Chapter 832: Determined to Leave? This Dance Is Graceful, Colorful, and Cheeky. The "Movie Master"
Chapter 832 Have you decided to leave? This dance is graceful and colorful...the cheeky "film master"
The dead silence in the office did not last long, and Chen Fei's voice soon sounded in Wang Baoqiang's ears.
Unexpectedly, he did not appear very angry, but still asked in a very gentle tone: "Quiting "Running Man"? Can I hear your reasons?"
Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised his head and saw that Chen Fei was looking at him calmly, not as angry as he expected.
"Huh!" After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he organized his words and replied: "Because after recording the second season of "Running Man", I suddenly realized that many viewers seemed to have a solidified image of my character.
No matter what kind of role I play, they will automatically put me in the variety show into the role, which makes my acting skills seem to be malfunctioning, and I always look the same..."
Wang Baoqiang frowned and gave many reasons.
Sitting aside, Gu Yongqiang frowned slightly, and the names of "Deng Chao", "Chen He" and others appeared in his mind unconsciously.
The next second, he suddenly realized that the images of these people seemed to be solidified in his mind!
Deng Chao's abstraction, Chen He's wackiness, Zheng Kai's speed...whenever I think of these people's names, their images in the variety show will automatically pop into my mind and I won't be able to get rid of them!
"Does variety shows also affect actors' acting skills? What is the reason for this?"
At this moment, Chen Fei's voice suddenly sounded: "What you said does make sense. If an actor stays in variety shows, his acting skills will indeed deteriorate, and he will even feel awkward in everything he performs.
Now that you have made up your mind, go and sign a supplementary agreement with Mr. Gu later. We will find a suitable substitute before the recording of the third season begins. "
With that said, Chen Fei looked at Gu Yongqiang who was sitting next to him.
"Don't worry, Director Chen, the new guests will be in place within half a month at the latest." Gu Yongqiang assured.
After all, this is "Running Man", and there are countless celebrities and artists in the industry who are eyeing candidates for permanent guests. Finding a suitable guest is simply too easy.
The reason why it takes half a month is mainly to conduct a comprehensive investigation and not to make a hasty decision.
Chen Fei nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wang Baoqiang and asked, "By the way, have you confirmed your schedule for the second half of the year?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Baoqiang was stunned and said quickly: "No...no, they are all empty."
Chen Fei stood up, reached out and patted his shoulder: "The company is preparing for "Detective Chinatown 2". You should prepare yourself and sign the contract in a week. Think of it as my gift to you for the opening of the studio."
An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on Wang Baoqiang's face, and he quickly thanked: "Thank you, Director Chen, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might still be doing a small job..."
Chen Fei laughed: "There is no need to say such words in the future. Since you have decided to be a pure actor, then show your skills and regard it as repaying me."
"Don't worry, I will never let you down!" Wang Baoqiang promised with a serious look.
…
In the afternoon, Chen Fei continued to be busy with the promotional activities of "Operation Mekong", and took time to work on the Chinese version of "La La Land" and some correction work on "The Founding of the Army".
Since the cast lineup was announced, "Zhu Xian" has become really popular, and it has not left Weibo's hot search list for two days in a row.
And because of Hu Ge, even the ratings of "The Pretender" have skyrocketed.
This kind of continuous popularity has really opened the eyes of many producers, and it has also made other actors in the domestic entertainment industry envious.
However, in comparison, a mountain is still higher than a mountain.
When the draft about "Mermaid" and Zhou Xingchi appeared on Weibo in the evening, it immediately attracted the attention, support and recognition of countless movie fans.
Without exception, these drafts all revolve around emotionally charged topics such as "remembering", "remembering", and "commemorating".
There are even some media outlets that have shouted out that extremely “lethal” slogan:
"Over the years, we have become accustomed to watching pirated and free movies. This has caused Zhou Xingchi, our star, to indirectly lose a lot of deserved box office... Don't you think we all owe him a movie?" Movie tickets?”
As soon as this marketing strategy came out, it touched people's heartstrings very cleverly and aroused widespread resonance!
But having said that, this strategy can only be used properly by someone like Zhou Xingchi who has accumulated a deep audience base and emotional connection. If it were anyone else, it might only attract criticism.
But the only flaw is that this strategy completely uses the audience sentiment accumulated by Zhou Xingchi over the past decades as a firewood and ignited it directly at once. It is conceivable that its energy and influence are huge.
When Chen Fei returned home from work in the evening, he saw that the topic "We all owe Mr. Xing a movie ticket" had reached the top of Weibo's hot search list.
The related discussions and topics have directly suppressed the popularity of the big IP development of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Zhu Xian".
"As expected of Zhou Xingchi! Movie fans have such a strong filter, it shouldn't be a problem for "Mermaid" to reach a box office of 3 billion..."
Chen Fei murmured to himself, and the future of the movie "Operation Mekong" appeared in his mind.
During the movie promotion roadshow these days, he stopped by Golden Shield and got a lot of very good news for the movie.
The ministry attaches great importance to the film and promised him "strong" support after the film is released.
As for how powerful this "power" is, it was not stated clearly.
But, after all, it is an entire ministerial system. You can't be stingy and just help with propaganda, right?
Chen Fei believes that there will be a "surprise" waiting for him by then!
…
Driving all the way back to the villa, the sky was already darkening.
Chen Fei took out the key and opened the door of the villa.
The living room was empty with no one around, but the running air conditioner and bright lights indicated that there was someone in the villa.
Chen Fei first took a look in the bedroom, then in the bathroom, but could not find any trace of Liu Yifei.
Finally, he set his sights on the closed practice room.
He walked forward, turned the door handle, and the practice room door was opened smoothly by him.
"You're back!"
Liu Yifei's voice came from inside.
"Well, what are you doing?"
Chen Fei stepped on his slippers and walked into the practice room.
He actually doesn't come here often, because it's just an empty room with nothing interesting, so Liu Yifei often comes here to practice yoga or something.
In comparison, he prefers to go to the gym in the basement.
However, after walking into the practice room today, he found that it had changed drastically!
All the windows in the room were covered with thick curtains, mirrors were installed in some places on the surrounding walls and ceiling, and the ground was paved with smooth wooden floors.
A presser foot bar was set up in front of the mirror on one wall. On the opposite side was a yoga rope hanging from the ceiling. There was also a steel pipe standing from the floor to the ceiling in the center of the room.
Looking around, the entire practice room has been decorated into a dance studio!
"When was this place renovated? Wasn't it a practice room before? Why did it become a dance studio?"
Listening to Chen Fei's question, Liu Yifei answered with a smile: "It's all prepared for "La La Land". Doesn't the heroine in the movie need to sing and dance? So I plan to start learning dance in the near future."
"Oh, that's right!"
Chen Fei first responded, and in the next second, when he looked at the dance clothes Liu Yifei was wearing and the contoured "S"-shaped figure, he suddenly became interested.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat first, and then said seriously: "Since you have started practicing dance, and I happen to be a film director, it shouldn't be too much to test your training results, right?"
Liu Yifei was slightly stunned at first, and her eyes subconsciously fell on Chen Fei's fiery gaze.
She couldn't help but spat: "Bah! You pervert! Do you want to test the dance? You are obviously... just..."
"Hey? Why didn't I test the dance?" Chen Fei pretended to be innocent: "If you don't let me see your training results, how can I be sure that you can meet my requirements?"
This shameless reason immediately attracted a series of eye rolls from Liu Yifei.
But in the end, she still chose to meet Chen Fei's request.
After all, his reasons were indeed sound, and she had no excuse at all to object.
The music soon sounded in the dance room, and Liu Yifei stood quietly in the center like a black swan about to spread its wings and fly.
The black dance clothes tightly wrapped her graceful figure and outlined her perfect curves. Her snow-white skin looked even more crystal clear against the black background.
As the music slowly progressed, she gently raised her leg, like a slender feather flying gracefully through the air.
Her toes began to move flexibly, as if telling a story about dance and dreams.
…
In Chen Fei's sight, every movement of Liu Yifei raising her legs, turning around, and lowering her waist was full of the unique feminine grace and strength, and her dance was as smooth as running water.
As the music gradually became more exciting, the dance also reached its climax.
Liu Yifei quickly came to the yoga rope, grabbed the rope with both hands, kicked her legs, and shot her body into the air like an arrow off the string.
In the air, her body flipped lightly, like a bird flying freely.
As the rhythm of the music changes, her movements become more complex and challenging.
She even made a light horse movement in the air, with her legs parallel to the ground like a straight line, showing amazing flexibility.
Then, she began to lower her waist and lean back again, until her body was almost parallel to the ground, as if she was fighting against gravity.
And when the music suddenly stopped, she ended with a stunning standing one-horse pose, with her straight legs widely spread apart, her toes raised high, and her whole body seemed to be frozen in the air, very stable.
"Okay, that's great! That's great!"
Chen Fei generously sent encouragement and applause.
He really didn't expect that Liu Yifei's dancing level was so high. The short performance just now made him realize the unique charm and temptation of dance.
"Hmph! How was it? Did it open your eyes?"
Miss Liu had a smile on her face, wiping the sweat from her forehead while looking at Chen Fei proudly.
"Well, it was indeed an eye-opener."
Fed Chen pretended to be serious again, walked towards her seriously, and then took on the teacher's airs.
"However, there is a detail that needs to be corrected just now, for example, this action should be to rotate downwards first and then turn the waist..."
At first, Liu Yifei didn't think too much, and thought that there was really something wrong with her action.
But as Fei Chen's "guidance" continued, she suddenly found that it seemed that two hands had been taking advantage of her.
And by the time she reacted, it was already too late!
"No... I'm sweating now, I have to take a shower first... Can we go to the bedroom? Not here, there are so many mirrors... Woo woo..."
As a student, how can you question and disobey your teacher?
Fed Chen was very dissatisfied with Liu Yifei's "arrogance", so he spent several hours to finally correct her attitude.
And Miss Liu also gradually became much more obedient from the initial resistance and disobedience, and even took the initiative to admit her mistakes in the end.
The next morning, Chen Fei simply slept in because he was exhausted.
He didn't need to punch in at the company, and no one cared if he was late, so he slept in with peace of mind.
However, when he got up at noon, he had several teeth marks on his arm.
"Don't do it again! Don't do it in the dance studio next time... There are so many mirrors, it's so embarrassing! You are such a bad person, you promised to teach me how to dance, but you didn't keep your word..."
Liu Yifei hummed and grumbled, kicking Chen Fei's leg from time to time, and rolling her eyes at him.
"Hehe." Chen Fei responded shamelessly: "I promise, this is just one hundred million times, I will definitely do it again next time."
Liu Yifei widened her eyes: "What did you say?!"
"No, no, no, I won't do it again today."
"Oh! You bad guy, believe it or not, I will break it and throw it in the trash can!"
"Wow! You want to murder your husband!"
"Who is your wife, hum!"
...
After playing in bed for a while, the two got up before 12 o'clock.
Liu Yifei chose a restaurant and called them to deliver the meal.
While waiting for the meal, she turned into the dance studio and began to clean up the "battlefield" of the two last night.
Chen Fei sat in the living room and watched the relevant news from the Venice International Film Festival.
Just last night, the 72nd Venice International Film Festival officially came to an end, and the media has summarized some key information.
"Congratulations to Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vegas for winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Film for "Come From Away"... Italian actress Valeria Golino won the Best Actress Award for "For Your Sake", becoming the fourth actress in the history of the Venice International Film Festival to win the Best Actress Award twice."
"It is very regrettable that no domestic films won any awards at this Venice International Film Festival."
"The movie "Old Cannon" directed by Guan Hu and starring "old guns" such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Hanyu and "fresh meat" Li Yifeng, Wu Yifan and others appeared at the Venice International Film Festival as the closing film."
"On the closing red carpet, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhonglei, Guan Hu, Li Yifeng, Wu Yifan, Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Liang Jing, Shang Yuxian and others all appeared , opening the red carpet; Xu Qing's long skirt drags on the ground, showing off her beautiful legs; Liang Jing's white suit is neutral and handsome; Shang Yuxian's wine red tube-top dress is fresh and moving..."
"After the award ceremony, Hou Xiaoxian, one of the judges of the main competition unit, said in an interview with domestic media: The mainland film market no longer has the soil for the development of art films, and fast-food commercial films will become the norm, which is really regrettable..."
In the living room of the villa, Chen Fei's laughter suddenly rang out:
"Haha, you don't admit that your own movies are not good, and you insist that the audience can't understand it. There is no soil for the development of art films in the mainland market. It's just a mouthful of shit!"
You know, after several years of hard work, the "New Art Film Recovery" plan organized by Chen Fei, Jia Zhangke and Pan Asia Cinema is proceeding in an orderly manner.
It is not an exaggeration to say that at least nearly 10 high-quality art films are listed in Pan Asia Cinema with the help of this plan every year, and they have successfully achieved profitability.
It should be noted that these movies were all unknown before they were released.
But even this kind of art film that has not been widely promoted can eventually make a profit and obtain a box office result of no less than 50 million.
But why did "The Assassin" fail?
If only one person said that it was not good, it is very likely that the fans have a problem with their vision.
But now the key is that almost 8 out of 10 people who have watched this movie said that the movie was too messy, too bad, and too obscure, almost like watching a slide show...
The eyes of movie fans are not stupid, and the box office data is the best proof.
But only Hou Xiaoxian himself could not accept failure. He advertised everywhere that others could not understand his movie, and gave himself the nickname of "Movie Master".
I have to say that this "master" is really thick-skinned!
...
Because the domestic film did not win the award, neither the insiders nor the netizens paid much attention to the news from the Venice International Film Festival.
In comparison, everyone still prefers to eat "big melons"!
“According to industry insiders, after the expiration of his contract, Wang Baoqiang did not choose to continue to sign with Feiyinghuang Agency, but resolutely chose to leave in an attempt to seek a better development path.”
“It is reported that one member of the regular guest lineup of "Running Man" will choose to leave and will no longer participate in the recording of the third season... The specific list of personnel is still unknown.”
“Hot news: Wang Baoqiang is suspected of having an irreconcilable major conflict with his original agency due to film remuneration, and the two sides have since parted ways and become strangers.”
