Chapter 276: No.1 Chinese Director, Wu Yu's Mentality Collapsed in the Super Boy? The Terrifying Power of the Golden Palm!

Chapter 271, Wu Yu’s mentality is broken... Fast guy? The terrifying power of the Golden Palm!

After the first-day opening box office of "The Twilight Saga" appeared, online reviews began to increase.

Some people said they liked it very much. The beautiful pictures and attractive plot satisfied the admiration of love among boys and girls.

However, a large number of people expressed that they could not accept this extremely bloody plot and complained wildly. Some even published articles saying that they were very disappointed with Chen Fei...

But this does not prevent the box office from continuing to rise.

When returning to the set of "Mulan", Chen Fei received a call from Natasha.

On the other end of the phone, the girl was very excited: "In the first three days of the first weekend, the North American box office has approached US$100 million. Can this movie with an investment of less than US$30 million still be able to catch up with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"?"

"Stop daydreaming."

Chen Fei poured cold water on her directly: "This type of movie makes money from fans of the book. It may be popular for a while, but it won't last long. It's good to get 200 million in North America."

This is just like the movie Zhou Jie discusses. Regardless of the movie and his acting skills, fans can push the box office of the movie to 100 million just by relying on his name!

That’s the power of fans turning to movies!

The explosive power is strong, but the durability is not very good. It is a little stronger than Xie Xie, but not much better...

"Well, it seems my expectations are too high."

Natasha was still a little disappointed...

"Hey? It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go back from luxury to frugality. With an investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, you can collect 200 million U.S. dollars in North America alone. What else do you want?"

"That's true, hee hee, you're busy, I'm going to keep an eye on the preparations for Twilight 2."

…

After hanging up the phone, while Liu Yifei was putting on makeup, Chen Fei called Han Sanping again.

"What's the first-day box office of Twilight in China?"

"It was 13 million yuan on the first day, and it is 3,600 yuan today. According to this trend, there is a high probability that it will reach about 130 million yuan."

As she said that, Han Sanping was inexplicably envious: "I'm just wondering, how did you get such a brain? You can change the style of the film at will, but you can still make money!"

Box office data about "The Twilight Saga" in North America has appeared on Sina.com.

Three days, nearly 100 million US dollars, which is nearly 800 million yuan.

Many people are going crazy looking at this data!

Chen Fei shrugged, "The fan effect and market size determine the box office performance. If you are envious, then quickly expand the domestic theater chain..."

"Forget it and wait."

Han Sanping is passionate about investing in high-production blockbusters.

But if he was asked to develop theater chains under China Film Group Corporation, he always felt that he didn't have much confidence, so he kept playing with Sosou and didn't dare to expand.

On the contrary, Pan-Asia Cinemas, which is owned by Golden Harvest, has recently been fully launched in Shenzhen City and is expanding wildly with Shenzhen City as the center.

Chen Fei specifically told Huo Qigang that if he wanted to make money, he should use at least 2/3 of the theater's revenue for expansion, and the remaining 1/3 for maintenance and daily consumption.

All good things are waiting behind, the storm is coming soon, among these flying pigs, Pan-Asia Cinemas must be the fattest one!

North American data changes day by day, and overall the trend is very good. This also makes the two Wang brothers who are visiting the crew of "The King of Kung Fu" very envious.

"Brother, do you think our film's performance can surpass that of "Twilight"?"

"I think it's okay." Wang Zhongjun analyzed it quite seriously: "Twilight's box office growth seems to be very fast, but it is basically the female fans who are chasing it, just like chasing stars. This model will not last long. , after all, book fans are fixed.

Our "The King of Kung Fu" includes international superstars such as Chen Long and Li Lianjie. Their fans are not less than Twilight's fans, so surpassing the former is inevitable! "

This was said with great certainty, and Wang Zhonglei immediately beamed,

"Then I'm relieved. If the investment of 70 million US dollars can reach 300 million US dollars in North America, it will be a great victory."

Both of them are looking forward to a bright future, but on the crew of "Red Cliff", Wu Yu's face is dark.

Ever since he was "driven" back from Hollywood, he has been looking for opportunities to show those foreigners what it means not to bully the middle-aged and poor.

And "Red Cliff" is the turnaround battle he is about to fight!

He wanted to let those foreigners know that he, Wu Yu, was not exhausted, and the failure of "Wind Talker" was not his fault at all.

At the very least, the box office results he has created in North America and around the world as a Chinese cannot be faked.

However…

In 2005, Chen Fei emerged from the limelight by winning the Golden Bear Award and rushed directly to Hollywood.

A "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and a "Iron Man", coupled with the identity of the chief content executive of Volton Pictures and Marvel Pictures, directly pressed Wu Yu's pride to the ground and rubbed it hard.

"Mission: Impossible 2" has a global box office of 546 million. Before 2006, this was the best result created by a Chinese director on a global scale.

But Chen Fei refreshed this list twice!

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" US$750 million!

"Iron Man" US$870 million!

After learning about this situation, Wu Yu once said that it was difficult to accept it.

If he wants to turn around now, he must at least push the total global box office of "Red Cliff" to more than 870 million US dollars before he can regain the title of "No. 1 Chinese Director".

But can this be done on horseback?

"Ka! Hu Jun, what's wrong with you? You make Zhao Yun look like a bitch! How do you mainland actors learn to act?"

On the set, Hu Jun, who was holding a spear, frowned as he listened to Wu Yu yelling.

I?

Girls?

"Are you going blind when you step on a horse?"

Hu Jun cursed secretly in his heart and almost couldn't help but hit Wu Yu seven times in and seven out.

He secretly vowed that after the filming of "Red Cliff" is completed, he will never cooperate with directors from Hong Kong Island.

What kind of evil things are you doing?

Lin Zhiling on the side was also full of suspicion.

Is there something wrong with Director Wu's mind? Such a manly "Zhao Yun", you actually said he looks like a pussy?

…

The news that "The Mummy 3" will be filmed in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and that Yang Ziqiong defeated Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi to win the role of "Wise Woman" reached Chen Fei's ears at the same time.

"Photographing the First Emperor like a mummy? Can this horse-riding person pass the trial? Do those people have tumors in their brains?"

In the crew, Chen Daoming rarely lost his temper, and it was obvious that he could not bear this kind of operation.

"Attract foreign investment."

Chen Fei only used four simple words to extinguish the anger of a bunch of people.

"When can we really stand up?" Chen Daoming felt very aggrieved.

"You are truly strong when you are strong!"

Chen Fei replied lightly, and then shouted to everyone to continue filming.

Cultural self-confidence takes time to improve, but according to the current situation, it is obvious that the country does not have this condition.

It's not enough for Chen Fei to speed up the pace on his own.

The crew of "2012" sent an email.

The North American box office was US$230 million.

The global box office total was US$654 million.

In China, according to news released by China Film Group Corporation, "2012" grossed 300 million yuan after one month of release, directly defeating imported films such as "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man 3" and maintaining its unrivaled status. Box office trends.

Obviously, the June schedule is also occupied by Hollywood blockbusters...

But this situation is actually normal. After all, many film and television companies in the mainland have participated in the investment of "2012", so the film bureau did not deliberately block the film schedule.

It is precisely because of this that the group of people in the circle are completely enlightened.

Blockbusters are really profitable!

Hollywood movies are really stupid!

There was no publicity in advance, and it reached 300 million yuan, almost breaking the data of "China Partner"!

There were several leaders at the film bureau whose legs were shaking.

They simply can't imagine that if Hollywood's imported films were completely released, to what extent would domestic films be suppressed?

I am afraid that except for Feiyue Film and Television, other film companies have no chance to stop it!

In fact, Chen Fei was completely happy to hear about this kind of thing.

Letting them see a real "disaster" will also be conducive to the development of the domestic film and television industry. After all, only oppression will create motivation.

"Director Chen, come on, lend me your cell phone and I'll vote."

"ah?"

A shout brought Chen Fei back from his thoughts.

Somewhat curiously, he handed over the phone and watched Jing Tian operate it. Chen Fei suddenly felt a little puzzled.

“Who are you voting for?”

"wake!"

"The fast guy's one?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. He and I are from the same hometown, and he is the overall champion of the Western Conference!"

Looking at the excited Jing Tian, ​​Chen Fei silently took out another mobile phone from his pocket, and then voted for Chen Chusheng without hesitation.

In comparison, he prefers this.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang murmured in a low voice: "I actually like Zhang Si better."

Liu Yifei's gossip soul was burning brightly, "I heard that Zhang Di and that female host..."

“Be careful what you say and do!”

Seeing Chen Fei's expression was wrong, Liu Yifei pursed her lips and quickly shut up.

There are too many people in the crew, and if word gets out about any loudmouth, she will get into a lot of trouble.

The filming of the final stage of "Mulan" was not easy. The war scenes between Rouran and the Northern Wei Dynasty were very frequent. In order to pursue the perfection of the shots, each big scene always had to be shot many times before it could be successful.

The general played by Jiao Enjun is really awesome, and every move he makes shows his general style!

It's a pity that no matter how good the filming is, it can't make up for the shortcomings of the family.

His daughter is really not a fuel-efficient person. The key is that she doesn't know how to be grateful!

The promotion of "House of Thieves" has been very hot recently. With the popularity of "The Twilight Saga" and the Palme d'Or, movie fans are looking forward to this film.

The box office pre-sale has ended.

Shanghai Film and Pan Asia sold a total of 20 million yuan in box office, which also means that they can have such high box office data on just the first day!

And this is only the lowest figure, because most other theater chains have not started pre-sale activities, but they will definitely not miss the mark in terms of film arrangement.

"Ip Man 2" and "Overheard 2" are both lined up at the back, and they are also busy with promotions recently.

On this day, after the promotion, Zhou Xun, Wang Zhiwen, Wan Qian, and Zhu Zhu came to visit the crew of "Mulan".

Chen Fei was originally quite cheerful, but he did not expect that these people would bring him a piece of unpleasant news.

Lin Daiyu finally passed away...

She became a nun only three months ago and was unwilling to receive chemotherapy.

In a world without Teacher Xu, no one could persuade her.

Zhou Xun was famous for being outspoken and daring, and he cursed: "Those people are really mean. They have been cursing online before, and now they know that the person is gone, and they are hypocritically mourning again."

Chen Fei looked gloomy. These people are all blood-thirsty people, and they will get retribution sooner or later.

But the fact that the actors are too deeply involved in the play is also a problem.

A play lasted for several years, including training and filming, and the actors must also bring themselves into the role itself, which is a different kind of "bullying".

The old actors are better, but those ignorant young actors will definitely not be able to get out of it for a while.

Coupled with physical reasons, it is inevitable to cause regrets!

Chen Fei suddenly thought of the actor who played the Joker abroad, and Jim Carrey. Most of them were too immersed in the role, which led to depression, withdrawn personality and other states.

Open the portal website, the Internet is full of mourning.

But how many people are sincere?

…

Marvel sent an email saying that Industrial Light and Magic agreed to cooperate in the production of "Game of Thrones".

Originally, Chen Fei was going to let the team from Volton Pictures do it, but because the animation studio was too busy, he simply transferred the special effects team over.

The studio is constantly recruiting people, bringing the old with the new, and working hard to expand.

There are also science fiction masterpieces such as "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​in the future. There are plenty of job opportunities. Now they are afraid that they can't keep up, and there is no worry about having no work.

Natasha called and asked Chen Fei when he would start preparing for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2".

"Please help me find a director. I will provide the script and be the producer for the subsequent sequels, and let others shoot them."

Natasha was quite surprised on the other end of the phone, "Ah? Aren't you going to do it yourself?"

"No." Chen Fei shook his head and refused: "Not to mention the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, even if it is the sequel to Iron Man, I will find other directors to shoot it."

"Why?"

"I like to create new works, not sequels."

"Okay..."

Shrugging helplessly, Natasha began to search her memory, trying to find a suitable director.

But at this time, Chen Fei suddenly said: "The production of the second and third parts of Twilight must be more refined, and a company that is far ahead in the industry can be found for special effects.

The cost can be stacked, but the picture must be expanded for me. I don't want to reach the state of Harry Potter, but at least it can't be too bad."

The top blockbusters produced in Hollywood are jointly participated by many special effects companies. After all, everyone has their own strengths.

Although this will lead to an increase in production costs, the effect presented on the screen in the end will definitely make the audience amazed!

And judging from the box office data of the first Twilight movie, it is also worth a higher investment by Walt Disney Studios.

Even though the Film Bureau is holding back on the number of films, the domestic box office in the first week still reached 40 million RMB.

As for foreign countries, it is even more exaggerated. It has almost exceeded 100 million US dollars in three days of release. Now a week has passed, and the box office has successfully exceeded 150 million US dollars.

In the Hollywood movie market in June, this data is second only to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

As for 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four 2", it is completely suppressed!

It can be seen that the box office results of the second and third parts will definitely not be too bad.

Additional investment is urgent!

…

Time will gradually dilute everything, and mourning did not last long.

Lin Daiyu will always live in the hearts of fans, and has completely gotten rid of the online abuse. Perhaps she will go to a time and space where she can be happy.

The release of "Shoplifters" is getting closer.

Recently, almost all major portals are about news about this movie.

For the sake of the movie box office, Ren Zhonglun spared no effort and almost did his best in publicity.

Guangguang also made an effort and took the initiative to invite the main creative team to the show for various publicity.

Even Chen Fei accepted an interview in his busy schedule.

Wang Changtian arranged Xie Nan to the "Mulan" crew.

As soon as the heroic girl arrived at the scene, a bunch of people surrounded her and greeted her. Chen Fei saw that Wu Jing was staring at her, as if he was going to pounce on her and eat her.

"Damn, a bunch of perverts."

Rolling his eyes, Chen Fei picked up the loudspeaker and drove the guys to training.

"Sorry, didn't I scare you?"

"No."

Xie Nan shook his head and smiled to show that he didn't care. After all, he was a host, and his ability to control the situation and psychological quality were still strong.

"If it's convenient for you, let's start the interview directly?"

"Okay."

Chen Fei nodded, asked Zhu Yawen to move two chairs over, and started recording the show outdoors.

In fact, he was quite curious about how Liu Yan and Brother Chen Kai dealt with the matter in the end, but after thinking about it, it was better not to gossip.

With the light protecting her, I think Brother Chen Kai can't do anything to her.

After the interview, Xie Nan didn't stay in the crew for long and left the set directly.

The movie is about to be released, and I still need to do editing. I may have to work overtime to finish it after I go back.

…

July 14, Saturday.

On the day when "Shoplifters" was released, Chen Fei took a day off and took a group of people from the crew to watch the movie.

Because there were so many people, he simply booked several screening rooms.

Ren Zhonglun wanted to hold a premiere, but was rejected by Chen Fei.

This kind of movie with suffering and tragedy is not suitable for a lively premiere, it can be directly released in theaters.

The audience's word of mouth will be the best publicity!

Before the film started, Liu Yifei asked curiously: "What kind of movie is this?"

Several people around turned their heads, waiting for Chen Fei to answer them.

"It is full of love and warmth, but it also contains indifference and cruelty."

With curiosity and doubts, everyone began to watch the feature film.

The story begins when the father and son pick up a little girl hiding on the balcony on their way home...

The 117-minute movie is like a layer of healing sugar coating wrapped around the bitter core.

When Zhou Xun broke down and cried in the interrogation room, sobs rang out in the theater.

When the father played by Wang Zhiwen said goodbye to his "son", the unforgettable bond entangled together, giving people an unspeakable helplessness and depression!

There is no doubt that this is a movie that can resonate with people!

It is worthy of the recognition of the Palme d'Or.

On the 15th, the first-day box office of "Shoplifters" was officially announced by Shanghai Film Group.

Because of the pre-sale factor, coupled with the support of other theaters in various scheduling and publicity, the first-day box office directly blinded the eyes of countless people in the circle.

48.5 million RMB!

The Palme d'Or is really terrifying!
