1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 125 Invest in "Xiao Wu" and explore the crew of "Returning the Pearl"!
Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't make a decision for the time being, so she said to Chen Jiaying: "Sister Katie, let me think about it? After I think about it, I'll give you an answer, okay?"

Chen Jiaying didn't ask Jiang Xiaofeng to answer right away, but said to him tolerantly: "Feng Zi, you don't have to worry, I'll give you a month to think about it, and after a month, you have to give me a decision."

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Okay sister Katie, I understand, I will seriously consider it."

After having this dinner with Chen Jiaying and saying goodbye to Chen Jiaying, Jiang Xiaofeng took a special car and went back to his mansion in Xiangjiang.

Jiang Xiaofeng sat on the sofa in the living room, lighted a cigarette casually, and just took two puffs when the landline in the living room rang.

Gigi Leung called, asking when Jiang Xiaofeng would return to Yanjing.

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "I will return to Yanjing tomorrow."

Gigi Leung on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "I may have to wait a little longer before going to Yanjing to meet you

On the other hand, it's not so fast. Recently, the company has arranged a lot of work. "

Jiang Xiaofeng gave a "hmm" and said, "I know, remember to tell me in advance when you ask for leave."

"I know, I will definitely tell you in advance."

After talking on the phone with Gigi Leung, Jiang Xiaofeng fell into deep thought.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng knew very well that he wanted to ask Gigi Leung everywhere, mainly because he was greedy for Gigi Leung's body, and his liking for her as just a friend was far from the level of love.

But because Jiang Xiaofeng cherished his feathers too much, he refused to go on a private date with Gigi Leung in Xiangjiang. As a result, the two had never had a chance to be alone since they had known each other for so long.

Jiang Xiaofeng always felt a little uncomfortable. If the appointment was not made after such a long time, it would be a little bit reconciled.

The next day, early in the morning, Jiang Xiaofeng set off for Yanjing.

Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing this time, because there were too many things to deal with, so he didn't meet Tao Hong and Gao Yuanyuan immediately, and wanted to meet them again after the matter was settled.

Gao Yuanyuan had just finished the college entrance examination for less than a month, and she was also panicking at home, counting the stars and looking forward to the moon every day, listening to the songs in Jiang Xiaofeng's new album, hoping that she could meet her lover Jiang Xiaofeng as soon as possible.

Jiang Xiaofeng was extremely busy when he returned to Yanjing this time. Apart from rectifying the company, he also had to write songs for Xu Huaiyu's new album.

However, there is one important thing that Jiang Xiaofeng has not forgotten, which is to choose a good day to poke a hole for Yuanyuan...

May 8st, morning.

Century Records.

Not long after Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the company, Ke Zhaolei told him that someone was looking for him recently.

"Who is it?" Jiang Xiaofeng asked suspiciously.

Ke Zhaolei said, "He said his name is Jia Zhangke, and he has been here several times."

Jiang Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Did he say why he wanted me?"

Ke Zhaolei denied it: "I didn't say it, I guess, it's irresponsible to guess, he might want to borrow money from you."

"He didn't say anything about the specific situation. I don't know."

After hearing Ke Zhaolei's words, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't find it strange, and he probably guessed that Jia Zhangke asked him to invest in the film.

Sure enough, after a while, Jia Zhangke came to him and said that he was going to make a movie called "Jin Xiaoyong's buddy, Hu Haimei's brother, and Liang Changyou's son: Xiao Wu". Invite Jiang Xiaofeng to participate in the performance, and by the way, ask for investment. Of course, the main reason is to ask Jiang Xiaofeng to attract investment.

It was the first time for Jiang Xiaofeng to see such a long movie title, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Old Jia, you are fucking kidding me, this movie title is too fucking long, isn't it? Why don't you call it "Xiao Wu" directly? Just keep it simple."

Jia Zhangke also felt that Xiao Wu lacked the spirit of resistance, because as a thief, Xiao Wu was originally a subverter of the social order, but he suffered from the repeated loss of friendship, love and affection, and he was obedient and did nothing.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaofeng put forward his opinion to him, Jia Zhangke immediately decided to change the title of the script to "Xiao Wu".

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't have time to read the script of "Xiao Wu", so he asked Jia Zhangke to give him a brief introduction to the plot.

The script "Xiao Wu" tells the story of Liang Xiaowu, a "pickpocket" who lives in a small county in the middle of the country. After losing his friendship, love and affection one after another, he finally loses his freedom and becomes a prisoner.

After listening to Jia Zhangke's introduction to the script of "Xiao Wu", Jiang Xiaofeng had a hunch in his heart that if the movie "Xiao Wu" was made, it would have a chance to win awards abroad, or even win awards, but in China, it might not If you are banned, don't think about releasing it.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng felt that Xiao Wu, the leading actor, was too useless and marginal to suit him at all.

If he acted in the movie "Xiao Wu", his image will definitely be damaged, and the number of fans will drop by at least 10%.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Xiaofeng said directly to Jia Zhangke: "Old Jia, I can't act in the movie "Xiao Wu"."

Jia Zhangke wasn't surprised, and he didn't expect a big name like Jiang Xiaofeng to act in his movie.

He came to Jiang Xiaofeng this time mainly to seek investment from Jiang Xiaofeng. Of course it would be best for Jiang Xiaofeng to be willing to act, and it's normal if he doesn't want to, but he hopes in his heart that Jiang Xiaofeng can invest in his movie.

There is a saying that someone is doing this decapitation business, but no one dares to mess with this loss-making business.

As a person in the film and television industry, Jiang Xiaofeng knows very well that investing in Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" movie is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and it is impossible to make money if you go there and never return.

However, after listening to Jia Zhangke's explanation of his intentions, Jiang Xiaofeng did not immediately reject Jia Zhangke, but asked with a smile, "Old Jia, how much do you plan to pay for the movie "Xiao Wu"?"

Jia Zhangke thought about it carefully, and then said: "20, if there is no 20, 15 will be enough..."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xiaofeng asked, "Old Jia, can you tell me why you made this movie?"

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is very rich now, 20 is a drop in the bucket for him, but he is not the one to waste money.

Regarding how to spend money, Jiang Xiaofeng also has his own principles, that is, it is worth spending, and only when he spends clearly can he be considered worthy of himself.

Jia Zhangke thought about it seriously, and said: "The most important factor that inspired me to make this film is the impact of changes on human relationships."

"What kind of relationship is this? What kind of relationship are there? There is a relationship between friends, a relationship between family, and a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Coincidentally, when I was preparing to conceive the script of "Xiao Wu", I read a previous article. The structure of the story is similar to Ding Ling's friend, Chen Huangmei's nephew, and so-and-so's niece. When criticizing someone, first define his relationships."

"This is the world of our Chinese people, so I want to tell a story of a changing era, and it can also start from the relationship between people, so the structure is built from the relationship between people in the real world..."

After listening to Jia Zhangke's long speech, Jiang Xiaofeng was deeply touched. Not only did he understand Jia Zhangke's inner thoughts, but he also began to feel that the story of "Xiao Wu" has its merits and is not completely meaningless.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng said to Jia Zhangke: "Old Jia, I admire your courage. I voted for the 20 yuan. You can go to the finance department to get the money!"

Jia Zhangke was also very excited. He held Jiang Xiaofeng's hand and said gratefully, "Director Jiang, thank you, thank you for your investment!"

After receiving the 20 investment from Jiang Xiaofeng, Jia Zhangke only said thanks and goodbye to Jiang Xiaofeng, and left Century Records as if fleeing.

Not long after Jia Zhangke left, Jiang Xiaofeng received a call from He Xiuqiong, the producer of "My Fair Princess".

At this time, He Xiuqiong happened to be in Yanjing, because the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which she was the producer of, had already been launched in Yanjing for more than a month.

However, from the first day of work, the crew of "Returning the Pearl and Gege" was very unsatisfactory.

In the original list of actors in "My Fair Princess", Lin Xinru was not originally included.

For the first time, the actress who was appointed internally was the actress who played Ziwei and Little Swallow. She should have a little kung fu, so as not to use a double as a substitute, so a newcomer with experience in acting was appointed.

Later, the newcomer picked up a film a week before the filming of "My Fair Princess" and informed the crew that she would report late. The crew couldn't accept such a thing and decided to rearrange the roles temporarily.

At this time, the sweet-looking Lin Xinru was considered, but she didn't have much filming experience. I was afraid that she would not be able to play the role of Little Swallow, so I arranged for her to play the role of Ziwei, and tuned the more flexible actress Zhao Weiwei to play Little Swallow.

The mainland actor who played Ji Xiaolan was filmed for two days, but was replaced for some reason.Then, the actor who played the role of Nanny Rong was replaced by Li Mingqi because of his physical disobedience...

Seeing that "My Fair Princess" is on the right track, the producer He Xiuqiong also heaved a sigh of relief. He also heard that Jiang Xiaofeng had returned to Yanjing, so she called Jiang Xiaofeng and wanted to invite him to dinner. "The opening song composed and sung by this drama - "When".

Jiang Xiaofeng also readily agreed, and was still on the phone, saying to He Xiuqiong: "This is Beijing. As the host, there is no reason for you, a guest, to treat you. I must treat this meal!"

Now that Jiang Xiaofeng had already mentioned this point, He Xiuqiong no longer insisted, and accepted Jiang Xiaofeng's banquet with pleasure.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also very interesting, and invited He Xiuqiong and her assistant to have lunch at Yanjing Hotel.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Xiaofeng said with great interest: "Mr. He, I happen to have nothing to do this afternoon. Can I visit your "Returning the Pearl" crew?"

He Xiuqiong said bluntly: "Of course it is possible. If a big star like you can come to our film crew, it is too late for us to welcome you. How could it not be possible?"

So, accompanied by He Xiuqiong and others, Jiang Xiaofeng came to one of the filming locations of "My Fair Princess" - Prince Gong's Mansion.

Jiang Xiaofeng was quite familiar with Prince Gong's Mansion. When he was filming "Sunny Day", he often wandered around here.

ps. Thank you book friend Ye Yin for your reward and encouragement.
