9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
In order to save costs, the indoor scenes of "Dao Ma Dan" are basically shot in Hong Kong or shot in real scenes.

However, in the last climax scene, the crew had to move to Taipei due to the large-scale streets and tiled houses in the Minchu streets and tiled houses.

Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio can make such a scene, but Run Run Shaw has issued an order that Shaw Brothers studio will not be rented to the film crew released in Princess Golden Theater.

Since Pan Yingzi has other work, the contact work of the crew of "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan is led by two native Taiwanese, Yu Kanping and Chen Mingsheng.

In fact, Yu Kanping and Chen Mingsheng's work was very easy. They called Ma Yunsheng, general manager of China Film Culture City, and the other party enthusiastically ordered his subordinates to help contact the extras.

There was about a day of work in Taiwan. Before a single shot was taken, Ma Yunsheng invited Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin to have a meal.

Time is not too tight when filming movies on other people's places, so Kang Jianfei naturally had to agree.

The dinner was set up at the Hilton Hotel in Taipei. When Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin arrived, they found that in addition to Jack Ma, there was another man and two women.

Obviously, today's dinner, Jack Ma was just an intermediary, and the real master was among the other three.

Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin had just entered the private room, and everyone stood up at the dining table.

As the nominal host of the banquet, Ma Yunsheng came enthusiastically to shake hands with Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin and said: Mr. Kang, Miss Lin, you two can go to the Cultural City to film this time, which is really a brilliant future.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: China Film Culture City is not a Pengli, and we will rely more on Manager Ma’s help in the future.

Jack Ma hit the snake and put on a stick, laughed and said: You're welcome, you're so kind. If you have any problems in Taipei in the future, just look for your brother.

As the three walked towards the banquet, Brigitte Lin whispered: Ah Fei, that man is Zhang Yongxiang, the number one screenwriter in Taiwan.In the past decade, more than 70% of the most popular movies in Taiwan have been scripts written by him.

Ma Yunsheng loudly introduced: Zhang Yongxiang and Miss Lin are probably old acquaintances, so I will introduce them to Mr. Kang.This is Mr. Zhang Yongxiang, a gold medal screenwriter in Taiwan. He wrote films such as "A Boat in the Ocean" and "Small Town Story". Mr. Zhang is also the general manager of Yongsheng Film Company.

Zhang Yongxiang is over 50 years old, and his black hair is mixed with a lot of white silk. He held Kang Jianfei's hand and smiled: Mr. Kang, I have long been famous. Your "The Wrong Car" is very good.

Kang Jianfei said: I am just a screenwriter. That drama was directed by Chen Xunqi and Yu Kanping.

Zhang Yongxiang smiled and said: I am talking about the script, because I am also a screenwriter.

Ma Yunsheng interrupted at the right time: It seems that the two are heroes, heroes, Ah, and I will have a drink tonight for this!

Brigitte Lin said in surprise: It turns out that Uncle Xiang has become the general manager of Yongsheng Film, which is really gratifying.

Any congratulations? Just to get the duck on the shelves.

Zhang Yongxiang smiled bitterly. He was a screenwriter for the rest of his life and was hired as general manager when he was old.

Although Yongsheng Pictures is a medium-sized film company in Taiwan, its operating conditions in the past two years are very bad, and Zhang Yongxiang takes over almost a mess.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yongxiang said: To be honest, the main purpose of inviteing you two today is because Yongsheng Film is preparing to open a new drama and wants to invite Ms. Lin to star in it.

Although Zhang Yongxiang is a gold medal screenwriter, his most popular dramas are starring Lin Fengjiao, and he is not very familiar with Brigitte Lin, so he asked Jack Ma to be an intermediary.

Before Brigitte Lin could speak, Kang Jianfei asked: Miss Jiang and Miss Ying are also starring in this movie?

Zhang Yongxiang nodded and said: If Miss Lin agrees to be the heroine, Gui Yalei will also agree to star in it, and Tang Lanhua and Sun Yue will also star in this movie.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: It seems that Manager Zhang is a new official and wants to make a big investment.The pay of the major actors alone is at least NT$8 million.

Zhang Yongxiang explained: This is a military education film. The Ministry of National Defense will fund 5 million, so there is no need to consider too much.The main thing is that Ms. Lin has signed a contract with DreamWorks and hopes that Mr. Kang can release him.

Kang Jianfei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what a military education film was. How could he miss such a good opportunity to please the Taiwan authorities, and immediately laughed: Since it is a military education film, DreamWorks must support it.Qingxia's salary is 1 million, and the insufficient DreamWorks will compensate her.

Zhang Yongxiang said happily: That’s great, thank you Mr. Kang for his support for the national defense cause.

Kang Jianfei had already had a relationship with Taiwan's gangs before, and now Zhang Yongxiang took the initiative to invite him to dinner, which was a good opportunity to take advantage of the political circle.

This is why Zhang Yongxiang can get the right to shoot films funded by the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense, which obviously has an extremely solid backstage.

In the future, Kang Jianfei will have to deal with the mainland. Maybe one day the Taiwan authorities will ban his movies and get to know more people, and there will be room for maneuver.

After Zhang Yongxiang invited Brigitte Lin, he immediately proposed to establish a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks.

As long as DreamWorks films in Taiwan in the future, Yongsheng Film will be responsible for providing equipment and crew talents, and of course it will also charge a certain amount of remuneration and rental fees.

When Kang Jianfei chatted with him, he had already learned that Yongsheng Pictures is a medium-sized film company, and it would be good to establish a cooperative relationship. It would be easier to film in Taiwan in the future.

Moreover, Taiwanese movies can't be surviving for a few years. Maybe we can take the opportunity to eat up this company in the future and exist as a Taiwanese branch of DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei was thinking about Xiaojiujiu in his heart, and Zhang Yongxiang also had his own little plan.

He has seen that art films are not going to work in Taiwan, and DreamWorks' film department is selling well, so he plans to invest in some commercial films by cooperating with DreamWorks.

After eating for half an hour, Kang Jianfei looked at his watch and said: It was already 7:30, and I still have to rush back to the crew to shoot night scenes, so I will say goodbye first.

Zhang Yongxiang smiled and said: Filming is important, I will send you two down.

Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said: No, Qingxia and I can just take a taxi back.

Both of them were polite, and finally Zhang Yongxiang took Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin into the taxi before giving up.

After they left, Ma Yunsheng stopped the smirk on his face and said to Zhang Yongxiang: Uncle, this person with the surname Kang is still a sensible person.DreamWorks has many stars, and the stunt team is also very powerful. In the future, Yongsheng Pictures will be much more convenient to make commercial films.

Zhang Yongxiang said with a funny look: Of course he is a sensible person, otherwise he would have earned billions of dollars in just over a year?

Ma Yunsheng sighed: More than 100 million Hong Kong dollars Ah, if it is more than 500 million Taiwan dollars, I, the manager of China Film Culture City, will never make that much money in my life.It’s still a way to make money by making movies, and being a cinema manager is useless.

"Hitting the Wrong Car" was released in Taiwan for five months and was just released not long ago.

Due to proper operation and the decline of Taiwanese films, Hong Kong's fierce films did not enter on a large scale, with a terrifying box office of more than NT$52 million, nearly three times the box office of the "Wrong Car" in the parallel space, and it also became the first movie in Taiwan's film history to have a box office of over NT$50 million.

When this movie was first released, all walks of life in Taiwan were hotly discussed, and as soon as the final box office of "Hooking the Wrong Car" came out, it once again shocked the Taiwanese film industry.

The starring Li Saifeng, Sun Yue and Dong Wei are already popular among the people, and the name of Oriental Dream Factory has become well-known in the Taiwanese film industry.

The Mandarin dialogue of "The Royal Sister" has been done, but Taiwanese theater businessmen forced themselves to hold back and did not release it immediately, and are preparing to wait for another two months to reach the summer season.

In the eyes of Taiwanese theater businessmen, if the movies directed by Kang Jianfei are not scheduled to be released in a good schedule, it is simply a shameful waste.

In the taxi, Brigitte Lin's little hand was held by Kang Jianfei. She leaned against Kang Jianfei's shoulder and said: A Fei, when I got home two days ago, my parents urged me to get married.

Cough cough, Kang Jianfei coughed and said, I'd better go see my uncle and aunt one day before talking about it.

Brigitte Lin felt embarrassed when she said what she just now. She actually hinted at her desire to get married.

Kang Jianfei's current refusal made Brigitte Lin feel very disappointed, and she was wondering whether Kang Jianfei thought she was too old, after all, they were several years apart.

Kang Jianfei found that Brigitte Lin didn't speak for a long time and joked: Are you angry?If you are in a hurry to get married, you have to let me meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law Ah first.

Brigitte Lin was both ashamed and happy by his words. She raised her small fist and smashed Kang Jianfei twice before she said annoyed: Who said she was going to marry you? She was self-indulgent.
