He brought his royal photography team and lighting team to the United States with Kang Jianfei, including Zhong Zhiwen and Wu Chenggang.

Although Kang Jianfei only produced one film "The Legend of Qin" in the past few months, he was not idle the rest of the time, so he asked Zeng Bolin, who was in charge of American distribution, to register a film company, called Oriental Film Company.

This company has no office location and no employees, and it belongs to a bag company.

Kang Jianfei came to the United States to make a movie this time, and the producer was Oriental Film Company.

The reason for doing this is that if you make movies in the United States, the producers will have less unnecessary trouble if they are local American companies.

Kang Jianfei brought the photography and lighting team to the United States, one is that his team is easy to use, and the other is that the salary of Hong Kong employees is cheaper.

Boss, here!Zeng Bolin waved at the airport exit.

Kang Jianfei walked over, nodded at Zeng Bolin, and greeted Tang Shuxuan beside him and said: Thank you for your hard work, Sister Tang!

Anyway, I'm very bored when I stay at home. I just came out to make a movie to pass the time. Tang Shuxuan smiled and said, "The shooting location has been selected for you. It has not started snowing in New York this year, so I chose the shooting location in Western Massachusetts."

Thanks.Kang Jianfei shook hands with Tang Shuxuan and said, "The casting work is okay, the most important thing is that the child must be eccentric."

Kang Jianfei wants to film "Home Imperial". The movie costs only more than 10 million US dollars, but it ranks among the top 50 Hollywood movie box offices in previous years. It is the most suitable for Kang Jianfei who wants to make money.

And that was more than 10 million US dollars in 1990. If Kang Jianfei made "Home Imperial" a budget of no more than 3 million US dollars.

Tang Shuxuan smiled and said: According to your requirements, I have selected three little boys in total, and you will eventually need to confirm.

Kang Jianfei said: I made an appointment to meet Little Alan Ryder this afternoon. You can notify the three children to come tomorrow. You can choose the location.

While speaking, he had already left the airport. Zeng Bolin attracted several taxis, and Kang Jianfei and Tang Shuxuan were on the same car.

All the information of the selected actors is in it. Tang Shuxuan took out a file bag and said, "I read the script you sent you. It is a good family movie, which is most suitable for release on Christmas."But now it's only more than 30 days before Christmas, so it's too late to turn on the computer now.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: You have done almost the same preparation in the early stage. It is enough for me to make a movie in more than 30 days.What needs to be done now is to convince 20th Century Fox to help release it.

Tang Shuxuan is the kind of female director who strives for excellence and does not agree with Kang Jianfei's approach to making movies.

However, she hadn't filmed for a long time and her hands were itchy. Kang Jianfei asked her to serve as the deputy director of "Home Order", and Tang Shuxuan agreed without thinking much.

Kang Jianfei pulled out a stack of actor information from the file bag, which were filled with second-rate Hollywood actors, and there was not even a familiar star.

But that's good. The young actors' pay is low, and they won't perform negatively just because Kang Jianfei is a Chinese director.

Everyone came to the hotel to stay. Kang Jianfei slept for two hours and caused the jet lag. After lunch, he took Zeng Bolin to 20th Century Fox to meet Alan Ryder.

As the head of 20th Century Fox, it is not something that anyone can see, but Kang Jianfei has barely got the qualification.

Mr. Ryder is meeting guests, please wait for a moment.Alan Ryder's secretary asked, "Do you want tea or coffee?"

casual.Kang Jianfei sat down on the sofa.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the secretary came over and said: Two gentlemen, please come with me.

Kang Jianfei and Zeng Bolin followed the secretary, and after a few steps, they saw two Americans, a man and a woman, walking out of Alan Ryder's office dejectedly.

James Cameron?

How could Kang Jianfei not recognize the famous king of the world?However, Cameron's face was despicable at this moment, but he did not have the domineering aura of the king of the world.

Kang Jianfei passed by James Cameron and soon stepped into Alan Ryder's office.

Compared to the last time, Alan Ryder is older, but he is in great spirits.

Seeing Kang Jian fly in, Little Alan Ryder smiled heartily and said: Kang, long time no see, I often hear news about you.

Oh, Hong Kong news will not spread to the United States.Kang Jianfei smiled.

Alan Ryder Jr. said: It is news from Southeast Asia that the box office of "The True Hero" defeated all the films of the same period, including two 20th Century Fox films.

After listening to Zeng Bolin's translation, Kang Jianfei shrugged: If this is considered a compliment, I am honored.

Alan Ryder, a little smiled and said: Of course it is a compliment, and I found that "Wudang: Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is good, and you can try to release it in a small scale in the United States.

Kang Jianfei asked: Isn’t it better to release “The True Color of Heroes”?

Alan Ryder, Jr., shook his head and said: I am not optimistic about the box office of "The True Heroes" in North America.

Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered Cameron who had just gone out and asked casually: Is that Cameron who had just gone out?

Alan Ryder Jr. said: It's him, and Anne Hurd of New World Pictures.

Kang Jianfei asked: Did Cameron come to 20th Century Foxra to invest?

Alan Ryder, little, laughed: A movie where robots travel through time and space, the plot is very boring.

The three words "Terminator" suddenly appeared in Kang Jianfei's head and asked: Did you refuse?

Alan Ryder Jr.: Of course I refused. If it weren't for Anne Hurd, I wouldn't have been lazy to see him.

At this time, James Cameron was just a young director who had made a movie. There were countless such young directors in Hollywood and he was indeed not qualified to meet Alan Ryder.

Alan Ryder, Jr., obviously took a look at it this time, but this is a good thing for Kang Jianfei. If he can invest in the filming of "Terminator"...

The two chatted for a few more times, and Alan Ryder said: Kang, the release plan for "The Royal Sister 2" has basically been confirmed, and it is scheduled for December 15th. I think it will achieve a good box office this time.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Mr. Ryder, in fact, I came here this time to discuss something else.

What's up?Alan Ryder, Jr.

I'm going to make a Christmas movie and hope 20th Century Fox can help release it.Kang Jianfei briefly talks about the plot of "Home Imperial".

This kind of family-friendly movie is not good. It may be a big box office hit or no one cares about it. Alan Ryder frowned and said, Kang, have you brought the film "Home Imperial"?

Kang Jianfei spread his hands and said: In fact, I haven't started this movie yet.

Oh, Shet, Alan Ryder, little, said angrily, are you playing tricks on me?There is another month to be Christmas, so please let me help you release a movie that has not started yet!

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: I promise to finish the shooting within 15 days, and 10 days will be used for the post-production, and the publicity work can be carried out at the same time.

Kang, I think you should go see a psychiatrist.Alan Ryder, Jr., said.

Kang Jianfei said with a serious expression: Mr. Ryder, I am serious.

Alan Ryder, a young man, shrugged: I am serious, too.

Well, goodbye.Kang Jianfei sighed.

Alan Ryder, Jr., said: No gift.

Kang Jianfei left Alan Ryder's office and said to Zeng Bolin: Go find the female secretary and get the contact information of the two people who went out before.

Zeng Bolin didn't understand what Kang Jianfei was going to do, but he still faithfully executed the order.A few minutes later, Zeng Bolin ran back with a note and said: Boss, just get to that woman’s phone number.

Anne Hurd?Kang Jianfei is not familiar with Hollywood. He doesn't know that this woman will become James Cameron's second wife, and he doesn't know that she is the future excellent Hollywood producer.

After going out, Kang Jianfei asked Zeng Bolin to dial Anne Hurd's phone number, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered. It was probably because the other party had not returned home yet.

Kang Jianfei returned to the hotel and made more than ten calls in succession, and someone finally answered the call.Kang Jianfei couldn't speak English, so he asked Zeng Bolin to explain carefully before he asked Anne Hed out.

More than ten minutes later, the two parties made an appointment to meet in a cafe.

Mr. Kang?Anne Hurd asked uncertainly as he looked at the two Asians walking towards her.

Kang Jianfei smiled and shook hands with Anne Hurd and said: Hello, Miss Hurd.

Zeng Bolin immediately translated: Miss Hurd, Kang Jianfei doesn’t know how to speak English, he is saying hello to you.

Anne Hurd looked down on Kang Jianfei more and more and asked: Are you talking on the phone that you want to invest in "Terminator"?

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: Yes, I just met two people outside Alan Ryder's office, so I asked casually and learned about the story of "Terminator" from Ryder.I am personally interested in robot-themed movies, so I have an intention to invest.

Anne Hurd originally had a bad impression of Kang Jianfei. When he learned that Kang Jianfei could chat with Alan Ryder, he immediately took it seriously and asked: Are you very familiar with Mr. Ryder?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: At least he is not unfamiliar with it.

Anne Hurd still doesn't believe Kang Jianfei, an Asian, and said: The budget for this movie is at least more than 6 million US dollars. Is Mr. Kang sure he wants to invest?

Kang Jianfei drank coffee and said: I just said I had an investment intention, and I would like to talk about it after reading the script.

I brought the script.Anne Hurd pulls the script out of the bag.

Kang Jianfei casually flipped through it, and it was not much different from the first part of "Terminator" he remembered. He closed the script and asked: Can I talk to Mr. Cameron?

Just talk to me, Anne Hurd said, I am the producer of this movie.

Kang Jianfei felt something was wrong and asked: Didn’t the script be written by Mr. Cameron?

Anne Hurd nodded and said: Yes, but he has sold me the script.
