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

Chapter 976: Lao Mouzi's sunk costs and his way to save himself! All the great directors are full of social skills...

At noon, Li An’s Director and Master Forum officially came to an end.

Many people expressed their willingness to accept the invitation to attend the preview of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" in the afternoon to see what this masterpiece has to offer.

However, some people chose to say goodbye to him.

"Director Li, I won't be attending the preview this afternoon. I still have filming work for 'Dying to Survive' waiting for me to arrange."

"Is that so? Fine, then you can go ahead and do your work. It won't be too late to watch the movie after it's officially released."

"Okay, Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely go and support you if I have time..."

After saying hello, Fade Chen walked out of the venue alone.

Ning Hao did not leave with him, because Director Ning was just bored at the moment and could join the group in the fun.

However, just as Chen Fei walked out of the venue, the reporters who were blocking the door suddenly swarmed in!

"Director Chen, have you received the news? LeTV has committed financial fraud and the stock market has collapsed..."

"What do you think about the fact that all the star shareholders' stocks are locked up?"

"Does Feiyue Films have any plans to go public in the future? If LeTV plans to sell copyrights in the future, will Feiyue Films buy them, just like Pony.com did in the past..."

A large number of questions came to him, like countless mosquitoes constantly lingering, echoing, and circling in his ears...

"Sorry, I haven't received any relevant information yet... I have no comment!"

After a lot of effort, Chen Fei finally managed to break out of the circle of reporters.

Just as he got into the car, he could see through the window that Zhang Yimou, Zhang Mo and his daughter, as well as Guo Jingming and others were surrounded by reporters.

As celebrity shareholders of LeTV, compared to Chen Fei, a passerby, they are the real parties involved and victims!
Looking through the gap in the crowd, at Zhang Yimou's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Fade Chen sighed helplessly.

In the first half of his life, he was cheated by Zhang Weiping, and in the second half, he was cheated of all his wealth by LeTV.com. It seems that Lao Mouzi has no luck with money in this life? !
……

In a blink of an eye, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Fei has already started filming "Dying to Survive" again, and the situation on the Internet is even more chaotic!
The "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" director and master forum event, LeTV's sudden bankruptcy, celebrity shareholders and stockholders are panicking...

Looking around, today's Weibo and major film and television portals, including the entire entertainment industry, film and television industry, and even the financial industry, are all in a mess!

After returning to the studio, Zhang Yimou began to inquire about the news everywhere.

When he heard that LeTV was likely to face a suspension of trading as a penalty from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, he was completely devastated!
Because once LeTV is really suspended, it means that all the LeTV shares he holds will become pieces of waste paper and will be completely useless.

When he thought of this, he felt uncontrollably broken!
You know, that's all his wealth!

Once all this goes down the drain, his life will be completely over!

"Boss Zhang! Now that things have developed to this point, shouldn't you give me an explanation? How long are you going to lie to me?

Is this what you guys at LeEco have been promising me? I want to know, apart from the listing license, what else is real about LeEco? "

After finally getting through to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Yimou couldn't bear it any longer and directly asked him an extremely soul-searching question!

After all, it was under Zhang Zhao's guidance that he stepped into this abyss step by step.

As for Boss Jia, he has nothing to do with him because he is still a contracted co-director of LeTV Pictures and is not under the jurisdiction of Boss Jia.

On the other side of the phone, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this.

He knew in his heart that Zhang Yimou and even all the star shareholders had extremely high expectations for LeTV, but the recent turmoil at LeTV had indeed caused many people to have doubts.

He tried to calm himself down and responded in a firmer tone: "Director Zhang, I understand your concerns and confusion, but please believe that LeTV has not reached its end.

Because we still have strong resources and strength to support the maintenance and progress of your "Shadow" and other important projects. We are not at the end of our rope yet..."

Zhang Yimou sneered after hearing this, his tone full of dissatisfaction and sarcasm: "Shadow? You are still thinking about Shadow? At this time, LeTV still wants me to continue working?"

The company is about to suspend trading, and the next step is bankruptcy liquidation.

In this situation, who the hell would have the mood to work?

Zhang Zhao frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that he must now come up with more convincing evidence to appease Zhang Yimou, otherwise the "Shadow" project would never be launched.

After thinking for a moment, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Director Zhang, I transferred the investment for Shadow to your account last month, and the contract has been signed. You can't openly breach the contract, right?

As for the problems at LeTV, those are matters within the group and that Mr. Jia needs to be responsible for. I believe they will resolve them as soon as possible.

To be honest, Mr. Jia has already gone abroad and started to introduce external capital. He is also actively dealing with various official issues...

Besides, his wife is Gan Wei, and you should know the identity of his father-in-law, right? Will the old man just sit back and do nothing?
So, as a director, you just need to focus on making the movie. As for the rest, we will take care of it for you, and you don’t have to worry about it too much.”

After hearing what Zhang Zhao said, a hint of hesitation flashed in Zhang Yimou's eyes.

He knows very well that in this industry, cooperation between directors and investors is crucial!

Although he is very dissatisfied with the current situation of LeTV, he has to admit that LeTV's advantages in resources and channels are difficult to match by other companies.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll believe you again!"

The sunk costs he invested in LeTV were too great, so even though there was still a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt in his tone, he had no choice but to continue cooperating with LeTV.

"I have prepared the script for Shadow and will submit it for review tomorrow. But I want to remind you that if LeTV goes awry again, Shadow will be the last project we work on together!"

"Director Zhang, don't worry." Zhang Zhao said cheerfully, "We will definitely go all out to ensure that Shadow and your daughter's 28-Year-Old Minor can proceed smoothly..."

After chatting for a while about the post-production arrangements of the "Shadow" project, the two officially ended the announcement.

However, even with Zhang Zhao's assurance, Zhang Yimou did not completely trust him!
The fluctuations of LeTV are too huge, and he really doesn't dare to bet on how the company will develop in the future.

Because according to the investigation reports disclosed by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, this company is just a shell and has no heavy assets at all.

Although those copyrights can be considered part of the assets, how much are they worth?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou quickly took out his cell phone and called his assistant: "Go there in person and deliver the script of Shadow to the General Administration.

Then we immediately contacted photographer Zhao Xiaoding, art director Ding Li, action director Feng Weilun, art director Ma Guangrong, costume designer Chen Minzheng, stand-in, prop master, martial arts actor, assistant casting director, and stage manager.

Tell them that I want to set up the team in the shortest possible time, complete the casting, and shoot the film..."

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

After finishing the call with his assistant, he immediately called his daughter Zhang Mo.

"Xiaomo, you have to urge LeTV to do a good job of promoting "28-Year-Old Minor" and ask for their share of the profits as soon as the movie is released. You have to do it quickly!"

"dad……"

"No need to say more, just be fully prepared. You are still young, and I am not too old to be able to make movies. Even if we are really stuck, we still have a chance to make a comeback!"

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

After Zhang Mo responded, he immediately contacted Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua, Ma Su and others after hanging up the phone, and arranged a large number of publicity plans again, and the work intensity was immediately maxed out!
At the same time, just as Zhang Yimou and his daughter started to take action, other star shareholders of LeTV also began to make moves.

"Xiao Ming, what should I do with my stocks? If LeTV is really suspended from trading, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to complete my bet!" Looking at Yang Ying with a big belly and a face full of worry, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If I had known this, why did I have to?

He clearly remembered that he had advised Yang Ying many times, but Yang Ying refused to listen and insisted on investing in LeTV.

Now, all the money I got from Huayi for the bet has been invested, and it looks like I’m about to lose it all!

"Alas." Shaking his head helplessly, he could only continue to comfort her: "Don't worry about this matter for now, just stay at home and take care of the baby. I will find a way."

"What can you do?"

"Don't worry about it. If you can't withdraw, I can help you find a way to make up for the loss..."

"Well... well, thank you for your hard work!"

"Well, that's it. I'm going to go out and do my work. You stay at home and don't run around. Be careful not to get photographed by the paparazzi."

After giving the instructions, Huang Xiaoming hurried out the door.

His first priority now is to find out whether LeTV will be suspended from trading.
It would be fine if the trading was not suspended, but if it was suspended, it would be a big trouble!
……

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

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.

The crew of "Dying to Survive" was busy filming, but suddenly an "uninvited guest" arrived outside the studio!
Looking at Ning Hao, whose face was pale and who was still swaying while walking, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Didn't you go to the preview of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk? Why do you feel so drained? Did you get a massage halfway through?"

"What the hell!"

Ning Hao rubbed his brows, his words filled with pain: "Fuck, if I had known it would be so painful, I would not have watched this movie.

The 120-frame image was too exaggerated. I wasn't sitting very close to the front, but I still felt uncomfortable. The people next to me kept taking off their glasses and rubbing their eyes...

I have to say that the movie picture and clarity are really awesome and high definition, but it is not good if the colors are too realistic and too clear. It is really tiring to watch, and the picture feels particularly distorted, just like looking at sample films of various large TVs for color testing in a TV store.

Moreover, in order to pursue the best camera effects, Li An basically has people facing the speaking character from the first person perspective. The transition is very abrupt and very painful to watch.

Most importantly, the story is bland as a whole, without any climax or highlights, and it really can't capture the appeal. Even the lines have an overly immature feeling, and it feels very boring..."

Listening to Ning Hao's complaints, Chen Fei quietly took out his phone, opened Weibo, and found many media and filmmakers' reviews of this masterpiece.

Feng Xiaogang: "Today I watched the 120-frame version of the movie Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. It felt very layered and realistic, and the colors were very vivid. It was like being there in person. It was definitely a strong visual shock!"

Chen Kaige: "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" uses the eyes of eight American soldiers to see an olive battlefield that is more complex and terrifying than their own battlefield, full of conflicts of interest and chaos...

But in a real battlefield, the soldiers’ ideas and goals are simple, and their goals and tasks are exactly the same. They are united, passionate, and willing to sacrifice themselves for the victory of the war in exchange for the success of their comrades. Isn’t this the team spirit and consciousness that we have lost among humans for a long time?

After seeing the fickleness of human relationships and conflicts of interest in the world, I can't help but smile when I look back. It's not as real and exciting as the battlefield..."

Wang Jing: "Full marks! A masterpiece with super full marks! In this film, I can see the inheritance of Li Anshi. The film has two different results for the same thing and many scenes are portrayed, and you can see the shadow of "Life of Pi".

The title of the film is a double entendre. “Halftime” refers to the fact that the halftime show is like a war for the protagonist in reality, and also refers to the protagonist’s wandering heart, uncertain about whether to return to Iraq. The expression is clever and memorable…”

When Chen Fei showed Ning Hao the reviews these people posted online, Director Ning was stunned on the spot!

"What the hell? This guy is just exaggerating. Feng Xiaogang vomited right after leaving the theater, which is even worse than my current state. Chen Kai even fell asleep during the movie, and Wang Jing was playing with his phone the whole time..."

"Hmm?" Fade Chen shrugged. "This is called social etiquette."

"Fuck, they all pretend to be so righteous, it's really disgusting!"

Director Ning complained indignantly that it was absolutely impossible for him to brag like that on Weibo.

It's being praised so highly now, but if the audience finds out that the movie is not like that after it is released, won't it be scolded to death?

"Do you think these guys are worried about being scolded? They're used to it."

Chen Fei put away his phone, and while speaking, he pulled out the storage disk and put it into the safe beside him.

Today's filming has officially come to an end. All I have to do now is send the storage disk back to the company and then I can go home and rest.

But at this moment, Ning Hao suddenly came over and said, "Hey! Can you do me a favor?"

"Help? What help?" Fade Chen looked at him curiously.

Ning Hao scratched his head, pointed at his face and said embarrassedly: "I will definitely be suspected when I go back in this state. I will tell my family later that I want to go to your place tonight to discuss the script, and then you can take me in for one night, okay?"

In this state, if he continues to pay his dues after returning, he will die on the bed on the spot if nothing unexpected happens!

Chen Fei immediately laughed out loud: "Haha, okay, then make a phone call and ask your husband to pardon you for one night, hahahahaha!"

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already the 7th.

I have to say, Hollywood imported blockbusters are awesome!
Three days after the release of "Doctor Strange", the total box office has exceeded 3 million RMB, and is about to break 4 million. This is simply too exaggerated!

At the same time, what many people in the industry did not expect was that the low-budget comedy film "Duds" actually ranked No. 9 in the November box office rankings with a box office of 2.32 million in 11 days.

If it works harder, maybe it can really make it into the top three of the November box office rankings. After all, the reputation and quality of this movie are really good!
For a while, the value of Chen Fei's words continued to soar...

~

Wen Muye's arrival was welcomed by the entire crew of "Dying to Survive".

Especially Han Jianuo, she was so happy!

"Hey, here comes another bull horse? I can finally relax a little, haha."

However, before she could be happy for too long, Han Sanping gave her a new task: "Since Director Xiaowen has taken over part of your work, then you will be responsible for the third shot.

As a good director, you not only need to be able to direct, but also to be able to shoot, so some simple shots are given to you."

"Ah?!" Han Jianu was confused, "Dad? You want me to hold the camera?"

"Hmm? What? Can't I do that?"

"..."

After all, old ginger is more spicy. Faced with the strong oppression of the old "Zuoshan Diao", the young "Zuoshan Diao" has no choice but to obey.

Chen Fei was watching the excitement from the side, and he did not forget to call Ning Hao: "Director Ning, come on, it's your turn next. Hurry up and put on your makeup, and prepare to guest play the landlord..."

"Oh! Here we come!"

Ning Hao responded, took out the big gold chain he had prepared long ago, put it around his neck, and ran straight to the dressing room.

He doesn't look like a good guy to begin with, but when he puts on a big gold chain and some fierce makeup, his ruffian-like attitude and aura instantly become more pronounced!
