"Fang Fang" Kang Jianfei is ready to shoot himself, not just investment, and he is also ready to put the location of the story in Hong Kong.

The reason why he made this decision was not that Kang Jianfei thought of making a literary film on a whim, but that he had already planned to come to Sophie? Marceau.

Today, Kang Jianfei is one of the top commercial directors in Asia, and the development of DreamWorks has reached a bottleneck. The distribution networks in Europe, the United States and Australia have been initially established, but except for "Shushan", other DreamWorks films are not popular in Europe and the United States.

In the past, the first part of "Royal Sister" relied on the combination of explosions, flying cars and kung fu elements to successfully enter the North American market by mistake. But the next few sequels to "Royal Sister" have been worse than the box office in North America, to put it bluntly, that is, the freshness of the North American audience has passed.

The popularity of "Shushan" in Europe also set off a wave of Chinese fever in European countries, but then DreamWorks sold movies to Europe, but the box office was very reluctant. A film like "The Saint of Gambling" sold to France, the No. 1 box office in Europe, did not get as much box office as Thailand, so I could only comfort myself by selling a little to make a little money.

Kang Jianfei also filmed "Home Alone", which was a global hit, but when he returned to Chinese films and sold them to Europe and the United States, few fans were willing to buy his account as director of Kang Da.

Kang Jianfei wants to take Chinese films to hit the European market this time, not by relying on special effects to build up costume and monster films, but by modern literary films that European audiences like.

Cultivating a market is difficult, not just one or two blockbuster movies can be done, and it took decades for Japanese anime to gradually become accepted by readers all over the world. The Japanese government in order to promote Japanese anime. Earmarking billions of dollars to buy anime works and then donate them to the third world country is not for good deeds. The purpose is to cultivate the Japanese anime market and export Japanese culture to these countries.

Hollywood's Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have tried, and Kang Jianfei's DreamWorks has been trying to enter the North American market. However, now Kang Jianfei has decided to change his thinking, and his plan is to stabilize the Asian and Australian markets, and then slowly cultivate the African and European markets, and then enter Hollywood after gaining a firm foothold.

And the movie "Fangfang" is Kang Jianfei's first step into the French market.

First of all, this is an art film. With the French goddess Sophie? Marceau's role as the heroine, coupled with the fact that the film is really very popular with the French, it would have been very easy to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

As long as "Fang Fang" can be a blockbuster in France. Then DreamWorks will collect some Hong Kong and Taiwanese literary films in the future, and distribute them to the appetite of French audiences, so that the French people can gradually accept the faces and cultural habits of the Chinese, at least without disgust and resistance.

"I hope the film will be shot in Hong Kong." Kang Jianfei raised his glass and Sophie? Marceau touched it lightly. said, "Filming will officially start in September, when will your contract expire?" ”

Sophie? Marceau said: "At the beginning of October, after filming "First Love", I signed a five-year contract with the company. ”

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will write a script and send it to you after I go back, and you will be familiar with the script and characters first." In September, I started shooting as usual, but first I did the other roles. Come back to Hong Kong in October when your contract expires. ”

"Then it's settled." Sophie? Marceau happily drank the red wine from his glass in one gulp.

After dinner, Kang Jianfei very gentlemanly put Sophie? Marceau sent home. Then he went back to his hotel alone, and there was no super-friendship between the two.

After returning to Hong Kong, Kang immediately plunged into the post-production of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". He can't remember the soundtrack of this movie for a long time, and he can only vaguely recall a short melody, so he can only find a professional to make the soundtrack.

By the end of June, DreamWorks' first film "Tongzhi Zhongxing" in this summer's file has been released for a full week in Oriental Cinemas and Yindu Cinemas.

This historical drama, which did not appear in another time and space, due to the sufficient financial support of DreamWorks, the effect of filming far exceeded the previous two "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain".

Leung Jiahui only played a supporting role in "Tongzhi Zhongxing", the real protagonist is Cixi played by Liu Xiaoqing, and the Tongzhi Emperor is played by a little doll in the mainland.

The box office of the first part of "The Legend of Cixi" "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" in Hong Kong was 1543, and the second part of "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" released in the same year had a box office of 12.02 million, both of which entered the top ten of the annual Hong Kong film box office list in 1983.

You must know that the box office at that time was much different from the current ticket price, and it was released by Yindu Cinema at the end of September and the end of October.

Now that this "Tongzhi Zhongxing" has been screened continuously by Oriental Cinemas and Yindu Cinemas in the summer, the box office can be described as soaring. On the eve of the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the box office of "Tongzhi Zhongxing" has exceeded the 20 million mark, becoming a dark horse in the summer file.

Who says Hong Kong people only like to watch comedies and kung fu movies? As long as historical films and literary films are made at a high enough level, they can still make a big box office in Hong Kong.

The film scheduling and promotion of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were arranged by others, and in addition to recording two promotional programs, Kang Jianfei was idle. While slowly perfecting the script of "Fang Fang", he also tried to find time to accompany his more than ten women and a pair of children who couldn't walk.

is getting closer and closer to the release time of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and the beauty pageants of Sister Dong and Sister Hong Kong have also held semi-finals.

One is Zhou Hailin, who was supposed to participate in Miss Hong Kong last year, but was defeated in the semi-finals; The other is next year's Asian sister champion, Qiu Yueqing, who will become a third-level star in the future.

One of these two women stepped back by a year, and the other advanced by a year, and they both made it to this year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals.

Qiu Yueqing didn't say it for the time being, but Zhou Hailin made Kang Jianfei extremely impressed.

If Weng Meiling is the representative of Huang Rong. Li Ruotong is the incarnation of Xiaolongnu, so Zhou Hailin is the eternal Zhou Zhiruo. Since she played the role of Zhou Zhiruo, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind when they mention Zhou Zhiruo is Zhou Hailin. Even the later successful Gao Yuan Yuan version was only a comprehensive imitation of Zhou Hailin's version from modeling to performance style.

It's a pity that Zhou Hailin's call to win the championship in this Miss Oriental is not high, and it can even be said that no one is optimistic about her, if it weren't for the serious mistake of another contestant in the semifinals, Zhou Hailin would not even be able to enter the finals.

Zhou Hailin's lintel is not not beautiful, but it is too green, and even has a bit of a silly big sister taste when she laughs. If such a woman is allowed to be the champion of Miss Oriental. That undoubtedly lowered Sister Dong's style.

……

"It's not good for me to go." He Chaoqiong said as he adjusted the milk powder for his son.

Kang Jianfei teased his son Xiao Yuxin's face and said, "What's not to do? You're a high-class socialite in Hong Kong, and it's more than enough to be a judge for a beauty pageant. ”

There are still 10 judges for this year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals, and one of the judges went to the hospital in a car accident last week. Kang Jianfei couldn't find anyone for a while, so he decided to let He Chaoqiong go on top.

He Chaoqiong was under house arrest in the villa for more than half a year, and regained her freedom after giving birth, but she didn't go anywhere because she had to take care of the child, so Kang Jianfei wanted to take this opportunity to let He Chaoqiong go out to breathe.

"Oh well. I'll try. He Chaoqiong was also bored. I agreed.

He Chaoqiong took a sip of the milk in the bottle to test the temperature, and then took the child out of the crib. As soon as the little guy's mouth touched the pacifier, he immediately stretched out his little hand to hold the bottle, and kicked his two little feet happily while drinking the milk.

Kang Jianfei has machismo in his bones, and inevitably has a patriarchal mentality, at least he sees his son much more often than his daughter.

He Chaoqiong had a kind of maternal tenderness on her body at this time, Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sit down and hug her waist, and lowered his head and kissed He Chaoqiong's side cheek.

"Don't do that!" He Chaoqiong's reaction was not great. just knocked Kang Jianfei away with her elbow, obviously she was no longer disgusted by Kang Jianfei's intimate actions.

Kang Jianfei didn't get an inch. only hugged He Chaoqiong's waist and accompanied her to tell jokes to breastfeed the child.

After his son fell asleep in the crib, Kang Jianfei said, "Arjun, don't you like to listen to songs?" I brought you a gift. ”

"Zhang Guorong's new album?" He Chaoqiong guessed. Since she broke up with Chen Baiqiang, she hasn't listened to Chen Baiqiang's songs anymore, and has become a fan of Zhang Guorong.

Kang Jianfei took out a cassette tape and said with a smile: "It's not Ah Rong's, you can hear it, this album won't be released until next month." ”

He Chaoqiong curiously took the tape and looked at it, only to see that the name of this album was "Seeing the Ideal Again", and the singer was a group named Beyond.

"I remember, it was the group that participated in The Voice last year." He Chaoqiong suddenly had an impression.

Kang Jianfei hugged He Chaoqiong's fragrant shoulder and said, "Let's go to the study and listen, don't make noise until Xiaoxin sleeps." ”

"Okay." He Chaoqiong was obviously a little uncomfortable with Kang Jianfei's intimate actions from time to time, but he gradually accepted it.

The two came to the study, He Chaoqiong put the tape into the machine, and the first song was called "Wait Forever".

After He Chaoqiong listened to it for a while, she frowned and said, "I don't like this kind of song very much, it's too noisy." ”

"Keep listening." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.

The second song is "Arabian Dancing Girl", which is a pre-production of Beyond, and its style has not yet been established, and it sounds worse than the song "Forever Waiting" just now.

He Chaoqiong patiently stopped, the third song is "See the Ideal Again", this song was arranged by Kang Jianfei, and it is not at the same level as the previous two songs.

After only listening to the first few lyrics, He Chaoqiong was suddenly shocked, threw out the distracting thoughts in his heart, and listened carefully and appreciated it.

To be honest, beyond's songs were not popular at first, not because those people didn't have a level of appreciation, but because their early songs were really hard to listen to, or the style was too niche.

In order to record the first album, Beyond wrote a total of more than 20 songs and submitted them to Fengxing Records, but only 9 songs were barely included in the selection, and major changes were made in the arrangement.

In the end, Kang Jianfei personally took action and wrote a song "Cold Rainy Night", which made up 10 songs for this album.

After listening to "Seeing the Ideal Again", He Chaoqiong felt that the later song "Silent Farewell" was also very good, but the next two songs did not dare to compliment.

He Chaoqiong picked up the cassette case boredly and looked at it, looked at it for a while and said in surprise: "There is actually a song written by you." ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "It's good for you to listen to it." ”

"Okay." He Chaoqiong pressed the fast-forward button, adjusted it a few times, and finally reached the beginning of "Cold Rainy Night".

"Walking in the rain

Blue streetlights are emerging

Relatively

Silently hugging

……

I'm there for you on a cold rainy night

Hope you will know

I know my heart

This is more than the time it was in the beginning

Only far-fetched to get along

I don't want to go home on a cold rainy night

I'm afraid to look at your back

Only smiled bitterly and looked at the raindrops

Be clear

Unfortunately, I didn't dare to try

……”

He Chaoqiong is a person who likes music very much, otherwise her two boyfriends would not be singers in the original time and space, and her ideal love object is a musical talent.

Now Kang Jianfei's "Creating" "Cold Rainy Night" is taken out, obviously overshadowing the other songs in the album, and He Chaoqiong was immediately amazed, both the melody and the lyrics fascinated her.

He Chaoqiong closed her eyes and listened to "Cold Rainy Night", Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to hold her in his arms, and their bodies shook gently with the music, and finally Kang Jianfei lowered his head and kissed He Qianjin's red lips.

In the past, Kang Jianfei's move would inevitably be pushed away by He Chaoqiong, but this time she only struggled slightly, and her teeth fell under Kang Jianfei's dexterous tongue.

Kang Jianfei's flirting made He Chaoqiong more lost than singing, she was taken off her clothes in a daze, not only did her small mouth and tongue linger with the man, but even her breasts and buttocks changed shape in the man's kneading.

He Chaoqiong's breathing became more and more rapid, and he was not stopped until he was pressed onto the sofa by Kang Jianfei: "Don't, I just gave birth." ”

"It's been more than three months." Kang Jianfei parted He Qianjin's jade legs, and pressed his waist and hips hard.

"Hmm......" He Chaoqiong frowned in pain at first, and then hummed in a low voice under the man's collision, from the initial passive acceptance, it didn't take long to become actively catering to enjoyment.

The summer breeze blew the curtains of the study and gently swayed, and the wheezing of the men and women in the room gradually stopped. He Chaoqiong, who was pressed under the man, slowed down for a while and said, "Go take a bath, I sweated a lot and died." ”

Kang Jianfei pressed his forehead against He Chaoqiong's forehead, and said crookedly: "Kiss me first." ”

"Don't fool around!" He Chaoqiong smiled and wanted to push Kang Jianfei away.

Kang Jianfei pressed on her tightly, and smiled lazily: "Kiss it." ”

He Chaoqiong had no choice but to take the initiative to kiss him with his small mouth, but he was caught by Kang Jianfei and kissed again, and the two men and women covered in sweat rolled together again. (To be continued......)
