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

Chapter 872 Six deadly sins! What? Got arrested for filming a porn movie?
On the afternoon of the 5th, with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang seeing him off, Chen Fei boarded a plane to Morocco.

In fact, he left quite late, as the rest of the crew had left in the morning and managed to arrive at the hotel in the evening.

The flight he was on landed at midnight.

But there was nothing he could do about it, because he had promised Wang Changtian that he would help read the script of "Passing By Your World" before leaving.

The script was delivered at 10 o'clock sharp, and it was already 12 noon when I finished reading it, so I could only take the afternoon flight.

After the plane took off, with the help of the flight attendant, Chen Fei connected to the cabin wifi with his laptop and began to make subsequent shooting plans.

You know, the filming of "Operation Red Sea" has reached the middle stage, and there are still many big scenes to come, which have to be planned in advance.

At the same time, while Chen Fei was busy, the conflict between Tang Ren and Jiang Jinfu had reached a "white-hot" stage as the New Year atmosphere faded away!
Because of the constraints of her contract, Jiang Jinfu was unable to make money like other stars and actors in this New Year, but could only wait anxiously at home for the end of the lawsuit.

Based on this, his father could no longer sit still and directly opened a Weibo account, publicly listing Tang Ren’s “six sins”!
These “six deadly sins” were like six thunderclaps, instantly causing an uproar in the entertainment industry.

1: No contract is signed during filming!
2: Another 155 million yuan of film remuneration was deducted when the supplementary contract was signed!
3: Turned down Jiang Jinfu’s invitation to play in other dramas on his own initiative!
4: Forging contracts and planning a ban!

5: Organize marketing accounts and a large number of water armies to smear!

6: Leaking information to the public in advance to announce the verdict, thereby interfering with judicial actions through public opinion!

As soon as these six sins were announced, they immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Because if these crimes are true, then the behavior of the Tang people can be described as "insane"!

However, the Tang people were not willing to sit still and wait for death.

Seeing that the trend of public opinion on the Internet was very unfavorable to the company, Cai Yinong actually issued several statements in a row, demanding in a tough attitude that Jiang's father be held accountable for his legal responsibilities, and warned the media and the public to stop forwarding and spreading the "Six Sins" remarks from time to time.

This sudden counterattack undoubtedly made the already confusing situation more complicated, and also triggered more heated discussions.

When Chen Fei landed in Morocco, he happened to see the hot news on Weibo.

In a trance, he suddenly remembered all the despicable things Cai Yinong had done to Liu Shishi before.

As the boss of an agency, he actually teamed up with outsiders to embarrass his own artist in public just because the artist was not going to renew the contract...

Just thinking about what she had done before, Chen Fei could assert that these six sins were definitely not false!

"Unjust is doomed to destruction."

After muttering to himself, Chen Fei switched the screen of his phone to WeChat and reported his itinerary to Liu Yifei.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the hotel safely.

Although it is already past midnight, the hotel is still quite lively. Many celebrity agents and assistants are running back and forth in the corridor, serving their own artists.

"Director Chen, you are here."

Chen Fei's assistant had been waiting in the hotel lobby for a long time. When he saw him come in, he quickly stepped forward to take the luggage.

"How is it? Are all the actors here?"

The assistant responded, "Yes, everyone is here. They are almost all settled in now and are resting."

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the elevator and headed straight to the top floor.

A few minutes later, the elevator door opened and Fade Chen was the first to step out of the elevator.

However, the next second, he heard an uncontrollable laugh coming from the corridor!

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Shen Ao, who came to be his assistant director and assist the crew in the filming, was laughing so hard that he could hardly straighten his back.

Looking at this scene, Fade Chen couldn't help but feel curious.

He turned around and walked towards Shen'ao.

At this moment, Shen Ao turned his head when he heard the footsteps.

After seeing that the person coming was Chen Fei, he quickly said a few words into the phone and then hastily pressed the hang-up button.

"Director Chen, you're here too."

Chen Fei asked jokingly, "What were you laughing at just now? Why are you so happy? Are you in love?"

"No, no." Shen Ao quickly waved his hands and explained, "Just now a classmate of mine from Beijing Film Academy called me and told me something really funny."

Then he added: "You may not know that a junior from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy went to make a small movie in order to raise funds for the graduation drama, and he was arrested."

Chen Fei was confused: "What? A graduate of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy went to make a porn movie? And he was arrested?"

"Yes." Shen'ao nodded: "It was only because the school leaders acted as guarantors that they were able to get him out."

"Shouldn't it be? Didn't the school provide the funds for filming the graduation drama? I remember it was 10 or 20 per person. It should be enough to cope with graduation, right?"

However, as soon as he said this, the smile on Shen Ao's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Director Chen, you may not know that the school's investment is only 5 yuan at most, which is only enough to rent cameras and venue fees. The rest must be funded by yourself.

Moreover, this treatment is only available to those with good academic performance. For ordinary graduates, it would be great to get 1 yuan in sponsorship.”

Hearing this, Fade Chen fell silent.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly: "Alas, no wonder there are fewer and fewer young directors who can make a name for themselves now. Even the schools that teach and educate people are rotten to the core. How can students have a good future?"

At this moment, Chen Fei became more determined to make the Shanxi Film Academy bigger and stronger.

The directing department of Beijing Film Academy has been abolished. We can't just sit there and watch those young Chinese directors become frustrated, right?

That night he was still thinking about what kind of plan he should come up with to bring together those talented young directors.

The next morning, an announcement from LeTV Pictures suddenly gave him an idea.

"Exclusively produced by LeTV Pictures, directed by Zhang Mo, supervised by his father Zhang Yimou, and starring Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua, Ma Su and others, the fantasy urban comedy film "28 Years Old Minor" officially started shooting this morning!"

Father and daughter working together is a very rare situation in the entire director circle.

But Zhang Mo and Zhang Yimou, father and daughter, are unique in the director circle!

The former has been following his father to work and learn since a very early age.

Movies such as "Three Shots Surprise", "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "The Flowers of War", "Coming Home" and so on are all representative works of father and daughter working together.

Now, my daughter has officially graduated and my father has become the producer. This is clearly sending a signal to the outside world that the “second generation of directors” is about to come out.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly had a bold idea.

Why not launch a "Young Director Film Plan" based on the framework of the "New Art Film Revival" plan?

We recruit talented but frustrated young directors from all over the world, and either invest in the high-quality scripts they create, or open Feiyue Films' IP copyright library to them, allowing them to choose the right IP to create boldly, and then invest...

If this plan succeeds, it will definitely unearth a large number of outstanding young directors!
You know, the vast majority of directing graduates from the three major media schools are not lacking in experience and ability, but they just lack the resources to support them.

Once there are enough resources, a large number of people actually have enough ability!

"After the filming of this movie is finished, I will go back and implement it immediately!"

Fade Chen murmured, a very grand plan slowly unfolding in his mind.

Anyway, he is not short of money now, so he doesn't need to feel sad even if he loses money. He can just regard it as accumulating experience for those young directors.

Although doing so is likely to be regarded as a "thankless task", it is better than throwing money at old guys who can only make bad movies but still call themselves "top directors".

……

10: am local time, China Film Building.

At the beginning of the new year, many employees of China Film Group Corporation began to return to work. However, what surprised many of them was that on the first day of work, the company welcomed a special visitor - the famous director Wu Yu.

His arrival undoubtedly caused quite a stir within the company.

Back then, the failure of "The Crossing" made Wu dialect the target of public criticism.

Faced with overwhelming criticism and ridicule, he left in anger, hid back in Hong Kong Island, and even declared that he would no longer participate in any promotion of "The Crossing"!

At that time, he was like a deserter, completely abandoning his battlefield.

However, as time passed, he once again stepped into the land of mainland movies...

Is he ready to face those strange looks and face his past failures again?

Everyone was filled with doubts, and many even despised his arrival, but on the surface everyone still maintained due politeness and respect.

After getting on the elevator, Wu Yu went straight to La Peikang's office.

The secretary did not stop him. After all, he was from Hong Kong, and the newly appointed Director La had always been very fond of Hong Kong directors and filmmakers, which also influenced his subordinates.

After successfully entering the office, Wu Yu sat directly on the chair opposite La Peikang, looking serious and earnest, as if he wanted to concentrate all his energy on the subsequent conversation.

"Pour me a cup of tea."

While La Peikang was instructing his secretary, he looked at Wu Yu who was sitting opposite him, and his mood was very complicated and difficult to express...

He recalled the political achievements he had made when Han Sanping invested in "Red Cliff" during his reign, but what was more unforgettable was the failure of "The Crossing".

The incident put China Film Corporation into a huge predicament and also had a significant impact on him who had just taken office.

Wu Yu seemed to sense La Peikang's resistance. He smiled slightly and tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Mr. La, I know that the incident of The Crossing bothered you a lot, but that is a thing of the past. I came here today to talk to you about my new film project."

Hearing the words "new movie", La Peikang raised his eyebrows slightly.

In his heart, he actually didn't want to cooperate with Wu Yu. After all, this guy was too irresponsible. When the movie was a big hit, he jumped out to take credit for it, but when it failed, he stayed away...

Working with such people is undoubtedly a disrespect to the company!

But he did not interrupt Wu Yu immediately, but chose to listen quietly. After all, the other party was a director from Hong Kong, and there were some differences between him and mainland directors.

In the office, Wu Yu talked freely: "My new movie is adapted from the novel "Crossing the Angry River" by Japanese writer Nishimura Toshiyuki, which is a very popular novel in Japan.

The plot is very compact and the theme is profound. I believe it will become an excellent film. I have already contacted the Japanese investors and plan to make it a Sino-Japanese co-production..."

La Peikang still didn't speak, but his eyes began to flicker, and he seemed to have some interest in Wu Yu's new plan.

As a director, Wu Yu naturally caught La Peikang's interest and immediately emphasized his tone.
"This will be a film that combines elements of action, crime and suspense. It is my best project and the basis for me to make a name for myself in Hollywood.

In addition to Japanese investment, there will also be Japanese actors joining the film. You should know Masaharu Fukuyama, right? The film "Like Father, Like Son" starring him was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 66th Cannes Film Festival.

With his participation, I believe this film will definitely attract the audience’s attention. At the same time, I can also invite investment from Hong Kong film companies, and it can be a joint production of the mainland, Hong Kong, and Japan..."

"Mainland? Hong Kong? Japan? A tripartite co-production?" La Peikang finally spoke, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his tone.

"Yes." Wu Yu nodded affirmatively, "This will be a brand new attempt, and I have already contacted the film companies in Hong Kong and Japan. Now all we need is the support from China Film.

After all, China Film Group is the only company in China that has the right to import films, and it also has sufficient experience in co-productions..."

At this moment, La Peikang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, when he heard the condition of joint production by mainland China, Hong Kong and Japan, he was already very excited.

After all, this kind of co-production project with foreign countries is actually the best way to demonstrate political achievements!
Just like the big project "The Great Wall" that he is in charge of.

Once this kind of Sino-foreign co-production project is a great success, in addition to the benefits gained, it will also bring very rich political achievements.

And this is one of the foundations for him to continue to sit in the position of Chairman of China Film Group!

After introducing the details of the new project, Wu Yu closed his mouth and waited quietly for La Peikang's reply.

Although the two sides did not have a particularly pleasant relationship because of "The Taiping", he was still quite confident that he could convince La Peikang.

Because he had communicated with Jiang Zhiqiang before, and learned from him that the newly appointed chairman of China Film Group was very "power-hungry", and his style of doing things was "domineering", "extreme", and "intolerant of outside questioning".

After understanding his personality and hobbies, we just need to prescribe the right medicine and it will be easy to continue to cheat China Film... No, it is to get investment.

After a moment of silence, La Peikang slowly said, "Director Wu, your plan sounds very attractive, but I still need to think about it."

"Of course, you can think about it slowly."

Wu Yu showed a confident smile on his face, because he didn't expect to convince La Peikang in one go.

As long as the other party does not refuse directly and firmly, it means that there is hope of achieving this goal.

……

2.45 million, 2.4 million, 3.15 million...

In just one week, "The Mermaid" grossed 18.19 billion yuan at the box office, shocking the entire film and television industry.

In contrast, other movies, such as "Ip Man 4" and "Kung Fu Panda 4", are still hovering around 7 million.

In addition, "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 6: The White Bone Demon" is still charging towards 6 million, while "Sword of the Blue Sky" has just broken through million.

Under such circumstances, the box office performance of "The Mermaid" of 18.19 billion is undoubtedly explosive!

Almost all colleagues can say with great confidence that "The Mermaid" will definitely break the 30 billion box office!"

Because based on the performance of this movie, the producers will definitely apply for a key extension.

If it was given another month of release period, it would be strange if it didn’t break 30 billion!

At this time, the film "The Founding of an Army" was launched.

As soon as the media interview ended, Han Sanping turned around and said to La Peikang with a smile: "You have come at a good time. First you had Operation Mekong, and now you have The Mermaid. If the achievements of these two movies are realized, you will have at least five years of peace of mind!"

"Haha, I hope so."

La Peikang did not refute this statement because he was very excited and had long forgotten about humility.

When people are excited, they will inevitably do some irrational things.

He had originally wanted to consult Han Sanping's opinion on whether to invest in Wu Yu's new film.

But now he thought about it and suddenly realized that the achievements he had made during his tenure were much better than those made by Han Sanping when he was in office.

In this case, there was no need for him to ask Han Sanping for her opinion and views. He could just make the arrangements based on his own experience.

So, after leaving the launch conference of "The Founding of an Army", he directly called Wu Yu.

"Director Wu, please come to China Film Corporation when you have time. China Film Corporation can participate in the investment of your Sino-Japanese co-production."

On the other end of the phone, Wu Yu responded happily: "Haha, OK, thank you for your trust and recognition, Mr. La."

After hanging up the phone, La Peikang put away his phone, looked at the traffic outside, and felt that his future was bright.

Following "The Great Wall", he completed another Sino-Japanese co-production.

Once these two projects are implemented and fully successful, they will be an inexhaustible source of political achievements!

"Oh, yes, there's also Monster Hunt 2, haha, these are all high-quality big projects."
