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

The association had just finished its meeting the day before, and Chen Fei saw an announcement on the portal the next day.

"We severely condemn the behaviors and individuals who maliciously harm the film and television industry, slander and slander the film industry, respect the interests of the injured parties, and will actively provide all help including legal means..."

He curled his lips with disdain.

"Tch? What's the difference between this and not saying it's hairy?"

He knew that this meeting would not go well, and it would be difficult for everyone to agree. Could it be possible to remove all videos and articles from the shelves?

The Tang Dynasty provided timely clarification and avoided a condemnation.

The video producer also issued an urgent apology to the whole network.

He himself was very unjust. Who knew that just cutting a video would actually cause a wave of shock in the film and television industry?

I apologized and the source video was removed from the shelves, but the popularity on the Internet has not diminished at all.

There was no way, there were so many copied and forwarded versions, it had spread completely and it was impossible to suppress it.

…

After staying with the old man at home for two days and eating several meals of game, Chen Fei was finally satisfied.

I’ve been waiting for this for a year!

"Bright Sword" was playing on the TV. The old man was fascinated by it and kept talking: "Boy, your TV shooting is really good. From now on, you will make movies like this. It will make the people watching feel comfortable. You should beat the kid like this." Devil, remember back then..."

"OK."

Chen Fei smiled happily. The old man has always liked military movies. This preference has not changed as long as he can remember.

I believe that "Soldier Assault" will definitely give him some surprises.

"The Lotus Lantern is also pretty good, Erlang Shen is so good!"

"Hey, do you still like to watch mythological movies?"

The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Just take a look, the "Wulin Gaiden" is not bad, but it's a bit too noisy."

"Haha, this kind of film is called a sitcom. It is based on the comedy template. It will definitely be hilarious."

"The Promise" is considered to be the biggest hot event in the film industry in 2005, but there is a trend of a hundred flowers blooming in the television industry.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Lotus Lantern", "Bright Sword", "The Best in the World"...

There are endless types of films.

Of course, the most shocking thing is undoubtedly the "Survival of Migrant Workers" starring Huang Bo, which was unanimously rated as the most "real" TV series by netizens!

I heard that it has been banned several times, so the name may need to be changed.

At the beginning of 2006, rumors of various good dramas began to spread one after another.

"Wulin Gaiden" and "Eight Heroes" will take the lead in the battle, "Flying Fairies" will also be on the TV station on the 15th, and the promotion of "Qiao Family Courtyard" has also begun...

Of course, the most popular one is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in March.

Zhang Dabeard was crazy with joy.

He never expected that the two male and female protagonists he found would actually make such a big "commotion" last year!

Liu Yifei participated in "Source Code", signed a contract with Sony Records, and became the most dazzling little flower among the post-85 generation. No one can surpass her.

Huang Xiaoming is even more exaggerated.

He participated in "Partners in China" and became the leading male actor in a commercial film with a box office of 300 million. Over there, "The Banquet", which he collaborated with Feng Xiaogang, is even more popular and is constantly being searched.

Now the two of them jointly promote the Divine Condor, and every time they appear on a show, they can cause a huge sensation on the scene!

In comparison, the popularity of "Seven Swordsmen" is relatively weak.

As for "The Legend of White Snake" and "The King of Fire" in May, they have just begun to show their signs and have not officially started to enter the promotion period.

…

After staying at home for another day and helping the old man clean up the yard, Chen Fei directly got on the plane to the capital.

The flight to Los Angeles was scheduled for the evening, and while he still had some free time, he went on a talk show with Li Lianjie and Sun Li.

There are only a few Chinese actors in Hollywood, and among male actors, Li Lian is quite good.

The media regards this "Fearless" as his "pioneering work" after returning from Hollywood, and they are optimistic about it, saying that it will definitely create a major genre of kung fu movies.

Of course, he is still weaker than Chen Long. After all, that one is stronger in all aspects, almost beating him in terms of IQ and EQ.

The eldest brother is also a bit casual in the relationship between men and women, but this is a trivial matter and is not worth mentioning compared to his identity.

The filming of "Baby Project" is in progress, and Chen Long didn't even call. It's probably not time to help with the guest appearance.

As soon as the interview ended, reporters crowded around and wanted to ask Chen Fei what he thought about "The Promise".

"I still have to catch a flight, let's talk next time..."

He found a random excuse and successfully left the TV station under the escort of security guards and went straight to the airport.

After the domestic meeting, Brother Chen Kai and Chen Hong flew directly to Hollywood, aiming directly at the Oscars!

The steamed bun incident had a huge impact on the film. If he had failed to win an award abroad, the myth created by "Farewell My Concubine" would have been weakened by more than half!

Compared to the video editor, Liu Yan was relatively lucky.

After all, the person standing behind her is Wang Changtian of Guangguang. The host competition has found a good backer for her, and Lao Wang will do his best to protect her.

…

Brother Chen Kai went abroad, and Feng Xiaogang was tossing about his movie "The Night Banquet". The reporters couldn't catch Chen Fei, so they could only focus on Zhang Yimou.

Lao Mouzi has been having a lot of fun these days.

Following the success of "Ride Alone for Thousands of Miles", "The Golden Armor in the City" was launched soon after.

Zhou Rongfa, Gong Li, Zhou Jie on...

They are all "A-list" celebrities, and the huge lineup is destined to be an extraordinary movie.

Zhang Weiping has been acting like a pubertal male dog in the past two days, running around and appearing on major talk shows to talk about the creation process of this movie.

"For this movie, we will focus on artistry and commerciality, take care of the audience's viewing experience, and avoid situations similar to "The Promise"..."

…

In the VIP terminal of the airport, Chen Fei met Han Sanping, who was also preparing to go to Los Angeles.

As soon as they met, the third master began to vomit bitterness, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Zhang Weicheng!

"This guy is not only selfish, but barks everywhere like a mad dog without caring about the feelings of other people in the circle. He will be finished sooner or later..."

Let’s not talk about the distant ones. Starting from "Hero", in all Zhang Yimou’s films, the only investor is New Picture Pictures!

Zhang Weiping directly locked up Lao Mouzi, leaving no chance for others.

Han Sanping was originally very angry at his behavior, but when the budget for "City of Golden Armor" came out, he became even more furious!

The investment of 360 million is only 10 million more than "The Promise". This investment is purely based on a competition.

The media has begun to spread the news that Zhang Yimou is preparing to teach Brother Chen Kai how to shoot a real blockbuster!

No wonder Han Sanping was so angry. Zhang Weiping's move was like slapping him in the face in front of him, and he was merciless.

"Calm down, there's no need. If you're angry, your health will be bad..."

Chen Fei could only try to persuade him nicely, but it was absolutely impossible for him to express his opinion!

He is not prepared to get involved in the conflict between these two people. Making a fortune quietly and conquering Hollywood along the way is his ultimate goal.

"Right? What's the status of the new project you mentioned before? Is there any progress?"

new project?

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "I've written a new script and found a producer. It won't take long to start filming.

If you want to bring China Film Group in for a piece of meat, you have to leave it to Mr. Han to do the domestic distribution. If you have money, let’s make it together..."

Upon hearing this, the anger on Han Sanping's face quickly dissipated.

"It's better for you to take the road. Everyone will make money in a friendly manner, and everyone will benefit from the market development, but some people just can't figure this out..."

"Yes, yes! Yes, yes! OK, OK!"

Chen Fei nodded in agreement, but did not express any opinions. He pretended not to have heard the private information contained in Han Sanping's words.

After getting on the plane, he continued to chatter: "How much is the investment in the new movie? You should get a charter as soon as possible. The hole in Wuji is too big and must be filled quickly. The company has too many objections to me in the past two days. It's really It’s a headache.”

"90 million."

"Dollar?"

"That's for sure. Hollywood only recognizes that stuff."

"90 million U.S. dollars, according to the current exchange rate, is...more than 700 million yuan?"

"right."

…

Chen Fei had a good sleep in the past twelve hours. After getting the investment share data for the new movie, Han Sanping fell into silence.

Thinking about the 300 million in "The Promise" and comparing it to the 700 million in Hollywood, he felt an inexplicable strong sense of frustration.

When he got off the plane, he suddenly said to Chen Fei: "Let's discuss something?"

"What?" Chen Fei looked confused.

"Why don't you go back to China and make a big production? Let people in China see what a truly top-notch production is?"

"Don't be joking."

Chen Fei couldn't help but smile, but seeing Han Sanping's look of great anticipation, he could only explain patiently:

"There are too few screens in China, and even fewer people can afford to watch movies. Even if I can make it, where will I find such a large audience?

Moreover, a real blockbuster is a combination of 2D, 3D and IMAX-3D formats. Tell me, how many theaters in China support the release? "

"..."

"well!"

After a long sigh, the third master looked very lonely.

There was a treasure mountain in front of him, but he didn't have a suitable hoe to cultivate it. Not to mention how frustrating it felt.

"It is urgent to develop cinemas and improve the economy."

After typing twelve words, Chen Fei left together with Bruce who came to pick him up.

Tomorrow night is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. He has to prepare the suit for the appearance, and then he has to send the negatives of "Source Code" to the company.

What follows is bound to be another busy day.

…

Bruce asked curiously as he drove the car.

"Fei, I seem to have seen that person just now somewhere. He looks familiar."

Chen Fei responded casually: "I'm China Film's deputy, but I guess it won't take long to become a regular."

"Oh! Big shot?"

"Yes, he has the final say on imported films in Hollywood."

In fact, Han Sanping came to Hollywood this time not just because of "The Promise". Whether that film will win awards will all depend on Chen Kaige's ability. Sanye can't say anything here.

He came here mainly to contact those who made imported films.

"King Kong" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" have received very good responses domestically, bringing a lot of benefits to China Film and Television, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

And this time he came here, he wanted to bring back more imported films.

"Mission Impossible 3", "The Da Vinci Code", "Superman Returns", "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift", "2012"...

These are the goals of his trip.

While driving the car, the two chatted.

Chen Fei asked casually: "2005 is over. Has the box office ranking of Hollywood movies been released? Who took the first place?"

"Warner's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" took first place at the box office with $896 million, 20th Century Fox's "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Hiss" took second place with $868 million, and Walt Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" came in third with $745 million."

Um?

Chen Fei's brows trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Where is the Universal Pictures' "King Kong"?"

"I only received US$556 million and was kicked to fifth place."

"It's a pity..."

Chen Fei sighed. He originally had high hopes for this movie. The perspective effect was really shocking.

"The box office is the best proof."

Bruce disagreed, but said with some excitement: "Our company's "The Man from Earth" ranked ninth with a box office of 380 million, beating "Batman Begins" jointly produced by Warner, DC, and Legendary. ” and Columbia Pictures’ “The Rivals.”

"Yo?"

Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, "How was the response?"

"Tsk tsk..." Bruce said with admiration, "I'm afraid it won't be long before you can go to the Avenue of Stars to have your fingerprints pressed."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to that day very much."

Chen Fei smiled very happily.

…

Under the influence of Natasha's constant waving of the "dollar hoe", the animation special effects studio was quickly established, and some equipment was filled in one after another.

When you come to the studio, you can see many people busy with various tasks.

They come from top special effects companies such as Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, Weta Digital, Sony Graphics, Digital Domain, Alliance Graphics, and Double Negative.

"War for the Planet of the Apes", "Wall-E", "Kung Fu Panda".

These three films are part of the studio's near-term slate.

Under the original plan, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" would be released in 2006, "Wall-E" in 2007, and "Kung Fu Panda" in 2008.

Therefore, you can see many orangutan specimens in the current studio, as well as a variety of motion capture cameras and wearable equipment.

Natasha said as if taking credit: "Fei, how about it? This is the team I formed in just three months. Isn't it cool?"

"sharp!"

Chen Fei gave her a thumbs up.

The head of the studio is Pedro Lyle, a top special effects master that Natasha poached from Industrial Light and Magic!

The high price even surprised Natasha, a rich woman.

"Mr. Pedro, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you."

"Oh! Fei! I've been wanting to see you for a long time! You're so wonderful, and I especially want to know how many wonderful ideas you have in your head!"

In fact, Pedro had no idea of ​​changing jobs before. Although the salary offered to him by Industrial Light and Magic was not the best in the industry, it was better than stable.

However, he was still impressed by Natasha's "dollar hoe".

However, before officially resigning, he still made the request and wanted to come over to see the situation in the studio.

Then...he saw three scripts: "War for the Planet of the Apes", "Wall-E", and "Kung Fu Panda"!

If "Dollar Hoe" only accounts for 40% of the persuasion conditions, then these three scripts fill in the remaining 60%!

"Haha, we can talk about our ideals and dreams when we have time."

Chen Fei said with a smile, and at the same time handed him the storage device that stored the negatives of "Source Code".

"Pedro, I have a job here so I have to jump in line first. It won't take up too much of your time."

"oh?"

After taking the memory, Pedro inserted it into the card reader.

Scenes of scenes were laid out and rendered on the screen.

"I need some explosions, a whole train blowing up, the world cracking open like a mirror, and at the same time..."

After staying in the company for a whole afternoon, Chen Fei put forward all his demands.

"Source Code" doesn't have many special effects, so Pedro responded easily, "Fei, I can complete all your requirements within a week."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

After handing him the negatives, Chen Fei turned around and entered Natasha's office again.

He can't wait to know what's going on with Marvel.

Natasha took out a form and handed it to him, frowning slightly, and said with some confusion: "Fei, I found a professional company to conduct audit statistics, combined with the stock price, and finally came up with an acquisition figure."

Looking at the long string of "0"s in the form, Chen Fei couldn't help but take a breath.

"3.1 billion?"

"Yes!" Natasha nodded, with a complicated expression on her face, "Fei, I don't have that much money. This number is too huge. If we need to complete this acquisition, we must borrow money from outside."

Loan $3.1 billion?

When he thought of this number, Chen Fei couldn't help but tremble a little.

This horse riding is an astronomical figure!

But with such a good opportunity before him, he really didn't want to miss it.

"Can I get a loan?"

"able!"

Natasha nodded decisively, but then suddenly changed the subject: "I can apply for this payment from the family, but there must be collateral."

"for example?"

"All shares of Waltons Pictures, all the company's scripts, and your lifetime contract..."

Natasha listed many very demanding conditions.

In short, the money can be paid by the Waltons family, but it must be paid back within the specified time, and high interest will accrue during this period.

If Chen Fei cannot do it, then everything about him, including his domestic Feiyue Film and Television Company and himself, will have to work for the Waltons family for the rest of his life until all the debts, high interest, double liquidated damages, etc. are repaid. Until it’s over!

And the loan period is ten years!

"Borrow US$3.1 billion and pay it back in ten years? High interest rates?"

The corners of Chen Fei's mouth raised slightly, but he felt a hint of admiration for the person who came up with the idea.

What a plan!

If he can't repay the money, then ten years later, Marvel will still belong to Volton Pictures, but his shares in Volton, including his future and everything about him, will all belong to Volton. The family is gone.

But if he is still on board, it means that this company has been promoted to a level comparable to the top eight in Hollywood!

And when that time comes, Natasha will also benefit immensely from this.

In other words, no matter whether the money can be repaid or not, Walton Pictures will not have any impact, but he has to use his own life as a mortgage.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly had a clear understanding of the group of people from Wall Street.

This operation is simply amazing!

People tell you clearly that this is a conspiracy, it depends on whether you are willing to take the bait.

If you want to lose, you will lose alone.

If you want to make money, take Natasha with you!

The other party clearly wanted to completely "bind" Chen Fei and Natasha.

Thoughts kept surging in his mind. After pondering for a long time, Chen Fei had a smile on his face.

"Natasha, I agree to this condition, but I hope that the funding and acquisition can be completed as soon as possible. I can't wait to show off my talents!"

Across the desk, looking at Chen Fei who was full of confidence, Natasha's eyes flashed with surprise unconsciously!

"Fei? Are you so confident that you can pay it back? That's US$3.1 billion, can you do it?"

Raising his eyebrows, Chen Fei said confidently: "Natasha, never ask a man if he can do it. I will let you see what it means to be shocked by "strength"!"

"Okay, then let me wait and see."

The girl's eyes shone, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in her heart.

From the first time they met, she felt that there was something different about the boy in front of her, and now, this feeling seemed to be getting stronger!

Where did he get his confidence?

The girl was surprised in her heart, but she had no idea that a mandala flower named "Curiosity" was quietly taking root and sprouting in her heart, waiting for the moment to bloom...
