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

Chapter 1169 I want to put a perfect end to my life!

After landing in California, Chen Fei first reported safety to his family, and then he and Chen Long took a car to the hotel where the crew of "Borderbreaker" was located.

The entire hotel has been booked out gradually, and all the people staying here are our own people.

"Fei! JackieChan, long time no see."

As soon as they entered the hotel, Natasha greeted them warmly with a hug, followed by Flory, Red Bull and the rest of the crew.

After everyone greeted each other, they began to arrange check-in and meals.

During the meal, Flory briefly talked about the crew's current preparation progress: "All camera equipment has been arranged in place, including various protection measures and the planning of the entire shooting process. It has all been completed and can be started at any time..."

"it is good."

Fade Chen nodded slightly, then turned to look at Chen Long and said, "Brother, after dinner, go and adjust to the time difference. We'll take a day off and start filming the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Sure! I'm fine."

Chen Long patted his chest, saying that he was in great physical and mental condition and could start filming at any time.

But Chen Fei was not in a hurry.

After all, Chen Long is already over 60 years old. No matter how good his spirit is, his physical condition is definitely not as good as that of young people. It is better to let him recover.

Moreover, he will have to hang on wires in the subsequent shooting sessions. If he becomes physically exhausted due to lack of rest, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the shooting progress.

After dinner, Chen Long went back to his room to rest, while Chen Fei briefly learned about the company's current business development from Natasha.

“The post-production of Green Book has been completed, and we are currently carrying out publicity and public relations. It will be released in North American theaters on the 16th of next month.

The filming of "Godzilla 2" has officially come to an end. Post-production and editing are currently underway. It is expected to be released next year, probably after "Avengers 4".

Currently in theaters are Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Ant-Man and The Dusk Girl... Marvel superhero movies are still one of the company's main revenue sources, and the rest are from major theme parks, IPs, and peripheral development..."

An hour later, after roughly understanding the situation, Chen Fei returned to his room.

Walton Pictures is now completely on the right track, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. He doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Under Natasha's leadership, the company operates very smoothly and everything is moving in a good direction.

Based on this, he doesn't need to worry about other things at the moment and can just concentrate on filming "Breakers".

"Rest first. Go to El Capitan tomorrow to observe the terrain. The day after tomorrow we'll officially start filming..."

After making plans and arrangements for the next step, Fade Chen went to sleep.

At the same time, in China, a lot of news appeared on the hot search lists of major social platforms.

First of all, the lawsuit between Douban and Bi Zhifei was finally decided today.

The Chaoyang Court heard the case publicly. Douban believes that film reviews are user behavior, and the plaintiff's "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business" cannot be considered to have infringed on reputation rights just because of low ratings or failure to meet expectations!
As expected, Douban won.

The reason is simple. In order to hear this case, the judge also watched the entire film "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Show Business" and was immediately disgusted.

It is no exaggeration to say that netizens were relatively restrained in their comments and did not get too agitated.

Otherwise, Bi Zhifei's ancestors for eighteen generations would probably suffer!
Director Bi was naturally dissatisfied with the court's decision that he lost, and immediately stated on Weibo that he would appeal and demand fairness!
Then, he was scolded by netizens:
"Bi Zhifei, please be quiet. I am so ashamed for you. Do you have any shame? Do you really not want to be in the film and television industry in this life?"

"I'm going to make it clear here today that 'Pure Mind' is a terrible movie! Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"I agree!"

"No! I object! It should be a super disgusting and terrible movie!"

"If you want to sue, then sue. You won't win anyway. Look at how many people are scolding you online. Why don't you learn some lessons?"

On this side, Bi Zhifei was being scolded, while on the other side, "Entrepreneurial Era" starring Huang Xuan and Yang Ying was also under attack.

Last night, this TV series produced by Huace, which is said to be the first domestic TV series telling the story of Chinese Internet entrepreneurship, has aired two episodes on Zhejiang Satellite TV, Dragon TV and Tencent Video.

However, although the film company organized various publicity and promotional activities before the release, the popularity of the film was very high.

But after the first day of its official release, the true nature of the show was revealed.

"Yang Ying's acting is terrible! She can only stare! Stare all the time! The whole screen is filled with her 'perfect facial features', big eyes, curved pouty lips, so that when the camera moves to other people's faces, they seem flat. Oh my god! It really ruins the show!"

"Let's not talk about how many marketing accounts are promoting this drama today. Just seeing AB's fans on Weibo bragging about AB's acting skills having made a qualitative leap and that she performed very well makes me feel sick and want to vomit. Can you stop bragging? Can you be realistic?"

"Huang Xuan! Zhou Yiwei! How desperate are you two? Why did you accept such a play? You are simply jumping into a pit!"

"The female lead has a big sausage mouth and still acts with her eyes wide open. There has been no improvement at all. It's terrible! It's a romantic movie about starting a business, but it's really a shame for industry dramas nowadays!"

"What are you talking about? How is Yang Ying's acting bad? She's obviously very good! And the way she looks in jeans is absolutely amazing! Even if I'm a woman, I'd fall in love with her!"

"Is there something wrong with your brain? That sagging butt is amazing. It makes me physically sick just looking at it."

Perhaps because she hadn't been active for a while, the fighting power of Yang Ying's fans was not raised for a while, so that this drama was directly defeated by netizens.

The Douban score of 3.7 was directly blamed on Yang Ying, and many people believed that the bad performance of the show was entirely her fault.

After all, who made her the leading female character?

At the same time, on the "Heroes of Fire" crew, Yu Dong and director Chen Qihui found Huang Xiaoming as soon as possible.

"I know you want to recommend your wife to play the leading female role. This is common sense. We should recommend the best person regardless of his relationship with us. But the investment in this movie is really too huge. We can't take the risk..."

Yu Dong was responsible for counseling Huang Xiaoming, while Chen Qihui found Yang Ying's audition video and compared it with the audition video of Tan Zhuo, their favorite actress for the leading female role.

After watching the two audition videos, the winner is obvious!
As a well-known "high EQ" person in the entertainment industry, Huang Xiaoming naturally would not make things difficult for Yu Dong, and immediately expressed his willingness to follow all arrangements made by the crew.

As for Yang Ying, he naturally had reasonable reasons to explain.

The failure of "Entrepreneurial Era" helped him find a good reason.

In a word, the crew was worried that the failure of the TV series would affect the box office performance of the movie, so they directly scolded Yang Ying and made her lose her temper.

Although she was reluctant to accept it in her heart, the facts were right in front of her and she had no reason to refute it.

"Then will I be able to get new film and television projects next?"

Looking at his wife's big watery eyes, Huang Xiaoming, who is in love, felt very distressed.

But no matter how heartbroken he was, he was powerless to change the situation.

Yang Ying has failed in too many film and television dramas, and now no crew dares to use her, not even with the face of Huang Xiaoming.

"I'll help you find a few variety shows first, so you can relax. If there are suitable film and television projects in the future, I will notify you as soon as possible and arrange for you to join the crew."

"All right……"

Yang Ying was very reluctant, but had no choice.

She can't blame anyone for how her acting career has developed to this point, she can only blame herself for not living up to her expectations.

"Remember to help me find a project! I think Sito is pretty good. If there are similar projects in the future, you must find a way to help me get them."

"Yeah, I will."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in agreement, but he felt sad in his heart.

My wife has such a big appetite. The first thing she asked for was a project like "Sito".

Isn't this a joke?

How could she get such a good project? Why didn't she just go to Jing Tian? ...

October 10, Saturday, weather: sunny.

In Yosemite National Park, California, the United States, at the foot of the 916-meter-high El Capitan, many crew members from the "Breakers" crew, as well as Red Bull staff, and many media and reporters who came from Los Angeles and the country gathered.

On the makeshift stage, when Fade Chen publicly recounted the plot and filming content of "Boundary Breaker" for the first time, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience!
The media reporters in Los Angeles were barely able to remain relatively calm. After all, they lived in a "chaotic" society and saw enough "suicidal incidents" every day.

Moreover, there was Chen Long standing next to Chen Fei. In the eyes of many foreign reporters, the two of them were the kind of people who were "very brave and not afraid of death."

But the domestic reporters all widened their eyes after hearing this, their faces full of disbelief!
"Complete the eight ultimate challenges? Make a movie about these actions? Are you making an autobiography for yourself? Or are you courting death?"

"I was wondering why the opening scene was held in this place. It turns out that we have to climb rocks on the first day of filming!"

"Free solo rock climbing? Climbing up a nearly vertical rock wall with just your hands without any protective gear, and then reaching the top? Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"I'm determined to follow this crew. This filming technique is quite unique."

"I just observed it through a high-power telescope. The stone wall is as smooth as a mirror. There is not even a gecko. How can people climb up there?"

There was constant discussion at the scene and questions came one after another.

However, Chen Fei did not continue to pay attention to this group of people. After announcing with Chen Long that "Boundary Breaker" had officially started filming, the two of them came to the foot of El Capitan surrounded by the crew members.

The content of the first shooting was very simple, just climbing up from the bottom.

Of course, Chen Long definitely doesn't need to climb up without any protection like Chen Fei, as he will have wire ropes on his body to assist him.

At the same time, for his safety and the best shooting effects, American rock climbing master Alex Honnold also came to the scene today to teach him various climbing techniques.

"Brother, you get ready first. I'll go up first. After I successfully climb up, I'll come down and take the photo."

"Okay." Chen Long nodded heavily, and said seriously, "Be sure to pay attention to safety. Don't let anything happen to you."

"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem on my side."

After saying that, Fade Chen gestured towards the Red Bull team.

The next second, the drone took off and began to take aerial photos from top to bottom.

At the same time, the broadcast signal was connected.

From now on, all of Chen Fei's actions will be transmitted to fans around the world through cameras.

"What the hell? It's actually airing! So the filming of "Boundary Breaker" is about to begin?"

"Oh my god! It's been two years! Fei finally appeared in the Red Bull camera again, this is so exciting!"

"Hula! Hula! Hula!"

"I like this barrage system. Hello, foreign friends. My name is Zhang Wei, and I am from Cao County, Heze, Shandong..."

"Wow! What a beautiful picture. I like it."

The comments in the live broadcast room were scrolling like crazy. Many people's attention was not on Chen Fei at first glance, but on El Capitan.

At this moment, the dazzling rays of light rising from the east just happened to fall on this magical rock wall that had made countless people "bow down" to it.

The beauty of the scenery is simply incomparable!
The spectacular scene is in no way inferior to the golden mountain view at sunset on Mount Everest!

The next second, the camera in the live broadcast room began to move downward and landed on Chen Fei.

As he walked towards the foot of the mountain, he waved to the camera and introduced his current status:
“At the request of all fans, during the filming of the movie “Breakers”, I will hold a few live broadcasts to let everyone see the wonders and magnificence of nature.

I am currently in Yosemite National Park in California, and the world-famous El Capitan is right in front of me. It is the world's largest independent monolith of violent granite, probably formed during the Great Ice Age.

The shape of this huge rock is very peculiar, and the surface of the rock wall is so smooth that even birds and insects cannot live on it. It is self-contained and can be said to be a perfect product of nature's magic..."

The colleague he introduced here has already approached El Capitan with a drone, faithfully recording every detail on the huge rock.

At the same time, the audience in front of the screen could clearly see the overall structure of the boulder.

It can be clearly seen that the surface of this huge rock is indeed very smooth. Apart from some inconspicuous protrusions and slightly sunken grooves, there are no other support points for climbing.

"So, we have to climb rocks right after we get here, right? How do we climb? Are we just going to climb hard like that?"

"Oh my god, my hands are shaking just looking at me. Can I climb up like this?"

"Come on! I believe you can do it!"

"If this movie can be made, I will definitely go to see it. For no other reason than for the fearless spirit!"

"Well, there is no protection at all. I am really impressed. I am totally impressed!"

While everyone in the live broadcast room was posting comments, Fade Chen had already arrived under the rock wall.

Many people noticed at this time that his hands were covered with magnesium powder.

"The challenge officially begins!"

While whispering softly, Fade Chen had already stretched out his right foot and stepped on a fairly clear depression on the rock wall.

Then he stretched out his left hand and grabbed a bulge on the top of his head with his index and middle fingers.

Then it's time to show your strength!

With a gentle pull of one arm, his whole body immediately went upwards.

The free right hand on the other side has no place to hold on, so it can only stick to the rock wall, exerting friction on the body while controlling direction and balance.

Before everyone could react, Fade Chen had already clung to the rock wall like a giant gecko.

"If this falls down, won't it turn into a pancake?"

Chen Long, who was watching Chen Fei's climbing trajectory not far away, murmured, unable to hide his inner shock!

"Yes." Alex Honnold, who was responsible for training him on the essentials of the movements, nodded seriously and said, "Unprotected rock climbing requires extremely high physical fitness and judgment. If you take a wrong step, you are likely to fall down, and the consequence of falling down is bound to see God.

Therefore, many challengers will take protective measures on themselves before taking action to prevent possible crises..."

Chen Long did not ask the stupid question like why Chen Fei didn't bring a safety rope. He just listened to Alex Honnold's speech while looking at the figure on the rock wall with admiration.

Many people are bound by various rules and regulations and have to live according to the requirements and regulations of others.

But there are always some people in the world who choose to break the rules and find new ways out!

He thought that he was such a person when he was young and Chen Fei was such a person now.

In fact, neither of them bought insurance during the filming of "Breakers".

It’s not that they are reluctant to spend the money, but that no insurance company is willing to insure them.

Especially after listening to Chen Fei's filming plan, several representatives from insurance companies were scared away on the spot.

The insurance company does not understand their suicidal behavior.

After all, in the public's impression, rich people should be very afraid of death, so how could they possibly set out in the direction of "Death"?
But Chen Fei still did it.

Because he felt that he was born to break the rules, he would naturally do things that the majority of people dare not do!

Choosing to shoot "Borderbreaker" was a great gift to himself for his unrestrained, free and detached life!
He will eventually grow old in the future, so why not take advantage of this last chance to put a perfect end to the first half of his life?
