Golden Harvest Studios.

Xu Anhua wore a sunhat, sat on a chair, and seriously explained the next plot to the leading actor Hu Yinmeng.

"You play Lin Wanrong is a woman who begs for a living in a nightclub, seems to be bohemian, but in fact has a strong personality. She has her own pursuits, her own dreams, and her own understanding of love, which is different from other women in that era......"

Xu Anhua filmed this "Sweet Honey", and waited for eight years, from 1968 when Huo Yaowen wrote this book and published it, it has been eight years now.

In the past eight years, Xu Anhua has almost turned over the book, in addition to reading it, she has also expanded the detailed background information of each character she has appeared, which is not in the original book.

From the actor Huo Zainian as an example, Xu Anhua expanded him to a real person according to the only background information in the book, from the date of birth, to studying there, to how he came to Hong Kong.

These are just small meanings, the most surprising thing is that Xu Anhua wrote a full thirteen pages of information for the absolute heroine Lin Wanrong, from background to personality, to appearance and personal preferences, it is almost a copy of the encyclopedia.

To put it bluntly, even the original author Huo Yaowen may not know as much about the characters in the book as Xu Anhua.

"Do you understand?" Xu Anhua said with a dry mouth, picked up the cup on the table, and drank it in a big gulp, not caring about his image at all.

"Got a little bit of it. ”

Hu Yinmeng sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and it took a long time to sort out the content related to the heroine Lin Wanrong explained by the director.

"Well, I got it. ”

Xu Anhua glanced at Qin Han, who was sitting opposite, and was just about to tell him about Huo Zainian's psychology, when the producer hurriedly ran in from outside and said, "Director Xu, the general manager is here." ”

"The teacher is here?!"

Xu Anhua's face was overjoyed, she quickly got up and tidied up her clothes, and when she took off her hat and was about to go out to greet her, she saw Huo Yaowen and her friend Zhang Yingying walking over together.

In front of outsiders, Xu Anhua still shouted with the big guy, "General manager." ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at the scene and asked with a smile, "Didn't disturb your filming?"

"No, Director Xu is still explaining the role to Miss Hu and Mr. Qin. ”

The producer laughed on the sidelines.

Huo Yaowen walked closer, looked at a few books stacked on the table, picked up one casually, the cover had the words "Lin Wanrong" written on it, and when he opened it, it was full of information remarks about Lin Wanrong, and the level of detail made even him, the author, embarrassed.

"Ah Hua, you have prepared in detail enough. ”

Huo Yaowen looked at Xu Anhua in surprise, he didn't expect her to do it so meticulously, and even made the personal information of each character.

"This is what I wrote before. ”

Xu Anhua said flatly: "Since the general manager agreed to hand over this story to me to film, I have been figuring out the personality and background of each character in the book, and I have accumulated a lot over the years. ”

"You're not just speculating, I think you can write another book yourself. ”

Huo Yaowen looked at Xu Anhua, who was so serious, and was also happy that he insisted on not handing it over to Li Hanxiang for filming.

"I can't write it. ”

Xu Anhua shook her head, she has a very low talent for literary creation, but she has a very good idea of forming a picture sense of words, which even when she was studying in film school in the UK, those professional tutors praised her.

After chatting for a while, Huo Yaowen didn't bother too much, so he asked Xu Anhua to direct the crew to start work, and he watched the play with Zhang Yingying.

At this time, Hu Yinmeng painted the makeup of a dusty woman, standing on the stage, with slightly curly long hair, accompanied by the blowing of the blower next to her, and the restoration of on-site props, very similar to the big Shanghai during the Republic of China.

This part is filmed about Hu Yinmeng singing in a nightclub, or before he met the actor.

"Mr. Huo. I was watching it intently, and Qin Han, who had not yet filmed beside him, took the initiative to come up.

Huo Yaowen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Qin Han, right?" ”

Huo Yaowen is still very familiar with Qin and Han, and he watched a Taiwanese literary film "A Boat in the Ocean", in which the disabled teacher Zheng Fengxi played him, and the love triangle between Qingxia and Qin Xianglin is even more well-known.

"It's... Yes. ”

Qin Han didn't expect Huo Yaowen to know his name, and he also said happily: "Mr. Huo, I liked the book "Sweet Honey" you wrote the most when I was a soldier, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to play the role of Huo Zainian today, it's really an honor, thank you Mr. Huo for giving me this opportunity." ”

From the time the project was established, Huo Yaowen was given full authority to Xu Anhua, from preparing the crew to hiring actors, she was responsible for it alone, and she even gave a budget of 500,000 yuan.

This is an astronomical amount of money in literary romance films, you must know that Taiwan's Qiong Yao's literary films, the maximum investment in a movie is only about 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The heroine candidate, Xu Anhua took a fancy to Hu Yinmeng, who was full of literature and art, early on, but at that time, Hu Yinmeng followed Qingxia and Liu Songren and others to the United States to shoot the second part of "1999", so the crew has been delayed until recently.

The rest of the supporting roles are also very good to choose, and Huanyu Film Company has also signed a lot of actors over the years, which is enough for Xu Anhua to choose, but she is extremely strict in the selection of actors.

Whether it is the company or the Phoenix Terrace, none of them are Xu Anhua who thinks he can play Huo Zainian.

This is not to say that no one is really suitable, but Xu Anhua has always regarded Huo Yaowen as the prototype of Huo Zainian from beginning to end, and every candidate, in her heart, compared with the teacher, she will find that these people are far inferior in terms of appearance and temperament.

After a delay of more than two months, when Hu Yinmeng came back from the United States, seeing that the movie was about to start filming, Xu Anhua also began to get anxious. Later, by chance, she saw Qin Han's stills in an entertainment weekly, asked someone to find a movie to watch it, and found that it was okay, so she chose him to play this role.

"It's not my credit that you played this role. Huo Yaowen couldn't see the little Jiujiu in Qin Han's heart, and said with a chuckle.

Qin Han listened to it, his face was embarrassed, and when he was thinking about how to answer, he only heard Huo Yaowen say to the girl next to him: "Yingying, I have left beforehand, you can watch Ah Hua filming here." ”

"Ahh

Zhang Yingying came to visit her friend today, and happened to meet Huo Yaowen outside the studio.

"Well, something. ”

Today, Huo Yaowen wanted to go to Lantau Island to see how "Jurassic Park" was filmed, and he came to the studio just by the way, thinking that his student Xu Anhua should be filming "Sweet Honey" at this time, so he drove in to take a look.

"Okay, teacher, go get busy, I'll talk to Ah Hua later. ”

"Okay, next time I have time, the teacher will invite you to dinner at home. ”

During the more than a year of teaching at HKU, Fok Yaowen was not familiar with many students, so Xu Anhua and Zhang Yingying had more contact, and they are still in contact with each other.

When Zhang Yingying heard that she was going to the teacher's house for dinner, she quickly nodded and agreed: "Then it's decided! ”

"Haha, welcome to interrupt. ”

Huo Yaowen laughed, then got up and waved goodbye to Zhang Yingying, then left the studio and drove to Lantau Island.

……

In a dense jungle on Lantau Island, near a small river.

The filming of "Jurassic Park", except for the actors and some of the crew from the United States, most of them were temporarily transferred from Huanyu Company.

In order to cooperate with Spielberg to shoot this movie in Hong Kong, even Wen Yingguang, deputy general manager of Huanyu, took the stage in person and worked as a producer and producer.

Huo Yaowen followed Wen Yingguang and came to a tent temporarily set up by the crew, and when he saw Spielberg still fiddling in front of the camera, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "How is Steven's shooting? I said that the environment here is very beautiful." ”

"That's right, Mr. Evan, the environment is really beautiful, and I really like the people in your company, they are almost always able to meet my requirements. Spielberg heard the movement and looked back to see that it was Evan, an investor, author and screenwriter.

There is still a big gap between the geography of Hong Kong and Hawaii, so in order to better cooperate with the shooting, Spielberg also required the props team to arrange a large number of plants and trees suitable for tropical growth in the surrounding environment, such as palm trees, rubber trees, shrubs, etc.

Originally, according to Spielberg's idea, he would buy some directly and ship them to plant, but the prop masters in Hong Kong proposed to make fake trees and plants.

After a few days, Huanyu's prop masters quickly produced a large number of tropical plants and trees that were realistic enough.

Even if it's a close-up shot, you can't see any difference, which makes Spielberg admire it very much.

"Steven. ”

At this time, two blonde foreigners, a man and a woman, walked in outside, the two of them saw someone in the tent, and looked curiously, one of them was Wen Yingguang, they knew and knew that it was the producer of the movie, but the other person was relatively unfamiliar, but it seemed a little familiar.

Spielberg introduced: "You came at the right time, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Evan Hoe, the original author of this film, and also the investor. ”

"It turned out to be the famous Mr. Evan, I said why did you just look so familiar. ”

The man smiled and held out his hand, "Hello Mr. Evan, I'm Clint Eastwood." ”

Clint Eastwood!

The actor who filmed Red Dead Redemption.
