364, Jiang Wenda's flickering, Baoqiang's acting school, and Director Gu's flowers, Jingchu is not simple (asking for a monthly ticket)
A reporter from the movie channel came to New York and conducted an exclusive interview with Chen Fei.
At first, he thought it was an ordinary interview, but as the questions of the interview deepened and the theme revolved around his contributions and achievements to the domestic film industry, he had a vague conjecture in his mind.
And what happened next was just as he had predicted!
In addition to the movie channel, major domestic official media have reprinted the content of this interview, which once pushed his fame to the top!
Jiang Wen called and told him some inside information, "According to the information I received, the Central Propaganda Department seems to want to make you a "spokesperson for China" and use your name to carry out propaganda. β
Chen Fei laughed, "I don't know if there is an advertising fee?" β
"......" Jiang Wen was speechless for a while, "You just have fun, this kind of image and status improvement can't be exchanged for money, and you still want advertising money?" You also don't have to worry about people beating you. β
The two talked to each other on the phone, and finally inevitably talked about the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".
"In addition to Ge Wei, I also decided on another role, I chose Chow Yunfa to play the role of "Huang Shilang", and the heroine chose Liu Jialing, this is the person your sister-in-law recommended to me, I feel quite suitable. β
Chow Yun-fat?
Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and was suddenly surprised, "Hey? Why did you bring him here? I heard that this person's salary is not cheap, right? β
Han Sanping said at the time of filming "Red Cliff" that Chow Yun-fa was actually scheduled to play the leading role, but the salary was too high to be hired at all, so Liang Chaowei was finally chosen.
"Hey, hey." Jiang Wen suddenly laughed evilly, "I wrote him a letter, tried my best to persuade him, and borrowed your name, saying that Ling especially wanted to play with him, but the investment in the film was not enough."
As soon as Chow Yun-fat heard your name, he immediately promised that he was willing to reduce his salary, and Ge Wei even said that he could star with zero pay, so he 'fooled' both of them in this way. β
"Hey? You're a talent! β
Chen Fei couldn't laugh or cry, this guy's brain circuit is really different from that of normal people, writing Chinese letters to fool people, who can think of this operation as an ordinary director?
His own strength is quite strong, and with Chen Fei's name, it is quite reasonable to fool Ge Wei and Chow Yun-fat to reduce their salaries.
After a few more conversations, the two cut off the call.
The start time of "Let the Bullets Fly" is still far away, and Jiang Wen doesn't know what he is preparing, and the progress is slow.
During the busy period, Han Sanping sent an email informing Chen Fei that "Slumdog Millionaire" will be set for mid-March, and the China Film Club will be responsible for the publicity and distribution work.
But before that, directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, starring Wang Baoqiang and Tong Liya, "Hello! Mr. Tree! was the first to meet with the domestic audience.
This movie is promoted and distributed by Shangying, and the main focus is "Wang Baoqiang's transformation".
Many fans are still quite curious about this movie, after all, Bao Qiang's previous film and television dramas such as "No Thieves in the World", "People in Embarrassment", "Thai Embarrassment", "Soldier Assault", "My Brother is Shunyu" and other film and television dramas have accumulated a lot of popularity for him.
The fan effect is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can ride the dust and kill the whole game, but if you use it poorly, it is very likely to hurt yourself!
And Wang Baoqiang's honesty and simplicity and other personal charms have made many fans willing to enter the theater for him and choose to watch his "transformation work".
Gao Weiguang and Mark of the 08th Chinese Opera had just picked up the movie tickets at this time and walked into the theater together.
βγHelloοΌ Mr. Tree! "What's a strange name, isn't it? β
Gao Weiguang muttered in his mouth, recalling the promotional video he had seen before, and had a bold guess in his heart.
But because he hadn't watched the feature film yet, he couldn't confirm whether his inner conjecture was correct for a while.
Different from his psychological state at this time, Mark, who was sitting next to him, focused all his attention on the theater itself.
"Is this the IMAX giant screen that major theaters have recently promoted? That's a big screen! Watching special effects blockbusters must be cool? β
Gao Weiguang's attention was quickly attracted by his words, and he immediately echoed: "Didn't you go to see the premiere of "Transformers 2" held on January 24? The special effects, combined with the IMAX theater, are so cool that they explode! β
Mark showed a little expectation in his eyes, "I'm still looking forward to the "Inception" directed by Chen Fei, which is known as a masterpiece in the new 3D, and I feel exciting when I think about it!" β
The two of them chatted word by word, but their eyes were focused on the big screen.
When they saw the names of director Tian Xiangzhuang, starring Wang Baoqiang, and screenwriter Chen Fei on the screen, the two unconsciously felt deep emotion in their hearts.
"This lineup is simply explosive!"
The feature film soon began to play.
"Shu", a young man from Wangdu Village, works as a car repairer in the third uncle's car repair shop, and the people in the village call him "Brother Shu".
The story begins to progress, "Tree" was hospitalized due to an eye injury and was fired by the third uncle, the village chief's brother-in-law Erzhu occupied the land to open a mining factory, and "Tree" went to ask for an explanation when he got married, but was humiliated in every way......
There was still a lot of noisy discussion in the theater, but as the story unfolded, it suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
"It's... Wang Baoqiang acted? β
Looking at the various behaviors of the "tree" on the screen, Mark suddenly felt like he was shattered!
He still knows about Wang Baoqiang's personal information, this is a grassroots-born actor who has never attended any art school.
Compared with Mark's personal resume, Wang Baoqiang is simply an ordinary group performer in the dust!
In 1999, Mark was accidentally favored by the director and began to show his face in front of the camera of MTV's "Don't Wake Up Tonight", in 2000, he played the young emperor Puyi in the annual drama "Sun Yat-sen", and first entered the film and television industry, in 2005, he played the role of Xiaoxue's fake boyfriend Wild Boy in the family comedy "Family with Children", and starred in the romantic drama "Women Don't Cry" the following year, and officially signed a contract with Huayi Brothers in May of the same year.
Before entering Chinese opera, he was already a very professional actor, and he could even be regarded as a representative of the debut of a child star.
Years of acting career have given him good acting skills, and he is the leader of his class in Chinese opera, and his academic performance is exceptionally good.
But after watching Wang Baoqiang's acting skills today, he suddenly felt that everything he had learned over the years should be thrown aside!
Especially the part where Wang Baoqiang smokes in the play, from the perspective of performance, this is simply a god-like way of acting!
"It's... What kind of acting is this horse pedaling? β
Gao Weiguang on the side was also stunned at this time, except for the clip of "Tree" smoking, all other details in the film show Wang Baoqiang's superb acting skills.
And as the story gradually moved to the end, combined with the promotional clips released earlier, he finally confirmed his guess.
The character of "Mr. Tree" is like a marginal character everywhere in the village, half-crazy, always talking nonsense, and most of his family, work, love, and dignity are not satisfactory.
Maybe he feels good about himself, but it can be seen from the fact that Erzhu doesn't give him face, everyone is actually just making fun of him.
At the same time, the application of red, yellow and blue colors in the film is also creepy.
There are two paragraphs that impressed Gao Weiguang, one is the question of red, yellow and blue balls on the school blackboard, and the other is the tree telling the two pigs, the blue, red money, and blue lights outside the window all make people have infinite reverie!
But what puzzled Gao Weiguang and Mark was that after watching the film, the two of them couldn't clearly grasp the core, they felt that this movie was about the oppression of society that made the low-level characters crazy, and they felt that it was an expression of people's spiritual world.
The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and for a while they had the idea of looking at it again!
"I'm going to buy a ticket?" Mark said.
"Good!" Gao Weiguang nodded and agreed: "I'll go buy food and drink." β
In this way, the two of them just walked out of the theater, and walked in again after a while.
The frequency of repeated viewing of movies like the two is not low, and many people always feel as if they have missed something after watching it for the first time, and then they buy tickets again and return to the theater.
Douban's score of 8.7 confirms the excellence of this work.
China Film soon announced "Hello! Mr. Tree! first-day box office data.
11.05 million RMB!
This number is indeed a lot less than the previous movies starring Wang Baoqiang, but after all, the theme is special, and the cost gap is also very different, so this box office result is actually not bad.
A literary film, in fact, the most important thing is word-of-mouth.
And the online talk about "Hello! Mr. Tree! The reputation of "is simply not good!
Chen Fei opened websites such as Tieba and Douban respectively, and deliberately paid attention to the real evaluation of netizens about this movie.
"That street and alley, that field, especially like the environment I lived in when I was a teenager, people are actually spreading coldness in their seemingly enthusiasm, and sometimes the people who hurt you are often the closest people."
"Brother Shu's untimely existence, like his always untimely arm, looks quite awkward, but it can actually adapt to it when it is pleasing to the eye, just as he suddenly changed from a "fool" to a "fairy", the absurdity reveals the naked reality, this is the sincerity of "Mr. Tree"! β
"Although the tree is in the treetops, it is still rooted in the earth, maybe this is what the screenwriter really wants to convey."
ββ¦β¦β
The phone call came suddenly.
Because of the time difference, it was late at night the day after the movie was released, but his mood was not shrouded in darkness, but burst out with extreme light!
Chen Fei, "Hello! Mr. Tree! The film was a success! β
This is the first sentence that Tian Zhuangzhuang said, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, the data after the release far exceeded his expectations.
A work with a total investment of almost 6 million yuan got a box office of more than 10 million on the first day of release, and the online reputation continues to rise, this wave can definitely make a lot of money!
"Let's go to the film festival and come back with a nice trophy."
"Haha, I think so too, I'm going to participate in this year's Modu International Film Festival, if I can win the award, the copyright fee will also be a lot of income."
The copyright fee is the bulk of the income of a literary film, which is recognized in the film industry.
Tian Xiangzhuang's idea is very correct, he can win awards and sell copyrights, so why not?
"Okay, if I have time at that time, I'll go with you."
In addition to Hello! Mr. Tree! In addition, Huang Bo also said before that he wanted to take "Bullfighting" to participate in the Magic Capital International Film Festival, Chen Fei is the screenwriter of these two films, so he can naturally participate in it.
After ending the call with Tian Zhuangzhuang, he continued to brush up the major portals.
Soon, his attention was drawn to a piece of news.
After a cursory glance at the contents, his eyes widened sharply and his face was full of surprise, "Good fellow? These two people are really disconnected, why are they sticky together? β
The Internet is now full of high-definition photos of the two, and Gu Changwei also came out to explain a few words, but Zhang Jingchu didn't have the slightest look to explain.
When the reporters went to look for her, they found that people didn't seem to care about these at all, and they would be busy filming the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake".
"Broken jars? Or do you deliberately want to be airborne? β
Chen Fei analyzed for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason, but he admired this woman a lot, and she could still receive Feng Xiaogang's play under the ban of so many directors' wives, this method is not comparable to ordinary actresses.
And more importantly, this woman's appetite is much more than that!
When Chen Fei looked through his email and text messages a few days ago, he found that Zhang Jingchu actually expressed his interest in the movie "Heart Flower Road", and also wanted to audition for the female number one in it, and expressed his attitude of letting him open the conditions.
It can be seen that she really didn't take Jiang Wenli and others seriously!
"This woman is really brave!"
He silently praised Zhang Jingchu's mentality, a beautiful actress who is willing to selflessly dedicate herself, if she wants to climb up, it is really not easy to suppress.
γHelloοΌ Mr. Tree! The box office exceeded 50 million yuan in the first week, and Wang Baoqiang became popular again, and even his girlfriend Tong Liya also became popular.
As the face of the play, when doing publicity, Tong Liya is indeed eye-catching.
At the same time, China Film also officially launched the promotion of "Slumdog Millionaire" in China, as Chen Fei's Oscar masterpiece, many people expressed a strong willingness to watch the movie.
On the foreign side, Chen Fei's influence has reached an unparalleled level, the prices of various talk shows are higher than the other, and the media who want to interview him are endless.
Taking advantage of this hot opportunity, Natasha informed the public relations department to announce the next film plan written by Chen Fei.
"Super Body"
Director: Catherine Bigkun.
Screenwriter: FeiChen
Starring: Chinese actress Liu Yifei, Hollywood super supporting actor Morgan Freeman, famous villain cosplayer Gary Oldman!
Investment: $40 million!
As soon as the news came out, Hollywood's major film and television companies instantly raised their vigilance.
Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman are both Hollywood golden supporting actors, the former participated in "The Shawshank Redemption" and the latter participated in "This Killer is Not Too Cold" both enjoy a high reputation in film history.
As for Liu Yifei, due to the popularity of movies such as "Source Code", "Mulan", and "The Undertaker" in Hollywood, plus the reason why she won the Saturn Award for Best Actress, she has already had a high reputation in Hollywood.
The appearance of this movie for major film companies means that another fierce rival has begun to rise!
On the domestic side, the emergence of "Super Body" directly detonated the major portals and the entire entertainment industry, and even crushed the pride of many first-line actresses in the circle!
Nowadays, many first-line female stars in the circle are still striving to partner with Zhang Ziyi to shoot "The Secret Fan in the Snow", for them, this is already a top resource that they can access.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei invested $40 million in the Hollywood blockbuster "Super Body" as soon as she made a move, and even matched him with Hollywood golden supporting roles like Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman!
People can be more angry than people!
Jing Tian looked at the news on the Internet, and then glanced at the crew she was currently working in, and immediately felt that this "The Biography of Sun Tzu" was not fragrant.
She secretly swore in her heart, "Whether it is "A Chinese Ghost Story" or "Heart Flower Road", I must get the role of a heroine!" β
On the other hand, Yang Mi, who had just signed a contract with Feiyue Film and Television, was also envious when she watched the news at this time.
is also an actress, why Liu Yifei can star in a Hollywood blockbuster, but she has put in a lot of effort, and in the end she only got the opportunity to play the heroine of "Palace Lock Heart Jade".
What makes sense of this?
On the other side, Jiang Yiyan, who was also born in Nortel's 02-level performance department, looked at the news, and her eyes showed undisguised jealousy!
Everyone is obviously from an acting class, why can you develop so well?
In the final analysis, isn't it because of falling in love with Chen Fei?
If it weren't for Chen Fei, how could you have achieved what you are today?
Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart could no longer be hidden, and there happened to be a reporter interview with the literary film "Precious Secret" starring her in the afternoon, and she suddenly decided to reveal more to the reporters the inside story of school!
"Since you don't take care of me, an old classmate, then don't blame me for holding you back!"
Jiang Yiyan sneered, and bad ideas kept popping up.
On the contrary, Zhang Jingchu showed a different state, and as soon as she saw the news, she sent a text message and an email to Chen Fei at the same time, asking if there was a suitable supporting role for her?
She now wants to be on Chen Fei's thick thighs, let alone a supporting role, even if she is asked to make a third-level film, as long as Chen Fei is the director, she will definitely excuse herself without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation.
However, her text messages and emails were once again lost.
Because Chen Fei didn't have time to pay attention to these at all, he took advantage of his free time to go to watch the post-production of "Inception", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", "Iron Man 2", "Captain America", "Thor", "Twilight 3" and "Bomb Disposal Unit".
Later, he went to the filming locations of "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Game of Thrones", and "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" to visit the filming locations and specially learn about the filming progress.
Finally, he also cooperated with Wen Ziren and Universal Pictures to participate in several promotional activities for "Fast and Furious 4".
The itinerary is full, how can I have time to pay attention to Zhang Jingchu's flattery?
What's more, there is no shortage of women around him, so why do you want to cause this kind of trouble for Mao?
Zhang Jingchu does have a bit of a look, but can she compare with Li Zhien, Lin Yuer, Natalie Dormer, Amanda Seyfried, Deepika Padukoni, Blake Lively, and others?
Chen Fei didn't have the idea of breaking his shoes.
What's more, he is now planning to prepare a new movie, how can he have time to pay attention to an impure actress.
A woman is just a spice in life, and career is the backbone of a man!
