Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Eighty-One [Quick Gunner]

The preliminary preparations for “Mr. Zombie” have been gradually completed, and Cheng Long’s “Junior Brother Out of the Horse” has finally landed in Taiwan. The total box office in Taiwan is NT$15.2 million, which is equivalent to more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

A horizontal comparison of the box office of “Junior Brother Out of the Horse” in other regions, or a vertical comparison of the box office of Taiwanese films over the years, this is just a somewhat tragic figure.

However, this is not about the quality of the film, it is caused by the general environment of the Taiwan market. The impact of the Sino-US construction on Taiwan last year was too great. Many wealthy Taiwanese businessmen and filmmakers believed that Taiwan had no future. Ordinary people are also mourning, and entertainment activities have been greatly reduced. Coupled with the popularity of TV sets, many people choose to watch TV at home, which has further reduced the number of moviegoers.

Taiwan’s box-office champion this year, “Sakura Love”, only made more than 22 million at the box office for four consecutive months, which shows how far the Taiwanese film market has shrunk. (The last chapter is wrong, Taiwan’s top box office in 1980 was a US film, the second was a Hong Kong film, and the third was a Japanese film.)

This bleak situation did not improve until Taiwan’s economy exploded in 1981 and people regained confidence.

In this atmosphere, “Happy Ghost” was screened in the first round of Cathay Pacific and Ximen Cinemas in Taipei on the fifth day after the filming of “Junior Brother”.

The stars of “Mr. Zombie” came to Taipei one after another, and all stayed in the Jinyue Hotel.

Except for the heroine Li Saifeng and the third male lead Xu Guanying, Huang Shrimp, Yuan Hua and others, like Lin Zhengying, are all borrowed from Hong Jinbao’s Hong family class. Huang Shrimp and Yuan Hua are from dragon and tiger martial arts. Among them, Huang Shrimp plays Li Saifeng’s father in the film, while Yuanhua plays Li Saifeng’s dead grandfather, the final big BOSS zombie.

Kang Jianfei owes Hong Jinbao a huge debt this time, and he will definitely pay it back in the future.

There is borrowing and repayment, it is not difficult to borrow again.

Hong Jinbao has a large pool of talents, and Kang Jianfei naturally cannot offend him. Maybe one day he will beg someone else. If Hong Jin Baoguang was the only commander, Kang Jianfei wouldn’t care about that slut’s temperament.

“Tomorrow, we will officially start worshipping God at the China Film Culture City. Let everyone rest early today, so don’t get bored tomorrow.” Kang Jianfei said to Lin Zhengying. Although he is the director, but there are several Hong family members in the crew, sometimes it is more convenient for Lin Zhengying to issue orders.

“Okay.” Lin Zhengying spat out a word, and then went to greet everyone to go to bed.

As soon as Kang Jianfei returned to his room, there was a knock on the door, but it was Pan Yingzi who came in.

In the middle of the night, a beautiful actress took the initiative to come to the director’s room. Is this an unspoken rhythm?

Kang Jianfei was having **** when he saw Pan Yingzi throwing a note on the coffee table and said, “You are late, Lin Qingxia is not in Taiwan now, but is studying literature and art at the University of Hawaii.”

Kang Jianfei opened the note, and it said the address somewhere in Hawaii, which should be Lin Qingxia’s current residence. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why did Lin Qingxia go to study abroad?”

“I left after the filming of “Blood and Yellow Flower” before the Spring Festival, and now I live in the house of a female friend’s mother.” Pan Yingzi sat on the sofa, her tight cropped trousers outlined her amazingly plump buttocks, and sat down. When the trousers were raised, a section of white tender calves like lotus roots was exposed. Pan Yingzi didn’t care about Kang Jianfei’s fiery gaze, and said, “It seems that Lin Qingxia left Taiwan because of emotional problems. I don’t know the specific situation. I have found a lot of people to ask about this address.”

Kang Jianfei wanted to bring Lin Qingxia to Hong Kong to shoot a commercial film as soon as possible, but she did not expect that she would go to the United States. It seems that she will have to wait until the filming of “Mr.

Putting Lin Qingxia’s affairs aside, Kang Jianfei walked towards the radiant Pan Yingzi. Facing this kind of naked seduction, if he didn’t do anything, he would not be a man, he would be worse than a beast.

Kang Jianfei was going to sit down next to Pan Yingzi, and then slowly flirt. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, Pan Yingzi suddenly stood up, smiled charmingly at him and said, “It’s getting late, I’ll go back to my room to rest first, good night!”

“Cough, good night!” Kang Jianfei coughed awkwardly, and he could only watch Pan Yingzi wriggling his waist and go out.

This woman is really hateful, she turns around and walks away after arousing a man’s sexual interest. It is typical to kill or bury it!

The opening ceremony of “Mr. Zombie” was much more lively than “Happy Ghost”. There were more than 30 behind-the-scenes employees and leading actors in the crew, plus some extras, dozens of people gathered in the courtyard.

Kang Jianfei rubbed the incense at the front, followed by Lin Zhengying, Li Saifeng, Chen You, Xu Guanying and others, who followed him and bowed three times in front of the divine case.

The process of inviting Xu Guanying to play was unexpectedly smooth. The Xu brothers have not made a movie for two years. Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie can make money as hosts, screenwriters and singing, but Xu Guanying has not made much money.

Although Xu Guanying can also sing, his honor is really unworthy of the audience. Only by borrowing the movies of the Xu brothers can he sell his songs. Xu Guanying, who had not made a movie for two years, only made some money by writing lyrics and writing articles. Kang Jianfei invited him with a salary of 50,000 yuan.

After the ceremony of worshiping the gods, the field workers moved the **** case to one side and put it away. This **** case is a filming prop and will be used several times later.

Lin Zhengying quickly put on her makeup. The old-fashioned man dyed his gray hair and looked at least 50 years old. If he walked on the street like this, no one would guess that he was not yet 30 years old.

Chen You’s Taoist dress is even more eye-catching. This big singer with a mustache and a Taoist robe stands there, without saying a word, he can give people a sense of ghost.

Kang Jianfei and more than a dozen extras put on the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, fluttered with powder and dark circles under their eyes, and more than a dozen zombies were freshly released.

The first scene is the scene of Yizhuang. The male No. 2 Qiusheng played by Kang Jianfei pretends to be a zombie to frighten the literary talent played by Xu Guanying, but he gets rid of the real zombie’s yellow talisman, creating a ridiculous farce.

Hu Juncai started the recording, and Chen Xunqi followed Kang Jianfei as an assistant. When Kang Jianfei appeared on the stage, he also tried to train Chen Xunqi as an executive director.

The eight coffins were neatly placed in the room, and the windows were purposely sealed to keep the light in the room dark, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Xu Guanying is worthy of being an old actor. After he is familiar with the script, he does not need Kang Jianfei’s trouble at all to successfully achieve the effect Kang Jianfei wants, and he can even perform exceptionally well.

Actors with acting talent can often give the director unexpected joy. For example, there is a scene in the original version of “The Beach”, which was included in the TVB wireless training course textbook as a classic example.

That scene was when Xu Wenqiang was injured and Changgui fed him porridge.

Originally, there was no plot of spitting up porridge in the script, but Zhou Runfa acted in the play and started coughing out of the script, spitting up porridge while coughing. The director thought the effect was very good and didn’t call to stop. As a result, Liao Qizhi, who played a long and expensive role, also came to cooperate. When Brother Fa spit out the porridge, he stroked Brother Fa’s vest and wiped the porridge from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Both of them are out of the script, but one portrays Xu Wenqiang’s injury and weakness to the core, and the other shows Chang Gui’s honesty and kindness to the fullest.

Xu Guanying is such an actor~www.readwn.com~ Of course, his talent only exists in funny plots, and his expressions and actions make the already funny plots even more hilarious. The same is true of Chen You, who has not made a few movies. He seems to be born to eat this bowl of rice, and his exaggerated expression is quite Zhou Xingchi’s nonsensical demeanor.

“You stand here, wait for Ayou to come over and jump up like this, Ayou, put your left foot first…” Lin Zhengying explained the action scene to Chen You and a zombie. With Lin Zhengying as the action guide, Kang Jianfei is a hundred times easier. He only needs to take out the script of the shot, find Lin Zhengying and the photographer to express his requirements, and everyone will discuss and solve the rest.

Lin Zhengying, Xu Guanying and others, who were used to filming, were also surprised by how fast they followed Kang Jianfei in making movies.

You must know that filming comedies is done slowly. For example, Gao Zhisen, the genuine director of “Happy Ghost”, made Shen Tianxia walk more than ten times in a single walking scene, and finally passed the funniest effect. In another time and space, when Lin Zhengying was filming “Mr. Zombie”, many funny plots were also pondered by everyone during the filming. Like the classic plot of holding one’s breath to hide from zombies in the film, the inspiration came from the crew members holding their breath while playing games in the hotel.

On the other hand, Kang Jianfei does not have these obstacles. Traversal is a super cheating device. He can directly say the laughing fruit he needs, and the actor only needs to execute it according to his requirements.

Shooting in this way shortened the time by at least two-thirds compared to the normal shooting of other directors.

After the first day of filming was over, the filming progress was terrifyingly fast. Xu Guanying, Chen You, Lin Zhengying and other crew members quietly gave Kang Jianfei an indecent nickname – Quick Gunner!
