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

Chapter 689: Another great general! Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

From the time I went to attend the Oscars to the time I returned home again, more than two months have passed.

During this time, in addition to filming, Chen Fei also did a lot of other things.

For example, we contacted Zhong Lifang, the former general manager of Xiaoma Pentium.

He initially made an appointment with Zhong Lifang to meet in Los Angeles, but the other party refused the meeting on the grounds that she did not want to be involved in any entertainment industry affairs in the near future.

Chen Fei originally thought that there was no hope, but he never expected that as soon as he returned to China, he actually received a call from Zhong Lifang.

"Mr. Chen, I saw on the news that you have returned to China. If you have time, can we meet?"

Faced with Zhong Lifang's proposal, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Mr. Zhong has also returned to China? Then why not wait for a better day? How about we meet at Feiyue Film and Television tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He suddenly couldn't figure out Zhong Lifang's thoughts. She had been refusing him before, but now she suddenly came to him on her own initiative. This sudden change was too abrupt.

But he didn't think much about it.

all will be good.

It would be good if we could reach a cooperation, but if we really can't come to an agreement, then we should continue to look for a professional manager to be responsible for this business.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei put the matter behind him and began to pay attention to the major hot news in the country recently.

In addition to the promotion of several movies that will be released in May, Huayi has recently made another big move!

The two Wang brothers held a grand premiere event for a commercial film "Micro Love: Getting Better".

It is worth mentioning that the director of this movie is none other than the famous fifth-generation director Gu Changwei in China!
Half a year after joining Huayichao, he finally started his first commercial film project.

At the launch conference, Wang Zhonglei personally served as the host and praised Gu Changwei as if he was the only one in the world.

Because most of the guests at the scene were from Huayi faction or had good relationships with Huayi, everyone was very supportive.

As Gu Changwei's first commercial film, the selection of the male and female protagonists is naturally the focus of attention in the industry.

So after the launch conference, the media reported the relevant news immediately:

"The comedy romance film "Micro Love" exclusively produced by Huayi and directed by Gu Changwei has officially started filming, with Chen He and Yang Ying as the male and female protagonists respectively."

"Director Gu Changwei revealed at the scene that he was very satisfied with the performance of Chen He and Yang Ying during the audition, and believed that the two would be able to create different sparks in their cooperation."

"It is reported that the Sino-foreign co-production film "Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape" starring Yang Ying will be completed soon. We look forward to her wonderful performance."

Looking at the news reports, Fade Chen just felt like laughing.

As expected, although Huayi claimed at its 20th anniversary celebration that it would no longer be involved in the agency business, when it seriously releases a new movie, it will not forget the actors with whom it has a good "relationship".

People such as Chen He and Yang Ying are all Huayi’s “direct descendants”.

However, Chen Fei still admired Gu Changwei very much. He didn't expect that he would dare to use Yang Ying as the heroine of the movie.

You know, this is the actor in the industry that Xu Ke had publicly named in front of the media and he would never work with him again.

Even Liu Dehua said implicitly that he was "scared" by Yang Ying.

Moreover, according to media reports, Gu Changwei is eligible to enjoy a share of the box office profits from this movie.

As his first commercial blockbuster as a director, it is unknown how high the box office performance will be.

Chen Fei has been in the circle for so many years, and he actually has some understanding of the commercial films made by directors who are good at literary and artistic films and realistic films.

They want high box office, but can't give up those high-brow stuff, so they always put some private work or use some superb shooting techniques in their works.

This resulted in the fact that, in the end, they couldn't even complete the most basic storyline of a commercial film, let alone reap high box office revenue.

……

After nearly half a year of hard work, "The Journey of Flower" finally has a finished film.

In the afternoon, Chen Fei was invited to the editing room to watch this ancient fantasy TV series that had been highly anticipated by the outside world.

There were a total of 50 episodes, and even with the acceleration, he watched until late at night before he finally saw the end.

The story is actually very simple. It is a fairy tale based on fantasy and magic, telling the tragic love story between Hua Qiangu, an orphan girl with a destiny, and Bai Zihua, the immortal of Changliu who is dedicated to helping the world.

This drama is aimed at those young, ignorant, naive and innocent girls.

Most of the actors are veteran actors, and filming a TV series does not require superb acting skills, so the whole drama is very comfortable to watch.

What surprised Chen Fei the most was the soundtrack.

Such as "Fire of the Heart", "Annual Rings", "End of Time", etc., all fit in with the overall style of the drama very well.

If the full score is 9.2, Chen Fei can give it points, which can be regarded as a reward.

As the person in charge of the company's TV drama division, Jiang Xuerou has been watching this series with Chen Fei.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she received a positive evaluation from Fade Chen.

"When is the premiere scheduled?"

"We discussed it with Youku and finally decided to launch it on June 6th."

"Summer vacation?"

"Correct."

Jiang Xueru nodded and added, "When the first round of "Day and Night" is over and the popularity is at its peak, we will launch "The Journey of Flower" and it will be a successful successor."

Chen Fei had no objection to this decision and directly ordered: "Then let's announce it as soon as possible and start warming up."

……

The next morning, just as Chen Fei and Zhong Lifang were meeting for talks, a lot of pre-event news suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"The TV series "The Journey of Flower", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, has officially announced that it will be released on June 6. See you this summer!"

"With such a strong cast, Zhao Liying, Hu Ge and Huo Jianhua, The Journey of Flower will surely become a masterpiece among ancient costume fantasy dramas."

"The relevant promotional photos and preview clips of "The Journey of Flower" will be released on Weibo one by one. Remember to follow the official Weibo of "The Journey of Flower", participate in the comments and forward, and there will be a lot of surprises."

In just one morning, the topic of "#花千骨" topped the Weibo hot search list.

At this moment, many drama fans seemed to have returned to the era dominated by "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Startling by Each Step" and "Palace Lock Heart".

"Day and Night" is about to be released, followed by "The Journey of Flower". I think "Red Sorghum" should not be far away either.

In one year, three new dramas were released, and another one, Nirvana in Fire, is being filmed...

Just thinking about it, many fans of TV dramas feel like the New Year is approaching!

At the same time, in the reception room of Feiyue Film and Television, Chen Fei was negotiating with Zhong Lifang about the subsequent cooperation.

He originally thought that Zhong Lifang would probably offer a very high salary or profit-sharing conditions.

Therefore, before this, Chen Fei had already prepared himself mentally.

He had even set up a lever in his mind, allowing Zhong Lifang to make any conditions as long as they were within this range.

But he never expected that the other party's conditions would be so unexpected to him!

"So what Mr. Zhong means is that if you want to join Feiyue Film and Television, then I will have to accept all the original members of Xiaoma Pentium?"

"That's right." Zhong Lifang nodded, without any cryptic words, and said bluntly: "I think Mr. Chen should be very clear about Xiao Ma's current situation.

The company has been in a mess due to the internal power struggle, and many old employees have been persuaded to resign and have nowhere to go..."

Listening to Zhong Lifang's story, Chen Fei was not very surprised.

When a new emperor takes office, he naturally has to form his own team. As for the previous emperor's team, they are lucky to be able to escape unscathed.

The best example is Zhong Lifang herself.

Just after the seventh day after Big Dog's death, she, the "prime minister" of Little Pony Galloping, was dismissed from her post.

Naturally, there would be no good results for those old generals who had followed her and Big Dog in the past.

In fact, before coming to meet Chen Fei, Zhong Lifang had also thought about opening her own film and television company, bringing in all her former teammates, and starting over again!
However, when she met her former subordinates during the rest months, she gradually gave up the idea.

She herself has the passion and motivation to start a new business, but those old subordinates who have already started their own families are all burdened with car loans and mortgages and are under tremendous family pressure. How could they accompany her to face an uncertain future?
Looking back, Feiyue Film and Television is undoubtedly the best choice.

The boss has resources and money. He can even be described as "rich as hell". If you follow such a boss and work hard, your life will be guaranteed.

For her own sake and for the old subordinates left behind by Brother Big Dog, after careful consideration, Zhong Lifang finally appeared in Feiyue Films.

After careful consideration, Fade Chen finally nodded in response to her request.

He admired Zhong Lifang's loyalty and righteousness.

Although there is a possibility that those people will "set up their own faction" after being recruited, he believes that he can suppress them.

He is a first-generation entrepreneur, not the kind of heir who takes over his father's company.

Moreover, Feiyue Film and Television is not a listed company. As the chairman of the company, Chen Fei has unparalleled voice.

If anyone disobeys, he will be fired directly. Will he be sidelined?
Afterwards, the two sides had a long discussion on the details of future cooperation.

As the chairman, Chen Fei is naturally the captain of the Feiyue Film and Television aircraft carrier. He will be responsible for all decisions and lead the aircraft carrier to wider waters.

Su Guohai is the deputy captain, responsible for management and assisting Chen Fei.

Jiang Xuerou is in charge of the production of TV dramas, while Chen Guofu is in charge of the production of Chinese-language films.

As for Zhong Lifang, who has just joined the company, she will be responsible for the production, post-production, publicity and promotion of Sino-foreign co-production films such as "Pacific Rim", as well as the overseas distribution of Chinese-language films.

At this point, Feiyue Film and Television's high-level structure has officially become complete.

After signing the contract with Zhong Lifang, Feiyue Films' official Weibo immediately released a brief notice:

“We warmly welcome Ms. Zhong Lifang to officially take up the position of General Manager of Feiyue Films’ Film and Television Department (Sino-foreign co-productions and Chinese-language film overseas projects). We firmly believe that Ms. Zhong Lifang’s joining will bring new development momentum and strategic perspective to the company.

She will lead all employees in the department to face challenges, seize opportunities, and drive the company to achieve new breakthroughs and leaps in Chinese-language film overseas projects.

We hope that employees from all departments can actively cooperate with the new leadership and give full play to their professional abilities and sense of responsibility in their positions. Let us work together with greater enthusiasm and firm confidence to create a more brilliant future for the company! "

One stone caused a thousand waves!

When the announcement of Zhong Lifang joining Feiyue Films was released, it immediately attracted the attention of companies in the industry.

Especially when they saw the content of the projects she was in charge of, a number of film and television production companies, led by Huayi and LeTV, were so envious that their eyes turned red.

"Why? Why did Fade Chen recruit such a talent? God is so unfair!"

Although Zhong Lifang failed to lead Xiaoma to go public, people in the industry believe that her work level and ability are absolutely top-notch!

Therefore, when she left Xiaoma, Huayi offered her a sky-high salary in the hope of recruiting her.

But I never thought that in the end it would be snatched away by Feiyue Films!
In response to the company's announcement, Zhong Lifang immediately responded: "I feel deeply honored to be a part of this vibrant and innovative atmosphere.

In the subsequent work, I will contribute to the development of the company with greater enthusiasm, more rigorous work attitude and more innovative thinking. "

With Zhong Lifang's reply, at this moment, everyone in the industry finally came to their senses.

Feiyue Films has added another great member, which means it will continue to soar to higher heights!
……

Many people outside are paying attention to the news that Zhong Lifang joined Feiyue Films, but Chen Fei, as the instigator, is eating a very fresh "melon" at this time.

As time quickly moves into late April, several movies released in early April have also achieved their own results.

Among them, "Dear" is the most powerful. After more than 20 days of release, the box office has successfully exceeded million and is charging towards the million mark!

Of course, this is inseparable from the continuous infusion of Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Huang Bo and Zhou Xun.

However, the film that attracted the most attention from netizens was not "Dear", but the Sino-Korean co-production "I Love You Most on the Road" produced by Giant Films and starring Wen Zhang and Huang Shengyi.

The movie has had extremely poor box office since its release on March 3.

Just a few days later, the cheating scandal of an actor named Wen was exposed again.

Under the severe blow, this co-production film with an investment of over 100 million yuan was forced to be taken off the screen by theaters after only ten days of release.

The final total box office was only 1766 million, which was a huge loss!
And this is not the most noteworthy thing.

What netizens discussed the most were the words that Yang Zai and Huang Shengyi used online to defend the emblem.

As one of the four young actresses in the past, Huang Shengyi still has some brains. She is simply calling on netizens not to deny the entire movie because of the mistakes made by an actor in real life.

But Yangzi is a little too stupid.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually brought out Chen Long's "famous quote" from that year:

"Just like what Brother Chen Long once said, the emblem is just a mistake that all men in the world would make.

What's more, the mistake he made is not as big as Chen Long's. Therefore, I urge the majority of netizens to forgive Wen Zhang as they forgive Big Brother. After all, he is the leader of the new generation of domestic actors. Such a person should not be completely abandoned because of a small mistake..."

When these remarks were released, the entire circle was shocked!

This guy had offended Li Lianjie badly before because of the filming of "Legend of White Snake". This time he brought up the mistakes made by Chen Long to speak for Bing Zhang. It was like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey!
Although he deleted the article less than half an hour after it was published, it had already been reprinted by the media before that.

For a time, he was constantly ridiculed in the industry, and Yang Zai and Giant Power Pictures were completely sentenced to death.

Having offended two big guys in a row, what else could this be but courting death?
……

In order to save trouble, Chen Fei came up with a new operation that was quite novel in the circle!

He held the premiere of "Black Coal, Thin Ice", the celebration parties for "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" and "The Martian", and the joining party for Zhong Lifang at the same time and venue.

The end result is that almost all companies or individuals who received invitation letters were absent.

There is no way, after all this banquet is hosted by China Film Group. Who in the film and television industry dares not to give face to China Film Group?

This also meant that the guests who entered the venue saw the promotional posters of the three movies "Black Coal, Thin Ice", "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" and "The Martian".

The former won this year's Golden Bear and Silver Bear awards for Best Actor, while the latter broke the 20 billion box office as a mainstream film. The last one even broke the record in film history, directly raising the leverage to 30 billion...

And these are all the achievements made by Feiyue Films in the first half of 2014.

In just half a year, the box office revenue alone has exceeded 15 billion.

Just thinking about it, everyone can't hide their envy and jealousy!

And tonight, as one of the protagonists, Zhong Lifang finally experienced what it means to "lean under a big tree for shade."

Back when she was the general manager of Pony.com, whenever she encountered an occasion like tonight, she was always the one who tried to please everyone.

But now, she has suddenly transformed herself into the object of flattery by many people whom she used to need to please and fawn over.

It can be said that the light boat has passed through thousands of mountains!
