"Mr. Han, Mr. Ren, Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye, Director Huo, Mr. Xu, haha, warmly welcome everyone to visit my small company."

In the conference room, Chen Fei warmly received several giants and representatives in the domestic film and television industry so far.

It is no exaggeration to say that these people in front of them can completely determine the rise and fall of the domestic film and television industry!

And the reason why he brought them together was because he wanted to play big.

If it succeeds, it will be another miracle event!

Wang Changtian of the light laughed: "Mr. Chen, although your company is small, there are big people living in it!" ”

Just after the first half of 05, the investment income ranking of the mainland film and television industry has been released.

According to statistics, Chen Fei's Feiyue Film and Television Company directly crushed Huayi with a "No Man's Land" and confirmed the title of "the most profitable company" in the film and television industry.

Not to mention 04, a stone and a racing car directly established Chen Fei's identity as a top director in China, and at the same time allowed him to successfully sit first in the list of film and television investment returns.

What is this concept?

This means that the 21-year-old college student in front of him can already be on an equal footing with the CEOs of film and television brokerage companies who have been in business for many years.

Now, he has broken into Hollywood and become a partner of Universal Pictures.

The filming of "People in Embarrassment" has just been completed, and this person has made a new movie, how can they not be hot?

In the previous productions, Chen Fei has always been playing with China Film, Shanghai Film and the eight old film studios in the mainland, which makes Guangguang, Bona, and Wanda very envious, but they are helpless.

As soon as the "Chinese Partner" had signs this time, the three of them came up in a hurry.

Originally, they thought that Chen Fei would not take them to play this time, but they never expected that they would receive an invitation!

That's a good sign.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that after coming to Chen Fei's company today, they found that more than half of the film and television companies in the domestic film and television circle came!

What the hell is he trying to do?

…

Several people sat down at the conference table, and some employees intimately handed them hot tea.

"This is my new script."

Chen Fei smiled and distributed the script of "Chinese Partner" to several people present.

Taking advantage of the gap between everyone reading the script, he explained on the side: "This is a story created with the three founders of "New Oriental" as the background.

The content has been affirmed by Mr. Xu, Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang of New Oriental, and today Mr. Xu is here as a representative. ”

Founded in 2001, New Oriental has not yet reached the time to go public, but its status in the domestic education industry is already very high.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's New Oriental is completely the "Yellow PU Military Academy" in the education and training industry, and has an irreplaceable position in the college student community.

Therefore, the script created based on these three people does not have to worry about not having a sense of substitution.

…

After spending half an hour reading the script, Bona's Yu Dong took the lead in saying: "Director Chen, I won't say anything superfluous, just say how we can cooperate this time." ”

Chen Fei's ability has been verified by the market.

Three movies have grossed over 100 million, Golden Bear Award winners, and Hollywood certification......

It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Chen Fei shouts the five words "I need to invest" now, even if he doesn't see the script, a bunch of people will rush up to send money!

Is there a shortage of money for Feiyue Film and Television?

There is no shortage.

What's more, with the two companies of China Film and Shanghai Film, there is no need to worry about not being able to attract investment at all.

So he called so many companies over today, there must be other purposes!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Chen Fei smiled slightly, "It's very simple, I want this movie to have a double harvest at the box office and awards, Golden Statue, Golden Horse, Hundred Flowers, Golden Rooster, Huabiao, I have to try it!" ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, except for Han Sanping, everyone else present gasped.

Boom!

This game of chess is a little bigger!

Ren Zhonglun's first thought was to question, "This... Is this possible? ”

Chen Fei, "Things are man-made, and when the ending does not appear, everything is possible." ”

He was also unambiguous and said bluntly: "The reason why I invite you to come here is to let everyone contribute together, I will contribute the content, you will contribute resources, enjoy the benefits together, and receive the fame together, after all, win-win cooperation has always been my motto."

The script, shooting, and production are all handled by me, I account for 30%, and as for you, you will share 10% each, let's try to cooperate once.

If the process goes smoothly and the results meet expectations, it will also lay a solid foundation for our long-term cooperation in the future."

Of course, if anyone doesn't want to, then I don't force it, just get up and leave now. ”

After speaking, Chen Fei slowly sat down, waiting for everyone to make a choice.

Unsurprisingly, none of them chose to leave.

Everyone is not stupid, and the quality of the script can be seen.

Even if he can't win various awards like Chen Fei said in the end, he definitely doesn't have to run away at the high box office!

This is destined to be a transaction that will not lose money, and it can also successfully connect with Chen Fei and lay the foundation for future cooperation, and the fool will choose to leave.

Huo Wenxi took the lead in getting up and said: "I believe Director Chen, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, and the emperor here at the Academy Awards will definitely not slack off." ”

There are three qualifications for participation in the Academy Awards.

One: The director is from Hong Kong.

2. Among the investors are Hong Kong film and television companies.

Three: There are more than six Hong Kong actors in the film.

As long as you meet two of the above conditions, you can participate in the selection of the Academy Awards.

This is also the reason why Chen Fei asked Emperor to join.

As Huo Wenxi took the lead in expressing his position, several other people suddenly couldn't sit still, and they all got up and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

is a profitable and loss-making deal, and can also make friends with Chen Fei, a cutting-edge director in the business district......

Only a fool would refuse!

…

The reporters were still waiting outside the company's door, and they squatted until 12 o'clock at noon, when they saw a group of bigwigs walking out.

Someone tried to go up for an interview, but was stopped by the bodyguards.

The news about the cooperation of "Chinese Partner" was not immediately leaked, after all, it was just a verbal agreement.

Chen Fei has already agreed with the CEOs of several companies that a press conference will be held when the contract is officially signed to spread the news of cooperation.

Although this is not a big production, the film has a different meaning, and it can be cooperated in the name of creating the "Chinese dream".

As expected, in the afternoon, the front pages of the three major portals were blown up!

[Explosion: Chen Fei, chairman of Feiyue Film and Television and a famous cutting-edge director, met with the giants of major film and television brokerage companies in the company this morning. 】

After the news report came out, for a while, countless rumors flew all over the sky.

Some people say that Chen Fei is going to make a big production, some people say that these companies will carry out strategic cooperation, and some even say that Chen Fei participated in a special effects blockbuster produced by Class A in Hollywood, but because of insufficient funds, he invited many companies to cooperate.

With the breaking of these news, the popularity of "Initial D" was suddenly suppressed, and the popularity of the movie cooperated by Huayi and Feng Xiaogang also dropped sharply.

Seven film and television brokerage companies, plus a New Oriental ......

It's about to take off!

The door of the company was crowded with reporters, and a steady stream of phone calls came in, and many people were asking whether Chen Fei had a new film plan and whether there were any reserved role places?

Chen Fei directly turned off his mobile phone.

Bother!

He doesn't really like to do any interviews for actors, because after the script appears, the main roles that are suitable are almost already decided.

As for those supporting actors, just let Ning Hao find them himself, he didn't have time to care about so much.

Of course, in the end, when deciding on the actors, Chen Fei still had to go through Chen Fei's decision, and he didn't want the film he worked so hard to make to be taken off the shelves due to someone's influence.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the same day, Wanda's vice president Ye Ning brought him a little girl.

"Director Chen, let me introduce to you, this is a signed artist from a friend of mine, her name is Jing Tian."

"Director Chen, good."

The little girl was a little shy, and after saying hello timidly, she stood quietly beside Ye Ning and secretly looked at Chen Fei.

She knew who she was going to see before she came.

Chen Fei, the second domestic director of a commercial film with a box office of 100 million yuan, the winner of the Golden Bear Award, and a partner of Universal Pictures Hollywood......

His resume is so rich!

The most terrifying thing is that he is only 21 years old this year, which is only 4 years older than himself.

Jing Tian?

Rich flowers in the world?

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and carefully looked at the little girl in front of him.

is very beautiful, not the kind of delicate, fresh and refined beauty similar to Liu Yifei, but a quiet and gentle beauty similar to the ancient "ladies of all the people".

"yes, you're good."

Chen Fei nodded with a smile, then set his eyes on Ye Ning, and said bluntly: "Mr. Ye, the main actors have been decided, and there is no role suitable for her." ”

He subconsciously thought that Ye Ning wanted to push this to be the heroine of the movie.

Let's not mention the acting skills or anything, the age is not suitable at all, there is no role suitable for her in this movie, not even a supporting role.

"Director Chen misunderstood." Ye Ning hurriedly explained: "Jing Tian is currently just a newcomer, and the company decided to let her debut as a singer. ”

Singer?

Chen Fei was a little confused, "And then?" I don't know how to write songs. ”

"We wanted to find a director to shoot a music video for her."

"Looking for me?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not." Ye Ning smiled wryly: "Director Chen is really good at joking, you are a Golden Bear Award director who directs Hollywood blockbusters, how dare we invite you." ”

The corners of Chen Fei's mouth rose slightly, "If you can afford the price, it's not impossible." ”

"Oh?" Jing Tian suddenly interjected: "How much is Director Chen's directorial fee?" ”

"6 million."

The moment this number appeared, Ye Ning and Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seem... Isn't it a lot?

But then, Chen Fei added two words with a smile, "Dollars." ”

“……”

The two fell silent.

6 million US dollars, which is 48 million when converted into RMB?!

Spend half a billion to ask a director to shoot a MV? Not to mention that she Jing Tian is just a newcomer, even Zhou Jieyan would not dare to do this.

After being silent for a moment, Ye Ning made his intentions clear: "I want to ask Director Ning Hao to do me a favor." ”

"Okay." Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders with some disappointment, "I'll send you his phone number, you can contact it personally, he can decide on this aspect of the business himself." ”

"Okay, thank you Director Chen."

After thanking him, Ye Ning added: "In Director Chen's new movie in the future, if there is any role suitable for Jing Tian, please let me know, I will call her to audition." ”

"Okay."

Nodding, Chen Fei sent the two out of the company.

…

As soon as the verbal agreement on cooperation is agreed, time seems to press the accelerator button.

In a blink of an eye, the 25th arrived.

"Qinghong" has completely given up struggling, and only a few hundred thousand box office is left every day.

The popularity of "Initial D" is still flourishing, and in six days, the box office has exceeded 30 million!

Some people predict that if this increase is followed, the final box office is likely to break through the 100 million yuan mark!

When he saw this report, Chen Fei pursed his lips.

The consumption of the student group is indeed quite high, but no matter how high it is, there is a limit, it is inevitable to break through 50 million, but it is absolutely impossible to break 100 million.

Of course, these have nothing to do with him, and the most important thing at present is to get the signing conference of "Chinese Partner" done.

Counting his Leap Film and Television Company, the investors of this film have reached eight!

On the day of the signing conference, when Chen Fei announced the situation, the reporters at the scene were directly stunned.

According to the hottest speculation on the Internet now, these companies should have received the investment share of Hollywood blockbusters.

But I never thought that the reason why these companies cooperated was just for a feature film with an investment of only 40 million?

A reporter from Sina.com asked curiously: "Director Chen, is there anything special about this movie?" Why do we need so many investors? ”

Chen Fei responded with a smile: "I want to pull them to create the "Chinese Dream". ”

Many people expressed their incomprehension, but Chen Fei did not continue to explain too much, but left a huge suspense!

As for the heads of several other companies, when faced with reporters' questions, Ji Feng even played one to six, anyway, he did not disclose the specific content.

This is also what Chen Fei specially requested.

He is not going to carry out this movie in the usual publicity mode, but is ready to cover it tightly, and wait for the day of release for the audience to watch it with a strong sense of anticipation.

To create the Chinese dream, our generation should be self-reliant!

……

The signing ceremony lasted less than half an hour before it ended.

The reporters walked in and out with a confused face, looking at each other with a confused face.

What kind of launch is this?

What the hell did he post?

In the afternoon of the same day, when the details of the press conference were reported on major portals and entertainment newspapers, netizens who were full of expectations were also confused.

"Chinese Partners", a full eight investors, to create the Chinese dream.

All the news revolves around these three elements, but nothing is said about the specifics of the film.

What's this stepping horse posting?

For the first time, reporters from major portals and entertainment newspapers were abused and complained about by netizens.

Letting you go to the press conference is for you to get first-hand information.

It's good now, I didn't get half a sentence about the specific content of the film, and I only interviewed a script summary.

Who wants to listen to the script?

We need to know more!

However...... Just when the reporters flocked to the door of Feiyue Film and Television Company the next day, they got a piece of news.

Chen Fei flew to Hollywood overnight.

A group of reporters were furious!

"Horse-stepping, this is playing with us as monkeys? Playing around? ”

"Made! I can't be angry! I'm going to hack him for a wave! ”

"What's the black law?"

"Didn't you notice that Huayi was not among the investors this time? That's it. ”

"There it is! Wang Jinghua ran away and was suspected of joining Feiyue Film and Television Company, and Chen Fei and the two Wang brothers were completely at odds with each other......"

"Good! That's it! Find a few more angles to analyze in depth, and it will definitely cause a boom. ”

……

Just when a group of reporters were planning to "retaliate" against Chen Fei, he had already arrived at the Los Angeles airport.

It was still Bruce who picked him up personally.

“Fei？ Shall we go to the hotel first? Or go straight to Lionsgate headquarters? ”

"Go to Lionsgate."

As he spoke, Chen Fei took out the small jar he was carrying from his bag.

Unscrewed the lid and saw three sun-dried orange peels inside.

He put it all in the cup of water and waited for the color of the boiled water to turn a little yellow, and then he drank it all with satisfaction.

Immediately afterward, he took out another small jar from his bag.

He sighed secretly after pouring the water-soaked orange peel out of the glass and filling it all into another small jar.

The way of soaking in water is over, and when you are free, crush the orange peel soaked in water into powder, pour it into flour and make dumplings to eat.

System: "......"

“Fei？ You seem to like oranges? I bought some for you and gave them to you. ”

At a traffic light intersection, Bruce took a plastic bag from the back seat and handed it to Chen Fei.

It contained more than a dozen large yellow oranges.

"Thank you, Bruce, I don't really like oranges."

“？？？”

Dislike?

Bruce scratched his head in confusion, his face full of confusion.

I ate the flesh of the orange again, soaked the orange peel in water, and the orange peel was specially treasured after soaking in water......

And now you're telling me that you don't actually like to eat oranges?

"Huaxia people are really strange, they obviously like it very much, but they still want to say that they don't like ......"

Chen Fei looked at the Yankees who were muttering incessantly with some confusion, "What did you just say?" ”

"Oh, it's fine." Bruce quickly changed the subject: "Fei, why do you say Lionsgate is so keen on that "Dead Silence"? ”

This time he suddenly came back to Hollywood because of the script "Dead Silence".

Chen Fei was not going to sell "Dead Silence" immediately, he was going to wait for "Furious 3" and "Get Out of Desperate Town" to be released before selling.

At that time, he also has a lot of fame in Hollywood, and he can "open his mouth" to talk about cooperation with other companies.

Even if the selling price does not meet his expectations, he will shoot it himself, anyway, he has his own film and television company in Hollywood.

It's just that I didn't expect that Lionsgate seemed to want this script with all his heart.

From the initial buyout, to the 20% profit share, to the current 20% box office share......

Lionsgate is constantly making concessions.

Chen Fei was a little moved.

Since they want it so much, it is better to sell them the script and put their eggs in a few more baskets, which is also conducive to their own development in Hollywood.

No matter where you are, if you can gather a huge community of interests behind you, it will be conducive to future development.

And in addition to the cooperation with Lionsgate, other work had to continue.

Although he doesn't have the final editing rights of Super 3, he also needs him to assist in the editing process, especially some drag racing shots, and he needs to point out the particularly wonderful clips.

Moreover, the preliminary coordination work of "Escape from Desperate Town" has ended, and he is also needed to direct and shoot.

On the other side, Natalie is also preparing for the pre-filming of "This Man is from Earth" and is waiting for him to cast.

To sum up:

Busy!

It's very busy!

And more importantly, new tasks have been refreshed.
