Chapter 514 Chapter 513, looking for a role
the next day, early morning

At 4: in the morning, when the entire city of Dunhuang was still shrouded in darkness, Jiang Feng had already finished washing up and walked out of the room.

Walking in the corridor, he met Zhang Manyu. The beautiful woman was about to go to the shooting site with her assistant and was still yawning. When she saw Jiang Feng, she raised her hand to say hello, but Zhang Manyu covered her mouth with her hand before she could say anything.

Too sleepy.

I'm not quite used to getting up at this time to work.

After coming down from upstairs, the first thing the crew had to do was to have breakfast in the restaurant. With more than 100 people sitting in this small restaurant, it seemed quite full.

Jiang Feng and Zhang Manyu are both big names. When they walked into the restaurant, the waiter had already placed their breakfast on the table. Others dining at the same table included Jiang Zhiqiang, Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, and Fan Jiuyi…

Hey...where’s Jet Li?

Jiang Feng was eating at a long dining table and was curious about not seeing this big shot. But before he could ask, Zhang Manyu nudged him with her elbow.

“Don’t ask.

Jet Li is a member of the Hollywood Actors Guild. His working hours, pay, insurance and treatment in China are all the same as in Hollywood.

That is to say, Jet Li's working hours are calculated from the moment he leaves the hotel. Of course, the time he spends returning from the filming base must also be counted, so he will probably leave for the filming location at around 9 o'clock."

wipe…

Jiang Feng cursed secretly, full of envy. If that's the case, then I'd also like to join the Screen Actors Guild of America.

In Dunhuang, even if you stay in a star-rated hotel, the breakfast is a bit simple, nothing more than soy milk, tea, eggs, fried dough sticks, and freshly made wontons. If you want to eat something more complicated, you can have egg fried noodles or something like that...

Sorry, no!

I don’t know if it was because she wanted to maintain her figure, but today, Zhang Manyu didn’t eat much. She just ordered two tea eggs and a packet of milk.

Jiang Feng's breakfast was more substantial, with two tea eggs, two bowls of wontons, four fried dough sticks and a pack of hot milk.

Sitting opposite, Han Shanye glanced at Jiang Feng's breakfast and put down his chopsticks with a smile.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Look at your posture. Do you think we don't have lunch at noon? Do you want to solve the day's meals at once in the morning?"

"No!" Jiang Feng shook his head.

"Boss Han, it's mainly because I was too active yesterday and now I'm a little hungry, so I ate a little too much..."

However, before he could finish his words, Jiang Feng felt someone stepped on his right foot. Without even looking, Jiang Feng knew it was Zhang Manyu's masterpiece.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng's acting skills are good. Even though his right foot was suffering a little, he still remained calm and talked freely.

"Boss Han, when I woke up just now, I took a look at the Internet and saw a piece of news that seemed a little unbelievable. I don't know if it's true or not. I want to verify it with you now?"

"Oh, what news?" Seeing Jiang Feng's serious tone, everyone who was having breakfast at the same table looked over curiously.

"There is a rumor that Director Kai Ge wants to play a role in my movie "Nobody", but he is too embarrassed to come to me in person. After all, I am just a junior in the directing industry.

So, he specially bought two bottles of Moutai and sent them to you, wanting you to tell me that he was going to play the leading actor Ma Xianyong in "The Unknown".

Well, Mr. Han, let me make it clear to you here. If Director Kaige really wants to play this role, then he can do it. Although Director Kaige’s performance is far inferior to his directing, with some proper training from me, he may still be able to play this role…”

"what…"

Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, everyone's mouths opened wide. The conflict between Director Kaige and Jiang Feng was obvious to everyone. They had disliked each other since the screening of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In addition, the movie "Paranormal Activity", which was shot by Jiang Feng with a production cost of 6 US dollars, grossed 2 million US dollars worldwide. In an instant, domestic film directors became the target of ridicule by tens of millions of netizens.

Others are better, like Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen, but Director Kaige is narrow-minded, so he has long said that we have no control over the movies directed by Jiang Feng in Hollywood, but as long as he makes a movie in China, none of you can participate...

Under such circumstances, how could Chen Kaige bring Maotai liquor and ask Han Shanye to mediate? He wanted to play the leading actor Ma Xianyong in Jiang Feng's movie.

Looking around and seeing that no one believed him, Jiang Feng signaled his assistant Guo Xiaofeng to open his laptop, find the news page on Sohu Entertainment, and then show it to everyone.

[Sohu Entertainment:
Jiang Feng, a mainland singer, music composer and film director who has created box office miracles in Hollywood, has recently begun intensive preparations for his first film "Nobody" after his return to China.

Location survey, team building, application...

According to insiders, during the intense preparation process, the crew welcomed a particularly big-name actor - Director Kai Ge. Yes, you read that right, it was Director Kai Ge who wanted to play the leading male role Ma Xianyong in this movie.

For this purpose, he even bought two bottles of Moutai and went to find the producer of this film, Mr. Han Shanye...】

Han Shanye was shocked when he saw the news online.

It is true that pictures tell the truth. Next to this news, there is a picture of director Kaige getting out of the car carrying two bottles of Moutai.

But Han Shanye dared to raise his hand and swear that Chen Kaige really had never looked for him.

But before he could finish his words, Jiang Feng found the report on the entertainment section of Sina website and showed it to everyone.

【SINA entertainment:
Chen Kaige, a long-established domestic director, couldn't help but admire the young film director Jiang Feng.

Director Kaiger has publicly stated more than once that Hollywood is the temple of world cinema. It is a rare achievement for China to have a domestic film director who can make a fortune in Hollywood with four consecutive films selling more than 4 million US dollars at the box office.

We all need to cherish him.

Now, when he heard that Jiang Feng’s first film “Nobody” after returning to China had not yet found a male lead, Director Kai Ge immediately recommended himself through the Internet…】

Damn...

At this moment, everyone is obviously beyond the ability to describe themselves with the word "shocked".

What is this, Lao Chen?
This should be considered as the mouse actively licking the cat's thing? !
...

As the filming task was urgent, breakfast went by very quickly. Even though an incredible thing appeared on the online news, everyone was discussing it.

But at 5 a.m., everyone still got on the car to the filming location of "Hero".

Due to the need for makeup, Jiang Feng took a motorhome. In the motorhome, not only Zhang Manyu and Fan Jiuyi were there, but there were also three senior makeup artists on standby.

Originally, Jiang Feng could have gone to Zhang Yimou's RV, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. This RV was big enough, 9 meters long, so even five people could put on makeup at the same time.

Then there is no need to trouble Zhang Yimou.

After all, Zhang Yimou was not alone in his RV. There were also producers Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Shanye, chairman of China Film Group.

"Brother Feng..."

"Ok?"

"You've filmed a movie in Hollywood. Are all Hollywood actors so awesome? For example, Jet Li's RV could have taken us to a shooting location first, but now, we have to wait for Jet Li here."

When Fan Jiuyi said this, her eyes were full of envy.
