Entertainment 1998

"Director, honestly, it doesn't matter which role you let me play.

But you have to make others remember me, even if you only give me 2 minutes of screen time, 10 years later, fans can still clearly remember what I played in the movie "Cell Phone", then I will be successful." Huang Shengyi smiled a little embarrassedly when she said this.

“Director, after so many years, I believe you can still remember the prostitute in Stephen Chow’s movie “From Beijing with You”, the soy sauce in “Shaolin Soccer” and Ruhua in “Flirting Scholar”.

Well, I want to be like them.”

"Okay... I understand."

Without thinking twice, Jiang Feng took the movie script from Huang Shengyi's hand and handed it to the crew member beside him.

"Huang Shengyi, you don't have to come over recently. Well, I will arrange a role for you in half a month.

I can’t say anything else, but you played my role and moviegoers will remember you for 50 years, well, even 100 years.”

"what…"

Huang Shengyi blinked, seeming a little bit unbelieving.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my words!"

Jiang Feng smiled and went to the shooting site. At this time, the makeup artist Mark was already waving at him.

After filming the third scene, Jiang Feng was about to appear on stage, and now he should put on makeup in advance.

Mark's makeup skills are getting better and better.

In the past, it usually took this guy more than half an hour to put makeup on actors. Sometimes, even half an hour was not enough to achieve the effect Jiang Feng wanted.

But now, as long as the makeup is not too complicated, requires a headpiece, or requires drastic age adjustments, Mark can complete the actor's makeup in 10 minutes.

Just like now, Jiang Feng had just finished thinking about how to add the role of a mobile phone salesman in the movie, and Mark patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Feng, look, are you quite satisfied with my makeup?"

Looking in the direction of his finger, Jiang Feng saw a middle-aged man in the mirror with slightly gray hair on his temples, slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and slightly drooping corners of his mouth.

"Well, that's good!"

Jiang Feng, who had already changed into a suit, carefully examined his image and felt good about it, so he gave Mark a thumbs up.

"Mark, awesome!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Brother Feng. As long as you are satisfied, it's fine." Faced with Jiang Feng's compliments, Mark hesitated a little. However, after thinking about it seriously, he put his mouth close to Jiang Feng's ear and whispered:

"Brother Feng!
I am in love. This boy and I are very good friends. We plan to be together for the rest of our lives, so after a while, we decided to hold a banquet as an engagement ceremony.

Actually, it wasn’t really an engagement party. He just invited his friends and I invited my friends to have a meal at my house.

Liu Jie, Zhuang Kai, Dawei, Shi Guanghui and others have already agreed to attend, and so have Fan Jiuyi, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Xing. Now I want to invite you to come over..."

A bit shocked.

Although the relationship between Mark and her boyfriend is not recognized under China's current legal framework, Jiang Feng still agreed to go over and congratulate him. After all, this guy has been his makeup artist for seven or eight years.

Everyone has become friends a long time ago, and Mark and Gao Yuanyuan, Li Xing and Fan Jiuyi have even become de facto besties.

"Okay, no problem!" Jiang Feng agreed readily.

"But, Mark, you know I'm too busy. Before you do anything, please let me know in advance."

"Hehe..., Brother Feng, I knew you would treat me well, so the date is January 2005, 1, which happens to be my birthday.

Of course, that day was also the day when the series “The Emperor of Han Wu” was broadcast, so it was a double blessing for us.”

At this point, Mark lowered his voice again.

"Brother Feng, aren't you curious about who that man is?"

"Who is it?" Jiang Feng asked as he walked towards the shooting site.

"Teacher Ho."

"I have already made an agreement with Mr. He that from now on, as long as we are actors on your side and are promoting film and television programs on Mango TV, he will give us special care."

groove…

After hearing what Mark said, Jiang Feng cursed directly.

I heard in my previous life that Lao He’s boyfriend was a makeup artist. I didn’t expect that this makeup artist would actually be my most capable assistant.

Where can I go to seek justice?

……

"Action!"

Standing in the living room of the villa, watching the items on the bookshelf disappear one by one, Jiang Feng, holding a mobile phone in his hand, seemed to understand something.

One year ago today, in this villa, Fan Jiuyi was fighting with the gangsters.

The ornaments on the bookshelf are the weapons that Fan Jiuyi threw at the criminals during the fight between the two.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng shouted into the phone: "Yanxiu, run!"

"OK, very good, next scene."

"Action!"

"Yeonsu, yes, run out from the back."

"There's a door at the back. After running out, there's the security booth of the community. Old Huang at the security booth and I have a very good relationship. Normally, you wouldn't let me smoke, so I would often get some 'White General' from Old Huang."

"Yes, Lao Huang knows you. If you just run over, he can help you stop the criminals. Then you will have the opportunity to drive to the police station and report the crime."

"Yes, go and call the police yourself, because only when you go to the police station will you be completely safe."

Although I couldn't see what happened to my wife in the villa a year ago, the items on the bookshelf reappeared one by one.

Jiang Feng knew that under his command, Fan Jiuyi seemed to be out of danger.

Well, also, over the past year or so, all the information that I had written down in a black notebook in order to track down the murderer, now reappeared one by one in this black notebook.

"OK, passed, next scene."

As the scenes were filmed one after another, Director Dawei became more and more confident. At the beginning of filming, he habitually came to Jiang Feng to seek advice.

But as the filming went on, this guy started to take charge of his own business. He sat behind the director's monitor and when he saw that there were no problems with the on-site filming, he continued with the rest.

As long as Dawei didn't come to ask, Jiang Feng was happy to be left alone.

It has been seven or eight years since I started filming the movie "Moon". I have always been in control of the whole scene. After shooting a scene, I will watch it back at least 4 to 5 times until I feel there are no problems, and then I will start filming the next scene.

Now...

Jiang Feng's most tiring job is hiding from coal boss Zhang Yaping.

Ever since he promised Huang Shengyi that he would give her a role that would be remembered by moviegoers, coal boss Zhang Yaping has relapsed.

Things were delivered to the crew in truckloads, including pineapples from Taiwan, bananas from Hainan Province, Laiyang pears from Shandong Province, red sausages from Ice City, and so on.

No matter whether the people in the crew like to eat it or not, he just has to pull truckloads of it here.

Unlike the previous period, after the filming of the movie "Cell Phone" started, all the things were personally escorted to the crew by this guy.

The first thing Zhang Yaping did when he arrived at the crew was to look for Jiang Feng all over the shooting scene. After finding him, this guy didn't talk about anything else.

All he said was words of thanks. "Jiang Feng, thank you. I made money again from the stocks I bought with you."

"Jiang Feng, let me tell you a secret. Jingdong's CFO Wang Ge told me that I made a fortune this time. I invested at a valuation of 10 billion US dollars, and not long after, Jingdong's valuation has risen to 15 billion US dollars."

"Jiang Feng, why do I feel like you are older than me? Well, I'm talking about mentality. Look, I'm 41 years old this year, and the girl I like is only 22 years old. This little girl named Huang is pretty, gentle and obedient.

I said I liked sitting on the balcony to bask in the sun, and when I came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she was already waiting for me on the balcony, naked.

Jiang Feng, and you?
Many of the women I like are already in their 40s. Although a Ferrari from the 80s is still a Ferrari, all its parts have aged and you can't drive it at high speed.

It will surely fall apart..."

Damn, Jiang Feng wanted to swear when he heard the analogy made by the old man in front of him.

Since you know it's an old car, why are you driving so fast? !
After a few complaints in his mind, Jiang Feng started to avoid him.

But the crew is so small, and no matter how hard Jiang Feng tries, this fat guy can always find him in the first place.

Seeing that he really couldn't avoid it, Jiang Feng made up his mind, called Dawei over and changed the movie script, and directly arranged a policeman role for the fat Zhang Yaping in the movie.

Seeing Jiang Feng being so willful, Dawei wanted to argue with him at first:
Brother Feng, this is art, how can you just insert people into the crew? ! Besides, you are already rich enough, can't we be tougher and not bow down for a few dollars?

However, before Dawei could finish his words, he announced with a smile: "Attention everyone in the crew, let's try our best to make Mr. Zhang look better."

Upon hearing the command, the 85 crew members responded in unison.

"it is good!"

The reason for this is that Boss Zhang is a very nice person. He came to the crew to play the role of a policeman and actually gave every staff member in the crew a bonus of 2 RMB.

wipe…

Brother Dawei, we strongly request you to give Mr. Zhang more scenes!
...

In this way, time passes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it is December 12nd and the movie "Cell Phone" has been filmed for 22 days.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Huang Shengyi arrived at the door of the Guiwei BBQ restaurant in Heizhima Hutong, Nanluoguxiang on time.

Regarding Huang Shengyi's guest role in the movie "Cell Phone", the crew will be filming here.

Although, I will come here to shoot today.

But until now, Huang Shengyi still doesn't know what role she will play, what lines she will have, and what the character's personality will be like.

Because there is no script yet.

Arriving at Heizhima Hutong, Huang Shengyi saw the crew members busy setting up the shooting scene in the hutong. She wanted to find Director Dawei, or Jiang Feng, to ask them where her movie script was.

But before he found these two, Huang Shengyi saw an acquaintance, a middle-aged man with gray hair, who got out of a car and happily came to the door of the Guiwei BBQ restaurant.

"Gentlemen, where is Director Jiang Feng?"

"Hello, Mr. Star!"

"Master Xing, I like you so much!"

"Star Lord, I love you."

"Master Xing, look here. I'm also from Hong Kong Island. I've been filming with Director Jiang for 6 years. I didn't expect to see you here."

"thanks, thanks!"

Zhou Xingxing was very happy to be welcomed by everyone at the shooting site and kept bowing to everyone to express his gratitude.

At this time, a young man walked out of the Guiwei BBQ restaurant from the side.

When the young man saw Zhou Xingxing, he smiled and opened his arms.

"Hello, Mr. Xing, welcome to my crew for a guest appearance."

"You're welcome, Boss Jiang.

After all, this is what we agreed upon in the beginning, you come to my crew of Kung Fu, and I will come to your crew to make a cameo appearance." Although he often comes to the mainland, Zhou Xingxing's Mandarin is really puzzling.

Not only did people from Hong Kong Island not understand, even people from the mainland couldn't understand, so Jiang Feng took the initiative to switch to Cantonese communication mode.

"Master Xing, this scene is very simple, it only takes two minutes. You are a customer eating at this barbecue restaurant. After eating, you come out of the restaurant and run into Huang Shengyi..."

At this point, Jiang Feng called Huang Shengyi over again and said in Mandarin: "Huang Shengyi, you are a mobile phone seller. Since this smart phone has just been launched, it is not yet recognized by the world.

So your sales performance is very bad, and the store manager asks you to buy a mobile phone with your own money. You have no choice but to go home with the phone.

But at this time you see Stephen Chow, he is a big star, so you run over to sell him your smartphone."

"and then?"

Zhou Xingxing and Huang Shengyi asked at the same time.

"Then the phone was not sold. I passed by here and felt sorry for Huang Shengyi, so I bought this smartphone from her. After inserting the SIM card, I received a call from my wife who passed away a year ago." After saying this, Jiang Feng turned around and was about to leave. Guan Xiulin came from Hong Kong Island with her son and was now in the Guiwei BBQ restaurant.

Jiang Feng wanted to talk to her more, and it would be best if he could get her to move to Beijing so that the child could receive education here.

But at this time, Zhou Xingxing reached out and grabbed him.

"Boss Jiang..."

"Ok?"

"There are some things you haven't finished saying yet. If we meet, how should she sell me a mobile phone? And how should I refuse?"

"Uh huh huh!!!"

As soon as Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, Huang Shengyi nodded rapidly.

What Stephen Chow said is so right. Asking people to act without explaining the plot and lines is just hooliganism.

"Master Xing..."

"Ok?"

"You have also seen my movies. Do you feel that they are very vulgar? Some of the plots even make you feel sick?"

"It's not disgusting, but it's certainly quite vulgar." Zhou Xingxing has no other advantages except that he is quite down-to-earth. Of course, he is not afraid of offending people when he speaks, otherwise Xiang Tai would not have kept biting him.

As soon as Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, he saw Jiang Feng turning his head to Huang Shengyi.

"Huang Shengyi..."

"Director, what do you say?"

"Do you want your fans to remember you forever? Even 50 or 100 years from now, whenever they talk about the movie Cell Phone, they will immediately give a thumbs up and say that Huang Shengyi did a great job."

"Yes!" Huang Shengyi scratched his head.

This is the request I made to him when the filming started. Why is he repeating it now?

Just when Huang Shengyi was thinking about asking why, Jiang Feng spoke.

"So what are you waiting for? Why don't you two quickly design your own storylines and lines..."
