Chapter 797: Is It Possible for Bai Ri to Make a Comeback? How Can We Stop Him? How Can We Stop Him?
Chapter 797 What is the possibility of a comeback during the day? It's coming fiercely, how to stop it? How to block?
After leaving the crew of "The Great Wall", Chen Fei and Liu Yifei rushed to the next party with extremely complicated emotions.
In the car, Miss Liu scratched her head and asked tentatively: "Chen Fei, did you understand just now, what kind of story is the movie "The Great Wall" telling?"
Shaking his head, Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "We'll wait until the finished film comes out. I can't make any conclusions now."
He was getting more and more confused as he watched the movie, and even started to faint at the end.
Obviously every actor is trying hard to play the role they play well, but for some reason, in the end, when combined together, it's like a hodgepodge.
This hodgepodge may seem delicious at first glance, but in fact, as long as you get up close and smell it, you will find that this thing is really unappetizing!
But now at this time, I have to cook this pot of rice even if I don’t want to, and I can’t stop at all.
As for Zhang Yimou, who is in charge of cooking, he may be scolded by movie fans for being autistic after "serving the food". I wonder if he is ready?
…
The car is still running on the road, and news has already spread on the Internet.
"It is reported that this morning, Chen Fei and his girlfriend Liu Yifei appeared at the filming site of the movie "The Great Wall" to visit and communicate. Zhang Yimou had a great chat with the two and shared a lot of film shooting experiences with each other,"
This news did not attract much attention, because the attention of the media in the industry and most filmmakers fell on a new announcement issued by Alibaba Pictures.
"The romantic movie "The Ferryman", invested and controlled by Alibaba Pictures, co-produced by Zedong Pictures, supervised by director Wang Jiawei, and directed by the original author Zhang Jiajia, officially announced the starring list today."
"The starring cast of the movie "The Ferryman" is as follows: Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yang Ying, Eason Chan, Rongrong Zhang, Du Juan, Xiong Dailin, Da Peng, Li Yuchun, Lu Han..."
"It is reported that the movie "The Ferryman" will undergo a two-month script study and preparation phase, and the movie will officially start filming in late July."
"Yang Ying, one of the four most popular actresses in Mainland China, will partner with two great movie kings, Tony Leung Chaowei and Takeshi Kaneshiro, to demonstrate her 'Queen of Actress' level acting skills!"
""The Ferryman" may appear at next year's Berlin International Film Festival, so stay tuned!"
Looking at these news, Chen Fei felt inexplicably emotional.
In order to praise Yang Ying, the leader has taken great pains, and he can actually insert his girlfriend into such a cast to be the heroine!
You know, if you wanted to partner with the two great actors Tony Leung Chaowei and Takeshi Kaneshiro, you had to be at least a big actress of the level of Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.
But what about Yang Ying? How does she compare to big beauties like Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun?
Is it just because of her acting skills that she had to put eye drops in the crying scene?
Chen Fei was immediately amused.
At the same time, he can also say with certainty that this "The Ferryman" will never be successful!
The King of Sunglasses serves as a producer + a new director + an actress of Yang Ying's level. Looking at it, no matter how you look at it, it reveals a very unreliable feeling.
…
The business car drove forward and finally stopped at the door of a private restaurant.
After getting out of the car, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei went straight to the private room on the second floor under the guidance of the hotel service staff.
The sound insulation effect of the private room is very good. There is no movement outside the door, but there is a bustle of people inside!
The purpose of today's party is actually very simple. It is to celebrate the success of the movie "The Worst Man in the World" at Cannes, and to congratulate Liu Yifei on being named Best Actress at Cannes.
The box was full of acquaintances, and all of them were people who had made cameos in the movie.
"Sissi! Come on! Sit here with me!"
Shu Chang shouted carelessly and ran Liu Yifei away from Chen Fei.
Zhou Xun quickly came over and asked with some urgency: "Where is the Cannes Best Actress trophy? Don't be so stingy! Take it out and show it to us!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Liying and Tang Yan both came over and went to observe the trophy with great interest.
Naturally, Chen Fei didn't follow along to join in the fun, and sat down between Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, picked up his laptop and ordered food.
After finishing it quickly, Chen Fei's eyes swept from Zhu Yawen and finally fell on Luo Jin.
"What are you doing recently? Why can't I see the latest news about you online?"
Hearing this, Luo Jin smiled and explained: "After I finished my cameo role, I was contacted about a Sino-Indian co-production. I just signed the contract yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be announced to the public soon."
A Sino-Indian co-production?
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought of the "China-India Film Cooperation and Exchange Press Conference" supported by his superiors after "Dangal" was withdrawn from domestic theaters some time ago.
Judging from the current situation, cooperation between the two countries needs to be deepened!
He asked subconsciously: "Is it a mission?"
Luo Jin nodded: "Yes, China Film Group is in charge. The movie is called "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty". Huang Xiaoming is the male lead, and I am the second male lead after him."
"What? Huang Xiaoming plays Xuanzang?" Chen Fei and Zhu Yawen raised their voices in unison.
The expressions of both of them were full of surprise. After all, the leader seemed to have taken several steps towards the "greasy" path, but now he was actually asked to play the role of an accomplished monk.
Just thinking about it, the scene is a bit unbearable to watch!
"That's right." Luo Jin nodded again, and added: "In addition to this "The Great Tang Xuanzang", I heard that China Film and India have also invested in a movie called "Kung Fu Yoga", and have already found Brother Chen Long."
Zhu Yawen was quite surprised and said: "Brother is very productive! "The Great Wall" just ended in the first half of the year, and he is going to take on a new play again?"
Luo Jin shrugged and didn't say much.
As people in the circle, everyone actually understands why the elder brother is so tired. If it weren't for his son, I'm afraid the elder brother would have announced his retirement by now.
"He is 61 years old, but he is still working so hard!"
Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh. After being busy for most of his life, it turned out to be such a situation in the end. It is really quite touching.
"Do you think his son still has hope of making a comeback?"
This sudden question directly confused Chen Fei.
In theory, even the red-headed documents have been issued from above, so there is definitely no hope.
But the successful approval of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" made Chen Fei a little confused. Who knows what the bureau is thinking? All he can do now is to wait and see.
The steaming delicious food was soon served on the table. As usual, after a series of photos, everyone quickly enjoyed it.
After the meal, Liu Yifei directed several people to stand together, took a group photo, and posted it directly on Weibo.
As expected, after a while, there was another series of replies from the bottom!
"Princess Sissi, why don't you give the Cannes Best Actress trophy to the fans for a draw, and let us taste it too?"
"Okay! You guys are eating so well, why didn't you call me!"
"Haha, I successfully touched the Cannes Best Actress trophy today. Maybe I will have the opportunity to go to Cannes and win a Best Actress trophy in the future."
"Sister Xun, why are you dreaming in broad daylight?"
"What's there to brag about? It's just a Best Actress award. When my goddess Baby finishes filming "The Ferryman", I will also bring you a Best Actress award to open your eyes!"
...
As time officially turns to June, the Chinese-language film market has been completely dominated by Hollywood imported films.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is far ahead, with a box office of 2.5 billion, which is extremely strong!
"Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass" has also received a lot of attention, with daily box office maintained at around 40 million, which is high.
There are also "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Warcraft" waiting in the wings, which put great pressure on domestic films.
Looking back at domestic films, except for "Drug War 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", none of the others can compete, and all of them are bullied miserably.
In the eyes of people in the industry, the film market in June is actually not worth paying attention to, because this period is destined to be the killing time of Hollywood blockbusters.
If domestic films want to fight back, they may have to wait until after the summer vacation.
"Have you packed your luggage? Nothing you forgot to bring or left behind? Passports, ID cards, credit cards, etc. are all ready. There is no mobile payment there, you have to take care of yourself..."
In the villa, Liu Yifei is like a wife who is sending her husband on a long journey, arranging everything for him in detail.
Chen Fei watched from the side, nodded from time to time, and felt warm in his heart.
This feeling is the first time he has enjoyed it in his life, and the experience is very good!
After everything was packed, Liu Yifei stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and picked up the phone on the table next to her.
"It's still early before the plane takes off. It's almost noon. I'll call the hotel to send us two meals. You can eat before leaving, okay?"
Chen Fei nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, okay, listen to you."
After listening to Liu Yifei's appointment for the meal delivery time, the next second after hanging up the phone, Chen Fei got up and picked her up and went straight to the bedroom.
"What? What are you doing in broad daylight?"
"What's wrong with the daytime?" Chen Fei threw her on the bed without saying anything, and pounced on her with a smirk: "Let's exercise first, and wait for the meal to be delivered later, so we can continue to replenish energy."
...
Although it is difficult to apply for private jet routes, once the application is approved, for Chen Fei, this journey is pure enjoyment.
In the evening, after getting on the plane, he directly pulled the quilt open, got in and fell asleep.
On the other hand, the outside world is very lively.
Yesterday, Alibaba Pictures just officially announced the cast of "The Ferryman", and today, Emperor Entertainment Group officially announced the main creative team of "Ip Man 4".
"The fourth film (final episode) of the action drama film "Ip Man" series, jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Emperor Entertainment Group, officially announced the cast this afternoon."
"The director of "Ip Man 4" is still Ye Weixin, and the starring team members are Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Yue, Wu Jianhao, Scott Adkins, Chen Guokun..."
"It is reported that "Ip Man 4" will invite action director Yuan Heping to serve as the action director."
"Spanning seven years, the "Ip Man" series has finally ushered in the final chapter. Although there have been many twists and turns, the quality, box office and reputation of the film are still high, which can be called a model of action movies!"
"Ip Man rushed to the United States. Faced with repeated doubts and provocations from American military officers about Chinese people in the United States and Chinese Kung Fu, as well as increasingly rampant ethnic discrimination and oppression, Ip Man chose to stand up and fight to the death, proving the Chinese to the world with authentic Wing Chun. The power of kung fu! Stay tuned!”
As the relevant press releases of "Ip Man 4" appeared on major domestic entertainment news portals like a swamp, it was no surprise that it once again aroused heated discussions among mainland netizens.
In particular, the "Zhao Zhen Controversy" incident was once again brought out by netizens who were good at it.
"I remember, didn't Donnie Yen announce that he has joined "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2"? This movie is almost finished, right? It should be released next year, right?"
"Good guy! So there's something exciting to watch again, right? Zhao Wenzhuo versus Donnie Yen, "Ip Man 4" versus "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2", I don't know who will lose more miserably?"
"From the beginning to the end, it seems that Donnie Yen has never won, right?"
"It's weird that Donnie Yen can win. Look at all the movies he has made over the years. Each one is worse than the last. I'm tired of scolding."
"I'm just wondering, what on earth was he thinking back then? How could he offend Emperor and Feiyue Films to that extent? They would rather remake the movie than give him a chance. This is a life-or-death enemy!"
At this time, in the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2", Donnie Yen was also paying attention to the news online.
When he saw that "Ip Man 4" was announced and the protagonist was Zhao Wenzhuo, he almost regretted it!
If I had known it now, why bother then?
If he can always stand firmly on Chen Fei's side and rely on the influence of "Ip Man 4", no matter how many bad movies he makes, fans will support him and support him.
But now it's good, the "Ip Man" series has nothing to do with him, and even the crew of "Journey to the West" kicked him out.
If Yuan Heping hadn't kindly "taken" him in, I'm afraid he would have become a lost dog in Hong Kong and the mainland, and everyone would beat him up!
"I will never give up. This "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2" is my last hope. With the help of it, I will definitely be able to turn around successfully!"
Zhen Zizhen clenched his fists and swore secretly.
…
The film industry is bustling with activity, but the variety show and TV drama circles are not willing to give in too much.
Just as "Running Brother" is on the air, Mango Channel's popular variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad 3" has announced the guest list.
What shocked netizens inside and outside the industry was that Mango Channel actually brought together Liu Ye and Hu Jun, a pair of screen stars, who will both bring their sons to record variety shows.
There are many people in the circle who want to eat melons. Everyone is guessing that after these two people meet again, will it be like dry wood meeting fire again?
On the other hand, netizens need to be more bold!
Seeing this year's guest lineup, some people immediately said: This is a father taking his child to meet another "dad". Of course, it may also be a "mom."
This comment received a very high number of likes.
Mango Channel did not control it, but instead added fuel to the fire by releasing many photos and videos of the two of them participating in interviews together. It was obvious that they were going there to create hype.
It's just that the current variety show industry is no longer an era where Mango Channel is the only one.
While "Running Brothers" was being played in full swing, Youku immediately announced relevant arrangements and announcements about "Extreme Challenge".
"Controlled by Youku, with investment from Feiyue Films and Enlight, and directed by Yan Zhen, Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Huang Xiaoming, Sha Yi, Yu Hewei, and Zhang Yixing served as regular guests to participate in the recording of the large-scale inspirational experience reality show "Extreme" "Challenge" will be officially launched on the 14th of this month, so stay tuned!"
Although many viewers questioned this guest lineup and said what fun would it be for 6 men to get together? It must be boring...
However, given that it is controlled by Youku, with participation from Feiyue Film and Television and Enlight, and it is a variety show that bought the copyright from South Korea, it may have its own unique charm.
Many netizens even analyzed: "We do not rule out the possibility that "Extreme Challenge" will be comparable to "Running Brothers" and "Where Are We Going, Dad"? It may even be a tripartite, or even surpass it!"
Netizens in the Magic City have released a large number of on-site Reuters photos of the first episode of the first season of "Extreme Challenge" on the Internet, as well as various offline promotional advertisements.
Because the first episode of this variety show was recorded in Shanghai, the main promotion location is also in Shanghai.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the cooperation of the locals in Shanghai, various offline advertisements can be described as "crazy"!
Radios, buses, TV stations, bus stations, subways, TV stations... wherever posters can be pasted, you can almost see promotional posters about this variety show.
And this also made Mango Channel start to worry. If "Extreme Challenge" can reach the level of "Running Brothers", then the originally stable pattern will be broken.
The three-legged confrontation is not terrible. What is terrible is that two of them belong to the same camp. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the third party!
The lost profits are simply heartbreaking!
This is true in the variety show circle, not to mention the TV drama circle.
One "Ode to Joy" and another "The Pretender" have already given major TV series producers a headache.
Feiyue Film and Television is too powerful. They not only failed, but also lost a lot of ratings.
Everyone was already worried about how to deal with it, but when the latest announcement of Feiyue Film and Television was released, some producers started to lose their hair on the spot!
"The scripts of "Together with You 2", "Undocumented Crime", "Princess Agents", and "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" have all passed the review and will officially enter the preparation period. Please look forward to it!"
For a time, the TV drama production circle was completely boiling.
Feiyue Film and Television is so aggressive, how can we stop it? Can we stop it?
