Chapter 161: Late-Night Text Message From Liu's Mother, New Mission: Rush Through Akina Mountain!

On April 3, Universal Pictures and Chen Fei held a press conference.

In front of many media in the audience, Romulo and Jason made speeches respectively, announcing the cooperation news about "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift" and "Get Out".

"Universal Pictures has previously revealed that Super 3 will be directed by a new director from Asia. Today I officially announce that this director is Fei Chen from China!

He is a very good director. At the age of only 21, he already won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and was also nominated for the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor!

Universal Pictures will have a very in-depth cooperation with him. In addition to directing the filming, he will also serve as the second male lead, playing a handsome racing driver..."

The above is what Romulo said.

As soon as he sat down, many foreign reporters in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then they all aimed their cameras at Chen Fei and frantically pressed the shutter!

A Golden Bear Award-winning film director from China?

Directing "The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift"?

As the second male lead?

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter which piece of news is exposed, it will cause huge waves in Hollywood!

For a time, many foreign reporters became curious about Chen Fei.

Universal Pictures is really good at hiding it, releasing such a bombshell without making any noise.

Do you want to continue the glory of Speed ​​1 and Speed ​​2?

At the same time, the Chinese media at the back of the crowd all had their eyes widened and their mouths opened so wide they could almost put an ostrich egg in!

The reporter arranged by the "Sixth Princess" was looking at Chen Fei who was talking eloquently on the stage with a look of horror.

"Is it really Chen Fei who is riding a horse?"

Although it was not appropriate for an official reporter to say bad words, at this time, no one paid any attention to it.

The reporters from Sohu and NetEase looked at each other, took out glasses cloths from their pockets, and began to wipe their lenses.

After confirming that there was no dazzling, the two looked at each other, with a look of surprise on their faces!

"That horse riding is really Chen Fei!"

Seeing the excited expressions of the people around him, the Sina reporter curled his lips in disdain.

"Tch, is it necessary to be so excited? Director Chen is a Golden Bear Award winner. There are not even a hundred of them in the world. His international status is huge. He just filmed Fast 3. What's so strange about it? ?”

However, the moment he finished speaking, Jason suddenly stood up on the stage.

"There's another thing. In fact, in addition to being an excellent director and actor, Fei Chen is also a very good screenwriter. The film that won the Golden Bear Award was self-filmed, directed and directed by him. Self-acting.

When he came to Hollywood this time, in addition to being the director of Fast 3, he also brought a very excellent work.

Through negotiation, he will use the copyright and directing fees of "Get Out" as investment to cooperate with Universal Pictures.

In this cooperation, he will share 20% of the profits, and we look forward to friendly and win-win cooperation between the two of us..."

The moment the words fell, the entire press conference was silent.

The reporter from Sina was stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up and quickly pushed forward.

Several people around looked at his behavior curiously.

Someone shouted in confusion, "Li Xu, why are you going?"

"Are you stupid? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and grab the interview spot!"

As soon as these words came out, all the reporters from the country came to their senses.

"Made, you are such a thief. Didn't you just say that this was just a piece of news?"

Some people were gnashing their teeth and complaining, but the movements of their feet did not stop, and they kept pushing forward.

Directing Super 3, starring in the second male lead, cooperating with Universal Pictures on a new script...

Could this horse riding be small news?

This can completely plow the domestic film and television industry!

…

The press conference lasted for more than half an hour.

After the event, under Arnold's arrangement, a celebration dinner attended only by Universal Pictures' internal employees began.

Many high-level executives came to the dinner, including the male and female protagonists of Super 3, as well as an important supporting role.

They were all acquaintances whom they had seen in movies. Chen Fei chatted with them in a familiar manner and exchanged contact information with each other.

There were only seven days left for Chen Fei to familiarize himself with the script.

On April 10th, Super 3 will officially start filming.

During this period, in addition to familiarizing himself with the script, he also had to run in with these actors in the early stage.

There was no "sarcasm", "disdain" or "pretentiousness" at the party.

Even though Chen Fei doesn't look very old, his achievements force others to put him on an equal or even higher level.

Golden Bear Award-winning directors and scripts can be recognized by Universal Pictures, participate in investments and receive profit dividends...

No matter which one it is, it is enough to make many people awe!

…

The night in Los Angeles is dominated by feasting and feasting.

Just when Chen Fei and many senior executives of Universal Pictures, as well as the actors and behind-the-scenes staff of Super 3 were changing glasses, the country had just ushered in the sunrise moment.

The three major portals took the lead in releasing the news about Chen Fei in Hollywood.

For a time, the entire entertainment industry went completely crazy!

In recent days, although Chen Fei is not in the mainland, there is no news about him.

First, he went to Hong Kong to guest star in "SPL", and then won the Best Martial Arts Director of the Academy Awards. Later, there was news that he would cooperate with Emperor Entertainment Group, China Film Group, and Shanghai Film Group to shoot a movie.

Yang Shoucheng did not hide it. The day after the contract was signed, he revealed the news about "Ip Man" to the media.

For a time, many film and television agencies in the mainland were like cats that smelled fish, and they began to inquire about the information.

Many domestic media and reporters rushed to Hong Kong to get the first-hand information.

[Chen Fei's production must be a masterpiece]

These eight words have been verified by box office again and again!

However, when the media reporters rushed to Hong Kong, they found that Chen Fei had gone abroad.

After asking around, they found out that he had offended someone and hid abroad.

The scene of Li Tailong leading people to block Chen Fei and Zhen Zixuan that day was photographed by many people.

After paparazzi and newspapers quoted out of context, and a group of people spread rumors, the news about that day has long become another version.

At the Academy Awards ceremony, Chen Fei offended the Xiang family with his outrageous words, and was then stopped outside the hotel by the gangsters of the Sun Yee On.

Because of his good skills and the help of Zhen Zixuan, he escaped by luck, but he was scared and dared not stay in the country, and directly "fled" abroad.

This is the news circulating in Hong Kong.

Many people expressed disbelief, but because they could not see Chen Fei, the whole story could not be verified.

However, just when the news was getting more and more outrageous, new news about Chen Fei finally came back from abroad!

"Universal Pictures announced that the third installment of Fast and Furious will be directed by the emerging Chinese director Chen Fei, who will also play the second male lead."

"Hollywood's famous producer Jason announced that Universal Pictures will cooperate with Chen Fei on the new script and allocate investment."

"Bombshell! Chen Fei has multiple works registered with the Hollywood Writers Association!"

"The eight major Hollywood giants have responded and welcome the emerging Chinese director..."

"The 21-year-old Chen Fei has already rushed to Hollywood! He has become another Chinese director in Hollywood after Li An, Wu Yu and others!"

"Look forward to the emerging Chinese director creating more glory!"

...

Looking at the news that kept breaking out on the three major portals, everyone who was familiar with Chen Fei widened their eyes at the same time!

In the China Film Office, Han Sanping looked at the computer screen in confusion.

What's going on?

Didn't they say they were only going to discuss the shooting plan for Fast and Furious 3? Why is there another cooperation project?

And it's a cooperation with Universal Pictures! Enjoying a 20% share!

"How many good things does this guy have hidden?"

"Lost on Journey", "Ip Man", "Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift", "Get Out"...

For a moment, Han Sanping suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

He suddenly felt that Chen Fei seemed to be playing a very big game!

China, Hong Kong, Hollywood, it seems to have formed a closed loop?

The same doubts also appeared in the offices of many film and television agency bosses.

Shanghai Film, Bona, Guangguang, Huayi Brothers, Wanda, Tangren, New Picture...

For a moment, many domestic film and television agency bosses picked up the phone and began to arrange people to find out the inside story.

There are quite a lot of Chinese who have made their way into Hollywood as actors. Among them, the most famous male actors are Chen Long and Li Lianjie, and the most popular female actress should be Zhang Ziyi.

As for the directors, only Li An is currently developing very well.

Wu Yu, who was very popular in the past few years, has been "driven" back.

However, Chen Fei is still the first one to participate in Hollywood production as a director, actor, screenwriter, and producer at the same time!

This is a bit scary.

Let me ask you, who in the entire domestic film and television industry doesn't want to go to Hollywood?

Not to mention the actors, even the film and television companies, which one doesn't want to participate in Hollywood movies?

But they don't have the opportunity!

There are so many film and television companies in Hollywood, why should they give you a chance to be a Chinese film and television company?

Therefore, many film and television company bosses headed by Han Sanping can only drool at the huge cake, and can't get close to it at all.

But now, Chen Fei appears!

He ran to Hollywood alone, not only got the opportunity to direct and act in Fast and Furious 3, but also created a new script and reached a cooperation with Universal Pictures...

On this day, many people were red-eyed!

…

Beijing Film Academy.

When seeing the news from major portals, the whole school was boiling!

Especially the major QQ groups, a series of exclamations directly exploded the group.

The results of the 05-level art exam have come out, and Yang Mi is the first in the art exam of this year's undergraduate class of the Department of Performance.

On the day when the academic results were released, all the art exam candidates who passed the exam formed a group.

Yuan Shanshan held her computer and sent a message in the group with excitement.

"Mi Mi, aren't you familiar with Director Chen? I heard that he even said hello to you during the art exam. Don't you have his contact information?"

Hollywood!

That's the pilgrimage site that all actors yearn for!

Yang Mi raised her lips and was about to respond, but she changed her mind and quickly suppressed the desire to show off.

Chen Fei's status is rising steadily now. Even if she has a phone number, there is no reason to call him.

If she tells them that she has Director Chen's contact information, they will definitely ask for it!

But if they foolishly harass the big director, won't they be pitted?

Thinking of this, Yang Mi suddenly had a burst of acting skills, "Alas, such a big director, how could he exchange contact information with me?"

"Ah? Is that so?"

For a while, Zhang Xiaofei, Yuan Shanshan, and Jiao Junyan, who were in the same group, were full of regrets, secretly regretting why they didn't dare to ask Chen Fei for his contact information on the day of the art exam.

However, what no one knew was that in the gap between everyone's crazy discussions in the group, Yang Mi found Chen Fei's contact information and sent him a congratulatory text message.

…

The same scene also happened in the Shunyi Villa District in Kyoto.

Liu Xiaoli was looking at her daughter holding a cat in front of her seriously, and she was quite disappointed. "You didn't send a congratulatory text message to Chen Fei?"

Liu Yifei shook her head in confusion, "No? Why did you send it to him?"

"He just got the director qualification for Fast and Furious 3, and became the second male lead in it, and also reached a cooperation with Universal Pictures. Isn't it worth sending a congratulatory text message?

Aren't you classmates? And you often visit each other on set. You should call each other, or at least send a text message!"

Liu Xiaoli felt more and more uncomfortable. Her silly daughter didn't know how to use such a strong network. What should she do in the future?

"Didn't you tell me not to contact other male actors?"

"..." Liu Xiaoli suddenly got a little crazy, "Is Chen Fei an ordinary male actor? He is now an international director! If he is happy, the resources that come out from his fingernails will be enough for you to become famous all over the country."

"But I have to learn singing recently, it's really tiring, and I really don't want to contact others."

After the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was completed, under the planning of Liu's mother, Liu Yifei has not been planning to accept TV dramas in recent years.

A series of TV dramas have been popular, which has made her rush to the top of the TV drama industry. There is no need to continue filming.

So under the arrangement of Liu's mother, godfather, and agent, her next goal is movies!

But it is not so easy to enter the big screen. "May Love" and "Love Winner" used as a test were a mess, and did not stir up much waves at all.

So after another discussion, Liu's mother simply decided to let her enter the music scene first, take the route of singing and dancing, and overtake on the curve.

Didn't you see that Jay Chou has already started to make movies?

When he becomes popular in the music industry, he may have a chance to enter the film industry.

But now Chen Fei's appearance has given Liu Xiaoli hope. If she can build a good relationship with him, she may even be able to enter Hollywood, not to mention the mainland film industry!

But this silly girl didn't seize the opportunity!

Liu's mother was so angry that she even wanted to send Chen Fei a congratulatory message in person...

"Huh? Why can't I send it in person?"

Liu Xiaoli was suddenly startled. Wasn't she currently filming "Lost on Journey" invested and produced by Chen Fei? It shouldn't be too much to send a text message to the producer as an actor in the crew?

Thinking of this, she immediately started to act.

Since her daughter is not doing well, she can only let her mother do it.

...

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening after the banquet.

After rejecting several women who wanted to spend the night with him, Chen Fei returned to the hotel in a daze.

Considering that he has no fixed residence in Hollywood, Universal Pictures simply booked him an executive suite in a five-star hotel next to the company.

In the next period of time, he will live here and complete the filming of Fast and Furious 3.

Most of the actors also live in Los Angeles, which is convenient for him to contact and communicate.

After taking a shower and waking up a little, Chen Fei turned on his phone again.

Nearly a hundred missed calls, and about to reach more than 500 congratulatory text messages...

Looking at the self-introductions in those unfamiliar text messages, Chen Fei was secretly surprised: "Wow? My mobile phone number is almost an open secret in the entertainment industry, right?"

After selecting a few important caller IDs, Chen Fei returned them.

"Mr. Han, seven consecutive missed calls? You are really persistent!"

Han Sanping spoke very quickly, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, what's the situation?"

"Actually, it's nothing..."

Chen Fei sorted out the recent news a little and briefly told Han Sanping some inside stories that he could share.

"You mean, Universal Pictures has set its sights on the Chinese market? Do you want China Film to introduce Fast and Furious 3 to China?"

"Yes."

"I see. Let's wait until the movie is finished. If there are no major problems, I can facilitate this cooperation."

As he spoke, Han Sanping asked again, "Fast and Furious 3 is not important. I want to know what the situation is with Get Out. Do you still have the investment amount?"

"Yes."

Both parties are already so familiar with each other, and the conflict of interests between them and China Film has reached an inseparable point. Chen Fei simply did not play Tai Chi with Han Sanping and said directly:

"I have a 20% investment interest, which includes my director's fee and copyright fee. I decided to give you a 5% investment share. I wonder if China Film still has the quota for overseas investment this year?"

The reason for this decision is that Chen Fei still wants to increase his strength and confidence.

The lesson of Harry Potter is clearly in front of him.

Now everything is fine, but who knows if something will happen in the long run?

With China Film, a film and television company with the word "national" as the backing, even if Universal Pictures wants to do something in private, Chen Fei has the qualifications and confidence to argue with them.

How smart is Han Sanping?

He is a smart person like a Pixiu. When he heard that Chen Fei wanted to give up his share, he immediately figured out the key.

"Haha, you kid, you are so young, but you have a lot of ghost ideas."

Chen Fei smiled, "We can make money together. Cooperation can win together.

What's more, as long as we can open up the Hollywood market, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, and it is not a problem to use US dollars as firewood!"

"Hey, then I'm waiting for that day to come."

After a brief chat, the two hung up the phone.

Han Sanping is not the real leader of China Film Group after all. He can decide on some projects, but some can only be decided after a meeting.

This matter should be done as soon as possible, and he has to find someone to hold a meeting to announce this matter.

After thinking about the completeness of the plan, Chen Fei called Su Guohai again and arranged for him to notify the behind-the-scenes staff who were idle recently.

Except for those who were filming "Lost on Journey", everyone else booked a flight to Hollywood.

Such a good opportunity to make money, how can you miss it?

It is better to learn a little than to work behind closed doors.

After arranging the company's next plan, Chen Fei began to flip through the missed calls and text message notification bar again.

As he looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Aunt Liu?"

Liu Xiaoli?

Chen Fei looked at the text message sent by the other party:

[Xiao Fei, I heard that you have reached a cooperation with Universal Pictures? With such achievements at such a young age, your future achievements will be limitless. Auntie congratulates you here. Xixi just came home from the filming of the Condor Heroes crew recently. She is quiet and not good at socializing. She often talks about you good friends at home. I look forward to meeting you next time. You can chat with each other if you have the chance...】

He wrote hundreds of words, which felt like a short essay.

There was only one meaning behind his words.

Liu Yifei is idle, and if there is a good filming opportunity, he must take care of her.

Chen Fei grinned, thought about it, and replied with a text message:

"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely go to Yifei to get together when I have time. How is your health recently? Is the filming going smoothly? If there is anything you are not used to, you can tell me, and I will let Director Ning help you adjust."

…

After replying to Liu's mother and sending a few messages and phone calls to Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others, Chen Fei closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness in the system.

The new challenge task has been released, and preparations must be made.
