After returning from the magic capital, "The Undertaker" entered the filming state again.

Chen Long's side was also very fast, and at the end of April, it was announced that "Zodiac" would officially start filming.

At the press conference, two long-legged beauties stood beside him, forming a beautiful landscape.

The box office growth of "The King of Kung Fu" in China is not bad, 16 million on the first day, 18 million on the second day, and 21 million on the third day...

After the first week, Huayi reported its latest box office results.

81.25 million RMB.

At the same time, the foreign box office also came to 37 million US dollars.

"Why are there still many people watching such a plot?"

Liu Yifei still can't figure it out, judging from the data, it should be no problem for the domestic box office of this movie to exceed 200 million.

Is the box office inversely proportional to word-of-mouth?

It's weird!

Chen Fei asked rhetorically without thinking: "If I tell you that Chen Long and Li Lian collaborated to make a movie, even if there are many bad reviews on the Internet, do you want to watch it?" ”

"Go..."

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

Two kung fu superstars who are in the limelight overseas are working together for the first time, who can resist their curiosity?

Even if there are bad reviews on the Internet, many people still have the idea of anticipation and exploration.

Fans want to see how bad this film is to attract bad reviews from the whole network?

And then it's time to go with anticipation and return with disappointment...

As a producer, Huayi has really been scolded by domestic fans, even including Minkoff and the screenwriter team, and has frequently received ridicule and targeting from domestic fans in the past few days!

"Mr. Wang, forget the second plan, you can't continue to shoot."

Listening to Minkoff's voice on the phone, Wang Zhonglei chuckled in his heart, "The box office results are still quite good, and it is easy to return to the cost..."

"But word of mouth has completely collapsed, hasn't it? I have paid attention to the voices in China, and such a movie is not worthy of a sequel. ”

"We can use the second part to correct it."

Wang Zhonglei also wants to strive for it, as long as there is no problem in returning to the capital, continue to shoot two or three films, which can effectively enhance the trust of the capital market.

But Minkoff refused without hesitation: "Dispel this idea, an excellent production is worthy of launching a sequel, such a movie with a collapsed reputation, if a sequel is launched, it will definitely be a mess, our company will not continue to invest, it is too far from "Mulan" compared to it." ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to give up.

Hung up the phone and was silent for a moment, he ordered: "Arrange for the publicity and distribution department to prepare for the launch of the preparatory news of "The Wind", so as to redeem the fans' verbal criticism." ”

"Okay."

Wang Zhongjun answered, turned his head and left the office.

…

When he received the news that he would not continue to launch a sequel, Zhao Yanzi was in a relationship with Hu Jun in the crew.

As predicted by netizens, the movie "New Mulan" does focus on various "emotions", rather than big scenes.

"Okay, I got it."

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yanzi's face was gloomy.

The sequel to the 70 million US knife is gone, which is really a great loss for her.

Although she cheated Huayi, Huayi was not indifferent, and she also cheated her in the follow-up editing of the plot.

Nowadays, fans at home and abroad have a high opinion of Li Bingbin's "white-haired witch" image.

On the contrary, she was labeled by many people as "admiring foreign flattery" because of falling in love with the gringo and filming the kiss scene.

The popularity brought to her by "Deep Love and Rain" and "Huanzhu Gege" is rapidly dissipating!

～

With the continuous continuation of the release, "The King of Kung Fu" has gradually been labeled as a "bad movie".

A professional film critic in China made a very pertinent comment: This film has made a breakthrough in the films of Chen Long and Li Lian in balancing the tastes of Eastern and Western audiences, and the direct performance is to sacrifice the viewing experience of domestic audiences, and then make up for it in the overseas market.

There are also voices coming out of Hong Kong Island: the co-production of "The King of Kung Fu", just like the shadow puppet performance of "The Lion King" and the Peking Opera version of "The Three Musketeers", while trying to balance it, it is inevitable that it will reap mediocrity!

Seeing this evaluation, Chen Fei suddenly remembered what Lao Mouzi's movie was.

"Three-Gun Shooting Surprise"!

Just this film, I almost didn't pull him off the altar!

If it weren't for the follow-up "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", I'm afraid that the character he accumulated from the Olympics would have been lost.

In other words, do many people really like Zhou Dongyu's little girl?

…

A week later, Tang Ren announced to the outside world the final casting of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Huo Jianhua......

"Sure enough, the original team is still comfortable to watch."

Chen Feile picked up the call from Yang Mi.

"Eat? Forget it, I don't have time, let's talk about it when I have time, play it well, and don't live up to my expectations of you and this role. ”

"Okay, senior brother, don't worry, I will not let you down."

Yang Mi was busy responding, secretly swearing that she must work hard, completely unaware that she had been filled with the cake painted by Chen Fei...

～

On May 1, "The Siege of October" held a premiere in the CPPCC auditorium.

In the big hotel on the other side, Chen Kaige held a finale banquet for "Mei Lanfang".

Chen Fei couldn't figure out what Brother Chen Kai's idea was.

You just have a finale banquet, so can't you postpone or hold it a day earlier? Do you have to put it on May Day?

Both parties are inviting celebrities in the circle, even including the CEOs of various film and television companies, just to support the scene.

Chen Kaige's name as the director of the Palme d'Or is indeed hard enough, and many second- and third-tier actors, as well as the bosses of some film and television production companies, have gone there.

It's a pity that the first-line artists and the CEOs of the top film and television production companies in the circle are on Chen Fei's side.

"It's like no one doesn't have a Golden Palme."

Chen Fei pouted, in addition to the Palme d'Or, he also has a golden bear, and there are a lot of trophies such as the Oscar, Golden Globe Award, and Saturn Award.

In terms of box office, he Chen Kaige is not ranked, and he is even more incapable of awards!

It's just a golden palm, and you really want to eat it for the rest of your life?

…

There are many Hong Kong Island artists who are coming to Beijing today to attend the premiere, and as a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong, both sides uphold the idea of working closely together.

Huo Qigang also came to the scene, and said babblingly: "I hope the box office can be higher, and pull the shares of Golden Harvest up again." ”

Chen Fei didn't answer his words, but asked rhetorically: "Didn't you go to see Guo Jingjing?" ”

"Go, I want to train over there, and I won't let me in." Huo Qigang made a very aggrieved look.

Chen Fei looked straight at it, he was very curious about the love concept of these Hong Kong "big and young", is it really like what Old Man He said, only by loving his wife can he start his career?

Starting from Huo Qigang and then to Xiaojin Tudou in the back, it seems that they are all implementing this thinking.

In order not to make him too sad, Chen Fei had to start a new topic, "How is the preparation of "Cold War"? Are the actors all set? ”

"It's set." Huo Qigang eased his emotions and said a few key words, "I invited Liang Leming to be the director, and then according to your ideas, I pulled Guo Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, Peng Yuyan, Lin Jiadong, Li Zhiting, Yang Caini, Qian Jiale and others over to make this movie together."

If you start filming, it will probably be the end of June, because many people's schedules are not relaxed, and they have to join the group a little later, but the scripts have been given to them. ”

"That's good."

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction, this love brain is still quite reliable.

The Emperor and the people of Media Asia have specially flown to China today.

Just had time, Chen Feishun took a look at the situation about "Sweeping Drugs" and "Fierce Wars".

Huo Wenxi is no longer in charge of film production, and her current focus is basically on the side of the Flying Shadow Emperor Agency, so the person who answered became Yang Shoucheng.

"Directed by Chen Musheng, Gu Tianle, Zhang Jiahui, and Liu Qingyun are all old drama bones, and their acting skills are absolutely fine."

Zhuang Cheng and Shi Nansheng are also here today, and both have a say in the situation of "Guild Wars".

"We invited Lin Chaoxian to be the director, starring Zhang Jiahui, Peng Yuyan, and Mei Zhu."

"What's going on over there in "Eavesdropping 3"?"

"It is still directed by Mak Zhaohui, Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, and Wu Yanzu, and the three of them ......"

"Stop, wait?" Chen Fei interrupted Zhuang Cheng's words and looked at him with some doubts, "What about young actors in Hong Kong?" Why are these people going back and forth? What a new person to bring! Otherwise, how will this market be raised in the future? ”

Peng Yuyan is barely a newcomer, but he is Taiwanese, but he went to Hong Kong to develop, and he can't be linked to the category of young actors in Hong Kong.

Mei Zhi's acting skills are very good, but she is a mainland actor, she is 33 years old this year, and she can't get along with young actors.

Seeing that Zhuang Cheng couldn't say it for a long time, a name suddenly popped up in Chen Fei's mind.

"Is there a guy named Huang Zongxue over there? He has a good image, and he can play a supporting role or something. ”

"TVB won't let people go."

"Made, you deserve to die!"

Chen Fei was a little depressed, when did this horse rider go, and he still did this kind of thing?

The Hong Kong film market is obviously about to set in the sunset, and if you don't want to hurry up with the old and bring the new, you still hold on to it? !

These old drama bones are really good, but they won't be able to act after all!

What to do later?

There is not even a successor, are you really ready to kill yourself?

Shaking his head a little speechlessly, Chen Fei didn't have the heart to continue chatting with him, and went to receive others on his own.

Let them go, he can't do that much.

…

Speeches are unavoidable.

Taking the microphone handed by the host, Chen Fei thought about it and said: "This movie should be regarded as a new attempt, cross-editing action and history, connecting legends and revolutions, and perhaps allowing fans to have new experiences and insights into history." ”

Just when the movie was officially ready to be screened, Han Sanping led a group of people to be late.

After all, "Mei Lanfang" was invested by China Film, and Han Sanping definitely couldn't miss the finale banquet over there.

Ning Hao went to Feiyue Film and Television on behalf of Feiyue Film and Television, and now he has come with him.

Chen Fei was a little curious, "Why did you come so early?" The finale banquet over there in "Mei Lanfang" has ended? ”

"Well, it's over." Ning Hao lowered his voice and explained: "Almost everyone in the circle has come to the premiere of "October Siege", and Brother Chen Kai's face is very ugly, so it ended early. ”

"He's idle."

Chen Fei was a little speechless, when will the finale banquet be held? I have to join in the fun.

Facing the big scene of the gathering of 29 first-line stars in "October Siege", do you have a fart row in "Mei Lanfang"?

The movie begins to play, and the story begins with Mr. Sun's arrival in Hong Kong......

The scene of Hong Kong's Central with an investment of 68 million was a great shock to the audience!

Chen Fei was secretly glad that he didn't invite Li Yuchun, otherwise this film would have been ruined!

…

On the morning of the 2nd, the box office of the first day was freshly released.

30.55 million yuan in the mainland and 9.66 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

"Congratulations, it's another masterpiece with good word-of-mouth and box office!" Feng Xiaogang called, and his tone couldn't help but be full of envy.

"'The Assembly' is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Alas, it's too controversial, and it's better to make comedies."

Chen Fei knew that he was filming the classic movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" recently, and it was estimated that it should be completed soon.

As expected, just thinking about it, Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to say: "Remember to leave a time to participate in the finale banquet of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb". ”

"Okay."

Chen Fei responded with a smile.

Because of the influence of "The King of Kung Fu", domestic fans have recently felt that their eyes are dirty and urgently need an excellent movie to wash their eyes.

It just so happened that "The Siege of October" was released at this time.

Chen Fei's reputation is still very good, at least so far no movie has collapsed.

Fans walked into the cinema with anticipation, and then walked out of the cinema with shock and feeling!

Whether it's an action movie or a historical film, there's no doubt that this is an excellent work.

Douban scored 8.7, and 20,000 people left messages at the bottom.

"If I close my eyes, it will be China's tomorrow! This line! Screenwriter talent! ”

"This is a movie where every actor has a breakthrough in the inherent image, Nicholas Tse is no longer a handsome guy, Li Ming is no longer a little white face, Hu Jun is no longer a big hero, Donnie Yen is no longer the king of kung fu, these actors have made great breakthroughs, it's really good!"

"The first half of the literary drama is definitely one of the best representatives of group drama in Chinese films!"

"After watching this movie, look back at "The King of Kung Fu", what is the fart that stepped on the horse?"

", even a coffee like Li Jiaxin is a soy sauce role in this movie, which shows how many acting masters have gathered here!"

"Every change in history has to pay the price of blood, but it still can't stop the giant wheel of the times from rolling forward, I would like to pay tribute to the sacrifice of my predecessors with this film!"

There have been rave reviews on the Internet, and film critics have not hesitated to praise the word.

Several entertainment newspapers even took Chen Fei's speech at the premiere as the headline!

The phrase "good things come in pairs" is not something that is said casually.

Just when a number of media broke the news about the filming insider, tidbits, and post-production anecdotes of "October Siege", Sina.com posted a list on the front page.

This is a shortlist for the 34th Saturn Prize.

Many netizens clicked on the picture with curiosity, and then they were directly stunned in the next second!

Best Actor: Robert Downey Jr

Best Director: FeiChen

Best Sci-Fi Film: "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk"

Best Fantasy Film: "The Twilight Zone"

Best Animated Film: "Wall-E the Robot"

Best Young Director: FeiChen

Best Action or Adventure Movie: "Mulan"

Best Actress: Liu Yifei

Best Screenplay: FeiChen

Best Horror Film: "Latent"

Best Supporting Actor: Jiao Enjun

…

Looking at this row of nominations, netizens were directly stunned!

"? I'm afraid that this Saturn Award will be rounded by Director Chen? ”

"Good guy, this name, I like it too!"

"Handsome! Is the mainland film and television industry going international? ”

"Please forgive my ignorance, I used to think that the Saturn Awards had no gold content, but recently I suddenly found that the nominees for this horse seem to be top A-category films!"

"Brother, you can understand it this way, the awards that can be won in the "Oscars" are similar to the kind of literary and artistic dramas in our country, and the "Golden Globe Awards" are awards selected by foreign journalists, with a large scope, as for the "Annie Award" is an exclusive award for cartoons, and the "Saturn Award" is a paradise for science fiction, action, fantasy, and thrillers. ”

"Understood,, Chen Daoniu is broken! That's amazing! ”

When the news of the nomination reached the crew of "The Undertaker", it immediately caused another uproar.

"I've been nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a while before reacting, and looked at Chen Fei with a face full of disbelief.

"Is this true?"

"Hey? Why are you lying to you? I don't have the interest to fool the little girl, there is a specific report on Sina.com, if you don't believe it, you can see it yourself. ”

Slightly stunned, Liu Yifei ran away.

"The lead actress ran away?"

Ning Hao was also happy, he knew that Liu Yifei's reaction would be great, but he didn't expect it to be so big!

"You're a real cow! So many shortlisted nominations? How did you do it? ”

"First this, then that, it's easy to do, you can too."

“……”

Ning Hao rolled his eyes and walked to the side silently, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but do it.

Relaxing?

Easy fart!

With the announcement of the Saturn Awards, the domestic film and television industry was suddenly boiling.

Judging from the current effect, the implementation of the "mainland film and television going overseas" plan that Chen Fei said at the graduation ceremony has already achieved initial results.

If this trend continues, it may no longer be a fantasy to connect with Hollywood!

But at this time, foreign film and television production companies led by Disney, Paramount, and Warner are all headaches.

“Oh！ Fuck！ ”

Disney's current CEO, Bob Eagle, couldn't help but curse as he looked at the Saturn Award shortlist printed on the magazine.

Judging from the current situation of this shortlist, there is a chance that the cooperation between DreamWorks and Paramount can win, as for Disney... I'm afraid I'm going to lose again!

And John Lasseter, CEO of Pixar Animation Studios, also smiled wryly after seeing the shortlist for Best Animated Film.

"Ratatouille" once again meets "Wall-E the Robot", and Pixar has no chance of winning in the face of this film that won the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Animated Film!

And what's even more terrifying is that this situation may continue until '09!

The latest animated film "Kung Fu Panda" produced by Walton Pictures has begun its initial promotion, and according to the footage that has been revealed so far, John Lasseter deliberately compared the three films "Lightning Dog", "The Princess and the Frog", and "Flying House".

Then he was shocked to find that except for "Flying House" barely able to fight with it, Disney's two movies were completely scum!

On the other hand, DreamWorks is also comparing "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda".

“Fuck！ He is a Chinese director, why would he produce such excellent animation works? ”

The CEO of DreamWorks also began to go on a brainless rampage!
