Chapter 879 "Pure Heart Chasing the Dream of the Entertainment Industry", Ten Years of Hard Work? ? ?

Chapter 87: Chasing the Dream of the Entertainment Circle, Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword? ? ?

In the afternoon, in the chairman's office of Huayi Group.

Wang Zhongjun looked very unhappy when he saw the news reported online about Chen Fei warning Huayi not to continue to use despicable means.

It had been half a month, and they had finally suppressed the hot searches on the Internet.

But now, after Chen Fei's remarks, various debates have been triggered on the Internet again!

At first, when they faced Wanda, they could still rely on "sophistry" remarks and work with the media to control the direction of public opinion in their favor.

The phrase "people go to higher places" directly suppressed all kinds of accusations and rebukes from Wanda.

But Chen Fei's entry was something they never expected!

When he revealed to the public that Huayi had also hired headhunters to poach employees from Feiyue Film and Television, it meant that Huayi's behavior was purely "evil"!

The successive attacks on two companies in the industry can no longer be described as normal personnel changes, but vicious commercial competition!

The direction of public opinion changed instantly, and the "great" image that Huayi had created with great difficulty collapsed into ruins.

Looking around, there are many people cursing, mocking, and slandering them online, which is very unfavorable for a listed company.

"What does this have to do with him? It's pure slander. When did we go to headhunters in large numbers to harass his company's employees? He has to pay the price and legal responsibility for his words..."

Wang Zhonglei was so angry that he had already started to run away in the office.

When he came back from outside the company just now, he was blocked by the media. The questions thrown at him were sharper than one another, and they hit him directly in the heart!

Wang Zhongjun was not as angry as he was, and he remained calm: "Are there many reporters downstairs?"

"Yes, a lot. There will be a steady stream of media coming from all directions. Chen Fei's interview at the airport has seriously affected the reputation of our company..."

Wang Zhonglei was about to call the lawyer team and fiercely shouted that he would go to court to sue Chen Fei.

However, Wang Zhongjun stopped him in time: "Don't waste your energy, it's useless."

"What should we do now? Just let him slander? The company's reputation has been affected, and the stock price has even begun to fluctuate..."

"Try your best to find a way to suppress this topic, and remember not to provoke a bigger conflict..."

Wang Zhongjun's face was gloomy, and the words were almost squeezed out from his teeth.

He was also very angry and annoyed, but he knew that now was definitely not a good time to offend Chen Fei.

Wanda's covetous eyes had already made him nervous. If he confronted Feiyue Film and Television again, it would be equivalent to directly offending the two major domestic theater chains.

He didn't dare to bet on whether the two companies would unite to trip him up.

If it really came to this, Huayi would be in big trouble!

Listening to his brother's words, Wang Zhonglei felt very aggrieved, but he had to choose to control his anger.

If they only faced Wanda, they would still have confidence, but if Feiyue Film and Television were added, the uncertainty would be too great!

"I'll do it now, and send those reporters and paparazzi away first."

"Well, go ahead, suppress your anger, wait until we finish wrestling with Wanda first, and then we can deal with him. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

...

The night deepened, and the desire was aroused!

After more than two hours of tossing, the two sides finally stopped fighting and prepared to fight again on another day.

Liu Yifei's cheeks were flushed, and she lay quietly in Chen Fei's arms, enjoying this rare warm moment.

"Do you want to take a break before starting the filming of La La Land?"

"Yeah, it's definitely not possible to start filming in a short time." Chen Fei explained briefly: "I have to attend the wrap-up report meeting of Operation Red Sea tomorrow, and then I have to go to the company to sort out the materials and deal with other accumulated matters.

April, how about we officially start filming in early April?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Then take the time to give me the list of actors, and I'll find a time to check it first, let them get familiar with the script first."

"Yeah, okay."

The business was finished in a few words, and the atmosphere of a long-parted marriage began to spread. This night was destined not to be too peaceful.

~

The next morning, Chen Fei was invited by the Navy and went to the Navy Art Center after getting up early in the morning.

Unlike other commercial films, this kind of main theme commercial film usually needs to be reported because of the need for "political achievements".

After working on the two films "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Operation Mekong", Chen Fei was already familiar with this kind of report.

Most of these meetings were for leaders to speak, and the people below just listened.

And what he, as a director, needed to do was to talk about the process and details of the filming after the leader's speech, and how to reflect the "power" of the navy in the whole movie, that's all.

However, what he didn't know was that at this time, the Film Bureau was also holding a meeting very similar to that of the Navy.

In the huge conference hall, many leaders of the Film Bureau were sitting around.

Looking around, Tong Gang, Zhang Hong, La Peikang, and the people from the review department were all sitting on the left and right sides of the conference table.

If it was an internal meeting of the bureau, the person sitting in the main seat should be the leader of the Film Bureau.

But today is different.

Both Tong Gang and Zhang Hong are sitting below and listening to the speeches of "leaders" from other departments.

"The success and influence of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Operation Mekong" undoubtedly prove that mainstream theme movies are very beneficial to military and political propaganda.

The Navy launched "Operation Red Sea", which once again received great attention from the outside world, and further confirmed the effect of propaganda.

Therefore, our Air Force was also inspired and prepared to launch a mainstream theme movie with the Air Force as the protagonist..."

Listening to the leader's words, Tong Gang and Zhang Hong looked at each other and had a thought in their hearts that "as expected".

In fact, they had already guessed that after the Army, Public Security, and Navy, the Air Force would definitely not just watch quietly.

As expected, people came here as soon as "Operation Red Sea" was announced to be completed.

"Then how do we need to cooperate? Find a director? Find a screenwriter? Find a production team? Or..."

Tong Gang has decided to bring out his favorite general.

The success of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Operation Mekong" has proved Chen Fei's talent in mainstream commercial films.

As long as he is asked to write the script and direct it, it will definitely be good!

However, just as he was thinking about how to tell Chen Fei about this, he heard the leader of the Air Force Political Department say: "The Film Bureau only needs to cooperate with publicity and some review issues.

As for the script, director, and production team, we already have suitable candidates, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Huh?!"

Tong Gang was shocked, and his eyes widened, with a hint of doubt on his face.

The Air Force Political Department actually found the script, director, and production team by itself? This situation was really beyond his expectations.

You know, mainstream commercial films are not so easy to shoot. Chen Fei had previously publicly shared a lot of experience, but it still made a group of leaders confused and confused.

Even Zhang Yimou has publicly said that he is not as good as Chen Fei in the field of mainstream movies and it is difficult for him to get started.

But now, the Air Force Political Department actually said that it has found a suitable candidate...

In an instant, the three words "backdoor" suddenly surged into everyone's mind.

"I don't know which child of the compound is this? With such a big show, don't cry and ask the elders to come out to cover the bottom in the end."

Tong Gang muttered to himself, but he said another set of words: "Don't worry, leader, the bureau will definitely cooperate with us."

"That's good, I came here today to say hello to you first. Try not to spread this project first. When it is almost ready, we will arrange someone to announce it to the public."

"Okay."

Tong Gang responded softly, and couldn't help but be more curious about the relative.

The meaning of the military and political affairs is very clear. The bureau just needs to cooperate, and you don't have to be responsible for anything else.     There is another meaning in this sentence, that is: this opportunity to "become famous", we have other people to use it!

Everyone cooperated very well and there were no objections.

Only La Peikang, who came to attend the meeting, could not hide his excitement and excitement, because he suddenly found that China Film could get involved in this project again, which was a political achievement!

He thought to himself: "China Film only got 5% of the share of "Operation Red Sea", which is almost negligible, but there are many places for the Air Force Political Department to operate this project. This time I must get enough shares!"

...

In the afternoon, after leaving the Navy Political Department, Chen Fei went straight to the company.

During the period when he was filming "Operation Red Sea", the company confirmed several new film projects, and now they are waiting for him to sign.

Without his approval, these projects have to wait one by one, and there is no qualification to start the project.

The Mercedes-Benz business car sped all the way and soon arrived downstairs of the company.

Pushing open the car door, Chen Fei saw several paparazzi and reporters squatting near the company at a glance.

Seeing a group of people looking at him with great interest, he frowned slightly and ignored them, but walked quickly towards the company's door.

However, as soon as he entered the company, he saw Ning Hao and Lu Yang walking out in a hurry.

"What are you two going to do in such a hurry?"

"Ouch, you scared me!" Ning Hao raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that the person asking the question was Chen Fei, he stopped immediately.

Lu Yang beside him also stopped and greeted him: "Director Chen."

Ning Hao briefly explained why he was in such a hurry just now: "We are going back to Beijing Film Academy now."

"Back to Beijing Film Academy?" Chen Fei was a little confused: "Why? Is the school going to hold another event?"

"Ah." Lu Yang beside him sighed and took over the topic: "I heard that a director came out of the performing arts school, and he also made a great movie. A film screening will be held at the school now.

It just so happens that we are both in the capital, and they called us and wanted to invite us to go back to participate in this event, to show our support, and to give suggestions."

"A great director came out of the performing arts school?"

Chen Fei was a little confused. How come he had never heard of another great director besides himself in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy?

Ning Hao continued: "This guy is quite awesome. He graduated from the acting school with a bachelor's degree and a graduate school. Later, he was admitted to Peking University and studied for a doctorate in film and television. He is only 37 years old this year. He is definitely a top student."

Hearing all these academic titles, Chen Fei immediately remembered who it was.

"Is that Bi Zhifei? You're not going to attend the movie "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry" that premiered at the San Francisco Global International Film Festival last year, are you?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's him!"

Lu Yang looked expectant: "I heard that Bi Zhifei spent 10 years to make this movie. The script was revised and polished more than 30 times. He spent a year selecting actors and training them. The editing took 10 months. He was meticulously crafted. He took out the attitude and patience of "grinding an iron rod into a needle" and "scratched" out a movie second by second..."

Listening to Lu Yang's serious description, Chen Fei forced himself to hold back his laughter, fearing that he would burst out laughing on the spot.

"Ahem, you two hurry up, and remember to tell me what kind of "masterpiece" this doctor of film and television has made after you finish watching it!"

"Okay, then we'll go first."

Time was urgent, Ning Hao and Lu Yang didn't talk much with Chen Fei, and went out together and headed straight for Beijing Film Academy.

It was not until he got on the elevator that Chen Fei finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Hahaha, ten years to sharpen a sword? Grind an iron rod into a needle? Aren't you afraid of laughing your head off?"

...

In the afternoon, just as Chen Fei was immersed in his new job, Huang Xiaoming on the other side also began to look for his next new play.

He felt very honored to be able to participate in the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

Because Chen Fei told them privately that "Operation Red Sea" was used to benchmark "Operation Mekong", and the box office would definitely not be less than 3 billion!

When he thought that he could also have a representative movie with a box office of 3 billion, he could not hide his excitement and excitement.

And unlike other people's celebration methods, he thought about "rewarding" himself when he was happy.

So, after a day of rest, Huang Xiaoming took Yang Ying straight to Huace Films.

After these years of investment and development, he has already established a very deep friendship with Huace Films.

What the outside world does not know is that he is actually one of the shareholders of Huace Films, and this is why he can frequently get resources from Huace.

When he arrived at the company, he went straight to the production department.

The vice president in charge of production business was already an old acquaintance of Huang Xiaoming. As soon as they met, he smiled and joked: "Hey? You two are here so fast!"

"Haha, of course, after all, I can't just stay at home and wait for the script to arrive, right?"

Huang Xiaoming sat down on the chair calmly, as if he was back home.

"Haha, your attitude is quite correct."

While joking, the vice president of Huace's production department opened the safe and took out a script from it.

Huang Xiaoming reached out to take it and began to read it without hesitation.

Yang Ying, who was standing next to him, also leaned over and read it curiously.

Seeing this, the vice president began to introduce the basic situation of the TV series script to the couple in front of him:

"The script is adapted from Tong Hua's popular novel IP "Once Promised", which tells the heart-wrenching and beautiful love story of 'Mu Qingmo', who was born in a famous family in ancient times, and 'Chi Yun', who was extremely talented..."

Huang Xiaoming listened to the introduction while flipping through the script.

His eyes jumped on the script, as if he had been deeply attracted by the plot and characters in it.

However, at this time, Yang Ying frowned slightly and said: "Tong Hua? She is the author of "The Legend of the Desert" and "The Song in the Clouds", right? The TV series adapted from her previous two novels did not have a good reputation..."

As the heroine of "The Song in the Clouds of the Great Han Dynasty", Yang Ying can be said to have suffered deeply!

She was almost scolded by netizens and viewers because of this TV series to autism, so she couldn't help but have some doubts about "Tong Hua's" new work.

Huang Xiaoming also raised his head at this time, with a bit of suspicion on his face.

"Don't worry." Huace's vice president explained with a smile: "'Once Promised' is not a historical theme, but a classical mythology theme full of creativity and imagination. It will never happen like 'Fairy in the Wind' and 'The Legend of the Han Dynasty'."

Hearing this, the two of them felt relieved.

After spending half an hour reading the script, Huang Xiaoming nodded with satisfaction.

"I like the role of 'Chiyun' very much. He is the ancient god of war in Ruojiang. He has lived in the mountains since he was a child and can command all beasts...so domineering!"

Yang Ying, who was standing aside, couldn't wait to ask: "The role of Mu Qingmo is also quite good. Can I play it?"

Hearing this, the vice president of the production department sitting opposite the two shook his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, the heroine has already been decided. It was decided by President Zhao himself."

"Is that so? Well, then." Although Yang Ying felt a little regretful, she didn't say much.

Since the female lead was chosen by the CEO of Huace himself, she must have gotten in through connections, so no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless.

But at this moment, the vice president of the production department said again: "Although there is no chance for this project, there are other ones. If you are interested, you can try another new TV series project that has been recently confirmed but not officially announced."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying looked over and said in unison: "What new project?"

"It is also an adaptation of a popular IP novel, called "The Lonely Woman", which tells the story of how Chu Beijie, the King of Zhenbei in Jin, and Bai Pingting, the "female Zhuge" of Yan, attracted each other in the chaotic world of frequent wars and unpredictable separations, and went through countless storms together, thus starting a love story."

Yang Ying became interested as soon as she heard it: "This is good! When will the audition start? I want to try it."

"Look at you, what are you in a hurry for?" Huang Xiaoming smiled and said: "It's getting late, Mr. Liu, please give me a favor and go to dinner together, how about it?"

You know, some things are much more successful when they are discussed at the wine table than in the office!
