Wen Bixia's parents enthusiastically persuaded Kang Jianfei and Principal Lin to stay for lunch, but seeing that her family was in real trouble, they were too embarrassed to stay, so they declined and left together.
Wen Bixia was wearing a floral skirt and stood at the door of her house watching Kang Jianfei go away. She looked back at the dilapidated wooden house behind her, and for the first time she felt strongly that she did not belong here. The only expectation in Wen Bixia's heart now is
Kang Jianfei hurried back to filming and took her away from this ghost place. As for becoming famous, she didn't dare to have too many extravagant hopes, as long as she could leave this poor place.
After Kang Jianfei and Principal Lin came down the mountain, they called Teacher Qin over, and then found a small restaurant that looked like the sanitary conditions were very poor. The main customers of the small restaurant were teachers and students staying in the school, but the business was not very good, so
Several diners are eating.
After ordering a few home-cooked dishes, Kang Jianfei chatted with Principal Lin and Teacher Qin for a while, and settled the matter of building an awning with seats for the school and leveling the sports ground.
Kang Jianfei only needed to pay a one-time payment of 15,000 yuan, and the school would be responsible for purchasing building materials and hiring workers—the labor in Diaojingling was too cheap, so he could finish the matter within half a month. In addition, the school would also help arrange the sports meeting.
On-site items such as banners, colorful flags, ribbons, etc., and the costume fees for the 120 student extras are also included.
In other words, after Kang Jianfei paid 18,000 yuan, he could leave it alone and leave all other matters to the school. After that, he would let the students do the job without spending a penny more.
In addition, because Tiu Keng Leng is too remote, and considering that the crew will be filming here for about a week, Principal Lin ensured that the crew's meals will be provided by the school canteen, and the ingredients are purchased from nearby residents, so the food expenses are very low. In addition, there will be
Free up some dormitories and arrange accommodation for the crew.
Filmmaking is like this. The crew has to consider everything they eat, drink, and sleep. It is not full of artistic romance as outsiders imagine. If it is a film made by a big director, naturally there is no need to worry about such trivial matters, and a set team will be directly formed to make arrangements for the film.
It's just a headache. But Kang Jianfei is now alone and has to do everything by himself, no matter how big or small.
In the afternoon, Kang Jianfei and Teacher Qin rode their bicycles over the mountains and ridges to Yuansheng Middle School to find Li Saifeng.
There are more than a dozen primary and secondary schools in the Tiu Keng Ling area, most of which are in poor operating conditions, and Yuan Seng Middle School is no exception. It is far more primitive than Tiu Keng Ling Middle School.
The two of them ran to the school and asked, only to find out that Li Saifeng had transferred to another school, and to a middle school on Hong Kong Island.
It turns out that Li Saifeng's family used to live in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and moved to Hong Kong with his father last year. Due to financial constraints, Li Saifeng was first allowed to board and study in Tiu Keng Ling. In the past six months, Li's father has stabilized his job and has a lot of money.
, I completed the transfer procedures a few days ago and picked up my daughter.
Kang Jianfei was quite speechless. After asking for a long time, he only got the address of Li Saifeng's relative in Diaojingling. Then he went over the mountains and ridges to find the relative, and after a lot of talking, he got the phone number and address of Li Saifeng's family.
It was already after five o'clock in the afternoon. Kang Jianfei did not go to Hong Kong Island to find Li Saifeng. Instead, he called back to Jingling Middle School to pick up his cousin from school. Otherwise, Wu Ruiqing, who did not have a bicycle, would have to walk seven or eight miles to catch a ride back.
It was already dark when he returned to the rental house on Broadcasting Road, and Hu Juncai was not there either. Kang Jianfei had no choice but to make some noodles by himself and make a phone call to Tang Zhenye.
Kang Jianfei held the phone between his face and ate instant noodles and said, "Hey, Aye, my movie will start shooting in half a month. How about you playing the second male lead?"
"In half a month," Tang Zhenye explained in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "I have recently accepted a movie, and it is the third male lead directed by Chang Cheh. I really can't leave."
Tang Zhenye's original trajectory was to make a name for himself while filming "Shanghai. Beach", and then he took on more roles. However, due to Kang Jianfei's relationship, "Shanghai. Beach" was filmed four months ahead of schedule. Although it had not yet started broadcasting, Zhang Che
I accidentally saw the stills of Tang Zhenye in "On the Beach" and actually approached him to make a movie.
Zhang Che was the most famous director in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Although he has declined a lot over the years, he still maintains a high output of several martial arts films every year.
The second male lead in Kang Jianfei's movie and the third male lead in Zhang Che's movie, Tang Zhenye chose the latter without hesitation.
Kang Jianfei was not very angry, and he didn't even bother to talk to him about coordinating the schedule. He directly blacklisted Tang Zhenye and hung up the phone with a smile.
"Jingle Bell……"
A few seconds later, the phone rang again.
Kang Jianfei picked up the call and heard that it was actually Tang Zhenye. He was probably a little embarrassed, so he began to remedy the situation: "A Fei, although I can't act in your movie, I can recommend someone to you."
"Who?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Tang Zhenye said: "Zhang Guorong."
"If I hire him, I don't have enough money!" If Kang Jianfei had enough budget, he would definitely hire Leslie Cheung to act. Although Leslie Cheung has not yet become a celebrity, he is already somewhat famous, and the remuneration will definitely not be low.
, Kang Jianfei didn’t want to waste his precious budget on the second male lead.
Tang Zhenye explained: "It doesn't cost much. If I give him a salary of 10,000 yuan, he will definitely agree. I played a small role in a movie called "Under the Roof" more than half a month ago, and that movie starred Leslie Cheung.
, the salary is only 10,000 yuan. It seems that Zhang Guorong's songs are not selling well, so he really wants to get ahead in the film and television industry. If someone asks him to make a movie, he will definitely agree."
Kang Jianfei had heard of this kind of thing. Someone approached Zhang Guorong to film "Dream of Red Mansions" and said he was asked to play Jia Baoyu. Zhang Guorong, who was eager to film, went there and ended up filming a pornographic film.
Porn film...
"But I am a novice director, will he take my film?" Kang Jianfei was quite doubtful.
It’s true that Zhang Guorong is eager to make movies, but he doesn’t accept all the roles of cats and dogs. If a big director asks him to film a movie, he might do it for zero salary. But Kang Jianfei, apart from being famous for writing novels, has no other abilities.
Several people knew it, but it was impossible for them to be attracted to Zhang Guorong.
Tang Zhenye said: "I'll ask you whether it works or not, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"Okay, let's talk tomorrow." Kang Jianfei hung up the phone and moved Tang Zhenye from the blacklist to the gray list. His trustworthiness needs to be further considered.
After more than ten calls were made, the location team was finally done, but there was still a shortage of photographers. The photographers Kang Jianfei was interested in thought they were hearing a joke when they heard that Kang Jianfei was planning to become a director and make a movie.
, refused without hesitation.
Kang Jianfei was so depressed that he was about to go out to Hong Kong overnight. He wanted to sign Li Saifeng first, but as soon as he opened the door, he met Zhao Yazhi, who was coming over with a midnight snack.
Zhao Yazhi entered the room and saw the noodle soup left on the coffee table at a glance, and scolded: "Ah Cai is still on the set, rushing to play, I know you must be eating instant noodles at home alone. Instant noodles are not nutritious, I You might as well cook a bowl of noodles."
Kang Jianfei didn't wait for Zhao Yazhi to put down the midnight snack, he hugged her waist from behind and said, "Sister Zhi, how about I move in with you? Ah Cai is so lazy that he doesn't even want to cook. You don’t have to worry about going hungry.”
"A Fei, don't be like this." Zhao Yazhi pushed his hand and struggled, but she had no strength and was still held tightly by Kang Jianfei.
Zhao Yazhi's birthday was a good opportunity last time, and Kang Jianfei also planned to eat her. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, Zhao Yazhi actually refused to submit.
Kang Jianfei never considered himself a gentleman, he was just a real villain. However, he still had some bottom lines in his behavior. For example, he would only steal when he was hungry, and he would not steal from the poor, women, the elderly, the sick, or children. .As for women, if he likes someone, he will use all possible methods to resist deception, but he will not use force when the woman does not want it.
Kang Jianfei felt that it was very unskilled and did not have much sense of achievement, just like he had always despised robbery and kidnapping as a thief.
There was roast goose leg as a midnight snack. Kang Jianfei stuffed it into his mouth and started to chew it, without caring about his image in front of the beautiful woman.
Zhao Yazhi watched him eat for a while and said: "I went home to see Xiaoguang this afternoon and chatted with Hanwei for a while. He apologized to me and said that he was impulsive that day and begged me to move back..."
Kang Jianfei interrupted: "You agreed?"
"I was still hesitating," Zhao Yazhi said and sighed. "It was only when I was chatting with him that I realized that I had given up on him. I had no love or hatred."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Then why are you hesitating? Since you don't love him anymore, then you won't go back. Why make yourself miserable."
Zhao Yazhi said painfully: "But my son is still there."
Kang Jianfei patted her shoulder and said, "Be good, don't think too much. In the worst case, we'll get divorced and take custody of your son. I'll take care of you, mother and son."
"Who wants you to support me?" When Zhao Yazhi said this, he was no longer worried, but said with a smile, "You can't even support yourself, and you still want me to bring you midnight snacks."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "When my movie is made and sold well, I will become the big boss of the film company. Are you afraid that I won't be able to support you?"
Zhao Yazhi had long been immune to his dirty talk and asked: "By the way, how is the progress of your movie?"
Kang Jianfei said: "We need a photographer with a handheld camera."
Zhao Yazhi thought for a while and said, "I can recommend someone to you."
"Who?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Zhao Yazhi said: "It's the photographer Zhong Zhiwen who shot "Crazy Heist" last time."
"Will he come?" Kang Jianfei asked, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Chung Chi-wen was a photographer who later became as famous as Duke Feng, Huang Yuet-tai, Bao Dexi and others. He was a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong Film Awards, and he was also a good director. He could both shoot and direct. If Chung Chi-wen could be roped in Oriental DreamWorks has added a general to the company.
Zhao Yazhi said: "I will help you convince him."
Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi happily and kissed her on the cheek after having just eaten the roasted goose leg. Zhao Yazhi became "livid" and chased Kang Jianfei and beat her up.
