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

Chapter 1230 Whoever is weak will be embarrassed!
"At 9:30 this morning, Feiyue Films released a notice announcing that the project of "Life Events" has officially been approved!"

“Funeral themes have a unique perspective in the film industry, and ‘Life Events’ will use this as a starting point to focus on the lives of ordinary people.

The work tells the story of funeral director Mo Sanmei, who met an orphan named Wu Xiaowen during a funeral shortly after being released from prison. Xiaowen's appearance completely changed Mo Sanmei's attitude towards her career and life. The two grew up together under the influence of each other, interpreting a warm, healing and down-to-earth life story. "

"The film will be produced and supervised by director Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Feiyue Films' newly signed director Wen Muye will appear as the director. The relevant casting work will officially start today."

……

On the morning of September 9, with the anticipation of the entire film and television industry, the project of "Life Events" was officially announced!
Tian Zhuangzhuang, who is known as one of the "fifth generation directors of China" along with Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, is the producer, Chen Fei is the screenwriter, and new director Wen Muye is the cameraman...

When these news came out, many people reacted immediately.

Feiyue Films is about to start promoting new directors again!

And if nothing unexpected happens, this new director must be very talented, otherwise he would not have received such strong support from Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Fei.

It’s this casting requirement that always seems weird.

The male lead "Mo Sanmei" is about 30 years old. He often wears a floral shirt, sunglasses, a buzz cut and stubble. His overall look is very down-to-earth...

The leading female role, "Wu Xiaowen", is required to be 8 to 10 years old, can speak Sichuan dialect, has a stubborn personality, but is sensitive and fragile inside. Her overall look is playful and cute without losing her personality, and is full of the sense of déjà vu of "Little Nezha".

In a movie, the people who pay the most attention to are naturally the leading male and female actors.

But as the audition requirements and conditions of "Life Events" appeared, those young popular actors suddenly became discouraged.

Not to mention other things, just the point that "the overall shape is very down-to-earth" is something that many people simply don't know how to show.

They are usually pretty boys who are best at eating peaches, so how could they possibly show such a bad and mean temperament?

"Arthur, I have signed you up for the audition for the leading male role in Life Events. You should work hard during this period and study the psychological activities of the character Mo Sanmei.

Also, in order to familiarize you with the work process of a 'mortician', I have already contacted a funeral home for you, and you can go and learn and observe for a while."

"what???"

Listening to what his mother Chen Hong said, Chen Feiyu was completely confused.

What's going on?

He obviously hadn't even thought about auditioning for "Life Events"! Why did his mom sign him up?

"What?" Chen Hong thrust the audition script at him without hesitation, "From now on, you don't have to go to the promotional activities for My Motherland and Me. Just focus on preparing for the audition."

"But..." Chen Feiyu was a little entangled, "Aren't they asking for around 30 years old? I just turned 19 this year. Is it appropriate to audition for this kind of role?"

"What's inappropriate? Age can be portrayed with makeup. The main thing is to have good acting skills. If you act well enough, what's wrong with being 30? Who says a 19-year-old can't play a 30-year-old?"

Chen Hong's tone was quite calm at first, but in the end, a feeling of "disappointment with someone" inexplicably emerged.

Perhaps because the starting point was too high, his son did not have much enterprising spirit. He just waited for resources to come to him every day instead of thinking about fighting for them.

This is not a good sign!

That is to say, Brother Chen Kai is still active in the film and television industry. If he gets old and retires, Chen Feiyu's future will definitely be difficult!

Therefore, in Chen Hong's opinion, the best way for her son to develop now is to seize the opportunity and work hard to move up while his cheap father, Brother Chen Kai, can still make movies and has considerable influence in the circle, rather than sit and wait for resources to fly into his mouth.

“You have to compete with other actors and artists instead of waiting for me and your father to help you find resources, because the best resources are obtained through competition, do you understand?
Especially with the resources of Feiyue Film and Television, you should also know that what they value is not the popularity and traffic of the actors, but how good their acting skills are!
If you can get this role, it's definitely better than following your dad, without exaggeration!"

Hearing this last sentence, Chen Feiyu couldn't help but widen his eyes!

Is this person in front of me still my mother?
If he remembered correctly, in front of outsiders, his mother always regarded his father as a god, just like a believer, worshiping, admiring and following his lead!
But now?

He actually heard disrespectful words about his father from his mother. Isn't this too magical?
Could it be that I was hallucinating?
However, just as he was stunned, Chen Hong said sternly: "Do you remember what I just said? You must prepare for the audition seriously, understand?"

Chen Feiyu finally reacted and quickly assured:

"Yeah, I get it, Mom. Don't worry, I will work hard and prepare seriously for the audition. I will fight for it!"

"Well, this is a good son of yours."

A smile finally appeared on Chen Hong's face.

Although my son is not very talented in acting, he is persistent and very obedient, which is already very good.

Compared to those impetuous traffic stars, if his son can proceed steadily, he may be able to compete with those veteran actors in the future!
"But Mom, what if I fail in the competition?" Chen Feiyu asked tentatively. After all, he really had no confidence.

"It's okay. Don't you still have your father?"

"what?"

Looking at her son's confused eyes, Chen Hong thought for a moment and revealed some news to him: "After My Motherland and Me is finished, your dad will prepare a new movie."

Chen Feiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What's the subject?"

"It's a youth reality theme, and it mainly tells the story of his childhood. You'll know when the time comes."

"okay."

Chen Feiyu nodded slightly, still a little excited.

If nothing unexpected happens, he can participate in this project again.

What’s more, since it’s a realistic film, maybe it can take this opportunity to win one or two major awards!
……

……

"Yesterday, the animation/action/fantasy film "The Legend of Luo Xiaohei" produced by Yanjing Gene Films closed at 4555.3 million yuan on its first day."

"Happy Twist, Aimei Films, Huanxi Media and other companies jointly issued a notice:

The comedy film "Warm Hug" has completed all auditions and casting. Chang Yuan, Li Qin, Shen Teng, Qiao Shan, Tian Yu, Wang Zhi and others will co-star. "

"The main theme war film "Eight Hundred", produced by China Film Investment, directed by Guan Hu, and starring Wang Qianyuan, Jiang Wu, and Huang Zhizhong, was officially announced to be completed this morning."

On the morning of the 8th, the online hot searches ushered in a wave of changes and transformations.

Soon, companies that were making animated films or were about to be involved in the animation business turned their attention to the animated film "The Legend of Luo Xiaohei".

The first day box office was 4555 million! This result is already quite good.

Another group of netizens who like comedy movies have set their sights on "Warm Hug".

"Isn't Chang Yuan the grandson of Chang Baohua, the crosstalk artist? How come he's also making a movie?"

“Why does it feel like this time is getting more and more magical, with more and more people starting to cross over and make movies?”

"Obviously, there is a lot of Tencent content in "Warm Hugs", which is worth buying. I am looking forward to it."

"..."

Unlike the focus of netizens, Feng Xiaogang was already nervous about the completion of "The Eight Hundred".

As the National Day holiday is approaching, "The Eight Hundred" will definitely not be able to make it in time.

Well then, let’s just say that, will this guy go to the Lunar New Year movie box office?
If it were in the past, he could have just reported it to Huayi and have his "Only Yun Knows" and "The Eight Hundred" released at different times.

But now Huayi is finished, and Guan Hu has become a member of China Film Group. How can he have the qualifications to order the other party around?

"Please don't go to the Lunar New Year holiday. Please don't go to the Lunar New Year holiday! Please..."

In the office, Feng Xiaogang prayed softly, his heart full of desire for "success"!

He now has only one idea, which is that the fewer blockbusters there are during the Lunar New Year holiday, the better, so that his chances of success will be higher.

In fact, what he is most worried about right now is the movie "Borderbreaker" directed by Chen Fei. This is his biggest opponent!

But what made him suspicious and puzzled was that the filming of "Boundary Breaker" had been completed for more than half a year, but there was still no news about the release date.

This is very strange~

"What on earth is Chen Fei doing? Will his movie be released soon?"

While Feng Xiaogang was wondering, at this time at Xiying, Chen Fei was busy looking up information related to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

The slightly damp archive is filled with the scent of years of paper.

Chen Fei stopped in front of a bookshelf and tiptoed to take down the file box on the top iron shelf.

"call--"

The raised dust formed a hazy beam of light under the overhead light, perfectly showing the beauty of the Tyndall effect.

However, Chen Fei did not have much energy to pay attention to the Tyndall effect because he was busy looking up information.

The pile of brown paper file bags on the table in front of him was already half a person's height. These were his "achievements" in recent days.

"November 1950, 11, the Ninth Corps' march record..."

The yellowed vertical text looked frayed under the light. Chen Fei read it very carefully and took notes in the notebook next to him from time to time.

"Da da da!"

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Wang Yong pushed the door and walked in, holding the information borrowed from a sister unit.

Seeing Fade Chen looking back, he smiled slightly, shook the information in his hand, and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have successfully borrowed the 20th Army battlefield communication records you asked for."

"Okay, thank you."

Fade Chen took it from him, opened it and started reading.

The first communication record that caught his eyes made his heart tremble violently!
"Dear sister, we have been guarding Dead Eagle Ridge for three days. Our cotton-padded clothes are frozen like iron armor. Xiao Wang went to the camp to deliver a letter this morning and never came back. I shared his fried noodles with the wounded. If I cannot return home, please transfer the pension to Weifang..."

Looking further back, records appeared before my eyes one after another, describing that cruel battlefield very clearly!

"The sky was full of enemy planes. We had no air superiority. Many of my comrades who had not yet gone to the front were strafed by enemy planes as if they were stakes. I didn't know when I would die on the battlefield."

"Our army's supply lines were blown up, and in the freezing cold of -40 degrees Celsius, the soldiers could only endure the cold, eat teeth-breaking frozen potatoes, and watch the enemy celebrate Thanksgiving!"

The more he read, the more Chen Fei could appreciate the cruelty of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea!
He was not actually a professional military fan, and his knowledge of that period of history was limited, but when he was a child he had heard about the story of "eating a mouthful of fried noodles and a mouthful of snow" from his grandfather.

He didn't feel much at the time.

But now, looking at these documents and records, he truly felt that the reason why he could have such a comfortable life now was all due to the blood and lives of the martyrs!

Those soldiers who died in the ice and snow should never be forgotten!

The older generation often says: "If we don't fight, the next generation will have to fight."

Now, Chen Fei wants to respond to them with one sentence: "Thank you for your sacrifice for the great land of our motherland and for the well-being and prosperity of our people. We will always remember it in our hearts!"

Two lines of hot tears slid down his cheeks. The hot and warm feeling made Chen Fei want to do something even more.

So, he opened the project book that was almost done and added a sentence at the end:

"The towering Great Wall and magnificent mountains and rivers, the story of "Changjin Lake" is indeed cruel, but today's prosperous motherland is the best reward and response to the martyrs!"

……

In a blink of an eye, it was January 9th.

In the large conference room of the Film Bureau, Li Guoqi, Jiao Hongfen, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Yong, Fu Ruoqing and others gathered together again.

The fragrance of Longjing tea wafted through the conference room. Li Guoqi's fingers tapped lightly on the mahogany tabletop as his eyes slowly swept across the room.

"Everyone is here, right? Let's get started then."

After he finished speaking, Li Guoqi opened the folder in front of him with the word "Confidential" printed on it. The sound of paper rubbing against each other was particularly clear in the quiet conference room.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he said in a deep voice: "First, let me report the situation."

As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of photos from a folder and pushed them to the center of the table.

The yellowed old photo slid across the glass table with a slight sound, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.

The photo shows the bodies of the volunteers frozen in the trenches, with ice and snow condensing into crystal armor on their young faces.

"This is undisclosed information that was just transferred from the Military Museum. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the Ninth Corps lost 30,000 men due to frostbite..."

Wang Yong reached out and took a few photos. He looked at them and whispered, "An uncle of mine participated in the Xinxingli battle. He told me that he was so cold that he couldn't even pull the bolt, so he had to bite the grenade fuse with his teeth."

"So, this tribute film cannot be made into a simple war thriller!"

Li Guoqi's words were powerful: "Wolf Warrior 2's 58 billion box office proved that the market needs heroism, but we want heroes with historical depth."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Jiao Hongfen was about to say something, but at this moment, Li Guoqi suddenly laughed and said, "The project book of "Changjin Lake" submitted by Feiyue Films is very good.

It adopts a multi-line narrative, starting from the four dimensions of decision-making, command, soldiers, and the enemy's perspective, fully showing the authenticity of history..."

Hearing these words, Jiao Hongfen frowned subconsciously.

Feiyue Films submitted the project proposal to the Film Bureau?

When did this happen?
Why didn't he receive any news?
He subconsciously turned his head slightly and looked at the other people in the meeting room.

Except for Fu Ruoqing of Huaying who still looked confused, the leaders of Xiying, Shanghai Film and Bayi all looked confident of victory.

Seeing this, Jiao Hongfen reacted immediately!
No wonder he didn't receive any news. It turned out that Feiyue Film and Television had reached a cooperation with these three companies, and excluded companies such as China Film and Huaying!
"He didn't even like the conditions I proposed?"

Jiao Hongfen's heart sank, and he was immediately filled with surprise and confusion.

After all, in his opinion, the letter of intent to invest that he showed Chen Fei that day was the highest sincerity that China Film could offer.

But the result was completely different from what he expected!
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt helpless for no reason.

Is it possible that China Film Group and Feiyue Film and Television still cannot return to their original "honeymoon" period?

So what does Chen Fei want?
He has already expressed the highest sincerity and the most sincere invitation on behalf of the association. Could it be that the other party is still not satisfied?
While he was thinking, Li Guoqi broke through and named him: "The project submitted by China Film Group is also very good, focusing on a bridge over the 'King Kong River' during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

The story revolves around engineers building bridges and artillery blocking US bombers, telling the story of a battle that took place in a short period of time. This entry point is quite novel and could be expanded upon.”

"Well, OK, I will arrange for someone to study this project in depth when I return."

Jiao Hongfen nodded in response, but he was still thinking about Chen Fei and "Changjin Lake" in his heart.

According to the current situation, if the cooperation between China Film Group and Feiyue Film and Television cannot be carried out, then "Changjin Lake" and "King Kong River" are likely to develop into a "rival" relationship!
This is not a good thing for China Film.

Although the above requirement is only to produce a tribute film, if "Changjin Lake" and "King Kong River" are fully filmed, they will inevitably be compared.

Regardless of the subject matter or genre, box office performance is the best evidence to verify whether a movie is good or not.

But when it is officially released, it will be a case of “whoever is the worst will be embarrassed”!
