Chapter 462 Chapter 461, domestic film directors can’t survive

The building is empty!

When Jiang Feng arrived at the top floor of the apartment building, he found that the door of the apartment was open. Not to mention Yu Feihong and the children, even the furniture and appliances were gone. There were only two staff members from the housekeeping company cleaning the house.

Seeing this scene, Li Xing became a little anxious.

I was gesturing and trying to say, Brother Feng, I was here a few days ago. I had lunch with Teacher Yu Feihong and even hugged her fat son in my arms. But why is there no one here today? !

Although Li Xing didn't say it out loud, Jiang Feng already understood what she meant, so he sighed and said:

"never mind!
I should have thought of this a long time ago.”

After saying this, Jiang Feng turned around and walked downstairs.

Yu Feihong is an independent and confident woman. She has been making movies alone since she was 8 years old. How could she be someone who depends on a man?

I gave birth to a son, your Jiang Feng's!

I am telling you now just to inform you, but my son and I will not rely on you for support. We have our own lives.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng, who had already come downstairs, sighed, took out his mobile phone, quickly edited two text messages and sent them out.

[Sister Feihong, don’t you like the courtyard house at No. 19 Beichizi Street the most? If you like it, then continue to live there. I promise that I will never go there without your permission.]

[Sister Feihong, you take a year off this year. In the first half of next year, I have a movie script for you. The heroine is a woman with lower body paralysis, and the reason for her paralysis is all due to her brother's drunk driving.

So she locked herself up at home and vowed that she would never forgive her brother in her life. But one day, two stupid thieves suddenly came to her house...

I thought Yu Feihong wouldn't reply after I sent the text message, but in less than 5 minutes, Jiang Feng received her reply.

【it is good! 】

【It’s a deal! 】

[Well, don’t forget, you will also star in my movie “Love Has Afterlife”. ]

.........

Didn't see my son.

Jiang Feng was a little disappointed, but because he had a filming task to do, he adjusted his mood in a short time. He brought the producer Li Xing to Santa Monica Community Hospital to make final preparations for the filming of the movie "Seeing Ghosts".

According to the latest shooting plan, the film will start shooting tomorrow.

At this time, Jessica Alba, who was in good health and rarely went to the hospital, had been hospitalized in this hospital for two days, and while in the hospital, she had a medical bandage on her eyes.

The purpose is to make yourself feel like a patient with eye disease.

Hearing footsteps in the corridor, Jessica Alba, who was still wrapped in medical bandages today, listened carefully and smiled while standing in the ward.

"Director, director, is that you?"

"Yes!
I didn't expect you to have such good ears."

Jiang Feng came with some fruits, put the fruit basket on the bedside table next to the bed, and then started chatting with Jessica Alba.

"how do you feel?"

“I’m almost in the zone.”

"Tell me."

"Since I had a medical bandage on my eye every day, I often had random thoughts about the plot of the movie "Seeing the Hell".

One moment, the god of death was standing next to me; the next moment, my fellow patient died and his soul was taken away by the god of death; the next moment, it felt like this hospital was on fire and I couldn’t escape no matter how hard I ran.

"Haha, good." Jiang Feng laughed, took out a pear from the fruit basket, and peeled it while saying, "You can't just stand now, you have to try to walk today.

I just counted in my mind, I got off the bed, walked a few steps forward to the end of the bed, then turned left and walked a few steps to the window, turned right and walked a few steps forward to the door. "

“Oh, I see, Director.

You mean for me to simulate being blind in the room."

"Yes, that's the purpose."

At this time, a green pear was peeled, and Jiang Feng put the peeled green pear in Jessica Alba's hands.

"Jessica Alba, you may also know that Paranormal Activity was released today. The data this morning was pretty good. 2000 cinemas opened at the same time, the screening rate was 33.4%, and the attendance rate was 69%. It is estimated that the box office of the movie will reach 800 million US dollars today alone.

According to the agreement between me, China Film Group Corporation and Lionsgate, as the screenwriter, director and leading actor, I get 15% of the box office share, and my filming team gets 7%.

Since there was no prior discussion or agreement, it is difficult for me to help you get a high salary.

There are only two options for you: one, regarding the movie "Paranormal Activity", your salary is 2 US dollars, paid in full; two, you can get 50% of the total box office share. "

After hearing the two choices given by Jiang Feng, Jessica Alba fell silent.

Since he has not achieved much in the Hollywood film industry and his first movie was a box office failure, the current market value of his salary is around 1 US dollars.

"Paranormal Activity" was filmed in just one night, and he was able to get 50 US dollars, which is a very generous remuneration.

Because if you calculate based on the four-month shooting period of a normal movie, then the movie title he gets would be as high as 4 million U.S. dollars, which is a god-level existence higher than any Hollywood superstar.

But just when Jessica Alba said she wanted $50, she suddenly said, "I'd rather choose 1% of the box office revenue."

"okay!"

Seeing that Jessica Alba had made a choice, Jiang Feng did not comment, but signaled the doctor who came after hearing the news to remove the bandage from Jessica Alba's eyes, let her sign the contract first, and then continue to experience life.

After securing Jessica Alba's performance contract, Li Xing, as producer, also had to communicate with the person in charge of Santa Monica Community Hospital about many details of the "Seeing the Ghost" crew's filming in the hospital, such as the crew's meals, the props that needed to be borrowed in the hospital, the detailed shooting time, etc.

Jiang Feng went straight home, to a beachfront villa right next to Santa Monica Beach.

Jiang Feng has been busy since the day he arrived in the United States. He has no time to call his hometown in Cao County, nor does he have time to chat about love with Wang Fei who is currently in Hong Kong Island. Now that he finally has a moment of free time, he must make a call.

Especially with Wang Fei, this tall beauty said before the Spring Festival that she would attend the Grammy Awards ceremony on February 2st.

Now, Jiang Feng would like to ask you when you will arrive so that I can arrange the filming plan of the crew in advance and then pick you up at the Los Angeles airport to save you the trouble of finding the place.

However, when Jiang Feng arrived at the door of his house, he was stunned, because there were two taxis parked at the door and people were getting out of the taxis with luggage.

Sitting in the taxi in front were agent Wang Jinghua and her assistant, while sitting in the taxi at the back was Han Shanye, vice chairman and general manager of China Film Group.

"Uh... Mr. Han, Ms. Hua, why are you here?"

Getting out of the car, Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"Oh, Jiang Feng, I was just about to call you." Seeing Jiang Feng just coming back from outside, Wang Jinghua said with a smile.

"Jiang Feng, can't I not come?

Your deeds are so legendary that I have to come here to witness them in person. You haven't been in the country these days, so I don't know that there is news about your movie "Paranormal Activity", which has been uploaded like crazy on major domestic websites.

It is said that you only used 6 US dollars and spent one night to shoot this movie, and when it was first released in North America, 2000 cinemas opened at the same time, which made it impossible for domestic film directors to survive.

Because you have set a benchmark that is difficult for them to reach. They can no longer use large investments and high yields to fool domestic film investors, including me, haha..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Shanye burst into laughter.
