1993 My China Entertainment Age

May 3st, morning.

Houzhai Hutong, Siheyuan.

Jiang Xiaofeng was still asleep when he was awakened by the ringing of the cell phone next to the bed.

Seeing that it was Feng Xiaogang's call, Jiang Xiaofeng froze for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Feng Xiaogang rarely see each other, they are old acquaintances. As early as 11 years ago, they worked together on the movie "Sunny Day".

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, Jiang Xiaofeng's Century Group is still relatively prominent in the field of TV dramas, and the Huayi Brothers are mainly making breakthroughs in the field of movies.

Therefore, Century Group and Huayi Brothers are not competitors in the true sense, and Jiang Xiaofeng and Feng Xiaogang are not enemies, but old friends with a fairly average relationship.

After a few words of politeness, Feng Xiaogang got straight to the point: "Director Jiang, I want to borrow someone from you! I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked with great interest: "Who do you want to borrow, just tell me, Director Feng."

Feng Xiaogang didn't talk too much, and just blurted out: "I want to borrow Wang Baoqiang from you, the little actor who filmed "Blind Well"..."

Although Wang Baoqiang still often plays tricks on the set and few people know him, in fact, he already won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer in 2003 with the movie "Blind Well".

Feng Xiaogang was also impressed by Wang Baoqiang's young Yuan Fengming in "Blind Well" by his natural acting skills and his sincere and simple eyes.

In addition, the film "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang is about to be released in late March, and the leading and male leads have already been decided. Only the role of "Shagen" has not been suitable.

Feng Xiaogang searched around in the circle and interviewed many amateurs, but he still couldn't find a suitable candidate. After looking around, he felt that Wang Baoqiang was the most suitable candidate for Shagen.

There was really no better candidate, Feng Xiaogang could only call and ask Jiang Xiaofeng for help, hoping to borrow Wang Baoqiang to the crew of "A World Without Thieves".

Jiang Xiaofeng also felt that Baoqiang needed this opportunity, so he said bluntly, "Success, Director Feng, you've already opened your mouth, can I not borrow it?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng gave such face and answered so readily, Feng Xiaogang said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I will treat you to dinner another day."

Before Jiang Xiaofeng could answer, Feng Xiaogang asked again: "How about tomorrow? Are you free tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while, and it happened that there was no arrangement at noon tomorrow, so he replied: "Success, then tomorrow."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng finished talking on the phone, Tao Hong asked curiously, "Who is it? Director Feng Xiaogang?"

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded: "Yes, he wants to find Baoqiang to act in a movie."

Tao Hong also knew about Wang Baoqiang's existence, and felt quite novel. Feng Xiaogang actually found Baoqiang specifically for filming, and asked curiously: "Why did he find Baoqiang?"

Jiang Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "Because Baoqiang is very unique, he has a kind of simplicity and authenticity that others don't have, and he can play many roles that professional actors can't play."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng had so much confidence in her junior brother Baoqiang, Taohong smiled and asked with great interest, "Why do you trust him so much?"

Jiang Xiaofeng replied with a smile: "I am his brother, how can I not understand him?"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiaofeng picked up the phone again, called Wang Baoqiang, and asked Wang Baoqiang to come over for lunch.

After receiving Jiang Xiaofeng's call, Wang Baoqiang ran over from Yanjing Film Studio without saying a word.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Baoqiang has always known about the relationship between Jiang Xiaofeng and Taohong, but because he believed in Baoqiang's character and knew that he would not gossip, Jiang Xiaofeng and Taohong did not avoid him.

Wang Baoqiang was also very grateful. Jiang Xiaofeng and his sister-in-law Taohong did not treat him as an outsider. Every time they saw Taohong, they would call "sister-in-law" one by one, and they were very happy to call Taohong.

When Wang Baoqiang learned that he was about to participate in the film "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and that he would cooperate with Andy Lau and Rene Liu, he couldn't believe it was true.

After confirming that the matter was true, Wang Baoqiang was so excited that he almost knelt down to Jiang Xiaofeng and Taohong on the spot.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also very moved when he saw Wang Baoqiang who had repaid his kindness, and He Taohong hurriedly helped him up, saying: "Baoqiang, the man has gold under his knees, so you can't do it."

"Second senior brother, sister-in-law, I know, I thank you so much, I don't know how to repay you..." Wang Baoqiang couldn't help crying when he said that.

The next day, after seeing Wang Baoqiang in person, Feng Xiaogang immediately decided to let Wang Baoqiang play the role of Shagen in the movie "A World Without Thieves".

May 3st, morning.

Feng Xiaogang's new film "A World Without Thieves", which has received much attention, officially launched in Yanjing.

Liu Ruoying, who plays the "thief woman", and Wang Baoqiang, who plays the "silly root" in the play, both participated in the first day of filming.

In other words, the scenes of extras in "A World Without Thieves" are at most fleeting, but it was the shooting of this scene that made Director Feng open his voice on the scene and angrily scolded the assistant director of the crew.

Feng Xiaogang, who had been sitting on the steps, suddenly stood up angrily after watching the shooting of the extras many times, threw away the microphone in his hand, and shouted at an assistant director in the crew: " You have been assistant directors for such a long time, don’t you even have such an aesthetic sense? Do you want me to teach you? Don’t force me to stop filming today.”

"Look at the actors you have chosen. It looks like they are in makeup. Why don't you go to the countryside to find (extra actors). How will you be a director in the future? You still make movies. The productions like this are not even as good as TV dramas."

Under Feng Xiaogang's fury, the entire filming scene became silent. The onlookers in the distance didn't know what caused the great director to be so furious, and watched quietly from a distance. This silence lasted for nearly a minute.

There were more and more snowflakes in the sky at this time, and they scattered around the temple one after another. Feng Xiaogang, who was furious, retreated to his seat and half-lyed on the chair.

Xu Fan silently walked behind Feng Xiaogang, and gently massaged his temples with both hands, which relieved Feng Xiaogang's anger, and began to shoot the next scene.

However, it may be because the few scenes after the start-up did not go well, Feng Xiaogang's anger soared again, and he yelled at the staff several times.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly appeared to visit the class that Feng Xiaogang's terrible mood was finally resolved.

Seeing a big man like Jiang Xiaofeng appear on his set, Feng Xiaogang almost jumped up on his seat, and hurried over to greet Jiang Xiaofeng.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng also admired Feng Xiaogang, and considered recruiting Feng Xiaogang to his company, but because the matter was more complicated, he never offered an olive branch to Feng Xiaogang.

"Jiang Dong, why are you here? You didn't say anything in advance so that I could go to meet you," Feng Xiaosong said with a smile on his face, and held out his hand to Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng also stretched out his hand, shook hands with Feng Xiaogang, and said with a smile, "You are welcome, Director Feng. I am here to study today. By the way, let's see how Baoqiang is doing."

Wang Baoqiang, who was on the side, saw that the second senior brother Jiang Xiaofeng cared about him so much, and felt mixed feelings in his heart. He also swore in his heart that he would not embarrass the second senior brother.

After hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Feng Xiaogang waved to Wang Baoqiang and said, "Baoqiang, come here, your boss is here to see you." (End of this chapter)
