Chapter 747 When More and More Doubts Came, I Knew I Was About to Succeed!

After making an appointment with Matt Damon to meet in the capital, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

He never thought that this guy was still so "unlucky" and that he still fell into a trap after pretending.

What was very entangled was that he had not been able to remind the other party that "The Great Wall" was a trap, and from Matt Damon's tone, he seemed to be quite interested in this project and the script.

At this stage, Chen Fei had no choice but to let him try it first.

…

The audition and casting of "The Great Wall" has now entered a white-hot stage.

There are a large number of media reporters outside the China Film Academy every day, and relevant information will appear on the Internet from time to time, thus triggering the focus.

Whether it is an actor from the mainland or Hong Kong, as long as he enters and leaves the China Film Academy, he will inevitably be captured by the camera and then exposed on the Internet.

At noon, Chen Fei just logged into Weibo and saw several new messages on the hot search list:

"Matt Damon, the top Hollywood actor and Oscar winner, appeared at the Capital Airport and arrived at China Film Group, suspected to be for the casting of "The Great Wall."

"After many years, Zhang Ziyi met Zhang Yimou again. The two sides had a good chat. The latter is ambitious and aims directly at the leading actress!"

"The trailer of the TV series "Red Sorghum" exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television has been released. Zhou Xun reappeared as a young girl, and her acting skills are no less than before."

Looking at the last news about "Red Sorghum", Chen Fei was in a trance for a moment.

"Huh? "The Journey of Flower" has already been broadcast?"

He has never paid much attention to the TV business, because Jiang Xueruo has always been in full charge of this aspect.

Now seeing the news of "Red Sorghum", it is inevitable to be a little surprised.

After forwarding a promotional draft, Chen Fei put the matter behind his mind.

He had seen the finished film of Red Sorghum before. The quality was very good. In addition, Zhou Xun and Zhu Yawen supported the plot together. The ratings and revenue should not be too bad.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

The sudden ring of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.

He took a look at Wang Changtian's name marked on the caller ID and pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Wang? What's the matter?"

Wang Changtian's voice was a little surprised on the other end of the phone: "Have you received the invitation to the cocktail party from Jiaxing?"

"Jiaxing? Yang Mi's company?"

"Yes, that's it."

Chen Fei blinked in confusion: "No, I haven't received any news here. Cocktail party? What kind of nature?"

Wang Changtian thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be some investment cocktail party. I heard that Jiaxing seems to be preparing for the first round of financing, and it is obviously going to go public."

Jiaxing? Go public?

No matter how he thought about it, Chen Fei couldn't equate these two words.

A company that mainly engages in artist management business and relies entirely on outsourcing for its own production business, how can it be qualified for listing?

Even if it gets financing, how can it spend the money?

"With such a big step, aren't you afraid of pulling it?"

"That's right." Wang Changtian couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "I knew before that Yang Mi and her agent were very ambitious, but I never thought that they were so ambitious!"

"Why don't you go and take a look, Mr. Wang? Maybe there is a trump card. It has only been two years since it was established, and it dares to raise funds. It is obvious that there is a trump card hidden."

Faced with Chen Fei's obviously joking words, Wang Changtian unexpectedly became serious: "Okay, I'll go and take a look when the time comes. I'll let you know if there is any news."

The two were chatting about Jiaxing, and at this time, the atmosphere on Yang Mi and Zeng Jia's side was a little abnormal.

"Why did you intercept the invitation letter to the investment reception sent to Feiyue Film and Television?"

In the office, Yang Mi frowned, staring at Zeng Jia, her face full of confusion and questioning.

She has made a lot of efforts recently. After filming every day, she has to go out for social events at night, and even has to endure some old guys deliberately taking advantage of her.

And she does all this so that Jiaxing Film and Television can successfully complete its listing in the future.

It is precisely because of the many social events that she finally concluded that Feiyue Film and Television is one of the best investors in the entire entertainment industry, and it is even better than the investment companies or investors she has met these days.

Based on this, she believes that Feiyue Film and Television should also be invited to participate in the next investment reception.

But what she never expected was that Zeng Jia actually intercepted the invitation letter she sent to Feiyue Film and Television, which made her very confused.

"Because I think your invitation letter is meaningless. How could Feiyue Film and Television look down on Jiaxing, a small company?"

Although she said so, Zeng Jia was thinking in her heart: Feiyue Film and Television must not be allowed to come, otherwise if they really look down on it, it will be a big trouble!

What she wants is absolute control, but if an "insider" intervenes, it will go against her original intention.

"Whether someone likes you or not and whether someone invites you or not are two different things, right? If you don't even invite someone, how do you know that someone will not like you?"

Yang Mi's words left Zeng Jia speechless.

After all, everything she did was originally for the good of the company.

But Zeng Jia had other thoughts.

In the end, Zeng Jia, who was currently only the nominal head of Jiaxing Company, still couldn't stop Yang Mi. He watched her call her assistant and successfully send out the invitation letter.

"You are just trying to get a cold shoulder."

Zeng Jia muttered, and began to think about it again.

She could warmly welcome other companies, but she must not let Feiyue Film and Huayi interfere in any of Jiaxing's affairs!

Once they interfere, it would be a big trouble.

...

As time passed, the calendar quietly turned to the anticipated 27th.

On this day, the TV series "Red Sorghum" officially landed on the screen with its unique charm and exquisite production, living up to the expectations of thousands of viewers.

Only two days after the broadcast, the show quickly swept the audience's attention like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves!

Its ratings not only remained high, but also firmly occupied the top three thrones in the country at the same time, which was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of the quality of the show and the performance of the actors.

In the play, Zhou Xun's role of "Jiu'er" has become the focus of everyone's attention with its unique charm and profound emotional interpretation.

Although this role is different in style from Jiu'er played by Gong Li in the movie version of "Red Sorghum", Zhou Xun successfully showed Jiu'er's tenacity, bravery and tenderness with his in-depth understanding of the role and superb acting skills, and won unanimous praise from the audience.

And this performance is also a gorgeous return of Zhou Xun after many years away from the small screen.

She proved with her own strength that no matter how time passes, her love and persistence for acting have never changed.

In the play, every appearance of Jiu'er seems to bring a double feast of vision and emotion to the audience, which makes people can't help but be moved.

It can be said that Zhou Xun's return to the TV screen this time not only adds infinite brilliance to the play "Red Sorghum", but also injects a new vitality into the entire film and television industry!

"Sister Xun, I have arranged a celebration party for Red Sorghum. We will meet in the capital after you and your wife return from your honeymoon."

On July 31 this year, Zhou Xun and her boyfriend Gao Shengyuan officially registered their marriage.

For the promotion of Red Sorghum, Zhou Xun had to postpone her honeymoon.

It was not until the show was officially registered with the TV station that she finally had some free time and went to the Maldives with her new husband.

"Haha, OK, see you in the capital."

Zhou Xun's laughter sounded on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that she was excited at the moment.

The TV series was a big hit, her career was a success, and she had just married her boyfriend, and the two were getting very close.

She was now having double happiness, how could she not be happy?

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei handed the phone to his assistant and walked into the set again.

"All departments, get ready, 3-2-1...Action!"

Kang Honglei and Li Bingbin were sitting behind the monitor, watching the performance of the male No. 2 played by Chen Fei.

In the picture, veins popped up on his neck, which was a manifestation of extreme emotional excitement.

After catching the drug dealer who abducted, defiled, and forced his girlfriend to death during the chase, he did not choose to abide by the "discipline", but killed the other party by "swallowing the gun"!

And this scene happened right in front of the male No. 1 Zhang Hanyu.

With a "bang", the brain mixed with blood made by the props team all splashed on the surrounding bushes and leaves.

Although this scene was very bloody in the camera, it was very refreshing!

Before shooting this scene, Chen Fei specifically told the camera crew to capture this shot in its entirety.

He would not cut this shot, and he was going to release it in its entirety.

As for the review department, if there are any objections, let them talk to the people from the Golden Shield and the public security department.

A whole morning passed quickly.

As Kang Honglei shouted "click", the entire crew seemed to have pressed the pause button, and everyone quickly withdrew from the roles they were currently playing.

Chen Fei reached out and pulled up the "drug dealer" lying on the ground, patted his shoulder, and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you okay?"

He himself is a martial artist, and there is no problem shooting such fighting scenes.

But the supporting actors who acted with him suffered a little, and bumps and bruises were the norm.

"Director Chen, don't worry, I'm fine." Aruna grinned and patted the dust on her chest. She looked in very good condition.

Chen Fei nodded gently and remembered the actor in front of him.

Whether in terms of image or acting skills, he is the best choice to play a villain.

...

In a blink of an eye, time has come to the last day of October.

A large number of media accounts have emerged on Weibo and started to do the end-of-month summary work in the film and television industry.

"The comedy film "Detective Chinatown" exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, directed by Wang Shiliang, and starring Wang Baoqiang, Huang Xiaoming, Xiao Yang, Zhang Ruoyun, Tong Liya, etc. has officially ended its release cycle and was successfully taken off the screen, with a total box office of 1.368 billion yuan!"

"The Sino-foreign co-production "Five Minutes Before Midnight" produced by Tangren has been removed from the shelves due to the exhaustion of its box office potential, and the total box office closed at 9.96 million."

"The TV series "Red Sorghum" has set a new record in ratings, and the number of online single episode clicks has exceeded 20 million!"

"The third episode of the variety show "Running Man" was released, and the single-episode ratings exceeded 8.7, successfully breaking the ratings record of Mango TV's "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "The Hunger Games 3: Phoenix" officially landed in domestic theaters at 12 o'clock last night, and the midnight box office successfully exceeded 10 million!"

A total of five hot searches, three of which are closely related to Feiyue Film and Television, and one is closely related to Chen Fei.

At this moment, many red-eyed monsters appeared in the film and television industry.

Movies, TV shows, variety shows, all sold well, this income...even several film and television companies that have already gone public in the industry can't catch up!

"Mr. Chen, the celebration party for Detective Chinatown is going to be held in the capital. Do you want to attend?"

After receiving the notification call from Su Guohai, Chen Fei thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused: "Forget it, you go instead of me, I won't go back."

Hollywood is about to reach the final moment of the award rush, and he plans to catch up with the progress of Operation Mekong to ensure that he has free time to participate in the final stage of public relations work.

"Okay."

On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai responded and mentioned another thing: "By the way, Jiaxing has also sent an invitation letter for investment."

Jiaxing?

Chen Fei suddenly remembered the call from Wang Changtian two days ago.

He thought Jiaxing was not going to invite Feiyue Film and Television at that time, but he didn't expect that the invitation letter would finally arrive, although late.

"You go and see what they are doing."

"Okay."

Su Guohai agreed very readily.

...

In the blink of an eye, November 1st came quietly.

As expected by the industry, with no competitors in the same period, "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay" successfully achieved a good result of 87.96 million yuan in the first day box office.

After seeing this number, many people have already moved their eyes away from the November movie market and are waiting for the Lunar New Year holiday.

Because only then will it be the carnival time for domestic movies!

Early in the morning, the hot search topics were all focused on three news.

In addition to the box office results of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay", the news that the host of Mango TV was preparing to cross the industry to become a director followed closely.

The content of the script has been exposed. Like "My Deskmate", it is also adapted from a song. The name of the script is "Gardenia Blossoms".

Just listen to the name and you will know that this is another youth-themed movie.

Perhaps because of the good popularity, when the news came out, looking at the entire circle, all the voices of congratulations and congratulations were heard, and no one jumped out to sing a different tune.

Coupled with the hype, public relations, and marketing of Mango TV, the popularity of the movie has soared, and it has a tendency to become popular before it is filmed and sell well as soon as it is released.

Compared with the script of "Gardenia Blossoms", the controversy about the third hot search is much greater!

"The outdoor reality show "Extreme Challenge", jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Guangguang Media, and Youku, officially announced the second permanent guest today, that is, Sun Honglei!"

When this news came out, the entire entertainment industry, including all netizens, was completely confused.

At first, when the program team officially announced that the first guest was "Huang Bo", many netizens raised doubts.

However, because of Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence reply on Weibo, the public opinion was finally suppressed.

And now, when Sun Honglei officially announced that he would become the second permanent guest of "Extreme Challenge", the public opinion that was suppressed with great difficulty was overturned again!

"Fuck, is the program team planning to use Sun Honglei to challenge the audience's limits? Will he scare the children to tears when he appears on the screen?"

"Sun Honglei joined "Go Fighting"? Hey, now it's good, just change the name of the program to "Go Fighting", after all, who can escape unscathed from Brother Hong Hong's machete?"

"The program team has invited a 'destroyer'. Once Sun Honglei comes, I guess even the rules of the game have to be re-established, otherwise how can he play enough!"

"I heard that Sun Honglei will be a permanent resident, and I'm already worried about the safety of the program team's props. After all, in his eyes, everything can be destroyed."

"Why do I feel that the style of this variety show is completely different from "Running Man"? Huang Bo is ugly, Sun Honglei is fierce, and the next one won't be a vicious type? Can this guarantee the ratings of the show?"

There are more and more doubts on the Internet, all of which are pessimistic about this variety show.

Fade Chen doesn't know how many people are water armies here, and even if he knows, he won't care about it.

If you just use some not-so-good reviews to make him stop, then the operator behind the scenes is totally overthinking.

Because no one knows better than him how strong the potential of this variety show is!

…

The next day, due to the release of the two imported blockbusters "Maze Runner" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows", many people's attention was withdrawn from "Go Fighting".

However, even so, there are still many accounts posting some negative comments under the official website of "Go Fighting".

Just when Gu Yongqiang was thinking about whether he needed to use some means to control the comments, a notice issued by China Film attracted everyone's attention!

"The male lead of the Chinese-foreign co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall" has been confirmed, and Hollywood's top actor and Oscar winner Matt Damon will officially join the filming of the film."

As soon as the news came out, the mainland was completely shocked!

Jointly produced by China Film + Universal Pictures, with a basic investment of US$150 million, directed by top domestic director Zhang Yimou, and distributed globally...

The above conditions are already very impressive, and now suddenly there is news that Oscar winner Matt Damon will join it and serve as the male lead.

Isn't this a proper top team?

For a time, countless female celebrities rushed to the top like crazy, all thinking of taking this opportunity to complete both their celebrity status and their net worth, and successfully go to Hollywood!

However, Chen Fei, who was on the set of "Operation Mekong", couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw the news.

"Matt! You are so unlucky, you are completely in trouble this time!"
