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

Chapter 903 Commercial Film Support Plan Announced! Wang Baoqiang also wants to cross over and become a director?
At 24 pm on the 8th, the TV series "Dear Translator" starring Yang Mi, Huang Xuan and Gao Weiguang was officially launched.

Chen Fei is actually not very interested in this kind of TV series. In comparison, he still prefers comic adaptations or political intrigue dramas.

However, Miss Liu expressed her enthusiasm to watch this very popular TV series which has been promoted recently.

"I was so sick watching Chinese Paladin 5 last night. I heard this drama is pretty good. It's just the right time to watch it to refresh my eyes."

What can Chen Fei do now that his girlfriend has said so?
I have no choice but to pamper her.

However, it would have been better if they hadn’t seen it… After seeing it, the two were immediately disappointed!

"What's wrong with Yang Mi's acting skills and her face? How come she is completely different from before? She has changed so much!"

Chen Fei frowned and stared at it for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.

"It should be a minor adjustment. The line of the chin is a little rounder than before, but the overall change is not that big."

"Fine-tuning?" Liu Yifei's voice unconsciously rose a little: "By doing this, isn't she worried about not having the resources for big-screen movies?"

"No." Chen Fei tried to analyze from an objective perspective: "According to her current fame, she will definitely not lack film resources, but at best she can only act in some IP-related movies, forget about big productions."

As he spoke, he observed Yang Mi's acting skills.

Unfortunately, her acting skills have deteriorated significantly compared to when she filmed the first "Seattle" part.

Of course, this may also be because he has been busy with multiple filming projects and it is difficult to get into the right state.

After watching for a while, Liu Yifei lost interest, so she simply turned off the TV and opened Youku to watch "The Undocumented Crime".

In comparison, the drama "The Undocumented Crime" is much better than "Chinese Paladin 5" and "Dear Translator"!
The only regret is that this web drama has only 12 episodes, which is not enough to watch.

"If there is a chance, how about we also shoot a TV series?"

What Liu Yifei suddenly said made Chen Fei slightly stunned.

Then, he smiled and said, "Okay, when I have some free time, I'll write a TV show script for you and we can go play together."

"Yeah, we agreed! Don't forget it."

"Don't worry, I won't forget it."

……

Affected by the negative reviews of "Chinese Paladin 5" and the attacks by the internet trolls, the ratings of "Dear Translator" were not particularly high on the second day after its premiere.

Maoyan's overall score is only 7 points, and most of the comments are negative.

"Two brothers from the same family who are not related by blood, they are constantly dealing with two women, all four of them have been together, and the female lead has a brain tumor like in a Korean drama. Oh my god, this is so bloody!"

"I feel that Yang Mi's acting skills have deteriorated drastically, and the characters in the TV series all have serious personality flaws. The plot is even more unbearable to watch."

"Although the plot has contributed several pairs of eye-catching couples, with gorgeous clothes and beautiful faces, they are beautiful, but the filtered pictures cannot hide the fact that there is no spark between their eyebrows and eyes. It can be seen that they did not study the story and the script carefully..."

On Jiaxing's side, the smiles from last night were no longer on Yang Mi and Zeng Jia's faces.

"Mi Mi, don't worry too much. Although the online ratings are not very high, they can be improved. At least our ratings are still very good, right?"

Yang Mi nodded slightly, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.

The TV series has been launched, and she has done all the necessary promotion. What follows is a matter of the platform and public relations, so she will not get involved.

Anyway, in her opinion, as long as it is not worse than "Chinese Paladin 5", it's fine.

The former only has a Maoyan score of 4.9, which is even worse than "The Interpreter".

She has succeeded in being the tallest among the short people.

"I won't be in charge of the rest of the matter. I'll leave the online marketing and promotion to you. I'll be following up on the promotion of 'Reverse Time Rescue' with Huo Jianhua, Jin Shijie and others."

"Okay." Zeng Jia nodded gently, but the next second she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right! Mimi, there is something I need to tell you."

"What?" Yang Mi, who was about to walk out, stopped and looked over curiously.

"Yaolai Pictures said that they will work with New Clue Films to take this film to film festivals such as Houston and Toronto to win awards. We hope that we can fully cooperate."

"Houston? Toronto?"

Yang Mi was immediately interested, but soon her face was filled with a hint of doubt: "How exactly do I do it? Going abroad to win awards requires a lot of time and energy. Can I succeed?"

"Don't worry about that!"

Zeng Jia said confidently: "Have you forgotten who is the chairman of Yaolai Pictures? Chen Long's influence abroad is beyond your imagination. If he wants to win an award, there are still many people willing to give him this face."

Hearing this, Yang Mi was delighted and quickly asked, "Can you get me a Best Actress award?"

"Movie Queen? I need to discuss this with them, and it may require some funds."

"Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. The influence brought by a movie queen cannot be compared with short-term benefits." Yang Mi's mind was working very quickly at this moment, as if she was in charge of a strategy.

"What you said does make sense. If you can win an award or something, it will help your fame and pay..."

Zeng Jia muttered to herself for a while, and immediately made a decision: "You go and do your work first, I'll talk to Yao Lai and try to get you a Best Actress award!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she immediately walked out quickly.

She had a lot of plans for the afternoon, including several activities to attend, so she couldn't afford to delay for even a moment.

……

In the blink of an eye, a new day has arrived.

Early in the morning, several news items about movie release dates suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"LeTV Pictures released an announcement: The action and comedy film "The Bounty Hunter" directed by Shin Tae-lok and starring Lee Min-ho, Zhong Hanliang, and Tang Yan has been officially announced to be released on July 7 and will compete in the summer season!"

"The Hollywood imported action blockbuster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will be released on July 2, and the mainland distributor will be Alibaba Pictures."

"Tangde Pictures released an announcement: The action and comedy blockbuster "Skiptrace" directed by Renny Harlin and starring Chen Long, Fan Bingbing, Eve Torres, Johnny Knashville and others has been scheduled to be released on July 7 and will compete in the summer vacation..."

Three movies in a row have been announced to be released during the summer vacation, and they are a combination of Chinese-language movies + Hollywood imported blockbusters + Sino-foreign co-productions!

For a time, many small and medium-sized domestic film companies were devastated!

This year has been bad enough. May and June were dominated by Hollywood blockbusters. Now even July is so competitive. How can people survive?

Many people now inexplicably begin to miss the time when Han Sanping was in power.

Back then, in order to give those small and medium-sized film companies a chance to "survive", San Ye even created the "domestic film protection period".

All imported films, no matter which company sent them, were thrown into the same day to compete, which was obviously a lose-lose situation, thus gaining screening time for domestic films.

The best "actual combat case" is "Batman vs. Spider-Man", which was "astonishing" to both the mainland and Hollywood circles at the time!
But now that La Pai Kang has taken over, although he is also trying to give Chinese-language films opportunities, his methods have inexplicably become much softer.

This also led to the fact that many low-cost Chinese-language films could not withstand the siege of Hollywood blockbusters and died miserably!
Take a movie like "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" for example. If the producer hadn't begged for screening, it probably wouldn't even have made 1000 million at the box office, let alone the current 1 million.

Of course, this dilemma unique to small and medium-sized film companies will not happen to Chen Fei.

Because the movies produced by Feiyue Films have never been afraid of Hollywood imported blockbusters, and it has chosen to go head-on more than once or twice, so he doesn't care much about the films made by China Film.

It's enough to just make sure that your own movies don't end up killing each other.

"Has the notice been sent out?" At this time, on the set of "La La Land", Ning Hao, who had flown from the capital to Hengdian, was looking at Chen Fei's laptop screen with great interest, looking like a curious baby.

Fade Chen replied without even turning his head: "It has been sent. Wait, you will be busy next."

"Haha!" Ning Hao was overjoyed: "Be busy, be busy. It's boring to stay at home. I might as well go out for a walk more often."

"You! You need to exercise more..."

"Let's not talk about this. I bought several beautiful gold chains in Cannes. Would you like to choose one to wear? They are very handsome!"

"I won't wear it. Has no one ever complained about you? You look like a gangster wearing that gold chain..."

The two of them were chatting about a lot of things in the crew, but at this moment, the Internet was already boiling like scalding water!
"Reprinted from Feiyue Films' latest announcement:

Feiyue Films Chairman Chen Fei has decided that from now on, Feiyue Films will create a policy called "Commercial Film Support Plan";

This policy will be applicable to the entire film and television industry, and its specific contents are as follows:

Our company welcomes directors and screenwriters with creative abilities to submit their works to our company. As long as your script, project, or idea can pass our review, we will provide money, resources, personnel, and equipment to help you fulfill your dream of becoming a director and bringing your work to the big screen.

We welcome talented, capable and courageous people to discuss cooperation and submit manuscripts. Feiyu Film and Television can help you raise whatever you lack and help you realize your wishes.

This support plan will be led by Director Chen Fei, Chairman of our company, European triple-gold Grand Slam director, four-time Oscar winner for Best Picture, global commercial film box office holder, and Chinese-language film box office record holder, who will personally review the manuscripts.

At the same time, Director Ning Hao, who has won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and is a member of the domestic 20 billion box office director club, will be the producer and will guide the filming step by step..."

Commercial film support plan?

Feiyue Films gives full support?

Chen Fei is responsible for reviewing and approving manuscripts?

Ning Hao is responsible for production supervision and guidance?

At this moment, seeing this notice, the entire film and television industry was in an uproar!

Looking around, most directors and screenwriters who have backgrounds, resources and backing are not very interested in this "commercial film support plan."

After watching the video, these people can only sigh that Feiyue Films is really awesome, rich, and powerful.

But those who are frustrated, lack resources, have no background, have been unable to find investment, and hope to switch to become directors are all excited!

Especially those directing graduates from Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy and other institutions, they have already started cheering!

Every year, there are at least hundreds of people graduating from the directing departments of major art colleges, but the vast majority of them simply cannot find an opportunity to direct a play.

Looking around, most people are either shooting MVs, or shooting commercials, or simply going into the adult industry.

There is no shortage of capable people among this group, and some even have outstanding creative abilities, but because they have no background, they can only accept their fate in the end.

But now, with the "Commercial Film Support Plan" announced by Chen Fei, everyone seems to have seen hope!
You know, the "New Art Film Revival Plan" previously founded by Chen Fei, Jia Zhangke and Pan Asia Cinemas has trained many outstanding art film directors.

And now, following the "Literary Film Recovery Plan", the "Commercial Film Support Plan" has also made its grand debut. It is obvious that it is aimed at discovering talents!
There has been a lot of discussion online about this:

"Director Chen is so damn handsome. This gives us 'common' directors a chance to rise!"

"Brothers, let's get started! Send the scripts over quickly if you have any. Even if we don't get selected, it's an honor for us to be seen by Director Chen!"

"This may be the only chance for ordinary directing graduates to rise."

"Fuck! I've been planning to quit my job and work in the entertainment industry for a few years, but I didn't expect there would be such a commercial film support program. I finally have a chance!"

"Fuck, shouldn't this kind of film support program be the responsibility of the Beijing Film Academy? When I was filming my graduation drama, they only gave me 10,000 yuan, which almost made me sick to death."

"You actually still believe those people in the school? Haha, they would rather invest in "Dreaming of Show Business" than give us a penny."

Along with the heated discussions online, major investors in the circle are also discussing it.

"I'm very curious now, what is his purpose in doing this? Is he doing good deeds? Is he preparing to train new people? Or is he casting a wide net? Looking for real talents?"

"Maybe both... Once this operation is launched, there will definitely be a lot of people going there, and maybe they will find a good horse."

"Why don't we try to learn it?"

"It's meaningless. We can't compete with Feiyue Films. They are rich and powerful, and they don't care if they lose. But we can't afford to gamble. What's more, Chen Fei and Ning Hao's reputation is the basis of attracting people. Which other director has the confidence to ensure that the movies they direct can make money?"

"Ali doesn't follow this. We follow the big IP route, which is fundamentally different from them."

……

For the whole afternoon, while Chen Fei was busy filming, Ning Hao was busy in front of the computer for several hours.

It was not until the evening, when the filming of "La La Land" was finished for the day, that he excitedly came to Chen Fei with his computer.

"You know what, there are indeed quite a few talented people who have been drowned..."

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked over curiously: "Are there any good stories?"

"Yes, look at this." Chen Fei pointed at the computer screen and introduced, "I think this script is pretty good. It's set in a music school and tells the story of a nervous girl named Chen Jing and her male best friend "Youzha", as well as a group of girls who love folk music, who form a folk instrument band to fight against a Western band and gain youth and friendship.

There is also this documentary director named Guo Ke, who wants to film the stories of Chinese women who were forced to serve as "comfort women" during the Anti-Japanese War. I think that's also pretty good."

While listening to Ning Hao's words, Chen Fei scanned the screen.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "The story is indeed well written. You can try to contact them. It seems that the investment will not be too large. If you can support them, then support them."

"Well, okay."

The two were talking when suddenly, Fade Chen's cell phone rang.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button and asked, "Hello? Baoqiang? What's going on?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Baoqiang on the other end of the phone asked cautiously, "Director Chen, can I participate in your commercial film support program?"

"Yes! Anyone can do it, as long as..."

As he was speaking, Fade Chen suddenly paused, looking quite surprised: "You mean, you also want to try to be a director?!"

"Yes." Wang Baoqiang's simple and honest laugh came over the phone: "I have opened a studio, so besides filming and running promotional activities, I suddenly have a lot of free time.

Then some time ago I rewatched a lot of the movies I acted in, and I was quite interested in Lost on Journey and Lost in Thailand, so I tried to write a story myself. ”

"Continuation of the '囧' series?" Chen Fei asked uncertainly, already beginning to feel surprised.

"Yes." Wang Baoqiang said embarrassedly: "It mainly describes a series of stories that happened in Hong Kong. I don't know if what I wrote is good enough."

Chen Fei's eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed his shock: "Send the script to me. You should know my email address, right? Send it to me and I'll take a look at it for you first."

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Baoqiang's throat rolled, unable to hide his inner excitement and excitement.

Tong Liya, who was sitting next to him, had just listened to the entire conversation between the two and now also had a big smile on her face.

Seeing that Wang Baoqiang was still in a daze, she hurriedly urged him, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Send the script to Director Chen right away. If he likes it, you can become a director!"

“Hehe.” Wang Baoqiang smiled foolishly and replied, “Okay, I’ll send it to Director Chen right away.”

As they were talking, Wang Baoqiang extracted a script titled "Lost in Hong Kong" from the document and forwarded it directly to Chen Fei.
