891 [Patriotic Gift Film]
"Who else!"
Feng Xiaogang bared his teeth and swept his gaze with a vicious expression, and several actors who played police officers lowered their heads in unison.
Chen Hong, who was wearing a cheongsam, stood up, the tight red fabric outlined her good figure without concealment, and her slender waist and round buttocks made the man look bloody.
Chen Hong clasped his arms to his chest and glanced at the police chief in disgust: "Hmph! ”
Feng Xiaogang pointed at Chen Hong and said righteously: "Such a beautiful woman, just because he spat on the ground, you arrested him here." Is there still a royal law?! Is there still a law?! You directors have to give me the face of the crocodiles, he can't be the director without our crocodiles, you ...... so much"
With a bang, Feng Xiaogang kicked the smoking kettle on the stove away, and happened to fall on the policeman lying on the ground.
"Ahh The police let out a pig-killing scream.
"Ahh Feng Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of phlegm to the policeman.
The police subconsciously dodged, Feng Xiaogang rushed over and kicked him twice, and scolded: "You still dare to hide!" How dare you hide! ”
"Click! This is good! Kang Jianfei gave a thumbs up to Feng Xiaogang, and personally went over to pull up the policeman who was drenched with "boiling water".
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Kang!" The actor who played the policeman didn't expect Kang Jianfei to pull him up personally, and the resentment of NG six times in a row instantly dissipated, and regardless of the reddened skin, he nodded at Kang Jianfei and thanked him vigorously.
The reason why he repeated the shooting six times before he could get through is because Kang Jianfei took this beginning of the film into a long shot, and there could be no flaws in the middle.
Feng Xiaogang and Kang Jianfei are relatively familiar, so they didn't be polite to him, lit a cigarette and said: "It's really hard to fool me when I shoot your film, I'll make a cameo, and I'm not a professional actor, you have to get me a long shot." ”
"For the sake of effect." Kang Jianfei turned around and shouted, "Prepare for the next scene!" ”
The opening scene of "Kung Fu" made many changes when it was actually filmed. For example, at the kind invitation of the dean of the opera, the filming location was temporarily changed to the Xiong Fo West Building of the school, and the actor of Feng Xiaogang's mistress was also replaced by Chen Hong - Chen Hong asked for a cameo on a whim, and the original actor was kicked aside by Kang Jianfei.
As for the next scene where the Axe Gang ambushed Feng Xiaogang, Kang Jianfei took it to the Bund to film, and the traffic police would help stop the car and stop people at that time, so as to make room for Kang Jianfei to shoot.
"Good!"
When the three shots of the police station were finished, Vice Minister Zhang of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee applauded first, and other officials, teachers and students also applauded.
The opening ceremony was held in the morning on the campus of Shangxi, and local officials, teachers and students of the school came to watch. Journalist of the Haige newspaper.
That Deputy Minister Zhang was also funny, he disappeared after watching the boot ceremony, and when Kang Jianfei finished filming the police station, this guy came out of nowhere, and eagerly led everyone to applaud.
"Mr. Kang deserves to be an international director, and he filmed so well!" Minister Zhang held Kang Jianfei's hand and praised him.
Kang Jianfei was speechless to this official master, Lao Tzu's scene hasn't been cut out yet, you can see that it's a bad fart! However, he didn't bother to explain, and introduced: "Minister Zhang, this "North. Feng Xiaogang, director of "Beijing in New York". ”
"It turned out to be Director Feng, hello, hello!" Minister Zhang was slightly surprised. He only thought that Feng Xiaogang was an ordinary actor, but he didn't expect that he was also a director. North. "Beijing in New York" was popular all over the country a while ago, and Feng Xiaogang, as its director, can already be called an artist, enough to drink and have a relationship with local officials. Of course, Feng Xiaogang's level is far worse than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and the latter two can eat wherever they go.
"Hello Minister Zhang, please take care of it in the future!" Feng Xiaogang didn't dare to slack off, his little steel cannon temper hadn't grown yet, and he was still in the stage of pretending to be a grandson everywhere.
Vice Minister Zhang smiled: "It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon, let's go eat first." ”
Kang Jianfei didn't want to entangle with this official, but the other party was so enthusiastic that Kang Jianfei really couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "It's okay to eat, it's okay to drink, and there is still work in the afternoon." ”
"If you don't drink, just eat something," Vice Minister Zhang introduced the two people around him, "This is Lao Li and Lao Yuan of Shanghai Film Studio, everyone is engaged in art, and we have a good chat during dinner." ”
Most of the crew members went to the school cafeteria, Kang Jianfei only took a few people to eat with the officials, as for Zhou Xingchi who didn't play today, he stayed in the hotel to rest.
It wasn't until dinner that Kang Jianfei figured out why Vice Minister Zhang kept pestering him, it turned out that this product was asking for help.
Next year will be the 45th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Municipal Propaganda Department and Shanghai Film Studio want to make a film as a gift for the National Day. The leaders are not satisfied with all kinds of plans, they are all the kind of main theme movies that are destined to lose money and make money, I heard that Kang Jianfei, a patriotic director, appeared on him. Hai, this Deputy Minister Zhang wanted to ask Kang Jianfei to come up with an idea.
"Director Kang, you are an internationally famous director, and your views on movies must be unique," Vice Minister Zhang first put a high hat on Kang Jianfei, and then continued, "We have repeatedly discussed with several comrades from Shanghai Film Studio, and there are only some plans that come and go, either the War of Resistance against Japan or the War of Liberation." This kind of film is very good at film studios, "Southern Expedition and Northern War" and "Railway Guerrillas" were filmed by them, but the problem is that the audience doesn't like this kind of war film now. Therefore, we want to ask Director Kang, a big expert, to help us make a patriotic movie that the masses like to see and conform to the main theme. ”
Kang Jianfei instantly understood the thoughts of these people in front of him, next year is the 45th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is estimated that many film studios across the country will make tribute films. If you want to stand out from the crowd of tribute films, you must make a film that is eye-catching, and preferably applauded by ordinary people.
But this is really difficult, because the movie must conform to the main theme, and the content must also praise the martyrs, this kind of film has been made badly for decades, and it is difficult to come up with new tricks.
Kang Jianfei's mind was racing, and he suddenly thought of a movie, he didn't say it immediately, but turned his head and asked Feng Xiaogang: "Director Feng has any good ideas?" ”
Feng Xiaogang is also scratching his ears and cheeks, and the National Day gift movie is easy to shoot. For example, if it is made into a film that praises great men like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", how many people will watch it when it is really filmed? After watching it, how many people really think it looks good?
In another time and space, although "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has a super high box office of more than 400 million, people who know a little bit know how absurd and ridiculous the box office is.
What appeals to ordinary people about that movie is its star-studded audience. Not to mention the foreign nationality of the star, the salary is very disgusting, and the reputation is that it is a patriotic performance with zero pay, but in fact, no one dares to ask for a salary at all.
With a box office of more than 400 million, the group package tickets of various units across the country account for a large part, and if it is filmed according to the normal star salary, this movie will not even be able to get back the cost.
It's called a patriotic film, but the ticket price doesn't love the people very much, and even cuts the people a bit (the highest ticket price in the same period). If it is a national public welfare project, it would be better, but this is a commercial film operated by independent capital, which plays the card of patriotism, first deducts the remuneration of the stars, disrupts the normal market remuneration structure, and then cuts the fat of the people, exposing the ambition of the giant crocodile to accumulate money. And in the end, it won the praise of the leaders and made a lot of money, which was really luxurious.
Ahem, it's far away! To make an influential patriotic film like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", you must have a background like China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Studio is obviously not qualified enough, and it does not have that appeal and deterrent power to stars.
"I can't think of this for a while." Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said.
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked, "Minister Zhang, what do you think of making a spy war movie?" ”
"Spy warfare? The spy war movie of "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp"? Director Li of Shanghai Film Studio asked.
"There are some differences," Kang Jianfei said, "and the plot of the story is probably like this: in 1942, on the Double Tenth Festival, the Wang puppet government held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Nationalist Government, and an important member of the Wang puppet government was shot dead, which attracted great attention from the Japanese side. Takeda, the head of the Japanese secret service, suspected that this series of assassinations was planned by the underground leader of the GC Party, Lao Gun, and hoped to seize this opportunity to crack his organization. Takeda found out that the old ghost who was in charge of sending the instructions was lurking in the bandit suppression headquarters, so he took the five suspects who were most likely to have access to the telegram to the closed Qiuzhuang ......"
Kang Jianfei told the plot of "The Wind", he couldn't remember some details clearly, but he still heard everyone here amazed, who would have thought that a spy war drama could be made into a suspense film. And this kind of plot is very novel, not as preachy as the previous main theme films, and ordinary people will definitely like it when they watch it.
"Minister Zhang, Director Li, the name of the film I just mentioned is "The Wind", which was actually an idea I had a few years ago, but I never made it," Kang Jianfei said, "I hope that this film will be co-produced by Shanghai Film Studio, Oriental DreamWorks and Feizhi Film and Television Company, and the overseas distribution of the film will be entrusted to me." ”
"Of course, this is no problem, but the name of the film studio should be listed first." Director Li immediately stated that he made this tribute film mainly to complete the political task.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Of course, without the factory logo of the film studio, this movie can't be released." ”
Vice Minister Zhang was even more whimsical and said, "Why don't Mr. Kang direct this movie?" ”
"My director's salary is very expensive." Kang Jianfei politely refused.
Feng Xiaogang said with a smile: "I'm afraid there are few companies in the world that can afford to hire Director Kang, and his worth is at least a few million dollars for others to direct." ”
Minister Zhang was a little stunned when he heard this, millions of dollars were too much, he could only laugh.
Kang Jianfei pointed at Feng Xiaogang and said, "I think Director Feng is good." ”R1152
