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

Chapter 1062: Having a handsome face is indeed an advantage, but what’s the use if you don’t have the ability?

The first thing Chen Fei did after returning to China was to send Liu Yifei back to the villa and then drive straight to the company.

The post-production of "Lost in Hong Kong" and "White Snake: Origin" has been completed, and they are just waiting for him to return to China for review. Then they can be submitted to the Film Bureau for review and release date.

These two film projects are quite important, so he attaches great importance to and has high expectations for them.

On the way to the company, when refreshing his Weibo, Chen Fei saw related reports about Huang Xiaoming's new drama "Ancient Love Song".

In order to ensure that the ratings of this drama would not be affected, Huace deliberately avoided "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love" at the beginning of the year, as well as "In the Name of People" in March.

On June 6, the drama successfully premiered on Dragon TV and was simultaneously broadcast on Tencent Video.

But unfortunately, this TV series, starring Huang Xiaoming, Song Qian, Sheng Yilun, Zhang Li and others, and adapted from the big IP novel "Once Promised", did not have as high ratings as the outside world had speculated.

After being online for nearly a week, the highest ratings in the CSM52 ratings were only 0.8%, and the score on the Douban platform was only 0.6 points higher than "Midnight Diner" starring Huang Lei.

Among the 12790 people who participated in the Maoyan drama rating, 76% of the audience gave only one star rating.

From this we can see that this drama was completely ruined as soon as it was aired!
Netizens were not polite at all. They posted all kinds of negative comments and angry attacks as if they were free, directly poking at the leader's heart:
"It's still the same performance style as the leader. It's not easy for an actor to maintain a style, but it's also not easy to keep the same style, right? Haha..."

"I don't know the female lead. She looks pretty at first glance, but that's just first glance. Compared to your acting skills, okay, I was wrong. You still have acting skills. I beg the newcomers to go back and polish their acting skills before coming out again. Don't tell me that your acting skills are slowly improving. The audience is not your mother and is unwilling to accompany you to grow up slowly."

"I watched Yang Ying's "The Princess Weiyoung" at the beginning of the year, and now I'm watching the leader's "Ancient Love Song" in the middle of the year. Oh my God! I'm really desperate!"

"The special effects are poor, the acting is poor, the leader has a greasy face, and almost every screenshot of the heroine can be used to make emoticons, it's too exaggerated! The lines are also childish and ruin the novel! Oh, no, the novel is also insulting the emperor and ruining history! I sincerely suggest that the Huang Shi couple should be extras for 10 years to hone their acting skills, you are really sorry for the audience!"

"Haha, boom it's online! Then quietly it crashes again, it's so funny."

"..."

Huang Xiaoming was already very unhappy because of the disastrous ratings of "Ancient Love Songs", and then LeTV was delisted, which was a double unhappiness!
But what made him even more speechless was that Yang Ying was still causing trouble for him!
"Can't you just calm down? Isn't 'Entrepreneurial Era' enough for you to shoot? Why do you have to compete with Zhao Liying for 'Do You Know?' Now, Feiyue Films and Noon Sunshine have chosen to support Zhao Liying. Are you happy now? Does it feel good to be slapped in the face?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Ying's eyes widened as she heard what her son's father said, her face full of disbelief!
She never expected that when she chose to call for help, she would be scolded by Huang Xiaoming!

"Huang Xiaoming? What do you mean? Your wife was bullied? Are you just going to sit there and do nothing? Let me be suppressed by Zhao Liying?"

"Stupid!" Huang Xiaoming became angrier as he listened: "Don't think I don't know, it's obviously because you have poor acting skills and can't compete with them, and you were the first to be sarcastic online, so the other party fought back.

Do you really think I'm a god? Those are the two major film and television companies Feiyue Film and Noon Sunshine! Even I have to pretend to be a grandson in front of Chen Fei and Hou Hongliang. Who do you think you are? You still want to fight with them? Are you so powerful? "

As soon as these words came out, Yang Ying fell silent.

She naturally knew that she had to admit defeat this time.

But she just couldn't swallow the anger in her heart!
Why should she lose to Zhao Liying? That woman is neither as pretty as herself nor has a good husband like herself, so how can she be so arrogant?

What she never expected was that when she complained to Huang Xiaoming about her grievances, she would be scolded.

For a moment, the grievance in her heart became even stronger!

"You are so mean to me! Huang Xiaoming! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to a son. It's fine if you are not grateful to me, but you are so mean to me? Just wait! I want to divorce you! I don't want to live with you anymore!"

"Beep beep..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, the leader sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.

People say that you should marry a virtuous woman and live with a rational person for the rest of your life.

He thought that the wife he chose would be a good wife and mother, but he never expected that Yang Ying would change completely after giving birth to a baby!

She began to become irritable, arrogant, domineering, conceited, irrational, and causing trouble everywhere...

"If this continues, how will I live the rest of my life?"

At this moment, the leader's eyes were already filled with deep confusion!
……

As the second film in the "囧" series, the story framework of "Lost in Hong Kong" is actually very similar to "Lost in Thailand".

Wang Baoqiang has made so many comedy films that he already has his own unique understanding and cognition of "comedy effects". So even though this is his first time directing a film, he has demonstrated a very "experienced" approach.

During the 114-minute movie viewing, Chen Fei observed many unique highlights.

First of all, the plot of the film is very compact and layered.

Through a series of encounters of the protagonist in Hong Kong, the story skillfully combines personal emotions with urban changes, showing the struggle and growth of small people in the big city.

The plot is full of ups and downs, with both hilarious comedy scenes and touching emotional outbursts, making people successfully feel the ups and downs of life in laughter and tears.

Secondly, the character creation is very vivid and three-dimensional.

Looking around, each character in the film has a distinct personality and a unique background story. The interactions between them are full of chemical reactions, adding a rich sense of layering to the film.

In particular, the image of "Xu Lai" played by Huang Bo has the helplessness and confusion of ordinary people, but also the persistence and pursuit of dreams, which makes people subconsciously resonate with him.

Furthermore, the clever use of Hong Kong-style humor is also unique.

The humorous elements in the movie are both down-to-earth and creative. Whether it is the linguistic puns or the plot twists, they all make people laugh.

This unique style of humor not only adds a joyful atmosphere to the film, but also allows viewers to appreciate the charm of Hong Kong culture in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Finally, the film was produced with great care!
Both the scene layout and the costume design are full of strong Hong Kong style, making people feel as if they are on the bustling streets of Hong Kong.

At the same time, the dubbing also perfectly sets off the atmosphere and adds a lot to the film...

"Clap clap clap!"

After watching the movie, Chen Fei was the first to stand up and applauded with great satisfaction.

Seeing this, the rest of the people watching the movie naturally did not dare to be negligent and quickly joined in the applause and encouragement.

"This movie is really well made. I didn't expect that Baoqiang would show such excellent ability and level in his first directorial career. It's really surprising!"

“You can tell from the later stages that it was done with great care and effort.”

"In my opinion, this movie will definitely make no less than 10 billion yuan after its release! Maybe it will even break the box office record of the '囧 series' movies."

"..."

Listening to everyone's praise, Wang Baoqiang, who had specially run back from the crew of "A Good Show", had a smile on his face.

He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It's not as good as you said? Is it so exaggerated? In fact, there are still many places where I feel it is not handled well, and there are many shortcomings..."

"That's pretty good." Chen Fei patted his shoulder approvingly. "When we shoot the next movie, I believe you will be able to show even better performance."

Wang Baoqiang nodded seriously: "I hope it will be like what Director Chen said. I will definitely study hard."

"Well, good, keep up the good work."

As he spoke, Fade Chen looked at Su Guohai and said, "Old Su, I'll leave the matter of submitting the film for review to you. Just follow our previous agreement and continue with the Spring Festival schedule."

"Okay." Su Guohai grinned, "The Spring Festival movie market is quite big. One movie like 'The Invincible Warriors' and one movie like 'Lost in Hong Kong' will definitely be enough to satisfy your hunger."

"Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to have a meal first. We have to go watch the animation department's movie this afternoon."

"Oh! Right, right! I almost forgot, we have to include White Snake: Origin in the count. In that case, our company will have three movies competing for the Spring Festival schedule next year, hahahaha..."

A group of people chatted and laughed, and walked towards the elevator after leaving the screening room.

However, the moment the elevator door opened, both Zhong Lifang and the project managers of "Take My Brother Away" and "Time Travel Cohabitation" were stunned.

"Huh? Is the company so busy today?"

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and walked into the elevator.

"Mr. Chen? When did you come back?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, are you going to the cafeteria too?"

Fade Chen nodded gently: "Well, good afternoon... I came back this morning and went to the cafeteria to have a quick meal."

A group of people walked towards the cafeteria while chatting.

Chen Fei learned from several people that both the projects "Take My Brother Away" and "Time Raiders" have been successfully approved and are currently in the preparation and casting stage.

"We started preparing for this project relatively early, so it will be quicker. We chose Zhang Zifeng for the female lead and Peng Yuchang for the male lead. They are a good match, both in terms of image and acting skills."

Zhong Lifang first talked about the details of the project "Take My Brother Away", and the relevant casting work was almost finished. Then, after she finished speaking, the director of the "Time Travel Cohabitation" project team briefly talked about the situation of the project he was currently in charge of.

"The leading male and female roles have not been confirmed yet. There are quite a lot of people who have come to audition, and we are almost overwhelmed by the choices."

Chen Fei asked casually: "Oh? Who are they?"

"Almost all the male actors born in the 80s are here, such as Yang Yang, Huang Jingyu, Bai Yu, Luo Yunxi, Jia Nailiang, Zhang Ruoyun, Ma Tianyu..."

"We try to choose those who have worked with us more often and have a mild temper and personality. It doesn't matter if they are big-name actors or not, but they must have good acting skills, be less troublesome, don't cause trouble, and don't have a bad reputation."

"Yeah, okay... Director Su Lun is quite fond of Ma Tianyu, but I don't think this actor is good enough. He can't even memorize a small section of the script, and he speaks his lines haltingly. Just having a good-looking face is not enough."

Ma Tianyu?
After thinking about this person's "deeds" in his mind, Chen Fei agreed: "There are many handsome actors among them, just choose another one. What's the point of having him if he can't even remember the audition lines? We are a regular crew, not a retirement home."

"Yes, I think so too."

As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the cafeteria.

After the meal, except for Zhong Lifang, no one else came over, but quietly chose the table next to them.

While eating, Chen Fei also kept an eye on the movies that were released during the summer vacation.

“Are the promotions for the movies “So Young”, “Wolf Warrior 2” and “Zhu Xian” going smoothly?”

Upon hearing this, Su Guohai and Zhong Lifang said in unison: "Everything went smoothly."

"Okay, that's good. Tell me if you have any difficulties."

"By the way, Mr. Chen, we still need to remit some money to The Wandering Earth. Guo Fan has overspent the total budget by about 2000 million."

"Okay, let's go ahead. This movie is our next major project. We should do everything in a prudent way. Remember to give the green light to all procedures."

"it is good."

……

After taking a break for more than an hour at noon, Chen Fei came to the screening room again and watched the animated film "White Snake: Origin" which was completed by the animation department.

It was worth the huge amount of money he invested in the production.

Looking around, every frame in the film seems like a beautiful painting. Whether it is the landscape background or the character details, it shows a very high production standard.

The love story of White Snake and Xu Xuan transcends the boundaries of race and time. From meeting to knowing each other to falling in love, it is full of romance and touching moments. Especially the separation of life and death in the climax of the film is very moving, deeply demonstrating the power and greatness of love.

At the same time, while telling a love story, the plot also incorporates thoughts on the good and evil of human nature, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

Especially Xu Xuan's words, "Most of the evil people in the world have two legs, so what if they have a tail?", aroused Chen Fei's high recognition and praise from the bottom of his heart!
After watching the entire movie, it is obvious that the production team has put a lot of effort into scene design, character creation, sound effects and music, making the film as a whole present a high level of audio-visual enjoyment.

Especially the fighting scenes in the film, which are smooth and shocking, making people feel a very strong visual impact while watching the movie!
"Not bad, very good."

Chen Fei was generous in his praise and encouragement, and gave full recognition and praise to Li Yang and his production team.

"Compared to the film 'Ne Zha' directed by Yang Yu, I think this film still has some shortcomings. We plan to improve it in the second part and patch up the loopholes in the first part..."

Listening to Li Yang's description, Fade Chen nodded gently and encouraged: "No one is perfect. As long as you can find the problem and correct it, why worry about not being able to succeed?"

"Director Chen taught me that."

Chen Fei patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, now that the film is finished, you can take a good rest for a while. How about one month's paid leave for each person? Is it enough?"

"One month? Ouch! That's enough!"

"Haha! Thanks Director Chen!"

"I'm going to sleep with him till he's dizzy."

"I'm going to get a hair transplant and find a girlfriend and have a relationship."

"..."

Along with the laughter of the crowd, the finished films of "Lost in Hong Kong" and "White Snake: Origin" were also sent to the Film Bureau.

Before leaving the company, Chen Fei found Su Guohai and gave him a task outside of work...

"Great Hall? Okay, I'll follow up on this matter tomorrow."

"Okay, whether it succeeds or not, you must inform me in time."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. As long as it has this business, it will definitely be successful."

"Haha, that's true."

After leaving the company, Chen Fei first sent a message to Liu Yifei.

When he learned that she, Han Jianu and Shu Chang had gone to the cinema, Director Chen had to make an alternative route to pick them up.

By the time we picked up the person, it was already dark.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Fade Chen turned around and looked at the three "silly girls" behind him, and asked casually, "What are we going to eat?"

"How about steak?" Shu Chang suggested.

Fade Chen refused directly: "No, I won't be full."

Han Jianv asked, "Eat hot pot?"

"No! Why eat hot pot in such a hot day? Do you want to get angry?"

Chen Fei rejected two proposals in a row, and the two girls glared at him angrily!

"You don't want to eat this, and you don't want to eat that, so what do you want to eat?"

"That's right, it's so annoying!"

Liu Yifei glared at him in reproach and suggested, "How about we go eat private dishes?"

"Okay, this is good!"

Chen Fei responded with approval, a satisfied smile on his face.

However, when this smile fell into the eyes of Han Jianu and Shu Chang, it was so dazzling!

"You look just like the mummy in the movie The Mummy we just watched."

"What?" Fade Chen looked at the two of them curiously.

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "You really deserve a beating!"

Director Chen was so upset that he simply ignored them and took out his mobile phone to order food.

At the back of the seats, the three girls started chatting among themselves.

"Chang Chang? Did you pass your audition?"

"It should be about the same. Director Su Lun was quite satisfied with my audition. I think it shouldn't be a problem to get the role of 'Gu Xiaojiao'."

"Oh, congratulations in advance." Liu Yifei said, and then turned to look at Han Jianu: "Where is Jianu? Is your project going well?"

"It's going very smoothly. I have handed the project proposal to my father. It should be announced soon."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Liu Yifei nodded in response, and her eyes suddenly fell on Chen Fei: "Hello? Where's the script you promised to write for me? Is it not finished yet?"

"There are still some details to be adjusted. I'll give them to you in a few days when we get engaged."

Chen Fei turned around and replied, which immediately brought a bright smile to Liu's face.

At the same time, Shu Chang and Han Jianu looked at each other, and the fire of gossip suddenly burned fiercely!
"Sissi? Are you two going to get engaged?"

"When was the date chosen? How long is a few days later?"

"Do you want a Chinese or Western wedding? Do you need maids... Ugh! Do you need us to be bridesmaids? Do I need to prepare clothes in advance?"
