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

Chapter 715 Enjoy it? All those with the surname Chen have a hobby of reciting poetry

The next morning, just as Chen Fei returned to the crew of "Avengers 2" to finish the work, an article from "Forbes" magazine in 2003 suddenly made the headlines of the hot search lists of major foreign media.

The magazine detailed the cult tendencies of the company headed by Keith Raniere.

In addition to the detailed content, there is also an introduction to the Nxivm sect founded by Keith Raniere:
"Nxivm is a self-help cult founded by Keith Raniere in Albany, New York in 1998.

The organization widely recruited members under the banner of "leading a new era of human evolution" and promoted its main project "Senior Manager Success Training Course" by "selling courses" and charging high tuition fees.

At the same time, less than half an hour after this article was published, organizations such as the FBI, LAPD, and IRS received a large number of letters of complaint.

The report clearly stated that there is a so-called "sisterhood" organization within NXIVM, whose female members will gradually become sex slaves of the leadership after being brainwashed, and submit personal nude photos, bank account information, etc. as "collateral" so that the leadership can exercise comprehensive control over them.

What’s even more perverted is that the abbreviation of the “master’s” name will be branded on the victim’s pelvis!

After receiving the report, the FBI, LAPD, IRS and other organizations expressed their high attention and immediately sent relevant personnel to conduct investigation.

Just one day later, NXIVM leader Keith Raniere was arrested in a luxury villa near the Mexican coastal resort city of Puerto Vallarta.

Moreover, when he was arrested, he was in the same room with several women and was carrying out a cult-like inheritance.

The next day, he was deported to Texas, which borders Mexico, and was isolated from his "base camp" New York.

Driven by "interested people", the entire investigation, arrest and verification process were all exposed on the Internet and reprinted by hundreds of media outlets.

After the news was completely exposed, the whole United States was shocked!

What's even more outrageous is that in addition to promoting a cult, Keith Raniere was also found to be involved in a number of crimes including surname trading, forced labor, and human trafficking.

For a time, the actions of the evil sect "Nxivm" attracted widespread attention from the society.

Various groups, led by LGBT and "women's rights protection", immediately flocked to the scene and demanded that the relevant departments must investigate and punish this evil sect organization headed by Keith Raniere.

Faced with the oppression of the general environment, those female politicians who were originally prepared to protect Keith Raniere immediately changed their stance and positioned themselves as victims of deception.

In just half a day, many victims went to the LAPD to report the case, claiming that they had been persecuted.

And Keith Raniere's personal assets were ruthlessly seized by the IRS, the most terrifying official organization in the United States, for tax reasons!

When Keith Raniere, who was in prison, finally received news from the outside world after great effort, he discovered that the sky of Nxivm sect had collapsed!

After the leader of the cult was arrested, his female assistant Allison Mack appeared in the local court in Brooklyn, New York, and pleaded guilty in court, admitting that she manipulated women for NXIVM and developed them into sex slaves. She also cried in court and apologized to these women.

NXIVM's second-in-command and Raniere's right-hand man, Nancy "Prefect," also pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy.

Catherine Oxenberg also appeared in public with her daughter, saying that she had been brainwashed and almost led her daughter into the devil's den. Fortunately, she turned back and came to her senses in time, thus avoiding a tragedy.

All these things prove one thing: the Nxivm sect is completely finished!
Inside the prison, Keith Raniere collapsed in his cell, his eyes lifeless, having completely lost all hope for the future.

He knew in his heart that he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in prison, and there was no possibility of turning things around.

The plates are fucking smashed, what the hell is going on?
Just as he was in a daze, the prison guard who was "easily" bribed by him and helped him connect to the Internet to check the news from the outside world suddenly took two steps forward and came in front of him.

"Mr. Lanier."

The prison guard called out his name first, and when he came to his senses, he continued, "Someone asked me to give you a message."

"What?" Keith Lanier was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"In your next life, you'd better open your eyes. Don't mess with the wrong people, and don't have the wrong thoughts."

Hearing the sound, Keith Raniere was startled!
He figured it out in an instant!

No wonder I was caught so quickly, it turns out there was someone behind the scenes controlling and directing everything!
"Who? Tell me, who is he?!"

Keith Raniere roared hysterically, his eyes red, staring straight at the prison guard.

There are too many women he is planning to target recently, and he has no idea who it is based on just a few words.

"I'm sorry." The prison guard shrugged. "I'm just a messenger. I'm not qualified to know who the other party is."

After that, he turned around and left.

Inside the prison, besides Keith Raniere who collapsed on the ground, there was a little mouse in the corner staring at him with a pair of round eyes.

The mouse showed great interest in its new companion.

……

It was another evening, and several guests came to the golf course in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

They were very generous and booked the entire golf course for a whole day with a wave of their hands.

It is a pity that they did not ask for caddies to accompany them, so many caddies could only watch the sky-high tips go away from them.

"Boom!"

As the golf ball easily went into the hole, a smile broke out on the face of James Comey, the current FBI top director.

He turned his head, looked at the Chinese face next to him, and said with a smile: "Fei, you lose this round."

Fade Chen first raised his hands to applaud, then shrugged helplessly: "James, I admit that I am not as good as you in playing golf."

After saying that, he waved towards a place not far away.

Bruce received the signal, ran over quickly, and presented the prize for winning the game.

After taking the gift box, James Comey weighed it gently, feeling the weight inside, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

Unlike what he expected, the gift seemed a little too light.

But then, Chen Fei's introduction rang in his ears: "I feel that Sydney is a very good metropolis, with beautiful beaches, mild climate, and a relatively stable political and economic environment.

Our prize this time is a beachfront villa that is perfect for pleasure. In his spare time, Mr. James will have no shortage of places to enjoy a high-quality lifestyle?"

When he heard the words "beach house", James Comey smiled again.

"Haha, it's a very good prize. I like it very much."

After working so hard for so long, shouldn’t you go out and enjoy yourself?

……

Half an hour later.

At the entrance of the stadium, Bruce felt a little emotional as he watched the specially modified bulletproof car driving away.

“Rights are indeed a very good thing.”

Fade Chen tilted his head slightly and looked at him with a smile: "Why? Do you also want to experience the feeling of being in power?"

Bruce shrugged. "How can I be qualified? Besides, I'm afraid I can't even last a single round playing with these politicians."

Chen Fei pointedly said: "The president cannot manage the entire country alone. Most of the work is done by the staff."

"Me? The president?" Bruce sneered, "Fei, don't joke with me. If I run for president, I won't even have a 1% chance."

“Who asked you to run for president?”

Fade Chen rolled his eyes, and then in the next second he said in a persuasive tone: "I am planning to buy an island, but it is not convenient for me to show up in public for this purpose. Are you interested in being my agent?"

“Buy an island?”

This situation is not uncommon in the United States, and it is common for wealthy people to buy islands.

"Sure." Bruce agreed without thinking.

But the next second, Chen Fei's words made his heart pound!
"I plan to develop this island into a model that focuses on tourism, film, culture, and technology. It will also have its own security, economy, policies, technology, diplomacy, culture, and territory..."

“WTF???”

Bruce was stunned. Was this just buying an island?

Why does it sound like they're going to do something "big"?
……

More than half of July has passed quietly, it went by so fast!

Judging from the current box office market, it is a foregone conclusion that "Transformers 4" will break 20 billion, the only difference is whether it arrives earlier or later.

The potential of "The Breakup Master" has been almost exhausted, but since the total box office has exceeded 6 million, it is certain to make huge profits.

Although the daily new box office shown yesterday was still 1425 million, the heavy release of "Tiny Times 3: The Last Airbender" today will inevitably have an impact on the former.

For this sequel of Guo Jingming, Huace, Lechuang, and Matt Culture, the companies responsible for the promotion and distribution, have put a lot of effort into it, and various marketing methods have emerged one after another.

Especially on the day of the release, a large number of behind-the-scenes footage, as well as the actors' monologues and interviews, appeared online, just to help boost the box office.

However, their efforts only lasted for one morning before they were suppressed by several pieces of news coming back from Hollywood.

“Reprinted from Hollywood Movie News:
The 87th Academy Awards has announced the nomination list. Director Chen Fei will begin his fourth Oscar-nominated journey with "The Revenant".

In addition, the biographical film "Dangal", written by Chen Fei and directed by Indian director Rajkumar Hiram, has also been nominated for the Academy Awards and is expected to compete for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

At this moment, the entire domestic film industry was stunned!
When "The Revenant" was previously being screened, everyone was already speculating whether Chen Fei was going to make another big move.

And now the facts have proved that he is indeed preparing for another big wave!
If he succeeds in winning an Oscar, the number of Oscar trophies he has will reach a new peak, and he may even surpass many Hollywood directors!

When this was realized, the domestic film and television circles were in an uproar.

I've seen some fierce ones, but I've never seen anything as fierce as this!

Winning the European Triple Gold Grand Slam is already impressive enough, and it has already broken many people's records.

But now, he is aiming to break the Oscar record. Isn't it obvious that he is playing with fire in someone else's stove?
For a moment, Chen Fei's Weibo was completely overwhelmed.

Some congratulated him in advance, some were pessimistic, and some were arrogant and lectured him...

Given the huge popularity, Chen Fei simply posted a Weibo to respond to the reasons and purposes of his renewed pursuit of the Oscars.

"How about Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is now.

Chong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut faintly.

Zeng Yun was born with a chest swing, and he decided to enter the home bird.

I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains!"

As soon as this ancient poem came out, many well-known directors in the circle came to hear the news and spoke out collectively in a rare move:

"Sure enough, all of you Chens have a hobby of reciting poetry. If it were me, I would probably just curse. I still have to learn from you!"

"If we can break the Oscar record, that's great. The younger generation must be determined to make progress. We are already old, and the future will definitely belong to the young!"

"Foreign awards are just so-so. I still hope he can focus more on promoting Chinese culture."

"I wish him success, Oscar. I will continue to fight in the future. It's not difficult for me. After all, I have won a good record in the Golden Globe Award before."

"..."

At this time, La Beikang, who was in the office, also saw the news online.

When he saw Chen Fei preparing to compete for an Oscar again, he was delighted, but suddenly recalled his recent meeting with Universal Pictures.

The two parties have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement and are prepared to each contribute part of the funds to make a truly large-scale and grand Sino-foreign co-produced adventure fantasy blockbuster.

According to the person in charge of the other party, in the next project establishment, it is necessary to gather the top actors from both sides and let the most awesome directors to direct it, to create distinctive Chinese elements, and to distribute the finished film to countries around the world!
Just by listening to the plan, La Beikang was already very excited.

Sino-foreign co-productions are a reflection of political achievements!
You know, Han Sanping has been working hard in this area before and has made a lot of achievements.

Now that he is in power, he naturally has to focus on this aspect.

According to Universal Pictures, they will find a suitable, box office-successful, world-renowned male actor, while the selection of other female leads and directors will naturally be the responsibility of China Film Group.

La Beikang has many candidates in mind, such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, etc., who may be able to do the job.

But when it comes to the most suitable one, it must be Chen Fei!
Looking at the various reports about Chen Fei on the screen, he couldn't help but fantasize.

Top director, top investment, top lineup...

If this movie could be made, even Pacific Rim would probably be outdone!
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited and turned to the secretary next to him and said:

"Xiao Liu, you must communicate with Universal Pictures in a timely manner. Once the script is complete, it must be sent to me as soon as possible. I have to take this script to find the director."

"Okay, La Dong."

The secretary responded seriously and kept the matter firmly in his mind.

The next second, the secretary mentioned another matter: "Mr. La, the Transformers 4 film submitted an application for an extension of the secret key yesterday. The time is one month. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Extension key?

La Beikang was slightly stunned and immediately became troubled.

If this movie was only produced by DreamWorks Pictures, there would be no need to even consider it. Just kill it directly to avoid it suppressing other domestic films.

But the key issue is that one of the producers of this movie is Walt Disney Studios!

This company is currently China Film's most frequent partner in Hollywood and has the most projects. If the application for an extension of the secret key is rejected, it is likely to affect the cooperation between the two parties.

But if they agree, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to other domestic films, and many production companies will surely come to protest.

After pondering for a long time, La Beikang still couldn't come up with a reasonable solution.

"You go out first."

He waved his hand to signal his secretary to leave first, then took out his mobile phone and found Tong Gang's contact information in the address book.

When you are undecided, talk to your senior leader and you may gain something.

Besides, the extension key still needs the final approval from the Film Bureau.

……

In the film market, "Tiny Times 3" successfully achieved a first-day box office of 1.12 million yuan on the day of its release amid the cheers and support of fans.

The reason why it was able to achieve such excellent results, in addition to the support of fans, is mainly because the three movies "Transformers 4", "The Good Wife", and "Old Boy: Way of the Dragon" gave it a lot of screening time.

And when the number 1.12 million was exposed, as expected, the entire film and television industry was shocked!

In just one morning, Guo Jingming, "Tiny Times 3" and the main creative members of the crew actually dominated the first to sixth places on the Weibo hot search list, which shows how crazy his fans are!

"Mi Mi, congratulations! Not only is she the leading actress of two movies with a box office of 6 million, but she is also the leading actress of a movie with a box office of over million in a single day. This is such a big deal!"

In Jiaxing Company, Zeng Jia congratulated Yang Mi with joy, as if she had already seen the endless resources that would come in the future.

However, unlike Zeng Jia's joy, Yang Mi's expression was very complicated, even filled with a bit of annoyance.

"What's the point of 'Breakup Guru' making over 6 million? What's the point of 'Tiny Times 3' making over million on the first day? The investors did make money, but the reputation of the movie is ruined!

You don’t know, every day there are so many people coming to my Weibo and scolding me as the ‘Queen of Bad Movies’.”

Yang Mi was feeling extremely depressed at the moment.

Finally, a movie starring myself grossed over 6 million yuan, but it turned out to be a bad movie that was ridiculed by everyone. I can’t even describe how uncomfortable it felt.

The first-day box office of "Tiny Times 3" seemed very high, but when she plucked up the courage to take a look at the reviews from netizens and film critics, she was completely shocked!
