Officials from Shaozhou City and Renhua County were even more enthusiastic when Kang Jianfei came to shoot this time, because the tourism company under Kang Jianfei's name had already reached a cooperation agreement with the local government department.@@
Hu Juncai has not been in vain in the mainland these years. Under his management, cinemas and department stores have opened in major cities across the country, and travel companies have also developed Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain. Moreover, this guy is also the son-in-law of the Ye family.
This sign is popular all over the country, but he has kept it secret and has not publicized it to the outside world until now.
Just last month, Hu Juncai stayed in Shaozhou City for more than ten days. He personally visited all the local natural and cultural landscapes, including Danxia Mountain, and finally talked with local officials, scholars, and staff from tourism companies.
After discussion, a detailed tourism development plan was formulated.
It is not only the development of Danxia Mountain, but also Nanhua Temple where the Sixth Patriarch preached Buddhism, and the Meiling Ancient Road, the most well-protected ancient post road in the country. Famous people such as Zhang Jiuling, Han Yu, and Su Dongpo all left poems here, and Mao Taizu, Zhu
The boss, Deng Gong, Peng Shuai and other veteran veterans have all fought here. There are so many celebrity resources that can be used.
The Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company, which was originally established, was renamed Taikang International Tourism Company when Hu Juncai developed Wudang Mountain. Kang Jianfei is still the company's largest shareholder, with Hu Juncai holding 30% of the shares, and the remaining 19% being distributed to the company as dry shares.
High level.
The final plan finalized by Taikang International Tourism Company is to invest 88 million yuan to develop a complete tourism route in Shaozhou City.
88 million yuan was definitely a huge sum of money in a prefecture-level city in the late 1980s. The travel company couldn't afford that much money, so it had to borrow part of it from department stores.
When Kang Jianfei came to Shaozhou City again, many places were undergoing survey and planning. They would be used to build roads or hotels in the future.
The local government has also spent a lot of money, digging out money from tight finances to build various infrastructures, and is ready to roll up its sleeves and go big.
"Kang, this place is so beautiful!" Standing among the Danxia mountains, Stan Winston was completely shocked by the beautiful scenery here.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "There are many beautiful places in China. You can walk more if you have time."
Stan Winston said: "I will. I have had a great time working in Hong Kong these two months. Chinese people are very easy to get along with."
Kang Jianfei took Stan Winston to a valley, pointed down and said: "The model of Hydra Cypress will be assembled and buried here. The cliff should be covered with canes."
Stan Winston pulled out the renderings. After looking around based on the situation in the valley, he estimated: "It will take at least a week."
Kang Jianfei said: "No problem, I'm shooting outside right now. You have about 20 days to finish it slowly."
When filming in such a remote and remote area, there is a lot of trouble. Just eating is a problem.
Fortunately, the China Film Co-production Company and the local government worked very carefully. All kinds of vegetables and fruits were transported by water, and the chef of the city hotel set up an open-air stove in the mountains. As long as it was necessary to cook a meal outdoors, the chef could do it alone.
It can feed the entire crew, and even provide late-night snacks during night scenes.
The crew started working the same day they arrived at Danxia Mountain. The special effects team and the scenery team started working in the valley, while Kang Jianfei set up a camera outside the valley to shoot.
To be precise, I started taking pictures on the way out of the county hotel.
We all took a shabby bus from the suburbs. In addition to the actors from Hong Kong, there were about a dozen local repertory troupe actors sitting on the bus. The repertory troupe actors were naturally extras. They wore homespun clothes and sat on the seats.
Some chatted and fell asleep, and some even picked vegetables and native chicken.
After the bus drove for a while, this scene was passed, and next came scenes of several leading actors riding on tractors and bullock carts.
The old man driving the bullock cart is not a local, but an actor transferred from the Shandong Film Factory by the China Film Co-production Company. He speaks standard Shandong dialect.
Because the first story of "Tomb Robbers Notes" is about King Lu's Cemetery, which takes place in the Yimeng Mountain area, the locals must speak Shandong dialect. This time, a total of 6 actors were seconded from Shandong.
The remuneration of these 6 actors is very cheap. Including food, accommodation and round-trip transportation, each person has an average of two or three scenes, and the total cost of filming is less than 1,000 yuan.
As for why the movie in the Yimeng Mountains of Shan/Dong was filmed in the Danxia Mountains of Guangdong, that can only be explained by fate. If you insist on saying that there is no Danxia landform in Yimeng Mountains, which is inconsistent with geographical common sense, then there is really nothing you can do about it.
.
Several leading actors sat on a bullock cart and moved forward slowly. The crew in front let a native dog over.
The third uncle played by Zeng Jiang jumped out of the car first, patted the veteran Shandong actor on the shoulder and said: "Old man, we have ridden on a tractor and a bullock cart all the way here, shall we ride this dog next?"
Although Tsang’s ancestral home is in Guangdong, there was a time when Hong Kong movies had to have Mandarin dialogue, so the actors who came here at that time would more or less speak a little bit of Mandarin. Not only did Tsang speak Mandarin, but his Mandarin was also laced with
I first learned how to order Beijing flavor from a Peking Opera actor who came from Beijing.
In order to give the film a sense of authenticity, Kang Jianfei decided not to re-dub it when it was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The actors spoke Cantonese when in Hong Kong, and the "local" actors spoke Shan/Oriental dialect when in Danxia Mountain. Finally, they had to go to Beijing to reshoot a few scenes.
, the third uncle played by Zeng Jiang speaks Mandarin with a crappy Beijing flavor from beginning to end.
"How can a dog ride? The next route is to take a boat. The dog is used to report the news. It will bring the boat over." This veteran actor from Shandong has a very solid foundation, and there is no trace of performance at all.
Speak normally as you would in real life.
Zeng Jiang glanced at the native dog and asked, "This dog can also swim?"
"It's a great swim," the old actor said, tapping the dog's head with his cigarette pole, "Donkey Dandan, go swim and show it to the guests."
The dog was disobedient, and was hit by an old actor with a cigarette pole. He was so frightened that he jumped away with his tail between his legs. The rest of the scene had to be done by the owner of the dog, calling him to run away. The shot of Ru Shui simply showed the dog.
Throw it into the river.
The sky was about to get dark, and everyone was busy for a long time. They only took a picture of the tomb robber gang preparing to enter the corpse cave by boat. The last shot was a close-up of the face of the old Shan. Dong actor. There was a simple and honest smile on his wrinkled face.
Upon closer inspection, it slowly turned into a sinister smile, and there was a viciousness in his eyes.
"Ka! Today's play ends here." Kang Jianfei walked over and shook hands with the old actor and praised, "Uncle, your sinister smile and eyes just now were absolutely amazing."
Zeng Jiang is also an experienced actor who has been filming movies for 20 to 30 years. At this time, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to the veteran actor: "It's really amazing. I feel a lot of pressure to act opposite my brother."
The old actor smiled sheepishly and said: "Well, I have been playing bad guys for half my life. They are either Japanese devils, traitors of the Kuomintang, traitors and bad landlords. This kind of sinister smile and vicious eyes have long been seen.
I’ve performed it countless times and I can do it even when I’m asleep.”
Kang Jianfei threw away his cigarette and asked, "What's your surname?"
The old actor waved his hand and said: "It's not expensive. My surname is Qin and my name is Qin Yuemin. You can just call me Lao Qin."
Kang Jianfei had never heard of this name, so he quietly asked people at the China Film Co-production Company. They also said they didn't know. They only knew that he was an actor recommended by Shandong Film Studio. He was probably an old actor with solid acting skills but little fame.
supporting role.
There was no night scene to be filmed today, so we called it a day at dusk. When we went back, we all took a boat to the county town, because there was still a long mountain road to travel by land.
Together with the scenery, special effects team and various equipment, the entire crew was teetering on more than 30 small boats, forming a long queue and floating on the river.
The fleet was rowed by manpower, and before returning to the county, night fell halfway. The bright moon in the sky was reflected in the river, the river breeze was blowing, the water was slightly rippled, and the chirping of birds and insects could be heard from both sides of the bank from time to time.
, full of natural interest in the mountains.
While rafting on the river on this quiet and peaceful moonlit night, both the actors from Hong Kong and the employees from Beijing experienced a dreamy feeling that was different from that in big cities.
"It would be great if we could have a bonfire party by the river now." Wu Zhenyu said to Lin Xue sitting next to him.
Lin Xue has been working hard to gain weight during this period, and now weighs more than 160 kilograms. He held the side of the shaking boat uneasily and said, "I can't swim. The boat is shaking quite hard. What do you think will happen if it capsizes?"
manage?"
Cheng Kui'an smiled and said, "If you turn it over, I'll fish it out for you."
Zhang Yan rested her elbows on her thighs, dragged her cheeks with her palms, and tilted her head to look at the moon in the water, fascinated. This was the first time she went out to shoot an outdoor scene. During the day today, except for Zeng Jiang and the old actor Qin Yuemin,
, the leading actors only had to show their faces and didn’t even have to say their lines, so they got through it very easily.
Now that she is surrounded by such leisurely and beautiful scenery, Zhang Yan is quite enjoying the life of shooting on location. She was very tired from filming in the studio of the film and television city some time ago.
Qin Yuemin. Mr. Qin was sitting with Zeng Jiang at this time. He said with emotion: "You Hong Kong colleagues are still very heroic in filming. How much does it cost to go back and forth on outdoor scenes? It would be much easier to set up indoors directly."
Zeng Jiang said with a smile: "Hong Kong used to have indoor settings, but not many people watch that kind of drama anymore. The audience likes to watch live action. I will write you a phone call when I get back to the hotel. If I want to come to Hong Kong next time, please call me in advance.
I'll make a call."
"I'm afraid I won't be so lucky anymore. At this age, even coming to Guangzhou is all thanks to your crew." Qin Yuemin chuckled.
Zhang Yan looked towards Kang Jianfei at the stern of the boat and saw that he was chatting with someone from the photography team. They were probably discussing tomorrow's camera positions and lenses.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the fleet finally docked. Zhang Yan slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and when Kang Jianfei got off the boat, she followed, staying half a meter behind Kang Jianfei. (To be continued...
