202 [Golden Screenwriter]
In order to save costs, the indoor scenes of "Dao Madan" are basically filmed in Hong Kong or real scenes. However, in the last scene, due to the large-scale streets and tiled houses in the Minchu streets and tiled houses, the crew had to move to Taipei.
Shaw Brothers' Qingshui Bay studio can make such a scene, but Shaw Yifu has issued an order that Shaw Brothers studio will not be rented to the film crew released in Princess Golden Theater.
Since Pan Yingzi has other work, the contact work of the crew of "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan was led by two native Taiwanese, Yu Kanping and Chen Mingsheng.
In fact, Yu Kanping and Chen Mingsheng's work was very easy. They called Ma Yunsheng, general manager of China Film Culture City, and the other party enthusiastically asked his subordinates to help contact the extras.
There was about a day of work in Taiwan. Before a single shot was taken, Ma Yunsheng invited Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia to have a meal.
Time is not too tight when filming movies on other people's places, so Kang Jianfei naturally had to agree.
The dinner was set up at the Hilton Hotel in Taipei. When Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia arrived, they found that in addition to Ma Yunsheng, there was another man and two women.
Obviously, Ma Yunsheng was just an intermediary at the dinner party, and the real master was among the other three.
Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia had just entered the private room, and everyone stood up at the dining table. As the nominal host of the banquet, Ma Yunsheng came over enthusiastically to shake hands with Kang Jianfei. Lin Qingxia said, "Mr. Kang, Miss Lin, you two can go to the Cultural City to film this time, it's so brilliant."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "China Film Culture City is not a Pengli, and we will rely more on Manager Ma's help in the future."
Ma Yunsheng beat the snake and put on a stick, laughed and said, "You're welcome. You're so kind. Brother Kang has any problems in Taipei in the future, just look for your brother."
As the three walked towards the banquet, Lin Qingxia whispered: "A Fei. The man is Zhang Yongxiang, the number one screenwriter in Taiwan. In the past decade, more than 70% of the most popular movies in Taiwan were scripts written by him. The other two women, the short-haired one, named Jiang Ling, was the singer who debuted in the first year of my trip to Hawaii. Her records were sold well; the long-haired one is Ying Cailing, a young actress who is as famous as Hu Huizhong."
Kang Jianfei said in surprise: "I haven't heard of it before as famous as Hu Huizhong?"
It’s not because Kang Jianfei is ignorant. Ying Cailing will marry the boss of a film company next year and completely withdraw from the entertainment industry. However, this woman is very popular in Taiwan now. In an era when Taiwanese movies are in decline, Ying Cailing has starred in more than ten movies in three years since her debut. It is conceivable how popular she is in Taiwan.
As for the female singer named Jiangling, although her name is tacky, she is definitely not tacky. Her unique sister's hair style and a pair of big, watery eyes can make men fascinated by electricity.
Ma Yunsheng loudly introduced: "Zhang Yongxiang and Miss Lin are probably old friends. I'll introduce them to Mr. Kang. This is Mr. Zhang Yongxiang, a gold medal screenwriter in Taiwan. "A Boat in the Ocean", "Story of Small Town" and other films are all written by him. Mr. Zhang is also the general manager of Yongsheng Film Company."
Zhang Yongxiang is over 50 years old, and his black hair is mixed with a lot of white silk. He held Kang Jianfei's hand and smiled: "Mr. Kang, I have long been famous. Your "Wrong Car" is very good."
Kang Jianfei said: "I am just a screenwriter. That drama was directed by Chen Xunqi and Yu Kanping."
Zhang Yongxiang smiled and said, "I'm talking about the script, because I'm also a screenwriter."
Ma Yunsheng interrupted at the right time: "You two seem to be heroes and cherish heroes. I will have a drink tonight for this!"
Lin Qingxia said in surprise: "It turns out that Uncle Xiang has become the general manager of Yongsheng Film, which is really gratifying."
"What's the point of congratulations? Just put it on the shelves." Zhang Yongxiang said with a wry smile. He has been a screenwriter for his whole life and was hired as general manager when he was old. Although Yongsheng Pictures is a medium-sized film company in Taiwan, its operating conditions in the past two years are very bad, and Zhang Yongxiang took over almost a mess.
Ma Yunsheng immediately introduced the two girls Ying Cailing and Jiang Ling. Although these two women have been very popular in the past two years, they dare not make big in front of Lin Qingxia. They all bowed to Lin Qingxia as juniors in the entertainment industry to shake hands.
As for Kang Jianfei, the legendary Hong Kong film star, the two women were mostly curious. After shaking hands, they looked at Kang Jianfei from time to time.
Because after 8 o'clock in the evening, Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia had to rush back to film night scenes, so everyone used drinks instead of wine.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yongxiang said: "To be honest, the main purpose of inviting the two of you here today is because Yongsheng Film is preparing to open a new drama and wants to invite Ms. Lin to star in it."
Although Zhang Yongxiang is a gold medal screenwriter, his most popular dramas are starring Lin Fengjiao, and he is not very familiar with Lin Qingxia, so he asked Ma Yunsheng to be an intermediary.
Before Lin Qingxia could speak, Kang Jianfei asked: "Ms. Jiang and Miss Ying are also starring in this movie?"
Zhang Yongxiang nodded and said, "If Miss Lin agrees to be the heroine, Gui Yalei will also agree to star in it. In addition, Tang Lanhua and Sun Yue will also star in this movie."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "It seems that Manager Zhang is a new official and wants to make a big investment. The pay for the major actors alone is at least NT$8 million."
Zhang Yongxiang explained: "This is a military education film. The Ministry of National Defense will fund 5 million yuan, so there is no need to consider too much. The main reason is that Ms. Lin has signed a contract with DreamWorks and hopes that Mr. Kang can release people."
Kang Jianfei was stunned for a moment, and then realized what a military education film was. How could he miss such a good opportunity to please the Taiwan authorities. He immediately laughed and said, "Since it is a military education film, DreamWorks must support it. Qingxia's salary is 1 million, and the insufficient DreamWorks will compensate her."
Zhang Yongxiang said happily: "It's great, thank you Mr. Kang for your support for the national defense cause."
Kang Jianfei had already had a relationship with Taiwan's gangs before. Now Zhang Yongxiang took the initiative to invite him to dinner, which was a good opportunity to take advantage of the political circle. Zhang Yongxiang was able to obtain the right to shoot the filming rights of the film funded by the "Ministry of National Defense" in Taiwan, which obviously had a very strong backstage. In the future, Kang Jianfei would have to deal with the mainland. Maybe one day the Taiwan authorities would ban his movies and get to know a few more people, so there would be room for maneuver.
After Zhang Yongxiang invited Lin Qingxia, he immediately proposed to establish a cooperative relationship with DreamWorks. As long as DreamWorks film in Taiwan in the future, Yongsheng Film will be responsible for providing equipment and crew talents, and of course it will also charge a certain amount of remuneration and rental fees.
When Kang Jianfei chatted with him, he had already learned that Yongsheng Pictures is a medium-sized film company, and it would be good to establish a cooperative relationship. It would be easier to film in Taiwan in the future.
Moreover, Taiwanese movies can't be surviving for a few years. Maybe we can take the opportunity to eat this company in the future and exist as a Taiwanese branch of DreamWorks.
Kang Jianfei was thinking about Xiaojiu, and Zhang Yongxiang also had his own little plan. He had already seen that art films would not work in Taiwan, and DreamWorks' film department was selling well, so he planned to invest in some commercial films by cooperating with DreamWorks.
After eating for half an hour, Kang Jianfei looked at his watch and said, "It's already 7:30, and I'm going to rush back to the crew to shoot night scenes, so I'll say goodbye first."
Zhang Yongxiang smiled and said, "Film filming is important, I'll send you two down."
Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said, "No, Qingxia and I can just take a taxi back."
Both of them were polite, and finally Zhang Yongxiang took Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia into the taxi before giving up.
After they left, Ma Yunsheng stopped the smirk on his face and said to Zhang Yongxiang: "Uncle, this person surnamed Kang is still a sensible person. DreamWorks has many stars, and the stunt team is also very powerful. In the future, Yongsheng Pictures will be much more convenient for filming commercial films."
Zhang Yongxiang said with a funny look: "Of course he is a sensible person, otherwise he would earn billions of dollars in just over a year?"
Ma Yunsheng sighed: "It's more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but it's more than 500 million to Taiwan dollars. I, the manager of China Film Culture City, can't make that much money in my life. It's better to make money by making movies. Being a cinema manager is useless."
"The Wrong Car" was released in Taiwan for five months, and it was just released not long ago. Due to its proper operation and the decline of Taiwanese films, Hong Kong's fierce films did not enter on a large scale, with a box office of more than NT$52 million, which is nearly three times the box office of "The Wrong Car" in the parallel space, and it has also become the first movie in Taiwan's film history to have a box office of over 50 million.
When this movie was first released, all walks of life in Taiwan were hotly discussed. As soon as the final box office of "Hooking the Wrong Car" came out, it once again shocked the Taiwanese film industry. The starring Li Saifeng, Sun Yue and Dong Wei were already popular among the people, and the name of Oriental Dream Factory has become well-known in the Taiwanese film industry.
The Mandarin dialogue of "The Royal Sister" has been ready, but Taiwanese theater dealers forced themselves to stop being released immediately, and are planning to wait for another two months to reach the summer season.
In the eyes of Taiwanese theater businessmen, if the movies directed by Kang Jianfei are not scheduled to be released in a good schedule, it would be a shameful waste.
In the taxi, Lin Qingxia's little hand was held by Kang Jianfei. She leaned against Kang Jianfei's shoulder and said, "A Fei, when I got home two days ago, my parents urged me to get married."
"Ahem," Kang Jianfei coughed, "I'd better go see my uncle and aunt one day before talking about it."
Lin Qingxia said that just now, and she felt very embarrassed. She actually hinted at her intention to get married. Kang Jianfei's current polite refusal made Lin Qingxia feel very disappointed. She was wondering if Kang Jianfei thought she was too old, after all, they were several years apart.
Kang Jianfei found that Lin Qingxia had not spoken for a long time and joked: "Are you angry? If you want to get married, you have to let me meet my future father-in-law and mother-in-law first."
