Dreams of the Fragrant River

Welcome to Renren Novel, please remember the address of this site: , read it on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Fantasy Xiangjiang" at any time...

Xu Ke was a little surprised to hear that, because Kang Jianfei asked him to be his deputy. Obviously, this is not a simple film, just like when Kang Jianfei asked Cameron to film Jurassic Park together.

This kind of blockbuster, from the preparation to the scene, to the post-production of the film, requires an astonishing amount of work. Kang Jianfei is a "busy person", so naturally he doesn't have so much experience to deal with it all by himself, and he is not at ease to find a general director to help him, so he will find a top director as his deputy.

"Tell me, what kind of story is it?" Xu Ke asked curiously.

Although Cheng Long next to him didn't move, he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop. He is not trying to steal information about the new film, but pure curiosity.

Kang Jianfei laughed: "This story takes place in the future world. In 2020, in a bioengineering laboratory in a building in Kolkata, India, hundreds of meters of genetics and bioengineers from all over the world are conducting a scientific research, and a virus suddenly The outbreak spread rapidly, the supercomputer that controlled the laboratory went out of control, closed the building, and the virus quickly killed all the staff..."

The story Kang Jianfei tells is the adapted version of "Resident Evil".

He once imagined that "Resident Evil" would be filmed in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is too small to support a grand story background. Mainland China is a large territory, but many plots in the film are likely to cause dissatisfaction with the government, and the control of the country by big companies does not match the facts.

Continue to put the story background in the United States, then this movie is still a Hollywood blockbuster, and the cost of shooting in the United States is too high.

India is just right. There are already many Western biological companies conducting experiments in this country, treating impoverished Indian patients as cheap experimental living bodies for new drugs, which is in line with the background of the umbrella company. Moreover, India is close to Hong Kong, and the shooting cost can be controlled to the most reasonable.

From the box office point of view, India is more friendly and mysterious in the eyes of European and American audiences, and it is easier for them to accept than pure Hong Kong films. At the same time, as a British colony in Hong Kong, everyone is familiar with India Asan, and local audiences do not reject films shot in India.

As for why the film was shot in Kolkata, the reason is very simple. In India at this time, only the city of Kolkata has a subway...

After listening to the general plot, Xu Ke asked curiously, "What do zombies look like?"

Kang Jianfei said: "The action is rigid and lacks intelligence. When you see a living person, you want to bite. If a normal person is bitten, he will become infected and become a zombie."

"Isn't that a zombie?" Xu Ke said.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "Unlike zombies, the formation of zombies is a virus infection, its brain is destroyed, only a certain area of ​​​​the cerebellum is still alive, controlling the body to do some simple actions. Zombies can't fly, it has its own reasoning. It's more acceptable to Western audiences on scientific grounds."

Xu Ke asked, "What about the arrangements for the actors?"

Kang Jianfei said: "First of all, the heroine must be a Hong Kong star, because this is a Hong Kong-made science fiction film. Second, the actor should preferably use a Hollywood superstar, and a Hollywood star familiar to Asian audiences, which is convenient for opening the European and American markets, and can Accepted by Asian audiences. As for supporting roles, the second female lead is best to be an Indian actor, and the rest will be discussed later."

Xu Ke is a lunatic who likes to try new genres. Unfortunately, due to limited funds, he cannot spend like Kang Jianfei. Now listening to Kang Jianfei's idea, Xu Ke is of course willing to take over. The only regret is that he cannot act on his own, because Kang Jianfei will definitely control the crew.

Cheng Long was still quite shocked to hear the two discussing the new film there. Because this is a new type of sci-fi film that has never appeared before, if it can be made, Kang Jianfei is creating film history again.

Cheng Long only had one "Drunken Boxing 2" released last year. Although the domestic and overseas box office was quite high, it still failed to achieve the expected goal. Although his "Red Fan District" has been completed, it has not yet been released, and I feel more uneasy. ("Red Zone" caused a sensation in the United States, that was in 1996)

With the slump of Hong Kong films, all Hong Kong filmmakers are now in a state of anxiety. Hong Jinbao even decided to temporarily step back behind the scenes and no longer serve as a director and star after the series of box office failures.

Cheng Long and Jiahe are also in a hurry. The Chinese-speaking market is shrinking, and the European and American markets cannot enter. They are racking their brains to find a way to break through the predicament. Cheng Long will go to Japan next year to shoot a racing film "The Torch". In fact, Golden Harvest values ​​Cheng Long's popularity in Japan, strives to cater to the Japanese audience, and finds another way to make money in the Japanese market.

Hearing the conversation between Kang Jianfei and Xu Ke, Cheng Long even wondered, should he try new genres?

This idea was quickly rejected by him. Cheng Long knew his strengths and weaknesses, and he could only die in action comedies in his life.

At this moment, the guests on the stage suddenly announced: "The best action director of the 31st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is - Married Class, Liu Jialiang's "Drunken Boxing 2"!"

"Clap clap clap..."

There was thunderous applause in the awarding hall. Cheng Long, Liu Jialiang and the members of the marriage class stood up, shook hands with the people around them, hugged and celebrated~www.wuxiaspot.com~Congratulations! "Kang Jianfei smiled and shook hands with Cheng Long. His "Kung Fu" was also nominated for Best Action Director. Although he lost to "Drunken Fist 2", neither Kang Jianfei nor Cheng Long took this kind of small award to heart.

The next award is the best recording. Wu Yusen's "Face Change" won the first trophy today, and finally won the best editing, the best original screenplay and the best actor.

By the way, this year's Golden Horse Award Best Actor is a double yolk egg again. Zhou Runfa and Nicolas Cage both walked to the podium to win the trophy with their wonderful performances in "Changing Faces".

"Kung Fu" directed by Kang Jianfei is a bit tragic. Kang Jian flew to Taipei this time, and only got the best original script, and he got it with "Face Change".

Zhou Xingchi was speechless about this, and sat below and slapped him from beginning to end.

This year's Golden Horse Actress is Cheng Chong. She used to belong to a mainland actor, but she immigrated to the United States a few years ago, and she will be banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in a few years.

Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang was the biggest winner. His "Long Live Love" not only won the best picture, but he also won the best director award.

The only thing that is worthy of Kang Jianfei's joy is that the best cartoon that was lacking in another time and space was won by "Legend of the Sky" by Dark Horse Animation Company. This cartoon Kang Jianfei did not intervene, it is a pure original work of Dark Horse Animation.

Although "Legend of the Sky" hit the streets when it was released in Hong Kong, with a meager 1.6 million box office, it won several small trophies internationally.

Under the instructions of Kang Jianfei, Dark Horse Animation has been researching digital 3D animation technology since last year, and the "Kung Fu Panda" project has also been prepared. It's just that the speed is very slow. Maybe "Kung Fu Panda" will come out after 2000, and it will take six or seven years to wait.
