Chapter 656 Hey? Protecting the Food? How Dare This Guy!
There is no National Day Golden Week in Hollywood, so except for "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Wolverine 2", there are no blockbusters worthy of attention in October.
After Chen Fei and Liu Yifei selected for a long time, they simply went to see the movie "Despicable Me 2" produced by Universal Pictures.
The story of the ultimate showdown between the Minion and the Purple Man is quite interesting.
Chen Fei also heard that Deng Chao was chosen as the dubbing actor for the Mandarin version. Thinking about this guy's comedy talent, he would probably surprise the domestic audience.
…
After more than 20 days, while leading the entire National Day schedule, "Ip Man 3" unsurprisingly exceeded the 1 billion box office.
Because of the "Zhao Zhen Controversy", "Special Identity" naturally became the object of comparison.
The former exceeded 300 million in the first three days of the weekend, while the latter only had a measly 60 million.
Once compared, the verdict will be drawn!
Donnie Yen seems to be unwilling to give up and is still working hard to promote "Special Identity". While praising the excellence of "Special Identity", he also said that the "Ip Man" series was completely popularized by him, otherwise it would not be like this. Excellent box office results.
He is trying very hard to maintain his worth and status, but unfortunately, under the influence of many bad movies, his behavior is completely useless.
On the other hand, after more than 20 days of hard work, "The Dragon King of God" also successfully exceeded 550 million at the box office.
Wang Zhonglei felt quite proud and shouted in front of the media: "There are still nearly 10 days until "The Dragon King" is released, and our goal is a box office of 700 million!"
Obviously, Huayi is preparing to break the "690 million" curse created by "Earthquake" in one go.
Although "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has already exceeded 690 million, it is the product of the cooperation between Huayi and Xinghui after all, and is not exclusively produced by them.
And "The Dragon King of God" happens to be a work exclusively produced by Huayi. If the box office can reach 700 million, this curse will be officially broken.
…
After finishing the pile of work at hand, Chen Fei appeared on the filming set of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay".
The cast and crew are still familiar ones, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson...these are all actors selected by Chen Fei himself.
Of course, the main reason why he appeared here today was for Wen Ziren.
According to Natasha, this guy is completely obsessed. Not only does he have food and accommodation on the set, he even occasionally shoots continuously during the day and night.
The actors have begun to complain, and some have even reported it to the Screen Actors Guild.
The union has already issued notices and fines. If this situation continues to happen, it is very likely that the crew will stop filming.
Hollywood is different from China. The Screen Actors Guild is very powerful here. Whenever an actor is treated unfairly on the set, the union will definitely take action as soon as possible.
When he saw Wen Ziren, Chen Fei was immediately frightened by his dark circles and thick bags under his eyes.
"How many days have you been up? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?"
"Fei, you're here."
After weakly responding, Wen Ziren looked at the script in his hand and fell into deep thought again.
Chen Fei tried his best to soften his tone and asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties? I heard that you have stayed up several late nights?"
"call!"
After heaving a sigh of relief, Wen Ziren said with some trepidation: "I am worried about how to film the scene that exposes the hypocritical face of the female president.
If the content of the script is followed, the hypocritical face of the female president will deceive many people, and even until her death, some people may still love and worship her..."
Listening to Wen Ziren's words, Chen Fei quickly focused on the script.
The two discussed this plot for a long time. Finally, Chen Fei made a suggestion: "Why don't you exaggerate the scene of Katniss's sister's death? Tear beautiful things into pieces for the audience to see and make them feel. The hidden sins about the female president will definitely make movie fans feel the same..."
Half an hour passed by in a flash, and when the conversation between the two ended, the doubts and sorrow lingering in Wen Ziren's brows and eyes had disappeared.
"Fei! Thank you very much for your guidance. I understand how to proceed with the next shooting!"
For Wen Ziren, Chen Fei's guidance felt like an "enlightenment".
This nearly two-hour conversation not only solved many of the difficulties in shooting, but also designed a very perfect and happy ending.
For a time, James Wan's shooting confidence soared!
Chen Fei smiled at him and said: "As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but the bystanders know clearly. Sometimes, as long as you put yourself in someone else's shoes, many problems can be solved easily.
And in my opinion, it is also very important to keep a clear mind at all times. Your current state is too bad, and you cannot make a movie well under such circumstances..."
After a lot of lies and coaxing, Wen Ziren finally left the set and prepared to go home and have a good rest.
The rest of the crew have also been very tired recently. Chen Fei simply gave all the crew a day off so that they could go back and have a good rest and adjust their condition.
When he announced this decision, there was a burst of warm cheers!
Several young actresses even rushed forward excitedly, intending to give him a kiss.
However, under the threat of Liu Yifei's eyes, they quickly regained their composure and did not dare to move forward.
On the way back in the car, Chen Fei joked with a smile: "I didn't expect that you are quite fierce. Those young actors were so stared at by you that they didn't dare to come over."
"Hmph!" Liu Yifei bared her teeth, pretending to be 'vicious', and snorted coldly: "They don't even look in the mirror. A bunch of crooked melons dare to rob me. It's a shame for them. !”
"Hahahahaha!"
Chen Fei couldn't help laughing.
This girl actually protected "food".
But at this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly said solemnly: "I am not the kind of ignorant person, and I will not stop you from going out to socialize and contact other women, but you must promise me to stay away from those unscrupulous people." As a woman, good health is the most important thing. I don’t want to go to the Mayo Clinic anymore. I don’t like that place at all.”
At this moment, the smile on Chen Fei's face suddenly solidified.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the girl leaning on his shoulder, feeling inexplicably touched in his heart.
Stretching out his right hand, he went around and hugged her shoulders. Chen Fei responded softly: "Okay! I promise you!"
Although she looks naive, she is not stupid.
Although Chen Fei has not had any scandals with any female stars or actresses in China, there are constant romances in Hollywood.
Before the two got together, Liu Yifei had heard and even seen various scandals between Chen Fei and European and American stars in many entertainment reports.
She knew exactly what she should do. Now that she had taken action, the "main palace" must be hers!
Judging from Chen Fei's response, her little idea was very successful.
This night is destined to be another sleepless night.
In a daze, Chen Fei even had the illusion that he was an animal?
"Sissi, it's already three o'clock in the morning, how about... let's take a break first? I have other work tomorrow."
“Isn’t the puppy barking ‘woof’?”
Chen Fei: "..."
"I said, aren't you tired?"
"It's not bad. I feel like I've gained weight recently. I can just use 'exercise' to lose weight, and I can sleep until the afternoon tomorrow."
"..."
At this moment, Chen Fei finally understood the donkey in the production team when he was a child.
No wonder it was listless every day, and even lost interest after meeting other little female donkeys. It turned out to be too tired!
…
Chen Fei's work in the morning was directly postponed to the next day. He thought to himself that he had to recover his energy first, otherwise it would be difficult to concentrate on the subsequent work.
However, when he woke up, it was already past one in the afternoon.
The moment he opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked to his side.
The fragrance was still lingering on the pillow, but the person was gone.
After putting on his pajamas, Chen Fei walked out of the bedroom and immediately saw Liu Yifei who was practicing in the practice room with a long sword.
Seeing her energetic and good-looking appearance, and feeling his somewhat exhausted waist, Chen Fei suddenly fell silent.
Is this a guy who is just trying to do something stupid? Just this one at home is enough trouble!
If this happens every night, I'm afraid I will have to continue to add "system" attributes.
Turning around and walking into the bathroom, after washing up, Chen Fei called Liu Yifei and went to the restaurant together.
The chef has already prepared lunch. Looking around, there are all kinds of oysters and abalones on the table. Even the porridge is made with wolfberry.
"Try it quickly. I asked my aunt to make this specially."
Miss Liu smiled very brightly, but for some reason, Chen Fei felt that there was a "bone-eroding knife" hidden in her smile!
While eating, Chen Fei turned on the computer habitually.
It is already late at night in China, but there are still many night owls discussing a topic on Weibo.
After taking a look, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that Yang Zai had actually made a comeback with his Juli Pictures, which was about to close down!
I think back then, because of "The Legend of White Snake", Juli Pictures not only offended Li Lianlian, but even "crippled" Huang Shengyi.
That once-famous star girl might have been kicked out of the entertainment industry if she hadn't been lucky enough to find Zhao Benshan as her godfather.
Now, what is shocking is that when Yang Zai was promoting the new female artist signed by Juli Pictures, the title he used was "Little Huang Shengyi"!
This operation not only amused people in the industry, but even confused netizens.
Looking back at the beginning of the school year at Nortel last month, there were a lot of "Little Fan Bingbing", "Little Zhang Ziyi", "Little Liu Yifei" and even "Little Yang Mi" popping up in the circle.
But what the hell is this horse-riding "Little Huang Shengyi"?
What shocked Chen Fei even more was that with his flat figure and angular face that was obviously plastic surgery, he was actually marketed as the "Nortel School Beauty"!
"What the hell??? How dare this guy do this???"
Chen Fei was thinking about Yang Zai's thoughts while scrolling through the replies from netizens.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what this guy wanted to do?
Are you still trying to be the school beauty of Nortel?
At this stage, how dare you, a little Karami from Juli Pictures, to market such a name? Is it because you don’t offend enough people?
A newcomer doesn't even understand the principle of shooting first, how does he get around?
…
It was agreed that it would only take two days, but Huo Qigang really did not run out of time!
As soon as night fell in North America, a call from the other side of the ocean came to Chen Fei.
"After some internal discussions and deliberations, the Film Guild finally decided to remove Xiang Huaqiang as the president and directly voted on site to elect a new president.
"Transformers 4" has been successfully launched, and all the young and Dangerous boys who caused trouble on the set have been arrested. Those who deserve trial will be tried and those who should be sentenced will not be tolerated! "
Chen Fei was very surprised: "Huh? It's quite rare! The film union moved so quickly this time? Who is the new president? It's very energetic, and it can actually solve the problem in such a short period of time."
"I."
"who?"
"I!"
"What the fuck?!" Chen Fei suddenly became happy: "You are a good boy, but you actually picked the peach for me."
"Hehe." Huo Qigang smirked: "The development direction that the old man originally prepared for me was culture. Jiahe Pictures gave me a lot of help. I actually found such an opportunity this time. Of course I have to seize it. ”
Chen Fei asked curiously: "Doesn't that mean that the future development direction of Xiangjiang's film and television industry will be decided by you?"
Huo Qigang explained: "I am just the president of the film union, and I don't have such exaggerated energy, but I will try my best to guide the Hong Kong film and television industry to the right path..."
After chatting for more than half an hour, the two ended the call.
At this moment, Chen Fei felt a little regretful for no reason.
He really wanted to see how Xiang Huaqiang looked now, but unfortunately, he was currently in Hollywood and had no chance.
…
"Crack!!!"
In the huge office, porcelain was falling everywhere.
Xiang Huaqiang stood behind the desk, his chest heaving violently, and his expression was unusually wonderful.
In just a short moment, anger, shock, fear, doubt and other expressions appeared on his face one after another, just like the face-changing trick in an opera.
He really couldn't figure out why his position as president of the film union was removed in just two days!
And what frightened him the most was that he didn't know all the details during this period.
He just knew that the result was that he was "abandoned" by the film union.
And there’s not even a legitimate reason or explanation!
Of course, this is not the most important thing. What really worries him is that those who went to make trouble on the set of "Transformers 4" seem to be inextricably related to him!
"Get people! Hurry up and pay the bail money to get people! Drive them all to the Philippines or Vietnam. If not, they can go to Neon or Singapore. Don't let me stay here and continue to cause trouble!"
Xiang Huaqiang angrily called the manager responsible for communicating with the "Young and Dangerous" business and asked him to handle the matter quickly.
What age are we in now, and still engaging in such low-level methods as collecting protection fees is simply boring!
"Boss, I have already contacted the police station. This matter has a huge impact. The bail amount is not a small amount."
Xiang Huaqiang looked very ugly: "So what do you mean? Don't worry about them? Let those guys who only have muscles and no brains talk nonsense in there?"
"I'll make arrangements right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Huaqiang contacted Xiang Huasheng, who was in charge of the small film business at Neon, and said straight to the point: "The company needs money now, a lot of money."
"I understand, I will return the money as soon as possible."
After Xiang Huasheng responded, he hung up the phone.
He was on the small movie set without any hesitation. After taking his eyes away from the two actors "fighting" on the bed, he directly called for the manager of Neon's branch.
"I need working capital, I need to open more film studios, I need more actors and outside business, as well as related film dealers."
After hearing these words, the manager showed a tangled expression on his face: "Mr. Xiang, what you said will take a long time to achieve.
Just the relevant application procedures are an insurmountable hurdle, and the review here is very strict. There must be no flaws in the mosaic in the later stage, otherwise it will not pass the review at all..."
Xiang Huasheng's expression was gloomy: "Then there is no need for formalities, no mosaics, and we go directly to the black market. Wouldn't the benefits be higher? Wouldn't the progress be faster?"
"But once discovered..."
Before the manager could finish speaking, a rather crazy smile suddenly appeared on Xiang Huasheng's face.
He directly interrupted the manager and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Haven't you heard a saying? The bold will be starved to death, the coward will be starved to death, and the greedy will starve to death.
If you want to make quick money, how can you do it without taking risks? "
