448, "After passing the Shanhaiguan, I will find Zhao Benshan!" ”
It's December 1st.
Feiyue Film and Television, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Wanda jointly issued an announcement.
"After two months of filming, "Gravity" was officially completed on November 30!"
All of a sudden, press releases from various media outlets were scattered all over the Internet.
"The domestic sci-fi masterpiece "Gravity", which invested $100 million, was officially completed and officially entered post-production."
"Starring Chen Fei and Liu Dehao, the first domestic hard sci-fi!"
"It is reported that the filming was fully supported by the Space Agency, and the post-production special effects alone cost as much as 400 million yuan......
~
Several bigwigs of investors gathered in the digital department of Dianjing, and while Guo Fan was reviewing the negatives, they chatted about the follow-up arrangements for "Painted Skin 2".
Han Sanping took the initiative to ask, "When are you going to release this movie?" ”
Chen Fei asked rhetorically: "How is the summer file?" ”
"Yes, whatever you want, anytime." Han Sanping waved her hand and looked at Ning Hao on the side, "Is the later stage almost finished?" ”
"Hmm." Ning Hao nodded, "It can be done by the end of this month." ”
"That's okay, when the time comes, take it to the review as soon as possible, and I can arrange someone to schedule it."
While speaking, Han Sanping turned his head to look at Chen Fei again, "By the way, there is also the "Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which is scheduled for July 1, right?" This year happens to be the 90th anniversary, so let's publicize it in the form of a patriotic gift film, and the bureau can also cooperate and mobilize people from the following units to watch it. ”
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with me."
After talking about the off-topic, everyone turned their attention to "Gravity" again.
Ye Ning looked at the special effects equipment with curiosity, "How long does it take to do the post-production of this movie?" ”
"At least half a year."
Chen Fei gave an answer from a professional point of view.
"Gravity" is a film that is purely supported by special effects, so it takes an extremely long time in post-production.
If you only let the dots do it, I'm afraid it may not be able to be made in a year.
Chen Fei plans to divide the negative into three parts, and let Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Field, and Dianjing Digital be responsible for it, so that it can be faster.
……
At the same time, when Chen Fei was arranging the post-production work of "Gravity", Huayi announced the total box office of "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire".
343 million.
It's really the same as Chen Fei guessed.
"Over 300 million, chasing 400 million ......"
The media slipped out the word "to the point" again, and caught him for a lot of praise.
Huayi's invitation to the celebration banquet has also been sent to him, and the invitation to the premiere of "Laughing Jianghu" came with it.
The latter's premiere was going to be held in the capital, and Zhao Benshan not only sent an invitation letter, but even called in person.
Chen Fei did not refuse, after all, normal human relations must be done in place.
What's more, when Pan Asia Cinema went to the Northeast to develop, Zhao Benshan also gave a lot of care, which was also a big favor, and he had to find a chance to return it.
Perhaps because of the fact that it is entering the new January, "New Shaolin Temple" also followed suit to announce the total box office results of the ten days.
160 million RMB.
If this data is given to a literary film, it will naturally be a big win.
But if you compare the investment of up to 200 million in "New Shaolin Temple", then the current box office trend is obviously very poor.
The temple is no longer clamoring to break the box office results of "The Great Earthquake" and "Heart Flower Road", but is aiming at "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire".
It's just that before they had time to buy the draft, Feiyue Film and Television announced the box office results of "Twilight 5".
1.365 billion RMB!
Because the new daily box office is less than 2 million, and the competition for the Chinese New Year is about to begin, Chen Fei and Natasha discussed it and announced that "Twilight 5" was officially withdrawn from mainland theaters.
But even if it was released a few days in advance, the 1.365 billion results still caused a huge uproar in the mainland!
Wang Zhonglei looked at the data report form in his hand, and his eyes were round, "It's terrible!" It is only 203 million away from "Inception"! If this isn't a fan-oriented movie of the original book, I'm afraid it's going to break the record! ”
Feng Xiaogang was sitting on the sofa opposite him, and he didn't squeak at this time.
Just now, Wang Zhongjun asked him to predict the total box office of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", and he only dared to say "600 million".
As for 1.3 billion like "Twilight 5", he didn't even dare to think about it!
If he can make a box office movie with a box office of 1.3 billion one day, even if he is allowed to go to the palace, it is not impossible!
……
……
"It's really disgusting, I have already set a shooting schedule, but now I suddenly change my hexagram, and if I cooperate with him again, I will be ......born to him."
Chen Fei met Xu Ke at the premiere of "Laughing Jianghu", and it seemed that Li Lianjie released the pigeons of the crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"?
At the beginning, it was said that he would be able to enter the group and start filming in three or five days, but now it is good, the other party actually drilled the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" and couldn't come out!
In desperation, Xu Ke had no choice but to change his shooting plan, and he has been busy in the past two days.
That is, Li Lianlian's identity is special, if this was put on other actors, he would have been kicked out of the crew a long time ago!
Chen Fei had to persuade him twice, "Okay, don't be angry, it's come to this, what's the use of you being angry?" Could it be that he will be able to come back after scolding twice? ”
At this time, Zhao Benshan and Zhu Yanping walked over to the two of them and greeted them from a distance.
"Haha, Director Chen, Director Xu, the two of you are here, it really makes today's premiere shine......"
In addition to being the investor of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", Zhu Yanping is also the director of this movie, he is a rare director in Wanwan Province who can make excellent commercial films, and his representative works include "Oolong Courtyard", "Slam Dunk" and so on.
"Haha, Mr. Zhao, Director Zhu ......"
Chen Fei took the lead in shaking hands with the two, and Xu Ke also showed a bright smile after adjusting his mood, showing the demeanor of a great director.
Many reporters gathered around the scene, obviously not expecting Chen Fei and Xu Ke to appear here.
After saying hello, Lao Zhao did not forget to introduce Chen Fei to the younger brothers who followed him, "This is the screenwriter Ning Caishen, as well as the male protagonist Xiao Shen Yang and the female protagonist Lin Xilei in the play......
"Hello."
Chen Fei shook hands with several people separately, and focused on Ning Caishen's state.
Extremely dark circles under the eyes, pale lips, and wet night sweats on the forehead...... Obviously in a very bad state.
"I'm sorry, let Director Chen see the joke, I may have a little cold today, and my body is not very well." Ning Caishen also explained emphatically, but he didn't know that Chen Fei had seen too many people like him in Hollywood.
Still have a cold?
If you continue to walk down the crooked road, you won't even want your life!
Today's host is also Zhao Benshan's apprentice, his name is Dong Chengpeng, although he is not a two-person actor, but his humor is not weaker than the rest of Zhao Jiaban.
The slogan of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" is "Funny Martial Arts", so the atmosphere is also very lively, and there is no solemnity of traditional martial arts films at all.
The content of the movie is also mainly funny, and you don't need to spend any brains, just laugh happily for two hours.
After the end of the film, as the most watched guest today, Chen Fei naturally couldn't avoid being asked.
Dong Chengpeng asked in a cautious tone: "Director Chen, it is said on the Internet that your analysis of the box office of the movie is very accurate, so can you predict how much box office this film will take?" ”
"Just talking about the box office, it will definitely be no problem to exceed 100 million."
Chen Fei gave an answer that made Zhao Benshan smile.
In the afternoon of the same day, a press release about the premiere of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" came out.
"Zhao Jiaban performed funny martial arts, and the premiere scene was full of laughter."
"At the end of the year, come to the cinema to watch a movie that can make you laugh and relieve fatigue."
"Director Chen Fei predicted on the spot that it would not be a problem for the box office of "Laughing Jianghu" to exceed 100 million."
“……”
In view of the black history of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", many people on the Internet think that "Laughing Jianghu" is probably not much better, and some people even say that Chen Fei received money from Zhao Jiaban, so he touted it so vigorously.
But it turned out that this was not the case.
On December 4th, China Film announced the box office results of "Laughing Jianghu" on the first day, which was as high as 22 million!
Judging from this achievement, it should be no problem to break 100 million.
Although the Douban score is not high, many netizens in the comment area said that although the story of this film is a bit bad, it is worth watching.
Zhao Benshan even called Chen Fei to thank him for his righteous words, and also said that he must call him if he has the opportunity to go to the Northeast.
"After passing the Shanhaiguan, I will find Zhao Benshan", this sentence is not blown out!
On December 5, the box office of "Zhao's Orphan" on the first day was also exploded.
The box office result of 26.5 million yuan is worthy of what he called "ingenuity", and of course, the cast of this movie cannot be ignored.
Ge Wei, Wang Xuejin, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Haiqing...... Even if these people sit there and perform fighting the landlord, they can get a box office of 50 million, mainly depending on the follow-up results.
Of course, the actors in the circle don't think so.
Everyone knows in their hearts that Brother Chen Kai is a person who likes flowers and applause, so after the box office was released on the first day, a large number of actors and stars sent rainbow farts.
"26.5 million on the first day, breaking 500 million is absolutely no problem, worthy of being a Palme d'Or director, really strong enough!"
"100 million investment, more than 500 million box office revenue, plus foreign awards, haha, maybe I can reproduce the glory of "Farewell My Concubine".
"Congratulations in advance to Director Chen Kaige for being shortlisted for the 500 million box office director club!"
……
……
The promotion of "The Hunger Games" has begun, and after arranging some of the work at hand, Chen Fei rushed to Hollywood and began to lead the "big cousin" and his party to various variety shows and talk shows.
Of course, even if he is abroad, Chen Fei still pays close attention to the news at home.
"Let the Bullets Fly" released a lot of stills, and he is impressively seen in it.
The box office trend of "Laughing Jianghu" is not bad, and it has been maintained at more than 10 million during this time, and Xiao Shen Yang has magically washed away the black history of acting in "Three Guns Shooting Surprise"!
"Zhao's Orphan" is more miserable, on the fifth day of release, the box office directly fell below 10 million, and the words "ingenuity masterpiece" that frequently appeared on the Internet before disappeared without a trace.
Not to be outdone, the new picture was determined to rub off on a wave of popularity, and even announced the main creative lineup of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
According to the setting of the original book, the male protagonist chose a foreigner, and the actor was named Christian Bale.
Of course, this is not an ordinary foreigner, but the actor of the male protagonist Batman in the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" released in 2008!
I don't know how much Zhang Wei paid the other party for this guy who picked the door?
Of course, the most concerned in the industry is the person who trusts the "Mou Girl".
Although the title of the movie is "Thirteen Hairpins", there is only one real Mou girl, which determines whether there will be an acting school in the Chinese film industry again in the future.
Just when many people thought that Zhang Wei would review a wave of marketing, and then wait for the last to release specific news, they didn't expect this guy to uncharacteristically announce the candidate in advance.
What about Ni.
Born in 1988, 22 years old this year, Nanguang College of Huaxia University of Communication and Communication ......
Chen Fei deliberately logged on to Weibo to see the photo, and I have to say that Lao Mouzi's vision is really awesome, and his demeanor and posture are really charming, and the only flaw is that his fingers are a little shorter......
And in addition to this, the total investment in the film has also been exposed.
"? More than 600 million? Or is it exclusive? Fooling the hell, right? ”
After reacting, Chen Fei's first thought was that he must have made a false report.
At the same time, it is more than 600 million, but "Gravity" has spent all the money on the blade, on the other hand, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", it is estimated that it will take the knife!
"I don't know how much money Zhang Wei gave the guy to eat in it, Lao Mouzi really became his long-term worker!"
Of course, when it comes to the word "long-term worker", Wu Jing should be one of them......
Since joining Feiyue Film and Television, he has not been in the mainland for a few days, and he was sent by Chen Fei to participate in the production of Kung Fu Panda.
After filming the first and second parts in a row, he was lucky enough to enter the crew of "The Hunger Games", and then played a supporting role and served as an action director.
Although he wasted three years, he didn't regret it too much.
After all...... Even if he continues to stay in Xiangjiang, or even give him three years, he may not have much development.
The film market in Xiangjiang has been completely abandoned, and none of the movies he directed and acted in before were able to sell well, but they also left him in debt.
On the other hand, in the past three years since he came to Hollywood, not only has he earned money to pay off the debt, but he has even learned a lot of experience in making movies, which can be regarded as a great benefit.
What's more, "The Hunger Games" is about to be released, and he is very sure that he will be able to make a big hit in the mainland with this supporting role!
Even if he only played a supporting role, but this is a Hollywood movie, who can ignore him as a Chinese actor?
Until Chen Fei found him, he was still deeply trapped in the fantasy that he would be able to become popular all over the world in the future.
As long as he can stay in Hollywood, he believes that one day he can become an international martial arts superstar like Chen Long and Li Lianlian.
However, Chen Fei suddenly poured a basin of cold water on him at this time!
"Wu Jing, your job in Hollywood is over, and you can go back to the mainland."
"Huh?!"
Wu Jing raised his head suddenly, looking at the boss in front of him in disbelief, tears almost bursting out of his eyes.
Three years!
He's been in Hollywood for three years!
The acting career has finally improved a little, and he is about to become an international martial arts superstar, but now he is suddenly asked to go back?
How can there be such a truth in the world!
No!
It's not fair!
This is clearly a naked capital squeeze!
"I don't ......"
However, just as he was about to sternly refuse, he suddenly saw Chen Fei throw a script in front of him.
"Now you take this script back to Su Guohai and ask him to help submit it for review, and then go to the director department to find a person named Wang Shiliang, and ask him to help you shoot this movie and be the leading actor......"
After a brief instruction, a trace of doubt flashed on Chen Fei's face, "By the way, you just said that you don't have anything?" ”
Wu Jingfeng quickly changed his words, "Don't worry, I will definitely not live up to your expectations of me!" ”
"Haha, okay, do a good job after you go back, if you don't understand anything, just ask Ning Hao them, you have been in Hollywood for a long time, this time you will still take the route of directing and acting yourself, and then I will prepare a script for you that suits your personal style."
"Good! Thank you, Mr. Chen! ”
Wu was shocked, and the tears of grief just now instantly turned into excitement and happiness.
That is, the age gap between the two is a bit big, otherwise he would have to fight Chen Fei...... Oh no! It's not impossible to worship him as a father-in-law!
Perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Fei would regret it, Wu ran away quickly, and got on the plane back to China that night.
It's also thanks to his lack of wings, otherwise he would have set sail with the script on the spot.
……
After giving the script of "Wolf Warrior 1" to Wu Jing, Chen Fei fell into a busy state again.
The promotion of "The Hunger Games", the coordination and makeup photos of "Avengers 1", and the special effects design of "Gravity...... It's so busy.
The premiere date of "Let the Bullets Fly" is set for December 15th, and he will definitely not be able to hide from this, and he will have to go back to participate in it when the time comes.
However, in addition to being busy, he still found a chance to watch and have fun.
"Zhao's Orphan" was screened in a small area in Los Angeles!
Chen Fei called Wen Ziren to watch this movie together.
"Is it the work of the Palme d'Or director Chen Kaige?" Wen Ziren was still looking forward to it, and even showed an excited look before entering.
There were a lot of people around him who were in the same state of anticipation, and most of them were Chinese who had come from Chinatown.
The feature film soon began to be screened.
While watching the movie, Chen Fei did not forget to pay attention to the expressions and demeanors of other people.
At first, when looking at the first third, many people look appreciative.
And when the plot is in the middle third, appreciation gradually turns into doubt.
Until the end, the doubts turned into disappointment!
Lao Chen is still the same Lao Chen, and the characteristics of "half-step classics and whole garbage" have not changed.
Even Wen Ziren was a little stunned when he walked out of the movie theater, "Fei? Is this really the work of the director of the Palme d'Or? ”
Chen Fei shrugged, "Huh? So what's not? ”
"I watched his "Wuji" a long time ago, and I feel that the quality of this "Zhao's Orphan" is about the same, in other words, he ...... He couldn't have bought this award, right? ”
"Hey? So who knows? You'll have to ask his dad to go. ”
"Oh!!"
Wen Ziren understood in an instant.
