If in the film and television production industry in early January 12, Feiyue Film and Television was autocratic, then in the middle of the year, it was the moment for Guo Jingming.

At least that's what he thinks......

After an interval of more than a month, Guo Jingming once again spoke on Weibo: "The investment amount of 300 million yuan is in place, colleagues in the domestic film and television industry, wait for my "Little Times" series of movies!" ”

He even changed his Weibo credentials from "writer" to "director" and "screenwriter".

Looking at the comments at the bottom of Weibo, the solidarity and support of those die-hard fans is called a Top Gun:

"This time, Director Guo will definitely reign in the film and television industry!"

"Once Director Guo's "Little Times" came out, it will surpass five generations of directors, suppress six generations of directors, be as famous as director Chen Fei, and win three gold ......medals in Europe."

"Hehe, weren't there many people playing the six-part "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" before? Wait and see, Director Guo will let you understand what a real series of movies is! ”

Chen Fei was a little puzzled for a while.

Are these fans supporting Guo Jingming, or are they recruiting black fans for him?

surpass five generations of directors and suppress six generations of directors...... How dare they shout such words?

At this time, Liu Yifei suddenly came over with her mobile phone and flipped through an article on the Internet to show him.

"You read this article, this Guo Jingming said that he admires you very much, and also said that he wants to meet you and have a long talk with you when he has the opportunity......"

squinted at the content of the article, and after seeing the four words "long talk", Chen Fei's hair stood on end for no reason, and there was an inexplicable coolness behind him!

"Stay away from this guy, I feel like something is not quite right in the minds of his fans and his fans, so it's better to have less contact."

"Oh, good."

Liu Yifei nodded lightly, immediately turned off the news, picked up the script on the side and read it.

There are only a few scattered scenes left on the Icelandic side, and the crew has already begun to move, and in three days at most, the entire crew will leave for Canada.

……

With the arrival of mid-January, it has been a few days since "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" were released.

Just when everyone thought that the two movies would be brilliant all the way to the end, they never expected that they would be scratched by a youth romance film!

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"

When this film won the box office championship in Wanwan Province in the same period, there was no concept on the mainland side.

But when it was released in Xiangjiang and broke the box office record of "Kung Fu" in a very short period of time, the mainland was boiling!

Jiuba Dao, Ke Zhendong, Chen Yanxi, Ao Quan......

Even with the director, screenwriter, and actors, it became popular all over the mainland in just a few days!

Chen Fei paid some attention and paid attention to the box office results of the movie.

The box office on the first day was 7.54 million and 27.81 million in the first week.

Obviously, this kind of youth romance film can only rub it on the blockbusters, and it is too far to really insert it.

"KMA Knife ......"

Chen Fei chewed on the name, and some not-so-good memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

This product, like Huang Qiusheng, doesn't seem to be a serious person.

And the reason why the mainland's youth love pain films suddenly flooded seems to have started from "Those Years"!

"Youth films?"

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at his script library.

There are not many Chinese scripts that have not been filmed yet, and as far as the eye can see, there are only three scripts left: "Chasing the Murderer", "Fireworks in the Day", and "Long Time".

"Phew, fortunately, there is no script for a youth romance film."

muttered a few words in a low voice, Chen Fei silently instructed the system in his mind: "Next time, if you want to give out a script reward, don't make any youth romance scripts, of course, if it's the quality of "Your Name", it's okay." ”

System: If you want to eat, you still want salty rice?

～

Time came to the 14th in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the entire crew of "Interstellar" transferred and went straight to Canada!

At the same time, when Chen Fei was scrolling through Weibo on the plane, he saw a message that directly dominated the headline interface on the front page of the film and television information network.

"This morning, in an interview with the media, director Zhang Yimou said that the contract between the studio and the new picture, which belongs to him alone, has fully ended, and the two parties will not be implicated in the future."

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is about to be released, and there is no need to worry about affecting the box office results, Zhang Yimou naturally has no fears.

Don't pretend! He had a direct showdown!

As soon as this news came out, it instantly caused a sensation in the circle.

Chen Fei continued to refresh the news, and then saw that the CEOs of several production companies led by Huayi, Orange Sky, Xingmei, Pony Galloping, and LeTV rushed to Zhang Yimou's studio as soon as possible.

At the same time, various means of targeting the new picture began to surge.

Zhang Weiping has been jumping like a mad dog in the circle for more than ten years, what does he rely on? Isn't it just that he has Zhang Yimou, the top first-line director in China?

And now, the contract between the two parties has expired, and Zhang Yimou has officially announced that he will not cooperate with New Pictures.

So good, after leaving the "National Teacher", what does he Zhang Wei evaluate?

On the way to Zhang Yimou's studio, Yu Dong made a few casual phone calls, and gathered a large group of allies who wanted to deal with the new picture.

They even put up a slogan for this group of allies!

"Kill the mad dogs! Grab and conspire! ”

It's just that all the people who went to Zhang Yimou's studio today were in vain.

Because Lao Mouzi announced that he would no longer cooperate with the new picture as soon as he announced, he took the lawyer straight to the new picture!

The two sides sat down face to face.

Zhang Weiping still had a trace of expectation in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Yimou, is it really impossible for us to continue to cooperate?" If you have any requirements, you can just ask, I will not refuse to meet them, you know my ......"

"Mr. Zhang!" Zhang Yimou's voice was a little cold: "I didn't come today to talk about cooperation with you. ”

He didn't want to have too much communication with Zhang Weiping, so after interrupting the other party's words, he waved his hand to the lawyer next to him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged lawyer nodded slightly, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang Weiping, regarding the box office account sharing of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", I hope that you can fulfill the agreement as soon as possible in accordance with the provisions of the contract, especially "Three Guns", you have been in arrears for up to a year......"

Zhang Weiping raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the lawyer coldly, his face trembled, and he interrupted directly: "Don't talk to me here."

Zhang Yimou, let me ask you, where is Ni? Why can't I reach her? Where did you hide the artists from New Picture? ”

"She's my man!"

"Heh, her brokerage contract is signed with New Picture Company!"

……

After all, a negotiation broke up.

Zhang Weiping naturally wouldn't be so easy to send the box office account to Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou was reluctant to return Ni to the new picture.

The two sides are directly at an impasse!

On the return car, the lawyer said bluntly: "Director Zhang, I have to remind you that he can't rely on the box office account, which is written in black and white, and has legal effect."

But in the same way, the contract between Ni and Xinxiang also has legal effect, and without the consent of Xinxiang, if she takes over the play without authorization, there will be a huge amount of liquidated damages. ”

"I see, let me think about it."

Zhang Yimou settled down and slowly closed his eyes.

If you want to get Ni out of the new picture, there are only two ways now.

Compensation for termination fees, unilateral automatic termination, or finding another brokerage company to take over.

Zhang Weiping's original breach of contract fee for Ni was as high as 10 million, which was obviously illegal.

According to the law, the default fee for celebrity artists is set according to personal income, and it may be possible to make a fuss about it.

……

After landing in Canada and changing cars several times, the people of "Interstellar" finally arrived at their destination.

Spruce Ranch, Alberta, Canada!

As soon as he got off the bus, Chen Fei first led everyone to inspect the 30,000 acres of corn fields.

If you only walk on two legs, I'm afraid you won't be able to see this cornfield even when it's dark.

Luckily, there is a shuttle bus at the ranch here.

The crowd drove three shuttle buses and circled the entire corn field, even breaking a lot of corn cobs.

Liu Yifei held several yellow, orange and orange corns in her arms, and turned her head to look at Chen Fei: "Will this cornfield be destroyed in the end?" ”

"No, you don't." Chen Fei shook his head slightly and explained: "I just want to use this corn field to set off the excellence of the protagonist, but under the premise that all crops cannot survive, he planted 30,000 acres of corn land. ”

Liu Yifei had already memorized the entire script, and suddenly retorted: "Can you create 'dust' and 'blight' in the future?" ”

"In post, we will render it with special effects."

Chen Fei said as he asked, "What?" Are you interested in this cornfield? ”

Liu Yifei tilted her head a little embarrassedly: "I see that there are many people on the Internet who are spreading about Mayans and the end of the world, so I think it's a pity to destroy so much corn." ”

"Haha, do you still believe this?" Chen Fei smiled and added: "Don't worry, the grain will not be wasted, the buyer has been agreed before planting, and the people from the ranch here will recycle it when the time comes." ”

While the crew was building the camera track, the group went to Fort MacLeod again.

Here, the crew will transform a main road into a sandstorm-infested street to present a post-apocalyptic scene.

After briefly inspecting all the filming locations, Chen Fei and the scientific consultant team hired by the crew went into the conference room and began to discuss some issues in the filming.

Because there are a lot of complex mathematical equations in the film, they have to be decoded and rendered in IMAX quality.

A team of scientific advisors had to work with DotTin's special effects engineers to visually express the way light turns in the universe and the various changes in the beam passing through the black hole.

In addition, the consultant team had to work with the film's CG technical team to add scenes such as galactic backgrounds, galaxies, and nebulae to the picture.

Chen Fei has only one requirement, which is to convey complex concepts such as wormholes, five-dimensional spaces, and hypercubes to the audience in a clear and clear manner.

It wasn't an easy task, so they just had enough time to complete it.

And with the help of Chen Fei, a professional-level CG technician, these very complex problems have become clear step by step.

……

The time soon came to the 16th.

On this day, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which had a fierce confrontation in the Lunar New Year, were both drawn from the theater.

It stands to reason that both should have tried to apply for a postponement of the release.

But judging from the current situation, the Film Bureau probably did not agree.

Chen Fei took a look at the total box office of the two movies on the Internet.

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor": 539 million.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling": 595 million.

It's a pity that neither film managed to break 600 million.

The former is fine, but the latter figure is a little embarrassing.

Many people inexplicably thought of the 690 million of "The Great Earthquake", and as expected, the follow-up "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" will definitely become the object of comparison in many movies.

The voices of ridicule of Zhang Wei's comments on the Internet suddenly surged!

There are so many moths in front of him, he backstabbed the producer alliance, and signed a gambling agreement with the theater chain, and everyone thought that he was confident that he would push the box office of this movie to more than one billion.

But I never expected that in the end, even 600 million was not broken!

At the same time, the news from North America spread.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" grossed $450,000 in North America.

As soon as he saw this number, Yu Dong immediately posted a new Weibo, openly mocking Zhang Weiping for bragging and saying big things.

"You also boasted that the movie will definitely be a big seller abroad, Mr. Zhang, I see that your Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film has not had any publicity effect?"

This time, Zhang Weiping did not continue to reply on the Internet.

Some media photographed him leading Tong Dawei and Zhang Xinyi and other actors on a plane to Los Angeles, suspected of preparing for this year's Film and Television Golden Globe Awards.

Soon there was new news on the Internet that Zhang Yimou and the heroine Ni Ni did not go to Los Angeles together.

When he received a call from Huo Wenxi, Chen Fei was about to shout "Action".

After thinking about it, he waved his hand to Matthew's side, motioning for them to rest in place first, then got up and walked to the corner to the side and answered the phone.

"Hello? Something? ”

"Mr. Chen, I have something urgent to report to you."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yimou released a rumor to the outside world, saying that if any brokerage company is willing to accept Ni's brokerage contract, then the next time a new movie is opened, you can invite the other party to participate in the investment, you see...... Do we need to do anything? ”

Chen Fei was a little curious and asked, "What about Ni?" She's signed up for the new picture, right? How much is the penalty for liquidation? ”

"Eight figures!"

Chen Fei frowned slightly: "Forget it, we don't participate in this matter, and it is not cost-effective to spend eight figures in exchange for a 'Mou Girl'." ”

If the object he faced was at the level of Emperor Gong, Chen Fei would definitely not say a word.

Eight figures in exchange for a Gong Li, this deal is definitely a good deal!

But if it's Ni, that's a different story.

A pure newcomer is still burdened with high liquidated damages, and after signing back, he has to spend a lot of resources to cultivate, and then it is possible to earn back this liquidated damages......

It's a hassle to think about.

With that time and resources, it was enough for him to recreate a 'flying girl'.

Zhao Liying's girl is very good, well-behaved and obedient, especially suitable for being a new "cultivation" object.

What's more, Zhang Yimou just released the news to the outside world, and it is estimated that he also wants to sell at a price.

Chen Fei doesn't have much curiosity about his next new film.

However, after hanging up the phone, he still sent a text message to Ye Ning and Wang Changtian respectively as soon as possible.

These two are rich and powerful masters, but unfortunately they don't have any good director resources in their hands.

Especially Wanda, if you can cooperate with Zhang Yimou, it is not a dream to soar!

As soon as the text message was sent, both sides replied to him.

Ye Ning even called back directly: "Director Chen, Wanda has already been in contact with Director Yimou, and the willingness to cooperate over there is very high, maybe we can win him!" ”

"What about Ni's brokerage ......"

Ye Ning said in a wealthy tone: "It's only 10 million, Wanda can still afford it." ”

"Haha, then I will wish Mr. Ye success in advance."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei returned to the back of the monitor and waved at Matthew McConaughey, signaling that it was time to start.

The little actors are in position, and the camera track is ready to start gliding......

“Action！”

With Chen Fei's order, the crew of "Interstellar" is like a sophisticated high-tech instrument and once again enters a state of high-speed operation.

The next main filming scene is the intersection of various plots between Cooper played by Matthew McConaughey and his daughter.

Anne Hathaway has come to the crew in advance, and during the filming, she will substitute her emotions into herself when she was a child, and strive to accurately portray the tenacious emotions and states when she grows up in the subsequent filming.

When I arrived at Spruce Ranch, the scene about Liu Yifei was gone for the time being.

She didn't linger too much on the crew's side, especially after Anne Hathaway arrived, and for some reason, she didn't feel well in her heart.

So, the day after Anne Hathaway arrived on the set, she returned to Los Angeles to participate in the brand's promotional campaign.

When the crew returns to the studio, she will rejoin the crew to participate in the shooting.

And after Liu Yifei left, the person who eats Xiaozao every night becomes Anne Hathaway.

It's just that the two of them will always talk about it in the bedroom unconsciously in the middle of the play......

Anne Hathaway always expresses happily, she eats very much at the "small stove" every night, and her lower abdomen is bulging.

～

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended smoothly.

As soon as Chen Fei logged on to the film and television information network, he saw the news that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was defeated by the German film "Nader and Westminster: A Farewell".

There were heated discussions in the circle, and Yu Dong's ridicule came to Zhang Weiping's head at the first time.

did not win the Golden Globe Award, which means that the probability of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" winning the Oscar is very small!

At the same time, this also means that the sale of film rights is likely to suffer from price reduction, and even be purchased by foreign institutions at a low price.

The investment of up to 600 million yuan finally came to such a bleak ending.

Combined with the awesomeness that Zhang Weiping had blown on the Internet before, he has become a joke in the eyes of insiders at this time!
