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

Chapter 975: Lead your junior fellow student? LeTV suddenly explodes!
"Hey? Why did you get in at the wrong time again?"
As soon as he entered the venue, Chen Fei was caught red-handed by Ning Hao!
"There's a traffic jam on the road..." He gave a simple excuse and began to observe the entire venue under the pretext of chatting with Director Ning.
Looking around, we can see that many well-known directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, including Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, Gu Changwei, Jia Zhangke, Zhou Xingchi, Wang Jing, and Wong Kar-wai, are all present today!
It is obvious that everyone actually attaches great importance to Li An's Director and Master Forum.
The reason is actually very simple. It is mainly because when Li An was filming and promoting his "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", he had been promoting the "120-frame 4K, 3D projection mode".
According to him, the projection speed of 120 frames per second not only improves the clarity of the image, but also makes the audience feel more involved and immersed, and the audience will be more sensitive, real and clear in their acceptance and experience of the characters' emotions...
Based on this, many directors in the industry are very curious about the status of his new technology, so they were invited to come to the forum today.
"Fade Chen, Ning Hao."
A sudden call came from behind, which immediately attracted the attention of the two.
"Hey? Teacher Tian."
When he saw that the person coming was Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Fei immediately greeted him warmly.
Although he graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, he was also quite familiar with the Directing Department, and Tian Zhuangzhuang was equivalent to half of his teacher.
Before, when he was targeted by Lu Tailang's father and some old guys, Tian Zhuangzhuang had tipped him off and even spoke well of him.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is extremely good.
"Haha, I haven't seen you two for a long time. In the blink of an eye, you both became directors with a box office of 30 billion. This is really a surprise!"
Tian Zhuangzhuang is 64 years old this year and is the most experienced leader among the fifth generation of Chinese directors.
If he had not been affected by the "ban on directing" and become depressed for a long time, his current achievements would probably not be lower than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
Therefore, when he sees new-age commercial film directors such as Chen Fei and Ning Hao, he often expresses his sincere emotion.
"Chinese films are finally experiencing a period of rapid development. Unlike in the past, we were always controlled by others... Alas!"
After chatting for a while, Tian Zhuangzhuang asked curiously, "Where's Wang Shiliang? Didn't he come today?"
"No." Chen Fei shook his head and explained, "The post-production of Wolf Warrior 2, which he is directing, is in full swing. He really can't spare the time."
"Busy! Be busy! In the blink of an eye, the little guy who used to follow me has become a director with a box office of 30 billion, haha..."
Wang Shiliang was one of the first students to be admitted to the master's program in directing at the Beijing Film Academy, and his supervisor was Tian Zhuangzhuang.
After graduation, everyone else successfully entered the film and television industry through their own connections, but he was the only one who struggled to find a way out in vain and was almost reduced to shooting commercials.
If Tian Zhuangzhuang hadn't given him a helping hand and introduced him to Feiyue Films to work under Chen Fei, his final fate would probably have been to continue to spend his life in the advertising and MV circles.
Now, thanks to the "Detective Chinatown Detective" series of films, he has also entered the 30 billion box office director club.
Now, under the instruction of Chen Fei, he has directed the "Wolf Warrior 1 and 2" series of films. His future is limitless!
At this moment, Tian Zhuangzhuang suddenly waved towards a place not far away and called over a man in his 30s who was wearing round-frame glasses and had a slightly melancholy temperament.
"Come on, Xiao Wen, stop busying yourself. I'll introduce you to your two brothers."
After pulling the man to his side, Tian Zhuangzhuang first introduced his identity: "This is also one of my students. His name is Wen Muye. He was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy's Master of Directing Department a few years ago. I personally brought him up."
After introducing the man's identity, Tian Zhuangzhuang pointed at Chen Fei and Ning Hao and said in the direction of Wen Muye: "I don't need me to introduce the identities of these two people to you, right?"
“No, no!” Wen Muye waved his hands repeatedly and shouted excitedly, “Director Chen, Director Ning, I am a die-hard fan of both of you! I have watched all the movies you directed at least five times!”
As he spoke, he even spoke excitedly: "Director Ning's "Incense" gave me a lot of inspiration and taught me how to use realistic methods to criticize reality.
And Director Chen's "Buried" is the best horror masterpiece I have ever seen, directed and acted by a director! The constant suspense, rare performance style, unique perspective, superb shots, and detailed plot are simply amazing!
It’s no exaggeration to say that at that time, the horror and freshness of this movie were at their maximum…”
No matter when, praise is always the best way to build closer relationships.
Now, listening to Wen Muye's praise, Chen Fei and Ning Hao felt quite pleased.
"Junior brother, you have done quite a thorough study of our film styles, haha." Ning Hao smiled and patted his shoulder, feeling as if he had found a soulmate.
When he was filming "Incense", he suffered a lot and finally made the film a success.
Unfortunately, this movie did not bring him much profit and almost bankrupted him.
In the end, if Chen Fei hadn't helped him, he would probably have to shoot music videos and commercials to pay off his debts.
Therefore, the movie "Incense" has special meaning to him. Now when he hears the name, he feels nostalgic.
Chen Fei also added with a smile: "When I was filming "Buried", I encountered a lot of troubles..."
With Tian Zhuangzhuang as a link, the few of them communicated for a while.
Judging from Wen Muye's words, he is a student who has learned a lot from Tian Zhuangzhuang, and may make some achievements in this circle in the future.
"I'm taking this opportunity today to see if there's a suitable opportunity for him to help out..."
Hearing what Tian Zhuangzhuang said, Fade Chen and Ning Hao subconsciously looked at each other, and a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes.
As expected by the two, in order to give his students a good future, Tian Zhuangzhuang began to use his connections and personal relationships again!
"I don't have any projects at the moment, but Lost in Hong Kong is currently being filmed in Hong Kong. If Junior Brother Wen doesn't mind..."
Ning Hao was interrupted by Chen Fei just halfway through his words: "Forget it, Lost in Hong Kong is for Baoqiang to practice, let him follow his own ideas. If he goes to a professional director, it will only confuse him.
If you don't mind, Junior Brother Wen, I'm currently filming the movie "Dying to Survive" that I'm directing. You can come here and be my assistant director, and help me with Han Jianu."
As he spoke, Fade Chen felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.
It seems... we've gone back to the starting point?
He vaguely remembered that in the original time and space, Wen Muye participated in Ning Hao's "Bad Monkey 72 Transformations Director Plan" after graduating and leaving school, and then became the director of "Dying to Survive".
And now, he surprisingly came into contact with the God of Medicine again!
"I don't mind! I don't mind! How could I possibly mind!"
Even joining the crew of "Lost in Hong Kong" is a rare opportunity for Wen Muye. After all, he is just a director who has made micro-films. He has no outstanding achievements and his qualifications are almost non-existent.
And now, Chen Fei promoted him to the deputy director of "Dying to Survive", a top reality-themed film project, with just one sentence. For him, it was no less than "flying onto the tree and becoming a phoenix"!
The most important thing is that after becoming the deputy director of "Dying to Survive", he had the opportunity to learn from Chen Fei.
If we wait until the movie is finished, won't we be able to accumulate experience, connections, and resources smoothly?
When he thought of this, he couldn't hide his excitement!
"Please leave me your contact information. I'll send you the position tomorrow. You can go to the set and find me. By the way, I'll sign a contract as an assistant director..."
In just a few words, the matter was done. Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was watching this scene, was quite impressed.
Chen Fei really gave him the right kind of face, as he was immediately appointed as the deputy director of "Dying to Survive". This was something he never expected!
He must accept this favor today.
"Xiao Wen! When you go there, learn from Chen Fei. Watch more, listen more, talk less, and do more. This opportunity is so rare, you must cherish it!"
"Teacher, don't worry, I will never let you down!"
……
More than half an hour later, at the invitation of Li An, everyone who came to participate in the Director and Master Forum took their seats.
"Director Zhang, how are you these days?"
After sitting down, Fade Chen greeted Zhang Yimou on his right.
"Not bad, I've been busy promoting The Great Wall..."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
The two were chatting in low voices when Li An, on the stage, took the microphone and started talking about his movie.
“Since director Chen Fei made Inception, 3D movies have become popular again in Hollywood, and James Cameron’s subsequent Avatar has pushed 3D technology to another peak!
You may not know that now Hollywood directors call Chen Fei the 'Father of 3D Movies' whenever he mentions his name, while Cameron is just the continuation and pioneer of 3D movies..."
This sudden praise really made Chen Fei a little confused.
Aren't we here to discuss film technology today? How did the topic end up being about the "father of 3D movies"?
so?
What exactly does he want to express?
At this time, the other people present were also a little suspicious. After all, they came here today to discuss technology, not to listen to Li An praising Chen Fei.
But the next second, everyone heard Li An suddenly change the subject:
"I've watched a lot of movies by directors who are good at shooting 3D masterpieces, such as Chen Fei, James Cameron, and Steven Spielberg, and I've also tried to shoot this type of work myself, such as "Life of Pi".
Since then, I have started to do research... Fortunately, I got the support of Bona Yu Dong and filmed "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."
In the front row, Yu Dong had a huge smile on his face, he was so happy that he was almost bursting with joy.
“The entire film was shot with 120 frames of high-quality technology. I used Sony’s F65 4K camera, combined with ARRI/Zeiss’s Master Prime lens and Stereotec’s 3D shooting platform to successfully shoot this film.
Therefore, in my opinion, as long as we use the top-level 4K large screen, plus 3D and 120 frames, we can fully display the top-level picture level, which will make people immersed in it as soon as the opening scene begins..."
After finishing a long speech, Li An paused for a moment and looked towards the audience, obviously waiting for questions.
Chen Fei raised his hand and asked, "Director Li, have you ever thought about how many theaters in the country can support 3D, 4K, and 120-frame projection modes?
When I was shooting Inception, the reason why I was able to achieve profitability was because theaters began to update their 3D projection equipment on a large scale.”
When this question came out, Li An was silent for a while before continuing, "I have done research before. There are a total of 20 theaters in China that support this format, 11 of which are under the Pan Asia Cinema Line, and the other 9 are under Wanda, New Film Association, and Poly Bona.
Therefore, when scheduling the films later, I'd like to ask Director Chen for your help and try to allocate these theaters that support 120-frame playback to "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".
As for other cinemas, they can also use 60 frames, or at worst 24 frames, which can be used for playback.
After our event today, anyone interested can go to Polybona’s cinema to watch this movie..."
Chen Fei smiled but did not agree on the spot.
After all, cinema scheduling is based on comprehensive market considerations. If you want enough screenings, you have to see if the quality of the movies is high enough.
The discussion continued. As another fan of 3D movies, Xu Ke immediately raised the question of whether 120 frames of images could be accepted by the audience.
After all, if the resolution is too high, many people who are slightly prone to 3D dizziness may become dizzy after watching it for just a short while.
And those ordinary audiences may also become those who suffer from 3D sickness!
Li An explained: "You just need to get used to it. It's not a big deal. When 3D movies first came out, weren't there a lot of people who found it hard to accept? But later on, these people seemed to have disappeared, right?"
"I agree with Director Li's point of view!" Feng Xiaogang began to talk: "I Am Not Fan Jinlian is in CGS giant screen format. I think as long as the audience has enough appreciation ability and level, the format is not important. The key is that the picture is exquisite enough..."
Hearing this, Brother Chen Kai nodded slightly.
He also agrees with this view.
However, Chen Fei laughed when he heard it.
This Feng Gangpao keeps saying that he is close to the people and down to earth, but what he says and does is completely contrary to that.
What the hell is it to expect the audience to have a sufficient level of appreciation?
Shouldn't the director cater to the market and try to make the story interesting and easy to understand?
He curled his lips and subconsciously took out his cell phone to check the time.
The crew of "Dying to Survive" only had half a day off in the morning, and he had to rush back as soon as possible in the afternoon. As for movie-watching activities, he would not join in the fun.
It’s not like he hadn’t seen it before in his previous life, and it almost made him vomit…
However, just as he took out his cell phone, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhang Yimou next to him was talking on the phone quietly, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly!
"What's going on?" Seeing Zhang Yimou looking uneasy, the first thought that popped into Chen Fei's mind was that something had happened!
So after glancing at the time, he calmly opened Weibo.
as predicted!
Looking around, it seems that Weibo is now full of reports about the results of the China Securities Regulatory Commission's investigation into LeTV.
"After investigation, LeTV was confirmed to have committed serious financial fraud for ten consecutive years from 2007 to 2016. Its IPO-related documents and annual reports from 2010 to 2016 contained false records... This behavior seriously violated the relevant provisions of the Securities Law!"
"It is reported that LeTV's non-public offering of shares in 2016 constituted fraudulent issuance and failed to disclose related transactions in accordance with regulations..."
"After investigation, LeTV went public in 2010. In addition to using its own funds to circulate and collude to "move accounts" to fabricate business income, it also continued to inflate performance by forging contracts, not actually executing framework contracts or unilaterally confirming swap contracts!"
"During the initial offering phase, LeTV inflated its performance by fabricating businesses and falsely collecting payments in order to meet the listing conditions, and continued to do so even after the listing. This behavior is extremely bad!"
"LeTV's then-chairman Jia Yueting was fully responsible for LeTV's work, organized, made decisions, and directed LeTV and related personnel to participate in fraud, failed to perform his duties diligently, and signed the relevant issuance documents and periodic reports and guaranteed that the disclosed information was true, accurate, and complete;
Yang Lijie, the then financial director, directly organized and implemented the financial fraud, failed to perform his duties diligently, and signed the relevant issuance documents and periodic reports and guaranteed that the disclosed information was true, accurate and complete.
The above two persons used particularly bad means such as concealing and fabricating important facts in the financial fraud. The amount of fraud was huge and the duration was long. They played a role in organization, planning, leadership and implementation. The illegal circumstances were particularly serious. They were the directly responsible supervisors..."
Looking around, the internet is in an uproar right now!
Financial fraud, stock market fraud, asset transfer, false records, major omissions, fraudulent issuance, undisclosed external guarantees...
Before this, Chen Fei already knew that the problems of LeTV were definitely not small, but now he found that it was no longer just a simple problem, but a big hole, a big sinkhole!
If you want to fill this hole, let alone Boss Jia, even if you fill it with the entire LeTV, it won’t be enough!
It's no wonder that Zhang Yimou's face suddenly changed after he answered the phone. After all, his entire fortune is invested in the LeTV stock market.
Now LeEco has suddenly collapsed. If nothing unexpected happens, all his investment will probably go down the drain!
