1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 23 Smoking on command, daily life of the crew.

After filming all the scenes in the bathhouse, it was already early in the morning.

Director Jiang Wen gathered all the actors present and asked the assistant director to give each actor two boxes of matches and three packs of cigarettes.

Before everyone could understand what was going on, Jiang Wen said angrily: "If you have nothing to do in the past few days, just give me all these cigarettes. If you don't care enough, I will take care of you."

Jiang Wen's words made the boys present very excited, because they were all teenagers, and they usually smoked in hiding from adults, but now they could smoke openly "on orders", which was not very satisfying.

Interestingly, because of playing the role of Yu Beibei, Taohong was also given two boxes of matches and three packs of cigarettes.

It's quiet at night.

Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong took the crew's jeep back to the hotel where the crew of "Sunny Days" stayed.

In order to cultivate the relationship between the actors, Jiang Wen arranged for Jiang Xiaofeng, Tao Hong, Xia Yu and other leading actors to live on the same floor.

There is an old saying that goes, those who are near the water first get the moon. In order to make it easier for him to develop a relationship with the heroine Ning Jing, Jiang Wen arranged Ning Jing to be in the room next to him.

The problem now is that Liu Xiaoqing is also in the room next to his, which puts Jiang Wen, who is planning to have two jobs, in a bit of a dilemma. Fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing often travels on business, which creates a lot of time and space for him.

When he arrived at the hotel room, Jiang Xiaofeng felt not tired at all and was in high spirits. He quietly came to the door of Taohong's room and knocked on her door.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Taohong opened the door and saw that the person coming was Jiang Xiaofeng. In order to prevent others from finding out what was wrong, she asked Jiang Xiaofeng to come in quickly.

After the door closed, Taohong asked doubtfully: "Why don't you go to bed so late? Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired. I feel very energetic when I think of you!" Jiang Xiaofeng said and hugged Taohong.

"There's something wrong with you. If you're sleeping or not, I have something to think about. It's not like I can't see it..." Although Taohong said this, she was still happy in her heart, like a docile kitten, nestled against Jiang Xiaofeng's health.

Big chest.

Jiang Xiaofeng lowered his head, looked at Taohong who was blushing in his arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair, rubbed his hands back and forth on her back, and said affectionately: "I don't know why, either.

I just want to hug you and kiss you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Taohong felt indescribably sweet and shy, with a smile on her face. She stopped talking and stretched out her arms to hug Jiang Xiaofeng.

After holding each other tenderly for a while, the two young men and women couldn't help but kiss each other...

I don't know how long it took, but the two of them stopped to take a breath and rest.

Taohong suddenly asked Jiang Xiaofeng: "Do you know how to smoke?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Taohong shook her head: "No, I have never smoked. Please teach me how to smoke."

Jiang Xiaofeng said disapprovingly: "There is no need to teach you about smoking. You can smoke whenever you have cigarettes. Where do you smoke?"

"I'll get it from the table," Taohong said, then handed the cigarettes and matchbox given to her by the assistant director in front of Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't hesitate. He first held a cigarette between his middle finger and index finger and held the cigarette in his mouth. Then he held the matchbox in his left hand and the match in his right hand. Then he made a light stroke and with a "squeak" sound, the match was immediately removed.

ignite.

After smelling the aroma of the burning match for half a second, Jiang Xiaofeng immediately lit the cigarette in his hand with the lit match, then took a skillful breath and exhaled.

After watching Jiang Xiaofeng's demonstration, Taohong also imitated Jiang Xiaofeng's actions and smoked her first cigarette. Perhaps because she took too big a puff, she choked on the cigarette and coughed, tears streaming down her face...

"Be careful, don't take such a big puff, just take a small puff and then spit it out. The way you smoked just now is almost like a regular smoker..." Jiang Xiaofeng said while wiping her tears.

Under Jiang Xiaofeng's words and deeds, Taohong quickly mastered the skill of "smoking".

The reason why Tao Hong learned to smoke was not because she thought smoking was cool and unique, but because the role required it, because she played Yu Beibei in the movie "Sunny Days", a shrewd and rebellious "little fairy"

, smoking and drinking well.

Jiang Xiaofeng smokes not because he is addicted to cigarettes, but also because of the needs of the character in the film. He plays Liu Yiku, the second male lead, but the leader of this gang of gangsters, smoking is his basic operation.

The way Jiang Xiaofeng smokes is indeed unrestrained and stylish. Sometimes when Taohong sees Jiang Xiaofeng practicing smoking in her room, she will take the cigarette in his hand and take a puff herself, which is considered a gesture.

practise.

September 1st marks the 35th anniversary of CCTV.

Teacher Zhao Lirong, along with Guo Da and Cai Ming, acted in a sketch called "Star Chasers" on CCTV.

Cai Ming posted a poster on his bedside with the faces of four men printed on it. This year, the "Four Heavenly Kings" became popular in the mainland, and the hearts of countless girls were throbbing.

Far away in Hong Kong, "god of song" Jacky Cheung sold 4 million copies of "Kiss Goodbye", breaking the Chinese music album sales record in one fell swoop.

The huge sales of the album "Kiss Goodbye" seems to have pushed Hong Kong pop music to its peak, but in fact it is a ballad close to the afterglow, paving the way for its future decline: there are only three new songs in "Kiss Goodbye", and the remaining seven are all in Cantonese.

It is a cover of an old work, but the originality is insufficient and the fatigue is evident.

Since the 1990s, in order to satisfy the market, the Hong Kong music scene has rewritten lyrics with European and American and RB melodies. In order to please the mainland and Taiwan, they have also rewritten them into Mandarin songs.

Over time, more and more shoddy products were produced, and with the opening up of the mainland, countless music-loving people as far away as the capital began to enrich the music of the mainland.

September 2, morning.

On the set of "Sunny Day".

Taohong wore an orange sleeveless top, paired with a white pleated skirt, and her hair was tied in double ponytails. She looked very girly, youthful, lively and agile.

Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when he saw Tao Hong dressed up in such a ladylike and innocent manner on the set. He walked up to her and couldn't help but praise: "You look so good today!"

Listening to her boyfriend's praise of herself, Taohong felt happy, her eyes widened when she smiled, both sweet and shy.

However, because it was a public place and they had to film, Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong didn't have much communication. They each took the script and recited their lines.

The first scene today is about Ma Xiaojun, played by Xia Yu, and Yu Beibei, played by Tao Hong, smoking together.

Jiang Wen originally wanted Tao Hong and Xia Yu to smoke a cigarette together, but Tao Hong refused because Xia Yu was only 16 years old and Tao Hong always treated him as a younger brother. They also behaved like buddies on the set.

Moreover, Taohong's heart has long been filled by Jiang Xiaofeng. As Jiang Xiaofeng's girlfriend, she doesn't want Jiang Xiaofeng to be jealous.

In Taohong's opinion, the act of smoking a cigarette with a boy was too intimate, but in order to show the emotional atmosphere Jiang Wen wanted, she suggested to Jiang Wen: "Director, I put my arms around Xia Yu

It’s actually quite good to smoke on your neck.”

If Jiang Xiaofeng was not present, if she did not meet Jiang Xiaofeng, maybe Taohong would challenge herself and smoke a cigarette with Xia Yu.

But because of Jiang Xiaofeng's existence, Taohong had concerns and refused to smoke a cigarette with Xia Yu no matter what.

Seeing that Taohong had made up her mind, Jiang Wen couldn't say anything more, so she asked Xia Yu and Taohong to sit together, each smoking a cigarette.

So after this scene was filmed, it looked a bit stiff, and the action of Tao Hong hugging Xia Yu and stretching her neck to smoke the cigarette in her hand also felt very awkward and unnatural.

There was also a scene that required Taohong to take the initiative to kiss Xia Yu, but Taohong refused to kiss her and it was useless no matter what she said. Jiang Wen thought that she had never been in love, her first kiss was still there, and she was not a professionally trained professional actor.

Can't let go.

In this regard, Jiang Wen expressed his understanding and chose to compromise. Finally, he borrowed his seat to complete the filming of the scene.

Another time, the entire crew was on standby waiting for the sun's rays to arrive. The playful Xia Yu thought "standby" meant "no more filming" and went off to play alone with his skateboard.

As a result, the whole crew couldn't find him, which wasted a whole day of filming.

Afterwards, Xia Yu anxiously went into Jiang Wen's room to apologize. Jiang Wen only glanced at him and didn't get angry. He just said, "Go back." The matter ended just like that.

ps. Thank you to Ni Ni Xiaoniao and Beiyu Demon King for their rewards and encouragement. Thank you. I also want to thank everyone who comes in every day to read this book. Thank you all.
