145 [Royal Sister Starts Shooting]
At the beginning of October, the preparations for "Royal Senior Sister" have been completed, and we are just waiting for Hiroyuki Sanada to come from Japan to start filming. As for filming in Japan and Thailand, Kang Jianfei is ready to go after filming the Hong Kong scene, anyway, just make up a few shots.
Hiroyuki Sanada is still in Hong Kong, and the invitation to the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards ceremony arrived first. Kang Jianfei's "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" were both shortlisted, "Happy Ghost" was nominated for only one Best Feature Film Interlude, but "Mr. Zombie" was nominated for four awards: Best Feature Film Editing, Best Feature Film Cinematography, Best Feature Film Director and Best Feature Film.
The evaluation and promulgation of various film awards in various countries in the world are all boring. Kang Jianfei didn't have the slightest thought about the Golden Horse Awards, but he didn't expect to get so many nominations at once. After receiving the invitation letter, Kang Jianfei sighed with emotion, the Golden Horse Award is really a conscience award.
Hey, I like it!
But don't nominate a lot of people and you won't get a single award, that's fun.
The Golden Horse Awards ceremony is still early, and there is still more than a week to go, Kang Jianfei is busy making movies, and he can only take the time to go back when the time comes.
Before the start of filming, Pan Yingzi and Ma Qiao had a total of more than 4.6 million Hong Kong dollars in sponsorship, which greatly reduced the cost of the film. After the movie is finally filmed, the money from Oriental DreamWorks will probably not exceed 10 million.
On October 7, 1980, Hiroyuki Sanada finally arrived from Japan, and the third film directed by Kang Jianfei was officially launched.
At the start-up ceremony, Oriental DreamWorks dispatched almost all of the company, except for the administrative and operational staff. Kang Jiaban and the Raptors stunt team were also all present. The momentum is much bigger than the last time I filmed "Mr. Zombie".
The starring role of "Royal Senior Sister" is the same as that of Hiroyuki Sanada and the original, and the other actors Kang Jianfei have almost changed. For example, one of the leading actors, Wang Minde. This person is still staying in the United States, where do you ask Kang Jianfei to find it? So Wang Minde's role. Kang Jianfei starred in person.
The reason why Kang Jianfei comes out to be an actor in every movie is not because he has thought about the addiction of movie stars, but mainly to save money and convenience.
Like the three bosses of Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Shi Tian in New Arts City, they not only participate in all aspects from the script to the shooting of each play, but also often play the leading role and important supporting roles in the movie, which not only saves the trouble of finding actors, but also saves a lot of budget.
In addition, two of the four villains are from Oriental DreamWorks. Among them, Li Jiading played the villain who died on the plane. And Yu Yuan Wen (Immortal) played the one who blew up Hiroyuki Sanada's wife and children. Chen Huimin and Jin Xingxian are still playing their original roles, Chen Huimin is just a cameo and dies after appearing for a while, while Jin Xingxian plays a heavier role, killing Kang Jianfei in the play, and fighting Lin Qingxia and Sanada Hiroyuki in the most difficult battle.
After worshipping God in Kangjiaban, everyone rushed to Kai Tak Airport together.
The first scene was filmed on the plane, but the gods were not allowed to be brought into the airport, so everyone had to worship the gods before rushing over.
Hiroyuki Sanada is very handsome. Very handsome, but Kang Jianfei doesn't care about his appearance, he cares about his Chinese level. Because at this time, Sanada Hiroyuki couldn't speak Cantonese at all. I also have an interpreter with me.
In such a short period of time, Sanada Hiroyuki naturally could not learn to speak Chinese, so he could only re-dub later.
After entering the airport. Under the strict constraints of airport staff, the crew was given the right to shoot in a specific area. Not on the plane yet. Kang Jianfei asked Zhong Zhiwen to scan a camera on the plane and take a picture of the airline's logo.
The aircraft is Cathay Pacific. The original version of "Royal Sister 2" did not have this shot, and Kang Jianfei was added to the pure fragment in order to attract sponsorship.
In addition to the regular crew, there are more than 30 extras on the plane to play the passengers on the plane.
"Mr. Chen, you will sit here later," Kang Jianfei said to Li Jiading again, "Brother Ding, you come in from here later, pull out a gun and point it at their heads......
There was nothing to arrange the scene on the plane, and after getting on the plane, Kang Jianfei commanded everyone to take their seats.
Chen Huimin was wearing a suit, but if he went there casually, he would have the smell of a gangster. Although Chen Huimin's appearance in the play is only a few minutes, it cannot be ignored, and he is the only one who has the full energy of this kind of big man.
Kang Jianfei invited Chen Huimin, not only to film, but also to take the opportunity to connect with Hong Kong associations. This incident in Taiwan made Kang Jianfei wake up, although he has not encountered this kind of thing in Hong Kong, it is better to prepare early.
Chen Huimin is not just an actor at this time, this guy has practiced Tan family boxing and Western boxing since he was a child, joined 14K at the age of 16, applied for the police at the age of 17, and was transferred to be a prison guard because he was under the age of 18, and later became a police officer.
A few years later, the police discovered Chen's gang identity, and he fired him. Since then, Chen Huimin has started to be a full-time gangster, relying on his good skills to make a 14K double-flower red stick, when Kimberley Road in Tsim Sha Tsui was directly called "Chen Huimin Street" by the people on the road.
Eight years ago, Chen Huimin represented Hong Kong in the Southeast Asian boxing tournament and won the Muay Thai champion to win the championship, so he was taken by the director of Shaw Brothers and asked him to make a movie.
At first, Chen Huimin was not interested in making movies, but later the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and 14K was severely cracked down, so Chen Huimin reined in his ferocity and often filmed to make extra money.
This Chen Huimin used to be a 14K person, and now although 14K has begun to decline, it is still one of the three major gangs. And Chen Huimin also has a good relationship with Xin Yi'an, so Kang Jianfei plans to invite him to be the head of the security department of Oriental DreamWorks.
This so-called security department is actually only Chen Huimin, and he usually doesn't have to go to work, but is only responsible for finding someone to coordinate and solve the trouble after the company has a dispute with someone on the road.
Chen Huimin nodded, indicating that he understood Kang Jianfei's arrangement, and stretched out his hands to let the crew handcuff him.
In this scene, two Hong Kong policemen went to Japan to extradite Chen Huimin, but the plane flew in mid-air, and Chen Huimin's brother hijacked the plane to save people.
Lin Qingxia plays the royal policewoman who comes back from a trip to Japan, Hiroyuki Sanada is a Japanese hot detective who is about to retire, and Kang Jianfei plays the escort of the plane. After the death of two policemen escorting the criminals, the three of them temporarily cooperated and took out the hijackers in a thrilling way.
This is also the beginning of the whole story, after getting off the plane, Kang Jianfei began to chase Lin Qingxia, while Sanada Hiroyuki was about to return to Japan, but on the day he left, Sanada Hiroyuki's wife and daughter were killed by the hijacker's accomplices, and the story began......
"Am I sitting here?" Hiroyuki Sanada asked the translator to ask.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Yes, you sit here, and Miss Lin Qingxia sits on the opposite side of the aisle." When you're fighting, you just stretch out your feet and trip the enemy as the script says......"
Kang Jianfei explained a lot with great difficulty, before turning to Lin Qingxia and saying, "You have no problem, let's take our time and shoot little by little." ”
"No problem, it's the first time I've starred in an action scene, and I'm a little bottomless." Lin Qingxia said with a smile. Her long flowing hair has been cut off, and she now looks more heroic and capable than before.
This time, Zhong Zhiwen finally became the director of photography, directing the camera crew to start arranging the camera position. In fact, Zhong Zhiwen has a lot to do with this play, because in another time and space, Zhong Zhiwen is the chief director of "Royal Sister 2", and Du Qifeng is just his deputy, serving as the director of the second group.
It started as a literary drama, and Lin Qingxia was very good at this, but she needed to talk to Sanada Hiroyuki in Cantonese. Both of them followed the script's lines, but neither of them could understand what the other was saying, and they had to make various smiles at first.
Fortunately, Hiroyuki Sanada has good acting skills, and he can also use the Cantonese pronunciation that the translator temporarily taught him to lip-sync, and the median value is NG twice.
The next thing is to fight, all Lin Qingxia's action scenes, basically Yang Qingqing is the stand-in to fight first, and then Kang Jianfei will see the effect again, and let Lin Qingxia tie the wire to make up a few actions.
It was filmed until the afternoon, and when it came to the plane, the window was broken.
In order to appear realistic, a plastic sheet was placed on the outside of the plane, and dry ice was used to create fog in the plastic cover, which made it look like high-altitude clouds outside the window when shooting inside the plane.
Then a few blowers were arranged in the plane, and Li Jiading and Lin Qingxia fought under the wind.
The two blowers were close to Li Jiading, and the camera also took a close-up of his face, only blowing Li Jiading's face into wrinkles.
"Ha Luha, it looks so uncomfortable!" Lin Qingxia said with a smile.
Kang Jianfei said: "That's how filming action scenes. By the way, your waist is fine, right? ”
"It's okay, it's much better." Lin Qingxia said that in order to be realistic, there was a shot in the morning, which she made herself, and jumped up with a scissor leg by the pull of the wire. The shooting went smoothly, and I was OK after doing it twice, but when I fell, my waist hit the plane seat.
The scene in the entire plane was filmed for a day and a half. During this period, Lin Qingxia made rapid progress and quickly touched the essentials of filming action scenes, while Sanada Hiroyuki also adapted a lot, and also learned a few short Cantonese sentences.
When the shooting was finished, the captain of the Cathay Pacific plane came in and looked at it, and his face immediately turned green.
The paint had fallen off in several places on the plane, and the two seats had been stabbed with knives, which was nothing. The most terrifying thing is the storage room, where Luo Lixian got a bomb, the tin cabinet containing drinks was completely deformed, and the various objects and walls of the storage room were also scorched black by the gasoline flames that exploded.
After Chen Huimin's scene was filmed, he took Kang Jianfei to visit a certain big man in 14K that night, and invited people from New Ngee An to dinner the next day, and finally took care of it.
