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

Chapter 602: Qiuya is getting married, why are you singing and dancing? April Fool's Day joke!

"Your name is Charlotte?"

"Qiu Ya is getting married, why are you singing and dancing?"

"A sin!"

……

In comparison, comedy-style stage plays are always more attractive to audiences than serious dramas.

In particular, Happy Twist's latest film "Charlotte's Troubles" has attracted a large number of fans and enthusiasts to support it.

Since it was a spur of the moment decision, when they arrived at the theater they discovered that the tickets had already been sold out.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun knew Yan Fei. After making a phone call, he had someone send out three tickets for the backstage.

Especially when he learned that in addition to Zhou Xun, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were also present at the scene, he hurriedly walked out from the backstage and came over to say hello in person.

"Director Chen's arrival has brightened up our humble home!"

There was no falsehood in Yan Fei's words; they came completely from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't even know how to describe the status and ability of the person in front of him!
To these lesser-known small directors and screenwriters, Chen Fei is like a god!

"Mr. Yan, you don't have to be so polite. I just came here to take a look. I think this kind of stage play is quite novel."

Chen Fei's main purpose of coming here this time was actually for Wang Yanhui. As for the stage play "Charlotte's Troubles", it was purely a surprise.

Yan Fei asked with some anticipation: "What do you think of the stage play we wrote?"

"Very good." Chen Fei nodded in approval, and then casually said, "It has the potential to be adapted into a comedy movie. The box office will not be bad."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's eyes suddenly lit up!
"You...you mean, this stage play can be adapted into a movie and put on the big screen?"

Happy Twist's business is very extensive, including film and television production, stage plays, musicals, sketches, online dramas, movies and artist management.

However, the company's current main development direction is still stage plays, musicals and sketches.

As for film and television production, the company currently only shouts a few slogans from time to time, and does not have the professional talent and courage in this area.

Making a movie is not like writing a stage play.

If you are not careful, you will suffer a loss of tens of millions. How many stage plays will you have to perform to make the money back?
Listening to Yan Fei's slightly excited voice, Chen Fei withdrew his gaze from the stage that had already ended, turned his head to look at him, and simply said: "I suggest that you try to adapt the stage play IP into a film and television version. This would be a good development direction.

Of course, if you don’t have confidence, you can also contact Feiyue Films. We have very strong resource combination capabilities in film and television adaptation, and we can work together to develop projects.”

Chen Fei didn't actually hold out much hope, he just said it casually.

If we can cooperate, then both parties will win. If we cannot cooperate, then we can just consider it as giving back the money for tonight's tickets.

After the performance, several people followed Yan Fei to the backstage and met the people who had just performed on the stage.

"Brothers, come over and say hello. Haha, some important people are here to see you today. This has made our theater much brighter."

As Yan Fei's voice rang out, everyone who was busy backstage turned around.

"What the hell! Director Chen? Liu Yifei? Zhou Xun?"

"Wow! He's a big star!"

"Wow! Such a surprise!"

The exclamation echoed in the background, and a group of people quickly gathered around and greeted them eagerly.

Yan Fei introduced them from the side: "This is Shen Teng, this is Ma Li..."

"Hello." Chen Fei smiled and nodded at the two of them. "I've seen you guys on the Spring Festival Gala before. Your skit was very good."

Shen Teng was quick to speak and quickly took over the conversation: "Haha, thank you Director Chen for the compliment. It would be great if I could be lucky enough to star in a movie directed by you one day."

Chen Fei still has a good impression of him. After all, comedy actors have a high box office bonus and can often accumulate a lot of loyal fans by themselves.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then leave your business card. If there is a suitable role, I will have someone contact you."

"Oh! Great! Thank you Director Chen for your recognition!" Shen Teng quickly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Fei.

The people around couldn't hide their envy when seeing this scene, but because of their status and position, they didn't have the courage to interfere.

Chen Fei did not stay backstage for long. After Wang Yanhui removed her makeup, they left the Happy Twist Theater together.

At the theater entrance, Yan Fei fell into deep thought as he watched the vehicles going away.

"Adaptation of stage play IP into film and television?"

He murmured these words softly, and finally took out his cell phone and called the big boss.

Happy Twist alone does not have the ability or confidence in film and television production, but if it reaches a cooperation with Feiyue Film and Television, the effect will be different.

Having a leader who is awesome enough is definitely a blessing for those who come after you!

……

Half an hour later, in a private restaurant box located on the Third Ring Road, Chen Fei and Wang Yanhui were eating and chatting.

"Director Chen, so what you mean is that you want me to play a cameo role as a vicious criminal in your movie and film a clip of me being interrogated?"

Fade Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

When watching the movie "The Glorious Fury" directed by Cao Baoping, Chen Fei noticed the role played by Wang Yanhui in the film, the tyrannical and overbearing village chief of Heijing Village, Xiong Laosan.

Before this, he mostly played positive roles such as soldiers and policemen in dramas, and never played a bad guy.

It was also because of the role of "Xiong Lao San" that he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 8th Chinese Film Media Awards, began to emerge in the film industry, and laid the foundation for him to become a "professional bad guy."

But now, Chen Fei wanted to make him even worse and more insane!
Wang Yanhui did not think too much about his invitation and nodded and accepted it: "No problem, it's just a cameo role, this is my strong point, just give me the script when the time comes."

Like everyone else, Wang Yanhui was also very excited about Chen Fei's movie.

Even if it was just a guest appearance, it was the best way to increase popularity and fame, and he had no reason to refuse.

The subsequent pay, schedule, etc. will naturally be discussed by the agent, and there is no need for Chen Fei to step in person.

Therefore, the second half of the dinner was spent on all kinds of chatting.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when it was over. Chen Fei first arranged for the driver to send Wang Yanhui and Zhou Xun back home, and finally he and Liu Yifei rushed towards her home.

"It's already past eleven o'clock, and your aunt didn't urge you to go home quickly?"

"No." Liu Yifei suddenly laughed, with the corners of her mouth and eyes curved into a beautiful angle: "I told my mother that I would have dinner with you in the evening, and then she stopped urging me."

Fade Chen subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Auntie trusts me so much? Isn't she afraid that I will sell her silly daughter?"

"Humph, you're stupid! I'm not stupid! I'm not a child."

"It's not good for children." Chen Fei suddenly said slowly, and then pulled down the partition.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yifei blushed and whispered softly: "You can kiss, but you can't bite, your mouth will swell..."

~

On the day when the filming of "The Sun Also Rises" started, Chen Fei held a small press conference and only invited a few familiar media to take pictures and interview.

This movie is solely owned by Feiyue Films. He has the final say in everything and no one is qualified to make comments.

Interestingly, on the same day, the launch conference of “Private Tailor” directed by Feng Xiaogang was also held.

In comparison, the two brothers of the Wang family are really awesome. They want to call all the celebrities and media in the circle to support and stand for them.

They even invited several South Korean girl groups to dance at the launch conference, making it a huge event!
Online media reports were overwhelming, but Chen Fei ignored them and threw himself into the filming of "The Sun Also Rises" that afternoon. However, although he did not buy hot searches, the name "Chen Fei" alone was already hot enough!
On entertainment news sections such as Sina Weibo, Sohu, and NetEase, reports about "Burning Sun" were freshly released that afternoon.

"Director Chen Fei's new film "The Burning Sun" officially started shooting today. He will challenge himself as an actor again and direct and act in it himself!"

"It is reported that Director Chen is expected to once again launch a charge towards the Cannes Palme d'Or."

"Personal Tailor" was launched with great fanfare, while "The Sun Also Rises" started filming with a low profile. How will the two films end?"

Huayi was still frantically buying all kinds of hot searches, but Chen Fei didn't pay any attention to the online news at all and completely immersed himself in the character of "Xin Xiaofeng".

In the film, after he raped and killed a female painter in the Fuzhou reservoir massacre, he returned to the crime scene to find his illegitimate daughter and raised her.

After escaping from the crime scene, he fled directly to a city thousands of miles away and worked as a auxiliary police officer.

At work, he is smart, capable, and dedicated, but at the same time he is always worried and anxious about the case that happened seven years ago.

Directing and acting in the film is actually a very troublesome thing. You have to observe the shooting angles and effects, and you have to perform on stage yourself. It's like using one person as two people.

In other words, Chen Fei was energetic enough, and with Wang Shiliang as assistant director to assist him in the filming, otherwise he would never have been able to complete the filming progress in the shortest time.

"Director Chen, for the scene of pinching the cigarette butt, do we need to prepare props and finger gloves for protection?"

The on-site executive assistant director was an old man who had been with Chen Fei for a long time. He completed every task with great care and had won his deep trust.

"No need." Fade Chen shook his head and said, "I'll just go ahead. It's just a few shots anyway, so a little heat won't be a problem."

He is not one of those delicate and tender young guys who would scream and go to the hospital if he got a slight scratch.

A real man should be manly!

What the hell is eating a peach?

……

Just as March entered the second half of the year, the box office of "Love in Seattle" successfully exceeded 6 million yuan despite the one-month extension of the key release.

At this time, although the daily box office was only 500 million, it was still a huge profit!
As the first female director to become a member of the 6 million box office club, Xue Xiaolu has become a big star this time and has become completely famous in the circle.

At the same time, taking advantage of this favorable situation, Yang Mi's popularity and exposure in the circle continued to rise, and she even started a tug-of-war with Shu Chang.

Zeng Jia's operations are still the same old three things: hiring internet trolls, leading the rhythm, and making comparisons. He first forcefully ties the two together, and then sucks their blood and grabs their traffic in various ways.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei’s rank is already very high now, otherwise Yang Mi would definitely target her.

What makes many people feel disgusted is that when Love in Seattle was selling well at the box office, Guo Jingming, the short guy, suddenly jumped out and started to take advantage of the popularity:

“First of all, congratulations to Yang Mi and the movie she starred in for breaking through 6 million at the box office. She has officially been promoted to the 6 million box office heroine and her career is flourishing.

Secondly, I have a good news for you all. The post-production of Tiny Times 1 has officially ended and it is expected to be released during the summer vacation. See you this summer!"

This wave of popularity did have some effect, and with the addition of the internet trolls, public opinion was immediately stirred up.

As one of the four young actresses, Yang Mi is so talented, so naturally the others will not be willing to fall behind.

Shu Chang is doing fine. He has been reaping the benefits of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" recently. In addition, the second part has also officially begun preparations, so the popularity has remained high.

Jing Tian also started throwing cards out.

In just one day, "The Man from Macau", "Special Identity" and "Police Story 2013" all announced their release dates.

Among them, "The Man from Macau" is also scheduled to be released during the summer vacation, only 10 days later than "Tiny Times".

For a time, as the last one among the four young actresses, Yang Ying was directly put on the spot.

"Brother Xiao Ming, I also want to act in a movie directed by Chen Fei or produced by Feiyue Films."

Inside the villa, watching the news appearing one after another on the Internet, Yang Ying's eyes turned red with envy, and she ran directly into Huang Xiaoming's arms and acted coquettishly.

After hearing what his girlfriend said, Huang Xiaoming could only smile bitterly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

How could it be so easy to act in a movie directed by Chen Fei?
When "The Martian" was being filmed, he was lucky enough to get a very important role thanks to Liu Yifei's relationship.

Favors are something that will eventually run out.

If you want to continue using it in the future, you must pay for it.

But which hospital could he choose for Chen Fei?

If you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing.

What's more, Feiyinghuang Agency is so big and has so many artists waiting to play roles, why should they give it to you, Yang Ying?
"Brother Xiao Ming, is it difficult? If it is, forget it, but I can't force you."

Yang Ying had some skills to be able to get to the top as a mistress, especially in observing people's expressions and being a green tea girl, she had great potential.

Seeing that his girlfriend was so sensible, Huang Xiaoming's masculinity in his heart also surged.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's difficult to be the heroine, but I can still give you a try for some important female supporting roles."

"Yeah! Really? Thank you, brother."

Yang Ying's face was full of surprise. She stretched out her hand very flexibly and exhaled sweetly: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Let me reward you."

……

Under shooting conditions similar to military training, the shooting progress of "Burning Sun" was very fast.

As March is coming to an end, one third of the progress has been completed!

Except for Qiu Ze, all other actors in the movie are veteran actors. Once they get into the role, they rarely get stuck.

It just so happens that the weather in Xiamen is comfortable right now, and everyone in the crew is in great shape, as if they were helped by God.

On the 31st, "The Murderer", directed by Kang Honglei and starring Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi, officially hit theaters.

Due to time constraints, Chen Fei was unable to return to the capital to attend the premiere and could only send his blessings remotely.

However, he still pays attention to the box office performance of movies.

On the morning of April 4, April Fool's Day, he called Weibo to check the box office performance of "The Witness".

But I never expected that as soon as I opened Weibo, a big "joke" appeared at the top of the hot search list!
"Hua Yi Xing Hui goes to court - Zhou Xingchi files a lawsuit against Hua Yi, demanding a share of 80 million in box office revenue!"

Chen Fei almost thought that this was a joke between the two parties. After all, Huayi and Zhou Xingchi are both top names in the industry. How could they create such a scandal over 80 million?

But after he opened the news and read it carefully, he found out that it was actually true!

Zhou Xingchi clearly stated: "When Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was first released, I reached an agreement with Huayi General Manager Wang Zhonglei that if the box office exceeded 5 million, I, as the director, would get an additional 8 million in box office revenue. But now Huayi has refused to fulfill the agreement and refused to pay!"

In response, Wang Zhonglei also personally responded:
"I did discuss the relevant agreement with Mr. Zhou Xingchi, but we did not sign any formal contract offline because we did not agree on the details of the contract, so we gave up the contract.

Now Mr. Zhou Xingchi suddenly wants to demand 8 million yuan with a few emails. He is simply asking for humiliation and making a fool of himself. I believe the court will give Huayi a fair and just judgment!"

For a time, as both parties released relevant responses, it also meant that the previous cooperation had completely broken down.

No one expected that such a big joke would happen on April Fool's Day!

You know, not long ago, both parties attended a celebration banquet together, and it was a very happy occasion.
I didn't expect that just a few days later, they would turn against each other!

Weibo has completely exploded. Zhou Xingchi’s fans directly rushed to Huayi’s official Weibo and Wang Zhonglei’s Weibo and started to criticize crazily!
But the two brothers of the Wang family were extremely thick-skinned. They didn't care about the insults at all.

The money is already in my pocket, so why bother with anything else?

As for the lawsuit, it was filed in the capital. Do you really think Huayi has been in the capital for nothing all these years?
