Chapter 878 Chen Fei's Stern Warning!

To be honest, Chen Fei originally thought that he could make movies fast enough, but what he never expected was that among the strong, there was actually a strong one!

On the 10th, a piece of film and television news from the Mainland directly topped the Weibo hot search list.

"It lasted two months and was jointly produced by Huayi, Dongyang Meila and Yaolai Pictures. It was directed by Feng Xiaogang, Liu Zhenyun served as the screenwriter, and starred by Fan Bingbing, Dong Chengpeng, Yu Hewei, Guo Tao and others. ", officially announced this morning!"

"At the final press conference for the film "I'm Not Pan Jinlian," Feng Xiaogang said that he would lead the film to compete for awards at international film festivals, and planned to have the film enter the domestic theater market by the end of the year."

"Affected by the gambling agreement, Feng Xiaogang said that this film must not only gain in awards, but also make great achievements in box office... to achieve a double harvest in box office and awards!"

During lunch, Chen Fei watched the news and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"With a gambling agreement of more than 1 billion, it's a lot of pressure. No wonder the movie was shot so fast. I just don't know if the quality of the movie can be guaranteed?"

If you want to achieve both box office and awards success, this is not something you can do casually.

Even Feng Xiaogang has to make something serious and eye-catching. Otherwise, how can a realistic movie get high box office?

And the most important thing is that there is a roadblock in front of us, Wanda!

Chen Fei didn't think Wanda would be indifferent. Although Big Pharaoh seemed to be quiet during this period, he might be harboring evil in his heart.

In his conjecture, perhaps after Wanda Pictures handles the current embarrassing situation the company is facing, it will be time to start working on Huayi!

After watching the news, Chen Fei subconsciously raised his head and looked at the set. He saw that Zhou Xun was still holding a mobile phone and didn't know what he was talking about.

Glancing at the time on his watch, Chen Fei frowned slightly and shouted, "Zhou Xun? Haven't you finished your phone call yet? We're getting ready to start shooting here, so come over and touch up your makeup."

"Hey! It's coming! It's coming!"

After shouting to Chen Fei, Zhou Xun spoke very quickly to the other end of the phone: "Director Wang, I will go back on the 16th of this month at the latest. I will definitely go there as soon as possible. If you are auditioning for the crew, please be sure to wait for me!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone and walked hurriedly towards the set.

The makeup artist immediately followed and started to touch up her makeup.

With some curiosity, Chen Fei walked up to her with a walkie-talkie and asked directly: "Why are you so secretive these days? What are you doing? Holding a mobile phone and making calls all day long? Is that true? What big business?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xun subconsciously looked to the left and right.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, she replied in a low voice: "I can tell you, but you must not spread it!"

Chen Fei glanced at her and rolled his eyes with a speechless face: "It's not the first day you met me. Am I the kind of person with a big mouth?"

"Hehe." Zhou Xun chuckled softly and explained: "Isn't "Operation Red Sea" almost finished? I'm currently in contact with a new project, which is a large-scale palace battle drama with a costume theme.

Over the past few days, I have been communicating with the director through phone calls. I have almost reached an agreement with the director. I just wait until I return to China and I can go to the audition with makeup. "

Chen Fei opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Large-scale, ancient costume, palace battle... through these words, he could vaguely guess which drama it was.

He subconsciously wanted to persuade Zhou Xun, but he felt that it was inappropriate because he seemed to have no reasonable reason to persuade her not to take this drama!

In the end, all the complicated emotions could only be reduced to one sentence: "Get ready to start shooting after putting on your makeup. You don't have many scenes left, so you can go back a few days early if you want."

Zhou Xun suddenly beamed: "Oh, thank you, Director Chen."

…

The time has come to the 12th, and a new imported Hollywood blockbuster "Gods of War: Eye of Power" has been released in the domestic theater market.

The box office result of 40.509 million on the first day was so dazzling that many domestic film producers were frightened.

At the same time, "Zootopia", which was released on the 4th, has now soared to 418 million in box office, and the film has an excellent reputation!

Under the influence of these two movies, the latest daily new box office of "Mermaid" unfortunately dropped below 10 million, and its box office potential is finally exhausted.

At this time, the film's total box office has surpassed "The Martian" and became the No. 2 box office record in Chinese film history.

When Chen Fei woke up and watched the news in the morning, he found that many media were praising "Mermaid" as if it was an epoch-making masterpiece.

As an investor, he naturally wanted to see the media praise the film.

But as a director, he couldn't help but blush.

Because he knew very well that "Mermaid" was not worthy of such overwhelming praise.

The reason why this movie has such a high box office is purely because it burned Zhou Xingchi's feelings. Other than that, the quality of the movie is really average.

From now on, audiences and movie fans will no longer owe Xingye movie tickets.

The time soon came to 12 noon. After the end of a scene where he was kidnapped by the enemy, Zhou Xun's scene was finally completed.

"Hey, everyone, keep busy, see you in the capital!"

She had already booked a plane ticket for the afternoon and was going to the airport after dinner.

She had been preparing for several days for the large-scale TV series about ancient costumes and palace battles, and was just waiting to rush back to audition.

Chen Fei said: "Pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to report that you are safe when you land."

"Okay, thank you director for your concern, haha."

After dinner, Zhou Xunhuo got into the car and left in a hurry, completely unaware of the complicated look Chen Fei looked at her.

On the 13th, news of the completion of "July and Ansheng" came from Xiangjiang and spread throughout the film and television industry.

"The love-themed movie "July and Ansheng", co-produced by Geek Pictures, Jiaying Pictures, and Alibaba Pictures, directed by Zeng Zhiwei's son Zeng Guoxiang, and starring Zhou Dongyu, Ma Siwan, Li Chengbin and others, has officially been announced."

"At the film finalization press conference, actor Zhou Dongyu burst into tears and thanked many seniors who had helped him during the filming of the film."

"Eric Tsang made a surprise appearance at the final press conference of "July and Ansheng"... hugged Zhou Dongyu and said that the Hong Kong film industry will always welcome her."

"..."

Chen Fei originally didn't pay much attention to this movie, but when he saw one of the news reports, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Isn't Zhou Dongyu born as a girl? He should be a member of the mainland film industry? How come he has integrated into the Hong Kong film industry so easily?"

After muttering a few words to himself, with doubts and confusion, he continued to devote himself to the filming of the literary and drama parts of "Operation Red Sea".

…

In a blink of an eye, the time finally came to the 15th.

While filming the last scene of "Operation Red Sea", Chen Fei noticed that many vehicles appeared outside the set, as well as many officers and soldiers with guns and live ammunition.

When he shouted "Cut" and announced that all the scenes of "Operation Red Sea" were officially completed, the doors of many commercial vehicles outside were opened immediately, followed by the arrival of leaders one after another.

As he had expected, he did not panic at all. After giving instructions to Shen Ao, he immediately went towards the leaders.

"Director Xu, Director Lin, Director Zhang..."

Looking around, all the people who came were leaders from the maritime administration. They were all wearing administrative jackets and looked like leaders.

Although the newcomers' positions were not high, Chen Fei still gave them the respect they deserved.

Fortunately, these people didn't put on airs in front of him, and all of them smiled gently.

One of them took the initiative and asked: "Director Chen, this is officially finished today, right?"

"Well, that's right." Chen Fei knew what they wanted, so he invited them immediately: "There will be a final press conference later. Several leaders arrived just in time. I'd rather bother you to take photos and chat with the media. Let’s talk…”

The purpose of these people coming here is for this moment, so naturally they will not refuse, and they all nodded in agreement.

…

Time soon came to the afternoon, and after the short finalization press conference, the news that "Operation Red Sea" was officially finalized spread back to China immediately.

"Co-produced by Hai Zheng Zhu Control, Feiyue Film and Television, Golden Harvest Pictures, Enlight, Shanghai Film, Wanda, China Film, Youku and other companies, with Chen Fei as director and screenwriter, starring Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Huang Jingyu and others The action and war-themed movie "Operation Red Sea" was officially announced this morning."

"Director Chen Fei said in a statement: The follow-up of "Operation Red Sea" will be fully followed by DotDing Digital, and it is expected to officially meet the fans early next year."

"Many leaders from the Department of Maritime Affairs and Art attended the final press conference of the movie "Operation Red Sea" and delivered important speeches!"

While many people in the industry were paying attention to the news online, Chen Fei was on the phone with Liu Yifei, who was in China.

"When will you come back? I miss you so much. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Listening to Miss Liu's coquettish tone on the phone, Chen Fei felt that his heartbeat began to accelerate.

How could he not miss his sweet-smelling girlfriend?

"The plane will land at about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Will you pick me up at the airport then?"

"Okay! Okay! I will be there on time."

The two of them talked affectionately and privately for a while, and then the conversation turned to business matters.

“How far along are the auditions for ‘La La Land’?”

"It's all done!" Liu Yifei explained very proudly: "I haven't announced it to the public yet. How about you help me take a look at the cast list when you come back, and then we will officially announce it to the public?"

"Okay, no problem."

While chatting, Chen Fei packed his luggage and prepared to rush to the airport overnight.

In fact, no one wanted to stay in Morocco for too long, so after consulting the entire crew, the flight was directly scheduled for the evening.

In this way, we can arrive in China just after dawn, so there will be no time difference.

Before boarding the plane, Chen Fei happened to see the latest announcement from Alibaba Pictures.

"Exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures, starring Yang Mi, Liu Kaiwei, and Zhang Zhiyao, the ancient costume and love-themed TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" adapted from the popular IP novel "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is officially launched today Announcement of completion.”

…

Although the smog in the capital is somewhat serious, in comparison, Chen Fei still feels that the air here is much better than that in Morocco.

Most of Morocco is a desert area, and the temperature is high. It's like staying in a steamer, which is extremely uncomfortable.

"It feels better to be home."

Chen Fei walked in the front, with Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yi standing next to him. Bodyguards and assistants followed closely around him, full of style!

Everyone did not choose to avoid the sight of the airport media and paparazzi, because they knew that in such an occasion, avoidance would be futile.

Such a large group of people would be very conspicuous no matter how they concealed it, so it was better not to conceal it at all.

As expected, as soon as they walked out of the passage, everyone was surrounded by a large group of reporters, paparazzi and fans.

The camera flashes kept flashing, and reporters asked questions one after another:

"Director Chen, what are your expectations for the box office performance of "Operation Red Sea"?"

"Director Chen, while you were away from the country, Huayi and Wanda had an extremely bad business competition. The former not only poached a vice president of the latter, but also took away as many as 28 senior executives. What do you think about this?”

"According to Wang Zhonglei, Wanda is very harsh in the treatment of its own executives. As a partner of Wanda, are you aware of this situation?"

"If Wanda and Huayi face each other in the future, which side will you choose to stand behind?"

"Will Wanda take targeted retaliation against Huayi's despicable tactics?"

As more and more people gathered around, the airport became packed.

Chen Fei knew in his heart that if he didn't tell some useful news today, the media and paparazzi would never let him leave!

After thinking for a moment, he already made a decision in his mind.

Facing the curious or expectant looks in front of him, he said directly: "I won't express too many opinions on the box office, because as a director, I naturally hope that the more the better, if I can surpass Operation Mekong is even better.

As for the conflict between Wanda and Huayi, I do have a few things to say about it. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet!

A group of reporters held their microphones high, their eyes flashing with "surprise".

They really didn't expect that Chen Fei would respond publicly to this matter!

The next second, a loud voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"Here I would like to use the mouths of major media to convey a few words to Huayi; I hope that on the premise of developing yourself, you will also consider the opinions and moods of your peers.

This situation of poaching people is completely normal in the industry, but I hope you can have a certain degree of restraint instead of poaching whomever you see and engage in all kinds of obscene and bottomless behavior.

Many people in Pan-Asia Cinemas, including Feiyue Film and Television and Doanjing Digital, have reported to me that they were harassed by headhunters sent by Huayi.

I hope you can stop it. If you continue to go your own way and engage in those dirty tricks, then don't blame me for being rude.

After all, if it’s just about money, treatment, and conditions, I think I still have a lot of advantages here, and everyone had better not make it too ugly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, airport security rushed over.

Chen Fei led a group of people and quickly broke through the siege and arrived outside the airport.

Before the reporters and paparazzi from behind continued to gather around him, he saw Liu Yifei's car at a glance and rushed over in three steps at a time.

By the time a group of people reacted, the commercial vehicle had already sped away.

Although the reporters and paparazzi were a little regretful that they could not dig out more information from Chen Fei, they were still extremely excited at this moment.

"Big news! Big news!"

"Hurry up and finish the manuscript, Feiyue Film and Television issued a warning..."

"Huayi has made public outrage this time, offended Wanda, and was warned by Chen Fei that she will have to shed her skin even if she doesn't die!"

…

In the car, Chen Feizheng and Liu Yifei were bored.

At the same time, his speech at the airport had already hit the Weibo hot search list in less than 10 minutes!

"At 10 o'clock this morning, all the crew members of "Operation Red Sea" returned to the mainland from Morocco and appeared at the Capital Airport."

"In the face of interviews with reporters, Director Chen Fei used the media to issue a warning to Huayi, asking the latter to put aside its caution and not get involved..."

"According to Director Chen Fei, employees of Pan-Asia Cinemas, Feiyue Films, and Dot Eye Digital have all been harassed by headhunters sent by Huayi!"

"Although the attitude was not clearly stated, it can be analyzed from director Chen Fei's tone that regarding the conflict between Wanda and Huayi, Feiyue Pictures chose to side with Wanda and showed its serious dissatisfaction with Huayi!"

For a moment, the "water surface" that had become calm once again surged into huge waves!

Many investors did not expect that Chen Fei would target Huayi like this in public, and even used words such as "warning".

This shows how strong this dissatisfaction is!

"Huayi's move can be regarded as directly pushing Feiyue Film and Television and Wanda into an offensive and defensive alliance!"

"Hey, the two Wang brothers have hit the wall this time."

"Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. Are you going to start taking sides?"

"I always feel like Wanda is holding back something big, and I don't know what Big Pharaoh will do. Can Huayi be able to handle it?"

"Fight! Fight hard! I can't wait to watch and eat, hahaha!"

"Damn it, these two brothers are so cruel! Even if they poached Wanda, they actually attacked Feiyue Film and Television. What are they going to do? Do they have to offend all their colleagues to death?"

"I'm actually quite curious, why haven't the executives at Feiyue Film and Television been poached? How generous compensation does Chen Fei give to his employees?"
