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

Chapter 797: Bai Ri's... possible comeback? How to stop it? How to stop it?
After leaving the crew of "The Great Wall", with extremely complicated feelings, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei started to rush to the next party.

In the car, Miss Liu scratched her head and asked tentatively: "Chen Fei, did you understand what the movie "The Great Wall" tells?"

Shaking his head, Fade Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Let's wait until the film comes out. I can't make any conclusions now."

The more he watched the movie, the more confused he became, and he even started to feel dizzy at the end.

Obviously every actor is trying hard to play his or her role well, but for some reason, when they are finally put together it's like a hodgepodge.

This hodgepodge may look delicious at first glance, but if you take a closer look and smell it, you’ll find that it’s really unappetizing!
But now it has come to this point, I have to cook this meal even if I don’t want to, I can’t stop at all.

As for Zhang Yimou, the chef, he will probably be scolded by fans to the point of becoming autistic after "serving the dishes". I wonder if he is ready for it?

……

The car was still on the road and news had already spread online.

"It is reported that this morning, Chen Fei and his girlfriend Liu Yifei appeared at the filming site of the movie "The Great Wall" to visit and communicate. Zhang Yimou had a good chat with the two and shared many film shooting experiences with each other,"

This piece of news did not attract much attention, because the attention of the media in the industry and most filmmakers was focused on a new announcement released by Alibaba Pictures.

"The romantic film "The Ferryman", which is controlled and invested by Alibaba Pictures, co-produced by Zedong Pictures, supervised by director Wang Jiawei, and directed by the original author Zhang Jiajia, officially announced the list of leading actors today."

"The cast of the movie "The Ferryman" is as follows: Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yang Ying, Eason Chan, Zhang Rongrong, Du Juan, Lynn Hung, Da Peng, Li Yuchun, Lu Han..."

"It is reported that the film "The Ferryman" will start a two-month script study and preparation phase, and the film will officially start shooting in late July."

"Yang Ying, one of the four most popular young actresses in mainland China, will partner with two movie kings, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro, to showcase her 'movie queen'-level acting skills!"

“The Ferryman may appear at next year’s Berlin International Film Festival, so stay tuned!”

Looking at the news, Chen Fei felt inexplicably emotional.

In order to promote Yang Ying, the leader has put a lot of effort into it, and he even managed to squeeze his girlfriend into such a cast as the female lead!
You know, if you wanted to partner with two movie kings, Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro, you had to at least be a big star at the level of Zhang Ziyi or Zhou Xun.

But what about Yang Ying? How can she compare with big actresses like Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun?

Is it just because of her acting skills that she has to use eye drops even when she is crying?

Chen Fei was immediately amused.

At the same time, he can also say with certainty that this "The Ferryman" will definitely not be a success!
With King of Sunglasses as producer + new director + an actress of Yang Ying's level, no matter how you look at it, it gives off a very unreliable feeling.

……

The business car drove forward and finally stopped in front of a private restaurant.

After getting off the car, led by the hotel staff, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei went straight to the private room on the second floor.

The soundproofing effect of the box is very good. There is no sound outside the door, but there is a lot of noise inside!
The purpose of today's party is actually very simple, which is to celebrate the success of the movie "The Worst Person in the World" in winning the award in Cannes, and also to congratulate Liu Yifei for winning the Cannes Best Actress Award.

The box was filled with familiar faces, all of whom had made cameo appearances in the movie.

"Sissi! Come on! Sit next to me!"

Shu Chang shouted carelessly and directly took Liu Yifei away from Chen Fei.

Zhou Xun quickly came over and asked anxiously, "Where's the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress trophy? Don't be so stingy! Take it out and show it to us!"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Liying and Tang Yan both came over and went to see the trophy with great interest.

Chen Fei naturally did not join in the fun. Instead, he sat between Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, picked up his laptop and started ordering food.

After finishing it quickly, Chen Fei's eyes swept from Zhu Yawen and finally fell on Luo Jin.

"What are you doing lately? Why can't I see any updates about you online?"

Hearing this, Luo Jin smiled and explained, "After playing the cameo role, I have been in contact with a Sino-Indian co-production. I just signed the contract yesterday, and it will probably be announced to the public soon."

A Sino-Indian co-production?
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought of the "China-India Film Cooperation and Exchange News Briefing" supported by the authorities after "Dangal" was removed from domestic theaters some time ago.

Judging from the current situation, the two countries need to deepen cooperation!

He subconsciously asked, "Is it a mission?"

Luo Jin nodded: "Yes, China Film Group is in charge, the movie is called "The Journey to the West", Huang Xiaoming is the male lead, and I am the second male lead after him."

"What? Huang Xiaoming plays Xuanzang?" Chen Fei and Zhu Yawen raised their voices in unison.

Both of them had expressions of deep surprise. After all, the leader seemed to have taken several steps down the "greasy" path, but now he was asked to play the role of an enlightened monk.

Just thinking about it, the scene is a bit unbearable to watch!
"That's right." Luo Jin nodded again and added, "In addition to this "The Journey to the West", I heard that China Film Group and India have also invested in a movie called "Kung Fu Yoga" and have already approached Brother Chen Long."

Zhu Yawen was quite surprised and said, "Big brother is quite productive! He just finished filming "Dragon Blade" in the first half of the year, and he's already taking on a new drama?"

Luo Jin shrugged and didn't say much.

As people in the industry, we all understand why Big Brother works so hard. If it weren't for his son, Big Brother would have announced his retirement by now.

“He’s 61 years old, and he’s still working so hard!”

Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh. After being busy for most of his life, he ended up in such a situation. It was really touching.

"Do you think there is any hope for his son to make a comeback?"

This sudden question confused Chen Fei.

Logically speaking, since the official document has already been issued from above, there is definitely no hope.

However, the successful approval of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" made Chen Fei a little confused. Who knows what the bureau is thinking? All he can do now is to wait and see.

The steaming delicious food was soon served on the table. As usual, after taking a lot of photos, everyone started to enjoy the food.

After dinner, Liu Yifei directed several people to stand together, took a group photo, and posted it directly on Weibo.

As expected, after a while, there was another series of replies from below!
"Princess Sissi, why don't you give the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress trophy to the fans for a lottery? How about letting us appreciate it too?"

"Well! You guys are eating so well, why didn't you call me?"

"Haha, I successfully touched the Cannes Best Actress trophy today. Maybe I will have the opportunity to go to Cannes and win a Best Actress trophy in the future."

"Sister Xun, how come you are dreaming in broad daylight?"

"What's there to brag about? It's just a Best Actress award, right? When my goddess Baby finishes filming The Ferryman, I'll bring you another Best Actress award to open your eyes!"

……

As time officially turns to June, the Chinese-language film market has been completely dominated by Hollywood imported films.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is far ahead of the rest, with the box office revenue heading straight for 2 billion, which is extremely strong!
"Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass" also received a lot of attention, with daily box office remaining at around 2 million.

With "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Warcraft" lurking behind, they are putting tremendous pressure on domestic films.

Looking back at the domestic films, except for the "Drug War 2: The King of Drug Lords", none of the others can compete at all, and all of them were bullied miserably.

In the eyes of industry insiders, the movie market in June is actually not worth paying attention to, because this period is destined to be a killing time for Hollywood blockbusters. If domestic films want to fight back, they will probably have to wait until after the summer vacation.

"Have you packed your luggage? Did you forget to bring anything or leave anything behind? Make sure you have your passport, ID card, and credit card ready. There will be no mobile payment over there, so you have to take care of yourself..."

In the villa, Liu Yifei acted like a wife who was sending her husband on a long journey, arranging everything for him down to the smallest detail.

Chen Fei watched from the side, nodded from time to time, and felt warm in his heart.

This was the first time in his life that he enjoyed this feeling, and the experience was great!

After everything was packed up, Liu Yifei stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and picked up the mobile phone on the table beside her.

"It's still early before the plane takes off. It's almost noon. I'll call the hotel and ask them to send two meals to us. You can eat before you leave, okay?"

Fade Chen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After listening to Liu Yifei agreeing on the time for food delivery, the next second after hanging up the phone, Chen Fei stood up, picked her up, and ran straight to the bedroom.

"Huh? What are you doing in broad daylight?"

"What happened during the day?" Fade Chen threw her onto the bed without giving any explanation, and pounced on her with a wicked smile: "Let's exercise first, and then we can continue to replenish our energy when the food is delivered."

……

Although it is difficult to apply for a private jet route, once it is approved, for Chen Fei, this trip will be pure enjoyment.

In the evening, after getting on the plane, he simply pulled open the quilt, crawled in and fell into a deep sleep.

But looking at the outside world, it was very lively at this moment.

Just yesterday, Alibaba Pictures officially announced the cast of "The Ferryman", and today, Emperor Entertainment Group officially announced the main creative team of "Ip Man 4".

"The fourth (final) film in the action-drama series "Ip Man", jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Emperor Entertainment Group, officially announced its cast this afternoon."

"The director of Ip Man 4 is still Yip Wai-hsin, and the cast members are Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Yue, Wu Jianhao, Scott Adkins, and Chen Guokun..."

"It is reported that Ip Man 4 will invite action director Yuan Heping to serve as the action director."

"After seven years, the Ip Man series has finally reached its final chapter. Although there have been many twists and turns, the quality, box office and reputation of the film remain high, making it a model of action movies!"

"Ip Man rushed to the United States. Facing repeated questioning and provocations from American military officers against Chinese Americans and Chinese Kung Fu, as well as increasingly rampant ethnic discrimination and oppression, he chose to stand up and fight to the death. He will use authentic Wing Chun to prove to the world the power of Chinese Kung Fu! Stay tuned!"

As the related press releases of "Ip Man 4" appeared on major domestic entertainment news portals in a screen-sweeping manner, it was not surprising that it once again sparked heated discussions among mainland netizens.

In particular, the "Zhao Zhen dispute" incident was once again brought up by nosy netizens.

"I remember that Zhen Zixuan announced that he would join Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2. The film is almost finished, right? It should be released next year, right?"

"Wow! So there's something exciting to watch, right? Zhao Wenzhuo versus Zhen Zixuan, Ip Man 4 versus Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2. Who will lose more miserably?"

"From the beginning to the end, it seems that Zhen Zixuan has never won?"

"It would be strange if Zhen Zixuan could win. Look at the movies he made over the years. Each one is worse than the last. I'm so tired of scolding him."

"I'm really confused. What was he thinking at the time? How could he offend Emperor Entertainment Group and Feiyue Films to such an extent? They would rather remake the film than give him a chance. They are mortal enemies!"

At this time, in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2", Zhen Zixuan was also paying attention to the news on the Internet.

When he saw that "Ip Man 4" was announced and the leading role was still Zhao Wenzhuo, he regretted it so much!

If I had known this earlier, why did I do it in the first place?
If he can always stand firmly on Chen Fei's side and use the influence of "Ip Man 4", even if he makes more bad movies, there will always be fans supporting him.

But now, the "Ip Man" series has nothing to do with him anymore, and even the "Journey to the West" crew kicked him out.

If Yuan Heping hadn't been kind enough to "take him in", he would probably have become a stray dog ​​and be hated by everyone both in Hong Kong and on the mainland!
"I will never give up. This Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 is my last hope. With its help, I will surely be able to make a comeback!"

Zhen Zixuan clenched his fists and swore secretly.

……

The film industry is extremely lively, but the variety show and TV drama circles are not much behind.

As "Running Man" is on the air, Mango TV's popular variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad 3" has announced its guest list.

What shocked people in the industry and netizens outside the industry was that Mango TV actually brought together Liu Ye and Hu Jun, a screen duo, and both of them will bring their sons to record the variety show.

There are many people in the circle who like to watch the show, and everyone is wondering if it will be another situation where dry wood meets raging fire when these two people meet again?
On the other hand, netizens are more bold!

Seeing this year's guest lineup, some people immediately said: This is a father taking his child to meet another "father", of course, it could also be a "mom".

This comment received a very high number of likes.

Mango TV did not control the situation, but instead added fuel to the fire by releasing a lot of photos and videos of the two of them participating in interviews together, which was obviously an attempt to hype up the situation.

However, the current variety show industry is no longer dominated by Mango TV.

While "Running Man" was being broadcast in full swing, Youku immediately announced the relevant arrangements and notices about "Extreme Challenge".

"The large-scale inspirational experience reality show "Extreme Challenge" is mainly controlled by Youku, invested by Feiyue Film and Guangguang, directed by Yan Min, and participated in by Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Huang Xiaoming, Sha Yi, Yu Hewei, and Zhang Yixing as permanent guests. It will be officially launched on the 14th of this month. Please look forward to it!"

Although many viewers questioned the guest lineup, saying that what's the fun of six men getting together? It must be boring...

However, considering that it is a variety show controlled by Youku, with Feiyue Films and Guangguang participating in the investment, and the copyright was purchased from South Korea, it may have its own unique charm.

Many netizens even analyzed that: "It is possible that "Go Fighting" can be on par with "Running Man" and "Where Are We Going, Dad?", or even stand on a three-legged tripod, or even surpass them!"

Netizens in Shanghai have released a large number of on-site Reuters photos of the first episode of the first season of "Extreme Challenge" and various offline promotional advertisements on the Internet.

Because the first episode of this variety show was recorded in Shanghai, the main promotional location is also in Shanghai.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the cooperation of local people in Shanghai, various offline promotional advertisements can simply be described as "crazy"!

Radio, buses, TV stations, bus stops, subways, TV stations... almost anywhere you can put a poster, you can see promotional posters for this variety show.

This also made Mango TV start to worry. If "Extreme Challenge" can reach the same level as "Running Man", then the originally stable pattern will be broken.

The three-legged tripod is not scary. What is scary is that two of them belong to the same camp, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the third party!

The losses in profits are so great that it is heartbreaking!
This is the case in the variety show circle, not to mention the TV drama circle.

"Ode to Joy" and "The Disguiser" are enough to give major TV drama producers a headache.

Feiyue Films was so powerful that they not only failed, but also lost a lot of ratings share.

Everyone was already worrying about how to deal with it, but when the latest announcement from Feiyue Films came out, some producers started to lose their hair on the spot!
"The scripts of "Go Go Squid!", "The Undocumented Crime", "Princess Agents", and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" have all passed review and will officially enter the preparation stage. Please stay tuned!"

For a time, the TV drama production circle was in an uproar.

How can we stop Feiyue Film and Television from coming so aggressively? Can we stop it?
