Entertainment 1998

Chapter 496 Chapter 495, Don't stop until you say something shocking
As a writer of entertainment novels in his previous life, Jiang Feng naturally knew how important the ranking was to celebrities!
To be precise, the meaning of "rank" is "status", especially for stars of similar age. Once a "rank" is given up, it gives others the opportunity to "step on" them. No matter how they "explain" in the future, they will be regarded as just a star who "plays a supporting role" for others, and it will be difficult to get their "rank" back...

Therefore, in the previous life's era of traffic, a special term, "tear of fans", came into being.

"Tipping up the fan base" refers to a series of actions taken by fans or star teams to get the names of their favorite stars and their own stars to appear at the front on posters or in the ending credits, including quarreling, swiping the screen, protesting, etc.

In the previous life, the most famous example of tearing up the role was "The Legend of the Golden Hairpin"!
For the heroine Sister Yang, the original novel of “The Legend of the Golden Hairpin” is about the “female protagonist”, and Sister Yang has starred in two hit dramas in a row. She is a well-deserved first-line actress born in the 90s, who is well-known and capable of carrying a drama, so she deserves to be the “number one”.

As for the male lead Wu Qian, although his popularity among the public is not as high as Yang Jie, he has never acted in a TV series before and has only appeared in many movies, all of which were with big directors. Regardless of whether the audience is satisfied or not, the performance of these movies is also far ahead among the young actors of the same batch, and the entertainment industry tacitly assumes that the "movie circle" is more "noble" than the "TV drama circle", so Wu Qian should think that he is the number one in his first TV series.

As a result, fans of the male and female protagonists began a long-lasting campaign to tear down the roles on the Internet.

At that time, Jiang Feng was critical of their behavior. What an actor should do most is to improve his acting skills and his influence. Just like Stephen Chow, even if his name is not on the subtitles or posters, as long as he can show his face in the movie, the movie will basically sell well.

And now, with Zhang Yimou as the director and Jet Li and Manyu Cheung as the two actors, Jiang Feng would naturally have to give way to others. This was simply a matter of course.

Well..., don't even ask!

In the entertainment industry, news spreads quickly. Jiang Feng had just finalized the ranking issue with Zhang Yimou and had just walked into the designated work restaurant for the "Hero" crew, the Ghost BBQ Restaurant, when Jet Li and Maggie Cheung gave him a thumbs up.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was very clear: Jiang Feng, be particular!
In response, Jiang Feng smiled, accepting their compliments.

There are many people, so everyone eats in Room No. 1. Room No. 1 of Guiwei BBQ Restaurant is the largest. It not only has karaoke, but also a round table for 14 people.

Basically, all the people from the "Hero" crew who received training at the Shichahai Sports School could sit in this single room.

The lunch was good.

There are barbecues, stir-fried dishes, and the so-called Northeastern stew. And the stew is not a vegetarian stew. The large chunks of braised beef in it alone are mouth-watering.

Although we are all stars and need to maintain our figure as much as possible, it is necessary to eat like this during this period because of the high volume of activity. Whether in the morning or afternoon, there is basically 3 hours of training time.

Well, there is also…

Shichahai Sports School is 2.5 kilometers away from Guiwei BBQ Restaurant in Heizhima Hutong. For such a long distance, people are not allowed to use any means of transportation to travel back and forth. They either have to run or walk.

After eating a full meal and walking five miles, the food in the stomach is basically digested.

Although today is her second day on the set, Zhang Manyu likes the atmosphere in the crew very much. They eat meat together and suffer guilt together. If the movements are not in place during training, the martial arts coach invited by action director Cheng Xiaodong will really hit people with the stick in his hand.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say this afternoon, the slightly plump Fan Jiuyi received exactly seven hits on the buttocks.

Ok…

Jiang Feng is a famous singer, a well-known film director, and also a screenwriter. In the mainland, he is considered the most famous celebrity artist. Now, let's see if this kid will get beaten up this afternoon? !
If he gets beaten too, he will have to take it easy during the next training.

Zhang Manyu was just thinking about it when Zhang Yimou, who had a good appetite today, started talking with a smile while eating beef.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Director, tell me."

Jiang Feng put down the beer bottle in his hand.

"Zhang Manyu..."

"Director, you go ahead."

Zhang Manyu also stopped using her chopsticks. She originally wanted to pick up the piece of fat and lean braised beef from the Northeastern stew and put it in her own bowl.

"Don't be nervous, let's eat and talk at the same time. One of you will play Canjian and the other will play Feixue, and you have both read the script.

Who of you can tell me about the relationship between the two of them? " As soon as this was said, everyone understood what Zhang Yimou meant. Now they not only had to learn martial arts, but also had to get into the plot of the movie in advance. At the very least, the actors had to find the feeling with each other, so as to avoid having no tacit understanding when the official shooting started.

"Well..., let me go first."

Although Zhang Manyu's Mandarin is not very standard, she has tried her best.

"Director, A Feng, in my opinion, Canjian has been wandering around the world since he was a child, and later fell in love with Feixue during a competition.

Since the King of Qin was Feixue's father's murderer, Feixue vowed to assassinate the King of Qin since she was a child. After falling in love with Feixue, Canjian also pursued Feixue's dream, which was to assassinate the King of Qin..."

Perhaps because Maggie Cheung had just taken on this movie, what she said were basically the words in the script, or metaphors between the characters in the script.

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he neither denied nor praised. He just frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Feng who was working on braised pig's trotters with soybeans.

"Jiang Feng, what do you say?
Well, let me say something different, because you are the first one among those present to receive the script for this movie.”

"Want me to tell you?"

Jiang Feng stopped gnawing on the pig's trotter.

"Then let me tell you, in my opinion, Canjian and Feixue should be in a lesbian relationship."

"puff…"

Jiang Feng just started to explain his point of view, and Jet Li, who was drinking water, sprayed the tea out in one gulp. Fortunately, the Kung Fu Emperor was quite skilled and knew to change the direction when spraying the water, otherwise, the food on the table would be inedible today.

"Ahem..., Brother Feng, you really never stop talking until you shock people with your words!"

Fan Jiuyi, who has a small status and has always regarded herself as an invisible person, couldn't help but speak up at this time.

"Uh…"

Chang Xiaoyang, Zhen Zidan, Zhang Manyu and others who had also studied the script were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Such a good martial arts movie was actually understood by you as a homosexual relationship, and a lesbian relationship at that.

However, Zhang Yimou remained calm. After thinking for a while, he said, "Jiang Feng, tell me in detail!"

Seeing Zhang Yimou let him speak, Jiang Feng also spoke.

"First, let's talk about Ruyue who is beside Canjian. Ruyue's most outstanding performance in the script is when she wields two swords to fight Feixue, fights Wuming, and has a bed scene with Canjian. The rest of the time, she is always carrying swords and collecting corpses for the two heroes.

Now, if we delete these two fighting scenes, we will find that the plot and structure of the whole story are not damaged or incoherent at all, as if the character of "Rusume" was forcibly added.

Director, you are a master of movies. I don't believe you would do such a vulgar thing of "making up stars". Logically speaking, if a character is not created to express the plot of the movie, then it is created to cover up the plot of the movie.
In this way, the truth about "Ruyue" becomes clear. In fact, there is no such person as "Ruyue"!

Yes, she is a fake character created by "Canjian" and "Feixue" to conceal their identities, and narrated by "Wuming".

"Like the moon" means that it is like the moon, illusory but visible!

So what was "Ru Yue" created to cover up?

Obviously, she concealed what she wanted to show. "Ru Yue" and "Can Jian" had a bed scene that was not unexpected at all, because the previous dialogue between the three had clearly hinted at the triangle relationship between the three, so this bed scene was not to show the triangle relationship, but to show itself - Xing!

That’s right, “Ruyue” was created to highlight the male characteristics of “Canjian”. The fiction I’m referring to is not the fiction of the screenwriter and director, but the fiction of the two women, “Canjian” and “Feixue”. “Ruyue” showed a joy and happiness on the bed that was very inconsistent with the style of the film…”

Jiang Feng continued talking, becoming more and more excited.

But Zhang Yimou felt like the sky had fallen on him!
