With the end of the Golden Eagle Festival and the Hundred Flowers Festival, October officially ended.

"Ink Attack" began to swipe the screen publicity, followed by "The City Full of Golden Armor", and Rong Xinda's "Door" also started the early warm-up.

Yang Mi's face... It's no wonder that there is such a strange title.

Looking at the photos posted on the portal, Chen Fei's face was a little complicated, this girl had already lost all the feelings of "Little Guo Xiang".

Compared with other movies, the publicity popularity of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is not high.

The reason is simple.

First of all, this movie relies on the global box office, and the main box office is in North America.

Secondly, there is still a protection mechanism for Chinese-language films in China, and the publicity of foreign films must be controlled and not exaggerated.

That is, Chen Fei is the director of this movie, plus there are three investors in China Film, Shanghai Film, and Wanda, otherwise it will have a great impact on film scheduling.

But even so, Andy Serkis and James Franco were still called to China by Chen Fei and cooperated with Wang Luoji for several promotional events.

This has been rare in the past!

Hollywood actors came to the mainland to do publicity, and Chen Fei has done so far.

The major portals have also made several waves of headlines because of this incident, and mainland filmmakers suddenly have a new understanding of Chen Fei's status in Hollywood!

On October 3, under the organization of Su Guohai, Chen Fei held a press conference.

After a one-month release period, "Source Code" officially withdrew from major theaters and finally won a box office of 427 million.

There is also news from abroad, the North American box office is 160 million, and the total box office in other regions is as high as 250 million US dollars!

What is this concept?

If all of them are converted into RMB, the box office of Chen Fei's movie is as high as 3.7 billion RMB!

You know, its upfront investment is only $20 million.

Up to 23 times the box office yield!

The two brothers, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun, are almost crazy with envy, and Feiyue Film and Television has far exceeded Huayi's total annual revenue with just this movie.

"Director Chen, do you have any thoughts on the fact that the box office has hit new highs?"

"First of all, I need to thank my fans, if it weren't for your support, this movie would never have achieved such a good result!"

This statement is very serious.

Regarding the box office data in China, Chen Fei already had a hunch before, after all, the entire October film schedule was concentrated on "Source Code".

But the reason why there is such a high box office abroad is entirely due to his popularity around the world!

Red Bull's extreme challenges have attracted him too many fans, and with the strong support of this group of fans, the box office of the movie he starred in will naturally not be too low.

"Director Chen, when is the new film plan going to be implemented?"

"Maybe it will wait until after the spring of next year, there is still a lot of work to be done in Hollywood, and Liu Yifei is systematically training martial arts, and will not consider starting filming for the time being."

"What is your expected box office for the Hollywood movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes?"

"More than 500 million."

"Dollar ???"

"Of course, the yuan will lose its bottoms!"

…

The press conference started in the morning, and the headlines appeared in the afternoon.

When the figure of "500 million US dollars" came out, the entire domestic entertainment was shocked, and even Li Press, who was filming "Lust and Caution", was taken aback.

Someone deliberately made a box office ranking list of foreign A-class blockbusters in 06.

"Mission Impossible 3," which was released on May 5, grossed $398 million, "The Da Vinci Code," which was released on May 19, grossed $760 million, and "The X-Men," which was released on May 26, grossed $460 million.

"Cars" on June 9 was $461 million, "Superman Returns" on June 28 was $391 million, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" released on July 7 grossed a whopping $1.066 billion.

On the whole, the total box office of blockbusters produced by Class A can exceed 500 million US dollars, which is already a very good kind!

But Chen Fei's opening is "500 million US dollars", and this also means that the first A-class production directed by him is about to win a big victory?

"Is there so much faith?"

Liu Dehao called and chatted with Chen Fei about some messy things.

Chen Fei didn't want to fight with him, and said directly: "Brother Wow, it's not that I don't give you face, I just want her to apologize, isn't it too much?" ”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Dehao was silent for a while and sighed slowly.

"Forget it, I don't care, let her make trouble by herself, Sister Mei is kind to me, I can help her for a while, but I can't help her for a lifetime."

Chen Fei smiled slightly and directly diverted the topic.

"Is there a schedule for next year? Playing a role in my new movie? ”

"Mulan?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely! When the time comes, you call me and be on call. ”

…

After returning to Hong Kong Island from the Golden Eagle Festival, He Yunshi realized who she had provoked!

The entire Hong Kong circle began to boycott her, and some previously scheduled activities were directly canceled.

So far, except for some cooperation with Yongsheng Films, which is still continuing, all other companies have cut off contact with her.

No one in the circle has publicly said that they will ban her, but 98% of the activities on both the mainland and Hong Kong Island have removed her.

It's a terrible state, and it's as if a big hand is pushing her out of the circle!

In desperation, she found Liu Dehao and asked the other party to make a move with her teacher's affection.

But what she didn't know was that in front of Chen Fei, even the Heavenly King was useless!

He respects Liu Dehao's character, just like he will respect Zhou Xingchi, but he has always been on the right track on matters of principle!

Whoever you are, don't try to get into some matter of principle in front of him!

Not even the Heavenly King!

…

The filming of "Iron Man" is back on track.

Under Chen Fei's arrangement, Bruce began to lead Liu Yifei to frequently attend the galas of major luxury brands, as well as some model shows, and began to frantically improve her aesthetics.

The sales of "Heart Palpitations" are skyrocketing, and the MV video has also appeared on major music charts.

The shape......

It's still miserable!

"You just have this face, if you change to someone else wearing this clothes, you will be scolded for being autistic."

"Huh? Is it that ugly? ”

Liu Yifei looked suspicious, obviously fans like it?

"Ugh."

Sighing a little helplessly, Chen Fei hung up the phone directly, thinking to himself that it seems that he will have to get a modeling team for her in the future.

…

There is news from "Twilight" that the filming of the movie has reached the last moment and is about to be completed.

Old man Woody Allen asks if he can give him the editing rights.

After mixing with young people for so long, he feels that he is in a very good state, and he wants to cut this film out in one go.

"No problem, you can just go back to the company and cut it, there is a professional editing team over there, and they can help you."

“Ok！ Fei, thank you, you are such a great boss. ”

Europe and the United States attach great importance to the right of editing, and usually the editing is done by the production company to find someone, just to extract all the commercial elements in it.

A movie is a commodity, and before it is filmed, it has to be made for profit!

On the Hollywood side, except for some famous and powerful directors, few people can generally get the editing rights.

For example, Chen Fei filmed Super 3 for Universal Pictures before, and the editing work was done by someone from Universal Pictures, and he, the director, was just a tool man.

However, Chen Fei doesn't care about the editing rights, because in his opinion, the director's understanding of a movie must be higher than others.

Why can't the director be the main controller of editing? As long as you grasp the general direction, it's no problem!

Therefore, he agreed to Woody Allen's request without hesitation.

Lionsgate also completed the production of "Morgue Haunted 2", and after discussing with Chen Fei, it was decided to set the release date in 07.

…

With the arrival of November, Hollywood has officially entered the stage of blockbuster strife!

On November 17, Warner Bros.'s "Happy Feet" will be released in North American theaters, and at the same time as competing with "007: Casino Royale" produced by Luen American Pictures, and "Miami Vice" produced by Universal Pictures.

Daniel Craig is about to start killing all sides!

At the same time, Chen Fei's previous horror films with various companies have also landed in major theaters in the second half of the year.

On November 10th, the new line announced that "Happy Death Day" was officially drawn, which also means that all the horror film scripts laid out by Chen Fei in the first half of the year have come to an end.

Starting from "The Troubles of the Morgue", all the way to "Dangerous Laughter" and "Latent...... and then to the last "Happy Death Day".

Ten horror film scripts earned a total of $1.6 billion at the box office.

You know, the investment in each script will not exceed 20 million US dollars!

Just by sharing the box office, this business brought Chen Fei at least $350 million in income, and all this money was invested by him in Longxiang Capital to buy CDS.

The steady stream of money sent Leon Walras to the death!

As more and more CDS were successfully purchased, he gasped as he calculated the premiums he would have to pay.

If Chen Fei's prediction fails, if the financial crisis does not happen, if housing prices remain the same...

Then this huge gamble of up to 500 million dollars will all be lost!

The premium is not only paid for one year, this thing has to be paid every year, and it will not be stopped until Longxiang Capital can't get the liquidity!

Capitalists have a very sensitive sense of smell, and no matter how small the movement of buying CDS is, they still can't escape the attention of those who have a heart.

"What is the mentality of those onlookers?"

This is Chen Fei's problem.

"They are all watching the play, and some people even take the initiative to send their shares to the door, in your Chinese words, those people completely regard us as stupid and rich "wealth boys". ”

"That's what you want!"

The corners of Chen Fei's mouth raised slightly, and he commanded with great satisfaction: "Keep buying, don't stop!" ”

…

A lot of big things happened in November.

The most lively thing in the entertainment industry is the news about the release of "Ink Attack".

Liu Dehao, An Shengji, Wu Qilong, Wang Zhiwen, Fan Bingbin...... Several leading actors frequently make entertainment headlines!

On the eve of the release, Huayi held a premiere, and although Chen Fei did not go back to participate, he was always paying attention to the news.

Su Guohai called him internationally after the premiere.

"A reporter asked about the copyright sales of "Baby Plan" and "Night Banquet", and Wang Zhonglei blackened his face on the spot and directly refused to answer this question.

"Then you need to ask? It must have been a miserable loss. ”

"Haha, if "Ink Attack" fails again, Huayi's internal financial report in 06 may have to fall to the deficit line."

"Huayi's family background is still very deep, and I shouldn't be able to finish it in a year or two..."

In addition to the news of the release of "Ink Attack", Chen Kaige, who had been silent for a year, appeared again.

The news that Director Chen and his wife and beloved son visited the drama theater for several days in a row was broken by the media, and some reporters were surprised to find that he had watched "Mei Lanfang" for several days in a row.

In an interview on this day, Chen Kaige said coldly, "The next new film will revolve around the character of "Mei Lanfang". ”

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a shock in the domestic film and television industry!

Everyone suddenly remembered, isn't Brother Chen Kai's biggest honor the biographical movie "Farewell My Concubine"?

Now that he suddenly announced that he is going to start a new film around "Mei Lanfang", is it to wash away the stain brought by "Wuji"?

For a while, star artists from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan flocked to the capital one after another, wanting to know the specific inside situation.

"Brilliant again?"

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, he found it difficult.

The filming of "Iron Man" has come to an end, and it is expected to be officially completed before December, when the time can be let Industrial Light and Magic improve those special effects pictures in the later stage.

The progress of "The Incredible Hulk" is a little slow, and it is estimated that it will be completed around February next year.

South Korea handed over the news, saying that "New World" was about to be completed, and hoped that he could go to the finale banquet at that time.

Chen Fei did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree.

It depends on whether you have time, if you have it, go for a walk, if not, don't go, let Xijie arrange it himself.

As soon as the phone hung up, Zhang Yimou called again and invited him to attend the premiere of "The City Full of Golden Armor".

Chen Fei nodded without hesitation and agreed, and then asked, "Is there any hope for Chong Ao?" ”

"It's hard." Zhang Yimou didn't hide it from him, and said directly: "The Golden Globe Awards didn't get a chance to be nominated, and the Oscars didn't say much, but I always felt that there was little hope, and this film always felt that it was worse than "Hero". ”

"Well..."

Chen Fei stopped the topic in time, and muttered to himself in his heart, no wonder Zhang Weiping suddenly stopped jumping in the past few days.

"Is your "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" also going to the Oscars?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously.

"Well, I have already applied for the Golden Globe Awards for film and television, and I will apply for the Oscars and Saturn Awards in a while, hoping to win something."

"Okay, I wish you the grand prize."

"Double your luck, too."

…

Domestic entertainment headlines change day by day.

The news that Chen Fei's more than a dozen horror films earned a total of $1.6 billion was first reported by Sina, which once again caused an uproar.

1.6 billion US dollars, converted to RMB, this is 12.8 billion dollars!

Fans flew to Hong Kong and Wanwan in droves, just to be able to see these horror films that were "boasted" by the Internet.

There's even a new section in the post bar.

[Let's go, let's go to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to watch horror movies! ] 】

Han Sanping called quite resentfully, hoping that Chen Fei could explain to his group of fans that the mainland really can't introduce this kind of film.

"Haha, I can't explain this, the content of domestic film policy has to be popularized by the General Administration..."

"Alas, a headache."

While sighing, Han Sanping pressed the hang up button.

Huo Qigang also called excitedly.

"Chen Fei, I have already sent audition invitations to a group of celebrity artists in the Hong Kong circle, when will you come back? Come to Hong Kong and check for me. ”

"Good guys!" Chen Fei looked depressed, "You really put off the casting until the end of the year?" ”

"Ahem!"

Huo Qigang coughed twice in embarrassment, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "You must come, I can wait for you, when you come back, we will start casting." ”

The phone was hung up directly, and Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, quite hating that iron does not become steel.

This damn love brain!

…

The heat caused by Chen Fei's side has not gone down, and Feng Xiaogang's side suddenly announced the cast of "Assembly Number".

At first, it was Huang Xiaoming who had the highest voice, but after the character was announced, everyone found out that the protagonist "Zhao Erdou" turned out to be Deng Chao!

And what's even more surprising is that Sun Li actually became the actor of "Sun Guiqin"!

"Hey, these two are in love and have been on the big screen?" Chen Fei joked with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Huang Xiaomingle laughed, "I have to tell Deng Chao, and by the way, I will tell Director Feng again, but don't arrange a kiss scene for the two of them, otherwise I am afraid that they will directly lose control in the crew." ”

"Go! Just go! Let's just say I said it! ”

Chen Feile watched the excitement and was busy coaxing.

The box office effect of "Ink Attack" after its release is still good, the box office in the mainland has exceeded 45 million yuan in just one week, and the box office in Hong Kong has reached 11 million Hong Kong dollars.

But "Miami Veneme", which was in the same period, received a mediocre response.

Universal Pictures reported the North American box office and word of mouth, but unfortunately, the box office results and fan evaluations are not high, and now we are waiting to see what the situation is in China.

After Chen Fei and Zhu Yawen talked on the phone, they learned that Gong Huang's passionate scene had been deleted.

"It's a pity, the mainland is too strict, and this kind of clip is quite rare."

"Is there a lot of dew?"

"Compared to Zhang Ziyi, that thing is not much different from no leakage."

"Cut, what's the point of deleting it or not? Anyway, I don't think this film is good-looking, and the viewing experience is not strong, so I'm waiting for your "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" now. ”

"Okay, there's time to call Luo Jin and them to come out and get together."

…

The filming of "Iron Man" came to an end at the end of November.

The final scene is a conversation between Pepper and the female reporter.

"You must be the famous Virginia Potts?"

"Yes."

"It's been all these years, and Tony still asked you to get dry cleaning for him?"

"I'll do whatever Mr. Stark asks me to do, including... Take out the trash! ”

At the end of the word "garbage", Gwyneth Paltrow deliberately accentuated her tone, looking directly at the female reporter in front of her who had spent the night with Tony last night.

That couldn't be more obvious.

You are "garbage"!

Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard stood beside Chen Fei and muttered quietly.

"Women are born actors."

"Oh! Downey! I couldn't agree more with you! ”

Chen Fei shook his head and smiled, and after confirming that there was no problem with the scene just now, he stood up and picked up the big speaker next to him.

“Cut！ It's done! ”
