Dreams of the Fragrant River

Just when Kang Jianfei took the crew to Japan to shoot, Hong Kong's summer season ushered in a new round of box office battles.

This time, Baoxiang Films and Xinbao Cinemas won. Hong Jinbao's self-directed and starred "Fat Dragon Detective" took the lead and won the weekly box office championship for two consecutive weeks, and finally won the local box office of 30.28 million.

"Shuanglonghui" produced by DreamWorks ranked second. This film, which was directed by Xu Ke, Zhou Runfa and Li Lianjie, and brought Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia to make vases, can be described as a big cast in terms of cast. Unfortunately, it only got 25.03 million box office in the end. The total remuneration of the four leading actors is nearly 10 million, plus Xu Ke's director's remuneration and production costs, "Shuanglonghui" can only rely on overseas box office to make money.

As for the "Flying Eagle Project" directed and acted by Golden Harvest Investment and Cheng Long, they are all lying in the Moroccan hospital from the director to the production site. They all ate their stomachs.

Japan, Okayama Prefecture.

More than a dozen Japanese traffic police stood at both ends of the Seto Bridge, placing warning signs to restrict the passage of vehicles, while cameras and lighting groups were quickly erected on the bridge deck.

A Japanese man in a suit took a walkie-talkie and said a few words, then walked up to Kang Jianfei and said, "Mr. Kang, after the bridge is completely closed to traffic, you only have 20 minutes to shoot, which is the maximum we strive for. ."

"Thank you very much for Mr. Ikeda's help." Kang Jianfei thanked him.

The place where the crew of "The Truman World" is now located is the cross-sea high-speed bridge connecting Shikoku and Honshu in Japan. It is also the largest cross-sea bridge in the world. The construction period lasted nine years, and it was not completed until the year before last.

A scene that Kang Jianfei is about to shoot is about Truman taking his wife to escape from Taoyuan Island. Afraid of the water, he drove the car with his eyes closed, and then made a thrilling ride across the bridge.

During filming, except for the hero and heroine's car. No other car can appear on the bridge, so the police must cooperate to clear the scene.

But this bridge is the only way from Honshu to Shikoku. The traffic was so heavy that Kang Jianfei donated a lot of money, and finally only got the right to shoot for 20 minutes in the morning when there were relatively few vehicles.

Of course, before these 20 minutes, Kang Jianfei still had some time to prepare. At this time, the job of the traffic police is to restrict single-lane traffic in some sections of the road, and the rest of the lane space is for Kang Jianfei to arrange the shooting scene.

In the first filming, the stuntman drove the vehicle. After hearing the "ok" sound from the walkie-talkie, stunt director Luo Lixian said to Kang Jianfei, "Director. The stunt team is ready."

"Then get ready to shoot, hurry up and do it once!" Kang Jianfei gave the order in a deep voice. If there is any mistake, he can only shoot again tomorrow morning.

At the same time, the Japanese traffic police began to completely block the traffic on the bridge, and it was tentatively scheduled to resume after 20 minutes.

"The Truman Story" 23 scenes, 2 scenes, 1 time, Aikesh!"

Kang Jianfei just stood behind the monitor and watched, and the specific command was in charge of the stunt director Luo Lixian. The gang of Luo Lixian's men can drive up and down from a 45-degree steep **** like a game. The simple S-turns on the highway are just a trick.

From start to finish. It took less than 3 minutes in total to get it done, and then the stuntman immediately came down and replaced Liang Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong to sit on.

This time, there are lines. The photography also turned into shooting in the car. After the two argued a few words, Liang Jiahui started the car with a crazy laugh and closed his eyes at the same time. Zhong Chuhong hurriedly controlled the steering wheel.

"Crack! ok!"

Kang Jianfei breathed a long sigh of relief. In fact, this scene was not finished, but it was not necessary to use precious time to shoot all the in-car scenes on the Seto Bridge. It was enough to shoot on an ordinary highway and then edit it.

Two shots, plus prep time in between. As well as the evacuation after filming, it took a total of 18 minutes.

After filming the high-speed bridge scene. Kang Jianfei immediately took the crew back to Hong Kong for reshoots, including the farce scene after crossing the bridge.

September 21. Kang Jianfei set off for the north and went to Beijing to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. By the way, he learned about the situation of Feizhi Film and Television Advertising Company.

On the mainland, preparations for the Asian Games are in full swing, but Hong Kong has been plagued by disasters recently.

First, there was a fire in the Watsons Industrial Building, and then there was a gas explosion in Sha Tin. These were just accidents, and there was nothing to do with the casualties.

Then someone set fire to a clubhouse in Hung Hom with electric oil and incendiary bombs, causing 6 deaths and 23 injuries. Although the police did not announce the cause of the incident, there was a lot of rumors in the public that the arson case was caused by a gang/social vendetta.

A few days after the vicious arson case, Li Junxia, ​​director of the Hong Kong Police Service, was robbed again at his apartment.

That is the Commissioner of Hong Kong Police, the boss of all police officers in Hong Kong, and the first Chinese Police Commissioner in Hong Kong, who was robbed in his apartment!

Five days after the police chief Li Junxia was robbed, the Happy Valley police station was attacked with petrol bombs. Fortunately, no one was injured.

After contacting the two cases before and after, anyone with a little brains can guess that someone is daring and deliberately targeting the Hong Kong police. As for the motive for the crime, some people say that the club is retaliating against the police's severe crackdown some time ago, and some people say that the police detained the white goods of a certain boss. Anyway, there are rumors of chaos.

The bosses of the police department were completely angry and ordered the whole city to carry out an anti-crime operation. But the little police officers below are in vain. No one wants to go home at night and be stabbed with a black knife, let alone drink tea in the police station one day, and be set on fire.

As a result, this police action was destined to have only loud thunder and little rain. Since then, the Hong Kong community has become even more arrogant, and even the young and the gangsters do not take the police seriously.

When Kang Jianfei heard about this series of events in Beijing, he could only be glad that he had a good relationship with the major associations. If his face is really torn, his company will be set on fire every three or five times, and the economic loss alone will make him hurt for a long time.

Hong Kong Airport.

Not long after Kang Jianfei sat in the dedicated waiting room, he saw a group of people approaching. The old man at the head was short and his forehead was shiny, but his eyes were very firm and calm.

"Mr. Huo, hello!" Kang Jianfei took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with him.

"Hello, hello. Mr. Kang is young and promising. I have long wanted to be handsome." Huo Daheng laughed.

In fact, Kang Jianfei and Huo Yingdong met several times before, but they were only in public. The two did not sit down and communicate individually. This time they were invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games at the same time, and the flight was also arranged by the mainland side. So they happened to be on the same plane.

Both are pro-China people and naturally have many languages ​​in common. They all kept silent about last year's sports, and instead talked about investing and donating money in the mainland.

"I heard that Mr. Kang donates money to education in the mainland every year?" Huo Yingdong asked casually.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's still far from Mr. Huo."

"Donation doesn't matter how much, it's just based on your heart," Huo Yingdong waved his hand, "but you donate directly to the local education department. I think this kind of donation is inefficient. It's better to donate to my education foundation."

Huo Yingdong is far less famous in China than Shao Yifu. But he donated no less than Mr. Shao. The sports cause often donates tens of millions to hundreds of millions. He donated 200 million to the construction of the Light Water Cube. In addition, he also donated a lot of money to build bridges and pave roads. The most formal one is the Huo Yingdong Education Foundation, which has accumulated more than 700 million educational donations. It has also established the Peihua Education Fund with other pro-China entrepreneurs. This fund is dedicated to helping the mainland cultivate economic management and minority areas. management talent.

The meaning of Huo Yingdong's words is very clear, that is to say, donate directly to the government departments in the Mainland. No one knows where the money goes, and his Huo Yingdong Education Foundation has a clear account. He hopes Kang Jianfei will donate the money to the foundation in the future. . It can better support education in mainland China.

A person like Kang Jianfei, who has no pursuit in life, would not care where the money he donates goes to. His donation is just for fame and fortune. On the one hand, he gained his prestige, and on the other hand, he established a good relationship with local government agencies. If he really donated the money to Huo Yingdong's education fund without a word, who would know that Kang Jianfei had spilled the money, and the local government would have nothing to do with it.

However, Huo Yingdong couldn't help but give his face, Kang Jianfei immediately agreed with a smile. As for donations in the future, a small part will be donated to the foundation, and most of them will be donated directly to the government departments in the mainland.

Huo Yingdong also saw something about Kang Jianfei's careful thinking. No longer talking about donations, he changed the subject and said, "That's right. Mr. Kang..."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "No, Mr. Huo, you can call me Xiaokang."

"This name has a lucky head. It has a good meaning. Then I will call you Mr. Xiaokang," Huo Yingdong asked with a smile, "Mr. Xiaokang, do you like any sports?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, I like martial arts fighting."

"What about football?" Huo Yingdong's eyes were filled with hope.

Kang Jianfei remembered the rumors about Huo Yingdong and couldn't help but be amused. The old fan was going to drag him into the pit to play football.

Kang Jianfei said half-truthfully, "Occasionally watch the game."

Huo Yingdong became more positive after hearing this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ said: "Your company doesn't have a football team yet, how about you form a DreamWorks team? It doesn't matter if you can't get into the Hong Kong League One, you can get a star team. Playing the exhibition match of the Provincial-Hong Kong Cup."

Kang Jianfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Huo Yingdong in front of him still looked like a shopping mall elite. He was a funny old kid playing games. Huo Yingdong initiated the famous Provincial-Hong Kong Cup football match. In addition, he also invested in the construction of a sports museum and a Chinese Wushu Academy. He even has a chess foundation that promotes Chinese chess. He is an uncompromising sports fan.

"It doesn't matter if I set up a company football team, but I can start a star football team, not only the stars under the Oriental Group, but all Hong Kong stars who like football can join. You can play in the league," Kang Jianfei agreed, thinking about bringing in those stars, Zeng Zhiwei, Alan Tam, and Hong Jinbao are all football fans.

Huo Yingdong said happily: "That's great. The star team joining the league will definitely increase the attention of the game."

Well, there are not many people watching the broken football league in Hong Kong. Huo Yingdong is also very worried about this, and he pulls people into the pit to play football. (To be continued)
