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

Chapter 579: Hollywood billionaires while the ban is in progress? The rhythm was suddenly distorted!

On the day "Dallas Buyers Club" was released in North America, all employees of Volton Pictures went to a theater near the company to watch the movie in a reserved area.

Natasha and Bruce were responsible for leading the team, while Chen Fei stayed alone in the company.

During these few hours in the office, he was not idle, but made more than ten phone calls in succession.

Su Guohai, Huo Qigang, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning, Ning Hao, Yang Shoucheng...

It took him three full hours to arrange all the matters related to "blocking Lu Chuan", and then he turned off his cell phone and locked it in the cabinet.

Afterwards, he left the company with another personal mobile phone and went to a nearby theater to buy a ticket for "Django Unchained" and watched it leisurely.

At this time, domestic media had already conducted a series of reports on Lu Chuan's essay.

"The well-known director Lu Chuan directly attacked theaters and film producers with similar schedules as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City", claiming that the first two deliberately cut down their film schedules and asked trolls to smear "The King's Feast" in order to seize the market. the goal of……"

As soon as the report appeared, it immediately triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

However, before the fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" could fight back, Ning Hao took the lead and also published a short essay online:

"A certain person is really funny. His movie is poorly made and box-office is poor. He doesn't want to find the reason from himself, but he goes around trying to confuse people. Why don't he have some shame?

You didn’t listen to a word of what the netizens said, right? You haven't even thought about whether "The King's Feast" is worth the ticket price, right?
"Kekexili" plagiarized, "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "The butt is not straight, and the plot of "The King's Feast" is a mess. Don't these prove the fact that your directing skills are terrible?

You keep yelling all day long and have no skills at all. I'm just wondering, how do people like you get investment?
You lose money on every movie, you have to jump out and scream every time, and you lose every box office battle. How can you be a director? Take a shower and go to sleep! "

This wave of rebuttal was so popular that Lu Chuan was immediately trashed!

Ning Hao was not polite at all. The main character was to destroy Lu Chuan. Not only did he pull out all his previous defeats and whip him severely, but he also sarcastically, despised, and ridiculed the one-stop service, torturing him. To the death!

At this moment, not only the netizens became excited, but also the people in the circle were excited and found it difficult to control themselves.

"This is about to start a war!"

"Damn it, what are you waiting for? Stand in support, like and retweet!"

"No, I'm a little confused. Where are we standing?"

"Brother? Are you confused because of the fever? The situation is so clear, do you still need to ask?"

"Down with Riku Taro! Give the film industry a bright future!"

Led by artists under Feiyinghuang Agency, many producers, countless artists, directors, etc. in the industry have chosen to support.

Jiang Wen even moved these words to his personal Weibo account intact, with the text: "Well done!"

At first, everyone thought that this was probably just a wave of scolding that spread on the Internet, and it would not take long for it to calm down.

Not only netizens, but also many celebrities in the industry have the same idea.

But soon, the development of things shocked everyone unexpectedly!

That night, a number of cinemas, including Pan Asia, Wanda, New Film Alliance, and Shanghai Film Group, directly withdrew "The King's Feast" from its release.

Ying Huang even announced: "From now on, Ying Huang will no longer participate in the investment and distribution of any films related to Lu Chuan."

At the same time, Weibo directly banned Lu Chuan’s Weibo account for reasons such as “disturbing the order of the Internet and deliberately hyping up”.

Tieba, Douban, Maoyan and other platforms responded one after another, banning or deleting all account information and video-related content about Lu Chuan, leaving no one behind!
Xingmei did not say anything, but quietly removed "The King's Feast" from the shelves.

For a movie that is destined to lose money, what is the point of keeping it and occupying the schedule?
Although Mr. Jia, who had been deceived three times, did not say anything out of concern for his face, he silently liked Ning Hao and Yinghuang's Weibo posts and vowed never to meet Lu Chuan again in the future.

He was really worried that he wouldn't be able to help but chop that idiot to death!
……

The sky is bright and a new day has arrived.

For those outside the film and television industry, this is just an ordinary day of eating melon.

But for those in the industry, it’s obvious that things are going to change today!
When I woke up one night, "The King's Feast" and Lu Chuan were gone!
Chen Fei had no intention of hiding it, so everyone just made some inquiries and discovered that Lu Tailang seemed to have been... banned? !

"Why? Why do you want to release my movie? I do all this for the box office of the movie! Just like the producer, I get a share of the money from the box office! I did create a lot of hype, but that's not all For the box office?”

In his personal studio, Lu Chuan was furious at his secretary, looking hysterical like a clown.

The movie was released, Weibo was banned, and all major platforms directly deleted all news about him...

At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that he was blocked by the entire network!

The secretary standing at the door lowered his head and complained in his heart: "What kind of idiot boss am I following? With an investment of 1.4 million, the box office is only 1.1 million, and there are only 4 days left in the release period!"
Do you still split the accounts with the box office? You divide it! It’s enough to sell my underpants without paying any compensation this time..."

The secretary was cursing in his mind when a burst of sobs suddenly came from his ears.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw Lu Chuan's eyes were red, tears welling up in his eyes and falling to the ground along his cheeks.

Before she could react, Lu Chuan had already made a call: "Hey, Dad, they... Biliu... they bully me!!! Wuwuwu..."

secretary:"……"

That afternoon, as expected, Father Lu took action.

He first posted a short essay on his personal Weibo account, the content of which was straightforward:
"What a shameless act it is to hire trolls to smear a movie of the same period. Now, in order to suppress opponents, they are even using personal connections to force the film to be released to achieve ulterior motives. It is extremely shameless and fair. People’s hearts, we will fight to the end!”

The slogan that Father Lu shouted was quite touching, but what was embarrassing was that the only people who supported him were three or two kittens, and the previous state of "commanding the crowd" was completely gone.

A "new literary and artistic film recovery" plan directly allowed Chen Fei to win over at least two-thirds of the literary and artistic film directors in the industry.

The world is bustling, and everyone is going there for the benefit of others.

Who doesn’t want their artistic film to be a box office hit?
Even if you can't sell it well, you still have to earn back the cost, so that you can continue to dream.

But now, Chen Fei has given them such an opportunity. As long as they are not a particularly stubborn idiot, they will never give up this opportunity to make money and invest.

Therefore, the game of "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron" was set up.

When Father Lu called his old friends and classmates as usual, all he heard were excuses and perfunctory responses.

This time, even Nortel remained silent instead of intervening.

Lu Chuan returned to school and cried hard in front of his old teacher, receiving a lot of sympathy and pity.

Unfortunately, after a lot of work, they couldn't even contact Chen Fei, the man behind the scenes, let alone eliminate the online public opinion about Lu Chuan and re-release "The King's Feast".

This time, Lu Chuan stepped into the "death formation", and there was no life for ten!

……

"Seal it well! Kill it well! That's how it should be done!"

Jiang Wen got Chen Fei's personal mobile phone number from Han Sanping and called him in the middle of the night. It was very exciting.

Although Chen Fei is paying attention to the news on the Internet, he has not received news from the circle yet.

Just when Jiang Wen called, he asked, "How's it going? Do you think I can do this?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Jiang Wen was very sure: "There are actually a few old immortals behind Lu Chuan who have mostly been buried in the ground. Apart from a little face, they have no energy at all.

What's more, you don't participate in the selection of any domestic awards, so you don't need to be afraid of them at all. If someone says peace, just ignore it.

The only trouble is that it may be difficult for all the artistic films produced by your company in the future to win important awards such as the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao, and Magic City International Film Festival. "

"Hahaha!" Chen Fei suddenly became happy: "I don't even care to go there. Each one of them specializes in behind-the-scenes operations. It's almost invisible."

The two literary films invested by the company this year, "Into the Dust" and "The Chaser," both participated in the Berlin Film Festival and were not submitted for any mainland awards at all.

To be honest, Chen Fei no longer looks down on these film festivals in the Mainland.

While we were chatting, he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "Director Jiang, are you interested in working with me to create an award similar to the Golden Broomstick?"

"Oh?" Jiang Wen suddenly became interested: "Selecting a bad movie? Then I will vote for "The King's Feast" first." "No." Chen Fei first rejected his guess, and then introduced in more detail: "Let's do it This is a large-scale award ceremony similar to the Oscars. No matter it is a commercial film or a literary film, all comers are welcome, and selections are made in a fair, impartial and open manner..."

The two of them suddenly couldn't hold back their conversation.

Before I knew it, it was gone in more than an hour.

If it weren't for Zhou Yun's reminder on the other end of the phone, Jiang Wen would have had to stay up all night to finalize this matter!

At the end of the conversation, he reluctantly said: "When you return to China, let's meet and discuss this matter in detail. I feel there is a lot to be done!"

"OK."

Chen Fei happily agreed, thinking to himself that he would definitely call Jiang Wen to be the judge when the time comes. It would definitely be fun to watch!
"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and the office door handle was turned open.

As soon as Chen Fei raised his head, he saw Natasha walking in, her face looking a little off, as if she had encountered some trouble.
He couldn't help but be curious: "What happened?"

Natasha said nothing, just handed him a stack of newspapers.

At the top are box office numbers for "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Django Unchained."

The former was US$1642 million on the first day, and the latter was US$1501 million, a difference of only one million.

Chen Fei didn't have much thought about this data. Although "Dallas Buyers Club" included Matthew McConaughey, the latter had Leonardo DiCaprio joining the cast, and it had strong box office appeal!
What's more, he doesn't have high expectations for the box office of this movie. As long as he can make back his money, his main goal is to win the Oscar.

Putting the newspaper aside casually, Chen Fei picked up the second magazine.

Looking around, there is a picture of him on the cover of the magazine!

In the background is a new Rolls-Royce. He is standing in front of the car, wearing designer clothes and jewelry, looking like a successful man.

There is also a line of character slogans at the top of the cover - [Chinese director? Hollywood billionaire? One of the people at the helm of Walt Ton Films? Today, please follow People Magazine for an in-depth explanation of the achievements of this Chinese director. 】

Chen Fei's brows trembled, and he had a bad premonition for no reason.

Opening the magazine, the first page is information about him, which lists his income and most of his assets.

[Commercial endorsement: US$100 million.

Director fee share: at least $10 billion.

Volton Pictures’ individual stock value: starting at $200 billion.

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Miami resorts, private resort islands in the Maldives, etc.: valued at US$3.8 million.

His personal awards include Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Animated Feature Film, Best Foreign Language Film, Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award, Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award, Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or...]

After some analysis, the final conclusion is that Chen Fei's current net worth has soared to more than 300 billion US dollars, or even more!

In terms of personal honors and achievements, no one can match him.

However, after reading this article, the first thought that came to Chen Fei's mind was: "Madeh? This horse-riding simply looks down on labor? 300 billion U.S. dollars? Adding zero is still enough... …”

Just as he was thinking about it, Natasha's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Now the outside world is praising you for your great success and for being a winner in life, far surpassing everyone in Hollywood..."

Chen Fei's right eyelid suddenly trembled, and a word came out of his heart.

"Praise for killing?"

Jingle Bell……

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Natasha's next words.

Chen Fei glanced at the caller ID and pressed the connect button.

The next second, Leonardo's loud voice rang in the receiver: "Fei! You actually hide it so deeply! With a net worth of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars and so many awards, it's so enviable... "

After mumbling a few words, Chen Fei hung up the phone and pressed the power off button.

The word "show off" has always been associated with words such as "high-profile", "proud", and "pretentious".

"People" magazine did this, although it improved Chen Fei's style, it broke his long-standing character of being humble, polite and open-minded to learn.

This will not do him any favors in his bid for the upcoming Best Director Oscar.

The judges would inevitably become jealous after seeing the magazine and refuse to vote for him.

You are so successful, just give the opportunity to others...

"This is aimed at the Oscar for Best Director!"

Chen Fei murmured, already having some guesses in his mind.

"Yes!" Natasha responded and said aloud: "I have investigated in advance. Someone under the banner of Walton Pictures has sent an invitation to People magazine."

"Can you find out who it is?"

Natasha shook her head and simply said: "There is no need to check, the goal is very clear, except for "Django Unchained" and "Life of Pi", no one else will do this."

"Haha, "Escape from Tehran" was scrapped, and "Django Unchained" was selected again? This Harvey is really persistent."

Natasha frowned: "Now we are in big trouble. You have good looks, a good figure, abilities, wisdom, wealth, awards, as well as huge fame and box office appeal. All the good things have been lost to you." It’s unfair.”

"This is the fact." Chen Fei shrugged: "How can there be true fairness in this world?"

"But this will cause the judges who were originally leaning towards you to quickly stay away from you!"

"It's very simple." Chen Fei grinned. In addition to the fierce fighting spirit in his eyes, there was also excitement for the next counterattack.

"Since they want to flatter me, I will just follow their ideas."

Natasha's face was full of confusion, she didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

The next second, Chen Fei added: "If I get better, then they will be completely rotten. Let's not compete with them, but just crush them!"

After the words fell, he directly ordered: "Contact Amy Nolte for me. I need her to make some news and completely turn this Oscars upside down!"

……

……

Qian Province, AS City, Hongya Landform, the crew of "The Martian".

As the last scene was filmed and after checking that everything was correct, Guo Fan raised the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "I announce that "The Martian" has officially wrapped up filming and closed the filming. Let's go home!"

For this science fiction blockbuster with an investment of up to 7 million, the media's attention has never been lost.

Not long after the crew announced that filming had been completed, media reports and Weibo hot searches started popping up, and the popularity was as high as ever!
A final photo taken a long time ago was posted on the official blog of "The Martian".

In the picture, Chen Fei is standing in the middle of the crowd. On his left is Guo Fan, on his right is Liu Yifei, and further to the right is Zhao Liying with a bright smile.

The two girls raised their right hands together and made a scissor hand gesture, which looked quite sweet and peaceful.

All the starring teams chose to repost this photo to celebrate the official completion of the movie.

Looking at the increasing number of likes and comments on her new Weibo post, Zhao Liying smiled extremely happily. At the same time, she was secretly looking forward to it, not knowing what kind of roles and scenes the company would arrange for her next.

But soon, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her comments on Weibo.

Words such as "only worthy of supporting role", "eternal second female lead", "too popular", "stiff acting", "not good enough in appearance", "cannot handle the ratings and box office" are constantly emerging.

The rhythm of the comment area seems to have been forcibly distorted by some malicious people!
