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

Chapter 600 Wow! You look like a domineering boss!

On the day he was discharged from the Mayo Clinic and returned to China, as soon as he landed at the Capital Airport, Chen Fei saw a large number of fans waiting for him.

Fortunately, this group of people did not sing "See You Again" to him outside the hospital like the fans in North America.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I'm fine now. Don't worry, go home and be safe..."

It took more than half an hour for Chen Fei to squeeze out of the airport and get into the car sent by the company to pick him up.

The moment he drove onto the Third Ring Road, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so fucking scary when these fans get crazy. They want to block him at the airport and eat him alive!

"You are so popular." Liu Yifei said with some emotion. As a director, it is unique for her to have such strong support.

Fade Chen turned his head to look at her: "Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you first."

Liu Yifei didn't bother to be polite and replied, "I'm going to Xunjie's studio. They're casting for Dear, so I have to go take a look."

"Then let's go together. I might as well go over and take a look."

There has been quite a bit of commotion in the mainland film and television circles recently.

In addition to the news that the top male and female star of Tangren are suspected to be leaving, and Cai Yinong lost the lawsuit, Feng Dapao also popped up again.

Huayi and Feng Xiaogang jointly held a launch conference for "Private Tailor".

Perhaps because he has received so much praise and commendation in the past few months, Feng Xiaogang actually changed his usual arrogance and became a bit more humble at the launch conference.

"I am truly sorry that last year's 1942 made many viewers feel upset. This was my mistake and I will definitely correct it.

This year’s Lunar New Year holiday, everyone should look forward to “Personal Tailor”, which is definitely a masterpiece full of sincerity, and also a masterpiece full of jokes and laughter…”

As the "founder of the Lunar New Year box office" and the pioneer of "Feng-style comedy", Feng Xiaogang's words are still very trustworthy.

Let’s not talk about the content of the film for now, the cast alone is so luxurious!
Ge Da Ye, Bai Baihe, Li Xiaolu, Zheng Kai, Fan Wei, Song Dandan, Li Chengru...

Looking at the cast list announced on Weibo, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh: "This Feng Dapao is going to have a big one!"

Liu Yifei listened to what he said and couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "What are you talking about? So disgusting!"

"Hey? You called me disgusting?"

Chen Fei turned his head, his expression slightly surprised.

Without waiting for Liu Yifei to speak, he directly pulled down the partition separating her from the front row, and approached with a wicked smile: "Come on, give me a mouth, I'll show you whether I'm disgusting or not."

After more than half an hour, the car arrived downstairs of Zhou Xun's studio.

Liu Yifei first put on some lipstick on herself, then took out a wet tissue to wipe the lipstick marks on Chen Fei's mouth and neck, straightened her clothes, and then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The delicate and lovely little girl sitting in the car, the moment she opened the door, directly transformed into a top producer in the circle.

The aura is awesome!
Chen Fei walked silently beside her. For some reason, he had the illusion that he was a bodyguard? !

"Director Chen? Yifei?"

As soon as they reached the entrance of their workplace, they ran into Zhang Ziyi who was walking out.

"Sister Ziyi." Liu Yifei greeted her gracefully, "Are you here for the audition?"

"Yeah, it just ended. What a shame I wasn't chosen."

Even though she was rejected, there was no expression of disappointment on Zhang Ziyi's face.

Things are different now. Her era has gradually passed. No matter how unwilling she is, she has to accept her fate.

She was smart enough not to talk too much about the topic of "audition". After asking about Chen Fei's physical condition and other related matters, she said goodbye and left.

In the elevator, Liu Yifei suddenly sighed: "It seems that the older female stars get, the bleaker their careers become, unlike male actors, who become more popular as they get older."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement: "As my acting range narrows, this situation will naturally occur. This is also one of the reasons why I want you to get familiar with the role of producer."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious.

Liu Yifei was touched when she heard this. She knew that Chen Fei was paving the way for her future.

She blurted out almost subconsciously: "Why are you so nice to me?"

Because of the height difference, Liu Yifei was looking up at Chen Fei at this moment. At that moment, there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes, and many beautiful memories seemed to emerge in her mind.

Chen Fei leaned forward slightly and touched her lips lightly: "Because you are mine, shouldn't I treat you well?"

Liu Yifei held her hands in front of her chest and made an admiring expression: "Wow! You look like a domineering CEO!"

"Haha, how about it, do you like it?"

"Hehe, I like it."

……

After exiting the elevator, under the guidance of Liu Yifei, Chen Fei followed her to the door of Zhou Xun's studio with ease.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Huang Bo's laughter echoing in the studio.

In recent months, if we were to ask which actor has been the most prominent in the circle, it would have to be Huang Bo!

Starting from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", to "The 101st Marriage Proposal", and the upcoming "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel".

Looking around, all of them are high-quality works.

At this stage, there is no actor more successful than him in the entire film and television industry.

Before him was Liu Ye who participated in "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

This shows how much benefit a top-notch box office hit can bring to an actor!
Perhaps because of his recent fame and popularity, even though he was just an actor from a vocational high school, the Beijing Film Academy still sent him an invitation letter, wanting him to be one of the judges for the final exam.

Huang Bo naturally would not miss such an opportunity to increase his reputation.

On the day of returning to school, the atmosphere was so warm and exciting!
Even though Chen Fei was in North America, he saw the news reported online. Among ten art exam candidates, nine and a half were asking him for autographs and taking photos with him, just like his little fans.

"Brother Bo, you are smiling so happily, did you win the prize?"

"Oh shit!"

The moment Huang Bo saw Chen Fei, he was completely stunned. It took him a long time to react.

"You... why did you come back? Are you feeling better?"

Although he had never been shot, Huang Bo had some understanding of it.

Logically speaking, a gunshot wound shouldn't take only half a month to heal. Isn't this too fast?
Fade Chen walked up to him and hugged him: "It's just a minor gunshot wound. With my physical condition, I will recover in a few days."

Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, secretly shocked: "What a fucking inhuman!"

Zhou Xun also came over at this time, stretched out his fingers and gently poked Chen Fei's waist and abdomen: "What does it feel like to be shot? Does it hurt?"

Seeing her expectant expression, Fade Chen was speechless: "Why? You still want to experience it? How about I take you abroad to try it?"

Zhou Xun waved his hands quickly: "Haha, I'm kidding, I'm not going."

The four of them quickly walked into Zhou Xun's office. After chatting for a while, Chen Fei found out that Huang Bo was also here for an audition, and he passed the audition with his superb acting skills!
"Well, I thought you were having fun."

"Hehe, I have officially entered the art film industry. I can even act with Sister Xun. I am so lucky!"

Huang Bo is also well-known in the circle for having the lowest EQ. He can make everyone laugh with just a few words, and the atmosphere in the office is very good.

The only pity is that he has had a "display screen" with the worst resolution since he was a child, which held him back a lot in his early development.

Before leaving, Fade Chen asked again, "Who has the director decided on?"

Zhou Xun replied: "I have contacted Shen Ao in advance, who just won the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. He just happens to have a free schedule later."

"Well, OK." Chen Fei nodded and looked at Huang Bo: "When the time comes, you can be an assistant director and help out. Make this film a good one and try to win a few awards."

"Okay, no problem, just watch out for me!"

Huang Bo patted his chest and agreed confidently.

……

After returning to the company, Chen Fei first went to Dianjing Digital. Ever since the filming of The Martian was finished, Guo Fan had plunged into the special effects department, working on the post-production without sleep or food.

Now that three months have passed, there have been some notable results.

Although his eyes were full of dark circles, his mental state was very good. He patted his chest and promised solemnly: "The post-production will be finished in two months. I promise you that this movie will definitely be released in theaters this year."

"Okay, don't worry, take your time." Fade Chen patted his shoulder and reminded him, "You should also take a proper rest. The work cannot be completed in one or two days. There is no need to work so hard."

"Hehe." Guo Fan scratched his head with a silly smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm a very tough guy, and my main feature is toughness!"

"OK."

After caring about the status of the employees in the special effects department, Chen Fei went to the animation department.

The production of "Big Fish and Begonia" has just passed the halfway point, and the efficiency is not very high.

There is a big difference between the production of animated films and the shooting of live-action films. The former is at least twice as difficult as the latter!
Yang Yu gave an estimate: "The production may not be officially completed until the end of the year."

Chen Fei said casually: "It's okay, no rush. We are making a movie, not screwing screws. What we pursue is quality, not efficiency."

After leaving the animation department, he went to the screenwriting department.

Two successfully finalized scripts were placed before him.

"The Journey of Flower and Day and Night are both adapted from novels, and both received extremely high scores in the internal evaluation of the screenwriting department..."

As the manager of the screenwriting department, Ni Xuelin personally introduced the specific contents of the two scripts to Chen Fei.

On the side, the screenwriters of the two scripts would occasionally add to the story, expressing their understanding and feelings about the scripts.

An hour later, Fade Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, go and submit it for review. By the way, send the two scripts I mailed to you earlier to the Film Bureau. I will be personally responsible for "The Burning Sun"."

"Okay, Brother Fei."

Ni Xuelin responded and immediately arranged for someone to do the job.

At the same time, the news of Chen Fei's return to China had been spread by the media, once again sparking heated discussions in the circle.

Especially on Weibo, fans who got the news were so excited.

"Fuck! He's alive! He's really alive!"

"Hahaha, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."

"That's amazing. He was able to recover in such a short time after being shot. His physical fitness is simply amazing!"

"So, is Director Chen going to release a new work?"

"I have to say, Interstellar is really good. Although the running time is a bit longer, the content is absolutely great!"

It is now mid-to-late March, and there are only a few movies currently in theaters.

Among domestic films, "Love in Seattle" and "Into the Dust" both blossomed!
Among imported films, "Interstellar" directed by Chen Fei is still the leading box office and is heading towards 10 billion.

Following closely behind is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" produced by Warner.

Although "Resident Evil 5" starring Li Bingbin was also released at this time, its box office performance was not very good.

That is, after the box office reached 2247 million on the first day, it dropped to 915 million on the third day, with no upward trend at all.

In the Douban comments section, many people only gave it six or seven points:
"I feel that the plot of the fifth part is not as good as the previous ones. It was bland and there was no obvious climax. It was a bit disappointing."

"The name "Punishment" is too general, and the plot is a bit messy. It feels like the plot is just being made up. Although the heroine escaped from the laboratory, she was injected with the T virus again after getting rid of it with great difficulty. It's really depressing."

"The zombies appeared for a short time, and they were all simulated monsters. They were not sincere!"

"What the hell? Li Bingbin actually became a colleague who was holding Alice back. This character setting is really bad. It's so hard for Chinese actors. He finally appeared, but he became a role that drags down the team. Sigh."

"This movie feels like it's laying the groundwork for the next one. Li Bingbin's image is great, but it's a pity that the character setting is so poor."

Although Chen Fei did not go to the cinema to watch the movie, it can be seen from the film reviews that Li Bingbin once again became a springboard to set off the protagonist, rather than appearing as a dual protagonist as advertised.

Overall, domestic films in March were once again crushed by imported films.

A movie called "Interstellar" directly dominates March!
In comparison, the screening schedules of other imported films are much worse, but they can do nothing about it.

After all, Chen Fei is a family member and they are outsiders.

At the same time, as March draws to a close, those movies that were scheduled to be released at the end of the month, in April, or even on May 5st have begun promoting their films.

Among them, the one with the most exaggerated publicity effect was Zhao Yanzi's "So Young That Will Never Return".

When he participated in the recording of Happy Camp, he actually invited two big names in the circle from the 96 class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, to join him in a "Cheers to Youth" style promotional event.

When asked whether she was confident about the movie's box office, Zhao Yanzi shook her head very obediently.

“Although youth-themed movies have a large fan base, we are about to face the siege of two domestic films, “Drug War” and “A Man’s Martial Arts”.

Besides, there are top Hollywood imported films like The Croods that are released at the same time. I really don’t have much confidence. I just hope that I won’t lose too badly.”

Obviously, someone must have greeted her before the show. After all, Zhao Yanzi did not have this attitude during the early promotion.

Previously, when she participated in a talk show, she publicly stated that she wanted to crush all other films in the same period, which caused quite a lot of heated discussion.

But when he got here, he suddenly changed his tone.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no trick involved.

As expected, after this episode was broadcast, the news immediately spread within the circle.

Someone revealed that Huang Xiaoming clearly told Zhao Yanzi that if she continued to talk bad about movies such as "A Man's Martial Arts" and "Drug War" when she participated in the show, he would completely cut off contact with her.

He will no longer participate in any promotional activities related to "So Young".

After hearing this rumor, Fade Chen smiled slightly: "Or maybe the leader is popular in the circle."

There is a saying in the circle that with 1000 yuan you may not be able to invite even an 18th-tier star, but there is a high probability that you can invite Huang Xiaoming.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting nearby, peeled a shrimp and put it in his bowl, nodding in approval: "Indeed, Brother Xiao Ming is a very nice person."

……

There is also a rumor in the circle that the Film Bureau specially gave a green pass to the script submitted by Feiyue Film and Television.

And the facts have proved that this rumor still has a certain degree of credibility.

Because on the afternoon of the second day after the four scripts were submitted, the official website of the Film Bureau announced the news to the public.

"The four scripts submitted by Feiyue Films, "The Journey of Flower", "Day and Night", "Black Coal, Daytime", and "The Burning Sun" have all passed the review and can be put into preparation."

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately sparked heated discussions in the circle!
No one expected that Chen Fei had just returned from abroad and caused a huge earthquake in the circle!

Two TV scripts and two movie scripts.

Based on past experience, there is no need to guess that these are definitely four top-notch masterpieces!

For a while, there was a constant stream of people calling.

Most people thought they were not qualified to contact Chen Fei, so they simply called Feiyue Films, hoping to get an audition opportunity for an important role.

But soon, Feiyue Film and Television’s official Weibo revealed the relevant news to the public.

"The female lead of "The Journey of Flower" has been confirmed to be Zhao Liying, and the leading role of "White Night Chase" will be played by the well-known actor Pan Yueming. As for the remaining roles, they will be auditioned by invitation."

When they saw the word "invite", all the actors except those from Feiyinghuang Agency couldn't help but change their expressions.

What kind of bullshit invitation system is this? Isn't it just digesting the content within the company first? Then throw out a few unimportant supporting roles at the end to deal with the public opinion outside.

We are all old hands and can see through the meaning of Feiyue Film and Television's operations at a glance.

However, they have no other options except to watch with envy.

It's their own script, so of course they have to choose people from within their own team first. Why should they give it to outsiders like you?
