171, "No Man's Land" was released, and the anchor between literary dramas and high box office was broken!
Coming to a maid restaurant, the four of them sat down and began to order.
The two girls looked around curiously, discussing which waiter's clothes were better, while Hu Ge sat solemnly, but his eyes were a little squinted.
"If you want to see it, what kind of decent gentleman is you pretending?" Chen Fei bumped his arm and smiled evilly.
"Ahem. Actually, it's not that I want to see it, it's just curious. Hu Ge's face turned red, still a little shy.
The meal was quickly served, and the hot and sexy maids stood on both sides, serving very diligently, serving tea and water, and taking care of everything.
Chen Fei was amazed, no wonder there were always people shouting that they wanted to find a Japanese girlfriend.
Who doesn't want to be served by others?
Compared with the shy Hu Ge, he was much more generous, chatting with the young lady next to him while eating.
He didn't talk about some very private questions, after all, there were two girls sitting in front of him, and he just casually asked if there were any popular movies in Japan recently.
It is no exaggeration to say that the director of Xiaori has an accurate grasp of this aspect of literary films!
At the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, they brushed and brushed, almost the most in Asia!
Especially in family ethics dramas, they seem to have a very unique understanding of this aspect.
What is the well, the well, the field, the mountain, the upper and lower, the forest......
Chen Fei doesn't understand what the origin of these surnames is, maybe this is also a manifestation of family ethics, I just hope they can always remain uncensored.
It's a shame to say.
Because of staying in a hotel, he didn't meet the neighbor's wife who got up in the morning to take out the garbage, nor did he meet the twin sisters who loved to learn, and he didn't meet the female staff in OL clothes who came to borrow the bathroom.
Overall, the trip to Japan was not very fun.
Next time you have time, you must come and buy a villa by yourself and be a landlord who loves tenants.
"Huh? By the way, Chen Fei, isn't the "No Man's Land" you filmed already in China? How's the box office? ”
The sudden sound in his ears drew Chen Fei's attention back from the maid.
His eyes were fixed on Liu Yifei, and he was a little surprised, ""No Man's Land" was released? ”
"You don't know?"
"I didn't pay attention!"
Chen Fei hurriedly took out his mobile phone, opened the calendar and looked, sure enough, today happened to be May 1st, and it was also the time when "No Man's Land" was released.
He hurriedly called Han Sanping.
This movie is promoted by China Film, why is there no letter after it is released?
…
There was no strong competition in the film market in May, except for an imported film "Star Wars III", which was also set for the nineteenth.
Therefore, as the Golden Bear Award film of the Berlin Film Festival, "No Man's Land" still has a high degree of attention.
Previously, many fans on major portals and forums have made predictions to discuss how much the final box office of this movie will be.
Unfortunately, even the most daring prediction is only 35 million.
Awards and box office cannot be both, this is already the inherent impression of fans of literary feature films.
Previously, "Peacock", which won the Silver Bear Award, was finally fixed at 10.5 million at the box office, which confirmed this fact.
It's just that with the recent news that Chen Fei went to Hollywood to co-direct Super 3 with Universal Pictures, served as the producer of "Get Out of Desperate Town", and cooperated with Yinghuang to shoot "Ip Man", his popularity in China has been high during this time.
Especially yesterday, the portal broke the news that Li Lianlian, Chen Long, and Zhou Xingchi rushed to Japan to make a cameo appearance in Super 3 to support Chen Fei.
For a time, the domestic film and television industry set off an uproar!
Many "critics" have spoken in newspapers and periodicals, saying that Chen Fei has become a general trend in Hollywood!
Chen Fei also read these news on the portal, but most of them were swept away and did not pay much attention.
Hollywood is on the move?
It's too early to say this, without one or two Golden Globe Awards, Saturn Awards, and Oscars, he is not a serious Hollywood director at all.
And if you want to mix in Hollywood, in addition to awards, the box office of the movie is also the key.
According to the current Hollywood film market, a box office of 100 million US dollars can be regarded as an admission ticket to the threshold of "big directors", and if you want to truly "become a big trend", you must at least direct three films with a box office of 100 million US dollars.
As for the Golden Bear, this can only be regarded as his vote for Hollywood.
The box office is the foundation of a director's real foothold!
The phone was quickly connected, but Han Sanping's voice was a little slurred, "Did you say "No Man's Land"? I didn't pay attention to it, I handed it over to the publicity and distribution department, and I will know the box office tomorrow morning, don't worry.
It's just a literary drama, and it is estimated that it won't get too high a box office, so just keep busy. ”
The sound over there was a bit noisy, and it was probably another banquet.
After a brief chat, Chen Fei took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Listening to the movement, it seems that "Wuji" is finished, and a finale banquet is being held.
I only hope that Chen Kaige's laughter can continue until the "steamed bun bloody case" appears.
After eating, they walked around the neighborhood again, and the two girls couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Yifei muttered in a low voice, "They wear so little and are so exposed, aren't they shy?" ”
Liu Shishi whispered on the side: "This is the work of others, I have heard from a friend that standing at the door to invite guests is not too much, and there are even more in it." ”
"Naked?"
"Almost......"
Liu Yifei covered her mouth in surprise, and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.
I saw that Hu Ge was still looking around there, with a surprised expression on his face from time to time, and he dragged Chen Fei to look at it together.
She felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and quickened her pace, "Let's go back, it's not too early, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest." ”
"I'll call a taxi."
Hugo withdrew his gaze and returned to his serious appearance once more.
Returning to the hotel, the time was not early, Liu's mother had been waiting in the hall, and she was relieved to see a few people return safely.
"In the future, try not to run too far at night, this is not a country after all, if something happens, it will be troublesome."
"Got it, Mom." Liu Yifei responded with a smile.
"Where did you go?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around the city, and it was quite prosperous at night."
After separating from a few people, Chen Fei returned to the room.
The filming of Super 3 is not over yet, but there is not much follow-up content, and it will be done in more than half a month at most.
After sleeping all day during the day and not being able to sleep for a while at night, he simply turned on his computer and began to write down his shooting plan for tomorrow.
…
At six o'clock the next morning, Chen Fei, who was asleep, was woken up by a rapid phone ringing.
grabbed the phone and looked, sure enough, it was Han Sanping calling.
"Chen Fei? Tell me honestly, is this movie a literary drama style or a commercial film style? ”
"Huh?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little confused, "Why did Mr. Han say this?" ”
As he spoke, he pulled up the pillow and put it behind him, ready to wake up first.
Han Sanping didn't ink with him, and said directly: "No Man's Land" has come out at the box office, guess first, what is the box office of this movie?" ”
"Ten million?"
"That's not right."
"More or less?"
"Less!"
Boy?
Ten million is still less?
Suddenly, the feeling of sleepiness in Chen Fei's mind disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an increasingly surprised emotion.
"You don't want to sell it, how much?"
Han Sanping took a deep breath and said slowly: "Because there are no blockbusters during the May Day period, I directly follow the maximum amount of filming for this movie.
I thought I could make a little money, but guess what? The national first-day box office reached 21.5 million!
If nothing else, this is another masterpiece with a box office of over 100 million, and your kid has truly achieved a double harvest of box office awards! ”
It's no wonder that Han Sanping is so excited.
You must know that the movie "No Man's Land" has almost no investment in publicity, and the exposure is completely supported by Chen Fei alone.
The Golden Bear Award did attract a lot of attention to this film, but everyone knows in their hearts that this kind of literary drama usually has a "didactic" meaning, so few people are willing to watch this type of film.
But "No Man's Land" broke this situation!
Han Sanping only learned after she woke up that the attendance rate of this movie was very high, and many fans watched it with critical thoughts.
They all want to know, what kind of movie can make this 21-year-old young director win the Golden Bear in one fell swoop?
And after reading it, everyone was stunned!
The film ...... It seems to be very different from the kind of literary drama in the traditional sense!
Chen Fei went on the forum and looked at the fans' evaluations.
Without exception, many people are full of praise after reading it.
"It's a very shocking movie, it's the first time I've seen this type of film, Made, there is no good person in it!"
"No wonder the name of this movie is "No Man's Land", it turns out that in the end, none of the actors are alive!"
"Through this movie, I can understand that if people are forced to a certain extent, they can really do anything."
"I suddenly thought of a previous interview with Lu Chuan, he said that he was the best in shaping the background of no man's land, but now it seems that he is completely rubbish!"
"Don't make trouble with the brothers upstairs, how does "Ke Ke Xili" compare with "No Man's Land"? The former only has two consolation prizes, while the latter takes the Golden Bear. ”
"Poof...... Brothers, I need to give you a piece of news, Lu Chuan also applied for the Berlin Film Festival, but he was brushed off in the primary selection stage. ”
"I still remember that guy held a few press conferences in a row just for Director Hei Chen, but now it's okay to slap his face!"
“……”
The dividends of the Internet era have begun to appear, and the word-of-mouth of "No Man's Land" is fermenting very quickly, and it will soon spread throughout the entire film and television circle.
A feature film, relying on showing the "darkness and distortion of human nature", has sprung up in the ranks of literary films!
"No Man's Land" broke the anchor between literary dramas and high box office!
For a while, major entertainment newspapers and magazines were busy, and various news pages were full of Chen Fei's name.
At the same time, even the copyright sales of this movie were exposed.
$20 million was sold in North America and $10 million in other regions.
You must know that the investment in this movie is only 4.5 million, and it was sold for 30 million US dollars!
Fifty-three times the yield!
And that's just the copyright!
Judging from the current box office results, there is no problem with the domestic box office breaking 100 million.
Even if it is counted less, this movie can at least bring Chen Fei a full 60 times the rate of return, and it also breaks the anchor point between "literary feature films and high box office......
For a time, the main pages of major entertainment news were full of words such as "genius", "miracle creation", and "unprecedented".
There were even some reporters who flew directly to Japan and blocked the door of the Super 3 crew, wanting to interview Chen Fei.
Romulo was a little stunned at first, what were these Chinese reporters rushing over?
However, when he heard that the reason for their coming was that the Golden Bear film "No Man's Land" was a big hit in China, he was immediately happy.
"Fei and I agreed on the rights for this film, and Universal Pictures is currently adapting the script for a Hollywood Western.
It's a very good movie, it's very much in line with the western style, and Fei's screenwriting ability is one of the few in Hollywood......"
After this wave of touting was transmitted back to China, it directly rushed to the front page headlines.
[Explosion: The North American copyright of "No Man's Land" was actually purchased by Universal Pictures! ] 】
[Great news, the North American adaptation of "No Man's Land" is underway. 】
[Universal Pictures producer Romulo said that Director Chen's screenwriting level can be ranked among the top ten in Hollywood! ] 】
Even if Chen Feiren is not in China, all kinds of news have pushed him to the "altar".
After the end of the May 17 holiday, China Film released the latest data.
"No Man's Land" has a total box office in seven days, 120 million!
In an instant, the entire film and television industry was a sensation again!
In addition to "Buried Alive", this is Chen Fei's third film with a box office of over 100 million.
And so far, he has won numerous awards!
And the two films "People in Embarrassment" and "Ip Man", which he co-wrote and invested, are also in full swing of filming......
Soon news came out that Chen Fei would officially sprint to the New Year file this time and fight head-on with Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and others.
The reporters who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement went to Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige respectively, and asked them if they would feel nervous in the face of the strong pursuit of their juniors?
Lao Mouzi ignored it directly, went directly into the editing room, and didn't accept the interview at all.
However, he called Chen Fei privately to congratulate him.
Brother Chen Kai is much more interesting.
Facing the reporter's question, he said with a smile: "It's a good thing that young people have courage, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing Director Xiao Chen's new movie."
As for the nervousness? This does not exist at all, "Wuji" is a masterpiece with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, this is a blockbuster that is different from all previous film styles, please look forward to it, this movie will definitely bring you a different shock! ”
Chen Fei saw this interview and almost went crazy.
It is indeed a blockbuster.
Steamed bun blood case, corpse-level blockbuster!
The kind that shocked you can't add more!
…
As time passed, the filming of Super 3 was finally coming to an end.
May is almost over, Star Wars III has officially landed in major theaters in China, and the schedule of "No Man's Land" has naturally been affected.
On the day of the release, the box office was finally fixed at 160 million.
The domestic media is boiling again!
A movie with an investment of 4.5 million not only sold $30 million in copyright, but also received 160 million at the box office.
This can no longer be described as "making crazy money".
This stepping horse is completely moving a money printing machine, printing money 24 hours a day!
However, a few days later, news came out in the circle, saying that Chen Fei, who was far away in Tokyo, had "again" submitted a film script to the General Administration, and it has now passed the review.
For a while, the major domestic film and television companies finally couldn't sit still.
…
Wang Zhonglei complained with a grudge on his face in the company, "Stepping on a horse, this guy is simply more productive than a sow, is he doing this?" One after the other? ”
It is no exaggeration to say that the profits created by Chen Fei alone in a single year are almost on par with Huayi.
Both brothers are going crazy now!
They have been operating Huayi for so many years, and the number of artists under them is the first in the country, and the company is also second to none in the country.
can step on the horse, just such a large film and television brokerage company, and the profit can't even catch up with Chen Fei alone?
Where is the reason for this horse-ridden?
Wang Zhongjun was a little irritable, and the recent incident with Wang Jinghua had caused him a lot of headaches, and he didn't have time to pay attention to other things.
"If you have time to complain here, you might as well find a way to contact him."
Wang Zhonglei was very depressed, "This guy turned off his mobile phone, and he can't contact ...... at all."
…
To be honest, Chen Fei himself didn't expect that the day after "Chinese Partner" passed the review of the General Administration, those domestic film and television companies were like cats that smelled fish, and they came up after smelling the smell.
In addition to those film and television agencies, all actors who have his contact information have also called and frantically promoted themselves.
In desperation, he simply turned off the phone.
The filming of "People in Embarrassment" has not yet been completed, and he hasn't even told Ning Hao about the script, so this group of people is in a hurry first.
"It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!"
Pouting, he fixed his gaze on Sina.com.
With the opening of the second half of the year, the silent film and television industry has finally begun to glow with vitality.
First of all, there is the good news from abroad.
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Best Actor respectively.
Just like Gu Changwei's "Peacock", this movie was also well received by the jury.
It's a pity that in the end, he only won back the jury award, and the best actor was also taken away by others.
However, there are still many people in China who congratulate them, after all, the Palme d'Or is not so easy to win, and it is very awesome to have a jury award.
There was also a photo posted on the headline, and Gao Yuanyuan, the heroine of "Qinghong", smiled like a flower.
The latest photos of the dress have caused a lot of discussion.
A group of wolf friends can't wait to pounce on it and lick the screen!
In addition, the major movies scheduled to be released in the second half of the year have also begun preliminary promotion.
"Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles", "Wuji", "The Great Sage of Love", "Slaying the Wolf", "Myth", "Seven Swords", ...... These are all very popular movies.
Of course, if you want to say that the most popular in the past few days, it is Dong Chou's "Initial D".
Many people are speculating how much box office will Dong Chou's transformation work receive?
Is it to fame in one fell swoop?
Or fall into the abyss?
In addition to the film industry, TV dramas have also begun to "bloom".
"Little Fish and Flowers" is on the air, the lineup is very strong, and the audience is still watching it very happily, after all, Jiang Yuyan has not officially started the tragedy.
At the same time, TV series such as "Seven Fairies of Joy", "Bright Sword", and "Baolian Lantern" have also begun to promote.
Among them, "Baolian Lantern" produced by Yang Ma is the most popular, followed by "Bright Sword".
This military-themed TV series was personally voted and starred by Chen Fei, and everyone was very curious, what kind of magic does this TV series have, and it can attract his participation?
…
It was June 5th.
Super 3 was finished, and Romulo and his team returned to Hollywood non-stop, ready to start post-editing immediately.
Chen Fei didn't follow them.
The crew of "Escape from Desperate Town" is setting up the scene, even if he goes back to Hollywood now, he can only stay in the hotel, so he might as well go back to China.
The filming of "People in Embarrassment" is over, and the post-production is handed over to China Film to be responsible, and it's time to continue to give Ning Hao some intensity.
The 6th was the day when Liu Yifei and Sony signed the contract, and a lot of media and reporters came to the scene.
Tianxian entered the music world, this is big news!
However, what the reporters who rushed to China did not expect was that at the signing ceremony, they also saw Chen Fei and Hu Ge.
As for Liu Shishi...... She was selectively ignored.
The reporters stopped Chen Fei and Hu Ge.
Someone asked why they were here?
Hu Ge silently stepped aside and gave Chen Fei the opportunity to speak.
"Liu Yifei also played a cameo role in Super 3, and it just happened that Super 3 was finished, so we came with her."
Not surprisingly, this interview once again appeared on the front page of major domestic entertainment newspapers.
Zhang's beard was wilted, and he took the already finished "The Condor Heroes" to rub a wave of popularity.
When Chen Fei returned to Nortel on the night of the 6th, news had already broken out on the portal that he and Liu Yifei had actually made a private decision for life as early as the filming of "Dragon Babu".
"?"
Chen Fei was directly stunned!
Why didn't he remember it?
