Chapter 750: Announcement to the Entertainment Industry? Magical Operation of Golden Horse Awards: Operation Mekong Is Finished!
Chen Fei was busy filming the filming of Operation Mekong, but he received a call from Han Sanping, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
He came up and told her the good news: "The post-production of The Hundred Regiments Offensive has been completed. When you come back, we will take a look at it together. If there is no problem, I will submit it for review."
"Okay."
Chen Fei agreed immediately.
But what he didn't expect was that Han Sanping mentioned another thing: "The premiere of The Crossing (Part 1) will be held at the beginning of next month. You should be able to make it back, right?"
Chen Fei glanced at the shooting schedule and replied: "Almost. What? Is Mr. Han going to announce it to the entire entertainment industry?"
"That's right!"
Han Sanping was not modest. As the chief producer of The Crossing, he was very confident at this time!
"I have already said it in front of the media. The Crossing will definitely be comparable to Titanic. The box office of the two films must be at least more than 2 billion..."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Fei couldn't help but sweat for Han Sanping as he kept bragging.
Double 1 billion+ box office? This bragging is really going to explode!
"President Han, why don't you keep a low profile? If you don't achieve this goal, I'm afraid you will be laughed at!"
"What? You don't trust me?"
After this, Chen Fei was speechless.
Han Sanping said so, what else can he do?
"Okay, I will make sure I'm on time."
After a few vague words, Chen Fei casually found an excuse and hung up the phone.
He was very puzzled, where did the confidence of the previous chairmen of China Film come from?
Whenever they encountered a big investment movie, they seemed to be possessed, and they would not cry until they saw the coffin, and they would not give up until they saw the Yellow River.
At first, he thought that Lapeikang would be better, but he didn't expect that it was the same with him.
Since the cast of "The Great Wall" was announced, the green light was given, and money was spent one after another.
What Chen Fei couldn't understand the most was that according to Lapeikang himself, the special effects and costumes of this movie were all handled by Universal Pictures.
He wanted to ask at that time, do these foreigners know what Chinese culture is?
Unfortunately, Lapeikang didn't listen at all at that time, and he was wholeheartedly hoping that the movie could start and finish smoothly and reap huge box office!
Helplessly, Chen Fei had to wish him good luck.
...
Another new day has arrived, and the words about "Feiyue Film and Television" have appeared on Weibo again.
"Recently, the TV series "The Best of Us", exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, has been successfully completed. The drama is adapted from August Changan's best-selling campus youth novel, telling the campus story of the post-80s generation in high school."
"The TV series "The Best of Us" depicts the three years of the heroine Geng Geng and the hero Yu Huai sitting at the same table with a nostalgic touch. With the end of filming, the drama has officially entered the post-production stage and is expected to meet the audience early next year."
"The screenwriter of "The Best of Us" appeared at the press conference and said that the competition among the screenwriters in the company is very fierce, but at the same time everyone has the opportunity to launch their own works in the form of TV series, movies, web series, etc..."
The news of the completion of this TV series did not cause much sensation in the circle. The main reason is that Huang Xiaoming made a wave of operations at the same time.
Facing the public opinion that his girlfriend was caught in the plastic surgery storm, he said in an interview with the media: "Would I not know whether she had plastic surgery or not? I can guarantee that every part of her body is complete and flawless..."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion.
Huang Xiaoming's words were so profound that people couldn't help but think about it in a crooked way.
That afternoon, perhaps the leader realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate, so he urgently contacted the public relations team.
Huayi also helped him and released a new film project, "Junior Class" that afternoon.
At first, many people didn't pay much attention, but when the cast of this film was announced, it immediately caused a lot of discussion!
As we all know, since Wang Jinghua left Huayi, the two sides have been in a state of never seeing each other again.
But what the industry never expected was that the main actors of this film controlled by Huayi were Zhou Dongyu and Dong Zijian, two artists under Wang Jinghua, and the latter was even her own son!
For a time, the Internet was very lively.
"Sure enough, there are no real enemies in the entertainment industry."
"Wow? Old rivals are starting to cooperate? Why does it feel like watching a magic drama?"
"Is Wang Jinghua going to return to the Huayi lineup again? Or are there any resource swaps between the two sides?"
"Look, Huayi's stock has risen again!"
"Tsk tsk, reconciliation? Precision cooperation? Boosting stock prices? Good tricks!"
...
As time passed quickly, November soon entered the second half of the month.
The filming progress of the "Operation Mekong" crew was very fast, and it has officially entered the final stage.
Compared with other crews, as long as Chen Fei is the director of the crew, they have always been famous for being "fast".
The reason why other crews shoot slowly, often taking three to five months, is basically because they shoot for a while and stop for a while, and there are many actors who overlap, the crew has more problems, and even the director himself has many problems.
For example, Wang Jiawei is famous for his slow shooting in the circle!
It took 13 years from preparation to release of "The Grandmaster", which is simply a pitfall!
It was also fortunate that the box office and word of mouth were still good after the release, otherwise those actors and fans would have torn him apart to vent their hatred.
But these problems will not happen with Chen Fei. His rule is that actors must stay in the crew unless you have finished all your scenes and left smoothly.
In this way, the progress will naturally be much faster.
It feels pretty good to speedboat on the Mekong River. Although Chen Fei had to pretend to be injured during the filming, he could play a few laps after the filming.
In this regard, the speedboat provider Jindun has no opinion at all.
Since Director Chen likes to race, let him race a few more times. What's there to object to?
…
At the same time, the Golden Horse Awards have officially opened.
From the news, we can see that many mainland filmmakers have flown over.
Although Taiwan is only a weak year for movies this year (that is, the overall strength of the films competing for the film festival awards is very different, and there is no possibility of mutual competition at all), this year's Golden Horse Awards is still being hyped up.
The main reason is Gong Li's participation.
Gong, who won the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival at the age of 27, has now won the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, and Golden Palm Awards for the films she has participated in, and the other Best Actress awards are countless.
Based on this, more than 90% of the industry insiders are very sure that Gong Li will definitely achieve the "Best Actress" Grand Slam when she attends the Golden Horse Awards ceremony this time!
After all, she only needs one Golden Horse Best Actress Award to win all the Best Actress awards in the country.
In addition, the quality of the movie "The Return" is not bad, so it can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that it will win the award.
However, what the entire domestic entertainment industry did not expect was that this year's Golden Horse Awards actually had an extremely "sexy" operation!
At the awards ceremony held on the 22nd, first, Hong Kong female director Xu Anhua defeated Diao Yinan, who had just won the Golden Bear Award at the beginning of the year, and won the Best Director Award.
Then, Chen Jianbin defeated Liu Qingyun and Liao Fan with "A Spoon" and won the Golden Horse Best Actor Award.
And in the Golden Horse Best Actress Award that was subsequently presented, a Taiwanese actress with few representative works actually defeated Gong Huang and was crowned the Golden Horse Best Actress!
When this result came out, the whole audience was shocked!
You know, even Zhao Yanzi and Tang Wei, who were also nominated for the Best Actress Award, never thought that they could take the Best Actress trophy from Gong Li.
But I never thought that the Best Actress Award was actually taken away by a Taiwanese actress who had never looked at it.
When the camera flashed over Gong Li, Zhao Yanzi, and Tang Wei at the award ceremony, none of them had a smile on their faces, but instead were full of coldness.
And then, the male host Huang Zijiao on the stage actually asked Gong Li to express her gratitude for not winning the award.
This move immediately angered Gong Huang.
In front of the TV screen, Chen Fei watched Gong Li take the microphone and angrily said in a tone that she was not waiting for him:
"Thank you very much for the Golden Horse Awards for letting me see how an unfair award ceremony is held and awarded. Here, I officially announce that this is my first time to come to the Golden Horse Awards, and it will also be the last time!"
After that, Gong Li threw the microphone away and turned around to leave the award ceremony, leaving only Huang Zijiao on the stage with an embarrassed face, and a group of Golden Horse organizers with red faces in the audience.
At this moment, the netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also directly blown up.
No one expected that the Golden Horse Awards would be so bold as to use Gong Li as a stepping stone!
Who gave them the courage?
That night, the Internet was already arguing fiercely, and by the next day, this year's Golden Horse Awards was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
Many people in the industry expressed their opinions, believing that the behavior of the Golden Horse organizers this time was too outrageous.
As the director of "Coming Home", Lao Mouzi made a direct statement, saying: "This year's Golden Horse Awards selection is really too much! Where does fairness and justice come from?"
Chen Fei looked at the news, curled his lips, and muttered to himself: "Want to find "fairness" in these domestic awards? What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack?"
After complaining, he entered the filming of "Operation Mekong" again, completely leaving those messy news behind.
...
At the same time, on the other side, after kicking the widow of Big Dog out of the company, Xiao Ma Pentium also completely fell into a situation of "self-inflicted evil, can't live".
The elder and younger sisters-in-law who just succeeded in "usurping the throne" at the beginning of the month have only been "emperors" for less than half a month, and such a large company is facing the situation of insolvency and bankruptcy liquidation.
Because Jianyin Culture formally filed a lawsuit arbitration with the court, requiring Xiaoma Pentium to immediately fulfill the gambling agreement and repurchase shares at a premium.
The amount of funds required to repurchase these shares is as high as - 635 million yuan!
And this money needs to be paid in cash!
The industry knows very well that in the face of such huge debts, even if the entire Pony Galloping Group is sold, it will not be enough to compensate.
Therefore, the final outcome left for Xiao Ma was to sell off his property and run away in embarrassment.
Just after the filming ended that day, Chen Fei received a call from Zhong Lifang.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhong Lifang's first words were: "Mr. Chen, those Internet companies are so powerful! They spend money like water, and they don't care about money at all."
As soon as these words came out, a name suddenly popped into Chen Fei's mind.
"Ali?"
"That's right." Zhong Lifang responded: "I started early and successfully obtained several good copyrights, but companies such as Alibaba, LeTV, and Tencent were not slow in moving. The copyright of a novel that I was very optimistic about was snatched away by Alibaba. Oh, alas!"
"Oh?" Chen Fei asked casually: "What novel copyright is it? What's its name?"
"It's an ancient novel written by an author named Tang Qigongzi. It's called "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom". It's particularly suitable for adaptation into a TV series or movie. I think it should be on the same level as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"."
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he said with relief: "I am lucky to have gained it, and I have lost my life, so you don't have to worry too much about it."
"That's what you said. Let's just pretend that the fate has not yet arrived."
Chen Fei smiled and asked: "So which novel copyrights have you obtained? Are any of them suitable for film adaptation?"
"Yes!" Zhong Lifang said very excitedly: "Have you heard of the novel "Zhu Xian"? I got the film and television adaptation rights of this novel."
"Zhu Xian?"
Chen Fei's eyes immediately lit up. This was a good project and worthy of in-depth development.
The two parties chatted about this project for more than 20 minutes!
In the end, Chen Fei directly handed over all subsequent development work on "Zhu Xian" to Zhong Lifang.
After all, she bought the copyright of this novel, and it is a project that she strongly values and admires. In this case, let her handle it.
Feiyue Film and Television currently has a very mature process in terms of novel copyright development.
Comics, animations, games, etc. will be launched first to expand the influence, followed by live-action movies to finish, forming a perfect closed loop.
As long as there is no problem with the quality of the video, you will definitely make money!
…
In a blink of an eye, time has crossed the 25th, and there are less than 5 days left before the Lunar New Year.
As the first movie to be included in the Lunar New Year file this year, "Pacific Rim 2" held an extremely grand and grand premiere ceremony in the capital.
At the event, major companies and producers from the film and television industry were present one after another. Except for a large number of first- and second-tier celebrities and actors who couldn't go, everyone else was absent.
You know, being able to attend this kind of event is actually also a symbol of status and status.
The moment you step onto the red carpet, it means that your figure may appear in Hollywood news reports. This is undoubtedly a temptation that many people cannot resist.
The person responsible for hosting the premiere is La Geokang, the current chairman of China Film Group.
At first, Chen Fei was actually planning to fly back to attend the premiere, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not necessary.
After wasting several days in vain, it would be better to wait until the movie is finished before going back to avoid having to run back and forth.
In this way, the premiere, which had received much attention and attention from many people, was just given up by him.
The next day, relevant news reports came out freshly, along with some "rat shit".
"The premiere ceremony of the Chinese-foreign co-production film "Pacific Rim 2" was held in the capital. Many well-known companies and filmmakers in the industry attended and made a grand appearance to participate in the grand event!"
"The sequel to the sci-fi blockbuster is about to arrive, let's wait and see."
"This Lunar New Year period is destined to not be too peaceful. The schedule of "Pacific Rim 2" is extremely close to that of "Pacific Rim (Part 1)", and the two sides will inevitably have a fierce confrontation!"
"Yu Zheng made a high-profile mockery of Ziwei Gege in an interview with the media, saying: A washed-up actor who was once again popular by me has no gratitude and does all kinds of double-dealing. He is simply a shameless villain and makes people laugh..."
"Ziwei Gege countered: Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps? If you are a man, please stand up and speak clearly..."
Both the media and netizens pay surprisingly high attention to gossip.
For a time, the grievances about "Beauty's Scheming" and "The Princess" were revealed again, successfully attracting the attention and attention of countless people.
However, a day later, a new hot event appeared on Weibo.
"Reprinted from the Los Angeles Daily News: Huayi Chairman Wang Zhongjun spent more than 60 million US dollars to purchase a famous painting by Van Gogh from a foreign auction house, showing his wealth..."
When Chen Fei, who was in the Golden Triangle, saw this news, Weibo was filled with flattery.
Looking around, many directors, producers, celebrities, etc. in the industry are all flattering Wang Zhongjun's financial resources and vision, saying that he has added another treasure to the domestic collection industry, which is really gratifying.
However, seeing this news, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Hurry up and enjoy it. Time is running out. By then, you will have to spit out everything you have eaten!"
…
Once people enter a working state, they will unconsciously find that time is like a stream of light, fleeting.
In a blink of an eye, there are only 3 days left until the end of November.
The second male lead played by Chen Fei has been determined to die since he helped his girlfriend get revenge.
Therefore, after encountering the private armed ship, he did not hesitate at all and went to die with the other party!
This also led to the fact that from the beginning to the end of the filming, only the first male lead played by Zhang Hanyu was able to survive and return smoothly.
As for the others, all of them paid their precious lives in this real event.
After finishing his own scenes, Chen Fei sat back in front of the monitor and began to control the overall situation.
Currently being filmed is the last big scene of the movie "Operation Mekong", that is, the scene where a group of drug trafficking group members were escorted to the country by chartered plane.
In the monitor, a large number of armed police with guns are on guard, and a large number of police are watching silently around. Police cars and iron horses have turned on the police lights, and the atmosphere on the scene is solemn and strict.
As this scene ended, the next morning, the crew used the perspective of the male protagonist Zhang Hanyu as a starting point to shoot the scene of several survivors of the "Mekong River Case·Chinese Special Action Team" paying tribute to all the sacrificed comrades.
In the afternoon, the crew also shot the scene of the male protagonist and the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security discussing and talking privately.
The content of the discussion was whether the male No. 2, played by Chen Fei, had been in the Golden Triangle for more than ten years, and whether he had "become black with the ink", or whether his "red heart" had changed.
Faced with this question, Zhang Hanyu's answer was very decisive: "Leader! From my observation, I can know that his beliefs have never changed from beginning to end.
But he violated discipline and avenged his girlfriend. It is also undeniable..."
This scene also successfully explained why the male No. 2 resolutely chose to sacrifice. This was the evidence that he was determined to die in order to prove that his original intention had never changed.
On the 30th, Chen Fei and Kang Honglei pulled all the shots that had been shot, checked for omissions, and ensured that there were no problems.
After being busy until the evening, Chen Fei officially announced in front of all the crew members in the hotel restaurant:
"Attention all departments, the film "Operation Mekong" has officially finished filming. Thank you very much for your hard work over the past two months..."
That night, the crew held a wrap-up party inside the hotel without any media, reporters, or paparazzi.
News from the outside world spread very quickly.
The next morning, just as the Chinese New Year holiday officially arrived, the news of the film "Operation Mekong" finishing was mixed in many film and television news, and successfully landed at the top of the Weibo hot search list!
"It is reported that the main theme commercial blockbuster "Operation Mekong", jointly produced by Feiyue Film, China Film, Shanghai Film, Guangguang, Wanda, and Golden Shield, directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Liu Shishi and others, was officially completed yesterday morning..."
"The Sino-foreign co-production blockbuster "Pacific Rim 2", jointly produced by Feiyue Film, China Film, and Lucasfilm, closed at 19.95 million in the midnight show! The box office is rising rapidly!"
"The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay was successfully released, with a total domestic box office of 865 million, a North American box office of 236 million, and a global total box office of over 886 million US dollars, successfully achieving Now it has achieved great box office and word-of-mouth success!"
"After several months of preparation, the film "Old Cannon" exclusively produced by Huayi, directed by Guan Hu, and starring Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Bai Jugang and others, officially started shooting this morning. Popular idol superstars Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng jointly participated in a commercial film for the first time, as one of the core stars, and many powerful actors played supporting roles for the two..."
"The capital's domestically produced super epic masterpiece "The Crossing (Part 1)" is scheduled to hold its world premiere in the capital on December 3rd, to celebrate the event together!"
In just one morning, the entire entertainment industry seemed to be like boiling water, boiling and scalding!
