It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 197 "Source Code" Finale Banquet, heading to an altitude of 10,000 meters... WTF? Are you going to skydive? ? ?

The filming took nearly two months, and with the last kiss over, "Source Code" was officially finished.

In the next few days, Chen Fei and Ning Hao reviewed the film from beginning to end and re-shot some defective shots.

On January 9th, all the actors were present and took a group photo in front of the train.

"Zhu Yawen, squat down a little. Don't block Jiang Yiyan from behind. Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, please move a little to the side. They are too close..."

Ning Hao was in charge of directing and arranged positions for everyone.

As the male and female protagonists, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei stood in the middle of the crew, facing the camera and raising their hands in unison, making a "V".

"Click."

The shutter sounded and the picture was frozen.

When the reporters on both sides saw that the final photo shoot was over, they all came forward and pointed their microphones at Chen Fei.

"Director Chen, when is this movie going to be released? Is it still May Day?"

Chen Fei shook his head, "Not necessarily, because there are some special effects that need to be done, and the film needs to be taken abroad to see when the special effects can be completed, and then we can set a release date."

He estimated the time to be during the National Day. After all, the animation special effects studio had just been established, and some of the technology and equipment were not yet in place, so the production might be more time-consuming.

"Director Chen, what do you think about the box office of "Partners in China" exceeding 300 million?"

"How do I see it?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It must be seen with his eyes. Is it possible that he can also see with his nostrils?"

There was laughter at the scene, and the reporter smiled awkwardly and changed the way he asked the question.

"How do you feel about the box office exceeding 300 million?"

It has been exactly one month since "Partners in China" was released on December 9, and the box office has finally settled on the figure of 315 million, truly achieving a double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth!

"I'm still very satisfied with this result. Alas, if I had known that there would be such a result, I would definitely have taken it and taken it myself."

Although he was sighing, the smile on Chen Fei's face did not diminish.

The domestic box office is only 300 million yuan, which means nothing at all. He has achieved this figure long ago in Hollywood.

"This Man Is From Earth" earned US$300 million!

Ning Hao said with a smile beside him: "I have taken a big advantage. I am the only member of the director's club in China with a box office of 300 million, and I am temporarily leading the way."

Not many reporters focused their cameras on him. After all, Ning Hao's "300 million" is indeed a bit false, and he belongs to the typical "I can do whatever I want."

The story of "Partners in China" is really great. The reason why it has achieved such a high box office is largely due to the script.

At this time, another reporter asked: "Director Chen, I am a reporter from Sohu. What do you think of "A Thousand Miles Alone" and "The Promise" that were released at the same time?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Fei fell silent.

Zhang Yimou is very powerful. As the release time is extended, the film's reputation is getting better and better, and the box office is also very bright.

On the other hand, Chen Kaige's "The Promise" was withdrawn from the shelves less than a month after its release amid widespread abuse.

The domestic box office is 175 million, which is a miserable lot!

"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Let's stop the interview here for now. Let's talk when we have time."

Chen Fei chose to refuse to speak and ran away quickly.

He will not let go of this muddy water, because he knows very well that the hot discussion of "The Promise" will not end just because the movie is released. There are still many sexy tricks waiting for Brother Chen Kai!

…

At the closing banquet in the evening, people from China Film, Shanghai Film and Wanda Film Group all came.

As expected, it was Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, and Ye Ning.

"Where are you going to do the rest of the film?"

"Together with the special effects, we will take them all to overseas studios. Then I will fly to Hollywood. There will be some work there."

Chen Fei didn't say much. He planned to hide the matter about Volton Pictures and Animation Special Effects Studio for now. Once it is exposed, he will definitely be annoyed by these domestic film and television agencies.

While eating, Chen Fei went to ask Han Sanping if there were any new developments in "The Promise" recently.

"Oh, don't mention it." Han Sanping shook her head helplessly, "Before the screening, Brother Chen Kai led the behind-the-scenes team to go around the major TV stations to specifically promote the various connotations and ideas of the movie. Not only was it useless. , on the contrary, it made me look sexy."

After saying that, he sighed again: "Now it's up to the Golden Globes and Oscars. I hope I can win something."

Chen Fei stopped asking. China Film had to pay a lot of compensation this time, and it might even have an impact on Han Sanping's career.

Thanks to the support of films such as Columbia Pictures' "2012" and Chen Fei's "Source Code", "Partners in China", "On the Road", etc., otherwise Han Sanping would not even be in the mood to attend the finals banquet at this time. .

At this time, Ye Ning took the initiative to come over and asked, "Should the partners hold a celebration party?"

As soon as these words came out, Han Sanping suddenly became passionate.

"Do it! It must be done! China Film Group will be responsible for organizing it! The first domestic film to break 300 million yuan, it deserves a special event!"

This may also be a way to confuse the audience. As long as it can suppress the abuse of "The Promise" on the Internet, even "People on the Road" can do it.

It’s quite interesting to say.

After focusing on the word "Spring Festival Transport", the number of viewers of "Journey on the Road" has remained high.

Ten days after its release, the box office has already reached 60 million!

There’s also a lengthy screening period ahead.

Professionals in the industry have already made predictions. I am afraid that this small-budget comedy may eventually break through "The Promise" and crush it under its weight.

At the end of the closing banquet, Han Sanping asked again, "The promotion of "Huo Yuanjia" has also begun. If you are not in a hurry to fly to Hollywood during this period, can you help us appear in a few shows together?"

"good."

Chen Fei nodded and agreed directly.

He really wasn't planning to leave for the next two days.

"Source Code" has just been completed. I have to complete the system tasks tomorrow, and then go back to my hometown to see the old man.

Based on this calculation, time seems to be quite tight.

…

After the closing banquet was over, everyone dispersed.

The shooting equipment was provided by Shanghai Film Group Corporation and was returned after the filming was over, while the other staff and actors also returned to the capital.

Liu Yifei had to join the rest of the cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and also had to practice singing, so she left by plane early the next morning.

By noon, Chen Fei was the only one left in the hotel.

All the parachute equipment was in place. After a final confirmation, he left the hotel and took a taxi directly to the Bund.

At Chen Fei's request, Ren Zhonglun specially made the logo on the landing platform bright red.

It is not an easy task to accurately land on the landing platform at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Every detail must be ensured to be flawless.

After picking up the telescope and confirming the position one last time, and recording the longitude and latitude coordinates of the center on the GPS, Chen Fei turned around and headed to the airport.

Ren Zhonglun had already contacted the plane for him, and he could take off after he got there. The pilot had been waiting for him all morning.

Arriving at Hongqiao Airport, Chen Fei walked in through the internal passage and met the pilot who took him to the sky in front of a private apron.

He Zhuo, male, 47 years old, retired fighter pilot.

"Master He."

After seeing him, Chen Fei greeted him politely.

"Ouch? You are such a big star, Lao Ren didn't lie to me!"

He Zhuo and Ren Zhonglun were comrades-in-arms when they were young, and they had served in the military in the same place.

But in the end, Ren Zhonglun chose to retire, while He Zhuo became a pilot, and now he is working as a flight consultant for a private airline.

Chen Fei smiled and nodded, looking behind him subconsciously.

At first, he told Ren Zhonglun that he was going to shoot at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so he had great requirements for the stability of the aircraft. Today, He Zhuo specially bought him an old-fashioned propeller aircraft.

Only this kind of aircraft can stably fly above 10,000 meters, which neither civil aviation aircraft nor helicopters can do.

He Zhuo introduced from the side, "The fuel has been filled up, and the route is fine. Lao Ren said you want to go to the Huangpu River for filming, right?"

"um, yes."

Chen Fei tightened his tight backpack and said directly without further delay: "Then let's set off now?"

"Okay, I'll go talk to the terminal and confirm the departure time."

After saying that, He Zhuo turned and walked elsewhere.

Chen Fei didn't wait any longer. After thinking about it, he simply took off his backpack and started to take out the equipment from inside.

He first put on the flight jumpsuit that he had prepared in advance, then put on goggles and flying gloves, and at the same time stuck the miniature oxygen bottle on his waist.

The oxygen mask hangs on the chest and can be put on immediately when needed.

As for the GPS, it is also strapped to the wrist to facilitate timely observation and determine the final landing position.

There was also the most important parachute bag. He checked it several times and made sure that the parachute opening position was accurate, and then he felt relieved.

After preparing all this, He Zhuo had already contacted the terminal and changed into his flight suit.

However, when he came back and saw Chen Fei's equipment, he suddenly froze on the spot.

"You...want to skydive???"

As a former pilot, He Zhuo was very familiar with the equipment on Chen Fei.

This is a complete set of equipment for high-altitude skydiving!

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and pointed at the camera on his chest and said, "I'm going to take a bird's-eye view of the entire Magic City."

"Can you skydive?"

He Zhuo looked surprised. Ren Zhonglun never mentioned this when he called him over.

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded and added: "I have no less than a hundred skydiving experiences, and I also have a series of qualification certificates such as a personal skydiving certificate."

These were all done by Toblos when he was abroad, in order to prevent subsequent procedural problems.

"Wait a moment, I have to go and talk to Lao Ren."

He Zhuo frowned and went to the side to make a phone call.

After a while, Ren Zhonglun's call came to Chen Fei.

As soon as the connection was connected, a surprised shout came from the other side, "What the hell? Chen Fei? Aren't you going to shoot a scene? Why are you doing skydiving again?"

"It's a skydiving scene..."

Chen Fei could only explain it to him again.

On the other end of the phone, Ren Zhonglun was silent for a long time and asked tentatively: "Are you...sure you can do it?"

"I have proof."

Three simple words directly blocked all the problems behind Ren Zhonglun.

…

The plane finally took off within the stipulated time, and the condition was that Chen Fei signed a liability exemption agreement.

"Brother, are you sure you have to fly above 10,000 meters? It's not a difficult place to jump, and the difficulty is not that high."

Skydiving is a very dangerous sport. Even for a fixed-point skydiving competition, the height set is only one thousand meters.

But this time Chen Fei asked to go to an altitude of 10,000 meters. The difficulty was not ordinary!

"You can fly with confidence, as long as you keep your position above the Huangpu River, I marked the landing point there."

"All right."

After taking a look at the GPS on Chen Fei's wrist, He Zhuo stopped talking.

The plane was constantly increasing in altitude, and Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to recall the knowledge about skydiving in his mind.

In fact, the first time he acquired the "skydiving" skill, various skydiving techniques were deeply imprinted in his mind, and even formed an instinctive reaction.

But at this last moment, repeating the memory can be regarded as a way to relieve tension.

Body swing, steering, deceleration, acceleration, high-altitude balance, airflow sliding positioning...

Various skydiving techniques kept flashing through Chen Fei's mind.

…

The plane lifted extremely quickly, and in less than a minute, it had reached a position a thousand meters above the ground.

In order to prevent the air flow from being unbalanced by opening the door at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the aircraft did not close the door from the moment it took off.

The chaotic air flow swept into the cabin and stirred the ends of Chen Fei's hair.

Under the goggles, his eyes were very calm.

Looking down at the tall buildings on the ground that were getting smaller and smaller, he unconsciously showed an expression of great anticipation on his face, as if he couldn't wait to start taking action.

At this time, He Zhuo was observing Chen Fei's condition from the piloting position of the aircraft.

Seeing that Chen Fei not only didn't feel nervous at all, but looked impatient, he felt a little puzzled.

This young man?

Why don't you look a little scared or nervous?

Are talented people bold?

At this moment, He Zhuo suddenly recalled what his coach said to him when he skydived for the first time.

"If the first thing you need to pay attention to when skydiving is your equipment and your own skills, then the second thing you need to pay attention to is your psychological quality, especially the kind of character that is as stable as a mountain in the face of desperate situations, which is extremely important!"

You know, in the sport of skydiving, there have been many cases where people were suddenly frightened at the critical moment of parachuting, which led to tragic endings.

…

"Huh...huh...huh..."

The wind is blowing high in the sky!

As the propeller turns faster and faster, the distance between the aircraft and the ground is also rapidly lengthening.

A few minutes later, the plane had reached an altitude of 5,000 meters and entered the cirrus cloud area.

Compared with stratus clouds at 600 meters, cumulus clouds at 1,000 meters, and altostratus clouds at 3,500 meters, cirrus clouds are much better to watch.

The clouds here are slightly transparent, thin and slender, like silk strands.

Especially under the sunlight, the clouds seem to be emitting colorful light!

"gorgeous!"

Chen Fei couldn't help but pick up the camera and press the shutter at the picture outside the window.

The plane continued to rise.

After reaching more than 5,000 meters, it becomes much more difficult to continue to rise. Not only do you need to consider the collision of airflows, but you also have to avoid some aircraft channels.

At this time, He Zhuozheng was frequently speaking words on the intercom that Chen Fei didn't understand, and his eyes would fall on the radar from time to time.

Time passed minute by minute, and with He Zhuo's efforts, the plane finally climbed to the designated height.

"Next, I will go to the sky above the Huangpu River area. You should pay attention to your GPS and try to choose a suitable starting point."

"OK."

Chen Fei nodded, his expression became much more solemn.

Thousands of meters high in the sky, cirrocumulus clouds are scattered here and there, and the blue sky looks extremely bright.

Although the scorching sun is in the sky, the wind is howling!

The temperature in the cabin began to drop rapidly, and the coolness continued to invade Chen Fei's body, making him mentally stunned.

After flying for almost five minutes, he said, "Teacher He Zhuo, it's almost done. Let's go over here."

Hearing this, He Zhuo made an "Ok" gesture, stabilized the flying height, and at the same time drove the aircraft to hover.

Taking his eyes away from the GPS, Chen Fei subconsciously glanced out the window.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, everything as far as the eye can see is pure white.

Although the weather is very good today, there are a lot of clouds in the sky, which makes it much more difficult to identify the direction.

If it weren't for GPS, the task would probably be several times more difficult.

"call…"

After slowly exhaling, Chen Fei unbuckled his seat belt and came to the back of the cabin.

Bursts of cold wind swept in from outside the cabin door, chilling to the bones!

The plane was still a little bumpy, and the airflow outside the cabin door was also very chaotic. This was obviously not the best time to take off.

He just stood at the door of the plane, quietly waiting for the right opportunity to take off.

At the same time, many people have gathered on the Bund!

When he learned that the platform in the Huangpu River was actually where Chen Fei used to parachute and land, Ren Zhonglun's first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible!

Jumping down from a height of 10,000 meters, you have to land in a palm-sized position while taking pictures. Isn't this a joke?

But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a possibility of success in this matter.

After all, the person who skydive was Chen Fei.

This boy has created enough miracles!

After pondering for a while, Ren Zhonglun felt that he couldn't just wait and see. He had to go to the Bund to see if anything happened and he would be in trouble.

While setting off from the company, he also called for an ambulance and a speedboat in case of emergency.

After this operation, the movement will inevitably become louder.

The reporters were like cats that smelled something fishy. They followed Ren Zhonglun with their cameras in their hands, all trying to get first-hand sources of hot headlines.

However, after chasing him to the Bund, seeing Ren Zhonglun standing behind the railing by the Huangpu River surrounded by a group of people, the reporters and paparazzi outside couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What does this CEO of Shanghai Film Academy want to do?"

"I don't know. It's an ambulance and a speedboat. Could it be that someone fell into the Huangpu River?"

"It doesn't feel like it. The speedboats and medical staff are all ready, as if they are waiting for something."

"I can't understand something. Why don't you go up and ask?"

"What the hell are you asking? Didn't you see that those bodyguards were guarding both sides? You'll find out after a while."

"Which one of you has a telescope? Why do I see Ren Zhonglun and the others each holding a telescope and looking up into the sky?"

"In the sky? There's nothing there? What's there to see?"
