Chapter 895 A Good Wife? Go to the Crew and Get a High Salary to Take Care of the Baby?

The excitement about the fixed-angle results of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is still fermenting and has not gradually dissipated with the passage of time.

Affected by the Taiwanese media's "pull and dislike", online controversy is extremely high, and a large number of fans are constantly attacking Chen Kaige's Weibo.

As for the questions and accusations from these "lower people", the poet Chen Da, who calls himself a "higher person", will naturally not pay much attention to them.

No one can question his casting!

However, Chen Hong saw that the public opinion on the Internet seemed to be developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the movie, so he quickly came out to explain:

"The casting process of "Legend of the Demon Cat" did not involve any shady secrets, and the reason why director Chen Kaige chose Zhang Rongrong to play the role of "Yang Guifei" was because of her excellent acting skills, image, temperament and other hard conditions.

Maybe you can wait and see, there will definitely be surprises when the movie is released!

In addition, the movie is expected to start shooting in August. Director Chen Kaige has already led a team to the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang. Everyone is welcome to visit and explore the studio.

Finally, thank you very much for your attention and support for "The Legend of the Demon Cat". We will definitely work hard to present better movie quality to repay all fans for their support..."

As soon as Chen Hong's remarks came out, the public opinion controversy on the Internet became much smaller.

Under the guidance of relevant marketing accounts, many netizens immediately focused on the movie itself and began to look forward to the completion of "Legend of the Demon Cat".

"When this movie is released, I have to watch it. I don't believe that this woman can play the role of Concubine Yang!"

"I heard that the story of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is quite good. Isn't the original work well written?"

"Oh, I just hope Brother Chen Kai can use some snacks and not make another big bad movie like "The Promise"!"

The trend on the Internet changed very quickly. In just one morning, the angry netizens and fans calmed down their restless mood, which was a big surprise.

During lunch, while chewing rice, Zhu Yawen praised: "This is a real good wife! Director Chen Kaige is really lucky to have a wife like Chen Hong."

"What you said makes sense."

Chen Fei echoed with great approval, but his eyes fell on another piece of entertainment news.

"Produced by Huace Pictures, the large-scale TV series with themes of ancient costumes, palaces, and power politics, "The Lonely Lovers Don't Admire Yourself," officially announced the cast list today:

Hong Kong's popular first-line actor Zhong Hanliang will partner with the number one female Yang Ying, as well as Gan Tingting, Sun Yizhou, Yu Bo, Madina, Qi Hang, Deng Sha, Cheng Haofeng, Liu Mengmeng, Wei Binghua and others to jointly interpret a costume love story..."

If it were just a casting notice, it would naturally not attract Chen Fei's attention.

But the key point is that along with this casting notice, there are also many gossips from "paparazzi" and "entertainment reporters".

"It is reported that Yang Ying is currently pregnant, and joining the filming is actually to support the pregnancy with a high salary."

"We have successfully photographed the medical team that accompanied Yang Ying. During the filming, the medical staff will take care of Yang Ying's physical condition throughout the filming."

"According to an insider from the crew, during the filming of the TV series, some difficult scenes will be performed by stand-ins. Currently, Huace has begun to search for extras in the circle who have a similar body shape to Yang Ying."

Looking at these gossips and exclusive revelations, Chen Fei didn't know how to evaluate Huang Xiaoming.

It's okay for my wife to be pregnant and raise the baby at home, but she even sent someone to the set to raise the baby inside.

That was the filming location of the crew! Is it a place to raise babies?

You don’t need to guess to know that this must be Yang Ying’s request, and Huang Xiaoming, the love brain, will naturally spare no effort to fully support it.

As for Huace, in order to sell the face of the leader, they will naturally not refuse.

Then the three parties hit it off and it directly evolved into the production team raising a baby!

But that is a costume drama. Horse riding, fighting, even beheading and imprisonment are all common occurrences. Isn't it a joke to let a pregnant woman act in it?

Although the stand-in can be used in some key scenes, the stand-in can't be used in the scenes where the face is shown, right?

However, when he thought of this, Chen Fei's expression suddenly condensed!

"What the hell? Who said you can't let a stand-in show your face for the scene? Now that technology is so advanced, don't you just have to change your face later?"

When he thought of this, Chen Fei's mouth suddenly twitched.

Other actresses may not do this in order to maintain their "dedicated" persona, but Yang Ying can't say for sure!

…

Time soon came to the afternoon, and the filming of "La La Land" began to speed up.

The 25th will be in two days, and Chen Fei has to rush back to the capital to attend the movie premiere. In order not to delay the filming progress, he must race against time.

The 5.1 schedule is getting closer and closer. In order to attract attention, several upcoming movies are sparing no effort in promoting them.

On the morning of the 23rd, "Dream Partner" starring Yao Chen, Tang Yan, Hao Lei, Aaron Kwok and others took the lead in holding a movie premiere ceremony.

However, just as the popularity of "Dream Partner" was soaring, the Russo brothers, the directors of "Captain America: Civil War", suddenly spoke out on Weibo.

They said that on the 26th of this month, they will bring the bright stars of the "American Team", including the brave and fearless "Captain America" ​​Chris Evans, the cold and mysterious "Winter Soldier" Sebastian Stan, and the agile and sharp "Falcon" Anthony Mackie, to the capital to promote this highly anticipated work and hold a screening event.

For a time, all the heat on the Internet was attracted by this news.

The cheers of Marvel fans are all over Weibo!

You know, this movie has already had its premiere in North America.

According to reports from Hollywood media, this movie is much better than the previous DC "Superman vs. Batman"!

On the Rotten Tomatoes movie review website, professional film reviews have emerged like a tide, and each one is full of praise and admiration for "Captain America 3".

The score on Metacritic is as high as 84 points, and the two foreign media have given full marks without hesitation, which is undoubtedly the highest affirmation of the quality of the film.

What's more interesting is that this movie tells the story of the leaders of the two superhero camps, Captain America and Iron Man, who are caught in a fierce confrontation because of their different ideas.

This is undoubtedly in sharp contrast to the previous "Superman vs. Batman", which has also triggered a confrontation between many Marvel and DC fans at home and abroad.

However, unlike the fans' focus, the domestic film industry is already wailing at the moment.

You know, this Marvel blockbuster is scheduled for May 6th. Although it gives domestic films a few days to breathe and also staggers the three-day holiday of May Day, it will definitely be on time in the end.

Well, facing Marvel's sci-fi blockbuster, and the powerful combination of Captain America + Iron Man, who has the confidence to suppress it?

Except for a few big directors in China, no one has the confidence to suppress Hollywood imported blockbusters.

Anyway, "Dream Partners" is completely silent now, because no matter how hard they try, they can't successfully emerge under the rampage of Marvel's blockbusters.

Instead of wasting publicity resources, it is better to keep a low profile for a few days and work hard to promote the movie before it is officially released.

…

At this time, China Film.

Looking at the heated discussions about "Captain America 3: Civil War" on the Internet, La Peikang was full of envy, almost overflowing with words.

He is now very eager to wait until "The Great Wall" is officially released, and it can also have such high popularity.

However, "bad news" always comes with full expectations.

"Mr. La!" The assistant suddenly pushed the door and walked in, reporting: "Universal Pictures sent a message and gave the North American release schedule of "The Great Wall."

"Oh?" La Peikang raised his head with expectation: "Is it the December 16th we recommended?"

"No, the final North American release date confirmed by them is February 17th next year."

Instantly, the smile on La Peikang's face solidified.

In his expectation, "The Great Wall" would be released globally at the same time, so that the publicity effect can be maximized.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes after all. Universal Pictures' rejection really caught him off guard!

"Why? Why can't it be released globally?"

"The explanation from Universal Pictures is that there are too many Hollywood blockbusters at the end of the year. After all, "The Great Wall" is just a Sino-foreign co-production. Facing blockbusters such as "Doctor Strange", "Trolls", and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", it has no advantage at all.

In addition, the end of the year is the time when various film companies are rushing to the Oscars. Many Hollywood movies will be released in groups. "The Great Wall" may be completely torn apart by those movies..."

This is the truth. After all, it is extremely difficult for a Mandarin movie to get a high box office in North America!

Even if there is an international superstar like Matt Damon in this movie, his box office appeal is not enough to detonate the box office of a Mandarin movie!

Thinking of this, although La Peikang was unwilling, he could only choose to accept it silently. After three minutes of silence and adjusting his mood, he spoke again: "If that's the case, let's decide. The domestic version will be released first during the Lunar New Year holiday, and the overseas version will be released after the Lunar New Year.

You go and notify LeTV and Zhang Yimou, and ask the publicity and distribution department to formulate relevant publicity strategies, and make sure everything is foolproof..."

"Okay, Mr. La."

The assistant responded, turned around and left the office.

La Peikang's eyes turned to the screen of his mobile phone. He saw Feng Xiaogang posted a Weibo, saying that the release date of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" was set on November 18th in order to "heat up" an unpopular schedule.

Looking at this Weibo, he couldn't help but draw a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

If you are a coward, you are a coward. What's there to be embarrassed about? And what about heating up an unpopular schedule? It's ridiculous.

Anyway, he is very confident now.

The more he looks at the project of "The Great Wall", the more satisfied he feels. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office champion of this Lunar New Year holiday has been locked in advance by "The Great Wall"!

"The Lunar New Year's film "The Great Wall" and the Spring Festival film "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back", the achievements of these two films should be enough for me to continue to hold my head high in front of the General Administration this year, right?"

Just then, the secretary suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Boss La, this is the investment contract for Sky Hunter. I brought it back from the General Administration for you."

"Okay."

La Peikang responded, glanced through it briefly, and signed his name at the end.

"Thank you for taking another trip to deliver this document to the Air Force."

"Okay." The secretary nodded slightly, picked up the document and was about to go out, but suddenly thought of another thing.

"Boss La, I saw someone from Xiying at the General Administration today."

"Xiying???"

La Peikang raised his head with some curiosity: "What did the people from Xiying go to the General Administration for?"

"I don't know much either. I heard from a friend at the General Administration that they seemed to be asking for money..."

"Haha, Xiying has been silent for a long time in recent years. It seems that they are so poor that they can't even make ends meet." La Peikang joked happily, and waved his hand to signal the secretary to get down to business first.

He didn't think much about it at all. After all, Xiying had already gone down a few years ago.

At present, China Film Group is the real No.1 among state-owned film and television companies!

Although Shanghai Film Group is chasing closely, Ren Zhonglun is in Shanghai, so he naturally does not have the advantage of being close to China Film Group.

For example, in the movie "Sky Hunter", China Film Group is the only state-owned film and television unit that "stands against the tripod".

Shanghai Film Group has no chance to get involved at all, because when Ren Zhonglun received the news, the contract here has been negotiated.

And this is the benefit and advantage of "close ministers"!

…

The time came to the 24th.

Early in the morning, when the eyes of the mainland film and television circle were still on "Captain America 3: Civil War", a film project announcement from multiple units caught up and quickly surpassed the popularity of Hollywood imported blockbusters.

"The main theme movie "Sky Hunter" about the air force, which is controlled by the Air Force Political Department and jointly produced by 16 units and film and television companies including China Film, Chunqiu Times, Luming Films, China Television Media, Huaying, CCTV, Aviation World Technology, etc., has been officially approved."

"Sky Hunter" tells the heroic story of ace pilot Wu Di and others who were ordered to rescue hostages abroad and finally returned successfully after experiencing a life-and-death duel with foreign terrorist forces."

"Mainland first-line actor Li Chen will serve as the director and starring actor of the film, and the casting plan for other roles will be officially launched from now on."

"The filming of "Sky Hunter" has received strong support from the Air Force. In order to strictly control the professional quality of the film, the Air Force will arrange a military advisory group composed of 12 experts to discuss the rationality of equipment, combat, training and diplomacy, and provide corresponding technical support..."

For a whole day, the names of "Sky Hunter" and "Li Chen" were high on the Weibo hot search list, and they remained high!

Many investors in the mainland noticed "Li Chen" for the first time. Everyone was really surprised that he could get such a "top" project!

"Wow, no wonder this Li Chen can date Fan Bingbing. His connections can even get him in touch with the Air Force?!"

In the crew, Zhu Yawen's exclamation attracted many people's attention.

It's break time now, and Chen Fei is naturally checking the news.

However, unlike other people who were surprised or surprised, his heart was already filled with strong sarcasm.

I don't know when it started, but acting well and directing seems to have become a major rule followed by the film and television industry, so that many people who were originally actors are developing towards directing.

Although many people have indeed succeeded, the fact is that there are countless people who failed!

If you start with youth films and low-cost art films, you may find an opportunity to rise and succeed in one fell swoop!

But this kind of operation of starting with a main theme blockbuster, it seems that there is really no one at present. This Li Chen is completely unique.

If it succeeds, it's fine, but if he, a novice, messes it up, it will be fun to watch!

"The Founding of an Army will be officially shut down tomorrow. I plan to attend the premiere of Xuanzang the day after tomorrow. Are you going?"

"Yes, I'll take the flight back to the capital tonight. Tomorrow morning, Chasing the Dragon will also have its premiere..."

After chatting with Han Sanping on the phone, Chen Fei casually asked about the topic of Sky Hunter.

The Third Master sneered and said bluntly: "The Air Force Political Department really has a lot of money to burn. They actually found such a thing to shoot a mainstream theme movie? You wait and see. It would be a miracle if this movie can sell well at the box office!"

"Haha, you are so poisonous!"

"I am being realistic. That is a mainstream theme. How high-end? They actually got a backstabbing person to shoot it. Their brains are really confused..."

The two were chatting here, while on the other side, Zhang Ziyi was calling the crew of "Sky Hunter" with great expectations.

The phone soon reached Li Chen's hands.

However, just when Zhang Ziyi asked if there was a role suitable for her and when the audition would start, the male voice on the phone suddenly turned into a female voice.

"Hey? Sister Ziyi actually likes a domestic movie like "Sky Hunter"? Aren't you in Hollywood?"

Listening to the familiar bitch voice, Zhang Ziyi's expression suddenly froze.

"Fan Bingbing? Haha, you're really quick!"

"Hey, what does Sister Ziyi mean by that? How can you call this a quick move? Li Chen is my boyfriend, and as his girlfriend, it shouldn't be too much for me to play the leading female role, right?"

"Heh." Zhang Ziyi sneered and was about to hang up the phone.

But at this moment, Fan Bingbing's voice came again: "If Sister Ziyi doesn't mind, there is another supporting actress who is quite suitable for you. Do you want to come and try it?"

"Pah!"

Zhang Ziyi hung up the phone directly, and her chest began to hurt with anger.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that since she abandoned Sa Beining and chose Wang Feng, her luck seemed to be getting worse and worse.

For example, now, the road to comeback after giving birth to Wang Feng is simply not easy to walk!
