Kang Jianfei slept on the plane for more than ten hours, and when he opened his eyes, he was already over Hong Kong. [;Starting]

Last night, Guan Zhilin "searched for her own dead end", and was obsessed with Kang Jianfei for a night. When Kang Jianfei left, she still slept like a dead pig, and she didn't even go to the airport to see him off.

With the rapid development of Hong Kong films in the past two years, the release schedules of Hong Kong films have become more and more finely divided. For example, in the previous Christmas stalls, some theaters started in early December, and some theaters started showing directly from Christmas.

Last year and this year, several major cinema chains in Hong Kong have conventionally positioned their Christmas stalls to start on December 22, and all blockbusters are scheduled to be released around the 22nd. Until January 5th, the Christmas season was basically over, and immediately began to rank those next-level movies.

The Spring Festival file starts on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Kitchen King Festival, and many units and companies start their holiday on this day.

Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong on January 19, 1983, just in the buffer period between Christmas and Spring Festival.

In the past Christmas stall, the competition among several major film companies was not fierce. Perhaps because of the slump in Hong Kong's property market and stock market in the second half of last year, the socio-economic environment was affected. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Art City all gave up their Christmas stalls and did not prepare any blockbusters for release.

In addition to DreamWorks, the most notable thing about Christmas is the second film after the establishment of the Silver Metropolis. The film was shot by independent director Weng Weiquan, who went north to Xinjiang and cooperated with the mainland. The live scenes of deserts and grasslands brought some small surprises to Hong Kong audiences. It's a pity that the content is too bad. With the support of Yindu Cinema, it only got a box office of over 1 million.

In addition, Wang Jinghui filmed it at Shaw Brothers. It was filmed in a rough and rough manner, and it actually won more than 3.6 million box office. Let Shaw make a small profit.

On the contrary, director Wu Ma and starring Hong Jinbao won the box office of 10 million in one fell swoop. If it weren't for DreamWorks, it would have been the biggest winner in last year's Christmas season.

The funniest film released by Xinyicheng at Christmas is actually a so-called youth romance film, which barely earned 2.6 million at the box office.

It is in this environment that there is almost no pressure to dominate the Christmas stall.

Although it grossed only $14.9 million in North America. It's less than half of it, but overall it's a pretty good deal.

And this film is put in Hong Kong, starring Lin Qingxia, shooting overseas, and a super high production cost of 13 million Hong Kong dollars. These elements alone are enough to attract Hong Kong audiences to buy tickets.

When Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, he just finished the painting, and the box office in Hong Kong sold a full 18.54 million. Only in terms of the local box office. Naturally, it has to lose money, but DreamWorks made a profit with just one US box office, not to mention the vast Asian market.

The super-selling of the movie not only proves that DreamWorks has the ability to be independent from the Golden Princess Cinema, but also marks that the New Era Cinema has become another cinema giant after Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Golden Princess.

He commented: "This strange cinema chain in the new era. After the addition of Taiping Cinema and Queen Cinema, the strength has greatly increased, and the source of films has become more and more abundant. In terms of the box office strength of the cinema chain, the new era cinema chain has surpassed The Shaw Brothers Cinemas are on a par with the Golden Harvest Cinemas... But the strange thing is that no one knows who the proprietors of the Taiping Theatre and the Queen's Theatre are."

The hot show in Hong Kong also instantly made the actor Zhen Zidan popular. The sharp punches and the cold and handsome appearance attracted countless attention at once, and even some newspapers praised them without hesitation, saying that Zhen Zidan is expected to become "Bruce Bruce No. 2".

…………

"Drink...drink..."

Zhen Zidan punched the paper pad on the wall. Exhausted and sweaty, I ran to take a shower and have breakfast.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Zhen Zidan used hair wax to make his short hair stand up, put on a leather jacket, and put on the sunglasses bought on the carpet two days ago before going out.

When they came downstairs and met a few women in the movie, Zhen Zidan held his head up in a reserved manner, only waiting for the other party to recognize him before reluctantly signing his autograph.

It's a pity that the movie has already fallen to the bottom, but the women only regarded him as air, and left as soon as the elevator door opened.

"Could it be that I wasn't recognized because I was wearing sunglasses?" Zhen Zidan thought a little depressedly, and took off the sunglasses and inserted them into the collar of his sweater.

Since it was released in Hong Kong, it has been praised by many media. Zhen Zidan was already a little flirtatious.

In fact, this is also a normal reaction. Zhen Zidan has been in DreamWorks for more than a year. For the first six months, he has been playing a role as a passerby. He filmed for two months in the middle, and then played various small supporting roles for six months.

Due to the long absence from the release, Zhen Zidan's running is almost moldy, and he even had the idea of ​​returning to the United States several times. Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly became a big seller in Hong Kong and the United States. Zhen Zidan transformed from a small actor to a popular kung fu star. How can he maintain his normal heart?

Going out to stop a taxi, Zhen Zidan sat on it and said to the driver, "Go to the DreamWorks headquarters!"

Oriental DreamWorks is now the most profitable film company in Hong Kong, and its headquarters is well known, so the driver turned around and headed for DreamWorks.

Zhen Zidan sat in the car for several minutes before he heard the driver ask, "Sir, are you playing Zhen Zidan?"

"Yeah." Zhen Zidan was proud, but his face was still cool, barely showing a smile.

The driver said in admiration, "Wow, your legs are really good, and you can play as good as Bruce Lee."

Zhen Zidan said proudly: "I am also a Chinese American, and I have admired Bruce Lee since I was a child."

"I like Bruce Lee too, but I'm a fan of yours now," the driver said with a smile. "It's a rare coincidence. You can get me an autograph when you get off the bus."

Zhen Zidan held the signature pen in his jacket. He said coolly, "No problem."

After getting out of the car and signing for the driver, Zhen Zidan looked at the car parked under the company building and the taxi he took when he came, thinking that it was time for him to buy one.

In the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles in the early 1980s, there were no special entertainment brokerage companies, and even most stars did not even have serious brokers. Basically, relatives and friends help with film appointments and announcements. For example, in the first few years of Lin Qingxia's debut, it was entirely her mother who was a guest agent and assistant.

If it were replaced after 2000, a star like Zhen Zidan who suddenly became popular would have been qualified for the company to arrange assistants and agents for him, and even apply for a special car for some special occasions.

It's a pity that it's still the 1980s, and "big star" Zhen Zidan can only take care of himself.

"Morning Danny!"

"Danny Boy is here."

"Hello Dan."

"..."

Once in the company. Many people greeted.

These greetings were quite useful to Zhen Zidan. He held his head high and showed a cold face, and walked over with a slight smile, like a lion patrolling his territory.

After Zhen Zidan left, the person who greeted him just now started to speak ill of him.

"This poor boy is so arrogant. You don't even look at people when you greet him."

"Yeah, it's amazing to think you're red."

"Brother Fa and Sister Qingxia are so popular, they joke with us every time they meet."

"I don't think this kid will be popular for a long time, and he is not eye-catching at all."

"..."

Zhen Zidan naturally didn't know what was being said about him behind his back, he only knew that he was popular, and he was very respected and welcomed by everyone in the company.

Outside the artist department, Zhen Zidan was stopped by Zhang Guozhong's secretary: "Danny, the manager is in a meeting, you don't have to go to his office. By the way, the contract exchange is postponed. The company has decided otherwise."

"Another decision?" Zhen Zidan was stunned for a moment. He came today to change a new contract, what does it mean for him not to change for the time being?

When Zhen Zidan was thinking wildly, in an office of DreamWorks, Kang Jianfei was having a meeting with the company's major presidents and managers.

After announcing the company's earnings last year, as well as the dividends and bonuses for everyone present, Kang Jianfei began to talk about the topic: "I have a plan to split the artist department of DreamWorks and merge it with the artist management department of Fengxing Records and Phoenix TV. , and set up an independent entertainment agency."

Everyone in the room didn't know what it meant, and no one informed anyone about Kang Jianfei's decision in advance. I was completely confused by what he said about the plan.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Kang Jianfei explained: "The reason for this is to avoid duplication and waste of resources. After integrating the artist departments of DreamWorks, Phoenix TV and Popular Records, we can allocate artist resources more efficiently and reasonably. Second, Make artist packaging, promotion, and training more professional, learn from Hollywood, and improve the establishment of a training system for star artists and behind-the-scenes employees. Third, after the company's artists are separated, it can greatly reduce the administrative expenses of DreamWorks."

Ma Qiao, Pan Yingzi, Zhou Mingfang, and a whole bunch of department managers looked at each other. Kang Jianfei is the sole proprietor of DreamWorks. Now that a decision has been made, the part-time workers can only obey.

Pan Yingzi smiled tentatively and said, "The artist department has been demolished, and the production department has Zeng Zhiwei to take care of it. I, the vice president of film and television, have nothing to do."

"You're busy enough," said Kang Jianfei with a smile. "In the future, all the film and television contracts of DreamWorks will be handed over to Vice President Zhou Mingfang, and Pan Yingzi will be the head of the newly established brokerage company. Join the new company, and there are also some people from Popular Records and Phoenix Television who want to join the new company. You can get in touch with each other to get acquainted with each other. I hope that the new company will officially open after the Spring Festival. "

"Then I don't care about the film company?" Pan Yingzi was a little bit reluctant to hold the 3% stake in DreamWorks.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I guess you will be too busy at the new company, how can you still have time to care about DreamWorks?"

Zeng Zhiwei looked at Kang Jianfei eagerly. Pan Yingzi, the vice president of film and television, was gone, and the artist department was gone. He, the production manager, didn't know who was in charge.

Kang Jianfei continued: "In addition, I announced the cancellation of the employee's film bonus and changed it to a bonus system at the end of the year. The bonus depends on the company's profitability and employee performance. As for the production department, Phoenix TV's TV drama and variety show production department will be transferred to DreamWorks, Zeng Zhiwei. Continue to manage the film production department, and McDonald's will manage the TV production department. That is to say. In the future, the production department of DreamWorks will be divided into two, including the film production department and the TV production department."

"The production department of the TV station joined DreamWorks?" The office was full of shock, not knowing what Kang Jianfei was thinking.

"As for the new vice president of film and television," Kang Jianfei glanced at everyone, "she won't come to the company until after the Spring Festival. I think everyone has heard of her. It's Tang Shuxuan who was filmed before."

Zeng Zhiwei originally fantasized about being the vice president of film and television, but as soon as the name Tang Shuxuan came out, he knew that he was out of play. When Tang Shuxuan's film won an award in France, Zeng Zhiwei just joined Liu's class as a dragon and tiger martial artist.

However, Tang Shuxuan immigrated to the United States early. God knows how Kang Jianfei tricked people into returning to Hong Kong.

The fact is very simple, Tang Shuxuan immigrated to the United States. The main reason is that the films she made were banned by the British Hong Kong government. Now that the British Hong Kong government has relaxed the censorship of the film, and Tang Shuxuan was deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei's talent (shooting in 11 days), as soon as Kang Jianfei sent an invitation, Tang Shuxuan agreed without thinking much.

Kang Jianfei said: "This time, all departments have made great adjustments. Let's go down and coordinate with each other to avoid omissions and frictions in future work. By the way, Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong will stay!"

After everyone else had finished, Kang Jianfei said to Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong: "The newly established brokerage company, I am going to call it Oriental Entertainment Company, is currently in the process of registration, and it will be approved in a few days. Oriental Entertainment Company There are two main functions: one is to train, package and promote artists, I will also transfer the Phoenix training class of Phoenix TV to the new company; the other is to arrange the artist's performance activities, including recommending its artists to other film companies to receive the show, United Records organizes concerts for singers, etc."

Pan Yingzi still couldn't help but say, "I don't think it's necessary to open another company, right?"

"Don't think that the entertainment agency is so simple. One day even Xinyicheng and Jiahe will go to the Oriental Entertainment Company to invite actors. You are the real success." Kang Jianfei threw a file bag to Pan Yingzi, "This is It was me who formulated the development strategy in combination with some entertainment agencies in Hollywood and Japan. You can take a look at it first, and then ask me if you don’t understand. In the past, the regulations of the artist department of DreamWorks were very rough, and the income sharing ratio of all actors was similar. First of all, you must formulate a clear star level, and you must have a very clear idea of ​​how to package the stars of which level. According to the resources invested in the artist, rationally allocate the relationship between the artist, the agent, and the brokerage company. Dividing accounts. Every artist who debuts must have his own manager, and the manager must be responsible for the artists under him..."

Kang Jianfei said a lot, Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong listened thoughtfully.

Wait for Kang Jianfei to finish speaking. Zhang Guozhong reminded: "Boss, DreamWorks' actor income share is now the highest in Hong Kong. After the establishment of the star system, the income of most artists will drop~lightnovelpub.net~ This may cause their dissatisfaction."

"You also know that DreamWorks actors have the highest share of accounts. If those actors feel that their income is less, they can go to other companies," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "and as long as you do your job well, the popular actors will only earn more. Young actors can also have more opportunities to stand out, what else can they say?"

Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong looked at each other and both smiled bitterly, the task given to them by Kang Jianfei was too heavy.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and then said: "By the way, I plan to hire a few professionals from the United States and Japan to help in the company to help you cultivate, package, and promote artists. Then you will learn a little more. To be honest, run to Go around Hollywood and you will find that the development of artists here in Hong Kong is too primitive.”

After dispatching Pan Yingzi and Zhang Guozhong, Kang Jianfei called Huang Xizhao again and asked, "Mr. Huang, have you figured it out? Transfer the TV series and variety show production department to DreamWorks."

"The artist department is taken away, the production department is also taken away, and the TV station is only an empty shell." Huang Xizhao sighed, but he did not object to this incident.
