As Chen Fei had expected, the box office of "Twilight 2: Starmoon" was released at the box office in the first weekend, once again meeting expectations.

64 million on Friday, 57.63 million on Saturday and 50.53 million on Sunday.

The opening weekend box office totaled: $170 million!

once again broke the record of opening a picture in North American film history!

And when the first box office data was exposed, Sensei said that it was the mainland, and even many Hollywood film and television production companies were stunned!

When he received Natasha's call, Chen Fei was running publicity with several main creators of Game of Thrones.

Listening to the girl's excited voice on the phone, he smiled slightly: "It seems that the global box office should be able to reach the results I expected." ”

170 million US dollars in the first weekend, this data has surpassed the 151 million opening score created by "Spider-Man 3" last year, creating a new film history achievement!

And to Chen Fei's surprise, this data is actually much higher than the original timeline.

The unmodified Twilight II didn't have a good reputation, with a measly 23% on Rotten Tomatoes and a $130 million opening weekend box office in North America.

But after the revised script, the box office performance is now 40 million higher than the original work, which proves that Chen Fei's revision is correct!

After cutting off the call with Natasha, he quickly called Woody Allen.

"The third part is ready to start preparation."

"Just follow the way you set it out?"

"Yes, this time I'm going to invite people from ILM and Weta Digital to help you shoot, and my requirements are even higher than the second part in terms of special effects and visual effects!"

"What about investment?"

"Another $30 million."

“Oh！ Fei！ Your courage and courage are some of the best I've ever seen! ”

The old man was very happy, he didn't expect that he was already in his 70s, and he could still make such an excellent commercial series masterpiece.

If this trend continues, when the Twilight series ends, he will also become one of the best commercial directors in Hollywood!

There are no other movies in June that can compete with Twilight, and even this year, there are no particularly exaggerated blockbusters.

However, the sequels to the series include "Batman: The Dark Knight" and Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4: Crystal Skull".

Chen Fei deliberately paid attention to the situation of these two movies.

The former was scheduled for July 18, while the latter was released on May 22, but it was only $100 million in the first three days of the weekend, and now it has been released for nearly half a month, and the North American box office has just been fixed at $190 million.

"Surpass the former, crush the latter!"

Chen Fei muttered, extremely optimistic about the global box office data of "Twilight 2: New Moon".

At the same time, the box office results of "Painted Skin" in China are also constantly coming.

After 20 days of release, the total box office in mainland China was 243 million yuan.

To be honest, Chen Fei was still a little unbelievable when he saw this data, he thought that after experiencing that disaster, the box office trend would continue to decline.

But now, even if the early publicity activities were all cut in half, it did not curb the audience's movie-watching boom.

According to this trend, it should not be a problem for the total box office in the mainland to finally break through "The Siege of October"!

Although there are still some gaps compared with "Mulan" and "Thai Embarrassment", if you compare it downward, it can be described as a peerless ride!

Since the box office of "Chinese Partners" exceeded 300 million yuan the year before last, until today, there are still only two directors who can exceed 300 million yuan at the box office of the movie, Chen Fei and Ning Hao.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang, who are recognized by netizens as the troika of the mainland film and television industry, now give people a feeling that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents!

"Jiang Lang's talent?"

Feng Xiaogang, who was finishing up on "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", was stunned when he saw this report.

If it were according to his previous temper, he would have unceremoniously sent back: You are talented Jiang Lang, and your whole family is Jiang Lang talented!

But today, he couldn't lift his spirits for a while.

I don't know why, Chen Fei is obviously a whole round younger than him, but it gives him an illusion of invincibility!

"Alas, I hope this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" can be fruitful."

He sighed and entered the shooting state again, "Feng Yuanqiu, no, your state is not enough to be a mother, you have to pinch your throat for the words 'people build the country', and point out the orchid to me......"

On the other hand, Chen Kaige, who was doing the later stage of "Mei Lanfang", was full of disdain.

He is a proud, never-defeating man, and the phrase "Jiang Lang is exhausted" will never appear in his dictionary.

At the same time, in the meeting room of the Olympic Organizing Committee, Zhang Yimou voted for Chen Fei and recommended him as the relay bearer of the last torchbearer.

While waiting for the staff to sing the tickets, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What should be the name of the new work?

"Three bullets, only three shots, and an unexpected process and result... In that case, it's better to call it "Three Guns Shooting Surprise"! ”

"Chen Fei 27 votes, Li Ning 11 votes ......"

In front of the blackboard, the votes have already been decided!

…

Just as Chen Fei was watching all the episodes of the first season of "Game of Thrones" being uploaded to the Hulu video website, Su Guohai sent an email from China.

The results of the Magnolia Awards came out, and as expected, "My Leader, My Group" won the Magnolia TV series Gold Award, while "Golden Wedding" won the Silver Award.

As for the other "Struggle", which caused a lot of craze, it was nothing, and its screenwriter Shi Kang published more than a dozen articles on the Internet, accusing the jury, bombarding the two award-winning TV series, and satirizing a group of award-winning actors...

"You didn't see the man, like a mad dog."

Su Guohai was still a little apprehensive, and he was a little hairy by that person at the award ceremony, for fear that the other party would pounce on him and bite him.

"Ignore him."

Chen Fei didn't pay attention to him at all, this guy is a representative of abstraction, "Struggle" does have two brushes, but that is not real life at all.

It's not so much an urban drama as it is fantasy literature......

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei chose to continue to stare at the data of Game of Thrones, he had high hopes for this drama, and the investment of 7 million US dollars per episode was spent on the blade!

Unlike "Red Cliff", it is clear that the release area does not include North America, but the promotional poster was actually posted in Hollywood.

Wu Yu doesn't know what he's doing?

Do you have stolen money in your hands?

When talking to Ren Zhonglun on the phone to ask about the post-production of "The Undertaker", Chen Fei got a piece of gossip about Wu Yu's operation.

"Do you know the reeds? Like you, you're also a screenwriter. ”

"Is it the teacher who adapted "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive"?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That's him! He wrote the original script of "Red Cliff", but I heard that Wu Yu did not use the original version, but strongly requested to revise the script and increase Xiao Qiao's role......"

Listening to Ren Zhonglun gossiping about all kinds of inside stories, Chen Fei unconsciously came up with that classic line in his mind.

"Mengmeng, stand up ......"

However, he has also heard of a version, this line seems to be added by Wu Yu's wife herself, and it seems to be connotating something.

After chatting for a while and gossiping, Ren Zhonglun suddenly changed the topic, "I heard that the TV series you filmed has officially started to be paid on demand?" ”

"Yo? Has the news reached the country? ”

"Well, Sina.com put the news on the headlines as soon as possible, and their news delivery speed is really fast, and other websites haven't reacted yet."

Chen Fei explained simply, "The first season has only been uploaded for less than an hour, and I'm afraid we won't know until tomorrow what the specific effect is." ”

Chen Fei also has some expectations, because most of the actors are not prominent, so the early publicity of this drama almost revolves around the characteristics of "high production".

With nearly 7 million dollars per episode, this is definitely the top production in the North American TV drama market, and there is no one!

Hulu has provided a lot of publicity for this TV series, and it is obvious that the two best publicity channels are the opening screen promotion and the homepage headlines, which also makes many people discover this drama in the first place.

Chen Fei's fame has once again become a favorable factor to attract audiences, and many of his fans want to join in the fun and see the mystery of this show.

What kind of work can consume so much investment?

At the same time, there are also many film critics who paid for on-demand at the first time, eager to see the final effect of this drama.

Disney's current CEO, Bob Eagle, is such a curious viewer.

According to his experience, the "curse" of American dramas that are difficult to succeed in magic dramas is indestructible, and Chen Fei, a fledgling guy, actually challenged the theme of magic dramas for the first time when he transformed into a TV series, and invested so much money, which is definitely a very stupid act!

However, when he finished watching the first episode with an attitude of wanting to criticize, he suddenly froze in front of the computer.

Why did he feel that the "curse" was about to be broken?

…

Early the next morning, when Chen Fei logged on to the Rotten Tomatoes website again, he immediately saw the comments of many film critics on this TV series.

“Oh！ O my God! It's a masterpiece! With its infinite and orderly creative space, it includes thousands of characters with full images, grotesque, unique and imaginative customs, and its space is complete, the details are rich, and the narrative is arbitrary. ”

"It's only a short episode, but I saw extravagance, blood, darkness, eccentricity, and sometimes surprisingly luscious, malice and kindness intertwined, as unpredictable as life! It's one of the best episodes I've ever watched! ”

Fortunately, the adaptation of "Game of Thrones" did not have "nerve split", its idea is the same, that is, to make the TV series more concise and focused on the premise of maintaining the flavor of the original book, and most of the new plots are reasonable, and there are genius strokes in the dialogue from time to time, which are all commendable, and they are also rare masterpieces in adapted film and television works! ”

“……”

As Chen Fei predicted, there were rave reviews on the Internet!

Hulu told him the on-demand data as soon as possible.

In 24 hours, the number of paid clicks was as high as 2.15 million!

"It's a lot of money!"

The cost of a Hulu cable subscription is about $14.99 per month, and based on the 2.15 million click-through rate data, it has earned back $32.22 million in just one day!

"Shhhhh

Chen Fei subconsciously gasped, this thing is also a gold-absorbing weapon!
