Dreams of the Fragrant River

Cheng Long threw his crutches aside, walked over carefully, and said to Binny Yuquedz and Prayuth who were fighting, "You are shooting a movie, not a ring. [;Starter] Prayuth's feet need to be Start high, so that you can look better in the camera. And Binny, I must hit the target accurately. Although this may not be enough, it will be more comfortable to watch in the camera..."

Although he can't take part in the filming in person for the time being, Cheng Long, as the action director of this film, has no time to rest. In fact, his feet are no longer in serious trouble, but Cai Yongchang insisted that he be raised for two more days. Not only that, he even got Cheng Long a crutch.

Kang Jianfei was still directing filming, but Lin Qingxia and Sophie Marceau were having a good time chatting not far away. It may be because there are too few women in the crew, they naturally mixed together after filming, and it only took one day to become good friends.

After Sophie Marceau made her debut, Gao Meng Film Company, which she signed with, consciously cultivated her. Teaching English is also one of the training courses. Lin Qingxia and Sophie Marceau are now communicating in English.

"You've made more than 70 movies?" Sophie Marceau looked at Lin Qingxia in surprise and exclaimed, "It's amazing, how could you possibly make this many movies?"

Lin Qingxia was lying on the back of the chair, looking at Kang Jianfei who was directing a movie in the distance, and said, "After suddenly becoming famous, many directors came to invite dramas. At that time, I was young and didn't know how to refuse, so I made more than ten films in a year."

Sophie Marceau couldn't imagine how an actor could act in more than ten movies a year. She shrugged and said, "If it were me, I would probably go crazy. Are you still so busy?"

Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "Now there are at most three films a year. When a woman gets older, she has to cherish herself more, otherwise she will grow old quickly."

Sophie Marceau said seriously: "Miss Lin, you are very young, and your skin is much more delicate than mine. I really envy your oriental skin."

"Don't be humble." Lin Qingxia was very happy to be praised by the little girl for her beauty, she said with a smile, "Taiwan has a lot of your fans."

Sophie Marceau didn't even know where Taiwan was. She asked curiously, "Is Taiwan far from Japan? There are people watching my movies even so far away."

"It's not far from Japan," Lin Qingxia said. "When it was released in Taiwan, it caused quite a stir, and many young people regarded you as their dream lover."

Sophie Marceau said happily: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely travel to Taiwan."

Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be your tour guide when the time comes."

Sophie Marceau got up and asked for two bottles of mineral water. Throwing a bottle to Lin Qingxia, she raised her head and drank it to herself. She looked at the martial arts actors who were doing the same movements repeatedly, and the dragon sets that were being dragged and kicked. She couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect such an action scene Hard."

Lin Qingxia played with the bottle cap boredly. Said: "It's very hard. I have to get hurt often, and I can fall asleep when I'm so tired after a day of filming."

Sophie Marceau pointed at Kang Jianfei who had just shouted "ka" and said, "Is Mr. Kang very famous in Asia? I found that everyone in the crew respected him very much."

Speaking of Kang Jianfei, Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course he is famous. He is a talented director in Hong Kong, and he has a lot of strange nicknames."

"Strange nickname?" Sophie Marceau asked in confusion.

Lin Qingxia said: "It's like a 'disaster film director' or something."

Sophie Marceau asked: "Has he made disaster movies?"

Lin Qingxia explained: "The director of a disaster film means that the film he directs is a disaster for other directors. As long as it is a film released at the same time, it will be crowded by the film he directed and cannot sell at the box office. "

Sophie Marceau was speechless in surprise. She did not expect Kang Jianfei to be so powerful.

While the two beauties were chatting, an Asian man walked over quickly and went directly in the direction of Cheng Long.

"Aqiang, why are you here?" Cheng Long looked at the man in surprise.

The person who came was Cheng Long's friend Chen Ziqiang and his manager. It was Chen Ziqiang who recommended Cheng Long to Luo Wei at the beginning, which gave Cheng Long a chance to stand out. Later, Cheng Long was poached by Jiahe, and Luo Wei was angry at Chen Ziqiang, the recommender. Cheng Long was still loyal, and he brought Chen Ziqiang into Jiahe as a broker.

"I heard that your foot was injured, so I'll come over in advance to take a look." Chen Ziqiang looked at Cheng Long's feet with concern.

Cheng Long touched Chen Ziqiang's shoulder and said, "It's just a small injury."

"Don't work so hard in the future," Chen Ziqiang advised. "By the way, A-Lin can't leave while filming in Hong Kong. Ask me to come visit you on his behalf."

The "A Lin" in Chen Ziqiang's mouth is Qin Xianglin. Cheng Long first met Chen Ziqiang through Qin Xianglin, and was then introduced to Luo Wei by Chen Ziqiang. The relationship between the three is very good.

Chen Ziqiang pulled up a stool and sat down, lit a cigarette and said, "I planned to come back some time later, but since I'm here, I'll tell you, Boss Zou is going to release a record for you."

"A record is out again?" Cheng Long immediately recalled the painful experience of recording songs more than two years ago.

Chen Ziqiang explained: "In the past two years, your movie episodes, the theme song, and the theme song of the play you're shooting now. Boss Zou is going to make these songs into an album."

Cheng Longmo counted the time and said, "Wait until the movie is finished before recording the song. Christmas is almost over by then. Is Mr. Zou going to let me release a record for the New Year?"

Chen Ziqiang nodded, shook the soot, and asked, "How is it, do you feel uncomfortable working with that talented director?"

"Fortunately," Cheng Long also pulled up the bench and sat down, "Mr. Kang respects my opinion."

Chen Ziqiang glanced at the crutches beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "Who got it for you?"

Cheng Long took the crutches over and said, "Who else could there be? Of course it's Uncle Chang, who got me a crutch when he slashed his foot."

Chen Ziqiang wanted to ridicule a few words, but suddenly his face changed, he stood up and shouted, "Stop!"

Cheng Long didn't realize what was going on, only to see Chen Ziqiang already chasing after him, and someone in the distance turned around and fled.

"What happened?" Kang Jianfei came over and asked.

Cheng Long shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Kang Jianfei asked again, "Who was that person who chased after him just now?"

Cheng Long said, "My agent, Chen Ziqiang."

"Oh. It turns out to be him." Kang Jianfei's name for Chen Ziqiang has long been known to his ears. This person is not only the producer of the film, but also Zheng Yuling, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Manyu, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuixian, Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Aijia, and Carina Lau in another time and space. , Liu Qingun, Wu Junru, Zhao Yazhi and other big stars' agents.

A few minutes later, Chen Ziqiang returned to the crew out of breath, and Cheng Long asked quickly, "Aqiang. Who were you chasing just now?"

"Remember... huhu, reporter... that reporter was taking pictures just now," Chen Ziqiang gasped for a few seconds before continuing, "I rushed at his mother and ran so fast that she disappeared in a blink of an eye. "

Cheng Long said, "Just shoot, it's no big deal."

Chen Ziqiang pointed at the cane and said, "You forgot? You were leaning on the cane just now, okay?"

Cheng Long's face changed and he said, "Those reporters shouldn't go back and write?"

"What else is there to say? It must be Cheng Long who was injured and was on crutches during the filming, and maybe he will write about your disability." Chen Ziqiang said angrily, "These people who are smashing the streets, actually came to Italy with them."

"Okay, just help us promote the movie." Kang Jianfei persuaded with a smile, he thought that these reporters were definitely not here to shoot Cheng Long. Most of the time, I came to Rome for business and stopped by to take a few photos. Just like Qin Xianglin and Teresa Teng were photographed by reporters traveling together in Rome a few years ago. It was also pure bad luck, and I happened to meet a Taiwanese reporter who came to Rome to do business.

...

...

Three days after the candid filming incident, a tabloid in Hong Kong revealed that Cheng Long was injured while filming a new film.

As soon as the news came out, the newspaper's sales really increased, and many Cheng Long fans even called Jiahe for confirmation.

Zou Wenhuai, who had been prepared for a long time, took the opportunity to hold a press conference to clarify, and also promoted it by the way. And some pictures of the crew. It will also be published in the next few days.

These photos have aroused great interest among readers, such as Cheng Long and Zhou Billi squatting together for lunch, Kang Jianfei napping on the director's chair and so on.

Among them, the photos of Lin Qingxia and Sophie Marceau sitting together eating ice cream attracted the attention of Taiwanese media, and they came to Golden Harvest and DreamWorks to buy photos.

For a while, this unfinished film has actually become a topic of discussion among many citizens.

Golden Harvest Pictures, General Manager's Office.

Zou Wenhuai threw a cigar to He Guanchang and asked, "How is it in Rome?"

He Guanchang said: "Except for Aaron's injury, everything went well. However, Yongchang called and said, I am afraid that the budget will have to be increased, and it will be too expensive to film abroad."

Zou Wenhuai asked, "How much is the budget?"

He Guanchang replied: "Maybe the shooting budget will be more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars."

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help frowning, 50 million Hong Kong dollars is a sky-high price for a Hong Kong film, but it is more than 6 million in US dollars.

But what makes Zou Wenhuai unhappy is that no big-name stars in Europe and America have been invited to star in the show. Zou Wenhuai doesn't think that she is very famous for a girl star like Sophie Marceau.

If you didn't invite top stars, where did the 50 million Hong Kong dollars budget go?

This is what Zou Wenhuai was dissatisfied with. He felt that Kang Jianfei's filming was too expensive. If Cai Yongchang had not calculated every account clearly, Zou Wenhuai would have even suspected that Kang Jianfei was making a profit from it.

The 50 million budget is really worthless. Kang Jianfei's director's salary is 5 million, Cheng Long's actor's salary is 5 million, and Lin Qingxia's actor's salary is 2 million. The salary of the three main creators alone can scare people to death. 12 million is enough to make seven or eight low-cost movies in Hong Kong.

However, since I chose to cooperate with DreamWorks, it is useless to regret it now. Zou Wenhuai is not that kind of person. He changed the subject and said, "Chang Chang, I'm not looking for you today. It's not for anything. Sir Shao's side has already leaked, and he is going to sell the Shaw Cinemas."

He Guanchang nodded: "I heard that too."

Zou Wenhuai asked, "Do you think we should buy it?"

He Guanchang pondered: "The current layout of the Golden Harvest Cinema is very good. I don't think there is any need to **** the theater. Sir Shao will definitely not sell it cheaply."

Zou Wenhuai said: "If we don't buy it, someone will definitely buy it. I'm afraid that when a golden princess or a new era emerges, there will be another competitor for nothing."

He Guanchang smiled and said: "How can a theater chain be so easy to do, Lei Juekun is rich and Kang Jianfei is talented. Only then did Princess Jin and the new era prop up, and other people would have already finished playing themselves. "

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case." Zou Wenhuai sighed.

...

...

"What? You told me to buy a theater chain!" Pan Disheng looked at Cen Jianxun in surprise.

Cen Jianxun nodded and said, "Shaw Brothers is going to sell the theater chain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss this opportunity, I am afraid that such good things will not happen again in ten or twenty years."

The reason why Pan Disheng started a film company is just to use movies to promote his brand, and to make a fortune in the prosperous Hong Kong films. How could he have thought of opening a theater company?

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to buy a theater chain?" Pan Disheng asked.

Cen Jianxun analyzed: "If it was a few years ago, it would definitely be too expensive to scare people to death. But now the political situation in Hong Kong is unstable. Land and property are falling madly. Although Hong Kong films are more and more profitable, the cinema is not as good as three years. It was valuable in the past. If you make a move now, you can win more than half of the Shaw Brothers theater chain by tens of millions. If you wait for two more years to complete the negotiations, then it will cost at least one or two hundred million."

Ask Pan Disheng to spend millions to make a movie and he can get it. If he spends tens of millions to buy a theater line, he can only turn to his father for help.

Pan Disheng shook his head and said, "I think it's better to be safe. We haven't even formally established a film company, so it's still a little early to talk about acquiring a cinema chain."

Cen Jianxun is still instigating: "Mr. Pan, even if we don't make movies ourselves, judging from the current development trend of Hong Kong movies, opening a theater company in at least ten years will make a steady profit."

Pan Disheng still didn't want to take risks, and said, "I don't know much about running a theater chain, so let's make two movies first."

Cen Jianxun could only sigh to himself, although he saw the huge opportunity in it. But let alone buying the entire theater line, he would have no money to buy one of the small theaters.

Walking out of the Pan family's villa, Cen Jianxun suddenly felt that there was no future in opening a film company with Pan Disheng, because this Mr. Pan's mind was obviously not on the film, and he was more concerned about his watch business.

Originally determined to resign from DreamWorks and start a company with Pan Disheng, Cen Jianxun suddenly hesitated.

...

...

"Crack! Come again!" Kang Jianfei raised his head from behind the camera, "Aaron, try to relax and stretch out your body."

"I'll try again." Cheng Long felt a hot palm in his palm, and raised his hand to see that there were bloodstains.

The scene to be shot at the moment is very difficult, requiring Cheng Long to quickly climb up to the second floor with his bare hands from the ground, and then climb to the third floor balcony to jump to another building.

In the first few shoots, Cheng Long also managed to do this, but the movements were not as smooth as Kang Jianfei imagined.

To put it bluntly, what Kang Jianfei wants Cheng Long to do is the future parkour.

Kang Jianfei put down the guide tube, walked over and said to Cheng Long, "I'll demonstrate it, you should look at it carefully."

Cheng Long was a little surprised, because most of the action scenes these days were made by him. Kang Jianfei not only made special requests today, but also personally demonstrated.

Not only Cheng Long, but the crew members came over to watch enthusiastically when they heard that the director was going to show his hand in person.

Kang Jianfei took a deep breath, and the three run-ups suddenly jumped up and stepped on the bulge on the wall. At the same time as his body rose with strength, his right hand had reached the railing on the second floor, and then he turned over from the railing like an ape.

Kang Jianfei didn't pause for a moment. After he got to the second floor, he stepped on the railing and jumped. He had already stepped on the second floor windowsill, and soon he was on the third floor balcony. Then there is the run-up and jump, landing on another building and rolling off the force, finishing the whole set of movements without pause.

Cheng Long swallowed his saliva, and Kang Jianfei's actions just now frightened him, because these were a group of actions to be shot in three shots, but Kang Jianfei completed them in one go.

"Clap clap clap..."

The crew applauded in unison.

Sophie Marceau pointed to Kang Jianfei upstairs and asked Lin Qingxia, "Chinese Kung Fu?"

Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "It's kung fu."

Sophie Marceau asked innocently: "It seems that all Chinese people know kung fu, do you?"

Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "Not so much."

Zhou Billy, Prayut and Bentley? Yuquedz's three boxing champions ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are also stunned. Where have they seen such vigorous skills?

Not to mention the actions made by Kang Jianfei, it is the videos of those parkour masters in later generations. People who see parkour for the first time will also feel that they are magical.

"He definitely knows kung fu," said Binny Uquedez.

Charles Bronson, a Hollywood action star in his 60s, exclaimed: "That's not kung fu, this guy is a superman, more agile than a monkey."

In the next time, Kang Jianfei spent more than half an hour teaching the essentials of dragon parkour. Cheng Long's skills are inherently agile, and some of his previous movie moves are similar to parkour, so he gets started very quickly.

It took another half an hour for Cheng Long to finally finish filming the group of shots in stages. After Kang Jianfei shouted, this fellow seemed a little unfinished.

Cheng Long was not very interested in the movie concept proposed by Kang Jianfei, but he was very excited about learning to parkour.
