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

Chapter 402 If you step on the horse, aren’t you bullying an honest person? ?
With the film schedule and promotion in place, as long as the film is not particularly bad, it is absolutely impossible to lose money.

Huo Qigang would update Chen Fei on the box office results of "Chill" every few days.

1 million…1.5 million…1.8 million…

The box office has grown steadily, which makes the Emperor very envious.

"I just hope that "Anti-Drug" can have such results after it is released. Even if it is a little worse, it doesn't matter, but don't miss it too much..."

The Xiangjiang Film Festival was quite successful. "Anti-Drug" received a lot of praise. Now it's time to verify the results.

Under Yang Shoucheng's special arrangements, "Ip Man 3" is now almost in preparation and will be ready to start filming after the start of the new year.

Considering that this is a series of movies after all, and that Donnie Yen is not too arrogant, after his active struggle, the original cast was finally decided.

However, in order to enrich the plot, many new characters have been added to the play, such as Zhang Jing, Tan Yaowen, Tyson, etc.

On the day after signing the contract, Donnie Yen specially came to the mainland and came to the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" to thank Chen Fei for his support.

They couldn't tie up Zhou Xun. Even though they promised a lot of huge profits, they still couldn't stop the girl's determination to leave, so they had to give up in the end.

On the set of "Gong Lock Heart Jade", Yang Mi suddenly stood up with bright eyes.

"What? Is she interested too? Okay, you have a good talk with her. Stop fooling around. It's time to get serious..."

She actually knows in her heart that Cai Yinong has been treating her as Liu Yifei's replacement, and even various publicity releases say that she is little Liu Yifei.

"According to Liu Yifei's current celebrity status, it is no longer possible for her to continue to play this kind of role. In other words, unless it is a literary film, commercial films with an investment of less than 1 million are not suitable for her, let alone this kind of "official film" "Prostitute" type character."

"Forget it, let's end this Zhou Xun matter. You can go find the agency and ask them to see if there is a suitable candidate and send them over. The works of Feiyue Film and Television are good."

After answering several calls, Chen Fei sent Lu Yang a text message.

She hasn't had a suitable movie role for a long time, and the outside world has almost forgotten that she is still a movie star. If she doesn't work hard now, she may not even be able to drink hot soup in the future.

...

For a time, many actresses in the group who were thinking about getting promoted started to take notice!

Jiang Wen is also well-known for his ability to pluck, and Hisaishi asked the old man to be plucked as wool again. This is the second time the two collaborated after "The Sun Also Rises".

Therefore, whether these people who use internal referrals can pass the test in the end depends on the choices of Lu Yang and Jiang Xuerou.

"Mr. Cai, shouldn't this kind of role be exclusive to Liu Yifei?"

Seeing this situation, everyone felt like a mirror!
"Is this already decided?"

"It can't be her!" Cai Yinong shook his head, very sure.

Looking at it now, Zhou Xun has already found a way out for himself!

He was really embarrassed to refuse some people's requests, but it was absolutely impossible to make an implicit decision. Since he wanted to delegate power, he had to delegate it thoroughly.

There are no audition requirements for the main roles such as Xiao Wei, Princess Jing, and Huo Xin. There are only some second male, second female, third female, and third male roles to choose from.

Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun looked at each other and sighed, feeling helpless.

"I'm going to audition!"

"Okay, I can help you get the opportunity to audition, but I can't say whether you can succeed or not."

~

Ning Hao officially announced the start of the casting process, but after the list was announced, everyone discovered that there seemed to be only a few roles to choose from.

What attracted more people's attention was the only female character in the play who occupied a large number of scenes!
"Jiaofang Siguan prostitute Zhou Miaotong!"

At this time, in addition to Yang Mi, Tangren, Chengtian, Huayi, Guangguang, etc. on the other side also heard the news and wanted to push their actresses up.

The filming here is proceeding in an orderly manner, and preparations for several other dramas have also begun.

"Oh fine."

"It's quite cheap Zhou Xun..."

"Recommend a role? Investment? Forget it, I have already pushed out all the jobs there. Lu Yang and Jiang Xuerou are in charge. Just submit your resume."

After the announcement of the casting for "Painted Skin 2", within two days, the casting requirements for "Xiu Chun Dao" were also announced.

There are no pre-determined roles here. Except for Zhang Yi, most of the others require casting to be finalized.

Jiang Wen seemed to have discovered a new world, so he pulled him to do more drama!
The two of them had worked with the Emperor before and were old acquaintances, so naturally Donnie Yen would not refuse and immediately agreed.

Liu Shishi was a little curious. She didn't think she could compete with Liu Yifei, who was much bigger than her in terms of position and influence.

Liu Shishi responded, looking a little sad.

"I'll submit my resume right away." The agent responded quickly.

……

"I'm afraid I'll still use the original cast. After all, this is a sequel, and using the original cast can also attract attention."

"Row!"

Someone even called Chen Fei.

But...is she really worthy?

Chen Fei probably listened to the conversation between the two. The theme song of the film still uses the song of the same name from "The Sun Also Rises" as the core music throughout the play.

In addition, Joe Hisaishi is also planning to incorporate elements of Japanese Taiko drums into the film, and selected the brass music "Colonel Porky's March" composed by the British composer Alford in 1914, and "Suanqiu" composed by the Chinese composer Shu Nan "Song" and "Farewell" as interludes.

Jiang Wen waved his hand, "I've been optimistic about you since I stepped on the horse. I think your ability is much better than Mozart. You are proven by me."

Hisaishi Joe: Aren’t you bullying an honest person by riding a horse? ?
Chen Fei looked on with great joy. These two people were also famous for being enemies, representatives of falling in love and killing each other!

After a few days of filming, the crew began to move, preparing to go to the Kaiping Diaolou Community in Jiangmen. This place not only retains the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, but also has the splendor of Western-style architecture. It fits well with the background of the film - the Beiyang Warlord Period. very high!

At the same time, the image of Huang Silang in the film is that of an overlord who has returned from overseas. The architectural style of the watchtower also echoes the background of the character, making it the most suitable shooting location.

Because he had to make a lot of preparations when he went there, Chen Fei did not follow him there immediately. After saying hello to Jiang Wen, he skipped work directly.

"Twelve Zodiac Signs" directed by Chen Long came to the mainland for promotion, and they called several times to ask him, the screenwriter, to help.

The film will be screened at the Hong Kong Film Festival on December 12th, and then simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong on December 12th.

Several investors have high expectations and are just waiting to make a fortune from it.

Chen Fei couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

And when he left the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" and rushed to the CCTV building, a group of people were already waiting for him.

"Brother, you're fine!"

"Haha, I've finally waited for you. This little boy is really hard to date!"

Chen Long had a look of emotion on his face and wished he could put his belt on his belt. It was really difficult to catch him.

"I'm here right now."

While chatting, Chen Fei said hello to the two long-legged girls who were following Chen Long.

Zhang Lanxin, Yao Xintong...

Although these two girls have caused a lot of scandals with Chen Long in recent days, it has to be said that as newcomers, their popularity has been well established.

"Hello, Director Chen."

Yao Xintong can actually be regarded as Chen Fei's senior sister. After all, she is from the 01 class, one class higher than Chen Fei.

But in front of Chen Fei, she would never dare to claim herself as a senior sister. The gap between the two was like the Mariana Trench, completely unbridgeable!

Now she just wants to leave some good influence in front of Chen Fei. After all, she also participated in the casting of "Xiu Chun Knife", so she might have a chance.

"Ah hello."

Chen Fei nodded, as if he had said hello.

The publicity activity was conducted by the Sixth Princess, which was equivalent to a talk show. As the leading actress, Jing Wei showed a very professional hosting level.

After it was over, under Chen Long's strong pull, Chen Fei had to follow him to the restaurant for another meal.

"Do you think there is still hope for me to return to Hollywood?"

“Rush Hour again?”

"Correct!"

"It's difficult." Chen Fei didn't mean to hit him. Jackie Chan is getting old and really can't beat him anymore. Now he can only sell his feelings.

If Chinese actors want to become famous in Hollywood, in addition to the quality of their works, they must also show off all their skills.

"Alas." Chen Long sighed, feeling like a late hero.

He still wants to go back to Hollywood. After all, that was the foundation for his successful promotion to an "international superstar." He is only 55 now, and he feels that he can still handle it.

"Want to go back?" Chen Fei saw his thoughts.

"Well, I think so!"

Chen Long nodded without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Chen Fei rolled his eyes, looked at him carefully, and suddenly thought of a protagonist role that was quite suitable for him.

"Shang-Chi!"

Wouldn't it be better to use Chen Long than Liang Chaowei?

"Just wait for my good news. Although it may take a little longer, I will find a suitable role for you."

Chen Fei did not agree immediately. After all, it was still too early for the movie "Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings" to be released. It's better not to have too high expectations for him now.

"Haha, I feel relieved because of your words. Come! Drink! I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight!" Chen Long was so happy that he drank a third of a bottle of white wine. Chen Fei stared at him!

……

After only participating in one promotional event, Chen Fei ran away directly.

He was not in a hurry to go to "Let the Bullets Fly". Jiang Wen said that he would call him when he was ready.

Taking advantage of his free time, Chen Fei flew to the Magic City and went straight to Shangmei Factory!

Modu Art Film Studio is affiliated to Shanghai Film Group, and Shanghai Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio were once fraternal units, and they both had glorious pasts.

Ren Zhonglun personally went to the airport to pick up Chen Fei and took him to Shanghai Film Studio.

There were already many people waiting for him here, and they even held a rather exaggerated small welcome ceremony for him!

"Warmly welcome Mr. Chen to visit for inspection..."

"Huh? Such a grand event?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Ren Zhonglun. He never said before coming that there would be such a link?

Ren Zhonglun shrugged, "It has nothing to do with me, they fixed it themselves."

"I'm just here to take a look, there's no need to make such a big show." Chen Fei was a little dumbfounded. He even saw reporters accompanying him!
"Haha, let's go. I haven't been here for a while. I want to hang out with you."

Ren Zhonglun couldn't help but pulled him inside.

The person in charge of introducing Chen Fei was a girl from the publicity department of Shangmei Factory. She was beautiful and sweet-tongued, and her story telling was quite pleasant.

"Shangmei Factory has an extremely rich copyright library, as well as many film and television works, such as "Havoc in the Sky", "Nezha Haohai", "Calabash Brothers"..."

At this time, Chen Fei noticed that there were many anime character dolls placed on both sides of the corridor, and there was even a dedicated cashier area.

"Copyright protection must be taken seriously..."

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Shangmei Factory next to him was slightly startled, and nodded in recognition, but with a look of embarrassment on his face, "What Mr. Chen said makes sense, but it's difficult!"

The news that Volton Pictures is going to open a "Ready Player One Dream Theme Park" in the Mainland has already spread, especially at Shangmei Factory, and more people are paying attention.

Everyone knows that Chen Fei has a deep understanding of animation. After all, he is the only Chinese director who has won many international animation awards so far.

This is also the reason why the Shangmei Factory created such a big show today. Everyone came with the mentality of "learning from experience".

"It's difficult, but it must be done!"

Regarding the legal aspect, Chen Fei has always admired Tencent and Disney.

The names of "Nanshan Pizza Hut" and "The Most Powerful Legal Department on Earth" can be said to frighten rivals and enemies. If the company's interests are not harmed, copyright must be taken seriously!
A voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears, "Well, the domestic animation market is complicated and it is getting harder and harder to do it."

He looked sideways and saw that the person speaking was actually a middle-aged woman.

Someone introduced aloud, "This is Director Su Da, the person in charge of "Big Ear Tutu"."

"Hello, senior sister." Chen Fei smiled and shook hands with her. He is a senior sister from the Nortel Fine Arts Department. He heard Li Yang mention this as a talented person.

"Don't dare, don't dare, just call me Su Da." In front of Chen Fei, no one dared to make excuses.

Now that we know each other, we can't avoid chatting for a while, and Chen Fei is also willing to chat with such a professional person.

"Among the domestic animated films in the past few years, it seems that only "Xi Yang Yang and Big Big Wolf" has done quite well, right? As for the others, I don't seem to have seen any particularly high-quality works?"

"Well, it is indeed."

Su Da nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

In fact, Shangmei Factory also invested in a Hong Kong cartoon called "Wind and Cloud" last year, and specially hired a group of extremely powerful dubbing lineups for this purpose, including Ren Xianqi, Nicholas Tse and other famous figures in the Hong Kong industry!
It's a pity that the final box office was only 3000 million, and the compensation was a mess.

Chen Fei raised a new topic, "Have you ever heard about the IP "Astro Boy"?"

"Are you talking about the cartoon led by Italian-Malaysian Animation, which claims to have invested 5 million yuan?"

"Yes, that's it."

The reason why Chen Fei suddenly mentioned this IP was mainly because of the light.

Wang Changtian is a wonderful person. He probably saw the explosive box office revenue of "Kung Fu Panda". After announcing his official entry into the film industry, he also set his sights on the field of animated films.

This "Astro Boy" has Guangguang's participation, and Lao Wang has high hopes for it. He even called Chen Fei specifically before to ask if this project can be profitable?
Because he didn't know much about this IP at the time, Chen Fei didn't reply to him in detail, but just asked him to think twice before making a decision.

As for what happened next, Wang Changtian naturally jumped into it.

At this time, Suda suddenly shook her head and said that she didn't know much about it, "I only know that this movie is said to be distributed globally. No matter how much, I don't know much about it."

Chen Fei smiled and decided to tell her about his experience in making animated films in the past few years!
"Actually, animated films are limited by the form of expression and need a good story. Just like our domestic animated films, a gorgeous story that is divorced from reality is the main competitiveness of animated films against live-action films.

Moreover, animation naturally lacks a sense of reality. The plot must be used to draw the audience into it, so that the audience can be deeply involved. This is one of the criteria for success! "

"Mr. Chen is absolutely right. I happen to think so too, but...it's hard to create a good story!"

Huh? Is this another NPC mission triggered?
Chen Fei subconsciously looked to the left and back, wondering who was making trouble just now.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged woman walking towards him, and she extended her hand from a distance, wearing a well-made hat.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I am Wu Hanqing from Qingqingshu Animation Technology Company. You can just call me Xiao Wu."

Wu Hanqing?
Chen Fei recalled the memories in his mind and suddenly became enlightened!

Isn't this the same company that produced "Quiba"?

"Hello, Mr. Wu, are you... here for investigation?" Chen Fei noticed the group of people led by Wu Han leaning behind him. They were so large and conspicuous.

"I have some technical issues, so I came here specifically to learn more."

"Yeah, okay, then Mr. Wu will be busy first."

Chen Fei had no intention of communicating too much with the other party. He had also asked Su Guohai to do some research before. Compared with "Quiba", he was still more optimistic about the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series.

Especially the opening song "Moonlight" was brought to life by this guy Hu Yanbin!

Wu Hanqing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but there were too many people around, and Chen Fei didn't seem very interested. In the end, he could only hand over a business card and leave with regret.

In fact, the "Kuiba" series is already a big burden for Qingqingshu Animation Technology. In order to produce this series, they have almost emptied their wealth.

Wu Hanqing had mentioned looking for funds from outside, but her husband vetoed it. Facing the abundant capital, the couple loved and feared it. They were always worried that what was supposed to be theirs would be wasted in the end.

However, some people are always hesitant when faced with opportunities and end up missing out on great opportunities.

But some people seem to have found a life-saving straw. As long as there is an opportunity, they will recommend themselves wholeheartedly, and even climb up!

"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Yang Yu. I am an amateur animation enthusiast. I made a short film myself. Can you give me some advice?"

Yang language?

Chen Fei stopped again and saw a young man wearing a striped shirt with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes looking at him expectantly.

"It always feels familiar?"

Chen Fei couldn't remember for a while. He seemed to have seen the young man in front of him somewhere before, but he still nodded and chuckled: "Of course, what's the name of your short film? Is it convenient to watch it now?"

"Convenient! Very convenient! Its name is: "Hit, hit a big watermelon"!"
