When Kang Jian flew to the capital, he happened to meet Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" hit.

The production unit of this movie is no longer Xi'an Film Studio, but DreamWorks and China Film Co., Ltd. is still the same as the old rules. DreamWorks pay money, the middle-class company produces people, and then the overseas box office of DreamWorks owns, while the box office of mainland China allows the middle-class company to make money.

Now many directors in Hong Kong have chosen to cooperate with the mainland, and the cheap manual and live-action shooting convenience has even attracted investors in Taiwan.

However, Taiwan will have to wait a year before allowing film and television producers to go to the mainland to make films. Nowadays, Taiwanese investors use Hong Kong companies as springboards and turn to the mainland.

"Who are these people?" Gong Li threw away the newspaper angrily. She was happy to read several newspapers that she praised, but she suddenly saw an article accusing her.

Strictly speaking, this article does not only criticize Gong Li, but also scolds the entire crew of "Red Sorghum" for being shameless and corrupts the social atmosphere. The reason is very simple, because there is a wild/sex/love scene between Gong Li and Jiang Wen in "Red Sorghum".

"What are you angry about this kind of article? The people who write articles must have heard that there are wild and wild plays, and I guess they have never even entered the cinema to read them." Kang Jianfei comforted with a smile.

If the scene in "Red Sorghum" is considered a passionate scene, then all the movies made by Kang Jianfei are 18 forbidden. Jiang Wen carried Gong Li and threw her into the sorghum field, and then Jiang Wen knelt down. The two of them didn't even hug each other and ate a few bites. They didn't even touch the camera and then took pictures of the natural scenery.

"I'm just so angry that these people just write randomly without watching movies." Gong Li said angrily.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I guess they don't have time to queue up."

Two days ago, when Kang Jianfei and Ye Zipei were watching movies in Huadu, the cinema also showed "Red Sorghum", but it took at least two hours to see it.

The shooting cost of "Red Sorghum" is 4.5 million. Kang Jianfei appointed him to direct Zhang Yimou and starring Jiang Wen and Gong Li. When Mo Yan adapted the script, Zhang Yimou spent half a year to plant a large piece of sorghum in order to set up the outdoor scene.

Just two months ago, "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in West Germany. Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and Jiang Wen also showed their faces, and mainland media were covering the incident for a while.

With such popularity, "Red Sorghum" was released in major cinemas in mainland China, and the ticket prices of movies across the country ranged from 2 cents to 1 yuan. Because "Red Sorghum" was really welcomed by the prefect, the ticket prices of movies rose rapidly, and the most expensive place even sold 10 yuan per movie ticket.

Kang Jianfei felt incredible when he heard this price. The price of movie tickets in Hong Kong is only in the early 20s. Many people in mainland China earn less than 100 yuan a month. What is the difference between a movie ticket worth 10 yuan per ticket and robbing money? But some people are willing to spend this money in vain to see it.

According to relevant statistics, in the early 1980s, the average number of viewers per movie was about 208 million (including the organization of movie viewing by government agencies and rural projection teams). In the mid-to-late 1980s, due to the blooming of video halls across the country, the number of viewers per movie in mainland China was close to 200 million.

Each movie has 200 million people watching. This data will definitely make the whole world ashamed, although there are many box offices in it that cannot be collected - for example, many of the rural projection teams are free.

"Red Sorghum" definitely made profits from the middle-class companies and local cinemas. Unfortunately, this Kang Jianfei has nothing to do with it. DreamWorks can only earn overseas box office based on the cooperation agreement.

"Dingling..."

Gong Li sat on Kang Jian's flying legs and answered the phone: "Hey, it's Director Zhang. Yes, I'm at home... Now, I'm a little inconvenient. Let's go to me some other day...what, you're in the Central Academy of Drama, come to me right away? I'm really worried..."

"Zhang Yimou?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Gong Li hung up the phone helplessly: "He said he wanted to come to talk to me about the serious matters, and the next drama is full of ideas."

"He is very diligent, and he is rushing to film one movie after another." Kang Jianfei smiled.

Gong Li said: "He has ulterior motives. He hasn't even started writing the script of the new drama yet. I have anything to talk about when I ask me, and why do I continue to let me be the heroine."

In another time and space, Gong Li was fascinated by the talented director Zhang during her time in "Red Sorghum", and the two got hooked up while filming.

Now that Kang Jianfei has been with Kang Yimou, how could Zhang Yimou be able to catch Gong Li's eyes? He is not at the same level in terms of talent, fame, appearance and age. Although Kang Jianfei has many "quintessential" in his heart, at least he is not married yet, and Zhang Yimou's children can make a fuss.

Gong Li’s current residence is not far outside the Central Academy of Drama. It was a house with a small courtyard bought by Kang Jianfei for her, and it was claimed that Gong Li rented it.

Not long after, Kang Jianfei heard a bicycle ringtone, and then another knock on the door.

Kang Jianfei patted Gong Li's "Qiaotun" and asked her to get up from her legs. Then he went over and opened the door. He saw Zhang Yimou standing at the door. There was also a bicycle riding by Zhang Yimou in the yard, and next to the bicycle was Santana that Kang Jianfei flew away.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" Kang Jianfei stretched out his hand and looked at Zhang Yimou with a smile.

"Kang...Mr. Kang, you are here too. Hello, hello!" Zhang Yimou smiled awkwardly.

Kang Jianfei appeared in Gong Li's rental house. Zhang Yimou didn't know the relationship between them, and immediately stopped having an extramarital affair. The bicycle was too shabby compared to the car.

"Come in and sit down." Kang Jianfei invited generously.

"Okay." Zhang Yimou couldn't refuse, so he could only follow Kang Jian into the house.

Gong Li made a cup of tea for Zhang Yimou, and sat beside Kang Jianfei in a regular manner, using her actions to express her attitude to Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou felt that he was stupid. Kang Jianfei appointed Gong Li as the heroine, so it was impossible for no reason. Why didn't he think about that?

Zhang Yimou did not dare to beat Gong Li anymore and said to Kang Jianfei: "Mr. Kang, I really thank you for your investment and trust, otherwise I would not have the chance to stand on the podium of international film events."

"It's nothing, I have the benefits of investing in movies. "Red Sorghum" is a joint production of DreamWorks and the Chinese-made company." Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "The release of "Red Sorghum" in Hong Kong is scheduled for next month. Should Director Zhang go to Hong Kong to promote it?"

Zhang Yimou said: "I won't go. I don't have much fame in Hong Kong, so it won't do much to do publicity."

"I'm going to take Gong Li to Hong Kong to develop, but if Director Zhang wants to make a movie in the future, the heroine will think about her first." Kang Jianfei said.

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "Gong Li is very good at acting. She will definitely become famous when she goes to Hong Kong to develop with Mr. Kang. If there is a suitable role in the future, I will definitely find her. As long as she doesn't think that she has a low salary after filming with me."

Gong Li joked: "I will get a prize after filming with Director Zhang, and I can't give you a salary."

"By the way, Director Zhang just said on the phone that he wanted to make a new film. Do I need to invest in it?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Zhang Yimou plans to film "Judou", the first Chinese film nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. The original time and space were invested by the Japanese.

Kang Jianfei actually wanted to invest in making Chen Kai's film "Farewell My Concubine", but unfortunately the copyright of this movie was bought by Xu Feng a few years ago.

Zhang Yimou has just had the idea of ​​adapting the novel into a movie now, and the funds have not been in place. Now Kang Jianfei takes the initiative to give the money, so he naturally agrees in one go.

The two discussed for a while, and Kang Jianfei said, "Gong Li followed me to Hong Kong to shoot a movie. The filming will be completed in October at most. You can prepare slowly."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "It takes a lot of time for me to make the script, and I also have to form a crew and select an outdoor shooting location. The filming may not be started next year."

"Then let's just say that." Kang Jianfei took Gong Li to Hong Kong to shoot movies for box office, and let her star in Zhang Yimou's movies to win fame and trophy.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yimou finally rode his bicycle away, and the sound of a car engine sounded in the yard.

"That was Director Zhang just now." Hu Juncai walked in with his wife Ye Zishan.

Kang Jianfei greeted the two of them and sat down, saying, "It's him, talking about some movies."

Hu Juncai sighed: "The "Red Sorghum" you invested in is crazy, and you can hear people talking about this movie wherever you go."

The relationship between Kang Jianfei and Gong Li is already very clear. Ye Zishan regards Gong Li as her own person and asks: "Xiao Li doesn't dare to go out now, she will be recognized wherever she goes."

Gong Li knew Ye Zishan’s family background a little and deliberately praised: “It’s okay. But I rely on movies. I’m as beautiful as Sister Shan, and the rate of returning on the street is definitely 100%.

The two women were chatting about interesting things about filming movies. Kang Jianfei remembered his experiences in Huadu and asked: "Acai, now we are buying and stocking up all over the country. Is there any problem with our department store?"

"How can there be any problem?" Hu Juncai said, "We have our own supply channels and we hope that the people can rush to buy it every day. But the prices have indeed risen a little outrageously. Do you think China will have an economic crisis like the West?"

"You're thinking too much." Kang Jianfei knew that the economic crisis was a social overcapacity, but the Celestial Empire was now in short supply.

Ye Zishan suddenly interrupted, "Brother Fei, I will be transferred to Hong Kong in the second half of the year, so you need to take more care of me."

Kang Jianfei said in surprise: "Aren't you in the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League? Are you two going to Hong Kong and you two going to separate?"

Ye Zishan curled her lips and said, "The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League is too boring and boring. I want to transfer to Xinhua News Agency to work in Hong Kong. It would be better to go there to gain a lot of experience."

Kang Jianfei warned: "If you transfer it over, don't get too close to President Xu. This person is not reliable at all, and there will be problems sooner or later."

Ye Zishan smiled and said, "I know what President Xu is doing. If it weren't for his good deals with many Hong Kong businessmen, it would be hard to say whether he could step down smoothly."

"Haha, I'm too worried. You are the eldest lady of the Ye family." Kang Jianfei smiled self-deprecatingly.
Chapter completed!
