Entertainment 1998

Chapter 493 492 Don't forget that he is the best actor
Grilled lamb skewers, grilled pork belly, grilled leeks, grilled tendons, grilled lamb kidneys, grilled lamb treasures...

As the host, Zhang Yimou arrived quite early. He came to Guiwei BBQ Restaurant, sat in the private room No. 1, and ordered more than a dozen kinds of barbecue.

There are many varieties, but the quantity is not large, basically there are only 4 skewers of each variety. Jiang Feng eats a lot, so he can eat two skewers of each variety, while he and Fan Jiuyi only eat one skewer of each variety.

Sitting on the chair, watching the barbecue being brought in continuously, Fan Jiuyi felt a little uneasy.

It was my first time to have dinner with such a big-name film director. I was a little nervous, but more importantly, he and I were the only ones in the room.

Well, what to say?

Otherwise, why don’t you just speak directly?
Director, as long as you let me play Feixue, I don’t need any salary for this movie, as long as you give me a chance!
But looking at Zhang Yimou's serious face, Fan Jiuyi finally swallowed her words.

"Xiao Fan..."

Just when Fan Jiuyi was a little at a loss, Zhang Yimou spoke.

"Director, tell me."

Fan Jiuyi stood up nervously.

"Well, Xiao Fan, don't be nervous. I just want to talk to you. What is your relationship with Jiang Feng? Did he recommend you to my crew just because you starred in his MV?"

After saying this, Zhang Yimou smiled naturally, as if he didn't mean anything else.

But the smart Fan Jiuyi understood.

I have put him in a difficult position.

Zhang Yimou was trying to find out his background. The reason for this seemed to be that Jiang Feng could control him to some extent. Well, you could also say that Zhang Yimou didn't want to have an unpleasant experience with Jiang Feng because of such a small matter.

But what should I say?

Could it be that she and Jiang Feng had already had physical contact, and more than once?
As I was hesitating, the door suddenly rang.

"Dangdangdang..."

"Come in!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Yimou was about to get up.

But at this moment, the door opened, and Jiang Feng strode in, followed by a beautiful agent, no, it should be a beautiful producer.

As soon as the box office results of "Paranormal Activity" came out, many entertainment media have positioned Li Xing as the most powerful film producer in the country.

"Good director!"

"Hello Jiang Feng!"

As soon as Jiang Feng entered the room, he shook hands and greeted Zhang Yimou.

"Jiang Feng, you just came back from your hometown, you must be very tired now."

"It's OK. Not too tiring. Mainly because I came back by plane. If I drove 600 kilometers, I would probably be exhausted by the time I got to Beijing."

Back then, when Jiang Feng first met Zhang Yimou, he was a little reserved, but now, after a few years of training, Jiang Feng can already chat and laugh in front of him.

"Jiang Feng, then, when can you join the group to receive martial arts training?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile as he invited Jiang Feng and Li Xing to sit down.

“Just get some sleep tonight and you’ll be fine tomorrow.

But director, let’s make it clear that my martial arts training time cannot exceed 8 hours a day.”

"What? Are you preparing for the next music album now?" Zhang Yimou asked with a smile when he saw Jiang Feng sitting down.

"yes!
I will try to use these two months to record my next English album, because by the end of June, I will join the crew of our "Hero" and I probably won't have time." "Okay, no problem!

Tomorrow, I will say hello to several martial arts coaches at Shichahai Sports School and ask them to give you extra training during the day so that you can have some free time at night. "Like old friends, Jiang Feng and Li Xing took off their coats and hung them on the chairs, and then the four of them ate skewers and drank beer together.

While drinking beer, everyone basically talked about gossip in the circle. After all, celebrities and directors are also human beings. Since politics cannot be discussed, everyone can only focus on caring about their peers.

When a female artist named Lin was interviewed by Taiwanese media, she directly accused a mainland artist named Zhou of always sticking out her tongue during kissing scenes, and she was not afraid of being sick.

The young female artist who became famous for her role in "My Fair Princess 2" had a car accident on the way to filming. She died on the spot. The reason was a bit strange. It turned out that the trunk of the car was not closed and she was thrown out.

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was not well received by many insiders in Beijing at the time, actually won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Because of this, director Kaiger did not go out for a month.

The reason is that he was afraid that a reporter would ask him why the movie that he didn't think highly of at the beginning actually won an Oscar?

Looking at Jiang Feng and Zhang Yimou who were chatting and laughing, Li Xing was a little confused.

Isn't the purpose of coming here today to discuss Fan Jiuyi's matter? Why don't you two discuss it? Besides, Fan Jiuyi has been called here by you.

Just when Li Xing was puzzled, he heard Jiang Feng, who was chatting and laughing just now, suddenly change the subject.

"director…"

"Ok?"

"When I went back to my hometown this time, I saw that the coffins from Cao County were selling very well in Xiaorizi. It is said that for every 100 people who died in Xiaorizi, 5 coffins were from Cao County.

But even so, the officials in our hometown were still not satisfied. Their slogan was, even if all the people living a simple life died overnight, we in Cao County could put them all in coffins. "

"Puchi..." Fan Jiuyi laughed.

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Feng's words were interesting, and Zhang Yimou and Li Xing laughed even louder, especially Zhang Yimou, who laughed and said:

"Excuse me, Jiang Feng, please continue."

“Well, director, you can imagine that if you want to sell coffins on a large scale in Xiaori, you have to advertise, but coffins can’t be advertised on TV.

So, I decided to make a film about the funeral culture of everyday life, and then incorporate the coffins of Cao County into the story.”

"Yeah, great, your technique is great!"

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Zhang Yimou gave him a thumbs up. As long as the movie was well made and had influence, Cao County coffins would definitely be a best-seller in Xiao Rizi.

“Director, please listen to me. I have almost finished writing the script for this movie. Now I will tell you about the story.

As the band disbanded, cellist Daigo Kobayashi lost his job. He and his wife Mika Kobayashi left Tokyo and returned to their hometown in Yamagata Prefecture.

However, even in Yamagata Prefecture, it was difficult for Kobayashi Daigo to find a job without any practical skills.

"No age limit, high salary guaranteed, and very short actual working hours. We are looking for a travel assistant." A job advertisement with eye-catching conditions attracted Daogu..."

The story was quite long. Jiang Feng ate while chatting. He didn't stop until after an hour. After pausing, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then picked up the beer glass beside him.

"Director, regarding the movie 'Departures', I plan to invite you to act in it. You will play the master and I will play the apprentice. As for the remaining roles in the movie, we will contact Xiao Ri Zi in advance. I hope to use Japanese artists to play them all.

As for the filming time, we will schedule it for the middle of next year. By then, the movie "Hero" will be finished and even released. You can take your family to travel to Xiao Ri Zi. "

"Well, I'll think about it."

In response to Jiang Feng's invitation, Zhang Yimou picked up the beer glass in front of him, drank the remaining beer, then stood up and left.
