It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 266: Meeting the actors, Long Ma’s image is completely lost when she smiles. One of the greatest challenges!

After the awards ceremony at the Saturn Awards, the next step is the Cannes Film Festival.

However, since there were still a few days before the opening ceremony, Chen Fei decided to do some work that could be completed in a short time.

"Wall-E" production on Wall-E has stopped again. Two-thirds of the filming has been completed. Andrew Brocher and the others are arranging the props and scenes for the next third.

After returning from California, he went straight to Marvel Entertainment.

The company's split is in progress, Natasha has arranged a new office location for Marvel Studios, and Kevin Feige is moving with the employees he needs.

But this time Chen Fei's goal was not Marvel Studios, but Marvel Entertainment.

Marvel Studios is supported by the "Marvel Ten-Year Plan" and will continue to release hit commercial blockbusters, but Marvel Entertainment cannot be idle.

In December last year, Chen Fei gave Isaac Perlmutter a script for the TV series and told him to find actors.

That script is called "Game of Thrones"!
Now, after five full months, all the actors are in place.

As soon as the company split is completed, the filming of this great epic TV series will officially begin.

Chen Fei originally planned to meet the actors after the Oscars in February, but because he was in a hurry to prepare for "Mulan," he postponed it until now.

But time is actually not tight, because this TV series will be directed and filmed by him personally, just to fulfill a dream of his.

Of course, he would definitely not be able to win this kind of medieval epic fantasy-themed TV series with huge investment.

After all, the filming of the TV series "Game of Thrones" is more complicated than filming a movie. The complex and changeable scenes and story style are a big challenge for him.

He needs a good assistant.

As a result, Alan Taylor, who has filmed excellent TV series such as "Sex and the City", "The Sopranos", and "The West Wing", was invited to Marvel Entertainment.

He has obtained the script, and according to Chen Fei's instructions, Isaac Perlmutter even signed a long-term contract with him.

When I met the future Emmy Award-winning Director for a Drama or Drama Series, he was drinking coffee in the office.

The filming of the TV series is not yet scheduled to start, but he has already received his salary, so he is happy to have some leisure time.

"Director Allen?"

Chen Fei called him softly, drawing his attention back from the script.

He raised his head in confusion. The moment he saw Chen Fei, Alan Taylor's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a hint of excitement and admiration on his face!

"Oh! Fei! I'm finally waiting for you, this is so lucky."

The person in front of me is the latest Saturn Award for Best Director, and he is also one of the Hollywood A-class production directors. This status is simply idol-level for TV drama directors like Alan Taylor.

Even though Chen Fei looks very young, his strength makes people admire and respect him!

"Hello, Director Allen, nice to see you here."

Chen Fei smiled, hugged him, and invited him to sit down.

Looking at the "Game of Thrones" script on the table, Chen Fei had a thought in his heart: "Alan, what do you think of this story?"

“Excellent!”

The excitement on Alan Taylor's face did not diminish at all, but the tone of his voice increased a lot: "The Kingdom of the North, the Kingdom of the Valley, the Kingdom of the River, the Kingdom of Casterly Rock, the Kingdom of the Reach, the Kingdom of the Stormlands, the Kingdom of Dorne...

This is a great medieval epic fantasy story. It is luxurious, bloody, dark, weird, and sometimes surprisingly sweet, with malicious and good intentions intertwined. It is as unpredictable as life. I firmly believe that this drama will definitely welcome Come and explode! "

While speaking, Alan Taylor was still learning the lines in the script, swaying his body, and deliberately making his voice deeper.

"Winter is coming!"

"Never forget your identity, because the world will never forget it. Arm yourself with it and no one can use it to hurt you."

"Lions don't care what sheep think."

"In Game of Thrones, there is no middle ground if you are not the winner."

"The North will never be forgotten!"

Seeing him shouting in a deep voice, Chen Fei smiled, this guy was quite interesting, he actually put himself into the role.

"Ok, that's it, Alan."

Chen Fei raised his hand to stop his emotional speech and gave him an eighty in his heart.

"It's time to start work, Alan, you know, I'm very busy, so I need you to cooperate with Isaac Perlmutter to do some preliminary preparations."

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

Alan Taylor clapped his chest loudly and said with pride: "Fei, believe me, I will devote [-]% concentration and energy to this great TV series!"

"Okay, thank you for your efforts."

After leaving a contact information with the other party, Chen Fei left Marvel and called Bruce.

He and Isaac are responsible for the search for actors in Game of Thrones. As required, he has already signed most of the actors who are willing to sign with the agency to Volton Pictures.

"You want to meet Jason Momoa and Emilia Clarke?"

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Wait a moment, I will contact them to see where they are now."

As soon as the call was hung up, Bruce came back within a minute.

"Fei, I'm sorry, Jason is studying acting in Hawaii, and Amelia is currently at the Drama Center in London. Her studies have not yet been completed. If you want to see them, you may have to wait until the upcoming summer vacation."

London?
After pondering for a while, Chen Fei said: "I am about to fly to Mexico. Please help me contact Emilia Clark. I will take a detour from London to see her first."

"Ok, as you wish."

...

"Dragon Mother" Emilia Clarke, who was born in 86, has just turned 20 this year and is currently a sophomore student at the London Academy of Drama.

After landing in London and moving to the London Drama Center, Chen Fei saw this little "landmine" who was less than 1 meters tall.

Compared with Neptune...oh no, it's Horse King!

Compared with Ma Wang's height of nearly two meters, Amelia is just like a child.

But what is interesting is that although she is only 1.5 meters tall in the play, her temperament is as high as two meters. She controls the dragon and is one of the most noble people in the entire Game of Thrones.

Of course, the premise is that she can hold back and try not to laugh...

"Director Chen?"

When she saw Chen Fei, Amelia was still a little confused.

She couldn't reconcile the big boy of her own age in front of her with the proud and noble figure at the Golden Globes, Oscars, and Saturn Awards.

There is a huge difference between Chen Fei on the screen and Chen Fei in reality!

If she hadn't confirmed it again and again, she would have thought that the person in front of her was just an ordinary international student.

"Hello, Emilia, just call me Fei."

After saying hello to her, Chen Fei began to look at the ancient art academy in front of him with curiosity.

"Shall I take you around?" Amelia suggested.

"Okay, I'll bother you then." Chen Fei did not refuse.

Carrying a bag and walking beside Amelia, the two of them walked in this academy with a very strong artistic atmosphere.

"The London Drama Center is a British drama school affiliated with Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design at the University of the Arts London. It is also a member of the British Theater Association and provides BA and MA academic qualifications related to artistic performance.

There are as many as six majors here, including acting, directing, stage playwriting, etc., with more than 360 independent facilities, independent theaters and teaching buildings, which can comprehensively provide professional resources and educational environment for school students..."

When it comes to Britain, Chen Fei's first impression is the strong British style.

When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation!

The surrounding buildings are all in antique style, and most of the students coming and going are like the students in "Harry Potter", wearing college uniforms and looking very serious.

"You don't have class today?"

"Yes, today is Sunday, there will be a day off."

Emilia nodded in response while secretly looking at Chen Fei.

She still couldn't imagine that such a great film director would fly from Los Angeles to London just to meet her.

Although she has signed a contract with Waltons Pictures, she has only been there once, and she went there with her parents.

Before, she thought the conditions offered there were very favorable, but when the acquisition of Marvel was announced, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be too lucky.Now, the company's chief content executive has found her. Does this mean she is about to become famous?
Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them had arrived at the bottom of the college's dormitory.

Chen Fei stopped and did not continue walking forward.

"You can come in. No one is managing the vacation time. You can go up and have a rest. My roommates are all very easy to get along with."

Everyone has said so, so Chen Fei naturally has no reason to refuse.

It's just that his Chinese face is quite conspicuous in the college. Walking in the corridor, he inevitably attracts the attention of many people.

Maybe they didn't realize it for a while. Most people just thought he looked familiar, but they couldn't pronounce his name.

Until I walked into the dormitory and saw Amelia's other three roommates, the screams suddenly rang through the entire corridor!
"You...are you Fei? The Chinese director who won the Saturn Award for Best Director?"

A girl with blond hair, blue eyes and a curvy figure looked at Chen Fei in surprise.

The only pity is that the freckles on her face somewhat affect her appearance, covering up the most beautiful part.

Chen Fei nodded: "If there is no second Chinese in the world to win the Saturn Award for Best Director, then it should be me."

Omg!

Several other girls were so surprised that they were speechless for a moment!
This is so fantasy, a famous Chinese director from Hollywood actually came to their dormitory?

"Emilia? When did you meet?" A girl with slightly dark skin asked.

"Hey, it was at the end of last year."

Chen Fei took the initiative to add: "Emilia is the actress I chose for the new drama."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another "wow" sound in the dormitory. Everyone reacted extremely strongly, with expressions of envy on their faces.

Compared to others, Amelia's grades in school were not top-notch, and her road to school was also very bumpy.

But she never expected that she would be the first to find a job, and she would be working with such a top director!

This is very enviable.

"You guys chat."

The girls were quite understanding and left the dormitory on their own initiative, leaving the space for Chen Fei and Amelia.

The roommates left, and the girl couldn't help but feel a little shy.

A confined space with a man and a woman alone always makes people unable to help but have endless reveries.

"How do you understand the script? Your role is very important and serves as a link between the previous and the following. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Huh? Oh! Thank you!"

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Emilia blushed, nodded in response, and took out the "Game of Thrones" script from her bag.

"I'm very curious about the character's personality. I always feel that she is too indecisive. There are many problems that could have been avoided, but they were all hampered by her weak personality."

Chen Fei smiled slightly, it seemed that he had an in-depth understanding of this girl.

After thinking about it, he explained: "Everyone needs time and opportunities to grow. From babbling to running fast, it requires a difficult process, and this is what the audience likes..."

After discussing for more than two hours, Chen Fei answered many questions for her.

During this period, he could clearly hear the footsteps outside the door becoming more frequent. It was obvious that news of his arrival at the London Drama Center had spread.

Opening the door, as expected, the corridor was already crowded with a group of young girls in their twenties.

"Wow?! It's really him!"

"So handsome, like a dragon!"

"Amelia is so lucky, isn't she? She was chosen by him."

"Can I confess to him?"

"I like his performance in Super 3 so much. His cool driving skills are so mesmerizing."

Girls here in the United States are much more open-minded than those in China, and they are also very bold. When they saw Chen Fei going out, a group of girls dressed in fancy clothes gathered around him.

What surprised Chen Fei was that most people were looking forward to his performance in The Fast and the Furious.

"I also appeared in Furious 4, so you can look forward to it, and the director of Furious 4 is also a good friend of mine. I believe it will give everyone a very good perspective."

"yeah!"

Waves of cheers suddenly erupted in the corridor.

The role of "Han" started in Fast 3 and will last until Fast 6. When Chen Fei signed the contract with Universal Pictures, it was already agreed that he would continue to make guest appearances in the future.

As such, fans will continue to see his performance in several sequences to come.

I heard that James Wan has blown up hundreds of luxury cars, which is much more powerful than when Fei Chen was filming Speed ​​​​3. In order to pursue the perspective effect, that guy also did everything!
After finally getting through a group of white girls, Chen Fei breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Amelia, and went straight to the airport.

...

The Cannes Film Festival will be held on the 16th, leaving Chen Fei with 4 days left.

Taking advantage of this gap, he planned to go to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico to look for the Sea of ​​​​Colce.

Chen Fei had heard about the Sea of ​​Kolster before he was reborn, because this place was the filming location of the movie "Bad Thief".
At that time, the protagonist in the movie chose this place when he challenged the task of "water creatures".

The Sea of ​​​​Colce is located between northwest Mexico and the Baja California Peninsula. The entire sea runs northwest to southeast, is narrow in the north and wide in the south. It looks like a big trumpet.

The bay is about 1200 kilometers long, 90 to 210 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​16 square kilometers.

This long and narrow bay is the marginal sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean that penetrates into the North American continent. It is divided into two parts by the isthmus of the two major islands of Angel de la Guarda and Dibloon.

The water level in the north is shallow, the water depth in the south is more than 2500 meters, and the deepest reaches 3218 meters.

Because of the narrow tube effect and its special geographical location, the Sea of ​​Corster is known as a veritable surfing paradise, and many surfers flock to this sea area.

Looking at the entire sea area, even on a calm and sunny day, the rough waves are still violent and ferocious, and tsunamis occur from time to time.

Many sailors are accustomed to calling this place the Sea of ​​Terror!
The reason is very simple, because the waves here are really too big. Huge waves of several meters high are nothing here, and waves of more than ten meters high are the norm.

If a storm passes through and a tsunami breaks out, it will be a feast of nature!
Countless surfers have been buried here, but even though the threat of death is extremely high, many surfers still arrive here just to pursue that moment of excitement and pleasure!
...

Arriving in Mexico by plane, Chen Fei immediately saw Flori Gallenberger who came to pick him up.

Red Bull has made a lot of preparations for this challenge, and as an investor, Flori arrived near the Sea of ​​Kolster a month ago.

"Fei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your reputation in Hollywood has been rising recently."

"Haha, if I said I was just lucky, would you believe it?"

"No, no, no! I believe in your strength even more!"

"Hahaha."

After getting in the car, with a professional driver responsible for driving, the two began planning for this challenge.

"Fei, I think now is not the right time to challenge. According to the meteorological department's report some time ago, on the 14th, the Corster Sea will usher in the largest storm of the year!

According to the announcement, the storm will move at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour over the Pacific Ocean near the equator and approach the Caribbean Sea at great speed.

The maximum sustained wind speed of the storm may reach 80-100 km/h, and the rainfall may even reach more than 300 mm.

At that time, the entire sea area will form a very terrifying storm surge under the influence of the storm. Coupled with the narrow tube effect, the huge waves will swallow everything! "

"I know."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes.

This type of storm surge is most often caused by strong winds and intense atmospheric disturbances, and occurs only a very limited number of times a year.

If you miss this opportunity, you will usually only see small waves.

If an SSS-level mission was only used to deal with small waves of a few meters high, Chen Fei felt that this was a disrespect for the mission.

In order to double the rewards and reputation, he must challenge a big one!
"Are you sure you've thought about it?"

Flory did not persuade too much because he knew that his persuasion would not have much effect. With so much time to persuade, it was better to make more preparations.

"I'm very sure." Chen Fei nodded solemnly.

"Ok." Flory shrugged, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of Red Bull's publicity department directly: "The challenge will officially start on the 14th, let's announce it.

This will be one of the greatest challenges ever funded by Red Bull! "
