Chapter 604 Where's Your Face? You Don't Care About Your Face Anymore, Right? Fire at the Golden Rooster! Where Is the Murderer?
At the launch conference of the movie "Dear", Liu Yifei's remarks directly triggered a huge heated discussion in the circle.
The box office revenue of the film will be donated to the "anti-trafficking" cause. This news is really amazing!
Chen Fei is the screenwriter, Shen Ao, who just won the Berlin Film Festival Jury Award, is the director, and there are actors such as Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Liu Yifei.
If nothing unexpected happens, the box office of this movie will definitely not be less than 300 million!
Excluding the actors' salaries and investment costs, there will be at least 100 million yuan in revenue.
And then donate all the 100 million to the anti-trafficking cause?
As soon as the news was announced, there was a big fight on Weibo!
"Wow, this is really bold!"
"Open, so open, I'm going to say it here today, after the movie is released, you must buy tickets to support it!"
"Oh, there are so many fools, this is obviously a marketing method, just to cheat you out of your ticket money."
"A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. I don't care whether it is marketing or not. As long as he dares to shout out the slogan of donating all the box office, I am willing to buy tickets to support him."
"A bunch of fools, really believe it! It will definitely be a charity foundation at that time. I am almost sick of this routine."
"Then wait and see, black fans, be careful of being slapped in the face when the time comes!"
There are all kinds of things said on the Internet, all kinds of idiots and water armies are constantly leading the rhythm, trying to guide public opinion to a position that is unfavorable to the crew.
However, their behavior was soon strongly disintegrated.
A piece of news came back from Hollywood.
"According to the Los Angeles Daily News, the North American box office of the film "Dallas Buyers Club" has been invested in the establishment of an AIDS mutual aid association and the development of anti-AIDS drugs. Chen Fei strictly fulfilled his promise at the beginning of the filming of the film."
This news directly turned into a spear and stabbed into the mouths of those black fans.
For a time, those black fans who were frantically guiding public opinion on the Internet were speechless.
You know, the North American box office of "Dallas Buyers Club" is as high as 100 million US dollars, which is more than 600 million yuan when converted into RMB!
Chen Fei took out so much money, let alone a movie "Dear"?
At the same time, Huayi suffered an unprovoked disaster.
For 80 million, they did not hesitate to go to court with Zhou Xingchi, completely tearing their faces, and the two sides never had any contact with each other.
But now, Chen Fei casually donated the future box office revenue of a movie.
Once the two sides were compared, the winner was immediately judged!
Many people in the industry know that Zhou Xingchi will not give up. If he swallows this anger, he will suffocate to death.
What everyone didn't expect was that Xingye actually fought back in a very special way.
When he returned to Hong Kong to be interviewed by Hong Kong media, he publicly stated that his next movie was already on the agenda.
It is worth mentioning that the script of the new movie was written by him during the filming of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
When this news spread, it immediately triggered a heated discussion in the film industry!
Everyone can see clearly that Zhou Xingchi is publicly mocking Huayi: "I lost 80 million, but you lost more than that!"
At the same time, several major companies in the mainland film and television industry publicly expressed their intention to cooperate, hoping to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi.
But to everyone's surprise, Huayi, after stabbing Zhou Xingchi in the back, came over with a smug look on its face and also learned from other companies to invite Xinghui to cooperate.
This look simply refreshed many people's three views, and at the same time ushered in a wave of even greater ridicule!
"Where is your face? Where is your face? Have you really thrown it away completely?"
"Fuck! This is the first time I have seen such a shameless person!"
"Master Xing! Scold them! Fight them hard!"
"Just wait and see, you will definitely regret it one day!"
Seeing the heat of public opinion on the Internet, Wang Zhonglei was very angry and smashed the precious porcelain on the table to pieces!
"Oh, it's really ridiculous. Only one movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a box office of more than 1 billion. I don't know what it will be like in the future.
Regret? There is no such word as regret in Huayi's dictionary. The road is long and the mountains are high. Let's wait and see! Let's wait and see!"
...
With the start of "The Journey of Flower" and "Dear" one after another, Jiang Xuerou finally got out of the work and focused all her attention on "The Journey of Flower" and "Day and Night Chase".
She really had no interest in the latter, after all, suspense crime was not a genre that suited her, so she directly sent a team to help with the preparations.
But the former was different!
Costumes and fairy tales, these things were her favorites!
Especially the style of "costumes", which had always been Zhou Yi's specialty.
Therefore, she was very concerned about the TV series "The Journey of Flower", and she did everything herself, which was very motivated!
The preparations for both TV series went smoothly. Except for Pan Yueming and Zhao Liying, who were personally appointed by Chen Fei, the selection of other actors and directors was decided by Jiang Xuerou.
The first choice was naturally the artists under Feiyinghuang Agency, unless there was really no suitable candidate, they would look for actors from outside.
With the investment qualifications of two TV series, Youku has become famous in the industry recently and has a tendency to become the industry leader.
And this is exactly what Chen Fei wants to see.
So many resources have been invested in it. If there is no effect at all, wouldn't it be a waste of his energy?
…
Needless to say, Huang Xiaoming still has two skills.
When the careers of the other three of the four young ladies were flourishing and their popularity remained high, he actually lifted Yang Ying up.
This morning, Yu Zheng Studio announced: "Our new drama "The Song of Romance in the Clouds" is in preparation. We are very honored to invite Yang Ying, one of the four young actors, to grow with us!"
Yang Ying Studio responded immediately: "Fans and friends, please wait and see. I will never let you down."
As a middleman, Huang Xiaoming will naturally not keep a low profile.
He also posted a message on Weibo to congratulate his girlfriend for winning the role: "In terms of costume dramas, Yang Ying has extremely high acting talent and emotional catharsis. I believe she will not disappoint everyone."
These awesome companies boast loudly, but in view of Yang Ying's many saucy tricks in the past, netizens don't really buy it.
You know, this "Song in the Clouds" is the second in the "Han Love" series written by Tong Hua.
And the first one was "The Ballad of the Desert" which was invested and filmed by Tang Dynasty but could never pass the review!
Perhaps in order to avoid a situation similar to "The Ballad of the Desert" from happening again, regarding the adaptation of "Song in the Clouds", Tonghua said in an interview with the media:
"I have communicated with the film and television company and director Yu Zheng to ensure that the main story line and main characters will not be changed, and I will try my best to respect the original work."
Yu Zheng himself also spoke out and said: "In fact, there are not many historical events in the original work. What the audience wants to see is love.
And in order to avoid uncertainty about historical figures, the TV series version also modified the plot and deleted some historical figures.
For example, Yunge's father is no longer Huo Qubing, and there are no scenes with characters such as Mrs. Gou Yi and Zhao Ponu. Even the characters of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Huo Guang have been adjusted to some extent.
We will try our best to retain the most exciting parts of the original novel, and slightly adjust other parts to ensure that it meets market demand and the requirements of the General Administration. "
This wave of speeches by both parties won the support of many fans of the original work and gave many people sufficient confidence.
However, the Tang people were put on the fire and roasted!
The second film "Song in the Clouds" has been reviewed and preparations have begun, but the first film "The Ballad of the Desert" is still stuck by the General Administration and cannot pass review. This is very embarrassing.
"The review must be completed as soon as possible. If it continues to be delayed, the problem will only get worse."
Cai Yinong was sitting in the office, watching the news about "Song in the Clouds" on the Internet, and secretly made up her mind.
She had never been able to find a suitable opportunity before, but as the Shanghai International Film Festival approached, she had heard some rumors.
The vice chairman of the organizing committee of this year's Magic City International Film Festival is the one in charge of reviewing TV series. Isn't this the opportunity she has been waiting for?
It just so happens that Liu Shishi's contract with Tang Ren will officially end at the end of June. Let's take advantage of this opportunity and let her shine for the company one last time!
…
There are many thick-skinned people, but the organizer of the Golden Rooster is definitely the thickest and most shameless person Chen Fei has ever seen!
Perhaps seeing the good reputation of "Into the Dust" and "The Chaser", the organizers of the Golden Rooster sent out invitations with great fanfare, hoping that the producers of these two films could sign up to participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards selection. .
The remarks there really disgusted Chen Fei:
“Nowadays, more and more domestic films are going international and stepping onto a new big stage. This is something worth celebrating.
What is sad is that these films no longer seem to pay attention to domestic voices, completely forgetting the support they received in the past, and abandoning the high hopes of those old-timers..."
This behavior is tantamount to putting Feiyue Film and Television on the fire, hoping to coerce Chinese-language films to participate in the selection of the Golden Rooster Awards by "selling feelings" and "pretending to be pitiful."
Chen Fei was immediately laughed out of anger. The operations of these old guys were getting more and more dirty!
But it has to be admitted that many filmmakers have been coerced into it.
Just like Feng Xiaogang.
Last year, "1942" missed out on the Golden Horse Awards due to competition for spots in the Olympics, and ultimately lost to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". At that time, Feng Dapao even complained a lot online.
This year, he immediately signed up to be a judge for the Golden Rooster Awards for "1942" and seemed to have forgotten the backstab he suffered in "Earthquake."
After finally producing a masterpiece with a high reputation, Feng Dapao was so proud that he vowed to the media that this time he would definitely receive high-quality awards that could prove him!
Immediately afterwards, various "institutional" films, including "Search", started their registration plans with threats.
Even those co-produced movies from the Mainland and Hong Kong have come to join in the fun. You know, these are the favorites of Golden Rooster, and they can often win good awards and generous bonuses.
Subsequently, the eyes of people inside and outside the industry, as well as the media, were all focused on Feiyue Film and Television and Chen Fei.
Among these literary films in the first half of the year, the only one that deserves the most attention and discussion is "Into the Dust."
Everyone wants to know whether Feiyue Film and Television will be coerced into participating in the Golden Rooster Awards this time.
They were all insiders, and they looked down without looking up. Everyone thought that Chen Fei would choose to give face this time.
After all, he didn't make this movie, so it would be fine if he didn't come in person when the time comes.
However, Chen Fei didn't show any mercy to Jin Rooster!
After "borrowing" to film a long scene about homosexuality in "Heart of the Burning Sun", he went directly to Weibo and used his big size to shoot hard at the Golden Rooster Award!
"As a judge of awards, if we cannot truly achieve the most basic fairness, justice and openness, then please don't mess with it. I'm very busy, thank you."
As soon as this statement was published, it was directly pushed to the top of the hot search list!
You know, this response was posted by Chen Fei on his own account with more than 20 million fans, and its influence is simply terrifying!
Reporters from these domestic media outlets are like crazy, scrambling to report to the outside world:
"Director Chen Fei bluntly stated that the Golden Rooster Awards cannot achieve the most basic fairness, justice and openness."
"The Golden Rooster was slapped in the face, and "Into the Dust" refused to participate in the selection of the Golden Rooster Award."
"After all these years, someone finally dares to tell the truth for once!"
Long before, Feng Xiaogang had criticized the Golden Rooster Award, which directly triggered a heated discussion in the circle.
In the end, the bureau personally intervened, and Feng Dapao took the initiative to delete Weibo.
But this time, Chen Fei also jumped out and fired the second shot!
So, how will the Golden Rooster Awards respond?
Chen Fei didn't pay attention to the voices from the outside world at all. He posted on Weibo and made it clear that he asked the other party not to interfere, and then continued to devote himself to the filming.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have received a mediation call by now.
But Chen Fei didn't.
Someone greeted Han Sanping, hoping that he could come forward to solve the problem.
But they forgot that the third master was a staunch "supporter of Fei". It was already good that he didn't stand behind Chen Fei and scold Jin Ji together.
Still mediate?
Adjust the chicken!
This time, even the bureau didn't say anything, seeming to have acquiesced to Chen Fei's remarks.
His current face and status are simply terrifying!
Two days later, people in the industry suddenly discovered that Chen Fei's Weibo was still there, but on the other hand, the Golden Rooster Awards had retracted those previous remarks and suddenly became a low-key group.
For a moment, there was an exclamation in the circle:
"There is no other director who can achieve Chen Fei's level!"
"Damn it, this is really cool! Even if you don't give the Golden Rooster any face, you actually slap the opponent a few times in return!"
"Director Chen is now regarded as a god who can kill a god in the world, and a Buddha who can stand in the way of a Buddha!"
"I believe that from now on, no award ceremony in China will dare to take advantage of his popularity. After all, he really dares to confront you, and he is the kind who won't save you any face!"
"The Golden Rooster Award is a big deal this time, haha, it's really fun."
…
The time of April is gradually approaching the middle of April, and "Anti-Drug", co-produced by Feiyue Film and Television and Golden Harvest, is promoting in the mainland.
As a producer, Huo Qigang also came to the capital.
After taking some free time, he rushed to the set of "Scorching Sun" and came to visit Chen Fei's class.
As soon as he saw him, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to make a joke: "Hey? Why did you come to the mainland suddenly? Where is my sister-in-law? Why didn't you see me?"
"She's at home and didn't come with her this time."
Chen Fei smiled: "I read the Hong Kong media reports before, but I don't know whether they are true or false?"
"Really, three months."
"Tsk! Cow!"
Chen Fei silently gave him a thumbs up, and the diving queen had completely fallen into the hands of this boy.
Seeing the staff on the set setting up the scene, Huo Qigang asked casually: "Is your movie almost finished? Let's go out for a meal tonight?"
"Okay, I'll take you to eat private food." Chen Fei responded and casually replied: "This is the last scene today. You will stay on the set for a while. When I finish filming, we will leave together."
"good."
Huo Qigang took a small bench from his assistant and sat directly behind Chen Fei.
Soon, under the command of the on-site executive assistant director, props, actors, cameras, etc. were all in place.
"Action!"
Following Chen Fei's order, Wang Yanhui, who was specially invited by him to participate in the guest appearance, instantly entered the scene and began to confess the numerous crimes he had committed.
On the interrogation chair, he spoke in a very calm tone about the very cruel process:
"As soon as I went upstairs, I saw a naked woman lying on the ground. Xin Xiaofeng was beating this girl to death, and the old man and woman were yelling and screaming. Alas, there was no other way, so he beat them to death.
I just happened to see that kind of wooden cube on the wall, so I used that to do it. Oh, in fact, they couldn't do it. They didn't dare to do it. It was me who did it..."
In the clip of more than two minutes, except for Wang Yanhui, the only voice on the scene was the voice of the interrogator. Therefore, everyone at the scene felt as if they were listening to the criminal's monologue.
Until the moment Chen Fei shouted "cut", although they knew that the whole movie had officially finished shooting, the scene was still silent. No one dared to raise their hands to applaud, and they couldn't even breathe deeply!
Huo Qigang swallowed his saliva, leaned close to Chen Fei's ear and whispered: "It's just a movie, is it necessary to make such a big deal? You actually found a murderer?"
"Huh?"
Chen Fei turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
Murderer?
Where is the murderer?
