Chapter 619 Chapter 618, I have to endure scolding you
Li Jia is gone!

Jiang Feng also returned home.

As for what Li Jia talked about, Jiang Feng just listened and didn't care.

Having been with Wang Jinghua for such a long time, Jiang Feng already knew her methods and meticulous approach very well, so he was not worried about leaving any loopholes.

As for Yan Zi who was crying at Teacher Cui's house..., let her make as much trouble as she wants. If you have the ability, produce evidence.

Of course, if she could produce evidence, she wouldn't make such a fuss.

Jiang Feng could also roughly guess Teacher Cui's reaction:
Yan Zi, I didn't know whether Jiang Feng was the one behind the scratching of your face. But now I know that you made a mistake but you want to use Jiang Feng as a scapegoat.

Because Li Jia bought fresh vegetables and meat.

Jiang Feng made two side dishes at home, fried lettuce with oil and stir-fried pork belly with beans. The rice was braised Wuchang rice, which tasted excellent. He ate three bowls at once.

While we were having dinner, Wang Fei called.

She said she is currently recording songs in Hong Kong Island and will be back in Beijing in a few days. Well, when the time comes, she will come over with Leslie Cheung and they will chat about the movie "The Yellow Sea".

In response, Jiang Feng agreed with a smile.

After lunch and a short rest, Jiang Feng went directly to the Beijing Film Studio.

Unlike the two films "Nobody" and "Seeing a Ghost", Jiang Feng planned and personally supervised every aspect of "Departures", including editing, music, sound effects, color grading, synthesis, subtitles, etc.

Strive to make "Departures" better than its predecessor!
Perhaps seeing Jiang Feng's attitude, Han Shanye, chairman of China Film Group, immediately went all out and deployed all the best post-production staff from Beijing Film Studio, and even the best in the country, to the crew of "Departures".

For example, Zhang Yifan is the editor of "Devils on the Doorstep"; Zhao Jiping is one of the few music masters in the mainland. His works include the TV series "Water Margin", the movie "Red Sorghum", the movie "A Chinese Odyssey 1 and 2" etc.

With the addition of these experts, the production of "Departures" entered the fast lane from the afternoon of April 2002, 4.

The rough cut was completed on the 15th, the fine cut was completed on the 17th, the soundtrack for the entire film was completed on the 21st, the post-production sound effects for the film were completed on the 22nd, and the post-production color grading of the film began on the 24th…

At the beginning, in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Jiang Feng had promised Shochiku Film's president Nobuyoshi Otani that he would be able to complete the production of this film before May 5st.

Sure enough, Jiang Feng did not break his promise.

Early in the morning of April 4, he took out the finished film of "Departures".

As soon as the film was completed, Han Shanye invited Harvey Weinstein, who was still in China and arguing with Zhang Weiping of Xin Picture Film Company, to the screening room of Beijing Film Studio.

Without saying a word, after Harvey Weinstein arrived, Han Shanye directly ordered the staff to start the screening.

[Shonai Plain in winter
The Shonai Plain was covered in snow. An old coffin cart was driving on the country road.

In the car
Watanabe Seiei, the president of a professional embalming company, was sitting in the assistant seat of the car, smoking a cigarette.

Sitting in the driver's seat, steering the wheel, is the newly-appointed undertaker Daigo Kobayashi.

Daogu’s inner monologue: I remember that the winters when I was a child were not this cold.

The coffin carriage drove towards the village covered with a thin layer of snow...】

...

Wang Fei came to the capital.

Those who came with her included Liu Jialing, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, who was in a very good mood recently.

The four people came to Beijing and first went to the Beijing Film Academy community. They did not find Jiang Feng there, so under the guidance of the community security guard, they came to the Beijing Film Studio.

Then we went to the screening room on the 2nd floor.

After entering the screening room, the four people were attracted by the scenes on the screen before they could even see what was going on.

Winter, bleak

A sense of lifeless desolation rises from the bottom of people's hearts.

Even Mei Yanfang, who had never been interested in mainland movies, was deeply attracted by the movie scenes at this moment.

The lighting and the shots create a very nice atmosphere without any dialogue. Since this is the internal screening room of Beijing Film Studio, which is used for watching films within the company, there are not too many seats. I took a rough look and found that there are only about 70 seats.

Perhaps because "Departures" was the first daily life movie shot by Chinese people, the screening room was full of people. Yes, in addition to the people sitting in the seats, there were also audiences standing in the aisles and in the back rows.

Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Liu Jialing and Wang Fei stood in the last row.

[Daogu began the burial work.]

The woman's body was covered with a white silk quilt.

Daogu picked up the cotton wool dipped in alcohol, reached his arms into the quilt, and wiped the woman's body with his hands.

Daogu's hand started from the neck, then slowly moved down to the chest and abdomen.

When his hand reached his lower abdomen, Daogu's expression suddenly froze.

Watanabe couldn't help but become suspicious.

Watanabe: What’s going on…】

Liu Jialing is watching a movie.

I watched it very seriously, because if you want to understand a man, a man who is both an actor and a director, then the most direct way to understand him is to watch his works.

But to be honest, Liu Jialing really doesn't have much artistic talent.

After watching for a while, her mind immediately wandered. She tilted her head to look at Wang Fei beside her. Liu Jialing nudged her with her elbow.

"A Fei..."

"Ok?"

"Why aren't you jealous?"

"Why are you jealous?" Wang Fei was puzzled.

Although she felt confused by her friend's words, she did not turn to look at Liu Jialing, but kept her eyes on the big screen.

Well, how should I put it?

This movie has a bit of the flavor of King of Darkness, especially in the use of lighting and long lenses.

"Such a beautiful actress, lying on the ground playing a dead body, was being touched non-stop by Jiang Feng."

To be honest, at this moment of speaking, Liu Jialing herself was a little jealous of the extras lying on the ground.

How great it would be if I were this extra!
Jiang Feng would start from my left leg, then move all the way up, then to my right leg, followed by my two arms and two rabbit heads.

Just as she was having a hysterical fit, Liu Jialing suddenly heard a few light words coming out of Wang Fei's mouth.

"A Ling, let me tell you a horrible thing. The person lying on the ground is not an extra, but a dead person. Jiang Feng used a real dead person to film..."

"what!"

Before Wang Fei finished speaking, Liu Jialing screamed in shock. However, she knew that the sound was inappropriate, so she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

But even so quickly, someone in the front row of the theater turned around and cursed:
"If you want to watch a movie, watch a movie. If you don't want to watch a movie, get out and don't make trouble here!"

Who is Liu Jialing?
Although her acting skills are not that great, she is indeed a celebrity in the Hong Kong film and television circles. Looking across Hong Kong Island, every one of them, no matter if they are big-name actors or big-name directors, have to call her Sister Jialing when they see her.

Now that she was scolded here, Liu Jialing got angry and was about to say a few words back, but at this time, her good friend Wang Fei covered her mouth with her hand.

“Don’t talk, don’t talk back.

If you dare to talk back, not only you, but also your Ah Wei will disappear from the Chinese film and television industry."

"what…"

"Listen to me, this is what Jiang Feng said!" Wang Fei said again.
