When the crew of "Super 5" was finished, it happened to be July 10th.

In the evening, Wen Ziren specially invited Chen Fei to watch the film together.

The two watched Long Chen's "Kung Fu Dream" with Will Smith, which was adapted from the old Hollywood movie "Long Wei Kid", which cost only $25 million, but earned 60 million North American box office in the first week.

It's a pity that because "Kung Fu Dream" was released at the same time as "Twilight 4", it was abused very badly.

But even so, Chen Long still made a lot of money with this movie, and this also gave him the illusion that he seemed to be awesome in North America!

When talking to Chen Fei on the phone before, Chen Long said that he wanted to continue to launch "Rush Hour 4".

The script has actually been written, the investment is almost done, and Chen Long even posted some of it himself, which is all the money he earned from "Zodiac".

However, the asking price of the other actor, Chris Tucker, was too high, and it was not appropriate to negotiate it in a short period of time, so he had to run aground indefinitely.

Speaking of which, that buddy is also enough, he has been reduced to the point where there is no drama to film, but there is still a wave of lion opening his mouth, and I don't know if it is water in my head?

"Chinese Kung Fu, awesome!"

Walking out of the theater, Wen Ziren was still waving his fists very excitedly.

There are not many people like him, after all, when most North American fans watch Chen Long's movies, what they pursue is the thrill of punching!

Chen Long can still move, and the fight scenes in the film are indeed burning enough, but the story is simply sparse, and he mainly relies on his feelings to sell the box office.

Chen Fei is not very interested in this kind of film.

Arriving at the ticket hall, his eyes fell on Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me.

The former is an animated film co-produced by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, and its release date is a week later than "Twilight 4".

When Chen Fei was doing the later stage of "Hunting", he also took time to attend the premiere.

Compared with "Shrek 4" launched by DreamWorks Animation, the story of "Toy Story 3" is much more delicate.

Of course, this may also have a lot to do with the fact that the production of the film lasted about four years.

After watching the third part of this series, even if Chen Fei doesn't have a good impression of Disney, he has to admit that the combination of Disney and Pixar is really TM strong!

The humor, wit, and unparalleled visual impact of this film are the benchmark in the field of animated films!

Even with the influence of "Twilight 4", the latter still got a box office result of $110 million in the first three days of the opening weekend.

There is no doubt that surpassing How to Train Your Dragon and Shrek 4 is inevitable.

After the defeat of Prince of Persia: The Edge of Time, Disney has risen again, and it is still relying on what they do best: animation.

"Wen, you go back first, I want to see this movie."

Chen Fei stood in the ticket hall and pointed to the "Despicable Me" produced by Illumination Entertainment.

"You still like this young ......"

Wen Ziren just wanted to complain, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, Chen Fei seemed to be a senior animation director.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

He doesn't like watching animated movies, and he has shooting work tomorrow, so he has to go back early to rest.

Today is the 13th day of the release of "Despicable Me" in North America, and the audience in the theater is obviously much less, and Chen Fei walked into the theater and saw that there were many empty seats.

He didn't sit according to the position on the movie ticket, but found a position close to the middle with a better line of sight.

The animated film was co-distributed by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment, and Chen Fei was naturally present at the premiere, but he was not able to see the feature film at the time because of other work at hand.

I just have time today, so I just came to study it.

Universal Pictures announced that the three-day box office for the first weekend was $56.38 million, which is about the median range among several films in the same period.

Compared to the investment of less than $90 million, this animated film can definitely make money, and Illumination Entertainment can be regarded as a successful reputation.

"Excuse me, sir, you seem to be sitting in my place?"

"Huh? Sorry……”

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted suddenly.

It's really a coincidence that this horse is so vacant that so many vacant seats can still meet people.

However, when he subconsciously raised his head, he found that he was still an acquaintance!

"Gal Gadot?"

“Fei？”

The two looked at each other, and they were a little stunned.

"You sit down first." Chen Fei gave her a place and sat down on another empty seat beside her, "It's so late, are you alone?" ”

The night here in North America is not like in China, where homeless people are everywhere and the risk factor is high.

"Uh-huh, yes, I have a car." Gadot explained briefly.

In fact, her role has already been filmed a long time ago, but it is only because she has to wait for Chen Fei to join the group that she will finish it so late.

Tomorrow she's flying to Florida to promote Tom Cruise's new movie, Danger Agent, so she thought she'd finish watching the animated movie before leaving.

She likes animated movies very much, as long as it is an animated movie that is in theaters in North America, she will pay attention to it, and she will find a chance to watch it no matter what.

And the reason why I don't go to the movie theater in Florida is very simple.

The chaos on the streets over there during the day is higher than at night in Los Angeles, and she has already decided that she will not leave the hotel half a step unless she wants to participate in the promotion of the show!

The exchange between the two did not last long, as the movie began to play.

"Despicable Me" tells the story of Gru's plan to steal the moon, but unexpectedly, the shrinking ray gun that stole the moon is snatched by the new thief Victor, in order to recapture the shrinking ray gun, he decides to adopt three orphans, take advantage of their opportunity to enter Victor's heavily guarded castle to sell cookies, and then commit the theft!

The story is very creative, the plot is vivid and interesting and not complicated, with a warm family theme and the cute appearance of the Minions, it has caused many laughs from the audience.

The 95-minute film came to an end before you knew it.

Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Lighting Entertainment and Universal Pictures have made a lot of money this time!" ”

He is a reborn party, so he naturally knows that this animated film will continue to release multiple sequels.

What is a little enviable is that the investment in the series of movies "Despicable Me" is not very high, and it is not taking the 3D route that has been very hot recently, it simply relies on the story to win.

"What do you think of this animated movie?" Chen Fei turned his head to look at Gal Gadot.

After being slightly stunned, Gal Gadot pondered for a while, and then replied: "Very good, I personally think it is more innovative than "Shrek 4", but it is not as strong as "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "How to Train Your Dragon" in terms of picture effect and texture.

Of course, if you compare all the animated movies released this year, my personal favorite is probably "Toy Story 3". ”

is a very objective evaluation, Chen Fei has no room for refutation.

Walking out of the theater, the two soon came to the outside of the theater.

Gadot pulled out the car keys and pressed the door of a Porsche Cayenne, which she bought for the Super 4.

"You... Didn't drive a car? She turned her head to look at Chen Fei, her face showing a little curiosity.

"I came with James Win, he abandoned me, and went back by himself, it's okay, you go first, I'll take a taxi."

It was almost 12 p.m., the roads were empty, and there were no taxis in sight.

Chen Fei was a little helpless, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the driver, and asked him to come and pick him up.

But at this moment, Gadot suddenly said, "Where do you live?" Why don't I send it? ”

"I live in Beverly, are you stopping by?"

"Huh! It just so happened that I booked a hotel over there. ”

Since it was a hitchhiker, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to refuse.

Pulling the passenger door, he sat straight up.

It's just that when Gal Gadot sat on the driver's side, perhaps because the range of movement was too large, a small box suddenly fell out of the pocket of her jacket.

Chen Fei's gaze was drawn to the past, and then ...... Both people in the car were stunned.

Because, that box is used for chewing gum!

Gal Gadot's face suddenly turned slightly red, she actually didn't know what she did this morning, the gum was still in her mouth, but after the shooting, it went to his mouth, so that the two were still a little embarrassed when they met just now.

And now, it seems to be even more embarrassing!

"Haha, this candy tastes pretty good." Chen Fei made a round.

"Do you still want to eat?" Gal Gadot's brain was hot, and she suddenly asked a question that made her blush.

Still want to eat......

Is it to eat the sugar in the box?

Or eat the candy in her mouth?

Chen Fei was also slightly stunned, this question was asked, did he want to eat? Still is...... Want to eat?

"Yes."

Eventually, he nodded and gave a definite answer.

Bang!

The door was gently closed by Gal Gadot, and the faint lights in the car slowly went out, so that the surroundings began to become quiet... I can't see my fingers.

The soft, warm touch hits again, and the mint-flavored gum spreads between the lips and then towards the taste buds and then to the heart.

Chen Fei didn't understand it before, what were the two protrusions on the center armrest of the car for?

But tonight he discovered the secret of the design

It turned out to be used as an auxiliary exercise for drivers and passengers!

"The Porsche designers were really thoughtful."

Chen Fei sighed again and again, and then attracted a burst of powder fist massage from Gadot.

What a badass, actually ...... She actually did nearly two hours of exercise in the car, so that she was too tired to drive.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Fei drove Gal Gadot to the airport in a Porsche, and then returned to Walton Pictures.

The secretary went to help him find the monthly box office data report of "Twilight 4", and he himself logged on to the domestic film and television information network.

Yesterday happened to be the day of the premiere of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2" starring Huang Xiaoming, no, the media announced the first-day box office data early in the morning.

6,000,000 ......

Miserable!

It's miserable!

Chen Fei casually flipped through the comments, and immediately burst out happy.

"It's just a piece of shit!"

"Made, I kind of found out, most of these feelings are bad movies, they can't be worse!"

"Damn, Huang Xiaoming, can you have a snack? Don't they all have their own studios? If you make this kind of film, you are not afraid of the closure of the studio? ”

It's really hard to return favors, especially in the entertainment industry, and sometimes you even have to take your own future!

Liu Dehao, Xu Zheng, and now that Sect Leader Huang has also fallen, I don't know who will be next?

"Boss, you want a data report."

The female secretary walked in with high heels and handed a data sheet to Chen Fei.

Today happens to be a month after the release of "Twilight 4", and the mainland has officially withdrawn from theaters last night, with a box office of 680 million yuan.

According to the data report, the North American box office has officially exceeded $400 million to $418 million.

The total global box office has reached $950 million, which is very close to $1 billion, and there are still many regions that have just been released at this time, and it is easy to break $1 billion.

"Alice in Wonderland" is quite fierce over there, and the box office has broken $1 billion, but in the end it is fixed at $1.058 billion, and there is almost no room for growth.

According to Chen Fei's prediction, "Twilight 4" will definitely surpass it by a large margin, and trample it under its feet!

Disney's box office results this year are indeed eye-catching, but it's just the light of fireflies, and it's still a big cut away from Walton Pictures!

The global box office of "Iron Man 2" is 879 million US dollars, the total global box office of "Super Body" has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and "Thor" has been catching up, and now it has a total box office of 480 million US dollars, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 500 million.

In the second half of the year, there are also three movies: "Twilight 5", "The Hunger Games", and "Hunting".

Just ask, how does it chase after the six major Hollywood ones? What to chase?

Can you run a speeding train on just two legs?

They can't catch up even if they're tired!

And in addition to the movie, on the other hand, "Game of Thrones Season 2" and "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" led by Marvel Entertainment also landed on Netflix and Hulu at the same time, triggering a new round of carnival and subscription among fans.

As long as you flip through the major rating websites, you can see all kinds of comments on these two dramas everywhere.

"Game of Thrones exudes from head to toe with a masculine smell mixed with blood and fire, and I love it so much!"

"Compared with the first season a year ago, the second season first has a more brilliant performance in terms of picture quality and image style, and the special effects are very good, and I hope it can be maintained."

"The plot of the second season has developed more fully and compactly in terms of contradictions and conflicts, and the consistent ups and downs of the series, the characteristics of no one and extreme reversal have still been well carried forward, especially the detailed description of tension like a whirlpool, which has deeply captured my heart!"

"When I first watched the trailer of "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", I was deeply attracted by the violent and bloody scale, and I started watching it as soon as it was launched, and sure enough, it was very much in line with my hobby!"

"The power of violence + affection is too strong! Oh! I was fascinated by it! ”

"The computer-generated effects may look a little fake, but looking a little fake is part of this particular aesthetic, a bit like a synthesizer in pop music, which is fantastic, and the fight scenes include a lot of slow motion to better show the deformation impact of steel on the flesh, and the visual effect is really cool!"

The investment in both dramas is not low, and none is less than $70 million.

But in the same way, high investment has also brought high returns, and the cost has been recovered within half a month of being launched, and now it is making a lot of money!

Isaac Perlmuttert, president of Marvel Entertainment, said in an interview with the media that the scripts for the third season of "Game of Thrones" and the second season of "Spartacus" are in place, and preliminary preparations will begin in the second half of the year.

At the same time, he also said that Marvel Entertainment will launch a new series "Shameless" next year, as well as many TV series and comics based on the Marvel movie.

After the press release was published by the media, it immediately triggered a wave of amazement and envy in Hollywood.

"Marvel this year... It's a lot of money! ”

Wendy Deng, the proprietress of Twentieth Century Fox, looked at the press release and sighed with emotion.

Last year's "Inception" was good enough, even if it was finally surpassed by their "Avatar" produced by Twentieth Century Fox, but Walton Pictures must have made a lot of money from it.

And this year it's even more exaggerated!

The Hunger Games, Twilight, Superbody, the Marvel superhero series, several animated films......

While thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel a little admiration and admiration for the young man in her heart.

Even if the two sides are competitors, this does not affect her appreciation of Chen Fei in the slightest.

Turning her head to look at her old and useless husband, her eyes suddenly showed a little dissatisfaction that was difficult to hide.

"Lisa, help me send Fei an invitation to the party."

She felt pretty good about herself, and if she could, she might have had a beautiful encounter with that young, strong, handsome man.

It's a pity that her invitation was thrown into the trash directly by Chen Fei.

"Help me refuse."

Chen Fei crossed Erlang's legs and commanded the secretary.

Wendy Dun's cocktail party?

Who would like to go to a drinking party with an old woman to chat?

Pei Zhuxian's visa has been completed, and she couldn't wait to contact Chen Fei and said that she wanted to travel to the United States.

How nice a little little sister is!

Good figure, good looks, good temperament, and intimate ......

Old woman, get out of the way!

In China, "The Great Earthquake" sent an invitation to the premiere.

However, Chen Fei is not ready to go back, he still has to stay here to attend the premiere of "Captain America", as the third superhero movie launched by Marvel this year, he also has extremely high expectations.

……

(PS: The second change, ask for a monthly pass!! ）
