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

Chapter 629 I have the right to make any decision for her! This cotton-padded jacket is leaking!
"Act 1, Shot 1, Action!"

In the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", at Chen Fei's command, all the actors started moving according to the established routes and directions.

The camera hovered behind, capturing the entire scene.

This kind of large-scale scene arrangement was very difficult to shoot, so Chen Fei only went through three shots in the entire morning.

Instead of feeling dissatisfied, he was excited.

Because before filming began, he had prepared to spend the entire morning shooting just this one scene, but he never expected that he would perform beyond expectations!

……

During the lunch break, Fade Chen took the phone from his assistant and glanced at the news online.

To his surprise, Jiang Wenli didn't seem to mind the news on the Internet. He just issued a statement lightly, saying that all of this was false, and then... that was it.

This is almost identical to the announcement released after Gu Changwei and Zhang Jingchu were caught in the act. The two seemed to be very easy-going in their relationships and private lives.

On the contrary, Huang Xuan issued many notices, trying hard to defend himself and prove that he was not being bitten by the "old bull".

However, his behavior is actually no different from "covering one's ears and stealing the bell".

Netizens and the media didn't believe his explanation at all. They only wanted to believe what they saw.

As for the movie "Blind Detective", due to its good reputation, the box office trend continued to rise on the second day, directly breaking through 2000 million.

According to predictions, the box office will definitely increase even more on the next two days, Saturday and Sunday!

In contrast, the movie "Man of Tai Chi" co-invested by China Film and Wanda performed quite badly. The box office on the first day of its release was only 665 million, which was really shocking!
Chen Fei looked at the reviews of movie fans on Douban, and found that many people explained the box office failure of the movie.

"Because the lead actor is a martial arts star, his acting skills and looks are not good enough to attract most audiences, and the theme of killing games has been filmed too much, and this script has nothing new to say, it can only be said to be mediocre."

"Obviously, this movie is purely based on Keanu Reeves' appeal. Unfortunately, he hasn't had many good works in recent years, so his performance has been a bit disappointing."

"This kind of movie with fighting and killing is all about blood and violence, but it is obvious that too many wonderful scenes have been deleted from this movie and it has lost its original value."

In the afternoon, Chen Fei noticed that Han Sanping's face did not look very good.

Obviously, the failure of "Man of Tai Chi" put him under a lot of pressure!
Chen Fei didn't know how to persuade him. After all... there were two even worse "The Crossing" movies waiting for him.

After lunch break, the fourth shot officially began shooting.

The scenes of gunfire and hail of bullets always arouse the excitement of many male audiences. Similarly, the actors and production team shooting on the scene could not hide their excitement after finishing the shooting.

Chen Fei grabbed a handful of bullet shells, turned around and said to Han Sanping, "More guns and bullets will definitely be used in "The Hundred Regiments Offensive". How about bringing in the August 1st Film Studio? Give them a share of the investment?"

"Yeah, I think so too." Han Sanping nodded and replied: "If "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" can only be regarded as a mainstream movie, then "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" is a pure mainstream movie.

After I officially retire, I will go to the Film Bureau and try to get more policy support.”

With the end of the gun battle scene, today's filming officially came to an end.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, who had been waiting outside the door, got into the same car and went straight to the cinema.

"The Man from Macau" will be officially released in theaters today. The two made an appointment two days ago to meet tonight to support it.

"Tiantian's acting is pretty good."

In the cinema, Liu Yifei evaluated Jing Tian's acting skills from a very objective perspective.

Chen Fei leaned back in his chair and casually agreed, "The audience who really came to watch this movie are actually here for Chow Yun-fat and gambling movies. Jing Tian is just a foil."

In fact, in his opinion, Jing Tian has a comfort zone.

She is very suitable for playing the daughter of a wealthy family, or even the eldest daughter, and that kind of atmosphere comes up instantly.

"I heard that Jing Tian was also planning to audition for Taking Tiger Mountain? And she was eyeing the role of Bai Ru?"

Fade Chen was about to nod, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw that Miss Liu's eyes were all on him, and she was no longer paying attention to the movie playing on the screen.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fei's heart was filled with alarm!

Thoughts raced through his mind, and he responded calmly, "This role has always been reserved for you. Only if you don't want it, will I arrange for someone else to audition."

This answer obviously touched Liu Yifei's heart, and her pretty face, which was slightly confused and considerate, was now full of smiles.

Chen Fei was lucky enough to answer this life-threatening question correctly.

There was nothing worth visiting nearby, so after watching the movie, the two went straight back to the hotel.

Chen Fei originally thought that Chen Jingfei's visit would not start until a few days later, but unexpectedly, as soon as he and Liu Yifei returned to the hotel lobby, they saw him chatting with Liu Xiaoli in the reception area.

Seeing the two people coming back, Chen Jingfei stood up, but did not move over. Instead, he stood there waiting.

"Oh, huh? Are you putting on airs?"

For Liu Yifei's sake, Chen Fei still gave him some face and went over to say hello.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see."

"You too." Chen Jingfei nodded slightly, his hands in his trouser pockets, with no intention of taking them out.

Chen Fei didn't care about his attitude. If Liu Yifei hadn't been standing here, he wouldn't even come over to say hello.

There were too many people talking in the hall, so it was obviously not a suitable place to discuss business, so Chen Jingfei quickly asked to go upstairs to discuss in detail.

Seeing Chen Fei following Liu Yifei into the room, he frowned slightly and said, "Director Chen, we have some private matters to discuss in detail. How about you step aside for a while?"

Before Chen Fei could say anything, Liu Yifei suddenly said, "It's okay, Uncle Chen, just tell me what's going on. I promise Chen Fei won't go out and tell anyone."

Being on an away field, Chen Jingfei couldn't say much and could only acknowledge Chen Fei's presence.

He was a patient man. He first asked about Liu Yifei's physical condition and work situation, and then got to the point.

"Xixi, the project I gave you before will be officially launched in a week. Now we just need a leading actress. I think you are a very suitable candidate. Are you really not going to consider it again?"

Liu Yifei had already prepared herself mentally, and responded without hesitation: "Uncle Chen, it's not that I don't want to take it, but this project really has big problems.

You may not know that there are countless scripts of this type in Hollywood, and all of them have been shelved because they could not attract investment.

They deliberately chose China as the filming location this time just to make money from it, not to make a serious movie at all."

"No, no, no!" Chen Jingfei immediately retorted: "I don't know where you got the information from, but don't you know the lineup of the production team?
The producer is an excellent producer before "Resident Evil", and the lead actor is Nicolas Cage. How could such a lineup fail? I need you now..."

Before he could finish his words, Fade Chen interrupted him and said, "Boss Chen, to be honest, I was the one who got the information about Yifei.

This project is really not that good. If you haven’t invested a lot of resources, I suggest you withdraw as soon as possible.”

Chen Fei's words were also for his own good, but unfortunately, Chen Jingfei, who had already invested a lot of resources, obviously didn't listen.

Once a person becomes stubborn, even eight oxen can't pull him back!

"Mr. Chen, aren't you overstepping your bounds? This project is between Yifei and I, so it should have nothing to do with you, right?"

Seeing Chen Jingfei's face turn cold, Chen Fei no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to say nice things to him.

He straightened up slightly, hugged Liu Yifei in his arms, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "My girlfriend's business is my business. We won't take this role. Do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jingfei was speechless, obviously he did not expect such a situation to happen.

He tried to open his mouth, but looking at Liu Yifei leaning obediently in Chen Fei's arms, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Facing Chen Fei, he had no reason to be proud.

Looking at the entire film and television industry, whether at home or abroad, Chen Fei's status is hundreds of kilometers ahead of him!

After realizing this, Chen Jingfei silently turned his head and set his sights on Liu Xiaoli. Although Liu Xiaoli was immersed in the "thunderbolt" of her daughter's love affair, she had not completely lost her mind.

Seeing Chen Jingfei's gaze, she didn't say much, but just responded: "I respect Xixi's choice. She has grown up and she has the right to make her own choice for her future."

After hearing this, Chen Jingfei fell completely silent.

He knew in his heart that it was useless for him to say anything more.

After looking at Liu Yifei and then taking a deep look at Liu Xiaoli, he slowly stood up, leaving only a word "take care", and then walked out the door.

"Old Chen, I'll take you there."

Liu Xiaoli stood up and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Chen Jingfei.

The moment he opened the door, he looked back deeply, let out a long sigh and said, "I'm leaving first, no need to see me off, let's... stop here."

Liu Xiaoli stood there in a daze, her eyes filled with complexity.

She wanted to say something, but when it came to choosing between her daughter and Chen Jingfei, her answer would never change.

The rest of her life is lived for her daughter. She wants to see Liu Yifei move higher and higher and get better and better, instead of having to bear a lot of pressure like before.

"boom!"

The door was closed, and only Liu Yifei, her daughter, and Chen Fei were left in the living room.

Liu Xiaoli turned her head and looked at the two people who had separated, as well as her daughter's rosy cheeks, and she already had some guesses in her mind.

She didn't say much, but looked at Fade Chen seriously and said, "Be nice to Xixi. I only have this one daughter. Don't make her sad."

Fade Chen nodded silently: "Auntie, don't worry, I will."

"Uncle Chen's side..."

Liu Yifei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Xiaoli: "That's it, he has opened a new company, if you have the chance, you can help him out, just as a way of thanking him for his kindness to us before."

"Yeah, I get it, Mom."

……

The next day, filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" continued.

The crew used an existing coal-transporting railway to shoot the first scene involving Yang Zirong and Bai Ru, which also featured Yang Zirong and Xiao Baige riding a locomotive with food to support the squad.

This scene came to an end in the morning.

In the afternoon, the "Zuoshan Diao" played by Han Sanping will make his grand appearance!
Dozens of bandits surrounded the Wohu Village, holding torches, blowing suonas and beating drums, making the scene look extremely lively.

As bandits, they naturally have no rules.

A group of people were either wearing cotton jackets or wearing standard uniforms of the puppet army, the national army, the Japanese army, etc. They looked like a hodgepodge of people.

This is a true portrayal of a bandit’s den.

"Come on! Keep going! Next scene!"

Following Chen Fei's shout, the two captives were tied to the pillars.

Immediately afterwards, with King Kong’s shout of “Third Master is here”, the surroundings instantly became quiet.

The camera immediately switched to a long shot, aiming at the distance.

I saw 16 bandits carrying a sedan chair slowly approaching, and sitting on it was the "Zuoshan Diao" played by Han Sanping.

Chen Fei's previous evaluation was not false at all. The Third Master, who had shaved his head and put on a wig, just sat there, looking up and down with a pair of hawk-like eyes, and the feeling of oppression instantly surged up.

Especially when he walked down from the sedan chair wearing a thick coat and leather military boots, an eagle suddenly fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder.

Coupled with the gloomy expression and the wailing of the two captives, the image of "Zuoshan Diao" was immediately established.

"Oh my god, my dad is really scary. Let him play the role of Zuo Shandiao. Isn't this acting in his true colors?"

Han Jianu's voice suddenly rang in Chen Fei's ears, making him laugh.

This girl is merciless when it comes to her own father.

Looking at Han Sanping (Zuoshan Diao) who was interrogating two prisoners, Chen Fei muttered to himself: "Boss Han, your cotton-padded jacket is really leaky!"

……

When Chow Yun-fat and the word "gambling film" are combined, the effect is not just a simple 1+1=2!

On the morning of the 8th, when Chen Fei was putting on makeup and browsing the news website, she was shocked to find that the first-day box office of this movie had soared to 3610 million!
Although this movie sells some sentimental elements, it is undeniable that this wave of sentiment was sold so successfully!
And looking around, almost all the reviews about this movie revolve around Chow Yun-fat.

"Chow Yun Fat is so handsome, so handsome!! The beginning of this movie is quite funny, but the end is very exciting. It's pretty good. I think it's worth the price."

"It's a very funny movie. I laughed a lot throughout the whole movie. But I think it's too short. It feels like it ended before I watched it for long."

"From an objective point of view, there are still a few things that don't make sense, for example, Fa Ge's house has many traps, but they were still broken into by bad guys.

Mr. Gao is the most powerful money laundering company in the world. There must be many people who want to bring him down. But how come he was subdued in just a few moves on the boat? And there are only a few bodyguards. It seems a bit stupid.

But the movie itself is still very good, if you don't dwell on these things, it is definitely worth watching."

Chow Yun-fat is worthy of being the top star in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Although his salary is relatively high, his box office appeal is really strong!
The only drawback is that Jing Tian's joining triggered a boycott from many fans.

As a resource-rich person, although she has filmed many dramas, truly high-quality film and television works are very rare.

This left a not-so-good impression on the outside world, and also caused many people to inexplicably raise their psychological expectations of her.

If Jing Tian wants to prove himself in acting, he will have to put in at least twice or even three times the effort of an ordinary actor!
Yang Shoucheng's call arrived late.

As soon as the call was connected, a hearty laugh rang out from the other end: "Haha, Mr. Chen, our movie is a success. Today's attendance is even higher than yesterday!"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "It's fine if it's high. This "Macau Wind and Cloud" can be made into a series. I will send you the subsequent scripts after I perfect them."

"Okay." Yang Shoucheng couldn't hide his excitement.

At this moment, a sentence that had appeared in many people's minds even emerged in his mind:
"Choice is more important than hard work!"

After chatting for a while about "The Man from Macau", Chen Fei asked about the situation of "Ip Man 3".

Yang Shoucheng also invested a lot of effort in this movie, and even paid attention to the filming progress of the movie in every detail.

"It will be finished in a week at most. Post-production editing has already started. According to my estimation, the finished film should be ready by the end of August."

End of August?

After hearing the deadline, Fade Chen thought about it and suggested, "Since we can finish it by the end of August, why not release it during the National Day? The Golden Week lasts for seven days, which is the best time to reap the box office."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go and make preparations in advance."

In fact, Yang Shoucheng had originally planned to release this movie this year. After all, the longer it is delayed, the more money will be invested.

However, he had originally planned to discuss this matter with Chen Fei after the filming of the movie was completed, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring it up.

It just so happens that the film "Special Identity" starring Zhen Zixuan is also scheduled to be released in October. Taking this opportunity, the two sides can also "learn from each other".

Previously, Zhao Wenzhuo had posted on Weibo, "inviting" Zhen Zixuan to join him in a competition, but in the end the latter found an excuse to turn him down.

Now, although the two sides cannot fight each other in the real arena, the film and television industry is also a pretty good arena.

This is a good opportunity for these two to compete with each other to see who has greater box office appeal!
