Chapter 829: Taro's Father Is Dead! Double Happiness!
Whenever he encounters a system challenge task, Chen Fei is always happiest when he gets the reward.
This feeling of getting rewarded by his own efforts is even better than sharing the money after the movie is released in theaters!
On the way back to New York after the challenge in the Cliff Area, Chen Fei chatted with Flory about the feeling of riding an off-road motorcycle while checking the rewards given by the system.
The rewards for SS-level tasks are almost fixed.
If you can get two blind boxes, then one of the blind boxes must contain a script.
But if there is only one blind box, it depends on luck.
Fortunately, after completing the task, the system continues to reward double blind boxes.
First of all, there are still five scripts, namely: "Operation Red Sea", "La La Land", "Venom: Lethal Guardian", "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World", and "The Founding of an Army".
Looking around, these are all scripts that Chen Fei was familiar with in his previous life, and they are all the best of the best!
It has to be said that these things produced by the system seem to have never failed.
However, the script that came out of another blind box surprised Chen Fei.
[Vocal Mastery: Lv5]
He vaguely remembered that when he first entered the entertainment industry, he had already obtained a Lv2 vocal mastery skill, and the system also rewarded him with a song at that time.
However, since then, he has focused on being an actor, or even a director and producer, and has never thought about getting into the music industry.
Therefore, since then, the system has not provided him with relevant skills in vocal music.
And now, suddenly there is another [Vocal Mastery: Lv5], is it going to let him get into the music industry?
"To sing?"
Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately shook his head.
He is not interested in mixing in the same circle with people like "Wang Banbi" and "Na Ma Hu", just thinking about it makes him panic.
"Fei, what you meant just now is that you are going to make a movie based on 'extreme sports'?"
Flory's voice suddenly rose, directly pulling Chen Fei's thoughts back from his distracted thinking about other things.
After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Fei suddenly realized that he had unknowingly spoken out the outline of the script of "The Thief".
He had already obtained this script from the system, and had revised nearly half of it. It would not take long for him to take out the completed project book for Natasha to file.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei did not continue to hide it: "Yes, I do have this idea, and the script has been written halfway."
"Haha, good! This is really great! No one has ever used "extreme sports" as the material to make a movie. Yours is the first in the world."
Flory talked to himself excitedly, his eyes full of expectations: "Fei, you must promise me that you must invite me to guest star during the filming of this movie, even if it is just a car repairman."
Fai Chen smiled immediately, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, you can't run away. After this project is confirmed, I will contact Red Bull as soon as possible. Your assistance is indispensable during the filming."
"No problem!" Florry patted his chest "bang bang" sound: "No matter what kind of help you need, I will do my best!"
"Well, then thank you in advance."
As a movie based on "extreme sports" as the material, it is definitely indispensable to have the help of professional extreme athletes.
After the project is really confirmed, Chen Fei is ready to invite Red Bull to be one of the investors to ensure that the filming of this movie can be completed smoothly.
…
After returning to New York, Chen Fei said goodbye to Flory and others, and then went to Marvel Studios.
When he met Kevin Feige, he was busy arranging the release and release of "Ant-Man" and other related matters.
This movie is the last one in Marvel's second phase plan, and it is also the last exclusive film project produced by Marvel Studios in 2015.
After "Ant-Man" is finished, it will be followed by "Captain America 3: Civil War" and "Doctor Strange", and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2".
This time, in addition to inspecting the progress of Marvel's work, Chen Fei also has another thing to inform Kevin Feige.
"Natasha's negotiations with Sony went smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, the Spider-Man series can officially return to the Marvel system starting next year."
"Oh! My God!" Kevin Feige was stunned: "He...they actually agreed? How...how is this possible?"
Chen Fei shrugged: "You also know that Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man series failed in the second part, and they no longer have the confidence to continue developing the third part.
As for the new development direction, how can it be determined so easily? After all, the filming funds for each Spider-Man are never less than 200 million US dollars."
Hearing this, Kevin Feige quickly realized: "Sony can no longer continue to bear the possible failure?"
"Of course, after all, they don't want to become the second MGM, right?"
"Haha, yes, that's the truth."
Chen Fei put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "I will arrange a task for you. When Spider-Man's copyright returns, we will immediately announce that there will be a wonderful appearance of Spider-Man in "Avengers 3".
Also, Marvel will lead the development of the new "Spider-Man" series of movies. We are not Sony. We are not short of money, and we also have enough Marvel series characters to link up to ensure that we will not disappoint the expectations of fans. . "
"Okay, Boss, I understand."
Kevin Feige remembered Chen Fei's words in his mind word for word.
Before leaving, Fade Chen added: "Right? There is one more thing I need to remind you."
"What?" Kevin Feige cast a confused look.
"Twentieth Century Fox is declining. Next, Walton Pictures will make corresponding strategies for its company."
"Huh!?" After hearing this, Kevin Feige suddenly became excited: "Are you going to take back the copyrights of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" that Marvel previously sold to 20th Century Fox?"
"This is just one of them." Chen Fei suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Twentieth Century Fox has been deeply involved in antitrust lawsuits in recent years, and it has lost even more money due to the enactment of the Paramount Act. Its theater chains are facing dual pressures from market and technological reforms.
In addition, his company's frequent setbacks in film investment have further worsened its financial situation..."
Hearing this, Kevin Feige seemed to have guessed something, and his body even trembled slightly with excitement and surprise.
"So, the company wants to..."
Chen Fei said solemnly: "Yes, as you think, after discussing with Natasha, we are ready to implement the acquisition plan of 20th Century Fox!"
"This...can this succeed?"
Kevin Feige is a little confused. Does his boss have such a big appetite? He even wanted to acquire 20th Century Fox, one of the six largest companies in Hollywood, in the name of an independent production company.
This is simply too appalling!
"How will you know if you don't try?" Chen Fei smiled, not doubting himself like Kevin Feige.
He firmly believes that "where there is a will, there is a way." As long as you dare to think and do, nothing is impossible.
Twentieth Century Fox is indeed a behemoth. Even if its development has not been very good in recent years, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.
However, no matter whether it is a "camel" or a "horse", as long as it has a price, you can definitely buy it!
If US$50 billion doesn't work, then US$60 billion; if not, US$70 billion or US$80 billion... Chen Fei doesn't believe that those shareholders can hold on in the face of such a high price!
And the most important thing is that he doesn't need to spend his own money anyway.
There are so many leeks in Laomei's house, and cutting one crop will not have any impact. Using their money to buy their company, just thinking about Chen Fei can't suppress his inner expectations.
…
After leaving Marvel, Chen Fei first asked his assistant to buy him a ticket to return to China, and then went straight to the property he bought in New York.
Although this place is not as big as the villa in Beverly Hills, the view is quite broad. After all, it is still a large flat.
After going to the bathroom to take a shower, he first called Liu Yifei to report that he was safe, and then prepared to sort out the scripts for the system's latest rewards.
But at this moment, Han Sanping's call came in.
The good news came as soon as Mr. San opened his mouth: "The first-day box office result of "One Hundred Regiments" is out, 57.76 million yuan."
"so much?"
Chen Fei was slightly stunned, really surprised.
You must know that "One Hundred Regiments" is not a commercial film with a special theme like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". The former is a very traditional theme movie.
According to Chen Fei's expectations, it would be great if the film could recover its production costs and gain a good reputation by the way. He had no intention of making money from it at all.
But the box office result of 57.76 million seems to indicate that this film is aiming to make money!
The next second, Han Sanping helped him "solve the case": "Isn't this just in time for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War? There has been a lot of support from above."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly understood.
What support can the above provide?
It's nothing more than "booking the venue" and "scheduling the film."
"Are you very lucky?" Chen Fei joked.
Han Sanping suddenly sighed: "Oh, but he has a price for this support."
"Hmm?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What's the price?"
"The superiors wanted to produce a tribute film for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, so I took over the task and also provided some benefits."
"Okay." Chen Fei suddenly became happy: "This is an equal exchange of resources!"
"That's about it." At this time, Han Sanping suddenly changed the topic: "It just so happens that you wrote the scripts of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Founding of the Party", so I will leave this new script to you!"
"Hey? Didn't you take this task? Why did you put it on me?"
"He who can do it should work harder."
"There is no such labor law! Limiting the subject matter and content of the script is not something that can be done casually."
Han Sanping chuckled, how could she not know the meaning behind Chen Fei's words: "Don't worry, it will be of great benefit to you."
"Hmm?" Chen Fei's tone suddenly changed: "Then tell me what are the benefits?"
"Hey? You kid!" Han Sanping said with a smile: "In that case, let me tell you a good news first. After the beginning of next year, I will go to the audit department to take over the job of the consultant of Lu Chuan's father."
"Oh my god! This news is good enough, it's worth celebrating!"
"How is it? Can the script be written now? I can assure you that from now on, as long as the script and movie sent by Feiyue Film and Television, no one will dare to block the review without violating discipline. The whole process will be green channel, how about it?"
Chen Fei immediately patted his chest and said: "The script will be delivered by the end of October at the latest!"
"Haha, okay, it's a deal."
"Once a word is spoken, it can't be taken back!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei still couldn't hide his excitement.
He really didn't expect that he had just trampled Lu Tailang's "comeback" road to pieces, and then Lu Tailang's father was laid off.
Isn't this a double happiness? It's worth opening a bottle of red wine to celebrate!
Taking a highball glass out of the wine cabinet, Chen Fei really ran to open a bottle of red wine.
While waiting for the wine to be sobered up, he called the post-production of "Ready Player One" and told them some of his requirements and arrangements.
The post-production of this movie is destined to be far away, so he naturally can't follow up the whole process, as long as the general framework remains unchanged.
After the call, an hour passed quietly.
The red wine was also sobered up at this time, and the faint fragrance came to the nose, refreshing the heart.
It was still early, and Chen Fei did not go to rest immediately, but leaned on the sofa in the living room to watch the recent hot events in China.
September has only been a few days, but several major events have emerged in the domestic entertainment industry!
The first to bear the brunt was a sudden new regulation, which directly caused an uproar in the film and television industry and the entertainment industry.
Looking around, the originally "well-ordered" industry has suddenly fallen into chaos and unrest in the past few days. Major film and television companies, entertainment companies and production companies have turned their attention to Mango TV.
You know, as a leader in the mainland entertainment industry, Mango TV's reality show "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has always attracted much attention.
However, the promulgation of the official new regulations has brought an unprecedented blow to this program!
The regulations clearly stipulate that from September, all child stars under the age of 10 are prohibited from participating in advertising endorsements and commercial performances.
This regulation is undoubtedly a heavy blow to "Where Are We Going, Dad?", which focuses on parent-child interaction!
With the implementation of the new regulations, the future of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has suddenly become full of uncertainty.
Because the guest families of the third season, which is about to end, can no longer use the "parent-child" relationship to obtain other benefits from the outside world.
And this is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire program.
But because of this, "Running Man" and "Go Fighting" have become more popular.
Especially the "Go Fighting Season 1" which has not yet ended, the ratings have once again ushered in a surge, and it has directly become the most popular phenomenon-level variety show in the second half of the year!
"Hey? The official actually gave Mango TV a blow?"
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
But soon he reacted again. The official was warning these people in the entertainment industry not to think of using minors to obtain improper benefits.
Especially that teacher Huang, he has no bottom line!
As a teacher who teaches and educates people, he has shown completely different qualities in the film and television industry, and even people called him "hypocritical" behind his back. There is no one else.
And the incident with the female staff during the recording of the program is still a reason for many people to mock him.
In addition to the big event of the "official new regulations", Feng Xiaogang's actions in the past two days have really surprised many people.
First, he cried during the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival, complaining that it was not easy for him to win awards over the years.
Turning around, he actually blasted the domestic audience again, angrily denouncing netizens for giving bad reviews and low scores to "The Assassin".
"For this movie, director Hou Hsiao-hsien has devoted eight years of hard work, always putting the audience's feelings first, and striving to convey deep thoughts and emotions through every detail.
However, some viewers tried their best to belittle and even abuse because they couldn't understand it. I don't know what's in your head?
Those who don't like it can choose not to watch it, and those who don't understand it can watch it several times. Why can't you watch the movie in a civilized manner, feel and evaluate it with your heart?
If you are stupid, then go and learn, instead of speaking nonsense here and making some specious remarks..."
When these remarks appeared on Weibo, as expected, they directly blew up the netizens!
"Damn, a bunch of beggars came to the mainland to beg for food from us, don't they let us say a few words?"
"Fuck 'Hushubao', you are exposed, right? I want to scold, 'The Assassin' is a bad movie, so what? Come back and bite me!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I suddenly remembered that some time ago, the media photographed Feng Xiaogang and Shu Qi having dinner together. Is this a reunion between the old lovers?"
"It seems to be defending 'The Assassin', but it is actually speaking for Shu Qi. The title of 'Hushubao' is really appropriate!"
"Three sets of Shu Qi's sexy photos are for sale. You can use the pictures to show her and Feng Xiaogang together. If you are interested, please send me a private message."
"I want!"
"+1!"
"+1!"
…
To be honest, Chen Fei was really confused.
He really couldn't understand what kind of charm Shu Qi had that could charm Feng Xiaogang to such an extent? Help her speak up many times?
Feng Xiaogang had been scolded by netizens before due to the dispute between Zhao and Zhen, and even "won" the title of "Hu Shu Bao".
But now he didn't learn his lesson at all and actually started to speak up for Shu Qi again.
Why is this?
If it's because of her looks, Shu Qi's big mouth doesn't seem to have any advantage. She's not the kind of pretty female star.
"Could it be that the technology is better?"
