373 [Deadly Express]

"Mr. He, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Deng, the boss is waiting for you in the reception room. Please come with me!" Chen Shuli smiled and said to He Guanchang, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng who had just climbed upstairs.

He Guanchang walked into the reception room first, immediately smiled and reached out to Kang Jianfei to shake hands, saying, "Mr. Kang's "God of Gambling" is really amazing. Its box office actually reached more than 30 million, and another box office miracle was achieved."

"Where are there," Kang Jianfei said to Cheng Long behind He Guanchang, "I have always liked watching Mr. Chen's movies, but I don't have time to get close to him. Today I finally got what I want."

Cheng Long also shook hands with Kang Jianfei and said, "I have always wanted to talk to Mr. Kang about his experience in making movies."

The three of them came here today, naturally because of cooperation.

Within two minutes, Tang Shuxuan was also called into the reception room, and the five people started discussing the joint filming.

He Guanchang said: "This time we are trying to enter the Western market, so the best location for the filming is in the United States or Europe."

Kang Jianfei thought about it for a while and said, "The male and female protagonists are Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia, which has been agreed upon. However, the identities of the two must be arranged. It is best if the male protagonist is a grassroots in the West, but has a hidden identity with a relatively large background. What does Aaron think?"

Cheng Long is already 31 years old. He was called "Along" by Kang Jianfei, who was several years younger than him, but he didn't think it was too harsh. After all, Kang Jianfei's status is equal to Zou Wenhuai.

After being named by Kang Jianfei, Cheng Long had no choice but to say: "You can discuss the plot. I am only responsible for filling in some funny details and fighting scene design."

Among the people who came to Jiahe, only Deng Jingsheng is a professional screenwriter. He said: "I think it is better to put the filming location in Spain, France or Italy. It is more convenient to make movies in these three countries than in the United States, and there is also a greater space for plot design."

Kang Jianfei knocked on his forehead and said, "Okay, let's put the filming site in Italy for the time being, and the villains of the film can also be arranged as black/player."

Deng Jingsheng added: "Along's identity can be set as a kung fu master who hides his name invisible."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This design is too cliché. It is better to be positioned as a Hong Kong Flying Tigers who were forced to retire due to major work mistakes. Such an identity design not only explains why the male protagonist has good skills, but also becomes reasonable to be proficient in using firearms."

He Guanchang only listened but did not express his opinion. Deng Jingsheng nodded and expressed his approval, saying: "The identity of the male lead is tentatively set to this, but the female lead is not easy to set. "The Royal Sister" has been released in Europe and the United States, both of which have achieved good box office. Now Western audiences like Miss Lin's image of beating women. In our movie, Miss Lin is a big selling point, so there must be many scenes and must be able to do kung fu. It is better to do this. Miss Lin plays an interpol who goes to Italy to perform official duties, and Aaron was accidentally involved in the case. In the end, Aaron assisted Ms. Lin to defeat the mafia and successfully solved the case."

Kang Jianfei couldn't help but frown. This plot setting is too cliché. The whole Hong Kong-style police and gangster film that took place in Italy.

Deng Jingsheng noticed Kang Jianfei's expression and asked, "Mr. Kang thinks something is wrong?"

Kang Jianfei, who had never thought about how to make up stories, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and smiled and said, "Jack Chen, a retired Hong Kong Flying Tigers member in an extraordinary city in Italy, works as an underground courier in an informal profession, and drives a second-hand truck to deliver couriers all day. His goods may be anything, but he never wants to know. He strictly enforces three rules and never violates them, which is why he can deliver them until now: one, the transaction will not change anymore; two, no matter who he works for, no matter who he is sending them for; three, never look at the package.

This time he took on a business to deliver goods to an Italian. As usual, Jack Chen drove on the road. But on the way, he found that his "package" was moving. This led to him breaking his third rule and checking the package - he found that there was a beautiful oriental woman inside, and her mouth was sealed with tape.

Jack Chen found that all three of his rules were about to be broken. His route changed and his life changed completely. He and the girl embarked on a road of crisis. The mafia began to chase them closely. More people and things were entangled, whether it was to escape or pursue secrets. This time the deliveryman accidentally fell in love with his goods. The only way was to fight with the owner to the end and get his own portion, which was sweet or death. Before he tasted that, no one could be sure... Well, the name of the movie could be called "Deadly Express".

He Guanchang's eyelids twitched. He had to admit that the story design of Kang Jianfei is much more interesting than Deng Jingsheng's police and gangster films, and the general plot framework is even more attractive.

Deng Jingsheng pondered the plot and nodded and praised: "Mr. Kang is so capable of making up stories. We can not tell the audience the truth about the heroine being kidnapped. Let the heroine deceive the hero first, but we must imply that the audience is telling lies, and then the two are in many crises. This will make the audience curious about the truth, want to know who the heroine is and what happened, so that the plot can be unfolded layer by layer."

The story framework told by Kang Jianfei actually comes from "Extraordinary Human Trafficking" directed by Luke Besson, starring Shu Qi, and Yuan Kui made martial arts songs. However, it is just a general story framework. With Deng Jingsheng and Cheng Long working together on the script, the plot and details behind it must be completely different.

Deng Jingsheng is worthy of being the gold medal screenwriter of Jiahe. With Kang Jianfei making the story design, he immediately began to complete the whole plot. Everyone discussed for an entire afternoon and basically designed the plot: Lin Qingxia is actually a bounty hunter. She was entrusted by her employer to steal the important treasure of the mafia, but was accidentally captured after she succeeded. Since she had carefully transferred the treasure, the mafia was ready to send it to Rome for strict interrogation, and wanted to ask about the whereabouts of her employer and the treasure, but the black male protagonist was rescued. The answers to various riddles naturally had to be revealed layer by layer. During the escape of the male and female protagonists, Lin Qingxia's identity was known to Cheng Long. In the end, the two defeated the thugs sent by the mafia and found that they were coming to capture them.

There were actually two groups of people - this was also the reason why the Mafia did not personally escort Lin Qingxia at the beginning, but asked Cheng Long, an underground courier, to transfer. They had to avoid interception from another group of people. After a difficult investigation, they found that the other group of people was sent by Lin Qingxia's employer, and the employer was actually a member of the Mafia. All the incidents were just a power struggle within the mafia family. In the end, the three-party melee, Cheng Long and Lin Qingxia naturally won the final victory. The two obtained a fortune and went to the United States to live in seclusion. As for Cheng Long's funny fight scene, when he was chased and the final battle, he could show his heart. It was not necessary for Kang Jian to fly away and to design it himself.

The plot has been basically confirmed, and the director should be the next candidate.

He Guanchang finally spoke, and he said with a smile: "It's better for Mr. Kang to come and direct it."

The reason why Jiahe cooperated with DreamWorks was that Lin Qingxia's reputation in Europe and the United States and the box office appeal of Kang Jianfei, an internationally renowned director.

"I'm a director?" Kang Jianfei said with a funny look, "I can be a director, but the shooting budget has to be added to HK$5 million."

He Guanchang nodded and said, "If Mr. Kang is a director, he must produce high-quality products, and it is also possible to increase his budget of 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "This new HK$5 million is just my director's pay."

He Guanchang was stunned and felt a little unhappy, but he immediately felt relieved. With Kang Jianfei's current influence, it seemed reasonable to get a director's reward of 5 million yuan.

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "Why, Mr. He can't make the decision in this matter? Why don't you go back and ask Boss Zou for instructions first."

"No, as long as Mr. Kang is willing to direct the director himself, the 5 million director's reward is nothing." He Guanchang said firmly, and he would naturally explain to Zou Wenhuai.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. Assistant director, I'll arrange the action design and special effects scenes to the Cheng Family Class and the Raptors' stunt team. The other crew members are from each of us. What do you think this is the case?"

"Yes." He Guanchang added, "I think it's better to choose a few more famous white actors in the United States and Europe when it comes to the selection of actors."

Kang Jianfei said: "I will handle the selection of actors. Our two families can make a budget first. I will look at the budget and then decide which level of actor to use."

This kind of thing must be done in one day. It’s almost time to get off work, so He Guanchang and the other two got up and said goodbye, preparing to continue talking tomorrow.

After He Guanchang left Dream Factory, he went back to Jiahe to report the situation to Zou Wenhuai.

After hearing the report, Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "This story is still very interesting. Kang Jianfei's ability and fame are worth 5 million. I don't ask for how much I can make in this movie at the box office. As long as I don't lose money, it's a profit. The most important thing is to promote Aaron to the European and American markets."

He Guanchang said with some concern: "Oriental Entertainment Company is developing too fast. It has only been half a year since it was established. Now at least one-third of the newly launched movies in Hong Kong will look for actors at Oriental Entertainment Company. If this continues, Kang Jianfei will definitely control the Hong Kong star brokerage market. We are raising tigers for trouble."

"Then what can you do? Can you stop him?" Zou Wenhuai asked back.

He Guanchang expressed his thoughts: "I think we have also set up a celebrity brokerage company?"

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "It's too distracting and Kang Jianfei has taken the lead. We are just a waste of time to pick people up. Jiahe can still sign an artist's agency contract or lend actors to other companies. It's the same whether we can set up a celebrity agency."

In fact, Zou Wenhuai disagrees with Kang Jianfei's management philosophy of artists. Kang Jianfei can let Lin Qingxia, Zhou Runfa and other pillars take videos outside at will, but Zou Wenhuai takes Cheng Long tight because this is his winning weapon and he is definitely unwilling to share it with others.
