Weibo is indeed a very convenient publicity channel, after receiving the poster sent by Cameron, Chen Fei immediately posted a new Weibo.

"Thank you very much James Cameron for the celebration poster, and here, I also wish "Avatar" a box office hit!"

As soon as the new Weibo was issued, and with the report of Sina.com, it instantly rushed to the top of the hot search list!

For a while, the heated discussions of netizens filled the comment area.

"I'm a good girl?! Director Chen's new movie won the first place in North American film history? it! What a joke! ”

"This, this, this... It's awesome! ”

"Damn! Fired "Titanic"? ”

"! Awesome! Awesome! This is our director in China! What an unprecedented record! ”

"Don't say it, this poster is really good, the young little Li Zi and Kate have become middle-aged Jack and Fat Wen, as if there is a sense of inheritance."

There are heated discussions on the Internet, but industry insiders are mixed with mixed joy.

Wu Yu, who was supervising the production of "Sword Rain", seemed to have eaten shit, and he felt bad about himself.

Obviously, he is the light of hope for Chinese directors in Hollywood, and how brilliant "Changing Face" and "Mission Impossible 2" were at the beginning, making him famous all over the world!

But now?

The title of "Light of Hope" was taken away, and he will never go back to Hollywood, he can't go back!

Looking at the global box office of "Inception" announced on the Internet, Wu Yu's eyes were full of tears.

1.56 billion US dollars, this is almost breaking through the 1.8 billion US dollars of that big ship, no matter how hard he tries, I am afraid he will not be able to catch up!

On the other side of the new picture, Zhang Weiping sat in the office, touching his right cheek, and felt some pain in his face inexplicably.

At that time, when "Inception" was released, he also swore that this film would be at most 600 million yuan in China.

But now it's good, the domestic box office has exceeded 1.2 billion, more than double his previous estimate!

This face is simply "crackling"!

It's a shame that he didn't say this in front of the media, otherwise his name would definitely appear on today's Weibo hot search list, and it would have appeared as an example of a negative textbook!

Many people called Chen Fei to congratulate him, or congratulated him by text message or email.

"No. 1 in North American film history!"

This name has completely established Chen Fei's success in the field of global commercial films, and a group of people in the mainland can only envy it, and they can't afford to chase it at all.

When Jang Changwon, the president of South Korea's SBS TV, called to congratulate him, he also informed him of the news that "Train to Busan" had been launched.

Although Chen Fei did not go to the start-up ceremony, Natasha ran instead of him.

Zhang Changyuan, an old boy, is very good at doing things, and he is in a good mood to coax Natasha, which can be regarded as temporarily retaining his status as president.

However, the position under his ass is not too stable now, and the day when "Train to Busan" is released will really decide whether he can sit firmly in the position of president.

When Xiao Lizi came to visit the class of "The Hunger Games", he also specially brought a big gift to Chen Fei, thanking him for choosing himself as the male lead.

"Fei, if it weren't for you, my worth and salary would not have risen again."

"What? Your salary has gone up again? Chen Fei couldn't help but gasp.

When filming "Inception", Xiao Lizi's salary was already a little unbearable for him, but now it's good, this guy's salary has gone up a lot, and he really can't afford it in the future!

"Haha, you don't have to be too surprised, isn't that a good thing? And your director's salary has also risen a lot, let's call it a win-win! ”

"Ah, yes, yes......"

He doesn't take on external dramas, he takes a share internally, and it doesn't make much sense whether it rises or not.

"I hope that this No. 1 film history list in North America can be maintained for a long time, and it is best to occupy it for 12 years like "Titanic"!"

"Yo? You'd dare to think about it. ”

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

He is actually ready to draw a celebration poster for "Avatar", although "Inception" has cut off part of the luck of the former, but it does not mean that the former can be suppressed.

Cameron's level is the top in Hollywood, coupled with the full 3D picture of "Avatar", which is no less than a bombshell for the semi-3D of "Inception"!

Anyway, in Chen Fei's own opinion, perhaps because of the appearance of "Inception", "Avatar" could not reach the peak of the global total box office of 2.9 billion US dollars, but it should still be easy to break 2 billion.

But he doesn't mind, after all, he still has the trump card of "Marvel" in his hand.

"Avengers 4: Endgame" IMAX-3D, it's you "Avatar"!

Before Xiao Lizi left, there was also a scene of "one step and three turns", and the tone of wanting to speak made Chen Fei's straight teeth sour, as if a little couple had broken up.

"Hey, you have something to say, you have a fart, and if you fix this expression, I'll call someone to carry you out!"

"Fei, I've always had a very high yearning for Oscar, you know what I mean?"

“……”

Chen Fei was a little helpless, those people in the academy didn't seem to like Xiao Lizi very much, and they would lose every time they were nominated.

Or is it actually a test for him?

"If there's a suitable script, I'll contact you."

As he spoke, Chen Fei looked at him and pointed to something, "Also, I personally think that if you want to challenge yourself, you might as well pay attention to your own image." ”

Image???

Leonardo was stunned for a while, seemed to understand something, nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and left the crew directly.

The image is indeed an insurmountable "gap" for him, and being too handsome is not all benefits, for example, if you want to win an award, you must work harder than others!

……

When the time came to the end of September, the box office growth of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was still very stable, and it moved into 300 million yuan very smoothly.

Many media have made predictions that if this trend continues, it may really be possible to break 400 million, chase 500 million, and exceed 600 million!

The movie channel held an interview program for Han Sanping.

When talking about the box office, the third master Ga Ga Zhile, "We never pay attention to the box office, the meaning of the gift film is to let the Chinese people see the deeds of that era and experience the hard-won happy life now, as for how much the box office can get, I am not interested." ”

Jing Weiqiang resisted the urge to laugh!

Look at what people say, 'I'm not interested in the box office', this force has made you finish up!

At the end of the interview, Jing Wei congratulated as usual: "Although Director Han is not interested in the box office, the quality and box office results of this film are so good, I believe it will definitely break a new record."

So here, I would like to congratulate Director Han in advance, who has already been promoted to the 600 million box office director club! ”

"I've never dared to think of it like that......"

Han Sanping's joy is about to stop.

～

After a one-month release period, "Guild Wars" finally closed with a box office of 185 million yuan.

For a movie with an investment of no more than 30 million, this is already a great success.

When Media Asia held a celebration reception, it took this opportunity to announce the preparatory plan for "Anti-Corruption Storm" by the way.

"The screenwriter is still Director Chen."

With these just seven words, it directly aroused the enthusiasm of all the Xiangjiang stars and artists present.

The news came out that night, and in addition to Xiangjiang, many people in the mainland also paid attention.

Tang Ren, Huayi, Orange Sky, Ten Circles Culture, Light, Wanda......

For Chen Fei, this kind of Hong Kong film is purely to earn him pocket money, it doesn't matter how high or low the box office is, as long as he doesn't lose money, he won't put more energy into paying attention.

But for other companies, this kind of movie that can steadily break 100 million at the box office is simply an excellent high-quality resource, if you don't hurry up and make it up, there will be no store in this village!

～

According to the usual practice, Chen Guofu still sent Chen Fei's mailbox an invitation to the premiere of "The Wind".

Ning Hao also received a copy, muttering in his mouth, "Premiere at Nortel?" What's the idea? Do you also want to drive college students to watch the movie like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"? ”

"I don't know." Chen Fei shook his head and turned his head to look at him, "Do you want to go back?" I can give you a vacation and go back to accompany my sister-in-law by the way. ”

"Nope! I don't want to! It's the last minute of shooting, how can I leave! Don't mention this kind of thing in the future! ”

The pain of a middle-aged man is not something that a young man like Chen Fei can imagine, he went back to the last Huabiao Awards, and the next day his legs were weak and he couldn't get out of bed, it's terrible to think about!

Although he couldn't go back, Chen Fei still got a unique CD.

That night, he called Liu Yifei, Wu Jing, Li Yang, Ning Hao, and Wen Ziren to watch the movie together in the screening room of Walton Pictures.

Compared with the majestic atmosphere of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", the story of "The Wind" is much more depressing and real, and even makes people feel a cloud of anger in their hearts inexplicably!

And Zhou Xun's last monologue sublimated the story to a very high level!

"Just because the nation has reached the moment of life and death, my generation can only fight to save it in case of emergency; My body is about to perish, but my soul will be with you; The enemy will not understand that the old ghost and the old gun are not individuals, but a spirit! A faith! ”

At the end of the film, Ning Hao let out a long sigh, "Zhou Xun can definitely get a movie queen!" ”

Chen Fei nodded in agreement, the revised plot is no longer a double heroine, Zhou Xun's personal charm has been greatly sublimated, and he does have a chance to win the award, I just hope that those old men will not be blind.

Huayi is quite smart, and with the help of the popularity of the upcoming release of "The Wind", it officially submitted a listing application to the GEM.

The two brothers of the Wang family have always been very clever in their methods of gaining popularity, which is recognized in the circle.

There are many celebrities and celebrities on the prospectus announced, and among a large number of people, Chen Fei's name is extremely conspicuous.

20,000,000 shares!

You must know that even Feng Xiaogang, a long-term partner of Huayi, only accounts for 2.88 million shares, and Zhang Jizhong only has 2.16 million shares.

As for the other artists within Huayi Company, because the limit is 1.8 million shares, none of the purchases exceed this number.

Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun both have 1.8 million shares, both of them received a reminder from Chen Fei, as for Li Bingbin, it is 700,000, Ren Quan is 600,000, and Zhao Liying is 50,000......

The first time the media saw the prospectus, their eyes focused on Chen Fei's 20 million shares.

"For the listing of Huayi, Director Chen Fei obviously has a optimistic idea and monopolizes 20 million shares!"

"Volton Pictures is listed, Chen Fei's net worth has exceeded 20 billion yuan, and now Huayi is about to go public, can Chen Fei make another profit?"

"20 million shares? I'm afraid of ...... water."

As the first private film and television entertainment company in China to be listed in China, Huayi's application has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the light, orange sky, tang people, etc.

If Huayi's application is approved, it means that they also hope to go public, which is a great way to increase revenue!

A few days later, Chen Fei received a call from Wang Zhonglei.

"Hahaha, Director Chen, I have to tell you good news."

"Approved?" Chen Fei knew what he wanted to say.

"That's right, it's over, we're going to go on the market in the second half of next month, and if we have time, we'll ring the bell together."

"Okay, then I'll wish Huayi's stock a big rise, with a market value of over 100 billion!"

"Haha, borrow your auspicious words, and I wish you a big box office hit."

Wang Zhonglei is very happy, after all, judging from the current situation, it was definitely not a loss to pull Chen Fei into the shares, but a very wise decision.

"I just have to give him a lot of money." Wang Zhongjun muttered a few words in a low voice.

"Small investment, big return, no loss, we don't lose, hahaha."

Wang Zhonglei smiled brightly, but he had a lot of ideas in his heart.

The company was a development model before going public, and I am afraid that some changes will have to be made after the listing.

Huayi's main business is now the film and television industry, but compared with Feiyue Film and Television, they are a little too dependent on Feng Xiaogang, which is obviously not conducive to future development.

"Do you have time to go to Nortel and see if you can find some good seedlings from the directing department and the screenwriting department? We can also try to cultivate some of them ourselves. ”

"Good! I know! ”

Wang Zhongjun nodded, looking thoughtful.

～

At the end of September, "The Wind" was officially released.

First-day box office: 15 million.

As the two brothers of the Wang family guessed before, the popularity of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is too strong, and the impact on "The Wind" is extremely fatal!

Even though the former has been released for half a month, the latter is still suppressed in terms of film scheduling.

If it weren't for the strong support of Pan Asia Cinemas, it would have been considered a high incense burner if there were 10 million in the end.

But even so, if you end up in the end, the loss of money will definitely not occur.

Originally, there was not much investment, although the investment in publicity and distribution exceeded expectations, but the overall scope was still under control, and the copyright was definitely sold in the future, which was definitely profitable.

That is to say, Wang Zhongjun has a big appetite and always wants to compare with "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", otherwise there is no need to worry at all.

Chen Fei deliberately followed up for a few more days, and after learning that the weekly box office successfully broke 70 million, he didn't pay attention anymore, and then waited for the money to be over.

The filming of "The Hunger Games" has now come to an end, and the drama part has all ended, and only the part in the arena remains.

With the assistance of Wu Jing's action director, the action scenes of the eldest cousin and other actors have been completed very well, and the filming is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Occasionally, if he can spare some free time, Chen Fei will also pay attention to the post-production of film and television dramas such as "Three Fools in Bollywood", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Super Body", "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", and "Game of Thrones 2", and put forward some feasible suggestions.

"Sweeping Drugs" has been confirmed to premiere at the Xiangjiang Asian Film Festival on October 25, and Yang Shoucheng called him once and specially invited him to participate in the scene.

Chen Fei refused directly on the phone, he really didn't have time to pay attention to this kind of small-budget movie, so let the emperor toss it himself.

However, the new movie "Cold War" launched by Golden Harvest was favored by him, and he even posted a video on Weibo to help promote it.

Yang Shoucheng and Zhuang Cheng both saw this promotional video, combined with the treatment suffered by "Anti-Drug" and "Fierce War", the two had to sigh secretly, "The treatment of the own son and the godson is different!" ”

……

The National Day holiday ended quickly, and the total box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" exceeded 400 million, and Han Sanping also successfully entered the 400 million box office director club in the mainland.

It's a pity that this movie is still powerless after all, and it is impossible to rush to 500 million.

But even so, Han Sanping was still very excited!

He is already very satisfied with this achievement, and even Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou have been left behind by him, which has proved that his strength is strong!

"Celebration Banquet...... Forget it, you definitely don't have time. ”

"Hey? What are you asking yourself for? ”

"Haha, I'm not afraid that you're busy, if you can come, I'm absolutely welcome!"

Han Sanping speaks very generously, just like he invests in movies on weekdays, and he also loves the kind of high-investment blockbusters.

"I got the news from the bureau, and you sent another script?" The purpose of the call was finally made clear by him.

"Well, low-cost martial arts films, used for newcomers to practice."

Chen Fei didn't hide anything, the Busan International Film Festival was coming to an end, and Lu Yang was going to return to China in a while, so the reward promised to him naturally had to be prepared in advance.

"Oh, okay." As soon as she heard that it was low-cost or hand-made, Han Sanping suddenly lost interest.

After paying attention to the progress of the filming of "The Hunger Games" again, he took the initiative to end the call.

"Hey, how obsessed is this old guy with blockbusters?"

Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, didn't pay much attention to it, and focused on the current shooting.

……

Time came to the 15th, and the total box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was fixed at 425 million.

China Film held a grand celebration banquet.

In the face of an interview with reporters, Han Sanping still said the same thing, "Thanks to the support of fans, I really don't have much expectations for the box office, I didn't expect to create such excellent results......"

There are many production company CEOs in the audience with forced smiles on their faces, but they are complaining frantically in their hearts.

"Shameless......"

In a blink of an eye, on the 17th, there was news from the Busan International Film Festival back to China.

Lu Yang won an "Audience Award" for "Blind Cinema", and he did not run in vain as the "brick family" in the industry expected.

"Haha, Director Chen, I'm done!"

The good news reached Chen Fei's ears as soon as possible.

"Yo? How? The masterpiece of the sword to ward off evil spirits? Chen Fei made a rare joke with him.

"Hehe, don't tease me, I sold the copyright, even if I don't go to the theater, I didn't lose money, fortunately I didn't lose my life!"

To be honest, he was actually under a lot of pressure.

Chen Fei's fame is too great, and none of the movies he has shot since his debut have lost money, if something goes wrong in "Blind Cinema", fans' saliva can drown him Lu Yang!

"Okay, if you've had enough, come back, if you haven't had enough, stay for a few more days, and then pick a suitable schedule to release it first."

"That's... Then my new script ......"

"Go back to Mr. Su, I'm ready."

"Haha! Thank you, Director Chen! ”

South Korea's kimchi Lu Yang really had enough, and as soon as the copyright fee arrived, he directly booked a plane ticket to return to China.

It's just that because I didn't have much experience before, I was inevitably blocked by reporters after returning to China this time.

"Congratulations to Director Lu for winning the award."

"Haha, fluke, fluke......"

"What's next?"

"It's better to prepare for the release first, and we have to carry out some publicity work."

"Are there any new film plans?"

"Director Chen said that he would arrange it for me, but I haven't received any news from my side yet......"

The reporters reacted quickly, and on the afternoon of Lu Yang's return to China, there was already news about him on the Internet.

Being able to win an award at the Busan International Film Festival means that he has stepped into the film industry with two feet, plus he signed a contract with Feiyue Film and Television, and Chen Fei also promised to arrange it for him......

There is no doubt that another cutting-edge director in China is about to rise!

For a while, invitations to various drinking parties frequently appeared around Lu Yang, which made him feel a wave of what is called "overnight explosion"!
