Entertainment 1998

Chapter 754 Chapter 753, Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong
Sun Honglei was happy!
He saw with his own eyes that Zhang Yimou and Gong Li had a quarrel in the threshing floor. As long as the relationship between these two people was not good, he would definitely have a chance.

But then, Sun Honglei was about to cry again.

Others received a bowl full of meatballs. Not to mention eating them, just smelling them was delicious.

But when it was Sun Honglei's turn, there were only three or five meatballs floating in the bowl besides the soup.

He wanted to catch the chef and ask him, "Are you discriminating against me?" But before he could say anything, Sun Honglei saw the baker in the blue coat swung the spoon.

"In our village, this is what happens to vagrants who don't work. It's enough to make sure they don't starve to death.

For example, you only harvested two and a half acres of wheat at noon, which is not as fast as the twelve or thirteen-year-old children in our village. It is enough to give you this much to eat."

wipe…

Not only was I discriminated against, I was also despised.

Sun Honglei, who had been in the underworld since he was fifteen or sixteen years old, felt that he could not tolerate it anymore and was determined to argue with the cook.

This is my first time harvesting wheat, and it is already very good if I can harvest two mu of land.

But as soon as Sun Honglei put down the rice bowl, the supervisor Song Jia came over quietly.

"Lao Sun, since we are from the same hometown, I will tell you an inside scoop. Do you see this big and strong cook?

Do you feel that he looks a bit like someone in the entertainment industry?

That’s right, it’s the famous producer Zhang Jizhong!
According to Director Jiang, he is Zhang Jizhong’s cousin, they are biological brothers, and they have the same grandfather.”

Ok…

Sun Honglei, who was about to get angry, suddenly laughed.

He picked up his rice bowl again and walked over happily.

"Hehe..., so you are Director Jizhong's brother. Speaking of Director Jizhong, I know him well. Director Jizhong called me a few days ago and said that he would start filming the martial arts drama "The Return of the Condor Heroes" soon, and he planned to let me play Yang Guo."

"Oh, is it so?
Are you really familiar with Jizhong?" The burly chef questioned the statement.

"Of course I'm very familiar with it. Have you seen the martial arts drama 'Swordsman' directed by Ji Zhong, in which Jiang Feng starred? I have a role in it." As an actor, Sun Honglei basically doesn't need to prepare a draft before he tells lies.

"Oh, really? Then we are acquaintances. Come on, I'll give you some more thick stuff. However, you still have to continue harvesting wheat in the afternoon, because the wheat you help harvest belongs to my family."

what…

Sun Honglei wanted to curse again.

I was wondering why you, old bastard, gave me so few meatballs. Turns out you complained that I wasn't working slowly for your family.

...

The Dragon King Temple at the west end of Zhuzhuang Village is nice.

After having breakfast here, Jiang Feng fell in love with this place. It was quiet and there were trees. When he squatted under the trees, he could feel the cool breeze.

Jiang Feng came over again for lunch.

However, Jiang Feng, who was holding the rice bowl, just walked over here, found a blue brick and sat on it, when Mr. Xie Fei and Professor Tian Zhuangzhuang came over together.

"Hello, Teacher Xie, Hello, Teacher Tian."

Seeing them, Jiang Feng immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Jiang Feng, you're welcome."

"Jiang Feng, let's sit down and eat while we talk."

Both Xie Fei and Tian Zhuangzhuang were people who had experienced a special period. They had both worked in rural areas and had done things like squatting against the wall to eat with a bowl in hand.

So the two of them were familiar with the place, and they each held their rice bowls and sat in a row with Jiang Feng, with a brick under each person's butt.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Thank you, teacher."

"I want to go back tomorrow."

"Well..., what's your urgent matter?" Jiang Feng was stunned.

I was originally thinking that when I go to the county town to film a movie in a few days, I would take my grandfather to see the customs and culture of Cao County.

But I didn't expect that he wanted to leave after only being here for two or three days.

"It's nothing urgent. I just feel like I can't teach you and it's a bit uncomfortable staying here." Xie Fei took two bites of the meatballs and put the rice bowl on the ground.

"Jiang Feng, you see, my specialty lies in filming techniques. For example, our crew wants to shoot a group of shots of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li working in the fields.

My advantage is that I can determine the depth of field in 5-10 minutes with the viewfinder. Should I shoot with a medium shot, close shot or long shot? Should I shoot straight down or from above? And how should I determine the composition of the picture, should it be symmetrical or split :?
But Jiang Feng, you probably already know everything I want to teach you, and you may even do better than me, as if you already have a ready-made picture in your mind.

When I get to the set, I know exactly how to shoot it, without even using a viewfinder.”

"Um…"

Jiang Feng was a little impressed by this old man.

You are right, I do have ready-made pictures in my mind. Except for some pictures that I think need to be adjusted, the rest can be copied.

Just as I was thinking about it, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was sitting on the other side, also spoke.

"Jiang Feng, like Teacher Xie, I also plan to go back.

Teacher Xie's advantage lies in his shooting skills, while my advantage lies in adding philosophical views that you young people don't have into the existing stories, so that movie audiences can be inspired by the movies we make.

But, it has been three days since I came here, and you still won't let me touch your script, not even a small change in the lines.

So I think there is no need for me to trouble you in this little village."

At this point, Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly paused and said with a smile: "Jiang Feng, don't worry.

Even if Teacher Xie and I are not here to teach you, you can still call us if you have any difficulties.

Well, and even if you don’t let me touch your script, I will guarantee that you will get an A for your doctoral thesis every semester.”

"Ha ha…"

Tian Zhuangzhuang's words were playful, making Xie Fei and Jiang Feng laugh.

However, after laughing, Jiang Feng made a decision.

"Teacher Xie, you can go back. I'll ask the crew to send a motorhome to take you back. This way, you won't have to ride too hard on the road.

But Mr. Tian, ​​you can’t leave yet.”

"Why?" Xie Fei and Tian Zhuangzhuang asked at the same time.

"Because there is a role of the village chief in this movie, which I tailored for Teacher Tian. If Teacher Tian leaves, I'm afraid no one else will be able to play the role."

"Uh..." Tian Zhuangzhuang was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Feng to say that. However, when he turned around and looked at Sun Honglei who was eating not far away, he immediately became alert.

"Well, Jiang Feng, if you play the role of the village chief, you don't have to be in the fields and cut wheat, right?"

"puff…"

As soon as Tian Zhuangzhuang finished speaking, old man Xie Fei burst into laughter.

Jiang Feng is such a bad boy. Look how scared Tian Zhuangzhuang is!
………We agreed to leave tomorrow.

But in the afternoon, Mr. Xie Fei was sent to Cao County in the RV of the "Hidden in the Dust" crew. It happened that the county's top leader had to go to Beijing for a meeting, so he accompanied the old man to Beijing.

Whatever Tian Zhuangzhuang fears will come to him.

After lunch, the village chief of Zhuzhuang Village threw him a sickle, and then he joined the poor Sun Honglei to go to the fields to harvest wheat.

Sun Honglei did not finish harvesting an acre of wheat in the morning, so three people had to work on it in the afternoon. I believe that three people should be able to harvest the wheat faster.

Jiang Feng led the crew to the threshing floor to continue filming the sad scene between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

In the movie, one person works hard, another person wants to work hard but his body doesn't allow it, so he can only work slowly while dragging his limping body.

It has to be said that Gong Li's acting skills are on point. As soon as she appears in front of the camera, everyone will know what it means to "not cry out in pain, but pain is all there in her eyes and actions."

Gong Li's performance not only moved Jiang Feng, but also touched Zhang Yimou's heart. When the two first started working together, Zhang Yimou was on guard everywhere.

I was afraid that my behavior and actions would cause Gong Li to misunderstand me, even in the movie!

But as their cooperation deepened, Zhang Yimou gradually let down his guard, and at times he even really regarded himself as the fourth brother in the movie, and Gong Li as his own Cao Guiying, especially the scene where the two of them were lying on the kang and chatting at night.

As he spoke his lines, Zhang Yimou shed tears, and Gong Li even cried while hugging him...

Just like that, day by day passed.

In the fields, the corn planted by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li was growing day by day. Originally, it was just small seedlings breaking through the soil, but by early July, the corn in the field was already waist-deep.

As time went by, to the beginning of July, the filming of the movie "Hidden in the Dust" gradually came to an end. According to the filming plan made by Jiang Feng, the filming should be completed before July 7, and then the crew members and actors will return to Beijing together.

Han Shanye, chairman of China Film Group Corporation, the only investor in the film "Hidden in the Dust", was aware of Jiang Feng's filming plan.

Therefore, on July 7, Han Shanye came from Beijing to Cao County in southwest Shandong. After receiving the warm hospitality of the county leaders in Cao County, he arrived at Zhuzhuang Village, Sunlaojia Town, the filming location of "Hidden in the Dust" at 8 pm.

"Hello fellow, where is Jiang Feng who is filming a movie now?"

As soon as the Audi A6 drove into the entrance of Zhuzhuang Village, Han Shanye got out of the car and asked a cook who was about to cook on the street.

"Look over there, by the canal, at the west end of the village. If you see a lot of people, that's basically it."

"OK, thanks."

Han Shanye was very polite. When he saw the cook showing him the way, he took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him.

During lunch, the cigarettes given by the leaders of Cao County were given to the people of Cao County. This can be considered as returning to where it came from.

Perhaps because he had never smoked such good cigarettes, the cook took the Zhonghua cigarette, put it under his nose to smell it, then smiled and put the tools in his hand on the stove on the street.

"Leader from the capital, come on, I'll take you to find Jiang Feng's grandson."

"Um…"

Han Shanye was a little unhappy.

Jiang Feng is now the Oscar-winning best director. Looking across Greater China, he is the only one. Not to mention the common people in your village, even your county leaders don't dare to scold him.

The cook was also a smart man. He knew what Han Shanye was thinking just by looking at his face.

"My dear leader, I'm sorry, there is one thing you may not know. Although my last name is Zhang and Jiang Feng's last name is Jiang, in terms of seniority, he should call me grandpa.

So I call him my grandson, it's normal."

"Oh, that's it." Han Shanye smiled awkwardly.

It seems that I am too sensitive.

"Well, and if we talk about my uncle, Jiang Feng has to call me uncle, because my sister-in-law is actually Jiang Feng's eldest aunt."

Rural people are like this, they like to talk nonsense.

As the two walked towards the west entrance of the village, they chatted as they walked.

"Oh, really? So you and Jia Jiangfeng are related."

"Of course, they are real relatives."

At this point in the conversation, the cook suddenly paused and then scratched his head with a smile.

"This leader from Beijing, I believe you should know Zhang Jizhong, right? He is the director of the TV series "Water Margin"."

"Oh, I know." Han Shanye slapped his head.

I almost forgot that this is also Zhang Da Huzi’s hometown.

As expected, as soon as Han Shanye finished speaking, the cook laughed cheerfully and said, "My name is Zhang Jixu, Zhang Jizhong is my brother, and we have the same grandfather."

"Is the relationship so close?"

"Of course!

However, my leader, I have something to ask you. We are both directors, directing the actors to act. Who is better, Jiang Feng or my brother Zhang Jizhong?"

Who is better, Jiang Feng or my brother Zhang Jizhong?

Hearing such a simple question, Han Shanye almost laughed out loud. This is the countryside. What they think or what they care about is always who is better.

But how to answer this question?
For example: Not long ago, several domestic TV stations broadcast a martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", with Chen Kun and Zhou Xun as the male and female protagonists. The first and second round broadcast rights of this TV series were sold for a total of 7500 million yuan.

The movie "The Yellow Sea", which is currently being shown in theaters around the world, has grossed 4.7 million U.S. dollars worldwide with the marketing collaboration with Samsung.

In other words, brother, the pride in your eyes, Zhang Jizhong, is not even a fraction of Jiang Feng.

Just as Han Shanye was considering how to answer the question that the cook was concerned about, he saw a group of people standing by the canal from afar.

"Sister Gong Li..."

"Ok?"

"This canal is 4 meters wide and 1 meters deep. From a distance, it basically looks like a small river.

After a while, you are walking along the canal, and suddenly your eyes go dark, and then you fall headfirst into the water.

Although there were only a few scenes left in the entire movie, Jiang Feng still did not relax his requirements. Basically, he would patiently explain each scene before filming, and sometimes he would even demonstrate in person.

Like today, that's the case.

As he was talking about the play, Jiang Feng plunged headfirst into the ditch, and with a splash, a huge splash was created.

But this was not the end. After falling into the water, Jiang Feng struggled in the water. After a while, he sank to the bottom of the canal, and then gradually floated up, face down.

After these actions were completed, Jiang Feng stood up from the canal and said, "Sister Gong Li, have you seen it clearly? If you have seen it clearly, let's start filming. But if you still feel scared, um, for this part, we will use a stand-in."

"No problem, I'll do it myself!"

"Let's use a substitute."

These two sentences were spoken at the same time, by Gong Li and Zhang Yimou respectively.

"Ha ha…"

Standing on the outskirts of the crowd, Han Shanye laughed cheerfully when he saw Zhang Yimou looking a little nervous about Gong Li.
