On December 4, Chen Fei returned to the mainland.

After a month-long release period, "Lust and Caution" ended successfully, and finally received a box office of 138 million US dollars.

The 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards announced the shortlist last month, and a total of 38 films were shortlisted, but "Lust and Caution" received more than ten nominations.

You don't have to guess to know that the biggest winner of this year's Golden Horse Awards will inevitably be Li Press.

The organizers of the Golden Horse also sent an invitation to Chen Fei before, hoping that he could send "Thief Family" to participate in the selection, but Chen Fei refused.

For that reason, the Cannes Film Festival is enough, and he is not interested in carrying a sedan chair for others.

However, Ning Hao took "Thai Embarrassment" to participate in the selection, and also won 6 nominations, including Chen Fei's best screenwriter.

But he wasn't ready to go, because the best screenplay would also be Lee's.

Back at the company, Chen Fei was just about to ask Su Guohai how the premiere of "My Brother is Shunyo" was, when he saw Huang Bozheng leading a woman out of the legal department.

The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After getting closer, Chen Fei found out that this woman was actually "slightly drunk sister" Yan Ni.

"Yo? Is Mr. Chen back? ”

Huang Bo said hello with a smile.

"Well, just arrived." Chen Fei replied and looked at the two curiously: "...... are you?"

"The casting of "Bullfighting" is over, Sister Yan Ni will play the role of "Jiu'er" in the film, and I will bring her to the company to sign a contract. ”

Chen Fei was suddenly happy: "Wait? Why do you call Sister Yan Ni, are you younger than Yan Ni? ”

"Look at what you said." Huang Bo looked depressed: "She is 36, I am 33, it must be my sister, is it possible that I can still call him sister?" ”

"Hey, I really didn't see it."

Although she is nearly 40 years old, Yan Ni's skin condition is much better than Huang Bo's, and she is still dressed quite fashionably, looking like a royal sister in her 30s.

Huang Bo's head was full of black lines, and Yan Ni covered his mouth and giggled.

"Let's go, let's not talk to you, remember to come when the movie starts when the movie starts!"

While speaking, Huang Bo dragged Yan Ni and walked quickly to the door of the company.

"Goodbye, Director Chen."

This sister spoke slowly and logically, and the slight drunkenness was very obvious, if it wasn't for the smell of alcohol from her, Chen Fei was a little suspicious that she had drunk it before she came?

…

Su Guohai always looked very busy, and when he saw him, there was a thick bundle of documents on the table.

"Lao Su, have the ratings of "Shunyo" come out? Did Mango Desk send you a report? ”

"Mr. Chen?"

Su Guohai was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react.

Carefully calculated, he hadn't seen Chen Fei for nearly three months.

After slowing down for a while, he rummaged through the pile of documents in front of him, and after a while, he handed Chen Fei a form.

"It's not bad, it can be said to be a new high, with ratings of 5.407% on the day of the premiere, and an average rating of 6.534% for the first five episodes, second only to "Struggle" in the middle of the year and "New Shanghai Beach" at the beginning of the year."

The struggle is really ruthless, with a single episode rating of 11%, which is outstanding!

Chen Fei opened Douban and briefly checked the professional evaluations of major media and film critics.

"My Brother is Shunyo" is a leader in anti-Japanese dramas because of its excellent quality and easy-to-understand dialogue, it is not an anti-Japanese drama in the general sense, but a concept of anti-Japanese drama shooting."

"There are many light-hearted and humorous lines in the play, which is the biggest difference between this show and other war-themed TV series, however, the joy and sadness become more and more sad, and after bringing joy to people, it tells a tragic story, which makes people feel more poignant and shocking."

"These lines, engraved with the moving spirit of the characters, will leave the audience with longer memories like a wonderful plot."

"This drama revolves around the story of the sniper Shunyo, which is the first of its kind on the Chinese screen, and what is even more groundbreaking is that Shunyo breaks the dull sniper image of previous film and television dramas and creates a cheerful and fresh young sharpshooter."

"This drama has stepped out of the impetuous creative trend of being external and larger than new, and pursues a sincere inner spirit, which is a heroic work that adheres to the lofty bottom line......"

Judging from these professional evaluations and the audience's feedback, this drama is already destined to be a big success!

Chen Fei's name of "the golden hand of the script" was once again taken out by the media and hyped up.

"Mr. Chen, there is something you have to pay attention to."

Su Guohai's voice pulled Chen Fei's attention back from the comments of netizens.

"What's the matter?"

"About Wang Baoqiang..."

"Baoqiang? What happened to him? ”

Su Guohai frowned slightly: "Recently, many companies have been in frequent contact with him, among which Huayi and Orange Sky are the most attentive, and they even use... No beauty tricks! ”

Oh?

Chen Fei was immediately happy: "Let's talk about it, what kind of beauty method?" ”

"This is an operation made by Orange Sky......"

As Su Guohai narrated, Chen Fei suddenly had a new understanding of Wu Kebo's methods.

The rise of Wang Baoqiang can be described by the words "Goddess Luck" for those group performers in Hengdian.

From a small supporting role in "Ambush on All Sides", to "Silly Root" in "No Thieves in the World", "People in Embarrassment", "Soldier Assault", "Thai Embarrassment", "Shunyu", ......

Along the way, he has cooperated with Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Chen Fei, and other top domestic commercial film directors.

Especially since joining Feiyue Film and Television, he has risen all the way and directly entered the category of first-line actors in the circle.

It is no exaggeration to say that in today's box office list of mainland actors, Wang Baoqiang is at least in the top three!

But it is precisely because of the popularity and audience love that he has been favored by many brokerage companies in the circle.

A lot of people want to dig him up.

Huayi and Orange Sky even promised that as long as he was willing to leave Feiyue Film and Television, they were even willing to pay high liquidated damages for him!

Among them, Orange Sky was the most attentive, not only promised a high signing fee, but even used a beauty trick to deliberately arrange for one of its actresses to meet Wang Baoqiang in the show, and approached him from the position of an admirer......

These are all the news that Su Guohai investigated, and he has not told Wang Baoqiang at present.

"Okay, I know, you don't have to pay attention to it, just wait for the events to develop."

Chen Fei waved his hand, not caring at all.

If Wang Baoqiang chooses to leave Feiyue Film and Television because of these temptations, then he will definitely regret it.

Because as long as Chen Fei is willing, he can launch many actors similar to Wang Baoqiang in a very short period of time.

And if Wang Baoqiang wants to leave wholeheartedly, he will not be able to stop him, after all, both Orange Sky and Huayi have promised to compensate him for liquidated damages.

This happened to be an opportunity to test him, and Chen Fei was ready to see how he would ultimately make his choice.

Leaving Feiyue Film and Television? Or do you choose to accept temptation?

This choice will determine his subsequent resource allocation!

"Orange sky? Vukpo? Beauty tricks? ”

Chen Fei quickly focused his attention on Wu Kebo, this guy is quite interesting, doesn't he know that touching the tiger's beard is very risky?

…

Wang Jiawei has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Since the last time he mocked Chen Fei in front of the media for cutting off "Ip Man", the group of paparazzi and reporters in Hong Kong have set their eyes on him.

When he walked on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards, a group of reporters finally found an opportunity to stop him.

"Director Wang? Ip Man's descendants generously praised the excellent results of "Ip Man 1" and "Ip Man 2" on the show, and recognized Director Chen Fei's adaptation of Ip Man's deeds, and also showed that your script of "The Grandmaster" has not been inspected and recognized by the descendants of the Ye family, how do you feel about this matter? ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiawei's face suddenly darkened.

Isn't it just that he didn't spend a high salary to invite the descendants of the Ye family to be film consultants?

Is it necessary to do this?

The speech of the descendants of the Ye family on the talk show made him not a person inside and out, he was still able to stand firm morally, but now he was countered by Chen Fei!

"There may be a misunderstanding in this matter, and I will explain it to you later."

After a few simple vague sentences, Wang Jiawei left the red carpet as if he had escaped.

The Golden Horse Awards quickly came out with results, and as expected, Li won the whole process and won seven awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor with "Lust and Caution".

Major entertainment newspapers soon reported some inside information about the Golden Horse Awards.

Chen Fei deliberately paid attention to it.

The host Wu Junru made a lot of limelight, not only asked Li Press to pose cute pose at the award ceremony, but also tore up the envelope containing the list of winners in public, so Li Press could only pick up the shredded pieces of paper from the ground one by one, and read the name of "Liang Chaowei" together.

On the mainland side, Fan Bingbin won the "Best Supporting Actress" award for "A Ghost in My Heart".

Uncle Benshan temporarily canceled his trip to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony because he had to take care of his critically ill father, and issued a public letter to apologize.

"It's really going to be a lot of problems..."

Chen Fei appeared in the office building of China Film with the invitation to the premiere of "Vote for Fame" in his hand.

When I saw Han Sanping, this person was holding a bundle of documents where to sign and seal, and he was very busy.

"Han Dong? What are you doing here? ”

Han Sanping didn't raise his head, and his voice buzzed: "It's almost the end of the year, and there is still a batch of money in the account, so I have to spend it quickly." ”

As he spoke, the tip of his pen suddenly paused, and he raised his head to look at Chen Fei.

"By the way? Do you have any projects over there that you can participate in, it just so happens that I still have a sum of money here that I can't spend. ”

State-owned enterprises, as much as the funds are issued, they have to spend as much as they want, but they can't save them in their hands.

"Yes! It's a lot. Chen Fei smiled: "But... Do you have enough money in your account, I'm a project of tens of millions of dollars. ”

Marvel Studios' films can only cooperate with other Hollywood companies because of copyright reasons.

However, the projects of Walton Pictures can be distributed to China, one is for the convenience of publicity, the second is for the convenience of imports, and the third is for the increase in the number of films.

Working with several cinemas is definitely a win-win situation!

Han Sanping casually threw the pen on the table: "You can rest assured, as long as it is a foreign investment, even if the money in the account is not enough, I can continue to apply, and it can definitely be approved." ”

What is invested is RMB, and what is earned back is foreign exchange, which is absolutely supported by trading.

Otherwise, the big boss in the bureau would not have deliberately pointed out Chen Fei at the last meeting, praised him fiercely, and asked him to say what he needed help with.

"Okay, then I'll contact Volton Pictures, which has recently launched several projects and is looking for investors to share the pressure, and China Film can just participate."

"Is there only a middle shadow?"

"Hey? Han Dong, have you forgotten what I said before? We have to work together for a win-win situation. ”

"Well, it seems that it can only be cheaper for Lao Ren and Wanda."

"And Golden Harvest."

Chen Fei added emphatically that Pan Asia Cinema Line has been short of money recently, and it has to get more money from other places.

"So many investors? Is the project huge? ”

"I'll give you a thorough explanation, just Walton Pictures has a market of almost 800 million US dollars, do you think it's big?"

"Shhh Han Sanping gasped: "Good guy, your stall is really big enough, what about Marvel Studios?" ”

"Over there... Can't say for the time being. ”

Chen Fei changed his words and quickly brought the topic to the other side: "The promotion of "Mulan" has to continue to push up, this movie is very important, and there are documents to apply for the Oscar selection, you have a hard relationship, can you help with it?" ”

"That's fine, it's been prepared for you a long time ago."

Han Sanping opened the drawer and took out a form from inside.

"You take this form back and fill it out, mail it to the bureau, I've already said hello over there."

"Okay! Thanks a lot! ”

After achieving his goal, Chen Fei directly said goodbye and turned back to the company.

However, he had just returned to fill out the form when there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Enter!"

With a "creak", the office door was pushed open, Liu Yifei looked at it with a probe, and walked in with a smile after making sure that there was no one.

"Why? Looking like a thief? Chen Fei looked at her curiously.

"Why, I'm not afraid to disturb you? It would be embarrassing if there were other actresses. ”

Chen Fei rolled his eyes: "I heard that Shangying arranged a meeting for you?" The result? Do you have a lot of fans who go? ”

"Many! Special, special, so much! ”

Liu Yifei shook her shoulder-length short hair, and made another sword-waving gesture, "I also have a lot of martial arts enthusiasts, and many of them are very good at kung fu." ”

"Okay, you go back and prepare first, and fly with me to Mango Terrace tomorrow night to participate in the Happy Base Camp."

"Okay." Liu Yifei nodded, thought about it and said, "Will you go to the premiere of "Vote for Fame" tomorrow?" ”

"Well, go."

"How about we walk the red carpet together?"

"Okay."

"Yay! I'm going to get the dress ready! ”

Han Sanping still attaches great importance to Chen Kexin's "Vote for Fame", and the premiere invitation letter was sent throughout the film and television industry.

When Chen Fei came to the venue with Liu Yifei the next morning, what he saw was a bright state of stars!

There are many people on Hong Kong Island, Liu Dehao, Li Lianlian, and Jin Chengwu are being interviewed, and the screams of fans outside the red carpet have been endless.

But when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet, the object of screaming changed instantly!

"Mulan! Mulan! Mulan! ”

The shouts are uniform, and those who don't know think that today is the premiere of "Mulan".

Chen Kexin's face was slightly embarrassed, and she suddenly regretted that she invited Chen Fei and Liu Yifei over today, as the biggest competitor of the Chinese New Year, the popularity of "Mulan" is too high.

"Coming?"

"Hmm."

After a brief conversation with Han Sanping, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei entered the venue together.

Although there is no staff to arrange the position, everyone is very clear about their positioning, whether to sit in the front row or sit in the back row, everyone has a scale in their hearts.

A group of people led by Ning Hao to the script of "Painted Skin" also came, and they entered in advance.

Chen Fei sat next to him, but before he could speak, he saw Huang Xiaoming and a girl secretly holding hands, looking like you and me.

"Hey? Why is love all talked about here? ”

"Director Chen?"

Huang Xiaoming turned his head suddenly, and when he saw that it was Chen Fei, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me?"

The girl was quite bold, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Director Chen, I'm Concubine Li." ”

Huang Xiaoming added next to him: "She is now my girlfriend, we met when we were filming "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and the concubine played my wife in the play. ”

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered a gossip that Zhou Xun had told him before.

After being explicitly rejected by Zhao Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming talked about a girlfriend again, but the woman seemed to be because of "Nanjing! Nanking! got together with Lu Chuan's idiot, and then dumped Huang Xiaoming.

This one may have figured it out, and turned his head to talk about another one!

I have to say, your circle is really messy!

After Han Sanping and Chen Kexin spoke on stage respectively, the premiere began.

The quality of the movie is indeed quite high, although Chen Kexin is quite a dog and always wants to stuff the mainland's money into his pocket, but the level of filmmaking is still good.

Li Lianlian's acting skills in this movie are much stronger than his previous films, and Liu Dehao and Jin Chengwu can also get along, and overall it is quite good.

The only thing that made Chen Fei feel regretful was that after the movie ended, Li Lian went to Hollywood and filmed a "Mummy 3" that touched Zulong.

It was from where his state took a sharp turn for the worse!

…

After the premiere, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei flew to Mango Channel together that night to prepare to record a new episode of Happy Camp.

On the morning of the 13th, China Film announced the box office of the first day of "Casting a Name".

21 million RMB!

got this number, and for a while, the major media in the circle began to praise it.

There is no doubt that the film is stable when it breaks 200 million!

However, just when the industry was cheering, "Mulan" also officially started the last wave of publicity sprint, and the movie promotional posters shot by Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Chen Daoming, and Jiao Enjun officially appeared in the publicity columns of major theaters.

A teaser also appeared at the same time!

Mulan cut her hair and pierced her armor and went on the expedition on behalf of her father......

And at the end of the trailer, the picture of the decisive battle between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Rouran army flashed.

Although it was only a few seconds, a solemn, majestic, and magnificent momentum erupted.

Black-armored spears, soldiers, and overwhelming......

"Kill!"

At the end of the trailer, an angry roar erupts from Mulan's mouth, and the soldiers behind her echo in unison, like a tsunami from a mountain.

A reporter got a sentence from Chen Fei's mouth.

"The war scene is even more majestic than the Qin army in "Hero"!"

For a while, fans were looking forward to it even more.

Under the leadership of Pan Asia Cinemas, several cinemas such as China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, and Bona have launched movie ticket pre-sale activities at the same time.

This includes several countries such as Hong Kong, Macau, Bay Island, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Since Chen Fei and Huo Qigang jointly acquired Golden Harvest, this is the first time that Pan Asia Cinemas has used all its acquired cinemas in a real sense!

On December 22nd, all theaters will increase the number of films scheduled for "Mulan" to the highest level within the "specified range"!

This is the effect of "win-win cooperation".
