452, support Jiang Wen! The "Avengers" are assembled for the first time!
Feiyue Film and Television also held an annual meeting in advance, but when it comes to luxury, it is definitely not comparable to Huayi.
The big and small kings themselves are the kind of people who are not careful, and most of the company's artists are quite explicit in order to cater to the interests of the boss.
Huo Siyan should be regarded as the most "generous" of this group of actresses, when the lights shine, they are simply white!
"Is it big?"
Zhou Xun's sudden question made Chen Fei and Huang Xiaoming subconsciously look away.
It's embarrassing......
"I don't know what you're talking about." Chen Fei muttered in a low voice, and then quickly changed the topic, "How was the filming of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"? Is it still going well? ”
"It's okay, it's just that Li Lian hasn't come for a long time, and the progress is a little slow."
"Haha."
Thinking of Yang Zi's sassy operation, Chen Fei was immediately happy.
After the cooperation with Dianjing Digital was not negotiated, he went to Hollywood again, and finally he really found a special effects company that was willing to cooperate with him.
It's just that although this guy is so loud that he invests 200 million in the movie, the special effects are all done according to the minimum standards, and he is full of a small family spirit.
I don't know what Huang Shengyi will think if he finds out?
~
Today's annual meeting is indeed very lively, after all, there are too many artists in Huayi, including the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan!
This Huayi is no longer the time when Wang Jinghua is gone, with the gradual advancement of "de-film simplification", the scope involved is extremely wide.
As far as the eye can see, there are even many bosses of investment companies at the annual meeting.
Chen Fei came over this time to share the money, and he didn't have any intention of socializing, so he chatted with Zhou Xun.
It's just that how can he, a great director, live idle? There was an endless stream of people who came to say hello.
"Hello Director Chen, do you remember me? My name is Zhao Liying. A girl with a small bun face came over and greeted timidly.
"Hello, Yahoo Star Search Program, right?"
Chen Fei is still very impressed with her, that is, since joining Huayi, this girl's resources don't seem to be very good, and she hasn't seen any excellent works come out in the past few years.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's me, and you photographed me at the time. ”
Zhao Liying nodded excitedly, Xiao Baozi's face trembled slightly, but it was a little cute.
Seeing this, Chen Fei's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "Did you bring a business card?" Is it convenient to leave a contact information? ”
There is a role of the heroine's sister in "Your Name", and the character profile is: full of responsibility and sweet appearance, I feel quite suitable for Zhao Liying.
Chen Fei was ready to recommend her to Liu Yifei and let her audition.
"Bring, bringing, of course convenient!"
Zhao Liying responded while turning her head to look not far away, and waved excitedly at her agent, "Sister Xu!" My business card! ”
Many people noticed this and cast envious glances.
As Zhao Liying left, the rest of the actresses were ready to move, and they all wanted to come over to say hello and leave a good impression on Chen Fei.
However, at this time, Wang Zhongjun has already announced the start of increasing shareholder shares.
10 to 10 to 3 ......
Chen Fei's 20 million shares became 40 million shares, and he also received 6 million in cash.
Shaking the check in his hand, Chen Fei chuckled: "This annual meeting is really not in vain. ”
……
As soon as the annual meeting ended, a press release from the outside world appeared.
It is no secret that the holdings and market value of various celebrities are reported.
"Director Chen Fei holds 40 million shares, and according to the current market value, 1.2 billion."
"Sure enough, money is a thing that makes money!"
"Huayi's stock is worth 1.2 billion, and Hollywood's Walton Pictures is as high as 4 billion US dollars!"
"Billionaires in their twenties! It's horrible! ”
"This is the real wealthy family, and I don't know which lucky person will marry into a wealthy family......"
Chen Fei didn't go to the premiere of "If It's True, Don't Disturb 2", and after giving Zhao Liying's business card to Liu Yifei, he took a plane and went straight to Los Angeles.
When I landed, it was already the morning of the 23rd.
There was just new news coming from the country.
The weekly box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, with a revenue of 350 million, and the trend was extremely crazy, heading straight for 600 million!
At the same time, the last heavyweight blockbuster at the end of the year, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", also announced the box office results on the first day.
33.25 million.
Compared with the first part, although the box office performance of the second part has increased a lot, the online reputation has decreased slightly.
However, these are not the point, the most concerned in the industry is its product placement!
A full 20 product placements, with a profit of up to 60 million......
Feng Dacang has played to the extreme in advertising, and no one in the industry is his opponent at all.
At the premiere ceremony, when interviewed by reporters, Feng Xiaogang said confidently, "For this movie, my goal is to guarantee 500 million, and by the way, Jiang Wen ......will be beheaded."
The three major directors of the Lunar New Year file all played the "500 million" stalk, but unfortunately Brother Chen Kai has been abolished, and then it will be up to the next two to see who can have the last laugh.
……
Hollywood.
Dolby Theatre.
The scene of the premiere of "The Hunger Games".
"Fei, I'd like to call you a master of time management!"
Xiao Lizi has come out of the previous negative news, and this will return to that "cheap" state, which annoys people.
"No, no, no, you're the real 'time management guru,' and I don't deserve that word."
Chen Fei didn't dare to admit that this word was too toxic, and he didn't have enough antibodies in his body, so he couldn't bear it.
Jennifer Lawrence looked at the two of them with curiosity on the side, her eyes were full of doubts, she was a pure little girl who had just 20 years old, and she couldn't understand what this word meant.
At this time, Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, came over and said with a smile: "Fei, congratulations, I wish you a big box office hit of your new movie!" ”
Chen Fei hugged him, "Haha, I also wish our future cooperation all the best." ”
The acquisition plan of DreamWorks Animation has been almost discussed, and the process is going through in the near future, and it can be decided by the end of the month at the latest.
The goal of both sides is very clear, the main one is "sword to Disney"!
Katzenberg was one of the executives of the Disney Company before, and the Disney animated film "Aladdin" was his work.
It's a pity that during his time at Disney, he has always been taken seriously, and even squeezed out!
In the end, he chose to leave Disney in a fit of rage, and found Spielberg and David Geffen to start DreamWorks together.
In fact, the goal of DreamWorks has always been Disney at the beginning of its establishment, but with the unfavorable subsequent development, the gap between them and Disney has also widened.
But now it's different, joining Walton Pictures, with the help of Chen Fei, the "chief content executive", Katzenberg's heart has once again ignited the confidence to blast Disney!
The premiere scene was very lively, and most of the people came for the name "Chen Fei", and some came for the "dystopian movie".
After the routine interview session, the film began to play officially.
Disney CEO Dick Cook sat in the front row, staring at the big screen with his eyes straight into the big screen, watching very seriously.
The $170 million "Tron: Chronicles" has been in theaters for a week, and when it premiered in the United States, it was screened in 3,451 theaters across the United States, with a first-day box office of $43.6 million.
Among them, the midnight premiere made a total of $3.5 million at the box office, with a single box office of $12,634, and 228 IMAX screens accounted for about $1 million in share, which is almost a tie with "Avatar" released in 2009!
It's a pity that the brilliant first-day box office did not make the follow-up box office results skyrocket, and a week later, the box office came to $150 million
And "The Chronicles of Narnia 3: Dawn Treader", which was released on the 9th, was even far inferior to "Tron: Chronicles", with only $23.99 million in the first three days of the opening weekend.
There is no doubt that compared with the high investment of the two movies, this achievement is obviously very stretched.
Now I'm waiting for "The Hunger Games", if this movie also pulls his hips, then Dick Cook can feel better, but if it continues to sell well, it will be disgusting!
The feature film begins.
The rules of The Hunger Games were first announced, and the heroine Katniss became a tribute in place of her sister, and traveled to the capital with the boy Pita to participate in the "Hunt Game......
Although there are a lot of literary dramas in the first half, when the male and female protagonists enter the Hunger Games hunting ground, the tense and exciting hunting atmosphere kicks off!
That shocking visual feast truly presents the cruel world on the big screen, making the audience feel the thrill and intensity of the survival game!
Whenever faced with a bloody hunting scene, there will be bursts of exclamations from time to time at the viewing scene.
In fact, before the start of filming, Chen Fei made a huge revision of the script to fill in many deficiencies in the original film.
In the original work, the hour-long narration at the beginning of the film was cut by him, and filled in many details of the characters and dialogues that explore human nature, showing more of the core of "dystopia".
And after the start of the competition, everything went very smoothly into a high-energy state!
There are no superfluous lines, no overflowing sensationalism, no bloody plot, just cruelty, competition, wisdom, duels, and killings...... Until they hug each other and win!
With Wu Jing and him, the first martial arts finger recognized in the mainland, the display of the fighting scene is completely at the top level in the world, no matter who comes, it is impossible to find fault!
On the premise that literary drama + drama can be scored to 90 points, when the feature film ended, the scene naturally resounded with warm applause.
In the front row, Dick Cook frowned, and he already had a sense of foreboding in his heart......
Looking at it like this, Disney seems to be going bad!
At the invitation of the host, Chen Fei and the main creative members took the stage again for an interview.
Most of the reporters here in Hollywood are asking questions about the inside story of the shooting, the expected box office, whether there will be a second part, and so on.
But when the right to ask questions was handed over to the mainland media, they immediately began to behave as demons.
"Director Chen, Director Jiang Wen said yesterday that at least more than half of the filmmakers in the film and television industry are not as good as ordinary audiences, and the films they make are fooling people, what do you think about this?"
Chen Fei only ate this melon this morning.
For Jiang Wen's speech, netizens expressed their very much agreement!
However...... Most people in the industry, especially those who make literary films and the old guys who eat vegetarian meals in major associations, have posted articles accusing him, saying that he is too arrogant, does not know how to measure, and does not know the height of the sky......
Chen Fei thought that this matter would not involve him, but he never found that he should come or came, and these people were obviously not ready to let him go.
To this, he just replied lightly, "Isn't that true?" ”
A bunch of old dogs!
Can the master still instigate you?
If you want to scold you, you can scold!
If you have the ability, you can also go and get a European three-gold grand slam, and if you want to talk to the master, at least take a golden bear, golden palm or golden lion first!
The interview ended quickly.
Chen Fei didn't stay too long in Los Angeles and went straight to New York that afternoon.
He's going to shoot "The Avengers" in a hurry, and as for the follow-up here in Los Angeles, Natasha will help him with everything.
……
……
The box office data of the first day of "The Hunger Games" reached Chen Fei's ears on the day of the launch of "The Avengers".
"North America, 77.263 million US dollars!"
Natasha's voice even stuttered slightly when she spoke, this achievement was simply smashing "Tron: War" and "The Chronicles of Narnia 3: Dawn Treader"!
Chen Fei shouted for everyone on the set to prepare for a group photo, and asked rhetorically: "Is the North American box office champion in December stable?" ”
"It's too stable to be more stable!"
"Haha, that's good, keep waiting, if the box office results are not bad, you can directly announce that "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks" will meet you in 2012, that is, the Chinese New Year of the year after."
"Ok, promise to get the job done."
Ending the call, Natasha glanced at the stock market, which had already opened.
Sure enough, the stock price ushered in a wave of skyrocketing again!
Hollywood news soon spread back to China, including about Chen Fei's "domineering response" and about the first-day box office results of his new film.
"At the premiere of "The Hunger Games", in an interview with reporters, director Chen Fei expressed his approval of Director Jiang Wen's remarks, and ended with 'Isn't this a fact?' In response. ”
"The first day box office of the movie "The Hunger Games" was 77.263 million US dollars, and Director Chen's new work broke the record again......"
"On the day of the premiere, the number of theaters released in North America was as high as 4,137, and the average box office of theaters was as high as $18,000, which is really terrifying!"
"Another blockbuster with a global box office of more than $1 billion is about to be born?"
“……”
Jiang Wen called and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, brother, if you hadn't spoken up, I might have been killed by those old things in the circle!" ”
He drank a little wine at the time, and his head was hot, so he didn't hold back and told the truth.
When he got up the next day, he found that almost half of the old guys in the film and television industry had come out, and he was scared awake by the overnight drink!
If it weren't for Chen Fei, he would still be the target of those people's fire.
Chen Fei was quite curious, "What do insiders say about me?" Did someone post an article to scold me? ”
"Of course not, you don't want to think about it, the director of the three European gold slams + the Golden Bear actor + the first domestic entertainment and the world's top three commercial directors, who dares to scare you? Does he want to mix it up?
That's it... In the future, it is impossible for the movies you make to win awards in the mainland, I heard that people have said hello to Golden Rooster, Baihua, and Huabiao, and you don't want to win an award for your film in the future, and even those movies produced by your company are estimated to be difficult to win awards......"
"Poof, hahahahaha!"
Chen Fei burst out laughing on the spot.
Golden Rooster? Flowers? Huabiao?
Not to mention that he went to participate, even if those people came to invite him with a sedan chair, he would definitely not go!
"Don't give me a prize yet? Do you think I'm rare of that thing? ”
"That's the same, I think they probably want to save some face for themselves."
After chatting for a few words, the two quickly switched topics.
Jiang Wen is in the mainland, and he has learned a lot more news than Chen Fei, and he is telling him all kinds of inside stories.
"The box office growth of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is slightly disadvantaged, our "Let the Bullets Fly" has soared to 500 million, and it is still rushing to 300 million."
""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" recently chose a male number two, and a large group of first-line male stars went, but in the end, only Tong Dawei was left, I heard that it was because he spoke English best."
"Zhang Weiping is indeed a ruthless person, 600 million yuan is from bank loans, refuses to involve any investors, saying that he wants to rush to the box office of 1 billion, and he will definitely not lose to your "Heart Flower Road", and he also said that he will beat "Gravity" next year!"
"That actor Bell seems to be quite awesome, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou respect him very much, sure enough, it is still a foreign monk who can chant scriptures!"
“……”
The two chatted for half an hour before hanging up the phone, and the actors on the scene of the crew had already lined up neatly, but no one dared to urge him.
Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, ...... Which of these people is not a male lead actor at the box office of 100 million yuan?
However, even if these people are much older than him, they are all at the level of a younger brother in terms of position!
Robert Downey Jr., who plays Iron Man, has been popular since 08 to the present, and both the salary and endorsement are almost catching up with Leonardo.
But when standing in front of Chen Fei, he was still respectful.
This is Chen Fei's status in Hollywood.
Which one is not convinced?
Who dares to say that I am not convinced?
"Smack!"
With two light clapping of his hands, Chen Fei waved his hand to Jon Favreau, who served as the assistant director, and the Russo brothers, and said, "Come, take pictures and get ready to start the film!" ”
There were many Chinese media and reporters from China at the start-up scene, so with the group photo taken, the news of the start-up of "The Avengers" quickly spread.
"The Avengers, with an investment cost of up to $250 million, was officially launched, and the filming lineup was extremely luxurious, directed by Chen Fei himself, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye and others."
"The Marvel journey has set sail again! Avenger! Officially assembled! ”
""Iron Man 1 and 2" has a total global box office of $1.7 billion, "Thor" has a total global box office of $625 million, and "Captain Rice" has a total global box office of $596 million. Let's wait and see! ”
