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

Chapter 1309 Yes, we have a child...

"This morning, Feiyue Films released a release announcement: officially announcing that White Snake 2: The Green Snake will be released nationwide on July 7 during the summer vacation, and the release of the 'Illusionary Tribulation' release trailer and poster will be released simultaneously.

The film tells the story of Xiaobai being imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda, Xiaoqing falling into the realm of Nirvana, and embarking on a solo adventure to save Xiaobai..."

"At 10 o'clock in the morning, Feiyue Film and Television, together with Xiying, Shanghai Film, Bayi and other companies, released a press release on the film release date:

Directed by Chen Fei, Kang Honglei and Guo Fan, and starring Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Peng Yuchang, Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and Huang Xuan, the main theme masterpiece "Changjin Lake" will be released on September 9, and will be released during the National Day holiday! "

"Wanhe Tianyi's new work "Famous" has officially been approved."

"Snow Swordsman" is scheduled to be released at the end of the year... Zhang Ruoyun said in an interview that Joy of Life 2 is in preparation..."

At this time on Monday, it is usually the time when many film, television and entertainment companies compete for hot searches.

However, facing the aggressive approach of Feiyue Film and Television, no one was able to compete with it.

"The Battle at Lake Changjin" is scheduled to be released on National Day, and "White Snake 2" is scheduled to be released during the summer vacation.

This is simply a matter of not taking action, but once you take action, it will be a sensation!
At Bona, Yu Dong was watching "Chinese Doctor", which was currently in post-production, with mixed emotions in his heart.

He had originally planned to schedule "Chinese Doctor" to be released during the National Day holiday, but given the situation, he would probably die if he went!

"Well, let's just go for the summer vacation and compete with White Snake 2."

Yu Dong finally made a decision.

Although the summer vacation period has always been dominated by youth films, science fiction films, and fantasy films, Bona is not without its own trump cards.

After all, "Chinese Doctor" has the exclusive license for real-life shooting at the Jinyintan Hospital, and the guest appearance of Academician Zhong Nanshan is also very topical. With these conditions, it may be able to shine!
While muttering to himself, he did not forget to urge Liu Wei Qiang to be serious and careful and to strictly control the quality of the film.

“I think we can further enhance the empty ferry shot on the day Wuhan was locked down. After all, it is the main theme. The audience needs this kind of heart-touching details. This is also a way to increase our box office appeal…”

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

The box office appeal of movies directed by Chen Fei is simply too exaggerated.

Even though mainstream movies have been almost over-produced nowadays, his name is still very famous, far beyond the reach of other directors.

There’s nothing we can do about it, the audience just trusts him!
Therefore, under the premise that "The Battle at Lake Changjin" has officially announced that it will be released during the National Day holiday, the summer vacation period will definitely become lively, and competition will definitely be inevitable by then.

At the same time, at China Film Group, Jiao Hongfen also started to have a headache.

"One of the two main theme movies, My Fathers and Me and Peak Explosion, will definitely be released during the National Day holiday, so we have to make a decision in advance as to which one to release during the holiday."

In the huge conference room, everyone didn't know how to respond for a moment after hearing his words.

Because according to the current situation, I am afraid that no matter which movie is released during the National Day holiday, it will be badly beaten by "Changjin Lake".

So, it doesn’t matter which one you choose, you’ll lose anyway…

But no one dared to say this, because saying it would undoubtedly be too disrespectful to Jiao Hongfen.

Therefore, everyone could only hold their breath, eyes on the nose, nose on the mouth, mouth on the heart, and not say a word.

But this is not a big deal.

Seeing Jiao Hongfen's face becoming more and more ugly, the marketing director tentatively said, "How about...let's put "Fathers" on the stage? After all, the IP has continuity and can be more competitive."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the head of the distribution department shook his head and objected: "You don't have to guess, the war scenes in "Changjin Lake" are definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, and our warmth card will not get any advantage in front of it.

I think it's better to let Peak Explosion go, at least there is a difference in genre. We attract our audience and he attracts his audience. It's impossible to form a siphon effect, right? "

Just as the two sides were arguing, Jiao Hongfen suddenly remembered what Chen Fei said at the main theme exchange forum of the "Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival" last year.

[The main theme is not the monopoly of the subject matter, but the resonance of values! ]

Thinking of this, he slammed the table and said, "I think these two films can skip the National Day period! Fathers will go to the Mid-Autumn Festival period to focus on the theme of family reunion.

As for "Peak Explosion", it can be moved to the summer vacation schedule and take the route of "Infrastructure Maniac". We won't compete head-on with "Changjin Lake". The right way is to compete in different positions..."

Since the chairman had said so, naturally no one had any objection and everyone agreed unanimously.

Chen Fei didn't know it at the moment, but the official announcement of "Changjin Lake" actually gave rise to a subtle atmosphere of "all gods retreat".

He is busy eating melon right now!
I just finished chatting with Peng Yuchang about Huang Lei and He Jiong two days ago, but not long after, He Jiong became the focus.

A media outlet photographed him behaving intimately with a man on the streets of Shanghai. The scene of the two crossing the street hand in hand quickly became a hot search topic and instantly sparked heated discussions across the Internet.

Many netizens thought about the fact that he had never disclosed any information about his marriage, wife and children, and suddenly they understood.

"It turns out that this emotionally intelligent host is not unwilling to get married, but has a different orientation..."

However, what no one expected was that the drama of this month’s Weibo hot search list was comparable to that of a film or TV series!
Less than half an hour after the news of He Jiong holding hands with a man was exposed, rumors of a romance between popular young actor Wang Yibo and "Creation Camp 101" contestant Li Zixuan "came out of nowhere".

Netizens' attention was instantly attracted to this "top young actor", and the discussion heat of topics related to He Jiong began to decline sharply.

Immediately afterwards, the agency of both the man and the woman quickly spoke out to refute the rumors and denied the relationship rumors.

Before the storm here has subsided, another wave of troubles has arrived.

That night, actor Wang Ziwen revealed in a variety show that she had a child out of wedlock.

Just one day later, Hua Chenyu posted a message admitting that he and Zhang Bichen had a daughter. At the same time, Zhang Zhixi revealed that her boyfriend Jin Han had cheated on her many times and then got back together...

This dense stream of explosive material really made netizens dazzled.

Even the controversial TV series "Emergency Public Relations", which had long ended, was dug up by the gossipers.

Many netizens enthusiastically @Huang Xiaoming, jokingly asking him to use "public relations" tactics to suppress the news.

But Master Huang had no time to respond at this moment.

He is busy directing "My Fathers and Me", and his marriage with Yang Ying, which is on the verge of breaking up, is making him anxious. How can he have the energy to entertain netizens?
"Wang Ziwen? Isn't she with that guy?"

Liu Yifei is an expert at surfing on a daily basis, and at this moment she seems to be staring at the hot searches with great interest.

However, her understanding of the secrets of the circle is obviously not as deep as Chen Fei's.

"Wang Shuo."

"Yes, yes, yes! It's him! So she gave birth to a child for this old man?"

"probably……"

Chen Fei was not 100% sure whether the child was Wang Shuo's, but he thought it was almost certain.

After all, when Wang Shuo was in his heyday, he wore a prince tattoo when attending any party, which showed that he was extremely favored.

Wang Ziwen’s current achievements are inseparable from the support of this former Beijing tycoon, so it seems reasonable for her to have a child for him out of wedlock.

In fact, what really surprised Chen Fei was the fact that Hua Chenyu and Zhang Bichen had a child!
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the music industry, he knows that Zhang Bichen is now a first-line female singer and is very popular.

And she actually likes Hua Chenyu, who is always teased for his "skills" when singing? It's unbelievable!

Not to mention him, even many netizens left messages on Weibo saying that their three views were "shocked".

What makes people want to complain even more is the careful wording they chose when they made the official announcement. The subtlety between the lines can be called a "literary scene" in the entertainment industry!
"To be honest, I recognize every word Zhang Bichen posted, but I just can't understand them together. What does it mean to raise a child together without being married? Is society so open now?"

"Your circle is so fucking chaotic! Having a child out of wedlock! Sharing custody without being married! Staying together even though the boyfriend is a prostitute... Shit, it makes my head hurt."

"Wang Feng: You guys can do it! All of you can do it! As soon as I release a song, you guys do this, right?"

"The entertainment industry is indeed the entertainment industry. Even giving birth to a child is so entertaining. It's really something special."

"Isn't this some kind of public relations tactic? They all popped up at once just to suppress something..." Hot discussions on the Internet continued one after another, and the circle was even more lively. People could be seen whispering and discussing in private gatherings and during breaks at work.

Although Chen Fei was also very curious, he was well aware of the rules of survival in the entertainment industry.

This kind of gossip or celebrity secrets are often like a summer rainstorm, coming quickly but difficult to last.

In this age of rapid information decay, even the most popular topics will be covered by new “melons” after their peak popularity.

When the traffic dividend is exhausted, the parties involved will either handle the matter coldly or give vague responses, and eventually it will fade away quietly in the wave of public opinion, leaving only a few sighs after dinner.

As soon as the next hot topic comes, everyone will automatically switch to the new topic.

For example, an incident that happened just after the end of March directly suppressed all previous hot searches!
Chen Fei had just finished reading the project books for "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Return to the South China Sea" and "The Wandering Earth 2" when he received a call from Guo Fan.

"The person has left!"

"Who?"

"Ng Man-tat!"

Chen Fei paused for a moment while holding the phone, and then he sighed after a long moment: "I'll send out a condolence notice."

After hanging up the phone, he opened Weibo and saw that the entry "Rest in peace, Uncle Da" was dominating the list.

The obituary released by Wu Mengda’s family and agency was concise and heavy: he was in the advanced stage of liver cancer and treatment was ineffective. He was 68 years old!
The old man in the photo is wearing a hospital gown. He looks thin but still has his signature gentle smile, as if he will say the classic phrase "Handsome boy, have you eaten yet?" in the next second.

Chen Fei clearly remembered that when he met Wu Mengda on the set of "The Wandering Earth" before, he seemed to be in pretty good condition.

The girl Zhao Jinmai even asked him for advice on performance techniques, and he was very generous in teaching her everything he knew.

But I never thought that just a few years later, the living person had been frozen in a small photo frame, and all that was left was the laughter and joy that he once brought to the audience.

At this moment, the Weibo comment section has been flooded with memories of many movie fans.

Some people posted yellowed VCD covers, some edited a mix of scenes between Uncle Da and Master Xing, and many more wrote eulogies...

Chen Fei thought about it and also posted a response in the comment section:
"Uncle Tat is gone, taking with him an era of screen fireworks, but those characters who made us laugh and cry will live forever!"

This may be the best epitaph for the actor.

When you leave the world, there will always be someone somewhere who will fall in love with this world again because of your work!
Many celebrities in the circle are mourning, and Guo Fan even went to Hong Kong in person...

Although Chen Fei did not go, he entrusted Huo Qigang to help send a token of his appreciation.

Until March 3th, one wave of problems has not yet subsided when another wave of problems arises!
As soon as Lao Deng came to power, certain forces began to use tricks behind the scenes, causing chaos in the public opinion field.

In the past, foreign brands would never issue inappropriate statements such as "banning Xinjiang cotton".

After all, Xinjiang cotton not only has significant cost advantages, but is also world-renowned for its high quality. In 2020, the rate of mechanical picking has reached 70%, and more than 90% of cotton fields in northern Xinjiang have achieved full mechanization...

But this time, brands such as H&M, Nike, Adidas, Converse, and Uniqlo ignored the market risks, made absurd remarks one after another, and began to engage in outrageous operations to insult Hua.

For a time, netizens were furious and the daily newspaper even criticized it by name!
What is gratifying is that the domestic entertainment industry has demonstrated a rare cohesion this time.

More than 40 celebrities, including Yang Mi, Di Lieba, Guli Nazha, Peng Yuchang, Ni Ni, Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Zhou Xun, Wang Yibao, and Zhang Yixing, immediately announced the termination of their cooperation with the brand involved.

The artists have made their stance clear through practical actions. Any words or actions that stigmatize China will be firmly resisted!

Perhaps Lao Deng himself did not expect that this public opinion war triggered by capital game would eventually turn into a collective declaration by the whole nation to safeguard national dignity!

"The Ministry of Justice has been so busy lately, with lawsuits coming one after another..."

When Su Guohai came to give Chen Fei the filming permit and project approval notice, he also proposed to continue expanding the Legal Department.

Chen Fei naturally had no objection, "There is no lawsuit to lose, right?"

"Haha, that's not the case. Those brands are actually not that good either. They are simply not good enough in front of our 'Chaoyang Ever-Victorious King'."

"I don't know who gave this nickname."

Chen Fei was a little amused and helpless. He really admired the person who came up with this nickname. It was so damn talented.

After chatting for a while, Su Guohai shook the filming permit in his hand and talked about business, "Can these two projects be officially launched?"

"Well, let's get started. Notify Guo Fan and Ning Hao and let them take care of it. Arrange the funds and personnel and get the logistics in place."

"Ok, I see."

Su Guohai agreed solemnly, then turned and left the office.

……

On March 3, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Godzilla vs. Kong" was officially launched.

As expected, this blockbuster made a stunning debut on the first day of its release with a box office of 1.88 million RMB!
However, "Detective Chinatown 3", which was highly anticipated by the Chinese-language film industry, did not disappoint.

On the 28th, the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" officially exceeded 66 billion, breaking the box office record set by "The Wandering Earth" in one fell swoop and becoming the new No. 1 on the Chinese-language film box office list!

As soon as the news was announced, media coverage focused overwhelmingly on this milestone moment.

It is worth noting that the film's single-day box office still remains above 1000 million. Although the screening rate has declined, the long-tail effect is very significant.

Industry experts immediately predicted that if the key extension application continues, the film’s final box office is expected to hit 70 billion, further consolidating its market dominance!
For a time, voices of envy were heard everywhere in the circle.

On the set of "On the Cliff", Dong Ping, who came to visit the set, stared at the news on his mobile phone screen that "Detective Chinatown 3" had broken the box office of 66 billion yuan, and his Adam's apple rolled twice unconsciously.

The long string of numbers was like dancing gold coins, reflecting a burning light in his eyes.

Next to him, Zhang Yimou was discussing with his "official screenwriter" Chen Yu how to develop the next project.

Listening to the two people's constant comments about the ancient house in Jin Province, Dong Ping's mind was slightly shaken, and he put forward the thoughts in his mind:
"Director Zhang, what do you think about setting the story in the Southern Song Dynasty? It's the kind of political drama that takes place in a large mansion, where the embroidery on a civil servant's robe can be used as a weapon, and a single word can set off a bloody storm!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly pointed to the corner of the house, "Look at that patio, it's square like a coffin, perfect for assassination!
And those carved screens, it would be interesting to have the killer hide behind them, with the blades unsheathed in the candlelight."

Zhang Yimou flicked the ash between his fingers and muttered, "The Southern Song Dynasty? That was a place where many literati gathered, so poetry was indispensable as an introduction."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu, a screenwriter sitting next to him who was very familiar with the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, suddenly slapped his thigh!
"How about Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong"? 'The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged'... The Jin envoy suddenly died, the secret letter disappeared, the entire official residence was full of suspects, and the clues were hidden in the poems that everyone recited.

When the mystery was finally revealed, everyone in the lobby recited "Man Jiang Hong" together, just like the popular large-scale script-killing show...

It has both suspense and twists, and emphasizes the feelings of family and country. At the same time, it can also use film as a medium to convey the spirit of loyalty to the country, which is in line with the current main theme structure..."

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the cigarette butt in his hand flew away. "This is quite interesting. After the filming of "On the Cliff" is completed, let's have a meeting to expand on it and see if there is any progress."

Dong Ping, who was standing next to him, suddenly had a light of excitement in his eyes.

The point of "Man Jiang Hong" is really wonderful! It has both a sense of historical weight and the ability to spread itself.

After all, Yue Fei's poems are well-known to everyone, and just using this as the title of the film can evoke emotional resonance among the audience.

If you really choose to use this story, you will save more than just real money when promoting it, but also the priceless cognitive foundation!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyelids kept trembling, as if he had already seen the scene on the screen "leaning on the railing with furious hair standing on end".

However, amidst the excitement, a trace of sadness crept into my brows.

"On the Cliff" is about to be completed, and Zhang Yimou has received a new task and has to devote himself to the preparations for the opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics.

This also means that the launch of new projects will be postponed until at least the second half of next year, or even longer.

"Oh, forget it. Good things take time."

He murmured to himself in a self-deprecating manner, and at the same time couldn't help wondering, could he use the gimmick of 'double Oscar director' to create something new?
