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

With the emergence of entertainment news one after another, a new day has begun in the country.

Since returning to Hollywood, Zhang Ziyi has once again found herself in a situation where she has no films to work on.

She was about to start preparing for the project "The Emperor's Industry", which she had personally chosen and was adapted from the novel by writer Mei Yuzhe.

But what she never expected was that after arriving at the company early in the morning, her agent actually brought her two good news!
"Are you talking about the release date of the film "Never Gone" directed by Li Fangfang, a tribute to Tsinghua University's centennial anniversary?"

"Yeah, that's right, it's Sister Ziyi."

The agent nodded in response and added, "Penguin Pictures sent a notice saying that the film will be released on January 1 next year and asked us to cooperate in the promotion."

"Sure! How do we promote it? Have you come up with a plan?"

For a moment, Zhang Ziyi found it difficult to suppress her inner excitement!
The release date of this movie is like a true portrayal of "after all the darkness comes the light" for her.

She originally thought that she would be dropping out of the limelight and acting in a TV series, but she never expected that a movie that was completed 5 years ago would be announced to be released at this time.

Even God can’t stand this!
It seems that she is destined not to fall into the mortal world, because fate has always been favoring her and has never abandoned her!

"This is the promotional plan." The agent quickly handed over a document.

Zhang Ziyi took it and nodded with satisfaction while flipping through it: "Okay! Let's follow this plan. Go tell Penguin Pictures and China Film. I will cooperate with you throughout the process."

"Sister Ziyi, there's more. Look at this."

The agent handed over another document.

"what is this?"

Zhang Ziyi opened the document and took a look, and saw the five big words "The Birth of an Actor" written on the cover.

"This is a variety show I've arranged for you. You will be on stage as a performance mentor, guiding the 'young actors' and 'veteran actors' who are participating in the competition... forming teams and guiding the contestants to victory..."

Listening to her agent's introduction, Zhang Ziyi felt more and more that this variety show was perfect for her.

Going on the show to show your acting skills and let more people see your excellence will be of great help to your future development!
And the most important thing is that those contestants are all first- and second-tier levels, and appearing as a mentor is undoubtedly the best way to enhance their status.

Thinking of this, she nodded quickly in agreement.

"Okay, I'll take this variety show."

With a movie and a top-notch variety show, Zhang Ziyi believes that she has secured a spot this year. As for next year... let's talk about it later.

God has been so kind to her, maybe there will be a way out when the time comes!
……

"Hollywood Reporter: This morning, the sci-fi, action-themed film "Black Panther," co-produced by Marvel Studios and Walton Pictures, directed by Ryan Coogler, and starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya and others, officially started filming!"

“Variety Magazine: The start of filming of Black Panther marks the further expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s diversity and inclusion; the film will focus on the African country of Wakanda, showcasing its unique culture and technology.”

“Entertainment Weekly: The start of filming of Black Panther is a bold attempt by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, combining superhero movies with African culture and showcasing its unique charm and style.”

"..."

On the morning of April 4th, Los Angeles time, the entire Hollywood's attention was on the movie "Black Panther".

No one really expected that Marvel would actually make a movie based on the "Black Panther" theme, and use an all-African cast!
I have to say that this idea is indeed bold and novel.

You know, this is the first black lead actor in the superhero system, and his appearance is of epoch-making significance!

Looking around, it seems that all major social media platforms are already in a state of chaos.

There are many people who are scolding, but there are also many people who are supporting and approving:
"Damn you niggers! Why don't you get the hell out of Hollywood?"

"Although I am also a fan of Marvel, I cannot accept a black man as the lead actor, so I will definitely not watch the movie Black Panther."

"I can accept that Black Panther and Wakanda appear in The Avengers, but I can't accept that it became a standalone movie. It's too far-fetched."

"Oh my God! African Americans are finally accepted by Hollywood's 'superheroes'. I love Marvel! I love Black Panther!"

"I want to know how I can thank Marvel. Wouldn't it be enough to just buy movie tickets to support it?"

"Dear Fei, choosing you as the Chief Content Officer is absolutely the right decision for Marvel. This is so cool! Your existence deserves our respect from all African Americans!"

Although there was constant noise on the Internet, Chen Fei was not affected.

The filming of "Avengers 3" is still proceeding in an orderly manner, and daily plans are being completed smoothly. There is no criticism from the outside world at all.

For the sake of "The Avengers" and Marvel, "Black Panther" must be released, and no one can stop it from coming out.

What's more, judging from the survey results, there are obviously far more voices of support from the outside world than voices of opposition.

Therefore, he has no worries about the film being affected after its release.

As for the social unrest caused by the start of the filming of "Black Panther", as well as issues such as racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination, he threw them all out of his mind.

He is Chinese, neither white nor black, so these messed up things have nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, members of the "Justice League" project team, who have already started reshoots, are so excited when they see the public opinion triggered by the start of filming of "Black Panther"!
Especially Hamada.

When the online public opinion and abuse about "Justice League" finally disappeared, he was so excited that he almost cried!
"Oh my God! Thank you so much, those evil demons finally left the Justice League and went to devour the damn Marvel..."

After hearing this, Hamada's secretary quickly agreed: "Boss, with the arrival of Joss Whedon, we seem to be blessed by the goddess of luck again."

"Haha, you're right. The decision to change the director and production team is really great!"

Joss Whedon is a very hardworking director. After taking over Zack Snyder's job, he immediately plunged into the filming of the movie.

Now, reshoots of green screen scenes in the studio are already underway, and he has also promised DC that "Justice League" will be released on time.

Everything seems to be moving towards a bright future.

Hamada had a bright smile on his face, as if he had already seen the scene where "Justice League" would be a successful sale after its release.

However, what he didn't know was that at this time in Warner Studios, the reshoots of "Justice League" were not going so smoothly.

Inside the green screen tent, Joss Whedon directed the actors to perform various actions to satisfy his ideas.

However, what he did not notice was that in the corner, Ray Fisher, the black actor who played the role of "Cyborg", was staring at him resentfully, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Originally, Ray Fisher didn't care about changing directors and production teams.

Even if some scenes needed to be re-filmed, he would still be paid, so it was not difficult to accept. But what he never expected was that shortly after the re-shooting began, Joss Whedon actually informed him that 2/3 of the scenes of the role of "Cyborg" he played would be cut!

After learning the news, Ray Fisher couldn't hide his anger!
Originally according to Zack Snyder's style, Cyborg was going to be the main plot line, leading the development of the entire story.

However, under Joss Whedon's control, everything became completely different.

Not only did he change the direction of the plot, he also displayed suffocating authority and control on the set!
Ray Fisher also tried to argue with him, but Joss Whedon simply said: "Any objections? Believe it or not, I deleted all your scenes."

Faced with such overbearing words, as a young actor, he was undoubtedly scared away.

In addition to him, other actors in the crew would also encounter sudden scolding and threats from time to time.

For example, now, when the heroine Gal Gadot made some mistakes, Joss Whedon's dissatisfaction instantly erupted.

"Stop! Now! Immediately!"

He interrupted the filming without any hesitation, walked straight to Gal Gadot, and sternly scolded her: "Please perform according to my requirements, don't show off your lousy performances, understand?"

"But, Director..."

Gal Gadot was stunned by the sudden rebuke. She tried to explain her acting philosophy, but Joss Whedon interrupted her ruthlessly.

"Don't talk! I demand that you shut up right now! I'm the director and screenwriter, and if I tell you to shut up, you can't complain! Just recite the lines as I ask!"

Joss Whedon's voice echoed throughout the set, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.

"But..." Gal Gadot felt humiliated and angry. She tried to refute, but Joss Whedon accused her even more angrily: "I tell you clearly that you are just a vase in this movie. You only need to recite the lines!"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Gal Gadot's heart.

She felt that her dignity and talent were being ruthlessly trampled upon. She roared in anger, "You can't ask me to do this. Director Zack Snyder is right!"

"Haha, Zack? He's been fired from the crew. I'm the one in control now, do you understand?" Joss Whedon sneered and threatened, "Either you obey me, or I'll cut all your scenes. Make your choice."

Seeing the conflict escalating, producer Julian rushed over.

He pulled Gal Gadot aside and advised her to stay calm and not confront the director.

At the same time, the agent also rushed over, hoping that Gadot would just obey for the sake of the pay, and there was no need to resist...

Pressure from all sides forced Gal Gadot to compromise. She mechanically recited her lines according to Joss Whedon's requirements, but her eyes were full of helplessness and loss.

However, the dispute did not end there.

In the subsequent filming, Gal Gadot tried to show her talent as much as possible within the limited performance space.

She tried hard to understand the character and feel the plot, but Joss Whedon remained indifferent and critical of her.

Whenever she tried to express her opinion, Joss Whedon would interrupt her in an even harsher tone, and even threatened to keep her from getting any roles in Hollywood in the future!
This high-pressure shooting environment made Gal Gadot feel extremely depressed and painful, but she was powerless to change the situation.

She didn't even know why Joss Whedon was targeting her?
"Perhaps it was because you said in a media interview after the director of Justice League was changed that Joss Whedon was not as good as Zack Snyder, which aroused his anger and suppression."

Listening to her agent's words, Gal Gadot was very surprised: "But this is obviously the fact! Why is he so petty?"

"Don't you know? He is a very petty guy. I suggest you don't mess with her and just do your job."

"Damn! This is simply a devil!" Gal Gadot was very indignant, but helpless.

She has already started to miss Zack Snyder. I don't know what DC and Warner are thinking? They fired such a genius and replaced him with a stupid guy.

What’s even more outrageous is that what happened to Gal Gadot is just the tip of the iceberg.

Joss Whedon's strictness was not limited to one person, but was directed at all the actors and post-production personnel in the crew who were previously selected by Zack Snyder.

In particular, those actors who had expressed their dissatisfaction with him in public were harshly targeted.

For a time, the actors' dissatisfaction was accumulating, and the post-production staff's dissatisfaction was also accumulating!

No one knows whether this repressed state will produce a violent chemical reaction after being suppressed to the extreme?

However, when the news of what happened in the crew came back to Hamada's ears, it suddenly became: "Joss Whedon is indeed an experienced director. He took control of the entire crew in less than a week. Everyone obeyed his orders, and the reshoot went very smoothly..."

Hamada was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately reported the situation to Kevin Tsujihara.

"So what you're saying is that Justice League will definitely be released in November?"

"I'm very sure!" Hamada vowed: "Not only can the movie be released smoothly, but the running time can also be compressed to 2 hours, and the style is infinitely biased towards Marvel's family-friendly style."

"it is good!"

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Kevin Tsujihara's face.

Since the dark style is difficult for movie fans to accept, then family fun should be a good choice, right? After all, Marvel's success is already in front of us.

"Since everything is going well, let's start the publicity plan immediately. I can approve another $2 million for you. You must make this movie famous!"

"Okay!" Hamada responded seriously, but the next second a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face: "It just so happens that we can also take advantage of the popularity of "Avengers" and use the method of suppressing it to increase our popularity."

"Haha, that's a good plan."

Kevin Tsujihara smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time did not forget to put forward his opinions and ideas: "Remember, since we have chosen Joss Whedon, we should trust him and not interfere with him..."

"Yes, I have the same idea..."

Hamada strictly followed the advice of his leader.

As DC has developed over the years, various problems have emerged one by one, and the difficulty of solving them has increased continuously, which has given him a profound warning.

That is: getting rid of the dark and serious style and welcoming the relaxed and happy family atmosphere has become an urgent and realistic issue!

Now, the emergence of Joss Whedon has undoubtedly given DC hope of solving this problem.

~

At the same time, on the other side, inside the crew of "Avengers 3".

Listening to the information conveyed by the "spy" about the current situation of "Justice League", Chen Fei had only one thought in his mind.

"These guys are really a bunch of 'geniuses'!"

He has already worked with Joss Whedon on two movies, so he naturally knows that this guy is indeed very capable.

But Joss Whedon's strength comes from his control over the crew, not his control over the quality of the film.

He can't even be considered a qualified director because he has too many wild ideas in his mind!

If no one controls him, he will turn into a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, galloping towards a completely unfamiliar territory.

Therefore, his drastic improvements to "Justice League" will not only fail to help DC move towards a new future, but will also most likely push DC into the abyss!

Chen Fei was already looking forward to it.

I wonder if the board members at Warner Bros. headquarters will faint from anger after Justice League is released, facing the disastrous results? !
