231. Who attacks and who defends? New Challenges Revealed! A box office hit! Internal entertainment has suffered the strongest bombardment since June!
"Miss Elona? Hello. ”
Chen Fei hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with the white lady in the back seat, and a trace of surprise unconsciously appeared on his face.
How did she end up here?
Natasha grinned and explained, "Irona is no longer a real estate agent, I asked her to come and help me, she is now in charge of the financial work of Marvel."
She, like me, graduated from MIT and is a very professional financial professional. ”
The most important core of a company must be the finance department, and it is reasonable for Natasha to choose to use people she is familiar with, and it is natural to control the life of "finance", which naturally controls the entire company.
"Oh, I see."
Chen Fei nodded knowingly and didn't say anything.
When he first met Ilona Boglova, he discovered the "extravagance" that could not be hidden in the other party.
Plus she's a good friend of Natasha again...
Therefore, the identity of this young lady is naturally self-evident.
If Chen Fei guessed correctly, the family power behind her may still be at the same level as Natasha.
…
After dinner at a high-end restaurant, Chen Fei offered to go back to Los Angeles first.
"Dangerous Laughter" was a big hit at the box office, and "Dead Silence" was about to be released, so he had to go back and stare at it in advance.
It's just that Natasha seems to have other plans, and she proposed: "It's so late, and it's not safe on the road, let's stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning, right?" ”
Chen Fei thought about it, but this is also the reason, leaving one night late will not delay anything.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he stayed in the hotel at night, the three of them actually opened two rooms?
Chen Fei lived alone in one room, while the two girls shared one room.
At first he didn't care, after all, girls usually like to whisper in the evening, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Young man, strong in blood, who the hell can bear it?
In order to forcibly suppress the unhealthy thoughts in his mind, he thought about it and simply focused on the system in his mind.
New tasks for the system have been updated.
[Challenge Mission: Flying over a 100-meter broken bridge (S-level)]
Compared with the previous wingsuit flights to climb Mount Everest and Tianmen Mountain, the level of this mission is not high, but the danger index is not low.
Broken bridges spaced 100 meters apart are easy to find in Los Angeles, where there are too many bridges that have been interrupted for a variety of reasons.
However, taking a leap by car is not something that can be easily achieved.
Before he obtained the "driving mastery" skill, Chen Fei always felt that this thing was just stepping on the accelerator and passing?
But is it really just a matter of pressing the accelerator?
Obviously, no!
Engine power, damping effect, take-off angle......
All of the above is something you need to prepare for before the challenge begins.
You know, the farthest distance ever recorded in the world is only 50 meters.
The creator of this record is Ke Shouliang, known as "Asia's No. 1 Flyer", who once drove a Mitsubishi sports car over the Yellow River in 1997.
And now, the system has directly doubled the difficulty!
100 meters!
What a frightening number!
You know, after 50 meters, the difficulty of the challenge will increase exponentially for every additional meter you have to play!
And if you want to cross 100 meters, this is not something that can be done by simply stepping on the accelerator.
Terrain, racing... These are all issues that Chen Fei needs to take into account.
However, if it had been before, he would have wondered where to find a broken bridge that was just 100 meters wide and where to find a suitable race car.
But that's no longer the case.
Universal Pictures wanted to hold a promotional event in Los Angeles before the release of "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift."
Red Bull, on the other hand, is waiting for him to start a new challenge.
In that case, just throw the question to them.
…
After a few hours of hard sleep, Chen Fei woke up early the next morning, and contacted Romulo, the producer of Super 3, and Flory, an investor in Red Bull.
"Driving a race car? Leap over a 100-meter-wide broken bridge? ”
Hearing Chen Fei's request, the two people in New York and Los Angeles respectively seemed to have made an appointment in advance, and directly burst into foul language!
“Fei? Are you sure this can be done? ”
Even though he has been a Red Bull investor for decades, Flory still thinks that Chen Fei's words are like a fantasy.
That's a full 100 meters! It's not an ordinary meter! How is it possible to fly over?
Chen Fei didn't have time to explain to him, so he blocked it directly, "Have you forgotten your agreement with me?" ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing." Chen Fei directly interrupted him, "Flory, I need your full cooperation, and if I don't have perfect certainty, I definitely won't do it." ”
"Okay, I'll get you the car."
After hanging up, Flory fell into deep thought.
There is no doubt that if you want to make this leap, a normal racing car will definitely not be possible.
He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began to calculate mechanics and dynamics.
In the end, he came up with an accurate figure.
The car had to make at least 500 horsepower, and the front position was not too heavy, which meant that the engine had to be placed at the rear.
In addition, you also have to work hard in terms of shock absorption, otherwise the impact force formed at the moment of landing is likely to make Chen Fei seriously injured!
…
Red Bull has already started preparations, and Universal Pictures will naturally not be too far behind.
After repeatedly confirming that Chen Fei had the courage to complete this challenge, Romulo directly submitted the request for this event to the publicity department.
And for this challenge, Universal Pictures and Red Bull both attach great importance to it.
The two sides quickly completed the initial communication.
Both parties are good money-makers, and after determining that the car will be provided by Red Bull, Universal Pictures began to prepare other items that would determine the success of the challenge.
A broken bridge is needed first.
Universal Pictures has set its sights on the broken bridge from Miami to Key West, the southernmost point of the United States.
It is a broken bridge with a history of more than 100 years, and the American people call it one of the "Eight Wonders".
Coincidentally, the width of the broken bridge is exactly 100 meters, and it can be used directly without even treatment or repair.
After sending professionals to survey and set up the set, Red Bull and Universal Pictures began a series of elaborate calculations and designs to build the platform.
If you want to fly 100 meters, this is not something that can be done by a regular flying platform, and it has to be redesigned.
Sprint distance, start slope, landing angle...... These must be precisely calculated by top dynamicists and aerodynamics experts.

Both Universal Pictures and Red Bull are busy working for this challenge.
As the party concerned, Chen Fei was watching the finished film of "Latent" in the cinema with Wen Ziren.
Today is the first day of the movie's release, and in addition to watching the movie, the two also have the purpose of surveying the attendance.
Fortunately, even if "Dangerous Laughter" is being screened in front of it, the attendance rate of "Latent" is still quite high.
Wen Ziren is a famous benchmark director of horror thrillers, and the script is still written by Chen Fei, a famous screenwriter who has won an Oscar, the popularity of the early publicity has reached a new height.
Although he has already watched it once, when he watched it for the second time, Chen Fei was still frightened by the horror and thriller clips in the movie.
The film tells the story of Josh and Rylai who happily move into a new home with their three children, but that night they hear some strange noises in the room, and even mysterious ghosts appear!
Soon after, the eldest son, Dalton, was injured in an accident in the "Exploration" attic and was admitted to the hospital in a coma the next day.
Strangely, after 3 months he was still in a coma, and even the doctors couldn't figure it out.
Later, Dalton returned home from the hospital to recuperate.
But in this mysterious place, more terrifying events happen one after another.
The couple suspected that the house was a treachery, so they decided to move.
But after moving again, the situation still hasn't improved!
Later, with the help of some exorcists, they realize that it is not the house that is wrong, but that their children may be haunted by a strange spirit from the dark world.
For the sake of their children, the parents and scientists engage in a life-and-death duel with the spirits!
…
Screams rang out in the screening room from time to time.
The fans were frightened, but they could still vaguely see a trace of morbid joy on their faces!
Some people feel frightened, tremble, and even have a very uncomfortable heart when watching horror movies.
But there are also some people who enjoy this feeling very much, and see it as something more wonderful than male and female love, and are deeply obsessed with it!
After 96 minutes of watching the movie, Chen Fei and Wen Ziren mingled in the crowd and left the theater.
"The box office is stable."
"Oh? How so? Chen Fei looked at Wen Ziren who was full of confidence with some surprise, and he couldn't understand where he got his confidence.
"Horror movies are spread by word of mouth, and as long as the audience in a theater can put their whole life into it, they will spread it to the rest of the circle, and this spread very quickly!"
Wen Ziren's words were quickly verified.
On June 10, the North American box office of the three-day opening weekend was fixed at $23 million.
If you add the release of other countries, the final box office is about 35 million.
No doubt!
Chen Fei has made money again!
As for the production of "Latent" and "Dangerous Laughter", the media on the Internet have received even more praise.

News of Hollywood quickly spread back home.
Sina.com reported: Chen Fei directed Hollywood's R-rated new work "Dangerous Laughter", and the global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars within ten days of release! "Latent" has reached $35 million at the box office in its opening weekend! ”
"Sohu.com reported: According to the announcement of Universal Pictures and Walton Pictures, the investment cost of "Dangerous Laughter" is only 15 million US dollars, and the investment cost of "Latent" is less than 5 million US dollars.
"NetEase reported: According to the announcement of many companies such as Dimen Pictures, New Line Pictures, and Marvel Entertainment, the R-rated horror thriller co-produced with Chen Fei is now all completed, and it is expected to be released in the second half of the year."
“……”
The chaotic news was like a hornet's nest, and it blew up the entire internal entertainment.
"Even if the domestic box office repeatedly exceeds 100 million, why does this go abroad or keep making the box office exceed 100 million?"
"I'm convinced, Director Chen has been in Hollywood for less than three years, and the total box office is about to exceed 2 billion, how much money does this have to make?"
"It's completely unimaginable, after all, the box office of these small-budget movies only accounts for one-third of the revenue, and the subsequent copyright and DVD sharing are the most terrifying."
"I can't stop salivating with envy."
"Grandma has legs, no wonder people can't look down on China, and they threw all the scripts to Ning Hao, the income of a small-budget horror film is so high!"
For a while, dense congratulatory voices like raindrops appeared in Chen Fei's office through phone calls, text messages, emails, etc.
But he ignored it.
Compared with the income of those A-class productions, the income of these horror films is as if they are playing at home.
Don't look at the momentum now, but based on past experience, the total box office of these two movies may eventually be fixed in the range of 130 million to 180 million.
If you want to make money, you still have to watch blockbusters!
The recent hot "Mission Impossible 3" and "X-Men 3: Last Stand", two A-class productions, have both exceeded the $300 million mark at the box office.
Even "Cars", which was only three days later than "Latent", has quickly exceeded $200 million at the global box office, and the momentum has not weakened at all.
Chen Fei's saliva was about to flow out.
So he simply went to the animation special effects studio and helped to work on the later stage of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", hoping that it could be released earlier.
At the same time, in his spare time, he will also help the animation team to do "Robot Story" together.
"WALL-E" is a process of making pictures first, and then hiring voice actors to dub them, everything is carried out according to the formal Hollywood film industry.
The head of the animation department was a big fat man named Andrew Brocher.
He was recruited by Natasha from Pixar Animation Studios, and the salary is also not low.
In the face of Chen Fei's help, he shirked at first and said "no".
But when he saw Chen Fei skillfully using various software to design compositions on the computer, he was stunned.
The proficiency of that operation is no worse than that of himself!
was stunned for a while, and when he realized that Chen Fei was also a "technician", Andrew was suddenly excited.
As a screenwriter and director, Chen Fei is the person who is most familiar with this movie, and with his help, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort!
"Fei, there are some questions I need you to solve, in the setting of the script, WALL· E is a real robot, not an anthropomorphic entity, he can't speak, and he doesn't have particularly obvious facial expressions, and the audience can only speculate about his mental activity based on his movements, doesn't such a setting make the audience bored? ”
This was the biggest challenge the entire animation team faced from the start of production on the film.
How do you show the audience how the story is developing in the absence of dialogue?
Today, I finally have the opportunity to cooperate with Chen Fei, and Andrew can't wait to get answers from him.
After a little silence, Chen Fei gave the answer.
"This film will mainly use visual as the main narrative technique, and the dialogue in the film is more consistent from beginning to end, but it is not in the traditional way of dialogue, but in a unique way of communication between robots."
How do robots communicate with each other?
Andrew seemed to understand something, he always felt that there was a flash of inspiration in his head, but he couldn't catch it.
Chen Fei didn't explain too much to him, but it just took a few hours to make one of the clips with exquisite techniques.
"WALL· with the new chip installed, E forgot Eve, and Eve and WALL· E recounts a series of previous memories, when they met and held hands, WALL· E finally remembered Eve, and Eve looked at him with a smile......"
In this storyline, the two robots do not communicate verbally, but only express their inner emotions with their eyes and movements.
After reading it, Andrew completely realized!
Some words don't necessarily have to be spoken, just actions can express the core of a great story.
Long-term companionship is more shocking than the dictation I love you!
"Fei, thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome, let's get on with our work."
…
All the work is done synchronously.
While Chen Fei was busy in the animation studio, Marvel also announced the start of filming plans for "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", and according to Chen Fei's suggestion, sent audition invitations to some people in the Hollywood circle.
At the same time, the props and post-production special effects department over there has officially entered the preparation and production period.
"Iron Man" Chen Fei is ready to be directed by himself, which can be regarded as a dream of his own.
As for Hulk's side, Marvel already has many cooperating directors, just choose a suitable director.
As soon as the news came out, it aroused heated discussions among major Hollywood film companies, and also attracted the attention of many interested people.
The first to be announced is the list of producers.
Producers, cinematography, soundtracks, editing, etc., most of these are Marvel veterans.
But when I saw the names of the other people on the list, the whole Hollywood was completely sensational!
Iron Man
Director: Fei Chen
Screenwriter: Fei Chen
Investment budget: $150 million
The Incredible Hulk
Director: Tentatively
Screenwriter: Fei Chen
Investment budget: $150 million
When the name "Fei Chen" appeared in front of the CEOs of major film and television production companies, everyone felt a sense of trance inexplicably.
They vaguely remember that last year, Chen Fei was just a small Chinese director who had just entered Hollywood, why did he start to cooperate with Marvel to shoot Class A big productions in a blink of an eye?
…
At the same time as the news spread in Hollywood, it also appeared in China through major portals.
After determining that the "Fei Chen" in the list is "Chen Fei", the major domestic film and television companies are completely crazy!
Two $150 million, adding up to $300 million.
Convert to RMB...
That's 2.4 billion!
If you can get an investment share in it, according to Chen Fei's record of "making sure you don't lose money", wouldn't you have made a direct profit?
However, before they could completely recover from their senses, the sports channel, together with the sports network newspaper, the three major portals, and the major print media newspapers, urgently announced a message.
"At eight o'clock in the capital time, Red Bull and Universal Pictures jointly issued a notice:
Chen Fei, a famous director, actor, screenwriter, producer, and extreme athlete, will complete the challenge of "driving over a 100-meter broken bridge" on the Miami Broken Bridge, known as "one of the Eight Wonders of America", on June 15.
It's going to be a thrilling, yet blood-pumping challenge!
At that time, the sports channel will broadcast the whole process, so please wait and see. ”
As soon as the news was released, it directly sparked the discussion and support of netizens and extreme sports enthusiasts across the country!
June 15th.
Driving over a 100-meter broken bridge?
For a while, countless "" sounds resounded in the homes of every netizen who saw this news!
