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

Chapter 333 How to light a fire? South Korean stick = grandson! Xiao Fan Bingbin? (Ask for monthly ticket)

The arrival of August adds a bit of excitement to the capital.

The Olympics are approaching, and even if the policy of restricting traffic on odd and even numbers is implemented, there is still a lot of traffic on the road.

On the way to the Bird's Nest, Chen Fei received a call from Kang Honglei, "Director Chen, "Life and Death" has been successful again. The ratings have exploded and the audience response has been very good!"

"What's the score on Douban?"

"The current score is 8.8, and the number of participants is as high as 10,000!"

Since Douban was launched, this website has become a measuring tool for Chen Fei to judge whether a TV show or movie is good or not.

A large number of people can give the most authentic feedback. After all, ratings cannot lie.

For example, the score of 2.8 for "The Promise" and the score of 3.7 for "Red Cliff Part 1" are definitely not false and represent the most authentic feedback on the movie.

So far, there has not been an operation team that brushes up ratings, so Douban can continue to be used.

"Keep up the good work, and the salary of each member of the production team will be doubled next month. You will announce it in person."

"Haha, Director Chen, let me thank you in advance on behalf of my brothers."

After a brief chat, Chen Fei asked about the filming situation of another movie, "How was the filming of "The Wind"? Didn't anything happen?"

He was really worried about the two brothers from the Wang family and the two sisters from the Li family. These two people were the kind of people who loved teasing, stumbling behind people's backs, and playing tricks.

"Not yet. Director Chen attaches great importance to this film. No one is allowed to interfere. The two presidents rarely come to the set."

"That's good, just keep an eye on it and call me as soon as possible if anything happens."

Chen Fei finally felt relieved. As long as the two Wang brothers didn't cause trouble inside, this spy film would definitely trigger a wave of movie-watching craze in the mainland.

It is not difficult for "The Wind" to have a double harvest of box office awards.

As we approached the Bird's Nest, the traffic became increasingly crowded. It took us ten minutes to walk just a few hundred meters without seeing the end.

The phone rang again, it was a cross-border call.

"The North American box office of "The Twilight Saga 2" officially exceeded US$300 million!"

On the other end of the phone, Natasha was extremely excited. Even though it was already late at night on the American side, she showed no signs of resting.

The figure of $300 million is very critical, because there are less than thirty films that can break through this level, and all of them are films that have left a strong mark on global film history.

Interestingly, "Iron Man" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" are also in this category.

"Okay, the next step is to look at the global box office results."

The second part of Twilight was released in mid-June, so it has been a month and a half, and the box office in North America should not have increased much.

But North America is not the only global vote bank. The results in other places are also very critical.

However, North America has achieved Chen Fei's goal of breaking 300 million, and this number has also surpassed the original result. This is already a huge victory.

Natasha continued: "Woody Allen has already started preparing the filming plan for the third part. How about we move the release time of the third part to the summer vacation next year?"

"Ok, as long as you like it."

Chen Fei doesn't have much idea about the schedule of "The Twilight Saga 3". This kind of series can actually be released at any time. As long as the response of the first two parts is good enough, the third part will be released no matter when it is released. Fans go and support.

On the other hand, those films competing for awards cannot be so casual. If you have requirements for awards, you must strive for the Lunar New Year slot.

"Slumdog Millionaire" is a film competing for awards, so Chen Fei's goal is to complete filming in September at the latest, and then seamlessly transition to "Inception".

The Bird's Nest has a "sacred" status in the hearts of every Chinese!

Known as "the art of architecture" and "the miracle of engineering", it stands in the center of the Olympic Park. It interprets the concept of "nest" in a unique form, implying warmth and home, and is a perfect embodiment of the harmonious symbiosis of architecture and nature. .

After re-living, this was the first time that Chen Fei saw the Bird's Nest with his own eyes!

Zhang Yimou, who came to meet him at the door, introduced him: "The design of the Bird's Nest is inspired by the hollow jade in ancient China. Its appearance is like a bird's nest that breeds life, giving athletes and spectators a warm feeling of home.

The entire building has a unique structure, with staggered steel frames, just like a bird's nest made of branches, giving people a strong visual impact. It is the masterpiece of countless architects! "

Entering the venue, Chen Fei slowly raised his head and looked around.

Under the sunlight, the lines of the bird's nest intersect with light and shadow, making it look extremely majestic and spectacular!

As an iconic building, it not only witnessed the historical moment of the Chinese Olympic Games, but also became a business card for China to show its cultural confidence to the world!

After touring the layout of the Bird's Nest venue, the two came to the conference room and met several leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the torch designer.

"How do I need to rehearse this ignition?"

What impressed Chen Fei the most was the scene of Li Ning lighting the fire, walking in the air with a wire attached, and finally flying to the top of the bird's nest to light the flame.

Zhang Yimou handed over a document bag, "Here are several plans. You can take a brief look at them, but they must be kept confidential."

Chen Fei nodded and opened the file bag, only to see several alternative ignition plans recorded inside.

1. Drilling wood to make fire and satellite laser ignition: The igniting athlete drills "wood" at the ignition site. After the wood is drilled to make fire successfully, it merges with the Olympic flame and symbolically "lights" the laser emitting device, and then the laser emitting device shoots towards the Olympic flame. A laser beam is emitted into space and the signal is transmitted to the "Dongfang Dragon" satellite operating in space. The laser is then reflected from the satellite and fixed on the main torch platform to complete the ignition.

2. "Fuwa" Kongming Lantern Ignition: During the opening ceremony, a huge floating Kongming Lantern was used to replace the main torch stand. The lamp was fixed with an anchor chain and fuel was supplied from there. More than two hundred small sky lanterns were made, which were commissioned by each Olympic committee. Representatives used Chinese brushes dipped in ink to write blessing words on the sky lanterns, and sent representatives to light the main lantern. Representatives of each Olympic committee lit small lanterns at the same time, and then hundreds of lanterns were released into the night sky.

3. "Torch Dance in the Sky": Decorate the sky above the "Bird's Nest" stadium into the image of space, and then design a circular orbit, with Yang Liwei driving a model of the "Shenzhou 8" spacecraft, rotating around the orbit 8 times, and then Fly towards the ignition platform, and when approaching the ignition platform, the aircraft shoots out flames and the blazing torch ignites.

"These plans are all pretty good!" Chen Fei praised in surprise.

The ideas put forward by these designers are all great, and each plan has its own inherent meaning. Both the pictures and the effects are very shocking.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou shook his head with regret, "These are all plans that were abandoned for various reasons."

"Huh? Abandoned?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment and silently put all the A4 papers into the document bag.

Now that it has been deprecated, there is no point in continuing to read it.

"This is the latest ignition plan." A leader of the Olympic Organizing Committee handed over a new document bag.

Chen Fei reached out to take it, opened it and took a look, and a somewhat familiar feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

Isn't this the plan Li Ning had for her long-distance run in the Bird's Nest stadium before her rebirth?

After reading the content carefully, Chen Fei turned to look at Lao Mouzi, "So, let's rehearse this next?"

"Yes." Zhang Yimou nodded, and then added: "You are a stuntman, and no one is more familiar with Diao Wei Ya than you, so I feel more comfortable having you as the torchbearer. "

"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" Chen Fei promised seriously.

~

After coming out of the conference room, Zhang Yimou led Chen Fei to the ignition platform and introduced him to the route of the air walk, as well as some small details of stepping and ignition.

"There are still 6 days until the Olympic Games start. Our time is very tight, so there is not much time left for you to rehearse. You have to understand."

"I got it."

Chen Fei nodded seriously. This ignition step may be difficult for others, but it shouldn't be too easy for him.

Diao Wei Ya is a common occurrence for him, so he just treats this job as filming.

"Then get ready. Let's have the first rehearsal first. This time it's mainly to familiarize you with the route..."

As Lao Mouzi spoke, he called the staff over and ordered them to put on Chen Fei's Wei Ya equipment.

But at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that as the rehearsal was about to begin, there were suddenly a lot of security personnel in the venue!

Looking at the security personnel blocking the entrance of the venue on three floors, he couldn't help but be curious, "Are the guards so tight? There are so many security guards?"

Perhaps hearing his mutterings, a Wia staff member said angrily: "Director Chen, you may not know that a rehearsal we had some time ago was secretly photographed by a reporter from South Korea's SBS TV station. .

Those people were so disgusting that they actually released a two-minute and 9-second video, which included the opening ceremony performance, entrance ceremony, lighting of the main torch and other relevant details, and also introduced and commented on the video.

Just because of this video, many of the programs we had been rehearsing for several years were canceled! "

At this time, Zhang Yimou walked over from the other side of the venue.

After hearing the staff member's indignation, he sighed helplessly, "Actually, the original idea for the lighting ceremony of the Olympic Games opening ceremony was that a phoenix would fly from a distance, hold the flame in its mouth, and light the main torch. After all, There is nothing more suitable for the Bird's Nest Stadium than the idea of ​​"Phoenix Returning to its Nest", but it is a pity that it was exposed by those people."

SBS TV station?

"Did they apologize?"

"No!" Another Wia staff member said angrily: "Not only did they not apologize, but they kept sending people over in an attempt to sneak into the Bird's Nest and film more inside scenes of the opening ceremony."

Chen Fei's eyes were slightly cold, these sticks are really mean!

"Okay, let me handle this matter. Don't you want to apologize? I want to see how many heads they have."

"ah?"

Zhang Yimou and the two staff members were stunned when they heard what he said, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Do you still know anyone in South Korea?"

"have."

Chen Fei didn't say much. CJ and ShowBox certainly couldn't help. They were on the same level as SBS TV station, and they had the kind of relationship where no one could do anything to the other.

And the reason why those gangsters are able to do bad things everywhere in Asia relies on the "beautiful father" behind them.

The relationship is very interesting at this point. The "beautiful father" in Bangzi's mouth, most of them have to call Chen Fei "father" when they meet him!

In other words, those stick guys have to call him "Grandpa".

So should the grandson listen to what grandpa said?

Chen Fei believes that they will make the most correct choice. Anyway, they and Xiaoli are both pissed off. They like to hold press conferences to apologize to the public no matter what happens.

…

The rehearsal lasted until 5:30 in the afternoon. Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou left the Bird's Nest together and rushed towards the CPPCC Auditorium.

The movie "Kung Fu Panda" has caused great sensation and repercussions abroad. Many foreign media have publicly published articles saying that although this is a Hollywood movie, the Chinese elements used in it show the uniqueness of Chinese culture. The most vivid and vivid!

Many people even regard it as a promotional video for China's 2008 Olympic Games!

As the saying goes, flowers outside the walls bring fragrance inside. The sensation in foreign media also caused an uproar in the mainland film and television circles.

Many promotional clips have been posted on major mainland platforms early on, which has aroused a lot of people's curiosity and attention. But now as the momentum in Hollywood continues to grow, mainland movie fans have also flocked to theaters to watch. This Hollywood animated film is rich in Chinese characteristics.

The film bureau paid a lot of attention to this animated film, and a certain leader personally set the tone, thinking that this was an excellent animated film that could be promoted.

So with the coordination of many parties, tonight's movie meet-and-greet event came into being.

People from the Chen Family Class and the Hong Family Class flew directly to the capital from Hong Kong to prepare for tonight's event.

They played an indelible and important role in the filming of the movie. Since a meet-and-greet is to be held, they are naturally indispensable.

~

Many people had gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the CPPCC Auditorium early. The media and fans gathered here, waiting for the arrival of celebrities from all walks of life.

In front of the signature wall, Lan Yingying and Cai Wenjing held trays with signature pens in them.

Because the event had not yet started, the two girls chatted quietly while waiting for the guests to arrive.

"Are you a grade 08 acting major from China National Theater?"

After finding out the identity of the girl next to her, Cai Wenjing was surprised and covered her mouth.

"Yes," Lan Yingying nodded lightly and said with a smile: "We are in the same class, but you are from Nortel Class 08, and I am from China Theater Class 08. We can leave a contact information after the event is over. It’s also convenient for visiting each other.”

"Haha, good! Good!"

Cai Wenjing nodded hurriedly. She still understood the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths.

What's more, tonight's job is hard-won. Since the other party can stand here like me, he obviously has a good background.

"I heard that there will be many celebrities and directors coming tonight. It would be great if I could get to know them and maybe be remembered by them!"

The most important thing in the entertainment industry is connections, which is why the two of them became hostesses.

If you are lucky enough to be noticed by a certain director, "prosperity" in the future will no longer be a dream!

"I hope..."

Lan Yingying also looked forward to it. What she wanted to meet most was Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou. It would be great if they could be "Flying Girls" or "Mou Girls"!

~

The meeting officially started at seven o'clock, and stars, artists, directors, producers, film and television agency bosses, etc. all stepped onto the red carpet.

Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying were immediately busy. They had to keep smiling throughout the process and deliver signature pens to every "big celebrity".

Feng Xiaogang, Chen Guofu, Ning Hao, Wang Quan'an, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Wang Zhiwen, Ge You, Shu Qi...

One after another, top directors and artists in the industry walked onto the red carpet, causing screams and making Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying feel dizzy.

When Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​Wang Luojue and other actresses who had a good relationship with Chen Fei walked on the red carpet, listening to the enthusiastic cheers on both sides of the red carpet, their eyes showed unabashed envy.

When will they also enjoy such a highlight moment?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard even more harsh cheers and screams echoing around the scene!

"Who's coming?"

The two subconsciously raised their heads and saw that at the starting point of the red carpet, Chen Fei, Zhang Yimou, Chen Long, Hong Jingbao, and all the martial arts instructors from Chen Jia Ban and Hong Jia Ban stepped onto the red carpet.

"Director Chen is so handsome!"

The cheers on both sides of the red carpet were deafening, and Chen Long felt a little jealous.

"When I was young, I was always the center of attention when I walked on the red carpet. Alas, now that I am old, my charm has declined a lot."

Hong Jingbao, who was next to him, curled his lips and said mockingly: "Don't bother, this is a handful of bones. Be careful that one day you won't be able to get up from bed."

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei couldn't hold himself any longer. He suddenly thought of Yao Haotong and Zhang Lanxin, the two actresses "hand-picked" by Chen Long.

A large group of people arrived in front of the signature wall.

"Director Chen, please sign."

A nice voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears. He turned his head subconsciously and was stunned when he saw Miss etiquette's face.

"Fan Bing..."

wrong? Not Fan Bingbin!

After staring at the girl carefully for a few seconds, Chen Fei finally realized that the face in front of him did look similar to Fan Bingbin, but the figure was very different.

"Thanks."

After taking the signature pen, Chen Fei signed his name and then walked into the venue with others.

After the finale, the red carpet ceremony came to an end.

Lan Yingying looked at Cai Wenjing with envy, "Director Chen just stared at you for a long time. I think he must remember you, and you are both from Nortel. Maybe you will have a chance to be attracted by him in the future." Selected for filming."

"No way, he may have recognized the wrong person."

Cai Wenjing smiled modestly, but she had some thoughts in her heart.

She clearly heard Chen Fei call out Fan Bingbin's name just now. In addition, she did look somewhat similar to the famous actress Fan Bingbin, so it was normal for her to admit her mistake.

But just such a name made her heart move.

"Why don't I learn from Fan Bingbin and follow the same sexy route in the future? Maybe I will gain a lot."

Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited!
