It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 953 "In the Name of People" was warned?
Chapter 953 "In the Name of People" was warned?
When we landed in the capital, it was already the morning of the 24th.
In order to avoid being surrounded by paparazzi, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei contacted the airport and very low-key went through the VIP channel directly to the parking lot.
After all, they are not traffic stars, so there is no need for them to deliberately create hype. They can just be as low-key as possible.
On the way home, Fade Chen was bored and started to check the news on his phone.
However, it would have been fine if he hadn't checked it. After checking it, he suddenly discovered that Jiang Wen's "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" had actually announced the name of the protagonist early in the morning!
Looking at the three big characters "Peng Yuyan", Fade Chen was stunned for a long time.
It’s not that there is anything wrong with this actor. The key problem is that this actor is really incompatible with the style of the films that Jiang Wen has directed before.
In Let the Bullets Fly, the first film in the "Beiyang Trilogy", Jiang Wen partnered with Ge You and Chow Yun-fat.
In the second part, "One Step Away", he also partnered with Ge You, Zhou Yun, Shu Qi, Wang Zhiwen and other "acting masters".
But in the third part, "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", he actually chose "Peng Yuyan" to be the male lead instead of playing the role himself.
This is quite different from his previous film style!
"What's going on? Has Jiang Wen awakened? Is he going to embrace the market? Is he going to embrace traffic?"
Fade Chen murmured, his heart full of doubt and surprise.
It is precisely because he knows Jiang Wen that he has this doubt. After all, Peng Yuyan, who is currently constantly marketing positive images such as "fitness", "certification", and "positive image", is also one of the synonyms of "traffic" in the circle.
Whenever he stars in a movie, he has a lot of fans who like his looks.
At least as for his acting skills, it can only be said that different people have different opinions.
Anyway, in Chen Fei's opinion, this actor's voice, stage presence, appearance and performance are not up to standard, and he is even worse than those actors who graduated from professional schools but are unknown and mediocre.
If he wasn't strong in marketing, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach his current heights.
His joining of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" and successfully playing the leading male role is undoubtedly a huge marketing success!
"Jingle Bell!"
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.
After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button: "Hello? Director Kang?"
On the other end of the phone, Kang Honglei asked impatiently, "Director Chen, when will you return to China? There are some problems with In the Name of People."
"I'm already in the country now, what's the problem?"
Chen Fei knew long ago that there would definitely be problems with this drama during the later review stage, so he was not too impatient, but calmly asked about the specific situation.
"Alas!" Kang Honglei sighed helplessly, "Some people are very dissatisfied with the scale of this drama and asked for major changes in the post-production editing, but they didn't say how to change it specifically."
After hearing this, Fade Chen roughly understood what was going on.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I'll ask what's going on."
After hanging up the phone and thinking for a while, he found the phone number of Zhang Hong, who was in charge of film and television drama review, and called her directly.
After a while, the call was answered.
When Zhang Hong heard the purpose of Chen Fei's visit, she smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry about the review, I will keep an eye on it. The main reason is that some of the plots and lines in the film are too explicit, so they must be modified.
As for the specific revision suggestions, a formal document will be issued in a few days. Then you can just follow the document and adjust those shots that are not so good.
To be honest, during the review, people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate also came, and Director Tong and I have watched the drama ourselves. It is very well shot and has a very shocking significance. It can be called a masterpiece in the anti-corruption theme..."
Afterwards, the two chatted about this anti-corruption drama for half an hour.
Chen Fei could clearly judge that the General Administration and the Supreme People's Procuratorate were actually very satisfied with the drama, but some people were afraid that it would cause a bad influence.
Once the TV series is successfully released, some people will definitely be uneasy.
But isn’t this exactly the effect the Supreme People’s Procuratorate wants?
Isn't it that the purpose of shooting anti-corruption films is to have an anti-corruption and deterrent effect? Otherwise, why shoot them?
Therefore, there is no doubt that the Supreme People's Procuratorate will definitely make efforts in the later review.
But before hanging up the phone, Fade Chen reminded him, "Director Zhang, you must keep the video source safe and make sure it is not leaked by someone with ulterior motives."
"Don't worry about that!" Zhang Hong assured, "I know how important this drama is. I personally followed up on the review, and I used people I trust. I will definitely ensure that the source of the film will not be leaked."
"That's good. I'm really sorry to trouble Director Zhang..."
Chen Fei still remembers it very clearly. In the original time and space, "In the Name of People" had just been broadcast to the tenth episode, and all the film sources suddenly appeared on the Internet, with a watermark saying "sample film for review" on it.
When he first watched this drama, he watched the leaked source.
That is why he specifically asked about the "security of the film source".
You know, the popularity of this drama was affected a lot because the source of the film was leaked. It is hard to guarantee that it was not a trick done by someone with ulterior motives.
After hanging up the phone and relaying the results to Kang Honglei, Chen Fei temporarily put the matter behind him.
With Zhang Hong's guarantee and the help of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, there should be no problem for "In the Name of People" to pass the review and be broadcast on satellite TV.
What he needs to face now is the difficulties caused by "Dying to Survive".
September is almost over, and if this project is not launched quickly, next year's "Avengers 9" may also be affected.
……
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fei appeared downstairs of the company.
As expected, when he got out of the car and walked into the company, he was photographed by the paparazzi who were waiting outside the door.
In less than half an hour, the hot searches on Weibo and major portals were refreshed.
"On the 15th day after the Venice International Film Festival, Director Chen Fei showed up at the company in a low profile manner, walking in a hurry. It seems that he had an important matter to deal with urgently."
"After the proposal was successful, Director Chen Fei and Liu Yifei finally returned to China! The two did not appear in public together."
"It seems like good things are coming soon. Director Chen Fei has a faint trace of a wedding ring on his left ring finger..."
"According to insiders, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei are currently secretly married abroad!"
"Liu Yifei has not been found yet. She seems to be pregnant and is abroad to take care of the baby."
I have to say that these paparazzi and the media are really good at making associations. They can easily create a 300-episode soap opera with just one photo or even a back view!
As for these messages, Chen Fei would naturally not pay attention to them, because Weibo would help him deal with them as soon as possible.
Walking into the office, he began to deal with some documents that had accumulated during this period.
While reviewing the financial documents, the secretary was reporting on the current cinema market situation: "The daily box office revenue of A Chinese Odyssey Part Three and Soulmate, which were released on the 14th, has both fallen below 3 million.
As for the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Star Trek 3", it was taken off the screen yesterday, and the total box office was only 4.4 million, which is not very high.
At present, the attention of the cinema market has been focused on the National Day period, and the movie "Aces Go Fighting" has held its premiere event on the 22nd.
The premiere of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be our company's "Ghost Blowing Light: Kunlun Palace", and the day after that will be Guangguang's "Passing By Your World". The invitation letter for the premiere has been delivered to the company..."
Looking around, the most popular ones are undoubtedly "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" and "Jade Dynasty".
The two movies have entered the stage of "competing for traffic".
As the sequel to a hit movie, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" has its own traffic and has received a lot of attention.
And "Jade Dynasty" is also not weak!
Some time ago, the fact that director Guo Jingming's name was not on the movie promotional poster caused quite a stir in the circle.
And now, after Guo Jingming successfully "defended his rights", LeTV Pictures has brought out a group of "high-traffic actors" including Fan Bingbing, Wu Yifan, Chen Weiting, Wang Yuan, Yang Mi, etc., and used their fame to start the final round of publicity sprint!
With the support of fans of these "high-traffic actors", this film, which combines multiple layers of exquisite outer layers such as CG fantasy, action, adventure, lMAX-3D, has undoubtedly attracted huge attention and traffic.
LeTV Pictures even shouted out a very arrogant slogan:
"Once "Lord of the Rings" is released, the National Day is invincible!"
Looking at this slogan that topped the trending search list, Chen Fei just wanted to laugh.
The movie hasn't even been released yet, but the slogan of winning No. 1 on the National Day box office chart has already been announced. Isn't this equivalent to popping champagne at halftime?
You know, this kind of behavior is taboo no matter what industry you are in!
If it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, it will be fun to watch. "Go inform Ning Hao and ask him to continue to increase the public relations efforts. Since "Legend of the Condor Heroes" wants to compete so much, then we should play with them."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll contact Director Ning right away."
The secretary responded and quickly left the office.
Fade Chen didn't even raise his head and continued to work on his task.
……
In the capital, in the newly established Century Changshengtian Film and Television Company of Wuershan.
"Haha, this guy is finally back. I've been waiting for so long!"
Looking at Song Ge, who was smiling brightly, Wu Ershan couldn't help but frown slightly: "Mr. Song, will your idea work? Will Feiyue Films accept the investment share that Bona doesn't want?"
The 30 billion investment in the "Fengshen" trilogy actually shocked Wu Ershan himself.
After all, according to the budget he made, it would only cost about 15 billion to shoot all three films. After all, most of the plots can be shot in duplicate, which can save a lot of money.
However, Song Ge, chairman of Jingxi Pictures, the main controller, strongly demanded that the production cost be increased to 30 billion!
To be honest, this number was not what Wu Ershan expected. After all, he did not have so much dirty money to launder.
But as a vested interest, he could not refuse Song Ge's offer, so he could only choose to accept it.
Song Ge was very confident at this moment, and he promised solemnly: "I bet he will accept it. Is there anyone who would dislike too much money?"
"But I heard that Feiyue Films and Bona Films and Anle Films have long ceased to have any dealings with each other. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to win over Chen Fei!"
"Don't worry, there are no eternal enemies in the world. There are only unequal distribution of benefits. As long as we can offer sufficiently favorable conditions, I don't believe he won't be tempted.
If we can successfully mediate the conflict between these three companies, with the fame of Chen Fei and Feiyue Films, the popularity of "Legend of the Gods" will surely reach a new level!"
This is naturally beyond doubt. Once the great reconciliation of the century and the 30 billion production are exposed, "Legend of the Gods" will inevitably become the focus of countless people inside and outside the circle in the next few years.
But the premise of all this is that mediation can be successful.
Wu Ershan had no confidence anyway. He was just a director, and his task was to successfully tell the story of "The Legend of the Gods".
As for the rest, it depends on Song Ge.
"When do we leave?"
"It's better to do it today than today. Let's do it tomorrow. Prepare the project and the script and go with me. We will try to get it right the first time!"
"Okay, Mr. Song."
Wu Ershan nodded slightly and accepted the job.
He is best at telling stories, and he believes that through his narration, Chen Fei will definitely fall in love with the script of "The Legend of Conferred Gods".
……
After "untold hardships" and "unremitting efforts", La Peikang finally caught up with Han Sanping outside the review department of the General Administration.
"Boss Han, you gave me a hard time looking for you!"
Looking at the "Zuoshan Diao" father and daughter in front of him, there was a hint of complaint in La Peikang's tone.
"Looking for me? What for?"
Han Sanping looked at La Peikang in confusion.
"Why can't I get through to you on this phone?"
"Oh, I went to some special departments yesterday and didn't come out until more than half an hour ago. I didn't have time to turn on my phone."
While explaining, Han Sanping turned on her cell phone in front of La Peikang.
Seeing this, La Peikang's resentment immediately dissipated a little.
But before he could continue to say anything, Han Sanping asked anxiously: "Are you okay? If not, I'll leave first."
The three checkpoints of justice, health and propaganda have finally been opened up today. The next step is to take the script to the review department to go through the process.
Han Sanping is very busy at the moment. He has to say hello to Tong Gang and Zhang Hong, otherwise the review department will not dare to accept the script.
"So anxious... Is it because of Jia Nu's script?"
As soon as La Peikang said this, Han Sanping frowned subconsciously, and a trace of annoyance flashed through her mind uncontrollably.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Director Han, China Film Group is also a state-owned enterprise!"
La Peikang began to feel a little aggrieved. Why could Shanghai Film Group and Xi'an Film Group participate, but China Film Group couldn't?
"I know."
Han Sanping nodded without changing his expression, and then made a decisive shot!
"Ren Zhonglun is willing to go to the Shanghai government for this project. The people from Xiying Film Studio are throwing a tantrum at the Central Propaganda Department and even living in the office of a leader, shamelessly begging for favors... The Supreme People's Procuratorate, Golden Shield, and the Navy can endorse it. Feiyue Film and Television is responsible for production, distribution, and scheduling... So what about you? How can you help me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, La Peikang was silenced.
Because what he could do, Han Sanping could also solve on her own, so there was no need for him at all.
As for funding, distribution, and theaters, Feiyue Film and Television can take charge of the overall situation, and even do better than China Film.
What about him?
Waving flags and shouting?
Beat the drum to cheer?
Is there a use for these yarns?
If you want to gain political achievements, you have to work hard. If you just want to get it for free, how could other investors agree?
In the end, La Peikang could only stand aside silently, watching Han Sanping and Han Jianu leave quickly.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor, accompanied by a greeting voice: "Hey? Mr. La? Why are you here?"
La Peikang turned around subconsciously, and raised his eyebrows uncontrollably when he saw the person coming towards him.
"Mr. Song? Long time no see, why are you here..."
~
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, just as LeTV Pictures was holding a large-scale premiere celebration for "Jade Dynasty", several "breaking news" suddenly flew back to China from Spain across the ocean!
“Reprinted from El Mundo (El Mundo): The 64th San Sebastian International Film Festival officially ended last night;
The film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" directed by Feng Xiaogang successfully attracted everyone's attention with its profound theme, superb acting skills and outstanding artistic achievements, and eventually won the Golden Shell Award for Best Film;
This is not only the pinnacle of personal honor for Director Feng Xiaogang, but also another magnificent blossoming of Chinese-language films on the international stage..."
"Chinese actress Fan Bingbing won the Silver Shell Award for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in I Am Not Madame Bovary, relying on her superb acting skills and deep understanding of the role. She also won the title of Best Actress.
This is another honor after she won the Best Actress Award at the A-Class Film Festival in 2010 for "Guan Yin Shan". It also makes her the fourth Chinese actress in the world and the sixth actress in Asia to have won two Best Actress awards at A-Class Film Festivals..."
"Huayi's official Weibo account published a long article five minutes ago, highly praising the talents of director Feng Xiaogang and Fan Bingbing. The article pointed out that "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is not only an excellent film, but also a masterpiece that adds luster to Chinese-language films;

“With the successful conclusion of the 64th San Sebastian International Film Festival, I Am Not Madame Bovary will also be released in theaters nationwide on November 11;
This highly anticipated Chinese masterpiece will officially enter the audience's field of vision, allowing more people to feel the shock and touch it brings. We hope that the majority of movie fans can go to the theater and personally appreciate this excellent work that adds luster to Chinese films!"
I don’t know how many press releases Huayi has bought, but looking around, Weibo, major portals, social platforms, etc. have all been flooded with the news of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" winning the award.
"Jade Dynasty" was hit hard, and the popularity of the premiere was directly overshadowed.
There was a sudden surge of heated discussions on the Internet, which was dazzling and overwhelming!
Chen Fei was originally browsing the news, but Su Guohai's sudden arrival interrupted him.
"Mr. Chen, there are guests coming to the company!"
