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

Chapter 768: Short of money? Making money? The turtle and the mung bean are attracted to each other!

"You are brave enough and courageous enough!"

In the office, looking at the cast list of "The Legend of Zhao Zilong", Chen Fei really admired this "unknown" film producer.

It’s fine that they just found a bunch of Korean actors to participate in the show, and we can assume that they wanted to take advantage of the traffic and popularity of these South Korean idol artists.

But the decision to choose Jang Nara to play the leading female role really confused Chen Fei.

In 09, Jang Nara, who was very popular in the TV drama market at that time, ruined her Chinese acting career because of something she said on a South Korean variety show.

Talking about her trip to Huaxia, she said: "Whenever money is tight, I go to Huaxia."

To put it more simply, "I will only go there to make money if I am short of money."

Once these words were spoken, she went from being a "heartthrob" to an object of "everyone's scorn".

In the end, she had to return to South Korea and completely gave up the big piece of the Chinese market.

Now, after 6 years, taking advantage of the Korean wave, she has popped up again in the mainland, and it is obvious that she is preparing to try to make a comeback here.

When the news spread, there was total silence in the industry and everyone was waiting and watching.

At this time, the Internet was in an uproar!

"Zhang Nara said that it's easy to make money here. Now that she sees that the Chinese market is profitable, she wants to come back, right? Haha, anyway, I strongly oppose her returning to film in China!"

"Although Jang Nara's previous works were quite popular, her words were really hurtful. Now that she is back to filming, it feels like she is just trying to make money. She has completely lost the purity of the past."

"After watching that variety show, I immediately felt betrayed. I'm sorry, but I won't buy it this time and will not support her comeback in China!"

"We don't need such an actress. I hope she can stay in South Korea and reflect on her behavior."

"This woman's reputation in China has been completely ruined. Now she wants to come back to film. I think it is an insult to us. I hope the film company can think carefully and not act on her own!"

Male fans are much more rational than female fans. They all have their own standards for what is right and what is wrong.

In less than half an hour, the official Weibo account of "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" was forced to close the comment permission. It was obvious that it could not withstand the impact of netizens.

As to whether the investors will eventually choose to continue using her, there has been no news yet.

However, in Chen Fei's opinion, as long as the film producers are clear-headed enough, they should not have a problem with "money".

Although the domestic film and television circles have not explicitly issued a "ban order" against Jang Nara, the attitude of netizens alone is enough to explain everything.

……

When I arrived at the company in the morning, a piece of news briefly appeared on the headlines of a film and entertainment website.

Brother Chen Kai, accompanied by his wife, son, assistant and others, appeared at the airport, ready to attend the Berlin International Film Festival.

Facing the reporter's questions, Chen Kai raised his head slightly and said in a rather condescending tone: "I have full confidence in the box office performance of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain". No matter who the opponent is, they will have to bow down and surrender!"

At the same time, he recited two lines of poetry again in front of all the reporters: "Sweeping through thousands of troops like a rolling mat, shocking the enemy like a speck of dust!"

"As expected of the great poet Chen! Such talent, wow."

In the office, Huo Qigang, who came to the mainland specifically to sign an import film contract with China Film, was full of emotion.

Although he is not involved in the mainland film industry, he still has a lot of knowledge about the character of the great poet Chen. After all, the latter's reputation is so great.

Across the desk, Fade Chen curled his lips and said casually, "What's the use of being full of momentum? After so many years, he has already become a hairless tiger."

Compared to Brother Chen Kai's arrogance, Chen Fei still admires his wife very much.

When it comes to the good wives of great directors, this one is definitely on the list!

When "Sicario" was announced to be released during the summer vacation a few days ago, she said in front of the media: "Multiple films of different genres competing with each other will also help expand the market and provide audiences with more choices..."

Look at what this person said, how well it is said.
Look at Brother Chen Kai again. He has already used up all his past glory. After so many years, he doesn't even have a serious representative work. It's simply laughable.

"Has the release date of "Drug War 2" been confirmed?"

"Well, it's settled. It's better to do it now than wait for a better day. So we'll just schedule it during the May Day period. I don't know which other movies will come to compete with us."

"Won't you know then?"

As Chen Fei spoke, he opened the safe on the side, took out a script that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Huo Qigang.

"After the completion of Drug War 2, you can wait for the third installment to digest the revenue from the series. You can take this new project back and take a look at it first, and start working on it in the second half of the year."

"Oh? What new project?"

Huo Qigang looked down curiously and saw the two big words "Chasing the Dragon" on the cover of the script.

After opening the script and taking a look at it, his eyes quickly lit up!

"Po Hao? Five hundred million inspector Lei Luo?"

"That's right." Chen Fei followed up his words and said, "These two characters are not only well-known in Hong Kong, but also in the mainland. The script is mainly based on the story line of the two male protagonists..."

After chatting for more than an hour, Huo Qigang, who had almost understood the core of the story, left Feiyue Films with the script.

Guo Jingjing also came to the mainland this time, and went back to the diving team for a stroll. He had to go over there quickly to take care of them.

Hearing that the male members of the diving team were all in better shape than each other, he felt a little nervous.

……

After seeing off Huo Qigang and returning to the office, the news from Hong Kong once again dominated the Weibo hot search list.

The list of nominees for the new Academy Awards has been announced.

Unlike previous years, this year there are unexpectedly many more talented mainland actors, such as Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Tang Wei.

Of course, the real reason why the Academy Awards topped the Weibo hot search list was not the nominations for mainland actors, but the "reform and innovation" proposed by some Hong Kong filmmakers.

"In order to save the ratings of the Academy Awards and for the future of the Hong Kong film industry, we suggest that the Academy Awards should open the registration channel to the entire mainland and Chinese-language film industry and remove the restrictive threshold..."

As soon as this suggestion was made, it was immediately reprinted by many domestic media.

At the same time, more than 60% of people in the mainland film industry expressed their support and recognition, which is really amazing.

Chen Fei blushed when he saw the comments online.

He always thought that it was disgusting enough for losers to deliver water, food, and vagina to lick goddesses, but the faces of some mainland filmmakers licking the Academy Awards were even more disgusting than this!

It would be fine if the other person is willing to accept it. At least after working so hard for so long, there will be some gain.

But the reality is that just one day later, the Hong Kong Film Awards Committee came out and said:

"This joint proposal is a complete betrayal of the original intention of the Hong Kong Film Awards and a betrayal of the Hong Kong film industry..."

As soon as this response came out, those guys who were bootlicking the boot were immediately embarrassed.

You rush to lick someone's feet, and they not only give you a sole, but also a bunch of sticky, hot and smelly dog ​​shit on it.

Looking at those mainland film "old and young" people who urgently deleted their Weibo posts, Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh.

He really wanted to ask these people if their faces hurt, but then he thought, the Golden Rooster and the Golden Statue seem to be of the same nature, it would be strange if these people would take this as a warning.

"You'll all die sooner or later!"

After making a vicious complaint, Chen Fei called Jia Zhangke, who was far away in Shanxi Province, and chatted with him about enrollment and another "big event".

……

The beginning of February passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there are only two days left.

As the most promising domestic film during the Valentine's Day period, the premiere of "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" has attracted much attention in the industry.

After all, this is the second film in a series that has the box office success of the previous film as well as the support of the audience and fans!
Wan Qian started doing her makeup early in the morning, and successfully met up with Xue Xiaolu and other main creative staff on time at eight o'clock.

She took this film more seriously than any other actor, because it was very likely to become one of the most dazzling masterpieces in her acting career. She was nervous but also a little worried.

Although she has successfully gained the support of a large number of fans and drama fans with the TV series "Day and Night Chase".

But compared to Yang Mi, who was the leading actress in the first part, she is far inferior to the other in terms of status and popularity.

When "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" is released, if her performance fails to meet the expectations of fans and audiences, thereby lowering the box office results, she will definitely be criticized by Yang Mi and other fans of this movie!

Although Xue Xiaolu comforted her many times, claiming that her performance was no worse than Yang Mi's, she was still very nervous.

She is very eager to succeed. If this movie starring her can be a big hit, her future career as a film actor will be smoother.

On the other side, Xue Xiaolu had the same idea.

The first film earned more than 6 million yuan at the box office. This time the second film made its grand debut, and it was specially chosen to be released at a time that spans the Valentine's Day and Spring Festival periods. Maybe it can try to hit the 10 billion box office!
After checking the time, Xue Xiaolu ordered, "It's almost time, let's go."

Everyone quickly agreed.

Immediately, a group of people set out from the hotel and headed straight to the premiere venue - Pan Asia Cinemas!
At the same time, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, who had already done her makeup, also set out from the villa. Their destination was the premiere of "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter".

Although they got up very early, the two of them did not feel sleepy at all and were in a very good spirits!
The main reason was a piece of news coming back from Berlin, which immediately dispelled the sleepiness of both of them.

"Breaking news: During the Berlin International Film Festival, on the occasion of Zhang Ziyi's 36th birthday, singer Wang Feng rushed to Berlin to propose to her, and finally succeeded!"

"Reprinted from Berlin Film Festival Entertainment News: At the proposal scene, Zhang Ziyi wore a red dress, and Wang Feng knelt on one knee and presented a 9-carat diamond ring to express his love:

We have stood in everyone's sight, we have experienced happiness and sadness, I hope Ziyi can always have the happiest time, if we are old, I hope I can continue to take care of you. "

"Zhang Ziyi shed tears in Berlin and replied emotionally: I do!"

As the relevant news came back, everyone was shocked to find that Wang Feng, who had tried for a long time but failed to make the headlines on Weibo, finally realized his wish!

As for the successful proposal, netizens think it is meaningless.

The love history of both parties is more exciting than the other. Although the proposal was successful today, it may not be long before they officially announce their divorce.

On the other hand, the entertainment, music, and film and television circles were very lively, with countless actors, stars, singers, etc. sending their blessings.

Among them, Na Ying and Yao Chen were the most excited. Not only did they send several Weibo messages to congratulate them, they also said that they would definitely send big gifts at the wedding!

Seeing that the entertainment industry was so hot, netizens immediately came over and started to make fun of it:

"Tsk tsk, I still remember the beach incident back then, when the sunscreen turned into a massage stick."

"I feel pretty good about it. The marriage of these two is like a perfect match, a perfect match!"

"Poor Teacher Sa, he just met the wrong person."

"Come on, come on, let's vote and see how long it will take for these two to officially announce their breakup."

“I bet five years!”

"I don't think it will take longer. One year at most."

"I feel like these two are a good match. It would be best if they could be locked together for life to prevent them from ruining other people's relationships."

Chen Fei even joined in the fun, switching to his secondary account and casting his precious vote for the option "8 years".

……

Many big names from the mainland are not in the country right now because they are attending the Berlin International Film Festival.

But even so, the premiere of "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" was still very lively. After all, not everyone would be so bored as to run there just to catch the red carpet attention.

In addition, this movie is jointly produced by China Film Group and Feiyue Film and Television, and the director Xue Xiaolu is a professor at Beijing Film Academy, so his network of connections is already full.

When Chen Fei and Liu Yifei arrived, they saw the six-member group of "Extreme Challenge", who had just announced their permanent guest lineup not long ago, walking on the red carpet together.

Among the six-member group, Zhang Yixing should be the worst one in terms of both status and qualifications.

But judging from the on-site response, he is the most popular one!

Sometimes, Chen Fei still admires South Korea. At least they are really good at "making stars", which is far beyond the reach of the mainland film industry.

Amid the cheers of fans, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei stepped onto the red carpet, took a few photos at the request of the media, and then walked into the theater.

"Director Chen! Producer Liu!"

Wan Qian, who was standing at the door, saw the two people come in and immediately came over excitedly.

Fade Chen smiled at her and asked, "How is it? Your first movie with the female lead is about to be released. Are you nervous?"

"Nervous, very nervous, my palms are sweating."

As Wan Qian spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced to the other side.

Chen Fei followed her gaze and saw Yang Mi and Zeng Jia standing together and chatting with Xue Xiaolu, with a group of relatively young actors following behind them.

Chen Fei was quite surprised by her arrival.

If nothing unexpected happens, the media will definitely not give up interviewing her. I wonder if she is mentally prepared?
……

An hour later, the premiere officially began.

As the lights dimmed, the film officially began to play.

This film tells a unique love story that transcends national borders and cultures. Through the exchange of letters, it shows the process of the two protagonists going from strangers to knowing each other.

This traditional way of communication allows the two to gradually discover each other's authenticity and attraction between the lines, and also reflects modern people's desire for sincere emotions.

The film not only focuses on the growth and emotional changes of the two protagonists, but also delves into themes such as loneliness, desire, courage and trust in human nature. Through the mutual support and understanding between the characters, the audience can truly feel the power of love and the warmth of humanity.

Xue Xiaolu is worthy of being a professor of literature. Under her writing, there are many touching lines in the movie.

Lines such as "Only when it's dark can you see the stars" and "Live towards death" are not only philosophical, but also resonate with the audience and make people think more deeply about life and love.

In addition, the outstanding acting skills of Wan Qian and Jiao Enjun also add a lot to the film. They successfully created two vivid characters, allowing the audience to feel the characters' emotions and inner world more deeply.

Two hours later, the movie ended.

Xue Xiaolu led a group of main creators to the stage and began to accept interviews from the on-site media.

After the routine congratulations, the first question from the media is always the box office, which is also an inseparable topic for a commercial film.

Everyone in the audience looked at Xue Xiaolu, waiting for her answer.

The next second, she took the microphone on the stage, with confidence and calmness on her face: "If I remember correctly, there seems to be no female director of a billion-dollar box office movie in China, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emotions of all the media reporters present were immediately ignited, and everyone seemed to have seen the headlines of the afternoon's hot search list!

As Chen Fei expected, the media at the scene did not let Yang Mi go in the end.

After the interviews with the main creative members were finished, the reporters turned their attention directly to her who was sitting in the third row.

"Yang Mi, how do you evaluate the actress Wan Qian who replaced you in "Beijing Meets Seattle: Unbreakable Love Letter"?"

In the audience, Yang Mi, who had already prepared herself mentally, smiled and responded, "Very good. I hope that with her joining, the film can achieve better results..."

No one knew that when Yang Mi said this, her heart was filled with unspeakable loss.

Although she has little experience in business, she can still tell a good movie from a bad one.

The second part is obviously much better than the first one she starred in, both in terms of quality and effect!

"If I hadn't left in the first place... well, there's no going back now."
