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

Chapter 1316: Divorce and henpecked? Wang Baoqiang's new work!
"Your Wedding" tells a youth love story spanning 15 years.

In 06, during high school, Zhou Xiaoqi, a swimming specialty student, fell in love with the transfer student You Yongci at first sight. Their relationship gradually heated up, but they lost contact because You Yongci's father transferred again.

In 08, Zhou Xiaoqi repeated his senior year and was admitted to Huaxing University where You Yongci was studying. However, You Yongci already had a boyfriend, so the two became friends.

Later, Zhou Xiaoqi joined the provincial swimming team, met You Yongci again and helped her solve her work problems.

During an important competition, Zhou Xiaoqi was worried that You Yongci would give up the game and confessed his love to her, and the two then got together.

However, due to an accident, Zhou Xiaoqi was injured and could no longer be an athlete, and his work was not going well, while You Yongci got the opportunity to study in Milan. Due to a misunderstanding, You Yongci went abroad and the two separated.

Two years later, Zhou Xiaoqi received an invitation to You Yongci's wedding. At first he decided not to go, but finally he chose to go.

At the wedding, Zhou Xiaoqi reflected on the past, let go of his growth, and finally bid farewell to You Yongci formally.

This is a relatively innovative "youth" themed movie.

Green first love, sincere feelings, unregrettable youth...all of these combined together eventually turn into precious memories.

"Do you think this movie will be a hit?"

At the premiere, sitting in the front row, Wang Changtian frowned and cast an inquiring look at Chen Fei, eager to hear his opinion.

"can."

Chen Fei gave a firm and straightforward answer.

Although the golden age of youth-themed films has come to an end, the audience for such films remains solid and lasting.

As time goes by, every year there are young people entering middle age, and at the same time there are teenagers growing into young adults.

Reminiscing about youth has always been an eternal topic in people's hearts.

Because of this, there is always a market for youth-themed films at all times, but it is difficult to reproduce the astonishing box office revenue during the genre's explosive period.

What's more, Guangguang has extremely rich experience in shooting films of this type.

Take "Your Wedding" for example, it is an excellent example.

With the outstanding performances of Xu Guanghan and Zhang Ruonan, and the lack of strong competing films in the current market, there is no need to worry too much about the box office results.

"That's good."

Wang Changtian let out a long sigh, and his tense shoulders relaxed instantly.

At the same time, he was secretly thinking in his mind: It seems that I have to continue to delve into this type of subject matter in the future, and increase investment and creative efforts.

However, at this moment, the two did not notice that Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, who were sitting in the second row, had very solemn expressions amid the interweaving of light and shadow of the movie.

Their eyes were staring blankly ahead, with unspeakable melancholy surging in their hearts.

The scenes on the screen seemed to touch the softest corner of the two people's hearts.

Memories are good, but reality is extremely cruel.

Yang Ying's behavior and the stupid things she did made Huang Xiaoming feel devastated.

Huang Xiaoming's lack of understanding, support and response made Yang Ying completely disappointed in him.

In the final analysis, both of them have their own reasons and problems to have come to this point today.

After more than an hour, the movie ended.

The crowd rushed to the exit like a tide, but Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying seemed to be nailed to their seats and did not move.

Staring at the darkened screen, Yang Ying spoke softly, "Back then we also said that we would be together forever."

Her voice was hoarse, with a self-deprecating laugh, "It was exactly the same vow as in the movie, but how come it's broken like this now?"

Huang Xiaoming's throat rolled, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just pulled the corners of his mouth.

Although they were once like the protagonists in the movie and loved each other passionately in their youth, life is far more cruel than the movies.

Especially the differences in career development have gradually eroded the former affection.

"Do you remember the movie we watched on our first date?" Yang Ying suddenly turned and looked at him, with a faint light in her eyes.

Huang Xiaoming was stunned, memories flooding back.

At that time, after watching a movie, they would walk hand in hand on the streets, talking about the future, dreams, and life.

But now, there seemed to be an invisible wall between the two of them.

"As long as you are willing to listen to me, come home, take care of your husband and children..." Before Huang Xiaoming finished his words, Yang Ying's cell phone suddenly rang.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the caller ID. Her fingertips quickly slid across the screen to answer the call. Her voice was as cold as ice: "Lawyer Xu? The documents are all ready, right? Okay, we'll go over this afternoon."

These few short sentences were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the last hope in Huang Xiaoming's eyes.

He looked around warily, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to this side, he said in a trembling voice, pretending to be calm: "So you are determined to leave? Do you have to go this far?"

Yang Ying neatly stuffed her phone into her bag, her eyes as cold as ice: "I have said long ago that I want to control my own life and will never become anyone's vassal.

Since you are unwilling to help me, then there is no need for us to be together. If a husband and wife cannot help each other, can they still be called husband and wife?

Meet at the law firm at 3pm. We'll complete the formalities. You're living your dream of being a CEO, and I'm pursuing my heroine. That's it."

After she finished speaking, she straightened her back, picked up her handbag, and disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

Huang Xiaoming looked at the figure walking away, feeling bitterness and melancholy in his chest.

The lovers who once had the "wedding of the century" were eventually completely separated by the torrent of time.

He couldn't tell whether the end of this marriage was a tragedy or a relief.

However, the sense of relief that quietly overflowed in his heart made him suddenly realize a fact.

Maybe... letting go is a kind of redemption for each other.

"What are you doing standing still?"

Huang Xiaoming was suddenly patted on the shoulder and turned around subconsciously, and saw Chen Fei and Wang Changtian approaching him one after another.

A smile instantly spread across his face: "Director Wang, Director Chen."

Wang Changtian invited him with a smile: "Xiao Ming, let's go. If you have nothing to do, let's go eat together."

There was a banquet to thank the guests after the premiere.

"Okay, you two go ahead, I'll be right there as soon as I make a phone call."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and retreated to a corner, then called his lawyer.

Since you have decided to separate, you naturally have to "settle the accounts clearly".

Naturally, he would not be stingy with what should be given to Yang Ying, after all, she is the child's mother.

But it was originally his own property, so he certainly wouldn't give it away for no reason. After all, it was an astronomical sum of money!
The division is not so simple to accomplish, and there will definitely be some wrangling involved.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaoming did not arrange more work for himself in the second half of the year. Except for the "My Fathers and Me" he was currently in charge of, he pushed aside all other work, leaving enough time to deal with related matters after the divorce.

……

"The premiere of the youth-themed film "Your Wedding", produced by Guangguang Master Control and co-starred by Xu Guanghan and Zhang Ruonan, has come to a successful conclusion and the box office pre-sale channel has been opened."

"The drama film "Miracle Stupid Kid", produced by Feiyue Films, directed by Wen Muye, and starring Peng Yuchang, Tian Yu, Yang Enyou, Zhao Liying, and Tian Zhuangzhuang, held its opening ceremony in Shenzhen this morning."

"The Wandering Earth 2" announces the cast list: Wu Jing, Liu Dehua, Li Xuejian, Sha Yi, Xie Nan, Dilireba and others will co-star in the film."

"It is reported that The Wandering Earth 2 is a prequel to the first film, mainly telling the story of how humans build a huge propeller on the surface of the Earth to help the Earth find a new home in order to cope with the solar crisis."

"Wu Jing and Xie Nan are a real couple, teaming up with a group of veteran actors to officially launch the Wandering Earth Project!"

The overwhelming press releases came like a tide!

As a movie with a box office of "66 billion" before it, "The Wandering Earth 2" quickly sparked heated discussions about the "science fiction" theme on the Internet as soon as it was released.

Many investors looked at this grand occasion with envy, and also had the idea of ​​making a big-budget science fiction film and making big money at the box office.

However, unfortunately, its own foundation and strength are indeed insufficient.

Let me ask, at present, apart from Feiyue Film and Television, which other film and television company has the courage to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to engage in the production of large-scale science fiction films?
Once successful, the benefits reaped are indeed extremely substantial.

But if it fails, "Shanghai Fortress" will be a lesson for us!
A movie directly caused the chairman to retire. Who dares to bet that they will become the second one?
In any case, Jiao Hongfen definitely wouldn't dare to do that.

He is currently sticking to the main theme, holding the two movies "My Fathers and Me" and "Peak Explosion", waiting for a wave of support after they are released.

However, there are still some stubborn people!

For example, Tencent Penguin Pictures took over the project of "Bureau 749".

Because it helped Weishi successfully attract a wave of traffic, the "749 Bureau" project is still of a high level within the company.

After all, with so much money invested, it’s impossible for the top management to turn a blind eye.

When CEO Sun Zhonghuai saw the popularity of "The Wandering Earth 2" soaring, he immediately called the manager in charge of the "749 Bureau" project and asked about the project progress.

The latter was not particularly clear about the matter because he had been busy with other projects recently, so after perfunctorily answering his leader, he hurriedly called Lu Chuan.

"Director Sun said that he hopes the film can be released next year. Is that okay with you?"

Although Lu Chuan was panicking, she still quickly responded, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem!"

However, as soon as he hung up the phone, he was like a deflated ball, completely collapsing in his chair, his heart full of despair.

Launching next year? This is simply a fantasy!
There has been no news from the special effects company that cooperated with Hollywood for a long time, and there is a high probability that they absconded with the money.

The progress of special effects production has stagnated. Under such circumstances, what can be put online?
Not to mention next year, even in two or three years, it may not be completed!

If he could successfully get the position of chief director of the Asian Games, he would have an excuse to continue delaying the progress of the film project.

After all, the preparations for the Asian Games are undoubtedly more important.

But right now, there is still no news from the Olympic Committee. No matter how many people we ask, all the responses are in vain.

Under this situation, he could only bite the bullet and continue to push forward the "749 Bureau" project.

But the problem is that there is a shortage of funds. How can a good cook without rice cook? "Are you really going to ask me to pay for it myself?"

Lu Chuan murmured to herself, feeling conflicted.

It's not that he doesn't have money. After all, Penguin Pictures has invested such a huge sum of money, so how could he not make a profit from it?
But the money was already in his pocket, so how could he be willing to take it out again?

"No, I can't pay. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Hollywood myself to see what's going on at the special effects company!"

Lu Chuan cursed inwardly, "Damn foreigners", then picked up his cell phone and started calling his newly hired secretary.

Before booking a plane ticket, he had to find out the progress of epidemic prevention and control abroad.

If it is safe, you can go, but if there are still so many uncontrollable patients, then you should wait a little longer.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, April is coming to an end.

The casting of "The Wandering Earth 2" has been successfully completed, and all preparatory matters are progressing steadily.

"Return from the South China Sea" still continues the "iron triangle" starring lineup, and the training of the protagonists and the casting of supporting roles are also carried out in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the casting process of "Parasite" is also going very smoothly.

After several rounds of auditions and repeated discussions between Chen Fei and Han Jianv, it was finally decided that Zhang Yi would play the leading male role, and his partner Zhou Xun would play the roles of the father and mother in a poor family.

This guy with small eyes has very solid acting skills and his ability to shape characters is also outstanding.

In addition, we have had a tacit cooperation with Feiyue Films for many years. As old partners and old friends, we will definitely be able to perform excellently.

Chen Fei still trusts him quite a lot.

The two key roles of the protagonist's children have been confirmed to be played by Peng Yuchang and Zhao Jinmai.

Both of them are co-actors of Feiyue Films. Their acting skills are good and their images are in line with the requirements of the characters in the script, so they passed the audition smoothly.

The only troublesome thing is that Peng Yuchang is currently filming "Miracle Stupid Kid", which will take about two months to complete.

The estimated start time of "Parasite" is mid-June.

This means that there is about half a month of overlapping shooting time between the two films, which must be coordinated well.

As for the coordination work, Chen Fei handed it over to Han Jianu.

It would be most appropriate to let her talk to Wen Muye!

"Aren't you afraid that they will quarrel?"

Seeing Han Jianu pick up her phone and go outside to call Wen Muye, Liu Yifei could not hide her worry.

If this causes a quarrel between young lovers, it will be a big trouble!

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Chen Fei's face was full of smiles.

Based on his understanding of Han Jianu and Wen Muye's personalities, it would be strange if they started arguing.

"How do you know that? What if..."

Before Liu Yifei finished her words, the door of the audition room was pushed open again, and Han Jianu, who had just been out for less than three minutes, walked in with a look of indifference.

"Done?" Fade Chen asked.

Han Jianv smiled confidently: "Well, it was done smoothly. He said he would adjust the shooting schedule and try to focus on filming Peng Yuchang's scenes first to ensure that it would not delay our start of filming."

"Is Director Wen so easy to talk to?" Liu Yifei was a little surprised.

Why did she remember that Wen Muye looked a bit fierce? And when he was assistant director for Chen Fei, he was also very strict with some staff members who made mistakes?

Why did he suddenly become reasonable after Han Jianuo called him?
"He dares not to agree to me? I will not be with him anymore!" Han Jianu snorted, very arrogantly.

"..."

At this moment, Liu Yifei seemed to see the scene where Wen Muche was suppressed by Han Jianu after marriage.

Putting aside other things, you can’t escape the nickname of “henpecked husband”!
Chen Fei laughed: "Okay, we can talk about topics unrelated to the audition later. Next is the role of the rich man's daughter. Are Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng here? Let them come in."

The assistant guarding the door replied "coming", then opened the door and walked out.

At the same time, in the outside world, the May Day period has officially begun!
Four movies including "Your Wedding", "Frozen 2" and "Run to the Sea" were released as scheduled.

On the other hand, several movies such as "Sweeping Black: The Decisive Battle", "Chasing Tigers and Catching Dragons", and "Secret Visitor" are also waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the morning.

At the same time, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "The Wrath of Man" suddenly announced that it will be released in mainland theaters on May 5.

The cinema market, which had been quiet for two months, has become hot again. It is so lively!
……

capital.

Bao Tang Film and Television Production Studio.

After watching the heated discussions online for a while, Wang Baoqiang retracted his gaze and turned his attention back to a script on the table.

Ever since the huge success of "Lost in Hong Kong", which he directed and starred in, he has been thinking about making another movie.

This time, he was not aiming to film someone else's script, but a story written by himself!

Because he is a "martial artist", after he came up with the idea of ​​creating his own work, he has been thinking about how to conceive the plot.

It wasn't until I accidentally noticed the "Fighting Orphans" incident that happened in 17 in the news that inspiration suddenly ignited like a spark!

During that period, Wang Baoqiang locked himself in the studio all day.

He collected a large amount of news reports, in-depth interviews and related legal materials about the "Fighting Orphans" incident.

With the help of these materials, he repeatedly pondered every detail of the incident, trying to dig out the complex entanglement of human nature and society behind the surface.

Sometimes when inspiration comes, he will hold the pen and write quickly on the manuscript paper. His handwriting is sloppy and straightforward but full of passion.

Sometimes when his thoughts came to a standstill, he would sit on the sofa with his computer in his arms, watching videos related to the incident over and over again, his mind full of obsession and thought.

In order to make the story more realistic and three-dimensional, he went to Daliangshan many times and went deep into the club that once took in "fighting orphans".

There, he ate and lived with the children, listened to their stories of pasts swept by fate, and saw the burning desire in their eyes as they sweated in the boxing ring.

The children's rough boxing gloves, worn-out training uniforms, and their bright smiles despite difficult situations were all recorded in the notebook he carried with him.

After returning to the studio, he would polish these materials repeatedly, transforming those heart-touching moments into vivid plots in the script.

In fact, the creative process is not always smooth.

Countless late nights, he often sat alone in the empty studio, falling into self-doubt in front of the screen full of words.

How should the character's personality be shaped so that it is both realistic and dramatic?
How can the conflicts in the story be set up to make it more tense?
These questions often made him frown.

But whenever he wanted to give up, the images of the children he saw in Liangshan would appear in his mind and inspire him to keep going.

After countless revisions and improvements, a script that carried his hard work and insights finally took shape!
At this moment, he looked at the script in his hand, his heart filled with excitement and nervousness.

The previous "Lost in Hong Kong" had a complete script and story framework, and there had already been successful cases, so he was able to draw on the experience of his predecessors and successfully complete the transition from "good actor to director".

But now this "Octagon Cage" is a story he created independently.

The five words "whether it can be successful" echoed in his mind all the time, and it had not faded away for a long time...

dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Wang Baoqiang responded without even turning his head: "Come in, the door is not locked."

The door was pushed open, and Tong Liya came in with her son and put the food for him on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot, be careful it gets cold."

"Okay." Wang Baoqiang nodded gently, then smiled and touched his son's head, "Did you listen to the teacher in school today?"

"Yes! The teacher even praised me for my excellent performance."

The son answered very obediently, which immediately made the smile on Wang Baoqiang's face even brighter.

"Okay, go play over there first and don't disturb Dad. Let him eat first."

Tong Liya first drove her son away, then opened the lunch box herself and took out the food she had brought for Wang Baoqiang.

"You have a bad stomach, you should eat on time and avoid staying up late..."

"Yeah, I know, don't worry."

While Wang Baoqiang was drinking porridge, the thought came to his mind: "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

Fortunately, when the female college student took the initiative to pursue him, he directly asked her to leave and not to get close to him. Otherwise, how could he have such a good wife and son now?
"Have you finished writing this script?"

While Wang Baoqiang was eating, Tong Liya picked up the script on the table and started reading.

"It's almost done. There are only some minor details left. I'll make some adjustments."

Hearing this, Tong Liya first praised her husband, "You are awesome!" and then asked curiously, "So how are you going to prepare for it? Do it yourself? Or do it with others?"

"Of course I'm joining forces with others. I can't afford such a large investment by myself."

Wang Baoqiang put down the bowl in his hand and said excitedly: "I am going to take the script I have written to Director Chen for his approval. If possible, I will bring Feiyue Film and Television to work together!"

"Director Chen?"

Tong Liya's eyes lit up, this was Wang Baoqiang and her benefactor!

Without Chen Fei, the two of them would definitely not have everything they have today.

"Then you better listen to him and don't be stubborn. He has more experience than you..."

"Don't worry about this. I may not listen to others, but I will definitely remember everything you and Director Chen said!"
