Chapter 180 Jiang Wen’s Muse?
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 Cheng Hao, who was born in the Chinese Opera Department, not understand this joke? However, he did not expose it directly. Instead, he laughed and joked about Zhou Yi's mafia identity: "Besides, there is an old saying in China that if you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well. prison.
"Is your godfather a little too young? Where's 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 Cheng Hao. Zhou Yi said indifferently: "It's 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. Just in case." Some new investment transactions are 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."
Cheng Hao, who had no polite words, took the key, tilted his head slightly and glanced at the Mercedes Benz behind the man, then 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 doesn't suit your identity very well."
"I don't have the money to change my car. If I can afford a Mazda, it's good."
Regarding Zhou Yi's unworldly behavior, Cheng Haoer 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's coming over. It seems...Jiang Wen?"
Ginger pattern?
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 Young people like you don’t watch movies 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 Cheng Hao, Jiang Wen was quite straightforward. He was really not bragging. The previous scene of Zhou Yi speaking freely and freely about the Godfather's famous quotes really aroused the inspiration in his mind.
For a moment, he even had a corresponding broken picture in his mind.
"Acting? Me?"
When Cheng Haodu's pupils slightly dilated 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 terrible at acting. Even if he is a guest star, he will probably be killed by Jiang Wen who strives for excellence.
Besides, Jiang Wen is currently banned from directing - oh, no, Taro Rikawa's "Looking for the Gun" seems to be tossing Jiang Wen to death?
"Then I've seen too much. Your songs are 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. He said: "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.
Is this because he encountered some difficulties and wanted to use his fame?
However, 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 wouldn't have been forced to gnash his teeth at Jiang Wen's domineering attitude 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 had a few years of banning, didn't panic at all.
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 unexpectedly 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, Cheng 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 phone call gesture, Jiang Wen said goodbye to the two and walked towards the teaching building.
"Are you familiar with Jiang Wen?"
After getting in the car, Cheng Hao, who had skillfully fastened his seat belt, looked at Jiang Wen who was going away, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yi who was starting the car: "He actually came to you to act?"
Zhou Yi turned the steering wheel nonchalantly: "Who can be sure what is going on with this genius who relies on inspiration for a living? If he wants to fleece me, then I don't mind fleecing him back."
"Fraudulently fleece me?"
"Ask him to act in the MV."
Zhou Yi honked the horn with confidence 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 also pays tribute to "The Godfather" to some extent.
It's just that the character background of Jay Chou's MV that year is very inconsistent for those who really understand the family model of the Italian Mafia.
If Jiang Wen, who likes and has studied the movie "The Godfather" carefully, is brought in to handle the MV and plot of this song, the flavor is definitely pure old Italian mafia.
Cheng Hao couldn't help laughing, laughing so hard that he fell backwards: "Don't you have any misunderstandings about Jiang Wen? He is a well-known director and actor in China. Isn't it a bit unrealistic to invite him to shoot a MV?"
"Although I think so, isn't it a bit unrealistic for him, a banned director, to ask me to shoot a movie?"
"...It seems so."
"That's it. It's all pie in the sky. He draws it for me, and I can also pull it back to make money for him. Is there a problem? No problem."
Speaking, Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing.
Although Jiang Wen has not yet produced "The Sun Also Rises", and his artistic content and status have not been raised to the top level of the entertainment industry, his talent among young directors is obvious to all.
It is indeed a bit of a pipe dream for such a person to shoot or even act in MVs.
From movies to MVs, it is not something that can be explained by the downgrade of resources. Jiang Wen would not fall to this point even if he was banned from directing again.
Unless he really has a good relationship with Jiang Wen.
However, Zhou Yi felt that he should not have this opportunity.
Jiang Wen is still an artistic youth at heart, and an artistic youth with many bad habits;
He is a lazy young man.
Except for the same views on certain people and certain things, other things are not the same.
In fact, Jiang Wen's ideas are not much different.
After meeting his teacher Zhang Renli, whom he had not seen for a long time, this artistic youth with a distinctive personality was first severely scolded by the teacher, and then sat down to chat.
When his teacher heard that Jiang Wen actually got inspiration from Zhou Yi, he was stunned.
"Teacher, you may not know that Zhou Yi's temperament gives me a strange feeling. When I first met him at the award ceremony, he gave me a good feeling, polite and high-spirited.
"But from the way he sued a lot of reporters to hype it up, I thought he was too mercenary.
"But when he held a press conference and directly attacked Zhou Runfa, I was quite curious about what he was thinking. A very mercenary person would not do this.
"He really doesn't seem to be afraid of the consequences of his actions, or he feels that he doesn't need to bear this humiliation. He doesn't seem to think that the mainland entertainment industry is oppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan, so I will also be oppressed.
"He doesn't, he is like a gangster and unreasonably overturns the current unspoken rules of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry..."
ps: I raised three more points, and it took a day to revise the plan. I sent it.
Now I just found out that they passed it after the meeting. I finished coding this chapter and shared a car with my colleagues to go home. I don't have time to write the second chapter.
ps2: Three updates tomorrow, and three updates the day after tomorrow.
