Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Twenty-Six [Hong Kong Cinema]

The bruised palm print on Zhao Yazhi’s face almost completely dissipated on the second day after moving to the radio channel.

The shooting of “The Beach” is still going on, and Zhao Yazhi has also returned to work, and there has been no abnormality in the past few days. Zhao Yazhi’s husband didn’t come to the crew to find her either, as if it was going to be a cold war, to see who couldn’t help but compromise first.

On the contrary, the relationship between Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi has progressed rapidly. In just a few days, the two have become sisters and brothers, which has attracted the jealousy of many men.

After finishing work that day, they all went upstairs to Kang Jianfei and walked with Zhao Yazhi. Zhao Yazhi said with a smile: “A Fei, you don’t need to send me away, just a few steps away, am I still going to be tied up?”

Kang Jianfei said disgusting words in a natural tone and said with a smile, “Haha, that might be possible. Anyway, as long as I’m here, I’ll be your flower protector. You can only leave with confidence after watching you enter the house.”

Zhao Yazhi lowered her head and said nothing until she walked to the door of the house, and then she said softly, “A Fei, thank you for taking care of me these days. However, are we too close… Today I heard someone gossiping in the crew. .”

Kang Jianfei said sincerely: “Sister Zhi, I admit that I like you very much, but don’t worry, I will not stalk and destroy your family like that Huang Yuanshen. As long as I can take care of you and see you happy every day It’s satisfying to look like.”

Zhao Yazhi was moved by such straightforward words, she bit her lower lip and said, “A Fei, there are actually many better women than me, you are so talented, you will definitely find someone better than me in the future… But still Thank you for your affection for me, I will cherish it, see you tomorrow!”

“See you tomorrow!” After Kang Jianfei watched Zhao Yazhi enter the room, he whistled home himself.

Before entering the room, he saw the fat man Wang Jing coming downstairs. He smiled at Kang Jianfei from a distance and said, “A Fei, I have brought you the information you want, but it is not very detailed.”

“Oh, that’s great, I must treat you to a good meal another day.” Kang Jianfei took a few pages of information handed over by Wang Jing, took a look at it, and opened the door with the little fat man.

Hu Juncai was squatting in the living room. Kang Jianfei didn’t ask Li Jiading to be his teacher, but he took advantage of him. Unable to bear Hu Juncai’s stalking a few days ago, Li Jiading finally agreed to accept Hu Juncai as his apprentice, and even paid respect to him.

After making two cups of tea and sitting down, Kang Jianfei opened the information brought by Wang Jing, which was some information about the Hong Kong cinema chain.

Before Kang Jianfei made a movie, he wanted to know as much as possible about the Hong Kong film industry, and the information on these cinemas was the top priority.

On the first page is the number of movie theaters in Hong Kong over the years. The peak was in 1969, when the number of movie theaters in Hong Kong reached a horrific 180. Since then, it has decreased year by year, and last year there were only 75 cinemas left, but this year, 5 more cinemas have opened, so there are now a total of 80 cinemas in Hong Kong.

The second page introduces several major cinema chains in Hong Kong. The content of the information surprised Kang Jianfei, because he remembered that there were three major cinema chains in Hong Kong in the early 1980s, namely Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Princess Gold. However, the information on hand shows that there are four major cinema chains in Hong Kong at this time: Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Lisheng and Shuangnan.

Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Cinemas are easy to understand, but what about Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas?

This document was obtained by Wang Jingtuo, and the content was not too detailed. Kang Jianfei pointed to the document and asked, “Ah Xiang, what is the origin of the Lisheng Cinema and Shuangnan Cinema?”

Wang Jing explained: “Lisheng Cinemas originally only had 4 cinemas, which were established by the Lei family and have been leased to Jiahe for use in the past few years, which is equivalent to a sub-cinema of Jiahe Cinemas. However, this year, Lisheng Cinemas started from The Golden Harvest Cinemas are separated, and I heard that Boss Lei intends to enter the film industry, and is connecting other retail cinemas everywhere, preparing to form a large-scale cinema chain that can compete with the Golden Harvest Cinemas and Shaw Cinemas.”

“Oh, so it is!” Kang Jianfei finally understood that this Lisheng Cinema was the predecessor of the Golden Princess Cinema, and at this time there was no name for the Golden Princess.

Wang Jing continued: “As for this Shuangnan Cinema, it generally only shows mainland films and Hong Kong leftist films. It is difficult for other films to be shown in the Shuangnan Cinema.”

Kang Jianfei asked, “Continental background?”

Wang Jing nodded and said: “Yes, the Shuangnan Cinema has a mainland background. The films of the three leftist film companies, Great Wall, Phoenix, and Xinlian, are all released in the Shuangnan Cinema. Moreover, the Shuangnan Cinema is very strict. There is even a special film review committee. Not to mention pornographic and violent scenes, as long as the word ‘sexy’ appears in the movie lines or promotional posters, it is impossible to pass the review of the Shuangnan Cinema Review Committee. It has to be cut to be approved for release.”

When Kang Jianfei heard it, his head was too big. This film review standard must drive people crazy.

Wang Jing explained in detail: “Commercial films in Hong Kong are generally not released on the Shuangnan Cinema, because as long as the films screened in the Shuangnan Cinema, they cannot enter the Taiwan. Taiwan market, and their production companies will also be screened. Taiwan’s electrical inspection office was blacklisted. A few years ago, Shaw Brothers filmed “The Seventy-Two Tenants”, because it was shown in the Pearl River Theater under the Shuangnan Cinema Line, and the Taiwan authorities immediately launched an attack when they found out. Shi was almost stuck at the time, and for more than two consecutive months, not a single movie could be sold in Taiwan. Later, I heard that Boss Shao personally went to Taipei to clear up the relationship.”

Hearing this, Kang Jianfei directly ruled out the Shuangnan Cinema Line in his heart. Taiwan is a big market for Hong Kong film sales, and it must not be thrown away.

Continuing to read it, Kang Jianfei was surprised to find that there was actually a Western movie theater chain called “Anle Cinema Line”, which specialized in showing European and American films.

Why was Kang Jianfei surprised by the Anle Cinema?

Because the first foreign cinema in mainland China, Shenzhen Nanguo Cinema, was invested by Anle Films. Not only that, Jiang Zhiqiang, the CEO of Anle Films, is a well-deserved number one figure in the Chinese film industry after 2000. He is known as the driving force behind Chinese films and is called “Asia’s Hero” by “Time” magazine.

In the 21st century, if any Chinese-language film wants to sell to Europe and the United States, it must ask Jiang Zhiqiang to help distribute it, otherwise it will not be able to get a good theater line and a good schedule. For example, Lao Mouzi’s “Hero” and Li An’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” were all released through the operation of Jiang Zhiqiang, which caused a sensation in North America.

Kang Jianfei was the ace photographer of a large state-owned film and television company in his previous life, how could he have never heard of such a big man in the circle as Jiang Zhiqiang?

It’s a pity that at this time, the Anle Cinema only shows Western films. Otherwise, Kang Jianfei would have wanted to go to the Jiang brothers with his own films, because the Jiang brothers have very good character and reputation in the industry.

Except for Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Shuangnan, Lisheng, and Anle, all the others are independent cinemas.

Among these independent movie theaters, there are not only luxurious theaters such as the stage, but also village and neighborhood movie theaters that provide screening services for villagers and neighbors.

After reading all of them, Kang Jianfei had a general idea of the situation of Hong Kong cinemas, and he was thinking about what to do next.

Seeing Kang Jianfei pondering, Wang Jing couldn’t help but ask the doubts in his heart: “A Fei, you asked me to find these materials, wouldn’t you want to invest in making movies yourself?”

There is no need to hide this kind of thing, Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “I have such a plan, I am going to open a film company by myself. How about it, do you want to do it together?”

“I don’t want to be a company. I should be a screenwriter honestly. I will see if I have the opportunity to direct a movie next year.” Wang Jing declined with a smile. Although he also wanted to make movies and start a company, but I will not partner with Kang Jianfei.

Wang Jing also saw that Kang Jianfei is a person with great ability and vision, but ability does not mean that he will be successful. Because Kang Jianfei has only come from the mainland for two months, he has a poor understanding of Hong Kong. He is so eager to start a company to make movies, which can be described as ignorant.

In Wang Jing’s imagination, if Kang Jianfei started a film company, he would go bankrupt within three months, and he would not follow him to death.

Kang Jianfei invited Wang Jing to partner with him, but he just said it casually. He knew that Wang Jing would not agree, so he did not continue to talk about this topic.

…………

…………

In the next few days, Kang Jianfei took time to see two movie companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. One company only has two cameras and some lighting equipment; the other company doesn’t even have professional equipment, just a few employees who eat and die.

That slightly more formal film company, I heard that Kang Jianfei wanted to buy it, actually offered 400,000 yuan. When Kang Jianfei heard it, he turned around and left. The boss quickly lowered the price to 150,000, but Kang Jianfei had no interest at all.

Kang Jianfei has too little money, and every penny has to be used on the edge of the knife. It is too uneconomical to spend a large sum of money to acquire an existing company. It is better to register a new company by himself.

When he asked his cousin Wu Chenggang to ask about it, Kang Jianfei realized how stupid he was!

Kang Jianfei never came to Hong Kong to open a company in his last life. He only knew that it was very troublesome to open a film and television company in the mainland. He took it for granted that it would be similar in Hong Kong.

In fact, it is very simple to register a company in Hong Kong. Except for financial, insurance, banking and other industries that need to apply for special licenses, other companies can operate any legal business across industries. For example, Kang Jianfei has now registered a lawyer company, and he can use this company to make movies without any further conditions or certificates.

After hearing this, Kang Jianfei burst into tears. Capitalism is freedom! If I knew it was so simple, how could I go to great lengths to buy other people’s bankrupt companies?

Under the guidance of his cousin Zhou Mingfang, Kang Jianfei went to a business company called “Huitong” and asked its salesman, “Excuse me, what do I need to provide if I register a film company?”

The salesman replied professionally: “The company’s Chinese and English name~www.readwn.com~the company’s business scope, the company’s shareholder name and a copy of the ID card, plus the 800 yuan agent registration fee you paid to our company. ”

Kang Jianfei was surprised: “That’s all? Don’t you need to verify the capital or provide the company address?”

The salesman shook his head and said, “No, we can provide the company address for you, but the Hong Kong government stipulates that the registered capital of the company should be at least 3,000 yuan, and a thousandth of the lichen tax will be charged.”

“Thank you very much, please leave me a business card. I’ll bother you after I’ve thought about the company name.” Kang Jianfei said happily.

After leaving the business company, Kang Jianfei called a taxi and was about to think of a name for his future company when he suddenly saw a magazine on the taxi cab.

The cover of the magazine features two stars, a man and a woman, the stills of Zhao Yazhi in “Chu Liuxiang” and Huang Yuanshen in “Peerless Double Pride”. The introductory title of the cover is even more exciting, and I saw that it wrote in bold red font: “Xiaoyuer and Su Rongrong – a mad man and a woman who has an extramarital affair”.
