Chapter 727 The Imperial Sword Is in Hand! Can Huayi Also Have a High-Grossing Movie?

The three-hour meeting officially ended at noon.

On the rostrum, Tong Gang did not stay too long, but left the venue quickly with several other people.

The time for the subsequent documents to be issued is not far away, and the details are very complicated. They have to go back to discuss them in advance.

As the leaders left, there was a noisy noise in the venue. Some people began to leave, while others found allies and began to discuss countermeasures.

Chen Fei's eyes fell on Zhang Guoli and Chen Long not far away.

There were many people around the two at this time, and they seemed to be talking about something with concern. Wang Zhonglei patted his chest, as if he was promising something to the two.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fei knew in his heart that these two would never give up.

If nothing unexpected happens, the sons of these two people should stay in there for about half a year. Even if they can't be on the big screen after they come out, they will definitely have no problem working behind the scenes.

The entertainment industry is a place that values ​​relationships and capital, and with the size of these two people, it should not be a problem to find a good life for their son.

Chen Fei shook his head, picked up the handbag containing the script, and prepared to go to Tong Gang's office.

If this script is sent directly to the Film Bureau, it is very likely to be blocked, after all, he has offended many old guys during this period.

But if Tong Gang is asked to take it for review, no one will dare to block it, and they will even give the green light!

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, several presidents of the Directors Association, Actors Association, and Screenwriters Association suddenly came over.

"Director Chen." Li Shaohong asked first: "You are the one who said the word 'bad artist'. We know that those involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs are considered bad artists, but those public figures who cheated during marriage should not be considered bad artists, right?"

As soon as this question came out, many directors and actors around looked over, with a bit of tension and embarrassment on their faces.

A group of association members were originally very disdainful of Chen Fei, thinking that his proposal of "total ban" would never be implemented.

But what they never expected was that he actually hit the jackpot!

And now the most important thing is that Tong Gang also named him to participate in the definition of the code of conduct for bad artists, which undoubtedly gave Chen Fei a "golden sword".

No one knows how he will define this code of conduct.

If it is just "pornography, gambling and drugs", then everyone can barely accept it.

But if "extramarital infidelity" and "promiscuous relationships" are also counted as one of them, then 60% of the stars and actors in the entire entertainment industry will have to be completely banned.

You know, this is the entertainment industry!

In this place, the most common thing is all kinds of "relationships between men and women", which are as messy as they can be. There is nothing they can't do except what you can't imagine.

At present, several big directors and screenwriters are known to be "models" of "promiscuous relationships between men and women".

Only Chen Fei is relatively clean. Anyway, so far, he has never had any casual relationships with men and women in China, and the only scandal he has had is with Liu Yifei.

As for Hollywood, Japan, and South Korea, domestic rules have no effect on them.

Listening to Li Shaohong's question, Chen Fei shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Director Li, I'm not very clear about this. It depends on what the higher-ups mean."

After that, before everyone continued to ask questions, Chen Fei had squeezed out of the crowd and walked straight out.

Many people behind him looked at him, unable to hide their anger!

They firmly believed that without Chen Fei's introduction, they would be able to stop the "full ban" of the General Administration even if they did something excessive in the future.

But with his blessing, the General Administration was extremely confident and would not listen to other people's opinions at all.

"Fuck, he's the only one who pretends to be noble, right? He's so young, but he doesn't know how to adapt. He'll definitely fall flat on his face in the future!"

"Hmph! He's a selfish guy who doesn't consider the entire film and television industry at all."

"He has no organization, no discipline, and has abandoned the overall situation. He's still the honorary president of the Jin Province Film Academy? I want to see what future development the students who graduated from your academy can have?"

"From now on, I will never vote for any film award in the mainland for a movie produced by Feiyue Film and Television!"

"We can unite and boycott him secretly, not let his movies win awards, and not accept auditions from actors from his company..."

"That's great! Give him a warning! Let him think about who has the final say in the entertainment industry!"

...

It has to be said that the taste of this leader's cafeteria is different from that of ordinary cafeterias.

After having lunch with Tong Gang at the General Administration, Chen Fei secretly made up his mind to replace all the chefs in the company cafeteria after returning.

He didn't expect to follow the standards of the General Administration canteen, but it should be about the same, right?

"So what you mean is that you wrote a movie script about drug enforcement and want me to lead and organize this bureau?"

"Yes."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, got up from the sofa, and handed the script that had been prepared long ago to Tong Gang.

"Operation Mekong?"

Looking at the name on the cover of the script, Tong Gang's face suddenly became serious.

Just as he opened the script to check the content, Chen Fei explained: "The script is adapted from the Mekong River case..."

The more Tong Gang read, the more touched he felt.

Until the end, he closed the script with a "snap" and said with piercing eyes: "We can work together with the Ministry of Public Security to make this movie. I will define it as a modern theme movie."

"That's right." Chen Fei nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Although this script is very different from "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", their roots are the same."

"You wait a moment."

Tong Gang motioned for him to sit down first, then took out his mobile phone and directly broadcast a phone number.

After a while, the office door was pushed open. Chen Fei turned his head in confusion and saw an imposing middle-aged man in a white shirt walking in.

Tong Gang first introduced Chen Fei to the man's identity, then handed the script to him and briefly told the story.

When he heard words such as "10·5 Mekong River Case", the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up.

After more than ten minutes, he turned to look at Chen Fei and saluted with a "pop"!

Before Chen Fei could react, the other party said again: "We have always wanted to put the Mekong River Case on the big screen, but we have not had the right opportunity. I didn't expect you to notice this incident."

Chen Fei said seriously: "When I was writing the script of "Sicario" before, I noticed the cruelty and intensity of the Golden Triangle.

It was at that time that I noticed the Mekong River case. After learning about the relevant information, I had an idea in my mind, that is, I must put this story on the big screen and let the outside world take a look. How hard have the heroes worked for the peace and happiness of our society..."

…

The three of them talked for an hour and finally reached an agreement.

The public security department will cooperate with the entire production process of the film, as well as some later publicity and promotion activities.

And this also means that this "Operation Mekong" has successfully become a modern theme movie!

"I will arrange for someone to take the script for review. When are you going to start filming?"

Chen Fei thought for a while: "Probably in October."

"More than a month?" Tong Gang raised his eyebrows slightly: "In such a short time, from project preparation to casting, and on-site inspections, is it enough?"

"That's enough." Chen Fei simply explained: "The crew of "Sicario" produced by our company will be filming in the Golden Triangle. When the movie is finished, all the logistics staff will just transfer to the crew of "Operation Mekong", and everything will go smoothly. Take over.”

"If that's the case, that's enough time."

Tong Gang suddenly felt a little emotional: "After counting all the film and television companies in the mainland, there is only one that operates according to the model of Hollywood film companies. From upstream to downstream, it is almost everything."

You know, currently, most big-budget films are losing money.

Only Feiyue Film and Television has never suffered a major loss, and even its annual profits far exceed those of listed companies such as Huayi and Bona.

The bureau has held several conferences to try to replicate this success.

However, they didn't understand it at all.

Even if Chen Fei took the initiative and crushed it to pieces, other film and television companies simply couldn't do it.

"Haha, the Children's Bureau has won the award. This is just the result of never forgetting my original intention and never giving up on studying."

As soon as he heard the word "original intention", the smile on Tong Gang's face suddenly faded a lot.

He suddenly thought of Hua Yi. The two brothers of the Wang family seemed to have almost forgotten their original intentions.

Facing the expectations and attention of the bureau, they all turned a blind eye and almost lost the core of "film and television".

Many leaders above are already very dissatisfied, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a thorough investigation begins!

How can there be such truth in the world when you enjoy generous treatment but do nothing?

…

After leaving the General Administration, Chen Fei felt relaxed.

On the way back, he opened Weibo and checked today's news.

Affected by today's conference, the news on the Internet can be described as "splendid" and dizzying.

"On the morning of the 19th, the General Administration held another film and television entertainment industry conference to angrily criticize all the artists involved. It has been confirmed that regulations will be issued to define and deal with bad artists."

"The decision will be formalized, and artists and public figures involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, etc. will become the focus of attention."

"Director Chen Fei will participate in the definition of bad artists. Let us look forward to the final result and bring peace to this society!"

In the comment area below, many netizens expressed their opinions as if they had won:

"The entertainment industry should not be a place for bad artists to stay..."

"It's great! Haha! It's so great! I need to be punished severely."

"See you after a long time, it actually succeeded!? I thought this time it would be thunderous and rainy again."

"The bad behavior of these artists not only damages their own image, but also hurts the feelings of fans and the public. In my opinion, banning them is a comfort to the victims and a response to public expectations."

"I hope it can be implemented. I will report every one I see in the future!"

Not long after, a piece of news suddenly hit the headlines:

"Ke Zhendong, a popular young boy who has appeared in many works such as "The Girls We Chased Together" and "Tiny Times", has been detained for one week and was officially released today. He will then return to Bayan Province to undergo a second summons for trial …”

After seeing this news, Chen Fei did not hesitate at all and directly clicked into the comment area.

As expected, those brainless fans and die-hard fans popped up again.

"This is slander! My brother would never do such a thing. Someone must be accusing him of something and trying to maliciously ban him, not wanting my brother to become famous!"

"Sisters, listen to me, even if my brother is really banned in the end, we must not give up on him!"

"I will definitely wait for my brother to come back again. I believe he will definitely come back successfully. I am willing to wait for him all my life!"

"Damn Chen Fei, it's all his fault. If it weren't for him, how could my brother end up like this?"

"Why don't we rob..."

"Tsk tsk?" Looking at these comments, Chen Fei suddenly thought of a sentence: "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die!"

Still thinking about robbing the prison?

Do you really think this is still an ancient prison cell in an online novel? Can you rob the prisoners casually?

After Chen Fei returned to the company, met Su Guohai, and arranged the relevant preparation plans for "Operation Mekong", the two inevitably talked about "Monster Hunt".

"Fortunately, we did not agree to participate in the investment at that time, otherwise we would have lost a lot of money! This time, Anle Films has fallen into a big trap."

Su Guohai was quite frightened.

If it goes as expected, Jiang Zhiqiang will probably cry now.

"Monster Hunt" has been filmed and the post-production has begun, but now the leading actor Ke Zhendong has been reported for drug use!

The investment in the movie was not enough, and now such a thing has happened, which is simply adding insult to injury!

"You still underestimate Jiang Zhiqiang."

Chen Fei shook his head slightly, denying Su Guohai's speculation.

Perhaps for a formal film and television company like Feiyue Film and Television, changing the protagonist after the filming of the movie will increase a lot of production costs out of thin air, thereby causing the pressure to return the investment to soar.

The best example is "Ip Man 3".

When Chen Fei decided to replace Zhen Zixuan with Zhao Wenzhuo, the production cost of "Ip Man 3" once skyrocketed by tens of millions!

If it weren't for the subsequent box office performance, I'm afraid this movie would lose money.

But for Jiang Zhiqiang, he has too many means to operate!

The registered place of Anle Films is in Hong Kong. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if the relevant departments in the mainland want to monitor, they can't monitor it at all.

...

At this time, in the crew of "Monster Hunt".

Looking at the news on the Internet, Jiang Zhiqiang knew very well that Ke Zhendong would definitely not be able to escape this time.

Not to mention that he has no background, even if he has a background, don't think about making a comeback this time.

Even if the prince Fang was screwed, even Chen Long was powerless to save the situation, let alone Ke Zhendong, a small-time celebrity with no strength, no background, and no status.

And even if the official does not pursue it and allows him to make a comeback and continue to make money, the crew of "Monster Hunt" will not dare to use him again.

The male lead of a movie turned out to be a "bad artist". In this case, how should the subsequent publicity and promotion be carried out?

Moreover, Pan Asia Cinema Line and Wanda Cinema Line have clearly stated that bad artists are not allowed to enter the big screen. In this case, the original "Monster Hunt" is undoubtedly sentenced to death.

Therefore, the male lead must be changed, and the name "Ke Zhendong" must not appear in the movie from beginning to end!

He initially thought about whether he could directly use technical means to change Ke Zhendong's image, but after asking professionals for their opinions, he had to give up this idea.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Jiang Zhiqi's thinking.

"Come in."

As he responded, the secretary walked in from the outside with a document.

"Mr. Jiang, the budget is out."

"Let me see."

Jiang Zhiqi reached out to take the document, and the more he looked back, the uglier his face looked.

Whether it is a real scene or a CG special effect shot, the cost of reshooting is very high.

Especially Yongning Village and Dengxian Tower, all of them have to be rebuilt.

As for the special effects shots, there are more than 600 special effects shots in the movie that need to be replaced.

In other words, if the entire movie is remade, the cost will be as high as 70 million RMB!

Looking at this number, Jiang Zhiqi felt a toothache!

70 million, if the cost is based on this number, it is enough to remake another movie.

"You go out first."

Jiang Zhiqi waved his hand and sent the secretary out first.

After sitting alone in the office and thinking for nearly half an hour, he finally called Wang Zhonglei, the current general manager of Huayi:

"Mr. Wang, let's follow your previous suggestion. The distribution of the movie "Monster Hunt" will be handed over to your company, but there is one thing to note. The flow of funds must be low-key. I don't want to be targeted by the relevant departments."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhonglei laughed and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. Huayi is professional in this regard. After all, we are a listed company, and it should be easier to operate than your company."

"Well, then I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Haha, good, happy cooperation!"

Wang Zhonglei laughed very happily. Finally, Huayi is about to release a "high-grossing" movie.

"Monster Hunt", a fantasy movie involving a lot of special effects, is really suitable for "rushing" high box office.
