Chapter 599: Defeat the God of Death! The Counterattack Officially Begins! When Facing "Magic", You Must Use "Magic"
"Fade Chen is awake!"
A sudden piece of news spread from the Mayo Clinic, quickly spreading throughout North America and even around the world!
No one expected that after being in a coma for a week, facing the fatal crisis of being shot in the chest, Fade Chen actually managed to escape from the scythe of death.
A video was directly released on the official website of Volton Pictures.
In the picture, although Fade Chen's face was very pale and his lips were bloodless, his eyes were blinking constantly.
From this small action, it can be seen that he has escaped from the life crisis and entered the recovery period.
For a time, cheers rang out all over the world, and media reports were overwhelming.
Fade Chen updated his Weibo and Twitter accounts. Although there were only four short words "Be well, don't miss me", it was on the hot search headlines at the first time.
In the comment area below, all kinds of exclamations filled the screen:
"Fuck! Fei Ge is awesome! His physical fitness is simply amazing!"
"Wow, he was shot in the chest and abdomen, and was submerged in water for a while, but he was still alive. Is he a pure iron man?"
"What's going on? Black and White Impermanence can't beat him?"
"Oh! My God! Fei successfully defeated the God of Death!"
"Hahaha, great, I hope he can recover as soon as possible, I still want to continue watching the subsequent extreme sports challenges."
...
Cannes, Carlton Regent Hotel.
When Harvey saw the news online for the first time, he was completely stunned.
He saw the video of Chen Fei being rescued that day clearly. Judging from the injury, death was just a matter of late or early.
But he never expected that he was actually saved!
This also means that the killer he hired for millions of dollars did not play any role at all, but instead took the opportunity to make Chen Fei gain a wave of popularity.
"Fuck!"
The angry roar echoed in the room, and several vases used as decoration were smashed to pieces by Harvey, but it still couldn't make him eliminate the anger in his heart.
He turned around and took out the internal private mobile phone from the safe, ready to call Saullo to question him.
In this situation, he still wants the final payment, and the previous deposit must be returned!
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
He called several times in succession, but it still showed that no one answered.
Harvey didn't care at first, but until the evening, there was still no call or message from the other side, which made him a little surprised.
"What's going on? Why don't these damn Ukrainians answer the phone?"
He already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he turned on the computer, logged into the website in Mexico, and began to search for relevant news.
Looking around, most of the news on the website was about vicious wounding incidents in a certain area, which was not a big news in Mexico at all, and could only be said to be commonplace.
Harvey searched aimlessly, without any hope in his heart.
At this moment, he was more thinking that these people might be doing something, so it was inconvenient to answer the phone.
But soon, a news page that occupied a small space on the website suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked closely and his face suddenly changed drastically!
It was a photo, with four middle-aged men who died in a very miserable way. The worst one even had his hands and feet chopped off!
The faces of these people were very clear, with scars, big beards, bald heads, and faces full of flesh. Each of them was a face that Harvey was very familiar with.
The two parties had cooperated for more than ten years and had met once during this period. Harvey had a good memory, so he remembered all the faces of these four people in his mind.
And now, the four killers died tragically in Mexico!
He could guess without even clicking on the content of the article. This was definitely a murder for hire!
At this moment, Harvey had only one thought in his mind: "Could it be...he found out?!"
High-end business wars often only use the most simple methods, and murder for hire is also one of them.
If he was just hiding in the dark and manipulating, then Harvey would naturally not be afraid.
But if he confronted Chen Fei head-on, then there is no doubt that he would lose miserably!
Until now, he still felt a dull pain in his head, which was the stress reaction caused by Chen Fei using a bottle to open his head.
The lawsuit between the two parties has been going on for almost a year, but he still has not been able to get any compensation from Chen Fei, not even a penny.
The other party's attitude is extremely tough!
"What should I do now?"
Harvey fell into contemplation and entanglement for a while.
He could not verify whether Chen Fei noticed him as the mastermind behind the scenes, or perhaps this was just a typical "coincidence-style" black-eating-black.
But he didn't dare to gamble!
Because if he lost the bet, he would lose his life!
After the contemplation, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and called his assistant directly: "Buy me a plane ticket to Los Angeles, and let my bodyguard team come by the way."
He didn't dare to stay in Cannes any longer, Los Angeles was his base camp.
With his "rich" identity and status, as well as the amount of taxes he pays over the years, it is definitely safer for him to stay in Los Angeles than in Cannes.
That afternoon, the bodyguard team successfully arrived at the Carlton Regent Hotel and protected Harvey as he headed straight to the airport.
In the car, Harvey thought about everything and felt an unknown fire in his heart.
He fought against that yellow-skinned boy from China for several rounds, but without exception, he failed in all of them.
He really couldn't swallow this breath, but there was no good solution for him at the moment, and he had to consider his own safety at the moment.
"Fuck!"
After roaring angrily, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he took out his mobile phone and called his assistant again:
"Call Nicole Kidman. Doesn't she want to fight for the Oscar again? I can give her this opportunity and ask her to wait for me at a hotel near Los Angeles Airport."
The assistant was used to this kind of thing, so he responded and went to contact Nicole Kidman.
At this time, Chen Fei met Natasha and Amy Nott in the VIP ward of the Mayo Clinic.
He said bluntly: "We are going to start fighting back."
Natasha did not speak, but looked at Amy Nott, who had pockmarks on her face and looked harmless but was very sinister.
Chen Fei also turned to look at her.
This white girl has very strong hands-on skills and a high enough IQ. She was the one who handled the whole process when dealing with Da Ben and "Escape from Tehran" before.
Facing the gazes of the two bosses, Amy Nott acted very relaxed.
She said slowly: "Fei, the task you assigned me before went very smoothly. I have already won over no less than 10 people inside and outside the circle who were violated by Harvey.
But the only problem is that they have little confidence. Facing Harvey and the forces behind him, those poor girls cannot guarantee their legal rights at all. "
Chen Fei did not speak, but turned to look at Natasha.
"My side is also progressing very smoothly." Natasha explained in detail: "After the LGBT community broke out completely, the call for protecting women's legitimate rights and interests has also been very high recently. I added a lot of firewood to it, just waiting. It’s officially fermented.”
This is actually quite understandable. After all, those perverts all feel that their gender is women without any "feminine characteristics".
Even though it’s fucked up, social support is extremely high!
Bruce was also one of the victims, and his lawsuit was finally resolved after dragging on for several months.
And the solution is fucked!
In court, Bruce directly used the method given to him by Chen Fei, claiming that his gender was a "Walmart shopping bag", which directly confused the woman who had no female characteristics.
The judge ruled in court that the case of Bruce's elevator violation was not established.
After all, how could being touched by a Walmart shopping bag be considered a physical assault?
"The fire isn't big enough!"
Chen Fei looked at the two people in front of him calmly: "We need to expose Harvey's crimes against those women at the moment when the women's rights movement reaches its highest point, and kill them with one blow!"
Amy Nott responded smoothly: "I need more financial support. As far as I know, there are many unknown women in the circle who have also been assaulted by Harvey."
Chen Fei responded without hesitation: "Of course, you can ask Natasha how much money is needed later."
Natasha added: "I will continue to add fuel and firewood, mobilize my connections, and strive to let the fire burn to the top!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Fei said with a smile on his face: "I wish our plan can be successfully implemented in advance."
The two of them didn't stay here for long. They probably left the ward after having an in-depth chat about the details of the follow-up plan.
At this time, Liu Yifei, who had been sitting on the sofa, came over with a cup of hot tea and handed the cup to him: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Chen Fei looked back at her.
When it comes to influence and popularity, Liu Yifei's current fame is actually not weaker than those of Hollywood's first-line female stars.
After all, several movies in which she played the leading role have achieved great success at the box office and awards, and with the support of Chen Fei, she has many fans in Hollywood.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei said: "At the critical moment, you can follow the slogan."
"What slogan?" Liu Yifei blinked curiously.
"Metoo!"
…
It will take a certain amount of time for the incident to ferment, and it will also take a certain amount of time for the official "recovery and discharge" to occur.
Chen Fei simply set his sights on the mainland for the time being.
Representatives sent by several companies to check on his physical condition had all been sent back by him. Only Huo Qigang entered the ward and stayed for more than half an hour before being sent away.
This guy is so indifferent, and people are so anxious to kiss him, but he is just like a light bulb.
Among the two scripts "Fireworks in the Day" and "Heart of the Burning Sun", Chen Fei finally chose the latter.
Although he is still in Hollywood, this does not delay the crew's preparations. The relevant shooting team building and shooting location selection all fell to Wang Shiliang.
The screening of "Wolf Warrior" has ended, and this kid has nothing to do recently, so he was immediately caught and made into a young man.
As for the "Fireworks in the Day", Chen Fei is going to wait and see how to arrange it later. It's not in a hurry anyway.
In addition, as March is about to enter the middle of March, several popular domestic movies have already undergone new changes.
The application for the postponement of the release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" failed, and the final box office closed at 1.2 billion yuan, only 50 million away from "Your Name"!
And the box office of "Love in Seattle" has ushered in another wave of growth under the condition of being lucky enough to get the extension qualification. Now it has exceeded 450 million, which is very close to 500 million.
Xue Xiaolu, a master of literature and a professor in Beijing Film Academy, has won the support of the mainstream in the circle.
Not only did the official website of Beijing Film Academy give great publicity, but even the Film Association praised her as a benchmark among domestic female directors.
For a time, she was very famous!
At the same time, as the box office of the movie increased, the actors who participated in it also received great help.
Yang Mi's fame and popularity are skyrocketing, and Liu Shishi is completely unable to flatter her, and she can't even see the taillights.
Tangren has been in constant turmoil recently!
When competing for the four little flowers, Cai Yinong announced that she would start the filming of "Step by Step", but suddenly announced that the preparation and filming plan would be suspended in the past two days.
For a time, suspicions were heard in the industry.
Many people actually had a rough answer in their minds. As expected, there should be a conflict between Liu Shishi and Tangren.
The contract between the two parties is about to expire, but there has been no notice of renewal, which is undoubtedly a big blow to Tangren.
And the most important thing is that Hu Ge has also made a series of operations recently.
He publicly announced on Weibo that after the contract expires, he will no longer renew his contract with Tangren, but will continue to cooperate with Tangren in the form of a personal studio.
Compared with the former, the latter undoubtedly has a higher degree of freedom and voice.
At least after this, Hu Ge will not continue to help Tangren promote those new actors.
According to speculation in the industry, Liu Shishi probably also has the idea of leaving.
There may be a broad world if you go out, but if you just stay in Tangren, it is tantamount to sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
The recent blows Cai Yinong has suffered are like the rising tide of the sea, surging up one wave after another!
The top brother and the top sister of the company were both leaving, and the giant Wanda suddenly appeared behind Lin Gengxin, catching her off guard.
The court ruled in the first instance that it supported Lin Gengxin's termination of the contract, which was tantamount to slapping her and Tangren in the face.
But she didn't have any temper at all. Apart from returning Lin Gengxin's contract obediently, she didn't dare to continue to sue.
Having offended Wanda, she didn't know how miserable Tangren's life would be in the future!
"Are you all going to betray me? Good! Go away! Get out of here!"
In the office, Cai Yinong had no solution except to smash things in anger, and her heart was full of powerlessness.
She couldn't restrain Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, and the remaining friendship between the two parties was not enough for them to continue to renew their contracts with Tangren.
She had no choice but to let go.
...
While browsing Weibo, Douban, Tieba and other platforms, Chen Fei also saw the box office results of "Hidden in the Dust".
Domestic audiences have given great support to this film, which won an award in Berlin and was written by Chen Fei.
On the day of its release, the first-day box office closed at 14.39 million, successfully crushing the "Kung Fu Comedy" directed by Wang Jing at the same time.
The latter only had a box office of 8.87 million on the first day. As a commercial film, it actually had a box office of 6 million less than that of an art film. It's embarrassing to think about it.
What made Wang Jing blush was that the reviews of the two films were completely polarized.
As for Hidden in the Dust, almost all the comments online are positive:
"The film has such a strong staying power that I suddenly have some doubts. When you are the only one left, why do you stay in the world? Why do you plant in spring and harvest in autumn? Why do you feel the four seasons? Why do you rush around? Why do you look forward to the dawn?"
"In Shihao Village, the couple said goodbye, and there were more tears than in the Changsheng Palace. After watching this movie, my heart was so sour that it was unbearable, as if it was filled with the night wind, leaving only bitterness and pain!"
"The whole play does not mention bitterness, but it is bitter to the sky. The whole play does not mention love, but it is love in the bone marrow! Roses cannot grow in the desert of the northwest, but my love for you is like wheat flowers imprinted on the skin. Although it is sad, it has the ordinary romance that belongs to the two of us."
"This is a film worth watching twice or even three times! It deserves the Berlin Film Festival Jury Award!"
Unlike the full-screen positive comments of Hidden in the Dust, the Kung Fu Comedy still continues Wang Jing's style.
"It feels like Wang Jing is here to cheat people in the mainland again. Many of his films are just speculations. He wants to cheat people as much as he can. He lacks sincerity."
"Although there are many funny moments, the plot is just so-so. It feels like the whole movie is supported by those comedy stars. There is no substance at all."
"Give it a 5. Because I didn't expect it, I wasn't disappointed. It's a movie that you don't need to watch specially. There's nothing outstanding about it, but it's not as nonsensical and boring as Wang Jing's previous movies. You can go and watch it if you want to kill time."
"The quality of the movie is really too bad. It's a pity that there are so many celebrities and actors. The jokes in the whole movie are very far-fetched and there is no aftertaste. So is this movie made to cheat people? I think it's better to take it off the screen early to make way for other good movies!"
Looking around, although there are good reviews, those good reviews are mixed with one or two sarcastic remarks, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
And if it is reflected in the box office, it is much worse!
After the first day box office of 8.87 million, the subsequent box office trend has been falling all the way, and it can't be stopped.
The reason is also very simple. There are too many imported blockbusters in March. If you want to break out of so many top blockbusters, you need high quality and high reputation.
But does "The Kung Fu of Laughter Shocks the Martial Arts World" have it?
It has a hammer!
