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

Chapter 688: Finished! A meal without any danger! Sony's ambition! Can the new generation replace the old?

The last scene of "The Revenant" can be regarded as the climax and highlight of the entire film. It profoundly conveys the protagonist Hugh Glass's hardships in surviving in extreme environments, his determination for revenge, and his complex inner emotions.

At the end of the film, after experiencing countless life and death tests in the wilderness, Hugh Glass finally found an opportunity to take revenge on Fitzgerald, his companion who betrayed and abandoned him.

After his revenge was successful, Glass was exhausted and lay on the snow, surrounded by the silent wilderness and the white snow.

At this moment, he seemed to see the illusion of his deceased wife. She walked towards him with a smile, then slowly turned and left.

The appearance of this illusion adds a touch of warmth and sadness to Glass's journey of revenge.

When shooting this scene, Chen Fei chose to take the camera himself.

With his focus, the camera uses an extreme close-up, focusing on Glass's blue eyes filled with clear tears.

This shooting technique not only enhances the visual impact of the picture, but also allows the audience to deeply feel Glass's complex emotions.

In the field, Leonardo's eyes flashed with despair, surprise, hope, pain and helplessness.

These changes in emotions also reflect the hardships and inner struggles he experienced while surviving in the wilderness.

When he saw the vision of his deceased wife, the hope and pain intertwined in his eyes was even more touching!

In order to win awards, the perfect ending is bound to be less profound than this tragedy.

Therefore, the ending of "The Revenant" is irreparable pain and deep helplessness.

Glass has lost all his relatives and friends, and only loneliness and solitude will accompany him for the rest of his life.

"Receive the sound, and come closer."

While shooting, Chen Fei also did not forget to direct the on-site staff.

Soon, the sound of Leonardo's faint breathing began to echo around the scene.

This sound effect not only enhances the realism of the picture, but also implies that although Glass succeeded in his revenge, his body is extremely weak and the fire of life is about to be extinguished.

This final shot is not only the end of Glass's personal fate, but also the sublimation of the theme of the entire film.

It tells us that in the process of survival in the wilderness, the light and darkness of human nature coexist.

Although Glass experienced countless pains and hardships, he never gave up hope for survival and the pursuit of justice.

However, when he finally succeeded in his revenge, he found that he had lost all the meaning that kept him alive.

This feeling of emptiness and loneliness is bound to make people ponder: "In such an extreme environment, what exactly are we surviving for? Is it for revenge? Or is it to find the meaning and value of life?"

Michael Mann, sitting behind the monitor, felt simply astonished.

In the filming of this final scene, Chen Fei once again demonstrated his superb directing skills!
Through visual, emotional, and sound methods, he profoundly conveyed the hardships and complex emotions that Glass experienced in the wilderness survival process. This is not only the conclusion of Glass's personal destiny, but also the sublimation and deepening of the theme of the entire film!
"Crack!"

As the voice sounded, everyone immediately looked at Fade Chen behind the camera.

He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over all the actors and staff on the scene, and a smile appeared on his face:
“I declare that The Revenant has officially wrapped!”

"Clap clap clap!"

In an instant, there was thunderous applause and cheers throughout the venue!

Reporters who came from the periphery walked into the set under the guidance of the staff and began to chat with the crew members about the details and feelings during the filming.

That evening, the relevant news was reported back to the country.

"Reprinted from Los Angeles Daily News: Today, the film "The Revenant", directed by Chen Fei, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, with cameos by Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon, was officially announced to be completed."

"According to reliable sources, Director Chen will compete for the Oscars again with this film!"

"The handsome Jack is dead, and all that's left to us is the stinking savage Hugh Glass."

……

After delivering the film to the company, Fade Chen returned to Beverly Hills in time for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, he enjoyed the warm hospitality from Liu Yifei.

"Are you tired? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Looking at Liu Yifei, who was wearing an apron and dressed like a housewife, Chen Fei felt inexplicably confused.

What is going on?
Before he could ask what was on his mind, he heard Miss Liu say with a smile: "Auntie has asked for leave today, so I have to cook."

"what?"

In an instant, Fade Chen's face turned pale.

He had enjoyed the fried eggs with tomatoes made by Miss Liu. The taste was so salty that it was choking!
"What? You don't want to eat the food I cooked?" Liu Yifei pouted and glared at him angrily.

"No, absolutely not." Fade Chen immediately coaxed: "I'm just worried that you're too tired. Auntie, please take a leave. We can go out to eat. There's no need to cook it yourself."

The main point of love brain is to just coax them.

Listening to Chen Fei's words, Liu Yifei instantly showed a smile on her face: "Actually, it's not that tiring, it's quite relaxing."

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the kitchen.

Chen Fei finally understood why Liu Yifei said it was easy.

Because what Miss Liu meant by cooking was just heating up the vegetables bought outside and putting them on a plate, that's all.

Seeing this scene, Fade Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The meal went smoothly without any incident.

After dinner, Liu Yifei volunteered to clean up the place and pushed Chen Fei into the study room, asking him to have a good rest.

Thinking that there would be a very "fierce" war in the evening, Chen Fei nodded silently and chose to rest very obediently.

He casually turned on the computer and started browsing the web.

While paying attention to the news about "The Revenant", Chen Fei also saw a lot of news about the complete emblem.

Many netizens and fans in the circle fanned the flames under Jiang Wen’s Weibo, suggesting that he delete all footage of this bad artist.

There are even many people in the circle who want to "add insult to injury" and are putting pressure on Jiang Wen, hoping that he will think twice before acting.

However, according to Chen Fei's understanding of Jiang Wen, this person should not be the kind of person who would easily compromise.

What's more, there are quite a few shots of the emblem in "One Step Away".

If it was deleted, the movie would probably be ruined, and the 3 million yuan investment would probably be wasted.

The work on "The Revenant" has come to a temporary end, and the next one to be launched is "Avengers 2".

However, before that, Chen Fei planned to return to China first.

According to Han Sanping, "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" has been filming for some time, and they will soon be filming scenes involving him, and they hope he can go back and participate.

Anyway, it wouldn't take long, so Fade Chen simply agreed.

However, he still had some things to do before going back.

……

At 10 a.m. the next day, neatly dressed Chen Fei and fully made-up Liu Yifei went out and headed straight for the Walt Disney Studios outside Los Angeles.

Today, the film "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" directed by Xue Xiaolu will be shooting its last scene in the studio's church.

Chen Fei and Liu Yifei happened to have nothing to do, so they decided to go over and take a look.

By the time the two arrived at the set with ease, they saw that the filming had already begun.

Inside the church, Jiao Enjun and Wan Qian each sat in a seat, watching an elderly couple on the stage who were re-holding their wedding ceremony.

The two elderly people wore shirts that looked like dresses and stood in front of the priest to receive God's blessings. Grandpa made a passionate confession at the wedding, expressing his deep love and reluctance to leave grandma, as well as his fear of leaving grandma first.

Miss Liu is a rather sentimental person. When she saw her grandmother holding up her trembling hands to her chest and saying, "Wherever the person is, there is home. When the person is gone, home is in the heart," her eyes were already filled with tears.

Although this is already an old cliché in film and television dramas, it has to be said that this scene is indeed a sublimation of the theme of the movie.

It will make the audience start to think about the meaning of life, the value of love, and the helplessness and relief in the face of death.

These are also the key to achieving high box office.

"Crack!"

As Xue Xiaolu shouted the words "Wrap Up", the originally dull atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively.

The staff members cheered continuously, while Xue Xiaolu, Jiao Enjun, Wan Qian and others walked over to Chen Fei.

"Director Chen, Yifei, why are you here?"

"I heard that the film is about to be finished. I was too busy before and didn't have time. Today I happen to be free, so we came over to take a look."

After exchanging a few pleasantries and greeting Jiao Enjun, Wan Qian and others, Chen Fei simply led everyone to a nearby hotel and prepared a few tables for the wrap-up banquet.

"Director Chen, I want to toast you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to act in the movie."

Wan Qian walked up to Fade Chen with a glass in hand, unable to hide her excitement.

"You're welcome. As an actor, as long as you have enough acting skills, there will always be opportunities to stand out."

Chen Fei raised his glass and clinked it with hers, and then specifically reminded her: "After you go back this time, remember to pay more attention to "Day and Night Chase", and cooperate with Pan Yueming on the subsequent publicity work, and strive to break a new record."

In "Day and Night", Wan Qian also played the heroine.

Wan Qian quickly responded: "Okay, I understand, Director Chen."

After the wrap party, the crew members of "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" began to return to China in batches.

Only Xue Xiaolu will stay in Los Angeles for a few more days because he needs to sort out the films.

Without any deliberate concealment, the news quickly spread back to the country.

"The film "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", directed by Xue Xiaolu and co-produced by Feiyue Films and China Film Group, has officially been completed and is expected to be released in the second half of the year..."

For a time, the industry was in an uproar again.

"Another movie finished???"

"Ghost Blows Out the Light 2, The Revenant, Detective Chinatown, Charlotte's Troubles, Big Fish and Begonia, When Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter... I'm numb! I'm really numb!"

“A blessing for fans, a nightmare for the industry!”

"If all of this is concentrated in the second half of the year, won't it be useless?"

"No? Is this really how we have to do it? Is there any justice or law?"

"Who can compete with you in this way?"

……

Chen Fei simply ignored the various "protests" in the industry.

The next day, he attended a special premiere event.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2"!
This is a film co-produced by Marvel and Sony Columbia Pictures, but the former's presence in the film's production can be said to be minimal, with the latter mainly responsible for a series of businesses such as production and distribution.

Marvel was so poor that it was about to go bankrupt, so it just sold its own superhero characters.

The character of Spider-Man belongs to Sony Columbia Pictures.

Under the operation of Sony Columbia, this heroic character that should have belonged to Marvel can be said to have brought them extremely lucrative profits, and it is no surprise to call it a "cash cow".

Since the huge success of "The Amazing Spider-Man 1" two years ago, Sony has begun preparing for the sequel.

Now the second part has also been released, but whether it can continue the glory of the first part has become the focus of many people's curiosity.

Like Chen Fei, many guests present today had no intention of socializing, but were looking forward to the moment when the film was released.

In the front row, Kevin Feige took this rare opportunity to meet Chen Fei and reported to him some recent developments of Marvel.

“The finished film of Guardians of the Galaxy will be completed by the end of this month at the latest. After discussing with the theater chain, we decided to release it in August.

The casting of Ant-Man is underway, and the protagonist has been confirmed to be Paul Rudd, who previously starred in Friends, and other roles are also being confirmed in turn..."

Fade Chen nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the big screen.

The screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has begun.

This movie is the fifth in the "Spider-Man" series. It mainly tells the story of Peter, who after graduating from high school, and his girlfriend Gwen fight against Max the Electric Man and Harry the Green Goblin. After learning the truth about his parents' departure, he still chooses to protect the world as Spider-Man.

The story progressed step by step, but Chen Fei couldn't help but frowned.

When the superheroes in "Avengers" began to team up to defend the earth, and when the mysterious organization under the shadow of "S.H.I.E.L.D." was increasingly exposed to the sun, "Spider-Man", an enduring image that was inextricably linked to both, was isolated from both for reasons beyond the movies.

He swings alone in the jungle of steel and concrete. While saving New York, he also bears all kinds of doubts and worries from ordinary people, and endlessly reflects on himself deep in his heart.

What's worse is that in this film, Spider-Man actually lost his lover, and the days of being alone will become even more difficult.

While watching, Kevin Feige was still muttering: "Sony is trying to create an idol image to capture a new generation of young audiences, which is why they chose Long-legged Garfield..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei silently added in his heart: "This is probably why the movie uses a lot of space to show Peter and Gwen's daily life and love."

Unfortunately, this makes the pace of the whole movie seem very slow, and the audience has not yet been satisfied with the story, but two and a half hours have passed unknowingly.

After watching the entire movie, Fade Chen had only one thought in his mind.

Sony seems to be planning a big move!
Even though the gorgeous Electro was enough to carry the sequel, they still brought in the Green Goblin and Rhino just to expand a movie into a portal to a world.

If nothing unexpected happens, in the upcoming films such as "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 4", they may use the arrogance of a group of villains to resist the group salvation of the rival superheroes.

This may also be a form of resistance from Sony to Marvel.

They want to rely on Spider-Man alone, combined with many villains, to compete with the rise of Marvel like DC did.

The box office performance of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will serve as the basis for verifying whether this behavior can continue.

……

After leaving the premiere, Chen Fei followed Kevin Fei to New York to pay attention to the final effect of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the preparation effect of "Avengers 2".

"I will go back first and then fly back here after May, when the filming of Avengers 5 will start."

After simply formulating a shooting plan with the crew members behind the scenes, Chen Fei returned to Los Angeles and went to the editing department of Walt Disney Studios to arrange the post-production requirements of "The Revenant".

Afterwards, he followed up on the post-production and preparation progress of several films, including "Transformers 4", "Now You See Me 2", "Frozen", "Pacific Rim 2", and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay".

After all the work was arranged, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei went to the airport together and started their journey back home.

China Film Corporation had already prepared wrap-up parties for "The Martian" and "The Taking of Tiger Mountain", and when he landed in the capital, he had to rush to the scene as soon as possible.

In addition to this event, he also has to attend the premieres of many movies such as "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and "My Deskmate".

Chen Long had contacted him not long ago, wanting to invite him to attend his 60th birthday, but because the filming of "The Revenant" was at a critical stage, Chen Fei had to refuse him.

However, he cannot avoid the subsequent opening ceremony of "Lion Falls from the Sky". If nothing unexpected happens, he may be drafted by Chen Long to make a wonderful cameo appearance.

He was actually quite emotional. In the blink of an eye, that generation of movie stars had all grown old.

Looking back, it is still unknown whether the new generation can catch up.

It can be seen from the example of the coat of arms that in the future there will probably be more and more people whose houses will collapse!
