"ha!"
Li Jiaxin turned over while yawning. Except Sophie Marceau was still sleeping on the bed, and the others had already been washing up. It was only 7 o'clock at this time. If she had to be busy filming, she would have wanted to stay for a while, after all, she was very tired last night.
Lin Qingxia is about to leave after breakfast. She has been very leisurely in the past few years. In addition to taking care of her children at home, she has also learned ceramics and paintings, occasionally writing a few essays, reading novels and movies to make time.
Living like this is Lin Qingxia’s dream of Girls’ Generation. It would be even more fulfilling if she could have a husband from Gu’s family.
My son Kang Jiale is already 7 years old. In a few months, Lin Qingxia is busy choosing schools recently. She has to run a good school and is a little remote, so as not to harass the paparazzi all day long.
Today's breakfast was made by Aishwarya, full of curry flavor. Lin Qingxia felt that the taste was good, but Li Jiaxin was quite disliked. She called her assistant to go to the Ritz-Carlton hotel to buy breakfast. The price was not expensive, only two or three hundred yuan, but the style was obviously different.
Because I had to go to the crew in a hurry, Kang Jianfei finished his breakfast quickly. Li Jiaxin had to follow him and called when he went out, "Axi, just send my breakfast to the crew, remember not to get cold."
Kang Jianfei said speechlessly: "You just stay hungry."
Li Jiaxin acted coquettishly and said, "Brother Fei, I can't get used to it."
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to pay attention to this charming bitch, so he asked the driver to drive, and Aishwarya leaned against him to make up for her sleep.
The car soon arrived at its destination, and there was even traffic jam outside the Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. In such a remote place, due to the prosperity of the film industry, it was extremely busy every morning.
Although the Hong Kong film market has been sluggish, the film and television city is getting better and better. Although DreamWorks is reducing production, and many small and medium-sized film companies are closing down, in fact, the annual output of Hong Kong films continues to increase.
In 1992, the annual production of Hong Kong films was 376, increased to 426 in 1993, and in 1994, it reached 589.
Why does this happen?
Because the average number of Hong Kong films is shortening, countless cinemas lack film sources. Some young directors can easily invest 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and then attract a few actors and behind the scenes to make a movie in half a month.
These junk movies were never going to be released in the theater before. But now, they don’t care about so many of them, they can be played in just one movie. Anyway, the screening hall is empty and they are empty. As for the investment, they can be recovered. If the box office is not good, they can be sold. Nowadays, Hong Kong audiences basically encounter bad movies as soon as they enter the theater, which greatly dampens their enthusiasm for watching movies.
However, for Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, increasing production volume is a good phenomenon. Every day, crews renting studios and costume streets are endless, and they also have to rent shooting equipment and costume props, which makes a lot of money.
The so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the overseas box office of Hong Kong films is also very impressive, but it has been declining year by year.
In 1992, the total box office of 4O in Taiwan was contributed by Hong Kong films, with the proportion of South Korea being 13. Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other places, and the market share of Hong Kong films was also around 8.
By last year, this data had dropped sharply, with 32 left in Taiwan and only 9 left in South Korea. However, because Jiahe and Oriental Film actively built theaters in Southeast Asia, the market share of Hong Kong films in these regions was increasing, Malaysia increased from 78 to 15, and Indonesia and Singapore also increased to more than 10.
This is enough to show the glory of Hong Kong films. It is probably unimaginable in 20 years. In the conservative and exclusive South Korea, one-tenth of its annual box office sales are sold in Chinese films.
The crew members have arrived in the underground parking lot of the Film and Television City. In particular, the makeup artist and zombie extras have already laid a foundation, so the director can only come to guide and correct the makeup.
Xu Ke has already sat there to draw a story version. This guy's hand-drawn storyboard is awesome, and he can feel like a blockbuster movie in just a few strokes. Zhao Wenqiu squatted beside Xu Ke and asked questions and suggestions from time to time. This young man still loves learning, and Xu Ke is very optimistic about him.
My cousin Wu Ruiqing divorced two years ago. In order to seize the custody of his son, he paid his ex-wife 20,000 yuan in one lump sum, and he would also have to pay 60,000 yuan of living expenses every month.
The once weak boy was over thirty years old and became mature and experienced. When Kang Jian flew to the crew, Wu Ruiqing was criticizing the venue manager: "What are you doing? It's almost turned on. You tell me that there is not enough dry ice? If you don't have enough, go and do it quickly!"
The venue manager said with a bitter face: "The logistics dispatch of the film and television city made a mistake and gave our dry ice to other crews. The spares in the warehouse were not enough because our usage was too large."
There is a plot in Resident Evil, where the ground is filled with white mist, which requires dry ice to create effects. And it takes more than ten hours to shoot, and the dry ice consumes a lot.
Wu Ruiqing said depressedly: "Then hurry up and go to the dry ice manufacturing factory to pick up the goods."
The field manager said: "The goods are already there, but it may take two hours to ship it. You know, it's rush hour now and the road is very congested."
"How long can the dry ice be used here?" Wu Ruiqing asked.
"It will run out in less than an hour," the field manager said.
Wu Ruiqing immediately ran over to explain the situation to Kang Jianfei. Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's okay, I can't wait long, so I'll be busy with yours."
The crew is a large team, and all kinds of accidents can occur anytime and anywhere.
The problem of dry ice has not been solved, and a zombie actor with a heavy scene has a stomachache and went to the hospital. Kang Jianfei could only catch a job at the scene and ask the other party to put on makeup as soon as possible. While putting on makeup, he asked the action guide to tell him the show.
Since you want to make Hong Kong films, you naturally cannot lose the fine tradition of Hong Kong films. The Resident Evil version of Kang Jianfei has been added to martial arts scenes in many places, especially the heroine Alice, who is more sharp and powerful than the original version, which is also the reason why Li Jiaxin is urgently trained.
Of course, the actions designed by martial arts guides tend to be realistic modern fighting. Kang Jianfei dared not let Xu Ke intervene in this area, for fear that the old monster Xu would make Resident Evil an urban martial arts film flying in the sky and the earth.
Xu Ke’s task is more about creating pictures and atmosphere. He is very imaginative about this. Back then, he took 2D Ghost Story and some scenes to create a 3D effect shot.
Everything was ready at about 9 am. Li Jiaxin, Tom Cruise, Aishwarya and others stood in front of the camera, and the field reporter called out:
"Resident Evil 8 scenes, 3 shots, 1 time, Akesh!"
A zombie with half of her face limped towards the leading actors. Everyone was so scared that they retreated one after another. Then someone fired a few shots, but the zombies rushed to the front. Li Jiaxin, who was hanging on the wire, flew up and kicked the zombie away.
