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

Chapter 780: Gambling? Many big-budget "movies" are coming soon!
Here, the news that Chen Fei’s new movie has started shooting is still high on the Weibo hot search list and has not fallen off the list for a long time.

On the other hand, in the film market, a number of films released in February have gradually declined.

Looking around, "Charlotte's Troubles" is still the strongest, with the current box office reaching 18 billion. If the subsequent key extension is added, the 20 billion box office is just around the corner!
As the main actors of the film, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Yin Zheng and others became overnight hits, and their popularity was incredibly high!
Second only to "Charlotte's Troubles" is "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" directed by Xue Xiaolu, which has now grossed 12.6 billion yuan.

Because she replaced Yang Mi as the heroine in the second part, and the movie became a huge hit, Wan Qian's status also rose and she officially became one of the first-line actresses.

Being the leading actress in a movie with a box office of over 10 billion is very rare in the entire film industry!
It is no exaggeration to say that you can count them with just two hands.

Ranked third on the Spring Festival box office list is "The Man from Macau 2", jointly produced by Emperor Entertainment Group and Feiyue Pictures. The total box office has now reached 9 million yuan, and the two investors can be said to have made a lot of money.

"Dragon Blade" and "Wolf Totem" ranked fourth and fifth with 8.5 million and 7.16 million respectively.

As for other movies, there is no need to pay attention to them at all, each one is worse than the last!

Especially the "Where Are We Going, Dad 2", which was praised by netizens as the best of bad movies and a rotten fish in the "money-making world"!

At the same time, with the end of the Spring Festival period, major film companies in the industry have once again launched a new round of competition.

In a blink of an eye, several more movies have announced their release dates:
"The movie version of "Diaosi Nanren" - "Jianbing Man", which is controlled by Sohu and co-produced by Wanda and Xinli, has been scheduled to be officially released on July 7! It will compete in the summer vacation season."

"Starring Guo Fucheng, Gong Li, Feng Shaofeng, Xiao Shenyang and others, the large-scale fantasy blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon", with a production cost of up to 5.4 million yuan, officially announced its completion today and will be released during the Spring Festival."

"The film "Old Cannon", produced by Huayi and directed by veteran director Guan Hu, which brings together a number of powerful actors such as Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, and Xu Qing, held a high-profile wrap-up ceremony in Beijing and publicly announced that it will compete in the Lunar New Year box office."

"The youth suspense film "I Am a Witness" directed by An Sang-hoon, written by Gu Xiaobai, and starring Yang Mi, Lu Han, Wang Jingchun, Zhu Yawen, etc., will be released in mainland China on October 10. It is reported that this film is adapted from the Korean film "Blind Witness"..."

With the release dates and completion of these films, the Chinese-language film market has once again ushered in new vitality, while also ushering in a new round of competition.

"Why choose November? Isn't October the National Day date?"

At Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi was quite puzzled when she saw the release date of "I Am a Witness" announced.

In her opinion, the seven-day holiday in October is perfect for a movie to pursue high box office. As for November, it is purely an unpopular period and has no advantages at all.

The most crucial thing is that the movie "Sicario" starring Liu Shishi is actually scheduled to be released during the summer vacation!
That’s a popular time slot. If that woman can chase after him, why can’t I chase after a popular time slot?

In a trance, she even felt that everything had changed.

It is clear that many years ago, actresses such as Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Shu Chang, and Wan Qian had to line up behind her.

But now, they all caught up with her, and it seemed that some of them had surpassed her!

Is choice really more important than hard work?

In a trance, she heard Zeng Jia's voice ringing in her ears: "National Day? Don't dream. I heard that the main theme movie "Operation Mekong" directed and starred by Director Chen has been scheduled for the National Day. How can we compete with it?"

After hearing this, Yang Mi was speechless.

No wonder she hasn’t seen any news about any big-budget movies scheduled for National Day recently. It turns out that they are all avoiding “Operation Mekong”!

……

The next day, Chen Fei got up early and called Liu Yifei.

If it were a normal day, if he dared to wake up Miss Liu, he would definitely be greeted with a wave of "bombardment"!
But right now it's the filming period, so she wouldn't complain too much even if you woke her up in the morning or called her in the middle of the night.

When it comes to professionalism, Liu Yifei can be ranked among the many actresses Chen Fei has worked with.

"Pick me up."

Putting her arms around Chen Fei's neck, Liu Yifei acted coquettishly with sleepy eyes, her body fragrant and soft.

Fade Chen stretched out his hand through her waist, held her horizontally, and walked towards the bathroom together.

"Come on, take a shower, you'll wake up quickly."

"You can take a shower, but you can't do bad things!"

"What kind of person am I?"

As expected, the crew started filming a little late today.

Chen Fei used the excuse of "traffic jam" to get away with it without blushing or beating his heart. Everyone did not suspect him and quickly got back to work.

Only Liu Yifei, who was putting on makeup not far away, rolled her eyes and muttered, "Puppy! Chen Fei is a puppy! He doesn't listen at all! He always does bad things!"

……

In a blink of an eye, the morning shooting was over.

During lunch break, Ning Hao happily came up to Chen Fei and handed him the tablet computer.

"What is it?" Fade Chen asked subconsciously.

Ning Hao said mysteriously: "You will know when you take a look."

Hearing this, Fade Chen looked at the tablet computer and immediately became happy.

This year's 6th Golden Broom Awards have just been announced. Looking around, those directors, actors, movies, etc. that were embroiled in controversy last year are on the list!
Yang Mi successfully won the Most Disappointing Actress Award for her two films, "Tiny Times 3: The Last Thing" and "The Breakup Master".

Zhen Zixuan won the Most Disappointing Actor Award for his performance in the two films "Iceman: The Gate of Rebirth" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".

Guo Jingming won the Most Disappointing Screenwriter Award and the Most Disappointing Director Award for "Tiny Times 3: The Age of Leftover Gold", and won the Golden Broom Award for the second time.

Deng Chao won the Most Disappointing Film Award for "The Breakup Master", winning the "big prize" for the first time!
In the comment section at this moment, many fans were scolding the Golden Broom for being biased and saying that the award was really bad.

But in Chen Fei's opinion, although the Golden Broom Award is a folk award, the award results are still quite fair, at least much fairer than the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Horse Awards!

"I can't even imagine, if I were on this award list, would I be so ashamed that I would quit the circle?"

Ning Hao spoke with emotion, his words full of resistance to the Golden Broom Award.

Chen Fei laughed: "Then you are still not thick-skinned enough. Look at Guo Jingming, he is already taking advantage of the popularity to promote the final episode of his Tiny Times."

Following the announcement of the Golden Broom Awards, Guo Jingming immediately held a press conference and made the official announcement to the public.

“The fourth film in the Tiny Times series, The End of the Soul, directed by me, has been officially scheduled to be released on July 7 and will compete in the summer vacation schedule.

Since we agreed not to separate, we will remain best friends even if we die!
At the same time, the documentary "The Best of Us" in the "Hourly" series will also be launched on multiple platforms on July 7. This documentary contains precious behind-the-scenes footage of the film that has never been exposed, as well as creative footage from scratch. I hope everyone can go and support it..."

Once this person becomes shameless, the speed at which he makes money will naturally increase.

With the help of the popularity of the Golden Broom Awards, the popularity of "Tiny Times 4: The Soul's End" suddenly soared and rushed straight to the Weibo hot search list.

The leading actors such as Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, Guo Biting, Xie Yilin, Chen Xuedong and others have also received a lot of attention!

"Mi Mi, this time, you will have to face off against Liu Shi Shi again."

"Come on, who's afraid of who?"

Yang Mi was very confident. After all, before this, Liu Shishi had always been defeated by her.

Although she was lucky enough to get the help of Feiyue Films this time, which made her the leading actress in the movie, her partner was a third-tier male actor. Moreover, the story of the movie was about war. It seemed that the film did not have the conditions to become a hit.

On the other hand, "Tiny Times 4" is a movie that is sought after by a large number of fans. How can she, Liu Shishi, compare with it?
Zeng Jia also had the same idea. She didn't take Liu Shishi seriously at all. After all, they had won too many times before.

The two did not have an in-depth conversation about the summer vacation season, but instead mentioned something else.

"By the way, Mimi, I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

Zeng Jia suddenly lowered her voice, her tone revealing an unconcealable joy.

Hearing this, Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Zeng Jia's unusually bright eyes, and couldn't help but become curious.

"What good news?" "Hey, our company has a new investor!" Zeng Jia smiled proudly, "They are big names in the industry. They see our development potential and plan to invest a large sum of money."

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a storm in Yang Mi's heart.

She knows very well that this is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Jiaxing Media, which is at a critical stage of development.

"What is the exact number? Can it directly push the company to go public?"

Hearing Yang Mi's question, the smile on Zeng Jia's face froze.

"Mi Mi, are you kidding? How can they push it to the IPO directly? Capital is blood-sucking, how can they inject so much money at once? It has to be done in rounds."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Yang Mi was somewhat disappointed. She thought that with Jiaxing's current development, she could achieve success overnight.

But at this moment, Zeng Jia suddenly added: "Actually, it's not that there is no way to speed it up."

"Oh? What?"

"You must have heard that there is a very popular operation method in the film and television industry now, and its name is - gambling!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi's heart suddenly shook, and her eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.

……

Since the project of "The Great Wall" was officially announced, from auditions to training, it has spanned a full 6 months!

Finally, in mid-March, the film officially started shooting.

After getting up in the morning, Chen Fei hurried out the door, ready to go to the launch ceremony of "The Great Wall".

Liu Yifei slept in this morning, which was a rare occasion, because the crew of "The Worst Person in the World" had the whole morning off, and filming would not resume in the afternoon until Chen Fei and Ning Hao returned from the launch conference.

As one of the most anticipated movies in the industry, the launch conference of "The Great Wall" received great attention from the industry.

When Chen Fei arrived at the scene and met up with Ning Hao, he saw many familiar faces around.

Jiang Wen, Han Sanping, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Xu Ke...

Ning Hao looked around and suddenly asked curiously, "Huh? Isn't Brother Chen Kai also in the capital during this period? Why didn't he come to the launch conference of The Great Wall?"

"I just can't bring myself to do that." Chen Fei hit the nail on the head and pointed out the pain point of the great poet Chen.

When the director of "The Great Wall" was being selected, Chen Kai was also a competitor, but in the end China Film Group chose Zhang Yimou instead of him.

This made Brother Chen Kai, who thought he was extremely capable and had a high status, very unhappy. He had said on many occasions in public that the latter was just a peasant.

He had already lost once in the 08 Olympics, and now he lost again. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face in public!

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Brother Chen Kai could come!

"Chen Fei, Ning Hao, come here! What are you two doing standing there?"

Jiang Wen's loud roar attracted the attention of many people at the scene, and many actors' eyes lit up when they saw the two of them.

Only the group of old men who "stood out from the crowd" were very arrogant. After snorting coldly, they all walked away.

Chen Fei didn't even look at them as human beings, and just chatted with Jiang Wen.

"Director Jiang, I heard that you are currently preparing for the third part of the Beiyang Trilogy? Is that true?"

"Indeed, it is being prepared." Jiang Wen nodded, without any intention of hiding anything: "When you have time, you can read Zhang Beihai's original novel "Hidden Heroes". I plan to develop the story around this novel..."

Chen Fei suddenly regretted asking him.

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he mentioned the new script, Jiang Wen immediately pulled him aside and started talking nonstop.

Even if someone came over to say hello, he would not leave and just stared at them.

After scaring the guy away, he pulled Chen Fei aside and started chatting with him. He also repeatedly urged him to read the original novel and give him some suggestions when the time comes.

It wasn't until the launch conference of "The Great Wall" officially began that he finally calmed down.

"Damn it, if I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have greeted him..."

Chen Fei looked helpless and almost fainted from Jiang Wen's "tightening curse".

……

As the launch conference of "The Great Wall" officially began, director Zhang Yimou and his acting team immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Looking around, Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and other stars walked out slowly from the backstage entrance, and every step was accompanied by warm applause and countless flashing cameras.

Sitting in the front row, Chen Fei, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Feng Xiaogang and others were very close to the creative team and could even communicate with them easily.

Without exception, every actor gave them a greeting look when they saw them.

Jing Tian even waved towards Chen Fei with a smile, attracting a lot of attention.

When interviewed by the media, Zhang Yimou expressed his expectation and confidence in the upcoming filming of "The Great Wall", and even said that he wanted to make this work into a true international blockbuster!

The actors were all in high spirits, especially Jing Tian. Surrounded by a crowd of people, she stood out.

Facing the audience of professionals, she earnestly expressed her understanding and love for the role. Her dedication and enthusiasm seemed to have made people see her wonderful performance in the film.

However, the highlights of this press conference go far beyond this.

La Peikang, Zhang Zhao and the vice president of Universal also showed up to support the event. Their passionate speeches and bold words pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Below the stage, applause and exclamations from the media and guests rose one after another, as if cheering for the future of this film.

However, looking at this grand occasion, Fade Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

A movie launch conference is so grand. How will it end after the movie is released?

There is also La Peikang.

He was smiling brightly on the stage, talking about the success of "The Great Wall", and seemed to have forgotten the tragedy of "The Crossing".

Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and looked at Han Sanping.

As expected, San Ye's face was full of envy at this moment, as if he was wondering, why he failed to discover such a good film project when he took the position of Chairman of China Film Corporation?
"Ugh!"

Chen Fei secretly sighed and silently wished them good luck in his heart.

……

As soon as the press conference ended, related news was reported online.

"The Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall", jointly produced by Universal Pictures, China Film Group and LeTV, directed by Zhang Yimou, and starring Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, William Dafoe, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and others, successfully held its launch conference in the capital this morning."

"It is reported that after the launch conference, all the crew members of The Great Wall will rush to Lingshan Bay Film and Television Cultural Industry Zone to officially start filming."

"Many top directors in the industry showed up to support the launch conference, but Chen Kai was unfortunately absent."

"Temporary notice: jointly produced by China Film, Huayi, LeTV, Bona, Movie Channel, Huace and other companies.

Directed by Wu Yu and starring Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Song Hye Kyo, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and others, the oriental love, disaster, and epic film "The Crossing" has officially announced that it will be released on July 7 and will compete in the summer vacation schedule..."
