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

Chapter 915: Big Capital Enters the Market? More Powerful Than Golden Shield and Navy?
After a night, it was October 7nd.

Faced with the attack from imported Hollywood blockbusters, "The Bounty Hunter" was unsurprisingly cut short.

After only three days of release, the box office dropped from over 4000 million to over 2000 million.

On the other hand, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" grossed 2 million on its first day, just a little bit short of breaking the 9090.6 million mark.

As the distributor, Alibaba Pictures should have been able to reap a wave of dividends, but due to the impact of "No Other Love", it couldn't get any momentum going at all.

Zhao Yanzi felt a lot less pressure today.

Yesterday, Guan Hu spoke up and diverted some of the abuse, and with Ma Yun's support, she felt more confident.

Once again, a large number of Internet trolls emerged and began to help with the whitewashing operation.

At the same time, the new project announced by Zhou Xun also attracted the attention of many netizens, which indirectly helped her a lot.

"At 10 o'clock this morning, the historical palace drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", exclusively produced by New Classics Pictures, officially held a large-scale media project launch conference."

"The president of New Classics Pictures, together with director Wang Jun, producer Huang Lan, screenwriter Wu Xuelan and other luxurious production team, appeared at the project launch conference and talked about the creative process of this work."

"It is reported that the budget for the production of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace alone will cost 3 million yuan, and the pre-sale of copyright fees before filming has reached 8.1 million yuan!"

"The deputy directors of Jiangsu TV and Dragon TV appeared at the project launch conference and revealed that they had successfully won the first round of broadcasting rights for Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace at a price of 300 million per episode."

"The head of Tencent Video appeared at the press conference for Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and announced that Tencent has acquired the exclusive online broadcast rights for the drama."

"After several months, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace has revealed its cast for the first time. Triple Golden Horse Awards winner Zhou Xun will partner with Huo Jianhua, Janine Chang, Dong Jie, Tong Yao, Xin Zhilei, Li Jun, Li Qin, Hu Ke, Chen Xiaoyun and other talented and idol actors born in the 80s and 90s to write a new chapter of heroines together!"

One press release after another continued to appear on Weibo, attracting the attention of countless people in the circle.

The production cost was 3 million, the copyright was pre-sold for 8.1 million, and before filming even started, two major TV stations and Tencent Video had already purchased the broadcasting rights at a high price...

These extremely eye-catching words have made all the major capitals in the industry salivate.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current revenue shown by "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is comparable to a big-screen movie with a box office of over 10 billion!

Before this, who could have imagined that the development of the TV drama industry would reach such a perverted level?
But the facts are already before our eyes, and it is impossible for anyone to believe it even if they don't want to.

For capital, this is undoubtedly an extremely beneficial and great thing.

After all, the higher the return, the more everyone can earn.

Similarly, this is also a very beneficial thing for many actors in the industry.

Although no one can guess how much Zhou Xun's pay for this drama is, if nothing unexpected happens, it should not be less than 6000 million.

And the most important thing is that while getting paid, she can also gain a very high status in the crew.

After all, according to the current seniority model in the film and television industry, Zhou Xun, a movie actor, has a much higher status than those TV actors.

This is undoubtedly great news for many big players at the same level as Zhou Xun.

Especially Zhang Ziyi, seeing the popularity caused by Zhou Xun, she couldn't help but get excited.

Although she has recently sent her resume to many newly launched film crews, unfortunately, she has not received any response so far.

The reason is actually very simple, it’s because her status is too high.

The salary needed to hire her can almost cover the salaries of all the logistical staff of the crew.

Therefore, only those big-budget films with huge investments can afford to use her, and ordinary second- and third-tier film crews dare not even think about it.

And wanting her to reduce her pay is even more ridiculous.

This has resulted in her being in a state of having no work to do in recent months, and all she can do is live off her past credits...and still live off her past credits.

Currently, apart from "The Last Romance", which was completed before she became pregnant, she has no other film and television resources.

"Zhou Xun is actually filming a TV series? It seems like she has found top resources! Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace? This seems to be the sister series of Zhen Huan's Legend? I didn't expect that New Classics Pictures actually got the copyright.

Tsk tsk, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Xun will definitely see a huge explosion in popularity after he finishes filming this drama, his pay will only get higher and higher, and his popularity will also get higher and higher..."

Listening to the agent's muttering, Zhang Ziyi slowly turned her head and looked at her silently.

"Sister Ziyi, I..."

"No need to explain, I know what you mean." Zhang Ziyi interrupted: "If I also act in a TV series, can I find a top-notch project with a heroine like Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace?"

"Absolutely!"

The agent assured her solemnly: "With your status, the projects we get will only be better than Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi fell into deep thought.

At first, she was still a little bit unable to get over the hurdle in her heart, but now, looking at the resources and energy that Zhou Xun had mobilized, she was inexplicably envious.

Since I can’t find suitable movie resources in a short period of time, I might as well try out the TV drama circle first and accumulate my own national popularity.

As long as the project is good enough, the pay is high enough, and the influence is big enough, it is not unacceptable...

Soon, Zhang Ziyi successfully convinced herself.

"Go ahead." She ordered, "Go find out if there are any suitable TV drama projects with female protagonists in the industry, or novels of good enough quality. At worst, we can invest and shoot it ourselves! Try to choose a costume drama, and it must not be inferior to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace!"

"Okay, Sister Ziyi, just wait and see!" The agent patted his chest and assured, "There is never a shortage of costume drama projects with heroines. I promise you that I can definitely help you choose the right one."

"Well, let's go."

Zhang Ziyi nodded slightly, feeling somewhat expectant.

What she really wants is a long-lasting TV drama project with a strong female lead, like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but she doesn't know if there is one suitable for her?

...

Even though the news about the launch of the project of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace attracted a lot of people's attention, those who should be scolding him are still scolding him, and the scolding is getting harsher and fiercer!
If Feng Xiaogang encountered this kind of thing, he would probably be sitting in front of his computer and arguing with those netizens.

Hearing this, Ye Ning, who was also in the office, frowned slightly. He didn't want to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart.

"Director Wang, President Feng, there are still some issues with the promotion of Lu Yao Zhi Mali. I'll go deal with it first, you two can chat."

"Well, you go."

Wang Zhongjun waved his hand and said nothing more.

After Ye Ning left, he looked at Guan Hu and said in a deep voice: "I understand that you want to support your friend, but it's not easy to get too involved in this matter. You are not qualified to compare with Chen Fei."

"I……"

Guan Hu was very unconvinced, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, what Wang Zhongjun said was indeed true.

Chen Fei publicly scolded him on Weibo last night, but he just stood there and didn't dare to respond. He could only hold back his anger and complain.

"What did Zhao Yanzi say? Didn't she contact you?"

"We talked on the phone last night..." Guan Hu honestly recounted everything he heard from Zhao Yanzi.

A few minutes later, Wang Zhonglei interrupted in surprise, "What? Alibaba Group will fully support the release of this movie?"

"Yes!" Guan Hu nodded confidently: "Zhao Yanzi told me in person that President Ma will fully support her."

The two brothers of the Wang family looked at each other, feeling surprised and confused at the same time.

Ma Yun is indeed very capable, but with the current online public opinion being so strong, what solutions can he have?
...After accompanying Liu Yifei to sleep until noon, Chen Fei finally got up.

The moment he turned over and got out of bed, he suddenly understood why the emperors in ancient times did not attend court early in the morning.

The vixen that sucks my essence is so strong, I can’t resist it, I really can’t resist it!
After tucking in the quilt for Miss Liu who was still sleeping in, Fade Chen picked up the phone on the bedside table and walked to the living room.

As soon as I turned on the phone, a large number of text messages and missed calls came in.

After making sure that there was nothing important and that they were all there to inquire about information, he turned off his phone and walked into the bathroom.

It has been two days since he came back, but he hasn't visited the company yet.

It's time to put aside the gentle countryside and focus on your career.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fei came to his office.

The desk was spotlessly clean, but the piles of documents gave him a headache.

“Does this all require my signature?”

The assistant nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Chen, these are all."

"Alas! Being a boss is not easy, it's so troublesome."

With a sigh, Fade Chen opened the files one by one and began to look through them.

An hour passed quietly...

At 3 o'clock, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Come in!" Fade Chen put down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist.

Su Guohai pushed the door open and walked in, holding a huge pile of documents in his hands. He smiled and piled them on the small hill in front of Chen Fei.

"You want me to sign all of this?"

"Yes, all of them."

Seeing Chen Fei's expression of about to collapse, Su Guohai actually felt secretly happy.

Want to be a hands-off boss?

Hey, no way!

However, just as he was about to turn around and run away, Fade Chen stopped him and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Tell me, has there been any movement in the company during the month I was away?"

What's going on at the company?
Su Guohai was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The only big news is probably the progress of the project of The Wandering Earth, the progress of the promotion of Detective Chinatown 2, and the affiliation of some artist studios."

Chen Fei was not very interested in the first two pieces of news. After all, he had already learned about them in advance. Instead, he was quite curious about the affiliation of the artist's studio.

“Which other artists have set up studios?”

"For example, Gulinaza, who played the 'Queen of Jingjue' in the 'Ghost Blowing the Light' series, and Dilraba Dilmurat, who is currently working closely with 'Running Man', their contracts with Feiyinghuang Agency have expired, and they have both chosen the studio development model."

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded slightly: "Since we have chosen to rely on a company, if there are suitable film and television resources, let them give it a try."

Su Guohai simply explained: "Reba is mainly developing as a traffic star, with all kinds of high-end endorsements, so she doesn't need the company to worry about her.

Nazha’s development path is a bit unclear. Dong Chengpeng has been in contact with her recently, but I don’t know if she has any new projects.

And I heard that she also took on a costume and fantasy novel adaptation project from Tencent, which seems to be called "Fighter of the Destiny". The copyright was bought from us, but President Jiang didn't like it, so he sold it to them..."

Su Guohai talked a lot, and finally moved a chair over and started reporting to Fade Chen.
As they were talking, the topic turned to the upcoming "Detective Chinatown 2".

“Compared to the first film, more people are looking forward to the release of the second film. Our publicity and marketing have achieved very good results!
In particular, the promotional strategy of 'detective + comedy' proposed by you, Director Chen, has played an extremely good role, comparable to 'we all owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket'..."

While listening to the report, Chen Fei would occasionally chime in.

Finally, all the heads of the publicity and promotion departments were called over.

The three discussed multiple aspects including the subsequent publicity sprint, publicity intensity and scale, expected audience, etc., to ensure that the film can be a great success in terms of box office revenue.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

A sudden phone call interrupted the discussion of the three people.

After seeing the name on the caller ID screen, Fade Chen waved to Su Guohai and the manager of the publicity department, indicating that today's discussion was over.

He waited until the two left the office before pressing the connect button.

"Hello? Director Tong?"

On the other end of the phone, Tong Gang's tone was filled with surprise: "So, for the film "No Other Love", you personally went to the Navy and the Golden Shield to support you?"

"what!?"

Chen Fei looked confused: "What is Golden Shield? What is Navy? What is Platform? Director Tong, why don't I understand what you are talking about?"

Tong Gang suddenly laughed: "You are quite resentful, kid?"

Chen Fei did not respond to his words. His tone was somewhat indifferent as he said calmly, "If the General Administration really chooses to ignore it in the end, then I have nothing to say. But if I want to make sure he has no chance to act, I can still do it."

This is his attitude!

This is also true when facing the General Administration!

Chen Fei knew the domestic situation very well.

He would not be surprised no matter what decision the General Administration made.

As for Alibaba Pictures, what are they?

"Haha, it's rare to see you so serious. Don't worry. Although the General Administration will be affected by various aspects, it will never take detours in the face of such major issues. No one can change the outcome."

As he spoke, Tong Gang suddenly became serious: "But this time, the General Administration will not intervene."

"Huh?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised: "The General Administration doesn't come forward? Who will be responsible? Are they going to let China Film Group mediate again?"

Chen Fei really saw through La Peikang's character.

If he were really asked to come forward, he would probably side with whoever gives him more benefits.

He is almost obsessed with political achievements!

"China Film Group? They are not qualified." Tong Gang crossed his legs on the office chair and revealed a little information to Fade Chen: "Thanks to you, even the Golden Shield and the Navy have been alerted, so the one who came forward cannot be a small unit.

Just wait and see, there will be news in a few days. As far as I know, they are conducting a thorough investigation recently. When the results come out, the announcement will be officially released soon."

Chen Fei was speechless for a moment: "Director Tong, you might as well not call me. My curiosity has been aroused, but you don't say anything."

"Haha, don't worry, just be patient, it will be soon, and there should be some news released in the next two days, just keep an eye on Weibo, there will be surprises."

"Okay, then I'll wait to hear good news."

Fade Chen shrugged and temporarily suppressed his agitated mood.

Judging from what Tong Gang said, it seems that the unit that is about to appear is even more powerful than Golden Shield and Navy Political Department. I wonder who it is?
