Dreams of the Fragrant River

~: Seven hundred and ninety-nine [Terminato

The launch of "Tomb Raiders" is approaching July, and this year's summer movie season is about to start. In DreamWorks' film schedule, the summer movies are "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" directed by Xu Ke, "Codename White Rose" directed by Wang Jing, and "A Lang's Story" directed by Ang Lee.

Among them, the hero and heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" are still Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuixian, but the roles of Zhang Xueyou and Li Jiaxin are newly added; "A Lang's Story" is led by Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong.

It is worth mentioning that "Codename White Rose", this is a film that Kang Jianfei has never heard of. The script was completed by Wang Jing and DreamWorks' up-and-coming screenwriter Zheng Peilin. The cast of this film is extremely strong, including Zhou Xingchi, Liang Jiahui, Wu Mengda, Li Saifeng, Lan Jieying, Mao Shunyun and Wen Bixia, etc. It tells a story that happened in Hong Kong in the early 1950s.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the summer season of the North American film market has already begun. James Cameron's "Terminator 2" has been released for a full week.

Terminator 2 was like a storm swept across North America, with Canadian and American audiences stunned by the dangling special effects, just as they were watching Star Wars more than a decade ago.

The opening screen was 2,274, and the box office of the first weekend (Friday to weekend) was 30.48 million US dollars. The data of "Terminator 2" has blinded countless people's eyes. Based on this opening result, the North American box office of "Terminator 2" may exceed 200 million, because the number of theaters and the number of screenings are still increasing.

The copyright of the "Terminator" series of films belongs to Kang Jianfei's Oriental Film Company in the United States, and it is only a cooperative relationship with Paramount.

After "Terminator 2" sold out, not only the film's director and male and female protagonists were sought after, but even Kang Jianfei, a behind-the-scenes investor, was highly appraised by the Global Times: "Kang is an extremely shrewd film investor. Mellon has dug a mountain of gold."

...

No reporters were invited to the opening ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Raiders". Only photographers from Phoenix TV and Macau Satellite TV were present. They took some clips to promote the show.

At half past nine. Kang Jianfei took the lead in offering incense to the four worshipers, and after the feudal superstition activities were officially launched.

The crew was split into two at the beginning. Chen Xunqi, the producer, made a cameo appearance as a director and photographer in the second group, and took people to Temple Street to shoot.

Because in Kang Jianfei's revised novel, the hero Wu Xie was brought to Hong Kong by his father when he was young. After graduating from the Civil Engineering Department of the University of Hong Kong, he opened an antique shop on Temple Street.

Chen Xunqi's group only needs to shoot the street and take a few shots, while Kang Jianfei is in charge of shooting indoor scenes.

"The second scene of "Tomb Notes", the first scene. Akesh!"

The shooting location was in the office room of an administrative building in Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. The room was decorated in an antique style, and there were some bottles and jars lying around as antiques.

Wu Zhenyu sat behind the counter and pretended to look at a diary.

Yellow Shrimp, who was the guest star of Big Golden Teeth, sneaked in and asked, "Are you here to reclaim the book?"

Wu Zhenyu looked up at Huang Shrimp, lowered his head and continued to read the diary, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, but the price is not high."

"Oh, then can you introduce me to me?" Huang Shrimp said.

Wu Zhenyu continued to read, ignoring him at all.

Huang Shrimp said with a smile: "Then let me ask. Is there a rubbing of the Warring States Silk Book? It's the one that was stolen by a native of Changsha 40 years ago and deceived by the Americans."

Wu Zhenyu raised his head suddenly and looked at Da Jinya with surprised eyes.

"Crack!"

Everyone thought it was over. Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei stopped at the last moment, he said: "Zhenyu, your expression is too exaggerated. Remember, your expression should be restrained, it is the kind of expression that deliberately conceals your inner surprise, and your eyes are unconstrained. put."

"ok, director, let me try it first." Wu Zhenyu nodded.

In the end, Wu Zhenyu's surprised close-up shot was ng three times in a row before he passed the level. Even if the scene is over.

A movie is a movie after all, and it is impossible to capture all the details and contents of a novel. The next scene needs to go to the airport to shoot.

The male protagonist Wu Xie is going to Beijing to visit his third uncle, and this is what Kang Jianfei wants to shoot. The male protagonist called the third uncle in the phone booth at the airport, and through two or three lines of dialogue, told the audience that the male protagonist was going to Beijing.

After the call, the hero Wu Xie and the heroine Zhang Qiling passed by, and then the heroine called. Through the content of the phone call, the audience can know that Zhang Qiling is going to the mainland to buy one thing - the Wujin blood sword that appeared later.

The hero and heroine are on the same flight, but neither of them pays attention to each other.

Kang Jianfei took great pains to write the script, and there are several kinds of novels to change the script. Take two extreme examples. One is Qiong Yao's "words do not move", and the language of the novel can be directly translated into the language of the script; the other is to change the ancient dragon drama, when the script is adapted and the script can only be written. The brain hole is wide open, and it is impossible to shoot directly according to the original script.

When Kang Jianfei adapted the script, he first built the plot framework, strictly designed the size of the film and each climax and high tide point, and then filled it with bridges to link them. He found that if the order of appearance of the characters in "The Tomb Raiders" is strictly followed, the presence of the heroine Zhang Qiling will be weakened. Moreover, Zhang Qiling's identity background was also changed several times, and finally it was designed to appear at the Hong Kong airport at the same time as the male lead.

It was only after four o'clock in the afternoon when the airport scene was finished. Kang Jianfei asked the photographer to take two shots of the plane taking off, and then took the crew back to the studio of the Studio City.

The scenes in the tomb all need to be shot inside the props built, and all the artificial light is used, so the shooting is the same during the day and night.

Immediately after everyone returned to the film and television city, they received their lunch boxes. After a 20-minute break, Kang Jianfei started filming until 11:30 p.m. and announced the end of work.

The actors all dispersed, and the crew was still packing up the props. Kang Jianfei was obviously not as easy as the previous filming this time, because "Notes on Tomb Raiders" belonged to his original creation. He didn't have those fully formed shots and scenes in his mind, so he could only follow step by step when shooting.

Now everyone can go home and rest, but he has to drink a note to stay and continue to work, and he can sleep after finishing the shots taken today.

Zhang Dan worked for thirteen hours in a row, with breaks between meals, and he was too tired to finish work. However, she did not go home directly, but went to buy two late-night snacks and sent them to the warehouse to Kang Jianfei and Changji.

After being spoiled by his manager last time, Zhang Yan was always worried and didn't know what kind of impression Kang Jianfei had on her.

"Director, let's have something to eat first." Zhang Dan brought the midnight snack to Kang Jianfei.

"Let it go, I'll sort it out in a while, you go back to rest first." Kang Jianfei said.

Zhang Dan stood beside her for a moment, she was already exhausted, she soon started to yawn non-stop, and finally slipped back to sleep.

After working for seven or eight days, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", directed by Xu Ke and starring Leslie Cheung, Wang Zuixian, Zhang Xueyou, and Li Jiaxin, was finally released.

The summer movies released in the same period include "Secrets of Development" by Gao Zhisen Film Production Company, "Rejuvenation" directed by Zeng Zhiwei for Vientiane Pictures, "One Eyebrow Taoist" directed by Lin Zhengying for Jiahe Pictures, as well as the film introduced by Anle Pictures. The Hollywood film "Iron King Kong Fights the Murderer", and there are several other low-quality films that are not worth watching.

Eh, the so-called "Iron King Kong Fighting Murderers" is a Hong Kong translation. It also has a name called "007 Series: Licence to Kill". This film sold more than 12 million box office in Hong Kong, and the Jiang brothers made it again. a sum.

Judging from the box office of these summer movies, Gao Zhisen, who was very prosperous last year, went to the street, and Zeng Zhiwei, who was entrusted to reuse by Huang Baiming, also went to the street.

The several films that Gao Zhisen made for Pan Disheng in the past two years totaled nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office in Hong Kong alone. He helped others earn so much money, but he didn't get a few of them. Of course, Gao Zhisen was not reconciled, so he ran out and started his own company as the boss. Who would have thought that he would be poured cold water on his head. 8.41 million.

Zeng Zhiwei's "Rejuvenation" is similar, the box office is less than 9 million, which makes him and several shareholders of Vientiane Pictures have disputes. After sharing the money, he left Vientiane Pictures and went to Jiahe.

On the contrary, Lin Zhengying's "One Eyebrow Taoist", under the pressure of "A Chinese Ghost Story 2", won a box office of more than 14 million.

That is to say, ~lightnovelpub.net~ A Chinese Ghost Story 2 was released at the right time, and there were no competitive opponents in the same period, so "The One Eyebrows" and "007 Series: License to Kill" were a bit of a threat.

Relying on the good reputation left by the first film, "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" performed very strongly, leading the summer box office list, and finally won the domestic box office of more than 28 million.

Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuixian are still fascinated by countless young boys and girls. Li Jiaxin's poor acting skills in the film were once again criticized by film critics, but Zhang Xueyou was considered to be very talented as an actor.

By the time Wang Jing's "Codename White Rose" was released, Kang Jianfei had already completed most of the scenes shot in Hong Kong for "Notes on Tomb Raiders". At this time, he had to announce the suspension of work for half a day, because the finals of this year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant were held as scheduled, and Kang Jianfei had to attend in person.

The quality of the beauties in Miss Hong Kong this year is not very high, but Chen Farong is very eye-catching; and Miss Oriental is similar, and the overall level has dropped by a grade compared with last year. It seems that all the beauty resources have been used up last year.

However, in this year's Miss Oriental Beauty Contest, there are still two beauties who support the scene, one of them is called Wan Qiwen and the other is called Weng Hong. (To be continued)()
