Entertainment 1998

Chapter 774 Chapter 773, Strong Intervention

Jiang Feng did not make a random offer of the price of 3000 million RMB.

According to the inside information Xu Jinglei got as relayed by Zhang Ziyi, the girl named Zhang Yu had more than 30 videotapes in her hands, and these 30 videotapes involved more than 30 well-known film and television directors in the circle.

My friend offered 3000 million, but each of them only paid 100 million, well, not even 100 million.

What's more, I'll help you hide the truth for free. Back then, when we were filming "Swordsman", Brother Jianzhong, who was frightened by insects, did drag some Yu into the room.

I saw this with my own eyes!
In the previous life, the reason why Zhang Yu failed in suing Brother Jianzhong was, firstly, because the combined power of more than 30 directors was huge, with capital and connections; secondly, because Brother Jianzhong argued that it was Yu who took the initiative to seduce me, and as a man I drank some wine, so I couldn't control myself, but this had nothing to do with breaking the law, after all, we were both willing at the time.

Therefore, in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

But this life is different.

If there really was an Oscar-winning director who stood in court and testified that, yes, I did see Comrade Jianzhong drag the girl into the room with my own eyes.

Ha ha…

Jiang Feng didn't know what the 30 famous directors in the film and television industry would become in the end, but he knew that this fat-headed and big-eared brother Jianzhong would definitely go in.

Jiang Feng’s offer was too high, so the deal was not concluded.

Even the drinking party that had been arranged in advance did not take place, and everyone dispersed.

Huang Jianzhong, Xu Jinglei, Huang Jianxin and Zhang Jizhong went directly from Xiping Town in Shennongjia Forest District to Yichang Three Gorges Airport, and then took a flight from the Three Gorges Airport to Lin'an.

The China Directors Association is about to hold a meeting, and they are all invited members to attend the meeting, especially Huang Jianxin, who is also the strongest contender for the president of this Directors Association.

But Jiang Feng felt that they should go to discuss countermeasures.

100 million RMB per person, will you pay this money or not? !

If you pay, it will hurt, 100 million per person; if you don’t pay, with Jiang Feng interfering, I guess no one will have an easy time.

Jiang Feng and the "Hunger Games" crew moved a little slower. They had lunch in the town, packed up their things, and finally split up into two groups.

Dawei and Mark led the convoy onto the highway and took the land route to Beijing, because equipment, props, special vehicles, etc. had to be brought back to Beijing.

Jiang Feng led the team to Xiangyang Liuji Airport, and then took a flight from Xiangyang Liuji Airport to Beijing.

Before boarding the plane, a small incident happened. Zhu Houlun, the newly appointed district chief of Shennongjia Forest District, rushed to Xiangyang Liuji Airport. In the airport terminal, he and Jiang Feng had a meeting for about half an hour.

Zhu Houlun had no other intentions, he just hoped to get Jiang Feng's permission to set up a tourist attraction named after The Hunger Games at the filming location of The Hunger Games.

Jiang Feng was a little surprised by this.

It is only 2003 now, and I didn't expect that there are such smart leaders in our country. You should know that in our country, the case of making a tourist attraction or a city popular with a film or TV series started after 08.

Although he was surprised, Jiang Feng agreed without thinking. After all, using his influence to do something practical for the people has always been Jiang Feng's life goal.

But this is not the end yet. The leader named Zhu Houlun rubbed his hands and made an even more excessive request.

"Director Jiang, we heard that the movie "The Hunger Games" is going to be shot in three or four parts.

And if the box office of "The Hunger Games 1" is good, then the second and third parts will most likely be filmed consecutively, so what we mean is, can the second and third parts still be filmed in our forest farm?

Well, also, I heard from a friend that the movie "The Hunger Games" is a combination of real-life shooting and special effects production. At this moment, there is a large interior set being built in Studio 4 of Beijing Film Studio.

So we thought that it was a bit stingy to build the interior in the studio. Director Jiang, if you need it, we can build a large shooting scene for you in Shennongjia Scenic Area. "

wipe…

As soon as Zhu Houlun finished speaking, Jiang Feng almost swore.

The leader in front of me has a very good mind. He can see so far ahead. He doesn't want to rely on the fame of Shennongjia to attract tourists. He also wants to attract movie fans to come and see how the Hunger Games was filmed.

"Well..., leader, do you really believe that the movie "The Hunger Games" will be a success?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"Isn't the novel "The Hunger Games" already a success?" Zhu Houlun asked back.

"Director Jiang, I saw a piece of news online saying that the Hunger Games series of novels has ranked seventh among the bestsellers in Europe and America. In just three short months, its circulation has exceeded 7 million copies, or 100 million copies."

"Haha..., thank you for the compliment!"

Jiang Feng smiled and shook hands with Zhu Houlun, then opened his laptop and sent the draft of the relevant scene designs for Part 2 and Part 3 to the leader in the form of an email.

The meaning is very clear. If you can really find a place in the Shennongjia forest area to build a magnificent shooting scene, I will naturally be very happy to come and shoot.

The timing just happened to be so coincidental. The two had just finished discussing the matter when it was time to board the flight to Beijing at 5:30 in the evening.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Han Shanye arrived at the Beijing International Airport on time.

Not on a business trip, I'm here to pick you up at the airport.

In fact, with Han Shanye's identity as the chairman of China Film Group, there is really no one in the domestic entertainment industry who needs him to pick people up at the airport.

Even if the other party is Jiang Feng, who has made great contributions to Chinese films, no matter how capable Jiang Feng is, he is always an artist and has no administrative level.

But today, Han Shanye came resolutely.

Actually, Han Shanye had no way to deal with such self-degrading behavior.

Back then, there were a total of 9 people in the advanced training class at the Film Academy. Huang Jianxin was the class monitor and Han Shanye was the branch secretary. The two of them had a "partner" relationship more than just classmates. Now that his partner was in trouble, he naturally couldn't just ignore it.

The timing was just right. Han Shanye's Audi A6 had just stopped at the entrance of the terminal when the crew of "The Hunger Games" filed out of the exit, led by Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, this way!"

Pushing the door and getting out of the car, Han Shanye waved and shouted.

"Hey, Mr. Han, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up and take you to Studio 4 of the Beijing Film Studio to see the work of our set designer.
If you feel there is a problem, we can correct it immediately." Han Shanye was very enthusiastic. He took Jiang Feng's suitcase and put it in the trunk of the Audi A6.

Jiang Feng, who originally wanted to take the minibus back with everyone, had no choice but to get on Han Shanye's executive car.

Han Shanye's full-time driver was a very good driver. Jiang Feng had just sat down in the back seat when the Audi A6 drove onto the main road in front of the terminal building.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"How about it? Do you have confidence that The Hunger Games can be officially released around the world on the day of the Spring Festival?"

“I’m going all out!”

Jiang Feng did not make any guarantees or boast, and maintained his usual rigorous style.

"Okay, I like your seriousness."

Having said that, Han Shanye didn't waste any words. He took out a thick brown paper bag from the bag beside him and handed it to Jiang Feng.

"what?"

"photo!"

"Whose?" "It's nobody's. It's just a set of photos of a courtyard house. Take a look. Do they fit?"

"I didn't say I wanted to buy a courtyard house!"

Having said that, Jiang Feng still opened the brown paper bag and poured out all the forty or fifty photos inside.

[The first picture, a mottled gate.]

[The second picture shows a small kitchen built at the entrance of the Chuihua Gate. ]

[The third picture shows a narrow corridor.]

[Photo 4: The toilet renovated in the garden.]

[The fifth picture shows the low wall built at the entrance of the main house.]

[Photo 6: An old lady holding a urine pot is quarreling with her neighbor across the street.]

[Picture 7: The roof of the small kitchen with smoke coming out.]

Seeing the messy environment in the photo, Jiang Feng frowned.

Originally, I thought that if the environment was suitable, the courtyard house that Han Shanye introduced to me could be sold at a higher price. After all, it was only 2003.

However, when Jiang Feng saw the real environment in the courtyard, he backed off immediately, because the public tenants inside were a big trouble. Even if they admitted that the house was yours, they just wouldn't move out.

No one can do anything to them.

In a word, do whatever you want and sue wherever you want.

But before Jiang Feng could finish his words, Han Shanye spoke.

“No. 15 Fuxiang Hutong, the total construction area is 1089.4 square meters, the land use right area is 1643.47 square meters, and the building has 1 floor.

Fuxiang Hutong is located at the foot of the "Imperial City", only 200 meters away from Nanluoguxiang Metro Station. It is surrounded by cultural facilities such as Nanluoguxiang, the Central Academy of Drama, the Palace Museum, and the Prince Gong Mansion Museum.

不过，这栋四合院也上了年龄。公开资料显示，福祥胡同15号的院落内共存在32幢房屋，共用一个出入口，土地的使用期限则是自1997年3月6日至2097年3月5日止…”

Han Shanye talked a lot, and in great detail, introducing the advantages and disadvantages of this quadrangle courtyard one by one. At the end of the conversation, he took a breath and said:
“This house is a long-standing problem. The owner has tried to sell it several times but failed, so now the asking price is getting lower and lower.

Yesterday, I called the owner again and he said it would be sold for 550 million RMB.”

550 million RMB for a courtyard house of more than 1600 square meters, Jiang Feng was completely tempted.

If you buy this, without doing anything and just waiting for a dozen years, you can sell it for 2 million RMB.

At this moment, Han Shanye took out a formal house purchase and sale contract from his bag.

"Jiang Feng, if you agree to accept this courtyard house, just sign the contract and don't worry about the rest, because Jianxin, Jizhong, Jianzhong and others will help you pay for the purchase of the house."

wipe…

Now, Jiang Feng understood.

It turns out that these bastards are trying to save the country in a roundabout way. We want to make this matter less serious, but we really can't raise 3000 million RMB, so we can each raise hundreds of thousands of RMB to help you buy a courtyard house? !

Seeing Jiang Feng frowning, Han Shanye thought he was unhappy.

Because no one would be happy with this.

But there is no way, Huang Jianxin has to be saved. If his scandal is completely exposed, it will be very difficult to deal with in the future.

Forget about wanting to stay in the circle in the future. Even the shit under his butt would be a light punishment to just send him to jail.

"Jiang Feng, let's put it this way. Even if my brother owes you a favor, you can help me with this matter. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

"Um…"

Although Jiang Feng looked embarrassed, he still gritted his teeth and signed the house purchase contract.

"Boss Han, this is just you. If it were someone else, I would never agree to it, because if this kind of shit is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles.

For example, if I give her money and she has spent it all, she might use this as an excuse to ask me for money again.

For example, if I made her famous, would she let me continue to promote her because no one can guarantee that even if she gave us the videotape, she would still have a backup copy?"

Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Han Shanye reached out and patted him on the shoulder with this expression in his eyes.

Thanks bro, I know this is difficult for you.

...

After chatting about business, we arrived at the Beijing Film Studio.

Han Shanye's Audi A6 drove directly to the door of Studio 4.

Jiang Feng pushed the door and got out of the car, and went into the studio immediately.

Studio 4 has now been divided into five areas.

One is a high-tech control area, which is equipped with a very sci-fi computer screen. The designers of the Hunger Games use the high-tech control area to issue game commands or modify the rules of the game.

One is the green screen area, where the sci-fi city scenes that appear in the movie were basically shot here and then produced by computer.

One is the train storage area. The set designers and prop masters of China Film Group actually built a train carriage in the studio. The configuration inside the train carriage is completely science fiction-level.

An LCD TV is hung on the ceiling of the carriage, and there is a large bar in the middle of the carriage. There are wine, desserts, drinks, and an oven with a rotating roasted leg of lamb.

There are not many seats in the carriage. There are only 27 seats in the 12-meter-long carriage...

In Studio No. 4, Jiang Feng was inspecting the work of the set designers and prop masters of China Film Group. At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

[Are you Director Jiang Feng? ]

Looking at the text message, Jiang Feng frowned slightly, and then he suddenly realized.

〔Are you Zhang Yu?〕

[Yes, director, I am Zhang Yu! ]

[Well, tell me, what do you want? Feel free to ask. These directors in the industry are all my friends, so I hope my friends can land safely.]

[Director, I want to be famous, just like Song Jia now. She only acted in one of your movies, “Buried”, and she won the Venice Film Festival Best Actress Award.

It is said that the current film pay is over one million. 】

[Minor success depends on promotion, great success depends on fate. If you are not destined to be successful, I cannot make you successful even if I promote you.]

[So, Director, what do you mean? ]

[I will give you 300 million RMB and two chances to act in my works. If you become famous, it is your destiny. If you fail, don't blame me.

But no matter what, you have to give me what you have and promise not to keep any backup. ]
