Chapter 659 Seeking Cooperation? China Film Group’s Attitude Changes. Wu Yu’s Ship Has Problems Again!

Chapter 659 Seeking cooperation? China Film's attitude changed...Wu Yu's ship had another problem!

When he saw the news that "The Breakup Master" was finalized, Chen Fei fell into a brief daze uncontrollably.

From the start of filming to the completion of filming, it only took a month to complete the filming, and it was actually announced that it was completed!

Online, relevant media reports have been released.

"Exclusively produced by Enlight Pictures, the comedy film "The Breakup Master" written, directed and starred by Deng Chao, with Yang Mi as the heroine, has officially been completed after a month of filming!"

"At the shutdown press conference, Deng Chao said that he would follow up the entire process and strive to meet the audience and fans before May Day next year."

"Yang Mi's schedule is extremely tight. After the completion of "The Breakup Master", she took advantage of the opportunity to enter the promotional road show of "The Big Four 2"..."

Chen Fei seems to have predicted the scene after "The Breakup Master" is released.

The box office performance has been rising, but the reputation has been declining, and it has even been criticized to the point of shame.

The work of a new director was filmed in just one month, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge in terms of film quality.

But then I thought about it, this should be in line with Yang Mi's requirements.

The progress is fast enough, the money is coming in quickly, and it is a big-screen work...

Some people in the industry are already calling her the "Desperate Sanniang". Since the establishment of Jiaxing, she has barely had a day off.

Looking around, she was either filming on a certain crew or at an event, with no downtime at all.

Yang Mi's current status is simply that of the bosses' favorite wage earner, and that's what Zeng Jia definitely thinks anyway.

…

At the press conference of the movie "The Storm", Chen Fei officially realized the charm of 3D.

A police film by Ta Ma was actually branded as 3D, and it was so gaudy.

Film producer Jiang Zhiqiang even shouted a slogan in front of the media, saying: ""The Storm" will be the first 3D police action movie in China. We strive to present the most stunning scene in the story and pictures..."

As a guest invited by Liu Dehua, Chen Fei will naturally not be left out.

Director Yuan Jinglin walked up to him with a wine glass and said with a wry smile: "Director Chen, please show mercy when the time comes!"

"The Storm" is scheduled to be released on the 12th, only one day ahead of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", which is destined to form a direct competitive relationship between the two movies.

"Director Yuan is joking."

Chen Fei had a drink with him and said a few casual words.

At this time, Liu Dehua and Jiang Zhiqiang, who came down from the stage, came towards Chen Fei to greet him.

When he saw the two people approaching, Yuan Jinglin wisely went elsewhere.

Before Jiang Zhiqiang could get closer, he greeted him from afar: "Director Chen is here, it's hard to welcome him from afar!"

"Mr. Jiang, you're fine."

Chen Fei raised his glass slightly towards the boss of Xiangjiang Anle Film Co., Ltd. and smiled back.

This 60-year-old veteran is very well-known in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He is one of the producers of films such as "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Lust, Caution", etc. Very strong in production capabilities.

If nothing else, this is the person Liu Dehua will introduce this time.

After a few pleasantries, the other party directly proposed the idea of ​​​​cooperating once in the future if there is an opportunity: "Anle Films has unique conditions in overseas distribution channels. I hope Mr. Chen can consider it..."

"Well, okay, if there is a chance, I will contact Mr. Jiang."

Chen Fei said polite words, but he didn't have any intention of cooperation in his heart.

It is enough to have Yinghuang and Jiahe over in Xiangjiang. Even Media Asia has gradually lost contact with them, let alone other companies.

Anle Film does have strong funds and strength in overseas distribution, but Chen Fei does not lack these.

He has no shortage of capable partners. China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, and Enlight are enough.

Any thing or condition he wants, the above partners can provide him, there is no need to bring in another company.

Looking at Jiang Zhiqiang's leaving figure, Andy Lau suddenly sighed: "The film and television industry in Hong Kong is getting more and more difficult."

Chen Fei smiled and said nothing, but he replied in his heart: "The future will only be more difficult!"

Internet companies have begun to enter the market in large numbers. Mainland China wants money and resources, so why bother begging others in a lowly manner?

…

After leaving "The Storm", Chen Fei stopped by the Beijing Film Studio to check on the filming progress of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2".

Ning Hao is becoming more and more experienced in making commercial films. The crew's set was well organized and the filming progress was steady and smooth.

"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon? If not, let's have a meal together tonight?"

Listening to Ning Hao's words, Chen Fei asked curiously: "Is there something serious? Or just have a meal?"

Ning Hao said casually: "We just happened to meet each other. I just went home to have a meal. I asked your sister Na to buy some seafood or something."

"Tomorrow, I'll call Yifei on tomorrow night." Chen Fei said as he stood up from the horse: "I'm going to go to China Film Academy in the afternoon. There are two projects that haven't moved. I'll go over and see what they are. Condition."

"Okay, then tomorrow, remember! Don't stand me up."

After staying in the crew of "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2" for less than an hour, Chen Fei ran away.

After arriving at China Film, he forcibly suppressed the urge to go straight to La Beikang's office, and went to the reception first.

Han Sanping had already left, and he couldn't continue to be presumptuous at China Film in the future.

"Hello, is Director La here?"

"Director Chen?! Please wait, I'll go ask."

Although the person at the reception desk had changed, he didn't put on airs when facing Chen Fei, and quickly put down the work at hand and walked towards La Beikang's office.

After a while, Chen Fei successfully entered the chairman's office.

While Chen Fei and the assistant were there, La Beikang specifically reminded: "Next time Director Chen comes, there is no need to inform him specifically. As long as there are no outsiders in my office, just bring him in directly."

"Okay, Director La."

The assistant responded and left the office quickly.

Chen Fei took the opportunity to look around this familiar yet unfamiliar office, and inexplicably felt that things had changed.

When Han Sanping was here, this place looked much cleaner and neater, and after Lapeikang took over, there were suddenly two more bookshelves here, giving people a very elegant feeling.

"Come, sit down."

Lapeikang did not carry the bookshelf, but enthusiastically led Chen Fei to the sofa, and even personally poured him a glass of water.

From the time he entered the door until now, both the inside and the outside were well taken care of.

"What's the matter with you coming here today?" Lapeikang smiled kindly, looking at Chen Fei with a hint of curiosity.

Chen Fei didn't like to play tricks, so he just said directly: "Boss La, I came here mainly to ask about "Pacific Rim 2" and "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter".

The company said that they have sent the script, but they haven't received any feedback. Is there any problem?"

"Oh! You mean those two projects!"

La Beikang showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face: "I have received the project. The company has specially held two seminars for this purpose. It has been confirmed that there are no problems.

It's just that it's approaching the end of the year, and I have just handed over my work. There are a lot of trivial things on my hands, and I haven't dealt with them for a while.

The two projects are actually very important to China Film. I thought that after I arrange all the work on hand, I will follow up in person..."

Follow up in person?

When Chen Fei heard these four words, his heart moved immediately.

He tentatively agreed: "That's good, as long as the project itself is fine, I will say hello to Lucasfilm later, and the project will be officially launched in the spring of next year, how about it?"

"Okay, then next year! Haha, I will follow up in person to ensure that there are no problems."

La Beikang made the decision directly.

Afterwards, the two had a series of discussions on the two upcoming movies "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "The Martian".

Chen Fei could clearly perceive that La Beikang was more interested in "The Martian".

"Science fiction movies are good! Big investment movies can not only bring high box office, but also be very beneficial to the development of theaters and related industries..."

After chatting for a whole afternoon, both parties had a deep understanding of each other and had a great time talking.

Before leaving, La Beikang specially sent Chen Fei to the door of the office, and warmly invited him to visit China Film more often if he had time in the future.

Chen Fei did not refuse the new chairman of China Film, who was extremely fond of "science fiction movies".

Building a good relationship with him will also be beneficial to the future development of Feiyue Film and Television.

Science fiction films are destined to be one of the company's important projects in the future. This is also a way to demonstrate the strength of a large company, and it must be taken seriously.

…

The next day, Chen Fei suddenly saw a piece of news on the way to the company.

The filming of "The Crossing" was suspended again. The actors of the crew took a long vacation directly. Wu Yu even flew from Hong Kong to China Film and did not come out for the whole morning.

"This Wu Yu is getting more and more outrageous. The investment budget of 400 million is not enough for him to spend. He has seriously overspent again..."

Han Sanping came to Feiyue Film and Television early in the morning and complained to Chen Fei.

"You have retired, why do you still care about these?"

Chen Fei laughed and teased that Wu Yu was already a "habitual offender". He had made trouble twice during the filming of "Red Cliff". It was normal for this situation to happen in "The Crossing".

"You don't have to care about it, but what he did is just slapping me in the face!"

Han Sanping was very angry. After all, this was his project before retirement. Now that such a thing happened, he was ashamed.

Chen Fei advised: "It has already happened. It's useless for you to be angry now. Just look at it."

He didn't let Han Sanping continue to be angry, but extended the topic to "The Hundred Regiments Offensive".

Sanye quickly put Wu Yu, the scumbag, behind his mind and said excitedly: "I plan to start filming after the New Year. Now the crew has almost prepared, and several main actors have been found. When the time comes, remember to come and play a cameo role for me, and let me take advantage of your popularity..."

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Fei agreed immediately.

The filming of "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" is not easy. So many people need to be dispatched, which is destined to be a very long filming period for this movie.

Although he will be very busy next year, he should have time to play a cameo role.

……

From October 17 to November 7, a full 20 days, "Special Identity" received a total of 146 million box office results, and then officially ushered in the time of being withdrawn from the screen.

The theater chain directly forced the withdrawal of the film, and Xingguang Canlan had no opinion on this.

The daily new box office has dropped to 230,000. If it is not withdrawn, wouldn't it be a pure shame to hang it there?

The industry has given Zhen Zixuan the name of "box office poison", but he himself did not admit it, but kept scolding those media, and even went to court, claiming that the other party violated his reputation and portrait rights.

The crew of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" chose to unconditionally support Zhen Zixuan in defending his rights.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, it has been set up now. If the leading actor of his own movie does not defend it, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting in disguise that his movie is a bad movie?

...

In his spare time, Chen Fei made a special trip to Longxiang Aerospace Technology Company.

With the successful application for registration of the company, the construction of the institute has been completed halfway. In addition to some construction workers, there are also many researchers debugging the research equipment bought from abroad at a high price.

The director of the institute is Bu Qingxiang, who used to work at NASA and also lost the high-paying job because of the FBI's loyalty investigation.

However, as the old saying goes, there is no way out when the mountains are high and the waters are deep, but there is always a way out.

After leaving NASA and encountering many setbacks, he was lucky to meet Chen Fei and was successfully rehired in China.

After leaving his hometown for so many years, there is actually nothing to miss in North America. After confirming the job and related salary, he directly returned to China with his family and settled down in the capital.

"Mr. Chen, come to think of it, we actually met once before."

Bu Qingxiang's sudden words made Chen Fei immediately curious, and he subconsciously asked: "Why don't I remember where I saw you?"

"Do you still remember the space parachute challenge you completed before?"

"I remember." Chen Fei's heart moved: "That space capsule..."

Bu Qingxiang nodded and smiled: "Yes, the space capsule you took at that time was made by the team members under my leadership."

"Haha, I didn't expect that there is such a connection between us."

Back then, Chen Fei didn't trust what NASA made, and specifically asked Flory to find a private aerospace research institute to check the quality of the space capsule and the integrity of various functions inside and out.

Until the end, when he was sure that there was no problem, he entered the space capsule with confidence and completed the world-renowned space parachute challenge.

Never expected that this space capsule was made by Bu Qingxiang's team!

"Please pay more attention to the institute. If you need anything, you can contact me or Zhou Shouzi. After the infrastructure and equipment are completed, I will arrange the corresponding project research catalog for you."

"Okay." Bu Qingxiang responded first, and then asked tentatively: "Before joining the company, I heard that our future research direction is about aerospace and satellites. I wonder what our expected goals are?"

Chen Fei pondered for a moment and replied: "Manned space flight, landing on the moon, building a satellite network that is better than Starlink, and even working hard to restore the scenes in science fiction!"

...

Here, Chen Fei had just left the Longxiang Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute under construction, and suddenly saw several new hot searches on the Internet.

"Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age, directed by Guo Jingming, a new first-line Chinese commercial film director, has officially started filming. All the original cast members, including Yang Mi, Guo Caijie, Ke Zhendong, Chen Xuedong, and Guo Biting, have officially returned, without a single person absent."

"It is reported that Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age and Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul will still adopt the set shooting mode, and both films will be shot in one cycle."

"Director Guo Jingming said that the two films will be launched next year and the year after. In addition, he also said that after the Tiny Times series is completed, it will bring a bigger surprise to movie fans!"

Guo Xiaosi obviously bought the hot search, and many media are reporting news related to him, and they are all from a positive perspective.

However, netizens are not so friendly. The comment area under the relevant reports is full of boos and scolding.

Some people even went to the Film Bureau to report that Tiny Times destroyed the world view and conveyed a bad atmosphere, and suggested banning the film.

For a time, there was another wave of smoke and miasma on the Internet.

At the same time, Chen Fei also noticed a very "interesting" situation.

In the third and fourth parts of Tiny Times, in addition to the previous investors, LeTV and Alibaba also appeared!

Obviously, these two companies are also ready to get a share of the pie.

...

In the evening, at Ning Hao's invitation, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei appeared at his house together.

Xing Aina's cooking skills are quite good, and the large table of dishes are delicious.

Liu Yifei, a girl who has never touched the water, actually came to Xing Aina tonight, and learned cooking skills from her meticulously, and even fried a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Facing the expectant eyes, Chen Fei really couldn't bear to say the three words "not delicious", so he could only give a reluctant evaluation:

"Not bad, very delicious, very tasty, you are born to be a chef, you can cook such a delicious dish for the first time, it's really rare."

Miss Liu became happier and happier as she listened, her heart was simply filled with joy.

"Since you think it's so delicious, how about I cook it for you every day in the future?"

Chen Fei: "(Д)! (_)!"
