Flowers bloom outside the wall, fragrant inside the wall!

It was late at the end of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, but the news of Chen Fei's award was transmitted back to China as soon as possible.

[The 60th Cannes Film Festival Best Film Palme d'Or Winner: Chen Fei! ] 】

When this headline appeared on the headlines of major portals, forums, and post bars, it immediately caused an uproar in the circle and shocked countless people.

"23 years old! Palme d'Or winner! ”

"China's second Palme d'Or trophy was finally won by domestic director Chen Fei!"

"I didn't disappoint the "old-timers" in China, life is endless, and the struggle is endless! ”

"A film with tears in the warmth, the chairman of the jury, Stephen Freys, praised it vigorously, saying that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

"Old artists? Are you watching? ”

After winning the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 05, after two years, I won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival!

Chen Fei's record simply made a group of domestic literary film directors tingle when they watched it!

What's more, he is not a director who focuses on shooting literary films, his real main business is actually making commercial films, and he is also the youngest A-class production director in Hollywood's history!

It's a bit scary.

Since his debut, he has only made two literary films, but he has won the Golden Bear and the Golden Palm one after another, directly establishing a lofty position in the international literary and artistic circle!

In comparison, those old men who say cool things on the domestic portal are simply ridiculous!

One by one, the corpses are just vegetarian meals, and they have no achievements, and the words they say are even more pale and weak.

Now that the "Palme d'Or" has been won by Chen Fei, their speech on the Internet a few days ago is like clownfish, ugly and vulgar!

…

"The banner has been hung up for you, haha, you kid is really awesome, he actually won a golden palm."

Zhao Zhenyangle's mouth couldn't close, and he kept telling Chen Fei about some situations in China.

"The school is very happy, someone proposed to prepare a celebration banquet for Ling, and the old things who were still working on joint letters were silenced one by one, and now none of them dare to take the lead.

I heard that Professor Jiang has repeatedly hit a wall in Venice, and Lu Chuan's movie has been beaten back twice, and that guy is about to be shut up..."

Chen Fei was listening here, and Le's mouth couldn't close.

Before, those old things were clamoring to ban him!

It's good now, let alone blocked, there is not even a person who dares to jump out and sarcastically say two sentences!

They are actually very cowardly, after all, the support for Chen Fei is completely unsparing at all, and now with the addition of a Palme d'Or trophy, Chen Fei's status has been directly elevated.

Who would dare to take the lead at this time?

Isn't this pure death!

The gold content of the four words "returning with honor" is not comparable to a group of old guys who "have a vegetarian meal in the corpse".

Han Sanping also called, with undisguised excitement in her voice.

"I didn't expect that the most promising Wang Jiawei didn't even have an award, but you won the Palme d'Or!"

He knew that this kid would definitely be able to do it, and there was still a 10% investment in China Film in this film, and the "name" he was looking for had already been obtained.

The movie he invested in won the Palme d'Or, and anyone has to give him a thumbs up to Han Sanping!

"Haha, it's just that I'm lucky, I didn't expect to win such a big award."

With the help of the only Palme d'Or trophy in China, Chen Kaige has become a strong leader among the first-line directors, gaining fame and fortune.

Now that he Chen Fei won the Golden Bear first in the year of the weak crown, and then cut the Golden Palm, who in China can have such strength as him?

…

After chatting a few words, Chen Fei hung up the phone and began to look at the bidding table on the table.

After the closing ceremony, filmmakers from all over the world came one after another, and the prices given were higher than one another!

Chen Fei didn't care who the buyer was, anyway, it was the same for whoever he sold to, so he simply asked for it, and whoever offered the highest price would sell it to whomever he wanted.

This kind of warm literary and artistic theme movie can move people's hearts the most, if the actors' acting skills are good enough and the production is good enough, it can give the audience an excellent viewing experience!

Therefore, filmmakers in Europe, America and Asia offer extremely high prices.

Although the prices offered by filmmakers in other countries are not low, they are still much worse than those big filmmakers in comparison.

What surprised Chen Fei the most was that the highest price was the "Dongbao Co., Ltd." film company over there!

The $30 million offer really surprised him.

"Yo, you're very rich? The offer is so generous? ”

Toho Co., Ltd.'s film buying representative is named Toshiharu Morinaga, and he seems to be polite and polite, and he is the same type as the people in South Korea, so he is quite polite.

After meeting in the hotel and greeting each other, Chen Fei was quite surprised: "Mr. Morinaga seems to be very optimistic about the performance of my film in your country?" ”

Toshiharu Morinaga had a smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze:

"Director Chen may not have paid attention to it, but your influence in my country is very high, and many of your works have been well received.

And because the social foundations of our two countries are almost the same, and the theme of your film is also applicable to our country's national conditions, I believe that there will definitely be a good performance after the introduction. ”

Chen Fei nodded silently, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

If he remembers correctly, before his rebirth, "Thief Family" seemed to be a movie produced by Toho Co., Ltd.

Isn't this a kind of face-to-face NTR?

The price offered by the other party was very high, and Chen Fei naturally had no reason to refuse, even if he signed a copyright authorization agreement.

Before parting, Toshiharu Morinaga said very sincerely: "If Director Chen has a suitable work, please also contact me, Toho Co., Ltd. is a mature Japanese film production company, we have as many as 350 theaters, occupying a high proportion of the market share in China, I believe it will bring you a great experience..."

"Okay, if there's a suitable script, I'll definitely contact your company."

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly thought of the three scripts in his script library.

"My Unexpected Dad", "Spirited Away", "Your Name"...

Don't rush now, you have to take the good things out slowly.

…

After staying in Cannes for three whole days and "playing" with as many as 100 film companies, Chen Fei returned with a bunch of contracts and a full load!

A golden palm has won him a yield of nearly 1,000 times, which is a lot of money!

He first flew to Hollywood and went to Marvel to learn about the box office situation of "Iron Man".

It has been exactly a month since its release on April 27, and although the North American side has not yet been painted, the approximate box office trend has been clear.

Coming to Marvel Studios' new office building, Chen Fei got the latest box office report card from Kevin Feige.

The North American box office is $430 million.

The total global box office has accumulated 815 million.

Kevin Feige was very excited and said: "The box office trend is fantastic, and your global influence has played a great publicity effect.

So far, in the first half of the Hollywood movie box office rankings, "Iron Man" is still far ahead.

However, the follow-up "Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" box office trend is very strong, and I am afraid that our leading trend will not last long. ”

"That's fine, it's far more than I expected."

The release period of domestic movies is usually one month, but it is different abroad, there is no limit to this time, it all depends on the arrangement of the theater company.

According to the current trend, the final box office of "Iron Man" should be fixed at around $850 million.

After sharing the account with the theater chain, you can get at least 425 million US dollars.

After removing the investment of 140 million US dollars, we can finally get about 285 million US dollars.

And this is just the share of the box office, the follow-up videotapes, DVDs, video copyrights, and TV copyrights are the real big heads, plus the sales of various peripherals, the final estimated income must be at least 5-600 million US dollars!

After thinking for a while, Chen Fei instructed: "Go and talk to the theaters in North America, and say that Marvel Studios requires us to increase the proportion of box office revenue."

Negotiate with a floor price of $500 million, and if the North American box office of the new film exceeds $500 million, the proportion of the account sharing needs to be mentioned at least 55%, and if not, it will be divided according to the original contract.

In this regard, you find a few statistical calculations, try to negotiate a sequential increase model, and strive to maximize the box office share benefits. ”

This sharing model originally belonged only to the existing six giants in Hollywood, but with the success of Chen Fei's two successive Class A productions, he naturally has the confidence to bargain.

"Okay, I see."

Kevin Feige nodded heavily, a hint of frenzy in his eyes.

Years of financial pressure have almost overwhelmed him, and with the appearance of "Iron Man", it disappeared in an instant, and he even had the qualifications to negotiate conditions with the theater!

Refreshing!

It's really grandma's cool!

…

It's the beginning of June now, and the competition for summer vacation has begun.

The comedy "One Night Big Belly", produced by Universal Pictures and starring Seth Rogan, is facing off against Sony Columbia's disaster film "2012".

The box office of "One Night Belly" was as high as 30 million US dollars in the first weekend, but "2012" slashed 65 million US dollars in the first weekend.

There is no doubt that the former failed in a mess.

Of course, the investment of the two is not of the same magnitude, and the latter's investment of up to $200 million is far more than the former's $30 million!

It's a pity that in the face of last week's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the latter two are still a little sluggish.

Walker Engel didn't care, and called Chen Fei very warmly to invite Chen Fei to the celebration banquet.

"Fei, we don't want to compete with Disney, after all, there are too many supporters of the pirate trilogy, and we can't have a chance of winning.

And the audience of disaster films is also relatively fixed, as long as the cost can be recovered at the box office, it is a big profit for us, Sony is specialized in the image industry, and the income in this regard is far from being comparable to the theater box office. ”

"Ok, I'll be there as promised."

While Chen Fei said that he would definitely go to Sony Columbia Pictures, he secretly thought in his heart.

The IP of "Spider-Man" was sold to Sony by Marvel early, and it is impossible to take it back now, and that side will definitely not agree.

But the follow-up Avengers can't do without Spider-Man, so this role must be fought for.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no competition between the two sides for the time being, maybe we can talk about the follow-up development of the Spider-Man IP, after all, the authorization of the main copyright and the development of character peripherals is still in the hands of Marvel.

Among the hundreds of princes, there is a family called "Zonghengjia", and Chen Fei likes their ideas very much.

Vertical and horizontal!

Naturally, this approach can also be used in cooperation with competitors.

…

After focusing on the release time of "The Incredible Hulk" and the preparations for the follow-up "Thor" and "Captain America", Chen Fei left Marvel Studios and returned to Walton Pictures.

The follow-up production of "Robot Wall-E" is in full swing, and the animation studio has completed some of the prop production.

It's a pity that Chen Fei has to go back to China to shoot "Mulan" first, so he can only put aside the work here for the time being.

This time, he came back mainly to learn about the publicity work of "Twilight".

The release date of Twilight's first part is scheduled for the end of June, and the 72-year-old old Woody Allen is in good spirits and is quite excited.

"Fei, the early publicity effect is very good, as you wish, our main publicity scope is still teenagers, maybe there will be a great harvest."

Chen Fei smiled and quipped, "How is it?" Isn't it a great feeling to be with young people? ”

"That's nature! I felt like I was years younger, full of energy. ”

Seeing his state, Chen Fei turned around and opened his backpack and took out two scripts from it.

"So... Mr. Woody Allen, would you like to move on with the filming of Twilight's second and third films? ”

The scripts for Twilight 2 and Twilight 3 lay in Chen Fei's script library very early, but he was not in a hurry to take them out.

The reputation of the following films in the original version is getting worse and worse, and the quality of the script is also worrying, which is also a key factor that limits the box office and influence of the movie.

Therefore, in his spare time, Chen Fei will modify the details according to his own ideas, and while continuing to maintain the bloody plot that is attractive to teenagers, he also adjusts the overall character of the heroine.

Love triangle is not impossible, but the operation of the original heroine is too "little fairy"!

You don't like him, why are you kissing him?

Just like the hot search that Chen Fei saw before he was reborn.

"I'm not pregnant, he just put it in there, he didn't move..."

This operation is really too much!

Pinru is ashamed to hear it!

In addition to some plot adjustments, Chen Fei also added some battle scenes showing vampires and werewolves in terms of visual effects.

The original work is because there are too few performances in fantasy, so the audience will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, he decided to add magic, demons, hell, angels, wizards, and all kinds of other scenes, trying to get closer to Harry Potter.

Even if you can't reach Harry's height, at least don't mess up too much, it's really damaging your image.

After taking the script, Woody Allen flipped through it carefully, and a bright light gradually flashed in his eyes.

"I love this story!"

Half an hour later, he looked up at Chen Fei and assured very seriously: "Fei, believe me, I will give you a big surprise." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your big surprise."

The subsequent signing of the contract with Woody Allen has nothing to do with Chen Fei, and Natasha will be in charge of this business.

However, just as he was about to leave the company and go directly to the airport to take an international flight, Bruce found him and handed him two invitations.

"Warner Bros. Pictures asked me to invite you to the premiere of Ocean's Thirteen, and they wanted you to be there to help and expressed their desire to talk to you about the next collaboration."

Thirteen Arhats?

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then a name suddenly popped up in his mind.

Hollywood Prodigy: Steven Soderbergh!

The 44-year-old bald white director is quite interesting, and at the age of 26, he won the Palme d'Or for the best picture in Cannes, which is coveted by countless literary film directors.

Seven years ago, he was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director at the 73rd Academy Awards for "Never Compromise" and "Reader".

In the end, he defeated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and won all these two awards.

After that, he remade the classic old film "Ocean's Eleven", and the global box office exceeded 400 million, once again achieving a huge victory!

Because of his achievements, he won the title of "prodigy director".

Whenever a young talented director comes out of the blue, the media will bring him out and compare him to him.

Chen Fei is naturally one of the comparators.

It's just that with his "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Iron Man" both victories, coupled with the Palme d'Or not long ago, it is obviously much better than Steven Soderbergh!

During this time, no one in the media compared the two of them anymore, after all, Chen Fei's excellence is really not comparable to ordinary people!

Literature and art, business, the two major fields are killed, a batch of cattle!

"Let Natasha go instead of me, there are too many domestic affairs, I don't have time."

Chen Fei said as he looked at another invitation.

Bruce took the opportunity to say: "This is an invitation from 20th Century Fox, and they want you to attend the premiere of "Fantastic Four 2". ”

"No, no."

Chen Fei was a little angry when he heard this, this Marvel didn't know what to do before, and sold so many excellent movie copyrights.

"Fantastic Four" and "X-Men", what two good IPs, they were packaged and sold to 20th Century Fox.

It's really stupid to step on a horse!

"Shall I go?"

"Well, you can go for me, and by the way, ask them if they are interested in returning the movie copyright, and I can recycle it at a premium."

"I'll try my best."

Bruce shrugged his shoulders and didn't expect much.

20th Century Fox is not stupid, such two hot big IPs, they will definitely not make a move easily.

…

On June 5, Chen Fei landed at Hengdian Airport.

"Mulan" will shoot some shots about the palace and palace in the future, and there happens to be a ready-made building complex here, so just use it directly.

There were many reporters and paparazzi squatting in the airport, and Chen Fei deliberately took the VIP channel to avoid meeting them.

He even wrapped himself tightly, and tried to avoid fans recognizing him.

The word "fan" has been a bit obscure lately, so it's better not to touch it or not.

Although Liu Tianwang can't afford the box office, his charm is quack-strong!

Bastard meals are terrible!

After thirteen years of chasing stars, he forced his father to commit suicide, and his suicide note was full of insults to the king.

What's even particularly bloody is that while the other party scolded, he also asked the king of heaven to meet with his daughter!

The group of media and paparazzi in China and Hong Kong are purely watching the excitement and not thinking that it is a big deal, and the word "moral kidnapping" is played by them to the fullest!

Promise to meet and persuade him to return home... The other party still has to inch in, unscrupulous, and even has a feeling that there are people behind their backs to support them!

It's good now, Daddy is gone.

It's really sad and ridiculous!

The music scene is also chaotic enough, and there is even a certain singer who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and openly engages in "charitable donations", playing the three words "no bottom line" extremely transparently.

Do you dare to rub this kind of heat?

The real king is a soft persimmon, anyone can come up and pinch two?
