Dreams of the Fragrant River

When Kang Jianfei came to film this time, officials from Shaozhou City and Renhua County were more enthusiastic, because the tourism company under Kang Jianfei's name had already reached a cooperation agreement with the local government department.

Hu Juncai has spent the past few years in the mainland for nothing. Under his management, movie theaters and department stores have opened in major cities across the country, and tourism companies have also developed Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain. And this guy is also the son-in-law of the Ye family. This sign shows up and can be eaten all over the country, but he has concealed it very deeply and has not yet publicized it.

Just last month, Hu Juncai lived in Shaozhou for about ten days. He took a look at the local natural and cultural landscapes, including Danxia Mountain. Finally, he talked to local officials, scholars, and the staff of the tourism company. After discussion, a detailed tourism development plan was formulated.

Not only the development of Danxia Mountain, but also more than ten cultural relics such as Nanhua Temple, where the Sixth Patriarch propagated Dharma, and Meiling Ancient Road, the most well-protected ancient post road in the country. Celebrities such as Zhang Jiuling, Han Yu, and Su Dongpo have written poems here, and veterans such as Mao Taizu, Mr. Zhu, Deng Gong, and Peng Shuai have all fought here. There are so many celebrity resources that can be used.

The Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company, which was originally established, was renamed Taikang International Tourism Company when Hu Juncai developed Wudang Mountain. Kang Jianfei is still the company's largest shareholder, Hu Juncai holds 30% of the shares, and the remaining 19% is distributed to the company's top management as dry shares.

Taikang International Tourism Company finalized the plan is to invest 88 million yuan to develop a complete tourist route in Shaozhou.

Putting 88 million yuan in a prefecture-level city in the late 1980s was definitely a huge sum of money. Travel companies can't come up with so much money, and some of them are borrowed from department stores.

When Kang Jianfei came to Shaozhou again, many places were surveying and planning. It will be used to build roads or build hotels in the future.

The local government has also made a lot of money, digging out money from the tight finances to build various infrastructures, and is ready to roll up its sleeves and work hard.

"Kang, this place is so beautiful!" Stan Winston stood among the Danxia mountains, completely shocked by the beauty here.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "There are so many beautiful scenery in China, you can walk more when you have time."

Stan Winston said: "I will, I have had a great time working in Hong Kong for the past two months. The Chinese are very easy to get along with."

Kang Jianfei took Stan Winston to a valley, pointed down and said, "The model of Hydra Cypress is assembled and buried here, and the cliffs should be covered with rattan."

Stan Winston pulls out the renderings. Looking around based on the situation in the valley, I estimated, "It will take at least a week."

Kang Jianfei said: "No problem, I'm shooting outside now. You have about 20 days to complete it slowly."

Filming in this poor mountain backcountry. Lots of broken things. Just eating is the problem.

Fortunately, the China Film Co., Ltd. and the local government are very meticulous. All kinds of vegetables and fruits are transported by water. The chef of the city hotel built an open-air stove in the mountains. As long as it is necessary to have a meal in the wild, the chef can be busy with the meals of the entire crew, and even have a late night snack when filming a night scene.

The crew started work on the day they arrived at Danxia Mountain. The special effects team and the scenery team began to work in the valley, while Kang Jianfei set up a camera outside the valley.

To be precise, I started shooting on the way out of the county hotel.

Everyone took the suburban county bus. In addition to the actors from Hong Kong, there were a dozen or so local troupe actors sitting in the car. The actors of the drama troupe are naturally all about playing tricks. They sat on their seats in home-clothed clothes, some chatting, some dozing off, and some carrying vegetables and turkey.

After the bus has gone for a while, this scene is over, and then there are a few scenes of the main actors riding on a walking tractor and an ox cart.

The old man driving the ox cart is not a local, but an actor transferred from the Shandong Film Studio by a Chinese film production company. Zhangkou is the standard Shan/Dong dialect.

Because the first story of "Notes on Tomb Raiders" is about King Lu's cemetery, which happened in the Yimeng Mountains, the locals must speak Shandong dialect. This time, a total of 6 actors were seconded from Shandong.

The remuneration of these 6 actors is very cheap, plus room and board and round-trip transportation costs, each person has an average of two or three scenes, and the total cost is less than 1,000 yuan after filming.

As for why the Shan/Dongyimeng Mountain area was filmed in Canton/Dongdanxia Mountain, that can only be explained by fate. If you insist that there is no Danxia landform in Yimeng Mountain, it does not conform to the common sense of geography, then there is really no way.

Several leading actors were walking slowly on the bullock cart, and the crew in front brought a dirt dog over.

The third uncle, played by Zeng Jiang, jumped out of the car first, patted the Shandong veteran actor on the shoulder and said, "Sir, we came all the way by tractor and ox cart. Will we ride this dog next?"

Although Zeng Jiang’s ancestral home was in Guangdong, there was a time when Hong Kong movies had to be in Mandarin, so the actors who came over at that time would speak a little Mandarin more or less. Zeng Jiang not only speaks Mandarin, but also has a bit of Beijing flavor in his Mandarin, which he learned from a Peking Opera actor from Beijing.

In order to make the film feel real, Kang Jianfei decided not to re-dub the film in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The actors spoke Cantonese when they were in Hong Kong, and the "local" actors spoke Shan/Eastern dialect when they were in Danxia Mountain. Finally, they had to go to the capital to shoot a few more scenes. , Zeng Jiang's third uncle speaks Mandarin with a lame Beijing flavor from start to finish.

"How can a dog ride? The next journey will have to take a boat. That dog is used to report letters. It will bring the boat over." Talk to life in general.

Zeng Jiang glanced at the dog and asked, "This dog can swim?"

"It's a good swim," the old actor tapped the dog's head with a cigarette stick, "Donkey Dandan, go swim for the guests to see."

The dog was disobedient, and was knocked by the old actor with a cigarette stick, and jumped away with its tail between its tail. For the rest of the scene, the dog's owner can only call it to run in front of the dog, and the water-like scene simply throws the dog into the river.

The sky was about to get dark, and everyone was busy for a long time. Only the tomb robbers were photographed preparing to take a boat into the corpse cave. The last shot was a close-up of the old actor Nashan Dong. There was a simple and honest smile on the wrinkled face, but after a closer look, it slowly turned into a sinister smile, and there was also a viciousness in his eyes.

"Crack! Today's show is here." Kang Jianfei walked over to shake hands with the old actor, and said in admiration, "Uncle, your gloomy smile and eyes just now are absolutely perfect."

Zeng Jiang is also a veteran who has been filming for 20 to 30 years. At this time, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said to the old actor, "It's really amazing. I'm under a lot of pressure to play against my brother."

The old actor smiled embarrassedly: "Well, I've played the bad guy for half my life, either a Japanese devil, a traitor of the Kuomintang Party, or a traitor and a bad landlord. This kind of smirk and vicious eyes, long ago I've played it countless times, and I can do it when I'm asleep."

Kang Jian scattered him a cigarette and asked, "Your old name?"

The old actor waved his hand and said, "It's not expensive. My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Yuemin. You can just call me Lao Qin."

Kang Jianfei had never heard of the name, so he quietly asked the people from the China Film Co., Ltd., and they didn't know either. They only knew that he was an actor recommended by Shan/Dong Film Studio. supporting role.

Today, we don’t need to shoot night scenes, so we finished work in the evening. When we went back, everyone took a boat to the county seat, because there was still a long mountain road to go by land.

In addition to the set, special effects team and various equipment, the entire crew was staggeringly filled with more than 30 boats, lined up in a long dragon floating on the river.

The fleet was moved by manpower, and before returning to the county, night fell on the way. The bright moon in the sky is reflected in the river water, the river breeze is coming, the water waves are slightly rippling, and the sounds of birds and insects can be heard from time to time on both sides, which is full of the natural interest of the mountains.

On this quiet and peaceful moonlit night rafting on the river, whether it is an actor from Hong Kong or an employee from the capital, they all experience a sense of fantasy that is different from that of a big city.

"If only I could have a bonfire party by the river now." Wu Zhenyu said to Lin Xue who was sitting next to him.

Lin Xue has been working hard to gain weight all this time, and now he weighs more than 160 pounds. He held the swaying side of the boat a little uneasily, and said, "I can't swim, the boat is shaking quite badly, what if it overturned? manage?"

Cheng Kuian smiled and said, "I'll get you up after I flip it over."

Zhang Yan rested his elbows on his thighs, dragged his cheeks with his palms, and tilted his head to look at the moon in the water. At this time, it was her first time to go out to shoot a location. Except for Zeng Jiang and the old actor Qin Yuemin during the day, they only need to show their faces~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They don't even need to say their lines, so it is very easy to Spent.

Now that she is surrounded by such a leisurely beauty, Zhang Dan quite enjoys the life of shooting on location. She was very tired of filming in the studio of the film and television city some time ago.

Qin Yuemin The old man Qin sat with Zeng Jiang at this time, and he said with emotion: "It's still your Hong Kong counterparts who are so arrogant in filming. How much does it cost to come and go for this exterior scene? It's more convenient to set the scene directly indoors."

Zeng Jiang said with a smile: "Hong Kong used to be an indoor set, but not many people have watched that kind of drama. The audience likes to watch the live-action drama. I will write a call to you when I get back to the hotel. I'll make a call."

"I'm afraid I don't have that fortune anymore. Even at my age, it is thanks to your crew that I came to Guangzhou." Qin Yuemin laughed.

Zhang Dan looked at Kang Jianfei at the stern of the boat, but saw that he was talking with the camera crew about something, most likely they were discussing tomorrow's camera positions and shots.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the fleet finally docked. Zhang Dan consciously or unintentionally slowed down, and when Kang Jianfei got off the boat, she followed and stayed half a meter behind Kang Jianfei. (To be continued..) u()
