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

Chapter 687: Eating a peach makes you bleed and it hurts, while biting a big melon with a knife makes you bleed and it hurts!

On the 26th, several domestic news items traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and successfully arrived in Los Angeles.

"The movie "Dear", produced by Liu Yifei, written by Chen Fei, and starring Huang Bo and Zhou Xun, held a grand premiere event in the capital."

"At the premiere, Liu Yifei was dressed in a white suit, looking very impressive. She overwhelmed all the female guests."

"The crew of "Dear" once again reiterates that all the box office revenue from the film in mainland China will be donated to the anti-trafficking cause. I hope there will be no more human trafficking in the world."

Looking at the various news exposed on the Internet and the photos of Liu Yifei and other actors, Chen Fei smiled and felt a different sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It was as if a certain development game had achieved a stage victory.

However, in addition to this, he also saw another piece of news that was reported by the media:

"The film and television company "Jaywalk Media" established by Yang Mi, the leader of the new four young actresses in mainland China, and her agent Zeng Jia, was officially unveiled today!"

"Jiaxing Media General Manager Zeng Jia said that in the future, he will work closely with Yang Mi to make the company bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"

"It is reported that Jiaxing Media will officially be involved in multiple areas including but not limited to artist management, film and television investment and production, variety show production, etc."

"EXO member Lu Han showed up at the opening dinner. According to her agent, Yang Mi will be working with Lu Han to star in a suspense detective film."

"The invited Fang Tangren did not attend the opening ceremony..."

……

"After all, it's still the old way. The studio has become a company? It's getting bigger and stronger, and it's raising funds and going public? Tsk tsk..."

Chen Fei shrugged, feeling somewhat helpless, but somehow he felt that Yang Mi's behavior was not that strange.

He had given her a chance, but unfortunately, she was too ambitious and was not satisfied with the status quo. She had to go out and try her luck.

From the moment Yang Mi terminated the contract, the two parties had no relationship anymore, and we can only wish her good luck in the future.

Putting down his phone, Fade Chen started working on the production of the prop horse with the prop team.

In order to create a realistic wilderness survival environment, the film production team put a lot of effort into scene design and prop preparation.

In addition to the bear, the horse's belly is also a key prop.

Of course, the production team did not use real horse carcasses, but instead used highly realistic prop horses.

Not only does this prop horse look like a real horse, but its interior space has also been carefully designed to ensure that Leonardo can lie in it comfortably and complete the filming.

On the other side of the crew, Leonardo was also preparing for this scene.

Not only does he need to overcome his psychological fear and discomfort (after all, he has to get into a seemingly narrow space full of unknowns), but he also has to maintain long-term concentration and a stable performance state in extremely cold weather.

During the filming process, he needed to be naked and only rely on the warming measures inside the prop horse to maintain his body temperature.

Chen Fei's requirements were extremely strict. He had to use delicate facial expressions and body language to fully demonstrate Hugh Glass's helplessness, despair and desire to survive in the desperate situation.

If it were those popular actors who were so eager to eat peaches and bleed that they felt painful, they would probably quit halfway through the filming.

However, Leo was able to take the risk and meticulously coordinated the shooting progress according to Chen Fei's requirements.

Sometimes, Chen Fei even suspected that in order to win an Oscar, this guy might as well go and shoot a movie like "Brokeback Mountain"!
……

"The first day's box office was 4335 million. I saw many people predict that the box office of this movie should be able to exceed 5 million!"

Early in the morning on the 29th, Liu Yifei did not sleep in, but instead paid attention to the box office of the movie "Dear".

"Huh? Is it this high?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, and took some free time to log on to Douban to check out the reputation and reviews of the movie.

Much to his surprise, on platforms such as Douban and Maoyan, movie fans gave the film high scores of over 9 points.

"The whole movie reflects many current social phenomena and is full of irony. The divorce of parents has a certain impact on their children. A moment of negligence leads to the abduction of the children, and the feeling of regret becomes a tearful moment."

"The state stipulates that a missing person case cannot be filed within 24 hours, but in fact these 24 hours are crucial. I hope the rules can be changed!"

"The movie talks about many people whose children were abducted forming a small team to help each other, but Lao Han and other members of the team illustrate a problem: when children are abducted, how many of them can actually be found?"

"It's so touching. You have to watch this film carefully, very carefully, there are tear-jerking moments everywhere. When the child's mother asked Pengpeng to bring his sister back, Pengpeng held his mother's hand and his mother cried. It seemed like a small close-up, but it depicted the mother's expectation."

"Huang Bo knew that the man was a liar, but he still went. He just didn't want to miss the one in ten thousand possibility. What if it was really Peng Peng? In fact, he is not stupid. In his words, at least there is someone willing to deceive me."

"If you savor it carefully, you will find that this movie has so many tear-jerking moments. I am really grateful to the actors for their performances, which have allowed more people to focus on the fight against human trafficking. I am also very grateful to the crew for helping us, the families who are looking for our relatives!"

High reputation + high quality + all box office proceeds donated...

Under the influence of various factors, the box office of "Dear" increased instead of decreased. On the second day, the single-day box office directly exceeded 5000 million!
Although there were many movies released during the same period, they were no match for "Dear".

At the end of four days, the box office successfully exceeded 100 million yuan, far exceeding other films in the same period.

No matter the imported films such as "The Genius Dog" and "The Treasure Hunters", or the domestic films such as "I Love You Most on the Road" and "The Transit Stack", none of them can compare to it.

And when the time turned to April, the first movie in the history of Chinese-language films to gross 4 billion yuan finally came to a successful conclusion!
Major media outlets once again rushed to report on the incident, and the related news successfully topped the front page headlines of major film, television and entertainment news outlets:

"The domestic science fiction masterpiece "The Martian", directed by Guo Fan and starring Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and others, has been released for 60 days and has a total box office of 32.69 billion yuan, and has been successfully released."

"A new box office record for domestic films has been created!"

"According to calculations, the film producers have earned more than 10 billion RMB in profits from the domestic box office of this film, a figure that is even comparable to the annual revenue of several listed companies!"

"So far, The Martian has grossed $5.3 million in North America and $17.55 billion worldwide! It has broken the box office records of many Hollywood blockbusters..."

As the news reports continued, all of a sudden, expressions of envy, jealousy, greed... emerged all at once.

However, most people only secretly envy it and dare not express it openly or be sarcastic online.

The reason is simple: they really can't afford to offend these investors.

They can't even afford to offend Feiyue Films!

In contrast, "Dear" received a large amount of traffic, and its box office performance saw another wave of growth, charging directly towards 2 million RMB!
……

Cai Yinong really didn't expect that Tangren would be the first company to be cut.

"Startling by Each Step" failed to pass the review, "The Legend of the Desert" was rejected for wantonly changing history, many investors withdrew their capital, and the production team was poached...

Since participating in the last "siege", in less than half a month, the Tang people were torn apart and defeated.

The most frustrating thing was that she knew who was behind her, but she didn't dare to say anything. She could only grit her teeth and swallow the bitter pill.

She didn't even dare to resist, because once she did, the end result would most likely be the complete disintegration and disappearance of the Tang people!
All she could do now was pray, hoping that the other party would be merciful and let her go after venting his anger.

In order to save Tang Ren, she even went to ask Liu Shishi and Hu Ge for help, hoping that they would speak a few good words to that person for the sake of their years of friendship.

Other companies that were held hostage like her included Bona, Huayi, and Orange Sky.

Unlisted companies will poach your people, sabotage your projects, and mess up your movies.

The listed companies will destroy your stock price, spread bad words, and deliberately target you...

After a few blows from the axe, this group of people started crying and shouting, and began to give in.

Among them, Bona is the worst!
Bona, which is listed on NASDAQ, should have been in great glory, but now it is not only half-dead, but because of Chen Fei's targeting, its stock price has continued to fall, making Yu Dong almost cry.

If he hadn't asked his big brother Han Sanping for help, he would have fallen miserably!

...April in North America is not a particularly competitive period, so Natasha scheduled the release of "Ralph" in April.

Looking around, the only film that can compete with it in the same period is "Rio 20" produced by 2th Century Fox.

"The results are not bad. The first day's revenue was 2196 million US dollars. The expected landing point should be more than 2 million US dollars..."

Chen Fei is not very interested in this kind of animated film which is used purely to fill the copyright library.

In fact, for him, this kind of movie relies purely on offline revenue to recover costs, and perhaps it can be linked with other movies in the future.

Then the most important thing is to contribute to the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" which is about to open.

"Big Hero 5 is coming out in May, right?"

"Yes." Natasha responded on the other end of the phone, and added: "The dubbing of Frozen is almost finished, and it is expected to be online around July.

DreamWorks Animation has already started preparing for Kung Fu Panda 4 and How to Train Your Dragon 3..."

Listening to Natasha's report, Fade Chen suddenly remembered the animation script "Inside Out" that he had opened from the script gift package not long ago.

After thinking about it, he simply said, "I will send a new script to your mailbox tonight. Please give it to DreamWorks Animation for me."

New script?
When Natasha heard these three words, her eyes suddenly lit up.

To her, the word "script" uttered by Fade Chen was as sweet as the sound of heaven.

……

As Zhang Yimou's first work after joining LeTV, news about "The Return" is undoubtedly the focus of many people's attention.

When the box office announced that the film would be released on May 5, as expected, it once again triggered a wave of reviews in the mainland.

There were suddenly many rumors in the industry, with many people saying that Zhang Yimou’s release date was too cowardly.

It failed to take advantage of the popularity of the May Day period in the past, and it failed to take advantage of the popularity of the summer vacation period in the future. Is it afraid that other commercial films will affect its box office performance?

Director Zhang explained: "All domestic directors are currently kidnapped by the box office and the market. They are blindly pursuing box office and not focusing on the core. This is ultimately just an illusion and cannot be maintained for long..."

During the visit, Zhang Yimou specifically mentioned "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "The Martian", as well as his previous works "Gravity" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light", all of which he commented on.

Chen Fei was in North America at the moment, and the reporters couldn't find him, so they had to go and block Guo Fan and Ning Hao.

Guo Fan had never made an art film before and had no idea how to answer. He just said a few vague words and then never showed up again.

But Ning Hao, an old hand, sees things very clearly.

At the wrap party for "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2", when the media asked him what he thought of Zhang Yimou's comments, he smiled and said in a joking tone:
"Director Zhang has been working in the field of art films before, and has not yet touched the level of commercial films with a box office of 10 billion yuan. He may have some misunderstandings about commercial films.

Maybe when he makes a commercial film that grosses over 10 billion, he will realize how difficult it is for us.”

This wave of answers is impeccable!

If you think we are not capable of it, then why don’t you make a movie that grosses over 10 billion first?

Very simple, very clean and very direct!

After Ning Hao's response, Zhang Yimou never mentioned this topic again.

Although the words are a bit rough, the logic is not unreasonable.

Faced with the rampant new commercial films, Zhang Yimou is indeed somewhat unable to keep up with the times.

Perhaps only after he actually makes a high-grossing commercial film will he realize how simple his words are.

……

I have to say that Zhang Yimou is quite lucky.

Because of his one sentence, he was almost fooled by the media, which caused controversy between art films and commercial films.

Just when LeTV was trying hard to "cool down", Fengxing suddenly came up with big news!

Earlier on the last day of March, Zhuo Wei, the paparazzi leader, announced that he would reveal a big piece of news in April, which would directly point to a male artist named Wen and a female artist named Yao.

Just as netizens were discussing this explosive news, the person involved immediately responded: "I will sue you for defamation..."

After the response, the man vowed that he would use legal means to protect his rights, and warned Zhuo Wei to be careful and not do anything stupid!
As the godson of a top kung fu superstar in the industry, and a first-line actor who has become extremely popular in recent years and is on par with Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others, the artist surnamed Wen has long been known for his arrogance and domineering reputation in the circle.

It is also because of this that he did not take the paparazzi seriously at all.

Faced with the popular communication, he not only did not have any "public relations" ideas, but instead drove away all those who came to him.

The final result was that a large number of photos and videos appeared on the Internet, and all they showed were intimate scenes of Wen and Yao.

Holding hands, hugging, kissing, checking into a hotel room... everything was captured on camera.

For ordinary people, there may not be so many audiences in life, but for celebrities and artists in the entertainment industry, there are too many audiences!
When these things were exposed, the threats made by the male artist surnamed Wen to Zhuo Wei seemed so ridiculous.

If an ordinary person cheats, the worst that could happen is divorce, division of property, etc.

But for a star, especially one who usually maintains the image of a "good man", "good husband" or "good father", this is undoubtedly very scary!

Once the character collapses, fans will instantly turn from love to hate, and those in the industry who are very good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes will also rush over...

As the saying goes, when a whale dies, all things come to life!

If a male artist with the surname Wen falls, that can support many second-tier male artists with the surname Wen.

Based on this, countless brokerage companies and artists have taken action.

Even the man's original wife, an actress named Ma who is currently pregnant, also lent a lot of help.

Chen Fei saw the apology text and video posted by the man on Weibo, and cried bitterly and begged for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. No one in the comment section felt sorry for him, and all he heard was a barrage of abuse.

Driven by the people behind the scenes, as of April 4, all the acting offers and endorsements of the male actor surnamed Wen collapsed, and the mistress was even worse off, with a "ban order" against her already issued in the industry.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a revenge by the woman and the paparazzi after she discovered the man's cheating."

Su Guohai was well-informed in this regard and quickly figured out the whole story.

"Tsk tsk, once this woman gets ruthless, men simply can't stand it. Who would have thought that the person next to her has been sleeping with her and dreaming different dreams for a long time?"

To be honest, Chen Fei suddenly admired Sun Li a little.

He really couldn't understand why that person chose to forgive Deng Chao again and again?
……

After the melon-eating is over, we naturally cannot forget the important things.

After a month and a half of filming, "The Revenant" has finally come to an end.

Chen Fei picked up the loud speaker and shouted to the entire crew, "Come on, everyone, get ready. This is the last shot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the actors, cameras, props, lights, etc. were all in place. The entire crew was like a precision-operated instrument, producing one set of precision parts after another under Chen Fei's control!
