Chapter 77: Big Names
77
On April 2, 1982, Argentine President Tierri ordered troops to occupy the Falklands, and the Falklands War officially broke out.
The Falklands War was an important international event of the year, and its scheduled outbreak gave Fang Jianhui an important historical reference, and he knew that the war, which lasted more than two months, would eventually end with Britain winning and Argentina defeating, and would have a far-reaching impact on Anglo-Argentine relations in the coming decades.
Fang Jianhui's "Narayama Festival Examination" crew, starring Ogata Fist, Bei Xiang Mitsuko, etc., are all acting characters, and the behind-the-scenes personnel are also elite soldiers, and after the scene is ready, the filming work officially begins.
In the small mountain village of the story, because of poverty and backwardness, there is a shortage of food, so there are three cruel rules of survival handed down from the old people:
1. Only the eldest son can get married. The daughters would be sold for money or food, and the rest of the sons would not have the right to marry wives and would have to spend their lives doing chores at home.
2. Stealing food is punishable by death. All the villagers involved in the sanction will share the food of the thieves equally, so the villagers are very motivated to catch the thieves.
3. As soon as the old man reaches the age of 70, he will be carried by his son to the mountain behind the village and left to fend for himself.
The plot of the entire movie revolves around these three rules. Different from the 1958 version of the stage play, Fang Jianhui's version is all natural filming, for which the crew found a small mountain village in Hokkaido.
Soon after the filming began, the crew felt Fang Jianhui's unique personal style, such as:
Fang Jianhui is a big name, always arriving later and leaving earlier than everyone, and he is a large group of assistants, secretaries, and bodyguards at any time.
No matter how far the filming goes, for two days on the weekend, Fang Jianhui couldn't rest.
Fang Jianhui pays attention to enjoyment, and the crew conditions are not good, so he drives 2 hours a day to live in Sapporo City, and charters a very luxurious apartment in the city.
Although Fang Jianhui seems to have many shortcomings, the crew can't complain, not only because Fang Jianhui is handsome and can't be angry, but also because Fang Jianhui's talent is really amazing. He is proficient in the performance of the actors, the placement of the camera, the layout of the scene, the production and placement of props, etc., he does not say much, but he is concise and concise, and he points to the key point and makes people convincing.
The people behind the front desk, if there is any doubt or uncertainty, as long as Fang Jianhui is found, he will say a word, which makes people suddenly. Fang Jianhui also likes to draw comics, whether it is the scenes, props, composition, etc. in the movie, when the relevant personnel don't understand for a while, he often uses comics to explain it clearly after a few brushes.
Fang Jianhui came late and left early, but the efficiency is the highest, when encountering problems, it is never Fang Jianhui who is holding back, but the performance of the actors, or the mistakes of the art, costumes and props and other departments. Although Fang Jianhui is off on the weekend, the overall shooting progress is still fast because of the super high efficiency. Moreover, although Fang Jianhui lives a luxurious life and has a lot of popularity, he pays for it himself, and it is not counted in the crew's accounts, so that the partner Fang Dongying has nothing to say.
The reason why Fang Jianhui seems so extravagant is because he now essentially regards making movies as a way to enjoy life, since it is enjoyment, of course he is not willing to get up early and be tired of being a dog, he would rather shoot for a few more days and spend more money, and he can't delay his nightly get-together with his girlfriends. On the weekend, Fang Jianhui was actually accompanying his girlfriend and lovers to use the makeup box, dress up and browse the scenery of Hokkaido.
More than a month later, on May 13, after filming the last scene, the crew was finished. The group returned to Tokyo, and except for the post-production personnel, the whole crew was disbanded. Fang Jianhui spent a few more days editing and soundtrack, and the rest of the work was handed over to Toei. He told Toei that he was going to attend next year's Cannes Film Festival, and after participating in the Cannes Film Festival, he would screen it on a large scale in China.

In the past few months when Fang Jianhui has been running around, ATV has been a success:
In January, the New Year's drama "Silkworm Changes" after ATV's name change directly hit the ratings of wireless to less than 40%, forcing wireless to urgently recruit Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi and others back, and hurriedly launched "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to deal with it.
In February, "Ma Yongzhen" produced by Xu Xiaoming was launched, once again beating TVB's "Drama Boy" in the same period.
In March, the main drama series is Zhao Zhenqiang's "Flying Over the Eighteenth Floor", starring Andy Lau and Chen Xiuwen, Zhao Zhenqiang and Andy Lau were both dug by wireless, this is the first time Andy Lau has played the starring role, and it is also his famous work.
In April, Xiao Sheng's major play "Tianlong Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword" was grandly launched, and the wireless "Lucky Star Gaozhao" was launched, and the ratings could reach 30%.
Since May, ATV is broadcasting "Hero Huo Yuanjia", which for the first time raised the martial arts battle to the feelings of family and country, and for a while, the city was full of singing of "The Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River is surging".
Next, ATV also has "The Legend of the Void Bamboo in Tianlong Babu", "Xiangcheng Prodigal Son", "Chen Zhen", "Stardust" and other major plays, Fang Jianhui's goal is to use strong dramas to suppress wireless from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. To this end, he spared no expense in the production of the series, and strived to achieve excellence.
After Fang Jianhui returned to Xiangjiang, in addition to going to work at ATV every day to check in, he was patrolling various crews everywhere.
Zhong Chuhong has already released a "Beware of Little Hands" this year, and the film was screened in Angel Cinemas for three weeks, with a box office of more than 14 million, only ranking fourth at the annual box office after "Best Partner", "Young Master Long" and "Shaolin Temple" during the Spring Festival. She is currently resting, and the next thing to shoot is "Little Fear", directed by Liu Jiarong, written by Huang Baiming and Gao Zhishen, and the male lead is Alan Tam, who just won the Golden Horse Award.
Lin Qingxia has been busy with the work of "The Wrong Car", she is not only the starring role, but also the producer of this film, and there are many miscellaneous things. The film has now been filmed to the end, and Fang Jianhui agreed with Lin Qingxia in advance that he would make a cameo appearance as the boyfriend of the heroine Ami (Lin Qingxia) in the film, although there are not many scenes, but it is also an important role in the play, and there is even a bed scene.
Therefore, he took a few days to go to the crew several times to finish filming his scenes, and when filming the bed scene, although only half of his chest was exposed, it was also a relatively large-scale performance for the conservative Lin Qingxia. This is also the reason why Lin Qingxia must make a cameo appearance with him, if she changes someone else, she will definitely not do it.
After filming "The Wrong Car", Lin Qingxia will enter the crew of Xu Ke's "New Shushan Swordsman", and Li Saifeng also participated in the film, the film was launched on April 10, but it involved the construction of a large number of scenes and the production of props, and the progress was relatively slow.
Zhu Baoyi, Lan Jieying, and Li Saifeng's "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", because it is going to be screened in the summer, is currently being filmed, this is the first film directed by Wang Jin (he was hidden in the snow in "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" filmed by Shaw Brothers), he does not have high requirements for actors to make movies, and mainly laughs and laughs. So the shooting speed is fast and the atmosphere is relaxed.
This movie is Li Saifeng's screen debut, she has already talked to Zhong Chuhong and received assurances, although she has not passed the door, she has already begun to receive the monthly money issued by Zhong Chuhong. During this period of time, he was often with Zhu Baoyi and others, and he was already very familiar with Fang Jianhui's big house.
After not seeing her for a while, Fang Jianhui found that she was no longer as shy as she was at the beginning, and became cheerful and confident. Maybe she thought that sooner or later it would be his, and when she saw Lan Jieying, Zhu Baoyi and Fang Jianhui's affectionate hugs, she rushed over without hesitation.
After the three of them finished filming "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", they will star in Asia Television's "Dragon Babu: The Legend of Void Bamboo", which is supervised by Xiao Sheng, Zhu Baoyi as Wang Yuyan, Lan Jieying as Mu Wanqing, Li Saifeng as Zhong Ling, Guan Zhilin as Abi, and the actors are Zhang Guorong, Wan Ziliang, Mo Shaochong, etc., and "Tianlong Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword" Together, they are ATV's annual productions, and they are also Zhang Guorong's last drama series on ATV, Fang Jianhui promised him that after filming this drama, he would let him turn his energy to records and movies.
Ye Qianwen, who was recently returned to Fang Jianhui's room, is being taught by the Chinese teacher who invited back, and she practices Chinese at home whenever she has time, and Deng Lijun, who is basically idle at home, will teach her pronunciation if she has nothing to do.
