Entertainment 1998

Chapter 144 143, Hengdian

Just slept at home for one night!
Early the next morning, Jiang Feng left with his assistant Li Xing.

The reason why we left so early was that it would be difficult to buy tickets if we left later. In the late 90s, there were already a lot of people leaving Caozhou to work outside their hometowns, especially bus tickets to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They were simply not available right after the Chinese New Year.

But it was not bad, because my fifth sister Jiang Hua had been working in Kunshan for the past few years and she knew when to leave, so there would be relatively fewer people around.

So, at five o'clock in the morning on the third day of the New Year, Jiang Feng boarded the bus from Cao County to Lin'an.

The bus was a bit crowded.

Not only was the car full, but there were also more than a dozen stools placed in the middle aisle, with more than a dozen people sitting on them.

But it’s not bad, because this bus was newly purchased and there is a brand new TV inside that can play videos.

The car owner must be a fan of Star.

Ever since Jiang Feng and Li Xing got on the car, Stephen Chow's works have been playing in the car, from "A Chinese Odyssey" a few years ago to his latest work "The King of Comedy".

When Jiang Feng saw "The King of Comedy" on the moving bus, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This movie was released in Hong Kong Island on February 2, and today is only February 13, and pirated discs have already been released in the mainland.

Faced with such powerful pirates, it is no wonder that making movies in China now does not make any money at all.

The distance is seven or eight hundred kilometers, and the road is not easy to travel. In the past life, it would only take seven or eight hours to take the highway, but today it took 16 hours, and the car arrived in Lin'an city at 9 o'clock in the evening.

At 9: in the evening, Jiang Feng got off the car and walked out of the bus station. He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Yu Feihong who was also going home for the New Year. Before the Spring Festival, the two had agreed that on the fourth day of the first lunar month, they would meet in Lin'an and then drive to Hengdian to film. He would play the role of Li Xunhuan, and she would play the role of Fairy Jinghong, a character that did not exist at all in the original novel.

Now, although it is the third night of the first lunar month, Jiang Feng still wants to ask Yu Feihong if they have arrived yet.
But just as he took out his cell phone, Jiang Feng heard a car horn. Turning around, he saw a black Mitsubishi Pajero with a Beijing license plate parked quietly under a street light.

"Hey, Sister Feihong, why did you come to pick me up?" Jiang Feng asked curiously when he walked over.

"This afternoon, you sent a text message to Teacher Cui asking for leave, saying that you had boarded the bus to Lin'an.

So, when I got the news, I came here to wait for you."

Yu Feihong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, smoking a cigarette with a dazed look in his eyes, waited for Jiang Feng and Li Xing to put their luggage in the trunk of the car and get in.

Yu Feihong flicked the cigarette butt away, started the car, and drove the Mitsubishi Pajero onto the main road of the city.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"We have two choices. Either we find a place to eat first, or we drive directly to Hengdian. But we have to make it clear in advance that we have to leave after we find a place to eat." Yu Feihong's words did not allow for refusal.

"Ah, can we walk at night?"

Jiang Feng was a little scared.

At that time, the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and Zhuyong Expressway had not yet been built. If you wanted to go to Hengdian, you had to take the national highway, provincial highway or even county road. If you didn’t know the road, it would be easy to get lost.

I was originally going to Dongyang, but ended up going to Taizhou.

However, just as Jiang Feng finished speaking, he saw Yu Feihong driving, turning on his cell phone, finding a phone number and dialing it.

"Master, let's go, we will gather at the gate of Zhejiang University.

The car I drive is a black Mitsubishi Pajero with a Beijing license plate. Just as we agreed, you lead the way and we follow behind. I will pay you 500 yuan for the fare when we get to Hengdian."

wipe…

How can this woman be so smart?!
If she doesn't know the way, she can find an experienced taxi driver in Lin'an to lead the way. After all, she can just pay him when she gets to the destination.

…………Zhejiang Province, Hengdian World Studios
This small town in the south of the Yangtze River, which will be known as the Hollywood of the East in the future, has not yet completely reached the point of standing out among the mainland's film and television cities. But overall, its current overall strength can firmly rank among the top three.

Especially last year, after the Qin Palace, which was built when director Kai Ge filmed the epic masterpiece "The Emperor and the Assassin", was settled, Hengdian Film and Television City became very popular.

It is precisely because of the popularity of Hengdian Film and Television City that Director Kai Ge has gone further and further off the track. From now on, whenever he makes a movie, he will definitely build a film and television city at the same time.

Even if it loses money at the box office like "The Emperor and the Assassin", the film and television city can still engage in tourism, and at the very least, it can still make some money from the land...

After 4 and a half hours of bumpy ride on the road, Jiang Feng, who is now driving, is looking at Hengdian at night, but in his heart he has been complaining about the cultural figure Lao Chen in the circle.

Although his talent is only 50 points, he insists on doing things that are 100 points, and even demands that others praise him.

Ha ha…

Speaking of which, I really want to play a role in Director Kaige's crew. It's not because I admire his talent, but Jiang Feng wants to get a close look at this director who was ridiculed by countless netizens in his previous life. Is he as conceited in real life as he is in front of the camera? !
Just as I was thinking about it, the taxi leading the way in front slowly stopped at the only traffic light intersection in Hengdian Town.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng also parked his Mitsubishi Pajero at the intersection. He stopped the car, turned around to look at Yu Feihong who was sleeping in the passenger seat, and then looked back at Li Xing who was also sleeping in the back seat of the car.

He took out 600 yuan from his pocket, held it in his hand, and handed the money through the window to the taxi driver who was running over.

"Thank you, Master!"

"We originally agreed that the guide fee is 500, and the other is your tip."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

The taxi driver was also a hard-earned man. He came out to lead the way during the New Year. When he saw the tip Jiang Feng handed him, he immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

"Well, you are Jiang Feng, right? The star who performed at the Spring Festival Gala."

The taxi driver received the money and was about to walk towards his taxi, but at this moment, he suddenly turned around and said.

"That's right." Jiang Feng said.

"Hey, I've seen your performance on the Spring Festival Gala, the songs were good, and the skits were pretty good too.

It’s just that this is your first time to come to Hengdian to film, so I have a piece of advice for you. If you are looking for a hotel to stay in town, it’s best to go to a resort and avoid any other hotels.”

"Oh, why?" Jiang Feng was curious.

Because he and Yu Feihong were in the same crew, to be honest, Jiang Feng really wanted to find another hotel in town to stay in, instead of staying in the Hengdian Resort with the "The Flying Dagger" crew.

After all, there are some things that the fewer people who know about them, the better. It’s not that I’m afraid, but I’m afraid that Yu Feihong will be embarrassed.

But the taxi driver didn't want to talk more about this matter. He just smiled and ran straight to his taxi.

"Well, Jiang Feng, let's go to the resort, which is not far ahead."

Yu Feihong, who had been sleeping soundly just now, sat up from the passenger seat, took out a rubber band from her pocket, and simply tied up her hair.

“What the driver said just now is right. There are many film crews coming here to shoot movies, and some locals with dirty minds have set their sights on celebrities.

They take photos of male and female stars in love, or even secretly take photos of male and female stars in bed, and then sell them to the media. Since the mainland media dare not publish them, they sell them to the Hong Kong and Taiwan media.

The Hengdian Resort was built by Hengdian World Studios itself, and they said they would never damage their own reputation.”

Having said this, Yu Feihong reached out and grabbed Jiang Feng's hand, smiled gently, and said:
"Jiang Feng, it's okay. From now on, I will go to your room every night."
