Entertainment 1998

Chapter 378 377, Natural
[One Weekly:

Yesterday, Jon Fillmore, CEO of Hollywood Lionsgate, told reporters at the North American premiere of the Chinese-language film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that compared to the Chinese-American director Li An, I prefer the Chinese film director Jiang Feng!
Because Jiang Feng always keeps the filming costs to a minimum, and the movie plots he conceives also make people forget the cultural barriers.

Whether watching "Moon" or "Saw", moviegoers simply forget the skin color, race and language of the actors on the screen.

Therefore, when Director Jiang Feng came to the United States for the first time, Lionsgate Films strongly invited him to stay and make a name for himself in Hollywood...】

[One Weekly:

Wang Fei, the queen of the Chinese pop music scene, could not stand the loneliness, so she went to Beijing seven times to meet her lover at night while recording her next music album in Hong Kong.

Yesterday, she once again took the earliest flight to Beijing, and her good friend Zhang Guorong also arrived in Beijing with her on the same flight.

According to insiders, Saw, which has grossed over 1.8 million U.S. dollars at the overseas box office, is about to start filming its second part, and the male lead of the second part will be upgraded from Tony Leung Ka Fai to Leung Kwok-wing!
Zhang Guorong went to Beijing this time to prepare for the start of filming...】

9:10 am

Dawei took the earliest flight and arrived at Hong Kong International Airport.

But the frustrating thing was that he had been standing at the exit for 20 minutes and had read an entertainment magazine called "Next Weekly" twice, but he still didn't see the "tour guide" who was supposed to pick him up at the airport.

Damn...

Don’t think that Jiang Feng was abused by Dou Wei yesterday, and today he is deliberately making fun of his buddies, right?
You know, when I came here today, I heard that Jiang Feng followed his love rival Dou Wei to learn singing, but Dou Wei arranged for him to blow balloons in Shichahai and stand on the shore of Shichahai and shout wildly towards the opposite side...

Because of this incident, Jiang Feng almost became a laughing stock in the mainland entertainment circle.

Jiang Feng, what the hell are you thinking?
You dare to invite your girlfriend Wang Fei's ex-husband Dou Wei to be your music producer. Aren't you asking for trouble? You should know that Dou Wei hasn't come to you to settle the score for destroying their marriage.

Just as he was suspicious of Jiang Feng, Dawei suddenly smelled the scent of Chanel perfume. It seemed that this perfume was often used by Jiang Feng's girlfriend Wang Fei.

Looking up, Dawei immediately found a young and beautiful girl standing in front of him.

The girl was holding a newspaper in her hand, on which were written two big Chinese characters "Dawei" with a marker!
Seeing Dawei looking at her, the girl hesitated for a moment, then came over and tested the subject cautiously.

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth?"

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms!" Dawei replied a little helplessly.

To be honest, I was very disappointed with the girl in front of me. She had neither the graceful figure of Sister Zhiling Takahashi nor the coquettish voice of Sister Zhiling.

What’s more important is that she came too late and didn’t follow the rules of the game at all.

In anger, Dawei took out his cell phone and wanted to call Jiang Feng to ask him if he could replace the person. If not, he could just give me the 5 Hong Kong dollars and I would take the money to Temple Street to find the money myself.

After the call was made, Dawei just heard the voice of Jiang Feng's assistant Guo Xiaofeng coming from the receiver.

"Hello, Brother Dawei. Brother Feng is blowing balloons in Shichahai now. I can pass on any message you have, or you can call me back in half an hour..."

As soon as he heard Guo Xiaofeng talking about this, Dawei saw a pair of white and tender little hands grabbing his mobile phone and then rubbing it up and down gently.

"Brother Dawei, I sound really good when I call you daddy, how about I call you twice so you can hear it?"

[Brother Feng, you are awesome! The 5 Hong Kong dollars was well spent. I adopted a goddaughter. I love you so much.]

When Jiang Feng received Dawei's text message, he was busy. He had just finished blowing up a balloon and was standing on the shore of Shichahai, preparing to practice the vocalization method taught by Dou Wei.

But when I saw this guy’s text message, I immediately felt happy.

[Take it easy, my buddy will need you to help me choose the cast for my future movies.]

[Don't worry, as long as you let me come to Hong Kong Island once a year, I will help you in any way you ask me to, without any hesitation.]

[Oh, by the way, if I come to visit again next time, can you help me order her? She was born in Taiwan and said she can bring her sister along. ]

〔Get lost.〕

Jiang Feng cursed with a smile, put his phone in his pocket, and started singing facing Shichahai.

The lyrics were random, and each section was not long, about fifty or sixty words. He would stop after singing, and then wait for Guo Xiaofeng, who was sitting in the pavilion opposite, to send him a text message.

If what he heard was correct, Jiang Feng would sing the next paragraph. If not, he would have to adjust his vocalization method to make his singing voice more explosive.

Such repeated practice is boring in content, but the effect is amazing. In the past, when I recorded a song with Zhang Yadong, I basically had to sing it more than 100 times before I could pass it.

Some of them even failed to pass the test and needed sound editing and merging of multiple recordings. But now, after training and under the guidance of Dou Wei, Jiang Feng can basically complete the recording of a song by singing it five or six times, and then move on to the next song.

In such situations, Jiang Feng would sometimes sigh like this: My charming ancestor, what he said was classic and awesome, what is meant by "sharpening the knife before chopping wood"? This is it!
So Jiang Feng exercised more diligently.

In the past, Jiang Feng could blow up 100 balloons in an hour, but now he can basically blow 120 to 130 balloons per hour; in the past, when Jiang Feng was practicing his vocalization, his assistant Guo Xiaofeng was about 60 meters away from him, but now it is 70 meters away.

Time passed very quickly in the busy schedule, and it was early September in the blink of an eye. In 9 days, Jiang Feng not only completed the recording of the entire English album "Natural", but also recorded six songs for his first Chinese rock album "Fly Higher".

On the first day after the recording of the English album "Natural" was completed, Universal Music Asia President Zheng Donghan came to Beijing with his assistants. After listening to the entire music album, he said it was a deal, left 1 million RMB in production fees, and returned to Hong Kong with the master tape of the music album.

As for how to promote this music album?
Jiang Feng didn't know.

When will this music album be released in the European and American music markets?
Jiang Feng didn't know either.

Before Zheng Donghan left, Jiang Feng actually asked him the above two questions through his agent Wang Jinghua, but the old man just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Sister Hua, regarding the specific business of Universal Music, although I have the final say in Asia, this music album will be released globally, so I am sorry that I cannot answer you about this question.

But I can assure you that before September 2000, 9, you will definitely be able to see it in the European and American music markets, or see the news in the entertainment media that the songs from the album "Natural" will be on the US Billboard music charts.

Of course, these have little to do with Jiang Feng.

Because the publicity strategy has been formulated, the album has been recorded with high quality, and the songs selected are classics among classics of the past, if this still cannot create a sensational effect that sweeps the European and American music scene, then, there is nothing we can do.

What's more, on September 2000, 9, Jiang Feng's graduate life at the Film Academy will officially begin.
