It took Eric Tsang half a month to finish the script of "Three Minutes Heroes", and many of the funny plots were written together with Huang Xia.
In another time and space, Eric Tsang is one of the seven monsters in the New Art City. All the scripts of the first few years of the New Art City were created by him in collaboration with Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and others.
Zeng Zhiwei's talent lies in his understanding of the aesthetic tastes of the grassroots classes in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he can write various top-notch jokes.
However, this person has limited screenwriter skills and his ability to construct script frameworks and plot innovation is very weak.
Fortunately, the general plot has been designed by Kang Jianfei. Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Xia only need to fill in the details, which is exactly what he has to do.
After the script was finally released, the screenwriter signed the three names Kang Jianfei, Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Xia.
The male protagonist of the film was originally played by Dong Wei, who had just returned from Taiwan, but this guy should be unlucky. In the first few days of the filming, he fell down because of practicing hanging wires and had to temporarily replace him.
The final list of actors is: Chen You plays the male lead Awei, Chung Chuhong plays the female lead Ahong, Liang Xiaolong plays the love rival Aming, Eric Tsang plays the black boss, Huang Xia plays Ahong's father, Cheng Kui'an plays the villain thug, and Yang Jingjing plays Ahong's colleague.
Except for the male lead, all other important roles are played by martial artists from the Kang family class.This not only reduces the shooting cost, but also means running-in.
As for who will play the liar Uncle Da, Kang Jianfei hung up the phone for Wu Mengda.
Wu Mengda went bankrupt a month ago. Under his debts, no one invited him to film. He had reached the point of wanting to commit suicide.
……
OK, I will definitely go there on time tomorrow!Wu Mengda, who was covered in stubborn face, hung up the phone weakly. A pair of three-year-old twin daughters crawled onto his body and called her dad in a slight voice.
His wife Maili asked expectantly: Brother Da, whose phone number is Ah?
Ng Mengda said listlessly: Kang Jianfei, ask me to go and make a movie.
Wu Mengda now owes more than 300,000 yuan in the bank, and also owes many other friends money. In addition, he has only played a small supporting role in the past six months, so his family can't afford rice, so Mai Lili has to borrow money from her parents' family to make a living.
Now that I heard someone ask her husband to film, Maili was overjoyed: Is it Kang Jianfei from Oriental DreamWorks?He is a big celebrity now, and many newspapers are reporting on his new drama.
Wu Mengda didn't take Kang Jianfei seriously before, but now he is in trouble, but the other party is developed. He feels even more depressed and said disdainfully: That mainland boy is just lucky.If it weren't for the help of Boss Lei, he would still be playing a supporting role in Qingshui Bay.
When Maili heard this, he got angry: Others are lucky, are you unlucky and you are so lucky?I told you not to bet, but you didn't listen.If it weren't for my brother asking for money, my two daughters would have gone hungry now!
Wu Mengda felt guilty about his wife and daughter, and was not in the mood to quarrel with his wife, so he simply kept silent.
Seeing his half-dead look, Maili patiently advised: Brother Da, everyone in the newspapers said that Kang Jianfei is a genius director, and the scenes he made will definitely be popular.Now no one is willing to invite you to film. If Mr. Kang can invite you, it is because others don’t care about your bad reputation. You must seize this opportunity.
Wu Mengda was anxious because his wife said that he was frank and confessed: Last year, I borrowed money from Kang Jianfei, and the guy said he would not have to pay it back and help him shoot three free movies in the future.At that time, he was still a supporting actor. I just thought he was joking. Unexpectedly, he became the boss of a film company in less than half a year, and I still remember this.This time I went to film for him, and no matter how good I acted, I wouldn't make a penny.
Maili didn't expect that there would be such an incident. She was silent and still advised: If you don't get a salary, don't take it. It's better than staying at home and not doing anything, and you can repay his favors.
Ng Mengda said angrily: Am I doing nothing at home?I practice acting in front of the mirror every day!
Can you make money when you look in the mirror?
Maili said angrily. Whether you give a pay or not, Mr. Kang is the only one who is willing to invite you to film. This is an opportunity!If the movie is sold out, maybe other directors will invite you.
After hearing this, Wu Mengda felt something was right, so he looked at the two daughters in his arms and had to sigh and nod.
The next morning, Wu Mengda shaved a rare beard and put on a suit to go to Oriental Dream Factory.
Kang Jianfei was discussing the premiere with Ma Qiao and Pan Yingzi. Li Shan called to inform that Wu Mengda had arrived. Kang Jianfei only replied: Let him wait first!
Wu Mengda could only wait outside stupidly. He sat for at least an hour and added tea several times before he heard Li Shan invite him in.
Hello, Mr. Kang!
Wu Mengda said in a flattering tone, but he felt extremely frustrated.
Last year, Wu Mengda was the popular Hu Tiehua, while Kang Jianfei was just a mainland boy swimming from the opposite side.
But now, Wu Mengda is a bad gambling man despised by everyone in the film and television industry, while Kang Jianfei is a million-dollar director praised by everyone.
Life has ups and downs, but that’s it!
sit!Kang Jianfei leaned against the leather chair and said.
Wu Mengda sat down honestly, thought about the situation at home, and finally asked with shameless face: Mr. Kang, what's going on with the pay...
Bang!Before he could finish his words, Kang Jianfei threw a stack of money on the table and asked, is three thousand yuan enough?
No matter what, Wu Mengda is also a star who just became famous last year. The amount of 3,000 yuan is like sending a beggar.
But Wu Mengda didn't argue a word, silently packed the money, squeezed out a smile and said: It's enough, thank you Mr. Kang for your support.
OK, go to the crew to report.Kang Jianfei waved his hand, as if he didn't want to stay with him for a moment.
Wu Mengda smiled at Kang Jianfei, and then stood up and walked out.
The moment I walked out of the office, Kang Jianfei's voice could only be heard from behind: Do it well, don't bet anymore in the future.As long as you are not afraid of wireless station causing trouble for you, come and hang out with me.
Wu Mengda suddenly felt his eyes a little wet, turned around and bowed silently to Kang Jianfei, before quickly walking out the door.
After he went bankrupt, he had no choice but to borrow money from Chow Yun-fat because he needed money to support his wife and daughter.
As a result, Chow Yun-fat didn't lend a penny and said to him: I'll lend it to you and use it to bet!
At that moment, Wu Mengda felt that he had been abandoned by the world and even his best friend refused to believe him.
Kang Jianfei was the first person to believe that he could change his life. Wu Mengda suddenly felt that this mainland boy was really a good person, a rare good person.
If Kang Jianfei heard Wu Mengda’s inner monologue, he would definitely be very proud. It would be great to sell others and even make people count money for him!
Kang Jianfei didn't want to intervene in the filming of "Three Minutes Heroes", after all, he would not be the only director in the company in the future.
Except for Kang Jianfei, all employees of the company's production department are involved in this movie.
Tsang Zhiwei is the director, Chen Xunqi and Hu Juncai are both deputy directors, and there are newcomers to do the stage record, so Qi Bo is still in charge of the venue affairs.
……
Time passed day by day, and the premiere of "Mr. Zombies".
During this period, "Happy Ghost" finally became a painting in Taiwan, with a final box office of more than NT$11.5 million, equivalent to more than NT$2.3 million, which is not a very good data.
"Happy Ghost" has been released in South Korea for a month, and the box office is very embarrassing.
Korean movies were very weak at this time, and South Korea was almost the dumping place for Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and had no resistance to Chinese-language movies at all.
After Jackie Chan's "The Junior Brother" was released in South Korea, it immediately caused a sensation, and many places were queuing up to buy tickets.
But "Happy Ghost" was very unlucky and encountered the Gwangju incident the next day it was released.
The first day was full of good start, but it took a sharp turn for a few days, with an average attendance rate of less than 40%.
Until the fall of "Happy Ghost", the total box office in South Korea was only more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Japan has been grinding, and what surprised Kang Jianfei was that Lei Juekun finally won the summer season for a Japanese theater chain for "Happy Ghost".
Although it has not been released yet, it has made Kang Jianfei look forward to the box office of "Happy Ghost" in Japan.
In the last few days of "Mr. Zombie", Kang Jianfei began to increase his publicity efforts, and several large Hong Kong newspapers had advertisements for "Mr. Zombie" for several consecutive days.
This publicity force made other film companies secretly amazed, and they all admire Kang Jianfei's courage.
Without the confidence that their movies will inevitably sell well, who dares to play like this?
As of the official release of "Mr. Zombie", Kang Jianfei's distribution and promotional fee was 630,000, which is already more than the local box office of some failed movies.
On June 25, 1980, Kang Jianfei's second film, "Mr. Zombie", premiered at the Golden Princess Theater.
This day was also included in the history of Chinese films because it was the first premiere of Chinese-language films.Previous Hong Kong movies were basically previewed in midnight, and then revised and officially screened.
More than 200 media outlets in Hong Kong also sent reporters to attend the premiere, which is a grand occasion that has never been seen in the history of Hong Kong film.
The price Kang Jianfei paid for this was more than 200 invitations and more than 200 premiere tickets.
The media like to pursue novel things. As soon as Kang Jianfei’s invitation was sent, these media basically came to the audience with the mentality of taking a look.
Even some media that don’t want to attend will throw the premiere tickets to a young reporter. Anyway, it’s useless if you don’t come. Why don’t you come if you have a free movie?
As for tomorrow's report, Kang Jianfei has already thought about it for the reporters: The premiere of "Mr. Zombie" is unprecedentedly lively, and more than 200 media gathered in the theater!
No matter what the facts are, the momentum has been created anyway.People have the habit of following the trend. When they hear that everyone is discussing this movie, they have to go to the cinema to watch it.
