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

Chapter 1359 Wen Muye and Han Jia Nu officially announce their relationship...

It was already June when I returned to China.

As soon as he landed, Chen Fei saw that the news online had exploded, it was incredibly lively.

Congratulations to director Chen Fei on winning the Palme d'Or, the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival!

"The film 'Parasite,' directed by Han Jianu, has won the Palme d'Or for Best Film at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. Congratulations!"

Zhang Yi wins the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor award! His acting career reaches a new peak!

"It's a pity that director Chen Kaige's trip to Cannes was fruitless; 'Boyhood' was only nominated but failed to win any awards..."

At the airport, Chen Fei and his entourage were caught red-handed by reporters, who interviewed and photographed them, showering them with glory.

In contrast, Chen Kaige and his group took the elevator directly to the underground parking garage and left.

Chen Hong was arranged to take Chen Feiyu and Liu Haoran away first, while Old Chen went to China Film Group alone, preparing to "plead guilty with a thorn on his back".

Fu Ruoqing used many connections and finally managed to get the film approved.

But now, he went to the Cannes Film Festival and came back empty-handed. Hasn't he just let people down?

To Chen Kaige's surprise, Fu Ruoqing showed no dissatisfaction when she saw him; instead, she comforted him.

"Old Chen, film festivals are always full of uncertainties. The fact that 'Boyhood' was nominated is already a recognition of our strength."

As he spoke, he even went to the tea table himself and brewed a cup of tea.

The rising steam blurred the fleeting disappointment in his eyes: "Look at Cannes this year, the awards are all leaning towards the fusion of commercial and artistic films. It's perfectly normal for our art films to suffer some losses."

Chen Kaige took the teacup, his hand tightening slightly, a lump of cotton stuck in his throat: "Old Fu, this time I've let you down..."

"What do you mean by letting me down?" Fu Ruoqing suddenly raised her voice and patted Chen Kaige on the shoulder. "We've known each other for so many years, don't we know each other well? What does a temporary gain or loss matter? The upcoming 'Volunteer Army' is the main event!"

He lowered his voice, staring intently at Chen Kaige, "This film carries far more significance than an award. As long as it's well-made, everything that happened before is insignificant."

Chen Kaige's eyes instantly reddened, and he couldn't speak as his throat bobbed.

He never expected that Fu Ruoqing would understand him in this way!

What he didn't know was that beneath the reassuring tone, the other person was actually overwhelmed with worry about managing the project.

The words of comfort offered at this moment were merely meant to stabilize morale.

"Don't worry!" Chen Kai slammed his teacup down on the table and suddenly stood up. "I will put all my effort into 'The Volunteer Army'! I've already polished the script three times, and the cast is being adjusted. I definitely won't let you down again!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ruoqing's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and she reached out to support him, saying, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Just ask if you need any resources. Our goal is to make this film a benchmark in film history!"

"it is good!"

Chen Kai nodded emphatically, then turned and left.

Watching him leave, Fu Ruoqing stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the gray skyline in the distance, and finally her face fell.

"boom!"

He slammed the documents in his hand onto the table!

After putting in so much effort and owing so many favors, it was only with great difficulty that "Boyhood" finally passed the censorship.

But now I've made a wasted trip to the Cannes Film Festival!
He could already picture the people from the film bureau mocking him for wasting his energy.

This feeling of injustice can perhaps only be truly released when "The Volunteer Army" achieves great success.

The topic trended on the internet for several days.

The buzz surrounding the three awards won at the Cannes Film Festival even overshadowed the popularity of Wang Xinling's debut as the center of attention on "Sisters Who Make Waves".

The latter is widely expected, leading in popularity by a wide margin, and has become one of the biggest dark horses in the music scene this year.

Do you like this singer? I've seen a lot of middle-aged men around forty years old who like to listen to his songs.

On the way to the celebration banquet, Liu Yifei suddenly looked at Chen Fei and asked him a soul-searching question.

"I don't like it." Chen Fei shook his head first, then noticed Liu Yifei's slightly pouting lips, and gently stroked the tip of her nose: "What, are you jealous of a singer you have nothing to do with?"

Before she could refute him, he added in a serious tone, "The only person I've ever loved in my life is you. I knew it from the first moment I saw you in college."

"Ugh, that's so cheesy."

Liu Yifei didn't want to hug or cuddle with him, so she reached out and pushed him away.

But the next second, Chen Fei suddenly pulled a small box out of his pocket, inside which lay an exquisite gold palm-shaped brooch.

"What is this?" Liu Yifei's eyes lit up as she stared curiously inside.

"It was specially made by a craftsman and is ninety-nine times smaller than the real trophy. All ninety-nine points of my glory should belong to you."

"What about the remaining point?"

Chen Fei suddenly leaned closer with a wicked grin and whispered in her ear, "I'll save it for when you give birth to my daughter, then I'll add it to your diet."

"Pah! I don't want to have your baby." Liu Yifei reached out and punched him: "You smooth talker! You're so annoying."

However, despite saying she hated it, she couldn't help but carefully pick up the brooch and pin it to her lapel.

In the reflection of the makeup mirror, the starlight in her eyes was even brighter than the flashlights on the red carpet!

……

Although this celebration banquet tonight was organized by Feiyue Film and Television, one-third of the attendees were invited by Han Sanping.

My daughter won such a big award, it's definitely worth celebrating!

At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone.

When Chen Fei arrived, he saw many people he had dealt with before, but who had now retired to the second line.

La Peikang, Jiao Hongfen, Tong Gang... these are all people I've had dealings with to varying degrees before, and some of whom I've even had conflicts with.

However, they've now put an end to their grudges with a smile.

For example, La Peikang has already stepped down, so naturally he has no business dealings with Chen Fei anymore. Therefore, when they meet again, they can still chat peacefully for a while.

"Congratulations, Chairman Chen, on winning another award."

"It was just a lucky coincidence this year; I happened to be there, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten it."

"With your abilities, it's only a matter of time."

"The right time, the right place, and the right people..."

Many people came and went, and people would come up to offer their congratulations from time to time, to which Chen Fei always responded politely.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi also became a hot commodity among the crowd.

The title of Cannes Best Actor is enough to guarantee his popularity for the next ten years. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, his career is absolutely secure.

While everyone was chatting and socializing, Han Sanping walked in with Han Jianu.

However, to everyone's surprise, an acquaintance came in with the father and daughter.

Wen Muye!
When everyone at the celebration banquet saw Han Jianu holding the arms of both Han Sanping and Wen Muye, they immediately realized what was going on.

"The Palme d'Or and the Lion? Good heavens! How did these two end up together?"

"My goodness, no wonder Old Han isn't pressuring his daughter to get married. Turns out she already has a rich husband!"

"This family is amazing, they're all directors. Are they going to become a family of directors?"

The meeting room was filled with lively discussion. Han Sanping smiled brightly and greeted her colleagues on both sides warmly.

"Chairman Han is in the limelight tonight!"

The sudden sound in his ear caught Chen Fei's attention.

He turned his head and saw that Wang Jian'er from Shanghai Film Studio had somehow gotten close to him.

"really."

He casually agreed, and Chen Fei subtly moved away, pretending to walk away unintentionally.

Wang Jian'er's hands, which were in his pockets, suddenly clenched tightly!

It's one thing that "Mozart in Outer Space" failed to reach a cooperation agreement with Feiyue Films, but "The Journey Home" didn't even get a share of the box office.

I don't know where this Shanhai Film and Television Company suddenly appeared from, and it even has the name of a state-owned enterprise.

This made him extremely irritable, but he felt helpless.

"Chairman Wang, how have you been?"

The sudden sound in his ear startled Wang Jian'er slightly.

He subconsciously turned to the side and saw that Gong Yu from iQiyi had somehow walked up to him with a glass of champagne.

"Mr. Gong, it's been a long time."

The two clinked glasses and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Seeing that there were many people around, Gong Yu simply suggested, "Chairman Wang, how about we find a place to talk later?"
I happen to have a patriotic project on hand, and I've already reached a cooperation agreement with China Film Group. However, I'm still lacking a suitable partner. I wonder if Shanghai Film Group would be interested in participating?

A project with a mainstream theme?
Wang Jian'er knew about iQiyi's announcement of its full-scale entry into the film industry, but he was somewhat skeptical of the "mainstream ideology" he mentioned.

What kind of mainstream ideology can a video platform possibly produce?

What is the main story about?

"It's a story about table tennis."

Ok? !

Wang Jian'er raised an eyebrow slightly.

If it's table tennis, then it seems there's something there.

After all, this is China's "national sport"! It attracts a lot of attention, and the videos seem to have quite a few interesting aspects.

"Okay, then let's find a place to talk after the banquet."

While the two were discussing things privately, in the center of the venue, Han Jianu was already introducing Wen Muye's identity to everyone with great poise.

"This is my boyfriend."

When she said those words, a commotion immediately broke out around her.

"A perfect match, they're a match made in heaven, haha."

"Jia Nu? When are you planning to get married? Your uncle still has a red envelope waiting to be given out."

"Wow, a Palme d'Or director and a Lion of Gold director, you two are such a perfect match! There are very few such pairs of partners in the industry!"

Everyone was offering their blessings, but Ning Hao, standing next to Chen Fei, muttered under his breath, "Wen Muye is finished. He's too soft-hearted, and the award he won is less prestigious than the Best Woman award. He'll be completely dominated by him."

"Haha." Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh.

It's obvious that Ning Hao is thinking about his own life!
……

After the celebration banquet ended, the online buzz gradually subsided.

Since Han Jianu and Wen Muye are not exactly top celebrities, the news of their relationship did not generate much buzz.

However, people still inevitably bring it up and chat about it during their leisure time.

After all, their identities are indeed quite rare in the industry.

A Palme d'Or winner and a Golden Lion director – that's an incredibly prestigious award!

Before we knew it, it was June 10th.

The highly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster "Jurassic World 3" has arrived!
As a key project among Hollywood imports this year, this film is not only a major production for Universal Pictures, but also a project that major theater chains hope to use to increase attendance and revenue.

The box office reached 1.24 million yuan on its opening day!
This is indeed a good result, but after being distributed among the various cinemas, the revenue left for each cinema is still pitifully small.

This one movie alone is simply not enough to revive the sluggish market.

Wanda Cinemas is completely operating at a loss and is facing increasing difficulties...

Many people are looking forward to the upcoming summer movie season.

However, looking around, the number of movies that have chosen to be released during the summer vacation is still pitifully small.

However, even if there are few, it doesn't mean there aren't any.

Early that morning, a notice from Feiyue Films gave many cinema managers a much-needed respite regarding film salaries.

"Parasite is officially scheduled for release on July 15th. See you during the summer movie season."

Unlike the Cannes Film Festival, films participating in the Hollywood selection do not need to have a premiere in Hollywood. Films that have been released in advance can also participate.

Therefore, taking advantage of the buzz surrounding the award-winning film at Cannes, Chen Fei decided to release "Parasite" during the summer holiday season.

However, to his surprise, China Film Group, as the distributor of "Boyhood", also issued a notice.

"Chen Kaige's latest artistic masterpiece, 'Boyhood,' is scheduled to be released on July 29."

Old Chen is also aiming for the summer movie season.

The media flocked to the scene.

Capitalizing on this momentum, China Film Group immediately announced:
"The patriotic film 'Volunteer Army: Mighty Army Strikes,' directed by Chen Kaige and starring Tang Yanqiang, Wang Yanhui, Liu Jin, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi, and others, officially started filming today."

A situation has arisen where 1+1>2!

The two movies, "Boyhood" and "Volunteer Army: Mighty Army Strikes," immediately generated a lot of buzz.

Immediately, online discussions erupted.

"Wait, what? Why is Chen Kai making another patriotic film? Don't let him come up with another one that's neither fish nor fowl like 'My People, My Country'."

"Artistic, commercial, mainstream—is he trying to emulate Zhang Yimou? Is he also trying to become popular in his later years?"

"With the Korean War as a subject, there's already a representative work like 'The Battle at Lake Changjin.' Can Chen Kaige handle it?"

Overall, the voices of doubt still outweigh the voices of affirmation.

However, Chen Kaige doesn't seem to care about this, or perhaps he's already used to it.

Despite the constant noise outside, he remained inside the film crew and made no response.

Meanwhile, after some discussions, iQiyi, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group officially signed an investment agreement for the project "China's Ping Pong: The Last Stand".

After discussing it among the three parties, they decided to invite Deng Chaolai to be the director...

Meanwhile, at the company, Chen Fei finally finished writing the script for Liu Yifei...
