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

Chapter 860 Playing the role of a school beauty in her true colors? Ali’s cool move!
After finishing the filming of a short scene in the capital, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" smoothly moved to Zhanjiang and saw the most "expensive" prop in the entire movie, which is: an amphibious ship named "Kunlun Mountain".

The staff from the Navy Art Department who was in charge of connecting with the crew led everyone onto the warship and gave them a brief introduction to the specific situation of the warship.

"The standard displacement of this warship is about 18500 tons. It is 210 meters long and 28 meters wide. The cost is about 14 billion. There are hovercrafts, tanks and armored vehicles in the cabin. There are 4 Z-8 large transport helicopters in the rear, and it is also equipped with a Marine battalion..."

As the other party introduced themselves, bursts of exclamations could be heard from the crew from time to time, and the group of people looked as if they had never seen the world before.

Chen Fei was relatively calm. Although it was his first time on a warship, he had seen the world before when filming "Operation Mekong", so he didn't act as exaggerated as the others.

“Our leader said that within half a month from now, this warship will be handed over to your crew. You can contact me at any time if you need any help.

If you need to use any equipment, weapons, helicopters, etc., you can contact me at any time and I will help you make adjustments and arrangements..."

"it is good."

Fade Chen nodded slightly, his face full of excitement.

Long before filming this movie, he had already made arrangements with the Navy Art Department.

In order to pursue good film results, he made it clear that "authenticity" must be guaranteed during filming!
This "reality" can be divided into three categories, namely: real scene, real equipment, and real environment.

In his opinion, only by bringing the actors into the real battlefield can the film achieve absolute reality.

In order to achieve this, the crew now has two special instructors from the Jiaolong Special Forces following them for a long time. They will be responsible for observing all the movements and behaviors of the actors during the filming process... and will make timely adjustments when problems are discovered.

Now with the assistance of warships, it can be said that "it's like adding wings to a tiger", and the subsequent filming work will surely be smoother.

……

Time flies and the morning is gone in a flash.

At noon, just as the crew of "Operation Red Sea" was having lunch with the officers and soldiers on the warship, the list of leading actors of a movie that attracted much attention in the industry was "grandly" announced.

Huace Film and Television issued a notice stating:
"The film version of Love O2O will be starred by Yang Ying, Jing Boran, Bai Yu, Wu Qian, Tan Songyun, Li Xian and other actors. The film is adapted from Gu Man's novel of the same name and tells the story of a pair of college lovers who met and fell in love because of a game..."

The emergence of this news was like a blockbuster bomb, which instantly caused a huge stir in the entertainment industry!

As soon as the news was announced, Huace’s "publicity press release" was also released shortly afterwards, which immediately triggered ridicule and sneer from many people in the circle.

"Yang Ying, the actress who has conquered countless audiences with her outstanding acting skills and charming looks, has once again returned to the public eye with the image of "playing a school beauty in her true colors".

Each of her roles is highly anticipated, and this time, she will challenge herself to play an e-sports goddess. This is not only a recognition of her acting skills, but also a recognition of her multifaceted charm.

At the same time, the addition of Jing Boran also adds a lot of highlights to the film. His reunion with Yang Ying reminds people of their wonderful performance in "Love in the City" six years ago.

After six years, the two of them will work together again, which will undoubtedly create different sparks..."

Press releases such as the above came out like a tide, immediately pushing Yang Ying to the forefront.

From "playing herself as a school beauty" to "the e-sports goddess in real life", and then to "the second screen CP collaboration with Jing Boran"... every topic is enough to cause a lot of "controversy".

Huace chose to praise Yang Ying very highly, and successfully raised the popularity of this movie to a new height.

When Chen Fei saw these press releases, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Why do you still play the role of the school beauty in your true colors?
It's not embarrassing to say this. How could Yang Ying, an actress who is almost 30 and already married, be associated with the "school belle"?

However, Huang Xiaoming still supports his girlfriend as always.

Amid heated discussions, ridicule and mockery online, he forwarded three Weibo posts about Yang Ying in succession, each of which was full of praise and support for her, as if he was praising his wife very highly.

After lunch, the two of them even started talking on the phone for a long time.

Huang Xiaoming kept calling her "wife", which stunned Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei and others beside him.

Looking at this scene, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel confused.

"It seems like they had a deep relationship, right? But why did they end up getting divorced? It's really weird."

……

After taking a short break at noon, in the afternoon, Chen Fei led the crew's photographers, props, etc. to start arranging the next scenes.

Some shots need to be framed using drones and surveillance, and some of the equipment and props worn by the actors need to be arranged in advance.

As the saying goes: If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.

If the preparatory work is not done well, how can the subsequent work be carried out?
Chen Fei was busy until the evening. Just when he finished checking the relevant work of the on-site setting, he suddenly received a call from Jiang Wen.

He just pressed the connect button on the screen and before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Wen on the other side angrily cursing:
"This Alibaba Pictures is simply a pest and a cancer in the film and television industry. Such a company should be driven out of the domestic entertainment industry and banned permanently! Instead of allowing them to act recklessly and do whatever they want..."

Chen Fei was a little confused at first and just thought that Alibaba Pictures had offended Jiang Wen.

But as more useful information came from the other end of the phone, his face suddenly darkened, and his doubt was replaced by a deep coldness.

During last year's Shanghai International Film Festival, Alibaba Pictures "shone brightly", confidently announcing the production slogan of "well-known director + popular actors + big IP adaptation".

This slogan attracted widespread attention at the time.

And this afternoon, at a large-scale industry forum event held by Alibaba Pictures titled "Why Are Original Creations and IPs in Such a Hurry?", Zhang Qi once again shouted out a slogan and targeted the vast number of screenwriters and creators in the industry.

He said: "With the increasing maturity of big data technology, the creation of movie scripts will also usher in a new model. From now on, Alibaba Pictures will no longer hire professional screenwriters, but will turn its attention to the vast number of novelists and forum moderators, and seek creativity from them!"

This decision is undoubtedly a huge subversion of the traditional film and television creation model!
Zhang Qi even took out the PPT template again and introduced his plan to all the participants:
“Before writing the script, we will select a group of outstanding novel writers, let them write the script story based on the content of the novel, and select the best work through competition and elimination.

As for those professional screenwriters, their work content will shift more to post-script story arrangement and layout adjustment. "

Finally, he vowed that this "super IP research and development" is mainly to better meet the needs of the audience and to tap into more film and television works with market potential.

We firmly believe that starting from the perspective of the audience rather than the screenwriter will make it more likely to create works that the audience will like and achieve success. "

His words caused quite a bit of controversy at the scene!
In the subsequent question-and-answer session, an industry insider raised a serious question: "Over-reliance on big data and non-professional creation may lead to a decline in the quality of film and television works, a loss of originality and artistic depth, and an unfair competitive environment for professional directors and screenwriters. Can Alibaba Pictures afford this?"

Faced with these doubts, Zhang Qi said with a smile that he was very clear about it, but he still insisted on his decision:
"In my opinion, this is an inevitable trend for the future development of the film and television industry. Only through continuous innovation and experimentation can we lead the industry to new heights, rather than standing still and being complacent as it is now..."

Many people in the audience had worried expressions on their faces, because this move by Alibaba Pictures will undoubtedly bring unprecedented impact and changes to the film and television industry.

As the forum meeting ended, related reports appeared on the Internet, which immediately caused extremely violent turmoil and controversy!

It is no exaggeration to say that Alibaba Pictures is uprooting those screenwriters and destroying their jobs!
Faced with this kind of behavior, any screenwriter with a sense of purpose would not sit still and wait for death. So when Chen Fei logged into Weibo, he saw a scene where all the screenwriters in the entire film and television industry united to protest against Alibaba:
"Are they still recruiting screenwriters and creating high-quality works? Isn't this just some kind of 'breeding insects' trick?"

"So, from now on, movies and TV shows produced by Alibaba Pictures will no longer need professional screenwriters to create them? Haha, that's ridiculous. I want to see how fast you die!"

"Ali Pictures is simply playing with fire! Do you know what the consequences of doing this are? Bad movies will dominate the market and people will die of starvation everywhere!"

"Novel writer? Forum moderator? These people can also be screenwriters, what a joke!"

"If they really do this, coupled with Alibaba's big data classification push, doesn't it mean that they have completely abandoned the general public? They only focus on a certain group of audiences and fans? It's similar to Taobao's precise push of products."

Looking at these discussions on the Internet, Chen Fei's face became increasingly ugly.

In his opinion, whether it is a movie or a TV series, it belongs to mass media and needs to cater to the masses, and Feiyue Film and Television is now taking this route.

But if Alibaba Pictures' operation is followed, then except for a certain group of fans, what the public will see are countless "bad movies"!
This is undoubtedly leading the entire film and television industry towards a "deviant path"!
After Jiang Wen cursed on the phone, he hung up without even saying hello, as if he was ready to join the crowd in cursing Alibaba Pictures.

Putting the phone in his pocket, Fade Chen fell into deep thought.

Although he cannot stop Alibaba Pictures' outrageous operations, he can prove to the outside world through his own actions that only TV dramas and movies aimed at the general public are truly good TV dramas and movies.

However, those TV dramas and movies that are driven by big data and pushed with precision are all heading down the wrong path!

Looking around, not only is the Internet in chaos at this moment, but even the Weibo accounts of major well-known screenwriters in the industry are in a mess.

Especially Chen Fei.

Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Xue Xiaolu, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Lu Xuechang, Wang Xiaoshuai, Wang Quanan, Lou Ye, Ning Hao and others have joined the opposition camp and hope that he can voice his support.

The Screenwriters Association, in particular, was so anxious that it almost jumped up and down. It issued three warnings in a row, severely criticizing Alibaba Pictures' shameless behavior.

Seeing this, Fade Chen would naturally not continue to sit and wait for death.

After all, "screenwriter" is also one of the foundations for his survival in the film and television industry.

It took him less than 3 minutes to fully explain his ideas:

"Last year, Alibaba Pictures said that it was possible to create excellent works without professional directors, and I clearly disagreed at the time.

Today, Alibaba Pictures spoke out again, saying that excellent and popular works can be created without professional screenwriters.

To this, I only want to describe it in six words - 'it's just bullshit'!
I am sorry to disappoint you all. When I talked to Mr. Zhang on the phone last year, he said that Alibaba's "Internet production model" is the strongest and invincible, and there can be no rivals.

Based on this, I made a bet with him that I would use "Zhu Xian" and "Princess Agents" to compete with his film and TV versions of "Eternal Love".

Whoever produces the highest box office movies or the highest ratings TV series will be the winner, and the loser will need to publicly admit that his or her remarks and the company's future development direction are wrong.

Today I will make this public. You can wait and see whether Alibaba Pictures can successfully subvert the professionalism of the film and television industry, or whether Feiyue Pictures can maintain the high quality, high quality and professionalism of the traditional film and television industry! "

After sending out the Weibo post, Chen Fei was ready to wait for follow-up reactions, but at this time Su Guohai happened to call him.

He casually pressed the answer button and started chatting with him.

As for how big a stir his Weibo post will cause in the industry, we will just have to wait and see.

……

"'A Moment in Heaven' has been jointly removed from the shelves by many cinema chains. Happy Twist has suffered heavy losses from this investment, and it may even affect the normal operation of the company..."

Listening to the news on the other end of the phone about the current difficulties and troubles encountered by the "Happy Twist" company, Chen Fei suddenly had a bold idea in his mind!

"How about continuing to cooperate with Happy Twist?"

This idea had just sprouted, but in the blink of an eye it had grown into a towering tree!
"How about this." He interrupted Su Guohai and said what he was thinking: "You can try to contact the chairman of Happy Twist and ask them if they need a stronger partnership and partner?"

Hearing this, Su Guohai was slightly startled, and subconsciously asked back: "Mr. Chen, do you mean... to invest in Happy Twist?"

Chen Fei nodded heavily: "Yes, that is to buy shares. We can provide them with everything the company lacks, including money, relevant resources, and connections, and they can use their own abilities and advantages..."

Listening to the voice coming from the phone, Su Guohai's eyes subconsciously fell on a piece of document placed on the desk.

After receiving the "request for help" from Happy Twist, he immediately obtained detailed information about the other company.

It is no exaggeration to say that this company has absolutely nothing to do with the film and television industry.

Before the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" came out, Happy Twist was at best doing stage plays, dramas, etc., and also had a small part of the agency business.

Therefore, he was actually opposed to investing in this company.

"Mr. Chen." Su Guohai's tone was full of confusion: "I'm quite curious, what are the advantages of this company? Forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't see it."

Chen Fei understood what he meant and said seriously, "If you take a deeper look, you may find that the Happy Twist team has very strong creative abilities. For example, their stage plays and variety shows are all very popular.

The company's mainstays Shen Teng and Ma Li are frequent guests on the Spring Festival Gala, and the variety shows they create are often very popular.

In such an environment, it is very easy for Happy Twist to transform into a film and television company, and the comedy works they create are relatively more likely to have good box office appeal. "

"So? This is still a 'dark horse' company?"

"That's right!" Chen Fei said seriously, "In my opinion, Happy Twist is definitely a dark horse with great potential. This can be seen from "Charlotte's Troubles". They just need some corresponding resources and opportunities."

Su Guohai seemed to understand: "Okay, then I'll find time to talk to them, but... it doesn't seem easy to adapt those popular stage plays into movies, right?"

Chen Fei laughed and said directly, "No matter how difficult it is, they are professionals after all. They definitely have experience in screenwriting and are definitely much better than those who write novels."

Su Guohai knew clearly that Chen Fei was mocking Ali with these words.

He did not continue the conversation along this topic, but instead asked about the details of the follow-up discussions related to Happy Twist.

Chen Fei thought for a moment and then began to speak: "Our advantages are strong funding, production team, special effects production, post-production promotion, and theatrical release.

Their advantages are a complete and professional screenwriter and creative team, as well as a small number of actors with superb acting skills... In addition, we must strive to maximize the benefits as much as possible..."

On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai responded from time to time: "Well, okay... I understand, yes... I understand..."
