Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Two hundred and fifty-six [beautiful gir

When Li's TV ratings continued to decline, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were probably the happiest.

It's a pity to see that in the first half of last year, TVB was so overwhelmed by LiTV that it couldn't hold its head up. The TVB's big dramas were continuously cut in half due to the low ratings.

Just when TVB was struggling, the major shareholder of Lishi actually failed to invest in Canada and sold all of its shares to three Australian companies. And the three new Australian shareholders are also lovely. They began to dictate the management and production of the TV station. Now they have forced Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui, the two veterans of the show, to leave.

The tvb, which was overwhelmed by the storm just a moment ago, was bathed in the bright sunshine in a blink of an eye, which was a blessing.

Kang Jianfei could not influence the resolution of the board of directors, but he did not propose to withdraw his shares, as if he was an irrelevant bystander.

However, the choice of McDonald's made Kang Jianfei very satisfied. In the following period, screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan, director and producer McDonald's, director Li Dawei, director Huang Tailai and others joined Oriental DreamWorks successively.

The other two of Li's Three Heroes, Tu Yongxiong joined Golden Harvest Films, and Li Zhaoxiong and his wife collectively switched to TVB.

The arrival of so many people at once has greatly enriched the creative talents of Oriental DreamWorks, but Zhou Mingfang is quite critical of this, thinking that it is a little urgent to recruit so many directors and screenwriters at once, which will increase the company's administrative expenses. .

McDonald's moved the fastest, and sent the script to Kang Jianfei in less than half a month. By the way, he also brought the script's screenwriter Wen Jun with him.

In Kang Jianfei's office, McDonald's and Wen Jun were a little nervous sitting opposite Kang Jianfei, for fear that the script for the literary film they had come up with would be shot.

The script Kang Jianfei is currently in his hands was written by Wen Jun.

In the parallel space, the script held by McDonald's has found a lot of people but failed to get investment. In the end, it was favored by Zhucheng Film Company, which has always been fond of making literary films. Zhucheng Film Company and McDonald's Production Company jointly Produced.

It is this movie that made Wen Bixia, who ran away from home and hung out on the streets, become famous, and also made the starring Lin Biqi an unrepeatable miracle in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards - Lin Biqi is the youngest actress in the Hong Kong Film Awards. And she only made this movie in her life, and she turned down all kinds of film appointments to get married.

Now Zhucheng Pictures has long ceased to exist. I am afraid that, except for Kang Jianfei, no one will invest in McDonald's to make literary films.

In fact, it is not a pure literary film at all, and its commercial atmosphere is very strong, but it is more concerned with social reality than other Hong Kong films.

McDonald's originally wanted to start a film company by himself. He once went to find He Guanchang in private, but unfortunately He Guanchang rejected the script after reading it, so McDonald's had to run back and join DreamWorks.

For fear that Kang Jianfei would also refuse. McDonald's explained: "Mr. Kang. The story is based on West German films. The background of the era and the mentality of the characters are completely Hong Kongized, so as to reflect the depravity of teenage Hong Kong girls, and describe how they do not like to read, and they are reduced to a romantic place. In the middle of selling the color to make money..."

Kang Jianfei interrupted him and said, "Do you think such a movie will be a hit in Hong Kong?"

McDonald's heart skipped a beat. Thinking that Kang Jianfei was going to refuse the casting, he continued: "I think there is a market for such a movie in Hong Kong, it just depends on how it is made. I am going to use all the main actors in it to recruit newcomers and present them in a completely real documentary. Give the audience a kind of shock that they can feel the same way. Moreover, the investment of such a film is very small, even less than 1 million yuan, but it can create a social sensation and has a great chance of selling."

Kang Jianfei did not continue to talk about the matter, but smiled and said to Wen Jun, "Why does this screenwriter keep silent?"

In his last life, Kang Jianfei was really fond of Wen Jun's name. He is a screenwriter, director, producer and actor, and he has also served as the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards. He brought out the **** goddess Shu Qi.

Maybe mainland movie fans are still unfamiliar with Wen Jun, but the series he wrote must be well known, and He is also the producer of this person. Not to mention the popular one.

Kang Jianfei also heard an anecdote, that is, when Ang Lee was filming, the heroine was originally Shu Qi. It's a pity that Wen Jun wanted to make quick money from Shu Qi, so he turned down Li An's invitation to let Shu Qi shoot an advertisement, and in the end, Zhang Ziyi was cheaper.

Wen Jun is only a novice screenwriter and has only written some film reviews before. Where can I have the opportunity to communicate with the big boss of a film company like Kang Jianfei? He smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Kang, it's not that I don't talk, it's just that I can't get in on the business of the two of you."

Kang Jianfei flipped through the script and said, "Why can't you talk about the script you wrote?"

Wen Jun thought for a while and said, "Mr. Kang, I actually think this kind of film is very popular in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, comedy films and action films are big fish and big meat, and literary films are vegetables and radishes. It will get tired, if we cook the green vegetables and radishes well, it can also become a delicious vegetarian feast."

Kang Jianfei was a little amused when he heard this, and asked with a smile, "How to cook it?"

Wen Jun said: "First of all, this vegetarian dish should be a little oily. The audience in Hong Kong is not used to the kind of vegetarian dish that doesn't have any meat and smell, and they will never like that kind of pure art film. Like director Xu Anhua's He, it is added in it. It has a lot of commercial elements, and the rhythm is much faster than that of European art films, because the Hong Kong audience is not patient enough.”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "It's interesting, let's continue."

With Kang Jianfei's affirmation, Wen Jun also put down his restraint and talked eloquently: "Also, this dish should not be too bland, Hong Kong audiences will definitely not be able to watch the mysterious and imaginary literary film in France, and the Taiwanese kind of castle in the air. Not many Hong Kong audiences like romantic literary films. To make a literary film in Hong Kong, first of all, there must be a Hong Kong flavor, and the audience must feel that it is a story that happened around them when they see it, in order to resonate with them. And the story must be strong, in the To make a literary film in Hong Kong, without the support of kung fu and comedy, it can only rely on the story and emotion as a selling point. We can go back to the past to see that all the literary and artistic films that sold well in Hong Kong have a very strong story, and the scripts are all excellent works. ."

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "Yours too?"

Wen Jun said: "This script has a very complete story, and it has beautiful girls as a selling point. The audience is aimed at the mainstream audience of Hong Kong movies, that is, the youth group, and its attention to reality will also attract many people. Adult audience."

Kang Jianfei said, "The analysis makes sense. What else have you done besides being a screenwriter?"

Wen Jun also relaxed at this time and said, "I am one of the main film critic writers, and I used to write film reviews often."

"I see," Kang Jianfei asked. "Are you interested in working at DreamWorks?"

"what?"

Wen Jun and Madang Xiong cried out in surprise at the same time. They came in to convince Kang Jianfei to invest in the filming, but Kang Jianfei put the script aside and instead recruited the screenwriter.

Wen Jun was naturally willing to join a big company like DreamWorks, but after being stunned for a while, he nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Kang Jianfei returned the script to McDonald's and said, "I can invest in the movie, but a few female lead actors choose me to call the shots."

The original intention of McDonald's is to use all new characters, so that the film will appear more real. But since Kang Jianfei is going for the casting rights, he can no longer argue, he can only nod his head and say, "Mr. Kang, tell me."

Kang Jianfei said, "Li Yanshan will play the female lead, Wen Bixia will play the female lead, and Li Meifeng will play the female lead. As for the female lead, you can find someone by yourself."

McDonald's was stunned for a moment, then Yixi. The three Kang Jianfei mentioned were all members of the Happy Girls Group. Since the release of the MV record last year, the Happy Girls Group has long become a super idol of Hong Kong's teenage girls. With three girls joining in, this drama can attract attention even before it is filmed.

McDonald's Xiongqiang resisted his excitement and asked tentatively, "Mr. Kang, what do you think of having Li Dawei directing this film?"

Li Dawei is a disciple of McDonald's, and Kang Jianfei didn't ask any further questions. He said, "Yes, you can be the producer of this movie. I will only give you 1 million. The crew members can be chosen by you at DreamWorks."

"Thank you, Mr. Kang for your support!" McDonald put away the script~lightnovelpub.net~ After repeatedly thanking him, he and Wen Jun left the office together.

Although Li Yanshan, Wen Bixia and Li Meifeng are all well paid, but they belong to the company's investment, so naturally they don't need to pay such a high salary. Because they don't need to be drawn from their own company's dramas, in fact, actors are more cost-effective than taking dramas outside.

And the madness of McDonald's filming can save a lot of budget for the film, and the investment of 1 million is more than enough.

When McDonald's was filming at Lizzie, he didn't even go to the police station to apply for it, he just shot the actor on the street with blood all over his body and driving rampage. What's more, he dared to drive directly to the Mong Kok Police Station, and took his team around the police station for half an hour to shoot. , completely overwhelmed, foolishly slipped out of the back door by them.

During the filming, McDonnell threw the child into the swimming pool to make him struggle and almost drown the child; for the filming, when he was waiting for the train to come, he suddenly turned on the lights and threw the "corpse" over, scaring the driver to brake and the train almost derailed. ;Wang Zhong jumped from the crane, causing the alarm bell of Ocean Park to ring...

Kang Jianfei is looking forward to what kind of tricks this fellow producer can come up with. ()
