Just as Kang Jianfei walked into the Peninsula Teahouse, Zou Wenhuai's accompanying assistant stepped forward and said, "Mr. Kang, Mr. Zou is over there, please come with me. [;Starting]"

Kang Jianfei followed behind this person, swept his eyes around the tea restaurant, and saw Fatty Wang Jing and a beautiful woman drinking tea secretly. The beauty was in her early twenties, her mouth was a little big, and she was laughing softly from time to time when Wang Jing teased her.

Wang Jing also saw Kang Jianfei coming in, waved his hand and asked with a smile: "A Fei, what a coincidence, have you made an appointment?"

Kang Jianfei nodded at him, pointed towards Zou Wenhuai, and continued to follow Zou Wenhuai's assistant.

When Wang Jing saw that it was Zou Wenhuai who Kang Jianfei was going to meet, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The sun is really coming out of the west."

The beautiful woman cheered in a low voice: "Wow, it's Mr. Kang. It's the first time I've seen him in person. He's even more handsome than the one on the screen."

Wang Jing scratched his forehead with his fingers, and said helplessly: "Please, in front of me, praise other people for being handsome and don't praise them too obviously, okay?"

Kang Jianfei walked to Zou Wenhuai's table, dragged his chair away and sat down, smiled at Zou Wenhuai, and started to order tea.

Zou Wenhuai waited for Kang Jianfei's tea before he said, "This year's Academy Awards went well."

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with me, the main reason is that Shu Qi's planning and operation are well done, and I am only responsible for paying the money."

"Mr. Kang is humble, even if he pays money, not everyone dares to pay," Zou Wenhuai praised, "It's been less than four years since he came to Hong Kong, but Mr. Kang has been very prosperous in the film industry, which makes people admire. ."

Kang Jianfei couldn't figure out what Zou Wenhuai wanted to do, and said more and more modestly, "It's just a fluke."

The two chatted a lot, and Zou Wenhuai took out an invitation card from his pocket and said, "I received this yesterday. Mr. Kang's action is really unexpected."

"Oh, you mean the Oriental Entertainment Company," Kang Jianfei laughed, "I just regard movies as a business. When a businessman comes to a place and sees that the locals don't have shoes to wear, they will naturally find ways to sell shoes. Entertainment brokerage company There are already many in the United States, and I think Hong Kong should also be able to do this business.”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Good vision and courage."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Why, Boss Zou is also interested?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome to be an entertainment company. I don't have a TV station as an actor training base."

"Haha, Jiahe Film Company can also be used to cultivate stars." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Even Zou Wenhuai wanted to be a star agency. Not as good as Kang Jianfei's resources, the TV station is indeed a very good training ground for stars.

Zou Wenhuai chatted with Kang Jianfei for a few words. Zheng Se asked: "Eastern Entertainment is really completely independent from DreamWorks?"

Kang Jianfei asked back, "What's the benefit of being involved?"

Zou Wenhuai took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "If Jiahe wants to invite Zhou Runfa and Lin Qingxia to make a movie, will you agree, Mr. Kang?"

"It seems that I have never refused? It's just that Jiahe has not invited them." Kang Jianfei replied with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai's tone was stagnant, and he said, "It seems that I have thought too much."

At this time in the Hong Kong film industry, there is still a strong perspective. For example, Jiahe will never lend Cheng Long to others to make films. And Kang Jianfei is not. After Zhou Runfa and Lin Qingxia transferred their brokerage contracts to Oriental Entertainment, they completely opened their doors to all film companies. In principle, even Shaw Brothers and Art City are willing to pay. Kang Jianfei will also lend out actors.

It was because of seeing this that Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to invite Kang Jianfei out for tea, ready to explore Kang Jianfei's tone.

Kang Jianfei said: "Actually, in the Hong Kong film industry, the person I admire most is Boss Zou."

"Oh, what am I worthy of Mr. Kang's admiration?" Zou Wenhuai asked with a smile.

Kang Jianfei said: "The satellite company system you created at the beginning strongly supports independent film production, which makes Hong Kong film creation more liberal."

What Kang Jianfei said was Zou Wenhuai's most proud achievement. He smiled and said, "I don't dare to do it, it's just to provide more opportunities for my colleagues."

"My establishment of Oriental Entertainment Company is also to provide more opportunities for my peers." Kang Jianfei went back to his words.

Zou Wenhuai asked seemingly casually, "Don't Mr. Kang want to borrow the Oriental Entertainment Company to control all the artist resources in Hong Kong?"

There is a saying in later generations that evaluates Hollywood, saying that the masters of Hollywood are not those Hollywood production giants, nor famous directors and dazzling stars, but entertainment brokerage companies that master the resources of artists.

Once Kang Jianfei has mastered most of the artist resources in Hong Kong, even Zou Wenhuai and others will do things with their breath.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "I'm not arrogant enough to include all Hong Kong artists. Everyone is not a fool, especially those top star actors, they don't have to worry about film contracts, how can they be willing to be controlled by me? Even if they are ordinary Artists, if there is a better place to go, they will leave as soon as the contract arrives.”

What Kang Jianfei said is the truth. For example, Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam signed a brokerage contract with Oriental Entertainment Company, and they have a lot of freedom. First of all, the company's commission for them is very low, and the contract is signed once a year, and they must meet their own wishes when taking the film.

"That's right, people go to high places." Zou Wenhuai nodded. Although he was worried, he still planned to cooperate with Kang Jianfei's Oriental Entertainment Company.

The operation mode of Golden Harvest Pictures and its satellite companies is very commercial and liberal, that is, it has a few core production teams, and then the rest are made up temporarily. In the past, the core of Golden Harvest was Bruce Lee, but now the core is Cheng Long. Most of Golden Harvest's resources revolve around them.

Since its establishment more than ten years ago, Miao Kexiu is the most famous among Jiahe actresses. But after Bruce Lee's death, Miao Kexiu couldn't stand the huge mental pressure, and went to Taiwan to develop.

In the past, Jiahe could go to Lishi to find actors, but now the actors of Phoenix TV are all signed into the Oriental Entertainment Company, and sometimes it is difficult to find important supporting roles in Jiahe's films. Another option for Zou Wenhuai is to cooperate with Shao Yifu, but aside from their personal grievances, TVB has too tight control over artists, and it is sometimes very difficult to borrow actors.

Jiahe Films has rich film resources. It is not difficult to deliberately cultivate female stars, as long as you choose a few good seedlings and let them star in the films of Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.

But this is not in line with Jiahe's business philosophy, and it has certain risks. At the same time, most of Jiahe's films are kung fu movies, so there is no need to spend so much effort to cultivate female stars.

Whether it is Hong Kong now or 30 years from now. The salary of first-tier male stars and first-tier female stars is very different. For example, Cheng Long's current salary (including box office share) is almost 5 million, and there are no more than 10 actresses in Hong Kong with a salary of more than 300,000. And like Li Yanshan and Li Saifeng, the remuneration is 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, but sometimes the film contract of 100,000 yuan will also be accepted, and actresses do not have much room to be picky.

It is easy to cultivate a famous actress in Hong Kong, but cultivate a female star with overseas box office ability. That would be very rare.

Invite popular actresses directly from Oriental Entertainment Company, which is compared to cultivating them yourself. It will greatly reduce the cost, and you don't have to take the risk of hitting the street. After all, compared to newcomers, established actors not only have better acting skills, but also have good box office appeal.

After chatting for a while, Zou Wenhuai finally said, "I will personally go to congratulate Dongfang Entertainment's opening ceremony next week."

Does this mean shaking hands and making peace?

In fact, Kang Jianfei and Zou Wenhuai really have no "discord". It's just normal business competition, not like he and Shao Yifu and Lei Juekun have torn their faces.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "Mr. Zou's face is naturally welcome."

Now that the words have been spoken. The atmosphere that followed was much more harmonious. As for the trivial matter of Zou Wenhuai poaching Kang Jianfei's special effects team, it was completely unworthy of mention.

After chatting for about 20 minutes, Zou Wenhuai looked at the watch and left, and Kang Jianfei also stood up and smiled.

Since many celebrities and celebrities in the film and television industry drink tea at the Peninsula Hotel, entertainment reporters are often squatting at the Peninsula Teahouse.

Zou Wenhuai returned to the car and sighed: "Within ten years, this young man will have the final say in what happens in the Hong Kong film industry."

Zou Wenhuai's personal assistant is obviously not just a person who is carrying a bag and laughing, he asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to cooperate with him since you know that Oriental Entertainment Company will develop?"

"Doing business is not vindictive, why not cooperate if it's good?" Zou Wenhuai asked rhetorically.

Of course, Zou Wenhuai is not stupid. To invite actors from Oriental Entertainment Company to film, naturally they value the fame of actresses such as Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong, but the biggest selling point is Cheng Long's kung fu.

Moreover, if there are suitable newcomers in the future, Jiahe will still cultivate its own team.

Kang Jianfei was about to leave the tea restaurant, but Wang Jing brought the beautiful woman over and asked curiously, "A Fei, why did you come out for tea with Boss Zou?"

"What can't you do?" Kang Jianfei looked at the beauty and smiled, "It's you who dares to go out on a date with a beautiful girl, be careful I tell my sister-in-law about it."

"Hey, don't get me wrong," Wang Jing introduced. "This lady is Liang Yunrui, last year's Miss Hong Kong champion. I asked her out to talk about business."

No wonder the face was familiar, so Kang Jianfei remembered it, shook hands with Liang Yunrui and said, "Hello, Miss Liang."

"Hello, Mr. Kang," Liang Yunrui said excitedly, "I like watching your movies very much, especially that one."

Kang Jianfei didn't expect this Hong Kong sister to be his own fan, so he smiled and said, "Really? That's such an honor. Miss Liang doesn't want to stay at TVB one day, just come and find me."

Wang Jing quickly interrupted: "Hey, why are you poaching people as soon as you meet!"

"It's just a habit," Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Are you going to make a movie for Shaw Brothers?"

Wang Jing shrugged and said, "I couldn't stand my dad's face, so I reluctantly made a movie. But Uncle Shao Liu finally figured out how to work around it, and this time he actually gave me a bonus for the director."

Kang Jianfei asked, "What genre are you going to shoot?"

Wang Jing said: "The type, the script is almost ready, call."

In another time and space, the cast is strong, and the three heroines are Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Manyu and Guan Zhilin. But now Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin are both from Kang Jianfei, and Zhang Manyu has just signed up for this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. Wang Jing is now having a headache with casting roles, so she has to choose slowly from TVB actors.

Kang Jianfei said: "I'm going to set up a star agency soon. If Boss Shao doesn't mind, you can go to me to choose actors."

Wang Jing didn't hold out much hope, and only said, "I'll give it a try."

"If there's nothing to do~lightnovelpub.net~ I'll go first," Kang Jianfei said to Liang Yunrui, "Miss Liang, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Liang Yunrui waved.

Wang Jing, however, took his heart and said to himself, "The star agency, go see it another day."

...

Early in the morning the next day, the entertainment page published a big news——

Fang Yihua walked into Shao Yifu's office with a newspaper and said, "Sixth brother, look at this."

Shao Yifu just gave a casual glance, threw the opening invitation card of Oriental Entertainment Company on the table and said, "I'm afraid it is because of this."

Shaw Brothers and TVB are not short of actors, Fang Yihua sneered: "Just because of a star company, Zou Wenhuai actually bowed his head in front of a younger generation."

Shao Yifu said with a smile: "It's not like bowing your head, it's just mutual benefit."
