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

Chapter 941: The conflict between the two ices revives! Anle is about to make a comeback!
"Reprinted from the official website of the Berlin International Film Festival: Starting from July 7, the 20th Berlin International Film Festival will officially begin accepting films from all over the world."

“This morning, the Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee officially announced the list of juries for the main competition unit of the 67th Berlin International Film Festival;

It is reported that the chairman of the jury of this year's main competition unit will be Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, and the list of jury members will include Chinese director, screenwriter and producer Ning Hao! "

"Yesterday evening, the large-scale costume, palace, and political drama "The Princess Weiyoung", produced by Huace Films and starring Zhong Hanliang, Yang Ying, Yu Bo, Sun Yizhou and others, officially closed in Hengdian. The wrap-up press conference will be held this morning."

"The fourth online voting activity for the four young actresses in mainland China is in progress. The current top vote-getter is still Zheng Shuang, the hottest young actress. The second, third and fourth places are Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zi and Guan Xiaotong respectively..."

"Gravity Pictures Investment Co., Ltd. and Hollywood Warner Bros. Pictures released a new group news, saying that they will cooperate to shoot the science fiction and horror film "The Meg" adapted from the science fiction novel "The Meg".

The film's director Joe Dettuba said in an interview with the media that Hollywood films need Chinese audiences, so we will create more Chinese characters in this film.

We will adopt topics that Chinese audiences may be interested in. We also welcome investment from China, and those Chinese investors also hope to see the participation of Chinese characters. In the future, we hope to cooperate with more Chinese actors..."

"It is reported that the role of Zhang Suyin, the heroine of The Meg, is set to be a Chinese marine biologist with a brave, determined and responsible character, and the role will be chosen from among Chinese actresses."

……

On the morning of the 20th, after waking up, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that the entire film and television industry had fallen into an extreme madness!

Especially those big stars, first-line actresses and their fans, they almost turned the entire Weibo upside down!

Gravity Pictures and Warner Bros. will jointly shoot the top-tier Hollywood sci-fi movie "The Meg", and the heroine will be selected from Chinese actresses...

These two conditions alone are enough to make those actresses go crazy and fight over it!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is an opportunity that all actresses dream of.

Once you are able to join the cast and become the leading female role, your status, position, worth, and endorsement fees will all skyrocket. The benefits are simply too numerous to count!
Looking around, the fans of Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing are the most active on Weibo at the moment, and the fans of both sides are already madly "starting a group" attacking each other.

However, the fans of actresses such as Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Shu Qi, Jing Tian, ​​as well as those with lower status such as Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Ni Ni, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying are not particularly active.

After all, when it comes to the most popular actresses at the moment, we have to look at Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing, and the others are undoubtedly slightly inferior.

As for Liu Yifei, she is such a Buddhist person that her fans are not particularly active.

Of course, this doesn't mean other actresses can look down on her.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Yifei jumps out now and says she wants to compete for the leading female role in "The Meg", even Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing will have to stand aside.

This is the value of being the Cannes Film Queen and No. 1 on the personal box office performance list of Chinese-speaking actresses!

As for the fighting power of fans, Liu Yifei's fans are not necessarily weaker than those of the two ice soldiers.

After watching the heated discussions online for a while, Fade Chen retracted his gaze, tucked in the quilt for Miss Liu who was sleeping soundly, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

The first thing he did after closing the door was to call Ning Hao.

After just a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Hey, good morning! Ning, judge of the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival, director Hao!"

"Haha, low profile, low profile. You know I'm not the type of person who likes to be high-profile. Hahahahahaha..."

"Do you want to laugh more wildly?" Fade Chen complained speechlessly.

"Hey, I'm not happy."

"What's going on? Why haven't I heard you mention signing up to be a judge at the next Berlin International Film Festival before? Why did you suddenly announce it today?"

Ning Hao had already answered this question for many friends early in the morning. When he heard Chen Fei's question, he simply said it again:
“The organizing committee actually considered inviting two people at the time, myself and Wang Quanan, mainly because we both won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

At the time, I didn’t know who would be chosen between me and Wang Quan, so I didn’t tell anyone about it. I didn’t expect that the film festival organizing committee would choose me in the end!”

"Oh! So that's how it is." Chen Fei suddenly understood.

Ning Hao was still analyzing non-stop: "I suspect the reason why the film festival organizing committee didn't choose Wang Quanan was mainly because of his previous prostitution incident, which was really damaging to his image."

"It is indeed possible. After all, the overall style of the Berlin International Film Festival is quite serious..."

After chatting for a few minutes, the two ended the call.

Ning Hao is still very busy, because the casting of "Lost in Hong Kong" has officially started yesterday, and he has to be present at the audition site.

Chen Fei was not in a hurry to go over. He planned to wash up first, have breakfast, and then go to the company for a walk.

However, before he could put his phone in his pocket, the phone rang suddenly.

After taking a look at the name on the caller ID, he raised his eyebrows, pressed the answer button, and took the initiative to say hello: "Aunt Liu..."

Liu Xiaoli's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Fei, are you home now? Hongxingwu has received a script for that girl Xixi. I'll arrange for my assistant to send it to you. Please help me take a look at it."

"Hmm? It's not The Meg, is it?"

At this moment, Chen Fei's mind suddenly emerged with the overwhelming film crew news releases he had just seen on the Internet.

"Yes, it's The Meg. Gravity Pictures sent it to us. They want to invite Sissi to play the leading female role, and they also said that we can set the salary."

"I'll take a look at the script when it's delivered. Don't rush to agree to it. After all, this kind of commercial science fiction film doesn't have much appeal to her now. If the quality of the script is not particularly high, it's better not to accept it..."

Chen Fei patiently explained the reason to Liu Xiaoli.

In recent years, he has been working hard to push Liu Yifei in the direction of "acting school" in order to enable her to realize her self-worth and open up a development path different from that of ordinary actresses.

Because your appearance will eventually age, but your acting skills will not fade with the passage of time. Instead, they will become better and better like fine wine!
As for the film pay... Liu Yifei has no shortage of it for a long time. Every year, the income from the high-end luxury brands she endorses is enough for her to live a very rich life.

What's more, she has a boyfriend who has so much money that he can't spend it all!

"Okay, you two can discuss it. If you don't answer, let Xixi call me back and I'll tell them."

"Okay auntie."

After answering, Fade Chen hung up the phone and went straight to the bathroom.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and when he walked out of the bathroom, the people from Red Star Wood also brought the script of "The Meg" over.

"Director Chen, this is what Manager Liu asked me to give you."

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work."

After taking the script and returning to the living room, Fade Chen began to read it with great interest.

As a commercial film script produced by Hollywood, the script of "The Meg" is extremely simple!
It is a story about a prehistoric giant shark, Megalodon, which accidentally escapes from the deep sea, reappears on the earth, starts killing people, and then the hero and heroine fight a desperate battle with it.

And the most important thing is that the heroine is a pure vase type of character, and her appearance is just to set off the hero.

After watching only 1/3 of it, Chen Fei lost interest.

This kind of story is too monotonous and too simple, and is no longer worthy of the current Liu Yifei.

Of course, although he didn't like the script, he certainly wouldn't make the decision for Liu Yifei. Whether or not to act in the role depends on her thoughts.

After casually placing the script in a prominent place in the living room and leaving a note, Fade Chen left the villa and went straight to the company.

After Liu Yifei wakes up, she will naturally read the script. Let her make the decision.

……

At this time, in Li Bingbing's studio, Li Yu, his agent, was connecting with the public relations team.

"No matter what, we must not lose to Fan Bingbing in terms of public opinion... I know she's very popular recently, but so what? We just need to deal with her hard and that's it..."

At the same time, Li Bingbing is also using his own connections and network.

Compared to Fan Bingbing, her qualifications in Hollywood are much stronger than the former. Deng Wendi alone is enough to make her invincible!
However, the news she received at this time was not so friendly.

On the other end of the phone, Deng Wendi said bluntly: "I asked around for you, and Warner Bros. revealed that the best candidate for the female lead is Liu Yifei."

"What?" Li Bingbing suddenly felt something was wrong: "Liu Yifei? Is she going to compete for this role too?" "It's not clear yet. I only know that Warner is in contact with her, but what is certain is that if she agrees, neither you nor Fan Bingbing will have any hope. You should know the specific reasons better than me."

Li Bingbing fell silent immediately.

Whether it is box office appeal or popularity overseas and in the mainland, if we really have to compare them, Liu Yifei is definitely the number one by a large margin.

Just as Deng Wendi said, if she were to compete, then other female stars in the domestic entertainment industry would have to take a break.

She can argue fiercely with Fan Bingbing online, but she would never dare to do so when facing Liu Yifei.

If she makes Chen Fei angry, she will definitely be in big trouble!
"Don't be discouraged. I will keep in close contact with Warner. Once I receive any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wendy."

She had just hung up the phone, and at the same time, Li Yu also hung up the phone.

"Ice Soldier, don't let your guard down for now. Use your connections if necessary. I have a feeling Liu Yifei won't accept the offer. The Meg will start filming in the middle of next month, and she has to attend the Venice International Film Festival, so her schedule will be a big problem.

What's more, this kind of commercial film doesn't add much to her, and maybe people won't even like it."

"I hope so."

Li Bingbing murmured. Now she could only hope that Deng Wendi would help her.

……

At the same time, inside the crew of "Win the World".

While putting on makeup, Fan Bingbing gave his agent some instructions:

“Remember, no matter what the final result is, we must not lose to anyone in public opinion, this is one of the key points.

I will contact my connections in Hollywood later and try to get CAA to help me. Even if the salary is lower, we will try to get this role."

While she was speaking, she was secretly praying in her heart: "Please don't let that person interfere! If she gets involved, I'm afraid no one can beat her!"

When it comes to public opinion propaganda, looking at the domestic entertainment industry, Fan Bingbing is really not afraid of anything.

But when it comes to overseas resources, she doesn't dare to make bold statements and say that she is number one in the domestic entertainment industry.

Because there are many people who are more powerful than her, and even if a competition really starts, her chances of winning are not very high.

……

When he first arrived at the company, Chen Fei did not rush to the audition site of "Lost in Hong Kong", but came to the animation department.

One hundred million yuan has been transferred into the animation department's account, and he is quite curious about the progress there.

"Director Chen, you are here."

"Director Chen, good morning!"

As soon as Chen Fei walked in from the door, he attracted a lot of attention and care, followed by a series of greetings.

"Well, good morning. I ordered coffee and someone will bring it to you later. Remember to pick it up."

As he spoke, Fade Chen went straight to the production area of ​​Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World.

Yang Yu was in charge of this animated film, so when Chen Fei came in, he saw him bending over the computer and working on the modeling details.

Perhaps because he was too focused, he didn't even notice someone approaching from behind.

Chen Fei did not disturb him, but came to another computer next to him and watched some of the content that had already been completed.

Looking around, there is almost no flaw to be found in the pictures, special effects, lenses, scenes, and modeling.

Especially the image of "Nezha", with "dark circles" under his eyes, he even has a hint of "rock" characteristics. He looks ugly and cute, and very interesting.

There wasn't much time in the morning, but Chen Fei stayed in the animation department for nearly two hours.

After watching the footage of Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World, he went to Green Snake and watched many of the footage they had produced with Li Yang, and put forward many constructive suggestions.

He stayed there until 11 o'clock, when Liu Yifei called him, and then he left the animation department.

"I don't want to take the role in The Meg. It's boring and monotonous. The heroine is like a vase. Besides, I promised Han Jianuo that I would play a cameo role for her..."

"Okay, since you don't want to take it, then tell your mother and ask her to turn down the script."

"Okay, I'll call her right away."

"You and Han Jianu..."

Before Chen Fei could finish his words, Liu Yifei hurriedly switched the call.

"Hey? This girl? Why are you so impatient? Did you agree to a guest role with Han Jianuo? Hey, you just finished acting in La La Land, and now you want to go pole dancing?"

……

Time soon came to afternoon.

While Chen Fei and Ning Hao were personally auditioning Wang Baoqiang for "Lost in Hong Kong", Jiang Zhiqiang at Emperor Entertainment Group was looking at the revenue data compiled from the company's 29 cinemas and felt terrible.

After losing the trademark of "Detective Chinatown 2", the cinema chains under Emperor Entertainment Group have had a miserable time during this summer vacation!

They originally wanted to place their hopes on "The Legend of the Gods", but they didn't expect Bona to have such a big failure.

If it weren’t for “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” and “Line Walker” supporting it, I’m afraid we would have suffered losses this month!

On the 19th, quite a few films were released, such as "New Big Head Son and Small Head Dad", "He is a Dragon", "Fire in the Sea", etc.

But after seeing the first-day box office of these movies, Jiang Zhiqiang directly sentenced them all to death.

"Hey! Just hold on a little longer. When Ice Age 23 and Jason Bourne 5 are released on the 5rd, they should be able to attract another group of moviegoers to the theaters."

"It can only be like this..." The cinema manager shook his head, turned around and walked out of the office with helplessness and sadness.

However, at this moment, the production manager pushed open the door and walked in.

"Director Jiang! I have good news for you! All the main creators of Monster Hunt 2 have signed their contracts, and the crew is ready for everything..."

It was a rare piece of good news, and a smile immediately broke out on Jiang Zhiqiang's face.

He couldn't wait to ask, "What did the White Dragon King's disciple say? Has the auspicious date for the project launch conference been determined? When will the filming start?"

"It has been confirmed. We can hold a press conference on the project launch on the 30th of this month, and then start filming on October 10st. That's when our luck will be the best." The production manager responded softly.

"Haha, okay! Great!"

At this moment, Jiang Zhiqi swept away the previous haze and immediately ordered: "Then get ready. Hold a project launch conference on the 30th to announce the relevant matters of the film. Remember to notify all the main creative members and ask them to be there on time!"

"Should we notify the Central Film Bureau?"

"I will call Mr. La in person, and we will go directly to the capital to hold a press conference for the project launch. We must stir up the heat, which will also help the subsequent promotion of the film."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I'll arrange it right away."

"Well, let's go."

As the office door closed again, Jiang Zhiqiang's murmured slowly: "Monster Hunt 1 should have been able to break the 20 billion box office, but it was tricked by Pan Asia Cinemas.

Now Monster Hunt 2 is about to set sail, and with the support of China Film Group, Hengdian Film Group, and Tencent Penguin Pictures, I don’t believe anyone can stop it this time? !

By the end of this month, Edko Films will surely shine brightly in the entire Chinese-language film industry again!"
