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

"I heard about it. There are two characters. Although there are no emotional scenes, judging from the cast, they should be the first female and the second male!"

Zeng Jia reported the news she had learned to Yang Mi with excitement on her face.

As soon as the co-production plan came out, the celebrities and young people in the industry started to take action.

Everyone is well aware of their requirements for co-productions.

First of all, there must be Chinese actors participating, and secondly, they must play important roles!

Although the last co-production film "The King of Kung Fu" did not have a good reputation, Huayi successfully pushed Li Bingbin into Hollywood's horizons. Last year, it also participated in the filming of "The Secret Fan in the Snow" produced by Warner Bros. , causing quite a bit of heat.

And now, the sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim" with an investment of US$160 million has been released. How can we not be excited?

"What are the audition requirements?" Yang Mi was ambitious.

"Far Cry" has been completed, and she has just been looking for a new movie recently, and the appearance of "Pacific Rim" seems to be tailor-made for her.

"It hasn't been sent out yet." Zeng Jia shook his head, his eyes complicated, "But I think you shouldn't have too much hope."

"Why?" Yang Mi was confused.

"Because such Hollywood blockbusters usually have to go through Liu Yifei's hands. There is no mainland actress who is more suitable than her."

"..."

Yang Mi fell silent instantly, and her self-confidence was torn to pieces!

Indeed, if Liu Yifei wants to act, no one in the mainland can compete with her.

When it comes to influence in Hollywood, even international chapters now rank behind her.

…

In the courtyard.

The script of "Pacific Rim" has already appeared in Liu Yifei's hands.

However, after reading it, she shook her head and showed a lack of interest.

"I don't want to act like this. It's stuffy and hot in a big metal suit, and there aren't many shots. Let's go shoot "Your Name." How about that?"

Liu Yifei is obviously more interested in that love drama.

She is also the first female lead there, and she is also a producer. She wears many hats. She even chooses the filming scenes herself. The relationship is so deep.

"It's up to you. If you don't want to act, let someone else do it." Chen Fei said while eating watermelon.

Originally, the female lead didn't have much of a shot, but it was the same for everyone.

What's more, if you go to the theater to watch this kind of science fiction blockbuster just to see mechas and monsters fighting each other, who is interested in seeing who your heroine is?

And there are no emotional scenes in the movie...

Since Liu Yifei doesn't want to act, let's replace her resources. There are still a lot of people waiting for support at Feiyinghuang's agency.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Chen Fei's eyes lit up.

Putting down the watermelon, he picked up the phone and made a call directly.

"Hello? Wu Jing, how is your training going in the military area?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Jing, who was eating with the recruits in the cafeteria, was still a little unresponsive when he received Chen Fei's call.

After being stunned for a moment, he replied: "We are still training. It will probably take until the end of the year. The preparations are quite complicated. We are planning to start filming next year."

"Then take two months to come out. There is a second male lead in "Pacific Rim". If you take the role, you can just create a wave of popularity for "Wolf Warrior"."

"okay!"

Wu Jing nodded subconsciously. It wasn't until the call was hung up that he reacted belatedly.

"'Pacific Rim'? That co-production with a US$160 million investment? Me playing the second male lead?"

He patted his head and suddenly had the illusion that he was dreaming?

Suddenly a pie fell from the sky!

Mecha, tough guy, punch to the flesh...

Chen Fei feels that Wu Jing is quite suitable for this role. Anyway, the talent will not go to outsiders, and he can also use this opportunity to increase the popularity of "Wolf Warrior", which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

Then, he turned his attention to Liu Yifei and asked, "How is your selection of actors going?"

"It's almost done! You will be the director and the male lead, I will be the female lead, Zhao Liying will be the younger sister, Teacher Wu Yanzhu will play my grandmother, Sister Zhu Zhu will play the female senior in the hotel..."

Liu Yifei knew all her treasures and told Chen Fei about her casting list.

"Okay, I'll call someone to start the filming at the end of April. The weather is just right now, and we can finish it at the end of June."

…

In the afternoon, Chen Fei went to Doanjian Digital and found Guo Fan who was busy working on the late stage of "Gravity".

"How's the progress?"

"Just over halfway."

Guo Fan rubbed his sore eyes, and his knowledge of science fiction blockbusters increased a lot.

It’s easy to shoot, but the post-production process is really complicated!

Especially for a movie like "Gravity" that relies solely on post-processing, it is really done second by second, without any flaws.

At least half of the investment of more than 600 million yuan was spent on special effects.

Chen Fei nodded, "Okay, you don't have to keep staring here. Let others do it first. I will form a team for you. You can lead them directly into the "Pacific Rim" crew and learn from them. Learn from Hollywood shooting experience.”

""Pacific Rim"? That co-production?" Guo Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Yes, there will be people from China Film, Wanda, and Shanghai Film Group accompanying us. You guys should help each other and learn as much as possible. This is a good opportunity not to be missed."

"Understood."

Guo Fan responded, and his fatigue instantly dissipated.

He was extremely glad that he had chosen to join Feiyue Film and Television. This decision was simply the best decision he had ever made in his life!

The first one was "The Adventures of Li Xianli", followed closely by "Gravity", and now there is another "Pacific Rim"...

This is chasing him to feed him!

Compared with "Gravity", the preparation for "Pacific Rim" is much more complicated.

Chinese element style mechas, domestic filming locations, props, personnel training... these all take a lot of time!

The earlier you decide on the candidate, the easier it will be to start the project earlier.

Many people called to ask for shares, and were even willing to purchase at a premium, but without exception, they were all rejected by Chen Fei.

He has no shortage of money now, so there is no need to spend this money.

Moreover, the cake has already been divided. If an outsider suddenly comes in, everyone will not feel comfortable.

"Mr. Chen, you just came to the company to see if any of these are worth investing in?"

Su Guohai went after the special effects department and gave Chen Fei a thick stack of scripts.

There are frustrated directors, arrogant screenwriters, and even people recommended by Nortel...

"Sixty million? Eighty million? One hundred million? Two hundred million?"

Looking at the investment amount marked at the end of each script, Chen Fei was immediately amused.

Do you really think he was taken advantage of? The asking prices are more severe than the others!

A literary film script actually dared to ask for an investment of 100 million. Those who didn't know it thought it was Chen Kexin's reincarnation.

"They all rejected it. None of them can read it. You can tell from the introduction that they are a bad bunch."

Chen Fei complained unceremoniously.

Even if it's recommended by Nortel, it's the same. If it doesn't work, it won't work. This is not a refugee shelter.

Guo Fan, Li Yang, Lu Yang, Yang Yu...

These people may seem like newcomers, but they are all capable and their professionalism is not bad at all.

But what are these things recommended by Nortel?

Some even directly put their father's name in the script.

how? Isn't it great to have a good father?

If you have the ability, ask your father to pay for your filming. What kind of investment would you make?

"good."

Su Guohai didn't hesitate at all. After nodding, he turned around and handed the script to his assistant, and said, "Send them all back."

After leaving the special effects department, Chen Fei took the elevator to the animation department.

He was going to come and see the progress of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

But I never thought that as soon as I walked in, I would see Yang Yufang cursing nonchalantly.

"You're an old man who still rides horses. It's like he has a tumor in his head. He doesn't move his head when he talks. If I mess with you, you'll just squirt..."

"What's going on here?"

Chen Fei looked curiously at Li Yang, who was walking towards him.

"Oh, it's not because of the promotional video." Li Yang shook his head helplessly.

The production of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is over halfway through. For the purpose of publicity, the team has intercepted some high-quality and exquisite clips and released them on major platforms.

There are already many animation fans outside the world who are waiting for this movie.

After seeing the promotional video, everyone immediately rushed to repost it, and it really became popular for a while.

But it was better not to publicize it, but when it was publicized, it actually attracted Teacher Six here!

Although "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is a 3D animation film based on "Journey to the West", it breaks away from the well-known context of the four masters and apprentices seeking scriptures from the west.

In the original work, the well-known Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, the Monkey King with vast supernatural powers and unparalleled power, but in "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King" he is different.

At this moment, Monkey King, the Monkey King, can no longer fly in the clouds, and his wrists are still handcuffed to seal the magic power. He is already an ordinary monkey without any divine power.

However, this setting was criticized by Teacher Six, saying that they did not respect the original work and wantonly slandered the image of Sun Wukong.

Not only that, he also called on fans to boycott this animated movie, preferably not to let it be released!

After such an operation, the production team was very angry.

However, the opponent is an old veteran in the industry, and it is difficult for them to fight back.

"Hey? Is this old man going crazy?"

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the previous preparations for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". At that time, Teacher Six also criticized Zhou Xingchi on the Internet, saying that Zhou Xingchi did not respect the original work and wantonly destroyed the classic...

It's a good thing now, Master Xing ignored him, and he came over to pester "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" again.

They are all seniors who have created classic images, but compared to Mr. You, this one is completely different!

Chen Fei walked over and patted Yang Yu on the shoulder, and advised: "Ignore him, just let him spray if he likes. You can just pretend you didn't see it and report it? If he has this ability, then Journey to the West The copyright has long belonged to him alone.”

"I just feel so angry. It's so annoying."

Yang Yu looked depressed. Because of Teacher Six, the filming progress had been greatly slowed down during this period.

They are all young people, who can bear this anger?

Seeing the expressions of indignation on the faces of the people around him, Chen Fei knew in his heart that if this tone didn't go down, the movie would definitely not be made well.

His thoughts moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"You're angry, aren't you? I have a good idea here. Do you want to hear it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked over.

Chen Fei, "I heard that there is also a Journey to the West movie started in Xiangjiang. It's called "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven." In it, the Monkey King seems to be in love with a nine-tailed fox. If we tell this news Tell Teacher Six, what do you think will happen?"

Friends who are dead Taoists are not dead Taoists, Xinghao Pictures, you just go to the front and bear the firepower!

"I'll go find the media right away." Li Yang reacted the fastest and instantly understood what Chen Fei meant.

If Teacher Six found out that Sun Wukong was in love, wouldn't he just blow it up?

Since you like to criticize so much, then go and criticize the companies and actors in Hong Kong and see if they will give you face.

As for us... let's just come and watch the fire from the other side!

After some comfort, the restless atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

Chen Fei took a rough look at the shooting progress and the finished film. The effect was very good, and even he couldn't find any major flaws.

After pointing out a few details, he left the animation department.

Judging from the current progress, this animated film may not be produced until the end of the year, and its release will not be until next year.

Chen Fei is not in a hurry. Only slow work can produce fine work.

As the first animated film after the animation department was established, it must be an instant hit!

…

On the 10th, "Warring States" held a grand premiere in the capital.

Invitations have been sent out in advance. Lu Zheng is very confident and has repeatedly stated in front of the media that this movie will earn at least 500 million at the domestic box office!

Because it was released simultaneously in China and North America, when interviewed by the media, he even stated that the first-day sales in North America would never be less than $10 million!

The awesomeness has already been blown out, and it was blown loudly.

As for whether this is actually the case, we can only wait and see it after it is released.

Box office results don't lie, and movie fans are not easy to fool. The answer will be revealed soon.

Chen Fei definitely couldn't escape, and the invitation letter was also sent to him. Lu Zheng Qian urged him to be there to support.

He must give this face.

You just have to think about it in advance and how you will answer it when you are interviewed by the media after watching the movie.

You can't just imitate Sun Honglei and say "It's too cruel", right?

Surprisingly, Liu Yifei also received the invitation letter, and Jing Tian personally asked someone to deliver it to her.

Ms. Liu did not refuse to go, especially after learning that Chen Fei would also go, she even expressed her intention to walk the red carpet with him.

"Jing Tian is also a good friend of mine. How can I not support a movie starring her when it comes out?"

This is the reason given by Liu Yifei, but Chen Fei always feels that something is strange...

The two of them got into the same car, the driver was driving in front, and they were chatting casually in the back.

The actor's dress is usually very simple, just a custom suit and leather shoes.

But actresses are different.

Haute couture dresses, luxury jewelry, bags, high heels, makeup...

As Dior’s global spokesperson, Liu Yifei’s makeup look today was matched by Dior’s makeup artist.

The jet-black hair went around the back from the crystal earlobes, and was then firmly fixed at the back by a shark clip.

A pair of sparkling earrings hang down on both sides of the cheeks, making the small face crystal clear, tender and smooth, making people have an inexplicable urge to go up and pinch it gently.

The white long-skirted tube top gown looked a little cumbersome, but the moment she got out of the car and stepped onto the red carpet, the gown stretched out instantly, not only highlighting her slender swan neck; The skin is as fair as jade!

Li Bingbin, who was walking in front, subconsciously quickened his pace.

Compared to Liu Yifei, who is extremely beautiful even if she wears a little makeup, she looks a bit sallow, and the thick foundation is extremely dazzling in comparison.

"Director Chen, Yifei, look here..."

The media, armed with long guns and short cannons, rushed over one after another, focusing their cameras on the two of them mercilessly, snapping and snapping.

Some media also took the opportunity to ask some questions that many people want to know.

"Yifei, will you play the female lead in "Pacific Rim"?"

This is the answer that many female celebrities in the industry want to know. If Liu Yifei is sure to star, then they don't need to find a relationship.

But if she doesn't appear, there will be many variables!

When faced with reporters' questions, Liu Yifei glanced at Chen Fei subconsciously. After making sure that he didn't give any hints, she smiled and shook her head.

"Won't."

"Why?" the reporter asked subconsciously.

The heroine of a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster!

So many people are thinking about fighting, but you actually say no? Could it be...

Just when many media at the scene were secretly poking at the wrong place, they heard Liu Yifei explain: "Because I don't have time, "Your Name", which I will produce and serve as the heroine, will be officially launched at the end of April. It just happened to coincide with the filming cycle of "Pacific Rim."

"Your Name" is about to be released?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Chen Fei.

"Yes, I will be the director and lead actor in this movie."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise at the scene!

The reporters obviously didn't expect that even though they came to attend the premiere of "Warring States" today, they actually received so much useful news!

Just when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei turned around and continued walking into the venue, the interview about the two people had been uploaded to the film and television information network.

"Breaking news, Liu Yifei will withdraw from the competition for the female lead in "Pacific Rim"."

"The romantic literary film "Your Name", which Liu Yifei participated in the production for the first time, will start shooting at the end of April, and will be directed by the director of the European Three-Gold Medal Grand Slam!"

"According to reports, the filming cycle of "Your Name" will overlap with that of "Pacific Rim," and it is suspected that both will start filming in May..."

There are constant hot news on the Internet, and the sudden news directly dominated the Weibo headlines.

Yang Mi, who is always paying attention to online news, suddenly brightened up after seeing this piece of news!

"Liu Yifei is not participating in the competition for the heroine of "Pacific Rim"? Doesn't that mean I have a chance?"

There are many people with the same purpose as her!

Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbin, Zhang Jingchu, Xu Jinglei, Shu Qi...

Several people began to secretly look for connections, but they didn't know who would end up with this role?

…
