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

Chapter 1238: Late Bloomer...Divorce! Make a name for yourself!

October 10th, Regent Hotel Chongqing, the mountain city.

The opening ceremony and press conference of "As Solid as a Rock" were both held in the hotel, unlike "Assassination of Novelist" which was held directly in the open air.

The Regent Hotel is also the prototype of the "Golden Five Hotel" owned by Li Zhitian, played by Feng Lei. Scenes such as the killer sneaking into the room and attacking will be filmed here.

Chen Fei's arrival was warmly welcomed by everyone at the scene!

After greeting Wang Changtian and Zhang Yimou, the original "In the Name of People" team also came up and greeted him.

Bao Jianfeng, Xu Yajun, Zhang Zhijian... and Li Naiwen, Tian Yu, He Zhengjun, Chen Chong... these are all old acquaintances.

"Hello, Director Chen. I'm Sun Yizhou. Do you remember me? Class of 02 at Shanghai Theatre Academy..."

When he heard this voice, Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and saw Sun Yizhou, who played Lu Ziqiao in "Love Apartment", standing next to him.

"Well, hello, of course I remember, I remember I have your contact information."

Chen Fei chatted with him casually for a few words, but what he was thinking about was what happened between him and Yang Ying before.

Because of the movie "The Princess Weiyoung", Yang Ying had made a statement in the circle, saying that she wanted to ban Sun Yizhou and did not want to see him appear in the film and television industry again.

But now it seems that the "ban" slogan has completely failed.

Without Huang Xiaoming's support, and coupled with her own poor performance in recent years, she may not be able to protect herself, let alone ban others.

Sun Yizhou was tactful enough to step aside after saying hello.

Zhang Yimou was preparing some materials before the start of filming, but Wang Changtian walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards Chen Fei.

Seeing their boss coming over, the group of staff members who had surrounded Chen Fei for his autograph all dispersed like birds and beasts, and no one dared to come over again.

"Haha, Director Wang's prestige is quite high. It seems that everyone seems to be a little afraid of you?"

"Humph, you have no manners and you don't even consider what the situation is today."

Wang Changtian glared at a few staff members, but did not go out of his way to scold them.

It's enough to have an attitude, otherwise this group of people will most likely give up in the next filming.

The art of controlling subordinates is quite complicated, and one must strike the right balance.

"Your film, The Battle at Lake Changjin..."

"Hey! Stop!" Chen Fei had already guessed what he was going to say. He shrugged helplessly and said, "This project is a mission film."

As soon as he heard the three words "mission film", Wang Changtian understood that this was not something that light could interfere with.

Of course, this did not prevent him from finding out the news.

"I heard that China Film Group has also released a similar film. Are they trying to compete with you?"

"more or less."

Jiao Hongfen was ultimately unable to participate in the "Changjin Lake" project.

Chen Fei ignored him, and the other state-owned enterprise investors would not give him any face, so he was unable to curry any favor.

After all this, he had no other choice but to do it himself.

After all, this is a mission film and China Film cannot fail to participate.

"You have dealt with the newly appointed chairman of China Film Group Corporation several times. What do you think of him? Is he easy to get along with?"

Wang Changtian's subsequent question stumped Chen Fei.

After thinking for a while, he said, "This person should be considered a direct descendant of the association, so he likes to speak in an official tone..."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian immediately became worried.

He originally thought that the previous La Peikang was already very difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that the new one would be so difficult to deal with.

But at the same time, he also discovered a new problem, "Doesn't that mean that there will be a lot of art films coming out next?"

"That's about right. He will definitely support the association. Those old guys who couldn't get investment from China Film Group will probably have to come out this time."

"What a bunch of damned worms!"

Wang Changtian immediately started to curse and complain.

The existence of China Film Group is supposed to support the film and television industry, especially those small and medium-sized, technologically advanced and capable companies and producers, who are the ones who need help the most.

Those who are truly capable but lack funds have to turn to shooting web dramas and short plays.

On the other hand, the quality of those theater movies, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Greatest Hero", is not even as good as "Boonie Bears"!
As for the terrible movie "Operation Jiaolong", everyone is calling for it to be banned!
Are you still memorizing lines on the fly for fear of leaking state secrets?
What kind of fucking marketing plan is this?

……

At 10 a.m., the premiere of "Rock Solid" officially kicked off.

Lao Mouzi really likes this subject. When interviewed by reporters, he happily said:
“Solid as a Rock is a realistic work that I have been wanting to try for many years. This time, it focuses on contemporary urban crime and digs deeply into human nature and social issues. It is also a brand new and extremely challenging creation for me…”

After interviewing Zhang Yimou, many people turned the microphone to Bao Jianfeng and asked him what he thought of the cast of the film.

"It feels quite amazing." He said with a smile: "When we were filming In the Name of People, Xu Yajun and I were rivals, and Secretary Yuliang was also a corrupt element that I had always wanted to bring down.

But in "Solid as a Rock", Mr. Zhang Zhijian actually became my father, and I was a little confused at the time."

Zhang Zhijian immediately took over the topic after hearing this, "The role I play is still a high-ranking official, so there is not much change in this regard, but there are more inner dramas. I hope to get to know you more."

When the camera moved to Feng Lei, he shrugged and said, "You can probably tell, right? I'm a villain, so I can't play a good guy in my lifetime."

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

They are all veteran actors, so it is natural for them to handle these launch conferences with ease.

Chen Fei and Zhou Xun stood together and after a brief interview, they began to whisper to each other.

"Jingyi told me that she was arranged to play a guest role in the crew of "Life Events". Was it you who made the call?"

Listening to Zhou Xun's words, Fade Chen shook his head slightly, "I didn't, but the company has always had an unspoken rule that most of the actors are selected from family members or acquaintances. That girl is now considered one of ours."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. It's nothing. The best way to repay me is to make this movie well."

"Just wait and see, I'm going all out this time!"

Zhou Xun said this with a solemn oath, as if he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.

Although "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has ended its broadcasting a long time ago, the character "Daru" played by her has been used to attack her by many netizens and opponents.

If she doesn't show her strength, people outside will probably say that she is just a show-off and unworthy of the title of "Three Golden Awards Best Actress".

As the launch conference ended, the media reporters received their red envelopes and left the hotel.

The crew members immediately got busy, preparing to shoot the first scene.

Zhang Yimou took the time to walk to Fade Chen's side and said with emotion: "The people in your company are really professional! They arrange everything, big or small, in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

There were things that I hadn’t even thought of, but they were all arranged one by one. It’s really a relief to have this team!”

Chen Fei laughed and said, "Haha, of course. This is the result that can only be achieved after years of training and running-in."

In fact, there is one thing he didn't say, that is, the team of "Rock Solid" was only rated medium by Feiyue Film and Television.

And those real "elites" are currently in the crews of "Assassination of Novelist", "Changjin Lake", "The Wandering Earth 2", and "Nezha: The Devil Child Conquers the Dragon King".

Oh, by the way, there is also a movie called "Life Events".

"I wonder how Wen Muye's preparations are going?" Chen Fei muttered to himself, preparing to pay attention to it after returning to Yanjing.

……

After a night, it was November 10th.

Early in the morning, many media reports appeared on the homepages of major entertainment platforms.

"The crime film "Solid as a Rock" was officially launched yesterday, produced by Guangguang, Feiyue Films, Xi'an Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, with Chen Fei and Wang Changtian as producers and Zhang Yimou as director, starring Bao Jianfeng, Zhou Xun, Xu Yajun, Zhang Zhijian, Li Naiwen, Tian Yu, He Zhengjun, Chen Chong and others."

"The official Weibo account of Feiyue Films announced that the crime-themed TV series "Trident", produced by Chen Qifu, directed by Gao Qunshu, and starring Huang Zhizhong, Jiang Wu, Guo Tao, Huang Jingyu, and Chen Duling, officially started filming today."

"Angelina Jolie, Will Smith and other Hollywood actors landed in the capital today. There were so many fans at the airport arcade that it almost caused congestion."

"The official Weibo account of Detective Chinatown 3 announced that the film will be released during the 2020 Spring Festival. Please stay tuned..."

"The movie "Better Days" released the 'Xiao Bei' version of the trailer, Yi Yang Qianxi was beaten, Zhou Dongyu felt distressed... The film will be officially released on October 10."

On the way to the company, Chen Fei looked at the news online, but he couldn't remember when the "Trident" project was started.

It was not until he arrived at the office and looked through the files in his mailbox that he suddenly remembered that this was the project he had agreed on with Chen Qifu in 16.

"My brain is becoming less and less capable. Even my memory of 16 years ago is a little fuzzy."

brain:"???"

He spent the morning processing some documents, and in the afternoon, Chen Fei went directly to the "Life Events" project team.

What he didn't expect was that when he pushed the door and walked in, he bumped into Wen Muye who was about to go out.

Fortunately, Chen Fei dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been hit by Wen Muye who was rushing out with his head down!

If this was a girl, it would be fine if she bumped into me.

But what happens when two men bump into each other?
"Director Chen... Director Chen?"

Wen Muye reacted belatedly, looked up, and was immediately startled.

After all, he was still thinking about how to introduce his work progress when he met Chen Fei next time, but he didn't expect to run into him like this.

"Where are you going?" Fade Chen looked at him curiously and asked again, "Is the audition over?"

"Yeah, it's over." Wen Muye quickly handed over the cast list in his hand, "I was just about to look for you. Here's the cast list. Take a look."

"Okay." Fade Chen took it, walked around him and went in.

Seeing this, Wen Muye had no choice but to follow.

The actor who plays the leading male role "Mo Sanmei": Zhu Yilong!
Although I have never worked with this actor Chen Fei, I have heard of him.

He graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy in 06. He had been tepid before and mostly played the third or fourth male lead roles.

But just last June, the fantasy drama "Guardian" was broadcast!

Zhu Yilong plays three roles in the drama: "Shen Wei", "Black Robe Envoy" and "Ye Zun". This is his first time to take on a fantasy drama and also his first web drama.

After the web drama was broadcast, his fans increased by millions within a month, becoming a top traffic star. He also won the "Popular Actor" in the 2018 Film and Television Role Model Annual Rating List for this drama, and won the "Popular Actor Honorary Award" at the 2018 Weibo Movie Night.

After this wave of popularity, he can be considered a late bloomer.

At the same time, he also played a role in the costume romance drama "The Story of Minglan" produced by Noon Sunshine, which also gained extremely high popularity.

With these two benefits, he became completely popular.

Wen Muye then introduced: "This actor was introduced by Zhao Liying. During the first audition, Teacher Tian and I felt that his image and temperament did not match Mo Sanmei, and were even completely opposite to Mo Sanmei's temperament.

But during the second audition, he shaved his head and his temperament changed a lot. He looked great right away. The makeup and pre-shooting went smoothly, so we chose him in the end.”

"Oh? Xiao Zhao introduced you?"

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and continued to look down.

Sure enough, he quickly found Zhao Liying on the list.

In addition to this, there is another old acquaintance - Yan Danchen!

She plays the role of Jianren’s wife in the “Going to Heaven” trio, and her image and temperament are quite suitable for the role.

As for "Wu Xiaowen", the actress who played the leading female role, the name written on the list was "Yang Enyou".

After watching the audition clips of these actors, Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, I can see that you really put your heart into it."

This is obvious to all.

At least Chen Fei had to admit that Wen Muye was really serious about this project!

In order to find a suitable actor, he even pulled Yang Ying over for a round of auditions, which is pretty awesome.

You know, no one in the entire Chinese film and television industry dares to invite Yang Ying anymore. Everyone has already assumed that she can't handle the ratings and box office.

Otherwise, there would be no need for her to play the second female role in the web drama "Skyscraper".

Under such circumstances, Wen Muye actually gave her an audition opportunity, which showed that he respected her very much.

“Hehe.” Wen Muye scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: “This is my first time as a director. I don’t want to disappoint you and the company, so I have to strive for perfection.”

Fade Chen stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Shoot well, this project has a good chance of winning a big award. I'm optimistic about you."

"Yes, Director Chen, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it!"

Wen Muye nodded quickly and responded very seriously.

A few days later, after the contracts with the actors were signed, Feiyue Film and Television’s official Weibo account directly announced the cast list for "Life Events".

"Zhu Yilong, Yang Enyou, Yan Danchen, Zhao Liying... It's Zhao Liying again! She stole my role again!"

At Taiyang Chuanhe, Yang Ying looked at the cast list of "Life Events" published online and could not hide her anger!
Although she only went through one round of auditions and did not even participate in the second round with makeup and the subsequent pre-shooting auditions, she was still very confident that her acting skills were definitely not bad.

The reason why she was not selected must be because Zhao Liying used some means to exclude her!
Just like in the previous "The Story of Minglan", she told the crew that she could bring in money, but was still rejected.

In her opinion, this was also Zhao Liying's doing!

The reason is that she has Feiyue Films to back her up, and has someone to support her and provide resources, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to get high-quality projects so often.

The more Yang Ying thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she even considered changing her agency.

Because of Huayi’s collapse, Taiyang Chuanhe, where she is now, can hardly provide her with any resource assistance.

Although she can get a share of the money as a shareholder, the company's performance has been extremely poor at the moment, and it won't be long before she has no money left.

In this situation, if she continued to stay here, she would undoubtedly look like a fool and would only end up eating up all her savings.

If it were in the past, she might have a chat with Huang Xiaoming after returning home and asked him to help plan her next steps.

But now, since Huang Xiaoming finished his work on "Heroes of Fire", he went to the crew of "Emergency Public Relations" and "fell in love" with Cai Wenjing and Tan Chao.

Apart from introducing her to the second female lead in "Skyscraper", no one paid any attention to her anymore.

When she thought of this, Yang Ying felt uncomfortable.

"Divorce! At worst, just divorce! Leaving him alone will give me more opportunities to find new film and television projects, and sign a contract with a new agency, and create a new world for myself!"

The moment this thought came to mind, it occupied Yang Ying's entire heart, making her immediately eager to act.
