Xu Ke was a little surprised when he heard it, because Kang Jianfei asked him to be his deputy, obviously this is not a simple film, just like when Kang Jianfei asked Cameron to shoot "Jurassic Park" together. 1. Reading a book?? ? ?· １?Ｋ?Ａ Ｎ?Ｓ Ｈ?Ｕ?· ＣＯＭ

This kind of blockbuster, from preparation for filming to on-site scheduling, to post-production of the film, is an astonishing amount of work. Kang Jianfei is a "busy man", naturally he doesn't have so many personal treatments, and he is not at ease to find ordinary directors to assist him, so he will find top directors as deputies.

"Tell me, what kind of story is it?" Xu Ke asked curiously.

Although Cheng Long next to him didn't move, he also pricked up his ears and prepared to eavesdrop. He wasn't trying to steal information about the new film, but out of pure curiosity.

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "This story takes place in the future world, in 2020, in the bioengineering laboratory of a building in Kolkata, India, hundreds of meters of genetics and bioengineers from all over the world are conducting a scientific research, a virus suddenly broke out and spread rapidly, the supercomputer in the control laboratory lost control, sealed all the buildings, and the virus quickly killed all the staff......"

The story told by Kang Jianfei is the adapted version of "Resident Evil".

He once planned to shoot "Resident Evil" in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is too small to support the grand story background. Chinese mainland is a big country, but many of the film's plots are prone to government resentment, and the control of the country by large corporations is not true.

If you continue to set the story in the United States, then this movie is still a Hollywood blockbuster, and the cost of shooting in the United States is too high.

India just happens, there are already many Western biological companies conducting experiments in this country, treating poor Indian patients as cheap experiments for new drugs**, which fits the background of umbrella companies. ??? ? A look at the book ??· 1 K?A?NSHU·COM AND INDIA IS CLOSE TO HONG KONG, SO THE SHOOTING COST CAN BE CONTROLLED TO THE MOST REASONABLE.

Judging from the box office, India is more intimate and mysterious in the eyes of European and American audiences, and it is easier for them to accept it than pure Hong Kong films. At the same time, Hong Kong is a British colony, and everyone is also familiar with India, and local audiences are not averse to films filmed in India.

As for why the film was filmed in Kolkata, the reason is very simple, at this time in India, only the city of Kolkata has a subway......

After listening to the general plot, Xu Ke asked curiously: "What do zombies look like?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "Stiff movements, no intelligence, want to bite when you see a living person, and normal people will be infected and become zombies when they are bitten." ”

"Isn't that a zombie?" Xu Ke said.

Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "Unlike zombies, the formation of zombies is a virus infection, its brain is destroyed, only a certain area of the cerebellum is still alive, controlling the body to do some simple actions." Zombies can't fly, it has a scientific basis for self-justification, and Western audiences are more accepting of it. ”

Xu Ke asked: "What about the arrangement of the actors?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "First of all, the heroine must be a Hong Kong star, because this is a Hong Kong science fiction film. Secondly, it is best to use Hollywood superstars for the actor, and he is a Hollywood star familiar to Asian audiences, which is not only convenient to open the European and American markets, but also can be accepted by Asian audiences. As for the supporting roles, it is best for the female number two to be an Indian actor, and the others will be talked about when filming. ”

Xu Ke is a madman who likes to try new types, but unfortunately he can't squander like Kang Jianfei due to limited funds. Now that he has heard Kang Jianfei's thoughts, of course Xu Ke is willing to take over, the only regret is that he can't act independently, because Kang Jianfei will definitely control the crew.

Hearing that the two were discussing the new film there, Cheng Long was still quite shocked. Because this is a new type of science fiction film that has never appeared before, if it can really be made, Kang Jianfei is creating film history again.

Cheng Long only had one "Drunken Fist 2" released last year, and although the local and overseas box office was quite high, it still did not meet the expected goal. Although his "Red Fan Zone" has been produced, it has not yet been released, and he is quite worried. ("Red Fan Zone" caused a sensation in the United States, and that was in 1996)

With the sluggishness of Hong Kong films, all Hong Kong filmmakers are now in a state of anxiety. Under the successive box office failures, Hong Jinbao even decided to temporarily retreat into the background and no longer serve as a director and star.

Cheng Long and Jiahe are also in a hurry, the Chinese-speaking market is shrinking, and the European and American markets can't enter, and they are racking their brains to find a way to break through the predicament. Next year, Cheng Long will go to Japan to shoot a racing film "Thunderbolt", in fact, Golden Harvest values Cheng Long's popularity in Japan, strives to cater to the Japanese audience, and finds another way to make money in the Japanese market.

Hearing the conversation between Kang Jianfei and Xu Ke, Cheng Long even wondered if he should also try a new type?

This idea was quickly rejected by him, Cheng Long knew his strengths and weaknesses, and he could only stumble in action comedies in his life.

At this moment, the guests on the stage suddenly announced: "The best action director who won the 31st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is the family class, Liu Jialiang's "Drunken Fist 2"!" ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The award hall burst into thunderous applause, and Cheng Long, Liu Jialiang and the members of the family class stood up and shook hands and hugged the people around them to celebrate.

"Congratulations!" Kang Jianfei smiled and shook hands with Cheng Long. His "Kung Fu" was also nominated for Best Action Direction, although he lost to "Drunken Fist 2", but this kind of small award, Kang Jianfei and Cheng Long didn't take it to heart.

The next award was Best Sound Recording, and Wu Yusen's "Changing Face" won the first trophy today, and finally won Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor.

By the way, this year's Golden Horse Award actor is a double yolk egg again, Zhou Yunfa and Nicolas Cage both walked on the podium to lift the trophy with their wonderful performances in "Changing Face".

Kang Jianfei's "Kung Fu" is a bit tragic, but he didn't receive anything and took a duck egg home. Kang Jianfei came to Taipei this time, and only got the best original screenplay, and he got it with "Changing Face".

Zhou Xingchi was speechless about this, and sat below and slapped his face from beginning to end.

This year's Golden Horse actress is Cheng Chong, who used to be a mainland actor, but she immigrated to the United States a few years ago, and she will be banned by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in a few years.

Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang was the biggest winner, and his "Long Live Love" not only won Best Picture, but also won the Best Director Award himself.

The only thing that Kang Jianfei is happy about is that the best cartoon that has never been missing in another time and space was won by "Sky Legend" of Dark Horse Animation Company. This cartoon Kang Jianfei did not interfere and is a purely original work of Dark Horse Animation.

Although "Legend of the Sky" hit the street when it was released in Hong Kong, with a pitiful box office of 1.6 million, it won several small trophies internationally.

Under Kang Jianfei's instructions, Dark Horse Animation has been researching digital 3D animation technology since last year, and "Kung Fu Panda" has also been prepared for the project. It's just that the speed is very slow, maybe "Kung Fu Panda" will come out after 2000, and six or seven years will be enough.
