Kang Jianfei came to shoot this time, and the officials of Shaozhou City and Renhua County were even more enthusiastic, because Kang Jianfei's tourism company had reached a cooperation agreement with the local government department.

Hu Juncai has not been in vain in the mainland these years, under his management, cinemas and department stores have opened in major cities across the country, and tourism companies have also developed Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain. And this product is still the son-in-law of the Ye family, and this signboard can be eaten all over the country, but he has hidden it very deeply, and he has not publicized it to the outside world until now.

Just last month, Hu Juncai spent more than 10 days in Shaozhou City, personally surveying the local natural and cultural landscapes, including Danxia Mountain, and finally discussing with local officials, scholars, and staff of tourism companies to develop a detailed tourism development plan.

Not only the development of Danxia Mountain, but also more than 10 cultural monuments such as Nanhua Temple, where the six ancestors propagated the Dharma, and Meiling Ancient Road, the most well-preserved ancient post road in the country. Celebrities such as Zhang Jiuling, Han Yu, and Su Dongpo have left poems here, and veterans such as Mao Taizu, Mr. Zhu, Deng Gong, and Peng Shuai have fought here, and the celebrity resources that can be used are too rich.

The Shaolin Temple Tourism Development Company, which was established at the beginning, was renamed Taikang International Tourism Company when Hu Juncai developed Wudang Mountain. Kang Jianfei is still the company's largest shareholder, Hu Juncai holds 30% of the shares, and the remaining 19% is issued to the company's top management as dry shares.

Taikang International Tourism Co., Ltd.'s final plan is to invest 88 million yuan to develop a complete tourist route in Shaozhou City.

88 million yuan in a prefecture-level city at the end of the 80s is definitely a huge amount of money. Travel companies can't come up with so much money, and some of them still borrow from department stores.

When Kang Jianfei came to Shaozhou City again, many places were surveying and planning. Later, it was used to build roads or hotels.

The local government has also invested heavily in building various infrastructure facilities from the tight finances, and is ready to roll up its sleeves and do a big job.

"Kang, this place is so beautiful!" Stan? Standing among the Danxia mountains, Winston was completely amazed by the beauty.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "There are many beautiful scenery like this in China, you can walk more when you have time." ”

Stan? "I will, I've had a great time working in Hong Kong for the past two months," Winston said. The Chinese are very easy to get along with. ”

Kang Jianfei with Stan? Winston came to a valley and pointed down, "This is where the model of the hydra cypress is assembled and buried, and the cliffs should be covered with rattans." ”

Stan? Winston pulled out the renderings. Combined with the situation in the valley, he looked around and estimated, "It will take at least a week." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "No problem, I'm shooting outside now, and you have about 20 days to finish it slowly." ”

Filming in this kind of poor mountain and remote area. There's a lot of bad stuff. Just eating is a problem.

Fortunately, the China Film Co-production Company and the local government were very meticulous, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits were transported by water, and the chef of the city hotel set up an open-air stove in the mountains. As long as it is necessary to cook in the field, the chef can be busy with the meals of the entire crew alone, and there is even a supper during the night scene.

The crew started working on the day they arrived at Danxia Mountain, the special effects team and the set team began to work in the valley, and Kang Jianfei filmed outside the valley.

To be precise, I started shooting on the way out of the prefectural hotel.

Everyone took a broken bus in the suburbs. In addition to the actors from Hong Kong, there were also a dozen or so local repertory troupe actors sitting in the car. The actors of the repertory troupe are naturally tricky. They sat on their seats in homespun clothes, some chatting, some dozing, and some carrying vegetables and chickens.

After the bus drove for a while, this shot was over, followed by several shots of the main actors sitting on walk-behind tractors and bullock carts.

The old man who drove the ox cart was not a local, but a Chinese film co-production company from the mountain. The actors transferred from the East Film Studio opened their mouths to be standard mountain/dong dialect.

Because the first story of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is about the Luwang Cemetery, which takes place in the Yimeng Mountains, the locals must say that the mountains are located. Oriental dialect is OK, this time a total from the mountain. Higashi seconded 6 actors.

The remuneration of these 6 actors is very cheap, plus room and board and round-trip fares, each person has an average of two or three scenes, and it only costs less than 1,000 yuan in total after filming.

As for why the scene in the mountain/Dongyimeng Mountain area is filmed, and why it is filmed in Guang/Dongdanxia Mountain, it can only be explained by fate. If you insist on saying that Yimeng Mountain does not have Danxia landform, which does not conform to geographical common sense, then there is really no way.

Several leading actors sat on ox carts and moved forward slowly, and the crew in front of them released a local dog.

The third uncle played by Zeng Jiang took the lead in jumping out of the car and filming the old actor in Shandong. The officer's shoulder said, "Old man, let's ride the tractor and the ox cart all the way, and then ride this dog?" ”

Although Zeng Jiang's ancestral home is in Guangzhou. East, but there was a time when Hong Kong movies had to have Chinese dialogue, so the actors who came over at that time would more or less speak a little Mandarin. Zeng Jiang not only speaks Mandarin, but his Mandarin also has a bit of Beijing flavor, which he learned from a Peking Opera actor from Beijing.

In order to make the film have a sense of reality, Kang Jianfei decided not to re-dub it in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the actors spoke Cantonese when they were in Hong Kong, and the "local" actors spoke Shan/Oriental dialect when they were in Danxia Mountain, and finally had to go to Beijing to make up a few shots, and the third uncle played by Zeng Jiang was a mouthful of Mandarin with a broken Beijing flavor from beginning to end.

"How can a dog ride, the next Ruth will take a boat, the dog is used to report the news, and it will bring the boat over." This mountain. Donglao's skills are very solid, and he can't see any traces of performance at all, just like talking in life.

Zeng Jiang glanced at the earth dog and asked, "This dog can also swim?" ”

"It's a good swim," the old actor tapped the dog's head with a cigarette stick, "Donkey Dandan, go swim one for the guests to see." ”

The dog was disobedient, and was knocked by the old actor with a cigarette stick, so frightened that he jumped away with his tail between his legs. The rest of the scene can only be the owner of the earth dog calling it to run in front, and the scene of water is simply throwing the dog directly into the river.

The sky was about to get dark, and everyone was busy for most of the day, only to shoot the tomb robber gang preparing to take a boat into the corpse cave, and the last shot was the mountain. Close-up of the face of the old actor. There was a simple smile on the wrinkled face, but when I looked closely, it slowly turned into a dark smile, and there was a kind of viciousness in my eyes.

"Click! That's all for today's play. Kang Jianfei walked over and shook hands with the old actor, and exclaimed, "Uncle, your sinister smile and eyes just now are simply amazing." ”

Zeng Jiang is also a veteran actor who has been filming for twenty or thirty years, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up at this time, and said to the old actor: "It's really amazing, I'm under a lot of pressure to play against my brother." ”

The old actor smiled embarrassedly: "What, I've played a bad guy for half my life, either a Japanese devil, a traitor of the Kuomintang, a traitor and a bad landlord." This kind of sinister smile and vicious eyes have been played countless times before, and they can be done when they fall asleep. ”

Kang Jian flew away his cigarette and asked, "Your old surname?" ”

The old actor waved his hand and said: "It's not expensive, my surname is Qin, my name is Qin Yuemin, you can just call me Lao Qin." ”

Kang Jianfei had never heard of this name, and quietly asked the people from the China Film Co-production Company, and they also said that they didn't know, they only knew that they were actors recommended by Shandong/Dong Film Studio, and they probably belonged to the kind of old supporting roles with solid acting skills but little fame.

I don't have to shoot a night scene today, so I will call it a day in the evening, and when I go back, we will take a boat to the county seat, because there is still a long mountain road to go by land.

Coupled with the set, special effects team and various equipment, the entire crew staggered to fill more than 30 small boats, lined up in a long queue and floated on the river.

The flotilla was rowed by manpower, and before it could return to the county, night fell halfway through. The bright moon in the sky is reflected in the river, the river breeze comes slowly, the water waves ripple slightly, and the birds and insects on both sides of the river are heard from time to time, which is full of the natural interest of the mountains and wilderness.

On this quiet and peaceful moonlit night boating on the river, whether it is an actor from Hong Kong or an employee from Beijing, they all experience a dreamy feeling that is different from a big city.

"If only we could have a bonfire by the river now." Wu Zhenyu said to Lin Xue, who was sitting next to him.

Lin Xue has been gaining weight all this time, and now he has more than 160 catties, he held the rocking side of the boat a little uneasily, and said: "I can't swim, the boat is shaking very strongly, what do you say if it capsizes?" ”

Cheng Kuian smiled: "I'll pick you up if I turn it over." ”

Zhang Mian put his elbow on his thigh, dragged his cheek raiser in his palm, and tilted his head to look at the moon in the water. At this time, she went out to shoot for the first time, and in addition to Zeng Jiang and the old actor Qin Yuemin during the day today, several of their leading actors only needed to show their faces, and they didn't even have to say their lines, so they spent it very easily.

Now that she is in such a leisurely beauty, Zhang Meng enjoys this kind of life of shooting on location, and she was tired of filming in the studio of the film and television city some time ago.

Qin Yuemin and Old Man Qin sat with Zeng Jiang at this time, and he sighed: "It's still your Hong Kong counterparts who are proud enough to film, how much does it cost to come and go on this exterior, and it is more convenient to set up directly indoors." ”

Zeng Jiang said with a smile: "Hong Kong used to be an indoor set, but not many people watched that kind of drama anymore, and the audience liked to watch live dramas." I'll write you a call when I go back to the hotel, and if my brother wants to come to Hong Kong next time, call me in advance. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have that blessing, a handful of age, even to Guang. The state is all thanks to your crew. Qin Yuemin said with a smile.

Zhang Meng looked at Kang Jianfei at the stern of the boat, but saw that he was chatting with the camera crew about something, most likely discussing tomorrow's camera position and lens.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the fleet finally landed. Zhang Meng slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and when Kang Jianfei got off the boat, she followed, staying half a meter behind Kang Jianfei. (To be continued......)
