On February 8, 1980, Fang Jianhui did not start filming "The Sixth Sense" immediately, but returned to Xiangjiang.
It is naturally important for him to put down his work and rush back to Xiangjiang in his busy schedule. Yes, it's important, he's going to meet his parents.
According to Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia's arrangement, he will go to see Zhong Chuhong's parents during the Spring Festival this year, and he will meet Lin Qingxia's parents next year. How they discussed, Fang Jianhui did not participate, he only needed to implement the resolution of the two ladies. It is said that the reason for this arrangement is because Lin Qingxia is still in the process of treating "emotional injuries", and it is inconvenient to return to Taiwan at this time, so he asked him to meet Zhong Chuhong's parents first. This is the reason on the surface, as for whether there are other reasons, Fang Jianhui is unknown.
Back in Xiangjiang, there are two things that are more important, one is that in the new year, the price of movie tickets in Xiangjiang has increased, from 7 yuan to 8 yuan. The second is that the double-line joint screening of "Home Alone" was painted under the Angel Cinema, but Anle Cinema will continue to be screened, and the Angel Cinema Line will take over "Lin Shirong" directed by Yuan Heping, to be honest, take "Lin Shirong" to face off against Golden Harvest's top brand Fang Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", Fang Jianhui is not optimistic. In addition to not being able to beat others at the box office, it may also leave a bad impression on the top management of Golden Harvest: Hong Jinbao, the star of "Lin Shirong", and Fang Long, the star of "Senior Brother", are brothers, and they are both Golden Harvest people, and these two films were released at the same time, which can be regarded as a civil war between senior brothers.
Sure enough, after meeting everyone in the crew of "Lin Shirong", Hong Jinbao found an opportunity to come over and apologize to Fang Jianhui and said that he might not be able to cooperate with Angel Pictures in the future, because the senior management of Golden Harvest talked to Hong Jinbao and euphemistically advised him not to participate in the production of Angel Pictures in the future, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed if there would be a situation like this fighting between brothers and sisters.
"I understand your difficulties, and I won't make it difficult for you. Fang Jianhui patted him on the shoulder in understanding and said, "If you are unpleasant over there in the future, you are always welcome here." ”
Being patted on the shoulder by Fang Jianhui, who was nine years younger than him, Hong Jinbao did not feel uncomfortable, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, I will remember."
When he saw Yuan Heping, Fang Jianhui directly said to solicit: "Eighth Master, are you interested in joining Angel Pictures?" This is a rare talent: Yuan Heping, Career 1: Director, Ability: 79, Career 2: Martial Arts Instructor, Ability: 94, Future Title: Gold Medal Martial Arts.
"Don't dare to be, Mr. Fang just call me big-eyed. "Yuan Heping is very modest, but then again, now few people can be proud in front of Fang Jianhui, although Fang Jianhui has only made two movies, but a Xiangjiang champion, a global champion, the achievements are beyond reach. Not to mention his net worth of hundreds of millions, he is firmly among the top richest people in Hong Kong.
Faced with Fang Jianhui's solicitation, Yuan Heping hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Thank you Mr. Fang for your kindness, but I still want to set up my own company to film." ”
"It's good to set up a company, and you can come to me if you have any difficulties. "Fang Jianhui is very personable.
"Definitely, thank you, Mr. Fang. Yuan Heping expressed his gratitude.
On February 17, the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Jianhui drove to Zhong Chuhong's house in a low-key manner.
Since hearing from her daughter that her boyfriend is Fang Jianhui, who is famous in the city, the old couple has felt a lot of pressure. What kind of person is Fang Jianhui? What a young man, what a talent, what a lot of wealth, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother have been calloused when they hear this name recently, and they never dreamed that he would become their son-in-law. So when the daughter solemnly emphasized in front of the whole family that absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not to tell outsiders about this, the whole family almost immediately expressed understanding.
After Dad Zhong and Mother Zhong saw Fang Jianhui, they were more nervous than him, a hairy son-in-law. The two kept talking: "The place at home is too small. "Are you still used to drinking tea?"
Fang Jianhui called "uncle, aunt" in his mouth, and distributed a large package of various gifts to Zhong Chuhong's younger brothers and sisters, what necklaces, jewelry, rings, watches, clothing, shoes and hats were the same, and the Zhong family brothers and sisters were dumbfounded. He took out some health care products and nutritional products bought from the United States, saying that he wanted the old couple to take care of their health.
Finally, when Fang Jianhui took out the key and said that it was an apartment near Sheung Wan, the Zhong family really realized that their lives were about to change.
Giving away an apartment was the result of his discussion with Zhong Chuhong, and now the Zhong family's residence is indeed a little cramped. As for why it is not a more advanced villa, it is not that he is reluctant, but Zhong Chuhong feels that it is too ostentatious, and it will have a bad impact after being known by the media. Fang Jianhui not only sent an apartment to Zhong Chuhong's family this time, but also sent a set to Lan Jieying and Zhu Baoyi, whose family conditions are not very good, in the name of the company's good efficiency this year, and the year-end reward for artists who have made greater contributions to the company. Although the Lan family and the Zhu family were surprised, they still happily accepted it.
Fang Jianhui stayed in Zhong Chuhong's house for a long time, and let the Zhong family treat him as their own, and the younger brothers and sisters of the Zhong family called him 'brother-in-law', which was also very smooth.
After the official visit, a few days later, on February 20, Fang Jianhui gathered his royal team: Yu Rentai, Zhang Shuping, Du Kefeng and others, and came to the United States again.
This time in the United States, Fang Jianhui's first task is naturally to shoot "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", followed by participating in the 52nd Academy Awards, although there is little hope of winning the award, but walking the red carpet once can Teresa Teng's faith rise by more than 2 million, of course he will not miss this kind of good thing.
There are very few characters and scenes in this film, even less than "Home Alone".
Fang Jianhui didn't want to waste time in auditions one by one, and directly used the "little summoning technique" to find a little boy actor with extremely high acting requirements. Although this little actor and the protagonist of "Home Alone" are about the same age, their requirements are completely different, the former asks for melancholy and helplessness, while the latter asks for cunning with a little evil spirit.
After using the skill, it didn't take long for the clue that Matt Damon, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was the right person. He immediately sent someone to contact him, while he himself went to find the supporting actress in the film, the mother of the little boy in the film.
After searching for Hollywood actresses of comparable age, he chose Aunt Meryl Streep. Aunt Mei is not beautiful, but her acting skills have reached an astonishing 97, let her play this supporting actress, firstly, there must be no problem in acting, and secondly, Aunt Mei is now popular, she won the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards in January, and she is also the most vocal at the upcoming Oscars, using her as a supporting actress can add a selling point to the movie.
After contacting Aunt Mei in person, Fang Jianhui came to the door in person, explained his intentions, and handed the script to her. After reading it, Aunt Mei immediately expressed her willingness to join, because the script is so good that an actor doesn't want to miss it.
Deal with Aunt Mei, Matt Damon's children also have good news, Matt's family heard that this movie was filmed by the director of "Home Alone", and without saying a word, they happily brought the child over.
On February 25, "The Sixth Sense" officially started in Los Angeles, starring Fang Jianhui (as Dr. Malcolm), Matt Damon (as the little boy Cole), Meryl Streep (the little boy's mother), as usual, Yu Rentai as the assistant director, Zhang Shuping as the art director, Du Kefeng as the cinematographer, and supplemented by the staff of Angel Pictures (USA).
Once the film is turned on, the progress is fast, the three main actors are all acting skills, and Fang Jianhui, as the director, is even more familiar with every shot. The most important idea of this movie, and the various details that permeate the whole film, are all familiar to Fang Jianhui.
On March 6, it only took nine working days for "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" to be officially completed. It took another day, Fang Jianhui got the editing and soundtrack, etc., and the movie was finally produced.
After Fang Jianhui once again predicted the final North American box office to Andy Murphy - no less than 200 million - Andy went to the distributor again.

When Fang Jianhui returned home, Hei Mu Tong greeted him and took his coat. As soon as Fang Jianhui sat down on the sofa, Deng Lijun naturally snuggled in his arms.
Teresa Teng is the oldest among her women, but she is the most sinister, and she wants him to hold her if she has nothing to do. However, her round baby face and gentle voice made this kind of snort not seem to be inconsistent at all, and Fang Jianhui was also enjoying it.
Today, Teresa Teng arched a few arches in his arms, adjusted to a comfortable position, and told him a news: Taiwan Island contacted her and said that she could go back to Taiwan Island!
Fang Jianhui was stunned for a moment, and then Lin Qingxia on the side took over and explained to him in detail:
It turned out that in January last year (1979), the Chinese mainland established diplomatic relations with the United States, and Taiwan and the United States severed diplomatic relations. At this time, Teresa Teng was detained for entering RB with an Indonesian passport, and she unfortunately became the target of the people of Taiwan Island to vent their grievances. The media and public opinion are criticizing and writing, and the Taiwan government has also said that it must be held accountable, and in this case, Teresa Teng has no choice but to avoid the United States.
Now I guess I want to see that Lijun is not only unaffected, but also participating in the Golden Globe Awards, and her fame is getting bigger and bigger, so I want to hug my thighs again. Lin Qingxia was indignant.
"The most important reason should be that the mainland has begun to open up to the outside world. Fang Jianhui muttered: "Although there are no official channels, the influence of Sister Liyun's songs in the mainland is amazing. ”
He touched Teresa Teng's hand, and continued: ""The Moon Represents My Heart" and "He Rijun Will Come Again", these songs have spread wildly on the mainland through various underground channels, and they can't help it. If you go to the mainland to open a concert or something, Taiwan really can't afford to lose this person. ”
Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "You're right, when the Taiwan Island side sent a message to Lijun, she was definitely not allowed to go to the mainland to perform." ”
"Ignore them. Fang Jianhui said: "It's them who are anxious now, not us." He has always been full of longing for the mainland in his heart, and that is more than a billion people! It is far from being comparable to that of Taiwan Island and Xiangjiang. When the mainland is fully opened, how much will the faith of his women rise?
"Do you dare to put forward conditions!?" Fang Jianhui kissed Deng Lijun in his arms, and said disdainfully: "When my Lijun dominates the billboard and sweeps the Grammys, let them kneel and beg you to go back." ”
"Don't talk too much. Teresa Teng said with a smile. "Billboards and Grammys are not so easy to enter, I have inquired, so far, no singers from the United States, Britain, Australia and other English-speaking countries have entered the billboard. ”
"How can you look like a man without difficulty?" Fang Jianhui was full of pride. "I've made the movie too, and the next job is to take you to record. ”
