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

Chapter 1074 I'm not interested in watching you and your girlfriend fighting on the bed...

"Has the premiere date for The Founding of an Army been confirmed?"

"Boss La, it's confirmed. The invitations have been sent out. It will be three days later than Wolf Warrior 2, on the 3th of this month."

Inside the China Film Office, listening to the secretary's words, La Peikang nodded slowly, a rare smile appearing on his face.

As the final chapter of the "Founding of a Nation Trilogy" series, he had high hopes and support for "The Founding of an Army".

The 90th anniversary of the founding of the army is approaching, and the authorities need such a pure main theme movie to add some color to this year's Army Day.

Although it was mentioned above, there is no requirement for the movie box office, it only needs to be used for publicity.

But La Peikang wants to take this opportunity to make China Film Group popular again!
As a distributor and investor, he had high hopes for this film, and he had finally obtained the two major policies of "key extension" and "relevant departments booking the entire theater."

Therefore, he is very confident now. After all, his previous two films, "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party", both achieved very good results.

Moreover, many young actors were added to "The Founding of an Army", which is very helpful for the box office results.

But at this time, the secretary reminded: "Boss La, we may need to compete with Wolf Warrior 2 this time. Do we need to do anything for that movie?"

“No, there’s no need to waste your energy.” La Peikang waved his hand casually: “Wolf Warrior 1 only made 6 million at the box office. As a sequel, can it possibly reach 20 billion?
According to my estimation, this movie will probably make around 10 billion at the most, and then it will be a failure.

The summer vacation is in full swing, so we don’t need to pay attention to that movie. We just need to do our own thing. The existing cinema market is large enough for both movies to coexist peacefully.”

The secretary was still a little worried. After all, Han Sanping had previously said that "Wolf Warrior 2" had great box office potential.

He added tentatively: "But I saw that the expectations for this movie online are quite high..."

"Xiao Li, it's not good to enhance others' prestige and destroy your own ambition."

After these words were spoken, the secretary was completely speechless.

The boss has already raised the level to such a high level that he can't and dare not take it.

At the same time, on the other side, within Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Qi also began the final mobilization.

"Everyone, the movie version of Eternal Love is about to be released, we must not slack off, the popularity and publicity must be followed up in place, and the publicity and promotion department must also strive to schedule more screenings...

We won a great victory in the TV series version, and we want to win in the movie version this time too. I want the chairman of Feiyue Film and Television to personally admit defeat to me on Weibo and admit that their production ability is not as good as mine... Think about it, what kind of situation will that be?
Alibaba Pictures will surely become famous because of this!"

After a series of "deceptive" words came out of his mouth, he successfully mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.

The higher Chen Fei's current achievements, the more popularity and fame Alibaba Pictures will gain when he admits defeat.

The senior executives of Alibaba Pictures were so excited that they could hardly suppress their excitement when they thought about the fact that a big director would bow down to them!
But then someone asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang, your bet is just a verbal agreement after all, without any evidence. What if the other party denies the existence of such a thing?"

“Hahahahaha!” Zhang Qi laughed cheerfully, “Don’t admit it? Then his face will only fall even more miserably. The ridicule and contempt in the industry will turn into spit and drown him directly!”

As he spoke, he was still a little worried, so he immediately ordered: "When promoting it, you can appropriately reveal more inside information about the 'betting'. Let's stir up public opinion first, and then he will have to admit it even if he doesn't want to!"

Because of the successful experience of the TV series version, Zhang Qi is very confident about this box office competition.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen the scene where Chen Fei posted on all platforms to admit defeat to him.

And due to this, he will also become famous in the circle!

"By the way, is there any uncooperativeness from Jing Tian?"

The leading actress set up a studio and signed a contract with Feiyue Film and Television, which undoubtedly made Zhang Qie very worried.

"No, she is very cooperative and follows every activity very seriously. She even stopped filming her new drama."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, she is a very dedicated actor. I can still look for her if there is a suitable role in the future."

"Yeah, I think so too. She is indeed a very dedicated actress."

The head of the publicity and promotion department nodded slightly, showing considerable approval of Jing Tian.

Afterwards, after confirming the publicity and promotion process and the premiere ceremony again, Zhang Qi turned around and left the meeting room and went straight to the office.

Next month, Alibaba Pictures will sign a very important cooperation agreement with Jingxi Culture Co., Ltd., and will carry out in-depth cooperation in the fields of film investment, production, publicity, derivatives, and film-game interaction, and jointly build a new infrastructure for the Chinese film industry...

As one of the leaders, he naturally needs to follow up the whole process.

Although Song Ge's methods are evil and dirty, he has a very unique set of insights and operating methods in the "film and television + stock market".

Zhang Qi believes that after reaching cooperation with Song Ge, Alibaba Pictures will definitely reach a higher level in terms of movie box office and stock market returns in the future!

……

Once actors and directors join the crew, they usually have a distorted perception of the passage of time.

Chen Fei, who was filming for "Manchester by the Sea", had a feeling that time was passing by quickly.

Sometimes a whole day passes by unknowingly, and by the time you react, it's already dark...

At this time, after several days of filming, the plot has reached a very "contradictory" state!

In the gloomy and dull town of Manchester, the fates of the uncle and nephew are intertwined into a complex picture.

My nephew is young and full of energy. He likes this city, his new life and dreams here. His friends, classmates, and even his beloved girlfriend are willing to accompany him and live a wonderful life here together...

However, for the male protagonist Lee Chandler, Manchester became a shackle that controlled him!

Whenever night falls, loneliness and pain come like a tide, drowning him in endless darkness.

He tried to numb himself with alcohol and silence, but found that it was all in vain, because his heart had long since become cold under the test of time, as if it had lost all warmth and color.

If he continues to stay here, he will really go completely crazy!
The nephew could not understand his uncle's pain. He tried to persuade him, but all he got in return was his uncle's silence and rejection.

Although there were new friends and women trying to get into Lee Chandler's heart, he was simply unable to open his heart to accept them, because at this time he was actually a walking corpse!
"Matt, don't get depressed after filming this movie. If you can't handle the pressure, you might as well give the role to me. It's still not too late to reshoot or reshoot now..."

Leonardo came to the crew again, and seeing that his friend didn't seem to be in a very good condition, he wanted to use this special way to enlighten him.

However, what he got was two middle fingers from Matt Damon.

Little Leo gave Chen Fei a middle finger in response, and also specifically told him, "This guy looks pretty good, you can train him hard."

Fade Chen glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "You seem to be in good condition?"

"Haha, Fei, you don't know, I just shot a magazine a few days ago. Once it was published, I once again gained support and love from many girls. Even the number of models who want to date me has increased."

Once he started talking, he couldn't stop: "I have a new girlfriend, her name is Camila Morrone, she was born into a family of models and actors, she is only 20 years old, and has a very hot body. She and I are in love, and she is willing to work out with me..."

Leo said a lot, but Fade Chen only caught one message.

"She's only 20 this year, doesn't that mean you can date until 2022? She'll be 25 by then?"

"Yes, that's exactly my plan."

"6!"

Seeing how comfortable he was, Fade Chen suddenly felt unhappy and immediately called a makeup artist to create a "unique" makeup for him.

At the same time, he yelled to Matt Damon: "Leave work an hour late tonight and you need to act out what it's like to see your brother die."

"Ok, Fei, I'm fine, you get Leon ready to lie in the ice coffin, I'll pray to God for him."

"Fuck!" Leo yelled, "It was your brother Joe Chandler in the movie who died, not me! Damn you! I don't need you to pray to God for me!" "No, I want..."

Matt Damon responded bluntly, causing Kate Winslet, who was not far away, to burst into laughter.

Although the other crew members didn't dare to laugh wildly, they all covered their mouths and their shoulders rose and fell.

More than half an hour later, Matt Damon's current scene officially ended.

"You adjust your state first."

Fade Chen gave him some instructions and then came to the morgue.

By this time, Leonardo was ready.

He changed into new clothes and smeared a special powder on his exposed skin, making him look like a corpse that had been dead for some time and was still frozen in a freezer.

Fade Chen waved his hand to signal the makeup artist and assistant to leave the room. "I need to rehearse the scene for him. You can come in in ten minutes."

Although they didn't quite understand why the director wanted to act out the scene for a "dead body", everyone still listened and walked out obediently.

"Close the door."

"boom!"

As the door closed, Fade Chen turned around and spoke quickly: "Have you been informed of the venue for the White Party?"

"That's right." Leonardo nodded and said seriously, "It's in Los Angeles, in a suburban mansion owned by P. Diddy."

"Los Angeles?" Chen Fei was quite surprised. "How dare they do such a thing under the nose of LAPD?"

Leonardo shrugged: "Maybe it's because there are powerful people in the LAPD among the participants."

Chen Fei was quite familiar with the term "darkness under the lamp" and could understand it.

After a moment's silence, he continued to remind her, "When you go back this time, I will arrange for someone to come to your house and install a pinhole camera on you. You will need to get used to it for a few days in advance."

"it is good."

Leonardo responded and asked with some concern: "Will this affect my date with Camila Morrone? She is in her prime and comes to my house every night..."

Chen Fei's mouth twitched, and he was speechless: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in watching you and your girlfriend fighting on the bed, and I don't have that kind of voyeurism habit."

"That's good." Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he even joked: "Actually, it's okay if you want to watch it, as long as you don't spread it. I know a lot of tricks and can teach you..."

Before he could finish, Fade Chen turned around and walked out, shouting, "Matt! Come in! Pray to the god of death and God to take this guy away quickly!"

~

This scene was actually very difficult to shoot, mainly because of Matt Damon, he had to get into the right state.

"Leon, from now on I will treat you as if you are really dead. Are you ready?"

In front of the freezer, Matt Damon's words completely stunned Leo.

He blinked blankly and wanted to say something back, but seeing that his friend was quickly getting into the mood, he finally chose to close his eyes and act like a dead body.

"Just die. If I have the chance in the future, I will cry for you once, and repay you in kind..."

Soon, under the camera, Lee Chandler, played by Matt Damon, entered the role.

His eyes were hollow and his face was haggard, as if he was carrying a heavy burden... As he slowly walked towards the bed where his brother was lying, every step he took seemed extremely heavy.

At this time, Joe Chandler, played by Leonardo, was lying quietly on the morgue bed, his face pale, as if he had lost all signs of life.

Although this was just a "makeup" carefully designed by the crew for filming, even so, combined with the surrounding morgue atmosphere, it was enough to make people feel chilly.

Coming closer, Lee Chandler fixed his eyes on his brother's face.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with thick sadness and depression!

Matt Damon's acting skills completely broke out at this moment. He didn't need words, but only his eyes and expressions to express his inner pain and despair vividly.

With trembling hands, he gently stroked the cheek of his loved one, as if trying to wake up someone who had been sleeping for a long time.

However, his loved ones did not react at all. They just lay there quietly, letting his emotions flow through their fingertips...

"Click! Passed!"

Suddenly, Chen Fei's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Following this order, Leonardo instantly sat up from the morgue bed.

He smiled and looked at Matt Damon, and said jokingly: "Matt, you really got into the role! My character is not completely dead. This is my first scene to shoot. There are still many scenes of memories to come."

Matt Damon's eyes were red and swollen, with tears welling up in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.

Although the play was over, the character's pain and despair were deeply engraved in his heart and could not be erased for a while.

But even so, he didn’t forget to retort: ​​“Leon, don’t worry, when I attend your funeral in the future, I will definitely be more involved than I am now.”

"Fuck!"

Little Leo's face suddenly turned dark and his eyes almost rolled up to the sky.

……

A day of filming ended and night fell in America.

At this time, the country also ushered in a new day and a very lively moment!
Looking around, all major social platforms, entertainment websites, etc. are filled with news and information about Wolf Warrior 2:

"This morning, the military, war and action film Wolf Warrior 2, produced by Feiyue Films and co-produced by Enlight, Wanda, Shanghai Film Group and other companies, officially held its first Asian premiere in the capital... All the main creative members of the film appeared on the red carpet of the premiere."

"Wu Jing said in an interview with the media: In order to shoot the long shot from the sky to the underwater at the beginning, I jumped into the water more than 20 times and almost drowned!"

"Wu Gang, who became famous this year for his role as 'Secretary Dakang', said: 'Every action in the film is difficult and every scene is still fresh in my memory. This is my first time participating in this type of film. It allowed me to learn things I have never tried before. There is really a lot of hard work and effort behind the filming of the film.'"

"Yu Qian and Guo Degang's son Guo Qilin appeared together, revealing that the latter will enter the film and television industry..."

"Director Wang Shiliang summarized the central idea of ​​the Wolf Warriors series: 'First of all, our crew has achieved a goal. With an original intention, an attitude of respect for movies, and a mentality of being willing to be cannon fodder, we hope to carve out a new path in domestic military action films... As the saying goes, as a Chinese, 'whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away he is'!"

"Regarding the prediction of box office performance, Feiyue Film and Television Company General Manager Su Guohai said that perhaps he could give fans a surprise, so please stay tuned..."

After the premiere, taking advantage of the current explosive popularity, "Wolf Warrior 2" officially launched its final round of promotional activities.

Following the preview and poster, director's special, African version poster and African special, war version trailer and full lineup poster, the crew once again released a "Tank Drift Special" and "Burning for the Motherland" version poster, and at the same time fully launched publicity on multiple online channels such as Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo.

At this time, news from the other side of the border was constantly coming back, which undoubtedly aroused the passion and anger of many people and netizens in the country!
For a time, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" skyrocketed!
Three days later, "The Founding of an Army" held its premiere, which once again sparked a wave of popularity.

Soon after, time smoothly came to the early morning of July 7, and the release of "Wolf Warrior 27" officially kicked off.

At the same time, Chen Fei, who was far away in the United States, posted a Weibo and a TikTok message, and directed the director of Wolf Warrior 2, Wang Shiliang, and more than 50 actors including Wu Jing, Wu Gang, Zhang Ruoyun, Yu Qian, and Liu Yan, and posted a message under their personal accounts at the same time:
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
