The preliminary preparations for "Mr. Zombie" have gradually been completed, and Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother Takes Out" has finally been painted in Taiwan. The total box office in Taiwan is NT$15.2 million, equivalent to more than HK$3 million.
Taking the horizontal box office comparison of "The Junior Brother" in other regions, or the vertical box office of Taiwanese movies over the years as a movie, this is just a bit of a tragic number.
However, this is not about the quality of the movie, but is due to the general environment of the Taiwan market.
The impact of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States on Taiwan last year was too great. Many wealthy Taiwanese businessmen and filmmakers believed that Taiwan had no future, so they sorted out their fine lines and ran to Europe, America, Japan, Hong Kong, and even the mainland.
Ordinary people are also in a state of grief, and entertainment activities have been greatly reduced. Coupled with the popularity of TVs, many people choose to watch TV at home, which has further reduced the number of moviegoers.
Taiwan’s box office champion "Sakura Love" this year has only been released for more than 22 million yuan for four consecutive months, which shows how shrinking the Taiwanese film market has.
This bleak situation was not improved until Taiwan's economy exploded in 1981 and the people regained their confidence.
"Happy Ghost" was in this atmosphere, and was screened on the first round of the Cathay and Ximen Theater in Taipei on the fifth day after the fall of "The Junior Brother".
……
The starring actors of "Mr. Zombie" came to Taipei one after another, and they all stayed in the Jinyue Hotel.
In addition to the heroine Lee Saifeng and the third male lead Xu Guanying, Huang Xia, Yuan Hua and others, like Lin Zhengying, were borrowed from Sammo Hung's Hong family class.
Huang Xia and Yuan Hua are born as Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts. Huang Xia plays Li Saifeng's father in the film, while Yuan Hua plays Li Saifeng's dead grandfather, the final boss zombie.
Kang Jianfei owed Sammo Hung a big favor this time, and he will definitely pay it back in the future.
It’s not difficult to borrow or repay.
Kang Jianfei naturally cannot offend a large number of talents under Sammo Hung, and he might ask someone else one day.
If Sammo Hung had a commander but only one, Kang Jianfei wouldn't care so much about that bitch, and if he had a trick, he would have cheated him!
Tomorrow, we will officially start the movie in China Film Culture City. Let everyone rest early today and don’t lose their energy tomorrow.
Kang Jianfei said to Lin Zhengying.
Although he is a director, there are several people from the Hong family on the crew, which sometimes makes it more convenient for Lin Zhengying to issue orders.
good.Lin Zhengying spoke out a word very stingy, and then went to greet everyone to go to bed.
As soon as Kang Jianfei returned to his room, the door was knocked, but Pan Yingzi came in.
In the middle of the night, a beautiful actress took the initiative to come to the director's room. Is this a rhythm that requires a hidden rule?
Kang Jianfei was just yelling, but he saw Pan Yingzi throwing a note on the coffee table and saying: You are late. Brigitte Lin is not in Taiwan now, but is studying literature and art at the University of Hawaii.
Kang Jianfei opened the note, which read the address somewhere in Hawaii. It seems that it should be Lin Qingxia’s current residence.He couldn't help but ask: Why did Brigitte Lin go abroad to study?
He left after filming "Bloody and Yellow Flower" before the Spring Festival and is now living in the home of a female friend.
Pan Yingzi sat on the sofa, her tight cropped pants outlined her plump and amazingly upright buttocks. When she sat down, her trousers raised her legs, revealing a piece of white and tender calves like lotus roots.
Pan Yingzi didn't care about Kang Jianfei's hot gaze and said, "It seems that Brigitte Lin left Taiwan because of emotional problems. I don't know what the specific situation is. I have found many people to ask about this address.
Kang Jianfei wanted to take Brigitte Lin to Hong Kong to shoot a commercial film as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that she would actually go to the United States. It seemed that she had to wait until she finished filming "Mr. Zombies".
Putting Lin Qingxia's affairs aside, Kang Jianfei walked towards Pan Yingzi, who was shining with bright light. Faced with this naked seduction, he was not a man without doing anything, and he was simply worse than a beast.
Kang Jianfei was originally going to sit down next to Pan Yingzi and then flirt slowly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, Pan Yingzi suddenly stood up, smiled at him and said: It's getting late, I'll go back to my room to rest first, good night!
Well, good night!Kang Jianfei coughed awkwardly, and could only watch Pan Yingzi twist her waist out in a charming way.
This woman is really hateful. She aroused the sexual interest of a man and turned around and left. She is a typical person who kills and burys Ah!
……
The opening ceremony of "Mr. Zombie" is much more lively than "Happy Ghost". The crew's behind the scenes and starring actors totaled more than 30 people, plus some extras, and dozens of people gathered in the Siheyuan.
Kang Jianfei Ruxiang stood in the front, behind him were Lin Zhengying, Li Saifeng, Chen You and Xu Guanying, and followed him to worship three times in front of the divine case.
The process of inviting Xu Guanying to act was unexpectedly smooth. The Xu brothers have not made movies in the past two years. Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie can be hosts, screenwriters and sing to make money, but Xu Guanying doesn't have much investment.
Although Xu Guanying can sing, his honor is really sorry to the audience. Only by borrowing the movies of the Xu brothers can the song be sold.
Xu Guanying, who had not made a movie for two years, made some money by writing lyrics and writing articles, so Kang Jianfei invited him for a pay of 50,000 yuan.
After the worship ceremony of the gods, the field workers moved the divine case aside and put it in place. This divine case is a shooting prop and will be used several times later.
Lin Zhengying quickly put on makeup. He dyed his gray hair as old as an old man, and looked at least 50 years old. Just walking on the street, no one would have guessed that he was less than 30 years old.
Chen You's Taoist dress is even more eye-catching. This big singer stood there with a mustache and Taoist robe. Without saying a word, he can give people a feeling of being a ghost.
Kang Jianfei and more than a dozen extras put on the Qing Dynasty official uniforms, slapped his face and then got dark circles, and more than a dozen zombies were released.
The first scene was a scene in Yizhuang. Kang Jianfei played the second male lead Qiu Sheng, who played the role of zombies, scared Wencai, played by Xu Guanying, but ended up getting rid of Huang Fu, the real zombie, and creating a ridiculous farce.
Hu Juncai started the scene record, Chen Xunqi followed Kang Jianfei as an assistant, and Kang Jianfei also tried to train Chen Xunqi to be the executive director when he appeared on stage.
The eight-mouthed coffin was neatly placed in the room, and the windows were specially sealed to make the light in the room dark, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Xu Guanying is worthy of being an old actor. After getting familiar with the script, Kang Jianfei doesn't need to bother to successfully achieve the effect Kang Jianfei wants, and even performs extraordinaryly.
Actors with talent for acting often give directors unexpected surprises.For example, there is a scene in the original "Shanghai Bund" that was included in the TVB wireless training class textbook as a classic example.
That scene was a scene where Xu Wenqiang was injured and Changgui fed him porridge.
There was no plot in the script that spitting porridge. Chow Yun-fat became so immersed in the play that he coughed and vomited porridge while coughing.
The director thought the effect was very good, so he didn't stop. As a result, Liao Qizhi, who played Changgui, also had a magical cooperation. As soon as Fa Ge vomited porridge, he would stroking Fa Ge's vest and wipe the porridge at the corner of his mouth with his sleeves.
Both of them were separated from the script, but one played Xu Wenqiang's injury and weakness vividly, and the other showed Changgui's loyalty and kindness to the fullest.
Xu Guanying is such an actor. Of course, his talent only exists in funny plots, and his expressions and actions interpret the already funny plot even more hilarious.
The same is true for Chen You, who has never made several movies. He seems to be born to be a survivor, and his exaggerated expression is quite a bit like Stephen Chow's nonsensical demeanor.
You stand here and jump up and pounce when Ayou comes over. Ayou, you first take your left foot... Lin Zhengying explains the action scenes for Chen You and a zombie.
With Lin Zhengying as an action guide, Kang Jianfei was a hundred times more relaxed. He just needed to take out the storyboard script and ask Lin Zhengying to tell the photographer what he asked, and everyone would discuss and solve the problem later.
Lin Zhengying, Xu Guanying and others who are used to filming are also surprised at how quickly they can make movies with Kang Jianfei.
You should know that comedy is slowly polished. For example, Gao Zhisen, the genuine director of "Happy Ghost", made Shen Dianxia walk more than ten times, and finally came out of the most funny effect before she passed.
Another time and space When Lin Zhengying was filming "Mr. Zombie", many funny plots were also studied together during filming. For example, the classic plot of holding your breath in the film was the inspiration generated by the crew members who held their breath in a hotel.
Kang Jianfei does not have these obstacles. Time travel is a super cheater. He can directly tell the laughter he needs. The actor just needs to follow his requirements.
The time for filming in this way is reduced by at least two-thirds than the normal shooting of other directors.
After the filming of the first day, the shooting progress was already scary.The crew members of Xu Guanying, Chen You, Lin Zhengying and other crew secretly gave Kang Jianfei an indecent nickname, the Quick Gunner!
Taking the horizontal box office comparison of "The Junior Brother" in other regions, or the vertical box office of Taiwanese movies over the years as a movie, this is just a bit of a tragic number.
