Chapter 984 Ignore? Crying in the Funeral Hall! Another Time of Kneeling and Begging for a Screening! Indirectly Cooperating with Brother Chen Kai?
"Due to the influence of the cinema line's filming schedule, the box office of the movie "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" directed by Feng Xiaogang fell to 39.04 million on the second day of its release."
"Following Wanda Cinema, Pan Asia Cinema cut the filming schedule of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" by as much as 15.7%..."
"Director Feng Xiaogang spoke again, saying that the cinema line's behavior of reducing the film's filming schedule was too willful and was wantonly destroying the market rules!"
"Eden Films Chairman Jiang Zhiqiang stated that Enlightenment Cinema will strongly support "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and called on peers in the industry to formulate a new cinema filming rule and implement it."
"Feiyue Films issued a notice that the song and dance film "La La Land", directed and starred by Chen Fei and starring Liu Yifei as the leading actress, will hold its premiere ceremony in Beijing on the 22nd of this month."
...
"Mr. Chen, Enlightenment sent a message saying that they hope to find a time to sit down and talk about the formulation of new cinema line filming rules."
As soon as he arrived at the crew in the morning, Chen Fei heard a joke.
"Anle? Jiang Zhiqiang? Haha, he also called on the cinema chain to formulate new cinema chain rules? Who is he? Don't bother with that idiot."
"Okay."
The assistant responded and ended the topic directly.
However, Liu Xiaobin soon called and asked Chen Fei for his opinion.
Wanda was obviously afraid that Pan Asia Cinema Line would defect for some reason.
However, Chen Fei immediately gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, I'm not going to deal with that old dog. When will it be his turn to make decisions for domestic theaters?
To be honest, I will still not choose to screen the next "La La Land" and "Operation Red Sea" in theaters under their own brand, no matter who comes!"
After hearing this, Liu Xiaobin was quite emotional: "Mr. Chen, you are really ruthless!"
"Don't hold back when it's time to show your strength, otherwise others may treat you as a soft persimmon, which is not a good sign..."
"I've learned a lesson!"
Liu Xiaobin seriously learned the experience that Chen Fei instilled in him, and was ready to use it on Huayi.
It's not easy to find such a touchstone, so we can't let it go easily.
When he was about to hang up the phone, he revealed another piece of news: "Mr. Chen, "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" is just the beginning.
In the past two months, Wanda wants Huayi to regret what they have done. Our chairman has specifically instructed that they must feel pain, fear, and dread!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately made a judgment in his heart.
It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, the recently popular "The Wasted Time", which is controlled by Huayi, directed by Cheng Er, and starred by Ge You and Zhang Ziyi, will probably be in trouble!
As for the later "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", it should be better, after all, this movie is a joint production of Wanda and Huayi.
…
After a night, the time came to the morning of the 21st.
And in this new day, the focus of netizens is undoubtedly "I Am Not Fan Jinlian".
"After three days of release, the movie "I Am Not Fan Jinlian", co-produced by Huayi and Dongyang Meila Films and directed by Feng Xiaogang, has accumulated a total box office of 121 million yuan. The film's new box office on the third day was more than 33 million yuan, and the box office is continuing to decline."
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Mechanic 2: Resurrection" was officially taken off the screen last night, with a total box office of 338 million yuan."
"The comedy movie "Mr. Donkey" co-produced by Feiyue Film and Happy Twist has officially climbed to 300 million yuan in box office after 24 days of release!"
"The Marvel series Hollywood imported sci-fi blockbuster "Doctor Strange" has a total box office of over 800 million!"
"The war-themed movie "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", produced by Bona and directed by Li An, has accumulated a box office of over 130 million yuan in 10 days of release, with only 2.14 million new box office on the day."
...
As we all know, the most important thing for a movie after its release is the box office in the first three days.
Both mainland and Hollywood movies believe in this principle.
After these three days, the box office will go downhill, so these three days are crucial!
According to Huayi's previous bragging during the promotion, the total box office of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" must exceed 300 million in the first three days of its release!
This is the confidence that the San Sebastian International Film Festival has given them.
After all, Feng Xiaogang and Fan Bingbing both won awards abroad, bringing extremely high popularity and exposure to the film.
But now, because of Wanda's counterattack, they have been slapped in the face!
After three days online, the box office totaled 121 million, and it is still a long way from recovering the cost... What kind of movie is this?
When Feng Xiaogang thought that he might not be able to complete this year's gambling agreement, he could not hide his worries, fears, disappointments, anger and other emotions!
So at noon on the 21st, when he appeared at the Golden Horse International Film Festival, facing interviews from Hong Kong and Taiwan media, he started crying on the spot? !
When the live video was transmitted back, it directly stunned everyone in the mainland film circle.
That's Feng Gangpao!
How could he cry?
This is not like his style.
However, no matter how people question it, Feng Xiaogang cried, and this is an indisputable fact.
"I really didn't expect that my 'Li Xuelian' would suffer such great humiliation and grievance. I am very dissatisfied because this is an excellent movie! It helped me win the A-level film festival award abroad! It shouldn't be targeted so badly...
Here, I want to beg domestic theaters, Wanda, Pan Asia... I kowtow to you, please don't treat my movie like this!"
To be honest, when seeing this video, Chen Fei really had a very strange feeling.
He always felt that Feng Xiaogang's crying was inexplicably in a state of "crying in the mourning hall". If he could keep this state and then drag him into the mourning hall, maybe he could even be a team leader!
It was his behavior of crying at the Golden Horse Film Festival that really made many mainland filmmakers despise him.
It was originally a conflict between the two companies, and as a shareholder of Huayi, you naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences while enjoying the benefits.
But now, you actually pretended to be righteous and went to cry to "outsiders".
Isn't this a serious disease?
What's more, kneeling down to beg for scheduling is not something that can work for everyone.
Let's not talk about other people first. Anyway, Feng Xiaogang definitely doesn't have this appeal, and Wanda will never be soft-hearted because of his behavior.
...
On the 22nd, the box office of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" hit a new low, falling directly below 30 million.
However, today the entire film and television industry, and even netizens' attention is not on Feng Xiaogang, but on the premiere of "La La Land".
For this song and dance theme, and also helped Liu Yifei win the Best Actress Award at the Venice International Film Festival, everyone's expectations are very high!
In view of the fact that today is quite important, the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" stopped working for a day, and all members came to the premiere of "La La Land".
At 9:30 in the morning, fans who had already arrived early gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the venue, looking forward to the appearance of their idols today.
As we all know, Feiyue Film and Television, especially the premieres of movies directed by Chen Fei himself, are almost all very luxurious, not inferior to the domestic Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, and Golden Image Award ceremonies.
The most important thing is that you have to buy tickets to attend the award ceremony, but you only need to run fast enough to see the stars at the premiere.
Based on this, the number of people gathered at the scene has exceeded a thousand!
When Chen Fei arrived at the scene, he saw many public security officers helping him maintain order.
Today's large-scale gathering has naturally been reported in advance, but the weather in November is not warm, and many people are shivering in the cold wind.
Seeing this scene, before getting off the car, Chen Fei called his assistant who had already arrived at the venue: "Please make arrangements. After the red carpet session is over, fans can go to another hall of the venue to rest for a while. Hot water, hot water bags and the like are all ready.
Also, in the afternoon, you should tell the company's finance department to send a batch of silk banners to the branch responsible for helping to maintain order today, and donate some police cars, equipment and so on."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
The assistant understood what he meant in seconds and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.
In the car, Liu Yifei smiled at this scene and felt warm in her heart.
Over the years, she has been accustomed to the intrigues in the entertainment industry, but Chen Fei is different from all the male actors and capital she has seen.
Other people are more or less hypocritical, but he has always maintained his love for this job, life, family and friends.
When she thought that she would entrust the rest of her life to such a man, she felt very at ease.
Maybach quickly arrived in front of the red carpet, and the moment he got off the car, cheers like a tsunami broke out on both sides!
Looking at the fans in the crowd holding up their support materials, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei both responded to them, and then they got more enthusiastic cheers and screams!
As the main creative team entered the venue, there were no new guests.
The media and lucky audiences with invitations entered the venue excitedly, while the rest of the people could only watch with envy.
Among this group of people, some people would choose to leave at this time, while others were ready to continue waiting for their idols to leave with their passion.
However, today's situation is different from usual.
Just as the fans outside the venue were sorting out the support materials, the door of the vacant hall on the other side was suddenly opened, and a large number of staff came out.
The sound from the loudspeaker soon resounded throughout the venue, allowing these fans who endured the cold wind to experience what warmth is!
"It's too cold outside today. If you want to wait for the premiere to end, you can go to this hall first. There is hot water and food inside, and you can also watch the editing and highlights of "La La Land"..."
In an instant, the scene became lively again, and the discussion was endless!
"Huh? Did I hear it right? Can we go inside the venue too?"
"Sister, we are not in the main venue, but the secondary venue, but it seems pretty good to be able to watch the editing and highlights."
"There is hot water supply? No? What's going on! Am I still attending a movie premiere? When did this link appear?"
"But I came here today to chase other celebrities. Can I go in too?"
"Let's go! Everyone here is a guest, and everyone here is a friend, haha."
"The crew of "La La Land" is awesome. When the movie is released, I will definitely drag my boyfriend along to support it!"
…
Outside the venue, fans were lining up and walking to the sub-venue on the other side in an orderly manner.
At this time, in the main venue, the entertainment and socializing had already begun.
"Huh? Why didn't you see the group of people from Huayi Family?" Wang Changtian looked around the entire venue and muttered in surprise.
"Those who have different paths should not conspire with each other."
Chen Fei responded softly, and briefly talked about the fact that Huayi did not send an invitation letter to Feiyue Film and Television when the premiere of "I am Not Fan Jinlian" was held.
"Oh, they only have so much capacity." Liu Xiaobin complained at the side, his tone full of contempt.
In the past few days, Huayi has been leading the public opinion network to blast Wanda, and the battle between the two sides is in full swing.
But overall, the former is more unlucky.
Because the losses of "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien" are happening all the time, and the theaters can arrange other movies, so the losses are only drizzle.
Several people were chatting together and waiting for the premiere to start, but at this moment, Chen Hong suddenly came over with his son not far away.
"Director Wang, Mr. Liu, Director Chen..."
After taking turns to say hello, Chen Hong then set his sights on Chen Fei: "Director Chen, let me first wish that "La La Land" will be a success at the box office."
"Haha, I'd like to thank Producer Chen for some good luck." Chen Fei smiled and nodded at her.
But in the next second, I heard Chen Hong suddenly change the topic: "I also hope that our cooperation can proceed smoothly. With the name of your company, Feiyu can become more famous."
When they heard this sentence, Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin were both stunned, and cast doubtful glances at Chen Fei in surprise.
Is Feiyue Film and Television going to cooperate with Shengkai Pictures?
Why hasn't the news come out before?
But the next second, the two heard Chen Fei's explanation: "Producer Chen, I may disappoint you. The investment in "Eternal Night" was led by China Literature and has nothing to do with Feiyue Film and Television. ”
Chen Hong smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's pretty much the same. Anyway, it's all a company under your name, Director Chen..."
After chatting for a few more words, Chen Hong took Chen Feiyu and left.
Liu Xiaobin's face was completely covered with confusion at this moment. Anyway, he didn't understand the significance of the discussion between Chen Fei and Chen Hong just now.
However, Wang Changtian was quite well-informed and quickly guessed some news.
"I heard someone say before that Brother Chen Kai is planning to set up a crew for his son. It seems that he is planning to adapt the IP and recruit many veteran drama stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to help him... So, the adapted novel is what you just said. That "Eternal Night", right?"
"Well, yes, that's right..."
Chen Fei nodded and was about to continue saying something, but at this time the host was already announcing the opening.
The auspicious moment cannot be missed, so he immediately left Wang Changtian and Liu Xiaobin behind, and was invited to step onto the stage with Liu Yifei.
After talking about interesting things that happened during the filming as usual, as well as some thoughts and expectations about winning the award in Venice, the question and answer interview session officially ended.
The next time will be left to "La La Land".
As the dragon logo symbolizing the film's approval appeared, subtitles also jumped onto the screen.
At the moment when the film opens, the bright sky and the orderly moving clouds with the wind become the background color, forming a sharp contrast with the crowded traffic below.
Car after car had completely different music playing on their stereos, and it sounded very disjointed.
Until a sudden piano prelude came, and the young girl in yellow used her clear voice to introduce the first song and dance of the film.
"Thinking back to that year...our youthful years when we were 17 years old..."
The music sounded slowly, and the refreshing melody caught the ears of the audience from the beginning, leaving people with endless aftertaste, as if their mood improved in an instant.
The camera did not switch lenses, and the entire highway song and dance sequence seemed to have been shot in one shot!
"Huh? You started showing off your skills as soon as you came up?" Jiang Wen muttered in the front row, staring at the big screen without blinking.
He wants to know today, why did "La La Land" win the award in Venice, while his "One Step Away" was criticized as a bad film?
"It must have taken a lot of time to rehearse this dance scene on the highway, right?"
Zhang Yimou's questioning voice suddenly came to Chen Fei's ears.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "The big scenes are almost always filmed at the end, and we have been working on them before to achieve such an effect..."
“This section is great!”
Zhang Yimou's eyes moved slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Because the sun is rising and it’s another sunny day!”
As the singing ended, all the dancers stood on the roof of the car, and the big screen panoramic lens covered the entire highway, showing an extremely spectacular scene!
However, in the next second, the song's stopper fell heavily, and the lingering sound also stopped abruptly.
The four words "La La Land" slowly emerged, echoing in the movie with the charm of the song, which also heralded the official start of the movie.
The pace of the main film is very fast!
The male and female protagonists completed their first acquaintance in a happy enemy mode, and there was also a second song and dance.
The melodious melody sets off the carefully choreographed dance, which is so dreamlike and intoxicating under the night!
In order to be able to make Miss Liu beautiful, eye-catching and eye-catching enough, Chen Fei used all he had learned throughout his life.
Colors, scenes, costumes, dance details, everything has been carefully polished by him.
In terms of the overall story, from the secret feelings in spring, to the passionate love in summer, to the sad separation that continues into autumn, and the separation of strangers in winter... the changes in each stage seem to be arranged by God. There is just the right harmony.
Dreams are always so perfect, love is always so romantic, and survival is always so necessary, but the reality is still cruel.
People have to have dreams and hope for love, but they have to survive and at the same time have to live in reality...
After watching the whole movie, many guests and fans at the scene had tears in their eyes, because "La La Land" seems to have explained the greatest helplessness in life to a vivid and deeply rooted level!
