It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 932 Boss Jia: "Next week I will be Zhang Guo!"
Chapter 932 Boss Jia: "I will return to China next week!"
The movie "Wushuang" mainly tells the story of a "lie" that spreads outward with the male protagonist's carefully woven story as the core.
Before Chen Fei was reborn, he saw a comment online that said:
“After ‘Wushuang’, there will be no more Hong Kong films!”
Precisely because of its excellent quality and story, this movie has become a revival work of the "decline of Hong Kong films" in the minds of many people, and has left a strong mark in the history of Hong Kong films.
In the film, the protagonist Li Wen is a talented but unappreciated painter. He longs to gain recognition and wealth through art, but reality knocks him down again and again.
By chance, he met the counterfeiting genius "Painter", and the two hit it off and decided to join forces to create an unprecedented super counterfeit case!
They planned carefully, striving for perfection in every aspect, from paper, ink to printing technology.
As counterfeit money circulated, their wealth accumulated rapidly like a snowball.
However, this seemingly perfect criminal plan fell into crisis due to an accidental exposure... The police began to intervene in the investigation, and Li Wen became the key suspect.
Under the police's questioning, Li Wen began to weave a complicated lie. He portrayed himself as an innocent victim and pushed all the blame onto the mysterious "painter".
Because his lies were so realistic that even the police were fooled for a time.
But as the investigation deepened, the police gradually discovered loopholes in Li Wen's lies, and Li Wen also faced increasing psychological pressure...
At the climax of the story, Li Wen even engaged in a thrilling battle of wits with the police!
He used his wisdom and artistic talent to create illusions and try to confuse the police...but he ultimately failed to escape the punishment of the law.
In court, he frankly admitted his crime and revealed the true relationship between him and the "painter"... It turned out that the "painter" was just a fantasy in his heart, a perfect image he created to escape reality...
This movie is not only a thrilling crime film, but also a deeply moving psychological drama.
Through Li Wen's story, it explores the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature.
People often find it difficult to distinguish between lies and the truth, but true courage lies in facing one's own heart and admitting one's mistakes.
In addition, the story of "Wushuang" also metaphorically illustrates the subtle connection between art and crime through the relationship between Li Wen and the "painter".
Art is about creating beauty, while crime is about destroying beauty, but when the two are combined, amazing "works" can be produced!
It’s a pity that this kind of “work” is built on crime and lies, which is doomed to be unsustainable.
In the office, looking at the script of "Wushuang" in his hand, Chen Fei inexplicably felt a little sad.
The mainland film market has been booming in recent years, and although Hong Kong films have been declining, they still have a place.
After all, some police, crime and action movies are the most flavorful and stylish ones made by Hong Kong filmmakers!
In addition, a considerable number of audiences in the mainland have certain feelings for Hong Kong films and even the Hong Kong culture behind them, and are willing to support them, so Hong Kong films continue to be produced in a steady stream.
Although most Hong Kong films have evolved into "assembly line" products with serious homogeneity in plots and themes, there are still many people willing to support them.
As a company that has been practicing "originality" and "quality" in the current Hong Kong film market, Golden Harvest Films is undoubtedly an evergreen tree that stands tall in the current Hong Kong film industry.
After years of hard work, it is no exaggeration to say that Huo Qigang has firmly grasped 70% of the Hong Kong film market in his hands.
As for the remaining 30% of the Hong Kong film market, it is the target of division by Anglo-American Film Group, Media Asia, Emperor Entertainment Group and other small film companies.
Huo Qigang also held a copy of the script of "Wushuang" in his hand.
He glanced at Fade Chen and then at Su Guohai. Seeing that neither of them had the intention to speak, he simply spoke first: "I like this story very much. I plan to spend a year to create it."
Hearing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Are you really going to make one movie a year? Are you just going to leave it hanging like this?"
"You're not right!" Huo Qigang retorted seriously, "Although Golden Harvest only produces one movie a year, the benefits it generates are something other companies cannot achieve in several years."
"That's true." Chen Fei couldn't refute this.
For example, the movie "Chasing the Dragon" released in May this year. If nothing unexpected happens, this movie should be No. 5 in the Hong Kong box office rankings this year.
Because looking at the next few months, there will be no high-quality Hong Kong films produced at all.
And when "Wushuang" is released in the second half of next year, it will surely be the undisputed number one in the Hong Kong movie box office rankings.
Huo Qigang continued to explain: "Also, my focus now is mainly on upgrading the cinema chain, and I don't have much energy to produce a top-quality movie in a short period of time."
"Okay, you can do it as you see fit. One year is just one year. It doesn't matter. As long as we can ensure the normal and stable operation of the company, it's fine."
Huo Qigang nodded slightly, but he was smiling in his heart.
In this way, he will have plenty of time to spend alone with Guo Jingjing.
Being too busy is actually not good. If a couple is often not together and are separated, there will definitely be problems in their relationship.
For a love-brained man like him, his wife and children are far more important than his career!
"Let's decide on a mainland-Hong Kong co-production. The male and female leads will be chosen from the mainland, the second male lead will be chosen from Hong Kong, and the production team will also be directly from Hong Kong..."
Chen Fei decided on the project structure in just a few words.
Huo Qigang naturally had no objection: "Okay, that's settled. I'll put together a production team when I get back. It'll take a lot of time to choose a location and cast. As for props, we'll have to hire professional people to train them."
"Well, let me know when the casting starts. I have a suitable candidate for the female lead. You can let her try."
Hearing this, Huo Qigang was slightly stunned: "Who? Liu Yifei?"
"No." Chen Fei shook his head. "It's an actress who was previously signed to Feiyinghuang Agency. Her name is Chen Hao. She also opened her own studio and just registered with my company. She wants me to help find a suitable resource."
Su Guohai on the side paused, subconsciously looked up at Chen Fei, and a trace of admiration and emotion flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
When it comes to which company has the best atmosphere in the entire film and television industry, if Feiyue Film and Television ranks second, no company would be qualified to rank first!
The main reason is that Chen Fei is a really good boss!
He has never been stingy with bonuses, benefits and treatment.
Looking around, all employees, as long as they do their job well enough, don’t have to worry about anyone taking the credit.
What is yours is yours, no one can take it away from you!
There are even a large number of people within the company who receive monthly bonuses that are higher than their salaries, and this is achieved without having to work overtime. This shows how efficient the company is.
Actors and artists who have registered their studios under the company don’t have to worry about not having suitable resources.
As long as you are not particularly picky about the roles, although there is no guarantee that you will be able to make a living from one drama until old age, it will definitely ensure that you will be rich and prosperous.
Just like Chen Hao, she just set up her studio last month and affiliated it with here. Only a month has passed, but we have already found suitable resources for her.
This efficiency is enough to make more than 80% of the actors in the industry envious!
Huo Qigang thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Chen Hao? That's the popular Chen Hao, right?"
Fade Chen nodded slightly: "Yes, it's her."
"Okay, when the casting process starts, I'll contact her directly."
"Okay." Chen Fei said, then turned to look at Su Guohai and instructed, "Go and say hello to Chen Hao later and ask her to reserve a schedule. Oh! By the way, there's also Liu Shishi, ask her to try out for the role of the second female lead."
"Yeah, okay."
Su Guohai responded and wrote down the two things in his notebook.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He has a lot of things to do every day, so he writes them down in case he forgets.
"Let's go. It's noon now. I'll treat you. Let's go out for dinner." Huo Qigang greeted warmly.
"No need to go outside." Fade Chen grabbed him and said, "There's a Cantonese chef in the company cafeteria. I paid a lot of money to hire him. Let's go and try his cooking together."
"Haha, OK, then I'll just follow your wishes today."
...As time approached noon, Han Jianuo, who had slept for nearly 20 hours, finally woke up.
"Hiss! You better be more careful next time. The aftereffect of Lao Han's wine is too strong..."
After getting out of bed and putting on her slippers, Han Jianu walked out while muttering to herself.
She now feels very hungry, her stomach is growling non-stop, and she urgently needs three bowls of white rice.
She walked all the way to the kitchen and took the meal from the nanny. She gobbled it up and said hello to her father sitting opposite her: "Why are you eating at home today?"
"Haha." Han Sanping raised her head and glared at her, sneering: "If I continue to eat out, you might sell me out anytime."
"Isn't it just taking a bottle of wine from you? Is it necessary to speak so sarcastically? You are so stingy..."
"What? You took my wine?"
"Ah? You weren't talking about wine?"
The father and daughter stared at each other in a daze for a long time before they realized that what they had just said was completely irrelevant.
Han Sanping put down his chopsticks and picked up the script written by his own cotton-padded jacket from the side. His tone was inexplicably complicated: "This is what I'm talking about!"
"Huh!? Where is my script?"
Han Jianu reached out and grabbed it, and was about to hide it, but soon realized that it was not necessary.
She has already discussed this project with Fade Chen, so the next step is to start preparations, and she will need her father's help.
Thinking of this, she silently put the script on the table again.
But at this moment, she suddenly saw the words on the script cover and couldn't help but murmur, "'Dying to Survive'? 'Dying to Survive'... Hey! What a great name! Why didn't I think of it?
It has to be Brother Chen Fei, so awesome! He thought of a name for me after reading the script once! It was a wise choice to let him be the director..."
"What are you mumbling about? Can you hear me?"
"Ah? Oh! What did you say?"
Han Jianu raised her head blankly and subconsciously shook her still dizzy head.
Han Sanping was very upset: "I was just asking you, have you ever considered how to get this script approved?"
"Yes!" Han Jianu put down her chopsticks and said very seriously: "First of all, of course it's you, you are my real father, you have to help me.
Then I also invited my senior brother Chen Fei to direct this movie. With his influence, he will definitely be able to get a lot of companies to endorse it.
There are also Uncle Ren from Shanghai Film Studio and Uncle Wang from Xi'an Film Studio. They are now part of the Feiyue Film and Television camp. As long as we pull them in, they will definitely dare to do things like banging the table, backing up, finding connections, and charging into battle..."
Han Sanping initially felt a little troubled and helpless about her cotton-padded jacket's heartlessness, but after listening to her cotton-padded jacket's analysis, a hint of relief unconsciously appeared on her face.
She is worthy of being my daughter. Although she is careless in daily life, she is smart and not stupid!
But the next second, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, because his daughter suddenly started complaining while speaking.
"Forget about the Central Film Studio. Dad, it's not that I don't give you face, but Uncle La is too snobbish. Not only can he not help us, but we have to be on guard against him causing trouble...
He is too utilitarian and always talks about his "achievements". The function of China Film Group Corporation is to support small and medium-sized film companies, but he is playing political games..."
"Okay, okay, these are not the words you should say."
Han Sanping spoke up in time to interrupt the disrespectful words and sternly warned: "Don't say such things in the future, and don't spread them!"
"Don't worry! Don't worry! I know. I'm just telling you. I won't tell anyone else. He's too petty. If he hears me saying bad things about him, won't he retaliate against me?"
"You still say?"
Han Jianu: “…”
"Hurry up and eat. Don't worry about the review. I will work with Fade Chen to handle it for you. From now on, you have to find a job in a film crew immediately."
"Ah! Why? I still have to prepare for this movie of mine!"
"It won't be that fast for a script to be approved. You should first find a script to study for a while, and then come back after the project really starts preparations."
"Oh, well, Senior Brother Ning Hao happens to be helping Wang Baoqiang prepare for Lost in Hong Kong, so I'll go join him."
"Well, okay, you and Wang Baoqiang follow him together, learn well, don't be lazy!"
"Oh, I know, you're so long-winded!"
"And my wine..."
"No need to talk too much, no need to talk too much, Lao Han, you are such a good person. I am so lucky to be your daughter. Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life! Really! Liars are dogs!"
Han Sanping: "..."

After lunch, it was almost 2 o'clock.
After seeing Huo Qigang off, Chen Fei was just about to go back to the lounge to take a nap, but at this moment, a trailer from the crew of "The Great Wall" suddenly appeared on the Internet, along with as many as 20 beautiful stills!
In an instant, he was no longer sleepy and began to check it out with great interest.
Looking around, I saw that many of the main actors contributed a still photo. When the photo was enlarged, I could even see all kinds of exquisite details on the armor.
In the trailer, the logos of Universal Pictures, Legendary Pictures, China Film Group, and LeTV were clearly displayed in front of netizens.
Above the majestic Great Wall, the diffuse smoke blends with ink and water, outlining a thrilling picture of ancient war.
The mighty ancient army, dressed in iron armor and holding sharp swords, charged forward bravely and fearlessly, as unstoppable as a tiger descending from the mountains.
On the city walls, every part of the buildings reveals the vicissitudes of thousands of years and the weight of history.
There were artillery fire in the air, and various weapons were intertwined into a dense firepower network, dyeing the sky colorful.
And those iconic shots of Zhang Yimou firing thousands of arrows at once pushed the war to a climax!
Arrows rained down, piercing the sky. Each arrow carried the bravery and determination of the warriors, dazzling the eyes. It was as if one was in a real and shocking epic war, feeling the glory and tragedy that belonged to the ancients...
Media reports followed closely, fearing that they would miss out on this wave of popularity.
"The Great Wall, a Chinese New Year blockbuster directed by Zhang Yimou, will be released nationwide on December 12. The film brings together a luxurious lineup of Chinese and foreign actors including Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Liu Dehua, William Dafoe, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, Huang Xuan, Chen Xuedong, Wang Junkai, as well as powerful new actors such as Yu Xintian, Liu Bing, and Li Heng. Please look forward to their wonderful performances!"
"The production company of The Great Wall released the MV of the movie promotion song "Taotie" sung by Nanzhengbeizhan today. It presents the appearance of "Taotie" synthesized by CG special effects in all directions and in three dimensions, showing the scene of a 100,000-strong Taotie army rushing in with shocking visual effects..."
"China's world-class monster 'Taotie' is born. This time it's the turn of China's unsung heroes to save the world!"
As a large number of press releases were released, netizens suddenly became excited and started discussing the matter.
"The Great Wall to stop the Taotie? It sounds pretty good. Let's look forward to it."
"I have to say, Jing Tian's resources are really good!"
"I really like Zhang Yimou's "Hero". I hope I can see the same shocking scenes in this movie..."
On the other hand, the publicity for "The Great Wall" was in full swing, and LeTV's stock price even started to rise.
Seeing another large number of leeks entering the market, Boss Jia, who was abroad, suddenly became excited.
He quickly took out his cell phone and contacted his deputy in China: "Hurry up and make arrangements. Taking advantage of the popularity of The Great Wall, maybe we can attract a few celebrity shareholders to join..."
The deputy was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked back: "Mr. Jia, when will you return to China? Recently, many investors have contacted you and want to meet with you."
"Tell them not to worry. I will be back next week at the latest. LeEco's supercar factory is being built in Nevada, USA. I am investigating the market situation here..."
Boss Jia said this with great confidence, without any of the "blushing and heart-pounding" state he shows when he's lying.
