Dreams of the Fragrant River

Kang Jianfei casually ordered a cup of black tea, sat down and said, "Lao Xu, we meet again. [;Starter]"

Xu Ke listened to Kang Jianfei shouting affectionately, but suddenly he was not used to it, then nodded and said, "The afternoon tea here is good."

"It's great, so I come here often," Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Is it okay recently? I haven't seen much of your film work in the past few months."

"It's not bad." Xu Ke reluctantly said with a smile, since he directed for Xinyicheng, he has not directed the director for more than half a year.

Kang Jianfei pretended to sigh: "Art City is developing really fast, I heard that there is a branch office in Taiwan."

Xu Ke said in surprise: "The decision that Xinyicheng just made, I didn't expect that Mr. Kang has already received the news."

"I've already called you Lao Xu, and you can call Mr. Kang more points." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Xu Ke suddenly didn't know what to call Kang Jianfei. Calling A Fei and Fei Zai seemed too frivolous and disrespectful, and it was even more impossible to call him Brother Fei.

Damn, this is such an awkward name, is it so cheap to fly?

Kang Jianfei drank the black tea and said, "Zhang Aijia is still very capable. If she is in charge of the Taiwan affairs of Xinyicheng, she will definitely do it well."

Xu Ke nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Aijia is very good, he can produce and direct, and he can also make music."

The two of them were not in a hurry, and after going around hundreds of circles, they still didn't get to the point. It wasn't until the afternoon tea was cold that Kang Jianfei said, "Are you interested in coming to DreamWorks?"

Xu Ke asked back, "Have you found the movie theater chain of DreamWorks?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "If the problem is not solved, I will not have the time to sit here and have afternoon tea with you."

In fact, Lei Juekun's practice of suddenly cutting off the DreamWorks cinema chain made Kang Jianfei depressed for a long time, but he never worried about it. DreamWorks movies have always been very popular, so there is no need to worry about not showing in theaters. Kang Jianfei will run out and raise his arms and many theater businessmen will respond - although they are all second- and third-rate movie theaters.

Huang Baiming in the parallel space quit Xinyi City after falling out with Mecca and others. At that time, he didn't even have a serious company, and just based on the ability he had shown before, he set up a theater chain. Kang Jianfei is guarding the DreamWorks company. I am confident that he will not do worse than Huang Baiming.

Of course, Huang Baiming's three-year loss of more than 100 million yuan in the theater chain also made Kang Jianfei dare not directly cooperate with theater companies to form his own theater chain, but conservatively adopted a temporary theater chain strategy.

Xu Ke was very interested in how Kang Jianfei dealt with Lei Juekun, and asked, "Is that the new era cinema chain you told the reporter?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Tomorrow you will know."

Xu Ke coughed and said, "Jianfei, in fact, I have been quite rewarding in my work in Xinyi City, and I don't want to leave there for the time being."

Xu Ke's remarks can be said to be half true and half false. He has indeed gained a lot in the past two years in Xinyi City. In the past, Xu Ke's film artistic attainments were good, but his grasp of the commercial box office was insufficient. Whether it is to be a director in New Art City. Still a producer and screenwriter. They have greatly tempered Xu Ke's film business skills.

Although the gains are great. He also learned a lot from Mecca, Huang Baiming and others, but Xu Ke has been doing poorly in Xinyi City.

Mecca and Huang Baiming are both capable and assertive characters, but Xu Ke is also such a person. If their identities are equal, it's okay, and everyone progresses with each other in the debate. It can also improve the quality of film production. But the problem is that Mecca and Huang Baiming are the bosses of Xinyi City, and Xu Ke is just a wage earner. Whenever the two sides disagree, Xu Ke can only obey the orders of Mecca and Huang Baiming, and abandon his own ideas.

Over time, the depression accumulated in Xu Ke's heart can be imagined.

Knowing that it might be difficult to recruit directly, Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Lao Xu, have you ever thought about being a movie studio?"

Xu Ke was really interested and asked, "Tell me about it."

Kang Jianfei said: "The film studio is only responsible for making the film. You come up with a complete film plan, and DreamWorks can be responsible for providing funds, personnel and equipment, and responsible for the distribution of the film."

Xu Ke asked: "That is to say, the film production is entirely up to me?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, DreamWorks only has the right to make suggestions during the film production process. In the end, it is you who decides, and you have the final say when editing."

The suggestion of the film studio made Xu Ke quite tempted. What he lacked was funds and publicity and distribution capabilities, and these DreamWorks could solve it for him. And his best film production, Kang Jianfei promised not to intervene, completely satisfying Xu Ke's request.

In fact, Xu Ke's promotion to super director came after a hot sale.

At this time, Xu Ke's status in the film industry was only slightly higher than that of Gao Zhisen, and he was at the same level as Chen Xunqi. Kang Jianfei's proposal to help Xu Ke set up a film studio is a very high praise for him.

Perhaps the conditions were too favorable, Xu Ke asked: "How to operate it, and how to divide the box office?"

Kang Jianfei said: "The studio is yours, and you can handle the usual administrative expenses yourself. DreamWorks will invest the corresponding production funds, as well as manpower and equipment according to the movie planning you make. The copyright of the movie belongs to DreamWorks, as for the final film. Movie box office distribution, we can talk about it slowly."

Xu Ke asked: "If the film is made, will the remuneration of my director, screenwriter, and producer be included in the cost of film production, or in the studio's expenses?"

Kang Jianfei said: "Included in the cost of the film, that is to say, in addition to the box office, you have additional job income."

Xu Ke became more and more satisfied and said, "Can the film studio get 10% of the box office?"

"Yes," Kang Jianfei said, "but only in Hong Kong's local box office, the studio can get 10%, and I will only give you 5% in the box office outside Asia. As for Europe, America and Australia, if you can sell it there, work Room only gets 2%.”

"Then it's settled!" Xu Ke agreed directly.

The funds and manpower are all out of Kang Jian, and he is also responsible for the distribution of the film. This is a safe and profitable business for Xu Ke. He is a fool if he does not agree.

Kang Jianfei didn't shake Xu Ke's hand, but said, "I have another request."

Xu Ke said with a smile: "You said."

Kang Jianfei said: "If the budget is seriously overrun or the box office is too big during the shooting process, your film studio won't get a penny."

The smile on Xu Ke's face stopped for a while, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, you are the sponsor. If the box office hits the streets, I don't have the face to ask for a share of the box office, and I won't even ask for the director's salary."

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Xu Ke and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Xu Ke was full of confidence.

Why was Kang Jianfei optimistic about Xu Ke, but did not set up a film studio to retain Chen Xunqi?

To put it bluntly, if Xu Ke didn't have a fiancée named Shi Nansheng, Kang Jianfei would ignore him. Chen Xunqi and Xu Ke are both people with outstanding film skills, but they are not good at taking care of company affairs. With Shi Nansheng taking care of Xu Ke, Xu Ke's film studio will last a long time without burning money.

The next morning, the entertainment headlines were full of gunpowder.

As soon as the news came out, the Hong Kong film industry became lively again.

Shao Yifu watched the tiger fight across the mountain, Zou Wenhuai was also sitting on the side watching the good show, and Lei Juekun was so angry that he wanted to strangle Kang Jianfei to death.

It doesn't matter if Xu Ke is gone, at least there is a lack of an excellent director and producer, but Shi Nansheng is the big housekeeper of Xinyicheng. Shi Nansheng is in charge of administration and part of the production work. Her departure directly paralyzed the operation of Xinyi City.

In the afternoon, Kang Jianfei held a press conference, announcing that Oriental DreamWorks had established Xu Ke Film Studio, with Xu Ke as the studio production director and Shi Nansheng as the studio director.

The movie studio is still very rare in the Hong Kong film industry. It is a bit like the satellite company of Golden Harvest, but it has no special company registration. It is only a special department of DreamWorks, and at the same time has a high degree of independence.

Two days ago, Kang Jianfei was forced to step back, and his two generals, Chen Xunqi and Gao Zhisen, were poached by Lei Juekun. In a blink of an eye, Xu Ke, who was part of the core creative team of Xinyicheng, defected to DreamWorks, and even took the big housekeeper of Xinyicheng away, which simply blinded the eyes of countless onlookers.

Kang Jianfei's hand is too ruthless!

When people haven't come out of the shock of the incident, the publicity has started again. And Kang Jianfei also released words, saying that if the box office can exceed 8 million, then the series will be directed by McDonald's in the future.

The underlying meaning of this remark is that it doesn't matter if Gao Zhisen is gone, DreamWorks has a very rich talent pool.

When the hype ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ countless people asked, where is the screening theater of this movie?

Soon Jiang Zhiqiang stood up and gave them the answer. With the four major theaters under Anle as the leading theaters, the new era theater chain jointly established with more than ten small theaters was officially announced.

Under the new era cinema chain, there are a total of 21 cinemas and 27 canvases. Although most of its theaters are a bit shabby, it has to be admitted that the new era theater chain has become the fifth largest theater chain after Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Yindu.

Most people in the media and film circles admire Kang Jianfei's ability and determination. Because he was surrounded by Lei Juekun, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, not only was he not defeated, but he calmly made countermeasures.

As long as he can survive the current hurdle, Kang Jianfei will become a movie giant who can compete with several other tycoons. Everyone seems to be witnessing the rise of another movie tycoon in Hong Kong.
