Entertainment 1998

Chapter 698 Chapter 697, Great Wealth Falling from the Sky
"Jiang Feng, let me talk to you about something. Isn't the movie "Hero" starring the two of us going to be released soon?
After much thought, I feel that it would be better to use you as the main promotional point, such as in the middle of the movie poster or in the subtitle area of ​​the movie. It would be best if you were fully highlighted! "

Jet Li's call came suddenly.

The next morning, Jiang Feng drove to Beijing Film Studio to prepare for the post-production of "The Yellow Sea", when this guy called him.

Fortunately, Li Xing was sitting in the passenger seat, and she answered the call and pressed the hands-free button.

"..."

The incident happened suddenly, and Jiang Feng didn't know what to say for a moment. Well..., mainly because he didn't know the purpose of the Kung Fu Emperor's call.

When the filming of "Hero" was completed, in order to show his own status, Jet Li had some unpleasantness with his buddies.

Now, he actually took the initiative to give up the position that reflects his status. This... this is really puzzling.

"Brother Jie, I'm sorry, I'm Jiang Feng's agent, Li Xing, and I answered the phone for Brother Feng. Brother Feng is busy with the post-production of The Yellow Sea and is currently working in the editing room. He didn't bring his phone with him.

Um..., Brother Jie, let’s do this.

If it's urgent, I can send the phone in right now; but if you can wait a little longer, please wait a little longer until Brother Feng is done, and I'll ask him to call you back."

Seeing that Li Xing answered the call so flawlessly, Jiang Feng immediately gave her a thumbs up.

This is the benefit of tacit cooperation.

When it was inconvenient for him to come forward, Li Xing would take the initiative to step forward, leaving himself some room for maneuver.

"Haha..., you are Jiang Feng's female producer, right?

It doesn't matter. It's the same as talking to you about this matter. It's about the promotion of the movie "Hero". I feel that Jiang Feng's momentum in Hollywood has risen.

Whether it is "The Departed" or "This Man From Earth", Jiang Feng's fame in the United States has greatly increased.

Therefore, I think we should seize the opportunity and use the movie "Hero" to add more fuel to Jiang Feng's fire..."

wipe!
Jiang Feng didn’t understand it just now, but now he understands it completely.

It should be that Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping joined forces to put pressure on Jet Li to give up his position.

And Jet Li is not a vegetarian either.

I can give up my status, but I gave it up on my own initiative, not because of you guys.

If there is any favor to be done, it should be me, Jet Li, who should be the one to do Jiang Feng a favor.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xing gave Jiang Feng a look.

Brother Feng, what should we do?
Jiang Feng didn't hesitate and shook his head.

"Brother Jie, I understand what you said.

Now I can give you an answer. Brother Feng told me this repeatedly when he was filming "Hero" with you.

Brother Jie is a good person.

Whether it is for himself, his family or the entire society, he has very great ambitions, so when we work with Brother Jie, we must remain humble, humble and humble again.

No matter at any time or place, we must not let Brother Jie suffer losses while enriching ourselves.

So Brother Jie, what you said about giving the most conspicuous area in the movie subtitles and the center position in the poster to Jiang Feng is absolutely not possible.

It won't work for me.

Well, there is no room for negotiation! "

After speaking these righteous words, Li Xing hung up the phone. Perhaps to show his firm attitude, Li Xing also turned off Jiang Feng's personal mobile phone.

Ha ha…

Seeing this, Jiang Feng first gave the beauty a thumbs up, and then pointed his finger at his cheek.

Seeing this, Li Xing smiled brightly, then leaned over and kissed Jiang Feng on the face with her red lips.

After the kiss, Li Xing wiped Jiang Feng's face with a wet towel and then said, "Brother Feng, Li Lianjie is not an ordinary person. He knows how to go with the flow and do favors. But we don't want this favor."

.........

As soon as the car arrived at the Beijing Film Studio, Jiang Feng basically entered a completely busy state.

During the day, I am working in the editing room, or discussing with Dou Wei the details of the soundtrack for "The Yellow Sea". The film "The Yellow Sea" will be composed by Dou Wei.

In the evening, Jiang Feng, who was busy until seven or eight o'clock in the morning, would stay in the Beijing Film Academy community. The place had both air conditioning and was convenient for accommodation.

But this made Wang Fei a little angry, and he kept yelling on the phone:
Experts have said that it is okay during pregnancy, but you are still avoiding me, what does that mean? !
Faced with this situation, Jiang Feng was too lazy to explain before. Experts once said that as long as people obey traffic rules, there will be no problem walking on the road. But in fact, even if you obey traffic rules, you may be hit and killed by a car coming from the opposite lane.

But now, facing the pregnant Wang Fei, all Jiang Feng can do is to coax her and keep making big promises on the phone.

The goods will be unloaded in a few months. After that, we can do whatever we want and play however we want. Even if you want me to do a classic yoga split in the air, it’s up to you.

That's how women are.

Whether after marriage or during love, women live with their ears. Just say something nice to her, and she will quickly forget about unpleasant things.

In this way, time passes day by day.

Soon it was January 12th.

At noon on December 12, Jiang Feng, who had just finished editing the movie "The Yellow Sea", was about to go to the cafeteria of the Beijing Film Academy next door to have lunch. He also wanted to visit teacher Cui Xinqin in the afternoon to prepare for this semester's final paper. But just downstairs in the Beijing Film Studio, Jiang Feng met Han Shanye, Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou.

Among them, Zhang Weiping, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou had livid faces.

"Mr. Han, Director, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Jiang, hello..."

"Hello, Jiang Feng, have you eaten?"

Recently, Han Shanye has always been so kind and amiable in front of Jiang Feng.

"Not yet." Jiang Feng patted his belly and pointed to the small door between Beijing Film Studio and Beijing Film Academy.

"I'm just about to go to the school cafeteria to eat."

"Let's go to the school cafeteria to eat... Forget it. Today, the five of us will go to Xin Fu Sheng Restaurant for a drink. After we finish drinking, we will go to the Great Hall of the People to prepare for the world premiere of Hero."

After saying this, regardless of whether Jiang Feng was happy or not, Han Shanye put his arm around his back and walked towards the entrance of Beijing Film Studio together.

They are so intimate, just like brothers.

"But I want to talk to Professor Cui about my third-year graduate thesis this afternoon."

"What are you talking about?

Jiang Feng, let me tell you, with your current status, even if you just write something casually, the Beijing Film Academy will regard it as a classic.

Because looking at the domestic film industry, who can win the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture for a film directed in English? "

"Well, Mr. Han, we have to keep a low profile. I just got a nomination now." Although he has been a human for more than ten lifetimes, Jiang Feng believes that he is still not as thick-skinned as Han Shanye.

“What happened to the nomination?
Those directors who were nominated never got one!"

At this time, Han Shanye became more and more excited, as if to say, Jiang Feng, you must accept my praise today.

"Um…"

In response, Jiang Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Boss Han, has something happened? I see you all look unhappy."

"No!" Han Shanye said straightforwardly, raised his hand, and pushed Jiang Feng to continue walking towards Xingtan Road.

"Well, nothing happened." Jiang Zhiqiang's words were not cool at all. Although he said it was okay, he was actually about to cry. "Jiang Feng, let me talk." Zhang Weiping did not change his cannon character. He ignored the conversation strategies of Jiang Zhiqiang, Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou and others, and directly took out a thick stack of photos from his pocket.

"Jiang Feng, take a look at these first."

Jiang Feng frowned after looking at Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang. Then he took the photos from Zhang Weiping and checked them one by one.

【Xiao Qiang】

The beauty at the top is known as the most beautiful woman in Taiwan.

【Yang Yuying】

This beauty is a famous sweet singer in the circle. The song "Heart Rain" sung by her became popular all over China.

【Liu Xiaoqing】

She was the first actress to become popular in mainland China, and of course, she was also the first actress in mainland China to develop her own commercial value.

【Zhang Manyu】

This beauty is the heroine of "Hero", and the two even had physical contact when they worked together on this movie.

It's a pity that she wanted to win over Liang Chaowei, but she was helpless and could not beat Liu Jialing no matter how hard she tried.

【Yuan Yongyi】

【Cai Shaofen】

【Li Jiaxin】

...

After seeing these photos, Jiang Feng knew what Zhang Weiping meant. This guy must be asking for something.

However, when Jiang Feng looked up, he found that Jiang Zhiqiang, Zhang Yimou and Han Shanye had already walked far away, and only Zhang Weiping was by his side.

Zhang Weiping has very sharp eyes.

Seeing Jiang Feng looking at him, the old man said, "Jiang Feng, I know you have a lot of money. I can even say that all the people in the entertainment industry in China combined may not have as much money as you do.

So I won't insult you for money.

Well, I cater to his preferences.

There are so many women in the photos. Who do you like? I promise that I can send him to your bed within two days, yes, even her. "

At this time, Zhang Weiping handed over another photo.

However, Jiang Feng did not use his hands to take the photo, because he knew without taking it that the person in the photo must be Gong Li.

As expected, seeing that Jiang Feng refused to take the photo, Zhang Weiping directly showed him this photo.

"Gong Li, the ex-girlfriend of director Zhang Yimou, is said to be having an affair with actor Sun Honglei because of their performance in the movie Zhou Yu's Train.

But, Jiang Feng, as long as you say you like it, I also promise to satisfy you within two days."

"Ha ha…"

Seeing Zhang Weiping's serious expression, Jiang Feng laughed.

"Mr. Zhang, we have known each other for a long time. If there is anything that you find difficult, just tell us. There is no need for us to do these empty things."

"okay."

Zhang Weiping agreed and put all the photos in his hand and Jiang Feng's hand into his pocket.

However, he took out another disc.

"Jiang Feng, I have bad news for you. A pirated disc of the movie Hero has been released.

Well, take a look, I bought this from Zhongguancun, it looks more genuine than the original.”

【hero】

Jiang Feng took the pirated disc from Zhang Weiping and just took a look at it, he couldn't help laughing, because there was a very arrogant text printed at the bottom of the disc: [China Pirated Film Production Company].

"Well, Mr. Zhang, have you seen the contents of the disc?" Afraid that he would laugh out loud, Jiang Feng immediately changed the subject.

"I saw it, it's pure high definition!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Weiping's face was filled with grief and indignation.

"Jiang Feng, the copyright of the movie "Hero" was sold on November 11th for 24 million RMB.

This set a record high price for Chinese films.

However, there are conditions, that is, we must crack down on piracy. Within one month after the movie is taken off the shelves, there must not be large-scale pirated discs on the market, otherwise we will lose money.

Of course, the most important thing is that the high-definition discs are out, so people won’t go to the cinema to watch movies anymore, let alone me making a bold statement that my “Nobody” will be better than yours.

It is estimated that the investment of "Hero" is 3500 million US dollars. If the domestic box office can exceed 1 million RMB, we will be lucky."

"Um…"

Jiang Feng nodded.

Zhang Weiping is right. In China, combating piracy is indeed a problem. If it weren't for the free eggs, "Nobody" would have definitely been a Waterloo.

Just like the movie "The Departed" did so well at the box office abroad, directly exceeding 9 million US dollars, but in mainland China, it was only 1.2 million RMB.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, let me put it this way, what exactly do you want me to do?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It's simple. Turn the tide!"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng felt a little dizzy, as if he had heard it wrongly.

"What I mean is, please help me think of a way to fight piracy and make our "Hero" sell well at the box office. It would be best if the box office of the movie can reach the level of "Nobody"..."

"Haha..., Mr. Zhang, please ask for help from someone else. I can't do it." Before Zhang Weiping could finish his words, Jiang Feng laughed and shook his head, then quickly walked towards the Xinfusheng Restaurant on Xingtan Road.

My buddy has been working since 7 o'clock this morning. He is so hungry that his stomach is sticking to his back. He must have a good meal at noon today.

As for what Zhang Weiping said?
No, Zhang Weiping was not talking about things, but making a wish. Damn, the wish he made was so good that even Buddha would scratch his head after hearing it.

It was dinner time and Xinfusheng Restaurant was doing very well. Zhang Yimou, Han Shanye and Jiang Zhiqiang arrived a little late and there were no seats left in the private rooms on the second floor, so they had to eat in the restaurant on the first floor.

Fortunately, the location is good. Sitting by the window, you can see the scenery of Xingtan Road.

"Manager, what did Mr. Han and the director order?"

As soon as he walked to the restaurant, Jiang Feng met the front office manager of Xinfusheng Restaurant and started asking.

"Hello Director Jiang, let me tell you something..."

"No need to say, just tell me if you have the dish of crystal pork elbow?"

"Boss Han and the others didn't order."

"If you haven't ordered it, just add more. Also, bring two boxes of beer to our table." Jiang Feng raised his hand and walked towards Han Shanye, Jiang Zhiqiang, Zhang Yimou and others with a smile on his face.

Just as Jiang Feng sat down, two people walked in from outside Xinfusheng Restaurant. The person walking in front was Zhang Weiping. This guy still had a sad face, but the woman next to him in a white down jacket was smiling sweetly.

"Hi, Brother Feng!"
