Many domestic film and television companies are still immersed in the news that the box office of "Mulan" broke 600 million, and they have not been able to relax for a long time.

But abroad, Hollywood's Big Six and many independent film companies were shocked by a data analysis of the North American box office market in 2007 by the "boxofficemoji" website!

The data shows that Walton Pictures, which acquired Marvel and launched several Class A productions one after another, has come to the forefront of major Hollywood film and television companies in terms of market share!

As soon as the news came out, the major producers in Hollywood were stunned!

Is this Nima kidding?

You must know that in addition to the Big Six in Hollywood, there are also several particularly powerful independent production companies at the bottom, such as Lionsgate, Weinstein, New Line, etc.

According to the data analysis, the achievements made by those independent production companies in 07 are not at all the same as those of Volton Pictures!

What's more, the ranking of Walton Pictures has come to the first place in North America!

Many people were chanting "Oh my god!" ”

This is no longer a wolf, this stepping horse is on the table to share the cake!

And when the Hollywood media saw this data, their first reaction was that the pattern of the six Hollywood majors was about to change again.

[Hollywood's "Big Six" film companies will be officially promoted to "Big Seven Film Companies!] 】

This report has been going viral in the United States recently!

～

"You tap, don't bite me."

In the villa, Chen Fei was sitting at the dining table looking at the report sent from the mailbox, allowing Natalie Dormer to concentrate on eating popsicles under the table.

This girl is indeed obedient, and after finishing from Game of Thrones, she went to Marvel Studios and got a role in "Captain America".

However, because the film had not been turned on yet, she had nothing to do, so she came to Walton Pictures.

Seeing that she was bored, Chen Fei directly used her as a tool.

During the day, he voiced a character in Kung Fu Panda, and at night, he bought a box of 20 sets and went back to the villa to discuss intimate topics between men and women.

Seeing that she was eating popsicles seriously, Chen Fei didn't bother her, and looked at the data report about "boxofficemoji" by himself.

The box office statistics are from 1.1 in 2007 and have been calculated to 12.31, which is exactly one year's worth of results.

Although "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a 06 movie, because it was released at the end of last year, most of the box office was generated in 07, so a large part of it is classified in the category of 07.

Then add "Iron Man" in the first half of 07, "Twilight" in the summer vacation, "The Incredible Hulk" in the year-end file, and "Robot Wall-E" in the Chinese New Year.

The five troikas walked side by side, dragging Walton Pictures forward quickly!

And the remaining low-budget horror films, as well as "Mulan" co-produced with Feiyue Film and Television, these together also occupy a large share.

The success of each film has brought a lot of profits to Walton Pictures.

It is precisely because of this that this independent film company, which was unknown last year, jumped directly this year and occupied half of the Hollywood box office market!

Chen Fei continued to look at other companies.

To his surprise, the second place turned out to be Paramount.

Relying on its DreamWorks, Paramount has produced "Shrek 3" and "Transformers", two 300 million-level movies, as well as two 100 million box office movies, which seem to be thriving overall.

But don't forget, these are the achievements of its subsidiary, DreamWorks!

On the other hand, the parent company Paramount itself is simply miserable, and the highest box office of the movies released by it is only a little more than 100 million US dollars, which is not even as high as Lionsgate.

The third place is Warner Bros., holding three movies: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "I Am a Legend", and "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", firmly occupying the third position on the list.

Will Smith lives up to the title of "box office myth" and once again proves his box office appeal.

And the fourth place is Sony Columbia, a "Spider-Man 3" made it a lot of money!

The only pity is that the cost of 260 million is too high, and the actor seems to be still asking for an increase in salary, and Sony is about to lose it.

Seeing this, Chen Fei suddenly remembered an incident that Kevin Feige had said to him some time ago.

Sony seems to want to end the development of the Spider-Man series, seek another direction, and even invite Marvel to brainstorm together.

"Haha, I finally can't bear it."

Chen Fei's eyes flashed slightly, and plans began to appear in his mind.

If the IP of Spider-Man is done well, it will be a money printing machine, no worse than movies like Thor and Captain America.

In fifth place came Disney, whose parent company released Pirates of the Caribbean III: The End of the World, and its subsidiary Pixar produced a Ratatouille.

Overall, Disney seems to have been in decline in recent years.

The series of Pirates of the Caribbean is also about to be eaten, and I am afraid that I will have to find other IPs in the future.

However, Pixar is quite fierce, and has recently announced many film plans, which has greatly stabilized Disney's value in the capital market.

The sixth place is Universal Pictures, which is dominated by three movies: "Spy", "My Grand Gay Wedding", and "One Night Belly".

The only pity is that "Fake Gods II" lost too hard, which once lowered the box office share of Universal Pictures.

And what's even more fatal is that Universal Pictures is sorely lacking in big IP series.

They're trying to make the Fast & Furious franchise a franchise that makes it the "backbone" of their company.

However... There is still a long way to go!

As for the last twentieth Century Fox, it is even worse, only one "The Simpsons" and "Die Hard" barely exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, and the rest of "Fantastic Four 2" was miserable.

The series was even terminated outright, with Fox making it clear that the Fantastic Four series would no longer be released in the future.

However, as soon as this statement was released, Kevin Feige rushed forward and wanted to redeem the movie rights of the Fantastic Four.

The two sides are currently in contact, and if nothing else, Fox should let it go.

Because for them, this copyright is destined to lose money in their hands, and it is better to sell it to Marvel again, and maybe they can recover some costs and make up for the losses caused by the second part.

Fox has now put all of his energy into Avatar.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

On the last page of the data, it is also specifically indicated that these seven companies directly took 80% of the market share in North America, while the remaining dozens of companies scratched up the pitiful 20%.

For a while, people who saw this data report were stunned.

Walton Pictures became the first???

Although it was shocking, it was relieved and reasonable.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Iron Man" have been criticized, and this "Robot Wall-E" at the end of the year is not to mention, it is simply a total kill!

～

At the turn of day and night, the news from the American side was once again posted on Sina.com.

The title is extremely eye-catching and shocking!

[Since Chen Fei became the chief content executive of Walton Pictures and Marvel Studios, it only took one year to successfully make the company the first in Hollywood! The six major Hollywood situations have been officially broken, and a new seventh has been born! 】

Seeing this title, countless fans chose to open it without hesitation and quickly spread the content.

Anyone who has a general understanding of the Hollywood film market knows that before Sony entered the market to acquire Columbia Pictures, the situation in Hollywood has always been evenly divided.

Later, Luen Mei was acquired by MGM, and then Sony acquired Columbia, and the first two were all taken under its command, which naturally formed the "New Big Six in Hollywood".

Then the Dream Factory, founded by Spielberg, sprung up and formed the New Seven again.

However, time has passed, and in 06 DreamWorks suddenly sold itself to Paramount again, and the Big Seven turned back to become the Big Six.

But last year, in '07, Walton Pictures began to shine with a "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Subsequently, Marvel was acquired by this little-known small company, and movies such as "Iron Man", "Twilight", "The Incredible Hulk", and "Wall-E the Robot" appeared frequently and reaped huge profits!

In last year's North American box office market share, Walton Pictures even won the first place!

The trend of the "New Seven" has reappeared!

If Chen Fei can stably produce excellent A-class productions in the future, this will mean that a big piece of Hollywood's cake will be taken away by him effortlessly!

In the forum, a group of people were talking enthusiastically.

"? Is Director Chen so bullish? ”

"Good guys, China just issued a notice yesterday, in the 07 mainland film market, Feiyue Film and Television alone accounted for 68% of the share, but I never expected that foreign countries are also the first!"

"Poof, can't this group of foreigners in Hollywood? None of the six can surpass my Director Chen? ”

"Tsk, if you look at it this way, Chen Fei is already the No. 1 director in the global box office list in 07, right?"

"Brother upstairs is right, I just calculated, and it's really like this!"

Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" received a total global box office of $960 million, topping the global box office charts in '07.

This was followed by "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" released by Warner, and "Spider-Man 3" released by Sony.

But the next fourth and fifth are "Iron Man" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" produced by Walton Pictures, both of which have reached 850 million US dollars at the box office.

Together, they are far superior to Pirates of the Caribbean!

"No. 1 in the global box office list in '07?"

Looking at the news from the Washington Entertainment News, Natasha couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long while, she raised her head a little dazedly, staring at Chen Fei with her eyes, "So, have we achieved the goal of surpassing the Big Six now?" ”

"What are you thinking? It's still early. ”

Chen Fei reached out and touched her head, he almost thought that this girl had a fever.

Do you want to surpass the Big Six in this way?

Are you kidding?

If you want to really establish the position of the top of the "New Seven", you must at least wait for Marvel's ten-year plan to be fully launched, or to top the Hollywood market share list for five consecutive years.

"Well, it looks like I'm daydreaming."

Natasha shrugged, a little disappointed, she had thought that her goal would be achieved in a very short time.

"Lower your expectations a little bit so that you can relax a lot and maybe it will happen next year."

Chen Fei joked with her with a smile and stamped the actor's contract in front of him.

Leonardo has confirmed that he will play the role of the male protagonist "Cobb" in "Inception", although his salary is a bit expensive, but considering his box office appeal, this salary is nothing at all.

Of course, what really impressed him was the investment share, which he had in this film with a 10% investment share.

Regarding the matter of following Chen Fei, Xiao Lizi did not hesitate at all.

The Golden Bear and the Palme d'Or simply made him want to stop, and he is now very much looking forward to it, how great it would be if he could work with Chen Fei to make an award-winning film?

In fact, in addition to Xiao Lizi, many people expressed their desire to cooperate with Chen Fei through their agents.

Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, ......

These people have all expressed that they can play the role of "Cobb", and even a few people offer a much lower price than Xiao Lizi.

But in terms of box office appeal, Xiao Lizi's advantage is too great, so Chen Fei finally chose him!

Handing the signed contract to Natasha, Chen Fei continued to ask, "What about the heroine?" ”

"According to your instructions, I am in contact with actresses such as Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, etc., and I may not be able to settle down in a short period of time, because they all have their own jobs, and they have to depend on the schedule and salary."

"Okay, don't rush, it's expected that filming will start in the second half of the year, just take your time."

As he was talking, Chen Fei suddenly thought of something again, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to try to contact Kate Winslet?" I feel like she's quite suitable for the role of "Mel". ”

“WTF？？！”

Natasha was instantly startled by his words, "Are you going to reunite Jack and Rose in this movie?" That's crazy, isn't it? ”

"Try it, maybe it'll be successful? I'm sure Kate Winslet would be interested. ”

“Oh my god！”

Natasha looked very shocked, but after thinking about it, she suddenly felt that it was not impossible!

Jack the Dream Rogue?

Phantom Rose?

“Oh！ No！ It's crazy! Is it a dream or reality? ”

…

The end of the month was approaching, and after arranging the next work, Chen Fei asked Bruce to book him a ticket back to China.

China Film sent an invitation to the premiere of "Yangtze River No. 7", and Zhou Xingchi also made a special call, asking him to be there to support.

This invitation must not be refused, and there are still a few very important things in the country that he needs to do, so he can just go back and deal with it.

Following the withdrawal of "Mulan" from theaters, Lu Chuan's "Nanjing! Nanking! also ushered in the moment of release, and the box office was finally fixed at 115 million yuan.

The box office losses were miserable, and the reputation collapsed.

The 58th Berlin International Film Festival announced the shortlist, and only Wang Xiaoshuai was shortlisted for the main competition unit with the film "Left and Right" on the mainland.

On the Hong Kong side is Du Qifeng's "Wen Que", which was also shortlisted for the main competition unit.

As for Nanjing! Nanking! is off the list again!

And this time, the failure also means that Lu Chuan will miss the three European golds, and completely draw a successful end to the three major awards of Golden Xiong, Golden Palm, and Golden Lion.

However, according to Jiang Wen, this guy sent the movie to the Tokyo International Film Festival again.

As expected, there will definitely be a big prize waiting for him over there.

And this "grand prize" will also be the last straw that will break the camel's back!

Chen Fei is ready to call him "Taijun" the next time they meet again, this guy looks like a Japanese traitor from his face!

…

On January 28, Chen Fei left the animation studio.

Chen Long rushed to the airport with him.

On the way, the two inevitably chatted about the movie.

"12 Zodiac" is in preparation, and Chen Fei doesn't care about the casting or anything, and all of it is handed over to Chen Long.

As long as you don't choose those actors with crooked butts, he won't interfere.

However, when talking about "Inception", Chen Long gave Chen Fei a new choice!

"According to the character image you mentioned, Chen Daoming is indeed suitable among mainland actors, but he is not well-known in Hollywood, and he may not be able to carry much box office, and he is not too famous in South Korea, Japan and other places.

If I had to decide, I would probably choose Chow Yun-fat. ”

"Chow Yun-fat?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, the role of "Zhuang Zhou" and Chow Yun-fat are indeed quite compatible, but he is ...... It's really a bad review!

As if seeing the entanglement on Chen Fei's face, Chen Long suddenly spoke again: "Actually, there is another person who is quite suitable." ”

"Who?"

"The one in The Last Emperor."

"Venerable Dragon!?"

"Yes, it's him, in terms of appearance, temperament, posture, popularity, and box office appeal, he is actually quite suitable."

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the "Ranger" released by Lionsgate in August last year.

Lee Lian, Jason Statham, Zun Long...

Although he is 56 years old, his temperament is really good, and he is also very suitable for the role in the play.

After pondering for a while, Chen Fei nodded and said: "His image is indeed quite suitable, this time I just returned to China, I can invite him to come over to audition." ”

"Need my help contacting him?"

"Then I'm bothering you."

"Haha, what's so troublesome about this, it's just a phone call."

…

The direct flight from Los Angeles to the capital took off quickly, and both men booked first class without worrying about being disturbed by outsiders.

On the domestic side, Shu Zhan, who was busy promoting "Magic Mobile", came to the crew of "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern".

She came to find Jiao Enjun.

This one is also very busy, the two crews of "Painted Skin" and "The Prequel of Baolian Lantern" are running back and forth, busy flying, and now they have to help "Magic Mobile" run publicity, and one person is directly divided into three!

"Advocacy? Are you here? ”

As soon as he joined the crew, someone greeted Shu Zhan.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhou Yang wearing filming clothes, still holding the script in his hand, as if he was memorizing lines.

"Well, I'm here to find Uncle Jiao."

While speaking, Shu Zhan subconsciously walked in the direction where Zhou Yang was.

However, when she walked next to Zhou Yang, she suddenly found something that shocked her!

"Your face..."

Zhou Yang raised his head and smiled at her: "How is it?" Doesn't it feel like it's more coordinated than before? It's also much more pleasing to the eye? ”

"Did you go under the knife?"

"Not really, it's just fine-tuned."

While speaking, Zhou Yang also took out his mobile phone excitedly, "I'll give you a call, that doctor's skills are very good, if you have an idea, you can try it." ”

Hearing her words, Shu Zhan subconsciously took a step back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I still don't need it, I don't have the idea of fine-tuning." ”

"Okay, then it's up to you, remember to come to me if you need it, you can get a discount!"

"Good..."

Seeing Zhou Yang get up and leave, Shu Zhan's eyes were very complicated.

He suddenly thought of Chen Fei's advice a long time ago, if you want to continue in this circle, don't move your face!

As soon as the face moves, it means that you have completely bid farewell to the big screen!

"Cousin!"

A shout pulled Shu Zhan's thinking back, looking at Xiao Nezha running from a distance, Shu Zhan's eyes became more and more complicated!

She also gradually woke up to the fact that her cousin was also restless.

Jiao Enjun specially told her that when filming in the crew, her cousin would often say bad things about her!

Sometimes, even if it's a close relative, it's not necessarily good for you everywhere......
