Chapter 544: The Two Guardians Have Achieved Success, Their Contracts Are About to Expire, and They Are Preparing for the Final Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City!
Chapter 544: The two guardians have achieved success, their contracts are about to expire, and preparations are underway... The final battle on the top of the Forbidden City!
Perhaps in order to compete with Brother Chen Kai, the scale of Guangguang's premiere this time is far from comparable to last year's "Painted Wall".
After chatting with Wang Changtian and Han Sanping, Chen Fei turned his eyes elsewhere.
It can be clearly seen that there are no actors below the second line at the scene!
And the most powerful ones have to look at the artists under Huayi.
In the industry, when it comes to brokerage companies with "high-profile personalities", Huayi, controlled by the two brothers of the Wang family, is definitely No. 1. No matter what happens in the company, it has to issue a press release everywhere.
In the recent topics of gossip among celebrities in the circle after dinner, the marriage of Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu is often mentioned.
The two guardians of the "Stabbing Knife" sect have finally achieved success, which can be called "a good match".
At this time, in Chen Fei's sight, the two of them were holding hands and greeting others everywhere, looking like a loving couple.
However, Li Xiaolu would fiddle with her hair from time to time, and seemed very dissatisfied with her current hairstyle.
Chen Fei quickly retracted his gaze. After all, he was not a hairstylist and had no interest in doing people's hair.
...
As time went by, more and more celebrities and actors appeared at this premiere event.
Huayi, Bona, Xingmei, Yinghuang, Chengtian, Hairun...
Almost all the heads of the production and agency companies that could rank in the industry were present, followed by the top brothers and sisters of each company.
Huang Xiaoming still led his baby and greeted people everywhere, as if he was going to introduce resources to his girlfriend.
Deng Chao and Sun Li reunited again, attracting a lot of media attention.
Chen Fei even saw Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi from Tangren.
He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly remembered that Liu Shishi had starred in Guangguang's "Sad Fairy Tale", so it was not too out of place for her to appear here.
"Haha, Director Chen, long time no see."
Huang Xiaoming has now officially entered the producer circle, and his network of contacts has once again reached a new level, leaving Deng Chao, Tong Dawei and others far behind.
Chen Fei casually said: "I heard that the movie you are filming now is quite rushed? How do you have time to come back?"
"Director Wang invited me, even if I am very busy, I have to squeeze out time to come here."
Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh. When it comes to this kind of social interaction, Huang Xiaozhu is also the best.
In such occasions, Yang Ying automatically speaks less.
She knows that she doesn't have much face, and those directors and producers are polite to her, all for Huang Xiaoming's sake.
So when facing Chen Fei, she just smiled gently and said nothing.
She hasn't learned Huang Xiaoming's other advantages yet, but she is very good at "fighting the strong and stepping on the weak".
However, some people's emotional intelligence seems to be much lower.
"Director Chen, I heard that your company has prepared several movies recently. Is there any role suitable for Shishi? Considering our past friendship, I wonder if you can give her an audition opportunity..."
I don't know when it started, Cai Yinong became more and more mercenary, and her ambition was simply not concealed!
Chen Fei originally had a good impression of Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, but because of Cai Yinong's various tricks, he unconsciously stayed away from Tangren and the artists under his company.
"If there is a suitable role, I will ask someone to send an audition invitation letter."
Chen Fei said a few vague words casually, found an excuse to go to the front row, and didn't want to continue chatting with them.
"Alas!" Cai Yinong sighed, her eyes full of regret.
Although Liu Shishi, who was standing aside, was full of smiles, she couldn't help feeling a little lonely in her heart.
I don't know why, but when she stood here, she felt out of place.
No one paid attention to her, no one paid attention to her, and no one cared about her.
This feeling was really uncomfortable!
But besides feeling powerless, she had no way to deal with or solve it.
Tangren was already going downhill, and as a subordinate of Cai Yinong, she would naturally be affected by it.
She wanted to change this situation very much, but she didn't know how to do it for a while.
...
Near noon, the premiere officially began.
Chen Jiashang led a group of main creators to accept media interviews on the stage, telling some interesting stories about the filming of the movie.
The media in the audience had greeted in advance, and no one would say something to spoil the mood, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Soon, the movie started.
Chen Fei watched it very seriously.
He could clearly perceive that there were many plots adapted from this movie, and Chen Jiashang seemed to be trying his best to express his thoughts.
This is also a common problem in Chinese-language movies.
As a commercial film, it always has to mix in various personal emotions. Some audiences can empathize, but others naturally cannot accept it.
As for the success or failure, it still depends on the box office performance after the release.
After the movie is over, the follow-up guest commentary session is naturally indispensable.
And the reason why Wang Changtian invited Chen Fei to come here is for this session!
Liu Yan, who was in charge of hosting, looked at the audience and smiled: "Can Director Chen comment on this movie and the performance of the actors?"
Before Chen Fei could say anything, Wang Changtian had already handed over the microphone himself.
"Hey?" Chen Fei looked at Lao Wang's eager eyes and couldn't help but shook his head and reached out to take the phone.
After organizing his words a little, he said: "It's a pity that Director Lu Yang is not here today, otherwise we can let him express his opinions. He is much better at martial arts movies than me.
The story of the film is pretty good, and it adds a lot of fresh elements while maintaining the huge martial arts structure of the original work, which can be considered a highlight.
Yang Mi’s acting skills are quite good. Although there are many small flaws, they are not hidden. Keep up the good work. In the future, you can try to extend it to literary films and dramas and continue to hone it in depth..."
Most of what Chen Fei said were polite remarks and did not comment on the content of the film in more depth.
After all, he couldn't say that the film was totally bullshit.
The "super elements" mentioned in the original work were over-amplified, the "Four Famous Catchers" were designed to be the "Fantastic Four" with special abilities, and the final battle against the villain BOSS was designed to be a living person versus a zombie...
It is simply a stew of various elements in one pot, which is very consistent with director Xiang Jiang's film style.
Everyone at the scene applauded generously.
Yang Mi even took the microphone, and under the attention of the media, she expressed her gratitude to Chen Fei:
"The reason why I was able to get this role is also thanks to the introduction of Director Chen and the love of Director Wang. Otherwise, I would not be here. Thank you very much for your help..."
Many actresses in the audience cast envious glances.
The resources in the circle are already very limited. To be able to be praised by Chen Fei personally, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "green smoke rising from the ancestral graves".
The premiere lasted until about 4 p.m.
The media release has spread.
Chen Fei logged into the film and television information website and took a look. As expected, on the headline interface, it was his "very pertinent" comments about the movie and Yang Mi.
A group of "bees" scurried back and forth in the comment area, once praising Yang Mi as the only one in the world.
…
"Jiajia, does what Director Chen said at the premiere mean that he will support me to win awards at major film festivals next?"
In the car on the way back, Yang Mi's face was full of excitement. She was in the limelight today and crushed Liu Shishi into a scumbag!
As the old saying goes, the beholder knows better. Zeng Jia didn't have much of a smile on his face.
She glanced at Yang Mi with some confusion and said softly: "Mimi, why do I feel that Director Chen is actually not satisfied with your acting skills, so he wants you to continue to hone your skills on the drama stage or in literary films."
In an instant, all the smiles on Yang Mi's face disappeared.
After thinking for a long time, she shook her head slightly: "The flowering period of an actress is very short. Take advantage of the great opportunity now. If you don't make money quickly, you will have no chance in the future."
Zeng Jia promptly reminded: "Mimi, after the end of this year, your contract with Feiyinghuang Agency will expire."
"Ok, I know."
Yang Mi nodded and moved her eyes to the phone.
The complete script of "Tiny Times" has been released.
Guo Jingming plans to shoot four movies and turn them into a series of movies. As long as Yang Mi nods, she will be the absolute heroine.
At this moment, her eyes gradually became firm, and she already had a decision in her heart!
…
The flight to Los Angeles is at around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Liu Yifei left first and went home to see her mother.
Chen Fei originally wanted to go back to the courtyard to check on the old man's physical condition, but after calling him, he discovered that the old man had actually signed up for a tour group and went to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
"You are really very nimble. Are there any old ladies in the tour group? Please help me, it's best to have another twilight love..."
"Dudududu!"
The old man put down the phone and obviously didn't want to talk to him for a second longer.
"Hey? This old man?"
Chen Fei shook his head helplessly and ordered directly to the driver: "Go directly to the company. There is no need to go back to the courtyard. There is no one there."
The car quickly drove to the underground garage of Feiyue Film and Television Building. Chen Fei got on the elevator and went straight to the digital special effects department.
After the script of "The Martian" was reviewed, the preliminary preparations officially began.
The space agency and the Aerospace Science and Technology Group are very cooperative, and all technical assistance and personnel support project teams are in place.
And with the success of "Gravity" as a warning, the film bureau gave the green light, and all support was put in place at an extremely fast speed.
Guo Fan is now following the professional researchers from the Institute of Geology to find a suitable filming base.
According to his description, the researchers from the institute took him to the "Hongya Danxia Landform".
After careful inspection, he planned to build a studio there for framing and shooting.
Chen Fei specifically checked the topographic map of the Hongya Danxia landform online, and then suddenly discovered that wasn't the first domestic Mars simulation base built here in his previous life?
Without thinking much, he approved Guo Fan's decision.
All funds have now been raised, the construction of the studio has also started, and the space agency's special team has also been put in place.
According to what Guo Fan said on the phone, he plans to officially return to start the casting process after the construction of the studio is 1/3 complete.
The construction of the Mars base is a big project, including living cabins, work cabins, Mars rovers, exploration vehicles, space capsules, space stations, etc., all of which need to be designed and manufactured at a 1:1 ratio.
Guo Fan has put more energy into these, and the choice of actors is not important to him.
If it doesn't work, he can just fool Chen Fei over...
This kind of super science fiction blockbuster, according to the usual style of Feiyue Film and Television, must be distributed globally.
And among these mainland actors, who can be as well-known as Chen Fei in terms of international fame?
Chen Long's international fame is quite high, but he is too old and is no longer suitable for acting in science fiction movies such as "The Martian".
...
When he came to the special effects studio, Chen Fei looked around and could clearly see that most people were very focused on doing some preliminary modeling work on "The Martian".
In addition, some people were working on external projects.
After a round of inspection, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a computer in the corner.
When he got closer, his eyes lit up.
"Which company submitted this project?"
The technician was stunned by his question, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "This is a project submitted by Shanghai Gaoge Culture, which is a special effects scene in a love and idol TV series."
Hearing this, Chen Fei looked at the upper right corner of the computer screen, where a line of small words was marked:
"The Battle of the Forbidden City!"
Who would have thought that the special effects in a TV series could easily crush many later theater movies!
Wei Zheng is quite good at playing, and "Love Apartment" was played by him.
"Okay, do your thing."
Chen Fei turned and left the special effects department, and turned around and walked into the animation department.
As soon as he pushed the door and walked in, his eyes were attracted by an LED display on the wall.
At this time, the display screen was marked with a line of words: "Journey to the West: Hero is Back, total box office 968 million!"
"Director Chen, why are you here?"
When the voice of greeting sounded, Chen Fei looked sideways and saw Yang Yu coming over quickly.
He pointed at the LED display screen with a smile and asked, "Did you make this?"
"Yes." Yang Yu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Every day I see that number rising, I always feel full of energy!"
Chen Fei nodded silently. This method can be promoted.
Just make a big screen and put it in the lobby on the first floor of the company. Put all the movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television on it, and mark the box office results behind it...
If the senior executives or partners of other film and television agencies come in and see this screen, their momentum will be suppressed on the spot!
After touring the animation department and checking the preparation progress of "Big Fish and Begonia", Chen Fei went directly to Su Guohai and expressed his ideas.
LED big screen?
All the movies produced by the company and the real-time box office results?
After listening to Chen Fei's request, Su Guohai didn't think much about it and nodded directly: "No problem, I'll ask the logistics department to do it later."
After a few words, Su Guohai seemed to think of something, took out an invitation letter from the bottom of the office drawer and handed it to Chen Fei.
"This is sent by Huang Xiaoming's staff."
"What is it?"
Chen Fei took it and took a look, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Invitation letter for Yang Ying Studio's press conference?
"Hey? This couple? Are you planning to develop in the capital field?"
The organizer of the press conference was also marked in the lower right corner of the invitation letter, which was Huayi Company and Huang Xiaoming Studio!
Chen Fei thought carefully. Since her debut, this "Huayi No. 1 Sister", who was a model and then switched to an actor, seems to have no representative works worthy of praise.
But her status has risen very quickly, as if she was on a roller coaster.
"It's really hard to promote!" He couldn't help but sigh.
Su Guohai couldn't help laughing: "When I saw the name 'Yang Ying', I thought of the scene where she acted opposite Liu Dehua. It seemed that Brother Hua was completely stunned at that time."
"Hahaha!"
Chen Fei couldn't hold back any more.
When he met Liu Dehua by chance before, Chen Fei had asked him about this matter.
At that time, Liu Dehua's laughter was even uglier than crying: "After so many years in the industry, this is the first time I have seen such an incompetent actress who can't even do a simple crying scene. It's really... Now, all kinds of monsters can be actors!"
Brother Hua should be considered to have a good temper in the whole circle, but when he mentioned this matter, he still couldn't suppress his anger and depression.
"I won't go to the press conference. I have to catch a plane in the evening. If you want to join in the fun, go there in person. If you don't want to go, just send someone to show up."
If it was Huang Xiaoming's own studio press conference, Chen Fei might have given him some face.
But forget about Yang Ying.
…
After leaving the company, Chen Fei wanted to pick up Liu Yifei and Liu's mother, have a meal together, and then go to the airport.
But what he didn't expect was that Yang Shoucheng suddenly called.
"Yuan Heping, Mai Baochan, Hui Yinghong, are you jointly asking for help from Zhen Zixuan?"
"Yes." Yang Shoucheng responded on the other end of the phone: "They hope to find a suitable time to sit down and talk. Since "Ip Man 3" has been filmed, there is no reason not to let it be released."
"Huh?" Chen Fei sneered: "I have the final say whether the movies I invest in will be released or not. When will it be the turn of outsiders to dictate?
When I want to give them face, I can respectfully call them teacher, but now I don’t want to give them face and let them stay somewhere to cool down.
Tell them my exact words. The "Ip Man" series will definitely not be released in theaters in the next few years. Even if it is to be released later, the leading actor will have to be re-cast and re-filmed before being released. "
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
What were you doing so early?
What impact will it have if you don’t consider taking sides?
It's not a bad thing now. After being targeted, I will show weakness, beg for mercy, and regret...
Do you really think there is a regret medicine in this world that you can take?
