280. Take the initiative? Forbes Top 10! Watching the film? Fight you paralyzed!
After arranging the follow-up work of Longxiang Capital, Chen Fei went to pay attention to Eric KGG's progress, and then returned to Walton Pictures with Bruce.
He handed over the negatives of "Mulan" to the editing department for rough cuts, while he went to the animation studio.
The follow-up props and scene construction of "Robot Wall-E" are over, and they are waiting for him to direct and shoot.
Seeing Chen Fei coming, Andrew Brochener was happy.
"Fei, can we finish the final phase of shooting?"
Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, go all out and try to end it in a short time." ”
The cartoon will be used to hit the Chinese New Year slot and next year's Oscar for Best Animated Film, so it must be released in December at the latest.
It's August now, and there are still four months left for them, so time is still quite tight.
Once this animation is complete, he will seamlessly transition into the filming of Game of Thrones.
Marvel is currently doing scene construction and preliminary preparations, and Chen Fei is naturally not responsible for this part of the work, and the mature Hollywood industry has saved him a lot of time.
~
With the arrival of August, the domestic box office of "Twilight" is also officially frozen.
The data of 200 million is simply blinding the eyes of a bunch of people!
Naturally, there are criticisms, after all, the essence of this movie is a bloody romance idol drama, but this does not affect its box office trend at all.
On Douban, even though many people said that the plot was too bad, the score still remained above eight points.
However, the rating on IMDb is a bit miserable, and it has fallen to 6.5 points.
IMDb is the world's most used movie rating platform, and its top 250 movie list is the bible for countless movie fans.
Different from Douban, IMDb adopts a ten-point system, and the deduction of points will be more detailed
At present, the global total box office data has not yet been officially released, but according to the predictions of authoritative sources, there will be at least 450-500 million US dollars!
For a film with an investment cost of only 30 million US dollars, this is undoubtedly a huge victory.
Sony sent him a document in his mailbox.
Since its release on June 1, "2012" has finally created a record of 235 million US dollars at the North American box office and 860 million US dollars at the global box office.
And the score on IMDb is far higher than Twilight, reaching 7.5.
Without a doubt, this is also a big win!
Just at the box office, Sony can get 430 million US dollars, and if you count the subsequent copyrights, this income can steadily climb to 500 million US dollars.
And Chen Fei will also receive a huge share because of this!
When they went to Sony Columbia to attend the celebration banquet, Walker Engel and Roland Emmerichie both had bright smiles on their faces, and they were directly praised around Chen Fei!
"Fei, your talent in screenwriting is the highest I've ever seen!"
"I really hope to cooperate with you in the future!"
Chen Fei smiled and nodded in response: "Don't worry, we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”
Although Spider-Man's copyright cannot be recycled for the time being, he will definitely not let go of this superhero character, which is an indelible link in Marvel's development plan for the next ten years.
But Chen Fei was not ready to immediately propose to cooperate with Sony Columbia, he wanted the other party to take the initiative to come to him.
The initiative must be in the hands of Marvel!
~
After the celebration banquet, Chen Fei returned to the company and devoted himself to the filming of the movie again.
However, it had only been a short time since he had officially started work when Natasha came over with great interest and a bright smile on her face.
"Fei, congratulations, you've made it to the Forbes list!"
Forbes?
Pressing the pause button of the camera, Chen Fei took the magazine.
2007 Forbes Global 100 Celebrity List
As far as the eye can see, his name is impressively ranked 9th!
The publication date shown in the magazine is August 1st, and it is clear that Forbes should have intercepted the report card of the first half of the year and last year.
Recall that during this time period, Chen Fei successively launched many masterpieces such as "Source Code", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Iron Man", "Thief Family" and so on!
The Saturn Award for Best Director and the Palme d'Or have made him famous all over the world!
Plus a few challenging tasks on Red Bull's side, as well as the identity of a global spokesperson...
With the blessing of these many conditions, he successfully ranked among the top 10 of Forbes' Global 100 Celebrities!
"Not bad."
Chen Fei glanced briefly at the other people who were selected.
Behind him is Steven Spielberg, and in front of him is Tom Cruise.
As far as the eye can see, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, the Rolling Stones and other well-known Hollywood talk show actors, movie stars, singers, etc. are on the list!
This kind of list is normally played by the United States itself, and it rarely attracts the attention of the domestic side.
But this year, because Chen Fei advanced to the top ten, it instantly attracted the attention of many people!
The list was reproduced on the same day by domestic portals.
For a while, domestic netizens exploded first!
Someone at the forum popularized science: "The ranking of this list is based on four dimensions: income, Internet influence, publication influence, and TV influence. ”
Someone at the bottom immediately chimed in:
"Good guy, so Director Chen's influence in Hollywood has surpassed Spielberg?"
"It can't be said to be surpassed, after all, this list only counts the results of the second half of last year and the first half of this year, and during this period, Director Chen's influence in Hollywood is really great."
"Good fellow, this rise is faster than riding on a Sky Rocket!"
"No. 9 on the Forbes 100 list of celebrities?"
Su Guohai, who was entertaining at a drinking party, received the news as soon as possible.
He was quite a little crying and laughing, his boss was not only prosperous in China, but also not inferior to those internationally renowned directors when he went abroad.
Steven Spielberg is behind him, this pomp and circumstance is simply rattling!
"Mr. Su, hello."
A shout drew Su Guohai's attention.
He turned his head to see a woman in an off-the-shoulder evening gown raising a glass to him.
Manager of Huayi Public Relations Department, Huo Siyan!
Thinking of this woman's achievements, Su Guohai suddenly resisted in his heart.
If you have a family and children, it's better to stay away from her!
"Hello."
Su Guohai nodded lightly, and after clinking glasses with her, he chatted casually for a few words, and then walked quickly to Zhongying's side.
This scene suddenly made Huo Siyan a little confused.
She was still ready to chat a few words first, and then asked if there was a suitable role for herself in "Painted Skin", but she didn't expect Su Guohai to turn his head and slip away as if he had seen a plague god?
With a somewhat depressed snort, she raised her glass and walked to the other director.
~
Although he was abroad, the news from China continued to reach Chen Fei.
The literary circle is doing condolence activities recently, and the famous cross talk actor Mr. Hou Yaowen has passed away, and I heard that the funeral procession is quite large.
As soon as he heard this name, Chen Fei unconsciously remembered Guo Degang and his son.
The sentence "filial piety in front of the hall" is simply sad!
Huang Xiaoming, the "licking dog", finally woke up.
Ning Hao called over and said very gossipy: "It's not a secret that he likes Zhao Yanzi in the circle, but people are obviously playing him like a monkey, and openly saying the rumors between the two on the talk show doesn't give Xiao Ming face at all..."
"And how is he doing now?"
"I fell out of love before I even talked about it, but it just fits the state of Wang Sheng in "Painted Skin", and I am ready to let him bring this feeling to the filming."
"Hey? You are also a talent! ”
"Hahaha!"
Ning Hao looked gloating, he actually paid attention to Huang Xiaoming's state for the first time, and that guy was just very disappointed, and it would definitely not affect the follow-up shooting.
If a big man can't even bear this, then he is still a fart in the entertainment industry?
~
Once the full swing began, WALL-E's filming progress began to take off at a rapid pace.
The improvement of the director's skills made Chen Fei suddenly understand a lot of things, and the original complex problem suddenly seemed effortless when he looked at it now.
And this also made his shooting progress faster and faster!
"Kung Fu Panda" has also started preliminary preparations, and this time Andrew Brocher has learned smartly, and catching Chen Fei is a meal.
A group of people can't wait to pull Chen Fei to work overtime every day!
The Venice International Film Festival will officially open on August 29, and some people in the circle are already starting to rush there.
Even if you can't be shortlisted for the main competition unit, you can still sell the copyright, and maybe you will catch a lot of money from people.
After being silent for a long time, Lu Chuan finally came to life again!
Nanjing! Nanking! held a viewing party in the capital, inviting insiders and fans to participate.
Because the investors are China Film and Huayi, the invitation letter was sent by these two companies on their behalf.
Chen Fei naturally received a copy as well.
"Leap Film and Television won't go."
He called Han Sanping directly and explained his thoughts.
"Ning Hao..."
"He's not going either."
"Hey, you're a tough kid."
Han Sanping couldn't smile bitterly, but she was helpless.
After all, he can't tie Chen Fei up, right? And compared to Chen Fei, Lu Chuan's status in his heart is not much at all.
"I'm thinking that journalists and the media gossip..."
"If you like to talk, let them say go, everyone is very busy, who has time to see his broken pieces."
"Okay, then so be it."
Han Sanping was not reluctant, and hung up the phone.
What Chen Fei didn't expect was that as soon as the phone hung up, Jiang Wen's call came in.
"Director Chen? What have you been doing lately? ”
"What about filming."
"Hollywood?"
"Yes."
"Is it inconvenient for me to visit a class?"
Hey?
As soon as the thought turned, Chen Fei was suddenly happy.
Lao Jiang must have also received an invitation letter from China Film, he can dodge, he can't hide.
Even if it's an excuse to go to the Venice Film Festival, it's not yet here, and it's not suitable to run away in advance...
It just so happened that Chen Fei was abroad, so it was better to defect to him!
"Okay!" Chen Fei immediately responded: "It just so happens that I am short of manpower here, Director Jiang came over to help, and I will give you the price of the assistant director." ”
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Wenle hung up the phone, and while telling his wife to buy a plane ticket for himself, he called Han Sanping.
"Alas!" Sighing heavily, he said a little sadly: "Han Dong, I'm really sorry, there is a very urgent project in Hollywood, and I won't go to the film party." ”
“……”
On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping was silent for a while and cut off the call directly.
You don't have to guess to know that these two guys must have been contacted in advance!
~
The film viewing party was held quite smoothly, after all, there are two platforms of China Film and Huayi, and few people will not give them face.
Chen Fei watched the media reports, and many directors of literary and artistic feature films in the system were present at the scene, and those of the older generation who could still move were all present.
Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Feng Xiaogang...... These three are the most famous directors of the film viewing club.
As for Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they did not go.
It's already very close to the start of the Olympic Games, and Lao Mouzi has been busy with his feet not touching the ground recently, how can he have time to participate in this kind of activity?
And Lao Chen was even more smashing his "Mei Lanfang", and he didn't go to the scene.
Sohu.com excerpted a passage from Lu Chuan's speech and used it as the title of the report.
[This is a movie that fights for national scars...]
"You're paralyzed!"
Chen Fei rolled his eyes, full of disdain.
Jiang Wen was also holding his mobile phone and watching, but his face was a little complicated.
"Good multimedia are saying that we don't fit in, have contradictions with Lu Chuan, don't support the domestic film industry, and don't get along with each other for a long time, it is estimated that the guy specially arranged it......"
"Ignore him, he's just a piece of garbage."
For media reports, Chen Fei was not affected in the slightest.
At any time, directors who can make money are more popular than directors who can only win awards!
No matter how deep his relationship network in the circle is, no matter how strong the family relationship is, it can't affect the Film Bureau.
The above has just issued a policy to accelerate the development of the film industry, and he has a fart advantage as a literary film director?
The media just watched the excitement, and in a few days, this news was replaced by others!
~
In order to call Chen Fei to make a cameo appearance in Super 4, Romulo Otero did not hesitate to come to invite him in person.
"Fei, I'm waiting for you now, 70% of the plot is over, and almost only the part about you remains."
Chen Fei rubbed the tip of his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Give me another week, this movie will be finished soon, and I will definitely be there as soon as possible." ”
"Ok, then I'll wait for you?"
"Ok, absolutely!"
If this were other actors, Universal Pictures would have deleted the scene a long time ago.
But Chen Fei is different, as long as he participates, he can bring at least 50 million US dollars in box office revenue, which is far beyond his salary.
If the agreement hadn't been signed in advance, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to invite this "big guy"!
Now, even if it takes a while longer, Universal Pictures is very willing.
As soon as Romulo Otero left, another "visitor" suddenly came to the company that Chen Fei did not expect.
"Yo? Isn't this Princess Cherry? ”
Seeing Jing Tian timidly walking in under the leadership of the front desk, Chen Fei suddenly began to joke.
"Director Chen, good."
Jing Tian said hello very respectfully, and by the way, handed Chen Fei a rather exquisite packaging bag in his hand.
"What is this?"
Chen Fei took it with some curiosity.
"Cherry."
"Hahaha, can you, the spokesperson of cherries, eat all-you-can-eat for free?"
Hundreds of thousands of dollars bought a spokesperson, Chen Fei just thought about it, and sighed a little at Lu Zheng's operation.
Jing Tian nodded very seriously: "Yes, they said that you can eat it for free, and you can take as much as you want." ”
"Hey? Really? ”
This girl is very simple, and she speaks stupidly.
led her to visit the animation shooting process, and Chen Feishun asked: "What about Mr. Lu?" Didn't want to come with you? ”
Jing Tian shook his head: "Uncle Lu went to help me contact the crew, he wanted me to also participate in the filming of Hollywood movies." ”
Nortel has issued a new student admission notice, and Jing Tian is on the list.
It stands to reason that when school is about to start, she should go to school first.
But now, she seems to be ready to copy Liu Yifei's path!
Comparatively speaking, the resources of this family are indeed much better than Liu Yifei, and the starting point for entering the industry is naturally much higher.
"So you've decided? Directly cultivating acting skills with drama? Instead of going to class to study? ”
"Hmm."
Jing Tian didn't mean to hide it, and nodded naturally.
"It's a pity." Chen Fei pointed out: "Xiaohong can be relied on, but if you want to become popular, you still need solid acting skills." ”
"I know that I will learn and improve while filming."
Good opportunities are too rare, Lu Zheng doesn't dare to wait, and Jing Tian is not willing to wait, because they don't have much time to precipitate and learn.
The actress's flowering period is not long, Jing Tian is not a child star debut, she can only choose to take a shortcut.
It just so happens that Lu Zheng is still a ...... who can spend money
~
The little girl came to visit the class, and Chen Fei naturally couldn't leave people aside.
After a day's shooting, he called Bruce, Natasha, and Andrew, and went to dinner with them, and went to see the latest "Transformers" by the way.
DreamWorks and Paramount have teamed up to create this sci-fi masterpiece that took a year and a half!
Even if there were movies such as "Twilight", "Ratatouille", and "Die Hard 4" in the front, when "Transformers" appeared, the first three chose to surrender obediently.
The box office in the first seven days was 150 million US dollars!
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, plus Megan Fox's small waist...
It's absolutely stunning!
Bruce drooled on the side, looking hopeful: "Fei, promise me, you must find a chance to cooperate with Megan Fox." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I just like her so much, can you do a bed scene with her? I'm willing to be your videographer, I know your fighting power, and I promise to last two hours without going to the bathroom. ”
“???”
Chen Fei looked puzzled? When did this guy get into that bad habit of NTR?
Jing Tian listened to it with a red face, but his eyes couldn't help but sweep to his side.
Two hours?
Really?
Even Natasha had a surprised expression, she was much more straightforward than Jing Tian, and she came over and began to inquire about the news.
Chen Fei rolled his eyes and ignored them.
There are also underage girls beside her, and these two color embryos don't know how to restrain them, how can they ask a man face-to-face how long they can last?
