After giving himself two days of leisurely vacation, Chen Fei drove to the crew of "The Hunger Games" to prepare for the construction of the sound studio.

Set designer Philippe Messina led his team and waited early in the studio.

If it can be successfully approved, then he can go and buy the villa he likes, because this business can bring him a huge fortune!

After parking the car and walking into the studio, Chen Fei saw Philip Messina at a glance, as well as Wen Ziren and Ning Hao standing next to him.

"Fei, you're here." Wen Ziren raised his hand and said hello.

Philippe Messina walked up to him, gave him a hug with a smile on his face, and exchanged a few more pleasantries.

"Let's go? Show me the results of your efforts? ”

“Ok！ Lets go！ ”

Philip walked at the front, leading Chen Fei around the outside of the studio while introducing him to the scene in front of him.

The first thing that caught Chen Fei's eye was the depressed and dilapidated 12th district.

The desolate and monotonous buildings and low-saturation colors make the "poor" character of the 12th arrondissement unmistakable, and the heroine "Kaennis" came out of such a place.

Unlike the 12th arrondissement, which is gloomy in color, the metropolis is full of colors, new and neat tall buildings, high-tech displays suspended in the air, and bustling and crowded streets.

The Hunger Games' arena is the main location of the story, designed as a beautiful jungle, but in a seemingly calm natural environment, it also alludes to the cruel rules of "survival of the fittest"!

After spending the morning inspecting the interior and exterior details of each scene and the quality of the building, Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction and signed his name on the acceptance contract.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone in Philippe Messina's team will leave, and there will be a few engineers who will stay and work with the crew to complete the shooting.

This is also to prevent possible scene changes during the shoot, as well as certain details that need to be repaired.

After saying goodbye to Philip Messina, Chen Fei turned his head to look at Wen Ziren and arranged: "Contact all the actors, we are going to get ready to start the film." ”

"Okay."

……

The day before the start of "The Hunger Games", a piece of news reached Chen Fei's ears from the mainland.

["Inception" officially broke the 637 million yuan created by "Mulan" and ranked first in the Chinese film box office list with a score of 650 million yuan. 】

At this time, only two weeks have passed since its release.

According to media reports, the two formats of 3D and lmax-3d have become the object of crazy pursuit by fans, and even though it has been nearly half a month since the release, it still maintains a very high attendance rate.

In particular, the LMAX-3D is very small in number, so even if the ticket price is very expensive for ordinary people, it still maintains a 100% attendance rate!

In the past, 2D movies had to be recorded and anti-piracy when they were released, but this film was not needed at all.

Even if someone "guards and steals" and deliberately leaks the 2D version of the picture, not many people pay attention to it, because if this kind of 3D special effects blockbuster is not watched in the cinema, you can't feel the strong shock at all!

It's just that with the extinction of piracy, scalpers have suddenly become rampant again.

Especially for LMAX-3D movie tickets, it only costs more than 100 yuan to buy them in the cinema, but scalpers dare to sell them for 500 or even 800!

For this reason, Chen Fei deliberately said hello to the bosses of several theater companies, and directly changed to buy tickets with ID cards, and only one ticket can be bought with one card, which suppressed the rampant scalpers.

In fact, the reason for the rampant scalpers is that some people "guard and steal" and engage in upside-down operations, in order to put money in their own pockets.

For this reason, Chen Fei is not ambiguous with them, if piracy is the most rampant in cinemas, then he will directly remove the movie from this area!

Although this will lead to a decrease in box office revenue, only by cracking down on scalpers can we better help the film industry rise step by step.

Otherwise, all the money will be taken away by scalpers, and the theater chain will still develop a fart?

And fans will definitely be dissatisfied, which is obviously not conducive to the subsequent word-of-mouth and rating of a movie.

Han Sanping expressed unconditional support, held three meetings in three consecutive days, and directly implemented the matter.

It's only been two weeks since it was released, and it has already gotten 650 million yuan, and you don't have to guess later, it's absolutely easy to exceed 800 million, and even break 1 billion!

Although this is an imported film, his director is a Chinese, and China Film also occupies a 10% share in it, if the box office can break one billion, his face will also shine!

Some people even launched a vote on the Internet, started box office predictions, and set a total of 13 options from 800 million to 2 billion.

Han Sanping happily joined in the fun and cast a precious vote on the "1 billion" option.

Yang Shoucheng, Huo Qigang and others, who were far away in Xiangjiang, all voted on the "1 billion" option, and their faces were full of amazement.

Who would have thought that this movie would create such brilliant results!

Previously, Xiangjiang's annual box office champion was "Transformers 2" with 48 million Hong Kong dollars, but this data was quickly surpassed by "Inception".

And what's even more shocking is that the box office trend of "Inception" is still rising, infinitely approaching the 100 million Hong Kong dollars of "Titanic".

The media in Hong Kong have even begun to prepare promotional drafts, and when the box office of "Inception" exceeds 100 million Hong Kong dollars, they must make a big splash!

This big ship has been pressing on the head of the Hong Kong film industry for too long, and it is not easy to overturn it, and we must have full assistance!

Among them, the most is Golden Harvest's hard work, and the publicity strategy is one after another, without stopping at all!

In addition to Hong Kong and the mainland, "Inception" has also gained countless fans in Wanwan, Neon, South Korea, Singapore and other places, and has been dominating the charts for two consecutive weeks.

Judging from the various scores of the movie and the box office data of various countries, this movie has become a top commercial blockbuster in the world, and has received countless praises for Chen Fei!

As for "Harry Potter" on the other side, although the box office growth is not bad, the popularity has not been able to rise, and the box office trend has not met Warner's expectations.

As for "Flying House", it is even worse!

There was "Twilight 3" before, followed by "Transformers 2", followed by "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", and finally "Inception" was directly amplified, making it a mess!

It has not been released for more than a month now, and the North American box office of "Flying House Travel" has exceeded 300 million US dollars, and then there has been no increase, and the number of films has dropped again and again.

Disney's distribution department can only focus on the global scale, and Huaxia is also in its range of choices, and it also has a 3D format, and its purpose is self-evident.

"Want to fight for cake? You're choosing the wrong person. ”

Chen Fei pursed his lips, full of disdain.

If you want to use a cartoon to fight against a sci-fi masterpiece, isn't Disney's president of the distribution department confused?

How dare you?

……

On the day of the launch of "The Hunger Games", Chen Fei directly invited various media to hold a not-so-grand start-up ceremony in the crew.

Although there is no lavish party, no red carpet, dresses, champagne and other lofty basic equipment, but the media dare not underestimate this movie at all.

No way, who made his director Chen Fei!

Now the total box office of "Inception" in North America has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and it is still launching a fearless charge towards 600 million US dollars, crushing a number of commercial blockbusters in the same period.

Chen Fei, the "father of new 3D" who was appointed by Spielberg, has proven his own strength, and he has welded this title to his head with real box office data!

And in addition to the extremely bright box office figures, the ratings of this movie on major websites also confirm his excellence.

Especially on the lMDb side, it directly occupies the fourth place in film history with a score of 9.0, and rubs movies such as "Vulgar", "The Lord of the Rings 3", and "Schindler's List" under the soles of their feet.

Although there is still a slight gap from the three movies "The Godfather 2", "The Redemption of Oshenke" and "The Godfather", many people are quite confident in it and think that there is a great hope that it can stand first!

"Thank you very much for coming and supporting ......"

At the start-up ceremony, Chen Fei pulled out the actors of the crew one by one and let them make a wonderful appearance in front of the camera.

There are no big-name stars in the starring team of this movie, and the most noteworthy heroine, Jennifer Lawrence, is still a newcomer who has not debuted for a few years, and the male protagonist who plays a supporting role is not much different from a newcomer.

But the supporting cast of the movie is luxurious!

Monica Bellucci, Morgan Freeman, Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo, Tom Hardy, Hollywood Four......

As far as the eye can see, the entire supporting cast team simply crushes the protagonist group!

Some media asked Chen Fei curiously during the interview, how could there be so many big-name stars in this movie? Is it another masterpiece like "Inception"?

Without waiting for Chen Fei to speak, Xiao Lizi happily took the microphone, "We just came here to make a cameo, everyone is estimated to only have a few seconds of footage, and Fei didn't even talk to me about the salary!" Obviously let us work for nothing! ”

After a burst of laughter, the topic was revealed.

After the kick-off ceremony, "The Hunger Games" officially started filming.

As Leonardo said, many big-name superstars did come to make cameos for one or two shots, and they were sent away by Chen Fei after filming.

As for the dinner, he plans to hold it together when "Inception" celebrates the feast, so that he can save money for a meal.

The next day, the news of the start of filming of "The Hunger Games" spread throughout Hollywood and the mainland.

"Director Chen's new film has been launched, and it is still self-written and directed, with an investment of up to $150 million."

"A number of Hollywood superstars made cameos, and Leonardo joked that they were all free coolies, and they didn't have a dime to be paid at all."

"Chinese actors appeared on the set, and Wu Jing's road to Hollywood officially set sail!"

“……”

Wu Jing's appearance is an extremely special highlight in the eyes of many people, especially on the Xiangjiang side, many people have reacted in hindsight, no wonder I haven't seen this mainland boy in the past few years, it turned out that he hugged his thighs to mix Oscar!

However, some people are bent on breaking out, but some people can't get along outside, so they have to run to the country in disgrace.

Zhang Ziyi had already confirmed that she would play the heroine in "The Secret Fan in the Snow", but somehow, it was suddenly announced that the heroine would be South Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun.

As soon as the news came out, many people were speculating whether there was a conflict between Zhang Ziyi and Wendy Deng?

But a few days later, the Xiangjiang media announced the news of Zhang Ziyi's return to the Chinese-speaking circle.

"Recently, director Wang Jiawei announced that "The Grandmaster" will officially start filming soon, and the heroine will be played by Zhang Ziyi.

As soon as the news came out, all previous speculations disappeared without a trace.

Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" has received a lot of attention from the beginning of preparation, and after many years, it was finally decided to start filming, which naturally caused a lot of heat.

Previously, many people thought that Zhang Ziyi was driven back by Hollywood, but now the media are boasting about her patriotism.

"For the development of domestic films, he did not hesitate to reduce his salary, and even abandoned his Hollywood acting career, which is admirable and lamentable......"

The announcements flew all over the sky, and even reached the ears of Chen Fei, who was filming in the crew of "The Hunger Games".

Ning Hao was a gossip in private, and talked to Chen Fei about it with a mysterious face.

"Have you heard? Zhang Ziyi is not as glorious as the media reported, she and Wu Yu suffered similarly, they were both driven back. ”

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked at him curiously, "Do you still know the inside story of this?" ”

"Of course!"

Ning Hao patted his chest and explained in detail: "You should know the news of her engagement last year, right?" Didn't you say you were going to get married in a year at the latest? But now it's blowing! People don't want her anymore! Slept with her for a year in vain! ”

"Hey? Aren't these two very affectionate? ”

"Oh, it's just that everyone takes what they need, the man wants to sign a prenuptial property agreement and do property notarization, but he was mixed up by her brother, saying that after getting married, it will be the joint property of the husband and wife.

Zhang Ziyi listened to her brother's words and wanted to force others, but she was directly dumped by others, and she didn't even look at her more. ”

Lao Mei's side doesn't attach much importance to marriage, divorce often happens, and most men will have two or three wives in their lives.

Especially the kind of executives who are very strong in their own strength, the importance of marriage is far less than that of interests.

What's more, the two are just engaged, and they haven't even received a marriage certificate.

The man directly threw his hands and left, causing Zhang Ziyi's resources and connections abroad to plummet, and even Wendy Deng quickly drew a line with her.

"A woman can be greedy, but she must be skilled enough, or she will have to suffer the consequences of failure."

This is Wendy Deng's original words, and it is also the reason why Zhang Ziyi returned to China for development.

Her plan failed, the "International Chapter" was no longer worthy of its name, and if she wanted to get out again, she would have to find new golden thighs.

"The Grandmaster" has become a new opportunity for her, while filming, she is also looking for better resources, and the name Chen Fei is naturally on her attention list.

After chatting with Ning Hao about the gossip, Chen Fei called the emperor.

""Ip Man 3" can start preparations."

"Okay, I got it."

Yang Shoucheng smiled, and suddenly recalled Wang Jiawei's ridicule of the "Ip Man" series in an interview with the media before.

Now that I've finally found an opportunity, let's compare!

……

At the beginning of August, the news of the completion of "Game of Thrones" and "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" caused quite a stir in the Hollywood film and television circles.

Most of everyone's attention is focused on the former, and the investment of 7 million US dollars in one episode is also unique in the entire TV circle!

The Time Warner TV division, which controls the HBO television network, has begun to get nervous, and they suddenly remember the pain of being dominated by the Game of Thrones series last year.

Now the other party has not only made a comeback, but also brought a little brother, this is the rhythm of killing!

Although Chen Fei didn't have time to attend the finale banquet, he asked Natasha to run instead of him, and specially explained that the post-production of these two TV series must be done in accordance with the specifications of the film!

Either they don't roll, or they have to roll their peers to death, and they must not be left with a way to live.

He also has a "Shameless" in his script library, and Chen Fei decided to give this script to Isaac Perlmutter when he has time to go to Marvel, and let him make preliminary preparations first.

With the support of Longxiang Capital, Hulu's market share in North America and even the world is increasing, and it already has the strength to compete with HBO.

Of course, Longxiang Capital's business atmosphere is certainly more than that.

In addition to the continuous improvement of various layouts in North America, the layout of the mainland is in an orderly manner.

For example, Sina Weibo, which will be launched in the near future, is also within the investment scope of Longxiang Capital, and occupies a lot of voice in it.

Although Chen Fei doesn't have a good impression of this platform, I have to say that Weibo still has a set of tricks!

He also does not have the luxury of full control, as long as he occupies a certain right to speak, it is enough to ensure that there will be no unfavorable news on the platform.

……

"Congratulations, Monica, you've made it."

Monica Bellucci didn't have many scenes in "The Hunger Games", so after contributing a wave of acting skills, she successfully ended her scene.

The crew specially ordered a bouquet of flowers, Chen Fei personally held it and handed it to her, and hugged her tightly, congratulating her on a smooth future acting career.

"Can I advance my salary?"

"Absolutely."

"Tonight, Conrad Hotel, room 1403, I'll wait for you, I want to be paid, and I want you to ......"

Chen Fei didn't expect that she would say so bluntly in front of the public that she had opened a house.

He subconsciously looked sideways and looked around, only to see that many people were applauding and cheering, and it was obvious that he didn't hear the whispered conversation between the two just now.

Looking at Monica, who was full of autumn waves, he secretly sighed that this kind of ripe peach is really bold enough!

"Gotta punish her!"

In the evening, he gladly went to the appointment, not only brought Monica Bellucci a salary, but also gave her many exquisite small gifts.

In front of the 27-storey floor-to-ceiling window, Monica's upper body was pressed against the glass, and a pair of dough on her chest was directly pressed into a cake shape, and it took more than two hours to receive all the exquisite small gifts sent by Chen Fei.

……

(ps: The first change, ask for a monthly pass!! ）
