Chapter 620: It’s Time to Show Your Cards. You’re Going to Play the Role of Zuo Shandiao. Are You Going to Trick My Daughter or My Father?

"Why does this name sound weird?"

Chen Fei murmured in his mouth, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the title "Legend of White Ghost: Escape" has the potential to be a "bad movie".

Liu Yifei shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure, but according to Uncle Chen, this story was originally set as an Italian-style western action/adventure film, which took place in Northumberland, England. It was originally titled "A "Ode to Ken", involving Viking warriors.

The scene of the script was originally set in the desolate and gloomy United Kingdom, but the producer Jeremy Bolt finally changed the background of Akon (Jacob)'s journey from Europe in the Dark Ages to the ancient East. What else can he say about Eastern and Western cultures? The collision can add new excitement to this project..."

Upon hearing this, Fei Chen felt his scalp numb!

Foreign directors make movies with a Chinese background, and they also involve "history", something that requires a deep cultural understanding to express...

Is there any difference between this and director Xiangjiang making a Chinese-language historical blockbuster?

He subconsciously opened the first page of the project book, and when he saw the name Nicolas Cage, he immediately closed the script.

No matter how awesome the investors are or how loud the slogans are, the appearance of Nicolas Cage is destined to have a 90% chance that it will be a bad movie!

Isn't it the same type of movie with an oriental background written by Hollywood? "The King of Kung Fu" that was criticized by countless netizens?

Moreover, Nicolas Cage has been completely unscrupulous in recent years because he owes a large amount of debt. As long as he is given money, no matter what the subject of the movie is, he will follow it without hesitation.

This also causes the movies starring him to be extremely variable. Usually 9 out of 10 movies are flops.

According to Liu Yifei's current celebrity status, there is no need to praise his stinky feet.

"Superbody", "Dallas Buyers Club", "Interstellar", "The Martian"...

Her current resources are among the best in the world. There is no need to lower her own worth and bet on whether a movie can be successful.

However, Chen Fei would not jump to conclusions immediately. After thinking about it, he calculated the time difference and called Natasha: "Are you busy now?"

Natasha on the other end of the phone responded: "I'm not busy. I'm shopping. What can I do for you?"

Chen Fei said directly: "Then you can help me find out about a project called "The Legend of White Ghost: Escape", which is invested by Max Films."

"Ok, I'll call you back in ten minutes."

There are no secrets in a place like Hollywood, and Volton Pictures currently has extremely broad sources of information, so Natasha found out the information without wasting much effort.

When the call came back, Chen Fei immediately pressed the answer button.

"I heard about it. The director is Nick Powell, who directed "The Bourne Supremacy". The producer is Jeremy Bolt of the "Resident Evil" series. The starring roles include Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christen. Sen and others, the lineup is pretty good.”

Chen Fei listened silently and did not interrupt her.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Natasha continue: "Only this script was written by an unknown screenwriter, and the entire project was also the kind of project that had been shelved for a long time.

According to the information I heard, the film studio is probably planning to make a co-production to make money from the partner. This kind of thing is often done in Hollywood..."

The partners are defrauded of their money and the risks are borne by the partners. This is completely different from what Harvey Weinstein once did.

Chen Fei silently turned to look at Liu Yifei. He believed that this girl should be able to understand what Natasha said on the phone.

This was purely to defraud someone who had taken advantage of him, and perhaps the purpose of dragging Liu Yifei along was just to defraud him of more money.

Miss Liu is just innocent, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

After hearing these words, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called her mother.

Liu Yifei's character is actually a bit indecisive, but Liu Xiaoli is different. She once said in front of the media, "I will only live for my daughter for the rest of my life."

Chen Fei did not go over to listen to the conversation between mother and daughter, because he believed that Liu Xiaoli would handle this kind of thing, just like he did with Tang Dynasty and Hua Yi.

"Ok, I understand, thank you for your help."

After finally saying goodbye to Natasha, Chen Fei was ready to hang up the phone.

But at this moment, Natasha's reminder sounded on the phone again: "Fei, the movie "Man of Steel" co-produced by Warner and DC has been released."

"Oh?" Chen Fei was quite surprised: "How are the results?"

The top executives at Warner Bros. are really capable of doing things. Seeing that Marvel is getting better and better, they can’t wait to move DC out and prepare to seize the market.

The previous "Green Lantern" almost "buried" them, so much so that DC went silent for two years!

In order to boost the box office and reputation of "Man of Steel", they specially invited Christopher Nolan, the director of the "Batman" series, to serve as the screenwriter and producer, which can be considered a great painstaking effort.

"Not bad." Natasha blurted out a series of figures: "The first-day box office was US$44.01 million, and the first three-day weekend was US$116 million.

Although there is still a big gap compared to our "Iron Man", according to the website ratings, this movie is considered a success. "

After hearing these words, Chen Fei was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Nolan is really strong!"

Although Chen Fei has not personally observed Nolan's working methods, it seems that it took a lot of effort to save Warner's mess.

"Will DC catch up?" Natasha asked worriedly.

If Marvel is the only company that dominates, then it goes without saying, but once competitors come forward, it will inevitably have an impact on the former.

This is obviously something that Natasha, the entire Marvel system, and Walt Disney Studios don't want to see.

"Haha." Chen Fei didn't panic at all, his tone was full of relaxation: "The success of one or two movies is nothing. DC also has a huge comic universe. Just wait and see. It's not easy to revitalize the entire DC universe. So easy."

"Okay, I will keep an eye on their movements."

Natasha responded and quickly hung up the phone.

Just at this time, Liu Yifei also ended the call with her mother: "It's done, my mother said, she will find reasons to reject her, and she also told me not to drown in the muddy water, just do what I want to do."

The sadness on her face has faded, and Miss Liu is smiling brightly and charmingly again.

For girls who grow up surrounded by love, their worries usually disappear quickly.

…

After arriving in Shanghai, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei saw the people sent by Ren Zhonglun as soon as they walked out of the airport.

In fact, there are staff members from Feiyue Film and Television here in the Magic City. However, Mr. Ren strongly requested to entertain him in person. Chen Fei could not shirk it and had no choice but to agree.

After arriving at the hotel, wine and food were already prepared.

In addition to Ren Zhonglun, there were Wang Changtian, Han Sanping, Ye Ning and others in the box, as well as several leaders from Xiying, Ningying and Changying.

Obviously, this is a business bureau.

Liu Yifei was also one of the invitees, but she didn't stay long. After toasting to everyone present, she excused herself to take a rest and left.

Everyone smiled tacitly and watched her leave the box.

Although it was rude to leave early, as long as Chen Fei sat here, absolutely no one would say anything.

Times have changed. The walk-on player at the beginning has now become a hot and top boss in the industry. Not to mention other people, even Han Sanping has to give face!

You know, Chen Fei's development route is not just domestic, his current focus is more towards Hollywood.

That is the most coveted "holy land" in the domestic film and television industry. As long as there is some pursuit, who wouldn't miss Hollywood?

It happened to be Chen Fei's home stadium. If anyone wanted to go out for a "saunter", only by boarding his big ship could the situation be calm.

Under such circumstances, not to mention simply giving face, it is normal to flatter someone with a coy face!

"Haha, I wish Director Chen the best in advance for winning the Golden Goblet Award."

The big bosses held him in high esteem, and the wine was poured out one after another, without even giving him a chance to have a bite to eat.

Chen Fei could tell that these guys must have made an appointment in advance and wanted to get him drunk.

However, they overestimate their physical abilities.

At the end of the meal, except Han Sanping who still maintained some sense, everyone else was already unconscious.

A group of assistants waiting outside the box quickly came in, each helping their boss back to his room to rest.

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival. These people in the box all have to attend. If they can't get up in the morning, it will be a big deal!

When he finally walked out of the box, Chen Fei tilted his head and looked at Han Sanping: "Director Han, want to go to your room to have a chat?"

"Okay, let's go. I just happened to bring some good tea. Let's drink and chat to relieve the hangover."

This meal of wine had obviously made the third master happy, and he looked rosy and energetic.

The two entered the room one after another, and while waiting for the water to heat up, they casually chatted about some news unknown to outsiders.

"I have already started handing over the work. If you have any difficulties in the near future, please let me know in advance. While I am still on duty at the end, I can shine for you."

Chen Fei did not answer the question, but asked: "After you retire, do you have any other plans?"

Han Sanping pondered for a while and replied: "In the short term, I will probably continue to work at China Film Film Corporation as a director. I haven't decided what to do next."

What you want is this sentence!

Chen Fei smiled slightly, opened his handbag, took out a script from it and handed it to Han Sanping.

"This is a script I created for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Most of the content is adapted from real events."

Han Sanping was quite surprised, obviously she didn't expect Chen Fei to suddenly come up with a script.

After reaching out to take it, his eyes fell on the cover of the script.

The four words "Battle of One Hundred Regiments" are so dazzling and shining!

Without thinking too much, he directly opened the script and read the relevant content in it.

The script tells the story of the most difficult period of the world's anti-fascist battlefield in 1940. Our party leaders were deeply worried about the future and destiny of the country, and decided to step forward at this time, vowing to break the rhetoric of national subjugation and surrender, and to fight for the world's anti-fascist Injecting hope into the battlefield, we must deliver a blow to the Japanese troops who invaded our country...

After spending more than half an hour reading the script, Han Sanping's eyes even filled with tears.

That era was really not easy!

The reason why the Chinese people are able to live such a stable and happy life now is all because of the blood and fearless spirit of our ancestors!

"Okay, this script is really good. When I get back, I will personally send it to the film bureau to make sure it passes the review."

Looking at Han Sanping's current state, Chen Fei was ready to continue to fuel his anger.

"Director Han, since you are ready to step down, you should have a lot of free time. How about I leave this script to you to direct?"

"Um?!"

Han Sanping was overjoyed at first, but soon a deep doubt appeared on her face: "No! Why do I feel like you have other plans? You sent me a script and asked me to be the director. What do you want to do?" Bribe me?"

"Hey, how can you not!" Chen Fei said with a smile: "I just want to ask you to play a role, I have no other plans."

"Do you need to give me a script when you ask me to play a role?" Han Sanping obviously didn't believe his nonsense.

"This role is a bit special. I was afraid that you would reject it, so I offered you the benefits first."

"Special?" Han Sanping frowned slightly: "What's so special? Could it be that he is a villain?"

Chen Fei blinked and expressed his acquiescence.

Han Sanping rolled her eyes: "What's the point? I'm not one of those little fresh meat, and I still have the baggage of an idol. I just play a villain, and there's nothing..."

"Yes... he is the villain in "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Mind"."

As soon as she finished speaking, the words in Han Sanping's mouth were instantly stuck, and the room fell into dead silence.

A sneer suddenly sounded: "Haha, the villain of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"? Could it be that he is a mountain eagle?"

Chen Fei quickly cheered: "Hey! Director Han's mind changes so quickly!"

"Quick ass!"

Han Sanping stretched out her hand and cut off the power of the teapot neatly. She stood up and walked to the bathroom. At the end, she did not forget to say: "Close the door when you leave."

"Ah?!" Fade Chen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously blurted out: "Hey! No, are you acting or not?"

Han Sanping yelled: "I'm acting like shit!"

"No, it's just a mountain eagle. I don't think it's a big deal. With such a high status, do you still care about the evaluation of the outside world?

This is actually an opportunity. Just think of it as a joke. As you approach retirement, you can still leave a reputation for being informal to the outside world. How great!

And I am confident that we can definitely push the box office of this movie to more than 1 billion. By then, you will be the first 1 billion box office villain in the history of Chinese movies. You will have a character, a good reputation, and results. How great... …”

Chen Fei was talking seriously, but what greeted him was the bathroom door being closed mercilessly.

Hearing the sound of water running from the bathroom, he blinked, somewhat confused as to what Han Sanping was thinking.

Judging from his attitude, he is obviously very resistant to playing the role of "Mountain Eagle".

But judging from the fact that he firmly grasped the script of "One Hundred Regiments" and took it directly into the bathroom, he didn't seem to be so resistant.

Scratching his head and feeling a little puzzled, Chen Fei turned and left Han Sanping's room.

It was still early, so he was not in a hurry, just take his time.

He was ready to fight hard. As long as Han Sanping didn't resist too fiercely, it meant there was great hope.

At this time, in the bathroom, hearing the sound of the door locking outside, Han Sanping turned off the shower, opened the door and walked out.

After confirming that Chen Fei had left, he lowered his head and glanced at the script of "One Hundred Regiments" in his hand, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:

"This kid, he is deliberately trying to mess with me!"

At this moment, Han Sanping suddenly recalled the scene when he found Chen Fei and asked to invest in the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia".

At that time, Chen Fei made a request to him, saying that he would have a guest role in the future.

If nothing else, this kid was already making up his mind at that moment.

"A mountain eagle? Damn it! What kind of bullshit role is this? I won't play it!"

He clutched the script in his hand tightly.

He doesn't want to act in the role, and he doesn't plan to return the script, so it will be treated as a retirement gift from Chen Fei.

…

Time soon came to the opening ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival.

More than 400 domestic and foreign filmmakers appeared on the red carpet, creating the most star-studded "Oriental Oscar Night" of the year!

The entire film festival will last for 9 days and officially ends on the evening of the 23rd.

On the red carpet, Chen Fei met many familiar stars, actors, and entertainers, the most of whom were mainland actors, followed closely by those from Xiangjiang and Wanwan, and many people from Hollywood also came.

The famous movie star Jessica Chastain made a surprise appearance as the main creative member of the screening film "The Killing of Bin Laden". Keanu Reeves, Mok Wenwei, and Chen Hu, the three main creators of "Man of Tai Chi" also triggered the scene. Bursts of screams...

This year’s Shanghai Film Festival can be said to be star-studded and dazzling.

What surprised Chen Fei the most was that he actually saw Han Sanping's daughter Han Jia'v on the red carpet!

She came here with Ning Hao as the deputy director of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" crew.

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

I heard that the third master dotes on his eldest daughter, why not ask Han Jianu to help and lobby for her together?

Just when Chen Fei was secretly thinking about how to talk to Han Jianu, something unexpected happened.

After seeing Chen Fei, Han Jianu came over with a happy face and greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother, congratulations, you actually won the Golden Palm and Cannes Best Actor! It's really amazing!"

Chen Fei smiled, glanced at Han Sanping who was communicating with others in the distance, and asked in a low voice: "The second part of "Ghost Blowing Light" will not start shooting for a few months. What are you busy with recently?"

Hearing this, Han Jianu's expression became a little decadent.

She sighed and muttered: "Alas, my father conscripted me and arranged for me to do odd jobs in Teacher Jiang Wen's new movie. I was asked to do dirty and tiring work all day long. It's really annoying."

This tone is indeed from his own daughter!

"Is it particularly boring over there?" Chen Fei coaxed slowly.

Han Jianu nodded slightly: "Well, a bunch of old men are discussing the script all day long. The film will start shooting in a while, but they haven't decided on the outline yet!"

"Then how about... you come to my place to play for a few days?"

"Hmm?!" Han Jianu asked with great interest: "Brother, are you going to start a new play?"

"Yes, the script has been reviewed and will be officially announced tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Okay! Then when can I join the crew?"

"Don't you need to say hello to Mr. Han?"

"No, this is the crew you are directing. Will he refuse to let me learn from you, the Golden Palm director?"

"That's true." Chen Fei nodded and confirmed again: "Have you thought about it? If you are sure, I will let the company issue a notice tomorrow morning."

Han Jianu responded without hesitation: "I have thought about it, I have thought about it."

Her idea is very simple. With her father behind her, can Chen Fei still cheat her, a little Karami?

However, what she didn't know was that the person Chen Fei wanted to trick was not her, but the "old Karami" standing behind her.
