278, Huang Bo's "heavy responsibility", six generations of directors? It's okay today, tick the bar and listen to the music!
At the end of July, the news of the official completion of "Mulan" dominated the headlines of major portals.
For this big production with an investment of up to 70 million US dollars, both fans and major film companies in the circle are almost paying attention to its shooting status throughout the whole process.
All the actors are Chinese, but the investment is close to Hollywood Class A productions!
There is no doubt that this will be another "masterpiece" that will charge towards the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Five years have passed since Li Press's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Zhang Yimou's "Hero", but there is still no director in China who can touch the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The follow-up "Wu Ji", "Night Banquet", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" were all blocked from the Oscars.
Even with Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou, three famous domestic directors, they have been ridiculed by netizens for a long time because of this.
A bloody case caused by steamed buns, a magical version of Shakespeare, and a bloody case caused by a bunch of steamed buns......
Three street movies in a row almost collapsed the Dao hearts of the three people.
And now, after the successive failures of the three directors, Chen Fei was born with his investment of 70 million US dollars in "Mulan"!
Will the film be able to prove his dominance in the commercial film industry once again?
A lot of people are waiting and seeing!
…
After the banquet, Chen Fei went back to the company first.
The casting of "Painted Skin" is in the final stage, and the filming location is currently being planned and the behind-the-scenes team is arranged.
This year, the bureau issued a document requiring the filming of film and television dramas to be strictly restricted in the core areas of various natural scenic spots and protected areas.
Jiuzhaigou is a key protection area.
Chen Dadao is also very criticized, and almost single-handedly promoted the implementation of the policy.
"Who are the actors of "Painted Skin" selected at present?"
Ning Hao casually handed over a list and said at the same time: "Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Jiao Enjun, Chen Hao, Zhu Zhu, Wu Jing......"
"Huang Xiaoming plays Wang Sheng?"
"Well, yes, he came over and tried the show a few times, and I think it's quite suitable."
"It's quite suitable, that is, his acting skills are all five or five with everyone, and he belongs to the kind of person who is strong when he is strong, and weak when he is weak, you have to keep an eye on it when you start filming."
"Haha, I know this."
Ning Hao was also amused, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are already recognized by insiders.
When encountering this kind of actor, it will test the director's skills very much, and whether he can train him well depends on whether Ning Hao is willing to work hard.
As long as he can train it, Huang Xiaoming will inevitably bring a huge surprise to fans.
As for the original male protagonist Chen Kun, he has recently been caught in the news wave of "his son is five years old, and the woman keeps it secret".
The confidentiality agreement is really good, the baby was only exposed when he was five years old, and he was even more in the rising stage of his career when he gave birth, and I don't know how he made up his mind to give birth.
…
After discussing the plot and shooting details with Ning Hao for more than half an hour, Chen Fei finally waited for Huang Bo, who was long overdue.
After the finale banquet of "Mulan", Huang Bo said that he was going back to his hometown, but he turned around and ran away.
At the beginning, Chen Fei promised him that he would give him a script after the film was completed, and at the same time fund him to create.
Acting and directing is excellent, this is really true in Huang Bo.
He is now full of confidence in his own directing, but he regrets that he does not have a suitable script in his hands.
"Director Chen, Director Ning..."
While saying hello, Huang Bo handed over the two big bags in his hand.
"What's that?"
Chen Fei took it, opened the bag curiously and looked inside.
I saw that there were several hairy crabs tied up by five flowers!
"Good fellows? Qingdao seafood? ”
"Yes." Huang Bo nodded, and said with a smile: "I specially brought it from my hometown, this thing is fresh, you can take it back and eat it, it tastes quack." ”
Ning Hao's eyes lit up: "Yo! This thing of yours is quite suitable, just enough to give my sister-in-law back to replenish her body. ”
"You taste it first, and if you feel good, tell me, and I'll let someone come back from my hometown."
Although the "display" is not good, Huang Bo's "host" is definitely high-end!
In terms of emotional intelligence, Chen Fei currently sees that only He Jiong can be compared with him.
Let's not talk about the rest, anyway, in terms of character, he is still quite good.
The three of them sat together and chatted for a while, seeing Huang Bo's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Fei suddenly smiled and said: "I also accepted the gift, I will definitely not break my promise, the script has been prepared for you." ”
After that, under Huang Bo's excited gaze, Chen Fei casually took out a script from his bag.
"Bullfighting?"
Looking at the two big characters on the white cover, Ning Hao next to him suddenly lit up: "Literary film? ”
"Yes, a small-cost literary film, take it to Huang Boxian to practice."
While speaking, Chen Fei looked at Huang Bo: "How about self-directing and self-acting?" Can you take it down? ”
"Bullfighting" is a comedy on the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, which tells the story of Niu Er, a villager in Mamuchi, Yimeng Mountain, who fights wits and courage with Japanese soldiers, bandits, and Jianghu Langzhong in order to keep his promise to take care of a cow sent to the anti-Japanese base area by the international community.
Although the investment in this kind of drama is not large, the requirements for the director and the leading actor are quite high.
After all, it is a literary film, and the main thing is "acting"!
After spending half an hour reading the whole story, Huang Bo took a deep breath: "Have confidence, but I have to take my time, this book is not easy to shoot."
And I'm afraid I can't take it alone, so I'll have to find someone to help me. ”
Chen Fei responded casually: "Okay, you can arrange it to read it yourself, anyway, I have already given you the script, and I will ask Su Guohai to pull a group of people for you." ”
"Okay!" Huang Bo nodded busily: "I think Wang Shiliang, the director of our company who made "Latent", is very good, let him finish this movie with me, how about it?" ”
Chen Fei was immediately happy.
How else to say that Huang Bo has high emotional intelligence, this is to take the initiative to find someone to supervise himself.
"Whatever you want."
Ning Hao looked at it beside him: "I actually like this kind of literary film." ”
"Hey, you have painted skin, you can't grab it from me!" Huang Bo hurriedly hugged the script in his arms, for fear that Ning Hao would snatch it away.
Shaking his head a little helplessly, Chen Fei got up and left the director's department.
Let them toss around.
…
As soon as he turned his head and walked into the screenwriting department, Chen Fei suddenly had a headache.
There are more and more A4 papers littered on the ground...
"Ni Xuelin, you should clean up!"
"Hey? Phineas! You're here! ”
When he was in school, Chen Fei often played with Ni Xuelin and a few others, and now even if it has become a relationship between the boss and the employee, in fact, he will not engage in class when he gets along with each other.
Therefore, these guys are very casual on weekdays.
"Clean it up immediately, don't worry, wait until tomorrow when you come back to see, this place is absolutely clean..."
"I believe you're a ghost!"
Chen Fei rolled his eyes, and the word "clean up" popped out of their mouths, as if the client was promising the stumbling girl that he would marry her home.
"Hehe, we have two more scripts, Brother Fei, can you come and take a look?" Ni Xuelin is a thick-skinned person.
"Yo? Pretty efficient, isn't it? ”
Chen Fei approached his computer with some curiosity.
"The Line of Life and Death"
The Wind
"According to the scripts of the anti-Japanese war dramas you gave us, my brothers brainstormed and wrote two scripts of spy war and anti-Japanese war genres, one is a TV series type and the other is a movie type ......"
Listening to Ni Xuelin's explanation, Chen Fei moved his mouse and began to carefully study the two scripts.
"The Line of Life and Death" tells the story of the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, when the iron hooves of Japanese imperialism traveled all over the country, and Ouyang Shanchuan, a Chinese language teacher who worked in Guning Girls' High School, rekindled his passion for the revolution and formed a secret organization with the four winds of the proletarians to fight against Japan together.
As for "The Wind", it is adapted from the Mai family's "The Wind" of the same name.
The script takes the puppet regime during the Anti-Japanese War as the historical background, and tells the story of Gu Xiaomeng, Li Ningyu, Wu Zhiguo, Jin Shenghuo, and Bai Xiaonian who were suspected of being undercover agents of the anti-Japanese organization and were forced to survive in the closed Qiuzhuang.
It took more than an hour to read these two scripts, and Chen Fei's eyes unconsciously flashed brightly.
He looked at Ni Xuelin and the others with some surprise, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, the quality of these two scripts is quite high." ”
"Hey, hey!" Ni Xuelin scratched his head and replied very modestly: "The scripts you gave us before have inspired us a lot, and we have recently fallen into this war of resistance and espionage." ”
"It's really good."
Chen Fei reached out and patted Ni Xuelin's shoulder, "The copyright is okay, right?" Continue to refine the details, "Life and Death Line" can continue to let Kang Honglei be in charge of directing. ”
"There is no problem with copyright, our screenwriting department has plenty of funds, and we have bought the copyright of many suitable published books, film and television adaptations in advance."
"Okay, I'll let Su Guohai continue to give you the right to enlarge it, this adaptation of "The Wind" is really good, and it can gradually develop into movie scripts in the future."
With Chen Fei's approval, Ni Xuelin and the others had smiles on their faces, which also made them more and more confident.
"Okay, Brother Fei, don't worry, my brothers will definitely not drop the chain."
"Haha, okay, I'll inform the finance later, all of your basic salaries will be added by 20%, and you will be given a bonus."
"Phineas are bright!"
A group of people's eyes lit up and they shouted.
…
July is fleeting.
August 1 is the birthday of all the soldiers who defend their homes and defend the country.
"Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster" and "My Captain, My Group" officially logged in to major theaters across the country and Mango TV today.
After attending the premiere of Ip Man 2, Chen Fei took the negative of "Mulan" and boarded the plane to South Korea.
Tomorrow happens to be the finale day of "The Crucible", and ShowBox sent him an invitation to attend the finale banquet.
Chen Fei did not refuse.
It just so happened that he was going to Hollywood to do the later stage of "Mulan", and it was not in the way to take a detour from South Korea.
However, just when he landed in Seoul, Zhao Zhenyang suddenly called him.
"Chen Fei, you kid can be, you have been selected into the list of sixth-generation directors."
The sixth generation?
The sixth generation of directors generally refers to a group of young directors who entered Nortel's directing department in the mid to late 80s of the 20th century and began to direct films after the 90s.
"Am I the only one?"
"And Ning Hao."
Hey?
It's kind of interesting!
Taking out the laptop he was carrying with him from his bag, Chen Fei just opened the portal and saw the news about the new list of "sixth generation directors".
Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Hu, Wang Quanan, Jia Zhangke, Lu Chuan......
As far as the eye can see, the director of a literary film in Yishui even has a mouse feces mixed in it.
"Is this thing authoritative? Isn't it Nortel's own evaluation? ”
Pouting, Chen Fei casually closed the computer and didn't continue to pay attention to this matter.
Save the time of looking at the list, and he can pay more attention to the news of Huayi's new first sister's ascension.
I heard that Li Bingbin and the two sisters went to the ...... together
I don't know if it's true or not?
However, her sister still has a lot of means, and she directly parachuted into the position of the co-general manager of Huayi Brokerage Company, and she still has two brushes.
It's just that I pity Zhou Xun, I'm afraid she won't have a good time in Huayi in the future.
Saying... How many years has she signed with Huayi?
Why don't you turn her into film and television?
After all, this "tool man" is still very easy to use, and his acting skills are also very good, and he is likely to be dusty in Huayi!
…
"Director Park, Ms. Zhu, long time no see."
Coming to ShowBox by car, Chen Fei met Park Bucheng and Zhu Zhihui for the first time.
These two are also old CPs, and they often stay together, almost inseparable.
Chen Fei even wondered if they often went to the same hotel at night?
"Director Chen! Welcome to ShowBox and congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. ”
A bunch of people bowed 90 degrees, as if they were meeting the boss of the underworld.
"Thank you."
Chen Fei nodded, looking at the back of the crowd.
Lin Yu'er was standing in the crowd, her big eyes flickering, and she looked at him curiously.
Her financier is here!
The wind banquet is unavoidable, but Chen Fei is a little unaccustomed to the food on their side, except for kimchi or kimchi, his whole body is kimchi.
The idiom "Pretty Foodable" can be used in Girls' Generation groups.
Mr. Chen was having dinner with a few of ShowBox's top executives, while nine girls under the age of 19 were bouncing on the stage of the box, singing some rather cheerful Korean songs.
"Your trainee group's business ability is pretty good, isn't it?"
Director Chen said with a smile, each of them has been a trainee for more than three years, and they will definitely be able to stand the test.
Chen Fei chatted with Zhu Zhihui without a match, and raised his hand from time to time to applaud.
The life of the chaebol in South Korea is quite interesting, and the eight words "nothing to do today, check the column and listen to the music" are vividly displayed.
In the evening, Zhu Zhihui took the initiative to arrange a hotel for Chen Fei, and said that there were two "surprises" waiting for him.
Chen Fei directly shook his head and refused: "No need, I'll go to live at her house." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yu'er: "Where is it convenient for you?" ”
"Huh?"
Stunned for a moment, Lin Yu'er blushed and nodded slightly: "Convenient, but the room is not very big, I'm a little worried that you are not used to it." ”
"I don't have that many rules."
The status of girl groups and boy groups in the South Korean entertainment industry is completely at the bottom, and because of this, most of them are not living very well.
Especially those trainees who have not yet debuted, they are even more struggling.
Coming to a somewhat old community, Lin Yuer led the way in front and said, "This is a house I rented, which is closer to the company."
In fact, the company will also provide accommodation, but the environment is not very good, so I often come back to live here. ”
Walking through the corridor with many miscellaneous items, Chen Fei followed her to the door of a rental house.
The outside looks not very good, but the inside decoration is quite good, the room is very clean, and there is a faint jasmine fragrance.
"Do you want to take a shower first?"
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
"No trouble, no trouble, I'll go and put water on you."
Lonely men and widows, the little girl is a little nervous.
Although I have been prepared for a long time, I will inevitably be a little uncomfortable when I really face this situation.
There was a sound of running water in the bathroom, and Chen Fei turned on the computer, ready to reply to the emails sent back from abroad.
But I didn't expect that a pop-up message suddenly popped up on the subscribed portal.
Chen Fei glanced at it, and his gaze suddenly became complicated.
Lu Zheng's path is really fucking wild!
went to Hollywood to audition for "Grave Girl" without success, and turned her head to buy Jing Tian the identity of the annual spokesperson of the Northwest Cherry Association of the United States!
In addition, he even took a photo with the governor of Washington state?
"Hey? This strength is really strong enough, hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for this? ”
Chen Fei was a little helpless, this girl really spent a lot of money to buy a bad deck of cards, and his agent team didn't know what to think, so she tried her best to do this kind of sassy operation.
"Oba, the water is ready."
There was a sudden call behind him, Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head, and saw that Lin Yu'er had changed into a white silk pajamas as thin as cicada wings at some point.
The delicate curves of the body loom in the air, and the full silhouette holds up the silk pajamas high, making people unconsciously want to play with them.
Closing the computer, Chen Fei got up and took the pajamas she handed over, and walked straight to the bathroom.
Sensible girls are usually very proactive.
"I'll help you make bubbles."
Chen Fei did not refuse, lying on his back in the bathtub, letting his tender and boneless little hands gently massage his body.
The girl is very sensible, and in order to repay the kindness, he decides to give it to her.
~
The next day, on the way to the finale banquet of "The Melting Pot", Chen Fei called Zhu Zhihui directly.
"Change Lin Yu'er to a bigger place, the sound insulation of the house is too poor, and the environment is not good, I don't like it."
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Hanging up the phone, Zhu Zhihui had a bright smile on his face.
That's what she wanted!
Mutual benefit is the basis of cooperation, and ShowBox is not afraid of Chen Fei's request, but afraid that she will not ask for it.
Chen Fei, who holds the Golden Bear and the Palme d'Or, is almost equivalent to the existence of the US military stationed in South Korea in the entire South Korean entertainment industry!
