China Entertainment 2000

Chapter 180 Jiang Wen’s muse...the male god?

"I just had something wrong with my car. It shouldn't be enough to alert the mafia bosses, right?"

How could Chen Hao, who was born in the Department of Chinese Theater Arts, not understand this joke? However, he did not expose it directly. Instead, he laughed and joked about Zhou Yi's mafia identity: "Moreover, there is an old saying in China that a hairless mouth means a weak person. .

"Is your godfather a little too young? Where is your beard?"

"Then you may not know that there is another old saying in China, which is that heroes emerge from youth."

He casually took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Chen Hao. Zhou Yi said indifferently: "The key to my car. Just drive it before the car is repaired, so that you don't have to take a taxi when you go out. In case you need to get some For new investment transactions, it is also convenient to go out.”

"It's quite considerate, but it probably won't take that long for the Mazda 4S shop to repair it."

Chen Hao, who had no polite words, took the key, tilted his head slightly and glanced at the Mercedes Benz behind the man, and raised his hand to smooth away some strands of bangs that were blown by the wind in front of his forehead.

"Who knows, but it's time for you to change your car next. Mazda is not very suitable for your identity."

"I don't have the money to change my car. It would be nice if I could afford a Mazda."

Regarding Zhou Yi's unworldly behavior, Chen Hao smiled and was about to get in the car, but unexpectedly saw someone looking at him, and couldn't help but stop in front of the passenger door.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yi, who opened the car door, looked up at her doubtfully.

"Someone seems to have been looking behind us just now, and now he is coming over. It seems to be...Jiang Wen?"

Jiang Wen?

Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he heard this name at first, but then he thought about it and thought that this person seemed to be from the Chinese Opera, so it was normal for him to hang out on the Chinese Opera campus.

"The tone you used when you said that was very interesting, a bit like Al Pacino."

Jiang Wen was still the same Jiang Wen. Under his seemingly rough appearance, he was extremely thoughtful. He smiled and extended his hand to Zhou Yi: "I didn't expect that the famous Zhou Yi would actually watch "The Godfather". I thought this old movie was like Young people like you don’t watch anymore.”

“Classics never go out of style.”

Although he didn't know what Jiang Wen meant by greeting him, Zhou Yi still maintained his usual external demeanor and shook hands with him politely.

This is their second meeting.

The last time I saw him was at the awards ceremony where he was ranked number one on the global Chinese music charts. At that time, Jiang Wen was also the guest of honor at the party, so he didn't have to introduce himself.

"I'm imagining a story, and I just saw that your personal temperament, tone, and accent match the image in my mind. I wonder if you would be interested in playing with it?"

Glancing at Chen Hao, Jiang Wen was quite straightforward. He was really not bragging. The previous scene of Zhou Yi speaking freely and freely about the famous sayings of the Godfather really aroused the inspiration in his mind.

For a moment, he even had a corresponding broken picture in his mind.

"Acting? Me?"

When Chen Haodu's pupils dilated slightly due to shock, Zhou Yi smiled and asked, "You should probably review my MV, Director Jiang."

Jiang Wen is notoriously difficult to act in movies. He is a lousy actor, and even if he is a cameo, he will probably be killed by Jiang Wen, who strives for excellence.

Besides, Jiang Wen is currently banned from directing - oh, no, it seems that Jiang Wen is tossing Taro Rikawa's "Searching Gun" to death?

"Then I've seen too much. Your songs are popular all over the streets and alleys. Even if I don't actively watch them, I watch them passively every day." Jiang Wen also grinned happily, which was not a compliment. One sentence: "The main thing is temperament. You know temperament. You have a relatively unique temperament. This is the key to attracting many people even if your acting skills in the MV are mediocre."

"..."

Am I really a genius?

Seeing Jiang Wen, whom he had never met a few times before, talking nonsense here, Zhou Yi almost believed him.

Isn't it because he encountered some difficulties and wanted to use his fame?

But, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Although Jiang Wen had just been banned from directing at this stage, he had already risen through the ranks as a director. His status in the industry was rising, and he was not short of money.

Otherwise, Taro Rukawa would not have been forced to gnash his teeth at Jiang Wen's domineering behavior in the crew in private, but he would still be very angry on the surface.

The entire crew and script almost had the surname Jiang, and he didn't even dare to say anything openly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Jiang, but I am still very self-aware."

Zhou Yi, who suddenly had an idea in his mind, didn't finish his words. He also showed a bright smile on his lips: "If you don't believe it, you can come over and watch my live MV shooting process when you have time. This will dispel this terrible idea of ​​yours."

"Easy to say."

Anyway, Jiang Wen, who still has a few years of ban on guiding, is not at all panicked.

He originally planned to take advantage of the past few years to get into acting and settle down to conceive the script in his mind. As a result, he accidentally saw Zhou Yi imitating his godfather in speaking on the campus of China National Theater today, which inspired him some inspiration.

"Then Director Jiang, let's leave first."

After the two of them finished chatting, Chen Hao came forward at the right time and told his own affairs: "I still have to go to Renyi now."

"My, my, you guys are busy first. Then Zhou Yi, we will contact you later."

After making a gesture of chatting on the phone, Jiang Wen said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards the teaching building.

"Are you familiar with Jiang Wen?"

After getting in the car, Chen Hao, who expertly fastened his seat belt, looked at Jiang Wen who was walking away, and then looked sideways at Zhou Yi who started the car: "He actually came to you to act?"

Zhou Yi turned the steering wheel nonchalantly: "How can such a genius who relies on inspiration know what's going on? If he wants to take advantage of me, then I don't mind taking advantage of him."

"A handful?"

"Pick him to act in the MV."

Zhou Yi pressed the horn confidently and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

As we all know, the background of the song "In the Name of the Father" is the Italian Mafia, and it is more or less a tribute to "The Godfather".

It's just that the character background of Jay Chou's MV was very inconsistent for those who truly understand the Italian Mafia family model.

If Jiang Wen, who likes and has carefully studied the movie "The Godfather", is brought over to handle the music video and plot design of this song, it will definitely taste like a pure old Italian mafia.

Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh, laughing hard: "Don't you have any misunderstandings about Jiang Wen? He is a well-known director and actor in China. Isn't it a bit fantasy to invite him to shoot a MV?"

"Although I think so too, is it a bit impossible for a banned director to invite me to film a movie?"

"...It seems so."

"That's it. It's all about painting cakes. He paints for me, and I can also pull the wool over for him. Is there a problem? No problem."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi himself couldn't help laughing.

Although Jiang Wen has not produced "The Sun Also Rises" yet, and his artistic quality and status have not yet been raised to the top of the entertainment industry, his talent is already obvious to all among young directors.

It is indeed a bit of a fantasy for such people to shoot MVs or even act in MVs.

From movies to MVs, this cannot be explained by the downgrade of resources. Jiang Wen would not have fallen to this point even if he was banned from directing.

Unless he really has a good relationship with Jiang Wen to a certain extent.

However, Zhou Yi felt that he should not have this opportunity.

Jiang Wen is still an artistic young man at heart, and he is still an artistic young man with many bad habits;

He is a lazy young man.

Except for the same views on certain people and certain things, other things cannot be pissed into the same pot.

In fact, Jiang Wen's idea is not too bad.

After meeting his teacher Zhang Renli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, this artistic young man with a distinctive personality was first scolded by the teacher, and then he started to sit down and chat.

When his teacher heard that Jiang Wen had obtained inspiration from Zhou Yi, he was stunned.

"Teacher, you may not know that Zhou Yi's temperament feels very strange to me. When I first met him at the award ceremony, he gave me a good feeling, polite and high-spirited.

“But judging from the way he sued a lot of reporters to create hype, I thought he was too philistine.

"But when he held a press conference and hit Chow Yun-fat head-on, I was quite curious about what was going through his mind. A very philistine person would not do that.

"He doesn't really seem to be afraid of the consequences of doing this, or he doesn't think he needs to suffer this. He doesn't seem to think that the mainland entertainment industry is being squeezed by Hong Kong and Taiwan, so I will be squeezed too.

"No, he's just like a gangster who unreasonably overturned the current unspoken rules of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan..."

ps: I mentioned three more points, changed the plan and took a day to send it.

I just found out that they passed the meeting after the meeting. I finished coding this chapter and shared a car with my colleagues to go home. It was too late to write the second chapter.

ps2: There will be three updates tomorrow and three updates the day after tomorrow.
