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

It was close to May, and when he landed in the capital, Chen Fei clearly felt that the publicity competition for summer movies was much stronger than last year.

"The Twilight Saga" and "Transformers 2" will be released in domestic theaters, but due to the domestic film protection system, the promotion of Hollywood movies is not very high.

But "Overheard 3" is different.

Sitting in the car, Chen Fei even heard a promotional slogan about the movie on the radio.

Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Wu Yanzu, Zhou Xun, Fang Zhongxin...

All the leading actors have their own slogans and promote them on the radio.

The first two parts of this movie both received huge box office results and high reputation, so many people are looking forward to the release of the third part.

Of course, Chen Fei's name as "screenwriter" is also one of the frequently mentioned ones.

Produced by Chen Fei! Must be a quality product!

These eight words have now spread throughout the mainland film and television circles, and there are even many people who support these remarks abroad.

The Emperor probably knew that Chen Fei was very busy recently, so they didn't ask him to help with publicity.

Of course, the most critical thing is that the investment in this film is too small, and Chen Fei can't arouse any interest in paying attention to it.

After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and called Zhou Xun.

"Sister Xun? What are you busy with?"

"Huh? Isn't this director Chen Oscar? Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

"Haha, I just heard on the radio that you were promoting "Overheard 3", so I called you to say hello."

"Hey, I thought you had some good roles for me to play."

Zhou Xun is famous for his straightforward character. The two of them joked with each other for a while, and she suddenly said mysteriously: "Chen Fei, guess what role I just got recently?"

Role?

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately guessed that the role Zhou Xun got recently was definitely related to her. Maybe it was a script written by herself, otherwise she would never ask this question.

According to her status, if she were to act in a TV series, she would definitely be the leading female lead.

Well, "Gong Suo Jade" has already cast Yang Mi as the female lead, while "Bu Bu Jing Xin" has cast Liu Shishi as the female lead. As for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", I heard that they are in contact Sun Li and Cai Shaofen.

From this point of view, it should not be a TV series.

As for the movie, combined with the experience she had just completed from "The Wind" and the fact that Kang Honglei was new to the film industry, she was in urgent need of veteran actors to stabilize the scene...

"Is it "The Great Cause of Party Building"?"

"Huh?! He is indeed a top director who can win the Golden Bear, Palme d'Or, and Oscar in succession. His mind is really bright! His guess is so accurate!"

Zhou Xun laughed and explained in detail: "What I got is a supporting role, which is regarded as a friendly guest appearance. You are the producer, so you have to accept my favor!"

"Hey? What? Didn't Lao Kang give you a salary?"

"Then I don't care. Anyway, you have to prepare a role for me. I won't choose. It can be either female or female. Even if it's a supporting role, it doesn't matter."

"Okay." Chen Fei smiled nonchalantly and said, "I just happened to prepare a road comedy. The female lead has not been decided yet. Can you give me a schedule and we can work together again in the second half of the year?"

Compared to the original version of Yuan Quan, he still prefers Zhou Xun. These sisters have a special spirituality when filming, which always makes people shine.

"Yeah? Is there really one? Is it "The Flower of the Heart"?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Then it's agreed!" Zhou Xun said excitedly: "It just so happens that my contract with Huayi is about to expire. I'm going to open my own artist studio, so I'll treat your movie as part of my studio." It’s a good start.”

"OK."

Chen Fei agreed with a smile. He didn't mind giving Zhou Xun a favor. In the future, he would have to rely on her to work hard when he went to Europe's three major awards.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the commercial vehicle drove to the door of a private restaurant.

This private restaurant is quite private. Fade Chen has been here many times before. It is very suitable for business discussions. The waiters in the restaurant are very talkative.

Arriving at the door of the box, Chen Fei raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The box door was quickly opened from the inside, and Jiang Herou's slightly haggard face appeared behind the door.

When she saw that the person coming was Chen Fei, she forced a smile on her face, and her heart was quite complicated for a moment!

The word "times have changed" is just right to describe the current situation between the two.

A few years ago, when she faced Chen Fei, she could call out "Xiao Chen" lightly, and she could even control her posture very high.

But now, when facing Chen Fei, she had to show a slightly respectful expression and said, "Director Chen, is this journey very tiring?"

"Fortunately, sorry for the long wait, Sister Hedrou."

Chen Fei did not hold his posture too high. He was still as usual, with a heart-warming smile on his face, just like when he met Jiang Herou a few years ago.

After the two declined, Chen Fei finally sat on the main seat.

There were only the two of them in the box, and there were no other guests. The two of them talked about interesting things when they first collaborated on "Wesley" and "Water Moon".

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Gurou may have been under too much pressure and finally lost her temper.

"The past few years have been a harsh winter for the TV drama industry!"

"Oh?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But I don't think Zhou Yi's handwriting seems very similar? He invested in three costume dramas in succession. This is not something that ordinary companies can handle."

"Oh, it's just a last-ditch fight."

Zhou Yi has been doing very poorly in the industry in the past few years. Not only is no one willing to invest in them, but they can't even get a good price when negotiating with TV stations. Now they are in a state of decline.

In comparison, the gap between them and the rising star "Tangren Film and Television" is simply getting wider and wider!

Now investing in three dramas at once seems very generous, but in fact it is just a last ditch effort.

Once it fails, it can be said that everything is lost!

The reason why they ended up in this situation, in Chen Fei's view, was entirely their own fault.

TV stations mainly buy dramas based on the reputation of the actors, and this is also the reason why popular actors in later generations can become popular.

There were people like Hu Ge and Liu Shishi on the Tang Dynasty, but on the other hand, there didn't seem to be any impressive actors on Zhou Yi's side.

There used to be a "Three Treasures of the Book of Changes", but it seems that it has not taken off in recent years, which directly led to the drama of the Book of Changes becoming more and more unpopular.

"So, what's the purpose of Sister Hedrou setting up this situation today?" Chen Fei chose to talk about this matter directly.

"I would like to invite Feiyue Film and Television to invest in Zhou Yi's new drama."

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Be a successor?"

"Uh..." Jiang Hunrou was stunned for a moment. She felt a bit incompatible with this word, but she felt that it seemed to fit the situation.

But before she could continue to say anything, Chen Fei suddenly said: "In business, if Sister Hurou is in trouble personally, then I can definitely help. But if it is investing in Zhouyi, this is obviously not a very good idea." Good choice.

Of course, if you are willing to sell Zhouyi, then I can definitely give you a number that satisfies you. "

For the company Zhouyi, Chen Fei has always been interested in their behind-the-scenes production team!

If Zhouyi can be acquired, the level of the behind-the-scenes production team of Feiyue Film and Television will definitely improve, and the development of film and television copyrights for various novels will be put on the agenda.

However...Jiang Hedrou would obviously not sell his years of hard work to others easily.

She frowned, shook her head and said, "Unless I'm desperate, I'm not planning to sell Zhou Yi. I just want you to give this old guy a hand."

Good guy, all the old feelings have been brought out.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly, but his heart was as firm as a rock, "I'm sorry, I really can't see Zhou Yi's future."

When it comes to business, it's rare that the deal can be concluded in one meeting.

Jiang Xingrou finally said goodbye to Chen Fei with full of sorrow. She had no intention of selling Zhou Yi, but a seed was planted in her heart.

As Chen Fei said, when it comes to the identity of "takeover man", Feiyue Film and Television is definitely the best, and the price it can offer must be the highest.

She still wanted to bet the last of her fortune on it.

If it succeeds, then today's conversation can be treated as if it never happened, but if it fails, she will have to find a suitable "takeover".

…

After coming out of the private restaurant, Chen Fei went straight back to the company.

He didn't have much time to stay in the mainland. While he still had some free time today, he had to meet other "wealth-spreading boys".

As soon as he sat down in the office, Su Guohai walked in.

Seeing that Chen Fei's expression showed no joy or worry at all, he suddenly couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked aloud: "Is Zhou Yi done?"

"No, but it should be almost done. All the signals that should be sent have been sent out. We just have to wait for them to receive them at a suitable time period."

"Okay, I understand."

Su Guohai did not continue to ask, but he had already secretly begun to prepare the next plan in his heart.

He knew Chen Fei's ability. Since the big boss said so, he must be sure of victory!

As the actual operator under his command, he had to consider how to maximize the benefits of this "acquisition"!

In the following time, the two made a summary of the recent filming progress and preparations for film and television dramas. The purpose of doing so was to help Chen Fei better arrange his next plan.

The time soon came to 11:30 in the morning, and the secretary opened the door and walked in, announcing that a guest had arrived.

"Haha, our No. 1 money-lending boy is here."

Chen Fei stood up with a smile, waved to Su Guohai, and motioned for him to follow him to greet the "wealth-spreading boy".

Arriving at the living room, Chen Fei immediately saw Jing Tian, ​​who was blooming quietly like a white lotus, and Lu Zheng, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa.

"Mr. Lu, long time no see."

As soon as Chen Fei entered the door, he stretched out his hand towards Lu Zheng. The smile on his face was genuine and not artificial at all.

This is a real rich man. In order to win a role for Jing Tian, ​​the conditions he offered are "inhumane!"

When preparations for "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Beautiful Heart" were announced, he called and wanted to get Jing Tian the leading female role.

After learning that there was no suitable role for Jing Tian in "The Road to Love", he was disappointed and turned his mind to "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The role of "Nie Xiaoqian" is really suitable for Jing Tian. No matter in terms of age, image, temperament, status, etc., it's like it was tailor-made for her!

So after much thought, Lu Zheng decided to use his "money power" in order to defeat other competitors.

His current condition is that Starlight can be responsible for all the production costs of the movie and only needs a 30% share of the box office revenue. The only condition is that Jing Tian be the female lead.

Chen Fei actually wanted to praise the newcomer of Feiyingwang Agency before, but in the end he still couldn't withstand the blow of "money ability".

Of course, another reason is that he has a good impression of Jing Tian. This girl is very polite, has a sweet mouth, and works hard.

He was quite willing to give this girl a chance, maybe he could break her curse of "not becoming popular".

"Is "The Legend of Sun Tzu" finished?"

Faced with Chen Fei's inquiry, Jing Tian nodded obediently, "Yeah, we just finished filming last month."

"So what do you think about filming costume dramas?"

Jing Tian was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Chen Fei to suddenly ask such a question.

For a moment, she felt inexplicably nervous, as if she had returned to the scenes when filming "2012" and "Mulan".

However, she now has more experience than before. After a moment of confusion, she replied: "I think the main thing is to use your own personal characteristics to avoid creating a stereotype effect."

"Hey, not bad, there is still some progress!"

Chen Fei chuckled and asked: "Since you want to play Nie Xiaoqian, you can't avoid the 1987 version of Wang Zuxian. If you compare her with her, what do you think your advantage is?"

"Well……"

Jing Tian couldn't tell her the answer this time, because after comparing her appearance, acting skills, temperament and other aspects, she found that Wang Zuxian absolutely abused her!

But just when she was frustrated, Chen Fei's words rekindled her confidence.

"Actually, you don't need to pay special attention to the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and you don't need to feel too much pressure. After all, you and Wang Zuxian are not the same person.

Although you two will inevitably be compared by fans after the movie is released, it does not mean that you will definitely lose to her.

Your temperament is your unique magic weapon. You have to bring out your own personal characteristics and create a different Nie Xiaoqian, instead of imitating or even replicating it with facial makeup. You have to let the fans see it in you. surprise……"

As if she had been enlightened by the two channels of Ren and Du, Jing Tian's eyes gradually showed a faint light, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to have grasped something.

Under Chen Fei's explanation, she gradually became filled with confidence!

Lu Zheng, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. He suddenly felt that the tens of millions he had spent were so worth it. Being able to have the Oscar-winning director personally design the character's image would pay for itself immediately!
