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

Chapter 486 Bringing capital into the group? I want to eat shit! Matthew McConaughey? Thank you, Mr. Han, for not killing me!

When he received the invitation call from Fan Bingbing, Chen Fei had already successfully landed in New York.

"Gravity" is doing well at the box office. In order to hit higher results, it is natural that the promotion in North America cannot be left behind.

"Eat? I'm in New York now. Let's talk about it after I get back..."

Chen Fei dismissed her in a few words.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

For the role of 'Shirley Yang', countless people have called him and Ning Hao recently. Some even said that they can bring money into the group, and the conditions and requirements are whatever they want.

Chen Fei refused unceremoniously.

I really want to eat my shit!
Are you still bringing money into the group?
I don’t know how many people out there want to invest but have no chance. How do you have the nerve to fart like this?

On the other side, Fan Bingbing looked down at the hung up phone and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She is a smart person, and you can tell from Chen Fei's tone and attitude that the role of 'Shirley Yang' will not fall to her at all.

It's actually quite normal when you think about it. After all, this is an IP project worth tens of billions, and people will definitely leave it to those around them first.

Even if Liu Yifei is definitely not going to star, there are so many actresses lining up in the Feiyinghuang agency, so how can she possibly get her turn?

After thinking about this, she was no longer interested in looking for connections, but instead set her sights on another project.

As the filming of "Painted Wall" and "Four Famous Catchers" have started one after another, the light is gradually emerging in the industry!

No, recently Changying and Enlight have jointly invested in a movie called "Tongque Terrace".

Although the director 'Zhao Linshan' is not well-known, I heard that the production team used Zhang Yimou's team, and the script is also quite good.

According to the information obtained by Fan Bingbing, the story mainly tells about Cao Cao's love and his struggle against anti-Cao forces in his twilight years.

Since it is mainly about the love line, the female lead's role will definitely be quite eye-catching.

And this is considered the top film project in China. It is controlled by Changying Film Studio, co-produced by Enlight, and has an investment of more than 100 million!
This kind of project is extremely rare even if you look at the entire film industry.

Guangguang doesn't have a leading lady, so the heroine must be found from outside, and most of the other first-line actresses have filming appointments...

"Isn't this a role tailor-made for me?"

The more Fan Bingbing thought about it, the more he felt that this role was a perfect fit for him, and he immediately began to pursue various roles.

Long Shadow and Light are not hiding this project.

When making a movie, maintaining popularity is the key.

The hotter the news is, the higher the box office will be.

With the cooperation of many parties, the media immediately distributed the press release.

"Following "Warring States", "Guan Yunchang", "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" and "The King's Feast", another historical blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions has entered the preparation period."

"The female lead 'Ling Ju' is currently waiting for the role, and the male lead has been confirmed to be 'Chow Yun-fat'."

"It is reported that Su Youpeng will play the role of 'Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty'."

"According to the crew, the film's art director Taneda Yanghei has hand-drawn magnificent scenes such as Xudu, Yecheng, Tongquetai, the Imperial Palace, Cao Cao's Palace, and the Cave of the Dead. Many large scenes will be constructed in real locations at a huge cost. "

"Historical blockbusters must ultimately rely on domestic directors to support them..."

Once the news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of female celebrities in the industry.

Especially those actresses who had no suitable projects on hand for the time being, all of them started to take action and began to inquire about the specific situation.

Naturally, a 'model worker' like Yang Mi is no exception.

Even though she was on the set of "Search", she still called Zeng Jia as soon as she saw the news.

"Have you seen it? "Tongque Terrace"! The project has been approved!"

"Ah? I saw it, but what does this have to do with us? You already have "Famous 2" and "Search"!"

There was a hint of impatience in Yang Mi's tone: "That is a historical blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million. How can it be compared to the first two? You quickly submit my resume and I will talk to Mr. Wang."

"But, Brother Chen Kai..."

Zeng Jia felt a little tangled in her heart. After all, Chen Hong had made it clear that no actors were allowed to interfere with the scene.

They have gone too far now. If they continue to engage in other projects, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.

"It's just the second female lead role." Yang Mi said in an indifferent tone: "Just help me try my best to get it. Don't think too much."

"Okay, then I'll send in my resume first."

Zeng Jia finally agreed.

……

The promotion here in North America is going extremely well.

Although Andy Lau is not well-known in Hollywood, who asked him to follow "The Dragon" Chen Fei.

Although they won’t go sideways, no one will dare to cause trouble!
After another event, he said with emotion on his face: "I have come here to promote movies before and suffered a lot of discrimination. I didn't expect that this time I would be in such a situation."

Chen Fei smiled: "When a person's identity and status reach a certain level, nationality, skin color, and accent are not problems."

Michael Jackson is the best example.

"That's true." Liu Dehua responded in agreement.

During his stay in North America, in addition to participating in various promotional activities arranged by the distributor, Chen Fei also took the time to pay attention to the film projects of several companies.

Media Asia's "Storm 2" has started filming, and the original cast has taken over to make the sequel, which has received very good response from fans.

"Silver Linings Playbook" directed by Woody Allen and starring Jennifer Lawrence has also been completed.

After the post-production period is over, the film will be immediately sent to major film festivals for the final sprint, aiming directly at the Oscars!

After the end of the "War for the Planet of the Apes" series, Catherine took over as the director of "Now You See Me".

The film is now officially announced to have been completed, and is undergoing post-production editing and soundtrack work.

News also came from Neon that "My Accidental Dad" has officially finished filming and has also entered post-editing.

The most important project of this year, "Avengers", has completed all post-production work at this time.

Kevin Feige is already contacting theaters to discuss the number of theaters to open and publicity resources.

Following the success of the three movies "Iron Man", "Thor" and "Captain America", the outside world has shown high expectations for this "superhero combination".

In addition, Chen Fei took the time to contact many actors and prepare for the next "Interstellar".

Liu Yifei has been confirmed to play the heroine, who is a "Doctor of Biotechnology".

The heroine's father, the "head of the NASA base", will be guest-starred by Chen Longlai.

As for "Adult Murphy", the daughter of "hero Cooper", she will be played by Anne Hathaway.

Chen Fei was originally planning to invite Leonardo DiCaprio to play the leading actor Cooper, but now this guy is determined to win the Oscar and has already devoted himself to the filming of "The Great Gatsby".

Then he went to Matt Damon.

But unfortunately, because he just won the Oscar statuette two years ago, his film schedule is already full.

"I can guest star as Cooper's son, the role of 'Adult Tom', but you have to invite someone else to play the male lead. My schedule completely overlaps with your movie."

Although Matt Damon also liked this role very much, he couldn't break his promise, so he had no choice but to refuse.

Chen Fei asked further: "Do you have any suitable candidates you can recommend to me?"

Leonardo DiCaprio recommended Matt Damon to star in "The Hunt". The male protagonist he played was very good. Not only did he help the film win the Golden Lion, but he also won him an Oscar statuette.

Therefore, Chen Fei decided to copy the previous process.

He wasn't interested in the factionalism of Hollywood; what he needed was the right actor.

That's it.

"Tom..." Matt Damon almost blurted out a name, but suddenly stopped when he reached his mouth.

After a moment of silence, he tentatively asked: "Fei, have you heard of Matthew McConaughey?"

""The Brave One", "Tropic Thunder", "The Great Surfer"..."

Chen Fei blurted out several movie titles like a treasure trove.

Matthew McConaughey is naturally also on the list of backup candidates for the male lead in "Interstellar". After all, according to the original timeline, the role of Cooper was originally played by him. The key reason why Chen Fei didn't go to him immediately was because he didn't have any box office hits.

After all, "Interstellar" is a commercial film, and Chen Fei still wanted a male protagonist who could compete with the box office, which is why he immediately turned to DiCaprio.

But, if there is no suitable actor, Matthew McConaughey will naturally become the first choice.

"Matt, what is the reason for your recommendation?" Chen Fei asked curiously.

"Acting!"

Matt Damon said decisively: "His acting skills are very good. No matter what kind of role you need, he can perfectly present it, but he lacks a suitable opportunity..."

This is true both in Hollywood and in mainland China.

There are a lot of acting talents, but very few can truly become famous.

Opportunities are not only reserved for those who are prepared, but also for those who have connections and connections.

No matter how bad their acting is, those "second-generation stars" can still get the top resources in the industry, but those veteran actors sometimes can't even get a supporting role.

The most representative one is that Nicholas Tse defeated Tony Leung Jiahui and Zhang Jiahui to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. This is even more outrageous than "Shakespeare in Love" defeating "Saving Private Ryan"!
Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Give me his contact information. I will audition in person next time I come to Los Angeles."

"it is good!"

Matt Damon nodded quickly and was very excited that his friend could get an audition opportunity.

And when he informed Matthew McConaughey of the good news, there was a burst of disbelieving cheers from the other side!
"Matthew, there is only so much I can do for you. You need to prepare in advance. This audition is crucial."

"I will! Matt, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

On the other side of the phone, Matthew McConaughey nodded repeatedly, unable to suppress the joy and excitement in his heart!
……

After the promotional activities in North America ended, the box office of "Gravity" once again received a wave of bonuses, successfully surpassing the US$2.13 million of "Mulan".

Next is "Zodiac", which temporarily ranks first in the overseas box office rankings with US$2.6 million.

Chen Fei was not worried, because it was only a matter of time before he could surpass it.

When returning to China, Liu Dehua did not take the same plane with him, but chose the flight to Xiangjiang.

"I have already begun preparations for my new movie project. I am not trying to catch up with "Gravity", but I just hope that I can beat the curse of being unable to achieve high box office for movies starring me."

new project?
Chen Fei looked at him curiously: "What's your name?"

""Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"." Liu Dehua emphasized: "It is a 3D treasure-hunting action blockbuster with a very luxurious cast!"

"..."

Chen Fei immediately fell silent.

Break the curse?

I am afraid that this wish will not be realized, and moreover, I will be trapped in a curse and be unable to extricate myself...

He couldn't persuade Andy Lau not to take the film because the investment amount was as high as 2.2 million, but no actor could refuse.

"I wish you success." Chen Fei congratulated him with complicated emotions.

"Most definitely!"

Liu Dehua is full of confidence.

After returning to China, as expected, the Internet was full of news about the project of "Tianji·Fuchun Mountain Residence".

The cast is truly magnificent!

Directed by Sun Jianjun, starring Liu Dehua, Lin Chiling, Zhang Jingchu, Tong Dawei, Si Qinggaowa...

With such a luxurious cast, combined with the high investment of 2.2 million, the movie has not even started shooting, and people on the Internet are already guessing how high the box office will be.

Feng Xiaogang's "The Great Earthquake" was pulled out and whipped to death again.

"It will definitely be no problem if it exceeds 7 million!"

"I think we can reach 10 billion!"

"Wazai is so handsome, Zhiling is so beautiful, I love her so much..."

There are many people on the Internet talking about attacking "Gravity", but such posts were suppressed as soon as they appeared.

"Earthquake" and "Painted Skin 2" are already exaggerated, but "Gravity" is just looking for abuse!
Except for Zhang Weiping, who is shameless and shameless, who else has that qualification?
Chen Fei originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he never expected that Han Sanping would come to his door!
"Director Han, Feiyue Pictures' next plan is to produce the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. We really don't have any extra energy to participate in other movies."

Chen Fei first put on a layer of armor for himself to prevent him from being kidnapped.

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "That's it, okay then. I still thought I would finally have an opportunity to make money, so I'll share it with you."

"Thank you for still thinking of me, no need..." Chen Fei declined quickly.

"Actually, I have one more thing to do here today." Han Sanping said with some embarrassment: "Page wants to find a foreign special effects company to do the post-production of this movie. After all, China Film is not the main investor, and I can't force them to do it. Leave the post-production to DotKey Digital.”

Speaking of this matter, Han Sanping was inexplicably embarrassed.

Feiyue Film and Television has been making money with China Film Group, but it cannot give equal returns, which is quite embarrassing when I think about it.

"Haha, it's okay. It just so happens that our business here is quite busy and we can't take on too many projects."

Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that life was so lucky.

Such a big pit was actually avoided. This is God blessing him!

Thank you, Mr. Han, for not killing me!

"By the way, when is the project of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" going to start? You should hurry up and book the actors. There are so many people asking for news during this period that I can hardly bear it anymore."

Chen Fei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is the second generation of Stars so powerful?

"It will definitely be confirmed by the end of November at the latest."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you and let's go first." Han Sanping said casually as she walked out: "Remember to pay attention to "33 Days of Love", this movie also has your investment."

"it is good."

Chen Fei responded, and after sending Han Sanping away, he went online to read various recent hot news.

"The domestic box office of "Gravity" has successfully surpassed "The Road to Love" and is soaring towards "Inception"."

"The competition for the female lead in "Tongque Terrace" is extremely fierce. Fan Bingbing has appeared downstairs in the Guangguang Building many times and is suspected of playing the role of 'Ling Ju'."

""Painted Wall" is about to be released. Deng Chao and Sun Li frequently show off their affection in front of the media. It is predicted that the box office will exceed 3 million."

"Following the great success of "Palace Locked Heart Jade" and "Step by Step Jingxin", the costume palace TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" produced by Feiyue Film and Television Company, directed by Zheng Xiaolong, starring Sun Li, Chen Jianbin, Cai Shaofen and others will be released on November 11 It will premiere on Mango TV, Anhui TV and Dragon TV on the 17th.”

""Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Ziyi recently officially announced that it has completed the casting of all actors. Zhou Dongyu, the girl who wanted to be the girl, was defeated by Wang Yijin, a sophomore girl from Nortel..."

Chen Fei was slightly startled when he saw the last piece of news.

"Wang Yijin?"

He whispered to himself, unable to help but fall into memories.

It soon dawned on him.

No wonder Zhou Dongyu failed!
This person is a real connection person, and he is also a very hard one!

"How wonderful!"

He couldn't help sighing, then turned around and left all these 'hot news' behind.

To eat melon is to enjoy the moment, just take one bite. He is not one of those weird entertainment reporters who runs around chasing various entertainment news every day.

Turning off the computer, he went straight to the studio at the Beijing Film Studio.

The scenes in the tomb where the ghost blows out the lantern were all shot in a studio, while the exterior scenes had to be shot all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

In order to perfectly present the scene inside the tomb, the crew has rented the largest 5000-square-meter studio in the China Film Digital Production Base.

In the early preparations, hundreds of millions of dollars were spent just setting up the scene!

Moreover, the movie has a very large amount of special effects, and it is also presented in 3D, so every aspect has to be improved.

Of course, all of this is very necessary in order for the final image on the screen to be shocking enough.

Chen Fei has only one goal, and strives to create a quality that far exceeds that of contemporary Chinese 3D movies!
In addition, the selection of actors is also crucial. The busy period has passed, and now it is time to officially start the casting process.
