[Congratulations to the host for completing the third SSS level challenge! Please select your skills! 】
Harvest time has come again.
On the assault boat, Chen Fei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, paddling towards the shore while communicating with the system in his mind.
"Skill selection", as the name suggests, allows him to decide by himself what skills he wants this time.
After completing the first two SSS-level missions, he has received four rewards in total: Director Mastery (∞), Acting Mastery (∞), Computer Mastery (∞), and Prop Production Mastery (∞), and these four rewards are all Ability to grow.
But this time, he had a plan in mind.
He first asked: "How many skills can I choose?"
[Due to the extremely high degree of completion of this mission, the host can choose two skills. 】
Good!
Chen Fei grinned lightly, with a hint of excitement in his heart.
This system is really awesome, and the rewards are really generous!
He put forward his request without thinking: "I want to improve my photography ability and dialogue ability to the highest level."
photography!
Lines!
These two skills he decided to improve after careful consideration.
In fact, there has always been a question in the industry: Is film an art of directing or photography?
The former is responsible for directing the actors, and the latter is responsible for controlling the screen. The two seem to be equally important, but they are also highly controversial.
Without the guidance of the director, the actors cannot perform as they should, and naturally they cannot produce good works.
But without the efforts of the camera, high-quality images cannot be presented, and naturally, good works cannot be produced.
But according to the current unspoken rules in the industry, the director must be the most important person in the crew.
This can be seen when attending award ceremonies. When receiving awards, the director usually receives the award, while the cameraman can only look on with envy.
This is why many people who originally worked as photographers gradually transformed into directors for the sake of honor and status.
However, in Chen Fei's view, there should be a "mutual complementarity" between the two.
Directors, cameramen, actors... everyone is giving their own strength and working hard for the work.
Every link, every person, and every position is indispensable.
As an excellent director, you don’t have to be proficient in photography, but you must have a lens language that you are good at.
Just like "Farewell My Concubine" by Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei.
This is an excellent result of the joint efforts of the director and cameraman!
The reason why Chen Fei chose to improve his "photography" skills was to cope with the upcoming 3D and IMAX era.
This is a new field that requires new technology and new camera methods!
For example, the 3D shooting technology of "Inception".
To put it simply, two cameras are set up at the same time to simulate human left and right eyes for shooting. They will independently shoot two channels of video images. When a movie is shown in a cinema, it is equivalent to showing it through two projectors. The two channels have subtle differences. Different images are projected on the screen at the same time, and then a three-dimensional effect is created through 3D glasses.
It’s easy to understand, but this shooting method is currently only popular in Hollywood, and there are only a handful of camera operators who are proficient in this skill.
As for domestic…
This kind of technology is not available in the country at all!
According to the domestic film market, it is very difficult to make a Category A production, let alone 3D.
And now, Chen Fei will become the first director to reap dividends.
Although he will not personally carry the camera on the set, he can appear as a camera director to guide the camera operators to shoot and capture the images he wants.
Directors must ensure that they are versatile!
As for the second "line" skill.
Sound stage form is an essential skill for actors.
Now that the performance skills have been improved, the "line" skill, which is second only to the "performance" skill, naturally cannot be left behind.
He was really envious of Wang Zhiwen's dialogue skills. If he could have that ability, how great would it be to go to Europe to win three gold medals and win a few Best Actor Awards?
European triple gold director + European triple gold actor, this combination is unmatched even in the world!
Soon, as the skill selection ended, the system immediately gave new prompts.

Comprehensive evaluation: The male silver is still 5 steps away from becoming a god!
"Are you still five steps away from becoming a god?"
Looking at the system's comprehensive evaluation, Chen Fei was slightly stunned.
What does it mean?
After completing the eight extreme challenges, can you really become a god?
In a daze, he had reached the shore, and the Red Bull staff quickly threw out the towing rope and pulled him ashore.
Flory rushed up to him with excitement and gave him a big bear hug.
"Oh! Fei! You are so cool! Many times I thought you would never come back, but I didn't expect you finally came up from the water."
"It's just so-so, it's just Xiaoku." Chen Fei was also very happy and joked with him happily.
Li Hongwei, who was next to him, also came over to interview him.
"Director Chen, is there anything you want to say to the audience in front of the screen?"
After pondering for a while, Chen Fei slowly said: "Life is endless, and movement is endless."
In front of the screen, the audience watched happily.
"Hey? Look at this person's consciousness. No wonder he was elected as the Olympic torch bearer. He is a natural sports spokesperson!"
"Why doesn't Director Chen go to the Olympics? With his physical fitness, wouldn't it be easy to win the championship?"
"Stop making trouble. If he goes, the Olympic Organizing Committee will have to change the rules of the competition."
"Pfft, this should be the legendary dimensionality reduction strike!"
"Hahaha, he can't go, hurry up and make a movie for me. I can't wait to see "Kung Fu Panda" in the second half of the year."
After finally saying hello to the camera, this broadcast ended.
Red Bull will release edited versions of today's scenes, but these have nothing to do with Chen Fei.
After saying goodbye to Flory and the Red Bull staff, he boarded the plane back home and prepared to start his next job.
"The Embalmer" is ready to be launched.
On the other hand, "October Siege", the first movie released after Golden Harvest was acquired, will also have its premiere in the capital. As the screenwriter and boss, he will also be present to participate.
…
When he went back, a group of people from the Sports Bureau took the same plane with him.
There happened to be a small leader of the publicity department in the team. Chen Fei suddenly remembered something that he had always wanted to ask for a certificate before, so he went ahead and got it.
"Director Xu? How did we arrange the Olympic torch bearer? Someone informed me a long time ago to pass the torch, but it has never been decided that I will pick up the baton?"
The relay of the Olympic torch has started in March, and according to information published online, it has now arrived in Bangkok, Thailand.
It will officially enter Hong Kong, the mainland, in May, and then it will be passed on until August, until the main torch will be lit directly on the night of the opening of the Olympic Games!
Judging from the news released in recent months, many celebrities have participated in this torch passing.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei and others will arrive in Sanya on May 4 to carry out the torch relay.
But the time and place of Chen Fei's relay have never been decided, and the Olympic Organizing Committee has never contacted him. As a result, he is now very confused. He will not be removed from the Olympic torch relay team. Delisted?
"I don't know much about this matter. The Olympic Organizing Committee has a professional team in charge. You should ask Zhang Yimou. He will probably know the inside story."
"Okay, I'll give him a call and ask him when I have time."
Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, this matter was really troublesome.
After getting off the plane, he kept thinking about this and called Lao Mouzi directly.
"Dududu..."
After a busy tone, a message "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable" sounded on the other side.
"Busy?"
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and without thinking much, he put the phone in his pocket.
However, just when he arrived at the funeral home where Ning Hao and others were, Zhang Yimou suddenly called back.
"Chen Fei? What's the matter?"
"Oh, it's okay. I just wanted to ask the Olympic torchbearers how they arranged the matter? No one has responded to my message. I thought I would ask you first so as not to delay the business."
"Torchbearer? Just wait. We are currently voting for the last relay person, and you are also on the candidate list."
The last stick?
Chen Fei was stunned immediately.
What does it mean? Do you want me to fly up and light the last big torch?
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life in 2008, the last relay person seemed to be the "Prince of Gymnastics" Li Ning!
"I will notify you as soon as there is news. The final successor will probably be selected in July. You don't have to worry. Even if you are not selected, you will be arranged to take over in the capital at that time."
"Okay, then get busy."
Chen Fei responded and was about to hang up the phone.
But at this moment, Zhang Yimou suddenly changed the topic: "I'm currently working on a script. After the Olympics, can we find time to chat?"
"Okay, give me a call when you have free time."
As he spoke, Chen Fei began to look through the memories in his mind.
He vaguely remembered that Lao Mouzi only received the title of "National Master" after the Olympic Games, but then he made a film with "no scenes, no suspense, and no jokes."
For a moment, he couldn't remember what the movie was called. Anyway, he remembered that the "Best Director" award at the first Golden Broom Awards was taken away by Zhang Yimou.
…
When they entered the funeral parlor and saw Ning Hao and others, they couldn't avoid a burst of noise.
After chatting with a few people for a while, Chen Fei looked at Ning Hao and asked, "Will the phone be turned on tomorrow?"
"Well, since you're back, let's finish the filming sooner rather than later. This will save you having to run around again in the second half of the year."
"Okay, let's make it tomorrow."
"Where's the launch conference?"
"Forget it, just invite a few familiar media and hold an on-site press conference."
The theme of the movie "The Embalmer" is quite special, and Chen Fei didn't want to make too much noise. After all, many people still have a deep sense of awe when facing "death"!
The next day, Su Guohai called him again, saying that the Hundred Flowers Awards had begun sending invitations to major film and television companies in the industry, and "Mulan" was among them.
"I don't have time to go. I have to go to the Saturn Awards when the time comes. You can apply for "囧囧" and let Ning Hao go on behalf of the company."
The organizers of the Hundred Flowers Awards also include members of the China Film Group Corporation. If they refuse directly, it will not look good on everyone.
Chen Fei doesn't want to be used as a role model, and his original intention is not that he doesn't want to unite, but the key is that the judges of the Hundred Flowers Award have become more and more cheating since they changed people!
Fortunately, Ning Hao acted as a shield and allowed him to attend the award ceremony on behalf of the company, which was a way of giving them face.
The director of a commercial film with a box office of 500 million yuan has gone, what else do you want?
Although the launch conference of "The Embalmer" was not a grand one, reporters and media in the circle were still present in large numbers.
Two of the country's top commercial film directors actually collaborated on an artistic film. This operation is quite interesting.
And according to Chen Fei's "script-wise" characteristics, this movie is probably going to win awards again!
Everyone is not a fool. It can be seen from Ning Hao becoming the director that Chen Fei is going to start building a golden body for him.
At the press conference, reporters surrounded Chen Fei.
"Director Chen, do you have any special expectations for this movie?"
"Get the prize."
Chen Fei's words are concise and concise, expressing his true intention directly.
The reporters were still a little uncomfortable with the sudden honest speech, and it blocked many people's thoughts of digging holes.
But soon, another reporter found a new breakthrough.
"As a director, you are indeed the best in the industry, but as an actor, do you think you can win the trust and support of the judges of major domestic and foreign awards?
It is reported that since you entered Nortel, you have rarely appeared in classes in the Department of Performance. Even after you were promoted to graduate school, you have never participated in any courses at the school. Does this go against your status as a graduate student in the Department of Performance? "
These two questions were so sharp that for a moment, the scene was completely silent!
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the reporter who asked the question.
"Have you known about entertainment before?"
Unfortunately, Chen Fei has never heard of this newspaper. It should be a small entertainment newspaper.
However, the questions raised by the other party made him think a lot.
Some time ago, Zhu Yawen revealed a piece of news to him, saying that Wu Kebo was secretly inquiring about some inside information about his school days.
Now it seems that that guy is probably doing things behind his back.
Questioning his status as an actor and a fresh graduate student in the acting department?
Doesn't this just hit the muzzle of the gun?
Chen Fei smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about this. After the movie is filmed, the judges will naturally make a selection based on their professionalism.
And if I remember correctly, I seem to have the honor of being a Hundred Flowers Best Actor. How about you check it out on Baidu after the interview? Let’s see if this award is real or fake? "
Upon hearing this, the reporter's expression changed and he quickly lowered his head.
He knew that he would definitely not be able to take advantage of Fade Chen in terms of words, but as long as he could make what he wanted to say known to the public, others would naturally take care of it later.
The launch conference only lasted for one morning, and the filming started directly in the afternoon.
The progress on Tian Zhuangzhuang is slower. Wang Baoqiang is working hard to adapt to the role of "Tree". When his performance can be recognized by the director, it will be time to start shooting the movie.
…
"The Embalmer" has just been launched and is very popular online, and "The King of Kung Fu" has also started its final round of promotion in China.
The combination of Chen Long and Li Lianlian is indeed powerful. It grossed 23 million US dollars in its first week in North America and received rave reviews.
News keeps coming back from abroad, so that domestic audiences are looking forward to it.
The collaboration between Chen Long and Li Lianlian is indeed quite rare. Coupled with Yuan Heping as martial arts instructor, and the addition of Li Bingbin and Zhao Yanzi, it can be said that the lineup is strong.
In everyone's opinion, with such a strong lineup, the quality of the movie will definitely be great.
Perhaps the No. 1 domestic movie box office in the first half of 2008 will be "The King of Kung Fu"!
Many people in the crew were very interested in this movie, so on the 24th, Chen Fei and Ning Hao discussed it and simply took a day off to let them watch this long-awaited movie.
Shu Chang took the time to come to the crew and took Liu Yifei to the cinema.
"I don't want to watch it a second time." Liu Yifei looked confused. She really couldn't watch this movie.
"Let's go, let's go, go see it with me again, I don't want to go alone..."
Hearing her acting coquettishly, Chen Fei joked from the side: "You can transform into a silly girl and put a cape behind her, and you two can fly to see her."
"Magic Phone" was the most popular TV series during this period, and it was also the TV series with the highest ratings in the same batch. The average ratings were 4%, and the highest single episode was 5.76%. CCTV provided a lot of promotion resources.
Shu Chang's Silly Girl is so classic. Chen Fei wanted to call her Silly Girl every time he saw her before, but the TV series has not been broadcast for a long time.
Now I'm fine, I can finally call her silly girl without any scruples.
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and giggled beside her, imitating the lines in the drama: "Chinese brand 2060 mobile phone, Sha Niu is at your service, please enter the power-on password..."
"Oh, stop reading it!"
Shu Chang immediately went berserk and forced Liu Yifei to leave the set.
…
Although he had a day off, Chen Fei did not sit idle and set off for the Magic City.
The team for "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" has officially begun, and the next step is to select the actors and set the shooting time. Cai Yinong called him and asked him to sign a sharing contract.
This part of the income has nothing to do with Feiyue Film and Television. It is regarded as Chen Fei's purely personal income, but the price is that he has to lead Tang Ren's contracted artists to make movies, and occasionally give Tang Ren a sip of soup.
Who to choose is not a choice?
It just so happens that he is very optimistic about Hu Ge, and he can make a lot of money by the way, so why not?
