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

Chapter 925 Super! Super! The premiere of a super bad movie!

On July 7, under the expectations of many filmmakers in the industry and netizens, "Legend of the Gods" officially held a premiere press conference called "The Ceremony of the Gods" in the capital.

Chen Fei naturally also received an invitation, but he was not interested in joining in the fun.

There is only a small part of the post-production work left on "Operation Red Sea", and he wants to finish the work at hand as soon as possible.

Ning Hao, on the other hand, went to join in the fun with great interest, and called him early in the morning, saying that he wanted to record the entire "Conferred God" process.

~

On the way to the company, Fade Chen opened Weibo.

After a quick look, he was shocked to find that the internet was now flooded with promotional releases for "Legend of the Gods"!
Looking around, there are countless praises and all kinds of boastful remarks that are so exaggerated!
If you observe carefully, you will find that the promotional direction of this movie is actually very fixed, and the "C position" in all activities is to the left.

Many people in the industry are already curious about this and wonder whether this second-generation star from the Hong Kong circle can bring enough highlights and surprises to everyone?
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a brand new red carpet had been laid outside the China World Trade Center Banquet Hall.

In the media's lens, countless big names, stars, and actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong stepped onto the red carpet, with bright smiles on their faces, and slowly walked into the premiere scene.

Ning Hao came here with Xing Aina.

The moment the two stepped onto the red carpet, they immediately attracted the attention and glances of many media and filmmakers.

At this moment, looking at the grand scenes on both sides of the red carpet, Xing Aina couldn't help but sigh out loud: "Half of the entertainment industry is here, right? It's so lively! It feels like attending the closing ceremony of a film festival."

"This is just the beginning." Ning Hao curled his lips in disdain: "Come with me tomorrow to attend the premiere of Detective Chinatown 2. I'll take you to see what it means to be a star-studded cast!"

"Tsk? You talk as if it's the premiere of your movie." Xing Aina complained in a low voice, trying to suppress Ning Hao's arrogance.

But when our great director Ning goes out, the main thing he cares about is his face!

When he heard his wife question him, he immediately said, "Do you believe it? When the premiere of Kunlun Palace is held in two months, the scene will definitely be even grander than this?"

"Go away now, look at your character..."

Although Xing Aina kept complaining, she could not hide the admiration in her eyes.

She was still quite proud of Ning Hao.

After all, her man is a director in the 20 billion box office club. Looking at the entire Chinese-language film industry, he is one of the few figures there!
As the wife of a director who made a box office of 20 billion yuan, she naturally shares the glory and fortune. No matter where she goes, she is the object of flattery and envy.

Entering the venue, looking around, we saw that the director of "Legend of the Gods" Xu Anzheng was leading Xiang Zuo, Andy On and others to greet and chat everywhere.

As for Li Lianjie, Fan Bingbing, Liang Jiahui and others, because of their status and position, in most cases they just stood there waiting for others to come forward and say hello.

Unless they meet capital or filmmakers with higher status than them, they generally won't run around the venue.

Due to the influence of his own camp, Ning Hao subconsciously leaned towards Guangguang, Shanghai Film Group, and Wanda as soon as he walked into the venue. After all, Feiyue Film and Television has always had a cooperative relationship with these companies, and the exchanges between them are very frequent.

However, before he took a few steps, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.

"Huh? Xiang Tai? Xiang Hua Qiang? Why are these two here? Are they here to support their son?"

Just as he was stunned, he saw Yu Dong and Xiang Tai walking onto the stage together.

As soon as the former took over the host's microphone, he made a bold statement:

"For the first-day box office of The Legend of the Gods, I expect it to be 2 million. You can verify the truth of my words while watching the movie later!"

Afterwards, he spoke some empty and pretentious words, which were full of praise and confidence for "The Legend of the Gods".

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Tai took over the microphone.

However, this "rich wife" who liked to wear gold and silver and hang jewelry around her neck made many people in the audience frown involuntarily as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I actually brought up the topic of 'owing movie tickets' a long time ago, but it was shamelessly taken away by someone. But it doesn't matter. The tickets owed to us can be regarded as a gift to him. I don't care anyway.

What I am most looking forward to now is to see my son’s wonderful performance in this movie. I hope everyone will give me more advice and suggestions in the future..."

Offstage, Xing Aina touched Ning Hao's arm and asked in a low voice, "She's not talking about Zhou Xingchi, is she?"

"It's obvious that it's Director Zhou." Ning Hao curled his lips: "I don't know how Director Zhou offended this lady. Whenever in public, this rich lady always scolds Director Zhou. It's almost become a habit..."

At the same time, when the two were chatting about gossip, Li Lianlian actually walked onto the stage holding Xiang Zuo's hand!
After taking the microphone handed over by the host, Li Lianlian showed a trace of reminiscence on his face and began to talk about his fate with "Legend of the Gods".

"When I first read the script of The Legend of Conferred Gods, I was deeply attracted by the story. The gorgeous Chinese magical legend made me intoxicated and overwhelmed..."

As he described the film, many guests at the scene became more and more curious about it.

What kind of story could make Li Lianlian sigh like this? Is this really a top Chinese fantasy epic?

When the speech was about to end, the host very "smoothly" switched the topic to Xiang Zuo and specifically asked Li Lianlian what he thought of him.

In this regard, Li Lianjie, the former Kung Fu superstar, gave high praise!

"As for Xiang Zuo, I have nothing but admiration in my heart, because as far as I know, he has been immersed in the practice of martial arts for more than ten years.

If you look closely, you will find that his current figure and posture actually resemble the young Huang Feihong.

And as far as I know, in the past few years, many Hollywood film crews have specially visited Hong Kong and personally visited him, hoping to invite him to play the role of 'Bruce Lee'..."

At this moment, almost everyone in the audience widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief!
He has practiced martial arts for more than ten years, has a body shape like Feihong, and plays Bruce Lee...

"What the hell? When did such an awesome second-generation star emerge in the Hong Kong film and television industry?"

Ning Hao couldn't help but picked up his phone and started taking a video of Xiang Zuo who was already performing boxing on the stage.

Two minutes later, looking at the "martial arts genius" on the stage panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What kind of kung fu is this? Is it so physically demanding?"

While muttering to himself, he sent the video he had just taken to Fade Chen, and captioned it, "Look! A martial arts prodigy is born!"

Ten minutes later, the screening of the full film "Legend of the Gods" officially began.

At the same time, Ning Hao also received a reply from Fade Chen: "Are you kidding me???"

Since the lights in the venue had dimmed, Ning Hao did not reply to the message immediately, but watched the movie with Xing Aina with great interest.

However, after just reading the beginning, he suddenly felt that his three views were shattered!
The architecture and costumes of the Shang Dynasty are indeed difficult to restore. After all, the records about this dynasty are indeed a bit vague...but what the hell is that flavor of the Western Middle Ages?

Could it be that the orthodoxy of Rome is actually in Chaoge?

As the movie progresses, Ning Hao's mood becomes more complicated.

Because he inexplicably discovered that the relationship between King Zhou and Daji was beginning to become confusing.

As a nine-tailed fox demon, Daji not only had to eat people every day, but also had to discuss with King Zhou how to better satisfy her appetite.

As for King Zhou, although he knew Daji's true identity, he seemed to have no fear of her. Instead, he planned with her the ambition of unifying the world.

The two of them enjoyed wine and women in front of the palace that looked like a medieval castle, while discussing all kinds of very "weird" topics.

Soon, along with the conversation between the two, the powerful background of the Shang Dynasty was also brought out.

This plot barely explains why King Zhou wanted to unify the world. The main reason was that the country was too powerful and his ambition could not be suppressed. However, at this moment, a scene that shocked Ning Hao so much that he could hardly suppress his expression appeared!

I saw a spaceship suddenly appear above the palace, equipped with various cannons and weapons, as if it was going to conquer outer space!
As the plot develops further, Ning Hao gradually discovers that this movie is not just a simple costume film, science fiction film or epic film, but a film that combines multiple elements.

The film contains both the glorious history of the Shang Dynasty and the glorious civilization of Rome; it explores the unknown world and deeply analyzes human nature...

King Zhou's ambition, Daji's ruthlessness, the prosperity and decline of the Shang Dynasty, and mankind's desire and pursuit for the unknown world...

The "grand" story background, the "shocking" special effects, the "wonderful" performances of the actors... all of these have created a result: [This movie is a super, super, super bad movie! ]

Xing Aina was already playing with her phone out of boredom.

Ning Hao forced himself to continue reading.

The plot of the movie soon comes to the time when King Zhou was killing all kinds of races, and then the male protagonist "Lei" appears, ready to enforce justice, assassinate King Zhou, and rescue the enslaved people.

In order to save people, "Lei" directly caused a commotion in Chaoge, fighting against King Zhou and Daji, and then immediately brought Jiang Ziya in, causing a huge melee...

It would be fine if it was just the confusing plot, but the key problem is that the special effects and costumes of this film suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, as if the funds had been spent, revealing a strong sense of shabbyness and copycatness!

In the end, Jiang Ziya and others were defeated and fled, and then they successfully got a hint that in order to defeat King Zhou and Daji, they actually needed the Sword of Light and the Body of the Golden Dragon.

Seeing this, Ning Hao couldn't help it any longer. He quickly withdrew his gaze from the big screen, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Fei.

"It's terrible! It's so fucking terrible! It uses the background of Investiture of the Gods, but tells the story of Rome and the Lord of the Rings. The plot and special effects are so messed up that I almost vomited after watching it!"

Fortunately, this is a movie premiere, otherwise, more than half of the audience would have left early!
……

At this time, in Feiyue Film and Television's editing department, Chen Fei was watching the final edited footage of Operation Red Sea.

At this point, all post-production on the film had been completed, leaving only the final cut.

This is the most important step in the procedure, and it is also the last process before a film is submitted to the General Administration for review.

At the same time, several leaders from the Navy Art Department were watching this military blockbuster with Chen Fei.

Several people were watching and commenting:

"This is a really great shot. It shows the strength of our country and the power of our weapons and equipment through the form of a movie. It's really great!"

"I personally feel that the rhythm is quite good, and it fully demonstrates the fighting spirit of our military team. It is very exciting, very real, and very touching!"

"Haha, the Air Force actually wants to compare Sky Hunter with our Operation Red Sea? What wishful thinking, especially the leading actress Fan Bingbing. Seeing that the film is about to start shooting, she actually took on a TV series. It's obvious that she is trying to overlap with other projects. Can she make a good movie with this?"

"Who cares? It doesn't matter to us whether the film is good or not. Our main task now is to make Operation Red Sea a good one."

"That's right, just follow Director Chen's advice on everything. He is a professional in this area."

Chen Fei ignored the constant whispers from the people behind him, and instead focused on watching the scenes in the movie.

This is the last inspection today. If everything is confirmed to be OK, then we can proceed with the trimming.

Once the cut is completed, it will definitely not be modified unless something major happens later.

Therefore, he had to be careful! Careful! Careful again! To ensure that there were no problems with every detail.

More than two hours later, as the final credits of the film appeared, Fade Chen twisted his stiff neck and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After checking it from front to back, he found nothing wrong, which meant it could be cut.

However, out of politeness, he turned around and asked the people behind him for their opinions: "Directors, what do you think of the finished film? Are there any details that I need to modify?"

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"No, there is no problem at all."

"The filming was great, and the editing was great, Director Chen is truly professional!"

"I believe that after this movie is released, it will definitely bring a huge shock to the entire film and television industry, hahahaha!"

Hearing the voices of approval from several people, Fade Chen smiled at them, then turned around and pulled the storage disk out of the projector.

"Director Xu, the next film review will be handed over to your Navy Art Department. After all, there are many bloody scenes in the film, and you still need to explain and communicate with the bureau."

"Don't worry about that!" Director Xu took the storage disk and promised confidently, "I can assure you that this is the final cut of the film. The Film Bureau's task is to go through the process and stamp it. How can we be qualified to point fingers?"

Chen Fei couldn't respond to this, but he was secretly sighing in his heart.

"As expected of a department that holds a sharp weapon, they speak with conviction!"

……

After seeing off the Navy delegation, Fade Chen finally had time to take out his cell phone and take a look.

At this time, the premiere of "The Legend of Conferred Gods" has ended, and looking around, there are many promotional press releases about the film on the Internet.

"At the premiere of The Legend of Conferred Gods, producer Yu Dong once again called for the box office to break 20 billion and charge towards 30 billion!"

"The Xiang family couple showed up at the premiere of the movie starring their son Xiang Zuo and went on stage to make a speech, insinuating that Zhou Xingchi had 'stole' the publicity material about 'owing movie tickets'."

"Li Lian praised the actor Xiang Zuo extensively, calling him a young Huang Feihong, and saying his martial arts skills were comparable to Bruce Lee's!"

"Director Xu An revealed that The Legend of the Gods was produced by the American visual effects team TIPPETT, which was responsible for Star Wars and Robocop, the well-known Hollywood CG animation company BLUR, which was responsible for Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, and X-Men, as well as the American special effects company HYDRAULX, which was responsible for Avatar, The Avengers, and Iron Man, and South Korea's DEXTER DIGITAL.

At the same time, the film also brought together teams from 12 countries including China, the United States, Britain, Sweden, Canada, South Korea, and New Zealand, with as many as 20 companies and more than 2000 people busying around... There were as many as 60 sets and 2200 special effects shots during the entire shooting process, and more than 2000 staff members participated in the post-production, which produced the vast special effects shots and images!"

"Fan Bingbing's 'Daji' look sparked controversy. She looked like a robot in her 'golden outfit', and her fox spirit look seemed to run counter to the description in classical mythology..."

Chen Fei was reading the entertainment news releases that were rolling on the Internet. Suddenly, Ning Hao called him.

"Hello? Director Ning? Have you eaten and drunk?"

He was just making fun of it, but the next second, he heard Ning Hao shouting in an exaggerated voice: "Remember! Listen to my advice! Don't watch this "Legend of the Gods", it will blind your eyes..."

Listening to Ning Hao's exaggerated shouting on the phone and his description of his previous movie-watching experience, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Is this movie really as bad as you say?"

"Believe me! It's way worse than this! My description doesn't even begin to fully express how bad this movie is!"

"Hey? Then I'd better go and take a look. How can it be this bad? I've never seen anything like it before. I'll go and verify the truth of what you said on the 29th."

Ning Hao was silent for a moment, and finally gave Chen Fei a suggestion: "Remember to wear sunglasses."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll be blinded by the costumes, props, sword of light, and golden dragon body in this movie!"
