Entertainment 1998

Chapter 546 Chapter 545, After-sales service of "Seeing a Ghost".

18 Harcourt Road Admiralty Centre
It is a very ordinary office building, which looks a bit shabby from a distance, but the well-known Enlightenment Pictures is located on the 12th floor of this office building.

After getting off the car in the underground parking lot, Jiang Feng was about to ask Zhang Guorong and Shu Qi which way to go up, when he saw Jiang Zhiqiang waiting at the elevator entrance not far ahead.

"Jiang Feng, congratulations!"

"Boss Jiang, I should be the one congratulating you. I'll sell you the remake rights of the movie 'Seeing a Ghost' for 20 Hong Kong dollars. How about we renegotiate the price and sign a new agreement?"

"Haha, forget it."

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed loudly.

"Jiang Feng, I didn't expect you to be so lucky. The plot of 'Seeing Ghosts' actually perfectly matches the 911/ incident in the United States. Originally, this movie was just mediocre in the eyes of Americans, but after such a commotion, it immediately became a hot topic of discussion around the world."

Jiang Feng and Jiang Zhiqiang became friends during the filming of the movie "Hero". When they met again now, they naturally gave each other a warm hug as soon as they saw each other.

And at this moment, Jiang Feng suddenly understood what Jiang Zhiqiang meant.

Jiang Feng, I got the upper hand. I didn't expect that the movie "Seeing the Ghost" would become so popular at a time when Americans were suffering. But, I will not treat my friends unfairly.

Come to my crew and I will give you a subsidy of 2 Hong Kong dollars every day.

Ok…

Jiang Feng naturally couldn't be stingy with his friends like this, so after they went upstairs and walked into the Anle Films meeting room, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Jiang, Brother Zong, Miss Lin, um, maybe Miss Lin knows something, that is, the Jinxin Building, known as the most haunted house in Taipei, is located on Jinzhou Street in Zhongshan District, Taipei..."

"I know, I know." Jiang Feng just opened his mouth, and Shu Qi rushed to say:
"The Jinxin Building is located at the intersection of Jinzhou Street and Xinsheng North Road in Zhongshan District, Taipei. Over the past 20 years, dozens of people have died in this building, earning it the reputation of "Taipei's No. 1 Haunted House."

The Jinxin Building was first built in 1976 and was known as the Butterfly Building. It is said to have used New York's cutting-edge technology at the time - fully enclosed glass curtain walls. It is the most advanced residential and commercial building in Taipei.

The building has 14 floors and initially sold 240 suites.

At that time, the 1st and 2nd floors were for imported goods and high-end restaurants, the 3rd to 5th floors were for offices, and the 6th floor and above were for exquisite suites. The most luxurious thing was that its rooftop terrace was actually a helipad.

As a result, all 240 suites were sold out quickly.

In the 80s, when Taiwan's economy was taking off, the erotic industry also took off along with the economy.

At that time, the largest hotels in the surrounding area were 666 and Datun Hotel. When some singing and dancing girls wanted to become self-employed, Jinxin Building became the best choice. They could rent a suite in the building and start working from nine to five...”

At this point, Shu Qi was suddenly stunned.

"Brother Feng, I understand what you mean. Do you want to replace the building that appears in the American version of "Seeing a Ghost" with the real Taipei's most haunted house?"

“Haha…, not bad.”

Seeing that Shu Qi understood what he meant, Jiang Feng gave her a thumbs up.

"Yesterday, I thought about it all night. The reason why the American version of "Seeing a Ghost" is so popular is actually because ordinary people in the United States now have a sense of immersion.

They would think to themselves, if I was stopped by the crew of "Seeing the Ghost" downstairs of the World Trade Center Building 1, would I have escaped this disaster?
Similarly, if you were to remake this movie, you would have to look for a well-known hotspot around Asia. The Jinxin Building is legendary enough. In 1984, a fire trapped more than 300 people and claimed 19 lives.

In 1986, a girl named Xiaomei jumped from this building. She did not die, but killed an old man selling fruit downstairs. It is said that the old man would possess Xiaomei at 10 o'clock every night and say to himself: I died so unjustly.

At the end of 1996, a fire broke out here again, but this time, because someone discovered the fire in advance, although the fire was large, only two people died, one of whom was seriously injured and died in the hospital. The deceased was the person who discovered the fire in advance.

Having said this, Jiang Feng stopped.

This time, not only Jiang Zhiqiang, Shu Qi and Zhang Guorong understood, but even the director Liu Zhenwei who had just walked in understood what Jiang Feng meant.

"Jiang Feng, what you mean is that we design the deceased who discovered the fire in Jinxin Building two years ago as the cornea donor in the film.

Then, after the heroine has her cornea replaced, she goes to explore the story behind the deceased?"

"Hehe, yes, Director Liu, that's what I meant." Seeing Liu Zhenwei, Jiang Feng smiled and shook hands with him, then took the initiative to sit in a corner of the conference room and took out his mobile phone.

Dude is here to have fun.

After giving the ideas, I will naturally retreat behind the scenes. As for how the movie is made..., that's your own business and has nothing to do with me.

Jiang Feng was bored, so he wanted to chat with Wang Fei, who was in Taipei promoting her new album, via text message.

Speaking of which, Wang Fei's fate this year is really bad. It was not easy to get her new album "Wait a Minute" popular through the promotion of national television and Phoenix TV...

But just when EMI Music and she herself were ready to do a big thing, the 911/ incident in the United States happened.

Now, no matter whether it is major domestic or foreign media, no matter what type of news it is, they have to give in to this news event.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng shook his head with some emotion.

Or should I write a text message to comfort her? !

But before Jiang Feng had finished editing his text message, Wang Fei's text message came.

[A Feng, what are you doing? ]

[At Edko Films.]

【What did you do there? 】

〔After-sales service! 〕

【After-sales service? 】

[Yes, some time ago, I sold the remake rights of a movie to Edko Films. Today, the project was officially launched. I came here to take a look and give them some suggestions.]

[Oh…I see.]

[Jiang Feng, are you with Zhang Guorong now? ]

〔You can say that. 〕

[Well, Jiang Feng, there is such a thing. I heard it from Lin Qingxia, but it has not been confirmed. Please help me observe him.

Just a while ago, his friend Mr. Tang cheated on his girlfriend, and he caught it. He has been wanting to break up with her, but he is afraid of being laughed at by his peers and the public. 】

[After all, the two of them held hands publicly in front of the media. ]

wipe…

Jiang Feng finally understood one thing.

Why did Zhang Guorong resolutely leave this world two years later? It turns out that this was the crux of the problem. He had no way to relieve the depression in his heart, so the more he thought about it, the more he would get stuck in a dead end.

Until the end, I just couldn't get over it.

〔Yes, I understand.〕

After figuring out the key points, Jiang Feng sent a text message back to Wang Fei.

[Uh..., Feng, what does "you know" mean? ]

[I know, I know, it doesn’t mean anything.]

Jiang Feng replied to a text message with a smile, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly walked out of the conference room of Emperor Entertainment Group, and then walked out of the building of Haifu Center.

The Hoi Fu Centre is not far from Admiralty MTR Station, and it only takes 15 minutes to walk there. There are many small stalls at the entrance of the steel station, selling all kinds of things.

They sell water, newspapers, books and magazines, pirated discs, and of course, mobile phone cards. These cards are basically HK$60 each and are enough for making local calls on Hong Kong Island for about a week.

These mobile phone cards are basically for mainland tourists.

Standing in front of the stall, Jiang Feng took a casual look, threw 600 Hong Kong dollars to the stall owner, and took 10 mobile phone cards in one go.

After getting the SIM card, Jiang Feng bought a cheap mobile phone at a mobile phone store on the street. After installing the SIM card, he sent a text message to a phone number that he had memorized.

[Luo Sheng, help me do a dirty job and I will give you 20 Hong Kong dollars.]
