Chapter 1064 The In-Laws Are Coming to Reject "Li Cha's Aunt"!
Chapter 1064 The in-laws are coming... Reject "Li Cha's Aunt"!
"Brother, look at this outfit. I designed it myself. The ink-and-wash style cheongsam looks great under the camera, and the effect of the image is very good."
"This set of light cyan cheongsam is inspired by the bamboo forest. The material is also fiber extracted from bamboo. The cost is higher, hehe."
"The most expensive one is this one! The embroidery on it is hand-embroidered stitch by stitch by the embroiderer. The price of the exclusive custom-made clothes is almost one million. After the shooting is over, I plan to ask for all these clothes. The company buys it and can wear it in later promotions..."
On the morning of the 21st, as soon as he arrived at the set of "Siteng", Chen Fei was dragged by Jing Tian to look at her costume.
Because the character "Si Teng" is designed with the "plant system" in mind from beginning to end, there will be "plant" elements in each set of looks in terms of the texture of clothing fabrics.
At the same time, in order to show the correct "environmental protection" orientation during creation, there are no types of clothing such as furs and furs in this drama.
Therefore, in the play, most of Si Teng's looks are based on cheongsam... When designing the costumes, the stylist team made many improvements on the cheongsam. For example, the cheongsam in the scenes of the Republic of China followed the traditional style, while in the modern scenes it was Adding a bit of modern aesthetic to the cheongsam...
As a result, what was presented to Chen Fei was more than 80 different costumes!
From cheongsams to cloaks, to Hanfu, windbreakers, etc., we have them all!
After looking around, Chen Fei was a little dazzled.
But there was only one thing that impressed him very much, and that was - these clothes seemed to belong to Jing Tian!
There is no shortage of actresses with good figures, good temperaments and good looks in the entertainment industry, but if she can hold up a cheongsam and wear it with her own unique temperament, Jing Tian will definitely be ranked in the top three!
This is no exaggeration at all. After all, so far, no actress has dared to market herself as the "cheongsam goddess".
As soon as "Si Teng" came out, Jing Tian undoubtedly occupied this character first.
"No need to buy it." Suddenly, Chen Fei interrupted: "Originally, these cheongsams were tailor-made for you, and no one else can wear them. Then I told the company that these clothes will be sent directly after the photo shoot." There you go."
"Ah?" Jing Tian was slightly startled and said subconsciously: "It's so expensive! It's nearly 10 million."
"It's okay, isn't it your birthday soon? Just think of it as my birthday gift to you."
"Yeah? Do you still remember my birthday?"
"Yifei told me before that she was still thinking about what birthday gift to give you. It just so happens that she will give you all these clothes."
"Oh, that's it." Jing Tian felt a little disappointed. She thought it was Chen Fei who went to inquire about it, but it turned out that she heard it from someone else.
But soon, the feeling of disappointment in her heart disappeared.
No matter what, she didn't have to spend money to buy these clothes from the company, which saved another 10 million, and it was Chen Fei who gave them to her... she was happy just thinking about it (><).
On her side, she was jumping with excitement, but on the other side, Chen Fei was already chatting with Li Muge.
"I heard that Director Li majored in computer information management at Peking University, right? Why did he become a director after graduation?"
"Oh, that's quite helpless." Li Muge sighed and fell into memories: "I was obsessed with watching video tapes and movies when I was in elementary school, and I was full of infinite yearning for the world in the images.
But at that time, my parents did not agree with me going to the Art College. After all, my college entrance examination scores were enough to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University, so I had no choice but to major in computer information management.
Then when I went to college, I studied computers and directing-related majors at the same time. Finally, with the help of teacher Gao Xixi, I successfully realized my dream. "
When Chen Fei heard this, he smiled and praised: "Your life experience is really good. When you retire in the future, you can publish an autobiography."
"Oh, I don't dare." Li Muge waved his hands repeatedly: "If it's an autobiography, it has to be a top director like you. How can I be qualified?"
Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Don't belittle yourself. When this drama is finished, if nothing happens, you will definitely make a splash in the film and television industry."
Hearing these meaningful words, Li Muge's eyes suddenly lit up!
Chen Fei's intention is very obvious. The company is going to vigorously promote this "Siteng".
As a director, he will definitely benefit from this, this is inevitable.
Thinking of this, he quickly and earnestly promised: "Don't worry, Director Chen, I will make this drama a success, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of you and the company."
"Okay, come on."
Encouraging him again, Chen Fei inexplicably thought of the movie "My World's Fireworks" directed by him a few years later.
This drama is both meticulous and full of flaws. It left a deep impression on me!

After spending the whole morning on the crew of "Siteng", giving some pointers to Li Muge and imparting some acting experience to Jing Tian, Chen Fei left in the afternoon.
Liu Yifei was almost ready, and naturally it was time for him to return to the capital.
"Brother." Before getting into the car, Jing Tian suddenly shouted towards his back.
Chen Fei subconsciously turned around and saw her blessing with a sweet smile: "I wish you and Sister Yifei a happy engagement. I will be there when you get married."
"Well, you're welcome to come."
Chen Fei didn't dare to look at her, so he got into the car, closed the door, and quickly motioned to the driver to leave quickly.
Outside the car window, Jing Tian sniffed and murmured as he followed Li Muge and others to the set: "The scenery in Shangri-La is quite nice, but the wind and sand are a bit strong, and things always fly in the eyes..."
Li Muge seemed to realize something, turned his head to look at her, then quickly turned back, pretending not to care and echoed: "It's okay, just let the makeup artist touch up your eye makeup later."
"oh."
Jing Tian nodded slightly, with many thoughts in his mind...
…
After landing in the first place, after confirming the pick-up time with Liu Yifei, Chen Fei first went back to the courtyard and chatted with the old man about meeting his in-laws.
"Okay! How many people are coming from your parents-in-law's house tomorrow? Just let them live here. This place is very spacious and can accommodate as many people as we want."
The old man acted very boldly, but if you look closely, you can find that there is obvious tension in his extremely fast speaking speed.
Chen Fei chuckled and said: "No, I have a place to live in the capital. When the time comes, I will invite everyone to my house and have a meal or something together."
"Okay! Can I cook it myself?"
"No, I'll ask the chef to come and make it."
"Then what should I do?" The old man was obviously a little panicked. It always felt weird if he didn't do something.
"Just chat with them and tell them about the engagement day and some of our customs. Then prepare some return gifts and discuss with them, and bring out all the good things at home. , don’t be stingy..."
"Hey! You kid!" The old man slapped him directly on the back of his head: "When have I ever been stingy? How can I be stingy when I marry a wife?"
Chen Fei covered the back of his head and was speechless: "Hey? You old man, isn't this just a description? When did I call you stingy?"
"Okay, okay, I got it, don't worry, I won't let you down."
The old man responded repeatedly. After all, he had been the "wedding steward" in the village many times before, so he was quite familiar with wedding customs.
"Okay, let's do that. I'll prepare some things first, and then go to the company."
"Yeah, go ahead, go ahead."
The old man waved his hand, picked up the scissors, and started trimming the flower beds in the yard again.
He had found someone to tidy up and clean all the rooms. Everything was in order, and he was just waiting for his in-laws to come to his door.
…
The next day, Chen Fei drove to the company.
Happy Twist is very productive. "The Shy Iron Fist" was finalized not long ago, and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is in preparation... They actually made another script and sent it over!
After reading it, Su Guohai was a little unsure, so he informed Chen Fei of the news.
This new project sent by Happy Twist is different from the previous "Charlotte Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist". Su Guohai always feels that it is strange, and the plot does not seem to be as good as he imagined...
Therefore, after asking for help, Chen Fei came to the company to see what the new project was like.
However, what surprised Chen Fei was that as soon as he stopped the car and walked towards the company, he bumped into Ning Hao who was walking out happily.
"Huh? Isn't this Director Ning? Why are you here when you're not taking care of your children at home?"
"Type an application."
Ning Hao raised the document bag in his hand and seemed to be in a good mood.
"'Crazy Alien'?"
"That's right, hasn't the script been finalized? I'm going to take it to the film bureau for review first, and then start preparations immediately."
"Why don't you rest more?" Chen Fei deliberately teased him.
"No, it's better to work..."
Ning Hao subconsciously rubbed the dark circles under his eyes. Thinking back to the "dark moments" of the past few months and his shrinking waist, he really missed the busy days.
"Hahahahaha!"
Chen Fei mocked him unceremoniously, and then received a few eye rolls from Director Ning and a "vicious" complaint:
"Just wait, there will definitely be good fruits when you get married!"
"I'm not as vain as you."
"snort!"
Ning Hao left angrily. After all, how could a 40-year-old man compare with a 30-year-old man?
…
After watching Director Ning leave, Chen Fei got into the elevator and went straight to Su Guohai's office.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)
Fortunately, he met the supervisor in charge of the "Cohabitation in Time and Space" project and the director Su Lun in the elevator.
"Mr. Chen, good afternoon."
"Director Chen, it's our first time meeting you. You are so handsome! Much more handsome than what I saw in the movie."
Su Lun looked like a little fan girl who had seen her idol. It's no wonder that when choosing the male lead, she would like Ma Tianyu's face...
Chen Fei reached out and shook her hand: "You are much younger than I thought. There are not many female directors in the industry. I hope you can become one of their representatives in the future."
"Thank you very much for your encouragement."
Su Lun smiled happily as if he had met his idol.
"Has the actor been confirmed?" Chen Fei asked.
"The female lead has been confirmed and Shu Chang has been chosen. The male lead will almost be decided today. We are preparing to conduct the final round of auditions."
"Okay, come on."
"Yeah, I will definitely do it!"
Halfway through the elevator, Su Lun and others left first, while Chen Fei still headed towards the upper floors.
In the corridor, Su Lun murmured excitedly: "Brother Li! I think Director Chen is quite suitable to play the role of 'Lu Ming' in our movie, what do you think?"
"It's indeed quite suitable..." Producer Li Jie nodded, but then he forcibly wiped out her thoughts: "Just keep this idea in your own mind and don't tell others, otherwise Being laughed at.”
"Why?"
"Do you think Director Chen will agree to play the role of Lu Ming?"
"Forehead……"
Su Lun was immediately speechless.
Indeed, just imagine it for yourself. How could such a famous actor come to play the male lead in "Cohabitation in Time and Space"?
Isn't this just talking nonsense?
…
"Li Cha's aunt?"
In Su Guohai's office, Chen Fei frowned as he looked at the script in his hand.
"Yes, this story is also adapted from the stage play of the same name by Happy Mahua. It mainly tells a series of stories about the collision between a group of people who covet the aunt's property and the 'fake rich aunt'."
Nodding slightly, Fade Chen opened the script and read it carefully.
Li Cha is a poor boy, while his aunt Monica is a rich woman in the world, but they have never met since Li Cha can remember.
Li Cha is planning to hold an engagement party with Lulu, the second daughter of Wang Andy, chairman of Dazha Group, so he invites his aunt to attend.
The reason why Wang Andy agreed to marry his daughter to Li Cha was because his Da Zha Group was facing a serious financial crisis. He wanted to take this opportunity to please Li Cha's aunt and obtain financial help...
More than half an hour later, Chen Fei finished reading the script and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Overall, the selling point of this story is actually the contrast caused by "misplaced life".
But what made him dissatisfied was that the plot's plot settings and comedy baggage looked very old and awkward, very cliched and lacking in new ideas.
In addition, all kinds of baggage are also very speechless, such as those male and female jokes, ethical jokes, etc., which are simply piled on top, as if they are just for the sake of laughter.
Moreover, the concept and theme of the story also appear to be very vulgar and utilitarian. It seems to be an attempt to explore the relationship between money and human nature through a series of absurd plots, but in the end what is presented is a blind pursuit of money and A distortion of human nature...
Chen Fei can conclude that these plots are not only difficult to arouse the audience's deep thinking and resonance, but are likely to make people feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
Thinking of this, he closed the script and shook his head slightly at Su Guohai: "The quality of this script is too poor."
Su Guohai nodded and agreed: "I also feel a little strange. I feel that this script has not reached the high level of "Charlotte" and "The Shameful Iron Fist" at all."
"Story adaptation, laughter setting, character creation, and creative themes are all unacceptable. Tell Zhang Chen that Feiyue Film and Television cannot participate in this project and let him think about it carefully."
"Yeah, okay, I'll contact him right away."
Throwing the script of "Li Cha's Aunt" on the table, Chen Fei walked out and came to his office.
He has already written "Go Where the Wind Is", and it's time to print it all out, bind it, and give it out as a gift.
Of course, he doesn't need to do such small things personally, his assistant can handle it.
And his current task is to draw the storyboards for "Manchester by the Sea"!
…
At this time, happy twist.
Zhang Chen was quite happy at first when he received a call from Su Guohai.
But soon, when Su Guohai made it clear that Chen Fei was not interested in the "Li Cha's Aunt" project and that Feiyue Film and Television would not participate in the project, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.
"Mr. Su, are you saying that Director Chen is not optimistic about this script?"
"That's right." Su Guohai explained: "Compared to "Charlotte Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist", the story presented in this script is not very good..."
These words were quite tactful. After all, they were partners, and Su Guohai didn't want to dampen Happy Mahua's enthusiasm.
"Okay, let's hold a meeting within the company to discuss whether we should continue this project."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen directly called Wu Yuhan, Qian Chenguang, Wu Jinrong, Huang Cailun, Allen and others to the conference room, and relayed to them Su Guohai's original words that he was not optimistic about the project.
Hearing this, several people suddenly panicked and started talking at once:
"Mr. Zhang? I admit that comparing "Charlotte's Trouble" and "Shameful Iron Fist", this "Li Cha's Aunt" is indeed not as good as the first two in terms of quality, popularity, laughs, etc., but it shouldn't be. Very bad, right?”
"That's right, the upper level doesn't count, the middle level should qualify, right?"
"Feiyue Film and Television only produces 'high-quality' products. It's normal to look down on "Li Cha's Aunt". How about we find another investor? The script has been written and the project is almost confirmed. It's impossible to directly Cut it off?"
"I agree with Huang Cailun's point of view. If Happy Twist cannot afford the investment itself, then it can find other investors. It's not like it can only fight Feiyue Film and Television."
"Yes, although Feiyue Film and Television is a shareholder of Happy Twist, didn't they agree not to interfere with the operation of our company?"
After everyone's persuasion, Zhang Chen finally made a decision.
"I promised you before that I would give you a chance if you are from Happy Twist. Since you are confident that you can do the project of "Li Cha's Aunt", I will definitely support you.
How about this, first send the script for review, and I will contact other investors..."
At this moment, Cao Huayi of New Classics Media suddenly appeared in Zhang Chen's mind.
The other party had expressed to him the idea of cooperation many times. Now it seems that he can talk about the project of "Li Cha's Aunt"...
