Chapter 521: Stand up for the Team! Do You Know What the Mainland Leader Is? The Cast of "Dallas Buyers Club" Is Officially Confirmed!

"Mr. Chen? Why is that?"

In the Yangyu Building, in the chairman's office, listening to Chen Fei's voice on the other end of the phone, Mr. Yang was completely confused!

"Ip Man 3" is scheduled for July 1st, which was agreed upon by both parties two months ago.

Although after the successful release date, Zhen Zixuan was not very willing to cooperate with the promotion because he had too many film projects, Mr. Yang still gritted his teeth and endured it.

Yangyu lost money on several movies in a row last year, and now it is waiting to recover from "Ip Man".

If there is a problem with this movie, the financial report at the end of the year will be negative!

Because of this, facing the various unreasonable requests made by Zhen Zixuan's agency, Yangyu still gritted its teeth and agreed.

But today, Chen Fei suddenly said that he would withdraw "Ip Man 3". Doesn't that mean that Yangyu's two months of publicity investment have been wasted?

Mr. Yang felt his heart twitching, and he was almost ready to call someone to send emergency heart pills.

But the next second, Chen Fei's words suddenly brightened his eyes!

"Don't worry, I will make up for your loss later. I still have many scripts suitable for filming in Hong Kong. Our cooperation will not be completely cut off because of the withdrawal of Ip Man."

Chen Fei has made up his mind to suspend the Ip Man series indefinitely.

The butt determines the head.

Since the butt is already crooked, just remove the chair here.

On the opposite side, Yang Sheng smiled happily after hearing his words.

If the loss of "Ip Man 3" can be exchanged for more scripts, then just throw it away.

It just so happens that he has been fed up with Zhen Zixuan for a long time.

This person cannot be popular. After becoming popular, he even forgot where to put his head.

Just take the opportunity to teach him a lesson!

Still putting on airs in front of Yang Yu?

It's really the peaceful times that gave him the confidence!

If this was in the past, would he dare not cooperate? Let alone you, Zhen Zixuan, even Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, and Chen Long have to cooperate obediently in the face of the black gun!

After a few simple words about this matter, Yang Sheng probably guessed some inside information.

Yongsheng has been jumping around in Hong Kong recently, which has had a lot of impact on Yangyu's business. It's just the right opportunity to eliminate this opponent.

The Hong Kong market is so big that Yangyu, Golden Harvest, and Media Asia are the three major players. There is no room for other companies.

How can others sleep peacefully beside the bed?

He immediately said: "Mr. Chen, what do you think should be arranged next? I will listen to you. Yangyu will definitely be your most loyal partner."

"I will send you the script later, and Su Guohai will go there in person to discuss the details of the cooperation with you."

"Okay, I will definitely entertain Mr. Su well."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Sheng suppressed his excitement and walked back and forth in the office.

He was very fortunate that after the "Zhao Zhen dispute" began, Yang Yu had never taken sides.

According to Chen Fei, Feiyue Film and Television would choose to stand behind Zhao Wenzhuo next.

As for Zhen Zixuan...

The moment he chose to stand, he was abandoned.

Chen Fei did not lack a "Ip Man 3", and those three melons and two dates were the same to him.

But for Zhen Zixuan, this was an important opportunity for him to turn things around!

Unfortunately, he had been completely blinded by his current popularity and heat, and could not see clearly who gave him all this.

"Ding Dong!"

The email message suddenly rang.

Yang Sheng hurried back to the back of his desk and couldn't wait to open the newly received email message.

"A Man's Martial Arts", "The Man from Macau 1, 2, 3"

"Hiss!"

Looking at the four scripts that appeared in the mailbox one after another, he was secretly shocked!

"Big deal, a real big deal!"

He had great confidence in Chen Fei. With these four scripts, Yang Yu could at least maintain its glory for four full years!

He clicked on the project content of the script of "One Man's Martial Arts".

Looking around, in the column of the male lead, the names of Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Wenzhuo stood out!

Old people are smarter. Almost in an instant, he had already thought of what Chen Fei would do next.

However, just as he was thinking about how Yang Yu should cooperate and maximize the benefits, the phone rang suddenly.

He did not check the caller ID and directly pressed the answer button.

The next second, a voice that made him frown came from the receiver: "Mr. Yang, the public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable to our Hong Kong entertainment industry. As the leader, it is time for Yang Yu to leave. If you wait any longer, I am afraid there will be big problems..."

Mr. Yang heard who was on the other side.

The boss of Zhen Zixuan's agency, a senior in the Hong Kong circle, and a senior and veteran agent!

"Then what? What does this have to do with me? And what does it have to do with Yang Yu?"

The other party was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Mr. Yang to give such a reply.

After a moment, the voice on the other side sounded again: "But if Zhen Zixuan is affected by this incident, it may have an adverse impact on the release of "Ip Man 3"..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Mr. Yang hung up the phone without hesitation.

Damn!

He gets angry when he thinks of this!

Because of Zhen Zixuan's various actions, the release of "Ip Man 3" was postponed for a time.

Now there is a "Zhao Zhen dispute" again. If it goes as expected, he will not be able to continue to develop in the mainland in the next few years.

"You're still playing "Ip Man 3", what the hell..."

Yang Sheng complained nonchalantly, but did not take his eyes away from the scripts.

Compared with "One Man's Martial Arts", he still prefers purely commercial films like "Macau Storm".

Just reading the script is already very exciting. If this is filmed, it will definitely hit the box office!

"Jingle Bell!"

The phone suddenly rang again.

"Is it over?" Yang Sheng's face darkened and he was about to hang up the phone, but after taking a look at the caller ID, he immediately smiled.

He quickly pressed the connect button: "Hello? Mr. Su?"

On the other side of the phone, Su Guohai said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, I have arrived at the Capital Airport now, shall we meet in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport."

Yang Sheng responded with emotion in his heart.

The script has just been sent and the negotiators are about to arrive!

Look at their efficiency, they are so impressive!

…

Ever since the term "Hu Shu Bao" came out, there has been absolutely no movement from Feng Xiaogang's side.

This word is so poisonous that it can be said that the small steel cannon was defeated and unable to withstand.

Let alone responding to the controversy on the Internet, he can't even get rid of the media and reporters surrounding the "1942" crew.

The banner appeared so brightly outside the crew, which made him angry and had a headache, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He even called the police twice, but to no avail.

They just pulled up a banner outside the crew, but it didn't interfere with your normal filming.

Moreover, the words "Hu Shu Bao" did not refer to you by name, Feng Xiaogang, so how can you care about this?

There is nothing the official can do, let alone Feng Xiaogang.

Seeing that we had no fun watching it for the time being, Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and focused all his attention on the script "Dallas Buyers Club".

Matthew had returned to Los Angeles from Florida and showed up at his office just in time.

Chen Fei directly handed over the script in his hand.

"Dallas Buyers Club" is actually a biographical script.

Its content is adapted from real events that happened in the life of Ron Woodroof. It mainly tells the story of Ron, an electrician living in Texas, USA, in the 1880s. After he was suddenly informed that he had late-stage AIDS and his time was running out, he Qiang Qiang worked hard to search for various drugs and treatments, and with the help of transgender gay AIDS patient Ruiyang, he established the Dallas Buyers Club, bringing the gospel story to thousands of AIDS patients.

This story is destined to not be a commercial movie.

Therefore, as soon as he read the script, Matthew McConaughey couldn't wait to ask: "Fei, you... are you preparing to launch another charge at the Oscars?"

Matthew read a lot of connotations from the content of the script!

The male protagonist Ron is a stubborn and powerful person who has experienced unexpected changes in his life but never gives in.

He is not a big hero, he is just a small person, but he shows how marginalized groups can achieve themselves through struggle and mediation, and promote the progress of law and society!

And the most important thing is that the content of the script pays special attention to several social phenomena and groups, including human rights, life, American cowboy culture, homosexuality, transvestism, etc.

This story is so Oscar-worthy!

Looking at the inexplicably excited Matthew McConaughey in front of him, Chen Fei nodded gently: "How is it? Do you think this story is very good?"

Matthew exclaimed very exaggeratedly: "Oh! It's so great! I saw a hero inside that is completely different from the common superheroes!"

Ron in the script story is not a real hero, and even deviates from the characteristics of a standard hero at first.

He is ugly, lazy, cunning, and deceptive...

But such a little person suddenly grew up from the moment he learned that he was suffering from AIDS and would die soon!

His sense of responsibility can be said to be vivid, and he has even become a real hero in the eyes of some groups!

Chen Fei smiled and continued: "Matthew, I admire you very much, because I admire your seriousness in performing.

Now I am officially extending an invitation to you, hoping that you can play the role of 'Ron'.

Let’s charge towards the next Oscars together! I wonder what you think? "

Matthew McConaughey could no longer contain his excitement at this time.

He quickly stood up, stretched out his hands towards Chen Fei, and shook hands with him: "Fei, thank you very much for giving me such an opportunity, I will never let you down!"

Afterwards, the two discussed the content of the script.

Chen Fei looked at Matthew McConaughey's body shape with slightly complicated eyes: "Matthew, you don't look like an AIDS patient now."

"I know." Matthew nodded slightly and said seriously: "Fei, give me a month, and I will let you see the real Ron!"

"I look forward to your performance."

After sending away Matthew McConaughey, Chen Fei began to select candidates for the remaining roles.

In addition to the male protagonist Ron, there are several very impressive characters in "Dallas Buyers Club".

For example, "Ri Yang", a transgender homosexual with a hobby of cross-dressing, "Eve", a medical elite, "Dr. Seward", a despicable and greedy man, and Ron's former "cowboy friend T.J."

Chen Fei has already made preliminary choices for candidates for these roles.

For the role of "Rui Yang", he prefers Jared Leto, who lost 28 pounds for the role in "Requiem for a Dream" and became a drug addict.

This guy is also a "thousand-face actor" in Hollywood!

In addition to "Requiem for a Dream", what Chen Fei admires is that in 2004, when he participated in director Oliver Stone's film "Alexander the Great", he became a bodybuilding fighter by gaining weight and exercising, and interpreted the homosexual partner of Colin Farrell's character with a charming and tender look.

Because of these acting experiences, Chen Fei believes that he can definitely interpret the feeling of "transgender homosexuality".

The remaining three roles of "Eve", "Dr. Seward" and "Cowboy Friend T.J" are easier to solve.

Liu Yifei, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon.

It can be said that the original crew of "Interstellar" has returned again!

In the next few days, Chen Fei contacted these actors he had booked.

Liu Yifei doesn't need to say much, she is now completely focused on Chen Fei.

No matter what he says, she will definitely do it!

The role of "Eve" does not require very high acting skills for the actor. Chen Fei mainly wants her to continue learning and hopes that she can establish her own style in acting.

Liu Yifei's goal has always been to become the second Gong Huang in China, and the difficulty of achieving this goal is no less than Leo's pursuit of Oscar winner.

On the other hand, Matt Damon agreed without hesitation when he heard that he was needed to make a cameo.

A Venice Film Festival winner, plus an Oscar winner, has completely tied him to Chen Fei's warship.

If it weren't for other projects in hand, he would even want to compete for the role of "Ron".

As for Jack Nicholson, he is the most professional in Hollywood in terms of playing villains.

The original "Joker" won praise from the American audience!

The old man was originally in the stage of retiring, but who made him owe Chen Fei a favor?

After playing this role, I can repay the favor.

Leonardo's phone call followed closely: "Fei?! I heard that you have created another wonderful script? Are you going to continue to compete for the Oscar?"

"Hey? You are well-informed!"

Fade Chen didn't blame him and agreed directly.

"Oh, my God! Why don't you wait for me! I think I can be your leading actor!"

If you want to talk about who in Hollywood is most obsessed with Oscar leading actor? Then Leonardo can definitely be ranked first.

After years of running for the role and repeated failures, it is so pitiful that people pity him.

"Ron is not suitable for you. The leading actor needs to lose weight."

When he heard the word "weight loss", Leonardo was silent instantly.

In order to prevent his handsomeness from becoming a defect in competing for the Oscar, Leo has completely given up body management in recent years.

If he loses weight and returns to become the "Jack" he once was, then his efforts over the years will be completely in vain.

"Alas! What a pity."

Leonardo sighed and had no choice but to give up.

But he was not too sad, because in the next two years, "The Great Gatsby" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring him will be released one after another.

He just didn't believe it. Couldn't these two movies help him get an Oscar for Best Actor?

…

…

At the same time, just when Chen Fei began to prepare for "Dallas Buyers Club", there was new movement in China.

"One Man's Martial Arts" passed the review!

When the filing information of this movie was made public by the Film Bureau, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

And when many people in the circle and netizens saw the cast, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time!

Movie: "One Man's Martial Arts".

Producer: Feiyue Film and Television, Yangyu Film.

Producer: Su Guohai, Yang Sheng.

Director: Lu Yang.

Screenwriter: Chen Fei.

Male lead: Wang Baoqiang, Zhao Wenzhuo (double male lead).

Female lead: Bai Zhuo.

Regarding the choice of the female lead, Yang Sheng called in person, hoping to let Bai Zhuo play.

Chen Fei had no opinion on this, because the heroine was just a vase role in this movie, as long as her acting was not too bad.

At the same time, as the "One Man's Martial Arts" movie project was announced, Feiyue Film and Yang Entertainment issued a notice at the same time:

"Due to some internal reasons, "Ip Man 3" will be withdrawn from the July schedule. We will continue to consider a new release schedule after re-evaluation..."

As soon as these two pieces of news were announced, many companies, stars, and artists in the mainland and Hong Kong circles took a breath of cold air!

The "One Man's Martial Arts" project was announced, and Zhao Wenzhuo played the leading role.

"Ip Man 3" starring Zhen Zixuan was withdrawn from the schedule.

The emergence of these two things is undoubtedly an announcement to the outside world that Feiyue Film and Yang Entertainment have chosen to stand with Zhao Wenzhuo!

Zhen Zixuan was abandoned!

For a time, the circle was shocked!

The media that were originally besieging Feng Xiaogang all gathered downstairs of Feiyue Film and Television, and a large number of messages appeared under Chen Fei's Weibo.

In response to this, Chen Fei simply forwarded the announcement from the official Weibo account as a response and support.

Zhao Wenzhuo was quite excited. While forwarding the notice, he also thanked Chen Fei for his recognition of him, as well as Feiyue Film and Yangyu for their support...

With Feiyue Film and Television officially joining the team, partners such as China Film, Shanghai Film, Guangguang, and Wanda naturally chose to support it.

When the mainland was completely united, Hong Kong media and Hong Kong entertainment naturally became grasshoppers in autumn, and they could not jump for a few days.

There was a chorus of applause online:

"Two male protagonists, an action movie... huh? Is this going to compete with "Special Identity"?

"I didn't expect Director Chen to be so decisive as soon as he made his move, and even pulled "Ip Man 3" off the schedule, which is so cool!"

"Fuck, this is the real killer move!"

"I admire you! I really admire you! Comparing it with "Whisper", Director Chen is the real leader in the mainland!"

"Alas, Lao Mouzi is also useless, Feng Xiaogang is in this state again, and Brother Chen Kai is even more useless. I found that in recent years, apart from Chen Fei and Ning Hao, and the directors under Feiyue Films, no one else in the mainland film market can compete!"

"That's right..."
