Chen Fei didn't stay in North America for long, and after the first-week box office results of "Twilight 5" came out, he returned to China by private jet to continue filming "Gravity".

It's just that although others have left North America, all kinds of news and hot news have not been left behind.

At the end of the week, the total global box office of "Twilight 5" went straight to 600 million dollars, ranking fourth in the year, directly crushing "Despicable Me".

Old man Woody Allen is also honorably retired this time, with the help of the Twilight series, his personal total box office went straight to 5 billion US dollars, tied with Peter Jackson,

It's just that Old Peter is not ready to end his career as a director, I heard that he is preparing the "Hobbit" series recently, and he is going to dig deep into the big IP of "The Lord of the Rings".

On the other hand, following the end of "Avatar 1", Cameron announced in front of the media that he would start the filming of "Avatar 2" on a selected date.

A spokesman for Warner Bros. even said that more than one sequel will be filmed in the future.

And according to the box office calculation of 2 billion+ for each sequel, Cameron's personal total box office goal is to directly target 10 billion US dollars!

Of course, Chen Fei is not far from this number.

Hollywood media are already starting to analyze, which of these two will first raise the total personal box office to more than 10 billion?

As for Spielberg, who still occupies the first place in the global total personal box office with 7.76 billion dollars, he is 64 years old at this time, and the golden age of directing has passed.

According to the analysis of the media, it is estimated that it is impossible for him to create another box office myth.

However, the life of Kaihang is always more exciting, anyway, until Chen Fei was reborn, Spielberg still ranked No. 1 in the world with a total personal box office score of 10.6 billion US dollars!

"Twilight 5" has achieved extremely good results not only abroad, but also in the mainland.

It took only 5 days for the mainland box office to exceed 700 million, and once again trampled "The Great Earthquake" under its feet.

When China Film announced the box office results, the media rushed to the top and impatiently issued a press release, in a vain attempt to seize a wave of popularity.

"The total box office of "Twilight 5" in the mainland exceeded 700 million, and it took only 5 days, and "The Great Earthquake" ushered in a second overtake."

"The Twilight series officially ended, and the screenwriter was Chinese director Chen Fei......"

"A perfect work of thanksgiving."

"The total box office of "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" exceeded 200 million on the 10th, losing to Hollywood movie ......"

""New Shaolin Temple" said that it will crush "The Great Earthquake", "Heart Flower Road", and "Twilight 5" with a strong lineup, and the box office results are 1 billion, please wait and see......"

What the media is best at is pulling up and down, and with the box office of "Twilight 5" rising, other movies in the same period have been pulled out for comparison.

Xu Ke is okay here, he knows that his movie will have a box office of 300 million at most, so he didn't make any response.

On the contrary, Feng Xiaogang's side can be said to be full of complaints!

When "Heart Flower Road" appeared, it stepped on "The Great Earthquake", and now "Twilight 5" has stepped on the "Great Earthquake" again!

It's okay to step on him in these two movies, who made him inferior at the box office?

But what the hell is your "New Shaolin Temple"? A group of old bald donkeys also dare to touch the porcelain "The Great Earthquake"?

Feng Xiaogang, who has the title of "Cannon", suddenly couldn't help it, and fired a shot directly at "New Shaolin Temple" on Weibo.

"The Buddha often said, 'My Buddha only has a fateful person', but who would have thought that his descendants of his disciples would listen to the split, and they would hear it as 'My Buddha only has a Yuan person', which is really ridiculous."

Chen Fei, who was filming, received a call from Ning Hao and asked him to watch fun on Weibo.

Chen Fei was a little stunned at first, what fun was there on Weibo?

And when he saw the hot search No. 1 "Feng Xiaogang angrily scolded "New Shaolin Temple", he was even more happy for a long time without stopping, "It is worthy of Feng Cannon, this cannon can be bombarded in place." ”

At the same time, on the other side, Brother Chen Kai, who had the same temper as Feng Dacang, was not to be outdone.

As December approached, "Zhao's Orphan" also entered the publicity period, and Chen Kaige began to lead the main creative members of the crew to frequently appear on major programs.

Because Fan Bingbing was there, reporters inevitably mentioned another movie "Heart Flower Road" starring her.

In the face of this new "1.2 billion box office heroine", a male reporter who deliberately wanted to arch the fire at that time asked a very sharp question.

"Fan Bingbing, have you ever thought about marrying into a wealthy family after retiring from the film in the future like other female stars?"

As soon as this question appeared, Fan Bingbing knew who he was talking about.

Isn't it Zhao Yanzi, who is known as "marrying into a wealthy family"? Hehe, the person she married is embarrassed to be called a wealthy family?

Thinking that he only played one maid in "Huanzhu Gege", Fan Ye was immediately unhappy, and replied directly: "I'm sorry, I never thought about marrying into a wealthy family, because I am a wealthy family myself!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was a sensation!

Journalists can think of tomorrow's hot search headlines!

Seeing that the arch fire effect was excellent, the reporter aimed at Brother Chen Kai again, "Director Chen, after the box office failures of "Wuji" and "Mei Lanfang", do you have any expectations for the box office results of "Zhao's Orphan"? ”

The box office has always been a pain in Director Chen's heart!

Now hearing someone mention this time, Chen Kaige suddenly smiled, ""Zhao's Orphan" is a classic costume historical drama, if you only talk about the box office, it is too vulgar, what I am pursuing now is word-of-mouth, praise, awards, ......"

The reporter was obviously not satisfied with his reply, but chose to continue handing the knife.

"If there is another one-sided scolding like 'Wuji', how will you respond?"

These words blew up Brother Chen Kai, and he immediately said angrily: "I never think that "Wuji" is a bad movie, it's just that you can't understand it, in another ten years, you look back, good works need to be precipitated......"

Not surprisingly, the next day's interview with Fan Bingbing and Chen Kaige appeared on the Weibo hot search list, and occupied the top three hot searches together with "Feng Xiaogang's angry "New Shaolin Temple""!

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Chen Fei and Jiang Wen, who came to visit the class, looked at Weibo together, and felt like they were eating melons.

……

In December, it quickly entered the middle of the year, and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" also officially landed in North American theaters, although it had a certain impact on "Twilight 5", but the former's North American box office trend was extremely poor.

Three days after its release, the box office was only 110 million, less than half of the box office results of "Curtain Light 5"!

And because of the reason that the ending is divided into two parts, "upper" and "lower", Warner, as the producer, can be said to be controversial!

They didn't seem to be convinced, and pulled out "Twilight" for comparison, saying that the operation of the upper and lower parts was first made by Walton Pictures, and they were just learning from and learning.

However, this argument is clearly untenable.

After Chen Fei's drastic adaptation, the fourth and fifth parts of Twilight's side are already two completely different story lines, not a very blunt division of Harry Potter.

The stock price of Warner Bros. Pictures has even ushered in a wave of plummeting because of this disgusting fan operation!

"Launching a new work? Stocks falling? ”

Chen Fei was still a little stunned when he received the call from Natasha, this operation was really no one.

"That's right, we have to take this as a warning in the future, it's really scary, it fell so hard, hundreds of millions of dollars evaporated overnight."

"You deserve it, it's not such a fool to fool fans."

Chen Fei shook his head and didn't pay any more attention.

was originally a competitor, but he was quite happy that Warner's stock price had fallen.

～

The filming of "Gravity" has come to an end, and Liu Dehao's role has been completed, and only Chen Fei's own one-man show is left.

He needs to use special equipment to simulate the process of falling from space, and then he is successfully rescued.

Guo Fan does have two brushes for making science fiction films, and after the filming comes to an end, he has become an experienced veteran, and various details are deeply appreciated by Chen Fei.

"After the filming of this movie, the company will not arrange other jobs for you, and you will follow along when you do special effects and post-production, so it never hurts to learn more."

"Okay, no problem."

Guo Fan nodded busily, his eyes full of anticipation.

There were a lot of people who called and wanted to come over to visit the crew, but Chen Fei didn't refuse very indifferently, he only had one request, that is, he couldn't bring strangers in.

Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, and Shu Zhan must not be regarded as strangers, but Tang Yan's arrival made Chen Fei feel a little surprised.

"Director Chen, my contract with Orange Sky has expired, and I am now a member of the Flying Shadow Emperor's agency."

"Oh!?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this girl was already out of the sea of suffering.

But soon, he noticed that the interaction between Luo Jin and Tang Yan seemed to be too frequent, and even ...... Crooked?

"Hey? You two aren't going to talk, are you? ”

Luo Jin didn't deny it, nor did he mean to hide it, he nodded slightly and said, "It's in contact." ”

Tang Yan on the side was slightly red and looked a little shy.

Zhu Yawen quipped on the side: "The building near the water is the first to get the moon, these two people are now in the same brokerage company, but they are tired of it!" ”

"What about you?" Chen Fei turned his head and led the topic to him.

"I'm not in a hurry." Zhu Yawen shrugged her shoulders, looking very indifferent, and threw the topic back, "Hehe, when you make it public, I'll find a girlfriend to stabilize and rub your popularity by the way." ”

"Then you have to wait!"

He doesn't care, Chen Fei doesn't care.

Anyway, there is no shortage of women around him, and he hasn't had enough fun now, so he will talk about it when he wants the prodigal son to turn back.

～

On the 19th, that is, the day of the release of "New Shaolin Temple", Bona and Xu Ke made a wave of big news.

The 3D martial arts blockbuster "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" with an investment of 35 million US dollars was officially announced!

Because the special effects were cooperated with Dianjing Digital, coupled with Xu Ke's warm invitation, Chen Fei also went to participate in the start-up ceremony.

"Why did you choose to start it today?"

Looking at Xu Ke's happy appearance, Chen Fei asked curiously.

"Today is an auspicious day for the zodiac!" Xu Ke said as he spoke, and added with a smile and in a low voice: "The big monk over there said that today is a very good day, and Mr. Yu is thinking about rubbing a wave." ”

"Hey? Aren't you afraid that the big monk will post Weibo scolding? ”

"Hahaha!"

Xu Ke naturally knew what Chen Fei was talking about, the recent scolding battle with Feng Xiaogang on the temple side could be described as "wonderful", and the two sides came and went, so it was not lively.

"What are you two laughing at?" Zhou Xun came over with a curious face, she played the "mysterious woman" Ling Yanqiu in this movie.

"Nothing, just talk about it."

Chen Fei noticed Li Lian and Chen Kun, who also came over, and immediately stopped the topic.

The producer of "New Shaolin Temple" originally intended to invite Li Lian to star, but the two parties could not negotiate due to salary reasons, and I heard that it was unpleasant.

After that, the film party not only invited Liu Dehao and Nicholas Tse to join the film, but also invited Chen Long to suppress the formation, in addition, there are also Yu Shaoqun, Yu Hi, Shi Xingyu and other powerful actors who are both famous and kung fu.

After this wave of operations, it can be said that Li Lianlian's face crackled!

……

After leaving the start-up site of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Chen Fei did not go to the crew for the first time, but returned to the company to go to the animation department.

After nearly three months of preparation, Yang Yu and Li Yang finally completed the preliminary preparations for "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

"When are you going to turn it on?"

Yang Yu said while debugging the equipment: "Shooting will start in the afternoon." ”

The difference between animated films and other movies is that the former does not require live actors, at most it requires voice actors to appear in the post-production.

Therefore, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" did not prepare for any start-up ceremony, and started filming directly.

"Okay, I'll say hello to the propaganda department, at least call a few media to come over and take a photo, which can be regarded as a publicity in advance, and you will cooperate at that time."

"Okay."

"No problem."

Li Yang and Yang Yu nodded at the same time.

When the time came to the 20th, a press release about "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" appeared on the Internet early in the morning.

"Produced by Feiyue Film and Television, the animation masterpiece "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" co-directed by Yang Yu and Li Yang has officially started! It is reported that the investment in this animated movie is as high as 30 million! ”

"Chen Fei's first animated film is about to hit strongly!"

"After the establishment of the animation department of Feiyue Film and Television, the capital animation film has been launched, which will be a pure Chinese animation masterpiece, and the pre-preparation, shooting, and post-production will be carried out in China......"

As the news was exposed, for a while, the fans who had shouted for Chen Fei to "save the country" suddenly became excited, and they started a heated discussion on the Internet.

At the same time, the box office results of the first day of "New Shaolin Temple" were also announced.

9.811 million in the zero point field, 19.1306 million on the first day of release!

This box office result is worthy of the huge lineup of protagonists, and for a while, the voices of praise on the Internet poured out.

Although Chen Fei did not go to the cinema to watch the movie in person, he paid attention to the articles published by film critics.

The famous film critic Fan Wanwu commented: "It's not a sequel, it's not a remake, except for Yu Hai (the master who played Jet Li in "Shaolin Temple"), "New Shaolin Temple" has nothing to do with the 82 version of "Shaolin Temple".

In addition to highlighting the Zen spirit of Shaolin Temple, the action scenes are also unambiguous, in addition to the large-scale car chases and explosions, there is no shortage of hand-to-hand combat and other actual combat action scenes, and many fight scenes are even more impressive to me, which is obviously a qualified, even excellent commercial film......"

Chen Fei didn't even have to guess to know that this guy must have collected money.

At the beginning of the article, Li Lian was discarded, because he didn't want the audience to think that the success of the film had his elements.

As for the words "fight", "car chase", and "blasting" in the back, it is obvious that they are singing praises.

It's just that the word "excellent commercial film" makes Chen Fei a little embarrassed.

When did the Buddha get involved with commerce?

Don't they like to be cheaper?

……

With the success of mainland films such as "The Great Earthquake", "Heart Flower Road", "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", this has made the lifeless Hong Kong Island film industry both envious and jealous!

In recent years, so many Hong Kong films have been introduced to the mainland, but there are only a few that really make money.

"Ip Man", "Eavesdropping", "Anti-Drug", "Fierce War", "Cold War", ......

If you think about it, the screenwriters of these movies seem to be the same person

- Chen Fei!

In this way, the money is actually made by the mainland.

A group of filmmakers who huddled in Xiangjiang and thought they were superior were unwilling, especially when they saw others making a lot of money, which felt even more uncomfortable than losing money.

As a result, the slogan of "going north" was finally shouted out justifiably!

In late November, the 3D film project "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", which invested 500 million, officially announced the cast list.

The movie is directed by Zheng Baorui, starring Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, Kwok Fucheng, He Rundong and others, which can be described as a strong lineup.

The content of the script is adapted from the first eight episodes of the famous novel "Journey to the West", and it is the first work of Xinghao Pictures's "Journey to the West Classic Culture Series Brand Movie", which tells the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in heaven and forcing the Three Realms to start a war between gods and demons.

Chen Fei glanced at the list of producers, and sure enough, the name "Han Sanping" appeared in it.

The current helmsman of China Film is simply undisguised in his love for blockbusters!

Previously, Chen Fei was still a little puzzled, why did "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" invested by Bona not have the participation of China Film? And now he finally understands that it turns out that Han Dong is aiming at investing in a bigger "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"!

However, with such a large-scale investment, it is not so easy to recover the cost.

"After the movie is released, I hope Han Dong will still be able to laugh."

……

It's the end of November.

"Gravity" set.

When Chen Fei successfully landed in a lake on the "Tiangong-1" return capsule, which has not yet been lifted off, the filming officially entered the last scene.

Wearing only short sleeves and sports shorts, he crawled out of the icy lake!

After taking off the spacesuit, the air no longer has the feeling of suffocation in space, and the cool oxygen poured into his lungs, filling him with a sense of security.

"You can, you can definitely ......"

Gritting his teeth, he stood up strongly, dragging his tired body and trembling legs, Chen Fei raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

As far as the eye can see, it is a bright red!

That filled him with a sense of security

- Five-star red flag!

"Bang Bang!"

Guo Fan got up from behind the monitor and took the lead in applauding.

"It's great, just go over it once, haha, I announce that "Gravity" is officially finished!"

……
