Dreams of the Fragrant River

Zhao Yazhi was originally planning to go to the "Happy Ghost" crew to worship the gods with Kang Jianfei. After all, as a "friend", why should he come to participate in the worship ceremony and wish Kang Jianfei's new film a big hit.

Just because her husband suddenly came to pick her up, Zhao Yazhi quarreled with her again—she always thought that the love letter incident was stabbed to the media by Huang Hanwei, so she missed the time to worship God.

When I got to the set, I happened to see Kang Jianfei pointing at a circle of onlookers and scolding him, and then he brought down a dragon and tiger martial artist neatly. He looked so majestic!

In the past, Kang Jianfei also said that he was very good at kung fu, but Zhao Yazhi thought he was joking. Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Yazhi felt the mystery of Kang Jianfei more and more, and thought to himself: So he really knows kung fu, he doesn't know what else to do, he is really a person who can never guess.

After being scolded by Kang Jianfei, and being assigned to a dragon and tiger martial artist, although the others looked at Kang Jianfei unhappy, they could only leave angrily. After all, this is the film studio of Shaw Brothers, and Kang Jianfei is a customer who rents the film studio. Shao Daheng is not a vegetarian, so a conflict here is not good for anyone.

After the Xianzaren and the others were blasted away, Kang Jianfei directed the construction of the interior scene of the ruined temple, where Zhu Xiucai hanged himself.

Taking advantage of Kang Jianfei's busy work, Zhao Yazhi came over and asked, "Ah Fei, is there anything else you need help with?"

"I didn't see Sister Zhi before, I thought you wouldn't come," Kang Jianfei laughed. "It's basically done. Sister Zhi, just wait and watch the movie I make."

Zhao Yazhi laughed and said, "That's fine, I'll just wait to see what your movie looks like. Don't make a comedy into a horror movie in the end."

Kang Jianfei said, "I am both comedic and terrifying, and I will keep the audience crying and laughing."

"You can brag!" Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, and asked sternly, "By the way, making a movie is very expensive. Some time ago, director Xu Anhua filmed "Crazy Robbery", and we, the main actors, are asking for a friendship price. , and the filming budget was saved again and again, and it took 850,000 to complete the filming. You have more than 500,000 in your hand, and if the budget is not enough, I still have more than 300,000 deposits here..."

Kang Jianfei was really surprised by Zhao Yazhi's words. The relationship between the two of them didn't seem to be that deep. They were just close and ambiguous friends. Zhao Yazhi was willing to spend more than 300,000 yuan to make a movie for him.

How much is more than 300,000? At this time, the average worker's salary is only about 1,200, and it is only possible to save so much without eating and drinking for 20 years.

Moreover, the current stars don't earn much. Only in the 1980s, Hong Kong films developed explosively. At that time, star actors were really making money every day.

Zhao Yazhi is very popular, but she is just a long-term contracted actor of TVB. She usually gets a fixed salary for filming TV series, not the salary for a single TV series. Of course, Zhao Yazhi's contract is about to expire. With her current reputation, she is likely to change her contract in the future, or a short-term contract with a high salary.

But now, this 300,000 is estimated to be all Zhao Yazhi's savings!

Kang Jianfei looked at Zhao Yazhi in surprise, thinking that this woman wouldn't really fall in love with me, but her IQ turned into a negative number, so she took all her money and made a movie for me.

Zhao Yazhi was uncomfortable with Kang Jianfei's eyes, and explained to him with a blushing face: "I just saw your script and thought your movie was very good, so I decided to help you. Don't think too much, I'm giving you money for box office dividends."

"Just take your money honestly. If I lose this movie, I'll let you support me in the future." Kang Jianfei suddenly laughed happily.

Before Kang Jianfei crossed over, there were many women, but he spent money on women, and never a woman was willing to pay for him sincerely. Kang Jianfei decided to soak in Zhao Yazhi before, just because he coveted her beauty, but now Kang Jianfei is agitated and really wants to hold Zhao Yazhi in his arms and love him.

Cao, after two lifetimes, there is actually a woman who has a real love for Lao Tzu!

Kang Jianfei, who is accustomed to seeing the world, is actually a little flirtatious, as if he is dreaming now, as if he is experiencing his first love.

"Director, which way is the door better?" A field worker suddenly asked, finally giving back Kang Jianfei's soul.

Kang Jianfei asked the two field workers to stand at the door with the help of the broken door, and then kicked in, the broken door fell to the ground with a "bang", and said with a smile: "It's more natural to fall down like this, and then put some dust on it, over there. Get some cobwebs in the corners of the statues..."

After the scene was set up, Kang Jianfei directed the placement of cameras and lighting equipment. Then Hu Juncai, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, walked in step by step and hung a rope on the beam to hang himself.

White light flickered in the broken temple, but the lighting engineer was imitating lightning.

"Boom!"

Zhong Yuan and another person shook cardboards of different thicknesses, and there were bursts of thunder in the room immediately.

It turns out that Zhong Yuan is not only a recording engineer, but also a skilled animation engineer (sound engineer).

Motion effects belong to the category of film recording and refer to the sound effects of various actions, also known as onomatopoeia. For example, the vivid sounds in the movie, such as galloping horses, thunder and rain, punching and kicking, and dinosaur roars, are all made by animation artists.

Thirty years later, with the continuous development of computer technology, these sound effects can be edited and pasted directly on the audio track with the computer. Few people have devoted themselves to the field of motion effects, so that the animation artists are faced with the embarrassing situation of losing the technology. .

How many people know that the sound of fractures in traditional martial arts films was created by the animation artist using a piece of celery?

"Crack!"

Kang Jianfei shouted, his face full of smiles. Perhaps it was the reason for Li Wei before. The current situation of the crew makes him very satisfied, and everyone is very enthusiastic about their work.

The scene was changed to Hong Kong in 1979. Several boys and girls from a high school entered the ruined temple to avoid the rain and took away the ropes with the ghosts of scholars.

What is about to be filmed is the scene of these students in the ruined temple. Among them, the female No. 1 and female No. 2 will be played by Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia respectively. As for the role of Yan Ruyu, the female No. 3, it is Kang Jianfei who is looking for him in Tiaojingling Middle School. A girl named Li Shan.

The male lead, the happy ghost, Lin Xiu, was played by Hu Juncai. The male lead who caught Wen Bixia was played by Kang Jianfei himself. The other male and female students were recommended by Teacher Qin. Mr. Qin is in charge of the annual celebration activities of Tiaojingling Middle School. He is very clear about which students are suitable for acting, which saves Kang Jianfei a lot of effort in selecting actors.

Cousin Wu Ruiqing also wanted to appear, but Wu Chenggang scolded him back with a few words. He is probably depressed at home now.

Right now it's a group show of five men and five women. In fact, Kang Jianfei, Li Saifeng, Wen Bixia, and Li Shan have more lines, and the others are just doing their movements and expressions.

After Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia got the script a few days ago, they were both practicing and rehearsing, and they performed very well in private. However, it may be the reason why they are nervous in the face of the camera. The two of them forgot the words in a row for an easy line. It was the girl named Li Shan, whose acting skills were not much worse than professional actors. Unfortunately, she was too short and her appearance was ordinary, so she was destined to not be the number one female.

Kang Jianfei knew that he couldn't curse at this time. After all, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia were both newcomers, and the more they cursed, the more nervous they became.

Calling the two little girls aside by themselves, Kang Jianfei comforted and encouraged: "Don't be too nervous, just treat it like you usually rehearse. You are actually very good, and you have the potential to be good actors." Li said, "Xiaxia, think about what your home used to be like. You can only live the life you want if you do your tricks well. And Ah Feng, don't you want to be the second Lin Qingxia? What is the point of the scene, if the filming is good, "Happy Ghost" will be sold to Taiwan and released, and your former classmates and friends will be surprised to see that you are the heroine..."

After Kang Jianfei comforted them for a while, he finally let them relax, and the filming was on track.

On closer inspection, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia's acting skills are very stiff, not as good as many extras on the Clear Water Bay studio. However, "Happy Ghost" is originally a nutritious commercial comedy film, selling jokes and young beautiful girls, as long as the acting skills are acceptable.

In addition to the time for the set and make-up, the filming of the temple-breaking scene only took three hours in total, which was considered very fast. At this rate, the whole scene would be completed in at most half a month.

Don't think about making a movie for a few months. It's a super blockbuster. Hong Kong movies have always been fast. For example, "9413" directed and acted by Wu Zhenyu, it only took 10 days from the start to the later stage to the release...

After filming the scene of the broken temple, the crew immediately set off to a beach near Qingshui Bay to continue filming the scene where the students were camping, taking advantage of the fact that it was not dark, and there would be night scenes after dark.

It was already the end of November, and the temperature in Hong Kong was around 20 degrees during the day, and only over 10 degrees after nightfall. But including Kang Jianfei, all actors can only wear single clothes, because they are filming a summer scene.

Especially the girls Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia, they must wear one-piece swimsuits, and the beautiful girl figure under the swimsuit is also one of the selling points of this film.

Several little girls were shivering with cold, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com had to pretend to be very cheerful, running and playing on the beach, and finally splashed seawater in the water, soaking their whole bodies.

Every ten minutes, Kang Jianfei called a stop, and then the field worker rushed over immediately, wrapped thick coats around the girls, and served hot **** soup.

In the evening, everyone went back to the Clear Water Bay studio for dinner, leaving only two workers on the beach to guard the equipment. After eating, they came back to work immediately.

Night scenes are a test of lighting engineers, and Wu Chenggang finally had the time to play.

Kang Jianfei wore a pair of glasses, and his hair was also combed and parted. He held a guitar as a literary student, and sang as soon as he swept the guitar:

"I'm walking on the same footsteps

It's to match your arrival

When panicking and hesitating

plz follow me

…”

The original version of "Happy Ghost" had a very small budget. Except for the theme song "Happy Ghost", all other songs in the film were ready-made, and the copyright fee was paid after the filming.

The same is true for the song "Come With Me". It was originally an episode of "Taking the Wrong Car" in 1983. Because "Taking the Wrong Car" is also a movie of Xincheng, there is no need to pay the copyright fee for the song.

As for now, the song "Please Come With Me" has become Kang Jianfei's original work.

The literary fan is still very popular these days. Kang Jianfeilu's self-composed, self-sung and self-sung song shocked some people in the crew. Especially those student actors, all of them admired Kang Jianfei, and when the filming of the night was over, they still pestered Kang Jianfei to sing.
