Wu Chenggang was riding his bicycle and was about to go to work when he saw Kang Jianfei walking slowly over. He stopped the bicycle and asked, "A Fei, what's the matter so early?"
Kang Jianfei patted the manuscript in his hand and said, "I'm looking for my cousin."
Wu Chenggang was a little annoyed when he mentioned this. He only found out a few days ago that his son Wu Ruiqing helped to revise the manuscript of "Looking for Qin". This novel has a lot of erotic scenes, and Wu Ruiqing is only fifteen years old...
Wu Chenggang looked ugly and said: "Ah Fei, find someone else to revise your novel, not Ah Qing."
"Okay." Kang Jianfei changed the topic and asked, "By the way, cousin, my movie has already started to be filmed. How are you thinking about it?"
Wu Chenggang sighed and said: "I know I can't persuade you, but I still hope you will think more about it. It is easy to lose all your money when making a movie."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It's because it's easy to lose money, so I asked you, my cousin, to form the lighting team. I don't trust anyone else. What if I find someone who I don't trust and doesn't have good skills to do it, and it screws up? Cousin,
You have good lighting skills, come here and help me for a month, can you bear to watch my investment of hundreds of thousands go down the drain?"
Now that the talk has come to this, can Wu Chenggang still agree? If he doesn't agree, when Kang Jianfei's movie hits the market in the future, won't he have to be blamed!
"Okay, okay, call me when the time comes!" Wu Chenggang didn't want to talk nonsense with Kang Jianfei anymore. Anyway, he didn't think Kang Jianfei's movie could make money.
Kang Jianfei chuckled and said: "Cousin, you are the only one in the lighting team now. You have to recruit any people you need."
Wu Chenggang said dumbfounded: "I really admire you. I dare to make a movie even if I don't have anything. I'm usually very smart, so how could I get confused in this kind of thing? Okay, I'll take care of the lighting team, and wait until the movie is finished."
Just don't blame me if you lose money. I'm going to work, so you can take care of yourself."
"Cousin, walk slowly!" Kang Jianfei waved from behind.
Before Wu Chenggang had gone far, Zhou Mingfang had already held the hand of his daughter Wu Ruixue and went downstairs, followed by Wu Ruiqing.
Kang Jianfei greeted his aunt, walked up to his cousin and said, "Ah Qing, I have something to do with you."
Wu Ruiqing whispered: "Cousin, tell my dad next time that your current novel manuscript was revised by someone else. Let's keep it secret so he doesn't find out."
"I know," Kang Jianfei put his arm on his shoulder and walked with him to the station, saying as they walked, "I'm looking for you today because of other things. Your school has a high school department, right?"
Wu Ruiqing nodded and said, "Yes, why do you ask?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go to school with you."
Wu Ruiqing didn't know what his cousin was up to, so he asked curiously: "What are you going to learn from us?"
Kang Jianfei said: "My cousin is going to make a movie and is going to select some students to be actors."
"Making a movie?" Wu Ruiqing's eyes lit up and asked, "Cousin, I also want to be an actor, do you think I can do it?"
Kang Jianfei said perfunctorily: "Well, I will give you a small role when the time comes."
"Oh drink!" Wu Ruiqing jumped up happily.

My cousin's family used to live in Tiu Keng Leng, and Wu Ruiqing naturally went to school there. Now they have moved to Shek Kip Mei. Wu Ruixue has changed schools, but Wu Ruiqing has not changed schools because he is about to graduate.
On the bus to school, Kang Jianfei asked casually: "Ah Qing, why did you live in Tiu Keng Ling before? It seems to be very remote there, and it's not convenient for my cousin to go to work."
Wu Ruiqing didn't have any scheming, and directly told the past situation of his family: "I remember when I was a child, I first lived in Kowloon Walled City. Later, my father offended someone by saving my little mother (Zhou Mingfang), so he moved to Tiao Tiao.
King Leng. There are many veterans in Tiu Keng Leng, and the bad guys in Kowloon Walled City don't dare to mess around. Plus there is a school nearby, so we stayed there and didn't go to Shek Kip Mei until last year."
"Why are there so many veterans in Tiu Keng Ling?" Kang Jianfei asked curiously. But he didn't know that Tiu Keng Ling, a place as big as a palm, not only has many veterans, but also many celebrities, such as Chen Yulian, Wen Bixia, Huang
Yuan Shen and others all came from Tiu Keng Ling, and the future big boss in Taiwan, Xiao Ma Ge, was also born in Tiu Keng Ling.
The origin of the name Tiu Keng Ling is very special. After the national government moved to Taiwan in 1949, some retired veterans and their families who were unwilling or unable to move to Taiwan were resettled in the Mosing Ling Citizen Village. However, in the second year, a group of leftists
The students went to the Mount Davis Refugee Area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into a bloody conflict.
Later, the Hong Kong government moved these veterans and their families to Tiu Keng Leng and renamed it "Tiao Keng Ling", which was homophonic to the original "Diao Neck Leng", which means "adjusting the situation".
Over the past few decades, the number of residents in Tiu Keng Leng has gradually increased, but most of them are still the family members and descendants of KMT veterans. Because of this, the political atmosphere here is very strong. Every year on October 10, the residents will have a holiday to visit Ling.
Teachers and students from all schools in the city gathered at Tiu Keng Leng Secondary School. Residents and students celebrated the "National Day" together and hung the blue sky and white sun flag at the school.
Wu Ruiqing probably remembered the embarrassing things in the past and said with a grin: "When we lived in Tiu Keng Leng, every year on October 10th, my father did not allow us to go out, and my sister and I had to copy it a hundred times each."
Long live gcd'. At that time, I used three pens tied together to write..."
Just as he was talking, Wu Ruiqing suddenly stood up and said: "We're here, get off the car."
After Kang Jianfei got off the bus after him, he looked at the stop sign and said, "This is Kwun Tong, why did you get off the bus?"
Wu Ruiqing explained: "There are no cars on the road ahead, so I take the bus to Kwun Tong every day, and then ride a bicycle to Tiu Keng Leng for classes."
Kang Jianfei sweated furiously, Diao Jingling was too remote at this time, but just think about the residents there being called refugees.
Wu Ruiqing pointed to a house on the side of the road and said, "That's Uncle Jing's house. Uncle Jing is a good friend of my father. My bicycle is kept at his house."
"There's no need to take the bicycle. Let's go by car today." Kang Jianfei grabbed him and asked, "Why don't you change schools?"
Wu Ruiqing said with a smile: "I'm graduating soon. It's too troublesome to transfer. In fact, it's not far. It's only seven or eight miles from here by bike."
Kang Jianfei thought: My cousin's family is too frugal, and they don't even want to transfer their son to another school.
Kang Jianfei hailed a taxi, but when the driver heard that he was going to Diaojingling, he shook his head and said the road conditions were too bad and refused to go. In the end, Kang Jianfei just threw him fifty yuan before agreeing.
The taxi bumped along the dirt road covered with weeds for a while. When they arrived at Tiu Keng Ling, Kang Jianfei finally understood what a slum is.
After Kang Jianfei got off the car, he looked up and could vaguely see lonely tombs and crooked tombstones in the wilderness. The condition of the houses was even worse, ranging from oil-paper shacks in refugee camps to squatters and board-walled buildings built on the hills.
When you arrive at a private housing estate with clear property rights, the entire block here is a dirty and crowded shanty town. There is almost no decent street, only crooked stone steps and winding paths.
Kang Jianfei was very surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a place in Hong Kong in the late 1970s.
Wu Ruiqing smiled helplessly and said: "Everyone with some money has moved out. My dad also saved some money to buy a house, but after Jiashi went bankrupt last year, my dad suddenly lost his job. A friend from the TV station invited him to join us.
Do business. Then, there will be no more..."
If it were Hu Juncai, he would ask if he lost money in business, but Kang Jianfei would ask: "That friend ran away with your father's money?"
Wu Ruiqing nodded angrily and said, "My dad worked hard for twenty years to save more than 100,000, but that bastard defrauded him of more than half of it."
Kang Jianfei patted him on the shoulder and walked towards Tiu Keng Ling Middle School.
Tiu Keng Ling Middle School is very small, with only a few teaching buildings in total, but the sports ground is very large. After all, students and residents from all nearby schools come here to celebrate the Double Ten Festival every year, so there must be a large enough celebration venue.
.
Kang Jianfei was immediately overjoyed when he saw this situation. This was simply a shooting location given to him by God!
In the movie "Happy Ghost", the scene of the school sports day is very important. Considering the current situation of Jingling Middle School, I only need to spend a few thousand yuan to help them build a few awnings around the sports ground, and then spend some money to repair them.
Once you go to the sports field, you can definitely convince the school to organize students to be free actors for him in filming.
In this way, Kang Jianfei can save at least tens of thousands of dollars in his budget.
As for the indoor scenes, we had no choice but to choose other places to shoot, because the conditions of the school building were too crude and were very different from the aristocratic schools in the movie.
Kang Jianfei carefully looked at the environment around the playground, thinking about how to set up a scene for shooting, and from which angle to avoid those dilapidated teaching buildings...
After roughly having an idea, Kang Jianfei asked: "Ah Qing, where is your principal's office?"
Wu Ruiqing walked towards a teaching building and said, "I'll take you there."
Kang Jianfei followed Wu Ruiqing to the principal's door. After sending Wu Ruiqing back to class, he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door. Suddenly the door opened on its own, and a girl ran out of it and bumped into Kang Jianfei.
