Chapter 886: All In! Wedding Prank! Monopoly! Hegemonism?
As the night deepened, Chen Fei did not choose to stay up late, but fell asleep with Liu Yifei in his arms before 12 o'clock.
There are still many scenes to be filmed tomorrow, so of course you have to get a good rest.
However, the other stars, actors, directors and other big names in the entertainment industry did not sleep well because of the late night. Instead, they were excited and had difficulty falling asleep.
In the mountain city of Chongqing, the crew of "Passing by Your World" directly booked a four-star hotel as the base of the crew.
At this time, in the luxury suite on the top floor, Deng Chao was talking on the phone with Sun Li.
"You mean, all these words about LeTV Pictures' "backdoor listing" were announced by President Jia himself?"
Because of the filming, Deng Chao did not attend the shareholders' meeting held by LeTV Pictures, but his wife Sun Li went.
But he never expected that he just missed a shareholders' meeting, but actually missed such a "good news"!
"That's right." Sun Li couldn't hide her excitement on the other end of the phone: "I've decided, we'll choose the second condition, this great opportunity must not be missed!"
"Yeah, I think so too." Deng Chao quickly responded: "The financial power of the family is in your hands, you can do whatever you want, this opportunity is really not to be missed.
Once it is properly operated, the income will be at least hundreds of millions, which is much faster than our hard work of filming."
"Okay, since you agree, then I'll arrange it."
"Yeah, get it done as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."
Such conversations not only took place between Deng Chao and Sun Li, but also filled other people's homes.
Zhang Yimou is also raising money now!
Compared to Deng Chao and Sun Li, he is purely "all in".
"Yimou? Are you sure you want to invest all the money you have earned in these years? If there is any loss, all your efforts in these years will be in vain!"
However, in the face of his wife's dissuasion, Zhang Yimou was very determined!
"I have taken too many wrong paths in my life. Over the past decade, although I have enjoyed reputation, compared with other people, the wealth I have earned is not equal to my reputation.
The LeTV Pictures' backdoor listing is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss it again, it will be impossible to make a lot of money in the future."
Hearing this, the wife didn't say anything more, but silently handed the bank card with a large deposit to Zhang Yimou.
She knew nothing about LeTV Pictures' listing. Since her husband said that this company has great prospects, it should be right, right?
However, compared with Zhang Yimou's "all-in" operation, Huang Xiaoming was much calmer.
In the bedroom, he was leaning on the bed reading the script while taking notes with a pen, reminding Yang Ying: "I don't think you need to be so concerned about LeTV Pictures, because our base camp is Huace, and it's useless to go too deep there."
As a well-known investor in the industry, Huang Xiaoming has invested in many fields.
He always advocated separating eggs and finding more baskets to put them in, rather than just throwing them all into one basket.
However, Yang Ying did not agree with his idea.
As a popular first-line actress, she had her own ideas. In her opinion, it was better to go all-in on one company and it would also help reduce energy consumption.
Therefore, she said without turning her head while removing her makeup: "Since you think it is unnecessary, then you don't have to participate. It just so happens that I got a large sum of money when I gambled with Huayi, and I can use this money to invest in LeTV."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming frowned immediately.
He was actually very opposed to Yang Ying's bet with Huayi, but Yang Ying did not discuss it with him at all and signed the agreement without authorization.
The matter was done, and he could not say anything. He could only try his best to help Yang Ying get the role.
It is better to complete the bet as soon as possible than to be in debt.
"Are you so optimistic about LeEco? That's hundreds of millions of dollars. Are you really going to invest it all? Aren't you afraid that it will be a waste of money?"
"What are you talking about?" Yang Ying turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, retorting: "You don't understand at all. LeEco Pictures' current development prospects are even better than Huayi!
If the listing is successful this time, if I can get on this ship, I will definitely make several times the profit!
In this way, when my child is born, he will have no worries about food, drink, clothes, and enjoy wealth and glory!"
When he heard the word "child", Huang Xiaoming's extra thoughts disappeared immediately.
He threw the script away, got out of bed impatiently, came to the dressing table, and looked at Yang Ying's abdomen lovingly: "How do you feel now? Did the baby kick you?"
"Are you stupid from reading the script?" Yang Ying looked at him with a helpless smile: "Calculate the time, it's only the second month now, he may not be formed yet, how can he have the strength to kick me?"
"Hehe, that's true." Huang Xiaoming rarely showed a little panic, he scratched his head, and continued: "The family doctor will come to your house tomorrow, I have booked a confinement center for you, you don't have to work during this period, just rest assured to take care of the baby."
"That won't work!"
Yang Ying frowned and muttered: "I have already agreed to Huace, and that "The King's Woman" still needs me to play the leading role."
"But your body..."
"It's okay." Yang Ying waved her hand and said, "The doctor said that you can't stay in bed all day when you are pregnant. You still need to go out and walk around, so filming is exercise."
Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming didn't say much.
After thinking about it, he said, "Then I'll call Huace tomorrow and ask the production team to take care of you during filming."
"Hehe, that's fine." Yang Ying smiled and mentioned the original topic again: "What about LeTV Pictures?"
"It's up to you, it's up to you. Since you think it's okay, then go ahead. Such a large amount of money will not disappear without a trace."
At this time, Huang Xiaoming, who was overflowing with fatherly love, couldn't care so much.
As long as Yang Ying could be happy and as long as the child was born smoothly, everything else was just a small problem.
...
April 2nd was coming in a flash.
Early in the morning, Chen Fei saw the box office results of the domestic films that were released yesterday.
"Hot Pot Heroes, a crime and romance film co-produced by New Classics Media, Wanda Films, and Kung Fu Films, directed by Yang Qing, and starring Chen Kun, Bai Baihe, and Qin Hao, closed at 35.1275 million on the first day of its release."
"My Grandpa Agent, co-produced by Yingyi Entertainment and Enlight Films, starring Hong Jingbao, Liu Dehua, Li Qinqin, and Feng Jiayi, closed at 20.961 million on the first day of its release."
"My Upper Bunk, a romance film produced by LeTV Pictures, directed by Zhang Qi, and starring Chen Xiao, Qin Lan, and Du Tianhao, closed at 23.165 million on the first day of its release."
"The total market volume on April 1 was 115 million yuan, and Hot Pot Heroes successfully won the No. 1 single-day box office!"
"Due to the failure to log in to the Pan-Asia Cinema Line for screening, My Grandpa Agent had a very poor first-day screening rate, resulting in poor box office performance..."
Looking at the online news, Chen Fei smiled unconsciously.
As he expected, after losing the Pan Asia Cinema Line, the movies produced by Enlight Pictures were half dead.
Although other cinemas did not refuse to release "My Grandpa the Agent", it inevitably affected the box office, so that the movie starring Liu Dehua did not even have a high box office of a youth-themed movie.
"Humph! You will suffer from your own sins! Aren't you good at stealing the box office? Then keep stealing and see who loses more."
At 8 o'clock, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei came to the shooting site of "La La Land" and prepared to start today's shooting.
However, just when the crew was about to start shooting, Su Guohai called suddenly.
"Mr. Chen, Jiang Zhiqiang is here again, this time with gifts, saying he wants to apologize." "Haha, is he desperate and trying all kinds of methods?" Chen Fei sneered and ordered directly: "Arrange security to send them out. From now on, anyone from Enlightenment Pictures is not allowed to step into the company."
The conflict between the two sides has already intensified, and Chen Fei doesn't need to give them face.
Not to mention Enlightenment Pictures, even Xiang's Zhongqixing was shut down by him, so what is a Jiang Zhiqiang?
"Okay, I'll arrange it now."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei turned off his phone and started today's filming.
Under the dim and charming lights of the bar, the scenes of the hero and heroine officially began.
The heroine played by Liu Yifei wore a tight black dress, with a firm and slightly provocative look in her eyes; she sat quietly at the bar, tapping the table with her fingers, as if waiting for something.
Behind the monitor, Chen Fei kept signaling the props to adjust the light.
After the lighting met his requirements, he stood up and came to Liu Yifei, whispering to her the key to the scene:
"Today's filming is one of the three key scenes where the male and female protagonists meet. In this scene, your role is active. Although you already have a boyfriend, you still can't help wanting to tease the innocent male protagonist..."
Liu Yifei listened and nodded slightly, with a glimmer of understanding in her eyes: "I understand that only when my role sends out enough signals will the male protagonist be interested in me."
Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction: "You understand correctly, that's it. Remember, every look and every movement of yours must be full of charm, so that I can't resist it."
"I understand this."
Liu Yifei smiled confidently. She knew how to make Chen Fei "interested" in herself.
Soon, the crew began to clear the scene, and the two returned to their own positions and began to brew the emotions that the characters in the play should have.
As the script supervisor finished the board in front of the camera, the shooting officially began.
In front of the camera, the interaction between the two gradually heated up.
In the corner of the bar, they began a tense and expectant conversation.
Liu Yifei's eyes were full of teasing and temptation, and Chen Fei was gradually attracted to her and couldn't extricate himself.
The conversation between the two was full of dramatic tension, and every confrontation seemed to allow each other to understand each other more deeply.
The heroine in the film is an actress, and because she is not a famous actress, and because she has been in the circle for a long time, she has naturally become a "veteran" level figure.
The term "old-timer" here is actually somewhat derogatory. After all, she is not a famous actress, and she is used to the filth of the entertainment industry and has long been accustomed to it.
The male protagonist played by Chen Fei is a down-and-out literary youth who dreams of saving the dying classical jazz.
Two souls who are both in a state of desolation will naturally collide with fierce sparks.
Just like what Chen Fei learned when he was hanging out in Hengdian when he just debuted, male and female extras who are also waiting for the opportunity to become famous will choose to "live together" temporarily once they fall in love.
This situation is still very common today, and even those famous actors will do this when they are filming in the crew.
~
The crew was shooting the bar scenes for the whole morning, which has achieved the effect of "striving for perfection".
At the same time, outside the Feiyue Film and Television Building, Jiang Zhiqi and others were "asked" to leave in disgrace.
With his head down, Jiang Zhiqi silently got into the car, and then he threw the valuable gift in his hand heavily at the back seat!
"This is too much! This is really too much!"
He thought that after such a long time, and because he came to ask for peace in a humble manner, Feiyue Film and Television should be able to make some concessions online because they are all in the same industry.
But he never expected that after entering the door, he could not even see the deputy general manager Su Guohai, and then he was "invited" out by the security guard.
This is not just a lack of face, it is a complete naked humiliation!
The assistant sitting in the front row asked with a stiff face: "Mr. Jiang, what should we do now? Go back to Hong Kong? Or..."
"Go to China Film!" Jiang Zhiqiang said viciously: "We stole the box office of "Monster Hunt", so he found an excuse to remove our movie, but what did "My Agent Grandpa" do wrong? Why doesn't Pan Asia Cinema Line let us enter the theater?
What else can this be but monopoly? He is actually practicing hegemony in China? Do you really think that Chen Fei is the boss? There are still people watching him!"
...
It was noon, and Chen Fei turned on his mobile phone during the lunch break.
However, what surprised him was that there was already a big quarrel on Weibo at this time!
Looking around, the news and some video clips about the "big brother" of Guangguang holding a wedding in Bali were everywhere on the Internet, triggering a lot of discussion and abuse.
And words such as "wedding pranks", "bullying" and "humiliation" were all over the topics, which attracted people's attention.
Chen Fei roughly looked through the relevant reports and videos, and immediately frowned.
The video clearly recorded the scene of Liu Yan being "bullied" by a group of groomsmen at the wedding. Several men dragged her and wanted to throw her into the water, which was really infuriating!
It can be clearly seen that when Liu Yan was surrounded by a group of groomsmen, her face was full of resistance and anger, and even a hint of fear was faintly visible!
But those groomsmen seemed to have lost their minds, with excited and lewd smiles on their faces. They had no intention of stopping, but became more reckless.
Du Haitao was holding her legs below, and two people were holding her arms above. Three or four big men worked together to hold down Liu Yan's struggling body, and some even took the opportunity to attack her chest...
These outrageous scenes made everyone who watched the video feel angry and heartbroken!
Even though Jia Ling chose to stand up and try to stop this atrocity, her efforts seemed so powerless.
Facing a large group of adult men who were already in a frenzy, her body seemed very strong, but in fact she looked very small and helpless. She was pushed to the ground several times and almost couldn't get up.
Although she successfully rescued Liu Yan in the end, it was obvious that she was also exhausted and couldn't recover for a long time.
And Liu Yan had already become a frightened rabbit, squatting on the ground to protect her chest, looking at the group of male groomsmen around her with a vigilant face, fearing that someone would rush over to assault her again.
With the exposure of the video, the Internet was full of curses!
"You are a bunch of hypocritical bastards. How dare you do such a thing to a woman?"
"Fuck! I am really impressed! Liu Yan was wearing a skirt that day, and there were cameras recording it. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
"Who came up with this idea? You are a bunch of beasts. You have embarrassed yourself at the wedding."
"If Jia Ling hadn't stopped her, I can't imagine how embarrassed Liu Yan would be?"
"Wouldn't the gauze skirt be completely transparent once it was soaked in water? If someone took a photo of it, it would have made the headlines directly."
"I really I didn't expect it! Han Geng was the one who touched my breasts. How greedy are you! How could you do such a thing in public? "
"So what's wrong with those men? After doing such a dirty thing, don't they dare to come forward to take responsibility? Don't they even want to apologize? Are they all dumb, right?"
"And hold a wedding ceremony again? I think they are providing a place for those groomsmen to play with the bridesmaids, right? Where is Guangguang Yige? Why don't you come out to say something? Are you dumb? Don't you dare to take responsibility for this?"
There were constant scoldings online, and Chen Fei was speechless.
What era is this? There are still such wedding pranks, and it happened in the entertainment industry... These people are like tumors in their heads!
At this time, Liu Yifei, who was eating next to him, also paid attention to the news online and frowned immediately.
"These groomsmen are so shameless! How could they do such a thing? Liu Yan is going to be a bridesmaid after all, this is too disrespectful, isn't it?"
Chen Fei sneered: "Hehe, don't worry, netizens will teach them a lesson."
