Entertainment 1998

Chapter 770 Chapter 769 The Hunger Games starts

[Feng Xiaogang took a few steps forward, with several younger brothers behind him staring at him eagerly.

Feng Xiaogang yelled: "Who else?"

This roar scared the other policemen so much that they quickly lowered their heads to do their own work.

Taking off his hat, Feng Xiaogang said angrily: "Such a beautiful woman was brought here by you just because she spit on the ground..."

Jiang Feng, who came to make a friendly guest appearance, changed into a police uniform and put on makeup. As soon as he stood on the set of "Kung Fu", he knew why Feng Xiaogang kept doing NGs?
The reason for the constant NGs is not that Feng Xiaogang’s acting was bad, but that Zhou Xingxing kept changing his mind.

At first, the camera was shot in reverse, then he changed it to a circular track, and then a combination of overhead and vertical shots...

Well, let's put it this way.

In Jiang Feng's opinion, no matter how this scene was filmed, it would probably not satisfy Stephen Chow.

Because Zhou Xingxing himself didn't know which shooting method to use, he could only try it over and over again.

But during the audition, Zhou Xingxing couldn't explain the actual situation to the actors, and I didn't know how to shoot it well. Let's bring it up again and again...

You know, as long as he explained the situation truthfully, Feng Xiaogang would definitely walk away.

Don't you take me for a fool?

So, Zhou Xingxing could only say to Feng Xiaogang over and over again, let's do it again, there is no performance requirement for the certain part you just performed.

Eh…

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng sighed, looked at his watch, and found that it was already 9:30 in the evening. He had to rush to Shennongjia Forest Area to film tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Feng took the opportunity to find Zhou Xingxing.

"Master Xing, I think for this scene, we should do it in one take."

"One shot through the whole process..."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, Zhou Xingxing frowned.

"Brother Feng, can you tell me in detail?"

"Master Xing, this is what I think."

Seeing Zhou Xingxing's permission, Jiang Feng stood at the shooting site and introduced it with words and gestures:

"First, the three characters "Inspector Chen" on the name card on the table took up the entire screen. The camera panned up to see Inspector Chen sitting in a chair with a dazed look on his face. There were some noisy sounds coming from outside, but they were not very clear.

The camera panned out of the office, and two guards were standing at the door, with their heads tilted up in a daze, not knowing what they were staring at.

The camera continued to move, and the two passers-by sitting on the bench and all the police officers handling the case also tilted their heads to look at something, and the noise became a little clearer.

The sounds of things being overturned, beatings and shouting became clearer and clearer.

The camera panned to the second floor, and all the police officers on the second floor were also watching motionlessly..."

"Snapped!"

"Brother Feng, great!
That's right, this is the effect I want." Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Zhou Xingxing, who already had a complete picture in his mind, raised the walkie-talkie in his hand.

“Departments take note.

Let’s shoot this scene again from beginning to end.”

...

A scene that lasted less than 5 minutes was filmed over two consecutive days.

The actors are already so familiar with each other.

After Zhou Xingxing finally figured out the shooting method, he could shoot it in one take from beginning to end.

After the shooting was over, Feng Xiaogang was very happy.

While removing his makeup, he held Jiang Feng's hand and talked endlessly.

"Thanks, brother."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make Li Lianhua a good character in my next movie, A World Without Thieves. After all, she is the sister of your producer Li Xing."

"Brother, tell me the truth, do you have time at the beginning of next year?

If you have time, the role of Wang Bo is yours. Also, I can also use Yu Feihong to play the role of Wang Li!"

In fact, Wang Jinghua once asked Jiang Feng before, since you like acting so much, why not be the male lead in Huayi Brothers' next movie "A World Without Thieves"?

Boss Wang agreed.

As long as you play the male lead, you can choose the female lead.

If you like to find Li Jiaxin, we will find Li Jiaxin; if you like to find Wang Zuxian, we will find Wang Zuxian.

However, before Wang Jinghua could finish her proposal, Jiang Feng directly rejected it.

It's not that I look down on Feng Xiaogang, but there is no point in filming "A World Without Thieves". It would be better to use this time to read a book, or star in an art film, and win the Best Actor award at the three major European film festivals.

Therefore, when faced with Feng Xiaogang's sincere invitation again, Jiang Feng still chose to decline.

"Director Feng, I'm sorry, as you know I'm currently filming the Hollywood movie The Hunger Games, according to the agreement I signed with DreamWorks, Columbia Pictures, and Miramax Films.

If the box office of The Hunger Games is good, we will shoot the second and third parts immediately, and shoot them back to back.”

"Um…"

After staring at Jiang Feng for a long time, Feng Xiaogang said, "Tonight, several friends from the film and television industry are getting together at the Mahler Villa Hotel. They just sent me a message asking if I can go today?

It is said that several female celebrities from the Shanghai circle have arrived.

How about adding you in?"

"Haha... Director Feng, are you testing me?"

As soon as Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, Jiang Feng burst into laughter.

"Director Feng, I really didn't lie just now. The reason I didn't accept your filming of A World Without Thieves is because I didn't have time.

No other meaning.

Even if you take me to the Magic City Drama Academy to look for it, I still don’t have time.”

Villa Mahler Hotel
From the outside, it seems like nothing, it's just that someone uses a villa to open a hotel. The consumption level in such a hotel is a bit higher. A double bed room in a star-rated hotel costs 500 yuan, but here it costs 1500 yuan.

But everyone in the circle knows how magical this restaurant is. Well, let’s put it this way, no matter if they are from the Beijing circle, the Northwest circle, or the Shanghai circle.

Any female celebrity who wants to get resources in the Shanghai circle has to stay in this hotel for two nights, without exception.

Resources from Beijing or Northwest circles who want to find female artists from Shanghai will basically discuss cooperation in this hotel.

There are no exceptions either.

Of course, some female celebrities in the circle have physical disabilities or are old and ugly. When they come to discuss cooperation, they usually go to the nearby drama academy to find some beautiful girls, and the girls will be happy to come.

Because this is an opportunity!

This is also the reason why Jiang Feng pointed out the Magic City Drama Academy.

The purpose is to tell Feng Xiaogang, I understand what you mean, but I really don’t have time.

Feng Xiaogang is also a very particular person.

Seeing that Jiang Feng really had no intention of taking over "A World Without Thieves", he smiled and said: "Teacher Huang Lei from your school has a very good relationship with Zong Lei, so he recommended Liu Ruoying through Zong Lei.

Liu Ruoying is a famous singer in the music circle. She is also a good actress. But I always feel that she lacks in looks.

Um…"

At this point, Feng Xiaogang paused and said, "Brother, how about I contact Wang Zuxian?"

"OK!
As long as she agrees to take it, there will be no problem on my side." Jiang Feng agreed immediately.

These few short sentences may seem meaningless to outsiders. Feng Xiaogang simply wants to invite Wang Zuxian to act in a play.

But in reality, it's a deal.

Wang Zuxian here is a general term, referring to all women who have a relationship with Jiang Feng.

The content of the double deal is that as long as Feng Xiaogang invites a woman who has a relationship with Jiang Feng to play the role, Jiang Feng will be willing to take the blame for him.

Hold on to Huang Lei and the Beijing circle forces behind him.

……

And in fact, that is exactly the case.

At noon on the second day, Jiang Feng arrived safely at Yichang Three Gorges Airport. He walked out of the airport terminal, got into the business car that the crew sent to pick him up, and turned on his cell phone, only to find that he had received four text messages in a row.

[A Feng, what’s going on with Director Feng?

Our son is so young, and he actually invited me to play a female thief in his movie. Haha…, Sister Ying and Sister Kuan kept persuading me to accept the role. 】

[Jiang Feng, I am in Taiwan now, playing in the fields with my son, when I suddenly received a call from the mainland director Feng Xiaogang. He asked me on the phone if I wanted to continue to partner with Andy Lau to act in movies?
Well, it seems like he wants to ask me to play a female thief. 】

[Jiang Feng, did you recommend me to Director Feng? If not, how could I get his call? Well..., let me tell you!

Didn't you keep asking me before? Am I pregnant? Now, I can tell you clearly that I, Zhang Manyu, have a chance to be a mother.

So, if there is an opportunity to perform, please don’t recommend me. I want to stay at home and take care of my baby quietly. 】

The first three text messages were sent by Wang Fei, Wang Zuxian and Zhang Manyu respectively, which is understandable.

Because Jiang Feng's relationship with them had long been known to everyone, and the fourth text message was confusing.

[Jiang Feng, was it you who recommended me?

I received a call from Director Feng early this morning. He asked me if I was interested in starring in his film. Well, it seems that I would be playing a female thief in the movie.

I asked him, we don’t know each other, why did you think of inviting me?
Director Feng said that it was Jiang Feng who recommended it.

It was at this time that I remembered that I had been naked in front of you before. Well, it seems that I have always had a particularly famous title, Jiang Feng's rumored girlfriend! 】

The author of the 4th text message is Shu Qi!
"Brother Feng, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Feng was reading a text message when producer Li Xing, who came to pick him up at the airport, nudged him with his elbow.

"Isn't Feng Xiaogang going to shoot the movie 'A World Without Thieves'?" Jiang Feng smiled and put the phone in his pocket.

"Feng Xiaogang was not satisfied with the heroine that was stuffed into the group by Wang Zonglei, but he did not dare to resist, so he thought of borrowing my name to help him take the blame."

"You agreed." Li Xing blinked.

"Well, it's not really an agreement, just tell him that Wang Fei's acting is actually pretty good."

Having said this, Jiang Feng quickly changed the subject, fearing that Li Xing would continue asking questions.

"Xiaoxiang, just now, at the entrance of the terminal, you were talking about something that happened with the movie Buried Alive, which might affect the domestic box office of the movie.

Tell me, what happened? "

As an agent and producer, Li Xing is very professional. When she heard Jiang Feng was talking about business, the beautiful lady immediately reported with a serious face.

"Brother Feng, this is what happened.

Our film hasn’t even been officially released yet, but someone has already started to criticize it on Tianya Forum, saying that the plot of Buried Alive is inconsistent with socialist values…”

Things are very simple.

But the trouble behind this is not small, because if you are not careful, the film censorship department will be angry and embarrassed.

Damn, I didn’t expect that there were such deep metaphors in this movie. I didn’t even realize it at the beginning.

No, ban it, it must be banned!

Therefore, Li Xing spoke in such detail, not only explaining the whole thing clearly, but also analyzing the possible consequences one by one for Jiang Feng.

At the end of the conversation, she spread her hands and said, "Brother Feng, what do you think we should do?

It was agreed that on September 9, Teacher's Day, the movie "Buried" would be released in major domestic theaters on the power of the Golden Lion Award.

But now such a situation has emerged.”

"Is it banned by the higher-ups?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Not really." Li Xing replied.

"Since it's not banned, then it will be released normally." At this point, Jiang Feng said seriously, "Regarding this matter, we must not explain, make excuses, or apologize."

"What if public opinion gets out of hand?"

"If it becomes a big deal..., the box office of this movie will be higher. Originally, I expected 1000 million RMB to be good. If it becomes a big deal, I estimate that the box office of this movie can reach to million RMB." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Li Xing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Feng was so confident, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Yichang Three Gorges Airport is 258 kilometers away from Xiping Town in Shennongjia Forest District. As the tourist area is being developed, the road conditions here are acceptable.

Jiang Feng got off the plane at 11 o'clock in the morning, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the business car he was riding arrived at the Hao Zailai Hotel in Xiping Town on time.

【Good Come Hotel】

It is a row of two-story buildings facing the road. Behind the two-story buildings is a large courtyard, which can be used as a parking lot.

There are 55 rooms in Hao Zailai Hotel. Except for 5 single rooms and 5 double rooms, the other 40 rooms all have two bunk beds.

This was a special arrangement made by the crew of "The Hunger Games". Without the configuration of bunk beds, there would be no room for more than 40 actors and more than 100 crew members to live here.

"Good director!"

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

"Brother Feng, you are handsome again."

"Brother Feng, here, here, I love you, I'm giving you a heart here."

In the crew, Jiang Feng was as popular as ever. As soon as he got off the car, both the Chinese staff in the crew and the actors from the United States surrounded him.

"Anne Hathaway, you are beautiful again."

"Megan Fox, you're sexy again."

"Jake Gyllenhaal, you've gotten stronger again. Are you secretly training your muscles for the action scenes?"

Jiang Feng is like this. You praise me and I praise you too. Otherwise, if it is just one-way flattery, it would be so boring.

But when Jiang Feng was interacting enthusiastically with everyone, an actress named Eva Green suddenly said something inappropriate.

"Jiang, filming here is tough, we have no problem using the toilet and washing in the yard.

But now I want to ask you, why do you favor one over the other? All of us actors from the United States, no matter whether they are big names or small names, all live in one room with four people, but why does Zhang Ziyi from your country occupy one room by herself? "
