Not surprisingly, the next day, all kinds of news about Nortel's school anniversary began to charge the major entertainment news pages.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the photo of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei rushing to the school celebration site together.

The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful......

Walking together is a mess!

There were even a lot of CP fans on the Internet, who ran to the bottom of the duo's Weibo to post and persuade, "It's such a match, or we can get together." ”

Followed by the group photo of Nortel's director department, when they saw Chen Fei standing in the middle of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, many people in the industry and outside the industry only felt a shock in their hearts, and their admiration was beyond words.

Jiang Wen even made a special call, "Haha, you took this photo quite well, a young guy is standing in the middle of so many old men, and they don't know whether they are ashamed or not." ”

Lao Jiang was also preparing to apply for the Nortel Performance Department a long time ago, but he was brushed down because of his appearance, and since then he has been a little worried.

Now when I saw the photos of Nortel's school anniversary, I was immediately excited when I saw a group of old guys who didn't look down on him being crushed by Chen Fei.

Chen Fei said slowly, "I don't know about others, anyway, Lu Chuan will definitely not be able to raise his head." ”

"Hahaha!"

There was an instant burst of laughter on the other end of the line.

You must know that Lu Chuan is classified as one of the sixth generation of Chinese directors, but in the group photo, his position is far away from the sixth generation.

There are already people laughing at him on the Internet, and a director with a deep background has been mixed up to such a point, which can be regarded as unique.

A good hand is simply a mess!

……

The filming progress of "Gravity" is not slow, and many old actors who came to make cameos almost all left with a missed face.

The degree of cooperation on the side of the space agency is very high, and the requirements that can be met are almost met, and the main one does not refuse!

Even places like rocket launch pads were incorporated into the shooting scene, and they were left to set up and shoot all kinds of details at will.

Of course, some classified locations must have been covered up in advance, and the scene was full of cameras and security guards, and no one dared to make the slightest move.

"How? Can this work intensity still hold up? ”

At lunchtime, Chen Fei found Guo Fan and asked him if he could adapt to the current shooting speed.

"It's okay, I can bear it."

Guo Fan smiled very reluctantly, the intensity of work here is completely two levels from when he filmed "The Adventures of Li Xianli".

Quality and speed go hand in hand, almost day and night......

It's also thanks to his youth, if he lets an elderly director direct, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to enter the ICU.

But then again, he really admired Chen Fei.

Wearing a spacesuit weighing more than 100 pounds, he is looking for the right lens again and again in a weightless environment, and his physical strength is like a bull in estrus!

Liu Dehao, who partnered with him and played less roles than him, is already recognized as a "dedicated representative" in the circle, but after comparing with him, he was simply abused!

"Okay, if you can bear it, continue, get it done as soon as possible, and have a good year."

Chen Fei patted Guo Fan's shoulder and walked to the spacesuit next to him again.

This movie is almost all his one-man show.

In the vastness of the universe, he wears a spacesuit and tries to find a way home, with the perilous satellite debris around him and the blue earth beneath his feet......

The main thing is a hard sci-fi and strong shock!

After the box office of "Heart Flower Road" broke one billion, Chen Fei didn't care much about the follow-up.

The box office potential has almost been exhausted, and now the daily box office is only 10 million, and he can't see it very much.

Wu Yu and Liu Weiqiang: "You are high!" You're amazing! ”

At the same time, as the popularity of "Heart Flower Road" gradually declined, Huayi also launched the publicity activities of "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire".

The schedule in November is not too tight, and the only one who can compete with them is the "New Shaolin Temple" produced by the temple, and the difference between the two schedules is 19 days, and the competition is not particularly big.

As for "Twilight 5", which entered the market as an imported film, this is not within the scope of comparison...... Because there is no qualification to compare at all!

The two brothers of the Wang family are now looking forward to it, and the box office of "Di Renjie" should be as high as possible, so that after the stock ban is lifted, they can make money.

The premiere invitation has been sent to Chen Fei, after all, he is also one of the producers, although the investment is relatively low, but he can also share the money from it.

And the most important thing is that "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" should be regarded as the first big special effects business after the establishment of "Dianjing Digital", if the box office and response are good enough after the release, the orders will naturally be endless!

"New Shaolin Temple" also sent an invitation to the premiere in advance, but Chen Fei was not ready to go.

The reason is simple, "Twilight 5" produced by Walton Pictures will also have its world premiere event in November.

He is also the screenwriter of the Twilight series, and this is the last part of the Twilight series, so he, the "boss", naturally has to participate.

In fact, in the original arrangement, "Twilight 5" was to be released in December, but considering that there was still "The Hunger Games" in December, it had to be moved forward.

The operation of "fighting left and right" can only be put in TV series or movies, and if you do it in reality, it is pure evil.

However, the competition in North America in November is much bigger than in China, not only "Tangled", but also "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I".

Walton Pictures' feud with Warner Bros. and Walt Disney is about to begin again.

The three can be said to not admit defeat to each other, just waiting for a showdown!

Chen Fei didn't know what the other two families thought in their hearts, anyway, he didn't coax it at all.

"Act 4" grossed 418 million in North America and $1.1 billion worldwide, and was full of praise after its release.

Now that the last film in the Twilight series is here, even if it's for the sake of feelings, the support from fans won't be small.

His goal is still $1 billion!

……

……

During the filming of "Gravity", Chen Fei did not forget to pay attention to various hot news of domestic entertainment.

In addition to a few Chinese New Year movies from time to time to send out some stills, film flowers or something for promotion, the most lively thing these days is the news about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

The new picture is not willing to stop at all, and it will have to make some big moves every few days.

Previously, when Zhang Yimou was a guest on a talk show, he made it clear that this movie will use all newcomers, just like the previous "Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

But he had just set the tone, and a few days later, Zhang Weiping jumped out and said that he was going to audition publicly, wanting to exchange the remaining roles that had not yet been decided to famous artists in the circle.

Neither the producer nor the director can unify the caliber, which is a joke!

People in the circle who know what kind of virtue Zhang Weiping is are already watching the excitement, but if nothing else, Zhang Yimou will have to "surrender" in the end.

"After all these years, he never seems to have resisted?" Ning Hao said that he was very puzzled, such a big director, why are you egging him on? It's a big deal to go it alone, are you Zhang Yimou still afraid that you won't be able to attract investment?

Even Brother Chen Kai, who has repeatedly failed, can find investors again and again, and a big director like Lao Mouzi will definitely not be abandoned by insiders.

Chen Fei laughed, "Do you think it's possible that Lao Mouzi's ID card was deducted by Zhang Weiping?" ”

"Damn, this is not a black workshop, and the ID card is deducted......"

Ning Hao suddenly fell silent as he spoke, after all, according to the current cooperative relationship between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, Lao Mouzi seemed to be more like his ...... Long-term ???

"Forget it, let's watch the movie, whatever."

Ning Hao shook his head, inexplicably Zhang Yimou felt a little worthless.

The rough cut of "Painted Skin 2" has ended, and today is a viewing meeting within Feiyue Film and Television, let's see if there are any problems in the details, which can be pointed out and corrected.

The rough cut is much longer than the film, and it takes a full two hours to finish.

After putting forward some constructive suggestions, Chen Fei got up and was about to continue making his movie, but at this time, Ni Xuelin suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Fei, I'm almost done adapting it, do you want to take a look?"

"Oh?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, didn't think about it, and followed him directly to the screenwriting department.

The main goals of the screenwriting department in the past year are almost all focused on the theme of tomb robbery adventures, more specifically: "Ghost Blows the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes".

The film and television adaptation rights of these two books were won by Feiyue Film and Television very early, and with Chen Fei's approval, Ni Xuelin led the team to start a long film and television script.

More than a year has passed, and it has finally paid off.

Walking into the unique conference room of the screenwriting department, Chen Fei saw the thick stack of scripts at a glance, and the words "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" were written on the cover.

"Give."

Ni Xuelin casually took one of them and handed it to Chen Fei.

At the beginning of the script, it is the first-person narrative of the male protagonist "Hu Bayi", and it is the plot of the paper bride, which focuses on a challenge to review and open up with a face.

Continue to look back, "Money Stealing Rat", "Sixteen Character Feng Shui Secretary" and other plots gradually unfold, which can be described as very eye-catching.

Chen Fei didn't read it carefully, because there were too many contents in it, and if he read it all, he wouldn't have to do anything else today.

He chose to look up at Ni Xuelin and said, "Tell me about your thinking?" ”

"Okay."

Ni Xuelin nodded slightly, he didn't even need to read the script, and came directly to give an off-script speech.

"My idea is this, using the four films of "Exquisite Ancient City", "Longling Maze", "Yunnan Worm Valley" and "Kunlun Divine Palace" as the basis, to make three movie series.

The main line of the first part is based on "The Curse", and "Exquisite Ancient City" is launched.

The main line of the second part is based on "looking for the dust beads", launching "Yunnan Worm Valley", and then integrating the "Longling Grotto" into it, after all, the story of this part of the Longling Grotto is not suitable for the big screen.

The last third part is "Kunlun Shrine" with "lifting the curse" as the main line.

As for the remaining "South China Sea Ruins", "Wuxia Coffin Mountain", "Nuqing Xiangxi", "Huangpizi Tomb", etc., they can be made into separate story units, close to the main line, but they are outside the main line......"

At this time, Chen Fei, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted him, "According to the framework of Ling, is it going to be a ghost blowing lamp IP?" Just like Marvel and DC? ”

"That's right." Ni Xuelin nodded, a little embarrassed, "I do have this idea, but I don't know if it will succeed."

Hollywood has been working on sequels, developing various theme parks and peripherals, but we have been in the backward stage, so I thought about giving it a try. ”

"Yes, if you have this idea, you should be encouraged."

Chen Fei gave him a thumbs up approvingly, eliciting a smirk from him.

Subsequently, the two had an in-depth discussion based on the content of the script.

Based on his experience of making movies in Hollywood, Chen Fei instilled a lot of experience in making blockbuster films in Ni Xuelin, as well as the revision of the content of the script.

"There are some things that need to be adjusted."

Ni Xuelin muttered to himself, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "Brother Fei, I think there are still a lot of things that should be revised in the script, you give me some more time, and I will try to give you a perfect answer at the end of the year." ”

"Okay, don't worry, you can take your time, the start of this project is a bit complicated, it is difficult to do it only with the current domestic market, you have to expand internationally, and I will try my best to cooperate with you in the future."

The current "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is like "Twilight", "The Hunger Games", and "Harry Potter" series, and if you want to make it a movie, this can't be done overnight.

Chen Fei was already brainstorming in his mind.

High investment and international markets are the key to profitability, but there are also cultural barriers, so marketing is the top priority if you want to distribute your film globally.

Originals, comics, anime, ...... These need to be laid in advance.

Why did "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" become popular one after another? Isn't it because the original party is all over the world!

Why did the Marvel series of movies become popular? Isn't it because of the promotion of comics?

Therefore, if "Ghost Blows the Lantern" wants to take the IP incubation route, all the preparations in the early stage are extremely critical, and it takes time.

"By the way, have you got the copyright of the film and television adaptations of the sci-fi books I asked you to buy?" Before leaving, Chen Fei did not forget to ask about the progress of other work.

Ni Xuelin nodded subconsciously, "It's all done, Mr. Liu has a lot of confidence in us, and said that only our company in China has the strength to put his works on the big screen." ”

"Haha, then you remember to convey him, thank him for his trust, and when the time comes to make the script, remember to ask him to help."

"Okay."

Ni Xuelin happily responded, but then he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly called out to Chen Fei, who was about to leave, again, "Brother Fei, you wait, help read this book." ”

Stopping his pace, Chen Fei turned his head curiously, "What book?" ”

Ni Xuelin took out a book from the bookshelf next to him, walked in three steps and two steps, and handed the book over.

"That's it, look at it, the fantasy genre, I feel a little similar to "Twilight", but I don't think the story is good, I don't know if I should buy it."

Chen Fei looked down and saw two big characters written on the cover of the book.

"The Trail of the Lord"

His brows twitched, and he looked through a dozen pages with discomfort, and then closed them directly without hesitation.

"Forget it, the protagonist is too wasteful, even if it is adapted, the effect is not very good."

"Oh, well, then I'm not going to contact the original author."

Ni Xuelin responded, and didn't think much about it, he actually just thought that the story setting of this book was very interesting, as for the plot, it was really bad!

If you buy it, the difficulty of adaptation is estimated to be no smaller, so it is better to focus on "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

～

The time quickly entered the end of October,

The filming of "Gravity" has entered a white-hot stage, and Chen Fei, Guo Fan and the shooting team are even more immersed in the crew day and night, and they are shooting!

At the same time, the daily box office growth of "Heart Flower Road" finally fell below 10 million, and began to hover back and forth in the range of seven or eight million.

But on Saturday and Sunday, there will be another wave of reversal, soaring directly to more than 10 million, and many people in the industry are eyebrows.

"Your movie is really fierce!"

When Xu Ke came to visit the class, he also began to learn Jiang Wen's foul language, and he did not hide his inner envy.

The box office of "Heart Flower Road" will have exceeded 1.1 billion, and according to the current growth trend, it should finally be able to complete the end on the figure of 1.2 billion.

Ren Zhonglun is sharpening his knife and is already preparing for the celebration banquet.

Chen Fei said while wearing a spacesuit: "Haha, I also wish your movie a big hit." ”

"Are you going to the premiere of "Di Renjie" tomorrow?"

"Definitely, I also have a share of this film, how can I be absent?"

"That's good."

Xu Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know why, he wasn't nervous at all with Chen Fei in charge, but if it was just the big and small king, he would inexplicably feel very floating in his heart.

Huayi put a lot of hard work into this premiere, and almost all the people in the industry were invited, and the scene was no worse than the premiere of "Heart Flower Road".

When Chen Fei walked on the red carpet, he once again became the focus of media attention.

Many reporters are asking about "Gravity" and "Heart Flower Road", but he did not answer, after all, today is the premiere of "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven".

Liu Dehao came over early, he is the protagonist, and he must not be absent.

Wang Zhongjun was interviewed by the media as a producer.

"What is Mr. Wang's box office expectation for this movie?"

"Let's try to catch up with 'The Great Earthquake.'"

Wang Zhonglei is not very confident in what he said, after all, this movie is not chartered, and it is definitely impossible for a screening hall to be full of acquaintances from the same unit, which means that the box office results depend on the quality of the movie.

Chen Fei was also interviewed as a co-producer.

"Can Director Chen predict the box office results?"

"I hope I can surpass 3 and chase 4."

Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting in the audience, was inexplicably a little unhappy.

It's also a great director! Do you brag about it all the only way to brag?

He himself thought that the box office of this movie could break 500 million!

……

After Di Renjie's premiere, October officially ended.

On November 1, "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" officially landed in mainland theaters and was fully released.

At the same time, "Heart Flower Road" was also officially offline.

China Film announced the box office results of "Heart Flower Road" early in the morning.

30-day total box office: 1.215 billion RMB!

As soon as the news was announced, all kinds of news emerged in an endless stream, and platforms such as inside and outside the circle, post bar, and Weibo were even more discussed!

"Damn, is the blockbuster era coming? 1.2 billion! That's awesome, isn't it? ”

"Director Chen is really strong, he can be regarded as the best at small-budget comedy."

""Mulan" has occupied the box office throne of domestic films for 2 years, and it has just been broken by "The Great Earthquake", and it was snatched back by "Heart Flower Road", haha, Director Chen is really good at playing."

"That's a terrible number, and I don't know when it's going to be broken?"

"Isn't Huayi saying that the box office expectation of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is 1 billion? Maybe it's going to break? ”

"Listen to them blow? I feel that the next one to break 1 billion should be "Gravity", with an investment of more than 600 million, it's scary to think about! ”

"Let's wait and see..."

……

(ps: The first change, ask for a monthly pass!! )
