The arrival of August adds to the excitement of the capital.

The Olympics are approaching, and even if the odd and even number restriction policy is implemented on the road, it is still full of traffic and rushing.

On the way to the Bird's Nest, Chen Fei received a call from Kang Honglei, "Director Chen, "Life and Death Line" has succeeded again, the ratings have exploded, and the audience has responded very well!" ”

"How many points is Douban?"

"The current rating is 8.8 points, and the number of participants is as high as 10,000!"

Since the launch of Douban, this website has become a measurement tool for Chen Fei to judge whether a TV or movie is good or not.

A large number of people can give the most honest feedback, after all, the ratings are not deceiving.

For example, the 2.8 score of "Wu Ji" and the 3.7 score of "Red Cliff Up", these two data are definitely not false, and represent the most authentic feedback of the movie.

So far, there has not been that kind of operation team that brushes scores, so this Douban network can continue to be used.

"Keep up the good work, the production team will double each month's salary next month, and you will announce it in person."

"Haha, Director Chen, I thanked you in advance for my brothers."

After a brief chat, Chen Fei asked about the filming of another movie, "How is "The Wind" over there?" Didn't make any trouble, did you? ”

He is really not at ease with the two brothers of the Wang family and the two sisters of the Li family, these are the kind of people who love to toss, love to make stumbling behind their backs, and love to engage in small tricks.

"No, at present, Director Chen attaches great importance to this movie, no one is allowed to interfere, and the two presidents rarely come to the crew."

"That's good, you keep an eye on it, and call me as soon as there is a situation."

Chen Fei is finally relieved, as long as the two brothers of the Wang family don't do things inside, this spy war film will inevitably trigger a wave of movie-watching craze in the mainland.

The box office awards have been harvested, which is not difficult for "The Wind".

Approaching the Bird's Nest, the traffic became more and more crowded, and there was no end in sight after walking for ten minutes in just a few hundred meters.

The mobile phone rang again, it was a cross-border call.

"The North American box office of "Twilight 2" officially exceeded 300 million US dollars!"

On the other end of the phone, Natasha was extremely excited, even though it was late at night on Lao Mei's side, she showed no signs of going to rest.

$300 million is a crucial figure because there are fewer than 30 films that have broken through this level, and all of them have left their mark on the history of global cinema.

Interestingly, "Iron Man" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" are also in this ranks.

"Okay, the next thing is to look at the global box office results."

The second part of Twilight was released in mid-June, and it has been a month and a half since then, and the box office in North America should not rise much.

But North America is not the only box office in the world, and the results in other places are also very important.

However, breaking 300 million in North America has already achieved Chen Fei's goal, and this number has also surpassed the original results, which is already a huge victory.

Natasha continued: "Woody Allen has already started to prepare the filming plan for the third part, and we will also put the release time of the third part into next year's summer vacation, how about it? ”

"Ok, if you like it."

Chen Fei doesn't have much idea about the schedule of "Twilight 3", this kind of series can actually be placed at any time, as long as the response to the first two parts is good enough, the third part will have many fans to support whenever it is released.

On the other hand, those award-winning films can't be so casual, but if there are requirements for awards, they must go to the New Year's file.

And "Slumdog Millionaire" is a prize-winning film, so Chen Fei's goal is to finish it in September at the latest, and then seamlessly connect to "Inception".

The Bird's Nest has a "sacred" status in the hearts of every Chinese person!

Known as the "Art of Architecture" and "Miracle of Engineering", it stands in the center of the Olympic Park, interpreting the concept of "nest" in a unique form, implying warmth and home, and is the perfect embodiment of the harmonious coexistence of architecture and nature.

Relive, this is the first time Chen Fei has seen the Bird's Nest with his own eyes!

Zhang Yimou, who came to greet him at the door, introduced him: "The design of the Bird's Nest is inspired by the ancient Chinese hollow jade, and its appearance is like a bird's nest that gives birth to life, giving athletes and spectators a sense of home.

The whole building structure is unique, the steel frame is staggered, just like a bird's nest made of tree branches, giving people a strong visual impact, and it is the masterpiece of countless architects! ”

Walking into the venue, Chen Fei slowly looked up and looked around.

Under the illumination of the sun, the lines of the bird's nest are intertwined with light and shadow, which is extremely magnificent and spectacular!

As a landmark building, it has not only witnessed the historical moment of the Chinese Olympic Games, but also become a business card for China to show its cultural confidence to the world!

After visiting the layout of the Bird's Nest venue, the two went to the conference room and met with several leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee and torch designers.

"This ignition... How do you need to rehearse? ”

What impressed Chen Fei the most was the picture of Li Ning lighting the fire, hanging Weiya walking in the air, and finally flying to the top of the bird's nest to light the holy flame.

Zhang Yimou handed over a document bag, "Here are a few plans, you can take a brief look, but you must keep them secret." ”

Chen Fei nodded, opened the file bag, and saw that there were several alternative ignition plans recorded inside.

1. Drilling wood for fire and satellite laser ignition: The ignition athlete drills the "wood" at the ignition site, and after the successful drilling of the wood for ignition, it merges with the Olympic flame to symbolically "ignite" the laser emitting device, and then the laser emitting device launches a laser into space, transmits the signal to the "Dongfang Dragon" satellite in space, and then reflects the laser from the satellite on the cauldron to complete the ignition.

2. "Fuwa" Kong Ming lantern lighting: At the opening ceremony, the main cauldron was replaced by a floating huge Kong Ming lantern, the lamp was fixed with an anchor chain, and the fuel was also from there, making more than 200 small sky lanterns, and the representatives of the Olympic Committees used Chinese brushes dipped in ink to write blessing words on the sky lanterns, and sent representatives to light the main lamps, and the representatives of the Olympic Committees lit the small lamps at the same time, and then a hundred lanterns rose into the night sky.

3. "Torch Dance in the Sky": Decorate the sky above the "Bird's Nest" stadium with the image of space, and then design a circular track, and Yang Liwei will drive the model of the "Shenzhou 8" spacecraft, rotate around the orbit 8 times, and then fly to the ignition platform, and when approaching the ignition platform, the aircraft shoots flames, and the blazing torch is ignited.

"These plans are pretty good!" Chen Fei praised in surprise.

The ideas put forward by these designers are all great, and each proposal has its own internal meaning, both the picture and the effect are very stunning.

It's a pity that Zhang Yimou shook his head with some regret, "These are all plans that have been abandoned for various reasons." ”

"Huh? Deprecated? ”

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and silently put all the A4 papers into the document bag.

Now that it's been deprecated, there's no point in continuing to look at it.

"This is the latest ignition scheme." A leader of the Organising Committee handed over a new bag of documents.

Chen Fei stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and took a look, and a somewhat familiar feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Isn't this the plan that Li Ning ran long distance in the Bird's Nest stadium before rebirth?

After carefully reading the content, Chen Fei turned his head to look at Lao Mouzi, "So, let's rehearse this next?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Yimou nodded, and added: "You are a stuntman, and no one is more familiar with this kind of thing than you, so I am more relieved that you will be the torchbearer." ”

"We will live up to expectations!" Chen Fei reassured very seriously.

～

After coming out of the conference room, Zhang Yimou led Chen Fei to the ignition platform and introduced him to the route of the air walk, as well as some small details of walking and ignition.

"There are six days left before the Olympics and we are very tight, so we don't have a lot of time left for you to rehearse, you have to understand."

"yes, I see."

Chen Fei nodded seriously, maybe this ignition link is difficult for others, but it is not too easy for him.

This kind of thing is simply commonplace for him, so he can just treat this job as filming.

"Then let's prepare, let's have the first rehearsal first, this time mainly to familiarize you with the route......"

As he spoke, Lao Mouzi called the staff over and instructed them to put on Chen Fei's equipment for hanging Weiya.

But at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly found that as the rehearsal was about to start, there were suddenly a lot of security personnel in the venue!

Looking at the security personnel blocking the entrance of the stadium on the third floor and the outer three floors, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Are the guards so tight?" How can there be so much security? ”

Perhaps hearing his muttering, a WIA staff member said angrily: "Director Chen, you may not know very well that a big rehearsal we had some time ago was secretly filmed by a reporter from SBS TV in South Korea.

Those people were disgusted, and even released a two-minute and 09-second video, which included relevant details such as the opening ceremony performance, the entrance ceremony, and the lighting of the cauldron, and also introduced and commented on the video.

Just because of this video, many of the shows we have rehearsed for several years have been killed! ”

At this time, Zhang Yimou walked over from the other side of the venue.

After hearing the indignation of the staff, he sighed helplessly, "In fact, the original idea of the ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was that a phoenix flew from afar, holding the holy flame in its mouth, and lit the cauldron. ”

SBS TV?

"Did they apologize?"

"Not really!" Another WIA staff member was very angry: "Instead of apologizing, they are still sending people over in a vain attempt to sneak into the bird's nest and shoot more inside stories of the opening ceremony." ”

Chen Fei's eyes were slightly cold, these sticks are really cheap!

"Okay, I'll take care of this, don't apologize? I'd like to see how many heads they have. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yimou and the two staff members were stunned when they heard what he said, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Do you know anyone else in South Korea?"

"Yes."

Chen Fei didn't say much, Xijie and ShowBox definitely can't help, they are at the same level as SBS TV, and they belong to the kind of relationship that no one can help anyone.

And the reason why those sticks can make cheap mistakes everywhere in Asia is because of the "beautiful father" behind them.

It's very interesting to get the relationship here, the "beautiful dad" in the mouth of the stick, most of them have to shout "dad" when they see Chen Fei!

In other words, the sticks had to call him "grandpa".

So what the grandfather says, should the grandson listen to it?

Chen Fei believes that they will make the most correct choice, anyway, they and Xiao Ri are the same urine, and they like to hold a press conference to apologize to the public when they have nothing to do.

…

The rehearsal lasted until half past five in the afternoon, when Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou left the Bird's Nest venue together and rushed towards the CPPCC auditorium.

The movie "Kung Fu Panda" has caused a great sensation and repercussions abroad, and many foreign media have publicly stated that although this is a Hollywood movie, the Chinese elements used in it show the uniqueness of Chinese culture to the fullest!

There are even many people who see it as a promotional video for the 08 Olympic Games in China!

As the saying goes, flowers bloom outside the wall and fragrance inside the wall, and the sensation of foreign media has also caused an uproar in the mainland film and television circle.

There are many promotional clips that have been logged on to major platforms in the mainland early, which has aroused a lot of curiosity and attention, and now with the growing momentum of Hollywood, mainland fans have also flocked to the theater to watch this Hollywood animated film rich in Chinese characteristics.

The Film Bureau has paid a lot of attention to this animated film, and a certain leader has personally set the tone, thinking that this is an excellent animated film that can be promoted.

So under the coordination of many parties, there was tonight's movie meeting event.

The people from Chen Jiaban and Hong Jiaban flew directly from Hong Kong to the capital, ready to participate in tonight's activities.

They played an indelible role in the filming of the film, and since it was necessary to hold a meet-and-greet, it was naturally indispensable.

～

Many people had already gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the CPPCC auditorium, and the media and fans gathered here, waiting for the arrival of stars from all walks of life.

In front of the signature wall, Lan Yingying and Cai Wenjing held a tray in their hands, which contained the signature pen for signing.

Because the event had not yet begun, the two girls chatted quietly while waiting for the guests to arrive.

"Are you from the 08-level acting department of Chinese opera?"

After finding out the identity of the girl next to her, Cai Wenjing covered her mouth in surprise.

"That's right," Lan Yingying nodded lightly and said with a smile: "We are from the same session, but you are the 08th session of Nortel, and I am the 08th session of Chinese opera. ”

"Haha, okay! Okay! ”

Cai Wenjing nodded busily, she still understands the truth of multiple friends and multiple roads.

What's more, tonight's job is not easy to come by, and since the other party can stand here like himself, it is obviously not a shallow background.

"I heard that there will be a lot of stars and directors tonight, if you can meet them, maybe be remembered by the other party, that would be great!"

The most important thing in the mixed entertainment industry is connections, which is why the two of them came to be Miss Manners.

If you are lucky enough to be favored by a certain director, "Feihuang Tengda" will no longer be a dream in the future!

"Let's hope..."

Lan Yingying is also looking forward to it, the people she wants to know most are Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou, if she can be a "flying girl" or a "Mou girl", it will be great!

～

The meeting officially started at seven o'clock, and various stars, artists, directors, producers, and owners of film and television agencies stepped on the red carpet.

Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying suddenly fell into a hurry, they needed to keep smiling all the time and deliver the signature pen to the hands of every "big coffee".

Feng Xiaogang, Chen Guofu, Ning Hao, Wang Quanan, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Wang Zhiwen, Ge Wei, Shu Qi......

One after another, top directors and artists in the circle walked on the red carpet, causing screams and making Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying feel dizzying.

And when Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, Wang Luoji and other actresses who have a good relationship with Chen Fei walked on the red carpet, listening to the enthusiastic cheers on both sides of the red carpet, the eyes of the two showed undisguised envy.

When will they be able to enjoy such highlights?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard even more piercing cheers and screams echoing in the scene!

"Who's coming?"

The two subconsciously raised their heads, and saw that at the starting point of the red carpet, Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou, Chen Long, Hong Jingbao, and all the martial arts instructors of Chen Jiaban and Hong Jiaban stepped on the red carpet together.

"Director Chen is so handsome!"

The cheers on both sides of the red carpet were deafening, and Chen Long was quite hot to hear.

"I think when I was young, whenever I walked on the red carpet, I was always the focus of attention of the crowd, alas, now that people are old, my charm has dropped a lot."

Hong Jingbao, who was next to him, pursed his lips and said mockingly: "Don't toss, this is all a bone, be careful that you can't get up from bed one day." ”

"Hahaha!"

Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back, he suddenly thought of Yao Baotong and Zhang Lanxin, those two actresses were "hand-picked" by Chen Long.

A group of people came to the signature wall.

"Director Chen, please sign it."

A very nice voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears, he subconsciously turned his head, and was stunned when he saw Miss Manners's face.

"Fan Bing..."

Wrong? It's not Fan Bingbin!

After staring at the girl carefully for a few seconds, Chen Fei reacted, the face in front of him was indeed quite similar to Fan Bingbin, but the figure was too far away.

"Thank you."

After receiving the signature pen, Chen Fei signed his name smoothly, and then walked into the venue with the others.

After the finale, the red carpet ceremony came to an end.

Lan Yingying looked at Cai Wenjing with envy, "Director Chen stared at you for a while just now, I think he must remember you, and you are all from Nortel, maybe you will have the opportunity to be selected by him to film in the future." ”

"Why, he may have recognized the wrong person."

Cai Wenjing smiled modestly, but she had a little thought in her heart.

She obviously heard Chen Fei shouting Fan Bingbin's name just now, plus she was indeed a little similar to the famous actress Fan Bingbin, so it was normal to admit the mistake.

But it was such a name that made her heart move.

"It's better for me to learn from Fan Bingbin in the future and take the same sexy route, maybe I will gain a lot."

Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited!
