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

Chapter 1327: 7 years after returning to China, everything finally became a dream!

In the blink of an eye, a week passed quickly.

As "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Bei Zhe Nan Yuan" officially enter the data growth period, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger!

The former has a popularity of over 10,000, and has laid the foundation for becoming a "hit drama".

The latter's popularity remained in the range of 6000 to 8000, and it can be considered a normal hit drama at best.

Although it has a poor reputation, it is at least Feng Xiaogang's debut web drama, so it is still popular.

IQiyi will definitely not lose out!
What’s at stake is Feng Xiaogang’s personal reputation as a director.

Since “Cell Phone 2”, a series of his works have all been failures, almost destroying the reputation he has accumulated over the years.

Perhaps God didn't want to see him being completely drowned by the netizens' saliva, so at this critical moment, the shield jumped out.

——Chris Wu brand shield!
Similar to the previous arrests of many celebrities, this time the announcement was still issued by the Chaoyang District police.

The announcement clearly stated that Wu Moumou was criminally detained by the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law on suspicion of rape.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet was shocked!

What is Feng Xiaogang? What is "Northern Drift Southward"? How can it be more interesting than the top young actor being arrested?
"Oh? Look at this crow's mouth. Last month he posted on Weibo that if you make a mistake you will go to jail. This month it came true. He is indeed a top star. His words are his bond."

"No! My brother would never do such a thing! This is not true! It must be a false accusation!"

"What official announcement? Sisters! Let's go together! Charge at it!"

"This Chinese-Canadian artist is done for. I am so fed up with him."

"No wonder when we went to the Mushroom House, Lu Han burst out laughing when he heard Wu Yifan say that he felt 'lonely'. Actually, he knew it a long time ago, but it was inconvenient to say it."

Since the arrest has been approved, it naturally means that the matter is true.

Otherwise, the authorities would not dare to issue such an arrest warrant so easily against an artist with a wide influence.

"This guy is finished." Chen Fei looked at the news, curled his lips, and made a prediction.

"Will capital not save him?" Liu Yifei thought of what happened in 16 again.

"It's impossible to save him. The incident is too serious and he is not willing to spend money to settle the matter. No one can save him."

When a whale dies, all things come to life. This is the norm in the entertainment industry.

So in the next few days, just like the young man at the beginning of the year, Wu Moufan was completely abandoned by all the major brands.

Hansu, Good (Evil) Products Shop, Yunting App, Liby, Ziyuan, Debao, Lancome, Vantage, Tencent Video, Porsche, Louis Vuitton...

The endorsements that could bring him nearly 3 million yuan in pre-tax income a year have all been abandoned by him.

At the same time, major official organizations, film festivals, entertainment regulatory departments, etc. immediately listed him among the "bad artists".

In terms of film and television dramas, works such as "There is a Place Only We Know", "Summer Is Coming", "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back", "Mr. Six", "Jade Dynasty 1", and "Jade Dynasty 2" have all been taken off the shelves!
包括综艺《中国有嘻哈》、《中国新说唱2018》、《潮流合伙人第1季》、《挑战者联盟第1季》、《七十二层奇楼》、《向往的生活3》第7和8期、《快乐大本营》等，全部下架。

His main business, namely his music works, have been removed from major music platforms such as QQ Music and NetEase Cloud Music.

After 7 years of returning to China, everything finally became a dream!

Even though the fans cried and screamed, it was of no use.

In addition, because of his breach of contract, he had to pay sky-high liquidated damages to major brands!
In other words, it is very likely that more than half of the money earned over the years will be lost!

At Dongyang Mela Pictures, Feng Xiaogang was in a very complicated mood.

He was very "grateful" to Wu Yifan because the other party had attracted all the attention of those who were paying attention to the failure of "North Drift South Turn".

But at the same time, he also hated Wu Yifan very much!
You know, "Mr. Six" is the most proud work of his life. Not only did he enjoy filming it, he also enjoyed acting in it.

But because of Wu Yifan, "Old Cannon" is completely gone.

He specifically asked his friends in the circle and learned that this movie has absolutely no chance of being released unless it is re-edited and all the scenes involving the character "Xiao Fei" are cut out.

What the hell is this?

Everything was cut and the movie is ruined!
Someone actually gave him a suggestion: "You can reshoot it!"

But after listening to the message, Feng Xiaogang deleted all the messages from the other party.

Remake?

Where did he get the money?
Isn't this a joke?

He was still cursing, while Zhou Xingchi on the other side completely collapsed!
Because "Mermaid 2" is over!
He has just completed all the post-production work and is waiting to release the film in theaters to make a huge profit at the box office.

But now, the male lead has become a low-quality artist and has been banned by the entire Internet.

What kind of theaters are these?

Several years of hard work were all wasted in an instant.

Fortunately, when we were filming "The Mermaid", we listened to Chen Fei's advice and did not include the interview scene with Wu Yifan at the very end.

Otherwise, "The Mermaid 1" will also be scrapped!
But "The Monkey King 2" could not be saved at all. He just searched it but couldn't find any trace of it on any major video websites.

"what!!!"

He finally couldn't hold it in any longer and uttered a desperate wail: "It's over! It's all over!"

Ever since he got involved with Huayi Company, he found that all his good luck seemed to have disappeared, and he was hit with bad luck one after another.

Now, Huayi is gone, Wu Yifan is gone, and all the efforts have been wasted.

What should I do next?
Looking ahead, the road ahead is simply confusing...

At the same time, at China Film Group Corporation, Jiao Hongfen’s office was also dead silent.

"Peak Explosion" has been completed, and the post-production of "My Fathers and I" has also been successfully concluded while shooting and editing.

Everything is fine, there is no problem, just waiting to be released in theaters to make box office money.

But now, the hundreds of millions of dollars invested in Zhou Xingchi for the post-production of "The Mermaid 2" have all gone down the drain.

How to make up for this bad debt?
How should I report this to my superiors?

The sky outside the window had darkened at some point, and the neon lights shone diagonally into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting alternating light and dark shadows on Jiao Hongfen's face.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of the distribution department.

"We must step up the promotion of "Peak Explosion" and "My Fathers and Me" and add another 20 million to the budget!"

Hearing this, a hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone: "But Director Jiao, the promotion of these two films is based on the normal rhythm..."

"If I say add more, then add more!" Jiao Hongfen suddenly raised his voice, and the sound of electricity in the receiver trembled. "No matter what method is used, these two films must be successful and sell well!"

After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in his seat, crunching the data in his mind.

"Peak Explosion" has talented actors like Zhu Yilong and Huang Zhizhong in the lead roles, and disaster films also have a certain audience in the market, so the box office should not be bad.

"My Fathers and Me" is backed by the "Me and My" series of IPs, and has a strong lineup of directors including Shen Teng, Zhang Ziyi, and Huang Xiaoming, so the box office is guaranteed.

But even if both movies are box office hits, filling the financial black hole of "The Mermaid 2" will still be as difficult as scooping out the ocean with a spoon.

"Oh, right! There's also 'On the Cliff'!"

Jiao Hongfen's eyes lit up. If this movie, which was to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday, was included, the bad debts should be offset.

However, the premise of all this is that these movies can be successful at the box office!

"My Fathers and I will be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival, focusing on family reunions and avoiding the impact of the National Day. On the Cliff will be released during the Lunar New Year, and with Zhang Yimou's popularity, it will definitely get high box office. If Peak Explosion doesn't work, it will be released during the National Day, focusing on disasters and avoiding competition with The Battle at Lake Changjin..."

As the night deepened, Jiao Hongfen made his final plan.

But even so, he still felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.

It would be fine if everything went as he imagined, but if it failed, it would be completely over!
On the other hand, in the crew of "Fang Hua", which had been filming for eight months, Wang Jiawei let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was wise enough not to choose Wu Yifan to play the role of "Abao".

Otherwise, wouldn’t all the hard work now be in vain?
Although he has been scolded by Wu Yifan's fans for this, he is now very happy! "Go ahead and scold me! Go ahead and scold me! Even if I have to choose again, Wu Yifan will never appear in my "Flower City". Hahahahaha, so cool!"

……

The entertainment industry in July seemed to have been fast-forwarded, with the heat changing like the tides.

Time quickly came to the end of the month.

Under the deliberate suppression of the authorities, the online popularity about Wu Yifan lasted for a while and then gradually dissipated.

After all, he is an artist with a bad record. We can't let him monopolize social resources all the time, right?
This is a warning and a reminder, and it serves as a wake-up call to the entertainment industry, and that’s about it.

Subsequently, other hot news events emerged!

"The main theme movie "My Fathers and Me", produced by China Film Group Corporation and directed and starred by Shen Teng, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi and Xu Zheng, has officially announced that it will be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Along with this announcement, there are four director posters with different styles.

Once released, it instantly ignited all major social platforms.

Huang Xiaoming's determination as he stares into the distance with a gun, Zhang Ziyi's tenderness as she holds a child in her arms, Xu Zheng's simplicity in work clothes, Shen Teng's funny look as he wears goggles...

Four posters, coupled with the text "Home and country, fathers and inheritance", led to the topic #Meet my parents on Mid-Autumn Festival#, which topped the hot search list in less than half an hour.

Netizens have speculated how these four "newcomers" who switched from actors to directors will interpret the spirit of their fathers?
Some film and television bloggers have begun to predict whether this new work in the "Me and My" series of IP can successfully create a box office miracle?
At the same time, the premiere of "White Snake 2: Rise of the Green Snake" was held grandly at the Magic City Grand Theater.

On the red carpet, the main creative team made a stunning appearance in traditional Chinese costumes. Director Li Yang and voice actors Tang Xiaoxi and Waiwai shared their creative journey in front of the media.

When the shocking clip of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing fighting a bloody battle in Shura City was played on the giant screen, the audience burst into applause!
Jiaozi, an animation director from the Feiyue Film and Television faction, made a surprise appearance at the venue and highly praised the quality and story of "White Snake 2".

Although Chen Fei was unable to arrive at the event due to being too busy with work, he still posted on Weibo to promote the new work produced by his company.

"From "White Snake: Origin" to "White Snake 2: Green Snake Rise", Feiyue Films has constructed a brand-new mythological universe with oriental aesthetics. The combination of ink painting and 3D is a visual feast. See you on July 7..."

After the premiere, terms such as #White Snake 2 special effects# and #Green Snake's plot reversal# dominated the charts, and the pre-sale box office exceeded million in just two hours!

“How was the audience feedback at the premiere?”

As soon as the filming of "Parasite" was finished that day, Chen Fei immediately called Li Yang and asked about the data of "White Snake 2".

"Very good!" Li Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with undisguised excitement.

"The audience at the premiere went crazy! After the show, many people gathered at the theater entrance to interview us. They all said the special effects were amazing and the ink-and-wash style fighting scenes were exciting.

There is also Xiaoqing's growth line in the plot. Many female viewers cried while watching it, saying that they never expected it to be so heartbreaking and inspiring! "

Fade Chen leaned back on the chair in the restaurant, tapping the armrest unconsciously with his fingers, the smile on his face growing deeper and deeper.

When he decided to overturn the overly conservative and messy "yuri" story framework in the original script, he put in a lot of hard work, and now it seems that the bet was right.

If you want to reach a wider audience, you can create "sisterhood" and "female inspiration" instead of "unparalleled love between two ladies".

He still can't figure out what the Light Chaser Animation was thinking at the time, to create the feeling of "love" between Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

This is not just destroying the original myth, it's a complete LGBT style!

Chen Fei then asked, "What about the online ratings?"

"The premiere score is 8.9!" Li Yang almost shouted, "Douban, Maoyan, and Tao Piaopiao are all full of five stars, and film critics are praising us for making a new twist on the traditional myth.

By the way, the person in charge of Bilibili just contacted me and said that they want to cooperate exclusively on secondary content creation. I think our popularity can be further increased! "

Chen Fei nodded slightly and said seriously: "Okay, then just keep focusing on publicity and promotion. You can have marketing, but don't be too exaggerated. Only real word of mouth can last."

After hanging up the phone, he contacted the IP development department again.

"Hurry up and release the figures of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, as well as the co-branded Hanfu costumes, and cash in on the popularity."

At any time, the box office revenue of animated films can never compare to the revenue from IP development. This is the conclusion Disney has reached after decades of experience.

Walton Pictures has verified its authenticity through several animated films.

Therefore, the upcoming strategic cooperation with Fantawild is absolutely a top priority!
Su Guohai has already shifted his work focus there, and it is expected that within three years, more theme parks will be built in major cities across the country.

It is mainly divided into three modules.

The first one is the integration of culture and technology, named: Fantawild Leap into the Fantasy World.

The second is to highlight the film and television theme experience, named: Fantawild Flying Leap Studios Park.

The third one emphasizes joy and creativity, named: Fantawild Flying Creative Park.

The three axes work together, with Fantawild's mature park management capabilities and Feiyue Film and Television's IP library and resource library...

Looking at the domestic situation, who can compete with us?
Although Alibaba has also been promoting the development of an animation theme park recently, they don’t even have high-quality animation IP resources, so what is the point of developing it?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are merely hyping up the market, driving up the stock price and making money.

If you really want to make a name for yourself, you must at least hype up the IP of the "New Gods" series.

However, the failure of "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" dealt a major blow to Alibaba Pictures!
As for the upcoming "New Gods: Yang Jian", most people in the circle are pessimistic about it.

……

On the 23rd, "White Snake 2: Rise of the Green Snake" officially entered major domestic theaters with 42% of the screenings.

For a moment, managers of major cinemas seemed to see the arrival of spring.

People!

We are all human beings!

The theater is packed with people!
This is how hot the summer movie market should be!

Looking around, in the theater, when Xiaoqing was swinging her sword vigorously in Shura City and the ink-and-wash style special effects made the fierce fight look poetic and picturesque, exclamations and gasps were heard one after another.

After the show, audiences could be seen having heated discussions everywhere in the theater hall.

Many female viewers said to their companions with red eyes: "Xiaoqing is so cool! From a weak little sister to a capable warrior, it really makes me feel distressed and excited. This is the demeanor of a true growing heroine!"

Several young boys who came together were gesticulating excitedly: "The setting of the cyberpunk-style Shura City is amazing, especially when the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Army rushed over, the 3D effect directly shocked me. This special effect is absolutely amazing! It is worthy of being produced by Feiyue Films! It is guaranteed to be a masterpiece!"

There was a lot of praise offline and even more positive reviews online.

“The fantasy world outlined by ink and color has both classical charm and innovative tension. It is a perfect fusion of oriental mythology and modern aesthetics! The plot twists and turns completely broke my imagination of traditional mythology. This sequel is even better than the previous one!”

"The pace is really steady! I saw Director Chen's name is also on the screenwriting team. Damn, no wonder, this style is definitely his."

"If this continues, the domestic animation film industry will really be completely dominated by Feiyue Films. Wow, that's amazing."

"I was so embarrassed watching 'Ji Gong: The Dragon Comes Down' last week. This one is better."

"Damn, I'm really looking forward to Nezha 2! I hope it can maintain the quality of the first one!"

Along with the positive reviews online, the topic #白蛇2青蛇劫起好劲好# quickly became a hot search on Weibo, and netizens posted their movie tickets and their thoughts on the movie.

There are even anime fans who edited and compared videos on Bilibili, saying: "From "White Snake: Origin" to "White Snake 2", Feiyue Film and Television's progress in animation technology is visible to the naked eye. Every frame can be used as a wallpaper!"

As the night progressed, box office figures continued to climb.

The next morning, when major media outlets began reporting on the film one after another, the news that "White Snake 2: Rise of the Green Snake" grossed 2.6 million yuan on its first day instantly set off a sensation in the film and television industry!
In the animation department, the whole team cheered!
Li Yang was so excited that he called Chen Fei: "Mr. Chen! 2.6 million! It exceeded our expectations by a full 6000 million! It's much better than the first one!"

Chen Fei smiled and gave some advice and encouragement: "I'll ask the finance department to prepare bonuses for you. Keep it up."

At the same time, in the offices of many other animation companies, there was a completely different atmosphere.

The planning director of Qigwei Animation Technology Company stared at the dazzling box office data on the computer with a gloomy face: "We spent hundreds of millions of dollars on "Jigong: The Dragon Descends the World", but the screening time is less than 10%, and the box office is not even a fraction of others. What's the point of this?"

On the other side, in Alibaba Pictures, Fan Luyuan frowned.

Feiyue Film and Television's movie has been successful again, so the next one to suffer is Alibaba Pictures' "Summer of Future"!

This movie will be released on the 30th of the month, competing against "Raging Fire", a collaboration between Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest.

A mountain-like pressure suddenly weighed on his heart, causing his breathing to become much heavier...
