"Mr. He, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Deng, the boss is waiting for you in the reception room, please come with me!" Chen Shuli smiled and said to He Guanchang, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng, who had just gone upstairs.

He Guanchang took the lead in the reception room, and immediately stretched out his hand to Kang Jianfei with a smiling face, and said: "Mr. Kang's "God of Gamblers" is really breathtaking, the box office is more than 30 million, and it has achieved another box office miracle. ”

"Where, where," Kang Jianfei was a little modest, and then said to Cheng Long behind He Guanchang, "I have always liked to watch Mr. Chen's movies, but I didn't have time to get close, and today I finally got my wish." ”

Cheng Long also shook Kang Jianfei's hand and said, "I have always wanted to talk to Mr. Kang about his experience in making movies. ”

The three of them came over today, naturally because of cooperation.

Within two minutes, Tang Shuxuan was also called into the reception room, and the five of them began to discuss the matter of co-making a movie.

"We are trying to break into the Western market this time, so it's best to shoot in the United States or Europe. ”

Kang Jianfei pondered for a moment and said: "The heroes and heroines are Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, which has already been said. However, the identities of the two people must be arranged, and the best actor is a grassroots in the West, but he has a relatively large hidden identity. What does Aaron think? ”

Cheng Long is 31 years old, and he was called "Ah Long" by Kang Jianfei, who was several years younger than him, but he didn't feel too harsh, after all, Kang Jianfei's status was equal to Zou Wenhuai.

was asked by Kang Jianfei by name, Cheng Long had no choice but to say: "You can discuss the plot, I am only responsible for filling in some funny details and fighting scene design." ”

Among the people who came to Golden Harvest, only Deng Jingsheng is a professional screenwriter, he said: "I think it is better to shoot in Spain, France or Italy, where it is more convenient to make movies than in the United States." And there is more room for plot design. ”

Kang Jianfei knocked on his forehead and said, "Okay, let's set the filming location in Italy for the time being, and the villain of the film can also be arranged as a black/hand party." ”

Deng Jingsheng added: "Ah Long's identity can be set as an incognito kung fu master. ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "This design is too cliché, it is better to position it as a member of the Hong Kong Flying Tigers who was forced to retire due to major work mistakes." Such an identity design can not only explain why the actor has good skills, but also makes it reasonable to be proficient in using firearms. ”

He Guanchang only listened to the side and did not express his opinion, Deng Jingsheng nodded in approval, and said: "The identity of the male protagonist is tentatively set here, but the female protagonist is not easy to set." "Royal Sister" has been released twice in Europe and the United States. have achieved good box office, and the current Western audience likes Miss Lin's image of beating women. In our movie, Miss Lin is a big selling point, so there must be many scenes, and she must be able to do kung fu. It's not as good as this. Miss Lin plays an Interpol who goes to Italy on official duty, and Aaron is inadvertently involved in the case. In the end, Aaron assists Miss Lin in defeating the mafia. Successfully solved the case. ”

Kang Jianfei couldn't help frowning, this kind of plot setting is too cliché, the whole Hong Kong-style police movie that takes place in Italy.

Deng Jingsheng noticed Kang Jianfei's expression and asked, "What does Mr. Kang think is wrong?" ”

Kang Jianfei, who had never thought about how to make up the story, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said with a smile: "Jack, a retired Hong Kong Flying Tiger player with extraordinary skills? Old. Working as an underground courier in a small Italian town – an informal occupation – driving a second-hand truck to deliver deliveries all day long. His cargo could be anything, but he never wanted to know it. He strictly enforces three rules and never violates them. This is also the reason why he has been able to send it all the way to the present: first, the next transaction will not change; Second, don't ask for a name, no matter who you work for or who you send it to; Three, never look at the package.

This time he took over a business, which was to deliver goods for an Italian. As always, Jack? Chen drove on the road. But on the way, he noticed that his 'package' was moving. This led him to break his third rule and inspect the package, which turned out to be a beautiful Oriental woman with her mouth taped shut.

Jack? Chen found that all three of his rules were about to be broken. His course changed, and his life changed completely. He and this girl embarked on a dangerous road, the mafia began to chase after them, more people and things entangled, whether it was running for their lives or chasing secrets, this time the delivery man accidentally fell in love with his goods, the only way is to fight with the owner of the goods, get his share, whether it is sweet or death, before tasting that taste, no one can be sure...... Well, the name of the movie could be "Deadly Express". “

He Guanchang's eyelids jumped, he had to admit that Kang Jianfei's story design is much more interesting than Deng Jingsheng's police film, and it is more attractive just by listening to the general plot framework.

Deng Jingsheng pondered the plot for a moment, nodded and praised: "Mr. Kang's ability to make up stories is really amazing, we can not tell the audience the truth about the heroine's kidnapping." Let the heroine deceive the male protagonist first, but it must be hinted to the audience that she is lying, and then the two are in a crisis, so that the audience will be curious about the truth, and want to know who the heroine of the road is and what happened to her, so that the plot can be unfolded layer by layer. ”

The framework of the story told by Kang Jianfei actually comes from Luc? "Very Human Traffickers" directed by Besson, starring Shu Qi, and Yuan Kui as a martial artist. However, it is only to give a general story framework, with Deng Jingsheng and Cheng Long to cooperate in the script, the plot and details behind must be completely different.

Deng Jingsheng is worthy of being the gold medal screenwriter of Golden Harvest, and with Kang Jianfei to design the story well, he immediately began to complete the entire plot. Everyone discussed for a whole afternoon, and basically designed the storyline: Lin Qingxia is actually a bounty huntress who was entrusted by her employer to steal an important treasure of the mafia, but was accidentally captured after succeeding. Because she has carefully transferred the treasure, the mafia is ready to send it to Rome for strict interrogation, trying to force her employer and the whereabouts of the treasure, but the black hero is rescued. All kinds of mysteries naturally have to be revealed layer by layer, in the process of the escape of the hero and heroine, Lin Qingxia's identity was known to Cheng Long, and the last two defeated the thugs sent by the mafia. found that there were two groups of people who came to arrest them - this is also the reason why the mafia did not personally escort Lin Qingxia at the beginning, but let Cheng Long, an underground courier, transfer, they wanted to avoid the interception of another group of people. After a difficult investigation, they found out that the other group of people turned out to be sent by Lin Qingxia's employer, and that employer was actually also a mafia person, and all the incidents were just a power struggle within the mafia family. In the last three-way scuffle, Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia naturally won the final victory, and the two obtained a fortune and went to the United States to live in seclusion. As for Cheng Long's funny fight scenes, when he is being pursued and fighting in the most rear, he can perform to his heart's content. There is no need for Kang Jianfei to bother his brains, Cheng Long can design it himself.

The storyline is basically decided, and the next step is the director.

He Guanchang finally spoke, and he said with a smile: "It's better for Mr. Kang to direct." ”

The reason why Golden Harvest cooperated with DreamWorks was because of Lin Qingxia's fame in Europe and the United States. and the box office appeal of Kang Jianfei, an internationally renowned director.

"I'm a director?" Kang Jianfei said funny, "It's okay for me to be a director." However, the shooting budget has to add 5 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

He Guanchang nodded and said, "If Mr. Kang is the director." It is definitely necessary to make high-quality products, and it is okay to increase the budget by 5 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "This additional 5 million Hong Kong dollars is just my director's salary." ”

He Guanchang was stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly unhappy, but he was immediately relieved. With Kang Jianfei's current influence, it seems reasonable to get a director's salary of 5 million.

Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "What." Mr. He can't call the shots in this matter? Why don't you go back and ask Boss Zou first. ”

"No, as long as Mr. Kang is willing to direct in person, the director's remuneration of 5 million is nothing." He Guanchang said categorically, Zou Wenhuai's side, he would naturally explain.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "That's good." That's it. I'll arrange it for the assistant director, and the action design and special effects scenes will be handed over to the family class and the Raptors stunt team, and the other crew members will each have some from each of us, what do you think? ”

"Yes." He added, "I think in the selection of actors, it is better to choose a few more famous white actors in the United States and Europe. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I'll take care of the selection of actors, the two of us can make a budget first, and then I will look at the budget and then decide which level of actors to use." ”

This kind of thing will definitely not be done in a day, and the time is almost over, so He Guanchang and the three of them got up and said goodbye, preparing to talk about it again tomorrow.

After He Guanchang left DreamWorks, he went directly back to Golden Harvest to report the situation to Zou Wenhuai.

After listening to the report, Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "This story is still very interesting, and Kang Jianfei's ability and fame are also worth 5 million." I don't want this movie to make much money at the box office, as long as it doesn't lose money, it will be profitable, and the most important thing is to promote Aaron to the European and American markets. ”

He Guanchang said with some concern: "Oriental Entertainment Company has developed too fast, it has only been established for half a year, and now at least one-third of the newly launched movies in Hong Kong will be looking for actors in Oriental Entertainment Company." In the long run, Kang Jianfei will definitely control Hong Kong's star brokerage market, and we are raising tigers for trouble. ”

"And what's the solution, can you stop him?" Zou Wenhuai asked rhetorically.

He Guanchang said his thoughts: "I think, do we also set up a star brokerage company? ”

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "It's too distracting, and Kang Jianfei has taken the lead, we are just too much to pick up people's teeth, Golden Harvest can still sign an artist's agency contract, or you can lend actors to other companies, it's the same whether you run a star agency or not." ”

In fact, Zou Wenhuai somewhat disagrees with Kang Jianfei's management philosophy of artists. Kang Jianfei can casually let Lin Qingxia, Zhou Yanfa and other pillars pick up the film outside, but Zou Wenhuai treats Cheng Long to death, because this is his magic weapon to win, and he is absolutely unwilling to share it with others.

In this way, if you open a star brokerage company again, it will be difficult to operate in business, and it will not be able to compete with Oriental Entertainment at all, so Zou Wenhuai simply does not plan to go there. (To be continued......)
