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

Chapter 699: Traffic returned to China, and lost a full million! Who will be the regular female guest of Running Man?

There are actually only three tricks used in shooting commercial science fiction films.

Superstars + big scenes + special effects.

With the vigorous development of the Hollywood film industry system, the filming process of science fiction films such as those produced by Marvel is just like driving screws on an assembly line.

As the factory supervisor, Chen Fei’s task is to control the integrity of every scene.

"Scarlett, lift your legs a little higher. The Black Widow you play needs to be charming all the time. Do you know what charm is? It means making men unable to take their eyes off you once they see you!"

On the set, Chen Fei would take out a loud speaker from time to time and point out the mistakes of every actor.

Another busy day came to an end. After bidding farewell to the crew and declining Scarlett's invitation to dinner, Fade Chen returned to the hotel.

After taking a shower, he logged onto Weibo to check the first weekend box office performance of Coming Home.

I have to say that Zhang Yimou is still stable. He easily earned 9365 million in box office in the first three days of the weekend and is about to break million.

Jia Yue's face must have been smiling so much at this moment, and the official website of LeTV Pictures would send a new message every few minutes to congratulate "Coming Home" on its box office success.

“I don’t know how many more people will fall into his trap.”

Chen Fei muttered to himself, exited the homepage, and checked the latest hot news on Weibo's hot search list in recent days.

What surprised him was that the recent popularity on Weibo was concentrated on an idol who returned from South Korea, and various media outlets also devoted a lot of space to report on him.

"Following Lu Han, the captain of South Korean idol group EXO, Wu Yifan, officially announced his withdrawal from the group and returned to China. His super high popularity caused a traffic jam at the Capital Airport on the day of his return. His popularity is so high that it is shocking!"

"Faced with Wu Yifan's return to fame, major domestic film and television companies, entertainment companies, and brokerage companies have flocked to him and offered him olive branches."

"Mango TV offered a sky-high signing fee and said it would handle Wu Yifan's lawsuit with SM Entertainment and give him back his freedom."

"Several major companies in the industry, led by Huayi, Chengtian, Bona, Wanda, Stellar, and LeTV, have expressed their welcome to Wu Yifan. It is worth mentioning that Feiyinghuang Agency has never participated in any of them."

"After returning to China, Wu Yifan showed up at a place to relax. He was immediately surrounded by thousands of fans. The cohesion of his fans is terrifying!"

After seeing these news, Chen Fei had to admit that South Korea's ability to create stars was really strong.

Any boy band or girl band can accumulate a large number of fans after debuting for two or three years, releasing a few new songs and performing a few dances.

Although most of them are brain-dead fans, it is precisely because they are brain-dead that they do not consider the consequences when doing things.

And this Wu Yifan is just like Han Geng back then. As soon as he returned to China, he caused a huge impact on the domestic entertainment industry.

Obviously, he sneaked back to China, and maybe he would sue his original company and demand termination of the contract, but he still made such a big scene, as if he was the return of an international superstar. It's ridiculous.

However, these people have come to a good era.

With Internet companies about to enter the market, future "star-making plans" will only become easier and easier.

If Han Geng just barely stepped on the edge of the trend, then Wu Yifan was undoubtedly directly on the crest of the trend.

However, the higher you fly now, the harder you are likely to fall in the future!

Once the reputation of this kind of traffic star collapses, there will be no recovery.

He simply relied on external forces, but he was illiterate. Once he was exposed, he would suffer backlash.

This is also the reason why Chen Fei specifically told Huo Wenxi that the company would not sign traffic stars.

It feels good to make money, but it doesn't last long. Once such a traffic star falls, the company behind him will also be affected and criticized.

Instead of this, it’s better not to touch it in the first place.

……

"My promotion has come to an end for now. I will come to see you tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei called suddenly, her tone was very disgusting.

As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage. I haven't seen you for several days, so it's inevitable that I miss you very much.

"Okay, send me your flight information when you're done and I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up."

"Yeah, you're the best, give me a kiss mua~"

While talking on the phone, Fade Chen looked through some of the latest emails he received.

In addition to some emails from the "Running Man" and "Sicario" project teams reporting on work progress, he also saw an email from Su Guohai.

Recently, with the official collapse of Qvod, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the Copyright Bureau, the Ministry of Public Security, the Cyberspace Administration of China and other departments held a conference for major film and television companies, entertainment companies and many Internet companies in the mainland.

During the meeting, the leaders clearly stated the results of the fight against piracy, as well as a series of plans for the future in the fight against piracy.

This is undoubtedly very good news for the film and television industry.

But looking at the email sent by Su Guohai, Chen Fei slowly frowned.

Piracy is gone, and the spring of the film and television industry has come, but at the same time, the era when Internet capital begins to "dance wildly" is also coming!

Half an hour later, Chen Fei ended the call with Liu Yifei, and then called Gu Yongqiang.

"I heard that the Qvod app has been completely removed from the shelves?"

"Yes, the business license has been revoked, and the founders seem to have run away. This company is completely finished."

Chen Fei talked about the topic that interested him the most: "Where are the technicians?"

"Some of them went in, and some were divided up by multiple Internet companies." Speaking of this, Gu Yongqiang could not hide his joy: "We acted quickly, and most of the people were poached by Youku. I have to say that these people's skills are really strong..."

Gu Yongqiang himself is also a technical guy, so he is very optimistic about the technology these people have mastered.

With such a group of high-tech talents joining Youku, I believe the company will be able to move to a higher level!

"By the way, Alibaba has started to frequently contact Youku's small shareholders in recent days. It seems that they have not given up the idea of ​​investing in Youku."

"Let them get lost as far as possible. They are a bunch of termites. Once they are infected, they can't be washed away."

Chen Fei now has a very bad impression of Alibaba, especially those in the management, who are all ruthless and cruel.

They are too overbearing. If acquisitions fail, they will buy shares, then eat away at the company step by step, and finally drive away the original entrepreneurial team and replace them with a group of management who know nothing, until the company is killed...

Chen Fei really couldn't figure it out. Were they sick? Why did they always do this kind of thing that hurt others and didn't benefit themselves?
……

The next morning, the crew of "Avengers 2" welcomed the first female actress to guest star, Liu Yifei!
Everyone in the crew was very friendly towards this Chinese actress who enjoys a great reputation all over the world.

Robert Downey Jr. said enthusiastically: "Crystal, welcome, you are the most beautiful Chinese actress I have ever seen!"

A group of people around immediately echoed the praises, praising Liu Yifei to the heavens and the earth, saying that she was unique.

Suddenly, Miss Liu's laughter as loud as a silver bell rang out in the set.

Being praised by others is a very happy thing, not to mention being praised by many international superstars.

The shots that Liu Yifei appeared in in "Avengers 2" were very short, and the total duration did not exceed 5 minutes.

But as a female doctor who masters the "Regeneration Cradle" technology and also created "Vision", her existence is very important.

It is no exaggeration to say that the character "Zhao Helen" can be called the golden supporting role in "Avengers 2".

Although Liu Yifei has a celebrity face, when it comes to acting, she is not like those traffic stars who would find fault with everything on the set.

She has excellent English expression and cross-cultural communication skills.

Even though she needed to maintain tacit cooperation with other international actors during the filming process to complete various complex action scenes and special effects scenes, she successfully completed all the filming tasks within the specified time with her professionalism and unremitting efforts.

"Hehe, my guest appearance is over. What are you going to reward me with?"

In the car, Liu Yifei was still wearing her doctoral gown, hugging Chen Fei's arm, and acting coquettishly and happily.

"Reward?" Fade Chen pretended to be very serious and thought for a moment, then said in a serious tone: "As a reward, you can directly experience my temperature, how about it?"

Liu Yifei was stunned at first, and her face instantly turned red. She bit her teeth lightly and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Are you rewarding me, or are you rewarding yourself?"

"Haha, let's reward each other."

Miss Liu glared at him angrily, but ultimately did not refuse.

After all, she was in her safe period these days, so it would be okay if she was a little bolder, and Chen Fei seemed to be able to control himself...

Time passed quickly and it was already the end of the month, when news of the 67th Cannes Film Festival reached Chen Fei's ears.

"Winter Hibernation" directed by Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan won the Palme d'Or for Best Film, "Miracle" directed by Italian female director Alice Rohrwach won the Jury Prize, British actor Timothy Spall won the Best Actor Award for "Mr. Turner", and American actress Julianne Moore won the Best Actress Award for "Maps to the Stars".

The pie at Cannes this year was divided very well, but unfortunately, domestic films did not get a big enough piece of the pie.

However, the domestic film and television industry has not given up on taking advantage of the popularity of Cannes.

During the 11-day film festival, there was a constant stream of news and stories about domestic films and domestic filmmakers.

Whether it is Wu Yu's "The Crossing", Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" or Jiang Wen's "One Step Away", they all occupy the front cover of the film festival program.

At the same time, several movies that were released in late April also came to an end.

The total box office of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was reported to be 3.8 million RMB, which can be said to have gained both fame and fortune, and once again shocked the entire literary and artistic film circle.

"You Are the One" successfully concluded with a box office of 4.6 million yuan, once again proving to the outside world the super high box office appeal of youth films.

As for "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth", it was forced to be removed from the screen by theaters on the day "Coming Home" was released.

The box office performance of 1.2 million compared with the investment of 1 million once again proved to the outside world that Zhen Zixuan and Huang Shengyi are "box office poison".

Previously, LeTV, as a co-producer, also claimed that it would launch the second part of the "Frozen" series, but now it has completely disappeared, and even the pre-heating Weibo post was deleted quietly.

A movie lost more than 100 million yuan, and they still promote a sequel?

……

Compared to the bustling film industry, the television industry has also been quite lively recently.

Previously, many media outlets have been continuously releasing notices:

"The TV series "Day and Night" starring Pan Yueming and produced by Feiyue Films and Youku will premiere on the Youku platform on May 5!"

Originally, the news that "Day and Night Chase" was about to be launched has always been the number one hot news in the television circle, but no one expected that Dong Bailian would announce her comeback again at this critical juncture.

She first posted an announcement on Weibo, saying that the TV series "Beauty Like a Painting" starring her will be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV for the second round on May 5.

Afterwards, she announced in a high-profile manner that she would join the TV series "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" starring Zhao Yanzi, and play the second female lead.

Many people’s first reaction after seeing this news is surprise!

Wasn't this woman, who was labeled as a "lustful woman" and a "white lotus", forced to quit the entertainment industry by netizens? Why did she suddenly make a comeback?

Just when many netizens were puzzled, a Weibo post by Chen Kun revealed the truth.

This first-line male star in the circle directly posted a photo of him and Dong Bailian on Weibo, and wrote: "Come on, sister! I wish you a brand new beginning!"

Afterwards, Dong Bailian replied below: "Thank you for your recommendation, brother. I will definitely work hard and will not let you and Director Zhao down..."

Seeing this, everyone finally understood.

This woman actually tricked Chen Kun into finding her a new drama, officially announcing her comeback.

She was clearly prepared for this comeback.

Although many people were scolding her online, many online trolls also emerged to defend her.

However, the articles posted by those internet trolls made netizens feel very disgusted.

"Putting aside the facts, the man is not at fault at all?", "As a mother, how can she raise her child if she doesn't return to filming?", "Pan Yueming, come out and say something, why don't you forgive the child's mother? Are you still a man?"...

Looking at the titles of the articles posted by these internet trolls, Chen Fei felt like his eyes had been opened!
"Is this guy trying to whitewash himself or blacken himself?"

The public relations department of Feiyinghuang Agency is no pushover either. Facing these articles, they launched a sharp counterattack!

"What did the man do wrong?"

"It's not like the man didn't pay child support?"

"She was the one who cheated. Why should the man forgive her?"

For a while, both sides started public relations operations, and most netizens stood on Pan Yueming's side, and attacked Dong Bailian mercilessly without any mercy.

……

"That Dong Bailian is very smart. She even brought her child to find Pan Yueming, hoping that he would give her a chance."

Chen Fei was quite surprised when he heard Huo Wenxi's description on the other end of the phone.

This woman is quite capable and she chooses her targets very well.

"What does Pan Yueming mean?"

"You can let her go, but you have to hand over the child."

"Haha, I guess she won't agree."

Chen Fei saw it very clearly. If a woman who had made a mistake wanted to establish herself as an image, tying up the child was the best option.

Once you give up custody, there will be no recovery!

"You guessed right." Huo Wenxi was quite emotional: "She has been promoting the mother-son relationship recently, saying how difficult it is for her to raise her son alone. I heard that she is even planning to take her son to participate in a parent-child variety show..."

Chen Fei was not interested in listening any further and interrupted directly, "Let Pan Yueming think about it himself. We just need to respect his choice. After all, this is their family affair."

"Ok, I see."

"Of course, before that, we must ensure that the TV series and movies in which he starred and guest-starred are broadcast smoothly."

After finishing the topic about Dong Bailian, Chen Fei suddenly thought of another thing.

"By the way, how is the female guest for Running Man confirmed? Has the company chosen a suitable candidate?"

"Almost." Huo Wenxi responded: "In fact, there are not many people to choose from. The vast majority of actresses still want to pursue the path of acting, to win awards and challenge their acting skills. Only a few female artists who are not suitable for the path of acting are competing for the position of the permanent female guest."

Chen Fei asked curiously, "Who are the competitors?"

"The most popular candidate is Gulinaza, who played the 'Queen of Jingjue' in the 'Ghost Blowing Out the Light' series, followed closely by Dilireba, who starred in 'Anarhan' last year.

Because of their limited image, they are destined not to achieve much success as actors, and participating in variety shows is a good choice."

Chen Fei nodded silently, agreeing with this statement.

He didn't pay much attention to matters related to the election, because both Guli Nazha and Dilraba Dilmurat were from his own company.

Just make sure that the benefits do not go to outsiders.

"By the way, the annual graduation season is here again. Has the company signed any new artists recently?"

"There are no new artists, but we did sign a male actor who was terminated from another company."

"Oh?" Chen Fei asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"Xie Miao is the actor who played Ma Baojun in Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy. He is very good at action scenes and is a rare actor in the industry who has real kung fu skills."

"Thank you?!"

Hearing this name, Fade Chen instantly recalled a series of classic Hong Kong action movies such as "The New Five Ancestors of Shaolin", "Peter Pan", "God of Gamblers 2", and "Young and Dangerous".

Xie Miao was once hailed as the action actor with the greatest potential to succeed Li Lianjie. If he had not retired to study martial arts, he would definitely have made some achievements in the field of action movies now!

While thinking about his resume in his mind, suddenly, a gleam of light flashed before Fade Chen's eyes.

"How about this, you arrange for him to audition for the crew of Sicario and let Zhong Lifang judge whether he is suitable for the role of the male lead."

Male protagonist?

On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi was stunned at first, but then quickly reacted.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go inform him now."
