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

Chapter 948: Small success depends on promotion, big success depends on luck! Congratulations! My heroine!

"It is reported that BJ Princess Culture Communication Co., Ltd., in which Zhao Yanzi holds a 70% stake, has been reported for tax evasion and is currently under investigation."

"According to an insider, Zhao Yanzi has been blacklisted by all major TV stations, and all her variety shows, movies and TV series will no longer be broadcast on satellite channels."

"Previously, several brands that Zhao Yanzi had worked with unilaterally announced the termination of their contracts with her and will file a lawsuit against her, demanding compensation for the damage to her reputation..."

On the 4th, Weibo's hot searches were still filled with news about Zhao Yanzi.

The main reason is that her behavior is so bad and the impact is so wide-ranging!
Going to a film festival as a judge, he actually disrupted the fairness and impartiality of the judging, and was directly removed from the list by the organizing committee. Isn't this too damn embarrassing?
At this point, those fans who liked her before began to stop following her.

As for those people in the circle who have a good relationship with her, they dare not speak out to get involved in this matter, for fear of getting into trouble and affecting their careers.

At this time, Happy Twist is holding a project launch conference for "The Shameful Iron Fist".

"Director Liu, the hot searches on the internet are all dominated by the incident involving Zhao Yanzi. Our movie press conference is not gaining any popularity at all. Do you want to buy some press releases?"

"No, there's no need. It's better not to get involved at a time like this."

Liu Hongtao directly rejected Song Yang's proposal.

As the boss of a company, he needs to look at things from a perspective that is independent of his employees.

The incident involving Zhao Yanzi has suddenly caused such a huge stir, even prompting many official accounts to criticize and even threaten to ban her. There must be someone behind this.

Considering that the incident originated from the Venice International Film Festival, some speculations inevitably arose in many people's minds.

Liu Hongtao actually had a vague guess in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Yanzi has offended a big shot who has great ability and power, and can even influence the organizing committee of the Venice International Film Festival!
Well, I am currently at the Venice International Film Festival, and I have great influence, and I have conflicts with Zhao Yanzi...

It is not easy to stack so many buffs. Looking around, there are only a few of them!

"Tsk tsk, you still couldn't stop even after you went abroad, and now you've hit a wall, right?"

After secretly complaining a few words in his heart, Liu Hongtao turned to look at Song Yang and reminded him again: "Keep quiet these few days and don't worry about the popularity. We will buy hot searches after the movie officially starts shooting.

If you have nothing to do recently, you can study the new project. I think the story of "Li Cha's Aunt" is quite good. You can try to adapt it into a movie script."

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

……

In the afternoon, as soon as he returned to China, Zhao rushed to Alibaba Pictures to seek help.

However, facing the overwhelming public opinion attacks, Zhang Qiong is also helpless at this moment.

“The trending searches on the Internet can be suppressed. The worst that can happen is that you just have to spend a little more money. It’s not a big deal. Maybe the popularity will naturally decrease after a while.

But now the key is that you have been expelled from the Venice International Film Festival Organizing Committee. This is the real problem, do you understand? If you can't handle this matter, your career will be completely ruined. "

Upon hearing this, Zhao's face darkened and he said nothing.

How could she not know?

On the way back to China, she was already trying to find a solution, but no matter how big her network of contacts was, she could not influence the Venice International Film Festival at all.

Although Beijing Film Academy is considered half of her base camp, its influence can only cover the mainland and has no impact abroad, let alone places like the three major European film festivals.

Coupled with the media's stirring up of rumors and the official Weibo's warning of consequences, she was completely thrown into death row!

She also tried to call Ma Yun, but the reply from "God" was almost the same as Zhang Qi's.

It is easy to solve in China, but there is really no way to solve it abroad.

With this result, she had no choice but to admit defeat, and she didn't even have anywhere to ask for mercy!

Wanting Chen Fei to forgive her was even more nonsense!

"Go back and stop struggling." Zhang Qi advised helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, no matter what you do, it will be in vain. It's better to solve the company's problems first and think of other solutions later."

"Well, I see."

Zhao Yanzi responded sullenly and left Alibaba Pictures dejectedly.

Being removed from the film festival is just the beginning. The company, endorsements, bans... these are the difficulties she will have to face next!

If she is not careful, she will be doomed!

……

Five days have passed in a flash, and there is only one day left until the awards ceremony of the 5rd Venice International Film Festival.

Under Chen Fei's operation, "La La Land" caused a lot of heated discussion and praise at the Venice International Film Festival, and the calls for it to win an award became more and more frequent.

He had already set a goal before coming here, and this time he came only for the "Best Actress" award, so there was very little competition.

As for the "Golden Lion", he never thought about it at all. After all, "La La Land" is just a musical, not a top-notch reality-themed film, and it is impossible to deserve the honor of the "Golden Lion".

Of course, it is not impossible to fight for it, but the key is that it is unnecessary.

Once the situation of "unworthy of the position" occurs, it will not only affect the film festival, but also his own reputation, which is not what he wants to see.

Liu Yifei got up early today, which was rare for her, and did not choose to stay in bed.

As the awards ceremony approached, she became visibly nervous, no longer as relaxed as when she first came to the film festival.

It was hard for Chen Fei, who had to be nervous with her.

"Don't turn off your phone, you have to keep it connected. Also, don't turn on the vibrate mode, so as not to delay answering the call..."

For the entire morning, Liu Yifei gave him all kinds of instructions, fearing that there might be a problem with his phone, which would result in him missing the invitation call from the organizing committee.

Whether you can win the prize depends on this phone call. If you miss it, you don’t know if you will have another chance to come to Venice to win the prize in the future.

However, it would have been better if they hadn't waited. After they started waiting, they received an unexpected phone call!
"Jingle Bell!"

Seeing her cell phone suddenly ringing, Liu Yifei couldn't help feeling confused.

After all, she didn't leave her contact information with the organizing committee, so how could the staff call her?

Out of curiosity, she picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID.

"Ah! It's my dad!"

On the sofa on the other side, watching Liu Yifei excitedly answer the phone, Chen Fei felt a little nervous for some reason. This is a unique emotion that only exists between father-in-law and son-in-law.

He almost forgot that Liu's father had already informed him that he would come to Venice to visit his daughter.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is already being prepared.

Sure enough, after listening for a while, he saw Liu Yifei had already started to respond.

"What time is your flight tomorrow? Remember to send me your ticket information and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up... Do you want to attend the film festival awards ceremony? We have to leave this afternoon to walk the red carpet..."

After more than ten minutes, the father and daughter officially ended the call.

As soon as she put down her phone, Liu Yifei asked Chen Fei, "My father also wants to attend the award ceremony. Can you arrange a seat for him?"

"Of course, I'll ask the organizing committee to reserve a vacant seat in advance."

As Chen Fei was about to make a phone call, his cell phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed the answer button.

The next second, a formal notification came from the phone: "This is the organizing committee of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, Mr. Chen Fei, we now specially invite you to attend the awards ceremony of this year's Venice International Film Festival at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening..."

In less than a minute, the call was hung up.

Fade Chen put down his phone, turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei, and smiled softly: "You can finally rest assured now, right?"

"Yeah! I got a call! There's a prize to claim!"

Liu Yifei cheered immediately and jumped around the room to celebrate. Then she couldn't wait to pick up her phone and started sharing the good news with others.

At the same time, after contacting the organizing committee to coordinate seats, Chen Fei began to contact other members of the crew and informed them of the good news.

When they heard that they could attend the award ceremony tomorrow, they couldn't hide their excitement!
……

Compared to the Venice International Film Festival, the 64th San Sebastian International Film Festival will be held a few days later than the former.

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is on September 9th, while the opening ceremony of the San Sebastian International Film Festival is on September 10th.

Even though the film festival has not yet officially opened, Feng Xiaogang has already arrived at the scene in advance.

Because he wants to win the award, he has to come earlier than others and start the public relations and film promotion in advance, so that he has a chance to win the grand prize.

Of course, while striving for the prize, he did not forget the situation in China.

Seeing that the time difference in China had already reached morning, he couldn't wait to call Wang Zhonglei and inquire about the progress of the script review.

"Director Feng, please don't be impatient. The script review for this type of subject matter will definitely not be quick. Even if we have used our connections, we still have to go through the necessary procedures step by step."

"Okay, but try to do it as quickly as possible, because I'm about to start the casting plan. I have to select the roles in advance and let them participate in a period of training."

He was full of confidence in the film, wanting it to have both artistic and commercial attributes, so he naturally treated casting as a "business."

In order to make the "business" go smoothly, he had to get the product out, so he couldn't wait to get the script of "Youth" approved. After chatting for a few more sentences, Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to end the call.

He will be meeting a film festival judge later and needs to think about what gift to prepare.

However, just when he had just finished talking to Wang Zhonglei, an unexpected call came in!

After pressing the answer button, he was quite surprised and asked, "Hello? Mr. Chen? It's only seven o'clock in China, why are you calling me?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Jingfei laughed and said, "I have to ask for help, so I have to be more diligent. At the same time, I have to consider Director Feng's time difference, haha..."

"Need a favor from anyone?" Feng Xiaogang raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"I heard that Director Feng's Youth is about to pass the review, right? I just happen to have a suitable person here..."

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

Putting the phone in his pocket, Feng Xiaogang walked out of the hotel while muttering, "I really didn't expect that the first business would come so quickly. Interesting, really interesting, hahahaha!"

At the same time, in a villa in the capital.

After ending the call with Feng Xiaogang, Chen Jingfei lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the person in his arms, and said, "I have already secured an audition opportunity for you. Now it's up to you."

"Yeah, I know. I will treasure it. Thank you for your kind words."

Yang Caiyu gently leaned on the man's chest to express her gratitude
She knows very well that in this film and television industry full of opportunities and challenges, if you want to truly stand out, you need not only talent and hard work, but more importantly, resources and opportunities!

"Small fame depends on promotion, big fame depends on luck" is a saying that has been circulating in the circle for a long time and has been verified by many predecessors, and she herself also firmly believes in it.

In this era where capital is king, the threshold for entering the film and television industry has become increasingly high. It is even more difficult for those without background and resources to succeed!

She is relatively lucky. After all, Chen Jingfei not only possesses abundant resources and connections, but also has financial resources that make countless people jealous. Being favored by him is an important turning point in her acting career.

She must find a way to get the role in "Youth".

However, what Yang Caiyu didn't know was that although Chen Jingfei was holding her in his arms at this time, he was thinking about another woman in his heart.

"Cannes Film Queen, Chinese actress box office record holder, billion-dollar box office heroine, behind-the-scenes boss of Longxiang Capital... Hehe, Xiaoli! You are such a good mother. You actually chose such a destination for your daughter. I admire you! I really admire you so much!"

……

Arriving on the 10th as promised.

While many domestic filmmakers were discussing the winners of this year's Venice International Film Festival, news of Shen Teng and Wang Qi's wedding had already spread on Weibo.

Although the two did not invite the media to the wedding, half of the comedy world went to the wedding, and He Jiong served as the wedding host...

Posting this on the Moments and Weibo of relatives and friends naturally attracted the attention of many netizens and fans.

In contrast, the other couple seemed a little ignored.

In Taiwan Province, Peter Ho and his girlfriend of eight years, Lin Pei-Hsi, also held a wedding ceremony on September 9.

Although they invited many media to attend, in terms of popularity, they naturally could not compare with Shen Teng.

In fact, Chen Fei also received Shen Teng's wedding invitation, but due to work reasons, he could only send congratulations and gift money in Venice.

Liu Yifei was busy putting on makeup in the hotel for the entire morning.

You know, she has a lot of high-end endorsements, and it naturally takes a lot of effort to show all the details.

Chen Fei didn't have that much trouble. He put on his suit and it was done smoothly.

But it’s not good to be too idle.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Liu Yifei actually sent him to the airport to pick someone up!
So, the father-in-law and son-in-law met for the first time.

Although Chen Fei had never seen Liu Yifei's father in real life before, he recognized him immediately because he had seen a photo of him in her room.

At the airport entrance, he saw Liu's father coming out, and he hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Hello, uncle."

"You are Chen Fei, right? Hearing about him is worse than meeting him in person. You are indeed very impressive."

Mr. Liu is not a serious person. He is an intellectual, and the temperament he exudes makes people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

"Let's get in the car first." Seeing that many people had noticed this place, Chen Fei quickly took Liu's father away from the airport and avoided the media's attention.

After getting in the car and arranging the driver to go back to the hotel first, Fade Chen started chatting with Liu's father.

He was actually a little nervous before coming, but after actually meeting them, he suddenly wasn't nervous anymore.

After all, Father Liu is not a monster, nor will he eat people. In addition, he has a very good temperament and conversation, so the atmosphere will naturally be much more relaxed.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Fei took Liu's father to the room where Liu Yifei was putting on makeup.

When she saw her biological father coming, Miss Liu was very excited.

If the makeup artist wasn't still applying makeup on her face, she would probably jump for joy!

"Dad, haven't you eaten yet? I'll let Fade take you to eat first! Then you can rest for a while and follow us to the venue at 5pm.

Chen Fei has already arranged a seat for you yesterday. When you arrive at the venue, don't run around. Just wait in your seat. The award ceremony will start at 8 o'clock. It may be a bit late when it ends. There will be a buffet at the venue..."

Listening to his daughter's chattering, Father Liu had a gratified smile on his face and would respond from time to time.

Although he already has a new family, he has always loved his daughter. He just regrets that they cannot meet often because they are in two different places.

……

The time is getting closer to the award ceremony.

After finishing her makeup, Liu Yifei went to talk to her father in private.

Chen Fei did not disturb the conversation between the father and daughter, but returned to the room alone and called the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee.

"Fei, don't worry, everything has been arranged. After the Best Newcomer Award ceremony, the organizing committee will arrange for you to perform. I wish you success in achieving your goal in advance. Haha, we are all looking forward to that moment..."

"Thank you very much, ma'am!"

After the call ended, Fade Chen turned to the suitcase, took out a diamond ring that he had prepared long ago and put it in his jacket pocket.

Everything was ready, he turned and walked out of the room, locked the door, and went downstairs.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Liu's father and other crew members got into several cars and headed straight for the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.

At 6:05, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet together, while Liu's father followed the others and entered the venue through the side door.

The red carpet scammers not only took place at the opening ceremony, but also at the closing ceremony.

While walking along the way, Chen Fei noticed several female stars who refused to leave the red carpet. Some of them were from China and some were from abroad. They made a fool of themselves and looked extremely ugly!
But this situation could not be avoided, and he could only choose to ignore it.

After coming to the autograph wall and leaving their names, the two walked into the venue hand in hand.

Liu Yifei went to look for her father again, fearing that he would not be able to find a seat in this unfamiliar place, be wronged, or even go hungry.

Chen Fei followed her to say hello first, and then began to greet and chat with other filmmakers who were present today.

Natalie Portman, Jim Carrey, Jake Gyllenhaal…they all came from Hollywood and are all familiar faces.

Time soon came to 8 o'clock in the evening and the award ceremony officially began.

The chairman of the jury, Sam Mendes, led the seven judges to give a speech on the stage, once again severely criticizing Zhao Yanzi's behavior as despicable, and then announced the official start of tonight's award ceremony!
The first works to be awarded are those from non-main competition units such as the "Classic Unit", "Future Lion Unit" and "Horizon Unit".

Wang Bing's "Bitter Money" won the Best Screenplay Award in the Horizon Unit, attracting the attention and cheers of many media and fans from China.

More than an hour later, the award ceremony for the main competition officially began.

As the first Special Jury Award was presented, Liu Yifei suddenly became nervous!
We have done so much preparatory work before, and public relations, marketing, and publicity have all been rolled out on a large scale. Now it is finally time to reap the rewards, but I wonder if the result will be as smooth as we had imagined.
She really wanted to win this award because the two men she loved most and was closest to were here today, and she really wanted to prove to them that she could do it!
"It must succeed!"

As she prayed, the winners of the "Marcello Mastroianni Best Newcomer Award" and the "Silver Lion Award for Best Screenplay" were announced.

And next is the "Best Actress Award"!

At this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly felt her palms become wet, and the tension began to spread wildly!
"Fade Chen, I...I seem a little nervous..."

She subconsciously wanted to seek comfort, but when she turned around, she suddenly found that Chen Fei, who had been sitting next to her, was nowhere to be seen!

"Huh? What about people?"

Before she could recover from her surprise and confusion, she saw a familiar figure suddenly lift the curtain and walk out from behind the stage.

"Good evening, everyone. I am the presenter of the 'Best Actress' award at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival Awards Ceremony today - Chen Fei!"

As the loud voice from the stage spread, Liu Yifei, who was originally nervous in the front row, instantly regained her composure.

The smile returned to her face, full of tenderness and love, and the deep love in her eyes was sent to the stage without any concealment.

At the same time, Chen Fei, who was on the podium, also successfully opened the envelope.

Taking a step forward, he announced into the microphone word by word:
"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival is Crystal (Liu Yifei) for "La La Land".

Congratulations! My heroine! "
