After instructing Xijie to cultivate the acting skills of "Li Zhien", Chen Fei went back to China directly.

Another email came from Hollywood.

Relying on Universal's strong global distribution capabilities, "Dangerous Laughter" finally earned $103 million at the box office in more than 20 countries and regions around the world at a cost of $17 million.

The local box office figure in North America is $99.09 million.

The two want to add and break the $200 million mark!

When Universal Pictures announced the situation, for a while, all major independent Hollywood studios couldn't hold back their excitement and began to try to contact Chen Fei.

This ability to make money is simply crazy!

At the same time, "Latent", which was produced by Volton Pictures, Chen Fei, and Wen Ziren, also exceeded $150 million at the total box office.

Although it has been drawn from the big screen, the sale of DVDs and copyrights has only officially begun, which is another huge profit!

Chen Fei added a huge amount of money to his dollar account.

Of course, this money was not idle, all of it was invested by him in Longxiang Capital, and various investments were made.

…

After the plane landed in the capital, Chen Fei first went back to the courtyard house he bought at a high price.

The reinstallation has ended, and the decoration company has sent a message asking him to go back and accept it.

When I saw Liu Ping'an again, he was wearing a hard hat and running back and forth in the house, directing the cleaners to be meticulous.

Seeing Chen Fei walk in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Chen, the decoration has ended, wait for the workers to clean up this place, and then dry it, and you can officially move in in September."

"yes, okay."

Chen Fei nodded and followed him to start the acceptance.

The exterior decoration is no problem, the fence, monitoring, atmosphere lighting, flooring, walls, these should be installed, should be renovated are very perfect.

Walking into the innermost courtyard and making sure that there was no one around, Liu Ping'an lowered his voice and said, "The secret door has also been made for you, let's go and visit?" ”

"Okay." Chen Fei is quite interested in this.

Liu Ping'an led the way in front and said with great interest: "I have been watching this area for two or three days, the west side of your house is facing Qianhai, and the north side is a tributary of the Jade River in Qianhai, so it is definitely not possible to drive in these two directions."

I also looked in the other two directions, if you want to get out of the car, there is only one open-air parking lot nearby that can be operated, but the distance is too far, a full kilometer!

This distance to dig an underground passage is unrealistic, not only a matter of money, but also involves the underground pipe network and so on, which is very complicated and troublesome. ”

The capital's underground network is very complex, and digging a kilometer of underground passages must be wishful thinking.

Chen Fei asked curiously, "So what?" How did you end up designing it? ”

Liu Ping'an replied: "I think about it, and there is only one way, which is to leave people without cars, and the big deal is that people go out first, and then go outside to drive."

This is much simpler, because more than a meter away from the west wall, there is the back of a shop in Houhai, which sells tourist souvenirs.

The position behind the house is shaded by some willow trees, so it has become a place for tourists to defecate in the open.

The secret door opened in this position just right, and then I asked the management office of Houhai to install iron fences on both sides, so that tourists can't enter, you can just take the key to open it yourself. ”

While talking, the two of them had already come to a very hidden warehouse in the courtyard of Sanjin.

There were several rows of brand new tool shelves in the room, only they were empty now.

"You step back."

Liu Ping'an first let Chen Fei leave the place, and then walked to the shelf against the wall with a mysterious face, and then stretched out his hand to a hidden position on the back of the shelf.

As he pulled slightly, he saw that the shelves in front of him and the row of shelves next to it began to slide slowly to both sides at the same time, without the slightest movement.

"Yo? So amazing? ”

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, very satisfied.

There was a gap of about two meters between the two rows of shelves before the movement stopped.

Chen Fei walked over, only to see a door faintly visible on the wall.

The width of this door is narrower than that of the house, and there is no doorknob on it, and the white paint painted is the same color as the wall, which is really difficult to see without looking carefully.

Liu Ping'an's tone was full of emotion, "It took a lot of effort to make this door, I specially found the master to come over, and I used his family heirloom ancient method, handmade." ”

While speaking, Liu Ping'an began to demonstrate.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the door, stomped his feet in front of the door a few times, and then the door suddenly moved!

The door protruded in its entirety, then slid to the right.

Soon, Chen Fei saw the thick tree trunks outside, and the voices of tourists came faintly.

Then he looked down at the ground, all of which were paved with bluestone slabs, but there were a few stone slabs in front of the door that seemed to protrude slightly, and nothing unusual could be seen in the others.

The terrain outside the door is lower, the ground is newly paved with bluestone, very flat, and there are many willow trees planted around it, which is very hidden.

"The exit is on the north side." Liu Ping'an reminded in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's see."

The two walked more than ten meters one after the other and came to the north exit.

A stout and tall iron railing connected the walls of the house to a residential house, and in the middle of the railing there was an iron gate with a hidden lock.

Chen Fei subconsciously looked up and saw that the iron railings more than two meters high and the walls of his house were filled with barbs, as well as several cameras.

Liu Ping'an added, "In addition to cameras and barbs, I also arranged for the company to install an infrared anti-theft system, and there are sensors on the top of the fence every other section, once someone climbs over, it will cut off the infrared light, and the alarm system will be activated." ”

"Where's the birds?"

"Don't worry, it's already equipped with a bird repellent device, and those birds can't fly."

"Okay, that's good."

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction.

…

The follow-up process is the final paragraph.

After looking at the invoice handed by Liu Ping'an and confirming that there was no problem, Chen Fei signed his name and wrote him a check.

"We have a cooperation with a housekeeping company, and we will give away a one-year door-to-door cleaning service for free, I will leave you a phone number, just call if you need it.

There is also a three-year warranty period on our side, and you can contact our company if you have any questions. ”

"Okay."

Chen Fei responded, looked around, and secretly sighed in his heart.

"Dude is also settled in the capital!"

By the time the housekeeping company has finished cleaning, it's not too early.

Chen Fei didn't go to the hotel either, he went directly to the master bedroom, ready to experience it tonight.

All the daily necessities were purchased by the decoration company, even including bed sheets and bedding, which were all purchased by Chen Fei.

My own home is comfortable to sleep in, the bed is soft, and it is big enough that two or three people will not look crowded when lying together.

Meimei slept well, and after waking up the next morning, Chen Fei called the old man directly.

"Old man, you clean up the house, I'll go back and pick you up now, your eldest grandson has bought a house in the capital, I can take you over to live."

"Yo? Bought a house? ”

The old man smiled happily, and didn't say that he didn't want to go into the city to live, so he promised to clean up immediately.

The young people in the village have gone out to work, and the remaining old men and old ladies are working in the fields every day, and the old man can't talk to them.

The grandson has bought a house in a big city, and the old man must be happy to come over.

Speaking of which, the old man used to live in a big city, but later because of some unavoidable reasons, he ran to that remote village.

"Alas, I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and things are not people!"

Carrying a suitcase, walking on the streets of Houhai, the old man was full of emotion.

"Haha, you will get used to it after a while of familiarity, and if you have time to go to the park for a walk, you will have a twilight love, and you will easily integrate into the big city."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Fei was kicked on the buttocks.

"Hey, you kid? Still kidding me? ”

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Then when are you going to bring me a granddaughter-in-law back? You are also not too young, hurry up and give birth to a baby, while I am not old now, I can take you for a few years. ”

“……”

The matter of twilight love stopped.

After entering the house, the old man sighed again, and kept muttering that he was finally happy with Chen Fei.

"You just live in a down-to-earth manner, you can go wherever you want to play on weekdays, the house is dirty and there is housekeeping, just make a phone call, I will give you some money in the card, buy whatever you want, and spend it as you like."

"Okay."

The old man was not polite to him, leisurely chose a house for himself, and began to pack his luggage.

…

After accompanying the old man for two days and familiarizing him with the surrounding environment, Chen Fei flew directly to the magic capital.

"Thief Family" is about to start.

All the actors have been put in place, and with the cooperation of Shangying, Chen Fei led all the members of the crew to open a press conference.

Han Sanping came to the scene in person and supported him with Ren Zhonglun.

A reporter asked curiously: "Director Chen, there are rumors that your new movie will be in the style of a literary film, is this true or false?" ”

"It's really a literary film." Chen Fei had no intention of hiding it.

"Are you going to win the prize? Are you confident? ”

"It's not easy to say, before the film comes out, no one dares to say whether they have confidence or not."

Chen Fei spoke modestly, but the reporters were agitated.

According to their understanding of Chen Fei, although he never boasted about Haikou, his final results often exceeded expectations.

And the more humble you are, the better your grades!

It's like the Golden Bear.

At that time, everyone thought that it was already awesome for "No Man's Land" to enter the main competition unit, but who would have thought that he would actually win the Golden Bear trophy back!

"What do you think of the competition for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film between "Night Banquet" and "Full of Golden Armor" in the city?"

Hearing this, Chen Fei turned his head with some curiosity.

It's a reporter from Sohu.

With a chuckle, Chen Fei shook his head, "I'm sorry, I haven't paid attention to these either, but I really hope that domestic films can win awards, and I also hope that Director Zhang and Director Feng can make a name for themselves in Hollywood with Chinese movies!" ”

This is very much in line with the expectations of the reporters on the central mother's side.

It's bright enough!

Look at Lu Chuan again, what is that horse riding?

The reporters of NetEase's family stood quietly on the side before, and they didn't say much, but they asked a big question coldly.

"Director Chen, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was officially announced yesterday, and Director Zhang Jizhong said that he had invited you to play Wei Xiaobao? But you politely refused, is there such a thing? ”

Hearing this question, Chen Fei almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Zhang Dabeard has been very miserable in the past two days, and has become the target of criticism by many actors.

Actor Du Chun even held a press conference, accusing the casting activity of being completely hype, and wanted to call on all the actors in the circle to boycott Zhang Jizhong.

The explosion of "The Condor Heroes" made Zhang Dabeard see a feasible hype plan.

But he never expected that when he used it in "The Legend of Deer and Ding" now, he was severely criticized by those actors in the circle who had been rubbed off on their fame.

In fact, the key is that he delayed the schedules and time of those actors.

Whether the casting can be passed or not is a matter of one sentence.

But for the sake of hype, what is the first test, the second test, the third test, the final test, and the makeup test......

After a set of processes, the actors were exhausted and delayed time.

"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Chen Fei said: "Today is mainly the launch conference of "Thief Family", and some questions that are off topic can be carried out in the follow-up interview..."

Chen Fei was not ready to let Zhang Dabeard rub his own heat.

…

After the press conference, "Thief Family" officially entered the filming period.

Wang Zhiwen, Zhou Xun, Zhu Zhu, Wan Qian, Jiang Long, Zhang Zifeng......

All the actors are in filming mode.

In fact, it is quite a coincidence, at this time, it happened to be during the holiday, and Jiang Long and Zhang Zifeng did not have to worry about delaying their studies.

The parents of both parties were on the set, and Chen Fei promised them that the filming could be completed before the start of school on September 1.

This is a literary film with a realistic theme, and there are no CG special effects in it, which mainly reflects the acting skills of the actors and the level of the director's control of the overall story.

A few days after filming started here, "Lust and Caution" over there also announced the list of actors.

Liang Chaowei, Tang Wei.

It's time to come or it's coming!

Ning Hao called Chen Fei back, saying that Tian Yu's state was very bad and he wanted him to help enlighten him.

"Is the scene over there filmed? After filming, you asked him to come over, just play a role on my side, and I'll have a good chat with him. ”

This situation is definitely unacceptable to any normal man.

Except, of course, for patients with NTR pathologies......

"Thief Family" is being filmed, and the promotion of "Source Code" has begun.

Liu Yifei's self-titled album has been very popular recently, after all, there is no record in the entire music industry that the first record of a new singer has been released in Asia.

is worthy of being a fairy sister, something that ordinary people don't dare to think about at all, but it is not difficult for her at all.

That's the power of visibility.

And in order to catch up on this wave of popularity, and Liu Yifei has not been too busy recently, Chen Fei simply sent her to participate in some shows first.

Occasionally, when he is free, he will go to some variety shows or talk shows with Liu Yifei.

For a while, the scandal between the two began to spread in the circle again!

…

After conducting an interview with "Source Code" on Shangying's side, the two chatted while walking to the urban village near Lujiazui.

"Hey? I should be rubbing your heat, right? ”

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Liu Yifei grinned, "Then how are you going to compensate me?" I'm not a hot guy for anyone. ”

"Oh? What compensation do you want? ”

"I still want to film, I want to make a heroine scene, I have been practicing dance and martial arts for a long time, but I don't have any opportunities to show it."

"You play a lot in the Condor Heroes, right? Isn't that enough? ”

"It's all fancy shelf, just kicking, dancing swords, there are no difficult movements, I like to ride horses, I like to dance guns and swords."

Watching Liu Yifei walk forward while comparing the various martial arts movements he learned, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't see it before, there is still a violent factor hidden in the heart of the fairy sister?"

"That's it!"

Liu Yifei pouted, wiped her thumb under the tip of her nose, and said proudly: "My idol is Mulan, who served in the army on behalf of my father!" Why can't I do what others can do? ”

Mulan?!

The moment he heard this name, Chen Fei's face was suddenly stunned, and he subconsciously stopped.

"What's wrong with you? Let's go? What are you doing in a daze? ”

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Fei, who was standing motionless in place, with a hint of puzzlement flashing on her face.

"Oh, it's fine, just one thing came to mind."

Chen Fei responded casually.

The story of "Mulan" is very good, but it's a pity that the face of the previous life was not filmed by that group of gringos, and a lot of unreasonable factors were crammed into the mess.

If he is asked to reshoot, he will definitely not be fooled, at least it must be in line with history.

"Come, come, come! Move all your filming equipment, we're moving, don't get in the way! ”

A sudden voice not far away interrupted Chen Fei's thoughts.

He subconsciously raised his head and saw four or five middle-aged men dressed as migrant workers carrying snakeskin bags and shouting outside the crew's filming venue.

In places like urban villages, the roads are already crowded.

There is a lot of equipment used in filming, which will inevitably cause road blockages, which will cause great inconvenience to the surrounding residents.

At first, everyone was quite dissatisfied, but after getting some small favors, everyone didn't care.

But this kind of moving thing is definitely unavoidable.

"Alas!"

Feng Taoxin sighed, and could only shout to the props group, "Brothers, let these uncles go first." ”

There was another cry of mourning on the props team, and the shooting track that was finally built was really difficult to adjust after the error, which was not only time-consuming, but also laborious, which also made everyone very dissatisfied.

But if you are not satisfied, there is no way, the terrain is limited, and the shooting scenes are limited, so you can only cooperate.

"Director Chen", "Feige"...

Seeing Chen Fei coming over, a group of people in the crew were busy shouting.

"Everyone work hard, let the residents come over first, I have a treat tonight, let's go to shabu-shabu, just to reward the brothers for their hard work in the past few days."

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that everyone was alive and well.

Feng Taoxin came over and chattered: "This situation is very troublesome, and we are most afraid of encountering this kind of problem when filming, which not only delays time, but also easily causes contradictions."

Damn, when are we going to build a venue like Hengdian Film and Television City? It is used to shoot our own company's movies and TV series, and it is fun to think about it! ”

Make a venue like Hengdian Film and Television City?

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Chen Fei's mind!

it?

Why not?

Choose a suitable terrain and get a site for the company, which will also save you trouble in the future.

It doesn't cost much, at most one or two movies will be done, and you just need to get a suitable venue, and the buildings inside will slowly fill in.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly felt a little moved.

As for site selection...

The Bashu region seems to be a good choice!

Chen Fei had always wanted to do something about the disaster two years later.

If you propose to build a site similar to Hengdian Film and Television City in that area, and then let the residents inside move in advance, can you reduce the damage?

With great power comes great responsibility!

You can't just just watch and do nothing, right?

In that case, what's the point of being born again?
