Chapter 953: "In the Name of People" Was Warned?

When we landed in the capital, it was already the morning of the 24th.

In order to prevent being surrounded by paparazzi, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei contacted the airport and took a very low-key VIP passage directly to the parking lot.

After all, the two of them are not traffic stars, so they don't need to go out of their way to gain popularity. They can naturally keep a low profile.

On the way home, Chen Fei was bored and picked up his mobile phone to browse the news.

However, it was better not to brush it. After brushing it, he suddenly discovered that Jiang Wen's "The Evil Is Not Suppressing the Righteous" actually announced the name of the protagonist early in the morning!

Looking at the three characters "Peng Yuyan", Chen Fei was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this actor. The key problem is that this actor really doesn't match the style of the movies Jiang Wen previously directed.

In "Let the Bullets Fly", the first of the "Beiyang Trilogy", Jiang Wen partnered with Ge You and Chow Yun-fat.

In the second film "One Step Away", he also partnered with Ge You, Zhou Yun, Shu Qi, Wang Zhiwen and other "acting stars".

But in the third film "The Righteous One", he actually chose "Peng Yuyan" to be the leading actor instead of having him play the role himself.

This is so different from his previous film style!

"What's going on? Jiang Wen has woken up? Is he going to start embracing the market? Is he embracing traffic?"

Chen Fei murmured, his heart full of doubts and surprise.

It is precisely because he knows Jiang Wen that he has this doubt. After all, Peng Yuyan, who is currently marketing positive images such as "fitness", "certification", and "positive image", is also one of the synonyms of "traffic" in the circle. .

Any movie starring him has a lot of fans due to his good looks.

At least his acting skills can only be said to be in the eye of the beholder.

Anyway, in Chen Fei's view, this person's vocal appearance is not up to par, and is even worse than those actors who have a professional background but are unknown and tepid.

If it weren't for strong marketing, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach his current heights.

And this time joining "The Evil One" and successfully serving as the male lead is undoubtedly a huge success for its marketing!

"Dingle bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.

After glancing at the caller ID, he pressed the connect button: "Hello? Director Kang?"

On the other end of the phone, Kang Honglei asked a little impatiently: "Director Chen, when will you return to China? There are some problems with "In the Name of the People"."

"I'm already in China, what's the problem?"

Chen Fei knew a long time ago that there would definitely be problems with this drama in the later review stage, so he was not too impatient, but calmly asked about the specific situation.

"Alas!" Kang Honglei sighed helplessly: "Some people are very dissatisfied with the scale of this drama and asked for major rectification in the later editing, but they did not say how to change it specifically."

Hearing this, Chen Fei probably understood what was going on.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry. I'll ask what's going on."

After hanging up the phone and thinking for a while, he found the phone number of Zhang Hong, who was in charge of film and television drama review, and called directly.

After a while, the call was answered.

When he heard Chen Fei's intention, Zhang Hong immediately smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry about the review, I will keep an eye on it. The main reason is that some plots and lines in the finished film are too explicit, so it must be done." Just modify it.

As for the specific modification opinions, a formal document will be issued in a few days. At that time, you can just follow the document and adjust the not so good shots.

To tell you the truth, during the review, people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate also came, and Tong Ju and I had already watched the show in person. The filming was very good and very shocking. It can be called It is a masterpiece on the anti-corruption theme..."

Afterwards, the two chatted for half an hour about the anti-corruption drama.

Chen Fei can clearly tell that the General Administration and the Supreme People's Procuratorate are actually very satisfied with this drama, but some people are afraid that it will have a bad impact.

Once the TV series is successfully released, some people will definitely be restless.

But isn’t this exactly what the Supreme People’s Procuratorate wants?

Isn’t the purpose of going through all the trouble and effort to film anti-corruption themes to play an anti-corruption and deterrent role? Otherwise, why take pictures of it?

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Supreme People's Procuratorate will definitely contribute to the later review.

However, when he was about to hang up the phone at the end, Chen Fei still reminded him specifically: "Director Zhang, you must keep the source of the film well and don't let it be leaked by some people with ulterior motives."

"Don't worry about this!" Zhang Hong assured with eloquent words: "I know how important this drama is. I personally followed up the review and used people I trust. I will definitely We will ensure that the source of the film will not be leaked."

"That's good, it's really troublesome for Zhang Jue..."

Chen Fei still remembers very clearly that in the original time and space, "In the Name of the People" had just played the tenth episode, when all the film sources suddenly appeared on the Internet, and there was also a watermark on it indicating that the samples were submitted for review.

When he first watched this show, he saw the leaked film source.

Because of this, he specifically asked about the "film source security".

You know, at that time, because the source of the film was leaked, the popularity of this drama was greatly affected. There is no guarantee that it was not a slutty operation by someone with ulterior motives.

After hanging up the phone and relaying the results to Kang Honglei, Chen Fei temporarily put the matter behind him.

With Zhang Hong's guarantee and the help of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, it should not be a problem for "In the Name of People" to pass the review and be broadcast on satellite TV.

What he needs to face now is the difficulty of "Dying to Survive".

September is about to end. If this project is not started quickly, next year's "Avengers 3" may also be affected.

…

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Fei appeared downstairs of the company.

As expected, when he got out of the car and walked into the company, he was immediately photographed by the paparazzi squatting outside the door.

In less than half an hour, the hot searches on Weibo and major portals were refreshed.

"On the 15th day after the Venice International Film Festival, Director Chen Fei showed up at the company in a low profile, with hurried steps, and it seems that there is an important matter that needs to be dealt with urgently."

"After the proposal was successful, Director Chen Fei and Liu Yifei finally returned to China! The two did not appear together in public."

"It seems that good things are coming soon. There is a faint trace of a wedding ring on the ring finger of Director Chen Fei's left hand..."

"According to insiders, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei are currently secretly married abroad!"

"Liu Yifei has not been found yet. It seems that she is pregnant and is taking care of the fetus abroad."

It has to be said that these paparazzi and the media can really associate. They only need a photo or even a back view to easily make a 300-episode bloody drama series!

As for these news, Chen Fei will naturally not pay attention, because Weibo will help him deal with it as soon as possible.

Entering the office, he began to deal with some documents that have accumulated during this period.

While reviewing the financial documents, the secretary was reporting the current cinema market situation: "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three and Love in Heaven, which were released on the 14th, have both fallen below 5 million in daily new box office revenue.

As for the Hollywood imported blockbuster Star Trek 3, it was taken off the screen yesterday, with a total box office of only 440 million, which is not very high.

At present, the cinema market has focused on the National Day holiday, and the premiere of Ace of Kings has been held on the 22nd.

The premiere of Jue Ji will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be our company's Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace, and the day after tomorrow will be Guangguang's Passing By Your World. The invitation to the premiere has been delivered to the company..."

Looking around, the most popular ones are undoubtedly Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace and Jue Ji.

The two movies have already fallen into the stage of "competing for traffic".

As the sequel of a popular film, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace" has its own traffic characteristics and has received a lot of attention.

And "Lord of the Rings" is also not weak!

Some time ago, because the director Guo Jingming's name was not on the movie poster, it caused quite a stir in the circle.

And now, after Guo Jingming's "rights protection" was successful, LeTV Pictures brought out a group of "high-traffic actors" such as Fan Bingbing, Wu Yifan, Chen Weiting, Wang Yuan, and Yang Mi, and borrowed their fame to start the last round of publicity sprint!

With the support of these "high-traffic actors" fans, this film, which brings together CG fantasy, action, adventure, lMAX-3D and other layers of exquisite outerwear, has undoubtedly ushered in huge attention and traffic.

LeTV Pictures even shouted a very arrogant slogan:

"Once "Lord of the Rings" is released, it will be invincible during the National Day!"

Looking at this slogan that was on the top of the hot search list, Chen Fei just wanted to laugh.

The movie hasn't even been released yet, but the slogan of winning the No. 1 spot on the National Day box office chart has already been announced. Isn't this equivalent to opening champagne at halftime?

You know, this kind of behavior is taboo in any industry!

If it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, it will be fun to watch.

"You go and inform Ning Hao to continue to increase public relations efforts. Since "Jade Dynasty" wants to compete so much, then we will play with them."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will contact Director Ning right away."

The secretary responded and left the office quickly.

Chen Fei didn't even raise his head and continued to be busy with the work at hand.

...

In the capital, in the newly established Century Changshengtian Film and Television Company in Wuershan.

"Haha, this guy is finally back, but I've been waiting for so long!"

Looking at Song Ge, who was smiling brightly across from him, Wu Ershan couldn't help but frown slightly: "Mr. Song, will your method work? Will Feiyue Film and Television accept the investment share that Bona doesn't want?"

The 3 billion investment in the "Fengshen" trilogy actually scared Wu Ershan himself.

After all, according to the budget he made, it would only cost about 1.5 billion to shoot the three parts. After all, most of the plots can actually be shot in batches, which can save a lot of money.

However, Song Ge, chairman of Jingxi Pictures, the main controller, strongly demanded that the production cost be increased to 3 billion!

To be honest, this number was not actually within Wu Ershan's expectations, after all, he didn't have so much dirty money to launder.

But as a vested interest, he couldn't refuse Song Ge's offer, so he could only choose to default.

Song Ge was very confident at this moment, and he promised solemnly: "I bet he will accept it. Is there anyone who would dislike too much money?"

"But I heard that Feiyue Films and Bona Films and Anle Films have long ceased to have any dealings with each other. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to win over Chen Fei!"

"Don't worry, there are no eternal enemies in the world. Some are just unequal distribution of interests. As long as we can offer sufficiently favorable conditions, I don't believe he will not be tempted.

If we can successfully mediate the conflicts between the three companies, with the fame of Chen Fei and Feiyue Films, the popularity of "Legend of the Gods" will definitely reach a higher level!"

This is of course beyond doubt. The century-long settlement + 3 billion production, once exposed, "Legend of the Gods" will inevitably become the target of attention of countless people in and outside the circle in the next few years.

But the premise of all this is that the mediation can be successful.

Wu Ershan has no confidence anyway. He is just a director. His task is to successfully tell the story of "Legend of the Gods".

As for the rest, it depends on Song Ge.

"When do we set out?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. Prepare the project book and the script, and go with me. We will try to get it right the first time!"

"Okay, Mr. Song."

Wu Ershan nodded gently and accepted the job.

He was best at telling stories. He believed that Chen Fei would fall in love with the script of "Legend of the Gods" after his storytelling.

...

After "hard work" and "unremitting efforts", La Peikang finally blocked Han Sanping outside the review department of the General Administration.

"Mr. Han, you made me look for you for a long time!"

Looking at the father and daughter of "Zuoshan Diao" in front of him, La Peikang's tone was filled with a hint of complaint.

"Looking for me? What for?"

Han Sanping looked at La Peikang in confusion.

"Why can't I get through on your phone?"

"Oh, I went to some special departments yesterday and didn't come out until more than half an hour ago. I haven't had time to turn on my phone yet."

Explaining, Han Sanping turned on his phone in front of La Peikang.

Seeing this, La Peikang's resentment suddenly dissipated a little.

But before he could continue to say anything, Han Sanping asked anxiously: "Are you busy? If not, I'll leave first."

The three checkpoints of justice, health, and propaganda have finally been initially opened today. The next step is to take the script to the review department to go through the process.

Han Sanping is very busy now. He still has to say hello to Tong Gang and Zhang Hong, otherwise the review department will not dare to accept this script at all.

"So urgent... Is it for the script of Jia Nu?"

As soon as La Peikang said this, Han Sanping frowned subconsciously, and a trace of annoyance flashed through his heart uncontrollably.

"Just say what you want to say."

"Boss Han, China Film Group is also a state-owned enterprise!"

La Peikang began to feel aggrieved. Why can Shanghai Film Group and Xi'an Film Group participate, but China Film Group cannot?

"I know."

Han Sanping nodded calmly, and then came up with a killer move!

"Ren Zhonglun is willing to go to the Shanghai government for this project, and the group of people from Xi'an Film Group are throwing a tantrum at the Central Propaganda Department, and even live in the leader's office and refuse to leave, shamelessly asking for favors... The Supreme People's Procuratorate, Golden Shield, and the Navy can endorse it, and Feiyue Film and Television is responsible for production, distribution, and scheduling... Then what about you? What can you do to help me?"

After these words came out, La Peikang was silenced.

Because what he can do, Han Sanping can also solve it by himself, and he is not needed at all.

As for funding, distribution, and theaters, Feiyue Film and Television can take charge of the overall situation, and even do better than China Film Group.

So what about him?

Wave flags and shout?

Beat drums to cheer?

What's the use of these?

If you want to get political achievements, you have to work hard. If you just want to get it for free, how can other investors agree?

In the end, La Peikang could only stand aside silently and watch Han Sanping lead Han Jianu away quickly.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor, accompanied by a voice of greeting: "Hey? Mr. La? Why are you here?"

La Peikang turned around subconsciously, and when he saw the person coming towards him, he raised his eyebrows uncontrollably.

"Mr. Song? Long time no see, why are you here..."

One night passed quietly.

The next morning, when LeTV Pictures held a large premiere celebration for "Lord of the Rings", several "heavy news" suddenly flew back to China from Spain across the ocean!

"Reprinted from El Mundo (Economist): The 64th San Sebastian International Film Festival officially ended last night;

"Huayi published a long article on its official Weibo account five minutes ago, speaking highly of the talents of director Feng Xiaogang and Fan Bingbing. The article pointed out that "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is not only an excellent film, but also adds glory to Chinese films. A masterpiece that adds color;

We hope that the majority of movie fans can enter the theater and personally appreciate this film that adds a new dimension to Chinese films. Brilliant excellent work! "

I don’t know how many drafts Huayi bought. Anyway, if you look around, Weibo, major portals, social platforms and other places have all been flooded with the news that "I am not Fan Jinlian" has won the award.

The "Grand Trail" side was hit even harder, and the popularity of the premiere was directly overshadowed.

There was a wave of heated discussions on the Internet, which was dizzying and dizzying!

Chen Fei was originally reading the news, but Su Guohai's sudden arrival interrupted him.

"Director Chen, we have a guest in the company!"
