Entertainment 1998

Chapter 251 Chapter 250, Charge into Battle

"No time!"

After hearing the message that Yan Danchen asked Li Jia to bring, Jiang Feng gave a direct reply.

This is how relationships between men and women work. When it’s time to break up, break up. Once that happens, there’s no need to struggle any longer. From now on, you act in your movies, I sing my songs, and I film my TV series.

As for why I helped you last time...

That is what I should do out of my conscience as a man. After all, I was once your first man.

Li Jia is a nice person.

He just delivered a message and never gave random advice. Seeing that Jiang Feng refused straightforwardly, he took the initiative to stand aside and watch the "Saw" crew filming.

Our class teacher, Cui Xinqin, had some requirements for everyone to participate in the filming of "Saw". We were about to graduate, and if this movie could be as successful at the St. Denis Film Festival as last year's "Moon", then it would be adapted into a drama and performed publicly at the Film Academy as the graduation drama of the 1996 undergraduate class of the Department of Acting.

If that were the case, everyone in the class would have a role, so Li Jia felt that she had to study Jiang Feng and Liang Jiahui's performances carefully.

Just as she thought this, she saw assistant teacher Xu Jinglei nodded to Chen Kun, who had just returned from "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind". After turning off the lights in the bathhouse, Chen Kun hit the clapperboard in his hand again.

"Action!"

"Wow, wow, wow..."

In the darkness, I remembered the sound of iron chains dragging on the ground.

"Oh!"

It seemed like someone fell down, and as soon as the sound of the fall passed, someone shouted for help.

"Help, someone, I'm locked up."

I called for help for a while, but no one responded.

"Is anyone here?"

"I see you."

"Yes, yes, I'm talking about you. Why are you still silent?"

This man obviously understood the art of war. Even when asking for help, he used deception. But it was of no use. No matter how much he cheated, there was no sound in the darkness.

At this time, he finally became depressed.

"Shit, I might be dead."

"No, you're not dead!"

As soon as that person finished speaking, there was finally a voice from the other side.

"Who? Who are you? Turn on the light if you dare."

"Turn on the light... I want to, too."

"What the hell? Where is this?"

"I do not know either."

"However, I advise you to save your energy, because I just shouted for half an hour, but no one responded to me..."

Before the man could finish his words, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, emitting a blinding light.

"OK, very good!"

The lights came on and Xu Jinglei, the executive deputy director, called for a stop.

"Jiang Feng, Brother Hui, I'll give you five minutes to adjust your mood, and then we'll continue filming."

I don’t know if it was because it was her first time as a director, but Xu Jinglei seemed particularly excited with the walkie-talkie in her hand.

But at this time, Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Director Xu..."

"Ok?"

Xu Jinglei was a little confused.

Is it so formal?
You know, even in bed before, Jiang Feng would call himself Teacher Xu. He said that this name seemed intimate and would make him feel more ready to charge into battle, not to mention when he was on the crew.

But why would he call himself Director Xu today?
"Director Xu, let me tell you something. When filming, whether the director shouts start or end, the timing is important. For example, just now, you could have waited a minute before shouting stop, but you shouted stop right away."

"Is there a difference?"

Xu Jinglei frowned.

"Director Xu, there is a difference."

At this time, Liang Jiahui, who was sitting on the other side of the abandoned bathhouse and wearing a blue shirt, spoke.

"Because turning on the light is very dazzling, it takes 10 to 30 seconds, or even up to a minute, for the human eye to adapt to the bright light environment.

If you had called cut a minute later, we would have been able to capture the blurry shot very naturally without having to act it out or do it again.”

Liang Jiahui is worthy of being called the actor with many faces. He has extensive experience in filming. He explained Jiang Feng's meaning clearly in just two short paragraphs.

Hearing this, Xu Jinglei felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "Thank you, Brother Hui, thank you, Director Jiang. I will pay attention next time."

"Bullshit!"

Standing outside the filming site and watching this scene from afar, Kong Wei, the monitor of the 96 undergraduate class of the Department of Performance, cursed in a low voice.

In the past, I only knew that Jiang Feng was a great actor and that his acting skills alone could carry an entire movie. Now, I didn’t expect that he could be so awesome as a director too. Jiang Feng could point out things that the teaching assistant Xu Jinglei had never even thought of.

Thinking of this, Kong Wei nudged Li Jia who was standing next to him with his elbow.

"Hey, Jia Jia..."

"What's wrong?" Li Jia asked in a low voice, trying not to disturb Jiang Feng and Liang Jiahui who were sitting on the floor at the shooting location to adjust their emotions.

"Didn't Teacher Cui say that our class's graduation play was going to be adapted into a play using the script of Saw?"

"I do have this idea." Li Jia nodded.

"However, it has not been finalized yet. It depends on whether this film can win an award at the St. Denis Film Festival next year. If it wins, our school will basically agree to it."

As the Youth League Secretary of the 96 undergraduate class of the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy, Li Jia knew some inside information about this matter.

"Well, Jia Jia, I have an idea.

Since Jiang Feng can write, direct and act, why don't we let him write a movie script, include all the students in our class, and then use the school's machines and equipment to make a movie as our class's graduation drama? ! "

"Eh..., yeah!

That's a good idea.

Well, let's put it this way. When Jiang Feng finishes filming Saw, we will talk to him. As long as he agrees, there will be absolutely no problem with the class teacher."

Just as Li Jia and Kong Wei were whispering, the lights in the abandoned bathhouse suddenly went out, and then everyone heard the sound of Chen Kun hitting the board.

"Action!"

"What does it smell like?"

“I don’t smell it.”

In the darkness, two people were talking, and suddenly, rows of lights were turned on.

The sudden onset of strong light made a young man in a striped shirt unable to open his eyes. He covered his eyes with his hands. It took him a long time to slowly adapt to the current environment.

This looked like a bathhouse that had been abandoned for a long time, and on the floor in front, there was a dead body with what looked like its head had been blown open.

"what…"

The scene had just been filmed to this point when a scream was heard on the set. Jiang Feng frowned, but in a moment, he covered his mouth with his hands.

This scream can be regarded as coming from my buddy. Although it is slightly different from what is written in the script, it can be perfect with a slight adjustment of the camera.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Xu Jinglei's voice was heard from the filming site.

"Who, who just screamed?"

"Didn't Director Jiang tell everyone in advance? The shooting scene would be a little bloody. I hope everyone wouldn't be startled. In the end, you still disrupted our crew's filming."

As the furious Xu Jinglei was speaking, someone raised his hand at the door of the abandoned bathhouse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. It's me. I just came in and didn't know our crew had this rule. Of course, I was also really scared by the 'dead body' on the floor."
