It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 1110: "Justice League" is scrapped, "Dying to Survive" succeeds!
Chapter 1110: "Justice League" is scrapped, "Dying to Survive" succeeds!
"You don't know, the Hong Kong media have all blocked his doorstep, but this guy refuses to come out. It's obvious that he wants to be a coward, hahahahahaha..."
Ren Zhonglun's laughter echoed in the small circle, faintly spreading out and attracting the attention of many people around.
Looking at his smile and then looking at La Peikang's angry eyes on the other side, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing.
Han Sanping on the side seemed quite sad. It was because the share price of China Film Group Corporation had fallen a lot due to the failure of "The Chase".
As a result, his assets also shrunk a lot.
"I asked you to invest in Shanghai Film Group, but you refused and insisted on meddling with China Film Group. Now you're fine, aren't you? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
After gossiping about La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun started to gossip about Han Sanping.
However, the Third Master ignored him and turned around to greet Tong Gang who came in from outside.
"Look, I got it right. Are you embarrassed?"
Today, Ren Zhonglun is like a thorn that specifically targets China Film Group Corporation. After stabbing La Peikang, he went on to stab Han Sanping.
But the latter two couldn't convince him.
There's nothing they can do. Who told them to suffer such a big setback because of Wu Yu?
It was not until the premiere of "Dying to Survive" was officially announced that Ren Zhonglun finally stopped his behavior of "shooting with the camera close to his face" and sat down steadily in the chair.
On his left and right, Han Sanping and La Peikang stayed away from him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Both of them were actually a little defensive at this moment, and could not stand Ren Zhonglun's poisonous mouth at all!
In fact, many people have already seen the movie "Dying to Survive", after all, the movie has been shown at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival.
But even so, many people are still deeply attracted by the wonderful plot when watching the movie today.
There are even many moviegoers who are still deeply lost in thought after watching a movie, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
Because there are so many conflicting points in the film, it is really difficult for everyone to find a suitable answer.
When law and morality are in conflict, is it illegal to sell generic drugs to save lives?
Generic drugs are pirated and should be blocked as a matter of course. However, in reality, some genuine, so-called life-saving drugs are so expensive that people cannot even afford them. Can they still be called medicine?
When law and morality are in conflict, when money and conscience are in conflict, where should ordinary people go?
For a moment, the huge premiere venue seemed a little quiet.
It wasn't until Chen Fei led a group of main creators to the stage and officially announced that they would take out 5% of the box office revenue of "Dying to Survive" to set up an exclusive leukemia relief foundation that the scene suddenly became lively!
"Donating money again?"
At this moment, many utilitarian filmmakers looked at Chen Fei in the stands as if he were a fool.
As we all know, the box office revenue of realistic films is usually not very high.
And "Dying to Survive" is a perfect example of such films.
The box office wasn't that high to begin with, and yet they took out 5% of the box office revenue to set up a relief foundation. Isn't that just throwing money out of their own pockets?
"Tsk tsk, how noble! You really only want to gain reputation, not box office?"
Below the stage, Wang Zhonglei's mocking voice was heard by many people around him, but no one spoke out to refute it.
After all, everyone can be puzzled.
A realistic film that uses so many big names definitely means that the investment cost of the film will be very high.
Under such circumstances, we still have to donate the box office revenue. What kind of mentality is this?
"I guess this is also a marketing trick. In the end, they just symbolically spend a few million to fool the media and fans. Isn't this a successful way to get traffic and popularity?"
Wang Zhonglei agreed with Feng Xiaogang's analysis. The two looked at each other and felt as if they had suddenly realized something.
The real rivals of "Youth" are movies like "Legend of the Demon Cat" and "Ready Player One". As for "Dying to Survive", they don't even take it seriously.
Many people, including the two of them, even thought that this movie would probably only make 4 to 5 million yuan at the box office.
After all, how could an art film be more popular than a commercial film?
At this time, a reporter in the front row suddenly asked Chen Fei about his expectations for the box office of this movie, hoping that he could make an early prediction.
However, what puzzled everyone present was that this time, Fade Chen did not make any predictions, but only said: "Everyone can look forward to it, maybe there will be a surprise."
As soon as these words came out, many people frowned.
Looking forward to it?
Will there be a surprise?
Why do you have a weird feeling?
"Could it be possible that this movie's box office could reach 30 billion? Hehehehe..."
Feng Xiaogang chuckled softly, but suddenly he got stuck while laughing.
He suddenly thought, what should he do if this movie is really a big hit at the box office and affects "Youth"?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He shook his head heavily and forced the thought down.
This kind of thing is too magical, how could it happen?
This is reality!
It's not some fantasy novel.
……
After the premiere of "Dying to Survive" ended, at noon that day, all the guests present also participated in the celebration banquet of "Shameful Iron Fist".
When the ice containing 26.33 billion words was broken, the lunch officially began.
"You really know how to save trouble. You put the premiere banquet of "Dying to Survive" and the celebration banquet of "The Shameful Iron Fist" together, and directly saved a meal?"
Hearing Jiang Wen's teasing, Fade Chen laughed: "I heard that you were too busy with the post-production work of "Evil Never Dies", so I'm saving you some time so that you don't have to make two trips."
"Hey? How does this become thinking about me?"
"Hahahahaha."
The two chatted for a few words when Yang Shoucheng suddenly came over with a glass of wine.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, another movie with a box office of nearly 30 billion has been successfully launched. This is so enviable."
Chen Fei raised his glass and clinked it with his: "It's just that I'm luckier."
"Alas, I wish Ying Huang could have the same luck as you."
Yang Shoucheng's words have some "meaning".
You know, since the two parties’ cooperation on the "Ip Man" project came to an end, they have never launched any new cooperation plans.
In addition, the Hong Kong films released in theaters in the past few months have been flopped one after another, which has put Ying Huang under a lot of pressure.
Chen Fei thought about it and said bluntly: "Director Yang, if there is a suitable project in the future, I will naturally invite Ying Huang to participate. After all, your company has always been a good partner of Feiyue Film and Television.
But there are really no suitable projects in the near future, I am afraid I will disappoint you.”
"It's okay, it's okay, we can cooperate if we are destined to do so." Yang Shoucheng did not show much regret, and continued with a smile: "It's the same for Yinghuang. If there is a new project, we will definitely send a copy to Feiyue Film and Television."
"okay."
Chen Fei smiled and nodded to accept it, but he didn't have much expectation in his heart.
The glorious era of Hong Kong films has long passed, and among the current film projects, apart from continuing to burn out old projects, how many good projects are there?
The movie "Kung Fu League" directed by Liu Zhenwei has been quite popular recently.
The slogan "We want to make the Chinese version of The Avengers" was shouted particularly loudly, and the Hong Kong media was also praising it crazily, as if the movie was so awesome.
But how good it is, probably only Liu Zhenwei himself knows best.
Just after saying goodbye to Yang Shoucheng, Chen Fei welcomed Chen Long. "If you have time, remember to come to the premiere of "Blood Machine". The movie will be released on December 12. Please give me your advice, haha..."
Chen Fei took the invitation to the premiere handed to him by Chen Long, and his expression was quite interesting.
If the most famous female model worker in the Chinese film and television industry is Yang Mi, then the male model worker is definitely Chen Long. No one can compare to him!
Not long after October's "The Foreigner" was offline, "Blooding Steel" was released.
Then I heard that he is planning to cooperate with Sony Columbia to dub an animated film!
You know, he is 63 years old this year! This energy is unparalleled.
……
After attending the premiere of "Dying to Survive" and the celebration banquet of "Shameful Iron Fist", Chen Fei took Liu Yifei into the car and left.
Only after waving goodbye to the fans outside the car window did Liu Yifei let out a sigh of relief: "I thought someone would notice that I was pregnant today, but I didn't expect that no one would notice, hehe."
Hearing this, Fade Chen reached out and touched her slightly bulging belly, and said, "That's because the clothes you are wearing today are very loose. If you were wearing a dress, you would definitely be exposed."
"It seems I have to go out less in the future, and after the release of 'Dying to Survive', my work will officially come to an end."
"Rest assured and take care of the baby?"
"Yeah, just rest assured and take care of your baby, hehe."
The two of them haven't even got home yet, but the press release related to the premiere of "Dying to Survive" has already been released online.
"This morning, the film "Dying to Survive" officially held its global premiere in Beijing. Director Chen Fei and assistant director and screenwriter Han Jianu, along with leading actors Qin Hao, Liu Yifei, Zhang Yu, Tan Zhuo, Duan Yihong and other main creators, all appeared on the scene."
"Director Zhang Yimou commented on the film, saying that the subject matter of the film directly touches on the pain points of the people in reality regarding the political system and the medical system, which is easy to resonate with. The story is also about small people who are not "great and glorious". As the plot progresses, the audience and the protagonist experience the baptism of values together. It can be called the Chinese version of "Dallas Buyer Club"!"
"When interviewed, many big names in the industry said that the key words of this film are 'courage' and 'responsibility', and it is a rare masterpiece in Chinese-language films!"
"After the film was screened, there was long and enthusiastic applause from the audience, which shows that the quality of the film "Dying to Survive" is very good!"
"There is true love in the world, let's work together to help patients! Director Chen Fei officially announced at the premiere of "Dying to Survive" that he will use 5% of the box office revenue to set up a foundation to help families of leukemia patients overcome difficulties!"
One announcement after another kept appearing on the screen, attracting the attention of many netizens and fans.
Especially the last piece of news, "Establishing a foundation to help leukemia patients overcome difficulties", has attracted heated discussions and debates from countless people:
"You are indeed my favorite idol, so awesome! Director Chen! I am so proud of you!"
"In his previous film "Dear", which was produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Director Chen donated all the box office revenue to the anti-trafficking cause, helping many children successfully find their parents. Now "Dying to Survive" is helping leukemia patients again. This is really admirable!"
"I won't say anything more. When this movie comes out, I will definitely go and support it."
"I don't think donating to the Red Cross is of much use, but watching Dying to Survive can definitely help those who need help."
"No matter whether the movie is good or not, I will sit through it even if it takes a few hours."
"Chen Fei Fan Club! And friends from Liu Yifei Fan Club! Now it's our turn to perform! The pre-sale tickets are already on sale, everyone hurry up!"
With heated discussions all over the Internet, when the time came to November 11th, the pre-sale box office of "I Am Not a God of Medicine" had exceeded 30 million, which shocked countless people in the industry!
After a night, the time officially turned to December 12st. With a comprehensive screening schedule of up to 1% given by major theaters, "Dying to Survive" was officially launched!
There were also many domestic films released at the same time as this movie.
It’s a pity that under the pressure of “Dying to Survive”, these domestic films are worse than each other, and the overall screening schedule of theaters is simply too low to be appalling!
There were many opposing opinions. Guo Degang even posted a Weibo, using the poem "Descendants of noble families occupy high positions, while talented people are relegated to lower positions; it is the terrain that makes it so, and it has not been a one-day thing" to describe the unfairness of the major cinema chains in scheduling films.
You know, today the "Crosstalk Movie: I Want Happiness" starring him, Yu Qian and Xiao Yueyue was officially launched for public screening.
However, the overall screening rate of this movie on the first day was only 6.5%, which is almost negligible.
No wonder he posted a message to complain.
However, looking around, almost no one in the film and television industry paid attention to his complaints.
Because everyone is curious about how high the box office of "Dying to Survive" will soar on the first day?
Many netizens are now calling for support for this film and to make a contribution to helping the leukemia patient community.
But the extent of the final contribution is undoubtedly still an unknown.
Back at the villa, Fade Chen was also looking forward to the film's first-day box office performance.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could see the box office of "Dying to Survive", he suddenly received several emails from Hollywood.
When he opened it, he was shocked to find that something strange had happened to DC's "Justice League" again!
Just a few days ago, Ray Fisher, the actor who played "Cyborg", suddenly made a public statement, accusing Joss Whedon of his bad behavior on the set.
According to him, Joss Whedon was extremely rude and often treated actors in a condescending and bossy manner at work.
During the filming of some scenes, Joss Whedon not only lacked patience with the actors' performances, but also used insulting language to accuse them, completely disregarding the actors' dignity.
At the same time, he was extremely unprofessional in his creative work, frequently making unreasonable changes to the script, which seriously damaged the coherence and logic of the characters...
When this long accusation article appeared, Jason Momoa, the actor who played "Aquaman", did not hesitate to speak out in support of Fisher and also accused Joss Whedon of a lot of bad behavior.
"I think actors need a fair and harmonious creative environment on the set, and Joss Whedon's behavior obviously destroyed this environment and made us very painful in our work..."
Later, Gal Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, also came out to reveal her tragic experience:
"To be honest, I was once threatened by Joss Whedon that if I didn't obey, he would ruin my career... During the filming process, in order to achieve the effect he wanted, he did not hesitate to threaten my future. This behavior has seriously violated professional ethics and industry norms."
Following the voices of these people, many people outside suddenly realized that there might be a lot of darkness behind the "Justice League" crew!
As negative events continued to ferment and public pressure grew, Warner "had to" launch an investigation into the production issues of "Justice League" under the arrangement of Kevin Tsujihara.
Afterwards, even Hamada, who had resigned from his post, spoke out in pain, saying that he had wrongly trusted Joss Whedon, which led to the disastrous failure of "Justice League"!
For a time, all the pressure from public opinion was piled on Joss Whedon, which directly crushed him.
In fact, most people can see that Warner and DC are looking for a "scapegoat", and Joss Whedon is undoubtedly a good choice.
Under their guidance, the fans' anger was focused on Joss Whedon.
Although his crimes were indeed unforgivable, he was also accused of many false charges for no reason.
If nothing unexpected happens, he may not even have a place in Hollywood in the future.
"I heard that the Warner executives were originally planning to target Kevin Tsujihara, but he managed to get a lot of people to help him draw the attention and he eventually managed to escape."
Listening to Natasha's words on the other end of the phone, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really smart. He sacrificed the pawn to save the king?"
"He is in a high position, so it is not so easy for him to fall."
After Chen Fei thought for a moment, he specifically instructed: "Go and tell Amy Nott to take some time to keep an eye on Kevin Tsujihara and see if you can get some dirty information from him."
"Are you going to deal with him?" Natasha asked in surprise.
"There are no plans for the time being, but we can make some preparations in advance. Who knows, maybe he will come over and seek his own death?"
"Okay, I'll contact Amy right away."
After ending the call, Natasha went to contact people, while Fade Chen focused his attention on the emails on his computer again.
He had worked with Joss Whedon many times before, but he never thought that this guy could do so many weird things!
I have to say, it’s true that you can’t judge a person by his appearance!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
"come in."
While answering, Fade Chen subconsciously turned his head and looked outside the door.
As expected, the person who came in was Liu Yifei.
At this time, Miss Liu had a bright smile on her face. As soon as she entered the room, she shouted, "Dying to Survive is a success! Douban's opening score is 9.2! It's got lots of good reviews!"
