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

Chapter 1033: You have kidney deficiency! Another drama with a female lead? This is too unreasonable!

"Last night, the 89th Academy Awards ceremony was successfully held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Chinese actor Chen Long attended the ceremony in a Tang suit, holding the trophy in his hand, and said that he was very proud of being Chinese!"

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance and appeared on the podium as the Best Actor Oscar presenter. He presented the Oscar statuette to Andrew Garfield, the leading actor of Hacksaw Ridge. The latter then gave an 'anti-war' acceptance speech, which won applause!"

"Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbin attended the awards ceremony as Oscar judges, competing with each other and showing the elegance of Chinese actresses..."

"Previously, the crew of The Great Wall, which had been confirmed to attend the Oscars red carpet, was absent. According to relevant sources, it is suspected that the film's box office performance in Hollywood was too poor, so they were absent without reason..."

"The Hollywood A-rated big-budget movie The Meg, in which Li Bingbin is participating, was announced to have wrapped up yesterday and is expected to be released worldwide next year."

~

After a night, it was already the 27th in China.

As expected, all the entertainment news about last night's Oscars ceremony made it to the hot search list, attracting countless people's attention and discussion.

As the only "negative news", "The Great Wall" was undoubtedly once again ridiculed and mocked by netizens.

At this time, China Film.

"Contact Weibo and ask them to remove all the trending searches related to The Great Wall."

La Peikang walked towards the meeting room while giving instructions to the secretary beside him. His indifferent expression concealed deep anger and unwillingness!
"Okay, La Dong."

The secretary walked away tactfully.

Arriving at the door of the conference room, La Peikang pushed it open and walked in.

In an instant, many pairs of eyes fell on him.

"Sorry, everyone. I was late because I had to deal with something."

As he spoke, he came to the main seat and sat down, then looked at Zhou Xingchi and said directly: "Director Zhou, we can start now."

"it is good."

Zhou Xingchi nodded slightly, took the document from the assistant behind him, and said slowly: "Here is the project plan for "Mermaid 2", everyone can take a look.

The second part of the story involves space, and the relationships between the characters are also quite complicated. It mainly tells the story of Long Tianna and Long Jianfei who appear with the "wormhole plan" that can travel through space at will. Liu Xuan returns to the business world because of this, and the mermaid Shanshan accidentally becomes an astronaut, and the entangled four-corner relationship with these people and the shocking conspiracy behind them..."

As he explained, everyone in the conference room looked at the script.

Since we are all "professionals", there is no obstacle in reading the script. In addition, the story is easy to understand, so we quickly understood the plot.

"Director Zhou is indeed a professional. The script is really well written!" Wang Zhonglei spoke first and started praising.

The rest of the crowd echoed:
"Yes, this plot is quite interesting."

“If we can add Stephen Chow’s unique comedy style, I believe it will be another classic.”

"The first film grossed over 30 billion yuan at the box office. After the second film comes out, we should be able to try to reach 40 billion yuan, right?"

"I wonder how Director Zhou plans to allocate the shares of this project?"

As another new question arose, everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look at Zhou Xingchi, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in their eyes.

You know, in "The Mermaid 1", the two companies involved in the investment are Feiyue Film and Television and Guangxian, and both companies are the main controlling parties.

But now, with the participation of China Film Group and Huayi, the situation has naturally undergone irreversible changes.

After all, it is well known that Feiyue Film and Television and China Film have long broken up, and its relationship with Huayi is also extremely bad, and it can even be said that they are incompatible!
Moreover, the relationship between Guangguang and Huayi is now very tense. Although it has not reached the stage of being "incompatible", they have never had any contact with each other.

Based on this, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to get these companies to sit down and discuss business and cooperation details!
Zhou Xingchi naturally also understood these situations.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he said: "If possible, I don't want to give up the cooperation with Guangguang and Feiyue Films. After all, they can bring great help to the film in terms of publicity and theaters.

Therefore, I will take the initiative to communicate with them next time, and try to get them to continue to participate..."

Wang Zhonglei was a little unhappy when he heard this, but because Huayi was also an investor in this project before, he had no right to speak out against it at this time.

But La Peikang's eyes suddenly lit up!
If we can take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Feiyue Film and Television, it would not be a bad thing.

He took the initiative to speak out and make a conclusion on the matter: "Then let's arrange it this way."

Then the various details of the project were agreed upon. La Peikang spoke very little throughout the process, and from time to time he would take out his mobile phone to look at it, seeming a little agitated.

After Zhou Xingchi noticed this, he immediately said, "Boss La, if you have other things to do, you can go ahead and do them first. We will have several more meetings later."

"Okay, then you guys chat first. I do have something else to look after here."

After saying that, La Peikang apologized to the others and left the meeting room in a hurry.

Seeing the door of the meeting room closed again, someone asked curiously: "What is Mr. La busy with? You were absent-minded throughout the meeting?"

"Who knows? Maybe there's something in the company."

"Let's ignore him for now, let's talk about the selection of actors first."

Wang Zhonglei's words attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.

The next second, he added directly: "I think Wu Yifan can be included in the cast of The Mermaid 2. From Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, we can see that his box office appeal is simply extraordinary!
Moreover, traffic actors are the future development prospects of movies, because the box office blessing and fan appeal brought by their personal traffic are simply incomparable to ordinary actors..."

When these words were spoken, quite a few people at the scene agreed with them!

"Top male artists do have a great effect on the box office."

“Traffic is the future!”

"Yes, if Wu Yifan can join The Mermaid 2, it will be even more powerful and very suitable."

The voices of many people lingered in Zhou Xingchi's ears...

Hearing this, his eyes flickered slightly, and his thinking as a "businessman" gradually overwhelmed his bottom line as a "director".

Who can resist the temptation of money?
At the same time, while everyone continued to discuss the details of the project, La Peikang had already arrived at the audition area of ​​"Shanghai Fortress".

As soon as he pushed the door open and walked in from the back door, he heard Teng Huatao praising him, "Not bad, Xiao Lu's acting skills really made me feel bright.

Moreover, his appearance and looks are very suitable for the identity of the male lead Jiang Yang, a college student. In addition, the male lead in the early stage has a green face, which is also very fitting..."

"Thank you Director Fuji for your recognition." Lu Han thanked him excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

From what Teng Huatao said, his audition should be fine.

At this time, the sudden appearance of La Peikang also attracted the attention of everyone in the audition room.

"Mr. La, you are here." Teng Huatao stood up happily and asked La Peikang to sit down.

"How's it going? Are the audition results out?"

"Yeah, it's out." Teng Huatao nodded, pointed at Lu Han and said, "I tried several young actors, and Lu Han fits the image of the original work the best. He is the best choice for the male lead!"

Hearing this, La Peikang's eyes fell on the popular actor in front of him.

In terms of looks, beauty, and popularity, the person in front of us has everything, but when it comes to acting skills, he definitely cannot be compared with those veteran actors.

But, where in the world are there such perfect people? Having flaws is the norm.

He believed that Teng Huatao would be able to train this popular actor well.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see how he performs."

Hearing this, Lu Han quickly assured: "Don't worry, Mr. La, I will never let you down!"

"Well, I hope you can give me a brilliant performance."

After giving a word of encouragement and watching the popular star leave the audition room, La Peikang turned to look at Teng Huatao.

"Who's going to audition next?"

"Female number one, Shu Qi." "Well, let's get started."

"..."

As February is coming to an end and the Oscars are over, the "Golden Broom Awards" that Chen Fei has been paying attention to for many years finally announced the nomination list on the 2th!

However, he was not in a hurry to eat the melon, but focused on completing the work at hand.

“The essence of martial arts drama lies in the novelty and precision of action design, the intensity and excitement of fighting scenes, and the emotional investment and expression of the characters.

What you need to present is to allow the audience to feel the fierce confrontation in person; at the same time, the emotional investment of the characters in the martial arts, such as perseverance, bravery, etc., is also an indispensable part of the martial arts drama, which can enhance the appeal of the story..."

Arriving at the crew early in the morning, Chen Fei first gathered all the actors together and told them the essence of shooting "fighting scenes".

There are a lot of action scenes in "Avengers 3". If they can be presented well and combined with special effects rendering, the presented pictures will definitely be amazing!
It just so happens that Chen Fei is also a martial arts instructor and has a lot of experience in this area!
Although the actors may have to suffer a lot during the filming process, it is all worth it.

"Fei, I feel like filming a fight scene is very similar to an athlete playing football. If you use up too much energy at night, your body will feel limp the next day, and you won't have the strength to muster at all..."

Listening to Robert Downey Jr.'s analysis, Fade Chen gave him a disdainful look and said, "That's called kidney deficiency."

"Hahahahaha!"

The scene suddenly burst into laughter.

Donnie didn't mind, instead he cheerfully asked, "So, you can do so many cool fighting moves because you abstain from sex?"

"That's about right. If you give up sex, desire, and bad habits, you will naturally have strength and energy."

Hearing this, Robert Downey Jr.'s face suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment, but a huge stone suddenly sank in his heart.

"He doesn't like women? He doesn't have any bad habits? Then what does he like? How can I invite him to the island?"

~

The morning shooting time passed quickly.

During the lunch break, Chen Fei ate while paying attention to the nomination list for this year's 8th Golden Broom Awards.

Looking around, almost all of the nominees are big directors, screenwriters, first-line actors, and extremely "well-known" blockbusters!

List of the most disappointing films: "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three", "The Legend of the Gods", "So Young 3: So You Are Still Here", "Jade Dynasty", "The Ferryman", "The Great Wall", "Railroad Tigers", and "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".

Nominees for the most disappointing director: Wang Jing, Zhang Yimou, and Guo Jingming.

Most disappointing actress: Jing Tian.

Most disappointing actor: Andy Lau, Wu Yifan, Chen Xuedong, Huo Jianhua, Tony Leung Chiu-wai.

The heated discussions on the Internet are surging and boiling, and many people say that this shortlist is absolutely well-deserved!
Some people even suggested that these actors and film producers should all go and receive the awards, since they all "deserve" them.

But the more he looked down, the deeper Chen Fei's frown became.

He already had a vague feeling that something was not right.

Why is it that all the nominations and those mentioned by the organizers and judges are works with big investments and big directors?
Aren't there any worse movies than these?
Also, why is Jing Tian the only actress nominated as the most disappointing actress? Are all the other actresses better than her? Is there no one worse than her?

"Why is the selection of the shortlist increasingly deviating from the original purpose of the Golden Broom Award?"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the phone interface flashed slightly, and a sudden caller ID interrupted Chen Fei's thoughts.

After taking a look at the name on the screen, Fade Chen pressed the answer button: "Hey? Director Han? It's already past 12 a.m. in China, right? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Not sleepy." Han Sanping replied casually, and then went straight to the point: "The script you told me about before is called "Mistakenly Killed", right?"

"Yes."

"I've read the script. It does contain some taboos. Although it can pass the review, I have to explain it to you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."

"Okay, go ahead." Fade Chen straightened his back subconsciously and listened very carefully.

“Although the story of your film takes place in Thailand, it is very easy to be reported after it is released because it involves the Inspector General, the local election system, and some negative plot designs against the government.

And the most important thing is that if someone in Thailand is dissatisfied, it will also affect the movie.

And the most important point is that according to the plot design, after Li Weijie killed Sucha, he was not brought to justice in the end. This is very inconsistent with the current national conditions of our country..."

Chen Fei retorted: "That's why I set the background in Thailand!"

In fact, if we follow the plot of the original script, at the end of the movie, although Li Weijie escapes, he is finally troubled by his conscience and chooses to surrender.

But Chen Fei thought that this plot design was very stupid!
As a father, it is normal to want to tear the murderer who assaulted his daughter into pieces when facing him. How could he feel guilty about it?
Isn't it right that the murderer gets the punishment he deserves?

Although this does not conform to the domestic conditions, if it is set in Thailand, it should be able to avoid criticism from certain public intellectuals, right?

Han Sanping was left speechless by his words.

"But your movie is going to be released in mainland China. When this ending comes out, it will definitely be criticized!"

"I'll take care of it."

Having said this, there is no need to continue.

Han Sanping sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, then I'll arrange for the script to be reviewed for you, and I'll release it to you after March 3th. If there are any subsequent problems, you'll have to handle them."

"Okay." Chen Fei responded, and suddenly noticed another important point: "Why is it after March 3th?"

"You'll know then."

"Hey? Why are you still in a trance?"

"You just need to know that there will be a surprise."

After saying that, Han Sanping hung up the phone, leaving Chen Fei unable to extricate himself from his strong curiosity.

……

After one night, February officially came to an end and it was March 2st.

"Directed by Stanley Tong and starring Chen Long, Aarif Lee, Zhang Yixing, Shang Yuxian and others, the action, adventure and fantasy film Kung Fu Yoga has officially entered the key extension stage. The film's current total box office is 17.22 billion yuan."

"The ancient fantasy drama "Legend of the Ancient Sword", starring Yang Mi and Chen Weiting, has officially finished filming today."

"Golden Harvest Films and Feiyue Films announced this morning that the crime and action film "Wushuang", starring Wang Zhiwen, Aaron Kwok, Chan Yu, Liu Shishi, Wang Yaoqing and others, had finished its last scene yesterday evening."

"In the latest list of approved film and television scripts, there is a fantasy TV script "Si Teng" submitted by Jing Tian Studio!"

"At 10 a.m., Feiyue Films and Jingtian Studios officially announced that the fantasy script "Si Teng", adapted from Wei Yu's original novel "Half-Demon Si Teng", was officially launched today!
The play tells the story of a young designer Qin Fang who accidentally triggered a mechanism during his search for his roots and met Si Teng who had been sleeping for decades. In the process of helping Si Teng find the truth about her life, the two got to know each other and overcame many obstacles to grow together. "

"After calling Jing Tian's studio, the reporter learned that the drama is about a woman, and Jing Tian will play the leading female role herself. This is also the first project after her studio reached a cooperation agreement with Feiyue Film and Television... The expected investment in the drama is 1.2 million, and there is no upper limit!"

With the continuous outpouring of entertainment news releases about "Sito" on the Internet, more than half of the female stars in the entire domestic entertainment industry were confused.

The Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall" has suffered huge losses, and the leading actress Jing Tian was just nominated for the Golden Broom Award for Most Disappointing Actress yesterday.

But only one day later, she got another female-led drama with an investment of 1.2 million yuan.

This... this is too much, too outrageous, too magical, right? !

She just failed in a big-budget movie! Shouldn't she be affected? How come she got another drama starring a heroine? !

This is so unreasonable!
