Ning Hao's speed was faster, and he took the lead in reading the script of "The Undertaker".

"Okay, that's good, this script is going to win the award!"

Since joining Feiyue Film and Television, Ning Hao has also achieved a double harvest of box office awards.

The only two "500 million commercial film box office directors" in China, Golden Statue, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and other awards have been soft.

But after so many years of filming, he has always had a soft spot for foreign awards, and often dreams of going to Europe to win three golds, but he has never had the opportunity.

Well, now "The Undertaker" is here!

Just by reading the script once, he actually experienced from the text "portraying the struggle and growth of the protagonist on the edge of life and death".

He couldn't imagine how shocking this book would be if it was filmed!

"Who should the actor choose?"

Ning Hao was a little mixed for a while.

The story in this script is really great, but it is not easy to find the right hero and heroine from the circle.

The male protagonist needs to have a tenacious character, as well as the strength to never let go if he identifies it.

The heroine needs to be gentle but not cowardly, tough and not too sharp.

The role should be suitable, and the acting skills should be in place...

For a while, the name "Zhou Xun" popped up in his mind again, and among the current actress group, it is estimated that only this one has the best acting skills.

However, at this time, Chen Fei's words made him directly stunned, "You don't have to worry about the male and female protagonists, I have already found a suitable candidate for you, you can just set other actors." ”

The right one?

Ning Hao looked at him curiously, "Who?" Zhou Xun? ”

"It's not." Chen Fei shook his head, raised his hand to point at himself, and said with a smile: "I'll go with Liu Yifei, with the popularity of the two of us, at least we won't lose money, and the box office is guaranteed." ”

"???"

Ren Zhonglun, who was next to him, widened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly said: "This film is on the film!" ”

Chen Fei smiled and reassured: "Mr. Ren, don't get excited, I called you over today to let you participate in it, not only this "Undertaker", but also the "Hello, Mr. Tree" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, which will be publicized and distributed by Shangying. ”

Ning Hao hadn't come back to his senses yet, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart a little.

The male protagonist Chen Fei? Heroine Liu Yifei?

I'm a mother, such a terrific lineup is in front of you, who should I choose for the supporting roles?

And next to him, Tian Xiangzhi frowned slightly at this time.

《Hello！ Mr. Tree! This script tells the story of a rural youth named "Tree", who is mentally disturbed by the double persecution of family tragedy and practical predicament.

In terms of form and style, this should be regarded as a combination of realism and surrealism.

The contrast between the front and back of the story corresponds to the reality and absurdity of life itself, highlighting the allegorical color of the film, and also showing the author's concern and compassion for the marginalized people in urban and rural areas and even the marginal classes of the entire society.

This script really suits his style, literature + reality, and it looks very challenging.

Merely... Who should be asked to play this "tree"?

Tian Zhuangzhuang raised his head with curiosity on his face, but before he could ask, he heard Chen Fei's voice ring in his ears: "'Tree' let Wang Baoqiang play." ”

Baoqiang ???

Tian was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed.

In his impression, Wang Baoqiang should be a leader in the field of commercial films, and since his debut, he has played the kind of ridiculous comedy role.

But this "tree" is not the image of a comedian, from beginning to end, he seems to be a madman, downright "crazy"!

"Let him try it first, I'm still quite confident in him, maybe he will give you a big surprise."

Chen Fei chose to sell it first.

Although Wang Baoqiang was not born in a professional class and has not systematically studied acting, he is very aura and highly malleable.

With the assistance of Nortel's top director, he will definitely be able to improve his acting skills again!

Chen Fei's expectations for him are very high, and there are a series of shooting plans waiting for Wang Baoqiang in the future, and he must keep up with his acting skills.

Chen Fei didn't have time to train him, so he could only let Tian Xiangzhuang serve him.

～

The contract was signed on the spot, because the investment in these two films was controlled below 30 million yuan, so Chen Fei did not go to other partners, and only signed a cooperation with the Shanghai Film family.

He originally wanted to bring Zhongying in, but Ren Zhonglun called Han Sanping on the spot.

After explaining the situation, the person over there generously said that he would not care.

"Han Dong can't look down on these small-budget literary films anymore."

Ren Zhonglun sighed with emotion, they are also state-owned enterprises, and China Film is much more lined up than Shangying.

"Haha, that Ren always has to work hard, and strive to catch up with Zhongying."

"It's impossible, just the permission to import films, I'm too far behind him, and I have to pay attention to it in the past two years, if I continue to make mistakes, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this position."

"That's how big the impact of "Lust and Caution" is?"

"Yes, it's very serious, especially the audit side......" Ren Zhonglun seemed to want to say something, but in the end he forcibly suppressed the desire to talk in his heart, "Alas, forget it, it's all over, so be it." ”

…

Both scripts were sent for review, and Ren Zhonglun can be said to have been bitten by a snake for one time and afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he was stunned and did not announce his upcoming cooperation with Chen Fei.

He had to wait until the script was approved before he started to promote it.

A message came back from Hollywood out of the blue.

"Zhang Ziyi is engaged?"

Looking at the international chapter in the photo snuggled in the arms of a tall and muscular white man, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This really followed Deng Wendi's old path and began to use "marriage" to pave the way for himself.

It's a pity that she doesn't seem to have the same mind as Deng Wendi, and the last step from the wealthy family is not so easy to cross!

On the mainland, with the release of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", "The King of Kung Fu" has officially started a large-scale promotional campaign.

The Asian media conference in Hong Kong sparked a huge craze.

Facing the reporter's interview, Wang Zhonglei said very proudly:

What I say next may seem like bragging to some, but I tell you that it's not bragging, it's factual.

We have high expectations for the movie "The King of Kung Fu", which has already gone through the process of global distribution, and is just waiting for the day of its release.

This is Huayi's first film to be co-produced with a Hollywood studio, but it will not be the only one, and we will release more excellent Chinese and Western co-productions in the coming days.

The name of Huayi will resound internationally! "The King of Kung Fu" will definitely surpass "Mulan"! ”

The reporters were shocked, but the voices of skepticism were not particularly loud.

The $70 million production is at the same level as "Mulan", and it also has the participation of Chen Long and Li Lian, which is really bluffing.

Everyone's expectations for this movie are quite high.

Zhao Yanzi also attended the media conference very rarely, but she chose to refuse to respond to all questions about "New Mulan", which made the reporters very depressed.

And after the meeting, she left the scene in a hurry.

Some smart people have discovered the clues, comparing the movie when it started, Huayi was still working hard to market Zhao Yanzi, but now she is hardly mentioned.

Combined with the news that she was unilaterally terminated by China Film Emperor's brokerage company, some people have already guessed the inside story.

Zhao Yanzi is suspected of being banned by the mainland!

Some media tried to report the news, but then they were very surprised to find that someone directly called from above.

It is forbidden to promote all news about Zhao Yanzi!

In a trance, some media who guessed the inside story suddenly found that the name seemed to have been completely blocked on the Internet.

Her works still exist, but she seems to have disappeared from the public eye!

This wave of banning came quietly, without any warning in advance, as if it would retreat in the blink of an eye.

～

Chen Long led the two girls to appear in Feiyue Film and Television.

"Yao Xintong, Zhang Lanxin, how is it, isn't it beautiful?"

Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh a little, shouldn't the normal question be asking if his acting skills are good enough? How could a beautiful sentence suddenly pop up?

"If you like it."

It is said that a man is a teenager until he dies, and sure enough, just like Uncle Long, he definitely doesn't need an actress over 25 years old.

This one can be regarded as completely freeing himself!

"Shouting." Long Chen turned his head to look at the two little girls.

"Director Chen, good."

Both girls looked at him timidly, their eyes full of undisguised adoration and admiration.

is obviously not a few years apart, but they are already world-renowned top directors, but they are just unknown pure newcomers.

This gap is unimaginable!

"Hello."

Chen Fei nodded in response, his gaze subconsciously swept over the figures of the two girls.

Sure enough, one is longer than the other!

He looked at Long Chen with a smile, with some ridicule in his eyes, "The actress is quite good, when are you going to start filming?" Who is the director going to choose? ”

"After the release of "The King of Kung Fu", I am going to direct and act myself, how about you hang the name of an assistant director?"

"Okay, that's fine." Chen Fei agreed without hesitation, but then he added: "But I may not be able to accompany you to film this drama all the time, I still have a lot to do here." ”

Chen Long waved his hand, "It's okay, just borrow your name to pull the heat, my directing level is also very good." ”

"Haha, okay, then I'm looking forward to the finished film."

…

After sending Chen Long away, Chen Fei deliberately flew to Hengdian again, and went to the crew of "Bullfighting" directed by Huang Bo and "Life and Death" directed by Tang Honglei respectively.

The former has already photographed the timeline of the village being slaughtered and Niu Er fleeing to the mountain.

When he saw Huang Bo, Chen Fei didn't recognize him for a while!

The stinky ragged clothes, with the chicken nest head, and the black face, are more like a beggar than a beggar!

"Haha, Director Chen, you are welcome to visit the class."

Huang Bo deliberately touched the butt of the cow, and then stretched out his hand towards Chen Fei.

This guy still remembers that Chen Fei teased him for looking bigger than Yan Ni on the outside, this is deliberately to take revenge!

"Don't come here, I'm not going to shake your hand, you're sleeping in the bullpen at night, right?"

Chen Fei looked at him with disgust and hurriedly hid back.

Everyone around them laughed, but they had a strong respect for Huang Bo for no reason.

Being able to make this kind of joke with Chen Fei is a testament to his status and identity!

Except for very close friends who have a very good relationship in private, who would dare to make such a joke?

After staying in the crew of "Bullfighting" for half an hour, Chen Fei really couldn't bear the smell of cow dung on Huang Bo's body, and after saying hello, he turned around and withdrew.

"I won't invite you to dinner, when the finale is over, you call me, and I'll organize a finale banquet for you."

"Okay, thank you Director Chen."

Huang Bole waved goodbye to him, and let the cow next to him take care of his own manure, but he was not affected at all.

"Dedicated enough!"

Chen Fei gave him a thumbs up from afar.

～

Hengdian has a scene dedicated to filming spy war movies, and the location is quite unique, located in the middle of the back area, and the site can even be blasted.

Along the way, you can see a lot of small vendors selling along the street, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come to visit.

On the steps on both sides of the road, there are many group performers waiting for work, including men and women, their faces are slightly sallow, and they look listless.

And those who received the job were dressed in various types of costumes, looking energetic and magnificent!

Chen Fei was inexplicably a little emotional, thinking that when he was a group performer here in Hengdian, he seemed to be in such a state.

Being able to receive the play means that today's food has been settled, but if you can't receive the play, it will be a pity, one meal a day is the norm.

As he was walking, a conversation suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Zhang Han, hurry up, I'm about to get a tan."

"Little man, you wait for me, I'm still carrying so many things, how can I go fast?"

"I'm really going to be by you, a big man can't even lift such a thing......"

The voice was very harsh, Chen Fei turned his head a little curiously, and saw two familiar faces approaching from not far away.

Walking in front is Zheng Yan who is wearing a parasol, and behind is the famous "Murong Yunhai" Zhang Han.

Looking at the costumes of the two, it is obvious that they are filming the "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".

It's just that, unlike Murong Yunhai's indifference to Chu Yuxing in the play, Murong Yunhai outside the play is like a licking dog, carrying a large bag of snacks in each hand, sweat on his forehead, and looking like the whole person has been hollowed out.

The two of them walked very fast, and they overtook Chen Fei after a while.

Zheng Yan kept babbling in his mouth, complaining that Zhang Han, who was following behind, was walking too slowly, and she would be exposed to the sun.

And Zhang Han, who was following behind, smiled and tried hard to catch up.

Seeing this scene, combined with the scandal that came out between the two later, Chen Fei quickly came to a conclusion.

Zhang Han is chasing Zheng Yan!

"Heh, it's no wonder that the warm man still has to line up behind the dog, it's all self-inflicted."

He didn't have a good impression of these two people, but when he saw such a scene today, a trace of disgust rose in his heart for no reason.

This kind of person is also worthy of being an actor?

What a egg!

Pouting, he continued on his way.

When I came to the crew of "Life and Death", I looked at the actors and actresses, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even tell who was who!

"Mr. Chen, you're here."

Seeing Chen Fei coming, Tang Honglei quickly shouted "click" and hurriedly greeted him.

He has signed a long-term contract with Feiyue Film and Television, and like Ning Hao, he also stipulates at least one TV series a year.

After experiencing the filming of several military films, Tang Honglei is now also "standing" up and enjoys a very lofty position in the TV circle.

He didn't forget his roots, all this was given to him by Chen Fei, and he cherished everything he had now!

"How's the filming going? Do you have any difficulties that you can help me with? Will you be able to make it in time for August 1 this year? ”

There is another term for "visiting the class", which is called inspection work.

Tang Honglei is also an old fritter, so he naturally heard the meaning of Chen Fei's words.

Since the boss is here, then if there is a difficulty, mention it, and if there is no difficulty, you should report the progress, and take the military order with you.

"It is expected to be completed in May, and there is no problem with the premiere on August 1, there is currently a great shortage of explosives, but there are only two licensed explosives on the Hengdian side, and there are too many crews, so it is difficult to take turns."

"Okay, I know, tomorrow I'll ask the Beijing Film Studio to arrange an explosives team to come over and cooperate with you in filming."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen, I will definitely catch up with the schedule, and I will definitely not delay the later progress."

"Well, you have also worked hard, if the ratings of this TV series meet expectations, the year-end bonus will be tripled for you."

Hearing this, Tang Honglei's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was even more energetic!

is worthy of being the boss, that is, generous!

The crew temporarily stopped working, and the actors came over to say hello to Chen Fei.

Liao Fan, Zhang Yi, Yang Shuo, Lu Xia...

Putting aside their personal lives, these are very good middle-aged actors, and they can be regarded as the mainstay of the current film and television industry.

After meeting Zhang Yi, Chen Fei specially told him: "You leave me the schedule after May, and I will call you when the time comes, and follow me to Hollywood for a role."

By the way, how do you speak English? If not, sign up for a crash course now and make sure you have a smooth oral conversation. ”

"Okay, I don't have any problems communicating verbally."

Zhang Yi hurriedly responded, and at the same time gave Chen Fei a performance.

He has also worked hard in terms of line skills, even if he reads lines in English, he is also full of emotion!

"Alright, that's it, remember to keep the schedule."

Listening to the communication between the two, several people around were full of envy at this time.

Going to Hollywood for a role?

Obviously, this must be the "Inception" that claims to invest 220 million US dollars.

There are many people in the circle who are now saying that the resources of the "Flying Shadow Emperor Agency" are very good, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!

Can you run to Hollywood with a role?

The tone was like going to his back garden, and it was hard not to be envious and amazed!

This is the style of a great director!

…

At the same time, just as Chen Fei was visiting the class in Hengdian, Shangying contacted dozens of media and held a press conference.

At the press conference, Ning Hao and Tian Zhuangzhuang were present at the same time and announced that they would cooperate with Shangying to shoot two film and television works written by Chen Fei.

"The Undertaker", "Hello! Mr. Tree" was officially unveiled to the public today!
