98, "Baolian Lantern" audition invitation!

[Congratulations to the host for winning the blind box reward: Lucky Orange, the whole series of the script "Twilight". 】

"Yo?"

Standing on the roof of the building piled up with many sundries, listening to the prompt sound of the system, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly bloomed with a bright light.

Let's not mention the lucky orange, it's a lot more useful.

Turning danger into relief, auditioning for roles, and promoting fame......

There is nothing that cannot be imagined, and there is nothing that it can't do!

And after several verifications, Chen Fei also found that the more advanced the blind box, the better the effect of the lucky oranges opened!

As for the whole series of "Twilight", not to mention, this is a fantasy romance series of movies on the same level as "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" in American film history.

This movie is adapted from a film called "Twilight", which is very popular and has been warmly sought after by teenagers on the other side of the ocean.

In the previous life, Chen Fei read an entertainment report.

The Twilight adaptation of "Twilight" debuted and grossed $393 million worldwide.

The five "Twilight" films released between 2008 and 2012 grossed $3.3 billion worldwide.

The two characters of Bella and Edward profoundly show the beauty of adolescent romantic love, and they have attracted the attention of countless girls as soon as they were released!

Chen Fei was a little excited in his heart, if he could make this series of movies, he would definitely leave a strong mark in the history of global film!

After being stunned for a few minutes, the first time he came back to his senses, he immediately asked: "Is the copyright aspect settled?" ”

After all, this is a serial, and the author is still alive, so you have to be cautious in this regard.

Since entering the film and television industry, Chen Fei has been constantly reminding himself that "copyright" and "tax payment" must be meticulously implemented, and must not make mistakes on these issues.

The response from the system is fast.

[Ding, no need to worry about copyright, the relevant contract will be sent to the company within three days. 】

"Okay."

With a sigh of relief, his face once again bloomed with joy.

In the afternoon of the same day, after returning to Kyoto with the rest of the crew, Chen Fei took a taxi directly back to the company first.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning on the other side of the ocean, and Bruce was sitting in the corner of the crew, watching the actors under him from a distance filming hard.

When he received Chen Fei's call, he was still a little surprised!

"Fei, do you have a script again?"

"Yes, I've already sent you an email for the specific content, the old rule, go and register first."

So far, Chen Fei has asked Bruce to register himself with the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild three scripts, namely "Dead Silence", "Escape from Desperate Town", and "This Man is from Earth".

If you add the entire "Twilight" series, then the total number of scripts officially reaches eight.

The "Conquer Hollywood" plan is progressing gradually, and although the road ahead is full of uncertainties, the future is promising!

After a few words of greeting, Chen Fei took the opportunity to ask, "How about the company I asked you to help me find?" Is there a suitable one? ”

"No, not really." Bruce said bluntly: "There are too many independent studios in Hollywood, and there are not many that meet your requirements, but they don't have the idea of selling them at the moment. ”

Well?

Don't have an idea for sale?

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei said, "What if it can be acquired at an appropriate premium?" Isn't there anyone for sale either? ”

Premium?

Hearing this word, Bruce instantly came to his senses: "Fei, if you are willing to spend money, then I promise to help you find the right company within a week." ”

"It's a premium, not a lot of money!" Chen Fei added very seriously.

the money!

Although he did have money in his hands, why should he give it to those gringos?

What he wants to do now is earn the beautiful knives in the hands of those gringos!

"I can accept up to 1/2% of the premium, and I need to sign an agreement, and the company needs to transfer the employee contract to me at the same time.

Bruce, I'm not looking for a shell company, you know? I need the equipment inside to be intact and I need to have a professional operator. ”

"OK, OK, I'll do my best!" Bruce nodded quickly on the other end of the phone.

After transmitting the script to the other side of the ocean, it was not early, and Chen Fei simply slept on the company's sofa for a night.

Early the next morning, he sent the negatives of "Crazy Stone" back to school and handed them to Huang Yuying.

The editing of "Buried Alive" was completed by her, so Chen Fei of "Crazy Stone" was also handed over to her.

There are three reasons for this.

One is that this teacher's approach is quite professional.

The second is that Nortel itself has an editing room, and it just so happens that Chen Fei is coming back to class, and he can also help solve some details together.

The third is that he doesn't have to spend money, and the school will reimburse the editing expenses.

This is what Zhang Huijun promised him.

The 10 million was definitely not spent, only about 7 million was spent on filming, and as for the remaining 3 million, Chen Fei was ready to use it for publicity.

As a reborn, he knows how important pre-release publicity is for a movie.

The quality of the film is important, but the movie is also afraid of deep alleys, if the corresponding publicity can keep up, it should be no problem to refresh the box office record of "Buried Alive".

After leaving from Teacher Huang Yuying, he rushed to China Film Group non-stop that afternoon.

The movie is finished, and the editing will be done in half a month at most, so the next step is to apply for a release permit and choose a release time.

Inside Han Sanping's office.

Steaming tea filled the gap between the two.

Hearing Chen Fei's words, Han Sanping said indifferently: "When do you want it to be released?" You don't have to worry about the formalities, China Film will take care of it for you. ”

After thinking about it, Chen Fei asked curiously: "Are there any movies to be released in the first half of the year?" ”

At present, he only knows that Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World", Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", and Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" will be released in the second half of the year.

As for what films were made before June, he was completely blind to this.

"I'll ask you." Han Sanping picked up her mobile phone from the table and made a phone call directly.

After a while, his assistant walked in, still holding an A4 piece of paper.

Han Sanping first took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Chen Fei: "It's nothing in the first half of the year, most of them are literary films." ”

As he spoke, he pursed his lips.

The times are developing, and if you want the film industry to really get on the fast lane, you have to be the kind of commercial film that can make money and have a market.

As for these literary films, in addition to allowing directors and actors to win awards, they have no effect on the development of the film industry at all!

Chen Fei took the A4 paper and looked down.

Last month, that is, on February 10, "Baby in Love" starring Zhou Xun and Chen Kun was released, earning 15 million at the box office.

In March, it was "Beauty Grass" starring Liu Ye and Shu Qi.

In April, it was the movie "The South of the Clouds" starring Li Xuejian and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

In May, there was only one movie called "Warm", starring Guo Xiaodong and Li Jia.

Looking at it this way, there was indeed a bit of depression in the first half of the year, and four literary films were released in succession, and it is estimated that they could not break the box office record of 51 million for Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone" last year.

Chen Fei's heart moved, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the schedule in May.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered last year's "Buried Alive".

"Or ...... Make use of this May Day schedule again? ”

As he remembered, he continued to move his gaze downward.

Compared with "Crazy Stone", none of these domestic literary films can be beaten, but foreign imported films are different.

If it collides with a Hollywood blockbuster, it may be suppressed!

After taking a closer look at the introduction schedule, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.

At present, the only Hollywood blockbusters scheduled to be released in May are "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", and a disaster movie called "The Day After Tomorrow".

The former was released on May 31, and the latter was released on May 28, just a distance away from Labor Day.

Putting down the A4 paper in his hand, Chen Fei said directly: "Let's choose May Day." ”

"Okay."

Han Sanping responded indifferently, but then seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing: "What? Ready to challenge last year's "Buried Alive" box office record? ”

"That's an idea." Chen Fei did not hide his inner expectations.

"Confidence?"

"How do you know if you don't try? Maybe it's broken. ”

The "Mountain City Parkour" incident eventually made headlines on major portals and newspapers.

Most of them were amazed after watching it, and exclaimed, "Awesome!" ”

But some people have raised doubts: Is this kind of behavior suspected of violating public order?

However, before the heat of "questioning" started, Emei Film Studio and the relevant local departments responded at the first time.

"This act is a film framing act, which has been reported in advance and does not involve any illegal acts."

Zhongying, Shangying, and Emei made efforts at the same time to directly minimize the negative impact of this matter.

After greeting the reporters, the attention immediately focused on the four words "movie framing".

"Crazy Stone" has just been completed, is there a new plan?

There were all kinds of suspicions on the Internet, and Chen Fei hid directly in the school, ignoring these voices at all.

The reporters wanted to interview him, but they couldn't get into the Nortel campus.

Produced by Zhou Yi and starring Chen Fei, "Water Moon Cave Sky" officially premiered in Shenzhen on February 5.

The 30-episode TV series has been broadcast for half a month, and the audience response is very good!

Jiang Xuerou personally called Chen Fei and told him that the ratings were very good, and at the same time, she complained to him:

"The audience was very dissatisfied with Yin Tianqiu's death, thinking that his death was too abrupt, and even came to the company to ask me to resurrect Yin Tianqiu, and then shoot again."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back.

He didn't expect that he was going to play a cameo role, and he could cause such a "big" response.

The post-editing of "Crazy Stone" progressed very quickly.

There are no special effects in this movie, and the editing is not too difficult, plus Chen Fei will help from time to time, and the speed has increased a lot.

"When did you learn to edit?"

Watching Chen Fei skillfully cut the fragments and cut out some meaningless pictures, Huang Yuying, who was standing on the side, was full of confusion on her face.

Chen Fei's technique is not like a novice, and even in the application of some skills, even she, a professional editor, is ashamed to see it!

While busy with the work at hand, Chen Fei replied casually: "I'm very interested in this aspect, so I taught myself." ”

Huang Yuying: "??? ”

Boy!

It's the first time she's heard that editing is self-taught!

After working for several hours, seeing that it was dark outside, Chen Fei put down the work at hand.

As soon as I took out my phone from my pocket, I saw several missed calls.

In order not to be disturbed, he had been on mute just now, so he didn't notice that someone had called him so much.

He hurriedly replied to the other party.

"Toot ......"

After two rings, the phone was connected.

Chen Fei explained a little embarrassedly: "Brother Zhao, I'm really sorry, the phone is silent, I didn't hear your call." ”

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jian, who served as the action director of "Dragon Babu", replied nonchalantly: "It's not in the way, just ask if your schedule has been empty recently?" ”

Is the slot empty?

Thinking about the identity of the other party, Chen Fei didn't answer directly, but asked, "Is there any script that suits me?" ”

Zhao Jian is the kind of person who has a more cheerful personality, and he is not ambiguous, and replied directly: ""Baolian Lantern" will hold a large-scale audition meeting in Huairou Film and Television City the day after tomorrow.

After the leaders of the central station learned that we met, they wanted me to invite you to audition, I don't know if you have time? ”

Pauline lanterns?

Audition?

"Which role are they going to let me try?" Chen Fei asked curiously.

"The leader said, anyway, it's these roles in the script, you can pick it, and you can play that if you want to."

Ooh?!

Chen Fei's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt surprised.

Yang Ma is so optimistic about herself?
