Chapter 533 What Happens when You Say Something Harsh? "The God of War in the Mainland Film Circle"! He Was Born with an Honest Face.
After Chen Fei's new round of shouting on Weibo was reposted by Hong Kong media, it directly caused a huge sensation in the Hong Kong film industry!
"Are you here for the war or the fight?"
These words were so arrogant that they were very annoying, but the effect was surprisingly good!
In the face of Chen Fei's proposal to "set up a ring", although the Hong Kong entertainment side was still clamoring, no one dared to come out to fight.
Adhering to the idea that "no comparison means no loss", a small number of people still acted very arrogantly!
Until Chen Fei personally came out to name them, those "jumping clowns" suddenly fell silent.
In the past, they could still shout a few words behind the media and the big guys in the circle, but now they were suddenly named and asked to go out to compete, and they wilted faster than anyone else!
Fighting with martial arts? I can't beat them.
Competing with literature? I have no confidence.
Damn it, it's so frustrating!
...
At this time, in the Hong Kong film industry, a meeting led by the big guys of Hong Kong entertainment was in progress.
At the main seat, an old man with gray hair and a cane was shouting: "No one dares to go out and fight? Aren't you all very capable? Why are you all so scared now?"
On both sides of the conference table, a group of directors represented by Wu Yu, Chen Kexin, Wang Jing, Wen Jun and others were hanging their heads and saying nothing.
They wanted to give it a try.
But no matter how you look at it, they have no chance of winning this "challenge".
Not to mention these middle-aged wretched men who are "good-for-nothings", even if Chen Long, Hong Jingbao, Li Lianjie, and Zhen Zixuan came together, they probably wouldn't be able to beat Chen Fei alone!
As for Bi Wen...
Whether it's movie box office or awards, Chen Fei can crush the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry with one hand!
In front of the total box office of $8 billion directed by a single director, even Wu Yu, a commercial film director who has been in Hollywood for many years, has to kneel down and call him "Dad" when he meets him!
As for awards, Chen Fei won two Best Director Awards at the Oscars, the father of the Hong Kong Film Awards!
Which of these directors here dares to guarantee that as long as he makes a movie, he will definitely win the Best Director Award at the Oscars?
Obviously, no one has that ability!
So, they have no choice but to admit defeat.
It's okay to talk big, but if you really want to roll up your sleeves and rush forward, let others do it.
Although the old man is old, his verbal skills are not weak at all. Several directors, actors, and film and television company bosses in the conference room who were scolding him all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him or argue with him.
In the end, he could only say something as harsh as farting: "Since the domestic entertainment industry is so awesome, let them live and play on their own.
From now on, the Hong Kong Film Awards will no longer award any mainland film or actor!
Spread this news to me, I want them to understand how terrible the consequences of offending us will be!"
...
After arriving in Hong Kong, all the cast and crew of "One Man's Martial Arts" were warmly received.
Before leaving, Chen Fei specifically told Lu Yang that no matter what problems occurred on the set, he should contact the person in charge of Yinghuang as soon as possible.
If such a strong relationship is not used well, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?
With the support of the local boss, the crew's preparations went very smoothly.
On the day the movie started, although Chen Fei did not personally arrive at the scene to support it, the chairman of Yinghuang did appear on the scene.
And with him, there were also Huo Qigang, Shi Nansheng and others.
The latter two represented Golden Harvest and Media Asia respectively, and it was clear that they wanted to support this movie.
The top three local bosses in the Hong Kong film industry all arrived at the scene to support "One Man's Martial Arts", which naturally became one of the news that the Hong Kong media reported vigorously!
If nothing unexpected happens, the filming of this movie will be very smooth.

"What? Ban mainland movies? Mainland movies, directors, and actors are strictly prohibited from participating in the selection of the Academy Awards?"
When Chen Fei received the call from Xu Ke, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing!
In his opinion, the Hong Kong film industry is completely digging its own grave.
Relying on those old actors who can be counted on one's fingers, and those young actors who are in a period of transition, they still want to support the Academy Awards?
It's just a dream!
On the other end of the phone, Xu Ke was speechless: "I thought they would first find a few martial artists to fight with you, and then find a few directors to compete with you for commercial film box office and art film awards.
But I never expected that they would do this!"
Xu Ke was also embarrassed.
If he remembered correctly, Chen Fei had not participated in the Academy Awards for several years.
This counterattack was just like a one-year-old child raising his fist and hitting Iron Man's armor. Not only did it not cause any damage to the other party, but it also scratched his hand.
"Hahaha! Obviously, those old men are completely confused..."
The next day, Chen Fei received news again.
Many people in the mainland wanted to find a middleman to pass on the message to him and ease the relationship between the two parties, but they were all rejected.
In Han Sanping's words, "Who is willing to be this middleman? It's thankless and you have to offend people. Only a fool would do this."
This time, even the official Film Bureau did not show up, but just let Chen Fei fire wildly at that side!
Some people even gave him the title of "God of War in the Mainland Film Circle".
The meaning is obvious. In the fight against the Hong Kong film circle, he is completely one against a hundred. Isn't this the "God of War"?
...
Kang Honglei is also impatient. Since "The Murderer" passed the review and officially entered the preparation period, he began to select actors in the circle.
He didn't even look at the resumes sent to the mailbox. He relied entirely on his understanding of the script to find the actors he thought were suitable.
The actor's ranking and fame are not worth mentioning to him. What he wants is the right one.
"I think it is very important that the character image fits. The acting skills can be slowly adjusted, but if the image and temperament do not match, it will definitely make the fans feel disconnected..."
While listening to Kang Honglei talking, Chen Fei looked at the list in his hand.
Song Laoer: Zhang Songwen.
Dong Xiaofeng: Zhang Yi.
Wang Youquan: Aruna.
Yang Shuhua: Zhu Zhu.
Sister Ping: Tan Zhuo.
It's true, thinking about the acting skills and images of these people in my memory, they are really fucking suitable!
Let me ask you, who dares to say that Zhang Songwen looks dishonest?
He was born with an honest face!
After coming back to his senses, Chen Fei pointed at the two names "Zhang Songwen" and "Aruna" and asked curiously: "How do you know these two people?"
Tang Honglei responded without hesitation: "I met them when I was filming a TV series before. Their acting skills are very good, so I left my contact information at that time."
"So that's it!"
Chen Fei smiled and didn't ask too much. He said directly: "Since you have already decided, go and arrange it.
I will completely hand over this movie to you. I hope you can successfully change your career and try some more distinctive movie themes."
Kang Honglei laughed and said: "Haha, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
...
After sending Kang Honglei away, Chen Fei did not leave the company, but found the script of "Hidden in the Dust" and began to check it carefully.
About half an hour later, the assistant pushed open the door and whispered, "Mr. Chen, Director Tian and Director Shen have arrived. They have been arranged in the reception room."
"Okay."
Fade Chen raised his head and responded, closed the script, and walked straight to the reception room.
In the reception room at this time, Shen Ao was humbly asking for advice, and very respectfully asked Tian Zhuangzhuang for some knowledge about film shooting.
Before coming to the company, he was still wondering if Chen Fei would arrange work for him again?
After the filming of "Wolf Warrior", he was idle. He has been lying at home for more than ten days, and his limbs are almost degenerated.
The post-production editing of the film does not need him as an assistant director. Wang Shiliang is still the main person in charge of editing, and he can't get close to him at all.
When he came to the company today, he was still full of longing, if only he could direct a movie himself.
But what he never expected was that as soon as he walked into the company's reception room, he saw Tian Zhuangzhuang, the current head of the Beijing Film Academy's directing department!
Just like a mouse seeing a cat, he instantly wilted.
When Chen Fei pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Shen Ao, who looked like a good boy, and Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was sitting with his legs crossed and guiding him with shooting experience.
"Hey? What's the state of the two of you?"
"Director Chen, you are here." Shen Ao stood up suddenly, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and explained: "Teacher Tian is the class teacher of the 2005 directing department of our Beijing Film Academy, and I am one of his students."
"There is such a relationship? That's a coincidence."
Chen Fei said while handing the script in his hand to Tian Zhuangzhuang.
"Is this the script of the art film you mentioned?"
Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at him first, then lowered his head and flipped through it.
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and said: "Take a look first, and we'll talk after you finish reading it."
The story of "Hidden in the Dust" mainly tells the story of two lonely individuals abandoned by their respective families, who support each other in their day-to-day hard work.
The plot is very simple. In short, it is the mental journey of a couple of peasants from the bottom of society from strangers to familiarity, from knowing each other to staying together.
However, unlike other art films, the story of "Hidden in the Dust" is even more tragic than "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"!
At the end of the story, the two people who supported each other were completely hidden in the dust under the bulldozer.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
After closing the script, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but sighed: "The story is really good, combining realism, romanticism, symbolism... It's rare to pass the review."
Then, he asked directly: "You asked me to come this time, are you going to let me direct this movie?"
Before Chen Fei could speak, Shen Ao's eyes lit up.
On the premise of finding Tian Zhuangzhuang, he called him over again. Is it to let him be the deputy director of "Hidden in the Dust"?
What a good relationship!
You can definitely learn a lot from making a movie with Tian Zhuangzhuang.
But the next second, Chen Fei suddenly shook his head: "No, I'm going to invite you, Mr. Tian, to play the role of 'Ma Youtie'.
As for the directing work, let Shen Ao do it. You can help me train this kid as a producer."
Hearing this, Shen Ao was stunned, and Tian Zhuangzhuang beside him was also stunned.
"I'm an actor? Playing 'Ma Youtie'?"
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded very seriously and added: "I have seen the movies "The South of the Clouds" and "The Great Pursuit" in which you participated, and your acting skills are very good.
More importantly, I think your image and age are very suitable for the role of "Ma Youtie". I believe you can definitely perform the effect I want.
Anyway, you are not busy recently, you can try the identity of "actor", maybe you can go to Berlin to win a trophy for the best actor."
Hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In 1992, when he entered his forties, he began to reflect on his directorial career over the past decade.
After filming "Hunting Zasa" and "Horse Thief", he once gave up his principles and regarded filming as his "profession", and he would film whatever paid for it.
But as he grew older, he gradually realized what he really wanted, and decided not to film any movies he didn't want to film in the future.
After all these experiences, he began to devote his energy to supporting new directors. Starting from "Growing Up", he has repeatedly provided help to the sixth-generation directors and many new directors as a producer.
And now, he has become the director of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.
He has been working hard to support new directors and has not slacked off.
And now, another script he likes is in front of him.
Art film theme, male lead, producer, support for new directors...
Each of these features makes him very excited!
"I have never officially served as the male lead, and I don't know if it can work. Don't mess it up for you."
Chen Fei laughed and said, "He Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou can do it, why can't you?"
"Haha, I love to hear this!"
Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed.
Shen Ao listened to the conversation between the two silently, and his face was already red.
He was so excited!
He never expected that he could finally direct a movie himself!
What made him even more excited was that the male lead of his movie turned out to be Tian Zhuangzhuang!
If this news spread to the 2005 directing department group, it would definitely cause a huge sensation!
They even pulled the director of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy to act in the movie. Just thinking about it makes people feel like they are having an orgasm in their brains.
At the end of the conversation, the choice of the female lead was inevitably brought up.
Chen Fei did not make any suggestions to the two of them. He just chuckled and said, "Regarding who will play the female lead 'Cao Guiying', let you two discuss and decide."
The suitability of actors has always been the focus of art films.
Although Hai Qing's acting skills are pretty good in my memory, she has just won the title of "National Daughter-in-law" and is obviously not suitable to partner with Tian Zhuangzhuang in this movie.
