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

Chapter 740: The power of national sentiment! The document is out! If you don't want to step on the sewing machine, then be honest
Chen Fei found an excuse not to answer Fan Bingbing's call, but he couldn't do the same for Zhou Xun's call.

In the car, after answering Zhou Xun's call, he answered directly without waiting for the other party to ask: "I know what you want to ask, don't worry about it, I have already rejected it."

"what???"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun was stunned.

Although she has not seen the script of "The Great Wall", looking at the history of domestic films, this kind of project is really rare.

$1.5 million investment, produced by China Film Group and Universal Pictures, distributed worldwide, a female-led project, a magical action epic...

No matter which condition it is, it is enough to make the entire Chinese-language film industry, as well as the production industry, film and television entertainment companies, brokerage companies, and actors and artists salivate.

This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for any actor to break into Hollywood!
But what he never expected was that Chen Fei actually refused!

"You...what are you thinking? You rejected such a big project?"

"What are you thinking? Is this a big project? And I have to leave in a few days to shoot Operation Mekong, so where do I find the time to take on a new project?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun was stunned again.

In a trance, she suddenly realized that this kind of project, which seemed very "lucrative" in the whole circle, seemed to be just that to Chen Fei.

"Well, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating!"

Zhou Xun sighed repeatedly and hung up the phone with regret.

Less than ten minutes after the car moved forward, the phone rang again. Chen Fei looked down and saw that it was Huang Xiaoming calling.

"Ugh."

He sighed, answered the phone and briefly explained, then simply posted an announcement on Weibo:

"I'm sorry to tell you that due to schedule reasons, I did not accept the invitation to direct the film The Great Wall."

It was just a simple announcement, but the effect it triggered was not simple.

The news spread quickly, and many people in the industry were immediately enlightened after seeing it!
"From the information revealed by La Beikang, it can be seen that the director candidates must be among the top ones in the country. Since Director Chen Fei has withdrawn, there are not many left."

"Brother Chen Kai dances quite happily, doesn't he? Has he finished the post-production of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"?"

"Holy crap! Look at Wu Yu's status. He has already flown to the capital."

"Why are people from the Hong Kong circle joining in the fun? Get lost right away."

"I wonder if Liu Yifei has agreed to play the leading female role? From the current perspective, she seems to be more suitable than any other female star, right?"

A large number of "experts" suddenly appeared on the Internet and began to conduct various analyses, attracting a large number of people to watch and discuss.

Chen Fei is now debt-free, and after posting on Weibo, no one bothers him anymore.

After returning to the villa, he began to pack up his things, ready to set off to the Golden Triangle for filming.

……

"Tiantian, I have good news for you. Liu Yifei has clearly refused to play the leading female role in The Great Wall. Your chance is still the greatest at the moment."

On the Xingguang Canlan side, after receiving the feedback, Lu Zheng immediately told Jing Tian the good news.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, I understand."

Jing Tian responded, but didn't seem particularly happy.

Although she had another chance to get the leading female role, the problem was that the director she was working with was no longer Chen Fei.

She actually wanted to be as happy as Lu Zheng, but she just couldn't get excited.

The next day, following "The Great Wall", another piece of movie information suddenly came from the Hong Kong circle, which made the mainland film circle a little confused!

After the huge failure of the bad movie "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", Star Overseas Films actually made a sequel.

When the name "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3: The White Bone Demon" appeared in the ears of people in the mainland film industry, many people felt skeptical.

Isn't this another bad movie?

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong, because according to Hong Kong media reports, this new work was not as bad as the previous one.

"Produced by Xinghao Films, Journey to the West: The Monkey King 4.5 Defeats the White Bone Demon has a total investment of million RMB, with Aaron Kwok and Gong Li as the lead actors. It's an extremely luxurious cast!"

"Gong Huang plays the villain White Bone Demon for the first time, and will show her extraordinary beauty and temptation."

"Mainland actors Feng Shaofeng and Xiao Shenyang have both announced that they will join Journey to the West: The Monkey King Defeats the White Bone Demon, playing the roles of Tang Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie, adding comedy to the film."

The production company has issued a lot of press releases, but unfortunately, this movie was born at the wrong time.

Faced with the attention and topic volume of "The Great Wall", it was badly abused. No matter how hard the producers tried, they could not push the news of the new project to the top of the hot search list.

The main reason is that the two words "Great Wall" represent a very special meaning, which cannot be compared with other big-budget movies.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, once it is added with "national sentiment", the effect will be different.

However, even though "The Great Wall" is extremely popular, there are still many people who have joined the discussion of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King Defeats the White Bone Demon".

What the producers never expected was that although the project was promoting people like Aaron Kwok and Gong Li, the person mentioned the most was the unlucky Zhen Zixuan.

Back then, Zhen Kung Fu vowed to delve deeper into the "Journey to the West theme".

But now, as soon as the second part came out, he was kicked out by the producer.

"Do your own fault, don't live."

Chen Fei curled his lips and completely disdained the press releases on the Internet that were still praising Zhen Zixuan.

The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" project sounds like a good one, but it would be strange if it could succeed!
~

"Director Kang? How are your preparations going...Okay, I'll be there on time in ten days, and we'll meet up at the filming location...You don't have to worry about the actors. After the opening ceremony and the scenes in the capital are over, I'll charter a plane with them and fly over..."

On the morning of a new day, after talking to Kang Honglei on the phone, Chen Fei contacted Su Guohai and made a series of plans and arrangements for "Operation Mekong".

Originally, he was planning to start shooting directly, which would save him a lot of procedural trouble.

Investors such as China Film, Light Media, and Wanda don’t care about this. As long as everything goes according to his ideas,

However, the Golden Shield Film and Television Investment Company, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Public Security, strongly requested the crew to hold a press conference and stated that this was the idea of ​​the leaders.

Chen Fei couldn't find any reason to refuse.

The department has given so many "green lights" and "conveniences" and cooperated in every way throughout the process. It would be a bit too much if they still don't agree to such a small request.

Moreover, according to the person in charge of Golden Shield, there is a high probability that senior leaders will attend and even give speeches at that time.

He gladly accepted this.

The harder the platformers are, the smoother the film will flow.

Anyone who dares to block him in the procedure will be an enemy of the country and the people, and will scare the old reviewers to death.

"Jingle Bell!"

A quick phone call suddenly rang, interrupting Chen Fei's fantasy.

Looking at La Beikang's name on the caller ID, Fade Chen frowned slightly.

What's going on? Is this person not ready to give up? Is this forcing him to give a "stern refusal"?
With doubt in his heart, Fade Chen pressed the answer button.

The next second, La Peikang's voice came from the receiver: "As you wished, the above document... has come out."

"Um?!"

Chen Fei's heart was shocked. He opened his laptop and searched directly for the official Weibo account of the General Administration.

At this time, there were many people who made the same move as him. All the industry insiders in the entire mainland, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, paid close attention to it at the first moment.

Looking around, the bright red letterhead concisely encompasses all the directly affiliated management departments of the domestic television and broadcasting systems at all levels from top to bottom, as well as movie channels, upstream and downstream of the film and television production industry, and major state-owned enterprises and institutions such as China Film Group Corporation and Shanghai Film Group Corporation.

Seeing this scene, all practitioners in related industries felt their scalps tingling, as if a butcher's knife was suddenly placed on their heads!

"Notice on Strengthening the Management of Entertainment Culture Production and Dissemination"

When this year's No. 100 red-headed document appeared, all media outlets were in action. As for platforms such as Weibo and Tieba, there was an uproar! "Hot news, the "Banned Order for Bad Artists" has been issued, and the film and television entertainment industry will be strictly restricted from now on!"

"According to the document, public figures involved in drug-related and prostitution-related behaviors will be explicitly named and banned, but cheating, which violates moral principles, is not included."

"It is learned that all film, TV series, web series, micro-films, TV programs, variety shows and other cultural works produced by artists with bad records will be banned from broadcasting without deletion or remake and without review. All works that have been screened or broadcast will be removed from the shelves and can be put back on the shelves after modification!"

"I hope this slash can restore order to the entertainment industry."

"Once the ban is issued, the entertainment industry will surely usher in a bright future!"

For the entire day, the heated discussions never stopped.

Many media outlets have also conducted in-depth analysis of this document, laying it out nakedly in front of everyone in the domestic entertainment industry.

At this moment, those who still held on to hope finally gave up completely.

Even though many people are very reluctant and unwilling to accept this fact, the document has been issued and there is no choice but to comply!

On the other hand, netizens said all kinds of things.

"Support! Strong support! The ban is a good idea. It should show these people that they will be beaten if they make a mistake. Don't even think about running away!"

"Hahaha, it's great to hear that. My movie 'See You Tomorrow' is fine, but Guo Jingming is going to be in trouble. 'Tiny Times 4' is finished, and the other three movies are also finished."

"Since we have banned them, we should ban them all at once. We will never allow them to have the possibility of making a comeback."

"Brother, we will wait for you. We will wait for you forever!"

"It's all that damn Chen Fei's fault. My brother is suffering from this disaster. I curse that every movie you make from now on will lose money and your company will go bankrupt..."

~

Chen Fei simply ignored those crazy people on the Internet.

As soon as he read the contents of the document, he contacted Youku and asked Gu Yongqiang to provide timely feedback.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. We are the first company to respond to the call. We conducted a self-inspection as soon as the document was issued."

Although the restrictions on online broadcasting channels are not particularly strict, in order to avoid trouble or even being caught, Gu Yongqiang still cut the Gordian knot.

Previously, the company had already selected the list.

But now, it’s just a one-size-fits-all approach.

"Okay." Fade Chen nodded, very satisfied with Gu Yongqiang's response.

As a leader among broadcasting platforms, Youku must set a good example. Only by responding to calls and following public opinion can it survive longer and go further.

There is no need to elaborate on how powerful this document is.

Anyway, when Chen Fei arrived at the company, he heard that many movies had been withdrawn from theaters.

There are only two possible endings left for these movies.

Either it's completely dead, or it's re-edited and then sought to be put online.

Movies that only use bad artists as supporting roles are okay, but movies that use bad artists as protagonists are terrible!
For example: Edko Films.

On the afternoon of the day the document was issued, Enlightenment Pictures released an announcement to the public, saying that it would cancel the large-scale media meeting for "Monster Hunt" originally scheduled to be held in Shanghai on October 10.

Other movies can be edited casually and continue to be released in theaters to make money, but "Monster Hunt" is in too deep!
After all, Ke Zhendong is the leading male actor in this movie. If all his scenes were cut, how much money would the film make?

As expected, following the cancellation of the media meeting, Enlightenment Pictures immediately announced that "Monster Hunt" would be withdrawn and re-shot, seeking an opportunity to be released again.

This also means that the pressure during the upcoming Spring Festival period will be much smaller.

It's a pity for Wanda. Ye Ning had just signed a distribution agreement with Enlight Pictures not long ago. Now this incident suddenly happened and it will definitely be affected.

……

Chen Fei seemed to suddenly understand why Golden Shield wanted to hold a press conference for "Operation Mekong", and chose the CPPCC Auditorium as the venue.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be related to that red-headed document.

On the morning of the 26th, within the specified time, Chen Fei appeared in the CPPCC auditorium.

There was still half an hour before the press conference was scheduled to start, but the venue was already bustling with people. Representatives from major film and television companies had all arrived, laughing and talking, and the atmosphere seemed quite lively.

Although many people's interests were damaged because of that document, no one dared to complain.

Outside the venue, although there were many curious media and enthusiastic fans, they were strictly restricted from entering.

Only a few carefully selected authoritative media and a handful of well-known online platforms were allowed to enter and record this grand event.

As soon as Fade Chen walked to La Peikang's side, he heard Wang Changtian standing next to him sigh: "Today's security level is probably the highest I've ever seen."

The "security" he mentioned naturally refers to those people from the public security system who are dressed in uniform, stand tall, and patrol various places in the venue.

Their presence undoubtedly added a sense of solemnity and seriousness to the event.

La Peikang echoed, "Of course. I heard that a higher-level leader is coming. For safety reasons, this standard is normal."

Hearing the voice, Fade Chen raised his eyes and looked around.

All the main creators of "Operation Mekong" have arrived at the scene and are now gathered together, waiting for the upcoming launch conference to officially begin.

When Liu Shishi saw him, she seemed to want to come over and say hello, but was stopped by Chen Fei's eyes.

Today's occasion is not very suitable for socializing.

After waiting for half an hour, the venue suddenly became quiet.

Following everyone's gaze, Chen Fei looked towards the entrance of the auditorium, and saw a serious-looking deputy ministerial leader walking in first, followed by a group of people in uniform.

La Beikang was the first to go forward, and Fade Chen followed behind him and walked towards that direction.

The two sides greeted each other and then officially started the launch conference.

Chen Fei took a group of main creative members to the stage, as if reporting on their work, facing dozens of leaders in uniforms and cameras from major official media.

"Hello everyone, I'm Sa Beining, and I'm also the host of today's press conference for the movie Operation Mekong..."

As a host of a legal program, Sa Beining's professional level and emotional intelligence are naturally unquestionable, and he handled the entire hosting process very well.

Chen Fei once doubted whether Zhang Ziyi was crazy. Faced with such a high-quality potential stock, she actually gave up on him after using him!
Unfortunately, he still couldn't get a clear answer.

Chen Fei has also filmed mainstream movies before, and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is the best example.

However, in comparison, he feels that "Operation Mekong" seems to be more inclined to the term "main theme".

All the main creative members, including the director, spoke no more than ten sentences from beginning to end!

In most cases, it was the leaders and department heads who did the speaking, constantly stating the harm of drugs and the tragedy that happened that year.

After more than an hour, the launch conference finally ended successfully.

Normally, the next step would be eating, drinking and socializing with each other, but when the guests were led by the staff to the cafeteria behind the CPPCC auditorium, everyone was dumbfounded!

In a place like this, who would dare to walk around, make noise and socialize?

Thus, an extremely quiet launch conference banquet session took place.

At the same time, news about the launch conference of the movie "Operation Mekong" also appeared successfully on major news websites.

"On the morning of September 9, the film Operation Mekong held a press conference at the CPPCC auditorium. Many leaders attended and delivered important speeches."

"Operation Mekong, jointly produced by Feiyue Films, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Golden Shield, Wanda, and Guangguang, directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbin, Chen Baoguo, Liu Shishi and others, will officially start shooting in Beijing tomorrow morning..."

"It is reported that the filming location will go deep into the Golden Triangle to restore the real scene and deeply show the crisis and danger of drug control!"

Looking around, the media coverage was very serious, and no entertainment reporter or paparazzi dared to "joke" about this movie.

At this juncture, they didn't want to go in and operate the sewing machines.
