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

Chapter 1128 The Effect of the Butterfly Effect

"This morning, Edko Films held an apology press conference. Chairman Jiang Zhiqiang shed tears and apologized sincerely, saying that the company bears an unshirkable responsibility for this box office fraud incident, will severely punish the relevant responsible persons, and promised to abide by industry rules in the future and not to engage in similar behavior again..."

"Monster Hunt 2 has grossed 14.68 billion yuan in its first week of release. Currently, the film has been forced to be removed from theaters nationwide due to suspected serious violations."

"The movie "Wushuang" was released for 7 days, and the cumulative box office was reported to be 14.82 billion - Maoyan app."

"The movie "Lost in Hong Kong" has grossed 10.96 billion yuan at the box office so far - Maoyan app."

"The movie White Snake: Origin, released for one week, grossed 5.35 million yuan - Maoyan app."

"Journey to the West: The Women Kingdom" has been online for seven days and has accumulated a total box office of 6.34 million yuan - Tao Piaopiao app."

"The total box office of '9820th Generation of Ancestors' is currently 1072 million yuan, and the daily box office has dropped to million yuan, and the box office potential has plummeted."

"..."

It is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and many cattle and horses have returned to their posts.

At the same time, the "box office boosting" of "Monster Hunt 2" also officially came to an end.

The General Administration first issued a notice to directly revoke the film distribution license of Emperor Entertainment Group. Then, when the latter realized that it was no longer able to turn the situation around, it finally held an apology press conference "unwillingly".

Chen Fei deliberately took a look at the news reposted from Hong Kong.

It can be clearly seen that Jiang Zhiqiang has not given up yet, and his words reveal an attitude of "I will definitely come back".

Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Even a top-tier Chinese entertainment actress like Zhang Ziyi had to miss nearly half a year due to childbirth, and was suppressed and unable to return to the film industry... Where does your Enlightenment Films get such a big face?
The resources, channels and infrastructure in the mainland have now been shattered. After the five-year ban period, the scene will have changed dramatically.

Still want to rebuild?

It’s simply a fool’s errand!

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Yifei called out, "Fade Chen, it's time to eat!"

"Okay, here we come."

After closing the computer, he went out and met up with Liu Yifei who was pregnant. Chen Fei went to the restaurant with her.

As soon as the old man saw his grandson and his wife coming in, he immediately invited them cheerfully, "I stewed an old hen, you two come and try it."

"Yeah, okay, thank you grandpa."

Miss Liu was very sweet-spoken and responded with a smile.

"Huh? Where's Shu Chang?"

Chen Fei was preparing to serve the meal when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone missing at home.

"She left home early in the morning. The sound recording of 'Time Travel Together' wasn't very good, so the director asked her to do the dubbing."

After the Chinese New Year, the film and television industry experienced a brief cooling-off period, but the cattle and horses have been shackled again.

The old man muttered, "Poor girl, she has to go back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. In the past, we would wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before the New Year was officially over."

"Things are different now."

Chen Fei sighed, and while drinking chicken soup, he said to Liu Yifei: "I have to attend Baoqiang's wedding on the tenth day of the first lunar month. When I come back, we will go back to your grandmother's house together.

I can stay until the end of this month at the latest, and then I have to fly to Hollywood. The Oscars will be held soon, and then Avengers 4 will start shooting..."

Just now he was lamenting that Shu Chang had become a "cow and horse", but now, isn't he the same?

"Good drop."

Liu Yifei was quite happy when talking about going back to her hometown.

Liu Xiaoli has already gone back early. She even called me via video last night and said that she had prepared a lot of delicious food for me.

"Don't forget to buy things for your in-laws." The old man reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it."

Chen Fei responded with a smile.

After dinner, Liu Yifei wanted to catch up on some sleep.

After sending her back to the room, Fade Chen walked out the door and headed straight to the company.

In fact, Feiyue Films officially resumed work and business yesterday on the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, but it will take at least two or three days to get back on track.

Just today, when Chen Fei arrived at the company, he found that a group of people were still reminiscing about the New Year. It was definitely impossible for them to devote themselves to work in a short period of time.

Based on this, he directly called the finance department and sent out a wave of New Year red envelopes.

The amount is not much, only 1000 yuan per person.

But once the money was in hand, everyone's enthusiasm increased significantly.

"Cows and horses" also need to eat grass. If they are only asked to work without eating, they will definitely give up.

Chen Fei turned on his computer and logged onto an entertainment news website. He immediately saw the news that the Love Apartment Movie would be released on August 8 during the summer vacation.

In addition, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", starring Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua, has also been officially announced to be broadcast simultaneously on Jiangsu Satellite TV and Dragon TV on August 8.

As for the online streaming platform, Youku still successfully took it.

So far, Youku already has two harem "masterpieces", "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and the traffic profits are skyrocketing!

However, when thinking about the "past events" in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", Chen Fei felt a little amused.

He vaguely remembered that after this incident, Zhou Xun was scolded so much that he didn't film a TV series for three years.

Although it was also due to the influence of that special period, the "harm" brought to her by this drama is definitely inevitable.

Because it was the beginning of the new year, Chen Fei had a lot of work to do throughout the day.

Moreover, after March, he will have to stay abroad for a long time, so some arrangements of the company in the first half of the year must be finalized.

On the eighth and ninth days of the first lunar month, Chen Fei was busy in the company. He also took the time to buy gifts for Liu Yifei when she returned to her hometown.

On the tenth day, it was time for Wang Baoqiang and Tong Liya’s wedding.

Although he really wanted to bring Liu Yifei to join in the fun, the wedding scene would definitely be crowded, and the media, reporters, and paparazzi would definitely be there.

In order to prevent external harm and expose her pregnancy, Miss Liu can only stay at home alone.

But she was not alone, because Han Jianuo sneaked out of the company again to play with her.

The post-production work of "Nobody" has already begun. The boring editing work has made Xiao Han miserable, so he must take a break from work to relax.

"Please keep an eye on her for me! If she wants to drink some water, go and help her pour it, don't let her do it herself..."

Before leaving, Chen Fei bluntly told Han Jianu to temporarily act as a "nanny".

"Okay, okay, I got it. You should go quickly. It's already past 10 o'clock. If you're late, you won't be able to have dinner."

Han Jianu urged him impatiently. If she hadn't been caught with something, she would have started to fight back by now.

Chen Fei actually threatened her that if she didn't obey, he would tell her father that she had secretly run away from the company.

Listen!

Is this something a human being can say?

Isn't this like treating cattle and horses as mules and exploiting them?

So, in order to "retaliate" against Chen Fei, as soon as he left the house, Han Jianu pulled Liu Yifei to start a five-row operation!

"Wait a minute, I'll pull a few opponents and let them help us gain points."

"it is good!"

Miss Liu nodded enthusiastically.

She is now like a student who is under strict discipline from her teacher, and is a little bit "rebellious".

She would always secretly do what Chen Fei forbad her to do.

For example, she had been caught secretly eating ice cream by Chen Fei and Liu Xiaoli several times, but she still did not repent and continued to do so.

……

On the way to Baoqiang's wedding, Chen Fei paid some attention to the 68th Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony held last night.

Compared to the two major film festivals, Cannes and Venice, the Berlin Film Festival has not been very popular for several consecutive years.

And this year, because there are no Chinese-language films in the main competition unit, it is recognized as a "small year" among "small years"!
Romanian director Adinun Pintilie's "Touch Me Not" won the Golden Bear for Best Film; Polish director Malgorzata Szumowska's "Faces" won the Silver Bear for the Jury Grand Prix; American director Wes Anderson won the Silver Bear for Best Director for "Isle of Dogs";

French actor Antoine Bayet won the Silver Bear for Best Actor for "The Prayer"; Paraguayan actor Anna Buren won the Silver Bear for Best Actress for "The Heiress"... Looking around, almost all the winners are unknown.

Moreover, the newly crowned Best Actor had only played supporting roles in a few movies before, and the newly crowned Best Actor was a complete newcomer...

This award result gives off a feeling of "backroom manipulation" everywhere.

If the Berlin International Film Festival continues like this, it might one day be removed from the list of the three major European film festivals.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chen Fei. He hasn't been to Berlin in recent years anyway.

In comparison, he still prefers to go to the two major international film festivals, Cannes and Venice.

The former is of high enough value, and the latter can win a big prize as long as he goes. When the organizing committee sees him, they treat him as a "godfather". It's so comfortable to feel valued.

As for the Berlin International Film Festival, due to its "serious" nature, it is more or less discouraging.

~

Baoqiang’s wedding today was so lively!
Outside the banquet hall, there were at least a hundred media reporters carrying cameras, and inside the banquet hall, there were also many people from the circle who came to support him.

As a newly-crowned director with a box office of over 10 billion, many people in the circle come to curry favor with him.

Looking around, the number of second-tier actors is obviously much higher than previously predicted!
"Director Chen, you are here."

As soon as he saw Chen Fei coming in, Wang Baoqiang, who was wearing a neat suit and looked quite proud, hurried over to greet him.

"You are busy, we are all family, don't be polite, I will go find Ning Hao and Huang Bo."

Declining Wang Baoqiang's greeting, Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder and walked to the front row.

"I'll take you to find them. They're both on the right. That area is full of my actors, colleagues, friends, etc. in the industry. Director Ning is helping me as the host and is responsible for receiving these people."

As he walked along, accompanied by voices greeting him, Fade Chen finally saw Ning Hao and Huang Bo.

The latter was holding a handful of melon seeds, cracking them while chatting with Shen Teng next to him.

As for Director Ning, he was showing off his newly bought big gold chain to Guo Fan, causing Xing Aina next to him to roll her eyes at him.

As expected, Chen Fei's arrival caused a commotion at the scene.

Following Ning Hao's shout of "Oh, Mr. Chen is finally here", everyone around him stood up and looked at him with a smile.

"Sit down, everyone. I'm not the protagonist today. I'm just here to enjoy the feast like everyone else."

Chen Fei waved his hand with a smile and sat next to Guo Fan.

When everyone saw him sitting down, they all sat down.

"Why didn't Yifei come?" Xing Aina turned around and asked curiously.

"She's not feeling well."

Chen Fei gave a simple explanation, and Xing Aina understood it instantly. She immediately shut up and stopped asking questions.

But the next second, she took out her cell phone and sent a message, obviously asking Liu Yifei about the details.

At this time, Wang Shiliang came over again and whispered, "Director Chen, I plan to start filming Detective Chinatown 3 after Baoqiang's wedding is over and Lost in Hong Kong is officially off the screen."

Fade Chen nodded. "Okay. It's been more than a year since Detective Chinatown 2 was released. It's about time to start filming Detective Chinatown 3. It will be finished this year and released next year."

"Yes, I think so too. We will start filming now, just in time for the Lunar New Year holiday next year."

"'Detective Chinatown 3' is going to be released during the Lunar New Year period next year? That would be a perfect match. I plan to release 'The Wandering Earth' during the summer vacation period next year."

Guo Fan suddenly interjected, immediately attracting the participation of the rest of the people at the table.

Lu Yang said: "'The Accidental Murderer' will probably be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year."

Yang Yu chuckled and said, "Ne Zha Ba Ba will probably be released during the Spring Festival next year."

Ning Hao quickly interjected after hearing this: "And my "Crazy Alien" will also be released during the Spring Festival next year. Yang Yu, you have to go easy on me!"

"Hey, Director Ning, you're embarrassing me, aren't you? My movie is an animated film, and yours is a live-action comedy. How can we compete with each other?"

"That's true."

Ning Hao laughed and didn't take it seriously.

"That's not necessarily true. When the time comes, don't let the two of you start killing each other, haha." Chen Fei made a meaningful joke.

Ning Hao shook his head, and the big gold chain swayed left and right, with a look on his face like that of a gangster.

"We will definitely not kill each other. When the time comes, we will just join forces and defeat all other movies!"

Hearing this, Shen Teng at the side couldn't help but wonder: "So, next year's Spring Festival, summer vacation, and New Year's Day will all have movies produced by Feiyue Films?
In other words, the only opportunity left for other companies and films is the National Day holiday?"

As we all know, the box office of movies produced by Feiyue Films is definitely not bad, and it is no exaggeration to even say that they are "invincible in the same period."

Based on this, it seems that only the National Day period is left for other films to participate and get a piece of the pie.

However, at this moment, Fade Chen said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to make a movie and schedule it to be released during the National Day holiday next year."

"Um?!"

When he said this, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Huang Bo couldn't wait to ask, "Hey? Are you going to make another Chinese-language film? What's the subject matter? A commercial film? Or an art film to win awards?"

"Commercial Film."

Ning Hao curiously asked, "Comedy?"

"No." Fade Chen shook his head and replied after thinking for a while: "It should be classified as...adventure."

adventure???

As soon as these two words came out, puzzled expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

Just as Guo Fan beside him was about to ask a question excitedly, the emcee's voice suddenly rang out on the stage: "Let's welcome the newlyweds..."

The wedding has officially begun!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Each of you has a firework tube, get ready to fire."

"Come on, give me one."

"I'll count 'one, two, three, fire', and then you fire! Listen to my command and fire together."

"Okay...Everyone, try to put it as high as possible, so as not to spray it on people."

"Hahaha, look at Baoqiang's worthless smile. He seems very happy now, but he will know after he gets married. He will be in trouble."

"Ning Hao? What do you mean? Did I make you suffer after we got married?"

"..."

Accompanied by cheerful music, when Chen Fei shouted "One, two, three, release", the sky above the stage was suddenly covered with flying ribbons.

Wang Baoqiang held Tong Liya's hand, his face full of happiness, joy and a bright smile.

Offstage, Fade Chen felt inexplicably emotional and excited.

Because his "butterfly" flapped its wings, Wang Baoqiang was lucky enough not to meet Ma Rong and Song Zhe in this life, and he did not shoot the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", which brought him a lot of infamy.

Moreover, he had a happy marriage and a fairly fulfilling life...

Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help but smile.

On the stage, the emcee shouted at the two to kiss each other.

Below the stage, Wang Baoqiang’s friends in the circle were also cheering.

On one side of the stage, Wang Baoqiang's mother sat in a wheelchair with a satisfied smile on her face.

The old lady was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She was holding a big red envelope in her hand, waiting to go on stage and give it to her.

After the wedding ceremony was over, Wang Baoqiang immediately brought Tong Liya to the table where Chen Fei and others were sitting, and raised his glass excitedly.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Su, Director Ning, Director Guo, Director Wang, Director Yang, Brother Bo... I want to toast everyone. Thank you very much for coming to my wedding with Yaya."

"Haha, okay, come on, let's go together."

"Have a baby soon! Baoqiang, remember to become a father soon. If there is a father role in my movies in the future, I will ask you to play it."

"Okay!" Wang Baoqiang responded happily.

Tong Liya, who was standing by, blushed when she heard this, but she did not refute.

After all, the two are indeed preparing for pregnancy~
