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

Chapter 727: The Imperial Sword is in hand! Can Huayi also have a high-grossing movie?
The three-hour meeting officially ended at noon.

Tong Gang did not stay on the podium for too long, but quickly left the venue with several other people.

The time for the subsequent documents to be issued is not far away, and the details are very complicated, so they have to go back and discuss them in advance.

As the leader left, there was a sudden loud noise in the meeting hall. Some people began to leave, while others found allies and began to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Fei's gaze fell on Zhang Guoli and Chen Long who were not far away.

There were a lot of people around the two of them at this time, and they all seemed to be talking about something with concern. Wang Zhonglei was even patting his chest, as if he was promising something to the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Fade Chen knew that these two would never give up.

If nothing unexpected happens, the sons of these two people should stay in prison for about half a year. Even if they cannot appear on the big screen after they come out, they will definitely have no problem working behind the scenes.

The entertainment industry is a place that values ​​personal connections and capital, and relying on the size of these two, it should not be a problem for them to provide their son with a good life.

Fade Chen shook his head, picked up the briefcase containing the script, and prepared to go to Tong Gang's office.

If this script is sent directly to the Film Bureau, it will most likely be blocked. After all, he has offended a lot of old guys during this period.

But if you ask Tong Gang to submit it for review, no one will dare to block it and may even give it the green light!

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, several presidents of the Directors Guild, Actors Guild, and Screenwriters Guild suddenly walked over to him.

"Director Chen." Li Shaohong was the first to ask, "You are the one who uttered the term 'bad artist'. We know that those involved in pornography, gambling and drugs are considered bad artists, but those public figures who cheated on their spouses should not be considered bad artists, right?"

As soon as this question was asked, many directors and actors around looked over with a bit of nervousness and awkwardness on their faces.

A group of association members were originally very disdainful of Chen Fei, thinking that his proposal of "total ban" was simply impossible to implement.

But what he never expected was that he actually hit the jackpot!

And now the most crucial thing is that Tong Gang also specifically asked him to participate in the definition of the code of conduct for bad artists, which undoubtedly gave Chen Fei a "golden sword".

No one knows how he will define this code of conduct.

If it were just "pornography, gambling and drugs", then people could still barely accept it.

But if "extramarital affairs" and "promiscuous relationships" are also counted as such, then 60% of the stars and actors in the entire entertainment industry will have to be banned completely.

You know, this is the entertainment industry!
The most common thing in this place is all kinds of "relationships between men and women". They are as messy as they can be. There is nothing they can't do, only what you can't imagine.

It is currently known that several famous directors and screenwriters are "examples" of "promiscuous relationships between men and women".

Only Chen Fei is relatively clean. So far, he has never had any casual relationships with any man or woman in China, and the only scandal he has had is with Liu Yifei.

As for Hollywood, Japan, and South Korea, domestic rules have no effect on them.

Listening to Li Shaohong's question, Fade Chen shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Director Li, I'm not very clear about this. It depends on what the above means."

After saying that, before anyone could continue asking questions, Fade Chen had already squeezed out of the crowd and walked straight out.

Many people behind him were looking at him, unable to hide their anger!

They firmly believed that without Chen Fei as the instigator, they would be able to stop the General Administration's "total ban" no matter how excessive their actions were.

But with his support, the General Administration is extremely confident and will not listen to other people's opinions at all.

"What the hell, he's the only one who pretends to be noble, right? He's so young, but he doesn't know how to adapt. He's bound to fall flat on his face in the future!"

"Humph! You are such a selfish person, you don't even consider the entire film and television industry at all."

"You have no organization, no discipline, and you have abandoned the overall situation. You are still the honorary president of the Jin Film Academy? I want to see what kind of future development the students who graduated from your academy will have."

"From now on, I will never vote for any movie produced by Feiyue Films in any mainland film awards!"

"We can unite and boycott him secretly, not letting his movies win awards, not accepting auditions from actors from his company..."

"That's great! Give him a warning! Let him think about who has the final say in the entertainment industry!"

……

I have to say, the taste of this leader’s canteen is different from that of ordinary canteens.

After having lunch with Tong Gang at the headquarters, Chen Fei secretly decided to replace all the chefs in the company cafeteria when he returned.

He didn't expect to follow the standards of the General Administration's canteen, but it should be similar, right?

"So what you mean is that you wrote a movie script about drug busting and you want me to take the lead and organize this bureau?"

"Correct."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, stood up from the sofa, and handed the script that he had already prepared to Tong Gang.

“Operation Mekong?”

Looking at the name on the cover of the script, Tong Gang's expression suddenly became serious.

Just as he opened the script to check the content, Chen Fei explained: "The script is adapted from the Mekong River case..."

The more Tong Gang read, the more touched he felt.

At the very end, he slammed the script shut, his eyes sparkling, and said, "We can work with the Ministry of Public Security to make this movie. I will tentatively define it as a modern mainstream movie."

"That's right." Fade Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Although this script is very different from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", their roots are the same."

"You wait a moment."

Tong Gang motioned for him to sit down first, then took out his cell phone and directly dialed a phone number.

After a while, the office door was pushed open. Chen Fei turned around in confusion and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt and with a dignified demeanor walking in.

Tong Gang first introduced the man's identity to Chen Fei, then handed the script to him and briefly told him the story.

When the middle-aged man heard the words "October 10 Mekong River Case", his eyes suddenly lit up.

After more than ten minutes, he turned to look at Chen Fei and saluted him with a "click"!

Before Fade Chen could react, the other party spoke again: "We have always wanted to bring the Mekong River case to the big screen, but we have not had the right opportunity. I didn't expect you to pay attention to this incident."

Chen Fei said seriously, "When I was writing the script for Sicario, I noticed the cruelty and intensity of the Golden Triangle.

It was at that time that I noticed the Mekong River case. After learning about the relevant information, I had an idea in my mind, that is, I must bring this story to the big screen to let the outside world see how much effort the anti-drug heroes have made for the peace and happiness of our society..."

...

The three of them talked for an hour and finally reached an agreement.

The public security department will cooperate with the production of the film throughout the process, as well as some subsequent publicity and promotion activities.

This also means that "Operation Mekong" has successfully become a modern mainstream movie!

"I'll arrange for someone to take the script for review. When are you going to start filming?"

Fade Chen thought for a moment and said, "Probably in October."

"More than a month?" Tong Gang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Such a short time, from project preparation to casting, and field investigation, is it enough?"

"That's enough." Chen Fei explained simply, "The crew of our company's film Sicario is currently filming in the Golden Triangle. When that film is finished, all the logistics personnel will be transferred to the crew of Operation Mekong and will be able to take over smoothly."

"If that's the case, then that's plenty of time."

Tong Gang suddenly sighed: "Looking at all the film and television companies in the whole mainland, only yours is developed according to the model of Hollywood film companies. From upstream to downstream, it has everything."

You know, at present, most big-budget films are losing money.

Only Feiyue Films has never suffered major losses, and its annual performance even far exceeds that of listed companies such as Huayi and Bona.

The bureau has held several conferences in an attempt to replicate this success.

However, they just don't understand it.

Even if Chen Fei taught me step by step, other film and television companies would not be able to do it. "Haha, Director Tong, you are too kind. I just kept my original intention in mind and never gave up studying. This is the result."

When he heard the word "original intention", the smile on Tong Gang's face suddenly faded a lot.

He suddenly thought of Huayi. It seemed that the two brothers of the Wang family had almost forgotten their original intention.

Faced with the expectations and respect of the bureau, they all turned a blind eye and almost lost the core of "film and television".

Many leaders above are already very dissatisfied, and it will probably not be long before they start a thorough investigation!

How can it be possible in this world to enjoy generous treatment but not do anything?
……

After leaving the General Administration, Chen Fei felt relieved.

On the way back, he casually opened Weibo and checked today's news.

Influenced by today's conference, the news on the Internet is now "brilliant" and dazzling.

"On the morning of the 19th, the General Administration convened another conference for the film and entertainment industry, angrily criticizing all the artists involved in the case. It has been confirmed that regulations will be issued to define and deal with bad artists."

"The decision will be formally finalized, and artists and public figures involved in pornography, gambling, drugs and other types of activities will become the focus of attention."

"Director Chen Fei will participate in the definition of bad artists. Let us look forward to the final result and restore order to this society!"

In the comment section below, many netizens seemed to have won and expressed their opinions:

"The entertainment industry should not be a place for bad artists to stay..."

"Great! Haha! That's great! I have to punish him severely."

"I've never seen anything like this before. It actually worked!? I thought this was just another case of a lot of noise but little action."

"The bad behavior of these artists not only damaged their own image, but also hurt the feelings of their fans and the public. In my opinion, banning them is a kind of comfort to the victims and a response to public expectations."

"I hope this can really be implemented. I will report everyone I see in the future!"

Not long after, a piece of news suddenly hit the headlines again:
"The popular actor Ke Zhendong, who has starred in many works such as "Those Years We Chased the Girl Together" and "Tiny Times", has been detained for a week and was officially released today. He will then return to Taiwan Province to accept a second summons and trial..."

After seeing this news, Fade Chen clicked directly into the comment section without any hesitation.

As expected, those crazy fans and die-hard fans once again showed up.

"This is slander! My brother would never do such a thing. Someone must be accusing him of something and trying to maliciously ban him. They don't want my brother to become famous!"

"Sisters, listen to me. Even if my brother is really banned in the end, we must not give up on him!"

"I will definitely wait for my brother to make a comeback. I believe he will make a successful comeback. I am willing to wait for him forever!"

"Damn Chen Fei, it's all his fault. If it weren't for him, my brother wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Why don't we go rob..."

"Tsk tsk?" Looking at these comments, a sentence suddenly popped up in Chen Fei's mind: "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die!"

Still thinking about jailbreaking?
Do you really think this is an ancient prison cell from an online novel? Can you easily get the prisoner out?
After Chen Fei returned to the company, met Su Guohai, and arranged the relevant preparatory plans for "Operation Mekong", the two inevitably talked about "Monster Hunt".

"Fortunately, we did not agree to participate in the investment at that time, otherwise we would have lost a lot of money! This time, Edko Films has suffered a big setback."

Su Guohai was still somewhat frightened.

If things go as expected, Jiang Zhiqiang would probably be crying now.

"Monster Hunt" has been completed and post-production has begun, but now the lead actor Ke Zhendong has been reported for drug use!

The investment in the film was already insufficient, and now something like this has happened, which is simply adding insult to injury!

"You still underestimate Jiang Zhiqiang."

Chen Fei shook his head slightly, denying Su Guohai's speculation.

Perhaps for a formal film and television company like Feiyue Film and Television, changing the leading actor after the film is finished will increase the production costs out of thin air, thus causing the pressure to recover the investment to soar.

The best example is "Ip Man 3".

When Chen Fei decided to replace Zhen Zixuan with Zhao Wenchao, the production cost of "Ip Man 3" skyrocketed by tens of millions!

If it hadn't performed very well at the subsequent box office, I'm afraid this movie would have lost money.

But for Jiang Zhiqiang, there are so many means he can use!
The registered place of Emperor Entertainment Group is in Hong Kong. The relevant departments in the mainland cannot monitor it even if they want to.

……

At this time, inside the crew of "Monster Hunt".

Looking at the news online, Jiang Zhiqiang knew very well that Ke Zhendong would definitely not be able to escape this time.

Don't say he has no background. Even if he does have a background, he can forget about making a comeback this time.

The prince was already in trouble, and even Chen Long was powerless to save the situation, let alone him, Ke Zhendong, a small-time celebrity with no strength, no background, and no status.

And even if the authorities do not pursue the matter and allow him to make a comeback and continue to make money, the "Monster Hunt" crew will not dare to use him again.

The leading actor of a movie turns out to be a "bad artist". In this case, how should the subsequent promotion and marketing be carried out?
Moreover, both Pan Asia Cinemas and Wanda Cinemas have made it clear that artists with bad records will not be allowed to appear on the big screen. Under such circumstances, the original version of "Monster Hunt" was undoubtedly sentenced to death.

Therefore, the male lead must be changed, and the name "Ke Zhendong" must not appear in the movie from beginning to end!
He initially thought about whether he could directly use technical means to change Ke Zhendong's image, but after consulting professionals, he had to give up this idea.

"Boom boom boom!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Jiang Zhiqiang's thoughts.

"Enter."

As his response sounded, the secretary walked in from outside with a document.

"Boss Jiang, the budget has come out."

"Let me see."

Jiang Zhiqiang reached out to take the document, and the more he looked back, the uglier his expression became.

Whether it is a live-action or CG special effects shot, the cost of reshooting is very high.

Especially Yongning Village and Dengxian Tower, all of them need to be rebuilt.

As for special effects shots, there are more than 600 special effects shots in the movie that need to be replaced.

In other words, if the entire movie is reshot, the cost will be as high as 7000 million RMB!

Looking at this number, Jiang Zhiqiang felt a toothache!
7000 million! If we spend according to this amount, it would be enough to shoot another movie.

"You go out first."

Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hand and sent the secretary out first.

After sitting alone in the office and thinking for nearly half an hour, he finally called Wang Zhonglei, the current general manager of Huayi:
"Mr. Wang, let's follow your previous suggestion. The distribution of the movie "Monster Hunt" will be handed over to your company. But there is one thing we need to pay attention to. The flow of funds must be kept low-key. I don't want to be targeted by the relevant departments."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhonglei laughed and said, "Don't worry, Director Jiang. Huayi is professional in this area. After all, we are a listed company, so it should be easier for us to operate than your company."

"Well, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Haha, OK, happy cooperation!"

Wang Zhonglei smiled very happily. Finally, Huayi was about to release a "high-grossing" movie.

A fantasy movie like "Monster Hunt" that involves a lot of special effects is really suitable for "boosting" the box office.
