Chapter 332 Big Action

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Kang Jianfei slept on the plane for more than ten hours, and his eyes opened and he had already reached the sky above Hong Kong.

Last night, Rosamund Guan was seeking death and had sex with Kang Jianfei all night. When Kang Jianfei left, she slept like a dead pig and didn't even go to the airport to see him off.

With the rapid development of Hong Kong films in the past two years, the release schedule of Hong Kong films has become more and more refined.

For example, some theaters in the past Christmas season started in early December, and some were released directly from Christmas.

Last year and this year, several major theaters in Hong Kong have agreed to position the Christmas season starting on December 22, and all blockbusters will be released around the 22nd.

Until January 5th, the Christmas season was basically over, and the next-level movies began to be scheduled again.

The Spring Festival starts from the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month. This day is the Kitchen God Festival, and many companies start holidays on this day.

It was already January 19, 1983 that Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, which happened to be a buffer period between Christmas and Spring Festival.

In the just-passed Christmas period, the competition among several major film companies was not fierce.

Perhaps because of the sharp decline in the Hong Kong real estate and stock markets in the second half of last year, the social and economic environment was affected, Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Xinyi City all gave up the Christmas time and did not prepare for any blockbuster release.

In addition to DreamWorks' "Sister Royal 2", the most eye-catching thing about Christmas is the second movie "The Desert Man" after the establishment of Yindu Institution.

This film was filmed by independent director Weng Weiquan in Xinjiang and collaborated with the mainland. The real scenes of deserts and grasslands bring some small surprises to Hong Kong audiences.

Unfortunately, the content of "The Desert Man" is so bad. With the support of Yindu Cinema, it only achieved a box office of over 1 million yuan.

Another thing is the "Demon Hunter" filmed by Wang Jing back to Shaw Brothers. It was roughly filmed and got a box office of more than 3.6 million yuan, which made Shaw Brothers make a small profit.

However, "People Scary" directed by Wuma and starring Sammo Hung won 10 million in one fell swoop.

If DreamWorks' "Senior Sister Royal 2" had not been blocked by the way, "Scary Man" would have been the biggest winner in last year's Christmas.

The most funny movie released by New Art City on Christmas is actually a youth romance film called "Lemon Tea", which barely earned 2.6 million yuan in box office.

It is in this environment that "Sister Royal 2" dominated the Christmas episode with almost no pressure.

Although "Sister Royal 2 Direct Witness" had a box office of only $14.9 million in North America, less than half of "Sister Royal 1", it sold well in general.

The movie is in Hong Kong, starring Brigitte Lin, filming overseas, and super high production cost of HK$13 million. These few elements are enough to attract Hong Kong audiences to buy tickets.

When Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, "The Royal Sister 2 Direct Attack on the Witness" happened to be painted, and the box office in Hong Kong sold 18.54 million yuan.

Judging from the box office alone, "The Royal Sister 2" naturally loses money, but just one American box office makes DreamWorks make a lot of money, not to mention the vast Asian market.

The super hit "Royal Sister 2 Directly Attack Witness" not only proves that DreamWorks has the ability to fully reliably leave Princess Cinemas, but also marks that the Cinemas in the new era has become another theater giant after Shaw Brothers, Jiahe and Princess Jin.

Ming Pao Weekly commented: This strange theater chain in the new era has greatly increased its strength after the joining of Taiping Cinema and Queen Cinema, and its film source has become increasingly sufficient.Just in terms of the box office strength of theaters, theaters in the new era have surpassed Shaw Brothers theaters, which is comparable to Jiahe theaters... But strangely, no one knows who the owner of Taiping Theater and Queen Theater is.

"The Royal Sister 2" was hit in Hong Kong, and the male lead Donnie Yen instantly made the male lead famous.

His sharp fists and his cold and handsome appearance attracted countless attentions at once. Some newspapers even praised him without hesitation, saying that Donnie Yen is expected to become Bruce Lee's second.

……

Drink...drink...

Donnie Yen punched the paper pad on the wall, and was so tired that he sweated so much that he ran to take a shower and have breakfast.

Standing in front of the dressing mirror, Donnie Yen used hair wax to put on his short hair, put on a leather jacket, and put on the sunglasses he bought on the carpet two days ago before going out.

When he went downstairs, he met several women in the movie. Donnie Yen pretended to be reserved and raised his head, waiting for the other party to recognize him before he reluctantly signed him.

Unfortunately, the elevator had already landed on the bottom floor, but those women only treated him as air and left as soon as the elevator door opened.

Could it be that I was not recognized because I was wearing sunglasses?Donnie Yen thought with some depression, took off his sunglasses and inserted them on the collar of his wool sweater.

Since "The Royal Sister 2" was hit in Hong Kong, Donnie Yen has become a little fluttering in the face of many media praise.

In fact, this is also a normal reaction. Donnie Yen has been in DreamWorks for more than a year. He has been playing supporting roles as a passerby in the first half of the year. He filmed "The Royal Sister 2" for two months, and then played various supporting roles for half a year.

Because "Sister Royal 2" has not been released for a long time, Donnie Yen is almost moldy when he plays a supporting role, and even Cute has the idea of ​​returning to the United States several times.

Just when he was about to despair, "Sister Royal 2" suddenly made a big hit in Hong Kong and the United States. Donnie Yen transformed from a young actor to a popular kung fu star. How could he still maintain a normal mind?

After stopping a taxi when he went out, Donnie Yen took a seat with a big golden sword and said to the driver: Go to DreamWorks headquarters!

Oriental DreamWorks is now the most profitable film company in Hong Kong, and its headquarters is already well-known. The driver turned around and headed to DreamWorks.

Donnie Yen sat in the car for several minutes before he heard the driver ask: Sir, are you Donnie Yen who is playing in "Senior Sister Royal 2"?

It's Ah.Donnie Yen was proud of himself, but his face was still cool, and he could barely show a smile.

The driver exclaimed: Wow, your legs are so powerful, just as good-looking as Bruce Lee’s fight.

Donnie Yen said proudly: I am also a Chinese American and have admired Bruce Lee since I was a child.

I also like Bruce Lee, but now I have become your fan of the movie. The driver smiled and said, "It's rare to meet me by chance. If you get off the bus later, you have to give me an autograph."

Donnie Yen held the signature pen in his jacket and said coolly: No problem.

After getting off the car and signing the driver, Donnie Yen looked at the car parked downstairs of the company building, and then looked at the taxi he took when he came, thinking that it was time for him to buy one.

In the early 1980s, there was no special entertainment agency in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry, and most celebrities did not even have serious agents. Basically, relatives and friends helped to take on film appointments and announcements.

For example, in the past few years when Brigitte Lin debuted, her mother was completely a guest star as an agent and assistant.

If it were a star like Donnie Yen who suddenly became popular after 2000, he would be qualified to ask the company to help him arrange assistants and agents, and he could even apply for a special car pick-up and drop-off at some special times.

Unfortunately, it is still in the 1980s, and the big star Donnie Yen can only take care of everything.

Dennico morning!

Danny is here.

Hello Brother Dan.

……

As soon as I entered the company, many people greeted me.

These greetings made Donnie Yen quite useful. He looked cool with his head held high and his chest raised. He smiled slightly and nodded, like a lion patrolling his territory.

After Donnie Yen left, the person who had just greeted him started to say bad things.

This shabby boy is so arrogant that he doesn't even look at people directly when he says hello.

It's Ah, I think it's amazing if I become famous.

Brother Fa and Sister Qingxia are so popular, and they still joke with us every time they meet.

I don't see this kid's popularity for long, and it's not eye-catching at all.

……

Donnie Yen naturally didn't know what he was talking about him behind his back. He only knew that he was famous and was very respected and welcomed by everyone in the company.

When he came outside the artists' department, Donnie Yen was stopped by Zhang Guozhong's secretary: Danny, the manager is in a meeting, you don't have to go to his office.By the way, the contract change matter will be postponed and the company has made other decisions.

Have another decision?Donnie Yen was stunned for a moment.He came here today to change the contract. What does it mean to let him not change it for the time being?

While Donnie Yen was thinking about it, Kang Jianfei and the company's major presidents and managers were having a meeting in an office at DreamWorks.

After announcing the company's profits last year, as well as the dividends and bonuses for everyone here, Kang Jianfei began to talk about the main topic: I have a plan to cut off the artists of DreamWorks, merge with Fengxing Records and Fenghuáng TV's artist management department, and establish an independent entertainment agency.

Everyone here didn't understand what they meant. No one informed Kang Jianfei of this decision in advance and was confused by the plan he mentioned.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Kang Jianfei explained: The reason I did this is to avoid repeated waste of resources. After integrating the artist departments of DreamWorks, Fenghuáng and Fengxing Records, the artist resources can be allocated more efficiently and reasonably.The second is to make the packaging, publicity and training of artists more professional, learn from Hollywood, and improve and establish a training system for celebrity artists and behind-the-scenes employees.Third, after separating all the company's artists, it can greatly reduce the administrative expenses of DreamWorks.

Ma Qiao, Pan Yingzi, Zhou Mingfang, and a large number of department managers looked at each other.Kang Jianfei is the sole proprietor of DreamWorks. Since he has made a decision, those who work can only obey.

Pan Yingzi smiled and tentatively said: The artists department has been removed, and the production department is managed by Eric Tsang, so I, the vice president of film and television, have nothing to do.

It's enough for you to be busy, Kang Jianfei smiled and said that in the future, all the film and television contracts of DreamWorks will be handed over to Vice President Zhou Mingfang, and Pan Yingzi will be the head of the newly established brokerage company.Zhang Guozhong, you and most of the employees of the Artist Department will be transferred to a new company. In addition, some people from Fengxing Records and Fenghuáng Channel want to join a new company.You can get along with each other and I hope that the new company will officially open after the Spring Festival.

Then I don’t care about the film company?Pan Yingzi is still a little reluctant to let DreamWorks down the 3% dry stock.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I guess you will be too busy with the new company, so how can you still have time to deal with DreamWorks?

Zeng Zhiwei looked at Kang Jianfei with a gaze. Pan Yingzi, the vice president of film and television, was gone, and the artists department was gone. He, the production department manager, still didn't know which one to manage.

Kang Jianfei continued: In addition, I announced the cancellation of the dividends of employees' videos and changed to the end-of-year bonus system. The bonus depends on the company's profit and employee performance.As for the production department, Feng Huáng TV's TV series and variety show production department will be transferred to DreamWorks, Zeng Zhiwei will continue to manage the film production department, while Madon McDonald manages the TV production department.In other words, the production department of DreamWorks will be divided into two parts in the future, including the film production department and the TV production department.

Is the TV station's production department joining DreamWorks?The office was full of shock, and I couldn't understand what Kang Jianfei was thinking.

As for the new vice president of film and television, Kang Jianfei glanced at everyone and she would not arrive at the company after the Spring Festival. I think everyone has heard of her, which is Tang Shuxuan, who used to film "Mrs. Dong".

Zeng Zhiwei originally fantasized that he could be the vice president of film and television, but as soon as the name Tang Shuxuan came out, he knew that he had no chance.

When Tang Shuxuan won the award in France for her movies, Zeng Zhiwei had just joined the Liu family class to be a dragon and tiger martial artist.

However, Tang Shuxuan had immigrated to the United States long ago, and God knew how Kang Jianfei tricked people back to Hong Kong.

The fact is very simple. The main reason why Tang Shuxuan immigrated to the United States was that the movie she made was banned from the Hong Kong and British governments.

Now the Hong Kong and British governments have relaxed their censorship of movies. In addition, Tang Shuxuan was deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei's talent (the filming of "The Little Owner" in 11 days). As soon as Kang Jianfei sent an invitation, Tang Shuxuan agreed without thinking too much.

Kang Jianfei said: All departments have made great adjustments this time. Everyone goes down to coordinate and arrange each other to avoid omissions and frictions in future work.By the way, Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong stayed!

After everyone else was finished, Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong: I plan to call the newly established brokerage company Oriental Entertainment Company. It is now being registered and will be approved in a few days.Oriental Entertainment Company has two main functions: one is to train, package and promote artists. I will also transfer the Fenghuáng training class of Fenghuáng Station to a new company; the other is to arrange the artists' performance activities, including recommending its artists to other film companies to take on roles, and jointly organizing concerts for singers with record companies.

Pan Yingzi couldn't help but say: I don't think there is no need to open another company like this, right?

Don’t think that entertainment agency is so simple. One day, even Xinyi City and Jiahe will go to Oriental Entertainment to hire actors, and you will be truly successful.

Kang Jianfei threw a file bag to Pan Yingzi. This is my development strategy formulated by some entertainment agency companies in Hollywood and Japan. You can take it first and ask me if you don’t understand.In the past, the regulations of DreamWorks' artist department were very rough, and the income share ratio of all actors was almost the same.First of all, you must develop a clear star level. How to package stars of which level must have a very clear idea.According to the resources invested in the artist, the sharing of the artist, the broker and the broker will be reasonably allocated.We must ensure that every artist who debuts has his own agent, and the agent must be responsible to the artists under his command...

Kang Jianfei said a lot, and Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong thoughtfully heard it.

After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, Zhang Guozhong reminded: Boss, DreamWorks' actors' income share is the highest in Hong Kong. After the star system is established, the income of most artists will drop, which may cause their dissatisfaction.

You also know that DreamWorks actors have the highest share of the money. If those actors feel that they have less income, they can go to other companies Ah. Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "And as long as you do your job well, the popular actors will only earn more, and the young actors will also have more opportunities to stand out. What else can they say?"

Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong looked at each other and both smiled bitterly. The task assigned to them by Kang Jianfei was too heavy.

Kang Jianfei thought about it and said: By the way, I plan to hire a few American and Japanese professionals to join the company to help you cultivate, package and promote artists. You can learn more at that time.To be honest, if you go to Hollywood and you will find that the development of artists in Hong Kong is too primitive.

After sending Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong, Kang Jianfei called Huang Xizhao again and asked: Mr. Huang, have you figured it out?Transfer the TV series and variety show production department of the TV station to DreamWorks.

The artist department was removed, and the production department was also removed, and the TV station was left with only an empty shell.Huang Xizhao sighed, but she did not object to this incident.
