Entertainment 1998

Chapter 638 Chapter 637, The Hollywood actress who came to me
After receiving the key to the private yacht [Miracle], Jiang Feng took a shower, got dressed and came out of the bathroom, only to find that Han Shanye and Jiang Zhiqiang were gone, leaving only the chubby Yu Dong, who was sitting happily on the sofa waiting.

Jiang Feng wanted to ask about Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Shanye, but before he could say anything, he knew why the two guys left.

Because at this moment, the private chef from India finally showed his skills and made a pot of potato paste with a strong curry flavor and placed it on the dining table.

Well, seeing this thing, let alone eating it, even ordinary Chinese people would want to vomit when they smell it.

"Hehe... Jiang Feng, when President Han and President Jiang heard that the filming of The Departed would be completed this morning, they immediately went to Old Beijing, which is the most famous Chinese restaurant in Chicago.

The restaurant’s specialty dishes include roast duck, lamb skewers, Kung Pao chicken, pickled fish and more.

President Han and President Jiang said that they had originally planned to hold a celebration banquet for "This Man From Earth" in the evening, as well as a wrap banquet for the movie "The Departed", but now they have time at noon, so they changed the dinner time to noon. "

"okay, I get it."

Jiang Feng was a little impressed by these two cunning old foxes. They were clearly trying to avoid such a disgusting breakfast, but they gave such legitimate reasons.

You know, changing a dinner reservation to lunch can be done with just a phone call.

"Um…"

Jiang Feng came to the living room and sat down.

"Brother Dong, do you like this curry-flavored breakfast?"

"Brother Feng, as long as it's something you like to eat, it's basically not bad. I think it should be OK after you get used to it!"

wipe…

Jiang Feng cursed secretly.

Now, I have found the reason why I couldn't succeed in my previous life. If you don't believe me, just look at what Yu Dong said...

"Okay, Dong brother, let's go.

I invite you to have breakfast downstairs."

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Yu Dong was not surprised at all. He smiled lightly and quickly followed Jiang Feng out of the door.

……

Auditorium West Hill Garden
Located in the western suburbs of Chicago, it is less than 30 minutes' drive from Napkin, a town with a large Chinese population.

The solemn architectural style, garden-like beauty, and geographical advantages close to the western and northwestern suburbs have led more and more Chinese living here to choose Litang Xishan Garden as a resting place for themselves and their families, and a Feng Shui blessed land to benefit their descendants.

The two scenes that Jiang Feng wanted to reshoot were shot in this cemetery. The reason for reshooting was the suggestion of the Chicago police, who said that they should hold the funeral of their police colleagues more solemnly and involve the state police. They suggested doing so even though this was a movie.

Secondly, Jiang Feng felt that it was Charlize Theron's first appearance in this movie, and her performance was still a little lacking. Unlike now, she has played the role of Madeline for such a long time and has a deeper understanding of the feelings towards Billy and Clint.

Charlize Theron should be much better at filming now than before.

Coming out of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Chicago, Jiang Feng sat in the car, thinking about this, and they arrived at the cemetery.

Perhaps because the film was about to be wrapped, today the crew was even more efficient than usual. Even though many real state police were added to the cemetery, they had already set up the filming scene before Jiang Feng arrived.

"Brother Feng, it's OK, do we want to shoot now?"

Dawei smiled brightly.

15 minutes ago, I received a text message from my mother, in which she said that the second installment of the box office revenue for the movie "This Man From Earth" had arrived, for a total of 2 million RMB, which is equivalent to 661.6 US dollars.

Although it is not as shocking as the last time of 1488.56 million RMB, but looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, even his second box office share is still one of the highest incomes.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take Chen Daoming, who became famous for playing the role of Kangxi. His annual income is less than 600 million.

Well, happy.

It's a bit inflated.

The last time we were playing in Hong Kong Island, Dawei still had Da H’s phone number, so he sent a text message to Da H as soon as possible.

[Sister H, first of all, let me make it clear that it’s not that you are not good enough, nor is it that you are famous now, but the offer is a bit high.

But I want to take care of the business of other sisters in our Baodao Province. Well, this time, I like Xie Jinyan, can you help me contact her? Of course, I will pay you the agency fee. 】

"Um…"

Jiang Feng seemed to be unable to bear the sight of being so happy.

"Brother Dawei..."

"Ok?"

"After the shooting is finished in the morning and the celebration banquet is held at noon, you will lead the team back to Beijing in the afternoon, right? I am going to Los Angeles to edit the movie "The Departed" myself before returning home."

"Ah, so fast?"

Big surprise.

I just sent a text message to Da H, saying that I wanted to meet Zhu Geliang's daughter, Miss Xie, to hang out in Hong Kong Island. How come you arranged a job for me so quickly?!
"Brother Dawei, I have a script on hand, which I wrote based on a neighbor in my hometown. I want to find Zhang Yimou and Gong Li to play the role. The shooting time span is a bit long, about 5 months.

I'm afraid Gong Li won't accept the role, so please bring the script to her so she can be mentally prepared. I'll talk to her about it after I return to China.

Oh, right.

Gong Li is currently filming "Zhou Yu's Train" in the mountain city. It seems that the filming has just started, and Liang Jiahui has also gone.

You can go over and help me understand their situation."

"no problem."

Dawei was very happy.

Firstly, Gong Li is his dream lover, and now he finally has a chance to meet her openly; secondly, Jiang Feng is working again, which means he can make money.

Just thinking about the text message he had just sent, Dawei started scratching his head.

"Brother Feng, how about this? I'll let my brothers fly directly to Beijing first, and I'll go to Hong Kong Island to play for two days, and then fly directly to Shancheng from Hong Kong Island?"

"Are you in Hong Kong for business?" Jiang Feng was confused.

But when he saw the obscene expression on Dawei's face, he suddenly understood.

"Okay, kid, you can play for three to five days before going, but there is one thing you have to remember.

I've read a lot of entertainment magazines and found that young models are popular in Hong Kong Island recently. There are many little girls who are not even 14 years old, but they have already shot cover advertisements for various magazines. Well, you must control yourself and don't provoke them?"

“Oh…Okay!”

Standing outside the cemetery shooting site, Jiang Feng had a brief chat with his assistant Dawei, then patted him on the shoulder and went to check everyone's preparations.

It didn't take long, about 5 minutes, and seeing that the shooting scene was almost ready, Jiang Feng raised his hand to Dawei.

He understood what was said and immediately raised the clapperboard in his hand.

"Action!"

Leonardo Dicaprio's grave.

His mother is also buried in this cemetery.

The police officers in uniforms lined up, not only representing the state police, but also representing the countless dead police officers, saluting their "brother police officers"!

At this moment, Charlize Theron was also standing in front of Leonardo Dicaprio's grave.

Her tears had dried up and she avoided looking at Matt Damon.

He looked at her.

She turned her head away, obviously never wanting to talk to him again.

Seeing Charlize Theron like this, Matt Damon returned to normal.

He came to this world to keep getting promoted, not to be romantic!
At this moment, gunshots rang out in the cemetery.

"Okay, passed, next scene!" "Action!"

Later…

Matt Damon and Charlize Theron walk among tombstones.

Matt Damon asked: "What about the kids?"

She didn't answer, but hurried away.

...

Since these two scenes had been filmed before, neither the actors nor the crew did much preparation and just started working right away.

You know what, the effect is really good. Even with the addition of hundreds of real state police, these two scenes were still filmed within an hour and a half.

The filming was completed at 10:30 in the morning. Jiang Feng carefully looked at the playback on the director's monitor and picked up the walkie-talkie from the side.

"Now I declare that the filming of The Departed has officially finished!"

"Ooooooooo..."

"Long live the director!"

"Brother Feng, I love you!"

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, look over here, we are collectively giving you a heart."

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, all the staff in the crew jumped up and down with excitement. They had worked hard in the United States for more than two months, filming two movies, and now they could finally return home.

And Dawei just said that after lunch, everyone can take the 3:00 pm flight and return home as soon as possible.

Compared with the crew members from China, temporary employees from the United States and Hollywood actors are a little reluctant to leave.

Although this Chinese director named Jiang Feng is very cool and often does some cool things on the crew that others would never expect, it is really enjoyable to work with him.

Lots of money and good food.

He treats all of them equally, whether they are regular troops from the country or temporary employees recruited in the United States.

Just like today's wrap-up party or celebration party for the crew, no matter whether you have made a big contribution or a small contribution; no matter whether you have just joined the filming today or have been with the crew for two and a half months, everyone can participate, and they can eat super expensive Chinese food!

"Jiang…"

"Ok?"

In the cemetery, Jiang Feng packed up his things and was about to leave with the crew when Charlize Theron came over.

“This afternoon, are you going back home or to Los Angeles?”

"I'm going to Los Angeles to edit "The Departed" to ensure that the film can be released smoothly in early August." Although we only had one close contact, we have become friends long ago.

If he had anything to say, Jiang Feng was very honest with the Hollywood actress.

“Well, forget it.

I originally wanted to go back to China with you to see the difference between the Beijing I imagined and the real Beijing. Then I wanted to visit the Beijing Film Academy where you are currently studying for your master's degree.

Let's see what kind of university can cultivate such outstanding talents, first-class singing, first-class music creation, first-class literary creation, and first-class directing level. "

what…

Jiang Feng was surprised.

God!

What's going on? This beautiful girl wants to go home with her buddy? !

Without looking at the surprised Jiang Feng's expression, Charlize Theron, with her head lowered in the cemetery, continued talking to herself.

"Jiang, due to my wonderful performance in This Man From Earth, the crew of In Despair took the initiative to contact my agent.

It is said that I will play the leading female role in the movie "In Despair" which will start shooting in August.

So if you wait until you finish editing the film and then go back, then I won’t be able to go back to China with you.”

Having said this, Charlize Theron suddenly looked up.

"Jiang, please remember me, please remember me!
Maybe at some point, I will appear in front of you, yes, that's for sure."

After saying that, Charlize Theron didn't even have to stand on tiptoe. She moved closer to Jiang Feng and hugged him tightly, then gave him a passionate kiss in front of everyone.

"Together!"

"Together!"

No matter if they were Americans or crew members from China, at this moment they were all there to watch the fun and enjoy the fun. Even though they were inside the cemetery, everyone applauded excitedly.

Hearing the applause, Charlize Theron felt a little shy, so she separated from Jiang Feng and walked quickly towards her car.

Today, anyone who has a car in Chicago drove here to film.

Being forcefully kissed by a beautiful woman... is actually not a big deal, because it has happened before. Even if this behavior is photographed by a nosy entertainment reporter and posted online, Jiang Feng can explain it very well.

Hollywood actors today can't even do a kissing scene, and they want me to demonstrate it myself?!

But now, Jiang Feng still stood there.

The main reason was that the news just now was too shocking. Charlize Theron actually wanted to go home with him, and looking at her attitude, it seemed that she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Could it be that what she said this morning was true?
Jiang Feng, can I be your lover?

We are truly a perfect match.

I don't want to get married, but being your lover doesn't mean I have to marry you; I don't want to have children, and you definitely don't want to have children with your lover; I really enjoy being an actor, and you are a very talented film director...

Just as I was thinking about it, a tall and beautiful woman in jeans and a white shirt walked by from a distance. The woman's expression could not be described as happy or sad. She walked over and said quietly: "Still intoxicated.

Don't be intoxicated.

Everyone has left and gone to the Chinese restaurant called Old Beijing. Shall we go too? "

"Oh…"

Jiang Feng turned around and saw that it was Li Jiaxin.

Looking around, I found that there were really not many crew members in the cemetery.

"Aren't you leaving? I mean leaving the crew, because you have seen that our movie has been completed and everyone has disbanded smoothly." Jiang Feng asked.

"I won't leave, I'll follow you!" Li Jiaxin seemed to have made up her mind.

"Because, Jiang Feng, apart from staying with you, I seem to have nowhere else to go now."

You can go back to Hong Kong Island!

Before he could finish his words, Li Jiaxin took out a newspaper from her bag and handed it to him.

I looked at the date on it and saw that the newspaper was from a week ago. I thought it must have been mailed by Li Jiaxin's family or friends.

【Ming Pao:
Li Jiaxin, the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong in history, encountered the biggest crisis since her debut. Now she has become a joke among the wealthy circles in Asia, and many wealthy people use this as a warning to their sons.

You see, a woman like Li Jiaxin who is good-looking but has no brains should never be married into the family.

Speaking of this beautiful Hong Kong sister who has no brains, this matter has to start with the movie "This Man From Earth" which was released in North America on May 5.

"This Man From Earth" is a science fiction blockbuster shot by mainland director Jiang Feng in one day. You read that right, this movie was shot in one day, and Li Jiaxin is one of the actors.

At the time, Jiang Feng thought it was a joke, and the main purpose was to let the actors find their performance rhythm before filming, so he asked China Film Group, Edko Films, Miramax Films and Lionsgate Films for a production fee of US$5000. You read that right, the production cost of this movie, which grossed US$3.5 million worldwide, was only US$5000...】
