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

Chapter 970: 40 billion is just a small threshold? One bad apple spoils the whole barrel!

As a military-themed film that showcases the heroic deeds of the Chinese Marine Corps, "Operation Red Sea" has attracted much attention since its preparation.

It is no exaggeration to say that this film is not only a tribute to Chinese soldiers, but also a window to show China's military strength to the world.

Today, the crew held a press conference at the People's Public Security University, inviting not only many fans and media friends, but also leaders of many official departments such as Golden Shield, Navy, Ministry of Public Security, General Administration of Press, Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Chen Fei knew before he came that today was not just an ordinary press conference, but also an important opportunity to showcase the spirit of movies and the style of active military personnel to the future pillars of the country!

In order to welcome the arrival of the crew, the campus of the People's Public Security University was already filled with promotional posters of "Operation Red Sea", and the trailer of the movie was playing on the huge LED screen.

At this time, students were gathered in twos and threes, excitedly discussing the upcoming press conference.

~

Time quickly came to 2:30 in the afternoon. As the host finished his opening remarks, Chen Fei led all the members of the "Operation Red Sea" crew onto the stage and announced the official start of the press conference.

As the director, he first delivered a speech, and fondly recounted the creative background of "Operation Red Sea" and every detail of the filming process.

Afterwards, the crew members took the microphone and shared their interesting stories and feelings during the filming process.

Everyone's words were filled with love for movies and admiration for soldiers, which deeply moved the students from the Public Security University present.

As the press conference entered its climax, leaders from official departments such as the Golden Shield, the Navy, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Film, and the Central Propaganda Department took the stage to deliver speeches.

They spoke highly of the military spirit and national image displayed in Operation Red Sea, and expressed their heartfelt gratitude and high respect to Chen Fei and all the crew members.

Director Lin of the Navy Political Department said excitedly in his speech: "Operation Red Sea is not only an excellent film, but also a vivid patriotic education film; it allows us to see the bravery and fearlessness of Chinese soldiers, and also makes us more determined and confident to defend the country!"

The leader of the Ministry of Public Security emphasized: "This film not only shows the strong combat capability of the Marine Corps, but also reflects the important role of our public security organs in maintaining national security and social stability. We are proud to have such comrades!"

Leaders from the State Administration of Press, Publicity and Radio, Film and Television and the Central Propaganda Department also delivered passionate speeches, expressing their heartfelt pride in the influence of Operation Red Sea and looking forward to Chinese films continuing to carry forward their fine traditions and create more outstanding works.

Afterwards, the press conference entered the interactive session, where Chen Fei and the crew members had close contact and communication with the students on site.

Students asked questions one after another, expressing their love for the movie and their admiration for the soldiers.

Chen Fei and the crew members patiently answered every question... and won rounds of applause from the audience with their sincerity and enthusiasm.

At the same time, a VR battlefield experience area was set up at the press conference.

Students can wear VR glasses and experience the thrilling battle scenes in the movie. Through high-tech means, they can be placed in the battlefield and feel the bravery and fearlessness of the Chinese Marine Corps...

What was unexpected was that after the experience, a soldier who had just returned from military service excitedly walked up to Chen Fei and saluted him solemnly:

"Thank you, Director Chen! The theme movie you shot allowed me to see the bravery and fearlessness of our country's soldiers and police officers, and also made me more determined to serve the country and the people."

Although Chen Fei was a little confused, he still responded immediately.

He responded in the same serious tone: "It is you who have defended the dignity of the country and the peace of the people with your blood and lives, and we should thank you... At the same time, I also hope that this movie can make more people understand your efforts and support all your actions..."

I have to say that the students of the People's Public Security University are absolutely impeccable in terms of discipline!

There was no chaos at all, and every step of the event was in order, which really opened Chen Fei's eyes.

Two hours later, all the previously planned promotional activities officially came to an end, which also meant that the press conference had officially come to an end.

At this point, the group of entertainment media reporters present finally found an opportunity to ask Chen Fei questions!

"Director Chen, the mainstream commercial film Operation Mekong directed by you previously grossed 36.58 billion yuan at the box office and successfully won the No. 1 spot in the box office rankings of Chinese-language films.

Now, more than a year later, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" produced by your company has broken the box office record of "Operation Mekong" like a "rising star", and has continued to increase this number to 38.3 billion!
Now you have returned with the mainstream commercial film "Operation Red Sea". Do you have the confidence to take back the box office record from Director Ning Hao this time?"

As soon as this question was asked, the scene fell silent instantly!

Zhang Yi, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Jingyu, Zhang Hanyu and others who were standing next to Chen Fei all looked over with bright eyes and full of expectation.

Including Director Lin from the Navy, they were all looking at him expectantly.

"Snatch the box office record from Director Ning?" Chen Fei smiled and said frankly: "After all, the movie hasn't been released yet, so it's hard for me to predict the box office results.

What's more, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace" has not yet been released, who knows how much it will eventually take at the box office? But, there is one thing I can be sure of..."

As he spoke, Fade Chen suddenly paused for a moment, and then a strong sense of confidence suddenly appeared on his face!

"30 billion box office is just the starting point for Operation Red Sea, and 40 billion is just a small threshold. My goal is 45 billion! Or even 50 billion!"

"boom!!!"

The scene exploded in an instant, with cheers and applause ringing incessantly, and thunder roaring continuously!
"Haha, good, good, 40 billion is just a small threshold..." Director Lin from the Navy Political Department was almost smiling.

Jindun and several directors of the Ministry of Public Security rolled their eyes at him, but could not hide their envy.

As we all know, since Chen Fei dared to shout slogans, he must be confident in achieving this goal.

In other words, "Operation Red Sea" is likely to become the first domestic blockbuster to break the 40 billion box office!

As for "Kunlun Temple", its box office has dropped to 1035 million today, and is about to fall below the million mark.

Even if the key is extended for another month, it can only bring in more than 1 million box office at most. Although it is not far from 40 billion, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break this threshold.

After all, there are quite a few blockbusters released in November, and each one is a heavy blow to it!
The reporters in the audience were also very excited at this moment, and the flashlights of their cameras kept flashing "click, click", locking this "hot search point" in the memory cards in advance.

Then, the reporters on the scene asked more than 10 questions about the film's subsequent promotion, box office, and future goals and plans.

In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

When 5 o'clock comes, it means that today's activities are officially over.

However, just as the host raised the microphone and was about to read out the final closing remarks, a heavy-weight question suddenly rang through the audience!
"Director Chen, we happen to be at the Public Security University, which has the strictest discipline in the country... I wonder if you would be able to express your views on the chaos and public opinion caused by the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" when promoting the film at East China Normal University yesterday, and the adverse impact it has on the film and television industry and society?

If you don’t know the inside story yet, I have the details of the incident here, you can take a look first…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of many leaders in the front row suddenly became serious.

Especially the leaders of the public security system, their eyes already showed some anger!
The commotion caused by "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University this time is quite big, and because it also involves the factor of "regional discrimination", the public security system must be paying attention to it.

You don’t know until you investigate. Once you investigate, everyone will be a little angry!
It was clearly the crew's problem, and it would be fine if they didn't repent, but they actually led public opinion to cyber-bully the school. This behavior is simply too bad!
If some of the current laws and regulations were not imperfect, Feng Gangpao would probably have to stay in jail for a while.

After all, this is the People's Public Security University. When this kind of question was raised on the spot, Chen Fei naturally could not choose to remain indifferent like he did on the set of "Mr. Donkey Gets Water".

The high-spirited atmosphere that "Operation Red Sea" has worked so hard to create must not be polluted by the bad apples such as Feng Xiaogang, Huayi and "I Am Not Fan Jinlian"!
Moreover, he already knew the whole story, so he had many complaints about the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian". When he raised the microphone, everyone in the audience turned their eyes to him, waiting for him to express his opinion.

"In my opinion, as a practitioner in the film industry, we should always adhere to professional ethics and industry conduct, and constantly improve our professional quality and moral quality. At the same time, we should also pay more attention to social harmony and stability, and respect and abide by various laws, regulations and rules..."

He first stacked a bunch of buffs on himself, and then Chen Fei began to judge:

"The crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" ignored the school's regulations, brought people in through improper means, and did not report it. In my opinion, this is completely irresponsible behavior!

As practitioners in the film and television industry, we need to play a good leading role. We must guide fans to take the right path, abide by rules, regulations and discipline... instead of guiding public opinion, guiding cyber violence, and deliberately distorting the facts after we make mistakes and lose face!

Today I need to make a serious statement here that the behavior of the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" in the film and television industry is only a minority, not the case everywhere.

In my opinion, their actions are like a small rotten apple that has soiled the whole pot of porridge. I am ashamed of them!"

Chen Fei was not afraid of what he said today would have any impact on himself. After all, Feiyue Film and Television and Huayi had no contact with each other for a long time.

As for Feng Xiaogang, from the moment he guided public opinion to oppress East China Normal University in order to achieve his own selfish interests, it was destined that his heart was black.

There is no need to be polite to a guy who has already become evil-hearted!
"Clap clap clap!"

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

Thunderous applause rang out again!

The media reporters were excited to have another hot news to publish, the leaders were very satisfied with his remarks, and the students who hated evil cheered loudly.

Everyone at the scene was happy, so who would care about Feng Xiaogang's opinion?
However, just when Chen Fei thought that after his speech, today's publicity activities would officially come to an end, a leader of the public security department in the front row suddenly picked up the microphone.

“Let me add something here.

Everyone should remember! The Internet is not a lawless place, and freedom does not mean doing whatever you want!

Whether it is a public figure or an ordinary netizen, although they can freely express their own thoughts and opinions on the Internet, if they infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of others, cause adverse public opinion, or even publish false statements beyond the scope of the law, they will definitely bear the corresponding legal responsibilities! "

When the public security department leader said this, the media reporters at the scene were stunned at first, and then they immediately laughed at Feng Xiaogang in their hearts.

This time he failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice. After all these operations, he was eventually regarded as a "rotten apple" and a "negative example". How tragic!

At 6 o'clock sharp, all the crew members of "Operation Red Sea" left the People's Public Security University and headed for their respective destinations.

Zhou Xun originally wanted to run over to seek "revenge" from Chen Fei, but when she saw the leader of the Navy and Chen Fei getting in the same car, she didn't dare to get close and had to leave helplessly.

At 6:, just when Chen Fei and a group of leaders from the Navy Department had already had their meal, a new round of hot searches on the Internet had already been completed.

"This morning, the comedy film "Mr. Donkey" co-produced by Feiyue Films and Happy Twist held its premiere in Beijing.

Director Chen Fei made a bold statement at the premiere, saying that the film's box office performance will definitely be among the top three in the Chinese-language film box office rankings for November!

"The crew of 'I Am Not Fan Jinlian' issued another statement, saying that South China Normal University was too much of a bully and deliberately wronged Fan Bingbing..."

"The official account of ECNU has issued a solemn statement, refuting the remarks made by Feng Xiaogang and the crew of I Am Not Fan Jinlian, which are false and deliberately distort the facts, causing serious smear campaigns against the university and having an extremely bad impact. We implore the official authorities to intervene and investigate! Let's get to the truth of the matter!"

"This afternoon, the movie Operation Red Sea held a promotional event at the Beijing Public Security University. More than 2000 audiences, media and guests attended the event. Everything was in order and no disturbances occurred."

"Director Chen Fei once again made a bold statement, saying that 30 billion box office is just the starting point of Operation Red Sea, and 40 billion box office is just a small threshold. The real goal is 45 billion! Or even 50 billion!"

"Regarding the controversy between "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and ECNU, Director Chen Fei expressed his opinion: The crew's behavior is like a rat dropping that has soiled the whole pot of porridge, and they should be ashamed of it!"

"At the press conference for Operation Red Sea, a public security official said: The Internet is not a lawless place, and freedom does not mean you can do whatever you want! Please be careful with certain people or crew members..."

As media reports emerged in large numbers, those ECNU students who had been struggling online suddenly seemed to have found their backbone and launched a frantic counterattack against the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian"!
"It really has to be Director Chen. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. This metaphor is so vivid."

"Now that Director Chen has spoken out at the People's Public Security University and has received support from the government, I want to ask you, Feng Xiaogang, how can you continue to fight? Come on? If you have the guts, continue to confuse right and wrong!"

"Brothers, from now on, I have decided to boycott all works directed by Feng Xiaogang. What the hell is "I Am Not Pan Jinlian"? Can Pan Jinlian be a good thing? If we want to watch movies, we should watch "La La Land" and "Operation Red Sea"!"

"What the hell? Operation Red Sea is actually promising to make 40 billion? This wave has to be a big push."

"If anyone dares to manipulate public opinion again, I will report them! The Internet is not a lawless place!"

"Feng Xiaogang is not a good person. It's ok for him to be a Whisperer, but he always curses his mother when he picks up the bowl and scolds the cook when he puts down the bowl. He is really not a good person..."

……

Just one night later, the online trend and public opinion had completely changed.

Previously on Weibo, the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" created an appearance of being aggrieved, but as the truth came to light, netizens finally saw Feng Xiaogang's true face.

All of a sudden, a wave of abuse descended upon Feng Xiaogang and the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian".

Coupled with the official warning, Feng Xiaogang’s “steel cannon” was immediately silenced!

Liu Xiaobin is so happy here!

"Haha, Director Chen, I have great confidence that I can kill 'I Am Not Fan Jinlian' this time! This guy actually offended the college students who have the largest spending power. Don't you think he is courting death?"

"Mr. Liu, calm down. It's still a long time before the movie is released. Maybe something else will happen in the meantime."

"No! Absolutely not! This is a dead end! Not to mention Feng Xiaogang, even Huayi's fate is unsolvable. Unless they are willing to publicly apologize to ECNU and beg for forgiveness from the students, they will definitely be finished..."

However, at this moment, Fade Chen suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Liu bought the trending search?"

"Ahem." Liu Xiaobin explained a little embarrassedly, "Not much, just a little bit. If Director Chen minds, I'll ask them not to mention your name when they post it."

"That's fine." Chen Fei smiled and explained, "It's okay to bring up my name and topic. I'm a man who dares to take responsibility for my actions and I'm not afraid of offending Huayi.

But don’t bring up official topics. After all, Weibo has just been rectified and can’t withstand the turmoil from above.”

"Oh, okay, I understand!"

Liu Xiaobin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately contacted Wanda’s public relations department.

At this time, as the phone call was hung up, Chen Fei had already arrived at the door of the audition room for "Dying to Survive".

However, as soon as he pushed the door and walked in, he saw Wang Yong sitting there and laughing happily, but Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun on the other side both had dark faces and were glaring at Han Jianu in front of them!
I wonder what tricks this "little mountain eagle" has come up with this time?
