Entertainment 1998

Chapter 809 808, Coal Boss Calls
Chen Hong finally understood one thing!

Why are there so many beautiful female stars who want to get involved with Jiang Feng, and after getting involved, these women basically say goodbye to their previous lives.

This is true from Yu Feihong, Wang Fei, Guan Miaolin, Wang Zuxian, to Zhang Manyu, Li Jiaxin, Sakai Izumi, Choi Ji-woo, Charlize Theron, Fan Jiuyi, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Xing and others.

It's not just because Jiang Feng is handsome, rich, and has plenty of resources, but there is also a very important reason, that is, his ability is super strong.

Well, how should I put it?

There are clear records in history books that Qin Shihuang's mother, Zhao Ji, had a lover named Lao Ai, who had a magical skill that allowed him to turn the wheel.

Jiang Feng basically possesses this ability. It can even be said that he is even more brilliant than what is recorded in Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian".

Chen Hong has had careful experience with the men before, including the current Lao Chen.

These people are like lighting a candle, striking a match, and using the faint flame of the match to light the candle.

This process is quite fragile because you don’t know where a gust of evil wind will come from and blow out the match directly; it doesn’t matter if the match is blown out, the key is that there is only one match left in the box.

Even if you light the candle carefully by covering it with your hand, the flame will go out again before the wax melts.

It was so unlucky, there was no wind, and the fire went out.

But Jiang Feng is different.

Using a match to light a candle to compare Jiang Feng is an insult to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was more like a well driller in the countryside. He installed a high-explosive drill with extremely strong impact force on the machine, aimed at the right position and drilled down fiercely...

No matter whether there is soil or sand underneath, just drill to the bottom. Once you get to the bottom and pull out the drill bit, crystal clear groundwater will violently gush out.

Chen Hong particularly likes this feeling.

Back then, when filming the movie "Xiang Xiang Nao You Fang", Chen Hong's favorite thing to do during her life experience was to sit in the fields and watch the farmers dig wells.

The moment water gushed out from the ground, she was happier than anyone else.

And now, the same is true.

Even when she was lying on the sofa in Jiang Feng's house, the happy scenes of the past still appeared in her mind.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Thank you!"

"hehe…"

After receiving this thank you, Jiang Feng really didn't know how to respond.

The reason for this is that this morning was very funny.

This is equivalent to a robber robbing a passerby's wallet on the road. After the robbery, the robber suddenly bows to the passerby and says, thank you!
How do you think this passerby should respond?

I can't just say, it doesn't matter, I was actually very happy when you robbed me, right? !
Unable to respond, Jiang Feng did not respond.

Standing up from the floor, holding his clothes, Jiang Feng went to the bathroom in the bedroom. Of course, before entering the bedroom, Jiang Feng did not forget to point to the guest bathroom in the room.

The meaning is very clear, you can also go over and take a shower.

The shower was very fast.

In less than 20 minutes, Jiang Feng, after drying his hair and putting on his clothes, walked out of the bathroom.

The door of the guest bathroom was closed and there was the sound of running water inside. Standing at the door of the guest bathroom, Jiang Feng wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and swallowed his words.

Forget it, let’s cook first.

I've been busy for nearly an hour and I'm already hungry.

……

Although I haven't lived here for half a year, my classmate Li Jia has always taken time to come and clean the room, so it is clean and the refrigerator is full of fresh ingredients.

The purchase date is marked on the packaging bags of beef, pork, fish, eggs and various vegetables.

Jiang Feng picked it up and took a look, and found that they were all bought yesterday, so he took out a bag of beef, a bag of eggs, two cucumbers, two fresh carrots and a bottle of soybean paste from the refrigerator.

That’s right, the breakfast Jiang Feng is going to make this morning is fried noodles with soybean paste.

During the five months of filming in Shennongjia Forest Area, Jiang Feng never cooked.

Now that he's back home, Jiang Feng is craving for the noodles with soybean sauce that he made himself. Today, he has to have two bowls no matter what.

Open the beef packaging bag, rinse the fresh beef, then put it on the chopping board and start dicing. If you want the beef sauce to taste good, the diced meat should not be too big, about the size of green beans is good.

Of course, don’t put too much diced beef, as it will affect the taste of the vegetables.

While he was busy, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a voice behind him.

Turning around, he saw Chen Hong, still graceful, leaning against the kitchen door frame, staring at him.

But this is not the point. The point is that at this moment, the white shirt Chen Hong is wearing is Jiang Feng's.

"What do you want to make for breakfast?" Chen Hong lifted her hair.

"Jajangmyeon."

"Isn't this the way the old Beijing fried noodles are made?" Chen Hong took a look and was quite curious.

"No, this is something I improved on my own." Jiang Feng smiled and turned back to continue cutting vegetables.

The beef is already diced.

Now, it’s time to cut the carrots and cucumbers into cubes. Both of these vegetables can be eaten raw, so if you want a better taste, the vegetable cubes can be a little bigger, preferably the size of peanuts.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Aren't you going to ask me why I treated you like this today?" Having said this, before Jiang Feng could answer, Chen Hong said another sentence slowly.

"Or should I ask this question, aren't you afraid that I'm setting you up today?"

"I'm not afraid." Jiang Feng answered firmly.

"why?"

"This is my home. How did you set up a trap? Did you call the police and report me for using violence against you? Probably not.

You know, how can you be sure that I don’t have surveillance cameras or anything like that in my house?”

"what…"

After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Chen Hong became a little nervous and immediately turned to look at the dining room and living room, focusing on the corners, the chandelier, and the shoe cabinet that served as a partition between the dining room and the living room.

Moreover, while checking it out, she asked, "Jiang Feng, do you really have that kind of thing at home?"

“No, I’m just giving you an example.

Am I not sick to install that thing in my own home?"

Jiang Feng smiled and continued cooking.

Turn on the stove on the right to boil water, turn on the stove on the left to heat the oil, when the oil is almost hot, immediately add the onion, garlic and chili to stir-fry, then add the diced beef and stir-fry...

"Mm, it tastes really good."

At this time, seeing that Jiang Feng's family was indeed normal, Chen Hong finally refocused her attention on the man in front of her.

"right?
Then I'll cook more noodles, and you can have half a bowl more when you eat noodles with soybean paste later."

At this point, Jiang Feng suddenly changed the subject and said, "Tell me, Sister Hong, what difficulties have you encountered? Why did you even sacrifice yourself and come to me for help?"

"Nothing, I just like you a little bit. I just want to see what kind of charm is there in this man who has fascinated dozens of beauties in the Chinese entertainment industry?

Well, I tried it just now, and it really makes people infatuated." "Sister Hong, I'll give you one last chance, if you don't want to tell me, forget it." Jiang Feng said bluntly, ignoring the teasing of the beautiful woman.

"No, I said."

Knowing that Jiang Feng was a man of his words, Chen Hong immediately changed her words and said, "The movie The Promise is over budget. It was originally budgeted to be made with 3500 million US dollars.

However, as a result of Lao Chen's changes, from the original ring-within-a-ring palace to a Chinese-style imperial palace building, the cost of the film skyrocketed.

Well, according to my estimation, without 5000 million US dollars, it would be impossible to complete the filming and production of this movie. "

“Isn’t there a Ming and Qing Dynasty palace in Hengdian?
Why do you want to build another one in the studio?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"Old Chen said that the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces in Hengdian had too little artistic feel. They were used by one crew and then by another, which made him lose the feeling of filming.

Therefore, we rebuilt a 1:1 replica of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the studio. Of course, this is only the interior scene, and if we want to shoot the exterior scenes, we will still go to Hengdian.”

"Oh…"

Jiang Feng responded and motioned for Chen Hong to continue.

"Jiang Feng, the reason I came to see you today is to ask if you can make additional investments in The Promise? It doesn't have to be much, 1000 million US dollars will do."

"Impossible!" Jiang Feng refused directly.

"Then can you help us get some investment? For example, Harvey Weinstein from Miramax Films, he seems to like our Chinese movies." Chen Hong changed her tone to a requesting one.

"Doesn't Old Chen also know Harvey Weinstein? You can just call him directly." Jiang Feng frowned.

“Yes, I know him. When we were trying to attract investment, Lao Chen and I flew to the United States to meet Harvey Weinstein.

However, when Harvey Weinstein heard our Lao Chen talk about the whole idea of ​​the movie "The Promise", he directly cursed it as a bad movie. "

"and then?"

At this time, the fried sauce is ready.

The water next to him had already boiled. Jiang Feng took out the hand-rolled noodles from the refrigerator and started cooking.

"Then, our old Chen was upset and said he would never have anything to do with Harvey Weinstein again.

But, Jiang Feng, I believe you also know that among the Hollywood filmmakers who are interested in our Chinese films, the only reliable one is Harvey Weinstein. Regardless of whether he is a scammer or not, this guy is really willing to pay for our films.

The rest of us basically just gave verbal support.”

"Oh, I understand." Jiang Feng suddenly realized it at this time.

"Sister Hong, do you mean to use the relationship between me and Harvey Weinstein to get Harvey Weinstein to take the initiative to find your Lao Chen to discuss cooperation?
This is equivalent to Harvey Weinstein admitting his mistake to Lao Chen for what happened before. "

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Chen Hong nodded rapidly.

wipe…

Jiang Feng wanted to swear out loud.

I have been in the industry for several years, and I have never met any film director or filmmaker who is more pretentious than Lao Chen.

No matter how the work is, or whether the investment budget has been exceeded, I will always show off first.

"Jiang Feng, how is it? Can you help?"

"Can't help!"

This time, Jiang Feng’s refusal was more straightforward.

"why?"

"Because Harvey Weinstein is right. No matter how The Promise is filmed or how many times the filming scenes are changed, its core has already determined whether this movie is a huge bad movie or not."

"Uh…"

"Listen to me, stop now, while you still have a small loss. Once the movie is done with special effects, the money will flow out like water."

The noodles are ready.

The beef sauce is also good.

Jiang Feng filled two bowls of noodles, covered them with a thick layer of beef sauce, then sat down in the restaurant with Chen Hong, picked up chopsticks and started eating.

"Jiang Feng, is there really no hope for The Promise?

I mean, even if I took the script of this movie and went to look for investors, wouldn't I be able to find investment? Well, or go to the coal boss or something. "

"Have!"

Jiang Feng said while eating: "Like I said before, you can hire someone to attack the Imperial Palace or the Yasukuni Shrine.

Then, when this person finishes his work, he will show your movie poster to the media and say thank you to Director Kai Ge for providing great support for our actions.

By that time, the movie "The Promise" will quickly be on the international stage. Let's not talk about our country, let's talk about South Korea. If your movie can't attract 1500 million US dollars of investment in South Korea, I will make up for the investment for you."

"hehe…"

Before Jiang Feng finished speaking, Chen Hong shook her head and smiled bitterly.

But even though she shook her head, she was able to eat the noodles now.

.......
Come quickly.

Walking fast too.

After eating breakfast and putting on her clothes, Chen Hong left Jiang Feng's house.

Looking at her back, Jiang Feng felt that she was quite pitiful.

Because she has to cover for her not-so-normal husband all the time. In fact, Chen Hong had already made it very clear during the meal just now.

I want to go to the coal boss with the script.

Jiang Feng did not respond to Chen Hong's words. It was her freedom. She was willing to sacrifice for her husband, and no one could stop her.

The idea that Jiang Feng gave her was actually quite reliable. If there really was a man who did this, I believed that not only would the film be able to successfully obtain investment, but it would also be able to rest assured about the box office.

I believe that by then, there will be no more cases of “A murder caused by a steamed bun”.

After thinking for a while at home, Jiang Feng packed up the pots and pans, changed his clothes, put on his shoes, took his camera, and walked out of the house.

The movie "Cell Phone" is of utmost priority. Filming will begin next month. Jiang Feng and Fan Jiuyi are the leading actors. In the next ten days or so, Jiang Feng must complete the location scouting work.

In order to facilitate work, Jiang Feng did not drive, nor did he let Qin Chuan or Kim Kyong-hui or Kim Ok-hui drive. Instead, he put on a baseball cap and took the bus.

With the map in hand, I started to wander around the capital... After wandering around for a total of 10 days, I finally began to make some progress.

The home of the male owner in the movie can be placed in Ziyu Villa. The villa that he gave to Li Xing is inside. The villa has an outer wall, so it is not difficult to climb over the wall to get in.

Outside the villa is the main road of the community. There is a parking lot next to the main road. The scene where the robbers kidnap the heroine can be filmed here.

As for the hospital where the heroine worked before..., you can choose the clinic in Ziyu Villa, shoot the interior scenes in the clinic, and use the interior scenes of Jishuitan Hospital or Union Hospital for the exterior scenes.

Next is the police station. Things at the police station seem a bit difficult to deal with. Otherwise, we can rent two offices in the Beijing Film Studio and renovate them.

Jiang Feng was busy when he suddenly received a call from a stranger.

"Hello, are you Director Jiang Feng?"

"Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"My last name is Zhang Yaping, I'm from Shanxi Province, and I'm in the coal business. I met Chen Hong at a dinner party today, and she told me that her husband's movie was overspent by 1500 million U.S. dollars, and she needed to raise investment herself.

Just want me to invest.

And Chen Hong also said that you have evaluated the movie "The Promise" and it is a sure win. I want to ask if this is true?"
