It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 796: One Movie, One City! Breaking 1 Billion Again!
Chapter 796: One Movie, One City! Breaking 20 Billion Again!
In the end, Chen Fei did not agree to Zhong Lifang's request. Although the "Zhu Xian" project was indeed quite good, it was actually just a love movie disguised as a fantasy movie.
To be honest, he actually looks down on this kind of subject matter.
Even for Liu Yifei, this kind of subject matter is not very suitable for her now.
However, Chen Fei did not refuse immediately. After all, there was still a long time before the film project was approved, so he could prepare and select the actors at the same time.
If we really can’t find a suitable actor later, it won’t be too late to discuss it then.
After seeing Zhong Lifang off, Chen Fei dealt with a few email messages, then picked up the "In the Name of People" project book and went straight to the General Administration.
He is now very concerned about this script and is looking forward to the day when the film is produced.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the script must be approved first.
He had been to Tong Gang's office many times, so this time he was naturally familiar with the route and arrived at his destination without any obstruction.
"Director Tong, I am here to trouble you again."
As soon as he entered the room, Fade Chen handed the project book to Tong Gang with a smile and looked at him with expectant eyes.
"I won't be polite with you. There is a paper cup on the table. Go and pour yourself some water."
Tong Gang waved his hand casually without even raising his head, his eyes fixed on the script of In the Name of People.
Just as Chen Fei expected, at first, Tong Gang read the script with great interest, but as he read on, his brows began to furrow and his demeanor became more serious.
More than half an hour later, he closed the script and the first thing he said was, "This script is not simple!"
Fade Chen smiled softly and said, "If it were simple, I wouldn't have come to you in person."
Tong Gang muttered to himself: "Fighting corruption and promoting integrity are not a problem, but the identity of the "ultimate tiger" behind the scenes is a bit beyond the scope!"
Before coming here, Chen Fei made some special efforts to find out more.
Before the appearance of In the Name of People, the "maximum standard" of anti-corruption dramas was that villains could not be written at the provincial level.
But now, this script has a national level existence, which means that the risks are destined to be extremely high!
After thinking for a while, Tong Gang asked, "Isn't this TV series produced exclusively by your company?"
"Of course not." Chen Fei shook his head firmly: "Feiyue Film and Television can't bear such a heavy burden. If the script can pass the review, we have to invite a few more suitable producers."
Tong Gang immediately laughed: "Yes, your fearlessness has been eliminated a lot, and your awareness has also improved a lot."
"You're too kind." Chen Fei smiled modestly.
He is not stupid. He has a scale in his mind to judge who he can offend to death, who he should keep his distance from, and who he should be friends with.
"How about this." Tong Gang pondered for a moment and suggested: "Leave this script with me first. I can ask Director Zhang for you to see if he can help communicate with the department.
Of course, don't rest on your side either. Don't you have a good relationship with Golden Shield? Try to get them involved as well. It would be safer if you find a few more companies."
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Fei felt a little happy. As long as Tong Gang didn't reject it outright, it meant that there was a great chance that the script would pass the review.
However, he was not planning to look for Golden Shield immediately.
The success of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has allowed the industry to see what a true main theme movie is!
If "Operation Mekong" can continue to be a great success, Feiyue Film and Television's advantages in mainstream film and television dramas will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
By then, if we propose to cooperate on "In the Name of People", I think the success rate will be greatly improved!
Tong Gang highly agrees with his idea:
"With your current achievements, you will undoubtedly enjoy corresponding privileges. If Operation Mekong is successful, more mainstream movies will surely come to you. This is a great thing!"
"Thank you Director Tong for your advice."
"Okay, if you have nothing else, go ahead. I have a meeting to attend later."
"it is good."
After responding, Fade Chen walked out the door and, accompanied by Secretary Tong Gang, headed towards the elevator.
However, just as he got on the elevator and was about to close the door, his eyes subconsciously swept to the other corner and saw Brother Chen Kai and his wife Chen Hong walking towards this side.
The two seemed to have encountered some happy event, and there were faint smiles on their faces.
The elevator door just closed and fell down.
Fade Chen turned to look at Tong Gang's secretary and asked curiously, "Why is Director Chen Kai here too?"
"It seems he's here for his new film project."
"Oh I got it……"
Chen Fei suddenly remembered some old things.
In June of 10, because Chen Kai was going to shoot "The Great Tang Ghost Banquet of Monk Kūkai", the Xiangyang Tang City Film and Television Base project was officially launched.
Now, after five years of construction, it is finally completed.
This also means that Brother Chen Kai’s new project can officially start!
The great poet Chen's "one movie, one city" operation is well-known in the industry, but I don't know if he will continue to cause some messy things this time.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was already the 27th.
After finishing his morning work, Fade Chen drove back home, picked up Miss Liu who had already washed and dressed up, and went to the cinema together.
Just today, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass" produced by Disney Pictures officially landed in mainland theaters.
Miss Liu liked this magical adventure movie very much and wanted Chen Fei to go watch it with her.
It just so happened that one of the leading actors in this movie was Johnny Depp, and Chen Fei was quite curious about him, so he accepted Liu Yifei's invitation.
The two came to the cinema, bought movie tickets, popcorn, and carbonated drinks like an ordinary couple, and then walked into the theater in a low-key manner.
Sitting in the back row and putting on 3D glasses, Liu Yifei was quickly immersed in the movie story.
The story of this movie is actually very simple. It tells the story of Captain Alice who was summoned back to Wonderland, stole the "Time-Travel Magic Ball" in order to save her friend the "Mad Hatter", and embarked on an adventure story about love and searching.
The overall character relationships and story outline are closely connected to the first part. Although it is a new story, it does not deviate from the theme of truth, goodness, beauty and a happy ending.
The story revolves around Alice's courage to overcome all kinds of adversities in the world through the looking glass with the intention of helping the Mad Hatter find his family. The warm and touching scenes are full of energy and laughter.
In the end, the Mad Hatter and his family are successfully reunited, Mr. Time is safe and sound, and the Red Queen has also come to terms with her feelings... It's a perfect ending for a fairy tale.
Disney is still very smart.
In order to cater to the Chinese market, Alice appeared in ancient costume in the second part, and there were even product placements for domestic products at the end of the film.
It has to be said that Disney has put a lot of effort into the domestic market.
Liu Yifei enjoyed watching the movie very much, especially when she came across touching scenes, she was moved to tears just like other fans around her.
On the other hand, Chen Fei was a little disappointed.
Johnny Depp seems to have never been able to get rid of the identity of "Captain". When playing the role of "Mad Hatter", he completely relied on the template of "Captain" to perform.
Crazy, unconventional, unique...
After watching the movie, Liu Yifei was satisfied, but Chen Fei questioned Depp's acting skills.
Can such a person really play the role of "Ben-Hur"?
I don’t know what Megan Ellison was thinking. Why did she choose him? Is it just because he is famous enough?
I have to say, this big data is really scary!
……
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by busy work, May has come to the last day.
This morning, a large amount of entertainment news appeared on the Internet, which was dizzying!
"Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass, a Hollywood blockbuster produced exclusively by Disney, was released in domestic theaters for three days and grossed 2 million yuan."
"The action and crime film "Drug War 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest, starring Andy Lau, Tim Koo, Michael Miu and others, has been released for 30 days and the total box office has been reported to be 13.23 billion! The network reputation score is as high as 9.0!" "The superhero science fiction blockbuster "Avengers 2", produced by Marvel and directed by Chen Fei, starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and others, has been released for 18 days and the total box office has been reported to be 20.63 billion! The daily new box office is still maintained at around 3500 million!"
"The second film to break 2015 billion yuan in box office in 20, Avengers 2, made a stunning debut! Director Chen Fei has achieved another success!"
"Reprinted from Xiangjiang Entertainment News, the action/crime film "Chasing the Dragon" jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest has officially announced the starring lineup this morning. Andy Lau, Leung Ka Fai, Kent Cheng, and Tony Leung will star in the film!"
One after another, hot searches have hit the headlines of major entertainment news websites, giving a feeling of a hundred flowers blooming and competing for beauty.
However, Chen Fei's eyes were fixed on Chen Jingfei's series of operations.
After the failure of "The Legend of White Ghost: The Desperate Escape", he was silent for more than a month, but he appeared in the film and television industry again.
However, this time he did not appear as an investor, but as Yang Caiyu's agent, and recommended the latter to many film and television companies.
In another month, Yang Caiyu will officially graduate, and by then, it will be the time for her to officially enter the film and television industry.
It was obvious that Chen Jingfei was paving the way for her in advance.
Everyone in the industry can see clearly that he is preparing to create another "Little Liu Yifei".
Even the contents of the press releases issued by major media outlets were full of discussion. How long will it take Yang Caiyu to reach the level that Liu Yifei achieved when she just graduated?
However, whether inside or outside the circle, everyone holds a pessimistic attitude.
Want to create another Liu Yifei? How easy is that?
……
"Let's go, it's time for us to set off!"
While Chen Fei was paying attention to the online news, the bedroom door opened and Miss Liu, who was wearing a high ponytail and looked youthful and beautiful, walked out.
Their destination today is the Huairou Film and Television Base in the capital.
The filming location of "The Great Wall" has been moved from Qingdao to the capital, and it has been open to visitors recently. In addition, Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, and Jing Tian strongly invited them to go there today.
The flight to Los Angeles has been applied for and will be tomorrow afternoon.
Therefore, this visit to the set of "The Great Wall" can be regarded as Chen Fei's last trip in China.
In the car, the two talked about the follow-up arrangements for the movie "The Worst People in the World".
"You are the producer and leading actress of this film. The promotion will mainly depend on you. I have asked Su Guohai to rent a promotion booth at the Magic City Film Festival. You will lead the team there..."
"Yeah, okay, I understand."
Liu Yifei nodded as she listened to Chen Fei's words, keeping everything he said firmly in mind.
After arriving at the Huairou Film and Television Base, led by Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo, the two of them continued all the way to the filming site of the movie "The Great Wall".
At this time, the crew was in the process of filming, many actors were shooting on the spot, and there were many people watching on the sidelines.
The arrival of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei caused quite a stir at the scene.
Zhang Yimou waved towards this side, but did not call for a stop directly. Instead, he continued filming.
"Director Chen, Yifei, why are you two here?"
Liu Dehua and Zhang Hanyu happened to have no scenes to shoot at the moment, so they came forward first.
The other members of the crew also turned their heads, but they were tactful enough not to come over, and just looked at this side with envy.
"We came to visit the set."
Chen Fei responded while looking at the crew filming on the scene.
As director Zhang Yimou shouted "Action", several troops on the city wall quickly took action.
They wore armor of different styles and colors, held different weapons and shields, and marched in an orderly manner according to the careful instructions of the crew dispatchers.
Arrows, spears, and various weapons drew graceful arcs in the air and then fell under the city wall, as if an ancient war was being staged.
Of course, there is definitely no "enemy" under the city wall at this moment, only a huge green screen is laid below.
Because this movie tells the story of the battle between the Great Wall guards and the Taotie army, the ferocious "Taotie army" attacking state will be rendered in the green screen location in the later stage.
However, during this tense and orderly battle preparation, Chen Fei was attracted by the sound of war drums nearby.
He turned his head curiously and saw a group of slim and gorgeous female soldiers beating drums to cheer them on.
Their drumming movements were soft and graceful, even with a hint of seduction, as if they were conveying some mysterious commands with the sound of the drums.
This scene surprised Chen Fei very much.
He suddenly began to doubt whether they were really fighting a war.
Who would beat drums in such a fancy way on the battlefield? This was totally different from the majestic image of a drummer on the battlefield that he had imagined.
But on second thought, this is a movie after all. A reasonable plot is secondary, and the key is that the pictures are attractive enough.
"Fade Chen, look! Matt Damon is here!"
Liu Yifei excitedly shook Chen Fei's arm and pointed to a place above the Great Wall.
Chen Fei moved his gaze and looked over, and couldn't help but laugh.
Compared to the Great Wall guards wearing colorful armor, the mercenary played by Matt is much more miserable. He is dressed in tattered clothes and has an untidy beard, just like a beggar.
After standing on the sidelines and watching for more than ten minutes, until the filming of this scene was finished, Chen Fei brought Liu Yifei closer.
"Here I am." Zhang Yimou had a kind smile on his face.
"Well, let's come over to check on him." Fade Chen nodded and turned his gaze to the location of the surveillance camera.
Zhang Yimou introduced him cheerfully: "You can come and have a look. This ALEXA-56 camera is really good. The pictures it takes are very high-definition. When the pictures are enlarged, even human hair can be clearly seen..."
Chen Fei came over curiously and listened to Zhang Yimou talk about the special features of this camera.
Next time when filming "Ready Player One", Chen Fei also plans to use this camera, so this is a chance to familiarize himself with it in advance.
At this moment, Jing Tian, wearing blue armor, and Matt Damon, holding a bow and arrow, just walked down from the city wall.
"Sissi!"
"Tian Tian!"
As soon as the two girls met, they hugged each other and then ran aside to whisper.
Matt Damon came over and greeted Chen Fei first, then turned around and went to find the makeup artist to touch up his makeup.
Although the two people's visit caused quite a stir in the crew, it did not delay the filming progress of the movie.
After a break of more than ten minutes, the filming continued.
However, looking at the following filming content, Chen Fei was speechless again.
A group of female soldiers had ropes tied around their waists and jumped down from the city wall one after another like dumplings, holding spears in their hands and making stabbing-like movements.
When seeing this scene, the words "making a nest" even popped up in Chen Fei's mind.
I don't know what the screenwriter was thinking. Instead of using the Great Wall as a good defensive place, he actually let a group of female soldiers jump under the wall to launch a suicide attack. Isn't this crazy?
Chen Fei obviously noticed that Zhang Yimou's brows also frowned.
However, the producer from Universal Pictures was very satisfied with this scene and nodded from time to time, as if the scene in front of him met his requirements very well.
Seeing this, Chen Fei secretly felt lucky that he had resisted La Peikang's "sugar-coated bullet" and sternly rejected the invitation to be the director of "The Great Wall".
Otherwise, the one who would be having a headache sitting here today would not just be Zhang Yimou, but also Chen Fei!
