Feng Xiaogang could not hide Kang Jianfei's face, so he ran to the Magic City to play "Kung Fu". Unexpectedly, he actually took on a shooting mission from a large factory. ※%
Generally speaking, Feng Xiaogang was not qualified to direct tribute films from major studios like Shanghai Film Studios. If Kang Jianfei had not helped him speak, it would be impossible for him to do this job.
Feng Xiaogang was extremely excited. This movie "The Sound of the Wind" was a blockbuster planned by Kang Jianfei and produced by Shanghai Film Studio. It was also a work of National Day tribute. As long as the movie was made well, his fame and status in the circle could rise rapidly. This kind of movie is not comparable to "The Story of the Editorial Department" and "Beijing People in New York". It is a national day tribute film that can be directed by a major manufacturer. It is itself a kind of affirmation of the director within the system.
After filming the cameo scene of "Kung Fu", Feng Xiaogang did not go back immediately, but instead pestered Kang Jianfei to tell more details and ideas about "The Sound of the Wind", and then followed the screenwriter found by the studio to create the script.
In just six days, the first draft of the script of "The Sound of the Wind" was made. Feng Xiaogang came to the crew with the script and asked Kang Jian to fly axe to correct it. Kang Jianfei proposed some "his own" ideas based on the plot in his memory. Feng Xiaogang immediately took the script back to modify it.
After three revisions, it took half a month to finish the script and came to ask Kang Jianfei if he had any ideas about the character.
If Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige is the director, he must select actors according to his own ideas. Even Jiang Wen is very persistent in casting. But Feng Xiaogang is different. He is still a new girl in the field of film directors, just like a daughter-in-law who has just entered the house, everything depends on her parents-in-law's face.
"Shanghai Film Studio has already designated actors for the roles of Li Ningyu and Wu Zhiguo." Feng Xiaogang honestly explained. His meaning was to let Kang Jianfei arrange actors in the remaining roles.
This kind of tribute blockbuster is a good time to train celebrities, and Kang Jianfei doesn't want to let it go. The male actor signed by Feizhi Film and Television is not bad. However, Jiang Wen is already famous enough, so there is no need to fight for him anymore. Kang Jianfei set his sights on the two female leads in the film from the beginning.
"Who is going to let Shanghai Film Studio play Li Ningyu?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Feng Xiaogang did not answer directly, but asked back: "Have Mr. Kang watched the movie "Lushan Love"?"
"See it," Kang Jianfei immediately woke up and confirmed, "Shanghai Film Studio wants Zhang Yu to play Li Ningyu?"
Feng Xiaogang nodded and said, "The leaders of Shanghai Film Studio believe that the role of Li Ningyu is set as a returnee who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and Zhang Yu became famous for playing the role of returning overseas Chinese. This role is very suitable for her."
Kang Jianfei said with a funny look: "Speak human words!"
Feng Xiaogang smiled awkwardly and whispered: "Zhang Yu is a signature star trained by Shanghai Film Studio. She went to Taiwan to develop and shoot TV series two years ago. She didn't make any name in Taiwan, but instead she lost her reputation in the mainland. When she came back to shoot a movie in the first half of the year, she didn't respond well."
"So you want to show your face again with "The Sound of the Wind"?" Kang Jianfei threw a cigarette to Feng Xiaogang, directing the prop master to place the billboard, and then continued, "You just follow the film studio and say that the character Li Ningyu is set to be self-sustaining and calm, and Zhang Yu's characteristic is sweet and gentleness, so it is not suitable for her to act."
Feng Xiaogang tentatively said: "What does Mr. Kang mean?"
Kang Jianfei said without questioning: "I want the two female lead roles in "The Sound of the Wind". Others are arranged casually in the studio."
Feng Xiaogang didn't know how to answer the conversation. The easiest thing to be good at in "The Wind" is the two female stars. Kang Jianfei took all these two roles, and it was a bit ugly. Moreover, Zhang Yu, designated by Shanghai Film Studio, is not an ordinary actor. He is currently the only actress who won four consecutive championships in a year - the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flower Award, the Wenhui Award and the Government Award. Her appearance can add a lot of attention to "The Wind". Kang Jianfei's reason for opposition is too far-fetched.
"People from Shanghai Film Studio will agree." Kang Jianfei smiled indifferently, "If the actors cannot agree on the issue, at worst, this movie will not be filmed."
Feng Xiaogang was speechless after hearing this. Shanghai Film Studio wanted to shoot "The Sound of the Wind" to complete the political task. Kang Jianfei didn't care whether to shoot or not. In the end, Kang Jianfei had the final say.
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to bother with this topic anymore. He waved to Xi Zhongwen not far away: "Awen, come here!"
Xi Zhongwen is a costume and stylist of "Kung Fu". When he heard Kang Jianfei calling him, he immediately trotted over and asked, "Mr. Kang, what do you have to give?"
Kang Jianfei introduced: "Xiaogang, this is Mr. Xi Zhongwen, the best costume designer in Hong Kong. The costumes and styles of "The Sound of Wind" will be left to him. Awen, director Feng Xiaogang from the mainland, is about to make a spy movie."
"Hello, Mr. Xi!"
"Hello, hello, please take care of me."
Feng Xiaogang and Xi Zhongwen shook hands and greeted each other. Kang Jianfei asked them to chat for a while, but he ran to film.
Kang Jianfei wants Chen Hong to play the role of Zhou Xun in the original film. She should be able to easily and compete with the role of being indulgent, free and easy, beautiful, sometimes soft and sometimes mean.
As for the role of Li Ningyu, Kang Jianfei was still a little hesitant. The original film was played by Li Bingbing, but now Li Bingbing is obviously a little tender in her face, and the baby fat on her face reveals her age. This problem can only be solved by makeup and styling. If the effect is really not good after the audition, Kang Jianfei can only agree to replace him.
"Are you ready?" Kang Jianfei walked towards the direction of the No. 1 aircraft.
"Okay!" Du Kefeng compared jewelry. Originally, Kang Jianfei's official photographer was Zhong Zhiwen, but Zhong Zhiwen was working as a director and filming a movie recently, so the photography director of "Kung Fu" became Du Kefeng.
The scene to be filmed is the plot where Zhou Xingchi meets the heroine and then boards the tram with the fat man.
This scene is still being filmed in Shanghai. To be honest, the setting is very difficult and it is very expensive. After all, Shanghai. Shanghai has developed greatly and is very difficult to find the old-style streets. If you find it, you have to spend a lot of effort to decorate and arrange them.
At this time, Kang Jianfei will miss the beauty of the major film and television cities in the mainland. For example, when Zhou Xingchi, the original time and space, filmed "Kung Fu", although the Zhucang City was temporarily set up, the scenes on the city streets were just to go to Haichedun Film and Television City.
Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is still too small, and these are condensed versions of antique streets. They are made of a small family spirit. It is because of this that Kang Jianfei came to the sea to film.
Perhaps, it’s time to invest in and build a cinema in mainland China!
The land price in Hong Kong is too expensive, and Kang Jianfei can't afford to buy large areas of land to build houses, but the land on the mainland is cheap. Especially in those suburban towns, buying land is no different from picking up land for Kang Jianfei.
After finishing the later stages of "Kung Fu", Kang Jianfei will prepare to come to the mainland again to determine the construction of the film and television city. The location he initially considered was in Hengdian.
"Mr. Kang, I'm OK too," said Zhou Xingchi.
"I'm ready too!" Chen Derong nodded to Kang Jianfei. She was wearing a white shirt and stood behind a soda truck on the street. On the wall behind her, she hung a huge advertisement for Nianci'an Chuanbei loquat paste.
In fact, Kang Jianfei has been thinking about the candidate for the heroine for a long time and must be pure and beautiful. He has considered the actresses such as Wang Shuxian and Zhu Guan, but in the end he chose Chen Derong.
The heroine of "Kung Fu" has not many scenes, and there are no lines. The 20-year-old Chen Derong's facial features are as delicate as a painting. She poked it there and had a sense of presence based on her appearance, which is very suitable for playing this weak and beautiful vase role.
Speaking of which, it is really hard to choose the actors in "Kung Fu". Just buck-toothed Zhen auditioned for more than a dozen people. Finally, she chose an actress with a special appearance and asked her to wear fake front teeth to act. As for the little fat man played by Lam Zicong in the original film, Kang Jianfei repeatedly selected it. Finally, a newcomer who had just graduated from the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts was named Zhu Yangzhe.
Thanks to Kang Jianfei's strong support and cooperation with Dongshi Company and DreamWorks, the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts has developed far better than in different time and space. In recent years, it has provided a large number of performing talents and behind-the-scenes teams to the Hong Kong film industry. At least among the signed actors of Oriental Entertainment Agency, several first- and second-tier stars who Kang Jianfei had never heard of before.
"The 18th scene of Kung Fu, 3 shots, Aikesh!"
Chen Derong sorted out the soda cabinet, and Zhou Xingchi walked over and patted hard: "Robbery, where to put the money?"
Chen Derong raised her head and looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Xingchi grabbed Chen Derong's clothes and threatened: "Where to put the money? Say it!"
Chen Derong still looked at him without saying a word.
Zhou Xingchi yelled: "What are you looking at! Say it!"
"Click! Come again!" Kang Jianfei said dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Xingchi and Chen Derong turned to look at the director together, seemingly not understanding what was wrong.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Derong and said, "You have just finished acting in Qiong Yao's drama "Plum Blossoms". Haven't you jumped out of that drama yet? You are the heroine of "Kung Fu". You are a strong and understanding mute. You just met a benefactor whom you haven't seen for many years. There should be that kind of surprise and sadness in your eyes, rather than being pitiful! Are your tears broken? Why do you think of crying as soon as you enter the camera?"
"I...I'll try it." Chen Derong lowered her head embarrassedly. She really hadn't walked out of the plot of "Plum Blossoms". Because the character she played was miserable, she had to act in the role and film countless crying scenes. When she filmed the last ten episodes, Chen Derong often cried and called her mother to wake up from her dream. And she rushed over to film "Kung Fu" immediately after filming "Plum Blossomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsomsoms
"You can make a little more preparation, Xingzai, please help her." Kang Jianfei assigned the next task to Zhou Xingchi.
In another time and space, Zhou Xingchi and Chen Derong actually worked together very early, and the two are male and female protagonists respectively. However, because of the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, they have not yet had an intersection.
The vase is not that easy to make. It is a very simple scene. Chen Derong was stuck and never passed several times. She always put herself into the role in "Plum Blossom Ball", which is a fucking scene.
Chen Derong felt that she was about to collapse. Although Kang Jianfei did not scold her again, she was still becoming more and more anxious and panicked.
Chapter completed!
