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

Chapter 1325 Yang Mi is disobedient?
There was a lot of heated discussion online, and many people instantly became curious about the upcoming opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

According to information revealed by the organizing committee, Zhang Yimou's Winter Olympics opening ceremony will feature a "heavy", "brilliant" and "epic" style.

Chen Fei's style is "special effects", "technology" and "combination of ancient and modern".

What kind of contrast will there be between the two, and what kind of shock will it bring to global audiences... Everyone is looking forward to it!

At the same time, with the official announcement of the chief director of the Asian Games, Lu Chuan was completely desperate.

But this time he learned his lesson and didn't smash anything in the office. After all, if he broke something, he would have to pay for new things himself.

The key issue is that he may need a large sum of money next time, so every penny must be used wisely.

boom--

He closed his laptop with force, looked at his new secretary, and said in a deep voice, "Have you bought the plane ticket?"

"I've already bought it, Mr. Lu."

The new female secretary is well-behaved and obedient, much better than the previous one who always liked to talk back.

Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction, stood up, took a deep breath and exhaled, "Let's go, take me to the airport."

After two years of consideration, he finally decided to fly to America in person to see what the situation was over there.

I have clearly transferred all my money and the epidemic is almost over, so why hasn’t the special effects company started work yet?

Where did those foreigners go with their money?
Penguin Pictures has been urging "Bureau 749" to be released as soon as possible, but it has to be delayed again and again because the special effects have not been completed.

But dragging it on like this is not a solution!
Sooner or later, big problems will arise!
Now that the position of chief director of the Asian Games has been taken away by Chen Fei, he no longer has any excuse or reason to delay it any further and can only bite the bullet and complete the post-production of "Game 749".

He had to go on this trip to the United States! He couldn't not go!
He had arranged for quite a few people to go there before, but they were all turned away.

So, this time he planned to enter the village quietly without firing any guns.

He wanted to see what the special effects company was all about.

Lu Chuan set off, while on the other side, Brother Chen Kai, whose plan was not selected, devoted himself to the post-production of "Flowers in the Dust".

It had been a long time since he had tasted the feeling of being beaten back in large numbers, but this also made him more determined in his belief!

The bureau considers that works that are too explicit are only suitable for film festivals.

Now he just has to wait for it to pass the review so that he can take his work to the film festival.

At the next Cannes Film Festival, he will definitely win the Palme d'Or!

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang was leading the team to promote his new web drama "North Drift South Turn".

Seeing that the new drama will be launched in less than a week and will soon compete with "Dream of Red Mansions", he is still very nervous.

It's okay if you win, but it would be really embarrassing if you lose.

After recording a talk show, Feng Xiaogang suddenly looked at his assistant and asked, "When was Dreams of Hualu released?"

Know thyself, ever-victorious!
He plans to taste the quality of this rival drama first.

Without thinking, the assistant blurted out, "Director Feng, log on to the Youku platform at 7:30 tomorrow night on time."

The female assistant is a fan of Liu Yifei's beauty and dramas, so she remembers the launch time of "Dream of Red Mansions" very clearly.

Although she was in Cao's camp, her heart was in Han's camp.

While answering Feng Xiaogang's question, she was still thinking, "The popularity of Dreams of Splendor is so high, how can you win?"

"Oh, I know."

Feng Xiaogang didn't know what his assistant was thinking, he just thought about watching it on time tomorrow night.

But at the same time, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart!
Why?
Why is it that a big director like me has fallen to the point of filming web dramas and has to worry about being suppressed in popularity?

Hua Yi's downfall seemed to have sucked away all the good luck in his first half of life!

……

The crew of "Parasite".

Just after seeing Huang Xiaoming off, Chen Fei received a WeChat message from Liu Yifei.

"Please help me repost this Weibo, the new drama will be online tomorrow night, and I feel like it's not popular enough."

Not high enough?!
Chen Fei was a little amused.

The top three hot searches on Weibo are all about "Dream of Dreams". There are 10 promotional videos of "Dream of Dreams" in the top 4 of Douyin's entertainment list. Major video commentary bloggers have released promotional videos and jokes. Youku even gave it a splash screen promotion...

This is already the publicity and promotion treatment for a 30 billion-level movie, it simply cannot be higher!

But, I still have to listen to my wife.

So, Chen Fei silently clicked on Liu Yifei's Weibo, forwarded her new Weibo to himself, and added a caption: "Friends, please forward this for my wife, thank you."

Within a minute, the pop-up window started jumping wildly!
Huang Xiaoming has been transferred, Wang Baoqiang has been transferred, Ning Hao has been transferred, Liu Shishi has been transferred, Jing Tian has been transferred, Zhou Xun has been transferred, Tang Yan has been transferred, Shu Chang has been transferred, Zhao Liying has been transferred, Yang Mi has been transferred...

Half an hour later, the topic #Help Director Chen’s wife repost Weibo# quickly became the top search topic.

"Hahahaha! You two are hilarious. It's just a promotion for a new drama, but why did you mobilize half of the entertainment industry's connections?"

Han Jianu covered her mouth and giggled.

Chen Fei had just finished filming a scene and got his cell phone, so he was very confused.

Weibo has exploded!

What Han Jianuo said is not an exaggeration at all, because really half of the stars in the entertainment industry have emerged!
Even Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbin, two big stars who hadn't been active for a long time, came out and helped to repost it.

Even many young actresses helped to repost the post with a "honored" attitude.

The most important thing is that even Zhang Yimou took the time to repost the video using his studio account despite his busy schedule, and also added a carefully written promotional slogan.

"The curling tea smoke depicts the fireworks of the world, and the elegance of the Song Dynasty composes the legend of women. Let's watch "Dream of Hualu" write the long song of counterattack of Tokyo women!"

This is outrageous!
Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that he should be more careful about the content of his Weibo posts in the future.

He really didn't expect that so many people would show up to help forward it...

"Ding-dong-"

A WeChat message popped up.

Liu Yifei: "I love you, husband, muah~"

Worth it!

At this moment, Chen Fei instantly strengthened his inner belief.

As long as my wife is happy, everything is worth it!
……

Jiaxing.

"Yang Mi? Why did you forward it too?"

Zeng Jia was almost going crazy. What was wrong with this guy? Why was he promoting for a competitor?

"What's wrong? It's my own Weibo account, can't I control it? I just posted a Weibo, why is there such a big reaction?"

Facing Zeng Jia's questioning, Yang Mi seemed very calm.

She and Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Liying, Shu Chang and others are indeed competitors, but they are not mortal enemies.

It's time to fight, it's time to help.

What's more, so many people have sent it, and everyone's purpose is to curry favor with Chen Fei, so she is naturally no exception.

Leave a good impression on the great director, maybe there will be an opportunity for cooperation in the future.

"Don't you consider how your fans will react? Your "The Legend of the Pearl Lady" will be released in the second half of the year!"

"So what? It's only in the second half of the year, not right now. There's no competition between Lady Pearl and Dream of the Red Chamber."

After that, she stood up and walked out, not forgetting to make arrangements: "I'm going to shoot a commercial. It's okay with the fans. I can just find a few fan leaders to appease them. Isn't it okay to just treat this as a joke?"

Before she finished her words, she had disappeared out the door.

In the office, Zeng Jia's eyelids twitched. While cursing inwardly, he had to arrange for someone to clean up Yang Mi's mess.

At the same time, the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

When did it all start? Why did she feel that Yang Mi had begun to "disobey discipline"?
"Something's wrong, this is not a good sign!"

Zeng Jia murmured something and fell into deep thought.

…………After a night, it is officially July 7th.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, "Chinese Doctor", directed by Liu Weiqiang and promoted for a long time by Bona, China Film, Huaying and Alibaba Pictures, officially entered the domestic theaters.

Although the popularity has been suppressed a lot, on the first day of its release, the film’s screening schedule was still scheduled to 45.7%.

This is the advantage of not having any competitors at the same time, you can completely dominate the market.

If the quality of the film is good enough, it may even be able to emulate "Boundary Breaker" when the epidemic just ended and earn more than 50 billion yuan at the box office!

however……

"The main theme now is not a movie in essence. It is a feature film-style re-enactment with film industry-level investment. It is useless to discuss its drama performance scheduling. This kind of work should be viewed with the standards of reportage."

"It's magical. The epidemic is clearly not over yet, but watching the scenes on the screen, it seems like it happened in the last century."

"I think it's not as good as 1921. On the surface, this movie praises the dedication of medical staff, but in reality it's just praising the wise leadership."

"It's two hours long, but the narrative rhythm is scattered, the characters are drowned out by slogans, the sadness is overshadowed by victory, and the word 'reflection' cannot be found in the dictionary of the main theme... What is this? A new model opera?"

"Main theme movies should not be the secret to wealth! I am really going to vomit after watching them!"

"It's just crying, it's just deliberately sensational! I'm speechless, what I want to see is not shown."

Throughout the morning, Chen Fei noticed that whether it was long or short comments online, almost all of them were complaints.

But by the afternoon, everything turned into singing and dancing.

This is very "main theme".

Han Jianv murmured as she drank the coffee Wen Muye bought her, "I feel like movie fans are almost losing interest in mainstream movies. Many mainstream movies released in recent years have not received very good reviews, and are far inferior to Wolf Warrior, Operation Mekong, and Operation Red Sea..."

Fade Chen shrugged: "Visual fatigue."

"what?"

"There is serious homogeneity, and content creation has completely become routine. If this continues for a long time, it will naturally be gradually eliminated by the market; just like the youth-themed movies in the past, under the impact of large quantities and homogeneity, they will definitely decline uncontrollably."

Han Jianu widened her eyes slightly: "What should we do? Your movie "Changjin Lake"..."

"Innovation!" Chen Fei interrupted, "Only by constantly innovating the narrative method, focusing on the authenticity and complexity of character creation, and closely combining the grand theme with individual emotions can the main theme continue to move forward."

Han Jianu felt a little dizzy after hearing this.

She didn't have a deep understanding of the subject of the main theme, so when she listened to Chen Fei's words, she just felt dizzy.

Wen Muye on the side said, "It has to meet the needs of the times? Arouse widespread emotional resonance?"

"That's right. The main theme conveys an emotion. Only by ensuring high quality and meeting the needs of the audience can it be truly recognized, such as the most typical example, Wolf Warrior 2."

At this point, Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are! Listen to this sentence, how passionate it is!"

"But I see there are a lot of haters online..."

"You listen to them? Then you are stupid! The box office results speak for themselves. Some people can't sit still, or feel that life doesn't live up to their fantasy standards, so they will naturally try to stir up trouble. Those who stir up trouble are just walking 50 people."

Han Jianu: ???

"Who said I listened to them? How am I stupid? I just don't understand this aspect. Isn't it okay for me to be curious?"

Seeing that she was anxious, Chen Fei immediately made an excuse to "touch up his makeup" and quickly left.

"Actually, what Director Chen meant was..." Wen Muye wanted to continue explaining science to Han Jianv.

But the next second, he suddenly felt a chill in the air.

How could it be cold in July?

Turned his head and looked.

Oh, it turns out that Han Jianyu had a cold face.

Huh? No! Why is she so cold?
Wen Muye's eyelids twitched wildly, and he was almost in despair. "Director Chen! Why did you tease her? You turned around and ran away, but I can't run away!"

……

At 6 pm, the filming of "Parasite" today was successfully completed.

"After dinner, everyone, remember to watch "Dream of the Red Chamber" and support the new drama produced by Yifei."

Zhou Xun was shouting loudly, which triggered cheers from the crew.

In this situation, Fade Chen naturally had to say nothing, and immediately added with a smile: "Yifei is not in the crew today, so let me express her gratitude on her behalf. I will treat everyone to milk tea."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and sent a big red envelope directly to the group.

After a while of commotion, the time quickly came to 7:.

"Dream of Red Mansions" was launched as scheduled and was available on the Youku platform.

There are 40 episodes in total, each episode is 45 minutes long, and 6 episodes will be updated on the first night!
Youku doesn’t have any fancy operation mode called “advanced on-demand”. Ordinary users can unlock 3 episodes, and VIP users can unlock all episodes. The main point is that it’s reliable!
At this time, in the office of Dongyang Mela Pictures, Feng Xiaogang was watching "Dream of Red Mansions" in front of the computer.

As soon as the first episode started, he sat up straight unconsciously.

The Song Dynasty street scenes in the drama were shot very delicately and vividly. The craftsmanship of making tea in the teahouse and the difficulties the protagonists faced in making a living looked very real.

The rivalry between Jing Tian and Chen Xiao is also tense, and the emotions between the characters are very captivating.

As he watched, he was calculating in his mind.

It's obvious that a lot of effort was put into the costumes and props of this drama, and the rhythm of the plot is also very well controlled. No wonder so many people were looking forward to it before it aired.

But as he watched, he couldn't help but frown, thinking about the web drama "North Drift South" directed by himself which would be online in 3 days, and he felt worried.

When preparing for this drama, he wanted to shoot a group portrait of urban women, but now it seems that compared with "Dream of Red Mansions", it seems to lack something eye-catching.

Although the cast seems good at the moment, it cannot be compared with "Dream of Red Mansions" at all.

The most important thing is that he is not sure whether he can capture the hearts of the audience like "Dream of Red Mansions".

The film and television market has changed too fast in recent years, and audiences' tastes have become more and more sophisticated. If "Northern Drift Southward" receives a mediocre response after its broadcast, and its reputation and popularity cannot keep up, it will be a big trouble.

He rubbed his temple with his hand, staring at the computer screen, his heart full of anxiety.

……

After a night, it was November 7th.

Early in the morning, the media reported the performance of "Chinese Doctor" and "Dream of Red Mansions" which were launched yesterday.

There is also "1921", which was also pulled out for comparison!
"The single-day box office was 963 million... 1921 was released less than 10 days ago, and the box office is in decline. The glorious era of mainstream movies has come to an end."

"On its first day of release yesterday, the main theme movie "Chinese Doctor" directed by Liu Weiqiang and starring Zhang Hanyu and Yuan Quan closed at 1.13 million yuan, and word of mouth showed a polarized trend."

“The premiere data of Dreams of Splendor performed very well, demonstrating its strong appeal and popularity.

首播当日累计播放量突破4亿，首播4小时播放量达7000万；豆瓣开分8.6，为2021年国产剧豆瓣开分作品No.1。

At the same time, after the show was aired last night, its popularity reached its peak at 21:15.2, with over 143 new discussions in a single hour, 731 billion readings of the topic on Weibo, and million discussions.

On the first day of broadcast, the Weibo index peaked at 1093 million, and Youku popularity exceeded 10000, reaching the top level of domestic dramas in 2021! "

I'm angry!

As expected, "Dream of Splendor" became a hit.

Liu Yifei is the producer, Jing Tian, ​​Shu Chang, and Zhao Liying are the leading actors, and the four famous golden flowers of Feiyue Film and Television are working together!

With this lineup, the drama naturally carries extremely high popularity.

In addition, Chen Fei also took action to promote the drama by bringing along most of the celebrities in the entertainment industry, which further boosted the popularity of the drama.

Coupled with its high level of quality, it is no wonder that it is so popular!

"I only have one thing to say: Dreams of Splendor has created a new height for ancient puppet dramas in the domestic entertainment industry!"

"The heroine has both high IQ and EQ. She looks weak but is strong at heart. She is a woman who has to rise and fall in troubled times but remains neither humble nor overbearing. This is a good story and a good character setting."

"Hey? It's really weird? Jing Tian's acting is terrible in other crews, but why does it seem like she's acting so well here at Feiyue Film and Television?"

"The costumes, props, lighting, and shooting angles are all very particular, and the original lines and faces are a bonus. Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, quickly throw your "Shangyang Fu" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" aside."

"I didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so good at being a producer now. Is she going to follow Chen Hong's path? Will she only be a producer in the future? Will she gradually give up the career of an actor?"

There is an endless stream of heated discussions online, but Feng Xiaogang and iQiyi are facing a formidable enemy!

The opponent is too strong.

Can they withstand it?
