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

Chapter 217 Interesting guest stories, Gao Yuanyuan’s change of mentality, South Korean stickman’s visit... (please vote for me)

There are many celebrities and artists who are privately angry.

They believe that since Chen Fei can receive such a high endorsement fee, shouldn't his own endorsement fee also increase?

It's a pity that as soon as this sign appeared, the brand was severely criticized!

"Increase the endorsement fee? No problem! You first get a Golden Bear, then go abroad to make a few A-class films with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, then win a Golden Globe and an Oscar respectively, and then come back from Flying down from Tianmen Mountain in a wingsuit...

After doing all this, let alone increasing the endorsement fee, even giving you some shares in the company will not be a problem. "

As soon as these words came out, many celebrities and artists fell silent.

Damn it!

With so many conditions, if they complete even one of them, they can shine in the country.

If all of this is accomplished, wouldn't it be easy to advance to the top first-line level?

oh! correct! Almost forgot!

Chen Fei is now at the top level in the industry.

Directors, actors, screenwriters, producers, film and television company bosses...all are in full bloom!

…

Just when the Internet was making a fuss over the sky-high endorsement fees, Chen Fei had already arrived on the set of "Baby Project".

He had promised Chen Long a long time ago that he would come over and play a guest role when he had time.

Now that he had time, he simply took the time to rush over.

After the cameo in "Baby Project" ended, there was nothing important happening in China. He had to fly to Hollywood to film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

April is already halfway through, and May will soon be here. Every day of delay costs a lot of dollars!

…

After arriving at the set and greeting everyone, Chen Fei got the script that Chen Long had prepared for him long ago.

"You have to play a driver who drives a cash truck. He doesn't have many lines, but he stutters a bit. You have to show the feeling of stuttering..."

"no problem."

Chen Fei nodded and read the script intently.

There are not many lines, only a dozen or so. According to his memory, he can remember them at a glance.

But just as he was closing the script, a greeting voice suddenly came from beside him, "Hello, Director Chen, I am Wu Yanzu. It is a great honor to work with you on this scene."

"Hello."

Looking at the well-known Asian handsome guy who appeared in front of him, Chen Fei smiled and shook hands with him.

In terms of appearance, the two of them are naturally on par. They are both famously handsome in the industry, but their handsomeness is slightly different.

Wu Yanzu is older and has developed in the direction of "handsome uncle".

Because Chen Fei is younger, before he wore makeup, his handsomeness was closer to that of a "little wolf dog".

However, in terms of temperament and status in the industry, Chen Fei completely scorned Wu Yanzu.

The two of them are not on the same level at all.

In the next scene, the two will simultaneously play the role of security guards in the cash transport truck, competing against Chen Long and Gu Tianle.

After briefly checking the lines and dialogue to be spoken later, Chen Fei asked casually: "What are you busy with recently?"

Ng Yen-zu, "It's quite fate. After my directorial debut "The Four Kings" ended, Media Asia invited me to participate in the filming of "The Overheard"."

"Oh?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "Which movie is almost finished?"

After handing over the script to Zhuang Cheng, he stopped paying attention to the movie. The entire process was overseen by the producers sent by Tang and Su Guohai.

He has become a hands-off shopkeeper.

"It was finished the afternoon before yesterday."

"Oh? So fast?"

"Haha, Director Mak Chiu-fai is famous as a fast shooter in Hong Kong."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's heart moved slightly.

Now that "Overheard" has been completed and there was no trouble during the filming, this means that Media Asia still attaches great importance to the cooperation between the two parties.

So...should we continue to cooperate with them?

He has so many Hong Kong film scripts that he can't finish them with Emperor and Golden Harvest alone. He has to find other partners to consume them.

Looking at it now, Media Asia's sincerity is still very high, not much worse than Emperor's.

…

After chatting for a while, director Chen Musheng began to call people, indicating that they could come on stage and prepare to start filming.

Director Chen is also a director with very high qualifications and capabilities. "New Police Story" directed and filmed in 2004 broke the ten-year-old box office record for co-productions in the Mainland!

He and Chen Long are old acquaintances and have collaborated on several films with each other.

Although he is almost 50 years old, this man is a wonderful person.

After finally inviting Chen Fei and Wu Yanzu to guest star, he will definitely not just arrange an ordinary scene.

Even though the two of them only had less than two minutes of footage in the final film, he made up his mind to make this scene look great!

In order to give this cameo a good comedic effect, he came up with a bold idea.

"Integrate the hot word of the year "Brokeback Mountain" into the dialogue between the two."

After redesign, a brand new line is released!

During the filming, Wu Yanzu's identity was set as a sissy. Although he held a gun in his hand, he exuded a feminine temperament.

Finally, when Chen Fei asked "Where are you from?", he raised his orchid fingers, showed a charming smile on his face, and said "Brokeback Mountain" at the same time.

"Ka! Okay! Passed!"

Behind the monitor, Chen Musheng picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, which also meant that Chen Fei's guest appearance was officially over.

He touched the steering wheel reluctantly.

The racing scene in Qiu Mingshan last time is still vivid in my mind. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has been a long time since I had a serious racing scene.

Universal Pictures had informed him in advance that there would be a promotional event before Super 3 was released, and they wanted him to participate.

"Would you like to go play some time?"

Thinking about it, Chen Fei suddenly felt a little moved.

fast and Furious!

It feels so good for my old nose!

…

As soon as he opened the door and got out of the car, Chen Musheng, Chen Long, Gu Tianle, Xu Guanwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Cai Zhuoyan, Yuan Biao and others gathered around and greeted him.

Except for Gao Yuanyuan, most of the others are in the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island.

Compared to the mainland, people there have a much clearer understanding of Chen Fei's identity and status!

Emperor, Media Asia, Golden Harvest…

These three film companies have more or less certain relationships with him, which already explains a lot.

"Hello, Director Chen. Director Huo has specially told us to greet you respectfully when we meet you. You are a noble of our Emperor."

Cai Shuyan's words revealed too much information, and one sentence made many people at the scene change their expressions.

"Say hello to Director Huo for me."

Chen Fei responded calmly.

After a round of greetings, it was Gao Yuanyuan, the only mainland actor in the drama, who came last.

"Sister Yuanyuan, long time no see." Chen Fei took the initiative to say hello to her.

"Well... long time no see."

Gao Yuanyuan's expression was inexplicably complicated.

Who would have thought that the young man who looked ignorant when he played Song Qingshu would have such great achievements in just a few years!

"Do you know each other?" Chen Long looked at the two of them curiously.

Chen Fei laughed and joked casually, "The first TV series I debuted at that time was "Eternal Dragon Sword", in which I played Song Qingshu and had a relationship scene with Sister Yuanyuan.

She guided me a lot and gave me a lot of help at that time, but we rarely saw each other after that. "

Last year's "Green Red" made Gao Yuanyuan popular, and then she was spotted by Chen Long and became the heroine in "Baby Project".

Most people think that she is a representative of luck and hard work, but in fact there are many unknown things behind it...

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Fei. How she chooses to go is her own business, and outsiders have no right to interfere.

What she said just now can be regarded as repayment for the care she took for him in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

With these words, her filming in this crew will be smooth sailing.

"Chen Daoyan is too serious."

Gao Yuanyuan responded with a smile, a hint of complexity and gratitude flashed in her eyes.

If these words spread, her future journey will definitely be much easier.

In this vanity fair where asking for services and resources requires reciprocal payment, Chen Fei's approach can be regarded as a kind of selfless help to her.

…

After the cameo ended and the contact information of many people was added, Chen Fei left the crew of "Baby Project".

He originally planned to fly directly to Yunnan Province (YN) and then transfer to Hengdian to visit the crews of "Soldier Assault" and "Insidious" respectively.

But what he didn't expect was that before he was ready to leave, Su Guohai's phone call suddenly came in.

"Mr. Chen, there are people from South Korea, and they want to see you."

South Korea?

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking that he wanted to buy the movie rights, and casually replied: "Are you going to buy the rights? Let them find China Film."

"It's not about buying the copyright." Su Guohai explained: "The person here is from the film and television business department of CJ Group. They want to cooperate with you."

CJ?

After pondering for a while, Chen Fei quickly remembered.

This CJ should be the CJ Group, itself the largest food company in South Korea.

In 1995, CJ, Spielberg and others jointly formed DreamWorks, thus starting their film and television career.

While distributing movies produced by DreamWorks in South Korea and Southeast Asia, the company has also actively participated in the production of Korean movies, and has successfully released movies such as "Joint Alert Area JSA", "The Happyend", and "The Island", and has contributed to the development of Korean film and television. Made a contribution.

Moreover, through cooperation with Australia's Village Road Show Pictures, CJ also established Korea's first multiplex cinema - CGV.

In short, this is a film company that also has film and television, brokerage, distribution and other businesses in South Korea.

"But, how did they find their own company? Is it because...ShowBox?"

For a moment, Chen Fei couldn't help but have some thoughts.

Han Sanping specially greeted him before. ShowBox bought many movie rights, including "Buried Alive", "Crazy Stone", "Chinese Partner" and so on.

They just sold it there, and then CJ came to the door.

Could it be...

Chen Fei's heart moved, and many conjectures suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Ask them to wait for me. I'm on my way and will be back soon."

"good!"

Su Guohai responded.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the Koreans in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is on his way back to the company. You can wait a moment."

"good."

The leading middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the film and television industry, South Korea's various actions in recent years have demonstrated their determination, and the entire East Asia region is their focus.

Our own market is still too small, and although China's economy is lagging behind, it can't handle the big market. It is definitely a good choice to develop here.

The reason why he came to Feiyue Film and Television, as Chen Fei guessed, has a lot to do with ShowBox.

If China domestically regards the overseas release of films as an honor and political achievement, it is an opportunity to enhance the recovery and development of the domestic film and television industry.

Well, South Korea is obsessed with taking movies overseas!

They are eager to be recognized by the outside world, eager to go to the United States, eager to win Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, and even the three major European awards.

This desire even evolved into a state of extreme hysteria!

Their goal has always been to stand side by side with the United States, although this is difficult to achieve.

…

If the aesthetics of coal bosses are the highest in the country, then in South Korea, the term should be replaced by "chaebol."

When he met the people from CJ's team, Chen Fei's eyes were unconsciously attracted to the female assistants in the other team.

It is no exaggeration to say that the looks of these female assistants are no worse than those of later girl groups!

Chen Fei couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

No wonder there are always some messy incidents between men and women there. There are so many young and beautiful female assistants around them every day. It would be strange if they don't have some relationship!

"Mr. Chen, I have long admired your name, I am Pu Qihan."

"Oh? You speak Chinese?"

Chen Fei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in charge of CJ Company could speak Mandarin so well.

"I once had an exchange career and studied business management for two years at Peking University in the capital."

"Oh, I see."

After exchanging pleasantries, the group walked into the conference room.

After the guests of honor were seated, Pu Qihan did not talk about any random topics and directly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Mr. Chen, we at CJ are here this time for the scripts and movies you have in your hands. We want to cooperate with you with great sincerity."

Tsk, it’s true!

After confirming his suspicion, Chen Fei shrugged, "Sorry, you guys are a little late. All the movie rights in my hands have been bought by ShowBox, and there is nothing left."

"We know this."

Park Seo-han nodded and added: "We, CJ, are by far the largest film and television company in South Korea, including film production, actor management, promotion and distribution and other businesses.

When it comes to professionalism and market share, ShowBox is weaker than us. "

"Then what?"

Chen Fei looked at him curiously. After talking so much, he still didn't seem to get to the point.

"We hope that if there is an opportunity in the future, we can cooperate with you in Hollywood film investment. Whether it is money or effort, we at CJ will fully cooperate..."

What a great move to save the country!

Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh. South Korean movies have not been able to reach the international market in recent years. Are they planning to use their own strength to enjoy the feeling of being taken away?

"Sorry." Chen Fei refused without any hesitation: "You may not know, but I have many partners in China, and CJ can't be ranked among them."

As if he didn't expect Chen Fei to refuse so simply, Pu Qihan was stunned for a moment.

"We at CJ are never stingy when it comes to investment..."

Yo?

Are you planning to spend money on the market?

Chen Fei understood the meaning of his words, but still shook his head: "I can't break the rules."

As soon as these words came out, Pu Qihan's face suddenly darkened.

He understood what this meant. Just like the South Korean film market, the Chinese side was also very exclusive.

If Chen Fei has an investment share in Hollywood movies, he must first share it with domestic film and television companies, and only the leftovers can be distributed to others.

Unfortunately, there won't be any leftovers from this investment opportunity.

After a moment of silence, he forced himself to argue: "Then can Mr. Chen cooperate with CJ on the release of "Source Code"?"

"China Film Group is responsible for this."

"..."

Pu Qihan was choked up again with one sentence.

Because CJ has a large market share in South Korea, they are very aggressive in keeping prices down. This is why Han Sanping chooses to cooperate with ShowBox every time.

One and two movies were okay, but when the opportunity for cooperation came up, CJ suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "No Man's Land", "Buried Alive", "Chinese Partner"...

This series of high-quality videos has made ShowBox a lot of money in the past two years, and there is even a faint tendency to catch up with CJ.

If they don't do something, I'm afraid it won't be long before the leader's position will have to be replaced!

Therefore, Pu Qihan was ordered to fly directly to China to find Chen Fei.

But the negotiation didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. ShowBox moved too quickly and didn't even leave any scraps for CJ.

However, just when Pu Qihan was at a loss what to do, Chen Fei's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in South Korea. I happened to write a script recently, and Mr. Park happened to be here. How about you help me read it?"

"Oh?" Pu Qihan's eyes lit up, "I'm happy to help!"

Chen Fei didn't hesitate and handed him the script of "New World" directly.

There are many professionals in CJ's team. When Park Xihan took over the script, two middle-aged men wearing glasses joined in enthusiastically.

Seeing that the other party was looking seriously, Chen Fei crossed his legs and waited quietly.

It's quite interesting to say that although the economy of South Korea is controlled by major consortiums, the film and television industry can unscrupulously criticize their financial backer dad.

That's not all, even some of the dark sides of society, the evil deeds of consortiums, etc. can also be filmed in the form of film and television dramas.

This kind of behavior is equivalent to Wang Jinghua leading his artists to film a movie that satirizes the unfair behavior of the two Huayi brothers.

It would not be allowed at all in China, but no one cares in South Korea.

The consortium advocates humbly accepting it, but they refuse to repent!

The script "New World" tells the story of how a "white" person uses "black" management methods in a "black" environment, and finally becomes completely blackened step by step.

Looking around the world, this kind of movie can only be released in South Korea. Even Hollywood, which is known as the free America, has difficulty in releasing it.

After waiting for half an hour, the group of people on the opposite side finally raised their heads.

Looking at each other with the two screenwriters, Park Xihan closed the script, but did not return it to Chen Fei, but said bluntly:

"In this case, let's open up the sky and make it clear. This script is very good, and it is also particularly suitable for the South Korean film market. Why don't we start cooperation on this?"

Chen Fei looked at him with a smile, "Don't you need to listen to my request first?"

"Mr. Chen, please speak frankly."

"I will only produce the script, and CJ will be responsible for production, promotion, and distribution. I will account for 40% of the investment share."

Accounting for 40% of the investment share, this means that Chen Fei will also get 40% of the final box office revenue.

This is his way of cooperating with Lionsgate, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures and other companies, and for South Korean sticks, the requirements must not be worse than those of Hollywood film companies.

He is not a philanthropist. He sacrificed his life for these scripts, and he must get enough rewards.

What surprised Chen Fei a little was that Pu Qihan did not hesitate. After hearing his request, he nodded without hesitation.

"I am very happy to be able to fight alongside Director Chen. I believe our president will be very happy after hearing the news."

Before coming, Park Xihan had already investigated all information about Chen Fei, including the details of his cooperation with Hollywood, which were firmly in their hands.

Therefore, facing 40% of the investment share, he did not hesitate.

Hollywood has agreed, why can't CJ agree?

What's more, the purpose of coming here is to connect with Chen Fei, hoping that one day he can take the opportunity to participate in the production of a Hollywood movie.

Even if he has to pay some price for this, Pu Qihan is willing to do so.

Once the goals are agreed upon, the next steps will be much simpler.

The two parties signed a series of contracts for script cooperation. In order to avoid some force majeure factors in the cooperation, Chen Fei deliberately brought China Film Group into the project.

Even though she only received 10% of the investment, Han Sanping was still as happy as a sunflower.

After so many years of cooperation, it can be said that Chen Fei has never failed. As long as it is a script he writes or a movie he invests in, not one of them loses money.

This also made Han Sanping understand a fact.

As long as it's Chen Fei's invitation, there's no need to worry about the quality of the script. Just invest without thinking and be his biggest backer.

Therefore, it wasn't until Xijie's people were sent away that Han Sanping had time to look through the backup of the script.

Half an hour later, he raised his head with extremely complicated eyes.

"Sometimes, I really want to open your head and see how much knowledge is inside!"

A simple script actually allowed him to see the various entanglements between the consortium and "black" and "white", and there was a strong sense of reality between the lines!

This is not like a script at all, but like an autobiography!

"Haha, inexhaustible, inexhaustible."

Chen Fei had a smile on his face, and while answering Han Sanping's questions, he recalled what Pu Qihan said when he signed the contract with him.

"Mr. Chen, if you have the opportunity, you must come to our CJ as a guest. I will let you feel what the real entertainment industry is and what the real life of a consortium is."

Before leaving, Pu Qihan gave him a golden card.

There is only a series of numbers on the card, and other than that, there is no other obvious identification.

"When you arrive in South Korea, I will let you see the magic of this card. It represents enthusiasm, generosity, and unrestrainedness..."

Chen Fei had vaguely guessed the purpose of this card.

He is quite curious. He heard that the industry there is also quite prosperous, but he doesn't know whose quality is higher than that of Xiaoli?
