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

Chapter 747 When there were more and more doubts, I knew I was about to succeed!
After agreeing to meet with Matt Damon in the capital, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

He never expected that this guy was still so "unlucky". After all his pretense, he still fell into the trap.

What's very confusing is that he hasn't been able to remind the other party that "The Great Wall" is a pitfall, and from Matt Damon's tone, he seems to be quite interested in the project and the script.

At this stage, Fade Chen had no other choice but to let him step on it first.

...

The audition and casting for "The Great Wall" has now entered a white-hot stage.

A large number of media reporters gather outside the China Film Studio every day, and from time to time a piece of related information appears on the Internet, thus becoming a hot topic.

No matter whether they are actors from the mainland or Hong Kong, as long as they enter or leave China Film Studio, they will inevitably be captured by the camera and then exposed on the Internet.

At noon, when Chen Fei logged onto Weibo, he saw several new messages on the trending search list:

"Matt Damon, the top Hollywood actor and Oscar winner, appeared at the Capital Airport and arrived at China Film Group Corporation. He is suspected to be here for the casting of The Great Wall."

"After many years, Zhang Ziyi met Zhang Yimou again. The two had a great conversation. The latter was ambitious and aimed directly at the leading female role!"

"The trailer for the TV series Red Sorghum, produced exclusively by Feiyue Films, has been released. Zhou Xun has reappeared as a young girl, and her acting skills are as good as ever."

Looking at the last piece of news about "Red Sorghum", Chen Fei was in a trance for a moment.

"Huh? The Journey of Flower has already finished playing?"

He has never paid much attention to the TV drama business because Jiang Xueruo has always been in charge of this aspect.

When seeing news about Red Sorghum today, one can’t help but feel a little surprised.

After casually forwarding a promotional draft, Chen Fei put the matter behind him.

He had already seen the finished film of "Red Sorghum" before, and the quality was very good. In addition, with Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen supporting the plot, he thought the ratings and revenue should not be too bad.

"Jingle Bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thoughts.

After taking a look at Wang Changtian's name on the caller ID, he pressed the answer button.

"Director Wang? What's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Changtian's voice was a little surprised: "Have you received the invitation to the cocktail party from Jiaxing?"

"Jiaxing? Yang Mi's company?"

"Yeah, that's it."

Fade Chen blinked in confusion: "No, I haven't received any news. Cocktail party? What kind of thing?"

Wang Changtian thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be some kind of investment reception. I heard that Jiaxing seems to be preparing for its first round of financing, and is obviously aiming for a listing."

Jiaxing? Go public?
No matter how he thought about it, Chen Fei couldn't equate these two words.

How can a company that mainly engages in artist management business and relies entirely on outsourcing for its own production business be qualified to go public?

Even if they get financing, how do they spend the money?

"You take such big steps, aren't you afraid of being pulled?"

"That's right." Wang Changtian couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I knew before that Yang Mi and her agent were very ambitious, but I never thought they were so ambitious!"

"Mr. Wang, why don't you go over and take a look? Maybe they have some big secrets. They've only been on their own for two years and they're already raising funds. It's obvious that they have some hidden cards."

Facing Chen Fei's obviously joking words, Wang Changtian unexpectedly became serious: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look when the time comes. I'll let you know if there's any news."

The two were chatting about Jiaxing, but at this time, the atmosphere between Yang Mi and Zeng Jia was a little abnormal.

"Why did you intercept the invitation letter to the investment reception sent to Feiyue Films?"

In the office, Yang Mi frowned and stared at Zeng Jia, her face full of confusion and questioning.

She has made a lot of efforts recently. After finishing filming during the day, she has to go out for social events at night, and even has to endure some old guys who deliberately take advantage of her.

She did all this so that Jiaxing Film and Television Company could successfully go public in the future.

It was also because of her many social events that she finally came to the conclusion that in the entire entertainment industry, Feiyue Film and Television is one of the best investors, even better than the investment companies or investors she had met these days.

Based on this, she believes that Feiyue Film and Television should also be invited to participate in the upcoming investment reception.

But what she never expected was that Zeng Jia actually intercepted the invitation letter she sent to Feiyue Film and Television, which made her very confused.

"Because I think your invitation letter is meaningless. How could Feiyue Films be interested in a small company like Jiaxing?"

Although she said this, what Zeng Jia was thinking in her heart was: Feiyue Film and Television must not be allowed to come, otherwise if they really take a fancy to us, it would be a big trouble!
What she wants is absolute control, but if an "insider" intervenes, it will go against her original intention.

"Whether someone likes it or not and whether someone invites you or not are two different things, right? If you don't even invite them, how do you know that others will not like it?"

Yang Mi's words left Zeng Jia speechless.

After all, everything she did was for the good of the company.

On the other hand, Zeng Jia had other thoughts.

In the end, Zeng Jia, who was currently only the nominal head of Jiaxing Company, was unable to stop Yang Mi. He watched her call her assistant and successfully send out the invitation letter.

"You are just trying to please someone who is not interested in you."

Zeng Jia muttered something, and began to have some little thoughts in her mind again.

She can warmly welcome other companies, but companies like Feiyue Film and Television and Huayi must not be allowed to interfere in any of Jiaxing’s affairs!

Once they intervene, it will be a big trouble.

……

As time goes by, the calendar quietly turns to the much-anticipated 27th.

On this day, the TV series "Red Sorghum" officially hit the screen with its unique charm and exquisite production, living up to the expectations of thousands of viewers.

After only two days of airing, the drama quickly swept the audience's attention like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves!
Not only does its ratings remain high, it also firmly occupies the top three position in the country during the same period, which is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of the quality of the drama and the performance of the actors.

In the play, Zhou Xun's role as "Jiuer" has become the focus of everyone's attention with his unique charm and profound emotional interpretation.

Although this role is different in style from Jiuer played by Gong Li in the film version of Red Sorghum, Zhou Xun successfully displayed Jiuer's tenacity, bravery and tenderness through his deep understanding of the role and superb acting skills, winning unanimous praise from the audience.

This performance also marks Zhou Xun's gorgeous return after many years away from the small screen.

She proved with her own strength that no matter how time passes, her love and persistence for acting has never changed.

In the play, every appearance of Jiuer seems to bring a double feast of vision and emotion to the audience, which makes people moved.

It can be said that Zhou Xun’s return to the TV screen not only added infinite brilliance to the drama "Red Sorghum", but also injected new vitality into the entire film and television industry!
"Sister Xun, I have already arranged a celebration banquet for Red Sorghum. When you and your wife return from your honeymoon, we will meet in the capital."

On July 7 of this year, Zhou Xun and her boyfriend Gao Shengyuan officially registered their marriage.

In order to promote Red Sorghum, Zhou Xun had to postpone his honeymoon.

It was not until the drama was officially registered with the TV station for broadcast that she finally had some free time and went to the Maldives with her new husband.

"Haha, okay, see you in the capital."

Zhou Xun's laughter was heard from the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that she was very excited at the moment.

The TV series was a big hit, her career was a success, and she just got married to her boyfriend, and the two are loving each other very much at the moment.

Now she has double happiness, how can she not be happy?
……

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen handed the phone to his assistant and walked into the set again.

"All departments, get ready, 3-2-1...Action!" Kang Honglei and Li Bingbin were sitting behind the monitor, watching the performance of the second male lead played by Chen Fei.

In the picture, veins bulged on his neck, clearly a sign of extreme emotional excitement.

After catching the drug dealer who abducted, raped, and forced his girlfriend to death during a chase, he did not choose to abide by the "discipline", but killed the other party by "swallowing the gun"!
And this scene happened right in front of the male lead Zhang Hanyu.

With a loud "bang", the brain matter and blood mixed with the props team splashed onto the surrounding bushes and leaves.

Although this scene is very bloody in the camera, it is very refreshing!
Before filming this scene, Chen Fei specifically instructed the camera crew to capture the shot in its entirety.

He will not cut this shot and plans to release it in its entirety.

As for the review department, if they have any objections, let them talk to the people from Golden Shield and the public security department.

The morning passed by in a hurry.

As Kang Honglei shouted "Cut", the entire crew seemed to have pressed the pause button, and everyone quickly withdrew from the roles they were currently playing.

Fade Chen reached out and pulled up the "drug dealer" lying on the ground. He patted his shoulder and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

He is a martial artist himself, so there is no problem for him to shoot this kind of fighting scenes.

But the supporting actors who acted with him suffered a lot, and bumps and bruises were the norm.

"Director Chen, don't worry, I'm fine." Aruna grinned and patted the dust off her chest. She looked in very good condition.

Fade Chen nodded slightly and kept the actor in mind.

Whether in terms of image or acting skills, he is the perfect choice to play the villain.

……

In a blink of an eye, it is already the last day of September.

A large number of media accounts have popped up on Weibo and started to do the month-end summary work of the film and television industry.

"The comedy film "Detective Chinatown" exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, directed by Wang Shiliang, and starring Wang Baoqiang, Huang Xiaoming, Xiao Yang, Zhang Ruoyun, Tong Liya and others has officially ended its release cycle and was successfully released, with a total box office of 13.68 billion yuan!"

"The Chinese-foreign co-production "Five Minutes Before Midnight", produced by Tangren, has been removed from the shelves because its box office potential has been exhausted. The total box office was reported to be 996 million."

"The TV series Red Sorghum has hit a new high in viewership ratings, with the number of online hits for a single episode exceeding 20 million!"

"The third episode of the variety show "Running Man" was released, and the single-episode ratings exceeded 8.7, successfully breaking the ratings record of Mango TV's "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

"The Hollywood blockbuster "The Hunger Games: Phoenix" officially hit domestic theaters at 3:12 last night, and the box office for the midnight show successfully exceeded million!"

There are five hot searches in total, three of which are closely related to Feiyue Films, and one is inextricably linked to Chen Fei.

At this moment, many red-eyed monsters appeared in the film and television industry.

Movies, TV shows, and variety shows are all selling well. The revenue is... even several listed film and television companies in the industry can't catch up!
"Mr. Chen, the celebration party for Detective Chinatown is going to be held in the capital. Do you want to attend?"

After receiving the notification call from Su Guohai, Fade Chen thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused: "Forget it, you go instead of me, I won't go back."

The final stage of award-winning competition in Hollywood is approaching, and he plans to catch up on the progress of "Operation Mekong" to ensure that he has free time to participate in the final stage of public relations work.

"Row."

On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai responded and mentioned another thing: "By the way, Jiaxing also sent an invitation letter for investment."

Jiaxing?

Chen Fei suddenly remembered the call from Wang Changtian two days ago.

At that time, he thought Jiaxing was not going to invite Feiyue Film and Television, but he didn't expect that the invitation letter would finally arrive, albeit late.

"You should go and see what they are doing."

"Ok."

Su Guohai agreed readily.

……

In the blink of an eye, November 11st arrived quietly.

As expected by the industry, with no competitors during the same period, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" successfully achieved an excellent box office of 3 million on the first day.

After seeing this number, many people have shifted their attention away from the November film market and are waiting for the Lunar New Year holiday to arrive.

Because only at that time will it be the carnival moment for domestic films!
Early in the morning, the hot search topics were concentrated on three news items.

In addition to the box office performance of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay", closely following was the news that a host of Mango TV was preparing to switch careers to become a director.

The content of the script has been exposed. Like "You, My Deskmate", it is also adapted from a song. The name of the script is "Gardenia Blossoms".

As the name suggests, this is another youth-themed movie.

Perhaps because of his good popularity, when the news came out, looking around the entire circle, there were only congratulations and greetings, and no one jumped out to sing a different tune.

Coupled with the hype, public relations and marketing by Mango TV, the popularity of the movie has soared, and it seems to be popular before it is filmed and will sell well as soon as it is released.

Compared with the script of "Gardenia Blossoms", the controversy about the third hot search is much greater!
"The outdoor reality show "Go Fighting", jointly produced by Feiyue Films, Enlight Media and Youku, officially announced today the second permanent guest candidate, Sun Honglei!"

When this news came out, the entire entertainment industry, including all netizens, were completely stunned.

At first, when the program team officially announced that the first guest was "Huang Bo", many netizens raised questions.

However, thanks to Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence response on Weibo, the public opinion was finally suppressed to some extent.

And now, when Sun Honglei was officially announced as the second permanent guest of "Go Fighting", the public opinion that had been suppressed with great difficulty was overturned once again!

"Fuck! Is the production crew planning to use Sun Honglei to challenge the audience's limits? Will the kids be scared to tears when he appears on screen?"

"Sun Honglei joined "Go Fighting"? Hey, that's good, let's just change the name of the show to "Go Fighting". After all, who can escape unscathed from Brother Hong Hong's machete?"

"The program team has invited a 'destroyer'. With Sun Honglei here, I guess they will have to rewrite the rules of the game, otherwise there will be no room for him to play!"

"I heard that Sun Honglei will be a permanent resident here, and I'm already worried about the safety of the show's props. After all, in his eyes, everything can be destroyed."

"Why do I feel that the style of this variety show is completely different from Running Man? Huang Bo was ugly and Sun Honglei was fierce. Will the next one be a vicious type? Can this guarantee the ratings of the show?"

There are more and more questioning voices online, all of which are pessimistic about this variety show.

Chen Fei didn't know how many of them were water army. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

If one hopes to stop him just by giving him some unfavorable comments, then the person behind the scenes is totally overthinking.

Because no one knows better than him how great the potential of this variety show is!
……

The next day, due to the release of two imported blockbusters, "The Maze Runner" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows", many people's attention was diverted away from "Go Fighting".

However, even so, there are still many accounts posting negative comments on the official website of "Extreme Challenge".

Just when Gu Yongqiang was wondering whether he needed to use some means to control the comments, an announcement from China Film Group attracted everyone's attention!
"The lead actor of the Sino-foreign co-production "The Great Wall" has been confirmed, and Hollywood's top actor and Oscar winner Matt Damon will officially join the filming of the film."

Once the news came out, it caused a complete sensation in the mainland!
Jointly produced by China Film Group and Universal Pictures, with a basic investment of US$1.5 million, directed by top domestic director Zhang Yimou, and distributed worldwide...

The above conditions are already very impressive, and now there is sudden news that Oscar winner Matt Damon will join the film and play the leading male role.

Isn’t this definitely a top-notch team?
For a time, countless female stars rushed to it like crazy, hoping to take this opportunity to improve both their status and net worth, and smoothly enter Hollywood!
However, when Chen Fei, who was in the crew of "Operation Mekong", saw this news, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Matt! You are such an unlucky guy. You have fallen into a trap this time!"
