On April 21, Chen Fei received an email from Hollywood.

The email was about the box office performance of the animated film "Rio Adventure" produced by Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios.

$39.21 million in the three days of the opening weekend.

The seven-day total box office was $54.45 million.

Compared to the gimmick of "3D animated films", this box office result is obviously unqualified.

The follow-up will depend on the global box office results, and it will take at least $300 million to recover the cost, otherwise it will be a waste of work.

Perhaps for publicity, this 3D animated film masterpiece "Rio Adventure" created by the original team of "Ice Age" has reached a marriage relationship with the world's most popular game "Angry Birds" and jointly launched the "Rio Adventure Version of Angry Birds" game.

The plot of the game combines the characters and plot of the movie, which plays a very good promotional effect.

This publicity strategy gave Chen Fei a lot of inspiration.

He contacted Katzenberg and instructed him to try out the company's animation rights with those popular games, which might have a big publicity effect.

In addition to this, the email also contains a copy of the Hollywood distribution data for "Sengoku".

Weekly box office, $70,000......

Chen Fei focused on the list of issuers.

He was a little curious, which distribution company was unlucky?

It's only $70,000 a week, and you can't pay it all the time?

[Weinstein Pictures.] 】

"Hahaha, good!"

Chen Fei was immediately happy, Harvey's old dog has often frantically suppressed the foreign distribution price of Chinese films in the mainland in recent years, but he didn't expect to make a mistake in the release of "Warring States" this time!

If this wave is done, he will have to lose at least a few million dollars.

The light moves fast.

After Yang Mi's audition passed, within two days, the fixed cast list of "The Four Famous Catches" was announced.

Because Guangguang is from publicity and media, as soon as the list was announced, it immediately appeared on the major headlines through various hype methods!

"The "Four Famous Catches" with an investment of 90 million yuan was officially finalized, and the male protagonist Deng Chao, the female protagonist Yang Mi, and the female second Jiang Yiyan joined in."

"Special effects production continues to work with Dianjing Digital!"

"New Chinese-style costume martial arts, adapted from the series of martial arts "Four Famous Catches" created by writer Wen Rui, absolutely in line with the original ......"

After the news came out, a burst of discussion inevitably broke out in the circle, and the topic was almost focused on Yang Mi.

Everyone is not blind, and it can naturally be seen that since Yang Mi left Rongxinda, the development is simply getting better and better!

A "Palace Lock Heart Jade" directly pulled up the national degree, the female number one in "Far Cry", and now "The Four Famous Catches" is the female number one again......

There are two female number one movies in a row, this is a trend that is going to be completely popular!

Cai Yinong suddenly felt a little nauseous.

Tang Ren has just announced "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of Heaven", and on the other hand, Yang Mi has been rumored to play the heroine of "The Four Famous Catches".

How can a TV series compare with a movie with an investment of 90 million?

Obviously, Liu Shishi was compared again.

It's strange to say that they also participated in the fairy sword, but Liu Yifei in the first part is now popular in Hollywood, and Yang Mi in the third part is also a hot mess.

On the other hand, none of their own actors in the Tang Dynasty have moved, and they have been compared many times when participating in auditions.

"Why?"

Cai Yinong was puzzled.

What made her even more depressed was that she wanted to invite Chen Fei to invest in "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of Heaven" some time ago and continue to do resource replacement.

It's a pity that in the end, he was ruthlessly rejected.

After Tang Yan and Gu Linaza are finished, the cooperation between the two families will be completely over, and the Tang people will have to rely on themselves in the future.

On the other side, Jiang Yiyan and Cai Yinong's mood is exactly the same, and they are both depressed.

When she first auditioned, she actually wanted to fight for the role of "ruthless", but was rejected by the director team.

According to Chen Jiashang, this script has to be taken to Liu Yifei first, and only if she does not play the "female number one" can she get other actresses.

Jiang Yiyan was very unwilling in her heart, but she was helpless.

In the current Chinese-language film market, there is actually an unwritten rule.

As long as it is a script suitable for Liu Yifei to star, she needs to go through her eyes after it is created, and only if she is sure not to act, can it be the turn of other actresses to audition.

Because of the high attention to the female number one, Jiang Yiyan is staring at the casting situation all the time.

After hearing that Liu Yifei would not participate in the show, she immediately found Wu Kebo and wanted him to help.

However, before Orange Sky could exert her strength, Yang Mi came up and caught her off guard.

If it was just Yang Mi, she still had some confidence.

But she soon found out that it was Chen Fei who personally recommended to Wang Changtian......

Is this stepping horse still looking for a fart relationship?

Jiang Yiyan held back her unhappiness, but she could only accept the role of the second female lead.

Well, she's definitely not going to admit defeat.

Since the position can't be changed, then she will find a way to add drama to herself.

No matter what happens, she must crush Yang Mi!

"It's just a female artist who is lucky to become popular, I can't compare to Liu Yifei, I can't compare to you?"

Looking at Yang Mi's makeup photo on the poster, Jiang Yiyan smiled coldly.

She is Nortel level 02, Yang Mi is level 05, she is a senior sister, bullying ...... Oh no, it's reasonable to instruct a school girl to perform, right?

She now treats Yang Mi as a soft persimmon in her heart, and she is waiting to pinch two handfuls after turning on the machine.

……

"Warring States" retreated quickly, and it was completely removed from theaters in less than half a month.

Lu Zheng spent a lot of effort to find all kinds of relationships to suppress the heat, and strive to minimize the impact on Jing Tian.

After all, the money was collected, and the media still gave face very much, and gradually reduced all kinds of negative reports on "Warring States".

That is, "Guan Yunchang" is more disgusting, and he always brings two sentences when doing publicity, which seems extremely petty.

When drinking that night, Lu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, wait for their movie to be released, see if I don't hack them!" ”

offending Lu Zheng is equivalent to offending Wanda, and this aspect of film scheduling will definitely be affected.

If the quality of the movie is good, I won't talk about it, but if there is a problem, then they will be in bad luck!

Liu Yifei had already gone to the set of "Your Name" in advance, and while Chen Fei was preparing in the capital, he met with several actors and briefly chatted about the next shooting plan.

I have worked with Zhu Zhu many times, but I don't have anything to talk about.

"You just play in your true colors, sexy senior sister, don't you need me to say more?"

"Hehe, Director Chen, don't worry, it's absolutely no problem!"

When she filmed "Thief Family" before, she played a rubber girl, and the experience she learned has not been forgotten now.

The key is still Zhao Liying's side.

Chen Fei's requirements are on the premise of being sweet, but also with a bit of cold humor and playfulness, and this is a test of acting skills.

But to his surprise, this little girl acted quite well, and easily showed the effect he wanted.

"I remember that you signed a contract with Huayi a long time ago, right? The acting skills are also pretty good, huh? Why hasn't it caught fire for so long? ”

Chen Fei's question was very direct.

Zhao Liying smiled a little embarrassedly and explained: "Huayi's internal competition is quite large, and good resources can't take our turn at all. ”

Recalling Huayi's sassy operations of poaching people everywhere, Chen Fei can also understand.

The newcomer grabbed his head, and the old man lay down and took the ......

"But my contract is about to expire, and I'm ready to leave."

"Oh?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked casually, "Where are you going next?" ”

Zhao Liying whispered: "I'm going to go to the Flying Shadow Emperor, I have already said that I will officially sign the contract in May." ”

"Haha, then you are welcome to come over, there is another general in the company."

The Flying Shadow Emperor brokerage company has actually changed quite a lot in recent years, China Film and Emperor have been unable to make efforts, and they have been gradually retreating, but the proportion of Feiyue Film and Television is getting bigger and bigger.

However, Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to these, and Su Guohai was in charge of everything.

Anyway, if he needs an actor, he will choose according to the list, and if there is no suitable one, he will choose outside, as long as it is his book, no one in the entire Chinese-speaking circle will refuse at all.

～

The invitation to the premiere of "Guan Yunchang" was also sent unexpectedly, but Chen Fei did not go, but sent Ning Hao to go for a trip.

The script of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" has been created, and he has to discuss the plot with Old Man Woody Allen.

It took several hours for the two of them to fix some details on the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Ning Hao pushed the door and walked in as if he had made an appointment in advance.

As soon as Chen Fei looked up, he saw the smile on his face that couldn't be suppressed.

"What? Picked up the money? So happy? ”

"Hahaha!"

Ning Hao suddenly couldn't hold back his laughter, and the gold chain around his neck trembled even more.

While laughing, he said: "You should really go and watch the finished film, don't watch it as a biographical movie, just watch it as a comedy, and ensure that you can laugh for more than an hour!" ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Fei was really interested.

That night, he even bought a ticket for a midnight movie and went to the cinema himself.

As Ning Hao said, this stepping horse is indeed an excellent "comedy".

Guan Erye's height of more than two meters was forced to be photographed by them to be one meter seven!

Donnie Yen is like a monkey with hair off, and the image of the beautiful sideburns is even more ruined.

What's even more outrageous is that when Guan Yu played by Donnie Yen and the enemy were fighting in a small alley, he was trampled on by a small minion and broke the Qinglong Yanyue Knife!

That horse is an 82-pound knife!

Chen Fei obviously noticed that many fans around him were stunned.

If you go to Maicheng to "cut people to death", and then process the plot and shots a little, it will barely be understandable, but you will break the knife after five levels and six cuts, it will be ...... It's just an insult to Guan Erye!

Seeing the end, Chen Fei didn't know what to say.

It's really hard to judge.

All kinds of outrageous, all kinds of unreasonable, as if watching the old boy fight on the street.

However, Jiang Wen's appearance is the highlight of the whole movie.

After ignoring the obvious rotten lines of "I just like ......", and then look at the acting skills, it is simply a fault crushing!

When Donnie Yen stood in front of Jiang Wen, his momentum was even more crushed.

Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh, "Do you still want Jiang Wen to help you carry the sedan chair?" Do you know what a drama bully is? He can pull you out of the palanquin and sit in by himself! ”

After watching the whole movie, there was silence in the theater.

When Chen Fei went out, he could still hear people around him scolding, and from time to time he could hear one or two scolding complaints.

That is, his identity is relatively special, otherwise he will definitely be scolded.

When I was doing publicity before, the crew of "Guan Yunchang" released a word, and the monthly box office target is 600 million yuan!

Director Mak Zhaohui even said, "I am confident that this epic biographical film will be the No. 1 box office list of this year, as for movies like "Warring States", it is not worthy of comparison with us at all." ”

The slogan was loud, and the publicity and popularity were also very full, but who would have thought that the finished film would be such a thing?

On the way back, Chen Fei carefully compared the two movies and quickly came to a conclusion.

This film is not even as good as "Warring States"!

The box office on the first day was 15.1 million.

The results are in the lower middle range, and 600 million is simply far away!

Chen Fei saw that the crew of "Guan Yunchang" posted a new Weibo, saying that the movie had been greatly affected in terms of film scheduling, otherwise the box office on the first day would definitely be more than 30 million.

But the comments below are contrary to these words.

"Still stepping on the 30 million box office? Do you want to eat your fart? I'm sick to death. ”

"I just want to ask, where did your crew hide the second master's Qinglong Yanyue Knife? What the hell is this short knife used to cut onions? ”

"Brother upstairs, do you still need to ask? If he was given an 82-pound real knife, would he be able to dance? ”

Cao Cao followed Guan Yu??? Jiang Wen! What are you doing! Why do you want to act in such a bad movie? ”

"Poof...... Labor and management sprayed directly with a mouthful of Coke, and Guan Yu's knife was actually stepped on? The screenwriter is really a pure pen! ”

Fortunately, the first day was okay, there were not many people watching the movie, plus the marketing over there was better, and the speed of deleting comments was fast enough, so it hadn't officially broken out yet.

But on the third day, with Lu Zheng's strong entry, the comments on the Internet completely exploded!

"I'm sorry for "Warring States", I'm sorry for Jing Tian, I blame you wrong, it turns out that the real bad movie is still behind."

"The same investment, the same bad movie, wasted more than forty dollars in vain."

"Poof, why are you embarrassed to laugh at other people's "Warring States", and don't look at what you filmed?"

"To tell you the truth, I personally think this "The Legend of Cao Cao" is quite good, Director Jiang Wen's performance level is really high, domineering, flamboyant, like a hero! It's a pity that Donnie Yen, who played a supporting role, has too many scenes......"

"Poof, God stepping on the horse "The Legend of Cao Cao", this movie is called "Guan Yunchang"!"

"Huh? The 1.7-meter-old child is Guan Erye? ”

If the reputation of a movie is good enough, then even if someone buys the draft on the Internet to break the black news, there will be fans who will spontaneously come out to boycott it.

But if the movie itself is a bad movie, then buying the draft becomes a clarion call to charge.

For a while, netizens followed Lu Zheng to rage wildly, criticizing this movie as bullshit!

The many notorieties carried by "Warring States" were taken over by "Guan Yunchang" very smoothly, no matter how hard Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang tried, they couldn't compete with Lu Zheng's speed of buying drafts.

It's a bad movie, isn't it as black as you want?

At the same time, the crew of "Pacific Rim" also announced the casting list.

There are a large number of third-tier artists on the list in Huaxia, most of whom play supporting roles and extras, and almost all of them are artists from Feiyinghuang's agency.

As for the two important roles, they were naturally successfully taken by Wu Jing and Jing Tian.

Many people noticed Jing Tian's name, and also recalled "Warring States".

But almost all of their targets are focused on "Guan Yunchang", and they don't have time to pay attention to a little girl.

The reason is simple.

"Warring States" can be said to apologize as soon as possible, and the attitude of admitting mistakes is very sincere.

On the other hand, "Guan Yunchang" is constantly operating!

Not only did they offer a reward of more than 100,000 yuan to catch who hacked the movie, but they even made a big statement in front of the media, saying that mainland fans don't understand the history of the Three Kingdoms at all......

Even Jiang Wen was cheated, saying that he was a drama bully, playing a big name in the crew, deliberately rolling the drama and stealing the scene......

Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to the follow-up, because this movie is definitely a loss!

The time soon came to the 29th, and the movie "Fast and Furious 5", in which he participated in the cameo, officially landed in North American theaters.

Although he didn't go to the premiere, he was paying attention to the box office situation.

$34.399 million.

This is the data that Wen Ziren sent him.

"Wow! Is this a rhythm that is going to break $600 million? ”

"Yes." Wen Ziren said excitedly: "Universal Pictures said that the attendance rate is very high, and they will increase publicity funds in the future, and this movie is likely to create a new miracle......"

Hearing him say this, Chen Fei became interested.

He logged on to Rotten Tomatoes and looked at the comments of netizens.

"There are hand-to-hand combat, famous cars, beautiful women, and Paul, this series made me fall in love with this blue-eyed tough guy beautiful man, he is righteous and awe-inspiring, kind and sincere, and his love for Mia is also very touching, I really hope this series will not end, we are friends, but also family!"

"It's probably the best in the entire Fast & Furious franchise!"

"At the beginning of the upgrade of the Rush series, the introduction of the hot-blooded tough guy Johnson, and the overall improvement of the scene special effects also means that the series has been upgraded from a B-level film to an A-level production blockbuster, and the original team plus the supporting characters with distinct personalities in the series have launched the concept of the flying car family, which is really great!"

"The part of dragging a safe on the road is amazing!"

“Oh！ Yes！ I really want to experience Fei's life, holding a beautiful girl in my arms and holding the steering wheel of a luxury car in my hand, this feeling is so cool that I fly when I think about it! ”

“……”

As expected, the scene where Chen Fei finally drove with Gal Gadot in his arms became the envy of many fans.

This is simply the best winning Mvp settlement screen!

……

(The second one, asking for a double monthly pass?) )
