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

Chapter 1063: Can you still hold on to your kingdom? Wrap-up conference... Make some tough statements! Do you like sequel film and TV series projects?

"Yesterday, the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival kicked off smoothly in Shanghai, with hundreds of Chinese entertainment stars attending...Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, who won the Palme d'Or at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival, led the jury members to attend the red carpet ceremony."

"At 10 a.m., the Film Bureau announced the latest list of scripts that have passed review, and the script "Nobody" submitted by Han Jianu's studio was on the list!"

"Han Jianu's studio subsequently announced that the comedy and drama film "Nobody" will be open to the mainland film and television industry for casting starting today, and welcomes all colleagues, actor studios, and brokerage companies to submit resumes and participate in auditions."

With the official release of "Nobody", many actors in the industry turned their attention to it.

You know, screenwriter Han just won the Best Screenwriter Award from Cannes not long ago, and the movie "Dying to Survive", which won the Palme d'Or, was written by her personally.

This means that she has completely established herself in the film industry!
It is no exaggeration to say that this "Nobody" must be a rare and big resource and a big cake in the circle that cannot be missed!

At this time, China Film.

When La Peikang saw the "Nobody" project for the first time, he became excited and immediately asked his secretary to prepare the car as he wanted to go to Han Sanping's house.

He already regretted missing out on "Dying to Survive", and it would be really stupid to miss out on "The Unknown" again!
However, when the secretary heard the boss's order, he reminded her in time:
"Boss La, you may not have looked carefully. The screenwriter of this film, Nobody, is Director Chen Fei, not Han Jianu, who directed and acted in it. And just now, Feiyue Films also issued the same notice..."

Hearing this, Chairman Lada, who was originally extremely excited, instantly died down.

If the film is written by Chen Fei, directed by Han Jianu, and invested by Feiyue Films, then China Film Group will definitely not be involved in this project.

Even if he went to find Han Sanping, it would be useless. After all, that mountain eagle would never give face to outsiders when it came to matters concerning his daughter.

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, he walked to the French window, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind swarmed uncontrollably.

At this moment, the bustling and noisy film market within the industry is in sharp contrast to his current mood.

"It seems that since the past two years, the film and television industry has become more and more prosperous. Good film projects have no shortage of investors. As soon as they are released, a lot of people will rush in waving money..."

He muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his voice.

The secretary standing nearby heard this and continued, "Indeed, the current film market is full of excellent works, the audience's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and blockbusters are springing up like mushrooms after rain. The emergence of each movie seems to herald another leap forward for the industry!"

"Haha, but in this wave of prosperity, China Film Group has become increasingly dim. It seems that all film and television companies are now resisting us. The companies and first-line commercial directors that used to attract investment have disappeared. Only a group of old men who make art films are still persevering..."

La Peikang's voice was very low and weak, as if every word carried a heavy burden!

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the former glory of China Film.

At that time, they were the leaders in the industry, and every work they produced could cause a sensation.

But now, the market structure has undergone tremendous changes. Emerging film and television companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. They have quickly occupied market share with innovative ideas and advanced technologies.

On the other hand, China Film Group...seems to have lost its way in this transformation.

Since last year, the unstoppable weakening trend has already emerged, and this year, there has been a qualitative change!
Half a year has passed, but apart from "Shanghai Fortress" which is currently being prepared, China Film has no other major projects or big-investment film and television productions.

If this goes on for a long time, the sun is bound to set!
The secretary stopped talking because he couldn't take this line.
After all, the decline of China Film Group did not happen overnight. Long-term complacency, lack of innovation, and management loopholes are all important factors leading to the current situation.

But who can make drastic changes to this situation?

If Han Sanping was here, maybe things would turn around, but La Peikang... Tong Gang said something very good about him:

"Being able to defend the China Film Group's empire is already a great achievement!"

……

The Shanghai International Film Festival also sent an invitation to Chen Fei, but unfortunately, because he had a lot of things to deal with, he had to ask Su Guohai to make the trip on his behalf.

In the morning, after attending the premiere of "Transformers 5", he flew to Shanxi Province in the afternoon to check the filming progress of "The Wandering Earth".

This time, Fade Chen did not sneak in like he did when the filming started, but walked in through the main door openly.

After receiving the news, Guo Fan led a group of actors from the crew to wait outside the door in advance and expressed a warm welcome to his arrival!
"Director Chen! You're finally here!"

Seeing Guo Fan's face full of bitterness, Fade Chen took out a bank card from his pocket with a smile and handed it to him: "Here, give it to the finance department to enter it into the account, don't delay the filming progress."

"Oh! Okay! Thank you so much!"

Guo Fan put away the bank card with tears of gratitude, turned around and handed it to his assistant, and the bitterness on his face immediately disappeared.

As soon as the money arrived, his confidence came along.

"I heard from President Su that the filming has reached its final stages?"

As Fade Chen spoke, he looked around.

There were a lot of familiar faces there, but there were also some people who were not on the set.

"Yes, that's right. It is expected to be completed in July."

Guo Fan nodded in response, and briefly introduced the progress of the filming to Fade Chen, as well as where the 2000 million yuan would be mainly spent...

After entering the set, I took a rough tour and watched some of the currently shot materials. This visit was almost over.

"Where's Wu Jing? And where did that little girl go? Why can't I see them?"

"Brother Jing has a promotional event for Wolf Warrior 2 today, so he's on leave. Zhao Jinmai is back at the company to audition for the second female lead in the movie Take My Brother Away."

"I was wondering why I didn't see anyone on the set..."

In the evening, Chen Fei ate a box lunch with everyone else on the crew, then hurried to the airport and headed straight to Huang Bo's "A Good Show" crew.

After visiting the set of "A Good Show", he had to fly to Shangri-La to visit the crew of "Sito".

Liu Yifei is not in the capital these days, but has returned to her hometown to prepare for her engagement. The two will reunite in the capital in a few days.

At the same time, just as the flight from Shanxi Province to Hengdian took off, flying over the film and television building, the audition of the "Take My Brother Away" project team finally came to an end.

Zhong Lifang first exchanged a glance with director Zheng Funfen, and after receiving an affirmative look from the other party, she turned to look at Zhao Jinmai who had just finished her performance.

"Congratulations, you've passed the audition. The role of 'Miao Miaomiao' is yours."

"Ah? Really?" Zhao Jinmai smiled happily: "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, thank you, Director Zheng, thank you very much for your recognition of me."

"You're welcome." Zheng Funfen chuckled and reminded, "I'll have my assistant give you the complete script later. Remember to memorize the lines and stay as outgoing and cheerful as you are now. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will definitely not let you down."

Zhao Jinmai secretly felt fortunate that her cheerful personality brought her a lot of convenience.

For example, in the previous "The Wandering Earth", when competing with Zhang Zifeng, she successfully won the role of "Han Duoduo" by relying on her cheerful and lively attitude.

Although she has some shortcomings in acting, her original character makes up for many of her flaws.

After getting the complete script, she said goodbye and headed straight for the airport.

"Mr. Zhong, what about the other actors who didn't pass the audition? Do you want to notify them now? Or..."

"We'll let them know when we announce the cast the day after tomorrow. Today and tomorrow we'll go through the project from beginning to end to find any loopholes or anything."

"Ok."

Zheng nodded, called other members of the project team, and began to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

……

It was quite a coincidence that after Chen Fei rested for a night in Hengdian, he arrived at the crew of "A Good Show" the next morning and ran into the wrap-up press conference that was being prepared!

"Hey? I was thinking of coming to visit you guys, but I didn't expect you guys had just finished filming?"

“Haha!” Huang Bo laughed so hard that his face was wrinkled. “You should have informed me in advance. If I had known you were coming today, I would have postponed the wrap-up for a day.”

Wang Baoqiang, who was standing nearby, scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It's also my fault. I didn't tell you, Director Chen, when I went back."

"That's fine. Since we've wrapped up, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go find a hotel and have a meal together. We'll treat it to a wrap-up party for you." "Hey! That's great!" Huang Bo quickly shouted to the other members of the crew, "Everyone, hurry up. Director Chen is treating us tonight. Let's go and have a meal together. Haha..."

Since I'm on the set, I naturally have to show up and stand on the stage at the wrap-up press conference.

However, when Chen Fei walked to the front from the backstage of the press conference, the media reporters at the scene suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief!

Although everyone knew that he had returned from Hollywood, no one expected that he would appear at the wrap conference of "A Good Show".

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot.

After all, this is the first time that Chen Fei has appeared in front of the domestic media after winning the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival!
"Director Chen, after the end of Avengers 3, how will you plan to develop your next film?"

"Director Chen! Can you please tell us what you think after winning the Palme d'Or?"

"Director Chen, when will Avengers 3 be released?"

"Director Chen, what do you think about the box office performance of the two films "Dying to Survive" and "Ready Player One" during the Lunar New Year this year? Do you think "Youth" and "Legend of the Demon Cat" will have a significant impact on your work?"

"Regarding the controversy over Yang Ying and Zhao Liying's 'role-grabbing', can you give an objective evaluation?"

Chen Fei had already anticipated this situation. Once he went on stage, he would definitely steal the limelight from everyone in the "A Good Show" crew.

This is also inevitable.

But the good thing is that "A Good Show" can also take advantage of this opportunity to gain a huge wave of traffic.

"After all, today is Director Huang's film wrap-up press conference, so I won't steal the show, and I won't answer questions that are not related to the film today.

Today I am here to recommend this movie to you. As Huang Bo’s second work, he has put a lot of effort into it. I hope you can give it some attention and support…”

After speaking briefly, under the disappointed gaze of the media reporters, Fade Chen put down the microphone, bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and walked straight to the backstage.

However, he just turned around and took a few steps, and he felt that this would not be able to cause the traffic to explode!

After thinking for a while, he turned around and went back to the stage and took the microphone handed to him by Zhang Yixing.

“It doesn’t seem right to leave like this, so let me answer the question about the Lunar New Year movie season.

As for the situations of "Youth" and "Legend of the Demon Cat", I won't comment casually, after all, these two films are not the products of my company.

Today, let’s just talk about “Dying to Survive”. I can say something ruthless here! The box office of this movie will definitely be No.1 in the box office performance ranking of this year’s Lunar New Year holiday!

thank you all. "

After saying that, Fade Chen returned the microphone to Zhang Yixing, turned around again, and strode towards the backstage.

At this moment, the entire wrap-up press conference was already boiling with excitement!
These "harsh words" are so challenging that they make people excited just by listening to them!

……

The next morning, as expected, the hot search exploded again!

"Yesterday, the comedy film "A Good Show", jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television and Modu Hanna Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., directed and starred by Huang Bo, and starring Chen Cao, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yixing, Yu Hewei, Wang Xun and others, was officially announced to be completed in Hengdian."

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance at the wrap-up press conference and strongly recommended A Good Show..."

"In response to reporters' questions, director Chen Fei made a 'hard statement': Dying to Survive will surely beat many Chinese-language films such as Youth and Legend of the Demon Cat, and top the box office rankings for this year's Lunar New Year holiday! Who dares to start a fight?"

"Feiyue Films released a notice: The crew of the youth, comedy, fantasy film "Take My Brother Away" officially completed all actor auditions the day before yesterday. Peng Yuchang, Zhang Zifeng, Zhao Jinmai, Sun Zeyuan and other actors will join the filming of the film..."

"Yaolai Pictures and Jiaxing Media jointly announced: The action and science fiction film "Reverse Time Rescue" directed by Yin Hongcheng and starring Yang Mi, Huo Jianhua and Jin Shijie will hold a premiere press conference in Shanghai on the 24th of this month. We sincerely invite colleagues in the industry to attend."

On the way to the crew of "Sito", Chen Fei saw the entertainment news reports on the Internet.

As he expected, what he said yesterday was "artistically processed" by the media.

Obviously, he did not specifically mention "Youth" and "Legend of the Demon Cat", but when the media wrote about it, it became like he was issuing a declaration of war against Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kai.

“What a bunch of people.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Fei put away his phone and continued to work on the finishing touches of the script of "Go Where the Wind Is".

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang, who had been thinking about changing the schedule, was completely desperate.

All media outlets have already issued the "declaration of war" on behalf of Chen Fei. If he adjusts his schedule now, wouldn't that mean he's a coward?

When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Now, we are completely set up. We have to compete this time, whether we want to or not...

At the same time, on the other side, in the 21st Century Shengkai Pictures, Brother Chen Kai was also frowning and checking the news reports on the Internet.

He believed that words like "challenge" would never be said by Chen Fei himself, but now, he was also put on the spot, and he had to compete even if he didn't want to...

"Alas! This group of media outlets has gone too far. They wantonly distort the truth and stir up public opinion. Their press credentials should be revoked!"

Director Chen was just complaining, but at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The office door was slowly pushed open, and Chen Hong, with a smile on her face, said as soon as she entered the door: "Brother Kai, the premiere of the movie "Secret Fruit" starring Fei Yu has been confirmed, and it will be held in the capital on July 7.

There is also the fantasy TV series "Ever Night" adapted from a big IP. All preparations have been completed and it is just waiting for the project to be announced to the public..."

Hearing this, Brother Chen Kai did not respond, but pondered for a moment.

A few minutes later, he reminded, "Tell Golden Pond Media Company to postpone the release of this project for a few days until Secret Fruit is released."

"Hmm?" Chen Hong was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"Leave a way out for Feiyu, and also leave some protection."

Brother Chen Kai has already seen the finished film of "Secret Fruit". He doesn't know what the mentality of other audiences and movie fans will be after watching this work. Anyway, he himself is somewhat dissatisfied.

It might be a bit difficult to replicate the box office performance of "The Left Ear"!

At the same time, the post-00s young actresses who had previously auditioned for the second female lead 'Mian Miaomiao' in "Go Brother!" received calls from the crew at almost the same time.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you... Sorry for bothering you..."

In the crew of "My 200 Million Years Old Classmate", Li Gengxi couldn't help but let out a long sigh after putting down his phone.

As she expected, when facing Zhao Jinmai, she, a nobody in the entertainment industry, was not qualified to compete for the role.

However, at this moment, Xu Jinglei's voice rang in her ears: "Xixi, don't be sad. Auntie has found another TV drama project for you. After the filming of "My Classmate is 200 Million Years Old" is finished, you can directly join the next crew."

"Huh? Really? What project?"

Li Gengxi turned around excitedly and looked at Xu Jinglei beside him.

"You must have heard of the movie 'So Young' that was released last year, right?"

"Yeah, it's starring Jin Shijia and Mou Girl Ni Ne, and the box office seems to be close to 4 million!"

Xu Jinglei nodded slightly: "That's right, this time I found a project for you, which is a TV series adapted from a movie of the same name, "So You Are Still Here". Since there is a successful precedent before, this drama will definitely be good."

"Yeah, thank you Aunt Xu!"

Li Gengxi's face was full of smiles.

She likes sequels to successful films and TV series, or films and TV series of the same type, the most.

Because given that the previous game was a success, the sequel will definitely not be any worse!
