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

Chapter 1106 Don’t be shy, be restrained!

"Wait a moment before you leave."

Seeing Natasha turning around and about to leave, Fade Chen quickly stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

Natasha stopped and looked back.

“Have you picked a release date for Manchester by the Sea? When are you planning on releasing it?”

During this period, in order to promote this movie, Chen Fei has led Matt Damon, Kate Winslet and others to participate in many roadshows.

Logically speaking, it is time to go online, after all, Oscar season is here.

If it is postponed further, the effect of the prize-winning event will probably be greatly reduced.

"It's already been scheduled. Didn't you see the notice?"

"Hmm?" Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What notice?"

"Then I'll tell you straight away, the movie is scheduled to be released on November 11, which is the middle of next month."

This number is quite clever.

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "On the same day as Justice League?"

"That's right! It's a commercial film, and ours is an art film, so it won't have much impact. And maybe we can even take advantage of the other party's popularity, haha."

"Okay, then you can look at the arrangements."

After Chen Fei finished speaking, he picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

The take-off time sent by the crew is 6:30, so it’s almost time to set off.

Natasha opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, she remained silent.

"Forget it, let's not tell him about this for now. I'll give him a big surprise when the time comes, hehe~"

While thinking secretly in her heart, she couldn't help but mutter: "This damn European Commission, the anti-monopoly agency has approved it, but they are still holding me back. It seems that we have to think of a way to put pressure on them."

On the other hand, Natasha is thinking about how to put pressure on the European Commission's competition regulator.

On the other hand, Warner and DC are under tremendous pressure!

Neither Kevin Tsujihara nor Hamada had expected that the trailer released today would trigger such exaggerated negative reviews and dissatisfied responses!
But even so, they had to bite the bullet and continue to push for the release of the film.

After all, we have invested so much in the early stage. If it is not launched now, the loss will be too great!

As long as the film can be released, regardless of its success or failure, part of the cost can always be recovered.

"As of now, our pre-sales are... $200 million."

In the huge conference room, when the issuing manager announced such a result, all the senior executives were silent.

But as the president of DC, how could Hamada avoid it?
Perhaps because the sunk cost was too high, he still spoke with some confidence: "Joss Whedon is very confident that he can win over a group of fans who originally belonged to Marvel with this version of the trailer.

Therefore, I think we should not be too focused on the dissatisfaction of the current DC fans, but should look further ahead and strive to gain fans and audience traffic in a wide range of areas.”

These words gave rise to fantasies in many people's minds.

Upon hearing this, Kevin Tsujihara took the initiative to ask, "This movie has also held many previews, right? What are the online Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb ratings?"

When these words came out, Hamada was stunned.

After a long moment of melancholy, he explained awkwardly: "The reputation rating mechanism has not yet been lifted."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Kevin Tsujihara's brows suddenly furrowed.

There is an unwritten rule in the Hollywood film system, which is: a movie that releases its word-of-mouth ratings in advance is not necessarily a good movie, but if the ratings are not announced until the day before the release, then the quality of the movie is definitely not very good.

Let me ask you, if the film company doesn't even dare to ask the audience who attended the preview to give their ratings, how bad must the quality of this film be?
However, Hamada also has his own ideas: "In the current auditions, most of the participants are fans of DC comics, and they still love Zack Snyder's style.

However, some DC fans do not like Joss Whedon's version, so once we lift the ban on the rating mechanism in advance, these people will definitely make a big fuss about it.

So, rather than letting these ratings affect other potential moviegoers, it is better not to lift the ban on the rating system and just promote the film on time and in a reasonable manner.”

This reason barely convinced Kevin Tsujihara.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you arranged. Today's meeting ends here, and let's go back and take action."

After announcing the disbandment of the meeting, Kevin Tsujihara went to the public relations department again to learn about the awards situation for "Dunkirk".

What worries him is that in this year's Oscars, "Dunkirk" not only has to compete with "Manchester by the Sea", but also with a movie called "The Shape of Water".

The former is not so bad, the worst that can happen is a competition of public relations and film quality.

But that movie "The Shape of Water" is pretty fucked up!
Black Lives Matter, homosexuality, shapeshifters, LGBTQAPKXREW…the buff stacking is simply too exaggerated!
The public relations department didn’t know what to do, after all, this movie was too outrageous.

"Damn Fox, they're almost bankrupt, and they're still doing this!"

After swearing a few times, Kevin Tsujihara gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and ordered: "Keep up the PR efforts. Even if you can't win the Best Picture, you have to bring me the Best Director Award. You can't return empty-handed!"

In order to be able to give an explanation to his superiors, he tried his best.

……

When the plane landed in the capital, it was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon on November 1st.

Arriving at the underground parking lot, Fade Chen just opened the door of the business car and looked at Miss Liu who was smiling brightly inside.

She was wearing a light green dress, just sitting there quietly, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders very naturally, soft and smooth. Her overall temperament was gentle and elegant, as if a bit of maturity was mixed in with her girlish aura.

After getting in the car, Fade Chen kissed her on the face: "My wife is getting more and more beautiful, haha."

In the past, Liu Yifei tried hard to maintain her figure, so she looked very thin.

But now she seems to have gained some weight, her chin is fleshy, and her face is a little round, giving people a very rua feeling.

And that's exactly what Chen Fei did.

Holding his wife's face with both hands, he squeezed it gently, feeling the smooth touch, which was simply amazing.

Liu Yifei was not disgusted by his action. Instead, she squinted her eyes slightly like a kitten, enjoying the beauty of the moment.

"Are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something first? Or go home directly?"

While being close to her husband, Liu Yifei also did not forget to care about him.

Fade Chen then asked, "What about you? Have you had dinner?"

"No."

"Then how about we go eat first and then go home after dinner?"

"it is good."

After instructing the driver to go to the private restaurant first, Liu Yifei raised the barrier again and continued to be intimate with her husband.

Chen Fei curiously placed his hand on her lower abdomen, touched it gently, and then pretended to move his ear closer.

"Oh, I can't hear any sound yet."

Liu Yifei stopped him with a helpless look on her face.

"Let me listen first, maybe? My hearing is pretty good."

Miss Liu had no choice but to puff up her belly so that he could listen to the fetal heartbeat more easily.

After a moment, Fade Chen raised his head with some regret.

He really didn't hear anything.
"Calculate the time. It's only 20 days at most. How can you possibly hear it? The earliest it will be is the end of November."

"Ok."

Although he felt a little regretful, being able to see his wife was his greatest happiness, and Chen Fei was still in a very good mood.

After dinner, when I returned home, Liu Xiaoli came up to me and asked me about my well-being again.

After resting in the living room for a while, Chen Fei finally felt sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer. He had to adjust to the jet lag first.

"I'm going to bed early tonight too."

Liu Yifei followed him enthusiastically and went straight to the bedroom.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Liu Xiaoli called her silly girl, pulled her over, and sternly warned her: "The doctor said before that you can't do that in the early stages of pregnancy. It will affect the fetus. You two have to control yourself and be moderate..."

These words immediately made Liu Yifei blush.

"Oops, I know."

She just wanted to hug her husband to sleep, she was not that hungry. Her mother was really something, she actually specifically reminded her of this.

Liu Yifei complained about her mother in her heart, then followed Fade Chen into the bedroom, leaning excitedly on the strong arms. "Hehe, people on the Internet say that married men will get fat, but you don't seem to be fat, and you still have abdominal muscles?"

Chen Fei directly held her hand that had been stretched down, and warned her: "You little slut, didn't you listen to what your mother said just now? You must restrain yourself."

"Ah! You heard it!"

"I'm not deaf." Fade Chen grabbed her hand and pulled it up forcefully.

Although he did react, he was still able to control himself. Reason always took the upper hand and never fell.

But at this moment, Liu Yifei's words instantly made him wake up from all sleepiness!
"Hehe? How about I help you find a few maids? If you keep holding it in like this, won't you get sick?"

What she was thinking was simple. She was just afraid that Fade Chen would get hurt, so she blurted it out.

However, Fade Chen couldn't help laughing and knocking her head. "What's in your head? A concubine? Do you really think this is ancient times?"

Liu Yifei covered her head and muttered, "It's better than you going out to find other women. Instead of that, I might as well help you find one."

"Hey? When did I go out to look for other women? It's unfair!"

Although Chen Fei had seen it when watching videos online, pregnant women experience more severe psychological and emotional fluctuations.

But he really didn't expect that Liu Yifei could actually associate him with going out to find other women!
This...is this too outrageous?

What a lesson from heaven and earth!
He did have a lot of fun before we got married, but that was when we were single. Who doesn't have time to satisfy their physical needs?

But after getting married, his heart has always been with Liu Yifei, and he has never thought about drifting away.

"I know. Isn't this just a precaution to prevent you from doing bad things in the future? I might as well find you a few reliable maids in advance. Hehe, do you want them?"

Chen Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After raising his hand and knocking on her head again, he said firmly: "No!"

"Okay then, tell me when you need something and I'll help you talk to them."

"they???"

"Yeah." Liu Yifei giggled and revealed, "I have several girlfriends who all said they don't plan to get married and want to live alone for the rest of their lives. They feel so pitiful. Do you want to help?"

When saying this, Liu Yifei's eyes flashed with several cunning lights, and no one knew what bad ideas she was thinking.

Chen Fei thought she was joking and didn't fall for it.

Reaching out and patting her perky buttocks, he said directly: "Go to sleep, and don't provoke me again, or I will kill you right here!"

"Oh fine."

Liu Yifei snuggled into his arms, her eyes rolling, and she looked quite satisfied.

Test passed~

My husband is so nice!

……

Chen Fei stayed at home with Liu Yifei all day on the 2nd and did not go anywhere.

After watching the latest episode of "Ashes of Love", Liu Yifei turned on the newly launched variety show "The Birth of the Actors" and watched it with great interest.

At the same time, she did not forget to recommend this variety show to Chen Fei.

"You can watch it when you have time. From the judges to the contestants, I feel that their acting skills are better than each other, especially Zhang Songwen, who can play any role well. Zhou Yiwei, Zhai Tianlin, etc., I feel they are all pretty good too..."

Chen Fei's curiosity was aroused by her words, and he couldn't help but come over to watch for a while.

At this moment on the screen, Ouyang Na Na from Taiwan Province is reenacting a scene from the movie "My Father and Mother" played by Zhang Ziyi with Zheng Hao.

When the roaring version of the line "Ants race for ten years" appeared, Chen Fei was stunned.

"Wow? How can someone with this level of performance have the nerve to appear on an acting competition show like this?"

However, soon, something even more outrageous happened!

When Zhang Ziyi was commenting, she actually gave Zheng Haoan, whose acting skills surpassed Ouyang NaNa, the title of "Drama King".

As a result, the one who performed well was eliminated directly, but on the other hand, the one with terrible acting skills was recognized by most of the judges and successfully won the competition.

In the barrage, the audience was going crazy!
"Fuck you, does that mean that if your opponent is a loser, you should be as bad as him or worse than him, so that you can praise that rookie? Amazing! Zhang Ziyi's logic is amazing!"

"Haha, he's not good-looking, and he doesn't have any representative works. No one would believe that he has no background."

"This show is really just a bunch of people praising each other and setting industry standards. How come these people have become industry benchmarks out of nowhere? Yes, I'm talking about her, Zhang Ziyi."

"Teacher Zheng Hao was so angry that he laughed. I was also very angry."

"Okay, I won't watch this show anymore. Whoever wants to watch it can go ahead."

In front of the screen, Liu Yifei and Chen Fei also looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ahem, I still won't recommend this variety show to you. It's boring."

Liu Yifei's hands were extremely fast. She turned off "The Birth of an Actor" very neatly and then found "A Longing for Life".

"You should watch this. The episode with Shu Chang on the show is out too. It's really funny."

When this was mentioned, Fade Chen immediately became interested.

"let me see?"

Taking the phone from Liu Yifei, Chen Fei looked at it with great interest.

The "Evil Gardenia" continued to perform stably, and Huang Xiaochu was so happy and even ecstatic with praise that he felt like he was floating in the air.

However, even so, the latter still only cooked one meal, and Shu Chang was so hungry that she showed off Anmuxi wildly, and those who didn't know would think that the milk was very delicious.

We waited hard for the meal Huang Lei cooked in the evening, but what was served were all his "original versions" and "improved versions".

Chen Fei could clearly see that the smile on Shu Chang's face had frozen. He only ate the rice during the meal and hardly touched the dishes on the table.

Until the end of the dinner, those dishes that looked delicious were almost untouched, which was really hilarious.

"Hahahaha! How can this be considered a place to enjoy life? This is totally a place to suffer!"

Liu Yifei said she felt sorry for her bestie: "No wonder she indulged herself for several days after recording the show. It's so pitiful. She didn't even eat for a whole day!"

"Hahahaha." Chen Fei had another idea in his mind. "When we do the promotion and marketing for 'Time Travelers', I will ask the company to arrange for her to appear on 'Longing for Life' again. It will definitely be fun."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes: "She will definitely scold you to death when she finds out!"

"Why don't you just not let her know? If I don't tell her and you don't tell her, how would she know? Hahahaha!"

……

Number 2 passed away quietly, and number 3 arrived as promised.

"Thor 3: Ragnarok" was officially released, making the 12 domestic films released during the same period cry out in despair.

The first day box office was 1.35 million, which is simply the best among all!

On the morning of the 4th, Chen Fei appeared in the company and announced to the public that the promotional roadshow for "Dying to Survive" had officially started!

For a time, the media focused their attention on this film that won the Palme d'Or.

However, at the same time, Wu Yu's face darkened.

Because just today, he joined hands with China Film to officially release the gun battle special of "The Chase".

Originally, he wanted to use the gun battle scenes, car chases, explosions, and "bullets rain" and other big scenes to market the "familiar Wu Yu" and bring him back to the topic.

But what no one expected was that "Dying to Survive" would also choose to launch its promotion on the same day.

This is fucking embarrassing.

All the attention was taken away by the other party!

However, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to accept his fate.

After all, he thought he was far inferior to Chen Fei in terms of popularity and traffic.

Actually, he felt quite lucky.

Fortunately, there is a one-week interval between the release of "The Chase" and "Dying to Survive". If they were released at the same time, wouldn't that be the end of it?

After all, he had promised La Peikang that "The Chase" would be a big hit at the box office!
But if he breaks his promise in the end, his career as a director will come to an end.

"Red Cliff" Part 1 and "The Crossing" Part 1, these two projects almost ruined China Film Corporation.

If he continues to do such bad things, China Film Group might even ban him!
