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

Chapter 728: New project? Declaring war on the entire entertainment industry?!

"Following "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", Feiyue Film and Television Animation Department has achieved another success. After a month of release, "Big Fish and Begonia" was successfully released, with a total box office of 9.35 million yuan."

"On its 53rd day of release, Transformers 4 has exhausted its potential, with total box office revenue reported at 24.89 billion RMB."

"Guardians of the Galaxy has been released for 20 days and the box office has exceeded 6 million RMB!"

"After grossing 1.6 million yuan in the first three days of its release, Frozen has grossed 5 million yuan in five days."

"The film "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was unfortunately withdrawn from the screen, with the total box office revenue only reaching 5352 million RMB."

...

A new day has arrived, and it is another exciting day in the film and television industry.

There are only 10 days left until the end of the summer vacation, and many movies have begun more intense competition and collision.

The end result is that those newly released domestic films were pulled from theaters due to their poor quality, box office and reputation.

Guangguang held a lively premiere ceremony for "The Four: The Finale".

"No matter whether the movie does well or bad at the box office, it's a perfect ending anyway."

At the premiere, Wang Changtian spoke with emotion.

The "Four" series can be regarded as the foundation of Guangguang's real foothold in the film and television industry. Therefore, it naturally has extraordinary significance for Wang Changtian.

“I wish it a big box office success.”

As Fade Chen spoke, he fixed his eyes on Yang Mi in the meeting room.

Influenced by Ke Zhendong, all the protagonists of the entire "Tiny Times" film series have recently been subjected to a very severe wave of online violence.

Yang Mi was one of the ones who reacted quickly. She clarified the matter as soon as public opinion broke out and even took the initiative to get her hair tested to prove her innocence.

Unfortunately, the "Tiny Times" series may not be able to be preserved.

In particular, "Tiny Times 4", which is waiting to be released, has become the target of many netizens.

At today's premiere of "The Four", it was obvious that Yang Mi was in very bad condition. It seemed that she must have been under a lot of pressure recently.

But Zeng Jia didn't seem to care much about these things. She still dragged Yang Mi around for social events, not giving her any time to rest.

……

After leaving the premiere ceremony of "The Four", Fade Chen went straight to the company.

Han Sanping has been almost oblivious to what's happening outside lately. He just focuses on the post-production of "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" and doesn't care about any bad artists at all.

Anyway, all the actors in this movie of his are veteran artists who know the film well, so there is no possibility of any scandal happening.

Therefore, he pays no attention to what's happening outside.

Only when there are dubbing problems in some post-production clips will he contact the actors to re-dub and take the opportunity to take a break.

When Chen Fei arrived at the post-production department, he saw Han Sanping staring at the computer screen with wide eyes.

"Director Han? What are you looking at? So absorbed in it?"

Han Sanping looked up at him and waved at him: "Come and take a look at this."

"Hmm?" Fade Chen blinked in confusion and moved closer with a curious look on his face.

The next second, his brows suddenly frowned.

On the homepage of Weibo, there appeared a "Commitment Letter on Drug Prevention in the Entertainment Industry" signed and issued by 42 performance teams, private entertainment companies, and brokerage companies, led by the National Theatre of China.

These 42 groups officially and publicly stated that from now on they will no longer recruit or organize drug-related artists to participate in any performing arts activities.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, and it does not disappoint the expectations and hopes of netizens in recent times.

However, along with this letter of commitment, there was also an interview with the Secretary-General of the Performing Arts Association.

In the interview, this hypocritical and sanctimonious Secretary-General said:
"Our letter of commitment is actually fundamentally different from the 'ban order' issued by Feiyue Films, Guangguang, and Wanda, because our letter of commitment is not permanent.

From the beginning to the end, we have advocated giving bad artists a chance to reform. If they show obvious repentance within a few years and the higher authorities allow it, they can return to the big screen."

When this interview was exposed, it clearly meant that it didn't matter whether that shitty letter of commitment existed or not.

For a time, there was another uproar on the Internet.

Especially under the "letter of commitment" that was published, a large number of people appeared and cursed mercilessly, angrily accusing the 42 teams of farting loudly and smellily early in the morning.

"Haha, this is really interesting. I don't know if there's shit in their heads. They just keep talking nonsense."

Chen Fei retracted his gaze and started to retort without mercy, causing Han Sanping's eyes to twitch as she listened to him.

"You are very brave. At this critical moment, you actually stepped forward to face the entire entertainment industry. This courage is not something that ordinary people can match."

Fade Chen curled his lips and said, "What are you afraid of? I just don't like those old guys, so I just want to cause trouble for them. What can they do to me?"

"Aren't you afraid that those people will make things difficult for you?"

"Hahaha!" Chen Fei laughed immediately. "It's just the same three axes that keep coming back and forth. They block the script, block the review, and refuse to give the award. What else can they do?"

Han Sanping tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Speaking of this, I'm still quite curious. Do the contracted directors and actors in your company have any objections?"

"Any comments?"

"No awards!" Han Sanping said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, since you withdrew from the major actors and directors associations, the movies produced by your company seem to have never won any domestic awards, right?"

"Yes."

Fade Chen nodded. Instead of showing any dissatisfaction, his face showed a bit of mockery.

Looking at this familiar expression, Han Sanping's heart moved.

He knew very well that when Fade Chen showed this expression, it meant that this guy was going to cause trouble again!
As expected, the next second, Chen Fei said, "I plan to rely on the Shanxi Film Academy to organize an awards ceremony, dividing it into two categories: art films and commercial films, and making it a combination similar to the Oscars and Saturn Awards.

At that time, I will directly invite the real big directors and screenwriters of art films and commercial films in the industry, as well as internationally renowned expert teams, to select the awards.

By that time, I won’t even look at the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, or Hong Kong Film Awards…”

In the editing room, listening to the "grand plan" planned by Chen Fei, Han Sanping was a little confused at first, but soon his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief!

He could tell that this plan was not something that could be thought of overnight and it was obviously the result of a long period of planning.

If anyone else had said these words, he would have definitely turned around and left without even the slightest interest in listening.

But it was Chen Fei who said this!

With his energy, connections and resources, it is entirely possible for him to do this.

Han Sanping could no longer imagine how big a sensation this news would cause in the entire entertainment industry when it was announced!
……

The next day, the headlines about the commitment letter signed by 42 companies were successfully suppressed by news from all sides.

Of course, there are also "human" factors involved.

"The film "The Four: The Finale", produced by Guangguang, directed by Chen Jiashang, and starring Deng Chao and Zhao Liying, successfully held its premiere ceremony in the capital yesterday; Guangguang Chairman Wang Changtian gave a speech saying: This time, we have to give an explanation to all martial arts fans."

"The August summer vacation is about to end, and many movies in September have started their final sprint. The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Now You See Me 2" is highly anticipated by audiences across the Internet."

"According to Youku, the total online playback volume of "The Journey of Flower" from July to August has reached 7 billion times, and the playback volume of a single episode has successfully exceeded 8 million times, far exceeding "Swords of Legends" released at the same time."

"The TV series Red Sorghum, produced by Feiyue Films and starring Zhou Xun, Zhu Yawen and others, has officially started promotion and will be the successor to The Journey of Flower."

"Dongyang Huaer Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. announced that it will cooperate with director Zheng Xiaolong and actors Sun Li, Huang Xuan and others to launch the large-scale ancient costume legendary masterpiece "The Legend of Miyue."

"Sun Li's comeback after giving birth will see her officially promoted from "Empress Dowager" to the first "Empress Dowager" in history. Let us look forward to her wonderful performance."

Looking at the news that kept pouring out on the Internet, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.

These people really went to great lengths to suppress the popularity of their works, even going so far as to buy copyrights for other companies' works!

“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.” This is absolutely true. These guys are also afraid that if public opinion ferments, these “fence-sitters” may be made into examples and punished.

……

Time flies and it’s already the 22th.

On this day, "The Four 3" produced by Guangxian was officially launched!
At the same time, "Temporary Cohabitation", starring Yang Ying, also successfully hit theaters.

However, 90% of the people in the entire film and television industry focused their attention on a notice issued by the Film Bureau!

"The script "Operation Mekong" submitted by Feiyue Films has officially passed the review!"

Along with the disclosure of this notice, there was also a not particularly detailed group communication list.

Movie title: Operation Mekong

Producer: Feiyue Films (tentative).

Producer/Supervisor: Chen Fei.

Director: Chen Fei.

Screenwriter: Chen Fei.

Male lead: Tentative.

Actress: Tentative.

Special thanks to: Ministry of Public Security of China.

Project Introduction: "The script is adapted from "The Mekong River Case", telling the story of how Gao Gang, the captain of the anti-drug team, and Fang Xinwu, an intelligence agent lurking in Thailand, cooperate with each other and lead a combat team to find out the truth about the crew's death and fight against drug criminals..."

Seeing this new news, the entire film and television industry was stunned at first, and then suddenly exploded!

At this critical moment, Feiyue Film and Television suddenly launched such a new project, and it also received recognition and support from the public security department. What this means is self-evident.

"Fuck! Is he really going to declare war on the entire entertainment industry?"

At Huayi, Wang Zhonglei looked at the relevant news on the Internet and couldn't help cursing out loud.

However, Wang Zhongjun on the side fell into silence.

After several minutes, he finally spoke: "Chen Fei now represents the government, the public opinion, and the people's hearts. To be more precise, the entire entertainment industry is against their bread and butter."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhonglei was immediately confused.

"So...what should we do next?"

"Try to contact Feiyue Films and see if you can get some investment shares from them, even if it's only 5%."

Wang Zhonglei was slightly stunned, and a feeling of aggrieved suddenly surged in his heart.

Forcing him to beg Chen Fei humbly, what's the difference between this and killing him?
However, before he could find the right words to refute, Wang Zhongjun warned him again: "I have heard some rumors recently. It seems that someone above us has some opinions about us. Try to keep a low profile in the near future."

Since this matter concerns the company's development, Wang Zhonglei immediately became serious.

He was about to nod, but the next second he suddenly thought of something else.

"The club has received a lot of money. If it piles up there, it might cause problems. It would be best if we can clear it out in the near future."

When mentioning this matter, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but frowned.

At this juncture, they should try to keep a low profile, but the money must be laundered as soon as possible, otherwise, if something goes wrong, the two brothers and even the entire company may be in big trouble!
After pondering for a moment, Wang Zhongjun suggested, "Isn't Edko Films planning to cooperate with us on the project "Monster Hunt"?

In this case, why not just squeeze a few more artists from our company in, nominally give them more pay, and also make some adjustments to the subsequent box office.

Remember, try not to include Huayi’s name in the investment of this film. You can reorganize a shell company, so that you can also make some adjustments in terms of taxation..."

Half an hour later, Wang Zhonglei left the office with a confident step.

Compared to cooperating with Chen Fei, he would rather deal with the money as soon as possible so that he can travel abroad freely.

……

"What the hell? Chen Fei?! Isn't this the project you told me about before?"

As the news about the "Operation Mekong" crew came to light, Wang Changtian called immediately, his words full of excitement.

Because in his opinion, this movie is at least equivalent to 10 "Left Ear"!
What it represents is not just income, but also various influences, resources, and connections, all of which are priceless!
"That's right." Chen Fei responded with a smile, "When we have time, let's go to meet up at China Film Group, as well as Wanda and Shanghai Film Group. President Ye and President Ren will come together at that time."

Wang Changtian's mind moved: "Six investors?"

"Yes, six. The Ministry of Public Security will take the lion's share."

“You’re directing it yourself?”

"Yes, I have to go to the Golden Triangle myself."

Speaking of the word "Golden Triangle", Chen Fei actually had some expectations in his heart. He heard that it was a paradise of "sin" and "luxury", but he didn't know whether the real situation was as the rumors said.

After ending the call with Wang Changtian, Chen Fei received calls from Ye Ning and Ren Zhonglun respectively.

There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in the tone of both of them, and after confirming that they would both get a share of the investment in this film, they immediately became excited.

"I will go to the capital tomorrow, and we will finalize this matter as soon as possible."

Ren Zhonglun was very anxious, as if he was afraid of encountering other accidents.

Although Chen Fei didn't quite understand what he was worried about, he still welcomed him to come to the capital to discuss major plans!
……

The next day, the first day box office figures of "The Four 3" were released.

The result of 3148 million is not particularly outstanding, but it is not too bad either, and can be considered to be at the middle level.

The only regret is that this finale did not receive positive reviews from the majority of movie fans, but instead received a lot of negative reviews.

"The scene is quite spectacular, but the plot is far less logical than the first two parts. I personally think that this ending is not up to standard."

"I don't know why. After watching The Breakup Guru, when I watched this movie again, I always felt like Deng Chao and Yang Mi were going to do something weird in the next second. It was too distracting."

"To sum it up, this is a movie that relies on its cast to hold it together. The 3D effect is quite good, and the big boss's death is quite spectacular, but the plot is abrupt, some scenes switch abruptly, the plot is average, and the actors' performances are average. I'll barely give it a 6."

Looking at these negative reviews and the score of only 6 points, Chen Fei was very clear in his mind.

From then on, martial arts movies are completely ruined!
However, if compared with other movies of the same period, "The Four" is still pretty good.

You know, on the other hand, "Temporary Cohabitation", starring Yang Ying, had a box office of only 1400 million on the first day and a score of only 5.3 points.

Even though the film has talented actors like Zhang Jiahui and the popular new generation actor Ou Hao, it still can't save Yang Ying's "lacking" performance.

In the reviews about the film, the word that appears most frequently is "exaggerated performance"!
At the same time, with the first-day box office figures of many movies such as "The Four" and "Temporary Cohabitation" freshly released, many film and television dramas were officially announced today!

"The TV series "Tornado Eleven", exclusively produced by Tangren and starring Hu Ge, Jiang Shuying, Zeng Li and Chen Yao, has officially been approved. This will be the first TV series in China with football as its theme."

"Hot News: New Clue Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. announced that it will join hands with South Korean director An Sang-hoon, actor Yang Mi, popular young actor Lu Han, Wang Jingchun, Zhu Yawen and others to perform a youth suspense film, which is adapted from the South Korean film "Blind Witness."

"The film "Jianbing Man", a blockbuster film in the "Diaosi Men" series, produced by Sohu and Xinli and Wanda, was officially launched today!"

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Journal: The disaster science fiction blockbuster "Global Storm", produced by Wall Street Films, directed by Roland Emmerich, and written by Chen Fei, has officially been approved!"

"The TV series projects "The Best of Us" and "Together Together" exclusively produced by Feiyue Films started shooting in the capital and Hengdian respectively today."

In just a few hours, three films and one TV series were announced to be launched, and two TV series were also announced to have started filming.

For a time, the circle was once again plunged into heated discussion!

Many people are almost dizzy from being bombarded with these messages and don’t know which one to watch first!
