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

Chapter 969: The uproar at the premiere... The public opinion suddenly changed! People's hearts were completely black!

A whole night passed and the time turned to the 25th.

Chen Fei got up early because he was going to attend the premiere of "Duds".

Similarly, at Liu Xiaoli's urging, Liu Yifei also yawned and got up from the bed with difficulty.

Like Chen Fei, she also has her own job. For example, this morning she is going to record a variety show about "dance" to promote "La La Land".

"Wow, it's already been a whole night, why are they still arguing online?"

While drinking porridge, Liu Yifei was reading the news on Weibo and eating melons in big mouthfuls.

Chen Fei was also following the news online.

Looking around, the competition between the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University has now reached a white-hot stage.

The fans of the former gathered together and crashed the official Weibo and website of the latter, but they still did not stop. Instead, they posted a lot of posts criticizing the school's rules and regulations, humanistic qualities, and even went to the level of "regional black"!

Although the latter is weak, there are still some college students who support their alma mater and work hard to "counterattack" the negative posts on the Internet.

Seeing this, Fade Chen already felt something was wrong.

If it was just a dispute between the crew and East China Normal University, it would still be within a controllable range. But now it has escalated to the stage of regional blackmail. If nothing unexpected happens, the official should be about to take action!

The time soon came to half past nine in the morning.

When Chen Fei appeared alone on the red carpet of the premiere of "Duds", he was faced with a large number of questions from reporters!

"Director Chen, what do you think of Feng Xiaogang's attack on ECNU on Weibo, and his escalation of the conflict to regional discrimination and even dissatisfaction with a province?"

"Someone took a photo of Fan Bingbing being taken away from the scene, with tears in his eyes. Did you feel any sympathy for him?"

"As the parties involved, the writers/screenwriters Fang Fang and Liu Zhenyun have both chosen to stand against ECNU. As a well-known screenwriter in the industry, will you choose to stand behind them, speak for them, and denounce ECNU together?"

"..."

From the beginning of the red carpet to the end and autograph session, all that lingered in Chen Fei's ears were the issues between "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and "ECNU".

The media like to watch the fun, no matter how big the event. Every question seems normal, but there are traps of varying sizes hidden inside, just waiting for him to jump in!

However, how smart was Chen Fei? How could he be fooled by them?

Faced with these questions, he pretended not to hear them all. After signing his name, he walked into the premiere venue.

Now the public opinion on the Internet has been leaning towards the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian". Many netizens thought that the crew was wronged, so they chose to stand on Feng Xiaogang's side.

But Chen Fei felt that something was wrong.

The administration of East China Normal University is not stupid. No matter how you look at it, the behavior of temporarily expelling people from the event is not something a key undergraduate university would do.

So, there must be something else going on!
And he would never get involved until the truth of the incident came to light. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, it is not a wise choice to make any comments now. It is better to pretend that you didn’t hear or see it.

……

"Duds" is a low-budget movie jointly invested and produced by Happy Twist and Feiyue Film and Television, and it did not cause much waves in the film and television industry.

After all, the screenwriter, director, actors, and even the entire production team have no connection with Feiyue Films, and it is adapted from a stage play. This kind of project is not favored by the outside world.

Even in the eyes of many people, the success of "Charlotte's Troubles" was just luck.

As for this "Duds", it is estimated that it can only make a small wave.

Based on this, there were very few people in the industry who came to attend the premiere of the film today.

Looking around, apart from the people from the Happy Twist team, the rest are just some people from the sketch, stage play and drama circles.

The arrival of this super celebrity, Chen Fei, was undoubtedly "sensational" for everyone!

"Mr. Chen, welcome to our company, haha." Zhang Chen, CEO of Happy Twist, was the first to come forward, followed by Yan Fei, Peng Damu and others.

Shen Teng also came to the premiere today, but Ma Li was still in Russia because she was filming "The Mystery of Dragon Seal".

"Hello, Mr. Zhang... Shen Teng, congratulations! Happy wedding..."

After smiling and greeting a group of familiar people in front of him, Chen Fei then paid attention to the main creative members of "Duds".

"Hello, Director Chen. I'm Ren Suxi. I graduated from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama. I'm currently focusing on acting in dramas. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be an actor..."

Looking at the Yantai girl who was greeting him sincerely, Chen Fei smiled and said, "Keep up your best. Since you can stand the test of the drama stage, I believe you will make great achievements in the film and television industry."

"I certainly will!"

Ren Suxi nodded solemnly.

"Director Chen, hey, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Aruna, haha, I was wondering why I haven't seen any movement from you recently, turns out you were hiding here."

Chen Fei was still very satisfied with this young man from Inner Mongolia.

When he was working with Zhang Yi on "The Murderer", Chen Fei thought he was very spiritual, and the facts proved that it was indeed the case...

This kid has his own way of performing!
During the subsequent half-hour long social event, Chen Fei made many "new friends".

For example, Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, Pan Changjiang, etc., all of them came to the premiere today, specifically to support this movie "Duds".

At 10 o'clock sharp, the movie officially began.

The story of this movie is quite interesting. It mainly tells the story of a school in a remote mountain village which lied about the number of teachers in the school in order to obtain teaching funds from superiors. It also lied about a donkey as an English teacher named "Lü Deshui" in order to collect empty salary.

Everything seemed to be going well, but unexpectedly, the superiors sent a special commissioner to investigate the teaching situation of teacher "Lu Deshui".

With the arrival of the special envoys from higher authorities, the principals and teachers in the rural primary schools were suddenly at a loss as to what to do.

In order to deal with the inspection, they had to find the village coppersmith and try to get him to pretend to be the non-existent teacher "Lu De Shui".

The story officially begins from here...

The director deliberately used a humorous and absurd narrative technique, using extreme forms of expression to express the duality of human nature, and through the form of the film, he infinitely magnified the cruelty of social reality!

There is no so-called complex and flexible hypothetical world in the narrative. The film always shows an absurd and non-existent world.

For example, at the wedding of Tongjiang and Sun Jia, the people sitting in the auditorium, the black donkey made of paper (Lu De Shui), and Mr. Ross who was dressed in Chinese clothes and acted as a pastor, all these imply that what is appearing before our eyes is not real, but an absurd, fictional world.

The film as a whole uses black humor to outline the characters from all corners of society, staging a farce in which dreams can never be reflected in reality. It is both realistic and thought-provoking.

In the first half of the story, everyone is human and is fighting for the ideal of rural education;
But in the second half, everyone turned into animals. Under the influence of huge interests and the suppression of evil forces, everyone gradually turned evil, and finally created a real realistic tragedy!

After the 111-minute film was played, director Zhou Shen led a group of main creative members to the stage and talked about some interesting things, difficulties and feelings encountered during the filming.

As a special guest, Chen Fei naturally could not miss the subsequent interview session.

However, when he went on stage and took the microphone handed to him by the host, before the media reporters on the scene could ask questions, he had already made a "patch" in advance.

“I feel I need to clarify that today, we will only talk about the topic of ‘Duds’, so please give me some face.

As for other movies, from now on, I don’t want to hear anyone ask me what I think. If anyone disagrees with me, please turn around and leave. There may be someone else out there who can give you the answer. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone naturally knows who Chen Fei is talking about. It is nothing more than the conflict between "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University that has been hotly discussed in the entire entertainment industry in the past two days.

If any other director said this, the reporters on the scene would naturally ignore it and might even be even more outrageous!

But when facing Chen Fei, they didn't dare to talk back!
After all, when it comes to the voice in the entertainment industry, Chen Fei has no less influence than them.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if most of the media present at the scene were added together, their voice would not be as important as the one he holds!

So, after careful consideration, everyone naturally chose to obey.

"Director Chen, how much do you think this low-budget comedy movie will earn at the box office? Can it be comparable to the previous "Charlotte's Troubles"? "

"It is certainly far inferior to The Troubles of Charlotte, but it is still very hopeful to try to make it into the top three of the Chinese-language film box office rankings in November."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the scene!
The top three Chinese-language movies in November box office rankings? Isn’t that too much?!
You should know that among the currently known Chinese-language films that will be released in November, there are "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and "La La Land", two top blockbusters that have won major awards abroad, and there is also a very famous Sino-foreign co-production "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" directed by Li An.

And now, Chen Fei actually said that "Duds" can make it into the top three of the Chinese-language film box office rankings in November!

Doesn’t that mean that among the three movies, “I Am Not Fan Jinlian,” “La La Land,” and “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk,” the box office of one of them is going to be poor?

Thinking of this, the media reporters at the scene suddenly became excited!
"Duds", which cost only 1500 million to produce, is about to soar into the sky by taking advantage of the stepping stones forged by "blockbuster movies"?

This is quite a hot search!

If nothing unexpected happens, if this news is announced, it will inevitably trigger a wave of heated discussions within the circle.

Along with the reporters' excitement, the creators of "Duds" also became excited.

After all, up to now, any analysis of movie box office uttered by Chen Fei has never been wrong!

If this movie can really make it into the top three of the Chinese-language film box office rankings in November, then wouldn't these previously unknown actors become famous overnight?

After the premiere officially ended, Chen Fei did not attend the subsequent cocktail party, but hurriedly left the venue and drove straight to the People's Public Security University.

The previously scheduled assembly time was 1:30 p.m., and now everyone else was in place, leaving only him.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

There is still some distance from the premiere venue of "Duds" to the People's Public Security University. During the ride, Chen Fei almost subconsciously opened Weibo to see if there was any fresh "new gossip".

However, the next second after he opened his Weibo, he saw that there were new changes in the public opinion storm between the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University!
After being subjected to "network-wide blackmail" and "regional blackmail", the school and the local government finally could no longer sit still and issued statements one after another to explain the incident.

"The following is a brief account of the event on October 10th, when Fan Bingbing came to our school's concert hall to attend Feng Xiaogang's "Challenge of Comedy" humor seminar:

Feng Xiaogang's "Challenge of Comedy" humor seminar was organized by Yaolai Film and Television, Dongyang Mela, and its studio, and hosted by Capital Chendazhidian Media.

After receiving the application from the event organizer, the school Youth League Committee expressed its welcome for such cultural seminars to be held on campus, and welcomed cultural celebrities such as Feng Xiaogang, Liu Zhenyun, and Fang Fang to come to campus for exchanges.

It was agreed that the Youth League Committee of our school would only assist in organizing the student audience, and all other matters would be the responsibility of the organizer. The organizer also made it clear that Fan Bingbing would not participate in this event.

In view of this, this event is a campus cultural activity, not a large-scale mass activity, and therefore it was not reported to the public security authorities.

At 10:24 on October 18, the event was carried out as scheduled. Feng Xiaogang, Liu Zhenyun and Fang Fang attended the seminar. The host also explained that Fan Bingbing would not be present. The venue was in good order and the audience was enthusiastic and orderly.

However, at 20:50, during the seminar, Fan Bingbing unexpectedly appeared at the seminar!

To prevent the situation from getting out of control, and taking into account the safety of Fan Bingbing himself, guests, teachers and students, the Security Department and the school Youth League Committee staff tried their best to maintain order at the scene and asked the organizers to shorten Fan Bingbing's stay. They had no malicious intention of "driving him away".

But Director Feng Xiaogang suddenly lost control of his emotions, loudly scolded the Security Department and the Youth League Committee of the school, and demanded that Fan Bingbing leave immediately. He also immediately terminated the exchange activity. This behavior is really puzzling..."

Along with this announcement from East China Normal University, there was also a statement from the official Weibo account of "Safe Wuhan":

"This event is not a large-scale mass event and does not require approval from the public security authorities. Neither the police station nor the public security authorities have received any application from Central China Normal University, and the public security authorities have not participated in the security work of this event.

Therefore, the local government will not accept the accusations from Feng Xiaogang, the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and other unrelated personnel, and also hopes that the crew will not deliberately guide public opinion, make trouble out of nothing, and smear the local area..."

Along with these two statements, there are many objective descriptions from students who were present at the time:

"It was Feng Xiaogang who failed to communicate with the school in advance. He thought that he could surprise everyone by being mysterious, and at the same time hype up his movie and make money. He also thought that the school would definitely accept him after he acted like a big shot, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the school.

It's fine that you didn't admit your mistakes, but you also cursed the entire Hubei province for your own selfish desires. What a piece of shit! I will never spend money to watch your film! It's the Hubei people who insist on supporting it, I won't watch it! "

"Fuck it! University is a place to study for the rise of China. The crew should get out. I fully support the campus. Those who want to take this opportunity to ban Fan and Feng nationwide, please raise your hands. Traditional culture is almost blinded by these people."

"Your crew is feeling wronged. It's clearly your fault, but you are leading the public opinion to attack our East China Normal University and the entire Hubei Province? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"..."

After reading two official statements, as well as the support and testimony from many students, Chen Fei finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.

Generally speaking, Fan Bingbing was not going to attend the event at the beginning, so this film seminar was essentially a small event that did not require reporting and did not pose many safety risks.

But the fact is, Fan Bingbing actually showed up in the end and even wanted to enter!

East China Normal University did not allow her to come in because the nature of the event would change if she came in. The fan meeting would become a large-scale event with safety risks.

But at this time, a stupid teacher from East China Normal University secretly brought her in. The school was furious and worried about safety issues, so they forced her to leave.

However, on this basis, Feng Xiaogang and others began to lead the rhythm, guide public opinion, and instigate fans to engage in online violence in order to achieve the purpose of promoting the film.

The local people in Wuhan were completely unaware of the whole process!

So who is to blame for this?

First of all, the teacher who secretly brought Fan Bingbing in, regardless of the school's arrangements, must be one of the persons responsible.

But the real culprit is still Feng Xiaogang, who forcibly elevated a security issue, a communication issue, and a problem with his own actress to a regional issue, and used this as a groundless accusation. It is really disgusting!
And if nothing unexpected happens, these actions should be directed and performed by the crew or even Feng Xiaogang himself, with the purpose of hype to make the popularity of the movie soar, so as to empty the pockets of fans after the next movie is released.

Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help but sneered:
"Oh, Feng Gangpao, Feng Gangpao! You really did everything you could to complete the bet! You even resorted to such despicable tricks? You really spoil the whole pot of porridge with just one bad apple!"

The outside world's impression of the entertainment industry was not particularly good to begin with, and now with Feng Xiaogang's behavior, the reputation of the entire film and television industry is going to drop significantly.

It seems that "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" has gained attention, but it has indirectly harmed other movies!

Feng Xiaogang's behavior is simply disgusting and despicable!

At this time, at Wanda, Liu Xiaobin was so happy!
"Haha, Feng Xiaogang, you are awesome! I was originally thinking of a reason to stab you, but I didn't expect you to hand me the evidence yourself! Great, great! Haha!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Liu Xiaobin's laughter.

He put away his smile and shouted, "Come in!"

The next second, the secretary pushed the door open and walked in, holding a document from the group in his hand, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Boss Liu! The documents from the group have been approved."

"Oh?" Liu Xiaobin stood up suddenly and asked curiously, "Is it about the document about cutting "I Am Not Fan Jinlian"?"

"Yes!" said the secretary as he handed over the document.

Liu Xiaobin reached out to take it, then looked down impatiently.

The document clearly stated that the Wanda cinema chain would reduce the screening schedule of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" to 5% after the first day of its release, and would adjust it down day by day, without giving it any popularity at all...

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobin couldn't hide his excitement.

"Haha. Let's see how arrogant you can be this time!"

While he was talking to himself, he also reminded his secretary: "Go to the public relations department right now and tell them that I want all the public opinion on the Internet to be biased towards ECNU. I must make the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" be despised by everyone in a short period of time!"

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

The secretary responded and ran out quickly.

All Wanda employees have been holding a grudge during this period. Now that they have finally caught Huayi's handle, how could they let it go so easily?

"I Am Not Fan Jinlian" must be severely punished!

Only when Huayi is hurt, scared and frightened, can it be considered the beginning of revenge!
"Haha, let's wait and see, the best is yet to come."

Liu Xiaobin's eyes were gloomy and he was furious in his heart, as if he had already sentenced "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" to death.

Not only that, Huayi’s upcoming film “The Last Romance” is also among Wanda’s targets.

As for those actors who were affected by this, they can only consider themselves unlucky. Who made them choose to stand on Huayi's side?

At the same time, the arrogant Feng Xiaogang had no idea that he was about to face a disaster!
He was angry at the moment because his carefully designed "marketing plan" was destroyed.

"Immediately arrange for the Internet trolls to continue to lead the trend, deny the authenticity of the statement from ECNU, and guide public opinion to continue to stir up the heat for me, mainly around Fan Bingbing crying because he was driven away... Let them do whatever they want to be wronged. It would be best if the heat can be maintained until the day the movie is released, so that the box office will be stable!"

"Okay, Director Feng."

The head of Dongyang Mira's public relations department nodded in response, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

"You deserve to have vitiligo. People's hearts are evil. Isn't this retribution?"
