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

Chapter 981: Tik Tok begins to rise! The national teacher embraces the enlightenment of capital... Wanda! Revenge!

After a night, it was the morning of the 17th.

After getting up in the morning, on the way to the crew, Chen Fei saw a lot of new hot searches on Weibo.

"Regarding the cheating incident, sports star Lin Dan said: As a man, I will not make any more excuses for myself, but my behavior hurt my family, and I apologize to my family here."

"Hollywood's top actress Scarlett Johansson came to Shenzhen today to hold a fan meeting for the Huawei mobile phone she endorses, and revealed that Avengers 3: Infinity War is currently in preparation and is expected to start filming in the first half of next year."

"After joining the Douyin platform, Dilireba released her first 'Head Shaking Dance' video yesterday afternoon, which received 1072.1 million likes, 1.4 comments, 3.9 favorites, 20.4 reposts, and gained 1026 million followers!"

……

"Oh, this Scarlett, she talks so fast."

Seeing his Weibo comment section being surrounded by a large number of Marvel fans, Chen Fei couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

It has been a year and a half since the release of Avengers 2, but there has been no news about the third film, which makes many Marvel fans find it difficult to accept.

After all, in their opinion, such a blockbuster should be released once a year until it "dies"!
As for the "Marvel's ten-year plan", many people don't want to pay any attention to it at all.

Now, what domestic fans never expected is that the long-awaited "Avengers 3" finally has news!
Scarlett’s words “filming will start next year” completely blew up the domestic Marvel fan circle!
You know, she is the actress who plays "Black Widow" and is a true member of the main cast.

Well, how could the words coming out of her mouth be false?

As the director of the "Avengers" series, Chen Fei unsurprisingly became the target of "siege" by many fans.

"Director Chen, please give us a definite answer. When will the filming of Avengers 3 start?"

"Avengers 2 was about the Civil War, so when we get to Avengers 3, it should be about the Avengers gathering together, right?"

"I'm really looking forward to it! Will it be finished filming in the first half of next year and released in the second half?"

"Chen Fei! Can you hurry up? Why are you filming 'Dying to Survive'? Just go straight to 'Avengers 3'! I've been waiting so long that the flowers are almost withered."

"Also! When will the "Ready Player One" be released? I'm confused. You're taking too long. Can't you shoot two dramas at the same time?"

New messages kept popping up in the Weibo comment section, especially those messy private messages, which made the pop-up windows on mobile phones start to "ding ding dong dong" sound.

Helplessly, Chen Fei had to close the pop-up message prompt and temporarily handed the phone to his assistant for safekeeping.

"Hey? You want to watch Avengers 3 so badly? You want the Avengers to assemble? Great, it will start filming next year, and I will definitely satisfy your wishes. I just hope... you won't regret watching it then!"

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing when he thought that many people might cry because of the plot of "Avengers 3".

He is actually a director with a "bad taste", especially giving "surprises" to fans, which is his favorite thing to do.

As for whether movie fans will experience drastic emotional fluctuations because of this, that has nothing to do with him!

At the same time, as a new day of filming for "Dying to Survive" started, many people in the entertainment industry set their sights on Dilraba Dilmurat and the TikTok app.

Jiaxing Media, inside the chairman’s office.

"You mean, that Dilraba Dilmurat just posted a very simple 'head shaking dance' video and gained 1000 million followers?"

"Yes, Mr. Zeng." The director of Jiaxing Media's artist management department nodded and said, "Now many management companies and studios in the circle have noticed this. If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of stars should join Douyin in the near future."

Hearing this, Zeng Jia suddenly fell into deep thought.

She officially embarked on the path of artist management after joining Rong Xinda in 2000, so she naturally knows what it means to "gain tens of millions of fans in a day."

If these fans were converted into "money", it would definitely be an astronomical figure!

"Mr. Zeng, I went to learn about the Douyin app yesterday. This software is not simple!"

"Oh? Tell me about it? How is it so complicated?"

"According to what I have learned, Douyin was built with the support of Toutiao. The latter has been diverting traffic to the former. The latter currently has a high position in the industry. The daily active users of its entertainment news section are no less than those of the three major portals..."

"So what you mean?" Zeng Jia already had a vague guess.

“I suggest that we can have all the artists under our company reach cooperation with TikTok, join the platform, create new personalities, and embark on this new wave of traffic.

Douyin is coming on strong this time. It signed Dilraba Dilmurat right after it became popular. It is obvious that it is going to be big. If we can enter the market early, we may reap the benefits, just like Weibo today, becoming another new promotional platform..."

These words undoubtedly touched Zeng Jia's heart.

You know, the amount of publicity funds that companies invest in artists every year is an astronomical figure!
If you want to do anything on Weibo, you need a lot of money, and the starting price is at least 30 to 50.

And if this money is invested in other channels, perhaps it can create quite amazing results.

Thinking of this, Zeng Jia suddenly felt itchy: "You can go to Douyin to communicate first and see what conditions they can give us, especially in terms of traffic support. We must strive for the maximum benefit!"

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

The director of Jiaxing’s artist management department quickly left Zeng Jia’s office and went to communicate with the business department of Douyin.

Such situations are not only happening at Jiaxing. Other companies including Huayi, Chengtian, Rong Xinda, Tianyu Media, Mango, Taiyang Chuanhe, Hesong Media, Lehua Entertainment, and Times Junfeng all set their sights on Douyin almost at the same time.

For a moment, the pressure on Weibo doubled!

Seeing that TikTok is rising rapidly, Cao Guowei seems to have a feeling that someone is coming in to snatch the meat from him!

……

The morning time passed very quickly and was gone in the blink of an eye.

When it was afternoon, a notice from the Film Bureau instantly attracted the attention of countless people in the film and television industry.

"The costume, martial arts, and action-themed film script "Shadow" submitted by LeTV Pictures and written by Zhang Yimou has now officially passed the review. The crew can start filming with the filming license..."

When this notice appeared, the circle suddenly became lively.

Many actresses who have already submitted their resumes are eagerly waiting to be notified to go for auditions.

However, what many people don’t know is that the audition for Shadow began on the day the script was submitted for review.

Now, more than a week has passed, and some people have even received notifications on whether their audition was successful.

Take Zhang Ziyi for example.

She received the call within five minutes after the Film Bureau issued the announcement.

The person who called her was not Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Mo.

The second-generation director was not polite to her at all. After dialing the phone, he directly said, "Ms. Zhang Ziyi, I'm sorry, your audition did not pass."

When she got this result, Zhang Ziyi seemed to have another breakdown!
She especially wanted to ask Zhang Yimou what went wrong with her and why she was rejected after only one audition?

Unfortunately, however, she did not receive a reply from Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Mo ruthlessly dismissed her with the excuse that "Director Zhang is currently auditioning other roles".

While Zhang Ziyi was trying to calm down, in Zhang Yimou's studio, father and daughter had a brief conversation.

"Have you informed Zhang Ziyi?"

"Yes, I have told her."

"Make another phone call and tell Deng Chao and Sun Li that the leading male and female roles this time will be given to them." "Dad?"

"Needless to say, considering all factors, they are the most suitable couple."

Seeing that Zhang Yimou had made up his mind, Zhang Mo stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he turned around and walked into the next room and started making a phone call.

At this time, in the audition room, Zhang Yimou had already started calling out the next role to be auditioned.

"Let Guan Xiaotong come in."

"it is good."

The assistant casting director nodded and ran out to call for help.

During this period of waiting, Zhang Yimou's eyes suddenly fell on the resumes of Deng Chao and Sun Li who had already been confirmed.

"Are they the best actors who have auditioned?"

He asked himself this question in his heart, but the answer was "No"!
But even so, he still chose Deng Chao and Sun Li, two actors who were barely at the upper-middle level in this audition.

The reason is simple, because they are also victims of the LeTV stock price collapse, and in terms of film pay, they both asked for the least.

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

Of course, there is the most crucial point!
That is - the couple had secretly approached Zhang Yimou and offered him very generous conditions that he could hardly refuse.

However, he, who is affectionately called "National Master" by many fans, did not refuse because he has decided to officially embrace capital.

"Shadow" is just a beginning, it is his practice to embrace capital.

After this movie is finished and he completely separates from LeTV, he will use the fame he has accumulated over the past few decades to exchange for enough benefits for his "retirement" and "raising children"!

The door of the audition room was suddenly pushed open slowly, and Guan Xiaotong walked in behind the assistant director of the audition.

"Director Zhang;"

"Well, come on, you should already know what the audition is about, right?"

"Yeah, I know."

Guan Xiaotong nodded slightly, and started performing in front of the camera without waiting for Zhang Yimou to give any questions.

Compared to other auditioners, she had previously used her connections to find someone, so she obviously enjoyed "VIP"-like privileges.

And today she came to the audition scene just to go through the motions.

At the same time, in the waiting area outside the door, Liu Haocun's mother was comforting her softly: "Doudou, you don't have to be too sad. It's enough for us to come here just to get to know Director Zhang.

My family has already found the right connections for you. Although our asking price for "Shadow" is much lower than others, we have already booked Director Zhang's next movie in advance.

When the time comes, you will be the leading actress in a movie, the fifth generation of "Mou Girl", instead of just the second female lead like in "Shadow".

"Yeah, okay mom, I understand."

Liu Haocun, who had a bun on her head, responded softly, and the two small buns on the back of her head were swaying up and down. With her pure and flawless face, she looked quite harmless.

However, this harmless girl has a complicated mind.

After finishing the conversation with her mother, she raised her eyes to look at the other post-00 actresses who came to audition for the role of "Qing Ping" on both sides, and a hint of teasing gradually appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"My family has already prepared everything for me, what about yours?"

……

As the afternoon time passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, it was already 18 o'clock in the morning on the 12th.

Just as Chen Fei was hugging Liu Yifei in bed discussing the physiology of men and women, outside, "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" directed by Feng Xiaogang and starring Fan Bingbing was officially released.

Some commercial films will pay close attention to the box office in the early hours of the morning, because many young people still like to watch a movie late at night and then take their girlfriends to a hotel to "hang out" for a few hours.

However, this definitely does not include "I Am Not Fan Jinlian".

Because many people in China don't like the term "Fan Jinlian", and Feng Xiaogang's previous actions offended many college students, the movie's midnight box office was very poor.

When the sun was high in the sky and the box office results of the midnight show of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" came out, this fact was also verified.

However, along with the exposure of the movie’s midnight box office results, it also brought out an extremely “shocking” piece of news!

"The movie "I Am Not Fan Jinlian", produced by Huayi and Dongyang Meila Films, directed by Feng Xiaogang, written by Liu Zhenyun, and starring Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, and Dapeng, only grossed 131 million yuan during the midnight box office."

"According to the cinema chain, on the first day of the release of I Am Not Madame Bovary, the combined screening rate of major cinema chains across the country reached an astonishing 31.3%! Although the film is not classified as a traditional Lunar New Year movie, its first-day screening rate is enough to rival those highly anticipated Lunar New Year commercial blockbusters."

"An emergency! It is reported that an insider said that Huayi had previously expected the film's comprehensive screening rate to be 40% to 45%, but the current data is far from this number. It seems that there is a special situation..."

"The latest information: According to Maoyan data statistics, Wanda Cinema Line's more than 5 cinemas across the country only gave an extremely low screening rate of % on the first day of the release of "I Am Not Madame Bovary"! And the film's screening time is obviously contrary to the cinema's prime time..."

"Wanda! Huayi... The conflict between the two industry giants has completely intensified. The reason may be that at the beginning of the year, the latter used improper means to poach a large number of the former's cinema executives who had non-compete agreements..."

On the set of "Dying to Survive".

At this time, everyone in the entire crew was paying attention to the sudden situation between Huayi and Wanda that was exposed on Weibo.

Ren Zhonglun even called from Shanghai, and the first thing he said was, "Fade Chen, do you know something?"

"It's already been exposed by the media online. Can't Mr. Ren just take a look and find out? There's no need to waste phone bills to ask me, right?"

"Hey, you." Ren Zhonglun not only didn't hang up the phone, but also started to mutter: "I was wondering why this method is so familiar, isn't this your operation against Emperor Entertainment Group? Hey, Wanda actually learned it..."

In the next half hour, Chen Fei received calls from Wang Changtian, Liu Xiaobin, Gu Yongqiang, Huo Qigang and others.

Not surprisingly, the goals of several people were very clear.

"Should we at Pan Asia Cinema Chain cooperate with Wanda?" Huo Qigang looked like he was eager to watch the fun and was eager to help Wanda.

"Cooperation? No need." Chen Fei replied calmly: "We just need to look at the market. If the box office of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" is too bad, it naturally means that this movie is not a big hit. The theater chain just needs to make adjustments according to the regulations."

"Okay! I understand. It's according to the rules. I understand..."

Huo Qigang hung up the phone happily, and then gave instructions directly to the managers of major theaters in the group.

"Always pay attention to the box office of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian". If the box office on the first day is less than 1 million, we will directly cut half of the screenings. When it drops below 5000 million, we will cut it by half again. If it is less than 2000 million, we will directly reduce it to less than 10%, and give all the excess to "Mr. Donkey" and "Doctor Strange".

Then, after La La Land is officially released, the screening schedule of I Am Not Fan Jinlian will be directly cut to less than 5%, and the remaining amount will be given to Mr. Chen..."

Not long after the message was sent, a long list of “received” appeared below!
Seeing this, Huo Qigang smiled with satisfaction and turned off his phone.

At the same time, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was in Hong Kong, was looking at the news on the Internet and inexplicably felt a feeling of both fear and anticipation.

It is obvious that Huayi is now also experiencing the same suppression that Enlight Entertainment had encountered before!

He is now very much looking forward to the two brothers of the Wang family standing up and resisting, because as long as Huayi can successfully break Wanda’s control, it will give him hope!
By then, he could completely follow Huayi's example in resisting Wanda and protest against Pan Asia Cinemas.

"You must succeed! It's up to you now, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang... Come on! You must find a way out and guide me in the right direction!"
