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

Chapter 1035 The idea of ​​changing the commander before the battle... is going to be bad!? Let Chen Fei be the middleman
For the entire day, the news about Zack Snyder's daughter committing suicide due to depression has been high on the lists of major news media!
In fact, according to the national conditions in the United States, a few people dying every day is not a big deal at all.

But when the deceased is linked to celebrities or politicians, the effect is different!

The video of Zack Snyder bursting into tears has now gone viral, and the whole Hollywood is talking about it.

Many fans quickly posted on social media, hoping to comfort this poor father who lost his family.

For Zack Snyder, this day was almost like the sky falling!
The situation is similar for DC Films and "Justice League".

Since the test screening a few weeks ago, Hamada has been trying to persuade Zack Snyder to re-edit "Justice League".

But director Zack Snyder also has a very tough attitude.

He made it clear that the current version is the final version he edited, and if DC is willing to use it, then it will be promoted and scheduled for release according to this version.

But if DC is unwilling, then we can only seek help from someone else.

But hiring someone else would mean spending more money, which is undoubtedly difficult for Hamada, who has already invested a huge amount of money in the movie "Justice League".

Thus, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Hamada also tried to persuade Zack Snyder through his wife. After all, Deborah Snyder is also one of the producers of "Justice League".

After unremitting efforts, some results have been achieved.

But now, with the news that their daughter committed suicide due to depression, Hamada is completely desperate!
In this situation, whether these two people can continue to devote themselves to their work is another matter, let alone re-editing the film.

After receiving the news, Warner President Kevin Tsujihara went to DC without stopping.

"So what's the situation now? Can post-production work on Justice League continue? Can it be released on schedule?"

After listening to his boss' words, Hamada didn't know how to respond for a moment.

As things have developed to this point, he is completely confused and hasn't even thought about how to make the next plan.

But at this moment, Julian Rich, who came after hearing the news, made a bold suggestion:

"Boss, since Zack Snyder is unwilling to edit the film and change the style of the film, why don't we take this opportunity to find a director who is better at this to take over his job? Do you think this plan can be implemented smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin Tsujihara's eyes immediately lit up: "This is a good idea!"

Hamada frowned and asked subconsciously: "But who should we look for? Who in Hollywood can take on this responsibility? Should we continue to invite Nolan?"

"We can't look for Nolan." Kevin Tsujihara directly cut off Hamada's idea.

"Why?" Hamada looked at his boss suspiciously.

"He is preparing an award-winning film. This project is very important to Warner Bros. Pictures. No one can distract him!"

Kevin Tsujihara looked extremely serious.

Warner Bros. has not made any achievements in the Oscars for several years, which has led to the company's ratings and influence continuing to decline.

Moreover, Kevin Tsujihara had promised the group that he must bring back at least two golden statuettes during his tenure.

But so far, he has not completed this task.

Some people in the group are already very dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, the "Dunkirk" that Nolan is currently preparing is very important and there must be no obstacles!

"Why don't we ask Cameron to come over and help?" Hamada mentioned the name of another famous director.

"James Cameron?" Kevin Tsujihara's face suddenly darkened. "Avatar 2 was originally scheduled to be released last year, but he kept delaying it until two years later. If you invite him to come, do you think Justice League can still be released this year?"

Kevin Tsujihara rejected two suitable candidates in a row, which made Hamada annoyed.

"Who should I look for now?"

Both of them were lost in thought.

However, at this time, Ulian, who was still from Marvel, took the initiative to propose: "Why don't we invite a director who is familiar with the Marvel style? Let him recreate the style of "Justice League"?
Abandon the dark style and create a family-friendly style..."

Upon hearing this, Kevin Tsujihara and Hamada were both moved!
"Julian, do you have a suitable candidate?" Hamada asked proactively.

"How about Joss Whedon?" Julian chose to recommend his good friend, and boasted about it: "He was the assistant director of Avengers 1 and 2, and was also responsible for directing and producing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is also the leader in the post-production of the Avengers film series.

Fei was completely hands-off and had no involvement in post-production at all. Everything was handled by Joss Whedon..."

What Julian said was indeed true. After all, Chen Fei's behavior of being a hands-off manager was no secret in Walton Pictures.

However, he deliberately concealed the detail that every process in the post-production stage was planned and edited by Chen Fei himself.

And this is often the most important part of a movie’s success!
Without Chen Fei, the post-production of the movie would definitely be a mess and it would be impossible to create miracles repeatedly!
"Joss Whedon?"

Hamada uttered the name slowly, his eyes flashing with thought and judgment.

He was considering whether to do so. If a director familiar with Marvel's style was replaced, could "Justice League" be saved?
But at this time, Kevin Tsujihara made a request: "In any case, Justice League must be released this year, the length must be controlled at about 120 minutes, and the style cannot be dark."

As soon as these three requests came out, Hamada felt under tremendous pressure!

He did not continue to think about it, but quickly said: "Julian, please help me contact Joss Whedon. I want to talk to him."

"Okay, Mr. Hamada, I'll go inform him right away."

Without any hesitation, Julian took out his cell phone and called his friends.

However, at this time, Hamada raised a new puzzle: "Boss, if we choose to replace the director, what about Zack Snyder?"

"It's very simple. Either let him quit or marginalize him. Anyway, his job is only in the later stage. It doesn't matter if he is there or not."

Hamada nodded slightly and kept these words firmly in mind.

He is already very dissatisfied with Zack Snyder. If possible, he might as well take this opportunity to force him to leave "Justice League"!
……

"Many Hollywood imported blockbusters have officially been released today, and the number of Chinese-language film screenings continues to decline. The domestic film market has entered the 'off-season'."

"The idol development entertainment reality show "Tomorrow's Son", which is controlled by Guangguang and co-produced by Youku and Douyin, has officially started today!

Yang Mi, a top domestic actor and singer, made her debut at the press conference as the "Chief Star Promoter" for the first time, and producer Ma Hao announced the competition system on behalf of the program team..."

"It was revealed that the South Korean Lotte Group decided to transfer the land of the Seongju Golf Course to the Ministry of National Defense of its country for the deployment of an anti-missile system. This decision has seriously damaged our national interests and aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of the country!"

After a new day of filming, Chen Fei went online and saw that netizens were almost scolding the Lotte Group!
Looking around, the entire Internet is filled with abuse, and the group's business in the mainland has encountered strong resistance.

Lotte Mart, in particular, was boycotted by the entire nation, with some "heroes" even going to the entrance of the supermarket to throw feces and smear ink on it.

For the country and the people, this is an extremely serious incident that needs to be taken seriously!

But for the film and television industry, this means that Korean male and female stars will no longer have the opportunity to develop in China.

If the previous "South Korean artist ban" was just a verbal agreement, then now it is equivalent to a real order. Huayi, Mango and other companies have completely stopped their efforts at this moment.

But at the same time, with the complete withdrawal of those people from South Korea, the idol trainee industry in China was naturally vacated.

This is not just a small "piece of cake", but a huge industry worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions!

After all, we have all seen before how strong the South Koreans' ability to make money is.

And the most important thing is that this money is easy to make and does not require much effort. It is even easier than making money in the stock market!
After all, those little fans would even choose to give up everything for the popularity of their "brother"!
Even... the most precious chastity!
For a time, the share price of Light Media, which held the "The Next Generation of Stars" project, skyrocketed, and the number of people who were optimistic about the company's future development increased dramatically.

At the same time, companies such as Wajijiwa, Lehua Entertainment, Siba Media, Times Fengjun, Awakening East, and Jiangxing Entertainment have also begun to emerge in the industry and market the "fan culture"!
"Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen?"

Wang Changtian called, and he was excited but also inexplicably nervous.

With the launch of "Tomorrow's Son", he always felt as if many ferocious beasts were released, and they were not tied up yet, and they were all running wildly...

This is not a good phenomenon. Once a problem occurs, it will be a big deal!

"No matter whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it's out of control now. All you can do is control yourself, don't make mistakes, and don't be used as a role model in the future..."

Wang Changtian nodded very seriously, but was not ready to stop.

Because the real-time benefits brought to him by this project alone have exceeded the income from making movies, and this thing does not seem to have much risk now, so he will not give up easily.

Just like Chen Fei said, as long as you abide by the rules, you can continue to make money.

The two chatted briefly about the topic of "Idol Producer" and then changed the subject.

Wang Changtian didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly said, "Oh right! I've been paying attention to the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of People" produced by your company recently. Wow, this promotion method is really interesting and gave me a lot of inspiration."

"Ah!" Chen Fei sighed, "This drama is too difficult. Anyway, I have made up my mind that I will never take on the production and promotion of such a project again. It is really too troublesome..."

Faced with "In the Name of People", which has no traffic and no young and beautiful actors, the publicity team of Feiyue Film and Television has racked their brains.

Everyone knows that conventional promotional methods are difficult to impress the audience, and it is even more difficult to stand out in a highly competitive market.

Therefore, after much thought, the publicity team finally came up with a more innovative and targeted publicity method.

They first analyzed the needs and preferences of the target audience and found that anti-corruption themes have attracted much attention in today's society, and the audience has extremely high expectations for real and profound content.

Therefore, the publicity team focused on the interpretation of the plot and interviews with the actors. By deeply analyzing the anti-corruption struggle in the plot and showing the actors' understanding and shaping of the characters, the audience can have a deeper understanding of the drama.

At the same time, they also use new media platforms such as Tik Tok and Weibo to interact with the audience; by initiating topic discussions and soliciting audience opinions, they allow the audience to participate in the publicity and enhance the audience's sense of participation and belonging.

This innovative way of promotion not only attracted the attention of a large number of viewers, but also left a deep impression on the audience.

In addition, the publicity team also focused on cooperation with major media, promoting the show through various channels such as television, the Internet, and newspapers, and carefully produced a number of promotional videos, posters and other promotional materials to present the wonderful moments and touching stories of the show one by one.

The special copy, coupled with the complementary poster, successfully attracted the attention of many new-age netizens.

At this time, many people on platforms such as Weibo and Tik Tok are even making use of the memes from this TV series.

"Do you think when people toast him, they're toasting for his popularity? Wrong! They're toasting for the power he holds."

"Being honest and upright makes you an outlier?!"

"What do you mean by being one step ahead? If you have the people in your heart, then you are one step ahead."

“Once human greed is unleashed, it cannot be contained.”

"In the past, the people did not believe that their leaders would do bad things. Now, the people do not believe that their leaders will do good things..."

"I know you have rules that say it's not allowed to be difficult to get in or have bad faces, but in fact, we, the public, can't even see their faces!"

Against the backdrop of these classic texts, the concept of "In the Name of People" being "extremely large" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It just so happens that the audience and netizens like the word "large-scale", so the reputation of this drama has been successfully spread. Now it depends on the data after it is broadcast on satellite TV.

To this end, Feiyue Film and Television's publicity team has put in a lot of effort and consumed a lot of resources.

It is no exaggeration to say that the effort put into promoting this drama is even greater than that put into promoting a movie!

Anyway, Chen Fei is not going to take this kind of work in the future. It is too tiring!
……

The night is gradually deepening in Los Angeles, while it is just dawning in China.

Happy twist.

After Song Yang finished filming the movie "The Shameful Iron Fist", he entered the intense post-production stage.

His boss has instructed that the film must be released this year, so he has to race against time.

At the same time, in addition to his busy schedule, he also has to help prepare for the project "Li Cha's Aunt", which can be said to be very busy!
But what he didn't know was that while he was busy, the company was already preparing another film project.

This new project is unexpectedly led by Yan Fei and Peng Damu, the two directors and screenwriters who created "Charlotte's Troubles".

"Mr. Zhang, we have already written the script. Now it's up to you to take care of the follow-up matters."

In the office, Zhang Chen looked at the script in front of him and scratched his head worriedly.

"Are you sure you want to do this project first? I think the "Catching Dolls" game is pretty good, why don't you do that project first?"

After "Charlotte's Troubles" became popular, Yan Fei and Peng Damu wrote the script of "Catching Dolls" and also invited Shen Teng and Ma Li to be the leading actors.

This script has even been approved internally and will be the fifth blockbuster film released by Happy Twist after "Shameful Iron Fist".

But now, Yan Fei and Peng Damu actually brought out a new script, which was adapted from a foreign movie. This undoubtedly caused many variables in the company's subsequent arrangements.

In response to Zhang Chen's question, Yan Fei responded without hesitation: "We are not very satisfied with the project of "Catching Dolls". We always feel that there are some areas that can be improved. It just so happens that the current project has been perfected, so why not just complete this project first."

"alright."

Faced with this reason, what else can Zhang Chen say?
However, looking at the script in front of him, he became worried again: "The script is adapted from the American movie "Brewster's Millions", right? So I need to buy back the adaptation rights of this American movie first, right?"

"Yes."

Yan Fei and Peng Damu nodded at the same time.

The latter explained: "Before the adaptation, we had already communicated with Universal Pictures, and they expressed their willingness to authorize us to adapt it, but the specific fee has never been discussed."

Zhang Chen nodded slightly: "It seems that we have to find a middleman. Don't get cheated. After all, Hollywood is a place that can cheat Wall Street. Besides, this is a movie released in 1985, so it shouldn't cost much..."

"Mr. Zhang," Peng Damo suddenly interrupted, "Why don't you contact Director Chen? Isn't he currently filming a movie in Hollywood? Let him be the middleman. Universal Pictures won't cheat us, right?"

"Chen Fei?!"

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Yes! We can ask Director Chen! Anyway, this movie will have to be invested by Feiyue Film and Television, so it will be no problem to ask him to help!"
