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

As soon as he landed in Shanghai, Chen Fei received a call from Natasha.

"Fei, we have once again set a record. "The Twilight Saga" has exceeded US$300 million in North America, and the global box office has officially exceeded US$600 million!"

As he walked towards the exit of the airport, Chen Fei smiled and said, "Tell Woody Allen and the others that when I get back, I must hold a grand celebration dinner."

"Ok!"

Natasha nodded repeatedly. This series can be said to be a real small investment with big returns.

After only three films were released, it has already grossed more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, allowing Waltons Pictures to make a lot of money!

So far, in the period from May to June, the box office performance of "The Twilight Saga" produced by Volton Pictures has far exceeded that of 20th Century Fox's "Night at the Museum 2" and Warner Bros. "Terminator 2018".

However, Hollywood's box office battle in the first half of the year has not come to an end yet, because there is still another film "Up" produced by Pixar Animation Studio that is catching up!

Judging from the current situation, Twilight 3 is still in the lead for the time being, but the latter is also gaining momentum. The square old man and the little fat man are loved by many North American audiences.

Of course, these are situations that Natasha needs to pay attention to.

Chen Fei's attention has now been fully focused on the filming of "The Hunger Games" and the promotion of "Inception". He will not pay too much attention to other things.

"You remember to urge the studio and tell Philip Messina that the scene construction work in Area 12 must be completed by mid-July."

"Don't worry, I will tell him."

When the call ended, Chen Fei happened to arrive at the exit of the airport.

As previously agreed, he raised his head and looked to the right, and immediately saw a man wearing a peaked cap, a pair of sunglasses on his nose, and a black mask on his face.

Almost all the passengers coming and going avoided him for the simple reason that he looked so much like a paparazzi.

That is to say, in the Magic City, if you had gone to Xiangjiang, you would have been taken away by the police wearing this outfit!

"Hey? Are you doing this again?"

Chen Fei shook his head helplessly and waved towards the man, indicating that he could go out and talk again.

In order to avoid being recognized, both of them walked very quickly.

After getting in the car, taking off his disguise, and looking out of the rearview mirror to make sure no one was following him, Hu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh! Every time I come to pick up the plane, it's like a spy war. I'm always worried about being discovered."

Chen Fei rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, and complained: "With your appearance, only a ghost can recognize that you are Hu Ge himself."

Since you are coming to the Magic City, you must find a host.

Chen Fei was initially planning to contact Ren Zhonglun, but unexpectedly Hu Ge called him midway and asked if he would come back to participate in the Magic City International Film Festival?

It's okay if he doesn't ask, but if he does ask, he will be regarded as the driver.

"Shall we go eat first?"

"Okay, it's up to you to arrange it. Guests are welcome to do as they please." Erlang raised his legs, and Chen Fei wanted to enjoy it.

On the way, the conversation between the two quickly turned to "Myth" which had already been started.

Chen Fei asked somewhat vaguely: "Who has the heroine chosen?"

"Bai Bin."

"Did you order it from the Emperor?"

"right."

I have to say that it is good to have a well-connected family and abundant resources.

Jing Tian and Bai Bin are both among the "Four Beauties of Beijing". They are famous for their background, strength and influence in the entertainment industry.

"When are you going to join the cast? Brother Chen Long complains about you on the set every day, saying that you are so busy that you can't even see your face."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Long's helpless expression suddenly appeared in Chen Fei's mind. He was happy for a while before replying: "I will have a month of free time after the film festival. I will try to finish filming my scenes as soon as possible." .”

Fortunately, he hasn't prepared to film "Heart Blossoms" yet. If they were all turned on, he might not even be able to see anyone.

Arriving at the hotel, Chen Fei found that there were quite a few guests tonight!

Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi have become standard, and in addition to these two people, there are also Tang Yan and Huo Jianhua.

Fortunately, Yang Mi is not here today, otherwise it would have been a big party for the starring actors of "Sword and Sword III".

"Good evening everyone."

Chen Fei raised his hand and said hello without any airs, but several other people quickly stood up and said hello after seeing him come in.

Sitting down next to Liu Shishi, he tore off the plastic wrap on the tableware and asked casually: "Is Sword and Sword III premiering soon?"

"Yeah, it will premiere on June 28th."

Liu Shishi nodded obediently, and when he looked at him, his eyes flashed with deep gratitude.

When she went to audition for "Bu Bu Jing Xin" before, she just had the mentality of giving it a try and never thought that she would be selected.

But what she didn't expect was that she ended up in the third round of auditions and successfully won the role!

When the producer called her and told her to sign the contract, she was still stunned for a long time before she realized what was going on.

She has signed a contract with Tang Dynasty for so many years. Although Cai Yinong has cultivated her as "Tang Ren's first sister", she has never played the leading female role.

On the contrary, the movie "The Stranger Iljimae" that the company is currently preparing seems to be prepared for her, but this matter is currently only rumored by internal people and has not been concretely finalized.

Therefore, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" can be regarded as her first "female number one" role in her life!

At first, she still had a lot of doubts in her mind. How did she stand out among so many competitors?

She doesn't think her acting skills are better than those in Chinese dramas.

Cai Yinong even nervously asked her if Feiyue Film and Television had made any excessive demands on her, such as... job hopping!

However, Liu Shishi shook his head in denial without even thinking about it.

There were no requirements, they just informed her that she had passed the audition, and after signing the contract, she would be ready to join the crew for filming.

With confusion, she attended the launch conference of "Bu Bu Jing Xin".

It was not until later when she was chatting with the casting director that she learned that in fact, the director team at Xiangjiang initially thought Jiang Yiyan was more suitable, but in the end, Chen Fei rejected it directly.

His original words were this: "I think Liu Shishi is very good."

With just nine simple words, she was given the leading female role. This kindness was truly beyond words for her!

"Director Chen, I would like to toast you and thank you for your affirmation of me in the casting of "Step by Step"."

"It's a small matter, act well, don't let me down."

Chen Fei clinked glasses with her happily. He still liked Liu Shishi more than the scheming bitch recommended by the director team.

However, when this simple sentence is heard in other people's ears, it immediately has a different effect.

Tang Yan's heart moved, and she quickly raised her wine glass, "Director Chen, I'd like to toast you too. If you are offered any suitable roles in the future, be sure to remember me as your classmate!"

She is from the Chinese Opera Class of 2002, and Chen Fei is from the Nortel Class of 2002, so they can barely relate to each other as classmates.

"Okay, I will definitely contact you when there is a suitable opportunity."

The meal lasted for nearly two hours, and Chen Fei drank a lot of wine. Although he was not drunk, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Although we are all of the same age, the gap in identity and status is so great that it is difficult to find the relaxed feeling we had when we first met.

After walking out of the hotel, because it was getting late and both girls had drunk a lot, they followed the assistant and left first.

However, the men did not separate.

After getting in the car, Yuan Hong, who had not drunk, acted as the driver.

Hu Ge looked at Huo Jianhua, the co-pilot, with a smirk on his face, "Baitoufu, it's up to you to arrange the rest of the trip."

"No problem!" Huo Jianhua nodded and said the place name directly.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the backyard of a bathing and foot massage parlor.

Hu Ge bumped Chen Fei's arm and said with a smirk: "There is no massage parlor in the entire Magic City that Lao Huo doesn't know. As long as it's a place he takes, it's absolutely hard!"

"oh?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Huo Jianhua who was sitting in front of him with a serious look, but he didn't notice it.

So this is still a sultry one?

No wonder he married Lin Xinru. Although this woman is not as exaggerated as Zhao Yanzi, she was also stabbed by Grandma Rong after all!

"I actually only have one wish in this life." Huo Jianhua suddenly spoke, his tone full of regret and unwillingness.

Yuan Hong, who had parked the car, turned his head to look at him with curiosity, while Fade Chen and Hu Ge in the back row also looked over subconsciously.

Why is this so good and you even express your emotions?

At this time, Huo Jianhua said in a faint tone: "I just hope that pedicure can be included in medical insurance."

"Damn, you're so sexy!"

Hu Ge couldn't hold himself any longer on the spot.

He seemed to be dissatisfied, and suddenly became more literary and artistic, "I remember when I first went there, I didn't know her name. The first time I saw her, she was standing in front of me carrying a small box.

It rained lightly in Hengdian in February, which made people feel a bit cool. She stood there obediently and looked directly at me with tender eyes.

I have never experienced such personal tenderness. When I asked her to come over, she took my hand with a hint of shyness.

Perhaps it was because the night was so charming that I felt a little moved.

In that dimly lit small room, we chatted from Kafka to Osamu Dazai, from Tagore to Van Gogh. Her tenderness overwhelmed me like a tide. I only hope that moment will last forever, and I hope she can last forever. belong to me.

She is like a fresh white flower maintained by a clear spring in the mountains. I have touched her beauty with my own hands, but I cannot pick up her imperfections. However, I think she must be free, because she has her green years in her prime! "

Yuan Hong: "..."

Hu Ge: "Show! What a show!"

Chen Fei looked at Huo Jianhua with complicated eyes as he recounted his first massage experience with a wet look, and couldn't help but said leisurely: "Love starts with the clock, but is it difficult to calm down when the clock stops?"

"Huh? Fellow fellow!"

"Disrespect! Disrespect!"

This night, Chen Fei heard many stories again.

A gambling father, a sick mother, a young brother and a broken her...

In the end, it was Huo Jianhua who paid the money. None of the other three people could beat him, because his motto is: If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world!

"Damn, you are actually a black gold member here?"

When Hu Ge walked out of the massage parlor, he looked at the gold-rimmed membership card that Huo Jianhua had put away and was completely shocked!

Shrugging indifferently, Huo Jianhua said softly: "You know, I am a professional."

The next day, the Magic City International Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially began!

Chen Fei saw "Bullfighting" and "Hello, Mr. Tree" in the hotel! 》All the members of the crew, including Ren Zhonglun, were almost laughing out loud.

"Haha, both of the two films invested by Shanghai Film Group Corporation have been shortlisted for the Magic City International Film Festival. Isn't this a success?"

Chen Fei curled his lips and was speechless at his expression.

The entire corridor was filled with his arrogant laughter. Would he really not get beaten this way?

“Who am I walking the red carpet with today?”

Chen Fei looked at Huang Bo and Tian Zhuangzhuang respectively. He was the screenwriter and producer of these two movies, so logically he was the same as everyone else.

"You and Huang..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang was about to refuse, but was quickly interrupted by Huang Bo, "We finally invited Director Chen over. Of course we have put everything to good use, so why don't we just let him make two more trips?"

"Hey, are you really treating me like a donkey?"

Chen Fei smiled and didn't care. He immediately said that he could walk the red carpet with the two crews separately.

"Then I'll excuse you."

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled slightly and glanced at Huang Bo from the corner of his eye. He was quite impressed by his high emotional intelligence!

Many people in the industry praised Huang Bo for his very high emotional intelligence after working with him. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true. He is a man of great wisdom!

The red carpet ceremony started at noon. Chen Fei first followed Huang Bo and Yan Ni to the waiting area.

"Huh? Isn't this the Huang Shengyi of the new four Xiaohuadan?"

Yan Ni's tone was a little sarcastic, obviously he had seen the ridicule of Huang Shengyi on the Internet.

But at this time, she seemed to think of something again, and suddenly turned to look at Chen Fei, "Director Chen, the new four majors were announced not long ago, why are you not on the list?"

New four major students?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned. He seemed to have only heard of Hu Ge, and he had no idea who the other three people were.

At this time, Huang Bo on the side suddenly became happy, "Stop making trouble, why don't you ask Hu Ge, Zhang Junning, Lin Yushen, and Zhu Yuchen first to see if they dare to compare with Director Chen?" ?”

"That's true, it's not on the same level at all."

Yan Ni stuck out his tongue and immediately shut up. If he continued talking, he would offend others.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan appeared in a long white dress and short hair, which attracted many screams from fans and the sound of camera shutters from the media.

After all, it was an "international" film festival, and many foreigners came, but after Chen Fei glanced around, he found that no one was familiar to him.

It seems that everyone here today is engaged in literature and art, and no one who can seriously play commercial films is here.

However, he knew many of the judges, such as Danny Boyle, whose film "Slumdog Millionaire" was cut by him, Huang Jianxin, the director of "The Founding of a People", and the director of "The Departed". Liu Weiqiang.

The moment he stepped on the red carpet, as expected, the media at the scene were stunned when they saw him!

"What the hell? Chen Fei has returned to China?"

"Good guy! The biggest star of this Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival is here!"

"My dear, are the organizers so arrogant? Can they actually invite this person back to the country?"

There was endless discussion at the scene, and the flash almost blinded Yan Ni and Huang Bo. The appearance of the top director was displayed to the fullest at this moment!

"Director Chen, do you have any new movie plans recently?"

"Yes, my new work "The Hunger Games" will be launched in July, and "Inception" will also be released in mainland theaters, so stay tuned..."

Wave after wave of interviews lingered in Chen Fei's ears. This situation lasted for more than ten minutes, and also appeared in the following "Hello, Mr. Tree!" "Inside the crew.

When Wu Yu, who had already entered the venue in advance, heard that Chen Fei was also coming to the film festival today, his face suddenly darkened, and his good mood suddenly disappeared.

"It's a narrow road for enemies!"

The news that Chen Fei returned to China to participate in the film festival soon spread online, triggering speculation and discussion in the industry.

"To support "Hello, Mr. Tree!" and "Bullfighting"?"

"Probably, otherwise he would have no reason to go anywhere."

"I guess the organizer will have to say something..."

~

After everyone entered, the award ceremony officially began.

"Wait and See" directed by Li Dawei and starring Hua Zhao and Yue Hong took the lead in winning four awards: Most Potential New Actor, Most Potential New Director, Most Watched Actress, and Most Media Attention Film.

At the same time, "Nightclub" produced by Orange Sky Entertainment helped Baldy Xu win the Most Watched Actor Award.

Although Chen Long did not come, the children's film that attracted the most media attention was awarded to a movie called "Looking for Chen Long". Zhang Yishan, a young master from the capital, laughed like a monkey in the audience.

At this point, a bunch of random small awards have been announced, and the main meal is finally coming!

The Golden Goblet Award for Best Cinematography was given to the French film "No Blessed Place", and the Best Music Award was given to the South Korean film "The Movie is a Movie."

When the Best Actress Award was presented, both Yan Ni and Tong Liya became nervous. Unfortunately, the award was eventually taken away by Danish actress Simone Tang.

Chen Fei glanced sideways. Wang Baoqiang was still comforting Tong Liya in a low voice, and the two of them were still holding their little hands.

The next one is the Best Actor Award. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are both nominated, but Chen Fei is not very optimistic about them.

According to the rules of the Magic City International Film Festival, the best actor and best actress must be from foreign countries, and these mainland actors have nothing to do with them.

Sure enough, when the final award was announced, it was given to an actor from Sweden.

"call!"

Huang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't feel too sorry. After all, he had won the Golden Horse Best Actor Award for this movie last year.

On the other hand, Wang Baoqiang is a little lost. After making so many movies, the box office is good, but he has not yet received an actor award.

"Don't be disappointed, there will be an Asia-Pacific Film Festival later, and you might win an award." Tong Liya comforted him in a low voice.

Soon, the screenwriting award was also announced, and the Italian film "Yes, We Can" successfully took home the trophy.

"Why are you still so pissy?"

Chen Fei frowned slightly, didn't the Magic City International Film Festival say it was already undergoing reforms? Even the judges have changed a group of people, but how come the awarding style is still the same as before?

Just as he was wondering, he heard the announcement of the Best Director Award.

Liu Weiqiang took the letter and said loudly: "The winner of the Golden Goblet Award for Best Director at the 12th Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival is Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Hello, Mr. Tree!" Congratulations!"

The scene was silent at first, and then burst into warm applause.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's status in the director circle is still very high, plus "Hello, Mr. Tree!" "The quality of the film is indeed high enough, so it is worthy of the title.

What everyone didn't expect was that when the jury award was announced, "Hello, Mr. Tree!" 》’s name was shouted out again!

This time, as producers, screenwriters, and producers, Chen Fei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Ren Zhonglun stepped onto the podium at the same time.

As the presenter of the award, even though Wu Yu felt a hundred reluctances, he had to force out a smile and shook hands with the three of them before handing over the trophy.

As he quickly walked off the podium and returned to his seat, he felt a sense of alienation in his heart, as if he had eaten mouse droppings.

Forget about being a coolie, you still have to give awards to people you hate. How fucking disgusting!

"I hope that the Magic City International Film Festival will not forget its original aspirations, get rid of the old and welcome the new, and stride forward towards a better future. I also hope that it can be blessed with more diversified elements and attract more films to participate in the exhibition..."

After a meaningful speech, Chen Fei walked off the podium.

Many mainland directors, producers, actors and others at the scene had slightly changed expressions and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

As expected of a top international director, he really dares to speak out if he has something to say!

Different from the past, this year's film festival also specially added a jury award. The host also specifically emphasized that this award is not a permanent award of the film festival. It is obviously specially established for this year's shortlisted films, which is quite meaningful.

The award was finally awarded to "Empire of Silver". Director Yao Shuhua, starring Aaron Kwok, Hao Lei, Zhang Tielin, Du Jiang and others all took the stage to show their faces.

"Is this coming to promote the movie?" Ren Zhonglun raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to have some suspicion in his mind.

"Maybe."

Chen Fei looked at the names of Han Sanping and Yu Dong in the column of producers, and suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.

If nothing else happens, the two brothers will have to pay again.

The final Golden Goblet Award for Best Picture was taken away by the Danish film "Original Life". The pork was divided fairly evenly, and no one with background, strength, and status had time to spare.

Chen Fei originally thought that the award ceremony would end here, but he didn't expect that there would be another link afterwards.

The host recited loudly: "Let us invite the winner of this year's Golden Goblet Award for Outstanding Contribution to Chinese Film - Wu Yu!"

In the audience, Wu Yu, who was originally unhappy, suddenly lit up.

He knew that his trip would not be in vain. No, the Magic City International Film Festival began to give him a place.

Wu Yu walked onto the stage with his head held high. After receiving the trophy, Wu Yu shared his experience in making movies under the instruction of the host and began to teach the "juniors" in the audience.

"First of all, it is humility. As a director, you must be open-minded and not be arrogant and complacent..."

After speaking eloquently for more than ten minutes, Wu Yu finally expressed all the resentment in his heart.

Your Chen Fei commercial films are really good, but do you have the qualifications to go on stage and give lectures to so many people?

However, just as he walked down with a smile on his face and holding the trophy, he heard the host invite again: "Let us invite the winner of this year's Golden Goblet Award for Asian Outstanding Film Contribution - Chen Fei!"

In an instant, the smile on Wu Yu's face froze.

If he just ate a fly just now, then now he is like eating stinky dog ​​shit, and his whole body stinks!

Asian Outstanding Film Contribution Award?

Doesn't this firmly beat him to the "Outstanding Chinese Film Contribution Award"?

Make knitting!

However, at this time, Chen Fei, who had already stood up and was about to go on stage, did not pay attention to Wu Yu who had eaten a mouthful of shit. He suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

Let me go on stage to "lecture"?

Young Master, I am quite happy today, so let me give you a shock!
