Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is still under construction, and the newly opened Oriental Entertainment Company is headquartered in the Oriental Building in Kowloon.

Oriental Building is an office building purchased by Kang Jianfei at a low price, and to be honest, the staff in the building is too miscellaneous and not suitable for opening a star brokerage company. However, it is almost the same where to choose, so I can only make do with it first, and then move there when the film and television city is built.

Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong stood at the main entrance of the building, with flower baskets already placed on both sides of the road, and from time to time guests came up to congratulate the opening of the new company, and the reporters who received the news also stayed outside early.

In a corner of the building, two tabloid reporters were reading the introduction of the Oriental Entertainment Company.

One of the reporters asked, "Zhong Zai, what do you mean by Kang Jianfei?" Anita Mui, Zhou Yunfa, and Zheng Wenya were originally artists under him, but now they are changing their left hand to their right hand, and all of them have transferred their brokerage contracts to a new company, isn't it redundant? ”

"Who knows what he's doing?" Zhong Tsai stared at the company profile and said, "Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Su Rui, Li Saifeng, Hui Yinghong, Wen Bixuan, Li Yanshan, Li Lizhen, Xie Zhan, Li Yuanfeng, Zheng Wenya, Chen Xiuwen, Chen Huimin, Dong Wei, Liang Xiaolong, Wu Mengda, Lin Fengjiao, Lu Xiuling, Wan Ziying, Zhou Xingchi, Mao Xianyun, Zheng Zeshi, Alan Tam, Zhong Zhentao, Chen You, Lou Blu-ray, Zhen Zidan, Li Lianjie, Wen Xueer, Yung Huiwen, Wu Junru...... Damn, there are dozens of famous artists alone, but I didn't expect Kang Jianfei to have so many stars in his hands. ”

The previous reporter asked: "Didn't there be news a few days ago that Kang Jianfei made peace with Zou Wenhuai?" Zhong Zai, do you think Zou Wenhuai will come today? ”

"It's hard to say," Zhong Zai shook his head, suddenly picked up the camera hanging on his chest, shot at the front, and then said excitedly, "It's actually Miao Kexiu, is she also going to join Oriental Entertainment Company?" ”

While Zhong Zai was talking, the reporters from all walks of life who were squatting on guard had already slapped Miao Kexiu fiercely.

Miao Kexiu is 31 years old, with wavy hair and a goose egg face, and her facial features are so perfect that she looks like she has come out of a painting.

Those who have watched Bruce Lee's movies should be able to remember the beautiful woman who often appears in the film. Miao Kexiu's mother and Bruce Lee's mother are world friends, so the relationship between the two is almost like brother and sister, not as complicated and ambiguous as some reports.

After Bruce Lee's death that year, Miao Kexiu resolutely went to Taiwan to develop in order to avoid the turbulent public opinion in Hong Kong. At first, he made some love and love literary films, and later made costume kung fu films, because of the decline of Taiwanese films, Miao Kexiu has quietly withdrawn from the film industry after shooting a costume film last year.

Even Kang Jianfei didn't expect that Pan Yingzi actually recruited Miao Kexiu into the new company.

"Congratulations, congratulations, good luck!" Liu Zhenwei brought Yu Yunhang over and congratulated Pan Yingzi.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, two of you, please!" Pan Yingzi replied with a smile. She was a little reluctant to be transferred out of DreamWorks to manage the new company by Kang Jianfei before, but when she saw the artists gathered under her subordinates, she was so happy that her stomach was full of laughter.

The congratulatory guests kept changing, and many of them had to pay someone to send a flower basket to congratulate them, even if they were not available. Among these people, the most common category is the owners and directors of the dúlì film company, because of the establishment of the star agency, it is these dúlì filmmakers who have benefited the most.

"Zou Wenhuai is here!"

"It's really Boss Zou!"

“……”

Zou Wenhuai's appearance immediately caused a sensation at the scene.

This kind of occasion only needs He Guanchang to come once, or even just Cheng Long or Hong Jinbao to leak his face, basically he can already express Zou Wenhuai's position, and no one expected him to come in person.

As soon as Zou Wenhuai came, he naturally asked Kang Jianfei to come downstairs to greet him, and the picture of the two shaking hands cordially murdered the reporter's martial arts film again.

Taking advantage of Zou Wenhuai's lack of attention, Pan Yingzi asked Kang Jianfei in a low voice: "Ah Fei, why did Boss Zou come in person?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Cooperation, naturally we have to show a little sincerity." ”

Pan Yingzi didn't continue to ask again, she knew that Kang Jianfei must have something to hide and didn't want to say, and if she asked, it was in vain.

Zou Wenhuai personally came to congratulate Kang Jianfei's new company, naturally it can't be as simple as it seems. The two met in a tea restaurant a few days ago, talked for half an hour, and spent more than ten minutes talking about Hollywood.

Zou Wenhuai has always been thinking about rushing out of Asia and selling movies to the whole world. Golden Harvest has produced so many films, and only Bruce Lee's films have been the most successful in the Western market, in addition to this, "Cannonball Speed" has also sold in the top 10 of the North American box office.

But the cost of "Cannonball Speed" is too high, just for the actor to spend $5 million, such a high salary, even in Hollywood, it is a record, and many American actors regard Zou Wenhuai as a wronged leader.

And Kang Jianfei's "Royal Sister" series successfully entered the Western market, and "Home Alone" even won the box office, which really made Zou Wenhuai red-eyed.

In fact, Zou Wenhuai and Kang Jianfei have been in secret contact these days, and Zou Wenhuai wants to ask him to make movies that can enter the Western market together. The pool in Hong Kong is too small, tossing and turning, and everyone can't make a lot of money by tearing their faces to grab the box office, Zou Wenhuai's eyes have been looking outside.

"Mr. Kang, how are you thinking about it?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

Kang Jianfei has a headache now, Zou Wenhuai's initiative to show favor is very rare, and the large satellite company under Golden Harvest can bring a lot of business to Oriental Entertainment Company, and it is really difficult to make a stalemate.

But Zou Wenhuai's plan is very funny, he actually took a fancy to Lin Qingxia's fame in North America by relying on "Royal Senior Sister", and wanted Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia to cooperate to go to the United States to make movies, in a vain attempt to impact the Western film market again, and by the way, cultivate Cheng Long into an international star like Bruce Lee.

Kang Jianfei sighed and said: "Boss Zou, all the success of "Royal Senior Sister" is because of the flying car, explosion and kung fu action elements; The second is because of the female xìng theme movie. To be honest, it's okay to watch it fresh once or twice, but the box office of the second part of "Royal Sister" has fallen by more than half, and it is difficult for Easterners to gain the recognition of Westerners. ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "As long as the movie is planned well, it will definitely work, didn't Bruce Lee be able to sell at the box office around the world back then?" ”

Kang Jianfei really couldn't refuse, and said: "Okay, Lin Qingxia can lend it to Jiahe to make a movie, but I don't want to get involved in it, everything is according to the rules of the brokerage company." ”

Zou Wenhuai was a little unhappy, he just took a fancy to Kang Jianfei's keen vision of the Western film market, so he wanted to pull Kang Jianfei in to make a movie to reduce the risks. For this reason, Zou Wenhuai did not hesitate to personally come to support the opening of Kang Jianfei's new company, but Kang Jianfei always refused to take the set, so Zou Wenhuai was helpless to give face.

Zou Wenhuai asked with a radical method: "Mr. Kang is so unconfident?" ”

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's perseverance, Kang Jianfei didn't want to have trouble with him, so he only said: "I will accompany the investment within 8 million US dollars, and if it exceeds 8 million, I can only say sorry, and the funds in my hands are a little tight now." In addition, we divide the investment and box office half, and the film copyright is also jointly owned, so how about this? ”

With a budget of $8 million, it's an average investment in Hollywood, but if used well, it can make a great movie. For example, the first part of Cameron's "Terminator" uses a lot of models and special effects techniques, but the investment budget is less than 8 million.

Zou Wenhuai invested in Western films in the first two years, and after the failure of some small-budget films, he delusionally wanted to use high salaries to invite big stars to make big box office. If that's still the case, Kang Jianfei won't play with him, it's just that the money is too much to burn.

Zou Wenhuai saw that Kang Jianfei finally relented, and said: "Then it's decided, when Mr. Kang finishes filming the drama at hand, let's sit together and plan slowly." ”

"Okay, let's talk about the movie later, let's cut the ribbon first." Kang Jianfei was thinking about what film to make in his mind, so that he would not suffer in cooperation.

…………

…………

What's the situation?

When the photo of Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai cutting the ribbon for Oriental Entertainment Company together appeared in the newspaper, all those who saw the news had such a question in their minds.

"Ming Pao Weekly" analyzed: "Every year, during the summer vacation, Christmas, and Chūn festivals, there are only three companies that compete most at the box office, including New Art City, DreamWorks and Golden Harvest...... What prompted the two rivals to shake hands? I'm afraid it's not just a celebrity agency......"

"Ming Pao Weekly" analyzed and analyzed, and only said all kinds of doubts, but did not draw any conclusions.

Even Shao Yifu was confused this time, and he didn't know what kind of ghost Zou Wenhuai and Kang Jianfei were doing.

It wasn't until the eve of the start of "God of Gamblers" that Zou Wenhuai deliberately revealed the news, claiming that Golden Harvest would join forces with DreamWorks and invest $20 million to make a film in the United States, and the male and female protagonists were Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia respectively.

As soon as this news came out, everyone suddenly realized that Zou Wenhuai and Kang Jianfei wanted to join forces to enter the Western market.

Chen Bosen commented in "Film Fortnightly": "Judging from the situation of Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, it is obvious that the two are going to shoot an action movie, and both of them have heavy roles, Lin Qingxia is definitely not the vase heroine in Cheng Long's movies...... This is a pioneering collaboration, and if Kang Jianfei is in charge of planning or directing, the author will look forward to this film even more......"

……

Lei Juekun, who had finally recovered from last year's stock market and property market disaster, threw the newspaper aside with a sunny face and asked Mecca: "With a budget of 20 million, are you sure that you can earn back the cost?" ”

Mecca nodded and said: "I'm completely sure, I'm going to go to Paris to shoot and invite the actors of 007 to come, and "Best Partner 3" should also sell well at the box office in Europe." (To be continued.) )
