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

Chapter 811: Competing with Ali? The bad movie is finally over!

Brother Chen Kai is worthy of the honorable title of "Great Poet Chen" because he has the "real stuff".

On Weibo, the long love letter "Saying to You" became an instant hit once it was published!

Looking around, in the entire love letter, he actually wrote a long paragraph of love words for every main actor who had participated in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

The whole article not only quotes many poems, but also uses many literary words to paint vivid pictures for each actor.

In his writing, each actor's characteristics and performance in the movie are praised vividly.

His own efforts were even more highly praised:
"The filming lasted seven and a half months with a team of nearly a thousand people. We hired outside professionals for everything from photography, stunts, editing, and music composition.
I don’t want to brag about how big the production is, how much it cost, or how awesome the film is. I just want someone to help me pass the “industry” test. If I pass this test, I won’t see a new dawn for Chinese films. Careful preparation, full-hearted shooting, and repeated polishing are the responsibilities of a qualified film director…”

Even his wife Chen Hong, her contributions were praised concisely and powerfully by director Chen, as if penetrating through the back of the paper and reaching people's hearts!
"Since I first became a producer in 02, you have been urging me to not have any distractions. Every time I shoot a movie, I should throw myself into a furnace like a piece of stubborn iron, melt away all the dross, and melt away all the arrogance. Only then can creativity finally flow freely and be forged into excellence. I tried again and again, and I don't know if "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" did it.

For the past twenty years, you have been with me like a shadow, and you have shared many disasters with me, but I have never thanked you once. That night, you held my bruised face and shed a tear, which made me understand what it means to never leave. You shed a tear, which made me understand what it means to never leave..."

Looking at the whole love letter, what Chen Fei liked most was the description of Lin Zhiling by the great poet Chen:
"People say Zhiling is a vase, I say Zhiling is a vase of flowers, fragrant and aromatic. You always stood for more than ten hours on the set, Chen Hong was careful, saying that she was afraid that if she sat down, Zhiling would wrinkle her cheongsam. The next day, a bar stool was delivered, and the clothes would not be wrinkled even if she sat down. You still didn't sit down, and when I asked you, you said, I will sit down only if Yuzhen (your character) sits down. This time, you acted really well!"

After reading the entire love letter, Chen Fei only had one comment in his mind:
"Old Chen is really awesome!"

Although it looks pedantic and gives people goose bumps, it has to be said that the great poet Chen really put his heart into it.

Chen Fei even had the urge to learn!
If I say this in front of Miss Liu, I might be able to unlock a new posture!
The ultimate result of this love letter was that the next morning, the daily box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" soared from more than 4 million to nearly million!

Many directors and producers in the industry feel like they have "learned something".

We really didn't expect that movie promotion could be done this way. It's really cool and ordinary people can't learn it at all!

When Chen Fei was on the phone with Ning Hao, he heard Director Ning complaining:
"If I dare to write like this, your sister Na will definitely question me and ask if I am obsessed with the heroine... Oh! No! I can't write such a high-quality love letter at all. How can I have that ability?"

"Hahaha, learn something. If you can't write, can't you copy?"

"Forget it. I really don't have that kind of artistic talent. I really can't learn this thing. I just don't have that kind of talent."

"You deserve to be scolded by your wife all day long. Don't you know how to comfort her? Look at the old Chen couple. They are a real couple."

"Tsk, you young people should learn it. I'm already a father, how can I have so much energy?"

The two chatted for a long time, and then talked about topics related to "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun", and finally talked about Director Wang and Miss Zhang.

"You probably don't know, right? The couple finally got divorced. The news has spread all over the circle now."

"Ah?" Chen Fei was stunned. "No, I saw them posting on Weibo last night that they were traveling together. How come they got divorced today? What's going on?"

"How would anyone know? I didn't ask, I just heard it from others. It seems that Zhang Yuqi posted a Weibo saying "I wish you well, I wish you peace", which officially announced their breakup."

"Okay, that's it for now. I'm hanging up now. Go eat some melons."

Before Ning Hao could react, Fade Chen had already pressed the hang-up button and left Director Ning aside.

"Hey? Why does this guy like to join in the fun so much?"

Ning Hao muttered to himself, and deleted all the messages Wang Zhonglei sent him, then turned around and walked home.

"You still want to poach me? Ha, I won't even look at the conditions you offer!"

……

After reading Zhang Yuqi's Weibo post, Chen Fei smacked his lips and muttered, "What a good show of a good breakup!"

Ever since Director Wang was released from prison, the two have been "sweet and sweet" on Weibo, giving people the signal that both sides are willing to forgive the other for bygone days.

But all this is just an illusion.

While they were still showing their affection, the two had already completed their divorce.

There is no cooling-off period for divorce now. You can just take your household registration book to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce certificate easily.

Looking around, most of the comments on Miss Zhang's Weibo are wishing her to return to being single.

Although she was once exposed by paparazzi for making mistakes during this marriage, that was entirely because Director Wang made the mistake first.

Based on this, their divorce drama did not cause much public opinion crisis.

On the other hand, Dong Jie, who just announced his comeback through "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", is in a miserable situation!

As Pan Yueming becomes more and more popular, she is now hated by everyone.

In addition, she had previously won the Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress, which made her the target of public criticism.

There are many people on the Internet now scolding her, asking her to get out of the entertainment industry and stop exploiting Pan Yueming!
But this guy is really thick-skinned. Not only did he take on a new drama, he even took on a new variety show and planned to take his son to appear on the show!

Many people in the circle are also very dissatisfied with her and want to stay away from her.

However, her sworn brother, Chen Kun, has been supporting her and helping her, and everyone doesn't want to offend him, so they just let him continue to jump around.

Huo Wenxi had previously asked Pan Yueming about his opinion, and his meaning was to just ignore it.

Therefore, neither Feiyue Films nor Feiyinghuang Agency has made any response strategies at present, but chooses to respect Pan Yueming's choice and decision.

……

After arriving in the UK, the filming of "Ready Player One" also entered the most critical moment.

You know, in the history of film, few works can push the boundary between virtuality and reality to the extreme like "Ready Player One".

Because of this, Chen Fei had to rely on himself throughout the entire process, and there were no actual or similar films for him to refer to during the filming process.

Although there are many scenes before the rebirth in my mind, the original "Ready Player One" was a Warner project after all, and it is still very different from now.

After entering the shooting stage, the production team also faced unprecedented challenges.

Since a large number of scenes in the movie take place in the virtual world, the use of motion capture technology becomes key.

The actors need to wear special tights covered with equipment for capturing movements.

In the studio, they need to face the monotonous gray background and props, but they have to imagine that they are in a fantasy world, which is undoubtedly a huge test of the actors' acting skills!

At the same time, Chen Fei is not satisfied with simply using motion capture technology to present the virtual world.

He hoped to allow the audience to more intuitively feel the real experience of the characters in the game, so he simply introduced VR technology and turned the shooting scene into an immersive virtual reality environment.

In some scenes, after putting on VR glasses, the actors can see their own image and movements in the virtual world in real time, so that they can grasp the character's state and emotions more accurately.

Although this adds a lot of basic conditions for the actors to smoothly get into the role, it also makes shooting more difficult in certain specific scenes!

Especially the "high-speed racing" scene.

This scene requires the actors to perform in a high-speed moving vehicle, while also coordinating with special effects and photography to present a thrilling visual effect.

This not only requires certain driving skills and physical fitness of the actors, but also challenges the filming team's ability to work together. Fortunately, the post-production team of "Ready Player One" is strong enough!
During the filming process, Chen Fei often felt fortunate that he had spent a huge amount of money to purchase several top Hollywood special effects companies.

It is no exaggeration to say that the special effects production in "Ready Player One" can be regarded as a milestone in film history.

The participation of top special effects companies such as Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain has brought unprecedented visual shock to the film.

The special effects team currently uses the world's most advanced CG technology to directly construct a huge and detailed virtual world.

Whether it is the thrilling scenes of car racing or the grand scenes of amazing team battles, they can create a feeling that the audience is in a real and fantasy game world.

Since the crew came to the UK, many "local" directors and actors have visited the set.

Without exception, all of these people came with doubts and curiosity, and then left in a trance with emotions and states of surprise, emotion, and disbelief.

Even Spielberg, after visiting the set, commented: "This movie has fully assembled the world's top CG special effects standards."

For a time, movie fans all over the world began to wait and see.

……

In a blink of an eye, early July has come to the last day.

The A-share market is still plummeting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the average number of companies that have hit the daily limit in the past few days has been above 1000, causing countless "leeks" to go to the rooftop and choose to leave this world.

It was as if after arriving in hell, they no longer had to pay attention to the colorful market.

Today, there are finally serious experts who have come forward in the financial news.

However, one sentence from an expert completely broke the defense of many investors on the verge of collapse: "If the market continues to fall, the stock market will not be able to return to its current peak in the next ten years..."

Chen Fei took a special look at Huayi's market value.

At this point, this leading film and television company that was "expected" to reach a market value of 250 billion yuan has surprisingly lost billion yuan in market value out of thin air. It can't be described with just one word: "miserable".

After closing the financial news website with great satisfaction, Chen Fei turned his attention to Weibo.

On the hot search list, several press releases and related movie news reports came up again:
"The comedy film "I Am Nobody" directed by Derek Yee and invested 3500 million yuan has been forcibly withdrawn from the theaters due to low box office, with a total box office of 5673 million yuan."

"The Republic of China fantasy martial arts epic "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has seen a sharp decline again after a brief reversal of box office. The daily new box office has dropped to 1739 million, showing signs of fatigue."

"The comedy romance film "Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul", directed by Guo Jingming and starring Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, Chen Xuedong and others, was officially released in the early hours of last night.

According to the cinema chain, the film's midnight box office closed at 593 million, and the cinema chain's daytime screening rate was as high as 42%! "

"Feiyue Films announced that its exclusive TV drama project "Princess Agents" will officially start casting in the near future.

The script is adapted from Xiaoxiang Dong'er's novel "11 Secret Agents Princess", which tells the story of Chu Qiao, an independent female slave in the turbulent Western Wei Dynasty, and her stories of protection, betrayal, faith and love in the process of helping to establish a new regime.

It is reported that "Princess Agents" is a top IP and female-lead project, and is no less impressive than Alibaba's recently announced "Eternal Love".

The industry is in an uproar again at this moment!

The actresses were almost going crazy, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to pounce on him!
No one expected that after "Eternal Love", another super heroine IP masterpiece "Princess Agents" officially announced the launch of the actor casting plan!

In the crew of "The Journey to the West", Yang Ying looked at the news online and muttered curiously:

"Ali? Feiyue Films? Princess Agents? Eternal Love? Are they going to compete?"

“That’s probably it.” Huang Xiaoming touched his bald head and analyzed, “Ali Pictures has been taking advantage of the popularity of The Journey of Flower recently, and has been comparing Eternal Love with the former.

Feiyue Films probably couldn’t stand it anymore, so they came up with a new drama and are ready to play with them.”

Yang Ying's eyes lit up: "Which of these two dramas is better?"

Huang Xiaoming responded without even thinking: "They are all top-notch works!"

"So which movie do you think I should compete for the leading actress?"

When Yang Ying asked this question, Huang Xiaoming was speechless for a long time.

"Eternal Love" will hold a formal press conference for its own project tomorrow, and the list of invited guests includes all the top actresses in the circle.

As for "Princess Agents", there is no reason for Feiyue Films to use its own project as a favor.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Yang Ying will probably return empty-handed this time. After all, her competitiveness is not that strong.

Over the years, all the film and television projects that have come through her hands have been obtained through connections and favors.

But projects like "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love" cannot be obtained by trading in favors.
Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Baby, you'd better not have too high expectations."

"Huh?" Yang Ying's eyes widened immediately. "What do you mean by that? I'm a top actress after all. Don't I even have competitiveness?"

"That's not the case. The point is that I heard that Alibaba has been in contact with Liu Yifei."

Hearing this name, Yang Ying was speechless.

She really has no competitiveness in front of the only Cannes Film Festival queen, female box office record holder, and female capital in the domestic entertainment industry.

However, she still murmured unconvincedly: "Humph, how do you know if you don't try? Maybe I will win..."

By the end of her words, Yang Ying's voice had become lower and lower, and her confidence was becoming weaker and weaker.

……

In the morning, netizens were still immersed in the rumors from Feiyue Pictures and Alibaba Pictures that "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love" would be competing head-on, but by the afternoon, the internet was full of discussions about "Tiny Times 4".

As expected, Guo Xiaosi still gave everyone a big shit!
"At the beginning, we laughed 'hahaha' for 20 minutes, and then there was the longest crying scene in history, 70 minutes of broadcast, crying in succession, crying on split screen, crying together, crying with background music, crying again with background music, ghosts crying, gods howling, hearts broken, the Great Wall collapsing... Then there was another 5 minutes of 'hahaha', we still don't separate, and then there was the most convenient and cheapest fire effect in history, 10 seconds.

The last 8 minutes of "long shot" review the first three parts, and the ending is confusing for those who are not fans of the original novel. The profiteer Guo wants you to buy the original novel if you don't understand it, so don't go to the cinema to watch this bad movie!"

"There is no movie like this! From the beginning to the end, it's all about comparing food, clothes, wealth, beauty, and handsomeness. A few women quarreled! The movie was over! This is simply misleading young people!"

"Amber Kuo is pretty good. She has many important scenes and her performance is quite good. The rhythm is slightly better than the previous three films. This is the only bright spot in the whole film."

"Oh my god! This crappy movie is finally finished! I don't have to watch those people on the Internet bragging about how good this movie is anymore. I'm so happy."

"After watching Tiny Times 4 with my girlfriend, while she and her friends were crying, I started to think, if Jue Ji is like this movie, how could it dare to shout out the slogan of being on par with The Lord of the Rings?"

"Who would believe Xiao Si? Who is such a fool!"

"Congratulations, another terrible movie has finally finished, it's worth celebrating!"
