Jiang Wen glanced back at Song Yi, who was drinking coffee.
After some thought, he frowned and looked at Chen Feng, saying, "Chen Feng, be honest with me, why do you insist on choosing the minor role of the private tutor? It's not because this role has a bed scene with the female lead, is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yi across from him let out a 'puff', spitting out the coffee in her mouth.
Jiang Wen turned to look at her.
Song Yi's face flushed red.
She quickly shook her head to indicate she was fine, then picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth and hide her embarrassment.
Chen Feng, standing nearby, also had a dark expression.
He explained with a wry smile, "Director Jiang, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I haven't even finished reading the script, and I certainly didn't see that the private tutor had... had a bed scene with the female lead."
Jiang Wen: "..."
He looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Chen Feng spread his hands openly: "Director Jiang, I just feel that the role of this private tutor is quite challenging. If it's convenient, give me a chance. If not, then forget it."
Jiang Wen: "..."
Chen Feng blinked: "Director Jiang?"
Jiang Wen took a deep breath, then slapped his thigh: "Alright, I'll give you a chance."
These words were spoken almost 'through gritted teeth'.
It truly felt like a sense of disappointment.
He gives you a chance to choose the male lead, but you don't; you choose a minor role.
Is there any Actor who doesn't want to be the male lead?
Anyway, Jiang Wen had been directing for so many years, and he truly hadn't seen one.
Chen Feng was unique.
Upon hearing Jiang Wen agree, Song Yi, who was sitting opposite, felt somewhat awkward.
She actually knew there would be a bed scene in the script.
It was well-known that Jiang Wen was very good at this.
In his black humor satirical films, one often saw suggestive but not obscene scenes, such as the segment where the fake bandits commit evil in "Let the Bullets Fly."
When the opposing Actor was unknown, female Actors didn't really pay much attention to this.
What's a bed scene?
It's not like they hadn't filmed them before.
Song Yi herself had filmed such scenes several times.
Although they were all subtle, there was still physical contact on the bed.
So, she really didn't care.
But now, she suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Because she knew who the opposing Actor for the bed scene was.
Chen Feng.
An extra who had frequently been trending on hot searches recently.
A handsome young man who successfully won the overall championship of the Yanjing competition area for the variety show “What is an Actor”.
It was said that he became whatever he acted.
Almost indistinguishable from reality.
And he had once portrayed an abusive man, even making his opponent cry on stage.
Was she really going to act out a 'flesh-on-flesh' scene with such an eccentric male Actor?
Given Jiang Wen's bold and realistic filming style, it might truly be 'flesh-on-flesh' at that time, that scene...
Song Yi's face remained red.
She even felt too awkward to glance at Chen Feng.
This is weird!
Why was she suddenly shy?
Song Yi felt like a little rabbit was wildly thumping in her heart.
...
As soon as Chen Feng saw Jiang Wen agree, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Director Jiang, when will filming begin?"
"Around the end of the year. I'll inform you once the specific date is set."
"Got it."
Chen Feng nodded: "Director Jiang, I'll be leaving now?"
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Wen directly pulled out the agreement from the folder and handed it to him: "If you have no problem, sign the agreement first. Don't stand me up then."
"Heh heh, I won't."
Chen Feng didn't hesitate, took the pen, and swiftly signed his name.
As soon as he finished signing his name, a notification sound rang in his mind.
"Ding, the host's upcoming target role 'Music Master' has been detected. Congratulations to the host for becoming a true Music Master."
"Congratulations to the host for mastering all musical instruments, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Including but not limited to ancient traditional instruments passed down for thousands of years in China."
Chen Feng immediately felt a surge of comfort throughout his body.
The sensation in his hands had changed.
A sense of musicality originating from his very bones and a familiarity with instruments spontaneously arose.
Whew!
Chen Feng let out a long breath.
Seeing that he had finished signing the agreement, Jiang Wen waved his hand: "Alright, if you have something to do, go ahead and take care of it. I'll call you before filming starts at the end of the year."
"Got it, I'll be leaving now."
Chen Feng stood up and waved to Jiang Wen: "Bye, Director Jiang."
"Mhm, bye."
Chen Feng glanced at Song Yi again and suddenly smiled, "Sister Song Yi, bye-bye. I look forward to working with you."
"Okay, goodbye."
Song Yi didn't expect Chen Feng to suddenly bid her farewell, so she quickly looked up at him, trying her best to show a calm smile.
But unfortunately, her cheeks were still red.
Chen Feng, however, didn't mind and turned to leave directly.
Just as he reached the doorway, Jiang Wen suddenly asked loudly, "Oh, by the way, Chen Feng, do you play any musical instruments?"
Chen Feng stopped.
Then he turned back and smiled brightly at Jiang Wen: "Director Jiang, I know a little."
Jiang Wen casually asked, "Which instrument do you play?"
Chen Feng smiled: "Director Jiang, to be honest, I know a little about all musical instruments, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Including the ancient instruments passed down for thousands of years in China. Don't worry, Director Jiang. When filming, there's no need for a body double."
After speaking, he waved his hand and directly pushed the door open and left.
Jiang Wen: "..."
He felt incredulous.
He knows all instruments?
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, even ancient instruments passed down for thousands of years?
Is it real or fake?
Song Yi was also startled.
He knows all instruments, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign?
Isn't that too exaggerated?
Watching Chen Feng's retreating back, Song Yi fell into contemplation.
She didn't feel it when they hadn't met.
But after meeting him, why did Chen Feng feel like a mysterious attraction?
After a moment of silence, Song Yi suddenly looked at Jiang Wen and asked softly, "Director Jiang, how old is he this year?"
"26."
"Oh, so young."
Song Yi felt emotional.
He's younger than her.
Filming a bed scene?
A bit awkward.
"Song Yi, don't feel any psychological burden. Age is the least of the conditions an Actor needs to worry about. And you don't have many scenes with him."
Jiang Wen saw the awkwardness on Song Yi's face and casually reassured her.
Song Yi's face flushed.
She blinked and hesitantly said, "Director Jiang... that bed scene..."
"You don't need to worry about the bed scene."
Jiang Wen casually explained, "My habit is to pursue authenticity. I will find a way to get you two into character then. Don't worry about his young age."
Song Yi: "..."
Oh my god!
I'm worried about myself, okay?
Can I get into character?
Song Yi was depressed.
She hadn't thought much of it before because she hadn't dealt with it.
But now, the more she thought about it, the more awkward it felt.
That Chen Feng acts like whatever he portrays; if he were to act a bed scene with her, would it... be very real?
Moreover, Jiang Wen's filming techniques were actually quite daunting.
When he was younger, Jiang Wen found movies boring, always feeling they were too fake.
He liked real things.
So, after becoming a Director, Jiang Wen's films were very down-to-earth.
His expressive techniques were very realistic.
Including bed scenes and passionate scenes.
For a moment, Song Yi fell silent again.
Jiang Wen, however, ignored her sudden nervousness and instead suddenly stood up, picked up his phone, and dialed Teacher Huang's number.
He wanted to inquire about the situation.
For some reason, Jiang Wen had been very concerned about the few things Chen Feng said to Teacher Huang when he told his fortune.
He really wanted to verify them.
After experiencing such a murder case in the school, was Teacher Huang really, as Chen Feng said, just needing to be careful?
Wealth and poverty are only a stone's throw away.
Just a financial loss to avert disaster?
Is that right?
Soon, the call connected.
Jiang Wen chatted with Teacher Huang for a few minutes.
After about ten minutes.
Jiang Wen hung up the phone, looking astonished.
This is weird!
He received unexpected news from Teacher Huang.
According to a police officer named Niu Dali, the person who helped Teacher Huang out of his predicament was actually Chen Feng.
It was he who recognized the murderer at a glance, which allowed the case to be smoothly classified as a murder.
Because it was a premeditated crime, Teacher Huang did not have to bear joint liability, but as the victim's teacher, he still compensated a certain amount of money.
He averted disaster by losing money.
Knowing these truths, Jiang Wen was utterly confused.
What kind of person exactly is Chen Feng?
