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

Chapter 639: New mission? New movie? New project? The Taoist priest is coming down the mountain!

It is obvious that Dong Bailian also has "expert guidance" behind her.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the upcoming remake of The Return of the Condor Heroes, she once again escaped and temporarily left the public eye.

Of course, the movie "Beauty Like a Painting" still has to be filmed, but it will be more low-key in the future.

Correspondingly, due to the casting of "Little Dragon Girl", many photos and videos of Liu Yifei suddenly appeared on the Internet.

As the former "Little Dragon Girl", Miss Liu is now a top star in the circle, and even has a great reputation in Hollywood. Now she has become a producer and is in charge of Red Star Studio...

If this happened in South Korea, he would be considered a chaebol at least.

Because of this, fans’ expectations for the new “Little Dragon Girl” are extremely high!
I don’t aim to surpass Liu Yifei, but at least I’m not too far behind her.

Many netizens went to Yu Zheng Studio’s Weibo and began to recommend their favorite candidates to him, hoping that they could be qualified to participate.

Even many second- and third-tier artists have begun to recommend themselves online, eager to become famous overnight with this great opportunity.

As we all know, when it comes to hype, Yu Zheng is also one of the most professional people in the circle.

In response to the discussion and heated debate on the Internet, he responded on his personal Weibo account:

"Everyone can rest assured that the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes will be faithful to the original novel, and the costumes and makeup will be designed by me personally to ensure rigor!
As for the choice of actors, I noticed that many people are concerned about the choice of 'Little Dragon Girl'. You can rest assured that I will not let you down. The Little Dragon Girl I choose will definitely fit the white moonlight in the minds of most people..."

This promise was well received by many people and also aroused everyone's expectations.

Who would be so lucky to get the role of "Little Dragon Girl" and successfully match Liu Yifei and portray that fairy-like feeling?

Someone even made a list of people who are likely to get the role on Weibo and called on netizens and fans to vote.

However, this vote resulted in a very dramatic scene.

I don’t know who put Liu Yifei’s name on the list, which resulted in her vote count being far ahead of others.

This also indirectly confirms one point, that no matter who is chosen for the role of Xiaolongnu except Liu Yifei, there will probably be a wave of criticism.

"Among so many Little Dragon Girls, yours is indeed the most beautiful. No one can rival you."

Holding Liu Yifei in my arms, with pictures of Little Dragon Girl playing on my phone, it felt so comfortable.

Chen Fei really liked the scene where she danced lightly with the garland on her head. It was absolutely stunning. The more he watched it, the more he felt like a fairy descending to earth.

"I'm just a little fat now."

Looking at the 'Little Dragon Girl' in the video, and then looking at her own round face in the mirror, Liu Yifei couldn't help but pout.

"I'm not that fat." Chen Fei said seriously. He suddenly reached in with his right hand as if to play a trick. He laughed and said, "It's just that this part is a lot bigger. I can't hold it anymore."

"Oh! You are so bad!"

Liu Yifei's face turned red instantly and she glared at him in reproach, but she did not avoid him. Instead, she let him do whatever he wanted.

……

I have to say that Chen Jingfei is indeed quite capable.

Without the support of China Film, he actually managed to pull other investors in!

That morning, the media suddenly released a piece of news that attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

"The Sino-foreign co-production "Legend of the White Ghost: Desperate Escape", jointly produced by Yunnan Film Group, Max Media, Alibaba Pictures, Bona, Huaxia Star, Huang Xiaoming Studio and other companies, has officially been approved!"

"The film is directed by Nick Powell, written by James Dormer, and co-starred by Nicolas Cage, Hayden Christensen, Yang Ying and others."

"It is reported that the film will be shot in China, and will be shown in North America, China, Europe and other countries..."

As the news continued to break out, people in the circle were shocked to discover that after Liu Yifei, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Jing Tian and others, Yang Ying had actually become one of the female stars going international!

For a moment, a wave of heated discussions broke out across the entire Internet.

No one would have thought that after messing up the movie "A Romantic Affair", Yang Ying would actually be able to get this kind of co-production project and is about to go international!
When seeing this news, Chen Fei felt inexplicably complicated.

What can I say about Huang Xiaoming? He is totally obsessed with love!
Doesn't he know how good his girlfriend's acting is? He didn't take a good look at her and accepted such a project.

Going international?
The louder you shout slogans now, the more painful it will be when you get slapped in the face in the future!
However, Yang Ying obviously doesn't care about these.

She posted a new Weibo post with great enthusiasm, saying that she had had in-depth discussions with the producer, director, Nicolas Cage and others, and that she was confident that she could make the film well and officially go international.

Co-producers such as Bona, China Star, and Alibaba Pictures naturally spared no effort to promote the film.

There were constant voices of envy in the circle, and many people even went to Yang Ying's Weibo to send her congratulations.

At this moment, people seem to have forgotten that the movie "A Romantic Affair" starring her had a box office of only tens of millions and ended up losing a lot of money.

Similarly, those who praised her seemed to have forgotten the tragedy of "Man of Tai Chi" and were very confident that as long as it was a co-production, it would make huge money.

I just don’t know how they will react when the final results come out.

"Yang Ying?"

Liu Yifei kept repeating the name and couldn't help but feel a little sad for her former partner Huang Xiaoming.

She believed Chen Fei's words without a doubt, and knew that this movie would definitely not have a good ending.

Among those who are unlucky in the end, Huang Xiaoming will undoubtedly be the one who suffers the greatest loss!

……

With the completion of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", many people have recently come to ask Chen Fei what his next project will be?
He is also known as a well-known hard worker in the circle and makes at least two movies every year.

There are still several months left until the end of the year. At his speed, it will be no problem for him to make another film, whether it is an art film or a commercial film.

However, Chen Fei really doesn't have any plans at the moment.

"The Revenant" will start filming in the first half of next year, while "Avengers 2" will be scheduled for the second half of next year.

Apart from promoting "The Burning Sun", he has no other projects on hand recently.

There are still quite a few scripts that have not been filmed in the script library, but looking around, he doesn't want to take out "Point Break" and "Parasite" now because the time is not right yet.

As for those Hong Kong film scripts, there is no need to mention them. He stuffed them into some corners and would only look at them when he remembered.

Therefore, there was only one choice left before him:
"Go and complete the challenging mission issued by the system!"

In the previous dock shooting incident, because of the increase in the "speed" value, the system had actually issued him a new "SSS" task.

[Challenge mission: (Go to the highest cliff in Europe - "Cliffs of Moher", and jump into the sea from the top of the cliff; Note 1: No auxiliary items can be used during the whole process; Note 2: Three difficult moves need to be completed during the diving process, and the difficulty must be at least equal to the moves that get the highest score in the world diving competition), mission level: SSS level. ]

As early as the system refreshed this task, Chen Fei had already learned about the Cliffs of Moher.

But precisely because he understood it too thoroughly, he had not yet completed this task.

The Cliffs of Moher are the largest cliffs in Europe, with a height of more than 200 meters, located on the edge of the central and western part of the island of Ireland. They were formed by the impact of crustal movement and the Atlantic Ocean's raging waves for countless years.

The entire cliff faces the vast Atlantic Ocean and is famous for its danger.

The movie "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was filmed here.

In the film, Harry Potter and Dumbledore embark on a dangerous journey to find out the reason why Voldemort is immortal. They stand on a rock and fly to an isolated cave on the Cliffs of Moher standing by the sea...

Now, what Chen Fei has to do is to jump directly into the sea from the Cliffs of Moher, which are more than 200 meters high.

This is obviously a very difficult task with a particularly high mortality rate!
You should know that the highest diving platform in the sport of diving is only 27 meters high, and this is the highest height for men's diving.

If it were a female diving platform with relatively poorer physical fitness, the highest would only be 20 meters.

In the minds of many people, it seems that the higher the diving platform, the better.

The higher the diving platform, the longer you can stay in the air, which allows you to do more movements in the air, and you can also adjust your entry into the water so that it doesn't create too much splash. In this case, a higher diving platform will make the diving look more spectacular.

However, what many people don’t know is that diving is actually a very dangerous sport!

Although water is a liquid, it also generates force. Whether it is water in a cup or water in the sea, there is surface tension on the surface.

When an object falls into water, it breaks this surface tension.

The reason why waves and splashes are generated when entering the water is also due to surface tension.

For sports like diving, the biggest danger is the process of entering the water.

Under the influence of gravity, the diver will enter the water very quickly, which will also cause the surface tension to be particularly large.

Especially when the height reaches a certain level, the moment of entering the water is actually not much different from falling directly on the concrete ground.

The distance of 27 meters is actually the limit that the human body can endure.

So far, the highest diving record was set by Switzerland's Schaller in 1983, who set a Guinness World Record of 58.8 meters in the American ultra-high diving competition!
And now, under the requirements of the system, Chen Fei has to extend this record to 200 meters!
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for his physical fitness.

In order to complete this task, he would most likely have to continue to improve his "Constitution" attribute, which would result in new "SSS" level tasks being spawned.

Therefore, he had to find enough free time to complete this task.

I was too busy before and during the year, so it has been put off until now.

Now it seems that this task can no longer be avoided.

However, there are still a few months left before the mission expires. Chen Fei plans to complete this challenging mission after all the publicity work for "The Sun Also Rises" is completed.

……

After learning that Chen Fei currently had no filming plans, some companies seeking investment turned their attention to several other first-line directors in the country.

Feng Xiaogang is busy preparing for the Spring Festival Gala and has no time to prepare for new projects.

Zhang Yimou is currently filming "Coming Home" and has completely cut off contact with the outside world.

Therefore, many people's eyes fell on the great poet Chen Kaige.

Old Chen did not disappoint the investors.

As early as when "The Orphan of Zhao" was launched and casting was underway, he had already begun preparations for "The Strange Banquet of the Tang Dynasty by Monk Kūkai".

After "The Orphan of Zhao" was released, Chen Hong publicly stated that Chen Kai's script was almost finished.

Everyone thought that after the end of "Search", Brother Chen Kai would immediately start the project "Monk Kūkai: The Strange Banquet of the Tang Dynasty".

But to everyone's surprise, under the urging of many investors, Chen Hong actually came out to announce a piece of news that surprised many people:

"Because the Tangcheng Film and Television Base cannot be completed as scheduled, the film project adapted from "The Great Tang Banquet of Monk Kukai" will be temporarily shelved.

After careful consideration, Director Kai Ge has decided to prepare for the Republic of China fantasy martial arts film "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and will start casting from now on."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire film and television industry.

Movies directed by the Palme d'Or winner are extremely attractive!
"What the hell? 'The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain'?"

Chen Fei, who was handling affairs at the company, suddenly twitched uncontrollably when he saw the news pinned to the top of the entertainment website.

As I recall... this movie was extremely bad!
The assistant standing nearby heard his exclamation and echoed, "Director Chen Kai seems to have an obsession with big scenes. Every time he shoots a movie, he has to build a city.

I wonder if this film, The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain, will also build a large city in the Republic of China as in the past? "

Chen Fei was not curious about this. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he took out a script from under his desk and handed it to his assistant.

"Go contact Mr. Su and give him this script. Ask him to submit it for review. By the way, notify Wang Baoqiang and ask him to free up his schedule. I have a new project for him."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

The assistant responded and turned to walk out.

The moment she closed the door, she glanced at the name on the cover of the script.

Five big characters come into view:

"Detective Chinatown"

……

After being rejected by Xiaoma Pentium, Huayi has also been making continuous moves.

First, Feng Xiaogang was sent to CCTV to serve as the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Immediately afterwards, a group of stars and artists under the Huayi faction were sent to the Spring Festival Gala to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

Just recently, it was announced that the second part of the Di Renjie series, "The Mysterious Dragon King", will be released on September 9, which is obviously aimed at the National Day holiday.

Not to mention other movies, "Ip Man 29", which is scheduled to be released on the 3th, is the first to be affected and has become its competitor.

Ying Huang seemed a little nervous, and Yang Shoucheng even called personally to ask Chen Fei whether he wanted to take any action.

Chen Fei remained quite calm about this.

"We should promote it as we should. The two films have different themes and naturally have different audiences. There may be some impact, but the quality of the films is high enough. Don't be afraid of it."

Looking back, when the first film in the Di Renjie series, "The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", was being filmed, if he hadn't reminded and corrected many flaws in the film in time, the film would probably have failed.

Now, "Shendu Dragon King" has undergone a series of cast changes, and has also added Yang Ying as the heroine...

"Tsui Hark is so unlucky."

Chen Fei sighed and glanced at the new news released by Huayi.

A low-budget romantic comedy called "Ex-Files" started filming quietly.

Han Geng, Yao Xintong, Zheng Kai...

Obviously, this is another product of the Huayi faction's self-entertainment.

……

As time approaches September, after a full month of release, "Equator" and "Fast & Furious 9", which completed the entire August schedule, have both come to an end.

The former closed at 3.69 million and the latter closed at 5.13 million, which can be said to be a double success.

Both movies have sequels. On the day they were released, Golden Harvest and Universal Pictures both made relevant announcements, stating that sequels will be released within the next two years.

For a moment, the fans were so happy!
Although it is very frustrating to follow a movie with a sequel because it takes too long, it is still better than a bad ending.

At the same time, the news that "Detective Chinatown" had passed the review was immediately reported by the Film Bureau on its official website.

When people saw that this was another Feiyue Film and Television project, discussions in the circle suddenly emerged again.

Who doesn’t know that Feiyue Film and Television’s projects are famous for their high quality?

If you have the opportunity to participate in this, wouldn't it be a sure win?
For a time, many production companies, media and reporters came to the company to inquire about the relevant situation.

Chen Fei was out of the company, so Su Guohai had to come out and explain:
"The script has just been reviewed, and the specific project content has not yet been determined, but it has been confirmed that Wang Baoqiang will be the lead actor. As for other related information, it needs to be kept confidential for the time being..."

Su Guohai did not say anything extra, because Chen Fei had specifically told him before he left that he only needed to reveal the news that Wang Baoqiang had accepted the new project.

As for the reason, he actually didn't know.
