356 [Discovering New Talent]
"Mr. Kang, when will the new drama you collaborate with Boss Shao start filming?"
"Director Kang, who has the more roles in the new drama, Cheng Long or Lin Qingxia?"
"Director Kang, are Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia playing couples?"
"Boss Kang, who has the investment in the new drama accounts for the majority?"
"Mr. Kang, are you the director yourself?"
“…”
Kang Jianfei was surrounded by reporters as soon as he got off the car. No matter how he cunning rabbits were in three holes, it was difficult for him to avoid the uncrowned kings with sharp ears and eyes.
Zou Wenhuai secretly revealed the co-production plan and immediately promoted the investment from 8 million US dollars to 20 million, which was nothing more than two purposes. One was to finalize the matter and not give Kang Jianfei the opportunity to repent; the other was to take the opportunity to create momentum and let more people pay attention to Cheng Long's new film.
But Kang Jianfei was so annoyed by the reporter. He forced a smile on his face and opened the reporter without saying a word and walked away to the door of the Oriental Building.
It was not until he entered the elevator that Kang Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief and finally got rid of these annoying reporters.
Oriental Entertainment Company is divided into several departments such as the music department, performing arts department, and even specialized training classrooms. There is a whole floor in Oriental Building that belongs to the company. Newcomers take theoretical classes and basic classes here. Once the time comes, they will be sent to the TV station, record companies and film crews for practical learning, and then package and promote them based on their potential.
As soon as he came out of the elevator, Chen Bingkun came to greet him with two younger brothers and a female secretary. This gossip king who was once the Shaw Brothers set is now a famous agent of Oriental Entertainment Company and is also the deputy manager of the department of the performing arts department.
Chen Bingkun came up with a slight smile and said, "Brother Fei, everyone is here, Miss Xi'an Association is in the reception room."
Kang Jianfei walked in front and asked, "Her contract is ready?"
Chen Bingkun nodded and said, "We have signed it all, but there is something wrong."
"What's wrong?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Chen Bingkun said: "Miss Xi'an Association does not know how to speak Chinese, and she is unwilling to learn Chinese training courses for her."
Kang Jianfei himself doesn't like learning foreign languages, but he doesn't like his artists to be unprofitable. He said, "Is this Japanese girl going to have to give her a special translator for filming in the future? You must find ways to let her learn, at least to have daily communication."
Chen Bingkun nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely let her learn to speak Cantonese."
The door of the reception room next to Kang Jianfei's office was opened, and there was a beautiful Japanese woman sitting inside. It was Michiko, the Western Association who was named "Yamaguchi Momoe in the Bodybuilding Industry" in Japan.
Michiko, a Japanese bodybuilding star and weightlifter, has won the national bodybuilding championship and weightlifting championship in Japan for three consecutive times and has a certain reputation in Japan.
The woman is only 26 years old this year, but she is already aged as an athlete and has not done well after retirement.
In parallel space, Michiko Michiko of the Western Association will go to Taiwan in a few months. She has made a lot of bad movies and has not made any name for herself. She went to Hong Kong to shoot "The Great Stars" two years later and made her debut.
Kang Jianfei is going to film "God of Gambling" this time. The Japanese woman who shakes the dice in the original version was played by Michiko, the Western Conference Association. Such a role is naturally fine to find an actor, but Kang Jianfei remembers that Michiko, a Japanese actress, came here.
It just so happened that Lin Qingxia and Zhen Zidan were filming in Japan at this time. Kang Jianfei just called Lin Qingxia to help him ask, and soon found out about Michiko the Western Conference Association.
After the athlete retired, Michiko Michiko from the Western Conference Association was worried that she had no way out. After receiving an invitation from Oriental Entertainment, she immediately packed her luggage and flew to Hong Kong.
Michiko of the Western Association met Kang Jianfei in the movie. After Kang Jianfei came in, she immediately stood up and bowed: "Kangsang, have you bought it too much? Is there any way to wash it? Is it a good idea to cry? Is it a good idea to wash it? Is it a good idea to tear it up?"
Although Kang Jianfei didn't know what the girl was talking about, he guessed that he was probably greeting him. He went out to walk towards his office and said to Michiko, the Western Association behind him: "You're welcome, you'll be too clean, so come to my office to talk."
Michiko from the Western Conference quickly followed in, and alongside her was Kang Jianfei's secretary Lin Meiqin.
As the boss, Kang Jianfei has a secretary on TV, record companies and film companies, responsible for daily document sorting, message delivery, time arrangement, etc. He actually lacks a self-contained assistant and secretary to organize and summarize the information sent by the secretary of each company. However, Kang Jianfei's personality does not like someone to follow him at any time. He usually only serves as an assistant when doing business or on a business trip.
With the new secretary Lin Meiqin as the translator, Kang Jianfei had a normal communication with Michiko of the Western Association and said, "Miss Western Association, I have seen your photo reports in Japan. I think your image and skills are very suitable for being an action star. Welcome to join Oriental Entertainment."
Kang Jianfei has become very famous in Japan in the past two years, especially after "Home Imperial" sold box office, many Japanese people who do not pay attention to the movie have heard of Kang Jianfei, the famous Hong Kong director.
Michiko of the Western Conference Association suffered a lot after retirement. At this time, he heard that Kang Jianfei was optimistic about her potential and said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Kang, for your praise, I will work harder."
"Don't be busy with thanks," Kang Jianfei waved his hand, "I invite you to come this time, just a guest starring a small character who only appears for a few dozen seconds. I hope you can learn to speak Cantonese as soon as possible. Even if you can't speak lines, you must at least understand it. Otherwise, when you film for me in the future, do you have to bring an interpreter at any time?"
Michiko from the West Association practiced volleyball gymnastics since she was a child, and then practiced bodybuilding and weightlifting. She was completely a tomboy, and her cultural learning ability was almost negative. However, for the sake of future development, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "I will try my best to learn Chinese, please rest assured Mr. Kang."
"Okay, then that's it for now." Kang Jianfei waved his hand and asked Michiko of the Western Conference to leave, and then said to Lin Meiqin, "Call Chen Bingkun in."
Less than half a minute after the Japanese girl went out, Chen Bingkun knocked in and asked, "Brother Fei, what's the point?"
Kang Jianfei said: "I originally planned to let Zhang Guorong play the actor of the second male lead in "God of Gamblers". However, the schedule conflicts with the arrangements of Fengxing Records, so I want to change the actors temporarily. Do you have any good actor recommendations?"
Chen Bingkun asked: "Are there any special requirements?"
Kang Jianfei said: "You must be young and handsome, and you must also have acting skills."
Chen Bingkun said with a headache: "There are many handsome young people, many with acting skills, and no one is particularly outstanding."
"Who is the most handsome among the newcomers in the company? Acting skills are not a problem, the key is to have a handsome guy." Kang Jianfei said.
Chen Bingkun thought for a while and said, "I remember that I am a person, and I don't know if it's suitable. He is a student who transferred from the Phoenix TV training class. He has good acting skills assessment and is very handsome, but he is just too literary and artistic, so he may not be able to play the ruffian of Daozi."
Kang Jianfei became interested and asked, "Oh, there are still such students in the training class. What is his name?"
Chen Bingkun said: "That student is named Huang Qiusheng, he is a mixed-race boy."
"Huang Qiusheng... is so literary?" Kang Jianfei almost laughed. Thinking about Huang Qiusheng's old ruffian look, some people say that he is too literary and unable to act like a ruffian.
Chen Bingkun said: "Yes, that kid's best-known is acting in Shakespeare's drama. With his mixed-blood face, the effect of the performance is simply amazing."
Kang Jianfei laughed and ordered: "Go and find Huang Qiusheng."

Song Cheng in Liyuan Amusement Park was demolished to make real estate in the era before Kang Jianfei traveled. However, it is very lively now. Since its completion, many crews who film costumes have come here to film. They don’t have to go to the China Film Culture City in Taiwan, nor do they have to take pictures like Shaw Brothers. Song Cheng really provides great convenience for Hong Kong directors.
"Props group, pull the cart over there, the actors quickly change their clothes..." Xu Xiaoming patted his hands and directed.
McDonald Bear was a little tired of doing it on TV, especially after he helped his brother sell several movies, he became interested in making movies.
Since McDonald Bear revealed his intention to leave, Xu Xiaoming, who is not inferior to McDonald Bear, naturally wanted to climb up and get the position of the program production director.
Of course, due to the reorganization of the TV station, Xu Xiaoming can no longer become the program production director of Phoenix Channel, but the program director of the TV production department of Oriental Dream Factory.
The current TV series is called "The Dao Ma Dan", which is adapted from the movie of the same name by Kang Jianfei. The starring is Mo Shaocong, Mao Shunyun, Wen Xueer, Rong Huiwen and others.
Thanks to the reputation of the movie version of "Dao Madan", the TV series version of "Dao Madan" has been broadcast, and the ratings have steadily suppressed the TVB's "Rebirth" side. Xu Xiaoming, as the producer of this drama, regards "Dao Madan" as the stepping stone for himself to be promoted to the director of the program. He works for nearly 20 hours a day, and it is simply a waste of time to film.
Huang Qiusheng was wearing a short coat of Republic of China and a small hat, selling buns on the street, and shouted from time to time: "It's a big bun with thin skin and meat stuffing..."
"Click!" The director was staring at the viewfinder. Xu Xiaoming, who was the producer, suddenly shouted to stop. Everyone stopped and looked here, not knowing what was wrong.
Xu Xiaoming pointed to a female actor in Kun class and shouted, "Yuan Danqiong, why are you having a problem again? Are you mistaken? The master in your play is dead, and there is no expression on his face. Are you doing a passerby? "
"Producer Xu, I...I..." Yuan Danqiong lowered her head and was at a loss.
Xu Xiaoming looked at the time and it was almost noon. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's have dinner first. If you can't perform well in the afternoon, you can leave directly!"
Yuan Danqiong sat sadly on the side of the road. "Sister Pomegranate" who often got mad in Stephen Chow's movies in the future has been scolded by several directors. The reason is that Yuan Danqiong is pretty good and has been trained as a female star. She has nothing to do with comedy, and she is simply not right in the way of acting.
Just when Yuan Danqiong was sad, a boxed lunch appeared in front of her. Yuan Danqiong looked up and saw that it was Huang Qiusheng, who had just sold "buns" on the side of the road.
"I'm still angry?" Huang Qiusheng handed her the lunch box and smiled helplessly, "You can at least play a supporting role with lines. I will be the first in the training class exam, but I can only play Passerby A forever."
Huang Qiusheng is telling the truth, which is also his most embarrassing situation at the moment. He is obviously handsome and has good acting skills, but because of his mixed-race appearance, he is not in a suitable role. He is too eye-catching to play a supporting role, so he can only be a passerby.
Wu Yi came over with a boxed lunch, sat down next to Huang Qiusheng and said, "Everyone is the same. You can get a good role in two years."
Yuan Danqiong was not in the mood to eat, and she held the lunch box and sighed: "Oh, Zhou Xingchi is the best in the entire performance training class. He is already able to host the Academy Awards ceremony."
Huang Qiusheng digs the rice and says, "Without a noble person, you will naturally be able to do well."
Wu Yi will look around and whisper: "I heard that Zhou Xingchi and the director of "Happy 30" are relatives, and they only climbed up by the back door."
Huang Qiusheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "What can I do? We are all students who don't care about it, so we can only make it through slowly."
Wu Yijiang sighed: "If you want me to tell me, the most important thing in life is luck. Look at Chen Bingkun, deputy manager of the Artist Department, who used to be a small field worker on Shaw Brothers studio. Because he met Mr. Kang, he is now doing so much glorious."
Yuan Danqiong said: "Yes, if I had known Mr. Kang earlier, I might have made a fortune now."
After the three young actors sighed, Wu Yi asked: "Qiu Sheng, your appearance is not suitable for filming TV series. Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"
"What should I do?" Huang Qiusheng smiled indifferently, "If I have half a year of support, I will go to the Academy of Performing Arts and go to film after graduation."
Yuan Danqiong raised a thumbs up and said, "If you have an idea, I will support you."
Before the lunch box was finished, the three young actors suddenly heard someone shouting: "Huang Qiusheng, where is Huang Qiusheng?"
Huang Qiusheng stood up with the lunch box, raised his hand and said, "I'm here, who's looking for me?"
The person who came was not Chen Bingkun, but a small leader from the Artist Department of Oriental Entertainment Company. He walked over and held Huang Qiusheng's hand and said, "Stop eating, come with me."
"What are you doing?" Huang Qiusheng broke free from the man's hand and asked vigilantly.
The man said, "You are well developed, Mr. Kang wants to see you!"
Huang Qiusheng swallowed the meal in his mouth with difficulty, resisted the excitement in his heart and asked, "Which Mr. Kang?"
"Which Mr. Kang do you mean?" the man said speechlessly.
"Oh, oh..." Huang Qiusheng's lyrics were unsatisfactory and "Oh" for a long time, threw the lunch box next to him, tidied up his clothes and said, "I'll go with you."
Huang Qiusheng's family is not better than Zhou Runfa and Zhang Weijian. His foreign devil's father abandoned his wife since he was a child and left. His mother was a servant to raise him. As if the great opportunity is placed in front of him today, how can Huang Qiusheng not be excited?
When the person came to take Huang Qiusheng away, the whole crew looked at the direction they left, and then quickly started to talk loudly.
Wu Yi squatted there in a stunned manner with the half-eat lunch. After a long time, he said to Yuan Danqiong: "Mr. Kang wants to see him, Qiu Sheng seems to be developing!"
Yuan Danqiong nodded blankly, her eyes full of envy. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
