Los Angeles International Airport.

All the crew members of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" who were about to board the plane, after spending a few days in the Sonoran Desert, their skin was tanned as a whole.

Zhong Chuhong looked in the small mirror from time to time, obviously afraid that his complexion would not recover, and complained to himself: "Sunscreen is useless." ”

"Don't worry, it will turn white again in a few days." Kang Jianfei twisted Zhong Meiren's face affectionately.

"It's not good to be seen!" Zhong Chuhong slapped Kang Jianfei's hand away, she is a very generous woman, but she can't let go of this kind of thing.

After filming the scene of the American desert, the crew will be divided into two, Ang Lee led the team and Zhong Chuhong to Singapore for filming, and Kang Jianfei went to Paris for filming. Finally, I came back to Hong Kong to make up some shots, and the whole movie could be completed.

Three days later, on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

This famous international fashion avenue is very different from Kang Jianfei's impression. The scenery is very beautiful, but many ancient buildings have been damaged a lot, and it is not a traffic jam, and visitors can only enjoy the beautiful scenery in the sound of the horn.

The most speechless thing is that the picturesque walking paths on both sides of Houshi Avenue are completely chaotic roadside "parking lots" at this time, and there are all kinds of vehicles parked at random everywhere, and pedestrians have to walk around from time to time if they want to enjoy the scenery.

There have been calls in France to protect the Champs-Élysées, but after decades of shouting, a committee was finally set up a few years ago, but this committee has just begun to follow up on the damage to the Champs-Élysées, and it will take years for the real restoration and protection.

Wait until the rush hour for work is over. The crew chose a place with a little less vehicles on the Champs-Élysées and officially started filming.

Kang Jianfei was dressed casually, wearing sunglasses and leading a dog. Take a stroll under the elm trees of the avenue.

The blower blew a "breeze" that blew up the elm leaves that the crew had sprinkled on the ground. A man and a dog walked in the breeze, and the bright sunlight sprinkled through the gap in the canopy, forming a poetic halo on Kang Jianfei's body.

Just such a cool walk, Kang Jianfei walked back and forth for more than half an hour, and repeated filming many times before he was satisfied.

The next one was filmed in the Champs-Elysées round square, where Kang Jianfei led his dog for a walk to the periphery of the square. His hand was holding the dog chain in his trouser pocket. The puppy peed on a large tree, just like a normal passerby.

Suddenly, a car drove to the circular square and stopped, and a handsome Chinese and European guy got out of the car. This handsome mixed-race man carried a suitcase to a female painter in the square. said, "Draw a portrait for me." ”

"Yes," asked the French painter, "have you brought the goods?" ”

"It's all here." The mixed-race dude pushes the box over.

The female painter also pushed the painting box at her feet, and the handsome half-race guy opened the box and took a look. It's all about green dollars. Immediately close the box and get up to leave.

As soon as the handsome mixed-race guy turned around, he saw Kang Jianfei walking over with a smile on his back.

The mixed-race handsome guy subconsciously nodded and smiled at Kang Jianfei, and the moment the two staggered by, Kang Jianfei took out a silenced pistol and put it at the other party's heart.

The painting box slipped from the hands of the mixed-race handsome guy, Kang Jianfei caught it and continued to move forward, and when the other tourists found that the mixed-race handsome guy pounced on the ground, Kang Jianfei had already walked out of the square, got into the car and slipped away.

"Click!" Wu Ruiqing, who temporarily served Kang Jianfei as the executive director, shouted. The crew's filming mission in France was successfully completed.

"Cousin, I'm okay." Wu Ruiqing excitedly pulled Kang Jianfei and asked. In fact, it was the director of photography Zhong Zhiwen who was really in charge, and Wu Ruiqing just experienced being a director.

"Yes, keep up the good work." Kang Jianfei patted his cousin on the shoulder and encouraged.

Several scenes filmed in France and Singapore were not in the original film, and the reason why Kang Jianfei added it was to make the movie more reasonable.

Because in the final script, the hero and heroine belong to two international killer companies. In this way, it is impossible to stay in Hong Kong every day, after all, Hong Kong is too small to have so many targets to kill. And these assassination scenes add up to less than 4 minutes, which will not destroy the overall structure of the film, and interspersing the plot will make the story more fleshed out.

In addition to this, the film's action scenes have also completely overturned the redesign. After all, the film is mainly aimed at the Asian market, and Asian audiences prefer fights with kung fu elements, and the punch and kick scenes of American action movies are not pleasing.

Of course, the kung fu drama will not be too outrageous, and the kung fu of the hero and heroine is more inclined to modern fighting, and they can't jump three feet high by jumping off the wall.

"Hey Kang, is the shoot over?" The "female painter" in the square came over and asked.

"It's over, I'm flying back to Hong Kong tomorrow," Kang Jianfei asked, "Do you have time to have dinner together?" ”

"Of course, we're old friends." The female painter laughed.

The guest appearance of the female painter is none other than Sophie, who is 20 years old for more than half a year? Marceau, she's a lot more mature than she was a few years ago.

It can be said that Kang Jianfei invited Sophie three years ago? Marceau's filming changed the trajectory of her entire life. In another plane, Sophie? Marceau met an old man during the rebellious period, and then raised 1 million francs to redeem himself, ran to shoot some so-called literary films with a lot of passion scenes, and ruined his image of a jade girl.

If it weren't for the fact that she later took over a "Fang Fang" and became famous again, Sophie? Marceau may only be a second-rate actress who shoots passion scenes for the rest of her life, and the old Polish man who is more than 20 years older than her is the culprit.

When Sophie Marceau was 20 years old, the Polish director was already nearly 50 years old, and Sophie? Marceau is not very good, and the older he gets, the more he likes to lose his temper. Sophie? Marceau was almost a daughter, a wife, and a mother, and she took care of this old man for 17 years before breaking up, and a woman's best time was all delayed.

Three years ago an old Polish man invited Sophie? When Marceau was making a "literary film", Sophie? Marceau is on the crew of "Deadly Express" in Italy, and next is the historical drama "The Fortress of Sacana".

Thanks to Sophie? Marceau was filming Kang Jianfei's scene in Italy at the time. That invitation letter from the Polish director can only be sent to Sophie? Marceau's company, ready to put Sophie? Naturally, the company that Marceau cultivated into a generation of jade girls would not agree to the invitation of the old Polish hooligan, and directly refused on the grounds that there was no schedule.

Sophie? Marceau had no idea. The Polish director also found another actress to play the heroine, and the two never crossed paths since.

Sophie? Marceau hates the rules and regulations set by her company, what is not allowed to have a boyfriend, no nude/explicit scenes, no revealing clothes on important occasions, etc., it is simply to frame her in a cage.

But without the help of that old Polish man, Sophie? Marceau simply could not afford to pay the liquidated damages of 1 million francs. She has never borrowed from Kang Jianfei and Lin Qingxia, anyway, she has been working hard to make money and preparing to leave the company in the past few years, and she plays the same obedient girl role.

In a restaurant in Paris.

Sophie? Marceau stuffed snail meat into his mouth. He said, "Kang, your English has improved a lot. ”

"It's okay to hear it, but it's still a little awkward to say." Kang Jianfei looking for Sophie? Marceau's cameo appearance in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", mainly because he likes Sophie? Marceau's box office appeal in France. Due to the absence of old Polish men. Sophie? Marceau down for a few years. has become a goddess in the hearts of thousands of French men, and her cameo can add some French audiences to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

"By the way, isn't your contract with the company expired?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"Half a year is left to expire, and I can finally get out of that evil castle." Sophie? Marceau said excitedly.

Kang Jianfei asked, "Then what are your plans next?" ”

Sophie? Marceau said: "There is a Hollywood agency that wants me to go to the United States to develop, but I have no interest, American movies are full of copper smell, and there is no artistic connotation at all. ”

Kang Jianfei laughed in his heart, and in a few years when you are short of money to spend. You are willing to accept even those meat slices sold under the guise of art, let alone any commercial films with no connotation.

Sophie? Marceau continues: "French cinema is influenced by Hollywood. In recent years, it has become more and more commercial, and I am going to go to Italy, where directors are still insisting on art. ”

"What I see with my own eyes is ugly, but what I can't see is the most beautiful," Kang Jianfei said, chewing on foie gras, "Italy is similar to France, in fact, the whole world is the same, and most ordinary people are not interested in so-called art films." ”

"What about you?" Sophie? Marceau asked.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I am first and foremost the owner of a film company, a businessman, and I am responsible for the employees under me. So I can only make commercial films, but I will support some art directors, and my company will make at least two literary films a year. ”

Sophie? Marceau said with emotion: "You are a very enlightened boss, if my boss could be like you, I would not be thinking about leaving the company all day." They are just a bunch of villains, they even have to take care of me having a boyfriend, they use contracts to blackmail me at every turn, and they say that it is for my good and to maintain my star image. ”

"Are you sure you want to make a different movie?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"Of course," Sophie? Marceau complained, "From the time I was 14 years old to the present, I have played so many roles in comings and goings, either innocent schoolgirls or kind aristocratic ladies, and I want to vomit when I see the camera now." ”

"Then why don't I invest in a movie for you?" Kang Jianfei said.

"What kind of movie?" Sophie? Marceau asked.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "It must be different from what you filmed before." Let me roughly describe the plot: Alec, a man who is about to get married, meets Fangfang, a dancer who is lively and open, and advocates individuality, and falls hopelessly in love.

He has always lived in the water, and he has never tasted the turbulent waves of love. And Alex, who grew up in the shadow of his mother's constant change of sex partners in his childhood, stubbornly believes that sexual love will not last long, and everything will be over as soon as he gets laid, so he made a decision that he will always pursue Fangfang, but never involve lust......"

Kang Jianfei carefully recalled and narrated the plot of "Fang Fang", and some details were a little wrong due to memory errors, but he still listened to Sophie? Marceau was relishing, and it was clear that she was very much looking forward to Fangfang's role. (To be continued......)
