Feng Xiaogang originally couldn't discredit Kang Jianfei, so he came to Shanghai to guest star in "Kung Fu". Who would have thought that he would actually accept a filming assignment from a major studio.※%※%,
Generally speaking, Feng Xiaogang at this time was not qualified enough to direct a gift film from a major studio like Shanghai Film Studio. Without Kang Jianfei's help, it would have been impossible for him to do this job.
Feng Xiaogang was extremely excited. This "The Wind" is a blockbuster planned by Kang Jianfei and produced by Shanghai Film Studio. It is also a National Day gift. As long as this movie can be made well, his fame and status in the industry will increase.
It will go up. This kind of film cannot be compared with "Story of the Editorial Board" and "Beijingers in New York". Being able to direct a National Day gift film from a major studio is itself an affirmation of the director within the system.
After filming the guest scene in "Kung Fu", Feng Xiaogang did not go back immediately. Instead, he pestered Kang Jianfei to tell more details and ideas about "The Wind", and then worked with the screenwriter hired by the film studio to create a script.
In just six days, the first draft of the script for "The Wind" was produced. Feng Xiaogang came to the crew with the script in hand to ask Kang Jianfei to correct it. Kang Jianfei put forward some "own" ideas based on the plot in his memory, and Feng Xiaogang immediately
I took the script back and revised it.
After revising it back and forth three times and taking half a month, Feng Xiaogang finally finalized the script and came to ask Kang Jianfei if he had any ideas about the character.
If Zhang Yimou or Chen Kaige are the directors, they must choose actors according to their own ideas. Even Jiang Wen is very insistent on casting. But Feng Xiaogang is different. He is still a newbie in the field of film directing, just like he has just entered the family.
As a daughter-in-law, everything depends on the face of her parents-in-law.
"Shanghai Film Studio has already appointed actors for the two roles of Li Ningyu and Wu Zhiguo." Feng Xiaogang explained honestly. He meant to let Kang Jianfei arrange actors for the remaining roles.
This kind of gift blockbuster is a good opportunity to cultivate stars, and Kang Jianfei doesn't want to let it go. The contracted actor of Feizhi Film and Television is Jiang Wen, who is pretty good. But Jiang Wen is already famous enough, so there is no need to fight for him. Kang Jianfei
From the beginning, I had my eye on the two female leads in the film.
"Who is Shanghai Film Studio planning to cast as Li Ningyu?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Feng Xiaogang did not answer directly, but asked: "Has Mr. Kang seen the movie "Lushan Love"?"
"I've seen it," Kang Jianfei immediately came to his senses and confirmed, "Shanghai Film Studio wants Zhang Yu to play Li Ningyu?"
Feng Xiaogang nodded and said: "The leaders of Shanghai Film Studio believe that the role of Li Ningyu is based on a returnee who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and Zhang Yu is famous for playing returned overseas Chinese. This role is very suitable for her."
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Talk like a human being!"
Feng Xiaogang smiled awkwardly and said: "Zhang Yu is a famous star trained by the Shanghai Film Studio. She went to Taiwan to develop and film TV series in the past two years. She did not make a name for herself in Taiwan. Instead, she wasted away her fame in the mainland.
I came back and made a movie in the first half of the year and the response was not good."
"So you want to show your face again through "The Wind"?" Kang Jianfei threw a cigarette to Feng Xiaogang, directed the prop master to place the billboard, and then continued, "Just tell the people at the film studio about the design of Li Ningyu's character.
He must be calm and composed, Zhang Yu is characterized by sweetness and gentleness, so it is not suitable for her to play the role."
Feng Xiaogang probed: "What does Mr. Kang mean?"
Kang Jianfei said without question: "I want the roles of the two female leads in "The Wind". The rest can be arranged by the film studio."
Feng Xiaogang didn't know how to answer the question. The two female leads who are most likely to shine in "The Wind" are the two female leads. Kang Jianfei wanted both roles, and it was too ugly to look at. Moreover, Zhang Yu, who was appointed by Shanghai Film Studio, was not ordinary.
Actress. She is currently the only actress to win four consecutive awards in one year - Golden Rooster Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Wenhui Award and Government Award. Having her in the role can bring a lot of attention to "The Wind". Kang Jianfei's reasons for opposition are real.
Too far-fetched.
"The people at Shanghai Film Studio will agree." Kang Jianfei smiled lightly, "If we can't agree on the actors' issues, the worst possible outcome is that the movie won't be made."
Feng Xiaogang was speechless after hearing this. Shanghai Film Studio wanted to film "The Wind" to fulfill its political mission. Kang Jianfei didn't care whether it was filmed or not. In the end, Kang Jianfei had the final say.
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to dwell on this topic anymore. He waved to Xi Zhongwen who was not far away: "Awen, come here!"
Xi Zhongwen is the costume and stylist of "Kung Fu". When he heard Kang Jianfei calling him, he immediately ran over and asked, "Mr. Kang, what do you want to give me?"
Kang Jianfei introduced: "Xiao Gang, this is Mr. Xi Zhongwen, the best costume designer in Hong Kong. I will leave the costumes and styling of "The Wind" to him. Awen, this is the director Feng Xiaogang from Mainland China. He will be filming soon."
A spy movie."
"Hello Mr. Xi!"
"Hello, hello, take care of me."
Feng Xiaogang and Xi Zhongwen shook hands and greeted each other. Kang Jianfei asked them to chat for a while while he went to film.
Kang Jianfei wanted Chen Hong to play the role of Zhou Xun in the original film. She should be able to easily fulfill the role of a person who is indulgent, free and easy, beautiful and exquisite, sometimes supple and sometimes mean.
As for the role of Li Ningyu, Kang Jianfei is still a little hesitant. In the original film, Li Bingbing played the role, but now Li Bingbing is obviously a bit tender, and the baby fat on her face shows her age. This problem can only be solved through makeup and styling.
Come up and solve the problem. If the results are really not good after the trial, Kang Jianfei will have no choice but to agree to a substitution.
"Are you ready?" Kang Jianfei walked towards the direction of Unit 1.
"Okay!" Du Kefeng gestured with a piece of jewelry. Kang Jianfei's original photographer was Chung Zhiwen, but Zhong Zhiwen was recently directing a movie, so the director of photography for "Kung Fu" became Du Kefeng.
The scene to be filmed now is the scene where Zhou Xingchi meets the heroine and then gets on the tram with the fat man.
This scene was still shot in Shanghai. To be honest, the scenery was very difficult to build and it cost a lot of money. After all, Shanghai has developed a lot. Old-style streets are very difficult to find and it takes a lot of money to find them.
Great effort in decorating and decorating.
By this time, Kang Jianfei will miss the beauty of the major film and television cities in mainland China. For example, when Zhou Xingchi was filming "Kung Fu" in the original time and space, although the Pig Cage Walled City was a temporary building, the scenes on the city streets were shot directly.
You can take photos at Haichedun Film and Television City.
Kang Jianfei's Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City is still too small in scale, and the antique streets are condensed versions. The filming gives off a small-minded atmosphere, which is why Kang Jianfei came to Shanghai to shoot scenes.
Perhaps, it’s time to invest in building a movie theater in mainland China!
The land price in Hong Kong is too expensive, and Kang Jianfei cannot afford to buy large tracts of land to build a house, but the land in the mainland is cheap. Especially in those suburban towns, for Kang Jianfei, buying land is no different from picking up land.
After finishing the post-production of "Kung Fu", Kang Jianfei is planning to go to the mainland again to finalize the construction of a film and television city. The location he is initially considering is Hengdian.
"Mr. Kang, I'm OK too," Zhou Xingchi said.
"I'm ready too!" Chen Derong nodded to Kang Jianfei. She was wearing a white shirt and standing behind a soda truck on the street. A huge advertisement for Nianji'an Chuanbei Loquat Ointment hung on the wall behind her.
In fact, Kang Jianfei had been thinking about the choice of the heroine for a long time. She must be pure and beautiful. He had considered actresses such as Wang Zuxian and Zhu Xun, but in the end he chose Chen Derong.
The heroine of "Kung Fu" doesn't have many roles to begin with, and she doesn't have any lines. Twenty-year-old Chen Derong's facial features are as delicate as if they were drawn. When she pokes there, she has a sense of presence just by her appearance, which makes her very suitable for acting. This fragile and beautiful vase character.
It is said that the actors in "Kung Fu" are really difficult to choose. More than ten people auditioned for the role of Buck Yazhen alone. Finally, a special-looking actress was chosen and she was asked to wear false front teeth to play. As for the character played by Lin Zicong in the original film Little Fatty, Kang Jianfei made several selections. Finally, he settled on a newcomer named Zhu Yangzhe who had just graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Thanks to Kang Jianfei's strong support and cooperation with Dongshi Company and DreamWorks, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts has developed far better than in the past few years. In recent years, it has provided a large number of acting talents and behind-the-scenes teams to the Hong Kong film industry. At least in the Oriental Entertainment Agency Among the company's contracted actors, there were several first- and second-tier stars that Kang Jianfei had never heard of before.
"The 18th scene of "Kung Fu" has 3 shots and 1 shot, Aikesh!"
Chen Derong was organizing the soda cabinet, and Zhou Xingchi walked over and slapped it hard: "Where do you put the money during the robbery?"
Chen Derong raised his head and looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Xingchi grabbed Chen Derong's lapel and threatened: "Tell me where to put the money!"
Chen Derong still looked at him without saying a word.
Zhou Xingchi shouted: "What are you looking at! Tell me!"
"Ka! Do it again!" Kang Jianfei said dissatisfied.
Zhou Xingchi and Chen Derong both turned to look at the director, as if they didn't understand what was wrong.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Chen Derong and said: "You just finished playing the Qiong Yao drama "Plum Blossom Brand", haven't you jumped out of that drama yet? You are now the heroine of "Kung Fu", you are a strong and considerate mute, You just met a benefactor you haven’t seen for many years. There should be surprise and sadness in your eyes, rather than pure pity! Do you have a broken tear duct? Why do you want to shed tears as soon as you enter the camera?"
"I...I'll give it a try." Chen Derong lowered her head in embarrassment. She really hasn't gotten out of the plot of "Plum Blossom Brand" yet. Because the character she played suffered a miserable life, she had to take on the role and film countless crying scenes. By the last ten or so episodes, Chen Derong often cried loudly and called her mother out of her sleep. And she rushed over to film "Kung Fu" immediately after filming "Plum Blossom Brand", without even having time to adjust.
"You can think about it for a while, Xingzi, please help her." Kang Jianfei assigned Zhou Xingchi the next task.
In another time and space, Zhou Xingchi and Chen Derong have actually collaborated for a long time, and they were the male and female protagonists respectively. But because of the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, they did not meet until now.
The vase is not that easy to make. It is a very simple scene. Chen Derong was stuck and failed several times. She always pretended to be the role in "Plum Blossom Brand". This is such a mess.
.
Chen Derong felt like she was going to collapse. Although Kang Jianfei didn't scold her anymore, she was still getting more and more anxious and panicked.
"Sister Rong, take a drink of water first and take a rest." A fat girl with a round face named Wang Yan came over with a glass of water. (To be continued...) u
