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

Chapter 771 Who said I wanted to marry you? The old man's two faces!

After the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles", Chen Fei left the scene with Ning Hao and Guo Fan.

As for the subsequent lunch session, the three of them did not join in the fun.

Because facing a large group of media and second- and third-tier artists, the three of them will inevitably become "living targets" and will definitely cause inevitable chaos.

After parting with the two, Fade Chen returned directly to the villa, and then he and Liu Yifei, who had already packed everything, headed straight to the airport, ready to rush to the Magic City.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" built in Shanghai has officially opened. Now is a good time to visit.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Fei also planned to take a look at the specific situation of the internal construction of the theme park to check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Next, if the revenue is good enough, the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" will be constructed on a large scale.

Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places are all target areas for future expansion of the theme park.

At the same time, just as Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were quietly boarding a plane to Shanghai, news about the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles" had already exploded on the Internet!

The main reason was because of his "big words".

"This is a movie that is not inferior to "Lost in Thailand". The box office will definitely exceed 10 billion, and may even go higher..."

These words were like a bombshell, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire film industry and netizens!

It is no exaggeration to say that his words not only made the audience's expectations for the movie soar, but also to some extent broke people's expectations of the movie's box office performance.

For a time, his "big words" quickly became the focus of heated discussion and spread on social media and among movie fans.

The Happy Twist team is so annoyed.

You know, they worked hard for nearly half a year, running around to promote the film, appearing on shows, and doing preview screenings.

But all the hard work for so long was not as effective as what Chen Fei said.

That afternoon, news about "Charlotte's Troubles" directly topped the Weibo hot search list and stayed there for a long time, directly crushing the popularity of all movies in the same period.

Many production companies in the industry have cast envious eyes towards Happy Twist. With such great support from Chen Fei, this company may really have the potential to achieve some success.

However, the number “10 billion+” still attracted many people’s doubts.

After all, "Lost in Thailand" has the support of a series of well-known actors in the circle such as Chen Fei, Huang Bo, Yang Mi, Zhou Xun, etc., coupled with a top-notch script story, which makes it possible to achieve a small win with a big risk.

But the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" comes from a stage play, and except for Shen Teng and Ma Li, the other actors are not very famous.

Can such a work really achieve a billion+ achievement?
Many people have begun looking forward to the upcoming Spring Festival, ready to test the quality of this movie.

Related hot searches continued until the afternoon, when they were suppressed by new news.

"It is reported that Tangde Pictures, which is held by Fan Bingbing and Zhao Yanzi, was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange today. The two well-known actresses in the industry were present in person to ring the bell and make speeches."

"On the day of Tangde Pictures' IPO, its market value successfully soared to 150 billion RMB."

"Zhao Yanzi and Fan Bingbing's net worth has both increased by 10 billion, and they have successfully become new forces and new capital in the industry. The former is also a major shareholder of Alibaba Pictures..."

At this point, another new capital has been launched in the film and television industry, and the era of flourishing capital is one step closer.

Magic City, inside the hotel.

Liu Yifei was quite surprised when she read the news online: "Net worth increased by 10 billion? That's amazing!"

Chen Fei asked with a smile: "Why? Are you envious? If you want, I can help you turn Red Star Studio into a listed company and let you become the chairman of a listed film and television company."

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

Liu Yifei felt a headache when she thought about not being able to sleep in after the company went public.

My life is better now. I can shoot when there is a movie to watch, and sleep in when there is no movie to watch. I don’t have to worry about anything. It’s so comfortable.

Moreover, she never has to worry about having no money to spend. Even if she is now announcing her retirement from the film industry, the profits from the movie roles she has participated in alone are enough to make her live a very comfortable life for the rest of her life.

At worst, she still has a boyfriend who is a big director and has big capital, so she doesn't have to worry about the rest of her life.

Time flies and night falls.

When the sky darkened, Liu Yifei took out a large mask from her suitcase and covered half of her face tightly.

"Come on, let's go out and play. I want to ride the Ferris wheel."

"it is good."

Fade Chen nodded, and walked out of the door hand in hand with her.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park is particularly lively tonight. In addition to the bright and dazzling light show, there is also a specially prepared fireworks show at twelve o'clock in the morning.

The two ran in the crowd and had a lot of fun.

There were shouts and screams everywhere, and no one noticed that there was a top international director and a top actress running around like children in the park.

At 11:45, the two got on the Ferris wheel.

At that moment of 12 o'clock, as the fireworks exploded in the sky, the Ferris wheel just rose to its highest position.

Liu Yifei, who was originally watching the fireworks, suddenly turned around, reached out to pull down Chen Fei's mask under his puzzled gaze, and pressed her lips against his.

The fragrance and sweetness flowed between their tongues.

At this moment, time seems to have stopped, and the fireworks above our heads become brighter and more dazzling!
After getting off the Ferris wheel, the two of them did not go anywhere else to play, but went straight to the hotel as if they had agreed.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight has filled the sky, its beauty and charm are enough to make people intoxicated.

Inside the room, the originally bright lights had gone out, leaving only dim fluorescent lights flickering in the quiet air, like tiny bits of hope, flickering faintly but firmly in the darkness.

A sweet scent began to permeate the air, and a fiery feeling quietly rose, seeming to stir up a slight ripple in the silent night.

In this atmosphere, people's emotions are also silently aroused and begin to become excited.

Liu Yifei's voice rang out from time to time, appearing and disappearing like the cry of a kitten, with an indescribable charm that made people indulge in it and unable to extricate themselves.

On the 30th, both of them got up very early.

Liu Yifei is going back to her hometown and going to her grandmother's house with Liu Xiaoli to celebrate the New Year.

Chen Fei will return to the capital to celebrate the New Year with the old man.

Men and women in love always want to stick together all the time and wish they would never be separated, but after all, they are not married yet, and it is not convenient for Liu Yifei to go back with Chen Fei to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, the two had to reluctantly part at the airport.

"Remember to tell me when you get home!"

"Yeah, you too, report your safety when you return."

If there weren't so many people at the airport, Miss Liu would have definitely snuggled into Fade Chen's arms by now.

The Oscars ceremony will be held after New Year's Eve, and Chen Fei has to fly to Los Angeles on the second day of the New Year, which means that the two will be separated for at least 10 days!
Just thinking about it, Miss Liu felt reluctant.

"After I marry you, we will never be separated again. I will take you with me wherever I go. How about that?"

As soon as Chen Fei said this, Liu Yifei's face turned red with embarrassment.

Just at this moment, the boarding reminder sounded over the loudspeaker. She quickly picked up her bag and walked towards the boarding gate, muttering quietly, "Who... who said they wanted to marry you?"

Chen Fei walked beside her with her boarding pass in his hand, and said cheerfully, "I don't care. You have to marry me whether you want to or not. If it doesn't work, I will find a rope to tie you back and let you give birth to a big fat boy for me."

"Bah! I don't want it!"

Although she kept saying "don't want to" and "no", Liu Yifei's eyes were already curved with a smile, and her eyes were full of longing.

……

After seeing Liu Yifei off, Chen Fei also boarded the plane smoothly.

After connecting to the Internet, he opened Weibo and watched with great interest the "apology meeting" held by Prince Long in the capital.

This apology meeting was broadcast live to the entire network. Looking around, there were at least 300 media outlets at the scene. It was so lively!
It is no exaggeration to say that all the movie premieres held in the Chinese-language film industry this year were not as grand as the apology meeting of Prince Long.

This shows how much attention the industry pays to him!

However, while watching Prince Long crying and saying that he was wrong on the stage, Chen Fei suddenly remembered the movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" in which he personally participated. If nothing unexpected happened, Brother Chen Kai should have kept the role of Prince Long.

What’s even more outrageous is that the people on the review committee approved it!
I don’t know how intense, lively, or even explosive the domestic public opinion will be after this movie is officially released!

In the evening, Fade Chen finally returned to the courtyard.

As soon as I walked in from the alley, I looked around and saw that the big red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets had been hung high, and the "inverted blessing" on the door was pasted extremely neatly and symmetrically.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the old man sweeping the leaves scattered in the corner of the courtyard with a broom.

Seeing someone coming in, the old man raised his eyes and looked over.

When he saw Chen Fei for the first time, a smile immediately appeared on the old man's face, but then his eyes looked behind him.

When he saw that there was no one behind him, the smile on the old man's face suddenly froze.

"You came back alone?"

"Yeah! Alone!" Chen Fei was carrying two large bags of New Year's goods and smiled cheerfully, "I didn't have time to come back last year, but this year I finally have a few days of free time. I'll come back to spend the New Year with you."

Chen Fei smiled happily.

However, soon, his enthusiasm was met with a cold shoulder.

"Why did you come back alone? I'm not too old to move, so why do I need you to accompany me? Do I need you? You're already 31 after the Chinese New Year, and you don't even have a wife. I'm ashamed for you. Look at the Zhang family, they're about to have a great-grandson..."

From a distance, Fade Chen could even see saliva spurting out of the old man's mouth.

If he dared to go over now, he might get sprayed directly in the face!

With a rather helpless bitter smile, Fade Chen quickly explained: "I have found a granddaughter-in-law for you, but she has to go home for the New Year. After all, she hasn't married yet, so she can't just come with you, right?"

"Um?!"

The old man pursed his lips, raised his white eyebrows, and asked curiously: "You really found it, you didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? Wait until she comes back and I'll ask her to come and wish you a happy new year. That should be fine, right?"

"Which girl is it?"

"She's the one who brings you food and drinks every now and then. You're not very satisfied with her, so I brought her back for you."

"Sissi girl?"

"Yes, it's her!"

"Oh, good boy, you finally got it! It's worth all my years of scolding... oh no, teaching..."

In an instant, the old man's anger turned into joy. He leaned his broom against the wall and walked towards the kitchen, shouting at Fade Chen:
"Go wash your hands first, and I'll go get some dishes. We'll have a nice drink tonight to celebrate!"

Seeing the old man's back disappearing at the kitchen door in the yard, Fade Chen couldn't help but twitching his lips.

He suddenly realized that without the explanations just now, he might not even be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight!

"Isn't it just 31? Is that a big deal? Does that make me an old bachelor? And still single?"

While muttering to himself, he walked into the living room and took out fruits, melon seeds, snacks and other things for future use.

The old man will definitely watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight, which has become a must every year.

……

"What's this all about?"

In the restaurant, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, the old man muttered to himself and almost started cursing.

A group of young handsome guys were singing and dancing, which looked quite festive, but the show was really hard to describe.

Especially the "forced reunion" operation, which really confused Chen Fei. He didn't know what the director team was thinking that such an awkward program could be selected.

From his point of view, in the entire Spring Festival Gala program, only Shen Teng and Ma Li's anti-corruption skit could barely make people laugh.

Apart from this, nothing else caught his eye!
But even so, Chen Fei still forced himself to watch the entire Spring Festival Gala with the old man.

This is a very rare reunion moment in the year. If it doesn’t look good, then it doesn’t look good. Just think of it as a not-so-delicious side dish.

After 12 o'clock, the Lunar New Year arrives quietly.

At the same time, the Chinese-language film market has also ushered in an unprecedented fierce battle!
After a long period of anticipation and preheating, many highly anticipated domestic blockbusters such as "Charlotte's Troubles", "Wolf Totem", "Dragon Blade", "Triumph in the Skies", "The Man from Macau 2", and "Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal" finally landed in major theaters across the country at the same time in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At this moment, the most competitive Spring Festival period of the year officially kicked off, attracting the attention of countless viewers!

The old man wanted to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, so a young man like Chen Fei naturally didn't need to stay up late.

After wishing Liu Yifei a happy new year and good night, he went to bed early.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, he was called up and started helping to make dumplings.

At the same time, with the arrival of the Spring Festival, New Year greetings calls, text messages, social messages and Weibo messages from all over the country flew in like snowflakes early in the morning, and the number was almost enough to drown him!

Despite being busy, Chen Fei still did not forget to reply.

Among these messages, there is no shortage of heated discussions and expectations about the movies scheduled for the Spring Festival.

"Director Chen! I have good news for you. The box office of Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter has exceeded 6 million after six days of release!"

On the phone, Xue Xiaolu could not hide his excitement.

This achievement is undoubtedly a full recognition for her!

Chen Fei said jokingly: "Director Xue, how about this New Year's gift? It's pretty good, right?"

"That's great!" Xue Xiaolu said excitedly, "Director Chen, I'm planning to prepare an award-winning film for my next project, and I'll look for you then."

"Okay, welcome."

Chen Fei responded with a smile.

As soon as the call ended, a new call came in from the other side.

After taking a look at the name of La Beikang on the caller ID, Chen Fei pressed the answer button.

"Happy New Year, Mr. La."

"Yeah, you too, happy new year."

After the routine greetings, the two chatted for a while about the Spring Festival period.

But just as Chen Fei was about to hang up, La Peikang suddenly mentioned another thing: "I heard that when the Directors Association convened a meeting of directors in the industry some time ago, they specially sent you an invitation letter, but you rejected it?"

Hearing this, Fade Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised: "What? Someone went to you to complain about me?"

"Yeah." Labeikang didn't keep silent: "Someone reported to the higher-ups that your behavior is not conducive to unity."

"Pfft, hahaha!" Fade Chen couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, "So what? What do they mean? Want me to take the blame?"

"No, I just want you to rejoin the association and participate in the selection of major film festivals and awards in the mainland."

Fade Chen laughed: "Then become their stepping stone, carry their sedan chair, recognize them as godfathers, and lick their toes?"

On the other end of the phone, La Beikang suddenly fell silent.

"Boss La, it's New Year's Day, I don't want to cause you any trouble, just tell them to give up on this idea, come at me if you have any tricks, I'm ready to take them, come and fight if you have the guts, we'll see who's afraid of who and that'll be it..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, La Beikang smiled bitterly.

He knew this would happen. Although Chen Fei usually had a good temper and was always smiling, this kid actually had a lot of stubbornness in him.

The old guys in the association were faced with a tough nut to crack when they faced him.

"Forget it. I don't care. Anyway, Taking Tiger Mountain and Operation Mekong are not projects controlled by China Film Group. My opinion on whether they participate in the Golden Rooster Awards is not final. I can get the job done with this phone call."

After muttering a few words, La Beikang threw his phone aside and turned to make dumplings.

As for those old guys, let them worry about it!
