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

Chapter 1064: The in-laws are coming...Reject "Li Cha's Aunt"!
"Brother, look at this dress. I designed it myself. It's a cheongsam in the style of ink painting. It looks great under the camera, and the picture effect is very good."

"This light blue cheongsam is inspired by bamboo forests, and the material is also fibers extracted from bamboo, so the cost is relatively high, hehe."

"The most expensive one is this one! The embroidery on it is all done by hand by an embroiderer. It's a custom-made one, and the price is almost a million. After the shooting is over, I plan to ask the company to buy all these clothes so that I can wear them during the promotion later..."

On the morning of the 21st, as soon as Chen Fei arrived at the crew of "Sito", Jing Tian pulled him to see her costumes.

Because the character "Si Teng" is designed based on the "plant system" from beginning to end, there will be "plant" elements in the texture of the clothing fabric in each look.

At the same time, in order to show the correct "environmental protection" orientation during the creation process, there are no clothing such as fur and other types of fur in this drama.

Therefore, in the drama, Si Teng's styling is mostly based on cheongsam... When designing the costumes, the styling team made many improvements on the basis of cheongsam. For example, the cheongsam in the Republic of China scenes follows the traditional style, while the modern scenes add a little modern aesthetics to the cheongsam...

Therefore, what appeared before Chen Fei were more than 80 sets of different costumes!

From cheongsam to cloaks, to Hanfu, windbreakers, etc., everything is available!
After looking around, Chen Fei was a little dazzled.

But there was one thing that left a deep impression on him, and that was that these clothes looked like they had originally belonged to Jing Tian!

There is no shortage of actresses with good figures, good temperament and high looks in the entertainment industry, but Jing Tian can definitely be ranked in the top three among those who can hold up the cheongsam and wear it with her own unique temperament!

This is not an exaggeration at all. After all, so far, no actress has dared to market herself as the "cheongsam goddess".

As soon as "Sito" was released, Jing Tian undoubtedly took over this character first.

"No need to buy." Fade Chen interrupted suddenly, "These cheongsams are tailor-made for you. No one else can wear them. I will tell the company later and give them to you after the shoot."

"Ah?" Jing Tian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "It's very expensive! Nearly 10 million."

"It's okay. Isn't your birthday coming up soon? Just consider it as my birthday present to you."

"Huh? Do you remember my birthday?"

"Yifei told me before that she's still thinking about what birthday present to get you. It just so happens that I'll give you all these clothes."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Jing Tian felt a little disappointed. She thought Chen Fei had gone to inquire about it on purpose, but it turned out that he had heard it from others.

But soon, the feeling of loss in her heart disappeared.

No matter what, she doesn't have to spend money to buy these clothes from the company, and she can save 10 million yuan. What's more, it was Chen Fei who gave them to her... It makes her happy just thinking about it (><).

She was jumping for joy here, while on the other side, Chen Fei was already chatting with Li Muge.

"I heard that Director Li graduated from Peking University with a degree in computer information management, right? How come he became a director after graduation?"

"Ah, it's really helpless." Li Muge sighed and fell into memories: "I was fascinated by watching videos and movies when I was in elementary school, and I was full of infinite yearning for the world in images.

But at that time, my parents did not agree with me to apply to art college. After all, my college entrance examination scores were enough to enter Tsinghua University and Peking University, so I had to apply for the computer information management major.

Then when I went to college, I studied computer science and directing-related majors. Finally, with the help of teacher Gao Xixi, I successfully realized my dream. "

Chen Fei smiled and praised him, "Your life experience is really good. When you retire, you can publish an autobiography."

"Oh, I dare not." Li Muge waved his hands repeatedly: "If you want to publish an autobiography, you have to be a top director like you. How can I be qualified?"

Chen Fei patted his shoulder and laughed: "Don't underestimate yourself. After the filming of this drama is finished, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely become a big star in the film and television industry."

Hearing these meaningful words, Li Muge's eyes suddenly lit up!
Chen Fei’s meaning is very clear, the company is going to vigorously promote this drama "Sito".

And as a director, he will definitely benefit from this, that's inevitable.

Thinking of this, he immediately promised earnestly: "Don't worry, Director Chen, I will definitely make this drama well and will definitely not let you and the company down."

"great, good luck."

After encouraging him again, Chen Fei inexplicably thought of the movie "My Human Fireworks" directed by him several years later.

This drama is so detailed and full of flaws, it really left a deep impression on me!

~

After spending a morning on the set of "Sito", giving some pointers to Li Muge and imparting some acting experience to Jing Tian, ​​Chen Fei left in the afternoon.

Liu Yifei was almost ready, and it was naturally time for him to return to the capital.

"Senior brother." Before getting on the car, Jing Tian suddenly called out to his back.

Chen Fei turned around subconsciously and saw her blessing with a bright smile: "I wish you and Sister Yifei a happy engagement. I will be there when you get married."

"Well, you're welcome to come."

Chen Fei was a little afraid to look at her eyes. He got in the car, closed the door, and quickly signaled the driver to leave quickly.

Outside the car window, Jing Tian sniffed and followed Li Muge and others into the studio, muttering, "The scenery in Shangri-La is pretty good, but the wind and sand are a bit strong, and things are always flying into my eyes..."

Li Muge seemed to realize something, turned his head to look at her, then quickly turned back, pretending not to care and echoed: "It's okay, I'll ask the makeup artist to touch up your eye makeup later."

"Oh."

Jing Tian nodded slightly, with mixed thoughts in his mind...

……

After landing at the airport and confirming the pick-up time with Liu Yifei, Chen Fei first went back to the courtyard and talked to the old man about meeting the in-laws.

"Sure! How many people will come from my in-laws' place tomorrow? Let them stay here. It's very spacious here and we can accommodate as many people as possible."

The old man acted very generous, but if you looked closely you could see that there was an obvious nervousness in his extremely fast speaking speed.

Fade Chen chuckled and said, "No need. I have a place to stay in the capital. I will invite everyone to my house and have a meal together."

"Okay! I'll cook for you myself?"

"No, I'll ask the chef to come and make it."

"Then what should I do?" The old man was obviously a little panicked. He always felt weird if he didn't do anything.

"Just chat with them, tell them about the engagement date and some of the customs over there, and discuss with them what gifts to prepare in return. Take out all the good things at home. Don't be stingy..."

"Hey! You kid!" The old man slapped him on the back of his head: "When have I ever been stingy? How can I be stingy when marrying a wife?"

Chen Fei covered the back of his head, speechless: "Hey? You old man, I'm just describing you. When did I ever say you were stingy?"

"Okay, okay, okay. I got it. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

The old man nodded repeatedly. After all, he had been the "wedding steward" in the village many times before and was quite familiar with wedding customs.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go prepare some things and then go to the company."

"Yeah, go ahead, go ahead."

The old man waved his hand, picked up the scissors, and started trimming the flower bed in the yard again.

He had someone tidy up and clean all the rooms. Everything was in order and he was just waiting for his in-laws to arrive.

……

The next day, Fade Chen drove to the company.

Happy Twist is quite productive. "The Shameful Iron Fist" was recently scheduled for release, and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is currently in preparation... They even sent over another script!

After reading it, Su Guohai was a little unsure, so he told Chen Fei the news.

This new project sent by Happy Twist is different from the previous "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Shameful Iron Fist". Su Guohai always feels weird, and the plot doesn't seem to be as good as he imagined...

So, with his request for help, Chen Fei came to the company, ready to see what this new project was like.
However, what surprised Chen Fei was that as soon as he parked the car and walked into the company, he ran into Ning Hao who was walking out happily.

"Hey? Isn't this Director Ning? Why are you here at the company instead of staying at home to take care of the kids?"

"I typed up an application."

Ning Hao raised the file bag in his hand and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Crazy Alien?"

"That's right, hasn't the script been finalized? I plan to take it to the Film Bureau for review first, and then start the preparatory work immediately." "Why don't you take a break for a while?" Chen Fei deliberately teased him.

"No, no, work is better..."

Ning Hao subconsciously rubbed his dark circles, thinking back to the "dark moments" of the past few months and his almost shrunken waist. He really missed the busy days back then.

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei unceremoniously taunted him, which earned him a few rolls of the eyes from Director Ning, as well as a vicious complaint:

"Just wait, when you get married, you will definitely have good things to bear!"

"I'm not as weak as you."

"Humph!"

Ning Hao left in a rage. After all, how could a 40-year-old man compare with a 30-year-old man?
……

After watching Director Ning leave, Fade Chen got on the elevator and headed straight to Su Guohai's office.

Fortunately, he met the director of the "Time Raiders" project and director Su Lun in the elevator.

"Mr. Chen, good afternoon."

"Director Chen, nice to meet you. You are so handsome! Much more handsome than what I saw in the movies."

Su Lun looked like a little fangirl who had seen her idol. No wonder she chose Ma Tianyu's face when choosing the male lead...

Fade Chen stretched out his hand and shook hers. "You are much younger than I thought. There are not too many female directors in the industry. I hope you can become one of the representatives in the future."

“Thank you very much for your encouragement.”

Su Lun smiled happily as if he had seen his idol.

"Have the actors been confirmed?" Chen Fei asked.

"The leading female role has been confirmed, and Shu Chang has been chosen. The leading male role will almost be decided today, and we are preparing for the final round of auditions."

"great, good luck."

"Yeah, I will definitely do it!"

When the elevator was halfway there, Su Lun and the others left first, while Fade Chen continued to head towards the upper floors.

In the corridor, Su Lun muttered excitedly: "Brother Li! I think Director Chen is quite suitable for the role of 'Lu Ming' in our movie, what do you think?"

"It's indeed quite suitable..." Producer Li Jie nodded, but then he forced her to stop thinking: "Just keep this idea in your mind, don't tell others, otherwise you will be laughed at."

"why?"

"Do you think Director Chen will agree to play the role of Lu Ming?"

"Forehead……"

Su Lun was suddenly speechless.

Indeed, you can just fantasize about it. How could such a big star come to the crew of "Time Raiders" to play the leading male role?
Isn't this just wishful thinking?
……

"Li Cha's aunt?"

In Su Guohai's office, Fade Chen looked at the script in his hand and frowned.

"Yes, this story is also adapted from the stage play of the same name by Happy Twist. It mainly tells a series of stories between a group of people who covet the aunt's property and the 'fake rich aunt'."

Nodding slightly, Fade Chen opened the script and read it carefully.

Li Cha is a poor boy, while his aunt Monica is the richest woman in the world. However, the two have never met each other since Li Cha can remember.

Li Cha was planning to hold an engagement party with Lulu, the second daughter of Wang Andi, chairman of the Dazha Group, so he invited his aunt to attend.

The reason why Wang Andy agreed to marry his daughter to Li Cha was because his Dazha Group was facing a serious financial crisis. He wanted to take this opportunity to please Li Cha's aunt and get financial help...

More than half an hour later, Fade Chen finished reading the script and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Overall, the selling point of this story is actually the contrast caused by "life misalignment".

But what he was not satisfied with was that the jokes and comedy gags in the plot looked very old-fashioned and awkward, very clichéd and lacked novelty.

In addition, the various jokes are also speechless, such as those about men and women, ethics, etc., which are simply piled on top of each other, as if for the sake of laughing.

Moreover, the story's concept and theme are also very vulgar and utilitarian. It seems to be trying to explore the relationship between money and human nature through a series of absurd plots, but what is finally presented is a blind pursuit of money and a distortion of human nature...

Chen Fei can assert that these plots are not only difficult to arouse the audience's deep thinking and resonance, but are likely to make people feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

Thinking of this, he closed the script and shook his head slightly at Su Guohai: "The quality of this script is too poor."

Su Guohai nodded and agreed, "I also feel it's a bit strange. I feel that this script does not reach the high standards of "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist" at all."

"The story adaptation, joke setting, character creation, and theme are all bad. Tell Zhang Chen that Feiyue Film and Television cannot participate in this project. Ask him to think about it carefully."

"Yeah, okay, I'll contact him right away."

Throwing the script of "Li Cha's Aunt" on the table, Fade Chen walked out and came to his office.

He had already written "Where the Wind Runs", and it was time to print it all out, bind it, and give it away as a gift.

Of course, he doesn't need to do such a small thing himself, his assistant can handle it.

And his current task is to draw the storyboard of "Manchester by the Sea"!

……

At this time, Happy Twist.

Zhang Chen was quite happy when he received Su Guohai's call.

But soon, when Su Guohai made it clear that Chen Fei did not fancy the project of "Li Cha's Aunt" and Feiyue Film and Television would not participate in the investment, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Boss Su, do you mean that Director Chen is not optimistic about this script?"

"That's right." Su Guohai explained: "Compared with "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist", the story presented in this script is not very good..."

These words were relatively tactful. After all, they were partners, and Su Guohai didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of Happy Twist.

"Okay, let's hold a meeting within the company to discuss whether we should continue this project."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen directly called Wu Yuhan, Qian Chenguang, Wu Jinrong, Huang Cailun, Allen and others to the conference room and relayed to them Su Guohai's original words that he was not optimistic about the project.

Hearing this, several people panicked and started talking at once:
"Mr. Zhang? I admit that compared to "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist", the quality, popularity, and humor of "Li Cha's Aunt" are indeed not as good as the former two, but it should not be too bad, right?"

"That's right, it's not the upper level, but it should be the middle level, right?"

"Feiyue Films only produces 'high-quality' films, so it's normal that they look down on 'Li Cha's Aunt'. Why don't we find another investor? The script has been written, and the project is almost confirmed. It's impossible to just cancel it, right?"

"I agree with Huang Cailun's point of view. If Happy Twist cannot afford the investment itself, then it can find other investors. It's not like it has to rely on Feiyue Film and Television."

"Yes, although Feiyue Films is a shareholder of Happy Twist, didn't they agree not to interfere with the operation of our company?"

After much persuasion from everyone, Zhang Chen finally made a decision.

“I promised you before that I would give opportunities to anyone who works at Happy Twist. Since you are confident that you can do a good job on the project of Li Cha’s Aunt, I will definitely support you.

How about this, send the script for review first, and I’ll contact other investors…”

At this moment, Cao Huayi of New Classics Media suddenly appeared in Zhang Chen’s mind.

The other party had expressed to him the idea of ​​cooperation many times. Now it seems that they can discuss the project of "Li Cha's Aunt"...
