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

Under the "high expectations", at 24:00 in the morning, the 68th Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the list of finalists for the main competition of this year's film festival.

Although it was late at night, tonight, nearly 100 domestic media companies were brightly lit.

When the list of the film festival was announced, all media were moved and rushed in!

Less than 5 minutes later, the relevant news had spread to major portals, social platforms, Weibo, Tieba and other places.

"At 24:00 Beijing time, the 68th Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the list of candidates for the main competition unit, among which there are as many as three Chinese-language films!"

"Warm congratulations to Hou Xiaoxian's "The Assassin", Jia Zhangke's "Mountains May Depart", and Chen Fei's "The Worst Man in the World" for successfully being shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes International Film Festival."

"It is reported that the film "The Worst Man in the World" directed by Chen Fei has not yet passed the review of the Film Bureau, which also means that when it participates in the selection of awards at foreign film festivals, it does not comply with the regulations of the Film Bureau..."

That night, the entire film industry exploded!

Three Chinese-language films were shortlisted for this year's Cannes International Film Festival. This is undoubtedly the most awesome time for Chinese-language films in Cannes in history.

But the most shocking thing is that Chen Fei actually took the film to Cannes for selection, and it was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit!

In his directorial career, there were only two times he rushed to Cannes.

One of them won the Palme d'Or, and this time it was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit, obviously aiming for an award.

This strength... is simply too awesome!

However, everyone was shocked, but they also had other complicated thoughts.

"Come on, cheers, this is worth celebrating."

In the box, Wang Zhonglei picked up the wine glass as soon as he saw the news, and his words were full of excitement.

Gu Changwei was in a complicated mood: "After this time, he may face the same situation as Jiang Wen, at least banned from directing for five years, which is a fatal blow to a director!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded in agreement: "Although he can still go abroad to film, or appear as a screenwriter, producer, or actor, it is still different from directing by himself."

"Alas." Xu Ke sighed: "I'm afraid the operation of the Film Bureau is a bit too disappointing."

As directors, regardless of their positions, the three of them were somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Fei's experience.

After all, they had all been harassed by the Film Bureau before, and every time they thought about it, they were so angry!

Seeing that no one was toasting with him, Wang Zhonglei froze in mid-air with his glass, looking a little embarrassed.

Guan Hu reacted and quickly raised his glass, saying to Wang Zhonglei from a distance: "Old Cannon has been successfully completed, and it will surely shine during the Lunar New Year holiday. It is indeed worth celebrating!"

After finally finding a step, Wang Zhonglei walked down naturally.

"Yeah, that's right, the box office will surely be a big hit..."

He swallowed the wine in the glass, still unable to hide his excitement.

Chen Fei is about to be banned from directing, which makes him happier than the rise in Huayi's stock price.

A big worry in his heart can finally be put to rest for a few years, and he is excited just thinking about it!

"Tonight, we won't go home until we get drunk, haha!"

...

"What? Chen Fei's movie has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival?"

Although he was busy all day, La Peikang still slept very restlessly. Now after receiving a call from his secretary, he was even more sleepy.

Under this situation, "banning" is inevitable.

And this also means that "Operation Mekong" will be Chen Fei's last "swan song" this year!

Even if he chooses to leave China and go to Hollywood to develop, any movie directed by him in the future will not be able to enter domestic theaters for screening.

In this way, the entire mainland film industry is likely to stop moving forward, and its development will inevitably be restricted!

You know, the reason why the current mainland film industry can develop so rapidly is all inseparable from the promotion of Chen Fei and Feiyue Film and Television.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid domestic films would still be working towards a box office of 1 billion, not to mention 2 billion or 3 billion.

"These old guys who are just sitting there doing nothing, for status, fame, and power, don't care about the development of the film industry at all. What's the point of having them?"

La Peikang's anger was rising uncontrollably, but he was powerless.

He tried to use his connections yesterday, but later found that some things were simply beyond the reach of him, the chairman of China Film.

Even Tong Gang ran into obstacles everywhere after struggling for a whole morning, let alone him?

The people above were "fighting", and they had no right to speak except to follow suit.

He knew before that the old and young people were very capable, otherwise they would not have been able to firmly control several of the most critical and core departments at an age when half of their bodies were buried in the ground.

Now, in order to consolidate their position and show their means, they picked Chen Fei, the hard persimmon, and it was obvious that they were about to succeed!

If they succeed this time, I'm afraid even the mainland film industry will fall into a big fall!

"Stubborn, relying on seniority, not striving for progress, complacent, conservative, stagnant, only caring about the immediate benefits... What's the use of you? What's the use!"

That night, La Peikang cursed very dirty!

On the other hand, other film and television production companies that compete directly with Feiyue Film and Television all celebrated, and there were even many people like Wang Zhonglei who didn't go home until they were drunk.

The group of old men at the Golden Rooster Awards were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

"I have to admit that this guy is really capable, but this is China, not a foreign country, hahaha!"

"Sun Wukong is capable enough, right? But he still can't escape the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha?"

"From today on, he will wear the tight hoop we made for him, haha."

"Everyone? Who is willing to be this Tang Monk and go on this journey to subdue the 'monkey monster'?"

"I want to go! I have looked for him several times before, but I was rejected every time. This time I want to see if he dares to keep me out!"

"Okay, then I wish Zhou Laoma success and successfully subdue the 'monkey monster'. Let him see what the rules are. Young people can be angry, but in front of us, they must be obediently coiled or lying down!"

...

That night, countless calls came to Chen Fei. Some were comforting him, some were trying to find out the truth, and some were helping him find a way. Some people who knew the inside information expressed their willingness to be middlemen and mediate for him.

Chen Fei thanked many people and blocked many weird guys.

Finally, at Liu Yifei's request, he turned off his phone and climbed into bed.

The sky soon brightened, and public opinion was in an uproar!

There was endless discussion and abuse on the Internet. Looking around, most of them supported Chen Fei and criticized the review side for having water in their heads when taking a shower.

At nine o'clock, Chen Fei avoided the media's pursuit and appeared in the company very low-key.

Before he sat down, Su Guohai, Zhong Lifang, Jiang Xueruo, Chen Guofu and others followed in, their faces full of impatience and anxiety.

"No need to say more, I know what's going on, let the bullet fly for a while."

Seeing his calm and confident appearance, for a moment, several people were a little confused.

Could it be... there is still a chance?

Before several people reacted, the office door was pushed open again, and the secretary hurried in.

"Director Chen, those old men are here again. They even asked you to go downstairs to receive them and invite them in. They even said that they could give you a chance reluctantly..."

"Where did these foodies come from? Call the security guards to kick them out. Don't let them in the company gate in the future."

"Ah?" The secretary was slightly stunned and didn't react.

"Why are you standing there? Go!"

"Oh, okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

In the office, several people were more and more confused.

Kick people out? So brave? Are you confident? Or have you already given up?

...

At the same time, in the Film Bureau, in the conference room. "I declare that from now on, the daily work of the General Administration's review department will be directly handled by Tong Gang. Luan...you should first handle the innovation work in the association and the selection of domestic film and television awards, and you don't have to worry about the review.

Also, didn't the review department announce yesterday that a certain movie did not pass the review? Who published this false conclusion? Hurry up and revise it. How can you make such a mistake?"

As soon as the voice fell, questioning voices suddenly rang out:

"Director Zhang, this is not in compliance with the regulations? There is a problem with the movie. Shouldn't it be sent back for revision and then re-examination..."

Before the man finished speaking, Zhang Hong, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, interrupted directly and said: "This is a decision made by the ministry. Why don't you call Minister Liu?"

As soon as these words came out, the conference room suddenly fell silent!

Many older men widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief!

It was just a movie review, but it actually alarmed the minister. This...this is a sign that the sky is about to fall!

After the meeting, Tong Gang took a big step and went straight to the review department.

This time, he stood in the right position again!

…

In a blink of an eye, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

The public opinion, which was already boiling, was completely boiling at this moment!

No one expected that the Film Bureau actually deleted the notice published yesterday and replaced it with another new notice:

"The review application for the movie "The Worst Man in the World" has been approved and the screening license can be obtained..."

Yesterday it was still "failed", and today it suddenly became "passed".

It's just a difference of one word, but the meaning it represents is very different!

In less than a minute, the originally silent film circle suddenly became lively, and countless people flocked to Chen Fei's Weibo and made congratulatory remarks.

"Congratulations to Director Chen! He has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival again. I wish you a great success!"

"This time, I will definitely bring back another trophy."

"Director Chen is so strong! I really admire him! He has won the award twice and has been shortlisted twice. He will definitely be able to achieve the same results again."

"..."

"Tsk, a bunch of guys who follow the wind."

Chen Fei was flipping through Weibo, his words full of disdain.

Su Guohai was confused: "Hey? How come it passed the review again? But we haven't modified it according to their requirements yet!"

"That thing doesn't need to be repaired at all." Chen Fei curled his lips and said with disdain: "What review standards? Isn't this set by people? The rules are not dead and can be flexibly changed at any time."

While he was complaining, the office door was suddenly pushed open again.

The secretary walked over quickly and said with a face full of urgency: "Dr. Chen, what's wrong, there's an old man downstairs who doesn't know what's wrong. He fainted immediately after answering the phone. He seemed to have a heart attack."

Faint?

Having a heart attack?

Chen Fei's face changed slightly and he stood up suddenly: "Where did you faint? Did you call 120?"

The secretary shook his head: "They were sent out by the security guards. They fainted in the square outside as soon as they left the company door."

Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately sat back, waved his hand casually and said, "Then don't worry about it. Let them die wherever they like. Just don't die in my company."

After that, he moved the mouse and clicked the "Send" button under an email that was about to cross the ocean.

After May is over, new plans can be launched.

He is very much looking forward to the big movie-watching storm that will break out around the world when he combines all the movie and animation copyrights he has accumulated over the years!

However, before that, he had to fly to Hollywood in advance.

"Avengers 2" will be released simultaneously in the global theater market in more than 20 days, starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Chris Evans , Scarlett Johansson and others have launched various promotional activities in North America.

Although he is a director who is very good at being a hands-off boss, under this situation, he cannot continue to throw away people.

The investment in this movie is not small. If there is any disclosure that affects the box office performance, it will be a big trouble.

Marvel is now in its most critical period of vigorous development. If it wants to get rid of DC, it must go all out.

Moreover, the first part of "Avengers" was so successful, if the second part had too much crotch, he would be disgraced as a director.

…

At the same time, the bosses of Huayi, Bona, Chengtian, Alibaba Pictures and other companies also saw the news online. As expected, they were all stunned on the spot.

"No? What's going on? Wasn't it just announced yesterday that it failed the review? So it passed the review again after just one night? Can it be revised so quickly?"

"What is the bureau doing? Why can't I understand it?"

"So, it's impossible for this situation to happen? Mader, you're happy for nothing."

"It's a multi-party game. It's normal for this to happen. Don't worry about it. We should prepare for the second project, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom". Haha, this name sounds good. Fan movies and big data are king. !”

At the same time, on the Golden Rooster Jury, a group of old men who came belatedly changed their expressions after seeing the news on the Internet!

"What's going on? Who sent this notice? We obviously agreed to take this opportunity to blackmail him, so why did you suddenly send out such a notice? Isn't this a slap in our face?"

"It's the director! He personally issued the order! And starting from today, the review department will also be under Tong Gang's control."

"What! Say it again? How could something like this trigger the director to personally come down and give instructions?"

"It's not what the director meant. According to what he said, it seems to be a direct order from the ministry, and it was through express channels, just to ensure that the kid's movie can be released smoothly and participate in the Cannes evaluation."

"Ministry? Ministry! It's just for a movie. Is it worth it? Where do you put the face of us old guys?"

"Mr. Yang, there's a call from the bureau. Just ask us to make arrangements for the Golden Rooster. We won't need us after the review."

"Is this the true story?"

"No! No! What I said is, if your eyes are dim, just stay at home and don't come out...Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang, what's wrong with you? Hurry! Come here! Call 120!"

…

Huairou Film and Television Base.

On the set of "The Great Wall", La Sheikang's laughter was very loud: "Haha, okay! I knew this guy must be prepared, so he is waiting here! Fortunately, I am still worried about him."

“I really didn’t expect that!”

Zhang Yimou, who was standing aside, was very touched.

Compared with Chen Fei, his energy is still much smaller after all, otherwise the "Return" would not have been cut to pieces.

"I hope he can win another award at the Cannes Film Festival this time."

Zhang Yimou murmured, with envy in his eyes.

He has both a golden bear and a golden lion, but this golden palm is the one thing he has always dreamed of but cannot touch.

Maybe after "The Great Wall" is finished filming, he will try again.

As long as I live, I just hope that I can leave without regrets.

At the same time, the Internet was suddenly filled with joy, and many netizens expressed their opinions:

"Sure enough! Director Chen's movie will definitely not disappoint us!"

"After all, the review team found out that they had gone astray, haha. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

"I'm really looking forward to this movie. I hope I can get something from it at the Cannes Film Festival."

"So... can you come back with another Palme d'Or?"

"It's hard to say. It's not easy to win the Palme d'Or. But I heard that the movie shot by Director Chen is promoted from the perspective of the heroine, and the French actress Sophie Marceau is one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival. This movie has a natural advantage."

"It doesn't matter if it can't win the Palme d'Or. Chen Fei has already won it. It would be nice to win the Best Director this time, or help Liu Yifei win a Best Actress trophy!"

"My Sissi also has the opportunity to become the second Cannes Best Actress after Zhang Manyu. That's great!"

"Brother upstairs, stop it. With Liu Yifei's acting skills, she actually wants to win the Cannes Best Actress? Are you kidding me?"

"Brothers! Are there any black fans? Come on together! Get him!"
