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

Chapter 632 Another Pandora's box is opened! The identity of the novel writer changes!
"As time came to 2013, there was only half a year left before Xiaoma Pentium and the bank signed the bet agreement."

"If Pony.com cannot complete its IPO before 2014, they will have to pay a premium and repurchase the 7.5 million yuan of shares previously invested by the bank in cash in one go."

"If you calculate the total amount of this repurchase, it is at least more than 10 billion RMB!"

"..."

With media coverage, more and more people have turned their attention to this company.

Carrying such great pressure, can Xiaoma Pentium be successfully listed like Huayi, Bona and Guangxian?

"Haha, according to the information I have learned, Xiao Ma's financing sources are not just banks. The amount of financing they have raised in the past five years is the highest in the industry, much more than Huayi, Bona and the like!"

The information Han Sanping had learned was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people, and as soon as she opened her mouth she hit Xiao Ma's sore spot.

If the listing fails, there is a high possibility that the company will collapse on the spot!

Although Chen Fei had not paid special attention to this company, he was clear about one thing.

Pony.com is a pure family business!

According to Su Guohai's previous description, the subordinates can refute what the chairman of this company says, or even disobey his orders.

This is fucking terrible!

There are so many people in a company who have decisions to make, and they are all relatives. It is inevitable that some of them will get carried away and do something stupid.

This is a fatal blow to the entire company!
"What do you think Xiao Ma will choose in the end?"

On the one hand, it was acquired by Huayi and became its subsidiary. Although it needed to be controlled by others, the risks were infinitely reduced.

On the other hand, we continue to forge ahead under heavy pressure and risks, advance towards the goal of listing and become our own masters.

From a bystander's perspective, Chen Fei couldn't even make a decision for a moment.

Han Sanping shook her head: "It's hard to say, let's just wait and see what happens."

……

"Equator" will be released one day earlier than "Fast and Furious 6".

Although Chen Fei didn't have time to attend the premiere, he took Liu Yifei to the cinema and bought two movie tickets.

The film tells the story of an international wanted criminal "Equator" who sent his assistant to steal South Korea's super weapons and conducted an underground transaction in Hong Kong, and then South Korean experts, Hong Kong's anti-terrorism special forces, mainland experts and other forces jointly intercepted the attack.

What surprised Chen Fei was that when he obtained the script of "Equator" from the system, he also learned a lot of interesting inside stories.

Over the past century, espionage activities have been very active in Hong Kong. It can even be said to be the intelligence center of the Far East. It is also known as the "Spy Capital of the East."

Its status is comparable to that of Lisbon in Europe and Casablanca in Africa.

The main reason for this is that in history, Hong Kong has signed visa-free agreements with more than 100 countries and regions, which has greatly facilitated the entry of intelligence personnel.

At the same time, Hong Kong does not have any anti-espionage laws, and its extradition regulations only target those who have committed crimes in Hong Kong. In addition, as an important economic center, Hong Kong has thousands of people coming and going every day, and international spies and terrorists can hide well there. Over time, Hong Kong has also been regarded as a paradise for espionage and intelligence transactions.

And this is the origin of the script of "Equator".

What is different from "Cold War" is that the shooting days of "Equator" not only exceeded the former by 2%, but the total cost was as high as million, which is twice as much as "Cold War"!
This movie has created the most luxurious and powerful cast in Hong Kong movies. Not only does it have the singing god Zhang Xueyou to help, but it also has the film emperor Zhang Jiahui joining.

In addition, some scenes in the film were filmed with the cooperation of the military. For example, the South Korean aircraft in the film was provided by the military. These all cost a lot of money.

The high investment has brought extremely high quality to the film. After watching the movie, most people in the theater said it was very enjoyable!
As expected, the box office results on the first day soared to 5607 million.

More importantly, it has also won praise from many people in Douban film reviews.

"This film is the pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster films. The plot is bizarre and interlocking, the gunfights are intense and exciting, the actors are both good-looking and good-acting, Zhang Xueyou's acting skills are even worthy of the Best Actor award, and the overall production level is first-class among Asian films!"

"This film completely subverts the absurd idea that the protagonists are always omnipotent. The villains also show their strong strength to confront Interpol head-on. Their high IQ, high violence, deep lurking, and information gap are amazing and eye-catching!"

"I've seen many people compare this movie with last year's Cold War, but I personally think that this movie is a notch higher than the Cold War series in terms of conception, cast, and production. And more importantly, aren't both movies created by Director Chen?"

"I need to remind those viewers who say this is an overly long trailer, please criticize the first films of the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Infernal Affairs and other series one by one before watching this."

“This movie is definitely 8 points, I really look forward to the sequel being released soon!”

The reason why the film's box office and reputation were so successful, in addition to the high quality of the filming and good acting, another key factor was the modification of the ending.

In the original timeline, perhaps due to political factors, the ending of "Equator" was too open, leaving many people confused.

After Chen Fei's revision, the ending could also be postponed to the second part, and some doubts were also reduced.

Although it took a lot of effort to pass the review in the mainland, it can still be done with Chen Fei's current energy.

According to feedback from the cinema, although "Fast & Furious 6" was released the next day, the attendance rate of "Equator" was not low.

In addition, the film "The Mystery of the Gods" invested by Guangxian was officially released with a box office of 3.01 million yuan.

According to Wang Changtian's calculations, this movie actually lost a lot of money. Although the amount was not large, nearly a year's efforts were wasted.

In comparison, "Tiny Times" did not lose money. Its box office has now risen to 4 million, far exceeding the investment cost.

This group of fans is really awesome, they pushed up the box office results.

There were still three days before the movie was officially released. Just when everyone thought Guo Jingming would be quiet for a few days, he jumped out and did something else again.

There is great wisdom hidden in the small head!
This guy united a group of super fans and published an advocacy article on Weibo, calling on all fans who like Guo Jingming and the movie "Tiny Times" to go to the cinema again and contribute to the movie box office.

I have to say that there are quite a few people who have been bewitched.

In just three days, he managed to get more than 70 million at the box office, which stunned everyone in the industry.

"Tiny Times" has also set a new record. Purely driven by the fan effect, the box office has successfully reached 5 million!
For a time, many people in the industry focused their attention on the word "fans".

It seems that a new Pandora's box is about to be opened!
……

After nearly a month of filming, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has reached the second half.

Chen Fei originally estimated that the filming would take two months, but he never expected that the filming would go very smoothly and would not take so much time at all.

Judging from the current progress, it will take at most 10 days before we can officially announce the completion of the filming.

After another day, Fade Chen found Han Jianu, who had been doing odd jobs in the crew, and asked curiously, "Your father told me that you have already started preparing for the graduation drama?"

"Hmm? Ah! That's right." Han Jianu shook the stack of materials in her hand: "I'm writing a paper. Hehe, I'll ask Director Chen to sign it for me when the time comes."

The signature on a paper is not something that can be signed casually. Writing your name also means a guarantee.

However, Chen Fei would naturally not refuse Han Jianu's request.

He nodded and agreed directly: "Signing is no problem. I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, Mr. Han would never agree to play the role of 'Zuoshan Diao'."

"My dad is just shy. I think this role is tailor-made for him. It suits him perfectly!"

Chen Fei didn't know what to say about the cotton-padded jacket that started to leak again. After all, this was not his biological daughter.

After chatting for a while, Fade Chen specifically said, "Boss Han told me that he wanted me to help you with the filming of the graduation drama. If you have any requests, you can come to the company to find me or call me."

"Oh!" Han Jianu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly said, "My father is pretty good! I thought he was not going to help me and let me do it myself."

"..."

Apart from silence, Fade Chen had no words to describe his feelings.

……

As expected, "Fast & Furious 6" officially began to lead the box office in July.

The box office on the first day was 6772 million, which was far ahead of the rest and had no rivals at all during the same period.

As Chen Fei's fame grows, any movie he stars in, whether as the lead actor or a guest star, will always have a large number of fans supporting him!
In addition, the song "See You Again" is still in the top ten of the North American singles chart, which has brought a huge wave of popularity to the film. Perhaps seeing the box office potential of the domestic market, the main creators of the "Fast and Furious 6" crew rushed to the mainland after the North American promotions ended and began to promote the film in various provincial capitals.

Chen Fei's name was a topic they often mentioned. Several leading actors expressed their admiration for him. In addition, Wen Ziren would occasionally reveal some inside stories about the preparation and shooting of the last part of "The Hunger Games", which attracted a large number of fans to show their support.

Many people in the industry were paying attention to the box office performance of this imported film, but only Guo Jingming saw the added bonus brought by the series.

"We can't be too hasty. We need to keep releasing one movie a year. We need to use hunger marketing to keep those fans hanging. We can't satisfy them too easily..."

In the study, Guo Jingming muttered to himself while focusing his attention on his other two books, "Jade Dynasty" and "Fantasy City".

Having tasted the box office success of "Tiny Times", he can't wait to prove himself with more film and television works.

At the same time, another published novelist, Han Han, also began his career as a screenwriter and director.

The script "See You Tomorrow" was sent to the Film Bureau.

……

There seemed to be some problems in the filming of "The Crossing". After receiving a phone call, Han Sanping hurried to the filming location.

Since the eagle ran away, the filming of some scenes naturally had to be paused.

It happened that Zhang Ruoyun and Liu Shishi arrived at the crew by plane at this time. After some discussion, Chen Fei decided to finish filming the scenes for these two people first.

Jiang Lei, played by Zhang Ruoyun, has a scene in which he is on a high-speed train returning to his hometown.

This scene needed to be coordinated with the EMU, and the presence of local departments came to the rescue.

It is much easier for officials to connect with each other than for the crew to connect with officials.

After the high-speed train scenes were filmed, the next scene was the "New Year's Eve dinner" scene.

While the props team was preparing, Fade Chen specifically explained the details of the next scene to several actors:

"The poses of everyone at the New Year's Eve dinner were actually the final impression of all the team members by the nine-year-old Shuanzi after the successful suppression of the bandits. He drew his memories of everyone in a notebook and passed it on to the younger generation..."

The part about the play took more than an hour, and then it was time to officially start shooting.

As Chen Fei shouted "Action", everyone in the crew started moving instantly.

Zhang Ruoyun, dressed in modern clothes, came to the door, raised her hand and rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was a white-haired old lady, who was also a veteran actress. She was a drama actor invited by Han Sanping from the People's Art Theatre.

In the script, she is Xiaojuan, the granddaughter of the village chief where the squad was stationed. She and Shuanzi are childhood sweethearts. They experienced the squad's anti-bandit incident together, and she finally married Shuanzi.

"grandmother."

"Xiaobao!"

The old woman welcomed her grandson into the house.

The camera quickly turned and scanned the interior of the house.

Above the cabinet are black and white photos of Shuanzi and Xiaojuan, and then there are three large tables filled with fine wine and delicious food.

There were more than 20 sets of bowls and chopsticks neatly placed on the three tables, but there were clearly only the grandfather and grandson in the empty room, which seemed a bit weird.

Zhang Ruoyun asked, "Grandma, why are there so many dishes and chopsticks? Are there any guests today?"

"No, everyone sitting here is our family. It's Chinese New Year, so let's have a reunion dinner together and celebrate it in a lively manner..."

In the camera, the old woman smiled and nodded left and right, as if the tables around her were really full of people.

This scene was actually a little "weird". If it was a movie like "The Grudge", Zhang Ruoyun would probably have run away.

But the fact is, the next people to appear are all heroes of the people!
Zhang Ruoyun turned her head and looked towards the inner room, only to see soldiers in tattered and patched uniforms coming out and sitting around the table.

"Grandson."

"grandfather!"

With a simple conversation, the identities of these people are instantly revealed. They are all heroes who once sacrificed for the people!

"That's great. This one passed."

Chen Fei's voice rang out from the loudspeaker, echoing throughout the studio, unusually loud.

Many female staff members who were frightened at the beginning came to their senses at this time and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, but soon a look of shame appeared on their faces.

Jiang Wen walked behind the monitor and watched the playback. He was inexplicably worried: "This segment is likely to be stuck."

"Block your ass!" Chen Fei cursed directly: "I want to see who dares to block it. You can't even let us pay tribute to the martyrs, right? You are so tired of living..."

~

When returning to the crew, San Ye's expression looked a little unhappy.

Chen Fei knew without even guessing that Wu Yu must be causing trouble again, and this "The Crossing" would definitely follow the same path as "Red Cliff"!

Before he could ask, Han Sanping took the initiative to say, "He wants the investors to add more funds."

Fade Chen asked curiously, "Added?"

"Yes, I added it."

Han Sanping nodded, looking unhappy.

As retirement approaches, he just wants to make his resume look better.

If both "The Crossing" and "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" were successful and both exceeded 1 billion in box office, he would have retired with honor.

But judging from the current situation, things on The Taiping Ferry don't seem to be going as smoothly as he imagined.

However, it’s no use regretting now. We can only pray that Wu Yu can be more reliable and not create another mess like "Red Cliff".

Han Sanping has even changed his goal from winning a great victory to "just breaking even."

This Eastern version of the Titanic had just begun its voyage, but it was already showing signs of being buried in the deep sea. This was really a bit of a lie.

Chen Fei did not make any comment, he still held on to that idea.

Wu Yu is old and he is out of touch with this era!
At the same time, with the return of Han Sanping, the filming plan was back on track.

The next scene to be filmed is the final attack on Tiger Mountain.

Although there was only one scene, Chen Fei had more than a week to complete it.

Because during the filming, a series of props such as explosives, rocket barrels, armored vehicles, etc. will be used, and the entire Tiger Mountain has to be dismantled. All of this requires a lot of time and energy to complete.

The Bayi Film Studio provided support for the filming of this scene, and only these state-owned enterprises can use these big guys. Ordinary crews simply do not have the qualifications and authority to do so.

At the same time, a call came from North America.

"Fei, Michael Mann's Nomadland has been officially confirmed to be released on December 12st. We will hire a professional public relations team to launch a charge for the Oscar for Best Director. Apart from that, do you have anything else to arrange?"

Chen Fei thought for a moment, then responded, "By the way, keep an eye on The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I want to know if he has any chance of winning the award."

"Ok, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on it."

After chatting for a while, Natasha quickly hung up the phone.
