Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Chen Feng indeed had no intention of intervening in the specific production and filming process of "Shark Beach". After all, this was just a small project he casually invested in.

Because he felt that he was destined to Zuo Fei and several young people, because he felt that these people did have some real abilities, and because he happened to be very optimistic about the subject of sharks, so after reading Zuo Fei's revised new script, he He happily agreed to invest.

But for Chen Feng now, all this is actually just a trivial matter. After all, in the new year, most of his energy will be devoted to "The Wandering Earth", and that is the main work.

As for "Shark Beach", it would be best if it can succeed. Even if it fails in the end, it will have no impact on Chen Feng.

Therefore, this opportunity has a greater impact on Zuo Fei.

If Zuo Fei can really seize this opportunity and make "Shark Beach" well, his life will change dramatically.

And the attitude shown by Chen Feng made Zuo Fei even more happy.

Because Chen Feng really doesn't seem to get involved in the specific operations of his filming.

Compared with those investors who like to dictate to the crew and force some well-connected actors to be cast, Chen Feng is simply the conscience of the industry!

The money is given to you and you have to do the hard work yourself. You'd better succeed in the hard work, and if it really fails, it probably won't matter.

This seems to be Chen Feng's current attitude.

So how could Zuo Fei be unhappy?

…

After talking to Zuo Fei, Chen Feng and An Ruohua's vacation finally officially ended, and the two returned to Kyoto City together.

In the new year, both Chen Feng and An Ruohua devoted themselves to their respective jobs with full energy.

An Ruohua continues to be in charge of the behind-the-scenes work of Ping An Investment, including the need to follow up on the first literary film she previously invested in, and the subsequent signing of a detailed investment agreement with Zuo Fei, etc., and after a while, she will also have to deal with " A breakdown of the box office of the movie "Infernal Affairs".

The burden on An Ruohua's shoulders is not light either.

But now An Ruohua likes her current situation very much. Although she has temporarily left her role as an actress, she now knows more about the entire film industry and can help Chen Feng more, which makes her very happy and very happy. pride.

Chen Feng devoted himself wholeheartedly to the "Wandering Earth" project.

On February 18, "The Wandering Earth" held a grand opening ceremony at Donghai Film and Television City.

At this point, "The Wandering Earth" has become one of the most watched projects in the film industry. Coupled with the reputation of investors such as Beidou Entertainment, Chen Feng, Tailang Entertainment, and Chen Hui, many news media have heard about it. Come and get ready to dig some more.

Fortunately, Beidou Entertainment was the organizer this time, and their public relations department was very experienced in handling such scenes and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

The opening ceremony went well.

But the media interviews after the opening ceremony were a bit complicated.

After receiving relevant labor fees and gifts, most reporters only asked some high-sounding questions symbolically. Most of them were helping to promote "The Wandering Earth", but there were also a few reporters who asked some questions that made people feel uncomfortable. Not too happy stuff.

For example, about the introduction of new directors and new actors.

"Mr. Wu, I heard that "The Wandering Earth" invited many well-known actors, but in the end it cast new actors. What are your expectations for this, Mr. Wu?"

expect?

Wu Hengjiang had a slight smile on his face, but in his heart he had already scolded the reporter in front of him several times.

"I hope that all the actors participating in "The Wandering Earth", whether they are new actors or veteran actors, can perform well. Let's work together to make the film a success."

Wu Hengjiang said something insignificant and did not want to answer the reporter's question.

But the other party didn't seem to want to give up.

"However, it is said that the "Wandering Earth" project was rejected by many actors. So, does Mr. Wu have anything to say about this?"

Wu Hengjiang's expression remained unchanged.

"The cooperation between the film and the actors is achieved on the premise of fully respecting the wishes of both parties. The positioning of the role, the appropriateness of the schedule, etc. all have an impact. We are all filmmakers and we are tolerant of each other in our work. I hope that we can Let’s jointly promote the development of Chinese-language films…”

Another set of very polite words. Wu Hengjiang would naturally not make any mistakes on this kind of issue.

When the reporter wanted to ask something else, someone suddenly put his arm around his shoulders and asked him out of the venue.

A minor commotion was easily resolved, and the interview ended peacefully.

…

Although Wu Hengjiang has dealt with many problems carefully enough, when news about the opening ceremony of "The Wandering Earth" spread online, many people were still not very optimistic about the film.

What’s even more hateful is that there are quite a few people who don’t understand anything at all and directly start to maliciously belittle “The Wandering Earth”.

It would be easier to accept if some competitors were making small moves, but it is really incomprehensible for those who don’t understand anything to just close their eyes and start complaining.

Moreover, when the project of "The Wandering Earth" was first established and recruitment of directors and actors began, most of the targets were insiders. At that time, most of the people who mocked the project were peers, and the number was actually not very large.

But now that "The Wandering Earth" has officially launched, it has truly entered the public eye, so the audience has expanded countless times.

Whether they think the movie is favorable or not, the number of people has increased a lot.

In particular, there are endless pessimistic remarks.

"Chinese science fiction... I think this kind of movies can be filtered out directly. Domestic people make science fiction movies and they can't taste that at all. Just wait and see!"

"I'm afraid it's like "Deep Space Trek" again, fooling people. I just want to ask, who will be fooled a second time?"

"There is at least a hundred years of difference between Chinese-language movies and foreign films. We will never be able to catch up in this life!"

"You have to learn to run before you learn to walk. Sooner or later you will fall!"

"Too much ambition, not enough strength, acting blindly, and ignoring the gap. These are the common problems of those in the Chinese film industry..."

"The steps are too big and the balls can be easily pulled."

At the public level, more people are not optimistic about the movie "The Wandering Earth". On the one hand, there are indeed few successful cases of Chinese science fiction. On the other hand, foreign science fiction blockbusters like "Escape from the Mother Planet" have made many people I saw the huge gap between Chinese films and foreign films. This gap is so big that it even makes people despair.

And when people feel desperate, they tend to give in... Many people slowly come to believe in their hearts that Chinese-language films simply cannot produce good science fiction works.

It can never be photographed!

These people have already accepted death and it is difficult for them to stand up again.

What's worse is that there are many such people.
