Entertainment 1998

Chapter 801 800, Do you know Dou E? I am more wronged than her.

Jiang Feng is filming.

I was just filming, sitting behind the director's monitor, observing the actors' every move. If the actors' performance met the requirements, I would shout "cut", and if it did not, I would shout "cut"!
If he still fails after shouting "cut" twice in a row, Jiang Feng will stand up and explain the play.

Well, that's it.

It seems that Jiang Feng is not like a real mainland director who wants to take care of everything.

If the props are not right, they will blame the prop master; if the camera lens is not used correctly, they will blame the photographer; if the extras are not right, they will bring the assistant casting director over and curse his ancestors...

Even worse, people like Lao Chen would howl on the set when extras were having lunch and someone was sitting with their legs crossed:
'Next time you look for extras, find someone with high quality.'

wipe…

After hearing what Lao Chen said, the entire crew (including his wife) rolled their eyes. The fact that you were howling like that on the set proves that your quality is not very high.

Director Lu Chuan stood among the crowd watching the filming.

Watching Jiang Feng filming from a distance, his eyes were full of envy. Jiang Feng's team was so efficient.

The entire crew, a team of about 120 people, was divided into ABC3 groups.

Group A was the filming crew, with Assistant Director Dawei as the team leader. The entire crew followed Jiang Feng and filmed one scene after another according to the arrangements on the filming notice.

Group B is the set design group, which is responsible for professionally arranging shooting scenes. The group includes prop masters, photographers, lighting engineers, sound engineers, etc. They will arrange the shooting scenes in advance according to the requirements of director Jiang Feng.

Group C is the inspection group. After the set group completes the arrangement of the shooting scene, the inspection group will immediately enter the shooting site and conduct a very detailed investigation according to the storyboard script prepared in advance by Jiang Feng.

If there is anything wrong, rearrange it immediately.

Once the inspection team has finished the inspection, this shooting scene will basically be ready for Group A to enter and shoot.

So efficient!

If there was such a filming team, the filming of the movie "Looking for the Gun" two years ago would not have taken so long.

Lu Chuan was shaking his head with emotion, when suddenly, he felt someone nudging his arm. Turning around, he saw a tall and beautiful woman looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Oh, Hello, Director Xu..."

Jiang Feng did a good job in filming in Shennongjia Scenic Area this time, and he reached a mutual compromise with Han Shanye, chairman of China Film Group Corporation.

The set of "The Hunger Games" is open to tourists. As long as you don't disturb the filming of the crew and don't take photos or videos, you can visit at will!

Young domestic directors or actors who aspire to become directors can all observe how Jiang Feng films from the outside of the shooting site.
As for Han Shanye’s original wish, to let Jiang Feng teach everyone how to direct a play..., haha, from now on, it will basically be impossible.

Currently, Xu Jinglei, a teacher at the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, is also on the list. Well, she can watch the filming of "The Hunger Games" from afar.

So, Lu Chuan was quite happy to see Xu Jinglei here.

You used to be Jiang Feng’s woman, but I didn’t expect that now you are like me and can only watch from afar.

Just as Lu Chuan was thinking about gloating, he heard Xu Jinglei lower her voice and say:
"Can I ask you something?"

"Speak!" Lu Chuan walked back quietly, fearing that his conversation with Xu Jinglei would disturb the filming of "The Hunger Games" crew.

Because it would only disturb the filming crew, and then everyone would not have the opportunity to watch at the shooting site.

"I just want to ask you, did you bring Zhao Yanzi here?" Lu Chuan had just stood still when he walked to the outskirts of the shooting site, and Xu Jinglei caught up with him and asked.

"Yeah, that's right!

Teacher Xu, you also know that Yan Zi was disfigured before. Even after the surgery, it still hinders her performance.

So she decided to develop into a director and was going back to school to pursue a master's degree in directing.

So, I told her that Jiang Feng’s filming of “The Hunger Games 2 and 3” would be open to all colleagues in the industry, and if she wanted to learn, she could come quickly…”

"Then you can't ask her to come."

Before Lu Chuan could finish his words, Xu Jinglei wanted to get angry.

"why?"

"Because Yan Zi and Jiang Feng don't get along!"

"Uh…"

"Yan Zi and Jiang Feng don't get along, but she appears in front of him, which will make Jiang Feng unhappy. And if Jiang Feng is unhappy, I will not feel good, because the student I have booked will come to the crew soon."

"Uh…"

"Lu Chuan, let's be frank. Two days, I'll give you two days to clear the swallows away from the Shennongjia Scenic Area immediately, otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

Lu Chuan is also a person with temper.

We are all from Beijing. We see each other every day. Why are you making a fuss?

Besides, didn’t you become famous because of Wang Shuo? You became famous because of Wang Shuo, and then hooked up with Jiang Feng. With Jiang Feng, you published several romance novels, and then you got the name Xu Cainu.

Ordinary movie fans and book fans may not know about this, but people in the circle have heard about it a long time ago, because until now, as soon as you received your royalties, you called Jiang Feng as soon as possible.

"Otherwise..., hehe, I'll say that you just pulled me into the bushes and wanted to harass me, humph!"

After hearing these threats, Xu Jinglei didn't even look at them, and happily went to the outskirts of the filming site.

Jiang Feng was filming at full speed in the scenic area, and Xu Jinglei had to enjoy it carefully. However, as soon as Xu Jinglei walked to the cordon pulled by the crew, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

【Thank you, Teacher Xu.】

[You're welcome! I don't like Lu Chuan in the first place. Not only is he a sissy, but he also has no real ability. If he didn't have a good father, he probably wouldn't even be able to have a bowl of hot soup in his life.]

【Ha ha…】

[Boss Li Xing, don't forget your promise. I asked Zhao Yanzi to leave the crew. My students should be paid for helping the crew.]

【have!

200 yuan per person per day, food, accommodation and other expenses will be provided by the crew. 】

〔wipe…〕

After seeing the text message Li Xing sent to her, Xu Jinglei burst into swearing on the spot.

[Shit..., Mr. Li Xing, just tell me who else you want to remove from the crew. As long as you can tell me the name, I will run over and do it for you right away.]

.........

The first day of filming was mainly for the cast and crew to get used to the normal filming rhythm.

Therefore, Jiang Feng did not arrange many filming sessions. If you count carefully, there are only eleven scenes. The filming of these eleven scenes started at 9 o'clock in the morning and ended at 4: in the afternoon. Today's filming schedule was successfully completed.

It was still the same rule as before. On the first day of filming, the crew would always hold a start-up party. However, both the start-up party and the wrap-up party for Jiang Feng's crew were a little special in that everyone never got together.

Instead, they take money from the crew's finance department, and then go out drinking in groups of three or four. If someone likes barbecue, they go to a barbecue restaurant; if someone likes steak, they go to a Western restaurant; if someone just likes to buy a bag of peanuts and two bottles of beer and sit on the curb to drink by himself, that's up to him.

Well, how should I put it?

This is called freedom!
The rules that were established before will naturally not be broken this time.

After finishing the work and walking out of the filming site, the actors and staff of the crew each received 200 yuan from the finance department, and then made an appointment to go out for a drink together.

Jiang Feng also wants freedom.

But there is no way. So many big names have come today. As the host, I must treat them to good food and drinks.

Hongping Town.

This year's Hongping Town is much more prosperous and lively than last year when "The Hunger Games 1" was filmed. Because "The Hunger Games 1" was a global hit, many fans came to Hongping Town to visit the filming location of the movie.

Especially those overseas fans, they fly directly from the United States to Shanghai as if the tickets are free, then transfer from Shanghai to Yichang Three Gorges Airport, and finally take a taxi to come here...

The purpose is to get a glimpse of the murder scenes in the movie. Where was it filmed?
Lots of people.

They needed a place to eat, drink and stay, so the local people who had some money built hotels, restaurants and car dealerships in Hongping Town without any guidance from the relevant government departments.

【Xingji Roasted Suckling Pig】

It is a newly opened restaurant by the locals. Because the restaurant is built on the riverside and the beautiful Shennongjia Scenic Area is on the other side of the river, the business here is very good!

The crew of "The Hunger Games" has not officially started filming here yet, but this place is already full of guests. If you don't have a reservation in advance, you can't eat in this restaurant.

It was pretty good. Li Xing had made a reservation in advance, and the room he booked was the largest private room in the restaurant.

Therefore, at 6 o'clock in the evening, with the aroma of barbecue wafting through the streets, Jiang Feng, Han Shanye, Harvey Weinstein, Yu Dong, Jiang Zhiqiang and Steven Spielberg came here together.

"Director Jiang, you're here, please sit inside."

When he saw Jiang Feng, the shop owner was polite and welcomed him into the room with a smile on his face. The official said that Jiang Feng was the fortune-bringing boy of the Shennongjia Scenic Area.

Whether our tourism industry will be prosperous in the future or not? It all depends on him!
Since he is a boy who brings fortune, he must be treated well.

"Boss, if you have anything delicious, just bring it up. We are here to entertain American guests today."

"Well, Director Jiang, don't worry, we have already arranged everything." Seeing Jiang Feng ordering dishes in this way, the restaurant owner was even happier.

According to a little girl who came to eat yesterday:

Boss, if you have the chance, please invite Jiang Feng to your restaurant for dinner, and then make a recipe of his favorite dishes and hang it on the wall. I believe that many people will come to order food from you in the future.

Don't believe it yet.

Right now, there is a restaurant called Jinzhou in Hengdian Town. It is extremely popular. The reason why this restaurant became popular is that during the epidemic, Jiang Feng, who had nothing to do, created 8 dishes in the restaurant.

Jiang Feng was able to create 8 dishes there, so could he also create a few dishes in his own restaurant?
Of course, before that, Jiang Feng should be served well first. If he is happy, I believe everything will be fine.

Whether it is Harvey Weinstein or Steven Spielberg, they have never eaten roast suckling pig.

Now that they have come to China and seen this thing, they naturally want to feast on it. As for what these two old men believe in, everyone collectively chooses to ignore it.

Yes, you think pigs are unclean things, but the pigs cooked by us Chinese are extremely clean.

"Jiang…"

"Ok?"

"Shall we talk business first?"

Everyone sat down, but the food hadn't come yet. Li Xing, the producer of "The Hunger Games", was pouring tea for everyone. Harvey Weinstein, the famous old gangster in Hollywood, had a secret eye contact with Steven Spielberg and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Okay."

Jiang Feng took a sip of tea and said.

“The movie Get Out has been released for seven days and has grossed $7 million worldwide. Based on current estimates, the final total box office should be around $3.05 billion.

Well, Steven and I have talked about it. If the final box office of this movie does not exceed 10 billion US dollars, we will pay you the box office share based on 10 billion US dollars.

Of course, if it exceeds 10 billion US dollars, that would be even better, we will just go by the actual box office.”

"Well, what are the conditions?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.

"We want the sequel rights to Get Out and the remake rights, let's just say we want to make this movie into an IP, just like your movies Saw and Paranormal Activity."

As soon as Harvey Weinstein said this, Han Shanye became a little anxious before Jiang Feng even opened his mouth.

This old scoundrel in front of me is really a smart guy. Anyone can see how great the movie "Get Out" is? !
With an investment of 2000 million, the total box office has now exceeded 3 million US dollars. Domestic film and television experts have studied it and found that even if this movie does not invite a Hollywood star and only uses ordinary people to star in it, its box office will eventually exceed 3 million US dollars.

Because the plot of this movie is so cleverly set up, he directly implanted racial conflict into it.

You should know that this is called political correctness in the United States. Even if the film distributor does not promote it, the official will still promote and guide it.

Therefore, in this situation, Han Shanye believes that the most important thing right now is to take advantage of the popularity of this movie and hurry up to shoot another "Get Out". Well, the key is that China Film Group must participate in the investment this time.

But who would have thought that Jiang Feng nodded and agreed directly.

Seeing that Jiang Feng agreed to sell, Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg smiled at each other and raised the teacups in their hands.

"Jiang, thank you!"

"Here we are, two people, following your Chinese custom, using tea instead of wine, and toasting you."

"You're welcome, we're all friends."

Jiang Feng smiled, picked up the teacup, clinked it with the two old men in front of him, then tilted his head back and drank it.

Seeing Jiang Feng do this, Harvey Weinstein and Steven Spielberg quickly followed suit and drank the tea in the cups in one gulp.

But just after finishing his tea, Harvey Weinstein spoke again.

"Jiang, Steven and I were supposed to go back to China tomorrow, but your producer wouldn't let me go, saying he wanted to take us to Northeast China to see something good.

Well, can I ask what good stuff it is?"

"Um…"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Transformers, Decepticons, Megatrons, and Bumblebees that can move by themselves."
