Dreams of the Fragrant River

Tseung Kwan O Film Studio. {starter}

In order to shoot "Once Upon a Time", the crew specially built a Baozhilin in the studio, and the person responsible for setting the scene was a veteran who had quit from Shaw Brothers.

After DreamWorks was banned by the Taiwan authorities, although other film companies in Hong Kong did not dare to cooperate with DreamWorks in the open, they had more private exchanges.

For example, the Antique Street in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, like Qiu Degen’s Songcheng, has become the first choice for Hong Kong directors to film costume dramas. Now the newly built Baozhilin is not that kind of one-off thing. It can be kept for the sequel to "Once Upon a Time" and leased to other film companies for filming.

Li Lianjie was sitting in the main room in a suit. Liang Kuan, played by Mo Shaocong, raised the tea bowl and said with a smile, "Please drink tea, Master!"

"Yeah." Li Lianjie nodded, took the tea bowl and immersed himself in it.

"Crack! This one is over, next shot!" Kang Jianfei, who was sitting behind the viewfinder, shouted.

"This way, this way!" Chen Xunqi instructed the field attendant to bring the antique camera over, and then said to Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a Western pleated skirt, "Miss Guan, stand here."

On the other end of the camera, Huang Feihong, played by Li Lianjie, is sitting on the Taishi chair, with Liang Kuan's apprentices standing behind him.

After Kang Jianfei and the director of photography negotiated the location, the board held by Wu Ruiqing was laid down.

"Once Upon a Time, Scene 4, Scene 37, Akesh!"

Without any lines, Guan Zhilin, who was standing behind the antique camera, adjusted the focus, and then ran towards Li Lianjie and the others with a western skirt.

Huang Yuetai held the camera in his hand, and moved the camera with Guan Zhilin's running as steady as Mount Tai.

"Crack. Next!"

"A Cong, when you look at Guan Zhilin in a while, your eyes and expressions will be a little more ghostly."

"Ake, when Mo Shaocong ran past you, be careful not to be too pretentious."

"..."

"Once Upon a Time, Scene 5, Scene 37, Aikesh!"

The young actor hired by the crew pressed the shutter of the antique camera, and Mo Shaocong forcibly squeezed in the direction of Guan Zhilin at the moment when a group of magnesium lights flashed. It messed up everyone's original photo poses.

"Crack, I announce that "Once Upon a Time" is officially finished!"

As Kang Jianfei's voice fell, all the crew members cheered.

After the cheers, the actors began to remove their makeup and change their clothes, and everyone in the field management team was busy again.

Kang Jianfei sat on the director's chair and waited for Guan Zhilin to change clothes and go home. A little fat man deliberately walked around Kang Jianfei with a prop, and suddenly said in Mandarin, "Hello, Mr. Kang!"

At this time, there is little difference between the standard Mandarin accents in mainland China and Taiwan. Kang Jianfei raised his eyes and asked, "From the mainland?"

"Yeah, I'm from Tianjin/Tianjin, and you came to Hong Kong in the same year as Mr. Kang." Little Fatty said cheerfully.

Kang Jianfei did not recognize who this person was. He just nodded and encouraged: "Well. Work hard, and sooner or later you will be able to succeed."

"Mr. Kang, I will try my best," the little fat man smiled, but instead of walking, he continued to speak. "Actually, I am very good at acting. When I was doing business in the drama "Once Upon a Time", I also acted as a corpse twice and a passerby once."

Kang Jianfei understood what he meant and asked, "Do you want to be an actor?"

"Yes, I hope Mr. Kang can give him a chance." The little fat man said with a smile. In fact, when he was filming "Once Upon a Time", he had already approached Kang Jianfei several times for excuses. But never had a chance to speak.

Kang Jianfei is not a bodhisattva who responds to requests. He said encouragingly: "It's not easy for mainlanders to get along in Hong Kong. You should do your own job first, and you will have the opportunity to become an actor in the future."

The little fat man wanted to say more, but he was suddenly spotted by the head of the field management team, and shouted, "Lin Xue, you are lazy and slippery again, and you can't even move things!"

"Come on!" The little fat man responded, holding the props and running away.

When Kang Jianfei heard the man calling Lin Xue's name, he suddenly remembered who this little fat man was, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Guan Zhilin, who had changed into a Western pleated skirt, suddenly appeared behind Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei stood up, took her hand and said, "It's nothing, I met a compatriot from the mainland."

Li Lianjie also changed his clothes and walked over and said, "Mr. Kang is talking about that Lin Xue."

Kang Jianfei asked with a smile, "He also looked for you?"

"Yeah, they gave me water a few times," said Li Lianjie, "This kid arrived in Hong Kong when he was 15 years old. He worked as an apprentice in a furniture store, and later worked as a porter for a period of time. He only entered the dream last year. Factory chores."

"The people are quite clever." Kang Jianfei commented. He was able to take the initiative to contact Li Lianjie and Kang Jianfei in the crew by taking advantage of his identity as a fellow from the mainland. It must be said that this Lin Xue's head is still very bright. Although there is no substantial gain, at least now Kang Jianfei and Li Lianjie have remembered such a person, and they may ask him to film whenever they have a chance.

Guan Zhilin and Li Lianjie were quite familiar with each other, but she didn't want him to disturb the two worlds, so she deliberately asked, "Ajie, I want to go to dinner with Brother Fei, do you want to go with me?"

Li Lianjie is very observant, so he smiled and said, "No, I have an appointment tonight too."

Kang Jianfei called Chen Xunqi again and instructed: "Xunqi, the finishing work of the crew will be handed over to you, and the editing will be handed over to Mai Zishan."

Chen Xunqi nodded and said, "I'll get it done."

Kang Jianfei asked casually, "Have you thought about your film studio venture yet?"

Chen Xunqi said with a wry smile, "I can't find a suitable script, so I want to make the entrepreneurial film more classic."

From a certain point of view, Chen Xunqi is also a perfectionist.

Kang Jianfei scratched his head and said, "How about I send you a story?"

"Okay." Chen Xunqi said with a smile, he wanted to hear what good stories Kang Jianfei could make up this time.

Kang Jianfei, who was about to leave, dragged the director's chair over and sat down again. When Li Lianjie and others heard that Kang Jianfei was going to tell a story on the spot, they all gathered to listen.

"The story is called "The Wounded City." It happened on Christmas Eve in Hong Kong in 1980.

Homicide detective Qiu Jianbang arrested a serial **** and murderer. He returned home on Christmas morning to find that he had committed suicide in bed. It was his girlfriend.

After the autopsy, Qiu Jianbang found out that she had just had an abortion.

After that, Qiu Jianbang changed his career as a private detective for three years, and at the same time he became an alcoholic.

In 1983, Qiu Jianbang's best friend. The best opponent on the table tennis table and the most trusted supervisor, Chief Inspector of the Homicide Division, Liu Zhengxi, murdered the father of his wife Zhou Shuzhen, the invisible rich Zhou Yuansheng.

Having been the leader of the homicide group for many years, the design of this murder was of course seamless. Every piece of evidence that Liu Zhengxi deliberately left points the finger at the two unemployed homeless Chen Weiqiang and Huang Ming. A week after the incident, Chen Weiqiang and Huang Ming were buried in a Sai Kung village house...

Emotional mistakes made the case take a turn for the worse. When Qiu Jianbang discovered the identity of the murderer, he knew that the truth was hidden in the truth. Liu Zhengxi and Chen Weiqiang were inextricably linked.

When Qiu Jianbang told the truth to Liu Zhengxi, Liu Zhengxi made another killing. It unfolds again - he kills himself.

The story is always under the hazy sky, maybe this is the hurt city of Liu Zhengxi's inner world, he once lost everything. Including identity. But when he took revenge, he found that he had lost his favorite, and what he had lost had never come back, but now he has let himself lose his last happiness - a wife who loves him, he can only leave, Go to another world with your wife. restart.

In fact, the real sad city is not in reality, but in our hearts, only when the heart bids farewell to the sad city will we leave this sad city forever! "

Kang Jianfei's story was told very slowly, taking more than ten minutes to finish.

It doesn't make much sense to someone. After all, a suspenseful thriller story told by Kang Jianfei in line drawing has lost its greatest appeal.

Chen Xunqi thought for a while. Pointing directly to the key point, he said, "Using the technique of a literary film to make a murder suspense drama?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said with a smile, "It's better to have a little more kid flavor."

Chen Xunqi touched the beard on his mouth and said, "After you say that, it seems a little tricky."

"You can figure it out for yourself, I'll ask someone to give you the complete story later." Kang Jianfei walked out of the studio with Guan Zhilin after he finished speaking.

To be honest, from a certain point of view, the plot of "Scarred City" is very weak, but it is very suitable for the ever-changing director Chen Xunqi. To make a murder mystery film into a literary film with a petty bourgeoisie flavor, Chen Xunqi can definitely do it, and he can make a different effect from the original.

As for how much box office it can get, Kang Jianfei is not very clear, anyway, it is worth a try.

After getting in the car, Kang Jianfei sat in the back seat with his arms around Guan Zhilin to rest, and Zeng Bolin in front reported on his work today: "The first phase of "The Metamorphosis" co-produced by Phoenix TV, CCTV and Canton/Dong TV has basically been completed, and the TV station Over there, ask the program planning column, do you want to add your name to the boss?"

"No, I don't need to compete with them for a name." Kang Jianfei said with his eyes closed.

Zeng Bolin added: "At the beginning of June, it was the Golden Rooster Awards in Mainland China. Since this year is the 80th anniversary of the birth of Chinese films, the awards ceremony was quite grand. An invitation letter was sent from there saying that you would be invited to attend."

Kang Jianfei asked, "Is Shao Yifu going?"

Zeng Bolin said: "The Golden Rooster Award should also be invited by Shao Yifu, but I don't know if he will attend."

"Just set aside one day~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Please help me arrange it." Kang Jianfei said.

Zeng Bolin looked at the notebook and said, "Shueisha in Japan will not let go. It insists on changing the "Crayon Shin-chan" released in Japan to a Japanese surname and place name. Because "Crayon Shin-chan" was planned by the boss, Dark Horse Comics Company Not sure, ask if you want to make concessions in this regard?"

"What to change? If you don't want to buy it, get out. I didn't invite them here." Kang Jianfei said disdainfully.

Zeng Bolin added: "By the way, there is an animation company in Japan who said that they want to make "Crayon Shin-chan" an animation, and they also promised to help contact Shogakukan to distribute manga in Japan."

"Don't worry about that animation company, the people from Xiao Xueguan come and talk about the distribution slowly." Kang Jianfei said.

Zeng Bolin finally said: "The gambling king He Hongsen is coming to Hong Kong next week and said he would invite you to a family dinner."

"What? He Hongsen!" Kang Jianfei suddenly opened his eyes in shock, thinking that he had raped someone else's daughter.
