By the time I landed in New York, it was already evening.

China on the other side of the ocean has begun a new day at this time.

On the way to the hotel by car, Chen Fei opened the laptop he carried with him and glanced at the film and television information news on the Internet.

As expected, the general content of his discussion with the theater chain about "stepwise account sharing" has been spread.

He didn't really care about it, after all, this kind of thing must not be hidden.

As far as the eye can see, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet:

"Good guy, Director Chen is really awesome, the bottom line is 700 million, he is so confident in the movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television?"

"Not to mention, there seem to be four movies that have been invested by Feiyue Film and Television with more than 700 million yuan, right?"

"Zhang Wei's comment is not good, why did he shout 500 million?"

"With a total box office of 700 million as the standard, for every 100 million box office, the proportion of account sharing will be increased by 1.5%, and the upper limit is 48%, I will be obedient, this is already a gambling regulation, right?"

"That's a bet!"

The content of this "VAM agreement" was gradually disclosed on the Internet, causing a boiling and shock in the circle!

Several production companies are quite hot-eyed, but they are helpless.

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Weiping's gambling contract of 500 million leverages is already very exaggerated, how can it be exceeded by another 700 million?

Where are there so many masterpieces with a box office of more than 700 million in the Chinese film market?

……

Huayi.

The two brothers of the Wang family looked at the news on the Internet, and in addition to their hot eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Among the many film and television works they are currently investing in, the highest box office is only one "The Great Earthquake".

The embarrassing thing is that the box office of this earthquake was finally fixed at 690 million, and it has been repeatedly taken out by major producers as an object of transcendence.

As for the works that broke 700 million, there was no one at all.

This "dragon head" always feels a little incompetent......

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Zhonglei, and asked, "What part of the filming of "Journey to the West" has been filmed?" ”

"It is estimated that it will take two months to finish."

Two months?

Wang Zhongjun frowned slightly, compared to Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xingchi's progress was really slow.

And he still can't listen to the opinions of outsiders, he is very stubborn, and several producers sent out by Huayi have been scolded back.

"He didn't say when he was going to release it?"

Wang Zhonglei recalled a little before answering: "He said that it will be a few months in the later stage, and it is estimated that he will get the New Year." ”

Wang Zhongjun fell into contemplation again, and after a long while, he said slowly:

"Director Zhou Xingchi's movie, although he did not appear as the starring role, there will definitely be no shortage of supporters, and we can also take the opportunity to ask the theater side to release it in a step-by-step account-sharing way."

Wang Zhonglei was slightly stunned, and subconsciously answered: "We also set 700 million?" ”

"Can you use your brain? 700 million? Do you think you're Chen Fei? Are you sure? ”

Wang Zhonglei was directly silent.

He's got a on his ......

"Learn from Zhang Weiping, we also set 500 million, you follow up on this matter, and try to strive for more benefits that are beneficial to us."

"Okay!"

The two brothers soon came to an agreement.

……

At the same time, the new picture within the company.

Zhang Weiping also saw the news on the Internet.

Looking at the number "700 million", he originally wanted to laugh at a few words, but recalling the terrible results of "Gravity", the sarcastic words were still stuck in his throat after all.

In the end, he could only mutter, "If it weren't for me, how could you negotiate this condition with the theater chain?" So, I'm the pioneer of that market, the pathfinder, and you're just ......"

Just thinking about it, the expression on Zhang Weiping's face suddenly became weird.

He suddenly discovered that although Chen Fei also did the same thing as him, he was still the only one who was right in the theater line.

is different from the new picture, which is deeply besieged by all sides, looking at it, the attitude of netizens and theaters towards Feiyue Film and Television is unexpectedly very friendly.

Chen Fei is purely reaping the benefits of a fisherman!

And what about his Zhang Wei comment?

It's like a clown!

"Click!"

The vase in the office was directly smashed by him, but even so, the anger in Zhang Weiping's heart still couldn't be suppressed.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

His efforts have become someone else's wedding dress?

"!"

……

The premiere of "The Avengers" was still held in theaters under the Pan Asia Cinema Line.

Outside one of the largest flagship theaters in the heart of New York City, a new red carpet runs from the theater entrance to the sidewalk.

There are many security guards standing on both sides, and behind them are a number of media and spectators who came to support the scene, as if they were crowded.

In addition to the main creative staff of the crew, Marvel also invited many stars to help, and all the actors who have participated in the filming of Marvel's movies came to the scene today.

In addition, DreamWorks, Lucasfilm, Lionsgate, Universal, Warner, Disney and many other companies have come to participate.

Chen Fei arrived relatively early today.

In many previous promotional activities, all the actors participated in the promotion, and he, the director, has never appeared.

And now, if the premiere is late, it will be a little too incompetent.

Robert Tonny Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Siddleston, Samuel L. Jackson......

As far as the eye can see, all the main creative members appeared on the red carpet in the dress of the play, which triggered waves of surging craze on the scene!

Among them, "Iron Man" is the most popular, and when he appeared on the scene, the cheers on both sides almost drowned out the entire red carpet!

In comparison, Chen Fei is mediocre.

He wore a black suit and walked the red carpet with Kevin Feige.

But no matter how low-key he is, he can't hide his transcendent popularity among the fan base.

“Fei！ I love you！ ”

A frantic roar suddenly came from the crowd.

Chen Fei subconsciously looked sideways, and saw a group of fans wearing jackets printed with the Red Bull logo waving their hands wildly towards him.

"Yo? Fans of Red Bull? ”

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and waved at the side with a smile.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, and actually picked up the Red Bull in his hand and threw it towards him.

He was quick and took the bottle of Red Bull in his hand very easily.

Glancing down at the closure, he didn't hesitate to pull the tab open after making sure it was a brand-new, unopened bottle of Red Bull.

"It's done!"

Signaling to the fan base, Chen Fei quickly drank the bottle of Red Bull.

For a while, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic!

Those fans who held Red Bull in their hands followed his movements in a similar way, ripped off the pull tab, drank all the drinks in the bottle in one gulp, and signaled to him in the air.

Chen Fei smiled.

''''''

Walking quickly to the signature wall, Chen Fei first took a photo with Kevin Feige, and then took a group photo with Robert Downey Jr. and other main creative members.

When they saw all the superheroes posing in front of the signature wall to take pictures, the fans at the scene shouted as if they were crazy.

Thanks to the large number of security personnel on site today, there is a high chance of a stampede!

At the end of the group photo, the group walked into the theater quickly.

After Chen Fei entered the venue, Leonardo and Matt Damon, the old acquaintances, greeted him as soon as possible: "Fei, this movie is about to explode at the box office again!" ”

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked at them in a little surprise: "Why do you say that?" ”

Matt Damon said: "Didn't you look at the IMDB online voting? On the list of movie expectations of fans in 2011, "The Avengers" ranked first, and even "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" did not rank as a superhero as you. ”

Chen Fei smiled slightly: "I hope the box office can be a big hit." ”

The investment of 250 million US dollars, if you simply want to achieve a return on the box office, you need at least 750 million US dollars.

As for the rest of the streaming on-demand and DVD disc sales, these have nothing to do with Chen Fei.

He is a director, and the box office is the best proof of his success!

Suddenly, just as Chen Fei was greeting the guests present today, Matt Damon walked over briskly with a middle-aged man.

"Fei, please allow me to introduce you to one of my best partners, Matthew McConaughey, who is my best friend and his acting skills are no worse than mine......"

Chen Fei looked at the white actor in front of him slightly.

The figure is quite strong, the appearance is not lower than Matt, wearing a decent custom suit, exuding a kind of male temperament from top to bottom.

"Hello." Chen Fei took the initiative to extend his hand to him.

Matthew McConaughey stretched out his hands and clasped them with him: "Fei, it's a great honor to meet you here, I watched the "Gravity" you starred in, and your performance in it is amazing......"

At this time, Xiao Lizi suddenly came out from the side and added with a smile: "In addition to being a three-gold director in Europe, Fei has also won the Berlin Silver Bear Best Actor, and his acting skills are no worse than mine." ”

Matt Damon suddenly quipped: "Leon, if I remember correctly, you seem to have won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor with your 'frowning, glaring, and roaring' triple hit?" ”

Xiao Lizi seemed to have been hit by a pain point, and immediately defended: "What frowning, glaring, and roaring? That's called emotional outflow......"

For a while, several people laughed.

Chen Fei looked sideways at Matthew McConaughey and said softly: "If you have a convenient time, you will come to Walton Pictures in a few days, and we will have a simple audition?" ”

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

The crew and guests entered the venue one after another, and the theater soon became lively.

When the lucky audience entered, it was like a fat Donglai supermarket full of people for a while.

Chen Fei glanced sideways and looked back, only to see that the fans wearing Red Bull jackets had also entered the scene, chattering about something.

Spielberg, who was sitting next to him, suddenly smiled and said, "Fei's fan base may be the largest among our directors, right?" ”

This remark attracted the unanimous approval of Cameron, Nolan and others.

Rao is famous for his various operations, and he is still a little worse than Chen Fei in terms of popularity.

It can't be helped, after all, he can't go and parachute in a swallow hole, this old bone is likely to be folded there.

As time went on, after everyone was seated, the lights on the ceiling went out one after another, the iMax screen lit up, and the theater immediately fell silent.

The premiere screening of "The Avengers" began.

The story begins in the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, where the value of the Cosmic Cube in the laboratory suddenly rises, and the portal automatically opens, teleporting Loki the Asgardian with a scepter......

A wonderful visual feast kicked off.

As the story of the film progresses, many superheroes such as Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man appear one by one.

In the previously released trailers, you can see the Hulk vs. the alien spaceship, the eagle-eyed marksman's arrows and other superheroes' fiery battle scenes, as well as the villain Loki holding the evil god scepter and killing all sides.

There are many people who think that it is already the most exciting part of the film, but when they actually see the finished film, they realize that compared to the excitement of the feature film, the film is not worth mentioning at all!

At the end of the film, in order to save the entire city, Iron Man did not hesitate to pay the price of his life and sent the "little boy" to the portal without hesitation......

Seeing this, Spielberg couldn't help but be happy.

He leaned over and whispered, "Fei, this is really a wonderful dream of the United States." ”

Chen Fei smiled slightly: "In our ancient Chinese saying, it is, 'follow the customs' of the locals." ”

Everything in the movie, whether it is war or crisis, is beautiful and pleasant, even more beautiful and pleasant than life, this is the "dream of the United States" that is often mentioned by many Hollywood filmmakers.

In the story of "The Avengers", the belief in the 'American dream' brings morale to all superheroes, especially in times of crisis, and the protagonist group shows the optimism that belongs to Lao Mei.

Chen Fei looked sideways and looked back, only to see a group of fans with wide eyes at this time, as if they were very excited.

That's what you want!

"Follow the customs" to earn the money of the United States, and then transfer the money back to China in batches to invest in various new scientific and technological fields......

This hand operation Chen Fei has already played very easily.

What Xiaomi, Tencent, Alibaba, optoelectronics, new energy...... If you analyze it deeply, there is actually his shadow in it.

Comprehensively improve economic development and enable the people to become rich, correspondingly, the development of domestic film and television culture can enter the fast lane.

If it was placed in the past, the box office of domestic movies would not be said to break 1 billion, even if it broke 600 million, it would be extremely difficult.

But now, a "Gravity" has earned 1.6 billion at the box office, which means that people already have spare money in their hands and have begun to chase spiritual wealth.

Straight to the point.

The premiere of "The Avengers" officially ends as the alien command ship is completely blown to pieces and Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man falls from the portal.

The lights on the ceiling lit up, and the extremely warm applause erupted like a tsunami, resounding throughout the theater, and even spread to the street outside, like a thunderclap on the ground!

There is no doubt that this is a classic commercial masterpiece.

In the entire history of Hollywood, there has never been a movie that has assembled so many superheroes.

This hodgepodge doesn't look messy, but rather delicious, and it's well worth repeating.

The applause in the theater continued one after another.

After Chen Fei got up and greeted the many guests sitting around him, he led a group of superheroes onto the stage.

The next step was supposed to be a curtain call, but he came up with a trick to do the opposite.

After receiving the microphone from the host, he announced directly: "With the release of "The Avengers", so far, the first phase of Marvel's film and television plan has officially come to an end. ”

There was a sudden uproar at the scene, and panicked expressions appeared on the faces of the fans present.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Marvel is going to end filming movies about superheroes from now on?

After the atmosphere reached a certain level, Chen Fei immediately announced: "From today onwards, Marvel will launch the second phase of the plan."

Led by "Iron Man 3", superhero movies such as "Thor 2: The Dark World", "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", and "Ant-Man" will be launched in turn, so please wait and see! ”

The voice fell, and the scene was suddenly boiling!

Fans finally put their minds at ease, it turned out that it was not about to end, but to start the second phase of the plan.

This was followed by a burst of whispers:

"So we're about to see at least six superhero movies in the next few years?"

"That's right, that's it, Fei is so cool, he's created a new superhero miracle!"

"By the way, why doesn't DC learn Marvel?"

"Warner's top brass have a brain problem, and DC has been spoiled by them."

……

After the premiere, "The Avengers" successfully opened in North America with 4,500 theaters.

The number of theaters opened alone has set a new record for the North American film market!

Not only Marvel and Walton Pictures, but the market is also full of confidence in "The Avengers".

The quality of the film is excellent, the publicity and marketing efforts are strong enough, plus so many superhero appeal, and the fan appeal of director Chen Fei......

All things considered, everyone is sure that this movie is bound to create a very good box office result!

While waiting for the box office on the first day, Chen Fei did not forget to log on to the mainland website to check the news about the Chinese New Year file.

The box office results of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" on the first day were high on the front page page of the film and television information network.

21 million!

He glanced at the information below.

The media is scrambling to report on the box office results of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", which seems to be a sign of a good start for the Chinese New Year.

On the other hand, the comments on Douban, Tieba, and Weibo are completely contrary to media reports.

"The actor's appearance is quite good, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, this should be considered an advantage, right? Unfortunately, there seems to be only one advantage......"

"What's this horse shooting? Is it really a historical blockbuster? Why does it reveal a feeling of fighting in Causeway Bay everywhere? ”

"What do I see? "The Legend of the Hung Gate Banquet"? Can you take it seriously? ”

"Poof, laugh at me, the confrontation between the two armies is like a fight between the two armies, and it's not even as exciting as the fight between Chen Haonan and Situ Haonan!"

“……”

Looking at the many bad comments on the Internet, Chen Fei pursed his lips.

It's also a good start, and the door was obviously forcibly closed before it was opened.

Director Xiangjiang never seems to have made a film with a historical theme, whether it is costumes or props.

As for the kind of large-scale battle scenes, not to mention, there is a feeling of old boy brawl everywhere, which makes people watch extremely dramatic.

Looking at the parts that the media boasted about the opposite, sure enough, there was no mention of any merits about the plot.

This is a Hongmen feast!

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the most critical figures among them!

But in the hands of Li Rengang, the second half directly pushed the two heroes to the edge......

"Alas!" Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Made, it's just a waste of a good subject. ”

……

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