Chapter 662 Chapter 661, dead Taoist friends will not die poor Taoists
On September 9st, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" finished work a little late, and Jiang Feng did not come out from the filming site until 1 o'clock in the evening!
It was originally agreed that Wang Fei would come to pick him up, and then the two of them would go to the night market in Temple Street near the filming site.

But in fact, after work, Jiang Feng only received a text message from Wang Fei on his mobile phone.

[Afeng, Jialing has a party at her house tonight, so I won't accompany you for dinner or shopping. You can handle it yourself.

Also, you have to sleep alone at night.

I guess this mahjong game involving me, Liu Jialing, Zhang Guorong, and Lin Qingxia will not end until the early morning. Well, just wait for the good news that I beat all three of them, roo roo roo!!!]

Seeing the text message sent by Wang Fei, Jiang Feng smiled and was about to close the phone and put it in his pocket. He had already gotten used to it. Wang Fei was a playful person.

It was basically impossible to tie her up at home, so Jiang Feng just let her be.

In Wang Fei’s own words, life is short, so enjoy it while you can!
However, just when Jiang Feng was about to close his phone, he discovered that someone had sent him several text messages before.

[Brother Feng, this is Luo Lin. I wanted to call you to tell you the good news, but I was afraid that you were filming, so I’ll just send you a text message to tell you the good news.

国家电视台播放《2002年第1场雪》MV的时间是18:53，而我是19:10去的我们家附近的音像店，这家音像店老板，一共进了我的500张CD和200盘磁带。

I saw it with my own eyes. In just one hour, this music store sold 175 CDs and 65 tapes.

Brother Feng, thank you very much!

Well, what I said before is still valid. If one copy of this album is sold, you will get one dollar. 】

When Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the car, saw Dao Lang's text message, he waved his fist.

In my previous life, I only knew that the music album "The First Snow of 2002" was awesome. Without any publicity, it sold 4 million copies in 270 months. If piracy was included, some media said that the total sales of this album exceeded 2000 million copies.

If you have no idea about this sales volume, let's make a comparison. Jay Chou's music album "Qilixiang", which was released at the same time, sold only 32 copies.

After being happy for a while, Jiang Feng replied to Dao Lang.

[Brother Dao, congratulations!]

[Brother Dao, don't mention money anymore. I'll get angry if you mention it again. Well, if you really want to thank me, when I have time to go to the Frontier Province, you can treat me to a good meal of hand-pulled mutton.

I'm in my 20s and I've never tasted that stuff. ]

After replying the text message, Jiang Feng continued to read the text messages from other people.

[Brother Feng, I'm Chen Xi. I just heard that someone has forcibly linked you to the Zeng Zhiwei incident that is currently happening. Well, it is rumored that these two people are two very famous film directors in the Beijing circle.]

[Brother Feng, there is something I just heard. It is said that there are two very famous directors in the Beijing circle who actually linked you and Zeng Zhiwei's affairs together.

I don’t know if this rumor will cause you any trouble. 】

[Jiang Feng, tell the teacher the truth, does the Zeng Zhiwei incident have nothing to do with you? If not, I will go find them now.

Don't talk nonsense without evidence.

You know, this kind of rumor can easily lead to death. 】

Many people sent text messages, including Chen Xi, Huang Bo, Cui Xinqin, Xu Jinglei, Fan Jiuyi, Gao Yuanyuan, Yu Feihong, etc. They are all insiders and are naturally well-informed.

So they immediately sent a text message to Jiang Feng to report the news. Even Cui Xinqin was furious in the text message, saying that she would do anything to help her students get justice.

To be honest, Jiang Feng was a little touched when he saw this. After all, these people really cared about him.

Of course, it's also a bit funny.

Even such a small problem made them feel like they were facing a great enemy, and they thought that their buddy could not handle such a complicated situation.

Haha..., this is just the beginning!

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng took out a mobile phone that he rarely used from under the seat, then took out a brand new phone card and put it into the phone, then sent a text message to Luo Zhaohui.

[Mr. Luo, please fly to Beijing tomorrow and go to Maoer Hutong in Nanluoguxiang. The house number is 13. Go and knock on the door. When someone opens the door and asks you, just say you are looking for Director Chen to discuss the investment of the movie "The Promise".

Well, you want to use HK$1000 million to take a 10% stake in this movie.

If this deal goes through, I will give you the money through the Lisboa Hotel.

[What if Director Chen disagrees? ]

As soon as Jiang Feng sent the text message, Luo Zhaohui's question came up.

[It’s fine if you disagree. I just want to use his film to legalize some of my funds, but if the cost is too high, then it won’t make sense.]

[Mr. Luo, since you need to buy a plane ticket and travel far this time, I will still give you the money at the old place. Of course, I will increase the price to 15 Hong Kong dollars this time.]

[Yes, thank you! ]

[Excuse me, who are you? How dare you think of using me for investment? ]

[This is my last warning. If you ask these silly questions again, our cooperation will end.]

After sending the text message, Jiang Feng turned off the phone, took out the SIM card, broke it into pieces, and threw it out through the car window.

...............

the next day, early morning

Jiang Feng, who was resting at home alone, got up very early and drove to the shooting site at 7 o'clock in the morning, which was the Wanfo Temple on Wanfo Mountain behind Pai Tou Village, Sha Tin District.

Zeng Zhiwei will hold an incense-burning ceremony here, and then let his younger brothers draw lots to decide who will go to the police station as an undercover agent!
Since Jiang Feng did not appear in this scene, he had a rare chance to relax and could stand outside the filming site and watch everyone... especially watch Brother Edison Chen act.

Jiang Feng just thought of Teacher Chen. When he got out of the car, he saw Brother Guan Xi running towards him from a distance and greeted him very politely.

"Brother Feng, good morning!"

"Good morning."

Although Brother Guanxi is two years older, Jiang Feng considers himself to be of the same age as him, so he puts his arm around his shoulders, and then walks into the Wanfo Temple while chatting and laughing.

"Brother Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Do you know? There is a singer named Dao Lang in your mainland who is so sexy that he actually spent millions of RMB to broadcast his music video during the most prime advertising time on national television."

"I checked online before coming here and found that many mainland netizens praised his behavior. People who were fed up with advertisements suddenly saw a song MV during the advertisement period and felt very happy."

"Well, it seems that Universal Music has spoken out. They said that the latest album of the singer Daolang, who they signed, "The First Snow of 2002", sold more than 1 copies yesterday alone."

Brother Edison, a 22-year-old young man, was extremely excited when talking about this, because he had never seen a singer dare to play like this.

The key is that the effect of playing it this way was surprisingly good. In just one day, the album sales exceeded 40 copies.

"Well, Brother Edison, I can guarantee that you have definitely not watched the MV of that song." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Teacher Chen felt magical at this moment.

"It's simple. Wang Fei and I are the main actors in that MV."

"Ah, really?" Teacher Chen had an expression of disbelief.

"Of course!

The Daolang you mentioned is my good friend. If you really appreciate his songs, I'll introduce you two to each other some other time.

See if he can help you write a song or something."

Daolang is a very talented all-around singer who can write lyrics, compose music, and play various instruments. If Teacher Chen really invites him to sing a song, maybe he can really make Teacher Chen famous in the music industry. "Really?" Teacher Chen was a little excited.

Because the song "The First Snow of 2002" is so popular, this morning, when Edison Chen was passing by Causeway Bay on his way home, he bought a CD and listened to it in the car.

You don’t know if you don’t hear it, but you will be shocked when you hear it.

The best song in this album is not "The First Snow of 2002", but a song called "Punishment for Impulse".

"Punishment for Impulse" really touched Mr. Chen's heart, because he identified with the artistic conception of the song from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course it's true."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the main hall of Wanfo Temple.

The main hall of the Wanfo Temple was solemn and dignified, with a lot of incense. The monks in the temple were performing morning prayers inside. Therefore, Jiang Feng could hear the sounds of chanting and beating wooden fish from quite far away.

In front of the Main Hall, many staff members of the "Infernal Affairs" crew were assembling props, circular tracks, and adjusting lighting equipment and cameras in an orderly manner.

Everyone waited for the monks' morning lessons to finish, and then went into the Main Hall to take pictures.

Since Teacher Chen was the main character of this scene, as soon as he arrived at the Main Hall, he sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the Weituo Hall and let the makeup artist Lei Shuxian work on his face.

Everybody is busy.

Jiang Feng had some free time, so he decided to take a walk around the area, visit the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, and see the differences between the temples on Hong Kong Island and those in the mainland.

Wait until the filming starts.

But as soon as Jiang Feng arrived at the west side hall, director Liu Weiqiang quickly followed.

"Brother Feng..."

"Good morning, director!"

"Good morning, Brother Feng. I calculated carefully that our film will be finished around September 9th, and will be released during the National Day holiday."

"Oh!"

Jiang Feng responded, turned to look at him, and said nothing.

"Hehe..." At this time, Liu Wei Qiang smiled embarrassedly.

"I just want to ask, if the filming is over and the crew is disbanded, can Lao Zeng's popularity still be maintained until the movie is released?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Um…"

Looking around, front and back, he saw that the monks had all gone to the morning class, and there were indeed not many people in the west side hall, so Liu Weiqiang lowered his voice and said, "Brother Feng, we have been working together for more than 20 days.

I know who you are, and you also know who I am. I have a lot of reliable gossip about Lao Zeng.

If anyone can use it, I can give it to him for free.”

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
Looking at Liu Weiqiang, Jiang Feng's mind suddenly popped up this classic saying.

I just want my movies to sell well. As for whether you live or die, it really has nothing to do with me. As for friendship, friendship between friends, and friendship between fellow townsmen, hehe..., they are all dregs in front of actual interests.

"Hehe..., Brother Feng, I know you may look down on me for saying this, after all, Lao Zeng and I are pretty familiar with each other.

Stabbing a friend in the back at a critical moment is really not the style of a gentleman.

However, Lao Zeng's reputation has become so bad that there seems to be no difference between 10 people standing up to accuse and scold him and 100 people standing up to accuse and scold him.

Well, and I really envy you. Just by giving away eggs when watching a movie, your movie’s box office in mainland China exceeded 18 billion RMB.

But I can’t do it, and neither can Hong Kong movies…

Both I and Hong Kong films need this success!"

Liu Weiqiang wanted to continue talking about the reason which seemed very high-sounding, but he was stopped by Jiang Feng.

"Director, I understand what you mean!
I don't have the slightest thought of looking down on you. After all, I am the same as you are now. I want to succeed. Anyone who stands in my way should either get out or be kicked out by me.

The reason why I didn't say anything just now was because I was thinking, did you find the wrong person for this matter? "

I found the wrong person...how is that possible?

According to my intuition, there is at least a 50% chance that Lao Zeng is so unlucky because of your mischief.

But as soon as Liu Weiqiang thought of this, he realized it instantly, then slapped his thigh, turned around and walked out of the west side hall.

Damn it, I almost forgot that the person who is now facing off against Lao Zeng is Luo Zhaohui, the former real estate prodigy.

No one knows what’s wrong with this real estate prodigy. He no longer tells the media about his previous gossips with the actresses, but chooses to confront Lao Zeng directly.

There is a small revelation every 3 days and a big revelation every 5 days, and they keep biting Zeng Zhiwei and refuse to let go.

Now I have told the news to Luo Zhaohui, and he can definitely help me maintain this popularity until National Day.

Thinking of this, Liu Weiqiang, who came out of the west side hall, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found a phone number and dialed it.

“Zhu Pi, I’m Liu Weiqiang, I’m warning you.

Zeng Zhiwei has always been my friend. You must never sell the photos you gave me before of him making sexual advances towards beautiful girls to Luo Zhaohui.

How about this, I'll give you 1 Hong Kong dollars, and you have to make sure the photos in your hands remain in your hands, and don't give them to anyone else."

But before Liu Weiqiang could finish his words, the other party on the other end of the phone kept complaining.

"Director Liu, I know you are a good person and you don't want your friend Zeng Zhiwei to continue to be besieged like this, but who can guarantee that the written materials and photos I have are not available to other reporters?"

"Well, okay, just take care of yourself, I'll still give you the money."

When Liu Weiqiang reached this point in his conversation, the two of them chuckled at the same time and hung up the phone at the same time.

That's what smart people do.

Sometimes you need to say something in a sarcastic way, and sometimes you need to say something in a positive way. However, just as Liu Weiqiang was about to put his phone in his pocket, a text message came on his phone.

[Director Liu, I forgot to tell you just now that I am at the airport right now, preparing to follow Luo Zhaohui to the mainland.

Someone has said before that Luo Zhaohui, a bankrupt man, would do anything for money, even himself; and if no one gave him money, this old guy would choose to lie down at home.

Because I get hungry if I move.

But now, Director Liu, you have also seen that Luo Zhaohui is actually holding on to Zeng Zhiwei, so some people speculate that someone must have instructed him to do this.

Now, as expected, the fox's tail has been revealed.

So we decided to follow him to see who would meet him? And what kind of feud did the person who met Luo Zhaohui have with Zeng Zhiwei? 】

groove…

After reading the text message, Liu Weiqiang wanted to laugh out loud.

Wow, it seems like this show is getting more and more exciting.
