Entertainment 1998

Chapter 325 Chapter 324, The beginning of a pure assistant director’s tragic life

Mentioning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in front of Lao Chen, is that like poking at his lungs?

Yes!
Whether it was then or now, Lao Chen thinks this is a pity. You know, when "Farewell My Concubine" was released, film and television media all over the world gave it rave reviews and believed that this movie should have a place in the history of world cinema.

In view of this, Lao Chen was determined to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. He even said to his then lover, Ni Ping, a famous host of the national television station, "From now on, I will be the best of the best!"

But reality dealt him a heavy blow; Farewell My Concubine did not win any award.

Since he knew that, why did Jiang Feng insist on poking Lao Chen's lungs?

Very simple!
First, because I don't have much good feelings towards Lao Chen; second, because the benefits are too great. I predict that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film next year. If it fails, it's nothing. This is just a young student who hasn't graduated from the Beijing Film Academy bragging. But if it succeeds, the benefits will be too great, and every film director and producer present will remember the name "Jiang Feng" deeply.

From now on, whenever there is a suitable role, their first reaction will definitely be to find Jiang Feng, because this guy not only has good acting skills, but also has a very accurate judgment of the prospects of the film.

Just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", all the famous directors present at the time thought it was mediocre, but this guy was the only one who insisted that it could win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
Sure enough, the following year, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won an Oscar...

Therefore, after weighing the two options, Jiang Feng directly pierced Lao Chen's lung.

Han Shanye is quite nice!
Jiang Feng had just finished speaking when he happily chased the confused Director Kaige away before he could react.

Moreover, when he was chasing him away, Han Shanye also made a very direct hint that Jiang Feng was my man, he had been chased away by me for talking nonsense, and the matter ended here!

……

To be honest, Jiang Feng still felt a little regretful after coming out of the black box theater.

According to the arrangement, after watching the movie, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen and more than a dozen well-known directors and producers will go to Donglaishun to eat hotpot. Jiang Feng also wants to go, not because he is short of food, but because he wants to get together with everyone to enhance the relationship. This can also be regarded as building his own network in the entertainment industry.

But now, it's impossible.

Because he was having dinner with the petty director Kaige, no one could guarantee whether they would fight or not.

Jiang Feng was thinking about how to reconnect with directors Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, Li An and others when suddenly his cell phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a message from his stockbroker Guo Sheng.

[Mr. Jiang, Amazon's stock price was $51.7 yesterday. It is expected that the stock price will drop slightly today.]

In the past, Jiang Feng would just glance at the text message sent by Guosheng and would not respond at all, because it was not the right time. According to his own ideas, on June 6th, no matter how much the stock price fell, he would buy all of Amazon's stocks, return some of the stocks to the securities company, and keep some of the stocks for himself.

But today, when Jiang Feng saw the text message from this guy, he was slightly stunned, and then decided to have a good chat with this stockbroker.

[Guosheng, tomorrow morning, I will be transiting in Hong Kong Island and then heading to Formosa Province. I will be in transit for about 4 hours. I am bored, so why don't you recommend a guide for my friend to travel in Hong Kong Island?]

[Mr. Jiang, you are joking.]

Your girlfriend, Ms. Wang Fei, is in Hong Kong Island right now. If you have any questions, you can contact her directly. 】

[Please read my message carefully. I am talking about a friend of mine.]

【Oh..., Mr. Jiang, what does your friend want? 】

[Young, pretty, around 5 or years old, must be able to speak Mandarin, be very familiar with Hong Kong Island, be able to drive, and be open-minded. Most importantly, she must have performance experience or have appeared in front of a camera. The commission is around Hong Kong dollars.

As for your agency fee, I will subsidize it to you from my stock commission.

[OK, I understand. What time will you arrive in Hong Kong Island tomorrow?] [My departure is 9:00 AM, but my friend's departure should be 8:00 AM. He flew directly from Suzhou to Hong Kong Island.]

[So, how should the "tour guide" pick up your friend? ]

[Holding a sign, there are two words written on it: "Dawei". Oh, by the way, tell the tour guide to treat him well and make him satisfied.]

【OK! 】

Seeing Guosheng's reply, Jiang Feng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. It had been two months, and he and Dawei had been working together very happily.

Who went to Huang Jianzhong's room at night? Which beauty did Zhang Da Huzi hook up with? Which star did the photographer, lighting engineer and stylist in the crew express dissatisfaction with? Who got drunk and scolded Zhang Da Huzi in the crew, and Zhang Da Huzi found out and slapped him twice...

Dawei will provide me with this information at any time.

What is even more commendable is that Dawei is a very capable guy, especially in casting. Kang Honglei, the executive deputy director of the crew, only needs to explain his ideas to him, and this guy can immediately find suitable extras for the crew near the filming site.

Even if there were no professional extras nearby the crew, he could just find two passers-by on the street and quickly train them to meet the crew's requirements.

wipe…

This is a kind of ability!

So, Jiang Feng decided to build a good relationship with him, and when he makes his next movie, he will bring this old guy into his crew.

I have already observed it carefully.

This old guy Dawei doesn't like to drink or smoke. He doesn't care about money. A monthly salary of 1 yuan is fine, or 1000 yuan is fine. Anyway, there are ways to spend more money and less money.

His only shortcoming is that he likes women. The "good" here refers to good hobbies, and women specifically refer to actors, models and hosts. Dawei said that only famous women can give men the desire to conquer, otherwise he would not slip a note into Xu Qing's room in the middle of the night.

it's good now.

The "Swordsman" crew was afraid that he would not be able to return on time, so they sent him to Formosa Province with them. It was just the right time for this old guy to have a taste of something new.

It’s done, easy and fun!

So Jiang Feng strolled out of the Beijing Film Academy and headed towards the beef ramen restaurant on Xingtan Road. He hadn't been here for two months. Now was a good opportunity to see how Boss Niu had decorated the restaurant and whether it met his requirements.
But before he reached the door of the beef ramen restaurant, Jiang Feng saw the famous producer Jiang Zhiqiang, whom he met in the Black Box Theater, standing at the door of Xinfusheng Restaurant and waving at him.

"Director Jiang Feng, you're a little late. We're all here, why are you just here? If you don't come soon, I'll call you."

"Uh…"

Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang being so affectionate, Jiang Feng was slightly stunned. Aren't these guys going to Donglaishun to eat hot pot? Why did they come here?

As if he knew what Jiang Feng was thinking, Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Director Kaige was in a bad mood and took Chen Hong back early, so everyone lost the interest in having a hot pot party.

So, Mr. Han, Director Li An, Director Zhang Yimou and I came here to have a simple meal. Didn’t we just think of you when we ordered the food? "

At this point, Jiang Zhiqiang came forward and shook hands with Jiang Feng, then walked into Xinfusheng Restaurant with him without saying anything.
