The music of the movie we will introduce in this issue comes from "Fang Fang". Tony Tony Tony's Eastern style melancholy with classical atmosphere is perfectly blended with the romantic French beauty of Sophie Marceau, forming the most popular love video in France this year.
Just like the male and female protagonists, they all come from the East and the West, the same is true for the soundtrack in the movie, combining elements of Western music and Chinese classical music.
The Western music part of the film is completed by French composer Nicholas Chori, which is divided into three parts: swing dance, waltz and piano music; while Chinese music is co-created by two Hong Kong composers Gu Jiahui and Hu Weili, and is divided into two parts: guzheng (a Chinese harp) and erhu using musical instruments.
Let’s first talk about the dance scene in the Vienna set in the film. Nicholas Jorie used the nineteenth-century waltz waltz here. This waltz uses the ABABC style. The first thirty seconds of the music start are a harmony constructed with dissonance chords, and it has the characteristics of a symphony. The music is passionate and brings the audience back to the nineteenth century at once.The uncoordinated violin harmony creates exciting music, creating an unscathing feeling, and the addition of the drums strengthens this feeling well. Such music coincides with the enthusiastic dance steps of the male protagonist and Fangfang at this time... French magazine "Music Criticism".
How popular is "Fangfang" in France?
I won’t talk about the French entertainment and film magazine reports, but even professional music journals have joined in the fun and spent a full 5 pages to analyze and evaluate the soundtrack of "Fangfang".
Of course, there is also the contribution of the French Elato Records Company, because Kang Jianfei sold the distribution rights of the original soundtrack of "Fangfang" in France to Elato Records.
With the expert music reviews from Music Criticism magazine and the popularity of "Fangfang", its original soundtrack sold more than 80,000 copies in one week after its release.
In a street coffee shop in Paris.
Kang Jianfei carefully considered the script of "The Rose of Love" that he wrote a few days ago. He only knew a few revolutions about French history, and had never read the novel "The Three Musketeers". He even forgot most of the plot of the original "The Rose of Love" (also known as "Datana Nian's Daughter".
It's almost July now, and for more than a month, Kang Jianfei has been staying in France to participate in script creation.
He first found several French writers and historians, and after he had a basic understanding of France in the era of "Three Musketeers", he wrote the script with the help of the French.
Sophie Marceau sat next to Kang Jianfei, drinking coffee and reading a French newspaper.
Kang Jianfei put down the script, glanced at the pointer of the wristwatch, and asked: You have been reading this report for two minutes. What wonderful news is it?
Sophie Marceau raised her eyebrows and said with a smug smile: This report is comparing me and Ajiani.
Isabel Adjani is the youngest among the three French actresses, but she is the one who is the most popular now.
Some people even say that the French film industry in the 1980s was almost the only one who owned Isabel Adjani.
The newspapers compared Sophie Marceau with Isabel Adjani together, which is definitely an extremely praise for Sophie Marceau. How could Sophie Marceau not be happy?
Not only is Isabel Adjani's name bigger than Sophie Marceau, her temper and personality are not of the same level.
In 1981, she released director Pigeon because of filming nude scenes. In 1983, she left the crew after only a few days of filming a movie. In the autumn of the same year, she quit the crew under the pretext of being too tired and quit a drama crew that only performed for a few days...
Anyway, Ajiani's personality is that if I am not happy, I won't act, no matter who your director and producer are.
Because she is the most famous actress in France today and she often releases people, French film investors love and hate Ajiani.
At the beginning of this year, news that Ajiani was infected with AIDS was rumored.
This put the rumor down shortly after, Ajiani said that she would participate in the Algerian election next year and publicly supported General Benjadi.
The report that Sophie Marceau is now reading, while affirming Ajiani's acting skills, he also criticized his own style without any concealment, and praised Sophie Marceau's diligence since his debut.
Miss Sophie Marceau, can you sign for me?The two were drinking coffee and waiting for someone, when a young Frenchman in a suit came over and handed over a notebook very politely.
sure.Sophie Marceau took the notebook and pen and signed his name with a slight sign.
Thank you so much!After the French young man expressed his gratitude, he smiled at Kang Jianfei again, then put away his notebook and turned away.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It seems that you have more and more fans.
It seems that's true.Sophie Marceau had a smile on her face. She was so proud of her during this period.
Kang Jianfei said: Maybe next time you go to Hong Kong, you will be blocked by the movie fans there.
Sophie Marceau smiled and said: Then I can only go there quietly.
The people who were waiting for it had not arrived yet, Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau were not in a hurry, and they were having a coffee while chatting and laughing. The afternoon was quite comfortable.
Even if "Fangfang" fails to the end in other regions, it has already made a lot of money based on the box office of France alone. Based on the current momentum, it is no surprise that the number of viewers of "Fangfang" in France has exceeded 5 million. It is converted into a box office of more than 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 160 million Hong Kong dollars.
In another time and space, in 1985, 1986 and 1988, there were movies that ranked among the top 30 in French film history. However, in 1987, there were no high box office movies, and the number of viewers in France this year's box office champion was only more than 4 million.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.
If nothing unexpected happens, Kang Jianfei's "Fang Fang" will become the most popular movie in France this year as a Hong Kong film.
As a producer, director and screenwriter, Kang Jianfei is both fame and fortune in France, and his reputation is already well known in the French film industry.
A good reputation brought benefits to the new film "Rose of Love" he invested in, because he needed to find a first-class French director to direct it. In the past, few people would probably give him face.
Just yesterday, Kang Jianfei went to find Godard, the old man who is known as the greatest director of French film history. He said that he was not available after only one-third of the script.
Godard refused to direct "Rose of Love" not because he looked down on Kang Jianfei, but because he looked down on the script written by Kang Jianfei.
People have been playing art films for decades, and Kang Jianfei wrote ancient French action comedy, and Godard was not even interested in finishing the script.
Today I'm having an appointment with French film noir leader Alan Kono. This guy made many films about the black theme in the 1970s, mainly showing the dark side of society such as gangsters, crimes, corruption, etc. In recent years, he has transformed into filming historical life films and musical films, which is very suitable for filming French costume action romantic love comedy written by Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei is not familiar with French directors, and Alan Kono is still the candidate recommended by Sophie Marceau because she collaborated with Alan Kono in a movie "Sargonburg" two years ago.
The two of them waited in the coffee shop for half an hour before Alan Kono came in a hurry. After shaking hands, he apologized: I'm so sorry, I've delayed my time with some private matters.
It doesn't matter, we just arrived.Kang Jianfei smiled.
After Alan Kono apologized, he did not sit down, but said a little embarrassedly: That, I came out a little anxiously. After changing my clothes, I forgot to bring my wallet. Can you help me pay the taxi fare?
Kang Jianfei looked at the funny director in front of him. He looked in his 40s and had a little thin figure, but his arms were quite strong and strong.
The most outstanding thing is his eyes. The light brown eyes look like their pupils are as dull as they are. If you look carefully, you can feel the wisdom hidden behind the appearance.
Kang Jianfei took out a 50-degree franc and asked: Is it enough?
Enough.
Alan Kono called the waiter at the cafe and stuffed 50 francs into her hand and said, "Please pay for the taxi at the entrance of the cafe. Remember to give me some left to go back and take the bus, and the rest will be your tip."
OK, sir.The waitress happily left with the money.
Alan Kono's actions made Kang Jianfei feel that he was quite interesting.
After a few pleasant conversations, Kang Jianfei handed the script to Alan Kono: Mr. Kono, let’s take a look at the script first.
Alan Kono sat obliquely on the chair regardless of his image, crossing his legs and carefully reading the script. After reading it for an hour, he closed the script and said: The love scene is too redundant, or it takes up too much space.
I think so too, Kang Jianfei admitted, but I consulted some French screenwriters, and they said that if you shoot commercial films in France, some romantic elements must be added.
No, no, that is the view of a third-rate screenwriter. Alan Conno said bluntly that the selling point of your book "Rose Love" is the identity of D'Artagnan's daughter. I believe many French people are willing to see the daughter of the great swordsman performing powerful swordsmanship in the cinema; the second selling point is Sophie Marceau's first action scene, which can also attract enough fans.The script should start to write the story in these two aspects. As for love, it can be found, but it can only be a remedy for the film. Taking up a lot of space will make the film's main and secondary...
Before Alan Kono could agree to be the director, he picked up his pen and discussed it with Kang Jianfei, while talking and slashing and revising the script.
Sophie Marceau joined the discussion soon, and the three of them came up with many wonderful ideas, and they did not complete the revision of the script until it was almost dark.
Looking at the scripts with traces of modification everywhere, Kang Jianfei asked: I don’t know if Mr. Kono is interested in being the director of this film.
Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to you for an afternoon.Alan Kono agreed very readily, but he did not refuse because "The Rose of Love" has no artistic connotation.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Sophie Marceau suggested: It’s getting dark, let’s go for dinner together.
No, I have some things to deal with at night.Alan Kono stood up and shook hands with the two and said goodbye, made an appointment to talk about the details of the cooperation another day and left in a hurry.
After Kang Jianfei waited for Alan Kono to leave, he commented: A very interesting person.
Sophie Marceau nodded and said: That's true. Among the directors I have worked with in recent years, he is the most enjoyable to get along with him.
Let's find a place to have dinner.Kang Jianfei said, "Old place?"
Good Ah.Sophie Marceau smiled.
The old place that the two of them mentioned was an Italian restaurant, where the dishes were more authentic than when they were last filmed "The Deadly Express" in Rome, which was very consistent with Kang Jianfei's taste.
It was already past 9 o'clock when Kang Jianfei had just helped Sophie Marceau push open the glass door when suddenly a dazzling flash light lit up on the street.
Click, click...
In just a few seconds, Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau have been taken several photos by reporters.
The paparazzi in France is far inferior to the UK, but they cannot resist Sophie Marceau's popularity now.
In addition, the two have had dinner at this Italian restaurant several times over the past month, and it is abnormal not to attract reporters.
The reporter saw Kang Jianfei and Sophie Marceau walking towards him, and not only did not run away with guilt, but instead came over to interview: Miss Marceau, are you in love with this Mr. Kang?
Sophie Marceau doesn't care about reporters' random writing, but Kang Jianfei can't let the scandal stain on Sophie Marceau's beautiful public image. He denied: Of course not, in fact, Sophie and I have been discussing new films these days.
But the reporter was not easy to fool and asked: Are you talking about it during dinner together?I heard you have been to this restaurant 5 times.
Kang Jianfei did not answer directly, but deliberately diverted the reporter's attention: We also made an appointment with director Alan Kono this afternoon and spent four hours discussing revising the script together. Director Kono left in advance.
The reporter asked perseverantly: So you come to this restaurant for dinner and spend the world of two people together?
Kang Jianfei asked back: Is it okay to finish having dinner with friends?I only have Sophie in France, and I don’t even know which restaurant is delicious without her help.I heard that French cuisine is very famous and Paris is a romantic capital, so Sophie was actually my tour guide and took me to enjoy the French cuisine and beauty.
The reporter complained: But why do you always come to this Italian restaurant to enjoy French cuisine?
Sophie Marceau interjected: Don’t you know that Italian cuisine is the ancestor of French cuisine?We are chasing the roots and finding the source of French cuisine.
After a while of nonsense, the reporter finally gave up asking about their relationship and began to ask questions about Sophie Marceau's new film.
After sending off the reporter, Sophie Marceau attracted a taxi and said: It's time for me to go home.
Go to my place and take a seat.Kang Jianfei grabbed her hand and said.
Too late... Sophie Marceau refused, but after meeting Kang Jianfei's scorching eyes, he swallowed it halfway.
Beep!
The taxi driver slammed twice. Because the light on the street was too dark, he didn't recognize Sophie Marceau and asked impatiently: Are you two leaving?
Kang Jianfei smiled and opened the car door. Sophie Marceau hesitated for a moment, and finally got in the car and gave up his seat for Kang Jianfei to sit in.
