Entertainment 1998

Chapter 715 Chapter 714, Jade Lady Leader
Before, no Chinese had ever won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture. The most that came to mind was "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Therefore, when Jiang Feng returned home with honors this time, many reporters came to interview him.

One or two hundred reporters and onlookers crowded around the terminal entrance.

Jiang Feng is very patient.

Basically, every question was answered, and even the little joke made by George Carlin, the host of the Golden Globe Awards, was explained to everyone.

Americans are like this, rough and bold. In the eyes of ordinary people in our country, teasing a lady who has just divorced seems impolite, but they are used to it.

For example, Nicole Kidman, the person involved, was smiling happily at the award ceremony.

The interview lasted for half an hour until 11:30 noon, when Jiang Feng finally got into the Chrysler Grand Voyager commercial vehicle brought by his agent Wang Jing amid the cheers of fans and reporters.

After getting in the car, Jiang Feng wanted to ask Li Xing to get in as well. After the Spring Festival, he would join the crew to shoot the TV series "The Emperor Wu of Han". He wanted to give instructions and let Li Xing take his team members to work on the "Myth" crew in Qinglong.

It doesn’t matter how much money you make, the key is that everyone can start working and have something to do.

However, before the sisters Li Xing and Li Lianhua who were walking behind her arrived, Wang Jinghua told the driver to close the car door and drove on the road.

"Jiang Feng, if you have anything to say, please contact Li Xing on the phone. Now, let's go directly to Media Center Hotel."

"Um…"

Jiang Feng turned to look at her.

What do you mean? I want to go home and have a look.

"Don't look at me like that. It's the higher-ups' order. Because the disease is spreading aggressively in the south, the relevant departments have requested that all performers participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala arrive at the Media Center Hotel 10 days in advance for closed management."

At this point, Wang Jinghua took a breath and said, "You shined at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Not only did you win two awards, but you also trained a Best Actress and a Best Actor.

Therefore, the leader has given you two days' grace and allowed you to join the team today."

Oh…I see!
Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought it was the leader that Han Shanye mentioned, who was waiting for me at the Media Center Hotel.

"What are you thinking about? You're so startled."

Seeing that Jiang Feng's expression was a little abnormal, Wang Jinghua asked him curiously.

"I didn't think much about it. I was just a little worried about Wang Fei who was pregnant. I had agreed to spend the New Year with her this year."

Jiang Feng was not in a position to reveal the matter to his superiors, so he just made up an excuse.

“Well, let’s put it this way.

These days, I often come to your house to see what Wang Fei needs. If there is any need, I am always available to help. "

Although she is already the top entertainment agent in the country, when facing Jiang Feng, Wang Jinghua is still the nanny-like agent she used to be. Whenever Jiang Feng has any problem, she will always lend a hand at the first opportunity.

"Okay then, Sister Hua, please help me take care of Wang Fei.

In addition, my nephew Wang Haoyu may return to his hometown Cao County in a few days. Tell him not to go back and spend the New Year in Beijing."

"Are you afraid of bringing the virus back home?" Wang Jinghua asked as she opened her bag and took out a red folder.

"Of course.

My parents are old and their immunity is weak, so if I can avoid letting them take risks, I will.

Just like this time, I originally planned to go back to my hometown Cao County, and then rush to the Jiangnan town of Hengdian from Cao County.

Now, they basically leave after the Spring Festival.”

Facing Wang Jinghua, Jiang Feng told her his next plan.

As usual, Wang Jinghua didn't say yes or no to Jiang Feng's plan. Anyway, as long as it was something Jiang Feng decided on, she would cooperate with him with all her strength.

There is no way, Jiang Feng is the most profitable artist under his company.

Just like the agreement just faxed by Paramount and DreamWorks, if Jiang Feng takes over to direct the movie "Transformers", he will get a salary of 1500 million US dollars and 7% of the global box office dividends.

Not to mention the 7% global box office dividends, just talk about the US$1500 million salary. The annual income of all the other actors under him combined is not as high as this, including Chen Daoming.

Wang Jinghua, who was about to hand several agreements to Jiang Feng, stopped what she was doing when she thought of Chen Daoming.

"Jiang Feng, has Director Zhang Yimou decided to take on your film Hidden in the Dust? If he doesn't want to act, you can consider Chen Daoming.

Chen Daoming has approached me several times, saying that he is willing to act in this film for free, and that he will be able to go to your hometown to experience life in the first half of this year."

"It should be almost done."

Jiang Feng thought about it and prepared to take out his cell phone to call Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

What are you two old enemies doing?
You said you want to discuss it, but you haven't given me any news yet. You know, once the movie is done, the people may build a shrine for you.

But just when Jiang Feng wanted to continue fooling Zhang Yimou and Gong Li on the phone, Wang Jinghua handed him several documents.

"Don't worry about Chen Daoming's business. I have several business contracts for renewal. Please sign them for me.

The top one is Audi's endorsement contract. The two-year cooperation period has expired and it is time to renew the contract. The endorsement fee has increased by 15%.

The second one is a commercial endorsement contract with Armani. Although our cooperation has not expired, due to your outstanding performance at the Golden Globe Awards and their expectations for you at this year's Oscars.

They directly offered a bigger contract, 1000 million RMB for two years, which I think is a fair price.

The third one is the termination agreement of the domestic mobile phone manufacturer Kejian. Kejian’s mobile phones have begun to decline and are even insolvent. In this case, they cannot afford your high endorsement fee.

So they planned to pay us some liquidated damages and terminate the contract directly."

Jiang Feng looked at the first two contracts that Wang Jinghua handed over and found no problems, so he happily signed them.

But when Jiang Feng saw the termination agreement of Kejian Mobile Phone, he did not sign it.

"Why, Jiang Feng, do you want them to continue to fulfill the contract? If they continue to fulfill the contract, they won't even be able to pay you for your endorsement fee."

This was not to make decisions on behalf of Jiang Feng, but Wang Jinghua was reminding him in his own way that they were almost bankrupt, so they should not make things difficult for them. If they could get some termination fee, they should get it.

It is said that the factory of Kejian mobile phones is now blocked by many suppliers, and everyone is waiting for it to be bankrupt and liquidated.

Facing Wang Jinghua's reminder, Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Sister Hua, we can't sign this termination agreement."

"why?"

"Because I can't ruin my reputation like Brother Qinglong did."

I can’t be like Brother Qinglong…

Hearing this, Wang Jinghua was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud, Jiang Feng, you are such a mean boy.

In the business world, there is a corporate curse called "Qinglong endorsement" - many brands endorsed by Qinglong have come to a bad end...

When Qinlong endorsed the Subor learning machine, the founder ran away from home; when Qinlong endorsed the Aido VCD, the boss became a prisoner; when Qinlong endorsed the Fenhuang Cola, the production was stopped after 3 years; when Qinlong endorsed the Kaidi car, only more than cars were sold nationwide that year!
But, it's all just a joke.

There is one thing that Wang Jinghua still wants to make clear. If we sign the termination agreement now, it is called termination. But if Kejian Mobile goes bankrupt, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing for you?
But before she could ask, Wang Jinghua saw Jiang Feng dial a person's number on his mobile phone. "Sixth sister, let's find someone to evaluate it. If it's possible, we will buy Kejian Mobile Phones now."

……

12: noon
After sending Jiang Feng to the entrance of Media Center Hotel, Wang Jinghua left.

It’s not that he didn’t want to follow Jiang Feng into the hotel, but the staff of the national television station wouldn’t let him because they wanted to keep the place under closed management.

The actors participating in the Spring Festival Gala were kept in isolation in the hotel, and they were also rehearsing in Studio 1 of the National Television Station in an isolated state.

The closure in 2003 was somewhat different from the previous 20 years.

Not so strict, nor so solemn.

That is, the actors participating in the Spring Festival Gala are concentrated in one hotel and are not allowed to go out, so as to avoid infection and affect the performance.

But everyone can still move freely in the hotel.

Practice dancing in the dance studio, rehearse skits in the rehearsal room, or sing in the studio...

Just like Zhao Laonian, he was standing at the door of the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, waiting for Jiang Feng happily.

"Hey, Director, you're back from the United States."

"I'm back, Teacher Zhao."

Seeing Zhao Laonian opening his arms towards him, Jiang Feng smiled, hugged him, and said seriously.

"Teacher Zhao, I don't dare to be called director. Why don't you just call me Jiang Feng? I feel very close to you when you call me Jiang Feng."

"Okay then, I'll still call you Jiang Feng as before."

At this time, Zhao Laonian's smile became even brighter.

"Jiang Feng, I knew you were coming, so I prepared everything in the restaurant. I asked the chef to prepare a few dishes, and then we two brothers will each have a bottle of wine."

"I haven't even gone to my room yet!"

Jiang Feng patted the suitcase beside him.

"Just put your suitcase at the door of the restaurant. It won't be too late to go upstairs and find a room after we finish our drinks." Having said that, regardless of whether Jiang Feng was happy or not, Zhao Laonian stretched out his hand and hugged him as they walked into the Chinese restaurant of Melia Center Hotel.

In a corner of the restaurant, near the window, there is a round dining table with eight large basins on it, each containing exquisite dishes.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, Northeastern stew, Chinese cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, pork belly stewed with sauerkraut, boiled fish, Maoxuewang...

Seeing these steaming Chinese dishes, Jiang Feng strode over. After staying in the United States for a few days, he missed these things more and more.

However, before Jiang Feng reached the dining table, several people stood up at the table.

"Good director!"

"Hello, Teacher Fan Wei."

"Hello, director. I watched the live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. I have to say that you have brought honor to the Chinese film industry."

"Sister Xiumin, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"

"Why, Director, do you know me?"

"Of course, once the skit "Selling Crutch" was released, it became known to everyone in the world!"

"Hello, Director. You may not know me?"

"I know you. You are Mr. He Qingkui, Mr. Zhao's screenwriter."

He Qingkui, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei were Zhao Laonian's main team at this year's Spring Festival Gala. It was naturally very nice for everyone to get to know each other while drinking together.

But when he saw the other two, Jiang Feng was a little confused.

"Hello, Teacher Song."

"Hello, director. Congratulations on the great success of your movie at the Golden Globe Awards." Mr. Song, a well-known domestic folk singer, smiled sweetly. Although he did not take the initiative to greet Jiang Feng, he extended his hand.

"I am over-flattered!"

It would be fine if it was in front of others, but in front of this singer, Jiang Feng still didn't dare to be arrogant.

After chatting with Teacher Song, Jiang Feng sat next to Zhao Laonian.

Let's drink together...

Of course, you have to sit together to enjoy the drink.

However, as soon as Jiang Feng sat down, another beautiful woman sitting next to him at the table became a little unhappy.

"Jiang Feng, why don't you talk to me?"

"Oh, it's you?"

Seeing Zhang Baizhi, Jiang Feng pretended not to know.

"Haven't you seen Wish Upon a Star? If you haven't seen Wish Upon a Star, then you must have seen The King of Comedy by Stephen Chow?"

"I've seen them all." Jiang Feng answered truthfully.

"I've seen it all, why don't you recognize me?"

It has to be said that Zhang Baizhi was willful and capricious when she was young. Seeing her personality now, it is not difficult to understand why she would directly stand up King Liu when they were filming a movie.

"Jiang Feng, what are you talking about?"

Since Zhang Baizhi and Jiang Feng were speaking Cantonese at a fast speed, Zhao Laonian couldn't hear what they were saying.

I just noticed that there was something wrong with the emotions of both sides.

"She said she loved me and couldn't live without me. I said it was impossible for you to love me because I already had a girlfriend." At this time, Jiang Feng spoke in Sichuan dialect.

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Teacher Song, who was sitting opposite him, burst into laughter.

There was no need to ask. Just by looking at Teacher Song's expression, Jiang Feng knew that she should understand Cantonese. Even if she couldn't speak it, she could at least understand it.

Although he was not quite sure what Jiang Feng and Zhang Baizhi had just talked about, when he saw Teacher Song laughing and heard Jiang Feng's retelling, Zhao Laonian could naturally hear the sarcasm in his words, so he laughed and pointed at Zhang Baizhi.

“Jiang Feng, although you have filmed in Hong Kong Island and know many local colleagues, you may not be familiar with her.

Now, let me introduce to you this, this is Cecilia Cheung. The Hong Kong media said that she is the most beautiful queen in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past 30 years.

Bai Zhi, I don’t think I need to introduce this guy to you. The movie “The Departed” directed by him just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, and also the Best Adapted Screenplay Award…”

"Tsk, what's so great about that?"

Before Zhao Laonian finished speaking, Zhang Baizhi raised her hand, picked up the beer glass in front of her, and said in her half-baked Cantonese:

"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much for letting me come over to eat. Thank you. I'll drink first as a sign of respect."
