30.55 million, 36.92 million, 35.13 million ......

The box office data of "October Siege" has been rising, and the word-of-mouth has formed a very obvious difference with "The King of Kung Fu", with the former receiving rave reviews and the latter scolding.

Half a month after the release, Huayi couldn't bear it after all, and quickly announced that the preparations for "The Wind" had come to an end and would be officially launched in June.

As soon as the news came out, when netizens saw that this movie was co-produced by Huayi and Feiyue Film and Television, they immediately had high expectations.

In blogs and forums, many people are talking about it.

"That's how it should be, hug the thighs of Feiyue Film and Television, how cool does it feel to be taken away?"

"The two brothers of the Wang family are simply stupid, why don't you find Director Chen if you want to make a co-production? He is the chief content executive of Walton Pictures and Marvel Studios, and if he was asked to write the script, he would definitely not make a bad movie like "The King of Kung Fu"! ”

"? The lineup of "The Wind" is quite awesome! Directed by Chen Guofu, Chen Fei participated in the production, Zhou Xun, Li Bingbin, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Su Youpeng, Wang Zhiwen... Did this Nima pull the actors from the Palme d'Or? ”

“……”

Huayi Building, in the CEO's office, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun looked at the discussion of "The Wind" among netizens, and their faces were a little strange.

The attitude of this group of people has changed so quickly!

The front foot is still scolding the "King of Kung Fu" bad batch, the people in Huayi Company are stupid donkeys, but the back foot began to praise the lineup of "The Wind" is really good, Huayi's operation is smart enough...

"Aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue?"

Wang Zhongjun's heart was full of resentment, obviously the director and actors are Huayi, but how could it be Chen Fei who was praised?

Where is the reasoning on this step?

Wang Zhonglei's eyes were complicated, and he moved the mouse to close the blog site, "How much is the box office of "The King of Kung Fu"?" ”

"In just half a month, the mainland box office was 155 million."

"Alas, it seems that it can't rush to 300 million."

Wang Zhonglei sighed, and then ordered: """Painted Skin" is about to be released, and the publicity over there is quite frequent, you instruct Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun to let them mention "The Wind" when they are promoted." ”

"Okay." Wang Zhongjun responded, but then reminded again: "Zhou Xun's matter is clear, she is indeed preparing to open her own personal studio." ”

Hearing this, the temperature in the office suddenly dropped by several degrees.

Wang Zhonglei's face was gloomy, "Since it has been decided, let's add more scenes to Li Bingbin according to the previous plan, shape it into a double heroine, and readjust the script." ”

"I'll do it."

Wang Zhongjun was very enthusiastic, after all, he accepted the "benefits" of the sisters.

…

Relying on the popularity of "October Siege", "Painted Skin" began to be promoted, and the banner was very clear: "The screenwriter is Chen Fei".

The title of "Script Golden Hand" is now a real hammer in China, and no one can shake it at all!

Brother Chen Kai was very unconvinced, and secretly made up his mind to prove himself again with "Mei Lanfang"!

It's a pity that he didn't catch up with this year's Cannes Film Festival, but he doesn't care, because he is ready to learn from Chen Fei and rush for a wave of Golden Bear Awards.

As long as he can win the award, he is also the director of the Palme d'Or + Golden Bear, and his status in China has not been raised all the way?

However, what he didn't know was that "The Undertaker" was also aimed at the Chinese New Year and next year's Berlin Film Festival.

The two sides have to fight for real guns!

…

Because he has to take the crew of "Painted Skin" to do publicity, Ning Hao has been very busy recently, so much so that the crew will stop work from time to time.

After taking some free time, Chen Fei took a plane to Hengdian.

"Bullfighting" was finished, and Huang Bo called several times and asked him to come over to support the scene.

"What's the matter, I'm like a popular card in the green building?"

Chen Fei muttered in a babbling voice, feeling a bit of repercussion in his heart, but finally agreed to Huang Bo's invitation.

The first card is the first card, as long as you abide by the bottom line and ensure that you don't sell your body.

"Huh? How does it feel like something isn't quite right? ”

…

Natasha has been very busy lately.

"Twilight 2: New Moon" is about to be released, and various promotional activities are being carried out recently, and "Game of Thrones" will also be launched on the Hulu platform during the summer vacation, and she has to follow up on the pre-promotion.

But what makes her feel fortunate is that the casting of "Inception" has finally come to an end.

The protagonist group has been fully matched, and the choices of the remaining supporting roles, she simply packed and threw them to Bruce, so that he could be responsible for following up.

As Chen Fei said, in terms of finding actresses, this guy does have an extraordinary talent!

With Kate Winslet and Monica Bellucci both signing contracts, with Bruce's efforts, the follow-up actors were quickly put in place.

Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively......

Except for Amanda, who is appointed by Chen Fei, the latter two actresses were all recruited by Bruce in Hollywood.

It's just that what Natasha didn't expect was that on the third day when she signed a contract with these actresses, the American lifestyle magazine "Vanity Fair" selected Hollywoods new wave - Hollywood's new four little flowers.

They are: Kristen Stewart, Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively.

Very coincidental things happened suddenly!

In addition to Kristen Stewart, the last three little flowers all happened to sign contracts with "Inception" and became part of the Inception team.

As soon as the news was exposed, the whole Hollywood was in an uproar!

This Nima is also too coincidental!

Originally, many fans were looking forward to this movie, but now with the addition of Hollywood's three little flowers, this sense of expectation has been directly pulled to the full value.

As for Kristen Stewart...

She herself is currently an artist in charge of Bruce, so isn't it very rare and common to come to a cameo role when the time comes?

In this way, the first combined work after the selection of the Hollywood Four Little Flowers appeared so naturally!

Then Chen Fei directed it, and Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Monica Bellucci participated in the filming.

For a while, countless fans seemed to have been hooked, and published articles on the Internet all day long, asking "Inception" to start filming quickly!

Even more extreme movie fans began to put up banners at the door of Walton Pictures!

Natasha ignored the banner-pullers, as this is a common thing in the United States, and they will leave themselves when they get tired.

After another phone call with the person in charge of Hulu to confirm the promotional resources after the premiere of Game of Thrones, Natasha looked at the financial statements for the first half of the year.

The proportion of revenue continued to rise, and the sale of DVD rights and video rights increased the liquidity in the company's account a lot.

Not to mention just filming one "Inception", even if you come to three more, you can eat it!

"The performance is getting better and better." Natasha muttered to herself.

The impact of the financial crisis is throughout the United States, but it is not a big deal for Walton Pictures and Marvel Studios, after all, what should have been prepared in advance.

She has even begun to fantasize that when all the movies currently shot are officially released, the company's market value will at least increase several times!

"Jingle bell..."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted her fantasies, and after glancing at the caller ID, she pressed the connect button.

“dad？”

"Natasha, I have something I'd like to inform you of..."

As the voice on the phone kept coming, the smile on Natasha's face gradually dissipated, replaced by deep sorrow and anxiety, and a little anger!

When housing prices skyrocketed last year, her father diverted some of the family's funds and bought a large number of CDOs in the market, hoping to make a profit on the difference.

But I never expected that the real estate bubble suddenly broke out, housing prices fell, and CDS became the best quality resource, while CDO became all waste paper!

And this also means that all the money that his father invested before has been locked!

As for the purpose of the call......

Quite simply, Volton wants to recoup the $3.1 billion loan it previously lent to Walton Pictures.

If the repayment is carried out according to the normal contract, the money will not be repaid in a lump sum until at least ten years have passed.

This was agreed at the time of the loan, and both parties signed a contract, and no one was allowed to default.

This can already be regarded as a gambling agreement, if Chen Fei can't pay the money back after ten years, then he will have to hand over everything he has now.

But now, Natasha's father has made a big disaster, and if he can't fill the vacancy before the end of the year, it will even affect the future family inheritance!

In desperation, he had to call his daughter, wanting to get the 3.1 billion in advance.

But this money is currently being used to acquire Marvel Studios, so how can it be taken out all at once?

At the beginning of the year, Disney proposed the idea of buying Marvel at a premium, willing to buy Marvel from Walton Pictures for $4 billion.

But at that time, both Chen Fei and Natasha refused without hesitation.

Marvel has been revitalized, and it will definitely be a cash cow in the future, and it is absolutely no problem to earn enough 3.1 billion in ten years.

But it will take time!

Now it happens to be the development period of the company, how can it be possible to come up with so much money?

"I need to communicate with my partner."

"Natasha, I hope you can help me once, the ceiling of the film and television industry can be seen at a glance, but the future of the Volton family is unlimited, even if Walton Pictures is gone, I can help you open another film and television company, but if my inheritance position is gone, everything for us will be gone."

The phone was hung up directly by Natasha, and she suddenly felt that her father had become so strange!

The gambler's psychology and opportunism ended up in vain, but he had to end up with his own daughter!

"What do you say to Fei?"

Natasha suddenly fell into deep thought.

…………

Hengdian is notoriously mixed.

There are various crews distributed in the film and television city in the center, and ancient costumes, spy wars, fairy tales, martial arts, etc. can be found here.

And outside the film and television city, all kinds of people gather here.

In addition to group performances, there are more street girls!

Following his memory, Chen Fei came to the place he rented when he was a group performer.

But he didn't go in, but stood at the mouth of the alley and looked in.

The reason for not going in was very simple, because there were too many "hot girls" standing at the intersection, and he was afraid that he would be forcibly pulled into a small room by them.

Accustomed to eating abalone, he can't accept these 20 yuan coarse bran.

"Little brother? Come in and have fun? ”

The hot girls were very bold, and when they looked at Chen Fei's outfit, they quickly judged that this was a big customer.

If you can come to a service, you can earn at least 50 yuan!

"No, thank you, I'm just walking around here, I don't have that kind of thought."

"Ai, Meishi, don't be shy, man, who hasn't had that thought? What's the big deal with this warts? You come with your sister, I'll introduce you to a beautiful sister, isn't this love coming? ”

Chen Fei didn't listen to her slander, and turned around and withdrew without hesitation.

After so many years, these sisters are still so generous, but it's a pity that he is really unblessed.

…

The finale of "Bullfighting" was very grand, Huang Bo has also accumulated a lot of contacts over the years, and many friends have come from all over the world to support him.

Chen Fei also saw Deng Chao!

I went up and asked only to find out that this guy actually came to Hengdian to visit the class, and Sun Li was here to shoot a promotional video for her first music album "Little Dream".

"I see that there are a lot of people here, so all of them came here to have a good time and say hello by the way."

"How's your lawsuit going?"

"It's a bit complicated..."Deng Chao's eyes were a little complicated.

After Zhou Xun was dug into the company, the two brothers of the Wang family set their sights on Deng Chao again, wanting to pull him into the big family of Huayi.

It is estimated that there is some agreement in private, and the cooperation between the two sides has been quite close in recent years.

Deng Chao is currently waiting for the contract to expire, and then turned his head and entered Huayi directly, but just a few days ago, he was suddenly sued by his own brokerage company!

The company demanded that he compensate 7.5 million yuan on the grounds of suspected breach of contract!

This matter has recently caused quite a stir in the circle, and many people in the industry are secretly arching the fire.

Orange Sky and Rong Xinda are the happiest, after all, they have the biggest conflict with Huayi, they are happy to watch the excitement, and even add oil and vinegar from time to time.

And after listening to Deng Chao's answer, Chen Fei's heart suddenly understood.

It is estimated that he also has a big problem in this, and it is not so easy to get together and disperse.

…

"Chen Fei, this time I don't have any smell on my body at all, I should be able to hug one, right?"

Huang Bo rattled with big teeth, and when he came up, he gave Chen Fei a bear hug.

"It's still smelly..."Chen Fei looked at him with disgust on his face.

"Really?"

Huang Bo sniffed his clothes suspiciously, and he also deliberately sprayed men's cologne, which has been very popular recently, it should be tasteless, right?

"Hahaha, I'm going to play with you, hurry up and host, today you are the protagonist, I have to withdraw first after a while, Baoqiang's movie is about to start, and I have to rush over and stand on a platform."

When he said this, Chen Fei felt more and more like a top brand of Qinglou, and it was also the top brand of the "chain store" type!

"Okay."

Huang Bo answered, turned around and left.

Many reporters came over to interview Chen Fei and asked him what he thought of other movies or hot news in the entertainment industry, but without exception, all of them were stopped by him with the words "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know".

Except for the question about "Bullfight", he ignored all other questions.

After staying for a few hours, Chen Fei rushed to the airport and prepared to go to Liaoyuan.

After more than a month of training, Wang Baoqiang's performance was finally recognized by Tian Xingzhuang, and he simply decided to start the machine directly tomorrow.

First the plane, then the green train, then the bus... After a journey of more than ten hours, Chen Fei finally arrived in Liaoyuan!

The little assistant who followed him returned halfway, and the little girl's family really couldn't bear this kind of crime, and they vomited a mess on the train.

When he saw Wang Baoqiang again, Chen Fei could clearly feel the change in him.

His face turned sallow, his lips were chapped and peeled, his beard was unkempt, and he had a chicken nest on his head, like a village keeper.

"Director Chen."

Seeing Chen Fei arrive at the scene, he grinned happily, and his yellow teeth looked very piercing.

"Thank you for your hard work, this role is quite a sacrifice."

Tong Liya said to the side: "Bao Qiang worked very hard, in order to be able to interpret "Mr. Tree" more real and close to life, he began to learn to smoke and drink, almost every meal has to drink some liquor, and sometimes even smokes three packs of cigarettes a day..."

Wang Baoqiang just laughed, he was not very good at expression.

"He did give me a big surprise."

Tian Xiangxing next to him also sighed, he never thought that after a month of intensive training, Wang Baoqiang would be able to undergo such earth-shaking changes!

Chen Fei asked tentatively, "Let me see the "tree" in your mind?" ”

"Camera! Come and test shoot a section. ”

Tian Xiangzhuang immediately shouted, one is to show Chen Fei the results, and the other is to record, which can be used as propaganda material.

After a while, the camera was set up.

In the shot, Wang Baoqiang wears a messy beard and hair, rimless glasses that are extremely inappropriate with him, wears a baggy old jacket and an old-fashioned handmade red sweater, and stands in place with his arms crooked, a cigarette in his mouth, and squinting at people, his eyes are confused and listless, and his steps are idle and procrastinating.

"Tree" seems to be sloppy and cowardly, but his heart is extremely sensitive, this internal and external contradiction is like his hands that are always dangling and nowhere to place, and the state of being at a loss and confused in the face of life is extremely complex.

"Bang Bang!"

Chen Fei gave timely applause, Wang Baoqiang really did not disappoint him!

There were not many media at the opening ceremony, almost all of them were reporters from local TV stations interviewing, and the distance was too far for ordinary people to bear the fatigue of such a long distance.

Tian Zhuangzhuang is also the kind of person who is resolute and resolute, and he makes movies very quickly, and there is almost no procrastination.

Chen Fei paid attention to the state between Tong Liya and Wang Baoqiang, and what surprised him was that this woman took care of Baoqiang very well, and it was the kind of care from the heart!

He is a director himself, so he can naturally see that Tong Liya's behavior is not a scene, she really regards Bao Qiang as the closest person.

Chen Fei didn't know what the future would be, but judging from the current situation, they were still very good between them.

It was fast to noon.

After eating, most of the actors in the crew went to take a lunch break, and Chen Fei came to a stream at the edge of the village by himself.

The May day was already sweltering, and there were many tadpoles swimming around in the stream, as if looking for their father and mother.

Minutes and seconds ticked by.

At 2:28, he grabbed his mobile phone and stared at the screen, and his body was instantly covered with cold sweat!

An hour is like a world away!

At 3:30, the bell rang suddenly!

Chen Fei pressed the connect button, his right hand trembled slightly, listening to the voice on the phone.

", Director Chen, it's so scary, the ground suddenly cracked, and the whole mountain fell down......"

Quietly listening to the other party's narration, after a long time, Chen Fei's voice trembled slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Are you safe?" What about the children? ”

"Well, we're safe, there's no big problem with our film and television city, but there are a lot of wooden buildings that have collapsed, and it is estimated that they won't need it, those students are very good, but they were scared a lot, thanks to their parents who took them to the film and television city today for a study visit, otherwise ......"

I didn't continue to say it over there, the rest of the words were too cruel!

"Cooperate with the local community and do all the auxiliary work."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Fei took a deep breath and felt a little relieved.

"Goo-dong!"

A circle of ripples suddenly appeared in the water, and he subconsciously looked down to see a frog jumping from the grass into the water.

The tadpoles immediately gathered around them, and they found their mother.

Chen Fei stood up straight, he was going to go back, and some of the things prepared in advance had to be coordinated and mobilized by him personally.

After all, a person's strength is limited, and he can only rely on his own ability to do what he can.

As for the rest......

It's good to have a clear conscience.
