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

Chapter 1168 The single-plank bridge connecting heaven and hell!
"If we had known this would happen, there would have been no need to do this project!"

"That's right. How could a film project that Feiyue Films strongly disapproves of be successful? Now, the reputation that we had worked so hard to build up has been shattered all at once."

"This is the National Day holiday! On the fifth day of its release, the box office dropped from over 1 million to over 4000 million. It seems that this movie can only barely break even, and there is no hope of making money."

"We are still too naive. Sometimes it is better not to be too self-righteous. It would be right to listen to the advice from Feiyue Film and Television."

"Okay, let's end this meeting here today. Now that the movie has been made, there's no point in saying more. Let's try to recoup the cost as soon as possible, and be cautious with future projects!"

The National Day holiday is about to end in two days, but the total box office of "Li Cha's Aunt" has not yet reached 5 million. It's so tragic!
Compared with the summer vacation movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the performance of this movie is undoubtedly extremely poor.

But now that things have come to this, there is no more medicine to regret except to shirk responsibility and lament and regret.

After returning to the office, Zhang Chen sighed and couldn't help but recall the scene when he sent the script to Feiyue Films and Su Guohai bluntly said that Chen Fei didn't like the script.

At the beginning, the other party advised him and hoped that he would not regret it.

He was quite confident at the time, and said with certainty that there was absolutely no problem with the project, and insisted on filming it.

Now, I have become a joke after persisting like this...

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, Zhang Chen began to plan the next development plan.

The lesson of the failure of "Li Cha's Aunt" must be learned. We can't be so radical next time. We must consolidate the basic foundation in the rear.

Of course, the pressure on his side is not that great. There is no problem in making a profit from the box office. At most, it just damages the "Happy Twist" brand a little.

On the other hand, "Fatty Action Team" is more tragic.

After 5 days of release, the total box office was 1.45 million, which is even worse than "Li Cha's Aunt"!

"You can't even act well, so you want to be a director?"

"The fat makeup they put on is so disgusting, it makes people physically uncomfortable. They also make jokes about fatness and act stupid. The problem is that your fatness is made up! If a real fat person makes fun of himself, it's called self-mockery, but pretending to be fat and making fun of fat people, that's called a personal attack, okay?"

"Tsk tsk, no wonder the box office was terrible. The whole movie was basically funny because of stupidity and all kinds of low-brow jokes. Wen Zhang's pants were taken off at least 5 times, right? There were also several fart jokes. Wouldn't it be funny if they didn't do such disgusting things? It really made me vomit."

"..."

A large amount of abuse spread on social platforms such as Douban, Maoyan, and Weibo. Bao Beier wanted to control it, but because she was too tight on money, she had no money for marketing and could only sigh helplessly.

Compared with these two movies that are considered to be "bad movies" in this year's National Day holiday, "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou is better.

At least the ratings on major rating websites are above the passing line.

Even though word of mouth is still somewhat polarized, positive reviews still make up the majority.

After all, there is no harm without comparison.

"Haha, the handsome Italian guy sitting next to me stood up straight, his mouth opened wide, and he was stunned. It was really funny. He even clapped hard after the show ended. It was obvious that he was shocked by the scene."

"As gaudy and annoying as The Great Wall is, Shadow is as reserved and pleasing. Zhang Yimou's "rectification" work is more like The Assassin Nie Yinniang, a version of Curse of the Golden Flower, except that Shadow knows how to survive better than Yinniang. Overall, this is a power-murder plot set in a landscape of ink and wash painting, and is definitely a masterpiece of the national master's caliber."

"Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi in 2008, Zi Yu and Jing Zhou in 2018, and the story of "body double" by Zhang Yimou, Shadow, besides Akira Kurosawa's Shadow Warrior, did he get inspiration from his own personal experience?"

"Zhang Yimou used four colors (black, white, skin, blood) to tell the two main story lines of the struggle for sovereignty between the two parties and the inner struggle between the master and the shadow. I thought it was a plus version of "Hero" halfway through, but after watching it, I felt that he could use fewer colors to tell a more complex story. The master's inner strength is still very deep. I feel that this "Shadow" is more like a martial arts art film."

“I hope the next film, ‘One Second’, will be as good as ‘The Return’.”

Perhaps because the "rectification" effect was very good, Zhang Yimou worked even harder on the "One Second" crew.

Although he knew that this audition was just a formality and a show, he still wanted to do a good job.

It's all for the movie after all.

The more attention he receives, the higher the box office performance will naturally be after its release in the future, which will be of great benefit to him personally.

Just like that, the National Day Golden Week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was October 10th.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a report card from the production team of "Sito" was released today, which directly caused shock and attention in the entire film and television industry!
"As of now, the real-time popularity of "Sito" starring Jing Tian on Youku Video has reached 9673, and has been No. 1 in the popularity ranking list for many consecutive days! It is far ahead of many major dramas of the same period.

At the same time, "Sito" has ranked first for many consecutive days on professional data lists such as Guduo, Vlinkage, Yunhe, Datawin, Maoyan, and Douban.

The drama is not only popular in China, but also has a very gratifying effect in overseas broadcasting. It has landed on the Top 3 channel of Youtube, and the current cumulative viewing traffic has exceeded 1000 million. MyDramaList has a score of 8.8 points..."

As we all know, Youku popularity is obtained by calculating the multi-dimensional behavioral data of users on the Youku platform, including watching, commenting, liking, sharing, collecting, abandoning dramas and other behaviors.

The combined results of these data directly reflect the popularity of the video on the Youku platform.

The Youku popularity usually ranges from 0 to 10000, and the higher the value, the more popular the video.

Now, the data of "9673" of "Sito" has come out, which directly shows that its popularity has reached the highest tier!

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", which is also currently airing on Youku, has a popularity value of 8163.

This also means that Da Tiantian's heroine-led drama has actually been a success!
"cheers!"

At the celebration banquet for "Sito", the atmosphere was already very lively.

Jing Tian held a red wine glass in her hand, smiling sweetly, with a faint blush on her face, which made her look extremely beautiful and charming with excellent temperament!
"Brother, I toast you. Thank you very much for giving me such a good TV script and letting me take full responsibility. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have to retreat to the second line after the failure of "The Great Wall"..."

As the saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave.

Today, Jing Tian spoke a lot in front of Chen Fei, which was rare. She was not shy or afraid to look him in the face as before.

"Congratulations. I hope you can use this momentum to successfully climb higher."

Chen Fei clinked glasses with her, then sat for a while and prepared to leave.

His current status is different from before, and the atmosphere here is more or less depressing. Even if others want to have fun, they have to look at his eyes...

As a good boss, the best option would be to turn around and leave tactfully.

And that’s exactly what he did.

"Are you going home? Then I'll take you there." Jing Tian quickly got up and followed.

The two walked one after the other and soon arrived at the door of the hotel.

Fade Chen stood firm and turned to look at her: "Just send it here, you don't have to leave the hotel, there may be paparazzi outside, it will be troublesome if you are photographed."

"Oh."

Jing Tian stopped and looked at him straight.

Fade Chen smiled and said, "Did you drink too much tonight?"

"It's okay. At least I'm still clear-headed." Jing Tian touched her flushed face. She didn't know what she was thinking about. The blush even spread to her neck.

Suddenly, there was a beeping sound from outside, and Fade Chen knew that a car had arrived.

"I am leaving?"

"Yeah, you...you should be careful on the road."

"I think you are really drunk. I am not driving. I have a driver."

Fade Chen waved at her, turned around, and walked out the door on his own.

"Brother!"

Inside the revolving door, he suddenly heard a call from behind.

The moment I turned around, I saw Jing Tian with a bright smile on her face, but there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, but finally, under the influence of alcohol, she bravely shouted: "You have always been so great in my mind! I admire you so much!"

The state of a coward emboldened by alcohol was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Chen Fei smiled at her and didn't respond. He just quickened his pace and got into the car, then told the driver to go home quickly! His wife and children were waiting for him at home.

And I have to fly abroad to film tomorrow, so I have to spend more time with my wife and children tonight. After all, it will be a long time before we can see each other again.

……

After one night, the National Day holiday officially ended.

Chen Fei got up early in the morning, packed his luggage, and prepared to set off.

"Please be careful when filming, and remember to think of me and Xiao Shitou. I will memorize the script carefully, and I will go to the crew whenever you need me..."

Liu Yifei was like a chatterbox, constantly giving instructions.

Fade Chen didn't show any impatience. He nodded and leaned over to kiss her on the mouth. "You should also remember to think of me, take good care of yourself and the child, and wait for me to come back."

"OK."

After reluctantly saying goodbye, Fade Chen got in the car, opened the window, and signaled her to go back quickly as it was cold outside.

However, Liu Yifei still insisted on waiting for the car to disappear at the intersection before returning home and walking towards the fitness equipment area in the basement.

In the north, there is a custom of "confinement month" and "staying for a hundred days" after giving birth.

Actually, there is nothing mysterious about it. It basically means that it takes a pregnant woman 100 days to recover successfully and then go out to work.

This method actually doesn't work in the entertainment industry. After all, there are many ruthless women who start a new job before even a full month has passed.

For example, Yang Ying!

But Liu Yifei is not as careless about her body as she is.

She has no pressure in life anyway, and she doesn't need to work hard to show her fame or status.

As the Cannes Film Queen and Chen Fei's wife, she will definitely be a top-tier star whenever she returns to work!
Who is dissatisfied?
Want to give it a try?
Whether it's competing for popularity, works, or resources and connections, she is willing to stick with it to the end.

And now, after "a hundred days", she is preparing for a comeback.

In "Boundary Breakers" written, directed and starred by Chen Fei, although she is the leading female role, she is actually just a "human-shaped ornament" with very few scenes.

However, this is the best channel and method for her to recover after resting for more than a year.

After this movie is finished, she can officially announce her comeback!

……

At 8: in the morning, Chen Fei and Chen Long met up at the Capital International Airport.

"Where is our first stop?" Chen Long asked excitedly as soon as they met.

He can't wait to challenge his limits and question nature!

As for filming, they both thought it was just a matter of convenience.

"Let's go to Yosemite National Park in California, USA first."

"What's there?"

Fade Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "Chieftain Rock!"

"El Capitan?" Chen Long chewed on these three words and quickly came to a conclusion: "So, the first challenge is rock climbing?"

"Yes."

El Capitan has been famous for a long time and is currently one of the most iconic granite rock walls in the world.

With a vertical drop of over 3000 feet, it is known as the "Mount Everest of rock climbing" and the "most impossible boulder to climb."

In particular, the "Dawn Wall" is famous for its steepness and danger. It is known as the most difficult climbing route in the world. The entire facade is almost 90° and is extremely smooth.

It is also called: "The single-plank bridge connecting heaven and hell!"

Whether to choose to go to heaven or to go to hell, it all depends on the climber's thoughts!
Looking around the world, this devilish vertical rock wall has become the ultimate goal of all free climbers.

Many people even consider it a holy place!
Even if I lose my life and die here, I still have to challenge it!
"I checked on Google Chrome that on June 17, 6, an American rock climbing master, Alex Honnold, climbed up from the bottom of El Capitan without any assistance, in 3 hours and 3 minutes, becoming the first person in the world to quickly climb to the top of El Capitan with bare hands..."

Chen Long held the phone in his hand and enthusiastically introduced it to Chen Fei.

"That's right." Chen Fei nodded and said, "You will be able to meet him after you go there. He is a signed challenger of Red Bull and will assist us in the filming."

"Wow! Such a great man has been invited here?"

"big cow?"

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows, with the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

He didn't think the other party was some big shot. Wasn't it just 3 hours and 56 minutes?

I'll break it for you!

At the same time, just as the two were preparing to board the plane, Weibo became lively again.

"..."

There was a lot of heated discussion online, and many people's negative impression of Li Chen quickly began to change...

"Him? He even gave 3.5 million to help Fan Bingbing? Haha, netizens these days are really pathetic. They actually believe such rumors."

On the plane, Chen Long, who was browsing the news, had a look of disdain on his face, which showed his strong disdain for Li Chen.

Chen Fei also saw the news, but he and Chen Long had the same idea.

If Li Chen is really willing to come up with 3.5 million, then that would be like the sun rising from the west!
The day passed quickly, the sun set quickly, and the moon rose in its place.

Looking online again, I found that the "rumor" had indeed been debunked.

That courtyard house does not belong to Li Chen at all, but to the "New Year's Fun" program crew.

At the same time, someone revealed that Li Chen and Fan Bingbing have broken up!
Although the latter revelation has not been verified, many people already have the answer in their minds.

"It's very obvious! These two acted so loving at first, but now that Fan Bayi got into trouble, the man hasn't even come out to say a word of support. It's obvious that they want to cut ties."

"What men fear most is irresponsibility, and Li Chen happens to be such a person."

"You're still listing a 3.5 million yuan courtyard house for sale? For someone like him, if you're willing to pay even a dime for it, you're already showing respect to him."

"..."

There is constant criticism online.

Chen Fei was eating the melon curiously while waiting for Li Chen's response.

It’s a pity that this guy never said a word.

Chen Long took the initiative to reveal to him: "After Fan Bingbing got into trouble, I actually contacted her. At that time, I asked her if she needed help, but she said no, she would work hard to pay back the money, and only asked me to help her brother if I had the chance in the future.

As for Li Chen, he had already become a stranger in her mouth. I guess that guy probably ran away as soon as the incident happened..."

Chen Fei didn't respond, but just listened silently.

He did know that his elder brother and Fan Bingbing had a brief romance.

At the same time, he was still muttering in his heart: "How can a person who was taught to stab others be a good person?"
