Kang Jianfei casually ordered a cup of black tea, sat down and said, "Lao Xu, we meet again." ”

Xu Ke listened to Kang Jianfei's affectionate shouting, and suddenly he was a little unaccustomed to it, and then nodded and said, "The afternoon tea here is good." ”

"It's great, so I come here often," Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "How are you doing lately?" I haven't seen much of your filmography in the past few months. ”

"It's okay." Xu Ke reluctantly smiled and said that since he directed "Difficult Brothers" for Xinyicheng, he has not held a guide tube for more than half a year.

Kang Jianfei pretended to sigh: "The development of the new art city is really fast, and I heard that it has also opened a branch in Taiwan. ”

Xu Ke said in surprise: "The decision that Xinyicheng just made, I didn't expect Mr. Kang to have received the news. ”

"I call you Lao Xu, and you call Mr. Kang more points." Kang Jianfei laughed.

Xu Ke suddenly didn't know what to call Kang Jianfei, calling Ah Fei and Feizi was too frivolous and disrespectful, and it was even more impossible to call Fei Ge, so he thought for a long time and said, "Then I'll shout Jian Fei." ”

Rub, this is so awkward, is it cheap to fly?

Kang Jianfei drank black tea and said: "Zhang Aijia is still very capable, and she will definitely do a good job if she is in charge of the Taiwan affairs of Xinyi City." ”

Xu Ke nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Aijia is very powerful, she can be a producer and director, and she can also make music." ”

Neither of them was in a hurry, and they hadn't gotten to the point after hundreds of circles. It wasn't until the afternoon tea was cold that Kang Jianfei said, "Are you interested in coming to DreamWorks?" ”

Xu Ke asked rhetorically: "Have you found DreamWorks' cinema line?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "If the problem is not solved, I will not have the leisure to sit here and have afternoon tea with you." ”

In fact, Lei Juekun's sudden disconnection of the DreamWorks cinema line made Kang Jianfei depressed for a long time, but he never worried about it. DreamWorks' films have always been very popular, so there is no need to worry about no theaters at all, Kang Jianfei ran out and raised his arms, and many theater companies responded-although they are all second- and third-rate movie theaters.

Huang Baiming, who was in the parallel space, withdrew from the New Art City after falling out with Mecca and others. At that time, he didn't even have a serious company, and just with the ability he had shown before, he set up a theater line alive. Kang Jianfei guards the company DreamWorks, and is confident that he will not do worse than Huang Baiming.

Of course, Huang Baiming's cinema chain lost more than 100 million yuan in three years, and Kang Jianfei did not dare to directly cooperate with the cinema company to form his own cinema chain, but conservatively adopted the temporary cinema strategy.

Xu Ke was very interested in how Kang Jianfei dealt with Lei Juekun, and asked, "Is that the new era cinema you told reporters?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Tomorrow you will know the Dao." ”

Xu Ke coughed and said, "Jian Fei, in fact, I have gained quite a lot from working in Xinyi City, and I don't want to leave there for the time being." ”

Xu Ke's words can be said to be half true and half false, he has indeed made great gains in the past two years in Xinyi City. In the past, Xu Ke had good film art attainments, but his grasp of the commercial box office was insufficient. Whether he is a director, producer, or screenwriter in Xinyi City, Xu Ke's film business talent has been greatly exercised.

Although he has gained a lot and learned a lot from Mecca, Huang Baiming and others, Xu Ke has not been doing well in Xinyicheng.

Mecca and Huang Baiming are both capable and assertive characters, but Xu Ke is also this kind of person. It's good if they are equal, everyone can improve each other in the argument, and they can also improve the production standard of the movie. But the problem is that Mecca and Huang Baiming are the owners of Xinyi City, and Xu Ke is just a wage earner, every time the two sides disagree, Xu Ke can only obey Mecca and Huang Baiming's orders and abandon his ideas.

After a long time, the depression accumulated in Xu Ke's heart can be imagined.

Kang Jianfei knew that it might be a little difficult to recruit directly, and asked with a smile: "Lao Xu, have you ever thought about being a film studio?" ”

Xu Ke really became interested and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "The film studio is only responsible for producing the film, you come up with a complete film plan, and DreamWorks can be responsible for providing the funding, manpower and equipment, and taking care of the distribution of the film. ”

Xu Ke asked, "In other words, the filmmaking is completely up to me?" ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "Yes, DreamWorks only has the right to make suggestions during the film production process, and you are the one who makes the final decision, and you have the final say when editing." ”

Xu Ke's suggestion from the film studio made Xu Ke quite tempted, what he lacked was funds and publicity and distribution capabilities, and these dream factories could solve it for him. And his best film production, Kang Jianfei promised not to interfere, which fully met Xu Ke's requirements.

In fact, Xu Ke's promotion to super director came after the hit of "Best Partner 3".

At this time, Xu Ke's status in the film industry is only higher than Gao Zhisen, and he is at the same level as Chen Xunqi. Kang Jianfei proposed to help Xu Ke set up a film studio, which was very elevating him.

Perhaps because the conditions were too generous, Xu Ke asked: "How do you do it, and how does the box office divide it?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "The studio is yours, and you can solve the usual administrative expenses by yourself." DreamWorks will invest in the production funds, as well as the manpower and equipment you do based on the film planning you do. The copyright of the film is owned by DreamWorks, and as for the final box office distribution of the film, we can talk about it slowly. ”

Xu Ke asked: "If the film is made, will my director, screenwriter, and producer's remuneration be included in the production cost of the film, or will it be included in the studio's expenses?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Included in the cost of the movie, that is, in addition to the box office, you also have additional job income. ”

Xu Ke became more and more satisfied, and said: "Can the film studio get a box office of 10?" ”

"Yes," Kang Jianfei changed his words, "but only the local box office in Hong Kong, the studio can score 10, and I will only give you 5 for the box office in other cities in Asia." As for Europe, the United States and Australia, if it can be sold there, the studio can only get 2. ”

"Then it's decided!" Xu Ke directly agreed.

The funds and manpower are all Kang Jianfeifei, and he is also responsible for the distribution of the film, which is a sure-fire business for Xu Ke, and he is a fool if he doesn't agree.

Kang Jianfei didn't shake hands with Xu Ke, but said, "I have one more request." ”

Xu Ke smiled and said, "You say." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "If the budget is seriously overrun or the box office is too big during the filming process, your film studio will not get a penny." ”

The smile on Xu Ke's face froze, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, you are the gold master." If the box office hits the streets, I don't have the face to ask for a share of the box office, and I won't even ask for the director's remuneration. ”

Kang Jianfei shook hands with Xu Ke and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!" Xu Ke is full of confidence.

Why was Kang Jianfei optimistic about Xu Ke and did not set up a film studio to retain Chen Xunqi?

To put it bluntly, if Xu Ke didn't have a fiancée named Shi Nansheng, Kang Jianfei wouldn't pay attention to him. Chen Xunqi and Xu Ke are both people with outstanding film skills, but they are not good at managing company affairs. With Shi Nansheng as Xu Ke's gatekeeper, Xu Ke's film studio will do it for a long time, and it will not burn money indiscriminately.

…………

…………

The next morning's "Oriental Rì Daily", the headline of the entertainment section was full of gunpowder "Kang Jianfei's counterattack - Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng switched to DreamWorks".

As soon as the news came out, the Hong Kong film industry became lively again.

Shao Yifu watched the tiger fight from the other mountain, Zou Wenhuai also sat on the side to watch the show, and Lei Juekun was on fire, eager to strangle Kang Jianfei to death.

It doesn't matter if Xu Ke is gone, at most, there is a lack of excellent directors and producers, but Shi Nansheng is the big housekeeper of the new art city. Shi Nansheng is in charge of the administration and part of the production work, and her departure directly paralyzed the operation of the new art city.

In the afternoon of the same day, Kang Jianfei held a press conference to announce the establishment of Xu Ke Film Studio by Oriental DreamWorks, with Xu Ke as the studio's production director and Shi Nansheng as the studio's director.

The film studio is still very rare in the Hong Kong film industry. It's a bit like a satellite company on Golden Harvest's side, but it's not specifically registered, it's just a special division of DreamWorks, and at the same time it has a high degree of dúlìxìng.

Two days ago, Kang Jianfei was forced to retreat, and his two generals, Chen Xunqi and Gao Zhisen, were poached by Lei Juekun. In the blink of an eye, Xu Ke in the core creative team of the new art city went to Dreamworks, and even took the big housekeeper of the new art city away, which simply blinded the eyes of countless onlookers.

Kang Jianfei's hand is too ruthless!

Before people could come out of the shock of the incident, the promotion of "Happy Campus" began again. And Kang Jianfei also released his words, saying that if the box office of "Happy Campus" can exceed 8 million, then the "Happy Ghost" series will be directed by McDonald Jie in the future.

The subconscious meaning of this statement is that it doesn't matter if you go to Gao Zhisen, DreamWorks' talent pool is very rich.

When "Happy Campus" was hyped, countless people asked, where is the theater for this movie?

Soon Jiang Zhiqiang stood up and gave them the answer, with Anle's four large theaters as the leading theaters, and the new era cinema line jointly established by more than a dozen small theaters was officially announced.

Under the New Era Cinema Line, there are a total of 21 cinemas and 27 canvases. Although most of its theaters are a little shabby, we have to admit that the New Era Cinema Line has become the fifth largest cinema chain after Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Yindu.

The vast majority of people in the media and film circles admire Kang Jianfei's ability and determination. Because he was surrounded by Lei Juekun, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, not only was he not defeated, but calmly made a countermeasure.

As long as he can survive the current hurdle, Kang Jianfei will become a movie giant who can compete with several other tycoons, and everyone seems to be witnessing the rise of another film tycoon in Hong Kong.
