Chapter 77 Taking the opportunity to hype

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Humph, a spiritual fantasy kung fu movie!What the hell is this kid doing?Zou Wenhuai snorted coldly and threw a copy of the Sing Tao Daily on the table.

There were also He Guanchang and Jackie Chan, the adopted father and son, in the office. Jackie Chan was angry and didn't say anything, but just looked down at the headlines of the newspaper.

To be honest, Jackie Chan is very curious about Kang Jianfei. He has been in the film industry for more than ten years and is very clear about what the box office of "Happy Ghost" that exceeded 10 million yuan means.

As a new director, Kang Jianfei was able to achieve such results in his first film, which can be described as a miracle.

However, Jackie Chan did not regard Kang Jianfei as his opponent, because the two of them were not at the same level at all, even though Kang Jianfei won the Hong Kong box office.

He Guanchang is very clear about Zou Wenhuai's thoughts. Although "Happy Ghost" beats "Junior Brother" in the box office in this port, the different types of a funny ghost film and a funny kung fu film are not very important.

Moreover, Jiahe's distribution ability is not comparable to that of Princess Jin. Jiahe can not only sell "Junior Brother" to Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, but also has certain distribution ability in North America, South America, Europe and Australia, and will definitely have a complete overseas box office hit "Happy Ghost".

But now Kang Jianfei suddenly announced what the new movie is, which made Zou Wenhuai feel alert, because Jackie Chan also focuses on kung fu movies.

If Kang Jianfei succeeds, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Jackie Chan's humorous kung fu film, which is far more than the popularity of "Happy Ghost".

Nine years ago, Bruce Lee's kung fu films were born, announcing the death penalty for traditional martial arts films; two years ago, Jackie Chan's humorous kung fu films were born, which once again changed the pattern of Hong Kong action films.

Zou Wenhuai is now afraid that the spiritual fantasy kung fu film will set off another trend in kung fu films.

He Guanchang advised: Wen Huai, don’t be too careful. Jiahe’s goal is to face the international market, so why bother fighting with Princess Jin in this small pond in Hong Kong.The United States is ready, and Aaron will fly over tomorrow. "The Killer's Trench" is our top priority.

He Guanchang is talking about Jiahe's plan to enter the Western market. In October last year, Zou Wenhuai announced in Hollywood that it would invest $60 million to shoot six major production films.

At that time, Jiahe had just signed Jackie Chan, and Zou Wenhuai's move was to build momentum for Jackie Chan to enter the US market, trying to make Jackie Chan the second place.

Because before Jackie Chan signed in to Jiahe, he had already had a very stable box office appeal in Asian countries, and what he lacked was his popularity in Europe and the United States.

Hearing the two bosses talking about him, Jackie Chan immediately raised his back and looked forward to going to the United States to kill all directions, making the ghosts scream and go crazy for him like Bruce Lee.

"Killer Trench" is a co-production between Jiahe and Hollywood giant Warner Bros. The movie has invited many big European and American movie stars to join, and several major actors have paid more than $1.5 million.

Jackie Chan's pay in this film is also aligned with Hollywood stars, reaching a million dollars that Chinese movie stars cannot reach at this time.

The US dollar is still very valuable now, and the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is close to 1:8, which means that Jackie Chan's salary alone is more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than the box office dividends of "Happy Ghost" that Kang Jianfei received in this port.

Regardless of whether "The Killer's Treasure" was successful or not, Jackie Chan has reached a new level of Hong Kong and Taiwan movie stars.

Because of the same period, the pay for brothers Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie was only HK$2 million.

There are even fewer other movie stars, and the famous Sammo Hung pays only more than 1 million yuan; Adam Cheng is so popular in TV series, but his pay for movies will not exceed 300,000 yuan.

Zou Wenhuai instructed Jackie Chan to go to the United States to make some filming matters, so he asked him to go back and prepare with a smile.

After Jackie Chan left, Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked: Guan Chang, do you think it is possible to dig that Kang Jianfei over?

He Guanchang said in surprise: Why do you think of digging him?Lei Juekun supported him so hard last time, and there must be any agreement between the two. Even if we can successfully poach people, the penalty for liquidated contract is probably no lower than that of poaching Ah Long.

Zou Wenhuai said: Now Aaron is going to enter Hollywood. I don’t want the backyard to catch fire at this time. Kang Jianfei is always an unstable factor, and Princess Jin is even more of a big trouble."Happy Ghost" is now being released in Southeast Asia, and it is estimated that the box office in Taiwan will not be low. Kan Jianfei is poached to earn Asian box office, and then let Aaron develop the market in the United States so that we can also move forward and retreat freely.

He Guanchang is an old partner who has worked with Zou Wenhuai for decades and is very clear about Zou Wenhuai's personality.

Zou Wenhuai wanted to dig Kang Jianfei, not only because of business considerations, but also had the idea of ​​revenge on Princess Jin and digging Sammo Hung.

This time, Lei Juekun digging Sammo Hung made Jiahe suffer a lot, because when Sammo Hung ran away, he packed up and took away a whole team, and even Yuan Biao, who was about to give a little support, followed.

Zou Wenhuai continued: Kang Jianfei also looks ambitious, and it is best to dig up such ambitious people.Princess Jin can give him Jiahe, but Princess Jin cannot help him release the film to Europe and the United States like Jiahe. If he is a smart person, he will definitely agree.

He Guanchang could only sigh: OK, I'll try it.

……

Since its opening, Oriental Dream Factory has not been as lively as it is today.

The dozens of media reporters who poured in early morning made Ma Qiao a little helpless. Although he is a top student at Harvard Business School, he has no experience in dealing with the media after all.

Fortunately, Kang Jianfei called him in advance, otherwise he would not know what to do.

Facing the noisy reporters crowded at the company's door, Ma Qiao moved the bench and stood up and shouted: Everyone!Dear reporters, please be honest, I am Ma Qiao, the operation director of Oriental Dream Factory.If you have any interviews, please join the company in an orderly manner before talking!

With an office area of ​​less than 200 square meters, dozens of reporters suddenly rushed in, and the company suddenly became shabby.The most basic seat stool is far from enough, and these reporters can only stand.

Manager Ma, when will Mr. Kang arrive at the company?A reporter couldn't wait to ask.

Ma Qiao said according to the discussion with Kang Jianfei on the phone: Mr. Kang has something else to do today and will not come to the company.

A tabloid reporter asked: At the main hall, Mr. Kang showed his skills yesterday and shot two robbers on the spot. I wonder if he missed any of them in the company?

Ma Qiao shook his head and said: I have no idea that Mr. Kang knows how to be kung fu. He is very kind to his subordinates in the company and can't tell how to be kung fu.

Zhang Xu, a company typist who was mixed in the crowd of reporters, suddenly asked: Can you talk about the spiritual fantasy kung fu movie Mr. Kang mentioned?

Finally getting to the point, Ma Qiao smiled and said: Spiritual Fantasy Kung Fu movies, as the name suggests, are combining spiritual fantasy-themed movies with kung fu movies. This is a brand new type of movie created by Mr. Kang. I believe that I will give you a surprise at that time.I cannot disclose the specific plot of the movie, but the title of the movie can be known in advance. The name of this movie is "Mr. Zombie".

Isn't that a zombie movie?Whoever shoots the zombie movie will compensate you.A reporter said.

Six years ago, Shaw Brothers filmed a zombie film, but it ended up falling to the moon.Since then, no director in Hong Kong dares to touch zombie movies, and zombie movies are dead is also a common view in the industry.

Kang Jianfei is now suddenly coming to film a zombie film, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation and discussion among reporters.

Ma Qiao said: In this movie, Mr. Kang will give the zombie film a brand new explanation, and everyone will know it at that time.Moreover, we will go to Taipei to film this movie. This is a big production with a budget of 4 million yuan, no longer a small fight with a cost of only 500,000 yuan.

Ha ha ha ha……

Ma Qiao's last two sentences attracted laughter from reporters, and he actually said that the 4 million yuan production was not enough for Jackie Chan's own salary in "The Killer's Trench".

Ma Qiao heard the laughter and said seriously: For Oriental DreamWorks, 4 million is a big production, because this is already the company's capital.All our colleagues in DreamWorks have taken making good movies as their mission and have pursued their lifelong pursuit of making movies that audiences like.We are still a small company now, but we dare to give it all to make good movies. The cost of our movie is the hard work and sweat of all the employees of the company, and it cannot be measured by money. Therefore, every movie in our DreamWorks is a big production!

OK, well said!Zhang Xu, a typist who was a child care among reporters, clapped his hands and shouted, and other reporters also applauded for dealing with the scene.

Next, Ma Qiao talks about what kind of company was created, the employees worked hard, Mr. Kang stayed up late to write scripts, etc.

The more the reporters listened, the more something was wrong. They gradually realized that Kang Jianfei wanted to use this incident to promote his company and movies, and he was suddenly disappointed.

Just when they were about to leave, a beautiful woman, Pan Yingzi, suddenly came in from the company!

Pan Yingzi came on purpose. She lost her reputation for retiring for several years. She had the same idea as Kang Jianfei, and wanted to use this matter to hype herself.

Yesterday, Pan Yingzi was really scared. She went home and tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about the bloody scene at that time.

Later, somehow, he shifted his thoughts to Kang Jianfei, who killed the bandits, and became more and more curious about his future boss.

In particular, Kang Jianfei rescued her from the bandits and hugged her all the way to escort her to the police station, giving Pan Yingzi a very strong sense of security.

Pan Yingzi finally fell asleep in her wild thoughts. When she woke up, she felt much better. Yesterday's incident had little impact on her mood.

When she saw the headlines of today's newspaper, she immediately felt that this was an opportunity to become famous again, so she hurried to the company.

It's Miss Pan!

Did Miss Pan come to find Mr. Kang?

Miss Pan, someone saw you having Western food with Mr. Kang at the Peninsula Hotel last night, and holding hands like a couple. What is your explanation for this?

……

Although Pan Yingzi came to hype her fame, she did not answer the reporter's questions, but squeezed into the company directly and said one sentence: Sorry, I don't want to explain more about what happened yesterday.I came to the company today because I have accepted Mr. Kang’s employment and become the Artist Department Manager of Oriental Dream Factory!
