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

Chapter 356: "Avatar"? An inappropriate thought, where is Mei Lanfang? No way! (Ask for monthly ticket)

The time came to four o'clock in the afternoon.

When the system's beep echoed in his mind, Chen Fei pressed the bicycle's double brakes and braked the wheel to a stop at a street corner.

There were many foreigners watching behind him, as well as many reporters carrying cameras. Everyone's eyes were on him, unblinking, for fear of missing some wonderful scenes.

After looking at the leaflets that had been distributed on the side of the shelf, Chen Fei raised his lips slightly.

"The leaflets have been distributed and the system tasks have been completed. Next... go back to the hotel!"

He waved to everyone behind him to say goodbye, then stepped on the bicycle pedal and headed back to the original road like a gust of wind.

The beeps of the system continued in my mind.

[Ding·Congratulations to the host for completing the challenge mission (performing a cool and exciting bicycle acrobatic performance on the streets of Berlin and gaining 30000 reputation points)]

[A total of 43256 reputation points were obtained for this mission. 】

[Due to the extremely high degree of completion of this task, double blind box rewards are triggered! 】

[A-level reward blind box × 2 has been distributed successfully. 】

[The blind box is opening...]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: high-quality script gift pack, motorcycle driving proficiency (Lv3)]

"Open the gift bag first."

Chen Fei issued commands to the system while riding his bicycle.

The process of completing the task is exciting, but in comparison, opening the gift pack is even more exciting!

Every time he opened the script gift package, Chen Fei felt a thrill of rapid heartbeat and adrenaline surge. This feeling when facing an unknown reward was no less than the shiver afterward.

[Ding·The high-quality script gift package has been opened. Congratulations to the host for receiving the script rewards: "How to Train Your Dragon", "Sworn Brothers", and "The Flower of the Heart". 】

"Oh, that's not bad!"

Looking at the three rewards that appeared in the system's script library, Chen Fei couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and a sense of excitement arose in his heart.

"How to Train Your Dragon" is an animated film based on the 2003 children's book "How to Train Your Dragon" by British writer Gressida Cowel.

The film tells the story of Hiccup, a young Viking from Berk Island who secretly released and raised an injured flying dragon during a dragon-slaying operation. He even tamed the dragon and became friends with it in the process, eventually facing disasters and challenges together. s story.

This is another classic animated series that can be compared with "Kung Fu Panda"!

Chen Fei was still thinking about whether he should show off his abilities as a "chief content executive" after becoming the second largest shareholder of DreamWorks.

Now this "How to Train Your Dragon" has arrived just in time, and it can be co-produced by DreamWorks and Waltons Pictures.

Goal: Specialize in Disney!

As for the movie "Sworn Brothers", it is a story set in South Korean society. It mainly tells a series of stories about South Korean intelligence agent Lee In-kyu and Northern Dynasty agent Song Zhiyuan after they were expelled by their respective organizations and lived under the same roof.

Chen Fei focused his attention on the script and saw that there was a strong sense of Hong Kong style between the lines.

In recent years, South Korean films have been greatly influenced by the Hong Kong film market.

Including the hit movie "New World" in South Korea, it has a strong Hong Kong flavor, and many movie fans even saw the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" in it.

As the producer of the script, Chen Fei did not deny this.

"The subject matter is quite good. Why don't you take it to SBS?"

The acquisition of SBS TV station by Volton Pictures is currently in progress. Natasha has been following up on the matter recently. It seems that it will not take long for the entire acquisition process to be completed.

As the branch of Volton Pictures in South Korea, it is naturally inseparable from film and television investment, production and distribution.

Therefore, it is particularly important to use an excellent movie to prove one's strength to the outside world!

This good start must be "red" enough.

"So, is this a good movie?"

Chen Fei was thinking secretly while pedaling his bicycle.

Unfortunately, he couldn't think of a reason for the moment, so he simply put the matter behind him and studied it after the company acquisition was completed.

Finally, Chen Fei's eyes fell on the last script for this gift pack reward.

"Heart Blossoms on the Road"

Speaking of this movie, it’s nothing to underestimate!

The story tells the story of a ridiculous and interesting "love-seeking journey" between Geng Hao and his good friend Hao Yi.

The script adopts a two-line narrative technique, with the breakdown of the marriage between Geng Hao and Kang Xiaoyu as the starting point of the narrative. The story of Hao Yi and Geng Hao "looking for love" on their way to the crew to deliver props is interspersed with the story of Kang Xiaoyu's journey to Dali alone in the past and his relationship with him. The story of how Geng Hao met tells the story of the different pursuits of marriage, life and ideals by different people in modern life.

This movie has created a very high honor in film history. With its exquisite storyline, unique narrative method, and beautiful scenery that are constantly interspersed during the journey, it won the box office championship of domestic films in 11.69 with a final total box office of 2014 billion. !

"This is a king!"

At this moment, Chen Fei thought of "Avatar" inexplicably.

He was suddenly moved. The investment in this film was not high, but the story was very novel. It was the kind of commercial comedy that uses small things to make big things happen.

"How about I do it myself?"

After thinking about his current movie plans, Chen Fei became more and more ready to make a move.

However, before he could think about it, he looked up and found that he had already returned to the hotel!

"Forget it, let's finish the current work first and then talk about it. The rest is a matter of course."

Muttering in his mouth, Chen Fei turned over and got out of the car, pushing the bicycle towards the hotel lobby.

In addition to these three movie scripts, the system also awarded a "Motorcycle Driving Proficiency", and at this time, a lot of knowledge about motorcycles was emerging in his mind.

What’s interesting is that this skill can be linked to the two skills of “Riding Mastery” and “Cycling Skills Mastery”, forming an effect of 1+1+1>3!

"It's quite interesting."

He whispered to himself and pushed the bicycle back into the room first.

This bike was flown in from Red Bull. His challenge mission is now over and someone will pick it up in two days.

He returned to the hotel at 4:30, and by the time the others came back, it was already around 5:30 in the afternoon.

Looking at everyone with tired faces, he smiled and asked: "How is it? Have you finished distributing the leaflets?"

Ning Hao was okay, nodded and said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

On the contrary, Liu Yifei and Zhu Zhu smiled awkwardly, both of them still holding a stack of flyers in their hands.

"Have you finished sending out all yours?"

"Yes, I'll be back at half past four."

"Why are you so fast?"

Liu Yifei was a little shocked. If this were in China, she was confident that the flyers would shine in less than an hour.

But now in Berlin, her identity as a Chinese female celebrity is not very useful. Many people even frowned when they saw them handing out flyers, and almost reached out to chase them away.

So she was still shocked that Chen Fei distributed flyers so quickly!

"If you get this chance again, next time you follow me, I will show you how powerful I am."

Chen Fei smiled and did not explain. Today he has brought quite a shock to the people of Berlin. I am afraid that the news will be published in the newspapers tomorrow.

As expected, as soon as evening arrived, several domestic portals had already reported the news.

Many reporters even sent the photos and videos they took to the mainland for publication on websites to seize hot spots in a timely manner.

As soon as the video was released, it immediately triggered discussions among domestic netizens.

On the Tieba forum, a group of movie fans and extreme sports enthusiasts opened posts and forwarded the videos to share with others.

"As expected of a Red Bull signed athlete, that's awesome!"

"What the hell? Can you ride a bicycle like this? Shouldn't this thing be run on flat roads? How can it still go up mountains? How do you do it?"

"Good guy! This operation is so precise!"

"Have you noticed that there are leaflets tied to the side of the bicycle frame? So you are handing out leaflets while riding?"

"Director Chen can always do some shocking tricks..."

Not to mention, although the act of handing out leaflets may seem tacky to many people, the effect is really awesome!

The direct manifestation is that the organizers of the film festival even approached Chen Fei the next day and expressed that they wanted to increase the number of screenings for their "The Embalmer".

The reason is simple. Fan support is so high that the organizers can't stand it anymore.

Liu Yifei, Ning Hao and others all watched the video and were stunned for a long time before they recovered.

"This operation is really crazy. It would be weird if we couldn't finish the leaflets." On the other side of the hotel, after hearing about Chen Fei's "leaflet distribution behavior" and the film festival organizer's initiative to increase the number of screenings After what happened, the contempt and disdain on Brother Chen Kai's face immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Propaganda...can it still come like this?"

At this moment, a strong sense of frustration and speechlessness filled his heart.

This feeling of being suppressed repeatedly is really uncomfortable!

But what he didn't know was that the crew of "The Embalmer" who were idle and bored today actually went to see "Mei Lanfang" currently being screened at the Berlin Film Festival.

"Let's see if there's any uncut footage."

Chen Fei and Ning Hao came to the cinema in a hurry, but what they had in mind were the thoughts they had when watching "Lust, Caution" and "Apple".

"Old Chen seems quite serious. I wonder if those uncut clips will be released directly?"

The two of them had unreasonable thoughts, but unfortunately, they were disappointed in the end.

The Berlin version of "Mei Lanfang" is exactly the same as the domestic version. Apart from Wang Xueqi's superb acting, there is nothing else worthy of praise in the film.

Zhang Ziyi is still in the "lost" state of acting, and Li Ming's performance is also lackluster, which is far worse than Leslie Cheung in "Farewell My Concubine"!

Especially in the second half, Chen Fei became more and more sad the more he watched it.

"Isn't this the second time I have let myself go when I step on a horse?" This was the second time he watched this movie, so the feeling of anticlimactic ending became even more intense.

After walking out of the theater, Ning Hao sighed, "Oh, it's hard to explain. Why did you deviate from the main line while filming?"

"Then you have to ask the producer."

"Chen Hong?"

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment and curled his lips, feeling more and more at a loss for words.

Who in the industry doesn't know that Chen Hong treats Brother Chen Kai as a "god"? As a producer, it's strange that she can control Lao Chen!

"If Han Sanping or Xu Feng were to be the producers of this movie, the effect would never be like this."

Chen Fei said very firmly.

"Xu Feng?" Ning Hao was slightly startled, "Are you talking about Ms. Xu Feng, the producer of "Farewell My Concubine"?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded lightly.

Xu Feng is not comparable to Chen Hong. She is not only a well-known investor in the industry, but also the proprietress of Tomson Group. She crushes the latter in all aspects and can definitely suppress Brother Chen Kai.

It's a pity that the two have parted ways since the "Feng Yue" movie, and I don't know what kind of inside story happened between them.

Ning Hao was thoughtful. In his heart, he actually admired Brother Chen Kai. After all, he could produce a work like "Farewell My Concubine". No matter how bad Lao Chen was, he couldn't be any worse.

As long as you give him a top producer and a top screenwriter, it shouldn't be difficult to recreate the glory.

However, what he didn't know was that Brother Chen Kai would later produce a "masterpiece" that was comparable to "Three Guns" - "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"!

Chen Fei had made up his mind long ago that Wang Baoqiang would never be allowed to participate in this movie.

This horse riding movie is pure crap!

~

Time began to accelerate.

In the following time, Chen Fei and Ning Hao all entered the movie-watching state, and they watched all the films shortlisted for the main competition.

In fact, in addition to these main competition films, the Berlin Film Festival also has some low-budget literary films, and Chen Fei also chose to watch a few of them.

During this period, they also met with many film producers and received more or less quotations.

If this happened in the past, Chen Fei might still be unable to keep his temper, but now he is already a veteran, and several blockbusters have been hooked by him.

Anyway, his only attitude is to wait for the closing ceremony to be over and then talk about the sale of copyright.

Several film producers were very angry, but they had no choice but to be held by him like this.

At the same time, Chen Fei also took the time to attend the 36th Annie Awards ceremony.

As the No. 1 box office animated feature film last year and the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, "Kung Fu Panda" received 17 nominations and finally won 10 awards, sweeping all the Annie Awards in the animation category. Film Awards!

As for Disney's "Lightning Dogs", unfortunately, it only has one best creative award this year, which is a consolation award.

On the other hand, with Natasha's vigorous operation, "Slumdog Millionaire" frequently appeared in major award ceremonies.

Without exception, it was a great success!

Okuko's reputation is indeed outstanding. The President of the United States has publicly released a long film review. How could other awards ceremonies go against his recommendations?

In this way, time rushed to the day of the closing ceremony.

As the issuer, Ren Zhonglun led the company's negotiation team to Berlin overnight.

They can also get their hands on the subsequent copyright sharing. Although the sharing ratio is not too high, it cannot support the large base. This is not an ordinary mosquito leg, it should be called a high-quality mosquito leg!

"What should I do? Have you contacted the film producer?" As soon as Ren Zhonglun arrived at the hotel, his focus fell on the copyright fee.

Chen Fei glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "That's not important. The most important thing now is whether we can get the prize. As long as we can get the prize, we can double the current asking price, but if we can't get it, Prize, then go home and wash up and sleep."

For a time, the breathing of everyone in the room became much more disordered.

Ren Zhonglun rarely had the opportunity to attend such a grand film festival. After a while, he couldn't sit still and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking very impatient.

He knew that there was an unwritten rule at the film festival, that is, any film that could win an award would receive an invitation call or text message from the organizer.

So, every few minutes, he glanced at Chen Fei and asked, "The call hasn't come yet?"

"Mr. Ren, please be patient. It's still early."

Chen Fei looked dumbfounded, and Ren Zhonglun kept asking questions, which made him a little nervous.

"It's already 9:, it's getting late..."

He started talking nonchalantly again, and the others may have been infected by his emotions, and they all became irritable and restless.

However, at this moment, a sound of "dinging bells" suddenly resounded in the room.

Everyone subconsciously focused their attention on Chen Fei, but found that his eyes were looking towards Ning Hao.

"Yes...it's the organizer's call!" Ning Hao held the phone and suddenly felt at a loss.

"Take it!" Ren Zhonglun urged him quickly.

"Oh! Oh!" Ning Hao responded and pressed the connect button. The expression on his face soon became extremely colorful.

After a while, he hung up the phone, unable to suppress his inner excitement.

"It was the call from the chairman of the jury. She asked us to attend the closing ceremony."

"yeah!"

Instantly, cheers filled the room.

But at this moment, Ning Hao suddenly added: "She also specifically told me that Chen Fei must be present to participate."

"Um?!"

On the sofa, Chen Fei's expression gradually became suspicious.

……

In the afternoon, everyone dressed up and walked on the red carpet for the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival.

The domestic media has paid a lot of attention to this Berlin Film Festival. After all, this year there are three mainland directors with a box office of 100 million yuan, Chen Fei, Ning Hao, and Chen Kaige, and there are also two films such as "Mei Lanfang" and "The Embalmer". An excellent film.

"Look, it's directors Chen Fei and Ning Hao, and they're the crew of "The Embalmer"!"

"Don't tell me, Director Chen's good looks are beyond compare. He is one of the best among the male actors in the industry."

"Haha, Director Chen is from the Performance Department of Nortel, and he is in the same class as Liu Yifei."

"Lang talent and female appearance!"

"If these two can fall in love, I agree with both hands and feet!"

"Go away! No one can touch my fairy sister."

The reporters were talking a lot. Seeing Chen Fei and others walking on the red carpet, they quickly gathered around for interviews.

However, as time went by, they discovered that something seemed not quite right?

On the red carpet at the opening ceremony, the main creators of "Mei Lanfang", especially actresses such as Zhang Ziyi and Chen Hong, competed for their beauty and shone brightly. But why didn't they appear on the red carpet at the closing ceremony?

Someone speculated: "Could it be that he appeared later?"

However, until the red carpet ceremony was over, they still didn't see Brother Chen Kai or anyone from the "Mei Lanfang" crew!

For a time, many people who knew the inside story had a bold guess.

"No way? No way! Is "Mei Lanfang" scrapped?"
