[Congratulations to Director Chen, the first animated feature film, which won the Golden Globe Award for Film and Television!] 】

In this information age, the news of Hollywood is no secret to China, and as soon as Chen Fei won the award, the news immediately spread back to China.

"? So bite? ”

"Good guy, when it comes to transformation, except for Director Chen, I am not convinced."

"Haha, have you read that report some time ago? Director Chen's film in South Korea even promoted the improvement of the law of the South Korean Congress. ”

"I've read this news too,, it's awesome!"

"I'm already looking forward to the Oscars now, "Robot Wall-E" and "Mulan" have participated in the selection, if you win another Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Director Chen will become a god!"

"Poof... Nortel is very interesting, I just passed by there today, and I hung a banner for Director Chen again. ”

“…”

The domestic media and netizens were in an uproar, and seeing that the box office continued to rise, the theater chain couldn't close their mouths.

It has to be a Hollywood blockbuster, and the money earned is simply refreshing!

"Director Chen, shoot more blockbusters, Wanda has always been your most solid backing."

"What about IMAX3D?"

"I'll definitely do it for you!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye."

Although "Inception" has not yet started filming, Chen Fei has already begun to prepare for future releases.

～

When Vali won the award, the next day, the major theaters on the Hollywood side quickly adjusted the number of films.

"Golden Chipmouse" produced by Twenty World Fox was not very favored by the theater side, and now in order to make way for Vali, the number of films has been suppressed!

But if there is the most pressure right now, it is Pixar Animation Film Studios.

After John Lasseter attended the premiere of "Wall-E the Robot", he vaguely felt that he might lose the Golden Globe Award selection.

Sure enough, he really guessed it!

An emergency meeting began.

Disney's current CEO, Bob Eagle, came to the conference room in person to hear his thoughts.

"Ratatouille didn't win the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature, which we didn't expect, but we don't need to be discouraged, the quality of "Flying House" is not worse than it, and we strive to make this animated film appear in major theaters in 08 to prove our strength!"

Bob Eagle spoke slowly: "I need a specific time. ”

Disney will launch two animated films, "Lightning Dog" and "The Princess and the Frog," next year, but according to people familiar with the matter, filming has already begun on Walton Pictures' latest animated film.

If the new movie can still maintain the standard of Wall-E, Disney may be difficult to surpass!

So, the burden still has to be on the side of Pixar Animation Studios.

John Lasseter thought for a moment and replied, "Animation post-production is difficult, and it will be the end of the year at the earliest. ”

"Okay, I hope you can do what you say."

Temporary success or failure is not terrible, after all, Disney has a big business, and it is good to win it back next time.

But I'm afraid that the next time I will still fail miserably, then it will be a big trouble!

Also as worried as Pixar is Katzenberg, the president of DreamWorks Animation, who has left DreamWorks and completed the listing.

He is working with Spielberg, who just won the Golden Globe Award for Lifetime Achievement, and some senior executives to study this year's strategic plan.

Animated films account for a large portion of DreamWorks' turnover at the box office, so they had to make sure that every animated film was produced every year and that every film would make a big box office.

A senior executive took the lead in saying: "The news has been confirmed, Walton Pictures will launch a movie called "Kung Fu Panda" this year, combining the two elements of "Chinese Kung Fu" and "Panda National Treasure". ”

As a professional animation planner, Katzenberg instantly felt a sense of crisis.

"Chinese Kung Fu" has a high reputation in North America, and the "Panda National Treasure" is not to mention, a favorite of children.

He faintly had a bad feeling, I am afraid that this new movie launched by Walton Pictures will lead the trend again.

"How was the post-production of Madagascar 2? Even if it's until the end of the year, this year the film has to be made. ”

In Hollywood, as long as the first film can be successful, it is destined that there will be a sequel.

This is even more true for animated films!

And "Madagascar" is one of the big IPs of DreamWorks, and it also has a perfect sequel plan, which belongs to the existence that can stabilize the morale of the military.

"Post-production is underway and is expected to be done around September."

"Good! If there is not enough manpower, it is possible to continue to increase the number of people, and it is important to determine this year's output. ”

"But "Monsters vs. Aliens" is also in preparation, and more people may be needed, and the company's existing ones are simply not enough."

"Keep hiring! Or go to Disney and dig for a high price! ”

"Okay."

The senior executive in charge of personnel nodded, and a feud between his CEO and Disney popped up in his mind.

I'm afraid I'll have to fight Disney for the rest of my life...

………………

Just two days after the Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television ended, the shortlist of the Annie Awards was announced.

Chen Fei, who was busy filming "Kung Fu Panda", received a newspaper from Bruce with a list of all the animated films shortlisted for the 35th Annie Awards.

The Annie Award is an animation award and one of the highest honors in the field of animation worldwide, organized by ASIFA-Hollywood, a member of the Los Angeles, California, United States branch of the International Animated Film Association since 1972.

The award was originally designed to reward lifetime achievement in the fields of animation director, production, production, design, screenwriting, voice acting, sound effects and soundtrack.

Later, the Annie Awards began to evaluate animation as a whole, and established awards for best animation, as well as awards in various animation fields.

The Annie Awards will be held on February 8, half a month before the Oscars.

"Best Animated Film, Best Animated Film Director, Best Animated Film Screenwriter, Best Animated Film Art Direction, Best Animation Effects......"

After counting them carefully, Chen Fei was surprised to find that "Robot Wall-E" had won a full 13 nominations!

In contrast, "Food Story", distributed by Disney and produced by Pixar Animation Film Studios, also received 13 nominations.

This was followed by Sony's "Surfing Penguin," but the film received only 10 nominations.

Before Chen Fei could react, Natasha also rushed to the animation studio and shouted excitedly: "Fei, we can go to war with Disney!" ”

Chen Fei glanced at the newspaper in her hand and smiled slightly: "From now on, we are going to punch Disney, step on Pixar, and elbow DreamWorks." ”

"Do you have faith?" Natasha asked, expectantly.

Looking back at the modeling of the panda "Bao", Chen Fei shrugged: "Why don't you have confidence?" ”

…

Old man Woody Allen is quite fast, and the filming of "Twilight 2: New Moon" is coming to an end.

Chen Fei decided to continue to put this movie on the summer vacation, when the high school students just had a vacation, and they could fool the pocket money in the pockets of American high school students.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is still such a loss of evil~

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" is still in preparation, and Natasha deliberately built a greenhouse in the suburbs and built all the equipment and scenes needed there.

And Marvel doesn't need Chen Feiguan over there, Kevin Feige will arrange everything.

However, "Game of Thrones" requires him to do it himself, and cooperate with Industrial Light & Magic to continue to make fine cuts, which also causes him to have to work overtime every night...

Wen Ziren finally finished filming Super 4, and he was going to rest for a while, and then come to a horror movie to find a feeling.

Overall, everything is moving in an orderly manner.

Lionsgate and New Line are still contacting him from time to time, wanting to continue to cooperate with him.

It's a pity that Chen Fei's own "surplus food" is not much, and there is really no suitable script to share with them, so he can only refuse again and again.

On the contrary, the preparation of "Inception" is a little more complicated.

In order to make a 3D version, Chen Fei could only squeeze out more time and start revising the script.

The original script is actually quite good, and it belongs to the standard commercial script creation template.

The first is to start doing a small task, through a layer of dreams to lead to the basic setting of Inception, and then the mission fails, and is forced to work for him by the Great Demon King, and begins to find people around the world to form a team, and finally fight the boss.

The team members came one after another, clashing with each other, trying to run in, and understanding each other.

In the end, after the team completes the run-in, the group officially starts and is a success!

This is actually a standard Hollywood commercial film routine, and it is similar to the script theory of the Avengers.

But routines are routines, and the core of the story is the key to supporting the routine, and the concept of "Inception" just supports the core of the story.

At the same time, in addition to revising the script and the presentation of 3D effects, he is also planning to revise the arrangement of the actors.

For example, the heroine "Eriadeni", this role must not use the transgender actress, he is ready to find a more suitable one.

In addition to this, there is the energy tycoon "Saito".

He doesn't want an actor in a small day, he wants to be replaced by a Chinese!

"Which actor in the mainland can take this role? You have to be able to catch Leonardo's acting skills..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Fei drew a "×" on the word "Saito", and then wrote the word "Zhuang Zhou".

Inception... Zhuang Zhou Mengdie...

It was just perfect!

Foreigners may not understand "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie", but I believe that those domestic fans will inevitably be eager to watch it!

The script of "Inception" has been given to Xiao Lizi, this guy said that he wanted to cooperate when he met every day, and now he is still very excited to see that Chen Fei really sent him an invitation.

This is also the reason why he went to China to attend the premiere of "Mulan" before.

Although it has not yet been confirmed whether he will appear or not, it should be no problem.

In addition to the change of actors, there was also a change in the filming location.

In response to the call of the Film Bureau, Chen Fei decided to put some scenes about energy tycoons in the mainland, and the main choice was the magic capital, which is more international, and the shooting effect should be good.

Script, actors, filming locations, pre-preparations......

With the cooperation of many parties, everything is also going on in an orderly manner.

…

The news that "Robot Wall-E" was nominated for 13 Annie Awards was first reported by Sina.com.

Fans in the mainland were a little confused when they first watched it, after all, there was no image of this "Annie Award", and no domestic film could participate in the selection.

Later, after some insiders popularized science, fans suddenly realized!

"Good guys, this is the battlefield of all the animated films in the world!"

"Obediently, I suddenly have a new understanding of Director Chen's level, 13 nominations? How good does this movie have to be? ”

"Is there a broadcast? Can I see it on my computer? ”

"Save the country!"

""Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" have all been blocked, it's really speechless, none of our Guoman can be on the big screen?"

Some fans are arguing hotly, but before the scope can be completely expanded, the shortlist of the 80th Academy Awards was suddenly announced!

Many people are not very familiar with the dense foreigner names, and only Depp, who plays the role of "Pirate Captain", is more familiar to them, and everyone else looks very unfamiliar.

Therefore, after seeing the list, most people will invariably focus on the "best foreign language film".

Austria, Poland, Kazakhstan, Russia, China!!

"Damn, "Mulan" has been selected as the best foreign language film."

In the crew of "Painted Skin", Huang Xiaoming and Jiao Enjun were shouting, and they were not at all as stable as they were on weekdays.

There's no way, who let them both participate in this movie, and Jiao Enjun has a lot of roles in the crew.

"Really?"

Zhou Xun and others came over one after another, and even Ning Hao, who was organizing the manpower set, was alarmed.

Everyone gathered around and stared at the Oscar shortlist without blinking.

When I saw that "Mulan" was indeed in the shortlist for the best foreign language film, for a while, everyone was so excited that they couldn't help themselves!

Ning Hao didn't hesitate to take out his mobile phone and call Chen Fei, but what was displayed was "On a call." ”

"The invitation to the premiere of "Yangtze River No. 7" has been sent to you in the mailbox, remember to take the time to come back to participate, you kid is really a cow, you are really shortlisted for the Oscar, are you confident of winning the award?"

While listening to Han Sanping's voice on the phone, Chen Fei looked at the newspaper in his hand.

Finalist?

I really didn't expect it!

"It's not easy to say, if you want to win an award at the Oscars, you usually need to invest a lot of resources, at least it's quite difficult to win over the judges."

The end of the year and the beginning of the year are usually the "drinking party" time for the Oscars, and in addition to the high quality of the film, it is also important to win enough judges to vote.

Chen Fei settled in this area to Bruce, this guy is a good hand at communication!

"If you need help, just say it, China Film will definitely support it."

"Haha, okay, thank you Han Dong."

After chatting a few more words, Chen Fei hung up the phone and pressed the shutdown button.

He didn't have time to deal with too many "congratulations" calls, and the production of Kung Fu Panda was complicated and he had to race against time.

In fact, in addition to "Mulan", which was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, "Wall-E" was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

But no one was shocked by the news.

won the Golden Globe Award for Film and Television, and also won 13 nominations for the Annie Award, it would be strange if such a movie was not shortlisted for the Oscars!

The only thing everyone is curious about now is, can "Mulan" win the best foreign language film?

A group of film and television production company bosses, as well as actors from major brokerage companies, are waiting for Chen Fei to return, and they are ready to explore the wind at the premiere of "Yangtze River No. 7".

If it is certain that he can win the award, Chen Fei's status in the mainland film market is unmatched!

Zhang Yimou, Li Press... These people have to go a little bit back!

～

The time soon came to January 22nd, and after a month-long release period, "Mulan" finally ushered in the moment of painting.

There are many people who are waiting for China Film to announce the box office data of this movie.

They all want to know, is "Mulan" really as Chen Fei said, can the box office exceed 600 million?

There were a lot of people sitting in Wang Zhonglei's office.

The two brothers of the Wang family, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Wenfu and Li Bingbin sisters.

At present, these people should be the most implicated in Huayi's interest community, and they are also the helmsmen of Huayi's big ship that can continue to move forward!

Several people's topics at this time were still focused on Chen Fei.

Wang Zhongjun said with envy: "This kid is really good, according to statistics, in the mainland film market in 07, he alone accounted for 68% of the total box office!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"All the money was made by his company." Li Bingbin meant something.

"There's no way, I can't envy it, this kid's screenwriter and director level is too high, and it's too much to describe it with the words "talented". ”

So far, if calculated according to the box office of the movie, Chen Fei is already the first person among the directors of commercial films!

In second place is Ning Hao, third is Zhang Yimou, fourth is Feng Xiaogang, and fifth is Chen Kaige.

And to get to where he is now, it only took him "five years"!

It's inhuman!

"Crunch!"

Everyone was amazed, and the offices were suddenly opened, and Wang Zhonglei's secretary walked in.

"Wang Dong, the box office results of "Mulan" are out."

"How much? Has it broken 600 million? A group of people stared straight at him.

The secretary nodded slowly, "The mainland is 637 million yuan, and the total overseas box office is currently 213 million US dollars." ”

"Hiss!!"

This time the gasp was much louder than just now.

$213 million.

Converted into RMB, it is 1.704 billion, plus 637 million, the total has reached 2.341 billion!

The film investment is 70 million US dollars, that is, 560 million yuan!

Counting the cinema chain, movie copyrights, DVDs, image copyrights...

Wang Zhongjun swallowed, his face full of disbelief, "The income of this movie must be at least 100 billion yuan!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Bingbin's face showed irrepressible shock!

In the face of such gains, Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" is obviously a younger brother!

So... Can the "King of Kung Fu" in which he participated get such results?

A group of people are still here for a long time, but at this time, major portals and entertainment media have begun to scramble to start reporting:

[The first 600 million box office club director in the mainland - Chen Fei! ] 】

[The front foot just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film qualification, and the back foot entered the 600 million box office club, which is worthy of being the "golden hand of the script". 】

[The first person in the domestic film and television industry! ] 】

[Counting Director Chen's excellent "achievements" at home and abroad this year......]

[07 The total box office data of the mainland film market is newly released, and Feiyue Film and Television Production Company alone accounts for 68% of the total box office of the year! ] Chen Dao Niu Pi! 】
