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

Chapter 879: "Pure Heart, Chasing the Dream of the Entertainment Industry", ten years of hard work???
In the afternoon, in the chairman’s office of Huayi Group.

Wang Zhongjun looked very unhappy when he saw the news reported online about Chen Fei warning Huayi not to continue using despicable means.

It has been half a month since then, and they finally managed to suppress the trending searches online.

But now, after Chen Fei’s remarks, various controversies have been sparked on the Internet again!

At first, when facing Wanda, they were able to rely on "sophisticated" remarks and collude with the media to control the direction of public opinion in their favor.

The phrase "people always strive for higher positions" directly suppressed all the accusations and criticisms from Wanda.

But they never expected Chen Fei to come in!

When he revealed to the public that Huayi had also hired headhunters to poach employees from Feiyue Films, it meant that Huayi's behavior was pure "evil"!
Successively attacking two companies in the industry can no longer be described as normal personnel changes, it is purely vicious business competition!
The direction of public opinion changed instantly, and the "majestic" image that Huayi had worked so hard to create collapsed into ruins.

Looking around, there are many people cursing, mocking and slandering them online, which is very unfavorable for a listed company.

"What does this have to do with him? It's pure slander. When did we go to headhunters in large numbers to harass his employees? He has to pay the price and legal responsibility for his words..."

Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he started to storm around the office.

When he just came back from outside the company, he was blocked by the media. The questions they threw at him were sharper than the last, and they hit him right in the heart!

Wang Zhongjun was not as angry as he was, and remained calm: "Are there a lot of reporters downstairs?"

"Yes, a lot. There are also a steady stream of media coming from all directions. Chen Fei's interview at the airport has seriously affected the reputation of our company..."

Wang Zhonglei was about to call the legal team and threatened to sue Chen Fei in court.

However, Wang Zhongjun stopped him in time: "Don't waste your energy, it's useless."

"So what should we do now? Should we just let him slander us? The company's reputation has been affected, and the stock price has even started to fluctuate..."

"Try your best to suppress this topic, and remember not to provoke a bigger conflict..."

Wang Zhongjun's face was gloomy, and his words were almost forced out from between his teeth.

He was also very angry and annoyed, but he knew that now was definitely not a good time to offend Chen Fei.

Wanda's covetous gaze had already made him nervous. If he were to go against Feiyue Films now, it would be equivalent to directly offending the two major domestic cinema chains.

He didn't dare to bet that the two families would join forces to trip him up.

If the situation really comes to this, Huayi will be in big trouble!
Wang Zhonglei felt aggrieved when listening to his brother's words, but he had to control his anger after thinking about it.

If they were only facing Wanda, they would still have confidence, but if Feiyue Film and Television were added, the uncertainty would be too great!

"I'll do it now. Let's get rid of those reporters and paparazzi first."

"Well, go ahead, calm down. Let's finish wrestling with Wanda first, then we can deal with him. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

……

As the night deepens, desire becomes more intense!
After fighting for more than two hours, both sides finally stopped and prepared to fight again on another day.

Liu Yifei's cheeks were flushed as she lay quietly in Chen Fei's arms, enjoying this rare warm moment.

"Would you like to take a break first and then start filming La La Land?"

"Yeah, we definitely won't be able to start filming in the short term." Chen Fei briefly explained, "Tomorrow I have to attend the wrap-up report meeting for Operation Red Sea, and then I have to go to the company to sort out the materials and deal with other accumulated matters.

April, let’s wait until the beginning of April and officially start shooting, how about that?”

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Then find some time to give me the cast list, and I'll check it sometime and let them familiarize themselves with the script first."

"Yeah, okay."

The serious business was finished in a few words, and the atmosphere of a long-awaited marriage began to spread. This night was destined not to be too peaceful.

~

The next morning, at the invitation of the Navy, Chen Fei got up early and went to the Navy Art Center.

Unlike other commercial films, this kind of main-theme commercial films usually need to make reports because of the need for "political achievements".

After working on the two movies "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Operation Mekong", Chen Fei has already become familiar with this kind of reporting.

In these kinds of meetings, leaders usually speak and the others just listen.

All he needed to do as the director was to talk about the process and details of the filming after the leader's speech, and how to reflect the "majesty" of the navy in the entire film, and that was all.

However, what he didn't know was that at the same time, a meeting very similar to that at the Navy Bureau was also taking place at the Film Bureau.

In the huge conference hall, many leaders of the Film Bureau were sitting together.

Looking around, Tong Gang, Zhang Hong, La Peikang, and everyone from the audit department were all sitting on the left and right sides of the conference table.

If this was an internal meeting of the bureau, the person sitting in the main seat should be the leader of the Film Bureau.

But today is different.

Both Tong Gang and Zhang Hong were sitting below at this time, listening to the speeches of the "leaders" from other departments.

“The success and influence of “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy” and “Operation Mekong” undoubtedly prove that mainstream theme movies are very beneficial to military and political propaganda.

The Navy Political Department launched "Operation Red Sea", which once again attracted great attention from the outside world and further confirmed the effectiveness of the publicity.

Therefore, we at the Air Force Political Department were also inspired and are preparing to release a movie with the Air Force as the main character..."

After listening to their leader's words, Tong Gang and Zhang Hong looked at each other and both had the thought, "As expected."

In fact, they had already guessed that after the army, police and navy, the air force would definitely not just sit there and watch.

As expected, as soon as "Operation Red Sea" was announced to be completed, people came here.

"So what kind of cooperation do we need? Find a director? A screenwriter? A production team? Or..."

Tong Gang has decided to bring out his number one favorite general.

The success of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Operation Mekong" has confirmed Chen Fei's talent in mainstream commercial films.

As long as we ask him to write the script and direct it, it will be great!
However, just as he was thinking about how to tell Fade Chen about this, he heard the leader of the Air Force Political Department say, "The Film Bureau only needs to cooperate with the publicity and some review issues.

As for the script, director, and production team, we already have the right people, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

"Um?!"

Tong Gang's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, with a hint of doubt on his face.

The Air Force had actually found the script, director, and production team all by themselves? This was really beyond his expectations.

You know, mainstream commercial films are not that easy to shoot. Chen Fei has publicly shared a lot of experience before, but it still left a group of leaders confused and at a loss.

Even Zhang Yimou has publicly said that when it comes to mainstream movies, he is not as good as Chen Fei and that it will be difficult for him to succeed.

But now, the Air Force said that it has found a suitable candidate...

In an instant, the three words "backdoor" suddenly came to everyone's mind.

"I don't know which compound this kid is from? With such a big fuss, I hope he won't cry and ask the elders to come out to cover the consequences in the end."

Tong Gang muttered to himself, but said something else: "Don't worry, leader, the bureau will fully cooperate with us."

"That's good. I came here today just to say hello to you. Try not to spread this project out yet. When everything is ready, we will arrange for someone to announce it to the public."

"it is good."

Tong Gang responded softly, and couldn't help but become more curious about the person with connections.

The military and political officials' meaning is very clear. You just need to cooperate with the bureau, and you don't have to be responsible for anything else. There is another meaning in this statement, which is: this opportunity to "become famous", we have other people to use!
Everyone cooperated and there was no objection.

Only La Peikang, who came to attend the meeting, could not hide his excitement and excitement, because he suddenly discovered that China Film Group could have a part in this project again, which would be a political achievement!
He thought to himself, "China Film only got 5% of the share of Operation Red Sea, which is almost negligible, but there are many things we can do with this project of the Air Force Political Department. I must get a sufficient share this time!"

……

In the afternoon, after leaving the Navy, Fade Chen went straight to the company.

During the period when he was filming "Operation Red Sea", the company confirmed several new film projects, which are now waiting for him to sign.

Without his approval, these projects will have to wait and will not be qualified to be launched.

The Mercedes-Benz business car sped all the way and soon arrived downstairs of the company.

Pushing open the car door, Fade Chen immediately saw several paparazzi and reporters squatting near the company.

Seeing a group of people looking towards him with great interest, he frowned slightly, ignored them, and walked quickly towards the company's entrance.

However, as soon as he entered the company, he saw Ning Hao and Lu Yang walking out in a hurry.

"What are you two going to do in such a hurry?"

"Ouch, you scared me!" Ning Hao raised his head suddenly, and stopped immediately when he saw that the person asking the question was Chen Fei.

Lu Yang, who was standing by, also stopped and greeted him, "Director Chen."

Ning Hao briefly explained why he was in such a hurry: "We are going back to Beijing Film Academy right now."

"Go back to Beijing Film Academy?" Chen Fei was a little confused: "Why? Is there any event going to be held in the school?"

"Ah." Lu Yang next to him sighed and took over the topic: "I heard that a director emerged from the Academy of Performing Arts and made a great movie. They are going to hold a film screening at the school.

We happened to be in the capital, so they called us and wanted to invite us back to participate in the event, to show our support, to give some suggestions, etc.”

"A great director came out of the acting school?"

Chen Fei was a little confused for a moment. How come he had never heard of a big director appearing in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy besides himself? When did he do that?

Ning Hao continued, "This guy is pretty awesome. He graduated from an acting school with a bachelor's degree and a graduate school degree. He was later admitted to Peking University and is studying for a doctorate in film and television. He is only 37 years old this year. He is definitely a top student."

After hearing all these academic qualifications and titles, Fade Chen immediately remembered who it was.

"Is that Bi Zhifei? You guys are not going to attend the movie "Pure Mind: Chasing the Dream of Show Business" that premiered at the San Francisco Universal International Film Festival last year, right?"

"Yes, yes! It's him!"

Lu Yang looked expectant. "I heard that Bi Zhifei spent 10 years to make this movie. The script was revised and polished more than 30 times. He spent a year selecting and training the actors. The editing took 10 months. He worked very hard and meticulously, and he took out the attitude and patience of 'grinding an iron rod into a needle', and he 'carved' out a movie second by second..."

Listening to Lu Yang's serious description, Fade Chen forced himself to hold back his laughter, fearing that he would burst out laughing on the spot.

"Hey, hey, you two should hurry up and come back to tell me what kind of 'masterpiece' this doctor of film and television studies has produced!"

"Okay, we'll go first."

Time was urgent, so Ning Hao and Lu Yang didn't talk much with Chen Fei. They went out together and headed straight for Beijing Film Academy.

It was not until they got into the elevator that Fade Chen finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Hahaha, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword? Grind an iron rod into a needle? Aren't you afraid of laughing your head off?"

……

In the afternoon, just as Chen Fei was immersed in his new job, Huang Xiaoming on the other side also began to look for his next new play.

He felt very honored to be able to participate in the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

Because Chen Fei told them privately that "Operation Red Sea" was intended to compete with "Operation Mekong", and the box office would definitely not be less than 30 billion!
He couldn't hide his excitement when he thought that he could also have a masterpiece with a box office of 30 billion.

What’s different from the way others celebrate is that when he is happy, he thinks about “rewarding” himself.

So, after a day's rest, Huang Xiaoming took Yang Ying straight to Huace Film & TV.

After years of investment and development, he has already established a very deep friendship with Huace Film & TV.

What the outside world doesn’t know is that he is actually now one of the shareholders of Huace Film & TV, and this is why he can frequently obtain resources from Huace.

When he arrived at the company, he went straight to the production department as if he was familiar with the place.

The vice president in charge of production business was already an old acquaintance of Huang Xiaoming. As soon as they met, he smiled and joked: "Hey? You two got here really fast!"

"Haha, of course. After all, I can't just stay at home and wait for the script to come to me, right?"

Huang Xiaoming sat down on the chair calmly, as if he was back home.

"Haha, your attitude is quite correct."

While joking, the vice president of Huace's production department opened the safe and took out a script.

Huang Xiaoming reached out to take it and began to read it without hesitation.

Yang Ying, who was standing nearby, also leaned over and started to watch with great curiosity.

Seeing this, the vice president began to introduce the basic situation of the TV series script to the couple in front of him:

"The script is adapted from Tong Hua's popular novel IP "Once Promised", which tells the heart-wrenching and beautiful love story between 'Mu Qingmo', who came from a famous family in ancient times, and 'Chi Yun', who was extremely talented..."

Huang Xiaoming was listening to the introduction while flipping through the script.

His eyes jumped across the script, as if he was deeply attracted by the plot and characters.

However, at this time, Yang Ying frowned slightly and said, "Tong Hua? She is the author of "The Desert Ballad" and "Song in the Clouds", right? The TV series adapted from her first two novels did not receive very good reviews..."

As the heroine of "The Legend of Yun Xi", Yang Ying can be said to have suffered greatly!
She was almost driven into autism by netizens and audiences because of this TV series, so she couldn't help but have some doubts about Tong Hua's new work.

Huang Xiaoming also raised his head at this time, with a look of suspicion on his face.

"Don't worry." The vice president of Huace explained with a smile: "'Once Promised' is not a historical theme, but a classical mythology theme full of creativity and imagination. It will never happen like 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'The Legend of Yun Xi'."

After hearing this, the two felt relieved.

After spending half an hour reading the script, Huang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction.

"I quite like the character 'Chiyun', the ancient war god of Ruojiang. He has lived in the mountains since he was a child and can command all kinds of beasts... He is quite domineering!"

Yang Ying, who was standing by, couldn't wait to ask, "The role of Mu Qingmo is pretty good, can I play it?"

Hearing this, the vice president of the production department who was sitting opposite the two of them shook his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, the leading actress has already been decided. It was decided by President Zhao himself."

"Is that so? Okay then." Although Yang Ying felt a little regretful, she didn't say much.

Since the female lead was chosen by the CEO of Huace himself, she must have gotten in through connections, so no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless.

But at this moment, the vice president of the production department said, "Although this project has no chance, there are still others. If you are interested, you can try another new TV series project that has been recently confirmed but not officially announced yet."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying looked over and asked in unison: "What new project?"

"It is also an adaptation of a popular IP novel called "The Princess Weiyoung". It tells the story of how Chu Beijie, the King of Zhenbei in Jin, and Bai Pingting, the "female Zhuge Liang" in Yan, were attracted to each other in a turbulent world with frequent wars and unpredictable separations and reunions. They went through countless storms together and thus began a love story."

Yang Ying became interested as soon as she heard it: "That's great! When will the auditions start? I want to give it a try."

"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry?" Huang Xiaoming said with a smile, "It's getting late, Mr. Liu, please give me some courtesy and let's go have dinner together, how about that?"

You know, some things are much more likely to be successful when discussed over a dinner table than in the office!
