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

Chapter 1161 Character selection...Hot events...Running away?!
After the filming of "The Captain" was officially announced, Chen Fei once again returned to his "hands-off" state.

The chief director is Kang Honglei, the assistant directors are Han Jianu and Wen Muye, and the leading actors are Wu Jing, Zhu Yawen, Huang Jingyu, Zhou Xun...

With this lineup, what is there to worry about?

When you have free time, just visit the crew. There is no need to stay there all day and watch over them.

What's more, Chen Fei still has his own things to do.

On the 2nd, he arranged for someone to send the script of "Borderbreaker" to the Film Bureau for review first.

Then he contacted Red Bull and focused on understanding the various types of equipment, related filming equipment, and procedural approvals.

After all, many scenes of this movie need to be shot abroad, and we have to contact the local authorities in advance.

In this regard, Red Bull is undoubtedly very good at it.

After all, they often organize various "extreme challenge" activities and have dealt with the heads of many regions, so they are very experienced and knowledgeable in shooting approval.

"Fei, don't worry. As long as it is a task assigned by you, we will definitely go all out to help you complete it successfully!"

Flory patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

After finishing the communication with Red Bull, Fade Chen opened his address book and found a phone number.

"Beep beep..."

The ringing lasted for more than ten seconds before the answer button was pressed.

"Hey?"

"Brother Chen Long?"

"Ouch!? Chen Fei? It's you! I thought I was seeing things. The caller ID only said 'Director Chen'. I almost thought it was Brother Chen Kai calling."

"Haha, then quickly change the note."

"Okay, I'll change it later..."

After a few pleasantries, Chen Long asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Well, there is indeed something I need your help with." Chen Fei responded, and then went straight to the point: "I have a role here, and I think it belongs to you! So I want to ask if you have any time available after October?"

"It's empty, it's all empty!"

Since going to Hollywood in April to dub the animated film "Wish Dragon", Chen Long has not taken on any other new film projects.

From the year before last to now, he has filmed many film and television dramas and TV series, including "Kung Fu Yoga", "The Foreigner", "Detective Pu Songling", "Blood Machine", "The Convenience Store of Sorrow", "The Mystery of Dragon Brand", etc., and he can be called a "model worker" in the film industry!
You know, he is already 64 years old this year!

At such an advanced age, coupled with such an intensity of work, it directly caused serious damage to his body.

So after "The Foreigner" was released last year, he has not taken on any new dramas and instead gave himself a whole year of rest.

As for the next project, I'm afraid it will be after the middle of next year.

Tang Jili is currently writing a new script, which he has been preparing for ten years. It is a movie about international security.

Because it involves global filming, the project's early preparations are relatively complicated, and the earliest start time will be after June next year.

Therefore, Chen Long is currently in a period of rest.

He was almost going crazy with so much free time! But in order to recover as quickly as possible to be able to adapt to filming action scenes, he could only stay at home.

And Chen Fei's call undoubtedly made him excited instantly!

"In my plot and character design, the character of Lao Zhou must be an actor with good enough skills. After all, he used to be an extreme athlete, but he had to retire because of injuries and terminal illness..."

Chen Fei originally wanted to meet with Chen Long to have a detailed discussion, but because the other party was in Hong Kong at the moment, they would definitely not be able to meet in the short term, so they could only have a brief chat on the phone first.

However, even though he only briefly described the plot framework and basic character design of "Boundary Breaker" (The Greatest Thief), Chen Long was still stunned.

Real scene shooting, eight extreme challenges, questioning nature with flesh and blood...

Listening to these words is so fucking exciting!

You know, as a world-renowned action actor, labels such as "not afraid of death", "daring to challenge", and "facing life and death and fear" have always been used to describe Chen Long.

In "The Lucky Stars", he skated under a truck on roller skates; in "Project A", he jumped off a clock tower without protection; in "Police Story", he hooked a bus with an umbrella; in "Dragon Brothers", he jumped from a cliff onto a hot air balloon; in "Who Am I", he jumped from the roof of the 21-story Tongtai Building in Rotterdam, the Netherlands without protection...

He has been in the film industry for decades and has caused countless deaths!
But compared to what Chen Fei said about the plot and filming style of "Boundary Breaker", he suddenly found that the dangerous scenes he had filmed in the past were just childish games and not worth mentioning at all!
"I've accepted this project. You're right. The role of 'Lao Zhou' was indeed tailor-made for me. Hahahahaha!"

He could hardly hide his excitement when he thought about following Chen Fei to experience those thrilling and exciting challenges.

If he wasn't old now, he would have gone with Chen Fei no matter what to see who has a tougher life!
"I have already sent the script for review. Once it passes review and is approved, please fly to the capital in person so that we can review the script and the subsequent filming plan."

"Okay, no problem. I happen to have to fly to the capital tomorrow, so you can contact me anytime."

"Yeah, okay."

After the call was disconnected, Fade Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

The role of "Chen Chuang" will be played by him personally, and now another key role "Lao Zhou" has also been confirmed, which means that the basic framework of "Boundary Breaker" has been successfully set up.

According to the setting, these two characters are the most critical in this movie.

As for other supporting roles, except for Liu Yifei who will play the role of a "medical staff", the other roles are not very exciting. We can just call people to come and make a cameo appearance when the time comes.

The reason why Chen Long was chosen to play the role of "Lao Zhou" was actually a decision made by Chen Fei after careful consideration.

In his plan, this film must be released worldwide.

His own popularity is definitely enough to support the role of "Chen Chuang", but the role of 'Lao Zhou', as the master of "Chen Chuang", also has very strict requirements.

First of all, he must be Chinese and famous enough, otherwise the character cannot be supported at all.

There are many veteran actors in China with superb acting skills, but there are only a handful of actors who have not only superb acting skills but also can drive box office results and have box office appeal in the global film market!
After much thought, Chen Fei still felt that Chen Long was the most suitable. Moreover, it would not be too inappropriate for him to play the role of his "master".

After all, before Chen Fei first became famous for his roles as an "Extreme Challenge" and "action actor", Chen Long, Bruce Lee, Li Lianjie and others had already become popular all over the world as "Kung Fu superstars"!
Now, Bruce Lee has passed away, and Li Lianjie is suffering from illness, so only Chen Long is still active in the film and television industry.

So, it’s definitely right to choose him!
In the next few days, Chen Fei was busy with project preparation and crew setting up.

People from Red Bull also rushed over from Austria and New York to work with him.

At the same time, a group of people from DJI have also arrived, and they will provide logistical work such as drone photography and equipment maintenance.

After all, there are some places that staff and photographers cannot go to, such as climbing Mount Everest and surfing on the sea. At that time, professional unmanned filming equipment must be used to assist.

Several days passed quickly...

The sudden appearance of a big piece of news briefly interrupted Chen Fei's work progress.

"Liu Qiangdong? Vacationing in the United States? Suspected of sexual assault? And sued in court?"

Looking at these hot searches and hot topics that suddenly appeared on the Internet, Chen Fei was indeed a little surprised.

Didn't this guy often say that he "didn't know how beautiful his wife was"? How did he get involved in a sexual assault case out of nowhere?

Looking around, the heated discussion about Dong Zi on the Internet is so overwhelming that it even overshadowed the news of the release of "Mission: Impossible 6: Fallout" and the official start of casting for "The New King of Comedy".

Even though JD.com issued a statement saying that it was just a misunderstanding, netizens didn't believe it at all.

The main reason is that Wang Sicong danced so happily.

It would have been fine if he just forwarded the article, but he even added the caption "booked a big melon" and vowed: "I think we didn't reach an agreement on the price, and we'll know after we go to court..."

With his help, the matter became more and more popular! Various speculations and rumors continued, which directly led to certain impacts and fluctuations in JD.com's stock price.

At one point, there was even some unverified information and photos circulating on the Internet, which led to rumors spreading everywhere and many people who were just watching the fun didn't know where to start.

"Who is this Jiang Pingting?" Liu Yifei was obviously not a professional spectator and was led astray.

"An internet celebrity is either trying to take advantage of others' popularity or is deliberately marketing themselves to get traffic."

Although the truth of the incident has not yet been revealed, Chen Fei feels that Dongzi should not be so hungry.

No matter how much he doesn't know how beautiful his wife is, he shouldn't do anything to this internet celebrity, right?

With his wealth and status, he can find any woman he wants, so why would he throw dirty water on himself?
"Liu Qiangdong said he is face-blind and doesn't know if his wife is beautiful or not. What about you? Are you face-blind? Do you think his wife is beautiful or not?"

The fatal question was suddenly thrown out!
Chen Fei's heart suddenly started to alarm!

After thinking for a moment, he answered seriously: "I actually have intermittent prosopagnosia."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei looked over with a confused look on her face.

"The specific symptom is that, apart from you, I have face blindness when looking at other women. No matter how beautiful they are, they can never be as beautiful as you in my eyes."

"Hehe, really? Is that true? Let me see what's wrong with your eyes. Why do you still have this problem?"

Liu Yifei was obviously very satisfied with Chen Fei's answer. She lay on him with a look of joy, staring into his eyes and pecking at his mouth like a little bird.

This reaction immediately made Fade Chen realize that he had actually come up with a perfect answer!
For a moment, the sense of accomplishment in his heart was overflowing!

Liu Yifei keenly noticed his reaction and immediately issued a "second child warning."

However, what she didn't realize was that her warnings had failed several times, or at least had no effect almost every time.

In the end, it is the toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom that suffer.

……

"The Hollywood blockbuster Mission: Impossible 6: Fallout was released for six days and the box office revenue was reported to be 6 million RMB."

"Yesterday evening, Jiang Pingting, a mainland actress and winner of the Miss Chongqing beauty pageant's Best Talent Award, issued a statement on Weibo, denying that she knew Liu Qiangdong, and said that she didn't want to pay attention to these rumors, but the situation gradually escalated and brought great pressure to her life..."

"The Film Bureau announced the latest list of approved film and television scripts. The exploration, action and adventure film "Breakers" submitted by Feiyue Films has successfully passed the review, and the relevant filming license has been successfully issued."

"As of today, the online dramas and TV series "Dear, Beloved", "Ice Breaking Operation", "Celebrating More Than Years", and "Under the Power" exclusively produced by Feiyue Films have been announced to be completed one after another.

Producer Jiang Xuerou said in an interview that these four TV series covering different themes will be released next year, so stay tuned!

"Noon Sunshine announced that the ancient costume love drama "Do You Know It Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", starring Zhao Liying, Feng Shaofeng, Zhu Yilong and other actors, will be premiered on Mango TV's Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater on December 12 this year, and will be broadcast simultaneously on iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Youku Video."

The Dongzi incident has been a "hot topic" recently, and a lot of people are paying attention to it.

As Jiang Pingting's statement came out, there was an immediate wave of heated discussion and debate online.

Everyone is very curious. Since this woman has nothing to do with Dongzi, then who is the person who is entangled with Dongzi?

And why did he go to America to do that?

For a time, even remarks such as "conspiracy theory" and "honey trap" emerged.

At the same time, many people have also paid attention to the latest film project that Feiyue Film and Television has passed the review.

The three words "Boundary Breaker" left many people confused.

However, the words such as challenging the limits, questioning nature, and the road to redemption described in the script introduction left many people stunned.

The themes of exploration, action, and adventure have also led many people to make bold guesses.

The voices inquiring about the news have begun to spread in the film and television circles.

There were even calls to Chen Fei.

But! He ignored it all!
It wasn't that he wanted to keep the news secret or conceal it, but because he was focusing on something else at the moment.

——Wang Zhonglei actually ran away!
