Entertainment 1998

Chapter 21 21, Threat

I have a pager.

Just when Jiang Feng finished his lunch and came out of the cafeteria of Beijing Jiaotong University, director Zhao Baogang's assistant brought him a Chinese pager in pretty good condition.

It's black and quite big.

Jiang Feng originally thought it was fake, and that it was just a prop he used when filming the TV series "Never Close Your Eyes". However, after fiddling with it for a while, he found that it was actually the real thing.

Before he even opened his mouth to ask, Zhao Baogang's assistant smiled.

Jiang Feng, this is the director’s own pager, of course it can be used normally.

Since the director has bought a mobile phone and doesn't need it anymore, just donate it as a prop for you in the TV series.

Oh, right.

The director also said, this thing is for you.

Pagers were still a rare item in 98. If it was a brand new Chinese-language pager, the price would range from 2000 to 5000 yuan.

But if it is second-hand, it would only be around five or six hundred yuan.

But now, Jiang Feng is not concerned about this. He is concerned about whether the director Zhao Baogang and the screenwriter Haiyan have discussed any results...

Will the male lead Xiao Tong be replaced?
Originally, Jiang Feng wanted to ask this young assistant some questions, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Since you have decided to wait and see, you should act like you are waiting and seeing.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng saw Yuan Li again.

At this time, Yuan Li looked much better than before the Spring Festival. She laughed and talked, and walked with a breeze. When she saw Zhao Baogang, she took his arm and kept calling him "director".

Seeing her, Jiang Feng wanted to leave.

After all, whether it was the characters played by both parties in the TV series or in real life, Jiang Feng and Yuan Li did not get along well with each other. Even when they spoke, it was quite reluctant.

Since it's quite reluctant, then don't force it.

But a strange scene occurred. Just when Jiang Feng was about to find a bicycle to ride a few laps to practice his movements for the next scene, Yuan Li actually came to him on his own initiative.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"I have good news for you."

"Say!"

Just like Xiao Tong's attitude towards Ouyang Lanlan in the play, Jiang Feng also ignored Yuan Li.

"You're almost free.

I said you'll be free soon.

The director just now loosened his lips and said that as long as producer Liu Yanming agreed and was willing to bear the initial losses of the crew due to the change of roles, then the director was willing to give the role of Xiao Tong to Lu Yi. "

"Oh, that's really good news."

Jiang Feng smiled easily upon hearing this.

"Hey, why are you laughing?" Yuan Li frowned.

"Why can't I laugh?"

Jiang Feng asked back, "The Beijing Film Academy has signed a performance contract with the crew of Never Forget Me, and if it weren't for my performance that forced the crew to replace me, the crew would not only pay me the full salary, but also pay me a considerable amount of compensation."

"Uh…"

"Oh, and also, Senior Sister Yuan Li.

I'm letting you know in advance. Regardless of whether it was your idea for Teacher Haiyan to ask the crew to replace Lu Yi with the role of Xiao Tong, I will assume that it was your idea.

If I can continue acting in this TV series, then congratulations, you're fine.

If I am as miserable as my classmate Chen Kun, then I'm sorry, you are out of luck. I will tell the teachers, principal and students of Beijing Film Academy that it was you who insisted that the students of Beijing Film Academy are not as good at acting as those of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

That's why you repeatedly asked the crew to replace Lu Yi to play this role.

The Beijing Film Academy may not be able to do anything to Zhao Baogang and Haiyan, after all, they are both well-known figures, but to deal with a certain traitor in the film academy..., hehe."

He stopped talking here, sneered twice, and without even looking at Yuan Li, Jiang Feng went directly to the bicycle shed next to the boys' dormitory building.

I had to prepare in advance for the next scene where Xiao Tong rode his bicycle out and met Ouyang Lanlan at the school gate. In a word, as an actor, as long as the director did not publicly tell me to pack up and leave, I had to do my job well.

……

"Everyone, take your positions... and begin."

Director Zhao Baogang is such a man that when filming starts, he neither says "action" nor says which scene or shot it is. He even doesn't want a staff member to clap boards. He just sits behind the director's monitor and shouts out commands himself.

Hearing Zhao Baogang's command, Jiang Feng skillfully rode his bicycle from the boys' dormitory building to the school gate.

However, before he rode to the school gate, he saw a short-haired beauty wearing a long white down jacket walking in from outside the school. The short-haired beauty had a pair of sunglasses on her nose.

Seeing her, Jiang Feng wanted to hide.

But before Jiang Feng turned his bicycle around, he heard the beautiful woman shouting behind him:

"Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong..."

Hearing the shout, Jiang Feng had no choice but to turn his head.

"You...you are Ouyang Lanlan, right?"

"Yes, I'm Ouyang Lanlan."

Walking in front of Jiang Feng, Yuan Li took off his sunglasses.

"Are you here to see me?" Jiang Feng asked pretending to be ignorant.

"Yes, I'm here to see you, Xiao Tong. I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Well... come on."

Seeing that there were more boys on the basketball court side, Jiang Feng tilted his head towards the bicycle shed.

"OK, passed."

When the scene reached this point, director Zhao Baogang applauded.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Yes, director."

"Yes, this feeling is right. It is much better than the state before the Spring Festival. You are a 20-year-old college student. You should be in high spirits instead of frowning and thinking about your own affairs all day long."

"Hey, it's the director."

Jiang Feng smiled happily after receiving the compliment. Then he took out the huge Chinese-language pager from his down jacket pocket and waved it in the air.

"Director, before the Spring Festival, I was mainly worried that it was inconvenient for you to contact me, and I was afraid that I would miss your greeting, so I was worried.

But now, you gave me this, and I feel happy, and my frown naturally relaxes.

So my recovery must be attributed entirely to you..."

Before Jiang Feng finished his flattering words, Zhao Baogang, who was standing next to the director's monitor, laughed and scolded:

"Jiang Feng, you are just a flatterer!"

At this point, Zhao Baogang suddenly paused, and then said with a hint of meaning: "Okay, Jiang Feng, stop thinking about it and focus on filming."

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he started laughing.

"Thank you, thank you director."

"Don't thank me, thank yourself if you want to thank someone." Zhao Baogang waved his hand and picked up the walkie-talkie on the ground again.

"Everyone, take your positions and begin."

"Hey, what did Professor Yu say to you?" Jiang Feng asked as he pushed his bicycle.

"He said that you had a good impression of me and wanted to develop a romantic relationship with me."

"Ah..., how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Seeing Jiang Feng so surprised, Yuan Li frowned.

"Could it be that everything Professor Yu said to my dad was false?"

"Uh, no, no, Miss Ouyang, listen to me..." At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly seemed a little flustered.
