Chapter 635 Chapter 634, Jiang Feng, I'm sorry, I regret it
Jiang Feng had thought it over carefully!

The house in Hong Kong Island was given to my elder sister Jiang Ye because she will be working in Dongguan and Pengcheng in the future. Having a residence in Hong Kong Island will make her life more convenient and will also make it easier for her to obtain Hong Kong citizenship smoothly. Then, she can manage Damai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. as a Hong Kong businessman.

Damai Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. will not evade taxes, but Jiang Feng hopes that Jiang Ye can also get the preferential treatment that Hong Kong businessmen can get!
The house in Beijing was given to Li Xing because the beautiful producer had decided not to get married in the future and to stay together for the rest of her life. She would consider having two children when she was around 30 years old, which would make her life complete.

As a man, Jiang Feng naturally has to be responsible.

The girl is planning to spend her life with her without any formal status, so we naturally cannot be stingy. We will just give her the villa located in Ziyu Villa.

Well..., it is said that Harvey Weinstein has a good vision and bought the best location in the entire community. Next to this villa is the villa of the famous domestic actor Zhang Guoli.

This means becoming neighbors with big-name stars from the mainland.

After signing the house purchase agreement, Li Xing was very excited!

He stayed in Room 2808 of the Park Hyatt Hotel the entire night, and there was only one question in his mind: What does Jiang Feng want?
She gives whatever.

Role-playing such as nurse uniform, policewoman, or perverted beautiful girl.

Li Xing's bold move almost made Jiang Feng laugh.

Where is this?

It's just a villa worth 4-5 million RMB. If you knew that this house might be worth 50-60 million RMB in a dozen years, would you still ask your buddy if he wants a whip or something? !
After complaining a few words about this beauty and fulfilling his due duties on her, Jiang Feng sat alone in front of the window and thought about tomorrow's filming of "The Departed".

That's right, under the operation of American college students, "This Man From Earth" has indeed quickly attracted the attention of movie fans all over the world, and this movie is likely to get a higher box office than the previous life's 3.5 million US dollars.

Because whether it is George Clooney, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, or Leonardo Dicaprio, they all have a large number of loyal fans.

But, that's only the past.

What Jiang Feng wants is to continue his success with the next movie.

According to the arrangement, a more exciting scene will be filmed tomorrow, which is the scene where the two male protagonists of "The Departed", Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon, confront each other on the rooftop.

Regarding this scene, in the past, the Hong Kong version and the American version had two different shooting methods. The beauty created by the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is the implicit melancholy unique to the East, whether it is the empty rooftop where Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau finally meet, or the slow long shot when Huang Qiusheng falls from the building, or soothing music such as "The Forgotten Time", they are all exquisite and restrained beauty.

In contrast, the American version of "Infernal Affairs" is full of rough and real beauty, with the protagonist's tension when killing people, blood splattering after a headshot, and all kinds of swear words such as fxxk.

The most direct contrast between the two is probably the dialogue between the two protagonists on the rooftop:
[Hong Kong version: Sorry, I'm a policeman! ]

[US version: I am a police officer from the Massachusetts Police Department. Who the hell are you?]

Comparing these two versions, from a Chinese perspective, the Hong Kong version is better. The Hong Kong version contains a lot of Eastern Buddhist dialectical thoughts. Even the name of the movie is taken from the "Avici Hell" in Buddhist legend.

But the screenwriter didn't just want to tell the story of a fight between a pair of mortal enemies.

They focus more on showing the common helplessness of the characters towards fate. After watching the movie, many people even suspect that Liang Chaowei's death might be a kind of relief that Liu Jianming could never hope for.

Martin Scorsese, the director of the American version of "The Departed", also likes to mix a lot of religious content into his movies.

Of course, it is Christianity that is not well understood by Chinese people.

But unlike the Hong Kong version, the relationship between the two protagonists in this movie is very simple and extremely antagonistic. Leonardo Dicaprio is willing to fall into the evil forces in order to fight crime, doing violent activities that he hates, and finally sacrifices his life in original sin and redemption.

Matt Damon is clearly evil. Even though he is in the police camp, he cannot hide the dark side of his heart.

Sitting alone in front of the window, Jiang Feng thought for a long time and finally decided that the rooftop scene and the following major scenes should be shot mainly based on the American version and supplemented by the Hong Kong version.

It takes the American version's story as its core, and then adopts the Hong Kong version's shooting methods, especially the wonderful use of long shots.

Ok…

Two days ago, Jiang Feng received a text message from Wang Fei. In the text message, Wang Fei revealed that director Liu Weiqiang intended to invite her to star in the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", playing the role of the female psychologist.

The official launch date is set on September 9th.

By September 9th, the movie "The Departed" that I shot will probably have been released. Haha, by then, it won't be me who is learning from your shooting methods.

You plagiarized me.

After figuring this out, Jiang Feng raised his wrist to look at his watch. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to take a shower and go to bed, but at this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

[Jiang Feng, it’s me, Li Jiaxin! ]

[Yes, I have your phone number saved. Um, what's up?]

【have!

Jiang Feng, there is one thing you may not know. When we finished filming "This Man From Earth", I wanted to sign a preliminary agreement with the crew in Chicago.

After this movie is released, as one of the leading actors, I can probably get 0.56% of the box office revenue.

But right.

At that time, it was your agent and producer Li Xing who misled me and made me give up signing the contract in exchange for the opportunity for Yehenala Ying's boyfriend Xie Tingfeng to appear in your film. 】

[I know about this, why don't you just tell me your request?!]

[Jiang Feng, don't you see the point of what I'm saying? ]

[What I said was that it was your agent and producer Li Xing who misled me, which is why I refused to sign the agreement, so I think you should correct her mistake.

Re-sign a draft agreement with me on behalf of the crew.

Well, you know, I can’t possibly help a man I don’t know well to star in your movie at a cost of $151.6 million! 】

[Miss Li, I'm sorry, I just follow the rules.]

[If you have a draft agreement with the crew, then congratulations, the prize money you will eventually receive may be more than US$151.6 million.

But if not, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. ]

After sending the text message, Jiang Feng immediately turned off his phone.

Based on his experience of fighting with many beauties in the past two or three years, Jiang Feng believed that if a beautiful woman was angry, she would definitely call and make trouble, no matter whether she was right or not.

……

the next day, early morning

Just after 6 o'clock, Jiang Feng, wearing sportswear, came down from the building and ran along Michigan Avenue towards the Chicago River Park.

Go to the riverside park in the morning, do some boxing by the river, breathe in the fresh air, and then run back. That’s basically enough exercise for the day.

Usually, Jiang Feng goes jogging in the morning.

Charlize Theron, who is 1 meters tall, will definitely keep up, and today is no exception.

Jiang Feng had just come downstairs when the beautiful lady in the bright red sportswear was already waiting for him downstairs.

"Hi Jiang, good morning!"

"morning!"

Jiang Feng responded, stood in the garden downstairs of the Park Hyatt Hotel Chicago, stretched his arms and legs, and then ran towards the Riverside Park with Charlize Theron.

"Jiang, thank you!" "Why are you thanking me?" Jiang Feng was curious.

"Yesterday, the first payment of the revenue from This Man From Earth arrived in my account. It was 1 million US dollars. I am very happy. This is the largest single income I have received this year."

"Oh, really? Just be happy!"

Chatting with the beautiful woman did not affect Jiang Feng's morning exercise at all. It was all meaningless nonsense anyway, so he just said it.

"Well, Jiang, do you remember who my boyfriend is?"

"Isn't he Stuart Townsend who is filming in our crew?" Jiang Feng asked back.

"It's him, that's right!

Jiang, I want to tell you that at 10:30 last night, we officially broke up. From now on, he will go his way and I will go mine.

Although Charlize Theron spoke casually, Jiang Feng could still see the reluctance in her eyes.

"Can you tell me why?" Jiang Feng asked.

“The ideas don’t match.

Stuart Townsend proposed to me, and even pressed me to marry him, and I was a bachelor;
Stuart Townsend thought that I'd better give him three children, otherwise my good genes would be wasted. However, I was hurt by my parents' divorce when I was a child, so I have no plans to get married or have children in this life.

Well, at most we can just adopt a few."

"So you broke up?" Jiang Feng asked.

This doesn't seem to be an irreconcilable contradiction. Women need to be pampered and coaxed. Just like a host named Chun Ni at Beijing TV Station. No matter what her ex-husband did to her, she just refused to have children.

And when she found her husband Gang, who later became a program host, she gave birth to a son.

So when it comes to women, you need to pay attention to strategies and methods.

"yes!
So we broke up.

Jiang, how about I be your lover?"

"Uh…"

Jiang Feng was a little confused by the sudden fierce words.

Charlize Theron, you are the Queen of South Africa and one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood. How can you say such things?
"Jiang, you see, when I'm with you, we both get what we need.

First of all, if I am your lover, you definitely cannot marry me. From this point of view, we complement each other.
Secondly, I don’t like having children, and you definitely don’t want me to have your children, so from this point of view, we complement each other.

Secondly, I am passionate about film and television acting, and you are one of the best film directors in the world. From this point of view, we are still complementary.

Finally, I like men to give me the strongest impact and the most intense stimulation, and you have done all of them.

Well, to sum up, I am just suitable to be your lover, hey, hey, Jiang, don't run away, how about we discuss this matter again..."

Discuss with your sister?!
It's obviously a consensual thing. For the sake of filming the movie, it's enough to do it once or twice. There's no need to keep insisting on it.

Also, from what you said, you actually want to sign an agreement with me... If I don't run away now, when will I run away?

Jiang Feng ran faster.

Even Charlize Theron, who is 1 meters tall, couldn't catch up with him.

The tall beauty was so angry that she was jumping up and down while standing on the sidewalk beside the road.

Jiang Feng ran back to the hotel, took a shower, changed his clothes and went to the restaurant downstairs.

Li Xing, the film producer, had been waiting for Jiang Feng in the restaurant for a long time.

"Brother Feng, I've ordered eggs, cereal, bacon, bread, and milk for you. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Li Xing was still immersed in yesterday's excitement.

A few days ago, my parents called and said that the relevant departments are planning to turn Nanluoguxiang into a 4A-level scenic spot. Living in Nanluoguxiang will definitely be very noisy in the future, so they want to find a quiet place to live.

Now, the villa in Ziyu Villa is just right.

"Okay!

The main thing is to fill my stomach.”

When it comes to food, Jiang Feng is quite particular about it when he is in China. Breakfast must be nutritionally balanced and he can have things like fresh meat wontons, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, etc.

But this is the United States.

It is so difficult to find a place to have a normal breakfast in the United States.

So, Jiang Feng is not particular about food now and just eats whatever is available.

"Xiaoxiang..."

"Ok?"

"when are you leaving?"

"The Departed" has been filmed for the most part, and if we follow the filming schedule, the film will be finished in about 20 days.

As the producer, Li Xing had to go to Northeast China and South Korea in advance to prepare for Jiang Feng's next film "The Yellow Sea", mainly to sign an agreement with the relevant local authorities.

"I originally planned to leave in the afternoon, but later I thought, let's leave at 9 am. This way, I will have time to go to Dongguan, meet my sixth sister, and accompany her to Hong Kong Island to handle the property transfer."

"Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit!"

Jiang Feng ate very quickly. In no time, he had finished all the milk, bread and ham.

After eating, Jiang Feng wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Xiaoxiang, I have discussed with President Han that the movie "Departures" will not participate in the three major European film festivals, because Europeans have never understood the funeral customs of Oriental people, and it is estimated that it would be a waste of time for us to go.

So what I mean is…”

"knew!

Even if I were invited by the three major European film festivals, I would decline it. "

Li Xing knew about this.

The three major European film festivals, whether it is the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, or the Venice Film Festival, all attach great importance to Chinese-language films and generally take the initiative to invite some new works and prestigious directors to participate.

Although "Departures" has only been screened for a month and a half, it has already entered the vision of these film festivals.

After all, this is a work written and directed by Jiang Feng, and another very famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou is the other male lead in this film.

With such a strong lineup, it is inevitable that it will attract the attention of European film festivals.

While Li Xing was thinking about this, Dawei came running over in a hurry.

"Brother Feng, Mr. Li, Li Jiaxin flew here from China and has just arrived at the hotel."
