021 [Future Plan]
Kang Jianfei knew that being an assistant director was very tiring, but he didn't expect that he would be so tiring!
Wang Tianlin started to convene various departments to form the crew of "On the Beach" on the 12th, and then auditioned for actors. From the moment of filming, Kang Jianfei started to work hard. Every decision Wang Tianlin made must be coordinated and implemented. Often, Wang Tianlin said casually, Kang Jianfei had to work hard all day.
Fortunately, the producer of this drama is Wang Tianlin. Those technicians and actors dare not be a big shot. Basically, when Kang Jianfei went to coordinate, everyone smiled and discussed it with a smile. If it were a producer with low prestige, it would be enough for the assistant director to drink a pot. Everyone would have to pretend to be a grandson and call him an old man when they met. It was simply not something human beings did!
"Brother Fei, give me a character with lines, just one line is fine."
"Yes, Ah Fei, I have helped you get a box lunch for you before, so I have to take care of you."
“…”
Several extras who had talked to Kang Jianfei for a few words before were surrounded by him and kept saying good things to ask for roles, which made Kang Jianfei very troublesome. But this precedent must not be opened, otherwise more people would come to him to plead.
After being annoyed by these people, Kang Jianfei finally couldn't help but yell: "If you want a good character to find a venue, it's not my fault!"
Several extras were bombarded and cursed quietly. Kang Jianfei didn't need to listen to these guys cursing him. He could only suppress his anger because he didn't remember the villain.
After sending the extras, Kang Jianfei had not yet taken a breath, another drama staff member ran over anxiously and said, "A Fei, the classic car I want to use this afternoon is broken!"
"If the car breaks down, I'll find someone to repair it!" Kang Jianfei said depressedly. He had to come to him for such small things, so why are these people doing?
The theater clerk said: "It's repaired, but it's not repaired well, and the engine is scrapped."
Kang Jianfei said speechlessly: "Then go to other crews on the set to borrow!"
The drama staff laughed and said, "We think so too, and I'm going to bother you again."
Kang Jianfei was stunned, and then he remembered that he should coordinate the matter of borrowing a car. He couldn't help but swear: "Grass!"
The broken car is a classic nostalgic style. There are only a few cars on the Qingshui Bay set, and I have to use it as a shooting prop in the afternoon. Now the car problem must be solved.
Kang Jianfei ran to Wang Tianlin and asked for a few phone calls, then called one by one to borrow a car, but the other crew also wanted to use it, so they couldn't get it out for the time being.
Seeing that the shooting time was about to come, Kang Jianfei had not yet borrowed the car, so he could only go to Wang Tianlin to discuss: "Uncle Tianlin, you can't borrow the car. It seems that we have to think of other solutions."
Wang Tianlin was not in a hurry and asked him with a smile like a Maitreya Buddha: "What method do you think do you have to use?"
Kang Jianfei expressed his thoughts: "Otherwise, we should use the broken car to shoot. During the shooting, we will use a car to drag the front and cover the rope later."
"No, that's it." Wang Tianlin nodded in appreciation.
"Shanghai. Beach" has been on the filming since the 25th. Although Kang Jianfei has many omissions in recent days, he can always come up with the best solution at critical moments. This performance made Wang Tianlin appreciate him more and more, thinking that Kang Jianfei is born to be a material for filming, and going to write novels is a waste of talent!
The afternoon filming was finally able to proceed normally. Kang Jianfei contacted the heads of various departments of the crew again, and after arranging all the work, he began to think about tomorrow's things in his mind.
After a whole day in a daze, Kang Jianfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The actors and crew members left one after another, but Kang Jianfei could not finish work. He had to report today's shooting situation and discuss tomorrow's shooting plan with producer Wang Tianlin. He was busy until 8 o'clock in the evening before he could finally go home.
When he left, he found that his cousin and Hu Juncai were waiting for him outside the set. Kang Jianfei said strangely: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Wu Chenggang smiled and said, "You are exhausted in the past half month. Acai said you eat instant noodles every night, so I asked your cousin's aunt to make delicious food to nourish your body."
In his previous life, Kang Jianfei had never felt the warmth of family affection after he was five years old. Wu Chenggang's words made him feel warm and he grinned and said, "Then let's go, I guess my aunt and the others are anxious."
The three of them took Wang Tianlin's ride-shaking back to the radio channel, and then took a bicycle to their cousin's house. As soon as they entered the door, they could smell the fragrance of the food, which made Kang Jianfei, who had been eating instant noodles for half a month, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"You are back," Liang Ying, who has always spoken harshly, came over with a smile and pulled Kang Jianfei and said, "A Fei, please sit down quickly. Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Kang Jianfei didn't know what Liang Ying sold in the gourd. Zhou Mingfang finally solved his doubts after the next sentence. She only heard her say: "A Fei, thanks to your great face this time, your cousin can become a lighting maker again. My aunt didn't love you in vain."
Hu Juncai also smiled and agreed, "Yes, when he was in Bao'an, A Fei was the best-minded person in the village, and now he can finally show his strength. A Fei is very extraordinary now. He is very powerful in the crew. Except for Producer Wang, everyone has to listen to him. A Fei said whatever he wants, and even I can play a good role."
Hu Juncai plays Changgui, who is Ding Li's friend in the slums in Zhabei. Later, he helped Xu Wenqiang get injured and escape. Although he was just a small supporting role, he had a strong role and could also be said to be a key figure in promoting the development of the plot.
Liang Ying was surprised and said, "So powerful? Then A Fei, you will take care of your cousin in the future."
Kang Jianfei smiled and explained: "It's just a person who runs errands. If it weren't for the sake of producer Wang, few people in the crew would have paid attention to me."
Zhou Mingfang said: "That's not simple either. How long have you been in Hong Kong? You can already become an assistant director. Although this position is very tiring and the salary is not high, you are the right-hand man of the producer and have a great future."
Kang Jianfei glanced at Zhou Mingfang in surprise. This cousin's aunt spoke appropriately, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. She also knew so much about the crew, and it seemed that it was not just a housewife.
Wu Chenggang saw Kang Jianfei's doubts and explained: "Mingfang was an actor at Cathay Film before, and later worked in finance at Jiashi for a while."
Kang Jianfei suddenly realized that his cousin Zhou Mingfang was originally an insider.
Wu Chenggang suddenly asked, "By the way, A Fei, you wrote a novel well, why did you come back to be an assistant director?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Teach yourself and get to know more people by the way."
Wu Chenggang asked: "Do you want to do things on TVB in the future?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "I'm going to open a film company by myself."
Wu Chenggang said with a serious expression: "A Fei, you have to be cautious about opening a company. You can buy a house with hundreds of thousands of yuan. If you spend money into the film company, you can't even see a splash."
"I know this," Kang Jianfei asked, "Cousin, you have a wide range of knowledge in Hong Kong. Is there any film company that is ready to sell? It's a smaller film company, I want to take over."
Wu Chenggang opened his mouth wide in shock, and after a long time he said, "Are you serious?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Seriously, it's too troublesome to register a company by yourself. It would be just right if there is a suitable small company to transfer it."
Wu Chenggang pondered: "There are many film companies on the verge of bankruptcy in Hong Kong. In the past two years, the competition for Hong Kong movies has become increasingly fierce. Many movie workers are preparing to change careers. Ah Fei, why bother to plunge into this muddy water."
Kang Jianfei said: "You don't have to worry about these things. I have made up my mind. If you lose money, you can do it again. If there is a suitable company to transfer, please notify me. If you introduce it, it will be cheaper if you don't have a price."
Wu Chenggang stared at Kang Jianfei for a while, as if flowers were growing on his face. He did not directly dissuade him, but asked: "A Fei, it is not that simple to open a film company. After the company is opened, where do you find people to shoot movies? Do you know how to produce? Who do you ask for to publish it? Nowadays, theaters only release their own films, and after you shoot the movies, you don't even have the chance to show them."
Kang Jianfei insisted: "I will solve these problems. If you think it is not feasible by cousin, then I will find them myself, or simply register a new film company."
Seeing that he couldn't convince him, Wu Chenggang could only sigh and said, "Oh, I'll ask for you."

Back at the apartment on the radio channel, Hu Juncai finally couldn't help asking: "A Fei, do you really want to open a company?"
Kang Jianfei asked back, "Do you object too?"
Hu Juncai said hesitantly: "It's not an objection. I think it's good now. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I can live in such a big house. It would be a pity if I lose money."
"A little wealth is at ease, this kind of thinking will never make a fortune!"
Kang Jianfei despised Hu Juncai and returned to his room to spread out the manuscript paper, preparing to write his first movie script for his future company.
The choice of movies must be very cautious, because Kang Jianfei cannot afford to lose. Once the movie is shot, he will be beaten back to his original form. Moreover, Hong Kong cinemas are now in the hands of several major theaters, so his movies cannot get a good schedule. In addition, there is no money to promote, so this movie must be novel in genre and can capture the audience's eyes in one go!
From the perspective of genre, the popular gambling and zombie movies in Hong Kong films have not yet emerged at this time, so you can choose between these two types.
First of all, gambling movies were excluded. This kind of movie only had a lot of money to play with casinos and gambling games, and was also very picky about the choice of actors. Kang Jianfei was not able to make gambling movies yet.
Then there are only zombie movies left!
The first thing Kang Jianfei thought of was "Mr. Zombie", but the investment in this movie was too big, so Kang Jianfei didn't have that much money, so he had to give up for the time being.
The fastest way to make a movie is to find wealthy people to invest, but Kang Jianfei has never touched a young man, and only if others lose their minds and crazy people will invest money for him.
Kang Jianfei now has only more than 500,000 yuan in his hands, so he can only use this money to make a small-cost movie.
Small cost, zombie movies, small cost, zombie movies...
