After participating in the viewing ceremony of "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", Chen Feishun took a trip to China Film.

"2012" has to arrange some people to come to Sichuan Province and the border in advance to set up scenes, which requires the cooperation and coordination of China Film.

"No problem, ask them to contact me when the time comes, and I'll say hello."

Han Sanping responded without hesitation.

Hollywood movies are filmed in China, which also stimulates the local economy to a certain extent, and can also promote the country by the way, no one will choose to refuse.

After saying hello, Chen Fei got up and prepared to leave.

But at this time, Han Sanping suddenly stopped him, "You kid has a bright brain, give me an idea, how should the mess of "Wuji" be cleaned up?" ”

"Uh..." Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this supposed to ask Director Kaige?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it!"

Han Sanping sighed, really depressed.

Now the Internet is overwhelmingly complaining about the sound of "Wuji", Chen Hong specially came to the company to let China Film control it.

But how can this thing be "controlled"?

His mouth grows on other people's faces, and no matter how powerful his shadow is, it is impossible to cover everyone's mouths.

And this kind of negative voice is emitted from both traditional paper media and Internet media, it is rare that the two sides can be so unified, and Wuji can be regarded as creating a myth!

It is also thanks to China Film that the scale of publicity and distribution has been stretched to the extreme, otherwise with these voices, the box office can be directly pressed to the bottom of the cliff.

Looking at Han Sanping's lonely expression, Chen Fei didn't say much.

It's not nice to say, this thing is obviously a piece of, but it treats the audience as fools, who can buy your account?

"What's the box office?"

"Just broke 100 million."

"Very good!"

A touch of surprise appeared on Chen Fei's face, there can still be 100 million under so much abuse and sarcasm, and Brother Chen Kai's reputation is still strong!

Han Sanping sighed, "That's because China Film has given the largest number of films, and the investment in this film is as high as 350 million, which is too far from the return on investment." ”

"That's right..."

The box office of "Wu Ji" is obviously more than enough but not enough, and the increase has fallen again and again.

On the contrary, "Chinese Partner" has risen quite well, and after more than half a month of release, the box office has steadily exceeded the 200 million mark, and the audience's response is very good.

The media also carried out a wave of reports, but unfortunately the black material of "Wuji" is too turbulent and has not yet aroused too many audiences.

Chen Fei felt that this was very good, and he made a fortune in a muffled voice, and he made this wave of money first.

"You can't help it?"

"Mr. Han, I'm not a god, and I didn't shoot that film, what can I do? Unless director Kai Ge can bring "Wu Ji" to the Oscar podium and win the best foreign language film, he is really powerless. ”

Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry, the mess made by Brother Chen Kai had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to get involved.

"Well, forget it, so be it."

Han Sanping sighed, showing her loneliness.

The money earned from "Chinese Partner" should be used to make up for part of "Wu Ji", so be it.

…

Leaving the China Film Building, Chen Fei called Columbia Pictures back, and then rushed to the airport again.

The filming of "Source Code" has reached the final third, and it will almost be over at the end of this month, just in time to go home and see the old man.

Chinese New Year's Eve must go to Hollywood again, and domestic affairs must be settled.

The promotion of "People in Embarrassment" has also followed in the past two days, and the last movie of the Chinese New Year file, focusing on the Spring Festival, has not received low attention.

Wang Baoqiang's military career has been very fulfilling, and the filming of "Soldier Assault" has also come to an end, and it is estimated that it will end in March next year.

Chen Fei was going to take some time to go over there.

The script of "Latent" has been reviewed and approved, and it is currently in the preparation stage.

Chen Fei selected a director from the list given by Tian Zhuangzhuang and asked him to cooperate with Ni Xuelin from the screenwriting team to be in charge of the TV series.

There were several reporters outside the crew, and after seeing Chen Fei coming back, they stopped and asked him what he thought of "Wuji".

The words "shocked" seem to be a compliment at first glance, but as the abuse on the Internet spreads, netizens suddenly read some different meanings from these four words.

"I'm busy, next time..."

Chen Fei chose not to be interviewed.

Not only him, but also the industry insiders chose to be silent collectively this time, and Zhang Yimou directly said "no comment", and the reporters had a toothache.

"Thousands of Miles to Ride Alone" has a good reputation, and there is no need for him to get involved in the muddy waters of "Wuji".

The 8-minute repetitive footage has ended, and most of the follow-up scenes are some exterior scenes, mainly about the chase and scuffle between Chen Fei and Sun Honglei.

"Director Chen, you can take it easy, I won't resist the beating."

"Haha, don't worry, this scene is you beating me, not me beating you."

The street fight clip of "Slaying the Wolf" made many people's hearts tremble, and the fight clip was really scary, and Sun Honglei was afraid of being beaten.

…

Many reviews of "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" have appeared in major media.

Nortel's professors have issued praises: "This is Zhang Yimou's return work, not that there is anything wrong with him making commercial films, but that this film has reached the heights that his previous literary films have reached." ”

A film critic in Japan even said: "This movie presents a world of simple folk customs, no bitterness, no hate, no anger, no helplessness, only very pure touching ......"

The person in charge of the Capital New Film Association Cinema publicly commented: "This movie gives the audience a kind of spiritual shock and emotional touch, which makes people feel a faint sense of warmth after watching it." ”

Although it is a pure literary film, the national box office has reached 22.05 million in three days after its release, which can be described as a double harvest of box office word-of-mouth.

Zhang Yimou's literary myth is still continuing.

Looking at these comments, and then looking at the abuse of "Wuji", the forced smile on Brother Chen Kai's face completely disappeared.

"What do these viewers know? It took me three whole years, and so much connotation was poured into the film, how could they understand it after watching it once or twice? ”

The thunderstorm is no longer enough to describe Chen Kaige's current situation, his family background and glory make him think that he will definitely be able to succeed.

But now, the appearance of "Wuji" slapped him hard!

As the old saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Olympic Organizing Committee held a press conference to announce the teams that were successfully promoted after the first round of competition.

They are: Zhang Yimou and Jack Morton joint team, Army Art Troupe team, National Song and Dance Team, Li Press team, and Evans Director team.

As soon as the news broke out, Chen Kaige's face turned completely black.

Netizens were even more shocked, this is only the first round, and the famous Palme d'Or director has been brushed out?

At the press conference, a reporter asked, "Why did Brother Chen Kai not advance?" ”

The spokesman looked calm and replied matter-of-factly: "Director Chen Kaige's plan is naturally very good, he was in excellent condition during the competition, and even recited a song "Wen Guanjun Recovers South Hebei" to express his warm emotions.

It's just that after careful consideration, he still regretted that he was not selected, after all, the position of director of the opening ceremony is not a film director, the key is to integrate into the collective ......"

Brother Chen Kai's family background is indeed quite strong, but which of the judges sitting above is not bigger than his rank?

The news came to light, and soon a message appeared on the forum.

"Brother Chen Kai? A little bard? ”

……

The collapse of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the film's reputation made Chen Kaige very depressed.

Half a month after its release, the box office reached 130 million, which can be said to have lost to grandma's family.

Even if there is still half a month of release in the future, as expected, the final box office will be 160 million or 170 million at the top.

On the other hand, on the side of "Chinese Partner", it was released for a full 20 days, during which there were still obstacles from films such as "Wu Ji", "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", and the Hollywood blockbuster "King Kong", but the box office still steadily exceeded 250 million, and even climbed all the way to 275 million!

Media reports are directly filled with major portals.

The mainland box office record set by "Hero" in 02 has finally been broken!

Many people are speculating whether this movie, which tells the Chinese dream and shocked countless post-70s and post-80s generations, can eventually exceed 300 million?

Ning Hao, who was promoting the release of "People in Embarrassment", was chased and intercepted by reporters.

"Director Ning, congratulations on officially entering the 200 million box office director club, officially breaking the domestic box office record set by director Chen Fei and director Zhang Yimou."

"Director Ning, what do you think about the fact that the box office is about to break 300 million?"

"Director Ning, according to your vision, is there any warning about the collapse of the reputation of "Wuji" in the same period?"

"What is the box office prediction for "People in Embarrassment"? Is it possible to set a new record? ”

"As one of the leading commercial film directors in China, do you have any other film plans for the future?"

One question after another was thrown in front of Ning Hao's eyes, making him inexplicably feel a strong sense of unreality.

Surpassing Chen Fei? Surpassing Zhang Yimou? The domestic box office broke 300 million?

This was completely unimaginable for him!

But it happened.

"Hoo ......"

Taking a deep breath, Ning Hao's sanity quickly returned.

He thought of Chen Fei's teachings, and he didn't hear any questions about "Wuji", but simply replied to other questions.

"Speaking of which, I am actually very lucky, I have been deeply involved in the literary film industry before, but I have repeatedly hit a wall, even to the point of selling my house to pay off my debts, but the appearance of Director Chen has become a beam of light in my life!

That "Buried Alive" won me the first important award in my life, and in the follow-up shooting, Director Chen hired me as the assistant director of each of his works, which greatly relieved the pressure on my life.

This "Chinese Partner" and "People in Embarrassment" are both works provided to me by Director Chen, and it is he who has helped me see the light in my life step by step, and see the future and hope......"

The interview quickly appeared on the front pages of major portals, but the headline was a bit reverie.

[Analysis: Director Ning Hao, a member of the new 200 million box office commercial film club, and the man behind him ......]

Chen Fei: "??? ”

At the same time, just when "Chinese Partner", "Wuji", and "Thousands of Miles Riding Alone" were fighting, Liu Zhenwei's "The Great Sage of Love" was also released.

【Journey to the West Part III】

The seven-word propaganda technique has attracted the attention of many people.

The media said that this movie will be a super dark horse for the Chinese New Year, and it is definitely another masterpiece with a box office of over 100 million.

Chen Fei took the time to go to the cinema to watch it.

As the first few sci-fi movies of the 21st century, there are many sci-fi scenes in "The Great Sage of Love", such as time travel, laser fierce battles, and extraterrestrial visitors.

The soundtrack of the movie was made by Tarshi Jean himself, and the release channels were all over Southeast Asia.

However......

The box office on the first day was less than 5 million.

After all, the super dark horse still failed to meet Bole, completely reduced to mediocrity, and the popularity dropped sharply, and began to make way for another movie directed by Ning Hao.

"People in Embarrassment" did not hold any premiere, but chose to be released as scheduled.

This is another classic comedy drama, with all kinds of funny scenes in it that make people laugh, and Wang Baoqiang's performance has made many people praise.

Under the siege of many parties, the box office still got 10 million on the first day, and the online evaluation was even more one-sided.

As soon as the news was exposed, there was an uproar in the film and television circle!

Obviously, this is another masterpiece that has exceeded 100 million at the box office.

Chen Fei's "undefeated myth" has been verified again, except for "Buried Alive", no work has a box office below 100 million.

It's a coincidence, after all, the leading actors in this movie aren't really very famous.

But with the blessing of many popularity such as Spring Festival, directed by Ning Hao, written by Chen Fei, and Liu Yifei's cameo, coupled with the tilt of the film schedule of major theaters, it has really created a myth!

……

As soon as December passed, the calendar on the wall was officially replaced with '06, and the final scene of "Source Code" was about to follow.

In the hotel room, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli, mother and daughter, were whispering.

"Mom, the Internet says that the female teacher you played is awesome, and it made many people cry."

Liu Xiaoli was self-aware, and added: "That's the script is well written, no matter who plays this role, it can make people cry." ”

That's what she said, but she was still very useful in her heart.

"People in Embarrassment" is her first movie role, but she didn't expect to usher in a good start!

Just thinking about it, my daughter's voice suddenly came to my ear: "The filming will be finished tomorrow." ”

"Well, that's fast."

Liu Xiaoli subconsciously agreed.

"Mom, don't you go to the set tomorrow, okay?"

"Huh? Why? ”

"Because I'm going to shoot a kiss scene tomorrow......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Xiaoli sighed, her eyes were very complicated, and she nodded lightly: "Okay, listen to you." ”

At this moment, she suddenly realized that her daughter had really grown up, and she was no longer the little girl who obediently waited for her backstage when she was a child.

…

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day when "Source Code" is finished.

Liu Yifei was processing the makeup with the help of a makeup artist, while Chen Fei and Ning Hao, who had returned from publicity, sat behind the monitor and chatted.

"Have you read the news on the Internet? Teacher Six is harshly criticizing them for damaging the image of Sun Wukong, and many people are supporting. ”

"That's true."

Chen Fei nodded, but he very much agreed with Teacher Six's opinion.

This kind of messy magic change will only consume the vitality of the classic IP of Journey to the West, and "The Great Sage" could originally be compared to Marvel on the Hollywood side, but now it has been made a mess.

"Wait! Marvel!? ”

In a trance, Chen Fei's eyes widened violently.

If he remembers correctly, Marvel at this time seems to be a comic book company on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was only successfully acquired by Disney in 09.

Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart!

Taking out his mobile phone, he immediately dialed Natalie's phone on the other side of the ocean.

It's nightfall in Los Angeles, and people after a busy day are being invited to party and get ready for a good night.

The phone was quickly connected, and the sound of music and laughter was slightly noisy.

"Natalie, I have a very important matter for you to do, and if we can succeed, it will be easy to surpass the Hollywood Big Eight!"

The noise on the other end of the phone quickly disappeared without a trace.

Natalie, who ran out of the door, asked curiously, "Fei?" What are you talking about? What's important? Why can it surpass the Hollywood Big Eight? ”

Chen Fei got straight to the point: "I want you to help me buy a company, it's called "Marvel Comics" (Marvel Comics), Natalie, if you can successfully win it, Walton Pictures will definitely shine in Hollywood!" ”

At this time, although Marvel was already one of the comic giants in the United States, it had not really involved in the field of movies today.

Even "Iron Man" will not be released until 08, and the start of filming has not yet been announced at this time!

If you can take it down at this time, it will be a big leak!

Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Deadpool, Black Widow, Thor, Thanos, ......

Thinking of these Marvel characters that will become popular in the future, as well as the huge Marvel universe, Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

If this acquisition can be completed, it will be a milestone victory for Walton Pictures and for him personally!

On the other end of the phone, Natalie reacted in hindsight, "Fei, I'll get it done as soon as possible." ”

It was the first time she heard Chen Fei's tone so excited.

And this also made her curious, is that "Marvel Comics" really so good? After buying it, it can successfully surpass the Hollywood Big Eight?

waited until he hung up the phone, Chen Fei was still in a state of excitement.

Coincidentally, when this kind of "excitement" is substituted into the shooting, it perfectly shows the joy of the actor after he successfully gets the "chance to regenerate".

Looking at Liu Yifei, who was a little shy in front of him, Chen Fei took the initiative to kiss him.

The moment the lips were closed, he could clearly feel the body of the girl in his arms trembling slightly, and the soft touch permeated between the lips.

At this time, Liu Yifei, as a woman, felt that her whole body was hot, her heart was pounding wildly, her body was soft, and her brain was blank!

Vaguely, she suddenly felt as if something was gently pressing against her lips.

She subconsciously opened her pursed lips, and then the whole person was completely numb like an electric shock, and she only cared about trying to cater to the ......
