Chapter 416 Before opening the line

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Jackie Chan's residence at this time was on the side of Union Road in Kowloon Tong, not far from the villa where Kang Jianfei placed Wen Bixia and others, and they were considered neighbors.

Chen Ziqiang drove his Toyota into Jackie Chan's villa, which was as convenient as returning to his own home. He walked to the living room and sat directly on the sofa, saying: Ah Long, Mr. Zou has already been decided, and the filming location of "Fast Food Truck" is chosen in Spain.

Jackie Chan took out an invitation from Oriental Cinema from the TV cabinet and asked: Aqiang, do you think I should go?

Kang Jianfei’s invitation?Chen Ziqiang also found it difficult to deal with, frowned and said, "Go, after all, you just collaborated with him on a movie "Deadly Express", so you still have to give me this little face."

I'm afraid Mr. Zou will think more.Although Jackie Chan often speaks without his brain, he is still very stable in doing things, so he has to discuss it with his agent Chen Ziqiang.

Although Jiahe and DreamWorks compete, that is a matter between Mr. Zou and Kang Jianfei. Moreover, the two companies have just cooperated. It is not a taboo to participate in the filming of Oriental Cinemas. Chen Ziqiang helped Jackie Chan analyze that Kang Jianfei now has a theater company that belongs entirely to him, and has completely gained a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry. In terms of influence and strength, he even surpassed Mr. Zou. What he lacks is only qualifications.If you have a good relationship with Kang Jianfei, it is easier not to say that it is better to cooperate in filming. If you have any unhappiness with Jiahe one day, it can be considered as leaving a way out for yourself...

Chen Ziqiang didn't finish his words, but Jackie Chan already understood.

And it's not just what Chen Ziqiang said. The more harmonious Jackie Chan and Kang Jianfei's relationship is, the more Zou Wenhuai will use him, so as not to neglect Jackie Chan and Kang Jianfei will take the opportunity to poach him.

Chen Ziqiang took a sip of Coke and continued: By the way, when I came, Mr. He talked to me and asked me to arrange your schedule. It seems that you have at least three major casts to shoot this year.

Three parts?What two other movies are there besides "Fast Food Truck"?Jackie Chan asked curiously.

One is a sequel to "Sky" and the other is probably also a Western film. Chen Ziqiang said funny, "It is probably Mr. Zou was stimulated by Kang Jianfei's box office, and he started to spend money to Hollywood to shoot Western films."

It's "Sky Speed" again!Jackie Chan was upset when he heard this and complained, "Would I be playing supporting roles in Hollywood again?"

Although the drama "Sky" won more than 70 million US dollars in North America and ranked among the top ten in the North American annual box office list that year, Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen were both supporting roles.

Not only did they delay their schedule, but the film was not effective after it was released, and Western audiences had no special impression of them at all.

Chen Ziqiang smiled and said: From what Mr. He means, your role this time should be more serious.

That's fine, I just don't know if I can sell it.

Jackie Chan was looking forward and worried that he was scared by the "Killer Trench" back then, but at the same time he was extremely looking forward to the success of "Sky Speed ​​2" and that he could make a name for himself in the West like Bruce Lee.

Chen Ziqiang said: The first part of "Sky" has already set its mark in Europe and the United States. No matter how bad the sequel is filmed, it will definitely sell better than "The Killer Trench".

When Jackie Chan heard this, he felt much more at ease and said: Jiahe is preparing to release in the summer season. What movie will DreamWorks focus on this summer season?

The male lead of Kang Jianfei's new film is Stephen Chow, and the female lead is the newcomer with a big wave. Chen Ziqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't understand what Kang Jianfei is thinking, and I can't say that when his new film is released, many people will be shocked."

……

Run Run Shaw also received an invitation from Oriental Cinema. This time it was not Kang Jianfei who was disgusting, but had a deeper meaning.

Shaw Brothers Cinemas have been calling for sale for half a year, but now more than a dozen major theaters are still in the hands of Run Run Shaw. Kang Jianfei really wants to take the opportunity to talk to Run Shaw about the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

Putting aside the four leading theaters in Shaw Brothers Cinema, there are three theaters with very good locations. Kang Jianfei doesn’t have the chance to buy a house and rent a new theater in those places, so he can only make plans for the ready-made theater from Run Run Shaw.

Since Kang Jianfei poached Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu, Fang Yihua has already hated Kang Jianfei deeply. She said: Sixth brother, don’t pay attention to him, then Kang Jianfei is a successful villain.

It would be nice to let Jiaxi go and see it on my behalf.Run Run Shaw was not angry when he spoke, or he had completely given up on Shaw Film Company.

"The Goro Gossip Stick" in Shaw Brothers' Spring Festival deliberately avoided the release of several other movies, but the box office of the local city was only 3.79 million, which was not as good as the box office of "Best Partner 3" for two days.

As for the "Customed Gods" which followed closely, the box office was only 2.93 million, and it was forced to be painted after a week of screening.

Run Run Shaw was too lazy to think about Shaw Pictures’ worries and asked Fang Yihua: Ahua, did you buy that camcorder?

It is a two-in-one Betacam camera, Fang Yihua remembers it very clearly. It will arrive in two days. I will check it out myself.

Run Run Shaw sighed: This kind of camcorder is a powerful TV weapon, but unfortunately we walked behind the Fenghuáng station again.

Fang Yihua did not admit defeat to Feng Huáng Taiwan and defended: Feng Huáng Taiwan has only been three months.

What is the biggest expense of filming TV series nowadays?

One is artificial, the second is film, and the third is set and props.

A plate of film is several thousand. If you shoot a TV series a few more times one day, the cost of shooting the series will rise sharply.

Betacam cam is the latest product that Japan Sony has successfully researched last year and was officially launched last year. It uses videotapes instead of film, which allows TV stations to produce programs to be filmed repeatedly without worrying about wasting film and burning money due to NG.

Not only to produce TV series, but it is also very convenient for TV stations to record news. The big guy that the news camera reporters used to carry was the Betacam camera.

In addition to the slightly poor image quality, its recording function is far stronger than previous film cameras. Until the invention of digital cameras decades later, the Betacam camera still did not completely withdraw from the market.

Sony only launched the Betacam camera last year less than two months after it launched, and Fenghuáng and DreamWorks purchased three units each, becoming the only two units in Hong Kong to use this machine.

Although it cost a lot of money to buy a machine, the benefits it brings are obvious to all. Not only does it greatly reduce the cost of film, but it also greatly facilitates the recording of TV variety shows and news programs.

Wireless TVB originally wanted to see a joke, but thought Feng Huáng TV bought a few flashy machines.

As a result, not long after, Fang Yihua discovered that the Betacam camera was a revolutionary weapon, and quickly arranged for someone to go to Japan to purchase it.

In the past, if you make mistakes in filming TV series, as long as it is not a big problem, it is basically just right. Now, with a Betacam camera, as long as the shooting time allows, you can strive for excellence like shooting a movie.

Fang Yihua did not worry about the issue of Betacam camera, but turned to the topic: Brother Six, I heard the news that Feng Huáng Taiwan will hold a beauty pageant this year and is already preparing for it after the Spring Festival.

Beauty pageant!?Run Run Shaw, who was calm just now, suddenly straightened up, and a sharp look appeared in his turbid old eyes.

The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is extremely important in Run Run Shaw's mind, no less than Shaw Pictures and TVB. They are both things that Run Shaw is proud of.

Even Run Run Shaw, who is 100 years old, insists on participating in the Miss Hong Kong final every year. It is conceivable how important he attaches great importance to this.

Kang Jianfei initially founded DreamWorks to compete for box office with Shaw Brothers, and then acquired Lisboa and TVB to compete for ratings. Now he still wants to hold a beauty pageant, which is simply unable to compete with Run Run Shaw everywhere.

Fang Yihua said: I don’t know the specific details, but Feng Huáng Taiwan has indeed started planning, and I’m afraid it will start publicity next month.

Beauty pageants are not that easy to handle!

Run Run Shaw said in a deep voice, "Take this year's Hong Kong Miss beauty pageant plan and let people stare at Feng Huáng Taiwan and be prepared to deal with the moves. Who knows what tricks Kang Jianfei will do?"

I have made arrangements. Even if Kang Jianfei is a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he will not be able to hold a new beauty pageant, and he wants to steal the limelight from Miss Hong Kong.Fang Yihua said confidently.

Fang Yihua's confidence is well-founded. The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been held for more than ten years and has long evolved from a simple beauty pageant to Hong Kong's city business card and annual ratings feast. How could a newly-organized beauty pageant be stolen by a new beauty pageant?

Run Run Shaw stroked the crutch and said slowly: It’s better to be careful.
