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

Chapter 997 My Yang Ying's acting skills are worthy of 8000 million yuan! "The Great Wall"...Falling into the abyss!
Speaking of which, Emperor Entertainment Group did suffer an unexpected disaster this time.

When the filming of "The Last Romance" started, Wanda and Huayi had not yet "started the war", so Yang Shucheng did not think much about it at the time and participated in the investment of this movie.

And it's not just investment. Even Ge You and Gillian Chung were recommended to join the group by Emperor Entertainment Group. After all, both of them are contracted artists under Emperor Entertainment Group.

But now, the conflict between Wanda and Huayi has intensified, which has directly led to a sharp drop in the screening schedule of "The Last Romance".

It goes without saying that this investment was definitely a loss, because "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" is a lesson learned.

Emperor Entertainment Group is very depressed at the moment, but there is nothing they can do.

After all, they came to the mainland to make a living, so how dare they offend a "local tyrant" like Wanda? The key is that they themselves are not "strong dragons", which is even more embarrassing.

Chen Fei was helpless and could only warn: "The cooperation with Huayi will come to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and "The Wasted Time" are just the beginning."

"Ah, I know this. I can only blame myself for my bad luck."

"This Lapaikang has crammed so many imported films into January and February. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for Chinese-language films? It would be better if President Han was here."

"He is a person...it's really hard to judge him."

At the same time, in the office of Huayi Company, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could turn into ice.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei sat around a large office desk, their faces filled with indignation and helplessness.

The sunlight from outside the window shone in through the gaps in the curtains, but it still couldn't dispel the gloom in the room.

"Obviously, this "The Last Romance" is also doomed!"

Wang Zhonglei's voice was low and trembling, and he clenched his fists, as if this could alleviate the anger and restlessness in his heart.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head slowly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "If it weren't for Feng Xiaogang's long article, perhaps the situation wouldn't be so bad, but now... it's all too late."

The situation is now very clear. Huayi and Wanda have had irreconcilable conflicts, and Feng Xiaogang's reckless behavior has completely intensified the conflicts.

For the sake of face, dignity, and just to prove itself, Wanda will never give up.

"Brother? What should we do now? Are we just going to watch?"

"No! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Wang Zhongjun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's announce the Four Heavenly Kings project first. No matter what, we have to stabilize the stock market first."

"But..." A complex expression flashed across Wang Zhonglei's face: "Yaolai Pictures called this morning and said they would terminate their subsequent cooperation with us."

"Hmm? What do they mean by this?"

"According to my analysis, they are probably worried that this hugely invested film will also suffer an unexpected disaster."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhongjun fell silent.

Wanda has already started to get ruthless, which has led to Huayi's two films being targeted in succession.

Once this movie “Four Heavenly Kings” is released, it will definitely become their target.

Under such circumstances, it is natural for Yaolai Pictures to choose to withdraw from the investment.

"It's the same with Emperor Entertainment Group. Yang Shucheng called this morning and said that The Last Romance would be the last collaboration."

"Oh, it's true that when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down!"

Wang Zhongjun sneered a few times, and after a long while, he finally accepted this fact.

"If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. At worst, we can just work alone in the future. It's not like we can't make a movie without a partner. It's just a matter of funds. We at Huayi don't lack that!"

"But for such a large account with no other companies involved, wouldn't it be too conspicuous? If the higher-ups take notice..."

"No." Wang Zhongjun said confidently: "Our "Four Heavenly Kings" is only expected to invest 5 million yuan, which is just a drop in the bucket. Song Ge spent 30 billion yuan at once, and he is still safe and sound, isn't he?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei felt a little relieved.

The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation. It has been like this since ancient times!
"Then I'll go down and make the arrangements?"

"Well, go ahead. Remember to prepare the contracts of those actors. Try to find people we are familiar with. This will make it easier to handle and prevent people from making irresponsible remarks and causing unnecessary trouble."

"Brother, don't worry about this." Wang Zhonglei smiled confidently: "This kind of thing has actually become an unspoken rule in the circle. Everyone is doing it. It's not just us, right?"

"Oh?" Wang Zhongjun raised his eyebrows and asked subconsciously, "Is Feiyue Film and Television also doing this?"

"Uh……"

Wang Zhonglei was slightly stunned and shook his head. "Not at Feiyue Films. The people there are pretty stupid. They all pretend to be righteous. I heard that they never missed paying taxes once, and they don't even take advantage of those obvious loopholes."

As he said this, his face was full of sarcasm.

If they follow the operation of Feiyue Film and Television, I don’t know how many hundreds of millions they will have to pay every year. It’s simply too stupid.

If you can't even evade taxes, aren't you asking for trouble?
Wang Zhongjun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't worry about them. Chen Fei is a freak with a brain bubble. Just ignore him, so as not to cause trouble for us."

"Okay, I'll go arrange the announcement of The Four Heavenly Kings first."

"Yeah, let's go."

……

The morning passed quickly and in the blink of an eye it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

After taking a nap in the nanny car, Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and opened the Weibo app while walking towards the set.

He originally wanted to read the reviews of "The Great Wall" and "The Last Romance", but he never expected that Yang Ying would suddenly intervene!
"Hey? Is this woman crazy?"

Looking at the hot searches online about Yang Ying and the TV series "The Lonely Queen" starring her, Chen Fei began to wonder if she had taken some kind of stupid drug.

The premiere date of "The Princess Weiyoung" is next month 2, which is only half a month away.

In this case, it is understandable that the main creative team of the crew goes on roadshows and does publicity, and this is also the responsibility of every actor.

As the leading actress, Yang Ying's presence while promoting the show with a big belly should have been a good publicity hotspot.

For example, words like "dedicated to work", "obsessed with drama", "taking care of children without forgetting work", etc., these are all very good promotional topics and are also behaviors that can trigger strong support from fans.

But I don’t know if she had something wrong with her brain. When facing media interviews, she shamelessly said a lot of "earth-shattering and soul-stirring" remarks, which directly led to an instant explosion of public opinion on the Internet!
The host simply asked her, "Why did you get a sky-high salary of 8000 million yuan for filming the drama "The Lonely Queen"?"

Under normal circumstances, you should either choose not to answer this kind of question or just laugh it off.

But Yang Ying seemed to have had her sore spot stepped on, and when facing the camera, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a serious, earnest, and even slightly resentful expression!
Not only that, she even specifically refuted: "You only saw my 80 million yuan salary, but have you ever seen my hard work? Do you know that on the set, I repeatedly pondered the lines and practiced hard until late at night for a single shot? You never mentioned these, let alone reported them!"

Her words revealed deep helplessness and dissatisfaction, as if she was vindicating the sweat and efforts that had been "ignored".

“Acting is not only a profession, but also an art. The delicacy and tenderness in it require time to accumulate and polish, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved with just passion.
In other words, you can’t put on a good show just by hard work!

No one is perfect, including actors. I know that my acting skills may still be immature, but God has given me this look, so I have the responsibility to cherish it and work hard. And this pay is what I deserve, I deserve it!"

When this answer came out, netizens were stunned. And many veteran actors and actors in the industry were completely shocked!

You know, there are many first-rate actors among them who can guarantee the ratings of the series, but their pay is far less than Yang Ying!
Just for this 8000 million, many top-tier actors may have to work hard for several years to earn it!

In comparison, many people suddenly feel very depressed, and even their mentality is almost unbalanced.

Because they know very well that in the profession of acting, first-line stars often earn much more than first-line actors!

This reality is undoubtedly an irony to the current film and television industry market, but it is also caused by the changes of the times, and no one can change it.

However, Yang Ying's situation is particularly special!
Because in the eyes of everyone, her acting skills are really hard to compare with those real big stars and first-line actors.

Her remarks are even more offensive and confusing.

Where does she get the confidence to say that her acting skills are worthy of the sky-high salary of "8000 million"?

If it weren't for Huang Xiaoming, she would probably still be walking on a catwalk wearing revealing clothes!
But Yang Ying didn't seem to care about these, because in her opinion, marrying well is also a kind of class improvement.

And when her social class is upgraded, she will naturally enjoy the treatment she deserves.

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

Therefore, it was natural and reasonable for her to receive 8000 million yuan in salary for filming "The Princess Weiyoung", because it was also the result of her hard work.

But she never expected that her words would cause such a horrific public opinion storm!

Looking around, people online are going crazy with curses!

"You are the only one who deserves 8000 million yuan in pay? Haha, I really laughed. Without the leader, you are not even worth 8000 yuan."

"How shameless do you have to be to say that you are a good actor?"

"Hahahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter, this is so funny, this may be the funniest joke I have heard this year."

"No, sister? You are too shameless, aren't you? Tell me, which drama do you have that can highlight your acting skills well?"

"I want to see how good this movie 'The Princess Weiyoung' is that it can earn you 8000 million. See you on the evening of the 2nd of next month!"

……

After eating the melon of "The King's Woman", Chen Fei has already arrived at the set.

The actors were putting on makeup, Han Jianu was adjusting the equipment, and Wen Muye was checking with the crew about the props, scenes, etc. for the upcoming shooting.

Han Sanping did not come to the set today. He was called away by the General Administration. I don't know if he went to discuss matters related to the employment review department.

After touring the set, Fade Chen returned to the director's chair and continued to watch TV on his phone.

The term "hands-off boss" is perfectly demonstrated in him!

"The Wasted Time" perfectly demonstrates the characteristics of China's current award-winning films. First of all, we have to admit that its costumes, scenes, material selection, conception and actor selection are all first-class in China, and its dedication is worthy of praise.

But overall, it was overdone in every sense, for example, the shooting technique of 'fixed lens + symmetrical screen' and the editing technique of 'dialogue first, transition later' were used more than ten times in this movie? It felt like listening to ten performances of The Voice of China full of virtuoso singers. To describe it in four words, it's 'big but useless'!"

"I saw many people said they didn't understand it after watching it, but in fact the plot is not complicated. It's all the fault of the editing."

"In order to increase the mystery and literary sense, the timeline is deliberately messed up, and the characters are numerous and diverse, and most of them have low recognition... Uh, I was quite drunk watching this movie."

"When I watch a movie that's advertised in advance as a brain-burning film, I usually feel a lot of pressure. I'm worried that I won't understand it, and it would be embarrassing if I can't pretend to be good. After all, I'm also a vain person.

Fortunately, when I was watching this movie, I followed the director's jumps and actually roughly understood the plot, which was a little comforting.

But after watching the whole film, I always feel a little uncomfortable, for example, Zhang Ziyi's sex scene, is it too real? It doesn't look like acting at all. Could it be that it has the same origin as "Lust, Caution"? "

~

"I actually have a sentimental attitude towards the movie The Great Wall. I also want to see the scene where our people resist foreign enemies on the Great Wall. It just so happens that Zhang Yimou is very talented in large-scale scene scheduling, so I was really looking forward to it. But the result made me very, very, very disappointed!"

"The leading actress's acting is really not suitable for this role. There is a smile in her eyes almost the whole time. She doesn't have the temperament of "who says women are inferior to men". Her acting is completely unchanged. The same is true for other characters. There is no memorable role at all."

“From the perspective of an ordinary audience, as a commercial popcorn movie, the film itself is quite good in terms of visuals, special effects, details, and the cast is in line with the configuration of a commercial film, but the plot is really fucked up!

A few foreigners actually came to the Great Wall to save the Chinese people? What the hell is this story? Who decided to make this movie? Isn't this worshipping foreigners?"

"The country made me stand up! But today, The Great Wall actually made me kneel down and beg foreigners. It's really an insult to this word!"

"Uh, I always thought you needed to bait when fishing, but I never thought you also needed to bait to ward off monsters, and you used a group of women to bait? What kind of LGBT style is this?"

"If I were to change the name of this movie, I think it should be called "Song Dynasty Fortress", or just like those pure Hollywood blockbusters abroad, it would be fine to call it "Taotie". What do you think you should call it "The Great Wall"? Is your plot worthy of the word "Great Wall"?"

Chen Fei scanned many platforms including Maoyan, Weibo, Blog, Douban, etc., and finally came to a conclusion.

“I’m afraid these two movies are going to fail!”

As for "The Last Romance", many viewers said that they couldn't understand it. Coupled with the sluggish screening schedule, it is destined that its box office will definitely not be too high.

Looking at "The Great Wall", the word of mouth is almost split wider than the Mariana Trench!
Although there are many fans who gave positive reviews of 9 or 10 points, looking around, there are actually more negative reviews, and the number of people who gave negative reviews is far greater than those who gave positive reviews!
The main point that everyone was very dissatisfied with was the fact that Europeans climbed the Great Wall.

There are so many generals and talented commanders in our country, but in the end we still have to rely on two foreigners to save the country. Isn't this worshipping foreigners?

Many film critics even used extremely dirty words!
"What kind of Sino-foreign co-production? This is a film that kowtows to the Americans."

"From the perspective of The Great Wall, Zhang Yimou is dead..."

"Overall, The Great Wall and Jue Ji are both from the same source, and Zhang Yimou and Guo Jingming are even more comparable. China Film Group's choice of him as director was a bad move!"

"It was promoted so vigorously at the beginning, but now a bad movie has been made. The person in charge of the competent authority must come out to apologize and take responsibility!"

"It was a complete mistake to choose to let Han Sanping step down and La Peikang take over. The latter was simply a figurehead when he was in office. Not only did he schedule a large number of imported films, he also harmed domestic films. His crime is punishable by death!"

On the China Film side, La Peikang’s good mood has now disappeared!
He never expected that the movie he put so much effort into would be in such a state after its official release.

The online abuse is endless, with targets ranging from the film itself to director Zhang Yimou, and now even to him...

The words "holding a position without doing any work" and "his crime is punishable by death" made his eyes pop out!
"Hat fans! They are all haters! These people must have been bought off by someone with ulterior motives!"

In the office, La Peikang slammed the table heavily, his anger difficult to contain!

The secretary was standing not far away, but after watching this scene, he didn't dare to come up and persuade.

He knew what the movie "The Great Wall" meant to his chairman. Now that its reputation was divided, it would greatly affect his political achievements!
At the same time, in anger, La Peikang suddenly recalled the look that Chen Fei gave him on the day of the premiere of "The Great Wall".

It was a look filled with "pity", "question", and even a hint of "sarcasm".

"Could it be that he had already anticipated that such a day would come?"

For a moment, La Peikang fell into deep thought and into the abyss...
