Entertainment 1998

Chapter 654 Chapter 653, Joining the Group of "Infernal Affairs"

"If you take too big a step, you may easily hurt yourself," this is a famous movie line uttered by Jiang Wen.

Now, Jiang Feng felt like he was kidding himself!

At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, it is the right time to show off your talents in the entertainment industry. You have good looks and energy. You have experienced eighteen complicated lives, and you are about to show it through your acting skills...

But at this time, a famous TV drama director said, your achievements are too high, you have become my idol, so I feel I can't direct you.

This is not bullshit, what is it? !

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Director Hu Mei is giving herself a shot of prevention, 'Jiang Feng, if you still want to act in the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han", then you must listen to me! '

Ok…

Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Cui Xinqin: "Teacher Cui, it is my honor as a Chinese to be able to act in the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han". I really hope to show the magnificent life of this emperor through the TV series.

In addition, I also want to put an end to my TV drama career through "The Emperor of Han Wu", and I don't plan to take on any more TV dramas in the future.

So, please tell Director Hu Mei that during the filming of the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han", I will do my best to follow the instructions and not cause trouble for the director or the crew."

"Um…"

Cui Xinqin, who was eating beef, was slightly stunned when she heard this, but before she could speak, Xu Jinglei, who had been a little reserved, spoke.

"Jiang Feng, do you really have to act in this TV series?"

“It’d better be acting!”

After saying this, Jiang Feng's eyes were filled with longing.

"In that life, I was the prince of Changsha. I once went to Chang'an on behalf of my old father to meet Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che. At that time, we were about the same age, but I was impressed by his great talent and strategy..."

"Pfft, haha..."

Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Cui Xinqin, Li Xing and Xu Jinglei all laughed out loud.

"Jiang Feng, you kid."

"Brother Feng, that's awesome. What you said sounds like the truth."

"Jiang Feng, not bad, your acting has improved again. Although the lines are absurd, your eyes are very sincere, as if you have experienced it yourself."

Looking at the three women who were eating at the same table and laughing until tears came out, Jiang Feng sighed helplessly. "What my buddy said is true. The owner of the ancient tomb unearthed in Yuanling, southern Hunan three years ago, Wu Yang, is actually me. Why don't you believe it?"

Well, don't you think about it, who has the ability to write down so many predictions about earthquakes and tsunamis in the ancient tombs? !
...

Lunch was simple, just 4 dishes.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng and Li Xing had to take a plane to Hong Kong Island, so everyone didn't drink, but just had a simple meal and chatted about work and life.

During the conversation, Jiang Feng repeatedly expressed his wish to star in the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han". Cui Xinqin said that she would do her best to persuade director Hu Mei to let Jiang Feng, who had "seen" Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che himself, play the role.

Although Cui Xinqin didn't even believe this reason herself, she still agreed to give it a try.

Xu Jinglei said that the movie "Love Is Not Blind" has now received an investment of 1000 million RMB and has reached the stage of looking for actors. As the director and starring actor, she hoped that Jiang Feng could play the leading role, but Jiang Feng refused.

My buddy, a very masculine man, cannot play a sissy role.

What's more, I don't want to cause trouble.

It is said that in his previous life, after Wen Zhang played this role, he received 27 love letters from [1] within a month...

Damn, being publicly courted by more than 20 men, that scene is disgusting just thinking about it.

Seeing Jiang Feng's refusal, Cui Xinqin suddenly became happy and quickly recommended Chen Kun, who was from the 96 undergraduate class of the Performance Department, to Xu Jinglei.

You know what, when they heard the name Chen Kun, the four people sitting together for dinner nodded in unison, as if he was the most suitable person!
The flight departed at 2 p.m., and according to normal time, it should have arrived at Hong Kong International Airport at 5:5 p.m., but in fact, the plane landed smoothly before p.m.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Feng turned around and took a look, and immediately gave a thumbs up. He really didn’t notice that he was taking a Shandong Airlines flight today. No wonder he arrived early!

Since they arrived in Hong Kong Island early, Wang Fei, who was supposed to pick up Jiang Feng at the airport and then take him to the set of "Infernal Affairs", did not come, so Jiang Feng had to take a taxi by himself.

As for Li Xing...

She went directly to No. 56 Repulse Bay Road, where there was a detached house given to Jiang Feng by Lionsgate CEO Jon Fillmore. Although the house was currently under Jiang Ye's name, Li Xing had the key, so they could be considered good sisters living together.

In fact, Jiang Feng wanted Li Xing to live at home, but he was afraid that Wang Fei would be furious.

You found a lover outside, and I tolerated you, but I didn't expect you to bring your lover to live at home... What's the matter? Are you bullying me because I don't dare to pick up the kitchen knife to chop you in the middle of the night? !

...

To be honest, I can't help but accept it.

The efficiency of the film crew in Hong Kong is really very high. After getting off the plane and sitting in the taxi, Jiang Feng just called the director Liu Weiqiang and said, "I'm here. Where are you filming now?" so that he could take a taxi over.

When the taxi was halfway through its journey, it was stopped by a silver Toyota Alpha. The driver was King Liu. As the producer, he personally drove over to greet Jiang Feng.

When Jiang Feng opened the door of the Toyota Alpha, he was a little surprised. There were two people sitting in the car, one was a makeup artist and the other was the costume stylist of the crew.

Seeing Jiang Feng in a daze, King Liu, who was driving on the road, smiled and said, "Brother Feng, there is nothing I can do about it, so please be considerate and understand me.

We are so pressed for time!
If it wants to ride on the popularity of The Departed, Infernal Affairs must be completed by mid-September.”

"Haha, it's okay, Brother Hua, I can understand the crew doing this."

Since the makeup artist and costume stylist were already here, Jiang Feng naturally did not hesitate. He changed his clothes in the car first, and then sat in the middle seat of the Toyota Alpha, allowing the female makeup artist to do his makeup and styling.

"Brother Feng..."

"Brother Hua, you say."

"Today, the first scene you are going to shoot is a bit complicated. It is a scene where you meet your ex-girlfriend on the street. You are chatting with each other in a relaxed manner, but you are not relaxed at all.

Especially when the Filipino maid leads a beautiful little girl to appear in front of you..."

As the producer of "Infernal Affairs", King Liu is basically so busy now that he is almost out of his mind.

In the crew, he not only acted as the production manager, but also the assistant director. While driving the car, he took advantage of the makeup time to chat with Jiang Feng about the shooting content of the next scene.

To be honest, when King Liu talks about drama, he is really average. He can only speak in a plain and straightforward manner, but he doesn’t talk about…

What kind of emotion should be used depending on the place you are talking about!
I think this is also the reason why King Liu has been acting for so many years but has not been able to become a film director. Unlike Jia Ling and Xu Guangtou, who dared to become directors after only acting in two or three films.

"Brother Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Can I ask you a favor?"

After talking about the movie, before the car arrived, King Liu looked at Jiang Feng, who had already put on makeup, through the rearview mirror and asked tentatively.

"Tell me."

“When I came to pick you up just now, Elva, also known as Xiao Yaxuan, told me that you are his idol, both in film and television and in singing.

That's why her heart starts pounding when she sees you.

Especially when she watched the movie "Departures" starring you, she felt speechless because of your acting skills. You in the movie were not acting at all, but clearly in real life."

"So what?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"Elva said that if she fails one, two, three or four lines in a scene with you, you should not get angry and should give in to her. Because if you get angry, she might not be able to act anymore." At this time, King Liu had already driven the Toyota Alpha to the vicinity of the filming site. He parked the car and pulled the handbrake, then turned to Jiang Feng and said, "Brother Feng, please help the crew take care of the newcomers."

"Ok, no problem!"

After agreeing, Jiang Feng pushed the door and got out of the car. When he got out of the car, he did not forget to turn around and put on the black leather jacket.

This is how actors work. They perform winter plays in summer and summer plays in winter. It's all very normal.

...

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

"Brother Feng, thank you for your hard work!"

"Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to come from the mainland so quickly. We were just chatting with the director. It's already great that you can arrive at the crew at 7 o'clock in the evening."

"Brother Feng, the makeup is really good, especially the fine lines at the corners of the eyes, they look just like the real thing."

After getting out of the car, Jiang Feng walked to the junction of Jingfu Street and Ningyuan Street. Along the way, all the staff members of the "Infernal Affairs" crew greeted him.

Jiang Feng basically didn't know these people.

So he could only put his hands together and keep greeting everyone.

This is how you deal with people. If someone treats you with courtesy, you should return the favor! Instead of turning a deaf ear to them, as if their smiles are their due.

Jiang Feng walked very quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of McDonald's, where he met director Liu Weiqiang.

"Brother Feng, here I come!"

"Here I come, Director."

Jiang Feng smiled at Liu Weiqiang and said, "Director, I'm going to take a few days off to record a music album. I'm sorry that I might have wasted everyone's time.

How about this, I'll treat the crew to dinner tonight?"

"Okay."

Before Liu Weiqiang could speak, Mai Zhaohui, who had previously interacted with Jiang Feng because of the script deal, stood up with a smile, then raised his arms and waved them in the air.

"I have good news for everyone. Brother Feng will treat you to dinner today..."

"Ooooooooo..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Before the old man had even finished his words, there was a cheer at the filming site, and many crew members high-fived to celebrate.

After filming this scene, everyone will have dinner.

Director Liu Weiqiang just said that the crew does not have enough funds and we are filming in front of McDonald's, so we will have McDonald's for dinner today.

No one is happy to eat at McDonald's.

This thing is something that children like to eat.

Now, hearing that a wealthy man was inviting them to dinner, everyone was naturally happy. Even the staff who were lazily setting up the shooting scene started to speed up at this moment.

I have a night scene to shoot tonight, so I can save some time and eat more during dinner.

Amidst everyone's cheers, a beautiful young girl came over and stood in front of Jiang Feng, saying shyly:
"Hello Brother Feng, I'm Xiao Yaxuan!"

"Well, I know you."

Jiang Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to her.

"On August 8, before I returned to the mainland, we met at Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po."

"Yes, Brother Feng, you have a great memory!" At this time, Xiao Yaxuan's face became even redder.

"Brother Feng, you know, I haven't acted in many movies before. At most, I have filmed music videos for songs. Therefore, I may not have enough experience in acting..."

"Um…"

Jiang Feng frowned as he looked at Xiao Yaxuan whose voice became lower and lower as she spoke. To be honest, in her current state, she probably wouldn't pass the scene even if she shot 10 or 8 takes, let alone taking it in one take.

It's very simple. First, her current state is not right; second, she has no acting experience and cannot be like Zhang Manyu. Even if my state is not right, I can still pull off the scene with my acting skills.

"How to do?"

Liu Weiqiang is a very experienced director. Naturally, he saw what Jiang Feng saw. So, the old man stood up and walked over, nudging Jiang Feng with his elbow, trying to ask for his opinion.

"Can we replace Zhang Manyu?" Jiang Feng asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Liu Weiqiang answered in the affirmative.

"Brother Feng, let's not talk about anything else. As long as you can reduce your salary by 200 million Hong Kong dollars, I will call Maggie right away."

grass…

Jiang Feng wanted to swear immediately.

How shameless of you! I took this role at a friendship price, and now you want to cut the price further. That's not how you behave as a human being.

"Well, Director, give me 5 minutes."

Jiang Feng thought briefly, then took the initiative to walk towards Xiao Yaxuan, pointed to the cold drink shop next to McDonald's and said:
"Elva, can I invite you to have a cold drink on the street?"

"Okay!"

Xiao Yaxuan was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng actually called me by my English name, but how did he know my English name? Did he ask someone else about me?

"Elva, what do you want to drink? Coke, milk tea, or freshly squeezed watermelon juice?"

"Oh, I'm fine with anything."

Xiao Yaxuan smiled brightly again.

Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng called me by my English name again. You should know that only my best friends, elders and boyfriend can call me by my English name.

Jiang Feng is neither a best friend nor an elder, so he is obviously a boyfriend.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yaxuan looked up and wanted to sneak a few glances at Jiang Feng, but as soon as she raised her head, she was stunned.

Because at this moment, someone kissed her mouth very domineeringly.

Uh…

Jiang Feng not only kissed her, but also hugged her waist very domineeringly, and then put his other hand around her back.

What's happening here?
Did they shoot the kissing scene in advance?

But..., but, I remember there seemed to be no kissing scene in the script?! Then, why did Jiang Feng kiss himself?

Xiao Yaxuan was thinking, when suddenly, Jiang Feng separated from her.

"Elva, don't get me wrong. The reason I suddenly kissed you was actually because it was necessary for filming."
