Chapter 1109 Wu Baige ran away again?
Because of taking responsibility and resigning, Hamada was in a very bad mood at the moment.

After all, only by holding a high position can he earn a lot of money and maintain his high-spending lifestyle.

Although "Justice League" lost a lot of money this time, he as a leader did not lose anything. It was the company's money that was lost, which had nothing to do with him.

Therefore, the reason why he was in a bad mood was simply that he would have no more money to be greedy for in the future.

However, after following Kevin Tsujihara into the office, he soon felt much more relaxed.

Because when Kevin Tsujihara walked in, he said directly: "Remember, as long as I can keep my position as CEO of Warner, you still have a chance.

Next, you go back and rest for a while, I will arrange for you to go to another branch, and you will have the opportunity to return to this position..."

After saying this, Hamada's brows immediately lit up with joy.

Taking this opportunity, Kevin Tsujihara continued, "As for your resignation letter, I will sign it in a few days, and during this time, you still have to complete the last task."

"What?" Hamada asked in confusion.

"Try to make Joss Whedon take more responsibility for the failure of Justice League and try to remove you from the picture, understand?"

Hearing this, Hamada nodded heavily!
In fact, he would have done so even if Kevin Tsujihara hadn't told him to.

In order to continue to work in Hollywood in the future, he must clear himself of the responsibilities.

Moreover, he has already thought of a suitable solution.

When speaking to the outside world, he would publicly state that he actually trusted Joss Whedon's assurances too much, which is why he fully supported his drastic reforms to "Justice League."

Based on this, he is actually one of the victims!
In order to achieve this goal, he will work closely with the actors to expose the bullying behavior of Joss Whedon against the actors during the reshoots.

As long as all the public pressure is placed on Joss Whedon, he will be able to continue to work in Hollywood.

At this time, after listening to Hamada's ideas and strategies, Kevin Tsujihara became more and more satisfied.

"Let's arrange it this way, go ahead and do it, and try to get it done as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Hamada nodded heavily and went to contact the media happily.

After watching him leave, Kevin Tsujihara fell into thought again.

Although he put forward two "scapegoats", he knew in his heart that the higher-ups would never let him off so easily.

Therefore, in order to continue to maintain his high position, he must do more remedial work.

For example, the project "Dunkirk" was decided by him personally!
If this movie can successfully win an award at the next Oscars, then he will have made up for his mistake.

"The Shape of Water? Manchester by the Sea? Damn it! We must find a way to destroy these two competitors!"

……

Magic City, The Bund.

After finishing the promotional roadshow for the new episode of "Dying to Survive", Chen Fei and Liu Yifei dressed up and took a leisurely walk here.

Although the weather has turned cooler, the air here is still quite good.

After taking a deep breath, you can even feel a damp and cool sensation, which is much better than the smog days in the capital.

The two of them held hands, just like an ordinary couple taking a stroll.

"When are you going to take a long vacation? It seems like we haven't had such a leisurely walk for a long time, right?"

There was a hint of resentment in Liu Yifei's tone.

Her husband is so busy and his schedule is always full. He hasn't had time to accompany her on travel or vacation for a long time.

Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and thought carefully about his subsequent work arrangements.

"Maybe... it will be after 2019?"

Liu Yifei immediately rolled her eyes at him: "I really want to bite you to death!"

"Haha." Chen Fei explained, "Actually, among the filming schedules I have on hand right now, the only one that is quite tight is Avengers 4.

After this movie is finished, the next one will be the movie I promised you, "Where the Wind Is" and then it will be my dream work.

Once I finish these three works, I will have enough time to spend with you and our children."

A dream project?

Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, very curious: "What dream work?"

"It's called "The Extreme Thief", and it tells a story about many extreme sports... the emergence of power, the birth of heaven, the awakening of the earth, the creatures of water, the surge of wind, the solidification of ice, the master of life..."

Listening to Chen Fei's description, Liu Yifei was stunned.

"Rafting on the Congo River? Skydiving on Mount Everest? Extreme surfing? Wingsuit flying... Aren't these all things you have tried before?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded with a smile: "I want to incorporate all of this into a movie and put a perfect end to my life."

"Do you need my help?" Liu Yifei's eyes were shining and she was very expectant.

"Sure, I'll design a role for you then."

"Great! Great! I'll go with you to challenge your limits, hehe."

The two walked around outside for half an hour before returning to the hotel.

Liu Yifei went to the bathroom to wash up, while Chen Fei sat on the sofa and opened Weibo.

He originally wanted to watch the premiere coverage of "The Chase" directed by Wu Yu, but he never expected that a long article by Huang Xiaoming was currently ranking high on the hot search list.

"I have always been courteous to people, things and the media, and I try to understand other people's difficulties and think the best of them, because this is the moral standard of being a human being. I cannot change the world, but I can change myself.

However, I never thought that there are such unscrupulous media that disregard the law and moral bottom line and still exist in this world!
People say I have a good temper, that's because you can hurt me, but I can tolerate anything if you don't hurt my family. But from now on, someone needs my protection, if it involves my family and children! That's my bottom line, sorry! I will fight you to the end!"

Looking at this long article, Chen Fei was a little confused at first.

What's wrong with this leader? Why did he post such a long article for no reason?
But as he got to know more, he found out that it was the paparazzi who exposed the scene of Yang Ying and her child traveling, and exposed all-round photos of the mother and child.

This is also the first time that Huang Xiaoming's son "Little Sponge" has made a positive appearance in the media.

You know, before this, the leader had always expressed that he did not want his child's appearance to be exposed in order to protect his son from being disturbed and hurt by the outside world.

But now, that group of unscrupulous paparazzi ignored people's wishes and directly released the frontal face photo without any cover.

No wonder Huang Xiaoming exploded!

The paparazzi's actions have obviously touched his bottom line.

"These guys are really annoying."

Liu Yifei came out of the bathroom and looked at the news online. She subconsciously touched her belly and complained angrily.

As an expectant mother, she can now especially understand Huang Xiaoming's feelings.

The child was exposed for no reason. Won't he be in trouble in the future?

After all, he has no interest in letting his son appear at a young age to gain traffic and attention, because this is extremely detrimental to the child's physical and mental health and early growth.

Liu Yifei also holds the same idea.

The same goes for Chen Fei.

"Don't worry, these guys are almost done."

Chen Fei watched coldly, and what he thought of in his mind was the fact that his wedding had been exposed in advance.

At that time, he had specifically instructed Su Guohai to work together to push for a ban on paparazzi.

I think there should be a result soon. In addition to Huang Xiaoming's outburst, the relevant press releases about Wu Yu's film "The Chase" on Weibo are also continuing to ferment.

"This morning, the movie "The Chase" held its premiere press conference in the capital. Director Wu Yu and starring actors Zhang Hanyu, Fukuyama Masaharu, Qi Wei, Sakuraba Nanami and other main creative members attended the event."

"'The Manhunt' is a remake of the film of the same name starring Ken Takakura 41 years ago. At the premiere, the creators expressed their nostalgia and love for the old version.

Zhang Hanyu said that he had watched the old version of "The Chase" no less than 30 times, and it indirectly influenced his artistic path; Director Wu Yu said that his creative path had been deeply influenced by Japanese films, and filming in Japan this time was a dream come true; and Fukuyama Masaharu said that he was very excited when he first received the script, and when he heard that he could work with Director Wu Yu, he directly agreed to the invitation. "

"The premiere specially set up a 'gun king competition' segment. The director praised Qi Wei for 'shooting with a look that was as handsome as the two men' and she was awarded the title of 'gun king'. Wu Yu presented her with a 'roasted chicken' as a championship reward.

As the press conference was drawing to a close, Zhang Hanyu and Fukuyama Masaharu performed a musical show, with the former singing and the latter playing guitar accompaniment, performing the "Song of Duqiu", which triggered a climax at the event.

"Many professional film critics praised the chases and gunfights in "The Hunt" as impressive and brisk, with the gorgeousness of the scenes as rich as the memories of Wu Yu's films 20 years ago."

After all, it was the premiere press release for the movie, and looking around, almost all of it was praise.

This has also made many people inexplicably look forward to it. Is Wu Yu's "The Chase" really going to be a success? Is the failure of "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing" really going to be washed away?
Time soon came to the 24th.

Chen Fei and Han Sanping, who had just returned from the crew of "Nobody", walked into the cinema together.

The latter had come back to do his year-end performance report, and happened to be free today, so Chen Fei asked him to go out and watch "The Chase" together.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were not very interested in this movie, so the two best friends decided to go watch "Coco" together.

"Do you think Wu Yu's film can redeem himself?"

San Ye is still a little bit upset about the two projects "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing". The damn Wu Yu has cheated him again and again, and he is almost vomiting blood because of that guy!
Chen Fei laughed when he heard this: "Remake a movie that was made over 40 years ago? What do you think?"

"Let's watch the movie first, and then we'll talk after we're done."

Han Sanping was not prepared to make any comment. He was just holding his breath and had no way to release it.

The two found their seats and sat down. The lights gradually dimmed and the movie began.

As soon as the film opens, the familiar Wu Yu-style gun battle scene appears first.

One could clearly hear a lot of exclamations in the theater, and it seemed that some people were sighing at how wonderful this scene was.

However, as the plot progressed, many viewers began to frown.

Because everyone gradually discovered that the rhythm of this movie seemed a bit chaotic, the plot connection was not smooth enough, and the character portrayal was even more thin.

However, those most crucial elements that once made people's blood boil in Wu Yu's films seem to have lost their souls in "The Chase".

Halfway through the movie, fans were already filled with disappointment.

Chen Fei couldn't help but recall the collection of Wu Yu's wonderful works that his acting teacher had shown him when he was in college.

For example, the friendship between Danny Lee and Chow Yun-fat in "A Better Tomorrow" showed the brilliance of humanity in the midst of gunfire and hail of bullets;

The elegance and romance of Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Cherie Chung in "A Chinese Odyssey" immerse people in a world full of fantasy.

But the current "The Chase" can't make people get back that feeling.

The two hours ended quickly, the lights came on, and the audience stood up and left one after another.

Chen Fei and Han Sanping also followed the crowd out of the theater.

"What do you think of this movie?" After getting in the car, Han Sanping couldn't help but asked first.

Chen Fei slowly shook his head: "From a professional perspective, this movie has many problems. For example, the logic of the plot is not strict enough, the characterization is not deep enough, and many plots are handled very hastily. Although Wu Yu's previous style is still there, it no longer has that kind of eye-catching feeling."

"This guy is finished. There will be no place for him in the mainland film and television industry from now on."

Han Sanping's mood suddenly became quite high. All the depression she had suffered due to the failure of "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing" seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

If we use words from fantasy novels to describe it, Wu Yu is Han Sanping's inner demon!

And now, with the release of "The Manhunt", after confirming that the movie is indeed not that good, San Ye's inner demons have been completely broken.

On the other hand, La Peikang was more depressed.

Overnight, the first day box office of "The Chase" was released.

The result of 2936.6 million made Chairman Lada feel sad.

The many negative reviews online made him breathe faster and he almost passed out!

"I heard that Director Wu is in poor health and owes money, so please be lenient with him for making such a mess. The motives, characters, lines and shots are inexplicable. One star is given for the mysterious laughs brought by the final brawl. Haha, if this movie can get more than six points on Douban, I will eat my keyboard."

“I am very grateful to Director Wu for mobilizing a top-notch team from China, Japan and South Korea to create such a comedy that combines police, gangsters, suspense, zombies and mutants. I also congratulate Director Wu for officially becoming the king of old jokes. When the scene with the white pigeon came out, I almost laughed like a pig, hahahahahaha.”

"The story is old-school, but the brotherhood and romantic feelings are very fan-oriented, even a bit like selling homosexuality, haha, maybe Hong Kong fans will like it."

"It's not that I'm a straight man! Can Director Wu's daughter please lose some weight? You're filming a movie?! And you're a killer! The lines are so stupid that the whole audience burst out laughing."

"Red Cliff, The Crossing, The Manhunt... What's going on with China Film Group? Why does it always invest in such crappy movies?"

In the huge office, La Peikang was breathing rapidly and having trouble calming down.

But at this moment, the secretary pushed the door open and brought him another piece of bad news: "Boss La, all major cinema chains have lowered the screening schedule of "The Chase"..."

Before he could finish his words, the secretary keenly noticed that something was not right with La Peikang's expression and stopped talking immediately.

"I understand, get out."

La Peikang waved his hands, leaned back in his chair exhausted, and it took him a long time to recover.

At this moment, the inner demon that originally belonged to Han Sanping completely descended upon him.

On the second day of its release, "The Manhunt" earned 2649 million yuan in box office revenue.

On the third day, 1766 million.

On the fourth day, 503 million.

At this point, Wu Yu's blockbuster movie "The Chase", which he had boasted about for months and invested up to 3000 million US dollars, equivalent to about 2 million RMB, was completely ruined!

This wave of losses for China Film is simply incalculable!
La Pei Kang doesn’t even dare to look at the financial statements…

~

After a night, it was November 11th.

Early in the morning, many hot search notices appeared on major entertainment websites:

"The action and suspense film "The Hunt," co-produced by China Film Group Corporation and Media Asia, directed by Wu Yu, and starring Zhang Hanyu, Fukuyama Masaharu, Qi Wei, Ha Ji-won, Wu Feixia and others, grossed a total of RMB 5 million in five days of release."

"The comedy and fantasy film "The Shameful Iron Fist", jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Happy Twist, directed by Song Yang, and starring Ai Lun, Ma Li, Shen Teng and others, has officially ended its second round of key extension screenings. As of now, the total box office of the film has closed at 26.33 billion yuan."

"This morning, the reality-themed movie "Dying to Survive", directed by Chen Fei and written by Han Jianu, starring Qin Hao, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Zhang Yu, Tan Zhuo, Duan Yihong and others, will hold its premiere ceremony in the capital.

At the same time, the film will be officially released in the country in two days, so stay tuned! "

A lot of people came to attend the premiere of "Dying to Survive".

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the first- and second-tier actors, directors, producers, and film and television company bosses in the entire domestic entertainment industry came to the scene.

There is no other reason. Everyone just wants to see what this work, which is adapted from real events and won the Palme d'Or at the 70th Cannes International Film Festival, looks like.
However, the more people come, the more information will flow in the venue.

Just a short while after Chen Fei arrived at the premiere, he heard the news that Wu Yu had escaped back to Hong Kong again!
The reason for running away was the same as before. This time it was because there were too many people cursing "The Chase" and he couldn't bear the pressure, so he ran away again.

When talking about this, Ren Zhonglun smiled so brightly that his face seemed to be blooming.

However, on the other side, La Peikang's face was frighteningly gloomy.

If looks could kill, Chairman Ren would have been riddled with wounds by now!
