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

Chapter 1293: The ambition in my heart is even greater!

The entrance of the villa.

Watching Han Jianu driving away slowly, Chen Fei's expression was inexplicably complicated.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Liu Yifei in surprise and asked curiously: "So, you already know?"

"What?" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, not yet reacting to what he was saying.

"Han Jianu and Wen Muye, are these two dating?"

"Pfft." Liu Yifei suddenly couldn't help laughing. She nodded first, but then shook her head. "We're probably not in a relationship yet. We're still in contact."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just a simple man and woman who like each other and are in contact, maybe they just need that finishing touch."

"Oh!"

Chen Fei showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

But soon, he sighed again: "Wen Muye usually looks sullen and doesn't talk much, but I didn't expect that he is so capable that he could actually trap this girl."

"You are wrong, he just doesn't talk much in front of you, but he is not like this in front of beautiful women."

"How to say?"

"He gave the Golden Lion to the beautiful lady."

"Cattle!"

Chen Fei didn't care too much about what happened between the two of them in private.

After all, they are in their thirties, the right age to fall in love and get married.

I guess Han Sanping has urged Han Jianu a lot...

And these two people are quite a good match.

They are both directors and have been working together since "Dying to Survive".

Then in several subsequent projects, Wen Muye has been assisting Han Jianuo and serving as assistant director.

After all this time, it's normal to develop feelings for each other.

If it was said that Wen Muye was not worthy of Han Jianuo's family background before, then after winning the Golden Lion Award, everything was naturally solved.

He is capable, has won awards, and is not bad looking. With all these conditions added together, it should not be a problem for him to become the son-in-law of the Third Master.

"Tsk~ If this really works, this kid will be very successful."

Muttering to himself, Fade Chen shook his head and put the matter behind him.

He has almost rested enough, and it is time for him to take over from Kang Honglei and take charge of the subsequent editing work of "Changjin Lake".

Lao Kang is about to turn 60, and will be 59 after the Chinese New Year. His energy is declining sharply, and he mutters every day that he can't hold on any longer.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Fei suddenly realized that he was 36 years old this year and would soon be 4, a typical middle-aged uncle.

But he didn't have any mid-life crisis.

I have money to spend, a beautiful wife, and a son who is about to go to kindergarten.

In a few years, Liu Yifei promised to give him a daughter.

This life is almost complete!
"I've decided. I'll work for a few more years. After my wife gives birth to a daughter, I'll retire and go to Kerguelen Island to do some fun things."

If you could go to the moon or even Mars and shoot a science fiction movie on location, what would the scene be like?

With such ambition in mind, Fade Chen got in the car and drove straight to the company.

……

Time flies and it’s already the 25th.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the suspense/crime film "Rock Solid" directed by Zhang Yimou officially entered major domestic theaters with a screening rate of 47%.

At the same time, "The Battle at Lake Changjin", which has been released for a week, has seen its daily box office fall below 2000 million due to a sharp drop in screenings.

But, this is a mission film after all, so it still has some support.

So on the 25th, official departments all over the country began to organize movie viewings and distribute movie tickets on a large scale, hoping to save the box office of this movie.

Taking advantage of this little popularity, the web drama "Northern Drift South" directed by Feng Xiaogang officially announced the list of main actors.

"The urban female emotional web drama "Northern Drift South Turn", produced by iQiyi, co-produced by Mela Media, New Power Culture, and Aranya Films, and directed by Feng Xiaogang, officially announced the main creative list today.

Lan Yingying, Jin Chen, Chuo Ni, and Sui Yuan will co-star, and Wang Luoluo will make a guest appearance. Together, they tell the story of five girls with different personalities and talents, who build friendships, strive for their careers, and find love as they grow up. "

With the help of the iQiyi platform, this announcement of the public list of leading actors successfully made it to the hot search list of major social platforms.

However, many netizens still expressed that they could not accept it.

"Is Feng Xiaogang really going to shoot a web drama? I still can't believe it. This is something he can do."

"I wonder if he'll have a chance to make a comeback? I like Feng's comedy."

"It's probably going to be difficult. He's had so many flops. Who would be willing to invest in him?"

"Let's go watch this movie by Lao Mouzi. I heard the quality is pretty good. I don't know if it's true or not."

“Having watched ‘Rock Solid’ once, I highly recommend it to everyone!”

It's just a web drama. Even with the name of Feng Xiaogang, its gimmick is destined to be not that big.

On the other hand, this is Zhang Yimou's first time to be involved in a suspense/crime film, and he has such a large cast, so it is natural that it will attract a lot of attention.

At 12 noon, when going to the cafeteria to eat, Chen Fei took a special look at the audience ratings of "Rock Solid" on the Internet.

The opening score on Maoyan was 9.3, and on Douban it was 8.4.

"Oh? Not bad."

This score is undoubtedly a passing score.

Then he looked for some film reviews.

"The gangs rob each other, the big guys behind the scenes, the calculations and scheming of each other, and the occasional sympathy. Oh my god, this movie is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Oh my god! The acts of doing that and stealing that were clearly pointed out? Did the reviewers just release it without even reading it thoroughly?"

"It's dark enough! It's cruel enough! It's realistic enough! It feels like watching a movie like In the Name of People, but with two completely different main plots."

"Politics on the people's side is a collision of black and white, black and black, and white and white. It simply interprets all the desires of human nature nakedly!"

"We should really work hard to develop large-scale domestic genre films. This is what we want to see! What's the point of the main theme? It's so boring..."

Chen Fei was reading a film review, while on the other side, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You made an appointment to go to the cinema together.

After watching for more than two hours, both of them had expressions of shock and surprise on their faces!
While running the water in the bathroom, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but feel frustrated and said indignantly, "Why can such a work pass the review? Isn't this too much?"

Ge You glanced at him sideways and said dimly, "Because he is Zhang Yimou."

"Huh? So what about Zhang Yimou? Does he have any special privileges?" Feng Xiaogang was very unconvinced.

"Because the investors of this film are Guangguang, Feiyue Film and Television, Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group... and the Supreme People's Procuratorate."

Feng Xiaogang was suddenly speechless.

If it were just Zhang Yimou relying on himself, then he really wouldn't have this privilege.

But with the support of these powerful film and television companies, it is not difficult for this movie to pass the review.

Especially the Supreme People’s Procuratorate Film and Television Center!

The reason why "In the Name of People" was able to be broadcast was because of it.

Since then, there has been no major movement from the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

But now that "Rock Solid" has been released, the shock it brings to people is simply too great!
Just one sentence of the movie version of "In the Name of People" is enough to illustrate how bold its content is, how high its quality is, and how excellent its plot is.

"Ugh."

Feng Xiaogang sighed deeply, shook himself twice, pulled up his pants, his eyes full of melancholy and nostalgia for the past. Thinking back to the time when he, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige were on the same team, it was so glorious and honorable.

The name "Feng's Comedy" was a guarantee of box office success at the time.

During his peak period, no one dared to show off in front of him, because the commercial films made by others were not as good as his, nor as popular as his.

But time has passed and everything in the past has become a bubble.

"If I hadn't insisted on making "Cell Phone 2", would the situation have been better?" Feng Xiaogang muttered to himself.

"Xiaogang, don't you have the idea of ​​continuing your comedy movie?" Ge You's voice sounded faintly at this time.

Feng Xiaogang was slightly stunned and turned his head in surprise, "What do you mean?"

“I remember reading a piece of news before that said comedy films like If You Are the One, Private Tailor, and Party A and Party B would be popular even in the current market.

Don't you own the copyrights of these movies? Why don't you try to make a sequel? You might get something out of it..."

Ge You was just speaking casually, but Feng Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

He listened!
What good can a web series achieve? It is nothing more than a stopgap measure for now.

His only goal is to make movies!
Because he could make a lot of money by making movies, he was able to successfully pay off all the money he owed and even restore his name, Feng Xiaogang!
"call……"

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Feng Xiaogang seemed to have made a decision, and murmured: "Let's shoot this web drama first, so that I can think about what to do next."

……

On the 26th, the first day box office results of "Rock Solid" were officially released!
Early in the morning, Chen Fei was still lying in bed when he heard the cell phone on the bedside table vibrating.

He knew with his toes that it must be Wang Changtian calling.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was true.

He put on his pajamas, walked out the door, and the next second after he pressed the answer button, he heard a hearty laugh coming from the microphone: "1.65 million! Hahaha! The screening schedule has increased again! Maybe we can create a single-day box office achievement of over million!"

"Cattle!"

"As long as we maintain this figure, breaking 15 billion will be a piece of cake."

"correct."

"Zhang Yimou called me and said he hadn't slept all night. He just kept refreshing the real-time box office growth data. He only took a nap after the box office revenue exceeded 100 million yuan."

"Hahaha, he's really too nervous. I've already reminded him that this movie will be a big hit at the box office."

"Now he feels relieved and is going to work on his movie 'On the Cliff'."

“May he succeed again.”

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chen Fei returned to the bedroom and went to take a nap with Liu Yifei in his arms.

It was chilly in December and it was only 12 o'clock in the morning. He would not be stupid enough to get up.

But, Brother Chen Kai on the other side couldn’t fall asleep at all.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Yimou who did not sleep last night. He also did not sleep all night. He kept staring at the real-time box office data list on Maoyan and reading the comments on Douban again and again.

Seeing that Zhang Yimou's movie was really getting good, he frowned instead.

You know, among good friends, there is still the situation where "I am afraid that my brother is having a hard life, and I am also afraid that my brother is driving a Land Rover", not to mention that he and Zhang Yimou are potential rivals.

Now that "As Solid as a Rock" has suddenly achieved great success in both box office and reputation, comparing the two, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

After all, although the movie "My Country, My Parents" he shot last year did quite well at the box office, the plot of the unit he personally directed was extremely controversial.

Therefore, no matter how much the marketing accounts hype it up, it cannot change the fact that he has made another controversial movie.

In addition, the movies he made in previous years did not have very good reputation and box office data, so many people do not think he can be compared with Zhang Yimou.

When talking about him, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is whether he was the one who filmed the movie "Farewell My Concubine".

This is embarrassing...

"No, I have to make a movie of high enough quality. Even if the box office performance is not good, the word of mouth must be good!"

While muttering to himself, he turned over and got out of bed, waking up Chen Hong who was sleeping in a daze.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

When she sat up from the bed, looking at Brother Chen Kai with a serious expression, Chen Hong thought something had happened.

But the next second, Brother Chen Kai said quietly: "Don't sleep anymore, it's time to work and finish filming "Flowers in the Dust" as soon as possible."

"what???"

Chen Hong turned her head and looked at the sky outside the window which was just beginning to brighten, her mind full of confusion.

It's not even daylight yet, what kind of work are you doing?
……

1.65 million, 2.33 million, 2.13 million.

The three days of the first weekend passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the 28th, all major media outlets couldn't wait to report the latest news about "Rock Solid" and other Lunar New Year movies:
"The crime/suspense film "Solid as a Rock", which was mainly controlled by Enlight Media and co-produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Xi'an Film Studio, Shanghai Film Studio, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate Film and Television Center, directed by Zhang Yimou, and co-starred by Bao Jianfeng, Zhou Xun, Wu Gang, Xu Yajun, Zhang Zhijian and others, grossed 6.11 million yuan in the first three days of the weekend."

"The crime/action film "The Breaking of the Clouds," produced by Golden Harvest and co-produced by Feiyue Films and Yinghuang, and co-starring Wang Qianyuan and Wu Yanzu, was officially taken off the screen yesterday, with a cumulative total box office of 10.32 billion."

"Life Events, released for two weeks and two days, grossed 18 billion yuan."

"The single-day box office of 'King Kong River' has returned to 3000 million, and relevant departments in various places have begun to organize group viewings to promote the spirit of 'resisting the US and aiding Korea'."

"Many New Year's Day films, such as "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "Warm Hug", have completed their premieres and will soon be screened on New Year's Day..."

For the entire morning, netizens were hotly discussing the many movies scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday.

What no one expected was that the movie "Send You a Little Red Flower", which has not yet been released, actually seemed to be trying to compete with "As Solid as a Rock".

The popularity of Yi Yang Qianxi + Liu Haoqi seems to be able to devastate the entire traffic circle.

Even though the latter is now controversial, judging from the many clips and promotional videos released about "Send You a Little Red Flower", the delicate posture of the little white flower really makes people feel pitiful.

The fans of appearance are out!
They launched a counterattack again, using the slogan that Zhou Dongyu was already an old woman, turning the entire Weibo into a mess!

Chen Fei simply scrolled through the trending searches and couldn't read on.

There is no way. The fans of both sides have made the platform a mess, with all kinds of quarrelsome remarks everywhere, and it smells like marketing from the inside out.

But just at this time, Jiahe’s announcement was also released!
Although the content is not much, the information revealed has triggered wave after wave of heated discussion.

"Based on the market's continued demand for high-quality action-crime films, Golden Harvest Films has joined hands with Ying Huang to officially announce the latest film project announcement:

Movie title: "Raging Fire".

Genre: Action, Crime.

Story summary: The film revolves around the fierce confrontation between the police force and the gangsters. It tells the story of the inspector of the serious crime team who, after facing his former comrade-in-arms becoming a criminal, sticks to justice and strives to track down the criminal. He fights a life-and-death battle with the evil forces in the hail of bullets. It deeply explores the complex relationship between human nature, justice and evil.

"We will invite veteran director Chen Long to be in charge of the filming of the film, and specially invite a group of powerful actors such as Zhao Wenzhuo, Nicholas Tse, Qin Lan, and Patrick Tam to form the starring team to ensure the artistic quality and production level of the film."

"The film is expected to start shooting in March next year, with a shooting period of three months. The filming locations include classic Hong Kong film locations such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Hung Hom, and Tsuen Wan. We strive to present a shocking visual experience to the audience through the restoration of real scenes and wonderful lens language."

"At the same time, the film will also specially invite Dianjing Digital's post-production team to be responsible for the film's editing, special effects, sound effects and other work, providing a solid guarantee for the high-quality presentation of the film."

This notice revealed a lot of information, but many people's attention was focused on the name "Chen Long".

Director Chen Long? !
When seeing the prefix information in front of his name, many people were stunned at first, and then suddenly exclaimed:

"Wow, after 'The Chinese Zodiac', is Chen Long going to be a director and make a movie again?"

"Oh my goodness, Uncle Long is really old but not old at heart. He can't fight anymore, so he's just going to be a monitor and watch others fight?"

"I really miss the old Chinese Zodiac! When this movie came out, many animal heads were replaced."

"Golden Harvest is indeed the leader of Hong Kong films. If they don't make a move, it's fine. But once they do, every one of their films is a bad one."

"A classic police and gangster action movie. Oh, I miss that era so much! But it's a pity that we can't go back..."
