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

Chapter 781: Adhering to the principle of quality, Leo plays a villain? Let us celebrate the domestic films!!!

It is no exaggeration to say that the movie "The Crossing (Part 1)" is now being criticized all over the Internet.

With hundreds of millions of dollars invested, it is called an epic masterpiece and is also the Eastern version of "Titanic"...

A lot of bragging was done, but the end result was that during last year's Lunar New Year holiday, the film only earned less than 2 million yuan at the box office.

Wu Yu ran away, Han Sanping hid from debt, and China Film Group lost face because of this!
Logically speaking, when faced with such a bad movie, the best option is to throw it into the warehouse and let it gather dust.

However, this movie is divided into two parts, upper and lower.

No matter how reluctant La Peikang was, other investors would not agree to let him throw the movie into the warehouse and collect dust.

Therefore, no matter how bad the outside reviews are, this movie still has to be released.

In order to minimize the impact, La Peikang finally decided to take advantage of the popularity of the start of filming of "The Great Wall" to release the release date of "The Crossing (Part 2)" in an effort not to make it too conspicuous.

But the final result was that when netizens noticed this situation, they immediately started to curse mercilessly!
"What the hell? Are you kidding me? This kind of shitty 'corpse-level' movie actually has a sequel?"

"I almost forgot. Damn, when the last movie was shown, it seemed like the main characters hadn't boarded the ship yet?"

"I'm really impressed. Can the investors please do something? Is it necessary to release such a bad movie?"

"Haha, look, Wu Yu posted a new Weibo post, saying that if you watch the first and second movies together, it's definitely a top-notch production!"

"Haha, if I believe him again, I'll be a moron! Fuck!"

……

On the set of "The Worst Person in the World", Fade Chen looked at the news online with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Even at this time, Wu Yu is still dreaming his "sweet dream", fantasizing that he can return to the mainland film industry after the release of the second film.

The first half is already so bad, how can the second half be any better?

"Director Chen!"

In a trance, suddenly, Ning Hao's voice came from the set.

"Well, here we come."

Fade Chen responded, stood up, and walked towards the set.

"Are you all ready?" When asking the question, his gaze deliberately stayed on Liu Yifei, observing her current state.

The early filming of the crew went quite smoothly, and Liu Yifei perfectly demonstrated the diversity of thinking.

Medicine, psychology, photography... She is constantly switching her identities, pursuing what she wants and recognizes.

Fortunately, she has a mother who always firmly supports her.

The role of the mother was played by Liu Xiaoli as a guest star.

Although Liu's mother is not a professional actor, she is very adept at acting out such family scenes with her daughter.

With real mother and daughter appearing on the show, the effect is naturally great!

However, on the road to pursuing her dreams, she not only faces external pressure and challenges, but also experiences a struggle between love and career, freedom and responsibility deep in her heart.

The love story between the heroine played by Liu Yifei and the hero played by Chen Fei is an important clue in the movie.

The "male lead" is a successful director, and his talent and achievements make the "female lead" deeply admire him.

The two have been in love and together for many years, and have experienced many ups and downs together. Their relationship is deep and stable.

However, as time went on, the "male protagonist" began to desire a stable family and children, which gradually caused cracks in the relationship between him and the "female protagonist".

The heroine is confused and bewildered by the hero's desire.

She deeply loves the protagonist and understands his desire to have a family, but she herself is not sure whether she is ready to be a mother.

She was worried that the arrival of a child would restrict her pursuit of freedom and dreams, and would no longer allow her to live and work as freely as she does now.

This worry and confusion also caused the heroine to fall into deep distress.

Before filming began, Chen Fei gave Liu Yifei some special training: "During this stage, the heroine you play begins to show fear and anxiety about the future. Emotional changes and inner struggles are the most critical factors, and they must be truly presented..."

"Yeah, I understand."

Liu Yifei nodded slightly.

This is not only the thinking of the heroine in the movie, but also her own thinking.

"An Xi" in the movie is constantly wavering between freedom, responsibility and dreams, and isn't she the same?

……

At the same time, just as Chen Fei's filming entered a critical period, on the other side, a notice of the completion of the filming rushed to the hot search list of the entertainment news website!
"The Republic of China spy war suspense drama "The Pretender", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and starring Jin Dong, Wang Kai, Song Tie, Hu Ge and others, has officially been completed at the Huairou Film and Television Base. The feature film is expected to be broadcast on TV at the end of the year, so stay tuned."

The emergence of this news clearly means that Feiyue Films is about to produce another classic!

Starting from last year's "White Night Chase", and then "The Journey of Flower", "Red Sorghum", "Nirvana in Fire"...

Feiyue Films seems to have always been adhering to the "high-quality" production route.

Even the two youth-themed TV series "The Best of Us" and "Go Go Squid!", which were just launched last night, have demonstrated their "high-quality" results.

Although it is a youth-themed film, but looking around, you can't see those clichéd operations like being together, abortion, breaking up, etc. It only tells the story of the simplest and most ignorant love and friendship. It is full of energy!

Taking advantage of the start of the school season, "The Best of Us" and "Go Go Squid!" have received numerous praises, as well as extremely high ratings and click-through rates as soon as they were launched.

前者豆瓣评分为8.9分（满分10分)，猫眼电影评分为9.1分（满分10分），时光网评分为8.2分（满分10分）。

The latter received over 100 million hits on the day it was broadcast on Youku, and received numerous positive reviews.

Both dramas have become new youth-themed items with their refreshing plots of “no abortion, no amnesia, no car accidents”.

At the same time, it was named "China's Conscientious Youth Drama" for its "good reputation" and "clear style".

It also achieved a dark horse counterattack with a production team without IP, famous directors, or big names, and attracted the support of countless fans!

Just a few days after it went online, a very eye-catching headline successfully topped the Weibo hot search list:
"Feiyue Films has personally stepped in to tell the entire network what a true youth-themed work is. These two dramas are the standard."

Although this title may sound a bit hateful, it is true.

Compared with these two youth-themed TV dramas, other youth-themed works simply cannot compare!

"Ode to Joy is ready to take over. Our goal is the summer vacation. During this period, The Disguiser will complete all post-production and take over..."

Jiang Xueruo carried out the follow-up arrangements and reports in an orderly manner, which impressed Chen Fei.

As expected of a top TV drama producer, if Zhou Yi could have continued his career, he would have become a big name in the mainland film and television industry now!
Unfortunately, it backfired.

"Next, the company will pay more attention to the development of online dramas. After all, we have a huge resource library, and it would be a waste if we don't use it."

"Okay, just look at the arrangements."

Chen Fei was not very concerned about this aspect. After all, he was used to being a hands-off boss and had habitually begun to reduce his burden.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the busy set and picked up the megaphone and shouted, "We'll take a break tomorrow morning and resume filming in the afternoon."

"The Revenant" will be released in China on the 18th. Although Chen Fei is not planning to hold any large-scale premiere event, a media meeting is still inevitable.

Leonardo has already landed in the capital and is adjusting to the jet lag in the hotel. He will also attend the media meeting tomorrow.

……

After a full day of filming, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei to the hotel where Leonardo was staying, ready to take him out for dinner. Although they were already very familiar with each other, Leo came from afar after all, and was a guest, so naturally he could not be neglected.

Led by his assistant, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked into the presidential suite and saw Leonardo, who was curled up on the sofa, staring at the TV screen.

"Leon? What are you looking at?"

Fade Chen asked casually, his eyes following his gaze to the TV screen.

It happened to be the news broadcast time, and on the TV screen, the male host was excitedly connecting with reporters in front.

In the picture, a huge rocket was seen pushing the payload (satellite) into the predetermined orbit, and then it began to adjust its angle on its own, with its bottom facing the ground, in preparation for landing.

After entering the atmosphere, the giant rocket's reverse thrust mechanism began to take effect, allowing for a soft landing.

As time passed, under the gazes of countless people, the giant rocket actually landed smoothly on the platform prepared in advance, achieving a successful soft landing!
Looking at the excited expression of the reporter on the TV screen, Leonardo turned around with a confused look on his face and stared straight at Fade Chen.

After a long pause, he pointed at the TV screen in disbelief and said, "Fei! You Chinese have surpassed NASA and SpaceX and successfully realized the land recovery technology of rockets for the first time! This... This is really shocking!"

Chen Fei shrugged. He was not too surprised by this. After all, he was the operator behind the scenes.

The reason why domestic aerospace technology has been able to achieve a breakthrough in such a short period of time is due to the help of Longxiang Technology.

But in fact, there are even more shocking technologies that have not been released yet.

After all, what Chinese people have always advocated is to keep one hand, retain one hand, and let go of one hand.

“Leon, let’s go out for a meal first and fill your hungry stomach. Don’t faint from hunger at the media meeting tomorrow.”

"okay!"

Leonardo responded, stood up and followed Fade Chen out.

However, his entire mind was still in shock and he couldn't extricate himself.

When did China's technological level surpass that of the United States? This is simply unbelievable!
……

The next day, just as the people of the country were immersed in the fact that my country's aerospace technology level had officially taken the lead in the world and taken a big step forward, "The Revenant" held a media meeting at the Pan Asia flagship cinema in the capital.

That morning, the attention of the entire film and television industry and the entertainment industry turned to this side.

Compared with other imported films, "The Revenant" does not have an advantage in terms of commerciality, but it is very well-known!

A movie that successfully won both the director and the leading actor awards shows how high the level of the movie is.

At the media meeting, when Leonardo came out from backstage, the reporters and fans at the scene were stunned!
You know, his itinerary was kept secret throughout, and the entire mainland entertainment industry had no idea that an international superstar had quietly appeared in the country!

"Hello, fans in China, hello everyone."

On the stage, Leonardo took the microphone from the host Liu Yan and greeted the fans and reporters in the audience in clumsy Chinese, which he had just learned.

Movie fans are going crazy. They really didn’t expect that they would get to see the “Jack” they had been dreaming of seeing today!
Although this Jack is a little fatter than the one in "Titanic", at least he is real!
After some interaction, Fade Chen and Leonardo DiCaprio came to the stage and watched the finished film.

Although he has watched it no less than 10 times, Leonardo still looks very interested every time he sees the finished film.

After all, this is the work that helped him win the Oscar. You wouldn't get bored even if you watched it 10 times, let alone 100 times.

"What are your plans next?"

Halfway through the movie, Fade Chen touched Leonardo's shoulder and asked about his next plans.

Leonardo didn't think much about it and responded casually: "I plan to cooperate with Paramount Pictures to make a historical crime film story, and appear as the producer and the male lead of the film."

"So, your schedule in the second half of the year will be very tight?"

"It's okay. I shouldn't be too nervous." Leonardo said casually. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and stared at Fade Chen with his eyes fixed. He asked excitedly, "Fei, do you have a new project?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and said bluntly: "I plan to gather all the animation film copyrights that Walton Pictures has accumulated so far, and create a virtual space film dominated by VR technology, 3D special effects, and holographic projection to create an immersive viewing experience for the audience..."

As Chen Fei continued to talk, Leonardo became more and more confused.

He was a complete "idiot" when it came to 3D special effects technology and was completely unable to understand the scene that Chen Fei wanted to describe.

Of course, this did not hinder his interest in the film.

It is no exaggeration to say that the name "Chen Fei" alone is enough to make his heart beat fast.

"Fei, so... can I help you with something? This is an animated movie, right? I also have some experience in dubbing, so I can help if you need it."

"No, it's not a pure animated film." Chen Fei shook his head and added, "I need a suitable actor to play the villain. Do you want to try?"

Villain???

Leonardo was slightly stunned and quite surprised.

In all these years in the industry, he has played villains before, but the number of times is not many, and can be counted on one hand.

After all, in comparison, the villain is usually weaker than the good guy, because in the end he will inevitably be defeated by the good guy.

Of course, the "clown" is another matter.

Facing Chen Fei's invitation, Leonardo did not think too much about it. After a moment of hesitation, he agreed.

"Fei, I am always willing to sacrifice myself whenever you need me."

He said this very seriously. After all, before this, he was even prepared to dedicate himself to the female judges for the Oscar.

Fortunately, with the help of Chen Fei, he no longer has to sacrifice "himself".

And now, the people who helped him just wanted him to help play a villain, which was too easy for him.

"Ok, I'll let you know when the project starts preparations. I'll have Natasha give you the script in a few days."

"Row."

Leonardo nodded slightly and successfully decided on his second project after "Black Hand".

……

That afternoon, the news that "The Revenant" was holding a media meeting directly topped the Weibo hot search list, attracting the attention of countless people.

In the evening, the crew of "The Worst Person in the World" released a photo of Leonardo visiting the set, which once again attracted a large number of fans' attention.

The next day, the first day box office of "The Revenant" was officially announced!
With the dual support of Chen Fei and Leonardo DiCaprio, the movie's box office on the first day soared to 8963 million.

This is data that many cinema chains have not given too many screenings. I believe there will be a new wave of increases the next day.

At the same time, with the arrival of the last day of mid-March, the domestic Spring Festival movie season has officially come to an end, with many films being successfully released.

"The comedy film "Charlotte's Troubles", co-produced by Feiyue Films and Happy Twist and starring Shen Teng, Ma Li and Yin Zheng, has ended its first screening cycle with a total box office of 19.65 billion yuan, and has successfully entered its second screening cycle. I wish it a smooth box office of over 20 billion yuan!"

"The love movie "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", jointly produced by Feiyue Films and China Film, directed by Xue Xiaolu, and starring Jiao Enjun, Wan Qian and others, has officially been released, with a total box office of 14.88 billion!
Congratulations to Director Xue for becoming a member of the domestic billion box office club! And successfully becoming the first female director in China! "

"The comedy action movie "From Vegas to Macau 2", co-produced by Feiyue Films and Emperor Entertainment Group, starring Chow Yun-fat, Nick Cheung and Jing Tian, ​​saw a surge in box office sales in the last week, successfully crossing the 10 billion box office threshold and closing at 10.06. Warm congratulations!"

"The action, costume, and war movie "Dragon Blade" co-produced by Huayi and Shanghai Film Group, starring Chen Long, Lin Peng and others, grossed a total of 8.42 million yuan at the box office! The word of mouth is overwhelming!"

"The adventure film Wolf Totem starring Feng Shaofeng grossed 7.54 million yuan at the box office, winning both box office and critical acclaim. Congratulations..."

"This year's Spring Festival, domestic films have won great success, with three films with over 10 billion yuan released. Let's congratulate domestic films!!!"
