Outside the theater, when Chen Fei stepped on the red carpet in an expensive suit, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people at the scene.

Although the protagonist of "Twilight" is not him, he is no less important than the protagonist!

As the chief content executive of Walton Pictures and Marvel Studios, he has countless scripts in his hands and is the object that countless producers and studios want to work with.

As a director, he holds two international awards, the Golden Bear and the Palme d'Or, as well as the Saturn Award for Best Director, Best Picture and other awards, and he also has a great reputation in Hollywood!

What's more critical is his achievements in Class A productions.

A "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" made him win 750 million US dollars, ranking third in the global box office list in 06, leading Walton Pictures to rank among the top ten film and television production companies in North America!

And this year, a "Iron Man" collected 870 million US dollars, ranking first in the box office list in the first half of 07!

In addition, Marvel, which should have been on the verge of bankruptcy, was directly revitalized by him, and now it is rumored that Marvel Studios has two major productions in preparation.

At the same time, he has created a great reputation in the field of horror thrillers, and is affectionately called the "father of horror films" by fans.

What's even more shocking is that he is also the global spokesperson of Red Bull Extreme Athletes, enjoying an endorsement fee of up to $200 million!

With these countless achievements, he already has a good status in Hollywood.

…

"Director Chen! Look here! ”

A reporter who was closer to Chen Fei shouted and pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand.

"Click!"

With a flash of light, Chen Fei, who has an aura of two meters eight, once again made domestic headlines and became the object of discussion among countless people in the industry.

"Fei, I've finally got you here."

Arnold Gonzalez, vice president of production at Universal Pictures, was there today to congratulate Chen Fei on winning the Palme d'Or and to support his daughter's new debut.

Kristen Stewart is dressed up beautifully today, in a white gown, which sets off her skin as white as milk.

The girl smiled very sweetly, and greeted Chen Fei prettyly.

"Haha, Mr. Arnold, you're welcome."

Chen Fei cordially greeted everyone who came to support him, and he did not resist the deliberate posting of some actresses, because this is very common in Hollywood.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Ziyi also came to the twilight premiere, and she was followed by a woman who frequently changed her husband for profit.

Wendy Dun!

How did this News Corp. proprietress show up at Twilight's premiere?

"Director Chen, long time no see." Zhang Ziyi is very enthusiastic.

"Sister Ziyi, Ms. Deng."

Even though his heart was full of doubts, Chen Fei still smiled and greeted the two.

After taking some free time, Chen Fei glanced at the "little lover" Amanda Seyfried.

The girl smiled slightly, with bright teeth, very cute.

Walking to Natasha's side quietly, Chen Fei asked Wendy Deng about the purpose of coming here, this woman is not easy to get along with, there are many thieves in her heart, so you have to avoid her.

Zhang Ziyi is also unlucky enough, if she follows her, she will have to be sold sooner or later.

"They took the initiative to ask for it, saying that they were here to increase your popularity and support the release of the new movie."

Add popularity to me?

"Hey? It's really good to put gold on your face! ”

Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh, buddy's popularity in Hollywood still needs to be supported? That's a high-sounding reason.

After greeting Xiao Lizi and other actors who came to support, producers and directors of major companies, everyone entered the theater.

Wendy Deng pulled Zhang Ziyi and seemed to want to sit next to Chen Fei, but was preempted by two little girls, Kristen Stewart and Amanda Seyfried, who surrounded him in the middle.

Helpless, the two had to choose to sit behind Chen Fei.

The movie opens quickly.

The reason why Chen Fei doesn't want to hold the premiere is because this movie is completely to make money from high school girls, and he may not like it very much in the eyes of adults.

The audience for this movie is fixed, and maybe people who like "Harry Potter" will also like it, but it is certainly not crazy obsession.

Halfway through the play, Amanda Seyfried watched it very seriously.

Especially when the five members of the Karen family appeared, she couldn't help but scream loudly for their handsomeness, like all the girls in the back row of the theater.

Kristen Stewart is a star-eyed star throughout the whole time, and although the story is a cliché of high school love, the rendered picture is really good, and it is a completely different experience from making a movie.

After watching the two-hour movie, everyone had different thoughts.

Arnold Gonzalez didn't like this type of movie, and he even wondered if the word "FeiChen" in the final screenwriter's column was secretly pasted by some ill-intentioned person.

This movie is too different from Chen Fei's previous style.

Although his style is indeed quite varied, it is still difficult to accept.

The plot is too bloody!

He deliberately analyzed it from the perspective of a professional producer, but finally came to the conclusion that there was a lack of chemistry between the actors, and he relied heavily on extreme close-ups to compensate for the emotional weakness of the leading actors...

Overall, the atmosphere of the film is well shaped, but the plot looks a bit boring and not very much to your own appetite.

“Fei？ Is this really something you wrote? Arnold frowned, his eyes full of doubt.

Chen Fei smiled and nodded: "How is it, do you feel that the plot is stupid?" Aside from the beautiful picture, there doesn't seem to be anything to praise about? ”

"That's exactly what I want to say."

Arnold's face was a little suspicious, how could anyone still comment that the plot he wrote was stupid?

"Allow me to keep it a mystery for now, and when it's officially released, you'll understand what's interesting about this movie."

Chen Fei didn't explain much to him, because the audience of this movie is not these middle-aged audiences at all.

Like Wendy Deng.

Originally, she came with a sense of expectation, but as the plot developed, her inner expectations were quickly shattered.

Feelings of high school students?

It was too ethereal, and the emotion was clearly priced for her, and it wasn't worth telling in a movie at all.

At the end of the show, except for the specially invited book lovers and the younger audience, everyone else had doubts on their faces.

The level of this movie seems to be a little lower than their expectations of Chen Fei?

In the theater, they were not too embarrassed to discuss, but after leaving the theater, the noise instantly rang out!

"This film doesn't seem to be good, huh?"

"What's the situation, Jiang Lang is exhausted?"

"Oh, I almost thought it was another superhero movie."

"The picture is so beautiful, but the story feels a little empty, and will anyone like it when high school students fall in love?"

"Talented screenwriters will also gradually sink to the bottom..."

On a brand-new Cadillac, Wendy Deng's face was full of surprise, and she couldn't help but look at Zhang Ziyi next to her curiously.

"Ziyi? How did you feel after watching the movie? ”

"The picture is very good, it should be quite in line with the interests of the little girls, and it is also very different from Director Chen's previous style..."

She said it very tactfully, but Wendy Deng pursed her lips and was very disdainful: "I think there is probably a lot of water in this golden bear and golden palm, anyway, I don't think this film is good." ”

This time she came to attend the premiere, she actually wanted to cooperate with Chen Fei.

But after watching this movie, she felt that the matter of cooperation had to be carefully considered, if the scripts written by Chen Fei in the future were of this level, then she would not have to pay for death?

Zhang Ziyi smiled and didn't speak.

She could hear the disdain in Wendy Deng's tone, but she couldn't express her subjective opinions, and there were many words in the entertainment industry.

With Chen Fei's current influence in Hollywood, she can be easily banned!

…

After the premiere, there was another party in the evening.

The theme of the party was to celebrate Chen Fei's win to the Palme d'Or and the box office success of "Iron Man".

The data of 870 million US dollars not only shocked Chen Fei, but also surprised a group of people in the circle, they didn't expect this "superhero" who was shirked by many companies to burst out with such a big box office potential!

Someone from ILM also came.

As the head of special effects for "Iron Man", Sandra Netbeck is very satisfied with the work she has personally directed.

"Fei, thank you so much for sending me the Iron Suit, it's really cool, my son and I love it very much."

Chen Fei smiled and hugged him: "Sandra, we will have more cooperation in the future, as long as you can do your best, we can create more interesting steel armors." ”

"Are you saying that Iron Man 2 is already in the works?"

As soon as these words came out, many producers looked at Chen Fei curiously, their faces full of hope.

They want to be a part of it if they can.

There are many companies on the scene that hold the rights to Marvel's superhero movies, and they won't let it go casually.

For example, "Spider-Man", which was bought by Sony, they will never return such a popular IP to Marvel.

But if it's a collaboration to co-create, they'll raise their hands in approval!

"No," Chen Fei shook his head firmly: ""Iron Man 2" will definitely have it, but not now, I decided to shoot a TV series first, which requires a lot of special effects, maybe we can cooperate on this." ”

TV series???

As soon as these words came out, many producers, directors, and actors at the scene showed strong curiosity.

You, a European three-gold + top A-class production director, are going to shoot a TV series? That's a bit too big, isn't it?

Chen Fei still didn't explain much, and sometimes "mystery" is also a unique propaganda method.

…

After the party, Chen Fei said goodbye to the friends and partners who had come to support him, and Chen Fei returned to the estate he had purchased in Beverly Hills with Amanda Seyfried.

"What have you been doing lately?"

Stroking the little lover's pretty face, Chen Fei asked curiously.

A charming look was thrown over, and the girl leaned over to work while muttering: "As you wish, you are working hard to improve your professional skills." ”

Since the filming of "Escape from Desperate Town" ended, at Chen Fei's suggestion, Amanda has returned to school to study.

Now it seems that the results are really good.

The pillow wind is still quite useful, anyway, Chen Fei remembers that in the next two hours or so, he seems to have promised to leave a suitable role for Amanda when he makes a movie next time.

Afterwards, the girl was already slumped on the bed, but the satisfaction on her face did not seem to be fake.

"Fei, when are you going to return to China?"

"I can only stay for two days, and I will be going back soon because I am busy with work in China."

"Then let's get some rest, and we can do it again during the day."

"Hey? Addicted? ”

"Well, I'm so obsessed with your body, it's like a perfume full of seductive smells, it's intoxicating."

…

The day after the premiere, the box office battle officially began.

The media in China are all about Chen Fei's participation in the premiere abroad, and the stars are shining and enviable.

On the foreign side, most of the media and film critics who have collected money in advance are also praising them, which naturally arouses the curiosity of many passers-by.

All of a sudden, more and more people walked into the theater and bought tickets for "The Twilight Zone".

Of course, the main force is still those high school students, after all, the scope of publicity in the early stage is these ignorant and ignorant boys and girls who are full of fantasies about love.

So far, Twilight's opponent is Fox's Fantastic Four 2.

The former was released a week earlier than the curtain light, and because it was a work that Fox came up with in order to compete for the box office rankings, it was much stronger than the curtain light in terms of opening scale.

But the former's first day of painting was not very good, and the fans' reviews were almost mixed.

In fact, the opening results of the original Twilight are not ideal, but this time with the targeted publicity, Chen Fei is still quite confident.

After being woken up by Amanda on the second day, the two first did a two-hour double yoga before packing up and getting ready to go shopping.

I'm running out of sets, so I'm going to have to go out and buy more...

When passing by a movie theater during the period, Chen Fei also went in to see the attendance of "Twilight".

Not surprisingly, the attendance rate was as high as 95%.

Some of the boys can empathize, but most of them say they don't understand it, but many girls almost have red eyes when they come out of the theater!

Seeing this, Chen Fei knew that this wave was a steady win!

Girls make a lot more money than boys.

For example, selling clothes, it is easy to lose money when making men's clothing, but most of them make a lot of money when making women's clothing, and even drive men's consumption power in reverse.

The beloved girls loved the movie so much, how could the boys not take them to see it?

As soon as Chen Fei walked out of the theater, he saw Amanda walking towards him with a handbag, and her pretty face was even more red.

"Fei, I've bought a lot of styles, and it's the first time I've known that there are so many types of small umbrellas."

"Want to know what it's like?"

"Yes!"

"Then go home."

…

At the same time, when Chen Fei and Amanda were doing small scientific research experiments together, major theaters in China also ushered in a wave of movie-watching.

Twilight's propaganda in China is just one sentence: ignorant and brave fantasy love!

Chen Fei's female fans are very curious, how is he going to tell the word "love", which is expected but a little resistant?

On the side of the crew of "Mulan", Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, Jiang Yiyan, Zhu Yawen, and Luo Jin walked into the theater together.

The crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", Yang Mi and a group of girls also walked into the theater.

Here in the capital, Zhao Liying, who had just finished promoting "Golden Wedding" with Jiang Wenli and Zhang Guoli, also walked into the nearest theater.

It's much more lively here in the magic capital.

After signing his personal music album, Hu Ge walked into the theater with Liu Shishi, Lin Yichen, and his current girlfriend Xue Jianing, who came to support him.

But what the four of them didn't expect was that they had just finished buying tickets when a somewhat muffled voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Hello, is there still a show for "Twilight"? I want to charter a venue. ”

Chartered?

The conductor was slightly stunned, but he didn't react.

Hu Ge, who bought tickets and was about to leave, subconsciously turned their heads, and then saw a man with famous brands all over his body, but less than one meter five in height, looking at them indifferently.

"Buy your tickets and leave quickly, don't get in the way."

"I'm sorry..."

Hugo apologized and led the girls to the screening room.

Liu Shishi asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "Who is that?" How do you look familiar? ”

"The screenwriter of "How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams", Guo Jingming."

"Huh? Do you know? ”

Lin Yichen shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "I went to try the play, this person is quite talented, but his temper is not very good." ”

"Then stay away from him."

Liu Shishi didn't know what he thought, and his face was extremely complicated.

…

After waking up early in the morning of the third day, Chen Fei waited for Natasha's call while packing his things.

Fox has announced the first-day box office of "Fantastic Four 2", which is as high as 19.5 million US dollars.

Judging from the box office trend, it is no problem to return to the capital, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the level of a big hit.

The fan evaluation is not very good, and it is really much worse than the first part.

Now there are many people outside waiting for the first day of "Twilight" to open the picture, and there are even many people who are preparing to see Chen Fei's jokes.

After all, in the eyes of most "professionals", this movie is indeed substandard, and it is very different from Chen Fei's previous "boutique" style.

"Jingle bell..."

The phone rang tremblingly, waking Amanda from sleeping.

Chen Fei gestured to her and pressed the connect button.

"On the first day of painting, 34.65 million US dollars!"

"Huh?!"

Chen Fei thought that those little girls' spending power would be very high, but he never expected that young people in North America would be so "trenched"!

This data is even close to catching up with the 37.7 million dollars created by "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

However, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" invested more than 100 million US dollars, while "Twilight" only had 30 million US dollars.

The production cost and publicity cost of the two are not at the same level at all, but the final box office results are extremely close!

The news quickly spread to the cases of major media outlets and film and television production companies.

3465 US Knife ???

Looking at this data, the 20th Century Fox side was directly confused.

A bloody fantasy romance film that mainly talks about teenagers falling in love, the box office on the first day was twice as high as that of "Fantastic Four 2"?

How exactly is this done?

On the side of Universal Pictures, after getting the box office data, Arnold immediately called Kristen Stewart.

"$34.65 million? Is this data true? ”

Christine laughed heartily: "Daddy, it's true, many of my classmates are blessing me, they say I did a great job!" ”

In an instant, Arnold's eyes widened suddenly.

He remembered what Chen Fei said.

"When it's released, you'll know what's "interesting" about this movie. ”

At the time he couldn't understand it, but now it dawned on him!

Chen Fei is not Jiang Lang's talent, he is completely holding back a big move!

The consumption of high school girls is not low!

On the news company's side, Wendy Deng also received the opening data of "Twilight" as soon as possible.

The naked reality was in front of her, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

It is impossible to falsify the data, because this is a statistic made by major theaters, and there is no such thing as inflating the box office.

"So, the film is a success again?"

After being stunned for a while, he quickly picked up the mobile phone on the table and broadcast a number.

"Help me contact Director Chen Fei, and he said that I want to invite him to dinner."

However, after a while, a message came back from there: "Wendi, I'm sorry, Director Chen is rushing to the airport and preparing to return to China, and he refused your request to meet." ”

Wendy Deng: "......"
