352 [Artist Resources]
At Hong Jinbao's table, all the brothers in Hong's class didn't talk much, and they all buried their heads in eating a sumptuous meal, and after eating, they either asked the waiter to serve the food, or ran to the buffet to add food by themselves.
Hong Jinbao looked at the gluttonous appearance of the brothers, and then looked at Huang Baiming, Zhang Aijia and others at the adjacent table holding red wine and clinking glasses and laughing, and immediately felt that the hillbilly behavior at his table was too embarrassing. But although the top dragon and tiger martial artists have a good income, they usually use it to drink and gamble to make women, and they really rarely go to such high-end places to eat big meals, and Hong Jinbao is not easy to give orders to let everyone pretend to be Sven.
Hong Jinbao couldn't speak, but Yuan Biao didn't care about it, patted the table lightly and said: "It's all starving ghosts reincarnated, eat slowly, your face will be lost by you." β
Yuan Bin slowed down the action of peeling the lobster shell, and said with a smile: "Brother Sanmao, this year's Academy Awards are really good, and there will be a free meal after the award, which is much better than the Golden Horse Awards and the Asian Film Festival." β
Hong Jinbao turned his head to look at Kang Jianfei, who was talking to the little Lori Fu Mingxian, and sighed: "If someone is willing to pay, it will naturally be done beautifully, and it is normal for the pomp to be bigger." β
The future "charter father" Yuan Hua rinsed his mouth with red wine, drank it again and said: "Now it is rumored that Kang Jianfei is worth more than one billion, and he is richer than Boss Zou." β
Yuan Bin sighed: "Don't say anything else, I am convinced of Boss Kang's ability to make money." β
Yuan Biao smiled narrowly: "You are serving Boss Kang's ability to pick women." β
Yuan Bin shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that I sue you for slander." β
"Hey, you're getting farther and farther away, little junior sister is here!" Hong Jinbao reminded loudly.
The future "charter wife" Yuan Qiu said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not that I haven't heard them say faint words." β
Hong Jinbao suddenly asked: "Senior sister, I heard that all the artists of Kang Jianfei's company have been transferred to Oriental Entertainment Company, have you heard your sister talk about this?" β
Yuan Qiu's sister is called Wen Xueer, one of the leading actresses of Phoenix TV, and she just starred in the New Year's TV series of Phoenix TV.
Yuan Qiu thought for a while and said, "It seems that Xue'er said that she went to some new company." β
Yuan Biao asked, "Brother Sanmao, you seem to be quite interested in that new company." β
"It's nothing, everyone drinks!" Hong Jinbao smiled and raised his glass.
Just as the dinner was about to start, Hong Jinbao suddenly received an invitation from Pan Yingzi himself, inviting him to attend the opening ceremony of Oriental Entertainment Company next week.
The invitation was accompanied by an introduction to Oriental Entertainment, which stated that the company was an entertainment agency that was completely outside of all television stations, record labels, film companies and cinema companies. Oriental Entertainment Company not only has many stars, but also provides customized services, for example, a certain film company lacks a few actors, only need to put forward the requirements, Oriental Entertainment Company will substitute suitable actors, and audition until the employer is satisfied.
In today's Hong Kong film industry, the selection of actors for movies basically relies on personal relationships, or invites a certain famous star to act, and another way is to discover new talents from the street.
The emergence of a professional entertainment brokerage company such as Oriental Entertainment Company can be regarded as filling the gap in the market and meeting the needs of many film companies.
Hung Jinbao's Baohe Film Company, although it is a satellite company of Golden Harvest, there is a shortage of actresses.
In fact, the whole Golden Harvest is like this, there are many male actors, but there are almost no famous actresses.
The main reason is that Golden Harvest started with kung fu films from the beginning of its establishment, and the actress completely belongs to the vase, and it is okay to find a beautiful makeshift temporarily, thus ignoring the packaging and training of the actress.
For example, after Cheng Long joined Golden Harvest, he successively filmed two kung fu films, "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" and "Young Master Long", and its heroines Li Lili and Sydney were all actresses temporarily found from Li's TV station.
Even Cheng Long's pillar movies are like this, and it goes without saying that the heroines were all found before filming.
Kang Jianfei is different, from the beginning of the establishment of DreamWorks, he has focused on the cultivation of actresses. Among the highest-paid female stars in Hong Kong now, 5 of them have been cultivated by Kang Jianfei - Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Li Saifeng, Li Yanshan, Guan Zhilin, and a large number of slightly inferior quasi-first-line actresses such as Wen Bixuan and Hui Yinghong.
Now that there are artists from Phoenix Channel and Popular Records joining, the star resources of Oriental Entertainment Company can be said to dominate the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Although there are many movie stars in Shaw Brothers, most of them are outdated and cannot be compared with Oriental Entertainment Company at all.
Hong Jinbao really wants to cooperate with Oriental Entertainment Company, if nothing else, only a few actresses such as Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Hui Yinghong, etc., which is enough to attract him. In particular, Hong Jinbao is planning a comedy action movie with Huang Bingyao, which needs a cute heroine, and only Zhong Chuhong is the most suitable for him.
Hong Jinbao has only one concern, he is afraid that because of the contradiction between Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai, it will be difficult to cooperate.
But what if you don't cooperate with Oriental Entertainment Company?
Golden Harvest used to be mortal enemies with Shao Yifu, so it was impossible to invite actresses from Shaw Brothers and TVB to film, and they always chose actresses on Li's TV station, such as Li Lili and Sydney, who were both actors of Lishi at that time.
But now Phoenix Terrace is already an industry in Kang Jianfei's hands, and the relationship between Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu is sometimes good and bad, which makes it difficult for Jiahe to find an actress to make movies now. The heroines of Golden Harvest's recent dramas are either newcomers discovered on the street, or actresses who come over from Taiwan, which makes Hong Jinbao and others quite a headache.
For example, Xia Wenxi, who Jiahe is ready to praise, is a newcomer, and last year this girl went to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea, because Aimei did not wear myopic glasses, and as a result, she mistakenly regarded Liu Zhenwei as her friend. Xia Wenxi walked over to say hello and sat down, and after ordering refreshments, he chatted with Liu Zhenwei for a few minutes before he realized that he had recognized the wrong person.
And Liu Zhenwei also found Xia Wenxi interesting, and then invited her and Zhang Guorong to star in "Fire Green ChΕ«n" together, and was an instant hit by Golden Harvest.
While Hong Jinbao was thinking, Mecca also quietly handed the invitation to Huang Baiming and asked, "Do you think Mr. Lei will agree?" β
Huang Baiming carefully read the profile of Oriental Entertainment Company, and said with a wry smile: "I guess I won't agree, he would rather go to TVB and Shaw Brothers to choose actors, and it is impossible to cooperate with Kang Jianfei in the short term." β
Compared with Golden Harvest, the actor reserve of Xinyicheng is even worse, and there is almost no signed actor of its own. In all the movies of New Art City, there are only a few actors who come and go, the three bosses and Teddy Robin, Zhang Aijia and other managers have to go into battle in person to play the starring roles, and the other actors are improvised.
Except for companies such as Golden Harvest and New Arts City, most small companies are still happy to see the establishment of Oriental Entertainment Company, because it will greatly facilitate their casting when filming.
Pan Yingzi walked around at the dinner, distributing invitations and business cards everywhere, and chatting with some company bosses, producers, and directors from time to time. Compared with being the vice president of film and television at DreamWorks, Pan Yingzi is much more handy in communication.
"Mr. Pan, it has only been half a year since the reorganization of our Yindu organization, and there is just a lack of good actors, I hope to cooperate happily in the future." Shi Hui held Pan Yingzi's hand and said with a smile, she used to be the director of the actor room of the Great Wall Film Company, and now she is also managing actors and logistics in Yindu.
During the Mainland's 10-year movement, Hong Kong's leftist companies cut production and stopped production, resulting in a massive loss of resources.
Some of the actors of the three major leftist film companies have chosen to quit the film industry, some have chosen to join television stations, and few have transferred to other film companies. Because these filmmakers who have been labeled as leftists are easily banned by the Taiwan authorities, no film company dares to take them in. As for the behind-the-scenes employees of the three leftist companies, most of them joined Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and TVB.
Only a small number of employees survived to stay in leftist companies, and these people have become the backbone of today's Yindu organization.
The two chatted and walked towards Kang Jianfei, Shi Hui's hand was on her daughter Fu Mingxian's shoulder and asked, "You said that you went to get the steak yourself, why did you come to pester Mr. Kang?" β
Fu Mingxian winked at Kang Jianfei, then returned to his mother and said, "Mom, Mr. Kang promised me to join his company as an actor." β
Shi Hui, the goddess of Hong Kong, was stunned, and she didn't see the gentle and virtuous lady before, and scolded: "How old are you? Let me go back to study obediently, and don't think about other messy things until I graduate from middle school. β
Fu Mingxian pouted aggrievedly, and looked at Kang Jianfei with big eyes flickering, as if he wanted Kang Jianfei to help her intercede.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Ms. Sun (Shi Hui is a stage name), children should focus on their studies, but after-school practice is also very important. Since Ling Qianjin likes to be an actress, it is better to set a standard for her, as long as she achieves a certain score in the exam, she will agree to come out to film during the holidays. This not only develops her hobby, but also motivates her to study hard. β
Shi Hui's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was having a headache about her daughter's poor homework, and said: "Mr. Kang really has a good idea, Ah Xian, have you heard, if your homework can improve, I will allow you to go to Mr. Kang's company to be an actor in the summer." β
Fu Mingxian didn't have much excitement, but lowered his head and muttered: "I still have to study, I don't have any energy at all!" β
Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing, where does Fu Mingxian, this little Lori, love filming? It's just that he doesn't want to read and make excuses.
Shi Hui took her depressed daughter away, and Pan Yingzi had the opportunity to chat with Kang Jianfei alone, saying: "There are already eleven film companies that are willing to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Oriental Entertainment Company. β
Kang Jianfei poured Pan Yingzi a glass of champagne and said, "Don't be too tired, you should relax at today's dinner, why bother running business around by yourself, just let the people below do it." β
"How can there be a better chance than today," Pan Yingzi half-leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder and said with a smile, "I also know that Lu Dao cares about me, even if you have a conscience." β
Kang Jianfei saw that there were reporters secretly taking pictures in the distance, and he didn't bother to stop it, so he only gently pushed Pan Yingzi away and said, "You are my woman, I don't care who you care about?" β
Pan Yingzi said in a sour tone: "Hmph, you have a lot of women." People kindly brought Xie Zhan's little girl to let you play, you're good, and now you've thrown me, the matchmaker, over the wall. β
Kang Jianfei thought that he hadn't made love to her since years ago, Pan Yingzi, the demon jΔ«ng, was probably panicked, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm still jealous of those little girls, where will I go to you tonight." β
Pan Yingzi became happy and said, "Don't talk doesn't count." β
Kang Jianfei sighed, he was going to send Zhong Chuhong back tonight to see if he could take the opportunity to eat Sister Hongdou, but now he could only change the plan.
The two were sitting on the sofa in the corner and whispered**, Lin Zhengying came over with a twist, and after thinking about it, he finally mustered up the courage, walked up to Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, excuse me." β
"It's Uncle Nine, please take a seat." Kang Jianfei called Lin Zhengying's nickname and said.
"Xie Lu Xie," Lin Zhengying sat down and said, "Mr. Kang, don't call me Uncle Jiu, just call me A-Ying." β
Kang Jianfei asked, "Is there something wrong?" β
Lin Zhengying took out a big red invitation card from his pocket and said, "I will get married next month, if Mr. Kang is free......"
Kang Jianfei thought that Lin Zhengying came to join him, but he didn't expect to invite him to the wedding, and immediately took the wedding invitation with a smile. (To be continued.) )
