Chapter 576 Chapter 575, Jiang Feng, I did this

Jiefang West Road, Wangjiang Apartment Construction Site

After having breakfast at the Marriott Hotel, the crew of "Nobody" came here together. Due to the leave of Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others, Jiang Feng adjusted the shooting order of the movie.

Today, Zhao Laonian will fight a battle of wits and courage with Fu Feng who is here to collect debts.

The crew has two assistant directors, Dawei and Xu Jinglei, so there are some things that Jiang Feng, as the director, does not need to do personally.

Just like today, when we arrived at the shooting site, Dawei led his brothers to start the decoration, such as hanging funeral couplets, pulling white cloth, and putting black veils on the extras...

In less than half an hour, he and his team turned the construction site into a mourning hall.

Xu Jinglei was standing nearby directing the band playing funeral music on the spot. There were two types of bands, one was Western style and the other was Chinese style. The Western style included trombone, trumpet, snare drum and bass drum, and the musicians wore white shirts and white pants, looking very formal; while the Chinese style was more casual, mainly including suona, erhu and yu. Yu is an ancient musical instrument. The "yu" in the idiom "竽充数" refers to this instrument.

When Jiang Feng arrived at the shooting site, he had nothing to do for the time being, so he planned to take a look over at the crane, because when the actual filming started later, the Northeastern sketch king Zhao Laonian, who was currently practicing movements with Fu Feng, would be lifted into the air by the crane.

Jiang Feng wanted to go over to see if there were any safety hazards, but before he could go over, producer Li Xing came over in a hurry.

"Brother Feng..."

"what happened?"

"Just now, Sister Hua took the initiative to call me and said that in the past two days, someone has been spreading rumors on the Tianya Forum website, saying that basically all the beauties in our crew have accepted your hidden rules.

And the rumors are getting louder and louder.

Even portal websites such as Sohu and Sina are preparing to write commentary articles to criticize certain ugly phenomena in the entertainment industry.

Well, fortunately, after the incident with Yan Zi, a female classmate of yours, last night, the negative news and comments about you on the Internet disappeared this morning."

"Um…"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

We are all smart people, and there are some things that don't need to be said too directly.

For example, today, Wang Jinghua took the initiative to call me with two meanings:
First of all, those rumors on the Internet should be related to Yan Zi. She is involved in a scandal and urgently needs to find a big star to get into trouble to divert public attention.

Secondly, I took prompt measures to get public opinion back on track. As for what measures? Haha, you guess.

After trying to understand the details, Jiang Feng turned to look at Li Xing.

"Xiao Xing, call and tell Sister Hua that I thank her. Also, I remember that my agency contract with her will expire in a while. Ask her to prepare a new contract for me and I will sign it after I return to Beijing."

"Ok!"

Li Xing usually followed Jiang Feng's decisions without compromise, and today was no exception. Just as Li Xing was about to leave, he suddenly heard Jiang Feng say:

"Xiao Xing, you should intervene as little as possible in the future regarding celebrity artist management business. It would be best if you only keep my management business and your sister's management business.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, you don’t have a direct conflict with Sister Hua. Second, you can focus on film production.”

"Ok."

Li Xing smiled sweetly, then took out his cell phone and went to work.

I went to the US with you and made 5000 million RMB from two movies. If you add the 3000 million RMB that Hua Jie gave me as my agent...

Haha, from now on, only a fool would care about the agency business of Huayi Brothers Agency's celebrity artists? !

Li Xing went to work, and Jiang Feng started the safety inspection.

Jiang Feng's safety inspection method was very simple. When he heard the crane driver say, "The car is newly bought, and there are no problems with the wire rope, hydraulic system, etc.", after obtaining the crane driver's consent, Jiang Feng asked the crew members to tie him up, and then lifted him up and down with the crane. After repeated tests several times, he passed the inspection when he saw that there were indeed no problems.

And the crane driver was also very happy.

It was originally agreed that he would receive 500 yuan for cooperating with the crew in acting, but after Jiang Feng's inspection, the rental fee for the crane was increased to 1000 yuan.

After seeing this scene, Xu Jinglei finally understood why Jiang Feng let the construction workers on this site be extras even though they clearly couldn't act.

Because these people are here as extras, they can ensure the absolute safety of the construction site. Originally, when building the scaffolding used for filming, only a clip was needed to connect the steel pipes.

But when these construction workers learned that they were extras and had to stand under the scaffolding to perform during filming, not only did they add an extra clip at the joints between the steel pipes, but they also uniformly added diagonal beams at important joints.

Well, as expected, people are different when it comes to ensuring their own safety and ensuring the safety of others!
After all the preparations were completed, Jiang Feng picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Action!"

A funeral was taking place in front of the building.

There was a band, some people were crying, and a guy who looked like an emcee was singing "Farewell".

Fu Feng, dressed as a boss, walked in the middle of the team with a microphone in his hand: "The boss of this building is very capable. I lent him a large sum of money, but he ran away with the money. I can only treat him as dead and I will go to his funeral every day. What do you think?"

At this time, a man's voice came from a sack hanging on the crane: "Liu Wu, put me down."

The band stopped and everyone looked at the sack hanging high in the air.

"OK, passed!"

That's how filming works.

Very little time was actually spent on filming. Most of the time was spent on preparation, setting up the shooting location, training extras, and then the assistant director had the extras practice their movements over and over again.

Once all the preliminary preparations are ready, it only takes three to five minutes to shoot a shot.

Since the two shots were connected, for editing purposes, Jiang Feng simply shouted "cut" in the middle of the shooting. Immediately afterwards, the crew's deputy director Dawei raised the clapperboard in his hand again.

"Action!"

The band stopped and everyone looked at the sack hanging high in the air.

The voice continued: "Gao Ming, if you have the guts, let me down."

Fu Heng waved his hand, and the sack hanging in the air slowly descended.

When the sack reached the ground, several of Fu Heng's nimble subordinates took the sack off and opened it. Inside was Zhao Laonian, a man with an unshaven beard, wearing a security uniform.

Fu Heng squatted down, took off Zhao Laonian's hat, patted his head and said:

"How dare you bark? You are a security guard, not a police officer, don't you understand? You are a watchdog for Gao Ming, you are very filial!"

"Hahaha…"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

In anger, Zhao Laonian rushed over and knocked Fu Heng to the ground. Fu Heng's younger brothers saw their boss being bullied, so they rushed over and started fighting with Zhao Laonian.
