Chapter 801 "Welcoming party"!
"The Hollywood blockbuster "Jurassic World" has been released for 9 days and the box office has reached 7.69 million yuan. The 10 billion box office is just around the corner!"

"The TV series "Together With You 2" exclusively produced by Feiyue Films has officially started filming, and the original cast is still assembled, so stay tuned."

"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, Liu Yifei is the producer and the leading actress, Chen Fei is the director and the leading actor, Zhou Xun, Zhu Yawen, Liu Xiaoli, Shu Chang, Zhao Liying and others have joined the cast.

The literary drama "The Worst Person in the World", which won the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival, officially entered the national cinema and began to be screened today."

"According to the data from the cinema chain, the first-day screening schedule of The Worst Man in the World was as high as 32%, which is not inferior to commercial films at all."

"Many people in the film and television industry posted their movie ticket stubs online to show their support for the film's release. Fan Bingbing and her boyfriend Li Chen even booked a theater to show their support..."

……

Today's filming of "Ready Player One" was a little slow, and many people on the set noticed that Chen Fei was a little distracted, but they didn't know why.

In the afternoon, to everyone's surprise, Chen Fei publicly announced that the crew would take half a day off and continue filming tomorrow.

Although everyone didn't know why the director was so kind, this rare half-day holiday undoubtedly gave many actors and staff some time to breathe.

My heart has been tense for so long, it's nice to relax occasionally.

Because the crew of "Ben-Hur" was working closely with the "Ready Player One" crew, the "Ben-Hur" crew naturally received the news in a very short time as soon as the holiday came.

Johnny Depp is a weirdo. When he heard that the crew next door had stopped working, he quit on the spot.

"We've been filming for so long, I need to take a break too. Do you really treat me like a robot?"

After complaining, Depp went straight to the lounge and played cards with his group of friends.

Inside the crew, producer Lauder and director Timur Bekmambetov looked at each other with helplessness on their faces and could only let him go.

Of course, the crew will definitely not stop working on this.

Although Depp's scenes were paused, others could still shoot, so it was like giving him half a day off.

Because she received the check, Amber Heard has been staying on the crew and has not gone to the fitness trainer to do her hair in recent days.

Seeing Depp abandon the crew, she first called Megan Ellison to report, and then followed him into the lounge.

Through her understanding during this period, Amber discovered that Megan was an investor who liked to get deep into the crew. As long as she reported everything to her, her income would definitely become more and more substantial.

Although Depp is still often late, hungover, taking drugs, and can't remember his lines, he is still an actor with strong box office appeal.

With the help of this condition, Amber Heard lives a very comfortable life.

Entering the lounge, Amber glanced at Depp and his group of friends who were playing cards, rolled her eyes, and pushed the door into the bedroom.

The bedroom is very messy with a lot of things placed in it.

Amber's eyes fell on the table, where, in addition to the bottle of wine, there was a metal box engraved with Captain Spike's head.

The box was open, and inside were special items such as cigarettes, which were Depp's "spiritual" food for refreshing himself.

Amber curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile on her face. She took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the metal box one after another, recording it all.

Although she is Depp's legal wife, there is no love between them.

The reason she was with Depp was simply to enjoy the wealthy life she had never enjoyed before.

If Depp was a normal actor, even if he was a playboy like Leonardo, Amber would not care. At most, they would just play with each other.

But the problem is that he is a drug addict and is hated by everyone in the Hollywood circle.

If it weren't for the title of "Captain", he would be no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Therefore, in order to continue to enjoy a wealthy life in the future, Amber must prepare for herself.

She saw clearly that if Depp continued to be so arrogant, he would get into big trouble sooner or later.

By then, she must get away with it safely, and take away a large amount of his property!

After taking the photos, Amber fixed her makeup in front of the mirror and walked straight out of the lounge.

Depp also noticed his beloved woman at this time and immediately asked: "Honey, where are you going? Aren't you going to stay and play with me?"

Amber curled her lips secretly, but she didn't stop walking. She was already out the door before she responded, "I'm going to get my hair done."

At this time, one of Depp's friends suddenly said, "Boss, why does my sister-in-law like to do her hair so much these days?"

Depp's brain had been corroded by alcohol, and he couldn't figure it out at all, so he just casually responded, "The more beautiful she dresses, the more successful I am, isn't it? Hahahahaha!"

Soon, the group of people fell into revelry again. Box of beer was delivered one after another, and the smell of medicine filled the room.

……

Los Angeles International Airport, departure gate.

When he saw the figure in a white dress, Fade Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly went over to greet her.

He and Liu Yifei had agreed to come after the movie was released, but Miss Liu couldn't wait any longer, so she changed her flight ticket to one day earlier.

Look, I flew here from afar today.

Seeing her lover, Liu Yifei rushed over without caring about the opinions of the surrounding passengers and fans. The impact was so strong that Chen Fei took several steps back and almost fell down.

"Fade Chen, I miss you so much!"

"Me too."

He leaned over and kissed her little red mouth. Then Chen Fei put her down and took her hand and walked out.

"Let's go and welcome you first."

"Ah?" Miss Liu's pretty face immediately turned red after hearing this, and she muttered softly: "Although it's already evening, is there any need to be so anxious? I just got off the plane."

"What are you thinking about all day in your little head?" Chen Fei gave her a slap on the head in annoyance: "I mean, let's go eat first."

"Oh fine."

"From your tone, you seem quite disappointed? How about we go and welcome him first?"

"Let's eat first. I'm hungry and I don't have any energy."

"Haha, okay, let's go and recover our strength first. After all, we did a lot of exercise at night."

……

After dinner, the two returned to their mansion in Beverly Hills and exercised from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning before finally stopping.

Liu Yifei, with her body covered in sweat, leaned quietly in Chen Fei's arms, clinging tightly to him.

The atmosphere in the room was tense and the two were not too sleepy at the moment, so they simply looked up information about the movie "The Worst Person in the World".

It is daytime now in China. After yesterday's hot screening, the movie box office and related reviews have been released.

"The literary drama film "The Worst Person in the World", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, directed and starred by Chen Fei, with Liu Yifei as the leading actress, grossed 7768 million yuan on its first day of release, and received rave reviews..."

"Critics have mixed reviews. Those who like it call it a masterpiece, while those who don't like it call it trash that no one would pick up in the trash can."

"Liu Yifei's acting skills have been recognized by the vast majority of people in the industry. She deserves the title of Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival!"

Chen Fei knew that this movie would receive mixed reviews after it was released in China, and he was mentally prepared.

If you want to win awards at foreign film festivals, the subject matter of your film must be more biased and will inevitably fail to meet everyone's expectations.

This has always been the characteristic of art films.

"It's an interesting and sad story. The relationship between the heroine and her father cannot be reconciled, so the hero actually plays a part of the father's role. He understands her words "I love you, but I don't love you anymore."

"I feel like this is a feminist freedom song and the twelve rhythms of her life. I can't say I like it very much, but it is smooth and comfortable to watch, especially the vivid and realistic love between men and women."

"A 30-year-old woman lived casually, stopping and starting, and had no idea what she wanted. Her life was out of focus and aimless. She got the freedom she wanted, but she also paid a price and became the worst person."

"The movie doesn't give the answer to whether life choices are right or wrong. How to live your life is up to you. However, if the roles of the man and woman were reversed, it would be a complete scumbag movie and would be hammered to death! The screenwriter is really bold!" "I can't understand this movie. Isn't this just a complete scumbag woman? Forget it, I won't recommend it. Director Chen, see you in the next movie."

"Why did this movie win the Palme d'Or? I don't understand it. I really don't understand it. The more I watch it, the more confused I get."

“Isn’t this promoting women’s rights…”

……

Liu Yifei's mentality had already been trained very strongly at this time, and her mentality did not change because of a few comments on the Internet.

What's more, she had endured so much criticism in the past, and now there are only a handful of them, which is not a big deal for her at all.

However, as a producer, she is quite sensitive to the box office.

"Huh? The first day's box office was over 10 million. Is this a trend toward billion?"

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Fei was a little amused and said, "This movie is only because we are famous, with so many well-known actors making cameos, and the popularity of the Palme d'Or and Cannes Film Festival, otherwise it wouldn't have made much of a splash.

It will probably only be popular for a few days, and once the audience’s curiosity dies down, the daily box office will naturally plummet.”

"Okay, so that's how it is..."

Liu Yifei pouted, looking reluctant.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Fade Chen suddenly changed the subject and said, "How about this? I will give you a commercial film script during this period of time. You will be the producer and challenge yourself to have a high box office. How about that?"

"Okay! Okay!" Miss Liu immediately smiled happily.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Fade Chen immediately pressed the issue: "Then... is it okay for me to receive some rewards in advance?"

"What reward do you want? Do you want to do it again? But I'm so tired and don't want to move."

Hearing this, Fade Chen chuckled and said, "It's okay. You don't have to move at all. Just lie down and stick your head up a little bit..."

……

The next morning, Chen Fei arrived at the crew refreshed and started filming again.

Although I was quite tired throughout last night, my body had been tense for so long that relaxing for a while actually helped my mental state recover. I felt pretty good.

At the same time, as the crew of "Ready Player One" officially entered the shooting state, "Ben-Hur" on the other side also started moving.

Megan Ellison arrived at the production area early in the morning.

Coming to the rest area on the second floor, she drank coffee while keeping an eye on the crew next door through the window.

Compared to the clutter and lifelessness of "Ben-Hur", the situation next door is completely different. From the director to the actors to the staff, everyone is full of passion.

Megan Ellison sat in the lounge for two hours, from 7 to 9 o'clock.

Although she couldn't see the specific filming process of "Ready Player One", she could tell from the staff's constant adjustment of equipment and transitions that a lot of material was collected there.

Let’s look at Ben-Hur from the other side.

Megan Ellison walked out of the green room and glanced across the set.

Producer Lauder, director Timur Bekmambetov, and a group of supporting actors and staff were all present and had even started preparations before filming.

But the most important male lead Depp was not present!
She came to Lauder and asked, "What's going on with Depp? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Lord shook his head helplessly. "He had a party in the lounge last night, which lasted until 3:30 in the morning. I heard that he then moved to the dancer bar."

Upon hearing this, Megan Ellison became furious.

She took out her cell phone and called Amber Heard directly.

Another hour passed, until it was past ten o'clock, when a nanny car finally arrived.

The car door opened and Amber almost dragged Depp out of the car.

Depp walked unsteadily, as if he was still drunk. His sunken eye sockets didn't need any makeup at all, as they were exactly the same as Captain Sparrow's dark circles.

Obviously, he is still in "flight" mode.

Megan's face turned dark, and she suddenly felt that a lot of dollars were blown away by the wind.

Fortunately, director Timur Bekmambetov adjusted the shooting plan and promptly moved all of Depp's scenes to the afternoon. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete all the scenes within the stipulated time!
"Let him sober up!"

Megan growled and didn't want to stay on the set of "Ben-Hur" for a moment, so she got in the car and went straight to the set of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword".

During this time, when she passed by the entrance of the "Ready Player One" crew, she clearly saw Chen Fei demonstrating the movements to the actors. Everyone was listening very carefully, including two Oscar-winning actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey!

Seeing this, Megan Ellison couldn't help but worry.

Strictly speaking, he snatched both "Ben-Hur" and "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" from Walton Pictures because she bid higher than Chen Fei at the auction.

From the script to the investment and the production team, these two projects are top-notch in the Hollywood industry, and the probability of success is extremely high!

"If the movie loses money in the end, Johnny Depp, I will never let you go!"

At this moment, Megan Ellison not only hated Depp's non-cooperation, but also had huge doubts about her father's Oracle's big data analysis library!
……

Because Liu Yifei is around, Chen Fei doesn't have to worry about accidentally missing out on some special "big melons".

For example, the news that the large-scale costume film "The Woman of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei", produced by China Film Group Corporation, co-directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Shiqing, and starring Fan Bingbing, Li Ming, Ning Jing and others, was officially announced to be released on July 7 was reminded to him by Liu Yifei.

However, it also comes with a fatal question: "Whose is bigger, me or Fan Bingbing?"

Chen Fei keenly discovered the trap and immediately responded righteously: "How should I know this? I haven't seen Fan Bingbing's work."

This answer was barely acceptable, so a smile immediately appeared on Miss Liu's face.

"There's more, there's more."

She held up her phone and showed Chen Fei another piece of news.

"In view of the fact that Wu Yifan, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and other Chinese artists have left one after another, not abiding by the contract provisions, and openly violating the performing arts regulations, SM Entertainment has officially announced today that it will open personal studios in the Chinese market for its Chinese artists Zhang Yixing, Song Qian and others..."

"Hey? Finally figured it out?"

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

If SM Entertainment continues to strictly control Chinese artists from returning to China to develop their careers, Zhang Yixing will, if nothing unexpected happens, officially announce his departure from the company soon.

The second episode of the first season of "Go Fighting" was officially aired last night and once again took first place in the ratings in the same time period.

As one of the permanent guests, Zhang Yixing's popularity naturally saw a surge, and he soon caught up with Wu Yifan and Lu Han who returned home early.

With the domestic development being so good, only a fool would continue to go back to South Korea.

SM is cutting its wrists to survive. I think this move should be able to temporarily stabilize those Chinese artists.

After paying attention to these "fresh melons" on the Internet, Chen Fei opened his mailbox and read an email sent to him by Jiang Xurou.

Following "Go Go Squid!", the web drama "The Undocumented Crime" was the first to confirm its cast.

Now we just have to wait for Chen Fei to review it, and the crew will officially issue contracts to the actors and prepare to start the filming plan.

"Qin Hao, Deng Jiajia, Yao Lu, Dai Xu, Wang Zhener..."

To be honest, looking at the list of actors, Chen Fei was quite surprised.

Qin Hao, the little prince of art films, teamed up with the "little aunt" in Love Apartment to star in a crime-themed web drama, which is indeed somewhat subversive compared to the roles they have played before!
However, as an actor, you naturally have to have the courage to challenge yourself.

Chen Fei is still very optimistic about the two of them. Perhaps when this web drama goes online, it will bring a big surprise to the entire network!
