Chapter 740 The Power of National Sentiment! The Document Is Out! If You Don't Want to Step on the Sewing Machine, Then Be Honest.

Chen Fei found an excuse not to answer Fan Bingbing's call, but he couldn't do the same for Zhou Xun's call.

In the car, after answering Zhou Xun's call, he answered directly without waiting for the other party to ask: "I know what you want to ask, don't worry about it, I have already refused."

"Ah???"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun was stunned.

Although she didn't see the script of "The Great Wall", looking at the history of domestic films, this kind of project is really rare.

$150 million investment, China Film and Universal Pictures production, global distribution, big heroine project, magical action epic...

No matter which condition, it is enough to make the entire Chinese film industry, even the production industry, film and television entertainment companies, brokerage companies, and actor and artist groups salivate.

For all actors, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity to break into Hollywood!

But Chen Fei never expected that he would refuse!

"You...what do you think? You rejected such a big project?"

"What do you think? Is this project big? And I have to leave in a few days to shoot "Operation Mekong", where do I have time to take on new projects?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xun was stunned again.

In a trance, she suddenly realized that this kind of project, which seemed very "rich" in the whole circle, seemed to be just that for Chen Fei.

"Well, comparing people can really make people angry!"

Zhou Xun sighed repeatedly and hung up the phone with regret.

The car had not moved forward for ten minutes when the phone rang again. Chen Fei looked down and saw that it was Huang Xiaoming calling.

"Alas."

He sighed, answered the phone and explained briefly, and then went on Weibo to post an announcement:

"I'm sorry to tell you that due to schedule reasons, I did not accept the invitation to direct the movie "The Great Wall."

Simply a simple announcement, but the effect it triggered was not simple.

The news spread quickly, and many people in the circle were suddenly enlightened after reading it!

"From the information revealed by Labeikang, it can be seen that the director must be one of the top domestic ones. Since Director Chen Fei has withdrawn, there are not many left."

"Brother Chen Kai danced happily? Has he finished the post-production of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"? "

"Fuck! Look at Wu Yu's dynamics, he has already flown to the capital."

"Why are the Hong Kong circle here to join in the fun? Get out of here quickly."

"I don't know if Liu Yifei has agreed to play the leading role? At present, it seems that she is more suitable than any other female star, right?"

A lot of "experts" suddenly appeared on the Internet and began to make various analyses, attracting a large number of people to watch and discuss.

Chen Fei is now debt-free. After posting on Weibo, no one bothered him.

Back to the villa, he began to pack up his things, ready to set off to the Golden Triangle for filming at any time.

…

"Tiantian, I have good news for you. Liu Yifei has clearly refused to play the leading female role in "The Great Wall". Your chance is still the greatest at the moment."

On the Xingguang Canlan side, after receiving feedback, Lu Zheng immediately told Jingtian the good news.

"Okay, Uncle Lu, I got it."

Jingtian responded, but she didn't seem particularly happy.

Although she had another chance to get the leading female role, the problem was that the director she was working with was no longer Chen Fei.

She actually wanted to be as happy as Lu Zheng, but she couldn't get excited.

The next day, after "The Great Wall", another piece of movie information suddenly came from the Hong Kong circle, which made the mainland film circle a little confused!

After the failure of the bad movie "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", Xinghao Films actually made a sequel.

When the name "Journey to the West: Monkey King 3 Fights the White Bone Demon" appeared in the ears of the people in the mainland film circle, many people were a little suspicious.

Will it not be another bad movie?

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong, because according to Hong Kong media reports, this new film is not as bad as the previous one.

"The total investment of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3: The White Bone Demon" produced by Xinghao Films is as high as 450 million yuan, and the starring lineup is Guo Fucheng and Gong Li, which is an extremely luxurious lineup!"

"Gong Huang plays the villain White Bone Demon for the first time, and will show extraordinary beauty and temptation."

"Mainland actors Feng Shaofeng and Xiao Shenyang both announced that they will join "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3: The White Bone Demon", and will play Tang Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie, adding comedy scenes to it."

A lot of press releases from the producer's side have been issued, but unfortunately, this movie is also born at the wrong time.

In the face of the attention and topic volume of "The Great Wall", it was abused very badly. No matter how hard the producer tried, it could not push the news of the new project to the top of the hot search list.

The main reason is that the meaning of the two words "Great Wall" is too extraordinary, which is simply not comparable to other big-budget movies.

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, once it is added with "national sentiment", the effect will be different.

However, even though "The Great Wall" is extremely popular, many people still joined the discussion of "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3 Fights the White Bone Demon".

What the producers never expected was that although the project was promoted by Guo Fucheng and Gong Li, the most mentioned person was the unlucky Zhen Zixuan.

Back then, Zhen Gongfu still vowed to deepen the "Journey to the West theme".

But now, as soon as the second part came out, he was kicked out by the producer.

"You will suffer for your own sins."

Fade Chen curled his lips and completely disdained those online press releases that were still praising Zhen Zixuan.

The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" project sounds very good, but it would be a miracle if it could succeed!

～

"Director Kang? How are your preparations going... Well, I will go there on time in ten days, and we will meet at the shooting location... You don't have to worry about the actors. After the opening ceremony and the scenes in the capital are over, I will charter a plane with them to fly there..."

On a new morning, after talking to Kang Honglei on the phone, Fei Chen contacted Su Guohai and made a series of plans and arrangements for "Operation Mekong".

Originally, he was going to start shooting directly, which would save a lot of procedural troubles.

And investors such as China Film, Guangguang, and Wanda didn't care about this. Anyway, everything was done according to his ideas.

However, the Golden Shield Film and Television Investment Company under the Ministry of Public Security strongly requested the crew to hold a press conference, and also stated that this was the idea of ​​the leaders.

Chen Fei could not find any reason to refuse.

The Ministry gave so many "green lights" and "conveniences", and cooperated in various ways throughout the process. If such a small request is not agreed, it would be a bit too much.

And according to the person in charge of Golden Shield, there is a high probability that there will be big leaders to attend and even speak at that time.

In this regard, he expressed his pleasure to accept.

The stronger the platform, the smoother the film will be.

Anyone who dares to block him in the procedure is an enemy of the country and the people, and will scare the old guys who review to death.

"Dinglingling!"

A rapid phone ring suddenly rang, interrupting Chen Fei's fantasy.

Looking at the name of Labeikang on the caller ID, Chen Fei frowned slightly.

What's the situation? Is this person not ready to give up? Is this forcing him to come up with a wave of "strict rejection"?

With doubts, Chen Fei pressed the connect button.

The next second, La Peikang's voice came out from the receiver: "As you wish, the above document... has come out."

"Huh?!"

Chen Fei's heart was shocked, and he opened his laptop and searched directly for the official microblog of the General Administration.

At this time, there were many people who did the same thing as him. All the industry insiders in the entire mainland, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, paid attention to it at the first time.

Looking around, the bright red letterhead concisely included all the direct management departments of the domestic television and broadcasting systems at all levels from top to bottom, and also covered the film channels, the upstream and downstream of the film and television production industry, and major state-owned enterprises and institutions such as China Film and Shanghai Film.

Seeing this scene, all practitioners in the relevant industries felt a tingling scalp, and they felt that a butcher's knife was suddenly placed on their heads!

"Notice on Strengthening the Management of Entertainment Culture Production and Communication"

When this year's No. 100 red-headed document appeared, all media outlets were in action, and as for Weibo, Tieba and other platforms, it was already a big deal at this time!

"Hot news, the "Banned Order for Bad Artists" has been issued, and the film and television entertainment industry will be strictly restricted from now on!"

"According to the content of the document, public figures involved in drug-related, prostitution-related and other behaviors will be explicitly named and banned, but cheating, which violates morality, is not included."

"It is reported that all film and television cultural works such as movies, TV series, web series, micro-films, TV programs, variety shows, etc. that have bad artists participating in the performance and production are prohibited from being broadcast without deletion or remake, and have not been reviewed. All works that have been screened or broadcast will be removed from the shelves and can be put back on the shelves after modification!"

"I hope this knife can bring a bright future to the entertainment industry."

"Once the ban order is issued, the entertainment industry will surely usher in a bright moment!"

For a whole day, the voices of heated discussion have never stopped.

Many media have also conducted in-depth analysis of this document, laying it out nakedly and placing it in front of everyone in the domestic entertainment industry.

At this moment, those who still have a fluke in their hearts have finally given up completely.

Even though many people are very reluctant and unwilling to accept this fact, the document has been issued, and there is no choice but to comply!

On the other hand, those netizens said all kinds of things.

"Support! Strong support! The ban is good, and these people should see that they will be beaten after making mistakes, and they must not think of running away!"

"Hahaha, it's good to hear and see. My "See You Tomorrow" is fine, but Guo Jingming is going to be unlucky. "Tiny Times 4" is over, and the other three movies are also over."

"Since it is banned, it should be banned all at once, and there is absolutely no possibility for them to continue to make a comeback."

"Brother, we will wait for you, we will wait for you forever!"

"It's all because of that damn Chen Fei, who caused my brother to suffer such a disaster now. I curse that every movie you make in the future will lose money and the company will go bankrupt..."

~

Chen Fei didn't pay any attention to those crazy people on the Internet.

As soon as he read the content of the document, he contacted Youku and asked Gu Yongqiang to give feedback in time.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry. We are the first company to respond to the call. We conducted a self-inspection as soon as the document was issued."

Although the restrictions on online broadcast channels are not particularly strict, in order to avoid trouble or even being caught, Gu Yongqiang still used a sharp knife to cut through the mess.

The company had already selected the list before.

But now, just cut it across the board and be done with it.

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded, very satisfied with Gu Yongqiang's way of coping.

As a leader among broadcast platforms, Youku must set an example. Only by responding to calls and complying with public opinion can we live longer and go further.

It goes without saying how powerful this document is.

Anyway, when Chen Fei arrived at the company, he heard that many movies had been withdrawn from theaters.

There are only two endings left for these movies.

Either it will be completely dead, or it will be re-edited and then released online.

Those movies that only use bad actors as supporting characters are okay, but movies that use bad actors as protagonists are miserable!

For example: Anle Pictures.

On the afternoon of the day when the document was issued, Anle Pictures issued an announcement stating that it would cancel the large-scale media meeting for "Monster Hunt" originally scheduled to be held in Shanghai on October 9.

Other movies can be edited casually and then continue to be released in theaters to make money, but "Monster Hunt" is in too deep!

After all, Ke Zhendong is the leading male lead in this movie. If all his scenes were cut, how much money would he make?

As expected, with the cancellation of the media meeting, Anle Pictures announced that "Monster Hunt" would be withdrawn and re-filmed to seek opportunities for another release.

And this also means that the pressure on the Spring Festival stalls will be much less.

It's Wanda's fault. Ye Ning just signed a distribution agreement with Anle Pictures not long ago. Now that something like this suddenly happened, it will definitely be affected.

…

Chen Fei seemed to suddenly understand why Golden Shield wanted to hold a launch press conference for "Operation Mekong", and they chose the CPPCC Auditorium as the venue.

If nothing else, it should be related to the red-headed document.

On the morning of the 26th, Chen Fei appeared in the CPPCC auditorium within the specified time.

There is still half an hour before the start time of the press conference, but the venue is already buzzing with people. Representatives from major film and television companies have come to the scene. They are full of laughter and the atmosphere seems to be quite lively.

Although the interests of many people were harmed because of that document, no one dared to complain.

Outside the venue, although many curious media and enthusiastic fans gathered, they were strictly restricted.

Only a few carefully selected authoritative media and a few well-known online platforms were allowed to enter and record this grand event.

As soon as Chen Fei walked to La Geikang, he heard Wang Changtian standing beside him sighing: "Today's security level should be the highest I have ever seen."

The "security" he refers to naturally refers to those people wearing uniforms and standing tall who patrol the public security system throughout the venue.

Their presence undoubtedly added some solemnity and solemnity to the event.

La Geikang echoed: "That's right. I heard that there seems to be a higher leader coming over. For safety reasons, this specification is normal."

Hearing the sound, Chen Fei raised his eyes and looked around.

All the main creators of "Operation Mekong" have arrived at the scene and are gathering together, waiting for the official launch conference to begin.

When Liu Shishi saw him, he seemed to want to come over and say hello, but was blocked by Chen Fei's look.

Today's occasion is not very suitable for socializing.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the venue suddenly became quiet.

Chen Fei followed everyone's gaze and looked at the door of the auditorium, and saw a serious-looking deputy ministerial leader walking in first, followed by a group of people in uniforms.

La Geikang took the lead to greet him, and Chen Fei also followed him and walked towards that direction.

The two parties greeted each other and then officially launched the launch conference.

Chen Fei brought a group of creative members to the stage, as if reporting work, facing dozens of uniformed leaders and cameras from major official media.

"Hello everyone, I'm Sabei Nang, and I'm also the host of today's launch conference for the movie "Operation Mekong"..."

As a program host who came out of the legal column, Sabei's professional level and emotional intelligence are undoubtedly beyond doubt, and he was very good at hosting the whole process.

Chen Fei once wondered if Zhang Ziyi was out of his mind? Faced with such a high-quality potential stock, he would actually give up on him after using it!

Unfortunately, he still couldn't get a clear answer.

It's not like Chen Fei has never made a main theme movie. The previous "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is the best example.

However, in comparison, he feels that "Operation Mekong" seems to be more inclined to the term "main theme".

All the creative members, including him as the director, never spoke more than ten sentences from beginning to end!

In most cases, it was the various leaders and department heads who spoke, constantly describing the dangers of drugs and the tragedy that year.

After more than an hour, the launch conference finally ended successfully.

Normally, the next step would be for everyone to eat, drink, and socialize with each other. But when the staff led the guests to the canteen behind the CPPCC auditorium, everyone was stunned!

In a place like this, who dares to walk around, make noise and socialize?

So, a very quiet launch conference banquet session just appeared.

At the same time, the news about the launch conference of the movie "Operation Mekong" also appeared on major news websites.

"On the morning of September 26, the launch conference of the movie "Operation Mekong" was held in the CPPCC auditorium. Many leaders attended and delivered important speeches."

"Operation Mekong, jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television, China Film, Shanghai Film, Golden Shield, Wanda, and Guangguang, directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbin, Chen Baoguo, Liu Shishi and others, will officially start shooting in Beijing tomorrow morning..."

"It is reported that the filming location will go deep into the Golden Triangle, restore the real scene, and deeply show the crisis and danger of drug control!"

Looking around, the media reports are very serious, and no entertainment reporter or paparazzi dares to "joke" about this movie.

At this juncture, they don't want to go in and step on the sewing machine.
