Chapter 795 In the Name of the People!

The flight from France back to China landed smoothly in the capital.

In order to avoid being surrounded by reporters, Chen Fei proposed to go out first to attract firepower, and then Liu Yifei could leave through the VIP channel with Liu Xiaoli.

However, this proposal was "sternly rejected" by Miss Liu!

"Since we will be blocked sooner or later, we might as well go out openly and let them interview us enough, which will save us a lot of trouble in the future."

This proposal makes sense, but for some reason, Chen Fei always has an indescribable and strange feeling in his heart.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go out quickly."

Liu Yifei let go of the hand holding Liu Xiaoli's arm, smiled and took two steps forward, stuffed her soft hand into Chen Fei's big hand, and interlocked his fingers.

Then, she raised her head and chest, strode forward, her face full of excitement, confidence, and a hint of "evil plan succeeded".

Chen Fei was dragged forward by her in a daze, and soon saw the media surrounding the airport.

As expected, the arrival of the two people instantly ushered in dozens of exclamations and a series of flashes.

For a moment, Miss Liu's smile became even more intense.

Liu Xiaoli followed the two people out, observing the expression on her daughter's face and many intimate little actions between her and Chen Fei, and couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.

"This girl, is she so eager to claim sovereignty? Is there anyone who will directly snatch people at the airport?"

With the help of bodyguards, assistants and airport security, the restless atmosphere at the scene gradually calmed down a lot.

Of course, interviews are naturally indispensable.

"Director Chen, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or for the second time. Can you tell me how you feel now?"

"Very excited and happy. In fact, I didn't expect that I would get so many surprises in Cannes this time."

"What new plans do you have next?"

After hearing this question, Chen Fei thought for a moment and finally chose to reveal some news: "If nothing unexpected happens, I may go to Hollywood in the second half of the year to do a special new film project."

As soon as this was said, there was a burst of exclamations at the scene!

"Director Chen, can you tell me if the new movie is a commercial film? Or a drama-type award-winning film?"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "You will know in a while. Walton Pictures will release a new announcement."

Seeing that they couldn't dig out too much inside information, the reporters quickly changed their targets and topics.

"Director Chen, Yifei, I wonder when you two started together?"

"It's been more than a year!"

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly, officially declared her sovereignty to the outside world, and confirmed her status as the queen.

…

“Do you two have plans to get engaged and married later? When are you going to have children?”

“Director Chen, will you release a ‘couple’ type of TV series next?”

“Yifei, when filming the movie “The Worst Person in the World”, did you two put yourself into the real situation when you interacted on the set?”

“What do you think about the official announcement that caused the Weibo server to crash?”

“How does it feel to be crowned as the Best Actress in Cannes? Your boyfriend helped you so much. Were you very moved at the scene? Can you tell me what you thought at the time?”

…

Chen Fei discovered that the group of reporters in front of him were not interested in the Golden Palm, the Best Actress in Cannes, etc. What they were really interested in was the topic of love!

Liu Yifei was very open-minded and said everything she knew. Not only did she show off her affection, but she also fed a large bowl of dog food to hundreds of people at the scene.

It was not until more than half an hour later that Chen Fei finally “escaped” from the airport.

After getting in the car, he asked the driver to take him to the company first, and then said goodbye to Liu Yifei and her daughter, and returned to the office alone.

It is already late May, and it will be June in a few days.

According to Chen Fei's original plan, he was going to fly to Hollywood in early June to follow up the preparation and casting of "Ready Player One".

Therefore, he needed to sort out all the existing work of the company in the few days left in May to ensure that there would be no problems after he left.

Su Guohai was the first to come to the office and took out several invitations from his pocket.

"Mr. Chen, this is the invitation from the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards. The organizers of these two awards have invited our company very 'sincerely' and hope that we can go to participate in the film awards selection."

"Haha, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions."

Chen Fei took the invitation letter casually, without even looking at it, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

What the hell are the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards, he doesn't even want to look at them!

The former focuses on disgusting people, and the latter focuses on doing secret operations. They are all places that trick people into carrying sedan chairs, and only idiots will fall for them.

After throwing away the two invitations, Chen Fei briefly learned from Su Guohai about the specific details of several new projects that the company is currently promoting.

"The second season of "Running Man!" has now aired its sixth episode and is expected to be officially concluded in July.

The average ratings of CSM50 city network are 4.8%, the average audience share is 15%, and it ranks first in the same period!

The average ratings of CSM national network are 3.5%, the average audience share is 12%, and it ranks first in the same period!"

Listening to this data, Chen Fei was slightly startled: "Is it so fierce?"

"That's right!" Su Guohai responded excitedly: "As long as "Run! Brothers" is launched, no matter what popular variety show or TV series that night, no one can compare to this variety show."

Chen Fei waved his hand, indicating for him to continue talking.

"The first episode of the first season of "Extreme Challenge" will premiere on Dragon TV on June 14, and will be broadcast at 21:00 every Sunday night, and will be synchronized to the variety show section of Youku 12 hours later.

The third part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" "Kunlun Temple" has currently completed 60% of the set work, and is expected to start production around September.

In addition, I have also contacted Yinghuang.

"Ip Man 4" has currently confirmed the cast. In addition to Zhao Wenzhuo, there will also be Wu Yue, Wu Jianhao, Scott Adkins, Zheng Zeshi, Chen Guokun and others. Director Yang also specially invited Yuan Heping as action director. …”

Yuan Heping?

The moment he heard the name, Chen Fei frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Although this person is not very good at being a director or making movies, he is recognized as a master in the field of action direction. With his help, I believe that the fighting scenes in "Ip Man 4" will be very exciting.

Su Guohai continued to report: "Regarding the project "Chasing the Dragon" jointly produced by Jiahe and Feiyue Film and Television, Dong Huo and I finally decided on the combination of Liu Dehua + Liang Jiahui after auditions and selections. They will star separately. "Lei Luo" and "Wu Shihao".

Liu Dehua? Liang Jiahui?

As soon as he heard these two names, Chen Fei unconsciously felt a strong sense of expectation in his heart.

The two veteran movie kings are going to show off their acting skills again. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy. I believe that when the movie is released, it will definitely attract a lot of attention!

"Well, okay, let's arrange it this way."

After receiving Chen Fei's approval, a smile suddenly appeared on Su Guohai's face.

But then, he added: "The only problem now is that the popularity of the movie "Sicario" and the expectations of movie fans are not very high.

The heroine Liu Shishi's previous movies had a bad reputation, and Xie Bao was the first male lead in a movie after many years, which also led to the majority of unfavorable voices from the outside world. "

"Don't worry about these, just carry out the announcement step by step. Once the movie is released, everything will be solved naturally."

In some cases, a film's reputation is the key to determining its box office.

There may be many people who are not optimistic about the movie "Sicario" at the moment, but when the film is released, Chen Fei believes that many people will change their minds.

As word-of-mouth continues to grow, theaters will naturally increase their film schedules, and the box office will also rise steadily.

If you can still meet some "pig teammates" during this period, then I believe this upward trend will usher in a wave of gains!

"Okay, I understand."

Su Guohai responded, thoughtfully.

…

At noon, a lot of news about Chen Fei and Liu Yifei's return to China appeared on the Internet.

All relevant content, including the interview the two had at the airport, was uploaded to the Internet, causing heated discussions within and outside the industry.

And the most important thing is that Liu Yifei's "declaration of sovereignty" behavior is still going on!

After returning home, she immediately placed the Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actress trophies on the table, and then she leaned in the middle and took a photo with the two trophies.

When she posted on Weibo, she even wrote: "Share the two birthday gifts that my boyfriend sent me early."

After the official announcement, Ms. Liu became much bolder and even added the tag x-on:陈飞 after the caption.

This behavior undoubtedly attracted the attention of a large number of insiders and fans, and there were many comments expressing envy in the comment area.

Chen Fei smiled fondly and replied: "Happy birthday to Princess Sissi in advance!"

As soon as his comment came out, there was another lively reply:

"So sweet! So greasy!"

"I'm full of this bowl of dog food!"

"When is Director Chen going to Hollywood? I wish your new movie project a hit in advance!"

While many people in the industry are paying attention to the two people's public "spreading sugar", they have already begun to inquire about the news about the new movie project revealed by Chen Fei at the airport.

However, before this kind of Hollywood movie project is officially announced, the mainland will not receive any news at all.

Helplessly, everyone could only look forward to it and sigh.

…

After Su Guohai's report in the morning, Jiang Xuerou and Zhong Lifang arrived at Chen Fei's office in the afternoon.

The former is currently responsible for two TV series projects, "Ode to Joy" and "The Pretender", and is preparing to develop new TV series projects.

The latter is focusing on adapting the novel "Zhu Xian".

After this period of hard work, the projects at hand have made a lot of progress.

"'Ode to Joy' will be officially broadcast on Dragon TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV at the end of next month, which is the 27th. We have made corresponding promotion and publicity for the summer vacation, and the response has been very good.

The subsequent "Pretender" will premiere on Mango Channel and Youku on August 31st to succeed "Ode to Joy"..."

After first introducing the progress of the two TV drama projects in progress, Jiang Xuerou placed a large pile of documents brought from the trip in front of Chen Fei.

"This is a new TV series project that I have selected and will be officially launched next. You can take a look."

"good."

Chen Fei nodded slightly and looked over one item after another.

The one on the top is the second part of the "Welcome Together" series, which still brings together the original cast. Considering the high quality of the first part, the script content of this second part is not bad at all.

What followed was a crime-themed web drama of the same name adapted from the novel "Undocumented Crime", which told the story of police officer Yan Liang's painstaking pursuit of the real culprit of the "Snowman" serial murder case amid heavy fog.

Later, there was another costume-themed script adapted from the novel "The Princess of 11 Agents", which tells the story of Chu Qiao, a maverick female slave in the troubled times of the Western Wei Dynasty, about protection, betrayal, and belief in the process of helping to establish a new regime. , love story.

After reading three scripts in succession, Chen Fei rubbed his red eyes and continued to read the fourth one.

""Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky"?"

After looking at the title of the script, he flipped through the content again.

The story uses the emotional and entrepreneurial stories of Chen Jianghe and his wife Luo Yuzhu as clues to tell the tortuous and glorious process of Yiwu's reform and development for more than 30 years. It can be regarded as an inspirational business war script with an urban theme.

There is still a large audience for this type of show, and the script is very well written. As long as the right actors can be found, the ratings will definitely be good.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all of these scripts are masterpieces. I think Jiang Xuerou has also put in a lot of effort during this time.

However, at this moment, Jiang Xuerun, who was standing nearby, suddenly reminded him: "Director Chen, these four scripts are all good, I can grasp them, and I am confident that I can film them well.

But I was really not confident about this last script, and I didn’t even dare to submit it for review! "

"Huh? Is it that exaggerated?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, closed the script of "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", and looked at the last project document.

However, when he saw the five characters "In the Name of the People", he was stunned on the spot!

No wonder! No wonder Jiang Xuerou didn't even dare to submit it for review. This name contains too many taboos!

Chen Fei took a deep breath, opened the script and read it carefully.

Qi Tongwei, Hou Liangping, Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, Sha Ruijin, Lu Yike, Zhao Donglai, Zhao Ruilong...

These names look so familiar!

After spending more than half an hour reading the script, Chen Fei turned to look at Jiang Xuerou: "Who wrote this script? When did our screenwriting department have such a capable person?"

"It was not written by someone from our screenwriting department." Jiang Xuerou explained: "The creator of this script is Mr. Zhou Mei."

Mentioning this name, a figure instantly appeared in Chen Fei's mind: "Is it Zhou Mei, who is known as the 'first political novelist'?"

"Yes, that's him."

Jiang Xuerou continued: "According to Mr. Zhou, this script was originally an invitation sent to him by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Film and Television Center, hoping that he could create an anti-corruption TV series that could reflect social reality.

But now that the script has been written, no suitable investors can be found. The script has even been submitted for review many times, but in the end it was rejected.

He had no choice but to find me and wanted to try his luck with us to see if he could get enough investment and if there was a chance to successfully pass the script without extensive revisions. "

Hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This script was so bold that even an innocent person like him, let alone other companies, felt terrified when he saw it.

If this were shown to Wang Zhonglei, it might scare his blood pressure so much!

But, if this drama can be filmed and gets enough promotion resources, it will definitely become a phenomenal hit!

Chen Fei can guarantee this, after all, he is very familiar with this drama.

It’s easy to talk about investment. The project book states 50 million. Even if Feiyue Film and Television is an exclusive production, it won’t be a problem.

But the current situation is that Feiyue Film and Television alone cannot support this project, and it must win allies with sufficient weight.

And most importantly, getting the script reviewed is also a big problem.

After all, this script is really scary. Without a boss to tell it, who would dare to let it be made public?

More than ten minutes later, Chen Fei raised his head and looked at Jiang Xuerou again: "Please help me reply to Mr. Zhou Mei, just say that we want this script from Feiyue Film and Television, and I will think about the investment and review issues. way."

He was going to find Tong Gang. Maybe the second-in-command of the General Administration would have some good suggestions.

Even if it doesn't work, you can still get a few more officials to endorse it. This is not a very difficult thing for Feiyue Film and Television.

Although the process will be somewhat complicated and tortuous, Chen Fei feels that this script is worth it.

"Okay, Director Chen."

Jiang Xue agreed, turned around and left the office.

Zhong Lifang, who had been waiting outside the door early, saw Jiang Xueruan walking out with a stack of project books, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Sure enough, the formation of this TV series project is much more reliable than that of the movie."

She whispered softly, said hello to Jiang Xueruo, and then walked straight into Chen Fei's office.

"Have you finished writing the script for "Zhu Xian"?"

When Chen Fei saw Zhong Lifang coming in, he thought of the new Xianxia movie project she mentioned a few months ago.

"Yeah, it's finished."

Zhong Lifang put the project book and script that had been prepared long ago in front of Chen Fei and asked him to take a look.

Opening the script and looking at the content inside, Chen Fei asked: "How do you plan to carry out this project?"

Zhong Lifang is also a person who will make a big splash if she doesn't make a big splash!

After hearing Chen Fei's question, she said directly: "I plan to invite Liu Yifei to play 'Lu Xueqi' and Zhao Liying to play 'Bi Yao'. As for 'Zhang Xiaofan'..."

The office suddenly became quiet. Chen Fei subconsciously raised his head and saw Zhong Lifang staring at him with expectation in her eyes!

"You want me to play Zhang Xiaofan?"

"Is it okay?" Zhong Lifang's face was full of expectations.

Chen Fei shook his head slowly: "I don't have time, I have a new movie project waiting for me to do."

Zhong Lifang quickly added: "Zhu Xian can wait! Don't rush! The script of this project has just been finalized, and it will take at least half a year to prepare!"

Chen Fei: "..."
