166【The Lame Director and the Fur Merchant】

Kang Jianfei took the elevator downstairs. As soon as the elevator door opened, a man wearing glasses shouted in surprise outside the elevator: "Mr. Kang."

The fans Kang Jianfei thought he had met, walked out of the elevator and nodded and smiled at him.

Kang Jianfei's car was parked in the small parking lot in front of the office building. He was about to go out to drive, but the man caught up with him in a few steps. While chasing, he took out a notebook from his bag and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang, I have a script here, I want to ask you to read it."

Kang Jianfei turned around and saw that the man was actually a cripple man, limping when he walked. He curiously took the script and opened it and saw that the movie in the script was called "The Horse of the City".

"Are you Yu In-tae?" Kang Jianfei looked at the author's signature and asked in surprise.

Yu In-tai is also one of the authors of the new. He is also well-known in the circle. Even if Kang Jianfei knows his name, it is not unusual. So Yu In-tai didn't think much about Kang Jianfei's surprise tone, but just rubbed his hands and smiled: "I didn't expect that Mr. Kang, you know it too. I'm so ashamed!"

Kang Jianfei certainly knew Yu In-tae's "black name". This person is one of the important directors of the Future New Art City. Li Lianjie's "Ho Yuanjia" was filmed by him, and the Hollywood horror film "Freddy vs. Jason" is also Yu In-tae's work.

However, at this time, Yu In-tae was still a thin man, not as strong as 30 years later, and his cheeks were not much flesh, so Kang Jianfei didn't recognize him at all.

Kang Jianfei glanced at the script of "The City Horse". There was only a part of the script in his hand, which was also a common practice for most screenwriters to submit scripts. Kang Jianfei vaguely remembered that this "The City Horse" starring Zhou Runfa in parallel time and space, but there are other actors who can't remember clearly, after all, this movie is not very famous.

"Why do you remember to hand me the script?" Kang Jianfei asked.

After hearing this, Yu In-tae felt a little embarrassed because he was in a downturn.

The reason why Yu In-tae's legs and feet is that he suffered from polio when he was a child. He graduated from the National Taiwan University of California and worked as a production assistant at the ABC TV station in the United States. After returning to Hong Kong, he worked as a production manager of an advertising company and also opened a film company with his friends.

The well-known film "Jumping Ashes" a few years ago was the producer and executive director of Eu In-tae. Last year, his director "Inside and Outside the Wall" had a box office of more than 3 million yuan, and it was well received and popular, and became the famous director of Hong Kong's new and famous director Nam cháo.

But this year, Yu In-tae's "The Savior" directed by Zhucheng Film Company, met "Mr. Zombie" when it was released, and the box office in Hong Kong was only a pitiful 200,000 yuan.

In addition, another film in Zhucheng was also disappointing, so Zhucheng Film Company, which should have been standing in Hong Kong for decades, stopped production, and the company's production director Teddy Robin also switched to New Art City.

Yu In-tae made a movie with a box office of only more than 200,000 yuan. Although it was a war, no investor was confident in asking him to make a movie.

A few days ago, Kang Jianfei spoke and said that Oriental DreamWorks was preparing to expand its scale to recruit people. Yu In-tai rushed to work overnight and spent a few days writing the script of "The Horse of the City" and preparing to go to DreamWorks to test their luck.

Yu In-tae roughly talked about his own affairs and said, "Mr. Kang, my investment in this movie is not big, 1.2 million is enough. And..."

"Wait a minute, are you saying that Zhucheng has stopped production?" Kang Jianfei didn't want to hear what he said, but he was more concerned about Zhucheng Film Company. If Zhucheng stopped production, wouldn't "Hu Yue's Story" that made Zhong Chuhong famous in parallel space and "Beautiful Girl" that made Wen Bixia famous? These two movies are produced by Zhucheng.

Zhucheng Film Company also has a very awesome talent named Zhang Guozhong. This guy has served as the agent of Zhou Runfa, Alan Tam, Lee Keqin, Andy Lau, etc. Like Andy Lau, Lee Keqin, and Shawn Yue were praised by Zhang Guozhong.

Yu In-tai nodded and said, "Yes, Zhucheng Company has stopped production. The boss Liang Tai was originally engaged in the garment and wallpaper business. Because he was good friends with Teddy Robin, he paid for the investment in the film company. Now that Teddy Robin has gone to Xinyi City, Liang Tai has no idea about making movies."

Kang Jianfei asked, "What about Zhang Guozhong?"

"Mr. Kang also knows Zhang Guozhong?" Yu In-tai said in surprise. "Zhang Guozhong was originally an employee of the foreign company's export department under Liang Tai. Now he is not making movies anymore. Naturally, he is going to go back to the foreign company to do trade and export."

Kang Jianfei was sweating wildly, and he filmed a movie "Mr. Zombie" in advance, which led to such a big change. Teddy Robin was forced to join Xinyi City in advance, causing Zhucheng Film to stop production, and the future gold medal agents went back to do export trade...

If the gold medal agent Zhang Guozhong is at ease as a foreign company employee, can Li Keqin become famous? Can Andy Lau become the four kings?

Kang Jianfei said: "I have accepted your script, but DreamWorks plans have been very full recently. I may not have the chance to shoot your movie next year. But Zhang Guozhong, I am a little interested in him. When will you ask him out for a meal together?"

Yu In-tae didn't know if Kang Jianfei was perfunctory, but it was already good if he didn't refuse directly. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Zhang Guozhong another day and I will definitely ask him out."

Kang Jianfei returned the script to Yu In-tai and said, "This is how I am going to expand the company's production department. Your advanced production department's screenwriter team is responsible for the creation and review of the script. Several screenwriters have also submitted scripts to the company these days. Before I could read it, you can choose it first."

"Let me be responsible for the creation and review of DreamWorks scripts?" Yu Rentai couldn't keep up with Kang Jianfei's thinking. He was just talking about Zhang Guozhong's affairs, but in a blink of an eye he asked him to go to DreamWorks to be responsible for important work. What's going on with this?

"Don't have confidence in yourself? You are also from the University of Southern California. You have worked as a production assistant in the ABC News Department of the United States, and have worked as a production manager and a film company boss when you return to Hong Kong. Reviewing scripts should be a small matter." Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "You are rare, so you can use each person if you come.

Yu In-tae is now at its most downturn. The film company he and his friends closed down three years ago, losing all his money, and he was almost sleeping on the street. Now no one is willing to invite him as a director. Yu In-tae is naturally very happy to give him such a position.

When Kang Jianfei walked out of the office building gate, Yu In-tae was holding the script in his hand, dragging his polio-like lame leg, limped behind and waved: "Mr. Kang, walk slowly... Goodbye Mr. Kang!"

Kang Jianfei started the car, stretched his head out from the window and said: "Go up to the Human Resources Department to register, then go to the Production Department to report, and I said it was arranged by me."

Before Yu In-tae could reply, Kang Jianfei had already driven the car and ran away.

While driving, Kang Jianfei thought, since Zhucheng has temporarily stopped production, he knows when it will be restored. Should Oriental DreamWorks make a few small-cost art films like "Hu Yue's Story" and "Beautiful Girls"? It doesn't cost much money, but it brings a lot of reputation. It can also win awards at the Golden Horse Awards and Asia Pacific Film Festivals, which is very beneficial for expanding Oriental DreamWorks' influence.

What's more, Zhucheng has stopped production, and if he doesn't shoot it, no one will shoot these movies. Of course, if the original screenwriter and director meet together and get investment, it might be produced by other film companies.

Kang Jianfei drove to Lishi's set. Since Kang Jianfei didn't give Guan Zhilin a long time, Guan Zhilin still went to work on the TV station through her father Guan Shan's face. However, it was not a signing an actor's appointment, but to do advertising and graphic models to earn some pocket money.

After arriving on the set, many people recognized Kang Jianfei as soon as they got off the car.

There is no way, the Hong Kong film and television circle is so big, Kang Jianfei's reputation is enough to make the people in the circle well-known.

After asking several people, Kang Jianfei asked Guan Zhilin where the advertisement was filmed and quietly sneaked into the studio.

In the studio, several lighting artists were busy with the director's scolding, and the lights were focused on a very fashionable and colorful small stage.

Guan Zhilin was chatting with another male model wearing a mink coat. Kang Jianfei was about to go over, but the director said in a flattering tone to Guan Zhilin: "Mr. Wen, Miss Guan, the lights are adjusted, and we are about to start the mic."

The male model chatting with Guan Zhilin was tall and handsome, about 30 years old, with deep eyes that seemed to be a bit mixed-race. After the director finished speaking, the model sorted out the fur coat on his body and smiled at Guan Zhilin, "Please, Miss Guan!"

After Guan Zhilin walked onto the stage, she began to walk enchantly on the stage under the director's reminder. The luxurious mink coat, combined with Guan Zhilin's perfect figure and face, and then stepped on high heels, exuding an indescribable charm and nobility.

After a while, the male model joined in and walked back and forth on the stage with Guan Zhilin, posing from time to time to highlight the fur coat on her body. Finally, the two of them smiled back to back to the camera, and the director finally shouted: "Crack! It's great, it's much better this time than the last time. Thank you Mr. Wen and Miss Guan!"

Judging from the director's low attitude, the male model is not a small person.

The director is kind to Guan Zhilin. That's because Guan Zhilin's father Guan Shan knows several real-time figures from Li's TV stations. What about that male model? He is not just a model, but also a TV actor and fur businessman. This advertisement is a fur advertisement he paid for.

In the parallel space, this fur businessman and model named Peter Wen is the first love boyfriend Guan Zhilin had after joining the TV station.

After filming the advertisement, Guan Zhilin was about to take off her marten coat. Peter Wen had already pressed her shoulders with both hands and said, "Miss Guan, I think you look good in this dress. Red pink is given to the beauty. If you match it so well, don't take it off."

"Is it really good? I like it very much." Guan Zhilin smiled happily. There was a dressing mirror not far from the stage. She walked around in a mink coat in front of the mirror. The more she looked, the more she liked it.

Peter Wen took the opportunity to say, "Miss Guan, let's have lunch together."

Guan Zhilin was about to agree easily, but suddenly remembered the phone call Kang Jianfei called her last night, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, I made an appointment today, let's go another day."

Peter Wen smiled and said, "Isn't this an excuse to reject me?"
