"Move this screen over there...yes, put it there, a little to the left..."
Kang Jianfei was directing the work on the scene, and two other martial artists borrowed from the Hong family class were cutting off the legs of the stool. Only a trace of wood was left attached, which would cause impact damage during the fight.
Chen Mingsheng followed Kang Jianfei to help, and only stepped aside when the filming was about to start. He thought he would be able to show off his skills after joining the crew of "Mr. Zombie", but he did not expect that he could only fill in some details that Kang Jianfei had missed, and the overall art design of the film.
, Kang Jianfei has already done it himself.
Chen Mingsheng asked Zhong Zhiwen who had adjusted the camera position: "Mr. Zhong, the previous scenes were all art directed by Director Kang alone?"
Zhong Zhiwen laughed and said: "Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first started filming with him. The lens design is basically completed. It's nothing without me as the director of photography."
Chen Mingsheng sighed: "Director Kang is really an all-rounder!"
Zhong Zhiwen said: "Not only that, his habit of making movies is very unique. It seems that before the shooting of the movie starts, he already has the shots and images of the entire movie in his head. During the early stage of filming, he already has a complete
It was divided into shot scripts, and without any discussion with Mei Zhi or the photographer, it was all completed by one person."
"Are you kidding?" Chen Mingsheng asked in surprise. There are very few directors in the world who can do this. When filming with such a director, the work will be very easy and fast, but it will often give people a sense of frustration.
Feeling. Because people like Chen Mingsheng and Zhong Zhiwen feel that their talents have nowhere to display, and they can only follow Kang Jianfei to pick up the slack.
Of course, you can learn a lot by following Kang Jianfei when making movies, because he often inadvertently reveals a lot of later movie-making techniques and concepts, which is very rare and valuable for today's filmmakers.
For example, Hu Juncai, who took notes on the spot for Kang Jianfei, and Chen Xunqi, who served as assistant director, both learned quickly. As long as they make one or two more movies with Kang Jianfei, they might be able to direct independently.
Yuan Hua, who was dressed up as a zombie boss, jumped up and stabbed Lou Nanguang in the neck and threw him, causing the latter to immediately fly to the side.
"Ka! Start again." Chen Xunqi, who has officially become the executive director, shouted, but Lou Nanguang jumped in the wrong position when he was "beaten" out, and did not break the preset stool.
Lou Nanguang fell down three times and finally got it right. Lin Zhengying also appeared in a short coat holding an ink fountain. Kang Jianfei and Lin Zhengying, one on the left and the other on the right, held the ink fountain string and headed towards the zombie played by Yuan Hua to intercept.
Huang Xia, who originally played the role of Li Saifeng's father, has already completed filming. At this time, he is responsible for directing and operating wires, and sometimes makes a guest appearance as the Dragon and Tiger martial artist himself.
As soon as Kang Jianfei and Lin Zhengying rushed over, Huang Xia gestured to the operator. The two of them pulled the wire together, and the zombie immediately flew back.

Eight zombie prop models wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms were placed in a circle in the center of the hall.
Yuan Hua was wearing insulating clothes, looked at the lighter in Lin Zhengying's hand, and asked with some worry: "You won't really burn me, will you?"
Lin Zhengying had a sullen face and said seriously: "Probably not. Mr. Kang bought this for a lot of money, but I have never used it before."
Yuan Hua was so frightened by what Lin Zhengying said that he was about to speak when Lin Zhengying put an insulated hood on his head, then lit a lighter and touched him.
"boom!"
Flames quickly shot up from Yuan Hua's sleeves, instantly igniting half of his body.
"Ah!" Yuan Hua yelled and struggled, waving his arms randomly. Although there was insulation material, he was still frightened. He could even smell the wig on his head being burned.
Yuanhua struggled with the fire for 10 seconds. Kang Jianfei immediately shouted: "Ka, put out the fire quickly!"
"Bah..."
Four fire extinguishing bottles surrounded Yuan Hua, spraying foam wildly at his body, and quickly extinguished the terrifying fire.
Yuan Hua took off his Qing Dynasty official uniform that was about to burn to ashes. He lifted up his sleeves and saw that the skin on his arms was all red. He felt like his hairs were scorched.
The rest was replaced with model props. When the zombie model burst into flames, "Mr. Zombie" was finally completed.
From start-up to completion, it took a total of 18 days.
However, including the preparation time for filming and the time for returning to Hong Kong for post-production, it took at least 40 days.
Kang Jianfei clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "Let's have fun this afternoon and evening and have a good time exploring Taipei. But don't make any mistakes. If anyone doesn't show up when we leave tomorrow, then...
Swim back to Hong Kong from the sea by yourself!”
"Wow!"
There were cheers in the courtyard.
Kang Jianfei pointed at the messy shooting scene and said to Qi Chunwang: "Uncle Qi, please work harder and lead people to clean up this place. In addition, we have to hand over to the Cultural City. I have already informed them of the compensation for demolishing the walls of the wing.
It’s settled.”
"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Qi Chunwang said with a smile.
The Hong family class has borrowed a total of five people this time. Four of them, Yuan Hua, Huang Xia and others, are chatting with Lin Zhengying outside.
When Kang Jianfei went out, he saw Lin Zhengying shaking his head and saying: "I won't go, I won't go, you go ahead..."
Yuan Hua chuckled and said: "If you don't visit Beitou once in Taipei, wouldn't your visit be in vain?"
Lou Nan ran over naked and asked Lin Zhengying: "Brother Lin, I heard that you are going to Beitou to soak in the hot springs. Are you going to kill the chicken? Count me in."
Huang Xia coughed and scolded: "If you want to go, just follow me and don't yell too loudly."
"Understood, understood!" Lou Nanguang shut up immediately.
Seeing that she couldn't push him away, Lin Zhengying saw Kang Jianfei coming, and immediately ran and said: "You guys go, I have something else to do! Director, let's discuss the post-production matters..."
"Hahahaha..." Several guys burst out laughing when they saw Lin Zhengying running away in embarrassment. They didn't really want to trick Lin Zhengying into ghosting, they just wanted to tease him.
After Yuanhua and others left, Lin Zhengying wiped her sweat and relaxed.
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked: "Old Lin, are we having a good time cooperating in this filming?"
"It's so fast to film with Director Kang," Lin Zhengying said sincerely. "If I were to direct this film, it would take at least a month and a half to shoot."
Kang Jianfei pulled him to the corner and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Are you interested in working in my company? I will give you the treatment you would receive in the Bruce Lee era."
Faced with Kang Jianfei's recruitment, Lin Zhengying was very moved.
There are too many talents in Hong Jinbao's Hongjiaban. In addition, people from Yuanjiaban such as Yuanhua and Yuankui are closer to Hong Jinbao. Lin Zhengying's position in Hongjiaban is actually very embarrassing. Although Lin Zhengying has excellent skills
, has always been highly regarded by Hong Jinbao, but this respect is somewhat reserved.
When something good happens, Hong Jinbao will always look after his former classmates from the Yuan family class first, and then people like Lin Zhengying and Huang Xia. This is human nature, and both Lin Zhengying and Huang Xia think it is normal, but
Lin Zhengying, who was Bruce Lee's right-hand man, was inevitably dissatisfied with her current situation.
Lin Zhengying was hesitant, thinking about the pros and cons of leaving and staying: Kang Jianfei's newly opened company did not have its own martial arts personnel. She must have been reused in the past, and she might even have a separate martial arts team to compete with Hong Jinbao's Hong Kong.
The family and the class are on par with each other. But when Bruce Lee passed away and Lin Zhengying was in decline, it was Hong Jinbao who helped him. If he left the Hong family and joined Kang Jianfei, I would feel really sorry.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhengying finally said: "Mr. Kang, I will help Brother Sanmao film two more movies. If the time comes..."
Kang Jianfei didn't wait for him to finish, he smiled and said: "I'll be waiting for you at any time."
If you don't have your own team, you can only ask for help. It's okay if others give you face, but it's uncomfortable when others don't give you face. If you can recruit Lin Zhengying, Kang Jianfei thinks that even if you are unhappy with Hong Jinbao because of this, it won't matter.
Cheng Long later became famous all over the world, and the family-making class he trained was indispensable. Without the family-making class, Cheng Long's movies would be at least five points inferior!
Kang Jianfei's next film is going to be a police drama, so he must have the help of many dragon and tiger martial arts masters, so he is eager to recruit Lam Ching-ying. Otherwise, if he and Hong Jinbao collide during filming, he will not be able to borrow any good moves.
