Xiang Huaqiang came to drink to see Kang Jianfei's face, but he was not interested in Yang Dengkui, a colleague from southern Taiwan. After drinking for a while, he found an excuse to say goodbye.

After Xiang Huaqiang left, Yang Dengkui finally talked about the important matter: Mr. Kang, you are an expert in filmmaking, and I am definitely not as good as you in this regard.But I still love the movie industry very much. I took a lot of effort to get the script of "The Red Pink Corps" and sincerely wanted to invite Miss Lin to star in it.

Kang Jianfei did not agree immediately, but asked Zhu Yanping: Where is the movie being prepared?

Zhu Yanping said: In the casting process, we have invited several actresses including Liu Haoyi, Peng Xuefen, Yang Huishan, and Sally Yeh, just waiting for Miss Brigitte Lin to nod.

By listening to the actresses Zhu Yanping mentioned, you know that Yang Dengkui has put a lot of effort into this movie.

Among them, Liu Haoyi is a TV star and a female fighting star who has practiced martial arts since childhood. She is well-known in Taiwan; Peng Xuefen is an advertising star with a fresh and beautiful appearance, and is known as a student lover; Yang Huishan is very famous in Taiwan whether she is a host or an actor; although Sally Yeh has never filmed any drama, she is a new popular female singer in Taiwan in the past two years.

These actresses belong to different TV stations, film companies and record companies, and it is impossible for ordinary film producers to collect them. I think Yang Dengkui used some special means.

Kang Jianfei said it hard: DreamWorks has launched the shooting plan for "The Royal Sister 2". Qingxia is about to go to the United States to shoot films and will not have time to take on Boss Yang's "The Red Pink Corps" within at least two months.

When Yang Dengkui heard this, he became silent. It was his first time investing in making a movie, and he was not sure that "The Red Pink Corps" would definitely be a hit.

"The Royal Sister" is a Hong Kong film that is popular in Europe and the United States. Now that "The Royal Sister" is about to make a sequel, it is naturally much more important than "The Red Pink Corps". Whoever chooses will shoot the former first.

Zhu Yanping looked at Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin, and suddenly said to Yang Dengkui: Boss Yang, with our current progress, the fastest start-up can only be done in half a month.Why don't we wait?

Yang Dengkui gave Zhu Yanping a blank look. The schedules of so many popular Taiwanese stars have been arranged, and it was delayed for two months for Brigitte Lin. This is equivalent to letting other actors wait for two months in vain, and then delaying at least one month of filming time. Even if he is a gang leader, he cannot do anything randomly.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: Boss Yang, why not do this? Let Li Saifeng play the role of Qingxia.

Li Saifeng?Yang Dengkui looked at Zhu Yanping.

Zhu Yanping nodded at him and said: Li Saifeng has been very popular in Taiwan in the past two years, so it would be nice if she was.However, Li Saifeng is weak and has always been filming romance and art films. Can she be competent for action movies like "The Red Pink Corps"?

When Yang Dengkui heard Zhu Yanping say this, he immediately threw a look at Kang Jianfei for inquiring.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Haven’t you heard of it?Li Saifeng is my only apprentice. From the beginning, I trained her as an action actress, but I didn’t have time to perform.

Zhu Yanping was happy and asked: Mr. Kang said that Li Saifeng knew Kung Fu?

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: You can do some tricks and moves. Fighting may be worse than street gangsters, but making movies is enough.

Since Li Saifeng is Mr. Kang's favorite disciple, there is no problem at all.Zhu Yanping said with a smile.

Yang Dengkui did not agree immediately, but said with some concern: If we invite Li Saifeng, will we be stuck during the film review?

Yang Dengkui's words calmed down the private room. Ordinary Taiwanese people didn't know about Kang Jianfei's ban on the news bureau, but everyone in the Taiwanese film industry knew about it.

Although the News Bureau did not announce that it would ban the entire DreamWorks, it is obvious that DreamWorks' movies cannot be sold into the Taiwan market.

As a result, Li Saifeng, who was originally very popular in Taiwan, suddenly couldn't receive a film appointment from Taiwan in the first half of this year because Taiwanese investors were worried.

As for Brigitte Lin, it is an exception. Unless Brigitte Lin goes to the mainland by herself, even if the Oriental Dream Factory is banned, the Taiwan News Bureau cannot ban Brigitte Lin.

Kang Jianfei asked Li Saifeng to replace Brigitte Lin to film "The Red Pink Corps". In fact, he had his own plans in his mind, which was to dispel the concerns of Taiwanese producers and then normalize the cooperation between DreamWorks and the Taiwanese film industry.

But unexpectedly, Yang Dengkui told the key point of the problem on the spot, which made Kang Jianfei difficult to deal with.

Seeing that the two sides had a breakdown, director Zhu Yanping suddenly said: Mr. Kang, if you want to communicate with the News Bureau and lift the ban order, you can go find someone to try it.

oh?Kang Jianfei was delighted when he heard this and asked with great interest, "I have consulted Mr. Mei Changling, but he said he couldn't help. Who in Taiwan has more weight than him?"

Zhu Yanping explained: It’s not that Mr. Mei can’t help, but that he is not convenient for him to speak in this matter, after all, it involves the mainland.

Kang Jianfei asked: Then Director Zhu, the person you mentioned is convenient?

Zhu Yanping smiled and said: No need for him, he just needs to help Mr. Kang introduce someone, and everyone can solve the problem by sitting down and having a meal.

Kang Jianfei thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Zhu Yanping was talking about. He asked: Director Zhu, please tell me who that person is.

Zhu Yanping looked at Brigitte Lin and said softly: Great director Liu Jiachang!

Brigitte Lin's face became quite complicated when he heard Liu Jiachang's name.

Although Brigitte Lin debuted in the film "Outside the Window" by Qiong Yao, to be serious, it was Liu Jiachang who really made Brigitte Lin famous.

Liu Jiachang was involved in Gu Minglun's suicide a few years ago. At that time, public opinion in Taiwan fell to the point that Liu Jiachang forced Gu Minglun to death, which forced Liu Jiachang to go far to the United States to avoid the limelight.

Gu Minglun is Lin Qingxia's best friend. During the funeral, Brigitte Lin personally held the coffin to see her off.

Liu Jiachang can be regarded as Lin Qingxia's mentor. Liu Jiachang's wife Zhen Zhen is also Lin Qingxia's best friend. As a result, the mentor forced her friend to death, which made Lin Qingxia very uncomfortable in the middle.

Therefore, when Zhu Yanping mentioned Liu Jiachang, Brigitte Lin felt uncomfortable all over.

Liu Jiachang was a godfather-level existence in the Taiwanese music scene in the 1970s, and was also the most popular commercial director in Taiwan. Even the layman Yang Dengkui knew that Liu Jiachang was the man.

Yang Dengkui also said in surprise: Didn’t Liu Jiachang go to the United States?

Zhu Yanping said: I just came back last month.

Kang Jianfei only knew that there was someone like Liu Jiachang, but he didn't know much about him. He asked: Can Liu Jiachang control the opinions of the News Bureau?

Zhu Yanping explained: Of course, Liu Jiachang is not that capable, but he has a good personal relationship with the second son of Jiang, Xiaowu, and he has a relationship with the Ministry of National Defense and the Bureau of Information.

Kang Jianfei hesitated and said: This is fine, although it is necessary to lose money and avoid disasters.

Kang Jianfei began to pull Yang Dengkui to drink and said: Come on.Today I will give you a cup to Boss Yang.

Yang Dengkui also laughed: It’s easy to say, it’s easy to say.Mr. Kang, I will respect you first!

After drinking for more than half an hour, Kang Jianfei helped Yang Dengkui walk out with drunken eyes and took the opportunity to whisper to Zhu Yanping: Director Zhu, please contact me for Liu Jiachang. I will go to Taiwan in a while.

good.

Zhu Yanping was overjoyed. Although he has made several movies with good box office in the past two years, he can only be considered a second-rate director in Taiwan and his reputation is not very good.

Now that he has Yang Dengkui as his backer, if he gets to Kang Jianfei through this matter, he will be much easier in the future.

Zhu Yanping and Yang Dengkui's younger brother helped Yang Dengkui back to the hotel. Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia went downstairs side by side. As soon as he was about to open the car door, Lin Qingxia said: You have drunk, I'll drive.

Brigitte Lin started the car, while Kang Jianfei leaned against his seat and closed his eyes to rest, thinking in his mind how to get along with Jiang Xiaowu's line.

Time travelers are not omnipotent. The last time I went to mainland China to film "Zhang Sanfeng" was a major mistake for Kang Jianfei.

He only knew that Jet Li was signed by Shaw Brothers two years later and also made several movies, and Taiwan did not punish Shaw Brothers at all.

But sometimes, the time difference is completely different for a few months, let alone two years.

Today's Taiwan is completely different from Taiwan two years later, and Kang Jianfei is purely hitting the gun.

For fear that Jet Li would anger the Taiwan authorities again, Kang Jianfei had already loaned Jet Li and is now filming "Shaolin Boy" for Great Wall Film Company.

This time, with the opportunity to ease, Kang Jianfei said he would seize whatever he wanted, and the chance of success seemed to be very high.

The Taiwan News Bureau is actually very ambiguous about dealing with "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". It was just that it stuck with DreamWorks movies during the film review and listed Kang Jianfei as a sensitive person in the news to restrict reports.

However, the Taiwan authorities did not restrict Kang Jianfei from entering Taiwan, so Kang Jianfei could go to Taipei to film "The True Colors of Heroes" at any time.

If he was banned by the Taiwan News Bureau, Kang Jianfei could still hold on if he only lost that little box office.

The biggest impact on the company was due to the ban from the Taiwan authorities, which led to other Hong Kong film companies not cooperating with DreamWorks.

Oriental DreamWorks has raised a large number of people, but it is impossible for them to film dramas all the time. The Kang family class, the Raptors stunt team, the company's actors, behind the scenes, etc. can all reduce administrative expenses through cooperation with other companies, and even make a small profit.

The Taiwanese authorities' ban on DreamWorks will not be lifted for a day, and employees of Oriental DreamWorks can only film for themselves. This will greatly affect employees' confidence in the company.

In a daze, Kang Jianfei, who was slightly drunk, found that he had parked home.Just as he was about to push the door and get out of the car, he suddenly patted his head and said: Qingxia, go to the airport, Xiaoguan is coming back today.

Xiao Guan is Guan Zhilin. Brigitte Lin had long suspected that the relationship between the two was abnormal, but now she had to drive to pick up her lover because she was afraid that Kang Jianfei would drive in an accident while drunk.
