Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Forty-Five [Movie Finish]

United Christian Hospital, Kwun Tong District, Kowloon.

Wen Bixia was lying on the bed in the delivery room holding the baby, which was borrowed from a mother in the hospital. The baby’s parents were guarding the corner of the delivery room, and by the way, they watched how Kang Jianfei and the others were filming.

This is already the last few shots of “Happy Ghost”. It took 12 days faster than expected. It only took 10 days to shoot here.

There are reasons for shooting so fast. One is that Kang Jianfei was well prepared, and there were only a few minor accidents during the shooting, which had no impact on the shooting progress; the other was that in order to save the film budget, Kang Jianfei had very little NG during shooting. Basically, it is done once or twice. It doesn’t matter if the performance is not in place, as long as it can make people laugh; the third is that Kang Jianfei has a complete script for split shots, and the plot of the movie is hidden in his heart, and there are almost no extra shots.

Wen Bixia lay on the bed and stroked the baby’s little face with a happy expression on her face. It’s hard enough for a 13-year-old girl to play her mother.

Wen Bixian’s hairstyle and makeup have also changed, and she looks a lot more mature visually. In addition, she already developed early, so she looks a bit like a 16- or 17-year-old girl.

“Hey, this kid is so strange.” Li Saifeng bit the apple and looked down at the camera.

Li Shan held the camera and smiled: “It seems to be Zhu Bangyan.”

Li Saifeng said in surprise, “Could it be that Zhu Xiucai was reincarnated and became Xiaohua’s son?”

“Zhu Xiucai?” The handsome guy played by Kang Jianfei walked in the middle and shouted with a fierce expression, “Call me Dad!”

“Hehehe…”

The baby, who should have been scared to cry, suddenly laughed when he saw Kang Jianfei.

“Crack!” Kang Jianfei said speechlessly, “It’s all over, let’s take another shot of the baby crying.”

Zhong Zhiwen pointed the camera towards the baby, while Kang Jianfei grimaced at the side, but the baby didn’t cry, and curiously stretched out his little hand to grab the camera.

Kang Jianfei had no choice but to ask the baby’s mother, “Mrs. He, how can I make him cry?”

The Mrs. He took her husband out of the ward and said at the door, “Angie, Mom and Dad don’t want you anymore…”

After waiting for the couple’s presence for an hour, the baby was stunned for a moment, and then began to cry with a “wow”.

“Crack!” Kang Jianfei laughed lightly, “I announce that “Happy Ghost” is finished!”

Mr. He and Mrs. He hurried back, hugging her son and coaxing her. And Wen Bixia lifted the sheets and jumped out of bed, hooked Kang Jianfei’s arm affectionately and asked, “When will it be released after filming?”

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, “It won’t take long.”

Kang Jianfei’s initial budget for “Happy Ghost” was 600,000, but after saving more and more, at this time, only 410,000 was spent after filming, plus the later recording, soundtrack, editing, printing, etc., the most It will cost 450,000.

The shooting cost of 450,000 yuan is definitely an ultra-low cost in Hong Kong at this time.

Li Shan has also become familiar with Kang Jianfei these days. She is a third-year high school student at Tiaojingling Middle School. In addition, she is short and looks ordinary, and she has been worrying about the way out in the future.

After ten days of filming, Li Shan earned 2,000 yuan, which made her very excited. When everyone packed up and left the hospital, she quietly asked, “Director, can I still film in the future?”

Seeing her look of anticipation, Kang Jianfei said with a smile, “Why, do you want to be a professional actor in the future?”

Li Shan was shocked by Kang Jianfei’s laughter. She lowered her head and said, “I know that A Xia and A Feng are not as beautiful, but I am really serious about filming, and I also like filming…”

After Kang Jianfei’s Oriental DreamWorks sold “Happy Ghost”, it planned to rent an office building to recruit people, and formalize this leather bag company with only one name. Although Li Shan’s acting skills are immature, she is better than Wen Bixia and Li Saifeng. In addition, people are also diligent and hardworking, and Kang Jianfei has a good impression of her.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, “Well, my company is still small, and there will only be one film in the next year, so there may not be a role that suits you. If you really like filming, you can advance As an apprentice in the company, I learn makeup, scenery, lighting, etc. from the people behind the scenes, and I will play a suitable role for you.”

“Really? Thank you Director, I will do my best!” Li Shan was overjoyed. A girl like her, who graduated from a third-rate high school in a poor place and has no looks, has a hard time finding a promising job. It is an unexpected joy to be able to join a film company.

Everyone put the filming equipment on the truck together, and the crew members asked when “Happy Ghost” was previewed. One-third of these behind-the-scenes people are TVB’s behind-the-scenes staff. They used to make TV series. This is their first movie. Naturally, they want to see the effect in person.

What Kang Jianfei was thinking was how many of these people would be able to join his company in the future. Those who are skilled are sometimes more valuable than those who are more capable.

Li Saifeng went back to school after filming the movie, but Wen Bixia followed Kang Jianfei like a little tail.

Kang Jianfei also went to the post-production center of the Clearwater Bay studio, and by the way, he also went there to return the rented equipment. Seeing Wen Bixia following him into the car, Kang Jianfei said with a headache: “Be good, Xiaxia, go back to school quickly. I will be very busy in the next few days and I won’t have time to take care of you.”

Wen Bixia looked at Kang Jianfei with watery eyes, pulled his clothes and said, “Brother, are you going to drive me away?”

Kang Jianfei couldn’t help laughing. This little girl’s acting skills in real life were much better when she was filming. Those peach blossom eyes made people ignore her age, but any normal man would have the urge to take care of her.

“It’s not to drive you away, it’s that you can’t do anything if you stay here.” Kang Jianfei explained.

Wen Bixia bit her lip and said, “I can do laundry and cook for my brother. I can also fold the quilt and clean the room. Brother, your room is so messy…”

Kang Jianfei sighed, “You still need to study.”

“It’s useless to read!” Wen Bixia lowered her head and said. When she was in kindergarten, she went to school every day and looked forward to the end of school. When her family said she graduated from kindergarten, she thought she would not need to study in her life, and she jumped and jumped with joy.

Kang Jianfei said with a straight face, “Good boy, go back to school, or your parents should say that I kidnapped underage girls.”

Wen Bixia wiped her tears and said, “I don’t go back, everything at home is not good, I like my brother’s house. Why don’t I work as a servant for my brother, I can do anything, and my parents want me to make money outside, I don’t want me to go back and waste food.”

“Bah!”

The driver in charge of transporting the equipment couldn’t wait any longer, and honked his horn impatiently.

Kang Jianfei didn’t have time to grumble with her, so he waved his hand impatiently, “Alright, alright, you go back with your brother Hu first!”

Wen Bixia broke into a smile and followed Hu Jun happily.

The functions of the Clear Water Bay studio are quite complete, and it can basically be regarded as a movie city. Its post-production center is responsible for the post-production of Shaw Brothers films and TVB TV series. Kang Jianfei rented an editor, and then went to contact to record songs and make soundtracks.

Because there was a sub-shot script, and there were very few redundant shots, Kang Jianfei was very relieved to hand over the editing work. As long as the editor is not a fool, he will not make mistakes according to the script.

Just when Kang Jianfei was in the later stage of the film, “Shanghai Beach” starring Zhao Yazhi has already set off a storm of ratings in Hong Kong.

Before the launch of “The Beach”, TVB’s “People in the Net” had good ratings. Unfortunately, because the first heroine resigned temporarily, the script was changed several times in the middle, which caused the ratings to drop continuously.

And LiTV’s annual drama “Six Tribulations in Floating Life” was launched, and the ratings killed TVB’s “Man in the Net”, which almost killed “Man in the Net”.

As soon as “The Beach” came out, it only took three days to tie with “Six Tribulations of Floating Life”. After the fifth day of the broadcast, the ratings of “Shanghai Beach” soared to 47.3%, which was 6 points higher than “Six Calamities”.

Such achievements have already shocked the Hong Kong TV circle. The topic that Hong Kong citizens usually talk about the most has suddenly become Feng Chengcheng and Xu Wenqiang. Even young people’s dress has changed. Many people follow Xu Wenqiang to wear a white scarf, and girls also follow Feng Chengcheng’s braids.

In just a few days, “On the Beach” has become a phenomenal TV series.

“The waves run, the waves flow, the surging rivers will never end…”

Whenever the theme song of “Shanghai Beach” plays at night, the streets of Hong Kong are rarely crowded, and even taxi drivers rush home to watch TV.

What is an empty alley?

This is!

In a mansion in the mid-levels.

Shao Daheng looked at Xu Wenqiang on TV and asked Fang Yihua, “The TV series “Shanghai Beach” doesn’t look like Tianlin’s usual style. What’s going on?”

Fang Yihua said with a smile: “The screenwriter of this TV series is Kang Jianfei, who wrote “Looking for Qin Ji” for “Oriental Daily”. According to Producer Wang, this young man is very good at doing things, and he is the assistant director of “Shanghai Beach”.”

Shao Daheng was slightly surprised, and suddenly smiled: “It’s actually a young man who has just entered the industry. This time, Li Shi was wronged. “Six Tribulations” cost a lot of money, and it was actually suppressed by “Shanghai Beach”. down!”

Li Shi is indeed wronged. “Six Tribulations in Floating Life” is a luxury blockbuster planned by screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan and supervised by Li Zhaoxiong. It is full of stars and has ups and downs. Originally, I was so killed that “People in the Net” couldn’t raise their heads, but I didn’t expect to be suppressed by “Shanghai Beach” in a blink of an eye~www.readwn.com~ At this time, there are already many people who are inquiring about “Shanghai.” The filming of “The Beach” is inside, presumably Kang Jianfei’s name will be remembered by Li Shi people for a while.

When Shao Daheng thought of the ugly faces of Li Shi’s opponents, he said proudly, “Let that young man named Kang Jianfei come to see me another day.”

Fang Yihua hesitated for a moment, then said, “Kang Jianfei is not from the wireless station.”

“Not from TVB? Then how did he become the assistant director of “Shanghai Beach”? It’s just nonsense!” Shao Daheng made a few remarks before slowly turning his head to Fang Yihua and said, “This person’s novels can It is popular in Hong Kong, and the script he wrote can also sell well, which shows that he is a person with real ability. A talented young man should be promoted and reused, and he can be given a better position. ”

Fang Yihua explained: “Producer Wang said he had recruited this person, but Kang Jianfei was reluctant to join the TV station. He started a film company and is now making movies.”

“Make a movie yourself?” Shao Daheng seemed to hear the joke and scolded with a smile, “Young people don’t know what to do!”

Some people say that the cameras at that time were cumbersome, and they also said that the things that were shot could only be viewed after they were printed.

Pharaoh explained that in the 1940s there were portable 36mm cameras. In addition, the advanced cameras at that time had their own director’s viewfinder. In the previous chapter, Zhong Zhiwen said that when he saw Kang Jianfei’s shot was clear, he was standing next to Kang Jianfei and looked at the viewfinder, not the film that was shot.
