Dreams of the Fragrant River - Chapter 49

: Forty-Nine [Unsolicited]

After lunch, Kang Jianfei sorted out the materials, and when it was almost three o’clock, he said to Hu Juncai, “Acai, bring the film and go out with me!”

“Oh.” Hu Juncai obeyed Kang Jianfei’s words and did not ask where he was going. He followed Kang Jianfei with the samples.

Wu Chenggang asked, “Ah Fei, are you still going to find Lei Juekun?”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “Although I didn’t find anyone in the morning, I got news that Lei Juekun made an appointment with a few people this afternoon.”

“Do you want me to help?” Wu Chenggang asked.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, “No, it’s enough to have Ah Cai acting.”

Kang Jianfei took Hu Juncai to the headquarters of the Kowloon Bus Group. After taking the elevator to the sixth floor, Kang Jianfei took the film from Hu Juncai, patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s time to test your acting skills, there is a corner over there. Have you seen it? You used to go crazy, you must attract the attention of others. On the left is the writing hall, and on the right is Lei Jue Kun’s office. There is an assistant secretary blocking it. Bring it out to me. This is a little toothpaste I prepared for you, you use your mouth as a prop.”

It was the first time that Hu Juncai did such a thing, and he felt a little nervous. He rubbed toothpaste on his teeth with his fingers a few times, and white foam immediately overflowed between his lips. Then he walked to the office next to Lei Juekun’s office door, and fell to the ground suddenly.

“Bang!” There was a loud noise.

Hu Juncai’s height is close to 1.8 meters. In addition, he has eaten well in Hong Kong for three months. He has grown quite strong, and fell to the ground with an astonishing force. This kid rolled his eyes, kept pulling out his hands and feet, and with the foam between his mouth, his acting skills could almost be the best actor.

There were several reels of film in one sample. Kang Jianfei took off his jacket to cover the sample, and then shouted loudly, “Come on, someone is going crazy, help!”

“Where is the help?”

“In the aisle outside, go out and have a look.”

“Oh, it’s really crazy, my uncle is the same as when he got sick!”

“Hurry up and call the ambulance.”

“…”

Just as the employees of the Kowloon Bus Group gathered to watch, Kang Jianfei had unknowingly arrived outside Lei Juekun’s office and kept shouting, “Help me, someone is going crazy!”

In less than a minute, Lei Juekun’s assistant secretary couldn’t help pushing the door open and asked in a low voice with an angry face, “What’s going on outside, the chairman is talking about important matters, so be quiet for me!”

Kang Jianfei pulled the assistant and said, “Sir, go and see, people are going to die. I heard that people who die from epilepsy will become ghosts. If they can’t be saved, this building will become a haunted house. !”

Hong Kong people are quite superstitious. Five years ago, there was a 1,300-seat large movie theater in Wanchai called Dongcheng Cinema. It was because of rumors that it was haunted that this movie theater was shut down.

The assistant secretary panicked when he heard the word “Haunted House”, and hurriedly went over to the onlookers and said, “Hurry up and take him out. If he wants to die, let him die outside…”

When the assistant secretary spoke, Kang Jianfei had already entered Lei Jue Kun’s office.

The office is divided into several floors, the outermost is where the assistant secretary stays, and the inside is a hall with a few paintings hanging, and the corner of the inside is where Lei Juekun’s office is.

Kang Jianfei walked in like this, only to find that there were three other people in the office besides Lei Juekun.

The three people Kang Jianfei are very familiar with are the three veterans of Xinyi City: Mecca, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian.

No, it will take at least half a year before the establishment of Xinyi City. How come these three people are connected with Lei Juekun? Kang Jianfei was puzzled. But he didn’t know that Xinyi City had a predecessor called Struggle Film Company before Lei Juekun invested in shares.

At the very beginning of Struggle Film Company, it was only screened in Lei Jue Kun’s Golden Princess Cinema. Later, because of the good box office of several films they made, Lei Juekun decided to invest in shares because of the potential. The two sides hit it off and reorganized the struggle film company into Xinyicheng.

At this time, the struggle film company had just been established, and even a single movie had not been made. However, like Kang Jianfei, the three of Mecca saw a good opportunity to hitch a ride on the Lisheng Cinema Line, so they came to discuss the film with Lei Juekun.

This is also because Mecca, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian are already famous in the film circle, so they are qualified to talk to Lei Juekun about cooperation matters before the film is made. And Kang Jianfei, a completely unknown director, had to play tricks to meet Lei Juekun after the film was made.

The four people in the office were talking into the alley when they suddenly found many strangers in the room, all of them looking at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Lei Juekun pointed at Kang Jianfei and asked Mecca, “This gentleman is also a member of your company?”

Mecca shook his head blankly and asked Huang Baiming and Shi Tian, “Do you know him?”

Huang Baiming and Shi Tian said in unison, “I don’t know.”

Kang Jianfei unbuttoned his jacket to reveal the samples inside. He took the samples and placed them on Lei Juekun’s desk as if taking a leisurely stroll. He then greeted respectfully: “Hello, Boss Lei, I am Kang Jianfei from Oriental DreamWorks, this is the Our company just made a movie.”

Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian immediately understood that Kang Jianfei was here to grab business with them. Huang Baiming reacted the fastest, and asked Shi Tian strangely: “Hey, Ah Tian, have you heard of Oriental DreamWorks?”

Shi Tian replied quite cooperatively, “I don’t think I’ve heard of it before, so it’s not a scam company, right?”

However, Lei Juekun looked at Kang Jianfei curiously. The assistant secretary outside was his confidant. Naturally, it was impossible to let people in randomly, which showed that the young man in front of him had used some means to get in.

This kind of uninvited appearance will inevitably arouse the host’s disgust, and it is not good for negotiation and cooperation. This young man does not know it, right?

Lei Juekun is over 60 years old, but the skin on his face has not many wrinkles, and his turbid eyes are also very deep.

Kang Jianfei glanced at him, and knew that this man was scheming. The moment is not false, Kang Jianfei took out his business card, turned his head and said to Huang Baiming, “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of Oriental DreamWorks before, I believe it won’t be long before the three gentlemen will remember this name. Profound. Let me introduce myself again, my fellow Kang Jianfei, the author of “Looking for Qin”, and Ni Jiao also receive a manuscript fee of 500 yuan per thousand words. I am also the planner of the magazine “Oriental Fashion” and the recently popular “Shanghai. Beach” “The screenwriter, assistant director and author of the theme song. Are these identities qualified to speak with a few face-to-face?”

Several people looked at each other, whether it was “Looking for Qin Ji”, “Shanghai Beach” and “Oriental Fashion”, all of them were things that set off a boom in Hong Kong, and they were all related to the young man in front of them.

Although Kang Jianfei is not well-known in the film circle, these three names are enough to make the four people in the room face them.

Lei Juekun stretched out his hand and said, “Mr. Kang, please take a seat. I don’t know why you are here in our company today?”

When Kang Jianfei broke into Lei Juekun’s office, Zhao Yazhi asked Fang Yihua out for coffee.

Zhao Yazhi and Fang Yihua don’t have much friendship, but the two have known each other several years ago. Today, the reason why Fang Yihua condescended to come out to have coffee with Zhao Yazhi is because Zhao Yazhi’s net worth has soared after the hit of “Shanghai Beach”, and his status in TVB is already on an equal footing with the elder sister Wang Mingquan.

At the same time, Zhao Yazhi’s artist contract with TVB will expire in about half a year, but Zhao Yazhi refuses to renew the contract, which makes Fang Yihua quite worried that she will be poached by Li Shi!

Since the release of “Oriental Fashion”, Zhao Yazhi has always followed Kang Jianfei’s request, putting on makeup and dressing up carefully before going out. At this time, she was wearing an elegant bun, a long black skirt, a coat, and a short gorgeous cape, with a solemn and elegant temperament all over her body.

When Fang Yihua saw Zhao Yazhi’s outfit, she couldn’t help but feel jealous when she admired her. She was also a beauty that swept thousands of men back then, but unfortunately her beauty has passed away.

Under Fang Yihua’s leadership, the two chatted for a while about Zhao Yazhi’s outfit today, and then gradually turned to the topic.

Fang Yihua tentatively said half-jokingly: “”The Beach” will be broadcast in half a month. What is Azhi’s plan? Just tell Aunt Fang what role she wants to play. I will let the producers take the script for you to choose.”

Zhao Yazhi smiled and said, “I plan to not have it yet~www.readwn.com~ but I want to rest for a while, and I’ll talk about it after the new year.”

The displeasure on Fang Yihua’s face was fleeting, Zhao Yazhi was acting like a star, otherwise he shouldn’t have spoken like this in front of her.

Zhao Yazhi turned around and said, “Actually, I still really want to continue acting on TVB. Everyone here is very familiar, and many seniors have taught me how to act.”

Fang Yihua directly interpreted Zhao Yazhi’s words as an increase in value, she said: “Azhi, your contract is coming soon, Aunt Fang thinks the previous contract is not suitable for your current reputation, so I decided to change it to a short three-year contract, The remuneration is not calculated on a monthly basis, but once per TV series. What do you think?”

Zhao Yazhi didn’t answer directly, but said irrelevantly: “Aunt Fang, a friend of mine recently made a movie, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it in a movie theater.”

“Oh?” Fang Yihua finally understood that Zhao Yazhi was circling around today to ask her for a movie to be screened in the theater. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Who made the movie?”

Zhao Yazhi said: “Kang Jianfei.”

“Is that the screenwriter of “The Beach”?” Fang Yihua immediately thought of it, and then speculated about the relationship between Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi.

Zhao Yazhi said: “I think Ah Fei’s movies are not bad, and he also encouraged me to stay in TVB.”

Zhao Yazhi has made it clear that I can stay at TVB, but you must arrange for Kang Jianfei’s movie to be released in cinemas.

Fang Yihua didn’t immediately agree, but said, “Okay, I’ll go back and ask the theater manager to see when there will be a space for filming.”
