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

Chapter 640: Demons are dancing wildly! My eyes!!!

"What did you say? Wang Baoqiang said he didn't have time? He refused to act in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"?"

Inside the studio of the production crew of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", Brother Chen Kai frowned deeply as he listened to Chen Hong's words.

As early as when the script was adapted, he had already decided on the actor for the role of "He Anxia", and it was Wang Baoqiang.

He even wrote a character description for the role:
He is a martial arts master, naive, kind and simple. He is the most powerful disciple in the Taoist temple, and therefore he was chosen by his master to go down the mountain. After going down the mountain, he successively worshipped Cui Daoning, Zhou Xiyu and Boss Cha as his teachers and studied martial arts hard. He is kind by nature, values ​​friendship and loyalty, has a clear distinction between love and hate, and pays attention to chivalry...

This role was tailor-made for Wang Baoqiang!

In "One Man's Martial Arts", Wang Baoqiang's martial arts skills made Chen Kai very satisfied.

In terms of acting, he has masterpieces such as "Mr. Tree".

From any perspective, he is the best choice for the role of "He Anxia".

But now the plan has been disrupted!
Brother Chen Kai never expected that Wang Baoqiang would not have schedule.

"Hasn't he only accepted the drama 'A Touch of Sin' recently? And it was banned by the General Administration, so how come he has no schedule?"

Brother Chen Kai looked at Chen Hong unwillingly, with a look of deep dissatisfaction on his face.

As one of the only two Palme d'Or directors in the country, and also having a huge network of contacts, he is very proud!

Since he started filming, he has rarely encountered an actor rejecting him.

And the fact that Wang Baoqiang would reject him was something he had never thought about.

Chen Hong shook her head helplessly: "You may not have paid much attention to the news recently. Feiyue Film and Television is preparing a new project, and Wang Baoqiang is the leading male role."

"Can't their project wait?"

Chen Hong was not surprised at all that Brother Chen Kai would say such a thing.

The couple have lived and worked together for so many years, and she understands her man's "proud" mentality very thoroughly.

Whether in life or work, Brother Chen Kai is a very domineering person who always keeps his word. It is not surprising that he would say something like stopping the work of Feiyue Film and Television's project.

However, Chen Hong herself is very clear about it.

Only the couple can talk about letting Feiyue Film and Television's project be shelved. If this gets out, people will laugh at them.

How could they have such ability just by themselves?
"I can't do it." Producer Chen Hong directly expressed her "incompetence".

"Let me ask."

Brother Chen Kai was very unwilling, so he picked up the mobile phone on the table and directly found Chen Fei's phone number.

The call was connected quickly, and the voice on the other end was a little noisy.

Brother Chen Kai didn't care about that and directly expressed his idea of ​​letting Wang Baoqiang play the leading role in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

The noise suddenly quieted down, and Chen Fei, who was visiting the set of "Breakup Guru", was stunned by what Brother Chen Kai said.

Did they call directly to ask for someone? Did they also say that the "Detective Chinatown" project should be postponed? Did they let Wang Baoqiang shoot "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" first?
Good man! How dare he?
Chen Fei was amused by his words and immediately retorted: "Director Chen, if you have a cold and a fever, I suggest you go to the hospital for an injection. I'm not a doctor and I can't cure your confused brain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fade Chen hung up the phone.

On the other side, Chen Kai's expression was very interesting.

Once upon a time, in the huge entertainment industry, almost no one rejected him!

But now?

Wang Baoqiang rejected him, and Chen Fei didn't give him any face at all, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face!

"Snapped!"

Brother Chen Kai angrily smashed the phone to the ground: "I just don't believe it. In such a huge entertainment industry, I still can't find a suitable actor?"

……

At this time, inside the crew of "Breakup Master".

Wang Changtian was standing next to Chen Fei just now, so he could hear the conversation very clearly.

When he heard Chen Fei scolding Brother Chen Kai, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and he didn't laugh until he hung up the phone, then he laughed out loud.

"Haha, you don't even give him any face!"

"I won't give him face." Chen Fei curled his lips and said, "Does he really think he's that important? He even delayed my project. I think he should make an appointment to see a psychiatric department."

"He is indeed a proud person." Wang Changtian agreed and revealed a secret to Chen Fei: "I heard that he also contacted Chen Long and Li Lianjie, but was rejected."

"Yeah, I heard about that, too."

Jiang Wen talked to him about this matter and said that Brother Chen Kai wanted to replicate the original cast of "The Forbidden Kingdom". Unfortunately, the great poet Chen overestimated his appeal, and the two of them didn't give him any face at all.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to the Hong Kong circle to look for someone."

"I think so too."

Among several big directors in the mainland, Chen Kai is the only one who likes first-line actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he usually lets mainland actors play supporting roles for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, which makes people feel very alienated.

Deng Chao was also there to provide a foil, but as he had just switched careers to become a director, he couldn't participate in such topics at all and could only listen with a bystander mentality.

However, he was still immersed in those words that Chen Fei angrily said to Brother Chen Kai, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

“Is this what big directors and big investors are capable of? They just attack anyone they dislike? Isn’t this too cool?”

However, just as he was imagining whether he would have such a day in the future, he heard Chen Fei's question:
"Isn't the heroine of your play Yang Mi? Where is she? Why can't I see her?"

Deng Chao was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly: "The filming of her drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has been postponed. It will take more than a week to finish filming. I have to shoot other people's scenes first."

"Tsk tsk, another drama?"

Chen Fei didn't know how to evaluate Yang Mi.

What a desperate woman!
……

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

Chen Fei had just left the crew of "Breakup Guru" not long ago, and rumors about him angrily criticizing Brother Chen Kai spread in the circle.

Jiang Wen, the gossipy man, called immediately and asked about the relevant news with great interest.

Chen Fei did not hide anything from him and told him roughly what happened.

"Good job on criticizing her. It feels so good to criticize her. Haha! Next time when the media interviews you, you should criticize her publicly..."

This is called watching the fun without minding the trouble, and Jiang Wen is a master of this.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Chen Fei clicked the refresh button on the entertainment website, and then saw that Yu Zheng Studio had released a casting announcement.

The new Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are "freshly released".

Out of curiosity, he clicked on it, and then... he was completely stunned!

It is no exaggeration to say that this casting by Yu Zheng Studio gave the entire entertainment industry a big shock!

This kind of shock is no less than suddenly seeing a pair of red embroidered shoes in the bathroom mirror at twelve o'clock in the morning!
"After careful consideration and selection by the team, after three rounds of auditions, we decided that actor 'Chen Xiao' will play Yang Guo, actress 'Chen Yanxi' will play Xiao Longnu, and actress 'Zhang Xueying' will play Guo Xiang...

The new version of The Return of the Condor Heroes has been decided to officially start filming at the end of this month, and the makeup photos of the main actors are as follows..."

"What the hell?! My eyes! Damn it!"

On the computer screen, Fade Chen was in a panic. He closed the webpage in a flash, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Lu Bu was invincible, but he never expected that there was a general in the world who was more brave than him!

This guy Yu Zheng really deserves to die!
Chen Fei almost got stye after looking at Chen Yanxi's makeup photo!
He did have an emergency response, but netizens were in trouble. They were all stunned and stood there in shock!
The others are okay, but the key is the most anticipated Little Dragon Girl, who is so damn shameless that it destroys one's worldview.

The four makeup photos released by Chen Yanxi, showing different angles and expressions, completely subverted all the fans of the original novel and the TV series, and it was rare to make everyone stand on the opposite side of her.

The Little Dragon Girl in everyone's mind has always been a beauties like Liu Yifei and Li Ruotong.

Mr. Jin Yong's original novel even described her as follows: "She was wearing a white dress that looked like a green gauze, as if she was in the mist. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Except for her black hair, her whole body was snow-white, and her face was extremely beautiful..."

But what is Chen Yanxi’s version of Little Dragon Girl like?
If Chen Fei were to describe her, it would be: "She was wearing a white dress that looked like a green gauze, like a pure and unworldly steamed dumpling. When she smiled, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and the gap between her teeth was clearly visible..."

It's simply... it's totally off the mark!
Countless netizens online have already started cursing, and looking around, you can't find a single word of praise.

At this time, the Weibo of Yu Zheng Studio and his personal Weibo, including the comment section of the director and Chen Yanxi's Weibo, have all been flooded.

"The young and lovely Chen Yanxi in 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' became popular all over Asia. I didn't expect that she would become popular again because of her chubby-faced version of Xiao Long Nu. Nowadays, martial arts remakes are getting more and more ridiculous. I can't bear to watch them!"

"Yu Zheng? Are you blind? Why did you choose such a little dragon girl? You are sick!"

"F*ck! Boycott! Strongly boycott! My eyes!!!"

"This is no longer Yang Guo's aunt Xiaolongnu, this is his real aunt, right? Isn't she too old?"

"No, I'm just wondering, Chen Yanxi, how shameless are you? How can you have the nerve to accept such a role?"

"So, it's really the unspoken rules?"

Netizens were heartbroken and distressed. They never expected that after waiting for so long, they would end up with such a huge pile of garbage.

In order to refresh their eyes, many people even found Liu Yifei's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" on Youku, ready to refresh their eyes.

Chen Fei chose to call Miss Liu herself to celebrate her birthday alone and to clear his eyes at the same time.

"What do you think of this little dragon girl's choice?"

After cutting a large piece of cake for Miss Liu, Fade Chen asked her opinion.

"whee."

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and giggled. She did not give a direct answer. Instead, she opened Weibo and found the new Weibo post by Zhang Da Huzi. She showed it to Chen Fei.

The bearded man was also upset by Yu Zheng's outrageous actions, and his new Weibo post was full of diss:
"In the original novel, Xiao Long Nu sleeps on a rope, but the one chosen by Yu Zheng is probably sleeping on an iron chain, right? And with her body type, can she perform such a nimble and graceful fighting scene? Don't make it look weird in the end..."

Although every remake of a Jin Yong drama will cause a wave of heated discussion about the casting of actors, this is the first time that someone like Yu Zheng has been targeted by the entire network.

What was unexpected was that in the face of the ridicule from the entire network, Yu Zheng had no intention of admitting defeat or apologizing. Instead, he responded publicly:
“I personally chose the role of Xiao Long Nu. I am very satisfied with her makeup and the character is designed 1:1 according to the refined version. I firmly believe that she can rival all previous versions of Xiao Long Nu!

Chen Yanxi was the 66th person selected out of 65 girls to have her makeup done for the role of Little Dragon Girl. After she had her makeup done, everyone at the scene felt that the role of Little Dragon Girl was very suitable for her, and I personally think so too!

There may be many doubts on the Internet now, but that is just your superficial opinion. Time will prove that my choice is the most correct one. Please wait and see!"

As expected, this wave of "hard-line" remarks once again ushered in a large number of boycotts from netizens.

But it is undeniable that this drama truly attracted the attention of the entire network and successfully achieved what Yu Zheng wanted by "becoming popular before it is aired."

The 'xiaolongbao' version of Xiaolongnu is quite rare!

As for the future ratings, we can only wait and see.

……

There are movies scheduled for release every day, but there are unexpectedly many in September.

"White Fox" starring Gillian Chung and Julian Cheung, "Crazy All the Way" starring Chen Sicheng and Bao Bei'er, "Escape Plan" starring Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle...

Looking around, many movies are scheduled to be released at the end of September, obviously aiming for the National Day holiday.

This year's National Day movie season is rare in that there are no big-budget movies, and everyone is trying to get a piece of the pie.

However, the appearance of two imported films, "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" and "Logan 2", added some twists and turns to the National Day holiday.

Compared with these imported blockbusters, domestic films really have a hard time standing out!
If you want to fight back, some low-budget movies will not be of any help at all. The key is to have "blockbuster" movies.

The General Administration probably also realized this, and around September, they suddenly called together the bosses of several well-known film and television companies in the industry and held another meeting.

Chen Fei originally thought that this was just a mobilization meeting, which was nothing more than gathering people, publicizing the General Administration's intentions, and expressing strong support for the filming of large-investment film and television works, and that was all.

But when he arrived at the scene, he realized that his previous thoughts were too naive.

Looking around, in addition to the well-known film and television company bosses, directors, producers, and large studio bosses in the circle, the bosses and persons in charge of major companies including Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Sohu, Youku, Mango, LeTV, etc. have all come to the scene!
Out of curiosity, Chen Fei found Han Sanping.

"Director Han, what is the order today? Why does it feel like something big is going to happen?"

Han Sanping obviously knew some inside information, but because she was about to leave, she acted calmly: "You will know later, there is a big 'surprise'!"

After taking their seats, the leaders arrived at the scene soon.

Chen Fei originally thought that the person presiding over the meeting was the leader of the Film Bureau, but he never expected that the person sitting down was actually the deputy in charge of the entire entertainment and cultural sector!

The first sentence he said made his eyes light up.

"This meeting is mainly to combat the phenomenon of 'piracy' in the film and television industry. I invited you all here today to listen to your opinions..."

Chen Fei's heart suddenly froze, and four words jumped out of his mind:
"finally come!"

He instantly understood why the heads of these Internet companies were involved today.

The key reason is that the Internet is one of the sources of piracy. If we want to truly combat piracy, we must take ruthless action on the Internet!

Moreover, this kind of blow is a very "good" thing for both film and television companies and Internet companies.

Cracking down on piracy can increase the revenue of film and television companies.

As for Internet companies...if they want to come in and produce by themselves, they must prevent their peers from copying their products!
For a time, a number of Internet companies led by Alibaba, Tencent, Sohu and others were extremely excited. The four words "actively speaking" were not enough to describe their behavior.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. At the end, after collecting enough opinions, the leader set the tone:

"In order to accelerate the development of the film and television culture industry and encourage Internet companies to enter the film and television culture industry... within one year at the latest, 'piracy' must be eradicated, and multiple departments must cooperate..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into warm applause!
Gu Yongqiang, who was sitting next to him, turned around and looked at Chen Fei excitedly, saying, "Mr. Chen, if piracy can be effectively eliminated, then Youku will be one of the biggest winners!"

Chen Fei nodded gently, approvingly, and reminded him: "If you want to become a leader in the industry, in addition to being large enough, content and user experience are also key..."

"I see."

Youku is the painstaking creation of Gu Yongqiang. No matter what, he will not let this "child" go astray.

At the end of the meeting, Chen Fei heard a lot of discussions.

Without exception, many bosses of film and television production companies are looking forward to the entry of Internet companies, eager to pour in money like the coal bosses did in the past.

Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that this group of people are not as stupid as the coal bosses back then.

The coal bosses' main focus is to do as they please. As long as the actress suits their taste, the crew can shoot the film however they want and they will never come forward to make comments.

But what about these Internet giants?

Chen Fei heard that since Alibaba invested in Chen Jingfei's "Legend of White Ghost: The Desperate Escape", a group of people have joined the project to control the progress and process of the project throughout.

A few days ago, Alibaba even expressed its intention to acquire the Hong Kong-listed company "Culture China", and the two parties are currently competing fiercely.

Once the acquisition is successful, the Internet company will officially enter the game!
By then, if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be chaos again!
