Peninsula Hotel Tea Restaurant.
Kang Jianfei crossed his legs and looked at the newspaper, while Yu In-tai drank tea from time to time and looked at the door of the tea restaurant.
Last year, Kang Jianfei said he wanted to meet Zhang Guozhong, but he was busy and had no time. Until now, "The Legend of Dao Ma Dan" is about to be released, and others are busy with promotional and film work, so Kang Jianfei finally got leisurely.
Yu In-tae has been a screenwriter in the production department of DreamWorks these days. The scripts of "The Dao Ma Dan" and "Mr. Zombie 2" were actually completed with the help of Yu In-tae, which saved Kang Jianfei a lot of time.
In addition, Yu In-tae has not much to do at DreamWorks. He has changed the script of "The Horse of the City" more than ten times.
Yesterday he took the script and found Kang Jianfei again. Kang Jianfei agreed and told him to find a more powerful and handsome actor himself to be the protagonist.
While waiting for Zhang Guozhong, Yu In-tae has been thinking about who should play the male lead.
The first choice in his mind is Chow Yun-fat, but unfortunately, Chow Yun-fat is a member of the Wireless Channel, so he most likely cannot be invited.
Kang Jianfei suddenly said: Atai, Chow Yun-fat officially signed a five-year contract with TVB in the fall of 1976, and the contract expires in more than two months.As far as I know, he wants to enter the big screen now and has been hesitating to not renew his contract with TVB.
Yu In-tai was stunned and asked: Mr. Kang wants to sign Chow Yun-fat?
If Zhang Guozhong is willing to join DreamWorks, you two will do the job of digging Chow Yun-fat. I will let Zhang Guozhong be Chow Yun-fat's agent.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "By the way, Ng Mengda and Chow Yun-fat are good friends, let him accompany you."
In the parallel space, there is a movie that is very famous in the history of Hong Kong films called "The Story of Hu Yue", which directly made Cherie Chung famous and also made Chow Yun-fat successfully transform from a TV star to a movie star.
This movie should have been released more than three months ago, but due to the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, the production company of "Hu Yue's Story" was discontinued last year. Producer Li Shaoxia went back to the old business to sell clothes. Producer Teddy Robin had already gone to the New Art City.
All of this made the film's director Xu Anhua hit a wall everywhere with the script written by Zhang Jianting, and no one was willing to invest in this art film that would probably fail.
In other words, Chow Yun-fat is just a TV star now and has only made some small-scale movies.Except for TVB, if Kang Jianfei wants to sign Chow Yun-fat, no one will compete with him.
Although Yu In-tai is a little strange about Kang Jianfei paying attention to Zhang Guozhong, the script he wrote can be made into a movie. He is now in excitement and has not thought about it or asked more.
Kang Jianfei continued to look at the newspaper. He was holding a copy of Wenhui Po in his hand. The front page headlines were news of the sharp drop in Hong Kong's property market, and the second page was news that the mainland martial arts troupe was coming to Hong Kong to exchange Kung Fu. Jet Li's name was listed.
Kang Jianfei was thinking about whether he wanted to recruit Jet Li, but Yu In-tai suddenly said: Zhang Guozhong is here.
Zhang Guozhong, wearing glasses and a suit, came over and said quickly when he met: Sorry, the real estate market and stock markets fell sharply these days, and I was very busy in foreign companies, so I was late.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It doesn’t matter, just sit down.
After Zhang Guozhong ordered a cup of silk stockings and milk tea, he couldn't help but look at Kang Jian and fly over.
He has been famous for Kang Jianfei for a long time. He started from scratch and became a billionaire before he was 20 years old. In Hong Kong, which advocates wealth, he is definitely an idol-level existence that the working class admires.
Yu In-tae took advantage of the topic and said: Ah Zhong, if you are too busy with foreign affairs, just don’t do it.
Zhang Guozhong smiled and said: How can I eat if I don’t do anything?
Yu In-tai glanced at Kang Jianfei and said: Mr. Kang wants to invite you to work at DreamWorks.
Zhang Guozhong said in surprise: Please?I have been working at Zhucheng Pictures for a few months, and I can't play with the film company.
Yu In-tai said: Mr. Kang wants to invite you to join the artist department of DreamWorks as an agent.
Zhang Guozhong looked at Kang Jianfei and asked suspiciously: Mr. Kang, aren’t you kidding me?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Of course he is serious, and now there is a task to you.Chow Yun-fat’s contract on TVB is about to expire, so you are responsible for signing him and then you become his agent.
The reason Kang Jianfei summoned Zhang Guozhong was because there was no good agent in the Artist Department of DreamWorks. Pan Yingzi was busy with other affairs of the company and was unable to work as an agent.
In addition to Zhang Guozhong, Kang Jianfei finally threw him into the artists department with Chen Bingkun's big mouth.
This guy is a scene record in "The Dao Ma Dan". He is too clever and has some minor problems. Kang Jianfei doesn't want to leave him in the production department.
As for Zhang Guozhong, this person has served as the agent of celebrities such as Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Wen Bixia, Alan Tam, Shawn Yue and other stars in parallel space, and he definitely has the talent to be an agent.
Zhang Guozhong was naturally moved by the young rich man's recruitment. Moreover, he likes to do things in the entertainment industry, and the work of foreign companies is too boring.
After considering it briefly, Zhang Guozhong said: It is a great honor that Mr. Kang can look down on me, but I need to discuss this with the boss first, and she still takes good care of me.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: It's OK.
After getting Zhang Guozhong done, everyone started to chat casually after finishing the business. The topic is naturally the real estate and stock market that everyone talked about the most recently.
Yu In-tai said: The property prices have dropped so much these days, so it’s almost time to stop.If the decline continues, real estate developers will have to jump off the building collectively.
Zhang Guozhong shook his head and said: It’s still early to get the housing price.Some time ago, many people speculated on real estate, but the housing prices were raised too high, which was so inflated that they were scary. It would be strange if they didn’t collapse.
Yu In-tai said: It’s not considered a collapse, it’s just a drop in property prices.
Zhang Guozhong smiled and said: I work in a foreign company and I know some things very well.Although the property price has fallen by nearly one-fifth at once, it has definitely not fallen to the bottom yet. Don’t buy a house in the past two years.
Kang Jianfei listened to the conversation between them, but was thinking in his heart: Hong Kong's real estate market plummeted in the 1980s, it seemed that it was caused by Sino-British negotiations.
Now that both sides have not officially started negotiations, why is the real estate market starting to collapse?
In other words, Hong Kong property prices have never fallen to the end, and the real estate market collapse has not yet begun, so it will have to wait until China and the UK start negotiations.
Kang Jianfei suddenly realized and made a decision to wait until the property price fell to the end, and then he took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Kang Jianfei doesn’t understand what financial stocks are, but he can buy land and houses at the bottom. He can still do it after two years.
How did Li Chaoren become rich?
It wasn’t that taking advantage of the Cultural Revolution in Hong Kong that caused social turmoil and land prices to plummet, and then used all their money to buy land and buy houses. After two or three years, the wealth of the company doubled several times.
After drinking afternoon tea, I returned to the company. As soon as I entered the office, my secretary Chen Shuli came in with an invitation and said: Mr. Kang, this is the invitation from the Chinese martial arts exchange group transferred by Wenhui Daily.
Kang Jianfei asked: What's the situation?
Chen Shuli said: On August 1, the Chinese Martial Arts Exchange Group will perform martial arts on the Li stage. At that time, many Hong Kong social elites, including the Governor of Hong Kong, will go to watch it.
Kang Jianfei smiled self-deprecatingly: It seems that I have become an elite.
Chen Shuli asked: I heard that the Chinese martial arts exchange group will come to Hong Kong in late July, and it will be the premiere of "The Sword and Ma Dan". Do you need to invite them?
Kang Jianfei was afraid that inviting these people to attend the premiere would arouse dissatisfaction from the Taiwan authorities.But thinking about the fact that there is Jet Li in it, he didn't care about what the Taiwan authorities were thinking and nodded: Please.
……
Zhao Yazhi walked into the cafe elegantly wearing a pink silk shirt and a pair of high heels. The long wavy hair on the shawl was swaying around as she walked, which immediately attracted countless male customers in the cafe.
Xu Anhua stood up and shook hands with Zhao Yazhi and said: Azhi, this time he took the liberty to invite you out for coffee, and it would also take your time to film. I am really sorry.
Zhao Yazhi smiled and said: Sister Anhua treats her, I will come out no matter what.
The two of them reminisced about the past and talked for more than ten minutes without nutrition. Xu Anhua gradually got to the point and asked: Azhi, are you friends with Mr. Kang?
Zhao Yazhi and Kang Jianfei are good friends, and this is no longer a secret in the circle. Kang Jianfei drove to visit the set to pick up Zhao Yazhi from get off work, and the incident of Kang Jianfei gradually spread in the circle.
Even Brigitte Lin and Lin Zhilin Guan heard about it. Brigitte Lin didn't ask much, but Lin Zhilin Guan got angry. Kang Jianfei coaxed for a while before comforting him.
When Zhao Yazhi mentioned Kang Jianfei, she smiled sweetly and said: You can be considered a friend you can talk to.
Xu Anhua was waiting for this sentence. She said: I have a script in my hand. I want Mr. Kang to read it myself, but I don’t have the chance to meet him.
Zhao Yazhi immediately understood what Xu Anhua meant, obviously she wanted Kang Jianfei to invest in the movie.
The two of them had some friendship before, and it was really hard to refuse. She could only say: I can ask him out for a meal, but if Ah Fei agrees or not, I can't guarantee it.
Of course, no one can tell the investment matters, as long as Mr. Kang can read my script carefully.Xu Anhua smiled.
Xu Anhua's previous movie "Crazy Job" was invested by Bigao Film Company by Liang Shuyi and Sylvia Chang. Unfortunately, Bigao Company has long been dissolved.
Xu Anhua took the script of "Hu Yue's Story" and first went to Xinyi City to find his old friend Zhang Aijia. Zhang Aijia liked it very much after reading the script and strongly recommended it to Maijia and others.
But how could Mai Jia agree to make such an art film?
He refused directly.
Xu Anhua had to think of other ways because she had been on TVB before, so she took the script to find Fang Yihua.
Shaw Brothers is reducing the production volume now, and will not invest in such art films, and he politely declined.
In the past few months, Xu Anhua ran all over his legs and didn't even get a penny of investment. He had no choice but to ask Zhao Yazhi to help contact Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei crossed his legs and looked at the newspaper, while Yu In-tai drank tea from time to time and looked at the door of the tea restaurant.
