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

Chapter 791 The original cast of Journey to the West gathers together! Cannes premiere! Farewell of life and death?

"Due to the impact of Avengers 2, the daily new box office of The Left Ear has dropped to 148 million, and the cinema screening rate is only 0.7%."

"Due to the impact of Avengers 2, the daily new box office of the movie Love and Destiny has dropped to 224 million, and the cinema screening rate is only 1.1%."

"Due to the impact of Avengers 2, the daily new box office of Drug War 2: The King of Drug Lords has dropped to 4270 million, and the cinema screening rate has dropped to 32.1%."

"On the first day of the release of Avengers 2, the cinema screening rate was as high as 65.4%, and the attendance rate was as high as 97%!"

"Due to the impact of Avengers 2, many domestic films have failed on the 12th, leaving behind a lot of regrets."

……

After attending the Cannes Film Festival, when Chen Fei went to read the news again, he was shocked to find that domestic films were in a mess.

Looking around, no matter whether it is a film released during the May Day period or after May Day, none of them can successfully escape the bombardment of "Avengers 2"!
"Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze!"

As soon as he went out, Chen Fei sneezed several times in succession, which immediately attracted the concern of Liu Yifei.

"What's wrong? Do you have a cold? Do you want me to ask my assistant to get you some medicine?"

The medical conditions abroad are not as good as those in China. Here, even if you go to the hospital to get an injection, you have to be mentally prepared.

That syringe doesn't look like it's for human use!

"No, it's not a cold."

Chen Fei shook his head with a complicated expression.

If nothing unexpected happens, the producers in the mainland film industry should be cursing him right now. It's not a cold at all.

"Well, since you don't have a cold, how about we go shopping with mom this afternoon?"

Looking at Miss Liu's expectant expression, Fade Chen finally did not refuse.

But his legs would probably suffer.

The way men and women go shopping is completely different.

The former usually have a strong sense of purpose when they go out, and once they have completed their task, they will go home without hesitation.

The latter is just pure strolling, playing wherever you go, without feeling tired at all!

It was already painful enough to accompany Liu Yifei alone, and now Liu Xiaoli is added. Wouldn't my legs be declared useless after we finish shopping?

……

After walking around for 5 hours straight, when Chen Fei returned to the hotel, he inexplicably felt as if he had completely lost all feeling below the waist.

So, after saying good night to Liu Yifei, he went to sleep and even declined Jia Zhangke's invitation.

At the same time, while he was sleeping, news came out in China that a "top series blockbuster" had been successfully launched!

"At 9:3 a.m. Beijing time, the highly anticipated D fantasy film series "Where is the Road?" held a grand press conference in the bustling center of Beijing to officially announce the project launch!"

"The original cast of Journey to the West is reunited! Liu Xiaolingtong said in an interview with the media: Where is the Way? is not only a tribute to the 86 version of Journey to the West, but also a continuation and development of its spirit."

"The film is divided into three parts, co-produced by China and the United States, and will be distributed worldwide!"

“The participation of Hollywood film giant Paramount Pictures undoubtedly provides strong guarantee for the production of this film;

It is reported that as one of the main investors, Paramount Pictures will be responsible for the production of all special effects shots of the trilogy, including real-life motion capture, real-life CG and other full technical support. This also means that the audience will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a more real and shocking magical world and experience an unprecedented visual feast. "

"Popular idol Wu Yifan attended the press conference and may play the role of Little White Dragon in the movie!"

“Director Han Yan said, ‘Where is the Road’ will lead the audience to re-experience the charm and power of ‘Journey to the West’ with its unique perspective and story; I believe that in the near future, this film will become a highly acclaimed masterpiece, bringing endless surprises and touches to the audience.”

That afternoon, as the news broke, it caused a sensation across the entire Internet!
Before long, related news had completely dominated the headlines and hot searches in the film, television and entertainment industries, which was quite amazing!
Teacher Liu + Teacher Chi + Teacher Ma + Teacher Liu + Wu Yifan... Such a strong cast, coupled with the support of Paramount Pictures, one of the top old Hollywood companies, is simply too attractive.

In addition, Teacher Liu also criticized "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three" at the press conference, which attracted the attention of countless netizens.

This person has a really stubborn temper and is very good at confusing right and wrong. He is really hard to guard against!
When the reporter mentioned "A Chinese Odyssey 3", he said very fiercely that Liu Zhenwei was completely blaspheming "Journey to the West" and even said that there should be only one Sun Wukong in the world...

When these remarks were reported, as expected, they once again made headlines!

……

On the morning of the 14th, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got up early.

At 9 o'clock sharp, the two called Zhu Yawen, who had also gotten up early, and went straight to the largest screening hall at the Cannes Film Festival!
Today will be the day when the movie "The Worst Man in the World" will be released for the first time after filming, which will be the world premiere ceremony of the film.

When the three of them arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find that many media had already arrived in advance. At the same time, some top film critics, directors, actors from all over the world... and all the judges of this Cannes Film Festival were already present!

Looking around, most of the people at the scene are foreigners.

"Fei! Crystal! You're here..."

Seeing Chen Fei and Liu Yifei arrive at the scene, Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Allen and others came over to greet them.

The first two came to Cannes because the films they starred in were shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival, while the latter came to Cannes because the film he directed was shortlisted for the non-competitive screening unit.

In addition, many filmmakers from Japan, South Korea, India, and a large number of European filmmakers were present.

In addition, Hou Xiaoxian, known as the "Light of Taiwanese Films", also came to the scene with Shu Qi, Zhang Zhen, Ruan Jingtian and others.

Although Chen Fei was not familiar with him, he still greeted them in a friendly manner, adhering to the principle of "whoever comes is the guest".

No matter how they fight at home, when they go out, everyone is from the same country and will naturally give each other face.

"Director Jia, why are you still late?"

"Haha, I drank a little too much last night and almost missed the premiere. It's my bad, my bad!"

Hundreds of guests and reporters filed in. Everything in the screening room was ready and the movie began playing as soon as they took their seats.

Chen Fei deliberately greeted several Cannes judges in the same row and made themselves familiar with them.

Although he didn't think this would win them over to vote for him, it could lay the foundation for future public relations.

Today is the first time that the movie "The Worst Person in the World" is released to the public. As an award-winning film directed and acted by Chen Fei, it undoubtedly attracted the curiosity of many people at the scene.

As the film played, everyone suddenly realized that this movie was completely different from what they had expected!
At first, many people thought that this movie was prepared by Chen Fei for "himself", but soon everyone found out that this was not the case.

The film shows the life rhythm of the heroine "An Xi", her confusion, choices and growth in love, career, family, etc. The theme is profound and close to reality, which aroused widespread resonance among the audience. Chen Fei captured the changes and conflicts of "An Xi" in different situations with delicate and smart lens language.

The leading actress Liu Yifei perfectly interpreted the complex role of "An Xi" with her superb and natural acting skills.

The collaboration between the two has made the film reach an extremely high level in both audio-visual presentation and character creation!

In addition to the exquisite camera language and acting skills of the actors, the film also has a very "amazing" way of unfolding, namely the "twelve chapter format".

From the beginning to the end of the film, each chapter has an independent subtitle and storyline.

This narrative method is both novel and creative, allowing the audience to have space to breathe and think while following An Xi's life.

Through the story of the heroine "An Xi", the film reflects the difficulties and challenges faced by contemporary women.

This authenticity and universality are important highlights that Chen Fei specially designed to impress the audience and judges!
As the film screening was coming to an end, Chen Fei went to observe the status of the guests on the scene.

In comparison, female filmmakers seemed more serious and emotional when watching this film than male filmmakers.

Because most women are emotional, it is easy for them to put themselves into the life trajectory of the heroine and move forward along with her.

The starting point of the film may not be so lofty or profound, but it can attract the support and attention of a certain group of women.

This is also the reason why Chen Fei used this movie to help Liu Yifei win awards, because it has unique advantages in the process of competing for the Best Actress award.

"The performance is very good, and the acting skills have improved!"

In the dim theater, Fade Chen leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and gave her a word of encouragement.

"Hehe, it's mainly because you wrote a good script and shot a good movie."

Liu Yifei was very good at taking advantage of Chen Fei's vanity. She would praise him from time to time, which made him feel elated occasionally.

This kind of unfeminine and unpretentious behavior is also one of the reasons why Chen Fei likes her.

On the contrary, if she acted like a queen in their daily interactions, and then acted in various ways and had incomprehensible tempers, Chen Fei would definitely stay away from her in time!
The relationship between men and women is equal and complementary, not based on who is naturally superior to the other.

We are all born by our mothers and raised by our fathers. Why should we become each other's grandson when we are in love?

When the film ended, Sophie Marceau was the first to stand up and gave warm applause!

As a European woman, she was very satisfied with the subject matter of the film, and she was also impressed by the acting skills of the heroine Liu Yifei.

Soon, led by Sophie Marceau, the applause at the premiere became more and more enthusiastic, gradually stacking up to form waves of sound!

"The Worst Person in the World? No! It is right to bravely pursue the life you want. It is just what outsiders think is bad."

"Crystal, you have contributed top-notch acting skills and demonstrated the freedom and independence of women!"

"As expected of a director who has won the Palme d'Or, this film is indeed very capable. Although it may not be at the level of the Palme d'Or, it should not be a problem for him to win Best Director or the Grand Jury Prize."

“Is the Chinese film industry going to have another Cannes Best Actress?”

"I never thought that Director Chen actually understands women so well. He must have had many relationships, right? Otherwise, how could he write such a wonderful story?

But there seems to have never been any news about him being in a relationship. Who is so lucky to be able to walk into his life? "

……

The premiere of "The Worst Person in the World" was a great success!
Although it cannot be said that he won the love of everyone, he successfully amazed more than half of the guests, as well as many moviegoers and fans who came after hearing the news.

The media and reporters hurried back to finish their manuscripts.

If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to see reports about the film in the internal publication of the Cannes International Film Festival by tomorrow morning at the latest.

In the coming period, "The Worst Person in the World" will continue to be screened in major screening halls of the Cannes Film Festival for filmmakers from all over the world to watch.

"It's a really good film. Congratulations in advance to Director Chen for winning the award!"

Wanda also sent a film purchasing delegation during this year's Cannes Film Festival, and Ye Ning, as the general manager and vice president of Wanda Pictures, was the head of the delegation.

"Then I'll borrow Mr. Ye's good words."

Chen Fei responded with a smile, but he had no intention of chatting with Ye Ning any more, because the premiere of "Mountains May Depart" directed by Jia Zhangke would be held in the afternoon, and he had to go there.

However, Ye Ning seemed to have something to say to him, and kept talking about this and that and refused to leave.

Fade Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Boss Ye, is there something wrong?"

"Haha, it still didn't escape Mr. Chen's eyes." After laughing, Ye Ning said seriously: "Director Chen, I actually want to ask, is there any possibility of guaranteed release of Operation Mekong?"

Hearing this, Fade Chen was not too surprised.

It is normal for Wanda to have this idea, because this movie is recognized by the industry as Feiyue Film and Television’s most core top blockbuster this year!
"Guaranteed minimum? How much of a guaranteed minimum does Wanda want to set?" Chen Fei asked with interest.

Ye Ning obviously had a plan in advance, and he said immediately: "We can release it with a guaranteed box office of 20 billion!"

Chen Fei nodded slightly. As expected of Wanda, this courage is absolutely amazing!
“This condition sounds really good.”

"What does Director Chen mean? Is there any hope for our cooperation?" Ye Ning waited for Chen Fei's answer with a smile on his face.

Unfortunately, he did not get the answer he expected.

Chen Fei shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, compared to 20 billion, I actually want to continue to strive for a higher goal."

"Okay." Although Ye Ning felt a little regretful, he did not force it: "Well, in that case, I wish Director Chen a box office break of 30 billion in advance!"

After saying this, he suddenly paused and his expression became complicated.

"Mr. Chen, the cooperation between Wanda and Feiyue Film and Television in the past few years has always been carried out with me as the hub. There shouldn't be anything that makes you dissatisfied, right?"

"Of course not." Chen Fei was a little surprised: "Why did Mr. Ye say that?"

"That's good." Ye Ning smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "In the future, no matter where I go or which path I take, I hope that I can always maintain this friendship with Mr. Chen and it will never deteriorate!"

Hearing this, Fade Chen became even more confused.

what's the situation?
Why do these words sound strange, as if I have an inexplicable feeling that we are about to be separated from each other by life and death?
