"When will Xiaodong finish the movie in his hand now?" Gan Guoliang asked Xu Kedao.

Xu Ke chewed the stewed elbow and said, "Maybe it will be a month."

Gan Guoliang said: "It's time to prepare in advance, and strive to start smoothly after the Spring Festival."

Xu Ke asked Zhang Yimou: "Did Director Zhang go to Hong Kong, or should I invite the art director and costume director to work in Beijing?"

"I just got the script a few days ago. Let's think about it." When Zhang Yimou agreed to be the director of "Ancient and Modern Wars Against Qin Terracotta Warriors", he was proud of the popularity of "Red Sorghum" and thought that it would be a good idea to transform himself into a commercial director. A matter of minutes. Now I just filmed a street movie, and I have the script of "Ancient and Modern Wars Against Qin Terracotta Warriors", so I don't have confidence.

"Also, Director Zhang also made up his mind about the actor's choice. I'm really unfamiliar with the actors in the Mainland." Gan Guoliang said.

In another time and space, the male protagonist of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Terracotta Warriors" is Zhang Yimou. That role was forced by him to come over. At that time, he and Gong Li were already together, just to be a couple on the screen.

But Zhang Yimou is 40 years old after all, and his face has a lot of folds. How can he be suitable for the male lead in a commercial romance? Whether it's the producer Gan Guoliang or the producer Xu Ke, both of them mean to find a handsome and masculine male protagonist.

"How about Jiang Wen?" Zhang Yimou felt that Jiang Wen was very masculine.

Since Gan Guoliang asked Zhang Yimou to be the director, he naturally saw his films and rejected it: "Jiang Wen's style is not suitable."

Zhang Yimou thought about it, suddenly remembered a person, and said, "How is Zhang Fengyi?"

"Who is Zhang Fengyi?" Xu Ke asked.

"I'll call him tomorrow and let Mr. Gan and Mr. Xu have a look." Zhang Yimou felt that he had found a suitable actor this time. Zhang Fengyi was indeed a kind of masculine man when he was young, and he was very suitable for Meng Tianfang, the general in the film. style of.

Zhang Yimou is the director after all. The choice of the male protagonist must respect his opinion to a large extent, and the three of them are basically given by Zhang Fengyi.

After chatting for a while, the food was almost cold before we broke up. Zhang Yimou took his car and went back to call Zhang Fengyi. Kang Jianfei stopped Gan Guoliang when he left the hotel: "Would you like to have two more drinks?"

"Okay." Although Gan Guoliang didn't know Kang Jianfei's purpose, he agreed.

Xu Ke knew that Kang Jianfei and Gan Guoliang had something to talk about. Interestingly, he said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the hotel to rest first."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "My car is over there, let the driver take you back."

After dismissing Xu Ke, Kang Jianfei and Gan Guoliang came to a tea room. I just drank a lot of wine, and Kang Jianfei said that drinking two cups is naturally tea. Today's Beijing bars can not be found, but the place to drink tea is easy to find.

After ordering the tea, Kang Jianfei asked straight to the point, "Have you ever thought about long-term development here when you come to the mainland to make a movie?"

Gan Guoliang said with a wry smile: "I think so too. But it's too difficult. Tianyi Company said it opened in Beijing, but in fact it's a Hong Kong company. "

Record companies in the mainland will soon be able to be privately owned, but filmmaking is still only qualified for state-run studios. Not to mention now, even more than ten years from now, a mainland film company will have to buy a factory label from a state-owned studio to make a movie before it can be released. Trouble aside, the most troubling thing is the issue of film copyright. The films produced privately are all produced by state-owned factories in the name of the name. Don't you know that the producer of any film is Han Sanye?

Like Zhang Yimou's "Codename Jaguar" that just hit the street. Although it is a privately invested film, the producer is targeting the Xi'an Film Studio.

Kang Jianfei said: "After all, the commercial space for co-production is too narrow. Every year, the mainland introduces a few foreign films. Moreover, the box office share is also reduced to less than 15%. If it is replaced by a mainland film company, it will be different. The factory buys the factory logo, although the copyright issue is not clear, but there is no discrimination in box office share and outside film quota.”

Gan Guoliang asked: "Mr. Kang is going to invest in a film company in the mainland?"

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I just saw Mr. Gan that you suddenly came to the mainland to make a big cast, and I just wanted to ask if you are interested. If possible, we can cooperate."

Gan Guoliang shook his head: "The film environment in the mainland is too bad, I have no interest in it for the time being, and coming to the mainland to make films is just a fancy for the cheap film resources here."

"You don't have to make movies. You can set up a film and television advertising company in the mainland, and more often you will be shooting TV dramas, commercials and producing variety shows," said Kang Jianfei. "There are more than 30 provincial-level TV stations in the mainland, but no more than five TV stations with TV series production capabilities. These TV stations are eager to buy high-quality and low-cost TV series. But most of them can only pick up old movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and The price is not low. If there is a company specializing in the production of TV series, there must be a market.”

Gan Guoliang finally understood what Kang Jianfei was trying to say. If a company were to open a company in the mainland to produce TV dramas, both the behind-the-scenes and the actors' remuneration would all be cabbage prices, and the TV series would not be sold at all.

Kang Jianfei was just interested in Gan Guoliang's TV production ability, especially the production ability of variety shows, so he invited him to open a film and television advertising company in the mainland.

Gan Guoliang thought about it seriously, and finally refused, he said: "Thank you Mr. Kang for your fancy. Now I am in charge of Macau Satellite TV, and I have opened a new film company. I am afraid that I don't have time to start a business in the mainland. You should ask another one. Be smart."

"Macao Satellite TV is on the right track, it doesn't need as much thought as before, there is still time." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Macau Satellite TV has developed rapidly in Gan Guoliang's hands. Now it has two channels. Gan Guoliang only needs to control the strategic direction, and the daily administrative management has other people, so he has time to open a company with Yu Zheng and go to the mainland to make movies.

However, Gan Guoliang is really not optimistic about doing film and television in the Mainland, because there are too many political variables, he shook his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Kang for your attention, but I am not familiar with the Mainland film and television industry, so I may not be able to do it."

"If that's the case, then forget it." Kang Jianfei just asked casually, as long as he could afford the money. There are many people willing to cooperate.

In Kang Jianfei's plan, the film and television advertising company will not only produce movies, TV series and commercials, but also various TV variety shows. If it is said that mainland TV stations can go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to buy TV series. Then variety shows can't be bought, once a good TV show is developed. That basically amounts to discovering a gold mine - no way, the mainland TV market is too big.

Since Gan Guoliang had no interest, Kang Jianfei didn't force it. In fact, he only lacks a capable operator. As for good producers, directors and screenwriters, the mainland has caught a lot of them, and they are all underappreciated masters.

On the way back, Gong Li asked, "Why do you think of opening a film and television company in mainland China, how much money do you make here?"

"It's never wrong to walk in the front. Anyway, I didn't lose a lot of money." Kang Jianfei laughed, too lazy to explain too much to her.

Back at Gong Li's residence, Kang Jianfei found the phone number of Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West", and asked her about a great man.

Although it was on a whim that he thought of opening a film and television advertising company in the Mainland, he already knew the candidates for the production supervisor. That is, he had produced and directed "Desire", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "Beijing People in New York", "Golden Wedding", " Zheng Xiaolong, a superhero in films such as The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem.

Before crossing, when Kang Jianfei was a photographer, he also followed a few TV crews. In the eyes of Kang Jianfei at that time, Zheng Xiaolong was definitely an existence that he could only look up to, and that was a great **** in the mainland TV drama industry. Now since I want to find a good producer and director. Kang Jianfei's first reaction was to invite Zheng Xiaolong.

Kang Jianfei didn't know where this person was now, so he called Yang Jie and asked, only to find out that Zheng Xiaolong didn't take a job at any TV station. Instead, he was the deputy director of the production office at the Beijing/Beijing TV Art Center.

The so-called Beijing-Beijing TV Art Center is a TV drama production organization under the Beijing-Beijing city, which has been established for several years. However, this unit did not have any good works at this time, and it would not start to show its power until the 1990s. It even signed a film supply agreement with 28 provincial TV stations across the country, and the TV series were booked by major TV stations before they were filmed.

"Hey, Director Zheng? I'm Kang Jianfei... Yes, the director from Hong Kong... Hehe, I'm not really a great international director. Director Zheng is rude... Is Director Zheng free tomorrow? I want to invite you to a light meal... ...Okay, tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. The place is. How about the roast duck in Quanjude...Okay, that's it. Goodbye." Kang Jianfei hung up the phone, Gong Li had already wrapped around her back, and her red lips kissed his cheek , gradually sticking to his ear, exhaling like blue.

"Gege..." Gong Li let out a series of laughter like a silver bell, but Kang Jianfei threw her onto the bed and rushed on like a hungry wolf.

...

In an antique shop in Liulichang.

Wu Zhenyu sat in front of the huanghuali wood table, inserted a key into the keyhole of the bronze box, and then dialed a series of cipher numbers.

"Cum clap clap..."

The delicate mechanism lock was opened, and a strange copper fish appeared in front of the camera.

The shot taken at the moment is not the main content of "The Tomb Raiders", but the easter egg at the end of the film, in preparation for the sequel of the film.

"Crack!"

"Get it done, kill it!"

Kang Jianfei shouted with relief that after half a year of preparation and filming, "Notes on Tomb Raiders" has finally been completed.

Most of the crew left when they left Danxia Mountain, and now there are only three main actors, Zeng Jiang, Wu Zhenyu and Zhang Dan, and the necessary behind-the-scenes personnel. When Kang Jianfei announced the completion of the project, everyone had a smile on their faces.

From summer to late autumn, whether it's the actors or behind the scenes, everyone is exhausted. For example, Zhang Dan, who plays the heroine, is exhausted from filming every day. After returning to the hotel to eat, he wants to sleep, and he is not even in the mood to seduce Kang Jianfei.

"Mr. Kang, can we stay in Beijing for a few more days, everyone wants to climb the Great Wall." Wu Zhenyu asked cautiously.

Kang Jianfei said: "You can figure it out for yourself, but you must communicate well with each other, and don't end up with one or two missing in the end."

Zeng Jiang also came to the capital for the first time. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, director, I will be optimistic about them."

"Mr. Kang is going back to Hong Kong today?" Zhang Dan asked around Kang Jianfei when he waited for the others to pack up.

Kang Jianfei glanced at her intently and smiled, "I still need to do some errands in Beijing, and my place to stay at night will remain the same."

"Oh." Zhang Yan sighed and went to help clean the shooting site.

Kang Jianfei organized the manpower to do the finishing work, and saw with his own eyes that the film taken in Beijing was on the flight to Hong Kong, before returning to the city by car. Estimated the time to go to Quanjude to make an appointment.

Kang Jianfei had not eaten Quanjude's roast duck for ten years since time traveled to the present, and suddenly felt strangely nostalgic.

It was too early to arrive at the store. Kang Jianfei was sitting there eating his mouth full of oil, and Zheng Xiaolong came slowly on his bicycle.

"Excuse me, are you... Mr. Kang from Hong Kong?" Zheng Xiaolong looked around in the restaurant. He walked to Kang Jianfei's table a little uncertainly.

"Director Zheng, please sit down!" Kang Jianfei stood up and said.

"Don't dare, just call me by my name," Zheng Xiaolong said quickly.

Zheng Xiaolong is only in his 30s now. Although he is the deputy director of the production office of the Beijing TV Art Center, to be honest, the current situation is quite abysmal. After all, today's Beijing TV Art Center is not as good as it was later. Zheng Xiaolong has been the deputy director of the TV Art Center for 6 years, but he has never filmed a TV series, except for drinking tea and reading newspapers every day. It is to take the initiative to run to the crew of CCTV to fight.

In such a state of existence, when facing the internationally renowned director Kang Jianfei, Zheng Xiaolong naturally did not dare to show the style of his director, and spoke in a very modest tone.

Kang Jianfei knew, however, that the gentle-looking man in front of him would produce a TV series with terrifying ratings and influence next year. And the Beijing Film Art Center where he is located also became a blockbuster because of this "Desire". The names of the male and female protagonists have become adjectives. For example, to describe a woman as very virtuous, just directly say that this woman is Liu Huifang. This TV series not only caused a sensation in the mainland, but was even sold to Hong Kong for broadcast the following year. It also attracted thousands of people when it was broadcast in Vietnam.

However, Zheng Xiaolong obviously didn't know that he would be so powerful in the future. After sitting down and ordering the duck, he was still confused about this trip.

Kang Jianfei's name. Zheng Xiaolong had heard of it. Because he is a TV drama, and "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Bang" have Kang Jianfei's investment, Zheng Xiaolong knows that this is a rich master. Last night, he received a call from Kang Jianfei, saying that he was going to invite him to eat roast duck. Zheng Xiaolong was also excited for a long time, thinking that Kang Jianfei was going to find him to cooperate in a TV series this time.

Before the roast duck was served, Zheng Xiaolong couldn't hold his breath and began to ask Kang Jianfei's purpose.

Kang Jianfei threw a piece of roast duck into his mouth, savoring the long-lost taste and said: "I am going to open a film and television advertising company in Beijing. The main business is to shoot movies, TV dramas, commercials and TV variety shows. I would like to invite Director Zheng to serve as the company. program production manager.”

"Let me be the program production manager?" Zheng Xiaolong was a little confused. He didn't expect Kang Jianfei to speak so directly, that he actually wanted him to go to the sea and join a private company.

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes. Is Director Zheng willing?"

Zheng Xiaolong didn't say whether to answer or not, but asked, "Why did Mr. Kang choose me? I'm just messing around in the TV circle, and I'm all for others."

Kang Jianfei lied without blushing: "Director Yang Jie recommended you to me."

"Oh, so it is." Zheng Xiaolong didn't doubt Kang Jianfei's words, because he did work with Yang Jie. At that time, "Journey to the West" was filmed in Xiangshan, and Zheng Xiaolong, the deputy director of the production office of the Beijing TV Center, really did a lot of work.

Kang Jianfei elaborated on his idea of ​​starting a film and television advertising company and said, "I will arrange another person for the operation and management of the company. If Director Zheng joins my company, then he only needs to be fully responsible for program production, funds, policies and manpower. Nothing to worry about.”

In fact, Zheng Xiaolong has long been moved. He is an aggressive person. Even if Kang Jianfei didn't show up, two years later he would go to the United States to open a film and television company, throwing away his iron rice bowl and going to sea without the slightest psychological burden.

In particular, he didn't have a good result now, but Kang Jianfei directly asked him to be the program production manager of the company, which moved Zheng Xiaolong, who had been frustrated for many years, and gave birth to the urge to die for his confidant.

In fact, Zheng Xiaolong has planned to shoot TV series in the past few years, but his unit has insufficient funds, coupled with other messy reasons, his plans have never been realized.

"Mr. Kang, I actually have an idea now. I'm going to make a TV series that reflects the late 1960s to the late 1980s, and reflects the changes of the times and human nature through the life experiences of a few ordinary little people..." Zheng Xiaolong did not Said whether he would like to follow Kang Jianfei to do ~lightnovelpub.net~ but directly handed over the registration form, he wanted to prove that he really had goods in his stomach.

Kang Jianfei only heard a few words from Zheng Xiaolong, and knew that he was talking about the divine drama "Desire". Although it is only an idea of ​​Zheng Xiaolong, as long as you find a screenwriter to write the script, and then find a good director and actors, this drama will be the company's entrepreneurial work.

"It's a very good idea. I will ask a friend to run the company's formalities tomorrow. You can also find a screenwriter to write the script. It is estimated that the company will be officially established next year." However, seeing that Zheng Xiaolong had spoken out about the drama, he was not going to delay any longer, and decided to finish the business of starting a company in a short time.

This fact is a bit bizarre. I suddenly received a call to invite me to dinner, and then I was asked to be the program production manager in a confused way. The whole process was like a daydream.

If it were someone else, Zheng Xiaolong might still think he was a liar, but Kang Jianfei was sitting in front of him. People with hundreds of thousands of people in minutes would waste their time trying to deceive him as a deputy director of a broken office?

Zheng Xiaolong felt that he was lucky! (To be continued)()
