Chapter 354 What Do the Outside World Think? Welcome to Join My Gang! Hong Kong Circle Is Really Chaotic! (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Xiao Shen Yang was so angry that he was so angry!
The 2009 Spring Festival Gala had many classic programs, and its ratings ranked first in its time period. Many people were remembered by audiences across the country.
However, among so many performers, none can be more popular than Zhao Benshan’s apprentice!
The "ha" sound attracted many people to imitate it.
…
When Chen Fei woke up early the next morning, he saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang helping the old man to make dumplings. From time to time, they would burst into laughter, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
It wasn't until he walked into the kitchen and heard the old man talking about his embarrassing things that his face suddenly darkened.
"Let me tell you, when Chen Fei was a kid, he once climbed up a tree to pick dates. When he jumped down, his crotch was torn open, and in the end he ran back with his butt naked!"
Chen Fei: "..."
The two women smiled even more happily!
The steaming dumplings were served, and the four of them sat around the table, eating and chatting.
After looking through the New Year greeting messages from last night, Chen Fei simply selected a few and replied to them, then stopped paying too much attention to them.
There are too many people who know his phone number. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people are trying to get close to him. Some actresses even send him intimate text messages overtly or covertly!
Zhou Xun called and started chirping, "Chen Fei, let's go celebrate the New Year! Are you at home?"
"Here, I'm eating dumplings. If you walk faster, you might be able to catch up."
"Okay! We're here!"
There was a knock on the courtyard door not long after, and Zhou Xun led Qin Hao, the little prince of literary and artistic films, followed by Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Mei Ting and others.
Chen Fei was stunned, "Huh? So many people? There aren't enough dumplings to eat!"
"Don't worry, we've all eaten."
Zhou Xun said and rushed in without being polite at all.
Until she saw Liu Yifei and Shu Chang, she raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Just taking a quick look at Liu Yifei's outfit, she knew that the other party must have stayed here for one night. Thinking back to everything in the past, she immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to pretend anymore, right? You brought your girlfriend back." It’s Chinese New Year?”
One sentence directly made Liu Yifei's face turn red with embarrassment.
"No, no!" She wanted to explain, but Zhou Xun didn't give her a chance. "Come on, can Director Chen's wife know how to play mahjong? Let's go together!"
Liu Yifei: "..."
In the courtyard, the card table was set up within a short time.
Chen Fei received a lot of New Year's greeting calls again. This time they were from people from major film and television companies, so he couldn't refuse them directly.
"Mr. Chen, happy New Year. I am Zhong Lifeng from Galloping Horses. Our company is preparing to develop into film investment in the near future. If there is a suitable project, please give me your support, Mr. Chen..."
"good."
Chen Fei responded casually and hung up the phone without waiting for her to continue.
What tricks are you doing?
He has heard that the top executives of this company are all relatives at home. Such partners are too easy to explode, so it is better to have less contact with them.
…
At the same time, inside New Picture Film and Television Company.
Looking at the list of actors recommended by Zhang Weiping, no matter how good-tempered Zhang Yimou was, he couldn't help but get angry at this moment!
"I can still accept Sun Honglei, Yan Ni, and Ni Dahong. At least they are serious professional actors. But tell me what do people like Xiao Shen Yang, Cheng Ye, and Yadan do? Are they also actors? I don't accept it!"
Zhang Weiping persuaded him hard, "These are the most popular actors this year, which will help increase the box office!"
"Can sketch actors be considered actors?"
"Why can't sketch actors be considered actors? Do you know what it means for Zhao Benshan to appear here? Do you know how powerful he is in the Northeast?"
"I don't care what it means! If it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!"
"It has to be appropriate even if it's not appropriate. We are making a commercial film, and we need returns from the box office. These people are famous, have low pay, and have high returns. They are the most suitable candidates!"
"I disagree!"
"I'm not discussing this with you!"
The fierce quarrel eventually led to the two breaking up on bad terms, and Zhang Yimou slammed the door and walked out with anger on his face.
What does riding a horse mean?
He is an internationally renowned director, a model of both literary and commercial flourishing, and he actually has to compromise with a group of people who make sketches? This is simply an insult to him!
In the past, even if new actors were used, they were selected from art theaters. But if these sketch actors are used this time, how will the outside world view him?
…
…
After all, Chen Fei couldn't resist Liu Yifei and Shu Chang. On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, he accompanied them to watch "Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf: Awesome".
Not to mention, this movie is really interesting!
Shu Chang chirped on the way back: "Chen Fei? When will "Kung Fu Panda 2" be released? I still like the kung fu panda, it is so handsome."
"Maybe by the end of the year."
The directing rights for the second part are no longer in Chen Fei's hands. In fact, he himself doesn't know exactly when it will be produced.
However, he provided the script and shooting plan, and the dubbing actors were also chosen from the original cast, so he should be able to create another brilliant achievement.
Liu Yifei is not very interested in animation. She really likes "The Twilight Saga" and has already read the obscure English version of the original work.
"Twilight 3? It will be released in June this year. If you want to watch it in advance, you can go to the editing department of the company. Woody Allen is already doing post-production."
"Yeah!"
Liu Yifei nodded slightly, her eyes brightened.
Watching the movie in advance is not a privilege that everyone can have.
However, compared to watching the movie in advance, she actually has a small question to ask Chen Fei, but Shu Chang is sitting next to her, so she is a little embarrassed to ask.
"Let's find a chance after we go to Berlin."
…
After the Chinese New Year, time is approaching February quickly.
"If You Are the One" has been taken offline, while "Red Cliff 2" has been a complete flop. There are even few promotional activities on the Internet recently.
After Chen Fei asked Su Guohai, he found out that because the box office was too bad, China Film had already taken the movie offline in advance.
"It's not even over yet?"
"Yes!" On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai found a relatively secluded place and whispered, "I heard that Wu Yu wanted to postpone it and try to get 300 million, but was rejected by Mr. Han."
"Haha, Old Wu failed again. His life will not be easy in the future."
Being driven back from Hollywood has already made Wu Yu lose face. Now that "Red Cliff" has failed again, it will be much more difficult for him to continue to attract investment from the mainland!
At the airport, Chen Fei received Huo Qigang and Guo Jingjing who flew to the mainland from Hong Kong.
These two people came to pay New Year's greetings with their elders. After meeting their parents, they can prepare for the engagement.
The two came a day earlier than the elders at home just to get together with friends.
Chen Fei directly took the two of them to the courtyard, and with Liu Yifei, they could just make up a table of mahjong.
Liu's mother was still in Paris and had not returned. She already knew that her daughter was at Chen Fei's house, but she didn't have any objections. Instead, she postponed her return home!
This wave of operations made Chen Fei a little confused.
Why do I feel like I'm sending my daughter away?
Gossip in the circle is always the main way to maintain the topic of conversation, and in this regard, Hong Kong entertainment is much more open than domestic entertainment!
"What's the situation between Zhou Huimin and her boyfriend? I heard that they are preparing to get married? Is it really that man?"
Huo Qigang was stunned for a moment, and almost threw the tube in his hand.
Are you talking about such a big thing right after you come up?
Feeling the gaze falling on him, he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know the specific inside story, but I heard that it was the female college student who took the initiative to seduce Yan Zhen, and Zhou Huimin forgave him."
"Tsk, your Hong Kong circle is really messy!"
Chen Fei sighed and continued to gossip, making Huo Qigang sweat on his forehead.
Guo Jingjing put a lot of tests on him. After all, as the boss of a film company, he comes into contact with all kinds of actresses the most every day.
Thanks to his insistence on keeping his chastity and never making any principled mistakes, he passed the test.
The couple did not stay long and said goodbye after playing for a whole morning.
Before leaving, Huo Qigang specifically told Chen Fei that the company's expansion was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the expansion of 3D screens was also accelerating.
The most urgent task... was to determine the release date of "Cold War".
"Have you finished the post-production?"
"It will be all done by the end of March."
"Then let's put it in the second half of the year. The publicity cycle can be extended. We will mainly take the boutique route, ensuring quality and reputation. The operation of the Academy Awards is also the key."
"Okay, I roughly understand." Huo Qigang nodded thoughtfully.
After seeing off the two lovers, Liu Yifei suddenly received another call. After saying hello, she left in a hurry.
Time turned to February, and the entertainment industry suddenly became lively. Major film and television production companies and directors began to announce their film plans for the new year.
Among them, the new picture has the most momentum!
Zhang Weiping held a press conference and announced some details of Zhang Yimou's new movie.
"The new movie will be determined to be a commercial film, adapted from the famous foreign movie "Blood Labyrinth", and the re-edited movie will be called "Three Guns Surprise".
This time, we will boldly choose Xiao Shenyang and Yadan who shined on the Spring Festival Gala, and other members of the Zhao family will also participate..."
The news came out, and the industry was boiling!
"So, is the era of traffic finally coming?" Chen Fei whispered softly with a newspaper in his hand.
Zhang Weiping is quite good at capturing traffic. Zhou Jielun is a typical case before, and the benefits of the fan group are harvested.
On the other side, Cao Baoping also started looking for investors with his new movie script, and it is said that he is contacting Xiaoma Pentium.
Perhaps in order to take advantage of the excitement of the beginning of the year, news about Zhang Ziyi suddenly came back from abroad!
Fox is currently preparing a Chinese film called "The Secret Fan in the Snow". This is a story with two female protagonists. One of the female protagonists has been confirmed to be Zhang Ziyi. Now they need an opponent who can match her.
As soon as the news came out, several first-line female stars in China became restless.
Especially Fan and Li Bingbing, they immediately began to frequently contact Deng Wendi, wanting to get an audition opportunity.
Some female stars in Hong Kong and South Korea also became restless and began to spread the word through various channels.
Chen Fei didn't pay too much attention to this. It's just a story about women and women. What's so good about it?
You know, there are two real cases beside him. Isn't this more exciting than watching a movie?

On February 3, Ning Hao flew to Berlin again with the rest of the crew of "The Embalmer".
Chen Fei did not leave with them, but went to the new company to meet someone.
Lu Yang brought his classmates from Nortel to the company. He also brought his own works and also wanted to take the route of self-recommendation.
Chen Fei's previous investment in Lu Yang played a big role. Many students in Nortel's Screenwriting and Directing Department began to get excited about this, and wanted to show him their works and try to win whether Can you get investment?
Today, Li Yang is one of the representatives who mustered up the courage.
"Hello, Director Chen, my name is Li Yang, and I am from Beidian Animation College. This is my short film, please take a look."
In the office, Chen Fei took the script he handed over and looked down at it.
""The Adventures of Li Xianli"?"
"Yes!" Li Yang nodded vigorously and briefly introduced: "The story tells the story of Li Xianji, a patient suffering from "jet lag". He has been sitting in front of his PS2 playing a game that is said to have no game. In order to pass the game, he was willing to sell his kidney..."
Half an hour later, Chen Fei raised his head and approved.
"very nice."
Hearing these three words, Li Yang suddenly became excited.
You know, the person sitting in front of you is the top animation director who created "WALL-E" and "Kung Fu Panda".
Chen Fei has won all the international animation awards such as the Golden Globe, Oscar, Annie Award, and Saturn Award.
Therefore, for Li Yang, being encouraged by Chen Fei means that he has been recognized by the top directors in the international animation field!
Three simple words were enough to make him so happy that he couldn't sleep all night!
Chen Fei looked at him with a smile, "Since you were introduced by Lu Yang, I naturally don't need to consider your professionalism too much. And judging from the quality of this short film script, your story writing skills are also quite good. I I like your story very much.
So, are you planning to ask me to invest in your script? Or do you want to join my company like Lu Yang?
In addition to financial support, my resources are also top-notch in the entire domestic entertainment industry. If you are interested, you can go to DreamWorks to make this animation, and I will have technical staff to cooperate with you throughout the process. "
The reason why Chen Fei offers many temptations is actually very simple.
He is very optimistic about the young man in front of him. You must know that "The Adventures of Li Xianli" was called "the best domestic animation in 2009" by netizens, and its director Li Yang was even called "a genius director" by netizens!
He has appeared in many subsequent popular animations. In the animation industry, he has extremely high talent.
If Li Yang can be brought under his command now, the future "National Comic Plan" will be implemented very smoothly!
At the same time, Li Yang himself was very excited when faced with Chen Fei's recruitment.
Before he came, he only thought that he could get an investment from Chen Fei and it would be a success, but he never expected that he would have the opportunity to join Feiyue Film and Television!
Thinking of Chen Fei's achievements and achievements in the field of animation, as well as the temptation to go to DreamWorks to produce animation, his breathing became heavier unconsciously.
"Can I...can I?"
Chen Fei smiled and felt a little more at ease, "I said you can do it, then you can do it, and in fact, you can put this short film aside for a while."
"Ah?" Li Yang's face showed some confusion.
Chen Fei explained: "The filming of "Kung Fu Panda 2" has already begun. If you are willing to follow me, you can first join the animation production team and learn foreign technologies, and then make your short film. Maybe There will be quite a harvest then.”
The straw that broke the camel's back came.
Li Yang was overjoyed and said quickly: "I do! Can I join the job now? When can I participate in the production of "Kung Fu Panda 2"?"
"anytime."
Chen Fei stood up and extended his hand to him, "Welcome to my team. We have huge resources here that you can't even imagine. As long as you are good enough, I will make you the top animation director in the mainland."
Hearing this, Li Yang quickly stretched out his hands to hold Chen Fei's hand tightly, his face showing the unique...ambition of a young man!
…
On February 4th, Chen Fei got on a plane to Berlin.
The opening ceremony was on the 5th, and the jury specially called him and invited him to be there to participate.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he landed in Berlin, news about Zhao Yanzi came from the country.
The movie "Mulan" starring her and Chen Kun has been finalized. As the producer, Bona specially prepared a grand finalizing banquet in Beijing!
Judging from their posture, it is obvious that they are preparing to promote "Mulan" together.
"Oh, you guys caught the traffic password."
Chen Fei curled his lips and didn't pay too much attention.
The investment in the two movies is so different that they are not even qualified to be compared together. Their bundling will only lead to self-humiliation in the end.
On the morning of the 5th, before the opening ceremony started, Chen Fei went to the film jury to say hello.
The chairman of the jury is Tilda Swinton, a British actress who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar last year. She will be a partner of Marvel in the future and will play the role of "Ancient Master".
As for the others, there is nothing to pay attention to. After simply greeting them, Chen Fei ran to meet Ning Hao and others.
When he saw Liu Yifei, Chen Fei whispered to her: "I heard about your grandmother. I am sorry for your misfortune."
Some time ago, this girl hurriedly left after receiving a phone call. Chen Fei was quite curious about what happened to her. Later, when the paparazzi broke the news, he found out that her grandmother had passed away.
However, perhaps because she had lived with her mother since she was a child, her emotional foundation for that family was not very high.
Facing Chen Fei's consolation, she smiled back and nodded gently, "Thank you, I'm fine."
At this time, Liu Yifei seemed to remember something, looked around, and asked softly: "By the way, boss, "Departures" has been finished for a long time, how should I arrange my next work?"
Her agency contract was signed with Walton Pictures, so it was quite appropriate to call Chen Fei boss.
