143, 05 years! Blossom! Spring in the film and television industry?
On the afternoon of the 23rd, Chen Fei rubbed the ticket of China Film again and took the same flight with Han Sanping.
Although Bruce informed him that "Dead Silence" and "Get Out" were favored by Lionsgate and Universal Pictures, respectively, he was in no hurry to go to Hollywood.
There are still a lot of things in the country, at least you have to settle down at home first, so that you can have enough energy to run outside.
……
On the plane, Han Sanping looked at Chen Fei with a curious expression, "I heard that the global copyright of "No Man's Land" has been sold? Is it convenient to reveal? How much was sold in total? ”
Although the lawyer borrowed the person from China Film, it was illegal to disclose the content of the contract, so Han Sanping simply chose to ask him directly.
Chen Fei didn't hide it, and replied directly: "All the copyrights have been sold, and nearly ten filmmakers have sold a total of 39 million US dollars." ”
"Shhh
Han Sanping gasped violently, unable to hide the shock in her heart any longer.
"$39 million, more than 300 million?"
"Yes."
Chen Fei nodded slightly, his face was very calm, but his heart was also turbulent.
Made, this wave is simply profitable!
Han Sanping muttered with emotion: "I knew it would be like this, I should have invested a sum at the beginning, this yield is unimaginable in China......"
The investment of more than 4 million yuan was exchanged for a Golden Bear Award and an income of more than 300 million!
It is no exaggeration to say that he has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time he has encountered such an outrageous rate of return!
It felt like a dream, but it was real!
"Hu ......" let out a sigh of relief, and Han Sanping continued: "Following the wind of Golden Bear, it is best to put the release of "No Man's Land" on the agenda in the near future, which will also help the box office. ”
"Well, you're an expert in publishing, and I'll listen to you."
Chen Fei nodded.
But then, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked curiously: "I heard that Director Gu's "Peacock" has been released, how is the box office?" ”
"Peacock" box office?
The corners of Han Sanping's mouth twitched, and her expression was a little helpless: "Literary films, you don't know it, they are usually applauded or not."
After more than ten days of release, the box office reached 5 million, and if nothing else, it would have barely stopped at 10 million. ”
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, his eyes were quite complicated.
"No wonder Director Gu is so obsessed with film festival awards, investing 10 million and domestic box office 10 million, if you don't sell the copyright, I'm afraid you won't even be able to recover the cost."
"Isn't it......"
Han Sanping shrugged her shoulders and pulled the topic to "No Man's Land" again.
"The production cost of your film is not high, and with the Golden Bear as a supplement, it is estimated that it can rush up, at least the cost of the film and the cost of distribution I estimate that it can still be recovered."
Chen Fei smiled slightly, "Let's see when the time comes, maybe it can break 100 million." ”
"No kidding, this is not a commercial film."
"Hahaha!"
After laughing, Chen Fei directly opened a new topic.
I don't know when it began, in the eyes of all film practitioners, literary films with realistic themes have always been a model of applause.
Even those directors who focus on literary films think so.
Winning an award means losing the box office, which is a "fact" recognized by almost everyone.
Will this be the case with No Man's Land?
After winning the Golden Bear, will the box office stop at 10 million?
Chen Fei has a very bold goal in mind!
If as expected, he will once again refresh the three views of those "old pedants"!
……
After landing at the airport, Han Sanping subconsciously prepared to leave through the VIP channel, but when she turned her head, she saw that Chen Fei had walked to the other side.
"Hey? The sun is coming out in the west? When did the director take the initiative to get close to the reporter? ”
He followed with a curious expression.
As expected, the moment Chen Fei stepped out of the gate with the crowd, he was directly surrounded by the media.
"Congratulations to Director Chen for winning the Golden Bear, do you feel now?"
"Regarding the fact that the outside world calls you Zhang Yimou's successor, what do you think of Director Chen?"
"Some people in the circle have questioned whether the Golden Bear Award is fair and just, and how do you respond?"
"Lu Chuan's car accident ......"
“……”
All kinds of questions lingered in Chen Fei's ears, directly drowning him in the tide of sound.
If this is an ordinary person, in the face of so many microphones and lenses in front of him, I am afraid that he would have panicked at this time.
But Chen Fei seemed quite calm and replied in an orderly manner.
"No Man's Land is a very good film......"
"I myself have a good relationship with director Zhang Yimou, and "No Man's Land" can inherit the glory of "Red Sorghum", I am very happy to ......"
"The reason why "No Man's Land" won the Golden Bear is that it was voted by many professional directors......"
Listening to Chen Fei's response, Han Sanping nodded without a trace.
In four words, it is, "very sophisticated!" ”
But as he listened, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
It seems that no matter what these reporters ask, Chen Fei will always talk around the world, and finally bring the topic to the movie "No Man's Land".
It was only when he heard about Lu Chuan's car accident that he didn't do it.
After listening to it for a while, Han Sanping finally reacted, "Good boy, are you going to let these reporters be the mouthpiece?" Warming up for the upcoming movie release? ”
For a while, Han Sanping was suddenly a little speechless.
He finally discovered that Chen Fei's thinking was completely different from the others!
Journalists and paparazzi, who seemed to others to avoid, became his free coolies.
And even if these people are used, they are still happy, but one is happier than the other, and they all think that they have taken advantage.
"I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out......"
With a secret sigh, Han Sanping led a group of people out of the airport.
He has to find the old leader, this film is all Berlin Golden Bear, it should always be treated specially, right?
You can't chill the hearts of young people who are "forging ahead"!
…
After tossing at the airport for more than half an hour, satisfying the questions of these reporters, and gathering enough wool, Chen Fei finally left the exit.
Taxi, he went straight to Nortel.
The day after he got the Golden Bear, Lao Zhao called and asked him to bring the Golden Bear Trophy back to school as soon as he returned to China.
This time he didn't even make excuses, and directly and clearly stated that he wanted to use this trophy to hold 13!
The reason is very simple, at this time, it is during the Nortel art examination, and when this golden bear comes out, isn't it a stable drama?
The school leaders were more and more excited, if it wasn't for the inappropriate time, they couldn't wait to fly to Berlin to pick up Chen Fei.
…
The future of the film and television industry is becoming more and more clear, and various policies are also tilting towards this industry, so this year's enrollment is much higher than ever.
Taxis didn't even get close to the school gates, and students and parents were about to break the school threshold during the recent art exams.
"Tsk, thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge!"
The taxi brother parked the car and looked at the scene in front of him, his face full of amazement.
Looking at the crowded crowd outside the window, Chen Fei smiled, "The population base is large, and there are so many opportunities to get ahead, and competition is inevitable!" ”
When he left for Berlin earlier, the registration for the art examination had already begun.
I don't know who leaked the news, but the number of applicants for Nortel alone this year has reached nearly 10,000, but the school only plans to recruit 30 undergraduates in the performance department.
What is the concept of choosing only 30 out of 10,000 people?
Chen Fei couldn't imagine that he only knew that the number of people who applied for Nortel that year was not even enough for 3,000.
It's only been three years, and the changes in the film and television industry have developed to such a point, if more time is given, I'm afraid it is not enough to describe it with "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge".
Pulling up the suitcase, Chen Fei walked towards the school by himself.
Because of the reason for wearing a mask, the people around him didn't find out that he was "Director Chen" who had just won the Golden Bear Award, and only thought that he was also a student who came to participate in the re-examination.
Coming to the school gate, Chen Fei subconsciously looked up.
Two banners are hanging at the top of the wide school gate.
The slightly narrower one at the bottom reads: "Warmly welcome the national art candidates to apply for the BJ Academy of Film Arts. 】
And the slightly wider banner at the top reads: [Congratulations to Chen Fei, a student from the 02 Performance Department of our school, for winning the Golden Bear Best Film Award at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival! 】
"Good guy, old Zhao Niupi! It's really a horse and does what it says! ”
Although he is used to being praised by the school for pulling banners, but now that it is during the art examination, won't the school be criticized by others for pulling banners for him with such fanfare?
Dragging his suitcase into the school, Chen Fei walked directly to the teaching building.
He'd have to ask, can he take the banner down?
I always feel that the impact is not too good......
I came to the door of Lao Zhao's office with a familiar car, and just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw that the door was open, and several teachers inside were picking and choosing on the table, and I didn't know what they were busy with.
After thinking about it, Chen Fei still raised his hand and knocked on the door frame.
"Knock knock!"
A crisp tapping sound suddenly resounded in the office.
Zhao Zhenyang glanced back, maybe because of Chen Fei's desire to wear a mask, he didn't recognize it for a while.
"Parents of students are not allowed to enter the teaching building, go to the re-examination area and wait, and we will issue ......a notice when the group comes out."
Lao Zhao's tone was not very good, it was estimated that he had been too busy in the past two days, and all kinds of bad things had caused him a headache.
"Teacher Zhao, I'm not a student's parent, I'm your student!"
While speaking, Chen Fei took off his mask.
Student?
"Don't go to class......"
Lao Zhao was about to scold, but as soon as he turned around, his face suddenly turned stunned.
"? Why didn't you kid run back without saying a word! ”
When he saw Chen Fei's face clearly, Zhao Zhenyang's face instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, and the A4 paper in his hand was directly brushed away.
At this time, other people in the office also discovered Chen Fei.
"Wow! The Golden Bear is back! ”
A group of people were instantly excited, throwing away the work in their hands, and gathered around one after another.
Zhao Zhenyang's face was full of eagerness, "Where's the trophy?" Take it out and I'll take a look, damn it, I've lived most of my life, and I haven't touched the Golden Bear Award yet. ”
"Don't worry, I'll get it for you."
As he spoke, Chen Fei opened the suitcase and took out the golden trophy.
As soon as Lao Zhao stretched out his hand, he snatched it with a "swish".
A group of teachers gathered around.
"Hey? Is this a real golden pimple? Or is it coated with a layer of gold dust on the outside? ”
"Do you need to ask? It must be real gold, it is one of the three major awards in Europe, Berlin, and it is not so stingy to use gold dust. ”
"What's your strange focus? This is a golden bear, regardless of whether it is real gold or fake gold, the meaning it represents is incomparable to ordinary awards! ”
“……”
A group of teachers stepped forward and surrounded him for a long time, and then pulled Chen Fei over and took pictures with him one by one.
After a while, news spread in the school that Chen Fei, who won the Golden Bear Award, returned to school!
For a while, teachers from various departments rushed over and directly blocked the entire corridor.
O Golden Bear!
Who can not love?
Although I don't have a chance to take it in this life, I can touch it as a wish.
Everyone here was taking photos one after another, and at the end of the corridor, Zhang Huijun, the head of the department, came over.
After snatching the trophy from Zhao Zhenyang's hand, he said with a serious face: "Let's get the re-examination list out first, this award can't run, and there is time to shoot." ”
As he spoke, he held the trophy in his right hand and grabbed Chen Fei's shoulder with his left hand, and took him downstairs directly.
The two walked forward as they chatted, and by the time they stopped, they were already outside the office door.
As soon as he pushed the door and walked in, Zhang Huijun hurriedly picked up the camera from the table, "Come, let's take a photo first." ”
Chen Fei: "??? ”
Good guy, I thought you were stable enough, but it turned out that you were also very fanatical in your heart.
After tossing for a while, Zhang Huijun's desire to show off was finally satisfied.
Putting the camera on the table, he turned around and poured a cup of tea for Chen Fei, and then he talked about another purpose of bringing Chen Fei to the office,
"The first examination of the art examination has passed, and there is only the re-examination and the final examination, and it just so happens that you are back to school, so follow the other teachers to be judges."
Be a judge?
Chen Fei frowned, "Is this appropriate?" I'm a student myself. ”
He didn't resist being a judge, and vaguely remembered that the 05 level of the acting department seemed to be half a star class, just enough to recognize the younger brother and younger sister (tool man), maybe he would be able to use it for filming in the future.
"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Huijun pointed to the Golden Bear trophy on the table, and said solemnly: "With this thing, you can at least hang a professor title after graduating from graduate school." ”
Graduate student???
Chen Fei looked confused, "But I haven't applied for graduate school yet!" ”
Zhang Huijun waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, I have already reported it for you, and then you can choose a professor, and then talk to me, and I will transfer the information to him." ”
"But ......"
Chen Fei wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Huijun:
"Don't worry, you know that you are afraid of trouble, and you don't need to go to classes and exams when you go to graduate school, you can do whatever you want, and the school will let you graduate smoothly."
“……”
This set of rhetoric directly confused Chen Fei.
You don't have to take anything, you don't have to take classes, you don't have to take exams, you go directly to graduate school, and you can be a professor after graduation......
Not to mention, this feeling of being taken all the way is really fucking cool!
Chen Fei was still thinking about whether to graduate directly after the end of his senior year, or to continue his studies?
But now, he doesn't need to worry about this thing at all, the school has already arranged everything for him.
Staying in school with the title of professor, and not having to take classes, is much better than graduating directly and leaving school!
After becoming a professor, he can enjoy all kinds of benefits, hidden policies, school resources, awards, etc.
And all he has to pay is to put his name on the school.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome to the director." ”
"Haha, don't bother, go back and rest first, remember to come over on time tomorrow, I'll go and say hello to the others later."
"Okay."
Chen Fei answered, took the trophy handed by Zhang Huijun, pulled the suitcase and went back to the dormitory.
It's the second half of the third semester, and almost all the classmates in the same level have gone out to film, and the dormitory is empty.
After cleaning up briefly and taking a shower, Chen Fei lay down on the bed directly and began to suffer from jet lag.
He was originally going to sleep on the plane, but Han Sanye seemed to be chattering, pulling him along the way and talking non-stop, directly depriving him of his rest time.
When I woke up, it was already half past ten in the evening.
After simply making some fast food and filling in his stomach, Chen Fei turned on the computer and began to check the recent news in the domestic film and television industry.
As expected, the headline on the front page was the news that he had returned to China and was interviewed by reporters at the airport.
Scrolling further, he soon found the news he was looking for.
The first round of broadcast of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was launched on Shancheng TV, which has ended, and the ratings of local stations are as high as 11.3%, which is rated by the media as opening a new era of ancient costume fairy.
Chen Fei briefly looked at the comments of those game fans in the post bar.
As expected, the wave of people who scolded the most ruthlessly before will become die-hard fans one by one!
Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru, Anu, Tang Yu Xiaobao......
Recently, in the film and television drama industry, these people are simply half the sky!
The filming of "The Condor Heroes" is still in progress, Zhang Dabeard is rubbing here and there, and recently he started to compare "Zhao Linger" with "Little Dragon Girl".
At the same time, Chen Fei was also regarded as a hype object by him.
What is the grievance and hatred with Liu Yifei, the crew started to stand on the platform for Xiaolongnu and competed for the opportunity to play the role of "Yang Guo......
"Damn, this beard is getting more and more shameless!"
A little speechless complained, Chen Fei continued to look down.
"Baolian Lantern" announced the premiere time and was scheduled for October 4th, which will also start to release some on-set tidbits.
In addition to the above two films, domestic TV series such as "Bright Sword", "New Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer", "Little Fish and Flowers", "No. 1 in the World", "Family with Children", "Seven Fairies of Joy" and other TV series have gradually opened the publicity mode.
"Great! Blossom! The heyday of domestic TV dramas! ”
Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The filming of "Bright Sword" has ended, and he doesn't care about what the post-production and premiere prices are selling.
Professional things are left to professional people, and he needs to sit at home and wait to count the money.
As for whether it will be compensated......
Stepping on the horse, if "Bright Sword" can lose money, he will recognize Chen Kaige as his father!
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the TV drama industry in Taiwan Province also ushered in a blooming moment in 05.
"The Prince Becomes a Frog", "Mischievous Kiss", and the first part of "The Ultimate Class" that Chen Fei likes very much, these are all very good TV series.
Then turn your attention back to the movie, what "Wuji", "Myth", "Seven Swords", "The Great Sage of Love", "Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone", "Slaying the Wolf", "Initial D"......
It doesn't matter if the filming is finished or not, the news on the Internet is overwhelming!
Looking at these news, Chen Fei was inexplicably a little excited.
"Wouldn't it be a pity not to participate in such a big event?"
After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Ning Hao's phone directly.
"Senior brother, I have a very good script here, are you interested in becoming a director?"
Ning Hao: "??? ”
I have a question for you.
In 06, which big-budget movie can surpass the city full of golden armor and night banquets, which one is more suitable?
The kind of big production with high pressure, please recommend
