Cheng Long threw his crutches aside, walked over cautiously, and said to Binny, who was fighting? Yuquedez and Prayut said: "You are making a movie, not a fight. Prayuth's feet should be raised high, so that they look better in the camera. And Binny, I must kick the target accurately. It's not quite enough, but it's more comfortable to look at in the camera......"

Although he can't film in person for the time being, Cheng Long, as the action director of this film, has no time to rest. In fact, his feet were no longer in serious trouble, but Cai Yongchang insisted that he raise them for two more days, not only that, but he actually got Cheng Long a crutch.

Kang Jianfei is still continuing to direct the shooting, but Lin Qingxia and Sophie are not far away? Marceau was having a good time. may be because there are too few women in the crew, and they naturally get together after filming, and it only takes one day to become good friends.

Sophie? After Marceau's debut, the Golomon Film Company she signed with consciously cultivated her, among which teaching English is also one of the training courses. Marceau is now communicating in English.

"You've made more than seventy films?" Sophie? Marceau looked at Lin Qingxia in surprise and exclaimed, "It's amazing, how can you make this multiple movies?" ”

Lin Qingxia leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Kang Jianfei, who was directing in the distance, and said: "After suddenly becoming famous, many directors came to invite plays, and at that time, I was young and didn't know how to refuse, so I made more than ten films in a year. ”

Sophie? Marceau couldn't imagine how an actor could act in more than a dozen movies a year, and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "If it were me, I would probably go crazy." Are you still so busy? ”

Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "Now that you can shoot up to three dramas a year, when a woman is older, she has to take care of herself more, otherwise she will age quickly." ”

Sophie? Marceau said seriously: "Miss Lin, you are very young. And my skin is much more delicate than mine, I really envy your Oriental skin. ”

"Don't be humble," Lin Qingxia was quite happy to be praised by the little girl, and she said with a smile, "There are a lot of your fans in Taiwan." ”

Sophie? Marceau didn't even know where Taiwan was, and she asked curiously, "Is Taiwan far away from Japan?" There are people watching my movies so far away. ”

"It's not far from Japan," Lin Qingxia said, "When "First Kiss" was released in Taiwan, it caused a big sensation, and many young people regarded you as the lover of their dreams. ”

Sophie? Marceau said happily: "If you have the opportunity in the future." I definitely want to travel to Taiwan. ”

Lin Qingxia smiled: "Okay, I'll be your tour guide when the time comes." ”

Sophie? Marceau got up and asked for two bottles of mineral water, threw one to Lin Qingxia, and then raised her head to drink it, she looked at the martial arts actors who were doing the same action repeatedly. and the dragon set that was dragged and kicked away, and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect filming action scenes to be so hard." ”

Lin Qingxia played with the bottle cap boringly. said: "It's very hard. I also have to get injured often, and I can be so tired that I fall asleep after filming a day. ”

Sophie? Marceau pointed to Kang Jianfei, who had just shouted "Ka", and said, "Is Mr. Kang very famous in Asia?" I found everyone in the crew to have a lot of respect for him. ”

Speaking of Kang Jianfei, Lin Qingxia couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course he is famous, and he is a genius director in Hong Kong. And a lot of weird nicknames. ”

"Strange nicknames?" Sophie? Marceau asked.

Lin Qingxia said: "It's like a 'disaster movie director' or something." ”

Sophie? Marceau asked, "He also made disaster movies?" ”

Lin Qingxia explained: "The director of a disaster film means that the film he directs is a disaster for other directors. As long as it is a movie released at the same time, it will be squeezed out of the box office by the films directed by him. ”

Sophie? Marceau was speechless in surprise. She didn't expect Kang Jianfei to be so powerful.

While the two beauties were chatting, an Asian man walked over quickly and walked directly in the direction where Cheng Long was.

"Cuong, why are you here?" Cheng Long looked at the man in surprise.

The person who came was Cheng Long's friend Chen Ziqiang and agent, and it was Chen Ziqiang who recommended Cheng Long to Luo Wei in the first place, which gave Cheng Long a chance to get ahead. After Cheng Long was poached by Jiahe, Luo Wei was angry with Chen Ziqiang, the recommender, Cheng Long was still righteous, and he brought Chen Ziqiang into Jiahe as an agent.

"I heard that your foot hurts, so I rushed over to take a look." Chen Ziqiang looked at Cheng Long's feet with concern.

Cheng Long patted Chen Ziqiang's shoulder with emotion in his heart and said, "It's just a little injury." ”

"Don't be so desperate in the future," Chen Ziqiang persuaded, "By the way, Alin can't leave to make a movie in Hong Kong, so ask me to come and visit you on his behalf." ”

The "Alin" in Chen Ziqiang's mouth is Qin Xianglin, Cheng Long first met Chen Ziqiang through Qin Xianglin, and then was introduced to Luo Wei by Chen Ziqiang, and the relationship between the three is very good.

Chen Ziqiang pulled a stool and sat down, lit a cigarette and said, "I originally planned to come back after a while, but since I came, I'll tell you, Boss Zou is going to release a record for you." ”

"Another record?" Cheng Long immediately recalled the painful experience of recording songs more than two years ago.

Chen Ziqiang explained: "In the past two years, your movie interludes, theme songs, and the theme songs of this drama you are filming now, Boss Zou is going to make these songs into an album. ”

Cheng Longmo calculated the time and said: "Wait until the movie is finished and then record the song, Christmas is almost over at that time, is Mr. Zou going to let me release a record for the New Year?" ”

Chen Ziqiang nodded, shook off the ashes of his cigarette, and asked, "How is it, do you feel uncomfortable working with that genius director?" ”

"It's okay," Cheng Long also pulled the bench and sat down, "Mr. Kang respects my opinion. ”

Chen Ziqiang glanced at the crutches next to him, and couldn't help but smile: "Who got it for you?" ”

Cheng Long took the crutches over with a smile and said, "Who else can there be?" Of course it's Uncle Chang, who actually got me a cane when he got his feet. ”

Chen Ziqiang wanted to tease a few words, but suddenly his face changed, and he stood up and shouted: "Stand still!" ”

Before Cheng Long could react to what was going on, he saw that Chen Ziqiang had already chased after him, and a person in the distance turned around and fled.

"What's going on?" Kang Jianfei walked over and asked.

Cheng Long shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do. ”

Kang Jianfei asked again: "Who is the person who caught up just now?" ”

Cheng Long said: "My agent Chen Ziqiang. ”

"Oh, it was him." Kang Jianfei has long been familiar with Chen Ziqiang's name, this person is not only the producer of films such as "Myth", "Song of Long Hatred", "Shinjuku Incident", but also the agent of Zheng Yuling, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Manyu, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Guxian, Liang Chaowei, Leung Jiahui, Zhang Aijia, Carina Lau, Liu Qinroll, Wu Junru, Zhao Yazhi and other big stars in another time and space.

A few minutes later. Chen Ziqiang returned to the crew out of breath, and Cheng Long hurriedly asked, "Ah Qiang, who were you chasing just now?" ”

"Remember...... Huhu, journalist ...... The reporter was taking pictures just now," Chen Ziqiang gasped and slowed down for a few seconds before continuing, "I pounced on his mother, ran so fast, and disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”

Cheng Long said: "Just shoot, it's not a big deal." ”

Chen Ziqiang pointed to the crutches and said, "You forgot? You just had a cane in your hand, okay! ”

Cheng Long's face changed. said: "Those reporters shouldn't go back to scribbling, right?" ”

"Needless to say? It must be Cheng Long who was injured on crutches during filming, and maybe he will write that you are disabled," Chen Ziqiang said angrily, "These dead people are actually coming to Italy." ”

"Alright. Just help us promote the movie. Kang Jianfei persuaded with a smile, he thought that these reporters definitely did not come to shoot Cheng Long. Most of them are in Rome to run errands and stop by to take a few photos. Just like Qin Xianglin and Teresa Teng were photographed by reporters traveling to Rome together a few years ago. It was also pure bad luck that I happened to meet a Taiwanese journalist who came to Rome on business.

……

……

Three days after the candid filming incident, a tabloid in Hong Kong really revealed the news that Cheng Long was injured while filming a new film, and it was suspected that he had broken his leg due to a fall, and now he had to rely on crutches to walk.

As soon as this news came out. The newspaper's sales really increased significantly, and many of Cheng Long's fans even called Jiahe for verification.

Zou Wenhuai, who had been prepared for a long time, took the opportunity to hold a press conference to clarify, and by the way, he also promoted "Deadly Express". And some of the crew's photos. It was also published in Ming Pao and Oriental Daily in the following days.

These photos aroused great interest among readers, such as Cheng Long and Zhou Billy squatting together eating a boxed lunch, Kang Jianfei leaning on the director's chair and taking a nap, etc.

Among them, Lin Qingxia and Sophie? The photo of Marceau sitting together eating ice cream attracted the attention of the Taiwanese media, and the "China Times" actually came to Golden Harvest and DreamWorks to buy photos.

Suddenly, this movie, which has not yet been completed, has become a topic of discussion among many citizens.

Golden Harvest Pictures, General Manager's Office.

Zou Wenhuai threw a cigar to He Guanchang and asked, "What's going on over there in Rome?" ”

He Guanchang said: "Except for Aaron's injury, everything else is going well. However, Yongchang called and said that I was afraid that the budget would have to be increased, and it would be too expensive to shoot abroad. ”

Zou Wenhuai asked, "How much is the budget?" ”

He Guanchang replied: "Maybe the shooting budget will be more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help frowning, 50 million Hong Kong dollars is a sky-high price for Hong Kong films, but when converted into US dollars, it is more than 6 million, and it is not as expensive as the "Cannonball Speed" invested by Golden Harvest a few years ago.

But what makes Zou Wenhuai unhappy is that "Deadly Express" did not invite any European and American big-name stars to star, like Sophie? Marceau, a girl star, Zou Wenhuai doesn't think it's so famous.

didn't invite top stars, so where did the budget of 50 million Hong Kong dollars go?

Zou Wenhuai was dissatisfied with this, he felt that Kang Jianfei's filming was a bit too expensive. If it weren't for Cai Yongchang's clear calculation of every account, Zou Wenhuai would even suspect that Kang Jianfei would have profited from it.

The budget of 50 million is actually not spent, Kang Jianfei's director salary is 5 million, Cheng Long's actor salary is 5 million, and Lin Qingxia's actor salary is 2 million. The salaries of the three main creators alone can scare people to death, and 12 million is enough to make seven or eight low-budget movies in Hong Kong.

However, since I have chosen to cooperate with Root Dream Factory, it is useless to regret it now. Zou Wenhuai is not that kind of small person, he changed the topic and said: "Xichang, I came to you today, not for the sake of "Deadly Express". Sir Shao has already revealed the rumors and is ready to sell the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. ”

He Guanchang nodded: "I heard about it too." ”

Zou Wenhuai asked, "Do you think we should buy it?" ”

He Guanchang pondered: "The current layout of the Golden Harvest Cinema Line is very good, I don't think there is any need to rob the theater anymore, Sir Shao will definitely not sell it cheaply." ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "If we don't buy it, someone will definitely buy it." I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be another golden princess or a new era. There is one more competitor in vain. ”

He Guanchang said with a smile: "How can the theater line be so easy to do, Lei Juekun is rich and Kang Jianfei is talented, which supports Princess Jin and the new era, and if others are replaced by others, they will have already finished playing by themselves." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." Zou Wenhuai sighed.

……

……

"What? You told me to buy a cinema! Pan Disheng looked at Cen Jianxun in surprise.

Cen Jianxun nodded and said: "Shaw Brothers wants to sell the theater chain, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that this kind of good thing will not happen again in ten or twenty years." ”

The reason why Pan Disheng opened a film company is just to use movies to promote his brand, and by the way, he just wants to make a profit in the prosperous Hong Kong films. How could he have thought of opening a cinema company?

"I'm afraid it costs a lot of money to buy a theater chain, right?" Pan Disheng asked.

Cen Jianxun analyzed: "If it was a few years ago, it would definitely be too expensive to frighten people to death." But now that Hong Kong's political situation is unstable, land and property are plummeting, although Hong Kong films are becoming more and more profitable, but cinemas are not as valuable as they were three years ago. If you make a move now. Tens of millions can win most of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, if you wait for another two years for the negotiation to end. At that time, it would take at least one or two hundred million. ”

Let Pan Disheng invest millions to make a movie, and he can get it. If he buys a theater for tens of millions at every turn, he can only turn to his father for help.

Pan Disheng shook his head and said: "I think it's better to be safe, we haven't even officially established a film company, and it's a little early to talk about acquiring theaters." ”

Cen Jianxun is still instigating: "Mr. Pan, even if we don't make movies ourselves, judging from the current development trend of Hong Kong films." Opening a cinema chain company for at least ten years is a sure way to make a profit. ”

Pan Disheng still didn't want to take the risk, and said: "I don't know much about running a theater chain, so let's make two movies first." ”

Cen Jianxun could only sigh secretly, although he saw the huge opportunity in it. But not to mention the acquisition of the entire cinema chain, he has no money to buy one of the small cinemas.

Walking out of the Pan family's villa, Cen Jianxun suddenly felt that there was no future for following Pan Disheng to open a film company, because this Mr. Pan's mind was obviously not on the movie, he was more concerned about his watch shop.

Cen Jianxun, who was originally determined to resign from DreamWorks and start a company with Pan Disheng, suddenly hesitated.

……

……

"Click! Again! Kang Jianfei's head lifted from behind the camera, "Aaron, try to relax and stretch your body away." ”

"I'll try again." Cheng Long felt a burst of heat in his palms, and when he raised his hand, he saw that there were already blood marks.

The current shot is very difficult, requiring Cheng Long to quickly climb from the ground to the second floor with his bare hands, and then climb to the balcony on the third floor and jump to another building.

In the first few shootings, Cheng Long barely managed to do this, but the action was not as smooth as Kang Jianfei imagined.

To put it bluntly, what Kang Jianfei wants Cheng Long to do is future parkour.

Kang Jianfei put down the guide tube, walked over and said to Cheng Long: "I'll demonstrate, you look at it carefully." ”

Cheng Long was a little surprised, because most of the action scenes these days were made by him, Kang Jianfei not only made a special request today, but actually demonstrated it himself.

Not only Cheng Long, but as soon as the crew members heard that the director was going to show his hand in person, they ran over to watch enthusiastically.

Kang Jianfei took a deep breath, and the three runners suddenly jumped up and stepped on the protrusion of the wall. As his body rose with the help of his body, his right hand had already reached the railing on the second floor, and then he flipped over like an ape hanging from the railing.

Kang Jianfei didn't pause at all, after going up to the second floor, he stepped on the railing and jumped, already stepped on the window sill on the second floor, and soon went to the balcony on the third floor. Then it was a run and jump, landing on another building and tumbling and unloading, completing the whole set of movements without pause.

Cheng Long swallowed his saliva, Kang Jianfei's actions just now scared him, because these were a set of actions that were to be shot in three shots, and they were actually completed directly by Kang Jianfei in one go.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The crew applauded in unison.

Sophie? Marceau pointed to Kang Jianfei upstairs and asked Lin Qingxia, "Chinese kung fu?" ”

Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "It's kung fu." ”

Sophie? Marceau innocently asked, "It seems that all Chinese know kung fu, will you?" ”

Lin Qingxia smiled: "Not much." ”

Billy Chou, Prayut and Bentley? The three boxing champions of Yuquedez were also dumbfounded, where had they ever seen such a vigorous skill?

Not to mention the actions made by Kang Jianfei, it is the video of those parkour experts in later generations, and those who see parkour for the first time will also feel that it is amazing.

Beanie? "He's definitely going to do kung fu," Yuquidez said. ”

Hollywood action star Charles in his 60s? Bronson exclaimed, "That's not kung fu, this guy is a superman, even more agile than a monkey." ”

In the following time, Kang Jianfei spent more than half an hour teaching the essentials of dragon parkour. Cheng Long is already agile, and some of his previous movie actions are somewhat similar to parkour, so he is very quick to get started.

It took another half an hour, and Cheng Long finally finished filming the set of shots just now in stages, and after Kang Jianfei shouted, this guy seemed to be a little unfinished.

Like Kang Jianfei's movie concept, Cheng Long is not very interested, but he is very excited about learning parkour, and feels that this is another great ability to eat in the film industry. (To be continued......)
