Dreams of the Fragrant River

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

He Guanchang took the lead in entering the reception room, and immediately extended his hand to Kang Jianfei with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Kang's is really amazing. The box office has exceeded 30 million, and he has achieved another box office miracle."

"Where," Kang Jianfei said modestly to Cheng Long behind He Guanchang, "I have always liked watching Mr. Chen's movies, but I just didn't have time to get close. Today finally got my wish."

Cheng Long also shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "I've always wanted to talk to Mr. Kang about the experience of making movies."

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

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

He Guanchang said: "We are aiming to penetrate the Western market this time, so the best location for filming is in the United States or Europe."

Kang Jianfei pondered for a moment and said: "The male and female protagonists are Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, which has already been agreed. However, the identities of the two must be arranged. The best male protagonist is a grassroots in the West. There is a hidden identity with a relatively large background. What do you think of Aaron?"

Cheng Long is 31 years old. He was called "Aaron" by Kang Jianfei who was several years younger than him, but he didn't find it too harsh. After all, Kang Jianfei's status was equal to Zou Wenhuai.

When asked by Kang Jianfei, Cheng Long had no choice but to say, "You can discuss the plot. I'm only responsible for filling in some funny details and designing the fighting scenes."

Among the people from Jiahe, only Deng Jingsheng is a professional screenwriter. He said: "I think it is better to set the location in Spain, France or Italy. It is more convenient to make movies in these three countries than the United States. Moreover, there is also room for plot design. bigger."

Kang Jianfei tapped his forehead and said, "Well, let's put the filming location in Italy for the time being. The villain of the film can also be arranged as a mafia."

Deng Jingsheng added: "Aaron's identity can be set as an anonymous kung fu master."

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

He Guanchang only listened on the sidelines and did not express his opinion. Deng Jingsheng nodded in approval and said, "The identity of the male lead is tentatively set as this, but the female lead is not easy to set. Two films have been released in Europe and the United States. They have achieved good results. Now the western audience likes Miss Lin's female-fighting image very much. In our movie, Miss Lin is a big selling point, so there must be more scenes, and she must be able to kung fu. It's better than this. Miss Lin plays a Aaron was also involved in the case inadvertently, an Interpol in Italy performing official duties, and in the end Aaron assisted Miss Lin to defeat the Mafia and successfully solved the case."

Kang Jianfei couldn't help frowning, this kind of plot setting is too cliché, the whole Hong Kong-style police and gangster film that happened in Italy.

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

Kang Jianfei, who had never figured out how to make up a story, suddenly had a flash in his mind and smiled: "Jack Chen, a retired Hong Kong Flying Tigers player with extraordinary skills, works as an underground courier in a small town in Italy - an informal Occupation. Drives a used van all day for couriers. His cargo could be anything, but he never wants to know. He strictly enforces three rules and never violates them, which is why he has been able to deliver all the time: First, it will not change when you take over the business; second, no name is asked, no matter who you work for or who sent it; third, you never look at the package.

This time he took over a business to deliver goods for an Italian. As usual, Jack Chen hit the road in his car. But on the way he noticed that his 'package' was moving. This led him to break his third rule and check the package - only to find it was a beautiful oriental woman with her mouth covered with tape.

Jack Chen finds that all three of his rules are about to be broken. His course changed, and so did his life. He and the girl embarked on a dangerous road, the mafia began to chase after them, and more people and things became entangled, whether it was escaping for their lives or chasing secrets, this time the deliveryman accidentally fell in love with If you get your own goods, the only way is to fight the owner to the end, and get your share, whether it is sweetness or death, no one can be sure until you taste it... Well, the name of the movie can be called. "

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

Deng Jingsheng pondered the plot, nodded and praised: "Mr. Kang's ability to make up stories is really good, we can not tell the audience the truth about the heroine's kidnapping. Let the heroine lie to the hero first, but we must imply to the audience that she is lying. Then, the two of them fall into many crises, which will make the audience curious about the truth, and want to know who the heroine is and what happened, so that the plot can be unfolded layer by layer."

The frame of the story told by Kang Jianfei actually came from director Luc Besson, starring Shu Qi, and Yuan Kui as martial arts). However, it is only a general story framework. With Deng Jingsheng and Cheng Long to cooperate in the script, the plot and details behind it must be completely different.

Deng Jingsheng is worthy of being Jiahe's gold medal screenwriter. With Kang Jianfei's story design, he immediately began to complete the whole plot. Everyone discussed it for an entire afternoon, and basically designed the storyline: Lin Qingxia is actually a bounty hunter who stole an important treasure from the Mafia at the request of her employer, but was unexpectedly captured after she succeeded. Since she has carefully transferred the treasure, the Mafia is preparing to send it to Rome for a rigorous interrogation, trying to force her employer and the whereabouts of the treasure. Unexpectedly, the black male protagonist was rescued. Various mysteries naturally have to be uncovered layer by layer. During the process of the hero and heroine fleeing, Lin Qingxia's identity was known to Cheng Long, and finally the two defeated the thugs sent by the mafia. It was found that there were actually two groups of people who came to arrest them - this is also the reason why the mafia did not **** Lin Qingxia in person at first, but asked Cheng Long, an underground courier, to transfer them. They had to avoid the interception of another group of people. After a difficult investigation, they discovered that another group of people was originally sent by Lin Qingxia's employer, who was actually a mafia person, and all the incidents were just a power struggle within a mafia family. In the final three-party melee, Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia naturally won the final victory. The two gained a fortune and went to the United States to live in seclusion. As for Cheng Long's funny fighting scenes, when he was chased and had a big fight at the end, he could show it to his heart's content. There is no need for Kang Jian to fly to waste his brain. Cheng Long can design it himself.

The storyline is basically set. Next comes the choice of the director.

He Guanchang finally spoke, he said with a smile, "Why don't Mr. Kang be the director."

The reason why Jiahe cooperated with DreamWorks was because of Lin Qingxia's reputation in Europe and America. And the box office appeal of Kang Jianfei, an internationally renowned director.

"I'll be the director?" Kang Jianfei said jokingly, "I can be the director too, but the shooting budget will have to add 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

He Guanchang nodded and said, "If Mr. Kang is to be a director, he will definitely want to produce high-quality products, and he can also increase his budget by 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This increase of 5 million Hong Kong dollars is just my director's salary."

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

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Why, Mr. He can't be in charge of this matter? Why don't you go back and ask Boss Zou for instructions."

"No. As long as Mr. Kang is willing to direct himself, the director's compensation of 5 million is nothing." He Guanchang said decisively, and he would naturally explain to Zou Wenhuai.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Okay, that's it. I'll arrange the assistant director. The action design and special effects scenes will be handed over to the Chengjia class and the Raptors stunt team. We will have some of the rest of the crew. How about this? ?"

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

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

This kind of thing can't be done in a day. It's almost time to get off work. He Guanchang and the three got up and said goodbye, preparing to talk again tomorrow.

After He Guanchang left DreamWorks, he went directly back to Jiahe 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 worth 5 million. I don't ask how much this movie can make at the box office, as long as it doesn't lose money, it's a profit. The most important thing is The goal is to promote Aaron to the European and American markets."

He Guanchang said with some concern: "Oriental Entertainment 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 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will find actors in Oriental Entertainment. If things go on like this, Kang Jianfei will definitely control the star brokerage market in Hong Kong, we are raising tigers."

"Then what else can you do, can you stop him?" Zou Wenhuai asked rhetorically.

He Guanchang expressed his thoughts: "I think, should we also set up a star agency?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "It's too distracting, and Kang Jianfei has taken the lead. We are just superfluous to pick up people and Yahui. Currently, Jiahe can still sign the artist's agency contract, and can also loan the actors to other companies, whether it is a celebrity agency or not. Companies are the same."

In fact, Zou Wenhuai does not agree with Kang Jianfei's management philosophy for artists. Kang Jianfei can let Lin Qingxia, Zhou Runfa and other pillars take pictures outside at will, but Zou Wenhuai takes Cheng Long seriously, because this is his magic weapon, and he is absolutely unwilling to share it with others.

In this way, if a star agency is opened 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 there.
