Chapter 30
: Thirty 【Planning And Shooting】
“This piece of paper is the company license?”
Hu Juncai lowered his body, his face almost pressed against the coffee table, and stared at a piece of company paper on the coffee table.
“Stop drooling on it.” Kang Jianfei pushed his head away and carefully put away the company license.
Hu Juncai said quickly, “A Fei, let me see what this company license looks like.”
Kang Jianfei had no choice but to take out the piece of paper and sit back on the sofa, thinking about the movie.
Last week, when the “Oriental Daily” just launched the continuous registration, Kang Jianfei took a copy of his ID card and other materials and went to the Huitong business company to hire him to register on his behalf. The whole process of registering the company, Kang Jianfei only spent 803 yuan – of which 800 yuan is the agent registration fee paid to the business company, and the other 3 yuan is the lichen tax paid to the Hong Kong government.
Today, I finally got the company license. Unfortunately, Kang Jianfei’s “Oriental DreamWorks” is still only on paper. There is no office, no employees, except for a company license and Kang Jianfei, the boss, “Oriental DreamWorks” has nothing.
Hu Juncai took the company license and looked at it for a long time before returning it to Kang Jianfei reluctantly. There are still no companies in mainland China, and they are all state-owned or collective enterprises, so Hu Juncai thinks that the company is very mysterious, and Kang Jianfei, who can start a company, is even more powerful.
Kang Jianfei took a piece of paper and drew a table there, drawing the cast and crew of “Happy Ghost”. Regarding the release of the movie, he has made a complete plan, but it is difficult to get the people to make the movie.
Hu Juncai watched TV for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: “That’s right, Ah Fei. Producer Wang praised me today, saying that I acted very well in Changgui, and he wanted to recommend me to play another play. He also said that I If I have the opportunity to be a contracted actor of TVB, I can earn more than 1,500 yuan a month.”
Kang Jianfei waited for him to be happy for a while, and then asked, “Ah Cai, my newly opened company has no staff. I hope you can turn off the TV show and come to help me. Would you like to?”
“Turn off the TV show?” Hu Juncai said anxiously, “That’s a role that I finally got, with more than 50 lines.”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: “If you don’t want to, forget it, I won’t force you.”
Hu Juncai was silent for a while, then asked, “Are you really short of manpower?”
Kang Jianfei sighed: “My entire company, from the boss to the employees, is just me. Do you think I am short of manpower?”
Hu Juncai said with a bit of frustration: “Well, I will tell Producer Wang tomorrow and say I can’t act.”
Kang Jianfei teased him and said, “That’s an important character with more than 50 lines, so you have the heart to lose it?”
Hu Juncai took a deep breath, let out a sullen breath, and said, “We are from a village, can I help you if you have something? Besides, you are still paying the rent alone in the house we live in. You are a brother, but neither can I. Not being polite.”
“Haha,” Kang Jianfei said with a happy smile, “A Cai, how long have you been in Hong Kong, you already know how to show loyalty.”
Hu Juncai patted his chest and said, “I heard from Tang Zhenye, he said that to be a friend, you should show loyalty, otherwise you won’t be a true friend.”
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, “Don’t take anyone as a true friend, or you will be stabbed in the back one day.”
Hu Juncai scratched his head, disapproving of Kang Jianfei’s words.
Kang Jianfei said, “My film may start shooting next week. You come to be my assistant director. That’s the position I’m doing for Uncle Tianlin. I’ll pay you 2,000 yuan a month.”
“Assistant director?” Hu Juncai shook his head again and again and said, “A Fei, I see you running around the field when you are an assistant director, and you have to arrange any work. I think you are very capable and admire you. But I do everything. No, if you ask me to be your assistant, I’ll definitely screw things up.”
Kang Jianfei provoked him with a rather seductive voice: “You can’t learn it! Do you want to be a little actor all your life? With your appearance, you can never play a niche, and you can play an important supporting role in a lifetime, and you can’t buy it until you die. Build a big house. Aren’t you in love with Huang Minyi? She is a Hong Kong woman, and you are a mainland boy. How many years do you have to work to marry her? Will other parents promise to marry their daughter to a poor boy like you? Ah Cai, Take advantage of your youth, let’s fight it with me! The big deal is that if you lose, you have to fight again. People like us are so poor that we have only one life left. If we want to develop, we have to work hard! It is rare to fight back in life. When will the fight wait…”
Kang Jianfei exerted his eloquence, which could compete with Uncle Biao’s, like a magic voice filling his ears. He quickly made Hu Juncai’s brain congested, the veins on his forehead violently jumped, and he clenched his fist with a blushing face and said: “Yes, if you want to develop , you have to work hard. Work hard! Make money! Marry a wife…”
Although Kang Jianfei despised Hu Juncai’s ideals in life, he was still very satisfied with the results of his mobilization. He finally found the first employee for the “Happy Ghost” crew.
As for the photographer, Kang Jianfei can do it himself, but he still has to find a camera assistant. He had to have two cameras to shoot “Happy Ghost”. It was too shabby to use only one camera.
The lighting engineer can be entrusted to Wu Chenggang. Uncle Biao is soft-hearted, and Kang Jianfei believes that he can persuade him. Well, the rest of the lighting team can be recruited by Uncle Biao. After all, he has been in Hong Kong for almost 20 years, and it is still possible to find a few lighting personnel.
The lighting team and photography team are done, and the next step is the recording team and the art team. The recording artist and make-up artist can borrow from the wireless station. After the completion of “Shanghai Beach”, a group of people will be vacated, and Kang Jianfei can just borrow a few.
As for the artist, er, let Kang Jianfei do it himself. If it’s a big deal, we can discuss it together. For example, when Xu Anhua filmed “Crazy Robbery”, there was no artist. If there were not enough manpower, it would pass, and it would save a lot of money.
The best solution for the production crew, they ran to the Clear Water Bay studio and shouted, and a bunch of people rushed over to be the drama manager.
As for the director team and the production team, in addition to the need for a screenwriter and assistant director, Kang Jianfei plans to take up all the other messy positions.
The benefits of Kang Jianfei’s role as an assistant director on the crew of “The Beach” were manifested at this time. He found his usual work record book, screened the people he had contacted one by one, and filled in the appropriate names on the staff form of “Happy Ghost”. Write at least two names for each position, one of which is optional.
After filling out the staff form, Kang Jianfei looked at another cast list, and suddenly had a headache.
The original “Happy Ghost” starred three girls, namely Luo Mingzhu, Li Lizhen and Lin Shanshan. But Kang Jianfei obviously can’t go to them to play. The future **** goddess Li Lizhen is only a 13-year-old loli.
After thinking about it, Kang Jianfei decided to go directly to the middle school campus to find actors. After all, there are too many student roles in this film, and only the school has so many boys and girls.
“Ding dong, ding dong…”
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Hu Juncai, who was taking time to practice boxing, directly crossed the coffee table and ran over to open the door.
A postman stood outside the door and smiled at Hu Juncai, “Please sign for Mr. Kang Jianfei’s package.”
Kang Jianfei was making a rough budget for his movie, and when he heard words from outside the door, he shouted to Hu Juncai, “Acai, please sign for me.”
Hu Juncai touched the package after signing it. He felt that there should be a book inside.
This is the first issue of “Oriental Weekly” after the revision to “Oriental Fashion”. The cover is Zhao Yazhi wearing a black evening dress. The floor-length skirt of the long dress takes up almost one-fifth of the entire cover. Zhao Yazhi stands with her back to the camera, her fragrant shoulders are lightly exposed, and the black skirt lining her fair skin. The strong color contrast is infinitely fascinating.
The finishing touch of the entire cover is Zhao Yazhi’s look back, which perfectly interprets what is called looking back and smiling.
Hu Juncai felt that Zhao Yazhi in the photo made him laugh all over. He pointed to the cover and asked Kang Jianfei, “Is this Sister Zhi? I don’t think she is so beautiful anymore.”
“600,000, why do you have to spend 600,000? Where can you save it?” Kang Jianfei, who was making a budget for filming, raised his head and muttered a few words to himself before turning around and asking Hu Juncai, “You What did you just say?”
“It’s nothing.” Hu Juncai shut up and flipped through the magazine.
……
……
Zhao Yazhi has been in a much better mood recently, but she felt a little guilty about the Oriental Daily’s pointing the finger at Huang Yuanshen and Huang Hanwei – although what the newspaper said was basically the truth, it was too much to add fuel to it.
There are only a few days left for the shooting of “Shanghai Beach”, and Zhao Yazhi’s life has gradually returned to the previous state. He just misses his son a little bit, and plans to go home in two days.
Zhao Yazhi went upstairs alone after filming. She was accustomed to having Kang Jianfei take her home, but she suddenly felt that something was missing. The experience of this period has made her feel a vague sense of dependence on Kang Jianfei.
I don’t know what Ah Fei is doing these days, he seems to be very busy. Zhao Yazhi was thinking wildly, took out the key to open the door and entered the house. Just as he was about to turn on the light, the light in the room turned on by itself.
Zhao Yazhi thought there was a thief at home, and was about to scream loudly, but saw Kang Jianfei come over with a cake full of smiles, and hummed a song: “Happy birthday to you, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com wishes you a birthday hapiness…
At this moment, Zhao Yazhi seemed to be hit by a bullet of happiness, standing there helplessly moved to tears. She herself forgot her birthday, and no one from her relatives and friends came to bless her, but Kang Jianfei remembered it clearly.
“Sister Zhi, happy birthday!” Kang Jianfei smiled innocently.
Zhao Yazhi’s body seemed to be pulled by a force, and he threw himself into Kang Jianfei’s embrace, and said excitedly, “A Fei, thank you, you are so kind to me.”
Kang Jianfei had a smug smile on his face, stroked her hair and said, “Don’t talk about that, come and make a wish and blow out the candles.”
“Well.” Zhao Yazhi held his heart in both hands, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and then blew out the candle in one breath.
Kang Jianfei asked, “What wish did you make?”
Zhao Yazhi blushed and said in a coquettish tone, “I won’t tell you.”
Kang Jianfei didn’t ask any more questions, but took out the book “Oriental Fashion” and said, “This is my birthday present to you, and it will be officially released tomorrow.”
Zhao Yazhi took the magazine suspiciously. After seeing the peerless beauty on the cover, she asked incredulously, “Is this me?”
“Of course it’s you, a brand new you.” Kang Jianfei’s tone was like a magician.
Kang Jianfei does not have any peerless talent, but he has an advanced vision. If he takes out anything in advance, it will cause the whole Hong Kong situation to change.
This is the case for the upcoming “Oriental Fashion”, and the same is true for the release plan of “Happy Ghost” formulated by Kang Jianfei.
