Chapter 306 Old Monster Xu’s Thousand Years of Pit

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
The successful release of "Happy Campus" in the new era theater chain will sweep away the haze that has been entrenched in the hearts of DreamWorks employees for several days. In recent days, the company has been filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Tsui Hark smiled at Chen Shuli outside, and then knocked on the door of Kang Jianfei's office.

Please come in.Kang Jianfei's voice came from inside.

Hello, Mr. Kang.Tsui Hark pushed the door and walked into the office, not calling Kang Jianfei the name directly. After all, this is in the company, and the relationship between the two is between the boss and the employee.

Oh, it's Old Xu Ah, Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, your studio is ready?

Just arrange it casually, and then hire a clerk and a errand runner to get it done.Tsui Hark said that his studio belongs to a special department of DreamWorks, next to several administrative departments.

Seeing Tsui Hark holding a notebook in his hand, Kang Jianfei asked: Have you ever had an idea so soon?

Actually, it was an idea that I had always had. Tsui Hark handed the notebook to Kang Jianfei and said, "I like the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the owner of the Zhuzhu Tower very much, and I wanted to make it into a movie for a long time.

"New Shushan Swordsman"?Kang Jianfei took the notebook and saw that he suddenly had a headache. He even began to doubt whether it was correct to call Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark was still saying happily: There is a science fiction blockbuster in Hollywood like "Star Wars". I heard that Shaw is also planning to shoot a "Star Blunt Body".I think Hong Kong directors are not as good as swordsman films as making science fiction films. Western special effects technology combined with Eastern magic weapons and spells, the picture is absolutely shocking.As long as Mr. Kang, you nodded, I will ask someone to write the script immediately.

The idea is good, Kang Jianfei nodded, but how much do you plan to use to film "New Shushan Swordsman"?

Three... Tsui Hark stretched out three fingers, and later turned into two fingers, and 20 million was enough.

That's enough. Kang Jianfei really wanted to kick this guy out. He asked with a smile: Do you think if I invest 20 million to make you film "New Shushan Swordsman" and deduct your studio share and the hospital share, how much money should I lose?

Uh... Tsui Hark was stunned and then smiled and said with apologies, Mr. Kang, I can don’t want the studio’s share, just give me a director’s salary.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Let’s put it this way, how much box office do you think "New Shushan Swordsman" can sell?

Tsui Hark said confidently: This is the first movie that combines Oriental Swordsman and Western special effects. As long as it is shot, it will definitely cause a sensation.I estimate that it can sell at least 20 million in Hong Kong, 50 million in Nanyang, 8 million in Taiwan, and 60 million in Japan and South Korea. This is more than 100 million, and you can definitely make back your investment.

You are very confident.

Kang Jianfei no longer wants to discuss box office with Tsui Hark, who is full of confidence. If he remembers correctly, the box office of "New Shushan Swordsman" in the original time and space will not exceed 2 million in Hong Kong.

The local box office is less than one-tenth of the production cost, which can no longer be described as a failure. It is simply a meteorite pit for thousands of years.

Tsui Hark also realized that Kang Jianfei was not very interested, so he quickly advised: Mr. Kang, look at my planning plan, many of my ideas are written on it.

Kang Jianfei shook his head very resolutely: The budget is too much. I just bought a TV station, but now I don’t have much money in my pocket.If you pay 20 to 30 million to shoot a movie "Shushan" for you, the company will not be able to start other dramas.Once your "Shushan" fails, DreamWorks will be over. I can't put the future of the entire company on your movie.

Tsui Hark seemed to have been poured with cold water on his head. He stood up awkwardly and said: I understand, Mr. Kang, I will shoot a few movies first and cost less.

Kang Jianfei didn't want to hurt his enthusiasm and said: "The New Shushan Swordsman" is not that it cannot be filmed, but that the time has not yet come.Your idea is very good, and high-end movie special effects are also the future development trend. I hope you can wait for another two years.

This comfort is better than nothing, but Tsui Hark is in a much better mood. He nodded at Kang Jianfei, turned around and walked out of the office.

Tsui Hark has left countless classic films, but he has also suffered from bad records and has made many super bad films.

"New Shushan Swordsman", "The Legend of Shushan" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", these three Tsui Hark's special effects movies use the most advanced industrial special effects, computer special effects and 3D special effects at that time.

But in terms of the content of the film, all three movies are undoubtedly bad movies, because the director focused his energy on how to use high-tech and sacrificed the plot and rhythm of the movie.

Tsui Hark is like a driver who drives a broken car. His driving skills are good in normal times, but once you give him a super sports car, this guy will immediately rush around the road.

Of course, there is another situation that Tsui Hark does not have enough funds.If he could squander as infinitely as Cameron, he might also become the king of the world.

Kang Jianfei is not a philanthropist, so he can't take out a lot of money for Tsui Hark to gamble.

So at the beginning of the establishment of Tsui Hark Film Studio, Kang Jianfei set a rule that Tsui Hark could just discuss movies with a budget of less than 3 million.

Once a movie planning project with a budget of more than three million yuan is signed by Kang Jianfei before it can be passed.

If Tsui Hark's production cost exceeds 30% of the budget during the shooting process, the box office share of the movie studio will be cancelled directly.

After sending Tsui Hark, Kang Jianfei called Feng Huáng Taiwan several more times, mainly asking about the news reports. Tomorrow is the official date for Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China.

In addition, "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" will be aired soon in a while, and Kang Jianfei must follow the long-prepared "The Legend of Qin".

Just after several phone calls, Chen Shuli came in and reported: Boss, Mr. Song from Nanyang Cathay Pacific is here.

I got it, Kang Jianfei ordered, call Ma Qiao too.

Kang Jian walked out quickly and soon saw a middle-aged man in the reception room. He immediately laughed and went up to shake hands with him: Mr. Song's arrival made DreamWorks shine brightly.

Mr. Song is named Song Dechao, and he is the nephew of Lu Yuntao, a film tycoon of a generation.

The competition in the Nanyang region is the most fierce in the two theaters, Cathay and Shaw Brothers. The main purpose of Cathay Pacific supporting Zou Wenhuai was to enrich the source of Cathay Pacific theaters.

In the past, when DreamWorks' movies were released in the Nanyang area, Princess Jin had always helped run them in the middle, and later slowly reclaimed the Nanyang distribution rights.

But revoking the issuance right does not mean that DreamWorks really do the issuance itself. After all, there are many countries in Nanyang, and DreamWorks has no external agencies there, so Princess Jin has always helped to operate it.

As soon as Princess Jin and DreamWorks' cooperation was interrupted, DreamWorks' filming plan in Nanyang immediately came to a standstill.

Although the New Era Cinema has solved the problem of DreamWorks' filming in Hong Kong, its distribution in Nanyang has always been an unavoidable hurdle.

Nanyang Cathay Pacific is also very anxious because "The True Heroes" has exceeded 30 million in the box office in Hong Kong. They originally planned to get the Christmas break and show it in the Nanyang area, but Princess Jin and DreamWorks suddenly started to have an internal strife.

For Nanyang Cathay Cinema, as long as DreamWorks can operate normally, it will be Cathay’s best film source warehouse.

Now the struggle between DreamWorks and Princess Jin has finally become clear. Nanyang Cathay Cinema immediately sent someone to contact Kang Jianfei, and sent Lu Yuntao's nephew Sn in law, which shows his importance to DreamWorks.

Song Dechao lives in Singapore all year round and speaks Cantonese smoothly. After shook hands with Kang Jianfei, he smiled and said: "Mr. Kang hasn't yet been congratulated, he has now become a prince of the Hong Kong film industry."

Kang Jianfei said modestly: The princes are not worth mentioning, they are just a good meal, but they are not as deep as the Guotai Cinemas. They will rely on Mr. Song to support them in the future.

Mr. Kang is too modest.Song Dechao said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Ma Qiao also came to the reception room.

Kang Jianfei introduced: Mr. Song, this is Ma Qiao, the operation manager of DreamWorks. You can talk to him about specific cooperation matters.

Hello, Mr. Ma.Song Dechao stood up politely and shook hands with Ma Qiao.

Kang Jianfei chatted with Song Dechao for a while before looking at his watch and said: Mr. Song, I have a little farewell in advance. You can talk to Ma Qiao about cooperation.

Song Dechao nodded and said: Please give me a gift, Mr. Kang.

Kang Jianfei left the company and drove towards the airport.

"Traveling to the Sea of ​​Angry" has been filmed in Hainan for a few days after being filmed in Hong Kong. Today is the day when the crew is back, and Kang Jianfei is about to drive to pick up Chung Chuhong.

If you want to develop your career, you have to fuck girls, otherwise it will be boring to make more money just.

Not long after driving on the road, Kang Jianfei saw an electrical appliance store on the side of the road full of people. He found a place to park the car and squeezed there to watch the fun.

Kang Jianfei was not a person who watched the fun for no reason. He probably guessed what these people were watching, and got off the car just to verify his guess.

Kang Jianfei flew out of the crowd. He was tall and could see what was inside by standing on tiptoe.

I saw that on one side of the store, there were three rows of TVs in a row.All the TVs are on, and all the ones are watching Feng Huáng Chinese Channel.

A beautiful female host on the TV, holding a microphone with the Feng Huáng Taiwan logo in her hand, said: Audience, it is now the news brought back by Feng Huáng Taiwan from the streets of Beijing.You can see behind me that Mrs. Thatcher, the British Prime Minister, is likely to pass through this street. Another major cleaning is underway. The security work will definitely be strengthened tomorrow... It is five o'clock in the afternoon, and in a while it will be the rush hour in Beijing, and you can see the spectacular scene of the bicycle sea.Let's now interview ordinary passers-by in Beijing...

All sectors of Hong Kong are paying great attention to this Sino-British negotiation, and major newspapers are reporting on the matter half a month in advance.

However, the previous reports were either buying news from large news agencies or reviewing history to make comments. Only Feng Huáng Chinese Channel was willing to send a team of reporters to Beijing for personal reports and interviews.

That is Beijing Ah. The building does not look tall, but the road surface is very wide.

There are fewer cars, and mainlanders are too poor to afford cars.

I dressed like a country man, and I never saw the world.

Why didn’t I see the Red Guards holding the Red Book in front of Tiananmen Gate?

Look, a few PLAs have passed over there.

It was a cinema. Mainland people couldn't even eat enough, and they could still watch movies.

Have you forgotten that "Shaolin Temple" was filmed by mainland China?

……

Listening to the discussion after sentence in the store, Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing.

The audience in front of them are obviously passers-by who are attracted by TV programs. Their attention is so obvious that Feng Huáng's program has been a great success.

In fact, the programs played at this time are nothing special. They just take pictures of the streets and citizens of Beijing and introduce the situation.

The program was filmed yesterday, and was then sent back to Hong Kong overnight to edit. It was broadcast on Feng Huáng Chinese and English Channel during the day.

But it was these ordinary street scenes and passers-by that made countless Hong Kong citizens curious, because most of them saw the real Beijing for the first time.

Seeing that more and more people were surrounding him, Kang Jianfei returned to his car with satisfaction and thought in his heart: I don’t know if the wireless station has received any news. Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua’s faces must be bad.
