Saturday is a good day for the film and television industry.

Not only do movie box office and TV drama ratings soar on this day, but because more people are resting at home, all kinds of press releases, materials, promotional marketing, etc. can gain considerable popularity and attention.

Looking at today's hot searches, many people subconsciously focused their attention on Feng Xiaogang.

As we all know, with the end of Huayi, Fan Bingbing and others, the movie "Cell Phone 2" has absolutely no chance of being released.

At first, everyone was wondering whether Feng Xiaogang would keep a low profile for a while because of this incident.

But what no one expected was that he would appear again just as the storm had passed!

Netizen: Are you so stubborn?
Feng Xiaogang: I have no money! I am so poor! If I don’t make movies, I will have to sell my property to pay off my debts!

Because his two grandsons, Wang Shuo and Liu Zhenyun, refused to help him write scripts, he had no choice but to find new partners.

It just so happened that Zhang Ling, the screenwriter of "Aftershock", had not produced any good works in recent years, so he was a bit short of money.

The two brothers hit it off immediately and decided to start a project.

It was impossible to make a commercial film with a large investment because Dongyang Mela Company didn't have much money in its account, so they could only start with a low-cost project.

Therefore, love themes became the best choice.

Because of his previous experience in filming "Youth", Feng Xiaogang felt that he would have no problem handling this type of subject matter.

In addition, a story that shocked him happened to his good friend Zhang Shu.

So, the three of them teamed up and built the framework of the script first.

In order to reassure his creditors, he couldn't wait to reveal the news of the new film project, just to let the creditors know that he was really determined to pay back the money!
The effect is quite significant.

He used to receive at least seven or eight calls a day, but after the news of the new film project was announced, the number of people asking for debts dropped sharply, and the number of people asking him if he still needed money increased.

This sudden change really made him feel the fickleness of the world!
When a person is no longer useful, he becomes a worthless person who can be bullied by anyone!

Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang is still useful.

"We can only succeed in this project, not fail!"

In the conference room of Dongyang Mela Pictures, Feng Xiaogang waved his right hand and shouted slogans to the "three melons and two dates" below.

There used to be a lot of people in the company, but after the Huayi incident, most of them ran away.

What's left now are just a group of people who like to slack off on weekdays and some veterans who are willing to follow him.

"Everyone, please believe me. Although our company has suffered a major blow, as long as we don't get discouraged and don't give up, we will succeed one day!"

"success!"

"success!"

"success!"

The people in the conference room shouted slogans loudly, but what they were thinking in their hearts, probably only they themselves knew.

At the same time, at the press conference for the wrap-up of The Legend of Hao Lan, Zhang Ziyi also made bold statements:

"As my first costume drama starring a female lead, The Legend of Hao Lan will not be compared with any other costume dramas. We will only compare with ourselves, and only hope to surpass ourselves and become a benchmark in Chinese costume dramas!"

When these words were spoken, many media reporters at the scene could not help but feel a little surprised.

It won’t be compared with any costume drama?
Want to be a benchmark among Chinese costume TV dramas?
Aren’t these two sentences somewhat contradictory?

But it is this "contradiction" that makes Zhang Ziyi's fans excited!

"Our sister Ziyi's meaning is very clear, why don't you understand?"

"Yes, yes, she is saying that the current costume dramas in the Chinese TV drama circle cannot be compared with "Shangyang Fu", it's that simple."

"Fuck! That sounds so domineering! So cool! Don't even bother with Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Zhen Huan's Legend, or Wu Mei Niang. The best drama is The Legend of the Ancient Sword!"

The fans’ extreme arrogance triggered a new round of verbal battles.

But also because of this, the name "Shangyang Fu" has successfully entered the vision of more people, with traffic skyrocketing and popularity soaring!

……

After a night, it was October 12nd.

"Aquaman"'s box office of 2.77 million on the second day immediately became a hot topic, attracting the attention of a large number of movie fans and netizens.

This result is undoubtedly very good, but the comments and reviews of domestic netizens on this movie really made the senior executives of DC and Warner feel a little depressed and embarrassed.

"There are so many scenes in the underwater world that are beyond imagination! This is what a movie about ocean heroes should be like! What the hell have you been doing before, DC? Why didn't you invite James Wan to direct it sooner?"

"The Sahara Desert, Sicily, the chase scene of the Trench Tribe, the ocean hidden in the center of the earth... the wonders of the world's oceans, from the sky to the ground, are so beautiful! Wow! And the 3D effect is so cool! Although James Wan's DC is not dark, the plot is ups and downs and complete. This movie is 18 blocks away from that "Justice League"!"

"The core of the film actually returns to the exploration of family and affirmation of self. Is this still the style of DC? Oh! No! This is a movie directed by James Wan, and his experience in shooting blockbusters was directed by Director Chen Fei."

"It's obvious that this movie has a lot of Director Chen's directing style. He particularly likes to show off his skills, and this Aquaman is no exception. It can be called 'an underwater Avatar, an underwater Pandora'!"

"Can DC please make movies in this style in the future? It has all the elements of action, adventure, fantasy, and superheroes, and the main storyline is extremely complete. This is the standard that can rival Marvel."

One after another, film reviews appeared on platforms such as Maoyan, Tao Piaopiao, and Douban, and then were translated into English and appeared in front of Jeff Jones.

Compared to Hamada, he is a man of action.

So, he went to Warner as soon as possible and expressed his bold idea in front of all the senior executives.

"Invite Fei to be DC's chief content officer?"

After understanding what he meant, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief!
What is this operation?
It's fine if they're just poaching from Marvel, but are they poaching from their "foundation"?
"Jeff, this is impossible. It's absolutely impossible. Fei will definitely not leave Marvel. He is a shareholder of Walton Pictures. How could he abandon his family business to help us?"

Warner's female CEO Ann Sarnoff shook her head slightly, saying that this was simply wishful thinking.

"We haven't even tried it, so how do we know we can't do it?" Action and words are two different styles of completion, and Jeff really wants to give it a try.

In view of the good performance of "Aquaman" in the mainland theater market, the senior executives did not undermine his self-confidence.

"Then you can give it a try boldly." Although An Sarnoff felt that this was difficult, he still spoke out to support his younger brothers.

"Okay, I'll try."

Jeff Jones has made up his mind. When he returns, he will contact James Wan and ask him to act as a go-between.

No matter whether you can succeed or not, just give it a try first. It is always better than doing nothing.

The meeting ended quickly, and Jeff Jones took a car back to DC. After entering the office, he took out his mobile phone and found James Wan's contact information.

He organized his words first, then pressed the dial button.

After a while, the call was connected.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries and chatted for a while, and then Jeff Jones expressed his idea of ​​asking James Wan to be the middleman and invite Chen Fei to meet and discuss things. Although James Wan didn't understand why he wanted to meet Chen Fei so much, he still said that he would find a free time to ask for him.

"Oh, by the way, you may not see him in the near future."

Jeff Jones was puzzled: "Why? Isn't he in Zhongli? I'd like to fly to Zhongli to meet him in person."

"No, no, no, he is not in Zhongli now, but in the Baha Peninsula."

"Baja Peninsula? What is that place?"

James Wan didn't know how to explain it to him, so he just said, "You can watch the live broadcast of the Extreme Challenge currently being held on the Red Bull official website, and then you will know where the Baja Peninsula is."

Red Bull?

live streaming!

Jeff Jones reacted instantly: "Oh my God! I almost forgot that Fei was going to challenge a new extreme sports project today, and I missed it because I was too busy!"

James Wan comforted him by saying, "The live broadcast just started a while ago. It's not too late for you to watch it now."

"Okay, thank you, Wen, we'll be in touch later."

After hanging up the phone, Jeff Jones couldn't wait to turn on his computer and log into the Red Bull official website.

Because there were too many people online in the live broadcast room, he waited anxiously for a long time before he entered the live broadcast room.

However, the next second after seeing the picture, he was stunned!
"Oh! Damn it! Is he completing an extreme challenge? Or is he looking for death?!"

In the picture, the Sea of ​​Cortez, which is experiencing extremely severe weather, is being ravaged by complex ocean currents and strong tides.

Looking around, huge waves on the sea were rolling like roaring beasts, which was extremely terrifying!
However, at this moment, in front of the terrifying waves, Chen Fei was standing on a surfboard, like a fearless warrior charging forward, rushing towards the huge waves!
At this moment, not only Jeff Jones was stunned, but countless netizens in front of the screen were also stunned!
"No, buddy? I asked you to free me, not to kill yourself! Can we run away quickly? If the waves come down, you will be killed."

"Awesome! You're the first person I've seen who dares to surf in this kind of water!"

"Fade Chen! You are my God!"

Ou Hao: "What are you doing on the third floor???"

"If I rush into this thing, can I still survive? Is this a real challenge or a real-time 3D special effect? ​​Don't be ridiculous!"

"Haha, Director Chen is a real man. He never plays tricks."

Because of the huge waves sweeping in, the barrage has completely exploded!
However, at this time, Chen Fei's mood also became excited because of the arrival of the huge waves!

The oncoming wave is at least five meters high. It is definitely a rare super forehand wave, which is most suitable for surfing.

So, under the shocked gazes of everyone, he was lifted high up by the wave while riding his surfboard, and was carried to the crest of the wave, as if it was going to sweep him up and crush him to pieces.

Ordinary people would probably be scared to death at this time.

But Chen Fei is different!

He actually went straight along the highest point of the wave tongue and rushed into the center of the wave without hesitation!
At this moment, the surfboard under his feet seemed to have turned into a sharp knife, piercing the water surface and leaving a dazzling white mark on the terrifying, dark wave!

The waves under his feet suddenly became obedient and kept lifting him up to higher areas!
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into the "King of the Sea", riding and controlling the forehand wave, playing with it wantonly above his head.

"Fuck! This is the real-life version of Aquaman!"

"So, the prototype of DC's Aquaman was actually designed based on Director Chen Fei's design?"

"Should we ask Director Chen to be the spokesperson?"

"No wonder there are so many wonderful surfing scenes in Aquaman. I've discovered that this is what Chen Fei taught director James Wan!"

Jeff Jones: “???”

~

On the undulating sea surface, huge waves that are big enough to swallow everything are rubbing its fangs.

Through the small camera in the live broadcast room, one can see that under the huge wave tongue, Chen Fei's figure appears extremely small, like a drop in the ocean.

However, his small body seemed to contain great courage and strength!

In particular, the long white trail left behind him was particularly conspicuous on the deep blue sea, as if it was the unique mark of his struggle against the surging waves.

In fact, among all wave types, the forehand wave is an extremely special one.

It is a very refreshing forward orientation and is extremely friendly to the surfer's stance.

Compared with the backhand wave, the advantage of the forehand wave is so many times more obvious.

After a forehand wave whizzes past, surfers have more room and possibilities to play, whether turning at the bottom of the wave or at the top of the wave, as if it is a unique gift from nature to the brave.

For Chen Fei at the moment, this wave could not pose any obstacle or danger to him at all. He just came here to have fun.

Perhaps to the fans, his current behavior is extremely dangerous.

But only he himself knows how at ease he is now!

For those surfing athletes and more professional surfing enthusiasts, Chen Fei's ease and the style of a professional surfer were simply so cool!
What's the danger?
Where is the danger?
Isn't he just playing?

However, the ocean changes rapidly, and the next second there is a thrilling scene of “one wave after another”!

Just when Chen Fei was about to reach the end of this forehand wave, another wave tongue closely followed the tail of the wave and attacked him again with an unquestionable momentum.

The wavy tongue seemed like a hungry beast, opening its mouth wide, wanting to cruelly swallow him into its stomach!

Upon seeing this, Fade Chen's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's.

His superb surfing experience enabled him to react quickly in this critical moment!
He hurriedly moved his center of gravity forward, then spread his arms, turning his body flexibly like an eagle spreading its wings, and quickly guided his vision in the direction pointed by his front hand.

Every movement was precise and swift, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

In just a moment, he completed a perfect turn at the top of the wave!

Looking around, the whole movement is smooth and graceful, like dancing on the waves, showing a graceful and magnificent dance posture.

Afterwards, he rushed towards another wave and started a thrilling backhand wave slide.

All he heard was a sudden "swish" sound, which was the sound of the surfboard rubbing against the waves, like a passionate piece of music played by nature for his wonderful performance!
At the same time, there was also a white mark left behind the surfboard, just like an extremely sharp dagger, with a fierce momentum, fiercely tearing through the cover of the waves.

The white mark was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the black storm sea, as if it was a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly lighting up the deep sea!

For a moment, the roar of the surging waves shook the sky, as if it was an inspiring war song played by nature.

The overlapping waves collided with each other, stirring up water mist all over the sky, directly including Chen Fei and outlining his handsome figure!

Because the angle of the backhand wave is so large, this special shape makes the surfboard seem to be pushed by an invisible force behind it when it slides on it.

Therefore, Chen Fei easily increased the surfing speed to nearly 100 hours!
At this moment, the whistling wind in his ears was like the roar of a wild beast, blowing wildly on his face and ruffling his hair.

The sounds of wind and waves interweave to form one wild and shocking symphony after another.
On the surfboard, Chen Fei's eyes were fixed firmly on the front, his gaze was firm and focused, and he was engaged in a thrilling contest with the waves that kept sweeping over him!
At this moment, viewers, and fans from all over the world in the live broadcast room were completely blown away!

However, the formation of the barrage was not chaotic.

Looking around, all I could see were three densely packed words floating from the top!
"True Sea King!"
