Entertainment 1998

Chapter 772 771, Big Event
In the dense woods, Anne Hathaway was running with a bow and arrow in her hand. While running, she heard a noise in the woods and immediately drew the bow and shot an arrow.

With a whoosh sound, a lively and cute fat rabbit was nailed to the tree stump.

"OK, passed, next shot."

"Action!"

Anne Hathaway was very happy after pulling out the arrow and getting the rabbit.

He put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, then hung the rabbit around his waist.

Just then, a javelin was thrown from a distance.

Hearing the sound, Anne Hathaway immediately jumped high and avoided the sneak attack.

“OK, very good!

Dawei, let's get a close-up of the javelin being driven into the stump."

Jiang Feng, who was holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, had just said this when colleagues from the props team and special effects team, led by Dawei, immediately ran into the shooting scene and pulled a 40-meter-long steel wire between the two big trees.

Then, a javelin about 15 meters long was hung on the wire...

Jiang Feng was staring at the filming scene and taking close-up shots through the director's monitor. At this time, a beautiful woman came over quietly and sat down next to Jiang Feng.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Feng turned to look at her.

Seeing that it was Zhang Ziyi, he frowned. Just as he was about to speak, the voice of the on-site director Dawei came from the intercom.

"Brother Feng, the close-up shot is complete.

See if it works. If not, we can try it again while the props are still there."

"OK, all right."

Jiang Feng, who originally wanted to say something to Zhang Ziyi, immediately shifted his attention to the director's monitor.

After watching the playback and feeling that there was nothing wrong, Jiang Feng picked up the intercom and said:
"OK, passed, next shot!"

"Action!"

The dilapidated thatched hut stood alone under the tree. When the sunlight shone through it, one could even see water droplets on the thatch.

Yang Ying, with chapped lips, stood at the door of the thatched hut, looking into the distance.

When she heard a whistle from the front, she became delighted and ran forward barefoot.

And while running, he was shouting: "Sister, sister..."

"Crack!"

"Yang Ying..."

"Director, tell me."

"Your expression just now was wrong. I didn't see any expectation in your eyes. Well, what I mean is that you should give me an expectant look now."

"Director, what does 'expectant eyes' mean?" Yang Ying, who was at the shooting scene, asked with a walkie-talkie in hand and her big eyes blinking.

"Let me put it this way, you are hungry, very hungry. Are you expecting some food to suddenly appear in front of you?" Jiang Feng, who had already figured out Yang Ying's level, did not laugh at her, but patiently explained.

"Yes!" Yang Ying said.

"Yes, keep it like this."

But just as Yang Ying was speaking, Jiang Feng, who was sitting behind the director's monitor, picked up the intercom again and said to the photographer Liu Jie who was at the shooting site:

"Old Liu, give Yang Ying a close-up at this location, quickly.

If your shooting speed is slow, I will have to find another way."

"Got it, Brother Feng!"

"Pfft..."

As soon as the voice of photographer Liu Jie was heard over the intercom, Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting next to Jiang Feng, laughed out loud.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Jiang Feng would be angry, she immediately gave him a thumbs up.

The meaning was very clear. He was praising Jiang Feng for his good acting, but also apologizing, "Director, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laughed."

However, Jiang Feng did not accept Zhang Ziyi's flattering apology.

Of course, Jiang Feng didn't yell and scold the actors to get out like Feng Xiaogang often did on the set.

Now, I'm a top international director, so I have to have some style.

So, Jiang Feng immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a text message to Han Shanye, who was also watching the actors filming outside the shooting site.

[Boss Han, why is Zhang Ziyi sitting next to me? How about you ask her to leave?]

[Jiang Feng, Zhang Ziyi actually told me this! ]

[Zhang Ziyi said that before, Song Jia was just a girl who had only acted in three TV series and didn’t even know how to act in a movie.

However, she only acted in one of your movies, and you trained her to become the Venice Film Festival queen;
Well, Charlize Theron starred in The Departed with you, and she won the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actress for just one movie. 】

[So, Zhang Ziyi planned that during the filming of "The Hunger Games", she would observe how you trained the actors, especially how you trained Yang Ying, a complete amateur.]

As if he was waiting for Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng sent a short message and instantly, Han Shanye replied with three messages.

Seeing Han Shanye’s text message, Jiang Feng frowned, then turned to look at Zhang Ziyi.

"You can stay here, but don't make any noise. If you laugh again or do anything that affects my filming, you'll have to leave."

"..."

Zhang Ziyi wanted to speak.

But as soon as her eyes rolled around, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and nodded vigorously.

...

To be honest, Jiang Feng doesn't have much good feelings towards Zhang Ziyi.

Of course, there isn't much ill feeling.

Although when I was writing entertainment novels in my previous life, I always felt that she was energetic and some of her behaviors were annoying, such as lying on the beach to sunbathe.

But if you think about it carefully, these behaviors are understandable. As a person at the bottom of society, if you want to climb up, you must be competitive and use some means.

Therefore, when Jiang Feng heard that Zhang Ziyi wanted to sit next to him and learn how he trained actors, Jiang Feng did not object too much.

After all, this beauty is also Chinese.

When Chinese actors have a promising future abroad, the country's soft power will increase, instead of being like in the past when football and film and television industries became a joke in the eyes of others.

The only scenes in a movie are gyms, barbecue restaurants and indoor parks; the actors are only scraps from the entertainment industry... and the investment amount for such a movie is 3 million RMB. Haha, who dares to believe it?
Haha..., they have become a laughing stock in the eyes of peers in other countries. What's even more ridiculous is that the box office of such a movie is actually billions.

Basically, Zhang Ziyi is a man of his words. If he can't say it, then he won't say it.

Since the first day of filming "The Hunger Games" in Shennongjia, she would always sit next to Jiang Feng whenever there was no scene for her.

The reason why I say "basically" is because during the breaks in filming, this beauty still has the opportunity to speak.

"Director, you are awesome!
In order to capture Yang Ying's hunger, I didn't expect you would actually starve her for a whole day."

"Director, these Hollywood actors are really serious. They agreed to shoot for 8 hours a day, but they don't want to stay on the set for even a minute longer."

"Director, can you add more shots for me? I feel like my scenes are missing. The fight just now wasn't very exciting, and the close-ups of my face weren't emphasized enough."

"Director, did you watch the news yesterday? Your movie Buried Alive has grossed over 2500 million RMB at the domestic box office.

Many netizens on Tianya Forum regard it as a masterpiece, and I also think it is a masterpiece. "

Jiang Feng usually does not answer Zhang Ziyi's questions.

Whether she was chatting with me or begging me to give her more shots.

Because it is unnecessary, and chatting with her too much may easily lead to misunderstandings.

You have to know that for now, Zhang Ziyi is Old Han's exclusive lover. When Han Shanye left the crew, he specifically instructed that the crew should try their best to take care of Zhang Ziyi in life.

Jiang Feng understood this as giving her two more tea eggs during breakfast.

In this way, the filming of "The Hunger Games" crew in Shennongjia Forest Area passed day by day.

When we came, everyone was still wearing short sleeves. By the end of October, everyone put on green military coats. There was no way around it. The temperature in the Shennongjia forest area was terribly low in the morning and evening.

For example, Li Xing, who had been following the crew, caught a cold due to the cold. Even two days of injections didn't help. There was no other choice, so the beautiful producer returned to Beijing a few days in advance.

Returning with her were a large number of actors including Yang Ying and her daughter, Eva Green, Megan Fox, Michael Arden, etc.

Because their scenes in the wild have been shot, now the only thing left is shooting in the studio.

In fact, the same is true for Zhang Ziyi.

But there was no way out, she had to stay on the set, and even her new best friend Megan Fox's attempt to persuade her to go was useless.

November 2003, 11, the eighth day of the tenth month in the lunar calendar, is Halloween in the West.

The crew of "The Hunger Games" had only two scenes left to shoot. One was that Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, as lovers, met at a duel arena and started a "fierce" fight as soon as they met.

In another scene, Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal hugged each other and cried, because the people who made the rules changed the rules of the game in order to maintain super high ratings. As lovers, they could win the championship at the same time.

And winning the championship means that one of these two people does not have to die.

Since all the scenes shot in the Shennongjia forest area recently were intense fighting scenes, and now suddenly emotional scenes were added, Jiang Feng was afraid that Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal would not be able to make the transition all of a sudden.

So, on November 11st, Jiang Feng gave them both a day to adjust.

And today, the outdoor scenes of "The Hunger Games" are coming to an end.

But after breakfast, when Jiang Feng was about to take the "remnant troops" to the shooting site at Shennongding Scenic Area, several uninvited guests suddenly came to the Haozhailai Hotel.

"Hello Jiang Feng, my name is Huang Jianxin. Although we have met several times before, we didn't communicate much, so this time I came to have a drink with you."

"Oh, welcome Director Jianxin!"

"Hello Jiang Feng, you still remember me, right? When we were filming the TV series "Swordsman", we often sat together and drank."

"Oh, welcome Director Jianzhong!"

"Jiang Feng, I won't say anything bad about you. In our hometown, you call me brother according to seniority. Outside, I am your mentor. It was me who pushed everyone against their will to let you film "Swordsman"."

"Haha..., that's right, Director Jizhong!"

"Jiang Feng, well, you have to call me teacher!"

"Hello, Teacher Xu!"

Xu Jinglei, Zhang Jizhong, Huang Jianxin and Huang Jianzhong all appeared in the courtyard of Haozailai Hotel. Looking at this lineup, Jiang Feng was as confused as he could be!
No matter how hard Jiang Feng racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why these people would get together to look for him, because they had nothing to do with each other.

Well, also, whether it is Li Xing, Wang Jinghua, or Han Shanye, they are all well-informed people in the circle. How could they not even get the news in advance and communicate with me?
"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"You guys are going to the filming location?"

Seeing the staff from "The Hunger Games" crew walking out with their things, Xu Jinglei asked.

“Yes, there are still two scenes that have not been filmed. I am thinking, let’s see if we can finish filming them today.

Well, how about this, let's go together! " Although there were many people coming and they seemed to be in a hurry, Jiang Feng did not indulge them. Instead, he led them out of the courtyard of the Haozaila Hotel while talking.

If you have anything to say, you can talk about it on the way.

You must not delay my normal work, even though Zhang Jizhong asked me to call him brother.

In fact, Zhang Jizhong, Huang Jianxin, and Huang Jianzhong were planning to chat in the hotel, but seeing Jiang Feng like this, and Xu Jinglei also following Jiang Feng out, everyone hurried to follow.

"Jiang Feng, there is something we want to tell you."

The first person to speak was Xu Jinglei. This beautiful woman did not avoid suspicion and reached out to hug Jiang Feng's arm, then talked as they walked.

"Isn't the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony going to be held in Jiaxing on November 11? Before that, according to convention, a Directors Guild meeting will be held. The content of the Directors Guild meeting is also very simple, that is, to elect a new president and vice president.

What the above means is that you are now an iconic figure among domestic directors and you must get a position as vice president of the Directors Association."

"You guys just came here for such a small matter?"

Before Xu Jinglei could finish her words, Jiang Feng interrupted her in time, then turned to look at Zhang Jizhong and Huang Jianxin.

“Director Jianxin, Director Jizhong, I am still young, only in my 20s, and it seems inappropriate for you to push me to the position of vice president now.

How about this?
I signed up to join the Directors Guild and am considered a member. I will stand on the stage and cheer for you. As for the president and vice president... you just have to watch the election."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, before Zhang Jizhong, Huang Jianzhong, and Huang Jianxin could say anything, Xu Jinglei turned her head and said:
"Director Zhang, Director Huang, how are you?
am I right?

In the election of the president and vice president of the Directors Association, Jiang Feng absolutely did not compete or fight for it. "

"Haha..., you are right." Huang Jianxin seemed relieved and laughed heartily.

"Before coming here, I spoke to Director Yimou on the phone, and he said the same thing. Although he was the vice president in the last term, he chose to retire from the Directors Guild this year for the sake of artistic creation."

"Yes, the director and I really have similar ideas." Xiping Town is not large in area, with only one main street. It is only about 1 kilometer from the Haozhailai Hotel to the Shennongding Scenic Area, where the crew filmed.

So even though they were walking, the few of them quickly arrived at their destination.

After arriving at the place, Jiang Feng wanted to ask if there was anything else, but at this time, Xu Jinglei quietly wrote a few words on the palm of Jiang Feng's hand.

[Don't ask, something big happened.]
