Wang Zuxian was in a very bad state. She started nging non-stop on the second day after turning on the phone. The reason for her poor state was because she was in a bad mood.
Kang Jianfei naturally knew why Wang Zuxian was in a bad mood, so he simply gave the entire crew two days off. Apart from taking time to visit Zhao Ya, he spent the rest of the time relaxing with Wang Zuxian, finally making the young lady happy.
Although it was a holiday, the crew's labor was still calculated, and combined with other losses, the cost of filming "My Sassy Girl" increased by hundreds of thousands out of thin air.
Because he was in a bad mood, he gave the entire crew two days off, and it was Kang Jianfei's crew. Wang Zuxian's trouble quickly spread in the film and television city. No one said that she was acting like a big star, because the director of this drama was Kang Jianfei.
The topic they discussed in private was the close relationship between Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuxian.
Kwun Tong MTR Station.
This is the nearest subway station to Tseung Kwan O Studios. Two scenes of "My Sassy Girl" were shot here.
It's already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and the subway ends at 12 o'clock. By that time, there won't even be a shadow of a person in sight, so it's the best time to start shooting.
"Lin Xue, come here and put this on!" the prop team shouted to Lin Xue.
"Coming, coming!" Lin Xue ran over and took off her coat, wearing a vest underneath, revealing two bare arms.
The prop team put the two stickers on Lin Xue's arms and peeled off the outer transparent tape, leaving two dragon-shaped tattoos on his arms.
Kang Jianfei adjusted the camera position with photographers Huang Tailai and Du Kefeng over there. Ang Lee came over and said to Lin Xue and other extras: "The people from Dongxing will be on my left later. The people from Hongxing Gang will be on my right.
You each find an opponent, and when the shooting starts later, you will attack each other."
The scene I'm filming now. In the original movie, the male protagonist fell asleep on the subway, and his belongings were touched by pickpockets. He slept alone at the terminal at night, and was finally taken to a shelter by the police in his sleep.
This scene obviously cannot be photographed. There are many homeless people in Hong Kong who cannot afford to eat, and the police will not be kind enough to take you in.
After being modified by Kang Jianfei, the scene became Qian Niu sleeping on a waiting chair at a subway station, and then encountered gangsters from the Dongxing Society and the Hongxing Gang fighting for territory. People on both sides started a war centered on the bench where he slept.
In the end, both sides were injured. The male protagonist Qian Niu was also knocked unconscious in the chaos, and was then detained by the police as a club member.
Many plots in the movie were changed by Kang Jianfei in this way. For example, the deserter who appeared in the original film was obviously not in line with the social conditions of Hong Kong. Kang Jianfei changed it to a fugitive who knocked out the guard and took away the gun.
There are now more than 20 extras. They are now divided into two groups by Ang Lee. Dasha Chengkui'an guest stars as the leader of Dongxing, and Lin Xue guest stars as the boss of Hongxing Club.
Lin Xue has been working at DreamWorks for several years. Although she and her boss Kang Jianfei are both from mainland China, she has not received much care and is still just a third-rate actor.
"Lights ready."
“The photography team is ok.”
"The filming is about to start, everyone takes their places."
"...Aikesh!"
After using the coins given by passers-by to call the heroine, the hero returned to the bench to wait, and then fell asleep while waiting.
In the center of the camera, Wu Zhenyu is lying on a bench and sleeping soundly like a toad. Lin Xue and Cheng Kui'an each walk into the camera with a bunch of extras.
Three cameras captured the images from different angles. Cheng Kui'an looked fierce, pointed at Lin Xue and said: "Pheasant, this station is our Dongxing territory!"
"Dongxing's territory? You ask it to see if it agrees." Lin Xue put her thumb on her nose, squinted her eyes and looked down on Dasha, and then said in a sinister manner, "From today on, Kwun Tong Station belongs to my Hongxing gang.
Tube!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine! Do you think the watermelon knife in my hand has never cut anyone?" Cheng Kui'an said angrily.
"I'm not scared," Lin Xue pointed forward with the watermelon knife, "Brothers, chop these Dongxingzi to death!"
"Kill!"
More than 20 extras shouted and rushed toward each other with props waving. In the midst of the flash of swords and shadows, the male protagonist played by Wu Zhenyu was sleeping soundly, squinting his eyes, picking at his neck and curling his lips from time to time.
"It's so noisy! Is it dawn?" Wu Zhenyu sat up from the bench, closed his eyes, yawned and stretched. When he was about to stand up, he was punched and knocked unconscious.
"Hush..." The sound effects engineer next to him whistled.
"The note is coming! Get out quickly!"
"Don't move, everyone squat down and hold your heads with your hands!" Seven or eight actors wearing police uniforms and holding guns rushed over.
"Ka! We're done tonight."
This set of shots was shot in several steps. From Wu Zhenyu sleeping and turning over on the bench, to the conversation between Lin Xue and Cheng Kui'an, as well as the final fight and the appearance of the police, they were all shot separately. In the end, one shot was too demanding for the actors.
Gao and Kang Jianfei didn't make things difficult for the extras, and the filming was completed smoothly after three attempts.
…
The filming of "My Sassy Girl" went smoothly. During this period, this year's Hong Kong Miss Yang Baoling made it to the top 12 of Miss World and won the title of "Asian Beauty Queen". TVB TVB took the opportunity to promote it, and for a time Miss Hong Kong's limelight was overshadowed.
Miss Oriental.
Although this year's Miss Oriental champion Lin Yingxian is beautiful, her acting skills are really bad. She appeared in a TV series but was not loved by the audience.
As for Qiu Shuzhen, she was originally going to play Xiao Qing in "The Legend of White Snake", but now she has to make other arrangements and temporarily play small supporting roles in other TV series.
Because of this, Yang Baoling was greatly valued by TVB. Before she had fulfilled her obligations as Miss Hong Kong, she signed the most significant three-year contract with TVB.
The first Miss Oriental champion Lizhi finally returned to Hong Kong after studying business administration in the United States for several years. She will get her diploma next spring and is now back to DreamWorks for an internship. After getting familiar with the work, she will become Kang Jianfei's personal
assistant.
Now Kang Jianfei has more and more things to do, and only Li Yufeng and Zeng Bolin are working as personal secretaries and assistants around him. It's time to add more people.
Huang Baiming, who broke away from New Art City, was not idle either. He persuaded Johnnie To to join his newly founded Vientiane Pictures and personally wrote a script called "The Eight Stars Announcement".
Huang Baiming made a desperate move in the movie "Eight Star Announcement". Not only did he spend all of Lei Juekun's investment, but he also spent his own savings. The director was Johnnie To, and the actors spent huge sums of money to hire actors from Oriental Entertainment Company.
With the addition of Chow Yun Fat, Chung Chu Hong, Irene Wan and Baby Fung, as well as the signing of popular TV star Cheng Yuling who just left TVB, as well as Wong Pak Ming herself and the very popular Alan Tam, this movie can be said to be star-studded.
Just by looking at the cast of this film, you can see how tense the relationship between Huang Baiming, Mecca, and Shi Tian is - the new film invested by Huang Baiming actually didn't even hire a single actor signed by New Art City.
The cast of "My Sassy Girl".
In a certain cafe, Kang Jianfei made a cameo wearing a suit. He said to Wang Zuxian who had just returned from the bathroom: "Your friend has left."
"Leaving?" Wang Zuxian looked at the stairs, then sat back on the chair.
Kang Jianfei nodded: "Yes, he told me before he left that he must abide by ten rules when he is with you: first, don't try to make her gentle; second, don't let her drink more than three glasses of wine, otherwise she will meet
Hit anyone; thirdly, you must drink coffee in a cafe, never Coke or orange juice..."
"Ka!" Ang Lee said, "ok, let's change the male lead."
Wang Zuxian stepped aside, and Wu Zhenyu sat opposite Kang Jianfei and continued: "Fourth, if she hits you, she must pretend to be in pain. If it really hurts, pretend to be fine; fifth, when you know each other,
On the hundredth day, I must go to her class to send a rose..."
"Click!" Ang Lee ordered the camera that had just been moved to reset. Wu Zhenyu walked away and Wang Zuxian stepped up.
Wang Zuxian tried hard to make a sad expression. In fact, it reminded her of the grievance she felt when she heard that Zhao Yazhi was pregnant but she still had to smile. The sadness and pain suddenly came to her.
Wang Zuxian held his mouth with his hand, tears fell from his eyes, and then ran towards the stairs.
Kang Jianfei stood up with a confused look on his face and looked in the direction where Wang Zuxian ran away. Du Kefeng held the camera and turned the angle.
"Perfect!" Li An gave Wang Zuxian a thumbs up.
Wang Zuxian walked back from the stairs. Just as he was about to reach out to wipe away his tears, a tissue suddenly appeared in front of him.
The tissue was handed over by Kang Jianfei. Wang Zuxian looked at him with a pursed lips and a resentful look before taking it and wiping away the tears on his face.
There were two scenes in the afternoon, one in a restaurant and one in a subway station. Everyone was busy until nine o'clock in the evening.
After that, it went a bit far, and the entire crew moved to Victoria Peak. It took three full days of filming on the mountain to complete it.
After returning, Kang Jianfei discovered something was wrong. The front pages of all newspapers had the same news: The Hang Seng Index plummeted 420 points yesterday!
Black Monday is finally here!
Li Jiacheng, who withdrew 10 billion from the stock market half a month ago, became the biggest winner, followed by Hong Kong's stock sniper Liu Luanxiong. This guy sniped at the Kadoorie family's hotel three months ago and took out the money from the Kadoorie family after a hostile takeover.
A lot of money was evacuated, and not only did it make a lot of money, but it also just escaped the stock market crash.
In the following days, the Hong Kong stock market was in mourning, and the years-long bull market was ended. The Hang Seng Index plummeted by hundreds of points every day in the following days.
After the stock market plummeted for several days, all Hong Kong stock exchanges were suspended. After the Hong Kong government carried out a series of rescue measures, the Hong Kong stock market reopened on the fourth day. Just 15 minutes after the reopening, the Hang Seng Index plummeted 650 points. That day
A total of 1,120 points fell - the previous highest value of the Hang Seng Index was only 4,000 points.
The number of suicide cases in Hong Kong has doubled, and Kang Jianfei, apart from continuing to film "My Sassy Girl", only focuses on two things: First, there is also a stock market crash in the United States, and Kang Jianfei is always paying attention to the stock prices of several major Hollywood movie giants.
; The second is to convene its screenwriters and some economic experts, with Kang Jianfei providing the story outline, and everyone will work together to write the script of "The Big Era". (To be continued...)u
