Chapter 862 Happy Twist’s New Project, There Is Still Something in the Blood of the Chinese People!
A new day has arrived, and Feiyue Film and Television officially released an announcement at 9 a.m. sharp.
Not surprisingly, as soon as the announcement was issued, it immediately became the target and focus of heated discussion and attention in the circle, and it quickly became a hot search topic!
Relevant media reprinted this announcement immediately and posted it on major entertainment news websites and social platforms.
"Feiyue Film and Television announced that it has reached a new strategic partnership with Happy Mahua. The former has successfully obtained 30% of the equity share of Happy Mahua through a certain amount of funds, resource allocation and other investment forms."
"Happy Twist was founded in 2003 by Zhang Chen. It is mainly engaged in film and television production of stage plays, musicals, sketches, online dramas, movies and artist management. The current best result is "Charlotte Trouble" released last year. The box office result was 2.445 billion.
However, it is more regrettable that the comedy movie "One Thought of Heaven" subsequently produced by Happy Twist suffered a box office failure and suffered huge losses! "
"Some experts analyzed that Feiyue Film and Television's investment in Happy Twist is actually focusing on the company's core business, which may involve stage drama business in the future."
Amid the heated discussion on the Internet, Happy Twist also took advantage of the situation and released an announcement, the content of which is almost the same as that of Feiyue Film and Television.
For a time, the heated discussion in the circle became more intense:
"What kind of ridiculous operation is Feiyue Film and Television doing? Film and television production, artist management, theaters, post-production, special effects, publicity, and the Youku online platform are now mixed with stage plays and musicals? How do I feel? Director Chen is playing a big game!”
"I always feel like he's planning something, but I just can't guess it."
"Don't forget, I also have shares in a top Hollywood production company abroad. It's perfect both internally and externally."
"So, Feiyue Film and Television is preparing to become the leader of domestic private film and television companies?"
"Huh? If I remember correctly, Feiyue Film and Television is now the benchmark and leader, right? Director Chen's achievements are simply not comparable to Huayi, right?"
There is constant discussion on the Internet, and there is an endless stream of people coming to inquire about the news.
Chen Fei just turned off his phone for a while and then received calls from several acquaintances.
"Brother? What are you fussing about? Why are you getting involved with a stage company again? I really don't understand what you're doing!"
For Wang Changtian and even others in the industry, Happy Mahua does not meet any investment conditions at all.
Although they produced top comedy movies such as "Charlotte", the follow-up "A Thought in Heaven" proved that this company is completely a blind cat with a dead mouse.
And in everyone's opinion, the success of "Charlotte Troubles" is entirely due to the participation of Feiyue Film and Television.
Therefore, since "One Thought in Heaven" was forced to be withdrawn by theaters, those investment companies that had high expectations for Happy Twist have all left.
But everyone never expected that Feiyue Film and Television would come together again and even invest in this company!
This operation really made many people in the industry look confused.
Listening to Wang Changtian's confused inquiry on the phone, Chen Fei said casually: "What's the operation? It's because I have collaborated on a hit comedy movie before, so I am quite optimistic about this company, and then I Just invest.”
"Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple."
Chen Fei said it very firmly, and it was also true.
He was really optimistic about the future of Happy Mahua, and there happened to be a good opportunity at the moment, so he invested.
Wang Changtian's mind was full of disbelief, but he really couldn't guess what Chen Fei was thinking, so he had no choice but to scratch his head and change the topic.
"The third season of "Running Man" will end in half a month. How will we arrange the fourth season? And the recording of the second season of "Extreme Challenge" will also come to an end..."
Chen Fei interrupted him and said bluntly: "Let everything continue as usual. I don't have time to pay attention to these things. You can just discuss it with Gu Gu."
"It can be done! Haha, when will you finish filming "Operation Red Sea"? Let's get together when we get back?"
"Okay, then I'll go to the light and taste your Wuyi Dahongpao."
"Haha, no problem. You are welcome to come over at any time. I will give you a few more and bring them back to the old man for a taste."
Wang Changtian is very excited. After tasting the "taste" of the two programs "Running Brothers" and "Extreme Challenge", he often lingers and feels happy.
He was now afraid that Chen Fei would suddenly decide not to play with the light, and that would be the end of the world.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
If nothing else happens, it will never happen again, unless a fierce conflict breaks out between Guangguang and Feiyue Film and Television.
In Wang Changtian's view, this is absolutely impossible.
It's too late for him to curry favor with Chen Fei now, so how could he deliberately cause trouble?
…
At the same time, Happy Mahua Company was in the large conference room.
Zhang Chen was sitting in the main seat. On his left and right were the other two founders of the company, Yu Kai and Tian Youliang. Below him were Yan Fei, Peng Damo, Shen Teng, Ma Li and other backbones and shareholders of the company.
Facing the people in front of him, Zhang Chen smiled and said, "You must have read the latest announcement issued by the company, right?"
"Look! Look!"
Shen Teng nodded repeatedly and asked a series of questions in a very eloquent manner: "Mr. Zhang, so from now on, we and Feiyue Film and Television will be allies?"
"That's right." Zhang Chen responded: "They account for 30% of our company's shares and are already the second largest shareholder. Of course they are allies.
Moreover, Mr. Su also promised me that he will fully support our company in creating new scripts, including movies, TV series, variety shows, stage plays, and musicals, all of which can be rolled out one by one.
Even all current actors of the company will have the opportunity to appear in film and television works produced by Feiyue Film and Television. "
After hearing these words, everyone suddenly became excited.
"This relationship is great! It seems that I have to go to Feiyue Film and Television for a run, maybe I can get a role as a leading actor in a costume drama."
"Shen Teng, are you still shameless?" Ma Li looked at him with a look of disgust: "Just you? A costume drama? Are you afraid that the costume will burst?"
"Haha, yes, yes, if you want to play the male lead in costume, I have to go."
"Song Yang, get away, I think you're disgusting."
Seeing a group of people fighting and having no formality, Zhang Chen wasn't angry at all. After all, he was actually quite excited at the moment.
But, despite being excited, business has to be done.
"Dong dong dong!"
Zhang Chen knocked on the table to signal them to be quiet, and then looked at Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
"Forget about "One Thought in Heaven", if you lose, you will lose, but we must be cautious in the future. We can't make the stake too big. We must start with a small cost and accumulate experience step by step.
Lao Yan, Lao Peng, you two are professionals. Can you tell me whether our company has any projects suitable for investment? "
Hearing this, Yan Fei and Peng Damo looked at each other and already had a decision in their hearts.
The latter chose to remain silent, while the former said: "Mr. Zhang, we have recently watched a very good drama. The story is very novel and the investment is not high. It is very suitable for practicing and accumulating experience."
"Oh?" This sudden unexpected surprise made Zhang Chen a little excited: "What kind of drama is it? How much is the investment cost?"
Yan Fei introduced in detail: "This topic mainly tells a series of ridiculous stories caused by a donkey named "De Shui" that makes people laugh..."
Peng Damo helped from the side: "We have done some detailed calculations and found that the total investment will probably not exceed 20 million, which is similar to "Charlotte Trouble"."
"Is it a comedy?"
"Well, that's right, it's comedy. After all, this aspect happens to be our strength."
Zhang Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, you go back and prepare the corresponding scripts and project documents, and then bring them to me directly. I will take the time to ask Mr. Su and Director Chen for their opinions. After all, they Much more professional than us.”
"good."
Yan Fei and Peng Damo looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed across their faces.
If nothing else, this should be done.
…
The filming progress of the movie "Operation Red Sea" at sea is quite fast.
Since the filming of the "rescuing the merchant ship from the terrorists" scene was completed, the subsequent filming of the drama was like taking a high-speed train. It was so fast!
Zhang Hanyu and Zhang Yi are both seasoned actors, so they didn't even need to shoot a second time when they were having a conversation.
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed quietly.
The last scene at sea was officially announced at 10 o'clock in the morning!
"At 3:43 this morning, our ship received an emergency message from above. Just five days ago... there was a sudden emergency in a certain country. According to the instructions from above, the navy instructed our ship to immediately go to the place where the incident occurred and evacuate our country. The expats there!”
As the relevant orders were issued, the camera turned and relevant news announcements appeared on the screen.
"Terrorists...many people disappeared, kidnapped, and crimes occurred frequently..."
Everyone at the scene was watching very carefully, fearing that they would miss any information.
A minute later, the officer continued to speak: "Currently, there are more than 100 registered personnel from our country who need to be evacuated, and there are also more than 20 foreign employees employed by our company..."
After the lines were finished, the crew immediately started transitioning.
Except for Luo Xing, who left the team due to injury, all other members of the Jiaolong team arrived at the scene, began to prepare weapons and ammunition, and rushed to the battlefield to carry out the evacuation mission.
At the same time, the new sniper used to replace Luo Xing also officially came on stage.
Chen Fei picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Huang Jingyu, it's your turn."
"Over!"
A response came from the loudspeaker, and then a military helicopter fell from the sky and landed on the deck.
Huang Jingyu, who was fully armed, stepped out of the plane and went straight to Zhang Yi.
"Report to the captain, sniper Gu Shun is here to report!"
"Welcome." Zhang Yi smiled, and then called the actor who played the observer "Li Dao" to introduce them to each other.
What follows is another long drama.
The filming continued until three o'clock in the afternoon. As the scene changed, the warships officially began to dock, and the crew would also move to the next shooting location.
"Report to the political commissar, Ivia has approved our entry into Ohafa Port."
"The entire ship enters Level 2 combat deployment!"
"yes!"
After the three lines ended, Chen Fei immediately arranged for the drone to be activated and began to record all the deployment and preparations of the warship when it docked.
By this time, all the serious marines were present.
All the crew members performed their duties and worked nervously and orderly. The radar, optoelectronics, and small arms buglers all had their eyes wide open, fearing that they would miss any air or surface target.
Weapon systems such as missiles, naval guns, and jammers are all tested and on standby, ready to fight against invading enemies at any time!
Time moved backward minute by minute, and suddenly, another voice came.
"Right rudder fifteen! Deploy at the dock!"
Soon, the warship successfully arrived at the port.
The red banners "Warmly welcome Chinese compatriots aboard the ship" and "The motherland sends warships to take relatives home" hung on the ship's side are particularly eye-catching.
The bright red color from the motherland and the deep affection of relatives of the People's Liberation Army made the compatriots who had been tortured by the war burst into tears with joy.
"Look! It's a warship from our Chinese Navy!"
Shouts, applause, and cheers continued to resound over the pier!
People waved the five-star red flags in their hands and sang the national anthem. The dock area suddenly became a sea of five-star red flags. That bright and dazzling red is the most touching scenery!
However, at the same time, Chen Fei's monitor lens had been transferred to the second film crew.
All members of the Dragon Team are in place and are waiting for orders!
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and answered the order and phone call from the captain.
"Report, I am Yang Rui!"
"I just received a call for help from He Qingliu, the consul in Iraq. He and the last group of expatriates were attacked during the evacuation. The local area is temporarily unable to provide rescue personnel, but they allow our troops to enter the city to rescue people..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi came to all the members of the Jiaolong team and gave the order directly.
"Go! Rescue!"
The last scene shows the dragon team led by Zhang Yi turning their backs on the warship, charging towards the city without hesitation, preparing for rescue.
Chen Fei kept staring at the monitor screen and said slowly: "3...2...1! Ok!"
Following his order, all cameras pressed the pause button at the same time.
After carefully checking to make sure that all the shots were correct, Chen Fei immediately raised the loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone is fixing it. Today's shooting ends here. We will have a day off tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow!"
In an instant, bursts of cheers and cheers came from the warship, the dock area and other places.
Although there are many foreigners who cannot understand Chinese, seeing how excited these people from the East are, they can probably guess that this is some good news announced by the director.
For a moment, they also cheered.
Chen Fei sorted out the memory disk and kept it all intact, then found Liu Yifei who was wearing military uniform and taking photos with the extras.
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel good to wear a military uniform?"
Liu Yifei nodded heavily: "Yeah, it feels great. As soon as I put it on, I feel like my blood is boiling. I want to defend my country and defend my country, and I feel like I want to go to the battlefield and charge into battle."
As a special guest actor, Liu Yifei actually only had one scene in the entire movie. After the warship docked, she held the little girl's hand and led many expatriates onto the warship.
But just such a shot made her blood boil, her heart surge, and she wanted to do something big!
I have to say that there is still something in the Chinese blood.
…
In the evening, all the leading actors and extras gathered together and started eating a big pot of rice on the warship.
At the same time, as soon as Chen Fei turned on his phone, he saw an extremely hot trending headline popping up on Weibo!
Looking around, in the glorious history of the film and television industry, Galloping Horse was once a very dazzling legend.
It once stood on the threshold of listing and seemed to be about to open a new chapter. However, the turn of fate came so suddenly that people were caught off guard.
In late November last year, a lawsuit that shocked the entire film and television industry began.
CCB Culture filed a lawsuit with the court, requiring Pony Galloping to fulfill the gambling agreement and repurchase shares at a premium of 635 million yuan.
This news was like a bombshell, triggering widespread attention and speculation in the industry at the time.
And since then, every movement of the galloping pony has touched the heartstrings of countless people!
As time went by, this lawsuit gradually became a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
Today, the court finally made its final verdict: "Gallant Pony must unconditionally fulfill the gambling contract and pay the huge compensation of 635 million!"
However, for Galloping Horse, this compensation is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Its finances are already stretched thin and cannot bear such a heavy burden.
Faced with this cruel reality, Galloping Horse can only choose the path of bankruptcy and liquidation...
After the news came out, the entire film and television industry was shocked. Many people expressed regret and emotion, sighing at the collapse of Galloping Horse.
"Think about Pony's past glory, and then compare it with today's decline. How unpredictable things are!"
In the cafeteria, hearing Chen Fei's sigh, Huang Xiaoming frowned unconsciously.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the gambling agreement between Yang Ying and Hua Yi.
It would be fine if the subsequent bet succeeds, but if it fails, the consequences may not be much different from Galloping Horses now.
"Alas, am I too doting on her? How could I agree to let her sign this gambling agreement with Huayi?"
Although Huang Xiaoming himself is also one of the capitals in the entertainment industry, he is very resistant to the operation of "betting".
Because the risks involved are too great, once a problem occurs, it is not easy to solve.
That is hundreds of millions of funds, how can someone just take it out?
