At the media meeting, listening to Ning Hao and Tian's descriptions, the reporters were in a trance for a while.

Isn't "Painted Skin" just finished? Two new movies to open again?

"The Undertaker", "Hello! Mr. Tree! "What are these names?

All kinds of doubts and incomprehensions filled the venue, and reporters rushed forward with microphones in their hands, in a vain attempt to get more information.

Ning Hao was better at this kind of scene than Tian Zhuangzhuang, so most of the questions were answered by him.

"The script has been reviewed, and the casting will start next, and the male and female protagonists have already been decided, but I'll sell you a pass here first, and I'll announce it together after the actors are selected, and I'll definitely give you a surprise when the time comes!"

Surprise?

As soon as they heard these two words, the reporters present immediately began to think about it.

Most people's first impression is that they follow the original cast of "Painted Skin", but some people think of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, after all, if they play together again, it will be a big surprise!

However, Ning Hao kept silent directly, and it was difficult for reporters to pry his mouth open.

Not to mention the Tian Zhuang, the few words are pitiful, and the only thing revealed is just one sentence.

"This is a one-man show without a heroine, there are sorrows, joys, and a male protagonist that many people can't believe!"

Although the press conference was in a fog, it did not delay the news rushing to the headline page.

In the blog, netizens excitedly discussed:

"Director Chen is a cow, and he is as productive as a sow."

"The title of 'Script Golden Hand' is simply more interesting the more you look at it, and in the blink of an eye, two more movies have announced the start of preparation, which is too efficient!"

"Bullfighting", "Life and Death", "The Undertaker", "Hello! Mr. Tree! ", "The Wind", good guys, 08 has just passed a quarter, so there are five movies? ”

"I'm really looking forward to Director Chen's own movie, hehe, the lineup of that "Inception" is simply too strong!"

"Wait, brothers, another wave of excellent films is coming, and there will be a "October Siege" in May, so watch it first."

"First look at the respect +1..."

On the day he returned from Hengdian, Chen Fei received a message from the Cannes Film Festival.

Jia Zhangke was once again shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 61st Cannes Film Festival with his film "Tale of Twenty-four Cities".

Although Lao Jia can't play commercial films, he is indeed a good hand at making literary films, and the gold content of the awards in his hands is no less than that of Chen Kaige.

In addition, Wong Jiawei also grandly launched a remastered version of "East Evil and West Poison: Ultimate Edition", which was shortlisted for the special screening unit.

In the car that went to the premiere of "Python Horror", Chen Fei and Ning Hao chatted without a word.

"Hong Kong directors are very good at playing, right? Premiere, remaster, director's cut, this is to learn from Hollywood? ”

"I guess so, the new work has no results, so I can only eat the old book."

""Mong Kok Carmen" is very good, I am looking forward to his "The Grandmaster" now, and I don't know what to shoot."

"Hahaha, didn't he criticize your "Ip Man" script for being nondescript? You're not angry either? ”

"What's there to be angry about? The film works are mainly based on fans, and it depends on the fans who are not satisfied, and he doesn't count it. ”

While chatting, the car was already close to the Grand Theater.

Jing Tian specially told them many times, hoping that the two of them could come to participate in the premiere of the python, so they were just idle, so Chen Fei made an appointment with Ning Hao to come over and support her.

Let's not talk about anything else, this girl is really polite, and there is no actor who has worked with her who does not praise her.

After getting out of the car and walking towards the theater, Chen Fei asked, "How are the preparations for casting?" Have you decided on the right actors? ”

"Well, almost." Ning Hao nodded and said a few names briefly: "Teacher Li Xuejian will play the role of the undertaker in the play."

I also contacted Teacher Lu Zhong of Renyi, and she will play the female owner of the bathhouse, this teacher's face is very kind and kind, and she is most suitable for this kind of role. ”

The role of the female owner of the bathhouse needs an actress over 60 years old to play, and she needs to take on the whole bathhouse by herself, giving him encouragement and recognition when the male protagonist is new to the job of an undertaker and is confused.

And at the end of the story, she died unexpectedly, and finally the male protagonist sent her on her last journey as a relative.

This role is very crucial, and it can be said that it has played a very high role in the concept, affirming everything the actor has done before.

"Teacher Lu Zhong?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

is the one who won the actress with a high collar in his 80s, and the image of Wu Zetian in Detective Di Renjie still impresses Chen Fei very much!

"What about the role of secretary?"

"I went to the brokerage company for a turn and chose a young actor, whose name is Mao Xiaotong, I feel that it is quite suitable for the identity of a caring little sister, the key is still Chinese opera, a good seedling."

"Haha, try to choose Nortel for other unimportant supporting roles, or Lao Zhao will talk about it again."

Just like other directors, Ning Hao's filming is the same, he always likes to run to the Chinese drama when he has nothing to do, and the old professor of Nortel complains about him a lot.

There are a lot of media at the entrance of the theater, and Lu Zheng has put a lot of effort into this big heroine movie.

Jing Tian's attention is not low, she has participated in several movies of Chen Fei, and most of her images are very quiet and gentle, which really shows her advantages to the fullest.

Especially the costume image in "Mulan" has made many fans crazy about it!

is different from Liu Yifei's "fairy spirit", she belongs to that kind of "extravagance", and she knows at a glance that she is the daughter of a big family.

"Director Chen, Director Ning, welcome to the scene!"

Seeing Chen Fei and Ning Hao on the red carpet, Lu Zheng hurriedly led Jing Tian over.

The media and fans on both sides were in a bit of a commotion, they obviously didn't expect to see two of the top directors in the mainland here today!

"Mr. Lu is dressed up very handsome today?"

Chen Fei joked with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Jing Tian.

Da Tiantian's clothes and makeup have always been elegant and decent, as if it is like a breeze blowing in nature, quiet and fresh.

This person's aesthetics are much stronger than Liu Yifei's!

"Director Chen, Director Ning, thank you for supporting me today." The girl's little face was flushed, and that was due to joy and excitement.

"No thanks, we're here to review you today to see if your acting skills have improved?"

With that, several people entered the venue.

The reporter's interview must not be avoidable, Chen Fei thought about it, and still chose to praise Jing Tian a few words.

"Although she is young, she works hard enough, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and if she works hard in the future, she will definitely be able to make a difference!"

This speech cleverly avoided the word "acting", after all, when Da Tiantian made this movie, her acting skills were really miserable.

And that's exactly what happened...

After watching the whole film, Chen Fei wanted to get up and leave several times, but in the end he forcibly suppressed it.

Before leaving, he specially told again: "Next time, you must read the script well before deciding whether to act, do you know?" Also, try not to fall behind too many acting lessons. ”

Jing Tian's face was flushed, ashamed, and he didn't dare to look up at him.

"I... I'll pay attention next time. ”

～

Three films have been released so far in April.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Left and Right" has just exceeded 150,000 at the box office so far, and "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" has 47 million in the first week, and the first-day box office of "Python Horror" has also quickly reached Chen Fei's ears.

1.25 million on the first day...

Unsurprisingly, it was still cold.

When Lu Zheng called to inform him, he smiled bitterly, hoping that Chen Fei could give him some advice.

"Just spend money to buy a lesson, I hope you can pay attention to the improvement of your acting skills in the future, resources alone are not enough, sooner or later you will lose your popularity."

It doesn't matter if he can't listen to it or not, anyway, he has already fulfilled his obligations.

The mainland has been very lively these days, with movies coming one after another, and jokes coming one after another.

The producers of "Apple" sued the General Administration in the Intermediate People's Court, demanding that the ban be unreasonable, demanding that the ban be revoked and that justice be given to them.

According to the law, the General Administration must reply to the plaintiff within seven days whether it has accepted or not, but ironically, half a month has passed and there is still no reply.

Chen Fei inexplicably thought of a line in Xingye's movie.

"Who in the hall sued this official?"

It's fucking apt!

…

"Lust and Caution" was blocked, and "Slam Dunk" lost money again... Ren Zhonglun's life in the first half of the year was simply stumbling, and it is very appropriate to describe it with the word "want to cry without tears".

Maybe God favored him and let him meet Chen Fei, and finally there were signs of a return to light.

On the 13th, when Huayi Guang issued an invitation letter to prepare for the world premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" on the 16th of this month, Feiyue Film and Shanghai Film announced "The Undertaker" and "Hello! Mr. Tree! The cast.

"Chen Fei? Liu Yifei? Li Xuejian? Lu Zhong? it! This lineup is rushing for the prize, right? ”

"Who is that Mao Xiaotong? Why have you never heard of it before? ”

"I seem to have seen her in "Yang Guang's Happy Life 2", and now she should be a signed artist of Feiying Emperor's agency."

"Not? What's going on? Bao Qiang actually acted in a literary film? Are you kidding? ”

"'Silly roots' play 'trees'? It seems reasonable, but something seems wrong? ”

There is a lot of buzz on the Internet.

Han Sanping called Ren Zhonglun, and her tone was quite resentful: "Old Ren, you old boy is not authentic, if you had said earlier that "The Undertaker" was played by Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, I would have to mix it up." ”

"I don't know, they didn't say they were going to win the prize when they signed the contract!"

Ren Zhonglun focuses on an innocent person, and he doesn't know what to ask, and Han Sanping has no temper at all.

"Okay, okay, that's it, you've been in a lot of trouble lately, pay attention to yourself, be careful to catch someone again."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder."

At the same time, the undergraduate class of the 05-level performance department of Chinese opera also exploded!

A group of people led by Chen Xiao blew up Mao Xiaotong, who was training in the funeral home.

Ren Suxi was very excited to send a message in the group: "Xiaotong? Is that really you on that list? Are you going to make a movie with Director Chen? ”

"That's right, I'm training intensively, with Teacher Li Xuejian and Director Ning Hao."

Zhang Jianing sent a message with envy on his face: "Wow, this is amazing, it's amazing!" How did you get chosen? ”

"I don't really know, anyway, Director Ning glanced at me and said that I was quite suitable, so he let me come."

Mao Xiaotong was replying to the messages of other people in the group, when suddenly, the private chat interface flashed slightly, and a chat dialog box popped up.

Song Zuer: "Sister Xiaotong, you are so amazing, how did you get selected by Director Ning Hao?" I'm really envious, I really want to see Director Chen, can you help me get an autograph when I'm filming? ”

Looking at the message sent by this little fellow who met by chance at an event, Mao Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, didn't think much about it, and replied with a crackling type: "Yes, I will help you get an autograph if I have the chance." ”

"Can I go to the class after the movie starts?"

Mao Xiaotong was a little unaccustomed to the other party's directness, but he was still embarrassed to refuse, "I'll ask Director Ning after the movie starts." ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaotong."

Looking at the message sent by Mao Xiaotong in the chat box, the corners of Song Zuer's eyes raised slightly, and he snorted lightly: "What about my cousin?" I don't pull me if I add a brokerage company, hmph, even if I don't need you, I can find a way to climb up by myself! ”

……

The publicity of "The King of Kung Fu" is overwhelming, and even compresses the popularity of "October Siege", which will be released in May, to the extreme.

Huayi is determined to recover the decline and regain the majesty of the first private film and television company!

In front of it, movies such as "Left and Right", "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", "Lichun", and "Python Horror" were all in a mess.

It's been half a month, and there hasn't even been a movie that has broken 100 million.

Especially "Python Horror", after a one-week release period, the box office of less than 10 million directly hit Jing Tian hard!

She couldn't afford the box office at all, and fans were even more disappointed, and the audience popularity that she had finally accumulated in "Mulan" was even more defeated at this moment.

There are many fans shouting on the blog, asking Jing Tian to hurry up and hug Chen Fei's thigh, but don't continue to do it yourself, this is the rhythm of death!

Jing Tian was very aggrieved, she also wanted to hug her thighs, but she really didn't have a chance!

When the preparations for "The Undertaker" were announced, she called Ning Hao, but there was no role suitable for her at all.

《Hello！ Mr. Tree! "Not to mention today, she doesn't have her share at all.

However, Lu Zheng found her another crew, partnering with Liu Ye, to shoot a TV series called "A Woman's Epic".

Now she only hopes to use this to ease her decline in the film market.

～

On the 16th, Huayi held an open-air premiere press conference in Chaoyang Park.

Chen Fei and Su Guohai, Ning Hao, Tian Zhuangzhuang and a group of people from the crew of "The Undertaker" came to participate in the press conference.

Because of the tight time, "The Undertaker" is about to start, and the filming location is currently being selected, and it will probably be officially launched around the 20th.

There wasn't much time left for the actors to prepare, but no one complained, because it was also a test for them.

This kind of thing of changing roles on the spot, Ning Hao and Chen Fei can do it!

When everyone arrived at the waiting area, they saw luxury cars all over the place, stars were shining, and almost all the stars and film and television company bosses arrived at the scene.

To Chen Fei's surprise, Wu Kebo and Wang Jinghua of Orange Sky Entertainment were also invited!

"Hey, brothers, is this to reflect their atmosphere?"

Zhou Xun didn't go to participate in the social activities, but came to Chen Fei's side with a smile and greeted him warmly.

"Director Chen, Director Ning, Director Tian, hello."

Although Chen Fei is standing in a somewhat remote position, he has always been at the center of other actors' attention, and many second- and third-tier actresses have come here intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to find an opportunity to chat with them.

This is called: "Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives!" ”

"How's your "Confucius" movie going?"

When asking this sentence, Chen Fei did not look at Zhou Xun, but set his eyes on Ming Kefu, the director of "The King of Kung Fu".

More precisely, it was in Minkoff's Chinese wife.

Of course, the reason why he looked at the woman was not because of how beautiful the other party was, but because he was a little curious about the woman's identity as a "descendant of Confucius".

Is this identity real or fake?

Zhou Xun noticed his eyes and asked with a smile, "What?" Want to meet my guest consultant for that film? ”

"Farewell." Chen Fei pursed his lips, "I'm afraid of being scolded, my buddy is engaged in commercial films, the literary and artistic circle is not suitable for me, and they don't admit that there is such a person as me." ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Xun smiled heartlessly.

Tian Xiangxiang smiled bitterly on the side, the young man was fierce, and he dared to say anything.

Both sides of the red carpet were crowded with media and fans, and some reporters shouted to ask questions about "The Undertaker" and asked when it would start.

Chen Fei turned around and pointed behind the red carpet, and said with a smile: "I'm not the protagonist today, let's talk about other movies later, everyone pay attention to "The King of Kung Fu" first." ”

With that, he led a group of people away quickly.

followed by a group of main creators, Chen Long and Li Lian led a little girl, and next to Huayi's "first sister" Li Bingbin and Zhao Yanzi.

The two women have a feeling of competing for beauty, and one is bolder than the other.

Li Bingbin's entire back is exposed, thanks to her slow walking, if the range of movement is too large, I'm afraid the ditch at the bottom can leak out!

Zhao Yanzi next to him was even more exaggerated, and the fork of the cheongsam was even about to open to his waist.

"Which team is Li Bingbin's stylist? Avoid them in the future, what is this about? It's ugly. ”

Chen Fei frowned and told Su Guohai to go and talk to Huo Wenxi.

Liu Yifei and Mao Xiaotong next to him were covering their mouths and laughing, Li Bingbin's hair shape was indeed a little weird, as if he had a grinding wheel on his head.

There are also many media people from abroad, and Chen Fei even saw Twitter reporters and several familiar producers.

"Fei, I didn't expect to see you in your country."

Steve Chassman, the executive producer sent by Relativity Media, took the initiative to come over and greet Chen Fei.

"Mr. Steve, welcome to China."

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, in the face of this gringo's overture, Chen Fei also returned with a bright smile.

The gringos are not like these people in China, who pay attention to subtlety.

After a few words, the guy suddenly changed the subject, "Fei? I've heard that you recently invested in a new movie called Inception, right? Have you found the right investor?

We at Relativity Media also have a lot of liquidity, if you need it......"

"Thank you for your kindness." Chen Fei interrupted his thought of continuing in time: "Mr. Steve, if we have the opportunity, let's work together next time, Volton Pictures is also quite abundant." ”

Old stuff!

Want to take advantage of labor and management? Still want to eat ready-made?

Gave you a face, didn't you?
