221. Climbing Mount Everest without oxygen? Extreme parachuting? What are you doing on horseback? (Ask for a commuter pass)
When he arrived in the snow area, Chen Fei saw the prototype of the "Noah's Ark" built by the crew here.
Although it is not as beautiful as what you see on the big screen, the shape and volume are exactly the same as those presented on the screen!
"Good fellows? How much does it cost? β
Walker, the producer standing next to him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just this terrain, as well as those equipment and props, will cost about 1,500 US dollars." β
$15 million?
120 million RMB?
"Tsk, you're really willing."
Walker didn't care at all, and said in a very sparse and ordinary tone, "Big investment can be exchanged for big income, and Hollywood's A-class productions all have such expectations." β
"That's just as well."
Roland Emmerichie and his team are setting up all kinds of lights, cameras, etc., and doing the initial test shooting.
Chen Fei saw at a glance that Feng Taoxin and others from his company's props team were also busy working together, each more diligent than the other, and their eyes seemed to be shining.
The company's filming team is still expanding, and in the past few months, many outstanding talents have come in.
These are all recommended by Nortel, and most of them are people who have good academic performance but suffer from no internship opportunities.
After confirming that there was no problem in terms of character and character, Chen Fei directly accepted all the orders.
Other companies may think about efficiency and think about whether they can afford to support so many people, but Chen Fei has never thought about it.
For the time being, he divided the shooting team into three groups.
Some of them followed "Twilight" abroad, some went to "Thai Embarrassment", and some continued to follow "2012".
These three groups of people are not fixed, they rotate every once in a while, and they are constantly cultivated in a way that brings the old with the new.
As long as Chen Fei opens a new movie, several people in the team will be divided to follow up and recruit new people at the same time.
Even including Xijie's "New World", Chen Fei arranged for some people to go over.
One is for the producer, and the other is for learning some new techniques.
In this mode of operation, Feiyue Film and Television has become the company that domestic post-production, photography, props and other majors want to go to the most.
After all, even companies such as New Picture, Huayi, Orange Sky, Bona, and Guangguang rarely have this kind of opportunity to go abroad for training.
But on Chen Fei's side, even Hollywood has a chance to go!
Based on this, the teacher in charge of the training at Nortel called him almost twice a day or sent an email to thank him for providing many employment opportunities.
Chen Fei didn't care.
As long as there is no problem in terms of character and the learning ability is strong enough, he will not refuse to come.
Emperor, Media Asia, Golden Harvest... There are also a lot of job opportunities on Hong Kong Island, as long as he speaks, there are enough jobs.
Even the crew on the Tang side's side can stuff people.
It's just that he is now quite greedy for Zhou Yi's production team, which is the top one.
I haven't seen Jiang Xuerou for a long time, and I don't know what this "heroine" has been busy with recently, it seems that since "Water Moon Cave Sky", Zhou Yi has not made any big moves.
"Director Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time..."
The sudden sound in his ears made Chen Fei suddenly come back from his thoughts.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw that Miss Jingtian, a wealthy flower in the world, was standing beside her with a smile like a flower.
"Long time no see."
Chen Fei nodded at her with a smile, and then looked behind her with some curiosity, "Didn't Mr. Lu come?" β
"No, Uncle Lu is dealing with the company's affairs, and I came alone, and he asked me to come here to find you."
"Hey? Mr. Lu is still the shopkeeper? β
quipped, but Chen Fei didn't care.
After all, Lu Zheng spent a lot of money to buy the opportunity for Jing Tian to star, and he should take care of it.
"How's the new album going?"
"Teacher Zhang Yadong is doing some post-production for me, and it is expected to be launched early next year, and I will send you a set when the time comes."
"Okay."
While nodding, Chen Fei sighed silently in his heart.
is worthy of being a "rich flower in the world", and she actually invited the producer of the princess to get her a new album, which is completely using money to open the way!
β¦
The two were chatting, when they saw people coming over not far away.
Li Xuejian, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Zhou Yang, Jiang Yiyan, Liu Yan, Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying......
These are all actors pushed over by companies that have received investment shares.
Except for Li Xuejian, most of them are young and new-generation actors, and there are no first-line actors to participate.
Chen Fei has greeted major companies in advance, this movie is a pure Hollywood apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster, even if there are Chinese faces, but most of them are cameos, and there are not many shots that can appear on the screen.
The first-line male and female artists pay attention to the noodles and coffee seats, and this kind of cameo shot of a few seconds is almost dispensable for them.
But for the new generation of actors, this is a good debut opportunity!
Think about it, I will become famous in the future, and when I am interviewed by reporters, I can proudly say that my debut is a Hollywood movie with an investment of 200 million US dollars......
Isn't this row full in an instant?
"Phineas..."
Zhu Yawen was as if she had seen her relatives, and she pounced on her, and she was directly in her arms!
"! I'm afraid I'm not going to give me a top to lie down! β
Chen Fei went up with two feet, kicking him and screaming.
Luo Jin wilted, and he also gave Zhu Yawen a kick when he got up, and directly made him complain.
"I must sue Lao Zhao when I go back, you two bullied me."
"Hahaha!"
Chen Fei and Luo Jin glanced at each other and were immediately happy.
A group of people around looked at it, and did not laugh loudly, but a trace of envy unconsciously flashed in their eyes.
can joke with Chen Fei so unscrupulously, this relationship is not ordinarily good, and they can't envy it.
"Brother Fei", "Director Chen", "Senior Brother"......
Everyone greeted each other.
has a good relationship, even if he is slightly older than him, but he still calls his brother directly.
Some reserved shouted "Director Chen", similar to Yang Mi, who directly called "senior brother".
"I heard that you joined the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"Huh?"
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Chen Fei to take the initiative to talk to her.
But soon she reacted, and nodded busily in response: "Well, yes, I joined Rong Xinda." β
Speaking of "Dream of Red Mansions", it's quite interesting.
Han Sanping turned out to be the producer, and called Chen Fei to play "Jia Baoyu", saying that his image was quite suitable for the role in the play.
After listening to it at that time, Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry.
A three-year lead period?
Keep him in shape?
What international jokes?
The two chatted to the end, and directly amused Han Sanping, and the matter was finally over.
"Come on."
encouraged her, and Chen Fei subconsciously looked at Zhao Liying again.
After the advertisement was filmed, she joined Huayi naturally, but she didn't expect that the big and small kings would push this out so quickly.
"Director Chen, let's meet again, please take care of me."
"Well, good..."
In response, he turned his eyes to Hu Ge and Liu Shishi again.
"Hey? Mr. Cai was not polite at all, and packed the two of them for me and sent them over? β
"Haha." Hu Ge said with a smile: "Originally, I was going to let Shi Shi come alone, but considering that she is still a newcomer, let me come over and cooperate." β
"Where's the Condor crew?"
"There's no rush over there, you can postpone it for a few days."
"That'll do."
β¦
After greeting Li Xuejian again, Chen Fei led a group of people to meet producer Walker and director Roland Emmerich.
Everyone was very excited, especially when they saw Roland Emmerich, they couldn't hide the excitement and surging in their hearts!
Listening to the compliments of a group of people, Roland smiled: "You are looking for the wrong person, Director Chen's status in Hollywood is not inferior to mine." β
Westerners tend to speak more directly.
And as soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions when they looked at Chen Fei suddenly became a little more shocked!
Unconsciously, has he developed to this extent in Hollywood?
"Haha, Director Roland is purely exaggerating the facts, I'm far from you."
ο½
After a brief greeting, the crew began filming.
Everything was planned in advance, so the shooting was smooth and not too much of a problem.
It's just that after the shooting is regularized, some small flaws will inevitably appear.
is like the acting skills of "Jing Tian".
As a pure newcomer, she has no acting skills at all, and Lu Zheng spent a lot of money to arrange her in the crew.
Therefore, after the start of filming, some of her problems gradually became apparent.
If it weren't for Chen Fei's side, hand-in-hand guidance, I'm afraid she would have been sent back by Roland Emmerichie on the spot.
"Since you want to enter this industry, you have to study hard, acting is the foundation of an actor's foothold, understand?"
Chen Fei was not polite to her at all, and would summarize or even reprimand her after every scene was filmed.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this, even Jing Tian himself.
She is very glad that she can accept Chen Fei's direction, after all, this is a Hundred Flowers actor, plus the experience of a Golden Bear Award film director.
No one else even has that treatment!
"I've already applied for Nortel, and I'm going to systematically study performance next year..."Jing Tian muttered quietly.
"Well, your image is very good, quite suitable for the big screen, as long as your acting skills can keep up, and Mr. Lu fully cooperates, you won't have a chance in the future."
"Thank you, Director Chen, for your encouragement."
The little girl is quite well-behaved, and no matter what she says, she has an attitude of accepting it with an open heart.
β¦
The filming progress was not slow, and it was late May in the blink of an eye.
It was at this time that Roland Emerycht and Walker approached Chen Fei and proposed a "bold idea" to him.
"Fei, is there anyone in your country who can climb Mount Everest? I needed a panoramic view of the peak, the kind that could envelop the entire mountain range, for post-production. β
So far, there are not many people who have been able to climb Mount Everest, and there are only a few waves of people who have been recorded, and it is not known whether it is a real or fake summit.
Therefore, Roland Emmericht is just trying it out.
If Chen Fei replied yes, then it would naturally be good.
But if he answers no, then work hard and do it slowly, I just hope that the effect they make is not too bad...
But in the next second, Chen Fei nodded very affirmatively.
"Yes!"
"Oh? Who is it? Can you please come over? β
"No need to please." Chen Fei shook his head, raised his hand to point at himself, and said very seriously: "I can climb Mount Everest." β
"Ah???h
Both of them were a little confused, apparently bewildered by his answer.
But Mount Everest!
8848.48οΌ
I don't know how many people in the world can't reach the top if they want to, can you do it with such a small body?
Looking at the doubts in the eyes of the two, Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am the general spokesperson of Red Bull in Asia, and it is my task to challenge the limit, and climbing Mount Everest is just my next challenge goal." β
Speaking of this, the two came back to their senses in an instant.
The sky-high endorsement fee of 100 million US dollars not only caused an uproar in China, but even caused quite a stir in Hollywood.
And they have also seen the video of the Tianmen Mountain wingsuit flight challenge.
After confirming that Chen Fei could reach the top, the two discussed for a long time, and finally decided to ask him to go to the top for filming.
"Don't worry, the task will be completed."
Taking over the camera, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, his face full of confidence.
You can complete the system tasks again, and you can also get rid of Red Bull, and by the way, you can earn another extra money, and then gain a prestige value...
What is it called?
The best of all worlds!
β¦
After agreeing with Roland Emmerich, Chen Fei called Flory and informed him of his intention to climb Mount Everest.
On the other end of the phone, Flory was directly stunned.
As the highest Mount Everest in the world today, it is located in the middle of the Himalayas and is also known as the "Roof of the World".
This mountain is a goal that mountaineers all over the world want to climb, but very few can actually accomplish it.
After all, this is no ordinary hill bag.
At an altitude of nearly 9,000 meters, the air is thin and vegetation is scarce, and the oxygen content is only 1/4 of that of the plains, and even the air pressure is much lower than that of the plains.
Except for the locals living on Everest, foreign tourists simply do not dare to stay for a long time.
If you are not a resident of the area all year round, the air pressure here can easily lead to mountain sickness, which can cause headaches, chest tightness, and even cerebral edema.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for the old ancestor to capture this side.
On the whole, none of the above is particularly dangerous, and what is even more terrifying is the harsh terrain, changeable weather, and extremely short window period of Mount Everest.
Weather, altitude, temperature, terrain...
These words used to describe in the mouths of ordinary people will form an extremely terrible killer on Mount Everest!
If you're not careful, it's going to be fatal!
Therefore, climbing Mount Everest is no less dangerous than flying in a wingsuit on Tianmen Mountain, and even more terrifying than that!
"Are you sure you want to do this? That's Mount Everest! β
Flory's voice trembled a little.
However, before he could react, Chen Fei said two more conditions to him,
"I'm going to do this with no oxygen at all, and then I'm back on the ground with a parachute."
βWhat the fuckοΌβ
Flory directly began to explode.
The so-called anaerobic means that in the whole process of climbing to the top, without any oxygen supply, it is completely based on physical fitness and hardcore climbing.
You must know that ordinary mountaineers must carry oxygen cylinders when climbing some relatively high altitude mountains, otherwise it is likely to lead to hypoxia and suffocation.
After working at Red Bull for so many years, Flory has also met a lot of people.
For example, in 1978, Reinhold Messner from Italy, together with Peter Habil of Austria, proposed to climb Mount Everest without oxygen.
Flory still clearly remembers that as soon as the news came out, the whole world almost exploded!
In particular, professors of medicine and science have said that this behavior is purely whimsical.
At that time, an academy of sciences published a report.
According to the report, the oxygen content of the air at sea level is about 20.9 percent, but once the altitude rises to 8,000 meters, this value drops rapidly to 7.8 percent.
Even for every meter of gain, it drops by 0.1%.
At an altitude of 8848, the oxygen content of the air is only 6.9%.
In this environment, without oxygen equipment, a normal person may not be able to hold out for even a minute!
And in the end, there is only one ending.
Sleep forever on the top of the mountain!
But in the end, they were slapped in the face, and Reinhold and Pedha Habil, with the assistance of the Sherpas, really managed to reach the top!
For a while, the media began to hype it up.
But since then, no one has been able to successfully complete an anaerobic ascent, let alone use a parachute to fly down from it!
This is pure death!
Listening to Flory's voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Fei was a little puzzled, "It's not that no one has ever succeeded in doing it?" There is a record of anaerobic ascent to the top, why are you so surprised? β
βFeiοΌ You must know that there were previous records of anaerobic ascents, and they did not record the whole process, and the photos and video materials sent back only showed a small part of the climbing and ascent footage.
No one followed the whole process, so who knows if they had taken oxygen on the way?
But you're different! Red Bull's requirement is to go live on every challenge! This means you can't get oxygen on the way.
And do you know what it means to skydive down from Mount Everest? β
"What?" Chen Fei was a little curious.
"It's all about looking for death! And don't you know? You've missed the best window! β
The so-called window period is actually the best time to reach the top.
Usually, the best time to summit Mount Everest is from March to May, or from September to October.
During these two periods, the weather on Everest will be very stable, which is a rare window period.
But if you miss these two times, you will enter the summer period, or the winter period.
Summer is the dreadest time of the year on Everest!
At that time, the powerful monsoon wind will carry a large amount of water vapor and completely envelop the entire Himalayas.
This kind of climate is not observable, it may be sunny one second, but the next second it will be a torrential downpour or a blizzard.
In addition, even on sunny days, the ice and snow will melt due to high temperatures, and the change of rain and snow will cause drastic changes in the ice structure.
Based on this, avalanches will be unusually frequent.
The winter period is even more terrifying, because of the influence of the northwest cold snap, the temperature of Mount Everest at that time will come to the lowest moment of the year.
The snowstorm is completely covered, and it is easy for climbers to get lost and die here!
And if Chen Fei decides to climb the mountain now, then he will experience the summer period.
Monsoons, heavy rains, blizzards, avalanches......
Even if only one of these conditions is taken out, it will be a fatal crisis for ordinary people.
But Chen Fei is now going to challenge four at the same time?
Climbing to the top and skydiving out of season?
What the is this!
"I don't agree with you doing this!" Flory said very seriously.
Chen Fei smiled and used the old stalk in his memory, "Flory, I don't want your consent, I just need my consent." β
"But you're looking for death!"
Florey is obviously a little anxious, in his opinion, Chen Fei is a very good, very potential extreme athlete.
He should grow steadily step by step, instead of killing himself!
"I'm confident."
"Where did you get your faith?"
"With my hand...... Ahh It's just my physical fitness! I can complete the wingsuit flight of Tianmen Mountain! I can win the IRONMAN Triathlon World Championship! Just by ......"
ββ¦β¦β
Flory was silent.
Before, he was so shocked that he lost his mind, but now that he came back to his senses and thought about it, with his understanding of Chen Fei's physical fitness, it seemed that this kid could really do it!
"Hoo ......"
After a long time, Flory let out a sigh of relief and asked solemnly, "Fei?" Have you really figured it out? You still have a lot of good years to enjoy, and once you get into a crisis, it will all go up in smoke! β
"People always have to fight for their dreams, and I just hope that I can not come to this world in vain."
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you! I'll see it myself! I hope you can return safely! β
"Haha, then you must remember to prepare champagne, and when I return, drink heartily!"
β¦
Before last year, Chen Fei had always used the system as a tool for him to obtain rewards.
He even occasionally gets bored with why a new one pops up after it's over.
But with the success of one challenge after another, the issuance of one reward after another, and the rising status of his position in various fields, he suddenly understood a truth.
Reliving a lifetime, he can still persist in completing the task until now, isn't he just to make up for the regret in the heart of the young man who moved bricks on the construction site before he was reborn?
How many years is there in life?
Even if he can live to be 100 years old, he has already used one-fifth of it, and then he has not much time left for sleeping, eating, and traveling.
So, why can't you make your life a little more exciting?
Climb Mount Everest without oxygen!
High-altitude parachute!
A wonderful life will begin to bloom from here!
Even if I don't come back alive in the end, I won't regret it.
Chen Fei has even made a will, except for the one given to the old man, he will donate the rest to Sichuan Province.
Even if he unfortunately left this world, he also made efforts after that catastrophe!
Hanging up the phone, he slowly raised his head, looked at the steep mountain peaks surrounded by thick fog in the distance, and said in an extremely firm tone:
"Mount Everest, waiting for me to overthrow you!"
