850 [Future Red Star]
A week after the Spring Dinner of the Directors Guild, Kang Jianfei handed over the script of "Changing Face" that he had personally revised to Wu Yusen, and asked him to start forming a crew to prepare for the film. ∏∈∏∈,
Jurassic Park was undoubtedly the biggest winner at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, winning six awards for Best Score, Best Art Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture.
In addition to "Jurassic Park", there are two other films that are quite popular at this year's Academy Awards, namely "Ruan Lingyu" directed by Kwan Jinpeng and "Caged People" directed by Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Manyu won the Academy Award again for her wonderful performance in "Ruan Lingyu". "Caged People" only won the Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor awards because it lost to "Jurassic Park".
In addition, Yuen Yuyi, who was born in Hong Kong, won the Best Newcomer Actor Award unsurprisingly. As a newcomer, she made a total of 5 movies and 3 TV series last year, of which she played the heroine in 4 of them, and her performance was extremely eye-catching among the actresses.
It's a pity that such a newcomer with a strong limelight actually signed a brokerage contract on TVB. After Yuan Yuyi became popular, the wireless station actually dragged her back to shoot a TV series, wanting to use her fame to increase the ratings.
Now Anita Yuen is in a stalemate with TVB, but fortunately, her three-year contract with that side is about to expire, and it won't take long to regain her freedom.
……
In Japan, Sakai Izumi's new album "Winter Love Song" has been released for a month and a half, with sales of 570,000 copies in the first week, and cumulative sales have easily exceeded 2 million, ranking first in the album sales chart for three consecutive weeks.
The world's second-largest record market is different. Hong Kong can sell 400,000 copies, and Japan can sell 500,000 in the first week. Like in the past, when Sakai Spring Water Records sold for more than 200,000 yuan. The sales volume in the first week was more than 10,000 copies, and the market gap was incomparable.
Ai Hui Music has refilled the Japanese lyrics for SHE's first album "Superstar". Now the three girls are recording songs in Tokyo. Kang Jianfei originally planned to open her buds on Xu Ruoxuan's 18th birthday, but this matter was also stopped because of SHE's trip to Tokyo.
On the Hong Kong side, Wen Bibian, Lan Jieying and Ye Zimei were successively made belly by Kang Jianfei, and they were raising their babies at home one by one to give birth.
Kang Jianfei, who has just made a sci-fi blockbuster, is ready to play with an alternative personality in the new film, and chose the supernatural thriller "The Sixth Sense", which can be regarded as opening up the genre for Hong Kong films.
This genre has always sold poorly in Hong Kong, and few directors will go to great lengths to make them. But with Kang Jianfei's current box office appeal, filming a piece of can guarantee the box office. He has the qualifications to be wayward.
The script for "The Sixth Sense" has been written during the Spring Festival, and the immediate thing to do is the casting work.
For the role of psychiatrist Mai Jie, Kang Jianfei has decided to let Huang Qiusheng play it. After this guy followed Kang Jianfei to film "God of Gamblers", he has been silent for ten years, and his acting skills have been almost sharpened.
The mother of the little protagonist naturally asked Zhong Chuhong to play it, and she didn't make second considerations in public or private, Zhong Chuhong is very suitable for starring in this type of film.
As for the actor candidate for the little protagonist, Kang Jianfei never found a suitable one, and finally decided to have an audition. The requirements are also very simple: 8-10 years old, male or female, smart and clever.
As soon as the news of Kang Jianfei's new film going to audition for young actors came out, it was not only a sensation in Hong Kong. Even the media in Taiwan have reported it. Lin Qinglong has to receive more than a dozen registration materials every day, so much so that Kang Jianfei had to expand the scope of the audition to Taiwan to repay the enthusiasm of Taiwanese fans.
Taiwan's "United Daily News" wrote: "Kang Jianfei after "Jurassic Park". He is already one of the most iconic figures in the Chinese world, and his every move has great influence. This audition. Not only have countless Taiwanese parents signed up with their children, but even families from Nanyang and South Korea have flown to Hong Kong for this purpose......"
The audition audition in Taipei was conducted by Yu Huanping and Lin Qinglong. On the day of the audition, the scene lined up in a long line was spectacular.
In the end, Hong Kong and Taiwan each selected 10 candidates, and these 20 children will gather at Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to be auditioned by Kang Jianfei himself.
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
20 children were brought by their parents and gathered in the No. 3 Administration Building of the Film and Television City. The children looked curiously and seemed to find the experience very interesting, but their parents were extremely nervous.
The auditions were about to start, and a middle-aged man brought a little girl in, and the parents of other children were looking sideways.
"That man looks like Lin Zixiang."
"Isn't it, Lin Zixiang also brought his daughter to audition?"
"Does Lin Zixiang have a daughter?"
"Lin Zixiang should know Director Kang, and most of them will be his daughter."
“……”
Other parents talked about it, and the reason was very simple, that is, the man who came last was too much like Lin Zixiang.
Finally, a parent couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Excuse me, is it Mr. Lin Zixianglin?" ”
The man smiled: "My surname is Cai, and my name is Cai Weicheng." ”
As soon as these words came out, the other parents finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was not Lin Zixiang himself.
The little girl Cai Weicheng was holding chuckled: "My father is Lin Zixiang, he lied to you." ”
"Naughty!" Cai Weicheng patted the top of his daughter's head dotingly.
The little girl playfully stuck out her tongue and grimaced at the adults around her.
"No. 1, Zhang Luoluo's child!"
The staff suddenly shouted, and immediately a parent led his child into the audition.
Kang Jianfei did not announce the results immediately, but gave gifts to each child who participated in the interview, and then asked them to go home and wait for news.
About 40 minutes later, the staff shouted again: "No. 12, Cai Zhuoyan's child." ”
Cai Weicheng immediately took his daughter in, and found that there was only one auditioner, Kang Jianfei, and hurriedly taught his daughter: "Ayan, call Uncle Kang quickly." ”
Cai Zhuoyan smiled sweetly: "Uncle Kang, you are so beautiful. ”
But his eyes carefully looked at the little girl in front of him, and it was really similar to the girl in his memory.
Kang Jianfei didn't give the script a title for them to memorize the performance, he said to Cai Zhuoyan at the moment: "Children, the neighbor's cat broke your vase, your father thought you broke it, no matter what you say, your father doesn't believe it, you are aggrieved and sad, you come to perform a show." ”
Cai Zhuoyan stood there stupidly looking at Kang Jianfei, obviously not knowing how to start.
Kang Jianfei had no choice but to let her father play with her, Cai Weicheng squatted down to explain to his daughter, and then asked with a straight face: "Ayan, did you break this vase?" ”
"No, it's the neighbor's cat." Cai Zhuoyan shook her head, but there was no aggrieved expression on her face, and her eyes were still secretly looking at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm not the neighbor's cat, what do you think I do?" ”
performed it again twice, and under her father's patient explanation, Cai Zhuoyan finally found a little feeling, pouting and wanting to cry aggrievedly.
"Okay, that's it for the show, you guys go back and wait for news," Kang Jianfei smiled at their father and son, and then said to the staff, "Next." ”
Cai Weicheng left the film and television city with his daughter, and Cai Zhuoyan asked, "Dad, can I act in a movie?" ”
"I don't know, Uncle Kang told us to go back and wait for news." Cai Weicheng truthfully told his daughter. He doesn't expect his daughter to be selected like other parents, and if it weren't for Cai Zhuoyan making a fuss about coming, he wouldn't have signed up for his daughter.
Cai Weicheng is a small businessman with a good income, who has spent several years in Canada, and his daughter Cai Zhuoyan was born in Vancouver. After divorcing his wife, Cai Weicheng returned to Hong Kong with his daughter alone, and since kindergarten, Cai Zhuoyan has attended the best school in Hong Kong.
Cai Weicheng never thought of cultivating his daughter into a star, because the probability is too low, it is more realistic to teach his daughter to do business, and he doesn't think that if he becomes a child star in Kang Jianfei's movie, he will definitely become popular when he grows up.
After returning home, Cai Weicheng forgot all about the audition. But a few days later, he actually received a phone call: "Hello Mr. Cai, I am the casting director of the crew of "The Sixth Sense". I am glad to inform you that your daughter Choi Joo-yeon has successfully auditioned......"
"You're not kidding, are you?" Cai Weicheng thought that he had heard it wrong, his daughter was already 10 and a half years old, and she almost exceeded the age limit set by Kang Jianfei, but she didn't expect to be selected.
The staff said: "I'm not kidding, I hope Mr. Cai will do his best to bring his daughter to Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to sign a performance contract." ”
Cai Weicheng was still surprised, and Kang Jianfei also encountered something that surprised him: Taiwanese film dealers, who have always regarded Hong Kong filmmakers as the God of Wealth, actually rebelled collectively this time! (To be continued......) uR1071
