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

Chapter 743 Another killer move, drinking with friends? A big scene! LeTV and Zhang Yimou's "win-win cooperation" plan

With the huge success of Running Man and the surge in the number of topics, this also means that Feiyue Films has another big "killer weapon" after Youku and Pan Asia Cinemas!
And this killer weapon is the target that all artists in the circle are eager to pursue.

Especially as the number of fans of those guest stars skyrocketed, those companies in the circle that have artist management business became extremely jealous.

If you are lucky enough to take part in the recording, wouldn’t it be like riding a rocket and reaching the sky in one step?
"It seems that there is no hope for The Great Wall, and there is no hope for me to be a regular guest on Running Man. Why can't I catch up with any of these popular projects?"

Inside the villa, Yang Ying was complaining.

Huang Xiaoming at the side smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly: "You are not an artist of Feiyue Film and Television, how could they give such a great resource to you?"

"I don't care, I want to be on a variety show, and my performance ability must be better than hers!"

Yang Ying acted coquettishly, holding Huang Xiaoming's arm and shaking it non-stop, with her red lips pouting high.

"Okay, okay, be good. I'll think of a way to get you to appear as a guest on more shows."

Huang Xiaoming hugged his girlfriend, his eyes full of love.

He really likes to be acted like a spoiled brat. Whenever Yang Ying acts like a spoiled brat, he usually can't resist.

On the other hand, at Jiaxing, Zeng Jia couldn't help but sighed as she read the news about "Running Man" online: "Gulinaza is so lucky."

As the only permanent guest, Guli Nazha’s popularity exploded after the first episode!
She had already gained a lot of fans when she played the Queen of Jingjue in "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

In addition, her role as a hair salon girl in "Lost in Thailand" also left a deep impression on the audience.

Now, with the launch of "Running Man", she has completely broken away from the identity of a supporting role in movies and has become a young actress born in the 90s who is being followed and hotly discussed by the entire network. Her popularity has skyrocketed!
The industry has already made predictions.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely have a place when the next Four Little Flowers are selected!
"I discovered a long time ago that if Director Chen wants to promote someone, he can easily promote that person to the top without even having to put in much effort."

Yang Mi also felt a little emotional, after all, she was one of the beneficiaries at the time.

You know, during the years at Feiyue Film and Television, the resources and connections she enjoyed were no less than Guli Nazha.

Even now, she is still enjoying the influence of those resources and connections.

"We can forget about being permanent guests." Zeng Jia said enviously, "When the next season is recorded, it would be great if we could appear as a flying guest."

In fact, she had contacted the producers of "Running Man" a long time ago, and they clearly stated that they agreed to accept guest stars to participate in the recording.

But the prerequisite is that you need to wait in line.

Zeng Jia had signed up for Yang Mi and the company's artists a long time ago, but unfortunately, she never received any feedback from "Running Man".

"Let's not talk about Running Man for now." Yang Mi changed the subject directly: "The movie that Lu Han and I are working on is about to be completed. Have you contacted the new crew for me?"

"Yes." Zeng Jia replied: "LeTV is planning to produce a workplace romance drama called "The Interpreter". The project book and script have been sent to you. You can take a look."

TV drama?
Yang Mi frowned slightly: "No movie project?"

She didn't really want to act in a TV series, and the "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was a lesson for her.

Although it was very popular, it was only used to promote the male lead and did not have much positive impact on her as the female lead.

It’s better to be the heroine of a movie. If the box office is a big hit, both your net worth and status will be improved!
However, Zeng Jia suddenly said, "The reason why I took this project is not only because the heroine's character is very beneficial to you, but also mainly to bring in new people in our company."

After hearing this, Yang Mi didn't say anything more.

After all, training new people is one of his responsibilities.

As long as the company's development can get better and better, it will be beneficial to her, and it is reasonable for her to give up some things appropriately.

"Oh, right." Yang Mi suddenly remembered something: "How is the financing going? Are we still far from going public?"

When this topic was mentioned, Zeng Jia's eyes turned and a new idea suddenly came to his mind.

"The financing process went smoothly, and many investors were very interested in us."

She first gave Yang Mi a hope, and then added: "It's just that many investors want to meet with you in person to talk about the future development of the company, and there are some drinking parties... They also hope that you can attend."

Hearing this, Yang Mi didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement: "It's just a social event, it's all right, just call me when the time comes, I'll bring a few bottles of good wine."

"Okay, then it's settled."

A smile appeared on Zeng Jia's face, and he felt quite happy that his plan had succeeded.

……

Three days have passed in a flash, and the screening rate of "Detective Chinatown 3" is still declining, but the box office data is unusually strong.

After three days of release, the total box office data has exceeded 300 million, which is really enviable.

At the same time, there was news about a new movie that attracted much attention from the industry.

"The big-budget movie "The Mermaid", jointly produced by China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Feiyue Film, Star Shine, and Enlight Media, directed by Zhou Xingchi, and starring Deng Chao, Zhao Liying, Zhang Yuqi and others, officially started filming this morning!"

"At the launch event, Stephen Chow and a group of actors took the stage to talk about the preparation and training process of The Mermaid."

"'Star Man' Deng Chao revealed that since being selected, he has revisited all the movies that Zhou Xingchi has starred in in the past."

"Zhao Liying revealed that the mermaid she plays may be different from what the general audience imagines."

"Actress Zhang Yuqi avoided talking about any topic related to Wang Quanan throughout the whole process. The latter is still in prison and is expected to make an appearance during the New Year."

At the launch event, except for Chen Fei, all the other big leaders of the investing parties were present.

Unfortunately, he was absent because he had to film "Operation Mekong".

Zhou Xingchi didn't really care about this. He just suggested that after the filming of "The Mermaid" was completed, he hoped that all the main creative team could gather together to record an episode of "Running Man".

Chen Fei naturally would not refuse and readily agreed.

At this time, at the filming site of "Operation Mekong", Chen Fei was working intensively with the entire crew on pre-filming preparations.

The voice of the on-site executive director came from the intercom: "Director Chen, the Hongqi extended bulletproof state guest motorcade, escort motorcade, etc. are all ready."

"Okay." Behind the monitor, Fade Chen responded, "Then let's get started!"

A few minutes later, as the sound of "Action" rang in the ears of all the actors on the scene, at the end of the road, a luxurious formation consisting of four Hongqi extended bulletproof state guest cars, eight escort convoys, and twenty-four traffic police motorcycles appeared in the camera.

There were no other vehicles on the entire closed section of road, and it was very empty, successfully demonstrating what "etiquette of a great country" is.

As the filming progressed, the camera showed that the entire formation, with the state guest motorcade as the core, was moving slowly forward.

At the same time, on both sides of the road, many passers-by and media reporters were excitedly taking photos or recording videos with their mobile phones and cameras.

For ordinary passers-by, this is a good thing for bragging and showing off!
But for media reporters, this is a great achievement, and the money they take home will be enough for this month.

Time passed by minute by minute, and as the convoy turned into the Ministry of Public Security, this scene was shot smoothly.

"Crack!"

Chen Fei's voice rang in the ears of all the actors at the right time.

At this point, this shot, which is considered to be very impressive in the entire movie, has been completely filmed.

The on-site executive director immediately ran out and shouted, "Call it a day, move to the next set!"

We still had lunch in the canteen of the Ministry of Public Security. The food variety was very rich, completely suiting everyone's appetite and preferences.

"Director Chen, I'll go get some drinks. What would you like to drink? Egg drop soup? Or a beverage?"

"Just get me a bottle of mineral water."

"Ok."

Liu Shishi stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cafeteria. Chen Fei watched her leave with a complicated look in his eyes.

On the 1st, along with the launch of "Running Man", the TV series "Legend in the Wind" starring Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, the former top male and female stars of Tangren, also aired on Mango TV.

As expected, a TV series that underwent dozens of cuts, major revisions, and re-dubbing still could not escape the evaluation of being a "bad movie".

As soon as "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, its reputation plummeted to the bottom, and it was criticized online!
Cai Yinong’s move is as bad as it can be!
It is no exaggeration to say that this drama can be regarded as the worst drama ever produced by Tangren since its establishment.

The plot was edited into a mess, the scene was full of out-of-place shots, and the picture jumped from time to time. It was as rough as it could be.

What is most unacceptable is that the actors clearly shouted the names of historical figures such as "Huo Qubing", but the dubbing was done using other names.

This operation was truly shocking, and many people even began to doubt whether this was still a film produced by Tangren?
Back then, Zhouyi and Tangren were both top production companies in the field of TV dramas.

But now, the former has been acquired by Feiyue Film and Television, while the latter is going from bad to worse, and even the top brother and sister of the company can't be retained.

So far, in the mainstream evaluation of the industry, Tangren has long fallen to the second-tier ranks.

Even if Cai Yinong continued to market, he could not change this outcome.

It's really hard for Liu Shishi and Hu Ge. They had already left the company, but they were still stabbed in the back.

Moreover, Liu Shishi is currently involved in a lawsuit with Tangren. Both sides are unwilling to give in and the atmosphere is very awkward!
"Here, Mr. Chen, the mineral water you asked for."

"Well, thank you."

Fade Chen nodded, took the mineral water, and didn't chat much with Liu Shishi.

In the afternoon, they also had to shoot scenes of the meeting of representatives of the four countries and the release of a joint statement. After dinner, he had to quickly rest and recharge his energy so that he would have enough energy to cope with the filming.

At the same time, the Capital Airport on the other side welcomed a flight from Hollywood.

Walt Disney Studios sent a team of 15 professionals, attracting a lot of attention from media and reporters.

The Feiyue Film and Television team responsible for picking up the guests at the airport attracted the attention of countless media, reporters, and paparazzi.

"Wow, why are there so many foreigners here? What are they doing here?"

"I know the foreigner who's leading the charge. He's a top producer at Wall Street Films, and Now You See Me is the project he's in charge of."

"The people from Feiyue Film and Television are responsible for the reception? Holy shit! Are they here for that project?"

"You're talking about Geostorm, right? I heard that this movie will be shot in China, and they want to find a Chinese actor to participate."

"No need to think about it, this is another competition within Feiyinghuang Agency. Outside film and television agencies have no chance to get involved."

As Feiyue Pictures and Walton Pictures officially came together, a group of reporters at the airport were chattering and analyzing, and occasionally pressing the shutter of their cameras.

The relevant news soon appeared on the Internet, triggering a wave of heated discussion.

"After Universal Pictures brought the "The Great Wall" project to the mainland, Walt Disney Studios brought the "Global Storm" project to the mainland and successfully completed the connection with Feiyue Films."

"Another Sino-foreign co-production is about to take shape, let's wait and see."

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Reporter: Casting for Geostorm is underway, and Roland Emmerich has been confirmed as the director."

……

The film and television industry has once again been plunged into a state of excitement, with topics about "The Great Wall" and "Global Storm" being mentioned repeatedly, arousing envy.

These two projects are not small!

However, many people are not even qualified to get a share, let alone a small portion.

"Geostorm?"

On the China Film Group side, La Peikang naturally also received the news.

However, because of the previous project "The Great Wall", he was not very interested in this new project jointly organized by Feiyue Films and Walton Pictures.

And the most important thing is that he is currently worried about choosing a director and has no time to take care of anything else.

Ever since Chen Fei refused to direct, countless people have come to China Film Group to recommend themselves!
The most conspicuous among them are undoubtedly Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

As for others such as Wang Jing, Wu Yu, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kexin, none of them were among his alternative targets.

Even Lu Chuan showed up, wanting to make a comeback with the help of this movie, but was directly rejected by him.

Don't you even look at what kind of person you are? You actually want to take on such a big project. You're just like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

"Boss La, Universal Pictures is pushing us again, asking us to confirm the director as soon as possible. They want to start the supporting marketing work."

Listening to the secretary's words, La Beikang frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said helplessly: "Just contact LeTV directly. Apart from Yimou, no one else can take on this kind of project now."

Although Brother Chen Kai has been working very hard recently, it can be seen from the big-budget movies he has shot in the past that this guy has no control over big scenes at all.

If we were to say who in the entire film and television industry has the most talent for controlling big scenes, it would have to be Zhang Yimou!
……

Two days passed, and Chen Fei had successfully completed all the filming work of "Operation Mekong" in the capital, and moved the equipment to Yunnan.

At the same time, there is only one day left before the end of the National Day Golden Week.

Compared to the whole month of October, this is just the beginning, but for the entire film market, the current situation is already very clear.

"Detective Chinatown 6" has been online for a whole week and the box office has successfully exceeded million, leaving the rest far behind!
Several other domestic films, such as "The Golden Age" and "Black & White 2", were pressed to the ground and rubbed hard, unable to turn over at all.

At this point, it is actually a foregone conclusion that "Detective Chinatown 10" will break the billion box office mark. After all, its box office potential has not yet been exhausted.

This also means that Feiyue Film and Television will have another director who will join the 10 billion box office club!
For a time, many film companies in the industry began to feel jealous.

With an investment of 8000 million, it actually earned over 10 billion at the box office. This profit is simply too exaggerated. No one would have dared to imagine it in the past!

But the fact is, it really happened.

At this point, many film and television companies have even begun to miss the days when imported blockbusters were rampant.

There are even voices in the industry saying: "How great would it be if we could kill Feiyue Film's prestige?"

After hearing these words, Fade Chen was completely dismissive.

This kind of people are simply mentally ill and can't stand seeing others do better than they are!
……

At this time, LeTV Pictures.

When receiving the project proposal from China Film, LeTV Pictures CEO Zhang Zhao's face immediately beamed with joy.

He knew that when Chen Fei refused to direct "The Great Wall", the position of director would eventually fall to Zhang Yimou.

Sure enough, he guessed it right after all!
After reading the project book, he called his secretary directly and said, "Make an appointment with Director Zhang Yimou and tell him that I want him to see the new project."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

The secretary responded and quickly left the office.

At this time, Zhang Zhao suddenly bent down and took out a share certificate from the safe below.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he plans to tighten the relationship between LeTV Pictures and Zhang Yimou, and completely tie the two parties to the same boat.

After enjoying the various "benefits" brought by a big director joining the company, he has become obsessed with this feeling.

At this moment, Zhang Zhao seemed to have transformed into Zhang Weiping, who once headed New Picture, and all he wanted was to tie Zhang Yimou, the cash cow, firmly to his side.

Of course, the difference between him and Zhang Weiping is that he will not deduct the benefits that should belong to Zhang Yimou, and will even give him more, just to pursue "win-win" and maximize benefits!
