Chapter 83 Meeting with Hong Jinbao
When he finished lunch at Hongxing Seafood Restaurant, it was already past 2 pm. Guan Yonglan first asked the neighbor who was working in the restaurant to help bring the packaged dishes back. Kang Hu was not stingy, so he asked the neighbor to order three dishes home, which was a reward for help.
Then Kang Hu took the Guan sisters out for fun. When there were outsiders in the hotel, Guan Yonghe still pulled Kang Hu's arm, while Guan Yonglan kept a distance from Kang Hu. This was agreed by the two. In the end, Guan Yonglan would have to work here for a while, and there were neighbors there, so it was not said that he would crush someone under his tongue.
As for the necklace, both women did not take off, fortunately, the Guan sisters are very traditional women. Even if the weather is a little hot, they don’t wear clothes that open the collar and expose their breasts, so they can’t see them from the outside by covering the necklace with clothes.
Kang Hu took the Guan sisters to play for an afternoon, and the dinner was eaten at McDonald's. Because Guan Yonghe was going to school tomorrow, Guan Yonglan also showed off her majesty as a sister in front of Kang Hu, and preached Guan Yonghe who wanted to continue playing with Kang Hu, so that Guan Yonghe held Kang Hu's arm and leaped into his arms.
After sending the Guan sisters home, they saw Guan Yonghe waving his hands pitifully on the balcony, Kang Hu smiled and took the bus home.
This day passed, Kang Hu dealt with three women, especially the Guan sisters in the afternoon. It turned out that when the three of them were alone, Kang Hu could only hold the Guan sisters' hands. Today, Kang Hu hugged the two of them, and neither of them opposed it. This has to be said to be another great progress.
It was already past 8 o'clock when Kang Hu arrived home, but Zhao Luizhi was still cooking and waiting for him. This moved Kang Hu very much. In short, the process was restricted...
Last night, Kang Hu told Zhao Luizhi that Zhao Luizhi would not work in three shifts anymore, because Kang Hu would have to film and would be very busy at that time, so Zhao Luizhi had to take care of Kang Hu every day.
※I am ※bad※bad※splitting line
The next morning, Kang Hu and Zhao Yazhi got up at the same time. This was also agreed the night before yesterday that Zhao Luizhi could not get up the next day...
The two walked out of the house together, but they separated downstairs. Now that Zhao Luizhi is popular, it is better to be careful, so Kang Hu had to take a taxi to Fendou Film Company to find Mecca.
When he saw Mecca here again, Mecca's face was blooming happily. He excitedly held Kang Hu's hand, pulled Kang Hu into the office, and then pressed Kang Hu on the chair.
"Ahu, just came back from the United States?" Mecca asked about Kang Hu's recent situation, and before Kang Hu answered, he smiled: "This month you are no longer, our "Salted Fish Resurrection" will be a big sale. If the subsequent movies were not waiting for release, "Salted Fish Resurrection" would have been a box office of 4 million yuan."
"I already know this. I bought a newspaper on the day I came back. Congratulations!" Kang Hu said it sincerely. Mecca and the others have indeed brought many classic memories to Kang Hu.
Mecca set off and said, "This is not the biggest thing. Princess Jin's Lei Juekun is already interested in investing in our film company and supporting us in setting up a new company. We are busy with this matter recently!"
As for inviting Kang Hu to join the new company, neither Mecca nor Lei Juekun nor Kang Hu himself had thought that the first two would not be shared by people, and Kang Hu would not care about that little bit of shares.
Kang Hu sighed in his heart, what should come is coming, and when the new art city was established, it means that Kang Hu and Mecca will become competitors from partners. They may not be as incompatible as Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, but they will not be able to return to their previous relationship.
"Congratulations! With Princess Jin joining, Brother Mai, you will definitely be able to make a big picture!"
"Haha, I'll lend you a good word. Ah Hu is here for the money sharing this time! But the movie has just finished painting, and it's still a while." Mecca asked with a smile.
"There is no hurry to make money. I want to ask Brother Mai to ask Brother Sanmao for me. I want to discuss something with him." Kang Hu said his purpose.
Mecca touched the bald head and guessed, "Look for Sanmao, are you going to find him to film?"
"Brother Mai is really amazing. Yes, I have a script in my hand and want to find Brother Sanmao to act." Kang Hu said directly without hiding it.
Mecca thought about it and actually felt ashamed of Kang Hu. In fact, Kang Hu was kind to the trio of Fendou Company. After all, Kang Hu pulled them in the most difficult time.
"Okay! I'll contact you now." Mecca said and picked up the phone.
During this period, Hong Jinbao filmed "The Uncontrollable" and "The Salted Fish" and are now resting at home, so the phone call was quickly answered. Mecca said Kang Hu was looking for him, and also said that Kang Hu was looking for him to film. In the end, Mecca said something good for Kang Hu, which was considered to make up for the guilt of Kang Hu. Finally, Hong Jinbao had a conversation with Kang Hu again and finally decided to discuss in detail at Xiang Ji Teahouse in the afternoon.
Kang Hu put down the phone and expressed his gratitude to Mecca. Then the two of them talked for another half an hour before Kang Hu got up to say goodbye. Mecca sent Kang Hu to the door and said that they would notify him when the dividends were paid.
After leaving Fendou Company, Kang Hu went to another business agency recommended by Mai Jiahua and entrusted a film company license.
Then he went to the largest camera store on Yaliao Street to order three latest cameras, and at the same time ordered a set of recording equipment in a nearby audio store. As for other equipment, sets of lights, sets, track cars and other equipment and props, Kang Hu was planning to rent it at Princess Jin, these were too fragmentary, and Kang Hu was not short of money, so he was too lazy to buy them one by one.
In fact, Kang Hu's most jealous is a photography system that eats dust in Shaw's warehouse. Ju said that when he bought this system in 1977, it cost 5 million Hong Kong dollars. It was specially bought by Shaw's specially for the Hong Kong version of King Kong "The King of the Orangutan". "The King of the Orangutan" was originally the pioneering work of Shaw's ambition to enter the world film market, but the opening work became a farewell work. After the movie was released, it was a mess. Since then, Shaw gave up entering the world market and kept its South Asian and Japanese-Taiwan markets until it closed down.
It is said that there were only four of this machine in the United States and three of them in Asia, which was the world's most advanced shooting system.
After buying things, Kang Hu called to contact the lighting, camera, venues, etc. that he had worked with before. Kang Hu just knew these people, but it was a big deal to say that the relationship was good, so Kang Hu had to pay one-third of the labor for this.
Of course, Kang Hu couldn't make phone calls one by one. There were at least twenty people in a crew, including lighting, cameras, and venues, all of which were like the team leader. As long as you contact the people who were in charge, you naturally wouldn't need Kang Hu to do anything else.
Finally, Kang Hu went to Princess Jin again and stuffed a red envelope of 500 Hong Kong dollars to the logistics manager to pick some good things. You must know that the same thing can be divided into new, old and good. If all the things are given are half good or bad, it will affect the shooting process and effect, and may even lead to accidents.
Kang Hu set up all the equipment to be used and registered. He just pulled it away when the movie started filming. Kang Hu walked out of Princess Jin in the morning.
It took Kang Hu only one morning to form his own crew. Although there is the pursuit of Hong Kong filmmakers at this time, Kang Hu also established a connection between the two crews.
This is one of the reasons why Kang Hu followed Mecca and others to film two movies. Otherwise, you would not know who to look for as soon as you came up, so how could you do it like Kang Hu?
Kang Hu looked at the following table and it was almost time to reach the agreed time with Hong Jinbao. Kang Hu didn't have lunch, so he was preparing to go to the teahouse he had made an appointment to have something casually.
Kang Hu reached the teahouse, found a location near the second floor, and ordered some refreshments. The refreshments were prepared in advance, so they were quickly brought up. Just as Kang Hu was swallowing each other, Hong Jinbao's burly body appeared at the entrance of the stairs.
"Brother Sanmao! Here." Kang Hu kept paying attention to the stairs and greeted.
Seeing Kang Hu, Hong Jinbao walked over with a smile. Kang Hu quickly stood up and held Hong Jinbao's outstretched hand. The two of them exchanged greetings and took their seats.
Sammo Hung looked at the empty plate on the table and said, "Ah Hu didn't eat anything this day?"
"Yes! I've been going to the crew all morning, so I'm just free and eat something." Kang Hu said with a smile.
"There is no trouble, right?" Hong Jinbao admired Kang Hu's spirit and couldn't help but ask questions.
"It's okay, it's all done. As long as you make sure the actors are confirmed, you can start filming." Kang Hu patted his chest and then took out the script from his carry-on bag and handed it to Hong Jinbao and said, "Brother Sanmao, you can read this script first, it's definitely suitable for you, Brother Sanmao."
Hong Jinbao smiled and did not speak, but took the script. As soon as he took the script, Hong Jinbao's eyes lit up. Kang Hu's script cover reads "Ghost Fighting Ghosts". Below are the words "Story of the Stories" and the bottom is the author Kang Hu.
It looks formal and thick at first glance. Compared with the script he saw before that only had a story outline, it was a comparison between tall, rich and handsome, short and poor.
In half an hour, Kang Hu was eating pastries while waiting for Hong Jinbao to read the script.
"Ah Hu, I have to say that your script is really good, and the storyboards are also very exquisitely drawn." Sammo Hung said on the last page of the script.
"Did Brother Sanmao feel settled?" Kang Hu asked bluntly.
Hong Jinbao did not speak but stretched out his hand. Kang Hu didn't understand. The two held each other together and then began to talk about other things.
Chapter completed!
