Chapter 698: How Powerful Are the Fighting Power of Contemporary Netizens!

"If you want to avoid criticism when doing charity, you can either donate the money to a trustworthy charity fund, or work hard yourself and do it in a fair, just and open manner..."

In a villa in Beverly Hills, Chen Fei was telling Liu Yifei about some matters and operational details related to charity.

"Well, I understand."

Liu Yifei nodded very solemnly, feeling quite emotional.

The two had just arrived in Hollywood for a few days, and many domestic charity foundations had exposed many problems, causing a lot of trouble in the city.

Facts have proved that celebrities can do charity, donate money and materials, and even go to disaster areas to rescue, but they must not set up any charity funds.

Just recently, a certain queen and her ex-husband "Yanran" were just exposed for corruption.

Not long after that, Li Lianjie's "One Foundation" also had problems, and all kinds of corruption, withholding, and misappropriation of funds were spread all over the sky.

Many people on the Internet are discussing the situation related to Li Lianjie:

"The godson just had an accident a few days ago, and now the godfather has a problem again. No one in this family can rest assured!"

"It seems that Li Lianjie has been dying for a long time. There are no movies to shoot abroad, and there are no film projects in China. I heard that his health has not been very good recently."

"Hehe, I don't know if you believe it or not, anyway, I think there must be something in the movie "The Mummy 3" he shot. It seems that since the filming of this movie, his whole state has not been very good."

"Insulting my Qin Shi Huang, the backlash of luck is a joke?"

"Anyway, I have never had a good impression of him. Look at Chen Long. He never plays a villain abroad, but he is so good. He keeps taking all kinds of villain roles. Now he is suffering retribution, right?"

Although Chen Fei is a materialist, he has always avoided touching those taboo things.

For example, those plots involving insulting China in the script of "Iron Man 2" were completely modified by him.

There was also the film project "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" that Kevin Feige had previously proposed to produce, which was rejected by him without hesitation.

As a Chinese, if he does not cherish his own country, how can he call himself a descendant of the dragon?

…

After resting for two days in Beverly Hills, Chen Fei temporarily said goodbye to Liu Yifei and flew to the UK.

When he successfully arrived at the crew of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", he found that the rest of the main creative staff had all arrived.

Seeing him coming, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and other actors hurried over and greeted him:

"Fei, long time no see."

"Fei! I'm going to miss you so much!"

"Hahaha, Fei, you've become much more handsome again..."

After greeting everyone, Chen Fei found the producer Kevin Feige.

While taking the shooting plan from him, Chen Fei asked, "Are you ready?"

Kevin Feige replied, "Well, we can officially start shooting in an hour."

"Okay, then you go and arrange it. I'll take a look at the project book first."

"Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" is set after "Avengers", telling the story of the Avengers facing the threat of artificial intelligence Ultron and starting a new battle.

The first location of the crew was the Sainsbury Visual Arts Center of the University of East Anglia in the UK. This modernist building can add a lot of technological sense to the film.

After a brief look at the project plan, Chen Fei went to check the relevant shooting equipment.

The world's most advanced photography equipment and shooting technology are used in this shooting, such as ARRI Alexa camera and spider camera device, so as to achieve fast movement and complex lens shooting.

The entire shooting cycle of the film is 3 to 4 months, and most of the scenes will be completed with the help of green screen.

During this period, many special effects companies will participate in the special effects production of the film, and Industrial Light and Magic will still be the main partner.

They will be responsible for the special effects production of characters such as the Hulk and Ultron, as well as the digital reconstruction of many scenes, facial capture, muscle simulation, etc., to achieve realistic performances and dynamic effects of the characters.

An hour later, all members of the Avengers were assembled.

Chen Fei came to the back of the monitor, holding a loud speaker in his hand, and shouted to the set: "I announce that "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" is officially launched!"

The power breathing light of the camera next to it flickered slightly, as if responding to Chen Fei's words.

There are no secrets in Hollywood that can be hidden, let alone the news of a large crew starting filming!

Therefore, the relevant news quickly spread throughout Hollywood, and even reached the country in a very short time.

"Reprinted from the Hollywood Daily: The film "Avengers 2" produced by Marvel Studios, directed by Chen Fei, and starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and others has officially started filming."

"It is reported that the investment amount for filming "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" is US$250 million, equivalent to RMB 1.55 billion. Among them, the salary of Robert Downey Jr., the actor of Iron Man, is as high as US$40 million, while other major Actors such as Captain America and Thor also earn quite a lot of money.”

"According to relevant personnel, the shooting locations of "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" include China Magic City, Xiangjiang and other places. Lucky fans can attend the filming process."

News of the launch of another Hollywood blockbuster directed by Chen Fei began to be whispered on major domestic entertainment news websites, attracting the attention of many Marvel fans.

At first, many film producers in the Mainland were frightened, fearing that their own films would collide with them and affect their box office results.

But soon everyone discovered that even if it didn't hit this one, it would definitely collide head-on with other movies produced by Feiyue Films.

Simply, let's just accept the situation as it comes.

…

Without large-scale marketing, the news of the launch of "Avengers 2" did not spread for too long in the mainland.

And the most important thing is that the entire entertainment industry is currently focusing on the variety show "Running Brothers" and has no time to pay attention to other news.

As the producers, producers, and investors of the variety show, Su Guohai, Gu Yongqiang, and Wang Changtian sat together again and began to discuss some details.

"There is no problem with advertising investment. Many sponsors are contacting us now. Next, I will develop a bidding model, and the highest bidder can participate in the sponsorship."

As a variety show, the main source of income is investment, advertising and sponsorship, and "Running Brothers" is naturally not immune to this.

At this time, Su Guohai suddenly said: "Mr. Chen specifically ordered that the only female guest among the seven guests will be selected from the Feiyinghuang Agency. For the rest, feel free to do so."

Although Guangguang also has female artists, Wang Changtian will definitely not compete with Chen Fei for this.

After all, Feiyue Film and Television is the largest investor, and Guangguang is just a side hustle.

What's more, the female artists under Guangguang's banner don't seem to be qualified enough.

At the same time, he suddenly remembered the phone call he received from Zeng Jia last night. The other party wanted to use his relationship to send Yang Mi to this variety show.

He now wants to laugh when he thinks of the conditions Zeng Jia offered last night.

"As long as Mr. Wang can make Yang Mi a regular female guest, in the future, if Yang Mi participates in a film and television project invested by Enlight, she can get a 20% discount on her film salary."

These words sounded like they were giving away light. I wonder where they got their confidence?

"There is still another issue that needs to be considered." Wang Changtian added: "Although Youku can be used as an online exclusive broadcast platform, satellite TV channels are also a top priority, and this is also a very good source of income."

Gu Yongqiang said: "There are indeed many TV stations approaching me, and the prices are very high."

Su Guohai said casually: "Then the one with the highest price will get it, but it should be noted that it must be during the best popular time period, and it must be a TV station with star status."

"I think so too."

The three of them talked to each other and quickly perfected the relevant promotion plans during the filming of the variety show and after the production was completed.

…

In fact, after the "Running Man" project was announced, many people even called Chen Fei through connections with various parties.

For those who were not familiar with him, he simply fooled them.

As for those who were familiar with him, he explained patiently: "Zhu Yawen, you don't want to be a permanent guest. If you want to have fun, you can go for a walk as a flying guest. You can just be a permanent guest." ”

Zhu Yawen was very puzzled: "Why? I feel like I am quite talented in gaming? And if I participate in this kind of variety show, it will not help my fame and celebrity status in the slightest!"

"No, no, no, you are wrong." Chen Fei explained seriously: "Although your reputation can indeed increase rapidly after participating in variety shows, it will form a fixed impression on the audience and movie fans.

When an actor is no longer so mysterious, he will be completely useless. Every role you play will form a fixed image in the eyes of movie fans, which is extremely detrimental to your career as an actor..."

Speedy exposure will cause the actor's mystery to disappear, and once a fixed impression is left on fans, he will only be able to play the same type of role in the future.

In this regard, Chen Fei admires Zhang Yi very much.

Since he signed a contract with Feiyinghuang Agency, there have been countless requests for him to participate in long-term recording of variety shows, and the prices are extremely high.

Some variety shows even quoted higher prices than his salary for two movies!

But he was just indifferent. He had no intention of participating in the recording of the variety show and focused on the performance.

And this is a pure actor. Chen Fei believes that his future path will only get wider and farther!

Following Chen Fei's explanation, Zhu Yawen finally gave up the idea of ​​"taking shortcuts".

Later, many acquaintances called Chen Fei, but after listening to his patient explanation, they all gave up the idea of ​​becoming a permanent guest.

As for the flying guests, they have no impact. They go there once in a while to promote their works and so on. This is a normal marketing strategy.

For example, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "White Night", "Red Sorghum", "Nirvana in Fire", etc. It is inevitable for the creative teams of these dramas to have a chance to work on "Running Man".

"Xiao Ming?"

When receiving a call from Huang Xiaoming, Chen Fei was a little surprised: "Why, you're here to ask about "Running Man" too? Let me warn you first, this variety show is definitely not suitable for you who are looking to improve your acting skills or even change careers. People come as regular guests.”

"Haha, I know." Huang Xiaoming smiled: "I'm not asking for help, it's the baby who is particularly interested in the quota of the resident female guest, but she is too embarrassed to bother you, so she urged me, a shameless person. Someone came to ask."

By coincidence, Scarlett suddenly came over with the script in hand, as if she wanted to ask for advice.

Chen Fei made a "wait a minute" gesture to her, and said bluntly into his mobile phone: "Xiao Ming, I don't want to be careless with you anymore. You know that I also have a brokerage company where I sign contracts. There are not many female artists.”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Xiaoming suddenly understood.

His tone didn't fluctuate much. After quickly changing the topic and exchanging pleasantries, he hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Putting down his phone, Huang Xiaoming looked at Yang Ying, who was pouting and looking unwilling, and could only shrug: "You heard it too, it's not that I don't want to help you, the key is that the candidate for this female guest has already been decided. "

"Huh! I'm not happy anymore!"

Yang Ying pouted, folded her hands in front of her chest, and turned her head stubbornly.

Huang Xiaoming had no choice but to go over and coax: "Don't be unhappy, it's just a variety show. If you miss it, you missed it. I will introduce you to better film and television drama projects then..."

Huang Xiaoming patiently coaxed his little girlfriend, which was a treatment that neither Li Fei'er nor Qin Lan had enjoyed before.

In fact, he didn't know why he doted on Yang Ying so much, but he couldn't help but want to do it. There was no reason or excuse, as if he was under a love spell.

…

After two days of excitement, when Chen Fei turned off his phone, no one finally bothered him with the topic of "Running Man".

The filming of "Avengers 2" was sluggish at the beginning, but now it has become very smooth, and the progress every day can be said to be "a thousand miles".

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the 17th.

That morning, as soon as Chen Fei arrived at the set, he brought his laptop and lay leisurely on the director's chair to read the news.

There were a lot of staff and actors coming and going on the set, but they didn't affect him at all, and no one came up to disturb him.

Chen Fei's main goal in making news today is "Return" directed by Zhang Yimou.

"The Return" was released to domestic theaters yesterday, and according to media reports, theaters have a very full schedule for this movie.

During the same period, except for the imported film "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", all other domestic films were diverted, just so as not to affect the performance of this film.

Once upon a time, when Chen Fei was still a young boy, Zhang Yimou was already recognized as the number one director in the industry!

Although Brother Chen Kai was very dissatisfied at the time and repeatedly claimed in front of the media that Zhang Yimou was just a weakling who was trying to protect him from the cameras, this still could not change the fact that he was not as good as the latter.

And now, with the rise of Chen Fei, he has naturally become the well-deserved number one director in the industry!

Holding the three European Grand Slams + Oscar + No. 1 global commercial film box office, not even Zhang Yimou can compare with him.

As a result, Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai began to fight for "second place".

The former used what he had learned throughout his life to make this film "Return", while the latter is still filming his film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain".

Which of the two can win second place is still unknown.

But judging from the reputation of the movie "Return", Zhang Yimou still performed at a very superb level.

As a literary film, the first-day box office result of 25.19 million is considered very good.

After a day of screening, Douban and Maoyan scores are still above 9 points, which confirms that the film's subsequent reputation will not be bad.

"I spend my whole life waiting for the return of the most familiar stranger, and at the same time I am waiting for the dust in my heart to settle."

"I quietly ran to watch "The Return" alone. There were no magnificent scenes, no hoarse voices of great sorrow, and no excessive exaggeration or sadness, but all the touches were just right, and the deep emotions were deep in my heart. On the surface, it is like a trickle, but it slowly and continuously penetrates into your heart. This is a kind of emotion that penetrates from the heart. "

"Ordinary and simple love is the most heartwarming thing, but the love of that era is always a luxury for now."

"Personally, I think "Return" is simply the most profound work Lao Mouzi has made in recent years. The superb acting skills of Gong Li and Chen Daoming lit up a dazzling beacon of humanity in the gloomiest haze. "

"..."

A large number of netizens are commenting on the Internet, and their words are full of praise for "Return", saying that Zhang Yimou's "Return" has been a great success.

It's just that, for those "senior film and television people", "Return" seems to be a piece of stinky shit in their writing.

Shots, lines, plot, performance...

These film critics can always find a tricky enough angle to severely criticize "The Return", demonstrating their "professional" level.

It's as if a compliment will have a huge impact on their careers.

"Fireworks in the Day" had also encountered such a wave of treatment before, but because of the Berlin Golden Bear trophy, this group of film critics did not dare to be too presumptuous.

But now the emergence of "The Return" has given them an opportunity, which directly triggered a "crusade" against it by film critics.

It's just that netizens don't care how "professional" these film critics are.

After seeing their favorite movies being criticized, movie fans spontaneously organized and began to fight back.

"What kind of bastard are you? Are you saying that Zhang Yimou is not good enough? You can do it!"

"Pfft, I'm really laughing to death. You actually said that Gong Li's acting is emotionless. If she's awesome, why don't you let your wife do it?"

"What? The plot isn't deep enough? If it's deep enough, why don't you help greet the film bureau and let it pass the review? What kind of brain do you have? Is it really Watt?"

"Everyone says it looks good, but you insist on saying it doesn't look good. I think you don't want to cater to the masses, and you just want to be an oppositionist, right?"

"If you have the guts, don't leave the Weibo comment section. Let's see if labor and management don't fight you to death!"

The fighting power of contemporary netizens is not ordinary. Chen Fei watched helplessly as several film critics were criticized and closed the Weibo comment area. It was obvious that his defense had been broken.

Some film critics still want to "reach a higher level", but the final result is that they are directly labeled as "poor values ​​​​oriented" and "singing against the masses", and they are almost frightened!
