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

Chapter 1229: Coming on behalf of the association?

"Director Chen should have known about the request made by the higher-ups at the meeting yesterday, right?"

In the reception room, Jiao Hongfen's voice of "asking questions even though he already knows the answer" echoed in the empty environment.

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and said, "Director Ren and his team have already been here. The Film Bureau wants to produce a tribute film for the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea."

"So do you have any ideas or plans now?"

The air suddenly became stagnant.

Chen Fei didn't expect that this person would be so direct and get straight to the point.

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "I do have some ideas, but I don't have any specific plans yet. After all, this kind of mainstream film cannot be divorced from reality, and the script is not that easy to write."

"That's true." Jiao Hongfen responded softly, but he couldn't hide his emotion and shock in his heart.

The boss just finished a meeting yesterday, and he already has some ideas today. He is worthy of being the number one director in the domestic entertainment industry. His creative level is simply amazing!
In fact, the reason why he came to my door this afternoon was mainly because he had been in a meeting yesterday and even this morning, conveying the bureau's intentions.

It was not until noon today that the people in the company finally understood the real meaning of their superiors.

In Jiao Hongfen's opinion, this kind of efficiency is actually fast enough in state-owned enterprises.

But he really didn't expect that Chen Fei already had an idea and was ready to start working on the next plan.

Look at this efficiency, it’s extremely fast!
While feeling deeply moved, Jiao Hongfen opened his briefcase and took out a preliminary letter of intent for investment.

"In fact, I came here this time to cooperate with Feiyue Films to jointly create this mainstream commercial film and strive to set a new benchmark for the industry..."

The familiar official language came to Chen Fei's face, and he was no longer surprised because his ears were already calloused from it.

However, he was still quite interested in this letter of intent.

He took it and lowered his head to read it with curiosity.

The main investor is China Film Group, starting from 500 million, with popular actors and acting talents, creating a new benchmark for mainstream commercial blockbusters, and guiding the new forces of domestic entertainment...

Looking at the meaning expressed between the lines of this letter of intent, Chen Fei couldn't help but frown slightly.

Not to mention all the other messy conditions, he simply could not accept the fact that "China Film Group was the main investor".

Perhaps other directors, such as Teng Huatao and Guan Hu, would be very excited when they see that investors are willing to give them money to let them make movies!
After all, writing a script is easy, but attracting investment is not easy!
However, Chen Fei had no concerns about this at all.

His scripts and projects never end up with no one investing in them and losing money at the box office.

Even if an ordinary company has a huge amount of money, it may not be able to get an investment share from him.

As for the right of control, don’t even think about it!
His projects have always been controlled and decided by him. Want to have control? You have to be more capable and talented than him.

Therefore, Chen Fei would never agree to the condition of "China Film Group as the main investor".

As for the empty official rhetoric that followed, he wasn't even interested in taking a closer look.

Still have popular actors + acting talent? Create a new benchmark for mainstream commercial blockbusters? Guide the new forces of domestic entertainment?

There is something wrong!

Let those popular actors shoot mainstream movies. Haha, what can they do? Play a hygienist or a member of a cultural troupe?

Chen Fei pretended to ask casually: "Mr. Jiao seems to value popular actors very much?"

Jiao Hongfen laughed when he heard this: "Although I am old, I can still keep up with the trend. Nowadays, these young people have their own publicity resources, so there is no need to preheat the Douyin topic.

As long as we can reach a cooperation, you just need to focus on polishing the script and doing a good job in filming, and leave the rest to the group..."

Chen Fei twitched his lips, revealing a bit of teasing, and interrupted him directly:

"In the winter of 1951, Zhao Jindou, the cook squad leader of the th Army, carried an iron pot through a fire network. His intestines flowed out and he tied them up with leggings... Do you think such a story is suitable for young actors with smoky makeup and popular actors to play?"

Jiao Hongfen's smile suddenly froze on his face.

He picked up the teacup and put it down again, the bottom of the cup making a crisp sound on the glass, "Director Chen, I think the main theme must also keep pace with the times.

Moreover, a lot of young blood has been injected into the association now, and we must let them flow. We will all grow old one day, and young people are the future of the industry. "

These words were like a nail wrapped in velvet, and they sounded extremely harsh to Fade Chen.

Young blood has been injected into the association?
He slowly put down the letter of intent to invest and looked at Jiao Hongfen in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I wonder which association Mr. Jiao belongs to?"

“I’m the chairman of the Producers Guild.”

Hearing this answer, Fade Chen smiled immediately.

No wonder he always felt that the person in front of him spoke strangely. It turned out that he represented the association and came with a purpose.

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Is this... an attempt to "appease the emperor"?
Haha, interesting, it’s getting more and more interesting.

There is a saying: If you don't agree, there is no need to talk too much.

After learning about Jiao Hongfen's real purpose, Chen Fei instantly lost the desire to continue chatting with him.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with those people in the association. They were a bunch of guys who were just sitting there doing nothing and doing nothing. They only thought about asking for money from their superiors to make those so-called "art films".

The films they produce can't even be shown in movie theaters, but they frequently win various awards at the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and other award ceremonies.

What kind of behavior is this?
Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by others!
As for the "young" blood in the association that Jiao Hongfen mentioned, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be the descendants of those old guys who are just sitting in their positions doing nothing.

A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s son will dig holes.

Chen Fei knew very well what kind of characters the descendants of those old guys were like.

Because Rikutaro is the best example!

His father is the backbone of the association, and he himself is the "second generation of the association."

A single example can reveal the whole picture. This guy is like this, so how much better can others be?

Of course, Chen Fei would not stand up in anger and directly kick Jiao Hongfen out.

Since we have different ideas, let's not work together. Anyway, China Film Group is no longer the one led by Han Sanping.

It doesn't matter if Feiyue Film and Television fails to develop after leaving China Film Group, right?
So, he made up an excuse that he needed to "think about it carefully" and politely and sincerely sent Jiao Hongfen out of the company.

"I am looking forward to the day when Director Chen comes up with the project proposal."

Jiao Hongfen was quite confident because he felt that the conditions he offered were good enough and Chen Fei had no reason to refuse.

As for the additional conditions, they are all negotiable.

But he didn't know that Chen Fei had no intention of continuing the cooperation with him.

Especially after knowing his identity as the "Chairman of the Producers Association", she completely gave up the idea of ​​cooperating with him and China Film.

Compared with him, La Peikang's behavior was not even that unacceptable.

After all, Chairman Lada’s goal has always been personal political achievement, which is why he appears to be overbearing, selfish, dictatorial, and arrogant.

But Chairman Jiao Da is different.

From what he just said, we can tell that he is aiming to develop the association and discover fresh "blood".

In fact, this development strategy does meet the above requirements.

After all, according to the official document issued by the bureau, "Guiding Opinions on the Cost Allocation Ratio of TV Series and Online Drama Production", producers need to file with the three major associations and the China Radio and Television Association Actors Committee before shooting and producing film and television dramas.

Because of the issuance of this document (salary cap order), the status of the four major associations has skyrocketed!

Now there are many people in the circle who are trying their best to get into the association.

Under such circumstances, Jiao Hongfen's choice to get closer to the association, develop the association, and cultivate new forces in the association is indeed in line with the requirements of his superiors.

But what does this have to do with Chen Fei?
He is not a member of the association, so why should he lick those people's stinky feet?

He has no shortage of resources, connections, or influence...

In the past, those people under the company lacked awards and recognition from the mainland, but now he has also created the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival. Therefore, the four major associations have no face in front of him at all!

He doesn't need to bother with those people at all!
Anyone who mentions the association in front of him can just get out!

As for Jiao Hongfen, there was no need for Chen Fei to deal with him, after all, Ren Zhonglun and Wang Yong were there.

These two are not vegetarians.

La Peikang hadn't gotten any benefit from them before, so could it be possible that Jiao Hongfen had supernatural powers?
……

On the morning of September 9, Chen Fei boarded a plane to Xiying.

Although the complete script is already in the system script library, it does not mean that the project book can be created out of thin air.

A script is a script, and a project book is a project book. The two are not in the same category.

Therefore, he still had to look up information and try to make the project book as complete as possible.

At the same time, just as he set off for his new destination, there were already new hot searches and developments on the Internet.

"The youth/anti-Japanese war/modern-themed web drama "Cross Fire" co-produced by Penguin Pictures and Feiyue Pictures, produced by Feiyue Pictures, and co-starred by Lu Han, Wu Lei, Dai Luwa and others, officially started filming today."

"The Film Bureau has announced the latest list of film and television scripts that have passed review. The literary and artistic script "Life Events" submitted by Feiyue Film and Television has been successfully reviewed."

"Golden Harvest Films, Yinghuang Films, and Feiyue Films jointly released the casting notice this morning:

Wang Qianyuan, Wu Yanzu, Chun Xia, Janice Man, Dali, Yu Xiao, Li Xiaochuan and others will co-star in the crime/drama/action film "The Breaking of the Clouds".

The film is expected to be released in major domestic theaters next year, so stay tuned! ”

"A Little Wish, premiere..."

"UMG Media and Tencent Penguin Films jointly announced that the urban emotional suspense web drama "Skyscraper" directed by Chen Zhengdao, Xu Zhaoren, and Wu Zhongtian has completed all casting work.

Actors Guo Tao, Yang Zishan, Yang Ying, and Jiao Gang will jointly perform a story of breaking through layers of fog and uncovering the truth of a murder case. "

Hot searches and hot discussions continue...

With the announcement of the start of filming of "Cross Fire" starring Lu Han, Teng Huatao, who was almost forgotten, was once again pulled out by netizens and severely "tortured".

Especially those "reeds", while wishing their brother's new drama a big hit, their resentment towards Teng Huatao is endless!

If it wasn't for him ruining "Shanghai Fortress", how could his brother have to bear so much infamy?

Teng Huatao, who was recuperating at the time, was in a state of panic.

With no other options left, he had to shut down the commenting privileges on his Weibo account, trying to avoid seeing it.

It is definitely impossible for him to fight against that group of "black fans" because he simply cannot win the argument.

So, he had no choice but to escape.

However, those who scold him are still a minority after all, and more netizens are focusing on the casting lineup of "Skyscraper".

No one really expected that Yang Ying, who had been low-key for a long time due to the poor ratings of "Entrepreneurial Era" last year, would actually "come out" again!

But, she seems to be a bit lame this time? !
It would have been fine if she had just starred in a web drama, but she wasn't even the leading female role, but instead became the second female role.

Isn't the speed of falling from grace a bit too fast?

"What the hell? It's actually true! Yang Ying is really the second female lead, and she's even playing a supporting role to Yang Zishan? Oh my god! I really didn't expect that!"

"Tsk tsk, her status dropped so quickly, from the leading female role to the second female role in an instant."

"Haha, based on her acting skills, if it weren't for Huang Xiaoming's help behind the scenes, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to get a supporting role, let alone the second female lead."

"After all these years, my impression of her is still that she was 'unable to cry'. Liu Dehua was left speechless by her."

"I didn't expect that the first fallen female star among the 85 flowers would appear so vividly, and it's Yang Ying. Wow, this is really unexpected!"

There was a lot of heated discussion and debate on the Internet, and at this time, Yang Ying’s fans felt like the sky was falling!
Female No. 2!

This is the real deal, not a guest appearance or a friendly performance, but a serious second female lead.

Faced with all kinds of ridicule from the outside world, they couldn't even muster the belief to fight back.

Because it is an indisputable fact that their idol has fallen from grace, no matter how much they argue, it is useless.

All of a sudden, a large number of "career fans" quickly began to unfollow and leave the group, completely bidding farewell to Yang Ying.

As for the number of Weibo fans, Yang Ying lost nearly 200 million fans in just one day?
You know, these 200 million are real fans, not zombie fans bought with money, so their value is huge!
"Sister, the problem now is not just about fans leaving. Your commercial press releases and endorsements have all been greatly affected.

Several high-end luxury brands we had contacted before have now switched to her company and have been snatched away by other female stars and female artists..."

Listening to the agent's report, Yang Ying's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

She herself was also very unhappy and felt very upset.

But now that things have come to this, what can she do?

Huang Xiaoming is no longer willing to use too many connections and resources for her, and only got her the role of the second female lead.

She had no choice but to be obedient and accept this role.

As for the leading female role, it had already been booked by another actress, and she didn't even have the qualifications to audition!
Everyone has a "sponsor", but her sponsor is no longer willing to help her and only wants her to stay at home to take care of the baby...

At this moment, deep regret filled Yang Ying's heart and was difficult to dispel.

If she had known that the situation would be like this after marriage, she would never have agreed to Huang Xiaoming and would have chosen to marry him early.

Before she got married, she was still able to get the resources to play the leading female role in various movies and TV series.

But after getting married, Huang Xiaoming no longer paid much attention to her, and some time ago he even suggested that she quit the entertainment industry and become a full-time housewife.

How could she endure this?
"Haha, men are like this. Once they're done and satisfied, they stop caring and are unwilling to continue investing!"

Yang Ying sneered, she was completely disappointed with Huang Xiaoming.

The agent's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "Isn't it because you can't help yourself?
How much resources has your husband invested in you? You didn't grasp any of them, and you messed up one after another. How can you expect others to help you? You are really greedy! "

Yang Ying naturally didn’t know that even her agent was very dissatisfied with her.

At this moment, a bold idea had already emerged in her mind!

If it really doesn't work out, then - divorce!
Isn’t it just about finding a financial sponsor?
If this one is gone, just find the next one. Huang Xiaoming is not the only one who has resources in the entertainment industry. There are many people who are more powerful than him!

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of another thing.

"Can you help me find out about the latest art film "Life Events" approved by Feiyue Films? Is there a role suitable for me in it?

It doesn’t matter if it’s not the leading actress, it can be the second or third female lead, or even a cameo appearance, as long as there is a role, I will take it! ”

"Mmm Good."

The agent actually doesn't have high expectations.

With the acting skills of their own artist, it would be strange if Feiyue Film and Television would use her!

But it's good to find something to do, which is better than staying in the company every day and enduring Yang Ying's anger from time to time.

At the same time, when Yang Ying was taking action, other artists and brokerage companies in the circle also took action.

Especially those actors who pursue awards are extremely enthusiastic about "Life Events".

You know, Feiyue Films' art films have always been regular visitors to the three major European film festivals, and have never made a wasted trip.

If I could get the qualification to participate, let alone win any awards, even just a nomination would be enough to brag about for years.

Especially when people heard that "Life Events" tells the story of a "mortician" and that Chen Fei himself was the screenwriter, the entire film and television industry was completely shocked!

You know, the movie "Departures", which won the Cannes Palme d'Or, also tells the story of a "mortician".

The story content and structure of the two films may be completely different, but in terms of award-winning potential, I believe there will definitely not be much difference!
