Chapter 777 Chapter 776 The Hunger Games Wraps Up

Jiang Feng is serious about protecting the safety of the actors.

It took a lot of effort to trick Hollywood actors into coming to China to act, and even their work teams have come over. If something unexpected happens to the Hollywood actors at this time... the consequences would be unimaginable.

From now on, even if there are Hollywood actors willing to come to China to film, insurance companies and their agencies will definitely stop them.

In this situation, Jiang Feng resorted to extreme measures.

Whoever installs the pulleys, wire ropes and other key facilities in the studio shall be responsible for testing their reliability.

In this way, accidents can basically be prevented from happening.

not bad.

Yuan Heping and his men led by Chen Hu are very serious about their work. Even if they use wires to hang up a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds, the fat man can still perform flying on the grass in the air.

Although it is a holiday, the duration is relatively short.

A number of Hollywood stars including Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Megan Fox, Michael Arden, Eva Green and others did not return to the United States, but chose to spend this short holiday in Beijing.

On the morning of November 11, when they heard that Director Jiang Feng was making final preparations for filming in Studio 6 of Beijing Film Studio, they all came to the studio.

"Jiang, thank you for keeping us safe."

This group of people came to the studio and saw a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds flying up from the green screen area, and then the fat man kept flying in the air.

"You're welcome!"

Jiang Feng greeted them with a smile.

"Jiang, we have agreed to treat you to roast foie gras and red wine at noon today. Do you have time?"

"It's not possible at noon, nor in the evening. Why not change it to tomorrow?" Jiang Feng thought of his classmates. They had already booked rooms at Xin Fusheng Restaurant.

At night, Liu Qiangdong was still waiting. JD.com was burning a lot of money now. The 5000 million US dollars given by Jiang Feng in two installments had been spent, and now it was preparing for the second round of financing.

"Tomorrow, not tomorrow!"

Anne Hathaway was very brave. She stood in front of Jiang Feng and took the initiative to say, "Jiang, today is my birthday. They are holding a cocktail party to celebrate my birthday."

"Is it your birthday?"

"Yes!!!" Anne Hathaway blushed and nodded gently.

"Well...how about this, I'll ask my classmates to book two tables for you at Xin Fusheng Restaurant, so that I can celebrate your birthday while attending my classmates' party.

Well, and don’t you like French food? Then I will ask my agent to find the best French chefs in Beijing for you and have them come to Xin Fu Sheng Restaurant to cook.”

"Really? Thank you!"

Although she was a little shy, Anne Hathaway still hugged Jiang Feng and kissed his cheek. Then, amid the noise of the crowd, she quietly asked:

"Jiang, are you attracted to me? Otherwise, why are you so nice to me? Well, I heard that Charlize Theron, who has always disliked marriage and children, even planned to have a child for you."

"Haha, Annie, you're joking." Jiang Feng said bluntly: "The reason why I treat you well is mainly because your acting is very good. In the next Hunger Games 2 and 3, I still need you to star in them."

"Oh…"

Anne Hathaway, who likes to speak and act directly, was a little sad when she was rejected by Jiang Feng, but she soon laughed out loud.

"Jiang, thank you!"

"I knew you were good to me!"

"I didn't realize you were actually planning to invite me to star in The Hunger Games 2 and 3."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care whether there were onlookers around, she pursed her red lips and stamped Jiang Feng's mouth.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Ooooooooo..."

"One more, one more!"

Anne Hathaway's bold behavior naturally caused everyone to make a fuss again.

...

Jiang Feng is a man of his words.

Even though it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, he still asked his agent Wang Jinghua to find the best French chef for these actors from Hollywood.

At the beginning, the chef of the French restaurant Flou still had some spirit, saying that even a god couldn’t help but prepare a sumptuous French meal in a Chinese hotel within an hour... How is this possible?

However, when they heard that Wang Jinghua set the price at US$1000 per person, these chefs took the fine ingredients from the French Restaurant Flou and rushed to Xingtan Road.

So, at noon, Xinfusheng Restaurant became very lively. In the huge restaurant on the first floor, there were two tables in the east half for Chinese food, and two tables in the west half for Western food.

As the director, Jiang Feng was running back and forth, eating braised pork elbow and drinking Niulanshan Erguotou in the east; and then running to the west to drink red wine and eat foie gras elegantly with Anne Hathaway, Eva Green, Megan Fox and others.

It was fine at the beginning, with clear distinctions.

Hollywood actors and mainland actors ate their own food, but as lunch progressed, everyone began to blend in.

The honest children Guo Xiaodong and Huang Xiaoming drank too much, so they pulled Michael Arden's hand and started playing finger-guessing games.

"Hello, brothers, the five leaders..."

You know what, Michael Arden's Chinese is becoming more and more authentic.

Just as Hollywood actors flock to mainland actors, so mainland actors also flock to Hollywood actors.

For example, Kong Wei and Li Jia, who both speak good English, held hands and elegantly tasted red wine with Megan Fox and Anne Hathaway.

And when everyone was integrated, Jiang Feng no longer had to run back and forth. He sat leisurely on a chair and sent a text message to Charlize Theron who was far away in the United States.

[I heard that you are planning to have a child?]

I thought that due to the time difference, Charlize Theron would reply to her text messages more slowly, but I didn't expect that before Jiang Feng put his phone in his pocket, the text message from this South African beauty arrived.

[You’re already pregnant, so just wait to become a father!
Because I went to the hospital to have this little guy removed, but the doctor told me that if I had it removed I would never be able to get pregnant again.

So for you and for myself, I decided to give birth to it. 】

After seeing this text message, Jiang Feng's phone fell to the floor.

Damn it, it seems that I traveled through time for this very reason, to help the most difficult female celebrities in the world give birth to babies;

You have to know that in her previous life, Charlize Theron did not have her own biological children. After having been with so many men, it’s not that she didn’t want one, but that she couldn’t have it.

We are going to have a baby again.

Jiang Feng was in a good mood. He picked up his phone from the floor and talked to Liu Qiangdong over the phone. After confirming the scale of JD.com's second round of financing, the two canceled the dinner party in the evening. After all, everyone was busy. Then, Jiang Feng put his phone in his pocket and picked up the wine glass in the restaurant on the first floor of Xinfusheng Restaurant.

"Let me say a few words now. Today, we won't leave until we are drunk!"

…………

next day
It was a winter day in the capital and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

There was already a crowd of people at the entrance of Studio 4 of Beijing Film Studio.

There is breakfast in the crew, which is divided into Chinese and Western style. The Chinese style is fried dumplings and spicy soup; the Western style is milk bread and hot dogs.

There was a huge crowd because everyone was queuing up for breakfast.

Jiang Feng came back from jogging on the playground of Beijing Film Academy, looked at the team, and was a little speechless.

It’s not that there are many people coming to eat, but also that many extras who make a living at the Beijing Film Studio also come here to eat, but these people have messed up the food.

All the Chinese with black hair and yellow skin ran to the Western breakfast area to get milk, bread, hot dogs and grilled ham.

The blond, blue-eyed, white-skinned Hollywood actors sat at the Chinese breakfast table, each holding a large bowl and drinking spicy soup.

For example, Anne Hathaway took a bite of the fried bun and drank a sip of spicy soup. She didn't even try to manage her body. She just shouted in Mandarin, asking the owner of the spicy soup restaurant in Xiaoyao Town to bring her two more bowls of spicy soup.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"How come it's the other way around? Foreigners like Chinese food, but Chinese people eat grilled sausages?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Feng realized that Han Shanye was standing behind him.

"Boss Han, are you coming for breakfast too?"

"Yes, there is free breakfast here, so I don't have to eat at home." Han Shanye, who came to the crew to eat, said this as a matter of course.

"Oh, by the way, Jiang Feng, at your request, the team from Industrial Light & Magic, the world's top special effects company, came to the Beijing Film Studio yesterday.

Building 12, which was the original film printing factory, has now been completely handed over to them, and they will work here for the next two months.”

"Really? Thanks!"

Jiang Feng is happy.

It was originally just a simple proposal, saying that we hoped Industrial Light & Magic could come to China to produce the special effects shots for the movie "The Hunger Games". Unexpectedly, they actually agreed.

"Jiang Feng, don't be happy yet, I have signed a military order in front of the top executives of DreamWorks, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, Miramax Films and other companies.

On January 2004, 1, which is the Chinese New Year, The Hunger Games must be released simultaneously around the world.

"no problem!"

After making an OK gesture to Han Shanye, Jiang Feng turned around and said to the staff of the Egg Fragrance Cake Shop who came to deliver Western food, "Give me a pack of hot milk, two eggs, two grilled sausages, and two hot dogs."

"OK, all right!"

The female staff member of the Egg Fragrance Cake Shop smiled sweetly and handed Jiang Feng the breakfast he had ordered. In the process, this charming lady also gently scratched Jiang Feng's palm with her little finger.

...

Eat very efficiently.

Whether it was the foreigners eating Chinese breakfast or the crew members eating Western breakfast, everyone was done within 20 minutes. As soon as it was 7 o'clock, the crew members and actors from Hollywood all entered the studio.

The division of labor is clear.

After entering, the crew members immediately set up the shooting scene, while the actors went to put on makeup and change clothes.

In the original version of "The Hunger Games", the fire-generating clothes worn by the male and female protagonists were created using computer special effects, which looked a bit fake, especially when viewed on the big screen.

But Jiang Feng's version is different. At his suggestion, the costume designer of Beijing Film Studio made a special pair of clothes for the male and female protagonists.

There is a hole on the back of the clothes, from which phosphorus can be sprayed, followed by phosphorus fire. The fire looks beautiful when photographed, and it does not hurt people.

On the first day after returning from Shennongjia Scenic Area, Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal tried on this kind of clothes. After putting them on, they immediately gave a thumbs up to the costume stylists of Beijing Film Studio.

Genius imagination should be praised!
Everyone moved very quickly.

Around 7:30, 24 young men and women dressed in various battle uniforms stood in the green screen area.

Jiang Feng took a look and felt it was ok.

He asked the horse trainer from the Beijing Film Studio to bring over two red war horses. Although it was shot with a green screen, Jiang Feng was always serious and would never use fake ones if the real ones could be used.

When the horse trainer led the warhorse to the shooting site, Jiang Feng said to Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Megan Fox, Michael Arden, Eva Green, Maggie Q and others:
“As we all know, green screen shooting is different from live action shooting.

With real-life shooting, we can place ourselves in a real environment, and then perform it bit by bit according to the plot in the script. This requires imagination, but not much.

Green screen shooting, on the other hand, relies entirely on your imagination, whether it is the environment you are in or the people and objects you are talking to.

There are three main scenes in the film.

The first scene is the remote 12th District where the hero and heroine are located. This place has been turned into a mining area. People living here are often trapped by hunger. People's clothes are mainly white and blue. It looks very similar to the area where Jews lived in large numbers during World War II.
The second scene is the location of the world's capital, which is full of science fiction. The buildings are all gray, and the environment in which people live is full of high technology, but everyone's clothes are quite medieval and they wear heavy makeup, which looks quite absurd..."

Jiang Feng was talking about the play, using words to describe the filming scene.

Eva Green, Michael Arden, Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal and others were listening with their eyes closed.

They were all imagining in their minds what the world that Jiang Feng described with words was like.

Even after Jiang Feng had finished speaking, these people did not open their eyes. After waiting for a long time, the usually calm Jake Gyllenhaal raised his hand first, followed by Anne Hathaway and Megan Fox.

Seeing them raise their hands, Jiang Feng applauded.

"Annie, Jack, come here, let's shoot the scene of you riding horses and parading in the streets..."

The Hong Kong martial arts group led by Yuen Woo-ping and Chen Hu moved quickly. As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, they sent Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway onto red war horses.

After they sat down, Jiang Feng didn't waste any words and raised his hand to let Dawei start hitting the board.

"Action!"

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal ride side by side on horses.

The two had walked a short distance when bursts of flames began to burst out from their clothes.

"Look forward, yes!"

At this time, Jiang Feng picked up the intercom in his hand and said, "In front, fifteen or sixteen heavily made-up men are sitting in the air and yelling at you. The content of their yelling is, bastards, you guys should die quickly."
