504, Happy Widow?
When it comes to dedication, Yang Mi is indeed one of the best among the actresses in domestic entertainment.
With the announcement of "Da Wusheng" and "Four Famous Catches 2" one after another, she united with the crew of "Love Seattle" as soon as possible and announced the fixing of the angle.
The media quickly reported the news after receiving the news.
"The movie "Love in Seattle", written and directed by Xue Xiaolu, was officially established, and it has indeed played the role of the heroine 'Wen Jiajia' for Yang Mi."
"It is reported that the investment in this film is as high as more than 30 million, and the well-known actress Haiqing in the circle will also participate in it."
"The investor column includes China Film, Feiyue Film and Television, Movie Channel, etc., and it is suspected that it will be a high-quality urban love movie equivalent to "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".
The first time he saw the news, Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and then immediately called Su Guohai.
"You're sure of the investment in Seattle?"
"Yes." Su Guohai obviously didn't expect that Chen Fei would ask about such a trivial matter, so he simply explained two more sentences:
"The shooting team will use the production team of Feiyue Film and Television, which is a project of China Film, and Mr. Han specially asked us to participate in it......"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Fei directly interrupted: "Is the actor decided?" β
"It hasn't been determined yet, but Director Xue seems to be in contact with the actors on the Chinese opera side, and there seems to be an actor named 'Wu Rubo' who is in contact with the role of 'Hao Zhi'."
Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it has not yet been decided, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of trouble later.
After pondering for a while, a name quickly popped up in his mind: "What has Jiao Enjun been doing lately?" Still tossing his new album? β
"Well, that's right, but it's a pity that it didn't sell very well."
Su Guohai also deliberately explained: "The sales of his new album "Mr. Vincent" are particularly dismal, and at the same time, he actually encountered Zhou Jie's new album "Exclamation Point"!
There are also Xu Song's new song "Thousand Hundred Degrees", Wang Sulong's new song "Love Without Breaking Up", Xu Liang's new song "Guest Officer Can't", as well as excellent works such as "Love Offering", "Three Inches of Heaven", "Unforgivable", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "Father" and other excellent works.
In the face of these songs, his new album didn't even make a splash. β
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then silently mourned for Jiao Enjun in his heart.
In the face of so many strong opponents, it would be strange if he could fight hard!
"You contact him and arrange for him to audition for the role of 'Hao Zhi', he is also a man, try to go to the film industry to flutter and see if he can make a splash."
"Okay."
Su Guohai didn't think much about it and responded.
It's just a small-budget urban romance movie actor, as long as Jiao Enjun's acting skills are in place, just say hello to Xue Xiaolu.
As for Han Sanping, it's even better to say, as long as it is Chen Fei's opinion, he has never refuted it.
As long as you can make money, for these producer investment bigwigs, the rest is a trivial matter.
β¦β¦
Towards the end of 11 years, Chen Fei finally handled the work at hand.
"The Hunger Games 2: Sparks", "Game of Thrones Season 3", and "Spartacus Season 2" have all passed the negative film review and have now officially moved to post-production.
As for Marvel's side, the preparations for "Iron Man III" are almost over.
The film is still directed by Jon Favreau, and the protagonist is naturally Robert Downey Jr.
According to the plan, the official release time of the movie will be in 2013.
As for this time period in 2012, Marvel Studios will not release any works.
In addition to digesting the previous various account-sharing gains, it is also necessary to vigorously promote the development of the offline market, and DVD and streaming media on demand must be followed up in time.
On the Hollywood side, box office revenue actually only accounts for about 30% of a movie's total revenue, and the remaining 70% has to be recovered offline.
This will be a task that Kevin Feige will need to follow up on in 2012.
At the same time, the preparatory work for the two films "Thor 2: The Dark World" and "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" has to begin.
The year-round schedule is full, and Kevin Feige is also painful and happy.
As for "Kung Fu Panda 3" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2" on DreamWorks Animation's side, according to Jeffrey Katzenberg's expectations, they will probably be successfully completed around April.
The late stage of "Amazing Demon Thieves" has been completed 2/3, and the script of "Transformers 4" has not yet been written......
After a round turn, Chen Fei finally decided to give the DreamWorks film department some intensity.
Spielberg was so idle that he even had time to make an animated film last year, and although the global box office was reported to be $390 million, it really didn't fit his style.
Chen Fei is going to take some time to send him a sci-fi script, so that this old man can show his hard power again!
Eyes turn back to The Avengers.
As the showtime approached a month, the North American box office managed to surpass $600 million, and the global box office total reached $1.3 billion.
According to the prediction of the industry evaluation agency on the Hollywood side, before the film is officially offline, if nothing else, it should break the North American box office record of "Inception"!
As for the global box office record, it is estimated that it is very difficult.
After all, the former's global box office is as high as $1.8 billion, while "The Avengers" has just climbed to $1.3 billion, and the $500 million in between is not so easy to make up.
Chen Fei didn't care much about it.
He is now bent on defeating "Avatar" and getting back the box office crown in film history.
Since the first "Avengers" was unsuccessful, there are more "Avengers" waiting in line for release in the future.
The mountain is high and the road is far away, let's see!
β¦β¦
As for the domestic side, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" have completely gone crazy!
The two movies directly carved up ninety percent of the market share of the Lunar New Year, and the box office both exceeded 350 million and are advancing towards 400 million.
According to the current trend of new daily box office increases, if nothing else, the box office of the two movies should both end at around 500 million.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" may break 600 million, but it is estimated that it will barely break through.
Thanks to the blessing of the Golden Globe Award nomination, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has been pressing "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" with a hammer, and the former box office always presses the latter.
It's just that, unlike Bona's various celebrations and half-time champagne opening, Zhang Wei's comment is like a funeral!
With a total investment of up to 600 million yuan, if you want to recover the cost with the box office, you have to have a total box office of at least 1.8 billion.
There is no need to think about it on the mainland side, after all, "Gravity" is so fierce, and the final mainland box office result is only 1.6 billion.
Therefore, Zhang Weiping has put more attention on Hollywood.
In his opinion, since the film can be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the box office performance should not be much worse.
At least $150 million, right?
You must know that most of the investment amount in this movie is from bank loans, and the collateral is the copyright of the movie.
If the North American box office fails to meet expectations, then the money is likely to be repaid, and it is estimated that it will not be enough to lose money when the entire new picture is sold!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Zhang Weiping shouted in the office and looked at the door.
As the door opened, the female secretary he had hired yesterday walked in, her watery eyes holding back his eyes, as if with some kind of seductive charm.
But at this time, his mind was on another matter.
"How is it, have the box office results of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" come out in Hollywood?"
"Hmm."
The female secretary nodded slightly.
Zhang Weiping couldn't help but stand up, his eyes shining with anticipation: "How much?" β
The female secretary opened the folder and glanced at it, and spat out a number: "$90,000." β
"How many ???"
Zhang Weiping's voice rose sharply!
"90,000... Dollar. β
"!"
Zhang Weiping's mouth suddenly erupted with an angry roar, and his face instantly turned red.
You must know that this movie is not taking the buyout route, but will be released in North America in the form of shares.
The box office on the first day was $90,000, which also means that the total box office will definitely not exceed one million dollars!
Such an achievement can't even recover the cost of publicity, let alone make money.
Compared with the high investment of 600 million yuan, it is not enough to lose money if you sell the bottoms!
"Mr. Zhang......"
The female secretary subconsciously took a step back, looked at Zhang Weiping, who was crazy in front of her, and only felt a little afraid in her heart.
Who is she? It's a lunatic, right?
"Get out! Get out of here! β
The beauty was in front of her, but Zhang Weiping didn't have the slightest idea of doing it to her.
He has only one thought now: "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has been lost! Big payouts!
Seeing this, the female secretary quickly left the office and went straight to the personnel office downstairs.
Before joining the company, she still dreamed of getting a big buck, but now, she is facing a big devil who is irritable and irritable.
She wasn't interested in looking for abuse.
I heard that Boss Xu of Evergrande is recruiting a song and dance troupe, and he was the social flower of the dance club when he was in college, so maybe it would be a good choice there.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Approaching the time when the Oscars will send out the nomination ballot, Harvey Weinstein is still doing it!
Overnight, all major entertainment pages were full of all kinds of black material about Jennifer Lawrence.
Chen Fei took the newspaper from his assistant and took a general look.
Among the many black materials, most of them are news that catches the wind and shadows, and at a glance, it is obvious that they are all fabricated by those entertainment reporters after receiving black money.
It's just that one of the pieces of news caught Chen Fei's attention.
"Jennifer Lawrence has been in love with Hollywood Oscar king Jack Nicholson since he was 16 years old, until he participated in "The Hunger Games" when he was 20 years old, and then turned his head to Chinese director Chen Fei, it is rare to have such a scheming at a young age, it is really rare......"
The art of ironic language has been taken to the extreme!
This news was put on the front page of a newspaper and even accompanied by two pictures.
The first photo shows Jennifer Lawrence and Jack Nicholson kissing on the streets of France, while the second photo shows Chen Fei and Jennifer Lawrence holding hands and looking at each other.
Don't mention the former, the latter Chen Fei is too familiar!
Isn't this the scene when he was directing Jennifer Lawrence to shoot emotional scenes in the crew?
Obviously, this scandal about him and Jennifer Lawrence was obviously "talking to the picture" by the media.
The latter is very easy to deal with, as long as you find a few actors who were filmed in the crew to prove it, the rumors can naturally be broken.
But the former is in trouble!
This photo of the hot kiss is too clear, and it is obvious that the two were secretly photographed when they were dating at the time.
"Knock knock!"
There was a sudden knock on the office door.
Natasha walked in quickly, glanced at the newspaper in Chen Fei's hand, and said very quickly: "Three days later is the time for the Oscars to send out the nomination ballots, and the news on the Internet is very unfavorable for us to compete for the Oscar for Best Actress." β
"I know." Chen Fei nodded and asked rhetorically, "What did the public relations team say?" β
"They said that they could ask Jennifer Lawrence to come out and clarify first, and if it was false, it would be better to be able to show evidence, and if it was true, it was important to let the heat subside quickly."
Chen Fei immediately turned his head to look at the assistant: "Contact Jennifer and ask her to say hello to Jack Nicholson......
As he spoke, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
Chen Fei looked down and saw that the caller ID was marked with the name "Little Lizi".
"Hey, Leon? Can I help you? β
Xiao Lizi's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Fei, you seem to be in some trouble?" β
Chen Fei glanced at the newspaper in front of him and asked directly, "Do you have a way?" β
"Nicholson wants to see you, do you have time? Let's come out and talk? β
"Give me a location."
βAcademyγβ
An hour later, Chen Fei walked into the Academy, which is known as one of the top three nightclubs in Los Angeles.
He went straight to a private box upstairs, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Xiao Li and Jack Nicholson who were deep in the woman.
Old Jack is 74 years old this year, but he is not old-hearted, and at this time, a pair of big hands are touching the two tender models in his arms, and there are still bursts of lewd smiles in his mouth.
At the first glance of him, Chen Fei's mind automatically flashed memories about him.
debuted in 1958 and has received a total of 12 Oscar nominations (seven times for leading actor and four times for supporting actor), making him the most nominated actor in the history of the Oscars, and is also known as the "King of the Oscars".
The pinnacle of "Flying Madhouse", the masterpiece "The Shining", "Batman", "Perfect", "Infernal Affairs", ......
Chen Fei was originally a little curious about why Leonardo got together with this one.
When he thought of Jack Nicholson playing the villain Frank in "Infernal Affairs", he immediately reacted, these two should be old friends.
βFeiοΌ Come and sit! β
When Leonardo saw Chen Fei come in, he deliberately gave him a seat.
"Leon, Jack, ......"
Chen Fei raised his hand to say hello to the two of them and sat down.
The two young models who were originally sitting on the side and bored suddenly lit up after seeing him, and hurriedly pasted them.
In the next second, Chen Fei felt that his arm was deep in the Mariana Trench.
Although he rarely participates in this kind of occasion, he understands the principle of following the local customs, and his two hands are placed very precisely where they should be placed, as if they are open to navigate.
At this time, Jack Nicholson suddenly smiled and said, "How about this gift when we meet for the first time?" Still satisfied? β
"Very satisfied." Chen Fei nodded slightly, and began to think about the intention of inviting him over.
It's just that just as he was about to say something, Jack Nicholson suddenly took the initiative to say: "That's right, Jennifer is my ex-girlfriend, but we broke up last year."
The last gift I gave her was to audition for The Hunger Games. β
Chen Fei suddenly thought of Bruce, Jennifer Lawrence is the artist under his hands, combined with the characteristics of this product who loves all kinds of models......
Everything is in series.
Since the other party is so direct, Chen Fei naturally will not be subtle, directly expressed his attitude, and emphasized that he has no half-dime relationship with Jennifer Lawrence, only a contractual relationship.
He slept with Anne Hathaway, and Jennifer Lawrence was too small to fit his hobbies.
Jack obviously didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "I'm old, your dispute with Harvey has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to be involved, but he shouldn't mess with me."
So, I decided to give you a hand! β
"Oh?"
Chen Fei looked at him curiously, did Old Jack want to come forward to clarify in person?
But in the next second, Jack Nicholson suddenly changed his words, and said with a strange smile: "Jennifer's competitor is Meryl Streep, right?" I have her fierce news in my hand, I can help you publish these fierce materials and stink her directly! β
Chen Fei's brows twitched.
Boy!
Is this going to be a wave of fighting poison with poison?
Oscar is really interesting, and he can play more than those in the mainland.
Harvey is recreating the operation when he helped "Shakespeare in Love" defeat "Saving Private Ryan", and wants to help Meryl Streep win the actress award in the way of stinking Jennifer Lawrence.
But he would never have thought that Jack Nicholson would come back out of the mountain and come up with a fierce revelation about Meryl Streep!
"What are you going to do?" Chen Fei asked curiously.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Jack Nicholson waved his hand, then pointed to the two young models next to him: "It's happy time, we're going to experience the night first." β
As soon as Jack's voice fell, the two female models had already taken out the physical examination report they had just done today.
Chen Fei was very calm, not in a hurry at all, and responded lightly: "For you and for me, may I ask which beautiful lady is willing to go to my car to get the 'happy widow'?" β
β¦β¦
