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

Chapter 697: The founder of youth-themed movies? Two major projects announced, completely overturning the domestic entertainment industry!
The next morning, before going abroad, Chen Fei paid special attention to several projects that were about to be launched.

The two TV series, "Day and Night" and "The Journey of Flower", will premiere on Youku in the next one or two months. "Red Sorghum" is still in post-production, and "Nirvana in Fire" has not yet been completed.

The three animated films "Big Hero 6", "Big Fish and Begonia" and "Frozen" will span the months of June, July and August.

In September, "Now You See Me 9" will take over.

10月是《唐人街探案》，11月则是《饥饿游戏3：嘲笑鸟》，而12月的贺岁档则会由《鬼吹灯2》进行接替……

Looking at the entire second half of the Chinese film and television industry, a movie related to Chen Fei is released almost every month.

It is certainly impossible to form a monopoly, but it is inevitable that the box office performance will remain in the top 3!
"Fireworks in the Daytime", which was released at the end of April, is still in theaters and has successfully exceeded 4 million yuan at the box office, only 3 million yuan away from "My Deskmate".

At the same time, due to the excellent performance of "You are the One", the industry has once again seen the charm of low-cost youth-themed movies.

The production industry has further strengthened the idea that youth-themed films are popular genres and believe that they are the current hot projects.

As long as the movie can be successfully released, you can make huge profits!

Many film and television companies have hurriedly found screenwriters and started projects for similar films before their current youth-themed films have been completed.

Those film companies that had not been able to catch up with the trend before also hurriedly formed filming teams and started moving towards this track.

Up to now, domestic youth-themed films seem to have become Hollywood industrial films and have entered an assembly line production mode.

The producers don’t care about the quality at all, as long as the film can be completed and released as quickly as possible.

Many newly established production companies, even if they have no experience in film production, are very confident!
The reason for this is mainly due to Chen Fei's statement a long time ago:

"Adolescence, dating, fighting, reconciliation, family conflicts, secret love, going abroad, abortion, misunderstanding, rebellion, confusion..."

The script outline is already there, all we have to do is fill it with the plot.

Even Chen Fei himself did not expect that what was originally just a sarcastic remark has now become a "general outline" often used in the filming of youth-themed movies.

The industry currently regards him as the "founder" of youth-themed films, and the movie "Your Name" has been used as a reference by many film companies.

Not to mention those small companies, even many large companies do this!
The result of doing this is that youth-themed movies have become very popular. In just one month, at least 30 film projects have been successfully approved, which is astonishing!
……

Compared with film and television projects, the pre-production and planning of variety show projects are much easier.

Especially for projects like "Running Man" that have purchased the copyrights of other variety shows, the early preparations went exceptionally smoothly with the help of reference and assistance from the original production team.

In the afternoon, Gu Yongqiang called.

"Mr. Chen, we have joined hands with Enlight Media and have already assembled a complete production team consisting of directors, screenwriters, cameramen, editors, post-production, publicity and distribution professionals.

Everything has been prepared, including a detailed program plan, program flow, game rules, task settings, guest invitation plan, and the selection of the first shooting location.

There is also a detailed budget plan based on the program plan, including guest fees, venue rental, equipment purchase, post-production and other expenses are calculated and perfected..."

It was originally just a simple report, but in the end, it turned into a conference call.

Until the end, Chen Fei simply turned on the computer, pulled Wang Changtian in, and talked about the progress of the entire project together.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and Chen Fei made the final decision: "Since the entire project has been confirmed, let's officially announce it."

Gu Yongqiang responded: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Haha!" Wang Changtian laughed, "Running Man is a popular outdoor reality show in South Korea. If it suddenly announces that it will move to the mainland, then if nothing unexpected happens, all those management companies, artists, etc. will probably be scrambling to get in, right?"

Gu Yongqiang also laughed: "This is inevitable. As long as we can make this variety show a success, subsequent revenue will be endless. It is not impossible to even make it a phenomenal variety show."

Feiyue Pictures + Guangguang + Youku, with the endorsement of these three companies, the quality of "Running Man" will definitely not be bad!
Chen Fei reminded in a deep voice: "The selection of guests must be cautious. They must be able to let go and have awareness of the reality show game. Artists with bad records must not be accepted.

A popular variety show with long-lasting vitality, in addition to being able to promote people and make money, the most important significance is that it will be an unparalleled platform for creating stars.”

Hearing these words, Wang Changtian and Gu Yongqiang were both stunned!
At this moment, variety shows such as "Super Boy" and "Super Girl" emerged in the minds of the two.

Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, Chen Chusheng, Hua Chenyu, Zhang Hanyun... Aren’t these the most vivid examples?

"I will take a flight to Hollywood tonight. The subsequent selection of guests will be left to you two. Once it is finalized, remember to send it to me for review."

Chen Fei's tone was full of unwillingness to refuse, and the other two did not refuse.

After all, this project was arranged by Chen Fei a long time ago, and his authority is sufficient and great enough.

After Wang Changtian left the connection, Gu Yongqiang suddenly thought of another thing and immediately asked:

"By the way, Mr. Chen, according to your instructions, we have purchased the copyright of "Infinite Challenge" at the same time as purchasing the copyright of "Running Man". When will the preparations for this variety show begin?"

"What did MBC say? Will their people come over to help with the preparations?"

"Yes, just like Running Man, they also gave away a season of on-site assistance."

After thinking for a while, Fade Chen said directly: "It's the same if you drive one sheep or a flock of sheep. After the "Running Man" project is announced, we can start preparing for "Infinite Challenge" directly."

"What's the name? Is it still called Infinite Challenge?"

"Let's change it to 'Extreme Challenge'. This name sounds more pleasant."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

After he finished speaking, Gu Yongqiang also left the connection.

Fade Chen stood up, picked up the backpack on the sofa, said something to his secretary, and led his assistant straight to the airport.

According to the original plan, he was actually going to meet up with Liu Yifei first and then go to the airport together.

Unfortunately, because of the conference call, he had to postpone his departure.

By the time we arrived at the airport, it was already very late, with only about half an hour left before the scheduled departure time of the flight.

"Director Chen?"

Several paparazzi who were waiting at the airport spotted him and immediately rushed towards him.

"Director Chen, are you available for an interview? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to catch a plane." Chen Fei simply explained: "I'm going to Hollywood, and the follow-up work will be carried out there."

These reporters and paparazzi usually have first-hand information, especially the schedules and plans of directors and stars in the film and television industry, which they have already memorized.

At this time, a reporter asked, "Are you going to shoot Avengers 2?"

"Oh?" Fade Chen looked at him in surprise: "Are you well-informed?"

"Hehe." The man smiled and said, "Marvel has already issued a notice that Avengers 2 will start filming soon, and your name is the only one listed as the director."

"Okay, I have to go check in. Please don't follow me. It won't disturb other passengers."

Chen Fei moved very quickly. The reporters didn't get to ask much information before they watched him disappear at the VIP entrance.

Before the plane took off, related news had already appeared on major entertainment news websites. "After attending the premiere of the movie "Coming Home", Director Chen Fei has now rushed to Hollywood to prepare for a new project."

"The Hollywood super sci-fi blockbuster "Avengers 2" is about to start filming, and Chen Fei will continue to serve as the director."

"It is reported that Liu Yifei has also appeared at the airport before, and it is suspected that she will go to Hollywood to launch related publicity for "Frozen."

All kinds of news spread quickly and spread to the entire film and television industry in a short period of time.

After hearing the news that Chen Fei had left the country, many production companies breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

There's no way around it. Whenever this guy is in the country, he always makes big news from time to time, making people nervous.

Everyone originally thought that May would be the month dominated by domestic films, but the Amazing Spider-Man 5, a joint production by Sony and Marvel, earned 2 million on the first day of its release, which completely blew away all the domestic films!

I have to say, imported sci-fi blockbusters are really awesome!
Chen Fei seems to be able to easily make a super science fiction movie like this.

Under such circumstances, his existence is really scary for other film and television production companies.

Those domestic films released at the same time have no chance of survival!
However, just when many people thought that their survival pressure would be less after Chen Fei left, just one night later, Feiyue Film and Television came up with a new operation.

"The latest news from the Film Bureau is that the action, crime, and thriller film script "Sicario" submitted by Feiyue Films has been successfully reviewed and will be officially launched for preparation from today."

“It is reported that the film is set on the border of China and the Golden Triangle, and tells the story of an elite team of law enforcement officers and mysterious agents taking down a drug trafficking organization.”

"It has been confirmed that the film will be directed by Lu Yang, and the producer and supervisor will be Zhong Lifang, the former general manager of Xiaoma Pentium and the current manager of Feiyue Film and Television's production department."

“The relevant casting and selection plans have not been made public yet.”

"Since the filming location will be in the Golden Triangle, the preparatory work will be very complicated and the start time is expected to be three months from now."

Seeing the sudden announcement, all the production companies in the industry were confused.

If you want to leave, just leave. Why are you staying for a new movie project? What the hell is going on?

Not to mention anything else, just the name "Sicario" and the two features of "filming location in the Golden Triangle" are enough to prove that the investment in this movie will not be too small.

For a time, there was constant discussion in the industry:

"Who would shoot a movie in that damn place called the Golden Triangle? Are you trying to save your life?"

"My goodness, TV dramas and movies about fighting against drug dealers are common, but it's really rare to see a scene shot deep inside the drug dealers' base camp!"

"Feiyue Films is getting more and more aggressive. It is the leader in the industry and deserves its reputation!"

Compared with the shock and envy of the major film and television companies, many brokerage companies, artists, stars, actors, etc. in the industry became excited instantly.

This kind of big project is definitely hard to come by, and once you can participate in it, it will definitely be of great help in improving your status.

Even if you can't get the main role, you can still strive for roles like the second male lead, third male lead, second female lead, or third female lead.

As we all know, Feiyue Films is not as self-serving as Huayi.

For a film and television company that focuses on "quality first", when choosing roles, they usually only choose the right ones, regardless of whether the pay is high or low.

Therefore, as long as you fight for it bravely, and if you are lucky enough to match the role, you will always gain something.

However, just when many actors, artists, and management companies were preparing to use their connections to inquire about the news, suddenly, a piece of news appeared that once again caused a huge stir in the circle!

"Breaking news! The large-scale outdoor reality show "Running Man" controlled by Feiyue Films, invested by Guangguang, produced by Youku and South Korean teams has officially been launched!"

"According to the announcement of the program team, 'Running Man' will screen and invite permanent and flying guests from the entire film and television industry and the entertainment industry. People from all walks of life are welcome to sign up and participate."

"The variety show is initially planned to have seven permanent guests, including one woman and six men. At the same time, there will also be a number of flying guests participating in the recording during each episode."

"According to public information, the copyright of "Running Man" comes from South Korea, and its prototype is the popular South Korean variety show "Running Man."

"The program will set up some unique game segments and challenge tasks, such as tearing name tags and using acupressure boards. As an outdoor competitive reality show, it aims to showcase the guests' excellent qualities such as team spirit, physical fitness and wisdom through various games and challenges."

"It is reported that when the program was first launched, director Chen Fei vigorously promoted the introduction of copyrights. This may become the flagship of Youku's variety show section..."

When various media and reporters announced the relevant project contents of "Running Man" one by one, it immediately attracted the attention and heated discussions of the entire entertainment industry.

Compared to the project called "Sicario", the variety show "Running Man" is even more attractive than the former.

Previously, the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", which was also introduced from South Korea, has confirmed to the outside world the influence of super hit variety shows!

All the guests participating in the event, if they were first-line stars before, have now seen their net worth doubled and their status skyrocket!
As for those artists below the second tier, or even those outside the third tier or eighteenth tier, as long as they can participate in it, they can easily become popular.

Especially during the Spring Festival period, when Mango TV made it into a movie and released it, it directly earned more than 6 million yuan at the box office, making the producers earn a lot of money!
And now, "Running Man", which is even more popular than "Where Are We Going, Dad?", has been introduced to China again. What this means is self-evident.

For a time, a large number of brokerage companies and artist studios in the circle were unable to sit still.

Just by playing the reality show game, not only can you earn back your salary, but you can also gain a large number of fans and raise your status...

This is absolutely beneficial with no harm at all!

However, according to the information released, there are only seven permanent guests, which means that this variety show is completely one-size-fits-all!
The contracted actors of those small agencies and artist studios have no motivation to take action except to be jealous.

How could such a large-scale variety show, jointly produced by Youku, Feiyue Films, and Guangguang, recruit small artists like them?

If nothing unexpected happens, the guests finally chosen will definitely be second-tier or above, or even entirely composed of first-tier actors.

Among these, relationships and background are even more important criteria.

"Jia Jia, do you think I have a chance to participate in this show and become the permanent female guest?"

Yang Mi was very envious of the only female member in the permanent guest lineup.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that if the configuration is one woman and six men, then this female member will definitely be the only "princess" in the team.

With the increase in exposure, this "princess" will surely soar high, break out of the circle, and become one of the top young actresses in the country!

Yang Mi is currently lacking such an identity. As long as she can participate in this variety show and cooperate with many hit movies and TV series, it is not impossible for her to become a figure comparable to Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi.

However, after hearing Yang Mi's words, Zeng Jia didn't know what to say for a moment.

She really wanted Yang Mi to sober up, but she was also worried that she wouldn't be able to "fool" her after she sobered up.

Finally, she had no choice but to reply: "I will help you contact the production team. You are now one of the four famous young actresses in China. There is definitely a great hope that you can participate in the recording of this variety show."

Hearing this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Yang Mi's face.

At the same time, Yang Ying on the other side also found Huang Xiaoming impatiently.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Director Chen? Can you ask for me? This variety show is perfect for me. I have enough confidence that I can become the mainland version of Song Ji Hyo."

Hearing his girlfriend's request, Huang Xiaoming didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He really wanted to touch Yang Ying's head to see if she had a fever. How could she actually say such nonsense?
