271, Chen Fei screenwriter, 100 million investment! Upper! The General Administration is strongly supporting! Chen Kexin, dig your own grave!
Just returned to the crew of "Mulan", and the Palme d'Or trophy was snatched away by Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen.
A bunch of people surrounded them, touching them with great interest, and even those who exaggerated still held on to their lives and didn't let go, taking photos one after another.
Ning Hao, who was helping the crew, was about to drip down.
He was also embarrassed to go up and grab a group of young people, so he could only sigh again and again next to him: "Tsk, this trophy is so beautiful." ”
"What? Still thinking about your dream of literary films? ”
Ning Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "As long as you are a director, no one can resist this temptation." ”
Golden Bear, Golden Palm.
The three gold medals in Europe have already been won by Chen Fei, and after giving him a few years, I am afraid that there will be a three-gold grand slam in the domestic literary and art circle!
Who can not envy this?
The human heart is always dissatisfied.
With the help of Chen Fei's script, Ning Hao has won almost all the domestic awards.
He's just waiting to go international.
In fact, he himself was writing scripts during this time, and Chen Fei also agreed with him at the beginning that as long as it was a script written by him, Feiyue Film and Television would support it unconditionally.
It's a pity that the few books he wrote always felt panicked, and they were all thrown into the trash in the end.
Chen Fei changed the topic: "How did you do in the later stage of Thai embarrassment?" ”
After collecting his thoughts, Ning Hao replied: "It's done, the Film Bureau has passed it at one time, and the three companies of China Film and Shangying Wanda promise to fully cooperate with the publicity and prepare for the National Day schedule." ”
"That's good."
Chen Fei nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "What are the arrangements for the second half of the year?" Go back and serve Sister Na first? ”
"That's not necessary, the family hired a nanny."
Ning Hao said, his eyes unconsciously lit up: "What? There's a new script again? ”
"Hmm."
Chen Fei didn't hide what he meant, and took out the script of "Painted Skin" from his bag and handed it to him.
"Fantasy movies, the difficulty of filming is much higher than that of Tai Yi and his partners, adapted from the first volume of the short story collection "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" created by Pu Songling, 40 times..."
Ning Hao flipped through the script and gradually fell into the story.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, Duwei Wang Sheng rescued a woman named Xiao Wei when he was in the Western Regions.
Xiao Wei is a beautiful fox in the sky, after Wang Sheng rescued him, she fell in love with him at first sight, she lived in Wang Sheng's house under the name of her sister, but saw that Wang Sheng and his wife Pei Rong had a deep relationship, and she was jealous.
Xiao Wei needs to eat people's hearts to maintain his human form, and Xiao Yi, the lizard spirit who has been helping Xiao Wei find people's hearts, likes Xiao Wei very much, but Xiao Wei has never accepted him.
Pei Rong doubted Xiao Wei's identity, so she asked Pang Yong, the former commander of the Wang family's army, for help, and Xiao Wei's identity was gradually revealed...
"Love?"
Ning Hao muttered to himself, looking at the various lives described in the script about the love of everyone, the love of demons, and the love of demons, he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.
It was hard for him to imagine that this kind of script was actually written by Chen Fei!
"Are you in love? Or was it dumped? This script is really tangled. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Fei didn't react for a while.
In a trance, he rolled his eyes and said a little speechlessly: "The adapted script doesn't require me to experience what it's like to be in love, it's enough to be familiar with the story framework." ”
Ning Hao stood up, didn't answer his words, put away the notebook with a smile, and began to pack up his belongings.
"Since you're back, then there's nothing for me here, I'll take the script back to the company first, and let them send it to the Film Bureau for review."
"Okay."
Chen Fei nodded, glanced at the people who were still gathered in front of the trophy, and personally sent Ning Hao out of the crew.
Huang Bo noticed the movement of the two, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the two.
"Director Ning wants to go back to the capital?"
"yes, yes." Ning Hao responded with a smile: "The follow-up will be handed over to you, you, the assistant director, have two brushes, work hard." ”
"Haha, okay, we'll see you later."
Saying goodbye to Ning Hao, Chen Fei and Huang Bo returned to the crew and began to shout at the actors to prepare for filming.
Chen Daoming and Jiao Enjun are already in place, and the scenes about the emperor, general, and Mulan have begun, and the crew of "Mulan", which has been interrupted for a month, is lively again.
The reporters soon found out the news of Chen Fei's return to China, and for a while, there was a heated discussion on the Internet.
Someone wanted to join the group for an interview, but was stopped by the staff.
"The filming of "Mulan" has reached a very important stage, and in the past half a month, Director Chen will not accept any form of interview from the outside world, please forgive me."
As soon as these words came out, the reporters could only return gloomily and leave it at that.
Liu Tianwang's matter was still in an uproar, Chen Fei didn't want to get involved, even if he expressed his opinion, he was not very happy.
The relationship between fans and celebrities is like water and boats.
Water can carry boats, but it can also capsize boats, and if this thing is not handled well, it is simply a disaster!
…
After returning to the capital, Ning Hao submitted "Painted Skin" to the Film Bureau for review as soon as possible.
It had just been sent over there, and there was already news outside.
"Following the completion of "Thai Embarrassment", after half a year, Ning Hao's new film has been submitted to the Film Bureau for review and ......"
When the news came out, there was an uproar in the circle!
New films?
Boy! High yield like a sow!
Under Su Guohai's arrangement, Ning Hao was interviewed by reporters and revealed some script news.
"The new film will focus on fantasy themes, still written by Chen Fei, based on "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", with a total investment of up to 100 million yuan......"
The reporters at the scene all pressed the shutter of the camera.
Chen Fei screenwriter, 100 million investment!
According to past experience, just these eight words are worth at least 300 million box office.
Not to mention that the subject matter is still a fantasy genre that many fans like to see, and "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" doesn't need much explanation, Pu Songling's name is almost universally known!
The script review hasn't even passed yet, but the actors in the circle have been busy, showing their talents, and starting to find out the news.
During this time, the music industry was completely occupied by Liu Tianwang's fan incident, but on the film industry, it was you who sang and I appeared, which is called a hilarious!
Chen Fei was the first to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and his $70 million Sino-American co-production "Mulan" is currently being filmed.
Li Press's "Lust and Caution" is charging towards the Venice Film Festival, and the hope of winning the award is extremely high!
And Chen Kexin's "Casting Names" and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" have just been completed, and they are currently in the late stage, and all kinds of insider stories about film shooting have frequently broken out on the Internet.
On the other hand, Chen Kaige's new film "Mei Lanfang" also announced the start-up, but the filming progress was a little slow.
Lu Chuan is much more interesting, he failed to compete in Cannes, turned around and went to Venice again, and now he has created rumors that the film has been beaten back by the Film Bureau eight times in a row!
Fans are a little curious, what kind of film did this guy make?
When it was first launched, it was advertised that this was an anti-Japanese film, but shouldn't war films pass the review very well? Why is it being treated so strictly by the Film Bureau?
All kinds of news are densely spread on the Internet, and it is called a boil.
…
Han Sanping called suddenly, and just when Chen Fei thought he was going to inquire about the investment in "Painted Skin", he suddenly notified a message.
"Come to China Film for a meeting the day after tomorrow, be sure to arrive."
As soon as he heard this, Chen Fei's heart suddenly understood, and he smiled and said, "Haha, congratulations to Han Dong for his promotion." ”
"Okay, don't be poor, you can't shirk it this time, except for you, all the heads of major companies in the film and television industry have to come, this is a hard requirement above..."
Han Sanping is also very happy, and her long-term wish has finally come true today.
Zhongying will have the final say in the future, although this will lead to greater pressure on his follow-up work, but the feeling of holding all the power in his hands is not comparable to that of a vice president.
Chen Fei promised: "Okay, I'll let my assistant buy a plane ticket." ”
After a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, what is the situation of "Painted Skin"? ”
Well, it's back again.
Chen Fei grinned: "That's all a trivial matter, it's still an old rule, you then arrange someone to go to Su Guohai, and the investment share that should be distributed has been set." ”
"Haha, I just like your character, uninhibited, but much brighter than some people."
Chen Fei climbed up the pole: "Then let's cooperate with the follow-up introduction of films......"
"You can rest assured, I have been cooperating for so long, I should arrange it for you absolutely in place, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
"Okay, I'll see you the day after tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feidang even contacted the company and asked him to book a ticket for himself first.
The filming of "Mulan" is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The emperor played by Chen Daoming has absolutely nothing to say, that posture is not comparable to ordinary people, Liu Yifei has been a little unable to catch the scene several times.
This old actor has a very good personality, and he also likes to add drama to himself and the actors, which usually makes Chen Fei feel bright!
He suddenly understood Lao Mouzi's propaganda methods.
Although it is a bit too much for the director to be shocked 800 times a day, there will still be shocks two or three times.
…
According to the agreed time, Chen Fei arrived at China Film Group on time.
As Han Sanping said, the "leaders" in the film and television industry are here today.
Even Zhang Weiping, who had a conflict with Han Sanping, was carrying a briefcase and holding a thermos cup in his hand, which looked quite leisurely.
It's just that when Wang Zhonglei intentionally or unintentionally mentioned "The City is Full of Golden Armor", this person's face instantly became gloomy.
Lao Mouzi recently got on the bar with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and his busy feet did not touch the ground.
There is news about him every day from the Sports Bureau, and judging from the video that came out, Lao Mouzi is visibly haggard to the naked eye.
That job seems to be really hard to do!
"Director Chen, didn't you notify me when you came back? Show me the Palme d'Or, we're still partners. ”
Ren Zhonglun's voice was loud, as if he was afraid that others would not know that Shangying was responsible for the domestic publicity of "Thief Family".
"Hey, I knew you were going to say that."
Chen Fei took the Palme d'Or trophy out of his bag and handed it to Ren Zhonglun.
Next to him, the heads of several film companies such as Wanda, Guangguang, Bona, and Huayi looked at it with a burst of redness.
Although literary films don't make much money, they don't make much money because they are literary films made by others, and Chen Fei is a special case!
"No Man's Land" invested 5 million yuan, but the box office directly exceeded 100 million, which scared the group of old guys in the literary circle.
Now that his new film has won the Palme d'Or, coupled with his own super high box office appeal, there is no doubt that Shangying is going to make money again this time.
"This trophy is beautiful, shiny."
Ren Zhonglun deliberately lifted it up, which immediately made a group of directors in the literary circle standing on the other side envious.
The faces of several old men turned even paler to the naked eye, and it was obvious that they had been answered.
If it weren't for the staff of Zhongying over there shouting for everyone to enter, I'm afraid that a few of the old men in that group would have fallen to the ground on the spot.
…
Taking advantage of the change of office of China Film, today's meeting is quite grand.
There were a lot of people coming over from the General Bureau, mostly middle-aged, and there was no old man in the team, which was obviously a good omen.
Everyone found their seats and sat down.
Taking advantage of the time to sit down, Chen Fei looked around, and couldn't help but be amazed!
Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan... Almost all private film companies, distribution companies, cinema companies, film and television investment companies, as well as well-known literary and commercial film directors in the circle were all present.
Chen Fei didn't like to listen to the leaders talk about the official tone, so he resigned for various reasons in many previous meetings.
I really can't shirk it today, so I came to the scene.
Su Guohai was very serious, and even deliberately took a notebook to listen to the speeches of the leaders on the stage.
Chen Fei didn't learn from him, so after listening to it for half an hour, he summed up a few useful pieces of news from it.
is not only the change of China Film, but also the new boss is in place, and directly put forward the issue of attaching importance to the film and television cultural industry, wanting to firmly hold the high ground of public opinion in his hands and carry out reverse output......
Han Sanping was invited to speak on stage.
This is a pragmatic person, and all kinds of data blurted out, which made the faces of many people in the audience gradually change, especially the handful of people engaged in literature and art, and they were even more up-and-down.
The leader took over the topic and directly put forward the request.
"Support commercial films! Accelerate the development momentum of the cinema chain! We must find a way to let domestic film and television go out! And not only rely on imports! ”
The leader spoke in a heavy tone, apparently instructed.
But Chen Fei only heard one sentence: box office is more important than copyright.
He turned his head to look at the literary film, Lao Jia's face was a little embarrassed, his movie that won the Golden Lion was indeed a bit miserable at the box office!
"Chen Fei, do you have anything to say?"
A shout directly pulled Chen Fei, who was still out of the world, back.
Looking ahead, looking at Tong Ju with a kind expression, he instantly understood what the other party meant.
This is to give him a leading role!
Thinking in his heart, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Fei slowly stood up.
"Ahem."
He coughed twice and said: "Feiyue Film and Television will focus on expanding new areas in the future, and strive to make the box office go up and make the entire industry better."
Our company is currently filming "Mulan", and will launch a series of commercial productions such as "Thai Embarrassment", "Ip Man 2", "Eavesdropping 2", "Painted Skin" and so on.
The future development direction of our company will be committed to promoting national culture, inheriting the national spirit, making our films go international, and developing the influence of domestic actors in the international ......"
These words were very popular, and several leaders on the stage were laughing.
After all, he's not bragging, he's actually doing it!
"Okay, if there is anything you need help with, you can boldly respond to the top, and we will definitely do our best to cooperate."
This is a little too obvious, and it is obvious that he wants to support him.
The corner of his eye swept over the literary circle, and several old men had begun to tremble and take out the emergency heart-saving pill from their pockets, obviously unable to bear it.
"Sanping, you can also make a statement."
"Good!"
The new official took office with three fires, and the third master was called a bright one.
"2012", "Red Cliff", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Vote for Names", "Mei Lanfang", "Nanjing! Nanking! 》… China Film will devote itself to the investment and shooting of large-scale productions, and strive to achieve opportunities for development. ”
"Good!"
The children's bureau took the initiative to start applauding, but some people were happy and some were worried.
The old man is here, he is not cowardly at all, anyway, he can play in literature and business.
The smile on Feng Xiaogang's face was bright, and he felt as if he was on the right path, not only was there someone leading him in front, but there were also people in the back to help him.
Only Chen Kaige's face was stiff, and the failure of "Wuji" undoubtedly gave him a heavy blow.
It's really hard for him to play commercial films.
In the past, he could hold his head high in front of the leaders with the only Palme d'Or award in China, but now, with Chen Fei winning back another Palme d'Or, he inexplicably felt like he was on pins and needles.
"Mei Lanfang" must win!
He just couldn't afford to lose.
…
The meeting is over.
Everyone was walking out, but Chen Fei noticed that Lu Chuan, who was belated, actually walked towards one of the leaders and had a good conversation with the other party.
Wang Changtian suddenly came over and whispered: "Someone above has spoken, "Nanjing! Nanking! It's been reviewed. ”
Tut?
It's not just the bad guys in the crowd!
"Your "Painted Skin" ......"
Lao Wang began to play his little abacus again.
Chen Fei said with a smile: "I'll say hello to Ning Hao, your light actors are still very good." ”
"Thank you."
Although it is a pity that he can't get his hands on the investment share, Wang Changtian is much more courageous than Zhang Weiping, this thing pays attention to a trickle of water, and he will always find an opportunity.
Ren Zhonglun followed Chen Fei to the company.
In addition to signing the contract for "Painted Skin", he is also ready to discuss with Chen Fei about the release schedule of "Thief Family".
""Thai Embarrassment" will be placed in the National Day file, and the "Mulan" I am filming now is going to catch up with the Chinese New Year, and "Twilight" will enter mainland theaters in early July, and "Thief Family" will be selected in mid-July.
The schedules in August and September were given to "Ip Man 2" and "Eavesdropping 2", and the Emperor and Media Asia arranged their own arrangements. ”
In a few words, Chen Fei had already arranged the release schedule.
"Hey? You don't leave any way for other companies to live? ”
Ren Zhonglun was a little crying and laughing.
Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" was on October 9th, and Chen Kexin's "Casting Names" was scheduled for the Chinese New Year, but Chen Fei turned his head and put "Thai Embarrassment" and "Mulan" on top!
This operation must not make Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kexin depressed?
"It won't be put on the same day to fight, it will definitely be separated by more than a week, and it has been coordinated with several theaters."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
casually signed his name on the contract of "Painted Skin", Ren Zhonglun stood up, and before leaving, he specially instructed:
"You have to cooperate with the follow-up promotion, the leader just finished speaking today, and we will try our best to raise the box office."
"Okay, no problem."
Chen Fei readily agreed.
…
The review from the Film Bureau was very fast, and the green light was given all the way.
After handing over the preparation and casting of "Painted Skin" to Su Guohai and Ning Hao, Chen Fei returned to Hengdian again, ready to continue the filming of "Mulan".
It's just that he didn't expect that the plane had just landed here, and Chen Kexin over there actually directed and acted in a good show.
In an interview with reporters, Chen Kexin was ashamed, saying that he invested 40 million US dollars in "Casting a Name", spending every penny on the blade, and also satirized the extravagance of other directors' costume films.
""Hero", "Wuji", "Night Banquet", "The City is Full of Golden Armor", the actors in these movies are all gorgeously dressed, all of them are extravagant, and they convey bad values, but I am different, the actors' acting skills are the primary goal, and the others are just auxiliary, and if you can save it, you can save ......"
He was quite right, saving money is naturally good.
However, as soon as the interview ended, someone broke out the internal purchase order of "Casting Names".
A prop knife, 500 US dollars.
A tattered garment, 1,000 US dollars.
A set of full-body armor, 10,000 US dollars.
In an instant, the voice of praise on the Internet took a sharp turn!
"That's how to save money?"
"I'm Nima, I thought Li Lian's salary of 100 million yuan was ruthless enough, it turns out that the real ruthless person is here."
"It's called auxiliary? This pedal is called assisting? I just want to know how many kickbacks Chen Kexin has taken in it? ”
"What the hell is a bad debt? Do you need to level it this way? ”
"Tsk, this is the excellence of Hong Kong Island directors? It's really enough, but how can you scatter the money in the mainland as waste paper? ”
There are heated discussions on the Internet, and the eighteenth generation of Chen Kexin's ancestors has been turned out by netizens, and even the publicity of the later stage of the movie has been affected.
Chen Feiquan should have fun, he is quite curious, how will Chen Kexin end this scene?
