Entertainment 1998

Chapter 730 Chapter 729, The Highest Etiquette of the Oscar Awards Ceremony

Emperor Wu of Han, Palace
Jiang Feng was being helped to put on his court robes by a beautiful female extra.

Li Danjun, who played Chuntuo, walked in and said, "The prime minister and other ministers are waiting for your majesty in the Xuanshi Hall!"

Jiang Feng frowned slightly and said, "Let them wait a little longer."

At this time, Lu Jianmin, who played Wei Qing, and Ma Yong, who played Han Yan, walked in.

Seeing them, Jiang Feng, who was getting dressed, said, "You came at the right time. Do you know Liu Bi, the one who caused the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion? Liu Tao had a prince named Liu Ju. After Liu Bi was killed, Liu Ju fled from Dong'ou to Minyue. He has been thinking about revenge for 16 years. Recently, under his instigation, Minyue King Luo Ying led his army to attack Dong'ou and has occupied most of Dong'ou's territory. Dong'ou King sent Hongling to Chang'an to ask for help from the Han court. The ancestor handed over the court discussion of this matter to me. You see, what should we do!"

...

Jiang Feng is filming.

Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, who got up early, suddenly came to the shooting site.

China Film Corporation is the largest investor in "The Emperor of Han Wu". Han Shanye, as the producer, came to inspect the filming of the TV series and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, classmates of director Hu Mei and good friends of lead actor Jiang Feng, came to visit the set and there seemed to be no problem.

What made assistant director Ren Wei alert was that Song Jia, who played Wei Zifu in the play, seemed to be very interested in these three big guys.

Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and Han Shanye had just sat down behind the director's monitor when this beautiful woman in ancient costume walked over with a sweet smile. She first handed them water, then cigarettes, and finally sat down next to the three big guys and chatted with them.

The reason why Ren Wei was alert was not because he had a crush on this 1-meter-tall beauty, but because Song Jia seemed to be deliberately disrupting Jiang Feng's acting.

It's been a month since this happened.

Whether it is on the set of "The Emperor of Han Wu" or at the Hengdian International Convention Center Hotel, this beauty always acts like a demon whenever she meets Jiang Feng.

No matter what Song Jia was doing at the time, she would always chat and laugh with other men affectionately at the first opportunity, and sometimes she would even hug other men's arms directly.

Just like the day before yesterday in the restaurant, Jiang Feng was sitting opposite him, eating dinner, and this beautiful woman ran over to sit down, then leaned on his shoulder affectionately and said, "Director Ren Wei, you are so handsome!"

At first, Ren Wei didn’t understand this behavior and just felt that this beauty was sick!

But after a few days, Ren Wei understood.

Is this beauty using this method to test whether Jiang Feng is interested in her?
Of course, it could also be revenge. Jiang Feng, I knocked on your door and you ignored me, so I will smile to all the men in the crew.

Thinking of this, the clever Ren Wei intentionally or unintentionally used his body to block Song Jia from Jiang Feng.

Well, that's all. Jiang Feng can't see Song Jia, so his heart won't be disturbed, and he won't have any other emotions...

Jiang Feng's emotions were stable, so the scenes this morning were definitely done in one take.

As Ren Wei was thinking about it, he saw the female script supervisor standing at the shooting scene raise the clapperboard in her hand again.

"TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" Scene 1120, Shot 1, Time 1, Ready..., Go."

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi
Lin Zhonghua, who plays the Prime Minister Xu Chang, Guo Xirui, who plays the Imperial Censor Zhuang Qingzhai, Sun Jifeng, who plays the Imperial Physician Shi Qing, and other important ministers are anxiously waiting in the palace.

Li Danjun walked in.

Everyone asked hurriedly: "Has the emperor arrived?"

Li Danjun said: "The emperor said that whether the court should use foreign troops is a major national event and requires full discussion among the ministers, dukes, and royal family members, so it is more appropriate to hold a court discussion in the form of a noon court." After saying that, he withdrew.

All the ministers were a little surprised.

Guo Xichuai frowned and said, "The emperor is unwilling to resolve the issue in a small area. It is obvious that he has a prejudice against us."

……

The filming lasted a whole morning and was basically a group scene. Jiang Feng didn't have much room to perform and he just had to show his majesty as an emperor.

In fact, according to Jiang Feng's idea, he wanted to shoot the 40th episode of "The Emperor of Han Wu" in front of the three brothers Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei.

According to the script, there is a very classic scene in episode 40, and it is in this classic scene that Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said the words that inspired countless Chinese people:
"The enemy can go, so can I!"

For this reason, before filming, Jiang Feng specially communicated with director Hu Mei, "I have been preparing for this highlight in episode 40 for a month. How about we shoot this scene first?"
However, Hu Mei, a very unique female director, disagreed no matter what!
"Jiang Feng, I will save the scene you mentioned for the day the TV series is officially wrapped up. If it doesn't pass once, I'll shoot it twice. If it doesn't pass twice, I'll shoot it four times, until I get an effect that makes the on-site staff and extras excited!"

After hearing Hu Mei's solemn oath, Jiang Feng, who had originally wanted to fool her with "Qiao Family Courtyard", gave up the idea.

Hmm..., should we wait until the last day to film this part? !

12 noon
After finishing the filming, Jiang Feng removed his makeup and went to the restaurant of Hengdian International Convention Center Hotel with Zhang Yimou, Han Shanye and Gu Changwei for a simple lunch. Jiang Feng went upstairs to pick up his luggage and then took a car to Xiaoshan International Airport.

At the airport, we basically didn't stay any longer and the group of four boarded a flight to Shanghai.

There was no way. In the early 21st century, there were no direct flights from Xiaoshan International Airport to Los Angeles, USA, so everyone could only transfer in Shanghai.

But it was not bad. Jiang Feng, Han Shanye, Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou were all talkative people, and they were sitting together in the first class cabin. The four of them chatted in the first class cabin, and it wasn't too lonely on the long flight.

According to the general public's thinking, Han Shanye, Gu Changwei, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Feng are all film and television practitioners. When they sit together, they will definitely talk about movies, dramas, and various arts.

But in fact, whether on the flight from Lin'an to Shanghai, or from Shanghai to Los Angeles, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and Han Shanye had been talking about a woman, Song Jia!

"This girl is good, has personality, dares to think and act, and should be a good candidate to be an actress."

"This girl is good. She has a great figure and is 1 meters tall. Even in the modeling industry, her temperament is not inferior to others. I remember the last actress who impressed me was Qu Ying."

"This girl is good at it. She knows how to break down and build up. She told me on the set of "The Emperor of Han Wu" that being an actor should be like a jerk. You should be brave enough to try and not take the usual path. The teachers at the art academy teach you a lot of knowledge, but I think these are just rules and regulations.

So, when I was in school, my favorite thing to do was to chase chickens when the teacher asked me to beat the dog, and no one could persuade me, haha..."

At the beginning, Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the first class cabin, wanted to sleep. How could he not sleep on a long-distance flight of more than ten hours?

However, Jiang Feng couldn't fall asleep when he lay down.

Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and Han Shanye kept chattering nearby. This was the first-class cabin of the plane, with only four seats.

If there were other people in the first class cabin, I believe these three guys would have been beaten because they seriously disturbed others' rest.

Ok…

After enduring for an hour, Jiang Feng could no longer bear it when he saw that the three old men were still talking about her. He sat up and said:
"Boss Han, Director, I'm officially informing you that Gong Li has rejected the film I was going to shoot in June this year, Hidden in the Dust. She said she is not ready to work with Director Zhang Yimou again.

Therefore, the leading actress needs to be changed."

"Oh, who's the next one?" The three people were curious at the same time.

This film was finally approved by the higher authorities and was allowed to be filmed according to the original script. Director Zhang Yimou has also made a formal plan and will go to Sunlaojia Town, Cao County to experience life in May.

But at this time, unexpectedly, Gong Li still rejected the role of the heroine.

"It's the girl you were just talking about. You think she's good, and I think she's good too, so let's use her."

After saying this, without waiting for the three guys in front of him to react, Jiang Feng picked up the headphones next to him, put them on his head, and then lay down on the chair.

Speaking of which, Song Jia is really awesome!

It was just that on the set of "The Emperor of Han Wu", he used the break time to chat with Zhang Yimou, Han Shanye and Gu Changwei for an hour or two, and he aroused the hearts of these three guys.

Haha..., no wonder, Zhang Li, who is a classmate of Gu Changwei and Zhang Yimou, would be fascinated by this girl named Song Jia.

[Hollywood Reporter:

The 75th Academy Awards ceremony will be held tomorrow night.

The three films with the most nominations, "Chicago", "Gangs of New York" and "The Departed", have attracted much attention.

In the betting market in Las Vegas, the movie "Chicago" has the lowest odds of winning the Best Picture and Best Director awards, which are 1:1.05.

The odds of "The Departed" by Chinese film director Jiang Feng being the highest in the betting market are 1:3.6 for this film to win the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.

In other words, as long as "The Departed" wins these two awards, bettors can get 1 US dollars for every US dollar they bet.

...]

[BuzzFeed:

The reason why "The Departed", "Hero" and "Departures" were all nominated for this year's Academy Awards.

The movie channel from China National Television had already set up camp at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills two days ago.

They planned to broadcast the grand ceremony live in China as soon as possible. It is said that the China National Television Film Channel paid 120 million US dollars to the Academy Awards Organizing Committee for the broadcast fee alone...】

【Entertainment Weekly：

Harvey Weinstein, the founder of Miramax Films, angrily stated in an interview with reporters last night:

Oscar, you must give an explanation to movie fans around the world.

There are rumors like this in Los Angeles before the awards ceremony even takes place.

Roman Polanski will win the Best Director Award for "The Pianist", Adrien Brody will win the Best Actor Award for "The Pianist", and Nicole Kidman will win the Best Actress Award for "The Hours"...】

Los Angeles International Airport

Charlize Theron is at it again.

After arriving at the place and parking the car in the parking lot, seeing that there was still time, Charlize Theron started reading the entertainment newspaper by herself.

The Academy Awards ceremony is about to be held, which is a big event worldwide, so the entertainment newspapers that usually only report celebrity gossip are paying attention to this matter today.

Different from the past, many American media have focused on local films and local stars, but this time, everyone has focused on Jiang Feng.

Because in the history of Hollywood, this has never happened before, a film director has three works nominated for the same Academy Awards.

After reading six or seven minutes of the newspaper, Charlize Theron felt her eyes were a little tired, so she got out of the car and prepared to walk around the terminal.

Although it is not yet time, you can still go to the terminal and buy a cup of Coke and two hamburgers to fill your stomach first.

But just as she had this thought, Charlize Theron saw a black pickup truck driving towards her from a distance. The pickup truck was quite tall, and her majesty could be felt just by looking left and right.

Well, after I take on the movie "Transformers" and get the advance payment for my salary, I will buy myself a pickup truck like this.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Jiang Feng, he really likes this kind of majestic and domineering car.

Just as she was shaking her head and sighing, the black pickup truck stopped right at her feet.

"Hi, Charlize Theron!"

"Ugh, Matt!"

Charlize Theron felt very surprised when she saw that the person in the car was her good friend Matt Damon.

"Matt, did you change the car?"

“No, I bought a new one.

Didn't I hear that Director Jiang Feng particularly likes this kind of car? In the past, when we were sitting together and chatting, he often talked about this kind of car. Now I bought one and let him drive it in the United States. "At this point, Matt Damon suddenly stopped.

"Charlize, are they here yet?"

"Who is it?" asked the tall Charlize Theron.

"Of course it's George Clooney, Leonardo Dicaprio, Ben Affleck, Stuart Townsend and others."

"I didn't see them, what happened to them?"

Perhaps shocked by the car driven by Matt Damon, Charlize Theron was a little confused and seemed not to understand the situation.

"Nothing, we just agreed to come together to welcome Jiang Feng. After he gets off the plane, we will drive to Santa Monica Beach, rent a hotel nearby, and hold a crazy party to celebrate tomorrow's victory..."

It was such a coincidence that before Matt Damon could finish his words, he saw eight luxury cars of various types driving in from outside the parking lot.

Maserati, Aston Martin, Bugatti Veyron, Porsche 911 and more.

When this luxury convoy drove to the direction of Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, it braked immediately and opened the windows on the driver's side in unison.

When the car window was rolled down, eight heads popped out in unison, led by George Clooney.

"Charlize, has Jiang Feng arrived? If so, let's go to the terminal to meet him." said George Clooney.
