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

Chapter 838 Wedding? Business? Are there any connections between the two? ...One wrong step! Every step is wrong!

"Operation Mekong, a crime and action film co-produced by Feiyue Films, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda, Light Media, Golden Shield and other companies, with Chen Fei as the director and lead actor, and Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Chen Baoguo, Xie Miao, Liu Shishi and others participating, has grossed 3 million yuan in box office revenue in three days since its release!"

"All members of the crew of Detective Chinatown 2 appeared at the airport and will go to Hollywood for filming."

"A reporter photographed Director Chen Fei's personal assistant appearing downstairs of the General Administration, predicting that Feiyue Films will make another big move..."

"The film Chasing the Dragon, co-produced by Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest and starring Andy Lau, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Kent Cheng, was officially announced to be completed today."

"The Hollywood blockbuster Mission: Impossible 5 has been withdrawn from theaters nationwide due to exhaustion of its box office potential, with a total box office of 8.35 million yuan."

……

As the latest entertainment and film and television news continue to emerge, colleagues in the film industry have discovered that there is only one imported animated film left in the current mainland film market!

As for other imported blockbusters, they have all been taken off the shelves.

However, even so, other domestic films are still struggling.

There is no other reason, it’s just because “Operation Mekong” is so fierce, so powerful, and so cruel!

The powerful box office siphoning effect directly suppressed a number of domestic films released during the same period, and they couldn’t even raise their heads!

After only three days of release, the box office has already reached 3 billion. How the hell is anyone going to catch up with this?

"The situation is now very clear. This National Day period will definitely be the period when Operation Mekong will take the lead, and if nothing unexpected happens, this movie will definitely get the key extension qualification.

With a full 60-day screening period, and the support of the ministry, and the fact that there is no competitor at the same time..."

After analyzing this, La Peikang can already draw the conclusion:

"The Chinese-language film market is about to see another top-notch film that will gross over 30 billion yuan!"

He was very glad that China Film Corporation could participate in the investment of this film. After all, this was Shui Lingling's political achievement and it was also the basis for him to secure his position.

However, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was sitting opposite him, could no longer sit still.

You know, the higher the box office of "Operation Mekong", the greater the losses of the theaters under Emperor Entertainment Group!
And the most important thing is that all the cinemas under Enlightenment were built by the company itself by purchasing land, and the merchants in the malls were also independently attracted and introduced by Enlightenment.

Now that customer traffic has dropped, cinema revenue has plummeted, and mall revenue has also plummeted...

In the end, this will be a catastrophic disaster!

"Mr. La, is there really nothing you can do over there?" He was unwilling to just sit there and wait for death, and wanted to try his best.

La Peikang spread his hands and said helplessly: "That guy doesn't give me any face now, and there's nothing I can do?"

"You are the chairman of China Film Corporation..." Jiang Zhiqiang was already getting anxious.

"Huh? Chairman of China Film?" La Peikang's face suddenly darkened. He was actually very dissatisfied with Chen Fei's behavior of not giving him face, but he really couldn't do anything about it now: "Feiyue Film and Television is not a small company. Do you think I can use my power to suppress others? Or do I use my influence to suppress others?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang fell silent.

Indeed, given the current size of Feiyue Film and Television, there is no need to give face to any mainland film and television company, even China Film.

"Let me show you a way. If you hurry to the headquarters now, there might be some hope. It's useless to stay here with me."

"Boss, I'll take my leave now."

With a grim face, Jiang Zhiqiang quickly walked out of the China Film Group Building.

So far, the share of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" has all belonged to China Film Group, which is also the price Jiang Zhiqiang paid for seeking help.

But the problem now is that even though he has paid an immeasurable price and resources, and even used the favors he had accumulated over the years, he still cannot even see Chen Fei.

This is very embarrassing!

It's obvious that they want to get you, but you don't even have the chance to resist or even explain.

For a moment, a deep feeling of powerlessness filled Jiang Zhiqiang's heart, almost swallowing him up completely!
"Director Jiang, where are we going now?"

"I'm going to go to the General Administration. I'm going to give it a try. There will definitely be a chance for improvement. Even if it means risking my reputation..."

Inside the villa.

"Little lazy cat, it's already 12 o'clock. How long do you plan to sleep? The sun is already shining from your butt to your head..."

On the bed in the bedroom, Chen Fei patted Liu Yifei's perky area, trying to wake her up and ask her to go downstairs to eat.

If it were a normal day, his behavior of taking advantage during the day would definitely attract Miss Liu's contempt and complaints.

However, today, Liu Yifei hugged the pillow and refused to move.

"Hey, if you're hungry, just go eat first. I don't want to get up. I still want to sleep. I'm so sleepy!"

Last night, the two of them went to the dance studio again to experience the "couple dance". They had so much fun that they didn't fall asleep until 4: in the morning.

Chen Fei has a good physique and recovers quickly, so he was full of energy again after only sleeping for 5 hours.

However, Liu Yifei had consumed a lot of energy while developing new postures, and she was unable to restore her sore legs to normal in a short period of time.

So, staying in bed and sleeping became her best choice.

"Or should I bring the meal to your bedroom?"

"I want to move."

"Then I'll feed you?"

"I don't want to chew."

"then you……"

"Hey, I need to sleep, please get out! Don't bother me anymore, it's all your fault, you made me so tired."

Faced with Liu Yifei, whose temper was completely irritated when she woke up, Chen Fei was quickly defeated and was "scolded" out of the bedroom in disgrace.

Helpless, he had to eat it himself.

While drinking porridge, he watched the news.

There is nothing worth paying attention to in terms of film and television information, because "Operation Mekong" is so strong and awesome that all the film and television news of the same period has been overshadowed.

The entertainment gossip scene is quite lively, with everyone discussing the preparations for Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's wedding.

Unlike the traditional wedding model of ordinary people, the wedding of these two people was more like a grand carnival.

Not only did they invite people from the media circle, they also worked closely with major brand sponsors to build momentum for the wedding.

From time to time, photos of wedding scenes are leaked online. Looking around, there are all kinds of high-end luxury and big brands... It is simply dazzling and overwhelming.

I don’t know which media outlet took the lead, but the “wedding of the century” suddenly popped up and was on the Weibo hot search list, attracting countless people to watch!

Looking around, many people inside and outside the circle have expressed their opinions and comments.

"Wow! I envy Yang Ying so much! Her husband loves her so much! They are truly a perfect couple."

"See, I said some time ago that Yang Ying is the most beautiful female star in the domestic entertainment industry. She deserves such a 'wedding of the century'!"

"My goodness, does a wedding need preheating? Looking for media, accepting endorsements, and soliciting investment, isn't it a bit too commercial?"

"The wedding of the century? Haha, I laughed at it."

"I wish the leader and Baby a happy wedding, everlasting happiness, a long life together, and never separation..."

After finishing a full bowl of porridge, Fade Chen walked towards the sink with the empty bowl in his hand. He couldn't help muttering, "As expected of a leader, a wedding can actually be linked to business? This is really eye-opening!"

……

At the same time, Film Bureau.

Tong Gang sat in his office chair, looking at Jiang Zhiqiang opposite him. His face had a calm expression and his emotions did not fluctuate at all.

On the contrary, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was sitting opposite, kept talking in a babble, sounding quite aggrieved, as if he had been bullied.

"Are you finished?"

Tong Gang suddenly spoke up, interrupting what he was saying.

Jiang Zhiqiang immediately made an even more aggrieved expression: "Director Tong, you must help me!" "How can you let me help you?" Tong Gang raised his head, looked him straight in the eyes, and asked: "Did Operation Mekong steal the box office? Or did it inflate the box office? Or did it do something illegal?

If you can explain the reason, I can arrange for someone to remove this movie from the shelves. Even banning, fining, or punishing it are not a problem.

But now they just don’t want their movies to appear in your theater chain, and it hasn’t caused any large-scale market fluctuations. How can I control this?”

The corners of Jiang Zhiqiang's mouth twitched. These words were so similar to what La Peikang had said before!

"But...if his movie doesn't show in our theaters, then we will suffer a huge loss. There are so many people waiting to make a living, we can't let them starve!"

Tong Gang felt very disdainful. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
"I'm sorry, I can't control this. Feiyue Films doesn't want to sell its products on the shelves of your Anle Cinema Line, but you can't force your way in, right? That would break the rules."

"But over at Pan Asia Cinemas..."

"Same reason." Tong Gang interrupted directly: "If they don't want to put your "products" on their "shelves", you have to negotiate with them. We have no right to control these things."

"..."

After staying there for half an hour and seeing that Tong Gang no longer paid any attention to him, Jiang Zhiqiang had no choice but to get up and leave.

Outside the door, the assistant and the driver came over and looked at him with concern.

"Director Jiang?"

"Well, let's go to the airport, go back to Hong Kong first and then think of a solution."

At this point, there is really no way anyone can help.

One wrong step leads to another, and now there is no turning back.

Jiang Zhiqiang no longer knows how to face the company's shareholders, because it is entirely his own fault that things have come to this point!
At this moment, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, Tong Gang was silently watching Jiang Zhiqiang's car driving towards the gate.

Things like favors and preferential treatment are limited and cannot be used at any time.

The first time, the General Administration only chose to issue warnings and impose fines, hoping that Enlight Pictures could turn back from its wrong path.

But in the end, Jiang Zhiqiang still stubbornly pushed the box office of "Monster Hunt" to 17 billion, which clearly showed that he did not take the above warnings seriously.

"In that case, then you should figure it out on your own this time. Enlightenment Pictures? Ha, whether in terms of influence or size, how can you compare with Feiyue Pictures?
In the future... supporting mainland companies is the right way to go. As for Hong Kong, haha, it depends on whether it can be as smart as Emperor Entertainment Group."

October 10, Sunday.

Chen Fei got up early in the morning, sorted out the revised script, put it into his briefcase, and prepared to go to the company to meet Han Sanping.

San Ye was an impatient person. He would call him every few days to ask about the progress of the script, whether he needed help or assistance in the creation, which made him very annoyed!

After thinking for a few minutes last night, he decided to just send the script out and let Han Sanping do it on her own.

If he is not given the script, the frequency of his phone calls will probably go from once every three days to once a day!

"Phone bombing, this is pure phone bombing, this is a crime!"

In the car, Chen Fei complained about Han Sanping mercilessly.

At this time, with the arrival of a new day, the atmosphere in the entertainment industry is becoming more and more lively.

"Operation Mekong," an action and crime film directed and starred by Chen Fei, grossed 2.93 million yuan yesterday, bringing its total box office to 12.58 billion yuan! It's within reach of reaching 20 billion yuan!"

"This morning, the filming of the mythological film "The Legend of Wukong", produced by New Classics Pictures and featuring many film and television actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, adapted from the top IP novel of the same name, officially started.

At the film launch conference, Eddie Peng, Ni Ni, Yu Wenle and other main creative members were all present, and director Chen Kai made a surprise appearance on the set to personally teach several actors acting techniques..."

"There are less than 4 days left until Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's 'Wedding of the Century'. According to the wedding organizers, at the proposal scene, the man will present the woman with a 6-carat luxury wedding ring!"

"Hot news: The guest list of Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's 'wedding of the century' was revealed for the first time, bringing together celebrities from the film and television circles of both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asian countries, covering the music, sports, folk art, media, and journalism circles..."

Huayi, inside Wang Zhongjun’s office.

While browsing the news online, Wang Zhonglei, who was originally sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but stand up and stare at the mobile phone screen with sharp eyes.

"If 'Old Cannon' can have the same strong box office appeal as 'Operation Mekong', the company's market value will return to 950 billion in no time!"

Wang Zhongjun, who was sitting in his office chair, glanced at him and said without hesitation: "What a wild idea!"

"What about I Am Not Madame Bovary and Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back? With these two movies, it should be comparable, right?"

Wang Zhonglei said this very unconvincedly, secretly blaming his own brother for boosting others' prestige and destroying his own ambition.

"With Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, it might be about the same."

Wang Zhongjun did not discuss this topic in depth, but mentioned another matter: "What did the board of directors say? When will the 10.5 billion yuan be in place? Feng Xiaogang has already started to urge him."

"It's almost there, it's almost there. After all, this is not a small amount of money, and approval will take time."

Wang Zhongjun nodded slightly: "We need to handle this matter as soon as possible and try to secure the profits. We should announce it to the public as soon as the transaction process is completed. This will help increase the stock price."

"it is good."

Wang Zhonglei responded and added, "I have also discussed with Yang Ying, Bai Baihe, Li Chen, and Huo Siyan. As soon as their personal companies are established, we will start the acquisition process."

"Yang Ying can wait until after the wedding before launching the acquisition plan. Her wedding with Xiao Ming is not a simple one. After this, the two of them will be officially tied together. This will greatly increase the acquisition price, and we can make more money."

"Well, okay, I will keep an eye on the developments over there."

……

At this time, at Feiyue Film and Television.

Seeing Han Sanping coming alone, Fade Chen couldn't help but feel curious: "Hey? Mr. Han, why are you here alone today? Where is your follower?"

"You mean Jia Nu?" Han Sanping shook her head helplessly. "Don't worry about her. I finally arranged for her to follow Ning Hao to the crew of Ghost Blows Out the Light to learn something, but she's just been busy for three days and then stopped for two days. I don't know what she's doing."

"Oh, I see." Chen Fei suddenly remembered what Han Jianu had said to him before: "She seemed to have said before that she wanted to write a script herself?"

"Huh? Her?" Han Sanping curled her lips in disdain: "If she can create a high-quality script, I will take her last name!"

"???"

Chen Fei vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong, but before he could react, Han Sanping's hand had already reached out in front of him.

"Didn't you say you would give me the script today? Where is it?"

"Hey, don't be impatient. Can I go back on my promise to you?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Fade Chen opened the briefcase on the table and took out the script of "The Founding of an Army".

Han Sanping took it at lightning speed, then returned to the sofa and began to read it with great interest.

Chen Fei did not interrupt his thoughts, but took out another script from the safe beside him and began to revise, delete, and correct it...

Half an hour later, Han Sanping finished reading the script with satisfaction.

"Yes, your story is very well written. I said that you have a smart brain and can definitely write a suitable tribute film script."

Fade Chen boasted without even looking up: "Main theme movie scripts are my strong point."

Han Sanping ignored his words and was very interested in the script in his hand: "What are you reading? A newly written script?"

"Yeah." Chen Fei still didn't look up, and replied casually: "It's still a mainstream theme script, adapted from the 'Evacuation of Chinese Nationals from Yemen' incident in March this year."

Han Sanping asked, "Is it the same as Operation Mekong?"

Fade Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Almost. However, the script is not yet complete. I will show it to you after it is finalized."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I'll take this script to the General Administration and let Director Tong take a look at it."

"Okay, then I won't send you off. Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

After going out, Han Sanping left Feiyue Film and Television and went straight to the Film Bureau.

He was quite satisfied with the script of "The Founding of an Army". Next, he needed to let Tong Gang take a look at it. As long as the latter nodded, the project would be settled and the "debt" he owed before could be repaid.
