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

Chapter 633: A bad interview, the real crisis of domestic films is coming!
Han Sanping's mood has been a bit bad these past two days, so much so that the shooting progress has been affected.

"The Crossing" encountered problems right after filming began, and "Man of Tai Chi" made 10 million yuan at the box office in three days. These successive blows made him feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Fei didn't know what to say, so he could only slow down and let him adjust and adapt slowly.

The filming, originally scheduled for more than a week, stretched to 10 days before the final scene was filmed.

"Alas!" Han Sanping sighed after putting on her makeup, and said a little depressed: "If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to your advice..."

Chen Fei shrugged and said comfortingly, "People make mistakes, horses stumble, this is normal. Who can guarantee that every movie they invest in will be a big success?"

"That's it. After the filming of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy is finished, I will not take on other projects in the next few months. I just want to finish the last part of my journey in peace."

Chen Fei did not respond to his words, but started a new topic: "You have to pay more attention to the movie "The Hundred Regiments Offensive". I will not get involved in this project. You will be in charge of the whole process."

"Okay, don't worry about this, it's guaranteed."

Han Sanping felt a little embarrassed for delaying the progress for so many days, so he naturally wouldn't slack off.

Soon, all the actors were ready, props, cameras, fill lights, etc. were all in place, and they arrived at the preset positions.

……

The wind on Wohu Mountain was strong and cold, but it could not conceal the determination of the team members to wipe out the bandits.

The first team members skied, flew over the cliff, and pulled up ropes, while others crossed the cliff with homemade zip lines to reach the reserved location.

Of course, this part of the shots must be done with special effects, as real shots cannot reflect the feeling of tension and urgency.

The one-hour shoot ended quickly, and all members of the team arrived at the gate of Wohuzhai.

At the same time, Zuoshandiao, played by Han Sanping in the village, had already changed into the lieutenant general's uniform sent by the National Army. He looked quite domineering and had a bit of the feeling of a general.

In the camera, Yang Zirong, played by Jiang Wen, shouted at the top of his voice: "Please welcome the birthday boy... Third Master..."

The camera turned again, and Han Sanping came towards them with big strides, full of vigor, as if he had really become the pillar of the country.

The sound of firecrackers exploding on both sides was as if to celebrate the promotion of the Third Master to Lieutenant General.

The camera flashed by with more than 200 extras, and you could see the table filled with delicious fish, meat, wine and food, which was quite spectacular.

Fan Bingbing, who cut the rope and prepared to escape, has been caught and is now hanging in the Wohu Hall. Although she looks haggard, she still has the charm and demeanor of a young woman.

On the periphery, the team members had already placed the explosive packs and rushed into the armory of Wohushan.

"Boom!"

As the explosion sounded, the most exciting war scene in the whole play officially began.

The sounds of gunfire, screams, and shouting...it lasted for nearly three hours before this scene finally came to an end.

In the camera, Zuoshandiao took Ma Qinglian and escaped into the secret passage, followed by two lucky guys, Qi Vajra and Ba Vajra.

As for the other bandits, they had either been killed or captured.

The way Chen Fei designed for Zuoshandiao to die was not to be captured and imprisoned, but to have him shot and fall off a cliff in a heroic manner.

Although this ending is somewhat different from the original, it does not affect the overall direction of the story.

Although he is a villain, he is a powerful villain. How could such a person surrender voluntarily and kneel down to beg for mercy?
As the last scene was finished, Fade Chen reached out and grabbed the loudspeaker beside him and shouted:
"I declare that the filming of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy has officially wrapped up!"

As soon as the words fell, all the leading actors and extras put down their props and shouted loudly:

"It's done!"

"Yeah! It's finally over!"

After nearly two months of filming, it has now officially come to an end. The hard work and fatigue of everyone in the crew is undeniable.

It was bright at that time, and Chen Fei immediately arranged for someone to report the news of the completion of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

For a time, the hot search lists of major entertainment websites and Weibo were all filled with news about this movie.

"Good news! The film 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy', directed and starred by Chen Fei and starring Han Sanping, Jiang Wen, Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and others, has officially wrapped up and is expected to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"The wrap party will be held in the capital, at which the crew will reveal some of the encounters and highlights during the filming."

"It is still unclear how the final film will turn out, as the set was not open to visitors during filming, but Director Chen's film is bound to be a masterpiece!"

……

Following the news reports, the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" also began their return journey.

The plane departed at around 5pm. At noon, Chen Fei and Han Sanping met with local leaders, had a meal and had a brief exchange.

Although the filming of the film has been completed, there is still a lot of follow-up work that requires local cooperation, such as various promotional activities.

For this win-win situation, the local authorities naturally would not refuse, but agreed with full confidence.

Before leaving, the leader held Chen Fei's hand and said enthusiastically: "Although the filming is over, our friendship will not end. Mudanjiang always welcomes Director Chen.

If you have other film shooting plans in the future, please Director Chen must come over, we will always cooperate..."

The publicity effect brought by a well-known director is no less than that of a well-known first-line star. In particular, Chen Fei himself is both an actor and a director. He is a hot commodity in the eyes of tourism bureaus everywhere.

If one day he suddenly announced that he was going to shoot a tourism promotional video, all the provinces would scramble for it!
In the afternoon, except for the relevant staff, all the main creative team of the crew went to the airport by bus.

Because there were so many people, Chen Fei simply arranged for the company to charter a few planes to bring them all back at once, thus avoiding all kinds of trouble in the process.

When they landed in the capital, as expected, the crew was stuck at the airport.

However, because security had been arranged in advance, everyone was not affected and left the airport smoothly through the VIP channel.

"After attending the wrap party tomorrow, I will be preparing to go to film One Step Away. If you are free, feel free to come visit the set."

Jiang Wen was casually chatting about his new movie in the car, and everyone gave him their congratulations at the appropriate time.

The success of "Let the Bullets Fly" came not long ago, and many people felt that his second film "One Step Away" would also be a great success.

Even Jiang Wen himself thought so, which is why he handled everything from investment to production by himself.

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly thought of something and quickly reminded him, "By the way, Director Jiang, I suggest that if you have time, you should apply for the World Heritage status for Let the Bullets Fly."

"what?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen and everyone in the car were stunned.

What kind of operation is it to apply for a movie to be listed as a World Heritage Site?
"Why? What's the point of applying for World Heritage status?" Jiang Wen was also confused.

Chen Fei reminded with a smile: "If you have time, you can go to Youku's secondary creation section. There are many movie memes and famous scenes there. The film materials have been widely used in secondary creation and applications, and have even spread to South Korea."

As soon as Jiang Wen heard the word "South Korea", his expression suddenly became serious.

"You're right. We really need to apply for World Heritage status. Otherwise, it's very likely to be snatched away by people from other countries, especially those Koreans..."

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter in the car. That group of Koreans was notorious in the country.

Today they are fighting for Li Bai, tomorrow they are fighting for Qu Yuan, and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, according to them, all of them came from them.

When it comes to shamelessness, the Koreans are among the worst in the entire Asia.

Chen Fei has even arranged for someone to apply for World Heritage status for "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This drama has also been used by many people for secondary creation and application on Youku. In order to avoid copyright disputes in the future, it is necessary to take out "insurance" in advance.

……

The next morning, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" held a grand wrap-up party in the capital, and all the main creative staff of the crew were present.

Many media and reporters were not invited to the previous launch conference, and the fact that they were not allowed to visit the set during filming made many people curious about the film. Therefore, at today's wrap-up banquet, almost all the media in the capital were present.

When Chen Fei got out of the car, he saw a sea of ​​guns and cannons!
He had thought that there might be a lot of media reporters, but he didn't expect there would be so many!
Looking around, there was simply a sea of ​​people. A group of security guards were trying hard to maintain order, but they seemed so powerless in the face of the surging crowd.

"Here he comes! Look! Director Chen is here!"

As a shout was heard, reporters at the scene swarmed in and blocked Chen Fei directly next to the car door.

Liu Yifei, who was following behind, was originally planning to get off the car, but there was no space for her to stand.

Helplessly, she could only wait in the car.

The fat and strong security guards at the scene formed a protective line for Chen Fei so that he could answer the interviews from reporters.

"Everyone, please be patient. I can answer a few questions first. We will have time and opportunities after we enter the venue. There is no need to crowd in here..."

Chen Fei shouted loudly, barely suppressing the restless atmosphere at the scene.

The reporter of the Sixth Princess ran very fast and now occupied the first echelon. She asked, "Director Chen, according to the press release issued by China Film, the essence of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is actually a combination of "main theme" and "commercial film", right?"

"Yes." Fade Chen nodded without hesitation.

The reporter asked again: "What do you think about combining mainstream films with commercial films? Can such films achieve good enough box office results? Recently, a large number of film critics and experts have claimed that mainstream films and commercial films are completely different styles, and preaching and entertainment are two completely different parallel lines..."

Chen Fei had anticipated this.

He smiled and responded: "When I was making science fiction films and founded a special effects production studio, some people said that domestic science fiction films could not gain a foothold in the mainland market, but I still did it without hesitation.

And now the facts have proved that my idea is correct, which can be seen from the box office performance of Gravity. "

As he spoke, he suddenly shouted: "Nothing is difficult in the world if you set your mind to it. If you don't try bravely, how can you be sure that you will succeed?

I'm going to say this today: teaching and entertainment can definitely be combined together, and I have every confidence that I can do it!"

In many people’s impressions, mainstream movies cannot have high box office unless they have policy support and private screenings.

This can be seen from "The Great Earthquake" and "The Founding of a Republic".

And now, Chen Fei suddenly claimed that he could push main-theme movies to the top of the box office list, which is tantamount to a protest against many experts and scholars!

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more excited.

Someone else asked, "Director Chen, what is your box office forecast for this movie?"

Chen Fei didn't even think about it and said bluntly: "Guaranteed 10 billion!"

After hearing this astronomical figure, the eyes of the reporters at the scene lit up instantly.

The first important material of the day is freshly released!

……

The wrap-up party was very successful, everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was naturally joyful.

However, when it came to the formal press interview session later, many people were sweating profusely due to the direct questions!
These reporters are really mean. They ask all kinds of sharp questions as if they are free. If you are not careful, you might be caught by them.

"Yifei, according to director Guo Jingming, he once sent you the script of Tiny Times and wanted to invite you to play a role in it, but you rejected it in the end. I wonder why?"

Liu Yifei is naturally familiar with this kind of problem.

"Because the schedule was not suitable and I had other work at the time, I declined."

"So what do you think of the movie Tiny Times? Do you think this type of movie has any elements that are not in line with people's values?"

When this question came up, Chen Fei, who was being interviewed nearby, secretly broke into a cold sweat for Liu Yifei.

The damn reporter obviously couldn't hold back his fart and threw out a fatal question!

However, Liu Yifei reacted quickly and responded immediately: "I'm sorry, because I'm too busy with filming, I haven't had time to watch the movie, so I can't answer your question."

"clever!"

Chen Fei silently gave her a thumbs up.

Not only Liu Yifei, but others also suffered a series of "fatal questions".

Someone asked Jiang Wen what he would do if his second movie failed at the box office?
At the same time, some people questioned Liu Dehua, asking him whether he had given up control over the script for the sake of high pay, otherwise how could he make a bad movie like "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?

Of course, the most incisive and stimulating questions came from Han Sanping.

"Director Han, what was your mindset and purpose in playing the role of 'Zuoshan Diao'? What was the reason why Director Chen invited you? What was your opinion of this role during the entire filming period?"

There really are people who are not afraid of death!
Chen Fei glanced at the reporter's microphone and silently memorized the name of the newspaper.

Daring to use your ultimate skill right up against the "Zuoshan Diao" is really extraordinary courage!

However, Han Sanping has been a leader for so many years, so naturally she would not lose her image or even break down just by a few questions.

He smiled and replied, "I personally support mainstream films very much, and it is my unshirkable responsibility to support domestic films, so of course I will not refuse.

Moreover, this role is quite interesting and has greatly satisfied my expectations and aspirations for my acting career.

If there are suitable roles and opportunities in the future, I will definitely continue to devote myself to the acting career and strive to bring wonderful performances to fans and moviegoers..."

The response was flawless and left no chance for reporters on the scene to exploit any loopholes.

Chen Fei listened from the side with a smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart:
"You weren't in this state when you received the invitation for the role! You started to chase me away on the spot. If I hadn't visited you three times, how could I have invited such a great god like you?"

……

The interview lasted for almost an hour before it came to an end.

When everyone had left, Fade Chen got into Han Sanping's car and drove towards the outer ring road.

"Boss Han, you can finally tell me now, right? Who are you going to take me to see?"

In the car, Fade Chen looked at Han Sanping with some doubt and curiosity.

When the banquet just started, Han Sanping found him and asked him not to leave after it was over, but to go and meet someone together.

But Han Sanping did not say who this person was, instead he played tricks on him.

At this point, Chen Fei's curiosity had reached its peak, and he already had a vague guess in his mind that urgently needed confirmation.

"Young people just can't keep their cool." Han Sanping first complained about him, then explained: "I'll take you to meet the next helmsman of China Film, La Peikang."

The car was still moving forward, but the interior was plunged into silence.

Many memories about this new leader emerged in Chen Fei's mind.

Vice President of China Film Import & Export Branch, Vice Chairman of the head office, General Manager of the co-production company...

Chen Fei was very familiar with this person. Most of the films imported into China by Walt Disney Studios were produced by him, including "Pacific Rim".

According to the information he had learned, China Film Corporation had quite a few deputy directors, and this one was able to come to power, obviously because he had his own connections and means.

At this time, Han Sanping in the car suddenly said leisurely: "You have to be prepared first. If nothing unexpected happens, imported films will surge in the next few years, and there will no longer be any domestic film protection month in the future."

Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what happened years ago. He was quite surprised and asked: "Didn't you win the lawsuit?"

"I did win the lawsuit, but I retired."

Han Sanping shrugged. His tone was calm but somewhat lonely.
