Entertainment 1998

Chapter 763 Chapter 762, I am no longer in the martial arts world, but there is always a legend about me in the martial arts world
Richard Robinson only read the novel "The Hunger Games" for 10 minutes and then there was no more reading.

Even when Harvey Weinstein shook his hand and said, "Let's go downstairs for dinner together," Richard Robinson did not respond, but just waved his hand away.

The meaning is very clear, I'm busy, you guys can do whatever you want.

He raised his wrist and looked at the watch, and found that it was already 6:30 in the evening. Harvey Weinstein and Jiang Feng naturally would not accompany Richard Robinson to go crazy.

He stood up and asked the waiter at the cafe to bring some snacks so that Richard Robinson would not go hungry. Jiang Feng and Harvey Weinstein then went downstairs.

"Jiang…"

"Ok?"

"You only asked for a budget of 8000 million U.S. dollars to film The Hunger Games in Hollywood, but we gave you 1 million U.S. dollars. Do you know why?"

"do not know!"

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"It's simple. The Hunger Games will be filmed in a studio inside Universal Studios in Hollywood. After the filming is completed, the sets in the studio will not be dismantled for the time being.

When the movie is released, if the global box office can exceed 2 million US dollars within a week, then we ask you to shoot the second part immediately."

Ok…

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, thought about it, and just replied, "Let's talk about it later."

Neither agreed nor refused.

Because this way of replying is Jiang Feng's style, no one knows what will happen at that time. What we need to do now is to do the task at hand well.

Besides, I can’t embezzle the 2000 million US dollar budget by myself.

dinner
The two of them ate at the western restaurant on the first floor, where they had steak and charcoal barbecue and drank Bordeaux red wine.

Jiang Feng likes to eat steak cooked to medium rare, as he feels that it is only well-seasoned and has a great texture.

Harvey Weinstein was more wild. He liked to eat medium-rare steak. When Jiang Feng cut the medium-rare steak with a knife, he could even see blood. But even so, Harvey Weinstein still ate it with gusto.

wipe…

No wonder the Chinese ancestors called foreigners beasts who ate raw meat and drank blood, but judging from the fact that Harvey Weinstein ate steak, Jiang Feng thought that the ancestors were not wrong.

The dinner was ok and quite enjoyable.

They started eating at 7:00 in the evening, and Jiang Feng didn't put down his knife and fork until 7:30.

Jiang Feng just picked up the decanted red wine and wanted to drink it all with Harvey Weinstein, but at this moment, he saw the man opposite him wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

"Jiang…"

"Ok?"

“I know you don’t like Zhang very much and you don’t want her to star in Transformers no matter what, but today, even if it’s your brother who’s treating you.

Why don't you give her a role in The Hunger Games?" Perhaps because he was afraid that Jiang Feng would directly refuse, Harvey Weinstein lowered his voice at this time.

"Whether in the United States, the United Kingdom or South Korea, I have always kept my word. Since I have taken advantage of someone, I must help her achieve her wish.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that make you a liar? !”

In the past, relying on the memory of his previous life, Jiang Feng had never been very fond of Harvey Weinstein, thinking that he was an old rogue who had a red sofa in his office.

Countless Hollywood actresses have laid on that red sofa.

But now, Jiang Feng has changed his mind about Harvey Weinstein. I may have taken advantage of you, or I may have played with you, but I must do what I promised you and provide you with resources.

Well, based on this alone, Jiang Feng had to admit that Harvey Weinstein was a man.

"it is good!"

This time, Jiang Feng did not hesitate and agreed directly.

"The Hunger Games" requires 24 young men and women. I have only sent Edison Chen and Maggie Q to the crew. It doesn't seem to matter if Zhang Ziyi is added now.

Seeing Jiang Feng nod, Harvey Weinstein was very happy. He picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in the glass.

And this is not the end yet. Harvey Weinstein called Zhang Ziyi immediately.

"Zhang, I'm telling you, it's done.

You can now go to Shichahai Sports School to join those kids' training.

Yes, let’s go now, because Jiang promised it himself…”

To be honest, Harvey Weinstein is a bit arrogant in Hong Kong Island.

Because when he called, the guy mentioned that there was a red sofa in his office.

Jiang Feng was a little speechless and wanted to remind him to speak more quietly, but at this moment, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

[Jiang, where are you? I am Richard Robinson! ]

〔Oh, we are in the restaurant downstairs.〕

[Jiang, I spent two and a half hours reading 17 chapters of your novel The Hunger Games. Just from the content of these 17 chapters, I can tell you that we have decided to publish your novel.]

[Jiang, we can promise you that we can publish "The Hunger Games" created by you in four volumes, with each volume priced at around US$20.

With your fame as an Oscar-winning director and Asia's pop king, our publishing house can probably print 50 copies for the first time, which is 200 million copies. 】

[Jiang, as for your royalties...]

[Jiang, since you are not well-known in the writer circle, so, so I mean that the royalty rate should be set at 10%! ]

Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel this way when he saw the text message sent by Richard Robinson.

Good things are indeed good things.

It's easy to tell at a glance that this is not the case with the entertainment novels I created in my previous life, where I wanted to set up exciting parts but was afraid of being deleted by the editor or reported by book friends.

In the end, it's just a mess, and only a very smart reader can sort out the metaphors in the book.

Of course, even though he was expressing his feelings, Jiang Feng did not stop at all in replying to Richard Robinson.

[Mr. Richard, please don't get excited, because people tend to make mistakes when they are excited.]

[What I mean is this: I'll leave my laptop with you. You can take your time to read it. Don't be in a hurry. If you can't finish it today, we can continue tomorrow.]

[Ah, Jiang, is this really possible? ]

[Of course, a laptop doesn't cost that much.]

After replying to Richard Robinson's text message, Jiang Feng edited another text message and sent it to Wang Jinghua who was far away in Beijing.

The text message sent to Wang Jinghua was relatively simple, with only one sentence: "Sister Hua, please come to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible and help me deal with matters related to the novel "The Hunger Games".

Wang Jinghua’s reply was even shorter and more concise.

[Okay, I'll be there at noon tomorrow! ]

It’s not that Jiang Feng doesn’t like discussing the publishing details of the novel “The Hunger Games” with Richard Robinson.

It’s because Jiang Feng thinks that professional matters should be left to professionals!
Otherwise, there would be no need for me to hire Wang Jinghua as my agent.

Speaking of agent Wang Jinghua, she definitely has a brilliant record. The reason why the overseas distribution rights of the movie "Buried" were sold for 500 million US dollars was because she believed in Yu Dong's judgment.

He didn’t listen to Jiang Feng’s own idea [it can be sold for 400 million US dollars]!
So this time, regarding the copyright royalties for the novel "The Hunger Games", Jiang Feng would not set any restrictions for Wang Jinghua.

Anyway, the two of them have a community of interests. Jiang Feng gets a higher royalty, and Wang Jinghua gets a higher commission on the royalties.

Perhaps he was having a great time chatting on the phone, Harvey Weinstein sat alone in front of the window, laughing out loud.

Jiang Feng listened carefully and found that Harvey Weinstein was talking about swimming with Zhang Ziyi on the phone.

Harvey said that there is a French island called St. Barts near the Caribbean Sea. On the beaches of St. Barts, people are very free to be themselves. Men and women can bathe and sunbathe without any clothes on.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng smiled.

It looks like the male lead of the Beach Gate incident is going to be replaced?!
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng no longer waited for Harvey Weinstein in the restaurant, but chose to leave directly.

Who knows what time the frightened Harvey Weinstein will call tonight? !

After paying the bill and coming out of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, Jiang Feng did not choose to drive. Instead, he gave the car keys to Qin Chuan and asked him to drive the car back.

As for Jiang Feng himself, he took the bus to Hong Kong Island.

I have no other purpose, I just want to take the bus on Hong Kong Island to travel around the city, look at the people riding the bus, and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Because whether it is Zhang Yimou from the mainland or Steven Spielberg from the United States, they all hold the view that actors cannot be separated from the lives of ordinary people.

Jiang Feng deeply agrees with this.

In a dozen years or so, the reason why mainland TV dramas and movies are getting worse and worse is because of this problem. Not only are the actors out of touch with the lives of ordinary people, but even the screenwriters of the TV dramas and movies are making up stories.

I still remember that Yang Tianbao once acted in a TV series, which said that she was a real estate agent who was so poor that she couldn’t even afford instant noodles. But when she turned around, she found that the house she rented was actually in the center of Shanghai.

Haha..., a real estate agency intern who earns only more than 2000 yuan a month actually rents a house in the center of Shanghai..., haha, anyone with a little common sense would not write such a weird plot.

Jiang Feng was just recalling this when suddenly the bus stopped. The driver opened the door, turned around and said with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone. The street ahead is closed because a film crew is filming on the road.

If any of you want to get off at Admiralty, Caine Road, or University Hall, please get off here. If you don’t get off here, we will take a detour and go directly to Queen Mary Hospital.”

There weren't many people on the bus, only about a dozen.

When the driver said this, they all shook their heads, and one guy even said that it would be closer if they got off at Queen Mary Hospital and walked back.

However, Jiang Feng, who originally wanted to observe and experience life, got off the car here.

It's also good to walk there and see how colleagues in Hong Kong Island film their movies.

Jiang Feng was sitting closer to the front door, so when the driver gave his reminder, Jiang Feng got up and went to the front door of the bus.

"Hey, you are Director Jiang Feng, right?"

Just as Jiang Feng was about to get off the car, the driver said in surprise: "Director Jiang Feng, I really like watching your movie "The Yellow Sea". I didn't expect you to make my brother so violent.

Yes, it is violent, it is awesome! "

"Haha, really? Thank you!"

In response to the fans' compliments, Jiang Feng said thank you and got off the bus.

After getting off the bus and turning a corner, Jiang Feng saw a sign at the intersection of a not very wide road asking vehicles to detour because a film crew had obtained the right of way.

Seeing the sign, Jiang Feng wanted to use the dim light of the street lamp to see what crew was filming. At this time, he heard someone complaining loudly.

"Azhi, are you okay? What on earth is going on that requires you to make this call? You should know that the entire crew is waiting for you."

"Azhi, please help me. You know, Brother Hua's muscles weigh 27 kilograms. If you delay for a minute, he will suffer for a minute."

"Azhi, let me say hello to Mrs. Xiang now. I can't film any scenes involving you."

Although the complaints were spoken quickly and urgently, and not too loudly, Jiang Feng was able to hear the key information from them.

A woman named Azhi was on the phone, and a man named Hua Ge was wearing 27 kilograms of muscle...

Combining these two points, Jiang Feng immediately knew that the crew filming in front should be "Big Guy". Well, this movie that was introduced to the mainland but was cut into pieces is called "Big Guys, Big Wisdom" in the mainland.

The main actors are King Liu and Cecilia Cheung. After starring in this movie, King Liu, who is always smooth in dealing with people, even said directly in front of the media, "I will never work with Cecilia Cheung again in the future."

Ha ha…

It was a coincidence that I came here today, and I really got to witness history.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng walked faster and arrived at the shooting site in two or three minutes.

There were many people at the shooting scene, including staff holding microphones, staff holding reflectors, photographers carrying cameras, extras waiting nearby, and the "burly" King Liu.

When he saw King Liu, Jiang Feng quickly put on his black glasses and moved behind the crowd. He came here to watch the show, so it would be best not to be recognized.

Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Because at this moment, King Liu was standing in the middle of the road like a fool, wanting to act, but no one was willing to act with him.

He wanted to get angry, but when he opened his mouth, he, who always presented himself as a good guy, swallowed the curse words back in the end.

But as soon as Jiang Feng retreated behind the crowd, he heard everyone's discussions.

"Oh... Director Du and Director Wei are just too soft."

"That's right. If it's the famous director Jiang Feng..., you can let Zhang Baizhi try again and see if Jiang Feng can't kill her."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Speaking of Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng is really awesome. Back then, when Director Liu was filming the movie Infernal Affairs, I was in charge of props in his crew. That day, I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Feng slapped Zeng Zhiwei in the face."

"I'm not talking about fighting. I'm talking about Director Jiang Feng's control over the crew. Is George Clooney awesome? Is Leonardo Dicaprio awesome? Is Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron awesome?
When these people are filming, they still have to obey Jiang Feng's arrangements obediently."

Ha ha…

Jiang Feng felt a little happy when he heard everyone talking about it.

What is this equivalent to?
This is equivalent to the fulfillment of the saying, "Although I am no longer in the martial arts world, of course my legend will always be there."

However, just when Jiang Feng was secretly happy, suddenly, a timid little hand grabbed his hand.

"Well, Director, I want to sleep with you."
