Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Forty-One [Turn On To Worship God]

After returning home, Wen Bixia went to the bathroom on average every ten minutes, not because she drank too much water, but to go inside and look in the mirror.

Kang Jianfei was quite speechless to this stinky little girl, but Li Saifeng was much more reliable. After he came back, he has been reading the script and asked Kang Jianfei some questions about how to make a movie from time to time.

It was only in the evening that Kang Jianfei took Li Saifeng downstairs, called a taxi to take her home, and at the same time told her to go back and read the script carefully and rehearse more in front of the mirror.

As for Wen Bixia, this girl refused to go back no matter how persuaded she was, saying that she wanted to stay here and let Kang Jianfei teach her to act, so that she would not perform well after the phone was turned on.

Looking at Wen Bixia’s appearance, she refused to return to the poor place in Jingling. Kang Jianfei could only call her school to ask for leave, and then ask Principal Lin to tell Wen Bixia’s parents.

Not long after, Hu Juncai came back with a takeaway. This guy was busy outside all day, all helping Kang Jianfei arrange the time for the implementation of the cast and crew, so as not to cause any trouble after the filming started.

After Hu Juncai came back, he suddenly saw a little beauty at home and thought he had entered the wrong door.

Kang Jianfei introduced: “This is Wen Bixia, the heroine of “Happy Ghost”. Asia, this is your brother Hu Juncai.”

Wen Bixia didn’t know what Hu Jun’s identity was, but she was in a very happy mood now and greeted obediently, “Hello, Brother Hu.”

“Hello.” Hu Juncai smiled at her.

Wen Bixia made the dinner. Although this little girl is rebellious and stinky, the food she cooks is quite fragrant, much better than Li Saifeng’s craftsmanship.

During the meal, Wen Bixia no longer lay on the table and gulps the rice, but deliberately imitated Li Saifeng’s way of eating at noon. From time to time, she also diligently served Kang Jianfei with vegetables, and said softly, “Brother, eat pork ribs…Brother I Pull the fishbone out…”

Hu Juncai, who was practicing horse steps, was dumbfounded. When Wen Bixia went to wash the dishes, he quietly asked Kang Jianfei, “Where did you find such a sensible and well-behaved little girl?”

“Being sensible means being sensible, but not necessarily being well-behaved.” Kang Jianfei laughed. He still clearly remembered Wen Bixia’s fierce look after being hit by Wen Bixia outside the principal’s room that day.

Wen Bixia’s obedience depends on who she is, and she knows exactly what Kang Jianfei is thinking. Wen Bixia has lived in poverty-stricken mountains for 13 years, and was almost sold by her mother when she was a child. Kang Jianfei is her only hope to get out of Tiaojingling. Naturally, she has to seize this opportunity regardless.

Although it was a little too realistic, Kang Jianfei didn’t mind. In his previous life, when he was a wanderer at a young age, let alone a rich man, he was overjoyed even if a thief would take him in. In order to get ahead, Kang Jianfei tried his best to please the thief and helped him faithfully. In the end, the thief was really moved by him. Not only did he teach Kang Jianfei the technique of pressing the bottom of the box, but he also accepted him as his apprentice and taught Kang Jianfei’s family heirloom Feihe Fist.

Later, the gang of thieves grew bigger and bigger, and Kang Jianfei also became a prince-like figure in the gang, and was trained as the boss of the next generation. It’s a pity that in just two or three years, their den of thieves was taken over by the heroic police uncle, and Kang Jianfei was also sent to the Children’s Welfare Institute because he was a minor. If not, Kang Jianfei will probably become the king of thieves in a few years.

After all, Wen Bixia and Kang Jianfei are the same kind of people.

At night, Kang Jianfei asked Wen Bixia to sleep in his room, while he lay on the sofa in the living room and made do with it. The big sofa was soft and warm, no different from the big bed, but it wasn’t like the low-quality small sofa at my cousin’s house, and my back was sore after ten minutes of sleep.

Wen Bixue closed the bedroom door. She was the only one left in the room. She suddenly laughed silently, and jumped on the bed and rolled around.

What a big and soft bed!

Wen Bixia buried her face in the quilt and found that the quilt also smelled nice. Compared to this place, her home was like hell. Nine people lived in a 30-square-meter house. The bed was narrow and hard, and the quilt had a musty smell.

If you can live in this kind of house all your life, you will only have to live ten years less, Wen Bixia thought to herself.

That Mr. Kang looks very kind, and has the ability and money. If I grow up, I can marry him as a wife. But when I grow up, a man as capable as him must be married.

Wen Bixia was thinking wildly on the bed for a while, and she couldn’t fall asleep even though she rolled around, so she got up again, put on her new clothes, and kept looking in the small mirror.

Early the next morning, Kang Jianfei left Wen Bixia a key and fifty dollars, and went out with Hu Juncai.

There are still many sporadic filming sites that have not yet been determined, and we must contact them one by one. All these tasks should be done by the assistant director Hu Juncai, but Kang Jianfei knew that he was inexperienced, so he could only take him out to discuss it in person, and then let him contact and coordinate the time after the negotiation was completed.

Alas, if there is no one under your command, you are forced to work hard, and you have to take care of everything yourself.

The first thing I found was the school, because the school in the movie was an aristocratic school, and the dormitory building of Tiaojingling Middle School was too bad to be filmed at all. Kang Jianfei had to find a good school to borrow the dormitory.

I went to several schools in a row, and the school rejected Kang Jianfei’s request on the grounds that it would affect the teaching. As for the real reason, it is nothing more than that Kang Jianfei is a new director who is not famous (the author’s reputation is not counted), and he is not willing to pay a high price. Rental dormitory.

Of course, Kang Jianfei was unwilling to pay a high price. He gave Tiaojingling Middle School 18,000 yuan, not only because the sports meeting was very heavy, but more importantly, the school promised to mobilize more than 100 students to be extras for him for free. These student actors, but throughout the entire film, can at least save him tens of thousands of dollars.

Grass, if Lao Tzu is a famous director, in order to increase his fame, it is estimated that these schools will not only not charge money, but will instead provide funds to assist the filming.

In the end, Kang Jianfei rented several dormitories, sports rooms, and ballrooms of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University as filming locations for 5,000 yuan. In the next few days, I spent some more money to contact Liyuan Amusement Park, Xishawan Hotel and other units, and it was considered that all the shooting locations were settled.

…………

After all the preparations were done, “Happy Ghost” finally started.

Of course, there is one more thing before starting the machine, and that is to worship God.

On November 25, 1979, two months and twenty-three days after Kang Jianfei came to Hong Kong, the opening ceremony of “Happy Ghost” was held at the Clear Water Bay studio.

Including the behind-the-scenes personnel, the core of the entire crew is only a dozen people, and there are dozens of onlookers next to them.

Kang Jianfei and the field staff moved the table together, and then placed roast suckling pig, roast goose and many fruits. After arranging the altar, Kang Jianfei brought the whole crew to worship the gods, folded his hands to hold the incense, and muttered in his mouth: “The great gods from all walks of life bless the filming of “Happy Ghost”, which is a big hit at the box office…”

After Kang Jianfei prayed, everyone else put up incense and prayed.

They performed the worship ceremony at the Clear Water Bay studio, because the opening scene of the broken temple was filmed here, and the scene on the beach can be shot on the beach near Clear Water Bay. The filming equipment that Kang Jianfei leased is now lying in the Clear Water Bay studio. If you shoot here first and then go to Tiaojingling Middle School, you can save a lot of time and shipping costs.

When the movie starts to worship God, it would have attracted onlookers. What’s more, Kang Jianfei, a mainland boy who had never made a movie before, brought a shabby crew that had been put together, plus a bunch of unknown actors.

This combination is really ridiculous enough.

“This Kang Jianfei, does he write novels when he makes movies? If he could make money by making movies with a random crew, I would have changed careers to be a director long ago.”

“Mainland boy, what insight do you have? After working with Supervisor Wang to make a TV series for a few days, I thought it would be easy to make a movie.”

“I watched his film come out, and I didn’t even have the chance to show it. This crazy line, dare to start it without the support of the theater line.”

“Haha, I heard that this kid made hundreds of thousands writing novels. I think he has to lose all of his money.”

“This kind of person is poor. He doesn’t buy a house for hundreds of thousands to appreciate in value, but he actually uses it to make a movie. It would be good if he jumped off the building.”

“…”

These people talking and talking are the bottom people on the set. Either extras or the lowest-level theater workers, really capable people, have no time to come to see Kang Jianfei, a newcomer director, start the game and worship God.

The sarcasm grew louder and louder, and finally reached the point of unscrupulousness. The employees of the “Happy Ghost” crew were all brought in by Kang Jianfei either with money or friendship. After hearing the sarcasm, some people were angry and held back their anger, wishing to rush over to beat those people; some Others felt ashamed and thought of quitting the crew.

Kang Jianfei took a shot on the platform, pointed at the people outside, looked around and shouted, “You street fighters, you don’t have the ability to make movies, what qualifications do you have to speak of me? I am a Hong Kong escaped from the mainland. Two months after coming to Hong Kong, I can raise my own funds to make a movie, so what if I lose? At least I have fought hard! And you, you are not even qualified to try to make a movie, you have no funds and no courage, you deserve to be without food for the rest of your life Eat! Uncle, I’m going to turn on the computer now. Get out of my way. If you want to laugh at me, you can wait until my movie hits the street in two months. But now, you don’t have this qualification, because you are even one of me and me. Littlefinger is not as good!”

Kang Jianfei’s voice was so loud that the veins on his forehead burst out from his roar, which quickly silenced the originally noisy worshiping scene.

“Well said!” The first to agree was the seventh uncle who was in charge of the field affairs team, and the old man took the lead in applauding.

The other crew members also reacted, applauding and shouting, “The director said it well!”

Wu Chenggang was also applauding hard. He originally thought that Kang Jianfei was mentally ill, and he could not persuade him to make a movie by himself. But Kang Jianfei’s remarks just now were like a blow to the head, and Wu Chenggang suddenly realized: what qualifications do he have to question Kang Jianfei? Whether Kang Jianfei made a profit or lost, at least he took that step, and he was much better than himself, a rotten guy who couldn’t buy a house after working in Hong Kong for 20 years.

Zhong Zhiwen and Zhong Yuan were also applauding. Zhong Zhiwen was originally attracted by Kang Jianfei’s script and had no friendship with Kang Jianfei. However, what Kang Jianfei said now has made Zhong Zhiwen, who is also a young man, enthusiastic, and feels that filming with an aggressive young director seems to be a good choice.

And what about Zhong Yuan? This fat man is in his thirties. He used to be a good recording engineer in Jiashi. He looked like he was laughing all day, but he looked down on everyone in his eyes. He originally looked down on Kang Jianfei, and came to the crew purely to make money. Kang Jianfei’s remarks made Zhong Yuan’s impression a little changed. At least he felt that Kang Jianfei was not that kind of ignorant waste~www.readwn.com ~ Before the applause of the crew fell, a burly guy came over, pointed at Kang Jianfei’s nose and asked, “Who the **** are you scolding for being a street boy!”

“You are the one who scolds!” Kang Jianfei was soft when he should be soft, but harder than anyone else when he should be hard. If he shrinks at this moment, how can he, as a director, have any prestige in the already loose crew in the future?

A director is like a commander and an army to the crew. If the director has no prestige, the situation is very bad, and the quality and progress of the shooting will decline. And now these people who laugh at him can be used to stand up and increase the cohesion of the “Happy Ghost” crew.

The strong man seemed to be a dragon and tiger martial artist who specialized in filming action scenes on the set. He had some real kung fu in his hands. Hearing Kang Jianfei’s scolding, he immediately threw his fists in anger.

“Director be careful!” The crew exclaimed.

Kang Jianfei’s body has been working in rural Bao’an for more than ten years now. Whether it’s growing crops or fishing, his muscles are firm and strong. Cooperating with Kang Jianfei’s fighting skills, he stumbled the strong man to the ground with just a flick of a flash, a hook and a slash, and punched him on the back of the head.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, the dragon and tiger martial artist who looked tall and mighty was knocked unconscious by Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei looked around again and said, “Who else doesn’t agree?”

There was silence all around.

Uh, I was so fascinated by the Great God’s “Heroes of God”, but I forgot to update it…
