Chapter 99: The Person with the Most NGs

"Is it really not possible?" Jiang Qinqin asked.

"Unless Joey Wong herself changes her mind again..."

"Then, does she have any cats or dogs that need to be air-freighted over?"

"Uh, Joey Wong didn't mention this requirement. It is highly likely that she won't bring them with her."

Wu Yuchen knew that Jiang Qinqin said this because she still had fantasies. This involved the role-changing storm of *Farewell My Concubine*.

When shooting *Farewell My Concubine*, the original author and producer Hsu Feng initially invited Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung readily agreed, but the director Chen Kaige's first choice was John Lone.

At that time, John Lone had a very high international reputation by virtue of *The Last Emperor*. Kaige wanted to use John Lone's fame to impact more awards and even the Oscars internationally. Moreover, Kaige had an intersection with John Lone during *The Last Emperor*, where he guest-starred as the captain of the palace gate guards.

After the script was sent to John Lone, he was also particularly fond of it because his own experience was very similar to Cheng Dieyi, and he also had a good foundation in Peking Opera. After Leslie Cheung learned about it, he voluntarily resigned and gave the opportunity to John Lone.

However, there should have been quite a few contradictions between the *Farewell My Concubine* crew and John Lone, or rather his entire agency team. They felt that many conditions were too harsh. The fuse that finally led to the fallout was the "air-freight dog" incident, that is, John Lone requested to air-freight his beloved dog. It is rumored that he requested three transfers so that the dog could land and rest in the middle.

I don't know if it's true or not, but at that time, the newspapers were full of reports about John Lone falling out with the crew because of "air-freight dog." Later, there was the matter of producer Hsu Feng inviting Leslie Cheung back again. Leslie Cheung didn't take the opportunity to ask for a raise or any conditions, and it was still a salary of 1 million. To be honest, Leslie Cheung's temper this time is really good!

Jiang Qinqin mentioned "air-freight dog" because she hoped that Joey Wong would also have the same incident and resign. Although the hope is slim, what if it really happens?

But Wu Yuchen knew there was no possibility of this. Joey Wong was not coming to the mainland to shoot for the first time. She had already come when shooting *Green Snake* before.

Wu Yuchen comforted: "Qinqin, actually, the female lead in this play is not so outstanding. Most of the highlights are about to be snatched away by a group of children."

Jiang Qinqin pouted aggrievedly:

"I don't care if it's outstanding or not, I just want to be your female lead..."

When shooting *The Postman in the Mountains* before, Wu Yuchen said she was not suitable. After Jiang Qinqin saw the finished film, she recognized Zhou Xun's performance; before *Run Lola Run*, he still said her character didn't fit, and finally, it was selected for Wu Yuchen's cousin, so she naturally had nothing to say.

But this time she clearly felt that she was very suitable for this role, not worse than Joey Wong, but she was snatched away just because her fame was not as good as others. This made her feel aggrieved and unwilling.

"I don't want to have my role snatched by others in the future." Jiang Qinqin murmured to the phone.

"Okay, okay! I will definitely make you a big star in the future so that no one can snatch your play. I will specially shoot a female lead movie for you later!"

"Don't lie to me~"

"It's a deal!"

Hearing Jiang Qinqin's mood improve, Wu Yuchen also breathed a sigh of relief. Mainly, this time's matter is indeed a bit hurtful. Although it is very common in the industry, Jiang Qinqin is his girlfriend after all. He felt a little indebted, and it is good to give a promise to make her feel at ease.

"Chen Kun, you are also from Shancheng? Then we are fellow villagers!"

On the plane, Chen Shasha greeted Chen Kun who was sitting on the side enthusiastically.

Chen Kun smiled and nodded at Chen Shasha, then jumped over Chen Shasha and looked at the clouds outside the window.

Seeing this, Chen Shasha asked: "Is this your first time on a plane?"

"Well, I only saw it on TV before, never sat on it. I didn't expect the treatment of shooting to be so good!"

At this moment, Jiang Wu, who was beside Chen Kun, smiled and said, "How is that possible! I've only ever filmed with cars and trains before; this time, we're basking in the glory of a big star!"

"Ah?" Chen Kun showed a curious look.

Chen Shasha on the side interjected: "Joey Wong!"

Chen Shasha said and thought of the unhappy Jiang Qinqin again, and couldn't help but sigh. At first, Jiang Qinqin introduced her to act in this play. Unexpectedly, she, a supporting role, joined the crew smoothly, but Jiang Qinqin, the protagonist, was replaced. But who let that be Joey Wong!

Jiang Wu explained to Chen Kun: "The director told me that the train tickets were already bought for us, but after Joey Wong was decided, thinking that she came by plane, we couldn't be too negligent, so we changed to plane tickets."

Chen Kun suddenly realized after hearing this, and at the same time, a sense of expectation rose in his heart. After all, that is a big star who has only been seen on TV!

After several people arrived at the hotel, they happened to run into Wu Yuchen who had finished work and returned. Jiang Wu immediately took the lead and waved to say hello:

"Wu Dao, we arrived immediately when you called!"

"Hello Wu Dao!"

Chen Kun followed Chen Shasha and shouted. When he saw Wu Yuchen half a year ago, he thought he was just an ordinary student. Later, he was fooled by him into thinking he was a part-time counselor. Finally, he realized that he was a genius director. His impression of him was really constantly refreshing.

"Wu Ge, not bad, just keep this beard and don't shave it!"

"Shasha, Chen Kun, you both read the script, right?"

"Wu Dao, I have read it long ago! A rebellious girl with a soft heart, it must be no problem!" Chen Shasha responded with a smile, while Chen Kun just nodded.

At this time, Jiang Wu asked: "Hey hey, Wu Dao, has Joey Wong come?"

Wu Yuchen looked at Jiang Wu's yearning eyes, and then saw Chen Kun and Chen Shasha also looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"Are you here to act or to chase stars? Wu Ge, why don't you go chase your brother?"

"What's good to chase about him? How can he compare to Nie Xiaoqian! My wife specially told me to ask Joey Wong for a signed photo!" Jiang Wu laughed.

Seeing this, Wu Yuchen also sighed in his heart. Even Jiang Wu has this performance. It is conceivable how popular Joey Wong is now. It is no wonder that Han Sanping said it was a great joy to hear that Joey Wong was willing to join.

Qinqin, oh Qinqin, it is not a war crime!

Three days later, Wu Yuchen was shooting Jiang Wu's scenes. During the break, the assistant director leaned over and said with a smile: "Wu Dao, the producer called and said that Joey Wong has been picked up and is rushing to the hotel."

"Okay, you call the hotel again to confirm, and prepare the dinner more sumptuously!" After Wu Yuchen finished his instructions, he continued Jiang Wu's shooting.

Originally, according to Wu Yuchen's idea, he wanted to hold a press conference when Joey Wong joined the crew, but after consulting Joey Wong's opinion, he gave up. She doesn't want to deal with the media too much now.

Wu Yuchen naturally respects this. It is already good to be willing to lower the salary to act in their movie. There is no need to ask for so much, but a welcome banquet is indispensable.

That night, Wu Yuchen took the main creators and leads in the private room and didn't wait long before seeing a woman in a thick white down jacket walk in, with thick eyebrows and red lips, fairy skin better than snow, and a cute black wool hat on her head. It was none other than the great beauty Joey Wong.

Wu Yuchen immediately got up and greeted her: "Hello Miss Wong, welcome to the *My Brothers and Sisters* crew!"

Joey Wong saw this young and handsome boy who took the initiative to shake hands with her. She didn't quite understand his identity and just smiled politely: "Hello!"

The producer on the side then introduced: "Miss Wong, this is the genius director of our crew, Wu Yuchen."

Joey Wong showed a surprised look, and then smiled and said:

"Sorry, Wu Dao, you are so young and handsome, I just thought you were the actor playing my brother!"

Wu Yuchen laughed and pointed at Chen Kun: "This is the actor playing your brother Qi Tian, Chen Kun."

Chen Kun smiled shyly at Joey Wong, and at the same time hurriedly shook hands with Joey Wong.

Then Wu Yuchen introduced the crew members to her while leading Joey Wong into the private room.

Joey Wong was naturally arranged to sit next to Wu Yuchen in the seat of honor. Wu Yuchen saw that after she took off her down jacket, the tight wool sweater on her upper body outlined a graceful figure, and the long legs on her lower body were even more eye-catching. The body proportion can be called excellent.

Worthy of being Joey Wong, who became popular all over Asia at the age of 20 and is known as Asia's No. 1 beauty and Asia's No. 1 beautiful legs. Currently, she is still in her peak period, and both her face and figure are top-notch!

After Joey Wong sat down, she rubbed her hands: "This is my first time in the Northeast, it's really cold!"

"Hard work, many southerners are a bit unbearable when they first arrive in the Northeast. However, I expect the shooting should be very fast. If you are interested, you can also go to see the unique ice sculptures here, which are very characteristic."

"Can I? Then I will trouble Wu Dao and you after the shooting!" Joey Wong said with a smile.

Undoubtedly, after Joey Wong sat down, she became the protagonist at the dinner table.

At the beginning, everyone was a bit restrained, but after seeing that Joey Wong was quite approachable and had no airs, they became enthusiastic one after another.

"Sister Xiao Xian, I really like you very much. Nie Xiaoqian, Bai Suzhen, and Xue Qianxun are all super great!"

"Joey Wong, can you give me an autograph? My lover and I both like you very much!"

Wu Yuchen watched with a smile and didn't stop it, letting Joey Wong feel the enthusiasm of the mainland fans.

To be honest, the adult part of the scenes is not difficult. Joey Wong found the feeling after a little bit, and Jiang Wu and Chen Shasha had no problems. The only one who had more NGs was Chen Kun. After all, he had no experience, but relatively speaking, his scenes were relatively few, so the impact was not big.

No, there is one more person with the most NGs. It is not someone else, it is Wu Yuchen!

"Action!"

In the lens, Joey Wong showed an expectant look and looked to the side. At this time, a handsome young man walked quickly to her side with a smile on his face.

"How is it?" Joey Wong asked.

"Through the investigation, I have found some information about your brother!"

Wu Yuchen said with a smile, and then he paused and continued: "His name was Qi Tian, right?"

Seeing Joey Wong nod, Wu Yuchen said: "He is now called, Cao Jian."

"Cao Jian?"

"Yes, and we have already found him. He is studying at Harbin Institute of Technology."

Then Wu Yuchen stretched out his index finger and smiled: "Guess what I found?"

"What?" Joey Wong hurriedly pulled his hand and asked.

"I found his current photo." Wu Yuchen said and took out a few photos from his clothes and handed them to Joey Wong. And the lens also followed Joey Wong's line of sight and fixed on the photo, which was Chen Kun wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"Cut!"

Hearing this "Cut", Wu Yuchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Joey Wong saw his appearance on the side and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Wu Dao, is this your first time on camera? I see you are a bit nervous~"

Wu Yuchen nodded and admitted: "Mainly because it is too nervous to act with an idol."

"Don't give me that, I saw you talking about the play to me before." Joey Wong, who was already familiar with Wu Yuchen, didn't believe it.

Wu Yuchen joked: "That's different. When talking about the play with you, we are in a working relationship. When acting, we are in a romantic relationship. That must be nervous!"

That's right, Wu Yuchen played Joey Wong's boyfriend, a role with no less screen time than Chen Kun, because every time he helped the female lead find information about her brothers and sisters through various methods, naturally he appeared very often.

Originally, Jiang Qinqin was scheduled to play this female lead, so it was natural for Wu Yuchen to play her boyfriend in the movie, but he didn't expect it to be replaced by Joey Wong now.

This character is a handsome good boyfriend image, and he can speak fluent English. It looks high-end in this day and age. Wu Yuchen himself meets the requirements, so he is too lazy to find someone else.

It's just that this time Wu Yuchen finally felt that his acting talent was really average. What he thought in his mind could not be converted into performance at all. It seems that he can only guest star in the future.

The shooting was basically very smooth. In half a month, the adult scenes were almost shot, but the remaining airport pick-up scene encountered some trouble.

Qi Sitian, played by Joey Wong, is a famous conductor returning from overseas. In order to highlight her status, the film arranged a scene where reporters carried long guns and short cannons at the airport to block the pick-up.

Originally, it should have been a very simple scene, just needing a group of "fake reporters" to surround Joey Wong and Wu Yuchen. But because Joey Wong is a real big star, various people who came to watch the fun gathered at the airport. After finding out it was Joey Wong, they all became a bit fanatical, shouting and attracting more people.

This effect far exceeded the originally scheduled scene, but looking at this scene that was a bit out of control, Wu Yuchen, the "boyfriend" by her side, had to act as a bodyguard temporarily and hurriedly protected Joey Wong to escape the scene.

The time had reached the end of January, and only the last scene had not been shot. However, the crew had a wrap-up banquet first, because the last scene only needed Wu Yuchen and Joey Wong and a few others, and everyone would disperse and go home for the New Year after eating.

On the plane from Harbin back to Beijing, after the flight attendant agreed, the cameraman turned on the camera and aimed at Wu Yuchen and Joey Wong in their seats.

Joey Wong first had a smile on the corner of her mouth recalling childhood events, and then sighed slightly melancholically, looking out of the plane window.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Wu Yuchen asked with concern.

Joey Wong pursed her lips, then frowned and said: "I don't know why, I feel so nervous when I come back again, just like when I first performed. Look, my hands are full of sweat."

Wu Yuchen showed a warm smile, then reached out and held Joey Wong's hand, interlacing his fingers tightly with hers: "Sitian, don't be nervous, relax a little. I will help you, everything will be fine!"

Joey Wong smiled at Wu Yuchen and nodded.

At this time, the flight attendant passed by and reminded the two to fasten their seat belts, and the plane was about to descend.

"Cut!"

Wu Yuchen heard this and looked at it again after the front camera, smiled and nodded, and let the cameraman put away the camera.

Then Wu Yuchen returned to his seat, smiled and raised a glass of water: "This time it is truly wrapped up, cheers!"

Joey Wong smiled and picked up the drink in the glass and touched it with Wu Yuchen: "Cheers!" ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
