St. Mangar's Kindergarten, Kowloon Tong.

Wu Yi walked in with a ruthless face, and the dragon suit that played the kindergarten teacher was grabbed by the collar and thrown aside.

"Cry, scream!" Wu Yusen motioned to the kindergarten children to cry.

According to the setting of the plot, the children in the classroom should collectively panic and scream at this time, and then rush to escape from the door. But the most difficult thing to do when making a movie is children's play, not to mention dozens of children, only to see some children crying and running away, some curiously looking at the camera, and some still laughing and laughing, and the mess can't be filmed at all.

"Click!" Kang Jianfei stood up from behind the monitor and said to Wu Yusen, "Take the one in yellow clothes, and the girl, there is another one over there, yes, and that ...... These children acted well, let them into the camera when they ran away for a while, and remember to give them more rewards after filming. Forget about the rest of the children, just shoot the footage of the game, and pay attention to the editing later. ”

Kang Jianfei immediately made the most reasonable choice, otherwise he would teach these children to act one by one, and it is estimated that this scene would take ten days and half a month to film.

After Kang Jianfei's order, assistant director Wu Yusen immediately called several children together, and then discussed with Zhong Zhiwen how to design the lens and running position, and Li Lizhi, the scene reporter, recorded the situation in the field notebook.

Twenty minutes later, filming resumed.

Wu Yi walked over angrily and threw aside the teacher played by Long Tao, and several obedient children ran away screaming. At this time, Qi Hong placed a bunch of snacks at the door of the classroom, beckoning to the children in the classroom, and suddenly all the children ran towards the snacks, causing a visual effect of collective escape.

Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi wore pig-head masks, ran away in the group of children with their short bodies, and were blocked by the villain Wu Yi.

"Click." Kang Jianfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, prepare for the next one." ”

The next thing to be filmed is a fight scene, and the action director is one of the leading actors, Huang Shrimp. Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda stepped aside to rest, and replaced with two Kang Jiaban martial arts who were about the same size as them, and no one could recognize them with their hoods anyway.

The action scenes in "Love Saint" don't need to be too gorgeous and exciting, but the funnier the better, and designing these funny fighting actions is what Yellow Shrimp is good at.

Kang Jianfei deleted the spoof scene of chasing the wedding car at the beginning of the original film, and then there were several additions, deletions, and minor changes. For example, the number of burlesque scenes at this time has increased a lot.

And in the original film, there is another loophole here that cannot be called a loophole, that is, it is not reflected in the fact that a pig-faced headgear will be worn on the head of the villain.

Kang Jianfei naturally wants to fill this loophole, and he has to make it up just right.

I saw that Wu Yi would be beaten by Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi's Wang Baquan, and Wu Mengda threw the hood. Pulling Zhou Xingchi and saying, "Hurry up." ”

"Wait a minute," Zhou Xingchi took off the pig-face hood from his head. Put it on the villain who was beaten to the ground. He punched two more punches and said, "Hit you with a big pig's head!" ”

The next scene is the little brother played by Cheng Kuian coming in and asking Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda: "What about the pig's head that hit my brother just now?" ”

Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda glanced at each other, and then pointed to the villain together.

The No. 2 villain played by Cheng Kuian grabbed the villain played by Wu Yijiang, smashed it with a punch, and roared: "You dead pig's head." How dare you beat my brother! ”

Filming was temporarily stopped, and the props team brought over the suit puppets that had been prepared for a long time. The camera focuses on the puppet's elbow for a close-up, and Cheng Kuian smashes it down with an elbow, beating the puppet's arm into an obvious "fracture". And then the other side.

The scene in the kindergarten was only filmed for two and a half days, and the whole drama was basically completed, as long as you found a building to shoot a few more shots.

After the scattered footage was finished, it was late April, and the whole shooting process took 32 days, leaving plenty of time for post-production.

Most of the crew was liberated, and only Wu Yusen and Li Lizhi stayed behind to assist in the cutting. Especially Li Lizhi, who is the scene reporter, he is the person who is most familiar with each shot in the crew, and his participation can greatly speed up the editing speed.

Unlike the original emergency production of "Home Alone", the filming and post-production of "Love Saint" were slow, and Kang Jianfei did not even participate in the editing, but only put forward his own opinions on the woolen film after the initial cut.

Where did Kang Jianfei's energy go?

One is Ye Zimei, who has just gotten into bed, and the other is the Miss Oriental beauty pageant that is about to close for registration.

"Boss, this is today's newspaper." Zeng Bolin came in with a large number of newspapers, each of which had already been turned to a certain page in advance.

"Miss Hong Kong's beauty pageant age limit is discriminatory against women? 》

"Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant Allows Minors to Participate"

"Feminists Support Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant"

"Two Matchups, Who Will Be the Beauty Pageant Champion?" 》

……

The entertainment pages of every newspaper have discussions about this year's beauty pageant, although most of them are not headlines, but their popularity is very high.

As a new event that has just been held this year and has not yet ended registration, the Miss Oriental beauty contest has taken a lot of advantage in this public opinion trend and has made itself famous.

Of course, this fame is extremely controversial, and many people laugh at the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. In particular, some people with ulterior motives seized the loophole that the Miss Oriental beauty pageant has no age limit, and vigorously attacked the organizer Phoenix Channel to trick underage girls into signing up for the competition for the sake of ratings.

This point is purely the negligence of Kang Jianfei and Phoenix Terrace, and with the intervention of the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government, they hurriedly added a clause "the age limit is over 16 years old". (The legal age of majority in Hong Kong at this time is 21 years old, but 16 years old can participate in some adult activities, such as marriage, with the consent of a guardian...... ）

Kang Jianfei casually glanced at the newspaper and asked, "How is the registration situation?" ”

The preparatory team for the Miss Oriental beauty pageant was jointly formed by members of Phoenix and DreamWorks TV Production Department, and Zhong Jinghui, deputy general manager of Phoenix Channel, served as the team leader.

Zeng Bolin said: "According to the statistics of the competition preparatory team yesterday, the number of applicants should be more than that of Sister Hong Kong, but it is ......."

"Just what?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Zeng Bolin said: "It's just that there is a gap in quality, and many young and beautiful women will choose to apply for Hong Kong sister when they sign up." ”

As the saying goes, although the Miss Oriental beauty pageant uses no age limit to promote public opinion to become famous, it also makes the real young beauty applicants have all their worries, for fear of being ridiculed for being in a competition with a group of aunts.

And the influence of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is there, and women who are really confident in their beauty will not hesitate to choose to sign up for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.

Therefore, on the whole, the quality of the beauties participating in the Miss Oriental beauty pageant is far inferior to that of Miss Hong Kong.

No matter how good the public opinion propaganda is, it is the quality of the beauty pageant that determines the winner or loser, because the audience is not stupid, and they know at a glance which beauty is more beautiful.

Of course, beauty is not absolute, from temperament to appearance can be packaged.

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and ordered: "You go and tell Manager Zhong and ask him to send someone to France to invite top stylists to tailor the looks for the finalists." ”

Inviting the world's top stylists to Hong Kong can cost at least millions, or even millions, a month, which is a huge expense.

At this time, in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the dressing style of the participating beauties is very rustic in Kang Jianfei's opinion, especially the makeup is even more outrageous, and a good beauty can become an aunt.

The makeup artists of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, in addition to the makeup staff of Phoenix Terrace and DreamWorks itself, also hired two famous makeup artists from Japan to come to Hong Kong at a high price.

As for the costumes and jewelry worn by the finalists, they are contacting major luxury brands in the hope of getting free sponsorship, preferably the latest and most fashionable clothing.

When the finals on both sides come out, Miss Oriental will show an international fashion style on her side, and Miss Hong Kong will be the same old style every year, and you can imagine which one the audience prefers.

After Zeng Bolin left, Kang Jianfei read the first script of "Shushan" sent by Chen Shuli again.

The script was collectively created by the screenwriting department of DreamWorks, and the various plot sections were a bit like old-fashioned martial arts novels, and Kang Jianfei frowned when he saw it. He picked up the pen and changed the script for a long time, but he only straightened out the relationship between the characters and built the overall plot framework.

In order to be able to write the script well, Kang Jianfei is basically pinching the seconds in the design, how many seconds to do the plot foreshadowing, how many seconds to have a small climax, how many seconds to make some jokes to soothe the audience's emotions, how many seconds to have a small climax, how many seconds to have an emotional drama, how many seconds to have a big climax, how many seconds to soothe the audience's emotions......

After all kinds of calculations came out, Kang Jianfei got the relationship between the characters and the plot framework right, called Chen Shuli in, and said: "Let the screenwriting department write it according to this, and bring it to me as soon as it is written." ”

Chen Shuli asked, "Boss, is there a set time?" ”

"Of course as soon as possible, Xu Ke is still waiting to ask for it." After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he picked up his coat and went out, and he had to go to the editing room to see the re-cut "Love Saint".

As for the script creation of "Shushan", I am afraid that I will have to wait for a month at the latest. After the screenwriting department writes the script, Kang Jianfei will take it in his hand to revise it again, and when the time comes, he will invite Xu Ke to change it together, after all, Xu Ke has his own unique understanding of "Shushan".

The biggest problem now is not the script, but after Zheng Shaoqiu quit the crew, there was no suitable candidate for chief swordsman for a while. However, all Kang Jianfei can do is help create the script, and the matter of choosing actors will give Xu Ke a headache, and this guy's vision for selecting actors is still very good.
