Chapter 319 Chapter 318, The Stubborn International Film Queen

Jiang Feng, the martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Chinese-American director Li An from Hollywood has been completed in Beijing. At 4 pm on April 17, he will invite more than a dozen well-known directors and producers in the circle to watch the film together, and you are among the invited guests.

Therefore, I suggest you come and join us!
It doesn’t matter whether the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is good or not, the key is that you can get to know a lot of people in the circle.

……

When Jiang Feng heard the news from his agent Wang Jinghua and class teacher Cui Xinqin, he was already standing in the Gusu Tianping Mountain Scenic Area, preparing to go down to shoot the first major scene of the day [Master's wife and disciples send Brother Chong to the Cliff of Repentance].

To be honest, Jiang Feng was a little confused.

Is your status rising so fast? Can you attract Li An's attention now?
But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Feng understood it instantly.

It’s not that his status is rising fast, but Li An has other plans. The movie "Moon" was invested with 120 million RMB and won nearly 2300 million US dollars in the overseas box office; the movie "Saw" was invested with 176 million RMB and won 2500 million US dollars in the first week in North America...

In this case, perhaps Li An thinks that he has grasped the pulse of foreign moviegoers, especially American audiences, and knows what they want to see?
Therefore, Li An invited me to participate in this industry film viewing meeting through various channels, with the purpose of letting me give him some suggestions.

He could have ignored the message from his agent Wang Jinghua and told her he didn't have time because he had to go to Taipei on April 4 to attend the Golden Melody Awards ceremony. But Jiang Feng had to take the call from his class teacher Cui Xinqin seriously...

Because the people who asked her to pass on the message were Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Zhang Yimou, Li Shaohong and Hu Mei. In 1978, when they were studying at the Beijing Film Academy, they were classmates with Cui Xinqin.

Well, there’s nothing I can do!
Jiang Feng could only grit his teeth and tighten up his schedule for the three days of leave. He flew from Suzhou to Beijing early in the morning on April 4, arrived in Beijing in the afternoon to watch a movie, and might have a party with these big directors in the evening.

I flew to Taipei early in the morning on April 4th, arrived at the destination, ran schedule in the afternoon, attended the award ceremony in the evening, and returned on the earliest flight early in the morning on April 18th.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng informed Li Xing of his plan via text message, asking her to help deal with many matters related to traveling to Beijing and Taiwan, including purchasing air tickets, applying for a tourist visa to Taiwan, and contacting the organizers of business activities during his stay in Taiwan.

After Jiang Feng sent the text message, he handed the phone to Dawei beside him, and the script supervisor in the crew raised the clapperboard in his hand.

"The TV series "Swordsman" Scene 1414, Shot 1, Time 1, Ready... Go."

Li Jie walked into Jiang Feng's room and quietly placed two taels of silver on the table at the end of the bed.

At this time, Jiang Feng, who happened to come in with a wine gourd, saw Li Jie a little embarrassed. Jiang Feng saw the silver on the table and immediately teased: "Oh, I really want to spend my whole life on the cliff of regret!"

Li Jie smiled and explained: "This is a little gift from everyone!"

But Jiang Feng returned the silver to Li Jie and said with a laugh: "There's not even a bird landing on the Cliff of Repentance, where can I spend the silver? Well, take it back!"

……

Jiang Feng was filming in the room, and Jin Yong, who came to visit the crew, sat outside the filming site and watched.

Of course, he was not just watching the excitement, but was watching the crew filming while referring to the "Character Biographies" written by Jiang Feng for "Swordsman".

[The gift of silver is certainly not suitable for Linghu Chong who is about to go to the Cliff of Regret at this moment, but Linghu Chong can easily judge that this gift is Lin Pingzhi's personal behavior rather than the behavior of his fellow disciples, and then he can easily judge that the monkey was sent by the six monkeys.

Mr. Jin Yong implies here that Lin Pingzhi won the favor of Huashan disciples through silver, and also implies the characteristics of Lin Pingzhi. Lin Pingzhi is like this silver, he is a treasure that everyone will be fascinated by. Even because he possesses the secret of "Bixie Sword Manual", he himself is more fascinating than silver.

This also illustrates the character of Linghu Chong. Just as he does not covet Lin Pingzhi's silver, Linghu Chong is not obsessed with Lin Pingzhi's treasure. Although Linghu Chong has many normal emotions and desires, he can restrain his own heart, do what he should do and not do what he should not do. His character is lofty and detached enough to resist many evil temptations.

This kind of temptation is very subtle, quick, and strong. Many people cannot get through it, and soon someone will be tempted, including Yue Lingshan. 】 "OK, passed, next set of shots."

Hearing the command from the crew director Huang Jianzhong, Mr. Jin Yong slowly raised his head from the "Biography" printed by the crew.

"How is it? Mr. Cha, Jiang Feng's filming is pretty good, right?"

Zhang Da Huzi was very proud. Jiang Feng was very fast in filming TV series. If the co-actor cooperated, he would never shoot a second take. Now that Jin Yong came to visit the set, it would be good for him to get to know this young talent from the mainland.

"Um…"

Faced with the question, Jin Yong thought for a moment and patted the "Biography" in his hand.

"Director Zhang, I have absolute confidence in the acting ability of the actor who could write such a thing, because he directly analyzed each storyline, and even the connection between two storylines, which even I, the original author of the novel, did not expect."

"Hey, yes, yes."

Zhang Da Huzi smiled naturally and happily when his actors were praised, and at this moment, the filming of the next scene began.

"The TV series "Swordsman" Scene 1415, Shot 1, Time 1, Ready... Go."

Jiang Feng walked up and said to Zhang Ziyi, "Oh, you, the senior sister, are becoming more and more majestic!"

Zhang Ziyi said tenderly: "Big Brother, are you okay?"

Jiang Feng raised his hand and said, "It's okay, come..." Then, he pulled Zhang Ziyi and prepared to let her sit down.

But who would have thought that Zhang Ziyi would hug Jiang Feng tightly and keep shouting, "Big Brother! Big Brother!"

Jiang Feng did not hug Zhang Ziyi, but was a little overwhelmed, so he hurriedly comforted her: "Little Junior Sister, don't cry!"

"Click..."

"Zhang Ziyi, you're not in the right state. There's no trace of love between a couple in your eyes. You have to know that Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Now that the lovers are about to go to the Cliff of Repentance to reflect on their past, her eyes should be filled with reluctance and attachment, not stubbornness and disgust."

The person who said this was director Huang Jianzhong. If it was in the past, shots like this would have been used. At most, they would not give Zhang Ziyi a close-up shot, and only use her back hugging Jiang Feng from behind when editing.

Basically, this scene can be very good by shooting the back view and adding in the lines.

But today is different, with Mr. Jin Yong here, he doesn't want to get away with this scene, because Big Beard Zhang said that if "Swordsman" is well made and has high ratings, then the national television station will remake other works of Mr. Jin Yong.

Such as "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Deer and the Cauldron", etc., and maybe I will be the director of these film and television dramas at that time, but the prerequisite is that Mr. Jin Yong must be satisfied with me.

But who would have thought that as soon as the words were spoken, someone would start to talk back.

“Director, I don’t think I played it wrong.

I am playing the role of a person who is disappointed with his parents. As my lover, why can't you accommodate my parents and go against them in every way? "
