Dreams of the Fragrant River

"The Wia team will check the equipment again. {Starting}"

"The lighting team will pay attention to the changes for a while."

"Wait for Unit 3 to follow up, Unit 4 is for standby, watch my gestures."

"Rong Zai, when you are flying, you should be a little panicked, but don't show too much fear..."

"The 5th shooting of the 4th shot of the 11th scene of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Akesh!"

"rise!"

The staff roared in a muffled voice, and Ning Caichen, a scholar played by Zhang Guorong, hung on the wire, and the female ghost Xiaoqing played by Lu Xiuling also hung on Weiya and chased after him.

A camera moved with Lu Xiuling, when Yan Chixia, played by Huang Shrimp, suddenly flew over from the other side and entered the mirror, slashing at Lu Xiuling with a sword in the sky.

"Crack! This one is over!"

The sweaty yellow shrimp was put down from the air. He had just slapped this one five times before and after, and now that he had taken the picture, he felt much more relaxed.

Compared with the original Time and Space, this version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Kang Jianfei has not only major changes in special effects, but also the actors have basically changed.

In the original work, Yan Chixia was played by Wu Ma, but it is impossible for Kang Jianfei to hire Wu Ma to be the second male lead for the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Not coming.

Wu Ma is a prominent figure in Hong's class. He can not only act, play, but also direct. A few years ago, he personally directed a film about Bao He's work. In addition, Lin Zhengying is the same. In the past few years, he has become the core of Hong's class. Basically, all of Hong Jinbao's movies are made by Lin Zhengying.

Kang Jianfei couldn't poach these two people, and even if they did, there would be no suitable positions for them, except that Kang Jianfei kicked the old people of the Kang family class away to make room for them, but if they did that, what would the other old staff of the Kang family class think? ?

Moreover, the action styles of Wu Ma, Lin Zhengying and Kang Jiaban are also different.

Since the establishment of Kangjiaban for several years, under the guidance of Kang Jianfei, it has formed its own martial arts style, which tends to be graceful and elegant. Hong Jiaban is different. Many times the fight scenes are hard bridges and hard horses.

Now the most popular in Hong Kong are the Hong family class and the married class. When Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long were making a movie, the two martial arts teams were competing with each other, and they were not comparing who could win the action design award at the Academy Awards. It is more than a movie, which side has more injured warriors.

It would be abnormal if no one was admitted to the hospital after a movie was filmed. Now the hospital will reserve seven beds for Hong Jiaban and Chengjiaban at any time.

In addition to changing the actors of Yan Chixia and the female ghost Xiaoqing, the actor of Grandma Huaishu has also become an old drama bone Zeng Jiang, and the fiery Xiahou swordsman is played by Jet Li's friend and national martial arts champion. "Ghost Feet Seven" Xiong Xinxin starred.

Of course, the county magistrate of Guobei County still has Wang Jing and Wang Fatty as a cameo.

After one day's shooting, Kang Jianfei called Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuixian over alone. He said, "Rong Zai, Xiao Xian, we are going to film your intimate scene tomorrow, have you communicated with each other?"

Zhang Guorong thought that Kang Jianfei was worried that he would be embarrassed in making intimate scenes, and smiled calmly: "I'm fine. I'm used to this kind of scenes, it just depends on whether Xiao Xian can let go."

Since he was kissed by Kang Jianfei last time, Wang Zuixian has secretly dated Kang Jianfei several times. Although they have not yet reached the point of going to bed, their relationship has been tacitly understood.

Wang Zuixian was afraid that Kang Jianfei would be jealous, so he took the initiative to make a shy look and asked: "That. When filming intimacy scenes, can you use the wrong position to shoot? I'm afraid that a real kiss will distract you from filming."

Kang Jianfei thought so too, so he planned to give it a special order in advance. He didn't expect Wang Zuixian to be so considerate, so he smiled with satisfaction: "It's fine to shoot in a different position. The two of you will discuss and rehearse later."

Since Kang Jianfei and Wang Zuixian didn't show any difference in the crew, Zhang Guorong really didn't know the ambiguity between them, just thought it was the little girl Wang Zuixian who was shy and afraid of making intimate scenes, so she nodded and agreed immediately.

Taking advantage of Zhang Guorong's inattentiveness, Kang Jianfei quietly blinked at Wang Zuixian. The latter smiled shyly, nodded lightly, turned around and left, ran back to remove his makeup and changed his clothes, and then secretly went to the old place for a tryst.

Kang Jianfei was about to leave, and Zhang Guorong suddenly shouted, "Mr. Kang, can I ask for a day off next week?"

"Next Wednesday?" Kang Jianfei thought about the progress of the crew and asked, "What are your plans for next Wednesday?"

Zhang Guorong replied: "The third season of The Voice of China starts, and I want to be the judge's mentor."

When he heard that the TV station was recording the program, Kang Jianfei nodded cheerfully and said, "Yes, I will adjust your role when the time comes."

...

Time has passed into November, the third season of "The Voice of China" is about to start, and "Shushan" has also traveled to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival, and several new trophies are about to be added.

In the past October, Xinbao Cinemas, which has only been established for two months, began to show more new movie screenings every day. Most of these films were invested by Nanyang and Taiwan, and were made by independent directors in Hong Kong, and finally screened in Xinbao Cinemas.

In order to attract audiences to the cinema, most of these "foreign" Hong Kong films choose to invite popular Hong Kong actors as the protagonists. The artists under the Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company have once again become gunmen. Zhou Runfa received 6 in August and September. The film appointment, the schedule is all scheduled to go to the Spring Festival.

These "foreign" Hong Kong films are not expected to be released in Hong Kong during the summer, and their investors just want to make the film famous in Hong Kong. It is best to perform relatively well in the off-season of the film, and then get it to Nanyang and Taiwan to sell, and the overseas box office is the big one.

Due to the influx of overseas funds into the Hong Kong film industry, the number of Hong Kong films released in October alone has reached as many as 14, which to a certain extent has brought an impact to the films released by DreamWorks in the same period. However, the impact of this on DreamWorks, Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng was not too great. The Yindu organization and some small companies were made a bit miserable, and the average box office of the film fell by a lot.

Due to the establishment of Xinbao Cinema, the competition among major companies has become extremely fierce, and the flow of directors has become very frequent. In addition to Deng Guangrong's Da Rong Film Company, the satellite company of Jiahe, went to cooperate with Xinbao, Yuan Heping's Peace Film Company, together with the entire Yuan Jiaban, moved to Xinyi City and became the gold film company under the name of Xinyi City. Princess Satellite Company.

DreamWorks went to Wu Yusen and others, but also added several powerful characters. The new director Guan Jinpeng invested and filmed "Women's Heart" which was also released in October.

This is a long story. The director Guan Jinpeng and screenwriter Qiu Gangjian of "Women's Heart" were originally employees of Shaw Brothers. "Women's Heart" was written and prepared to shoot when they were at Shaw Brothers. As a result, before the preliminary preparations were completed, Shaw Brothers suddenly announced the suspension of production.

The two ran a lot of companies with the script. Since "Women's Heart" is a complete literary film, no company is willing to invest - including DreamWorks. At that time, Zeng Zhiwei was still the manager of the TV production department, and he was shot directly after seeing the script.

Before Century Pictures reorganized Wuzhou Century, Qiu Gangjian was the manager of the creative department of Century Pictures. The top ten films of Century Pictures that ranked in the annual box office list of Hong Kong films were all written by this person. Shang is a top talent in film planning and screenwriting.

After Liu Zhenwei joined DreamWorks a few months ago, Qiu Gangjian found him for help. The two used to be the general manager of Century Pictures and the creative manager of Century Pictures. After a few years of working happily, Liu Zhenwei immediately went to Tang Shuxuan with the report of "Women's Heart".

Tang Shuxuan was born in the filming of literary and artistic films. After reading the script, he had an interview with Qiu Gangjian and Guan Jinpeng, and finally decided to allocate money to Guan Jinpeng to direct "Women's Heart".

October is a low season for Hong Kong's box office. But this year, the competition is extremely fierce. Not only are there a large number of movies released, but the quality is also very good.

The sluggish layoffs of Xinyi City some time ago have left some people unemployed, but also created opportunities for others. Zheng Zeshi, who jumped to Xinyi City, seized the opportunity and made a good relationship with Huang Baiming. He finally had the opportunity to become a director and directed and acted in the film "Why Me", which focuses on the mentally handicapped.

In the original time and space, "Why There Is Me" was a cameo by Zhou Runfa, but here it was replaced by Huang Baiming himself. After the release, he made enough tears, and he won 7.06 million at the box office in two weeks - this is the off-season at the box office and more than a dozen movies. The results of grabbing the box office are very valuable.

And here at DreamWorks. Guan Jinpeng's directorial debut "Woman's Heart" happened to be staggered by three days from the release time of "Why There Is Me", and it was screened for 18 days and received a box office of 9.48 million.

The most funny thing is that "Dragon's Heart" starring Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long actually came to help. Fortunately, "Dragon's Heart" was selected to be released in mid-October, when "Why There Is Me" had already been released. "Women's Heart" is also about to end its screening, so there is no **** fight.

Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are worthy of the box office guarantee of Jiahe. Even if "Dragon Heart" is released in October, the box office will earn a full 20.33 million.

Regarding the rare October box office battle, "Ming Zhou" has a report on the matter: "...The Hong Kong film market is booming, and the box office in foreign cities far exceeds the domestic revenue in Hong Kong. There are people in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, South Korea and other places. They are willing to invest in Hong Kong films to earn more profits, but because the three major theater chains dominate the Hong Kong film industry, foreign capital has never been able to obtain the golden schedule of the theater chains and starring popular movie stars.

In view of this, Chen Rongmei and Mr. Feng Bingzhong decided to set up Xinbao, which is independent of the three major theater chains, to act as an "intermediary" for foreign and local independent production companies. With the release of Xinbao Cinemas, foreign investment can also be brought back to the local market to continue making profits.

This decision obviously opened the prelude to the extreme prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry. In just over two months, the production volume of Hong Kong films increased by a third in the same period last year, and many popular movie stars have also become the **** of all parties. Target. It is reported that Zhou Runfa has accepted 5 movie contracts at the same time, Alan Tam has accepted 3 movie contracts, Zheng Yuling has accepted 3 movie contracts, and Zhong Chuhong has been invited by 9 crews at the same time, and finally she only accepted 2 plays. And Liu Dehua, the head of TVB, was hidden by TVB because of too many movies.

The rising popularity of movie stars is just a manifestation of the extreme prosperity of Hong Kong films. What is more intuitive is the explosive growth of the number of films released in October. Literary films like "Why Me" and "Women's Heart" are selling at the same time, which also marks the maturity of the Hong Kong film market..."

The influx of money from South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia into Hong Kong's film scene has had more impact than the news reports say. The more investment in the film, the more film companies and the more film practitioners. In the two months from August to October, the number of film practitioners in Hong Kong increased by hundreds.

The biggest impact on DreamWorks was when the number of movies released during the same period increased and the audience had a wider choice, and the show cycle of DreamWorks' ordinary movies was shortened. Originally, a movie with a decent attendance was basically screened for about three weeks, but now it can only be screened for two weeks or two and a half weeks.

In this way, it becomes a little difficult for DreamWorks films to be sold to Oriental Cinemas for self-sufficiency. With an annual production volume of about 15 films, it is necessary to purchase 6 to 10 films to meet the screening needs of the Oriental Cinema Line.

Kang Jianfei convened DreamWorks executives to discuss it, and finally decided to keep the current production volume unchanged, producing 14 to 16 movies per year. If it increases, it will be difficult to take care of it. Not only can it not guarantee the quality, but it will also increase the investment risk and make the turnover of funds more difficult.

The film source of the Oriental Cinema Company is insufficient, and it is just to go out to buy. Anyway, independent film companies are flooded with disasters, and I don’t know how many films are waiting to find a place to release every month. Although the Oriental Cinema Company has been defined by Taiwan as a leftist cinema, there will always be companies that would rather give up the Taiwan market and cooperate with the Oriental Cinema for the smooth release of the film~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After all, with the increase of film companies, The schedules of Xinbao and Golden Princess Cinemas will also be full.

In the management of the company, after Zeng Zhiwei left, Chen Xunqi was promoted to the position of manager of the film production department, and his film studio was dissolved immediately. Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, who helped in the Chen Xunqi Film Studio, the former joined the production department as a planner, and the latter joined the screenwriting department as a full-time screenwriter.

And Qiu Gangjian, the screenwriter of "Women's Heart", is really a talent in planning and screenwriting. For example, Xu Anhua's "To the Sea of ​​Wrath" was written by him. In another time and space, Qiu Gangjian also wrote the scripts for movies such as "Ruan Lingyu", "Rouge Buckle", "Underground Love", etc. that have not yet appeared, and some of them are still planning and assistant director positions. .

However, Qiu Gangjian's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, this person can only plan and write literary and artistic films, and his ability to control commercial elements is very weak - Qiu Gangjian has been in the Taiwan film industry before joining Century Pictures.

Kang Jianfei gave Qiu Gangjian a special position, and asked him to assist Yu Ganping, in charge of planning and writing literary films, and soon threw Wang Jiawei over.
