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

Chapter 1319 Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye…the chosen opponents!
"Dream of Splendor" and "Northern Drift Southward" suddenly came into conflict.

This situation was obviously not expected by both parties.

Because the official press releases for the two dramas were released less than five minutes apart, this was obviously decided in advance and can only be said to be a coincidence.

But now that it has happened, we must respond.

As the dusk deepened, the moonlight outside the study room poured in and scattered onto the promotional draft spread out in front of Liu Yifei.

She unconsciously stroked the edge of the poster of Dreams of Splendor with her fingertips, her eyes filled with worry that she couldn't hide: "Feng Xiaogang is in charge of The North Drift South, and the two dramas are only three days apart in release time, which will definitely have an impact."

Fade Chen gently placed the freshly brewed rose tea next to her and comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as we ensure the quality and publicity, it won't cause much impact."

Liu Yifei frowned slightly: "But the market is too volatile. Summer vacation is a big period, and so many TV dramas will be released. If the audience's attention is diverted..."

Before he finished speaking, Fade Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed both sides of her shoulders and squeezed them gently.

"The company has already launched a full-media promotion and marketing plan. We have reserved more than 40 hot search terms on TikTok and Weibo. Youku's homepage carousel and all-round promotion and marketing have all been implemented. Think about it yourself, can "North Drift South Turn" have such support?
Liu Yifei blinked, and her vision gradually became clear.

"That seems to be the case. iQiyi doesn't have as many promotional channels as we do."

"Right. So don't worry about completing it. Just follow the instructions and do what you are supposed to do. I have a feeling that this web drama by Feng Xiaogang will not cause any big stir."

This was actually not a premonition. It was mainly because in Chen Fei's memory, Feng Xiaogang had been completely down and out since the end of "Cell Phone 2".

As for this "North Drift South Turn", I don't even have any memory of such a thing.

Based on this, it goes without saying that this drama will not be a hit.

Otherwise, given iQiyi’s nature, wouldn’t they spread the final results all over the Internet and let everyone know about it?

Since there isn't any, it means that the show is definitely ruined.

"call!"

After being comforted by Chen Fei, Liu Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries in her heart dissipated a lot.

"Gold will always shine!" She clenched her fists, pouting, looking at the publicity draft on the table, and said seriously: "I have to work overtime tonight to review the publicity plan, and officially promote it from tomorrow.

This summer, I want to make "Dream of Red Mansions" shine throughout the film and television industry and suppress all competitors of the same period!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the pen, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and her starry eyes were fixed on the draft.

The long eyelashes cast a dense shadow like a butterfly's wings under the eyes, and the slightly drooping hair brushes across the cheeks, just like a kitten bathing in the silver moonlight.

Even the slightly pouted corners of his lips when he was concentrating on thinking revealed a cuteness and seriousness that made people smile knowingly.

Fade Chen did not make any sound, but just stayed beside her quietly, his eyes gently falling on her lowered face.

After waiting for a while, he went forward and replaced the cold tea with warm coffee, while adjusting the angle of the desk lamp to avoid reflections.

He used silent actions to weave a dense protective net, allowing her, who was concentrating on her work, to feel the firm and warm power behind her without words!
At the same time, Feng Xiaogang was also preparing for the launch of "Northern Drift Southward".

Originally, he regarded this drama as a transition from the low point in his life, but he never expected that such a powerful opponent would suddenly appear.

Although "Dream of Splendor" is a costume drama and "Northern Drift South" is a modern drama, the two have different audience groups.

But the problem now is that the two dramas were released too close to each other.

This means that the media will definitely make comparisons from all aspects at that time.

If that side loses, it will be a huge loss of face!

Not to mention anything else, the simple sentence "Feng Xiaogang's new drama suffered a reputational failure" was enough to make him feel ashamed.

At the same time, the screenwriting work of "If You Are the One 3" cannot be neglected.

He is still waiting to recreate the "glory" of being a director in previous years.

…………

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

On May 5, "Stand by Me Doraemon" and the Hollywood imported blockbuster "A Quiet Place 28" both hit theaters.

The former had a first-day box office of 2536 million, while the latter had a box office of 2869 million.

Both failed!

On the contrary, "Your Wedding" ushered in the first round of key extension announcements, and the leading actress Zhang Ruonan also became very popular because of her "first love face".

During the entire May Day period, only this movie had a total box office of over 10 billion yuan. As for the other movies, they all stopped before 5 million yuan, which is really regrettable.

At the same time, several other young actresses born after 95 seemed unwilling to be suppressed by Zhang Ruonan, a rising star, and started to make new moves.

"The costume/romance drama "A Female Disciple Came to the Imperial College", produced by Shanghai Tencent Penguin Films, directed by Xu Peishan, and starring Zhao Lusi and Xu Kaicheng, has officially been announced to be released on September 9."

"Penguin Pictures and Xixi Pictures jointly announced that the costume TV series "Who Rules the World", directed by Yin Tao, starring Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi, and co-starring Zhang Fengyi and Li Ruotong, officially started filming today."

"Yu Shuxin officially announced the new variety show "Super Fun Skiing Conference" and will go to Hollywood to complete the dubbing for the animated film "My Little Pony: A New Era."

"Zhang Xueying officially announced her new drama "Unrequited Love in the South."

"Li Gengxi's new dramas "A Beautiful Moon Over Flowers" and "Our New Era" are about to be aired, and the Winter Olympics-themed TV series "Beyond" starring Hu Jun and Sha Yi has officially been announced to be aired on CCTV-1's prime time..."

"The promotional poster for Zhou Ye's new film "Chinese Doctor" has been released, and the film "Railway Heroes" co-starring with Zhang Hanyu will be released on November 11."

"..."

After a round of looking, Chen Fei found that the ones with the best resources among the post-95 young actresses seem to be Li Gengxi and Zhou Ye, who have the support of big stars.

As for those who work alone or join an agency, since they still need to compete with other people in the company, their resource quality is undoubtedly inferior.

Some people seem to be trying to make up for quality with quantity.

For example, Zhao Ruth.

For several days in a row, I was busy with movies, TV series, and variety shows, which almost filled my schedule!

"No wonder you're depressed. With this level of work intensity, if you're not depressed, who would be?"

In addition, there is another person who takes the black and red route.

Mencius’s idea!
This girl is quite interesting. She starred in Ever Night, The Untamed, and Actor Please Take Your Place...

Anyway, every time she stars in a drama or records a variety show, she will gain a large number of black fans who will scold her, but the number of her loyal fans is pitifully small.

In fact, Chen Fei felt that she was quite wronged.

Because when he visited the set of "Snow Swordsman" before, he had a pretty good impression of this girl.

I just don't know why there are so many people bashing her online?

"Is it just because of that green tea face?"

Chen Fei was muttering to himself when he saw a message from Han Jianu.

That was a complete cast list from the "Parasite" crew.

From directors and producers to actors and logistics, all personnel have been fully equipped without any omissions.

Fade Chen read it carefully from top to bottom, nodded with satisfaction, and replied: "Pick a suitable time to announce it. The filming will start soon."

"it is good."

Han Jianu replied with an "ok" expression and continued to work.

The last two days of May were spent on Weibo hot searches.

One of the news was that top idol Wu Yifan was exposed to have booked a theater to watch a movie with a mysterious woman.

This is not just a rumor without any basis!

Because along with this news came out, there was also a video suspected to be recorded by cinema staff showing two people entering the theater at the same time.

Netizens have no other abilities, but their level of collecting information and opening other people's boxes is quite high.

Soon, the girl’s identity was exposed. She turned out to be the 19-year-old internet celebrity “Xiaoyi”!
But then, Wu Yifan's studio responded that the video was a malicious editing, and that it was actually Wu Yifan and his friends going to the cinema together. They also said that the cinema had seriously violated personal privacy and did not rule out the possibility of legal proceedings. While the storm was not over, the incident about Zheng Shuang came to the fore.

Late that night, she suddenly responded to the surrogacy issue through her personal Weibo and apologized sincerely.

At the same time, she also stated that she did not receive 1.6 million yuan in film remuneration, answered a number of controversial online questions, and called out to her ex-boyfriend: "Please ask Mr. Zhang Heng to stop harassing me!"

But on the very next day, all of his personal accounts, his studio’s and Weibo Affairs Department’s related accounts were blocked.

At the same time, Prada announced on its official Weibo that it had terminated all cooperation with Zheng Shuang.

Subsequently, the official Weibo account of Zhiyouquan Cosmetics also announced the termination of the contract with the company.

Next, the British women's watch brand Lola Rose also announced that it had sent a "Notice of Termination" to Zheng Shuang, terminating all brand cooperation relationships.

The official Weibo accounts of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Modern Weekly, which had previously collaborated with Zheng Shuang, also deleted their cover content.

The Huading Awards Organizing Committee also announced through its official Weibo account that it had revoked Zheng Shuang's honorary titles including "Best Actress in Chinese Modern and Contemporary TV Series at the 19th Huading Awards" and "Top Ten TV Stars Most Beloved by National Audiences at the 13th Huading Awards".

At this point, this female star, once hailed as the number one flower of the 90s, has been completely abandoned by the domestic entertainment industry.

It is absolutely impossible for her to "make a comeback". Not to mention whether the law allows it or not, the things she has done are enough to be banned from the entertainment industry more than a hundred times!
……

June arrived as expected.

On Children's Day, including re-screened films, a total of 15 new movies were released that day.

It’s a pity that such a large number of movies failed to boost the market’s popularity.

On the contrary, on the 2nd, several movies scheduled for the May Day period withdrew.

"The crime/action film "Sweeping Black: The Decisive Battle", co-produced by iQiyi and China Film Group, starring Jiang Wu, Zhang Songwen, and Jin Shijia, has accumulated a box office of 4.65 million yuan."

"The crime/action film "Chasing Tigers and Catching Dragons", produced by Erdong Pictures and directed by Wang Jing, starring Louis Koo, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Francis Ng, has accumulated a box office of 2.79 million yuan."

"The suspense/crime film "Secret Visitor", jointly produced by New Classics Media, Alibaba and Tencent Film, starring Aaron Kwok, Duan Yihong and Zhang Zifeng, has accumulated a box office of 2.37 million yuan."

Chen Fei was currently taking his wife and son to play in the "Ready Player One Theme Park" in Shanghai when he suddenly received a call from Wang Changtian.

As soon as he got through the phone, he heard Wang Changtian gloating, "All three movies released during the May Day holiday lost money, especially Secret Visitors produced by New Classics and Alibaba, which lost the most!"

"Oh? How many?"

Chen Fei asked curiously, but his eyes fell on Liu Yifei who was taking a photo with his son in front of the Big Bear and Little Bear dolls.

"The investment cost alone was as high as 2 million, and the total box office was only 2.37 million. You can calculate how much they lost."

"Wow! All the money was lost?"

"It even cost a lot of money."

"Tsk tsk, this is even faster than burning money."

"That's right, the film market is becoming increasingly difficult!"

After chatting for a while, when Wang Changtian learned that Chen Fei had actually gone out to play with the children, he immediately hung up the phone and did not disturb him any further.

However, just as he ended the call, he saw a new announcement on Weibo about the movie’s release date.

"The crime action blockbuster "Raging Fire" jointly produced by Golden Harvest Films and Yinghuang Films, distributed by Feiyue Films, directed by Chen Long, and starring Zhao Wenzhuo, Nicholas Tse, and Jing Tian has released a release date trailer, announcing that it will be released nationwide on July 7 during the summer vacation..."

A new powerful player has joined the summer vacation season!
Theater managers were cheering, but the film and television companies were wailing and cursing.

Especially Ali!
Fan Luyuan just announced some time ago that a youth-themed movie produced by his own company, "Summer of Future", will be scheduled for release on July 7.

But unexpectedly, "Raging Fire" also followed, and it is also scheduled for July 7th.

Isn't this intentional?
Compared with "Raging Fire", wouldn't "Summer of Future" have come to an end before it even went online?

However, before his colleagues in the industry had time to curse, "Parasite" came!

On June 6, Feiyue Film and Television’s official Weibo account officially released the announcement.

"The reality-themed drama "Parasite", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, has successfully completed the casting of all actors today.

The film will be produced and supervised by director Chen Fei, directed by Han Jianv, and co-starred by Zhang Yi, Chen Fei, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei, Peng Yuchang, Zhao Jinmai, Zhang Jingyi and others.

It tells the story of the poor Yin Shichang family, "parasitic" on the wealthy Pan Liyuan family. Through the different life attitudes and values ​​of the two families, it shows the differences and conflicts between different social classes..."

boom! ! !
When this press release was released, many netizens who had previously regarded "Parasite" as a science fiction film came to their senses.

"Okay! What a misunderstanding! I thought it was a science fiction movie, but it turned out to be an art film?!"

"Fuck! How did they get the casting done without saying anything? Director Chen is going to be an actor again?"

"Zhang Yi, Chen Fei, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei... Wow, this is a full cast of best actor and actress!"

"And my sister Zhao Jinmai, Peng Yuchang, Zhang Jingyi, wow, they are all talented."

"Let's put everything else aside, this cast is really amazing. I'm afraid they're aiming for a big award, right?"

There were constant heated discussions online, and many of his fellow actors in the circle looked at the draft in shock, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

You know, there has been no news about this project since it was made public.

So many people think that this may be an unresolved project and it will take a long time before it is officially launched.

But no one expected that the project had already been secretly prepared!
And looking at the cast and the subject matter, it's obvious that this film is aiming for awards.

For a time, many people in the circle began to complain that Feiyue Films was too cunning!

In order to conceal the news, they even kept the audition process secret and conducted the entire process in secret. Isn't this too much?
"If I knew about this kind of role in advance, I would definitely rush to get it as soon as possible."

At Hesong Media, Li Bingluo looked at the news online and looked very annoyed.

Although she is currently in a semi-retired and transitioning state, it does not mean that she has completely abandoned her identity as an actor.

For example, she agreed to co-star with Feng Shaofeng in "Ordinary Heroes" as soon as Bona invited her.

If we miss this opportunity to create a mainstream masterpiece, wouldn’t it be a benefit to others?

The same goes for "Parasite". If she had known about it in advance, she would definitely give it a try.

With her relationship with Chen Fei, it would definitely be possible for her to ask for an audition opportunity.

It’s a pity that compared with the relationship between Zhou Xun and Feiyue Film and Television, her side is still far behind.

Thinking of this, Li Bingqiao suddenly became restless.

"Xiaoye."

She called out to Zhou Ye who was standing in front of her, and said, "Next, I will try my best to push you to Feiyue Films to see if you can get a suitable role.

As long as you can cooperate once, you will be linked to Feiyue Films and have the opportunity to cooperate for the second or even third time, understand?"

"Yes, okay, Sister Bingqiao, I will try my best."

Zhou Ye nodded hurriedly in response.

At the beginning of this year, the TV series "Word of Honor" starring her was aired and achieved very good results, and she took this opportunity to become a hit.

But as she became increasingly popular, many media began to compare her with Zhang Jingyi.

The two look so similar, especially from a certain angle, they look like twins.

But this also means that from now on, the two will probably have to fight a few times.

Standing behind them are all big stars, only one year apart in age, and both graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.

This is simply the chosen opponent!
However, Zhang Jingyi has better resources than her Hesong Media because she has the support of Feiyue Film and Television.

He made his debut in "Where the Wind Goes", and partnered with Peng Yuchang in "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy"... Now he has got a role in a big production project like "Parasite", and his partners are all movie kings and movie queens...

The other party was running quite fast, so she had to speed up to catch up!
