Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Four hundred and sixteen [before opening the line]

Cheng Long's house at this time was on the side of Lianhe Road in Jiulongtang, not far from the Waterloo Road Mountain Villa where Kang Jianfei had housed Wen Bixia and others. They could be regarded as neighbors to each other. [;Starting]

Chen Ziqiang drove his Toyota to Chenglong's villa, which was as convenient as returning to his own home. He walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa, saying, "Aaron, Mr. Zou has already made a decision. The location was in Spain, and the heroine was played by a woman named Laura Fanna."

Cheng Long threw a cola to Chen Ziqiang and asked, "Who is Laura Fanna? British or American actor? Never heard of it before."

"I heard that she was the Miss Spain champion five years ago." Chen Ziqiang opened the can and splashed a lot of Coke on his clothes. He didn't bother to wipe it off, so he took a photo from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table, "Well, The woman in the photo looks pretty."

Cheng Long picked up the photo and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up - this is a normal reaction of a healthy man.

Laura Fanna in the photo is more than beautiful, she is simply a top-quality babes. Her elegant temperament, which is both **** and pure, is far more attractive than Sophie Marceau, who has not fully grown yet.

Cheng Long couldn't help looking at it a few more times before he put down the photo of Laura Fanna, took out an invitation card for the Oriental Cinema Line from the TV cabinet, and asked, "Aqiang, do you think I should go?"

"Kang Jianfei's invitation?" Chen Ziqiang also found it difficult to handle, frowned and said, "Let's go, after all, you have just collaborated with him on a movie, so you still have to give this face."

"I'm afraid that Mr. Zou will think too much." Although Cheng Long often speaks without thinking through his mind, he still does things safely. That's why I asked my agent Chen Ziqiang to discuss it.

"Although there is competition between Jiahe and DreamWorks, it is a matter between Mr. Zou and Kang Jianfei, and the two companies have just cooperated. It is not a taboo for you to go to the opening screening of the Oriental Cinema." Chen Ziqiang helped Cheng Long to analyze, "And now Kang Jianfei has his own cinema company, and he has established a firm foothold in the Hong Kong film industry. In terms of influence and strength, it even surpasses Mr. Zou. What is lacking is only It's just your qualifications. If you have a good relationship with Kang Jianfei, not to mention that it will be easier to cooperate on filming, and if there is any unpleasantness with Jiahe one day, it can be regarded as a way for yourself..."

Chen Ziqiang didn't finish what he said later, but Cheng Long already understood it. And it's not just what Chen Ziqiang said, the more harmonious the relationship between Cheng Long and Kang Jianfei, the more Zou Wenhuai will use him, so as not to neglect Cheng Long and be poached by Kang Jianfei.

Chen Ziqiang took a sip of Coke and continued: "That's right. When I came, Mr. He had a chat with me and asked me to arrange your schedule. It seems that you have at least three big casts to shoot this year."

"Three? Besides which two?" Cheng Long asked curiously.

"One is a sequel. The other is probably a Western film," Chen Ziqiang said with a smile. "It is estimated that Mr. Zou was stimulated by Kang Jianfei's box office, and he started throwing money into Hollywood to make Western films."

"Again!" Cheng Long got upset and complained, "Shouldn't I be going to Hollywood again?"

Although the play in North America received more than 70 million US dollars at the box office. It was ranked in the top ten of the North American annual box office list that year, but Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen were both supporting roles in it. Not to mention the delay in their schedule, the film has no effect after it is released, and Western audiences have no special impression of them at all.

Chen Ziqiang smiled and said, "Listen to Mr. He, your role should be heavier this time."

"That's okay. I just don't know if it will sell well." Cheng Long said with anticipation and worry, he was scared by the past. But at the same time, I look forward to being successful, and I can make a name for myself in the West like Bruce Lee.

Chen Ziqiang said: "The first film has already become a signboard in Europe and the United States, and now the sequel is badly shot, it will definitely sell better than it is."

When Cheng Long heard this, he felt a lot more at ease and said, "Jiahe Filming is going to be released in the summer. What movie do you think DreamWorks will feature this summer?"

"The hero of Kang Jianfei's new film is Zhou Xingchi, and the heroine is the rookie with a lot of waves," Chen Ziqiang couldn't help laughing, "I don't understand what Kang Jianfei was thinking, but I might be surprised when his new film is released. many people."

...

...

Shao Yifu also received an invitation from the Oriental Cinema. This time, Kang Jianfei is not a disgusting person, but has a deeper meaning in it.

Shaw Cinemas has been selling for half a year, but now more than a dozen major theaters are still in the hands of Shao Yifu. Kang Jianfei really wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Shao Yifu about the acquisition of Shaw Cinemas.

Aside from the four leading theaters in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, there are three other theaters whose locations are really good. Kang Jianfei has no chance to buy a house or rent a new theater in those places. .

Since Kang Jianfei poached Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu, Fang Yihua had already hated Kang Jianfei. She said, "Sixth brother, please ignore him, then Kang Jianfei is a villain."

"It's better to ask Jiaxi to take a look on my behalf." Shao Yifu said that he was not angry, or that he had completely given up on Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Shaw Brothers also deliberately avoided the release of several other films during the Spring Festival. As a result, the local box office was only 3.79 million, which is not as good as the two-day box office. As for the next one, the box office was only 2.93 million, and it was forced to drop after a week of screening.

Shao Yifu was too lazy to think about the troubles of Shaw Brothers, so he asked Fang Yihua, "Ah Hua, did you buy that camcorder?"

"It's a two-in-one betaa camcorder," Fang Yihua remembered clearly. "It will arrive in two days. I'll check it out myself."

Shao Yifu sighed: "This kind of camcorder is a powerful tool for TV. It's a pity that we went behind the Phoenix stage again."

Fang Yihua did not admit that he lost to the Phoenix TV station, and defended: "It only took three months for the Phoenix TV station."

What is the biggest expense of filming a TV show today?

One is artificial, the other is film, and the third is scenery and props.

A reel of film is several thousand. If you shoot TV dramas several times a day, the cost of shooting dramas will skyrocket. aa camcorder is the latest product that was successfully researched by Sony Corporation of Japan the year before, and was only officially produced and marketed last year. It uses It is videotape instead of film, which allows TV stations to make programs that can be shot repeatedly, without worrying about wasting film and burning money.

Not only is it making TV dramas, it is also very convenient for TV stations to record news - the kind of big guy that news camera reporters used to carry is betaa camcorders. Aside from the slightly poorer picture quality, its recording capabilities were far superior to previous film cameras, and betaa camcorders were not completely out of the market until the invention of the digital video camera decades later.

It took less than two months for Sony to launch betaa camcorders last year, and Phoenix TV and DreamWorks each purchased three camcorders, becoming the only two units in Hong Kong to use this camcorder.

Although it cost a lot of money to buy the machine, the benefits it brings are obvious to all. Not only does it greatly reduce the cost of film, but it also greatly facilitates the recording of TV variety shows and news programs.

The wireless TVB side originally wanted to see a joke, thinking that Phoenix Television had bought a few flashy machines. It didn't take long for Fang Yihua to discover that the betaa camcorder was a revolutionary weapon, and hurriedly arranged for someone to go to Japan to purchase it.

In the past, if the performance of TV dramas was wrong, as long as it was not a big problem, it was basically doable. Now, with betaa camcorders, as long as the shooting time allows, you can keep improving like you are shooting movies.

Fang Yihua didn't bother about the betaa camcorder, but changed the topic and said, "Sixth brother, I heard news that Phoenix TV will hold a beauty pageant this year, and preparations are already underway after the Spring Festival."

"Beauty pageant!?" Shao Yifu, who was calm and calm just now, suddenly straightened up, his turbid old eyes showing a sharp look.

The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is very important in Shao Yifu's mind, no less than Shaw Brothers and TVB, which are things Shao Yifu is proud of. Even when Shao Yifu reaches the age of 100, he still insists on participating in the Miss Hong Kong final every year. It is conceivable that he attaches great importance to this.

Kang Jianfei originally founded DreamWorks to compete with Shaw Brothers at the box office~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then acquired Lishi and TVB to compete for ratings. Now he still wants to hold a beauty pageant, he just can't get along with Shao Yifu.

Fang Yihua said: "I don't know the specific details, but the Phoenix TV has indeed started planning. I'm afraid it will start publicity next month."

"The beauty pageant is not so easy to run!" Shao Yifu said in a deep voice, "Bring me this year's Hong Kong sister beauty pageant plan, you will let people stare at the Phoenix stage and be ready to see the tricks, who is Know what tricks Kang Jianfei's poor boy will play."

"I have already made arrangements. Even if Kang Jianfei is the grandson of the Heavenly Palace, it is impossible for him to hold a new beauty pageant. He just wants to steal the limelight of Miss Hong Kong." Fang Yihua said very confidently.

Fang Yihua's confidence is well-founded. The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been held for more than ten years. It has already evolved from a simple beauty pageant to a city card of Hong Kong and an annual viewing feast. How could it be held by a new one? Beauty pageants steal the show?

Shao Yifu rubbed his cane and said slowly, "It's better to be careful."
