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

Chapter 671: The big brother who can’t be made popular, is it because the radicals are too conservative?

Bona has actually had a miserable time in the past two years.

Previously, because of accepting Hua Xia Star, the company launched two bad movies in succession, causing its stock price to plummet.

Even during this year's Lunar New Year holiday, Bona, a listed company, did not choose to follow suit, but instead quietly watched Feiyue Pictures and Huayi compete.

However, Yu Dong is not an ordinary person.

The fact that he was able to build up Bona and successfully list it on NASDAQ proves that his intelligence and means are much superior to those of ordinary people.

So, when the company's performance plummeted in 2013, he finally brought out his trump card.

That morning, he and Han Han held a media conference in the company's conference hall, officially announcing that the two parties will work together to create brilliance in the future!
That afternoon, media reports came out all at once:
"Bona joins hands with young writer Han Han to launch a masterpiece for the big screen!"

"It is reported that this will be Han Han's first crossover, a new journey from writer to director. He will direct his big screen debut "See You Tomorrow" which was written by himself!"

"After Guo Jingming, another young writer has crossed over and embarked on a road full of thorns."

"Yu Dong said at the press conference that 'See You Tomorrow' will be cautious in casting, only choosing the right actors with good acting skills, rather than actors with big names but poor acting skills."

"Han Han said at the press conference that his idol is Director Chen Fei. On the road of screenwriting and directing, he will always follow Director Chen Fei's footsteps, not seeking to be shoulder to shoulder, but only to look forward..."

The emergence of Guo Jingming has undoubtedly set a good example for the "writer world".

It has been rumored in the industry that Han Han will also become a director, but unfortunately no one has confirmed it.

Now with the media conference starting, Han Han is naturally announcing to the outside world "I'm here".

What’s interesting is that Yu Dong also took the opportunity to mock Guo Jingming, which immediately attracted a lot of attention!

Han Han and Guo Jingming have always been competitors with each other, and now both have crossed over from the novel circle to the director circle, which has undoubtedly given many fans a new direction to start the war.

For a moment, fans of the two groups heard the news and immediately started a fierce confrontation on the Internet.

Chen Fei really didn't expect that Han Han could actually take advantage of the popularity on himself.

Looking at the various insults under his personal Weibo account, he just found it quite funny.

It is obvious that both parties are targeting the 'fan group' market, and if nothing unexpected happens, the box office of Han Han's debut film will not be too bad.

In addition, Jia Zhangke had previously said that he would make a cameo appearance, which confirms that the quality of this film will definitely not be worse than "Tiny Times".

Right now, the debate between fans of both sides can only be considered minor, but when the movie is officially released, there will probably be an even more sensational debate!

"Times have really changed! Before, only good actors could become directors, and those who were not so good would switch to being directors from photography, art, or screenwriting. Now, even novelists have come to become directors! It's really eye-opening!"

Listening to Jiang Xueruo's sigh, Fade Chen smiled and said, "What's the big deal? The president of the United States is an actor and a director. It's not surprising that a novelist switched to being a director."

"Ah? The president is also an actor?"

"Hmm, what do you think?" Chen Fei said in a joking tone, "Being the president is not easy. In addition to supporting the family, you also have to save money to hire bodyguards. Otherwise, you are likely to be assassinated. The financial pressure is no less than that of ordinary people..."

His words left Jiang Xueruo confused. Is Hollywood so magical?
The two were chatting when Zheng Xiaolong, who was behind the director's chair, suddenly picked up the megaphone and shouted to the set: "Cut! I declare that the TV series Red Sorghum has officially finished filming!"

The next second, cheers suddenly rang out at the scene, and all the staff shouted in ecstasy, venting their hard work for the past three months.

"Come on, we can get through now."

Fade Chen waved to Chen Fei and walked towards the crew first.

"Finally the filming is finished. I can go home for the New Year!" Zhou Xun changed his crying look during the filming and shouted carefreely.

"What kind of New Year are you celebrating as a single guy? Do you think you are Zhu Yawen? She has a wife to take her home, do you have a husband?"

Chen Fei's words immediately caused Zhou Xun to roll her eyes and grimaced. If there weren't so many people at the scene, she would have taken action!

"Sister Xun, don't be angry. Why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year? I'll let Jiani cook for you."

Zhu Yawen hugged his wife, baring his teeth, and looked very happy.

"You're going to kill the dog, right? Get out! Get out! Get out! All of you! What's wrong with me being single? I enjoy my freedom alone. I'm going to the Maldives tomorrow and I'm not coming back!"

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Zhou Xun almost rolled his eyes.

That evening, the crew of Red Sorghum announced the news that the filming had been completed and also held a wrap-up dinner.

The next day, the related news appeared on the front page of entertainment news.

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance on the set of Red Sorghum to congratulate the series on its completion and shared a wrap-up dinner with all the crew members."

"Director Zheng Xiaolong excitedly announced that Red Sorghum is expected to premiere on Youku in the second half of the year, so please stay tuned."

"Shen Jiani showed up at the set of Red Sorghum to welcome Zhu Yawen home. It was revealed that the two will go to Sanya for vacation to make up for the missing honeymoon period."

……

Chen Fei went there that day and flew back to the capital that evening.

However, as soon as he landed at the airport and turned off the airplane mode on his phone, he found a missed call in the caller ID column.

After thinking about it, he called back.

"Hello? Director Yang?"

"Mr. Chen was on the plane earlier, right? Haha, I was wondering why I couldn't get through on the phone."

The two chatted for a while, and only got down to business more than ten minutes later.

"Mr. Chen, I called you this time to ask, when would be the best time to release the fourth installment of the Ip Man series?"

"Ip Man 4"?
Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and replied subconsciously: "The third part has just been released. It will take at least a year to collect all the peripheral income from the third part. It's not good to be too hasty, which will cause certain damage to the subsequent potential of the movie."

"Oh, I see. All right then."

Yang Shoucheng didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.

Looking at the interface for ending the call, Fade Chen suddenly felt confused.

"What's going on? Aren't you preparing to shoot 'The Man from Macau 2'? Why did you suddenly call me to talk about 'Ip Man 4'?"

With doubts in his mind, Chen Fei opened the entertainment news website and checked Ying Huang's recent status.

Soon he discovered that on the 3rd of this month, Ying Huang actually invested in, produced and released a movie called "Fire Heroes"!

The film starred Nicholas Tse, the top star in the British and Huang industries, but the box office performance was quite disappointing.

The box office on the first day was 753 million, but it has only grossed over 6000 million since its release, and the daily increase in box office has fallen below 50, and the film is always at risk of being removed from the screen.

After seeing these messages, Chen Fei finally understood why Yang Shoucheng suddenly called to inquire about the situation of "Ip Man 4".

If nothing unexpected happens, half of the money earned from "Ip Man 3" will probably be spent on "Fire Heroes".

For the company's future operations, continuing to invest in more profitable films is undoubtedly the best option.

Sometimes, Chen Fei was actually quite puzzled.

He really didn't understand why Ying Huang was so keen on supporting Nicholas Tse. After all, this guy never seemed to show that he could carry the box office from the beginning to the end.

It’s just a pity for Mr. Chen. If he hadn’t retired, his chances of rising again would definitely be much higher than Nicholas Tse!
The latter, apart from having some ability in playing villains, is really not qualified to be the leading actor in a movie.

……

Several movies preparing to compete in the Spring Festival period are being promoted vigorously. There are no blockbusters to be released in the near future, which gives opportunities to other low-budget movies.

That morning, Chen Fei actually saw a movie called "Balala the Fairies: The Magic Trial".

When he saw those gorgeous makeups, he felt an inexplicable sense of shock!
When did it all start? Are all the demons already dancing wildly?

This is the case in the film industry, and the TV industry is not far behind. That afternoon, Yu Zheng, who is known as the "originator of remakes of bad dramas", personally attended the opening ceremony of the new drama to promote it.

With the support of Xingguangcanlan, the relevant news quickly occupied the front page headlines.

"The costume TV series "Legend of Ban Shu", jointly produced by CCTV, Dongyang Film and Television, Starlight Brilliant and other companies, and produced and filmed by Yuzheng Studio, has officially started filming at Hengdian World Studios."

"First-line actress Jing Tian joins a TV series for the first time and will play the heroine "Ban Shu", showing her feminine charm."

"The actors who partnered with Jing Tian include Zhang Zhehan, Fu Xingbo, and Li Jiahang, all of whom are well-known artists in the industry."

"It is reported that the investment in the drama is close to nine figures. One of the main scenes, the school, was filmed in Han Street in the Qin Palace scenic area in Hengdian World Studios. The cost of making this scene was more than 100 million yuan. In addition, the drama also has a palace scene in the Huaxia Culture Park studio."

"Jing Tian said in an interview that she made a lot of efforts to play this role well. Not only did she have to speak classical Chinese, but she also had to use it freely and skillfully when teaching. It was extremely difficult!"

Looking at a bunch of news on the Internet, people in the industry once again felt the power of "resource guys".

Whenever she appears on screen, she is either the leading female role or an important supporting role in a big production. The amount of resources supplied is simply amazing!

Someone made a simple statistics and found that Jingtian has already confirmed three projects this year.

In addition to "The Legend of Ban Shu", there is also a domestic film "The Man from Macau 2" and the Sino-US co-production "Pacific Rim 2".

In addition, there are countless high-end luxury endorsements and brand activities.

Many people suddenly discovered that it seemed that the Starry Sky company was opened specifically for Jing Tian alone, just so that she could go faster and further in the entertainment industry!
The gun is always aimed at the one who "sticks out". Overnight, the negative information about Jing Tian suddenly increased.

Lu Zheng didn't ask for help or anything, so Chen Fei naturally wouldn't go over to him with a smug look on his face.

It just so happens that the company is preparing to hold its annual meeting in the next two days, and he, as the chairman, is very busy!

"Xixi, how about... just stop here for tonight? We still have a lot to do tomorrow, why don't we take a rest first?"

At 4 o'clock in the morning, facing the slender beautiful legs that kept wrapping around him, Chen Fei really couldn't stand it anymore.

Since around ten o'clock in the evening, the two of them have almost never stopped and have been fighting until now!
"No!" Liu Yifei stretched out her hand, pushed back the wet hair that was clinging to her forehead, and said while biting her teeth, "I want to make sure you don't do anything bad within three days."

Liu Yifei was not planning to attend Feiyue Film and Television's annual party because she wanted to go back to her hometown with Liu Xiaoli.

However, considering that there will definitely be a lot of vixens from South Korea at tomorrow's annual meeting, she plans to drain Chen Fei dry in advance to ensure that he will not be seduced by those vixens.

"I can't do anything bad anymore."

Chen Fei smiled bitterly. The intensity of this exercise was too high. He even wondered if his skin would swell tomorrow...

After taking a look, Liu Yifei nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll let you go today. When I come back, we'll continue..."

Before she could finish her words, she fell into a deep sleep after touching the pillow.

For someone who has to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day, staying up late to work is undoubtedly a huge test. Fortunately, Liu Yifei exercises every day, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.

……

What is different from last year is that in addition to South Korean girl groups such as Girls' Generation, f(x), and T-are, Feiyue Film and Television's annual meeting this year also includes some domestic singers.

When singers such as Jay Chou, JJ Lin, and Xu Song appeared at the annual meeting one by one, they immediately attracted the attention of countless media.

The annual meeting lasted for four hours, with relevant media reporting the facts both inside and outside the venue, attracting the attention of many netizens.

At this moment, the hot search headlines on Weibo have already become "Feiyue Film and Television Annual Meeting".

Under the hot search terms, many people are participating in discussions and heated debates:
"Wow, these long legs that fill the entire screen are so pleasing to the eyes."

"These South Korean girl groups are really good at dancing. Every move seems to touch my heart. Oh yeah! Please dance on my heart!"

"The brother upstairs is a bit too much, hey, lick Jiyeon's feet for me."

"Song Qian is so beautiful! She is my goddess! I want to order a doll based on her..."

"What the hell? There's even a Jay Chou theory? This is too big a deal, isn't it? How much money does it cost to invite so many domestic and foreign celebrities?"

The annual meeting officially came to an end at 12 o'clock, but the online discussion about the Feiyue Film and Television Annual Meeting has not stopped.

When the figure of 2000 million was announced, there were exclamations from the industry and even the entire Internet!
"It's just an annual meeting, but they spent more than 2000 million. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"As expected, they are the first company in China to produce a movie with a box office of over 20 billion. This is really awesome!"

"I'm convinced. I'm really convinced. Isn't Director Chen too cruel?"

……

In order to lead the Spring Festival box office, Chen Fei no longer cares about the lives of other companies. In the past few days, the name "Feiyue Film and Television" has been dominating the hot search headlines of major entertainment news websites.

On the morning of the second day after the annual meeting, the crew of "The Martian" announced that it would hold a grand premiere event at the Bird's Nest and invite stars, artists and actors from the entire domestic entertainment industry to watch the movie.

The entire Bird's Nest venue has a total of 91000 seats, and it's open until full!

When this news was announced, the entire domestic entertainment industry was shocked!

Who the hell has ever seen this kind of gameplay before?

It was just a premiere of a movie, but they invited more than 90000 people to watch it. Are they trying to restart the 08 Olympic Games?
At one time, countless people called to verify!

"We're not inviting everyone. We've already prepared a list in advance, which includes our partners over the years and their families, as well as our actors and artists, actors, production companies, and management companies we've worked with. We'll also give feedback benefits to some of the audiences and fans who have been supporting Feiyue Films' works in recent years..."

In the whole morning, Chen Fei received calls from many companies including the Space Administration, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda, and the Film Bureau.

Chen Fei had already informed his partners in advance that he wanted to make the premiere of "The Martian" bigger in scale.

At first, the group led by Han Sanping had no objections.

When it comes to movie premieres, the bigger the better.

But what they didn't expect was that Chen Fei would make such a big deal that he wanted to hold the premiere at the Bird's Nest and even invite the entire domestic entertainment industry to watch the movie!

This is an extraordinary amount of money!

That afternoon, summoned by his superiors, Chen Fei appeared in Tong Gang's office.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, he was surprised to see a group of film and publicity leaders including La Beikang.

A group of people stared at him with sharp eyes, as if they were going to have a three-court trial, it was so grand!
Facing these people, Fade Chen was not at all timid. After he sat down, without waiting for others to ask, he directly stated why he wanted to hold such a grand premiere.

"The Taking of Tiger Mountain has already grossed over 21 billion yuan, and if nothing unexpected happens, it should have no problem breaking 22 billion yuan on the day it's officially released.

Since a mainstream commercial film with an investment of only 1.5 million yuan can achieve such a high box office result, then logically speaking, the science fiction blockbuster "The Martian" with an investment of 7.5 million yuan should not be worse than it, right?

The reason why I want to make the premiere so big is to tell the world that our domestic science fiction films are not bad either!

Therefore, in addition to inviting many people from the domestic film and television circles to watch the movie, I will also go to Hollywood to send out invitations, welcoming a number of Hollywood superstars and famous directors to participate in the global premiere of "The Martian".

I am no longer satisfied with the 20 billion RMB domestic box office, my new goal will be a 30 billion RMB domestic box office!"

Chen Fei's speech lasted nearly twenty minutes.

When he passionately shouted out the number "30 billion", a group of people including Tong Gang had bright eyes, as if they had seen the arrival of the "new era in the history of domestic films".

"Just go for it, we'll support you fully."

When Tong Gang said this, Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction.

Sometimes you just have to give these people a leg up.

They keep shouting that they are radicals. In the eyes of Chen Fei, a conservative, these radicals' daily behavior is too conservative and he can't stand it anymore.

How can you beat Hollywood without giving it a try?
