Dreams of the Fragrant River

Pan Yingzi said that Zeng Zhiwei was dishonest, and Kang Jianfei was not surprised at all.

In another time and space, Zeng Zhiwei first worked for Shaw Brothers in Liu Jiaban; after Hong Jinbao's Hong Jiaban was established, he immediately jumped to join Hong Jiaban to help Jiahe; after Xinyi City was established, he followed Xinyicheng cooperated, and finally joined Xinyicheng and became one of the seven monsters of Xinyicheng; after the internal dispute in Xinyicheng, Zeng Zhiwei took the lead in running back to Jiahe, and by the way, he also pulled Mecca out to help Jiahe film the part.

When he returned to Golden Harvest again, Zeng Zhiwei was already a big-name director, producer and actor in the Hong Kong film industry. After that, he helped anyone who paid him to film, and traveled around the major film companies like a duck to water.

The most important thing is that Zeng Zhiwei has changed jobs so many times, but no one has offended, he is slippery like a loach.

After returning to Hong Kong for a period of time, Kang Jianfei immersed himself in the post-production. He was just staring at the editor to finish cutting the film, when Pan Yingzi suddenly came to the door with a person.

On this day, Kang Jianfei, Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng were watching the cut-out film. Pan Yingzi walked into the screening room with a person, sat beside Kang Jianfei and said, "A Fei, I'll bring you a person."

"Who needs Sister Azi to bring you personally?" Kang Jianfei joked, turning his head to look at the man behind Pan Yingzi.

This person is in his 20s, wearing a black woolen sweater, with messy hair, and his appearance is very ordinary. There is nothing special about it on the street.

Pan Yingzi said: "His name is Gao Zhisen. He used to be a screenwriter of Lishi. He came to the company with a script a few days ago, saying that he wanted to join the Oriental DreamWorks as a director. I think his script is good, and I plan to let him advance to the company. As a screenwriter, he has been pestering me every day these days, saying that if this script can be made, he hopes to be the assistant director of this play."

Who is Gao Zhisen?

The original director and screenwriter of Kang Jianfei, which was released at the beginning of the year, is the work of Gao Zhisen who plagiarized.

Now Zhengzhuer has come to the door, and he is holding a script and wants to be the director.

The projectionist saw Kang Jianfei talking about business. He stopped the film and ran to turn on the lights in the room. Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng also looked at the script in Kang Jianfei's hand.

Kang Jianfei opened the script, and the six characters were striking.

Before Kang Jianfei could read the script, Gao Zhisen said impatiently: "Mr. Kang, I have liked this movie very much since I watched it. Later, many people followed suit and made comedy ghost movies, but I don't think they caught it. The point. The success is not a ghost movie, but a school comedy. It's been almost a year since it was released, and DreamWorks hasn't made a sequel to a similar movie. I think it's a pity. So I wrote the script for the sequel without consent..."

Kang Jianfei opened the text of the script and said, "Continue talking."

Gao Zhisen saw that Kang Jianfei was listening carefully. He said happily: "What I'm talking about is that Chapter 156 is similar, with only some differences. After listening, he asked directly: "Gao Zhisen, right? If I asked you to be the director of this movie, how much budget would you use? "

Kang Jianfei's remarks have already revealed his intention to let Gao Zhisen be the director. While Gao Zhisen was ecstatic, he was also a little worried, because when Kang Jian flew the film, the cost was less than 500,000 yuan.

less than 500,000 investment. In the end, the domestic box office alone broke 10 million, plus the box office in Southeast Asia, Japan, and Taiwan, the return on investment of this film is close to 40 times. Almost everyone in the Hong Kong film industry knows this matter, and it is regarded as the goal of struggle and pursuit by countless film companies specializing in small productions.

But Gao Zhisen couldn't guarantee that he could get back dozens of times the profit with the cost of hundreds of thousands. He hesitated for a while. Try to keep costs down and say, "I need a budget of 600,000."

Kang Jianfei said: "I'll give you a budget of 800,000 yuan. The crew has a ready-made one. Chen Mingsheng will be your assistant director and art director. What do you think?"

"Let me be the director? Kang... Is what Mr. Kang said true?" Gao Zhisen felt that he had a problem with his ears. In his opinion, it would be good to be able to join the director's team this time. He didn't expect Kang Jianfei to directly let him be the director. .

Not only Gao Zhisen, but also Pan Yingzi, who brought Gao Zhisen over, was surprised. He didn't know why Kang Jianfei made such a hasty decision.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "You heard right, your script is well written, and I believe you put your heart into this play. Chen Mingsheng came from Taiwan, and he was running around the world in his teens. See you. Be knowledgeable. You have to listen to his opinions when shooting, and make some novel jokes. Don’t always make detailed revisions in my chapter 156. Don’t worry, I will definitely talk to him when shooting. Chen...Mr. Chen to discuss."

Kang Jianfei pointed to Chen Mingsheng next to him, and said to Gao Zhisen, "He is Chen Mingsheng, the first art director of our Oriental DreamWorks."

Gao Zhisen quickly held Chen Mingsheng with both hands and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Xunqi again and said, "This is Mr. Chen Xunqi. I need to ask him more about the soundtrack of the film. In addition, I will personally write a few episodes for you."

"That's great." Gao Zhisen listened to Kang Jianfei's offer to help write songs, and thanked him quickly, and then said a good word to Chen Xunqi.

Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi, "I don't think I have time during this time. You come to be the producer of this drama."

Pan Yingzi nodded and said, "Okay, when will your movie be released?"

"It will be released on Christmas Eve on the 24th, and there will be a premiere on the 21st. You don't need to worry about this, Ma Qiao will arrange it." Kang Jianfei said.

At this time, before even finishing the later stage, Kang Jianfei directly stated the release date of the movie, which made Gao Zhisen's eyes go straight.

Change to another small director, not to mention that the later stage is not finished, even if you take the finished film and beg your father to tell your grandma, it is very likely that it will not be released.

Gao Zhisen knew very well about Kang Jianfei's deeds. He knew that Kang Jianfei was also looking for the movie theaters with samples at the beginning, and he was even insulted by Jiahe people. It's only been a year since Kang Jianfei's film could set a release date before production is complete.

Idol!

Gao Zhisen looked at Kang Jianfei admiringly and felt that his new boss was too strong. He whispered, "Mr. Kang, if you still have important things to do, then I will be here now."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Okay, after you go back, discuss the preparations for this movie with Vice President Pan first."

Pan Yingzi said, "Then let's go first."

Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said, "Goodbye!"

After Pan Yingzi and Gao Zhisen left, Chen Xunqi asked, "This kid used to be a TV screenwriter, can he be a director?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You haven't been a director before, so you're not filming anymore."

Chen Xunqi said: "I'm different. I worked on the set when I was 15 years old, and I worked with the director team you were in."

Kang Jianfei said, "You and Mingsheng will hold the fire for him."

Chen Mingsheng smiled and said, "I don't have much experience as a director."

Just when Kang Jianfei was doing the post-production, Xinyicheng's was already shown in 12 theaters under the Golden Princess Cinema Line.

The heroine of this movie was replaced by Zhong Chuhong, who was recommended by Zeng Zhiwei. As for the original heroine actress Liu Lanxi in another time and space, she was still singing and filming in Taiwan at this time, and it would take two or three months before she came to Hong Kong to develop.

The female No. 2 Zhang Tianai has not changed. It has been a year since she returned from abroad, and her popularity is also very strong, in order to attract a lot of audiences.

At the beginning of the film's release, the box office response was mediocre, but in less than a week, some theaters were actually full.

Whether it was the three bosses of Xinyicheng, or Lei Juekun, they were very excited after hearing the news, and they quickly added two more theaters.

As I said before~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hong Kong films are entering a mature stage at this time, which is a transitional period, and many films have the drawbacks of old films.

But this is already a relatively mature work in terms of shooting techniques and plot lines. Even in the 1990s and the 21st century, Wang Jing and Wang Fatty were still stirring up cold rice over and over again, shooting a series to make money.

In less than a week, the box office of Xinyi City exceeded 3 million, and the cumulative box office in half a month reached more than 5.8 million.

Lei Juekun and Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming and others were very excited. This was the highest-grossing film in the Golden Princess Cinema this year, except for He.

Until December 20, the cumulative box office has reached 7.7 million, and it has been transferred to the next-level theaters for the second round of screening. Based on the current situation, the final box office in Hong Kong is likely to be around 9 million.

This movie has brought the hero Shi Tian's fame to a new level. The heroine Zhong Chuhong is already well-known in China. This time, she is as famous as Zeng Zhiwei, and the film salary has reached 100,000.

As for the production company, Art City, as well as its director Mecca, it is also in the limelight. ()
