Chapter 737 Chapter 736, Where the enemy goes, I can go too
Queen's Chamber
Lu Jianmin was still surprised when he entered the room.

Jiang Feng who played the emperor, Song Xiaoying who played the empress dowager, Yu Feihong who played Princess Pingyang, and actors who played many concubines and ladies filled the outer hall, all with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Lu Jianmin, Song Xiaoying said with unprecedented intimacy:
"Guan Nei Hou has come just in time, but it's hard for your sister! The court finally has a prince!"

Jiang Feng couldn't help but be delighted: "Great! Great! Great! What a great event!"

Yu Feihong said: "Your Majesty, you have to thank me!"

As she was speaking, the midwife came out with the baby in her arms and people gathered around.

"Crack!"

"Let's shoot this scene again, Yu Feihong, Yu Feihong!" After the director Hu Mei stopped shooting, he said with a walkie-talkie in his hand:

"Yu Feihong, you are Princess Pingyang. It's right for you to be happy that your brother has a prince, but you're overacting a bit. You're acting like a matchmaker."

"Ha ha…"

Hearing Hu Mei's teasing, Yu Feihong immediately laughed.

"I'm sorry, director. Let's do this scene again."

"TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" is given 2756 scenes, 2nd take, 2nd time, ready..., go."

...

Song Xiaoying laughed and said, "They say nephews look like their uncles. This is true. He looks exactly like Wei Qing!"

“It is.”

Everyone who came to see the child turned around to look for Lu Jianmin.

But at this time, Lu Jianmin was gone.

Jiang Feng frowned and asked, "Where is Zhongqing? Where did he go?"

Everyone was surprised.

Li Danjun, who played Chuntuo, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Guannei Hou just left!"

When Jiang Feng heard this, he was stunned at first, and then became slightly angry.

"This is the bad thing about Wei Qing. He is always so cautious and always keeps something between him and me."

.........

After returning from the United States, Jiang Feng's days on the crew became monotonous.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I went to the crew to put on makeup, waiting for a new day of filming. When I came back at night, I locked myself in the room, without turning on the lights, but lighting a candle. Then I sat quietly on the balcony, reading "Records of the Grand Historian" in the dim candlelight.

Jiang Feng had read through the "Chronicle of Emperor Wu" in "Records of the Grand Historian", and then the "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han" and "Zizhi Tongjian". As long as there was a part about Emperor Wu of Han, Jiang Feng had read it carefully.

The purpose is to truly get into the role of Emperor Wu of Han!

At first, Yu Feihong, who lived in the same room with her man, was a little scared, fearing that her man would become obsessed with acting.

There was a light in the room, but this guy insisted on lighting a candle.

You have to know that in this world, there are many actors who cannot get out of their roles because of acting, and some actors even pay with their lives for it.

However, every time Yu Feihong came to test whether her man was normal, he would always push her down on the balcony and give her a good lesson...

And then, and then..., Yu Feihong realized that her man was very healthy!

Of course, when Jiang Feng is concentrating on studying the role, he still has the opportunity to care about the people and things around him.

On April 2003, 4, Jiang Feng paid attention to the Internet all day. It was not until 1 o'clock in the evening when there was still no news about Zhang Guorong on the Internet. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that history had been changed by him.

On April 2003, 4, Jiang Feng received an invitation from the organizing committee of the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards, saying that the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony originally scheduled for April 22 would be held as scheduled. The organizing committee hoped that Jiang Feng, who was nominated for Best Actor, would be able to attend on time, but there was no way, as the filming schedule of "The Emperor of Han Wu" was too tight.

In addition, the situation in Hong Kong Island is getting worse and worse, and everyone has to be isolated whether they are leaving or entering the crew. Therefore, Jiang Feng can only ask producer Li Xing to wear full body protection and participate on his behalf...

Well, it’s not bad. Even though Jiang Feng did not attend in person, on the evening of April 4, the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee still awarded Jiang Feng the Best Actor award!
In the words of Shum Kin-hun, host of the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, director Jiang Feng's performance in the film "Infernal Affairs" was textbook-level, and not giving him the Best Actor award would be unsatisfactory.

In response, Jiang Feng called that night to express his gratitude.

On May 2003, 5, Jiang Feng, who had mottled old-age makeup on his face, was filming the scene in which Crown Prince Liu Ju committed suicide when he received a text message from his nephew Wang Haoyu.

[Uncle, I have good news for you. My aunt gave birth to a boy, a normal birth, weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces. He looks so handsome, white and chubby. Um, my aunt is still in the delivery room. ]

[But don't worry, uncle, my sixth aunt came back from Dongguan a week ago. Now she is here to serve us, so there is no problem at all.]

[Hmm..., I just realized now that my sixth aunt was my aunt's personal assistant before. However, now my sixth aunt has completely become a big boss and has 4 assistants under her.]

My nephew Wang Haoyu is currently a freshman in college. Maybe he has never encountered such a happy event, so his words were not focused. The first thing he talked about was having children, and then he talked about his sixth aunt Jiang Ye.

However, Jiang Feng still found time to reply to his text message.

[Haoyu, I'm filming now and can't go back. You're a man, you have to shoulder some of the burdens of life. Buy some fruit, buy some milk, and arrange a caregiver for your aunt. I believe you can do all of this.]

Jiang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after the text message was sent.

Fortunately, Wang Fei was strictly required during this period and was not allowed to stay up late, play mahjong, smoke or drink. As a result, she had a very healthy child.

Of course, it is also possible that the problem occurred with the silly Yapeng in the previous life. It is said that he and Mr. Kunikasa's son had the same hobby, but he was just lucky.

On May 2003, 5, actress Song Jia, who had been filming "The Emperor of Han Wu" for three and a half months, left Hengdian and did not go home, but went directly to Cao County in southwest Shandong.

There is only one purpose, to experience life.

As early as May 5, director Zhang Yimou and his assistant set out from Beijing and went to a place called Zhuzhuang in Sunlaojia Town, Cao County.

This time, Song Jia went there to meet up with him.

In fact, Yu Feihong also liked the script of Hidden in the Dust very much. She even asked Jiang Feng at night, "How about giving the role of Cao Guiying to me?", but Jiang Feng refused without even thinking about it.

The reason is simple. Yu Feihong, who was born and raised in the city, simply does not have the energy of a rural woman.

If you insist on acting, then you are just "acting".

On May 2003, 5, three days after her son was born, Wang Fei, in a good mood, called from Beijing and said that it was time to name the child and the doctor wanted to issue a birth certificate.

【Jiang Zijue】

This is the name Jiang Feng gave his son. When Wang Fei saw this name, she was confused at first, but then she became curious and asked during the call:
"Jiang Feng, is there any meaning in naming your son this?"

At that time, Jiang Feng replied her on the phone.

"It doesn't make any sense. I just think the name [Jiang Zijue] sounds nice and has an artistic feel."

But after hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng sent text messages to Yu Feihong who had just left the crew, Wang Zuxian who was currently living a quiet life in Taoyuan County, Formosa Province, and Izumi Sakai who was living in Tokyo.

[Change your son's name. His name is Jiang Ziwei.]

[Change your son's name. His name is Jiang Zizhong.]

[Change your son's name. His name is Jiang Zihua.]

Originally, Jiang Feng thought it would take some time to explain, but the results were very consistent.

[Haha, it's rare that you, an Oscar winner for Best Director, actually take the initiative to name your son! ]

Of course, sarcasm is sarcasm!

Everyone was very cooperative and changed their names, or used the name Jiang Feng gave to her son as an alias, like Sakai Izumi, her son's full name was Puchi Zifeng, and the registered Chinese name was Jiang Zihua. …

In this way, time passed day by day.

June soon arrived, and in early June, the weather in Hengdian, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, was already very hot.

For example, stray dogs on the roadside dare not wander around at noon. All they can do is lie under the sycamore trees on both sides of the street and stick out their tongues to cool off.

As the epidemic gradually passed and people's lives returned to normal, more and more film crews began to shoot in Hengdian.

It is rumored that on June 6 alone, there were as many as 1 film crews starting work at the same time.

As more crews started working, more extras came, and the streets of Hengdian became bustling again, with people selling clothes, snacks, and fruits, and standing in the alleys smoking and saying that they could open bottle caps in ways you would never expect...

It has everything!
Hearing that a large number of film crews had started working in Hengdian, Wang Guoqiang, a nearby villager who had some business acumen, rented a 4-meter van and brought a whole truckload of watermelons.

Originally, he wanted to rent a 9-meter truck, but he was afraid that the watermelons would not be able to sell because the business had just started, so he only rented half a truck to test the waters.

But when the van arrived at Wansheng South Street and Wang Guoqiang opened the door, he saw a young man in big shorts and an old man's shirt walking towards him. The young man had a black glasses frame on his nose and looked gentle and refined!
“Selling watermelons?”

“Selling watermelons!”

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"It's the first batch of melons. They're very sweet, but the price is a bit high, 8 cents."

"Well, okay, I'll give you 9 cents and you help me deliver it." The young man just reached out and patted the watermelon and said with a smile.

"How much do you want?"

Wang Guoqiang knows how to do business. If you want two or three hundred kilograms, I can deliver it to you. If you only want one or two, you can give me an extra dollar per kilogram and I won’t deliver the goods.

"How many pounds are these watermelons?"

"Three and a half tons, um, that's 7000 kilograms."

"Okay, I'll take them all." The young man was quite generous. He took out 10 hundred-dollar bills from the pocket of his shorts and handed them over.

"This is a 1000 yuan deposit. Take the watermelon to the Qin Palace in Hengdian World Studios and hand it over to the crew of "The Emperor of Han Wu", and I will give you the rest of the money."

"Good good!!!"

Wang Guoqiang was very happy to meet a big customer on his first business trip. He closed the rear door of the cargo box and quickly got into the cab.

I’m afraid this kid will go back on his word.

But when he sat in the driver's seat and looked at the young man walking towards Hengdian Film and Television City in front of him, he suddenly slapped his head.

Damn... Jiang Feng, no wonder he is so generous!

...

I filmed a night scene yesterday, so I got up late today.

Jiang Feng didn't get up until 11 o'clock in the morning.

But it doesn’t matter. According to the shooting notice, Jiang Feng’s last few scenes in the "Emperor of Han Wu" crew were scheduled to be filmed at two o'clock this afternoon.

There is still time.

After having lunch in the restaurant of Hengdian International Convention Center Hotel, Jiang Feng walked out of the door.

After going out, he wanted to take a car there, but when he saw a watermelon seller not far away, Jiang Feng bought all the watermelons in the car.

Today, the filming of my drama is about to be wrapped. As the absolute leading actor, I should treat everyone to something to eat.

Well, this is basically the rule for the crews filming in Hengdian. For example, when Chen Daoming was filming "Kangxi Empire" here, he treated the entire crew to Coke.

Jiang Feng was strolling towards the filming site at the Qin Palace, thinking about all sorts of anecdotes from the various crews, when suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.

I took it out and looked at it, and saw that it was Hu Mei calling.

"Director, don't worry. I will be able to reach the shooting site in about 20 minutes." After the call was connected, Jiang Feng said to Hu Mei with a smile.

"Yeah..., it's okay!"

Hu Mei on the phone seemed a little hesitant.

"Jiang Feng, I'm not urging you to come over and put on makeup, but I want to ask you something private?"

"Say!"

"I just want to ask you, do you still want to buy a house?"

"Well, Director Hu, what do you mean? Are you having any trouble?"

"Yes!" Hu Mei on the phone was very frank.

"Tell me…"

"Jiang Feng, you know that 80% of the scenes in our TV series "Emperor Wu of Han" have been filmed. The remaining 20% ​​are basically set on the grasslands, and the scenes on the grasslands are all large-scale. Apart from other things, there are almost a thousand horses used, and there are also extras. Without 1000 extras in a scene, it is impossible to pull off such a large-scale scene."

"Director, what do you want to say?"

"The budget is not enough. The original budget was 4500 million RMB, but now the crew only has 200 million RMB left in cash."

Haven't you signed the contracts for the first, second, and even third rounds of broadcast rights for "The Emperor of Han Wu"? You even held a celebration party before. You know, you received 2 million just from the deposits from these TV stations...

He wanted to say this, but in an instant, Jiang Feng shut his mouth.

The broadcasting rights have already been sold. According to the contract amount, "The Emperor Wu of Han" is bound to make money. In this case, Hu Mei, as the director, is naturally no fool.

I'm investing my money now. I can't say I'm a major shareholder of this TV series, but at least I can gnaw on some bones while others are eating the meat.

After figuring out the twists and turns, Jiang Feng, who was about to walk to the gate of Prince Qin's Palace, stopped.

"How much do you need?"

"1000 million!"

"Well, let's put it this way, Director. Don't sell your house. I'll find someone to lend you 1000 million yuan, and the interest will be calculated based on the bank's interest rate for the same period."

"This works!"

Hu Mei was very happy on the phone. With 1000 million RMB, he wouldn't have to pay much interest in three months, but the money he earned would not be the to million originally agreed upon.

But at this time, Hu Mei heard Jiang Feng laugh and say, "Director, I guess the person who lends you the money will put forward some conditions."

"For example..."

"For example, she hopes that her sister can play the leading female role in your next TV series, 'Qiao Family Courtyard.'" After saying that, Jiang Feng hung up the phone.

This is the bad thing about having too many women.

You have to think about paving the way for this woman, think about paving the way for that woman, and then think about paving the way for that woman's sister.

Damn..., one word, difficult?!
Just as I was expressing my feelings, Ren Wei, the deputy director of the "Emperor Wu of Han" crew, ran out from the gate of the Qin Palace.

"Brother Feng, you're here. Today we're going to shoot the 1th episode for our first scene. That's the scene where Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che uses the phrase 'If the enemy can go, so can I' to boost the morale of his soldiers.'"
