Chapter 633: A Bad Interview, the Real Crisis of Domestic Films Is Coming!

Han Sanping's mood during the past two days was indeed not very beautiful, so that the filming progress was somewhat affected.

"Tai Ping Wheel" caused a commotion as soon as it started filming, and "Tai Chi Man" made a box office operation of 10 million in three days. The ensuing blows made him very uncomfortable.

Chen Fei couldn't say anything, he could only slow down and let him slowly adjust and adapt.

The filming, which was originally scheduled for more than a week, lasted for 10 days, and then the final scene ushered in.

"Alas!" After putting on makeup, Han Sanping sighed and said a little depressed: "If I had known this was the case, I should have listened to your advice..."

Chen Fei shrugged and said with relief: "People make mistakes and horses make mistakes. This is normal. Who can guarantee that every movie he invests in will be a big success?"

"That's it. After the filming of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is completed, I won't take on other projects in the next few months. I will just finish the last part of the journey safely."

Chen Fei did not answer his words, but started a new topic: "You should have some snacks on that "Hundred Regiments War", I will not get involved in this project, and you will be in control of the whole process."

"Okay, don't worry about this, it's guaranteed."

Han Sanping felt a little embarrassed after delaying her progress for so many days, so naturally she couldn't stretch her hips.

Soon, all the actors were ready, props, cameras, fill lights, etc. were all in place, arriving at the preset positions.

…

The wind on Weihu Mountain was very fast and cold, but it could not conceal the determination of the team members to destroy the bandits.

The first team members skied, flew over the cliff, and pulled up ropes, while others used homemade zip lines across the cliff to reach the reservation.

Of course, this part of the shot must have been shot with special effects. Real-life shots can't express the feeling of tension and urgency.

The one-hour shooting ended quickly, and all members of the team arrived in front of Weihu Village.

At the same time, the mountain eagle played by Han Sanping in the village has put on the lieutenant general uniform sent by the national army. He looks really domineering, somewhat like a general.

In the camera, Yang Zirong, played by Jiang Wen, shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to invite the birthday boy... Third Master..."

The camera turned again, and Han Sanping walked towards her with long strides, her momentum was high, as if she had really become the top of the sky.

The sound of crackling firecrackers exploded on the left and right sides, as if congratulating the third master for his promotion to lieutenant general.

The camera shot of more than 200 extras flashed by, and you could see that there were big fish and meat on the table, as well as good wine and good food. It was quite a spectacle.

Fan Bingbing, who had cut the rope and was about to escape, has been captured and is now hanging in the Weihu Hall. Although she looks haggard, she still has the charm and charm of a young woman.

On the periphery, the team members had already placed explosive packets and rushed into the weapons depot in Weihu Mountain.

"Boom!"

With the sound of explosions, the most exciting war scene in the whole play officially begins.

The sound of guns, screams, shouts... lasted for nearly three hours, and this scene finally came to an end.

In the footage, the mountain eagle took Ma Qinglian and fled into the secret passage, followed by two lucky guys, Seven King Kong and Eight King Kong.

As for the other bandits, they were either killed or captured.

Chen Fei's final method of death for the mountain eagle was not to be imprisoned by prisoners, but to have him be shot and fall off the cliff in a heroic manner.

Although this ending is somewhat different from the original work, it does not hinder the overall story direction.

Although he is a villain, he is a heroic villain. How could such a person take the initiative to surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy?

As the last scene was shot, Chen Fei reached out and grabbed the loudspeaker lying nearby and shouted loudly:

"I announce that "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is officially finished!"

After the words fell, all the leading actors and extras put down their props and shouted loudly:

"It's done!"

"Yeah! It's finally over!"

Nearly two months of filming have now officially come to an end. The hard work and exhaustion of everyone on the crew is undeniable.

At this time, it happened to be bright and clear, and Chen Fei immediately arranged for someone to report the news of the completion of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".

For a time, all the hot search lists on major entertainment websites and Weibo were filled with news about this movie.

"Good news, the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", directed and acted by director Chen Fei and starring Han Sanping, Jiang Wen, Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and others, has officially wrapped up production and is expected to be released during the Lunar New Year."

"The finals banquet will be held in the capital. At that time, the crew will reveal some encounters and wonderful moments during the filming."

"It's still unclear how the finished film will turn out. There were no tours during the filming period, but Chen's work will definitely be a masterpiece!"

…

With the news reports, the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" also began to return.

The flight was around 5 pm. At noon, Chen Fei and Han Sanping met with the local leaders, had a meal and had a brief exchange.

Although the filming of the film is over, there is still a lot of follow-up work that requires local cooperation, such as various publicity activities.

Regarding this win-win situation, the local departments naturally would not refuse, but responded with patting their chests.

Before leaving, one held Chen Fei's hand and said enthusiastically: "Although the filming is over, our friendship will not be interrupted. Mudanjiang always welcomes Director Chen."

If you have other film shooting plans in the future, please ask Director Chen to come over and we will always cooperate..."

The publicity effect brought by a well-known director is no worse than that of a well-known first-line star. Especially since Chen Fei is both an actor and a director, he is simply a favorite in the eyes of tourism bureaus everywhere.

If one day, he suddenly announced that he was going to make a tourism promotional film, various provinces would even be able to take the lead!

In the afternoon, in addition to relevant staff, all the creative team of the crew took the bus to the airport.

Because there were so many people, Chen Fei simply arranged for the company to charter a few planes and directly brought them all back, saving all kinds of troubles in the middle.

When they landed in the capital, as expected, a group of people from the crew were blocked at the airport.

However, because security had been arranged in advance, everyone was not affected and left the airport smoothly through the VIP channel.

"After attending the wrapping party tomorrow, I will prepare to shoot "One Step Away". If you are free, you can come and visit me."

Jiang Wen carelessly chatted about his new movie in the car, and everyone sent congratulations in due course.

Not long after the success of "Let the Bullets Fly", many people felt that his second film "One Step Away" would also be a great success.

Even Jiang Wen himself thought so, which is why he handled everything from investment to production by himself.

At this time, Chen Fei suddenly thought of something and quickly reminded him: "By the way, Director Jiang, I suggest you apply for a will for "Let the Bullets Fly" if you have time."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen and everyone in the car were stunned.

What does it mean to apply for a film to be a World Heritage Site?

"Why? Why apply for World Heritage?" Jiang Wen was also confused.

Chen Fei reminded with a smile: "When you have time, you can go to Youku's second creation section. There are many memes and famous scenes about movies there. The film materials have been used in a large number of second creations and applications, and have even been circulated. to South Korea.”

As soon as he heard the country "South Korea", Jiang Wen's face suddenly became serious.

"You are right, you really need to apply for a legacy, otherwise it is very likely to be snatched away by people from other countries, especially those gangsters..."

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter in the car. Those gangsters were notorious in the country.

Robbery for Li Bai today, Robbery for Qu Yuan tomorrow, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, according to them, all came from their side.

When it comes to shamelessness, "Bangzi" is one of the best in Asia.

Chen Fei has even arranged for someone to apply for the inheritance of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This drama has also been re-created and used by many people on the Youku website. In order to avoid copyright disputes in the future, it is still necessary to take out "insurance" in advance. Just fine.

…

The next morning, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" held a grand closing banquet in the capital, and all the crew and creative staff were present.

Many media and reporters were not invited to the previous launch conference, and visits were not allowed during the filming, which made many people's curiosity about the film reach its peak.

Therefore, at today's closing banquet, almost the entire capital's media was present.

When Chen Fei got out of the car, what he saw was a scene of spears and cannons!

He had already thought that there might be a lot of media reporters, but he didn't expect there to be so many!

Looking around, it was like a huge crowd. A group of security guards were trying hard to maintain order, but they seemed so powerless in front of the surging crowd.

"Here it comes! Look! Director Chen is here!"

As a shout rang out, reporters at the scene swarmed in and blocked Chen Fei by the car door.

Liu Yifei, who was following behind, was originally planning to get off the car, but there was no room under her feet to stand.

Helpless, she could only wait in the car.

The fat and muscular security guards at the scene put up a protective line for Chen Fei so that he could deal with the reporters' interviews.

"Everyone, please be patient. I can answer a few questions first. We will still have time and opportunity when we enter the venue later, so there is no need to crowd in here..."

Chen Fei shouted loudly, barely suppressing the restless atmosphere at the scene.

The reporter from Sixth Princess ran extremely fast and now occupied the first echelon. He took advantage of the situation and asked: "Director Chen, according to the press release issued by China Film, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is actually produced by A combination of theme and commercial, right?”

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded without hesitation.

The reporter asked again: "What do you think about combining the main theme with the commercial film? Can such a film achieve good enough box office results? Recently, a large number of film critics and experts have claimed that the main theme and the commercial film are two completely different styles. , preaching and entertainment are two completely different parallel lines..."

Chen Fei had already expected this.

He smiled and responded: "When I was making science fiction films and establishing a special effects production studio, someone once said that domestic science fiction films could not gain a foothold in the mainland market, but I still made it without hesitation.

And now the facts prove that my idea is correct, which can be seen from the box office results of "Gravity". "

As he said that, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do it. If you don't try bravely, how can you be sure whether it will succeed?

I will leave it here today. Preaching and entertainment can definitely be combined, and I have full confidence that I can do it! "

In many people's minds, it is impossible for a main-theme movie to have high box office unless it has policy support and private events.

This can be seen from "The Great Earthquake" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

And now, Chen Fei suddenly claims that he can put the main theme movie on the high box office list. This is tantamount to protesting against many bricklayers and beasts!

For a time, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more exciting.

Someone else asked: "Director Chen, what is your expectation for the box office of this movie?"

Chen Fei didn't even think about it and said bluntly: "Guaranteed 1 billion!"

After hearing this astronomical figure, the reporters' eyes lit up instantly.

Today’s first important material is freshly released!

…

The closing banquet was very successful. Everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was naturally enjoyable.

It's just that, when it came to the official reporter interview session later, many people were asked directly and were sweating!

These reporters are really stupid. They ask all kinds of pointed questions as if they are free of charge. If you are not careful, they might catch you.

"Yifei, according to director Guo Jingming, he once sent you the script of "Tiny Times" and wanted to invite you to play a role in it, but you were rejected in the end. I don't know why?"

Regarding this kind of problem, Liu Yifei is naturally very familiar with it.

"Because the schedule was not suitable and I had other jobs at the time, I declined."

"So what do you think of the movie "Tiny Times"? Do you think there are factors in this type of movie that have incorrect views?"

When this question came up, Chen Fei, who was being interviewed nearby, secretly broke into a cold sweat for Liu Yifei.

The naughty reporter obviously didn't hold his shit in well and threw out a proposition!

However, Liu Yifei responded quickly enough. She even responded: "Sorry, because I am too busy with filming work, I haven't had time to watch the movie, so I can't answer your question."

"clever!"

Chen Fei silently gave her a thumbs up.

Not only Liu Yifei, but also others have also suffered a series of "propositions".

Someone asked Jiang Wen how he would respond if his second movie failed at the box office.

At the same time, some people questioned Andy Lau, asking him whether he had given up control of the script for the sake of high salary. Otherwise, how could he make a bad movie like "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains"?

Of course, the most acute and exciting question comes from Han Sanping.

"Director Han, what is your mentality and purpose for playing the role of 'Mountain Sculpture'? Director Chen invited you for what reason? During the entire filming period, how did you feel about this role?" What’s your opinion?”

There really are some people who are not afraid of death!

Chen Fei glanced at the reporter's microphone and silently wrote down the name of the newspaper.

Dare to show your face to the "Mountain Eagle", this is no longer ordinary courage!

However, Han Sanping has been a leader for so many years, so naturally she will not lose her image or even break her defense by being asked just a few questions.

He smiled slightly and replied: "I personally support the main theme movies, and it is my unshirkable responsibility to support domestic movies, so of course I will not refuse.

Moreover, this role is quite interesting, and it greatly satisfies my expectations and longing for my career as an actor.

If there are suitable roles and opportunities in the future, I will definitely continue to devote myself to the acting career and strive to bring wonderful performances to fans and movie fans..."

The response was watertight, leaving no chance for reporters on the scene to take advantage of it.

Chen Fei listened on the side with a smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart:

"You were not in this state when you received the role invitation! You started chasing people away on the spot. If I hadn't paid three visits to the thatched cottage, how could I possibly have hired you, a great master?"

…

The interview session lasted for almost an hour before it came to an end.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Fei got into Han Sanping's car and drove towards the outer ring.

"Director Han, you can finally tell me now, right? Who are you going to take me to see?"

In the car, Chen Fei looked at Han Sanping with some doubts and curiosity.

When the banquet just started, Han Sanping found him and asked him not to leave until it was over and to meet someone together.

But who exactly this person was, Han Sanping did not say clearly, but instead started to be confused with him.

By this time, Chen Fei's curiosity had reached its peak, and he already had a vague guess in his mind that needed to be confirmed urgently.

"Young people just can't keep their composure." Han Sanping complained to him first, and then explained: "I will take you to meet the next helmsman of China Film Group, La Geikang."

The car was still moving forward, but silence fell inside the car.

Many memories about this new leader emerged in Chen Fei's mind.

Vice president of China Film Import and Export Branch, deputy director of the head office, general manager of the cooperative production company...

Chen Fei is still very familiar with this person. He is responsible for most of the domestic films imported by Volton Pictures, including the producer of "Pacific Rim".

According to the information he learned, China Film had a large number of deputy directors. This person was able to come to power, and he obviously had his own connections and means.

At this time, Han Sanping in the car suddenly said leisurely: "You have to be prepared first. If nothing unexpected happens, the number of imported films will surge in the next few years, and there will no longer be any domestic film protection month in the future."

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what happened a year ago. He was quite surprised and said: "Didn't you win the lawsuit?"

"The lawsuit was indeed won, but I retired."

Han Sanping shrugged, and his tone was calm, but a little lonely.
