In the eyes of many people, Ni's starting point as a "Mou girl" has reached a very high level.

If you want to be famous and famous, you must have acting skills, as long as you train it well, you will definitely be able to promote it to the ranks of first-line actresses!

Of course, if you can take the opportunity to get in touch with Zhang Yimou and reach a cooperation, let alone 10 million liquidated damages, it will not matter if you have a few million.

Many brokerage companies and production companies in the industry think so, so much so that the threshold of Zhang Yimou's studio is about to be broken.

It's just that this situation lasted until Zhang Weiping returned to China, and suddenly changed again!

The economic contracts of the artists are all in his hands, even if many of his artists are willing to leave with Zhang Yimou, but in the end it is up to him to make the decision.

After a few days, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning's phone calls came one after another.

The former's words were very short, and he said bluntly: "It's no fun, Zhang Wei's comment on the mad dog directly increased Ni's liquidated damages by two times, and it is clear that he is not ready to let go, and the lawsuit takes too long and is not cost-effective." ”

"Indeed."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, when it comes to disgusting people, Zhang Wei commented that this grandson is also professional.

Doubling liquidated damages is definitely a violation of contract law, but if you want to file a lawsuit, you will definitely not be able to solve it in a year or two.

After such a long time, the potential of the actor has been exhausted, who can guarantee that he will be able to earn it back later?

Of course, this is certainly not a problem for Wanda, which has deep pockets.

As long as Zhang Yimou can be won, it is not impossible for this lawsuit to be consumed like this.

However, Ye Ning's tone was quite helpless: "Alas, money is not omnipotent. ”

Chen Feidun was curious: "Why did Mr. Ye say this?" ”

"I went to Zhang Yimou's studio the day before yesterday and expressed the conditions that I could help him get Ni's brokerage contract, but the other party directly refused."

"Why?!"

Chen Feidun was surprised.

Those powerful large brokerage companies must be full of mountains inside, and the company's resources are already limited, and it is not a trivial matter for them to accept a girl.

But Wanda is different!

Wanda does not have a brokerage company, and because it holds the cinema chain, it is a mess.

In Chen Fei's view, Ye Ning is the best partner for Zhang Yimou.

But he really didn't expect that for the olive branch thrown by Wanda Pictures, Lao Mouzi would refuse!

"Ugh." Ye Ning sighed again and explained: "According to the news I heard, LeTV seems to have signed some kind of cooperation agreement with Zhang Yimou, and will guarantee to deal with the brokerage contracts of those Mou girls and Mou boys." ”

Boss Jia......

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and inexplicably felt a little reasonable.

Wanda's side is indeed a mess, but LeTV doesn't seem to be bad at this time.

Listed company, Boss Jia can blow again, the boss is still sweet, and the backstage is hard like an iron pestle......

On the whole, this LeTV seems to be more suitable for Zhang Yimou than Wanda!

"That's a shame."

Chen Fei has nothing to say, after all, business competition is who has more hole cards.

On the surface, this LETV has too many hole cards than Wanda, and it is normal for the latter to not be able to fight.

……

At this time, the capital airport, in the VIP waiting hall.

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia were watching the news on the Internet.

When she saw "Ni Ni", which frequently appeared in media articles, Yang Mi couldn't hide her envy: "If I can cooperate with Zhang Yimou and become a Mou girl when I debut, I may go more smoothly at this time, right?" ”

"Definitely!" Zeng Jia nodded subconsciously, but quickly tilted his head to look at her again: "Didn't you cooperate with Zhou Xingchi when you debuted?" It's half a 'star girl', right? ”

"Don't mention it, it's been less than two minutes since she appeared on the camera, what kind of star girl is it?"

While speaking, Yang Mi glanced at the flight information and muttered in a low voice: "Let's go to Los Angeles to shoot "Love in Seattle" this time, I don't know if there is a chance to meet Director Chen?" ”

Zeng Jia shook his head slightly: "It is estimated that it is difficult, I read the news report that Director Chen will seem to be in Canada." ”

"Okay."

Yang Mi suddenly regretted.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you." Zeng Jia suddenly seemed to remember something, leaned over and whispered, "Guo Jingming, you know, right?" ”

Yang Mi nodded slightly: "Well, I know, what's wrong?" ”

"The first draft of his new script 'Little Times' that he wrote and directed has already arrived, and he contacted me a few days ago and wanted you to play one of the main roles in it."

Small? Guo Jingming?

Yang Mi is also a surfer, so she naturally knows all kinds of news about Guo Jingming on the Internet these days.

If she participates in the filming of "Little Times", it will inevitably cause a huge controversy!

After pondering for a moment, she said: "Don't promise or refuse for the time being, let's wait until we finish filming "Love in Seattle" and see the full script." ”

"Okay, that's what I thought, too."

Zeng Jia chuckled lightly, secretly thinking about how to reply there.

……

Chen Fei has always felt that most child stars have an aura on them!

For example, the little girl who plays the daughter of "Cooper", but whenever he asks for it, the girl can understand it in a very short time most of the time, and perform the effect he wants.

On the other hand, Anne Hathaway is a little worse.

In some scenes where emotions are expressed, it usually takes a long time for her to get into the scene, and she also stumbles during filming.

After NG again, Chen Fei had to call her in front of him and start talking:

"Your father has been separated from you for more than 20 years, and you miss him deeply, but because of the time and age, you will maintain a little sanity when recording videos......"

Matthew also ran over to help and said, "You can cry, but you have to have tenacity in your expression, you have grown up, not the crying bag who follows your father." ”

With the joint efforts of the two, it took a full two hours to finally finish filming this emotional scene.

"Whew!"

Chen Fei let out a sigh of relief and called the assistant director to ask him to prepare a large hair dryer.

The next thing to shoot is the footage of the sandstorm.

Real scene + CG special effects, the effect presented in this way will be more realistic than simple special effects, and when it finally appears on the iMax screen, it will also give the audience a deeper sense of substitution.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near.

Chen Fei turned his head to take a look and found that it was his assistant.

"Something?"

"Boss, someone sent in a couple of premiere invitations from North America."

"I'll see."

Chen Fei stretched out his hand to take it and looked down.

There are four invitations in total, namely "Tales of the Night 4" and "The Oath" produced by Makupo Films, "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" produced by New Line Films, and "Hideout" produced by Universal Pictures.

Except for "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" and "Tales of the Night 4", which are IMax versions, the others are all low-budget movies.

Chen Fei casually handed back the invitation letter: "You contact Natasha and ask her to run on my behalf, I can't leave here." ”

“Ok。”

The assistant nodded slightly and walked away quickly.

The rise of fame and status can always be exchanged for respect from the outside world.

In the past, some movie premieres even had to pay money to participate.

But now it's different, even if he's in Canada, he still receives a steady stream of invitations.

Some are premieres, some are signing ceremonies, and there are even pre-wedding party invitations from certain models......

Leonardo would send him some tickets for model shows from time to time, but unfortunately he was too busy and could only throw them in the trash with great regret.

"When this movie is finished, you must go to chic for a few days!"

Chen Fei secretly made up his mind.

……

As the time approached the end of January, "The Avengers" was finally officially drawn from North American theaters.

The North American box office reported $726 million, breaking the record for "Inception", but it is still some way from "Avatar's" $785 million.

In terms of the global total box office results, it came to 1.623 billion US dollars.

This result is still a full 200 million US dollars away from "Inception", and there is a gap between it and "Avatar's 2.5 billion US dollars"!

However, because the Huaxia Film Market has not yet been officially released, it is not possible to make a conclusion for the time being.

According to Chen Fei's prediction, if nothing else, this movie should be able to break the global box office performance of "Inception".

Now we are waiting for the arrival of February in China!

At the same time, with the release of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the mainland Chinese New Year files have completely fallen into the encirclement and suppression of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", "Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game", "Rat Noble 3", "Mission Impossible 4, Ghost Protocol" ......

Under the suppression of many blockbusters, "Those Years" can be described as a retreat!

As for the "Counter War" starring Zhou Jienon, Nicholas Tse, and Bai Li, Emperor and Huayi invested 200 million......

Chen Fei probably paid attention to its box office situation.

10.96 million on the first day, 30.68 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and the daily box office data fell below 10 million like flying!

Compared with its investment of 200 million, this achievement is obviously unqualified.

and the "Great Magician" invested with Bona, which is also the same as "Counter War", the box office results can be described as a mess.

On the day of the next painting, the total box office was reported to be 179 million yuan, compared to the high investment, it couldn't be more miserable!

Chen Fei briefly recalled, it seems that since the end of "Let the Bullets Fly", several subsequent large-investment films of Emperor have lost money again and again, and none of them have made money at all, and they can't even recover their costs!

It's no wonder that Yang Shoucheng is very eager to release "Ip Man 3".

It's going to be unbearable!

～

Because I have to rush to film, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve will definitely not go back.

Chen Fei specially called the old man and came to pay a wave of remote New Year's greetings.

It's just that when he got on the phone, he found that there were still several "larks" chirping over there.

"It's still Yifei's girl, she called the stupid girl on TV, and a little girl with a bun face, come over and cook Chinese New Year's Eve for me together, you're busy with you, everything is fine here, and there are all the things at home for the New Year, so you don't have to worry about it......"

After saying a few words, the old man hung up the phone directly.

He was still busy frying rice cakes for those little girls, so he didn't have time to chat here.

Looking down and silently glancing at the double-layer meat burger in his hand, Chen Fei suddenly felt unfragrant.

"What's the broken Western food? It's far worse than Chinese food! ”

There is no Spring Festival here in Canada, but you can still see the Spring Festival Gala.

Looking at the six people who were in charge of hosting on the stage, Zhu Jun, Li Yong, Dong Tian, Bi Fujian, Sa Beining, and Li Sisi, Chen Fei was inexplicably a little emotional.

In the next few years, these people are all "people of the year" in the host circle!

This year's party is still the same as in previous years, lacking laughter and highlights, cross talk is not like cross talk, sketches are not like sketches, and there is not much new in the program arrangement and actor selection......

Although the slots were full, Chen Fei still insisted on reading it.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala is also a special way to celebrate the New Year.

The only regret for him is that he didn't see Uncle Benshan at this year's Spring Festival Gala, although Shen Teng and Ma Li's sketches are also good, but he always feels that the performance is a little too deliberate, as if he is watching a drama performance.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Fei gave the crew a day off.

Although today is not a legal holiday, starting work on the first day of the new year still makes him very uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to sleep in, but he never expected that the New Year's phone calls and text messages would start at 7 o'clock in the morning!

Liu Dehao's phone call woke him up directly.

Listening to the sound of "Happy New Year" over there, Chen Fei suddenly felt helpless: "Brother Wow, it's only seven o'clock!" You're already out of bed? ”

"Haha, disturbing your sleep? Then you go back to sleep......"

Liu Dehao was about to hang up the phone, but he didn't think that Chen Fei's words came over immediately: ""Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is finished? ”

"Doodoo ......"

There was a sudden busy sound on the phone, and Chen Fei smiled, as if he had seen Liu De's expression of wanting to cry without tears.

He easily adjusted the mobile phone to silent state, and reached out and slapped Anne Hathaway, who was spitting in the quilt: "Early in the morning, don't toss, come, continue to sleep with your arms." ”

Anne Hathaway came out aggrieved, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and said: "But I want to ......"

"I'm tired, if you want to, then come up and move yourself."

Chen Fei directly chose to lie flat.

Who is still working on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

……

On the third day after the Spring Festival, the Oscars officially announced the list of nominees for all awards.

Chen Fei took a closer look at the nomination of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds".

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing.

With a full eight nominations, it seems to be the second most nominated for this year's Oscars!

However, this time, Walton Pictures' main impact is the Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay awards.

Last year's "Hunting" had already given Chen Fei a big victory, and according to the rule of "sharing the cake", the films produced by Walton Pictures this year can no longer compete for Best Director and Best Picture.

At the very least, there will be an interval of one year, if you win awards repeatedly, how can the "fairness" and "justice" of the Oscars be reflected?

According to the news from the public relations team, the film "The Artist" directed by French director Michael Hazanavicius should be the most likely to win this year.

It is a French black-and-white romantic love silent film that tells the love story between a declining actor and a rising actress.

The film's leading actor, Jean Dujardin, had already won the award for Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival.

If nothing else, the film should be a big win at this year's Oscars.

The old white men of the academic school have publicly stated many times that they like this movie very much, and the way of showing mime is too rare in this impetuous society.

This year's Oscars will be held on February 27.

Chen Fei glanced at the shooting schedule, he should have returned to Los Angeles at that time, and he could just go and join in the fun.

After watching the nomination of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", Chen Fei subconsciously set his sights on the nomination for the best foreign language film.

Then he soon found out that there was no word about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in it!

He then opened the domestic film and television information network and glanced at it, and sure enough, the Internet was already noisy at this time!

When China originally chose "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it attracted a lot of opposition.

Subsequently, the film's North American distributor signed up for 13 individual awards, which directly caused a sensation in domestic entertainment.

And now that the results have been announced, there are 14 awards, and not even one of them has been shortlisted.

This is the eighth time that Lao Mouzi has hit the Oscars, but it still ended in failure.

At the same time, it also means that the overseas copyright transaction of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is completely out of play, unless Zhang Weiping is willing to sell it at a price of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For a while, the voices of ridicule in the circle kept coming out.

"Heh, it's good now, bragging blows yourself in."

"I don't know who boasted about Haikou on the Internet at the time, saying that he would win the Oscar this year, but in the end, he didn't even get the chance to be nominated, what else is this?"

"Look at Director Chen, he is directly nominated for Best Picture, and the film he personally produced has won eight Oscar nominations, which is called awesome!"

"At least the bulls that Director Chen bragged about have been realized, but what about some people? What are you doing to raise the minimum ticket price, and you are signing a gambling agreement with the theater, and you are shameless in writing a small H article, but now it's good, and it's all empty. ”

"Zhang Weiping, others don't dare to name you, but I, Yu Dong, dare, left Zhang Yimou, are you still a fart?"

……

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