Entertainment 1998

Chapter 673 672, Director Jiang, I want to be the first
Regarding the movie "Infernal Affairs", Jiang Feng is neither an investor nor a director. He is just an actor who was temporarily hired to cover for the role, so he does not have absolute say.

Liu Weiqiang sent a text message to let him know. Actually, it was just to say hello and express respect because Jiang Feng is currently a big star.

As for Jiang Feng's opinion, he didn't even ask.

Since Liu Weiqiang didn't ask, Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

"Infernal Affairs", you guys can release your own movie, and I will at most not make any trouble when it is released. Such an incredible method of "using young people protesting in the streets to divert the topic" can make this movie the headlines of world news overnight. Um..., I really don't want to give you a bargain? !
Speaking of Media Asia Films, boss Lam Kin-yueh is not completely useless when it comes to film promotion.

The next day, Jiang Feng got up and walked out of the room. He was about to go downstairs for a run, when he saw Lee Jae-yong with a smirk on his face in the elevator. The guy was also wearing a sports suit.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Is there a sequel to your movie 'The Departed'?" Lee Jae-yong asked.

"No."

As soon as these three words came out of his mouth, Jiang Feng knew what Lee Jae-yong was asking. If nothing unexpected happened, when the movie "Infernal Affairs" was promoted in South Korea, the slogan used must be the sequel to "The Departed", and the sequel of this movie was starred by Jiang Feng, the screenwriter and director of "The Departed" himself.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lee Jae-yong laughed slyly.

"Jiang Feng, are you having any conflicts with Media Asia Film Company in Hong Kong? Well, I think it must be the case. Today, the movie "Infernal Affairs" was released, and as the absolute leading actor, you didn't even go to Hong Kong Island to attend the premiere."

wipe…

In the elevator, Jiang Feng almost swore. Lee Jae-yong was obviously the successor of a Fortune 500 company, but at this moment, he acted like an old lady squatting on the street talking about celebrity gossip.

Well, no wonder Samsung died at the hands of this guy.

After complaining secretly, Jiang Feng and Li Jae-yong went to the first floor. For privacy and safety reasons, they did not walk through the hotel lobby, but left the hotel through the VIP channel and went for a morning jog on the street.

The reason for this is that at this moment, many entertainment reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel.

Jiang Feng, a world-class singer and world-class film director, came to Korea to film a movie, and signed two local Korean actors on the first day. As a local entertainment media, we naturally had to follow up and interview him.

And this is not the main purpose of these entertainment reporters coming here. The point is that at 9 o'clock last night, a well-known person in the circle revealed to multiple media that the most beautiful and sexiest female singers and actresses in South Korea, one by one, are gathered at the Ulsan Marriott Hotel to be inspected by Jiang Feng, the king of Asian music and famous Hollywood film director.

No one believed the news at first. No matter how awesome Jiang Feng was, he could only fight one against two or three. I didn't believe he could fight one against fifty.
All the most beautiful and sexiest female singers and actresses in Korea went there... Bah, you are saying such big things, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?

However, when a netizen uploaded several photos on the Korean version of Yahoo News at 11 o'clock in the evening, everyone believed it.

[At 7pm, when entering the hotel, the tall and famous actress Choi Ji-woo was so happy that she was about to fly; when she came out at 10:45pm, she was staggering, and her proud long legs were even turned outward, and she struggled to move outside the hotel...]

As soon as the six comparison photos came out, many Korean entertainment reporters could no longer sit still. Even though it was already midnight, they drove over from Seoul in order to interview Jiang Feng as soon as possible.

Director Jiang Feng, I heard that Ms. Choi Ji-woo stayed in your room for 3 hours last night. After she went out, she couldn't even walk. What did you two do at night?
...

In fact, regarding this question, not only the entertainment reporters who rushed over overnight were curious, but Lee Jae-yong, who was wearing a black sportswear, was also curious.

The two were running on the sidewalk of the street, escorted by more than twenty bodyguards, and the curious Lee Jae-yong asked the question bluntly.

"Jiang Feng, what did you eat last night? Um, or did you spray something?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng looked at him puzzled.

"When I woke up this morning, I went online and saw that netizens were saying that Choi Ji-woo, who left your room at 11 o'clock last night, can't even walk.

I just want to ask what have you eaten?
Or what did he use to become so powerful?"

grass…

So you asked this.

My buddy is a very awesome person, and he is the kind that will be recorded in history books because of his special talents in some areas.

But Jiang Feng's eyes rolled around and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Li, have you ever seen a donkey?"

"donkey…"

When he heard the word "animal", Lee Jae-yong frowned slightly, and then nodded.

Although this kind of animal is rare in Korea, he has seen it. When he went to the countryside with his father that year, he saw the animal in a farmer's house. It is said that the meat of the animal is delicious, and the donkey skin can be made into donkey-hide gelatin.

However, as soon as Li Zaiyong thought of this, his eyes widened immediately. While running, he pointed at Jiang Feng and said, "Jiang Feng, are you talking about the one on the donkey..."

"Hehe, that's right!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Boss Li, that thing is very nutritious. If you take one every night, you will know how effective it is."

Having said that, without further delay, he reached out and patted Lee Jae-yong on the shoulder, then Jiang Feng quickly ran forward.

Lee Jae-yong looks very strong, but actually his physical fitness is not good at all. After the two ran side by side for about 1 kilometer, he started to pant.

If I run another kilometer with him, it will probably be awkward for both of us.

Why are you so weak?
How come you are so strong?

After getting rid of Lee Jae-yong, Jiang Feng's morning exercise went much more smoothly. He went out for a run at 6 o'clock in the morning, and returned to the Ulsan Marriott Hotel on time at 7 o'clock.

I thought Lee Jae-yong would leave early, but unexpectedly, he was still in the hotel.

Not only that, this old man also asked Son Ye-jin to go downstairs and invited Jiang Feng to have breakfast together.

After returning to the hotel and taking a shower, Jiang Feng followed Son Ye-jin to Lee Jae-yong's room upstairs. However, Son Ye-jin did not go in. She just sent Jiang Feng to the door and stopped, then went outside and closed the door.

In this way, Jiang Feng and Lee Jae-yong were the only ones sitting face to face in the dining room of the large presidential suite.

"Well, don't get me wrong!"

Seeing Jiang Feng's confusion, Lee Jae-yong, who was sitting at the dining table eating steak, put down the knife and fork in his hands.

"Jiang Feng, we will soon be busy with our own things.

Before we part, I just want to talk to you about something. To be more precise, I want to hear your opinion because you are really good at film marketing. "At this point, Lee Jae-yong picked up a blue folder from his right hand, opened it, and began to read:
"Strategy Analytics, one of the mobile industry market research institutions, released a survey report on the 18th, saying that in the first half of 2002, Finland's Nokia slightly increased its leading position in the global mobile phone market, with an increase of 2.4%. The report said that Nokia sold a total of 2002 million mobile phones to end users around the world in the first half of 2, while the number for the whole year of 22 was 2001 million.

In terms of shipments to retailers and operators, Nokia's market share in the first half of 2002 was 36.1%, compared to 35.6% the year before. Its US rival Motorola's market share increased from 14.9% to 16.8%, further narrowing the gap with Nokia.

Sony Ericsson ended its declining market share in the first half of 2002 and ranked fifth. Its market share in the second quarter increased from 4.9 in the first quarter to 5.5%, but was still lower than 7.1% in the previous year.

The third place is Samsung of South Korea, which is our company. It is the fastest growing handheld device manufacturer in the world in the first half of 2002. Its market share increased from 2002% in 2001 to 7.3% in the first half of 10.1..."

Having said this, Lee Jae-yong stopped, closed the blue folder and looked at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, I want to be number one in the world!

Maybe it won’t work this year, but next year I must be the world’s number one, brother, do you have a solution?”

"no!"

Jiang Feng replied straightforwardly.

Basically, the first time Lee Jae-yong asked a question, Jiang Feng gave him an answer.

"Next year, Samsung will hire you as the global spokesperson for Samsung mobile phones, with an annual endorsement fee starting at 400 million US dollars."

"Well, Mr. Li, this is not about the money. This is taking too big a step. You were ranked third in the first half of this year, and your market share was only 10%, which is not even half of the market share of Nokia, the number one. Even if a god came, it is impossible for Samsung to become the number one in the world." Faced with the temptation of an annual endorsement fee of 400 million US dollars, Jiang Feng still refused.

"Um…"

Seeing that Jiang Feng was unmoved, Li Zaiyong took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then said: "Jiang Feng, I asked someone to check it out. It seems that you have a company in Dongguan called Damai Technology. The legal representative is your sister, but you have a 90% controlling stake.

The main business of this company is to assemble mobile phones for your domestic Kejian mobile phones.

Jiang Feng, let's do this now. If you can give me an idea to make Nokia less aggressive next year, I will let your company assemble mobile phones for Samsung. Well, I 100% guarantee that I will let you produce as many Samsung mobile phones as your company's production capacity next year."

Jiang Feng was moved by this.

Although I have some money now, it is impossible for me to always be the cash cow of Damai Technology and keep injecting blood into it.

Now we must first ensure that the company is profitable, and then invest huge amounts of money in research and development based on the profitability.

If you want to make a profit at the moment, manufacturing mobile phones for Samsung is a good idea.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng stopped eating, took out the napkin next to him, wiped his mouth, and said: "Mr. Li, the movie I will shoot next is called "The Yellow Sea". The main content is about Jin Jiunan, a member of the Yanji Dynasty, who borrowed money to send his wife to work in South Korea, but there was no news of his wife after working for several years.

Since Jin Jiunan had borrowed money from a loan shark at the time, when the repayment deadline came, the lender gave him two options.

Either pay me back or go to Korea and kill someone for me.

So, the male protagonist, Kim Jiu-nam, came to Korea..."

Lee Jae-yong, who was sitting across from the table, was not in a hurry. He just held his glass of red wine and listened quietly to Jiang Feng's speech.

"The male protagonist wanted to kill the lawyer. As the screenwriter, I helped him think of several ways. One was to buy a gun from the black market and kill him with one shot; the other was for the male protagonist to follow behind the lawyer and suddenly step forward and strangle him to death with a rope...

The last method is more difficult. The lawyer's cell phone was broken, so he took it to a street shop to get it repaired. Jin Jiunan had learned cell phone repair technology in Yanji, so he deliberately created a short circuit in the cell phone battery while repairing it.

After the phone was repaired, the lawyer picked it up and put it to his ear to make a call. Then he heard a bang and the phone exploded. Then half of the lawyer's face was blown off. It was a horrible sight."

"Haha, this is impossible..."

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Li Zaiyong shook his head confidently, but he had only said four words when an unusual look of excitement appeared on his face.

Damn..., you're awesome!

Hong Kong Island, Yau Ma Tei Cinema
Tony Leung Ka Fai came to watch a movie.

"Infernal Affairs" starring Jiang Feng and Andy Lau.

Speaking of which, this movie is really awesome.

Before filming even started, its remake, "The Departed," had already grossed over 6 million U.S. dollars worldwide. Now, the box office seems to have reached 8.4 million U.S. dollars, setting a global box office record for Chinese film directors.

Therefore, many netizens on the Internet who did not know the inside story even thought that it was a Hollywood movie remake of "Infernal Affairs" called "The Departed".

And things became even more exciting after the filming of "Infernal Affairs" began.

Just like a script, Apple Daily first revealed that Zeng Zhiwei was the mastermind behind the "Liu Jialing kidnapping incident";

Then, Lan Jieying, Yu Qianwen, Han Yi, Xiang Tai and other film and television celebrities criticized Zeng Zhiwei, saying that he was vulgar and obscene. Then, the former real estate prodigy Luo Zhaohui and the famous mainland film director Chen Kaige also personally came out...

It’s lively, and the movie “Infernal Affairs” has a high exposure!
It is said that before the film was completed, the distribution rights had already been sold throughout East Asia, and the investment of 2200 million Hong Kong dollars had been recovered in Japan and South Korea alone.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cinema, Liang Jiahui was thinking, when he suddenly saw a few acquaintances. These acquaintances were standing next to the [10-second challenge device] and preparing to challenge 10 seconds.

Well, this is an idea that Jiang Feng pioneered in cinemas around the world, and it is now also used by the crew of the movie "Infernal Affairs".

In a word, as long as you succeed in the challenge, not only can you watch the movie for free, but you will also get popcorn and drinks worth ten Hong Kong dollars.

"Wow, brother, you are awesome!"

"Zhang Guorong, awesome!"

"Sister Mei, it's your turn. It's your turn."

Zhang Guorong succeeded in the challenge, and when he took the photo, the timer showed exactly 10 seconds, so he was very excited and kept hugging his friends around him.

These friends or girlfriends include Anita Mui, Liu Jialing, Lin Qingxia, Zhou Xingxing, and Wang Zuxian.

Hey..., Wang Zuxian is back in Hong Kong Island. Hasn't she settled in Toronto, Canada? It is said that she gave birth to a son for Jiang Feng, but why is she back now?
Liang Jiahui was wondering when he suddenly saw Zhang Guorong waving at him.

"Jiahui, you came to watch the movie too.

Well, when are you going to the Northeast? Tomorrow morning or the day after tomorrow? The film "Yellow Sea" will officially start shooting in Yanji on National Day. I think we should go a few days earlier?"
