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

Chapter 1232 Anonymous report? !
"You two...have worked hard!"

On September 9th, Chen Fei returned from Hollywood and after adjusting to the jet lag at home, he went straight to the company.

As one of Feiyue Film and Television's current key projects, he would naturally pay attention to the audition of "Life Events".

However, after watching the audition clips from the previous two days, he couldn't help but pray silently for Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wen Muye in his heart for three seconds.

He really couldn't imagine how these two people managed to hold on!
Especially Yang Ying's audition clip, which made him almost die of embarrassment.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if you randomly pick a professional student from Beijing Film Academy, his acting skills are better than hers!
There are also Yang Mi, Zhang Yuqi, Yuan Shanshan and others, whose acting skills are either awkward or they come with plastic surgery faces.

Forget about the suitability of the roles, they can’t even appear in the camera lens!
If that plastic surgery face were put on the big screen, it would definitely scare the audience!
"This is just the first round of auditions. We will definitely have to go through a big screening. Things will be much better in the second round." Tian Zhuangzhuang is very patient.

Wen Muye on the side also nodded: "Try more, it will also help me understand the character more deeply."

"Well, then I wish you good luck."

Chen Fei didn't know what to say.

If this happened to him, even if these people sent their resumes to him in person, he wouldn't even bother to look at them!

Having been in the industry for so long, he already has a scale in his mind to judge who has good acting skills and who has poor acting skills, who can be used and who cannot be used.

Returning to his office, Chen Fei turned on his computer and started typing away on the keyboard.

For a moment, the story of "Changjin Lake" slowly unfolded on the computer desktop.

The requirement is that the film be released in theaters next year, which is the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

It's nice to have expectations, but the reality is definitely impossible.

At least from Chen Fei's point of view, there is absolutely no hope.

Even though he had already decided to ask Kang Honglei and Guo Fan to help shoot the movie.

Although shooting with three people can shorten the time, there may be force majeure factors later, and the crew will definitely have to stop working at that stage.

With one delay and two or three delays, it would be strange if it could be released next year, at least the year after next.

But by then, we will be able to catch up with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party.

……

After a night, it was the morning of the 16th.

Just as "A Little Wish" topped the trending search list with its box office revenue exceeding 2 million in four days, new developments came out from the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival.

All of a sudden, a large number of media and marketing accounts swarmed in and reported:
"After half a month of continuous film watching and selection, the works shortlisted for the main competition unit of the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival are fresh out!"

"4 films, including "Dying to Survive", "The Wandering Earth", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", "Galaxy Tutorial", "Green Book", "Les Miserables", "Manslaughter", "Nobody", "Roma", "The Favourite", "So Long, My Son", "Joker", and "Avengers: End Game", have been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit."

"On October 10, the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival will officially set sail! Many filmmakers from home and abroad will gather at the Shanhai Film and Television Base to participate in the event!"

"So far, hundreds of film companies from nearly 50 countries have gathered at the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, and will soon start film screenings and film copyright sales and other related matters."

"Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube, Sky.com, Allociné, Kinopoisk, DMM.com and other streaming sites from around the world have officially announced that they will enter the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival and will reprint the awards ceremony and conduct film and television copyright cooperation and other related matters."

"..."

Blasted!

The entire internet was in an uproar!

Looking at the large number of press releases and reports about the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, netizens are almost going crazy with excitement!
"Oh my god! Why do I feel like our own Oscars for the Chinese film and television industry are about to be born?"

"I agree with the above comment, China's Hollywood has officially come into being!"

"Wow! Director Chen is really awesome! He achieved the No. 1 achievement in the director circle abroad, and after returning to China, he led the continuous development of Chinese-language films. This ability! He can be called the first in the history of Chinese-language films!"

"Only Director Chen has this ability. Everyone else is just talking nonsense. Do you know the value of the 'Hollywood Myth'?"

“《复联4》总票房30亿美元！我滴个乖乖！从1895年电影初诞生之际，到现在已经过去124年了，这还是第一部单部电影破30亿美元票房的影片！”

There is a lot of heated discussion online, it's really boiling.

Of course, some public intellectuals also heard the news and made all kinds of contemptuous remarks.

It's nothing more than all kinds of nonsense that express pessimism, disapproval, and meaninglessness.

Without exception, all of these remarks were subjected to concentrated attacks and saturation strikes from netizens and Chen Fei's fans.

After the exchange of words, those public intellectuals fled in fear and dared not speak out again.

However, within the major associations, a new wave of heated discussions has been sparked at this time.

"This Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival has created such a huge sensation, what are we going to do with the upcoming Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival?"

"That's right! The two award ceremonies are less than a month apart. They made such a big fuss. Who would still pay attention to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards?"

"Which department gave the green light? Many foreign films are not suitable for mainland audiences, so why should they be allowed to be screened in mainland China?"

Netizens are not interested in watching obscure art films such as "Send Me to the Clouds", "Find You", "The Blizzard Is Coming", and "Passing Shaoguan".

In comparison, top commercial blockbusters and feature films with real substance look more enjoyable!
……

On the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th, for four whole days, Chen Fei had been busy with the script and preparations for "The Battle at Lake Changjin" and had not paid any attention to the outside world at all.

As soon as Liu Yifei came back from Shanxi Province, she transformed from a "dominant heroine" to a "good wife", arranging everything at home in order.

Without being disturbed by anyone, Chen Fei finally finished sorting out the script on the morning of the 21st.

During this period, Kang Honglei and Guo Fan also arrived one after another, "received" their own tasks, and completed the division of labor.

Chen Fei will be responsible for filming the part about the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entering North Korea, focusing on creating the film's epic artistic temperament and contemporary atmosphere.

For example, the tranquility and peace of the Jiangnan water town at the beginning, the soldiers going to the battlefield and boarding the train, as well as the scene where the soldiers of the seventh company tease Wu Wanli on the train and see the Great Wall.

At the same time, it is also necessary to focus on the shaping of the characters, such as the early character portrayal of actors such as Wu Qianli and Wu Wanli, to lay the foundation for the growth and development of the characters and convey a simple and pure sense of family and country.

Guo Fan is mainly responsible for the completeness of the film's story and the presentation of vivid details, as well as adjusting the overall coherence and logic of the film.

At the same time, he also needs to be responsible for some large-scale climax scenes and scenes set in snow and ice, and maintain the characteristics of the characters in the later war scenes, so that the characters still have distinct personalities and emotions in the complex war environment.

As for Kang Honglei, he is better at handling thrilling battle scenes, so he will be responsible for shooting most of the war scenes.

For example, the Incheon landing, the bombing of the 38th parallel and military trains, the rocky beach, the encounter with civilian houses halfway up the mountain, etc., will all be handled by him, and the bravery and perseverance of the volunteer soldiers, the violence and cruelty of the war and the emotions of the characters will be perfectly presented on the screen.

As for the final "fusion" of the three parties, it will still return to Chen Fei's hands and he will be responsible for handling it.

"Do you all understand your respective tasks?"

On the afternoon of the 21st, the three of them held another meeting in Chen Fei's office.

Guo Fan and Kang Honglei looked at each other and nodded in unison, "Understood!"

"Okay, then go back and prepare. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. I will be in the company before October 10st, and we can have a meeting anytime."

The two nodded silently, holding the script in their hands, stood up and left the office.

At this moment, Chen Fei's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, he stretched out his finger and swiped across the screen, "Director Han? What's the matter?" "I've heard a lot of rumors recently..."

Before Han Sanping finished speaking, Fade Chen interrupted her cheerfully, "It's about the rumor about the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, right?"

"Oh? You already know?"

"Yes." Chen Fei laughed continuously: "I have received the news. In the past few days, many anonymous reports have appeared in the bureau and even the ministry. It is obvious that those old people just can't bear to see me get better."

It’s quite interesting to say.

If they dared to report it with their real names, Chen Fei might even respect them.

But this group of old guys actually made an anonymous report and did not even dare to reveal their names, as if they were still afraid of retaliation.

This operation is also unique...

How can you succeed if you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind?

Chen Fei looked down on them. They were so crazy on weekdays, but why did they become so cowardly at the critical moment?

He originally wanted to talk to the other party if someone reported him with real name.

But now, this idea is completely shattered.

What can a bunch of rats in the gutter, who dare not even show their faces, accomplish?

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Han Sanping asked.

"Not for now. The Ministry has already replied to me, telling me to go ahead and do it boldly. Don't worry about those gossips. They won't amount to anything."

The big guys above are not stupid, otherwise they wouldn’t all be in high positions.

They are most aware of the current status of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.

The choice to support the Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival is precisely to counterbalance the arrogance of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival!

As soon as the salary cap order was issued, the status of the association skyrocketed, and many people began to become complacent, and even lost track of their own abilities.

If we don't give them some warning, won't the whole thing go haywire?
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything. Oh, by the way, the preparations for Jianu are almost finished, and the film will officially start shooting in mid-October. You can stop by and take a look if you have time."

"Okay, I'll go to the studio to watch it during the film festival."

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen packed up his things and prepared to go home early after get off work.

Liu Yifei sent a WeChat message saying that she wanted to eat barbecue and invited many friends to her home, asking them to go back early if they were free.

It just so happened that the preparation work for "Changjin Lake" had come to a temporary end, so he didn't need to continue working overtime until late.

On the way home, he went online to check out the latest developments in the film and television industry.

More than 10 movies have been released one after another, but the box office data is sluggish, each one is worse than the last.

On the contrary, "A Little Wish", a low-budget youth/comedy movie with an investment of less than 5000 million yuan, has now reached a box office of 4.6 million yuan and is about to break the 5 million yuan mark!

Compared with other movies of the same period, this result is undoubtedly very eye-catching!
But they can do nothing but envy and jealousy.

Because a movie's box office performance is a true reflection of its quality.

Good is good, bad is bad. This is not a TV series or web series where you can use various underwater operations to brush up the data.

Moreover, given the current situation of the domestic film market, small companies generally do not dare to do things like inflating the box office.

Once discovered, you will definitely be in big trouble!
……

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

The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw" officially ended with a box office of 15.3 billion.

At this point, the only "Phoenix" still available in the theater market with the highest box office performance is "The Wandering Earth".

The box office revenue, which has reached 67 billion, is like an insurmountable mountain standing in the way of all domestic films!

There are even many people online speculating whether the combined box office of these main-theme movies released during the National Day holiday can break the box office record of "The Wandering Earth"?

Some say yes.

Some people say it can't.

Some people even went to Chen Fei's Weibo to ask him to come out and analyze and comment.

Naturally, he couldn't speak freely, because he couldn't guess that the box office of "My People, My Country" and "The Captain" would eventually reach more than 3 billion?

But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, the box office performance of "The Climbers" will definitely not be too high.

The reason for such a conclusion is mainly because he is currently at the premiere of "The Climbers"!

Watching this movie... made his eyes go dark again and again.

The chaotic rhythm, clichéd script, abrupt music and awkward lines are fine, but as a basic condition for a movie, the actors' lip movements and lines don't match. What kind of fantasy operation is this?

In addition, the entire movie frequently uses grand music to forcibly exaggerate the audience's emotions and overdraw the audience's feelings, as if trying to make people fall into some kind of "touching" emotion.

But this plot is really not touching...

Under Li Rengang's shaping, the main theme movie was directly turned into a "martial arts romance film" by him.

He really wanted to ask, what is the significance of Black Peony in the movie, is it just to fall in love with Jing Boran?

It is obvious that the prototype of this character was the first female member to reach the summit of the North Slope, but she was portrayed as a naive and innocent person, which is seriously out of line with historical facts.

Also, why did Xu Ying, played by Zhang Ziyi, force herself to lead her teammates to the summit even though she knew that she was in poor health? Was it just to make her teammates pay for her love?
The characterization is flat, the transitions are very abrupt, and Wu Jing's aura of being the protagonist is too strong...

At first glance, there are so many flaws!

Especially the final radio confession between Wu Jing and Zhang Ziyi completely diluted the sublimation of reaching the summit.

The grand propositions that had been repeatedly piled up before, such as national honor and adventurous enthusiasm, suddenly became trees without roots, and they accumulated directly in the heart, difficult to release, making people feel suffocated.

You know, love was originally just a subplot in the movie.

Clearly three quarters of the article is about sprinting through adversity under the trend of political mission, but in the end the theme is suddenly changed to "The Unforgettable Love on Mount Everest". Isn't this pure schizophrenia?

"This movie seemed pretty good when it was being filmed. How come it turned out like this after it was released?"

At the end, Wu Jing, who was sitting next to Chen Fei, couldn't help scratching his head and felt like he was about to suffer from embarrassment.

When filming, he felt it was quite touching to confess his love on the top of Mount Everest.

But now seeing the finished film, it’s so ridiculous!

And the "flying over the eaves and walking on the walls" operation was really cool when filming, but with the blessing of the big screen and special effects, it looks very fake, as if it has become a martial arts film...

This is so fucked up!
Fade Chen glanced at him and reminded him, "Be prepared to be scolded."

Wu Jing smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, I still have "The Captain" and "My People, My Country". It's impossible for those two movies to be criticized as well, right?"
