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

Chapter 631 Sister-in-law opens the door? The mistress wants to take over? Go public to make money? Is it a taboo to change the leader at the last minute?

Halfway through July, when several summer movies were in theaters, the Film Bureau suddenly released a report on box office data for the first half of the year.

Because the movies "Wolf Warrior", "The Grandmaster", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Love in Seattle" and "A Man's Martial Arts" have all been big hits.

Therefore, judging from the data, domestic films are miraculously on par with imported films!
But because of this, the pressure on domestic films released in the second half of the year suddenly doubled.

What’s more crucial is that there are a lot of imported movies in the second half of the year, and all of them are eager to make a fortune from the domestic cinema market!
Among them, there are at least five films produced by Walt Disney Studios alone, and all of them are "enemies" to the domestic theater market.

"Iron Man 3" has been running in China for a month and has raked in 8.8 million yuan at the box office, dominating the entire June schedule.

Even in the global cinema market, the total box office has now officially exceeded one billion US dollars, which is a huge achievement.

There are also movies like "Thor", "Captain America", "Godzilla" and so on coming up, all of which are blockbusters!

"The Martian" could compete with it, but the film's release date has already been scheduled for the Spring Festival, and it cannot contribute to the box office of domestic films in the second half of 2013.

"The Burning Sun" is scheduled to be released in September, but it is just an art film. It is absolutely impossible to expect it to have the same effect as a commercial film.

Therefore, the bureau suddenly set its sights on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

Tong Ju even called Chen Fei personally to ask if the movie could be released before the New Year?
He didn't dare to make any big promises, he could only promise to do his best.

As for whether we can catch up, that depends on God's will.

……

The actors in the crew all worked very hard, and Fan Bingbing is a typical example.

This person always exudes a special charm that makes everyone unable to help but fall in love with him.

Especially when filming the scene where she takes off her clothes and seduces Yang Zirong, Chen Fei even wanted to give her the title of "slutty vixen".

There's nothing you can do about it, the performance was so enchanting that many staff members at the scene were stunned.

However, everyone was soon amused by the phrase "Jiu Ye's nature".

In addition to being ferocious and evil, the Eight Vajra Kings also have a great talent for comedy.

In the afternoon, when filming the scene where Fan Bingbing was tied to the head of the bed and whipped by Han Sanping, Chen Fei deliberately cleared the scene to prevent more people from seeing something they shouldn't see.

However, Fan Bingbing was quite carefree and even joked to himself: "It's just filming, it's normal, if you want to watch it, just watch it, what's the big deal?"

In this regard, Fade Chen could only silently give him a thumbs up in his heart.

Being able to go from a maid to a popular first-line actress in the circle, and also becoming a member of the "Four Dan and Two Bing", Fan Bingbing's emotional intelligence and IQ are definitely top-notch!
When the staff tied her up with hemp rope, she secretly threw a wink to Chen Fei while no one else was paying attention. She was really bold.

After a whole day of filming, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel.

In the car, Fade Chen saw something quite interesting.

Just when the heat of the scandal between Jiang Wenli and Huang Xuan was gradually dying down, Zhang Jingchu suddenly posted more than ten short essays on Weibo.

Everywhere you look, it's all chicken soup for love.

"If you like someone, just chase them without too many worries", "After living for most of your life, shouldn't you be brave once for love?", "My life is not defined by anyone..."

After reading a few of them, Fade Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This lady's behavior is quite novel. It is obvious that she is preparing to become the director's wife, but she is actually roasting the original wife in trouble.

Jiang Wenli has been in this circle for so long, so naturally, she would not be shaken by such a small disturbance.

She is just a mistress. As long as she doesn't move away, Zhang Jingchu will always be a mistress!
In addition, Tangren, which has been criticized for the departure of its top brother and sister, also made a big move today.

Cai Yinong publicly announced that she would sign an artist economic contract with Chen Yao, a freshman at Beijing Film Academy, and had already prepared a youth campus inspirational TV series for her.

It can be seen from the grand signing ceremony that this person is obviously Liu Shishi's successor, and Tangren is aiming to train her to become the "number one sister" of the company.

It's just a pity for Jiang Shuying and others. They have signed a contract with Tangren for so many years, but they are still playing supporting roles. They occasionally appear in one or two movies, and they are all marginal roles.

In this regard, there is absolutely no "fairness" to Cai Yinong.

All she pursues is maximizing profits!

...

The movie is being filmed here, but various premiere invitations and event invitations continue to come in from people in the circle.

Such as the IPO reception of Pony.com.

When seeing the invitation letter, Fade Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Finally, we're going to go public and make money?"

In the original timeline, Xiao Ma's listing was inseparable from the special effects company it acquired in Hollywood.

But now, this company has already been taken over by Chen Fei, leaving Xiao Ma no chance at all.

So what should they do next?

Chen Fei was looking forward to it.

……

When Liu Dehua returned to the crew, it was already half a month after "Blind Detective" was released.

The film's daily box office officially fell below 1000 million, and subsequent publicity had little effect, so he rushed to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" without stopping.

The movie actually has a pretty good reputation, but unfortunately because of the huge influence of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", no matter how hard Liu Dehua promotes it, it is difficult for the box office to see a significant increase.

For this, he even came out again to apologize to fans and netizens:
"The bad reviews and failure of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains are mostly my fault, and have nothing to do with other people or the movie. Please don't deliberately target Blind Detective and the crew members. I sincerely apologize to everyone here and hope to get your forgiveness..."

Sincerity is always the best card.

Liu Dehua's behavior has won a lot of praise. Although it did not help much in increasing the box office of "Blind Detective", it also reduced a lot of criticism and targeting of the film.

From Chen Fei's perspective, Liu Dehua is much better than those directors and actors who blame each other when something goes wrong. No wonder he has been popular for decades.

Now all he needs is a good enough movie and a stunning enough role to easily reverse his decline.

In "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", Liu Dehua chose to play "Luan Ping", the villain who quarreled with Yang Zirong.

Since his debut, he has played a handful of villain roles, but without exception, each one is very exciting.

When confronting Yang Zirong, played by Jiang Wen, both sides demonstrated their wisdom, courage and acting skills to the fullest.

Although this scene was meant to highlight Yang Zirong's wisdom and courage in the face of crisis, the appearance of Liu Dehua added a strong sense of tension to the atmosphere on the scene, making this scene even more exciting!
He didn't have many scenes, so it took only half a day to shoot them all.

In the evening, the crew held a farewell party for him.

Perhaps because he had drunk a little, Liu Dehua could not help but confide a few words: "In the next year, I may not continue to film, and will focus more on charity.

After a year or two, when the popularity of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains has completely faded, I will consider returning to filming..."

Liu Dehua felt very guilty because "Blind Detective" suffered a huge box office failure due to his own reasons.

Although there are still many film crews sending him scripts, he does not want to affect these movies.

It would be better to take some time to calm down and relax, so as to avoid having to bear this huge pressure of public opinion every day.

Chen Fei didn't know what to say, he just raised his glass to him and drank it all.

……

The next day, with Liu Dehua's departure, a piece of news suddenly topped the film and entertainment websites.

"The remake of "Ip Man 3" has officially wrapped up! Zhao Wenzhuo's version of "Ip Man" will meet fans in October, so stay tuned." Following the exposure of the news, Ying Huang and Feiyue Film and Television's official websites both issued notices to verify the authenticity of the matter.

For a while, there was a heated discussion in the circle again!
Obviously, from then on, Zhen Zixuan and the name "Ip Man" were no longer associated with each other.

This person is really miserable because of his various outrageous actions, which directly led to the loss of one of the top resources!
I regret it for sure, but nothing can go back.

The media were just there to watch the fun, with all sorts of conspiracy theories and related reports popping up one after another, causing constant heated discussions inside and outside the circle.

"Changing the commander at the last minute is a big taboo. Admittedly, Zhao Wenzhuo's "A Man's Martial Arts" won the box office, but can his character Ip Man win the audience's love?"

"It is reported that the film "Special Identity" starring Zhen Zixuan will also be released in mainland theaters in October. The "Zhao Zhen dispute" has not yet completely come to an end."

"According to internal sources, the post-production of The White-Haired Witch has been completed by 2/3, and the investors Huaxia Star and Bona intend to release the film in September..."

There was a lot of buzz about the news online, but the parties involved did not respond.

And in the media, this has become a default.

In October, the "Zhao Zhen dispute" is expected to kick off again and the final battle will take place!
Lu Zheng was confused by the news and called Chen Fei immediately to inquire about the authenticity of the news.

You know, that movie "Special Identity" was invested by Starry Sky, and it was starred by Jing Tian.

If this is targeted by "Ip Man 3", wouldn't it be the end of us?
However, Chen Fei's words gave him peace of mind: "Don't worry, we expect the release date to be September 9th. The movie you invested in has been scheduled for October 29th. There is a gap of nearly 10 days between them. How could there be any impact?"

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Lu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

After chatting for a few sentences, the two couldn't help but mention the news related to "The Man from Macau".

"This movie is really good. It has grossed over 2 million in just one week, and is expected to reach at least million. Tiantian's commercial value and status have been greatly improved..."

Hearing what he said, Fade Chen gave an appropriate reminder: "Mr. Lu, I think you have also seen the discussion about Jing Tian on the Internet. 'Resourceful' is not a good term.

If you want to continue to maintain Jing Tian's status and position, you must be careful when accepting roles in the future. It is better to have nothing than to accept something of poor quality."

"Okay, don't worry, I know the interests involved."

Lu Zheng responded straightforwardly, but it is hard to say whether he actually listened or not.

……

July quickly came to the second half of the month, and films such as "After Earth", "The Grudge 2", and "White House Downfall" successfully broke through the million yuan mark at the box office.

Of course, the most noteworthy imported film is "Fast and Furious 6"!
You know, Chen Fei personally participated in this movie. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely crush all the movies in the same period.

"Equator" is carrying out intensive publicity under this heavy pressure.

Also launched at the same time were "Youth" starring Dong Zijian and Qin Hailu, and "Tiny Times 2: The Age of Youth" directed by Guo Jingming.

This kind of movie, which starts its second promotion plan before the first one is even released, is very rare even in the global cinema market.

Many people on the Internet have been mocking that the movie shot by Guo Xiaosi is simply an expanded MV and cannot be called a movie at all!

As usual, Guo Xiaosi jumped out and declared in front of the media that he was being besieged by various attacks from within the circle.

"Because I'm so successful, I've become the envy of many people. They're eager to drag me down with them and make me fail with them..."

An entertainment media captioned this interview with Guo Jingming: "A small body carrying the big entertainment industry"!
Chen Fei was laughing so hard that he was obviously learning the marketing methods of "So Young" and "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". He brought together multiple elements such as "black and red", "fan circle" and "sentiment" to create a hodgepodge.

However, this method did attract a lot of attention when used in the first part, but can it produce such outstanding results in the second part?
Chen Fei said he would wait and see.

~

The filming progress of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has reached the scene where Zuoshandiao holds a banquet of 100 chickens in the Tiger Hall.

At the same time, based on Yang Zirong's intelligence, the bandit suppression team will take advantage of the cover of night to launch a charge on Wohu Mountain with internal and external support.

Fan Bingbing, wearing a dark printed cotton cheongsam, was tied up again by the staff with ropes, with her back facing up on the big bed.

The seductive makeup, coupled with her curvy figure, perfectly displays the charm of the young woman.

However, the way the rope was tied made Chen Fei feel inexplicably familiar.

After looking at Fan Bingbing carefully, Fade Chen turned his head to look at the prop master and asked curiously, "Brother, have you ever studied in Japan? This way of tying is a bit exaggerated!"

He said this in a joking manner, but he never expected that the guy nodded and said:
"Director Chen, I did learn this technique from Japan, is it not okay? If it doesn't look good, I can try another way to tie it."

"It's not that ugly." Chen Fei covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Let's change it again. Just use the normal binding method. The current binding method is too much to make people want to go to ice... non-existent."

"Oh!"

The brother responded, ran over with a red face, and began to adjust Fan Bingbing's binding posture.

Either you say that Fan Bingbing is the most beautiful post-80s star, or the little bit of charm that she inadvertently revealed made the staff on the scene feel itchy.

Even the cameraman was stunned several times.

Chen Fei secretly muttered in his heart: "Compared to Yu Nan, this is the attitude of a wife of a bandit leader!"

Let me ask you, if this happened in real life, who would see Fan Bingbing and not shout: Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, I am my brother?

However, facing a figure like Zuoshandiao, it is very rare to find someone who dares to actually take action.

In the plot, the death of Si Jin Gang was not because he found the map that Yang Zirong used to frame him, but because he found his sister-in-law's underwear in his arms!
In the eyes of Zuoshandiao, this behavior is an unforgivable capital crime!
……

The crew of "Equator" sent out invitations to the premiere to many actors and film and television companies in the circle, and the names of Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest Films were signed on them.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei was unable to attend the premiere due to filming.

However, under the hosting of Huo Qigang and Su Guohai, the premiere was very successful, and many film critics in the industry gave very high praise to the film.

And then it’s time to wait for the release.

Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Jiahui, Yu Wenle, Chen Zheng, Wang Xuejin... Such a lineup means that this movie will definitely not be a Hong Kong film in the ordinary sense.

At the same time, "Thor 2: The Dark World" held its premiere ceremony in North America.

This film will be released in North America and mainland China on August 8nd, which will undoubtedly be a huge blow to domestic films released at the same time.

However, just when many people in the film and television industry were focusing on several movies that were about to hit theaters, Huayi, which had been low-key for a while, suddenly jumped out and made a big move!

After Xiaoma Pentium held its IPO reception, Wang Zhongjun suddenly came out and announced that he would express his intention to acquire Xiaoma Pentium.

As soon as this news came out, it instantly attracted the attention of all film and television companies in the industry!

In an interview with the media, Wang Zhongjun said very domineeringly: "We attach great importance to the creative ability of Pony.com in the field of TV dramas and hope to achieve a win-win situation in this regard.

Similarly, if Ms. Zhong Lifang is willing to join Huayi, we will offer you a satisfactory salary and appoint you as the director of Huayi Film and Television to share our success..."

For a while, the whole circle was in an uproar.

You know, Huayi made a series of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of the year, which led to a surge in the company's stock price.

Now Wang Zhongjun suddenly extended his hand to Xiaoma Pentium, which is obviously the rhythm of seeking to "go to the next level"!
In an instant, many people in the circle looked at Xiao Ma Pentium and Zhong Lifang, waiting for her response.

Accept mergers and acquisitions? Or go public independently?

This choice will undoubtedly determine the future direction of the pony!
