395, it's outrageous! What about cheating, right? No. 1 in North American film history! The new king has officially ascended the throne!
The post-production and editing of "Super Body" naturally does not need Chen Fei to take care of, Catherine will be fully responsible.
Many second-tier directors in Hollywood don't actually have editing rights, their task is to make a good movie, and the company will take care of the post-editing.
Just like when Chen Fei first came abroad, the "Fast and Furious 3" he cooperated with Universal Pictures did not have editing rights, only shooting rights.
The reason for this is simple.
The first starting point of commercial films is always - "box office"!
For the box office, a movie usually extracts all the commercial elements in it when it is done in the later stage, so that the audience can enjoy the ultimate pleasure of watching the movie.
But if the director himself follows up the post-production and editing work, it will inevitably have a subjective consciousness, and it will inevitably add some "water".
And this doesn't make sense in the eyes of many studio bosses.
What commercial films pursue is "cool", and the audience doesn't come to the cinema to listen to you tell the connotation of the story, they just want to be cool!
And Catherine Bigkun even took the initiative to promise a lot of conditions in order to get the editing rights of the movie, such as signing a long-term cooperation agreement with Walton Pictures.
Chen Fei didn't refuse her, and went to cut it if he wanted to.
What's more, there will be several rounds of review in the future, and if there is a dispute, why not correct it?

"? Liu Tianwang is married?! ”
Ning Hao's personality is quite stable, but when he saw this news, he was still shocked!
There are many celebrities in the group who are married, but there are few who dare to go public like Liu Dehao.
In the past few years, he has been trapped in the whirlpool of fans and difficult to raise his head, but now he suddenly has a big public, but he is quite open-minded!
"What's the fuss, haven't you never seen the Heavenly King's sister-in-law before?" Chen Fei complained about him without replying.
Chen Fei naturally received the wedding invitation, but unfortunately he really didn't have time, so he could only ask Huo Qigang to help give a gift, and took the initiative to call to explain.
Liu Dehao is very open-minded, not the slightest dissatisfaction, but happily said that he must not get drunk and return if he has the opportunity in the future!
Chen Fei still has a good impression of him, after all, in the Xiangjiang artist group, he is one of the few artists who has firmly supported the principle of "one China" from beginning to end.
With this alone, he is destined to be popular for a lifetime!
"What about you? When will you prepare for the official announcement? Ning Hao suddenly came over and wanted to take a bite of Chen Fei's fresh melon.
"I don't even have a girlfriend, who will I go to?"
"Don't you have so many suitors? Are you not going to choose a down-to-earth stable one? I think Liu Yifei's girl is very good, if you choose her, I will definitely support her! ”
Wen Ziren pricked up his ears on the side, and he was also full of interest.
may have been with Ning Hao for a long time, and he has also begun to incarnate as a "gossip expert".
"I haven't written a word, what is the official announcement?" Chen Fei glanced at him, "I think you're idle and boring, right?" Let's go, I'll arrange an anti-prop job for you. ”
"Don't! I was wrong! It's not okay if you're wrong! ”
Ning Hao hurriedly begged for mercy.
The props in "The Hunger Games" are all big guys, except for those black brothers who seem to be unable to exhaust their strength, if the others resist for a day, don't want to get up the next day!
……
On September 13, the Venice International Film Festival officially came to an end.
"Lebanon" directed by Maas Shumlik won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, and "1428" directed by Chinese director Du Haibin won the Best Documentary Award in the Horizon unit.
Huang Bo's self-directed and self-starred "Bullfighting" was shortlisted for the Horizon unit, but it got nothing.
But even so, the mainland director circle still recognized his strength, after all, being shortlisted is enough to prove the quality of the film!
Huang Bo called, with a little regret in his tone.
"Director Chen, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"What's so disappointing about this? Keep up the good work, the award is not only awarded once in a lifetime, and it will be over next time. ”
"It's true, I'm too stubborn." After adjusting his mood, Huang Bo was happy again, "If there is a script or role that suits me over there, remember to contact me." ”
"Hey, don't tell me, I really have a role here that suits you well!"
Chen Fei suddenly thought of "Heart Flower Road", at this time, it is absolutely appropriate to let Huang Bo play the role of "Geng Hao", they are all disappointed, and they can easily be substituted in.
"You keep the November, December, and January schedules for me, and let's work together to make a comedy to have fun, and we should be distracted."
"Okay, no problem, I'll wait for you to come back."
Huang Bo's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Weibo is indeed a double-edged sword, some people become famous overnight, and some people fall to the bottom because of it.
The contradiction between Yang Mi and Tang Ren is quite intense, and fans don't care who is right or wrong, and they support their idols with iron hearts.
Online scolding wars are frequent, and Cai Yinong has become the first producer to experience "cyber violence"!
When Hu Ge called, he said that he regretted helping Yang Mi in the casting, and if someone else played "Tang Xuejian", maybe these problems would not have occurred.
Chen Fei smiled and did not give any response.
As long as Weibo appears, this kind of thing will only become more frequent in the future, and he is secretly glad that he has prepared in advance, and these bad things will definitely not fall on his head.
The news of the premiere of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is also on the Weibo hot list.
Olympic Sports Center, more than 200 first- and second-tier artists in the circle, and bright stars on the scene......
Although Chen Fei was not able to attend, he logged in to his account on his blog and Weibo and did what he could to promote the film.
After all, he is a screenwriter and one of the participants, so this wave of publicity can also play a role.
On the second day of the release, he took the initiative to call Han Sanping and asked about the box office situation of the film.
"Haha, it's not bad, 31 million on the first day, maybe it can break the box office record of 637 million in "Mulan"."
China Film has bragged a lot in front of the media, such as creating new domestic film box office records.
At first, many people in the industry thought that this was impossible, even if there were more stars on the scene, but after all, this was just a tribute film, not a commercial film?
But soon, the development of events made many people in the industry stunned!
Some schools and units have begun to issue tasks to guide in-service employees and students to go into theaters and watch movies......
"? Can it be like this? ”
In Huayi Company, the two brothers of the Wang family watched this wave of operations of China Film, and suddenly felt that they had been refreshed with three views.
"It's outrageous, isn't this cheating!"
"There's no way, who makes the family a Chinese film, this is the gap."
The propaganda of "The Wind" failed to make a splash under the suppression of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", so that Huayi had to invest more publicity funds, which had a certain effect.
"Do you want to say hello to Chen Fei? Anyway, they Feiyue Film and Television is also one of the investors, can they just let "The Wind" be suppressed? ”
"Forget it, that guy has been so busy recently that he doesn't even have time to attend the premiere of the Huabiao Awards and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", let alone "The Wind", I'd better talk to Su Guohai about it, at least I can't let the investment go down the drain."
After going around in a big circle, the call finally reached Chen Fei.
After hearing Huayi's concerns about the box office, Chen Fei didn't say much, only replied, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no shortage of films scheduled by Pan Asia Cinema Line, and I will also ask them to arrange the publicity and distribution of other countries, and it is absolutely impossible to lose money." ”
After receiving the reply, the two brothers of the Wang family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of someone is cool!
"Brother, do you think we should also develop in the theater chain? At least in the future, the films produced by the company can be guaranteed to be not affected by the film schedule of the theater side. Wang Zhonglei proposed.
Wang Zhongjun shook his head slightly, "Let me think about it again, after all, doing a theater chain is not something that can be done by casually talking, which means that the company's future income may have to be filled in, so let's deal with the listing first." ”
"Okay."
Wang Zhonglei nodded, inexplicably admiring Chen Fei.
This guy still has a long-term vision!
The acquisition of Golden Harvest, the bold development of Pan-Asian cinemas, mergers and acquisitions, and the launch of new IMAX giant screen theaters have made a lot of money!
After the time came to mid-September, the box office of "Inception" in the mainland has reached 1.28 billion, thanks to the newly opened 3D theaters in many third- and fourth-tier cities.
There is almost no more film schedule in the 2D version, after all, most of them have been taken away by "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".
But even so, the box office growth should not be underestimated, and the 3D version and imax-3d are still enthusiastically sought after by many young people!
There are many people in the industry who are staring at it, and they all want to see where the ceiling of this movie is?
As for North America, the box office of "Inception" has successfully surpassed the $600.6 million of "Titanic" and successfully won the box office championship in North American film history!
658 million US dollars, this is the latest North American box office data of "Inception"!
After 12 years, the box office record that many people thought could not be surpassed has finally been broken!
In fact, there have been countless phenomenal movies that wanted to challenge this data, but in the end they all failed, and a group of industry insiders in Hollywood really didn't expect that this record was broken by Chen Fei!
For a while, the media in the United States began to scramble to report.
"Hollywood's new king has ascended the throne!"
“Fei! He has created a new miracle again! ”
"It's hard to imagine that he is only 25 years old this year and has already made such a good movie......"
“……”
While competing for reports, many authoritative media in the United States want to conduct an exclusive interview with Chen Fei, but he has now devoted himself to the filming of "The Hunger Games", and all the voices of the outside world have been left behind by him.
Natasha became his mouthpiece, holding press conferences for several days in a row.
Although the intensity of work has increased again and again, she is not at all dissatisfied, after all, as reports are sent out, the stock price of Walton Pictures has also ushered in wave after wave of skyrocketing!
No one will have trouble with money, not even Natasha, who has achieved financial freedom.
She now has a new goal, which is to make the company's stock price surpass Disney, so that the person who once betrayed her can taste what is called the "taste" of regret!
On the other side, James Cameron, the former box office record holder in film history, expressed his congratulations to Chen Fei very seriously in an interview with the media, and attached a hand-drawn celebration poster.
It's an old Hollywood tradition, and when a new box office champion is born, the predecessor will release a poster in the media to celebrate.
This "tradition" can actually be traced back to 1977, when Spielberg and his friend George Lucas competed for the box office throne for several years.
Every time the two lose to each other, they will draw a celebration poster and give it to each other to congratulate.
It wasn't until 1997 that the big ship came out of nowhere, which ended the game between the two.
And because Spielberg also sent a hand-drawn celebration poster to "Titanic" at that time, Cameron naturally couldn't let this tradition be broken.
In fact, since "Inception" broke $550 million, he was ready to welcome the "new king", so the celebration poster was drawn by him very early.
And it is very fateful that because the male and female protagonists of both movies are Leonardo and Kate Winslet, this celebration poster Cameron drew extremely energetically!
The poster depicts the picture of the sinking of the Titanic, young Jack and Rousi hugging each other tightly at the bow of the ship, fighting against this catastrophe that can destroy everything with loyal love, and above the glacier that collided with the big ship, the middle-aged Jack and Rousi looked down at all this in front of them, and if you look closely, you can even find a spinning top spinning above their heads......
I don't know why, when drawing this poster, Cameron inexplicably felt the pleasure of being "tributed" by the latecomers!
Could this be what the Chinese people often say...... The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves? ”
After being published and pushed by several Chinese media, the poster immediately attracted the attention and praise of many people in Hollywood.
Especially Leonardo, who is the leading actor in two movies at the same time, has wrinkles on his smiling face when he faces the media.
He is the male protagonist in the first and second two movies in North American film history, and he has been throughout Hollywood several times, who can compete with him at the box office now?
Soon, though, the smile on his face faded.
The new Academy Awards is less than 5 months away, and if it is not surprising, he may have to go through a new round of escort......
