Entertainment 1998

Chapter 173 172, Apologize
Coming very quickly!

Jiang Feng was sitting in the [Hengdian Family] restaurant and chatting with his class teacher Cui Xinqin via text messages. Teacher Cui Xinqin was already standing at the door of the restaurant, and behind her was a lady of similar age~ Hu Mei!

Many people may not know much about Hu Mei.

But when talking about her work "The Yongzheng Dynasty", these people will immediately give her a thumbs up. In a word, it's awesome!

It was precisely because of the success of "The Yongzheng Dynasty" that producer Liu Dayin and director Chen Jialin came up with the idea of ​​filming "The Kangxi Dynasty". To use a fashionable term more than a decade later, this was called riding on the popularity of the film.

The popularity was initially created by the female director Hu Mei.

When the class teacher Cui Xinqin and the well-known TV drama director Hu Mei came in, the originally bustling restaurant immediately became silent.

"Haha, Lao Cui, aren't we here at the wrong time?" Hu Mei laughed heartily.

"Classmates, I heard that the crew of Young Justice Bao will start filming tomorrow. Before the filming starts, you have a rare chance to relax, so everyone should continue singing and dancing.

I just have something to ask Jiang Feng."

Hu Mei, who was born in 1958 and is just 40 years old this year, saw the handsome Jiang Feng with eyes full of admiration. She waved at him, and then went out of the restaurant with teacher Cui Xinqin, and found a single room on the second floor of the hotel and sat down.

Also coming along was the class assistant teacher Xu Jinglei.

"Hello, Director Hu!"

Although he couldn't accept the female director's scorching gaze, Jiang Feng was still very polite. As soon as he walked into the room, he greeted her with a smile.

"Hmm..." Hu Mei looked Jiang Feng up and down and nodded.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Did you just receive a text message from your homeroom teacher, Ms. Cui? I asked her to send it. I watched the audition of you, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Guoli. To be honest, you performed the best in this 7-minute and 54-second performance. Of course, I am only speaking from my personal opinion.

You performed an 8-minute long scene in one go, freely and passionately. The emotion and rhythm were perfect. Sometimes the scene was as smooth as a river, and sometimes it was suddenly furious. Even I, who have filmed the historical drama "The Yongzheng Dynasty", secretly admired you.

Especially since I just found out you're not even 21 yet.

You not only let me see a king with the world in his heart, but also let me see a person with flesh and blood.

So, today in front of your two teachers, I want to ask you, are you willing to act in the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" that I am about to shoot? "

Hu Mei was very direct. She commented on Jiang Feng's audition this morning from a professional's perspective and also stated the purpose of her coming here with Cui Xinqin.

I want to shoot a TV series, can you be my leading actor? !
After saying that, Hu Mei reached into her bag and pulled out an agreement and placed it on the table in the single room.

[Performance Agreement of "Emperor Wu of Han"

Party A: Magic City Jinde Film and Television Production Company

Party B:__________
In view of the fact that both parties have certain market influence and resource advantages in the performing arts field, in order to further cooperate in the development of TV drama performances, the two parties have reached the following contract:
Article 1 Purpose of the Contract

Party A agrees to invite Party B to act in the TV series, and Party B agrees to accept Party A's invitation and perform the duties of an actor to complete the filming and production of the TV series.

Article 2 Performance time and venue
The filming time and location of the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" shall be determined by Party A...】

The contract is very long, more than 40 pages.

Jiang Feng didn't look at it carefully, but just flipped through it simply, because he had his own agent and the agent was responsible for handling the contract.

What I’m concerned about now is whether my pay for TV dramas has increased?

Well, not bad. The salary this female director has offered herself has now reached 5 RMB per episode, which is a five-fold increase from her previous salary.

However, just when Jiang Feng was about to close the performance agreement, he discovered a bug in episodes 16 to 46, which meant that Hu Mei only intended to invite him to play the role of Emperor Wu of Han in his youth and middle age in this agreement.

Everyone present was a smart person. When they saw Jiang Feng frowning, they all realized the problem.

"Well..., Jiang Feng, this is it.

The TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" is expected to be filmed in 60 episodes. The first 15 episodes are about his childhood, which you definitely cannot act at your age.

The last ten episodes are about his old age. I think it would be difficult for you to play an octogenarian, even though your acting skills have impressed me in the audition, the movie "Moon" and the hit TV series "Never Forget". So, I want my old partner Jiao Huang to play the last ten episodes. He is 62 years old this year and is just right for this role.

"Um…"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

"Director Hu, I have accepted the TV series 'Emperor Wu of Han'. As for the details of the contract, to be honest, as a student I don't really understand them. I'll let my agent Wang Jinghua talk to you."

"You agreed so quickly? Haven't you even read the TV series script?" At this time, Hu Mei, who was about to take the script out of her bag, stopped.

"Teacher Cui said that the script of the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" is very good and very suitable for me to play. I believe my teacher!"

"Pfft..."

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Hu Mei laughed out loud.

"Jiang Feng, I know why Lao Cui treats you so well, even better than he treats that girl named Zhao in your class, because you are so good at talking. Well, to use the words of young people, you are awesome!"

"roll!"

As soon as Hu Mei finished speaking, Cui Xinqin, who had been sitting next to her, reached out and patted her friend on the back, scolding him with a smile.

…………

Jiang Feng is generous.

Two lambs were roasted at a restaurant in Hengdian, each weighing 30 kilograms. After removing the bones from the lambs, the 96 students in the undergraduate class of the Department of Acting, plus teacher Cui Xinqin, director Hu Mei, assistant teacher Xu Jinglei, and Jiang Feng's assistant Guo Xiaofeng, each got more than a kilogram of roasted lamb.

Therefore, the lunch on May 5th was a feast to the eyes of everyone.

Among them, the most unsuccessful person is Zu Feng. Although he is not the most outstanding in appearance, he can never get enough of eating mutton. He dips the roasted lamb leg until it is golden and juicy with the special sauce made by Hengdian Yijia Restaurant, and he can eat a big piece in one bite.

In fact, Jiang Feng called his agent Wang Jinghua and Chen Daoming to come over for lunch today. They sat together for lunch, and then asked Wang Jinghua to contact director Hu Mei directly to discuss the details of the contract for the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han". Wang Jinghua also agreed on the phone and said that she would be there soon...

However, by 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the roast whole lamb banquet was over, Jiang Feng and Hu Mei still hadn't seen Wang Jinghua and Chen Daoming come over.

……

After coming out of the restaurant and saying goodbye to his classmates who were staying at the nearby Gaofeng Hotel, Jiang Feng took out his cell phone and prepared to call Wang Jinghua to ask what had happened. At this time, he received a rare call from Chen Jiaying, the agent of pop queen Wang Fei.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Hello, Sister Ying!"

"Well... I have some good news for you. Fei's English album "Apologize", which was originally scheduled to be released on April 4, finally officially entered the European and American music market last Monday.

In just the first week, "Apologize" topped the singles charts in 15 European countries. In addition, the song has also officially appeared on the US Billboard Music Chart, currently ranking seventh.

"Oh, really? Congratulations!"

Wang Fei achieved results, and Jiang Feng was also happy.

Firstly, after substantial contact, the two did develop feelings for each other; secondly, from now on, the name of musician Jiang Yulang would definitely come into the vision of more people, and his income would also increase as a result.

Just as she was thinking about it, Chen Jiaying spoke again.

"Jiang Feng, according to Ah Fei's habit, when her music album sells well, she will give red envelopes to music creators, music producers, and musicians. So, tell me your card number later and I will transfer your bonus to you."

At this point, Chen Jiaying suddenly paused and said, "Jiang Feng, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Can you help Ah Fei compose a song for her Mandarin album?

Recently, A Fei's Mandarin album has not been very smooth in collecting songs, and some songs do not meet our requirements at all.

And Ah Fei doesn't want me to trouble you with these."

"Hmm..." Jiang Feng frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Sister Ying, some time ago, when I was filming in Hengdian, a staff member from Hong Kong Island from the crew of "The Flying Dagger of Li" heard a Japanese song that particularly attracted me.

The name of this Japanese song is "未来へ", and the lyricist and composer are both Tamashiro Chiharu. If you buy the copyright of this song, I can help you rewrite the lyrics to make it a classic Mandarin song. In terms of song popularity, I guarantee that it will be no less popular than "千千阙歌". "
