374. Don't try to get me on anyone who steps on a horse tonight! Officially certified masterpiece? (Ask for a commuter pass)
The broadcast of the movie gradually entered the second half, and many professionals on the scene had their own judgments and thoughts.
When he saw all kinds of street blasting and urban folding scenes, Wu Yu finally understood the gap between himself and Chen Fei, he was like the front wave slapped on the beach by the back waves, and he didn't have any thoughts of resisting at all!
"This 3D effect is really strong!"
He muttered, feeling quite lost, because Mao himself never thought of making this type of movie when he was in Hollywood?
Is it too late to make a move?
In fact, he has always had the idea of continuing to make war blockbusters in his heart, and after the end of the "Red Cliff" series, he has even begun to prepare a new script.
It's just that the creation of this script is really difficult, and in order to earn enough pre-production expenses, he had to participate in the production of "Rain of Swords".
Although there is still a long way to go in the filming of a new movie, he will never stop, he wants to prove his strength as a "top international director"!
On the other hand, Li Press, who was sitting not far from him, also watched it with relish, he personally felt that this movie was very good, and it also stimulated his impulse to shoot a 3D movie.
"3D may become a new trend in the film market in the future!"
On the other hand, Quentin, who was sitting in the front row, silently took off his 3D glasses and began to enter a state of closing his eyes and recuperating.
He was really dizzy when he watched this movie, although the plot was very good, but he was dizzy in 3D!
The film soon came to an end, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, the last tremor finally arrived.
Mr. Zhuang's true purpose began to be revealed, and the girl in his dream also appeared......
Zun Long, who was sitting in the audience, looked at the picture in the film and his face when he was young, and his mind couldn't help but fall into reminiscence.
This movie seems to have brought him back to life, and it can be regarded as making up for some regrets in his life.
In the end, when the crisp 3D special effects scenes and chaotic dream scenes began to rage wildly, the exclamations of the movie scene suddenly entered a state of ups and downs, and some people were even so excited that they jumped on chairs!
"! This picture! It's so cool! ”
Wang Sylon shouted frantically, excited and couldn't help himself.
He's seen so many sci-fi commercial blockbusters, but it's the first time he's seen such a mature and stunning picture, and the picture presented on this IMAX3d screen is simply cool!
Ye Ning, who was on the side, also clenched her fists, and there were faint beads of sweat on her forehead.
At this moment, the scene when "Inception" landed in domestic theaters inexplicably appeared in his mind, and he couldn't imagine how crazy fans would be when they saw this movie!
The spinning top spins on the table, and the movie is officially over.
The theater owners who came from the mainland regretted it inexplicably at this moment, knowing that the effect of this film was so good, they should have made a few more IMAX big screens.
But it's a little late now, because except for Golden Harvest, Wanda, China Film, and Shangying, there are almost no spare theaters in other theaters to install IMAX equipment!
Soon, as the subtitles appeared, the lights in the theater were lit up at the same time.
At this moment, everyone at the scene recovered from the shock of Fang Cai, and the thunderous applause instantly resounded throughout the audience and lasted for a long time.
Wu Yu really couldn't get used to this kind of scene that made him very jealous, so he got up and quietly withdrew.
Chen Fei led a group of main creators to the stage to thank them, and at the same time answered some people's doubts and explained to them some obscure plots in the movie.
There are also many filmmakers at the scene today, and at this moment, they are almost thinking, how much money do they have to spend to buy the copyright of this movie?
At the same time, there are also many people whispering, predicting the box office performance of this movie after its release.
"Do you think you can break a billion dollars?"
"I'm hanging!"
"I think it's possible, let's wait and see......"
So far, only three films in the world have exceeded a billion dollars, which is obviously a very difficult hurdle to overcome.
But in the eyes of many, this movie has great promise!
The story and special effects are refreshing, and the original script, coupled with the popularity of the actors and directors, will definitely attract a large number of fans to support!
"Director Chen Fei, I would like to ask, for an excellent commercial film, should we focus more on special effects or story?"
This was a very professional question, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and many people pricked up their ears.
Especially top directors like Quentin and Li Press, they all have their own perceptions, but they are also very willing to listen to other people's perceptions.
Chen Fei subconsciously looked in the direction where the question sounded, and when he looked at it, he realized that he was still an acquaintance!
Bong Joon-ho, the South Korean director who filmed "Monster of the Han River".
The other party has always been known as the "pioneer of Asian special effects films", so it is natural to be curious about this issue.
After thinking about it, Chen Fei replied: "In fact, I have always felt that the pinnacle of the film industry lies in visual effects, but if a film wants to be remembered in film history, then its story is also crucial.
Therefore, special effects and story have always been the elements I have been pursuing together, and there is no difference between the two, which should be regarded as a kind of crystallization after complementing each other. ”
Bong Joon-ho nodded slightly, "Thank you for your answer!" ”
There was thunderous applause again, after all, from the perspective of a fan, who the wouldn't want to see a movie that combines special effects and story?
At this time, in the front row on the right, a filmmaker from Fox couldn't help but fall into deep thought after listening to Chen Fei's words just now.
At present, the "Avatar" invested and produced by their company is definitely much stronger than "Inception" in terms of visual effects, after all, the latter still has some 2D scenes, and the former is completely pure 3D pictures!
But on the other hand, although he doesn't quite want to admit it, in terms of storytelling, "Avatar" is indeed not as fulfilling as "Inception".
"What a rival!"
The filmmaker muttered in his heart, and was ready to go out and make a phone call.
He has to remind the company that he must pay attention to this "Inception", otherwise it is likely to cause the consequences of overturning halfway!

And after Chen Fei walked down from the stage, he was immediately watched by everyone in China.
Fan Bingbin, Shu Qi, Zhang Ziyi, Tan Zhuo, Chen Sicheng, Qin Hao, Zhang Songwen and others came over one after another, talking in his ear one by one.
"Director Chen, this film is so handsome, I am thrilled to watch it, but there are many places in it that I don't understand very well, can I go to your room at night to talk about the plot?"
"Director Chen, when will we be able to make this kind of movie in China?"
"Director Chen, when are you going to leave, do you want to have a meal together?"
“……”
Chen Fei smiled and picked a few questions and replied simply.
"I'll leave tonight.,If it's domestic, it depends on the situation.,Next time,I'll have a treat next time I have a chance.,The movie is estimated to be released after July.,I'll send a notice then......"
After dealing with everyone, Chen Fei went to the organizers of the film festival again and said hello to them.
"Inception" will not participate in the awards, so the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him, he has to go back to Los Angeles to do other work.
But the president of the jury, Isabel, was obviously very interested in him, and invited him in every possible way, wanting him to stay a few more days and visit the sights and monuments of France.
Chen Fei simply refused her invitation, he had already made up his mind to quit drinking and sex, at least let the dark circles on his eye sockets go down first.
"You can't refuse tonight's opening ceremony, right?" The old sister held his wrist and held him in a posture that if you don't agree, I won't let you go.
"I'm on the plane at 11:30 tonight, and the ticket has been bought." Chen Fei pretended to be very embarrassed.
He's not a rookie, and he has to wait at least one or two o'clock in the middle of the night after the banquet here in France, so he doesn't have time to toss until that late.
"You can leave at ten o'clock, and I will arrange for the driver to send you."
"Okay." Chen Fei finally had no reason to continue to prevaricate.
~
The old sister's reputation is still very good, saying that it was ten o'clock, but she didn't even leave him until ten o'clock, and properly arranged a special car driver for him.
Chen Fei and Xiao Lizi withdrew first after they greeted each other, and except for him, everyone else was ready to take this opportunity to play here for a few more days, so they didn't leave with him.
After getting into the car, Chen Fei loosened his tie and casually took it into the two pockets of his pants.
Soon, more than a dozen rather delicate room cards appeared in his hands.
"Made? Stuffed with so many key cards? Am I really a master of time management? I'm going to quit drinking lately! Do you know what it means to quit drinking? That's a big task! ”
When he arrived at the airport, Chen Fei casually threw the room card into the trash, without any nostalgia.
Whoever steps on the horse tonight won't want to get the labor and management in his hands!
~
Chen Fei waved his sleeves, leaving no clouds, and flew directly to Los Angeles overnight.
But the news about the premiere of "Inception" spread throughout the film and television industry the next day.
Especially in the mainland, when the reporter of the Six Princesses published her viewing experience, it directly ignited the attention and curiosity of many netizens and insiders!
"Inception is a very clever film, rich in detail, intricate narrative that takes the viewer into a subconscious labyrinth, and Director Chen creates a surreal thriller world, somewhat similar to Jungian theory, which challenges the viewer on multiple levels, real and unreal.
The style of fast editing and agile storytelling expresses the surreal world heartily, and at the same time, it also achieves the pinnacle of virtual image technology to present the consciousness of the human brain!
The anti-physics discussions, the great action sequences, the impactful emotions, and Leonardo's astonishing performance are all addictive.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a completely new field of Chen Fei's films, and even in my opinion, this can be called a top masterpiece that has established his status as a top director in the global film industry! ”
Because of the signing of the non-disclosure agreement, there is no mention of anything about the plot side of the movie in the article, but even this caused a huge sensation!
In particular, the word "masterpiece" at the end of the article has aroused a strong shock in the Chinese director circle.
This horse riding is an article released by the six princesses, which means that the official has a great affirmation of Chen Fei!
You must know that even Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others have not enjoyed this title!
For a while, countless reporters flew to Cannes, all wanting to conduct an exclusive interview with Chen Fei.
Unfortunately, when they arrived in Cannes, they found that Chen Fei had left overnight.
But the reporters certainly didn't give up and immediately shifted their attention and began interviewing others who had attended the premiere of "Inception."
Of course, Wu Yu would not help build momentum for the people he hated, so in the face of the reporter's request for an interview, he directly refused on the grounds that he wanted to meet the film company.
However, Lou Ye, Li Ji and others happily accepted the interview.
"I personally think that with Chen Fei's current creative level and directing ability, he can be compared with top Hollywood commercial film directors such as Spielberg, Nolan, and Cameron."
Facing the reporter's camera, Li expressed his opinion with all his vig.
As soon as this interview was released, it once again sparked a violent uproar, and netizens and fans in the post bar discussed it enthusiastically.
"Accreditation from the last Academy Award for Best Director!"
"My Director Chen is really awesome, I'm only 25 years old, and the director's level has reached a state that can be compared with Spielberg, so I can take off on the spot properly!"
", Director Chen has exploded!"
“……”
Wu Yu looked at the online reports in the hotel room, and his eyes were red with envy.
He is 63 years old this year, and most of his body is about to be buried in the ground, but he has not yet received such high glory and praise!
"Hmph, what's the big deal? It's so high, don't cry when you fall. ”
He still firmly believed in his heart that Chen Fei was just a momentary luck, or he would be exhausted in a few years.
Of course, the exact amount of these years is up for debate.
~
The messy news on the Internet did not affect Chen Fei, but a few phone calls from China made him a little helpless, especially Jiang Wen's old boy, who babbled that he wanted to watch the film.
"Can't you even wait two months?"
"I'm so curious about the horse, I just want to know, what kind of movie can be called a "masterpiece"? ”
"And you're coming to Los Angeles?"
"I don't have time! Why don't you tell me about the plot? Let me cool off in advance? ”
What kind of tiger and wolf words are these!
Chen Fei cursed in his heart, and was just about to pick up the phone directly, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind!
The corners of his mouth sketched a wicked smile, and he deliberately said evilly: "I actually have a way to make you feel good in advance." ”
"What's the solution?" Jiang Wen immediately became excited.
"You go to the Yunnan-Guichuan area to get some hands-on greens back, and then make it half-baked, and after eating it, you can almost experience the feeling similar to watching "Inception"."
"Really?" Jiang Wen was obviously a little unconvinced.
"Anyway, I've already given you a way, if you believe it, try it, if you don't believe it, forget it."
After that, Chen Fei was ready to hang up the phone.
But in the end, he deliberately advised, "Remember to eat less, you may be poisoned if you eat too much!" ”
"Oh! Oh! ”
Jiang Wen nodded, glanced at the phone that had been hung up, and was inexplicably a little moved, "Seeing that Hand Qing still has this effect?" Isn't that quite unusual? ”
~
After flickering Jiang Wen, Chen Fei entered the working state again.
There are only a few hours left before the release of "Twilight 3", and he is currently following the main creative team to promote.
Walton Pictures' film projects in the first half of the year were mainly focused on "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Twilight 3", and the box office results of these two films directly determined the company's revenue in the first half of the year.
Now that the former is a foregone conclusion, we now have to focus on the box office performance of the latter.
On the 15th, Chen Fei called Li Yang and Wu Jing, who were busy in the animation studio, "Let's go, I'll invite you two to watch a movie." ”
Since these two guys came to Hollywood at the beginning of the year, they have hardly left the production team of "Kung Fu Panda 2" in the follow-up, and thanks to the fact that they don't have a girlfriend, otherwise they will definitely have to blow it!
There are a lot of female fans who pay attention to the series "Twilight", and Chen Fei also has the purpose of letting them meet the beautiful girls of the United States, maybe they can promote a beautiful marriage!
In this way, the three big men came to the cinema together, and even bought popcorn and Coke on purpose.
Li Yang, this kid, stood up, and as soon as he sat down, he chatted with a white girl sitting next to him, but Wu Jing kept holding a mobile phone, and from time to time there was a disgusting smirk on his face!
"You kid can't be in love, right?" Chen Fei leaned over and teased him.
didn't think about it, Wu Jing really didn't deny it, and even nodded a little shyly.
"In the circle?" Chen Fei was a little curious.
"yes, that's right."
"What for?"
"She is the host, and we met when we promoted "Mulan" before."
“……”
Chen Fei seems to have guessed who it is!
He couldn't help but sigh a little, this butterfly effect is really terrifying!
The movie officially opened, but Chen Fei didn't have the heart to pay attention to the pictures on the big screen, he had watched it at least more than ten times, and he was no longer interested in the content of the movie.
And what made him ponder was the four words "butterfly effect" that suddenly appeared in his mind just now.
Even with him, the world is still moving forward according to the original timeline, so in this case, Warner Bros. will definitely divide the movie "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" into two parts: "up" and "down".
"Forget it, let's divide "Dawn" into two parts, it's a big deal to make the content more refined, and the special effects or something clicked up, anyway, it's to make money from Lao Mei, and if you don't make money, you won't make ...... for nothing."
Time came to the next day in a blink of an eye, and under the attention of many people, the box office of "Twilight: Lunar Eclipse" was newly released on the first day.
$75.5 million!
When Natasha, who was far away in Cannes, heard this data, she immediately said that she would fly back immediately.
Just the box office results on the first day of release have flattened the production costs invested in the early stage, and if you operate it quietly, the total global box office may be able to rush to 800 million US dollars!
If it's really successful, then it's going to make a lot of money!
