Chapter 913 Movie Version of "Honey Trap"? Want to Turn Black Into White?
After waking up, when Chen Fei opened his eyes again, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
"Good guy? Just slept for 6 hours?"
After stretching, he got out of bed and turned on his phone screen while walking out.
Two missed calls appeared on the homepage, as well as a WeChat message from Liu Yifei.
After replying a message to Miss Liu first and informing her of the landing time of his plane, Chen Fei slowly began to call back the two missed calls.
The first person to reply was Tong Gang's call.
After the call was connected, he first explained that he had just taken a nap, so he did not hear the incoming call reminder, and then asked what Tong Gang called him about just now.
"I have something to inform you. I hope you can prepare in advance so that you won't be in a hurry."
"Oh?" Chen Fei couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is the higher ups going to issue a new policy again?"
"Absolutely." Tong Gang organized his speech, and then said solemnly: "From now on, the bureau will issue notices to major state-owned enterprises and private film and television companies to suspend all cultural exchange activities with South Korea. ...Film, television, variety shows, management, etc., all need to be divided.”
Good guy!
It’s finally here!
Chen Fei's heart moved, and he suddenly recalled the time in his memory when there were no South Korean artists in the domestic entertainment industry.
It was also from that time that all major domestic talent show and variety shows began to flourish, so much so that all kinds of monsters and monsters could come out to participate in the talent show, which was simply "eye-opening"!
At that time, he was just a common man, and he had no idea why all the South Korean girl groups left the mainland overnight, abandoning such a huge market for making money.
But now, he had some vague guesses.
"Is it because of the problems with the Philippines and the sea?"
"That's right." Tong Gang didn't mean to hide it: "We can't guarantee whether it will develop to the point where we can't see it, but in order to nip it in the bud, we must make preparations in advance and complete the cutting. To prevent subsequent adverse effects.”
"Okay, I understand, I will contact the company."
In fact, Chen Fei had been making preparations a long time ago.
This can be seen from the fact that other film and television entertainment companies are deeply involved in the South Korean entertainment industry, but Feiyue Film and Television has never had much business dealings with that country.
Other companies, such as Huayi and Mango, are eager to bring all the male and female groups in South Korea under their control and provide them with performance channels to earn huge profits.
However, except for Feiyue Film and Television, which holds annual meetings at the end of the year, or invites members of girl groups to dance or perform at large-scale events, the two parties do not have too many ties.
Even including the two popular variety shows in collaboration with Youku and Guangguang, he has been trying to avoid the participation of South Korean artists as much as possible.
But now, the benefits are reflected.
Once the "Korean Restriction Order" is issued, Feiyue Film and Television will have the least impact, because Feiyue Film and Television does not have much business dealings with the South Korean entertainment industry. At most, it will not be able to find girl group members to come and dance at the end of the year.
As for other film and television entertainment companies, I'm afraid they are going to suffer a lot of bleeding!
After ending the call with Tong Gang, Chen Fei immediately called Su Guohai and informed him of the news.
"Restriction order to Korea?"
Hearing this word, Su Guohai was slightly startled, really surprised.
"So what the above means is that we want to completely cut off from the South Korean entertainment industry? Cut off all business contacts? Do not allow any South Korean artist to come to the country to develop?"
"Yes, that's it." Chen Fei gave a very positive answer.
"Okay, I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
Su Guohai was only slightly surprised, without much emotion.
After all, Feiyue Film and Television has almost no business dealings with the South Korean entertainment industry, and the cooperation between the two parties is limited to the purchase and sale of film copyrights.
On the other hand, Feiyinghuang's agency has a lot of business dealings with South Korea, but he doesn't need to manage the agency, so he only needs to deal with his duties.
At the same time, after ending the call with Su Guohai, Chen Fei called Ning Hao again.
One of the two missed calls just now was from him.
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Fei could vaguely hear Ning Hao on the opposite side, who seemed to be attending a banquet, and the sound of changing cups and cups kept coming.
"Huh? Director Ning is so happy? Is he already drunk?"
Ning Hao laughed, and replied in a tone that was pretending to be humble but actually proud: "Just a small drink, just a small drink."
Chen Fei didn't ask what dinner he was attending, but asked why he called in the afternoon.
"It's not a big deal. I just called to inform you that the two projects initially identified in our commercial film support plan have been negotiated."
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Fei asked: "That youth-themed movie about a Chinese musical instrument troupe versus a Western band? And a documentary film about the story of comfort women?"
"Yes, yes, those two!"
Chen Fei is not particularly interested in these two movies, after all, the investment is too small.
After casually responding, he asked about the script of "囧 in Hong Kong" written by Wang Baoqiang.
"It's coming, it's coming." Ning Hao drank so loudly that he said, "At the latest in mid-July, I will be able to assist Baoqiang in writing the script. This guy is very talented, maybe he can really succeed..."
"Okay, you drink, I won't disturb you anymore, but I advise you to control yourself, and don't let anything like the Royal Press happen. When the time comes, you get jumped by someone, and I can't save you. "
After the words fell, Chen Fei hung up the phone directly.
But at this time, Ning Hao, who was drinking in a daze at the wine table, felt his heart tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
He suddenly realized that something was not right about tonight's drinking party. Ning Ying's group of people seemed to have been pliing him with wine, and they were also praising him in various ways, as if they were about to praise him to the sky.
"Something's wrong! Twelve out of ten things are wrong!"
The moment he regained consciousness, he calmly sent a text message, then put his phone upside down on the table, pretending to be nonchalant and talking to Yang Hongtao, the producer of "Asura" and chairman of Ningying Film Group, who was sitting across from him. Continue chatting.
At this time, Yang Hongtao was bragging about the big-budget fantasy film he had invested in.
"In terms of casting for "Asura," we plan to use big names from Hong Kong to partner with our new mainland actors, and let them also carry the sedan chair for us.
We are also preparing to make a trilogy for this series, just like the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series previously directed by Director Ning, and the investment in each film will not be less than 700 million yuan, making it a truly big-budget movie. The box office is not expected to be less than 2.5 billion..."
Yang Hongtao, who was sitting opposite, kept boasting about the overall framework and background of "Asura". Words such as "six paths of reincarnation" and "mythological system" kept popping up.
At the same time, other people at the wine table were also helping to talk, specifically telling Ning Hao how awesome this "Asura" was.
However, what they didn't notice at this time was that Director Ning was already a little restless.
He didn't know why, but he always had a very bad feeling in his heart.
More than ten minutes flew by.
After another round of drinking, Yang Hongtao saw that Ning Hao was already swaying, and then he revealed the purpose of inviting him here today.
"Director Ning, our "Asura" project is currently the most awesome and top-notch in the country, there is no doubt about this!
But the only flaw now is that we can't find a suitable, professional producer to control the direction of this film.
It just so happens that you just completed the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" trilogy, didn't you? You must have unique insights into fantasy movies. How about joining this project and let's have a go?
I can make the decision and directly give you 10% of the investment share in "Asura", which is a contract worth 60 million yuan. And this is only the first part. If the box office is successful, we can increase the price of the second part, even if it is One hundred million is not a problem..."
The generous conditions were suddenly thrown out, which made Ning Hao's head confused.
Just for doing supervisory work and controlling the filming of the movie, you can get an investment share of 60 million, which is not an ordinary salary.
If it hadn't been for Chen Fei's warning just now, he might not have agreed on the spot in a fit of enthusiasm.
Because no matter which angle you look at it, "Asura" is a large-scale production project with extremely high potential.
But now, Ning Hao, who deliberately pretended to be drunk but was actually much sober, could only hear alarm bells ringing in his heart!
Is there any free lunch in the world?
How can an investment share of 60 million be so easy to get?
In a film crew, although the producer does not have as much power as the producer, he is responsible for the quality of the film.
For example, in the "Commercial Film Director Training Program" that he and Chen Fei jointly conducted, he was responsible for the "supervision" job.
It is precisely because of this that he was very concerned about the script of "囧 in Hong Kong" written by Wang Baoqiang, because he was worried that the movie would fail at the box office, which would affect him.
But now, Ning Ying has used the name of "Asura" to invite him to serve as a "supervisor". Doesn't this mean he is asking him to guarantee the quality of the film?
It would be okay if it sells well at the box office.
But if it fails and all the huge investment of more than 700 million is lost, he, the producer, will definitely be held responsible!
When he thought of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Ning Hao's forehead, and his back was instantly soaked.
"What kind of reminiscing about the old game is this horse-riding game? It's obviously the Shura game! It's still a 'movie fairy dance'!"
The thoughts in my mind were racing, and countless thoughts came to my mind.
Ning Hao had already guessed why Yang Hongtao asked him to be the producer. The reason was actually that he wanted to ride on the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
If nothing else goes wrong, the moment he agrees to become the producer, "Asura" will inevitably become a replica of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in the eyes of many netizens.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!
Once the movie fails, Ning Ying will lose money, and Director Ning will lose the reputation he has accumulated over the years!
"You want to buy my fame for 60 million? What kind of dream do you have about riding a horse? And "Asura"? Even "Ghost Asura" comes!"
He had heard Chen Fei mutter before that Ning Ying's desperate move would definitely cause big problems.
Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, but preferring to go to the tiger mountains, isn't this a bad move?
When he thought of this, Ning Hao suddenly became vigilant.
Just at this moment, the phone rang suddenly!
The box suddenly fell into silence. Yang Hongtao, who had been talking nonstop, frowned slightly, stared at Ning Hao's phone, and cursed in his heart, "You ruined my good thing."
In the next second, Ning Hao stood up suddenly!
The chair behind him fell to the ground with a "bang". Director Ning suddenly had a big acting explosion at this moment!
"What? You caught a cold and have a fever? Dabao is crying... Ouch, why are you so careless! Wait for me, I'll go back right away and call 120 first! Go to the hospital quickly! Don't let your head get confused by the fever!"
Before the group of people in the box could react, Ning Hao had already found an excuse to leave.
Seeing him rushing out of the door, Yang Hongtao hurriedly shouted: "Director Ning, you can't drive after drinking. I'll arrange someone to take you home!"
"No need!" Ning Hao's voice came from afar: "I can just take a taxi. Director Yang is really sorry. I'll treat you next time..."
Before the last word "sin" was uttered, the man had disappeared at the stairs.
For a moment, Ning Ying's group of people in the box looked at each other.
Zhang Peng, the director who will be responsible for directing the movie "Asura", looked at Yang Hongtao and frowned and asked: "Director Yang, what should we do now?"
Yang Hongtao was silent for a moment, and he couldn't think of any good solution.
In the end, he could only sigh: "Who would have thought that there would be such an emergency? Alas, I'll go to Director Ning's house tomorrow and must win him over."
Everyone looked at each other and was speechless.
...
On the other side, Ning Hao, who had already got on the taxi, saw that Ning Ying's group of people didn't chase him out, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out his cell phone and called Chen Fei back.
As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't help but start complaining: "Fuck! If you hadn't reminded me just now, I might have really been fooled by them!"
After listening to Ning Hao's narration of the whole story, Chen Fei was immediately amused: "Hey? Movie version of honey trap, this is really rare!"
"Don't mention it, if I hadn't slipped away quickly and they had given me some wine, I might have agreed to it. After all, it's a 60 million investment share!"
"60 million?" Chen Fei sneered: "You also said that it's just an investment share, not 60 million in cash.
If the box office makes money, it's fine, but if it loses money, wouldn't you have worked for them in vain?"
Ning Hao was slightly startled, with a strong curiosity, He asked back: "I heard you say before that this project has a high probability of failure. Is it true?"
"Think about it yourself. An investment of 700 million yuan, an oriental magic special effects masterpiece, the director Zhang Peng is unknown and has no experience in large-scale production. Even the screenwriter is just a name without any actual results. Is the success probability of such a project high?"
Ning Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was very grateful: "Fuck! Fortunately, I ran fast! Almost, just almost!"
"Haha, drink less next time, don't be set up by others without knowing it."
"Indeed, I bought a lesson today..."
"Okay, that's it, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going to eat some melon first." Chen Fei said and was about to hang up the phone.
Ning Hao hurriedly asked: "What melon?"
"Zhao Yanzi's one, one night later, it seems that there is new movement."
"Oh, that one! Okay! Hang up first, I'll go take a look too."
After cutting off the call with Ning Hao, Chen Fei logged into Weibo as soon as possible.
As several hours passed, it was obvious that there was a new situation on Weibo.
The most intuitive point is that the posts that many netizens posted yesterday that exposed Zhao Yanzi, Dai Liren and the Japanese actress's black material have almost disappeared.
At the same time, there were also voices of support and support from the "No Other Love" crew, Zhao Yanzi, Dai Liren, the Japanese actress herself, and many people in the circle.
"In response to the many public opinion attacks and unfounded revelations on the Internet, the film "No Other Love" crew issued an official statement:
The crew can vouch for Mr. Dai Liren. He is actually a talented and extremely focused actor. We have experienced this deeply in the previous filming process.
In response to the recent false rumors about Mr. Dai on the Internet, we hope that relevant personnel and media can clarify the facts and do not break the law knowingly!
At the same time, for individuals or media who make groundless accusations, insults, and slander against director Zhao Yanzi on the Internet, we will take legal measures and transfer them to the court for handling!"
"Actor Dai Liren posted a Weibo, sternly warning netizens that I will never tolerate any unfounded accusations against me, and I will Resolutely safeguard your legal rights through legal channels!"
"The Japanese actress explained through social media that it was all a misunderstanding. She was completely unaware of her previous likes and it was completely unintentional. As for visiting the shrine, it was just a requirement of the variety show, not her own wish..."
"Wu Yu, Guan Hu, Yang Ziqiong, Guo Caijie, Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun and many other filmmakers and directors in the industry jointly issued a statement, saying that they will fully support the smooth release of the movie "No Other Love". They hope that netizens and the media will remain calm and not guide public opinion. They should look at the problem with an objective attitude and seek the truth..."
Weibo deleted posts, the water army began to clean up, many well-known directors and actors in the circle stood up to support, and some media turned against them...
With the appearance of one press release after another, coupled with the intervention of capital, the incident began to move in another direction in a very short time.
If it continues at this pace, Zhao Yanzi and Dai Liren may really be able to whitewash it.
"Tsk tsk, interesting, really interesting, it's okay to not correct the mistakes, but you want to whitewash the black? If you really succeed, the mainland film and television industry will be completely messed up?"
Fade Chen sneered and immediately prepared to use his own account to speak out and "show his sword"!
But on second thought, he felt that this seemed not enough.
"Why not wait until we return to China... Speaking out in public should be much more effective than posting on Weibo?"
