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

Chapter 1076 The leaky cotton jacket is a bummer again...Escape from the devil's den! Publish the crime!
Over the past few days, the filming progress of "Manchester by the Sea" has become increasingly faster.

After more than half a month of cooperation, the main actors have become more and more harmonious and their condition is getting better and better, which has also led to an increasing number of times they can shoot in one take.

Matt Damon was completely immersed in the role, and sometimes, not only when filming, but even when eating and resting, he seemed to have turned into Lee Chandler.

The crew is equipped with professional psychologists, but there is no need to worry that the actors will get too immersed in the role and develop serious mental illnesses.

During the filming, Chen Fei would consciously or unconsciously pay attention to their conditions and try to avoid applying too much stimulation to ensure that they could recover in a short time after the filming.

"Fei, where did Leon go? He and I were going to play against each other again in a few days, why is he gone again?"

Matt Damon was very puzzled about Leonardo's behavior of leaving the crew after staying on the set for a few days.

"He may have some personal matters. He will come in a few days..."

Chen Fei didn't know what to say, so he could only end the topic vaguely.

After all, he couldn't tell Matt Damon that Leonardo went to P. Diddy's party to protect his own ass, could he?
Judging from the photos and videos sent back in the past two days, his weight loss and body shaping plan has undoubtedly been a great success.

All those around him were middle-aged women, and no man could get close to him.

Although I suffered a lot because of this, it was much better than letting the chrysanthemums be destroyed.

In just one more day and one night, Leonardo will be free from his suffering. Chen Fei believes that he will persevere.

In order to reward him, Chen Fei specially asked someone to buy ginseng and deer penis wine from China, as well as a lot of high-quality black wolfberries.

With the help of these things, I believe he will be able to recover in a short time.

More than half an hour later, with Chen Fei's word "Action", a new day of shooting began again.

On the monitor, Lee Chandler, played by Matt Damon, meets his ex-wife again after more than ten years, but everything has changed.

Kate Winslet's crying scene is even better than in her audition.

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and she regretted very much that she should not have slandered and abused her ex-husband so much. She apologized sincerely and hoped that he could move on.

But Lee Chandler couldn't accept it. He couldn't get over it, not in this lifetime. He was destined to atone for the fire...

After a long scene was shot, Kate, who was deeply immersed in the role, wiped her tears and came in front of Chen Fei.

"Fei, your script is so cruel. Why did you let Lee Chandler leave Manchester at the end of the story? He seems to be tightly bound by the shackles of life, unable to escape the endless oppression, like a soul forever sinking in the water, unable to be redeemed..."

Chen Fei smiled, his eyes revealing a deep understanding of theatrical art: "Kate, you have to know that life itself is a complex drama, in which tragedy is often more touching than comedy.

In the world of drama, the depth of this tragedy is infinitely magnified, allowing people to face the dark side of human nature and feel the unspeakable pain and despair... and it is these that constitute the most moving part of the drama!"

Although he spoke professional words, what Chen Fei was thinking in his heart was that this movie must win an award.

How could a family-friendly style win an award?

The more tragic! The more touching! The more impressive! Only then can you win the favor of the judges... and this is the secret of winning awards.

But Kate didn't react for a moment.

She nodded, as if she was deeply moved by Chen Fei's words: "You are right, tragedy is not only an emotional catharsis, but also a profound reflection on life.

It allows us to see the shadow of our own lives while appreciating the drama, and feel those neglected or suppressed emotions. This resonance is the charm of drama art..."

"Kate, you are worthy of being an Oscar-winning actress. You understand it so thoroughly!"

Encouraged by this, Kate worked even harder on the following shots, and completed several shots in one go, saving Chen Fei a lot of effort and memory.

Another day of shooting ended. On the way back to the hotel, Chen Fei received a call from Han Sanping.

"The casting for 'Nobody' has been completed. I have sent the cast list to your email. Take a look when you have time."

"Okay, I'll watch it when I get home tonight."

"And The Founding of an Army." Han Sanping paused, her tone complicated, "The movie was released for two days and the box office took in 1.03 million yuan. Including the midnight show, the total is 1.45 million yuan."

"Very good." Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and praised.

But the next second, Han Sanping retorted: "La Peikang is very dissatisfied with this result. He wants the total box office to exceed 15 billion, but "The Founding of an Army" will definitely not be able to achieve his expected goal... He thinks that "Wolf Warrior 2" ruined this movie."

"Haha." Chen Fei's cold laugh echoed in the phone: "So? What does he want?"

"Although he didn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied with the public opinion. I am worried that he will do other tricks in the later stage. After all, Feiyue Film and Television has become a competitor with China Film."

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for reminding me. Don't worry, I know the interests involved."

When he first started working with La Peikang, Fade Chen knew that the other party was petty, so after the falling out, he already had some predictions in his mind about what that guy might do.

It is definitely impossible to take the initiative to target it, after all, China Film is a state-owned enterprise.

But he is still very confident that he can deal with any challenge. Even though China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise, La Pei Kang cannot fully represent China Film Group...

"Okay, since you are prepared, I feel relieved."

Han Sanping hung up the phone quickly. His girl was too lazy and he had to do many things himself.

The first thing Chen Fei did when he returned to the hotel was to open his laptop and take a look at his inbox.

The casting of "Nobody" was handled by Han Jianui alone. He did not interfere in the whole process, mainly to train this girl.

The adaptability of casting is undoubtedly a reflection of a director's level and ability.

Chen Jianbin, Ren Suxi, Pan Binlong, Zhang Yu, Xie Bo...there is no problem with these.

However, when Chen Fei saw that the name Han Sanping was written under the actor of the role of "Gao Ming", he was immediately happy.

He took out his phone and sent a voice message to Han Jianuo: "Hey? You really are such a jerk! In "Dying to Survive", you let your dad play a fake drug dealer, and in "Nobody", you let your dad play a construction site boss who gets beaten up?"

It was daytime in China at this time, so Chen Fei received a reply shortly after he sent the message.

"Hey, who asked him to arrange the project for me? He also deprived me of my rest time. If I don't cheat him, who else should I cheat? I have to cheat him and that's it!"

After hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't stop laughing for a long time. This "black-hearted cotton-padded jacket" was too leaky.

After chatting for a while, Chen Fei finally gave a positive response to the casting lineup of "Nobody".

There is nothing wrong with this cast, so we can start filming with confidence.

He turned off the computer, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lay down on the bed.

It was already late and Liu Yifei had already said "good night" long ago, so there was no need for him to make a video chat.

Before going to bed, he opened Weibo and looked at the latest domestic entertainment news.

In addition to the currently hotly screened "Wolf Warrior 2", the next one to be released is "Eternal Love", which has been released for less than 12 hours.

The overall daily screening rate was 32.2%, ranking second in the same period, second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" and higher than "The Founding of an Army".

The total ticket price is 34.6, and the attendance rate is 89%...

Judging from these data, the movie’s first-day box office performance will definitely not be bad.

However, when it comes to whether a movie can be a big hit, the most important thing is the film’s reputation and quality, which are the basis for the movie to be a big hit.

However, "Eternal Love" has clearly encountered a considerable crisis in this regard!
The ticket purchase score is 7.1 and the overall score is 3 stars. This is not a good sign...

"Honestly, I was really looking forward to the movie version. I couldn't wait to go watch it with my friends right after it was released. The special effects were beautiful and it was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it, but the plot was so fucking terrible that it almost made me spit out blood! Was the editor drunk? The editing was such a mess!"

"Uh... I want to ask, where is my Emperor Donghua? Where is Bai Fengjiu? Where is Li Jing? Where is Bai Qian and Si Yin? Apart from the special effects and actors, what is the highlight of this movie?"

"The lines are relatively simple, the characters' personalities are unclear, and it's very different from the TV version."

"It feels like a TV drama version of the MV style. A lot of the essence is missing. The plot connection is a mess. It's really painful to watch!"

"Oh my god, I am shocked. The special effects are amazing. There were laughter and tears throughout the whole scene. The ending was so heartbreaking. The actors' acting skills were great, very consistent with the original novel, and a conscientious production!"

"..."

It can be clearly seen that Alibaba Pictures has been doing public relations, trying to cover up the negative reviews with a large number of positive reviews.

But how could it be so easy to cover up when so many people watched the movie? The actors' acting skills are no longer a problem here. The key is the plot. The audience said it was a mess and they couldn't understand the real main line at all.

And this is the disadvantage of releasing the TV version first and then the movie version.

The TV series took nearly 60 episodes to tell the whole story, but the movie version wants to tell the same story in 109 minutes. How could it be so easy?

On the bed, Fade Chen muttered, "It's almost time, Zhang Qi, I'll be waiting for you. I hope you can keep your promise and abide by the bet, hehe..."

……

After a night, it was August 8th in China.

Seven films including "Dragon Wars" and "Toy Story" entered the summer vacation schedule on the same day.

However, netizens are still most concerned about the blockbusters that have already been released!
"Wolf Warrior 2, a military, action, war-themed movie directed by Wang Shiliang and starring Wu Jing, Zhang Ruoyun, Liu Yan and others, has grossed 8 billion yuan in box office revenue in 24.44 days! - Maoyan app."

"The mainstream theme movie "The Founding of an Army" was released for three days and the cumulative box office revenue was 2.02 million yuan."

"The costume and fantasy film Eternal Love, directed by Zhao Xiaoding and starring Jing Tian and Yang Yang, grossed 1.76 million yuan on its first day of release."

Looking at it from a distance, the three blockbusters all seem to be in great shape and have great box office potential...

However, only the family knows their own business. Whether it is really good or falsely good, there are data to support it.

"What is the screening schedule for "The Founding of an Army" today?"

"20.5%."

"What about Wolf Warrior 2?"

"43.2%."

After a very brief question and answer, La Peikang suddenly fell silent.

He no longer knew how to describe his feelings.

There are regrets, despair, collapse... and unspeakable regrets!
He really couldn't understand why there was such a big gap between the two movies!
In the past few days, more and more people have mocked him for "overestimating his own capabilities". The slogan of "15 billion" he shouted before is simply a joke now!
If it was just one or two times of embarrassment, he could barely accept it, after all, no one can always be invincible.

But now, failure after failure has made him lose all face!

There was constant ridicule from outside, and his superiors were also dissatisfied. After all, he had hardly achieved the results he had promised.

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to support him?

The secretary at the side was an expert at reading people's expressions. Seeing that the leader's face was becoming increasingly uneasy, he quickly changed the subject:
"Boss La, Director Teng Huatao sent a message saying that the preparations for Shanghai Fortress have been completed. I would like to ask you for a suitable start time."

Hearing this, La Peikang's icy expression softened a little.

"Tell him to coordinate with the actors as soon as possible and start filming immediately. The sooner the better. The sooner the better. Don't waste time."

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

Watching his secretary leave, La Peikang let out a long sigh, shook his head, put the matter of "The Founding of an Army" behind him, and forced himself to imagine what would happen after "Shanghai Fortress" was released.

Only by doing this will he feel better and relieved of stress.

At the same time, on the other side, in Alibaba Pictures, Zhang Qi frowned as he looked at the various data about "Eternal Love" reported by his secretary.

"The film ratings and fans' satisfaction with the film do not seem to meet our expectations?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." The head of the publicity department also frowned: "All the publicity and promotion have been arranged in place in the early stage, but this situation still occurred. It's really weird..."

The head of the production department would not admit that the quality of his film was problematic, and immediately interrupted, "I think this is normal. Wolf Warrior 2 has siphoned away most of the traffic, and we will definitely be affected."

"Let's wait and see. It's almost Saturday, and maybe the number of moviegoers will increase. After all, the target audience of our movie is college students, and they need to work on weekdays."

Zhang Qi made the final conclusion and prepared to observe further.

Others all agreed with him and said they would wait and see, and they firmly believed that the reputation and ratings would be reversed in the future.

But at this time, the secretary came closer: "Director Zhang, are you going to attend the premiere of "Zhu Xian" tomorrow?"

"No, I don't have time."

Zhang Qi shook his head and refused without hesitation.

Because he has been working with Ma Yun for many years, he has always been contemptuous of his opponents, so he never thought that the "Zhu Xian" IP could affect "Eternal Love".

You know, their TV version of "Eternal Love" was a huge success, but "Zhu Xian" is just its first launch. The number of fans of both sides is simply incomparable, so how much of a threat can they pose?
……

For three whole days and three nights, Leonardo went from being sexually excited at first to completely becoming a mating tool in the end.

He didn't know how he spent those three days. He only knew that the women he had relationships with changed one after another.

For many people, this may be a kind of happiness, but for someone like him who has never lacked women since his debut, this is a kind of pain.

Fortunately, his chrysanthemum was intact and not damaged at all.

Although there were still many big guys who were interested in him, he was lucky enough to escape many disasters in the face of the obstruction of a large number of women.

After changing back into his own clothes, he dragged his hollowed-out body and held onto his drained waist, and walked out of the villa to see the sun...

The sunlight shone on him, it was warm and so comfortable.

Not far away, his Cadillac was parked in a parking space, the black paint reflecting a faint crystal light, falling in front of him.

Walking on the road paved with crystal light, he quickened his pace, got into the car as fast as he could, started the engine, and drove towards the wide road not far away.

Through the rearview mirror, he could clearly see that many men had extremely pale faces, and they looked so miserable!
Seeing this, his mood suddenly became much better.

He took out his spare phone, found the familiar number, and quickly dialed it.

"Beep beep..."

After the phone rang a few times, it was successfully connected.

"Hello? Leon?"

"Fei! I'm out! I'm finally out! I escaped from that devil's cave! I saved my ass!"

He shouted excitedly, venting his joyful mood.

"okay, I get it."

After quickly hanging up the phone, Fade Chen found Amy Knott's contact information, called her and gave her instructions: "Are you ready? You can start now."

"okay, I get it."

Amy Knott responded, packaged up and sent out multiple copies of the video that had been copied and re-edited, and took out more than a dozen spare phones and started making calls using a voice changer.

"Hello? FBI? I want to report a group of people smoking marijuana in the suburbs of Los Angeles..."

"Hello? FBI? I want to report someone for forced sex at..."

"Hello? Department of Homeland Security? I want to report someone transporting people for the purpose of prostitution..."

"Hello? LAPD? A very serious extortion case is happening..."

"Hello? Is this Fox News? I have a criminal video about a celebrity to release..."

In just one morning, all major departments across the United States were shocked!
At the same time, many news media platforms, websites, etc. received many very "eye-catching" videos.

At the same time, the number of people who went to the LAPD and the court to accuse and report P. Diddy for assaulting them soared!

And the target of all this is "Puff Daddy"!
Because all the events that happened at the party were deliberately edited twice, and no one except P. Diddy showed their faces.

Chen Fei's only target was this scumbag. As for other people, he had no interest in paying attention to them.

Of course, the premise is that those guys don’t mess with him!
