At the finale banquet of "Painted Skin", Chen Fei saw Han Sanping, who was frowning slightly.

"Did something happen?"

"Have you seen the shortlist of the Venice International Film Festival?"

Han Sanping's face is a little not good-looking, there are no mainland films shortlisted in this year's Venice International Film Festival, and several media are already shouting that mainland directors are "Jiang Lang's talent".

"Looked." Chen Fei knew what he was thinking, and after thinking for a while, he persuaded him, "I don't think I need to pay attention to the voices of those media at all, and it doesn't mean anything if I can't be shortlisted once or twice once in a while." ”

"Hey? You're pretty open? ”

"And no one scolds me Jiang Lang is exhausted, what can't I see?"

“……”

The smile on Han Sanping's face suddenly retracted, and he almost forgot that this kid in front of him was the double champion of Cannes and Berlin!

Anyone can be scolded Jiang Lang's talent, but he can't be scolded.

"Don't you have the idea of attacking the Golden Lion?" Han Sanping asked tentatively.

There is no director of the triple crown in China, but there are more than two crown winners, if Chen Fei can get the golden lion, he can directly declare a god!

"Not yet." Chen Fei shook his head, but there was some emotion in his heart.

If the system can give him a movie script suitable for the Golden Lion style, he will definitely not say a word, and just open the whole thing!

The temptation of the "Triple Crown" is too great for even him to resist.

Han Sanping suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, does the incident I told you about earlier have eyebrows?" ”

"Which thing?"

"The 60th anniversary tribute film."

"Hey? What are you talking about......" Chen Fei deliberately delayed for a while, seeing Han Sanping's face constantly changing, and then said happily: "I'm doing things, are you still not at ease?" ”

"Written?"

"That's nature!"

…

As soon as the finale banquet ended, Han Sanping pulled Chen Fei into his car and went straight to Zhongying.

Ren Zhonglun just wanted to catch up, but the two disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"These two guys are sneaky, they can't be plotting something big again, right?" He thought secretly, and wanted to catch up, but he didn't think it was appropriate.

Behind the gate, Ning Hao was walking out with his head down, but when he saw Ren Zhonglun's figure, his face suddenly changed!

During this time, he really coaxed this one.

When "The Undertaker" was doing the post-production on the side of Shangying, Ren Zhonglun was extremely enthusiastic and took care of him very thoughtfully.

As soon as you walk into the clubhouse, you will be tall, cute, mature, sexy, cold, big, extraordinarily large, white-skinned, dark-skinned......

The girls of Yishui stood in a row and let him choose.

Thanks to Ning Hao, he still adhered to the bottom line, he felt that he shouldn't be sorry for Aina, so he sternly refused this extravagant way of hospitality.

But Ren Zhonglun didn't give up, and thought that he was embarrassed because there were too many people, so he specially arranged another link in the evening.

Ning Hao endured a lot of pain, but he finally endured it.

But because of this, he has a headache when he sees Ren Zhonglun now, this "wooing offensive" is really unbearable for ordinary people!

"Ning Dao? Where are you going? Going to dinner together? ”

Listening to the "magic sound" ringing in his ears, Ning Hao's face instantly turned pale.

"No need, thank you Mr. Ren for your kindness, my wife is 60th birthday today, and I have to go home to celebrate her birthday."

As soon as the words fell, Ning Hao ran away without a trace, leaving Ren Zhonglun standing alone, his face full of unsolvable doubts.

Wife?

60 birthday?

What's the situation?

Why do these people feel weird today?

…

Medium Shadow.

Inside Han Sanping's office.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China?"

Looking at the script handed over by Chen Fei, Han Sanping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Let's not mention the content first, this name looks domineering enough, and it is a gift film type when you hear it.

"The title of the film is influenced by the "Founding Ceremony", and the word 'great cause' feels extremely heavy when it sounds, so I used such a name..."

While listening to Chen Fei's explanation, Han Sanping read the script word by word.

After a full hour, he closed the script, his face full of shock!

"This script is so well written!"

Chen Fei smiled, "It's good to be in your eyes." ”

"How are you going to shoot it?"

"Since you want to make a tribute film, let's make a big one, go directly to the all-star lineup, and all the actors use first- and second-tier artists in the circle."

"What? All use first- and second-tier artists? ”

Han Sanping was suddenly taken aback by his words, "According to what you say, if more than 80 characters are all big-name stars, the salary alone will be hundreds of millions, right?" ”

Although he likes to invest in blockbusters, he always hopes to recoup the cost.

Although Zhongying is a state-owned enterprise, it also has business pressure, which involves whether this position under his ass can be stable.

But if you follow what Chen Fei said, just the salary will cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and the investment of the whole movie will be at least 5-600 million yuan.

Will this pay for itself?

However, at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly said: "The investment in this movie, I roughly planned to be about 30 million. ”

"It's impossible, this amount of money is not enough to pay the actor's salary."

"But what if all the actors were willing to appear on the camera for zero pay?"

"How can this be ......?"

Han Sanping just wanted to say that it was absolutely impossible, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a tribute film!

It doesn't seem impossible to appear on the camera with zero pay!

Chen Fei got up with a smile, "I'll leave the preparation to Han Dong, the director is also named by you, you have a bigger face than me, and your network is wider than mine, it's the most suitable thing to do, and when the time comes, I'll hang up as a producer and cooperate with you to make this movie." ”

"Okay."

Han Sanping answered, and personally got up and sent Chen Fei out of the door.

Close the door, return to the desk, and look at the script on the table, the more he reads it, the more he likes it!

After a while, he picked up the phone on the table and called the secretary directly, "Compile a list of first-line and second-tier actors in the circle for me as soon as possible." ”

He decided to come and talk to these people about "salary" in person as the director of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"!

…

The reason why he gave up being the director of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is also Chen Fei's thoughtfulness.

There are a lot of big-name stars who need to appear in the film, and he is not interested in playing any unspoken rules of the crew with these people and engaging in those intrigue tricks.

At that time, he might as well go and shoot "Slumdog Millionaire".

Therefore, this film will be thrown to Han Sanping himself, and it is not easy to coordinate the schedules of so many actors, he doesn't have that much free time at all.

The invitation to the premiere of "Red Cliff" was sent throughout the film and television industry.

High investment, big lineup... It's all about breaking records!

When the reporter interviewed Wu Yu, he asked about the box office of the movie, Lao Wu was quite domineering, and his opening was 700 million, which was bound to break the box office record of "Mulan".

"Just stand up with you?"

Chen Fei pursed his lips, booked a plane ticket that night, and went straight to "Hello! Mr. Tree! filming.

He didn't want to get his eyes dirty, so he wasn't going to go to the premiere, so he just found an excuse and just ran away.

As soon as he thought of Wu Yu's "Red Cliff", he responded directly in his heart.

"I think back then, Cao Cao raised troops to the south, Chen soldiers were on the other side, Xiao Qiao entered Cao's camp alone to save his family and country, and Cao Cao boiled tea and talked about ......"

What is this horse shooting?

In the past, some people might have said that he didn't know a word, but now everyone knows his temper and character, so it's no surprise.

Although Wu Yu was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything in front of the media, after all, he didn't want to follow Lu Chuan's back path.

As expected, there was a joke at the premiere of "Red Cliff".

When Han Sanping spoke on stage, she didn't know what she was thinking, and there was a ridiculous slip of the tongue.

"China Film Club will do its best to mobilize the power of theaters across the country, carry out all-round publicity, and do its best to release the ...... of "Wuji" directed by Wu Yu"

Looking at the report on Sina.com, Chen Fei quickly guessed why Han Sanping made a slip of the tongue.

"Han Dong is worried that "Red Cliff", which is also a high-production and all-star lineup, will have a tragic ending like "Wuji".

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded approvingly beside him, "Such a high investment, if it can't be recouped, it will have a very big impact on both the producer and the director." ”

This is quite pertinent, but unfortunately, the street hit of "Red Cliff" is doomed.

It's only Xiao Ri who likes this type of movie more, and they seem to have some kind of inextricable obsession with the "Three Kingdoms" dynasty?

Chen Fei deliberately paid attention to the articles published by film critics who went to the premiere of "Red Cliff".

Without exception, between the lines are all words such as "brilliant and majestic", "spectacular picture", "worth savoring", as for the bad reviews, there is no one.

Ning Hao called, and the first thing he said was, "Don't go to the cinema to watch it, it's better to spend ten yuan to buy a pirated disc and play it as a frisbee if you have the money to buy a movie ticket." ”

"Is it really that bad?" Chen Fei asked knowingly.

"It's really that bad! I'm sure you'll regret it if you go to see it. ”

"Hahaha..."Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back his joy, it seems that this film did give Ning Hao a lot of 'shock'.

…

In the evening, Chen Fei led Wang Baoqiang and a few people to set up a barbecue grill, and a group of people took the ingredients they bought from outside, scrambling to become chefs.

Chen Fei didn't grab it, he liked to sit back and enjoy it.

However, just as he was chatting with Tian Zhuang about some problems encountered in the filming of the movie, the phone suddenly rang.

It's a multinational call, from New York.

"Leon? Can I help you? "According to the time difference, it is exactly 9 o'clock in the morning in the United States, which is the working time.

"Boss, according to your orders, the acquisition of the [Digital Domain] special effects company has been completed, and all the shares are now in hand."

"Yo? Is bankruptcy liquidation so fast? Chen Fei was a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How much did it cost in total?" ”

"After our multi-dimensional suppression, we only spent $20 million in the end."

"Haha, good!" Chen Fei was very excited, "If you arrange it, everyone in the acquisition team will receive three times their salary this month." ”

"Haha, I thank you for them." Leon laughed brightly, but then said: "Although the acquisition has been completed, there is a great shortage of suitable management talent over there. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange for someone to come over."

When Longxiang Capital became the third largest shareholder of Lucasfilm, it meant that one-third of Industrial Light & Magic already belonged to Chen Fei.

Drawing a few people from ILM to the digital realm will not affect the normal operation of ILM.

And Chen Fei already has a candidate in mind, which is the special effects engineer who worked with him for several months during the filming of "Iron Man 1" - Sandra Netbeck.

～

After leaving Mr. Shu's crew, Chen Fei returned to the company and watched the finished films of "The Undertaker", "Bullfighting" and "Life and Death" in great detail.

After confirming that everything is correct, you can submit it for review normally and wait for the finalization and scheduling.

Then he flew to Hong Kong, and deliberately went to several crews to run around, and paid attention to the filming progress while visiting the class.

At the same time, "Red Cliff" finally landed in mainland theaters.

The previous film critics' articles were all reported and taken down the next day!

And fans directly watched this film as a comedy, and the comments on the Internet made Chen Fei directly happy.

"Mengmeng! Stand up! ”

"My evaluation is that it is not as good as "Koshihikari Treasure Box"."

"So... Is this a movie? ”

", I get goosebumps all over my body, is this still the Three Kingdoms?"

"Ruined the original work!"

Chen Fei deliberately went to the theater with Huo Qigang to watch this movie.

The movie ticket was bought by Huo Qigang, and he resolutely implemented Ning Hao's suggestion and never spent his own money to watch this film.

Although he had made preparations in advance, when he saw the finished film again, Chen Fei was still stunned by thunder!

The love scenes in the big books, the funny lines of the super thunderers, Xiao Qiao who broke into the barracks alone, and the storyline that ruined the three views......

After watching the movie, Huo Qigang was stunned for a while.

"It's... Is this really a movie made by Wu Yu? ”

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, "It's like a fake." ”

The box office of China Film announced on the first day was 27 million, thanks to the large number of big-name stars in the play.

However, on the second day, the box office directly ushered in a wave of halves, falling by 16 million in the blink of an eye.

really responded to Han Sanping's previous words, this film is the same as "Wuji......

Wu Yu was obviously a little panicked, and hurriedly held a press conference, making it clear that the theme of his film was actually "anti-war".

And the reason why the storyline and lines are not quite in line with the Three Kingdoms in people's images is:

"I think the use of romantic and humorous lines and plots can form a strong contrast with the war scenes, and can also better reflect the spiritual core of anti-war."

Seeing this interview, Chen Fei was stunned.

He never thought that the core of this movie turned out to be anti-war!

Ran to the Three Kingdoms to shoot the anti-war?

What do you think?
