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

Chapter 694 Graduation Thesis: Me and My Father Zuoshandiao Me and My Teacher Oscar
In the hotel, a lively dinner party has begun.

After clinking glasses with Huang Xiaoming, Wang Baoqiang, Xiao Yang and others, Chen Fei started chatting with Wang Shiliang who was sitting on his right.

"After the film is finished, the next step is to submit it for review. If nothing goes wrong, the Film Bureau should have a reply within a week at the latest. Then the next step is to work on publicity and release dates. You have to follow up on all these processes."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand." Wang Shiliang responded and then asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have any good suggestions on setting the release date?"

"Try to go to the big schedules, such as National Day and New Year's Day, which are more suitable."

Comedy films are a favorite genre of many audiences. In addition, "Detective Chinatown 3" uses a "luxury" level production team, so it is natural that it will be released closer to the big release date.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shiliang made the final decision: "Then let's go with the National Day. The Lunar New Year's Day will be reserved for "Ghost Blowing Out the Light 2" directed by Ning Hao."

Chen Fei reminded: "Actually, the Spring Festival period is also pretty good."

Wang Shiliang smiled bitterly and said, "Forget about the Spring Festival schedule. The competition is too fierce. And I heard from President Su that China Film Group has decided to release Pacific Rim 2, which is currently being filmed, during the Spring Festival schedule."

Competing with "Pacific Rim 2" is indeed not a good choice. Compared with Hollywood's 3D sci-fi blockbuster, "Detective Chinatown " is indeed a little insufficient.

Fade Chen nodded: "Then let's go for the National Day. A seven-day holiday is enough."

……

The meal lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. When Chen Fei returned to the villa, he saw Liu Yifei stretching on the yoga mat in the living room.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Fade Chen threw his suit jacket on the sofa and poured himself a glass of boiled water while talking.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Chen Fei was about to drink water, Liu Yifei quickly stopped him and reminded him: "I made porridge for you, don't drink water, go drink the porridge."

粥？
Chen Fei paused for a moment and his expression suddenly changed.

He was well aware of this girl's cooking skills.

Who puts ketchup in tomato scrambled eggs? Who stir-fries vegetables with cold oil in a cold pan? Who stir-fries shredded ginger instead of shredded potatoes?

After noticing the change in Chen Fei's expression, Liu Yifei immediately put her hands on her waist and glared at him angrily: "What's that expression on your face? Don't you believe in my cooking skills?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's mainly because I..."

Before Fade Chen could find a suitable reason, Miss Liu had already stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, she really came out with a bowl of white porridge.

Chen Fei came over and took a look at the porridge. He was surprised to find that it seemed to be quite good.
"I cooked this under the guidance of the cooking auntie. She praised me for my talent and said I was a good candidate for learning cooking skills!"

Chen Fei stole a glance at her when he heard that, and thought she was silly but cute.

Picking up the spoon, Fade Chen prepared himself mentally before scooping up the porridge and putting it into his mouth.

Surprisingly, this porridge not only looks good, but is also cooked to just the right temperature, soft and sticky, and it's obvious that a lot of hard work went into it!

"How is it? It's delicious, right?" Liu Yifei raised her head proudly.

"Yeah, it's really good, it's cooked very well."

Fade Chen gave her a thumbs up and then began to drink voraciously.

After drinking, I had a bowl of white porridge and the slight discomfort in my stomach disappeared instantly.

Seeing him finish the porridge in no time, Miss Liu put her hands on her waist, shrugged her delicate nose, and pretended to be displeased: "Humph, I'll teach you not to look down on me again."

Chen Fei stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "I'm just worried that you're too tired. Girls should protect their hands. From now on, let others do the dirty work..."

After being comforted, Miss Liu smiled again.

Her little face flushed as she buried it in Fade Chen's arms, and she whispered, "I learned a new pose when I was practicing yoga today."

"Then let me test your learning results."

Chen Fei pretended to be righteous, picked her up horizontally and ran straight to the bedroom upstairs.

The next morning, after getting up, Chen Fei first called Han Jianu, and then went straight to Beijing Film Academy.

The moment he stepped into Beijing Film Academy again, it was as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to his youthful school days.

Looking back to the past, every scenery and every fallen leaf on campus seemed to carry his former expectations and dreams!
Perhaps because it is approaching graduation season, looking around, you can see that many brokerage company signs have been set up in the school, all of which carry the names of signed artists.

The students coming and going were holding a lot of information in their arms. They gathered in groups of three or four to discuss which agency they should go to.

This era has unknowingly become different from the past.

Looking back to the past, actors who graduated from professional training schools were always able to find a suitable crew. Even if they went to Hengdian to be extras, they would start out as special actors.

But now, with the Internet era and the booming emergence of traffic stars, the four words "professional actor" are no longer so valuable.

Maybe you have achieved good results in school, but after leaving school, you may face the embarrassing situation of having no film crew to go to.

In today's film and television industry, it is impossible to find a suitable role without a background or special skills.

Of course, if you are "willing to contribute" yourself, there are still many opportunities.

Chen Fei dressed very low-key today, sunglasses and a mask have become his essential equipment.

This was a film academy after all, and the thing they had the most was stars, so the students coming and going did not pay too much attention to him.

Most people would never have imagined that the person who just passed by them was none other than a shining beacon in the global film industry—Fade Chen!
……

He walked all the way to the large classroom of the directing department, and was not until he was stopped by the security guard that Chen Fei took off his sunglasses and mask.

"Huh? Director Chen?"

The security guard was stunned at first, then quickly recognized him and made way.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for many years. You seem to be getting younger and younger!"

Chen Fei greeted the other party with a smile, and then walked towards the large classroom of the directing department.

At this time, the people standing at the door were all stunned!

A younger girl who was in charge of reception opened her eyes wide, looked at the security guard in disbelief, and said in surprise: "Wow? Captain Li! You are too proud, aren't you? Director Chen actually called you Brother Li?"

At this time, the older security guard also reacted.

He looked at Fade Chen's receding back excitedly, adjusted his security uniform, and boasted in a condescending tone, "Of course. When Director Chen was in college, he would give me a pack of Huazi every time he entered or left the school gate."

“This lineup is so awesome!”

The girl was filled with envy and secretly sighed in her heart, she never expected that such an awesome director would have such a good temper and attitude towards a security guard.

"No wonder he became famous. It turns out there is a reason for it..."

She was muttering to herself when she heard the older security guard ask, "Girl, you're not a student of Beijing Film Academy, are you?"

"No." Yang Chaoyue wiped the sweat from the hot sun and smiled brightly: "I'm here to work part-time. The middleman said that as long as I stand here for a day, I can get 80 yuan."

The old security guard looked at her with some pity and said with emotion: "Indeed, this job is not something those delicate little princesses are willing to do.

You are a girl who can endure hardships, and you are not bad looking. If you can find the right direction in the future, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself!"

Listening to the old security guard's praise, Yang Chaoyue smiled and looked at the film academy students coming and going outside, feeling a little envious.

"It would be great if I could enter the entertainment industry, maybe I could become a big star. If I could work with Director Chen, it would be such a blessing!"

At this time, Chen Fei, who had already entered the venue, had no idea that just because he said hello, he would cause an ordinary girl to yearn for the entertainment industry.

……

"Senior Brother Chen!"

Seeing Chen Fei coming in, Han Jianu, who was in the crowd, suddenly brightened up and ran over quickly.

"Is the defense about to begin?"

"I'll be next in line soon. Did you sleep in? You almost got late!"

Han Jianu said this casually, and complained a few times, which made many people around stare! Facing a big man like Chen Fei, she could be so casual. Only Han Jianu could do such a thing. Others would tremble even when they said hello.

"You didn't tell me what time it would start."

Chen Fei retorted to her, and he had a deep understanding of this girl's carefree personality.

The two were chatting when the classroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice was heard: "Next, Han Jianu."

"Coming!"

Han Jianu responded, waved to Chen Fei, and quickly ran to the classroom door.

Chen Fei followed behind and walked in slowly.

The classroom was originally quite calm, but when they saw Chen Fei following behind Han Jianu, all the students, including the teachers, stood up subconsciously and looked at him in shock!
At this moment, many people had only one thought in their minds.

Why is this man here?

"Hello, teachers. I am Han Jianu, and this is my production supervisor and instructor, Chen Fei."

Han Jianu was introducing herself on the stage.

Chen Fei greeted the teachers and professors of the directing department, including Tian Zhuangzhuang, and then sat in the audience seat on the side.

To put it nicely, he is here today to show his support.

To put it bluntly, he came here today just to support Han Jianuo.

If someone asks a question that Han Jianu cannot answer, then Chen Fei can come on stage to help answer the question.

However, this situation should not happen. Chen Fei believed that no one at the scene would be stupid enough to ask difficult questions to confuse Han Sanping's daughter.

Moreover, this girl is also quite "cruel"!

The column on which her thesis was based was "The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy", which earned 22.35 billion yuan at the box office, and "The Tomb-Blowing Light: The Mystical Ancient City", which earned 2.35 million US dollars in North America and also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

When this graduation thesis was posted, many people at the scene who had ideas about the title of "outstanding graduate" suddenly gave up.

Looking around, the words between the lines of that graduation thesis seem to be filled with the two sentences "Me and my father Zuoshandiao" and "Me and my teacher Oscar".

The defense was over, and as expected, Han Jianu received the highest score.

"Brother Chen, thank you. When I'm not busy for a while, my dad and I will treat you to a meal."

"You're welcome." Fade Chen said casually, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first."

"okay bye."

Han Jianv waved her hand, watched Chen Fei, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others say goodbye one after another, then turned and left the directing department classroom.

Beijing Film Academy did not keep him, even though he was the proudest graduate of the academy. But who could have made him go to another film academy to become an honorary president?

In the future, the two colleges may have conflicts over the issue of student sources, which will naturally create an irreparable gap between the two sides, and they are likely to drift further and further apart in the future.

……

The May Day holiday has just passed, and the circle has become lively again.

The movie "Coming Home" directed by Zhang Yimou has started to send out invitations for the premiere, inviting many colleagues in the industry to come and watch the movie.

According to gossip, this film could have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, but because the subject matter of the film involves the background of that special era, it was artificially withdrawn.

But when this news came out, it attracted more people's attention.

Many people are looking forward to the day when the finished film is released, ready to take a look at it.

In addition, the news that Wu Jing and Xie Nan’s wedding date has been set was also exposed by the media.

Many people in the industry received invitations, and even the guest list at the wedding was exposed by the media.

When people saw that Chen Fei would attend the event as the best man again, a heated discussion broke out in the circle.

The comment section under his personal Weibo was directly "overwhelmed".

"Chen Fei, from now on you can happily receive the title - 'Witness of Love'."

"First it was Zhu Yawen, and now it's Wu Jing. When will it be your turn?"

"If you think about it carefully, Director Chen is already 30 years old this year, right? It seems like it's time for him to get married."

"But he doesn't even have a girlfriend. How pitiful."

"That's true. Director Chen and I are about the same age. My daughter is already 4 years old."

"..."

Looking at his completely chaotic Weibo comment section, Fade Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, with black lines all over his forehead.

These guys actually made fun of me for being single. That's so fucking insulting!
"Humph, I'll find a suitable time to announce my girlfriend's name and show it to you all."

After silently complaining, Chen Fei clicked to exit his personal Weibo and began to check other news refreshed on the entertainment news website.

After a while, he actually saw several of the latest hot news.

"The latest news from the film and television industry: According to Yaolai Pictures, Chen Long will join hands with director Li Rengang to launch the epic blockbuster "Dragon Blade". The film will be produced and starred by Chen Long, bringing together top domestic and foreign production teams to create a costume action blockbuster that transcends Chinese and Western cultures!"

"It is reported that investors of "Dragon Blade" will include Yaolai, Huayi, Shanghai Film Group and other companies, with an investment budget of up to 4 million yuan. This will be a major investment in the history of Chinese-language films."

"It was revealed that the crew of 'Dragon Blade' will shoot in many locations at home and abroad, striving to restore historical scenes and bring a shocking audio-visual experience to the audience."

"In addition to Chen Long, 'Dragon Blade' has also invited Hollywood superstars such as John Cusack and Adrien Brody to join in this multinational production. As the lead actor, Chen Long will play a wise and brave Han Dynasty general who engages in a fierce duel with the ancient Roman legion."

“As a multinational co-production, Dragon Blade will demonstrate the international influence and production level of Chinese films. The film is expected to be released simultaneously in many countries and regions around the world, bringing audiences an audio-visual feast that transcends time and space.”

Looking at the latest hot news constantly breaking out on the Internet, Chen Fei suddenly remembered Chen Long's previous invitation to him.

"I don't know what role this guy wants me to play next?"

Chen Fei muttered to himself, ignoring the news at home and turning his attention to the news abroad.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2", produced by Sony Columbia Pictures and Marvel, is finally released!

However, the overseas box office results were somewhat disappointing.

On the first day of its release in North America, the box office was only 3516 million US dollars, and it did not reproduce the glory of "The Amazing Spider-Man 1" as expected.

Moreover, on IMDb, the audience only gave it a rating of 8.3 points.

Compared to the domestic audiences who prefer the core and story features, these foreign science fiction fans pay more attention to the various exciting special effects.

Unfortunately, "Incredibles 2" focuses more pictures and scenes on showing Peter and Gwen's daily life and love.

This also makes the pace of the whole movie seem very slow. The audience has not yet seen enough, but two and a half hours have passed unknowingly.

Coupled with the setting of losing a loved one, it is even more difficult for North American audiences to accept.

Many fans strongly protested and demanded that the producers resurrect Gwen or they would refuse to watch the movie.

But the movie has already been released, how could it be taken down and the plot changed?
The end result was that the box office performance of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" continued to decline.

After earning only 9160 million U.S. dollars in the first three days of the weekend, the North American box office revenue on the fourth day dropped directly to 516 million!
At this point, this blockbuster, which cost more than 2.5 million U.S. dollars, completely failed in the North American market.

Chen Fei called Marvel immediately.

After receiving his call, Kevin Feige immediately replied: "We are negotiating with Sony recently and will definitely strive to get the copyright of Spider-Man back!"

Chen Fei said in a deep voice: "Remember, as long as they have the intention to give up the development of the Spider-Man project, no matter how much it costs, we must take it back."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand."

Kevin Feige responded solemnly, already believing that he would win!

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was a huge flop, the film's ratings kept dropping, and plans for the third and fourth films have been terminated.

Based on this, Sony Columbia Pictures is under tremendous pressure.

This gives Marvel hope of regaining the copyright to produce film and television works!
