Entertainment 1998

Chapter 709 Chapter 708, Gong Huang was directly threatened
After staying at Charlize Theron's house for one night, Jiang Feng returned to his villa near Santa Monica Beach the next morning.

Charlize Theron wanted to stay, but Jiang Feng didn't dare to stay with her for too long.

The reason is very simple. During his morning jog, Jiang Feng met Sean Combs, a neighbor of Charlize Theron.

Sean Combs, who also went out for a morning run, not only talked with Charlize Theron about the movie "The Departed", but also talked with Jiang Feng about music, from death rock to American country music to hip-hop...

Many people may not be familiar with the dark and strong Sean Combs, but if you talk about his stage name, it is very famous ~ Puff Daddy!

Of course, if Charlize Theron and Sean Combs were just neighbors, there would be nothing wrong with that. After all, they are colleagues in the entertainment industry and they see each other every day. Living close to each other makes them seem close.

But what made Jiang Feng feel a little unhappy was that after morning exercise, at breakfast time, P. Diddy actually asked his assistant to take the initiative to go to Charlize Theron's house to send him an invitation letter.

[Jiang, I would like to invite you to my private party tonight! ]

wipe…

When Jiang Feng saw the invitation letter, he immediately started swearing.

This grandson should stop treating his buddy as Justin Bieber!
You have to know that although guys like to spend money and have fun, there are some bottom lines that they will never cross, but the parties in Sean Combs's family dare to do anything.

Well, it can be said that even Korean chaebols are inferior to Sean Combs in terms of his playing style.

In his own home, Jiang Feng directly rejected Sean Combs' invitation, and Charlize Theron felt a little unbelievable.

You have to know that in the United States, ordinary people in the entertainment industry are simply not in Sean Combs' eyes.

That's why people look up to Jiang Feng because his three consecutive English albums have been big sellers around the world, especially the third English album, which sold over 3 million copies worldwide in the first three days of sales.

For example, I have never received an invitation from him before.

But before Charlize Theron could open her mouth to ask her questions, she received a stern warning from Jiang Feng.

"Charlize Theron, listen to me. Even if you become famous, don't attend the private party organized by Sean Combs."

"why?"

Charlize Theron is curious.

But Jiang Feng only left one sentence.

"If you don't want to die, don't go!"

Do I want to die?

I definitely don't want to. Thanks to the global box office success of "The Departed", I have just stepped into the ranks of top-tier actresses and am about to enjoy flowers and applause.

How could I think about dying?!

Well, what's more, the script of the movie "World War Z" is so good, and I also want to get the leading female role in it.

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron did not force Jiang Feng to stay in her house. He could go home if he wanted and do whatever he wanted. As long as he could train me to become an Oscar-winning actress, that would be enough.

Just like this time, Jiang Feng helped me win a nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the 60th Golden Globe Awards. Now I have to wait and see whether I can win the award at the awards ceremony? !
When Charlize Theron thought of the 60th Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television, she hurriedly reminded Jiang Feng.

"Don't forget, we have a party at noon today. Matt Damon, Jon Fillmore, Harvey Weinstein and Leonardo Dicaprio are all waiting for us at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Well, I heard that there are two celebrities from China, why don't we invite them to join us at the noon party?"

……

Two celebrities came from China, Jiang Feng knew half about this.

The male star is Xie Tingfeng, who has appeared in the movie "The Departed". Now, wanting to see him at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Jiang Feng gave Boss Yang this face.

Anyway, you are paying for it yourself, so just come!

Who is the female star?

Is it Fan Jiuyi who came here with me?

It seems that my buddy has never promised to take her to walk the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony this time.

But if it wasn’t Fan Jiuyi, then who was it?
With such doubts, Jiang Feng put his luggage at home and drove his Grand Cherokee in the United States to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

It was 11: am when we arrived here.

Maybe it was because it was lunchtime, there were a lot of guests coming down from upstairs to eat in the restaurant, and most of these people were celebrities who came to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

There are Indians, Iranians, Swedish, French, Italian, Spanish, Russians…

Jiang Feng basically doesn't know any of these celebrity artists.

However, when they saw Jiang Feng, they smiled very happily. For example, the beautiful Russian actress Yelena Liadova even sang the Russian song "Возьмисердцемоё/Prisoner of Love" in front of Jiang Feng;
Movie actor...

They all love to express themselves. When they saw Yelena Liadova singing, they immediately became excited and started to sing the songs that Jiang Feng had composed in their country's language.

The album "read all about it" is currently a hit all over the world. It not only won the Guinness World Record, but was also widely reported by official media in various countries.

As film and television actors, it is not surprising that everyone can sing songs from this album.

Where there are happy people, there are naturally unhappy people!

For example, the Indian male star Ranveer Singh complained about Jiang Feng in public in the lobby on the first floor of the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Jiang, there are 14 songs in the album "Read All About It". You wrote them in 11 languages, but why didn't you use Hindi, the official language of India?"

Hearing the old man's question, Jiang Feng immediately frowned.

"My friend, isn't English the official language of India?"

"No, Jiang, let me tell you!
In India, there are 1652 languages ​​and dialects, of which 33 have more than a million speakers, and among these 33, Hindi is the most widely used.

Jiang, I dare not say anything else, but if your English album had Hindi songs, it would have sold at least 1000 million more copies, hey hey hey... Jiang, why did you leave before I could finish my words? "

groove…

Brother, can you not leave?

Your level of bragging is almost as high as mine. If I don't leave now, you might perform a "beating a lizard with a stick" trick in front of everyone in the hotel lobby, and I won't be able to have a happy lunch today.

After complaining to himself for a while, Jiang Feng met the actors and friends from the filming of "The Departed" at the Western restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Jiang, I see you again." George Clooney is still so elegant.

"Jiang, I love you. If I can win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor this time, I will definitely take you to a fun place." Leonardo Dicaprio is still so playful.

"Jiang, thank you!" Matt Damon is a very affectionate man. This time, he and Leonardo Dicaprio were both nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for the movie "The Departed", and they looked very happy.

“Hi, Director!”

The person who greeted him was Xie Tingfeng. Perhaps because of the case of taking the blame, he was much more mature now than last year. At least when he stood in front of Jiang Feng, he no longer shook his legs.

"Brother Feng, Miss Huo brought me here." Perhaps because she was afraid that Jiang Feng would think too much, Fan Jiuyi, who was standing next to Xie Tingfeng, explained with a smile.

"Hi, Jiang Feng, we finally meet!"

After hearing this voice, Jiang Feng finally knew who the other actress Charlize Theron was talking about?
Gong Li!

This most successful Chinese actress, the ex-girlfriend of the famous film director Zhang Yimou, is also China's first lifetime Oscar judge. At this moment, she actually appeared in the Four Seasons Hotel.

However, Jiang Feng didn't have any thoughts about her, even though he had flirted with so many beautiful actresses born in the 60s before.

After all, not far from where Gong Li was sitting, there was a man staring at this side.

Ok…

After shaking hands with Gong Li, Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment, but still waved to Sun Honglei who was not far away.

"Brother Honglei, come and sit with us."

We are all Chinese and met in Hollywood. No matter what, we have to sit together and have lunch today.

In the United States, having dinner with friends is very different from that in China.

In China, people basically find a single room, put a round dining table in it, and put a turntable on it. On the turntable are a dozen or even twenty exquisite dishes. Then everyone sits around the table, eating, chatting and drinking.

But in the United States, it is a little hard to get used to. There is a long table that is seven or eight meters long. People sit on both sides of the table, and there are flowers and candles in the middle.

The dishes were served separately, the same for everyone, steak, roast lamb, fruit salad, and everyone drank red wine.

Although Jiang Feng was not quite used to this, he endured it silently because as our ancestors said, when in Rome, you should follow the local customs.

Perhaps for the convenience of talking, the person sitting on Jiang Feng’s left is Harvey Weinstein, and the person sitting on Jiang Feng’s right is Jon Fillmore.

Harvey Weinstein was very happy and chatted with Jiang Feng with great enthusiasm. When the conversation got excited, the old man even stretched out three fingers towards Jiang Feng.

Seeing these three fingers, Jiang Feng was a little excited, because what this guy meant was very clear. At the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony, "The Departed" would be able to win at least three awards, but Jiang Feng didn't know which three awards they would be.

Compared to Harvey Weinstein, the founder of Miramax Films, Jon Fillmore, the CEO of Lionsgate Films, is a bit down and out today.

I believe this guy should have heard that from now on, China Film Group will basically only cooperate with Miramax Films on film projects.

Because compared to the strength of Miramax Films, Lionsgate's influence on awards is far less, not to mention that Miramax Films is currently negotiating a cooperation with Columbia Pictures.

The person sitting opposite Jiang Feng is Fan Jiuyi, the slightly plump goddess. She is very excited today because sitting on her left is the Hollywood male god Leonardo Dicaprio, and sitting on her right is also the Hollywood male god George Clooney.

Although she was being attacked by two male gods at the same time, she still did not forget the purpose of coming to the United States. So, she chatted and laughed with the men on both sides in poor English, while stretching out her jade feet under the table and gently rubbing Jiang Feng's calves.

Originally, I wanted to have a deep conversation with you last night, but I didn't expect that you would be picked up by Charlize Theron.

So tonight, should it be my turn? !

The lunch went smoothly and ended successfully after an hour.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, George Clooney, Leonardo Dicaprio, Charlize Theron, Matt Damon and others came out of the restaurant and left.

The movie was nominated for a Golden Globe, and we treated the director to a meal, but that’s it!

As for any grand thanks later, we will have to wait until they actually win the award.

After the four actors left, Lionsgate CEO Jon Fillmore also left.

During the lunch, Jiang Feng had already told him clearly that according to the Chinese system, I am now a director of China Film Group Corporation, and I have basically no autonomy as to which company to cooperate with me.

The old rogue Harvey Weinstein was obviously very happy with Jiang Feng's statement. He opened his arms, hugged Jiang Feng and said, "There is a red sofa in my office. It's very comfortable to sit on. How about you come with me to experience it?"

Jiang Feng still chose to refuse the old man's invitation.

I don't want to wait for your reputation to explode and then drag me down with it.

Angelina Jolie: I was raped by Chinese film director Jiang Feng on the red sofa in Harvey Weinstein's office.

Uh…

If something like that happened, it’s scary to think about it.

So Jiang Feng pointed at Gong Li, whom Harvey Weinstein knew, and said, "Mr. Harvey, I am honored by your invitation. How about we meet some other day?

Now, as you can see, Gong Li came to see me for something."

……

Gong Li really came to the United States to find Jiang Feng because she had something to do.

Since May last year, when she was filming the movie "Zhou Yu's Train" in the mountain city, Gong Li received an inexplicable invitation.

Jiang Feng invited me to star in a rural romance film. What was the main content of the script? I don’t know!
What role will I play? I'm not sure!

When will the filming of this movie start? It seems that it has not been determined yet.

The only things that are certain are that the name of the movie is "Hidden in the Dust" and the actor who plays opposite her is Zhang Yimou!

At first, Gong Li wanted to consider acting in the film.

After all, the other party is Jiang Feng, China's most successful commercial film director. Just a domestic comedy alone earned him 18.2 billion yuan in box office, which directly surpassed his competitors.

For this kind of director, every actor wants to work with him.

However, when she heard that the male lead was Zhang Yimou, Gong Li was immediately furious.

wipe!
This bastard Jiang Feng is taking advantage of me and wants to use the relationship between me and Lao Zhang to promote his movie.

So Gong Li refused the idea without even thinking about it.

Originally, according to the rules of the industry, if a director invites an actor to star in his film or TV series and the actor refuses, the director will immediately turn to invite other actors, after all, there are plenty of actors.

If you don't take this role, someone else will naturally take it.

Of course, in order to show their sincerity, there are also directors who have repeatedly extended invitations.

But I never expected that Jiang Feng was such a bad guy. On the night I rejected him, I received a text message from him.

[Sister Gong Li, if "Hidden in the Dust" cannot be filmed smoothly, then I will have to move on to the next project.

The next movie is based on a true story about a beautiful young actress who fell in love with a film director who was a photographer.

Then, for her, the film director had a fight with her first boyfriend in front of the Central Academy of Drama...】
