On the 20th, after more than half a month of release, the North American box office of "The Avengers" officially entered the $500 million mark.

At the same time, the film's global box office performance has officially exceeded the $1 billion mark!

This is still a result that the movie has not been released in many countries!

Not to mention anything else, the Chinese Film Market alone can at least provide at least $100 million at the box office for "The Avengers".

It's a pity that the Chinese New Year file is too important for Chinese-language films, and Hollywood blockbusters can't enter the market, and this box office blessing will not be successfully obtained until at least February.

On the other hand, several other movies released at the same time, compared to "The Avengers", can be said to be out of reach.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II" barely exceeded $200 million at the box office in the first week in North America, and the daily increase has fallen to the $10 million level, and the growth trend is showing a weak state of rapid decline.

The global box office has barely broken $450 million, far from the $1 billion mark.

As for the subsequent release of "Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", the box office on the first day was only $14.6 million, and the first weekend was reported to be $39.62 million, which is completely different from the first two!

This also reflects the fact that after leaving "Iron Man", Robert Downey Jr.'s ability to resist the box office seems to be declining rapidly.

As for "Rat Treasure 3", which was released on the 16th, under the siege of many movies, there was no splash at all.

The first three days of the weekend were less than $30 million, and the lMDb score was only 4 points, and the overall fan evaluation was not good......

By any measure, the film won't be much better.

Twentieth Century Fox has been pulling his crotch for several years.

For a while, all the eyes of Hollywood were focused on "Mission Impossible 4".

If Tom's movie continues to pull his hips, then this year's annual box office champion can basically be locked.

There are currently three movies with a total global box office of more than $1 billion, namely "Transformers 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Stormy Tides" and "The Avengers".

And when it comes to box office potential, "The Avengers" is definitely a sure win!

On the day of the official release of "Mission Impossible 4", it happened that Liu Yifei and Liu's mother came to Los Angeles from China.

Adhering to the attitude of "learning" the spirit of his predecessors, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei and went straight to the cinema and contributed two movie tickets to Tom.

"It's... Burj Khalifa? ”

Looking at the iconic world's tallest building in the picture, Liu Yifei couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Yes." Chen Fei nodded slightly: "I heard Tom Cruise say that they used on-site shooting, and Tom personally hung a steel wire and walked on the glass façade of the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa, thus taking this picture. ”

"That's amazing!"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and she let out an exclamation again, her small mouth opened slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of impatience in her eyes.

Obviously, she still has a high interest in action scenes.

Chen Fei asked at the right time, "What?" Do you want to try it too? ”

"May I?" Miss Liu blinked her eyes, her face full of anticipation.

"What's not to be afraid of?" Chen Fei suddenly thought of the new task issued to him by the system: "The next time we have the opportunity, we can also go to various landmark areas around the world to shoot, and I will take you to try it when the time comes." ”

"Okay! Okay! ”

Liu Yifei nodded again and again, already beginning to look forward to it.

In fact, since the 16th, "Mission Impossible 4" has been released on a small scale in 425 theaters in North America, mainly for IMAX screenings, and has earned $13 million in three days over the weekend, ranking third in the North American box office list.

After the large-scale release on the 21st, it won the fourth week of the North American box office with a box office of $4,955 in the first weekend.

The result clearly met the requirements of Paramount and Tom Cruise, who had already opened champagne at halftime.

However, if you look at the overall box office results, "The Avengers" will definitely win.

The annual box office champion must not be able to run!

……

After relaxing, Chen Fei's gaze moved to the mainland again.

He originally wanted to see which company could finally bring Zhang Yimou, a fierce general, under his command.

But what he never expected was that Huayi was stolen by the emperor!

Now the entertainment news section is full of news: "Yang Shoucheng spent a huge amount of money to poach Ge You from Huayi and signed a five-year contract with him".

Chen Fei glanced at the media reports.

Emperor promised to build three big-budget films for Ge Wei during the contract period, and guaranteed that the total investment would not be less than 500 million.

Under such favorable conditions, Uncle Ge turned around and threw himself into the arms of the emperor very "wisely".

"Huh? That's big enough! ”

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the Flying Shadow Emperor brokerage company that he participated in.

China Film only acts as a cornerstone in this brokerage company, not responsible for managing the business, only caring about the money.

Of course, if there is a suitable project, China Film will also select people from within the brokerage company as soon as possible.

And the same is true for Chen Fei, as long as there is a suitable project, he will definitely think about the artists signed by the agency as soon as possible.

As for Emperor and Fok Wenxi, they are more responsible for managing the business, as well as the acting agency work of the actors under Emperor in the mainland.

Now, Uncle Ge has become an actor under the Emperor, so the brokerage business in the mainland obviously has to be attached to the Flying Shadow Emperor brokerage company.

And this also seems to mean that Uncle Ge has become half an artist of the Flying Shadow Emperor's agency?

"? The big and small kings are not allowed to fry the pan directly? ”

Chen Fei immediately began to search for news about Huayi.

As expected, according to media reports, because of Ge Wei's willingness to leave, the stock price of Huayi Company plummeted, and people were even more panicked inside!

In fact, it is normal for this situation to occur, most of the movies that Huayi has made money over the years have been made by Feng Xiaogang and Ge Wei.

And now, even if Feng Xiaogang keeps shouting on Weibo that he will never leave, he can't hide the fact that Huayi has lost a general!

Chen Fei even saw the statements and announcements made by Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei online.

"Please rest assured that even if Ge Wei leaves, it will not have any impact on the company's future benefits, and director Feng Xiaogang will unswervingly stand on the side of Huayi......"

The earth-shattering sound of the could not restore the disappointment of shareholders in Huayi.

The stock price is still falling, and there is no sign of any recovery.

Chen Fei deliberately glanced at his stock account, and soon found that in just a few days, more than 10 million had evaporated.

"Both brothers are on the ......"

He wondered what these two people were eating, they couldn't even take care of their own home, but they were stolen by the emperor.

At this time, within the Huayi company.

"The stock price is still falling?" Wang Zhongjun set his eyes on the assistant.

The assistant nodded very honestly and responded: "Yes, Mr. Wang, it has fallen to the limit at present." ”

"!"

Wang Zhongjun directly burst into foul language, and at the same time became more determined that "de-simplification of films" is a very correct path.

As a listed company in the film and television industry, relying too much on actors, stars, and directors will inevitably cause big problems!

For example, now, as soon as Ge Wei leaves, the stock will fall directly.

If Feng Xiaogang pats his ass and leaves tomorrow, won't the company have to be delisted directly?

Wang Zhonglei was anxious on the side: "Brother, what should we do now?" The wind outside is extremely unfavorable to us, and if it continues like this, the company's stock will definitely continue to fall! ”

At this moment, Wang Zhongjun suddenly remembered the time when Wang Jinghua left.

There are also people in the company who are panicking, and there are many news that is unfavorable to Huayi.

So at that time, how did Huayi survive that crisis?

"The Wind" was a box office hit, after Zhou Xun was sealed, Deng Chao officially signed a contract with Huayi......

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongjun immediately made a decision and quickly ordered: "Let out the news to the outside world, "Journey to the West" is about to be completed, Zhang Yimou will leave the new picture and reach a strategic cooperation with Huayi, the top priority is to let the whirlpool of public opinion out of Huayi......

Zhong Lei, you contact a few more media, and then go to Zhang Yimou's studio to run, be sure to create the illusion that the two sides are about to reach a cooperation. ”

is worthy of the old rivers and lakes, in just a few minutes, Wang Zhongjun has already thought of a basket of plans.

The departure of Ge Wei and the fall in the stock price have become an established fact, which cannot be changed, but stabilizing the current situation is the most important thing.

At the very least, we have to stop the downward trend of stock prices!

……

When it comes to eating soft rice, Boss Jia is also one of the experts.

In addition to Huayi's theft by the Emperor, Chen Fei also saw the news of LeTV's investment party on the film and television information network.

At the party that day, "Gan Wei", one of the four beauties in Beijing, appeared as the proprietress and investor of LeTV, which can be said to have earned enough limelight.

In the on-site photos taken by the media, many well-known directors, producers, and actors in the industry frequently appeared and interacted with Mr. Jia and his wife in a friendly manner, as if they were all "their own family".

Chen Fei thought about it and sent an email to Su Guohai very seriously.

The content is simple, just four words:

"Stay away from LeTV!"

For this Boss Jia, Chen Fei's idea is that if you don't get close, you don't get close, everyone goes their own way, and it's best not to have any intersections.

He doesn't want to end up being spurned by thousands of people in the future!

Or that there is a lot of fun in the entertainment industry.

In addition to Boss Jia, who started with "eating soft rice" and "bragging", there are even people who shout that they want to use "writing novels" as a springboard to officially enter the film industry as a director!

"I will spend a year adapting my published novel into a film script, and learn directing skills in many aspects and dimensions, and strive to be able to form a team and start filming by this time next year......"

When he saw this Weibo posted by Guo Jingming, Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and his mind unconsciously jumped out of various bad incidents.

It's just that under this Weibo, there are all voices waving flags and shouting.

Fans seem to have a kind of brainless inclusiveness for all kinds of behaviors of idols, which makes people extremely disgusting to watch.

On the Internet, you can often see female fans washing all kinds of idols, and even those who gather to attract fans, there are even people behind them!

Should I say it or not, these people are chasing stars and chasing their brains badly!

Different from the support of fans, most people in the circle have an attitude of watching jokes when they see Guo Jingming's Weibo.

"Plagiarism, hype, buying a water army, hehe, the head is not big, but there is a lot of bad water."

"Is this kind of person still worthy of being a writer? Still want to be a screenwriter? Making a movie? Damn, everyone really wants to come to the circle and stick a kick. ”

"Maybe short people are born with a fighting characteristic, such as... I don't know how thick the sky is? ”

Solidarity, quarrels, all kinds of black fans, all kinds of die-hard fans, all kinds of washing, mixed with some people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement......

After eating "melons" for more than an hour, Chen Fei closed the film and television information website with satisfaction.

"Enough to hold on! Enough to fill! ”

He was just about to check if there was any omission in the sudden drawing of the storyboard of "Interstellar", when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.

The caller ID is marked with the name "Han Sanping".

Answering the phone, Chen Fei casually asked, "Mr. Han?" Something? ”

"I called here to inform you that the domestic release schedule of "The Avengers" has been determined, and it will officially land in mainland theaters in February, so remember to prepare."

February?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned: "After the Spring Festival? ”

"Yes!"

Recalling the news about the "bilateral agreement" he saw on the Internet in the past few days, Chen Fei suddenly had some thoughts.

He asked tentatively, "I heard that the six major film studios here in Hollywood have joined forces to sue the Film Bureau?" Is it true to say that our film policy is too xenophobic and requires an increase in the number and proportion of imported account-sharing films? ”

After Han Sanping was silent for a moment, she didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's true." ”

China has been deliberately squeezing imported films to protect domestic films over the years.

Especially in the past few years of Han Sanping's reign, under his operation, imported films are usually released in the same month with several movies, fighting each other!

For example, in the coming January, many Hollywood blockbusters such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", "Mission Impossible 4, Ghost Protocol" and other Hollywood blockbusters will be put into this month to fight.

Comparatively speaking, "The Avengers" is relatively lucky, because of Chen Fei, he has a one-month window screening period.

And at these three time nodes, such as summer vacation, National Day, and Chinese New Year, there are no imported blockbusters.

Because of this, these three periods are also called "Domestic Film Protection Month".

However, this kind of protection did not make domestic films have the idea of "being prepared for danger in times of peace", but on the contrary, they were all rotten, which directly led to the frequent emergence of bad movies!

"I can't talk to you about the extra words, I should be able to see the results before the Spring Festival."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Han Sanping's tone was complicated: "Chen Fei, the difficult years of domestic films may be coming, and Feiyue Film and Television must resist it!" ”

"Haha, don't worry."

Chen Fei chuckled lightly and glanced at the new task released by the system.

[Challenge Mission: (Go to the Mariana Trench, dive to the maximum depth without wearing any oxygen equipment, and successfully dive from the Eurasian Plate to the Pacific Plate), the difficulty coefficient is 9 stars, and you can get the SS-level reward blind box by completing the mission. 】

The new quest has been issued by the system, which means that at least 5 more scripts can be harvested in the future!

Under the premise of continuously producing high-quality movie scripts, how can Feiyue Film and Television not be able to withstand the impact of Hollywood movies?

After ending the call with Han Sanping, Chen Fei contacted Flory as soon as possible and informed the other party of his latest challenge.

"Diving across the Mariana Trench without the help of any oxygen equipment?"

After hearing Chen Fei's words, Rao is Red Bull agent Flory, who has seen many extreme challenge sports, was also completely confused.

He has seen many ways to die, but this kind of self-suicidal behavior is still very rare!

Although he wanted to say something, when he thought of Chen Fei's unconventional character, he still chose to nod silently.

"Fei, I will definitely prepare the rest of the equipment for you except for the oxygen equipment, and try to ensure that you can return safely!"

"Okay, no rush, take your time, and I'll contact you in advance when I decide to start the challenge."

“Ok！”

After a brief conversation, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

He didn't make any special arrangements, with the tacit understanding between the two before, Florey would help him get everything done.

Not to mention Red Bull, it will definitely be 100% cooperative!

What is the end of hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsement fees every year?

Isn't it just to highlight Red Bull's "pushing the limits" attribute?

……

Huayi's actions were very fast, and within a few days, the current deadlock was reversed, showing the ability of the "dragon head".

All of a sudden, all sorts of news appeared on the Internet!

"According to reliable sources, Zhang Yimou has confirmed that he will end his cooperation with Xinhua, and will switch to Huayi next, and has prepared a new script."

Feng Xiaogang said in an exclusive interview with reporters that "1942" is expected to be completed in mid-January, and the new script has been determined to be a comedy work, which probably tells a story about realizing the dream of a customer, and the target box office is 700 million!

"Following the new picture, Feiyue Film and Television, Huayi has also embarked on the journey of gambling with the theater chain, and the new film "Journey to the West" directed by Zhou Xingchi will launch a box office account sharing ratio VAM agreement with the theater, and the specific content has not yet been disclosed......

Among all kinds of mixed news, Chen Fei also saw a piece of news about "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".

After 25 days of release, the box office reported 150 million, and the daily box office has dropped by 1 million, and it may be withdrawn by the theater at any time.

In the eyes of many production companies, this large-scale historical film with an investment of up to 200 million yuan can be regarded as a complete loss to grandma's family!

This also confirms a truth from the side.

Director Xiangjiang really can't make a historical film!

"Warring States", "Guan Yunchang", "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", ......

Just like Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", these directors of Xiangjiang have also verified again and again, and they are not equal to historical films at all!

At the same time, with "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the film was also screened in Los Angeles on a small scale.

Chen Fei called Wen Ziren, Catherine, Spielberg, Woody Allen and others to watch the movie together.

I have to say that although Lao Mouzi is making a war movie for the first time, the plot is not empty, but rather thick, not at all like a new war theme.

It's just that the investment of more than 600 million is too exaggerated!

After watching the movie carefully, Chen Fei couldn't figure out where the 600 million investment was spent?

Is it really like what netizens said, it cost more than 10 million to customize just a piece of glass?

……

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