"The production of the sequel to the Transformers series cannot be stopped, which is the foundation of the survival of DreamWorks Films, but under this premise, we must expand into new channels and fully extend the influence of DreamWorks......"

In the office, Chen Fei and Spielberg sat opposite each other.

At this time, he was talking eloquently, describing to Lao Si how he unfolded the follow-up work of DreamWorks and the direction of his goals.

Spielberg is not stupid, he summed up a key message from Chen Fei's words.

"Without Transformers, DreamWorks is nothing!"

He doesn't want to admit it, but it's true, and DreamWorks is now too reliant on "Transformers," and the rest of the company's films are tepid.

In Taoist terms, all the fortunes of the sects have converged on "Transformers", and the others have been reduced to mediocrity.

In fact, Spielberg has also made a lot of efforts, for example, now, DreamWorks has started the production of many movies such as "Key No. 4", "Help", and "War Horse".

However, his confidence in the box office of these films is actually not very high, and the main target is still focused on "Transformers".

After all, this movie is so awesome!

"Transformers", which was released in 07, received 319 million US dollars in North America, and the global total box office was as high as 709 million.

Such an excellent work, if you don't launch a sequel, it will be a tyrannical thing!

But because of this, in addition to "Transformers", his attention to other scripts began to decline continuously, so that the DreamWorks film department currently has only such a top work.

On the other hand, Walton Pictures and DreamWorks are at two different extremes!

In addition to those horror thrillers that are small and broad, the follow-up "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Robot Wall-E", "Kung Fu Panda", "Twilight", etc., which is not a masterpiece of resistance?

And all these high-quality works actually come from one person.

- Chen Fei!

All of these original scripts, including the superhero adaptations of Marvel Studios, are all played by him alone as the screenwriter.

And now, with the partnership between Walton Pictures and DreamWorks, he is also DreamWorks' chief content executive at the same time.

"This is a welcome gift from DreamWorks."

Chen Fei took out a script from the drawer under his desk and handed it to Steven Spielberg in front of him.

Gift?

Send a script?

Spielberg was stunned for a moment, but there was not much shock in his heart, because the whole Hollywood already knew the strength of Chen Fei, a "big scriptmaker"!

Taking over the script, Spielberg looked at the English words on the cover and subconsciously said to himself: "How to Train Your Dragon?" ”

He flipped through the script and began to watch it earnestly.

Half an hour later, he looked at Chen Fei with a frown, and his heart was very complicated, "This is an animated movie?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, and directly explained his thoughts, "I think Hollywood should only have one dream factory, instead of being divided into a film department and an animation department, and each serving its own master." ”

"However, the film department I lead is not good at animation." Spielberg pinpointed the most crucial element.

Chen Fei did not respond to him directly, but told about his situation when he first entered Walton Pictures.

"At that time, there were no technical talents in the company at all, whether it was animation or special effects, it was all blind to us, and there was no basis for practice at all.

So, after some discussion with Natasha, I came up with a way to spend a lot of money on finding the right people behind the scenes in Hollywood, which is full of talent, and now, our achievements confirm that this method works. ”

Spielberg was so smart that he instantly understood the meaning of Chen Fei's words.

"You mean, let me go to the headhunter and dig people?"

Chen Fei smiled and said, "DreamWorks Animation, Disney, Paramount, Universal Pictures...... These companies have a lot of high-quality technical talent, and if you can pay them well, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to join your team. ”

"But most people have a non-compete agreement..."

Chen Fei interrupted him directly, "Isn't there still a few people who haven't signed?" And I recommend you to go to major schools to recruit talents, and the technicians you train yourself are more convenient to use, aren't you? ”

Spielberg was silent for a moment, then stood up, put the script on the table into his bag, thanked him, and turned to leave.

He himself belongs to the kind of technical talent, who is extremely talented in directing, but lacks in company operations, otherwise he would not have tossed DreamWorks into the embarrassing situation it is now.

After listening to Chen Fei's "shameless speech" today, he suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment, and he was directly opened up to the second pulse of Ren Du!

This kind of behavior is indeed shameful in the industry, but compared to profits, these are nothing at all.

And the script that Chen Fei gave him is really good, and he himself has high achievements in the field of animated films, so he can naturally see the excellence of this story.

If it can be done, it will definitely get DreamWorks out of the current embarrassing predicament.

When he walked out of the door of Walton Pictures, Spielberg suddenly wanted to shout: "Left hand "Transformers", right hand "How to Train Your Dragon", who else should I be?" ”

……

……

Natasha has already remitted the $350 million that DreamWorks urgently needed to the company's account, which can be regarded as a solution to their urgent need.

Now that there is Chen Fei's script, DreamWorks has also determined what to do next.

Taking some free time, Chen Fei deliberately went to the digital field and industrial light and magic to learn about the learning progress of those technical talents from the mainland.

What makes him very happy is that these people are indeed bright enough to have a bright head, and their understanding is also very high, and their learning progress is fast!

It is estimated that it will not be long before Dianjing Digital can be officially put into operation, and then a few more cattle will be invited back to sit down, and it will be the No.1 special effects company in the mainland!

After leaving from Industrial Light and Magic, Chen Fei paid attention to the recent situation in the mainland.

The casting of several TV series is very smooth, among which the progress of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is the fastest, and it has been determined that Mr. Chen Jianbin will play the role of Yongzheng.

In addition, Jiang Xin has also confirmed the role, she will play the role of "Nian Shilan" in the play, which is considered a four-time role.

As for the two first and third roles of "Zhen Huan" and "Wulanala Yixiu", they have not yet been determined, and there are too many people competing, and it is really difficult to choose.

In comparison, the progress of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Step by Step Shocking" on the other side is much slower.

Su Guohai reported to him on the phone: "The Tang people are in contact with the drama "Step by Step", and they want Liu Shishi to try the female one.

As for "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Yang Mi is currently in contact with the most, her contract with Rong Xinda is about to expire, and she said that as long as she can get this role, she can join the Flying Shadow Emperor Agency in the coming year. ”

Don? Liu Shishi? Yang Mi?

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and inexplicably had the illusion that the timeline was slowly being pulled back on track.

Aren't these two people in the original timeline the heroines of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Step by Step"?

"You can watch the operation yourself, I won't care about these, just uphold the rules of resource replacement and audience-oriented."

"Good!"

Su Guohai responded, and briefly talked about the preparations for the three films "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "Heart Flower Road".

"Heart Flower Road" needs to wait for Chen Fei to come back and cast it in person, so only the logistics and filming locations have been determined.

And "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a film co-produced with Golden Harvest, Huo Qigang's guy is a notoriously chronic son, and the director has just been determined.

Ye Weixin, who has filmed the series "Mong Kok Carmen" and "Ip Man", was brought in to be a strong man.

When he learned that this script was written by Chen Fei, Ye Weixin didn't say a word, and came directly to Golden Harvest to sign the contract, not even caring about how much the director fee was.

The "Ip Man" series directly promoted him to become a hot first-line director among directors in Xiangjiang, and all of this is thanks to Chen Fei.

Now that he has the opportunity to make Chen Fei's movie again, he naturally did not hesitate!

It's just that when Golden Harvest officially announced that he would become the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story", his phone calls never stopped.

The words "screenwriter Chen Fei" alone are enough to prove the excellence of the script!

Even if there is Wang Guxian Zhuyu in front, who doesn't want to challenge the seniors?

If you can surpass the former, you may be able to become an instant hit!

～

During this time, Nortel was on the cusp.

One of the two students who graduated from the school won the Golden Bear and the other won the Oscar for Best Director, which is a thing to celebrate.

There are even banners hanging at the entrance of Nortel School, one is to celebrate Chen Fei and Ning Hao winning the award, and the other is to build momentum for the school and establish the No. 1 status of the three major art colleges.

However, I never thought that a scandal caused Nortel to fall directly into the doubts of countless people.

On the day of the final examination of the 09th undergraduates, the parents of the unsuccessful candidates reported angrily, saying that there were Nortel teachers who opened training classes outside, stating that as long as they paid 300,000 yuan, they could pass the exam and complete the enrollment.

But because the candidate was quite confident in his acting skills, he did not pay, but chose to go head-on!

I never thought that as soon as the final result came out, I would fall off the list!

As a result, the candidate suddenly thought of the term "conspiracy theory", thinking that the training teacher was deliberately retaliating, and immediately chose to report it.

Nortel immediately issued a notice, saying that there was no such thing, and emphasized that the rules of the art examination are absolutely fair and just.

But... For the sake of popularity, some media maliciously hyped up, and Nortel was a little tired of dealing with it for a while.

Seeing this news, Chen Fei suddenly thought of the scene when he applied for Nortel.

Strength, appearance, relationship.

If you want to succeed in Nortel, you must have two of these three.

The reason why Chen Fei was able to pass the four rounds of exams at the beginning relied on his strength and appearance.

As for the network, it's a pity that he was just a country boy from the countryside at that time, and he didn't have any on-campus network at all.

From this point of view, the content of the report may indeed be true!

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Fei, he believes that Nortel will handle it, after all, it is not a good thing for the school to be on the cusp of this kind of storm.

In particular, the two outstanding alumni who have recently graduated have achieved very good results in the world, and if the alma mater is rumored to be scandalous, it will be laughed at by other institutions!

At the same time, in addition to the scandal of Nortel, Chen Fei also saw netizens' boycott declaration of SBS TV on Tieba.

"Banning South Korean film and television works from entering the mainland? Completely disconnect all cooperation with SBS TV? ”

Seeing the demands put forward by netizens, Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly became exciting.

Boy!

This is a big misunderstanding!

If the Film Bureau really does this, it will become a big flood that washes the Dragon King Temple, and his own family will beat his own family!

Chen Fei hurriedly called Natasha and asked her to immediately issue an acquisition statement to solve the misunderstanding first.

Everyone is in a group, don't make too much of it, he still thinks about letting Feiyue Film and SBS link up in the future and go out to earn money from that group of South Korean sticks.

If this is cut in two, a lot of work will not be able to be carried out later.

Natasha moved quickly, and issued a statement that afternoon, saying that SBS has been successfully acquired, and the other party, just like Marvel, has also become a subsidiary of Walton Pictures.

The news quickly spread.

This news did not cause much of a sensation on the Hollywood side, after all, each of the seven has publicity channels all over the world, and there are countless subsidiaries.

On the other hand, Walton Pictures has only opened branches in India and South Korea, and there is nothing to attract attention at all, at best, it is just a very sparse and ordinary thing.

But when the news spread in South Korea and China, it immediately caused an uproar!

"Volton Pictures?"

Chen Fei's name came to mind almost immediately at the top of Xijie and ShowBox, after all, the big man with countless high-quality scripts in his hands was the chief content executive of Walton Pictures.

And now that SBS has suddenly become a branch of Walton Pictures, doesn't this mean that Chen Fei will also become the chief content executive of SBS?

"Assi, our cooperation with Director Chen won't end here, right?"

"Send someone to find out Director Chen's movements, if he returns to China or South Korea, he must visit him as soon as possible!"

The senior executives of the two companies inexplicably became nervous, for fear that Chen Fei would directly abandon them.

But on the other hand, Huaxia is a different scene.

When the news of Walton Pictures' acquisition of SBS was exposed, it instantly occupied the front pages of major media!

Inside the post bar, countless bar friends were full of shock, and their jaws were about to hit the ground.

The name "Volton Pictures" is thunderous for today's Chinese fans, and the reason is very simple, just because Chen Fei is the chief content executive of this company!

With Chen Fei as the middleman, listening to the name of this independent film company, everyone only felt extremely cordial.

And now the CEO of Walton Pictures has suddenly announced that he has completed all the acquisitions of SBS, and what this means is self-evident!

Netizens soon had a heated discussion.

"? I said how could this group of sticks suddenly apologize, it turned out that the company was acquired! ”

"Damn, it's still Director Chen, now it's finally explained, it turns out that all this is Director Chen operating in secret!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, alas, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and my family didn't know my family."

"Hahaha, make money on sticks? This can be there! ”

"I seem to have seen the picture of this group of sticks worshipping our Director Chen as a god!"

～

In the crew of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", Zhang Yimou is also paying attention to this news.

When he saw the news that Volton Pictures had acquired SBS, he suddenly thought of what Chen Fei said during the rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games last year.

This kid said at the time that he must make those sticks in South Korea apologize, and even pay the due price!

Zhang Yimou was still a little unimpressed at the time, after all, the two countries are thousands of miles apart, and the media there is notoriously thick-skinned, how could he apologize publicly?

But now, the impossible has suddenly become a reality!

And if all this is not Chen Fei's instructions, it is absolutely impossible!

"This kid seems to have a very heavy voice in Walton Pictures?" Zhang Yimou muttered to himself, a bold guess suddenly popped up in his heart, and he quickly succeeded in justifying himself.

"If he's one of the shareholders of Walton Pictures, or simply the boss behind the scenes, then it all seems to make sense!"

Zhang Yimou thought secretly in his heart, and a deep shock suddenly appeared on his face!

How difficult is it for a Chinese director to gain a foothold in Hollywood? Not to mention that he is just a young man who has just turned 25 years old!

"This son will be a great thing!"

Zhang Yimou quickly made the most pertinent judgment.

At this time, Chen Fei, who was in Los Angeles, checked the trend of public opinion on the Internet, and after making sure that all favorable factors had come to his side, he didn't pay much attention to it.

This matter ends here, everyone who understands it, after the name "Walton Pictures" appeared, everything became logical.

Chen Fei had been trying his best to conceal that he was a shareholder of Walton Pictures, after all, he was a Chinese, and it was really difficult for him to take root in this particularly discriminatory place!

But as his fame grows, his hole cards get thicker and thicker, and he gets more and more honors, there is no need to continue to hide this kind of thing.

With Okuroko as his backer, he can go sideways in Hollywood in the past few years, not to mention that he is still a very powerful director, screenwriter and actor.

By this time, most of the others had lost their discrimination and vigilance against him, and were more willing to cooperate.

For example, Universal Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Lionsgate and other film companies have thrown olive branches to him many times.

And this is the confidence that he can get along in Hollywood!
