Chapter 1243 A blessing in disguise?
"Zhou Dongyu's fighting ability is really strong!"

A week has passed quickly and it is already November 11th.

The auditions for the main roles of "Changjin Lake" have ended, and the subsequent auditions for supporting roles will be conducted by Kang Honglei and Guo Fan, each with two casting directors.

Chen Fei stopped the audition and started preparing for other things.

When I logged onto Weibo in my spare time, I saw that the fight between Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoqi was still going on!
The latter was undoubtedly beaten particularly badly, and negative information about him was flying all over the Internet.

And it wasn't just her own dark material, but also a lot of dark material about her home dance studio were all dug out and exposed on the Internet.

In 2012, his parents' dance school caused a 7-year-old girl to become paralyzed for life due to improper bending during training. The court ruled that Liu Hao's parents were 70% responsible and ordered them to pay more than one million yuan in compensation.

Liu Haoqi's parents' appeal was rejected, but it was not until the end of 2018, six years later, after the court's enforcement, that the girl's family received compensation...

When this scandal was exposed, Liu Hao was in big trouble!

Although she didn't do it, but a school teacher did it, the media and marketing accounts didn't care and just spread all kinds of rumors.

For a moment, netizens were completely misled and bombarded her with insults.

"Like mother, like daughter. This family is probably not up to any good."

"She's a girl who made so much money, but you still have to delay paying her 100 million yuan in compensation for 6 years. You are so shameless!"

"I suggest that Liu Haoqi should also be classified as a bad artist. Such a person is not worthy of being an actor. He has lost his artistic ethics."

"This kind of actress is not worthy of being paired with my brother!"

"Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be punished with evil. God is watching what you do. Your family will be punished for treating that little girl like this one day!"

Chen Fei picked out a few comments and found them very irritating.

Many people just want to criticize for the sake of criticizing, without caring about anything else and just start cursing.

But in fact, the result is written on the Chinese ruling document online.

After the little girl was injured in 2012, treatment was immediately started. During this period, Liu Hao's parents paid about 12 yuan for hospitalization and outpatient fees, and did not delay treatment and miss the best time.

After it was confirmed in 2014 that the disease was incurable, the girl's family appealed, demanding compensation for various losses and 70% of the subsequent care, about 114 million yuan, and demanded payment within 15 days.

Then a second trial is held when both parties are dissatisfied with the trial results.

The defendant, Liu Haoqi's parents, believed that the hospital did not give any medical advice on strengthening nutrition, so they refused to pay the nutrition fee, and that the distribution ratio was inappropriate, but their claim was ultimately rejected.

The case was closed in 2018 after Liu Haoqi received the salary for "One Second" and paid the compensation in one lump sum. It was not as the marketing account said that he took the money because he was afraid of affecting his debut.

These are actually clearly written in the ruling documents online, but they have been completely distorted by marketing accounts.

This shows that the PR team behind Zhou Dongyu is really strong, and they are very good at spreading rumors and slandering people.

Chen Fei was not clear about the specific right and wrong of both parties.

But he knows that the pressure that this "Mou Girl" will have to bear next is probably extremely great!
If we can hold on in the face of such overwhelming smearing, we will definitely achieve something in the future.

But if she can't hold on, her star journey might be over.

After all, this black traffic is not so delicious!
~

"Our marketing, including your popularity, cannot compete with Zhou Dongyu's, but this incident has also brought you a lot of popularity and traffic. It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity next."

Listening to Zhang Mo's words on the phone, Liu Hao, who was in the hotel, wiped away tears and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Sister Mo, I understand."

A girl who is not even 20 years old was suddenly subjected to severe abuse from the entire Internet. No one could bear it.

Liu Haoqi was actually strong enough. She just cried for a while, and then she had ideas and plans for what to do next.

"Since I will be scolded no matter what I do, it also means that no matter what I do, people will pay attention to me. So I just need to show my acting skills and I can get rid of the scolding step by step! Prove myself! Even turn these haters into my fans!"

Thinking of this, she subconsciously clenched her hands into fists, her eyes full of expectation and determination for the future.

She firmly believes that where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you work hard, no difficulty is insurmountable.

What’s more, the most important thing for an actor is his acting skills. As long as his acting skills are good enough, nothing else will be a problem.

Liu Haoqi is still very confident about this, because Zhang Yimou really said that she is very talented.

"call!"

After letting out a long sigh, Liu Haoqi picked up the script of "Send You a Little Red Flower" that was placed on the bed and studied and recited it carefully.

This movie will start shooting at the end of the year, so we must be well prepared.

As for everything in the outside world, she has decided not to pay attention to it anymore.

……

On November 11, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Midway" and "The Beneficiary" starring Da Peng and Liu Yan were officially launched.

Along with these two films, there are also eight domestic films released in theaters.

At the same time, the news that the total box office of "Better Days" exceeded the 10 billion mark began to spread everywhere.

Major cinema chains have once again increased the screening schedule for this film.

Under such circumstances, "My Country, My Parents", which was originally in the key extension stage, officially ended with a box office of 31.2 billion yuan.

Brother Chen Kai attended the movie celebration party and was so happy.

When Chen Fei arrived, he happened to see him holding up his glass and clinking glasses with a leader from the publicity department, with all the wrinkles on his face wrinkled together from smiling.

"Brother Chen Kai can finally be proud of himself this time." Kang Honglei, who came with Chen Fei, said in a low voice.

Although there are many controversies about the "Daytime Meteor" unit, it is undeniable that the great poet Chen is the chief director of "My Motherland and Me".

In other words, the movie’s box office success is inseparable from his efforts.

No matter how the outside world judges, the box office result of 31.7 billion should be attributed to him.

Although the box office record of domestic films has already been broken to nearly 70 billion, the quality of films that can break the 30 billion box office is still very high.

After all, many directors and producers are still working towards the 10 billion goal.

"Director Chen, Director Kang, hahahaha, welcome to our website."

After seeing Chen Fei and Kang Honglei, Brother Chen Kai immediately came over and acted like a host.

Although the investors are Huaying, Bona and Alibaba, today he labeled himself as the "master".

Everyone actually gave him face. After all, he had a very high status in the circle. Most people could not compare to him in terms of seniority and qualifications.

"Haha, congratulations..."

Chen Fei shook hands with Brother Chen Kai and said a few words of approval but without any flattery.

Even so, Chen Kai's face was full of joy, and his expression was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"This is my son, Chen Feiyu."

Old Chen called his son over and introduced him to Chen Fei.

"Well, I have met Feiyu several times."

Chen Fei said with a smile, looking at Chen Feiyu with a scrutinizing look.

Chen Feiyu also auditioned for the role of Wu Wanli, but was rejected because his acting was so bad.

Kang Honglei even frowned and complained: "Why is Director Kai's son only at this level?"

This one sentence made Chen Feiyu blush with embarrassment.

So much so that after meeting today, he didn't dare to look Chen Fei and Kang Honglei in the eye.

There was also Guan Hu, who was not far away. He had already shrunk to the edge of the crowd, fearing that Chen Fei would go and cause trouble for him if he was unhappy!
There were quite a lot of familiar faces at the celebration party, and Chen Fei even greeted Yu Dong and Fan Luyuan.

Although everyone is in a competitive relationship with each other, and even said behind each other's back that they wish they could kill each other, they still maintain their own composure in such situations.

Half an hour later, the celebration banquet officially began.

"Crack!"

As the ice block with the words 31.2 billion on it was smashed by Brother Chen Kai with a small hammer, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet reached its climax.

What many people didn’t expect was that after smashing the ice, Lao Chen did not leave the stage. Instead, he took the hands of Chen Feiyu and Liu Haoran, the "Daytime Meteor" brothers, and announced something that made the whole audience excited!
"After the end of "My Motherland and I", I will return to realistic themes again. Feiyu and Haoran will work with me again to shoot a new film..."

boom--

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was immediately shocked, and there was a lot of heated discussion. "Is he going to win the prize again?"

Kang Honglei's voice rang in Chen Fei's ears.

Chen Fei nodded slightly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."

As we all know, it has always been Chen Kai's dream to recreate the glory of "Farewell My Concubine".

Unfortunately, he made many art films and reality-themed movies later, but he was never able to achieve his original glory.

Now that "My Country, My Parents" has achieved great "success", he obviously can't help but want to win an award.

However, in Chen Fei's memory, it seemed that Lao Chen had not achieved this goal until 7, seven years later.

The most important thing is that he didn't even remember Brother Chen Kai making an art film, so this movie probably didn't get released in the end.

So, what exactly happened during this period?

……

"At 7 o'clock last night, the celebration dinner for My Motherland and I was officially held at the Capital State Guesthouse. The scene was star-studded, with many well-known directors, actors, producers and others in the industry attending."

"Director Chen Kai revealed his next plan at the celebration banquet. He will lead his son Chen Feiyu and actor Liu Haoran to make another realistic film!"

"This morning, the action/fantasy/animation film "New Gods: Nezha Reborn", jointly produced by Light Chaser Animation and Alibaba Pictures and directed by Zhao Qi, officially started production."

"Feiyue Films, together with Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, and Bayi Film Group, officially announced the cast list for the main theme movie "Changjin Lake".

Actors Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Peng Yuchang, Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xuan, Tang Qiqiang, Zhao Jinmai and others will jointly interpret the story of the soldiers of the 20th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army annihilating the US Army in the 50s. "

Hot searches continued throughout the morning!

Chen Kaige returns to realistic themes, Alibaba Pictures announces "New Gods: Nezha Reborn", "Changjin Lake" officially completes casting...

The emergence of so much news directly triggered hot searches!
"Is Alibaba Pictures trying to take advantage of the popularity of 'Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World'?" Guo Fan asked this question directly when he met Chen Fei.

"That should be the case." Chen Fei hadn't hung up the phone yet.

At this time, Wang Changtian on the other end of the phone was talking incessantly, “When they announced New Gods: Yang Jian, I knew they were going to make a big splash.

But I didn’t expect that they would also target the IP of ‘Nezha’, obviously trying to take advantage of the popularity and attract traffic…”

Chen Fei actually didn't have much thought about this.

After all, Alibaba Pictures has always been playing with their "big data" set. Now they have chosen to make "New Gods: Nezha Reborn", which should also be the result of big data analysis.

This is unavoidable. After all, Nezha is a wide-area IP and anyone can use it.

Chen Fei has no control over what Alibaba Pictures does.

But then again, it’s not that easy to ride on the popularity.

If the quality of "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" is good enough, then everything will be fine.

But if it is badly made or ruined, then Alibaba and Light Chaser Animation will be in trouble.
Nezha’s fans will let them know what the price of doing so is!
At the same time, many people in the industry were focusing on the final cast list for "Changjin Lake".

"Ugh!"

In the dressing room of the "Emergency PR" crew, Huang Xiaoming sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't get the leading male role, he should have no problem getting the second or third leading roles.

But I never expected that I wouldn’t even get second or third place, and I didn’t even have the chance to play a guest role!

This is very depressing.

In the summer blockbuster "The Bravest", his role as the leading male star was recognized by many fans and netizens, and his reputation score was extremely high.

But why does he always feel that this movie has very little effect on him?
"Xiao Ming."

The dressing room door was suddenly pushed open.

Huang Xiaoming turned his head and saw his agent appear at the door with an excited expression on his face.

He couldn't help but feel curious, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The agent said excitedly: "I passed the audition for 'King Kong River'. Director Guan Hu called me personally and said that he can confirm that you will play the role of 'Zhang Fei'."

"Male No. 1?"

"That's right, the first role! The second male lead 'Guan Lei' was played by Li Chen, who is not as famous as you, so he is the second role."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming couldn't hide his excitement and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

There is a saying: A blessing in disguise~
He couldn't even get the second or third leading role in "Changjin Lake", but when he came to "King Kong River", he directly became the No. 1 male role!
Comparing the two, "King Kong River" is naturally more suitable.

"According to the previously agreed-upon salary, try to sign the contract first to prevent any further complications."

"Okay, I got it." The agent took out his cell phone and started contacting the legal department.

"Did they say when the filming will start?" Huang Xiaoming asked again. He was afraid that the schedule of "Emergency PR" would overlap with that one.

Although it is okay to do multiple roles, it is better not to do too much. He still has professional ethics.

"It's early. I asked. It's probably by the end of the year. The preparation period for this kind of mainstream film is very long."

"Well, that's fine."

Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again.

If he remembered correctly, "Changjin Lake" seemed to start filming at the end of the year?
These two movies won’t collide, right?

……

"No rush, we can start the machine after the New Year."

On the "Changjin Lake" project team side, Chen Fei arranged the follow-up work with Kang Honglei, Guo Fan, as well as the art director, director of photography, action director, visual effects director and others.

“In the next month or so, we need to complete all the preliminary preparations to ensure that there will be no problems after the start of filming.

The extras can wait until after the Chinese New Year to start. I plan to shoot for 3 to 4 months, and the editing and post-production work will take another two months. It will definitely be released in time for the National Day next year..."

Chen Fei still clearly remembers how difficult the filming of "Changjin Lake" was in the original time and space!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of creative staff and foreign actors in the crew were forced to stay in the crew, and many foreign actors even faced the dilemma of visa expiration.

Affected by this, the crew suffered huge losses during the period of suspended filming!

And this time, Chen Fei naturally had to prepare in advance.

Rather than replaying that dramatic situation, it would be better to postpone the filming and wait until after the new year.

If we can take pictures at that time, then we will go.

But if you can’t shoot, just stay at home and save yourself from wasting resources and manpower.

Of course, preparations must proceed as scheduled. At least all preparations must be completed before filming starts.

"Okay, let's get busy! Let's finish all the preparations as soon as possible, so that we can go home early for the New Year holiday."

It is already mid-November, and it is indeed not long before the Chinese New Year.

As the old saying goes, whether you have money or not, you should go home to celebrate the New Year. This is a tradition deeply rooted in the Chinese people.

Therefore, the temptation to go home early for the holiday is still quite attractive to everyone!
After everyone left, Fade Chen left work early.

We are going to have dumplings at home tonight, and Liu Yifei specifically called him to tell him to go home early.

How dare I disobey my wife’s call?
At the same time, on the other side, in Jingxi Culture Company, a violent conflict broke out between Song Ge and Vice Chairman Lou Xiaoxi!

The two had previously jointly established a company and used the method of capital repatriation to forge the contract payment flow, and ultimately recognized 4.59 million yuan of funds as Jingxi Culture's annual business income.

Through this operation, the two of them made a fortune!
But yesterday, Lou Xiaoxi went to the company to check the accounts on a whim and found that Song Ge actually got two percentage points more in profit than her.

Unequal distribution of spoils is always the reason that causes partnerships to fall apart, let alone the division of hundreds of millions of dollars.

So Lou Xiaoxi went straight to the company and asked Song Ge why he did this.

Of course, Song Ge would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Although he did do that, if he admits it now, won't he have to take out the money that has already gone into his pocket?

For a moment, the two of them started swearing at each other in the office, and the argument became more and more intense!
