1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 70 Yanjing's Daily Life and New Album (Super Essence Chapter, please subscribe)
On the second day after returning to Yanjing, Jiang Xiaofeng got his wish and woke up naturally after falling asleep.

After sleeping until twelve noon, Jiang Xiaofeng stretched and got up from the bed.

Compared with Jiang Xiaofeng, who was sore and limp all over, Tao Hong was busy in the kitchen as if she was fine.

Tao Hong was washing vegetables in the kitchen. When she noticed someone walking, she turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xiaofeng, so she asked with a smile, "Are you up? Have you brushed your teeth yet?"

"Not yet, what to cook?"

Looking at Taohong's graceful back, Jiang Xiaofeng walked forward involuntarily, and then wrapped her arms around her waist from behind.

"Oh, don't make trouble, I'm busy." Tao Hong said so, but in her heart she liked Jiang Xiaofeng's teasing of her.

Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't too presumptuous, he just gave her a joking push, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Jiang Xiaofeng leisurely lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa in the living room to watch TV.

At this time, the opening song of the ancient costume martial arts drama "Heroes with White Eyebrows" was playing on the TV.

"Legend has it that he has an absolutely wonderful and romantic skill
Knife, what kind of knife is it?Gold wire big ring knife!

Sword, what kind of sword?Close the moon shame lightsaber!

What kind of trick is it?Heaven and earth yin and yang tricks!

People, what kind of people..."

After listening to the ending song, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't turn the channel, but just sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while.

Looking at it, Jiang Xiao suddenly discovered that in the movie "Heroes with White Eyebrows", many actors are familiar faces.

Not to mention the leading actor Zhao Hengxuan, there are mainly a few supporting roles, all well-known actors who are familiar to the audience later.

For example, in the play "Heroes with White Eyebrows", Xing Minshan, who played the role of "Little Dharma with Jade Face" Bai Yunrui, later played another classic role, that is, in "Fengyun", "defeating the sword master, breaking Chuchu, rebelling Nameless" Jian Chen.

For example, in the play "Heroes with White Eyebrows", Zhang Zijian, the actor who played the role of "Purple Faced King Kong" Wang Shun, later became not only Yin Jianping in "The Nineteenth Sister Gan", but also Li Yuanfang in "Detective Di Renjie". It is Yan Shuangying in "Flying Tiger and Condor". To put it bluntly, almost every role he plays is the ceiling of force value in the play.

such as……

However, what surprised Jiang Xiaofeng the most about the drama "Heroes with White Eyebrows" was the heroine Li Ting who played two roles in the drama. Anyway, the play is quite beautiful.

"Wash your hands and eat!"

Just when Jiang Xiaofeng was staring at Li Ting, the heroine in the TV series, Taohong called out and brought him back to reality.

In order to reward her boyfriend, Taohong specially cooked a few special dishes for Jiang Xiaofeng, namely tofu shrimp, yuba vermicelli stew, shredded cabbage, and a pot of hot chicken soup, specially for him.

It may be that he consumed too much last night and didn't eat breakfast in the morning, which caused Jiang Xiaofeng's appetite to be so good that he almost drank three bowls of rice in one go.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng eat up all the food he cooked, and hiccupped, Tao Hong felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and had a joyful smile on his face.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to help clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Taohong, saying: "It's okay, I can do it myself, you can sit and make tea."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't force it, and sighed pretending to be sad: "Oh, it's really annoying. Why is my life so good? It doesn't matter if my girlfriend is beautiful and in good shape. The key is to be so virtuous and hardworking. I'm looking for Who is going to make sense."

Jiang Xiaofeng's words made Taohong tremble wildly, and replied with a smile: "Brother, if you can talk, talk more, sister, I like to listen!"

After a few jokes, Tao Hong went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes, while Jiang Xiaofeng sipped tea and watched TV in the living room.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

The living room phone rang.

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hi, please find Jiang Xiaofeng for me, please."

"Don't bother me."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, the person on the other end of the phone teased excitedly: "Monk, it's really you, you're a good guy, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the phone is installed at home."

Jiang Xiaofeng had already recognized that the person speaking opposite was Jiang Wen, and replied with a smile: "Director Jiang, long time no see, don't come here, how did you know my phone number?"

Jiang Wen said disapprovingly: "It's not easy. Master Shuo told me, what's the matter, are you in Yanjing now? I heard that you went to Xiangjiang, and I want to try my luck to see if you have returned to Yanjing. In the end, you are really serious." came back."

"It's not me who is a monk. I really have you. I never dreamed that you, a monk, are now a singer in Xiangjiang."

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Director Jiang, I think I need to explain to you again, I was not a monk before my mother, I used to be a monk!"

"Is it important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Is it important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Well, since you said it's important, it's important. I've decided not to call you a monk anymore."

"It's okay, just call me, I'm used to it!"

"You are...interesting!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaofeng loves to chat, but he is very afraid to chat with Jiang Wen. He feels that talking to him is very strenuous and tiring, and he can't keep up with him. It's very artificial to follow him up and down, and he can't control the right to speak, so the conversation seems very passive.

For Jiang Wen, movies are a very sacred thing, but also a very sad thing for him.

He believes that movies should be engaged in by those who love movies. This kind of love should be very pure, reckless, and cannot be mixed with other things.

Compared with this standard, Jiang Xiaofeng always felt embarrassed, as if he had done something that was sorry for the movie and made the movie vulgar.

Because the reason why Jiang Xiaofeng took over the film "Sunny Day" was because he thought it was fresh, and he was paid for it.

Although up to now, Jiang Wen had promised him 5000 yuan for the film, Jiang Xiaofeng only got 3000 yuan, which is still 2000 yuan short.

After chatting on the phone for more than ten minutes, Jiang Wen felt that he couldn't get enough, so he invited Jiang Xiaofeng to visit his newly opened film company.

After tidying up the kitchen, Tao Hong came to the living room and asked curiously, "Who did you talk to on the phone just now, and you were so happy?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "Director Jiang Wen."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Tao Hong asked with interest: "Why does he want you?"

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head: "I don't know, he asked me to go to his company to find him, do you want to go together?"

Originally, Taohong wanted to go, but just happened to have something to go home at home, so she didn't go with Jiang Xiaofeng.

In other words, after "Sunny Day" won the grand prize at the Venice Film Festival, Jiang Wen and his friends were delighted to turn this spirit into substance, and immediately established "Sunny Production Company".

The company is in a small white building on the south side of Sanyuan Bridge - No. 1, Jiang Xiaofeng saw this house number and felt like an important unit.

Sunny Productions was established in February 1995. In the first few months, the main job was to announce and release the movie "Sunny Day".

When Jiang Xiaofeng came to Jiang Wen's office, the first thing he saw were embroidered portraits of Ma, En, Lie, Si, and Mao on the wall, and a photo of Jiang Wen and the actor Fang Hua.

Fang Hua, an old actor, Jiang Xiaofeng must have known. Before the filming of the movie "Sunny Day", Fang Hua was known as a "professional devil".

According to incomplete statistics, Fang Hua has filmed dozens of film and television works during his 48 years of filming, but he has always played villains like enemy officers or small bosses.

Fang Hua once dreamed that one day he must play a decent character, and finally this long-cherished wish was realized in 1993. In the movie "Sunny Day", Fang Hua played a senior general of our army.

Although the role in the film is only a few minutes long, Fang Hua is very satisfied with his long-cherished wish fulfilled. He finally played the role of a PLA in his lifetime and realized his "dream of a general".

However, Jiang Xiaofeng was a little puzzled, why did Jiang Wen hang up a photo of himself and Fang Hua in his office.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng looking at the photo of himself and Fang Hua, Jiang Wen was also hurt by the scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In our Huaguo film industry, old actors like Fang Hua are missing one by one."

Jiang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Director, did I hear correctly? Mr. Fang is gone?"

Jiang Wen nodded and left: "Well, I left in November last year."

Hearing Jiang Wen's answer, Jiang Xiaofeng was surprised and sad.

Jiang Wen then said: "Monk, I came to you today mainly to tell you something."

Jiang Xiaofeng asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wen said solemnly: "Monk, listen carefully—our movie is about to be released!"

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiang Xiaofeng was taken aback again, and said to himself, how long has it been since the filming was finished, and he has won an international award, dare to say that the movie "Sunny Day" has not been released yet.

If it wasn't for Jiang Wen looking for him today, Jiang Xiaofeng would have almost forgotten that he had made the movie "Sunny Day".

Of course, this can't be blamed on Jiang Xiaofeng's ignorance. The main reason is that in this era, information is blocked. Jiang Xiaofeng rarely goes to the cinema to watch movies. In the past six months, he has developed in Xiangjiang, so it is impossible to know everything.

Knowing that the movie "Sunny Day" has not yet been released, Jiang Xiaofeng also feels sorry for Teacher Fang Hua. If he is still alive, he will be able to attend the premiere of the movie together.

However, during this meeting, Jiang Wen also fulfilled his promise, and handed over the 2000 yuan salary he owed to Jiang Xiaofeng, not a small amount, to Jiang Xiaofeng.

Although these 20 blue hundred-yuan bills are really nothing to Jiang Xiaofeng today, Jiang Wenyan's trustworthy principles of life, he still appreciates them very much.

From Jiang Xiaofeng's point of view, he, Jiang Xiaofeng, could not take the 2000 yuan, but he, Jiang Wen, had to give it.

7 month 25 day.

Nearly two years after the start of filming, the national premiere of "Sunny Day" was held in Shanghai. Jiang Wen led the film crew to Shanghai.

At the Shanghai premiere, the film "Sunny Day" was released and screened using the same standard as imported blockbusters.

Although in the movie "Sunny Day", Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong are the second male lead and the second female lead respectively, but this movie is a work of love between the two, which means a lot to them.

It was a rare opportunity this time, Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong naturally sat together at the premiere, admiring their work of love.

In the process of watching the movie "Sunny Day", looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes in the movie, Jiang Xiaofeng was also full of emotions, always feeling as if he had passed away.

In fact, it has been less than two years since he participated in this movie, but Jiang Xiaofeng felt that it seemed like a long time had passed, and it happened when he was a child. That was true, at that time he was still a boy, and Tao Hong was still a girl.

On the day of the premiere of the film, Fang Hua's family also came to the scene and watched the film "Sunny Day".

After the screening of the film, Teacher Fang's family met with Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen said to them: "My biggest regret is that I couldn't let the elderly see myself in military uniform in front of the big screen."

After attending the premiere of "Sunny Day", Jiang Xiaofeng and Taohong did not spend much time in the Shanghai stock market, and returned to Yanjing together the next day.

This evening.

The weather in Yanjing was still a bit stuffy. Jiang Xiaofeng felt that the room was too hot, and he didn't want to use the air conditioner or fan, so he moved two reclining chairs and went with Taohong to enjoy the cool under the grape shed.

At this time, the dense grape branches and vines have covered the shelves, and the grape shed is like a pergola.

Under the big green grape leaves, clusters of crystal-clear and transparent grapes hang, green and round, like bright gems.

Thinking that he would leave Yanjing in a few days, and the grapes on the vine were not yet ripe, Jiang Xiaofeng would inevitably feel a little regretful, then swallowed, and said, "It will take a while before we can eat it."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng swallowing saliva secretly, Taohong smiled and said softly: "If you want to eat, you can eat it now, but it may be a little sour."

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head: "Let's forget it. I don't like to eat sour grapes. When the grapes are ripe, they will become sweeter. It won't be too late for me to come back and taste them."

Tao Hong said sadly: "Then when will you come back next time?"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hide it from Tao Hong either, and said, "I don't know, maybe a month or two, maybe half a year, depending on the specific work arrangements."

"But it's okay, if I can't eat it this year, then I'll wait for next year."

"If I can't eat it next year, then I will wait for the year after next year. By this time of the year after next year, my contract has expired long ago. When I return to Yanjing to develop, I will definitely be able to eat it..."

There is no doubt that Jiang Xiaofeng definitely prefers the capital Yanjing to the bustling, modern and fast-paced Xiangjiang.

Of course, when Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing this time, besides working day and night with Taohong, he also chatted with friends.

Regarding his new album, Jiang Xiaofeng also has a lot of ideas. Generally speaking, an album has a total of 10 songs, and Jiang Xiaofeng plans to complete the lyrics and music of these 10 songs by himself.

However, unlike the "Jiang Xiaofeng" record, Jiang Xiaofeng was still a little restrained at that time, because he didn't understand a lot of things, and he was still groping, and he didn't dare to show his true strength.

But this time, Jiang Xiaofeng went for the top "divine professional" in the Chinese music scene, just wanted to make a particularly awesome record, and didn't intend to hide his strength anymore.

During the time back to Yanjing, Jiang Xiaofeng also selected 10 songs from his "song library" and prepared to put them in the new album.

Among these 10 songs, 5 songs are hit songs of later generations, and 5 songs may not be popular, but they are all good songs of high quality. In business and art, they have made a rather subtle difference. balance.

After careful consideration, Jiang Xiaofeng finally decided to use the song "Friends" as the first title of the new album.

The second song of the new album is "Ten Years". This song can be said to be the Mandarin version of "Next Year Today". Jiang Xiaofeng only needs to change the Cantonese lyrics of "Next Year Today" into Mandarin lyrics. You don't need to change too much, just a little modification.

The third song is "Only", the song "Only". Jiang Xiaofeng thinks that this song has a good meaning and has the potential to become popular. He also sang this song to Taohong himself as his confession to her. Tao Hong was so moved that her face squeaked.

The fourth song is "Cold to the End". This is Yuquan's famous masterpiece. Jiang Xiaofeng personally likes it very much. As a former rock singer, Jiang Xiaofeng also hopes that every record he has can have a song that can be popular rock songs.

The fifth song is "Love Because of Love", which is known as Xie Tingfeng's most popular song and is also his famous masterpiece. Jiang Xiaofeng thinks the style of this song is very suitable for him, and the lyrics are quite interesting.

These 5 hit songs have all been ranked in the top ten or even top five in a certain year, especially the two songs "Ten Years" and "Friends". The kind of song that entered the annals of the Chinese pop music scene.

Any one of these five songs by Jiang Xiaofeng can make a newcomer in the music scene an instant hit and have his own place in the music scene.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng still has reservations about this new album, because he didn't show his full strength, but only [-]% of his skills. If he wants, he can release another one now, which is better than this one. An even better record.

But Jiang Xiaofeng didn't do this, because he knew very well in his heart that if he made a super awesome god-level record now, which he couldn't surpass, then he would have no room for improvement in the future, and he would never be able to break through himself. Moreover, the fans' expectations of him will be much higher.

And Jiang Xiaofeng has only debuted for two years now, and is in the rising stage of his acting career. He still wants to continue to improve, and for the time being, he doesn't want to let himself "exhaust his talents" so soon.
