As early as 1979, the mainland established a Chinese film cooperative production company, referred to as the co-production company, which is specifically responsible for co-production of films in the mainland with overseas film companies.
Moreover, this kind of cooperation is very interesting. Basically, overseas companies pay for money and technology, while co-production companies produce people and places, and overseas box offices belong to partners, and mainland box offices belong to co-production companies.
The Hepai Company is affiliated to the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture and usually only has a few managers and contact persons.
Once you receive a co-production task, you can mobilize resources nationwide. Not to mention the directors and photographers from film factories in various places, even the army can contact you to assist in the shooting.
Kang Jianfei initially contacted Zhang Ling and said that he wanted to film in mainland China, Zhang Ling wanted to help him contact the co-production company, but Kang Jianfei refused.
Oriental DreamWorks will sell movies in Taiwan in the future. If this movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is not released in Taiwan and does not promote cooperation with the mainland, the Taiwanese authorities may turn a blind eye.
Even if it is banned by Taiwan's news bureau for this, it can be resolved by relationships.
But once "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" becomes a co-production film, the Taiwan authorities will definitely have no room for compromise.
Kang Jianfei came to the mainland this time, so he naturally needed the cooperation of the mainland, and he also needed some expressions.
For example, filming the scenes of monks practicing martial arts in Shaolin Temple and Dong Tianbao practicing military training requires many supporting actors with a foundation of kung fu.
These actors are provided by the Beijing Wushu Team and the Shandong Wushu Team. Each person is paid 8 yuan per day and the round-trip fee is reimbursed. In addition, Kang Jianfei also promised to sponsor 10,000 yuan for the two martial arts teams respectively for activity fees.
The local government has been contacted on the ancient city of Lijiang, and Oriental Dream Factory invested 50,000 yuan to renovate and repair local street buildings.
Although there are not many dramas in Shaolin Temple, Kang Jianfei still decided to donate 10,000 yuan in incense expenses, which is already a huge sum of money for Shaolin Temple, which is still deserted.
The members of the Shandong Martial Arts Team have been taken to Beijing by Yu Hai in advance. In order to save money for the team, they squeezed into the dormitory with the members of the Beijing Martial Arts Team last night.
As for the people brought by Kang Jianfei, they were arranged tonight at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, where the charging standards are in line with international standards, and the accommodation fee alone made Kang Jianfei a lot of money.
According to Kang Jianfei's idea, it would be best to take a bus to Shaolin Temple today, but Zhang Ling and Chen Mo insisted that Kang Jianfei stay one more night. Moreover, Wu Bing, the captain of the Beijing Martial Arts Team, organized a performance program for them, Hong Kong compatriots...
After lunch, Chen Mo took Kang Jianfei and his group, accompanied by Wu Bing, Yu Hai and others, to the Beijing Martial Arts Team. At this time, Zhang Ling had already returned to the Hong Kong and Macau office to work.
The Beijing Wushu Team was established later than the Shandong Wushu Team, but they have performed better in martial arts competitions in recent years, and have cultivated talents like Jet Li who have won national championships for several consecutive years.
After arriving at the destination, Kang Jianfei found that Shichahai Sports School is still very backward, with only a row of simple dormitories and some old practice rooms.
Looking at the simple house and various weapons, Hui Tianci couldn't help but say: Is this the Beijing Martial Arts Team?Not as good as Ah than our Spring and Autumn Theatre School.However, the weapons are very rich at that time, and many of them have never been seen before.
Wu Bing, the captain of the Beijing Martial Arts Team and the secretary-general of the Beijing Martial Arts Association, said proudly: It is already very good. When our martial arts team was first established 10 years ago, eight or nine people slept in a small wooden house, and there was no fixed training location. They all practiced martial arts in the park and on the road.
When Wu Bing said this, the crew brought by Kang Jianfei was immediately respectful.
In fact, Wu Bing only said half of the words, that is, during the Cultural Revolution, there were all kinds of difficulties in practicing martial arts. When the Beijing Martial Arts Team was in the most difficult time, he led his team members to secretly hide and train.
The members of the Beijing Wushu Team and Shandong Wushu Team have come out to gather and applaud and welcome the arrival of Hong Kong compatriots.
Wu Bing and Yu Hai waved to each other to call two children. These two children were small team members selected from the two teams to play Zhang Sanfeng and Dong Tianbao in their childhood.
Wu Bing patted the seven or eight-year-old child and said: Director Kang, this kid is named Wu Jing. He has been practicing martial arts for almost two years. He is a good piece of material.
Kang Jianfei looked at Wu Jing with a little surprise and a little amused, thinking that if Zhao Wenzhuo came again, it would be a collection of three future kung fu superstars.
Yu Hai also brought him the child to Kang Jianfei and said: Director Kang, this child is called Jiang Yuan. He has been practicing martial arts for more than three years. Do you think he is still suitable?
Well, it's good, all are very good.Kang Jianfei nodded and said.
Comrade Chen Mo, who was in charge of accompanying Kang Jianfei throughout the whole process, said: Captain Wu and Captain Yu, why don’t we watch the performance first.The time is precious for comrades from Hong Kong, and they will go to Shaolin Temple tomorrow.
OK OK, watch the performance first.Wu Bing said with a smile.
He led everyone to a relatively spacious training room. The team members brought a bench for Kang Jianfei and the others to sit on, while they stood aside to cheer for their companions in charge of martial arts performances.
This martial arts performance was not very formal. The Shandong team and the Beijing team selected several players to perform fists and feet and equipment respectively.
Chen Mo took the opportunity to introduce: Mr. Kang, our two teams have visited dozens of countries around the world, and have also been personally received by the US President and the Japanese Prime Minister.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Hahaha, then I have become presidential treatment.
Soon a female player came on the court. A set of Bagua Zhang was like flowing water, but there were many killer moves hidden in the secret. Kang Jianfei couldn't help but want to praise him loudly.
Hui Yinghong felt even more ashamed of seeing her. Her wild ways were too far from the female team member in front of her.
Kang Jianfei asked Wu Bing: What is the name of this woman?I didn't see her Ah when I performed in Hong Kong last time.
Wu Bing said: Her name is Ge Chunyan. Among the members of our Beijing Martial Arts Team, Jet Li is the male, and Ge Chunyan is the female.She is the fifth generation successor of Baguazhang. This set of martial arts is not taught by me, but her other master.
After a set of gossip pants, everyone applauded. Among the players watching the performance, one of them clapped his hands and shouted in English: Wai Rui's milk is dead!
Kang Jianfei hadn't noticed yet, and he kept hearing the person cheering in English before looking for a sound.
At a glance, he almost spurted out an old blood. Damn, there are not only Jet Li and Wu Jing in Shichahai Sports School, but why are Donnie Yen also there?
Kang Jianfei couldn't help but point at Donnie Yen and asked Wu Bing: Captain Wu, how does that team member speak English?
Wu Bing explained: You said Donnie Yen Ah, he is the son of an old friend of mine.Donnie Yen's mother is a master of Tai Chi. She has taught him martial arts since she was a child, but this kid has a very bad temper. After learning martial arts, he fought in the United States every day, so his mother sent him back to my country and asked me to discipline him.
Oh, so that's it.Kang Jianfei nodded, looked around and found that Jet Li was not there, and asked, Where is Jet Li?
Wu Bing said: Xiao Li took Master Chen Xiaoxing, and Master Chen also arrived in Beijing this afternoon.
Because this time, Jet Li has not yet systematically learned Tai Chi.
So when Hu Juncai came to Beijing to sign Jet Li, Kang Jianfei asked Jet Li to learn Tai Chi in advance. He has been practicing for almost two months now.
Chen Xiaoxing is the successor of Chen's Tai Chi, and is also the grandson of Chen Fake, a Tai Chi master of a generation.
However, when Chen Xiaoxing was young, his father was imprisoned for selling cows from the village and eventually died of illness. Chen Xiaoxing learned Tai Chi Kung Fu from his uncle, and now he has won several national Tai Chi competition championships.
Kang Jianfei didn't know much about Tai Chi. Not only did Jet Li learn Tai Chi for two months from Chen Xiaoxing, but he also planned to let Chen Xiaoxing be a martial arts consultant in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng".
After a series of performances, Chen Mo was about to take Kang Jianfei and others around to let Hong Kong compatriots admire the style of the imperial capital.
Before everyone could walk out of Shichahai Sports School, Donnie Yen suddenly ran up and intercepted them, pointed at Kang Jianfei and said: I heard that you are the number one expert in Hong Kong. Are you interested in making a gesture?
Kang Jianfei looked at the middle school boy and said to Wu Bing who came to send them back: It seems that Captain Wu's discipline is not very successful.
Wu Bing's face turned dark and scolded: Donnie Yen, why are you making a fool of yourself? Go and kick me five hundred times right away!
Donnie Yen has been in the sports school for more than a year. When he first came, he was a little scared. Now that he has become familiar with him, he has long stopped taking Wu Bing seriously.
A few years ago, he fought all over the entire community in the United States, and even the local gangs sold him a little bit of face, and he was a street fighter.
Some time ago, the martial arts exchange group went to Hong Kong to perform, and some people brought back many Hong Kong martial arts magazines.
Donnie Yen, who had no chance to contact the outside world in a sports school, read all the martial arts magazines, and had a deep impression of Kang Jianfei.
An article in the magazine praised Kang Jianfei as the number one master in Hong Kong. At that time, Donnie Yen wanted to go to Hong Kong to have a competition. Now Kang Jianfei takes the initiative to deliver it to the door, how could Donnie Yen let it go?
Do you dare to compare?If you dare not compare, you admit that your skills are not as good as mine.
Donnie Yen said very arrogantly that, in conjunction with the sports school uniform she wore, a middle school domineering aura that was invisible to look directly out of her body.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: You are not over 18 years old, are you?If I compete with you, others will say that I beat my child.
Wen Bixia is very confident in Kang Jianfei's skills. Her heart is tied to Kang Jianfei. Donnie Yen's provocation of Kang Jianfei made her very unhappy.
Wen Bixia wanted Kang Jianfei to teach this guy a lesson, and exhorted: Brother, you are only 20 years old, and no matter how you hit him, it is not considered bullying the child.
Moreover, this kind of cooperation is very interesting. Basically, overseas companies pay for money and technology, while co-production companies produce people and places, and overseas box offices belong to partners, and mainland box offices belong to co-production companies.
The Hepai Company is affiliated to the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture and usually only has a few managers and contact persons.
Once you receive a co-production task, you can mobilize resources nationwide. Not to mention the directors and photographers from film factories in various places, even the army can contact you to assist in the shooting.
