Entertainment 1998

Chapter 693 Chapter 692, [Huang Hai] Finished

Jiang Feng's fame has gradually risen not only in the domestic film and television industry, but also in Japan and South Korea.

Specifically, during the filming period in South Korea, Korean film and television celebrities came to visit the set from time to time, such as Kwon Sang-woo, Jang Dong-gun, Kim Nam-joo, Jun Ji-hyun, and Chae Rim, etc.

These Korean actors came to the crew, said thank you for your hard work while everyone was transitioning, and then presented gifts.

The gifts are a bit extensive.

There were all kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities. For example, Choi Lin, a Korean actress who became famous in China for the TV series "Falling in Love with the Female Anchor", even brought two massage chairs to the crew, saying that when director Jiang Feng was busy, he could sit down and have a massage.

However, no one expected that when the filming of the movie "The Yellow Sea" was nearing its end, the international Kung Fu superstar Qing Long actually showed up.

After arriving, he started working as a handyman in the crew without saying a word.

Well, it’s really a small job.

Seeing that everyone was thirsty, he went to buy water; seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he and the crew's chef Zhao Laonian cooked for everyone...

Seeing Qinglong like this, Cheng Xiaodong, who was also from Hong Kong Island, wanted to invite him to design martial arts moves for actors Tony Leung Ka Fai, Leslie Cheung, and Wong Ching-min. The old man also accepted the invitation.

Anyway, in one sentence, in the crew of "Yellow Sea", I will do whatever you ask me to do!
At the beginning, the crew members led by Dawei, Liu Jie, Zhuang Kai, Shi Guanghui and Mark were not quite used to it.

Now, although we are doing well following Boss Jiang Feng, we are not yet so powerful that we can order the international Kung Fu superstar Qing Long to do things at will. But after a long time, everyone will let go.

"Brother, please help me carry the camera equipment. I need to carry the camera."

"Brother, please help me put away the HMI light. The reflector is too big. The two of us need to get it onto the car first."

"Brother, please help me find Mr. Li Xing. We have been shooting in this building for two days. The landlord wants to pay the rent. It seems to be 210 million won."

Faced with everyone's casual orders, Qinglong was not angry at all. Instead, he happily did the work at the first opportunity.

Such a cooperative attitude not only surprised the crew and actors, but also shocked the Korean entertainment media. As soon as they took the picture of Qin Longwo working as a handyman in the "Yellow Sea" crew, they uploaded it to the Internet.

[Jiang Feng's position in the industry is becoming more and more solid, and the international Kung Fu superstar Qin Long is happy to work for him. ]

Once this news was released, it was reprinted by Hong Kong media and mainland media, causing an uproar on the Internet.

In particular, the mainland media and the Hong Kong media were divided into two distinct factions.

Hong Kong media criticized Jiang Feng for not respecting his predecessors and treating a superstar as a small worker. You should know that you were not born when Brother Qinglong made the movie.
The mainland media was jubilant. Hong Kong film and television circles, please lower your proud heads. Now it is the market and strength that determine everything. If you don’t believe me, just look at Brother Qinlong…

If you still think you are awesome, please make a movie that grosses 9.1 million U.S. dollars worldwide.

A movie with a box office of 18.2 billion RMB was also successful.

Fortunately, since "The Yellow Sea" is currently being filmed in South Korea, there are not many mainland and Hong Kong media coming to interview this matter, so it did not disturb the work of the crew.

Therefore, after another 10 days of intense filming, on the morning of December 12, the crew of "The Yellow Sea" finally welcomed the filming of the last scene...

"Brother Hui, how are the preparations going?"

"OK!"

"Great..."

For the last scene, Jiang Feng was not going to invite local Korean extras, but instead sent all the idle staff members in the crew to the scene. After all, they were all young people and everyone could fight and kill.

What's more, there are two Kung Fu masters, Cheng Xiaodong and Qing Long, in the crew as martial arts instructors, so the filming should not be a problem.

As soon as Jiang Feng called out "Dawei", the eight crew members headed by "Dawei" all made an OK gesture to Jiang Feng.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Jiang Feng nodded to Qing Long who was holding the clapperboard in his hand. Qing Long understood and immediately raised the clapperboard.

"Action!"

Liang Jiahui was sleeping soundly on the small bed wrapped in a blanket.

He was woken up by a faint sound coming from outside the door. He looked towards the door and saw nothing unusual. But when he was about to continue sleeping, he seemed to hear a scream outside.

"what!"

Liang Jiahui woke up in shock and sat up to investigate the situation. Just as he reached the door, he turned back and picked up a bone stick from the ground as a weapon.

Liang Jiahui raised the bone stick and pressed it against the wall beside the door. The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Suddenly, two people broke the door and fell to the ground. One of them was holding a knife and stabbing Huang Bo under him. Liang Jiahui quietly approached and swung the bone stick to smash the man's head, splashing blood all over him.
Turning around, he saw another man with a knife rushing towards him. Liang Jiahui knocked the man down with a bone stick, and then hit him on the head. He picked up the knife on the ground and walked out of the bedroom door;

Several people were fighting outside the bedroom door. One of them stabbed him with a knife. Liang Jiahui subdued him to the ground. Before he could stand up, another guy rushed over and stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a knife. Liang Jiahui grabbed the knife and pushed the man aside. When the knife was pulled out, his blood spurted out.
The guy stood up and attacked again. Liang Jiahui was hugged by him and thrown to the second-floor window. The entire glass window was smashed by the two of them. Liang Jiahui wrapped his legs around the guy on the ground and cut his neck with a knife.

Liang Jiahui stood up, holding his lower abdomen, picked up the bone stick, and knocked down another guy who was still alive. Seeing that there was no one alive in the house, he walked down the stairs.

……

"OK, passed!"

Jiang Feng filmed this brutal fight in one take, with three cameras following Liang Jiahui the whole time.

And Tony Leung Ka Fai is worthy of being China's multi-faceted actor. His performance rhythm, micro-expression control, and martial arts movements were all on point at this moment, and the entire filming process was done in one go.

When he heard Jiang Feng shout "passed", the old man, covered in blood, sat down on the floor.

"Brother Feng..."

"Ok?"

“Is it really over?”

"What's the matter, Brother Hui, do you want to shoot another take?" Taking off his headphones, Jiang Feng stared at the playback through the screen on the director's monitor while chatting and joking with Liang Jiahui through the intercom.

“No more filming!

What I mean by asking you this is that if it really happened, I'm happy; if you still want me to give you one or something, well, I'm sorry, I can only give it to you tomorrow.

This shot today took all my energy.”

"Ha ha…"

When Liang Jiahui said this, many people burst into laughter. Brother Hui was really fooled by the director.

In the crew, other actors passed or failed when filming, but Liang Jiahui became a different person from the other actors from the day the crew came to Korea.

When Liang Jiahui is filming, Jiang Feng always passes the first one, because his acting is really good; but then, Jiang Feng, as the director, always asks him to give him one or two more for various reasons...

In Jiang Feng's words, this would also allow for a wonderful comparison.

So, during the crew’s last scene, even when Jiang Feng shouted “Done”, everyone from Tony Leung Ka Fai to the ordinary crew members were still waiting.

At this time, Jiang Feng finally finished watching the replay again.

"I declare that the film "The Yellow Sea" has officially finished filming!"

"Ooooooooo..."

"Brother Feng, I love you."

"Brother Feng, that's awesome. We agreed to finish the shoot at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, but it's only eleven now."

"Brother Feng, how are we going to hold the wrap party? There isn't even a mature restaurant here, and our crew still has to rely on Teacher Zhao to cook for us."

Hearing everyone's shouts, Jiang Feng stood up from the director's chair and clapped his hands.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Just now I heard someone ask, how will the wrap-up party be held?

This time, the wrap-up party will not be held!
Each person will receive a subsidy of 15 won. You can eat out however you like and have fun however you like, as long as you don’t miss your flight back to Beijing tomorrow morning.”

"Yes!

Thank you, Brother Feng!"

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, a uniform response rang out at the filming site.

Damn...you guys are just waiting for me to pay you to let you move around freely today!

…………

Jindingxuan

A famous Chinese restaurant in Seoul, located in the renowned Gangnam district, its specialty is Beijing roast duck, supplemented by Sichuan cuisine. Basically, business people or diplomats from China like to use this restaurant as a place for business reception.

Speaking of South Korea, although Jiang Feng has been filming here for more than a month, he is still not as familiar with the place as Qing Long. For example, the restaurant Jindingxuan was found by this guy.

Of course, Jiang Feng was the one who treated the guests. After all, he had been busy with the crew for 10 days, so he had to be treated to a meal.

Everyone arrived at 12:30 noon. Although it was a bit late, because they had made a reservation in advance, Jiang Feng, Ying Long, Liang Jiahui, Li Xing, Zhang Guorong, Zhao Laonian, Li Lianhua, Cheng Xiaodong and others were taken to a private room by the waiters to sit down as soon as they arrived.

Less than 5 minutes after everyone sat down, before Qing Long even had time to ask Jiang Feng and Zhao Laonian what kind of wine they would like to drink, a wide variety of delicious meals were served one by one.

Beijing roast duck, Dongpo pork elbow, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, twice-cooked pork, boiled cabbage, Geleshan spicy chicken...

Along with the main dishes came wine, which came in two types. One was Wuliangye, which was already available in this Chinese restaurant because business banquets were held here, so this wine was a must.

The other type is red wine. The grade of the red wine is not too high, but it is okay. It is the Changyu Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine from the mainland.

Looking at Wuliangye and then at Changyu Cabernet Sauvignon, Jiang Feng didn't even need to ask for permission, as Liang Jiahui, Zhang Guorong, Li Xing and Li Lianhua bought all three bottles of red wine.

The rest of the people can only drink white wine.

Among those who drink white wine, Qing Long is the oldest, born in 1954; however, judging by his appearance, Zhao Laonian, born in 1957, is the oldest...

Therefore, today's wine distribution task will be completed by Zhao Laonian.

Zhao Laonian was obviously very familiar with distributing wine. He took a few goblets and placed them side by side. Then he opened the Wuliangye wine and filled the first goblet first, and then the second goblet...

Let me put it this way, with the help of Zhao Laonian's superb wine-dividing technology, the liquor in basically every goblet is a little bit higher than the rim of the glass!

Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiaodong looked bitter, because this kind of goblet is very large, and a cup of white wine weighs almost half a pound.

With my low alcohol tolerance, I can only drink one glass at most.

But before Cheng Xiaodong could finish his words, Jiang Feng spoke first.

"Director Cheng, do you still remember a movie you directed? It was called "The Terracotta Warriors", the male lead was directed by Zhang Yimou, and the female lead was Gong Li."

"Remember, what happened?"

After hearing Jiang Feng talk about this, Cheng Xiaodong no longer had to worry about the problem of drinking.

"The Terracotta Warriors" is my most glorious moment as a film director. Not only did this film receive a very good response and won many awards at home and abroad, but what made me feel very awesome was, what happened to Zhang Yimou?
I once pointed at his nose and scolded him, your performance is shit?! Haha…

Cheng Xiaodong was just feeling happy when he heard Jiang Feng continue, "Director Cheng, I was in Beijing some time ago, recording a song, and I was bored at night, so I watched this movie twice.

Then, I suddenly got the inspiration to create a completely different story using the theme of Qin Yong.”

"Oh, Jiang Feng, please tell me."

Qinglong was excited. He had been thinking about suing Zhao Laonian, who shared the wine with him. I saw that your wine glass was a little small. But when he heard Jiang Feng talking about this, he knew the main point was about to begin.

The hard work I did over the past ten days was not in vain!

Haha... Come to think of it, Jiang Feng is such a kind person, how could he treat his friends badly.

“The story goes like this…”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Feng picked up the wine glass and took a small sip to try whether this cup of Wuliangye was authentic. Then he wiped his mouth with a napkin and said:
"Meng Yi, a brave and skilled general of the Qin Dynasty, was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to escort the Korean princess Yu Shu to Qin as his consort. On the way, they were ambushed by rebels secretly instigated by Prime Minister Zhao Gao. In order to protect Princess Yu Shu, Meng Yi and the other general held hands and fell into a thousand-foot waterfall with their chariot.

The same dream has haunted archaeologist Jack for many years. The otherworldly woman in white in the dream, Princess Yu Shu, has bewitched him and made him even more fascinated by Qin Dynasty artifacts.

One day, Jack's good friend, William, a scientist who was keen on studying supernatural energy and vowed to go down in history... "

The story was quite long. Everyone drank, ate and listened to Jiang Feng's story. It took about half an hour before Jiang Feng stopped talking.

"Jiang Feng, do you have a script?"

Qinglong was very excited and stood up from his chair.

"Have!"

Before Jiang Feng could say anything, Li Xing took out a thick stack of A4 paper from her bag. On the top page of the stack of A4 paper, there were two big characters written on it: [Myth]!
The dragon is overbearing.

When he saw the script, he took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it in front of Li Xing, then took the stack of scripts in his hand.

"Jiang Feng, there is still 50 US dollars in the bank card. If it is not enough, you can tell me. If you have any other conditions, you can also ask for them.

But this script is mine from now on."

"Brother, it's very simple."

At this time, the person who spoke had changed to Li Xing.

"Jiang Feng Film Studio will be one of the investors of the film "Mythology", and as the legal representative of Jiang Feng Film Studio, I will also serve as the co-producer of the film "Mythology"."

"can!"

Qinglong agreed immediately.

“Brother, Jiang Feng will be participating in the TV series “Emperor Wu of Han” next year, and will not be able to shoot movies or start projects for about 6 to 8 months, so some of our friends need roles in the movie “Mythology”.

Such as Huang Xiaoming, Guo Xiaodong, Liu Mu, Kong Wei, Li Jia, etc. ”

"Um..., okay."

Qing Long briefly recalled the acting skills of Huang Xiaoming and others, then nodded in agreement.

There are many characters that appear in the plot. If you pick up the less important ones, you can give them a few. This is not a problem at all.

However, although he nodded, Qinglong was not a pushover. Seeing that Li Xing no longer raised any conditions, he spoke.

"Mr. Li, Jiang Feng, with so many people as witnesses, I have agreed to all the conditions you proposed, and now I also have a small condition."

"Brother, tell me."

Li Xing acted in a businesslike manner and even took out a recorder from his pocket to take notes.

"I heard that Jiang Feng has a very challenging script. It requires a person to act in a movie by moving around in a space as small as a coffin.

Well, I want to challenge myself.”

"what…"

As soon as Qing Long finished speaking, Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, Li Lianhua and others all opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked at Jiang Feng.

Damn, I thought the movies "Moon" starring Jiang Feng and "Cast Away" starring Tom Hanks were already awesome enough, and that one person's acting skills alone could support an entire movie.

But I didn’t expect there was an even more amazing script, because he wanted to shoot a movie in a coffin…

How can this be?

You have to know that with such a small space, even those teachers with rich experience in daily life cannot complete a short film.

But if it is true, it would be very challenging and would be enough to make the actor's name go down in history.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Feng didn't say anything, but took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Qing Long.

[Room 317, Four Seasons Hotel, Gangnam District, Seoul. Today is the 12th. If you go there for me, this script will be yours.]

wipe…

forget it.

Seeing the text message from Jiang Feng, Qing Long cursed, raised his phone, and sat down on the chair first.
