For the filming of "Once Upon a Time", the crew specially built a Bao Zhilin in the studio, and the person in charge of setting up the scene was a veteran who had switched jobs from Shaw Brothers.
After DreamWorks was banned by the Taiwanese authorities, although other film companies in Hong Kong did not dare to cooperate with DreamWorks overtly, they had many private exchanges.
For example, the Antique Street in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, like Qiu Degen's Song Dynasty, has become the first choice for Hong Kong directors to shoot costume dramas. The newly built Bao Zhilin is not a one-time thing that can be kept for the future.
Filming the sequel to "Once Upon a Time" and leasing scenes to other film companies for filming.
Li Lianjie was wearing a suit and was sitting at the head of the hall. Liang Kuan, played by Mok Shaocong, raised his tea bowl and said with a smile: "Please drink tea, Master!"
"Yeah." Li Lianjie nodded, took the tea bowl and drank it.
"Click! This is passed, next shot!" Kang Jianfei, who was sitting behind the viewfinder, shouted.
"This way, this way!" Chen Xunqi directed the attendant to move the antique camera over, and then said to Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a Western pleated skirt, "Miss Guan, come and stand over here."
On the other side of the camera, Huang Feihong, played by Li Lianjie, is sitting upright on the master's chair, with Liang Kuan and several of his disciples standing behind him.
After Kang Jianfei discussed the camera location with the director of photography, Wu Ruiqing laid down the clapperboard held by him.
"Once Upon a Time, Scene 37, Scene 4, Aikesh!"
Without any lines, Guan Zhilin, who was standing behind the antique camera, adjusted the focus, then ran towards Li Lianjie and others with a Western skirt in hand.
Huang Yuetai held the camera in his hand and moved the camera as steadily as Guan Zhilin ran.
"Click. Next one!"
"A Cong, when you look at Guan Zhilin later, your eyes and expressions should be a bit weird."
"Ake, when Mo Shaocong runs from behind you, please be careful not to act too artificial."
"..."
"Once Upon a Time, Scene 37, Scene 5, Aikesh!"
The young actor hired by the crew pressed the shutter of the antique camera, and the moment a flash of light flashed, Mo Shaocong forced his way to Guan Zhilin's direction, messing up everyone's original photo poses.
"Ka, I announce. "Once Upon a Time" is officially finished!"
As Kang Jianfei's voice fell, every member of the crew also cheered.
After the cheers, the actors began to take off their makeup and change clothes, and everyone in the field management team became busy again.
Kang Jianfei was sitting on the director's chair waiting for Guan Zhilin to change clothes and go home. A little fat man holding props deliberately walked around Kang Jianfei and suddenly said in Mandarin: "Hello, Mr. Kang!"
At this time, there was not much difference between the standard Mandarin accents in mainland China and Taiwan. Kang Jianfei raised his eyes and asked, "Are you from mainland China?"
"Yes, I am from Tianjin, and I came to Hong Kong in the same year as Mr. Kang." The little fat man said cheerfully.
Kang Jianfei didn't recognize who this person was, so he just nodded and encouraged, "Well, work hard, and sooner or later you'll be able to get ahead."
"Mr. Kang, I will work hard," the little fat man said with a smile, but stood still and continued, "Actually, I am very good at acting. When I was working on the set of "Once Upon a Time", I also
I have acted in Corpse twice and Passerby once."
Kang Jianfei finally understood what he meant and asked, "Do you want to be an actor and film a movie?"
"Yes, I hope Mr. Kang can give me a chance." The little fat man said with a smile. In fact, when he was filming "Once Upon a Time", he had already approached Kang Jianfei several times with excuses, but he never had the chance to speak.
Kang Jianfei is not a bodhisattva who responds to requests. He said encouragingly: "It is difficult for mainlanders to get along in Hong Kong. You should do your job well first. There will be many opportunities to be an actor in the future."
The little fat man wanted to say more, but was suddenly discovered by the head of the field management team, who yelled: "Lin Xue, you are lazy and slippery again, and you are just moving things!"
"Here we come!" the little fat man responded, holding the props and running away.
When Kang Jianfei heard the man calling Lin Xue's name, he suddenly remembered who this little fat guy was, and couldn't help shaking his head in laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Guan Zhilin, who had changed into a pleated Western skirt, suddenly appeared behind Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei stood up, took her hand and said, "It's nothing, I met a compatriot from mainland China."
Li Lianjie also changed his clothes and came over and said, "Mr. Kang is talking about that Lin Xue."
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "He also came to you?"
"Yes, he brought me water a few times," Li Lianjie said. "This kid came to Hong Kong when he was 15 years old. He worked as an apprentice in a furniture store, and then worked as a porter for a period of time. He just entered the Dreamland last year.
Factory handyman."
"He is quite clever." Kang Jianfei commented. Being able to take advantage of his status as a fellow mainlander to proactively contact Li Lianjie and Kang Jianfei on the set, I have to say that Lin Xue is still very smart. Although there is no substantial gain, but
At least now Kang Jianfei and Li Lianjie have remembered this person, and they might ask him to come and film a movie whenever they have the chance.
Guan Zhilin and Li Lianjie were quite familiar with each other, but she didn't want him to disturb their world, so she deliberately asked: "Ajie, I want to go to dinner with Brother Fei, do you want to go with me?"
Li Lianjie was a very good observer, so he immediately smiled and said, "No, I also have an appointment tonight."
Kang Jianfei called Chen Xunqi over again and ordered: "Xunqi, I will leave the finishing work of the crew to you, and leave the editing to Mai Zishan."
Chen Xunqi nodded and said: "I will take care of it."
Kang Jianfei asked smoothly: "You haven't thought about your film studio business yet?"
Chen Xunqi smiled bitterly and said: "I can't find a suitable script. I want to make a classic film for my entrepreneurial film."
From a certain perspective, Chen Xunqi is also a perfectionist.
Kang Jianfei scratched his head and said, "How about I give you a story?"
"Okay." Chen Xunqi said with a smile. He wanted to hear what good story Kang Jianfei could come up with this time.
Kang Jianfei, who was about to leave, dragged the director's chair over and sat down again. When Li Lianjie and others heard that Kang Jianfei was going to tell a story live, they all gathered to listen.
"This story is called "Scarred City". It happened on Christmas Eve in Hong Kong in 1980.
Homicide detective Qiu Jianbang arrested a serial rapist and returned home on Christmas morning. He found Rachel, his girlfriend, who had committed suicide in bed.
After the autopsy, Qiu Jianbang learned that she had just had an abortion.
After that, Qiu Jianbang changed his career and worked as a private detective for three years, and at the same time he became an alcoholic.
In 1983, Qiu Jianbang's best friend, best opponent at the table tennis table, and most trusted boss, Chief Inspector Liu Zhengxi of the Homicide Squad, murdered his wife Zhou Shuzhen's father, the invisible rich man Zhou Yuansheng.
Having been the leader of the homicide team for many years, he certainly planned this murder perfectly. Every piece of evidence left behind by Liu Zhengxi pointed the finger at two unemployed people, Chen Weiqiang and Huang Ming. One week after the incident, Chen Weiqiang and Huang Ming laid their bodies in Saigon.
Village house…
An emotional mistake caused the case to take a turn for the worse. When Qiu Jianbang discovered the identity of the murderer, he realized that there was another truth hidden in the truth. Liu Zhengxi and Chen Weiqiang were inextricably linked.
When Qiu Jianbang told Liu Zhengxi the truth, Liu Zhengxi started another murderous plot - he killed himself.
The story is always under a hazy sky. Perhaps this is also the pain in Liu Zhengxi's inner world. He once lost everything, including his identity, but when he took revenge, he found that he had lost his love. What he had lost was no longer
He came back again, but now he has made himself lose his last happiness - a wife who loves him. He has no choice but to leave, go to another world with his wife, and start over.
In fact, the real sad city is not in reality. But in our hearts, only when the heart bids farewell to the sad city will we leave this sad city forever!"
Kang Jianfei told the story very slowly, taking more than ten minutes to finish.
Some people may find it uninteresting. After all, a suspenseful and thriller story told by Kang Jianfei in a line drawing style has lost its greatest appeal.
Chen Xunqi thought about it for a moment, then got to the point and said, "Use the technique of a literary film to make a murder suspense drama?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said with a smile: "It's better to have a little boyish flavor."
Chen Xunqi touched the beard on his mouth and said, "After you said that, it seems to be a bit confusing."
"You can figure it out for yourself. I'll ask someone to give you the complete story later." After Kang Jianfei said this, he and Guan Zhilin walked out of the studio.
To be honest, from a certain perspective, the plot of "Hurt City" is very weak, but it is very suitable for a versatile director like Chen Xunqi. Chen Xunqi can definitely make a murder suspense film into a literary and artistic film with a petty bourgeoisie flavor.
It can produce different effects from the original ones.
As for how much box office it can get, Kang Jianfei is not very sure, but it is worth a try anyway.
After getting in the car, Kang Jianfei hugged Guan Zhilin and sat in the back seat to rest. Zeng Bolin in front reported on today's work: "The first issue of "Metamorphosis" filmed by Phoenix TV, CCTV, and Guangdong TV Station has been basically completed. The TV station
Ask the program planning column over there, do you want to add your name, boss?"
"No, I don't need to compete with them for fame." Kang Jianfei said while closing his eyes to rest.
Zeng Bolin added: "The beginning of June is the Mainland Film Golden Rooster Awards. Since this year is the 80th anniversary of the birth of Chinese films, the awards ceremony is quite grand. They sent an invitation letter saying that they want you to attend."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Will Shao Yifu go?"
Zeng Bolin said: "Shao Yifu should also be invited to the Golden Rooster Award, but I don't know if he will attend."
"It's just a day's work, please help me make arrangements." Kang Jianfei said.
Zeng Bolin looked at his notebook and said: "The Shueisha in Japan refused to let go and insisted on changing the "Crayon Shin-chan" published in Japan to Japanese surnames and place names. Because "Crayon Shin-chan" was planned by you, the boss, Dark Horse Comics
I’m not sure, and I’d like to ask if I should make concessions in this regard?”
"What should I change? If you don't want to buy it, get out. I didn't invite them here." Kang Jianfei said disdainfully.
Zeng Bolin added: "By the way, someone from a Japanese animation company said they wanted to make "Crayon Shin-chan" into an animation, and they also promised to help contact Shogakukan to publish the comic in Japan."
"That animation company doesn't need to worry about it. People from Shogakukan will come and discuss distribution slowly." Kang Jianfei said.
Zeng Bolin finally said: "Gambling king Stanley Ho is coming to Hong Kong next week and asked you to go to a family dinner."
"What? He Hongsen!" Kang Jianfei was so shocked that he opened his eyes suddenly, thinking that he had raped someone else's daughter. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
