"Dragon Gate Flying Armor", box office on the first day of release: 24.59 million.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", box office on the first day of release: 23.28 million.

Looking at these two data, combined with the fact that the release time of the two movies is Thursday, which is a relatively unpopular time, Chen Fei nodded secretly.

If nothing else, Xu Laowei should be making a lot of money this time.

As for Lao Mouzi...... It is estimated that it is difficult to get the director's fee!

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly recalled the news that Su Guohai had reported to him before.

At the premiere of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the bosses of major film and television companies in the circle, actors and stars from all walks of life, and well-known media all came together to congratulate Yu Dong and Bona, and they couldn't see the anger of being stabbed in the back before.

On the other hand, at the premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the major film and television companies only sent representatives, and the actors and stars only had three or two kittens, and the scene looked extremely shabby.

"Vanity Fair" is like this, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and stepping on highs and lows are essential skills for everyone.

PropNex is a giant entertainment company listed on the NASDAQ, second only to China Film.

Even if Yu Dong rectified a lot of commotion operations, there would still be many people who would go up and lick him, completely ignoring the injuries he had received before.

And what about the new picture?

is just a Zhang Wei comment, even if Zhang Yimou is added, at most, it is only valued by major film and television companies in the circle, and it is far from being "kneeled and licked".

However, in comparison, the premiere of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" received more attention and more fun.

The media reporters didn't care about the plot of the movie at all, and all their attention was on the "little essay".

Finally found an opportunity, how could they let it go?

Zhang Yimou directly became the target of the media's fire, and in the interview session after the screening, a reporter boldly said: "Is "Me and Bell Acting in a Bed Scene" written by Ni Ne? ”

This question seems to be asking the heroine, but the microphone and camera are aimed at Zhang Yimou.

The anger in Lao Mouzi's heart came up all of a sudden, and he responded sharply: "The actor only found out after the fact, and that article was completely someone's despicable hype with no bottom line!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of reporters and cameras were all aimed at Zhang Weiping.

The new picture has been established for so many years, who doesn't know that Zhang Weiping likes to engage in that kind of indiscriminate operation?

And who else can compete with Zhang Yimou, besides him?

However, in the face of reporters' doubts, Zhang Weiping always adheres to the characteristics of 'I am shameless, and none of you can do anything about me'.

"I went to investigate afterwards, this is actually an employee who thinks about the movie did it privately, although the behavior is immoral, but the starting point is good, I have criticized it, and I can promise that this kind of incident will never happen again next time."

If 'shameless' can be regarded as a martial arts cheat, Zhang Weiping has definitely cultivated to the realm of Dacheng!

After taking his eyes away from the box office data, Chen Fei went to check the fan and critic reviews of the two films.

The first is "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

"The special effects are cool, and the plot is sparse."

"The movie I watched in the imaX 3d theater, the special effects are really good, but the plot is really ...... Alas, it's a real disappointment. ”

"The most brilliant part of this movie should be the part where Chen Kun appeared, right? Other than that, there really aren't any highlights. ”

"If you like to watch brainless special effects movies, you can go, but if you pay attention to the plot, forget it."

is different from the bad reviews of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is relatively much better.

"The plot is thick, it is worthy of being directed by Zhang Yimou!"

"Overall, this dramatic tale of human nature set against the backdrop of a shocking war is thought-provoking, heartfelt, and unforgettable, and highly recommended!"

"The movie won in the wonderful portrayal of the original characters, but lost in the excessive sensationalism."

"There is an omniscient and all-powerful point of view in the film: the glass round window on the church, from where the bullets hit, the point of view goes out, the picture inside is seen through there, the events outside are seen through this window, in religious architecture, the name of the round window of the church is 'God's eye', this is not a simple Western-centric problem, nor is it a question of worshipping the foreign, but the gaze of a huge cultural self-vacuum!"

"I heard that the piece of glass on the church cost more than 10 million? Could this be another "straw hat incident" similar to Chen Kexin? ”

Looking at the many comments on the Internet, Chen Fei suddenly wanted to take a look at this "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Lao Mouzi's film works are still worth learning.

……

And at this time, the new picture within the company.

As soon as the box office data of the two films "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" were announced, Zhang Weiping received the news as soon as possible.

He deliberately glanced at the media reports on the Internet, and as expected, most of them were praising the high and the low.

"The box office performance of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" on the first day was 1.31 million yuan more than that of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and the new picture was upset in the first battle!"

"Zhang Weiping's rotation of operations has become a joke, and the audience has more choices to support "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

"It is reported that many theaters strongly boycotted the new picture, and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was not fully released in domestic theaters."

"According to the new picture insiders, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou had many conflicts during the filming of the movie, and they experienced several fierce quarrels before the release, and it is suspected that they will part ways."

"Recently, Zhang Yimou's studio has welcomed a large number of visitors, and the CEOs of Huayi, Guangguang, Orange Sky, Bona, Xingmei, LeTV, Pony Galloping and other companies have frequently appeared, which seems to indicate that after the end of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the "National Teacher" will look for new partners......"

In fact, on the day of the premiere, some media discovered that Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou were suspected of having a major conflict, because the two sides had no communication at the event!

Who would be a fool in this circle?

It is easy to analyze through various signs that irreconcilable contradictions and disputes must have arisen between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, otherwise the two sides would not be so cold.

Maybe that little essay is the fuse!

Of course, it doesn't matter.

What really matters is that Zhang Yimou's studio is likely to be completely out of the new picture!

This is also the reason why many film and television companies in the circle frequently visit Zhang Yimou.

Even though the national teacher has pounced on several movies one after another, the commercial appeal is still very strong, and the movies he makes can usually be sold abroad for high copyrights.

It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone can take Zhang Yimou under his command and then arrange for him to make a few literary films, he will inevitably rise rapidly!

"Smack!"

In the office, the assistant's newly bought vase was directly smashed again by Zhang Weiping.

Looking at the various news reports on the Internet about the new picture, and the frequent contact with Zhang Yimou by other film and television companies, he felt annoyed in his heart.

At this moment, he even experienced the feeling of being "backstabbed"!

Rao is he previously made a special announcement on Weibo, saying that he and Zhang Yimou have cooperated for more than ten years, and there has never been a contradiction, and the new picture and Zhang Yimou's studio will never be separated, but he can't stand up to Lao Mouzi's various denials.

When participating in a promotional event, a reporter at the scene asked Zhang Yimou whether he wanted to end his cooperation with New Pictures.

Although he did not admit it at the time, he did not deny it either.

This ambiguous response immediately sparked a heated discussion in the circle!

You don't have to guess to know that Lao Mouzi definitely has the intention of leaving.

And this operation also became the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely breaking Zhang Weiping's dream.

He knows very well that after the end of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", he will completely lose Zhang Yimou's cash cow!

In fact, during this time, he also tried to find Zhang Yimou, but the result was not as he expected.

The "goodwill" attitude he exuded has become a naked "fraud" scam for Lao Mouzi.

After working together for more than ten years, both sides know each other too well.

Whether Zhang Wei's comment is sincere or false, Zhang Yimou can see very clearly.

That little essay was indeed the fuse, which made Zhang Yimou completely firm in his idea of leaving!

"Mr. Zhang?"

The secretary pushed the door and walked in, glanced at the shards of porcelain spilled on the ground, and suddenly had a headache.

During this time, Zhang Weiping didn't know how many vases he had smashed, and he had to let her clean it up every time.

Not to mention Zhang Yimou, even she, the secretary, doesn't want to serve.

If it weren't for that high salary, there would definitely be a long queue of people who resigned from the new picture!

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang suddenly, Zhang Weiping picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly.

He didn't rush to connect, but looked at the approaching secretary, and raised his hand to the office door: "Get out!" Come in and clean up in 10 minutes! ”

"Oh."

After the secretary left, he couldn't wait to press the connect button.

"Hello? Xu Lu ......"

"Great review!" A slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone: "I have carefully read the contract you sent, your side does not occupy any advantage, the contract is over, and the new picture and Zhang Yimou's studio will not be involved." ”

The hope in Zhang Weiping's eyes quickly faded, and he asked a little reluctantly: "Is there no loophole that can be drilled?" ”

"No, after the release of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the two of you have no connection at all."

"Okay, thank you Xu Lu......"

When he took the initiative to hang up the phone, Zhang Weiping could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, grabbed the chair behind him and smashed it at the computer.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The secretary at the door walked quickly away from Zhang Weiping's office.

The sound of "da-da-da" of high-heeled shoes resounded in the aisle, and the secretary's eyes were full of fear, and he had already decided to stay away from the company.

No matter how much money you make, it's too bad to spend it!

After a good mess, the anger in Zhang Weiping's heart finally subsided a little.

He walked towards the safe, and after some tedious manipulation, the safe door was slowly opened.

Taking out a document bag from the deepest part of the safe, he took out and looked at the various photocopied documents about the birth certificate inside, and his face gradually became dyed with a thick madness!

"If you want to destroy it, then destroy it together!"

……

……

Just when "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" started the second day of the war, at noon, a piece of news suddenly came back to China from the other side of the ocean.

Zhang Yimou's "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

As the weather vane of the Oscars every year, the importance of Golden Globe nominations can be seen!

After this news was transmitted back to China, it immediately logged on to the front page of major film and television information websites, and Weibo directly topped the hot search list.

At this moment, the mainland entertainment industry is completely boiling!

A number of media outlets published articles in which various analogies were made.

Among the directors in the Chinese film industry, only Chen Kaige, Li Press, and Chen Fei have won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Except for these three people, there is no one else among the Chinese directors.

And now, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has been nominated, and many foreign media and film critics have written high praise for this film, which obviously means that the probability of the film winning the award is very high.

All kinds of news on the Internet have made "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" a hot topic on the whole network.

At the same time, this news also played a very big role in the promotion of the movie!

On the 17th, when the box office data of the two movies were released again, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" defeated "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" with an overwhelming advantage without any suspense.

The former is 36.75 million and the latter is 30.35 million.

And on Saturday and Sunday, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" broke out with a very strong record!

50.35 million! 48.92 million!

On the other hand, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" only got 44.06 million and 36.95 million results.

Added together, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" got a total of 159 million box office results, while "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" only got 135 million box office results.

Which is stronger and which is weak, clear and clear, and make a judgment from above!

For a while, there were more film and television company bosses who went to Zhang Yimou's studio to visit, and those who had been there several times before ran more often.

On the other hand, there was no movement on Boeau's side.

took the initiative to reduce ticket prices and concessions to the theater line, in exchange for such a high number of films, but in the end it still lost to "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Yu Dongdu was about to vomit blood in anger!

His operation was completely thankless, not only making many production companies in the industry dissatisfied with him, but even losing to Zhang Weiping and New Pictures at the box office.

Don't even think about it, there will definitely be a wave of ridicule on the Internet.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Yu Dong became.

"Smack!"

He suddenly slapped the table, picked up the phone and called the driver: "Prepare the car, let's go to Zhang Yimou's studio again." ”

Since he temporarily lost to Zhang Weiping at the box office, let's find a way to dig up his people, and I have to get back the lost face no matter what!

……

Chen Fei looked at the news on the Internet and couldn't help but be a little confused.

Isn't it just a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and it's not already awarded, is it necessary to make such a big noise?

He himself has already won two Oscars for director statuette, two Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, two Oscars for Best Animated Film, and there are countless Golden Globe Awards in his hand, and he has never been so excited?

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping even wrote a letter of thanks to the Golden Globe Award judges in pure English, and Chen Fei, who looked humblely, felt a sore tooth.

Before he came into contact with Hollywood, he was really yearning for foreign awards such as the Oscars and Golden Globes.

But after he really entered this industry, he found that the judges on the Hollywood side were even more realistic than the old men in the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, and Academy Awards in the mainland!

As long as you are willing to spend your blood, it is definitely not difficult to make an Oscar statuette.

For example, "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" produced by Walton Pictures has been crazy about major awards recently.

The eldest cousin has already won several Best Actress awards, and was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

If nothing else, the Best Actress nomination at the Oscars is also in hand.

Chen Fei and Natasha have already discussed, and they will do their best to promote their eldest cousin to win the Oscar for Best Actress, and take this opportunity to show the strength of Walton Pictures!

The goals of the two have never changed.

Punching Disney, stepping on Fox, suppressing Paramount, punching Warner, what Columbia, Universal Pictures are all younger brothers......

Walton Pictures will inevitably become the well-deserved boss of Hollywood's "New Seven"!

It's just that before that, Chen Fei had to fight with Harvey Weinstein.

According to reliable sources in Hollywood circles, Weinstein Pictures will vigorously push Meryl Streep, the actress of "Iron Lady: Strong and Tender", to compete for the Oscar for Best Actress.

It just so happens that "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" will also compete for the Best Actress award.

Following the 83rd Academy Awards, Walton Pictures and Weinstein Pictures once again went head-to-head.

Last time, Xavi lost badly.

And this time, he will definitely not give up!

While Chen Fei was "making a move", he was ready to "take over".

Isn't it just spending money to operate?

Compared with financial resources, Walton Pictures does not instigate Weinstein Pictures at all, and now what we have to watch out for is that this old dog is engaged in all kinds of saucy operations behind the scenes, or is a black hand!

The example of "Saving Private Ryan" is in front of him, so Chen Fei can't be cautious.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that at the premiere dinner of "Mission Impossible 4, Ghost Protocol", he actually met Harvey Weinstein, who is known as the king of Oscar public relations.

"Fei, long time no see."

Harvey's face was full of smirks, and he raised his wine glass and saluted Chen Fei's side.

While speaking, he even walked over deliberately and looked at Chen Fei with a condescending attitude, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.

After drinking the red wine in the glass in one gulp, he deliberately aimed the wine glass at Chen Fei's head, pretending to joke: "Fei, I don't know which one will be harder, this cup or your head?" ”

Because of the big advantage of height and weight, most people will subconsciously back down when facing Harvey Weinstein.

However, the smile on Chen Fei's face suddenly became brighter.

He tilted his head slightly, although he was looking up at Harvey, but his momentum was not weaker than the other party: "Harvey, there is a message that you may not know very well.

In our Chinese film and television industry, I am the most capable of all martial arts instructors, even Jackie Chen and Jet Li have to admit defeat obediently when facing me.

So now, would you like to give it a try? Will your glass hit my head first, or will my fist knock me down first? ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Harvey's face suddenly froze.

He glanced at Chen Fei very seriously, and then quickly realized that Chen Fei's words were not a joke.

Adhering to the principle of 'heroes don't suffer immediate losses', he quickly took two steps back and said with a serious expression: "If you dare to do it, I will immediately shout LAPD to ensure that you can't eat and walk around!" ”

"Oh, coward." Chen Fei pursed his lips, feeling bored.

He was still thinking just now that Harvey was so fat that he should be able to take a few punches from him, maybe it would be a good human flesh punching bag.

But I never expected that this guy would wilt!

"You ......"

Listening to Chen Fei's mocking words, Harvey's face changed for a while, and finally he could only turn into a soft sentence: "Let's see, let's see you at the Oscars!" It's sure to make you look good! ”

"Burn the pen!"

Chen Fei returned his middle finger with disdain.
