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

The Hong Kong film and television industry may not be considered small, but after so many years of development, it can be said to be a mixed bag!

Especially in the 1970s and 1980s, almost every Asian country in that era had imported Hong Kong films. Anyone you name would have seen at least ten Hong Kong films.

Just because the place is small, it restricts development. Since the glory of "Infernal Affairs", it has officially gone downhill.

Under the current situation, there are probably two factions here.

One side adapts to the times, embraces the mainland, and makes a lot of money.

The other side is obsessed with the past, conservative and xenophobic, and is rapidly declining.

But the strange thing is that although the latter is very jealous of the former's performance, he always has an aggressive attitude and is very contemptuous of the former's behavior.

They believe that embracing the mainland is a deviant act, and they should stick to this tiny land.

…

Because they had to attend the Academy Awards first, Chen Fei and Donnie Yen took the same plane back to Hong Kong.

During this period, Donnie Yen told him many inside stories about the Hong Kong film and television industry.

For example, the management company's oppression of artists even involves illegal activities. The methods are very cruel and even deprive of freedom of speech!

And because of the decline in resources and exposure, celebrities are using all means to attack and hype each other up!

This behavior of criminals forcing actors to film at gunpoint still happens from time to time.

"Oh, the little demon in the temple is strong in the wind, and the water is shallow and there are many bastards."

Chen Fei said his evaluation in front of Donnie Yen unceremoniously.

"Alas, there are too many bosses, and some things are completely beyond our control."

Donnie Yen sighed with emotion.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to receive the movie "Ip Man", I'm afraid he would have been in the category of "involuntarily".

…

After getting off the plane, someone from Emperor's side was waiting outside the airport early.

As expected, it was still Huo Wenxi who came in person, but among the people accompanying him, Nicholas Tse actually appeared.

"Director Chen, thank you for your hard work after a long journey."

Huo Wenxi always has a smiling face, giving people a very friendly and easy-to-get-with feeling.

"Haha, Director Huo, why are you here in person again? Just arrange a car, there's no need to go to such trouble."

"Yes, this is what Mr. Yang specially ordered. If I have neglected Director Chen in any way, I hope you will forgive me."

"Where's Mr. Yang?"

"Mr. Yang has prepared wine and food in the hotel, waiting for you to come over."

There was a bodyguard next to him who wanted to open the door for Chen Fei, but Huo Wenxi grabbed him and opened the door for him first.

Nicholas Tse, who was among the entourage, had a very complicated expression.

This status, this appearance, this posture...

It simply made him feel like he was beyond his reach!

After Chen Fei won the Golden Bear Award, his status in the industry skyrocketed. Now with the support of the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar, there is a trend of leading the way!

Previously, Zhang Yimou was the number one director in the domestic film and television industry. However, with Chen Fei's rapid rise in recent years, it seems that this title of "number one" is about to be lost.

Sitting on the extended Bentley, Huo Wenxi took the initiative to introduce Chen Fei: "This is the artist signed by Emperor, Nicholas Tse."

"Hello, Director Chen."

Xie Tingfeng stood up quickly and bowed to say hello.

"Well, I've heard the song you sang, and it's very good."

When watching the Spring Festival Gala in Chinatown before, Chen Fei saw this figure on TV.

Now looking at his state, the sharp edge on his body has long been smoothed away, he is humble and polite, and he looks completely different from before.

Combined with the fact that Huo Wenxi personally brought him to pick him up at the airport, it was obvious that this person would be the one to be strongly recommended next.

Donnie Yen was silent on the sidelines, not at all nervous because he had already received the script for "Ip Man 2".

With Chen Fei here, he is not afraid that anyone will shake his position in the "Ip Man" series of movies.

Looking at the attitudes of Nicholas Tse and Huo Wenxi, he was secretly glad that he had the foresight to change his nationality back in time, otherwise things would have been much more complicated.

…

Arriving at the hotel, the group walked into the box under the leadership of Huo Wenxi.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that besides Yang Shoucheng, there were other people sitting inside.

Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun, these two are old acquaintances.

What really surprised him was that Jiang Wen and his current wife Zhou Yun were also there!

This woman, who is 15 years younger than Jiang Wen, is just 28 this year. As her name suggests, she has an extraordinary temperament and full of charm. No wonder netizens are saying that Director Jiang will really marry.

"Director Chen, here we come."

Yang Shoucheng stood up first, followed closely by the others.

"Haha, Mr. Han, Mr. Ren, Director Jiang... there are so many people here, it's quite lively."

Chen Fei greeted everyone in turn.

He had met Jiang Wen once before at the Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony, and now they are not strangers.

After sitting down, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Director Jiang? Is filming of "The Sun Also Rises" finished?"

As soon as he saw this person, he was inexplicably reminded of Riku Taro's "Looking for the Gun".

As a director of a movie, he actually has no directing rights at all. I heard that it made Riku Taro angry and cried. It was so funny.

"Ahem." Jiang Wen smiled awkwardly: "It's almost done. I guess it will be done before the end of the year."

When he mentioned this, he felt a little ashamed unconsciously.

A literary film that was supposed to win awards was turned into a commercial blockbuster by him. The cost continued to rise, making him a little embarrassed to face the Emperor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen quickly changed the topic: "I haven't congratulated Chen Fei for winning the award. That's an Oscar. It's awesome."

"It's just good luck."

Chen Fei used his snake oil recovery again.

Han Sanping rolled her eyes at him helplessly, "Your luck is one of the best in the entire film and television industry. You have the Golden Bear and the Oscar. Shouldn't you challenge the Palme d'Or and the Golden Lion next?"

"The idea is indeed there."

Um? !

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several people in the box lit up.

Ren Zhonglun hurriedly said: "What are the regulations? Do you have a plan? How much money do you need to invest? Just tell me the number, and Shanghai Film Academy will cover it all for you."

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Han Sanping stopped him hastily, "Old Ren, it's not a good habit to eat alone."

Yang Shoucheng watched eagerly from the side, but did not speak.

It seems that the Emperor is not yet qualified...

Seeing that the two of them were already fighting, Chen Fei hurriedly said: "Hey, I just said that I have this idea, the script is not yet available."

After hearing this, the two gave up.

"If you have any plans, remember to inform me as soon as possible." Ren Zhonglun looked hopeful.

"Let's talk about it then."

Chen Fei didn't rush to agree. He didn't even know what the regulations were. Everything had to look at the system.

"Come, let's chat while we eat. This wine is something I have treasured for many years..."

Yang Shoucheng greeted everyone.

…

It is said that things are easier to do at the wine table, and it is indeed true.

After eating and drinking, Han Sanping mentioned the follow-up arrangements for "Ip Man".

It has been more than a month since the first part was released. The domestic box office has steadily exceeded 150 million, which can be said to be a great success.

For a series like this, the interval must not be too long, so it’s time to start preparing for the second one.

"Part two?"

Chen Fei wiped his mouth and did not immediately reveal his follow-up plan.

Xie Tingfeng raised his head and watched eagerly.

Huo Wenxi moved his gaze to Yang Shoucheng, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

The box suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Chen Fei.

"It's still the same process as before. I've already given the script for the second part to Brother Yu in advance. The other guys can just look at the arrangements and try not to choose controversial actors."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Tingfeng's expression suddenly darkened a bit.

He originally wanted to replace Donnie Yen and play the leading role in the second film as the "direct descendant" of the Emperor, but looking at it now, this matter was completely his own fantasy.

Donnie Yen had already gone to talk to Chen Fei and even called him "Brother Zhen".

Huo Wenxi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say much.

After all...she doesn't have the qualifications either.

Yang Shoucheng was very calm, after all, he had anticipated this situation long ago.

On the premise that Chen Fei and Huo Qigang jointly invested in the acquisition of Golden Harvest, the other party was willing to cooperate with Emperor on "Ip Man 2", and he was actually very happy.

"Okay, just listen to Director Chen."

Yang Shoucheng smiled and nodded.

But at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly added: "There is a script of mine over there in Jiahe called "October Siege". There is a character in it that is very suitable for Ting Feng. If you are interested, you can let him Go get a fitting.”

Um! ?

Xie Tingfeng raised his head suddenly, his eyes brightening.

Before he could speak, Huo Wenxi hurriedly took over the topic: "Okay, thank you Director Chen, I will arrange for Ting Feng to audition."

These things are just small interludes. After the cooperation is discussed, the rest is eating and drinking in the second half.

Tomorrow night is the Academy Awards ceremony. As we chatted, everyone unconsciously talked about the nomination list.

Jiang Wen's mouth was full of alcohol, and he muttered nonchalantly, "Oh, Lu Chuan did a great job with "Kekexili", but I don't know if this movie is his..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

Zhou Yun quickly made amends, "I'm sorry, Jiang Wen likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk. Don't take him seriously."

"Haha, it's okay. Director Jiang loves to tell the truth. This is worth learning from me."

Chen Fei smiled and waved his hand, but when he turned his head and looked at Jiang Wen, their eyes were full of deep meaning.

After dinner, Chen Fei went back to his room to catch up on the jet lag.

The paparazzi here have a really keen sense of smell. Not long after, the news about his arrival in Hong Kong was published.

After answering several calls, Chen Fei turned off the phone and ignored the messy messages.

…

But when he arrived at the hotel designated by the organizer of the Academy Awards the next day, a piece of news suddenly came out.

Huang Xiaoming was sued by his agency to court!

The content is roughly that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Chinese Partner", "The Night Banquet" and other film and television dramas were all received by him privately without the company's knowledge.

If nothing happens sooner or later, it will be exposed when Huang Xiaoming attends the Academy Awards ceremony...

"Have you offended someone?"

Chen Fei didn't have any taboos, so he asked directly in front of Huang Xiaoming.

"Oh, don't mention it."

Shaking his head helplessly, Huang Xiaoming explained: "After "The Night Banquet" was completed, the company wanted me to take on another film, but I didn't like the script, so I turned it down and then turned around to take it. Another TV series is called "New Shanghai Beach".

In addition, the contract expires in May, and I am not planning to renew the contract with them, so this is a mess. "

"Then how do you deal with it? Do you need my help?"

"That's not necessary." Huang Xiaoming smiled, "Isn't it just a lawsuit? At worst, I can pay some money and I can escape."

He didn't say anything unnecessary, but Chen Fei could still clearly see that he was very confident.

Combined with the recent rumors between him and Huayi...

It was obvious that the two Wang brothers were supporting him.

There is no right or wrong in this matter. The agency wanted him to take on some high-rent movies to earn money, squeezing out the last bit of profit he could get before the contract was terminated, but Huang Xiaoming didn't want to destroy the popularity he had finally accumulated.

Breaking up is inevitable.

…

The red carpet ceremony was quite lively.

The crew of "Partners in China" was scheduled to appear in the finale, so Chen Fei saw many acquaintances while sitting in the car.

"Underworld", "Seven Swords", "If Love", "Myth", "Initial D".

The above five movies are considered competitors of Chinese partners.

Several major directors such as Johnnie To, Xu Ke, Chen Kexin, Er Dongsheng, and Liu Weiqiang entered the stage one after another, and the lineups were very large.

Ning Hao's right hand was trembling slightly, these were his competitors.

Followed closely by Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau, and Simon Yam, these are all strong contenders for Best Actor.

Huang Xiaoming was obviously a little nervous.

He felt really guilty competing with these seniors from the Hong Kong circle.

Zhu Zhu, who was sitting in the back, was even more nervous. After all, her opponents were Zhou Xun, Zheng Xiuwen, Zhang Aijia, Mo Wenwei, Lin Jiaxin and others, all of whom were first- and second-tier actresses in the industry.

Jay Chou was nominated for Best New Actor, and he was also present today. The fans at the scene were going crazy, and they were in a state of roaring like a tsunami.

Chen Long, Yuan Heping, Liu Jiangliang and others were nominated for best action design, and they also arrived at the scene today.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Fei was also nominated for the Best Action Design Award for his various performances in "Slaying the Wolf".

In addition to this, he also has a nomination for Best Screenplay.

Lu Chuan, who was complained by Jiang Wen last night, also arrived today. "Kekexili" was nominated for the best Asian film.

However, when he walked on the red carpet, the fans around him were very disgusted. On the contrary, the reporters looked very much looking forward to interviewing him.

However, Lu Tailang was also very naughty and hurried to the signature wall without giving them a chance to interview.

Chen Fei looked very happy.

Lu Tailang has been in big trouble these past two days!

He only got the news from the Internet after he and Jiang Wen went back after drinking last night.

At the end of March, the director of the documentary "Tibetan Antelope" filed a lawsuit against "Kekexili" and Lu Chuan in court, accusing him of plagiarism.

Dialogue, plot, concept, creativity, scene, scene atmosphere, visual background, shot composition...

A series of comparisons completely tore through Rikutaro's disguise and exposed his shameful plagiarism nakedly.

It's no wonder that he refused to be interviewed. If this matter is not handled well, it will definitely have a huge impact on his future directing career.

Chen Fei just had the attitude of watching a good show, and he would not participate in it.

But one thing needs to be emphasized. He is quite familiar with the director who made "Tibetan Antelope"...
