328. Olympic torchbearers? The power of the original party! Murder and heartbreaking!
The premiere of "The Wind" was a great success.
The two leaders of the private film and television company have joined forces to jointly launch a movie, which is almost destined to be a big success!
At the premiere, Wang Zhonglei had a bright smile on his face, and the first sentence when he spoke on stage was, "This time, we want to break the record in the field of spy films and create a new record!" ”
He didn't dare to say that he wanted to surpass "Mulan", after all, the figure of 600 million was too exaggerated, so he dared to think about it when he dreamed.
As a producer, Chen Fei was naturally invited to the stage.
However, he did not look forward to the future like Wang Zhonglei, but focused on choosing to consider the present, "As an actor, acting skills are the foundation of a foothold in the film and television industry, and I hope you can give full play to your strongest ability and jointly create a classic in a Chinese spy war movie." ”
Zhou Xun smiled brightly and applauded first.
On the other hand, the expression on Li Bingbin's face was a little stiff, she could hear the meaning of Chen Fei's words, and he was warning her not to continue to engage in those "evil ways".
Li Hao was also applauding, but his eyes looked in the direction where Zhou Xun was, cold and piercing!
After the premiere, Chen Fei was just about to go to China Film to inquire about the situation, but saw a group of reporters suddenly surrounding him.
"Director Chen, congratulations on being elected as the last torchbearer of this Olympic torchbearer!"
“???”
Listening to the words of the Sina reporter in front of him, Chen Fei looked confused.
Olympic torchbearers?
The last stick?
What's the situation?
As if seeing the confusion on his face, the reporter explained with a smile: "This is the latest news announced by the Olympic Organizing Committee, and I may not have time to inform you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the mobile phone in Chen Fei's pocket rang suddenly.
He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Yimou calling!
"I'm tired, I'll borrow it..."
Squeezed out of the crowd, Chen Fei got into the car, and then called the phone back.
Lao Mouzi's phone rang from the receiver: "Did you receive the message?" Congratulations, the last baton of the relay. ”
"What's the situation? Why am I the last one? Or be responsible for lighting the fire? ”
Chen Fei's mind is full of doubts now, this news is really shocking to him, how can he be?
Zhang Yimou, "That's right, this is voted by the organizing committee, your vote is the highest, and you will have to light the fire when the time comes, remember to come to rehearse the ignition a week in advance." ”
"Why! I'm not competing in the Olympics and I'm not an athlete, is that appropriate? ”
"Hey? Why aren't you an athlete? Didn't you win the IRONMAN Triathlon World Championships? ”
"I'm just an amateur..."
Chen Fei wanted to explain a few words, but was directly interrupted by Zhang Yimou, "It doesn't matter if you are amateur or not, anyway, your registered status in the Sports Bureau is a professional athlete, and you have fame, ability, and international influence, so it is most appropriate for you to be responsible for ignition." ”
Hearing this, Chen Fei had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll go to the rehearsal in advance." ”
He was originally going to devote himself to the filming of "Slumdog Millionaire", but now, the plan still can't catch up with the changes.
The ignition time of the Olympic Games is at 0:00 on August 9th, and according to Zhang Yimou, the rehearsal will start on August 2nd, so there is only more than half a month left for Chen Fei to have free time.
"Whew!"
Hanging up the phone, he breathed a long sigh of relief and told the driver to go straight to Zhongying.
Now it's time to speed up the follow-up!
…
The preparation of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is fully responsible for China Film, and the investment is still set at 30 million yuan.
When signing the contract, Han Sanping was full of confidence, "My idea is this, since this movie is to be characterized as a gift film, then simply let the top film and television brokerage companies on both sides of the strait and three places participate."
Each family gets 5%, so that when choosing actors, we can also choose them, saving people from gossiping. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Chen Fei nodded, without the slightest opinion.
He doesn't really pay much attention to this matter, it's enough to come up with the script himself, and leave the rest to Han Sanping.
Multi-party coordination is the most complicated thing, his ability is enough, but his qualifications in the circle are not enough, and it is not suitable for him to come forward.
After signing the contract belonging to Feiyue Film and Television, he turned around and left Han Sanping's office.
I just didn't think about it, as soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Yang Shoucheng leading Zhong Xintong to stand outside the door, as if he was about to knock on the door.
"Yang Dong?"
"Mr. Chen!"
The two looked at each other and chatted happily.
"Hello Director Chen." Zhong Xintong also greeted him obediently on the side, but his eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Fei.
The impact of her incident was too great, otherwise, she would definitely be a member of the "Flying Shadow Emperor Agency" at this time.
"Things are turning around?" Chen Fei asked curiously.
"Well, I'll talk to Han Dong." Yang Shoucheng said very tactfully, obviously with little confidence.
If it weren't for the Olympics, he wouldn't have dared to mention it, and now that there is a slight turnaround, I just hope that I can gain something.
"Then you guys are busy first, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, there's a chance to have tea."
"Director Chen, walk slowly."
…
Chen Fei's election as the Olympic torchbearer caused a lot of shock in the film and television industry.
In the past, many people thought that the film and television industry was actually a group of "actors" singing on stage, engaging in some scandals and gossips all day long for entertainment.
But now they have discovered that not everyone can do this drama!
Carrying the torch to the Olympic Games to light the fire is not something that ordinary people can do!
On the blog, a lot of people talk about it.
"I didn't expect that! I really didn't expect that Director Chen could be selected to be the igniter of the last torch. ”
"I read the official report, this is still voted by the organizing committee, it is a serious process, and there is no dark box operation."
"I don't know what kind of way I'll light the fire when I think about it, but I feel so much looking forward to it."
"Made, how can I go to the Olympics to watch the opening ceremony? I don't have a ticket! ”
"Come on, from today onwards, I will officially announce that I want to learn from my idol Chen Fei, I will also make commercial blockbusters, and I will also become a great director admired by thousands of people!"
“……”
There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that he has been chosen, he will take the time to go for a trip, but he is quite free and easy.
What really caught his attention was another piece of news, "Batman: The Dark Knight" was officially released in Hollywood!
Directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, and Marion Cotillard, and with Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, American Legendary Pictures, and Syncopy, it slashed the first-day box office of $67 million, breaking 12 records for North American films, which can be called terrifying!
The data of "Twilight 2: New Moon" was easily broken, but Chen Fei was not moved in the slightest.
The investment gap between the two films is simply boundless, and it is natural to exceed it, so there is no need to be sad or anything.
Of course, the most important thing is that Batman was not introduced to the mainland, but on the other hand, Twilight got a first-day box office of 45 million yuan in the mainland!
This data is not an ordinary stick in the introduction film.
It has been more than 20 days since it was released in the mainland, and now the box office has exceeded 200 million yuan.
Chen Fei once again felt the power of the original party!
He had already contacted Natasha to inquire about the preparations over there, and the time suddenly became tense again, and he had to hurry up and start the machine.
"I'm almost ready, I was thinking about reducing costs, since you're in a hurry, let's spend more money."
Natasha is already in India, and after contacting the local area, she has found a suitable venue and actors, but the salary and rental fee have not yet been negotiated.
"Okay, it's okay to spend a little more money, make sure it's safe, I've heard that it's a mess."
"It's really messy enough, I've found a lot of bodyguards..."
~
When the call ended, Chen Fei had already arrived at the door of the company.
He found Ni Xuelin first, handed him the script of the anti-Japanese war film "Snow Leopard", and arranged for him to sort it out and send it for review.
This drama tells the story of a rich boy who graduated from a military academy, who was willing to give up fame and fortune and endure all kinds of hardships at the moment when the flames were raging and the nation was in danger, creating a unit that carried out special operations tasks, and finally became an excellent commander The legendary story of the anti-Japanese hero.
Although this TV series is inevitably suspected of being a "divine drama", it is a rare masterpiece.
Let's ask, who could escape the three words "Zhou Weiguo" back then?
"When the Japanese are gone, when my son returns home!"
When he saw this line at that time, Chen Fei was so excited that he almost ran to Japan, wanting to set fire to the Yasukuni Shrine with his friends!
"New script?" Ni Xuelin looked at it curiously.
"Yes, new script." Chen Fei nodded and said casually: "After the trial, throw this book to Wang Shiliang's kid to shoot, and you will go to the crew to help when the time comes." ”
There are three directors in the company, when it comes to making spy war films, Kang Honglei is definitely a good hand.
But Chen Fei didn't want him to mix in the TV circle like this, and it happened that "The Wind" started filming, so he sent him there as an assistant director to learn more.
Kang Honglei knew that Chen Fei was going to let him develop in the film industry, and while he was excited, he immediately said that he would work hard and live up to his cultivation!
It's also quite interesting, who would have thought that he just invested in the filming of a "Soldier Assault" at the beginning, and now he is so deeply implicated.
went around and around, and now there is only Wang Shiliang left as a rookie.
Next, I have to feed him a lot of films, his professional level is still there, shoot more and direct more, and his future development in the film industry will naturally be smooth sailing.
After chatting briefly with Ni Xuelin, Chen Fei turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this time, Ni Xuelin suddenly stopped him, "Mr. Chen, are you busy now?" There's something I'd like to talk to you about. ”
"Oh? What? ”
"I've recently bought a lot of copyrights, you can give me a palm"
"Okay."
Chen Fei nodded, but he was not in a hurry to leave, and reflexively sat next to him and read the script.
"The Year in a Hurry", "Ghost Blows the Lamp", "To Our Dying Youth", "Why Sheng Xiaomo" ......
Looking at it, there are more than 30 copyrights, and most of them are very familiar to Chen Fei.
"Network?"
"Yes." Ni Xuelin nodded and responded: "No matter how much the physical book is changed, most of the books that can be written are literary films, or spy war types.
I still stumbled upon that many online literature websites are very suitable for adaptation into TV series, and even movies, so I bought a lot of online film and television adaptation copyrights, and the copyright fee for the adaptation of this kind of online literature is much lower than that of physical books. ”
Chen Fei looked at the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" quite curiously, and asked by the way: "What are the current websites?" ”
Ni Xuelin, "It's not very much, it's just a few who are very famous, Singularity, Jin Craftsman, and most of my copyrights here were bought by Red Sleeves Tim Xiang, which belongs to the female frequency."
Most of the female frequency networks adhere to the style of 'small and beautiful', which is very convenient for film and television, while the male frequency is often a big scene, except for this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the others are not very suitable for the current film and television market. ”
Chen Fei knew that this "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was serialized on the forum before, but later signed a starting point.
In his previous life, he also watched this online adaptation of the movie, and his senses were quite good, and the box office results returned were also very high!
As Ni Xuelin said, the female frequency is indeed suitable for adapting TV episodes, but what he doesn't know is that the male frequency is actually very good!
It's just that similar to covering the sky, beast blood, Buddha Ben, Devouring, etc., the cost of special effects is too high, and it is not something that ordinary companies can handle.
If it is shoddy, it will be the kind of operation that "fights and turns horses" into a commotion.
But these are not difficult things for Chen Fei!
He can completely benchmark these fantasy and fairy tales to the size of Marvel, first engage in anime, absorb a certain number of fans, stir up the IP, and finally make it into a film and television.
As for the special effects and input, these are not difficult for him at all.
Cameron's Click Digital and Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic, both of which are currently under his command.
The two major companies that specialize in special effects and visual effects will still be worried about not being able to play these fantasy, fantasy, and fairy tales?
Although the domestic film soil is not yet mature, and the box office performance is not comparable to Hollywood, all this will change in the near future!
Marvel is indeed enough, but all kinds of domestic fantasy are not bad, when it comes to world view, I don't know who is strong and who is weak.
"Marvel on the left, fantasy on the right..."
Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.
"Smack!"
He slammed the table and immediately decided: "I'll go talk to Mr. Su later, it's better to directly acquire the starting point and other stations you said, and we will operate those online film and television adaptations casually in the future, what do you think?" ”
"Huh? All acquired? ”
Ni Xuelin was stunned for a moment, and his face changed for a while.
His original intention was just to let Chen Fei give him some advice, or even praise him for his foresight in this behavior, and it was best to add more bonuses.
But he never expected that he would say so casually that Chen Fei actually wanted to buy those network stations.
How does this work......
Jinnima is domineering enough!
"Are they all acquired? I don't think it's necessary at the starting point, because that kind of fantasy is more suitable for anime and game adaptations, and it's difficult to film and television. ”
"Not now, but that doesn't mean it won't work in the future."
Chen Fei's eyes flashed with anticipation!
This kind of fantasy and Xianxia movie already has a subsidy of "cultural going to sea", if it can be produced according to the mode of Game of Thrones, or even directly filmed in the way of Class A big production, and then take the route of global release......
He didn't dare to say whether it would succeed or not, but this model was definitely promising!
Even if it fails in the end, a station of such a large size as the starting point will definitely not lose money.
If you put in the energy to operate, you can continue to provide a large number of scripts that can be used for filming in the mainland film and television market!
So, early acquisition is definitely promising!
Marvel's success is just around the corner, so why can't the starting point replicate the "myth" of the former?
Chen Fei was very moved.
~
After he found Su Guohai and said this, the other party was more excited than him!
"Acquisition of a network station? Choose the right book from the library for film and television adaptation? Hey, that's a good idea. ”
But in the next second, Su Guohai suddenly frowned, "But I don't understand the acquisition process or anything?" Can those network sites agree? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I will find a professional negotiation team from abroad to assist you, and you only need to sign and pay the money when the time comes."
"Okay, that's fine." Su Guohai nodded without hesitation.
But then he mentioned one more thing, "By the way, the matter of entrusting an intermediary company to buy an office building has already been recognized, and the office building they found is at the junction of Nortel and China Opera, and the location is quite good." ”
"How old?"
"Uh..." Su Guohai thought for a moment and replied, "It's equivalent to the size of three Huayi." ”
"How's the price?"
"It's quite suitable, it's within the normal range."
"Then buy it." Chen Fei said very casually, as if he was buying a cabbage, "If the conditions allow, try to move here before the end of the year, it just so happens that the rent here is about to expire." ”
"Okay."
Su Guohai answered, picked up the phone and contacted the intermediary company.
Chen Fei turned around and left the office, the domestic affairs have been almost arranged, and the rest of the trivial matters will be taken care of by others.
He was going to fly to India first to see how "Slum Million" was being prepared.
But just before leaving, he received a call from Wang Ke, "Mr. Chen, "Ten Perfect and Nine Beautiful" has been almost dealt with over there, if you are interested, you can go to the Internet to take a look." ”
"Oh?"
Chen Fei opened the laptop he was carrying with him with some curiosity, and saw that there were suddenly many questioning voices in blogs, forums and other places.
""Perfect" is compared to "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing"? Poof, it's interesting, I'd like to see if this film is good at rocks and racing. ”
"Who is Wang Yuelun? Does anyone popularize science? Why did he say that he was comparable to Chen Fei and Ning Hao? ”
"Producer Li Xiang? Is that the host of Mango Channel? ”
"Husband and wife join hands and take a leap forward? Hahaha, I'm happy to die, this cow is too big, right? ”
"Brothers, let's look forward to it first, if this film is not as good as advertised on the Internet, don't blame me for scolding!"
In the airport waiting hall, Chen Fei turned off the computer and was very satisfied with Wang Ke's operation.
"Murderous heart!"
