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

Chapter 738: Authority Dog? What? The Movie King and the Queen Reunite! In the Era of High Pay, Hollywood Familiar People
The auditions for "The Mermaid" ended at 12:1, and the related news appeared at :.

I have to say that the efficiency of this group of media is incredibly high!
"Congratulations: The two-month-long audition for the leading actress of the movie "The Mermaid", jointly produced and invested by China Film Group, Star Shine, Enlight Media, and Feiyue Film, has successfully concluded this morning."

"The new Star Girl is officially born, Zhao Liying, the top actress in the industry! She will join forces with Zhou Xingchi!"

"From Your Name to The Martian, Zhao Liying has risen to the top of the second-tier actresses. The hit TV series The Journey of Flower has pushed her to the level of a first-tier actress. Now with The Mermaid... another top actress is about to make her debut!"

……

For the entire afternoon, the Weibo hot search list was filled with news about Zhao Liying.

"The Journey of Flower" has just aired its finale, and Zhao Liying was already very popular at the time. Now she has become the new "Star Girl", which has undoubtedly set the entire film and television industry on fire!
In the comments section, various voices of support are heard:
"Xiao Gu is amazing. She fought her way out of a crowd of over 100,000 people and successfully became Zhou Xingchi's mermaid. She is so amazing!"

"I support Zhao Liying in her role in The Mermaid. When the movie is released, I will definitely go to the theater to show my support."

"Haha, the people over at Gu Jian Qi Tan are still comparing themselves to each other. Now let me see how you guys can still compare?"

"I knew that the idol I'm a fan of is definitely not an ordinary person. She starred in a hit TV series and took on the leading role in a big-budget movie. It's amazing!"

"The beautiful shadow flies bravely, and the fireflies will always follow you!"

Looking at these news and netizens' comments, many actresses are envious.

Especially those famous actresses who "competed on the same stage" with Zhao Liying, they felt like they were being carried by others.

They were all obviously competing for the "leading female role", but in the end, they became the green leaves setting off the red flowers.

This feeling is so uncomfortable that I can’t even describe it.

The one who was most seriously injured was Yang Ying!

She originally thought that with her boyfriend's connections and resources, she would be able to be successfully elected as the leading actress, but she never expected to lose face at the finals.

That's a live broadcast!

When faced with a test question in which Zhou Xingchi asked her to perform a crying scene, she simply couldn't cry out loud, and was ridiculed by many people.

She had already lost face once on the set when filming "The Founding of a Party".

But now, he actually pooped a huge shit in front of the whole country. It’s so sad.

"I will never go to this kind of audition again. Isn't this just deliberately embarrassing people?"

In the villa, Yang Ying was crying with tears in her eyes.

Huang Xiaoming watched awkwardly from the side, feeling helpless.

He had reminded Yang Ying long ago to know herself and not to embarrass herself.

Now, retribution has come, and she can only deal with it by herself. No one can help her.

……

"Zhao Liying has become a star girl?"

In the crew of "I Am a Witness", Yang Mi felt mixed emotions while watching the news online.

Once upon a time, she was a new generation star in Feiyinghuang Agency, whose popularity and status were second only to Liu Yifei. Zhao Liying couldn't even reach her heels at that time.

But now, the latter has not only become popular with "The Journey of Flower", but has also become a new generation of star girl, with amazing film and television resources!
What about her?

Although she has taken on several movies and always played the leading female role, her reputation has become increasingly worse.

In time, I’m afraid that even the title of one of the Four Little Flowers won’t be able to be maintained.

"Why did it become like this?"

She looked at herself in the makeup mirror, feeling increasingly haggard, and was filled with confusion, but she couldn't find the answer.

……

With the end of the auditions, the casting for "The Mermaid" has officially come to an end.

In the next period of time, Zhao Liying will follow the crew for half a month of training, and then officially join the crew to start filming in October.

After finishing work, Zhou Xingchi hosted a simple meal for everyone.

Inside the box, while waiting for the food to be served, everyone looked at the popularity and discussion about "The Mermaid" on the Internet, and felt a little emotional.

Wang Changtian, who is a media professional, analyzed from a professional perspective: "This audition plan is really too successful. If the current popularity can be maintained, the box office will definitely not be bad after the movie is released."

Zhou Xingchi agreed with his statement and kept smiling:

"The audition of the star girl is one factor. In addition, Zhao Liying's own popularity is also a major factor. The popularity of the hit TV series "The Journey of Flower" has also benefited "The Mermaid", which I didn't expect."

At this time, Zhou Xingchi felt somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, he finally chose Zhao Liying. If he had chosen Lin Yun, the popularity and effect created in the end would definitely not be as high as it is now.

A few big guys were talking, and Zhao Liying was pouring wine obediently on the side, occasionally revealing an innocent smile, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

And because Chen Fei is here, those messy drinking culture will naturally not appear.

From beginning to end, Zhao Liying didn't touch a drop of wine, and no one asked her to toast or anything.

This kind of situation can only occur in Feiyinghuang Agency. If it happens in other companies, I'm afraid they will have to pay a higher price.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Zhao Haicheng, the deputy general manager of China Film Group and one of the producers of The Mermaid, suddenly reminded:

"We need to deal with the PR issues as soon as possible. Zhang Yuqi has a lot of problems right now, and Zhao Liying will definitely have some negative impacts as well."

When these words were spoken, everyone was slightly startled and their expressions became a little more serious.

What the emergence of "Star Girls" means is clear to people in the circle.

Zhao Liying's rise will inevitably affect other female stars, and will therefore inevitably bring some criticism, which all need to be controlled.

But at this moment, Fade Chen suddenly said, "I will ask Weibo to cooperate. If anyone dances too happily, or if any media outlet makes random comments, they will be banned for a few months."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but start to murmur in their hearts.

“This is the authority dog!”

……

After the casting of "The Mermaid" was completed, Chen Fei returned to the company immediately.

Once one big thing is done, it’s time to get busy with another big thing.

"Operation Mekong" is almost ready for production, and some members of the production team have already gone to the filming location in advance to conduct on-site surveys.

As soon as he receives the message from the other side, he will set off immediately to hold the formal opening ceremony.

What surprised him was that just one day later, Huayi also released an announcement following "The Mermaid":

"Hot news, the casting for the film "Old Cannon", exclusively produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Hu, has been completed. The starring lineup is: Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Xu Qing..."

When this announcement was made, the entertainment industry suddenly became lively.

Yesterday, everyone was envious of Zhao Liying's good luck for becoming the new generation of Star Girl.

And today, the object of everyone's envy has become Wu Yifan!
No one expected that this idol trainee who returned from South Korea would be so "favored" and "highly supported" by the Beijing circle.

Less than half a year after returning to China, he first got a lot of high-end endorsements, and then starred in Xu Cairen's "There Is a Place Only We Know".

Unexpectedly, before his last movie was released, he is partnering with Feng Xiaogang to star in "Old Cannon".

Even Li Yifeng, who became famous with "Gu Jian Qi Tan", is ranked lower than him and is only qualified to be his supporting role.

This resource is simply amazing!
……

"How did you read the script?"

It was a new day again. Chen Fei woke up early in the morning and surprisingly saw Miss Liu reading a script in the study room.

Liu Yifei turned around, scratched her head, and said with some disappointment: "It feels very obscure and difficult to understand."

Hearing this, Fade Chen patted her head lovingly and said softly, "Don't worry, take your time. You still have plenty of time to prepare."

Chen Fei plans to submit this movie to the Cannes International Film Festival next year.

According to his plan, after finishing Operation Mekong this year, he will officially start filming the movie after the Oscars next year. Therefore, Liu Yifei has a full 5 months!

During this period, apart from some luxury product endorsement activities, her job was to study the script thoroughly.

"I will definitely work hard!"

Liu Yifei nodded, clenched her fists, and cheered herself up.

Without disturbing the hardworking Miss Liu, Chen Fei turned around and left the study, browsing the news while walking towards the restaurant.

Today, with "Frozen" successfully closing with a box office of 5.5 million, all the movies released in August have come to an end.

Looking back at September, imported films still dominated the market.

However, the following October is still quite lively.

Not only are variety shows like "Running Man" ready to go online, but domestic films such as "Detective Chinatown", "The Golden Age", and "Black and White 2" are also ready to hit the National Day holiday.

Looking around, it seems like a hundred flowers are blooming, and no one knows which movie will win the box office in the end.

In addition, when the film and television works burst out, the punishment of Wang Quanan was also announced.

Detention for half a month, imprisonment for education for half a year...

"Tsk tsk." Chen Fei sighed inexplicably: "An 18-year-old madam? Two 30-year-old women? What kind of operation is this? Are they because of their skinny bodies? Or because of their good skills?"

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and started eating new melons.

Early this morning, actor Xie and queen Wang actually had the "reunion of the century"!
The man has been divorced once and has two children, while the woman has been divorced twice and has two children. Their love histories are confusing enough to write a book about!

In this situation, after going around in circles for a few years, it ended up like this again.

I have to say, this world is truly wonderful, and fate is beyond words!

However, what surprised him was that the woman's ex-husband actually said that he hoped his ex-wife could be happy and that he would take good care of their two children...

Seeing this, Fade Chen was a little confused.

"Is the water in the entertainment industry so turbid? Has it really become a big dye vat? Can't it be cleaned out?"

The situation on the Internet is even more chaotic at the moment. Fans of both sides, their management companies, and all kinds of netizens who like to watch the show have all joined in, making the situation more and more muddy.

For the sake of this actor Xie, Ying Huang has put a lot of effort into it, and even temporarily diverted some public relations resources from "The Man from Macau 2".

When Chen Fei received the apology call from Yang Shoucheng, he felt a little sorry for the old man.

I’m so old, but the little ones are still a worry to me. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Fortunately, the people in Feiyinghuang Agency were all very well behaved, which saved Chen Fei a lot of worry.

"Jingle Bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's mindset of watching the show.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button: "Director Wang? What's up? We just parted yesterday, and you can't wait to catch up with me today?"

"Look at the financial news. Oh! No, entertainment news will work too. It's already been reported."

"Ok?"

Fade Chen frowned, immediately stood up, and found the laptop that was charging.

When he casually opened an entertainment news website, he was shocked to find that in just a few minutes, the entertainment industry had completely changed!
"It is reported that Alibaba officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, with an issue price of US$68, an opening price of US$92.7, and a closing price of US$93.89 on the first day of listing, an increase of 38.07%, with a total market value of up to US$2314 billion."

"Due to the influence of its parent company, the share price of Alibaba Pictures in Hong Kong has skyrocketed!"

"Alibaba, the big brother of the Internet industry, the giant of Fortune.com, the gathering place of billionaires..."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Changtian was still muttering: "With a market value of 2314 billion US dollars, Ma Yun has become the richest person. Alibaba Pictures will rise rapidly this time..."

On the other end of the phone, Fade Chen had only one sentence in his mind:

"The era of high pay has officially arrived!"

……

If Huayi was previously recognized by the industry as the number one listed film and television company, then with the listing of Alibaba, the title of No. 1 naturally fell to Alibaba Pictures.

Perhaps the current market value of Alibaba Pictures is far less than that of Huayi, but who can blame the powerful parent company behind it?

Even if Huayi, Bona, Guangguang, Huanrui, Hairun, and Chengtian are all tied together, they are still not as big as Alibaba's little finger.

As the helmsman of Alibaba, at this moment, Ma Yun has undoubtedly become a real "god" in the eyes of many people in China!
In less than half an hour, Chen Fei saw a lot of things that Ma Yun had said before, as well as some analysis, popping up on the Internet.

Things like big data, fan movies, and IP plans have become the "treasure books" for many film and television companies in the industry.

There is no other reason, it’s because these words were spoken by Ma Yun, the “god” in their minds.

At the same time, with the rise of Alibaba, many people in the domestic entertainment industry have successfully caught the express train. It can be said that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

For example, Zhao Yanzi, who was very close to Ma Yun before, has become the object of envy of countless people in the industry.

"Boss Wang." After taking a quick look at the news online, Fade Chen warned Wang Changtian sincerely in the name of an ally and friend:

"We have to be careful next time. According to this guy's personality, he will definitely not calm down after returning from abroad. After all, he has always been aiming for the title of 'industry leader'.

If his plan goes according to plan, you and I will be among the targets that Alibaba wants to erode.”

Wang Changtian was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "I'll be careful. All these things in my hands are for my retirement, and I absolutely cannot let them take them away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei thought for a moment, then called Su Guohai, Gu Yongqiang, and Zhou Shouzi who was still in France, and reminded them of some things.

Feiyue Films has already built its basic base, and he is not afraid of Alibaba, but the people below are fickle, and Ma is a cunning man who can deceive...

So, you still have to get insurance.

……

No matter how lively the outside world is, the methods used by private enterprises will never be able to affect state-owned enterprises.

In the conference hall of China Film Corporation, La Peikang was warmly welcoming the head of Universal Pictures who had come from Hollywood.

The representatives of both sides held a meeting of extraordinary significance. Although the participants came from different cultural backgrounds, a bridge of communication had already been quietly built.

On the conference table, a film project plan titled "The Great Wall" was lying there quietly. This was the first time it was fully presented to La Beikang and his team.

The project combines multiple elements such as magic, action, and adventure, and is produced by a top international team with an extremely strong production lineup!
La Beikang was flipping through the complete business plan while staring at the PPT on the big screen, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an explorer in the film industry, deeply attracted by the unknown journey he was about to embark on.

As Universal Pictures professionals spoke, his heart was filled with endless enthusiasm for the film and a strong desire for a successful collaboration.

If this kind of project is successful, it would be a huge political achievement, enough for him to be re-elected for several terms!

Half an hour later, the head of Universal Pictures stopped talking and turned to look at La Peikang.

"Mr. La, this project is equally important to Universal Pictures. We have confirmed that the male lead will be played by a top Hollywood actor, and we also hope that you will pay attention to the selection of the female lead and the director..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Otero." La Peikang smiled confidently: "I already have suitable candidates. I will contact them later and invite them to China Film. We will express our sincerity together and try to convince them."

"Oh?" Romulo Otero asked curiously, "Who is Mr. La going to invite? Someone I know or am familiar with?"

La Peikang nodded slowly: "I believe Mr. Otero must know them. I plan to let Chen Fei take on the director's position, and I plan to invite Liu Yifei to play the leading female role."

Hearing these two familiar names, Romulo Otero's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Great! La Dong! You gave me a big surprise!"

If it were Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, not to mention Universal Pictures, even any company in the world would not object to this combination.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they can come up with conditions that can impress Chen Fei.

Romulo Otero was still somewhat confident: "I have worked with Fei before, and I believe he will not reject an old friend of mine."

Hearing this, La Peikang felt relieved.

As long as Chen Fei and Liu Yifei can be brought in, this project will be at least half successful!
