It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 795 In the Name of the People!
Chapter 795 In the Name of the People!
The flight back to China from France landed smoothly in the capital.
In order to avoid being surrounded by reporters, Chen Fei suggested that he go out first to attract fire, and then Liu Yifei could leave through the VIP channel with Liu Xiaoli.
However, this proposal was "categorically rejected" by Miss Liu!
"We're going to be blocked sooner or later anyway, so we might as well just go out and let them interview us to their heart's content. This will save us a lot of trouble in the future."
This suggestion does make sense, but for some reason, Chen Fei always has an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get out now."
Liu Yifei released her hand that was holding Liu Xiaoli's arm, took two steps forward with a smile, and put her soft hand into Chen Fei's big hand, interlocking their fingers.
Then, she held her head high and chest out, and strode forward, her face full of excitement, confidence, and a hint of "success".
Chen Fei was dragged forward by her in a daze, and soon saw the media surrounding the airport entrance.
As expected, the two's arrival was instantly greeted with dozens of exclamations and a series of flashes of light.
For a moment, the smile on Miss Liu's face became even brighter.
Liu Xiaoli followed the two of them out, observing the expression on her daughter's face and her many intimate actions with Fade Chen. She couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.
"This girl, is she so eager to claim her sovereignty? Is there anyone who will kidnap someone at the airport?"
With the help of bodyguards, assistants and airport security, the chaotic atmosphere at the scene gradually calmed down.
Of course, interviews are essential.
"Director Chen, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or for the second time. Can you tell us how you feel now?"
"I'm very excited and happy. In fact, I didn't expect that I would get so many surprises in Cannes this time."
"So what new plans do you have next?"
After hearing this question, Chen Fei thought for a moment and finally chose to reveal some news: "If nothing unexpected happens, I may go to Hollywood in the second half of the year to work on a special new film project."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamations at the scene!
"Director Chen, can you please tell me whether the new movie is a commercial film or a drama-type award-winning film?"
Fade Chen smiled and said, "You will know in a while. Walton Pictures will release a new announcement."
Seeing that they couldn't dig out much inside information, the reporters quickly shifted their targets and topics.
"Director Chen, Yifei, I wonder when did you two start to get together?"
“It’s been over a year!”
Liu Yifei raised her head proudly, formally declared her sovereignty, and solidified her position as the queen.
……
"Do you two have any plans for engagement and marriage? When do you plan to have children?"
"Director Chen, will you release any more 'couple-style' TV series next?"
"Yifei, when you were filming the movie "The Worst Person in the World", when you two were interacting on the set, did you put yourself into the real situation?"
"What do you think about the official announcement that caused the Weibo server to crash?"
"How does it feel to be named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival? Your boyfriend gave you a lot of support. Were you moved at the scene? Can you tell us what you were thinking at the time?"
……
Chen Fei discovered that the group of reporters in front of him were not interested in the Palme d'Or, Cannes Best Actress and the like. What they were really interested in were topics about love!
Liu Yifei can be said to be open and honest, not only showing off her affection, but also feeding a large bowl of dog food to hundreds of people at the scene.
It was not until more than half an hour later that Chen Fei finally "escaped" from the airport.
After getting in the car, he asked the driver to take him to the company first, then said goodbye to Liu Yifei and her daughter, and returned to the office alone.
It is already late May and it will be June in a few days.
According to Chen Fei's original plan, he was going to fly to Hollywood in early June to follow up on the preparation and casting work of "Ready Player One".
Therefore, he needs to sort out all the company's existing work in the few days left in May to ensure that no problems will occur after he leaves.
Su Guohai was the first to arrive at the office and took out several invitation letters from his pocket.
"Mr. Chen, this is the invitation letter from the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards. The organizers of these two awards have sincerely invited our company and hope that we can go and participate in the film award selection."
"Haha, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. He has no good intentions."
Chen Fei took the invitation letter without even looking at it, and threw it into the trash can beside him.
What the hell are the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse? He doesn't even want to look at them!
The former focuses on disgusting people, while the latter focuses on shady operations. Both are places that trick people into carrying sedan chairs, and only fools will fall for their tricks.
After throwing away the two invitation letters, Chen Fei briefly learned from Su Guohai about the details of several new projects that the company was currently promoting.
"The second season of "Running Man" has now aired its sixth episode and is expected to officially conclude in July.
The average viewership of CSM50 city network was 4.8%, the average viewership share was 15%, and it ranked first in the same period!
The average ratings of CSM nationwide network were 3.5%, the average audience share was 12%, and it ranked first in the same period! "
Hearing this data, Fade Chen was slightly startled: "Is it so powerful?"
"That's right!" Su Guohai responded excitedly, "As long as 'Run! Brothers' is online, no matter what popular variety show or TV series is on that night, none of them can compare to this variety show."
Fade Chen waved his hand, signaling him to continue.
"The first episode of the first season of Go Fighting will premiere on Dragon TV on June 6 and will be broadcast every Sunday at 14:21, and will then be synchronized to the variety show section of Youku 12 hours later.
The third part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Kunlun Temple", has completed 60% of the set work and is expected to start shooting around September.
In addition, I have already contacted Ying Huang.
The cast of Ip Man 4 has been confirmed. In addition to Zhao Wenzhuo, there will also be Wu Yue, Wu Jianhao, Scott Adkins, Zheng Zeshi, Chen Guokun and others participating. Director Yang also specially invited Yuan Heping to serve as the action director..."
Yuan Heping?
The moment he heard the name, Fade Chen frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.
Although he is not very good at directing or making movies, he is a recognized master in the field of action guidance. With his help, I believe the fighting scenes in "Ip Man 4" will be very exciting.
Su Guohai continued to report: "Regarding the project 'Chasing the Dragon', which is jointly produced by Golden Harvest and Feiyue Films, Mr. Huo and I have finally decided on the combination of Andy Lau and Leung Ka Fai after auditioning and selection. They will play the roles of 'Lei Luo' and 'Wu Shihao' respectively."
Liu Dehua? Liang Jiahui?
When he heard these two names, Fade Chen couldn't help but feel a strong sense of anticipation.
The two veteran movie kings are going to show off their acting skills again, and just thinking about it makes me excited. I believe that after the movie is released, it will definitely attract great attention!
"Well, okay, let's arrange it this way."
After receiving Chen Fei's approval, a smile suddenly appeared on Su Guohai's face.
But then he added: "The only problem now is that the popularity and fans' expectations for the movie Sicario are not very high.
The actress Liu Shishi's previous films had a very bad reputation, and Xie Miao was also the first male lead in a film after many years, which led to many negative comments from the outside world. "
"Don't worry about these, just carry out the promotion step by step, and everything will be solved naturally after the movie is released."
In some cases, word of mouth about a film is the key to determining its box office success.
There may be many people who are not optimistic about the movie "Sicario" at the moment, but when the film is released, Chen Fei believes that many people will change their minds.
As word of mouth continues to grow, the screening rate in theaters will naturally increase, and the box office will then steadily increase.
If we can encounter some "pig teammates" during this period, then this upward trend will surely usher in another wave of pull-ups!
"Ok, I see."
Su Guohai responded, looking thoughtful.
……
At noon, a lot of news about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei's return to China appeared on the Internet.
Including the relevant content of the two people's interview at the airport, all of them were uploaded to the Internet, causing heated discussions inside and outside the circle.
And the most important thing is that Liu Yifei's behavior of "claiming sovereignty" is still continuing!
After returning home, the first thing she did was to place the Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actress trophies on the table. Then she stood in the middle and took a photo with the two trophies.
When she posted on Weibo, she captioned: "Showing off the two birthday gifts my boyfriend sent me a long time ago."
After the official announcement, Miss Liu became much bolder and even added the tag @陈飞 after the caption.
This behavior undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention from people in the circle and fans, and many comments expressing envy appeared in the comment area. Chen Fei smiled dotingly and replied: "Happy birthday to Princess Sissi in advance!"
As soon as his comment came out, there was another round of lively replies:
"So sweet! So sickening!"
"I'm full of this bowl of dog food!"
"Director Chen, when are you going to Hollywood? I wish your new film project will be a big hit in advance!"
While many people in the industry are paying attention to the two people's public "sweetness", they have also begun to inquire about the news about the new film project that Chen Fei revealed at the airport.
However, for this kind of Hollywood film project, the mainland will not receive any information at all before it is officially announced.
Helplessly, everyone could only sigh and give up.
……
In the morning, after Su Guohai finished his report, in the afternoon, Jiang Xueruo and Zhong Lifang came to Chen Fei's office one after another.
The former is currently in charge of two TV drama projects, "Ode to Joy" and "The Disguiser", and is preparing to develop new TV drama projects.
The latter is focusing on adapting the novel "Zhu Xian".
After this period of hard work, the two have made considerable progress in their projects.
"Ode to Joy will be officially broadcast on Dragon TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV at the end of next month, which is on the 27th. We have made corresponding promotions and publicity for the summer vacation, and the response has been very good.
The following drama, The Disguiser, will premiere on Mango TV and Youku on August 8, following Ode to Joy..."
After introducing the progress of the two TV drama projects currently underway, Jiang Xue placed the pile of documents she brought with her in front of Chen Fei.
"This is a new TV drama project that I have selected and will be officially launched soon. You can take a look at it."
"it is good."
Chen Fei nodded slightly and looked at them one by one.
Ranked at the top is the second part of the "Go Go Squid!" series, which still features the original cast. Given the high quality of the first part, the script content of this second part is not bad either.
Next is the crime-themed web drama of the same name adapted from the novel "The Undocumented Crime", which tells the story of policeman Yan Liang's hard work in tracking down the real culprit of the "Snowman" serial murder case amidst the fog.
Subsequently, there was another costume drama adapted from the novel "11 Secret Agents Princess", which tells the story of Chu Qiao, a maverick female slave, and her stories of protection, betrayal, faith and love in the process of helping to establish a new regime during the turbulent times of the Western Wei Dynasty.
After reading three scripts in succession, Fade Chen rubbed his red eyes and continued to look at the fourth one.
"'Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky'?"
After glancing at the title of the script, he began to read the contents again.
The story is based on the relationship and entrepreneurial story of Chen Jianghe and his wife Luo Yuzhu, telling the tortuous yet glorious journey of Yiwu's reform and development over the past 30 years. It can be regarded as an inspirational business war script with urban themes.
There is quite a large audience for this type of show, and the script is very well written. As long as we can find suitable actors, the ratings will definitely be good.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost all of these scripts are masterpieces. I think Jiang Xueruo has put in a lot of effort during this period of time.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xuerou, who was standing aside, suddenly reminded him: "Boss Chen, these four scripts are all good. I can handle them and I am confident that I can shoot them well.
But I really had no confidence in this last script, and I didn’t even dare to submit it for review! ”
"Huh? Is it that exaggerated?"
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, closed the script of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", and looked at the last project book.
However, when he saw the five big words "In the Name of People", he was stunned on the spot!
No wonder! No wonder Jiang Xueruo didn't even dare to submit it for review. There are too many taboos in this name!
Fade Chen took a deep breath, opened the script and read it carefully.
Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, Sha Ruijin, Lu Yike, Zhao Donglai, Zhao Ruilong...
These names are so familiar!
After spending more than half an hour reading the script, Fade Chen turned to look at Jiang Xuerou and asked, "Who wrote this script? When did our scriptwriting department have such a talented person?"
"It wasn't written by someone in our screenwriting department." Jiang Xuerou explained, "The creator of this script is Mr. Zhou Mei."
When this name was mentioned, a figure instantly appeared in Chen Fei's mind: "Is it Zhou Mei, who is known as the 'first person in political novels'?"
"Yes, that's him."
Jiang Xuerou continued to add: "According to Mr. Zhou, this script was originally invited to him by the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center, hoping that he could create an anti-corruption TV script that can reflect social reality.
But now that the script has been written, I can’t find a suitable investor. I even submitted the script for review many times, but it was rejected every time.
Helplessly, he had to find me, and wanted to try his luck with us to see if he could get enough investment and whether there was a chance to successfully pass the script without large-scale revisions. "
Hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The script was too bold. Even a clean-cut man like him felt terrified just looking at it, not to mention other companies.
If this were shown to Wang Zhonglei, it might scare him so much that his blood pressure would soar!
However, if this drama can be filmed and gets enough promotional resources, it will definitely become a phenomenal hit!
Chen Fei can guarantee this, after all, he is very familiar with this drama.
Investment and everything are easy to talk about. The project book states that it is 5000 million, so it will not be a problem for Feiyue Films even if it is an exclusive production.
But the current situation is that Feiyue Film and Television alone cannot support this project at all, and it must attract allies with sufficient weight.
And the most important thing is that getting the script approved is also a big problem.
After all, this script is really a bit scary. Without the order from the higher-ups, who would dare to make it public?
More than ten minutes later, Fade Chen raised his head and looked at Jiang Xuerou again: "Please reply to Mr. Zhou Mei for me and tell him that Feiyue Films wants this script. I will find a way to solve the problem of investment and approval."
He planned to look for Tong Gang, perhaps the second-in-command of the General Administration would have some good suggestions.
If worst comes to worst, we can still get a few more official endorsements. This is not a difficult thing for Feiyue Film and Television.
Although the process would be somewhat complicated and tortuous, Chen Fei felt that the script was worth it.
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Jiang Xue rubbed her lips and agreed, then turned and left the office.
Zhong Lifang, who had been waiting outside the door early, raised her eyebrows when she saw Jiang Xue coming out with a stack of project documents.
"Sure enough, the establishment of this TV series project is much more reliable than that of a movie."
She muttered softly, said hello to Jiang Xueruo, and then walked straight into Chen Fei's office.
"Has the script for Zhu Xian been completed?"
As soon as he saw Zhong Lifang coming in, Fade Chen thought of the new fantasy film project she mentioned a few months ago.
"Yeah, I'm done."
Zhong Lifang placed the project book and script that she had prepared long ago in front of Chen Fei and asked him to take a look.
Flipping open the script and reading the contents, Fade Chen asked, "How are you going to carry out this project?"
Zhong Lifang is also a person who will make a big splash if she does make a move!
After hearing Chen Fei's question, she said directly: "I plan to invite Liu Yifei to play 'Lu Xueqi', Zhao Liying to play 'Bi Yao', and as for 'Zhang Xiaofan'..."
The office suddenly became quiet. Chen Fei subconsciously raised his head and saw Zhong Lifang staring at him with anticipation in her eyes!
"You want me to play Zhang Xiaofan?"
"Is it okay?" Zhong Lifang's face was full of expectation.
Fade Chen shook his head slowly: "I don't have time. I have a new movie project waiting for me to do it."
Zhong Lifang quickly added: "Zhu Xian can wait! There's no rush! The script for this project has just been finalized, and it will take at least half a year to prepare!"
Chen Fei: "..."
