The crew of "Happy Ghost" caused a sensation as soon as they arrived at Tiu Keng Leng Secondary School. How could there be a chance to see and film a movie in this remote rural area!
In particular, the two heroines Wen Bixia and Li Shan have become the envy of all students in the school, even those students who play supporting roles.
Wen Bixia had never been so prosperous. Everywhere she went, her classmates took the initiative to greet her. Wearing new clothes, she also held her head high and had an indescribable confidence in her heart.
It was in this atmosphere that "Happy Ghost" began filming at Tiu Keng Ling Secondary School. More than 100 students from the school were selected as extras and wore brand-new sportswear. More than 20 girls who played cheerleaders also
Got a beautiful dress.
In addition, many students took the initiative to come over to help, just to observe how the movie was shot up close, so that the filming speed of the movie was much faster than Kang Jianfei expected.
Originally planned to shoot the sports meeting scene for five days, it was actually completed in two days. When the crew left, the students at the school were still eager to let Kang Jianfei shoot for two more days. After all, they usually had too little entertainment, let alone watching movies.
Many students can't even watch TV.
After the crew of "Happy Ghost" left, the arranged sports venue was not removed. Principal Lin organized a winter sports meeting on the spot and invited students from several nearby schools. The prizes for each competition were provided by "Happy Ghost"
》The crew sponsors sportswear, rackets, basketballs, stationery and other gadgets.
The next step was to go to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to shoot the dormitory and prom scenes. At this time, something finally happened to the crew.
…………
…………
The crew settled down at the Polytechnic University and borrowed several girls' dormitories. Kang Jianfei directed the field workers to rearrange the dormitory, making it more girly and sweet and warm than before. Since there were no artists, Kang Jianfei could only follow his own feelings.
Come, and by the way, I invited a few female students to decorate it with me.
After the scenery of the dormitory was completed, Shen Tianxia finally drove up. As soon as they met, she smiled at Kang Jianfei and explained: "Director, I'm not late, am I? I was stuck in the road just now."
"It's not too late. I have just finished setting up the scenery here. Sister Fei, you came just in time." Kang Jianfei enthusiastically began to tell Shen Dianxia about the next scene. In fact, even if Shen Dianxia came really late, Kang Jianfei couldn't be angry. After all, he was a
The new director, Shen Tianxia, agreed to star in the film to give him face.
Kang Jianfei was introducing Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia and other young actors to the temple. Suddenly Qi Bo anxiously came over and whispered in Kang Jianfei's ear: "Director, the fat man who originally agreed to play the role of Uncle Fat just called to say no.
Acted."
Since Hu Juncai had to play the male lead, his original work was dispersed, and most of it was given to Qi Bo, an old Jianghu. It must be said that Jiang is still more mature. After Qi Bo took charge of the logistics and coordination of the crew,
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which relieved Kang Jianfei a lot of worry.
Kang Jianfei has decided that after filming "Happy Ghost", he must keep Qibo in the company. If there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, having a calm old man in the company will make the overall atmosphere of the company much more stable.
Kang Jianfei immediately frowned when he heard that the actor who played Uncle Fatty was not coming. Uncle Fatty is the husband of Shen Tianxia. Although he is a supporting actor with a small role, many of the laughs in the film are in this person.
a very important role.
"What's going on with the fat man?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Qi Bo said, "I said I received another role and couldn't arrange the time, so I won't do it."
Kang Jianfei was quite depressed. This was the tragedy of an unknown director. He had obviously arranged the actors in advance, but once he received a play from another famous director, he would immediately kick him away because those actors did not believe in his role at all.
The drama will be popular. This was the case for Tang Zhenye before, and it is also the case for the unknown fat man now.
After "Happy Ghost" is released and sells well, I'm afraid Tang Zhenye and the fat man will regret it until they die.
However, the filming was about to begin, and it happened to be the fat man's scene. Where could Kang Jianfei find such a hilarious fat man to save the scene?
Kang Jianfei thought about it for a while, and the best candidate he thought of was Wang Jing, so he might as well ask him to be a guest star. Wang Jing, a fat man, is very good at being a good person, so he would definitely come to his rescue.
Thinking of this, Kang Jianfei immediately ran to the phone in the dormitory and quickly dialed Wang Tianlin's home number.
"Dududu..."
After calling for several minutes, no one answered. It seemed that even Wang Jing's wife was not at home.
When Kang Jianfei was extremely anxious, he saw Zhong Zhiwen not far away and quickly called him over and said: "The fat man who plays Fat Uncle is not here. Have you read the complete storyboard? Do you have a good candidate?"
Rescue?"
"I don't know a fat person who can act," Zhong Zhiwen scratched his head, suddenly became energetic after thinking about it, and said, "I don't know a fat person, but I do know a thin person who can act."
"Skinny guy?" Kang Jianfei thought about the possibility of changing his character image.
Zhong Zhiwen said: "Director, you see Shen Tianxia is already fat and comical enough, so why give her a fat husband? We can choose a skinny guy with a vulgar appearance, one fat and one thin, one funny and one vulgar.
If the contrast is stronger, wouldn’t it be more joyful?”
"That's a good idea!" Kang Jianfei nodded, thinking that Zhong Zhiwen is indeed a talented person who can shoot and direct in the future. He has a deep understanding of movies.
Zhong Zhiwen hesitated and said, "But this thin guy is very busy. I need to call him first to see if he is free."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Does this person have a good background?"
Zhong Zhiwen smiled and said: "He has some background. He is also a director. He worked at Jiashi before. I guess your cousin also knows him."
"Who are you talking about?" Kang Jianfei became increasingly curious.
Zhong Zhiwen picked up the phone, dialed the number and said, "Xu Ke."
Kang Jianfei didn't expect that Zhong Zhiwen was talking about Xu Ke. He was stunned for a moment and nodded: "This thin guy does look very wretched."
Xu Ke directed a TV series last year, and another movie "Butterfly" this year. Although the box office of "Butterfly" was terrible, the film industry praised the film very highly. Xu Ke can be regarded as a rising star.
of emerging directors.
After the call was connected, Zhong Zhiwen said a few greetings and then asked directly: "Old Xu, are you free today... I'm not inviting you to dinner, I'm inviting you to make a movie... Yes, I'm filming with a director.
We are in need of help... Yes, your image is very suitable... Not much, not much role... Come here quickly, we are at the Polytechnic University..."
When Zhong Zhiwen hung up the phone, Kang Jianfei asked in disbelief: "Is this done?"
"Yes." Zhong Zhiwen said with a smile, "Lao Xu is a very talkative person. If you ask him to come to the rescue, he will usually not refuse."
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: Why did the rumor I heard say that Xu Ke had a weird temper? He was known as Mr. Xu!
Within half an hour, Xu Ke appeared wearing a dirty coat, and Zhong Zhiwen waved him over from afar.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, it's such an honor to invite you this time." Kang Jianfei greeted warmly. He knew that Xu May came just for Zhong Zhiwen's sake and had nothing to do with him at all. And Xu Ke
He was very popular in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1980s. If I could get him into my company...
Of course not now. To bring Xu Ke into the company requires sufficient funds and a stable theater chain. Only with these two things can Xu Ke be attracted to come and make movies.
As for now, the poor Kang Jianfei can only establish a good relationship with Xu Ke first, and then it will be easier to talk to him when he recruits people.
Zhong Zhiwen hurriedly introduced: "This is the director, Mr. Kang Jianfei Kang."
"Kang Jianfei? This name sounds so familiar." Xu Ke scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had heard Kang Jianfei's name.
Zhong Zhiwen smiled and said: ""Looking for Qin" is the work of director Kang."
"Oh, I said where have you heard of it?" Xu Ke suddenly realized, then shook hands with Kang Jianfei, smiled with irregular teeth, "Hello, Mr. Kang, I have seen you for a long time!"
"I have also admired Director Xu's name for a long time," Kang Jianfei said in a pretentious manner, "Zhiwen and you are both friends, just call me A Fei."
Xu Ke was really easy to talk to, and he became familiar with Kang Jianfei within a few words. However, Kang Jianfei could feel that Xu Ke's smile was mostly perfunctory and could only be regarded as socializing.
Zhong Zhiwen calmly pulled Xu Ke aside, then took out the scene script and handed it to Xu Ke and said, "Kang Jianfei drew this himself."
Xu Ke opened the storyboard in confusion. After flipping through a few pages, he was shocked and complained: "Awen, you are the same. Why didn't you introduce such a friend to me earlier?"
Zhong Zhiwen smiled bitterly and said: "You were busy with "Butterfly" some time ago, how could you have time to see me?"
After reading the storyboard, Xu Ke's attitude toward Kang Jianfei changed drastically. His previous perfunctory dealings turned into sincere exchanges, and he pulled Kang Jianfei to talk non-stop about his movie concepts.
Kang Jianfei couldn't help coughing and said: "Old Xu, let's film first."
Xu Ke smiled awkwardly: "Oh, okay, show me the script."
While Xu Ke was reading the script, Kang Jianfei was thinking about how to style Xu Ke. Finally, he asked the hairstylist to cut his hair into sections, then glued two curls of beard on him, and put a band on his chin.
Mao’s traitorous mole.
An extremely vulgar Xu Ke emerged at the historic moment.
