Chapter 696: Celebrities Are Just Stupid and Rich! A New Project that Is Very Dangerous!

"Director Chen, I heard that you are very interested in investment recently and have made a lot of investments in the industry, right? What a coincidence. We at LeTV Pictures are preparing to launch an investment acceptance plan for the entire film and television industry in the second half of the year. .

We are well aware of your outstanding contribution to the film and television industry, Director Chen. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity today to sincerely ask if LeTV Pictures is lucky enough to attract your further investment attention to jointly promote the inheritance and development of the film and television industry?

To this end, we are willing to send you a formal invitation for cooperation and look forward to working with you to create brilliance..."

As soon as Jia Yueting came up, he put his face directly in front of him and opened his mouth. Before Chen Fei could say anything, he muttered a lot of words.

I have to say, this guy is really sharp-tongued!

Well, it was okay for him to fool other people, but he was not that good at fooling Chen Fei.

Facing Jia Yueting, whose eyes were extremely sincere, Chen Fei smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry, I don't pay much attention to film and television investment projects anymore. Feiyue Film and Television is enough."

He has no interest at all in the glory of LeTV and Jia Yueting's ambitions.

What's more, Chen Fei's investments seem to be numerous, but he strives to be steady at every step. He doesn't want to let years of hard work go to waste just because of a momentary impulse.

LeTV's current data is indeed very beautiful. It seems that the future prospects are infinite, but it cannot tempt Chen Fei at all.

For Internet companies, this seemingly beautiful thing often has big pitfalls inside!

And even if he can use the time difference to get money from LeTV, this thing is really bad.

Chen Fei didn't want to be pointed at his spine and scolded as a dog capitalist in the future.

Faced with his rejection, Jia Yueting had a trace of astonishment on his face.

He obviously didn't expect that the ppt words he prepared in advance failed to impress Chen Fei at all, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.

At this time, Zhang Yimou frowned slightly on the side, as if he was lost in some kind of thinking.

Jia Yueting didn't want to give up yet, so he fought hard and said: "Mr. Chen, you may not know about LeTV Pictures. Our current production level is the best in the industry..."

"Mr. Jia!" Chen Fei's voice suddenly rose a little higher: "If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. And I also know about LeTV. The term "top of the industry" is not just mentioned casually. The current LeTV does not seem to be qualified. Bar?"

After hearing these words, no matter how calm Jia Yuetingrao was, he felt a little embarrassed.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have found the wrong person.

Mentioning the term "top in the industry" in front of Chen Fei is tantamount to playing tricks on Guan Gong!

"Haha, I'm definitely a little worse than Mr. Chen." Jia Yueting smiled awkwardly, quickly changed the subject, and looked at Zhang Yimou aside: "Yimou, please help me entertain Mr. Chen, I'll go and talk to him Let’s talk to those distinguished guests.”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Chen Fei curled his lips, said hello to Zhang Yimou, and then walked towards Jiang Wen.

When he sat down next to Jiang Wen, he vaguely heard Jia Yueting's ppt-like speech behind him.

In his words, the future of LeTV Pictures can be said to be bright, with huge investment prospects!

Jiang Wen bumped his arm: "Aren't you engaged in various investments? Why didn't you listen to Jia Yueting's speech?"

"I'm not interested in LeTV." Chen Fei curled his lips, turned to look at Jiang Wen, and reminded vaguely: "I suggest you not to get involved. Our company's evaluation of LeTV Pictures is C-level. It’s the lowest level.”

Jiang Wen was very surprised: "Really? So low?"

"Yes." Chen Fei explained: "Think about it, if a company is going public, when it is looking for financing, shouldn't it look for investors and big capital in the industry? Why would it put the target group in the market? On some celebrities in the film and television industry?”

"Why?" Jiang Wen's face showed a look of thirsty for knowledge.

Chen Fei was not polite at all and said bluntly: "Because people in the entertainment industry are stupid, and they are the kind of people who are famous for being stupid and have a lot of money."

Jiang Wen: "..."

There was a more real reason behind that Chen Fei didn't mention.

In fact, in the final analysis, people in the film and television industry are famous enough even though they have a lot of money in their pockets.

When some brainless investors and fans saw that their idols were also investing in this company, they would naturally follow suit and invest their money foolishly.

Once you are trapped, you will have no way to get back your money except to admit that you are unlucky.

When capital makes enough money, it goes abroad directly. How can it care about the lives of ordinary people?

…

As a realistic-themed movie, "Return" is destined not to be as grand as a commercial film.

Director Zhang Yimou led Gong Li, Chen Daoming, Ni Na and others to the stage and briefly talked about the filming and creation process of "Return".

Unable to find a breaking point, the media at the scene once again focused their attention on the emotional past of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

The reporters did not directly ask whether the two wanted to renew their relationship, but inquired from the side and asked whether Gong Li still had the same emotional content as before after she cooperated with Zhang Yimou again.

Emperor Gong is worthy of being Emperor Gong. Faced with these problems, she has always behaved in a good-natured manner.

"Now we should be called best friends. I understand him and he understands me. Our cooperation is still so close. Even though we haven't worked together for many years, we are still very harmonious... "

Gong Li expressed her current feelings very seriously.

What's more, in that era, it was normal for artistic young women to admire talented people. It was not like now, when everyone is running for profit.

Zhang Ziyi is the most typical example. In front of Wang Feng and Xiao Sa, she chose the former without hesitation and abandoned the latter.

In the stands, Zhang Yimou looked at Gong Li's profile, his mouth slightly open, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he chose silence.

After the interview, the film screening began quickly.

Zhang Yimou walked off the stage, sat next to Chen Fei, and whispered: "You have to give me some advice later."

"Let me take a look first before talking."

Chen Fei turned all his attention to the screen.

This is a movie about love and reunion, memory and forgetting. The pictures are exquisite and delicate, the emotions are sincere and moving, and it successfully demonstrates Zhang Yimou's talent!

However, it is a bit regrettable that because it involves scenes from that decade, many plots are not fully told clearly, but only use a few turning shots to get through it.

This also leads to the fact that the overall plot of "Return" is not as fulfilling as that of "Alive".

But even so, the film still successfully reflected the destruction and oppression of human nature by depicting the fate of ordinary families during that period. It also showed people's perseverance and hope in adversity, as well as their yearning and pursuit of a better life.

When the film screening ended, the audience burst into warm applause!

Everyone looked at Zhang Yimou with a hint of admiration. In terms of literary and artistic films, his level has not deteriorated at all.

Many female celebrities were wiping tears at the scene. Even though the film had ended, they seemed to be still immersed in the plot and unable to extricate themselves.

In the subsequent interview session, as expected, Chen Fei's name was called out by the host.

Taking the microphone, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Although "The Return" does not show the grand scenes of that period, it reflects the turmoil and changes of the entire era through the joys and sorrows of a small family.

This narrative technique of seeing the big from the small makes the film closer to people's hearts, allowing the audience to feel the heaviness and helplessness of the times in a delicate emotional experience.

In this regard, director Zhang Yimou handled it very well.

At the same time, I also noticed that the plot of "return" appears many times in the film, and each return carries different connotations and emotions.

These returns are not only a portrayal of the fate of the characters, but also a profound reflection of the changes of the times. Through multi-level returns, the film successfully builds a rich and complex narrative structure, showing a unique charm. This is very worth learning. …”

Chen Fei didn't say any "unpleasant" words and praised him throughout the whole process.

After all, this is someone else's movie premiere, and he won't criticize the other party stupidly, as that would seem too devoid of emotional intelligence.

On the stage, Zhang Yimou's face was full of smiles, as if he had already seen the success of the film.

What surprised many people was that after the movie screening ended and the interviews with the creative team came to an end, Jia Yueting actually walked onto the stage with a microphone.

In front of thousands of people at the scene, he solemnly announced: "Here, let me first inform you of the good news, that is, director Zhang Yimou has become the first celebrity shareholder of LeTV Pictures.

After LeTV Pictures is successfully listed, his net worth will be at least nine figures, and he will become the richest director..."

That PPT style deception started again.

Chen Fei noticed that many people around him were quite moved. The three words "nine digits" were too tempting!

After enduring the discomfort and listening to Jia Yueting's speech, Chen Fei did not attend the subsequent cocktail party, but left the scene directly with Liu Yifei.

If his guess was correct, the subsequent cocktail party would definitely be Mr. Jia’s speech, and he was not interested in listening to the ppt.

…

In the car, Miss Liu said excitedly: "Hehe, Sister Gong Li said that she admires me for becoming a well-known female producer in the industry.

She also said that if I need it in the future, I can ask her for advice on acting skills, or even provide on-site guidance..."

Listening to Miss Liu's words, Chen Fei smiled softly and reminded: "Then you can ask for advice on acting skills now.

Let me tell you first, I will make a film for you in the first half of next year, and we can try to rush to the Cannes Film Festival. "

"ah?"

Liu Yifei was immediately stunned and looked at Chen Fei in disbelief.

The two did talk about the issue of winning the prize before.

At that time, Chen Fei promised to help Liu Yifei make an award-winning film.

Liu Yifei originally thought that the prize competition would start after a long time, but she never thought that Chen Fei would give her such a big surprise!

"Next year? Going to the Cannes Film Festival?"

The smile on Liu Yifei's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a nervous look: "I...can I do it?"

Chen Fei shrugged: "If you don't try it, how will you know if it works?"

This sudden news obviously frightened Liu Yifei. She did not make a fuss along the way, but frowned and thought hard, not knowing what she was thinking.

It wasn't until the business car arrived downstairs of the company that she reacted belatedly.

"I will try my best! You don't have to feel bad for me! If I don't satisfy you in any part of my performance, you can scold me severely, you can even... hit me!"

Chen Fei turned around and saw a complex and moving expression on her face, which was a subtle fusion of tangle and bravery.

Those beautiful brows were lightly frowned, as if she was intertwined with various thoughts and concerns in her heart, and every tiny wrinkle revealed her inner struggle and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Chen Fei wanted to tease her for no reason.

He moved slightly closer, stretched out his hand and patted her pert part gently.

Glancing at the palm prints on the suit pants, he joked: "Then it's agreed. If you get stuck in one of your pants, I'll slap you when I get back in the evening. How about that?"

The next second, a delicate blush suddenly appeared on the girl's cheeks, like the first peach blossoms blooming in spring, shy and touching.

The blush slowly spread from her cheeks and gradually infected the roots of her ears, like the gentlest clouds in the sky under the sunset, gently falling on her face.

"Oh, you're leaving soon. Don't you still have to work? You're almost late."

Liu Yifei's eyes were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, revealing an indescribable shyness.

She had never flirted with Chen Fei outside in broad daylight. Even though she could not see through the car window, she still felt very shy.

However, she vaguely felt that this kind of interaction in "public" seemed to be more interesting than in bed.

…

Back at the company, Chen Fei went straight to Zhong Lifeng's office amid calls of "Hello, Director Chen."

"Dr. Chen, Mr. Zhong is waiting for you in the office."

The secretary led him to Zhong Lifang's door, opened the door specially for him, and then turned and left.

"Director Chen, you are here."

Behind the desk, Zhong Lifang stood up and came over.

"Don't be so polite, sit down."

The two of them went straight to the reception area, took their seats, and got to the point.

"How did you read the script?" Chen Fei's eyes fell on the script that Zhong Lifang had been holding.

"I've finished watching it." Zhong Lifang responded with a somewhat complicated look: "This movie is not easy to make!"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What? Which aspect do you think is more difficult?"

"The main thing is the choice of filming location. The Golden Triangle is a well-known three-pronged area. It is close to Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. The situation is very chaotic. If our crew goes there to film, it will be difficult to guarantee safety."

"You don't have to worry about this. I will arrange for someone to protect you throughout the whole process. You will be mainly responsible for the preparation work related to the crew."

"Okay, I understand." Zhong Lifang responded, and then asked: "A lot of weapons and equipment may be used in the filming. Are you cooperating with Bayi Studio in this regard? Or..."

"No need to look for Bayi, I will arrange for the Hollywood production team to come over. I will give you the contact information later. You can communicate with them about the relevant props."

"Then I will send the script to the film bureau for review first? After it is approved, start the casting plan immediately?"

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded: "I have already agreed with Lu Yang that he will be responsible for directing this movie. He was the one who shot the previous movie "Wolf Warriors". He is still very experienced in this aspect. of."

In Chen Fei's view, Lu Yang is very suitable for filming this kind of fighting and killing movies.

He has done very well in the previous films such as "Xiu Chun Dao" and "One Man's Martial Arts".

Especially in action scenes, he is very skilled!

The next crime thriller "Sicario", although there are more gunfight scenes in it, can still be classified as an action genre in the final analysis.

If he can make "Wolf Warrior" well, he can definitely make this "Sicario" well.

In fact, the subject of this script was originally a Hollywood movie. The background of the story is set on the border between the United States and Mexico. It tells the story of an elite team composed of law enforcement officers and mysterious agents who take down a drug trafficking organization.

But after careful consideration, Chen Fei finally spent some time to Chineseize it.

He changed the federal conquest special forces into the Chinese special forces, and the Mexican border was changed into the Golden Triangle, focusing on "reasonableness".

He is very satisfied with the effect of the Chinese version, and he also holds the copyright. In the future, he can make an American version of "Sicario" based on the original version.

This project was the first project that Zhong Lifang took over after joining the company, and from then on, she would take over all films involving foreign backgrounds.

…

After leaving the company, Chen Fei went back to the courtyard and put his passport, credit cards, etc. into his bag.

The plane to Hollywood will leave tomorrow night, and he will most likely have to spend the next six months in Hollywood.

Liu Yifei, a little follower, will also go to Hollywood with him to help with a guest role.

There will be a female scientist character in "Avengers 2" named "Hailun Zhao".

She doesn’t have many scenes, only about one minute, but she is an indispensable role.

When the filming starts, Liu Yifei can just come and show her face.

And the promotion before the release of "Frozen" is about to start. As the voice of the heroine, Liu Yifei naturally cannot be absent.

Including North America, France, Germany, Singapore, China and many other countries, she has to follow the crew to travel around.
