The entire crew of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were getting ready to board the plane. After spending several days in the Sonoran Desert, their skin was all tanned.
Zhong Chuhong looked in the small mirror from time to time, obviously afraid that her skin color would not recover, and complained to herself: "Sunscreen is of no use."
"Don't worry, it will turn white again in a few days." Kang Jianfei pinched Meiren Zhong's cheek affectionately.
"It's not good to be seen!" Zhong Chuhong slapped Kang Jianfei's hand away. She was a very generous woman, but she just couldn't let go of things like this.
After filming the scene in the American desert, the crew was about to be split into two. Ang Lee and Chung Chuhong went to Singapore to shoot, while Kang Jianfei went to Paris for filming. Finally, he came back to Hong Kong to add some scenes, and the entire movie was completed.
Three days later, Champs Elysées in Paris.
This famous international fashion avenue is very different from what Kang Jianfei had in mind. The scenery is quite beautiful, but many ancient buildings have been severely damaged. Moreover, it is not only a traffic jam, but tourists can only watch the sound of horns.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The most speechless thing is that the picturesque walking paths on both sides of the Later Generations Avenue are now completely chaotic roadside "parking lots" with various vehicles parked randomly everywhere. Pedestrians have to stop from time to time if they want to enjoy the scenery.
Walk around the ground.
Some people in France have been calling for the protection of the Champs Elysées, but that has been the case for decades. A committee was finally established a few years ago, but this committee has just begun to follow up and study the damage to the Champs Elysées. The real
Restoration and conservation will have to wait for several years.
After the rush hour for work was over, the crew chose a place on the Champs Elysées with less traffic and officially started filming.
Kang Jianfei was dressed casually, wearing sunglasses and holding a dog while strolling under the elm trees on the avenue.
The blower blew up a "breeze" and blew up the leaves of the elm trees that the crew had scattered on the ground. One person and one dog were walking in the breeze. The bright sunshine shone from the gaps in the tree crowns, shining on Kang Jianfei to form a poetic light.
faint.
It was just such a pretentious and cool walk. Kang Jianfei walked back and forth for more than half an hour, and it took many repeated shots before he was satisfied.
The next scene was shot in the Champs Elysées circular square. Kang Jianfei took the dog for a walk to the outside of the square. His hand held the dog leash and put it in his trouser pocket, while the dog peed on a big tree, just like an ordinary
Passers-by are no different.
Suddenly a car drove to the circular square and stopped, and a handsome Chinese-European mixed-race guy got out of the car. The handsome mixed-race guy carried a box to a female painter in the square and said, "Draw a portrait for me."
"Okay." The French female painter asked, "Have you brought the goods?"
"It's all here." The handsome mixed-race guy pushed the box over.
The female painter also pushed the painting box at her feet. The handsome mixed-race man opened the box and saw green dollars. He immediately closed the box and stood up to leave.
As soon as the handsome mixed-race guy turned around, he saw Kang Jianfei walking over with a smile on his back, holding a dog.
The handsome mixed-race guy subconsciously nodded and smiled at Kang Jianfei. The moment the two passed each other, Kang Jianfei took out a silenced pistol and pressed it against the other's heart.
The painting box slipped from the hand of the handsome mixed-race man, and Kang Jianfei caught it and continued moving forward. By the time other tourists noticed that the handsome mixed-race man had thrown himself to the ground, Kang Jianfei had already walked out of the square, got into the car and fled.
"Click!" Wu Ruiqing, who temporarily served as Kang Jianfei's executive director, shouted, indicating that the crew's filming mission in France was successfully completed.
"Cousin, am I good at directing?" Wu Ruiqing asked Kang Jianfei excitedly. In fact, it was the director of photography Zhong Zhiwen who actually took the shot, and Wu Ruiqing was just trying to experience being a director.
"Not bad, keep up the good work." Kang Jianfei patted his cousin on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Several scenes shot in France and Singapore were not included in the original film. Kang Jianfei added them in to make the film more reasonable.
Because in the final script, the male and female protagonists belong to two international assassin companies. This makes it impossible to stay in Hong Kong every day. After all, Hong Kong is too small and there are not so many targets to kill. And the total of these assassination scenes is less than 4
minutes, it will not destroy the overall structure of the film, but interspersing the plots will make the story fuller.
In addition, the action scenes of the film have also been completely redesigned. After all, this film is mainly aimed at the Asian market, and Asian audiences prefer fights with kung fu elements. The punch-and-kick fight scenes of American action movies are not
Likeable.
Of course, the kung fu drama won't be too outrageously powerful. The kung fu of the hero and heroine is more inclined to modern fighting, and they can't fly over walls and jump three feet high.
"Hey, Kang, is the shooting over?" The "female painter" in the square just came over and asked.
"It's over. I will fly back to Hong Kong tomorrow," Kang Jianfei asked, "Are you free to have dinner together?"
"Of course, we are old friends." The female painter smiled.
The guest female painter is none other than Sophie Marceau, who will be 20 years old in just over half a year. She is much more mature than her rebellious character a few years ago.
It can be said that Kang Jianfei invited Sophie Marceau to film three years ago, which changed her entire life trajectory. In another time and space, Sophie Marceau met an old man during her rebellious period, and then raised 1 million francs to redeem herself.
She went to shoot some so-called literary films with a lot of passionate scenes, completely ruining her image as a pretty girl.
If it hadn't been for the film "Fang Fang" that made her famous again, Sophie Marceau might have been a second-rate actress in passionate scenes her whole life, and the old Polish man who was more than 20 years older than her was the culprit.
When Sophie Marceau was 20 years old, the Polish director was already nearly 50, and he was not very kind to Sophie Marceau. The older he got, the more he lost his temper. Sophie Marceau almost became a daughter again.
When she became a wife and a mother, she took care of this old man for 17 years before breaking up. A woman's best time was all delayed.
Three years ago, when an old Polish man invited Sophie Marceau to make a "literary film", Sophie Marceau was on the set of "Fatal Express" in Italy, and next was the historical drama "Sarcana Fortress".
Since Sophie Marceau was filming Kang Jianfei's movie in Italy at the time, the invitation letter from the Polish director could only be sent to Sophie Marceau's company. Naturally, the company that planned to train Sophie Marceau into a beautiful girl would not agree to Poland's invitation.
The invitation from the old gangster was rejected directly because there was no schedule.
Sophie Marceau didn't know about this at all. The Polish director also found another actress to play the heroine, and the two never met again.
Sophie Marceau hates the rules and regulations set by her company. She is not allowed to have a boyfriend, she is not allowed to do nude/exposed scenes, she is not allowed to wear revealing clothes on important occasions, etc. They are simply keeping her in a cage.
.
But without the help of the old Polish man, Sophie Marceau could not afford the 1 million franc liquidated damages. She never asked Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia for a loan. Anyway, she had been working hard to make money in the past few years to prepare to leave the company.
, and she plays the same stereotypical good girl roles.
In a restaurant in Paris.
Sophie Marceau stuffed snail meat into her mouth and said, "Kang, your English has improved a lot."
"It's okay to hear it, but it's still a little awkward to say it." Kang Jianfei asked Sophie Marceau to guest star in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" mainly because of Sophie Marceau's box office appeal in France. Since there is no chaos like an old Polish man,
Well, Sophie Marceau has become a goddess in the minds of thousands of men in France over the past few years. Having her as a guest star can help increase the French audience for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
"By the way. Has your contract with the company expired yet?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"It's due in half a year, and I can finally escape from that evil castle." Sophie Marceau said excitedly.
Kang Jianfei asked: "Then what are your plans next?"
Sophie Marceau said: "A Hollywood agency wants me to go to the United States for development, but I have no interest. American movies are full of copper odor and have no artistic connotation at all."
Kang Jianfei was amused. In a few years, when you are short of money, you will even be willing to accept those meat-selling movies under the guise of art. Don’t say any commercial movies that have no connotation.
Sophie Marceau continued: "French films have been influenced by Hollywood and have become more and more commercialized in recent years. I am going to go to Italy to see the directors there who still insist on art."
"Everything I have seen with my own eyes is ugly, but the scenery that cannot be seen is the most beautiful," Kang Jianfei said while chewing foie gras. "Italy is similar to France. In fact, it is the same all over the world. Most ordinary people are not interested in so-called art films.
not interested."
"What about you?" Sophie Marceau asked.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "First of all, I am the boss of a film company and a businessman. I have to be responsible for the employees under me. So I can only make commercial films, but I will support some artistic directors. My company must make at least two films every year."
Literary film.”
Sophie Marceau said with emotion: "You are a very enlightened boss. If my boss could be like you, I wouldn't think about leaving the company all day long. They are a bunch of villains. They even want me to have a boyfriend."
My friends also want to take care of me, and they threaten me with contracts at every turn, and they say it's for my own good and to maintain my star image."
"Are you sure you want to make a different movie?" Kang Jianfei asked.
"Of course." Sophie Marceau complained, "From the age of 14 to now, I have played so many roles, either an innocent schoolgirl or a kind-hearted aristocratic lady. As soon as I see the camera, I think
vomit."
"Then why don't I invest in a movie for you?" Kang Jianfei said.
"What kind of movie?" Sophie Marceau asked.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's definitely different from what you've filmed before. Let me briefly outline the plot: Alex, a man who is about to get married, meets Fangfang, a dancer who is lively and open-minded and advocates individuality, and falls hopelessly in love.
net.
He has always lived in still water, and he has never tasted the stormy waves of love. And Alex, who grew up in the shadow of his mother constantly changing her sexual partners during his childhood, stubbornly believed that sexual love would not last long.
, everything was over once he went to bed, so he made a decision that he would pursue Fangfang forever, but never involve sex..."
Kang Jianfei carefully recalled and narrated the plot of "Fangfang". Some details were slightly biased due to memory errors, but Sophie Marceau was still listening with gusto. It was obvious that she was looking forward to the role of Fangfang. (To be continued. If you like
