Chapter 149 "Xiao Wu" became popular overseas, in-depth exchanges with Chen Hao

On July 31, 1998, the pure and lustful "Koi" Yang Chaoyue was born to a peasant family in a village in Dafeng, Yancheng, Jiangsu.

August 2, morning.

Xu Huaiyu, a female singer owned by Century Records, has released her third album "Meet".

The first album released, sales exceeded 300,000 copies across Asia, continuing the popularity of the previous two albums.

The two songs "Meet" and "Look at My 72 Changes" also began to appear on major music charts due to the huge sales of the album "Meet".

Century Records also took advantage of the situation and organized an Asian tour concert for Xu Huaiyu.

Since it is an Asian tour concert, Xu Huaiyu will hold it in not only mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, but also Malaysia, Singapore, and other Asian countries. There will be a total of 15 concerts.

Although the box office appeal of Xu Huaiyu's concerts is far less than that of "King of Songs" Jiang Xiaofeng and "God of Songs" Zhang Xueyou, and not as good as Queen of Songs "Wang Fei", she is still ranked in the top 5 among female singers of the same generation.

Because he was filming the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" in western Hunan, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't leave for a while, so he could only support Xu Huaiyu mentally.

When he learned that Xu Huaiyu was about to hold an Asian tour concert, Jiang Xiaofeng was still on the phone, praising Xu Huaiyu: "Huaiyu, although the master is not with you, the master is also very pleased to see that you can stand alone and start an Asian tour.

"I know you can do it if you're pregnant. Sing well, work hard, and try to launch a world tour as soon as possible..."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Xu Huaiyu, who was still a little emotional, was also very happy and looking forward to it. He smiled and nodded: "I know master, I will work hard and I will not let you down."

Before Jiang Xiaofeng could answer, Xu Huaiyu suddenly changed the subject: "But master, can you promise me something?"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Xu Huaiyu said with a smile: "If I hold a world tour concert, can you be my concert guest?"

Without even thinking about it, Jiang Xiaofeng said: "Huaiyu, as long as you have the ability to hold a world tour, then no matter what happens, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to be a guest at at least one concert for you."

Xu Huaiyu smiled and joked: "That's easy to say. You are not allowed to cheat. You are the master and my role model. You cannot lie to your apprentices."

Jiang Xiaofeng said angrily and funny: "I'm telling you what you said, when did my teacher ever lie to you?"

…

As for Tan Jing, another contracted singer of Century Records, although she is not yet able to hold concerts like Xu Huaiyu, she has also made a splash in the music world with the two songs "Invisible Wings" and "Green Light" in the new album.

.

In order to enhance Tan Jing's reputation and class, Century Records often promoted her to appear on CCTV.

The development of Xu Huaiyu and Tan Jing was in line with Jiang Xiaofeng's expectations, and was not too unexpected or disappointing.

On the contrary, it was the movie "Xiao Wu" invested by Jiang Xiaofeng that was able to make money overseas, which really exceeded Jiang Xiaofeng's expectations.

You know, before this, Jiang Xiaofeng invested 200,000 yuan to support Jia Zhangke's director of the movie "Xiao Wu". It was not for the purpose of making money at all. It was really just for charity, making friends, and more broadly speaking, it was for China.

Contribute to the film.

As a result, director Jia Zhangke not only became famous in the international film industry with "Xiao Wu", but also became a representative figure among young directors who came from behind. However, in China, "Xiao Wu" was banned for various reasons.

Jiang Xiaofeng originally thought that directors like Jia Zhangke who make literary films would definitely not make money, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

In fact, the movie "Xiao Wu" directed by Jia Zhangke not only has a good reputation, but is also an art film that sells well.

"Xiao Wu", a small-budget film, became popular at the Berlin Film Festival and was distributed to many countries.

Jia Zhangke has also earned millions of yuan in recent months with the movie "Xiao Wu".

When Jia Zhangke called to tell Jiang Xiaofeng the good news, Jiang Xiaofeng was still a little confused. After understanding the situation, he realized that he had invested 200,000 yuan in the movie and actually made a small profit. It was an unexpected surprise.

…

After receiving a series of good news, Jiang Xiaofeng was quite happy in Xiangxi. At least he didn't have to worry so much and could film with peace of mind.

At this time, Jiang Xiaofeng was still in Dayuan Ancient Miao Village, accompanying the movie "That Mountain That Man That Dog".

However, every night, when he had some free time, Jiang Xiaofeng would be inexplicably a little troubled and anxious, and Chen Hao's face and smile would be in his mind.

Jiang Xiaofeng is not sure whether he likes Chen Hao or is greedy for her body because he is empty and lonely.

As the saying goes, when you look at the scenery on the bridge, the people watching the scenery will also look at you upstairs.

It was obvious that Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking about Chen Hao, and Chen Hao was also thinking about Jiang Xiaofeng, especially when Chen Hao looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes, which were so gentle and watery, even a little hot.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't dare to look any longer, for fear that if he looked for a while longer, he would become boiling...

In order not to affect the filming of the film, Jiang Xiaofeng also worked hard to adjust his status and devoted all his energy and time to the film "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog".

Although Jiang Xiaofeng has never studied acting, he has been practicing martial arts and performing in Shaolin since he was a child. After coming down from the mountain, he successively filmed movies by Jiang Wen and Wang Jing, and also filmed many song MVs. Jiang Xiaofeng's acting skills are definitely no problem.

Moreover, with the guidance and communication from director Huo Jianqi and veteran actors such as Teng Rujun, Jiang Xiaofeng's acting skills have also achieved a qualitative leap.

It is worth mentioning that in the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Teng Rujun, who plays the father, was a student who graduated from the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama, and now serves as the director of the General Affairs Department of the Central Academy of Drama. He has almost never played a leading role.

, all of them played supporting roles.

For example, Teng Rujun acted superbly as Arhat in the movie "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou and is a seasoned actor.

During the casting process, whether it was the director, screenwriter, or photographer, they all felt that Teng Rujun's image was very suitable for playing the role of the father. He has a screen temperament that is very approachable even though he "disappears from everyone".

While filming a long shot, Teng Rujun accidentally fell into a small cliff on the roadside. Jiang Xiaofeng, who played the son in the movie, hurriedly asked: "Is Teacher Teng okay?"

The first thing Teng Rujun answered was whether his face was injured. He was not afraid of disfigurement, but he was really worried that an injury to his face would affect the filming progress.

When filming the scene where Jiang Xiaofeng and the dog were playing in the water, the dog seemed manic and restless, flopping around in the water as if it was about to bite.

Despite the protection of the staff, the dog still scratched Jiang Xiaofeng's arm in the end. Jiang Xiaofeng could only curse and go to the town health center to get a rabies vaccine.

However, in the process of filming the movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", Jiang Xiaofeng still gained more than the hard work.

Chen Hao also performed very well. In this movie, her role was that of a rural girl. Her performance was natural and simple, and she won unanimous praise from everyone.

In their spare time, Jiang Xiaofeng and Chen Hao also communicated a lot in private.

As the relationship became more familiar, Chen Hao's trust in Jiang Xiaofeng became deeper and deeper.

Chen Hao told Jiang Xiaofeng a lot of his inner thoughts, not only about career, life and study, but also about love...

Jiang Xiaofeng gave Chen Hao a lot of suggestions as someone who had been there.

For example, Chen Hao wanted to have a perfect and long-lasting relationship. Jiang Xiaofeng told her that you shouldn’t care too much about the eternity of a relationship. Having one once is also a good memory...

After filming the scene in Suining, the crew of "That Mountain That Man That Dog" then went to Tongxian County, Shangbao Ancient Country and other places for filming.

There are many buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties here, with lanes and streets, mottled ancient ruins, cornices and angles, and simple vicissitudes of life. As soon as the drizzle falls, the bluestone road stretches across the ancient hometown, and the old trees and distant mountains echo with moths and fireflies. Under the wind and rain, the world is gentle and relaxed.

In this natural "photo studio", under the lens controlled by Huo Jianqi, the vegetation is the ink of the mountains, the clouds and mist are the veil of the small bridge, and the rice fields are the places where the sun rests.
