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

Chapter 652 The end of the "Zuoshan Diao" era, follow the big guys and take off! Win all the way!
"Brother Chen Fei, President Wang, welcome..."

Inside the villa, Han Jianu was dressed very formally today with a faint smile on her face. She warmly welcomed every guest, showing the demeanor of a true lady from a noble family.

"Jia Nu, haha, where is Director Han? Why did he send you to welcome the guests today?"

Wang Changtian simply treated Han Jianuo as his own nephew, and although he was joking, there was no trace of provocation in his words.

"He is receiving other guests inside. You will be able to see him after you go in."

"Okay, then you go ahead and we'll go inside."

Wang Changtian said this and walked towards the inner field.

Chen Fei then asked, "Where's Liu Yifei? Didn't she come here with you? Why can't I see her?"

"Senior sister is also in the backstage, brother, you will see it after you go in."

"Okay, you're busy."

Today, Han Jianuo was the only one responsible for welcoming guests, so she was the first person all the guests saw after entering.

There is no need to guess, you know that this position must have been arranged by Han Sanping for her daughter.

From this moment on, "paving the way" has already begun.

After entering, Chen Fei and Wang Changtian separated.

Looking up and glancing around the venue, he soon spotted Miss Liu, who stood out in the crowd and behaved in a graceful and elegant manner.

Today she deliberately wore a white suit, like a career lady, and she looked quite capable, not as cute and sweet as she had appeared in the past.

Although there were many big names at the scene, Chen Fei's arrival still caused a small-scale discussion.

Many people kept looking sideways at him, and some even moved silently, either walking towards him or inadvertently moving away from him.

As soon as Liu Yifei saw Chen Fei coming, she immediately left Huanrui and Xiao Ma who were surrounding her and walked towards him quickly.

"Why are you so late?"

"There's a bit of a traffic jam on the road." Fade Chen said as he looked at her outfit: "Your makeup and style today are pretty good."

Liu Yifei raised her head: "Hehe, today I am Producer Liu."

As the two were chatting, Huanrui's CEO suddenly came over and greeted Chen Fei.

After a few casual greetings, the other party suddenly mentioned an incident that had recently caused a lot of controversy in the entertainment industry.

"Mr. Chen, the Television Association recently issued a proposal asking actors in the film and television industry to reduce their own pay. Since Feiyue Film and Television's TV drama business is so mature, I think you should have received it, right?"

"Yes, received."

Fade Chen nodded and did not deny it.

"So how are you going to deal with it?"

In recent years, Huanrui's main projects are still mostly TV dramas. In addition, it also has its own agency business, so it attaches great importance to this aspect.

The reason why I talked about this matter with Chen Fei was that I wanted to hear the opinions of the leaders in the industry.

Chen Fei didn't intend to play dumb with him, and asked directly: "Do you think anyone would be willing to take the initiative to reduce their income?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huanrui’s CEO understood instantly.

Chen Fei's meaning was very clear. He just had to pretend that this proposal did not exist. It would be strange if it could be promoted.

After a brief chat, Chen Fei led Liu Yifei towards Han Sanping.

The closer you get to the center circle, the more “acquaintances” you will meet.

All the top directors from the mainland and Hong Kong circles were here. Although they each have their own circles, and many of them have even competed with each other, they all behaved unusually "harmoniously" today.

What surprised Chen Fei the most was that Yu Dong was actually accompanied by the Peacock Princess!

The woman held the man's arm, feeling a sense of honor of "returning victoriously".

This scene made Chen Fei sigh with emotion: "Isn't this the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole is waiting behind?"

At first everyone thought that Yuan Li would succeed in getting this golden thigh, but they never expected that in the end it was successfully taken away by another mistress.

"Hey? Why are you late?"

As soon as Han Sanping saw Chen Fei approaching, she immediately started to joke.

Fade Chen didn't bother to be polite with him and immediately argued, "That's impossible. I came on time and I definitely won't be late."

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter all around, and Ren Zhonglun even took the lead in teasing, "Who is Director Chen? He is the current champion of the global box office rankings. Does he have the habit of arriving early?"

More than half an hour later, with all the guests arriving, this banquet with the three major connotations of "retirement", "birthday" and "paving the way" officially kicked off.

Taking the microphone handed over by the staff, Han Sanping walked up to the stage and made a brief opening speech:

"Thank you very much for coming to my retirement party today. Everyone present is an acquaintance, and we have had some work and personal dealings with each other. I hope that we can get together from time to time in the future like we do now, and have in-depth exchanges in work and life..."

The wine and delicious food were served and the banquet officially began.

Chen Fei sat at the main table, and next to him were Ren Zhonglun, Ye Ning, Wang Changtian, Yang Shoucheng and others.

In addition to these people who often cooperate with each other on weekdays, others such as Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong were also arranged to sit at the same table.

The main seat on Chen Fei's left was Han Sanping's seat, but he was currently receiving toasts and had no time to take his seat.

"I heard that you signed Jia Nu's graduation work?"

Ren Zhonglun's words attracted the attention of others at the table.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Yes, her thesis is based on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light". In addition to me, Ning Hao also signed it."

Ning Hao also came to the scene today, and brought his wife with him, but the two of them were seated a little further back.

"Some media outlets have reported that Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year? I don't know if it's true or not?"

Wang Zhonglei's sudden interruption made the several film and television company bosses at the table prick up their ears.

"I do have this idea." Chen Fei smiled slightly, but what he said made Wang Zhonglei's heart skip a beat!
If "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is really released during the Lunar New Year holiday, then "Personal Tailor" will be in danger!

The number of cinema chains is fixed. If a huge one suddenly comes in, it will inevitably infringe on the interests of others.

Wang Zhonglei was inexplicably annoyed, and his tone of voice could not help but rise: "The Martian is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, and Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy will also be released during the Lunar New Year. Is Mr. Chen not going to leave room for other movies?"

"Why do you say that, Mr. Wang?" Chen Fei pretended to be innocent. "This is just a mainstream movie. My goal is just to catch up with the 6.9 million of "Earthquake". And it is very likely that I will not catch up. How can it be a threat to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhonglei's face suddenly turned dark.

It has been several years, but the box office of 6.9 million yuan of "Aftershock" has always been ridiculed.

Including the delay time, the movie was released for as long as 40 days, but in the end it could not break the 7 million curse, which made the two Wang brothers very depressed.

Now Huayi has issued a clear ban on mentioning "The Great Earthquake" again, which has become a big pain for Wang Zhonglei.

But Chen Fei would not tolerate him and would rub salt into his wounds whenever he got the chance.

Thanks to Han Sanping who came over with his precious daughter and broke the deadlock, otherwise Wang Zhonglei would have been embarrassed again tonight.

"Everyone, starting today, I will officially step down as the chairman of China Film Group. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my daughter in the future."

After saying this, Han Sanping drank a glass of white wine without any hesitation.

Fade Chen blinked, feeling a little stunned.

He has known Han Sanping for so long, but this is the first time he has seen her drinking so heartily. He really wants to do this for his daughter.

But at this moment, Wang Zhonglei suddenly said, "Jia Nu hasn't signed with the company yet, right? Are you interested in staying at Huayi for a while? Director Feng and Director Gu are here. You can learn from them first..."

As soon as he said this, several people at the table looked at him as if he was a fool.

Although San Ye has retired, it does not mean that the era of "Zuoshan Diao" has come to an end. His reputation in the circle is still as loud as ever!
Letting his daughter go to that stinky mud pit of Huayi, isn't that going to harm him?
Han Sanping frowned slightly and was about to refuse on behalf of Han Jianu, but her daughter beat her to the punch: "Thank you for Mr. Wang's kindness, but I'm already planning to open my own studio, so I won't bother you."

"The studio can also be affiliated..."

"Well, I understand this. It has already been registered with Feiyue Film and Television Company in advance."

Wang Zhonglei: “…” The banquet lasted until 11 o’clock in the evening. When it ended, everyone went up to greet Han Sanping.

Only Wang Zhonglei walked out alone with his head down. Although his face was calm, his heart was filled with anger.

He was completely embarrassed tonight, as he was trampled on by Chen Fei and Han Jianu. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have left early.

However, after tonight, he no longer needs to give face to Han Sanping.

Although that mountain eagle has helped many people in the past few years, he has also offended many people. After he retires, there will definitely be many people who will cause trouble for him.

It is still unknown whether Han Jianuo's studio can gain a foothold in the circle!
"Hmph, the road is long and the mountain is high, let's wait and see, don't let me get the chance!"

……

Chen Fei did not leave early, but waited until all the guests had left before he and Liu Yifei came to the father and daughter.

"Director Han..."

"Hey, don't call me that anymore." Han Sanping interrupted with a smile, "You can call me Third Master, or just call me Zuoshan Diao."

"Then let's just call him Third Master."

Han Sanping can call herself a mountain eagle and make fun of it, but Chen Fei would not be so foolish as to call her that.

"I know what you want to say by staying here. Tomorrow morning, if you guys cooperate, we can promote this project together."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

After saying goodbye, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei left the villa together.

On the way, he made a special call to the company's financial director: "After work tomorrow, transfer the film remuneration of Han Sanping and Han Jianu to them as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Chen."

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has been completed for a long time, and except for these two father and daughter, everyone else's remuneration has already been received.

The reason why Chen Fei arranged to transfer the money to them now was mainly to prevent some unnecessary trouble.

After all, this is not a small amount of money. Suddenly receiving so much money will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

In order to retire smoothly, it is always better to be cautious, which is what Chen Fei and Han Sanping had discussed in advance.

……

Han Sanping's retirement banquet caused a lot of discussion in the circle, but neither the mainstream media nor the entertainment media reported the relevant content.

For these practitioners, there are some things that cannot be publicized because they are likely to bring about a catastrophic disaster.

Of course, there are some things that can be hyped up and are worth writing about!
For example, the new film project announced by China Film Group, Bayi Film Studio, Feiyue Films and Han Jianu Studio attracted much attention from the industry as soon as it was announced.

“The name of the film project: The Hundred Regiments Offensive.

Producers: Chen Fei, Han Sanping, Han Jianu.

Director: Han Sanping.

Assistant Director: Han Jianu.

Screenwriter: Chen Fei.

Cast: Tentative.

Producers: China Film Group, Bayi Film Studio, Feiyue Films, and Han Jianu Studio.

As some details about "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" were leaked, media reports quickly followed up:

Entertainment News: "The film project "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" jointly produced by China Film Group, Bayi Film Studio, Feiyue Film and Television, and Han Jianu Studio has been officially approved!"

Sohu: "It is reported that the movie "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" will be directed by Han Sanping, the former chairman of China Film Group."

Sina: "The film will be released in 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War!"

"..."

As the news continues to ferment, discussions in the industry are endless.

No one expected that Han Sanping would do such a thing today after just holding a retirement party yesterday.

"Is Director Han going to enter the director circle completely?"

Wang Changtian called Chen Fei directly, and his words were full of curiosity and expectation.

Guangguang is really short of good directors. If Han Sanping is really planning to enter the director circle, then maybe he can get some light in the future.

"He does have this idea, but as far as I know, he will focus more on mainstream films and won't pay too much attention to commercial films."

"Is that so..." Wang Changtian couldn't help but sigh: "Well, okay then."

As we all know, mainstream movies are difficult to succeed at the box office unless the bureau agrees to provide assistance in booking a single screening.

Even in the eyes of many people, Chen Fei's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" would also receive support from private screenings, otherwise how could he dare to shout out slogans like the box office will break 10 billion?
Huayi has been secretly preparing the relevant reporting documents.

To book a movie and release it during the Lunar New Year holiday, what else could this be but cheating?
The discussion about "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" in the circle is unlikely to die down in a short period of time, and many actors have already begun to inquire about related news.

For this kind of project, you have to actively participate even if you don't want to be paid. This is the best way to increase your own popularity, status, and influence!
……

Chen Fei did not focus on "The Hundred Regiments Offensive". This project was his "birthday gift" to Han Sanping, so naturally he had to handle it with full authority.

All Feiyue Film and Television needs to do is to transfer the money to the designated account at the appropriate time.

Chen Fei didn't even arrange a producer because he believed that Han Sanping would not do anything stupid.

This movie will establish Han Sanping's position in the mainstream film circle, and will also determine whether the rest of his life will be smooth and broad, or full of thorns.

I believe he will treat it seriously.

……

The seven-day National Day Golden Week passed by in a flash.

During this National Day, "Ip Man 3" demonstrated its power!
In the nine days since its release, the box office has successfully exceeded 6.9 million RMB, and the average daily new box office has remained above 7000 million, which is simply terrifying!
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Wenzhuo became the leading actor of a movie with a box office of 7 million yuan.

And the most important thing is that this movie will be released for the next 21 days.

Even though the box office trend will show a downward trend due to the arrival of weekdays, according to predictions, breaking 10 billion should not be a problem.

Zhen Zixuan has been discharged from the hospital, but the promotion of "Special Identity" has become very difficult.

Because every time he participated in an interview or roadshow, someone would mention the topic of "Ip Man" and Zhao Wenchao, which made him very uncomfortable.

The most terrifying thing is that in the several preview events held for "Special Identity", the audience's response was not particularly good.

Zhen Zixuan doesn’t even dare to think about what will happen to him if “Special Identity” fails at the box office.
Do you really want to be the leading actor in a Category III movie?

At the same time, with the end of the National Day Golden Week, "The Sun Also Rises", which was released in September, has also come to the end of its screening.

When the number "7.35 million" appeared in media reports, the overall temperature of the film and television industry seemed to drop several levels, because there were so many people gasping in shock!

As an art film, it not only won huge victories in awards, but also achieved incredible results at the box office.

This is fucking...all the good things are taken away!
At this moment, almost the entire film and television industry was marveling at Chen Fei's ability to make money, and the main creators of "The Sun Also Rises" could not hide their joy.

After all, the more popular the movie is, the more famous they will be, and their value and status will also rise accordingly.

"Following the boss, you can win without any effort!"

……

Before going abroad, Chen Fei attended the last event in China in October.

The film project "Black Coal, Thin Ice", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and produced by Chen Guofu, was officially completed on the 8th.

At the closing press conference, facing media interviews, Chen Guofu vowed that the film's plot and quality would surely wow movie fans!

Now that he was at the scene, Chen Fei naturally couldn't avoid the media interviews.

Facing the camera, he said very seriously: "Regarding the film "Black Coal, Thin Ice", I define it as a suspenseful crime film with an artistic plot. After the film is finished, I will arrange for Director Chen to take it to the Berlin International Film Festival to participate in the selection. Our goal is the glittering Golden Bear trophy!"
