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

Chapter 993 The bet is about to begin...This movie should not be called "The Great Wall"!
On the morning of the 7th, the news that the daily box office of "Operation Red Sea" finally fell below the 3 million mark was high on the hot search list, attracting the attention and joy of many people in the industry.

However, the daily additional box office of 2.66 million and the total box office exceeding 5 billion in 17 days of release still make many people hate it!
“I wish The Great Wall could achieve such high results.”

At the premiere of "The Great Wall" at the Great Hall of the People, La Peikang secretly sighed in his heart.

But the next second, his fantasy was shattered by Ren Zhonglun's sarcastic voice: "Hey? Chairman Lada is in such a refined mood that he actually came to the door to greet guests in person?"

"Hurry up and go inside. I don't have time to deal with you today."

La Peikang waved his hands at Ren Zhonglun irritably, signaling him to stop hanging around in front of him. There were many foreign guests from Hollywood coming today, and he mainly had to greet them.

"Oh, La Peikang, I advise you to be careful these two days. Don't get beaten up without knowing who beat you up."

As soon as these words came out, La Peikang's face suddenly turned dark.

He naturally knew what Ren Zhonglun meant by this, because the General Administration called him this morning and said that they had received many letters reporting him.

But what can he do?
Wasn’t it because Hollywood reported him to the WTO for his poor film scheduling that Han Sanping was forced out of his position as chairman of China Film Corporation?

If I continue to behave like "Zuoshan Diao", it will be a miracle if I can keep my position!

"Go away, just focus on your Railroad Tigers. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

The two exchanged a few words and finally parted unhappily.

The time soon came to 9 o'clock, and the outside of the Great Hall was already plunged into a sea of ​​​​bustle and excitement.

Compared with "Operation Red Sea", "The Great Wall" is a real commercial blockbuster and does not have any mainstream theme.

Based on this, the commercial atmosphere of this movie's premiere was much stronger than that of "Operation Red Sea".

Looking around, the entire exterior of the conference hall is decorated very gorgeously, with various posters, slogans, props, etc. intertwined together, creating a visual effect that is very amazing!

On the red carpet, the stars, dressed in gorgeous dresses or formal suits, walked confidently with smiles on their faces, interacted with the media and fans, and took photos.

Among them, director Zhang Yimou appeared with his wife and children, showing the warmth and harmony of the family.

Leading actors such as Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and others were also present, making the atmosphere as turbulent as a heat wave.

"Hey, Chen Fei, look, Brother Chen Kai actually brought Chen Hong and that Chen Feiyu with him!"

In the back seat of the Maybach, Liu Yifei pointed out the window and shouted in surprise.

When the media went to interview the crew of "Legend of the Demon Cat" some time ago, Brother Chen Kai said that he might not have time to attend the premiere of "The Great Wall" because his own movie was about to be completed.

But unexpectedly, he came back from another place specially today!
This is exactly what surprised Liu Yifei. After all, she often heard Chen Fei talk about the conflicts and disputes between these two "great directors".

Ever since losing the title of "National Master" at the 08 Olympics, Chen Kai has disliked Zhang Yimou very much, and the two rarely communicate when they meet in public.

And since then, both sides have been avoiding attending each other's "highlight moments"!
For example, when "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" held its premiere, Zhang Yimou did not attend, but went abroad to work on his "The Great Wall".

Unexpectedly, Brother Chen Kai actually came back today!
You know, today is Zhang Yimou's highlight moment. With an investment of 1.5 million US dollars, or nearly 10 billion RMB, this movie is apparently the most expensive movie Zhang Yimou has ever made in his many years of career.

"Obviously he came here for his little son."

Chen Fei saw it very clearly. After all, there were many big names and celebrities coming to the scene today. It was a good opportunity for socializing. How could Chen Feiyu miss it?
In comparison, Chen Hong’s appearance is naturally not as effective as Brother Chen Kai’s personal appearance to win over connections.

"How pitiful are the loving hearts of parents in this world!" Liu Yifei murmured with emotion, and suddenly recalled the scene in her mind where her mother took her to ask for a role.

After a few minutes, when Brother Chen Kai and his family left the red carpet, Chen Fei led Liu Yifei out of the car.

As soon as the two people who looked like a golden boy and a jade girl appeared, they immediately caused extremely sensational cheers and howls from both sides of the red carpet. The enthusiasm was even higher than that of the main creative team of "The Great Wall" today!

"Humph, let me see how long you can keep showing off. Jiang Lang will eventually run out of talent..."

In a business car following the Maybach, Feng Xiaogang was muttering and cursing, swearing and complaining.

This scene caused Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun and Ye Ning who were sitting in the car to frown immediately.

They really couldn't understand what Feng Xiaogang was thinking.

He has achieved such great success at such a young age and has also built a huge business empire. Even if he announces his retirement now, he will still be better off than you.

In this case, how can you be so arrogant?

The two Wang brothers were so confused that they even began to doubt whether Feng Xiaogang had damaged his brain when he licked Wang Shuo.
"Why don't you take him to see a psychiatrist some time?"

At the same time, in a Cadillac sedan behind the business car, Zhang Zhao's eyes also fell on Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.

After staring blankly for a while, he turned to his secretary and asked, "How is the post-production of Eternal Love going?"

The secretary blurted out: "The drama version has reached a broadcast agreement with Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV. Recently, Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, Gao Weiguang, Huang Mengying and others have begun to follow up on the relevant publicity work."

“When is the exact broadcast time?”

"The 30th of next month, the third day of the Chinese New Year."

“It hasn’t been announced yet, has it?”

"The planned announcement time is tomorrow morning."

“Okay!” Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and said slowly, “If nothing unexpected happens, Feiyue Film and Television will definitely announce the broadcast date of “Princess Agents” as soon as we announce it. We must keep a close eye on the ratings and click-through rate data… We must not lose!”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will notify the publicity department as soon as possible."

The secretary was very clear about the "verbal bet agreement" between Chen Fei and Zhang Zhao. He knew that Alibaba Pictures must not lose this time, otherwise it would be in big trouble!

But then again, how easy is it to beat Feiyue Films and "Princess Agents"?
After all, in comparison, Zhao Liying's popularity and status have long surpassed Yang Mi.

They only shoot and produce high-quality products, but Yang Mi is too crazy and works too hard. She doesn't pick between good and bad and doesn't care about anything except money. If this continues, she will eventually fail!

……

After entering the venue, Liu Yifei immediately let go of the hand that was holding Chen Fei's arm, left him with a sentence "I'm going to find Tiantian", and then abandoned him.

Of course, he wouldn't be lonely, after all, there were so many familiar people coming today!

"Fei, I'm here..."

From a distance, Matt Damon started shouting and ran straight towards Chen Fei, attracting the attention and envy of many people present.

The two of them gave each other a bear hug and then started exchanging pleasantries.

"Fei, the next Oscars will be held on February 2th. Will you attend? Leonardo said he wants to play the 'voting game' with you."

Chen Fei calculated the time and responded with a smile: "If there is nothing else going on in China, I will probably go there. We can wait until the next Oscars to play the 'voting game'."

"Oh, well, let me wish your Ready Player One a big hit at the box office next year, haha."

"Haha, you still have to run the promotion with me when the time comes, don't even think about being lazy."

There were many people around who were paying attention to the conversation between the two. When they heard them talking about the movie "Ready Player One", they were suddenly shocked!
The "Ready Player One" which took more than a year to produce will be released next year?
"Don't worry, how could I be lazy? The one you should be most wary of is Leon. After he got the golden statue, he completely laid back and stopped taking any roles..."

"That guy is really about to be ruined. If I had known this would happen, I would not have helped him win the Best Actor award..." More than half an hour passed quietly in the sound of socializing and chatting. When the host shouted on the stage and invited everyone to take their seats, it meant that the premiere of "The Great Wall" officially kicked off.

Chen Fei found Liu Yifei who was talking to Jing Tian, ​​and walked to the front row with her.

"Huh? Where's Mr. Lu? Why didn't I see him today?"

"Wanda is holding its year-end meeting. Uncle Lu went there and didn't come today."

After a brief explanation, Jing Tian followed Zhang Yimou and the others onto the stage.

However, at this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Tiantian just told me that she is going to prepare to open a studio."

"Opening a studio?" Chen Fei was slightly stunned: "Isn't she in a cooperative relationship with Xingguang Canlan?"

"I don't know much either. She just told me that she would work alone from now on."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at their seats.

What’s interesting is that their next door neighbors are actually Chen Kai’s family.

Old Chen was still acting politely. After looking at Chen Fei, he just nodded indifferently, with a very proper attitude.

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

Instead, Chen Hong started chatting with Liu Yifei with a smile, trying her best to get closer to them.

However, his son seemed a little too dull. He just sat in his seat and stared blankly at the stage. He was like a copy of Brother Chen Kai.

Turning around to look at Han Jianu and Zhang Mo, the two were chatting enthusiastically and greeting everyone around them warmly. They were more awesome than the other!
~

A few minutes later, under the guidance of the host, Zhang Yimou and the crew of "The Great Wall" began to speak on the stage:
“First of all, I would like to thank all my colleagues in the industry for coming to support me today. To be honest, I am actually a little nervous today. After all, The Great Wall is my first fantasy special effects blockbuster in my decades of acting career, and it is also a co-production with Chinese elements.

The producer, Legendary Pictures, has been preparing for this project for seven years. I am very grateful that they finally chose me to direct it. Really, I feel extremely proud and excited..."

After Lao Mouzi finished speaking, at the host's invitation, La Peikang, a prominent company that many of his peers in the industry were furious about, actually stood on the stage and gave a speech:
“The story of The Great Wall abandons the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. Under the guidance of Hollywood narrative rules, it tries to influence the narrative through Chinese elements as much as possible, and uses “trust” as a foothold to seek the recognition of Chinese and Western values. To a certain extent, it attempts to connect Chinese collectivist aesthetics with Western individualistic values.

The film carries the significance of Chinese films exploring overseas markets and spreading culture, and is a bold attempt for Chinese films to "go global"..."

As Chairman Lada finished his speech, a group of core creators took over the topic one by one.

Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu and others expressed their feelings during the filming of the movie, and those popular actors who were stuffed in by capital also successfully obtained the qualification to "appear".

Lu Han, Wang Junkai, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin, Chen Xuedong, Liu Enjia...

Chen Fei couldn't even imagine how painful it must have been for Zhang Yimou when he was acting with these people during the filming!

After all, what kind of acting skills do they have?
The speech lasted until 10 o'clock, and then the movie started.

When preparing to put on the 3D glasses, Chen Fei glanced at Zhang Qi, the chairman of LeTV Pictures, who was sitting in the corner, and felt inexplicably emotional.

When people are in power, they enjoy unlimited glory.

But now that he has fallen from power, he has become the object of hatred and dislike, which is quite sad.

……

At the very beginning of the movie, it shows the strong and powerful soldiers guarding the Great Wall.

The colorful and brightly colored armor is quite eye-catching, giving people a sense of shock similar to that of watching "Heroes".

However, when the female soldiers wearing blue armor and holding spears stood on the Great Wall, Fade Chen couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn feminism!"

Liu Yifei's earlobe trembled slightly, and she reached out to hold his arm to calm him down.

As the plot deepens, the pictures become more and more magnificent, and each scene unfolds like a scroll, making the audience feel as if they are in the world of the movie.

And when the mysterious creature "Taotie" officially appeared on the stage, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a climax!

I have to say that the special effects of "The Great Wall" are really good. Every detail is handled just right, and it can be clearly seen that the US$1.5 million production cost was not wasted.

Then, when the "Taotie" army filled the entire screen, exclamations began to be heard!
The visual effects under the IMAX-3D giant screen are shocking, and the special effects shots directly bring an immersive experience to the guests present.

Everyone was amazed at the visual expression of the movie, as if they were fighting a life-and-death battle with "Taotie".

However, in Chen Fei's eyes, this movie is just like the memory in his mind, full of flaws!
Just like what he watched in his previous life, this "The Great Wall" is definitely up to standard if you only look at the content and visual effects of the movie.

But the extreme measures taken to fight against Taotie, such as using people to "make nests", are really stupid.

Although this is necessary for the plot, this sacrifice is too cruel and will definitely be criticized after it is officially released.

Although the whole movie is star-studded, no character can leave a deep impression.

Even though Zhang Hanyu has excellent acting skills, he seems soulless because the plot does not give him enough time to shape his character.

As for the others, they seemed to be just there for show. Although some of them appeared, it was as if they had never appeared.

What puzzled Chen Fei was that after the first round of siege, the Taotie took away "all" the corpses of the Taotie. Why? The film did not explain why, and perhaps even Zhang Yimou did not know why.

Coincidentally, thousands of soldiers on the Great Wall turned a blind eye to the corpse until they discovered that Taotie had resurrected during a patrol in the middle of the night. Then Zhang Hanyu, the commander of the army, received a box lunch, and then Da Tiantian took power...

"Ugh!"

With a helpless sigh, Fade Chen silently took off his 3D glasses and began to observe the conditions of other people.

Looking around, everyone seemed to be fascinated by the show, and they would exclaim from time to time, and the "supporting role" effect was instantly maximized.

Zhang Yimou and La Peikang, who were sitting not far away, had smiles on their faces, as if they had already grasped the victory.

But Chen Fei has been praying for them silently, hoping that they can withstand enough psychological pressure to withstand the abuse from the outside world.

The movie is indeed very good, but why is it called "The Great Wall"?

It could be called "The Great Wall", but why should a few foreigners be allowed to climb the Great Wall to save the Chinese?

Even if you call it "Song Dynasty Fortress", it's better than "The Great Wall"!
Once stains are mixed between "Great Wall sentiment" and "national self-esteem", there will be severe backlash!
Unfortunately, these high-ranking producers have lost the ability to empathize with ordinary audiences.

~

Nearing 12 noon, the movie officially ended.

At the invitation of the host, La Peikang and Zhang Yimou took to the stage again and made some harsh remarks!

"30 billion is just our starting point, it will never be the end! 40 billion... or even create a new Chinese film box office record, this is our ultimate goal!!!"

Accompanied by the warm applause from the audience, La Peikang subconsciously looked towards Chen Fei.

After all, at the moment, the biggest competitor of "The Great Wall" is "Operation Red Sea".

However, when he met Fade Chen's eyes, his heart was shocked!
"Pitiful? What do you mean? Why does he look so pitiful at me? Doesn't he think highly of this movie?"

La Peikang was filled with surprise, and a feeling of suspicion instantly filled his heart and did not dissipate for a long time.
