It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 656 Hey? Protecting the food? How dare this guy!
Chapter 656 Hey? Protecting the food? How dare this guy!
There is no National Day Golden Week in Hollywood, so apart from "Captain America 10: The Winter Soldier" and "Logan 2", there are no other blockbusters worth paying attention to in October.
After selecting for a long time, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei decided to go see "Despicable Me 2" produced by Universal Pictures.
The ultimate showdown between the Minions and the Purple Men is quite an interesting story.
Chen Fei also heard that Deng Chao was chosen as the voice actor for the Mandarin version. Considering this guy's comedic talent, he should be able to give domestic audiences a surprise.
……
More than 20 days later, "Ip Man 3" unsurprisingly broke the 10 billion box office mark while leading the entire National Day box office.
Because of the "Zhao Zhen dispute", "Special Identity" naturally became the object of comparison.
The former earned over 3 million in the first three days of the weekend, while the latter only earned a pitiful 6000 million.
Once compared, the difference is obvious!
Zhen Zixuan doesn't seem to have given up and is still working hard to promote the film. On the one hand, he praised the excellence of "Special Identity" and on the other hand, he said that the "Ip Man" series was completely made popular by him, otherwise it would not have achieved such excellent box office results.
He tried very hard to maintain his worth and status, but unfortunately, under the influence of many bad movies, his actions were completely in vain.
On the other hand, after more than 20 days of hard work, the box office performance of "Dragon King of the Capital of Gods" successfully exceeded 5.5 million.
Wang Zhonglei was quite proud of himself, and said in front of the media: "There are still nearly 10 days until the release of "Shendu Dragon King", and our goal is to have a box office of 7 million!"
It is obvious that Huayi is preparing to make a concerted effort to break the "6.9 million" curse created by "The Great Earthquake".
Although "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has already exceeded 6.9 million, it is after all the product of cooperation between Huayi and Star Shine, and not produced exclusively by them.
"Dragon King of the Gods" happens to be an exclusive production of Huayi. If the box office can reach 7 million, this curse will be officially broken.
……
After finishing the pile of work at hand, Chen Fei appeared on the set of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay".
The cast and crew are still the same familiar faces, including Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson...these are all actors selected by Chen Fei himself.
Of course, the main reason why he appeared here today was for Wen Ziren.
According to Natasha, this guy has become completely obsessed. Not only does he eat and live with the crew, he even occasionally shoots day and night.
The actors have already started to complain, and some have even reported it to the Actors Guild.
The union has already issued a notice and a fine. If this situation continues, the filming of the crew will most likely be stopped.
Hollywood is different from China. The Actors Guild here has great power. Whenever an actor is treated unfairly on the crew, the union will take action at the first moment.
When he saw Wen Ziren, Fade Chen was immediately frightened by his dark circles and heavy eye bags.
"How many days have you been up? Why are there such dark circles under your eyes?"
"Fei, you're here."
After responding weakly, Wen Ziren looked at the script in his hand and fell into deep thought again.
Fade Chen tried to make his tone gentler and asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties? I heard that you have been up all night for several nights."
"call!"
After letting out a long sigh, Wen Ziren said in some confusion: "I was worried about how to shoot the scene that exposes the hypocritical face of the female president.
If the script is followed, the hypocritical face of the female president will deceive many people, and even until her death, there may be people who still love and worship her..."
Listening to Wen Ziren's words, Fade Chen quickly focused his attention on the script.
The two discussed this plot for a long time. Finally, Chen Fei made a suggestion: "Why don't you exaggerate the scene of Katniss's sister's death? Tear up beautiful things for the audience to see, and let them feel the evil hidden deep inside about the female president. This will definitely make the fans empathize..."
Half an hour passed in a flash, and when the conversation between the two ended, the doubts and sorrows lingering between Wen Ziren's brows had disappeared.
"Fei! Thank you very much for your guidance. Now I know how to proceed with the next shoot!"
Chen Fei's advice was like an enlightenment to Wen Ziren.
This nearly two-hour conversation not only solved many difficulties in the filming, but also designed a very perfect and satisfactory ending.
For a moment, Wen Ziren's confidence in filming soared!
Chen Fei smiled at him and said, "As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Sometimes, if you just put yourself in someone else's shoes, many problems can actually be easily solved.
And in my opinion, it is also very important to keep a clear mind at all times. Your current state is too bad. You can’t make a good movie under such circumstances..."
After a lot of deception and coaxing, Wen Ziren finally left the crew and prepared to go home and have a good rest.
The other crew members were also very tired recently, so Chen Fei simply gave everyone a day off to let them go back and have a good rest and adjust their state.
When he announced this decision, there was a burst of warm cheers at the scene!
Several young actresses even rushed up to him excitedly, intending to give him a kiss.
However, under the threat of Liu Yifei's eyes, they quickly regained their composure and did not dare to move forward.
On the way back in the car, Fade Chen joked with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so fierce. Those little actors were so glared at by you that they didn't dare to come over."
"Humph!" Liu Yifei bared her teeth, pretending to be vicious, and snorted coldly: "They don't even look in the mirror. They are a bunch of ugly people. How dare they snatch my people? I'm really giving them face!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Chen Fei couldn't help laughing out loud.
This girl actually protected her food.
But at this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly said very seriously: "I am not the kind of ignorant person, and I will not stop you from going out for social events and contacting other women, but you must promise me that you must stay away from those questionable women. Good health is the most important thing. I don't want to go to the Mayo Clinic anymore. I don't like that place at all."
At this moment, the smile on Chen Fei's face suddenly froze.
He tilted his head slightly, looking at the girl leaning on his shoulder, and he felt inexplicably touched in his heart.
Reaching out his right hand, he reached around and held her shoulders. Fade Chen replied softly, "Okay! I promise you!"
Although she looks silly, she is not stupid.
Although Chen Fei has never had any scandals with any female stars or actresses in China, he has been surrounded by romantic interests in Hollywood.
Before the two got together, Liu Yifei had heard about and even seen in many entertainment reports various scandals between Chen Fei and European and American actresses.
She knew exactly what she should do. Since she had taken action, the "first wife" must be hers!
Judging from Chen Fei's response, her little trick was very successful.
This night is destined to be another sleepless night.
In a trance, Chen Fei even had the illusion that he was an animal?
"Xixi, it's already three in the morning. How about... let's take a break? I have other work to do tomorrow."
"Isn't the puppy barking anymore?"
Chen Fei: "..."
"I say, aren't you tired?"
"It's OK. I feel like I've gained weight recently. I can lose weight through 'exercise'. Besides, I can sleep until the afternoon tomorrow."
"..."
At this moment, Chen Fei finally understood the donkey in the production team when he was a child. No wonder it was listless every day and even had no interest in other female donkeys. It turned out that it was too tired!
……
Chen Fei pushed the morning's work directly to the next day. He thought to himself that he had to recover his energy first, otherwise it would be difficult to concentrate on the subsequent work.
However, when he woke up, it was already past one in the afternoon.
The moment he opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked to his side.
There was still fragrance on the pillow, but the person was gone.
After putting on his pajamas, Fade Chen walked out of the bedroom, and immediately saw Liu Yifei practicing martial arts in the training room with a long sword in her hand.
Looking at her energetic and healthy appearance, and feeling his own weak waist, Fade Chen suddenly fell silent.
What the hell is this guy doing with all these women? This one at home is enough to make him suffer!
If I keep doing this every night, I'm afraid I'll have to continue to add the "system" attribute to myself.
Turning into the bathroom and washing up, Chen Fei called Liu Yifei and went to the restaurant together.
The chef has already prepared lunch. Looking around, there are all kinds of oysters and abalone on the table, and even the porridge is made with wolfberries.
"Try it now. I asked my aunt to make this for me."
Miss Liu smiled brightly, but for some reason, Chen Fei felt that there seemed to be a "bone-eroding knife" hidden in her smile!
While eating, Chen Fei turned on the computer out of habit.
It is already late at night in China, but there are still many night owls discussing a topic on Weibo.
After taking a look, Chen Fei was shocked to find that Yang Zai had actually made a comeback with his Juli Pictures, which was about to go bankrupt!
Back then, because of the movie "Legend of White Snake", Juli Pictures not only offended Li Lianjie, but also made Huang Shengyi "crippled".
If the once glamorous star girl had not been lucky enough to recognize Zhao Benshan as her godfather, she might have been kicked out of the entertainment industry.
And now, what is shocking is that when Yang Zai was promoting the newly signed female artist of Giant Film, the title he used was actually "Little Huang Shengyi"!
This action not only amused people in the circle, but also confused netizens.
Recalling when Beijing Film Academy just started school last month, a lot of "little Fan Bingbing", "little Zhang Ziyi", "little Liu Yifei" and even "little Yang Mi" emerged in the circle.
But what the hell is this “Little Huang Shengyi”?
What shocked Chen Fei even more was that with that flat body and the pointed face that was obviously from plastic surgery, she was actually marketed as the "campus beauty of Beijing Film Academy"!
"What the hell??? How dare this guy???"
While Chen Fei was reading the netizens' replies, he was thinking about Yang Zi's thoughts.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't guess what this guy was trying to do?
Are you still fucking the campus beauty of Beijing Film Academy?
At this stage, how dare you, a small-time Karami from Giant Power Pictures, market such a name? Do you think you haven't offended enough people?
How is a newcomer who doesn’t even understand the principle that the first tree to stick its head out gets shot? How is he supposed to survive in this circle?
……
It was agreed that it would only take two days, and Huo Qigang actually did not exceed the time limit!
As night fell in North America, a call came in from across the ocean to Chen Fei.
"After some internal discussions and deliberations, the Film Union finally decided to remove Xiang Huaqiang from the position of president and directly voted on the spot to re-elect a new president.
"Transformers 4" has already started filming smoothly. All those gangsters who caused trouble on the set have been arrested. Those who deserve to be tried will be tried and those who deserve to be sentenced will be sentenced. There will be no leniency!"
Chen Fei was very surprised: "Huh? That's rare! The Film Union acted so quickly this time? Who is the new president? He's quite powerful. He was able to handle the problem in such a short time."
"I."
"Who?"
"I!"
"What the hell?!" Chen Fei was immediately amused: "You are really good, you actually got the upper hand."
"Hehe." Huo Qigang smirked. "The development direction that the old man originally planned for me was the cultural field. Golden Harvest Films has given me a lot of help. This time I have found such an opportunity again. Of course I have to seize it."
Chen Fei asked curiously, "Doesn't that mean that you will have the final say on the future development direction of Hong Kong's film and television industry?"
Huo Qigang explained: "I am just the president of a film union. I don't have such exaggerated power, but I will try my best to guide the Hong Kong film and television industry onto the right path..."
After chatting for more than half an hour, the two finally ended the call.
At this moment, Chen Fei felt inexplicably regretful.
He actually really wanted to see what Xiang Huaqiang's expression was like now, but unfortunately, he was in Hollywood and had no chance at all.
……
"Crack!!!"
In the huge office, porcelain was flying everywhere.
Xiang Huaqiang stood behind the desk, his chest heaving violently, his expression extremely brilliant.
In just a short moment, expressions of anger, astonishment, fear, and confusion appeared on his face one after another, just like the face-changing magic in opera.
He really couldn't understand why his position as the president of the Film Union was removed after just two days!
What frightened him the most was that he had no idea about all the details during this period.
All he knew was that the result was that he was "abandoned" by the film union.
And there is not even a legitimate reason or explanation!
Of course, this is not the most critical point. What really worries him is that those people who went to the "Transformers 4" crew to cause trouble seem to have a close relationship with him!
"Get them back! Hurry up and pay the bail! Send them all to the Philippines or Vietnam. At worst, send them to Japan or Singapore. Don't let them stay here and continue to cause trouble!"
Xiang Huaqiang angrily called his manager who was responsible for communicating about the "Young and Dangerous" business and asked him to deal with the matter quickly.
What era is it now? You are still using low-level means like collecting protection fees. You are simply tired of living!
"Boss, I've already contacted the police station. This incident has a huge impact, and the bail is not a small amount."
Xiang Huaqiang's face was very ugly: "So what do you mean? Just ignore them? Let those guys who only have muscles but no brains talk nonsense in there?"
"I'll make arrangements right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Huaqiang contacted Xiang Huasheng, who was in charge of the small movie business at Neon, and said straight to the point: "The company needs money now, a lot of money."
"I understand. I will return the money as soon as possible."
After Xiang Huasheng responded, he hung up the phone.
He was on the set of a small movie and without any hesitation, he took his eyes off the two actors who were "fighting" on the bed and went straight to the manager of the Neon branch.
"I need working capital, I need to open more film studios, I need more actors and external businesses, and related film companies."
Hearing this, the manager showed a tangled expression on his face: "Boss Xiang, what you said will take a long time to do.
Just the application of relevant formalities is an insurmountable hurdle, and the review here is very strict. There can’t be any mistakes in the later stage of mosaic, otherwise it will not pass the review at all..."
Xiang Huasheng's expression was gloomy: "Then we don't need to go through the formalities, we don't need mosaics, we can just go directly to the black market, wouldn't the profits be higher this way? Wouldn't the progress be faster?"
"But once we are discovered..."
Before the manager could finish his words, Xiang Huasheng suddenly broke into a rather crazy smile.
He interrupted the manager and said in an unquestionable tone: "Haven't you heard the saying? The brave will die of overeating, the timid will die of starvation, and the bystanders will die of greed.
How can you make quick money without taking risks? "
