Xiao Zhenqi's first-year-old banquet was not a lively one. Including her cousin and Ye Laosan, there were only three tables of guests.
What makes Kang Jianfei speechless is that his daughter was able to call her "Mama" a month ago, but now she can't even pronounce the monosyllable word "dad". Pan Yingzi said it was because he had too little time to spend with his daughter.
, Kang Jianfei could only be speechless.
The day after the first birthday party for his daughter, Sophie Marceau flew from Paris to Hong Kong. Kang Jianfei asked the two male and female protagonists, Liang Jiahui and Sophie Marceau, to get acquainted with each other for a few days before choosing a date for filming.
Just when Carina Lau and Xu Jingheng's love affair with wealthy celebrities was making a fuss, big news came out in the entertainment industry again. The couple, Miu Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen, collectively switched to Oriental Entertainment Agency.
The Five Tigers of TVB, which Shao Yifu once personally named, disappeared due to Liu Dehua's departure. As the eldest and most senior member of the Five Tigers of TVB, Michael Miu was also very unhappy at TVB. Last year, Liu Dehua was banned.
At that time, Michael Miu also did not take part in any TV series for a whole year.
Michael Miu's contract with TVB actually expired more than half a year ago. He neither renewed his contract with TVB nor chose to switch to other companies. Instead, he chose to go into business - wholesale glasses for people.
Qi Meizhen was also full of resentment during her time at TVB. Once her five-year contract was up, she refused to renew her contract. In another time and space, Qi Meizhen stayed at TVB for another two years on a filming contract before finally making up her mind to leave the TVB.
And now, because her friend Zhou Xingchi is doing so well, Qi Meizhen immediately ran over to her with her boyfriend Miao Qiaowei as soon as her five-year contract was up.
As for the good relationship between Qi Meizhen and Zhou Xingchi, everyone will understand if you tell me one thing. Zhou Xingchi dragged Liang Chaowei to apply for the wireless artist training class. As a result, Liang Chaowei was admitted, but Zhou Xingchi was rejected. It was because Qi Meizhen applied to the training class.
The teacher begged for mercy. Only then did Zhou Xingchi have the opportunity to attend the night department of the training class.
Zhou Xingchi used to work in the DreamWorks TV production department for more than a year, and he was familiar with him from top to bottom, and the current Oriental TV Production Company was separated from the DreamWorks TV production department. As soon as Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen went there, Zhou Xingchi became
Help, and the two of them are very famous themselves. Not to mention that they will be starring in TV series soon. But there is absolutely no problem with the second male lead and the second female lead.
The internal and external difficulties of TVB have long been revealed. It was not until Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen threw themselves into the arms of their opponents that entertainment newspapers began to disclose the predicament TVB is currently facing.
"The Five Tigers of Wireless are a thing of the past. Andy Lau took over filming in a free capacity, and Michael Miu officially announced that he would join Oriental Entertainment. The only remaining former Five Tigers were Tang Zhenye, Huang Yathua and Tony Leung Chiu-wei. Among the three, Tony Leung is still at the top of his game. Tong Zhenye and Huang Rihua are not as good as
The scenery of the past. The former head of the wireless station is in decline. But the new generation of niche has not yet taken the position, and is in a state of inactivity..." - "Oriental Daily"
"TVB refuses to pay copyright fees to the Recording Association. The latter will formally file a lawsuit in January next year. TVB, which has sluggish ratings, will be involved in lawsuits. Many record companies expressed dissatisfaction with TVB's move, and the International Phonographic Association will also file a lawsuit against TVB.
If a TV station is blacklisted, even if the wireless station wins the lawsuit, it will lose its reputation." - "Hong Kong Commercial Daily"
"TVB is facing a trend of job-hopping, and many artists have terminated their contracts after six months." - "Entertainment Star News"
As Miu Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen switched to Oriental Entertainment, many media outlets in Hong Kong suddenly spoke out collectively, and news that badmouthed TVB came out overwhelmingly.
Behind this, Phoenix TV is naturally the driving force. In fact, the plan to badmouth wireless stations was already formulated when Phoenix TV decided to pay copyright fees to the Recording Association.
As soon as these negative news reports came out, it immediately gave people the impression that TVB was in decline and was about to close down. This made TVB's partners frightened, and many of them even switched to cooperating with Phoenix TV.
TVB quickly held a press conference to clarify. It not only announced the average ratings of TVB in the past few months, but also announced the filming plan of TVB's new year drama "Rogue Tycoon", starring Huang Rihua, Zheng Yuling, Wu Qihua, Liu Jialing, Shang Tian'e, and Deng Cuiwen.
Starring others.
Unfortunately, previous reports that spoke ill of TVB were too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so not many people believed the clarification that TVB held at a press conference.
However, the filming plan of "Rogue Tycoon" surprised Kang Jianfei, because this drama is one of the top ten TVB dramas in the past years. The scriptwriter of this drama is Wei Jiahui, who later also supervised the production
He also starred in "Intolerance" and "Big Time", and later moved to the big screen and became one of the core creators of Galaxy Image.
After receiving the news, Kang Jianfei did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately asked Wen Ruian to adapt the script of "The Two Prides", and appointed young actors Yin Tianzhao and Jiang Hua to play the roles of Hua Wuque and Xiao Yu'er respectively. In addition, Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen, who had just switched jobs from TVB,
They played the roles of Yan Nantian and the little fairy Zhang Jing respectively.
"The Legends" was made into a TV series in Hong Kong seven years ago. The ratings at that time were very high, and it is considered to be Gu Long's work that Hong Kong audiences are familiar with. Kang Jianfei chose this novel to be made into a TV series in order to better integrate with "Rogue Tycoon"
When it comes to competing for ratings and encountering that rare drama, "The Two Prouds" just doesn't lose too hard.
The reason why Kang Jianfei is so concerned about this matter is that the competition between Wireless Station and Phoenix Station has reached the most critical period during this period. Since the third quarter of this year, the overall ratings of the two TV stations have been flat, and the two sides have been fighting each other.
It's hard to tell.
As long as the total ratings in the fourth quarter can clearly beat that of wireless channels, then Phoenix Channel will be able to sit on the throne of Hong Kong's number one TV station. In fact, if TVB had not previously obtained the exclusive broadcasting rights of the World Cup in Hong Kong, Phoenix Channel
In the third quarter, the ratings have surpassed those of wireless stations.
Later, TVB promoted Wu Wanfang to the top, and then used the magic weapon of Jin Yong's martial arts drama, which actually brought the ratings back to a slight advantage. Now that Wu Wanfang has been banned by TVB itself, it is impossible for Jin Yong dramas to be filmed one after another. Phoenix
Naturally, the station wanted to seize the opportunity to win back the ratings, so much so that it even resorted to bribery to blackmail rivals in newspapers.
…
A wooden house was built on the seaside of Tseung Kwan O. This is one of the filming locations of "Fang Fang", which is the seaside residence of the heroine Fang Fang and her grandmother.
It was already dark, and Kang Jianfei had discussed the shooting plan with various departments during the day. Assistant director Ang Lee was assisting Kang Jianfei in coordinating the work of the crew.
Sophie Marceau was wrapped in a coat and was communicating with the leading actor Liang Jiahui in English. The two of them had known each other for three days and had rehearsed the first few scenes in private many times, so it was no longer a problem to work together.
"The lighting is OK."
“Photography is ok.”
"The props team is ready."
"Everyone takes his place!"
"The third scene of the second scene of "Fangfang", Aikesh!"
"Boom!"
Under the lighting engineer's simulation, a ray of white light turned into lightning, and a rumble of thunder also emitted from the sound effects artist's cardboard.
The heavy rain sprayed from the high-pressure water cannon outside made a crackling sound on the roof. Sophie Marceau's coat was gone, and she came in through the window wearing shorts and a T-shirt in winter.
"Ka! Start again."
As soon as Sophie Marceau appeared on the scene, Kang Jianfei immediately shouted that there was something wrong with her somersault posture just now.
In the script rewritten by Kang Jianfei, because the location was changed to Hong Kong, many details are different. For example, at the beginning of the film, when the male protagonist's girlfriend in the original film seduced him, she squatted down directly and had oral sex. Instead, the script was rewritten by Kang Jianfei.
Oriental women naturally have to be more reserved, not to mention that Kang Jianfei also changed the identity of his girlfriend to his cousin. So during the filming some time ago, Lan Jieying was just wearing a sexy nightgown and rolling around on the bed in front of Liang Jiahui. The key is
The parts are vaguely visible, and he also throws flirtatious glances from time to time. This kind of shot is enough to show what Kang Jianfei wants.
However, regarding the plot of the heroine Fangfang, Kang Jianfei could not change it and tried to maintain all the characteristics of this character. For example, in this scene, Kang Jianfei copied the scene of Sophie Marceau doing somersaults intact, so that the female protagonist
The protagonist can give the audience a unique feeling as soon as he appears.
Sophie Marceau has some dance foundation, but it is very difficult to do somersaults out of thin air, so she is wearing a wire on her waist at this time, and she can easily perform movements driven by the steel wire.
After three consecutive reshoots, the scene of Sophie Marceau doing somersaults was finally passed, and then came a one-man show and a scene opposite Tony Leung Ka-fai.
Less than half an hour into filming, Sophie Marceau and Liang Jiahui couldn't bear it any longer. It wasn't until Kang Jianfei called out that they quickly took the blanket from their assistant and wrapped it up.
It was winter at this time, but the hero and heroine were wearing summer clothes. Sophie Marceau was even a little wet because she had just come home in the rain.
"Can you still hold on?" Kang Jianfei walked over and asked, handing Sophie Marceau a cup of hot tea.
Sophie Marceau nodded and said: "No problem."
Kang Jianfei added: "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, you will have a nude swimming scene at the beach. It's difficult to use a stand-in for this scene, so you have to do it yourself."
"I know, I can act well." Sophie Marceau said.
Kang Jianfei wasn't worried about Sophie Marceau's resistance to nude scenes, because he didn't intend for the heroine to reveal anything in the scene. What he was worried about was the temperature of the sea water in the winter. He didn't know if Sophie Marceau could handle it.
live.
It's normal for actors to go into the water to film a scene in the winter. Being shivering with cold can also increase the realism of the scene. But Sophie Marceau's scene was a summer scene. After she came back from swimming in the sea, she had to continue acting normally with her lines. Not only
You can't shiver, and you have to look like you're feeling great after swimming in the summer.
When the male and female protagonists were almost warmed up, the filming work resumed. Tony Leung and Sophie Marceau threw away the blankets they were wrapped in and started performing for the camera again. (To be continued...) u
