The successful release in the new era theaters has swept away the haze that has entangled in the hearts of DreamWorks employees for days, and the company has been filled with a cheerful atmosphere these days. [;Starting]

Xu Kochong smiled at Chen Shuli outside, and then knocked on the door of Kang Jianfei's office.

"Please come in." Kang Jianfei's voice came from inside.

"Hello, Mr. Kang." Xu Ke pushed open the door and walked into the office, without calling Kang Jianfei's name directly. After all, this is in the company, and the relationship between the two is a boss and an employee.

"Oh, it's Lao Xu," Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Is your studio ready?"

"Just arrange it, and then hire a clerk and an errand boy and you'll be done." Xu Ke said that his studio belongs to a special department of DreamWorks, next to several administrative departments.

Seeing Xu Ke holding a book in his hand, Kang Jianfei asked, "Have an idea so soon?"

"Actually, it's an idea I've always had," Xu Ke said as he handed the book to Kang Jianfei, "I really like the master of Huanzhu, and I wanted to make it into a movie for a long time."

"?" Kang Jianfei took a look at the book, and suddenly had a headache. He even began to doubt whether he was right to recruit Xu Ke.

Xu Ke, however, said cheerfully: "There is such a sci-fi blockbuster in Hollywood, and I heard that Shaw Brothers is also planning to make one recently. I think it is better for Hong Kong directors to make sci-fi films than to make swordsmen films. Western special effects technology combined with Eastern magic weapons, Spell, the picture is absolutely shocking. As long as you nod, Mr. Kang, I will immediately ask someone to write the script."

"It's a good idea," Kang Jianfei nodded, "but how much do you plan to shoot?"

"Three..." Xu Ke stretched out three fingers, and later became two fingers, "Twenty million is enough."

Still "enough", Kang Jianfei really wanted to kick this guy out, he asked with a smile: "Do you think if I invest 20 million and let you shoot, deduct your studio share and the hospital's share, How much should I lose?"

"Uh..." Xu Ke was stunned. Immediately, he smiled and said, "Mr. Kang, I don't need the studio's share, just give me a director's salary."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, how much box office do you think it can sell?"

Xu Ke is quite self-confident: "This is the first movie that combines Eastern Swordsman and Western special effects. As long as it is made, it will definitely be a sensation. I estimate that it will sell at least 20 million at the box office in Hong Kong and 50 million in Nanyang. , sold 8 million in Taiwan and 60 million in Japan and South Korea. This is more than 100 million. It will definitely make a return on investment.”

"You are very confident." Kang Jianfei no longer wanted to discuss the box office with Xu Ke, who was full of confidence. If he remembered correctly, the box office in Hong Kong in the original time and space did not exceed 2 million.

The local box office is less than one-tenth of the production cost. This can no longer be described as a street crash. It is simply a crater of meteorites for ten thousand years.

Xu Ke also saw that Kang Jianfei was not very interested at this time. He quickly persuaded: "Mr. Kang, look at my plan. I have written many ideas on it."

Kang Jianfei shook his head very resolutely: "The budget is too much, I just bought a TV station, and now I don't have much money in my pocket. If you pay 20 to 30 million to shoot one for you, then the company will not be able to open other dramas. And Once you hit the street, DreamWorks will be over, and I can't put the future of the entire company on one of your films."

Xu Ke stood up embarrassedly as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. Said: "I understand, Mr. Kang, I will shoot a few small films first."

Kang Jianfei didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm and said, "It's not that this kind of big production cannot be made, but the time has not yet come. Your idea is very good. Advanced film special effects are also the future development trend, I hope you can wait another two years. ."

This comfort was better than nothing, but Xu Ke was still in a much better mood, nodded to Kang Jianfei, turned and walked out of the office.

Xu Ke has left countless classic films, but they are also "bad" and have made a lot of super bad films.

, These three Xu Ke special effects films used the most advanced industrial special effects, computer special effects and 3D special effects at that time. But as far as the content of the film is concerned, there is no doubt that these three films are all bad films, because the director concentrated his energy on how to use high-tech, and instead sacrificed the plot and rhythm of the film.

Xu Ke is like a driver who drives a broken car. He usually has good driving skills, but once you give him a super sports car, this guy will immediately go rampant on the road.

Of course, there is another situation that Xu Ke has insufficient funds. If he can spend as much as Cameron, maybe he can also become the "king of the world".

Kang Jianfei is not a philanthropist, he can't take out a lot of money to let Xu Ke go "gambling". Therefore, when Xu Ke's film studio was established, Kang Jianfei set a rule that Xu Ke could directly discuss with Pan Yingzi for films with a budget of less than 3 million. Once a movie plan with a budget of more than 3 million yuan, it must be signed by Kang Jianfei before it can be passed.

If during the filming process, Xu Ke's production cost exceeds 30% of the budget, the box office share of the film studio will be cancelled directly.

After sending Xu Ke, Kang Jianfei made a few more calls to Phoenix TV, mainly to inquire about the news reports. Tomorrow is the official date of Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China.

In addition, the broadcast will be finished soon, and Kang Jianfei must follow the producer who has been preparing for a long time.

Just after a few phone calls, Chen Shuli came in and reported, "Boss, Mr. Song from Nanyang Cathay Pacific is here."

"Understood," Kang Jianfei commanded, "you also call Ma Qiao."

Kang Jianfei walked out quickly, and soon saw a middle-aged man in the reception room. He immediately went up to shake his hand with a big laugh: "Mr. Song is here, and DreamWorks will flourish."

This Mr. Song, Song Dechao, is the grand-niece-in-law of a generation of film tycoon Lu Yuntao.

The competition between Cathay Pacific and Shaw Brothers is the most intense in the Nanyang region. The main reason why Cathay Pacific supported Zou Wenhuai was to enrich the film source of Cathay Pacific Cinemas.

In the past, DreamWorks' films were distributed to the Nanyang region, and Princess Jin helped to run the operation in the middle. Later, the Nanyang distribution rights were slowly recovered. However, the withdrawal of the distribution rights does not mean that DreamWorks really does the distribution itself. After all, there are many countries in the Nanyang region, and DreamWorks has no expatriate agencies there, so Princess Jin has always helped to operate.

The cooperation between Princess Golden and DreamWorks was interrupted. DreamWorks' plans for a film in Nanyang came to a standstill immediately. Although the New Era Cinema has solved the problem of DreamWorks' filming in Hong Kong, its distribution in Nanyang has always been an unavoidable hurdle.

And Nanyang Cathay Pacific is also in a hurry, because the box office in Hong Kong broke 30 million, they originally planned to get the Christmas show in Nanyang, who knew that Princess Jin and DreamWorks suddenly became infighting.

For Nanyang Cathay Pacific Cinemas, as long as DreamWorks can operate normally, it is the best film source warehouse for Cathay Pacific. Now that the struggle between DreamWorks and Princess Jin has finally become clear, the Nanyang Cathay Pacific Cinema Line immediately sent someone to contact Kang Jianfei, and also sent Lu Yuntao's grand-niece-in-law, which shows that he attaches great importance to DreamWorks.

Song Dechao lives in Singapore all year round. Cantonese is very smooth. After shaking hands with Kang Jianfei, he smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated Mr. Kang yet. Now I have become a prince in the Hong Kong film industry."

Kang Jianfei said humbly: "The princes can't talk about it, they are just eating, but they are not as solid as the Cathay Pacific Cinema, and they will rely on Mr. Song to support them in the future."

"Mr. Kang is too modest." Song Dechao smiled.

Between the two talking. Ma Qiao also came to the reception room.

Kang Jianfei introduced: "Mr. Song, this is Ma Qiao, the operation director of DreamWorks. You can talk to him about the specific cooperation matters."

"Hello, Mr. Ma." Song Dechao politely stood up and shook hands with Ma Qiao.

Kang Jianfei chatted with Song Dechao for a while, then looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Song, I have to say goodbye in advance. You can talk to Ma Qiao about cooperation."

Song Dechao nodded and said, "Mr. Kang, please."

Kang Jianfei left the company and drove towards the airport. After shooting in Hong Kong for a few days, I have been shooting in Hai.Nan. Today is the day when the crew returns, and Kang Jianfei is going to drive to pick up Zhong Chuhong.

The career needs to develop, and the girl needs to soak up, otherwise it will be boring to just make money.

Not long after driving on the road, Kang Jianfei saw an electrical appliance store beside the road full of people. He found a random place to park, and crowded there to watch the fun.

Kang Jianfei was not someone who was watching the fun for no reason. He probably guessed what these people were watching, and he got out of the car just to verify his guess.

Kang Jianfei walked out of the crowd. He was relatively tall and could see what was inside when he stood on tiptoe.

I saw three consecutive rows of TVs on one shelf of the store. All the TVs were on, and all were watching Phoenix Chinese.

A beautiful hostess on the TV said, holding a microphone with the Phoenix TV logo in her hand: "Audience friends, this is the news that Phoenix TV brought back from the streets of Beijing. You can see behind me, the British Prime Minister. It is very likely that Mrs Thatcher passed through this street. The street is undergoing another major cleaning. Tomorrow, security will definitely be strengthened here... It is five o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be the rush hour in Beijing/Beijing later. , everyone can see the magnificent scene of the bicycle sea. Now let's interview ordinary passers-by in Beijing..."

This time, the Sino-British negotiation has attracted great attention from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and major newspapers have reported on the matter half a month in advance.

But in the past, those reports were either buying news from major news agencies, or reviewing history and doing commentary reports. Only Phoenix Chinese Channel was willing to send a team of reporters to Beijing/Beijing to do reports and interviews.

"That's Beijing/Beijing. The building doesn't look tall, but the road is wide."

"There are also few cars. Mainlanders are too poor to buy cars."

"Dress like a countryman, and have never seen the world."

"Tian. Why didn't I see the Red Guards holding the red treasure book in front of the Anmen Gate?"

"Look, there are several liberation/army forces over there."

"It's a movie theater. Mainlanders can't even get enough to eat, yet they can still watch movies."

"You forgot that the mainland paid for it?"

"..."

Listening to the discussion in the store ~lightnovelpub.net~ Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing.

The audience in front of them were obviously passers-by attracted by TV programs. Their attention proved that Phoenix TV's program was a great success.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about the program broadcast at this time. It is just to take pictures of the streets and citizens of Beijing and introduce the situation. The program was filmed yesterday, and then flew back to Hong Kong overnight for editing. Today, it will be broadcast on Phoenix Chinese and English channels during the day.

But these ordinary Beijing street scenes and passers-by have made countless Hong Kong citizens curious, because most of them are seeing the real Beijing for the first time.

Seeing that more and more people were coming around, Kang Jianfei returned to his car with satisfaction, and thought with a wicked taste in his heart: I don't know if the wireless station has received any news, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua must not look good. .
