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

Chapter 725 Stupid PR level!
After finishing the conversation with Chen Fei, La Beikang rubbed his brows in annoyance.

In just two days, several meetings of all sizes have been held, which is undoubtedly a test for him.

In addition to handling company affairs, I also have to challenge those old stubborn people, and I simply don’t have enough energy every day.

Even though those old guys are all over 60 years old, they have more energy than young people. Especially when they are arguing, they are like clockwork and never get tired!
"Mr. La, why don't you go back and have some rest first?" The secretary at the side greeted him with concern.

"No, it's okay."

La Peikang shook his head, took a deep breath, and then warned: "Director Tong's intention is very clear. This time, we must give an explanation to the outside world. Even if there are more people who oppose it, it will be useless. We cannot go against the will of the people."

The secretary turned slightly and asked: "Which us?"

"Go check the company's current projects. If you find any bad artists who have been involved in pornography, gambling, or drugs, deal with them immediately. Don't let them become an example."

"Okay, Mr. La, I'll do it right away."

The secretary responded and quickly left the office.

At this time, La Beikang poured himself a cup of strong tea, then turned on his computer to read his email messages.

Universal Pictures has already prepared the new script, and he has been communicating with them these days regarding relevant actor information and some project preparation plans.

In addition, the choice of director is also of paramount importance!

As a co-production, it would be reasonable to choose a foreign director.

However, given that the performance of Sino-foreign co-productions directed by foreign directors in recent years has been poor, Universal Pictures finally agreed to let a Chinese director direct the film.

They suggested three candidates, namely Chen Fei, Li An and Zhang Yimou.

As for La Peikang himself, he still prefers Chen Fei to direct, followed by Zhang Yimou, and finally Li An.

Universal Pictures has similar intentions, and Chen Fei is also the first choice.

Both parties are eyeing him now, and what they are currently negotiating is how much director's salary they should offer him.

La Peikang supported Chen Fei's idea of ​​using his director's salary to participate in the investment and finally share the box office revenue, but Universal Pictures was thinking of paying him off in one lump sum.

The two sides are currently arguing over this matter.

Since the online negotiations had failed to reach an agreement, Universal Pictures prepared to send a representative to sit down and have a proper discussion.

La Beikang has already made the decision. When the time comes, he will call Chen Fei over so that they can have a good chat and see how to distribute the resources.

As for whether Chen Fei would agree, he had never thought about it at all.

Because in his opinion, Fade Chen had no reason to refuse!

Big investment, Sino-foreign co-production, and a good enough director's salary...

Faced with such conditions, what reason did he have to refuse?

~

A new day has arrived quietly, and just when many people were still paying attention to the incident of Zhang Guoli's son being sent to prison for the second time, the paparazzi suddenly took action!

In less than half an hour, all the gossip about Xu Jinglei and Wu Yifan became a hot topic on Weibo, instantly suppressing the popularity of the former.

When the film project was first launched, many people had guessed that Xu Jinglei was ready to marry a young girl.

And now it turns out that she did just that!

Although both the man and woman expressed their anger on Weibo, saying that this was pure slander and that they would pursue the legal responsibility of the paparazzi...

However, no matter how you look at it, that clarification statement revealed a sense of powerlessness.

Many fans outside the circle chose to deceive themselves and firmly believed that this was just publicity and hype for the soon-to-be-completed movie "There Is a Place Only We Know".

But people in the industry see it very clearly.

Xu Cairen had finally been promoted from an oiran to a princess. She had served so many old people in the past, so naturally she had to seek some benefits for herself now.

"Boom boom boom!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Chen Fei's eating melon.

"Enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was slowly pushed open, and Jiang Xuerou walked in with a stack of documents.

"Mr. Chen, the casting lists for several TV series have been finalized. Would you like to take a look?"

"Ah."

Fade Chen nodded slightly, took the list, and looked down at it.

First of all, there is "The Best of Us". In terms of cast selection, the heroine was Tan Songyun, a contracted artist of Feiyinghuang Entertainment Company, and the hero was Li Xian, who was also a contracted artist of the company.

As for the drama "Go Go Squid!", because the producers wanted to choose the actors themselves, Chen Fei didn't know most of the people in the drama, and he had never even heard of some of them.

Putting the two documents aside, Chen Fei looked at the cast list of "Ode to Joy".

Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Wang Ziwen, Yang Zi, Qiao Xin...

It is still the familiar 5-member protagonist lineup.

Although there are a few people who have their own controversies, they are undoubtedly qualified in terms of acting skills.

"Okay, just them...eh?"

Chen Fei was just about to nod, but suddenly, he found a name in the cast that left a deep impression on him.

Yin Xiaotian?
What shocked him was that there were four more words following the name.

"Internal campaign!"

He knew very well what these four words meant. It meant that Yin Xiaotian had actually joined the Feiyinghuang Agency!
“When did he join the company?”

Looking at the name on Chen Fei's finger, Jiang Xueru was slightly stunned. After thinking carefully, he replied, "It seems to have been more than a month. His acting skills are very good. When he was auditioning for this role, other candidates who also participated in the competition could not compare with him."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, his eyes showing a slightly complicated look.

How could someone who could be targeted by the Stab Cult be an ordinary person?

Back then, before he was targeted, Yin Xiaotian was a solid first-tier artist.

Unfortunately, things have changed and without a good backer, he was ultimately unable to withstand the oppression from the Stab Cult members.

After secretly sighing in his heart, Fade Chen handed the list back to Jiang Xuerou: "Okay, that's it, announce it."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

Jiang Xue rubbed her lips and turned to leave Chen Fei's office.

When it comes to work efficiency, there is no bad person in the entire Feiyue Film and Television.

Just at noon, news about the three TV series newly launched and prepared by Feiyue Films had spread on the Internet and successfully dominated the headlines.

"Following "Day and Night", "The Journey of Flower", "Red Sorghum" and "Nirvana in Fire", Feiyue Films is about to start shooting a new TV series again."

"So far, the three TV series "The Best of Us", "Together Together" and "Ode to Joy" have officially completed the casting work."

"Yin Xiaotian, the victim of the stabbing cult, announced that he has officially joined Feiyinghuang Entertainment Company and hopes to focus on filming in the future instead of living in fear all day long..."

……

Looking at the news about Feiyue Film and Television, although the reactions of various film and television companies were different, without exception, they were all filled with envy.

"Day and Night" has become a global hit, and "The Journey of Flower" has not only become popular throughout China, it has even given Zhao Liying an extra 3000 million fans!
As for the upcoming "Red Sorghum" and "Nirvana in Fire", they have become the targets and objects that many TV stations are vying for.

Under such circumstances, Feiyue Film and Television's profits can be said to have skyrocketed!
And now, they have launched three more TV drama projects, covering the hottest themes such as youth, workplace, and friendship.

If nothing unexpected happens, these will be three high-quality TV drama projects!
"They have made all the money, so it's fine that they monopolized high-quality film projects, but now they are starting to monopolize high-quality TV series projects. How can this be justified?"

On the Tangren side, Cai Yinong's eyes were almost red with envy.

Back then, when Tangren was working with Feiyue Films, he made a lot of money.

Unfortunately, time has passed and things have changed. Now the two sides have completely severed their relationship and have become rivals. She missed that time very much and fantasized about going back to that time, but this was obviously a foolish dream.

"Mr. Cai, please take a look at the list of actors drawn up by the company. If they are suitable, I will contact them."

The secretary's words brought Cai Yinong back from her daydreaming state.

She turned slightly, took the casting list handed to her by the secretary, and looked at it carefully.

In the mainland film and television industry, there are relatively few works with the theme of youth groups, and those with sports as the main theme are even rarer, especially works with football themes.

Therefore, Cai Yinong hopes to fill this gap by producing such a work and respond to the "campus football" policy that is being promoted vigorously from above.

With the help of screenwriter Bai Yicong, "The Wind and Cloud Eleven" was officially formed.

Among the cast members, most of the characters are contracted artists of Tangren, such as Jiang Shuying, Chen Yao, Lai Yumeng, etc.

However, the name "Hu Ge" was only written behind the male protagonist "Muqi".

Cai Yinong frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Who decided on the role of Hu Ge?"

The secretary was shocked and said quickly, "The screenwriter Mr. Bai Yicong said that he designed the character of Muchi based on the German national team coach Loew and Hugo. It would be best if he could play the male lead."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong's heart moved.

Unlike the conflict between Tang Ren and Liu Shishi, Hu Ge terminated the contract and left normally. Although there were some unpleasantness between the two parties, there is still some friendship between them.

If she called Hu Ge personally to invite him, there would be some hope.

You know, Hu Ge has made quite a splash in the ancient costume drama market this year. If we can invite him, it will definitely bring a lot of popularity to "The Wind and Cloud Eleven".

Thinking of this, Cai Yinong immediately made a decision in his heart.

She handed the list back to the secretary and instructed, "Go contact the others first. I will talk to Hu Ge personally."

……

In the afternoon, the official Weibo account of "See You Tomorrow" announced a piece of news, saying that the film's potential has been exhausted and it will be officially removed from the shelves today.

For a time, many people turned their attention to its box office performance.

When seeing the box office result of 6.15 million, many people's eyes lit up!
There is no doubt that this movie made huge money at the box office.

And because the film has good reputation, Han Han has successfully established a foothold in the film industry.

In comparison, Guo Jingming's side is much more controversial, and because of his high-profile nature, he has suffered a lot of criticism and condemnation.

However, just when a large number of netizens were discussing who was the leading young writer-director between Guo Jingming and Han Han, a "rumor" from a certain media outlet caused a huge controversy across the Internet!

The news said: "Kaiwan Province's popular young actor Ke Zhendong followed in the footsteps of Gao Hu and Zhang Mo. He was arrested in the capital due to a report from Chaoyang residents!"

The news also said that the relevant interrogation has now ended and now we are waiting for the official announcement.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar on the Internet!

Unlike "powerful" actors like Gao Hu and Zhang Mo, Ke Zhendong is one of the top young actors in the current era.

Since the hit of "You Are the Apple of My Eye", and with the release of the "Tiny Times" trilogy, he has accumulated a large number of fans.

And the most important thing is that more than 80% of these fans are brainless fans.

Faced with external slander, fans will naturally not sit idly by.

Less than half an hour after the news came out, a large number of crazy fans appeared on Weibo and other portals, and posted various evidences to support Ko Chen-tung, saying that he was not in the capital at all, so how could he be arrested?
What's worse, some people even started to dox the media outlet that broke the news, claiming that they would sue the media outlet until it went bankrupt!

However, just as fans were speaking up for Ko Chen-tung, his agency behind the scenes issued a statement saying: "Ko Chen-tung is currently out of contact, and the company is temporarily unable to respond to online public opinion..."

Once this reply came out, the meaning of it couldn't be more obvious!
"This level of PR is simply stupid."

Looking at the news online, Fade Chen curled his lips in disdain.

As a public figure, how could he be out of touch for no reason?
With the response from his agency, people in the circle have already guessed it almost exactly. If nothing unexpected happens, this "rumor" should be correct.

Because if this kind of thing is false, the person involved will definitely come out to clarify it at the first time. How could they allow public opinion to ferment?
Only when the person concerned is locked up will states such as "lost contact" and "unable to respond" occur.

In just a few days, several similar incidents have been discovered in the circle.

Under such circumstances, the situation of those companies or association members who oppose the "total ban on artists with bad records" is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

If we don't ban them, they will continue to act recklessly and no matter how hard we try, it won't serve as a lesson at all.

Fade Chen called La Beikang again and asked directly, "Boss La, is this thrust enough now?"

"Almost." La Peikang said with a heavy tone, "I went to another meeting this morning. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last one."

"Haha, then I'll just wait for good news."

At this moment, Chen Fei felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining.

After working so hard for so long and withstanding so much pressure, we are finally seeing results.

"Alas!" La Peikang was not as happy as Fade Chen, but sighed: "It's just a pity for Zhang Guoli and Chen Long, two tiger fathers, but they actually raised two stinky poisonous insects."

Chen Fei's expression was very calm, obviously he had expected this, but he pretended to be a little surprised in his tone: "Could it be that even that Prince Fang..."

"Yeah." La Peikang sighed again: "I won't say anything more. You will know tomorrow. The public security department will issue a notice."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was August 15th.

At the same time, the summer vacation has entered its last half month, which is also the most brutal stage.

On this day alone, nine new movies were released simultaneously!
These include Xiying's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and four imported films: "Frozen", "Pompeii", "King of the Jungle", "Tom Yum Goong 2"...

And a week later, many new movies such as "The Four" and "A Bug's Life" will be released.

At the same time, "Transformers 4" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" are currently in theaters.

Obviously, the second half of this summer season will not be easy. If nothing unexpected happens, at least more than 2/3 of the films will inevitably become cannon fodder and be taken off the shelves early.

If it happened on an ordinary day, this fierce "battle" would definitely attract the attention of most people in the film and television industry.

However, a notice issued by the public security system this morning directly attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry.

Moreover, the content of this notice far exceeds the illegal and disorderly incidents committed by all domestic actors in the first half of this year!

The main reason is that the criminal’s “biological father” is too famous!

It is not only famous in China, but also well-known internationally!

As soon as the notice appeared, it quickly spread throughout the mainland and spread to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other places at the speed of light.

Even Japan, South Korea, Singapore... and even Hollywood, all learned the news at the first time.

The notification was very detailed and included a complete video of the arrest.

Moreover, when the two men were arrested, a total of about 110 grams of stock was seized from their residence!

Even the entire interrogation video was released, and both of them confessed to the crimes of harboring, supplying, and transporting goods.

This announcement came too suddenly!
When the news was exposed, netizens’ long-accumulated anger could no longer be contained and it rose up into the sky like a raging fire!

On the other hand, the entire film and television industry has fallen into deep despair at this time.

Countless people are trembling with fear, fearing that they would be implicated and thus cut off from this channel for making money in the entertainment industry.

As for those film and television agency bosses and film and television association members who had previously strongly opposed the ban on artists with bad records, they had a very ominous premonition in their hearts at this moment!

"It's over, it's completely over!"

Inside Huayi Company, Wang Zhonglei looked pale and full of despair!

If the system of banning artists with bad records is officially implemented, at least half of Huayi will be ruined!
