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

Chapter 803: Open your mouth...collect interest in advance!

"Sir! We have collected a large number of fireworks and firecrackers from the truck. There is evidence that these were brought by Johnny Depp. He is suspected of disturbing public order!"

"Sir, according to the on-site investigation, Johnny Depp openly released fireworks into the crowd, which is a crime of intentional injury."

"Sir, we collected a large amount of illegal drugs and even an unregistered gun from Depp's RV."

"..."

Reports from the police officers at the scene came one after another. The LAPD leader's face changed again and again, and he even took out his walkie-talkie to seek support.

Megan Ellison looked coldly at Johnny Depp who was lying on the ground wailing, and she wished she could kick him to death!

This guy had been in trouble since the day he joined the crew, and now he had caused her a huge disaster, which might even cause the film's investment to go down the drain.

How could she endure this?
However, Lauder, who was standing next to her, reminded her, "Boss, Depp is the leading actor in Ben-Hur. His role will be over in more than a month. We can't give up on him now!"

Hearing this, Megan immediately remembered her huge investment.

How could more than 2 million US dollars be wasted?
She suppressed her anger and said, "Go find a lawyer and a doctor, and make sure he can return to the crew in a short time."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Fade Chen who was folding his arms across from her, anger rising in her heart.

This damn yellow-skinned guy actually beat his male protagonist like this!

With such a big commotion on the set, Natasha naturally wouldn't sit idly by and she also came to the set at a very fast speed.

After briefly understanding the situation, she came to Fade Chen and said in a deep voice, "Depp was beaten like this, there may be trouble in the future."

"No problem." Chen Fei snorted, "We are in the right. You should make arrangements immediately and take control of the initiative of public opinion.

Also, arrange for those special groups in the crew to take this opportunity to report the case to the LAPD. We must take the initiative and hold Depp down first!"

"it is good."

Natasha nodded slightly and immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time, Chen Fei was not idle either.

He first found Huang Jinyu, who was the first to rush out and knock Depp down with a punch, and warned him: "If the LAPD wants you to go back for investigation, you only need to remember one thing: it was Depp who blasted you with fireworks first, so you fought back out of self-defense, understand?

I will arrange for my legal team to assist you throughout the process. If you encounter questions that you cannot answer, you don’t have to answer them. The lawyers will help you arrange everything.”

"understand!"

Huang Jinyu nodded heavily, not too nervous.

He was born into a military family. His grandfather participated in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and his father and cousin also served in the military.

He has been out in society since he was 16. He has worked as a charcoal burner in a barbecue restaurant, a telephone editor at a radio station, a waiter, and a factory apprentice. He has a lot of life experience.

He knew very well that as long as Chen Fei was there, nothing would happen to him.

What’s more important is that his behavior this time successfully left a deep impression on Chen Fei, which will definitely be of great help to his development in the entertainment industry!
Events are still developing.

At Natasha's instruction, several people from special groups stood up and said that Depp had just made obscene and insulting gestures towards them.

On the other hand, Depp has his own troubles.

His mouth was already swollen from the beating, and he couldn't even speak normally, let alone refute.

Lord originally wanted to negotiate with Fade Chen, but he was unable to do so. Instead, he received a sky-high compensation bill!

With Depp and his group of fox and dog friends being taken away by the ambulance, the matter came to a temporary end, but the incident will not end so easily.

The crew of "Ben-Hur" must pay this sky-high compensation bill!
"Just think of it as collecting some interest first."

Chen Fei muttered to himself, returned to the director's chair, and announced that the filming of "Ready Player One" would continue.

His side got back on track quickly, but the "Ben-Hur" crew completely suspended filming.

Megan Ellison and Lauder began to think about how to get Johnny Depp out of this incident and return to the crew for filming.

At the same time, outside, news about Johnny Depp's misbehavior in the studio has appeared on the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

The incident involved the two major crews of "Ben-Hur" and "Ready Player One", as well as a number of celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, and Chen Fei, which undoubtedly added a lot of heat to the incident.

In less than half an hour, the news had already topped Google's trending search list and quickly spread around the world as if it had wings.

Netizens across the United States and even the world were alarmed!

"Oh my God! Depp was beaten into a pig's head?"

"What on earth was this damn idiot thinking? He actually blasted fireworks into the crowd. Isn't he asking for a beating?"

"What? There are a lot of drugs hidden in Depp's RV? What on earth is he doing? Has he forgotten what happened to River Phoenix? He died outside Depp's bar because of taking drugs!"

"Brother Fei is awesome. He actually beat up a top international superstar. He really makes us Chinese proud!"

"I just wonder, who on earth would like a guy who smokes, drinks, has tattoos, takes drugs, cheats on his wife, and has a history of drug driving?"

"He actually used fireworks to insult women! I call on all female fans to refuse to watch the movies starring him!"

"As for the homosexual and transgender communities, we will no longer be compatible with Depp. We will boycott any movie starring him until it is released in theaters..."

Under Natasha's manipulation, "Ready Player One" successfully took the commanding heights of public opinion, and Depp became the target of everyone's criticism and abuse.

Although these were not enough to kick Depp out of Hollywood, they successfully ruined his popularity among the public and even led several brands to terminate their endorsement contracts with him.

After this incident, Depp’s losses must be at least tens of millions of dollars!

Of course, his die-hard fans will still support him, but how many of them can there be?
As a star or actor, once he loses his popularity among the public, his box office appeal will plummet. This is a key factor that can affect a movie!

Even though his agent gave an explanation and response immediately, he still couldn't stop the overwhelming public opinion.

Many people at the scene recorded the video, and everyone saw it clearly. It was clearly Depp who took the initiative to provoke, and he refused to admit his mistakes, so the "Ready Player One" crew launched a counterattack.

At the same time, many people in the Hollywood circle who have worked with Depp in recent years have publicly stated that Depp has become an object of hatred in the circle in recent years, and working with him is simply a disaster!
Based on this, Depp's popularity plummeted again, and more and more people are not optimistic about the movie "Ben-Hur".

On the other hand, "Ready Player One" has once again become popular online because of this incident and has successfully entered the vision of many people.

Chen Fei acted decisively and took advantage of this wave of popularity to carry out a round of publicity and released several movie posters.

It turns out that the results are quite fruitful!
……

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

After finishing the filming that day and returning to the villa, several pieces of news from China successfully attracted Chen Fei's attention.

"The literary drama film "The Worst Person in the World", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, directed and starred by Chen Fei, and produced and starred by Liu Yifei, grossed 3.14 million yuan in the first week of its release, with the daily box office revenue dropping to 2000 million yuan."

"The historical feature film "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty", produced by China Film Group and starring Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, Luo Jin, Pu Bajia and others, officially started shooting at the Huairou Film and Television Base this morning."

"The large-scale CG fantasy, action and adventure masterpiece "Jade Dynasty" produced by LeTV Pictures, written and directed by Guo Jingming, and starring many big stars such as Fan Bingbing, Wu Yifan, Chen Xuedong, Chen Weiting, and Wang Yuan, held its opening ceremony in Beijing today."

"At the launch event for the filming of "Jade Dynasty", LeEco Pictures President Zhang Zhao and director Guo Jingming publicly stated that "Jade Dynasty" has been officially approved as a series of films, which will rival the Hollywood fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings"!"

"The Hollywood blockbuster "San Andreas," produced by Warner Bros., has officially withdrawn from theaters because its daily box office revenue has dropped below 100 million yuan, with a total box office revenue of 6.28 million yuan."

"The outdoor reality show "Go Fighting" controlled by Youku and co-invested by Feiyue Film and Guangguang has been broadcast to the third episode, and the average ratings have reached a new high, successfully matching "Running Man." "The comedy action movie "Running Man" produced by Guangguang and starring Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Cheng Kang and others was officially launched today. According to the notice of the theater chain, the film's scheduling rate has reached 30.8%."

"..."

Looking around, the news on the Internet is booming!

The domestic summer season is approaching and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

In just over a week, as many as thirteen new domestic films were released in theaters, but the final results were very unsatisfactory.

It’s only June. Come July, the film market will immediately turn into a giant meat grinder!

Only then will the winner take all, and the losers will not only lose miserably, but will also have to accept all kinds of criticism and questioning from the outside world.

"I've got some porridge and a computer for you. Director Jiang sent you an email and asked you to reply to her as soon as possible."

Liu Yifei acted as Chen Fei's temporary life and work assistant. She was very busy and had a lot of fun, but she didn't want to leave.

She even asked to help out on the set of Ready Player One, but was politely declined by Chen Fei.

The set was too messy, and Miss Liu was the type of person who preferred quietness over movement, so there was no need for her to torture herself.

What's more, several personal assistants and work assistants are on the set all day, so Liu Yifei doesn't need to do the tiring work.

Therefore, she officially took over the position of home life assistant.

"Come and feed me."

Chen Fei made a very "unreasonable" request while opening the email and reading it.

The content of the email shows the casting situation of the TV drama project "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky". At a glance, the names of Zhang Yi, Yin Tao, Tao Zeru, Zhang Jianing, Gao Shuyao and others are clearly marked in it, as well as their personal profiles and detailed information.

Chen Fei read them carefully one by one, while recalling the future development of these people in his mind.

Looking back, most of the actors on this list actually have no hope of becoming famous in the future.

But fortunately, they did not engage in any "illegal or criminal" behavior.

That alone is great.

"Come on, ah, open your mouth and taste it to see if it's hot."

Liu Yifei's voice suddenly came to his ear. Chen Fei opened his mouth subconsciously, and the next second he felt warm white porridge appear in his mouth.

“Not hot, tastes great!”

He freed one hand and gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up, his eyes full of surprise.

The kitchen killer can actually make porridge that tastes so good, his level has really improved!
"Hehe, don't look at me like that. I will grow up too, okay? After my mother's careful teaching, I can now make simple porridge, cakes, noodles, etc."

"Not bad!"

Chen Fei came up and pecked her red lips as a reward: "It seems that our children will never go hungry in the future."

Liu Yifei's cheeks turned red, and she pushed him away coquettishly, "What child? I haven't even agreed to have a child for you, okay? Don't be so self-indulgent."

"Haha, that's not up to you. I'm going to have you for the rest of my life!"

"Huh? You're so oily!"

"Hey? How dare you call me oily? Wait, I'll rub all the oil on you."

After replying to the email, Chen Fei picked up the bowl and quickly finished his meal. Then he extended his evil claws directly to the smiling Miss Liu.

……

On the 27th, Chen Fei paid special attention to the box office performance of the movie "Running Man Hollywood" starring Huang Xiaoming.

The box office on the first day was 5449 million, which seemed to be a pretty good result, but unfortunately the word of mouth was not that good.

"Tong Dawei's fluent Northeastern dialect saved the movie, and Huang Xiaoming still had that same expression of always looking at me at a 45-degree sideways, which is the most handsome expression. It's just to kill time, otherwise I wouldn't be interested in watching it."

"The scene where Tong Dawei transformed into a Spanish girl was so charming, it made me laugh so hard! Zhao Yanzi was possessed by Bi Shengnan as soon as she appeared. As for the plot... just treat it as a joke and have fun with it."

"I was looking forward to it, after all, the trailer was really good and the subject matter was novel, but the film was really disappointing. The actors' acting was too exaggerated, the connection between the clips was abrupt, and the transition was particularly sudden. In short, it was very messy. Moreover, Zhao Yanzi's English sounded really bad, with too much erhua in the pronunciation. It might as well be Chinese."

At the same time, while paying attention to the domestic movie box office, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that the domestic entertainment industry seemed to be very lively today!
After a closer look, he discovered that the domestic stock market index had broken through 5000 points!
This situation was like a warm current, instantly igniting the share prices of mainland listed film and television companies such as Huayi, Guangxian, and Tangde.

In the blink of an eye, the stock prices of these companies soared into the sky like ignited rockets!
Among them, Huayi's performance was the most eye-catching, with its stock price soaring to 64 yuan and its market value reaching an astonishing 2 billion.

Based on this situation, people's discussions on the film and television industry have become increasingly heated.

Some people inexplicably feel very sorry for the passing of Big Dog Brother, thinking that he was a buried talent.

Some people also believe that if Pony.com had chosen to go public at a different time, it might have successfully become a capital giant in the film and television industry.

These discussions have undoubtedly prompted people to think more about the future direction of the film and television industry.

However, for actors and the media in the circle, the focus of netizens is completely different from theirs.

Looking around, the news reports are all about the skyrocketing value of certain actors, directors, stars, and producers. It's so lively!
LeTV Pictures took this opportunity to once again extend a large number of olive branches to the film and television industry, hoping to bring more people on board and become grasshoppers on the same boat.

On the same day, Chen Fei's mobile phone received a large number of calls from the mainland.

Without exception, the people on the other end of the phone were asking whether Feiyue Films had any ideas about going public, and wanted to enter the market in advance.

You know, compared to LeTV, Alibaba, Huayi and the like, Feiyue Films is actually the real "leader" in the mainland film industry!
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Chen Fei announced that Feiyue Film and Television was going to go public, countless people would rush over waving banknotes to give him money.

It is even possible that the market value can reach hundreds of billions after listing!
However, they were disappointed in the end, because all Chen Fei replied was: "I'm sorry, Feiyue Films has no idea or plan to go public."

He was so annoyed that he simply turned off his phone and ignored it.

"Huayi? Market value of 890 billion?"

When he thought of this number, Fade Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

During this period, the two brothers of the Wang family enjoyed great success and received countless praises and admiration.

Taking advantage of this popularity, the movie "Old Cannon" officially announced its release date, which is exactly the Lunar New Year holiday!

But it won’t be long before they can’t laugh anymore!

"Boss, the Ben-Hur crew has paid the full amount of compensation. The $200 million has now been fully credited to our account."

The voice of the production team leader suddenly rang in his ears, successfully pulling Fade Chen back to his senses.

"All credited? Hey, as expected of the princess of Oracle, you are generous."

Chen Fei raised the corner of Yang's mouth and immediately ordered: "Since all the money has been received, give bonuses to everyone in the crew. Just consider it as the reward for beating Depp. Hahahahaha!"

As his order was given, soon after, the crew of "Ready Player One" burst into warm cheers.

On the other hand, the crew of "Ben-Hur" was dead silent at this moment!
