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

Chapter 759 The advantage is mine, I will continue to make a fool of myself! Here comes the guy who wants to get something for nothing!
After attending dozens of cocktail parties and waiting until the deadline for submitting Oscar nomination ballots, Chen Fei finally said goodbye to the drunken and extravagant parties.

From this day on, the public relations activities of "The Revenant" officially came to an end.

The next step is to wait for the nomination results to be announced. If you are nominated, the follow-up will be to continue with public relations.

But if you fail to get nominated, then you will have to end it in disgrace and wait to fight again next year.

……

Walt Disney Studios, inside the reception room.

Leonardo sat on the sofa exhausted, with a strong smell of alcohol all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of a wine jar.

The money and energy he invested in this year's public relations can be said to be unprecedented!

Chen Fei had helped him build up momentum to the point of "making a fool of himself", and he himself was also rushing forward with all his might. These days, he was either meeting with other college members or on his way to meet them.

In the past few months, he has become so tired of eating big meals that his chicken and steak taste like plastic.

Fade Chen signaled his assistant to pour a cup of espresso, handed it to Leonardo, and then said, "You can have a good rest for the next half month.

You don't have to worry too much about the nomination. I have already contacted people like Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Robert Zemeckis, and Clint Eastwood, and they will vote for you.

Also, Kathleen Kennedy, CEO of Lucasfilm, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, was just elected vice president of the Academy. She also promised to vote for you for Best Actor, and she can also influence the voting choices of many people.

Therefore, the advantage is on our side! "

Natasha, who was sitting nearby, added with a smile: "The president of the Academy, Tom Sherak, has publicly stated that he hopes to maintain the traditional charm of the Oscars, while also hoping to keep pace with the times and adapt to the ever-changing film market. This is undoubtedly a good signal for us."

"Pfft... Rejuvenation?" Leonardo suddenly laughed. "How reliable can the words "rejuvenation" spoken by a group of old men whose average age is over 65 be?"

Chen Fei spread his hands slightly and said in a noncommittal tone: "This is a rare rejuvenation for the college."

Leonardo took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I will continue to act like a fool to the end!"

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "In the next half month, I will go back to China first, and then I will rush back to Los Angeles when the Golden Globe Awards ceremony begins."

The public relations work has come to an end for the time being, and there is nothing for him to do here, so he might as well go back and continue to follow up on "Operation Mekong".

As for "Avengers 2", the post-production of this movie is almost finished. He has been paying attention to it during this period and there are no major problems.

Leonardo yawned: "Ok, tell me before you leave, I'll take you to the airport."

After saying that, he stood up and staggered outside, ready to go home and sleep for a few days and nights before going out again to make a fool of himself.

After watching Leonardo leave, Fade Chen turned his gaze to Natasha and talked to her about another matter.

"How is the PR for Dangal going? Is there any hope of getting a nomination?"

To this question, Natasha answered very simply: "Yes!"

"That's good."

Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and also walked towards the door.

The public relations campaign has come to a temporary end, so naturally he has nothing to do at the company. So he can get off work early and go back to have a good sleep.

……

At the same time, in China, the female-centered TV series "The Empress of China" starring Fan Bingbing officially started airing.

In the drama, she interpreted the young Wu Zetian with her superb acting skills. She was not only beautiful but also had extraordinary wisdom and courage, attracting the enthusiastic attention of audiences across the country.

Whenever the series is broadcast, countless viewers will stay in front of the TV just to catch a glimpse of Fan Bingbing's version of Wu Zetian.

Her performance was real and vivid, showing Wu Zetian's charm and wisdom to the fullest.

Of course, what attracted more attention from netizens were the countless "white, round upper hemispheres", which attracted the "love" of many male audiences.

On Weibo, netizens said that Fan Bingbing not only has outstanding acting skills, but his two "hemispheres" are also extremely charming, which has made a huge contribution to the ratings of "The Empress of China".

Mango TV, as the platform, has also received a lot of attention. Whenever "The Empress of China" is broadcast, it has the largest number of online viewers!

Although the ratings of "Red Sorghum" were affected to a great extent, it was relatively not a big impact.

The TV series adapted from Zhou Xun + Zhu Yawen + Nobel Prize-winning works focuses on steady progress.

In addition to these hit dramas, the industry's most concerned about the box office performance is "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" and "One Step Away".

The former is rapidly moving towards a box office of 15 billion yuan, and it is estimated that the goal will be achieved in the next few days.

The latter's sluggish box office saw a rise again because it won a spot in the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival, but it soon fell again.

After 7 days of release, the box office grossed 3.86 million yuan.

This result obviously could not meet Jiang Wen's requirements, but he was powerless to change the situation because the film's ratings and reputation were declining and there was no way to stop it.

……

On the evening of the 26th, Chen Fei appeared at the Capital Airport in a very low-key manner.

With the help of the crowd's cover, he successfully left the airport and got on the business car that came to pick him up.

"Did you miss me?"

In the back seat, Liu Yifei blinked her watery eyes and stared at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei's answer to her question was very simple.

kiss!
This night is destined not to be too peaceful.

At noon, Fade Chen sat up from the bed, supporting his sore waist.

After tucking in the quilt for Liu Yifei who was sleeping soundly beside him, he tiptoed out of the bedroom, changed into sportswear, and went to the gym to exercise for half an hour.

Then he returned to the villa, ate a hearty breakfast and read the news online.

For ordinary people, today is just an ordinary day, but for the film and television industry, today is as if a major earthquake has occurred!
In the first rays of sunshine in the early morning, a major announcement from Alibaba Pictures was like a bombshell, detonating the entire mainland film and television industry.

Zhao Yanzi, a director and investor who has become famous in the film and television industry, actually purchased 30.88 billion shares of Alibaba Pictures with a huge amount of money of 19.3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Overnight, her shareholding ratio reached 9.18%, officially becoming the second largest shareholder of Alibaba Pictures.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples!

No one expected that Zhao Yanzi would do such a big thing.

At this point, as one of the four Dan and two Bing, she officially became one of the top assets in the circle.

What is even more shocking is that Li Lianjie, an internationally renowned actor known as the "Kung Fu Emperor", has announced that he will officially serve as a non-executive director of Alibaba Pictures.

The addition of these two people has undoubtedly injected new vitality and influence into Alibaba Pictures.

As these two pieces of news came out, the Hong Kong stock price of Alibaba Pictures soared, and investors rushed in, and the market popularity of Alibaba Pictures continued to heat up...

There was a constant stream of heated discussions online, but Fade Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

He curled his lips and muttered, "Oh, here comes the one who gets something for nothing?"

In addition to the "breaking news" about Alibaba Pictures, many theater and media reports also appeared on the Weibo hot search list.

"After 10 days of release, the box office of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" has exceeded 13.5 billion yuan, only 1.5 million yuan away from its predecessor "The Lost Tomb."

"Pacific Rim 2, a Sino-foreign co-production jointly produced by Feiyue Films, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group, has grossed 25 billion yuan in 16.8 days, and is unlikely to break 20 billion yuan."

"The movie One Step Away, produced by Buyi Lehu Films and directed by Jiang Wen, has seen its daily box office revenue drop to 1613 million yuan. Its box office potential is about to be exhausted and it is unlikely to break through 10 billion yuan."

"The comedy love movie "Micro Love" produced by Huayi, directed by Gu Changwei, and starring Yang Ying, Chen He and others, grossed 3657 million yuan on the first day of its release."

"Many Hollywood movies have officially announced that they will be released in January... Kung Fu, directed by Stephen Chow, will be re-screened soon... 1 Again, starring popular young actor Lu Han, is scheduled to be released on January 20..."

Chen Fei's eyes fell on "Micro Love Is Getting Better".

To his surprise, Gu Changwei's first commercial film performed quite well on the first day of its release! "Xu Ke should really ask Gu Changwei for advice. It's really rare that some people say that the actress trained by Director Gu has good acting skills."

While muttering to himself, Fade Chen couldn't help but think of the outrageous actions of Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli.

The former is habitually still in touch with the latter, while the latter seems to have gone on vacation to France with some young people recently, and it seems that they are now living their own lives.

There have been recent rumors in the circle that the two are getting divorced, but Chen Fei thinks it is unlikely.

If they really wanted to divorce, they wouldn't have waited until today. The interests of both parties are too deeply intertwined, so how could they leave so easily?
……

After breakfast, Fade Chen drove to the company.

The company seemed to be preparing for some audition activities today. From a distance, Chen Fei saw a large group of media and reporters gathered in the large square outside the company. From time to time, one or two actors would walk out of the gate.

He did not join in the fun, but turned the car around and drove into the underground garage, then took the elevator to the editing department.

"Mr. Chen?"

When several employees saw him, they were stunned for a moment.

According to yesterday's news reports, Chen Fei and Leonardo were attending a cocktail party in Hollywood. How come they returned home today?

Chen Fei did not explain anything, but asked directly: "How is it? Is the editing going smoothly?"

"It went quite smoothly." The person in charge came to his senses immediately and quickly stood up and made way.

Chen Fei sat down on the chair without hesitation and began to check it frame by frame.

At the same time, in Shiqi Culture, inside Wang Jinghua’s office.

Looking at Zhu Yawen sitting opposite her, Wang Jinghua looked a little lonely.

She had anticipated this day would come a long time ago, but when it finally came, she couldn't help feeling a little reluctant and regretful.

"Yawen, have you...really thought it through?"

Across the desk, Zhu Yawen chuckled and said, "Sister Hua, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must finally say goodbye."

"Ugh."

Wang Jinghua sighed, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote her name on the termination contract stroke by stroke.

A few minutes later, Zhu Yawen sorted out the information and put it all into the file bag.

"I'll give it to you."

Wang Jinghua stood up and personally escorted Zhu Yawen out of the company.

She did not deduct anything, nor did she deliberately withhold the contract to prevent Zhu Yawen from leaving.

It’s not just because the contract between the two parties has expired, but more importantly, behind Zhu Yawen stands the giant Buddha Chen Fei!

If she dares to embarrass Zhu Yawen, then Shiqi Culture will be in a greater threat!

But if both parties can part ways amicably, there may still be some affection between them, which may come in handy in the future.

~

At exactly 12 o'clock, an announcement from Shiqi Culture landed directly on the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

"Based on the future development needs of the actor and his studio, Shiyi Culture respects Mr. Zhu Yawen's choice and officially ends the ten-year partnership with him. The two parties will part ways peacefully and will not renew the contract."

Compared with the various conflicts and disputes that occurred between other actors and their agencies when terminating their contracts, the "breakup" statement between Zhu Yawen and Shiqi Culture appears to be much more peaceful.

But even so, many people are still curious about the story behind it.

What exactly caused this pair of partners who had worked together for ten years to break up? Did Zhu Yawen have a better development opportunity, or did something go wrong within Shiyi Culture? Or did the two sides have irreconcilable differences during the cooperation?

As many people in the industry were discussing the issue, Zhu Yawen's personal Weibo and studio Weibo also updated their content:

"I am very grateful to Sister Hua for her care and help over the past ten years. I have benefited a lot from it. I hope we can continue to help each other and move forward in the future..."

And with Zhu Yawen's response, the topic of speculation among people in the film and television industry suddenly changed.

Will his departure have an impact on the future of Shiyi Culture? Or is this a signal of internal change at Shiyi Culture?
But no matter what the reason is, it cannot change one fact!
That is, Wang Jinghua, who was once known as the "godmother of the entertainment industry", now seems to have fallen into trouble.

She once founded Shiqi Culture and cultivated countless new stars in the entertainment industry, but now, she has only a few talented people under her command, and there are only two or three kittens left.

Up to now, with the departure of Zhu Yawen, the most famous artist under her is only "Mou Girl" Zhou Dongyu.

Looking ahead, the decline of the 18th century culture seems to be inevitable.

It is generally estimated in the industry that Zhou Dongyu may not stay for long.

The reason is that in order to pave the way for her son, Wang Jinghua is spending her own background and past connections at all costs, resulting in a serious imbalance of resources. This practice has undoubtedly exacerbated the decline of Shiba Culture.

When Chen Fei finished the work at hand and saw the news online, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When Zhu Yawen chose to start his own studio, Chen Fei specifically asked him whether he wanted to be affiliated with Feiyue Films?

However, his proposal was rejected by Zhu Yawen at that time.

That guy made it clear that he was not ready to part ways with Wang Jinghua for the time being.

But unexpectedly, just a few years later, the two parties officially announced their breakup.

After thinking for a moment, Fade Chen found Zhu Yawen's phone number and dialed it directly.

"Hello? Brother Fei, haha, what's going on?"

"I saw on the news... Is this an official 'breakup'?"

"That's right." Zhu Yawen said bluntly on the other end of the phone: "Sister Hua has given 70% of the resources to her son. My contract just happened to expire. There's no point in staying here any longer. I might as well go out and try my luck. Maybe I'll be better than staying in the company."

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a new project on hand?"

"Hey, thanks to you, after Red Sorghum became a big hit, many companies sent me new scripts. I plan to study them and see if there are any film or TV projects that are suitable for me."

Hearing this, Fade Chen immediately said, "It just so happens that I have a good movie project here. How about you come and help play the second male lead?"

Second male?

Zhu Yawen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel curious: "What project?"

"It's the script that the company just approved not long ago."

"The Worst Man in the World?"

Zhu Yawen's voice suddenly became much higher. If this was really the project, he would be willing to play the second or third male lead!

"Yes." Chen Fei explained simply, "This is an award-winning film. Liu Yifei is the leading female role. I will be responsible for directing it myself and will also play the leading male role..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yawen stopped hesitating and interrupted without hesitation: "Okay, that's enough, I'll take this role!"

"Okay, then you can take some time to come to the company to sign a contract and take the script away. The specific start time will be after the Spring Festival."

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

Zhu Yawen responded happily, and after hanging up the phone, he still couldn't contain his excitement.

Originally, he was a little confused about starting his own business. After all, without the protection of the company, his future development would definitely be restricted.

But he never expected that just after he terminated his contract with his former company, Fade Chen gave him a big gift!
Even though it's only a second male lead role, he's able to act with Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, an opportunity that he may not be able to get even if he gets two leading male roles in movies!

"Sure enough, sometimes choice is much more important than hard work!"

Zhu Yawen felt inexplicably emotional. If he hadn't met Chen Fei, he would probably still be working hard in silence, striving to find the day to come out on top, right?
There are dozens of people in the class of Grade 02, but there are only a few who can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
