402. The upstream and downstream are in full bloom! The future of Guoman is blooming at this moment! The visitor is a guest, bathing and massage......

"See Through", a 16-minute animated film, is an anti-war cartoon.

The story is about two overlords who start a world war for land, two pilots on both sides are entangled with each other in the air, and the two are accidentally shipwrecked together on an island in the sea, and the two who were originally hostile later became friends in life and death......

16 minutes passed in a flash, and Chen Fei was quite unsatisfied.

Although the production is a bit crude, the scene creativity is quite good, the theme is meaningful and does not lose the core, and expresses the disgust of war in a very humorous way.

And what made him even more interesting was that at the end of the film, he even saw his own name!

In addition to him, there are also well-known people such as Li Press, Kurosawa Ming, Li Lianlian, Ma Yun and so on, and those who don't know even think that these people are all involved.

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing, pointed to his name and said, "Why don't I remember participating in the creation of this short film?" ”

Juan Bao played in front of the main master, which made Yang Yu blush.

He smiled, scratched his head again, and explained with some embarrassment: "This is nothing, it just has a bit of a ridicule or spoof flavor, but it's not quite."

Actually, the more accurate reason is that I think that anyone who creates a work should have something to say, and I just took this opportunity to show the people I admire, which is also a way to express my worldview and values......"

These words were a little messy, but Chen Fei could understand them.

"So, you're approved of me, aren't you?"

Director Chen said and laughed, that's for sure! As long as you are an animation person in China, we all regard you as an idol, "Robot Wall-E", "Kung Fu Panda", these works have had a great impact on us! ”

When he said this, many people around him nodded frequently.

Not to mention animation, even if he is a screenwriter, actor, director, producer, and investor, who doesn't regard him as an idol?

"Haha, it seems that I still have some influence."

Chen Fei laughed at himself, and then his voice suddenly changed, and he looked at Yang Yu quite seriously, and said, "I see that you are not very old, have you already signed the company?" Are you interested in working with me?

I'm recently preparing to try to explore the field of domestic animation, and I'm ready to start an animation company to give it a try, but I just lack a talent like you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ren Zhonglun, who had been silent next to him, only felt his eyebrows tremble!

Really!

He guessed right!

Chen Fei is just preparing for a wave of full flowering!

Movies, TV series, digital ...... Now with animation, isn't this just a one-man monopoly on the entire upstream industry?

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but start fantasizing again.

In this case, can the upper shadow also be mixed in?

Ren Zhonglun was thinking about it, when he heard Yang Yu shouting excitedly, "Really...... Are you sure? Mr. Chen is interested in developing in the field of domestic animation? ”

Chen Fei nodded, "I signed a director a year ago, his name is Li Yang, and he has been training abroad with the crew of "Kung Fu Panda 2" for more than half a year.

He also made a short film, called "The Adventures of Li Xianli", which will be launched in China next month, if you are interested, you can communicate more. ”

"Good! I communicate by all means! Communicate by all means! ”

Yang Yu is not like Wu Hantian, he is not a person who likes to be conservative.

Although he is a halfway monk, because he is a medical student, he pays great attention to details, and he is calm enough to withdraw himself from the excitement of the outside world and return to the essence of the problem.

For example, the current self-recommendation, he is well aware of his shortcomings in terms of funds, and he also knows the difficulty of domestic animation production.

But if he can get Chen Fei's help, it will be very different, he can use this to get technical support from Hollywood, and even financial support, and take another big step towards his dream!

Why not?

After exchanging contact information with Yang Yu, Chen Fei said goodbye to him temporarily.

This is a very talented director, coupled with Li Yang, who returned from studying abroad, as well as financial and technical support, Chen Fei believes that the time has come for domestic animated films to make efforts!

He planned to wait for the end of this visit, and immediately instructed Su Guohai to get a model out of the animation department first, and slowly add equipment and technical personnel to it.

As for Yang Yu and Li Yang, these two people can develop in the direction of capable people, this is a proper technical talent, and they must be fully supported!

And at this time, Chen Fei finally remembered Yang Yu's true identity.

He was born in Sichuan and Chongqing, and was originally born in West China Academy, and his main profession is actually a doctor.

However, since he came into contact with MAYA (3D animation and visual effects software) in 02, he began to learn animation creation, and began to create "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon".

At the end of 2009, he and producer Liu Wenxiang co-founded the "Dumpling Keli" animation studio, which is the predecessor of the movie "Nezha: The Demon Boy Descends to the World".

Regarding the fact that Yang Yu has founded an animation studio, Chen Fei did not take it to heart.

Isn't it just a studio, but he is now well-known in the entertainment industry, so why not just merge it when the time comes?

Money is not important, the key is technology and talent!

He is not afraid that the other party will disagree, after all, studying medicine can't save domestic animation, only money and technical talent, and it just so happens that Chen Fei has all of these.

The goal has been achieved in advance, and Chen Fei naturally has little interest in continuing to visit the Shangmei factory.

It's actually not interesting here, there are only a few familiar IPs over and over again, and it hasn't been a long time since I've innovated.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many old people who have mastered the technology and are still struggling to stick to it, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be available in the form of a museum.

Rejecting the proposal of several leaders to entertain them, Chen Fei and Ren Zhonglun left the Shangmei factory by car.

"Alas, it's a waste of time." Someone sighed, his face full of regret.

Someone saw it very clearly and said something open, "People are not stupid, they have so many good stories in their hands, how can they be stupid to invest in our old IPs?" ”

"I hope he can take a new route with domestic animation!"

The minds of technicians are relatively pure, and a large number of people are still optimistic about Chen Fei, after all, there are not many animation directors in the mainland who can make animated movies and make them popular.

When "Kung Fu Panda" was launched in 2008, it really shocked a bunch of people's jaws!

When he first learned that Chen Fei was actually the director, not only did many people on the Internet clamory for him to save Guoman, but even some mainland animation producers were secretly praying.

And now, Chen Fei has finally shown such a sign.

Maybe it's a fresh start!

……

A press release from Chen Fei's visit to the Magic Capital Shangmei Factory appeared on the Internet in the evening of the same day.

"The moment Director Chen Fei stepped into Shangmei Factory, the future of Guoman bloomed at this moment......"

"The road of domestic animation still needs to be opened by Chen Fei himself!"

"Boom, Feiyue Film and Television will officially enter the animation field......"

The news on the Internet has caused quite a stir in the field of Chinese animation circles, but on the whole, it has only caused some splashes before, which is not particularly shocking.

Han Sanping didn't even call to ask for details, which shows how unoptimistic these mainland film companies are about animation!

However, Ren Zhonglun asked a few more questions, but because the plan was still just a prototype, he couldn't get any useful news.

"Let's go, the visitor is a guest, take a bath and massage."

"Haha, Mr. Ren's proposal won my heart, respectable, admirable, gratifying, and congratulating!"

In the front row, Ren Zhonglun's driver made a U-turn at the intersection of the red wine light very slippery and went straight to the suburbs of the magic capital.

……

After flying from the magic capital to the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", Chen Fei turned on the computer and deliberately cleaned up some of the work accumulated in the mailbox.

On the South Korean side, ShowBox sent an invitation to the premiere of "Lone Hero".

This movie was also released in the Chinese New Year, starring South Korea's god-level actor Yuan Bin, who won a lot of attention when he did publicity in the early stage.

ShowBox is very sure that this movie will definitely become a hit, so it has invested a lot in publicity.

It's just that Chen Fei probably doesn't have time to go, there are too many jobs in the mainland, and it's hard for him to leave!

In addition to the email from South Korea, he also received an email from Mr. Woody Allen.

The fourth and fifth parts of "Twilight" have officially started, and shooting in 3D format is a big challenge for him, and he is ready to devote himself to the filming of this film and draw a successful end to his film career.

Chen Fei replied to him in an email, expressing support and telling him to pay attention to rest.

"Money, technology, whatever you need, just go to Natasha ......"

Because of the fire of the first three films, the actors gradually began to flutter, and the reason why they increased investment was also to appease people's hearts.

Chen Fei still wants to make a lot of money by relying on the fourth and fifth parts, at least he has to stabilize the people first, and then talk about the follow-up...... As long as you can make a movie, nothing else matters.

The release of "Inception" continues, and Natasha sends him global box office data every day, and occasionally brings the stock price of Volton Pictures.

Chen Fei looked at it briefly, and then suddenly found that his worth seemed to be close to 30 billion yuan.

"? Sure enough, if film and television companies want to make a lot of money, if they want their stock prices to soar, they still have to make money from global audiences! ”

Chen Fei's idea coincides with the thoughts of the CEOs of several Hollywood film companies.

Although Warner's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is far less brilliant than "Inception", it has exceeded 300 million dollars at the North American box office and 900 million dollars at the global box office after nearly four months of release!

This achievement has already satisfied Warner Bros. with several celebratory receptions, and at the same time announced the start of filming of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

At the same time, Blue Sky Studios and DreamWorks have also made a lot of fame.

"Ice Age 3" and "Transformers 2" both exceeded 800 million dollars, although they are still far from 900 million dollars, but they are extremely bright compared to their predecessors!

And the only one that may have been hit hard is Pixar Animation Studio's "Flying House", which was chased and intercepted by several blockbusters, but finally stopped 600 million knives and failed to rush to 700 million.

The time is very close to the Chinese New Year file, and the film schedule information on the Hollywood side has been announced.

"Bomb Disposal Unit" launched by Walton Pictures is scheduled for December 31, "Kung Fu Panda 2" is scheduled for January 26, and "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" on the Indian branch is scheduled to premiere in India and the United Kingdom on December 18.

However, the public's attention is almost focused on "Avatar", as James Cameron's new 3D work, this work with an investment of up to $500 million has touched the hearts of many people!

Companies such as Fox and Paramount have put a lot of effort into it, and now they are waiting for the release to return to their original needs, and all kinds of publicity activities are simply all over the world!

What's even more exaggerated is that in order to prevent the leakage of "Avatar" before its release, the film was divided into two parts during transportation, codenamed "Redbird".

1-5 rolls are shipped to other countries first, and only after 1-5 rolls of film arrive at their destination, the remaining 6-10 rolls are shipped!

After eating a lot of fresh "melons" and sending a feedback email to Natasha, Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to Hollywood anymore.

The next thing to be launched is the commercial film route, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" and "Iron Man 2" should also meet the audience.

But there's no rush to do this, let's wait for "Avatar" first.

Chen Fei especially wants to see if under the impact of "Inception", "Avatar" can still achieve the excellent results in the original time and space?

Hollywood is constantly fighting for the Chinese New Year, and the same is true for the mainland!

Zhang Yimou's new film "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is almost finished, and he is currently in full swing to cast his third new film "The Thirteen Laps of Jinling", a proper model worker.

Chen Fei couldn't understand him anymore, he was so old, what was the use of working tiring, and in the end, I didn't know whose pocket the money was......

Perhaps because of the soaring market value of Huayi after its listing, more and more people in the mainland have begun to enter the game except for Pony Galloping, Wanda, and Guangguang.

In mid-November, Shanda Network and Mango Radio and Television jointly invested 600 million yuan to jointly establish Maxvision Pictures!

At the press conference, the company announced that it would jointly invest in the filming of a new version of the TV series "Huanzhu Gege" and the movie "Star Change" with Mango Satellite TV and Modu Chuangyi Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

As a hot spot under Shanda Literature, "Star Change" has been adapted into an online game, and the announcement of the auction plan will make it an interactive entertainment product with multiple industrial forms of collection, games and movies.

After the news was announced, a wave of turbulence was set off in the online literature circle!

Looking at the huge amount of money made by "I Eat Tomatoes", other authors such as "The Three Youths of the Tang Family", "Dream into the Divine Machine", "Dancing", "Cat Greasy" and so on couldn't sit still, and they all set their sights on copyright development, looking forward to making a lot of money with it!

But these have nothing to do with Chen Fei, he has already started to lay out in advance, and let the bullets ...... now Keep flying!

"The key period has arrived, is it still renewed?"

In late November, Han Sanping called Chen Fei and asked if "Inception" would continue to be played?

"How much more will there be at the new box office?"

"Around 200-3 million, the sharp drop is very strong, and it is estimated that it will fall to more than 1 million in less than a week."

"Then forget it, don't continue it, leave the opportunity to those movies in the Chinese New Year file."

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to send a notice, and you can see over there, whether you want to follow up and do the final publicity ......"

"Okay!" Chen Fei nodded, called Natasha, and asked the publicity department to cooperate.

After ending the call with Han Sanping, early the next morning, China Film officially announced the successful release of "Inception".

"The mainland box office is 1.568 billion, a new chapter of commercial films, and the excellent performance of "Inception" ......"

Looking at this data, the CEOs of several companies have red eyes, and even the saliva behind their backs is about to "tick and tick" on the table.

1.568 billion!

Hollywood movies are also making money!

You must know that the total box office of Chinese films last year was only 4.5 billion, which is still the result of dozens of movies combined.

But now?

Chen Fei alone made a mainland box office of 1.568 billion yuan, which is simply unbelievable!

As for the global box office, it's even more terrifying!

$1.735 billion!

This data is not far from the 1.8 billion US dollars of "Titanic", and it can even be said that it is close at hand.

Many people are actually ready and waiting for the moment to witness the miracle!

But before that, they had to go to the celebration banquet held by China Film for "Inception".

The venue of the celebration banquet was chosen in the CPPCC auditorium.

Celebrities from all walks of life were present, and the media, reporters, and paparazzi stood against the wall of security guards, one after another, for fear that they would not be able to take wonderful pictures.

There are even people on Weibo who are complacent because they got the invitation, and a bunch of people like it, and their envy is overflowing.

Chen Fei was blocked as soon as he entered the venue, and finally got rid of a bunch of reporters, and was stopped by the bosses of several film and television companies for a long time.

When he finally found a chance to sit down, Ye Ning held a glass of red wine and sat down beside him.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, you are about to be promoted to the most profitable boss in the world."

"Mr. Ye is not bad, CEO of Wanda Pictures, the scenery is infinite."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After chatting a few words, Ye Ning looked around and made sure that no one was coming this way, and then he talked about the purpose of chatting with Chen Fei.

"Wanda's downstream industry has basically stabilized, and we officially entered the upstream industry last month, with the purpose of comprehensively carrying out film investment, production and distribution business!"

Chen Fei listened to him quietly, waiting for him to express his true purpose.

"We have money and cinema resources, and I know that these are nothing to Mr. Chen now, because as long as you wave your hand, some people are willing to vote.

But I think if the two of us can join forces, we may be able to create extraordinary results, and the production and cinema chain are the strengths of our two companies, and our cooperation can completely crush other companies......"

Ye Ning said a lot, and even drew a beautiful blueprint for Chen Fei.

"We only contribute money, resources, and profits, and the right to speak is completely dominated by Director Chen, and we will never interfere in any arrangements......"

This sentence shows Wanda's highest sincerity, and it also gives Chen Fei enough respect!

"Mr. Ye, are you interested in playing domestic hard sci-fi with me? Let's see if the water is deep or shallow? ”

Hearing this, Ye Ning was slightly stunned.

After a moment, he asked tentatively, "Is it the Gravity movie?" ”

"That's right." Chen Fei nodded and said bluntly: "If all aspects are suitable, I can be the protagonist, and use my personal influence to try to push the domestic sci-fi film outward." ”

"Of course interested!!"

Ye Ning was immediately overjoyed, this is great news!

Berlin Actor's new film, top investment, domestic sci-fi test masterpiece......

Not to mention China Film, Wanda is also hungry for this type of movie!

……

(ps: the second shift, ask for a monthly pass!! )
