355, do you want to "Avatar"? An unserious thought, what about Mei Lanfang? No way! (Ask for a commuter pass)
It was four o'clock in the afternoon.
When the system's prompt sound echoed in his head, Chen Fei pinched the double brake of the bicycle and stopped the wheel brake at a street corner.
There were many onlookers behind him, as well as many reporters with cameras, and everyone's eyes fell on him, without blinking, for fear of missing some wonderful pictures.
Looking at the leaflet that had been distributed on the side of the frame, the corners of Chen Fei's mouth raised slightly.
"The flyers have been distributed, the system tasks have been completed, and the next step... Back to the hotel! ”
He waved goodbye to the crowd behind him, then stepped on the bicycle pedals and headed back like a gust of wind.
The system's chime continues in my head.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the challenge task (perform a cool and exciting bicycle acrobatic performance on the streets of Berlin and earn 30,000 reputation points)]
[This mission earned a total of 43,256 reputation points.] 】
[Due to the extremely high completion of this task, double blind box rewards will be triggered!] 】
[A-level reward mystery box×2 has been successfully distributed. 】
[The blind box is being opened......
[Congratulations to the host for receiving rewards: Premium Script Pack, Locomotive Driving Mastery (Lv3)]
"Open the bag first."
Chen Fei gave a command to the system while riding his bicycle.
The process of completing the task is exciting, but in comparison, it is the opening of the gift package that is more exciting!
Every time he opened the script package, Chen Fei felt a thrill of his heart beating faster and adrenaline rushing, and this feeling in the face of an unknown reward was no less than the tremor afterwards.
[Ding: The high-quality script gift package has been opened, congratulations to the host for getting the script rewards: "How to Train Your Dragon", "Righteous Brothers", "Heart Flower Road". 】
"Oh, that's good!"
Looking at the three rewards that appeared in the system's script library, Chen Fei's eyes couldn't help but light up, and a sense of excitement arose in his heart.
How to Train Your Dragon is an animated film based on the 2003 children's book of the same name by British author Gressida Cowel, How to Train Your Dragon.
The film tells the story of Burke Island's Viking teenager Hiccup who secretly releases and raises an injured wyvern during a dragon slaying operation, and even tames the dragon, becoming friends with it in the process, and finally facing disasters and challenges together.
This is another classic animated series movie, which can be compared to "Kung Fu Panda"!
Chen Fei was still thinking about whether he should show his ability as a "chief content executive" after becoming the second largest shareholder of DreamWorks.
Now this "How to Train Your Dragon" is just right, and it is completely possible for DreamWorks and Walton Pictures to co-produce it.
Goal: Specializing in Disney!
As for the "Righteous Brothers", it is a story set in South Korean society, mainly telling a series of stories that happened after South Korean intelligence agent Lee In-kyu and Northern Korean agent Song Zhiyuan were expelled by their respective organizations and lived under the same roof.
Chen Fei paid attention to this script, and saw that there was a strong Hong Kong flavor between the lines.
In recent years, South Korean films have been greatly influenced by the Hong Kong film market.
Including the "New World", which was a big hit in South Korea, there is a strong Hong Kong flavor in it, and even many fans have seen the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" from it.
As the producer of the script, Chen Fei did not deny this.
"The subject matter is pretty good, why don't you take it for SBS?"
The acquisition of SBS by Walton Pictures is currently underway, and Natasha has been following up on the matter recently, and it should not be long before the entire acquisition process is completed.
As a branch of Walton Pictures in South Korea, it is naturally inseparable from film and television investment, production and distribution.
Therefore, it is particularly important to use an excellent movie to prove its strength to the outside world!
This opening must be "red" enough.
"So, is this movie appropriate?"
Chen Fei was thinking secretly while pedaling the bicycle.
It's a pity that he couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he simply left this matter behind him and waited for the company's acquisition to be completed.
In the end, Chen Fei's eyes fell on the last script of this gift package reward.
"Heart Flower Road"
Speaking of this movie, it is not to be underestimated!
The story tells the story of Geng Hao and his good buddy Hao Yi on an absurd and interesting "journey to find love".
The script adopts the technique of double-line narrative, taking the breakdown of Geng Hao and Kang Xiaoyu's marriage as the starting point of the narrative, and in the story of Hao Yi and Geng Hao "looking for love" on the way to the crew to deliver props, interspersed with the past of Kang Xiaoyu who went to Dali alone and met Geng Hao in the past, telling the different pursuits of marriage, life and ideals of different groups of people in modern life.
This film has created a high honor in film history, with its exquisite storyline, unique narrative style, and beautiful scenery constantly interspersed during the journey, it won the 2014 domestic film box office championship with a final box office of 1.169 billion!
"This is the king bomb!"
At this moment, Chen Fei inexplicably thought of "Avatar".
He suddenly had some thoughts, the investment in this film is not high, but the story is very novel, and it belongs to the kind of commercial comedy that is small and big.
"Why don't I do it myself?"
Thinking back on the film plan in his current hands, Chen Fei became more and more impatient.
However, before he could think about it, he looked up and found that he had returned to the hotel!
"Forget it, let's get the current work done first, the rest is a later story."
Muttering in his mouth, Chen Fei rolled over and got out of the car, pushing his bicycle and walking towards the hotel lobby.
In addition to these three movie scripts, the system also rewards a "locomotive driving mastery", and at this time, a lot of locomotive knowledge is emerging in his mind.
Interestingly, this skill can be combined with the two skills of "Riding Mastery" and "Cycling Mastery" to form a 1+1+1>3 effect!
"It's kind of interesting."
He whispered to himself and pushed the bike back into the room.
The bike was flown in by Red Bull, and now that his challenge is over, someone will come and pick it up in two days.
He was back at the hotel at half past four, and by the time the others came back, it was already about half past five in the afternoon.
Looking at the tired crowd, he smiled and asked, "How is it?" Are all the flyers out of the way? ”
Ning Hao was okay, nodded and responded: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”
On the contrary, Liu Yifei and Zhu Zhu smiled a little awkwardly, and the two of them were still holding a stack of leaflets in their hands.
"You're all done?"
"Yes, I'll be back at half-past four."
"Why are you so fast?"
Liu Yifei was a little shocked, if this was in China, she was confident that the leaflet would glow in less than an hour.
But now in Berlin, her identity as a Chinese female star is not very effective, and even many people frowned when they saw them handing out leaflets, and they almost reached out to drive people away.
So she was still shocked by the speed at which Chen Fei sent out the flyers!
"If you have this opportunity again, follow me next time, and I'll let you see how powerful I am."
Chen Fei smiled and didn't explain, today he can bring a lot of shock to the people of Berlin, I'm afraid the news will be reported tomorrow.
As expected, as soon as the time arrived in the evening, several domestic portals had already reported the news.
Many reporters have even sent their photos and videos to the mainland for publication on their websites to seize hot spots in a timely manner.
As soon as the video was released, it immediately aroused discussions among domestic netizens.
On the post bar, a group of movie fans and extreme sports enthusiasts have opened posts to build buildings, repost videos, and share them with others.
"It's worthy of being a contracted athlete of Red Bull, real Nima bull!"
"? Can a bicycle still be ridden like this? Isn't this supposed to run on a flat road? How can you still go up the mountain? How? ”
"Good fellows! Here's how! Fine enough! ”
"Did you notice the side of the frame? Looks like a flyer strapped to it? So this is handing out flyers while riding? ”
"Director Chen can always make some jaw-dropping operations......"
Not to mention, although the act of handing out leaflets seems very earthy to many people, the effect is really good!
The direct performance is that the organizers of the film festival even found Chen Fei the next day, saying that they wanted to increase the number of broadcasts for their "The Undertaker".
The reason is very simple, the fan support is too high, and the organizers can't stand it.
Liu Yifei, Ning Hao and others all watched the video, and they were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.
"It's crazy enough, and it's weird if you can't finish the flyers."
On the other side of the hotel, after hearing about Chen Fei's "leaflet distribution behavior" and the film festival organizer's initiative to increase the number of broadcasts, the disdain and disdain on Chen Kaige's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Propaganda... How else can it be? ”
At this moment, a strong sense of frustration and speechlessness permeated his heart.
This feeling of being suppressed repeatedly is really uncomfortable!
But what he didn't know was that everyone in the crew of "The Undertaker", who was idle and bored today, actually went to see "Mei Lanfang", which is currently being screened at the Berlin Film Festival.
"Let's see if there are any uncut clips."
Chen Fei and Ning Hao came to the cinema in a hurry, but what they had in their hearts was the idea of watching "Lust Caution" and "Apple".
"Lao Chen looks very serious, and I don't know if those uncut clips will directly let himself go?"
The two had improper thoughts, but unfortunately, in the end, they were disappointed.
The broadcast version of "Mei Lanfang" in Berlin is exactly the same as the domestic release version, except for Wang Xueqi, who has superb acting skills, there is nothing else to praise in the film.
Zhang Ziyi is still in that "distracted" acting state, and Li Ming's performance is also featureless, which is too bad for Zhang Yurong in "Farewell My Concubine"!
Especially in the second half, the more Chen Fei looked, the more sour his teeth became.
"This horse is completely self-liberating, huh?" This is the second time he has watched the movie, so the feeling of anticlimacy is even stronger.
Walking out of the theater, Ning Hao sighed, "Alas, it's hard to say, how can you deviate from the main line while patting?" ”
"Then you'll have to ask the producer."
"Chen Hong?"
Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and felt more and more speechless.
Who in the circle doesn't know that Chen Hong completely treats Chen Kaige as a "god"? She is a producer, so it's strange that she can control Lao Chen!
"If this movie is made by Han Sanping or Xu Feng as the producer, the effect will definitely not be like this."
Chen Fei said very firmly.
"Xu Feng?" Ning Hao was slightly stunned, "Are you talking about Ms. Xu Feng, the producer of "Farewell My Concubine"?" ”
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded slightly.
Xu Feng is not comparable to Chen Hong, this is not only a well-known investor in the circle, but also the proprietress of Tomson Group, who crushes the latter in all aspects, and can definitely suppress Chen Kaige.
It's a pity that since the "Fengyue", the two have parted ways, and I don't know what kind of inside story broke out in it.
Ning Hao thought about it, he actually admired Brother Chen Kai in his heart, after all, if he could shoot a work like "Farewell My Concubine", Lao Chen would not be much worse than that.
As long as he is given a top producer and a top screenwriter, it should not be difficult to regain his glory.
However, what he didn't know was that Chen Kaige also made a "masterpiece" that can be compared to "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" - "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain"!
Chen Fei made up his mind a long time ago that Wang Baoqiang must not be allowed to participate in this movie.
This horse is a pure bad movie!
~
Time began to accelerate.
In the following time, Chen Fei and Ning Hao all entered the state of watching the film, and they watched all the films shortlisted for the main competition unit.
In fact, in addition to these main competition unit films at the Berlin Film Festival, there will also be some small-budget literary films, and Chen Fei also picked a few of them.
During this period, they also met with many filmmakers and got more or less offers.
If this was in the past, Chen Fei might still be unable to hold his breath, but now he is an old fritter, and several big film merchants have been fished by him.
Anyway, his attitude is the same, when to wait for the closing ceremony to end, when to talk about buying and selling copyrights.
Several filmmakers were very annoyed in their hearts, but they were helpless, so they could only be held by him.
At the same time, Chen Fei also took time to attend the 36th Annie Award ceremony.
As the No. 1 box office in last year's animated feature film and the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, "Kung Fu Panda" received 17 nominations and finally won 10 awards, sweeping all the Annie Award awards for animated films in the film category!
As for Disney's "Lightning Dog", unfortunately, this year it only has one award in the Best Creative category, which belongs to the comfort type of award.
On the other hand, under Natasha's vigorous operation, "Slumdog Millionaire" frequently appeared in major award ceremonies.
Without exception, it was a great success!
Okuhezi's cards are really bullish, and the president of the United States has publicly released long-form movie reviews, how can other award ceremonies disobey his recommendation?
In this way, the time rushed to the day of the closing ceremony.
As the issuer, Ren Zhonglun led the company's negotiation team to Berlin overnight.
The follow-up copyright sharing they can also get a wave, although the proportion of the share is not too high, but it can't stand the large base, this is not an ordinary mosquito leg, it should be called a boutique mosquito leg!
"What to do? Have you contacted the studio? As soon as Ren Zhonglun arrived at the hotel, the focus fell on the copyright fee.
Chen Fei glanced at him and shook his head slightly, "It's not important, the most important thing now is whether we can win the prize, as long as we can win the prize, we can double it on the basis of the current price, but if we can't get the prize, then go home and wash and sleep." ”
For a while, the breathing of everyone in the room became much more disordered.
Ren Zhonglun rarely had the opportunity to participate in such a grand film festival, and after a while, he couldn't sit still, walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, looking very impatient.
He knows that the festival has an unwritten rule, that is, as long as the film can win the award, it will receive an invitation call or text message from the organizer.
Therefore, every few minutes he glanced at Chen Fei and asked, "The call hasn't come yet?" ”
"Mr. Ren, don't be impatient, it's still early."
Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry, Ren Zhonglun kept asking, and he was a little nervous.
"It's half past nine, it's not early......"
He began to ramble again, and the others, perhaps infected by his emotions, became impatient one by one.
However, at this moment, a "jingle bell" sound suddenly resounded in the room.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Chen Fei, but found that his gaze was looking at Ning Hao.
"Yes...... It's the organizer's call! Ning Hao held his mobile phone and was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
"Pick it up!" Ren Zhonglun hurriedly urged him.
"Oh! Oh! Ning Hao responded as he pressed the connect button, and the expression on his face quickly became extremely exciting.
After a while, he hung up the phone, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"It was the chairman of the jury who called, and she asked us to go to the closing ceremony."
"Yay!"
In an instant, cheers resounded through the room.
But at this moment, Ning Hao suddenly added again: "She also specially told me that Chen Fei must be present to participate." ”
"Huh?!"
On the sofa, Chen Fei's expression gradually became suspicious.
……
In the afternoon, everyone dressed up and walked on the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival.
The domestic media has paid very high attention to this year's Berlin Film Festival, after all, this year's three mainland box office directors Chen Fei, Ning Hao, and Chen Kaige, as well as "Mei Lanfang" and "The Undertaker", two excellent film works.
"Look, it's directors Chen Fei and Ning Hao, and it's the crew of "The Undertaker"!"
"Don't say it, Director Chen's appearance is really not covered, and he is also one of the best among the actors in the circle."
"Haha, Director Chen is from Nortel's performance department, and he is in the same class as Liu Yifei."
"Talented and beautiful!"
"If these two can fall in love, I raise my hands and feet to agree!"
"! No one wants to touch my fairy sister. ”
The reporters talked a lot, and seeing Chen Fei and others walking on the red carpet, they hurriedly surrounded them for an interview.
It's just that, as time goes on, they realize that something doesn't seem right?
On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, the main creators of "Mei Lanfang", especially actresses such as Zhang Ziyi and Chen Hong, can be said to be competing for beauty and shine, but why didn't they appear on the red carpet at the closing ceremony?
Some people speculated: "Could it be that the appearance time is relatively late?" ”
However, until the red carpet ceremony was completely over, they still didn't see anyone from Brother Chen Kai and the crew of "Mei Lanfang"!
For a while, many people who knew the inside story had a bold guess in their hearts.
"Wouldn't it? No way! "Mei Lanfang" is scrapped? ”
