Pan Yingzi said that Zeng Zhiwei was not honest, and Kang Jianfei was not surprised at all.
In another time and space, Tsang Zhiwei started to help Shaw Brothers in the Liu Family Class; after Sammo Hung’s Hong Family Class was established, he immediately changed jobs to join the Hong Family Class to help Jiahe. After the establishment of New Art City, he cooperated with New Art City and finally joined New Art City, becoming one of the seven monsters in New Art City; after the internal dispute between New Art City, Tsang Zhiwei took the lead in running back to Jiahe, and also brought Mai Jia out to help Jiahe film "Best Good Star".
When he returned to Jiahe again, Eric Tsang was already a big director, producer and actor in the Hong Kong film industry. Later, he helped him film anybody who gave the money, and he was in the water among major film companies.
The most important thing is that Zeng Zhiwei has been resigning so many times, but no one has offended him. He is as slippery as a loach.
After returning to Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei devoted himself to the post-production of "The Royal Sister".He had just stared at the editor and finished cutting the film, when Pan Yingzi suddenly came to the door with her.
On this day, Kang Jianfei was watching the cut films with Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng. Pan Yingzi took her into the screening room and sat beside Kang Jianfei and said: Ah Fei, bring you someone.
Who needs Sister A Zi to bring you personally?Kang Jianfei joked, turning his head to look at the man behind Pan Yingzi.
This man looks in his 20s, wearing a black wool sweater, with messy hair and ordinary appearance. He can't tell anything special when placed on the street.
Pan Yingzi said: His name is Gao Zhisen, and he used to be a screenwriter of Lishi.A few days ago, I came to the company with a script and said that I wanted to join Oriental Dream Factory as a director.I saw that his script was good and planned to let him become a screenwriter in the company. But these days he pestered me every day, saying that if this script could be filmed, he hoped to be the deputy director of this drama.
Who is Gao Zhisen?
The real director and screenwriter Ah of "Happy Ghosts", Kang Jianfei released the "Happy Ghosts" at the beginning of the year, is the work of Gao Zhisen who plagiarized.
Now the real owner has come to the door and is still holding a script to be a director.
Seeing Kang Jianfei talking about the serious matter, the projectionist stopped the movie and ran to turn on the lights in the room. Chen Xunqi and Chen Mingsheng also looked at the script in Kang Jianfei's hand.
Kang Jianfei opened the script, and the six big words "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" were eye-catching.
Before Kang Jianfei could read the script, Gao Zhisen couldn't wait to say: Mr. Kang, I have loved this movie very much since I watched "Happy Ghost".Later, many people followed the trend and made comedy movies, and I think they didn't grasp the key points.The success of "Happy Ghost" is not in the ghost movie, but in the campus comedy."Happy Ghost" has been released almost a year, and DreamWorks has not made a similar sequel to the movie. I think it's a pity, so I wrote the script for the sequel to "Happy Ghost" without permission...
Kang Jianfei opened the main text of the script and said: Let’s continue.
When Gao Zhisen saw Kang Jianfei listening carefully, he said happily: "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" tells the story of the happy ghost Zhu Xiucai in the first part, and his name is Kang Xingui.Kang Xingui has had special abilities since he was a child, and he often troubled him. Later, Kang Xingui entered the girls' school and became a teacher...
The plot of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" written by Gao Zhisen is similar to the one in Kang Jianfei's memory, and only in some places are different.
After listening, he asked directly: Gao Zhisen, right?If I asked you to be the director of this movie, how much budget would you have to use?
Kang Jianfei's words already revealed the meaning of letting Gao Zhisen be the director.While Gao Zhisen was ecstatic, he felt a little worried, because when Kang Jianfei filmed "Happy Ghost", the cost was less than 500,000.
The investment of less than 500,000 yuan alone ended up with a local box office of over 10 million. In addition, the box office in Southeast Asia, Japan and Taiwan, the return on investment of this movie is close to 40 times.
This matter is almost everyone in the Hong Kong film industry, and it is regarded as the goal of striving and pursuing by countless film companies that specialize in filming and small productions.
But Gao Zhisen couldn't guarantee that he could exchange hundreds of thousands of dollars for a profit of dozens of times. He hesitated for a moment and tried his best to suppress the cost and said: I need a budget of 600,000.
Kang Jianfei said: I will give you a budget of 800,000 yuan. The crew has ready-made ones. Chen Mingsheng will serve as an assistant director and art director for you.What do you think?
Let me be a director?Kang... Is what Mr. Kang said true?
Gao Zhisen felt that it was because of his ear problems. According to his ideas, it would be good to be able to join the director team this time. Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei directly asked him to be the director.
Not only Gao Zhisen, but also Pan Yingzi, who came with Gao Zhisen, was surprised. I don’t know why Kang Jianfei made the decision so hasty.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: You heard it right, your script is well written, I believe you have put your heart into this drama.Chen Mingsheng came from Taiwan and was traveling around the world in his teens and was knowledgeable.When filming, you should listen to his opinions more and make some novel jokes. Don’t always play in my first movie "Happy Ghost".I have just a few moves to change the sports meet to swimming competitions or volleyball competitions. Is this fun?The audience will say you are insincere.
Gao Zhisen said ashamed: Mr. Kang, I will carefully modify the funny plot.Don't worry, I will discuss with that Chen...Mr. Chen during the shooting.
Kang Jianfei pointed to Chen Mingsheng next to him and said to Gao Zhisen: He is Chen Mingsheng, the number one art director of our Oriental Dream Factory.
Gao Zhisen quickly held Chen Mingsheng with both hands and said: Hello, Mr. Chen.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Xunqi again and said: This is Mr. Chen Xunqi. I should ask him more about the soundtrack of the film. In addition, I will personally write a few interludes for you.
That's great.When Gao Zhisen heard Kang Jianfei say he wanted to help write a song, he hurriedly thanked him and said a good word to Chen Xunqi.
Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi: I probably don’t have time during this period, so you can make the producer of this drama.
Pan Yingzi nodded and said: OK, when will your "Senior Sister Royal" be released?
It will be released on Christmas Eve on the 24th, and a premiere will be held on the 21st.You don’t need to worry about this, he will arrange it.Kang Jianfei said.
"The Royal Sister" has not even finished the later episode, so Kang Jianfei directly mentioned the release date of the movie, which made Gao Zhisen's eyes straight.
If it were other young directors, let alone not finishing the finals, even if they were holding a full film, they would probably not be released.
Gao Zhisen knew very well about Kang Jianfei's deeds and knew that Kang Jianfei also looked for cinemas everywhere with the sample films of "Happy Ghost", and was even insulted by Jiahe people.
Now, in just one year, Kang Jianfei's movie can be set for a release date before the production is completed.
Idol Ah!
Gao Zhisen looked at Kang Jianfei admiringly, thinking that his new boss was too strong. He whispered: Mr. Kang, if you have important things to do, then I will be there now.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: OK, after you go back, first discuss the preparations for this movie with Vice President Pan.
Pan Yingzi said: Then we will leave first.
Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said: Goodbye!
After Pan Yingzi and Gao Zhisen left, Chen Xun asked: This kid was just a TV screenwriter before, can he be a director?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: You have never been a director before, and you have filmed "The Wrong Car".
Chen Xunqi said: I am different. I was on the set at the age of 15, and I have been with you in the director team of "Mr. Zombies".
Kang Jianfei said: You and Mingsheng will hold the fire for him.
Chen Mingsheng smiled and said: I have no experience in being a director.
……
Just when Kang Jianfei was doing the late stage for "The Royal Sister", New Art City's "Chasing Girls" was released in 12 theaters under the Golden Princess Theater.
The heroine of this movie was replaced by Cherie Chung, which was recommended by Eric Tsang.
As for the original heroine Liu Lanxi in another time and space, she is still singing and making movies in Taiwan at this time, and it will take two or three months to come to Hong Kong to develop.
The second female lead Zhang Tianai has not changed. This woman has been back from abroad for a year and is very popular, attracting a lot of viewers for "Chasing Girls".
At the beginning of the movie's release, the box office was average, but in less than a week, some theaters were full.
Whether it was the three bosses of New Art City or Lei Juekun, they were very excited after hearing this news, and quickly added two theaters to "Chasing Girls".
As mentioned before, Hong Kong films are entering a mature stage at this time, which is a transitional period, and many films carry the disadvantages of old movies.
But this "Chasing Girl" is already a relatively mature work in terms of shooting techniques and plot lines.
Even in the 1990s and 21st century, Wang Jing and Wang were still making money by making money by filming the "Hardcover Chasing Girls" series.
In less than a week, the box office of "Chasing Girls" in New Art City exceeded 3 million, and the cumulative box office in half a month reached more than 5.8 million.
Lei Juekun, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and others were extremely excited. This is the highest-grossing movie among the movies released in the theaters of Princess Jin this year, except for "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombies".
Until December 20, the cumulative box office of "Chasing Girls" had reached 7.7 million, and the second-level theaters began to be screened in the second round.
Based on the current situation, the final box office of "Chasing Girls" in Hong Kong is likely to be around 9 million.
The movie "Chasing Girls" has brought the male protagonist Shi Tian to a higher level. The heroine Chu Hong has become a little famous in "Three Minutes Hero". This time, she is as famous as Eric Tsang, and the movie pay has reached 100,000.
As for the production company of "Chasing Girls", New Art City, and its director Mai Jia, they also showed off.
In another time and space, Tsang Zhiwei started to help Shaw Brothers in the Liu Family Class; after Sammo Hung’s Hong Family Class was established, he immediately changed jobs to join the Hong Family Class to help Jiahe.
