Chapter 391: Surrender
Seeing that there was no one next to him, Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask: "It is said that the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry are very powerful, and you are also a veteran, director, do you have any special insights?" ”
The director looked at Jiang Feng very strangely, and then said with a smile: "This is the boss, you will ask it face to face, and no one else can ask me directly." ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, things always have two sides, when you untly rule others, others are also unspoken about you." ”
"Oh? How should this be understood? Jiang Feng came to be interested.
"Take me. You see, on the surface, there are also five people and six people. But there are indeed not a few actresses who throw their arms at me behind my back. The director said to Jiang Feng.
Hey, this guy is interesting.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, most people pay attention to a sanctimonious appearance on the surface, but behind the scenes, there are male thieves and female prostitutes, and few people have the courage to expose their private lives and tell them to others.
The director continued: "However, I also want to talk about the principle, and I can't get dizzy and assign roles indiscriminately just because someone takes the initiative to sleep with me." Making a good movie is the basic duty of a director, and it is also fundamental, if you can't make a good film, everything is nonsense. If the unspoken rules are weak, not only will no one ask me to make films in the future, but good things like the unspoken rules will not be my turn! ”
"You've seen it very well. But why are you telling me so much detail? This must be a very personal matter, right? Jiang Feng asked.
"Because I want to find a permanent boss." The director looked at Jiang Feng and replied very seriously.
When the director took over this play, he had a thorough understanding of the details of the investor through his own relationships. knew that Jiang Feng was a super-rich man, and he also knew that Jiang Feng was a very protective person, but any of his subordinates would not let them suffer.
Because he had no direct contact before, the director was not clear about Jiang Feng, and through getting along in the past two days, he found a problem. Jiang Feng has both money and wisdom, and he can use people, dare to use people, and let go of his hands and feet. This kind of boss is simply rare in the world. So he had the idea of doing something.
As a professional director, it is generally a two-way choice with investors, who value the director's popularity and actual directing ability, and the director values the economic strength and past reputation of the investor. Of course, you also have to consider the quality of the script, just like if you ask Zhang Yimou to direct a tertiary film, most likely he will not agree. This kind of self-destructive thing will not be agreed to by most genuine directors. Although Fa Ge Viagra has made third-level films, Shu Qi has even made more two-level films than third-level. That was all a helpless move by the investment bank at the beginning. Later, when he became famous, he naturally cherished his feathers, and the director was the same.
"Looking for a regular boss?" Jiang Feng didn't expect the other party to bring up this topic, and he was a little stunned for a while, he invited this director, who is very famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is also admired by everyone in the mainland, and can be said to be one of the few big names in the industry, he suddenly proposed to be his queen director. It was a bit of a surprise.
There's nothing wrong with that, right? Jiang Feng didn't believe that he already had the qi of Wang Ba now, and he could eat both men and women if he stopped there.
As the saying goes, there is no free dinner in the world, and this person suddenly has the heart to serve, and it must not be without reason.
After getting confirmation from the other party. Jiang Feng was a little hesitant, he asked, "Why?" Wouldn't it be nice to be a free man? ”
The director shook his head and said to Jiang Feng with a wry smile: "Boss, you are probably not very familiar with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, in fact, the director over there." Like actors, they are subject to the control of the community. ”
About Hong Kong artists who have been deeply controlled by the triad community from the beginning. Jiang Feng knows a thing or two, one of which is the conflict between Anita Mui and Huang Langwei.
On May 4, 1992, Huang Langwei, the proprietor of the film company and the owner of 14K Hall, had an argument with Anita Mui at Takeone Karaoke in Kowloon Tong. There was an argument in the words, and Anita Mui was slapped and left angrily. On May 5, Wong was seriously injured in an ambush with a knife and was admitted to the Hong Kong Baptist Hospital. On May 7, two hitmen pretended to be sick and shot Huang Langwei at close range at the hospital, killing Huang instantly.
According to the post-mortem analysis, although Anita Mui did not know Huang Langwei, she obviously knew his name and knew that he had a deep relationship with the underworld. Huang Langwei relied on his identity as an underworld boss and asked Anita Mui to sing a song for himself, which he thought was not too much, but was rejected by Anita Mui, of course, he was annoyed and angry, and it was inevitable to speak ill of him.
It's just that Anita Mui's backstage is tougher, and she actually buys murder, and Huang Langwei doesn't understand whose hands he planted until he dies.
Because Huang Langwei is also a person in the rivers and lakes, within a few days, there was a shooting incident at the gate of Yongsheng Company, and the Xiang brothers then dealt with the matter in Hong Kong, settling the black and white, because Huang Langwei is the owner of 14K, and finally Anita Mui paid 10 million Hong Kong dollars to settle the matter.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? The entertainment industry is a battlefield for chasing fame and fortune, and it is also a golden paradise for money laundering in the underworld. Gangsters often launder money by investing in film and television films, which can not only be unaware of ghosts, but also obtain high box office returns, which is a good thing for the underworld. And in this process, the identity of the star has become ambiguous, some have to do it because the knife is on the neck, and some are inextricably linked with the gang.
"Among the actors in Hong Kong, there are only three big names who are not afraid of the underworld, that is, Stephen Chow, Ren Dahua and Jackie Chan." Since the director talked about this, there is no taboo, and he talked eloquently to Jiang Feng, "Stephen Chow himself is an underworld, Ren Dahua's brother is a senior police officer, and as for Jackie Chan, his background is a martial artist on the set, and the underworld can't take advantage of it." In the past, an actress was intimidated by the underworld in Macau, and Jackie Chan released his words, saying that he would spend 100 million yuan to settle the Macau underworld, but Macau was so frightened that he restrained a lot and didn't dare to mention it anymore. ”
"The director is also controlled?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Absolutely." The director replied very affirmatively, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have considered taking refuge with Mr. Jiang." ”
Oh, so you came to me to avoid trouble! Jiang Fengxin said that your idea is very good, do you think I am like the material of the black pot?
But looking back, the director's strength is very strong, if there is a suitable theme, it is not a big problem to win the Oscar, not to mention some domestic New Year-themed movies, he is completely competent, but I don't know who he offended, and he will take refuge in the mainland.
"Who have you offended? I need to see if I can handle it. Jiang Feng asked.
The director was a little embarrassed, so he said a few names in Jiang Feng's ear, scratched his head, and just looked at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng is the most suitable boss he has found to take refuge in himself, if he doesn't accept himself, he probably has to find a boss on the mainland who can take responsibility, have the ability and courage, this is really not easy.
However, Jiang Feng felt a little surprised when he heard the name he reported, and looked at him very secretly, before saying, "Okay!" You're really good! To do such a thing, you haven't been divided into corpses, I have to admire your luck! ”
The director said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have any interest in actresses, but I'm a little obsessed with women from good families, isn't this also uncontrollable, and the other party is not really guarding like jade. ”
"Alright, alright, no need to explain!" Jiang Feng said with a smile, "Okay, sign a five-year contract with me, and I'll help you carry these things." ”
Jiang Feng has never been a harsh person, he doesn't think that he can save much money by deducting employees from his salary, so the director is very satisfied with the contract he signed, and for five years, he only needs to complete three films per year, which is not very difficult for him.
The biggest gain is that he no longer has to worry about being dumped by Hong Kong, Jiang Feng gave him maximum directing power, so that he can let go of the films he wants to make, of course, this is in addition to the three films a year.
The three films a year are the tasks that Jiang Feng personally assigned to him, and they must be shot in strict accordance with Jiang Feng's requirements. The director's power is to make adjustments and embellishments locally, without unilaterally drastically changing the main structure.
"Mr. Jiang, do you have any obsession with this female star?" The director finished talking about his own affairs, and he was in a very comfortable mood, so he said to Jiang Feng with a smile.
Obsession? Jiang Feng immediately understood what the director meant, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't like to take the bus." ”
"Good! This is good! Safety first! The director praised with a thumbs up.
The filming was relatively tense, and there were few gaps, Jiang Feng took a look at Ye Lanqiu and Liu Yifei's performance in the film, and felt very satisfied, so he left.
Jiang Feng did not return to Jiangzhou, but took a private jet to the capital. He planned to visit several of his women in the capital, of course, mainly Su Chang and Rong Qingyao. There are less than three months left before the college entrance examination, Su Chang is preparing for the college entrance examination with all his might, and Jiang Feng plans to go to comfort the little girl. And Rong Qingyao is his legitimate girlfriend after all, and he can't go without visiting for too long. (To be continued)
