It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 829: Taro's father is dead! Double happiness!
Chapter 829: Taro's father is dead! Double happiness!
Whenever he encountered a system challenge task and received rewards, it was always Chen Fei's happiest moment.
This feeling of being rewarded for your own efforts is even better than sharing the profits after the movie is released in theaters!
On the way back to New York after the challenge in the Cliffside District, Fade Chen chatted with Florian about the feeling of riding an off-road motorcycle while checking the rewards given by the system.
The rewards for SS-level tasks are almost fixed.
If you can get two blind boxes, one of them must contain a script.
But if there is only one blind box, then it depends on luck.
Fortunately, after completing the task, the system continues to give double blind box rewards.
First of all, there are still five scripts, namely: "Operation Red Sea", "La La Land", "Venom: Let There Be Carnage", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", and "The Founding of an Army".
Looking around, these were all scripts that Chen Fei was familiar with in his previous life, and they were all the best of the best!
I have to say, these things produced by the system never seem to fail.
However, the script that came out of the other blind box surprised Chen Fei.
[Vocal Mastery: Lv5]
He vaguely remembered that when he first entered the entertainment industry, he had already obtained a Lv2 vocal mastery skill, and the system also rewarded him with a song.
However, since then, he has focused on being an actor, and even now a director and producer, and has never thought about getting into the music industry.
Therefore, since then, the system has no longer provided him with relevant skills in vocal music.
And now, suddenly there is a [Vocal Mastery: Lv5], is it that they are planning to let him get into the music industry?
"Go sing?"
Thinking of this, Fade Chen immediately shook his head.
He had no interest in joining the same circle with people like "Wang Banbi" and "Na Ma Hu". Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Fei, what you just said is that you are going to make a movie based on 'extreme sports'?"
Flory's voice suddenly rose, directly pulling Chen Fei back from his distracted thinking about other things.
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Fei suddenly realized that he had unknowingly spoken out the outline of the script of "The Thief".
He had already obtained this script from the system a long time ago, and had already modified nearly half of it. It wouldn't be long before he could get the completed project book out to Natasha for filing.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen did not continue to hide it: "Yes, I do have this idea, and I have already written half of the script."
"Haha, great! This is really great! No one has ever used 'extreme sports' as the subject matter to make a movie. You are the first in the world."
Flory talked to himself excitedly, his eyes full of expectation: "Fei, you must promise me that you must invite me to make a cameo appearance during the filming of this movie, even if it's just a car repairman."
Chen Fei immediately smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can't run away. I will contact Red Bull as soon as this project is confirmed. Your assistance will be indispensable during the filming."
"No problem!" Flory patted his chest and said, "No matter what kind of help you need, I will do my best!"
"Well, thank you in advance."
As a movie based on "extreme sports", it certainly requires the help of professional extreme athletes.
Once the project is confirmed, Chen Fei plans to invite Red Bull to be one of the investors to ensure that the film can be shot smoothly.
……
After returning to New York, Fade Chen said goodbye to Florian and others, and then stopped by Marvel Studios.
When I met Kevin Feige, he was busy arranging the distribution and release of "Ant-Man" and other related matters.
This film is the last one in Marvel's Phase 2015 plan and the last exclusive film project produced by Marvel Studios in .
After "Ant-Man" is finished, it will be followed by "Captain America 3: Civil War", "Doctor Strange", and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2".
This time, in addition to inspecting the progress of Marvel's work, Chen Fei also had another thing to inform Kevin Feige.
"Natasha's negotiations with Sony went smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, the Spider-Man series will officially return to the Marvel system starting next year."
"Oh! My God!" Kevin Feige was stunned: "He...they actually agreed? How...how is this possible?"
Chen Fei shrugged and said, "As you know, Sony's second installment of The Amazing Spider-Man failed, and they no longer have the confidence to continue developing the third installment.
As for the new development direction, how could it be so easily determined? After all, the budget for shooting each Spider-Man movie is never less than $2 million. "
Hearing this, Kevin Feige quickly realized: "Sony can no longer afford the possibility of failure?"
"Of course, they don't want to be the next MGM, do they?"
"Haha, yes, that's the truth."
Fade Chen put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "I'll assign you a task. As soon as the copyright of Spider-Man returns, immediately announce that Spider-Man will make a wonderful appearance in Avengers 3.
Also, Marvel will lead the development of the new Spider-Man series of movies. We are not Sony, we are not short of money, and we also have enough Marvel characters to collaborate with, so we will not disappoint the fans’ expectations.”
"Okay, Boss, I understand."
Kevin Fei remembered Chen Fei's words word for word.
Before leaving, Fade Chen added, "By the way? There is one more thing I need to remind you of."
"What?" Kevin Feige gave a puzzled look.
"20th Century Fox is on the decline, and Walton Pictures will make corresponding strategies for its company next."
"Huh!?" Hearing this, Kevin Feige suddenly became excited: "Are you going to take back the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" that Marvel previously sold to 20th Century Fox?"
"This is just one of them." Chen Fei suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that 20th Century Fox has been embroiled in antitrust lawsuits in recent years, and because of the promulgation of the Paramount Act, it has lost its theaters and is facing the dual pressures of market and technological reforms.
Coupled with the fact that his company often encountered setbacks in film investment, his financial situation has further deteriorated..."
Hearing this, Kevin Feige seemed to have guessed something, and his body even trembled slightly with excitement and surprise.
“So, the company wants to…”
Chen Fei said in a deep voice: "Yes, just as you thought, after discussing with Natasha, we are ready to implement the acquisition plan of 20th Century Fox!"
"Will this...will this work?"
Kevin Feige was a little confused. Is his boss so greedy that he actually wanted to acquire 20th Century Fox, one of the six major Hollywood studios, in the name of an independent production company?
This is simply too horrifying!
"How do you know if you don't try?" Chen Fei smiled, and he didn't doubt himself like Kevin Feige did.
He firmly believes that "where there is a will, there is a way" and nothing is impossible as long as you dare to think and dare to act.
20th Century Fox is indeed a behemoth. Even though its development has not been very good in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
However, no matter whether it is a "camel" or a "horse", as long as it has a price, you can definitely buy it!
If $500 billion isn’t enough, then $600 billion. If that doesn’t work, then $700 billion, $800 billion… Chen Fei doesn’t believe that those shareholders can hold on in the face of such a high price!
And the most important thing is that he doesn't need to spend his own money anyway.
There are so many leeks in the American family, and it won’t have any impact to cut a batch. Use their money to buy their company. Just thinking about it, Chen Fei couldn’t suppress his inner expectations.
……
After leaving Marvel, Fade Chen first asked his assistant to buy him a ticket back home, and then went straight to the property he bought in New York.
Although this place is not as big as the villa in Beverly Hills, the view is quite wide. After all, it is still a large flat.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, he first called Liu Yifei to report that he was safe, and then prepared to organize the scripts that were recently rewarded by the system.
But at this moment, Han Sanping called.
The first thing San Ye said was good news: "The first day box office results of 'The Hundred Regiments Offensive' are out, 5776 million RMB."
"so much?"
Chen Fei was slightly stunned and was indeed a little surprised.
You know, "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" is not a special main theme commercial film like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". The former is a very traditional main theme movie. In Chen Fei's expectation, it would be good enough if this movie can recover the production cost and gain a good reputation. He didn't think about making money from it at all.
But this box office result of 5776 million seems to indicate that this movie is aiming to make money!
The next second, Han Sanping helped him "solve the case": "This just happened to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. We received a lot of support from above."
Upon hearing this, Fade Chen suddenly understood.
What support can be given from above?
It’s nothing more than “booking the entire theater” and “scheduling films”.
"You're pretty lucky." Chen Fei joked.
Han Sanping suddenly sighed: "Alas, but this support comes at a price."
"Hmm?" Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What's the price?"
"The higher-ups wanted to make a tribute film for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, so I took on the task and asked for some benefits along the way."
"Okay." Chen Fei was immediately happy: "This is an equal exchange of resources!"
"That's about it." At this time, Han Sanping suddenly changed the subject: "It just so happens that you wrote the scripts for "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party". I'm going to give this new script to you!"
"Hey? Wasn't this task yours? Why did you put it on me?"
"He who can do it should work harder."
"There's no such thing as this kind of labor! The subject matter and content of the script are limited, and this is not something that can be done casually."
Han Sanping laughed. How could she not know what Chen Fei meant? "Don't worry, you will get something in return."
"Hmm?" Chen Fei's tone suddenly changed: "Then tell me, what are the benefits?"
"Hey? You kid!" Han Sanping said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "In that case, let me tell you some good news. I will go to the audit department after the beginning of next year and take over the job of consultant of Lu Chuan's father."
"Oh my god! This is good news, it's worth celebrating!"
"How is it? Can we write the script now? I can assure you that from now on, as long as Feiyue Films sends us a script or a movie, no one will dare to block the review unless it violates discipline. We will give it a green channel throughout the process. How about that?"
Chen Fei immediately patted his chest and said, "I guarantee that the script will be ready by the end of October at the latest!"
"Haha, okay, it's a deal."
“Once a word is spoken, it’s hard to chase it back!”
……
After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen still couldn't hide his excitement.
He really didn't expect that just after he ruined Lu Tailang's "comeback", Lu Tailang's father was laid off.
Isn’t this a double blessing? It’s worth opening a bottle of red wine to celebrate!
After taking out a wine glass from the wine cabinet, Chen Fei actually ran to open a bottle of red wine.
While waiting to sober up, he called the post-production department of "Ready Player One" and told them some of his requirements and arrangements.
The post-production of this film is destined to be a long way off, so it is naturally impossible for him to follow the entire process. He just needs to keep the general framework unchanged.
After the phone call, an hour passed quietly.
The red wine has also awakened at this time, and the faint fragrance is refreshing.
It was still early, so Fade Chen did not go to rest immediately. Instead, he leaned on the sofa in the living room and watched the recent hot events in the country.
September has only been over for a few days, but several major events have already emerged in the domestic entertainment industry!
The first thing to be affected was a sudden new regulation, which caused an uproar in the film and television and entertainment circles.
Looking around, the originally "orderly" industry has suddenly fallen into chaos and unrest in the past few days. Major film and television companies, entertainment companies and production companies have all turned their attention to Mango TV.
You know, as a leader in the mainland entertainment industry, Mango TV's reality show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has always attracted much attention.
However, the promulgation of new official regulations has dealt an unprecedented blow to the program!
The regulations clearly stipulate that from September, all child stars under the age of 9 are prohibited from participating in advertising endorsements and commercial performances.
This regulation is undoubtedly a heavy blow to "Where Are We Going, Dad?", a program whose core content is parent-child interaction!
With the implementation of the new regulations, the future of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" suddenly became full of uncertainty.
Because the guest families of the third season, which is about to end, can no longer use the "parent-child" relationship to obtain other benefits from the outside world.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire program.
But because of this, "Running Man" and "Go Fighting" have suddenly become more popular.
Especially for "Go Fighting Season 1", which has not yet concluded, the ratings have once again surged, and it has directly become the most popular phenomenal variety show in the second half of the year!
"Hey? The authorities actually took action to cut off Mango TV?"
Fade Chen raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
But he soon realized that the authorities were warning those in the entertainment industry not to use minors to gain improper benefits.
Especially that teacher Huang, he has absolutely no bottom line!
Although he is a teacher, he has shown completely different qualities in the film and television industry. He is even called "hypocritical" behind his back. He is really unlucky.
There was also the incident with the female staff member during the recording of the program, which is still used by many people to mock him.
In addition to the major event of the "official new regulations", Feng Xiaogang's actions in the past two days have also really surprised many people.
First, she burst into tears on the red carpet during the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival, complaining that it was not easy for her to win awards over the years.
Turning around, he actually started to criticize the domestic audience again, angrily denouncing netizens for giving bad reviews and low scores to "The Assassin".
“Director Hou Hsiao-hsien devoted eight years of hard work to this film, always putting the audience’s feelings first and striving to convey deep thoughts and emotions through every detail.
However, some viewers tried their best to belittle or even abuse the film because they couldn't understand it. I don't know what's going on in your heads?
If you don't like it, you can choose not to watch it. If you don't understand it, you can watch it several times. Why can't you watch the movie in a civilized manner, feel and evaluate it with your heart?
If you are stupid, then go and learn instead of talking nonsense here and making specious remarks..."
When these remarks appeared on Weibo, as expected, they immediately sent netizens into a frenzy!
"Damn, a bunch of beggars came to the mainland to beg for food from us, don't they even let us say a few words?"
"Fuck 'Whisper', you're so good, right? I'm going to curse, 'The Assassin' is just a bad movie, so what? Come back and bite me!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I suddenly remembered that some time ago, the media photographed Feng Xiaogang and Shu Qi having dinner together. Is this the old lovers getting back together?"
"It seems like he is defending The Assassin, but in fact he is speaking up for Shu Qi. The title 'Hu Shu Bao' is really appropriate!"
"I'm selling three sets of Shu Qi's sexy photos. You can use the photos to photoshop her and Feng Xiaogang together. If you're interested, please PM me."
"I want!"
"+1!"
"+1!"
……
To be honest, Chen Fei was really puzzled.
He really couldn't understand what kind of charm Shu Qi had that could attract Feng Xiaogang to such an extent? Why did he speak up for her so many times?
Previously, because of the dispute with Zhao Zhen, Feng Xiaogang had been scolded by netizens, and was even "awarded" the title of "Always".
But now he didn't learn any lesson and started speaking up for Shu Qi again.
Why is this happening?
If it's because of her appearance, Shu Qi's big mouth doesn't seem to have any advantage, and she is not a very beautiful female star.
"Could it be because of better technology?"
