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

Chapter 1265 A new round of mainstream movies explodes! Is another movie that blocks the door to science fiction coming?

"This morning, it was jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Xiying, Shanghai Film, Bayi, etc., and co-directed by Chen Fei, Guo Fan, and Kang Honglei.

The main theme commercial blockbuster "Changjin Lake" starring Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Peng Yuchang, Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Huang Xuan and others has officially started filming in the Hanshan Lake area of ​​Tiantai, Zhejiang! "

"Zhang Ruoyun Studio and Feiyue Film and Television jointly announced that he will officially join the costume/martial arts drama "Snow Swordsman" and play the role of Xu Fengnian."

"The official Weibo of the costume/comedy drama "The Son-in-Law" announced the casting today: actors Guo Qilin and Song Yi will play 'Ning Yi' and 'Su Tan'er' respectively, telling the story of 'a small son-in-law and a big world'. Please look forward to the wonderful performances of the two actors."

As we are about to enter July, many netizens think that there will be no hot news in the next few days.

Many people are planning to quit the Internet and study online courses for a few days, and then wait until the summer vacation in July to surf the Internet again and have a good time.

But what no one expected was that Feiyue Films issued three announcements in a row, which directly boosted the heat that had cooled down due to the finale of "The Bad Kids"!

For a time, heated discussions arose:

"It's a pity. Because of the epidemic, I haven't been to the cinema to watch movies this year."

"I was thinking that I could go and watch The Battle at Lake Changjin during the National Day holiday this year. Director Chen's theme song is absolutely brilliant, but now it seems that I won't be able to watch it during the National Day holiday."

“Will Zhang Ruoyun be allowed to play Xu Fengnian in The Snowy Swordsman? It’s okay for him to play the role, but the other roles need to be chosen carefully!”

"I strongly recommend Li Yitong, Meng Ziyi, Zhou Ye and other female stars born in the 90s and 00s. We should use more young actors."

"No? Dalin? What are you doing? Last year you and Song Yi played brother and sister, so why are you playing husband and wife with your sister this year? What's going on?"

"Guo Qilin, you brought money into the group, didn't you? Did you sell Deyun Club? Tell me now!"

No one thought Guo Qilin’s acting was bad, but they found it hard to accept that he played the male lead.

After all, this guy’s previous character was a “funny guy”, and he also played the silly roe deer “Fan Sizhe” in “Joy of Life”.

Only half a year has passed, and he has evolved from "Fan Sizhe" to "Ning Yi". Isn't this gap too big?

As for this matter, Chen Fei has a say.

Because when he was looking at the casting list for "The Son-in-Law", he also received an audition clip of Guo Qilin from Jiang Xueruo.

Let’s not talk about his acting skills for now, just looking at his dialogue skills, this kid is definitely a leader among his peers!
He has been performing crosstalk and practicing his eloquence for many years. Although he has not taken any professional acting classes, he recites the lines vividly and accurately.

Just based on this point, he is a hundred times stronger than Wang Yibao, Xiao Zhan and the like!
So after discussion, he was finally chosen as the leading male role.

Chen Fei had no objection, but just reminded that the casting of "Snow Swordsman" must be cautious.

In addition, there is filming and production, and it is imperative to capture the "chivalrous spirit" described in the original book.

And the most crucial fighting scenes are the essence of martial arts dramas!

After listening to his request, Jiang Xueruo jokingly said that he would invite Xu Ke to be the producer.

She had just said it casually, but she had never expected that after listening to it, Fade Chen nodded seriously and said, "You can go ahead and hire him. It's okay to pay a little more for the labor fee. Director Xu's attainments in martial arts are unmatched by other directors."

So, when the casting work for "The Son-in-Law" came to a temporary end, Jiang Xueruo personally led the team and went straight to Hong Kong that night!
Since Chen Fei said it was feasible, she would naturally not be vague.

Isn't it Xu Ke? She has invited him!
……

"Have you ever skipped a ball?"

"Fighted!"

"Then smash it. Aim at the deck of the ship and smash it hard. Just show the mischievous attitude you had when you were a child."

"Will it hit Brother Jing..."

"It's okay. He's thick-skinned and strong, so he won't be hurt even if he gets hit by two stones. He gets injured every time he shoots a movie anyway."

On the set of the movie "Changjin Lake", Chen Fei is explaining the scene to Peng Yuchang.

That’s right. Their conversation made Wu Jing, who was sitting next to them, twitch his lips.

Hearing the end, he couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but say, "No, Director Chen? You can't treat me like a Japanese! It would hurt if you hit me!"

Chen Fei glanced back at him after hearing this, and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, I believe you can handle it."

Wu Jing: "..."

Of course, although he said so, Peng Yuchang was not a fool and he certainly would not really hit Wu Jing on the head.

"Don't worry, Brother Jing. My eyesight is pretty good. I'll try my best to throw it into the cabin and try not to hit you on the head."

"Thank you for your hard work, bro!"

Wu Jing held his hand, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes.

He doesn't want to be disfigured right at the start of filming. Although he is no longer a young and handsome guy, he still has quite a few fans who like his looks.

After all, he is "Wolf Warrior", and his tough facial lines are quite popular among some female fans.

"Director Chen, the boat is here."

"Ok, Wu Jing, hurry up and get on board and get ready to start the machine."

"Okay, let's go."

After a few simple conversations, Wu Jing sat on the boat, holding the urn of "Wu Baili", and began to brew his emotions.

Before filming started, the crew was full of laughter and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

But when the camera was officially turned on, a serious and tense atmosphere suddenly filled the entire set.

The main creators and crew members all hold a sense of awe and strive to restore the true history with the goal of letting the audience experience the reality of war.

Who can laugh in this kind of atmosphere?
"Crack!"

Following the loud sound of glass being shattered, the calm surface of the lake was suddenly filled with noise.

"Wu Wanli! You little beheader! I'll let your father deal with you later!"

The boatman roared angrily, and the name he called out made Wu Jing turn his head in surprise, and he looked towards the shore with a bit of surprise and uncertainty.

"Liu Shaozi, I'm going to throw this stone at you just because you told my father about me."

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter of playmates, the cries of startled crows, and the angry curses of the boatman rang out together, completely breaking the silence of the village and also ushering in a brutal battle.

Wu Qianli returned home and brought back the news of his eldest brother's death, but at the same time he also took back his allowance as a company commander, and said he would build a house for the family and find a wife for the third brother.

When the old couple heard that there was no more war, they finally recovered from the news of their eldest son's death.

The third brother was confused and didn't know what death was, but when he heard that his second brother was going to find him a wife, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But before Wu Qianli could calm down, a roar suddenly exploded in the night!

"An order from the Ninth Corps Headquarters. Everyone, please take note! Who is Wu Qianli?"

"To!"

"There is an emergency. Stop visiting your family and return to the team at daybreak."

"Yes!"

"I'll be back in the beginning of spring and build you a house."

Wu Qianli gave his promise, packed his bag, and got on the boat.

Wu Wanli was stupid and didn't know anything, but he wanted to go with his brother.

"Eldest brother said that we have fought all the battles we have to fight and won't let you fight."

Wu Qianli had a smile on his face and pushed his brother onto the boat steadily with both hands.

The moment he turned around, his eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had already seen the smoke-filled front line.

He didn't know what he would encounter on this trip, or whether he would live or die.

But there was an idea that burned in his chest like a flame that would never go out - the invaders must be driven out of their home so that his brother and parents could live in peace in this peaceful land!
……

In a blink of an eye, time has officially entered July.

More than 10 cinemas are still closed, and more than one million filmmakers are anxiously waiting for news.

Many people are waiting for theatres to open so that they can release films as soon as possible to recoup their costs.

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​second- and third-rate film and television production companies.

The truly first-class film and television companies, with sufficient cash flow support, have already begun producing projects.

State-owned enterprises in particular responded to the call and took the lead in charging into battle with strong capital flows and political demands.

"This morning, jointly produced by Tencent Film, Shanghai Film Group, China Film Group, Huaying Film Group, and Dayou Film and Television Center of the Central Party School, directed by Huang Jianxin, starring Huang Xuan, Ni Ni, Wang Renjun, Liu Haoran, Zhang Songwen, Chen Kun, and Li Chen.

The film "100", a tribute to the 1921th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, held its opening ceremony at the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai.

When this news was announced on the special day of July 7, it undoubtedly added a wave of popularity to the three words "main theme".

The only thing that made Chen Fei curious was how Tencent Pictures got involved in this kind of project?

After a little inquiry, he found out that Tencent Pictures had come up with a "six major cultural product series" at some point, and "Melody of the Times" was ranked first.

This "1921" is their flagship work to enhance their brand image and influence.

I have to say, this is very interesting.

"Finally you can't sit still anymore. Do you want to make a living by working in mainstream genres?"

Fade Chen smiled softly, and was quite impressed by the entry time chosen by Tencent Pictures.

It just so happens that because of the epidemic, the film and television industry is in a slump.

Tencent Pictures' participation in the production of "1921" will help boost industry confidence, contribute to industry recovery, and also gain support from higher authorities.

To sum up, it is the best of all worlds.

But at this moment, a memory suddenly emerged in Chen Fei's mind.

He vaguely remembered that a few years later, there seemed to be a mentally unstable female star who even mispronounced the number "1921" in a video.

The work I shot was from that era, so it's really rare for me to get the time wrong.

From this we can see that cultural workers really cannot be without culture, otherwise they will be embarrassed and exposed online!

……

Perhaps because of the announcement of the start of filming of the two main theme movies "Changjin Lake" and "1921", more and more main theme projects followed in the next few days. "It is jointly produced by China Film, Jingxi Culture, and Zhang Yimou Studio, with Zhang Yimou as the chief director, and co-directed by Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Deng Chao, Yu Baimei, and Chen Sicheng.

The main theme/comedy film "My Hometown and Me", starring Ge You, Huang Bo, Fan Wei, Deng Chao, Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, Yan Ni, Ma Li and others, officially started shooting at the Huairou Film and Television Base today."

"The war-themed movie "King Kong River", directed by Guan Hu, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yibai, and starring Huang Xiaoming, Li Chen, Li Jiuxiao, Wei Chen, Ou Hao and others, has officially started shooting in Baicaidi Village, Jiguanshan Town, Fengcheng City, LN Province."

"The official website of the 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival announced that it will continue to be postponed until the end of July..."

As pieces of news were revealed one after another, it immediately caused a stir in the circle.

Wang Changtian called impatiently: "Is the cinema going to reopen?"

Chen Fei knew why he asked this.

The start time of the Shanghai International Film Festival has been confirmed, which naturally means that cinemas will be opening soon.

After all, if the cinemas can’t open, the film festival can’t be held!

Just like the previous Capital International Film Festival, it was directly announced that it would be postponed for one year, completely cutting off the possibility of holding it this year.

It happened to be the time when the epidemic was at its most serious, so no one was too surprised by this situation.

But now it’s different!

"Yes, I have received news of the meeting. It should be about time. It will be officially open from the summer vacation, so that the film market can be activated quickly. Otherwise, those small companies will really be "dead."

Wang Changtian couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, this reshuffle is really too cruel. I don't know how many people will be in debt because of it."

"It's actually quite good. At least some of the termites have been washed out. The market should be able to develop healthier in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and when the on-site executive director came over, Chen Fei was ready to hang up the phone.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. I have to continue filming."

Wang Changtian was slightly stunned: "Ah? Didn't you say you were going to a meeting?"

"Huo Qigang and Su Guohai will go. I'm thousands of miles away from the capital. How can I have the time to rush back?"

"Yeah, then you go ahead and do your work."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Changtian lay down in the chair and began to think about what the next step for Guangxian should be.

If cinemas are to be completely reopened, there will definitely be a buffer period.

It is too risky to schedule a movie and release it in theaters at this time.

So, we still have to continue to hold on for a while.

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Wang Changtian's thoughts.

"come in."

Just as he finished speaking, the vice president of Guangxian Investment Department pushed the door open and walked in with a very interesting expression on his face.

"What happened?" Wang Changtian sat up straight and asked curiously.

"Boss Wang, someone has come to our Guangguang to solicit investment."

"Who?"

"Lu Chuan."

"who!"

"Lu Chuan!"

Hearing this name, Wang Changtian was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

"Haha? This guy Lu Chuan is going to be a director again? Why is he going to Guangguang to solicit investment?"

"No." The vice president of the investment department explained with a bit of a smile: "His movie has already been shot, but now he has no money for post-production, so he came to solicit investment."

Already filmed?

Wang Changtian was a little confused. Why hadn’t he heard about when Lu Chuan made a movie?
"It seems that Jingxi Culture invested in it, and the entire filming process was kept secret. If they didn't have the money for post-production, I guess they wouldn't have spread the news."

Wang Changtian was naturally clear about the situation at Jingxi Culture.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission has been in office for more than a month, but no news has come out yet. It is obvious that someone is deliberately suppressing the heat.

But no matter how much we try to suppress the heat, we can't hide it from the shareholders.

Look, from April to now, the stock price has fallen by half, and it is still falling.

Under such circumstances, the financial pressure within the company is bound to be considerable.

Without any hesitation, Song Ge devoted all his energy to the two projects, "The Three Kingdoms of Gods" and "My Hometown and Me".

As for Lu Chuan's "Game 749", it is undoubtedly being treated as a discarded pawn at the moment.

"Let me take a look at the project book. What new work has he produced?" Wang Changtian was quite interested.

Lu Tailang has been suppressed for so many years, and many people in the circle thought that he had changed his career a long time ago. Unexpectedly, this guy secretly came up with a new project.

"It's called '749 Bureau', and it's mainly about science fiction, action, and adventure."

"Haha, he's playing with science fiction? Don't make another movie like "Fortress of Devil City"."

As he was talking, Wang Changtian had already taken the project book and started flipping through it.

In the near future of 2030, the city is facing an unprecedented crisis due to the emergence of unknown mysterious creatures, and a secret plan that has been hidden for many years has also surfaced.

Ma Shan, a young man with Winged Clan blood, is brought into Bureau 749, which specializes in studying supernatural phenomena and people with superpowers.

He and the soldiers of the third team of the 749th Bureau, under the leadership of Uncle Wei and others, used high-tech equipment to respond to the disaster.

Ma Shan initially longed for an ordinary life and refused to join Bureau 749. However, when monsters invaded and the city was in danger, Bureau 749 became the only hope. Under the influence of his teammates, he activated his superpowers and completed his own growth and redemption in the adventure through many dangers. Together with his teammates, he saved the city...

The more Wang Changtian looked at it, the weirder it felt.

Why is the plot direction similar to "The Fortress of Devil City"?
On the contrary, those mysterious ghosts and monsters seem to be quite interesting.

Closing the project book, Wang Changtian asked curiously, "How much does Lu Chuan want?"

"It is said that another 5000 million is needed to complete the post-production."

"Get him out of here right now! Get him as far away as possible!"

Wang Changtian's face was suddenly filled with black lines.

5000 million is a fucking huge amount. Isn’t that an exorbitant amount?
With his own strength, is he worthy of asking for 5000 million from Guangguang? He is just robbing money!

"He himself didn't come, but someone from his company came..."

"Send him away quickly and let him beg for food somewhere else." Wang Changtian waved his hand without even thinking of meeting the other party.

This guy Lu Chuan has no credibility to begin with. From his debut in the film industry until now, almost every movie he made has failed, and none of them has ever made a profit.

Now they have this weird "Game 749" and the starting price is 5000 million, and that’s for post-production.

Isn't this funny?
This fun can't be enjoyed alone.

Wang Changtian's eyes rolled, and he immediately picked up his phone and sent a message to Fade Chen.

Night falls quickly.

When Chen Fei finished today's filming and took the phone back from his assistant, he laughed out loud when he saw the text message from Wang Changtian.

"Haha, Bureau 749? Isn't this the Shanghai Fortress 2?"

His muttering happened to be heard by Wu Jing.

The latter asked in shock, "What? Shanghai Fortress has a second season? Is this going to completely block the door to science fiction?"

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at him, then laughed and said, "Yes, he should be heading for The Wandering Earth 2."

"What the hell! Do you have any shame..."

Wu Jing burst into cursing on the spot, he was so depressed that he couldn't even express it in words.

He is also looking forward to "The Wandering Earth 2" to break the box office record of Chinese-language films again. If another disgusting movie appears at the same time, it would be too bad!
Chen Fei: Do you know more about “Half Pool Green”?
……

Jingxi Culture's funding chain is suspected to be seriously broken, and Lu Chuan's latest science fiction masterpiece "749 Bureau" urgently needs funds for post-production...

The film and television industry is not small, but it is not big either.

Once a piece of information is known by a second company or a third party who has not signed a confidentiality agreement, the secret is no longer a secret.

In addition to Feiyue Film and Television, many first-tier and second-tier film and television production companies received Lu Chuan's message for help, the project book of "749 Bureau", and some completed film shots almost at the same time.

After all, the goal was to attract investment, so Lu Chuan put in a lot of effort.

At least this less than 3-minute footage used to attract investment is quite impressive.

It’s a pity that no one is a fool.

If we give him an investment of 5000 million, it is very likely that it will be a waste of money and there will be no return. Who dares to bet?
"Send him away. Bona is not interested."

Yu Dong waved his hand towards the secretary, showing no interest at all.

He is now worried about Bona's listing. Where will he get the money to let Lu Chuan squander?
At the same time, Jiao Hongfen also said to his secretary: "China Film Group has no interest in science fiction. Let him find another way."

The movie "The Fortress" directly forced La Peikang to abdicate. How could he possibly touch this taboo subject again?
Isn't the main theme good? Why bother watching a sci-fi movie that you are not familiar with?
"Shangying is not interested, let him go."

"We at Alibaba can't even finish our own projects, so where do we get the spare money to invest in him? Let him go quickly. The market doesn't welcome him, so who would be willing to invest in him?"

The replies from Ren Zhonglun and Fan Luyuan reached Lu Chuan's ears almost one after another, which made him feel even more desperate.

Is it true that this work that I have spent eight years working on is so unpopular?

He has put in so much effort and even spent a huge sum of money to invite Wang Junkai to be the leading actor. Isn't that enough to make other companies excited?
Traffic star!
One of the four most popular and three most popular top stars now!
"Jingle Bell--"

The sudden ringing of the phone pulled Lu Chuan out of despair.

After glancing at the caller ID, he casually pressed the answer button and answered, "Hello?"

The next second, the secretary's excited voice suddenly came over the phone: "Mr. Lu! Good news! Tencent Pictures said they are very interested in our film "749 Bureau" and want to meet with you to talk."

"Hahaha, okay, let them wait for me, I'll be there now!"

It was a rare "life-saving straw" that Lu Chuan couldn't wait to grab it and was unwilling to let go!
