073 [Special Consultant]

The open public room of employees has become a conference room, and everyone's sitting is also very casual.

Ma Qiao pulled up an office chair and sat straight beside Kang Jianfei, holding a meeting note book in his hand. Zhong Yuan, the fat man, sat on the desk opposite, Hu Juncai moved a small stool and sat down. Qi Bo sat by the window smoking. Zhong Zhiwen and Wu Chenggang were sitting next to each other and whispering. Chen Xunqi was watering a pot of plants on the table, and Chen Bingkun leaned against the desk and yawned constantly.

All the people in the company have arrived. Li Qian is pouring tea and water for everyone. In addition, a typist and errand-runner recruited by Maqiao is calling Zhang Xu, who is sending everyone the employee contracts that Maqiao has personally made.

After everyone signed the contract, Zhou Mingfang roughly reported the account. Excluding various expenses, the company's 5 million yuan was left with more than 4.783 million yuan (excluding the expenses of office rental, decoration, purchase of supplies, etc.).

"Okay, then I'll say a few words first," Kang Jianfei said. "Today is our first employee meeting. Everyone who was not familiar with us before will get to know each other. Akun, please introduce yourself first..."

Chen Bingkun immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Bingkun, who specializes in assisting Fei Ge in film casting. In addition, he also has a job as a company star scout in the Artist Department."

Qi Bo said: "My name is Qi Chunwang, and I am in charge of logistics in the production department."

Chen Xunqi said: "My name is Chen Xunqi..."

After everyone introduced themselves one by one, Kang Jianfei said: "I open a film company. I don't say I love movies and pursue art. But since I am in this industry, movies need to love and art must also pursue it. But the more practical thing is to make money by making movies. The company makes money, and everyone gets a lot of money. Now the company is still small, and everyone is a talented person. If you feel that your talent cannot be fully displayed, you can only apologize to you first. The company still has more than 4.7 million in the account, and I plan to make a movie called "Mr. Zombie". Several people in the production department have read some scripts. The rough budget for this movie is at least 3.5 million, which means that the company doesn't have much money left after the filming, so it's impossible to lose..."

Hu Juncai reminded: "A Fei, the overseas box office of "Happy Ghost" has not been recorded yet."

Kang Jianfei was interrupted by him and said with a very upset. He gave him a blank look and said, "It will take at least more than a month for overseas box office to be returned. Then we will talk about it. Now we are facing the situation that the filming location of "Mr. Zombies" is difficult to find, and we cannot rent Shaw Brothers' Qingshuiwan set and Jiahe's Busan Road set. Everyone, the first thing we need to solve now is the filming location problem. Does anyone know where there are buildings and streets in the style of the early Republic of China?"

Everyone was thinking silently, and Qi Bo suddenly said: "Taipei China Film Culture City should be suitable. Many major martial arts films in Hong Kong were filmed there."

Kang Jianfei asked: "Is it easy to apply for a visa to Taiwan?"

Qi Bo said: "In order to encourage Hong Kong film companies to go to Taiwan to make movies, Taiwan has a special film and television visa. It can be obtained in a few days, which is faster than a study abroad visa."

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go to Taipei to film the scene. We will leave the visa and book air tickets to Ma Qiao. In addition, Qi Bo, cousin, Akun and Chen Xunqi, you can set off to Taipei in advance to get in touch with China Film Culture City, rent shooting equipment and call out temporary actors."

Chen Bingkun hurriedly said, "Brother Fei, I only know Hong Kong actors and I am not familiar with Taiwan."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I believe in your ability. Will you recognize me after you go?"

As the few people were talking, Li Shan suddenly came over and walked to Kang Jianfei and whispered: "Miss Pan Yingzi is here, saying she is here to get the script."

"Please come in," Kang Jianfei said, and said to everyone, "Okay, today's meeting will be here, everyone will go down and do their own things."

Others were fine, but Ma Qiao lamented in his heart: I think of him as a top student who graduated from the Department of Financial Law of the University of Hong Kong and dropped out of Harvard Business School. He wanted to come back and make a big move, but he joined such a small company as a commander. Even if he asked him to ask about visas and air tickets, he would personally ask about it. It was really a tragedy!

Kang Jianfei returned to his general manager's office and walked in less than a minute a young woman came in.

Pan Yingzi is wearing a bat shirt on her upper body and a straight white trousers underneath. She is dressed up with a refreshing look and has a baby face. She looks at most 20 years old. How can she look like a young woman in her early 30s?

"Hello, Miss Pan, please sit down!" Kang Jianfei smiled and took out a script of "Mr. Zombie".

After Pan Yingzi sat down, she looked at Kang Jianfei curiously.

Pan Yingzi became famous very early. Before Bruce Lee became famous, she was already ranked among the 12 Golden Hair of Shaw Brothers before she became famous. She has been working in Hong Kong and Taiwan for a long time, and has a large number of fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Unfortunately, she became famous and was always a distance from top actresses. Especially after her husband established a film company, Pan Yingzixi has been filming for several years and has been behind the scenes. She has not appeared in a movie for five years.

It can be said that now is the lowest time for Pan Yingzi to have a lifelong tide. She had a divorce with her husband in her life, and her family's film company went bankrupt again in her career. She retired from the film for a few years and spent her fame. She returned to film a movie "Famous Sword and Romance" two months ago. Many young audiences didn't know her.

Two days ago, Chen Bingkun invited her to make a movie, but Pan Yingzi agreed without much thought. In addition to lacking money, Kang Jianfei's title of "Millions of Directors" was at work. Pan Yingzi wanted to use Kang Jianfei's hands to increase her screen exposure again.

If Kang Jianfei had personally invited Pan Yingzi before the release of "Happy Ghost", he would probably not have been too lazy to see him.

"Ms. Pan, this is your script." Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered the filming incident in Taipei and asked, "Ms. Pan is familiar with Taipei Zhongchao Culture City?"

Pan Yingzi nodded and said, "I'm familiar with it. I was a producer a few years ago and I often filmed films at China Film Culture City. I also know the general manager of the Culture City."

"That's great. This movie "Mr. Zombie" was decided to be filmed in China Film Culture City, but people in our company are not familiar with the situation there. It would be great if Miss Pan could be an intermediary to introduce it." Kang Jianfei said.

When Pan Yingzi heard that she was just helping with her, she agreed readily, "No problem, I'll just ask Manager Ma to come out for a meal at that time. He will arrange everything."

Kang Jianfei was in a good mood when he heard that he was in a good mood and was afraid that there would be no way to film the scene in another place, otherwise he would waste a lot of time and energy on unnecessary things. With Pan Yingzi as the intermediary contacting the general manager of China Film Culture City, things would be much easier and the shooting would be smoother.

The original version of "Mr. Zombie" was initially budgeted by 4.5 million. Because of Lin Zhengying's pursuit of excellence, the cost eventually increased by nearly twice. Even Lin Zhengying himself did not receive a director's salary, and was nicknamed "Tao Master Sancai".

Now, Pan Yingzi is helping in the shooting and contact matters in Taipei, and Kang Jianfei himself has a complete set-up script, so he doesn't need to shoot many discarded films like Lin Zhengying. Apart from the inflation of a few years, the original "Mr. Zombie" produced by Kang Jianfei will definitely not exceed 4 million after the cost of shooting.

Kang Jianfei called Qi Bo, but he didn't expect that Qi Bo and Pan Yingzi actually met, which saved him the effort of introducing each other.

The three of them discussed for a while, and Kang Jianfei finally made a decision: "Then let's make sure that I will hire Ms. Pan as a special consultant for "Mr. Zombie" to assist the crew in filming in Taipei. In a few days, you will set off with Qi Bo and others to go to Taipei."

"No problem, Mr. Kang, don't worry." Pan Yingzi smiled. This kind of shooting coordination may be a bit tricky if it is other actors, but Pan Yingzi is very skillful. She has been working back and forth between Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years as a film producer.

"It's getting late, let's go have a meal together." Kang Jianfei looked at the watch and said that this watch was a Rolex for Pan Disheng's advertisements, and it was considered the only famous brand on Kang Jianfei.

Qi Bo said: "I won't go, there are other things to do in the afternoon."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Then I'll invite Miss Pan to express my gratitude."
