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

Chapter 682: The new challenge officially begins! One misstep... The feast begins that night!
With the conclusion of the Oscars ceremony, Hollywood's carnival has officially ended.

In the next few months, there will be a new period of competition, and many feature films and art films will inevitably compete for next year's Oscars.

After the award ceremony, Chen Fei originally planned to fly directly to Kuala Lumpur the next day, but because of the interview invitation from the Sixth Princess, he had to postpone it for a day.

On the morning of the second day after the Oscars, at the invitation of Chen Fei, reporters from the Six Princesses came to Walt Disney Studios.

In the office, the two of them were like ordinary friends, drinking tea and chatting.

"Director Chen, first of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Do you have any other goals planned for the future? After all, it seems that you have already won all the Oscars and the three major European awards."

Generally speaking, a director's golden creative period should be after the age of 40. By that time, both his experience and knowledge have reached their peak.

However, Chen Fei, at the age of less than 30, has achieved what countless directors cannot achieve in their entire lives.

From this point of view, it seems that he can already announce his retirement.

However, Chen Fei obviously didn't think so:
"My next goal is to help more Chinese actors go global, so that the voice of Chinese-language films can be heard all over the world.

The box office of domestic films is still too low. If we want to achieve full glory, there is still a long way to go in the future. In this regard, I will do my best to help more outstanding filmmakers realize their dreams and realize the rise of Chinese-language films..."

This paragraph is very official, but this is the effect that the Sixth Princess wanted.

The two chatted about the "rise of domestic films" for more than half an hour before changing the topic.

"Director Chen, since the filming of Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy ended, there have been no rumors in the industry about your new film plans. I wonder when you plan to direct again?"

"Since this matter has been brought up, I will briefly reveal it."

After organizing his words, Chen Fei replied, "The new film is expected to start shooting within a week. By then, I will co-direct it with the newly-minted Oscar-winning director Michael Mann, and together with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and other actors, it will tell a story about abandonment and redemption."

Hearing this answer, the Sixth Princess' reporter's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Abandonment, redemption", these words don't sound like the style of a commercial film.

She asked tentatively, "Is Director Chen preparing to continue his charge towards Oscar?"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "I won't reveal any more. You will know everything after the film is released."

Hearing this, the reporter of the Sixth Princess cleverly changed the subject.

An hour later, the interview officially ended.

Chen Fei sent the Six Princesses' reporters to the door of the company. After waving goodbye, he contacted the driver and the airport directly and prepared to set off for Kuala Lumpur in the afternoon.

This time, Liu Yifei will not go along.

The post-production of "Frozen" is very tight, and she will enter the audition and dubbing stage starting today, and this process is expected to last up to a month!

"The Revenant" is a man's drama, so there is naturally no need for her to participate in it.

……

After arriving in Kuala Lumpur, Chen Fei met up with Flory who came to pick him up at the airport.

"Come on, let's get in the car and talk later."

Seeing that there seemed to be signs of unrest at the airport due to Chen Fei's arrival, Florian and several bodyguards quickly escorted Chen Fei out.

It was not until the group quickly left that some reporters, paparazzi and netizens who were waiting inside the airport finally reacted.

"That was... Fei?"

"Oh my God! I actually met my idol here!"

"Why did Director Chen come to Kuala Lumpur? Is he here for tourism as well?"

At this moment, in the car, Flory breathed a sigh of relief with some fear:

"Luckily we ran fast, Fei. You are so popular that if you appeared in public, you would definitely cause crowds and commotion."

"No way." Fade Chen shrugged.

He is actually very helpless, but he has many fans all over the world. No matter where he goes, he can meet people who know or like him. This is a fucking celebrity status!

"The Martian" was not only released in China, but also in hundreds of other countries including the United States.

Even in Kuala Lumpur, you can see promotional posters for "The Martian" and various movie activities everywhere.

With such high popularity, it would be strange if he was not popular.

"How's the preparation going?" Chen Fei went straight to the point without any nonsense.

He has a lot of other important work to do, so he won't be able to stay in Kuala Lumpur for too long. Therefore, if conditions permit, it would be best to complete the challenge as early as possible.

Flory said seriously, "We have already discussed with the person in charge of the Twin Towers. The high-altitude slings you need have also been set up with the assistance of a helicopter. Now we are waiting for you to officially start the challenge."

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Then let's contact Red Bull's publicity department to warm up first. The specific challenge time will be set at 9 am the day after tomorrow."

"Ok!" Flory responded, took out his mobile phone and started making arrangements.

The hotel where Chen Fei stayed happened to be near the Twin Towers, so on the way from the airport to the hotel, he could just pass by the two Twin Towers.

When the business car drove down the expressway, Chen Fei turned his eyes to the left.

Looking from a distance, the two skyscrapers stand in the center of Kuala Lumpur in an astonishing manner, like two giant Optimus Primes reaching into the sky, pushing the skyline to an unprecedented height!
Compared with the uneven high-rise buildings around them, the two twin towers are like two bright pearls, inlaid in the blue sky of Kuala Lumpur, shining with dazzling light.

When the vehicle arrived under the twin towers, Chen Fei's gaze gradually shifted from looking straight ahead to looking up.

Under the blue sky, the two oil twin towers stand in the sky with their unique majestic posture, as if they are two sharp swords pointing to the starry sky, making people marvel at the greatness and miracle of human engineering!

"The height of 452 meters is unimaginable. Fei, how are you going to walk across that thin bandage without any protection?"

Just thinking of that scene, Flory felt terrified, not to mention that Fade Chen had to go up there.

Chen Fei showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Let's wait and see."

After arriving at the hotel, Fade Chen had dinner with everyone and then returned to his room.

The challenge will officially begin the day after tomorrow, but before that, he must first restore his physical and mental state to the best condition.

To achieve all this, sleep and exercise are essential.

He first called Liu Yifei to let her know he was safe, set the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, and then lay in bed to adjust to the jet lag.

At the same time, the news about him and Liu Yifei in Hollywood in China has become more and more popular!

The Sixth Princess has released all the content of the interview.

When they learned that Chen Fei was going to make a foreign language film and would invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy to participate, and that he was suspected to be sprinting for the next Oscar, a group of domestic actors and artists suddenly became excited.

This is a great opportunity to become famous!

Even if you can't make it into the leading cast and only play a supporting role, you can still declare to the outside world that you have made it into Hollywood.

At one point, many people called Chen Fei to inquire about the details and see if they had a chance to participate.

Unfortunately, all they were greeted with was the notification “Hello, the number you dialed is powered off.”

At the same time, new press releases about Liu Yifei were also sent back to China.

"It is reported that actress Liu Yifei will join the animated film "Frozen" jointly produced by Walt Disney Studios and DreamWorks Animation as a voice actor, and will voice the heroine 'Elsa' in the film."

“‘Frozen’ has been confirmed to be released in domestic theaters in the second half of the year.”

"Liu Yifei's pay has risen to the international first-tier level. She can earn tens of millions of dollars just from dubbing work!"

"..."

As various news items kept appearing on the screen, there were constant voices of envy from the mainland.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" made Liu Yifei the heroine of 20 billion box office, and "The Martian" is about to make her the heroine of 30 billion box office. Now there is another animated film "Frozen" with an investment of over million US dollars...

"She gets all the good things?"

Yang Ying nestled in Huang Xiaoming's arms, muttering unhappily.

Facing his girlfriend's complaints, Huang Xiaoming smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to explain to soothe Yang Ying's fragile heart. Liu Yifei is not only hardworking and good at acting, but also has a top international director behind her.

But what about my girlfriend?

Poor acting skills, high arrogance, strong desire to win, unrealistic goals, and face-saving...

Huang Xiaoming shook his head and decided not to think too much about it.

What's more... there's no point in thinking too much.

He is not Chen Fei, how can he provide Yang Ying with so many resources and help?
"The movies I recommended to you, 'Temporary Cohabitation', 'Once Upon a Time in China: Heroes Have Dreams', and 'Micro Love: Getting Better' have all finished filming, right?"

"Yeah, it's all finished. Thank you, husband."

Yang Ying acted coquettishly and looked at Huang Xiaoming with her watery eyes, as if she was expecting something.

The next second, Huang Xiaoming said, "Huanrui is preparing a new drama called "The Legend of Yun Xi". I have already informed the producer and director. You can go for the audition and go through the process."

"Yeah, okay."

Yang Ying responded and mentioned another crew: "By the way, didn't Han Sanping's "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" just hold its launch conference? That drama..."

"Forget about that play." Huang Xiaoming interrupted directly: "Director Han has very strict requirements on acting skills. You won't pass the audition. Moreover, he attaches great importance to this play. Even I can't squeeze someone in."

"Oh fine."

Yang Ying responded softly, but she was thinking in her heart: "If Chen Fei goes to ask, he can definitely get her into the crew."

……

As dusk fell, Chen Fei opened his eyes to the sound of the alarm clock.

The moment he stood up, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, he just happened to see the setting sun, with the afterglow of the sun shining on the Twin Towers of Oil.

The golden sunlight and the silver tower complement each other, forming a very magnificent picture.

The sunlight shines on the glass curtain wall, reflecting dazzling light, which complements the clouds in the sky, forming a symphony of light and shadow.

At this moment, time seems to have stopped, making people forget the worries and noise of the world and just want to immerse themselves in this tranquility and beauty.

After taking a break for more than ten minutes, Fade Chen got up and started exercising.

It gets dark quickly here, and an hour later, night has fallen.

At night, the Petronas Twin Towers are lit up by bright lights, like two huge lighthouses, illuminating the night sky of Kuala Lumpur and adding a touch of mystery and romance to the city.

Flory knocked on the door and came in, bringing him dinner and informing him of some news:
"The PR and publicity departments have already started taking action. The event will be launched after midnight tonight and will spread across the world tomorrow. I will check the equipment again before your challenge begins.

Now it's mainly your turn, are you ready?"

Fade Chen nodded: "Everything is ready!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

There is no need to elaborate on how great the influence of Red Bull is. The next morning, as the related news was reported, the entire Internet was in an uproar!

"WTF? High-altitude slackline? What new way to die is this?"

"I know this high-altitude slackline. I've seen it on TV. It's a few meters high, with a safety belt tied around the body, a cushion on the ground, and a balance bar to maintain balance..."

"A flat belt was set up on the top of the lightning rod at the highest point of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. No safety belt was used, and the person had to rely on his feet and balance to cross the nearly 100-meter distance. Damn, I'm convinced! How dangerous is it?"

"Director Chen seems to be able to bring people an extremely exciting challenge every year. It's so fucking awesome!"

"So, if you accidentally fall down, there's a good chance you won't see the sun tomorrow?"

"Brother upstairs, let alone tomorrow's sun, we can go to the feast that night."

Ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million, one billion...

Throughout the day, the clicks and attention of major news easily exceeded one billion.

The Kuala Lumpur authorities even temporarily added several routes and flights to allow tourists from all over the world to come and watch this unprecedented challenge.

Because he had turned off his phone in advance, Chen Fei was not disturbed and was quietly adjusting his state.

It was not until the next morning, when he was about to set out to participate in the challenge, that he told Liu Yifei that he was safe.

"You must come back!"

"I promise you, I will return safely."

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Red Bull's official live broadcast officially started!
In just one minute, at least tens of millions of people from all over the world flocked in, and the number is still increasing.

At this time, Chen Fei had already reached a high altitude and appeared at the starting point of one end of the Petroleum Twin Towers.

A drone was flying not far away, sending real-time images of his challenge to the world.

The area under the tower was already crowded with people, forming a black mass. They shouted loudly, wishing Chen Fei a successful challenge!
Standing on the slackline, the city outline of Kuala Lumpur slowly unfolded beneath his feet. The staggered buildings were stacked together like building blocks, but each showed its unique charm.

However, high-altitude slacklining is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a challenge to the limits of body and mind!
During the preparation stage yesterday, Chen Fei and the team made very careful plans and formulated relevant walking movements and tactics.

Before the challenge began, Red Bull's professional team also measured the wind direction and speed to ensure that he could make the most timely response at the critical moment.

Time passed by minute by minute. When the wind speed reached the slowest state, Chen Fei took a brave step forward without any hesitation.

At the same time, he gave the system an instruction in his mind: "Increase the physical attributes by 100 points!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the system responded quickly.

[Ding·The corresponding reputation value has been deducted. Congratulations to the host. The physical attribute has been successfully increased to [399] points.]

The system prompt sounded smoothly, and Chen Fei had already taken the first step.

At this moment, he seemed to be assisted by God, his steps were light and firm. Although he landed on the soft flat belt, it seemed as if he was stepping on solid ground.

In the early stage, because the bandage was stretched very tight, his steps seemed fast and steady. Although it looked very thrilling and exciting, it was not particularly dangerous.

However, as he moved deeper into the center of the sling, the effects of the wind began to show.

From the audience's perspective, they saw that the sling began to tremble slightly, as if it could throw him out at any time!

At this moment, there were exclamations from the bottom of the tower:
"Oh my god? Is it so exciting?"

"I feel like even if I stand on it, I might get scared and fall down. It's so scary!"

"Why is there suddenly wind? Why is the bandage shaking so much?"

"No? Isn't there glue under his feet? How can he be so steady?"

"That's too cruel! If you lose your footing and fall, you'll be smashed to pieces right there!"

Because of the height, Chen Fei could not hear other people's screams and shouts at this time.

Feeling the arc of the slackline under his feet, he took a deep breath, and while keeping his body balanced and stable, he cheered himself up and hypnotized himself:

"Slow down! Slow down! I can do it! I want the script! I must succeed!"

Soon, as the wind gradually weakened, Fade Chen began to move again, step by step, moving forward firmly and slowly.

However, as he continued to move forward, the difficulty of the challenge gradually increased.

When he approached the middle section of the high-altitude bandage, he not only had to face the test of strong winds, but also had to overcome his inner fear and anxiety.

My heartbeat is speeding up and my breathing is becoming rapid, all of which are reactions to fear.

But even so, he still forced himself to stay calm and focused!
He tried to adjust his breathing rhythm to synchronize his breathing with the swaying of the sling.

He began to use every part of his body, such as his arms, legs, waist and even toes to maintain balance and stability.

At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a spider walking on a tightrope, moving slowly forward on the flat belt with amazing perseverance and skills, never stopping!
