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

Chapter 1037: Successfully changing the leader before the battle! There are no bad guys among the crowd anymore

In the film and television industry, it is inevitable to cross the "red line".

Even Chen Fei often steps on the red line. For example, projects such as "Mistakenly Killing", "In the Name of People" and "Dying to Survive" have all passed the review by stepping on the red line. No one can say whether these projects will have problems in the future.

But there are standards for crossing the red line!

This kind of operation that crosses the "subject matter red line" is actually very common in the industry, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

However! The industry has already tacitly agreed that this kind of operation that crosses the "red line of bad artists" should no longer be involved.

With the release of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Railroad Tigers", everyone saw how angry the Film Bureau was.

Especially the movie "Railroad Tigers", which was directly mentioned.

Zhang Hong even said that anyone who dared to continue to tamper with things under his nose would have to pay a terrible price!

But now, no one expected that there are still people who are crossing the red line in different ways!

Although the Golden Broom Award is not very well-known, it is still a mainland award, and it is sponsored and initiated by the "Youth Film Handbook".

And this "Youth Film Handbook" belongs to Capital Television.

Now that the Golden Broom Awards have suddenly come up with an operation to award an artist with a bad record, it is hard not to doubt the thoughts and intentions of the mastermind behind it...

"Tsk tsk, I don't know where the bad guys are, but they're probably not the masses." Fade Chen smacked his lips, a hint of sarcasm emerging on his face.

……

DC Films.

"Justice League" Project Department.

Hamada gave a warm welcome to Joss Whedon!

A week has passed, but Zack Snyder has not yet returned to post-production. This is undoubtedly a very major event for DC!
Hamada has completely lost his patience with him and has already started the process of replacing the director.

Of course, all of this has not yet been told to Zack Snyder himself.

Because Hamada plans to examine Joss Whedon's strength and ability first.

Once it is confirmed that this "successor" can successfully take over Zack Snyder's job, the matter of changing the director will be officially put on the agenda!
"Mr. Hamada Koichiro, I'm glad to meet you."

Joss Whedon was very pleased with Hamada's friendly and warm welcome and had a smile on his face throughout the whole process.

The atmosphere at the initial meeting was so friendly that both parties had a good vision of possible future cooperation.

"This is our screening room. The screening of Justice League will begin here..."

Hamada personally accompanied Joss Whedon into the screening room and briefed him on some of the difficulties encountered on the project.

"So, the length needs to be reduced, the overall style needs to be changed, and it needs to be made into a family-friendly film, right?"

Joss Whedon echoed, keenly capturing the meaning of Hamada's words.

"That's right! That's it!" Hamada was overjoyed.

He could tell from the conversation just now that Joss Whedon was much friendlier than Zack Snyder and was easy to communicate with.

This is good news!

While the two were talking, "Justice League" directed by Zack Snyder was slowly unfolding on the screen, and every shot embodied his hard work and talent.

However, as the film progresses, Joss Whedon's expression becomes increasingly solemn.

He deeply felt the many shortcomings of the film: the pacing was slow, the characterization was not vivid enough, the plot twists were abrupt...

These questions quietly accumulated in his heart, forming an indescribable sense of depression!
Different from the family-friendly style of the Marvel series of movies, the "sense of depression" on the DC side is getting deeper and deeper, making him very uncomfortable to watch.

After the more than four-hour film screening ended, the screening room was completely silent.

Someone stood up silently, covered his stomach and rushed out, obviously unable to hold it in any longer.

Hamada didn't drink any water before watching the movie, so he didn't feel like urinating now. He slowly turned his head to look at Joss Whedon, waiting for his comment.

After a moment, Joss Whedon spoke up.

His voice was calm and firm, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Hamada's heart hard!
"Mr. Hamada, I have to be honest and say that I am not satisfied with this film." Joss Whedon frowned: "Although Zack Snyder is indeed a very talented director, his efforts in this film have not been properly rewarded. The film's rhythm, character creation and plot all have problems, and it is difficult for the audience to resonate."

Hamada nodded slowly, agreeing with what he said.

Because in the previous few previews, almost all film experts expressed similar opinions.

However, the next second, his expression suddenly changed!
Because after completely rejecting Zack Snyder's efforts, Joss Whedon actually suggested: "I think this movie needs to be reshot.

The rhythm of the film must be readjusted, the inner world of the characters must be deepened, and the plot must be made more compact and fascinating...only then can the audience truly feel the charm of "Justice League"!

Otherwise, the performance of this movie after its release will be just like Batman v Superman, a disastrous failure in both word of mouth and box office!"

Hearing this, Hamada could no longer suppress his inner restlessness.

"But if we have to reshoot, what will the cost be? Will all the previous efforts be thrown away?"

"No, no, no!" Joss Whedon added: "It's just reshooting some shots. There's no need to overturn it. If you want to change the style, this is a necessary process."

Hearing this, Hamada fell silent.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I need to think about it. This matter is too complicated. I must report it to Warner. This is not something I can decide on my own."

Joss Whedon slowly stood up after hearing this and said, “Well, Mr. Koichiro Hamada, if you can accept my proposal, we can start cooperation at any time.

But if your decision is not passed, then we can only say goodbye with regret, but what I need to express now is that I am very interested in this project, and I am also very confident that I can make the re-shot and edited "Justice League" surpass "Avengers", I hope you can consider it carefully. "

"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as I have news."

Hamada stood up and personally escorted Joss Whedon out of the company.

After watching the other party leave, Hamada did not return to the company, but got in the car and drove straight to Warner.

He had to ask Kevin Tsujihara for permission. After all, reshoots would cost a lot of money, and DC Films simply couldn't spare that much money for the time being.

On the other hand, "Aquaman" invested by DC is about to start shooting in May. It's a time when money is needed, but DC is almost drained of it!

……

"Emperor Entertainment, Microfilm and Jiuzhou DreamWorks jointly announced that the adventure comedy film "The Fragments of Time", produced and starred by Ge You for the first time, has officially started shooting today."

"It is reported that in addition to Ge You, the film also has Yue Yunpeng, Du Chun, Bao Bei'er, Sun Yue, Re Yizha, Xiao Shenyang and other powerful actors and comedians joining in, aiming to create a 'maximum' comedy effect."

"The Blackout tells the story of how Uncle Ya, a fishmonger, Ah Le, a dolphin trainer, and Zhi Guo, a security guard at the aquarium, mistakenly sold the aquarium's star dolphin 'Baby' abroad after a drunken stupor. In order to clear themselves of the suspicion of illegally selling the dolphin, the 'Blackout brothers' have to embark on an absurd adventure to retrieve the dolphin."

"..."

After the filming ended on the 19th, Chen Fei just returned to the hotel and opened Weibo, and saw that all major social platforms had been flooded with a movie press release called "The Lost Tomb: The Treasure Hunt".

Produced by Ge You, with the participation of a number of comedians including Yue Yunpeng, Sun Yue, Xiao Shenyang, etc., it looks like it is full of gimmicks.

However, the angles of attention from netizens and the media seem somewhat "unique".

The film company has been promoting this movie, but the media and netizens have been criticizing Ge You, saying that 99% of the movies produced by him will become bad movies!
The reason for this conclusion is that Ge You has not had any successful work since signing with Emperor Entertainment Group in 2011.

Looking around, there is not a single movie that has a passing reputation, such as "Personal Tailor", "One Step Away", "The Last Romance", "The God of Cookery", etc.

So much so that when people think of his classic works now, they still think of "Let the Bullets Fly" filmed in 10.

And in the six years after "Let the Bullets Fly", almost every movie he starred in or participated in was a bad movie!
Based on this, everyone's expectations and evaluations of him have dropped to freezing point.

"I'm not going to watch this movie. I'm really scared by Ge Da Ye's trick. I was so annoyed by "The God of Cookery"."

"Why don't we just terminate the contract with Emperor Entertainment Group and take a look at the resources there? What kind of shit are they?"

"Du Chun? Isn't this from the Stab-in-the-Knife Cult? Why was he dragged into this? Is this movie still watchable?" "I really miss Let the Bullets Fly. That's a real movie! I wonder when Jiang Wen's new movie will be finished?"

"I've discovered that next time I watch a movie, I must check the word-of-mouth ratings and reviews first, otherwise I'll probably be fooled!"

Chen Fei was eating melon leisurely, but suddenly, a phone call came in.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button: "Hello? What's up?"

On the other end of the phone, Han Jianu said cheerfully, "Brother! Hehe, according to your request, Wen Muye and I have already edited the first version of "Dying to Survive". What are the plans for next?"

"Huh? Pretty fast huh?"

"That's right! When have I ever procrastinated in doing anything?"

"Okay, let me give you some positive encouragement first..."

After chatting for a while, Fade Chen instructed again: "How about this, you backup the finished film first, and then ask the company to airlift a copy to Atlanta. We happen to have the equipment here, so I will take care of the subsequent fine-tuning."

Sent to Atlanta???

Han Jianu was slightly stunned, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in her mind!

"Don't let the company send you off! I'll do it. I'm just so tired after working so long. I can go on vacation abroad, hehe."

"It's okay to go on vacation, but you have to tell your dad first, and don't sneak over here."

"I'll go and tell you..."

Han Jianu responded impatiently and hung up the phone before she finished speaking.

However, the second after he found his father's phone number, she suddenly stopped again: "No, if I go alone, the old man will definitely be worried. I have to find a companion, then he might agree..."

Thinking of this, Han Jianu quickly slid the screen of her mobile phone.

She first called Wen Muye, and tricked him into agreeing to the deal.

Then, she called Liu Yifei again, trying to trick this heavyweight figure into joining her.

"Sister Yifei! Let me tell you, I just talked to Senior Brother Chen Fei on the phone, and he said he missed you so much and couldn't wait to see you..."

Liu Yifei: "???"

……

In the blink of an eye, several days passed quickly.

"The Hollywood blockbuster "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" was officially released yesterday, with a total box office of 11.09 billion yuan - Maoyan app."

"The Hollywood blockbuster "Kong: Skull Island", produced by Warner Bros. and starring the mainland's top actress Jing Tian, ​​grossed 1.5 million yuan on its first day of release."

"The love and suspense film "Suspect X's Clone", produced by Enlight Pictures and directed by Su Youpeng, starring Wang Kai, Zhang Luyi, Lin Xinru and Ye Zuxin, will hold its premiere in Beijing tomorrow."

"The Next Generation of Stars Season 1 has officially announced two new star promoters: singers Xue Zhiqian and Hua Chenyu will join..."

"Tmall, Weibo, Jujiang and Canxing Entertainment have officially announced that they will jointly launch the 2018 New Year variety show "This! Is Street Dance". Please look forward to it!"

"The super online variety show "Idol Producer", the first idol boy group competition and training reality show in China, which is controlled by iQiyi, has been officially launched today..."

"..."

Traffic is exploding, imported Hollywood blockbusters are still all the rage, and the domestic entertainment industry has clearly begun to show the beginnings of chaos.

However, all this has nothing to do with Chen Fei.

Because at this moment, he was holding Liu Yifei and sleeping soundly.

Han Jianu’s ability to deceive people is really strong.

After her nonsense, she actually brought Liu Yifei along and they came to Atlanta together.

Han Sanping originally didn't want to let her run around, but the project of "Dying to Survive" was very important, plus she was accompanied by Wen Muye and Liu Yifei... so she finally let her go.

Of course, bodyguards and assistants are indispensable. In addition to protecting her, they also have to keep an eye on her.

"I heard that Jia Nu went abroad?"

In the office of China Film Group Corporation, Chairman Lada was asking about Han Jianu's situation with concern.

Han Sanping, who was standing opposite him, looked up at him and nodded gently, "Well, I'm out. Medicine God has reached the refinement stage, and Chen Fei has to take charge."

When he heard the word "Medicine God", La Peikang's mouth twitched.

He really regrets it!

If he had known that "The Great Wall" and "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" would suffer such huge losses, he would never have given up on "Dying to Survive".

In his opinion, if he had been a little thick-skinned, he could have at least gotten 5% from the project.

But now, the project is almost over and everything is too late!

But fortunately, he still has the last one, "The Founding of an Army".

With this project, I think I won’t be criticized by my boss when I report on my work again this year.

"This is the publicity and promotion plan for The Founding of an Army. Take a look."

La Peikang handed a thick stack of documents to Han Sanping.

However, after receiving it, Han Sanping did not open it immediately, but warned in a deep voice: "I have to tell you in advance that the box office of this movie may not be particularly good, you have to be mentally prepared."

"Huh? Why?"

La Peikang was confused.

He had seen the finished film before, and it was very well made! It was very exciting.

“Because Wolf Warrior 2 was released at the same time.”

"Wolf Warrior 2?" La Peikang was very surprised and asked, "What's wrong with it? I remember that Wolf Warrior 1 only had a box office of 6 million. Even if the second part is of higher quality, can it break 10 billion?"
On the contrary, I think we should focus on the movie version of Eternal Love. This is a movie produced by Alibaba Pictures, with a huge investment! It is also a fantasy IP masterpiece with many fans..."

Hearing La Peikang's mumbling, Han Sanping suddenly lost the desire to continue speaking.

He hadn't even realized before that this guy was just a stubborn ass, and was so self-righteous that he simply wouldn't listen to other people's words or opinions!
Han Sanping interrupted him impatiently: "Anyway, I just want to remind you to be careful of Wolf Warrior 2."

"Oh, okay. Got it."

La Peikang nodded slightly, but from his demeanor and expression, it could be seen that he didn't care too much about "Wolf Warrior 2".

……

After a night, the day breaks in Los Angeles!
At Hamada's invitation, Joss Whedon came to DC Films again.

"From now on, this project is handed over to you!" As soon as they met, Hamada shook Joss Whedon's hand seriously and solemnly, his face full of expectations: "Please use this movie to break Marvel's undefeated myth and create the greatness of "Justice League"!"

"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Hamada Koichiro, I will definitely not let you down."

Joss Whedon laughed heartily and was in a very good mood.

Having worked as the assistant director of "The Avengers" for two consecutive years and as Chen Fei's assistant for two years, he felt that he had gained enough experience.

This time, "Justice League" is the "work" that verifies the results of his learning.

He was very sure that his performance this time would definitely open the eyes of the entire Hollywood!
