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

Chapter 874 Return to 900 billion? Hit 1000 billion! ?

"It is reported that Feiyue Film and Television's animation department is promoting two new animation film projects, focusing mainly on the two major themes of 'Fengshen' and 'White Snake', and has achieved remarkable results..."

"Ali's big entertainment plan has taken another big step forward! According to Alibaba's latest announcement, it has signed relevant contracts with South Korean idol trainee groups such as Girls' Generation, EXO, and TVXQ.

The former will enter into a cooperation agreement with the latter's company to help the latter expand into the mainland market, increase the latter's business volume, and extract a certain share of the profits..."

"Go Fighting! Season 4 has officially started recording, with the first episode expected to be released in April this year, with the original cast returning!"

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Journal. It is reported that the comedy, action, science fiction, and adventure film "Deadpool" jointly produced by 2th Century Fox and Marvel has been released in North America for a week and has exceeded million US dollars in box office, which is a huge hit!"

……

With the arrival of a new day, there are many hot news on the Internet.

Feiyue Films is about to release its latest animated film, Alibaba has signed cooperation contracts with major idol trainee companies in South Korea, and the second season of Extreme Challenge has started recording...

Looking around, all of this news has attracted countless netizens to watch and discuss.

However, at this time, Chen Fei was not paying attention to the news, but was talking on the phone with Wang Changtian.

It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and he has received calls from his company and Youku.

Wang Changtian's call came right after Su Guohai and Gu Yongqiang.

"You also received the news, right?"

"Yes, I got it. I didn't expect that Mr. Ye would resign at this critical moment!"

Chen Fei had a complicated expression, because he had just received news from Huo Qigang a few days ago that there were personnel changes within Wanda Pictures.

But he really didn't expect that the executive who resigned was actually Ye Ning, who had been in charge of Wanda Pictures!

You know, Wanda is really in its heyday now, the company's benefits have been increasing, and the scope of business has been expanding...

Logically speaking, this is a great time to follow your boss to expand your territory and conquer the world!

But Chen Fei really didn't understand what Ye Ning did.

He hasn't even gotten to enjoy the credit of victory, but he's deserting the battlefield. What's going on?
Wang Changtian asked in distress, "What should we do next? Wanda's people have come to Guangguang early in the morning. They expressed their hope to continue to establish a close alliance, but who knows what the attitude of the new person in office will be?"

Chen Fei also had a headache. After all, the change of partners would inevitably mean constant twists and turns.

But in comparison, he was quite calm.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only fight back if the enemy comes with our troops and block the flood with earth."

"Oh, this is really troublesome. I'm just confused. What on earth is Ye Ning thinking? He didn't answer the phone call. Is he going to say goodbye to the film and television industry completely?"

Farewell to the film and television industry?

Hearing these six words, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Chen Fei's mind!
In a trance, he recalled a lot of information, as well as various news, struggles, and verbal battles...

"Impossible!" At this moment, his tone was very firm: "Director Wang, wait for a while. If I'm right, this person should make some new moves in a very short time."

"Oh? What do you mean? Have you guessed something?" Wang Changtian sounded very confused.

"I don't know if my guess is right. Just wait a little longer. It won't be long before we have some clues..."

……

Perhaps seeing the "prosperity" of the film market, more and more news about the start of film shooting has begun to emerge one by one.

In the following few days, Chen Fei could see news about the launch of a new movie project or the start of filming almost every other day.

"The ancient costume fantasy film "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia", which is controlled by LeTV Pictures, supervised by director Xu Ke, produced by Shi Nansheng, directed by Yuan Heping, and starred by Dong Chengpeng, Ni Ni, Zhou Dongyu, Wu Bai, Liu Yan and others, officially held its opening ceremony in Hengdian."

"Director Wu Yu revealed that he has already found an investor for his latest film project, which will be jointly funded by China and Japan. The rest of the information is kept secret for the time being..."

"Guangzhou has announced the cast of its new film project "Passing By Your World". Deng Chao is on the list and will play the leading role. The rest of the roles have not yet been announced."

"Golden Harvest Films has announced that it has confirmed its latest film project, which will still be directed and written by Chen Fei, and the subject matter will mainly focus on crime and action..."

In a blink of an eye, it is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, accompanied by Wanda's "Notice to the Industry", the entire entertainment industry exploded!

“Wanda sued the film and television industry:
Due to personal reasons, Ye Ning, a director of Wanda Group and vice president in charge of the group's three major businesses: film, cinema, and distribution, formally submitted his resignation to the group headquarters a few days ago, and it has officially taken effect today!

From now on, Mr. Ye Ning will separate from Wanda and will no longer hold any position within the company. I hope all companies and partners in the industry will be aware of this..."

The announcement is very detailed!

How specific and detailed is it?

That is: Even the news that Wanda and Ye Ning had a non-compete agreement was revealed.

And what this means is very clear to the capital of the entire entertainment industry.

It is obvious that Big Wang is issuing a warning to the outside world. If anyone dares to take over Wanda, then feel free to try!
But at the same time, many capitals and big companies in the circle also smelled something else.

Wanda is now at its peak, and Ye Ning suddenly deserted. It is impossible that he is bidding farewell to the film and television industry completely, right?
Let me ask you, how could a middle-aged man who has been working in the industry for more than ten years and is still in his prime choose to change his career when the industry is booming?

From this, we can analyze that Ye Ning is either preparing to start a business or has been tempted by other companies!

If you start your own business, that's fine, after all, such examples are not uncommon in the circle.

But if you are poached by another company, then the situation will be different.

Once the act of teasing a tiger's whiskers is carried out, the tiger will definitely not give up and will definitely roar in the mountains!

Perhaps because of the extensive cooperation with Ye Ning before, after Wanda released this announcement, many people chose to call Chen Fei to inquire about the news.

Ren Zhonglun, in particular, actually asked Chen Fei with great interest if he could help persuade Ye Ning to join Shanghai Film Studio.
"The company is currently seeking to go public, and what it lacks most is high-end talents. Experienced talents like Ye Ning are the most suitable. Moreover, Shanghai Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, so there is no need to worry about Wanda causing trouble..."

Chen Fei was speechless after hearing this: "Mr. Ren, if you have any ideas, you should contact him yourself. I am not interested in being a lobbyist and causing myself unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, without waiting for Ren Zhonglun to explain, he made the excuse that he had to film and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Ren, how could such a good thing happen to your state-owned enterprise? What are you thinking?"

While muttering, Fade Chen pressed the power button on his phone and began to follow up on today's shooting plan.

The main scene filmed today was the scene where the Jiaolong team led by Zhang Yi rescued "Xia Nan" played by Zhou Xun, but they were ambushed on the way.

“It’s another exciting scene!”

Chen Fei muttered to himself. After making sure that the props and actors were in place, he shouted out the English word without hesitation:
"Action!"

The sun was high in the sky, and dust was flying above the barren desert as the wheels of the car rolled past.

After successfully rescuing reporter Xia Nan, the Jiaolong team was quickly evacuating along a rugged mountain road.

In the car, the team members remained in combat mode, scanning the surrounding environment vigilantly, fearing to miss any slight movement.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound broke the silence of the desert, and one mortar shell after another with blazing tail flames came from all directions.

As a tank at the end of the convoy was blown up, the entire team immediately fell into chaos.

All the team members jumped out of the car and instinctively looked for cover while firing at the enemy. However, the enemy had obviously been lying in ambush in the dark, and their firepower was so fierce that it was hard to resist!
For a while, the Jiaolong team was caught in a passive situation of being beaten.

Fortunately, Captain Yang Rui remained calm in the face of danger, quickly observed the surrounding environment, and then decisively gave orders:
"Shitou, defend the rear, Tong Li, attack from the flank..."

Under his leadership, the team members began to counterattack in an orderly manner.

They used terrain and cover to cleverly dodge enemy bullets, while fighting back with accurate shooting.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with smoke and flames shot into the sky!
Every gunshot was accompanied by sparks flying and the sound of bullet casings falling to the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.

In the camera, the team members' faces were full of determination and bravery. They faced the enemy's fire without fear and defended the country's dignity and honor with their lives and blood!

As time went on, the battle became more and more intense.

The enemy did not seem to intend to let the Dragon Squad off easily. They kept adjusting the angle and firepower of their attack, trying to catch the Dragon Squad in one fell swoop.

However, the Jiaolong team relied on their excellent combat skills and tacit cooperation to escape danger time and time again.

Zhang Yi's angry roar could be heard from time to time in the studio: "Lu Chen, locate the enemy's position for me...Xu Hong, go and bring everyone out...Zhuang Yu, see what other equipment can be used..."

Time passed minute by minute, and the enemy's mortars continued to bombard, trying to suppress the counterattack of the Dragon Squad.

However, under the wise command of Captain Yang Rui and the joint efforts of all team members, the members of the Jiaolong team, despite the heavy artillery fire, used the help of drones and rocket launchers to break out of the dead end and began to launch a favorable counterattack.

Behind the monitor, Fade Chen stared at the screen without blinking, paying attention to the situation on the set.

"Yang Rui" played by Zhang Yi is interfering with the enemy's mortar camp, "Gu Shun" played by Huang Jingyu is fighting against the enemy sniper, and "Xu Hong" played by Huang Xiaoming is defusing bombs...

The shooting of the three main scenes required him to adjust everything by himself, and also to make reasonable arrangements to ensure that nothing went wrong... This fully demonstrated his level of being a top director.

On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly!
In just a few minutes, "Gu Shun" played by Huang Jingyu successfully occupied the high position, wiped out the enemy's mortar camp, and smashed one of the enemy sniper's ears.

The defeat was like a landslide. Seeing that the situation was not right, the enemy immediately chose to evacuate the scene and flee far away.

What followed was on-site rescue.

"Xia Nan" played by Zhou Xun appeared from the hiding place and helped with the rescue.

Under the car, "Xu Hong" played by Huang Xiaoming was still trying hard to defuse another bomb, hoping to rescue the injured at the scene.

But at this moment, Yang Rui, who walked onto the bus to observe the situation, found that there was a bomb at the rear of the bus, and it was about to explode!
He panicked instantly.

"Go! Run! The bomb in the car is about to explode!"

The injured man staggered out of the car and assisted all the people who were carrying out rescue work near the bus to rush to the hidden spot at the bottom of the slope.

Just as the group of people who were still able to move had just jumped down the slope, the bomb at the rear of the car exploded!
"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the entire filming location was instantly enveloped by dazzling flames. The bus, which had already been bombed once, was torn to pieces like a sponge, with all kinds of parts flying all over the sky...

Behind the monitor, Fade Chen quickly raised the megaphone and shouted to the scene: "Filming is over! The props team should check on the actors immediately. Be careful not to destroy the explosion scene..."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people who had been prepared rushed up and began to check the situation on the scene to ensure that no accidents occurred to the actors.

Among all commercial films, explosion scenes are actually the most difficult to shoot.

It's okay if the props are blown up, at most you can just spend money to buy new ones, but if something happens to the actors, it will be a big trouble.

To put it bluntly, even if there is insurance, the crew will not suffer huge losses, but who would want a living person to get hurt?
At the same time, when the crew of "Operation Red Sea" was busy filming, the Huayi Group Building welcomed a "distinguished guest".

"Boss Ye, haha, welcome to join our Huayi family. This afternoon, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the basic framework of Huayi. After the group has made adjustments, you can officially start work."

Looking at the smiling Wang Zhonglei, Ye Ning couldn't help but smile as well.

He joked, "It just so happens that I haven't taken enough leave this year. It looks like I can rest for a few more days."

"Hahaha." Wang Zhonglei laughed as he took out a membership card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Ning: "Mr. Ye, if you feel tired or exhausted, you can go to our club and play for free."

"Hey? There is such a benefit?"

Ye Ning didn't hesitate and took the membership card directly.

No matter you go or not, you have to accept the kindness of your future boss, otherwise how can he trust you?
"Of course, our company has many benefits. You will find out when Mr. Ye starts working..."

While the two were chatting, Wang Zhongjun handed a share transfer contract to Ye Ning behind the desk and asked, "By the way, Mr. Ye, the group of middle-level backbones you mentioned..."

Ye Ning took the equity transfer contract and signed his name before he spoke: "It will be in the next few days. After I officially start the work, they will come over one after another."

"Haha, OK, OK! I will definitely hold a big banquet to welcome you all!"

Wang Zhongjun could hardly hide his joy at this moment.

Not only did they recruit Ye Ning, but they also brought in a large number of experienced backbones...

With the support of this group of people, there is no need to worry about the development of Huayi.
It is very possible that the market value will return to 900 billion or even exceed 1000 billion!

……

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

Chen Fei's previous prediction did not turn out to be unexpected. The two love-themed movies that were intended to be bargain-hunting during the Spring Festival period "died" very quickly.

"The romantic and suspense film Run for Love, produced by Huayi, directed by Zhang Yibai and Guan Hu, and starring Zhang Ziyi, Peng Yuyan, and Zhou Dongyu, has been completely removed from theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential. After 10 days of release, the total box office revenue was reported to be 4740.9 million."

"The film "Murder in the Water Years", jointly produced by Wanda, Emperor Entertainment Group, and Gutian Media, and starring Yang Ying, Ruan Jingtian, and Zhang Chao, has been completely removed from theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential. The total box office revenue was reported to be 1345 million."

After the relevant news reports came out, there wasn't even much discussion online, which shows how unpopular these two movies are.

There are still a few days left before March officially arrives, but according to the screening schedule announced by China Film Group, there will probably be no high-quality domestic or imported films in the next few days.

However, on March 3th, there was an imported Disney movie called "Zootopia", which put pressure on many domestic films released in the same period.

But it was just an animated film after all, and its impact was relatively small.

Moreover, March is a relatively unpopular period, and there are very few large-scale domestic films scheduled to be released during this period.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be another month when imported Hollywood blockbusters are rampant.

……

After another new day of filming, news about the awards ceremony of the 66th Berlin International Film Festival appeared on Weibo.

Chen Fei took a quick look and was somewhat surprised to find that Chinese photographer Li Pingbin had won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Photography) for his painting "A Map of the Yangtze River"!

Although this is only a photography award, it is the only award won by a Chinese at the Berlin International Film Festival this year, and it can be regarded as bringing glory to the country.

Jiang Wen was so excited that he posted a Weibo to congratulate his good partner on winning the grand prize.

You know, when he was filming "The Sun Also Rises", he invited Li Pingbin to be the photographer.

And now that the other party has won the grand prize, it is undoubtedly a very encouraging act.

On Weibo, Jiang Wen even revealed an inside story.

His new film, the third film in the "Beiyang Trilogy" is about to enter the project establishment and casting stage. At that time, he will continue to invite Li Pingbin to serve as the photographer of his new film!
