Chapter 638 The Most Classic Whitewashing Combination in the Entertainment Industry!
"Ka! I announce that the movie "Dear" has officially been completed..."
With the cry of Shen'ao, the filming of the anti-trafficking theme film, which took more than two months, finally came to an end.
A group of staff were standing there cheering, and some even prepared fireworks tubes in advance. With the sound of "bang bang bang", the ribbons were flying freely.
Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Zhang Yi and others who had just finished shooting walked towards Chen Fei and greeted him with a smile.
"Director Chen, why are you here suddenly? Are you here to see our Yifei?"
Zhou Xun's mouth didn't know what to say, and he said whatever he wanted, causing the eyes of the people around him to suddenly become complicated.
Especially Huang Bo, that look in his eyes was simply "cheap".
Chen Fei chuckled and joked: "There happens to be a suitable script that I want to introduce to you. Now it seems that I'd better forget it."
"Hey! Don't bother me! I'm wrong, why not!"
Zhou Xun immediately panicked.
A-list actresses like them actually have no shortage of projects. The studio receives a lot of scripts every day, but if you look around, each one is worse than the last!
There are plenty of scripts, but good scripts are hard to come by.
Therefore, choosing the right scripts and projects is a headache for every first-line actress and actor. Once the wrong choice is made, it will lead to an ending similar to Andy Lau and "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
It just so happens that Chen Fei is one of the best in the industry when it comes to project development and script writing.
As long as the projects he introduces, regardless of box office or word-of-mouth, they will definitely occupy a leading position!
Because of this, Zhou Xun panicked.
If a good script is wasted because of your outspokenness, that's the end of it.
"Just one wrong sentence and it's all over?" Chen Fei gave her a stifled look, not feeling any sincerity at all.
Zhou Xun grabbed his arm and said boldly: "I won't say anything anymore. We won't go back until we get drunk at the closing banquet tonight. I will definitely make you satisfied, okay?"
Liu Yifei: "(.)"
Chen Fei had a dark look on his face and hurriedly shook off her hand, urging: "Hurry up and go to your shutdown press conference first. You should wash your mouth, it's too dirty!"
Joking aside, there must be no ambiguity in serious matters.
After the closing banquet in the evening, Chen Fei took out the script and project book of "Red Sorghum" and handed them to Zhou Xun and her agent.
"Although I did not adapt the script, I read it and it was very good. It is adapted from Mo Yan's novel "The Red Sorghum Family", and the film and television rights happen to be in the hands of our company."
Zhou Xun nodded while flipping through the contents.
After more than half an hour, she closed the script, looked at Chen Fei and said, "I play Jiu'er, right?"
"That's right." Chen Fei nodded and replied: "Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who can perform the style of 'Jiu'er'."
"Haha, I love hearing this!"
Zhou Xun smiled brightly, and with his unique cigarette voice, he sounded like a great gentleman.
Chen Fei added: "You can take the script and project book back first. If you are sure you want to act, go directly to the company to find Mr. Su and ask him to take you to sign the contract."
"When will the filming start? I just finished filming a movie, and I want to rest for a few more days."
"It's very early. Except for you, no one else knows about this project. The crew hasn't prepared it yet, and the actors haven't been decided yet. The earliest it will be is more than a month away."
"That's fine." Zhou Xun handed the script to his agent and said generously, "Thanks, I owe you a favor and I'll treat you to a drink if I get the chance."
"I won't drink with you."
Chen Fei rejected her with disgust.
He still remembers that when he was filming "The Wind", on the night of the closing banquet, Zhou Xun drank too much before he could even stop him.
After these girls drank too much, they didn't even sleep. They clamored to compete with Chen Fei in an arm wrestling match, and even said that whoever lost would take off his clothes and run around naked.
That scene was so embarrassing!
"Humph, if you don't want to drink, I won't drink. It also saved me the money for a drink."
Zhou Xun curled his lips, stood up, pulled his manager and walked out without any hesitation.
The two of them are so familiar with each other, so there is no need to engage in such nonsense.
The next morning, news about the completion of "Dear" was posted online.
"The first anti-trafficking themed film "Dear" has officially been completed. It will be directed by director Shen Ao, winner of the Berlin Jury Prize. It will co-starring Zhou Xun, the three-time Golden Horse Award winner, Huang Bo, the Golden Horse winner, and Liu Yifei, the Hollywood Saturn Award winner. The finished film is expected to be Released in 2014."
"At the shutdown press conference, Chen Fei made a surprise appearance and once again confirmed that all box office proceeds from this movie will be donated to the cause of anti-trafficking."
"The second film produced by Liu Yifei has officially been completed..."

In a place like the entertainment industry, there is never a shortage of all kinds of "unbelievable" events.
As soon as Chen Fei returned to the courtyard, he heard a piece of ironic news. There was a "Qigong Master" in the circle!
If you want to say that he is a liar, the key point is that many big stars and business leaders have come to visit him. There are all kinds of photos and related reports on the Internet.
There is even one that is particularly exaggerated!
The master was sitting in the middle of the sofa. On his right was Mr. Ma, a top business tycoon, and on his left was Zhao Yanzi, a well-known female director in the industry.
As soon as this photo appeared, it immediately attracted more people from the industry to visit.
"Old man, you have been practicing Kung Fu for so many years, do you think this thing 'Qigong' is real?"
Chen Fei showed the news to the old man who was doing Tai Chi in the yard for a look.
The old man just glanced at it and said with disdain: "What kind of bullshit is this? A qigong master? Isn't this a pure liar? There is still qi in the body? I think he has flatulence, right?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Chen Fei burst out laughing on the spot. Sure enough, the old man's words were as "to the point" as ever!
"I advise you to stay away from this kind of person and don't be deceived by him. Isn't this the same magic stick who used to go to various villages to deceive people? I even beat one of your grandfather away.
When that man said he had a golden bell and an iron shirt, I slapped him and almost knocked out his appendix, and I just beat him away..."
When talking about the past, the old man was very happy.
"Awesome! So awesome!"
Chen Fei was very happy and immediately applauded.
But the next second, the old man's face suddenly darkened, and the topic suddenly turned to another angle: "Where is my grandson's wife? Why haven't you come to see me these days? Did you two have a quarrel?"
"Hey! No! She has been very busy recently and is working as a producer..."
Before Chen Fei finished his explanation, he was interrupted by the old man: "As a man, can't you take on more responsibilities? Can you do it if you make your girlfriend so tired every day?"
"..."
After being punished, Chen Fei ran away.
"We can't go back to this family. We have to find a great-grandson for the old man as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble..."
With nowhere to go, he called Liu Yifei and asked her to go watch the newly released "Jurassic Park" with her.
Spielberg is still going strong as ever, and he is very good at making this kind of disaster movie.
Although the storyline of the 3D version of "Jurassic Park" is a bit monotonous, the visual effects are very good.
The only pity is that the domestic version once again deleted many exciting and exciting scenes. There are too few bloody scenes that can make people's blood flow, and people who watch it are very confused.
When walking out of the cinema, Liu Yifei seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice: "I remember that Waltons Pictures invested in a theme park in Shanghai?"
"Yes." Chen Fei responded: "The full name is: Ready Player One Dream Theme Park."
"When can we go in and play?"
Liu Yifei was a little excited. She actually really likes going to amusement parks. Unfortunately, because she is a public figure, she can't be too public.
"It's almost time to go play next summer. I'll take you there then."
"Okay! Okay! It's a deal and it won't change for a hundred years!"
"Haha, okay, pull the hook."
…
The release of a movie will inevitably affect the box office performance of the previously released movies.
Such as "Tiny Times 2", after the release of "Jurassic Park", the former's daily new box office dropped directly to 3 million.
"A Romantic Affair" was even more miserable, with daily new additions falling directly to 130,000, and it was canceled early.
On the other hand, "One Night Surprise" is still quite strong, with more than 5 million new additions per day.
The movie "Palace Lock Agarwood" starring Zhou Dongyu and Chen Xiao was a bit miserable, with daily new additions falling directly to 2 million.
What surprised Chen Fei was that there were still more than ten days left in August, and the movie "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven", which will be released in September, actually held a trailer press conference in advance.
As the leading actors, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Donnie Yen immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Speaking of which, these three have been "hot topics" discussed by netizens recently.
After Fan Bingbing participated in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "One Night Surprise" was a great success and received high praise from the industry.
Huang Xiaoming is also the focus of the industry because of his treasure, and the miserable failures of "A Romantic Affair" and "Mader No. 2".
Not to mention Zhen Zizhen, things between him and Zhao Wenzhuo would never stop for three to five years.
Especially the "change of roles" in "Ip Man 3" made the conflicts and topics between the two directly full!
With nothing to do, Chen Fei went to pay attention to the relevant content of this press conference.
Then, he was directly amused by the various tricks of the reporters!
When asking Fan Bingbing, the reporters asked: "How did you film the sex scene with Mr. Han? How did you show so many seductive scenes in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"?"
When questioning Huang Xiaoming, the reporters asked: "Your girlfriend Yang Ying's acting skills have been criticized by many people as poor, and they suggested that she quit the industry and continue to be a model. So what are your thoughts?"
When it comes to Donnie Yen, the problem is even more acute!
"How do you feel about the role change in "Ip Man 3"?"
"It is reported that "Ip Man 3" will be released at the same time as "Special Identity". As the leading actor, martial arts instructor and producer of the movie, are you confident that you can beat the former?"
"Mr. Donnie Yen, you have made a lot of bad movies in the past few years, which has caused your net worth and popularity to plummet. Have you ever reflected on yourself?"
Fortunately, Fan Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming have experienced many battles, so they naturally have their own ways of dealing with these problems.
But Donnie Yen was a little embarrassed.
Even though he said, "This is the press conference for The Legend of the White-Haired Witch. Please ask questions related to the movie as much as possible."
However, the reporters ignored him.
What is The Legend of the White-Haired Witch?
They don't care about these things. They ask questions in any way that attracts attention.
The media's curiosity about gossip far exceeds their attention to the movie itself.
This also led to the fact that after a press conference, the promotion of the movie did not play a big role, but instead exposed the problem of Zhen Zixuan's "poor acting skills".
In front of the camera, facing the questions of reporters, although he tried hard to maintain his demeanor and smile, his expression was uglier than crying, which was really funny.
Chen Fei watched for a while and then turned off the news interface.
The finished films of "Dear" and "The Journey of Flower" have been sent to the editing room. Shen Ao and Liang Shengquan are responsible for following up. Chen Fei will take a walk from time to time to pay attention to the post-production progress of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
According to Dianjing Digital's estimate, the film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will probably be completed in late October.
This gave Chen Fei an opportunity.
That is, this movie can definitely catch up with the Lunar New Year file!
It just so happens that Feiyue Film and Television has no works in the Lunar New Year file this year, and "The Martian" has also been scheduled for the Spring Festival file next year. This "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" can just fill the gap.
However, Chen Fei will certainly not publicize the news so early.
He plans to notify the public after the film is approved, giving other production companies in the circle a big surprise (shock)!
…
With the completion of "The Journey of Flower", the filming of "Day and Night Chase" is naturally coming to an end.
On the 22nd, the crew received news that the filming of the series was officially completed and the TV series was successfully completed!
Chen Fei did not pay much attention to this drama.
In addition to recognizing his own crew, he also recognized Pan Yueming's acting skills.
That afternoon, related news was circulated on the Internet.
"Good news: The suspenseful mystery drama "White Night Chase" produced by Feiyue Film and Television and co-starred by actors Pan Yueming and Wan Qian has officially finished filming!"
"Actor Pan Yueming plays two characters with different personalities, bringing a wonderful and exciting mystery case!"
"It is reported that Youku Video has reached cooperation with "White Night Chase" and "The Journey of Flower" respectively. The two dramas will be premiered on Youku.com, so stay tuned!"
As the news broke out one after another, many people's attention was once again focused on Pan Yueming.
At this moment, many people recalled the incident last year when Pan Yueming was caught in a public opinion crisis but was eventually "rescued" by Feiyinghuang Agency.
However, by coincidence, news reports about Dong Bailian suddenly appeared on the Internet!
"Actor Dong Jie participated in the public welfare project "The Power of Walking" led by Chen Kun in a low-key manner, and was willing to contribute a love to the mountainous areas..."
As we all know, there are three most classic ways to whitewash in the entertainment industry: "Charity, public welfare, and playing the emotional card with children!"
And this Dong Bailian, who seems to be preparing for a comeback, did just that.
Charity, public welfare, and emotional cards, all three moves!
Although she said she wanted to keep a low profile, she did not miss any media interviews, and even participated in the TV series "Beauty Like a Painting" produced by the Zheng Studio.
For a time, the news about her on the Internet gradually increased, and the signal of her comeback was obvious.
However, she chose the wrong time!
It was less than half a year since she divorced Pan Yueming and cheated on Wang Dazhi, and she jumped out so anxiously to make money. This is too ugly.
And it just so happened that Pan Yueming's career had reached a new peak at this time, and it was a time when fans were very cohesive. How could he let Dong Bailian return freely?
For a time, the online scolding became more and more intense!
Dong Bailian had just opened the Weibo comment area, and she was immediately besieged, so she had to close the Weibo comment area again, choosing to be low-key and silent.
Netizens were so angry that they went to Chen Kun and Yu Zheng's studios and asked them why they were helping this shameless white lotus.
At this point, it stands to reason that all three parties should keep a low profile.
But Yu Zheng's studio did not do so.
Taking advantage of the popularity, Yu Zheng announced that in addition to "Beauty Like a Painting", the company will also remake "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!
As soon as this news came out, the entire entertainment industry was boiling!
As we all know, Jin Yong's dramas are very effective in promoting people, especially "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which are the best among them.
Among them, the two produced by Zhang Da Huzi are the most famous.
Hu Jun, Huang Xiaoming, Lin Zhiying, Liu Yifei, Jiang Xin, Shu Chang, Liu Tao...
Looking around, the worst of these people are also second-tier actors.
Especially Miss Liu, with these two dramas, she has accumulated a very thick blood bar for herself, as if it will never be exhausted.
Now, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is about to be remade, and many people in the industry have set their sights on "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl".
Especially the actors below the first line, their eyes are redder than each other, after all, this is the most popular role.
For the audience, it is actually the same, they are also very curious about who will be chosen to play the new "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl".
"Let's make an agreement first. If the labor and management are dissatisfied, I won't show mercy and I'll just start spraying!"
"If you give me another show similar to the one played by South Korean Bangzi, then I will smash your studio!"
"Little Dragon Girl's choice must be beautiful! Do you know? If I choose another village girl Wang Yuyan, you will be in big trouble!"
"Can I make some suggestions? Go choose among those universities with acting departments. There must be beautiful ones."
"Why don't you let Liu Yifei act? By the way, let Chen direct Yang Guo. It will be very eye-catching, haha."
"I think the advice from the guy upstairs is very good!"
