"Each person is buried in his own seats and is ready to turn on the computer!"
"Mr. Zombie's 6th, 3rd mirror, Action!"
This is a British-style western-style building, with two cameras aiming at Lou Nanguang and Li Saifeng in the center of the living room.
A slutty smile appeared on Lou Nanguang's face, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his expression. Such a complex expression made him show it very naturally. This was his unique bitch expression.
Lou Nanguang twisted his butt and took off his clothes. Lin Zhengying, who was standing behind the camera, waved his hand violently. Lou Nanguang immediately rushed to the side and knocked over a Grand Master chair there.
"Ah!" Li Saifeng screamed and covered her eyes, and hid aside. The camera controlled by Zhong Zhiwen had already turned the camera to the door, where Aki Sheng, played by Kang Jianfei, suddenly pulled Xu Guanying away.
"Click! Prepare for the next set of shots." Chen Xunqi, who had been looking at the director's viewfinder, immediately shouted.
Lou Nanguang then got up from the ground. The two previous sets of shots were important jokes in the film. He and Xu Guanying rehearsed countless times in the hotel last night. With Kang Jianfei and Lin Zhengying's high requirements for this scene, they only passed twice. This is really rare.
The next few sets of shots are much simpler and they are taken in less than an hour.
"It's time to eat!"
The people from the field service team were pushing the cart and waiting outside, and the lunch boxes were already arranged there one by one.
As soon as the crew members heard the meal started, they immediately rushed out, but Qi Bo brought the field staff in to clean up the shooting scene he had just used.
Several eye-catching actors brought the lunch box to deliver it. Li Saifeng took one and handed it to Kang Jianfei first, and asked, "Master, I'm doing it pretty well, right?"
"Well, it's not bad, it's improved." Kang Jianfei encouraged with a smile.
Although Li Saifeng is the heroine of this movie, she is still a vase when she looks closely, and her role is absolutely incomparable to her in "Happy Ghost". However, Li Saifeng's acting skills are obvious to all. Her lines and expressions are not as stiff as her before acting. Even the stereotyped Lin Zhengying said that she is very spiritual.
Only two days after filming started, the innocent and cute Li Saifeng became the little princess of the crew. As long as she was idle, there would be people around her at any time. There was no way, the entire crew, including the hairstylist and Pan Yingzi, were only three women. The hairstyle was not good at appearance, and Pan Yingzi had no man to provoke her, so Li Saifeng was the most liked by everyone.
Kang Jianfei just opened the lunch box, and Wu Chenggang brought his lighting assistant over and said to him: "Call Director Kang!"
The lighting assistant looked like he was in his early 20s. With Pan Yingzi's help, he packed and recruited him on the spot with a few extras a few days ago. Although this person was young, he had a cleverness. After seeing Kang Jianfei, he quickly greeted him in a regular manner: "Hello Director Kang!"
Wu Chenggang sat beside Kang Jianfei with a lunch box and said, "This kid has a good understanding. He used to be an assistant to a lighting clerk at Huixing Film Company. Ah Fei, I want to accept him as an apprentice and take him to Hong Kong for development."
Kang Jianfei looked carefully at the young man in front of him who was a few years older than him. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked, and couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"
The young man smiled flatteringly and said, "Director Kang, my name is Zhang Dongliang."
Cao, I said it looks so familiar, it turns out that it is you, the old boy!
Before I traveled through time, ** still owed me two meals.
Zhang Dongliang, a lighting expert, later became a director, screenwriter and photographer, but the best person was still a photographer, and he won many photography awards. He has served as a photographer for movies such as Donnie Yen's single version of "The King of the Uniform Guard", Zhao Wei's version of "Mulan", and "The Dragon's Armor Removal" and so on.
This person later signed the same film and television company with Kang Jianfei. When Kang Jianfei first debuted as a photographer, Zhang Dongliang was the photography director for several movies, and Kang Jianfei was still half of his apprentice. After the two collaborated on several movies, their personal relationship was pretty good. The reason why Kang Jianfei could climb so fast was also due to Zhang Dongliang's help. However, Zhang Dongliang went back to Taiwan after the contract period came, and neither of them had ever met again until the time travel.
Kang Jianfei and Zhang Dongliang were friends for ages in his previous life. He was often called by this guy. Now he finally had the chance to return it. He coughed and said, "Well, the young man looks pretty good. I will work hard with your master in the future. I will pay attention to you!"
Zhang Dongliang was encouraged by Kang Jianfei and happily received the lunch box. Wu Cheng said just now: "A Fei, "Happy Ghost" premiered in Taipei last night. A Cai and I went to a cinema to watch it. The attendance rate is so low, about 30%."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "30%? It's very high. Cheng Long is so famous in Taiwan. "The Junior Brother" was only 60% attendance when it was first released. It seems that the promotion of Taiwanese film merchants is good."
Wu Chenggang nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the box office market in Taiwan has been in a downturn recently, which is really a headache."
"I'm not the only one who has a headache. What am I worried about?" Kang Jianfei smiled heartlessly.
…………
…………
The box office of "Happy Ghost" in Taiwan was very bad on the first day, only more than NT$300,000. If the box office in the past two years was less than NT$3 million a week, the money earned would not be enough to pay the theater's base fee.
Of course, due to the current market recession, the theater side has also gritted its teeth and reduced the base fee accordingly. The film manufacturers, producers and theaters have all had a hard time.
In the second week of its release, the box office situation improved slightly, but compared with Cheng Long's "The Junior Brother Takes Out", it is still much worse. Half a month later, the cumulative box office of "Happy Ghost" in Taiwan was only over 5 million, which was equivalent to a pitiful 1 million Hong Kong dollars. This data was scattered to the huge Taiwan market, which was really terrible...
However, the box office curve of "Happy Ghost" is very interesting. Generally, movies are parabolas that rise and fall, but "Happy Ghost" is almost a straight line. Its rise is not obvious, and there is no trend of box office decline. However, the attendance rate has always been very low, which makes it difficult for the two theaters to screen "Happy Ghost".
This situation is a waste of money. It won’t make much money to continue to be released, so it’s a pity to just drop the painting.
After continuously reducing the canvas of "Happy Ghost", the average attendance rate finally exceeded 50%. Due to the location of the theater and most theaters in Taiwan are now single-hall cinemas, it is impossible to reduce the canvas again, and the audience can only be lost in vain.
In addition, this period is the off-season of the movies, and there are few films available for screenings. The two theaters simply threw "Happy Ghost" there, and they were still being released in secondary theaters in a desperate situation.
During this period, Kang Jianfei also went to see the theater with less than 500 seats, with 180 audiences sitting in a row, and then burst into cold laughter from time to time. The situation was so miserable.
A month later, there are still 8 screens in Taiwan that are still screening "Happy Ghost". What is rare is that the attendance rate has not fallen below 30%. Taiwan's cumulative box office has reached more than 8.2 million, which is equivalent to Hong Kong dollars but is less than 2 million.
This is a very honorable achievement, enough to rank among the top ten in Taiwan's annual box office list in 1980...
Throughout the first half of the year, the box office of "The Junior Brother" starring Cheng Long and "The Sky" starring Lin Qingxia has more box offices in Taiwan than "Happy Ghost".
Because of this, Kang Jianfei is well-known in the Taiwanese film circle. After all, he proved his strength with his "strong" box office.
In contrast, in Southeast Asia, until all the paintings were lost, the total box office of "Happy Ghost" reached more than 3.1 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars.
