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

Chapter 904: La La Land is finished! Thank you Uncle Wang! Go beat up The Great Wall?
The story of "Lost in Hong Kong" is actually not that complicated, because its story framework is very similar to that of "Lost in Thailand", and it can even be said to be of the same origin.

But what Chen Fei and Ning Hao found difficult to "accept" was that it was actually written by Wang Baoqiang!
After spending a whole hour reading the script, the two looked at each other and actually saw "shock" in each other's eyes!
Ning Hao leaned back on the chair and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this! This kid actually has this ability, he's really good at hiding it!"

Chen Fei tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.

"This is called genius! A person who has never taken an acting class can actually play the two roles of 'Mr. Shu' and 'Feng Yuxiu' just by relying on his own thinking. At the same time, he can also switch to 'Tang Ren'. This shows that he has great potential!"

Ning Hao nodded in approval and brought the topic back to the script: "What do you think?"

Chen Fei replied: "The story is well written, but the framework and details are a bit rough. If we polish it carefully, it will definitely be a great success!"

"Then let's give him a hand?"

"Okay, let's use this script as the start of our plan."

"Haha, OK, then I'll contact him tomorrow and help him lay out the script framework, and then we'll start preparations."

"Well, I'll give the company a heads up, and someone will come to fully cooperate with your work."

Both of them were very decisive people, and they had arranged the plan in just a few words.

Overnight, a lot of new entertainment news appeared on the Internet.

"The romantic comedy film "Passing By Your World", jointly produced by Enlight Media and Orange Image and starring Deng Chao, Bai Baihe, Yang Yang, Yue Yunpeng, Liu Yan and others, was announced to be completed yesterday evening, and the press conference will be held in Chongqing this morning.

It is reported that the film has been confirmed to be released on September 9, joining the National Day box office competition.”

"Huace Films announced: The love and fantasy film "Love O8O" starring Yang Ying and Jing Boran will be released on August 12 this year."

"Bona Film Group and Universal Pictures jointly announced that the Hong Kong-Mainland co-production film "Dangerous City", starring Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Peng Yuyan, with Wu Jing, Yuan Quan, Jiang Shuying and others as supporting roles, will also be released on August 8 this year."

On the way to the set, Fade Chen looked at the release date announcement on Weibo and couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Dong.

The mainland film market has already developed to the stage where it is almost competing with Hollywood, but I don’t know what Bona Film Group is thinking. They just like to flatter the Hong Kong film industry.

Whenever Bona collaborates with Hong Kong, it always likes to cast Hong Kong artists as the protagonists, and then invites a few mainland artists to play supporting roles.

Wu Jing was also very unlucky. He owed too many favors, and then had to repay them when they came to him.

So in the end, the situation turned into what it was like 10 years ago where mainland actors were carrying the sedan chair for Hong Kong actors.

"If you keep on courting disaster like this, you'll be doomed sooner or later. Why go public? What the hell is going on the market?"

Chen Fei couldn't help but complain out loud, and his eyes rolled around as a bunch of bad ideas came out.

Fatty Yu has been very close to Alibaba recently. No one knows what the two companies are plotting, but it is definitely not a good thing.

It seems like it would be a good idea to put some more pressure on them.

……

It was exactly 9 o'clock, and the last scene of "La La Land" began to be filmed.

At the same time, Ning Hao was also talking on the phone with Wang Baoqiang.

"Director Ning? Do you mean that my script is good enough? Director Chen is willing to invest in me? And let me be the director and make a movie?"

Listening to Wang Baoqiang's excited voice on the other end of the phone, Ning Hao laughed: "That's right, Director Chen said that he is very optimistic about your story.

However, your script is too crudely written, and needs to be revised, especially the story structure, which must be rebuilt..."

Wang Baoqiang listened excitedly at first, but became more and more confused as time went on.

"Director Ning, what you said is too profound. I don't understand! How about I find a screenwriting teacher to learn from? Continue to write a better script?"

"Why are you looking for a screenwriting teacher? I'm here. I'll help you when the time comes. Now just listen to me carefully and study it slowly!"

"Okay! You talk, I'll listen..."

Wang Baoqiang was in a panic and quickly turned on the recording function on his mobile phone, preparing to study it carefully after Ning Hao finished speaking.

This kind of opportunity to attend lectures is so rare, and one word from others may be worth more than a month of hard study!

……

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the mountain city of Chongqing, the wrap-up press conference of the movie "Passing by Your World" was held.

When facing the interview of the reporter, Wang Changtian boasted without blushing at all, saying that he would sell out the entire National Day period and step on "Fantasy City" which was released at the same time.

No matter whether it can be realized or not, just blow it out first. It will be beneficial for everyone to stir up the heat.

Although Liu Yan was not the heroine of this movie, and could only be considered the third female lead at best, she was standing very close to the front of the crowd.
Moreover, many reporters would deliberately target her during interviews.

However, when those reporters asked questions, they would more or less bring the topic towards "Wolf Warrior 2", which made her inexplicably nervous.

It is taboo to talk about another movie in the current film crew. After all, her status is far from enough to allow her to "do whatever she wants" in the crew.

Under no other circumstances, she had to take the initiative to speak: "Wolf Warrior 2 will probably start filming in June, and there will be a press conference at that time. If you have any questions, you can go there to ask. Today's press conference is mainly about Passing By Your World, so please understand..."

Wang Changtian watched silently from the side and nodded imperceptibly.

High emotional intelligence, good looks, good personality... If he can find a suitable backer, then he will definitely have a smooth career in the entertainment industry.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is a good opportunity. If the box office can exceed 10 billion, Liu Yan's status will definitely rise.

By then, she will no longer be the little host who can be bullied by anyone.

Wang Changtian was thinking, when suddenly, his secretary came over and whispered in his ear: "Director Wang, Chen Hong came to the crew and said she wanted to meet you."

"Who? Chen Hong?"

"Yes." The secretary replied, "Brother Chen Kai's wife, Chen Hong."

"She came by herself?" Wang Changtian turned around and asked in a low voice.

"There is another young man who looks a bit like Director Chen Kai. If I'm guessing correctly, he should be the young master of Director Chen Kai's family."

The two chatted, avoiding the media's attention, and soon came to the backstage of the crew.

When he saw Chen Hong and Chen Feiyu, Wang Changtian began to think in confusion.

If he remembered correctly, Guangguang and Brother Chen Kai seemed to have no cooperation in recent years. Now these two came uninvited, which really seemed a bit weird.

"Mr. Wang, excuse me for interrupting you."

"Producer Chen, don't bother me. Welcome..."

"Fei Yu, what are you standing there for? Call someone, this is the chairman of Guangxian."

"Hello, Uncle Wang."

After greeting each other, Wang Changtian blinked slightly in confusion and waited quietly for Chen Hong to speak.

"We flew here specially from the Tangcheng Film and Television Base." Chen Hong first expressed her sincerity, and then continued: "The main reason I came here today is to ask for a favor from Director Wang. Actually, Brother Kai should have come here in person, but he couldn't leave for Legend of the Demon Cat, so I had to make the trip myself."

"Asking for a favor?"

These four words were like a flash of lightning, instantly making Wang Changtian alert.

The name "The Wandering Earth" instantly popped up in his mind. After all, too many people had contacted him before.

Moreover, he was also aware that Brother Chen Kai and his wife wanted to promote their youngest son to be an actor.

Thinking of this, Wang Changtian's eyes swept over Chen Feiyu inconspicuously, and he shook his head gently to refuse: "If Producer Chen also has ideas about "The Wandering Earth", you can contact Mr. Chen. I can't help much here. Guangguang only has investment rights, not the qualifications for controlling the film."

Chen Hong was slightly startled when he heard this, and immediately realized that Wang Changtian was thinking in the wrong direction.

She chuckled and explained, "Boss Wang, you misunderstood. I didn't come here for The Wandering Earth. That kind of project is not something Feiyu can afford."

Several characters in "The Wandering Earth" have become very clear now, and among them "Liu Qi" and "Han Duoduo" are undoubtedly the goals pursued by many young actors.

But everyone knows that such an important role will never be revealed and will inevitably be digested internally. Chen Hong did want to ask Chen Fei for this role before. After all, if Chen Feiyu can be selected, it can be said that "debut is the peak".

But on second thought, she felt that she was just daydreaming.

How could Feiyue Films agree to let Chen Feiyu play such an important role?
So, after careful selection, she set her sights on light.

After hearing what Chen Hong said, Wang Changtian became curious: "It's not The Wandering Earth? What is it?"

Chen Hong did not answer immediately, but took out a document from her bag and handed it to Wang Changtian.

It was a copy of Guangxian's project plan for the second half of the year, and one of the youth films was prominently listed!

She said with a smile: "As we all know, Guangguang's youth films are well-known in the industry for their high box office and high traffic, and the favor I want to ask for is that I hope Guangguang can let Feiyu have a brilliant performance in this youth film."

Wang Changtian took the document and read it carefully.

"'Secret Fruit'? The sequel to 'The Left Ear'?"

He thought to himself that this youth film was indeed a good opportunity. It could not only train newcomers, but also guarantee box office and traffic. It was very suitable for new actors to make their debut.

With the huge infusion of youth film themes, even an unknown newcomer can take advantage of the opportunity to become famous overnight, not to mention that he is Chen Kai's son...

After thinking for a moment, Wang Changtian raised his head, looked at Chen Hong and said, "Producer Chen's timing is just right. The cast of the film has not yet been determined."

Chen Hong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "Director Wang, to be honest, Feiyu has already shown good acting skills under Brother Kai's guidance. He is definitely a newcomer with potential. I believe he can definitely shine in this movie."

Wang Changtian turned around and looked at Chen Feiyu carefully, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, praising him: "He has a dignified demeanor, and it is obvious that he was born to be an actor."

"Uncle Wang, thank you for your compliment." Chen Feiyu smiled modestly.

"Since Producer Chen has come to me, I certainly can't refuse this honor. Let's just make a deal. I'll arrange for someone to contact you after the project preparations begin."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang. I will tell Brother Kai about this when I get back. My husband and I will never forget this favor."

"Haha, let me wish Feiyu a successful debut and smooth sailing in advance."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"

……

In the evening, in Hengdian, inside the studio where the crew of "La La Land" is located.

The male lead Chen Fei and the female lead Liu Yifei walked across the set hand in hand, then they both turned around at the same time and smiled at the camera.

This romantic scene seemed as beautiful as a fairy tale, and made many people in the crew feel relaxed and happy.

Ning Hao, who was temporarily in charge of the camera, raised his loud speaker and shouted, "Cut! OK, it's passed. This scene is great!"

For real couples, filming this kind of love song and dance movie is just like playing. It is so smooth and many times it is shot in one take.

Chen Fei returned to the monitor and carefully reviewed the playback. Then he took the megaphone from Ning Hao and said, "I declare that the filming of La La Land has officially ended! Thank you all for your hard work!"

For a moment, everyone on the set breathed a sigh of relief.

The filming lasted for two full months, and by the end it was extremely painful and tiring for everyone.

Because the film involves too many outdoor scenes, plus a large number of singing and dancing shots, the shooting became increasingly difficult in the later stages, and even the shooting costs increased a lot.

After removing his makeup, Fade Chen immediately announced the arrangements for the wrap-up banquet.

"I'm sorry to bother you all tonight. We will have a seafood dinner at the hotel first. There will be a formal wrap-up banquet waiting for you all after we return to the capital."

Zhu Yawen started to make a noise, "Everyone, eat as much as you can tonight. Don't save money for Director Chen. After you've digested it all tomorrow, you can go back to the capital and rip him off. Haha."

Everyone responded with applause, and for a moment, the atmosphere on the set became more and more lively.

After a night, May has come to its last day.

This morning, there was another round of heated discussions in the film and television circles, simply because another new movie of Chen Fei was announced to be completed.

"The song and dance film "La La Land", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, with Chen Fei as the male lead, director, and screenwriter, Liu Yifei as the female lead and producer, and Feng Yuanzheng, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Xun, Zhao Liying, Shu Chang, Jing Tian and others participating in the performance, was officially announced to be completed yesterday evening. The subsequent wrap-up press conference will be held in the capital at the same time as the celebration banquet for "Chasing the Dragon"..."

"It is reported that La La Land will participate in the film festival selection, but it is not yet known which film festival it will participate in."

“I wish Director Chen success in his bid for another award!”

On the plane back to the capital, Chen Fei received a call from Ren Zhonglun.

"Hey? You really know how to save trouble! You actually put the wrap-up party and the celebration party on the same day? If you count your circle, you are the only one who can do such a thing."

"Haha, this way Director Ren doesn't have to make two trips, right?"

"That's true, otherwise I would have to fly to the capital twice."

After chatting for a while, Ren Zhonglun finally got to the point of the call: "By the way, I saw on the Internet that you are planning to compete for awards for the movie you just finished shooting? How about..."

Before he could finish, Fade Chen interrupted him and said, "Mr. Ren, I know what you mean. You are here for the Magic City International Film Festival, right?"

You know, Shanghai has always been the preserve of Shanghai Film Group, and the Shanghai International Film Festival is naturally inclined towards Shanghai Film Group, and they can even be said to be "one family".

Therefore, in order to make next year's Shanghai International Film Festival lively, Ren Zhonglun will naturally spare no effort.

However, he is bound to be disappointed this time.

"Director Ren, to be honest, I'm planning to win three European awards for this movie."

Hearing this, Ren Zhonglun immediately gave up the idea.

Compared with the three major European awards, the Shanghai International Film Festival is like heaven and earth, and it can be said that it is a definite loser.

"Ah." He sighed helplessly, and then tried to argue from another angle: "You should be free in June, right? It should be okay for you to come to the film festival for a few days?"

"Ahem." Fade Chen touched his nose and said, "I'm going to Hollywood in June, and I've already booked my flight tickets."

"Going to Hollywood?" Ren Zhonglun was a little curious: "Why go to Hollywood? Do you have any new plans?"

"It's mainly for the post-production of La La Land and Ready Player One. It's quieter there and the equipment is more professional."

As long as you stay in the mainland, you will inevitably have to attend various banquets, big and small, and most of them cannot be avoided.

Chen Fei was really annoyed by these things, so he might as well hide in Hollywood for a month and come back after the summer vacation started.

Anyway, June is a cold period for mainland films, and he didn't have any new work arranged, so he might as well just leave.

On the other end of the phone, Ren Zhonglun was speechless for a moment, and finally could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, forget it, I'll wait for another opportunity in the future."

"it is good."

Chen Fei responded casually and then hung up the phone.

At this time, Ning Hao, who was sitting next to him, suddenly leaned over and said, "By the way, has the company confirmed whether "Kunlun Palace" will be released during the National Day or the Lunar New Year?"

"Let's release Kunlun Palace during the National Day holiday." Chen Fei straightened his back slightly, his eyes sharp, "It will take more than a month for me to finish the post-production of Operation Red Sea. If we release it during the National Day holiday, it would be a bit too rushed.

So, I'm going to go to the Lunar New Year holiday and play with those movies that claim to be 'blockbusters'!"

Ning Hao was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Go beat up The Great Wall?"

"Look at the word you used." Chen Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and corrected him, "We were going to communicate with each other. How can you use the word 'beat' to describe it?"

"Hey, you're just being aloof, okay?" Ning Hao lay back in his seat, muttering, "You go to the Lunar New Year's Day box office to beat The Great Wall, and I'll go to the National Day box office to beat Lord of the Rings!"

His vicious expression, coupled with the big gold chain around his neck, made him look like a gangster, and the flight attendant was so scared that she didn't dare to come over to ask for his autograph!
