A humanistic documentary actually requires a budget of more than $30 million. If Sidney Pollack was not a big hit director, investors would probably not even watch the script.

Although Kang Jianfei knew that "Out of Africa" ​​was very popular and had a sluggish victory, he did not agree immediately, but asked, "Why did you come to me with the script?"

"Because you showed extraordinary vision in the movie "Terminator", Mr. Pollack came to me and hoped to get your financial support through me," said Anne Hurd. "Mr. Kang, "Out of Africa" ​​is really a great movie. Don't be too busy refusing, please read the script carefully first."

Well, Kang Jianfei understood that the old man Pollack thought that others were stupid and had a lot of money, so he came to Anne Hurd to ask for money.

Kang Jianfei pretended to flip through the script, and after reading it for half of it, he said, "Annie, I admit that this is a good script, but it is always a humanistic documentary. How many viewers do you think will go to the cinema to watch a documentary? What's more, the cost of a documentary is actually $30 million. How do you think this movie should recover its investment?"

Facing Kang Jianfei's bright gaze, Anne Hurd suddenly couldn't speak because she didn't think "Out of Africa" ​​could make a comeback. It was empty talk if she said anything at this time.

If leaving Africa is not a documentary, even if there is only a messy and messy script, Sidney Pollack has accumulated over the years, he would not have been able to invest in several years.

"Okay," Anne Hurd said, "I'm still very grateful to Mr. Kang, and I hope you can think more about it."

"Wait," just as Anne Hurd was about to walk out of the office, Kang Jianfei suddenly shouted, "Anne, I'm not interested in the script of this movie. But I like director Sidney Pollack very much. If, I mean, if Mr. Pollack could come to Hong Kong, maybe I could convince me in person."

"I will tell you." Anne Hurd said, actually she didn't have much hope.

...

...

Three days later, the 50-year-old Oscar best director Sidney Pollack rushed to Hong Kong.

Sidney Pollack once called the wind and rain in Hollywood in the 1970s. His films not only won many awards, but also ranked among the top ten in North America's box office list many times. "Mr. Duss" two years ago was popular all over the world and also won good box offices in Hong Kong. Its director was Sidney Pollack.

Anne Hurd accompanied Sidney Pollack to Tseung Kwan O Cinema and said in the car: "Mr. Pollack, Kang is a very smart businessman, and it is probably difficult for you to convince him to invest. After all, $30 million is not a small amount."

"I've watched his "Home Imposses" and I heard it took only more than ten days to complete it, and it was unimaginable," said Sidney Pollack. "Even if he can't convince him to invest, it would be nice to know such an interesting director."

Anne Hurd returned to "Out of Africa" ​​and asked: "You said on the phone that you are attracting investment at Universal Pictures. Are there any results?"

Sidney Pollack smiled bitterly, "They are still thinking about it."

Anne Hurd stopped talking, "still thinking" was just a polite statement, no different from being rejected.

At this time, the southern part of Tseung Kwan O had not yet been reclaimed. One side of the road was the beautiful coast. The car was running in the sea breeze, and soon arrived at Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City.

"It's hard to imagine that DreamWorks can make profits for many years with an outdated large studio system." Sidney Pollack said, looking at the film and television city outside the car.

Anne Hurd smiled and said, "It seems that Hong Kong's film industry is 50 years behind Hollywood."

Two foreigners who don’t know the details evaluate Kang Jianfei’s company, but they will soon put down their figure and ask Kang Jianfei for investment. The richest man in this world is the old man.

"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Sidney Pollack was surprised to be young with Kang Jianfei. At the age of Hollywood, he could only run errands on the set. He really couldn't imagine that Kang Jianfei had made several blockbuster movies.

"Hello, please sit down, both of you," Kang Jianfei smiled, "I really like Mr. Pollack's movies, especially the Tootsie."

"Thank you for your appreciation of Tootsie." Sidney Pollack was very helpful because Tootsie not only made a big box office hit, but also made him the best director of the Oscar.

Kang Jianfei continued: "I have read the script of "Out of Africa" ​​carefully. It is indeed a script full of humanistic connotations. Unfortunately, it is always a documentary. It is hard for me to convince myself to give you a $30 million investment."

Sidney Pollack said: "It's not $30 million. Mirage-Entertainment has agreed to invest 5 million, and Universal Pictures has also agreed to invest 15 million, but now it's only a gap of 10 million."

Anne Hurd glanced at Pollack in surprise, and then realized that the old guy was talking nonsense and cheating in order to attract investment.

"Oh, is that? Then I want to congratulate Mr. Pollack." Kang Jianfei saw Anne Hurd's reaction and knew that Pollack was telling lies. However, he was too lazy to expose it. Moreover, high-cost documentaries like "Out of Africa" ​​really need a Hollywood giant to invest in.

If Kang Jianfei came to invest in full, then it would be difficult for a discipline film like "Out of Africa" ​​to be ranked in a good time in the United States. Even if you have lost the luck of getting tens of millions of box offices, it would be difficult to sell a good box office overseas without the halo of the Oscars.

With the investment of Hollywood local giants, "Out of Africa" ​​can sweep the Oscars and make a big profit with the halo of the Oscars. If it were just Kang Jianfei's investment, this movie would never be able to recover the cost.

In the next two hours, Sidney Pollack began to urge Kang Jianfei to pay for money and promote "Out of Africa" ​​to heaven.

Kang Jianfei pushed the teacup in front of Pollack and said, "Mr. Pollack, if you can really make Global Investment, no matter how much Global Investment will be, I will pay the remaining money."

"Really?" Sidney Pollack was overjoyed. He actually didn't expect Kang Jianfei to invest.

"Of course it's true," Kang Jianfei said, "but I'm an outsider after all, and "Out of Africa" ​​must be joined by a Hollywood giant. Without the participation of Global or other large companies, I wouldn't have invested a penny."

"Yes, of course, I will convince those Hollywood giants." Sidney Pollack said happily. As long as someone is willing to invest and dilute risks, he can still pull big companies into the group based on his many years of contacts in Hollywood.

Kang Jianfei remembered the bag company he had in Hollywood. He said: "I will invest in the name of Oriental Film Company, and I hope that the specific work can be left to Anne to take charge."

"Are you sending me an invitation?" Anne Hurd asked.

Kang Jianfei said: "You can think so that Oriental Film Company needs someone familiar with the American film industry to take responsibility."

"I'm very happy to do this job." Anne Hurd smiled. She didn't like a leather bag company, but the big financial backer Kang Jianfei behind the company, which means completely different.

From Kang Jianfei's promise to invest in "Out of Africa", we can see that he is a very "generous" investor. Anne Hurd can be as good as a fish in Hollywood. As long as he creates one or two blockbuster movies, many independent directors in Hollywood will have a request for her, and Anne can accumulate her own connections.

After sending away the two Americans, Kang Jianfei had a little smile on his face. Annie Hurd needed his money to develop a relationship network. Didn’t Kang Jianfei use her to invest in American movies?

There are countless Hollywood blockbusters that sell prestigious Hollywood movies, some of which are not popular with investors, and some are too expensive to attract investors, and some require cooperation from multiple companies. Although Kang Jianfei is not familiar with Hollywood movies, he still knows which movies will sell prestigiously. At that time, he will be able to invest some money several times or even dozens of times.

Kang Jianfei's investment in "Terminator" attracted Sidney Pollack. If "Out of Africa" ​​won the award after winning the award, more Hollywood directors would come to him. Who told him that Kang Jianfei is stupid and has more money?

...

...

"Click!"

"Rongzi, your expression is a little more exciting."

"Phone 1 gives a close-up."

"Yes, that's it, do it again!"

“…”

The crew of "The True Heroes 2" is directing the filming with great enthusiasm. This is because he regained the guide after a year of silence, and he also filmed the gunfight film he liked.

The crew's scene record was Kang Jianfei's cousin Wu Ruiqing. This kid felt unhappy after working in the screenwriter department for more than half a year, so he wanted to learn to be a director. Kang Jianfei threw him on the crew of "The True Heroes 2" to make the scene record.

After taking pictures for a whole afternoon, everyone gathered under the pergola to rest. After a while, it was time to finish the work.

"It's so weird this year. It's still so hot in October!" Wu Ruiqing picked up a bottle of water and drank it in big mouthfuls.

Xiao Zhang from the prop group held a fan and sat next to Wu Ruiqing to fan the air, saying, "Brother Qing. I'll treat you to midnight snack when the work is over."

"No," Wu Ruiqing leaned on the bench and said, "It's so fucking tired. I just want to get off work early and go to bed."

The reason why Xiao Zhang pleased Wu Ruiqing was naturally because of Kang Jianfei. Who in the company now doesn’t know that Wu Ruiqing is Kang Jianfei’s cousin?

Xiao Zhang failed to make a plan, so he had to continue fanning Wu Ruiqing. When he saw a black car coming, he immediately patted Wu Ruiqing's arm and said, "Brother Qing, Mr. Kang is here."

Wu Ruiqing opened her eyes and glanced at her, then continued to take a nap after closing her eyes, and said, "I must be here to pick up Hong Gu from get off work. Hong Gu has no chance tonight."

Before Wu Ruiqing finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong, who had changed her costume, got into the car indeed, and in a blink of an eye, could only see the butt of the car.

Xiao Zhang swallowed and asked, "Brother Qing, how many sisters-in-law do you have?"

"At least four or five." Wu Ruiqing said in a daze.

Xiao Zhang said enviously: "Mr. Kang is so awesome. I would have been so rich."

"Follow me and make sure you have money in the future." Wu Ruiqing said in a sarcasm.

Xiao Zhang said flatteringly: "That's right, Brother Qing, you are so talented, and you will definitely be developed in the future. Don't forget to take care of me at that time."

Wu Ruiqing is 20 years old this year. Due to his better living conditions, his health is much better than before. However, his skeleton is still too small and he still looks very thin. Only by taking off his clothes can he see some muscles.

While the two young men were talking nonsense, Kang Jianfei was sitting in the car and touching Zhong Chuhong's little hand. If it weren't for the driver and bodyguard in the front row, Kang Jianfei wouldn't have played too much, and he might have started to be intimate with Hong Gu.

Zhong Chuhong seemed to enjoy the warmth of the present, and she was closely linked with Kang Jianfei without saying a word. She felt the warmth in each other's palms, giving her a sweet feeling of love.

Kang Jianfei has been free during this period and the one who has been with Zhong Chuhong the most. The relationship between the two has rapidly heated up, and they are just a short stop.

For men, what they can't get is the best, so Kang Jianfei is now particularly fascinated by Zhong Chuhong and tries every means to get her body.

"Where to eat?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"Eat something casually," Zhong Chuhong said with no strength to lean against Kang Jianfei's shoulder, "I just want to get home and take a shower soon. Yesterday was cool, but today we are in the sun. The autumn tiger is hotter than the dog days."

"Go to Repulse Bay, I'll swim with you." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

Zhang Degong immediately turned around after receiving Kang Jianfei's order. It took him an hour to get to Villa No. 4 of Resui Bay. Zhong Chuhong had already fallen asleep leaning against Kang Jianfei.

The car drove into the villa, Kang Jianfei hugged Zhong Chuhong and got out of the car, and immediately woke her up.

"Has it arrived?" Zhong Chuhong asked in a daze in Kang Jianfei's arms.

Kang Jianfei said: "When it's time, should you eat first or take a shower first?"

"Let's take a shower first." Before Zhong Chuhong woke up completely, she closed her eyes again. She felt that Kang Jianfei's arms were very comfortable. It was very suitable for sleeping.

Kang Jianfei hugged the sleeping beauty and rushed straight to the swimming pool. Zhang Degong and Liu Fei naturally did not dare to follow him. They could take the opportunity to take a break and go to the living room to watch the movie video.

"Bang!"

Zhong Chuhong was sleeping soundly, but suddenly she was thrown into the swimming pool by Kang Jianfei in a prank, and woke up instantly when his nostrils choked on water.

"Bastard!" Zhong Chuhong climbed ashore and rushed towards Kang Jian angrily. Her clothes were soaked in water, and her beautiful figure was perfectly presented.

Kang Jianfei ran away with a laugh. Zhong Chuhong chased him perseveredly for revenge. The two laughed and played for a while. Kang Jianfei deliberately slowed down and let Zhong Chuhong catch up, and then she pushed him into the water revengefully.

"boom!"

Huge splashes of water in the swimming pool, Kang Jianfei swam to the shore in a panic and said in a "heartbroken": "The most toxic woman's heart, you are so cruel!"

"Hahaha." Zhong Chuhong laughed so hard that she fought wildly, then said with her waist on her back, "Hmph, who told you to tease me? Let's see if you dare to...ah!"
