Chapter 515 Chapter 514, Harvey Weinstein
Yadan landform
Refers specifically to a landscape consisting of a series of parallel ridges and grooves that have been eroded by wind for a long period of time.

About 170 kilometers away from Dunhuang is China's largest Yadan landform area, with an area equivalent to 8 connected football fields.

Due to the long-term and fierce erosion of the wind, the ground here has been eroded into regular gullies, and the hard soil and stone layers have become mounds of varying heights, which have been carved by knives and axes into lifelike shapes such as stone men, stone horses, camels, turtles, crocodiles, yurts, etc.

According to local people, when night falls and strong wind blows, a terrifying howling sound is heard here, as if tens of millions of wild beasts are roaring, which is creepy.

Fortunately, the "Hero" crew only filmed here during the day and still had to return to Dunhuang city at night.

It was 7: in the morning when the crew arrived. Although the sun had risen, it was still very cold here. Jiang Feng, who was wearing a costume, just stood under the car and shivered.

Sure enough, the temperature difference between morning and night in the northwest of our country is huge. It is cold in the morning and evening, and it can be so hot that people can die at noon.

Guo Xiaofeng was a qualified assistant. When he saw Jiang Feng like this in the car, he immediately took out a cotton coat and put it on his shoulders.

The two of them had already become brothers, and Jiang Feng did not express his gratitude hypocritically. He waved his hand, motioning Guo Xiaofeng to get in the car, and then he walked towards Zhang Yimou.

At this time, Zhang Yimou, wearing a military green cotton coat and holding a walkie-talkie, was directing a crane with a lifting weight of more than 20 tons and a wingspan of more than 35 meters to fix its position.

Since current drone technology is still immature, when a film crew wants to take aerial photos or shoot high and far aerial shots, the tool they basically use is a crane. The longer the arm span, the better, and they can directly lift the photographer into the air to shoot.

According to the announcement last night, the first scene to be filmed today is the shot of Fan Jiuyi galloping on a horse.

Originally, a stand-in could be used for this shot, but the strong-willed Fan Jiuyi insisted on acting it herself, which made Zhang Yimou give her a thumbs up continuously.

This kid is willing to work hard, and he will definitely become a big shot in the circle in the future!

Well, not only can she become a star, but she can also become a boss!

Jiang Feng muttered a few words in his mind, and then stood not far from Zhang Yimou. Filming with a great director is definitely a very good learning opportunity, and he can't waste it.

However, just as Jiang Feng was observing the entire shooting scene, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was also wearing a military green coat, came to him quietly.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"It's what we talked about on the plane yesterday. I used my connections in the United States to find out that Miramax Films in Hollywood has always been very interested in you. They are willing to work with us as a Hollywood partner to shoot "Departures" and "The Departed", and are also willing to run our two films to the Oscars."

Miramax Films…

When Jiang Feng heard the name, he thought of a red sofa, and when he thought of the red sofa, he immediately thought of an old rogue Harvey Weinstein.

However, Jiang Feng had no ill feelings towards Harvey Weinstein, because the entertainment industry in the world was like this, exchanging money for resources, exchanging bodies for resources; the stars who looked glamorous on the outside actually had their own dirty deeds.

The reason why Harvey Weinstein was exposed was because he fell from power. If Harvey Weinstein was as prosperous as before, I believe many female stars would not even dare to speak in front of him. This includes Angelina Jolie, who later exposed Harvey Weinstein's explosive secrets.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"I think Harvey Weinstein's influence in Hollywood is still very large. For example, the influence of the movie "Saving Private Ryan" at the Oscars two years ago was so great, and the director Steven Spielberg is the top director in Hollywood.

But in this situation, the Oscar for Best Picture was still won by a movie invested by Harvey Weinstein.

That’s why I continued to choose to work with Harvey Weinstein on my Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and this Hero. ” “Well, Mr. Jiang, what are Harvey Weinstein’s conditions?”

Although Jiang Feng did not write about American entertainment in his previous life, Harvey Weinstein was so famous. Not to mention Hollywood, many film directors in China had criticized him in public, so Jiang Feng knew him quite well.

This guy is definitely not a good person.

Just like the little hotshot Feng Xiaogang, he once criticized Harvey Weinstein in this way in public.

Weinstein often deals with Chinese filmmakers. Let me tell you how he does it! He first tells you that he bought your film for 800 million US dollars! As a result, other buyers disappear when they see that he has bought it. He first pays you a deposit of 20, and then tells you after a while that he doesn’t want the film anymore, and the deposit is considered as compensation. When the Chinese filmmakers hear this, they panic, thinking that if you don’t buy it, no one will buy it, so they tell him to give them a lower price. He says, okay, and he takes the 100 million!
This is Harvey!
"Well, Jiang Feng, this is it.

Harvey Weinstein does have a condition. His condition is whether you can sell the sequels of "Saw" and "Paranormal Activity" to his company. Of course, he guarantees that the price will be the highest in the industry. "

"this is not OK."

As soon as Jiang Zhiqiang finished speaking, Jiang Feng shook his head and refused.

"Mr. Jiang, although I don't plan to shoot sequels to these two movies, I won't sell them out. Instead, I'll choose to cooperate with Lionsgate and let them shoot the sequels. In the future, they will pay me for each sequel they shoot."

"But, Jiang Feng..."

Jiang Zhiqiang wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, Chang Xiaoyang, the first assistant director of the "Hero" crew, ran over from a distance.

He came over here, nodded politely to Jiang Zhiqiang, and then said to Jiang Feng:
"Jiang Feng, the director wants to see you."

"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Feng asked.

"I'm not sure either." Chang Xiaoyang replied.

……

Jiang Feng was standing about four or five hundred meters away from the director's monitor. When he hurriedly ran to Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yimou turned around and pointed to the place next to him.

"Jiang Feng, if you want to learn something, you want to learn how to coordinate the crew. The best position for a photographer to move the camera is here, because standing here you can observe the director's monitor while observing the shooting scene."

"Oh, thank you."

Jiang Feng is now convinced by Zhang Yimou.

I just stood on a high place and people could immediately understand what I meant. They could even send someone to call me over in their busy schedule and give me instructions on the spot.

This shows that he is indeed willing to teach me something.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Feng saw Zhang Yimou pick up the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Zhao Xiaoding..."

"Director, the camera crew is fully prepared."

"Okay, start shooting!"

Zhang Yimou had just given this command through the intercom in his hand. In the valley below the mountain, a woman in white riding a black horse ran towards them from a distance.
