241, Sino-US co-production, Huayi big move, the third master is not to be outdone, and the new challenge task is announced! Pass
On the morning of the 29th, Hugo arrived on the set on time.
"Director Chen, good morning, I haven't seen you for a long time, haha, I miss it very much!"
In private, Hu Ge is the kind of pure comic style, just like the "Sedum" he plays, playing treasures and being funny.
"Let's go eat first."
Chen Fei smiled and pulled him towards a morning market outside the urban village.
In the last life, Hu Ge accidentally had a car accident on the highway because he was rushing back to the magic capital to participate in the promotion of the new drama, resulting in a tragedy that decided the rest of his life.
And this time, Chen Fei decided to give Rahug a hand.
Although he didn't know if the wings of his butterfly could play a role, since he had met him, he couldn't choose to die or not save him, right?
While chewing on the fritters, Chen Fei asked, "How did you shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" Is it almost finished? ”
Since reaching a cooperation with Tang Ren, Chen Fei will also enjoy a certain share of investment in some TV dramas.
For example, this new Condor Shooting starring Hu Ge, Lin Yichen, Liu Shishi, and Yuan Hong, Chen Fei is also one of the co-producers.
"It's coming." Hu Ge took a sip of tofu brain, and muttered a little inarticulately, "I've already filmed more than half of the film, and I'll finish filming in another month." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and asked, "By the way, "Latent" starring Sun Honglei is a TV series invested and produced by your company, right?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that yesterday in Hengdian, I saw that the lurking was completed, and there were a lot of reporters around, and some of them looked familiar."
Hatched?
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react yet.
"Huh? You don't know it yet, do you? Hugo looked at him in amazement.
"You really guessed right, I really don't know."
shrugged his shoulders, Chen Fei didn't say much, he has cooperated with more scripts, and Hollywood has recently completed several horror films.
Several independent production companies called him and wanted to invite him to participate in the promotion, but he pushed him.
Busy!
It's too busy!
Even the original filming time of "Iron Man" was postponed by him, and he ran around some time ago, which made him unable to keep up with the rhythm of "Thief Family".
September 1st is the beginning of the school season, and the two young actors have to go back to school.
Zhang Zifeng's role is over, and he went back to his hometown overnight after finishing last night to prepare for the admission plan for the new semester.
There is still a scene on Jiang Long's side, and Chen Fei decided to finish filming his scene first today.
It is also a shame that there are still 30th and 31st in August, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing to delay the young actors to go back to school.
…
After breakfast, back to the crew, filming officially began!
This is Jiang Long's last scene, and it is also the most difficult scene.
The son has a new host family, but last night, the father and son, who are not related by blood, stayed together for one night.
In front of the bus stop, my father was a little entangled and a little embarrassed and said, "Go back and apologize, just say that my uncle insisted on keeping it." ”
"Well, I'll tell."
"I'm sorry, uncle can't be in..."
"I did it on purpose, I actually got caught on purpose."
"That's right..."
The expression on the father's face was very complicated, and his waist was slightly bent, as if he could not accept that all this suffering was caused by his son.
He suddenly reached out and kept patting his son's shoulder, a little bit to blame his son, but he was afraid that his son would care, so he didn't dare to ......
The bus came from afar.
The son got into the car without hesitation and without the slightest nostalgia.
With the sound of the "booming" engine, the bus also drove forward without hesitation, and the figure of the son gradually disappeared.
It seems that after knowing this parting, the two have no connection and contact for the rest of their lives, and their father began to call incessantly, wanting to chase the speeding forward bus.
It's a pity that the two people who are already destined to be separated can get back together because of an unrealistic chase?
Outside the window, the father's figure faded away, the boy's head hanging completely, and the brim of his hat obscured his face, hiding his gaze.
The buses are going farther and farther.
As if thinking of something, the boy slowly turned his head until he turned completely sideways, and then looked out the window.
The figure outside the window faded away.
The boy took off his hat and looked at the figure that was completely submerged in the traffic, and the corners of his mouth opened slightly.
"Daddy!"
There is no sound coming out, and the camera only includes a slightly trembling mouth, which is the only time in the whole play that the boy opens his mouth to call the man who is not related by blood - Dad.
The story is very bland, just telling a separation.
However, when I saw this paragraph, everyone in the crew was silent.
Everyone has a feeling that they want to cry but can't, very depressed, very uncomfortable, like a fish in their throat.
This is life, there is no deliberate sensationalism, everything is plain, the truth is revealed, but it is shocking!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The applause on the set was sparse at first, but gradually became very enthusiastic.
This applause is dedicated to life, to the actors, and to themselves.
…
"Eavesdropping" is still in the hot period, and the box office is also growing steadily.
The completion of "Latent" caused a small sensation, and major TV stations were ready to move, and the calls were made to Chen Fei's side.
However, no matter how favorable the conditions offered by other TV stations, he is still more inclined to cooperate with Mango Channel.
Ni Xuelin sent a message from his side that the script filling of "My Leader, My Regiment" has come to an end, and he is conducting the final inspection with Kang Honglei.
The Thai crew has also arrived in Thailand, and the filming is going smoothly, and it is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
After getting the script of "Eavesdropping 2", Zhuang Cheng announced the news that he was going to shoot a sequel as soon as possible, which also made the saliva of other companies almost flow out.
The emperor made a conspicuous bag appropriately, and also announced the news that "Ip Man 2" is being filmed.
For a while, Hong Kong Island was a complete sensation, and even the box office with "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was a bit back.
Guo Jingjing went abroad for intensive training, and Huo Qigang, the love brain, finally stopped chasing his wife and started the casting of "October Siege".
Just when the entertainment industry was about to be given to Bao Yuan by "Chen Fei"'s various investments, Huayi finally couldn't sit still.
Some media revealed that a big production with an investment of 70 million US dollars is looking for actresses, Sino-American co-production, the male protagonist has been decided, and the top lineup in Asia......
The moment they saw this information, the first thing that everyone in the entertainment industry thought of was Chen Fei.
Sino-US co-production, or 70 million US dollars, who else can make such a big deal besides him?
However, in the afternoon of the same day, a reporter took a photo of Hollywood director Rob Minkoff and Huayi's two presidents having dinner.
Could it be Huayi???
For a while, internal entertainment was restless again!
In order to get accurate information, some reporters deliberately blocked outside the Huayi Building.
The two brothers of the Wang family did not hide it, held a press conference, and took the initiative to announce the news.
"The investment of 70 million US dollars, Sino-US co-production, the theme is to promote kung fu, and it has been confirmed that the male protagonists are Chen Long and Li Lian, the film will be released worldwide, and the remaining actresses will be auditioned throughout Asia..."
On the day the news was confirmed, luxury cars were crowded outside the Huayi Building!
The male protagonist has been decided, but this female protagonist and supporting role or something, you can also work hard to fight for it.
Star artists from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other regions have flown to China, hoping to get a role.
This is a big piece of fat, even if you can't bite the freshest bite, it is enough to lick it outside.
Chen Long and Li Lian, these two have never worked together in the past, not to mention that both of them are international superstars, and they are synonymous with "kung fu" in the eyes of foreigners.
The outside world applauded, and in the eyes of others, the cooperation between the two means that the film is half "successful"!
Chen Fei specially called Liu Yifei to ask about the situation.
On the other end of the phone, the girl didn't have the slightest idea of concealment, "Director Minkov said that I am very suitable for this role, but it may not be settled in a short time."
Mr. Wang of Huayi put forward a condition to my mother, if you want to play the heroine, you must join Huayi, and they can't flow the fertilizer water into the fields of outsiders..."
Chen Fei pursed his lips, as expected!
Huayi has always taken the path of exchanging resources for actors, even if it will offend other brokerage companies, but they don't care at all.
The two brothers of the Wang family mainly focused on the word "digging", and the hoe dance flew up, and they didn't think about cultivating new actors at all.
It's just that compared with those actors, stars and brokerage companies, the film and television production companies in the industry are not very happy.
Hua Yi quietly ate a solo meal, and didn't think about dividing the cake out at all, and didn't even hand out a signal.
"White-eyed wolf, eat alone, there will be other opportunities in the future, take care of them, and Zhang Wei will be the same, they are all picked..."
Han Sanping kept complaining on the phone.
But his complaints can't hinder anything, and with the blessing of this Sino-American co-production, Huayi's attention has been increasing recently.
…
On September 1st, "Thief Family" was finally officially completed.
Zhongying proposed to hold a finale banquet, but Chen Fei didn't object, Han Sanye didn't like Huayi in the past two days, and deliberately wanted to compete with them for heat.
When the news broke, the media were in a trance.
That's it?
Filming started on July 10 and finished on September 1, and it only took 50 days to finish a movie?
You must know that "Lust and Caution" will only be filmed for one-third of the time, and Lu Chuan's "Nanjing! Nanking! It's only been a long time since it was turned on!
When the news headline came out, the words "fast gunner" were prominently listed!
At the same time, on the day of the finale banquet of "Thief Family", Director Feng took advantage of the popularity of the release of "Night Banquet" to announce that he would open a new play.
"The Assembly"
This is the name of the new film.
According to Feng Xiaogang's words at the press conference, this will be a war film, and the script is adapted from Yang Jinyuan's "Lawsuit".
No further information was revealed.
Seeing that they couldn't get any useful news, the reporters simply asked about the news about "The King of Kung Fu", which directly made Feng Xiaogang's face darken.
I'm promoting a new film, what do you mean by asking other movies?
Thanks to Wang Zhonglei, he quickly pulled the topic over, and after a few vague words, he hurriedly ended the new film press conference.
He knows what kind of temper Feng Xiaogang is, if this group of reporters asks more daringly, this old cannon will really scold!
…
Baoyan didn't mean much to Chen Fei, anyway, he wasn't going to class, just to get a qualification.
After reporting back to school and filling out some information, he was ready to go to the premiere of the night party.
Feng Xiaogang specially sent him an invitation, and he happened to have nothing to do, so he was ready to go and have a good time.
It's just that I didn't think about it, as soon as I walked out of the teaching building, I bumped into Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Yanzi head-on, and walked over from the other side with a smile.
"Director Chen?"
Huang Xiaoming shouted in some surprise.
"Huh? Why are you here? Chen Fei also looked at the two of them in some surprise.
Huang Xiaoming explained: "I just happened to be admitted to graduate school, and the two of us came to report and fill in some information by the way. ”
"Oh, that's it, then you guys are busy first, I still have something to do here, go first."
As he spoke, Chen Fei was ready to leave first.
He really didn't want to talk to Zhao Yanzi more, this woman had already started to make a moth, she was determined and wanted to be capital.
"Where are you going?"
"The premiere of 'The Night Banquet'."
"Let's go too, let's go together, we can talk on the way."
couldn't resist Huang Xiaoming, Chen Fei could only get into the same car with the two of them.
As the hottest news in the past few days, the news of "The King of Kung Fu" was inevitably mentioned, and Huang Xiaoming's face was full of envy.
"Two kung fu superstars, this lineup is not an exaggeration to say that it is a global attention, and it will definitely attract global attention after its release."
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you sign a contract with Huayi?" Didn't get a character in it? ”
"Nope." Huang Xiaoming shook his head and said bluntly, "This movie is not something that can be added casually, and the two Wang always want to use this to absorb some fresh blood from the brokerage department."
There are a lot of people staring at the heroine's side, and all companies are gambling, and it's impossible to determine in a short period of time. ”
Zhao Yanzi listened quietly on the side, her eyes fluttering, as if she was thinking about something.
…
The premiere was lively!
Although Chen Fei had expected it, he still didn't expect that the first- and second-tier actresses in the circle would be there!
Fan and Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Huo Siyan, Zeng Li, Huang Shengyi, Jiang Wenli, Zhang Jingchu...
"Tsk, this pomp, $70 million is really attractive enough."
Huang Xiaoming nodded silently on the side, "Being able to play against Li Lian and Chen Long is not something that ordinary actresses can withstand." ”
Sina's reporter saw Chen Fei and came up to say hello to him.
"Director Chen, are you here too?"
"How about coming over and shopping, did you get any useful news?"
"Yes!" The reporter is also an old acquaintance, and he did not hide it at all, and said bluntly: "Eighty percent of all the first- and second-tier actresses on the scene have passed the first round of auditions." ”
"Huh, thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge?"
"Almost..."
Chen Fei's arrival attracted a lot of attention, but because he didn't have any plans for a new film at present, everyone just came over to say hello and went to other places to socialize.
Feng Xiaogang came over and said very seriously: "Later, you can take a good look at this film and give me a pertinent opinion, I'm a little unsure." ”
"Okay."
Chen Fei nodded, secretly thinking about how to give this advice.
The main thing is to save some face for him.
After the hustle and bustle, the movie was officially released.
Chen Fei sat in the middle to the right, with Feng Xiaogang on the left and Uncle Ge on the right.
There were Liu Yifei and Jing Tian sitting behind them, the two girls were quite quiet and did not communicate too much.
Inspired by Hamlet, one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, The Night Banquet tells a tragic story of power and love in an ancient Chinese court struggle set in five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
After 131 minutes, the only thing that impressed Chen Fei was the curve of his cocked hips...
"The production is first-class, and the script is hard."
This is Chen Fei's objective evaluation of this movie.
Feng Xiaogang's face changed, and he was silent.
This movie is actually aimed at Zhang Yimou's "Hero", which focuses on magnificent sets, gorgeous costumes and majestic momentum, wanting to conquer the audience visually.
It's a pity that neither Feng Xiaogang nor Chen Kaige understood what the selling point of "Hero" was.
The audience will also have aesthetic fatigue, "Hero" pioneered a domestic big production, and fans went to the cinema to see the novelty, macro, and Qin Jun's posture of shouting "wind"!
But what about "Wu Ji" and "Night Banquet"?
They barely learned the form, but what they didn't know was that the audience's vision had become higher.
While seeing the big scenes, they also began to pursue the core of the story of the movie.
In this regard, neither Chen Kaige nor Feng Xiaogang failed to do this, they just kept filling the movie with all kinds of big scenes, completely abandoning the core of the story.
…
After the premiere, Chen Fei did not attend the dinner, but went to China Film.
As soon as they met, Han Sanping asked excitedly: "How is "Night Banquet"? Can it surpass Heroes? Who's better than your Source Code? ”
"How can I say that..."
Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "Maybe the box office and word of mouth will lose." ”
"Huh?" Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, and some didn't react.
In order to make his understanding more painful, Chen Fei continued to add: "It's almost the same level as "Wuji". ”
As soon as these words came out, the third master was suddenly silent.
It's too much to poke his lungs...
"You haven't said why you're calling me here in such a hurry?"
Chen Fei changed the topic in time.
"Oh, there's good news." Han Sanping followed Chen Fei's question and said: "Wu Yu is ready to open a new film, focusing on epic war blockbusters, we have had several meetings, and it has probably been decided." ”
Wu Yu?
Epic war blockbusters?
Two big words instantly popped up in Chen Fei's mind.
"Chibi!"
Hey? What's going on in September? Why did bad movies start piling up?
"I called you over this time just to tell you that this movie is controlled by China Film, and I can give you 20% of the investment share, see if you are interested?"
“……”
Chen Fei didn't know how to speak, counting on Wu Yu to make an epic war movie? Isn't this pure self-inflicted pleasure?
He doesn't want this investment share, he still wants to establish his "undefeated" image in front of fans.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei directly refused: "Mr. Han, thank you for your kindness, I still don't need it, I have additional plans here." ”
"Oh? New scripts again? ”
"That's not it, I'm going to build my own film and television city."
“???”
Seeing that he looked puzzled, Chen Fei could only briefly explain his plan.
However, after listening, Rao was already mentally prepared, but Han Sanye still slowed down for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"Re-duplicating a Hengdian? Exclusively for your company's films? ”
"It's mainly for my own use, of course, it's usually open to the public and available to other crews."
Han Sanping didn't continue to say anything, and after being silent for a while, she gave Chen Fei a thumbs up!
Ordinary people don't dare to start this investment, so Chen Fei has strong strength and enough liquidity, and he has the courage and confidence to practice.
After leaving China Film Group, Chen Fei went straight to the airport, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and called Wang Yongfeng, vice chairman of the National Mountaineering Association, and Flory, an investor in Red Bull.
"Are you all in place?"
"Well, it's already in place, just waiting for you to come."
"Ok, then announce it to the outside world, I'm walking to the airport now, we'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Fei slowly closed his eyes, and his consciousness was immersed in the system.
The new mission has been announced, and the next step is to get it done.
[Go to Siguniang Mountain in the east of Xiaojin County, AB Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and complete an unprotected ice climbing challenge at the 6,250-meter-high Qimei Peak!] 】
[Mission Level: S Rank!] 】
