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

Chapter 1278 The upcoming TV drama war!

In the blink of an eye, September has quickly entered the second half of the month.

At 22 a.m. on the 9nd, a notice from China Film Corporation made Guan Hu, who was in the crew of "The Battle at Lake Changjin", angry again.

"The war/historical film "Eight Hundred", directed by Guan Hu and starring Wang Qianyuan, Huang Xiaoming, Jiang Wu, Huang Zhizhong and others, was officially taken off the screen at 12 o'clock last night.

After 30 days of release, the film has grossed 19.03 billion RMB, ranking No. 2 in this year’s summer box office performance rankings.”

More than 7 million yuan was spent in total, and with the support of two film and television companies, Huayi and China Film, the film was finally released in theaters.

But now, the figure of 19 billion has simply labeled all of Guan Hu’s previous efforts as “in vain.”

Fortunately, China Film Group only invested less than 3 million yuan in the follow-up, so the cost was barely recovered.

If Huayi Company was still "alive" and the two Wang brothers were still in the film and television industry, they would probably cry on the spot when faced with this result.

It’s so miserable!
With an investment of 7 million, the box office must be at least 21 billion to barely make a profit.

But what the hell is this 19 billion?

Are you kidding me?

There are already many marketing accounts outside making sarcastic remarks, but there is nothing we can do except turn a blind eye.

"King Kong River must achieve some impressive results. There shouldn't be any big competitors in this Lunar New Year period, right? I don't believe it. Can it always hit a blockbuster? Could it be that Feiyue Film and Television has taken over the entire film market?"

Until now, Guan Hu still thinks that it was the influence of "Boundary Breaker" that caused "Eight Hundred" to become so bleak.

Although this is indeed the case, the media and marketing accounts don’t care about it.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.

Who cares if your failure is due to external factors?
After getting on the bed, I only moved two or three times and suddenly remembered that I forgot to delay the ejaculation. Can I still come out to the bathroom and continue after ejaculating?

Is this a joke?

The cameras nearby are all on. If you really do this, who will dare to use you as the leading male role in the future?
And when the leading actress gets out, won’t everyone in the circle laugh at you?

"Has it been confirmed? Will our film "King Kong River" be released during the Lunar New Year holiday?"

At this moment, Feng Xiaogang's voice suddenly sounded in Guan Hu's ears.

"That's right." Guan Hu explained, "We had thought before that if we could catch up with the National Day, we would launch it in October.

But it was clear that we didn’t have enough time, and if we rushed it, we couldn’t guarantee the quality, so I discussed it with Director Jiao and decided to just release it during the Lunar New Year holiday.”

"Then I have much more time." Feng Xiaogang, who originally felt a little anxious, now felt relieved.

"Yes, but it's better to wrap up in early October if possible. After all, post-production and publicity also take a lot of time."

"I see."

Feng Xiaogang nodded in agreement and continued to work.

In fact, even if Guan Bluff didn't say anything, he would finish the film as quickly as possible and then continue to work on other projects.

You know, he still has debts on his shoulders!

After the flop of “Only Yun Knows”, he became increasingly unpopular in the film market.

If there was not a lack of a suitable director for "The Battle at Lake Changjin", he would probably have to find another way out.

In fact, it is the same now.

After all, the director's fee earned from making movies alone is not enough to pay back such a large sum of money.

Recently, iQiyi has been in contact with his Mela Media, wanting to collaborate with him on a web series...

Falling directly from a film director to a web drama director, the gap is too big for him!
But the other party was very generous and he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Ugh."

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Feng Xiaogang felt.

I don’t know if there is any possibility of turning things around in the second half of my life?
He is already 62 years old this year. His life has experienced a great ups and downs. This feeling is really hard to bear.

At the same time, Chen Kaige joined the 30 billion box office director club with "My Motherland and Me" and after a year's rest, he is finally ready to launch his new film project.

In fact, he had not originally planned to start construction so early, but was planning to open the business after the New Year and wait until the situation stabilized.

But the news that "Life Events" won the Golden Lion Award at the 77th Venice International Film Festival directly stimulated him.

Young directors are catching up one by one and have achieved excellent results.

If he doesn't hurry up and make an effort while he can still move, he might be beaten to the beach by his juniors.

"I'm 68 years old this year, and I can't work anymore. If I don't move more now, I might end up bedridden."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Brother Chen Kai was watching the micro-film "Shuzhen" directed by himself and sighing out loud.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Chen Hong, who was leaning on his arms, patted him and comforted him, "How are you old? You are not old at all. You are still as energetic as when you were young."

"Hahaha."

Brother Chen Kai was in a good mood and couldn't help but touch Chen Hong's waist.

"What the hell are you doing in broad daylight?"

"Hey, what's wrong with daytime? It's not like there's no daytime..."

Before she could finish her flirting, there was a sudden knock on the door of the villa.

"Maybe my son is back." Chen Hong tidied up her messy clothes, stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

The next second, Chen Feiyu, looking exhausted, walked in.

When he saw his mother, he was happy at first.

But the next second, when he saw Brother Chen Kai sitting on the sofa, he quickly put away his smile and became serious.

"Mom, Dad."

After greeting respectfully, Chen Feiyu began to change his shoes and walked in front of his father.

If it were an ordinary family, when his son came home, he could naturally sit wherever he wanted.

But Chen Feiyu didn't do that.

He first called out to his father respectfully, and then he stood aside like a servant waiting to be sent. "Arthur, sit down." Brother Chen Kai said three words calmly.

After hearing this, Chen Feiyu sat down obediently.

"I asked you to come back this time mainly for my new film project. I plan to assign you a very important role in it. What do you think?"

"of course can!"

Chen Feiyu agreed immediately without any hesitation.

The "Daytime Meteor" segment in which he and Liu Haoran starred previously brought him many benefits and blessings, which directly caused his number of Weibo followers to skyrocket, and his popularity, traffic, and popularity also increased significantly.

If I can continue to cooperate with my dad, I believe I can take this opportunity to become popular again.

"Okay." Brother Chen Kai nodded in satisfaction. "Then stay home for dinner tonight. I'll show you the script first so you can familiarize yourself with it. I'll need your help during the audition later."

"Mmm Good."

Chen Feiyu agreed without hesitation.

He often does things like taking backdoors, and what's more, it's his father's project, so he naturally feels at ease and has no shame or embarrassment at all.

Compared to those actors who can easily become winners in life just by relying on their family background, other actors who truly have dreams and pursuits have put in thousands or even tens of thousands times more hard work than them.

For example, Huang Xuan, the actor who played a volunteer soldier in the drama "Changjin Lake".

In order to accurately interpret the role, he conducted in-depth research on a large amount of historical data about the Volunteer Army, personally experienced the arduous military training life, and strived to be close to the real image of the Volunteer Army soldiers in all aspects, from expression to action.

In the real War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the contribution of every volunteer soldier is awe-inspiring.

The sacrifices of many of them may seem insignificant in the grand historical narrative, but the contribution of each individual is great and profound, and has built an indestructible line of defense for the motherland and the people.

These brave and fearless soldiers, with infinite love for the motherland and the people, are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for a better future for the motherland.

In the face of a brutal enemy, differences in status become insignificant, and everyone has the same firm goal in mind.

——For the future stability and peace of the country!
The Chinese people have never been afraid of war, nor do they dread it.

No matter where the invaders come from, it will be like facing jackals, tigers and leopards. What awaits them is surely the thunderous roar and heroic counterattack of the Chinese people.

The Chinese nation's indomitable spirit and determination to defend national sovereignty will always shine brightly and must not be violated!
"Crack!"

As Chen Fei shouted "Pause", Huang Xuan, who had fallen to the ground, was helped up by the staff on the set.

That dusty and dirty look is quite different from the pretty boy image he had when he debuted!
Thinking back, when Chen Fei first met him, it was Jiang Wenli who introduced him.

However, in recent years, there have been no rumors of a relationship between the two, and Huang Xuan has officially transformed from a pretty boy into a powerful actor.

When it comes to acting skills, especially this kind of upright character image, he is undoubtedly the best among the group of male actors born after 85.

This is also one of the reasons why he was able to audition for this rather special role.

His success is indeed a testament to the saying – “After all bitterness comes sweetness”!
…………

At the same time, on the other hand, with Huang Xiaoming's personal intervention, the online remarks that heavily marketed Yang Ying were swept away in an instant as if by a gust of wind and soon disappeared without a trace.

In the entertainment industry, which seems vast but is actually a small world with close interpersonal relationships, Huang Xiaoming's face is still quite useful.

In addition, Yang Ying also received corresponding warnings and no longer dared to use those marketing methods at will, so the heat naturally cooled down and eventually dissipated.

However, the negative impact that the drama "Skyscraper" suffered due to the previous marketing storm will certainly be difficult to completely eliminate in the short term.

Huang Xiaoming also owed a lot of favors because of this.

Repaying these favors would be more difficult and complicated than introducing Yang Ying to star in "Skyscraper"!
However, at this moment, the urban workplace drama "Emergency Public Relations" starring Huang Xiaoming himself unexpectedly announced its launch time.

"The urban love workplace drama "Emergency PR", directed by Hui Kaidong and starring Huang Xiaoming, Cai Wenjing and Tan Kai, has been officially scheduled for January 2021, 1, and will be launched simultaneously on Youku Video and CCTV-16."

The news quickly spread in the film and television industry, attracting widespread attention.

What the entire film and television industry was caught off guard was that the sudden release date of "Emergency Public Relations" was like a domino effect, and it actually brought about the release date news of a large number of new dramas!
"The historical drama "Shangyang Fu", directed by Hou Yong and starring many powerful actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Yiwei, and Yu Hewei, will be exclusively broadcast on the Youku platform on January 2021, 1."

With its luxurious cast and Zhang Ziyi's "female lead" marketing, "Shangyang Fu" attracted countless attention as soon as it was officially announced.

Immediately afterwards, "Criminal Police Overseas Operation" also officially announced that it will be launched on the iQiyi platform on January 2021, 1.

This criminal investigation drama has also aroused the audience's expectations with its thrilling plot and unique overseas background.

In less than half a day, the official announcement was made that "The Legend of Fei" will be jointly broadcast on Youku and Mango TV on January 2021, 1.

Following closely behind are a series of TV series and web series such as "Youth", "Warm Holiday", "Spirit Realm", "I Am Such a Girl", and "Mountains and Seas", which also took advantage of the opportunity to officially announce their release dates.

Without exception, these dramas are all released in January!

Looking at the sudden large number of official announcements of TV series and web series, Zhang Ziyi was completely stunned.

"What's going on? Is this a prank for TV dramas? Why are there so many new dramas that were released in January?"

Upon hearing this, the agent at the side quickly explained: "Sister Ziyi, this is actually very normal. After all, the release of new TV series also depends on the cycle and market rules.

January happens to include important holidays such as New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. During these holidays, viewers have more free time to stay at home, and the frequency of watching TV naturally increases significantly.

At the same time, in order to attract viewers’ attention and obtain higher ratings and traffic, TV stations and video platforms will naturally carefully arrange a large number of new dramas to be broadcasted, so as to meet the audience’s strong entertainment needs during the festival.”

After hearing this explanation, Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a while, then murmured, "It seems that we have quite a few competitors this time!"

Although she said this, there was a gleam in her eyes, and a long-lost excitement welled up in her heart.

At this moment, time seemed to go back, and she seemed to have returned to the era of fierce competition, challenges and opportunities 10 years ago.

For a moment, she was filled with fighting spirit.

"Then come on and see who will come out on top in this 'big fight' in January!"

The currently recognized situation in the industry is that as long as Feiyue Film and Television does not get involved, then everyone can naturally start a big melee with confidence.

Even if they meet Zhang Ziyi and Huang Xiaoming, no one will be afraid.

The former is returning to the field of TV dramas for the first time, and she plays the leading female role. It is unknown whether she will be successful.

As for Huang Xiaoming, everyone has already assumed that this is yet another greasy urban drama about a domineering CEO.

After all, this guy likes to use novel methods to "reward himself" after success, and this has long been spread in the circle.
