437. The preparations are progressing very smoothly, and I went to Venice, "There is a dragon spring on the tongue, and there is no blood in the killing!" ”
is worthy of being a state-owned enterprise, and Han Sanping's efficiency is called high.
On the 25th, Chen Fei was invited to the space bureau and met a leader who often speaks on the news channel.
"I read your script, it's very good, the idea is new, the subject matter is high-quality, and the vision is quite promising...... We will definitely support this kind of project, I have said hello to the bureau and the group, no one has any objections, what kind of support do you want, just say, we will not shirk if we can help......"
The leader was very good, his attitude was amiable, and his speech was well-founded and showed a strong willingness to support.
The green light has been opened, and Chen Fei will naturally not stop.
He directly found the person in charge of Dianjing Digital, and spent a few days checking the next shooting plan with the space agency.
Hubble, International Space Station......
The exterior data of these devices is existing and ready to be used, and the modeling and prop design can be carried out smoothly.
Only the data of "Tiangong-1" is now classified, and even the exterior styling is the most secret core of the space agency.
Finally, after discussion, the space agency decided to use the first version of the "Tiangong-1" outline diagram that had been eliminated before to build the "Tiangong-1" space station.
What is not in reality, if it can be made in the movie, it can be regarded as a special kind of "dream come true".
"How long does it take to make the props and scenes for the shoot?"
The leader of one of the teams responsible for cooperating with the film shooting project thought about it and replied, "A month at most." ”
So it's... Booted up in October?
Chen Fei thought for a moment and nodded, "Then it's hard work for everyone." ”
The filming of "Gravity" is actually not complicated, after all, the scene is really very simple, most of the shots are in space, and there are only two actors who leave the country: Chen Fei and Liu Dehao.
However, since the film's footage is almost always filled with various special effects, post-production can be very lengthy.
Chen Fei roughly predicted that the filming of the movie would take two months at most, but I am afraid that the release will have to be on the National Day next year.
Of course, he is not in a hurry.
With such a high investment, he must do a good job in the later stage, otherwise he is likely to face abuse from fans like Liu Zhenwei!
With an investment of 200 million, a "Cyborg" was filmed, which is really difficult to evaluate!
~
Approaching September, with the official release of "The Great Earthquake" from theaters, the publicity of the films "Sword Rain", "Hawthorn Tree Love", "Jingwu Fengyun", and "Heart Flower Road" has gradually entered a white-hot state.
At the same time, several movies that are currently in theaters have also come with good news.
"Embroidered Spring Knife" took the lead in breaking through the box office of 100 million, and is rushing towards 150 million, and it has the highest increase among several movies in the same period.
Lu Yang came to the company several times after promoting the movie, until he got the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Don't rush to shoot, since you have proved yourself with the first part, then you should be more meticulous in the next step and strive for higher box office results."
"Good!"
Lu Yang nodded heavily, full of confidence!
On the other hand, Lu Zheng is also full of confidence.
He never expected that this "My Beauty Boss" would become the first money-owned film since the establishment of Starlight.
Although there is a big gap between the box office and "Embroidered Spring Knife", it is gradually approaching 100 million, as long as Wanda gives more films, it will definitely be able to achieve its goal!
"Tian Tian, you will soon have two movies with a box office of over 100 million this year, which has confirmed that our development path is correct.
When "Warring States" is released next year, we will inevitably be able to create a more brilliant box office result.
Then I will help you contact the capital of Hollywood, "Super Body" is nothing, 40 million US dollars only, we also come out, and it is better than it! ”
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Lu."
Jing Tian had a sweet smile on his face, isn't it Hollywood? She is not envious at all, because she also has the opportunity to go!
……
In addition to these frequently searched mainland movies in August, there are actually many movies in Xiangjiang that have entered the mainland.
For example, "The Informant", which has an investment of up to 150 million.
Directed by Lin Chaoxian, written by Wu Weilun, starring Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jiahui, Lu Yi, and Gui Lunmei...... This is already Xiangjiang's first-line cast, but the box office on the first day was only 4.3 million, which can be described as a mess!
On the other hand, the same is true of "City Alert", which is dominated by light and has an investment of up to 100 million.
Chen Musheng served as the director, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Jingchu, Shu Qi, and Zou Zhaolong joined, and such a lineup only received less than 7 million first-day box office.
When the news spread on the Internet, Chen Fei finally understood why Wang Changtian only took 30 million to shoot "Painted Wall".
100 million smashed into it, and he didn't even splash a little water, and it was already very good that he didn't let him go to the street to set up a stall.
However, the cooperation between the two sides has been very smooth.
After determining the production level of the special effects, the light was very bold and the deposit was called.
Although the follow-up money can only be given after the movie is released, Chen Fei doesn't mind, the horizontal and vertical are only a few million, which is regarded as selling personal favors.
However, there is no such situation on the side of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", after all, Bona is backed by the theater side, and he is also the cousin of China Film, and the most important thing is money.
"Mr. Chen? When are you going to leave for Venice? Xu Ke called and began to ask about his itinerary.
"The night of the 29th."
He has a private jet and can depart whenever he wants, just in time for the opening ceremony on September 1.
"So late?" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We are going to leave on the evening of the 27th, then we will see you at the Venice Film Festival." ”
"Okay, see you in Venice."
Hanging up the phone, Chen Fei casually threw the mobile phone to the side and looked at the entertainment newspapers in his hand with interest.
Approaching September, Chen Fei originally thought that he would see one of Wu Yu and Zhang Wei's review come out first to light the fire and ignite the fire of the box office dispute in September.
But I never expected that Deyun Club would appear as firewood!
Don't look at Lao Guo's smiling and good old man on weekdays, but I didn't expect to dare to hit reporters.
If you take advantage of it, then forget it, but if you don't take advantage of it and beat people, it's not easy to press down, not to mention that the other party is still a reporter from Capital TV.
With this kind of weaving, no one knows who is standing behind it.
The person who did it was directly detained, Lao Guo apologized for the development of the conference, and the news page was full of mocking voices......
That is, this will only be 2010, if this is put in the future, Deyun Club may have to collapse!
There are not many good people who say cross talk, and there are many people who have offended Lao Guo, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the topic and stab him in the back!
…
On the evening of the 29th, Chen Fei calculated the time difference and called Matt Damon.
"I'm ready to go, what about you? Don't miss the red carpet of the opening ceremony, it's also a good publicity opportunity. ”
He was from China, and Matt and the others naturally set off from Los Angeles.
"Fei, don't worry, I've made an agreement with Anne Hathaway and Leonardo, and we'll leave this afternoon."
"Okay, stay safe, I'll be waiting for you in Venice."
After a brief chat, Chen Fei hung up the phone.
He'll be at the airport and waiting for the take-off notice.
When he was bored, he opened Youku and watched a short film recommended to him by Ning Hao, the "melon-eating party".
11 Degrees Youth Series.
There are a lot of people involved in the industry, including Shen Yan, Zhuang Yuxin, and Zhang Yadong, all of whom are well-known figures in the circle.
It's just that if you want to rank these 11 short films, "Old Boy" directed by Xiao Yang can definitely be ranked first.
Able to direct, edit, and act...... With just one short film, it has more than 80 million views on the whole network, if he is given more opportunities, he must not take off directly?
After watching the short film, Chen Fei was just about to turn off the video, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a movie promotional video pop up in the lower right corner!
"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree?"
He raised an eyebrow and opened the short film with curiosity.
The 2 minutes and 36 seconds long trailer can be described as full of sincerity, Lao Mouzi's level of making literary films is really high, and the atmosphere of that era is very sensitive.
It's a pity that Chen Fei has never felt anything about the heroine in the movie.
It's as if there is nothing......
I don't know who will love this one?
What if I have a child in the future?
~
By the time I landed in Venice, it was already dark.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Chen Fei saw Natasha, who had arrived in Venice ahead of schedule, and the team of bodyguards and assistants behind her.
In comparison, Chen Fei is much more "miserable", most of the time he travels with only an assistant, and sometimes even no assistant.
"Morning."
Chen Fei raised his hand and said hello.
"Fei, you're really early."
Natasha yawned, she's been busy promoting the venue and the screening room these days, and she's so busy.
"Haha, it's still early, you can get some sleep when you go back."
Chen Fei laughed and teased her.
In fact, in addition to coming to Venice to do pre-publicity preparations, Natasha also brought him a lot of new news.
For example, the later stage of "Twilight 5" has been completed, and it is officially set for Christmas.
And the total global box office of "Twilight 4" has also surpassed "Alice in Wonderland", officially exceeding $1.1 billion.
As for Marvel, the global box office of "Thor" is fixed at $625 million, and "Captain Rice" has just exceeded $400 million and is charging towards $500 million......
After the report was over, she really went to sleep!
At noon, Matt Damon, Leonardo, Anne Hathaway and others landed at Venice Airport.
Chen Fei built an MPV to pick them up and pulled several people to the hotel.
"You said you're an assistant director, why are you here to join in the fun?" Chen Fei looked at Leonardo curiously and deliberately teased him.
"What happened to the assistant director? Isn't the assistant director not working? I don't care, I'm coming, can you still drive me away? ”
Xiao Lizi showed a look of "I will eat you" on her face, and even shouted that she was going to attend the red carpet ceremony.
Chen Fei couldn't resist him, so he could only agree.
In the afternoon, everyone went to the organizer to sign in, and then there was nothing to do, just wait for the opening ceremony.
Natasha's ability to work is naturally not questioned, and the most conspicuous place in the exhibition hall has been hung with a promotional poster for "The Hunt", ensuring that no one can ignore the film.
Venice is known as the "City of Romance" and is actually a great place to go on a date.
Xiao Lizi has already dragged Matt Damon to hunt for beauty, and I heard that he is going to a bar, which is mysterious.
Chen Fei could only tell them to pay attention to safety measures, but not to contract any incurable diseases, in that case, they would be too sorry for their own Niuniu.
“Fei? Do you want to go out and about? ”
Seeing the two leave, Anne Hathaway launched an invitation to Chen Fei.
"Absolutely." Chen Fei smiled and gladly accepted her invitation.
However, there are always some animals who like to leave their mark on the beautiful country roads.
Just like Wu Yu!
When he saw him at the door of the hotel, Chen Fei subconsciously frowned.
He didn't remember that this guy was on the jury, and "Rain of Swords" didn't make it to Venice, so why did he come here?
The two of them didn't communicate with me the whole time, just looked at each other and then turned their heads sideways.
"Fei, don't you know him?"
Anne Hathaway naturally knew Wu Yu, she was about to say hello just now, but she didn't expect the other party to be fast, and left in a hurry.
"We know, but we're not friends, and he's taunted me online many times."
"Oh! So that's it! ”
Anne Hathaway suddenly realized, no wonder Wu Yu ran so fast just now, it turned out that he was in a hurry to reincarnate.
After a brief stroll around the streets, the two returned to the hotel, no way, this place is almost built on the water, there are too many mosquitoes.
Anne Hathaway wanted to rest first, but Chen Fei didn't feel sleepy, so he went to Xu Ke first.
"Director Chen?!"
"Wow! You're here! ”
"Haha, Director Chen, long time no see."
Comparatively speaking, there are a lot of people from "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", in addition to the two brothers of the Wang family, Liu Dehao, Li Bingbing, Liu Jialing, Deng Chao, and Liang Jiahui are all here.
said hello to everyone, Chen Fei didn't stay here for long, and turned around to find Anne Hathaway.
It's been a long time since we've slept together, and he's still missing.
Xiao Lizi and Matt Damon went to experience the Venetian style, he naturally can't lag too far behind, and the European and American styles are also very good.
……
The red carpet of major film festivals is the perfect place for female stars to compete for beauty, and the Venice Film Festival is no different.
Li Bingbing and Liu Jialing are both very "bold", even if their scale is not big compared to European and American actresses, but they are much bigger than the heroine of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"!
"Director Chen, look here."
"Director Chen, can I interview you here?"
"Director Chen, I wish you the Golden Lion ......"
When the reporter from the mainland saw Chen Fei, he was very kind, especially when he saw that he brought Anne Hathaway, Leonardo, and Matt Damon over, it was even more exciting and difficult to control.
After the interview and photo session, the opening ceremony officially began.
Quentin Tarotino replaced the identity of the host and took the stage to make an opening in person.
One of the opening films was "Jingwu Fengyun Chen Zhen" directed by Liu Weiqiang, and the combination of Donnie Yen and Huang Qiusheng caused many cheers at the scene.
Wu Yu also brought "Sword Rain" and put it at the premiere.
The style of martial arts movies is also one of the genres that Europeans and Americans like, and the media at the scene were very excited, and they actually gave a high score of 9 out of 10 after the end.
Chen Fei seriously suspected that this guy was very likely to spend money, otherwise how could he get such a high viewing score?
Time came to the 3rd in a blink of an eye, and "The Hunt" had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Not only were all the judges present, but even the festival president Marc Müller attended the premiere.
Except for a few judges, the rest of the guests are actually quite curious about the finished film of "Hunting".
Since Chen Fei is confident that he will use it to participate in the selection of the Venice Film Festival, the quality of the film should be very good.
Wu Yu also came to the premiere today.
To be honest, his curiosity about the movie is also quite high.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, he has to say that "No Man's Land" and "Thief Family", which won the Golden Bear before, are very good movies, and this also means that Chen Fei's level and attainments in the field of literary and artistic feature films are extremely high.
Although he had already greeted Quentin in advance, hoping that he could get in the way, it was still unknown whether he would succeed.
Although Quentin is constantly manipulating and likes to "be virtuous and not avoid relatives", if the quality of the film "Hunting" is very high, he will not be able to convince other judges to engage in black-box operations.
What's more, the Venice organizers won't allow him to do this, unless he fights this old face and doesn't want it at all!
The movie soon opens, with Matt Damon's character "Lucas" working in a nursery school, and his kind-hearted character is quickly loved by his colleagues and children......
When the film was played here, everyone was still a little confused, it didn't seem like a realistic movie?
Soon, however, all the good things vanished with the precocious girl's show of love!
The vindictive lie drove Lucas into the abyss, labeling him a "devil".
The suspicion of the girlfriend, the anger of the friend, the distrust of the ex-wife, the death of the dog, the malice of the stranger...... Darkness enveloped Lucas like a mist, and he nearly collapsed!
"But I don't have a basement in my house."
When this line lingered in everyone's ears, everyone felt chills all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but shiver.
The evil of human nature is vividly exuded at this moment!
Even if the little girl confided the truth in the end, the "malice" shrouded around him still did not dissipate, and the last cold gun is the best proof.
At the end of the film, there was silence!
Wu Yu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and two words popped out of his mind inexplicably.
"A dignified seven-foot body, don't listen to a three-inch tongue."
"There is a dragon spring on the tongue, and there is no blood when you kill people!"
At this moment, a deep helplessness suddenly appeared in his heart.
Who can stop him from winning such a film?
