Chapter 714: New Sino-Foreign Co-Production Project? Defeat the Cancer and Parasites of Society!

"Everybody, our filming has entered a critical stage. I hope that in the next period of time, everyone can work together and strive for the day when filming is completed!"

On the set of "Avengers 2", Chen Fei is making his final mobilization.

In order to create the final battle scene between Ultron and the Avengers, the production staff spared no effort and studied many shots of earthquakes, mudslides, ice shelves, collapsed buildings and demolitions to present a messy yet detailed effect.

Now that some preliminary preparations are in place, all that is left is for Chen Fei to lead a group of actors to complete the subsequent filming process.

After the mobilization, everyone entered the intense preparation stage.

At this time, the assistant suddenly came over, leaned next to Chen Fei's ear, and whispered: "Boss, Brian Taylor is here."

"Um?"

Chen Fei subconsciously looked into the distance and saw a blond girl standing there, waving to where he was.

In terms of soundtrack, "Avengers 2" once again chose Brian Taylor, her third collaboration with Marvel after "Iron Man 3" and "Thor: The Dark World".

Film production and filming is a large and complex process, involving the collaborative efforts of many staff, including directors, actors, special effects teams, soundtrack engineers, etc.

Chen Fei is not afraid of spending money, he is just afraid that the effect will not be shocking enough.

Therefore, even though Brian Taylor's offer was very high, he still chose her resolutely.

Seeing Chen Fei coming over, Taylor said with a smile: "Fei, I'm here to report."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. My agent will contact you for follow-up work arrangements."

"Ok, I'll be at your disposal whenever you need me."

Taylor's eyes were shining, and he was obviously very interested in Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was already used to this kind of look. It was fine in China, where people were relatively reserved.

But after arriving abroad, whenever I met those European and American celebrities, they all wanted to pounce on them and eat them alive!

For a director like him who can not only compete for awards but also direct and shoot big-budget and high-box-office movies, to those European and American stars, they are like fireflies encountering the light, and they can't wait to stick to him.

At the same time, while Chen Fei was filming "Avengers 2" in an orderly manner, a piece of news exploded in the domestic entertainment industry like a nuclear bomb!

"Produced by China Film, Volton Pictures, Lucasfilm and other film and television companies, directed by Steven S. Dinette, starring Wu Jing, Jing Tian and others, with an investment of up to 150 million US dollars, a Hollywood science fiction The blockbuster "Pacific Rim 2" is officially announced to be released on the Lunar New Year release date, scheduled for December 1st."

"It is reported that "Pacific Rim 1" has achieved a domestic box office of 1.42 billion yuan. This sequel is coming again and may have the opportunity to surpass the previous one."

"Actors Jing Tian and Wu Jing announced the good news on Weibo at the same time, as well as the makeup posters, which received congratulations from many people in the industry."

…

In less than half an hour, the news of "Pacific Rim 2" quickly spread on the Internet and successfully landed on the headline pages of major film and television entertainment information.

Many film and television production companies in the industry began to curse after being initially confused.

China Film is so unreliable that it actually put this kind of movie in the Lunar New Year schedule. Isn't this a clear attempt to deceive its own domestic movies?

Although this is a Chinese-foreign co-production, with the participation of China Film Group Corporation, it cannot be so overbearing!

Previously, when "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" was announced to be scheduled for the Lunar New Year, people in the industry were already panicking.

But now it's good, "Ring 2" is also here.

What is even more depressing to many people in the industry is that "Ring 2" is scheduled to be released on December 1st, while "Ghost 2" is scheduled to be released on December 15th. This is obviously an attempt to cover the entire Lunar New Year schedule. .

Facing these two giants, who can stop them?

Jiang Wen, who is discussing box office share with theaters, is already confused. His "One Step Away" is also scheduled for the Lunar New Year, but compared with such two giants, can it withstand it?

For a moment, he actually fell into deep thought.

The confidence I had in the past suffered a huge impact at this moment!

At the same time, in the post-dubbing lounge of "Dragon Nest: Breaking Dawn", Hu Ge was watching Jing Tian discussing the next trip with her agent with a look of emotion on his face.

The heroine of a $150 million science fiction blockbuster was standing in front of him so beautifully, which made him feel inexplicably unreal.

Of course, there is more envy and sourness.

Because "Pacific Rim" is destined to be an epic science fiction masterpiece, it will definitely leave a mark in film history in the future.

As the heroine, Jing Tian is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided.

And this kind of hierarchical resource gap is even more difficult to catch up with among female celebrities.

If the big ladies are just envious, then many young actresses don't even dare to dream of such exaggerated "dreams".

Especially the second-generation flowers like Yang Mi, Yang Ying, and Ni Ni, while feeling envious, also have an unspeakable feeling of powerlessness.

Liu Yifei was already beyond their reach, and now Jing Tian appeared, pressing down on them like two huge mountains!

Throughout the day, the industry was discussing this Chinese-foreign co-production.

The popularity it has aroused even exceeds that of Transformers 4, which is charging towards 2 billion box office. As for other upcoming movies such as Tiny Times 3, Big Fish and Begonia, and See You Tomorrow, the popularity has been suppressed to the bottom.

At this time, in the office of La Peikang of China Film Group.

"We must follow up the promotion of Rim 2 throughout the process, and we must do our best without any mistakes. I think everyone knows what co-production means. We must not slack off this time..."

When he took office, La Peikang envied the achievements made by Han Sanping before.

"Pacific Rim 1", "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "The Martian", "Gravity", "Ghost Blowing Out the Light", "Founding of a Republic"...

These projects were all participated in by him, and even handled by him.

These are all great political achievements! It is the basis for Han Sanping to still enjoy extremely high treatment after retirement!

As for those loss-making projects, such as "Red Cliff", they are not worth mentioning at all.

China Film Group has never been afraid of losses, but only afraid of no political achievements.

As long as a movie with political achievements can be organized, most of the previous loss-making projects can be easily covered up, and even more investment funds can be applied for with this opportunity.

After all, the development of cultural undertakings has never been for the purpose of profit.

And this is also the reason why Han Sanping specially participated in several award-winning films invested and produced by Feiyue Film and Television before his retirement.

With the blessing of such political achievements, he can still get away with it even if he is sued internationally by foreigners.

This is exactly what La Beikang wants.

Therefore, when he took office, he firmly reached a cooperative alliance with Chen Fei.

Facts have proved that his choice is very correct.

Chen Fei not only gave him such a big gift as "Pacific Rim 2", but also successfully led the film and television industry into the 3 billion box office era under his "leadership".

Although the latter is strictly speaking Han Sanping's political achievement, he can also get some of it.

As for "Pacific Rim 2", this is purely his political achievement and the foundation on which he relies to stabilize himself, so he naturally has to treat it with caution and strive to make a good result.

He had even decided to go against all odds and apply for a key extension for him.

The meeting lasted more than half an hour before it ended.

When there was no one else in the office, La Beikang lay back on his chair and began to think about other arrangements.

This year, China Film Group has invested in many projects, including some big ones, and he had to follow up on all of them personally.

However, at this moment, the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in, reminding him, "Mr. La, someone from Universal Pictures is here and they are waiting for you in the reception area."

"Okay, I got it."

La Beikang nodded, stood up, straightened his suit, and walked out.

If "Ring 2" is his first political achievement, then the cooperation he is about to reach with Universal Pictures is likely to be his second political achievement.

The two sides have secretly contacted many times, and if there are no other unexpected accidents, this cooperation must be a done deal.

...

After finishing a day of shooting, Chen Fei returned to Beverly Hills.

While enjoying Miss Liu's shoulder massage service, he was browsing the news.

There is nothing interesting in Hollywood. It's nothing more than a number of movies launching preview plans, which are suspected to compete for Oscars.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the turn of various "monsters and demons" to take the stage next. After all, there is a lot of fun in the public relations process.

Comparatively speaking, he still prefers to read domestic news.

There is no way, there are too many fun things!

First, Bona officially announced that it will delist from Nasdaq, and it is currently going through the process.

According to relevant media reports, Bona Film Group has currently received non-binding privatization transaction offers submitted by Dong, Sequoia Capital and Fosun International.

When Bona was first listed on Nasdaq, there was a lot of applause in the mainland.

But what is shocking is that Bona encountered a "break" on the day of listing, and its stock price has been sluggish since then.

Compared with the United States, the domestic capital market has always given higher valuations to film and television listed companies, which made Yu Dong plan to return to China for listing a long time ago.

Then, coupled with the various pressures from his ex-wife recently, he was exhausted and simply started the delisting process in advance.

Next, he first needs to privatize the entire Bona Film Group, and this process is naturally inevitable.

In the comments of netizens, his life seems to have been frozen.

"Success is due to women! Failure is also due to women!"

In addition, the ambitious Ali on the other side is also constantly breaking news.

Just a few hours ago, Ma Yun, who is regarded as a "god" by many people, came to Ali Pictures in person and gave a blood-boiling speech.

"In my opinion, there are too many problems in the domestic film and television cultural industry, and the most important thing is that they take a lot of money but don't use it in the right place, but squander it everywhere, so that they continue to suffer losses.

And Hollywood has done a very good job in this regard. Most of the film and television works they create are adapted from various original novels, such as "Harry Potter".

This time, Ali will also learn this excellent creative method, cater to the love of the general public, and rely on big data to make truly praiseworthy works!"

After belittling the traditional film and television industry, Ma Dashen made a speech to the entire film and television industry:

"We hope that capable screenwriters and creators can join Alibaba. Let's work hard together, strive to be the first, move towards a new era of the film and television industry, and be a guide..."

I have to say that Ma Yun is really strong in speaking.

Chen Fei saw media reports saying that after the speech, Alibaba Pictures' stock price soared!

A large number of leeks seemed to have seen the light and believed that Ali would definitely make them rich, and they started to express their support online.

For a time, Alibaba Pictures' popularity surged.

Subsequently, many people did respond to the call, came to Alibaba Pictures with scripts in hand, and joined this big family.

It’s just that there is an old saying: Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, the son of mouse can dig holes!

Under Ali's cultivation, what will the output of these people be like?

Chen Fei said he would wait and see.

He still clearly remembered that Zhang Qiang threatened him to be careful.

Now he is particularly curious, how does the other party make him "careful"?

Is it just relying on those bad movies made with "popular IP + fan movies + celebrity directors"? Has Ali become so blindly confident?

…

…

As night fell, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got into a Cadillac and arrived at a gun club in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Bruce arrived here early, and after seeing the two of them, he immediately greeted them warmly.

"Fei, and the beautiful Crystal, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Fei urged: "Stop talking like this, hurry in and talk, be careful not to be photographed by the paparazzi."

"OK."

Bruce responded, acted as a waiter, and led the two of them to a VIP box located on the upper floor of the club.

There were originally two long-legged blond girls inside, but they were sent away by Bruce.

With Liu Yifei here today, he naturally couldn't be too presumptuous.

"Come, Crystal, you sit down first. There is food here, you can take it freely."

After arranging Liu Yifei first, Bruce took out two telescopes from under the table as if by magic, and then handed one of them to Chen Fei.

He walked to the window on one side and pointed in a direction, indicating to Chen Fei to look that way.

What appeared in the telescope screen was a splendid courtyard, brightly lit, and parked with many luxury cars that ordinary people could not afford even if they worked hard for several lifetimes.

Chen Fei asked with some confusion: "Is this the gathering place of the Nxivm sect?"

"That's right." Bruce responded: "This is a property owned by Keith Lanier in Los Angeles. On average, every six months, he will hold a promotional meeting here to develop new members and consolidate his club. Long identity.”

At this time, a luxury car would still drive into the courtyard from time to time.

Bruce introduced intermittently: "This is a female congressman from Florida, this is a leader responsible for women's human rights, this is the deputy chief of a police department in New York, and this is the warden of a women's prison in California. …”

Following Bruce's introduction, Chen Fei quickly grasped two key points.

"Are all the people participating in the rally elites from the female community?"

"That's right, Nxivm only accepts women, either high-ranking or beautiful."

Liu Yifei on the side felt dizzy while listening to the conversation between the two.

"What are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Bruce glanced at Chen Fei first, and after receiving approval, he introduced the relevant information about Nxivm and Keith Lanier.

When she heard terms such as "brainwashing," "trafficking women," and "organizing illegal gatherings," Ms. Liu turned pale with fright, no matter how calm she was.

Until the end, she looked at Chen Fei in surprise and asked in disbelief: "So, the person who claims to be my fan is actually the leader of a very evil sect?"

"That's right." Chen Fei comforted him without looking back, "But don't worry, after tonight, this sect will no longer exist."

…

Almost an hour later, luxury cars in the courtyard began to drive out one after another.

Looking around, the drivers were all, without exception, women wearing famous brands, exquisite makeup, and high positions of authority.

After more than ten minutes, Bruce's phone suddenly vibrated.

After he glanced down, a smile appeared on his face: "Fei, we succeeded. The last piece of evidence has been successfully obtained."

"good!"

Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction.

Soon, there was a knock on the box door, and Amy Nott, a female reporter who had helped Chen Fei bring down Harvey Weinstein, walked in.

As soon as she entered the door, without saying a word, she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water on the table and drank it.

It wasn't until her mind completely calmed down that she sighed with some fear: "I admit that I underestimated the enemy. That guy who is known as the master of human psychodynamics really has two brushes, and his speech level is simply extraordinary!"

At first, Amy Nott didn't understand why so many elite women were deceived by Keith Lanier.

But after actually participating in a rally, she realized the horror.

It was a speech that could make people sink. If you listen to it too much, you might even fall into the psychological trap set by the other party, or even be enslaved by the other party.

Under the influence of that kind of emotion at that time, it was difficult for people to remain rational.

Fortunately, she only needed to attend a party.

"Is it going well?" Chen Fei looked at her curiously.

"Very well."

Amy Nott nodded, took out a memory card from her bag, and inserted it into the computer prepared by Bruce in advance.

After a while, Keith Raniere's speech that seemed to be full of magic echoed in everyone's ears.

Halfway through listening, Chen Fei directly pressed the pause button and said sternly: "This kind of pest must be exterminated as soon as possible!"

Amy Nott nodded in approval: "Fei, you think the same as me."

"It's better to do it today than tomorrow. Contact the media and publish all the evidence collected recently. Let the Americans see that there is such a cancerous demon in their society!"
