Chapter 279 Huang Bo’s “Important Task”, The Sixth Generation Director? Nothing to Do Today, Listen to Music in the Brothel!

At the end of July, the news that "Mulan" was officially completed 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 industry have been paying close attention to its shooting status throughout the whole process.

All the actors are Chinese, but the investment is close to Hollywood A-level production!

There is no doubt that this will be another "excellent work" that will charge towards the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

After Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Zhang Yimou's "Hero", five years have passed, but no domestic director has been able to touch the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The three subsequent films "The Promise", "The Banquet" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" were all blocked from the Oscars.

Even Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, three famous domestic directors, were mocked by netizens for a long time because of this.

A murder caused by a steamed bun, a magical version of Shakespeare, a murder caused by a pile of steamed buns...

Three consecutive flops almost broke the three people's Taoism.

And now, after the three great directors failed in succession, Chen Fei came out with his "Mulan" with an investment of 70 million US dollars!

Can this movie prove his dominance in the field of commercial films again?

Many people are waiting to see!

…

After the wrap-up banquet, Chen Fei went back to the company first.

The casting of "Painted Skin" has entered the final stage. The filming location is currently being planned and the behind-the-scenes team is arranged to conduct location scouting.

This year, the bureau issued a document requiring strict restrictions on the filming of film and television dramas in the core areas of various natural scenic spots and protected areas.

Jiuzhaigou is a key protected area.

Director Chen is also very good. He almost single-handedly promoted the implementation of the policy.

"Who are the actors selected for "Painted Skin"?"

Ning Hao casually handed over a list and said, "Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Jiao Enjun, Chen Hao, Zhu Zhu, Wu Jing..."

"Huang Xiaoming plays Wang Sheng?"

"Yeah, yes, he came here to audition several times, and I feel he is quite suitable."

"It is quite suitable, but his acting skills are 50-50 with everyone. He is the kind of person who is strong when facing strong opponents and weak when facing weak opponents. You have to pay more attention to him when filming starts."

"Haha, I know this."

Ning Hao was also amused. Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are up and down, which is recognized by people in the circle.

When encountering such an actor, it will be a great test of the director's skills. Whether he can train him well depends on whether Ning Hao is willing to work hard.

As long as he can be trained, Huang Xiaoming will definitely bring a huge surprise to fans.

As for the original male lead Chen Kun, he is still deeply involved in the news wave of "son is five years old, the woman keeps it secret" recently.

The confidentiality agreement was really well done. The baby was not exposed until he was five years old. Moreover, he was in the rising period of his career when he gave birth to the baby. I don’t know how he made up his mind to give birth to the baby.

…

After discussing the plot and shooting details with Ning Hao for more than half an hour, Chen Fei finally waited for Huang Bo who came late.

After the wrap-up party of "Mulan", Huang Bo said he was going back to his hometown, and ran away.

Chen Fei promised him that he would give him a script after the film was finished, and at the same time, he would fund him to create.

A good actor can become a director, and this statement really came true for Huang Bo.

He is now full of confidence in his ability to be a director, but he regrets that he does not have a suitable script in his hand.

"Director Chen, Director Ning..."

While asking hello, Huang Bo handed over the two large bags in his hand.

"What is it?"

Chen Fei took it and curiously opened the bag to look inside.

I saw that there were several hairy crabs tied up inside!

"Wow? Qingdao seafood?"

"Yes." Huang Bo nodded and said with a smile: "I brought it from my hometown. It's very fresh. You can take it back and eat it. It tastes great."

Ning Hao's eyes lit up: "Wow! You brought this thing at the right time. It can just be used to replenish your sister-in-law's body."

"Try it first. If you feel it's good, tell me and I'll ask someone to get more from my hometown."

Although the "monitor" is not very good, Huang Bo's "host" is definitely high-end!

In terms of emotional intelligence, Chen Fei currently sees only He Jiong who can compare with him.

Let's not talk about other things. Anyway, in terms of character, he is still pretty good.

The three of them sat together and chatted for a while. Seeing Huang Bo's hesitant look, Chen Fei immediately smiled and said: "I also accepted the gift. I will definitely not break my promise. The script is ready for you."

After that, under Huang Bo's excited gaze, Chen Fei took out a script from his bag.

"Bullfighting?"

Looking at the two big words on the white cover, Ning Hao's eyes lit up: "Art film?"

"Yes, a low-cost art film, let Huang Bo practice first."

While speaking, Chen Fei looked at Huang Bo: "How about directing and acting by yourself? Can you do it?"

"Bullfighting" is a comedy film about the War of Resistance Against Japan. It tells the story of Niu Er, a villager in Mamuchi, Yimeng Mountain, who fought wits and courage with Japanese soldiers, bandits, and quack doctors in order to keep his promise to take care of a cow sent by the International Anti-Japanese Base Area.

Although this kind of play does not require a large investment, it has high requirements for the director and the leading actor.

After all, it is an art film, and the main feature is "acting skills"!

After spending half an hour reading the entire story, Huang Bo took a deep breath: "I have confidence, but I have to take my time. This script is not easy to shoot.

And I'm afraid I can't do it alone, I have to find someone to help me."

Chen Fei responded casually: "Okay, you can arrange it yourself. Anyway, I have given you the script. I will ask Su Guohai to find a group of people for you in the logistics team."

"Okay!" Huang Bo nodded hurriedly and responded: "I think the director Wang Shiliang who filmed "The Hidden" in our company is quite good. Let him and I work together to complete this movie, how about it?"

Chen Fei was immediately happy.

Otherwise, why do people say that Huang Bo has high emotional intelligence? This is to take the initiative to find someone to supervise himself.

"It's up to you."

Ning Hao looked at him eagerly: "I actually like this kind of art film."

"Hey, you have painted skin, you can't snatch it from me!" Huang Bo hurriedly hugged the script in his arms, fearing that Ning Hao would snatch it away.

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Fei got up and left the director department.

Let them do whatever they want.

…

When he turned around and walked into the screenwriting department, Chen Fei suddenly had a headache.

There were more and more A4 papers thrown on the ground...

"Ni Xuelin, you should clean it up!"

"Hey? Brother Fei! You are here!"

When they were in school, Chen Fei often played with Ni Xuelin and others. Even though they have become the boss and the employee now, they don't make class distinctions when they get along with each other.

Therefore, these guys are very casual on weekdays.

"Clean it up right away, don't worry, come and see it tomorrow, it will be absolutely clean..."

"I don't believe you!"

Chen Fei rolled his eyes. The word "clean up" came out of their mouths, just like a prostitute promising to marry a fallen woman.

"Hey, we have two more scripts, Brother Fei, come and see?" Ni Xuelin is known for being thick-skinned.

"Oh? It's very efficient?"

Chen Fei approached his computer with some curiosity.

"Life and Death Line"

"The Sound of Wind"

"Based on the scripts of the anti-Japanese war dramas you gave us, we brainstormed and wrote two more spy and anti-Japanese war scripts, one for TV series and one for movies..."

Listening to Ni Xuelin's explanation, Chen Fei moved the mouse and began to study the two scripts carefully.

"Life and Death Line" tells the story of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, when the iron hoofs of RB imperialism trampled all over the country, and Ouyang Shanchuan, a Chinese teacher working at Gu Ning Girls' Middle School, rekindled his passion for revolution and formed a secret organization with the proletarian Si Daofeng to fight against Japan together.

As for "The Sound of Wind", it is adapted from Mai Jia's novel of the same name "The Sound of Wind".

The script is based on the historical background of the puppet regime during the Anti-Japanese War. It 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. After a series of psychological warfare, the anti-Japanese organization member "Old Ghost" finally died heroically for the cause of national liberation.

After spending more than an hour reading the two scripts, Chen Fei's eyes flickered unconsciously.

He looked at Ni Xuelin and the others with some surprise, and couldn't help but praise them: "Not bad, the quality of these two scripts is quite high."

"Hehe!" Ni Xuelin scratched his head and replied very modestly: "The scripts you gave us before have greatly inspired us brothers. Recently, we have been fighting against the war of resistance and spy war."

"Really good."

Chen Fei reached out and patted Ni Xuelin on the shoulder, "Is the copyright okay? Continue to improve the details, and Kang Honglei can continue to be responsible for directing "Life and Death Line."

"There is no problem with copyright. Our screenwriter department has sufficient funds. We have already bought many suitable publishing books and film and television adaptation rights in advance."

"Okay, I'll let Su Guohai continue to expand your authority. This adaptation of "The Sound of Wind" is really good. In the future, we can gradually develop into movie scripts."

Getting Chen Fei's approval, Ni Xuelin and the others were full of smiles on their faces, and at the same time, they became more confident.

"Okay, Brother Fei, don't worry. We brothers will never let you down."

"Haha, okay, I'll notify the finance department later. Your basic salary will all be increased by 20%, just as a bonus."

"Brother Fei is so open-minded!"

A group of people's eyes suddenly lit up and they shouted.

...

July passed in a flash.

August 1st is the birthday of all soldiers who defend the country.

"Ip Man 2: The Legend of the Grandmaster" and "My Captain, My Regiment" officially landed in major theaters and Mango TV across the country today.

After attending the premiere of Ip Man 2, Chen Fei took the negative of "Mulan" and boarded the plane to South Korea.

Tomorrow is the wrap-up day of "The Crucible", and ShowBox sent him an invitation letter, wanting him to attend the wrap-up banquet.

Chen Fei did not refuse.

It happened that he was going to Hollywood to do the post-production of "Mulan", and it would not be a problem to take a detour from South Korea.

However, just when he landed in Seoul, Zhao Zhenyang suddenly called him.

"Chen Fei, you are really good. You have been selected into the list of the sixth generation of directors."

Sixth generation?

The sixth generation of directors generally refers to a group of young directors who entered the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in the mid-to-late 1980s and began directing films after the 1990s.

"Is it just me?"

"And Ning Hao."

Hey?

interesting!

Taking out the laptop he carried with him from his bag, Chen Fei just opened the portal and saw the news about the newly released list of "Sixth Generation Directors".

Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai, Guan Hu, Wang Quan'an, Jia Zhangke, Lu Chuan...

Looking at it, one can see that there is even a piece of mouse droppings mixed in with Yishui's artistic film director.

"Is this thing authoritative? Isn't it the evaluation of Nortel itself?"

Curling his lips, Chen Fei closed the computer and stopped paying attention to this matter.

By saving time on looking at the list, he can also pay more attention to the news about Huayi's new sister taking over.

I heard that Li Bingbin and her sisters went together...

I don’t know if it’s true or not?

However, her younger sister is still very capable. She was directly parachuted into the position of co-general manager of Huayi Brokerage Company. She still has a lot of skills.

I just feel sorry for Zhou Xun, I'm afraid her life in Huayi will not be easy in the future.

By the way...how many years has she signed with Huayi?

Why don't we abduct her and send her to film and television?

After all, this "tool man" is quite easy to use, and his acting skills are also excellent. If he is placed in Huayi, he will probably get dusty!

…

"Director Park, Ms. Zhu, long time no see."

Arriving at ShowBox by car, Chen Fei immediately met Park Bucheng and Zhu Zhihui.

These two are also old CPs. They often stay together and are 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 ninety degrees, as if they were meeting a gangster boss.

"Thanks."

Chen Fei nodded and looked towards the back of the crowd.

Lin Yuner was standing pretty in the crowd, her big eyes flickering, looking at him curiously.

Her sponsor is here!

The Fengfeng Banquet is unavoidable, but Chen Fei is not used to the food here. Besides kimchi, he also smells of kimchi.

The idiom "beautiful and delicious" can be used in Girls' Generation groups.

Chen Fei was having dinner with several senior executives of ShowBox, while nine girls under the age of 19 were jumping around on the stage in the box, singing some cheerful Korean songs.

"Is your trainee group's business capabilities quite good?"

"Director Chen was joking. Each of them has been a trainee for more than three years, so they will definitely be able to withstand the test."

Chen Fei chatted with Zhu Zhihui all the time, raising his hands to applaud from time to time.

The chaebol life in South Korea is quite interesting, and the eight words "I have nothing to do today, just 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 shook his head and refused: "No, I'll go live at her house."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yuner: "Where is it convenient for you?"

"ah?"

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Yuner blushed and nodded gently: "It's convenient, but the room is not very big. I'm a little worried that you won't be 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 do not live a very good life.

Especially those trainees who have not yet debuted are in a very tight situation.

Arriving at an old residential complex, Lin Yuner led the way and said, "This is a house I rented, which is closer to the company.

In fact, the company also provides accommodation, but the environment there is not very good, so I often come back to live here. "

Passing through the corridor filled with many sundries, Chen Fei followed her to the door of a rental house.

The environment doesn't look very good from the outside, but the interior decoration is quite good, the room is very clean, and there is a faint scent of jasmine.

"Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Well, please."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll get you some water."

Alone and alone, the little girl was a little nervous.

Although I have already prepared for it, when I actually face this situation, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

There was the sound of running water in the bathroom, and Chen Fei turned on the computer, preparing to reply to the emails sent back from abroad.

But I never thought that a pop-up message would suddenly pop up on the subscription portal.

Chen Fei clicked and glanced, his eyes suddenly became complicated.

Lu Zheng’s approach is so damn wild!

She went to Hollywood to audition for the role of "Grave Keeper" but failed, but she turned around and bought Jing Tian the identity of the annual spokesperson of the Northwest Cherry Association of America!

In addition, he actually took a photo with the governor of Washington State?

"Hey? This is really strong. You can get this for hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Chen Fei was a little helpless. This girl really spent a lot of money to buy a pair of bad cards. His management team didn't know what they were thinking, and they did this kind of shameless operation.

"Oppa, the water is ready."

There was a sudden call from behind, and Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and saw that Lin Yuer had changed into a pair of white silk pajamas as thin as cicada wings at some point.

The delicate body curves are looming, and the full outline holds up the silk pajamas, making people want to play with them unconsciously.

After closing the computer, Chen Fei stood up, took the pajamas she handed him, and walked straight to the bathroom.

Sensible girls are usually very proactive.

"I'll help you make bubbles."

Fade Chen did not refuse, lying on his back in the bathtub, letting the pair of soft and boneless little hands gently massage his body.

The girl was very sensible, and in order to repay her kindness, he decided to teach her everything he knew.

~

The next day, on the way to attend the wrap-up party of "The Crucible", Fei Chen called Zhu Zhihui directly.

"Change Lin Yuer to a bigger place to live. The sound insulation of that house is too poor, and the environment is not good. I don't like it."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Zhihui's face was filled with a bright smile.

This is the effect she wants!

Mutual benefit is the basis of cooperation. ShowBox is not afraid of Fei Chen's request, but afraid that she has no request.

Fade Chen, who holds the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or awards, is almost equivalent to the US military stationed in South Korea in the entire South Korean entertainment industry!
