Entertainment 1998

Chapter 52: Digging Vegetables

In 1998, Chen Kaige was basically at the peak of his career, unlike later on, when he became a laughing stock in the eyes of the majority of netizens.

Although "The Emperor and the Assassin" is obscure and difficult to understand in the eyes of many moviegoers, and even the original male lead Jiang Wen felt something was not right after filming for a while, and simply walked away, it is Chen Kaige's last artistic glory.

Jiang Feng wanted to take part in the performance of this movie, but he only wanted to play two roles, one was Qin Shi Huang and the other was Lao Ai.

I wanted to play the role of Qin Shi Huang because Mr. Li Xuejian played this role so poorly in this movie. He did not show Qin Shi Huang's kingly and domineering character at all. Instead, he seemed a bit crazy. You should know that Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin in 227 BC. Qin Shi Huang was only 32 years old at that time, and he was in his prime and ready to conquer the six kingdoms.

The reason why he wanted to play the role of Lao Ai was not because Jiang Feng wanted to display his unique skill of turning the wheel on the movie screen, but because he wanted to truly restore that period of history, how an ambitious man who relied on women to get to the top stepped onto the stage of history step by step. Although he did not succeed in the end, he still left his name in history.

On the phone, Jiang Feng told Wang Jinghua very clearly that if you can help me get the role of Qin Wang Zheng currently played by Mr. Li Xuejian, or the role of Lao Ai currently played by Mr. Wang Zhiwen, I will go to Hengdian with you.

If not, forget it.

When Wang Jinghua on the phone heard Jiang Feng's answer, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak for two minutes. Jiang Feng, are you crazy? Do you know that, let alone you, an unknown actor, even the famous actors in China are proud to be able to act in Chen Kaige's movies. Even if it's just a small role in the movie!

And you... actually want to compete with these two big names for roles? !

Not only Wang Jinghua thought Jiang Feng was crazy, but Guo Xiaodong, who witnessed Jiang Feng's entire phone call in the dormitory, also thought that his good brother was getting too arrogant.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"I know you have starred in two TV series, and you performed very well in them. Our head teacher, Cui Xinqin, often praised you in class, saying that you are a person who will make a big splash if you don't make any noise.

I originally thought you were the student with the worst acting skills in our class, but I didn't expect that you were the first student to catch on.

But even so, Jiang Feng, I think you should still keep the original intention of our young actors. As long as there is a role to play and as long as you can exercise yourself..."

In the dormitory, Jiang Feng was a little moved when he heard Guo Xiaodong say this.

If they are not good brothers, they will not tell you this. They will only praise you and worry that they will bring you down in the future.

Jiang Feng, awesome!

Jiang Feng, mighty and domineering!
What is Chen Kaige? What is Zhang Yimou? If we want to act, we should act in the works of famous Hollywood directors, such as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, or Francis Ford Coppola's films...

"Um…"

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng smiled lightly, reached out and patted Guo Xiaodong on the shoulder.

"Brother Xiaodong, don't worry, I'm not that arrogant yet.

The reason why I said this to Wang Jinghua who wanted to sign me on the phone was to make her give up. I want the best role and I won't compromise.

If you think you can help me, then we can continue to talk about signing. If you can't help me, I'm sorry, let's not bother each other. "

"Oh…"

After hearing the explanation, Guo Xiaodong suddenly understood and immediately gave Jiang Feng a thumbs up.

"Jiang Feng, you are much smarter than Yan Zi from our class. Didn't Princess Pearl make her famous? Every day, there are several or even dozens of entertainment agents blocking her at the entrance of our school, which makes her very annoyed."

Swallow?
Ha ha…

Jiang Feng shook his head and smiled, then went to bed.

.........

the next day, early morning

While many students of Beijing Film Academy were still asleep, Guo Xiaodong left the school with a suitcase in his hand.

Jiang Feng, who had the habit of getting up early to exercise, sent him to the school gate. At the school gate, while waiting for Guo Xiaodong to get on the car, Jiang Feng also took the opportunity to see "Zhao Di" who was personally selected by director Zhang Yimou.

It was still her... Jiang Feng had never liked the ambitious Zhang Ziyi. Of course, Zhang was still very innocent at this time. When she smiled at people, the freckles on her face seemed to want to fly away. "Are you Jiang Feng, Guo Xiaodong's classmate?"

"Yes!"

"quite handsome."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you. I was able to pass Director Zhang Yimou's audition thanks to you.

Well..., it was you who asked all the girls in your class to wear black cotton pants and bright red cotton jackets, and I did the same, but I was luckier than the girls in your class, because Director Zhang Yimou fell in love with me at first sight."

"Really? You're welcome!"

Facing Zhang Ziyi's deliberate approach, Jiang Feng showed no extra expression on his face. He replied woodenly, then turned around and went back to school.

"Guo Xiaodong, your classmate seems to hate me?" Zhang Ziyi frowned as she looked at Jiang Feng's leaving back.

"Hate you..., how is that possible? My classmate has never seen you before." Guo Xiaodong smiled naively, put the luggage in his hand into the trunk of the car, and got in.

In the next few days, Jiang Feng's life became peaceful.

During the day, he and Yan Danchen would go shopping, stroll along the streets, or find a small and unique pub to eat some barbecue and drink some beer.

When they were having a great time drinking, Jiang Feng would whisper to Yan Danchen, "How about we find a hotel later? Once we find a hotel, I will perform a show for you, the wheel spinning."

As for the spinning wheel, Yan Danchen didn't quite understand it at first, but when she understood it, her face immediately blushed, she reached out her hand, and pinched Jiang Feng's leg hard, saying, "I won't let you coax me again, I won't let you lie to me again."

What happened last time still hurts.

Jiang Feng was not in a hurry about this.

After all, for something like this, every woman needs a period of adaptation. She will feel fear the first time, but she may be very happy the second time. And by the third time, as long as you are not dead, she will dare to drag you into the hotel.

In the evening, if Jiang Feng has nothing to do, he will visit the dormitory 415 next door. The students living in dormitory 415 are from the Department of Literature, and their major is screenwriting.

Although Jiang Feng was a novelist in his previous life and was no stranger to movie scripts and TV series scripts, if he really wanted to write them, he still needed to understand the script format, writing techniques, and themes. Now he often went to chat with them and believed that he would be able to get the hang of it soon.

Just like that, time passed by in a flash and it was September 1998, 9. That day was Tuesday, the day for new students of Beijing Film Academy to report, and it was also the day when sophomores, juniors and seniors officially started classes.

As juniors, we did not have the task of welcoming new students. Therefore, all the students in the 1996 undergraduate class of the Department of Performance who were on campus entered the classroom early.

Jiang Feng also arrived quite early. As soon as he sat down, he heard the discussions of Huang Xiaoming, Zu Feng, Chen Kun and others.

"Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"Our teaching assistant has changed. It seems to be replaced by Senior Sister Xu Jinglei from Grade 93."

"Xu Jinglei... didn't Xu Jinglei just film an idol drama called "Love to the End" with Jiang Feng? How come she became our teaching assistant?"

"Who knows?"

"We need to ask Jiang Feng about this?"

As they were chatting, they all turned to look at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, tell me, what kind of person is Senior Sister Xu Jinglei? Why did she come to our class as an assistant teacher?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Senior Sister Xu Jinglei said that she noticed Huang Xiaoming the year she graduated, and said that Huang Xiaoming was too handsome and was exactly her type.

So, this time, she came to our class to pick vegetables."
