Entertainment 1998

Chapter 739 Chapter 738, Return to Beijing

it's over!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the square in front of the Qin Palace, the last shot of a desolate and lonely back view was completed, and Jiang Feng's journey in the crew of "The Emperor of Han Wu" came to an end.

The reason why it is called a journey is that Jiang Feng really regards himself as the great monarch from 2000 years ago ~ Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and then he plays the role from his 16-year-old boyhood until his death.

Its difficulty is comparable to that of Wu Zetian played by Liu Xiaoqing. In 95, Grandma Liu played the teenage Wu Zetian at the age of 43, and continued to play the role until she issued an edict to abdicate.

Director Hu Mei is very nice!
Although the crew of "The Emperor of Han Wu" had already helped Jiang Feng celebrate the completion of the filming before the shooting, when Jiang Feng took off his makeup and came out of the dressing room, he saw the red carpet again, but the red carpet had changed direction. It originally turned towards the Qin Palace, but now it turned towards the square in front of the Qin Palace.

In the square, a white business car was parked quietly, waiting to take Jiang Feng back to the hotel.

The other actors and staff in the crew of "The Emperor Wu of Han" stayed to continue filming.

"Brother Feng, happy finishing!"

"Brother Feng, happy cooperation!"

"Brother Feng, we are looking forward to the opportunity to work with you again?"

On both sides of the red carpet, there were still crew members. Two or three hundred of them lined up in two rows, applauding together to see Jiang Feng off.

Feeling a little touched, Jiang Feng started to ask.

"Where are the flowers?"

"It's too hot today. The flowers I prepared for you at noon have wilted in the afternoon." Director Hu Mei seems to be a straightforward person. He said whatever he wanted to say and laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

"Okay then. I'm leaving."

Walking on the red carpet, Jiang Feng bowed to the staff who had worked with him for five or six months, and then quickly walked towards the business car.

However, Jiang Feng had just walked up to the business car and was about to open the door to get in when he saw Hu Mei, who was walking with him, take out a bank card from his pocket.

"What?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Jiang Feng, according to the contract, your salary for the filming of "The Emperor of Han Wu" is 200 million RMB, and your current market value has far exceeded this number.

So as a director, I can't treat you unfairly. There is 600 million in this card. I prepared it for you in advance. It's your bonus."

groove…

Jiang Feng, who had long since cultivated himself into a human spirit, almost burst into swearing when he heard director Hu Mei's explanation.

I am such an excellent actor. I live an honest life and act diligently. I have never provoked anyone, and no one has ever provoked me. How come I have to settle your accounts? !

In the morning, you said that the budget of the crew had exceeded and additional investment was needed, and you invested your own money into it. As a result, in the evening, you gave me a bonus of 600 million RMB. Isn't this helping you to settle the account? !

It's no wonder that Han Shanye couldn't help but applaud when his buddies were acting this afternoon...

He was not applauding at all. As the main investor of "The Emperor Wu of Han", he was clearly warning certain people not to go too far.

However, even though he had sorted out the twists and turns, Jiang Feng still accepted the bank card. The reason was simple: this was what he deserved!
What's more, even if she didn't take the money, Hu Mei would find reasons to distribute the money to others. Well, in a word, the fact must be established that the budget has been exceeded. If she doesn't invest the money, the entire crew will have to shut down.

"Then, thank you, director!" Jiang Feng took the bank card with a smile on his face and put it in his pocket.

"Why thank you? We are all family. Oh, by the way, Jiang Feng, please don't forget to consider starring in Qiao Family Courtyard."

Seeing Jiang Feng coming up, Hu Mei, with a bright smile, pushed him into the business car. Of course, before closing the door, she did not forget to remind him again:
"Jiang Feng, you must consider my next TV drama project, Qiao Family Courtyard."

Does "Qiao Family Courtyard" need to be considered?
No need to think about it at all!

He didn't even take on a quality TV series like "Kangxi Dynasty", so how could he take on something like this?

Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head, then told the driver to drive away.

But just as the business car drove out of the Qin Palace scenic area, Jiang Feng's cell phone vibrated.

[Jiang Feng, I'll be waiting for you at Jinzhou Hotel.]

...

Jin Zhou Hotel
Jiang Feng is here again.

The last time I came here was in March. Before leaving for the United States, I had a small gathering with Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and Hu Mei in this restaurant.

At that time, Jiang Feng cooked the dish himself.

Unexpectedly, Han Shanye actually held the gathering place for the two of them here again.

Fortunately, when Jiang Feng walked into the restaurant, he found that it was already full of guests.

If a restaurant is crowded, it means the chef is good.

I believe that this time, I finally don’t have to cook by myself.

Han Shanye is a big shot in the industry, and big shots have their own aura. As long as he sits down in his seat, no one dares to come over.

After all, people who eat in restaurants like Hengdian are either extras or assistants to an actor or director, and they all know Han Shanye.

Therefore, Jiang Feng only needed to stand in the restaurant to spot him sitting by the window.

"Boss Han, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

"It's okay, I just arrived."

Han Shanye smiled and motioned Jiang Feng to sit opposite him.

"Jiang Feng, did Hu Mei give you the money?"

Just after pulling open the seat and putting the bag beside him, Jiang Feng heard Han Shanye suddenly ask this question.

"Oh, I gave it to you!"

"Just give it to her, if she doesn't give it to you, I'll ask her for it.

An actor who has won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director spent five months acting in a TV series and was only paid 5 million RMB. This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it. "Han Shanye said as he poured tea for Jiang Feng.

After hearing Han Shanye's words, Jiang Feng's impression of Director Hu Mei deepened.

I really didn't expect that Director Hu Mei's first choice for settling accounts was not myself, but others. For example, adding some special effects to the costume TV series. Just adding one item would cost a lot of money.

"Um..., Mr. Han, thank you!"

To understand the key, Jiang Feng toasted Han Shanye with tea instead of wine.

“You’re welcome. We are all brothers. As your brother, I can’t just watch you suffer in silence.” It was the first time that 50-year-old Han Shanye called 25-year-old Jiang Feng a brother, but it was very smooth and natural.

Jiang Feng didn't say anything, just listened to him continue. "As your brother, I won't hide it from you. I came to Hengdian this time because Hu Mei said that the budget for "The Emperor of Han Wu" was not enough and needed to increase investment. As the main investor of this film, I had to come to verify it.
Second, I would like to thank you on behalf of the leadership for entrusting the "robot" project in the movie "Transformers" to Harbin Institute of Technology, which will undoubtedly promote the development of domestic scientific research teams.

When my boss heard about this, he called me right away and said that China needs directors like Jiang Feng, and that we should take advantage of good things.”

"Ha ha…"

Han Shanye spoke wittily and Jiang Feng laughed.

"Well, the leader's words are reasonable, you just need to know it. Also, this meal is paid for by her personally." As he said that, Han Shanye took out 500 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table. Along with the money, he also put a piece of paper with a mobile phone number and the word "Wu" written in an elegant handwriting.

"Boss Han, this is..."

"This is the leader's cell phone number. She wrote it down for you and asked me to tell you. You can write it down. If you have any problems in the future, you can call her directly."

"Um...thank you."

Although he was a little hesitant, Jiang Feng still put the note into his pocket. It was not because he wanted to curry favor with someone powerful, but because this kind of phone number would be very useful at a critical moment.

What can you eat with 500 yuan?
Six dishes, plus a bottle of Yiwu Moutai.

Yiwu Xiao Maotai is actually a nickname given to Shaojiudu Liquor by the common people in Dongyang area of ​​Yiwu. Local people usually use this kind of liquor when entertaining guests at dinner or at wedding banquets.

Jiang Feng has drunk quite a few times while filming here. Well, how should I put it?

If you taste it carefully, the taste of this wine is really similar to Moutai.

However, what surprised Jiang Feng was not these, but the six dishes served by the owner of this restaurant.

The six dishes are scrambled eggs with green onions, cold lotus root slices, pickled cabbage with vinegar, spicy fried pork head, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, and oil-drizzled lettuce.

Seeing them, Jiang Feng also smiled. Three months ago, his buddy made these 3 dishes here.

Raising his hand, Jiang Feng wanted to call the boss over to ask, but at this time, Han Shanye pointed at the wall of the restaurant.

There is a large menu hanging on the wall, basically taking up half of the wall. The menu is simple, with only photos of 6 dishes, but the text content above the photos is extremely rich.

[Jiang Feng’s private recipe.]

Jiang Feng is a world-class pop star, winner of the Taiwan Golden Horse Award, the Hong Kong Film Award, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, the Academy Award for Best Director, and the Academy Award for Best Picture.

At 3 p.m. on March 11, before Jiang Feng left for the United States to attend the Academy Awards, someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night and said that he wanted to cook six dishes in the shop and invite director Zhang Yimou and others to have a drink.

The six dishes are scrambled eggs with green onions, cold lotus root slices, pickled cabbage, and spicy fried pork head...】

Ha ha…

Seeing the introduction on the menu on the wall, Jiang Feng laughed. The owner of this restaurant was really a clever guy. He directly linked his buddy's wonderful performance at the Oscars with the six dishes in his restaurant.

According to the restaurant owner's introduction in the menu, it was because of eating these six dishes at Jin Zhou Restaurant that the guy was able to slay at the Academy Awards ceremony.

Haha..., no wonder, the guilty restaurant owner ran to the kitchen as soon as he served all the dishes.

"Let him take this thing down?" Han Shanye asked.

"Why take it down? What he said is true." Jiang Feng shook his head.

To be honest, Jiang Feng is not too disgusted with this kind of skirting the law behavior. Maybe after spreading for a long time, it can also become a good story.

…………

No delay in Hengdian!

On the evening of June 6rd, I had a drink with Han Shanye at Jinzhou Hotel.

Early the next morning, Jiang Feng took a car to Lin'an, then boarded a plane at Lin'an Xiaoshan International Airport and returned directly to Beijing.

When I left the capital, I was still wearing a thick down jacket and there was heavy snow falling from the sky.

When I returned to Beijing from outside, it was already a hot summer. The beautiful girls had already changed into various hot pants and youthful-looking skirts to show off their proud figures.

This is the case with Fan Jiuyi who came to pick me up at the airport!
A black long dress makes her look sexy and charming.

"Brother Feng, how am I? I look pretty good, right?"

At the entrance of the terminal building of Beijing International Airport, Fan Jiuyi, who was wearing sunglasses on her nose and had fiery red lips, turned around lightly when she saw Jiang Feng.

"Well, that's good, but you are not suitable to be an actor now." After looking the beauty up and down, Jiang Feng commented while putting the luggage into the trunk of the car.

“How can I not be suitable to be an actor?

Brother Feng, you know, I just finished filming the movie "Cell Phone". During the filming, whether it was director Feng Xiaogang or Zhang Guoli and Ge You, they all praised my performance and said that I had made great progress. "Fan Jiuyi pouted, a little annoyed.

Li Xing took the crew to Cao County in southwestern Shandong. Wang Fei was at home recuperating after giving birth, and her agent Wang Jinghua had to discuss a project and didn’t have time to come over…

I came to pick you up in this situation, and you still said this to me, isn't that a bit too much? !

Facing the petty Fan Jiuyi, Jiang Feng just shook his head and smiled, opened the car door, and took the initiative to sit in the driving seat.

"Student Fan Jiuyi, actors need to observe life, how can you observe life when you are wearing sunglasses?

Also, you are wearing Chanel, holding Dior in your hand, and with Van Cleef & Arpels around your neck, this outfit alone costs at least 80 RMB.

Let me ask you, how can you integrate yourself into the lives of ordinary people in your current condition?
If you can’t integrate into their lives, how can your film and television works move them? Just rely on your own imagination? "

"Uh…"

She wanted to refute, but when Fan Jiuyi opened her mouth, she found that she had nothing to say.

"If you have time, learn from Yu Feihong. In her daily life, she wears jeans that cost 200 yuan a pair and a coat that costs 300 yuan. If she wasn't afraid of being photographed by paparazzi with a haggard face, she wouldn't even wear sunglasses.

Well, Charlize Theron, Gao Yuanyuan, and Wang Fei are all like this.

For events, you dress up nicely and present a wonderful self in the media and magazines, but in your daily life, you have to do whatever makes you feel comfortable.”

Having said this, Jiang Feng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, if you want to position yourself as a star rather than an actor, just pretend I didn't say that."

"Yeah... I understand, Brother Feng!"

Jiang Feng explained it clearly, and Fan Jiuyi, who was crying just now, smiled brightly at this time.
