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

Chapter 827 Feng Xiaogang sheds tears on the red carpet of Venice International Film Festival...

September 9st is here in a flash!

While Chen Fei was preparing for his latest extreme challenge in New York, the domestic film and television industry had already become lively.

The main reason is that the Venice Film Festival will open tomorrow.

The domestic entertainment industry is very lively at the moment, with many film crews heading straight to Venice.

The domestic media are the happiest these two days, especially those reporters who are waiting at the airport. They can see a large number of stars and artists appearing at the airport almost every day, which has enabled them to accumulate a lot of material.

Related reports are currently on Weibo's hot search list:

"At 8 o'clock in the morning, Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi Group, led all the crew members of the movie "Old Cannon" to the airport, ready to leave for Venice to participate in the 72nd Venice International Film Festival."

"In an interview with reporters, Wang Zhonglei said that Mr. Six will surely shine in Venice this time!"

"Actors including Feng Xiaogang, Guan Hu, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, Wu Yifan, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Liang Jing, Shang Yuxian and others all appeared at the airport. In an interview, they said that Mr. Six will definitely represent domestic films and become the most beautiful scenery of this Venice Film Festival!"

"Director Zhao Liang and the crew of "The Sad Monster" appeared at the airport. This will be the first domestic documentary film to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice."

"Cai Mingliang and Li Kangsheng have arrived at the Venice Film Festival smoothly with the crew members of "That Afternoon"."

While Chen Fei was busy, he watched the domestic news and felt speechless.

Other films shortlisted for the main competition unit did not hold any farewell ceremonies, but "Old Cannon" held a farewell ceremony for its fans at the airport, which was simply a no-holds-barred pursuit of popularity.

A film that has only been shortlisted for the screening unit, and it's still unknown whether the copyright can be sold at a high price, has now created such a big fuss, and are not afraid of being laughed at.

And there is Hou Xiaoxian, who was merely one of the judges of the main competition unit of this year's Venice International Film Festival, but he actually issued a press release saying that he has become some kind of "film master"!
Foreign media may still give some support, but domestic media and netizens are now full of ridicule.

"The ancient costume martial arts film "The Assassin" directed by Hou Xiaoxian and starring Shu Qi, Zhang Zhen, and Satoshi Tsumabuki has been released for 6 days and the total box office is reported to be 3256 million. Both the box office potential and the film's reputation have plummeted."

"Hou Hsiao-hsien's first creative martial arts film was intended to find a new way out for domestic martial arts films. Unfortunately, due to the poor plot, the film is obscure and difficult to understand..."

"The ancient charm of the Tang Dynasty, the tranquility of mountains and rivers, the flowing water and clouds, the sound of birds and the piano, the minimalist martial arts, and the screen full of Chinese elements, this kind of movie should be classified as a documentary film, and should not be shown in theaters."

The media reports were relatively fair, but netizens were merciless:

"This is such a rubbish movie, I can't even watch it, it makes me feel uncomfortable. How dare you call yourself a master of film? Haha, I just laughed."

"This is the only movie I fell asleep during so far. Not many people stayed in the theater until the end. I had no idea what they were talking about the whole time. It was rubbish."

"I couldn't understand it. About an hour in, I looked to the right and saw a row of people playing with their phones. This shows that everyone's aesthetic taste is actually quite consistent. As for the title of 'film master', I don't agree with it anyway."

With the increasing development of the Internet, coupled with the popularity of smart phones and various apps, the number of Internet users has now reached an exaggerated level!
This also means that if a movie is particularly bad, the number of negative reviews will be terrifying!

For example, the recently removed "Bride Wars" almost drove Yang Ying into autism due to the criticism.

If it weren't for "The Assassin" sharing some of the firepower, she would probably still be being "ridiculed by the entire network".

At Shanghai Film Group, Ren Zhonglun looked at the "bad review fire" from netizens on Weibo, and recalled the attacks and insults that "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" had encountered not long ago, and he couldn't help but become worried.

"Railroad Tigers is a mainstream film after all. I think it won't be as unlucky as The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain when it's released next year, right?"

He muttered to himself, feeling unsure in his heart.

After all, this movie features Prince Dragon, and his role is no less than that in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

"Alas, how come Chen Long's fame was ruined by his son?"

……

In the vast western United States, the Salt Lake City Cliffs in Utah has become a holy place in the hearts of extreme motorcycle off-road enthusiasts with its steep terrain, complex natural environment and unpredictable climate.

On September 9, accompanied by bright sunshine, Chen Fei and the Red Bull team arrived at this dangerous desert area.

The starting point for everyone was a huge valley.

The geological structure in the valley is very complex, the ground is extremely undulating, there is no grass, and there are jagged rocks. The land full of gullies and wild desert covers the entire area.

In the eyes of ordinary people, such a desolate place is completely uninhabited and no one would come to such a deserted place.

However, Chen Fei is going to carry out his latest challenging mission here.

According to the system requirements, he needs to cross the rocky Gobi desert in front of him and fly over the cliff at the end to the stone pillar opposite!
This is extremely similar to the opening scene in the movie "Point Break".

Of course, the challenge mission is not today, but two days later. His main task today is to familiarize himself with the terrain to ensure that he will not get lost while driving a motorcycle in subsequent challenges.

"The temperature is a bit high today!"

Flory wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wet tissue, looking at the endless rugged mountains in the distance, and felt a little weak.

It was just that Chen Fei was brave. If he were asked to come to this place to ride an off-road motorcycle, he probably wouldn't be able to walk even a hundred meters.

"Well, the temperature is indeed a bit high."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement, and without wasting any more time, he directly started the drone that had been prepared long ago.

As the drone took off, the overall picture of the cliff area gradually emerged in his eyes.

At first, it was just a series of rugged gullies and complex terrain with ups and downs.

But as the yellow sand flew, a huge natural rock wall appeared in the picture, and it extended out to form a huge slope, like a giant's arm breaking out of the ground.

This iconic location is also the origin of the name "Moya".

The drone continued to move forward, and a cliff with a huge drop appeared in the picture. About fifty meters away from the edge of the cliff, there stood a huge stone pillar that was gradually weathering!

The destination of Chen Fei's challenge was exactly the top of the stone pillar!

"A leap of nearly 50 meters? It seems that a very fast initial speed is required, and the distance must be accurately grasped, otherwise it is very likely to fall down if you are not careful..."

As he murmured, Flory felt more sweat on his forehead.

He subconsciously prepared to speak out to persuade Chen Fei, but he stopped when the words came to his lips.

In the past few years, every time Chen Fei proposed to take on an extreme sports challenge, he would persuade him, but to no avail.

The challenge will continue, but Chen Fei has always turned a deaf ear to his words of persuasion.

It’s better not to say anything. Just go back and pray to God for help.

More than half an hour later, Chen Fei took the drone back.

"Let's go back to the hotel first. I need some time to adjust. We will officially start the challenge at 9 am the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Flory responded, turned to look at his assistant, and ordered: "Contact the headquarters and issue the announcement."

"Okay, Boss!"

……

In the eyes of people in the entire film and television industry, the biggest hot search on September 9 should be the Venice International Film Festival which is currently holding its opening ceremony.

However, what no one expected was that the popularity of the Venice International Film Festival was actually suppressed by two trending searches that appeared one after another on Weibo.

Early in the morning, Wang Feng and Zhang Ziyi announced that they would fly to Los Angeles today to prepare for the birth of their baby.

As soon as this announcement came out, the female stars in the domestic entertainment industry were all delighted. You know, compared to male actors, the blooming period of female actors is fixed.

Once you reach a certain age or stage, you can’t pretend to be younger even if you want to (except Liu Xiaoqing).

Zhang Ziyi's trip to the United States to give birth has a huge impact on her career.

From confinement to the hundred days, more than three months have passed.

Then there is the preparation for childbirth and the need to recover her physical condition... In other words, it will take her at least half a year before she can appear in public again.

It is no exaggeration to say that the impact this period had on her was terrible!

It is still unknown whether he can return to the top ranks after his return half a year later.

After realizing this, people in the industry and netizens were filled with emotion: "This is definitely true love! Willing to sacrifice one's acting career to have children for the other half, this dedication is so selfless."

For a time, many people in the circle left messages in the comment section, wishing her a successful delivery.

The heat and topic related to "going to the United States to give birth" continued until noon, and was then suppressed by a notice issued by Red Bull.

"On September 9th, at the Cliffside District in Salt Lake City, Utah, we will take part in the extreme off-road motorcycle challenge!

——Challenger: Chen Fei"

The content of the notice was so brief that many people were confused when they first read it.

But then, when Red Bull released the promotional video recorded in the Cliffside area of ​​Salt Lake City, Utah, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet!
Looking around, you can see the continuous mountains and towering terrain like ancient walls, guarding the mysterious desert area where no grass grows.

Looking down from a high place, it seems that nature has carved out a series of breathtaking paintings with its magical power.

The peaks are sharp and reach straight into the sky, as if they are about to pierce the sky.

The canyons between the mountains are deep, like cracks in the earth, and are daunting.

The city is complex and crisscrossed, and every step is full of unknowns and challenges!

The rocks there are hard and peculiar. After billions of years of weathering and erosion, they have formed various strange shapes.

Some are like dormant giant beasts, some are like eagles soaring in the sky, and each one is full of power and tension of life.

Between these rocks, sand and gravel are intertwined, forming a complex and changeable surface environment, which is sometimes soft like mud and sometimes hard like iron.

At the same time, the climate in this rugged terrain is unpredictable.

Under the scorching sun, the surface temperature rises suddenly, as if being in a furnace; and in a blink of an eye, dark clouds cover the sky and heavy rain pours down, as if being in a flooded country.

This extreme climate change has further exacerbated the ruggedness of the terrain.

However, what no one expected was that in the announcement released by Red Bull, Chen Fei was actually going to drive a motorcycle and take on an extreme off-road motorcycle challenge on this rugged mountain road!

For a while, the Internet exploded again, and the heated discussions were like boiling water, boiling wildly!

"Well, are you ready to commit suicide again?"

"Sure enough, Director Chen is never willing to be lonely. He takes on extreme challenges once a year and never stops!"

"What the hell? I suddenly realized that this might be a unique way for Director Chen to find creative inspiration. Otherwise, if he is so rich, why would he pursue such excitement?"

"I think it's very likely, too. 9 a.m. on September 4, right? I'll set an alarm so I don't miss it. There seems to be a time difference between North America and China. Damn, don't get confused."

"Haha, I'm so happy. The popularity of the Venice International Film Festival was suppressed by Director Chen. Feng Xiaogang even shed tears on the red carpet, but no one paid attention to it..."

……

Chen Fei did not read the heated discussions online because he was being "tried" by Liu Yifei.

"Didn't you tell me that you were just going to New York to sign a contract? Why are you doing that Go Fighting game again?"

On the phone, although Miss Liu's voice was angry, it was more filled with worry and fear.

She didn't even dare to finish watching the video released by Red Bull, and only watched half of it. When she thought about her boyfriend riding a motorcycle in such a dangerous place, she couldn't help but worry about it.

"By the way, I'm the Red Bull spokesperson after all. I can't just take the money and not do anything... Actually, there's nothing dangerous. It's just that the terrain looks steep in the video... And I'm just riding a motorcycle. If I can't do it, I'll stop. You don't have to worry..."

After comforting her for nearly half an hour, Chen Fei finally managed to dispel Liu Yifei's worries.

"Don't worry, you know my strength. I will go back after the challenge on the 4th is over. I have also prepared a gift for you..."

After another half an hour, Liu Yifei was finally coaxed into calm down.

Of course, it cannot be said that he was completely coaxed. At best, he was only half-believing and half-doubting.

She will also watch the entire challenge. If she gets scared, Chen Fei will definitely be bitten when she returns!
Miss Liu's teeth are extremely good!
……

Time continued until the 3rd, when news about the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival finally appeared on major domestic entertainment news websites.

However, the piece of news that ranked first on the hot search list made many netizens and people in the circle couldn't help laughing.

"At 4:72 p.m. Beijing time, the nd Venice International Film Festival officially opened. On the red carpet, all the cast members of "Old Cannon" appeared. Facing the interview with reporters, Feng Xiaogang shed tears on the red carpet and cried about how difficult the journey to win awards over the years was..."

Chen Fei was so happy watching this news that he couldn't straighten his back for a long time.

The little steel cannon really showed his temper this time, and even complained about the unfairness of domestic awards to him in front of the global media. It was really heart-breaking!
But everyone can actually understand it. After all, the Golden Rooster Awards had already fooled him several times before.

Moreover, up to now, he has not even won a single award at an international award ceremony, which is probably one of the reasons for his crying and grief.

"It seems that after Venice, Feng Xiaogang is going to make an award-winning film!"

Fade Chen murmured, already having some guesses in his mind.

After turning his attention away from the Venice International Film Festival, a number of domestic news items once again drew his attention back.

"The new costume martial arts film "The Assassin" directed by Hou Xiaoxian and starring Shu Qi, Zhang Zhen, and Satoshi Tsumabuki has been released for a week and its box office potential has been exhausted. It has been completely removed from the shelves by theaters, with a total box office of 6109 million."

"The comedy, action and adventure film Kung Fu Yoga, directed by Tong Kee-lai and starring Chen Long, with Lee Chi-yen, Zhang Yixing, Disha Patani and others participating in the filming, officially started shooting this afternoon."

"It is reported that the movie Kung Fu Yoga is the second collaboration between director Tong Kee-lai and Chen Long after 11 years since The Myth. The movie can be called the sequel to The Myth."

"The musical drama "Office" directed by Johnnie To and starring a stellar cast including Chow Yun-fat, Sylvia Chang, and Tang Wei, grossed 1500 million on its first day of release, and its reputation collapsed across the board!"

"The war history blockbuster "Cairo Declaration" starring Hu Jun, Liu Jialing and Han Yu was officially released today."

"To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the capital will hold a grand commemorative event today, including a commemorative meeting, a military parade, a reception and a cultural evening. This is also the first time that a military parade is held in China on a day other than the National Day on October 10.

The film "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" was officially released today as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War! "

"The Disguiser" is a suspenseful spy drama exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and starring Hu Ge, Jin Dong, Liu Mintao, Wang Kai and others.

Within three days of its launch, it topped the TV drama ratings chart in 50 cities, with the average daily ratings exceeding 2%.

Up to now, the total number of online broadcasts of "The Disguiser" has reached 4 million, making it the only anti-Japanese spy drama to be listed in the top 10 of the half-year list of TV dramas broadcast on the entire network!

Feiyue Film and Television has added another masterpiece to its journey of “making films and TV series high-quality”! ”
