Chapter 621: Fallen in a Trap! Fallen in a Poisoning Trap! Cut Off the Firewood From Under the Cauldron! The Drinking Party Rescued

Chapter 621: Fallen in a trap! Fallen in a poison trap! Remove the firewood from the cauldron! Rescue at the cocktail party...

After the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Chen Fei did not stay in the venue for long.

He no longer needs those low-quality social events. If he has that time, he might as well go back to the hotel to study the storyboards of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

As for the screening of "The Burning Sun" and other related matters, there are people to help him deal with it after returning to China.

He only needs to show up at the domestic premiere of the film.

As the night deepened, looking at the character profile of "Zuoshan Diao" in his pen, Chen Fei's thoughts slowly spread out.

As a mountain king who has been entrenched for decades, Zuoshan Diao has many subordinates and has survived the three periods of the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang period, and the puppet Manchukuo.

Although such a person is described as a bandit leader in the original book, he can actually be called a local emperor!

It is normal for him to declare himself emperor.

To play the kind of superior aura of "Zuoshan Diao", you can't just find someone to perform it casually.

But Han Sanping is different!

For many years, he has been in a high position and held great power, so he naturally has the oppression and aura of a superior.

In addition, he is a director and his acting skills are also very good. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was born for this role!

The more Chen Fei thought about it, the more he strengthened his inner belief.

In any case, he must be pulled in. The role of "Zuoshan Diao" must belong to Han Sanping!

...

Time quickly came to the morning of the second day after the opening ceremony of the Magic City International Film Festival.

When many films shortlisted for the main competition unit were preparing for the premiere screening, Feiyue Film and Television suddenly issued a new notice.

"Script: "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has been reviewed and will officially enter the preparation period."

Along with the release of this notice, there are some specific personnel structures about the film below.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"

Director: Chen Fei, Han Jianu

Screenwriter: Chen Fei

Actors: tentative

Producer: tentative

In the current Internet era, the speed of media dissemination naturally needs no further description.

In less than half an hour, everyone in the circle knew the news of Chen Fei's new movie.

The entire film industry cast its eyes, and the discussion was endless!

Although it is not clear whether the new work of the Golden Palm director is a commercial film or an art film, it is not important. The most important thing is whether you can get the role!

And when seeing that the actors and producers are all shown as tentative, all the actors and production companies in the circle were instantly excited!

You know, in the previous movies directed by Chen Fei, when the news of the film was announced, the actors and producers were usually determined.

And this kind of "tentative" situation seems to be the first time!

As expected, Chen Fei's phone was directly blown up.

Because as soon as the news was received, a large number of brokerage companies, star studios, actors, artists, etc. in the film and television industry all turned their attention to this side.

Even if he can't get the leading role, he can get the supporting role. No one can resist the temptation of the four words "directed by Chen Fei".

It is precisely because of this that after talking to Ren Zhonglun on the phone, Chen Fei did not hesitate at all and directly pressed the power off button.

Other things are actually not important. The most important thing now is Han Sanping's attitude.

As long as he can be pulled to play "Zuoshan Diao", the rest are trivial matters.

...

At the same time, in the office of the China Film Office in Shanghai, Han Sanping was frowning and angry!

He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing as "the tea is cold before the people leave".

After coming to Shanghai, he should be the kind of guest of honor, and even have a certain say in the selection of other awards except the main competition unit awards.

But he never thought that he was set up!

In the selection of the Film Channel Media Awards, several movies he initially favored were eliminated and replaced by a bunch of youth films and idol films without nutrition by the organizers.

The old guys from the organizers didn't even give him a bit of face.

Some even said behind his back: "Since you are about to retire, just hand over the work quietly and don't show off your presence here."

This sentence directly made Han Sanping laugh.

In order to apply for subsidies, the old guys used all kinds of means!

Han Sanping couldn't stand it at the time, so he ruthlessly suppressed a batch of scripts that were obviously taken to make up the numbers and make money.

It was precisely because of this that he was hated by this group of people.

Look, this group of guys gave him a warning at the Magic City Film Festival and embarrassed him in public.

Their idea is very simple. Since you are about to retire, we don't need to curry favor with you in the future. Naturally, we will avenge our grievances and revenge our enemies.

They are very sure that Han Sanping will be targeted by his former opponents after he is laid off, and this is also the scene they want to see very much.

Without the black hat on his head, who would respect him?

"Oh, interesting, really interesting, are you sure that I will never make any waves again after I retire?"

Han Sanping snorted coldly, he was ready to show these people what it meant to say that a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly fell on the script of "One Hundred Regiments" lying on the table.

Even if he loses his position as chairman of China Film Group Corporation, don't forget that he is still one of the top directors in the industry.

As a director, he is better than those old people who have never eaten before!

"Dong dong dong!"

A sudden knock on the door brought Han Sanping back from her wandering mind.

He shouted casually: "Come in."

The next second, the office door was pushed open, and Han Jianu ran in jumping, with a happy expression on her face.

Seeing her eldest daughter, Han Sanping suddenly smiled on her face.

He was very fond of this girl when he got a daughter at an old age. For the sake of her future, he even used his connections to arrange for her to enter the director department of Nortel and became Tian Zangzhuang's "closed disciple".

But what made him feel helpless was that this girl didn't seem to be very interested in the career of directing. She went to the literature department as soon as she stopped classes, focusing on being a rebel!

Han Sanping talked to her several times, but in the end it was still to no avail.

In desperation, he had no choice but to let go.

I'm getting older and will retire soon. As long as my daughter is happy, she doesn't have to worry about food and drink anyway, so it's useless to think about it so much.

"So happy? Why? Won a lottery ticket?"

Han Sanping joked happily, feeling full of emotion in her heart.

He was still small when he was first born, but now he has grown so big in the blink of an eye. Who knows who will be advantaged in the future?

"It's almost the same as winning the lottery." Han Jianu smiled and handed the newspaper in her hand to Han Sanping: "Dad, look at this news."

Han Sanping reached out to take it, and when she lowered her eyes, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was officially approved and preparations started. In addition to Chen Fei, the name of my eldest daughter also appeared in the director's column!

"What's going on? How did you become one of the directors of this movie?"

"It's the assistant director." Han Jia'v smiled brightly: "I met Brother Chen Fei at the red carpet waiting area yesterday. He said that other directors in the company are very busy at the moment and need the help of an assistant director.

I happened to be very free recently, so I agreed to help him.

Master Chen Fei is a very nice person. He said he would take me with him from the beginning of casting to the completion of the movie. He also said he would guide me step by step..."

Hearing what his silly daughter said, Han Sanping couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You've fallen into a trap! You've fallen into a poisoning trap! This is pulling the plug on you!"

First it was a sincere investment share, then a new script to solve his worries, and finally he played a family card.

When the three-blade ax was cut down like this, no matter how "hard-hearted" Han Sanping was, she couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment.

Speaking of which, since his daughter entered this industry, her first project was a large-investment commercial fantasy blockbuster like "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp".

At that time, she was working with Ning Hao, the Golden Bear director.

And now, Chen Fei pulled her to his side again, obviously with the intention of cultivating her.

Although there is some "utilitarianism" and "purposefulness" in this, these actions are actually done without any perfunctory meaning.

"If you think about it carefully, this guy is pretty good."

Han Sanping was not the kind of indecisive person and made a decision quickly in her mind.

He first waved his hand towards his silly daughter and warned: "Since he chose you to be the assistant director, then study hard and be serious. I don't expect anything, as long as you can learn three of his essence, Guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life!”

"Yeah, I understand." Han Jianu nodded seriously, but she was thinking secretly in her heart: "Director Chen can write so many scripts, so his screenwriting skills must be terrible. You can ask him for advice then. ,hey-hey."

After the silly girl left, Han Sanping called Chen Fei directly.

"You guys are really doing everything you can! For a role, you actually brought my daughter into the scene?"

"Haha." Chen Fei immediately laughed and said: "How about it, am I sincere enough?"

Han Sanping did not deny it, but asked: "Are you so sure? I will definitely be able to play this role well?"

"Of course!" Chen Fei blurted out: "The character of 'Mountain Eagle' must have the momentum and pressure of having been in a high position for a long time, as well as an insidious and cunning character. He has a sinister face, is cautious and suspicious, and is ruthless..."

As he spoke, Chen Fei suddenly felt a chill in his ears and hurriedly changed his words:

"Let me ask you, who among the actors in the industry can have the momentum of being in a high position for a long time like you? After all, you are the helmsman of the industry. Your control of details such as strategizing and meticulous thinking must be far beyond ordinary people. I believe you will definitely give the audience a Huge surprise!”

"Okay, okay, that's it. I promised you, but we have to agree first. If the box office doesn't exceed one billion, don't blame me for falling out with you!"

Chen Fei was overjoyed and quickly assured him: "Don't worry, I'm a manly man, and what I say is absolutely reliable."

Han Sanping has already read the script of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" in advance. After confirming that she will play the role of Mountain Eagle, she can't help but be a little curious about other roles.

"As for the roles of Yang Zirong and Shao Jianbo, have you decided who will play them?"

Chen Fei rolled his eyes and suggested tentatively: "I will play the role of Shao Jianbo. As for the male lead Yang Zirong, do you think it is appropriate for Jiang Wen to play the role?"

"Hey?!"

Hearing this, Han Sanping immediately became interested: "This lineup is good! I think it's okay!"

Chen Fei suddenly sighed: "Alas, I don't know if Director Jiang has time. I heard that his "One Step Away" is about to start filming."

"Hey, he's not starting a shit." Han Sanping complained mercilessly: "He has too many ideas in his head. The script changes every day, and it hasn't been finalized yet.

Okay, you don't have to worry about it. You will be responsible for the other roles. I will go to Jiang Wen and tell him that the role of Yang Zirong is his. There is no escape."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Director Han."

Chen Fei hung up the phone happily.

The two of them have a good relationship and are almost wearing the same pants. As long as Han Sanping comes forward, Jiang Wen will definitely not refuse.

Having solved a big issue in his heart, Chen Fei was in a very happy mood.

The storyboards for Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy were almost finished. It just so happened that the film festival held a "Friendly Exchange Evening for Domestic and Foreign Filmmakers". He planned to join in the fun and maybe find some good film and television copyrights.

…

Halfway through June, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was a complete flop.

A movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, which has been released for more than a week, has only a total box office of 61.53 million. This is doomed to be a flop.

The film flopped, and the actors were also in trouble.

Liu Dehua, Lin Chiling, and Tong Dawei have been almost silent recently. They are very low-key, fearing that they will cause a new round of public opinion attacks from netizens.

At the same time, the upcoming "Detective Dee" has also rushed up, and the main character is the master and apprentice Li Lianjie and Wen Zhang.

Tangren seems to have completely given up on Liu Shishi. There is no press release about her on the Internet. The occasional promotional posters are arranged by the crew.

The most attention in the industry is the two "Tiny Times" films that Guo Jingming finished shooting in February.

The first film is scheduled to be released in late June, and it was also shortlisted for the Film Channel Media Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival, which is really surprising!

In addition to these, many people in the film industry have been attracted by a Sino-French co-production that has been in preparation for four years.

China Film and the French company announced at the same time that the casting for the co-production "Wolf Totem" has been completed.

After receiving the news, Huayi did not hesitate at all and directly posted the press release on the headlines of major portals and film and television information websites.

"The film "Wolf Totem", which has been in preparation for four years and has an investment cost of 300 million yuan, will officially start shooting in June. The starring lineup includes Feng Shaofeng, Dou Xiao, Anghanima, etc."

"This is a story about the educated youth Chen Zhen who went to the Mongolian grassland to work in the production team. During his grazing life on the grassland, he had long-term contact with wolves and finally gained a new understanding of wolves and grassland culture."

"Congratulations to the Chinese actor Feng Shaofeng!"

As the press release spread, a large number of male actors in the industry cast envious eyes.

Just because the director announced with the announcement of the cast turned out to be the Oscar-winning director of the best foreign language film, Jean-Jacques Annaud!

This international director is known as the best at filming animals in the industry!

Although it is a bit exaggerated to describe Feng Shaofeng's cooperation with him, it is very close to the saying that the ancestral graves are smoking.

This movie is obviously aiming for awards, and because of this, many people are very envious of Feng Shaofeng's luck.

At the same time, more actors set their sights on Chen Fei's new movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

The temptation of the four words "actor tentative" is really too great!

As more news about the script was exposed, many people found out the details.

It turned out that Chen Fei's new movie script was adapted from the "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" section in the revolutionary popular novel "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" by contemporary writer Qu Bo.

For a time, more and more people walked into the bookstore, bought the novel, and began to study it carefully.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

Know more now, maybe when the casting officially starts, you can stand out with the help of your understanding of the original work!

…

Because the departure time was a little late, when Chen Fei arrived at the banquet venue, it had already started.

He was about to show the invitation letter, but the security guard at the door waved his hands again and again, and enthusiastically helped him open the door of the banquet hall.

"Thanks, brother!"

Chen Fei thanked him and strode into the banquet hall under the admiring eyes of the other party.

Looking around, the whole cocktail party was full of light and colors, and the neon lights intertwined a dreamlike light and shadow.

The invited guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, talking in low voices or singing and dancing, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere.

The air was also filled with a faint smell of perfume and wine, which made people feel intoxicated.

The piano sound was soft and melodious, adding a bit of romance and comfort to the whole scene, making people feel as if they were in a high-end banquet, talking and laughing with great scholars, and interacting with no ordinary people.

However, the more glamorous the occasion is, the more some people will make many disgusting and vulgar jokes under the influence of alcohol.

"Aren't you from Beijing Dance Academy? You should be a good dancer, right? Come on, give us a face and dance for us old guys."

Surrounded by a group of middle-aged men with big bellies, Liu Shishi was a little at a loss.

Cai Yinong suddenly called her to come over to socialize, and she came over without thinking much. However, she didn't expect that after the toast, she was surrounded by a group of people, who insisted on letting her dance in public before letting her go.

She wanted to refuse, but looking at the familiar faces, she still didn't dare to lose her temper.

These people are all well-known figures in the film and television industry in Shanghai. Among them are the bosses of brokerage companies who have the power over the life and death of actors and artists, as well as the bosses of producers who control top resources.

If she doesn't give face to these people today, then the moment she terminates her contract with Tang Ren, I'm afraid it will be the moment she completely withdraws from the circle of Magic City.

The corner of his eye glanced around, looking at Cai Yinong with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking like he was watching a good show, Liu Shishi's heart was filled with despair.

By this time, she had actually guessed that this was obviously a hole Cai Yinong dug for her!

Although she was reluctant in every way, she had to jump out of this pit.

In the entertainment industry, there are always many moments when you can't help yourself.

Many people around took out their mobile phones, obviously preparing to record videos.

Liu Shishi has already guessed what is going to happen next. If nothing goes wrong, she will definitely log into the headlines of major entertainment websites tomorrow, and the captions will definitely include words such as "debauched", "shameless", Words such as "showing off in public".

However, just as she endured her grievance and prepared to dance according to these people's requests, a voice suddenly sounded from the outside:

"Didn't you see people wearing high heels? You have never seen dancing when you are riding horses, right? Come and see who is making noise? How about I call someone to come over and set up a stage right now, and I'll pay for a professional dancer to come over How about dancing for you?"

This sudden sound immediately interrupted the noisy atmosphere of the scene, and a group of people watching subconsciously turned their heads and looked back.

When they saw Chen Fei put his hands in his trouser pockets and stared at them coldly, a group of people suddenly panicked.

A middle-aged man with a big belly smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Chen was joking, we were just joking."

Chen Fei looked familiar to that person, but couldn't remember him for a while.

He simply didn't think much about it, curled his lips and asked directly: "Is the joke over?"

"It's over, it's over." The man's face turned red, and the smile on his face became more and more embarrassing, and he quickly found an excuse and left.

Seeing that there was no fun left, the others immediately left the scene. No one dared to touch Chen Fei's brow.

Seeing Cai Yinong leave quickly in the crowd, Chen Fei smiled coldly and turned to look at Liu Shishi who was in front of him: "Is this the person you trusted most back then?"

Liu Shishi pursed his lips: "My contract will expire after the Magic City International Film Festival ends, and I will no longer continue to cooperate with Tangren."

"Well, yes, this choice is quite correct. It seems that you are not stupid enough to help others pay after being sold."

"Director Chen, thank you for helping me out."

"You're welcome." Chen Fei waved his hand casually: "Remember to keep your eyes open in the future, and don't be fooled again."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards where Liu Dehua was on the other side.

Behind him, Liu Shishi's eyes were full of gratitude, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Her original idea was to open her own artist studio after leaving Tangren.

But after what happened tonight, her thoughts were inexplicably dispelled.

Without a backer, even if you open a studio, you will still be bullied, and it may even be better to cooperate with Tang Ren.

She currently has too little capital and power to win the respect of others in the industry, and with Cai Yinong constantly backstabbing behind her, life after leaving Tangren will not be easy!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Chen Fei again.

Looking at the back of the figure chatting happily with Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Jiahui and others, a thought came to her mind.

"The Feiyinghuang Agency seems to be a good fit for me. Otherwise, where can I try it?"
