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

Chapter 878 Chen Fei’s stern warning!
To be honest, Chen Fei originally thought that he was already fast enough in filming movies, but he never expected that there would be someone even stronger than him!

On the 10th, a piece of film and television news from the mainland directly topped the Weibo hot search list.

"The film "I Am Not Madame Bovary", a realistic film co-produced by Huayi, Dongyang Mira and Yaolai Pictures, directed by Feng Xiaogang, written by Liu Zhenyun, and starring Fan Bingbing, Dong Chengpeng, Yu Hewei, Guo Tao and others, which took two months to complete, was officially announced to be completed this morning!"

"At the press conference for the wrap-up of the film I Am Not Madame Bovary, Feng Xiaogang said that he would lead the film to compete for awards at international film festivals and planned to release the film in the domestic cinema market by the end of the year."

"Due to the influence of the gambling agreement, Feng Xiaogang said that this film must not only win awards, but also make a big splash at the box office... to achieve both box office and award success!"

While having lunch at noon, Fade Chen watched the news and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"With a bet of more than 10 billion yuan, the pressure is huge. No wonder the movie was shot so quickly. I just don't know if the quality of the movie can be guaranteed."

To achieve both box office success and award-winning success is not something that can be achieved easily.

Even if it is Feng Xiaogang, he has to seriously shoot something that can impress people, otherwise how can a movie with a realistic theme reap high box office?

And the most important thing is that there is Wanda as a stumbling block ahead!
Chen Fei didn't think Wanda would remain indifferent. Although Big Wang seemed to be quiet during this period, he might be harboring evil intentions.

In his guess, perhaps after Wanda Pictures has dealt with the current predicament the company is facing, it will be time to prepare to start working on Huayi!
After reading the news, Fade Chen subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the set, and saw Zhou Xun still holding a mobile phone, and no one knew what he was talking about.

Glancing at the time on his watch, Fade Chen frowned slightly and shouted, "Zhou Xun? Haven't you finished your call yet? We're about to start filming here, come over and put on some makeup."

"Hey! Here I come! Here I come!"

After shouting to Chen Fei, Zhou Xun quickly said to the other end of the phone: "Director Wang, I will be back on the 16th of this month at the latest. I will definitely go to the crew for an audition as soon as possible. Please wait for me!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone and walked hurriedly towards the set.

The makeup artist immediately followed and started to touch up her makeup.

Chen Fei was curious, so he walked up to her with the intercom and asked directly, "Why have you been so secretive these days? What are you doing? Holding a cell phone and making calls all day? Is there some big business?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun subconsciously looked to the left and right.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, she replied in a low voice: "I can tell you, but you must not spread it!"

Fade Chen glanced at her and rolled his eyes speechlessly: "This is not the first day you have known me. Am I the kind of person who talks too much?"

"Hehe." Zhou Xun smiled softly and explained, "Isn't Operation Red Sea about to be completed? I've been contacting a new project recently, which is a large-scale costume drama about palace fighting.

I have been communicating with the director over the phone these days and have almost finished discussing it. I can go for the audition with makeup on after I return to China."

Fade Chen opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Large-scale, ancient costume, palace fighting...through these words, he has vaguely guessed which drama it is.

He subconsciously wanted to persuade Zhou Xun, but he felt that it was inappropriate because he didn't seem to have any reasonable reason to persuade her not to take this role!

In the end, all the complicated emotions could only be reduced to one sentence: "Fix your makeup and get ready to start filming. You don't have many scenes left. You can go back a few days earlier if you want."

Zhou Xun immediately smiled happily: "Oh, thank you Director Chen."

……

On the 12th, a new Hollywood imported blockbuster "Gods of Egypt" was released in the domestic theater market.

The first-day box office of 4050.9 million was so impressive that it made many domestic film producers tremble with fear.

At the same time, the box office of "Zootopia", which was released on the 4th, has soared to 4.18 million, and the film has received excellent reputation!

Under the influence of these two films, the latest daily box office of "The Mermaid" has unfortunately dropped below 1000 million, and its box office potential is finally exhausted.

At this time, the total box office of this movie has surpassed "The Martian" and become No. 2 in the box office record list of Chinese-language films in history.

When Chen Fei woke up in the morning and watched the news, he found that many media outlets were praising "The Mermaid" as if it was a groundbreaking masterpiece.

As an investor, he naturally wants to see the media praise the film.

But as a director, he couldn't help but blush.

Because he knew very well that "The Mermaid" was not worthy of such massive praise.

The reason why this movie has such a high box office is purely because it ignited Zhou Xingchi's feelings, but other than that, the quality of the film is really average.

From now on, audiences and movie fans will no longer owe Stephen Chow movie tickets.

The time soon came to 12 noon. After finishing a scene where he was kidnapped by the enemy, Zhou Xun's scene was completely completed.

"Hey, everyone, keep busy. See you in the capital!"

She had already booked a flight ticket for the afternoon and was going to the airport after dinner.

She had been preparing for the large-scale ancient costume palace fighting theme TV series for several days and was just waiting to rush back for the audition.

Chen Fei said, "Be careful on the road, and remember to report safety when you land."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, director. Haha."

After dinner, Zhou Xun got in the car and left in a hurry, not noticing that Chen Fei was looking at her with a complicated look.

On the 13th, the news that the filming of "Soulmate" had been completed spread from Hong Kong throughout the film and television industry.

"The romantic film "July and Ansheng", jointly produced by Geek Films, Jiaying Films, and Alibaba Films, directed by Zeng Zhiwei's son Zeng Guoxiang, and starring Zhou Dongyu, Ma Sichun, Li Chengbin and others, has officially been announced to be completed."

"At the film wrap press conference, actor Zhou Dongyu burst into tears and thanked many seniors who helped him during the filming of the film."

"Eric Tsang made a surprise appearance at the wrap-up press conference for "Soulmate"... He embraced Zhou Dongyu and said that the Hong Kong film industry would always welcome her."

"..."

Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to this movie at first, but after reading one of the news reports, he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Isn't Zhou Dongyu a Mou Girl? She should be part of the mainland film industry. How did she fit into the Hong Kong film industry so easily?"

After muttering a few words to himself, full of doubts and confusion, he continued to devote himself to the filming of the literary part of "Operation Red Sea".

……

In a blink of an eye, time finally came to the 15th.

When filming the last literary scene of "Operation Red Sea", Chen Fei noticed that a lot of vehicles and many soldiers armed with live ammunition appeared one after another outside the set.

It was not until he shouted "Cut" and announced that all the scenes of "Operation Red Sea" were officially completed that the doors of several commercial vehicles outside were opened at the first moment, followed by the arrival of leaders one after another.

He had expected this and was not panicked at all. After giving instructions to Shen'ao, he went to greet the leaders first.

"Director Xu, Director Lin, Director Zhang..."

Looking around, all the people who came were leaders from the Navy. They were all wearing executive jackets and looked very leader-like.

Although the positions of the visitors were not high, Chen Fei still gave them due respect.

Fortunately, these people did not put on airs in front of him and each of them smiled gently.

One of them took the initiative to ask, "Director Chen, today is officially the end of the filming, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Chen Fei knew what they wanted and immediately invited them, "There will be a wrap-up press conference later. The leaders are here just in time. Please go take some photos and chat with the media..."

The purpose of these people coming here was for this moment, so naturally they would not refuse and nodded in agreement.

……

Time quickly came to the afternoon, and after the short wrap-up press conference ended, the news that "Operation Red Sea" was officially wrapped up was immediately reported back to China.

"The action and war film Operation Red Sea, co-produced by Haizheng, Feiyue Films, Golden Harvest Films, Guangguang, Shanghai Film Group, Wanda, China Film Group, Youku and other companies, with Chen Fei as director and screenwriter, and starring Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Huang Jingyu and others, was officially announced to be completed this morning." "Director Chen Fei said: Dianjing Digital will follow up on Operation Red Sea throughout the process, and it is expected to officially meet fans early next year."

"Many leaders from the Navy Art Department attended the wrap-up press conference for the movie Operation Red Sea and delivered important speeches!"

While many people in the circle were paying attention to the news online, Chen Fei was on the phone with Liu Yifei who was in China.

"When will you be back? I miss you so much. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Listening to Miss Liu's coquettish tone on the phone, Fade Chen felt his heartbeat begin to speed up.

How could he not want a sweet-smelling girlfriend?
"The plane will probably land at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Will you pick me up at the airport then?"

"Okay! Okay! I will be there on time."

The two of them talked about affectionate and private things for a while before turning the topic to business.

"How are the auditions for La La Land going?"

"It's all done!" Liu Yifei explained proudly, "I haven't announced it to the public yet. When you come back, please help me take a look at the cast list, and then we'll officially announce it. How about that?"

"Okay, no problem."

While chatting, Chen Fei packed his luggage and prepared to rush to the airport overnight.

In fact, no one wanted to stay in Morocco for too long, so after consulting everyone in the crew, the flight was scheduled for the evening.

In this way, you can arrive in China just after daybreak, and there will be no time difference.

Before boarding the plane, Chen Fei happened to see the latest announcement from Alibaba Pictures.

"The costume drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures and starring Yang Mi, Liu Kaiwei, and Zhang Zhiyao, adapted from the popular IP novel "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", was officially announced to be completed today."

……

Although the smog in the capital is quite serious, Chen Fei still feels that the air here is much better than that in Morocco.

Most of Morocco is desert, and the temperature is high, so it's like being in a steamer, making people extremely uncomfortable.

“It still feels good to be home.”

Chen Fei walked in the front, with Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi standing beside him. Bodyguards and assistants followed closely around him, looking very stylish!
The crowd did not choose to avoid the sight of the airport media and paparazzi because they knew that hiding was futile in such an occasion.

With such a large group of people, no matter how you try to hide it, it will be conspicuous, so it is better not to hide it at all.

As expected, as soon as they walked out of the passage, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters, paparazzi and fans.

Camera flashes kept flashing, and reporters asked questions one after another:

"Director Chen, what are your expectations for the box office performance of Operation Red Sea?"

"Director Chen, during the time you were away from China, Huayi and Wanda had an extremely vicious business competition. The former not only poached a vice president of the latter, but also took away as many as 28 senior executives. What do you think about this?"

"According to Wang Zhonglei's metaphor, Wanda is very harsh in the treatment of its own senior executives. As a partner of Wanda, are you aware of this situation?"

“If Wanda and Huayi face off in the future, which side will you choose to stand behind?”

“Will Wanda take targeted revenge against Huayi’s despicable tactics?”

As more and more people gathered around, the airport became packed.

Chen Fei knew clearly that if he didn't reveal some useful information today, these media and paparazzi would never let him leave!
After thinking for a moment, he had already made a decision in his mind.

Facing the curious and expectant eyes in front of him, he said directly: "Regarding the box office, I won't comment too much, because as a director, I naturally hope that the more the better, and it would be even better if it can surpass "Operation Mekong".

As for the conflict between Wanda and Huayi, I do have a few words to say. "

As soon as the words fell, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet!

A group of reporters held up their microphones, with "surprise" flashing in their eyes.

They really didn't expect that Chen Fei would publicly respond to this matter!
The next second, a loud voice rang in everyone's ears:

“I would like to use the media to convey a few words to Huayi. I hope that while developing your own business, you can also consider the views and feelings of your peers.

Poaching is normal in the industry, but I hope you can be moderate and not poach anyone you meet and engage in all kinds of despicable and unscrupulous behavior.

Many people from Pan Asia Cinemas, including Feiyue Films and Dianjing Digital, have reported to me that they were harassed by headhunters sent by Huayi.

I hope you can stop at the right time. If you continue to act on your own and use despicable means, don't blame me for being rude.

After all, if we are only comparing money, treatment, and conditions, I think I still have a lot of advantages. It’s best if everyone doesn’t make things too ugly…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the airport security rushed over.

Chen Fei led a group of people and quickly broke through the encirclement and arrived outside the airport.

Without waiting for the reporters and paparazzi behind to continue to gather around, he saw Liu Yifei's car at a glance and immediately rushed over in two steps.

By the time the group of people reacted, the business car had already driven away.

Although the reporters and paparazzi felt a little disappointed that they couldn't dig out more information from Chen Fei, they were still extremely excited at this moment.

"Big news! Big news!"

"Hurry up and finish the manuscript. Feiyue Films has issued a warning..."

"Hua Yi has incurred public wrath this time, offended Wanda, and was warned by Fade Chen. He will be punished at least if he doesn't die!"

……

In the car, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were being affectionate.

At the same time, his remarks at the airport had already topped the Weibo hot search list in less than 10 minutes!

"At 10 o'clock this morning, all members of the "Operation Red Sea" crew returned to the mainland from Morocco and appeared at the Capital Airport."

"In the face of the interview with the reporter, Director Chen Fei used the media to warn Huayi, asking the latter to put away their petty thoughts and not get involved..."

"According to director Chen Fei, employees of Pan Asia Cinemas, Feiyue Films, Dianjing Digital and other companies have all been harassed by headhunters sent by Huayi!"

“Although the attitude was not clearly stated, it can be analyzed from the tone of Director Chen Fei that Feiyue Films chose to stand on Wanda’s side in the conflict between Wanda and Huayi, and expressed serious dissatisfaction with Huayi!”

For a moment, the "water surface" that had originally calmed down was once again churning out huge waves!
Many investors did not expect that Chen Fei would target Huayi in such a public manner, and even used words such as "warning".

This shows how strong this dissatisfaction is!
"Huayi's move has directly pushed Feiyue Film and Wanda into an offensive and defensive alliance!"

"Hey, the two brothers of the Wang family have hit a wall this time."

"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. Are we going to start taking sides?"

"I always feel like Wanda is planning something big. I don't know how Big Boss Wang will do it. Can Huayi handle it?"

"Fight! Fight hard! I can't wait to watch the fun and enjoy the show, hahahaha!"

"Fuck, these two brothers are so cruel! It's ok that they poached Wanda, but they even attacked Feiyue Films. What are they trying to do? Do they have to offend all their peers to death?"

"I'm actually quite curious. Why haven't the senior executives from Feiyue Film and Television been poached? How generous a salary did Chen Fei offer to his employees?"
