216, cameo interesting story, Gao Yuanyuan's mentality changes, South Korean stick visit... (Ask for a commuter pass)
There are many celebrities and artists who are angry in private.
They think that since Chen Fei can get such a high sky-high endorsement fee, should his endorsement fee also rise?
It's a pity that as soon as this sign appeared, it was slammed back by the brand!
"Increase the endorsement fee? No problem! You first go and get a Golden Bear, then go abroad to make a few A-class production films with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, then win a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar respectively, and then come back and fly down from Tianmen Mountain in a wingsuit...
After doing all this, let alone increasing the endorsement fee, even giving you a share of the company is not a problem. ”
As soon as these words came out, many celebrities and artists were suddenly silent.
it!
With so many conditions, even if they only complete one of them, they can shine in the country.
If this is all completed, wouldn't it be easy to be promoted to the top first-line level?
Oh! That's right! I almost forgot!
Chen Fei is now the top first-line level in the circle.
Directors, actors, screenwriters, producers, film and television company owners... It's in full bloom!
…
Just when there was a lot of uproar on the Internet because of the sky-high endorsement fee, Chen Fei had already come to the crew of "Baby Plan" at this time.
He promised Chen Long a long time ago that he would come over to play a cameo role when he had time.
Now that he had time, he simply took the time to rush over.
After the cameo of "Baby Project" ended, there was nothing important in China, and he had to fly to Hollywood to shoot "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".
Halfway through April, it's almost May, and every day of delay consumes a lot of dollars!
…
After coming to the crew and saying hello to everyone, Chen Fei got the script that Chen Long had prepared for him a long time ago.
"You're going to play a driver who drives a cash truck, and he doesn't have a lot of lines, but he's a little stammering, and you have to play that stuttering feeling..."
"Okay, no problem."
Chen Fei nodded and looked at the script intently.
There are not many lines, only more than ten sentences when they are full, and according to his memory, he can remember it at a casual glance.
But just as he closed the script, a greeting voice suddenly came from beside him, "Hello Director Chen, I'm Wu Yanzu, and I'm honored to cooperate with you in this scene." ”
"Hello."
Looking at the well-known handsome Asian guy who appeared in front of him, Chen Fei smiled and shook his hand.
In terms of appearance, the two are naturally comparable, they are both well-known handsome in the circle, but the direction of handsomeness is slightly different.
Wu Yanzu is older, and he is developing in the direction of "handsome uncle".
And because Chen Fei is young, before he didn't wear makeup, his handsomeness was closer to the direction of "little wolf dog".
However, in terms of temperament and status in the circle, Chen Fei completely beat Wu Yanzu.
The two are not on the same level at all.
In the next scene, the two will play the role of security guards in the cash truck at the same time, and start a rivalry with Chen Long and Gu Tianle.
After briefly checking the lines and dialogues to be spoken later, Chen Fei casually asked, "What work have you been busy with lately?" ”
Wu Yanzu, "It's quite fateful to say, after the end of my directorial debut "The Four Heavenly Kings", Media Asia invited me to participate in the filming of "Eavesdropping". ”
"Oh?" Chen Fei's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he asked with some curiosity: "Which movie is about to finish?" ”
After handing over the script to Zhuang Cheng, he didn't pay attention to this movie anymore, and the producer sent by Tang and Su Guohai was in charge of the whole process.
He's become a hands-off shopkeeper.
"It was done the afternoon before yesterday."
"Oh? So fast? ”
"Haha, director Mak Zhaohui is a well-known fast shooter in Hong Kong."
Hearing this, Chen Fei's heart moved slightly.
Now that "Eavesdropping" has been completed, and there was no trouble during the filming, this means that Media Asia still attaches great importance to the cooperation between the two sides.
So... Do you want to continue working with them?
There are too many Hong Kong film scripts in his hands, and he can't finish filming with Emperor and Golden Harvest alone, so he has to find another partner to consume.
Looking at it now, Media Asia's sincerity is still quite high, not much worse than that of the Emperor.
…
After chatting for a while, director Chen Musheng began to call people, signaling that they could go on the stage and prepare to start filming.
Director Chen is also a director with very high qualifications and strength, and "New Police Story" directed and filmed in 04 broke the box office record of co-productions that had been held for ten years in the mainland!
He and Chen Long are old acquaintances and have collaborated on several movies with each other.
Although he is almost 50 years old, this one is a wonderful person.
finally invited Chen Fei and Wu Yanzu to make cameos, and he would definitely not arrange just an ordinary scene.
Even though the two of them only have less than two minutes of footage in the final film, he made up his mind to shoot this scene!
In order for this cameo to have a good comedic effect, he came up with a bold idea.
The hot word of the year "Brokeback Mountain" was integrated into the dialogue between the two. ”
Redesigned, a brand new line has been released!
During the shooting, he set Wu Yanzu's identity as a sissy, although he held a gun in his hand, he exuded a feminine temperament all over his body.
Finally, when Chen Fei opened his mouth to ask, "Where are you from", he cocked his orchid fingers, showed a charming and moving smile on his face, and at the same time came to the sentence "Brokeback Mountain".
"Click! Good! It's over! ”
Behind the monitor, Chen Musheng picked up the megaphone and shouted, which also meant that Chen Fei's cameo was officially over.
Touching the steering wheel, he was a little reluctant.
The last time I was in Akinayama, the drag racing scene is still vivid, and if you think about it, it seems that you haven't raced once for a long time.
Universal Pictures had informed him in advance that there would be a promotional event before the release of Furious 3 and wanted him to participate.
"Why don't you go and have fun?"
Thinking about it, Chen Fei suddenly moved.
Fast & Furious!
That feels like an old nose is cool!
…
As soon as he pushed the door and got out of the car, Chen Musheng, Chen Long, Gu Tianle, Xu Guanwen, Gao Yuanyuan, Cai Bangyan, Yuan Biao and others surrounded him and greeted him.
Except for Gao Yuanyuan, most of the others are in the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island.
Compared with the mainland, the people over there have a much clearer understanding of Chen Fei's identity and status!
Emperor, Media Asia, Golden Harvest...
These three film companies have more or less a certain relationship with him, which can already explain a lot of things.
"Hello Director Chen, Director Huo specially told us, we must greet you respectfully, you are the noble person of our emperor."
Cai Bangyan's words revealed too much news, and one sentence made many people at the scene change their faces.
"Say hello to Director Huo for me."
Chen Fei responded lightly.
After a round of greetings, it was Gao Yuanyuan, the only mainland actor in the play, who came in at the end.
"Sister Yuanyuan, long time no see." Chen Fei took the initiative to say hello to her.
"Well... Long time no see. ”
Gao Yuanyuan's face was inexplicably a little complicated.
Who would have thought that the young man who was still ignorant when he played Song Qingshu would have such a great achievement in just a few years!
"You know?" Long Chen looked at the two curiously.
Chen Fei laughed and joked casually, "The first TV series I debuted at that time was "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", in which I played Song Qingshu, and I had a relationship with Sister Yuanyuan.
She mentored me a lot and helped me a lot, but we rarely saw each other after that. ”
Last year's "Qinghong" made Gao Yuanyuan popular, and then Chen Long took a fancy to it and became the heroine in "Baby Plan".
Most people think that she is a representative of luck and hard work, but in fact, there are many unknowns behind this...
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Fei, how to go is her own business, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
The words just now can be regarded as repaying her for taking care of herself in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
With this sentence, her filming in this crew is bound to be smooth sailing.
"Introduction Chen is heavy."
Gao Yuanyuan responded with a smile, a hint of complexity and gratitude flashed in her eyes.
If these words are spread, her future road will definitely be much easier.
In this Vanity Fair, where people must pay equally to ask for things and resources, Chen Fei's approach can be regarded as a kind of selfless help for her.
…
After the cameo ended and the contact information of many people was added, Chen Fei left the crew of "Baby Project".
He was originally going to fly directly to Yunnan Province (YN), and then divert to Hengdian to visit the crew of "Soldier Assault" and "Latent" respectively.
Unexpectedly, before he was ready to leave, Su Guohai's call suddenly came in.
"Mr. Chen, there are people from South Korea, and they want to see you."
Korea?
Chen Fei was stunned, subconsciously thought that he wanted to buy the copyright of the movie, and replied casually: "Do you want to buy the copyright?" Let them go to Zhongying. ”
"It's not about buying copyrights." Su Guohai explained, "The person who came is from CJ Group's film and television business department, and they want to cooperate with you. ”
CJ?
After pondering for a while, Chen Fei quickly remembered.
This CJ should be the CJ Group, which is the largest food company in Korea.
In '95, CJ started his film and television business by co-founding DreamWorks with Spielberg and others.
In addition to distributing DreamWorks films in Korea and Southeast Asia, the company has also actively participated in the production of Korean films, and has contributed to the development of Korean film and television by successfully distributing films such as "JSA", "The Happyend", and "Island".
In addition, through a partnership with Australia's VillageRoadshowPictures, CJ also established Korea's first multiplex theater, CGV.
In short, it is a film company that has both film and television, brokerage, and distribution businesses in South Korea.
"It's just, how did they find their own company? Is it because ...... ShowBox? ”
For a while, Chen Fei couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Han Sanping specially greeted him before, and ShowBox bought a lot of movie rights, including "Buried Alive", "Crazy Stone", "Chinese Partner" and so on.
It had just been sold over there, and when he turned around, Xijie came to the door.
Don't......
Chen Fei's heart moved, and many conjectures suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Let them wait for me, I'm on my way, I'll go back right away."
"Good!"
Su Guohai responded.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the few Koreans in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is on his way back to the company, you can wait for a while." ”
"Okay."
The middle-aged man in the lead secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the film and television industry, South Korea's actions in recent years have shown their determination, and the entire East Asian region is the focus of their development.
Our own market is still too small, and although the economy of Huaxia is backward, it can't stand the big market, so it is definitely a good choice to develop here.
The reason why he came to Feiyue Film and Television, as Chen Fei guessed, has a lot to do with ShowBox.
If Huaxia regards the film going overseas as an honor and political achievement, it is an opportunity to enhance the recovery and development of the domestic film and television industry.
Then South Korea is obsessed with going overseas for movies!
They are hungry for recognition, for going to the United States, for winning the Oscars, the Golden Globes, and even the big three in Europe.
This craving has even evolved into a state of extreme hysteria!
Their goal has always been to stand side by side with the United States, although this is difficult to do.
…
If the aesthetics of coal bosses are the highest level in China, then on the South Korean side, the word must be replaced with "chaebol." ”
When he saw the people from Xijie's team, Chen Fei's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the female assistants in the other team.
It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of these female assistants is no worse than those girl groups in later generations!
Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
No wonder there are always some messy male and female incidents over there, and there are so many young and beautiful female assistants around me every day, so it's strange if you don't have a relationship!
"Mr. Chen, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am in Xia Pu Qihan."
"Oh? Do you speak Chinese? ”
Chen Fei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the person in charge of Xijie Company could speak Mandarin so well.
"I had an exchange career, and I studied business management at Peking University for two years."
"Oh, I see."
After a few words of greeting, the group walked into the conference room.
After the guest of honor sat down, Park Qihan didn't talk about any topics, and directly explained his intention this time.
"Mr. Chen, we Xijie came here this time for the scripts and movies in your hands, and we want to cooperate with you with great sincerity."
Tsk, sure enough!
After confirming his conjecture, Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, "I'm sorry, you're a little late, the film copyright in my hand has been bought by ShowBox, and there is nothing left behind." ”
"We know that."
Park nodded and added, "We are by far the largest film and television company in South Korea, which includes film production, actor management, publicity and distribution.
When it comes to professionalism and market share, ShowBox is weaker than ours. ”
"And then?"
Chen Fei looked at him curiously, and said so much, but he still didn't seem to get to the point.
"We hope that if we have the opportunity in the future, we can cooperate with you in Hollywood film investment, whether it is money or effort, we will fully cooperate..."
What a trick to save the country!
Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh, South Korean movies have not been able to reach the international level in recent years, is this preparing to take advantage of his east wind to enjoy the feeling of being taken away?
"I'm sorry." Chen Fei did not hesitate at all, and directly refused: "You may not know, I have many partners in China, and Xijie is not in a position." ”
It seemed that he didn't expect Chen Fei to refuse so simply, Pu Qihan was stunned for a moment.
"When it comes to investment, we at CJ have never been stingy..."
Yo?
Is this ready to take money to smash the market?
Chen Fei heard the meaning of his words, but still shook his head: "I can't break the rules." ”
As soon as these words came out, Pu Qihan's face suddenly sank.
He understands what this means, just like the South Korean film market, the Chinese side is also very xenophobic.
If Chen Fei has an investment share in Hollywood films, he must first share it with domestic film and television companies, and only the remaining leftovers can be distributed to others.
It's a pity that there won't be any leftovers left in this kind of investment opportunity.
After a little silence, he insisted on fighting again: "Then can Mr. Chen cooperate with Xijie on the release of "Source Code"?" ”
"China Film is responsible for this aspect."
“……”
One sentence blocked Park Qihan again.
Because CJ has a large market share in South Korea, they are also very strong in price reduction, which is why Han Sanping chooses to cooperate with ShowBox every time.
One or two are fine, but as soon as there are many opportunities for cooperation, Xijie suddenly can't sit still.
"Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "No Man's Land", "Buried Alive", "Chinese Partner" ......
This series of high-quality films has made ShowBox a lot of money in the past two years, and there is even a faint tendency to catch up with Xijie.
If they don't do something about it, I'm afraid it won't be long before the position of the leading boss will have to be replaced!
Therefore, Pu Qihan was ordered to fly directly to Huaxia to find Chen Fei.
But the negotiation didn't go as smoothly as he imagined, and the ShowBox moved too fast, leaving not even a bit of leftovers for Xijie.
It's just that just when Pu Qihan was at a loss, Chen Fei's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Actually, I'm still quite interested in South Korea, and I happened to write a script recently, and Mr. Park just came, why don't you help me read it?"
"Oh?" Pu Qihan's eyes lit up, "Willing to serve!" ”
Chen Fei did not hesitate and directly handed him the script of "New World".
There are many professionals in Xijie's team, and when Park Qihan took over the script, two middle-aged men wearing glasses came up with great interest.
Seeing that the other party was looking seriously, Chen Fei crossed Erlang's legs and waited quietly.
It's also interesting to say that although the economy of South Korea is controlled by major conglomerates, the film and television industry can unscrupulously criticize their financier father.
That's not all, even the dark side of some societies, the evil deeds of conglomerates, etc., can also be filmed in the form of film and television dramas.
This kind of behavior is equivalent to Wang Jinghua leading the artists under him to shoot a movie that satirizes the various injustices of the two Huayi brothers.
It is not allowed at home, but in South Korea no one cares.
The consortium focuses on an open mind, but it is unrepentant!
The script of "New World" tells the story of how a "white" person uses "black" management methods in a "black" environment, and finally gets completely blackened step by step.
All over the world, such films can only be released in South Korea, even in Hollywood, which claims to be free America.
After waiting for half an hour, the group of people on the opposite side raised their heads.
Glancing at the two screenwriters, Park Qihan closed the script, but did not return it to Chen Fei, but said bluntly:
"In that case, let's open the skylight and say something, this script is very good, and it is also very suitable for the South Korean film market, why don't we cooperate on this?"
Chen Fei looked at him with a smile, "Don't you need to listen to my request first?" ”
"Please speak up, Mr. Chen."
"I only publish the script, Xijie is responsible for the production and publicity, and I want to account for 40% of the investment."
accounts for 40% of the investment share, which means that in the final box office revenue, Chen Fei also has to take 40%.
This is how he works with Lionsgate, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures and others, and the demands on South Korean sticks must be no worse than those of Hollywood studios.
He is not a philanthropist, these scripts are all in exchange for his life, and he must get enough returns.
What surprised Chen Fei a little was that Pu Qihan did not hesitate, and nodded without hesitation after listening to his request.
"It's a pleasure to be able to fight side by side with Director Chen, and I'm sure our president will be very happy to hear the news."
Before coming, Park Qihan had already investigated all the information about Chen Fei, even including the details of his cooperation with Hollywood, which were firmly grasped by them.
Therefore, in the face of forty percent of the investment share, he did not hesitate.
Hollywood has agreed, why didn't they Xijie agree?
What's more, the purpose of coming this time is to connect with Chen Fei, hoping to take the opportunity to participate in the production of Hollywood movies one day.
Even if he pays some price for this, Park Qihan is willing.
Once the goals are agreed, the rest of the process is much simpler.
The two sides signed a series of contracts on script cooperation, and in order to avoid some force majeure factors in the cooperation, Chen Fei deliberately brought China Film in.
Even if he only got a share of one percent of the investment, Han Sanping was still happy like a sunflower.
After so many years of cooperation, Chen Fei can be said to have never been defeated, as long as it is a script he writes or invests in a movie, none of them lose money.
This also made Han Sanping understand a fact.
As long as Chen Fei invites him, he doesn't care about the quality of the script or anything, he can invest brainlessly and be the biggest backer behind him.
Therefore, it wasn't until Xijie's people were sent away that Han Sanping had time to look through the backup of the script.
Half an hour later, he raised his head with an unusually complicated gaze.
"Sometimes, I really want to open your head and see how much knowledge is inside!"
is a simple and single script, which actually made him see the various entanglements between the consortium and "black" and "white", revealing a strong sense of reality between the lines!
It's not like a script at all, it's like an autobiography!
"Haha, inexhaustible, inexhaustible."
Chen Fei had a smile on his face, answering Han Sanping's question while recalling what Park Qihan said when he signed a contract with him just now.
"Mr. Chen, if you have the opportunity, you must come to our Xijie as a guest, I will let you feel what is called the real entertainment industry and what is the real life of the consortium."
Before leaving, Park gave him a golden card.
There is only a string of numbers on the card, and there is no other obvious marking.
"When you arrive in South Korea, I'll show you the magic of this card, which represents warmth, generosity, and unrestrained ......."
Chen Fei had vaguely guessed the usefulness of this card.
He's quite curious, I heard that the industry over there is also quite prosperous, but I don't know who has a higher quality than Xiaori's side?
