Chapter 731 Permanent Ban! I Object, Who Else? The Beijing Circle Is Like a Cockroach, Omnipresent!

Chapter 731 Permanent ban! I object, who has objections? The Beijing circle... is just like cockroaches, omnipresent!

"Take Deng Chao to sign the contract first."

In the audition area, Zhou Xingchi's words immediately excited Deng Chao.

To this day, the industry often compares him, Huang Xiaoming, and Tong Dawei, but the latter two have much better performance in movies than him.

Needless to say, Huang Xiaoming has never been cut off from film resources, and even has won a lot of box office and awards.

In addition to "Chinese Partners", Tong Dawei has also had many collaborations with big directors such as Zhang Yimou and Li Yu, and has also won many awards.

Looking around, he is the only one among the three who has collaborated with the top directors in the industry the least.

And now, he has actually boarded Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" chariot, which means that he has officially entered the circle of top domestic directors.

After this time, his status and influence in the circle will definitely be able to go to the next level!

"Thank you for your approval, Mr. Xing."

Deng Chao hurriedly thanked him, his eyes full of joy.

Zhou Xingchi waved his hand: "Is your schedule okay? I plan to start filming after October."

As long as it is a crew of a big director in the industry, it is usually not allowed to overlap, which is already a consensus in the circle.

Deng Chao hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the only project I have on hand is the variety show "Running Man", and I can get it all done in half a month at the latest."

"That's good."

Zhou Xingchi nodded again, signaled the deputy director to discuss the contract with Deng Chao, and then turned around and left the audition area and went straight to the reception area.

He didn't care too much about Xu Ke's arrival.

After all, the two had already discussed that the former would come to the crew of "The Mermaid" to participate in the guest appearance.

What really puzzled Zhou Xingchi was that Xu Ke actually brought Wu Yifan here, which made him feel a little strange.

...

Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to the audition process of "The Mermaid".

September is coming soon, and the General Administration is busy defining the "Code of Conduct for Bad Artists" during this period, and as one of the participants, he naturally cannot escape.

However, just as he was leaving for the General Administration again, he suddenly saw a new message on the Internet.

After seeing this message, Chen Fei's mouth suddenly drew a sneer.

Is this because he is not ready to stand at attention after being beaten, and is delusionally hoping to gain sympathy and continue to make money from those brainless fans?

"It's just wishful thinking."

He curled his lips, his heart full of contempt.

Who gave you the courage?

Chen Fei quickly withdrew his eyes from there and turned to the results of the Huading Awards.

Looking around, he saw that Chen Baoguo successfully won the Best Actor Award at the Huading Awards, officially becoming the Grand Slam winner of domestic TV drama awards.

Seeing this name, Chen Fei's heart moved.

Chen Baoguo is a real acting school, and with that face that looks very decent, he can be said to be the best actor of decent characters in the industry.

"If he is invited to play the minister in Operation Mekong..."

The more Chen Fei thought about it, the more he felt it was appropriate. He immediately called his assistant and asked him to send an audition invitation letter to Chen Baoguo.

Afterwards, he set his sights on other award winners.

Although the General Administration has not yet issued any documents, the ban on bad artists in all mainland awards has actually begun.

For example, the best TV drama director, before the incident, was the only choice for this award.

But now, this award has drawn a parallel line with his life.

In addition, there is also the "Let's Get Married".

As the most popular TV series last year, it was nominated in all major awards this year, but Huang Haibo, the leading actor, was completely isolated.

Throughout the award ceremony, no clips about him appeared, and no one even mentioned his name!

……

At this time, in the reception room of the "Mermaid" crew.

At this time, Xu Ke was sitting opposite Zhou Xingchi.

"Think about it carefully. With his current popularity, no matter which movie he appears in, it will have a very high bonus on the box office of the movie. There is no doubt about this."

In the domestic film and television industry, the Beijing circle can be regarded as the biggest mountain.

And Huayi, as the only large listed company in the Beijing circle, is undoubtedly the leader among them!

There are multiple contracts between Xu Ke and Huayi, so the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious.

And fortunately, Xu Ke and Zhou Xingchi also have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Wu Yifan, who has just become a member of the Beijing circle, now wants to contact the top resource of "The Mermaid", and naturally needs a middleman with enough weight to mediate.

If it was before the incident of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Wang Zhonglei would personally lead him to visit Zhou Xingchi.

But now, because of the tens of millions of funds, the two sides have long since stopped communicating.

So, as a mediator between the two parties, Xu Ke naturally became the only choice.

Before coming, the Beijing circle had thought of a strategy for Xu Ke to impress Zhou Xingchi.

It was nothing more than one point - "money!"

Who in the entire film and television industry doesn't know? Zhou Xingchi is famous for his love of money.

Wu Yifan's only advantage is that he is now popular enough to bring a boost to the box office of "Mermaid".

At the same time, after starring in the film, he himself can successfully complete the gold plating.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Xingchi's hesitation, Xu Ke continued to increase his firepower: "Think about it, you don't need to pay a dime for the film, you just add a few minutes of scenes to him, and then you can receive no less than With a box office of 200 million, why not?”

This sentence is quite tempting to Zhou Xingchi, but he is a serious person and still has not made up his mind.

Seeing this, Xu Ke immediately said to the female assistant on the side, who was his current girlfriend: "Go and bring Wu Yifan and his mother in first, and let Director Zhou take a look."

"good."

The female assistant responded, opened the door and walked out.

Xu Ke was still seducing, trying to facilitate this matter.

The Hong Kong film industry has become increasingly difficult to get into, and he is now moving closer to the Beijing film industry. If he can help Wu Yifan get a role, he will be doing himself a favor.

After a while, Wu Yifan, mother and son, walked into the reception room.

"Director Zhou, Director Xu, hello, I am Fanfan's mother, and I am also his agent."

Mother Wu showed a flattering smile as soon as she entered the door, and her words were full of flattery.

After introducing himself first, he began to introduce Wu Yifan: "My Fanfan is very hardworking because he is practicing for his debut, and he has a very large number of fans throughout Southeast Asia..."

"Okay, stop for a moment."

Zhou Xingchi raised his hand to interrupt Wu's mother's thoughts of continuing.

For him, Wu Yifan's only advantage is that he is relatively popular and can attract some box office, nothing more.

"Let's do an impromptu performance first."

Zhou Xingchi picked up the script and pointed out a plot to Wu Yifan at random.

Wu Yifan took the script and nodded, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

He knew that improvisation was both a challenge and an opportunity for actors, but at this moment, his heart was beating like a rabbit.

With Zhou Xingchi's "Action", the scene instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

However, when Wu Yifan tried to integrate into the character and started his improvisational performance, the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

His movements seemed very stiff, and the pauses and tone of his lines seemed out of place, as if he was reciting the lines rather than truly emotionally involved.

Scenes that were supposed to be full of tension became bland and even a little embarrassing under his interpretation.

Seeing this scene, the expectation on Zhou Xingchi's face gradually disappeared, replaced by deep disappointment.

He slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Xu Ke. Although he didn't say anything, his doubts were revealed in his eyes.

"Is this the actor you introduced to me?"

Xu Ke looked a little embarrassed, and quickly added: "As we all know, you are the most professional in training actors, or at the worst, you can tailor a guest role for him, with just a few minutes of footage."

Wu Yifan obviously knew that his performance was very poor, so he had no choice but to laugh at him.

After all, this is not Xu Jinglei's crew. The latter just took a fancy to his face and didn't care about his acting skills at all.

But Zhou Xingchi is different. People require actors to have acting skills.

"You two go out first."

Zhou Xingchi turned his head and looked at Wu Mu and Wu Yifan.

"Okay, Director Zhou, please excuse me."

Mother Wu smiled apologetically, glanced at Xu Ke calmly from the corner of her eye, turned around and pulled Wu Yifan out of the room.

She knew very well that if it was just an ordinary audition, then Wu Yifan could turn around and leave. His acting skills were simply not worthy of the "Mermaid" crew.

But what is happening now is resource replacement, which is very different from ordinary auditions.

After watching Wu Yifan and his daughter leave, Xu Ke looked at Zhou Xingchi: "Director Zhou..."

Zhou Xingchi frowned and responded: "I can't give you an answer now."

In fact, he really wanted to agree to Xu Ke, or in other words, from the moment Chen Fei said "We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket", he has been willing to accept all methods that can increase the box office.

But the most critical issue is that this movie is not exclusively produced by Xinghui!

Several other companies jointly provided 2/3 of the funds. How could he be allowed to make modifications based on the original script at will?

"I need to contact several other investors. If I can get their approval, then it is not impossible to add a few minutes to him."

Xu Ke raised his eyebrows slightly: "Feiyue Film and Television, China Film and Television, China Film and Television?"

"That's right."

Zhou Xingchi took out his mobile phone and found Chen Fei's phone number, preparing to contact the largest investor in "Mermaid" first.

Xu Ke smiled cheerfully on the side. He and Chen Fei had a pretty good relationship, and he could also say a few nice words to Wu Yifan later.

…

At this time, in the conference room of the General Administration.

As one of the representatives, Chen Fei was sitting in the second row under the rostrum, watching the "war of words" in the venue.

Different from previous industry conferences, the attendees this time were the heads of various associations, as well as those old guys who are rooted in the review team, as well as some legal personnel and heads of the media system.

And the main reason for these people to quarrel was the draft document drafted by the General Administration.

Accompanied by the noise, Chen Fei's eyes were once again on the document.

When he saw the point that "extramarital cheating is not included in the scope of the ban on bad artists", he knew in his heart that the above still opened a loophole for the entertainment industry.

But it is normal to think about it. After all, extramarital cheating can only be regarded as a moral issue and does not violate the law.

And if you are banned because of extramarital cheating, 99% of the people in the entire entertainment industry may be finished!

After all, using the body for "mutual benefit" is already an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry.

As for the emblem guy, he is just asking for death!

If he is not too high-profile and does not promote his good man's personality, how could he encounter the whole network abuse and criticism of fans?

And now, the main reason for the quarrel is the intensity of punishment.

According to the definition of the General Administration, as long as it involves pornography, gambling, and drugs, it will be completely banned in the scope of movies, television, radio, variety shows, and business performances.

At the same time, works with bad artists must also be edited and not allowed to appear.

And this time limit will last until the bad artist dies,

In other words, the ban period is "indefinite and permanent!"

When this rule appeared, it was immediately opposed by major associations.

Li Shaohong, the president of the Directors Association, stood up with a frown and questioned: "Director Tong, I think this rule is very unreasonable. After all, even if it is a crime, you can still get a suspended sentence or a commuted sentence. It doesn't make sense for us to be so decisive!

If this is a permanent ban, wouldn't it completely ruin the actors' acting career? Force them to a dead end?"

An old man from the Screenwriters Association also stood up: "Yes, I agree with Director Li. I propose to cancel the "permanent" rule. At most, we can set a longer time limit to let them deeply recognize their mistakes."

An old man from the review team also stood up: "For minor mistakes, you can be fined for one or two years, and for more serious ones, you can be fined for four or five years, so that they can remember it for a long time.

But a permanent ban, what's the difference between this and the death penalty? It's really too much."

Chen Fei recognized this sanctimonious old man. Isn't this Lu Tailang's father!

Lu Tailang tried to make a comeback several times before, but Chen Fei suppressed them all.

His father had asked someone to mediate between them, hoping that Chen Fei and Lu Chuan would make peace, but Chen Fei ruthlessly refused.

The two had already had a grudge against each other.

Chen Fei did not indulge him at this moment, and sneered and said: "One or two years? Four or five years? What's the difference between this and playing?

Ban is ban, either ban or not, is there still a saying of suspended sentence and commutation of sentence?

They are taking drugs on the stage, enjoying fame and wealth, do they want those drug enforcement police who sacrificed themselves in the audience to applaud and cheer for them?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Tailang's father was speechless.

And the few people who were about to stand up just raised their buttocks, and then quickly fell down, and for a while they did not dare to agree.

Chen Fei's words were undoubtedly putting everyone on the scene on the fire, and whoever dared to oppose him would mean standing on the side of breaking the law and committing a crime.

The old men are already old, and now they are all pursuing "fame". How could they put themselves in an embarrassing situation?

"I support a comprehensive ban."

Labeikang raised his hand and gave full affirmation.

As Tong Gang's direct line and Chen Fei's ally, he naturally supported the suggestions of the leaders and partners unswervingly.

"Anyone else objects?"

On the rostrum, Tong Gang's eyes swept over the people on the scene, full of scrutiny.

No one dared to look at him, all of them were silent, and said nothing.

"Then let's do it, all public figures involved in the scope of bad artists will be banned permanently through all channels!"

The big leader made the final decision, and many people on the scene were sweating on their foreheads, but they did not dare to have any objections.

At the end of the meeting, many people gnashed their teeth and stared at Chen Fei, but he ignored them all.

It's just the anger of a bunch of bugs, what's there to be afraid of?

...

Leaving the conference hall with Labeikang, the moment he stood in the sun, Chen Fei felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

No matter how many people he offended, no matter how many people he was hostile to, he had a clear conscience!

For these social pests, what are we waiting for if we don't eradicate them? Wait for them to continue committing crimes?

"You have offended a lot of people in these meetings."

Labei Kang frowned on the side, secretly worried about Chen Fei.

"Don't worry, they are just a bunch of clowns. Even if they are offended, what's the problem? If you are dissatisfied, you can come to me."

Chen Fei has made up his mind.

At most, he will just fight against the enemy and cover the water.

Moreover, he will not sit and wait for death!

"Dinglingling."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the chat between Chen Fei and Labei Kang.

Taking out the mobile phone from his pocket, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the name "Zhou Xingchi" on the caller ID.

"Is the casting over?"

Muttering to himself, he pressed the connect button casually.

Zhou Xingchi's voice came from the phone: "Director Chen, are you busy?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this." Zhou Xingchi cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Director Xu Ke recommended someone to me, hoping to have a cameo in "The Mermaid" for a few minutes. I just want to hear your opinion."

Hearing this, La Beikang, who was about to walk away, also stopped and looked back curiously.

In the entire film and television industry, whenever the word "recommendation" appears, without exception, all of them have to go through the back door.

Both of them were very curious about who could actually invite Xu Ke to go through this back door.

Chen Fei frowned slightly and asked: "Who? What's his name?"

"Wu Yifan is the idol artist who is very popular recently. He has a group of very loyal young female fans. If he can join, it may help the box office of the film..."

However, listening to Zhou Xingchi's words, Chen Fei suddenly showed a sneer on his face.

This group of people in the Beijing circle are just like cockroaches, they are really omnipresent!
