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

Chapter 1224 Three Golden Horse Awards?

"This morning, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television announced the latest list of film and television scripts that have passed review. White Snake 2: The Green Snake, submitted by Feiyue Films, passed the review successfully."

"Some media photographed Director Teng Huatao being rushed to the hospital by ambulance after he was injured..."

"The production company of The Wandering Earth released the first notice of key extension. The release date of the film will be extended to 9:26 on September 24."

"The Hollywood blockbuster "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw" was officially released in domestic theaters in the early hours of last night. On the first day of its release, the theater's comprehensive screening schedule reached 52.2%!"

“Feiyue Films, Golden Harvest Films, and Yinghuang Films jointly announced that they will jointly participate in the crime/action film “The Breaking of the Law”.

The film has been approved and is expected to meet domestic fans next year, so stay tuned! "

~

In a blink of an eye, it is already August 8rd.

The summer vacation is gradually approaching the second half, and the enthusiasm is gradually dissipating.

Coupled with the arrival of imported Hollywood blockbusters, many domestic films suddenly felt the pressure again!
For example, the suspense film "Keep Silent" starring Zhou Xun, Wu Zhenyu and Zu Feng hardly generated any popularity.

"It's really difficult to make domestic films. Only a few can make money every year. Most of them are like ours, which can't even get a screening..."

In the living room area of ​​the house, Zhou Xun was holding Little Stone in his arms, chattering to Liu Yifei.

Chen Fei sat aside, sending and receiving messages.

Ever since I talked with Wang Changtian and Zhang Yimou about the project "Rock Solid" a few days ago, all three of us have started working.

Wang Changtian quickly contacted Ren Zhonglun and Wang Yong, and easily got support from Shanghai Film Studio and Xi'an Film Studio.

Chen Fei's progress was also going smoothly.

After reading the script, the director of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's Film and Television Center decided to invest in this project after only one seminar.

As for Zhang Yimou, auditions are also in progress.

If nothing goes wrong, all the preliminary preparations will be completed before the end of the month.

Chen Fei is now troubled by only one thing.

He really didn't want to see Zhou Dongyu continue to appear in this movie!
When I saw her in my previous life, I always had a strong sense of incongruity, as if she was totally incompatible with a movie of this type.

It is precisely because of this that he specifically told Zhang Yimou that it would be better to choose veteran actors and not to touch popular actors.

Because a film of good enough quality can definitely attract audiences even if it does not have any popular actors.

On the contrary, it is very likely that the addition of traffic actors will cause many people to feel disgusted.

Besides, the script doesn't stipulate that the female police officer must be very young.

According to the setting, as a police officer in the technical department, Li Huilin must have sufficient professional ability.

In the normal people’s impression, a policeman with strong professional ability must not be young!
What is this yellow-haired girl in her 20s? Can her professional and technical abilities be competent for investigating major cases?
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Fei disapproved of Zhou Dongyu's character.

It would be fine if he didn't participate, but if Feiyue Film and Television wanted to participate in this project, it must ensure the quality of the film.

"We have to use actors who are a little older and have good acting skills! At worst, we can just change the character settings in the film!"

Because he was a little too excited, Chen Fei subconsciously raised his hand and slapped the armrest of the sofa.

A "bang" sound echoed in the living room, immediately attracting the attention of Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun.

The little stone, who was originally staring at Zhou Xun curiously, now looked over with his big eyes blinking, stretched out his two little hands, and babbled something.

"Come, let me hold you for a while."

Chen Fei stood up, walked to Zhou Xun, and took the baby from her.

"What happened to you just now? Why are you so startled?" Zhou Xun frowned and rolled his eyes at him.

She was having a great chat with Liu Yifei when she was suddenly interrupted. She lost all interest in complaining.

"nothing……"

Chen Fei shook his head subconsciously, but his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Zhou Xun!
"Do you have any acting appointments recently?"

"Not yet."

Zhou Xun shook his head slightly. The filming of "The Imperfect Her" could not start in the short term.

Hearing this, Fade Chen's expression suddenly brightened, and he quickly said, "Since you don't have any acting offers, then I recommend you to audition for a movie crew, how about that?"

Movie crew?

Zhou Xun immediately became interested. "What film crew? Is it a Feiyue Film and Television project? Is it the "The Breaking Storm"? "

"The Breaking Storm" has been quite popular these days. After all, it is a project of Feiyue Films, and everyone's expectations have been raised since the moment the film was launched.

The slogan "Feiyue Films only produces high-quality products" is not just shouted out casually.

The box office revenue of "The Wandering Earth" is over 60 billion yuan. Who dares to underestimate it?

"It's not 'The Breaking Storm'." Chen Fei shook his head slightly. "It's a new project, directed by Zhang Yimou, and it's called 'Solid as a Rock'."

Zhang Yimou?!

Zhou Xun's eyes became brighter.

After all these years since her debut, she has never worked with Zhang Yimou.

If there is a suitable opportunity, she would naturally like to give it a try.

But...

"Didn't Zhang Yimou sign a contract with Huanxi Media? Do you still have business dealings with Huanxi Media? And almost all of their company's projects are prepared for their own family members. Can I do it?"

“This project is not a collaboration with Huanxi.”

As Fade Chen spoke, he briefly explained to her the details of the "Rock Solid" project.

At first, Zhou Xun was sitting on the sofa listening.

But soon she stood up and stared at Chen Fei in disbelief, with anticipation in her eyes already burning!
Anti-corruption? Anti-gangsterism? Eradication of evil? Crime?
Guangguang, Feiyue Films, Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, the Supreme People's Procuratorate...

This subject matter!
What a lineup of investors!

If this movie can be made and released successfully, wouldn't it take off immediately? !

"How do I audition? When will it be? Can I do it?"

Zhou Xun said "Take a step forward" and in the end he almost touched Chen Fei's face! He was so excited!
"Calm down first." Chen Fei was a little amused. "I'll call Zhang Yimou later and tell him. Just go there when you have time."

"Where's the script? You have to give me some time to prepare, right? What if I get rejected if I just go there?"

"After I say hello, go connect with the crew. There will be a script for the audition."

"it is good."

Zhou Xun grabbed Little Stone and sat back on the sofa, kissing his little face several times, "Hey, Little Stone, you are really my lucky star."

"Sister Xun, can you calm down? It's just a movie role, do you have to be so exaggerated?" Liu Yifei complained to her helplessly.

"Hey! You are just a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man." Zhou Xun rolled his eyes and complained: "You have won the Best Actress Award at both Cannes and Venice.

If you want to act in a TV series, ask your husband to write it for you. If you want to make a movie, you can also ask your husband to write it for you. How can I compare with you?
You don’t know how difficult it is to find a suitable film and television project nowadays…”

Zhou Xun started the "complaining" program again, just like those middle-aged women in menopause, "chatting" non-stop.

Fade Chen quietly stood up, left the living room, and returned to the study.

After closing the door, he first called Zhang Yimou to tell him about recommending Zhou Xun for the audition.

After listening to this, Lao Mouzi was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he responded enthusiastically: "Okay! I will let the casting director communicate with her team.

Come to think of it, I haven’t worked with her yet, so I don’t know if we’re compatible, haha, I’ll give it a try when the time comes…”

"Okay, I'll tell her." Chen Fei responded with a smile.

After communicating with Zhang Yimou, he sat down at the computer desk and opened Word.

I had promised Wen Muye that after he finished filming "Go Where the Wind Is", I would prepare a suitable film project for him.

Now that I finally have some free time, it's time to fulfill my promise.

Move the mouse and click New Document...

With both hands on the keyboard, with a "crackling" sound, four words appeared on the document title interface.

——"Big Events in Life"!
…After a night, it was August 8th.

In the whole morning, various hot searches gushed out like a blowout, attracting the attention of many people in the circle and netizens.

"On its first day of release, the Hollywood blockbuster "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw" grossed 2.49 million yuan."

"The disaster/action film "The Bravest", jointly produced by Bona, Asia Pacific Films, and Alibaba, directed by Chen Qihui, and starring Huang Xiaoming, Du Jiang, Tan Zhuo, Yang Zi, etc., has officially exceeded 15 billion in cumulative box office!"

"The production company of The Bravest has issued a notice on the extension of the key, which will extend the screening period of all versions of the film to September 9. At the same time, the ticket price will be adjusted to 15 yuan per person from September 9..."

"The crime/action film "Desperate" starring Dapeng, Ou Hao and Li Meng held its premiere in Beijing today."

"Happy Twist, Huanxi Media, Yaolai Films, and Aimei Films jointly announced today: The comedy film "Warm Hugs", directed and acted by Chang Yuan, has been officially approved! Casting work will officially begin from now on..."

"Enlight Media, Feiyue Film and Television, Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center jointly issued a notice:

Directed by Zhang Yimou, produced by Chen Fei, Wang Changtian, Ren Zhonglun and others, and written by Chen Yu, the crime/anti-gang film project "Solid as a Rock" has officially started auditions today! "

Blasted!

The entire film and television industry exploded!
What is "The Bravest"? What is "Desperate"? What is "Warm Hug"?
Compared with "Rock Solid" directed by Zhang Yimou and produced by Chen Fei, these are just childish games and are not worth mentioning at all!
Two of the country's top directors have joined forces to produce a crime/anti-gang-themed film, with several private and state-owned enterprises investing jointly.

Good guy!
This is obviously going to cause a big stir!
"What the hell? Zhang Yimou and Chen Fei are working together? What kind of operation is this? The last time they worked together was more than ten years ago, right?"

"Let alone the collaboration between the two of them, this is probably the first time that Zhang Yimou has made a crime/anti-gang movie, right?"

"Oh my god! This investment team is really strong!"

"Why did they drag the Supreme People's Procuratorate into this? What does it mean? Are there going to be another 'large-scale' scene?"

"Let's do it! I haven't seen a high-quality drama in a long time. Let's wait and see, haha."

There has been constant heated discussions online, and actors from all walks of life have been sending in their resumes, fearing that they will miss out on this top project!
At this time, at Guangguang Media, Wang Changtian was receiving an uninvited guest.

Dong Ping's fingers tapped out a silent beat on the Huanghuali conference table, and the crystal chandelier above his head cast tiny spots of light on the shoulders of his dark gray suit.

The fragrance of Mingqian Longjing tea floated in the reception room, but it could not dispel the tense smell of gunpowder.

"Boss, it's not that I don't give you this face." Wang Changtian turned the jade ring, and the black wolfberry in the thermos cup spun with the movement, "The script of "Rock Solid" was originally just an ordinary crime film.

But now that the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center has joined, Director Zhang's filming this time is no longer just a commercial film, but a serious drama with a political mission."

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunset reflected by the glass curtain wall of China World Trade Center Phase III is burning fiercely.

Dong Ping glanced at the investment agreement on the table and suddenly laughed. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes hid the ruthlessness he had when he was selling coal in Shanxi Province twenty years ago.

"Boss Wang, what you said seems to be a bit disrespectful to Huanxi Media. What's wrong with a serious drama? It's not like we haven't participated in it before."

In fact, at the beginning, Dong Ping did not take the "Rock Solid" project seriously and did not pay too much attention to it.

Even if Wang Changtian invited Zhang Yimou to be the director, in his opinion, it was just because Zhang Yimou was bored and wanted to earn some pocket money and experience a new subject, so he agreed.

But things are different now. Seeing that the business of "Rock Solid" is getting bigger and bigger, he can no longer sit still.

Even if there is no opportunity to invest in such a project, we have to find opportunities, not to mention that Zhang Yimou is now the middleman.

Dong Ping naturally wanted to fight for it.

However, Wang Changtian shrugged helplessly, "Things are different now. The new regulations of the Film Bureau require that major themes must be controlled by state-owned capital, and Xi'an Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio and the Supreme People's Procuratorate hold exactly 50%, while Guangguang and Feiyue Film and Television hold the other 50%."

He deliberately emphasized the word "state-owned". "If President Dong can persuade those state-owned enterprises to give up a few points, then there will be no problem on my side."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Ping's mouth twitched.

How could Dong Ping have the qualifications to snatch food from state-owned enterprises?

The purpose of his coming today was to share the 50% with Guangguang or Feiyue Films.

"Director Wang, why don't you listen to my conditions first?" He opened his briefcase and pulled out a document from it. "This is the ticket subsidy agreement for Tao Piao Piao. I came here with a guaranteed price."

"Oh?"

Wang Changtian raised his eyebrows, took the document with some curiosity and began to look at it.

Dong Ping was quite generous. The number "10 billion" on the document was very conspicuous under the light.

If the project was initially decided before, then Wang Changtian might still be interested and strive for this ticket subsidy plan.

But now, he doesn't care about this at all.

As I said: times have changed!
There was a sudden silence in the reception room.

A few minutes later, Wang Changtian handed the documents in his hand back to Dong Ping, shook his head slightly and said, "Boss Dong, please go back."

After hearing this, Dong Ping knew that Huanxi Media could not participate in this project.

Since Guangguang is not willing to give in and there is no hope for the state-owned enterprises, the only thing left is to ask for a share from Feiyue Films.

But will Chen Fei agree to give his share to Huanxi Media?

Dong Ping knew without even thinking about it that this was absolutely impossible!

Feiyue Films doesn't need to give face to Huanxi Media. Even if he comes in person, he may not even be able to see Chen Fei.

"Buzzing—"

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly vibrated in my trouser pocket.

Dong Ping took it out and saw that it was a message from Zeng Zhiwei's son Zeng Xixiang: "Zhou Dongyu's agent has confirmed that her schedule in the second half of the year..."

After reading it, he turned off the screen of his mobile phone, looked up at Wang Changtian, and said with a smile: "Since the cooperation cannot be achieved, I will not force it."

After that, he collected the documents leisurely and pretended to be casual, "But I heard that the leading actress hasn't been decided yet? Our company's Zhou Dongyu just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress a few years ago, and her image is quite suitable for a policewoman..."

Wang Changtian smiled and immediately understood what Dong Ping meant.

Recommend actors?

"Haha, how can it be your turn?" He secretly complained in his heart, but he interrupted aloud: "Sure, let her try. If she is suitable, then it would be the best."

"it is good."

Dong Ping put away the documents and left Guangguang Media directly.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the result of today's negotiation, he had prepared himself for rejection before coming here, so his mentality was not greatly affected.

However, the fact that he gained nothing still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"No, I have to find a way to get involved..."

He muttered to himself, thought for a moment, took out his cell phone and called Zhang Yimou.

"Hello? Mr. Dong?"

"Ah! Haha, are you busy now?"

Dong Ping greeted Zhang Yimou with a smile, and asked about the casting of "As Solid as a Rock", and finally mentioned Zhou Dongyu.

However, Zhang Yimou's words made him look slightly stunned.

"Boss Dong, if you recommended her, I could give her a chance to audition, but I don't think the hope is great.

Because Director Chen said that he hopes to see a cast of all talented and veteran actors in this movie, and he recommended Zhou Xun to audition for the leading female role.

Although Zhou Dongyu's acting skills have improved in recent years, compared with Zhou Xun, I'm afraid it's still a little bit lacking..."

Zhou Xun?

Three Golden Horse Awards?

Dong Ping suddenly fell silent.

Compared with this person, Zhou Dongyu is indeed a rookie.

Zhou Xun won three Golden Horse Awards a long time ago, but what about Zhou Dongyu?

Apart from winning a Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in 2016, what else does she have?

Unless she also achieves the achievement of "Three Golden Awards Best Actress", perhaps she can compete with Zhou Xun, otherwise she doesn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of others.

Hey?
wrong!

Three Golden Horse Awards?!
Zhou Dongyu?
China’s first post-90s actress to win three Golden Globes awards?
Dong Ping stroked his chin and suddenly fell into deep thought...
