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

Chapter 1296 Asian Games Chief Director? !

"How long will it take me to finish the post-production?!"

In Lu Chuan's studio, the roar continued to echo in the office for a long time.

The secretary who was being scolded said helplessly: "Boss Lu, I can't say for sure, because they can't be sure when the work can start, nor can they promise a specific delivery time."

"Then ask them to refund me the money."

Lu Chuan slammed the table in anger, wishing she could fly to the United States immediately, grab the neck of the foreigner who had cheated her of her money, and beat him up severely.

But it is impossible to ask him to do it.

Everyone knows that there have been various protests and demonstrations erupting among foreigners recently. If we go there and get sucked in, it will be difficult to get out again.

Therefore, he could only rage helplessly.

The secretary said nothing at this time, but he was already cursing in his heart.

There are so many special effects companies in China, why do you have to go abroad to find a professional one?

Now, people are holding onto the money and using the epidemic as an excuse to postpone the project again and again. What can anyone do?
Go to court to sue?
This is a good idea, but how easy is it to win an international lawsuit?

Once it starts, it will take three to five years to stop, and by then the day lily will be gone.

"Speak?" Lu Chuan was still in impotent rage.

The secretary looked up at him and muttered, "This business is not my responsibility. I can only communicate with them. I can't do anything else."

"Okay, okay, you're all trying to shirk responsibility, right? Then get the hell out of here!"

After hearing this, the secretary also got angry.

Throwing the documents on the table, she said directly: "Go away if you want. I don't want to serve you anymore. It's not my fault. What's the point of yelling at me?"

"You..." Lu Chuan obviously didn't expect this to happen, and her face was full of shock.

"What do you mean?" The secretary rolled her eyes and retorted, "It's obviously your problem. You didn't use Dianjing Digital's professional team and had to look for some foreigners. Now, there's a problem, right?"

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'I'? You deserve it! The current problems are all caused by you. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Lu Chuan was so furious when her sore spot was touched.

"Oh, idiot!"

After throwing out a curse, the female secretary turned around without hesitation and walked straight to the finance office.

Once she gets N+1, with her ability and level, there are plenty of places for her to go. Why should she stay here and play this boring workplace game with a idiot?
In fact, there was something she hadn't told Lu Chuan yet.

If nothing unexpected happens, the post-production of "Investigation 749" may not be completed until 2023.

In other words, even if this movie is released at the fastest speed, it will not be released until 2024.

As for the reason, it was naturally because that idiot Lu Chuan found an unreliable special effects company. All of this is his own fault!

"Hoohoo!"

Looking at the slammed office door, Lu Chuan gasped heavily, unable to hide his indignation.

He was already upset, and now the secretary provoked him with a few words, making him feel even more suffocated.

He couldn't help but want to go speeding, but thinking of the possible consequences of a car crash, he forced himself to endure it.

However, at this moment, a phone call suddenly came in.

Lu Chuan looked down and blinked in confusion.

Why did Dad call?
With doubt in his heart, he casually pressed the connect button.

"Hello? Dad?"

"I have some news to tell you." On the other end of the phone, Lu Tianming could not hide his excitement, and there was a silent joy in his tone.

"What? Is it good news?"

"That's right! Good news! Great news!"

Lu Tianming laughed loudly. After a while, when his excitement had subsided, he said seriously, "From now on, put down all the work you are doing."

"Ah? Why?" Lu Chuan was inexplicably panicked.

He almost thought that something bad he had done was discovered, or that his father knew about his secret promotion of Sino-Japanese friendship, so he was put in solitary confinement.

But on second thought, I felt that it shouldn't be the case.

After all, Dad said that this time I came to inform him of the good news.

On the phone, Lu Tianming explained in a deep voice: "I have received news that the 19th Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou next year, and the Olympic Committee is now considering the candidate for the chief director of the opening ceremony.

I think you are very suitable to be the chief director, so I put your name forward. Next, you should prepare for this project well. "

Lu Chuan: “???”

Let him run for chief director of the Asian Games opening ceremony?
What a joke!

How could he have such ability?

You know, in the past, this kind of activity was handled by the national master Zhang Yimou, so how could it be the turn of a little Karami like him?
Even if Zhang Yimou is old and can no longer work, he cannot take on this project!

With his ability, he could have done well in making movies like "Looking for the Gun" and "Kekexili".

But how could he handle a task like the Asian Games?
"dad……"

The corners of Lu Chuan's mouth twitched a few times, and she finally decided to confess and get leniency.

He really doesn't have this ability. If he had this ability, there wouldn't have been so many film projects that failed miserably under his leadership.

However, before he could confess, Lu Tianming interrupted him and said, "I will arrange for someone to guide you and serve as your assistant. You should learn patiently and work hard. As long as you can win the election, it will not be in vain for all my efforts and favors."

"Who will you arrange?"

"Sha Xiaolan was the chief lighting designer for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 08th Olympic Games and the 29th Paralympic Games in . He was Zhang Yimou's partner before. You should seize this opportunity, learn more, and watch more. Do you understand?"

In order to help his unfortunate son, Lu Tianming put in a lot of thought and tried his best.

Fortunately, he still had some face and was able to talk to Sha Xiaolan.

I believe that with that person's assistance, Lu Chuan should be able to learn a lot.

As long as you can get this position of "chief director" and do it beautifully, it will be like having an extra "golden medal of immunity from death" in the future.

As long as you don't commit any serious mistakes and it's just a problem with speech, the merits and demerits can be offset.

There is no such thing as literary inquisition nowadays.

As long as public opinion can be successfully manipulated, everything else will be easy.

"Dad! Don't worry! I will definitely learn well from Teacher Sha and try my best to get the position of chief director!"

Lu Chuan made repeated assurances, looking very confident.

If he still can't make it big with the assistance of a master-level figure like Sha Xiaolan, he might as well go COS speed bumps on the highway.

"Okay, someone will call you later, remember to answer it."

After saying that, Lu Tianming hung up the phone.

As for Lu Chuan, he has successfully turned his worries into joy and started to fantasize about the moment when he would become famous.

"Hehe~ People used to call Zhang Yimou the International Zhang, so after I take over as the chief director, can I also get the title of 'International Lu'?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, what he didn't know was that on the other side, Chen Fei, who was busy doing post-production work on "Changjin Lake", suddenly received a call from Zhang Yimou.

When Chen Fei heard the words "the 19th Asian Games" and "the official film director of the Capital Winter Olympics" from Zhang Yimou's mouth, he became quite interested.

Directing the Asian Games?
Sounds pretty good?

So, he asked curiously: "How do I start this? Do I need to sign up first? Or..."

Back then, when the chief director of the 08 Olympic Games was being selected, Chen Fei also attended several preliminary meetings. However, at that time, he was not competent enough and did not have the time, so compared to Zhang Yimou's "extensive preparation" and Chen Kaige's "reciting a poem", he was just a spectator.

But now is different from the past.

The post-production of "Changjin Lake" was completed by February at the latest. By then he was free again and there was not much work to do afterwards.

You can definitely give it a try during your free time.

Being selected is naturally a good thing, and you can easily become famous for generations to come.

But it doesn't matter if you don't get selected, just treat it as a fun activity when you are bored~
"This requires internal referral. If you are interested, I will recommend you once the project department for the Asian Games is successfully established."

In fact, the higher-ups wanted Zhang Yimou to continue to be the chief director.

But he declined.

After all, he is over 70 years old this year, and he can no longer stay up all night to discuss the program like he did in 08.

So, instead of forcing yourself to go up and embarrass yourself, it is better to give this opportunity to young directors.

Therefore, the first person he thought of was Chen Fei.

If he is willing to take over, he can definitely successfully support the Asian Games!
Zhang Yimou's trust in Chen Fei even far exceeds his trust in himself.

"Okay, then you can push me up there so I can see what it's like. I've never done a large-scale evening party like this before, so I can give it a try this time."

Chen Fei’s main idea now is actually just for fun.

As for the rest, he hasn't thought about it too much yet.

"Okay, then wait for my news. I will contact you as soon as it is pushed up."

After saying that, Lao Mouzi hung up the phone and continued to work.

At the same time, Brother Chen Kai also received the news.

But he didn't think too much about it now, and just said casually: "Put my name on it first, and when the project is officially organized, I will go over to hold a meeting to see if it's suitable."

"it is good."

Chen Hong immediately ran to make arrangements.

In fact, the reason why she told Brother Chen Kai the news was mainly to fulfill Chen's dream.

After all, when Lao Chen failed in the competition for the chief director of the 08 Olympic Games, he was sad for a long time.
If I can realize my dream at the Asian Games, it will make up for a big regret in my heart.

And with the actions and reactions of various major forces, for a time, there was an inexplicable sign of "undercurrent" in the circle.

But this did not affect the normal release and launch of movies and TV series.

"The Story of Yanxi Palace" has been cancelled and replaced by "Emergency Public Relations" starring Huang Xiaoming, Cai Wenjing and Tan Zhuo.

Although the plot of this drama seems to be about topics related to "public relations", everyone suddenly realized it after it was actually launched...

Isn’t this still a classic drama about a domineering president?

The advantage is that most of the crisis events involved in the story are adaptations of real social stories or hot events.

At the same time, in the words of experts, this drama deeply explores the various aspects of the industry, shows the ways of the workplace, and implicitly criticizes the problem of domestic industry dramas being superficial and out of touch with reality.

But even so, it cannot change the phenomenon that Huang Xiaoming inexplicably starts to become greasy when he plays in urban dramas.

"I originally thought Huang Xiaoming had successfully removed the oil, but it turned out that I was too naive. Not only did he fail to remove the oil, but he also smeared a layer of oily mud on his face."

"I'm not sure if this screenwriter knows anything about public relations, but he certainly doesn't know anything about the airline industry. An airline won't find out they've overbooked a plane after all the passengers have boarded. And when all the passengers get off and back on, they need to go through security checks again. Do you understand?"

"Pfft, I suddenly thought of something very interesting. Huang Xiaoming doesn't even know how to use a laptop keyboard, and he's a 'one-finger Zen' player. How come he's an executive in this drama?"

"Alas, compared to his acting in 'Fire Rescue', the leader's acting in this drama has plummeted, but his domineering temperament is perfectly captured."

"By the way, it seems like I haven't seen the leader's wife for a long time. What are the two doing? Are they going to give themselves the title of 'bad movie couple'?"

Chen Fei actually found time to watch two episodes.

But just like the previous "Shangyang Fu", he really couldn't get into this kind of drama with flaws in the plot.

Instead of wasting time on this kind of plot, it is better to take Xiao Shitou to the cinema to watch "Wish Dragon".

This animated film dubbed by Chen Long is quite interesting. Although it has the flavor of a modern and childish version of "Aladdin", it does have a lot of laughs.

At least Xiao Shitou likes the dragon very much, and that’s enough.

However, after coming out of the cinema, the little guy suddenly shouted that he also wanted to ride the dragon, which made Chen Fei and Liu Yifei look at each other in surprise.

Where can I find him a dragon for him to ride home?
Finally, the couple had to spend several thousand dollars and bought the brat a dragon-shaped toy, and only then did they successfully coax him back home.

"The first day's box office was only 1106 million."

Liu Yifei was quite interested in this animated film and told Chen Fei about the news early the next morning.

After taking a sip of soy milk, Fade Chen said quietly, "The release date is neither too early nor too late, and it's not a popular time. Plus, the plot has a bit of the flavor of Aladdin, so it's naturally not going to win everyone's favor."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Liu Yifei responded, sat opposite Chen Fei, and continued to chat with him casually: "What about the New Gods Nezha Reborn that was released during the Spring Festival? Do you think it has a chance to catch up with our Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World?"

"dream!"

These two simple words directly reveal the psychological attitude.

It can be seen from the promotional video of "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" that this is more like a work that madly piles up various "good ideas".

Add a little here, a little there, and all kinds of fancy adding ingredients, which ultimately leads to the loss of the most essential taste of milk tea.

Moreover, with the rough gem of "Ne Zha" in the past, if another similar film comes out, the audience will definitely make comparisons.

This comparison clearly shows who is better!
After dinner, Chen Fei said goodbye to Liu Yifei who was about to go find Han Jianuo, and rushed to his post again, ready to continue the post-production work of "Changjin Lake".

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the company, he saw several more hot news items on the Internet.

"Due to the exhaustion of its box office potential, the main theme movie "King Kong River", produced by China Film Group Corporation, co-directed by Guan Hu, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yibai, and co-starred by Huang Xiaoming, Li Chen, Li Jiuxiao and Wei Chen, has been officially withdrawn from the screen.

The film has been released for 30 days and has grossed 10.13 billion yuan, ranking No. 3 in the Lunar New Year box office performance rankings.

"The production company of "Solid as a Rock" has issued a notice on the extension of the key. The release period of the film will be postponed to February 2. We hope that all major theaters will respond immediately after receiving the notice."

"The Film Bureau has announced the latest list of approved film and television scripts. The main theme film "Revolutionary" submitted by Huanxi Media and written by Guan Hu has officially passed the review."

"Huanxi Media released the latest press release, and the project "Revolutionary" has been officially launched! Preparation and casting work will soon begin, and Director Guan Hu will once again take the lead..."

It is already amazing that "King Kong River" was taken offline and "Rock Solid" enjoyed a key extension.

After all, the former is the official main theme mission film, while the latter's subject matter is extremely sensitive.

But before everyone started discussing, Guan Hu’s new film "Revolutionary" was released.

"Hey? Why did Huanxi Media take over again? Is this guy really a hot commodity?"

Seeing the new news that Huanxi officially announced its cooperation with Guan Hu, Chen Fei muttered in surprise.

From Huayi at the beginning, to China Film, and now Huanxi...

Guan Hu is a man who has been robbed of his family of three surnames.

In history, Lu Bu, a slave of three surnames, had a bad ending and reputation.

Now it seems that Guan Hu is not much different.

You know, Chen Fei doesn't even have any memory of the movie "Revolutionary" in his mind.

This means that, if nothing unexpected happens, this movie will be a huge flop and won’t make any waves at all.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and threw away all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

On the other hand, when Jiao Hongfen saw the news that "Revolutionary" was successfully approved, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He really didn't expect that after Guan Hu hit a wall at China Film, he actually turned around and looked for Huanxi Media, and successfully obtained investment.

“Does Dong Ping think so highly of this subject?”

Jiao Hongfen frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had missed something.

But soon, he didn't have time to think about it, because the secretary informed him that all the people he had invited a few days ago had arrived!
