Los Angeles International Airport.
All members of the crew of "Mr. Smiths" who were preparing to board the plane, their skin was tanned overall after staying in the Sonoran Desert for a few days.
Chu Hong looked in the small mirror from time to time, obviously afraid that her skin color would not recover, and complained to herself: Sunscreen is useless.
Don't worry, it will turn white again in a few days.Kang Jianfei twisted Zhong Meiren's face affectionately.
It’s not good to be seen!Chung Chuhong slapped Kang Jianfei's hand, and she was quite generous, but she couldn't let go of such things.
After filming the American desert scene, the crew will be divided into two. Ang Lee leads the team and Cherie Chung to Singapore for filming, while Kang Jianfei runs to Paris to film.
Finally, I will come back and add some shots in Hong Kong, and the whole movie can be completed.
Three days later, the Champs Elysees in Paris.
This famous international fashion avenue is very different from Kang Jianfei's impression.
The scenery is quite beautiful, but many ancient buildings have been damaged, and it is not even a traffic jam, so tourists can only enjoy the beautiful scenery while honking the whistle.
What is most speechless is that the picturesque walking paths on both sides of the Later Avenidao are completely chaotic roadside parking lots, with various vehicles parked everywhere. Pedestrians have to walk around from time to time if they want to enjoy the scenery.
There have been calls for the protection of the Champs Elysées in France, but it has been said for decades. A committee was finally established a few years ago. However, this committee has just begun to track and study the damage on the Champs Elysées. It will take several years to truly renovate and protect.
After the peak hours of work, the crew chose a place with fewer vehicles on the Champs-Elysées and officially started shooting.
Kang Jianfei was wearing a casual outfit, wearing sunglasses and holding a dog, walking under the elm tree on the avenue.
The blower blew a breeze, blowing up the elm leaves that sprinkled on the ground by the crew.
A man and a dog just wandered in the breeze, and the bright sunshine shone from the gaps in the tree canopy, shining on Kang Jianfei's body to form a poetic halo.
Just such a cool walk, Kang Jianfei walked for more than half an hour and took pictures repeatedly to satisfy him.
The next scene was filmed in the Champs-Elysées circular square, where Kang Jianfei took a dog and walked to the outside of the square.
His hand was holding a dog chain and inserted it into his pocket, while the puppy was peeing at a big tree, which was no different from an ordinary passerby.
Suddenly a car drove to the circular square and stopped, and a handsome Chinese and European mixed-race man got out of the car.This handsome mixed-race guy came to a female painter in the square with a box and said: Draw a portrait for me.
Yes, the French female painter asked, did you bring the goods?
It's all here.The handsome mixed-race guy pushed the box over.
The female painter also pushed the painting box at her feet. The handsome mixed-race guy opened the box and saw that the green dollars were all in his eyes. He immediately closed the box and stood up and left.
The handsome mixed-race man turned around and saw Kang Jianfei walking over with a smile on his face.
The handsome mixed-race man subconsciously nodded and smiled at Kang Jianfei. The moment the two of them passed by, Kang Jianfei took out a silencer and pushed it against each other's heart.
The drawing box slid from the hand of the handsome mixed-race guy. Kang Jianfei caught it and continued to move forward. When other tourists found that the handsome mixed-race guy was pounced on the ground, Kang Jianfei had already walked out of the square and got into the car that was being picked up and slipped away.
Click!Wu Ruiqing, who temporarily acted as executive director for Kang Jianfei, called out that the crew's shooting mission in France was successfully completed.
Cousin, I'm pretty good at directing it.Wu Ruiqing pulled Kang Jianfei excitedly and asked, "In fact, the photography director Zhong Zhiwen is the real person in charge of the camera, and Wu Ruiqing just experiences being a director."
Not bad, keep working hard.Kang Jianfei patted his cousin's shoulder and encouraged him.
The original films were not available in several scenes filmed in France and Singapore. The reason why Kang Jianfei made up for it was to make the movie more reasonable.
Because in the final script, the male and female protagonists belong to two international killer companies.
In this way, it is impossible to stay in Hong Kong every day, after all, Hong Kong is too small and there are not so many targets to kill.
Moreover, these assassinations will be less than 4 minutes in total, which will not destroy the overall structure of the film. Interspersing well will make the story fuller.
In addition, the action scenes of the film have also been completely demolished and redesigned.
After all, this movie is mainly aimed at the Asian market, and Asian audiences prefer fighting with kung fu elements. American action movies with one punch and one kick are not pleasing.
Of course, the kung fu drama will not be too outrageous. The hero and heroine's kung fu tends to be more modern fighting, and they cannot jump three feet high as a leap.
Hi Kang, is the shooting over?The female painter in the square just now came over and asked.
It's over, I'm going to fly back to Hong Kong tomorrow, Kang Jianfei asked, "Do you have time to have dinner together?"
Of course, we are old friends.The female painter smiled.
The guest starring female painter is not someone else, but Sophie Marceau, who is 20 years old in half a year. She is much more mature than the rebellious personality she had a few years ago.
It can be said that Kang Jianfei invited Sophie Marceau to film three years ago, which changed her entire life trajectory.
In another time and space, Sophie Marceau met an old man during his rebellious period, and then raised 1 million francs to redeem himself, and went to shoot some so-called art films with many passionate scenes, destroying his image as a jade girl.
If it weren't for the filming of "Fang Fang" and becoming famous again, Sophie Marceau might have been a second-rate actress who would have been filming passionate scenes all her life, and the old Polish man who was over 20 years older than her was the culprit.
When Sophie Marceau was 20 years old, the Polish director was nearly 50 years old, and he was not very good to Sophie Marceau. The older he was, the more he loved to lose his temper.
Sophie Marceau almost acted as a daughter, wife and mother. He has been taking care of this old man for 17 years before breaking up, and all the best time for a woman was delayed.
Three years ago, when the old Polish man invited Sophie Marceau to make an art film, Sophie Marceau was on the crew of "The Deadly Express" in Italy, and then the historical drama "Sakana Fortress".
Since Sophie Marceau was filming Kang Jianfei's scene in Italy at that time, the invitation letter from the Polish director could only be sent to Sophie Marceau's company. The company that was preparing to train Sophie Marceau to become a generation of jade girls naturally would not agree to the invitation of the old Polish gangster, and directly refused on the grounds that there was no schedule.
Sophie Marceau didn't know about this at all. The Polish director also found another actress to play the leading role, and the two had no intersection again.
Sophie Marceau hates the rules and regulations set by her company with her, such as not being allowed to have boyfriends, not being allowed to film nude scenes, not being allowed to wear exposed clothes on important occasions, etc., it is simply raising her in a cage.
However, without the help of the old Polish man, Sophie Marceau could not afford the penalty of 1 million francs. She never asked Kang Jianfei and Brigitte Lin to borrow it. Anyway, she has been working hard to make money in recent years to prepare for leaving the company, and she plays the same good girl role.
In a restaurant in Paris.
Sophie Marceau stuffed his snail meat into his mouth and said: Kang, your English has improved a lot.
It sounds fine, but it's still a bit awkward.
Kang Jianfei asked Sophie Marceau to make a guest appearance in "Mr. Smiths", mainly because he was attracted by Sophie Marceau's box office appeal in France.
Due to the lack of the old Polish man's mess, Sophie Marceau has become the goddess in the minds of thousands of French men in recent years. Her guest appearance can add more French audiences to "Mr. Smiths".
By the way, your contract with the company has not expired yet?Kang Jianfei asked.
It expires in half a year, and I can finally get out of that evil castle.Sophie Marceau said excitedly.
Kang Jianfei asked: Then what are your plans next?
Sophie Marceau said: There is a Hollywood agency that wants me to develop in the United States, but I have no interest. American movies are full of money and have no artistic connotation at all.
Kang Jianfei was amused. In a few years, when you are short of money, you will be willing to accept those meat-selling slices under the guise of art, let alone any commercial films that have no meaning.
Sophie Marceau is still continuing: French films have been influenced by Hollywood and have become more and more commercialized in recent years. I am going to go to Italy to see them, and the directors there are still sticking to art.
All I saw with my own eyes were ugly, and the scenery I could not see was the most beautiful. Kang Jianfei chewed foie gras and said, Italy is similar to France, but in fact it is the same all over the world. Most ordinary people are not interested in so-called art films.
What about you?Sophie Marceau asked.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: First of all, I am the boss of a film company and a businessman. I have to be responsible to the employees under my command.So I can only make commercial films, but I will support some art directors, and my company has to make at least two literary and artistic films every year.
Sophie Marceau said with emotion: You are a very enlightened boss. If my boss could be like you, I wouldn’t have thought about leaving the company all day long.They are just a bunch of villains, and they even have to take care of me when I have a boyfriend. They often use contracts to threaten me, and say that it is for my own good and to maintain my star image.
Are you sure you want to make a different movie?Kang Jianfei asked.
That's of course, Sophie Marceau complained, since I was 14 years old to now, I have played a few roles, either a pure female student or a kind noble lady. Now I want to vomit when I see the camera.
Then I might as well invest in a movie for you.Kang Jianfei said.
What kind of movie?Sophie Marceau asked.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It must be different from what you took before.Let me briefly talk about the plot: Alex, a man who is about to get married, met Fangfang, a lively and open-minded dancer who advocates personality, and fell in love hopelessly.
He has always lived in the water, and he has never tasted the storm of love.Alex, who grew up in the shadow of his mother changing sex partners in childhood, stubbornly believed that sexual love would not last long, and everything would be over as soon as he went to bed, so he made a decision that he would pursue Fangfang forever, but never involve lust...
Kang Jianfei carefully recalled the plot of "Fangfang". Some details were somewhat biased due to memory errors, but Sophie Marceau still listened to it with relish. Obviously, she was very looking forward to Fangfang's role.
All members of the crew of "Mr. Smiths" who were preparing to board the plane, their skin was tanned overall after staying in the Sonoran Desert for a few days.
Chu Hong looked in the small mirror from time to time, obviously afraid that her skin color would not recover, and complained to herself: Sunscreen is useless.
