232 [To the Mainland]
When the new art city Mecca and others speculated about Kang Jianfei's new film, Kang Jianfei had already taken people to Feibei. Kyo plane.
In the past, Kang Jianfei's movies had been hyped in advance before filming started. But this time, from the moment the filming plan was made, Kang Jianfei was deliberately concealing the news, and only Pan Yingzi and Zeng Zhiwei, the two heads of the production department and the artist department, knew the specific situation in the company.
It's not that Kang Jianfei is pretending to be mysterious, but he has to keep a low profile, otherwise if the Taiwan authorities know that he is going to the mainland to make films, he will definitely be directly disqualified from participating in the Golden Horse Awards this time.
"Shaolin Temple", which was filmed by the mainland actor and Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company, is now in post-production. The film, which took half a year to cast and another half a year to shoot, was to be released in both Hong Kong and mainland China in January 1982.
Kang Jianfei knew what kind of sensation this movie would cause, so he wanted to take advantage of the east wind of Shaolin Temple to make a movie for Li Lianjie.
Two months ago, Kang Jianfei had already drawn the drawings by himself and secretly sent Li Jiading to the river. Set up a scene at the foot of the South Shaolin Temple. At the same time, he contacted Zhang Ling of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office and asked Qi Bo to go to Yun. South Lijiang Old Town, part of the filming location will be determined.
Various costumes and props needed for filming have also been made and shipped to the mainland by train in advance.
Kang Jianfei pinched the time very tightly, and by the time he finished producing this play, it was almost past the Lunar New Year. At that time, the screening of "Shaolin Temple" in Hong Kong was coming to an end, and Kang Jianfei's new film for Li Lianjie could be promoted and released while "Shaolin Temple" was released, and it happened to be a chūn festival.
At that time, the right time, place and people are everywhere, and as long as the distribution is done properly, the box office will definitely be high.
I want to ask Kang Jianfei what film he is going to make?
Jin Yong's novels are well-known in Hong Kong, and the most familiar schools in the novels are naturally Shaolin and Wudang.
Kang Jianfei wants to take advantage of "Shaolin Temple", so the best choice is to make a movie with the theme of Wudang, plus Li Lianjie is the protagonist, then the result is self-evident - "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".
When it comes to sword and martial arts films in Hong Kong after the 80s, "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" can definitely rank in the top three, and no matter how bad it is, it can also rank in the top five.
In order to echo "Shaolin Temple" in the future release and publicity, Kang Jianfei added two words to the original title, and what he wanted to shoot was "Wudang: Taiji Zhang Sanfeng".

On the plane, Wen Bixia leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder, looked at the flight attendant on the other side, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that the Communist Party on the mainland is very fierce, and as long as you say the wrong thing, you will be arrested and shot as a spy." ”
Wen Bixia is going to play the role of Xiao Donggua, that is, the role played by the original Yuan Jieying. Among the contracted actors of DreamWorks, only Li Saifeng and Wen Bixia are the most suitable for this role, but this time they are going to the mainland to make films, and if they are exposed in the future, maybe the main creators will be banned by the Taiwan authorities. Li Saifeng is now very popular in Taiwan, and it would be too cost-effective if he was blocked, so Kang Jianfei decided to pick Wen Bixia.
Hearing Wen Bixia's question, Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Who did you listen to?" ”
Wen Bixia said seriously: "From childhood to adulthood, the adults around me have said so." ”
Kang Jianfei then remembered that Wen Bixia grew up in Tiaojingling. From the 50s to the 80s, Tiu Keng Ling was the anti-G base of the Taiwan authorities in Hong Kong, and naturally they all spoke ill of the Communist Party.
Kang Jianfei was about to help Wen Bixia correct her perception of the mainland, when the flight attendant had already pushed the cart over and asked, "Comrade, what drink do you want to drink?" ”
Kang Jian flew into the car to take a look, good guy, there are still Moutai wine and Chinese cigarettes, is there any service in this bunker.
"Two glasses of juice." Kang Jianfei smiled at the flight attendant. Although the flight attendant's uniform is rustic, her temperament and appearance are very good, and she can already score 80 points.
In the back row of Kang Jianfei and Wen Bixia, they are Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci, sisters and brothers, and they will also play important roles in the film.
Hui Yinghong plays the female number one, that is, Qiu Xue played by Michelle Yeoh in the original version of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng". If it is purely for the box office, in fact, this role is the most suitable for Lin Qingxia to play, but I am still worried, I am afraid that Lin Qingxia will be embarrassed by the Taiwan authorities when she goes to the mainland to make films, so she finally let Hui Yinghong be the heroine.
In addition, this role sè has a very heavy martial arts role, which needs to show leg skills, double knives and boxing skills, and Hui Yinghong, who was born as a woman, obviously has an advantage over Lin Qingxia in this regard. In addition, after Hui Yinghong signed with DreamWorks, she has never played an important role, and this time she just made up for it.
As for Hui Yinghong's brother Hui Tianci, he plays the first villain of this film, Tianbao, and his role is even heavier than Hui Yinghong's female number one.
Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci have grown so big, and it is the first time they have returned to the mainland. After the plane took off, I kept looking down through the window of the plane excitedly, until the window was completely replaced by clouds, and finally retracted my gaze.
"Fifth sister, this time I went to the mainland to shoot a movie, what if I am blocked by Taiwan?" Hui Tianci asked with some concern, his voice was very low, for fear that Kang Jianfei in front of him would hear it.
Hui Yinghong comforted: "These Mr. Kang will think about it, and we don't need to worry about it." ”
Hui Tianci said: "Of course I'm worried, Taiwan is the box office warehouse of Hong Kong films, and if we are blocked by Taiwan, no one will ask us to make films." ”
Hui Yinghong said: "These Mr. Kang can't think of it? If he is banned, his losses will be greater than ours. ”
In the early 50s, the distinction between the left and right factions of Hong Kong films was not obvious, such as Shaw Brothers' films were sold in Taiwan and the mainland at that time, and the box office in the mainland market was much higher than the box office in Taiwan.
However, the mainland's movement later spread to the film industry, and the mainland only allowed the films of a few companies such as Great Wall and Phoenix to be released on the mainland. Taiwan immediately set up the zìyóu association, and all companies that joined the zìyóu association could sell films to Taiwan, and since then there has been a clear distinction between left and right films.
If it was ten years ago, Kang Jianfei's behavior of going to the mainland to make films, once discovered by the Taiwan authorities, would have entered the blacklist of the zìyóu association, and from then on, all DreamWorks films could not be sold to Taiwan.
But now the Taiwan authorities have apparently relaxed their control in this regard, and last year a Taiwan-mainland co-production was released in Hong Kong, and it was filmed in the desert. As a matter of fact, as long as there is no political or specific place name involved, and it is simply framing, the Taiwan authorities will basically turn a blind eye.
Of course, this "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" will never be released in Taiwan within five years, because Li Lianjie is the leading actor. If Kang Jianfei is stupid enough to take "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" to the Taiwan Electrical Inspection Office for review, then he is killing himself, and there is no room for negotiation at all to ban DreamWorks.
In fact, if the mainland lowers the entry threshold for films now, Kang Jianfei would rather be banned by the Taiwan authorities than choose the mainland. For example, although "Royal Sister" sold nearly 40 million Taiwan dollars at the box office in Taiwan, the box office that DreamWorks can get is less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. If it were the mainland, DreamWorks would definitely make more money than that.
It's a pity that the mainland's film control is too painful, and many films can't be released in the mainland.
In the other seat, Wu Mengda was sleeping soundly, this guy was going to play Ling Daoren, so Kang Jianfei also ordered him to lose weight for a month.
Yang Qingqing, the only female xìng in the Kang family class, used to be a stand-in for the heroine, but this time she can finally show her face. Although she didn't play much of the sister of Father-in-law Liu, the two scenes were enough for her to enjoy.
In addition to the main actors, there are more than a dozen behind-the-scenes crew members on the plane, all of whom are the old team who followed Kang Jianfei to shoot "Royal Senior Sister". Some time ago, DreamWorks expanded its staff again, and now it can shoot three films at the same time, and "Little Fear" and "City Patrol Horse" in Hong Kong are also being filmed.
After flying for a few hours, the plane was finally in the north. Kyo landing.
As soon as he got off the plane, Kang Jianfei saw a row of people picking up the plane. In addition to Li Lianjie, there is also the mountain I saw last time in Hong Kong. Yu Hai, the head coach of the Eastern Wushu Team, and Zhang Ling from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council/Academy, and several others met for the first time.
After the crew got off the plane, Zhang Ling, who was wearing a Mao suit, took the lead in coming over, warmly held Kang Jianfei's hand and said: "Welcome Hong Kong compatriots back to the motherland to film!" ”
Kang Jianfei smiled and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, thank you for the help of the motherland, otherwise I wouldn't be able to shoot this time." ”
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you." Zhang Ling's attitude this time was more enthusiastic than last time, and the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency had informed the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of Kang Jianfei's acquisition of Lishi's shares, and the attention of the people in the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office to Kang Jianfei immediately increased greatly. There are now only two television stations in Hong Kong, and if Kang Jianfei can really master one of them, then as long as they cooperate with the mainland and publicize the mainland's positive image, their public opinion work in Hong Kong will be much easier.
Zhang Ling pulled Kang Jianfei over and introduced the other personnel one by one, but those unfamiliar faces were a few colleagues from Beijing Film Studio, and this time they were assigned by their superiors to help Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei took a closer look, but still didn't find any familiar faces, as for Lao Mouzi, they are all studying in school now, and they are not qualified to come over and follow Hong Kong compatriots to make movies.
Zhang Ling pulled a man in a tunic and said: "This is Xiao Chen of our Hong Kong and Macao Office, this time he will accompany Mr. Kang to film with him throughout the whole process, if there are any difficulties that need to be solved by our Hong Kong and Macao Office, Mr. Kang, you can find Xiao Chen." ”
Xiao Chen is about 30 years old, he looks very gentle, a Han jiān hairstyle is shiny, he held Kang Jianfei's hand and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Kang, my name is Chen Mo." ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Hello, hello, I want Comrade Chen Mo to help me a lot in the future." ”
