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

Chapter 833: Public opinion crisis? Not worth mentioning... What? Journey to the West universe? Investiture of the Gods universe?
"Wang Baoqiang is suspected of terminating his contract with Feiyinghuang Agency due to salary reasons", "One person will be absent from the third season of Running Man", "The producers of Running Man have started looking for new regular guests"...

When a large number of entries and hot searches related to Wang Baoqiang, Running Man, etc. appeared on Weibo, the relevant information about the Venice International Film Festival was suddenly suppressed to the bottom.

That's Wang Baoqiang! He is an absolute veteran artist of Feiyinghuang Entertainment Company!

"Soldier Assault", "Lost on Journey", "Lost in Thailand", "Hello! Mr. Tree", "One Man's Martial Arts", "Detective Chinatown", "Running Man"...

Looking around, it is no exaggeration to say that all the honors Wang Baoqiang has today are due to his hard work with Chen Fei.

Along the way, with the help of Chen Fei, he has been smooth sailing and has never lacked film and television resources and commercial endorsements.

But such a talented actor who was favored by the whole circle, with a simple mind, honest and simple character, actually lost contact with his old boss!

Less than half an hour after the relevant news information appeared, Wang Baoqiang's Weibo was flooded with comments.

Looking around, the comments are so chaotic!
"Baoqiang! You are so confused! How can you terminate the contract because of salary? How much money is considered a lot?"

"No, brother, please stop it. Terminating your contract with the company and quitting Running Man, did that make Director Chen angry? Is he going to ban you?"

"Haha, I knew that this kind of person who looks honest actually has more schemes than anyone else."

"It's over. This wave is over. People can lift you up, but they can also step on you."

"Go and beg Director Chen for mercy. What will we do without you?"

"No, is Chen Fei so cruel? Isn't it just terminating the contract with the company? Is it necessary to kick him out of the variety show? Should we just part ways and never see each other again?"

There was a lot of controversy online, and there was also a lot of heated discussion and attention in the industry.

Unlike the netizens who were just watching the show and doing some "analysis", a large number of other celebrities, actors, artistes, brokerage companies, etc., all set their sights on the vacant permanent guest spot.

Based on the popularity of the first two seasons, everyone has already concluded that this variety show is the most top-notch, luxurious, and fastest-growing resource and top channel in the industry.

Especially with the end of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", "Running Man" has become the top variety show in the circle.

And the spot as a permanent guest is priceless!

"What? Wang Baoqiang was kicked out of Running Man?"

On the Guangguang side, Wang Changtian became excited as soon as he received the news.

He did not choose to confirm with Chen Fei, but called Gu Yongqiang directly.

"Mr. Gu? Is the news online true? Has Wang Baoqiang withdrawn from the recording of the third season of Running Man?"

As an investor, Guangguang naturally had the right to know this news, so Gu Yongqiang did not hide it from him: "Yes, he did withdraw from the recording of the third season, but..."

Before he could finish explaining, Wang Changtian interrupted him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for telling me. I have something else to do. Let's do this for now. We can go out for dinner sometime."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

On the other side, Gu Yongqiang was confused when he heard the busy tone on his phone: "Hey? What's going on? He clearly had other plans, but how come the media said he was kicked out by the production team? It's really true that three people make a tiger!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the office door and the secretary walked in quickly.

Before Gu Yongqiang could speak, the secretary said directly: "Boss Gu, the person you want is here and is in the reception room now.

Please go down and take a look. The female employees in the company are going crazy. They have even stopped working and are blocking the reception room to watch..."

"Hmm?" Gu Yongqiang raised his eyebrows slightly: "As expected of the most popular 'fresh meat' at the moment, he is quite popular.

Come on, lead the way, I have to go meet this guy, I hope he can be like Zhang Yixing in Go Fighting, and bring more young audiences and fans to Running Man. "

As the secretary walked out, he asked curiously, "I heard that his agent offered a very high price, but our third season of investment promotion has already ended. Will it have any impact?"

"Haha? The offer is very high?" Gu Yongqiang curled his lips and said, "Firstly, he has no popular film and television works, and secondly, his acting skills are not very good. The reason why he is so popular now is because of the boy band.

In this case, Running Man is his best choice. If he dares to falsely quote a high price, he is simply courting his own death.”

The secretary nodded when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little expectant.

"Running Man" is already so popular now. If a top idol like Lu Han joins the show, won't the popularity increase even more?

……

When Chen Fei received Wang Changtian's call, he had just finished a phone call with the company's public relations director.

It has to be said that with the development of the Internet, the cost of spreading rumors has become lower and lower, especially for those unscrupulous media, whose level of making groundless rumours is getting higher and higher.

"Hello? Mr. Wang?"

"Boss Chen!" As soon as the call was connected, Wang Changtian said quickly, "I heard that a permanent guest spot on Running Man has been vacated?"

"Yes, that's right." There is nothing to hide, and it has already been exposed on the Internet, so it can't be concealed even if you want to.

After receiving Chen Fei's personal confirmation, Wang Changtian couldn't help but get excited: "Then what do you think of Bao Bei'er from our company? I think he's just the right guy to take over. He has a great talent for comedy."

As the current "number one" of Guangguang, Bao Bei'er has actually played many roles, but he just lacks an opportunity to truly "break the circle".

In Wang Changtian’s view, "Running Man" is just a good opportunity!

However, Chen Fei on the other end of the phone had a conflicted expression.

To be honest, he had a really bad impression of that Guangguang No. 1.

It would be fine if he just had a big bald head, but he also looked fawning when he smiled. He had no good looks and no acting skills. I don't know how Wang Changtian fell in love with him.

After thinking for a while, Fade Chen still did not agree directly: "How about this, Mr. Wang, you should hand over Bao Beier's information to Youku first.

Gu Yongqiang is currently conducting a selection. If the results show that Bao Bei'er is suitable to be a permanent guest, then he will be chosen.

But if it's not suitable, then I'm sorry. After all, we can't affect the ratings and popularity of the show because of the choice of guests, right?"

"Okay, I understand."

Although he was a little disappointed that he failed to get a permanent guest spot for Bao Bei'er, Wang Changtian could understand it.

After all, Guangxian is just one of the investors, not the main controller, so the specific judgment will have to be made by Youku.

This variety show is so crucial, as it concerns the selection of permanent guests. How can it be decided in such a trivial manner?

……

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen took another look at the latest clarification announcement released by Feiyue Films and the "Running Man" production team.

Both companies responded to the incident as quickly as possible, with the aim of stopping the rumors online.

But! This matter is not over yet!

After opening the phone book and searching through it, Chen Fei called someone he hadn't contacted for a long time.

As soon as the call was connected, he ordered: "Use the backend technical means to find out which media outlets are stirring up trouble and deliberately leading the trend?

After finding it, I immediately blocked the account! They dared to touch the Tai Sui, what a shame! "

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll arrange it right away."

……

In the past, when a celebrity or a film and television company was involved in a scandal or a public relations crisis, they would almost always choose to suppress the heat at the first opportunity, use water armies to clean up the situation, and then use the power of "time" to dissipate the heat.

It is extremely rare for Feiyue Films and the "Running Man" project team to come out and clarify at the first opportunity!

Official blog of Running Man:
"Recently, the program team has noticed that the Internet is paying close attention to the changes in the regular guests of Running Man. Today, we have officially released an announcement: Due to personal work reasons, Mr. Wang Baoqiang has indeed confirmed that he will leave the recording of the third season;

Note: The two sides parted ways amicably and there is no conflict. We also ask certain media to stop spreading rumors and false news!"

Feiyue Films:

"Recently, our company has noticed many false rumors about us and Mr. Wang Baoqiang appearing online, and now we would like to clarify:

1: There is no conflict between us and Mr. Wang Baoqiang regarding salary.

2: Mr. Wang Baoqiang chose not to renew his contract with Feiyinghuang Agency for personal reasons. We will unconditionally support his choice and future development. 3: Mr. Wang Baoqiang withdrew from the recording of the third season of "Running Man" mainly because "Detective Chinatown 2" will start filming during the National Day holiday. As the protagonist, he cannot take care of both at the same time, so he decided to separate from "Running Man".

Two consecutive announcements, one from the "Running Man" program team and the other from Feiyue Films.

Looking at it, the cause and effect are explained very clearly without any contradictions.

In order to prevent the outside world from continuing to conduct "conspiracy theory" analysis, Feiyue Films even went so far as to announce the preparation plan for "Detective Chinatown 2" in advance, and confirmed that Wang Baoqiang will still be the male lead.

With a few interventions, online rumors are self-defeating.

What followed was an announcement released by Wang Baoqiang’s newly established studio, which once again responded to online rumors and numerous doubts.

Wang Baoqiang himself directly posted the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" and the actor contracts he had just signed.

Faced with such overwhelming evidence, there are finally no more “analysis parties,” “rumor-mongering parties,” or “hearsay parties” on the Internet.

"Well, it's true that three people make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can make gold melt. Bao Qiang just came out to develop on his own and opened a studio, but in your mouths, we have split up!"

“Congratulations to Baoqiang Studio for a prosperous and smooth future!”

"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! There's actually a second part to Detective Chinatown. You guys hid it really well!"

"Hahaha, I'm so happy. I didn't expect that the rumor would actually lead to a bombshell news. Tang Ren, Qin Feng... I miss you guys so much."

"I'm quite curious, who will replace Wang Baoqiang as the new permanent guest? I'm afraid a bunch of artists in the circle will fight for this opportunity, right?"

……

The online turmoil soon calmed down, and netizens' attention was shifted elsewhere. No one noticed that as many as twenty media accounts had disappeared from Weibo.

The media circle is in chaos right now.

"I protest! I want to expose it! Why did Weibo block our account?"

"Exactly. Why? We didn't do anything wrong. We just reposted some false news. Is this against the law?"

"You're a big store and you're bullying your customers, right? Great! You guys are awesome, can't we just stop hanging around on your Weibo?"

"Haha, what a bunch of idiots, how dare you spread such rumors? Don't you even check whose backyard Weibo is?"

"Do you really think Mr. Chen's status as a Weibo shareholder is just for show? I can't scare you to death!"

"A bunch of self-media accounts dare to make such noises here? If you have the guts, go and fight on Weibo."

"Tsk tsk, the authority dog ​​is really awesome! He blocks the account right away!"

……

There was no stir in the media circle.

A group of people were just shouting there. If we really ask them to cause trouble for Feiyue Films, that would be like teasing a tiger and they would be courting death!
After all, Chen Fei's deployment on social platforms and major entertainment news websites is not something that a few media outlets can stir up.

ByteDance is on the verge of rising. This inconspicuous company contains enormous energy, enough to suppress many jumping clowns!
Just one day later, the news on the Internet had changed dramatically.

"This morning, Feiyue Films announced that preparations for Detective Chinatown 2 are in full swing, and the original cast will return to New York to recreate the hilarious and suspenseful detective stories."

"The project team of "Running Man" has released an announcement to welcome actors, artists and management companies in the industry to submit their resumes and compete for new permanent guests."

"Wang Baoqiang Studio is officially established! The first project is "Detective Chinatown 2" in cooperation with Feiyue Films."

"All members of the "Old Cannon" crew returned to the capital, and hundreds of fans showed up at the airport to welcome them."

"According to insiders, LeTV Pictures will soon open its financing channels to the entire entertainment industry and officially start preparations for listing."

……

"Oh, Boss Jia is planning to target me?"

Inside the office, Fade Chen looked at the invitation to the financing reception that his assistant brought over with disdain on his face.

He is not as stupid as others who would be fooled by Boss Jia.

According to industry gossip, so far, Boss Jia has already attracted a number of mainland first-line celebrities including Zhang Yimou, Guo Jingming, Deng Chao, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Zhao Yanzi and others to officially join his "LeTV Pictures listing" project.

It is no exaggeration to say that the resources these people can leverage are at least over ten digits!

In the end, if nothing unexpected happens, all this money will fall into Boss Jia's pocket and become the initial capital for him to realize his "dream".

But then again, in terms of "not cheating ordinary people", Boss Jia has done a pretty good job.

He seems to only cut big leeks and rarely touches the small leeks like Huayi.

"Maybe you don't like the benefits brought by the little leeks?"

Chen Fei was muttering to himself when there was a knock on the office door. He could vaguely see two figures appear outside the door.

"come in."

As his voice rang out, Li Yang and Yang Yu, the two leaders of Feiyue Film and Television's animation department, walked in from outside the door.

However, when he saw the current state of the two, Fade Chen was stunned!

"Wow? Did you two just come out of the primeval forest?"

It’s no wonder he said that, it’s just that the two of them are acting too much like savages.

He has an untidy beard, a greasy face, and a strange smell... He is simply a wild man!

Li Yang chuckled: "No, no, I was just writing a new script during this period, and I happened to be in a better state, so I didn't have time to take care of myself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately asked curiously, "I heard from President Su that you are studying the story of White Snake? Are you planning to develop a new animation film project based on White Snake?"

"That's right." Yang Yu said at this time: "We plan to expand around the characters of White Snake and Xu Xian and create a story that combines love, family affection, and salvation..."

Yang Yu is very talented in language expression, and it didn't take long for him to explain in detail the project that the animation department was creating.

After listening to his words, Fade Chen chuckled and nodded slightly, approving of their adaptation direction: "This story sounds great. I really hope that one day you can successfully make it happen."

After saying that, he leaned over, opened the drawer, and took out a script that had been prepared long ago.

"This is the latest animation script I prepared for you. You can also develop this script while you are creating White Snake."

Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other subconsciously and looked over curiously.

There are seven words written on the cover of the script:
"Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World"!
While the two were curiously reading the script, Chen Fei's voice kept lingering in their ears:

"This story is based on The Investiture of the Gods, but it is different from The Investiture of the Gods. It weakens the conflict between father and son, strengthens the relationship between family, friendship, and master and apprentice, and focuses on "resisting fate" as the main plot...

My personal idea is that while you are expanding "Green Snake", you can also pay attention to "Fengshen", after all, the latter also contains a rich character system.

If all goes well, we can even create the "Journey to the West Universe" and the "Fengshen Universe" around the two huge worldviews of "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Universe". After all, this is a huge treasure house that is no weaker than the Marvel system!
Once it can be excavated, the wealth and copyright resources contained in it will be an endless treasure trove that can never be used up, and can even expand indefinitely..."

Listening to Chen Fei's words, Li Yang and Yang Yu's mentality changed from initial doubt and questioning to strong expectation and hope!

If Chen Fei's idea can really be realized, then why worry about the rise of domestic animated films?

It is not impossible to even go global!

Just when the two were still immersed in the "grand plan" that Chen Fei had just mentioned, they heard another voice in their ears: "Oh, by the way, you will need to connect with a company called 'Game Science' later.

They are planning to make a AAA game based on the theme of Journey to the West, which requires a lot of manpower to support. You can just give them the materials of The Monkey King: Hero is Back."

"OK, no problem."

The two of them agreed with a dazed look on their faces, feeling as if they were hallucinating.

A 3A game based on 'Journey to the West'?

What is this?
The two only knew that Chen Fei had invested in miHoYo a long time ago, but this "Game Science" company seemed to be the first time they heard of it?
