Chapter 277 The Strength of the Second Generation of "Flying Girls"! Go to Mango, 22.7 Billion Liquidated Damages!

"Can you tell me again? How much is the first day box office?"

"Mr. Wang, it's 48.5 million RMB."

At the filming site of "The Forbidden Kingdom" in Hollywood, Wang Zhonglei felt bad.

48.5 million!

You made half a month's worth of box office revenue in just one day. What the hell is this? Feiyue Film and Shanghai Film Group can make all the money together. You don't leave any way for others to survive!

Back then, the first day box office record in the mainland was still 42 million of "Source Code".

At that time, many film companies secretly made up their minds to break this record and make a great comeback.

But now, you have pushed the data to 48.5 million?

What the hell!

~

Some are happy and some are worried.

Many film companies in the industry are shouting "The wolf is coming", but Ren Zhonglun can't close his mouth with laughter.

Shanghai Film Group has been doing publicity for so many years, but this is the first time it has received such good box office data.

He couldn't even imagine how proud he would be when he went to the General Administration to report his work this year!

Picking up the phone, he called the publicity department of Shanghai Film Group directly: "Keep pushing for me, and make sure the data is going up. If the box office of this movie can exceed 200 million, the publicity department's bonus this year will double!"

"Mr. Ren, you can arrange the celebration banquet, but try to schedule it later. I really can't leave recently."

When Chen Fei received the call from Ren Zhonglun, he was checking the contract with Su Guohai and the company's lawyer.

It's almost August 1st, and "My Captain, My Regiment" will be premiered on Mango TV, and it has been confirmed that it will be premiered in the prime time.

The reason for reviewing the contract again is to be safe.

Tianyu, a subsidiary of Mango TV, specializes in those messy contract regulations.

Look, now the champion of the second Super Girl is also terminating the contract.

The extremely long contract period and strict terms are actually something that state-owned enterprises can do. It's really a rip-off.

Su Guohai was completely confused: "8 million yuan in termination compensation, that's because Super Girls has high commercial value, otherwise who can afford it?"

"Aren't capitalists all vampires?"

Fade Chen was used to it. After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, he specifically reminded: "When you sign a contract with Mango TV in the future, get a professional team of lawyers to go through each item one by one. Even if the relationship is good, you must not be careless about such things."

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."

Putting away the contract, Su Guohai reminded again: "They want to invite you to record a program, the recently popular "Happy Camp", to increase the popularity of the TV series' premiere."

"Okay, this week, I'll take the time to participate."

…

Su Guohai had just left, and before Fade Chen arranged for his assistant to buy a ticket for him, Liu Xiaoli walked in from the door again.

"Auntie? What's the matter?"

It seemed that there was some good news, and Liu Xiaoli's face was filled with a happy smile.

"The Mummy 3" sent an email, wanting Xixi to audition. They said that the role of "tombkeeper" is very suitable for her."

Tombkeeper?

Recalling the memories in his mind, Chen Fei shook his head and said, "Refuse it. That role is not suitable for Liu Yifei. Also, try not to touch this movie."

A basin of cold water directly extinguished Liu Xiaoli's passion.

She was stunned for a moment. Although she was a little curious about why she couldn't touch it, she nodded seriously and replied, "I'll reply there right away."

Liu Yifei's current agency contract is signed with Volton Pictures, which means that her work schedule is determined by Chen Fei.

Liu Xiaoli is very relieved to leave her daughter to him!

The reason is very simple. In addition to having a lot of resources in his hands, Chen Fei also has a deep understanding of the inside story of some movies and TV series.

This kind of "foresight" can avoid risks very well, and this is also what Liu Xiaoli is most satisfied and relieved about.

Since Chen Fei said he won't go, then don't go!

Liu Xiaoli is preparing to reply, but the news still spreads on the Internet.

The producer of "The Mummy 3" personally came out to say that he very much hopes that mainland actors can join this film, and also expressed the idea of ​​cooperating with Liu Yifei.

When the news came out, the domestic entertainment industry was in an uproar!

A group of actresses were envious and their eyes were red. They couldn't figure out why all the good things were monopolized by Liu Yifei?

The heroine of "Source Code", the strong invitation of "Forbidden Kingdom", the heroine of "Mulan"...

Looking around, they are all top resources!

Now the producer of "The Mummy 3" even spoke in front of reporters, saying that he very much hopes to cooperate with Liu Yifei, which is a resource that ordinary female stars can't even ask for by selling themselves!

However, before the heat was completely hyped up, Liu Yifei issued a statement.

"First of all, I would like to thank Universal Pictures for the invitation, but the filming of "Mulan" is heavy and I can't be distracted. I can only regretfully refuse. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future..."

Rejected? ? ?

When seeing this statement issued by Liu Yifei, a bunch of female stars in the circle were shocked!

They couldn't imagine what kind of situation this was, but a Hollywood blockbuster was just dumped so naturally?

"Didn't you hesitate at all?"

In the crew of "Shangshufang", Yang Mi muttered to herself, looking at the statement posted online, with deep envy unconsciously revealed in her eyes.

If it were her, she would definitely fly to Hollywood as soon as she received the invitation from Universal Pictures!

But the fairy was different, she refused without hesitation.

Such an attitude!

She is indeed the second generation of "Flying Girl"!

While thinking, she sent a resume to the email of the casting team of Universal Pictures.

No matter whether she can be selected or not, just give it a try.

She is not Liu Yifei, who has Chen Fei as a backing, and she doesn't care about such a big production.

For a while, many female stars in the circle began to find connections to "recommend themselves" and wanted to get an audition opportunity.

…

On July 19, Chen Fei, Kang Honglei, Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, Xing Jiadong and others came to Mango TV's "Happy Camp" to promote "My Captain, My Group".

At this time, the Happy Family had been established.

He Jiong, Li Weijia, Xie Na, Du Haitao, Wu Xin, they are all considered Chen Fei's childhood memories.

"Teacher He, long time no see."

He Jiong has always been the pillar of Happy Camp, and even one of the best hosts in Mango TV.

Chen Fei has met him at many award ceremonies.

This person has a high EQ, and his words show respect, which makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

"Haha, Director Chen, long time no see, I was still waiting to meet you at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, but I didn't expect that I didn't wait for you in the end."

As he said, he turned his head to look at Wang Ke on the side, and smiled and joked: "Director Wang, are you here to guide us?"

"Haha, I don't understand your variety shows. I just came here with a client. This is the first time Director Chen has entered our Mango TV recording and broadcasting center. I'm afraid he has taken the wrong path."

After being transferred from Xiaoxiang Studio to Mango TV, Wang Ke became one of the deputy directors in charge of TV drama business.

As long as he can hold on to Chen Fei's thigh, his business this year will be at the "excellent level", so he will naturally be more attentive.

The two TV series "Soldier Assault" and "Lurking" received great responses and the management was very satisfied.

Now that he has signed a contract with Chen Fei for two TV series "My Captain, My Regiment" and "My Brother is Shunliu", Wang Ke's business this year is already the best among the deputy directors!

The recording went smoothly and the audience was very respectful.

Anyway, in Chen Fei's opinion, today's show should be able to increase the ratings of the premiere.

The only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that Xie Na's mouth was really broken, and she kept talking. If it weren't for He Jiong's bottom line, she would definitely be in a mess!

This is still a recorded broadcast. If it was a live broadcast, with her hosting skills, I don't know what kind of embarrassment she would make!

…

After recording Happy Camp, Chen Fei was just about to follow Wang Ke to visit Mango TV when Ning Hao suddenly called.

"Hahahaha, the nominations for the Venice Film Festival are out."

"Hey? What's up? Are you so happy?"

"We have three films shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival, namely Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", Li Kangsheng's "Help Me Eros", and Li An's "Lust, Caution."

Hearing this, Chen Fei finally came back to his senses.

"Hey? Where is Lu Chuan's "Nanjing! Nanjing!"? Didn't he clamor online to guarantee that he would be shortlisted for the main competition unit?"

"Hahahaha!"

Ning Hao started laughing again, and after a long while he explained: "The reason given by the jury is that the narrative angle does not conform to the real historical records."

"Pfft, this unlucky guy."

Although it is a bit regrettable that I can't see Lu Chuan's expression in person, it should be very interesting to think about it!

At the beginning, I vowed that I would definitely be shortlisted for Cannes, but I never thought that I would be eliminated in the first round. I turned around and ran to the Venice Film Festival, but was eliminated again.

This face slap is loud!

"Can you help me find out when the film is going to be released?"

"Hit him?"

"It has to be hit!"

As he walked, he talked and when he hung up the phone, Chen Fei looked up and saw many people busy in a very large studio.

"What are they doing?"

"Tomorrow night is the final night of the 2007 Happy Boys. The staff are debugging the equipment and preparing for the finals."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes lit up immediately.

"Are there any tickets left? Can you save me a live ticket?"

"Oh?" Wang Ke raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you also like to participate in this kind of boy group audition activities?"

"Just happened to meet, let's have some fun together. I have always watched Happy Boys and Super Girls online before, and I haven't seen them live yet."

"Okay, I'll ask for you later. There should be internal tickets left."

As he said, Wang Ke took out his mobile phone and called the general manager of Happy Boys directly.

"What? Director Chen wants to watch the Happy Boys finals? Want a live ticket?"

On the other end of the phone, Long Danny, the chief director of Happy Boys, was excited after confirming several times that the Director Chen mentioned by Wang Ke was Chen Fei, who had just won the Golden Palm Award.

"Sure, of course!"

After a while, Chen Fei met the legendary figure who was called the "godmother of talent shows" by netizens.

"Director Long."

"Director Chen, I have heard of you for a long time!"

Although the 34-year-old Long Danny is not in his prime, his vigorous and shrewd temperament is still rare in the circle.

Although both of them are directors, there is still a big difference between them. After all, Chen Fei is almost the top film director in the circle.

"This is the ticket for the finals. It's an honor. I didn't expect to see you here."

Dani Long was very polite and respectful in his words.

"Sorry for bothering Director Long." Chen Fei responded with a smile.

"Actually, I have another unwelcome request. Can Director Chen come on stage and say a few words during the finals?"

When this was said, Wang Ke frowned slightly.

This woman has crossed the line!

But she never thought that Chen Fei didn't care at all and responded casually: "Sure, this is no problem, just say a few words."

Agreed? !

Danny Long became more and more excited and thanked him again and again.

Wang Ke, this old guy, still knows how to play. He had been shouting before that he must arrange him well after Chen Fei came to Mango TV.

And tonight, Chen Fei finally knew how to arrange it!

These people in China seem to like white-skinned, blue-eyed foreigners. Although Chen Fei also likes them, he still prefers the kind of happiness of the cultivation system.

For example, Lin Yuer and IU.

Natasha keeps sending him emails.

The box office trend of "Twilight" is very good, and the North American box office data is infinitely close to the 200 million US dollar mark!

In addition to crushing "Fantastic Four 2", it has successfully defeated several movies such as "Bruce Almighty 2" and "1408 Phantom Room"!

Fox is also anxious. Recently, it has frequently contacted Marvel Pictures, hoping to reach a cooperation on subsequent film shooting plans.

After "Fantastic Four 2" failed, Fox's follow-up only has "Die Hard 4", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Alien vs. Predator 2" and the national animation "The Simpsons".

But whether these series and cartoons can make money is still unknown.

As the current boss lady of Fox, Wendy Deng contacted Chen Fei many times, but was rejected every time.

"Hmph, what's so great about that? Isn't it just two big productions? After "Avatar" is released, I will let you see what a real big production is!"

Wendy Deng was a little upset. She really couldn't understand why Chen Fei didn't want to contact her.

Isn't she, a mature young woman, attractive enough?

…

After learning that Chen Fei actually went to participate in the finals of Super Boy, Liu Yifei and others who had an extra day off for no reason were speechless.

The movie hasn't been finished yet, and their own director actually went to chase stars. How can this be justified?

"Anyway, we have nothing to do, let's come to watch the finals!"

Liu Yifei led a group of girls in their twenties to stay in the hotel room, waiting for the start of the 2-to-1 finals tonight.

It is rare that although a group of people think Su Xing is more handsome, if they are asked to vote, they will definitely choose Chen Chusheng without hesitation.

As for Jing Tian, ​​the only one who insisted on Su Xing, her scenes in the crew have been finished, and Lu Zheng took her to audition for "The Mummy 3".

As one of the famous "people who brought money into the crew", Jing Tian's main goal this time was to buy roles!

However, the success rate should not be too high, after all, it seems that Li Lianjie still has the final say on this role.

The night of the finals.

The studio with thousands of people was full. Chen Fei and a group of senior executives of Mango sat in the front row, watching He Jiong and Wang Han host.

"We specially invited a special guest tonight. Now let's welcome Director Chen to the stage with the warmest applause and cheer for our two singers participating in the competition tonight!"

In the hotel of the Mulan crew, when they saw Chen Fei walk onto the stage and take the microphone from He Jiong, a group of people were stunned.

"Wow? Director Chen went to the Super Boys to be a judge?"

"Are you kidding? Chasing stars on stage?"

"Hey, do you believe it? Chen Fei will be on the headlines again tomorrow!"

A group of people nodded in agreement. This is inevitable!

"I am very happy to be here to watch the Super Boys finals tonight. I hope both contestants can do their best to charge for the championship throne and start your highlight moments.

It's embarrassing. I finally came here, but I can't bring you any gifts.

How about this, I can make a promise to the two contestants participating tonight. No matter who wins the championship of the Super Boys finals, I will invite him to participate in the post-production of my new movie "Mulan".

Whether it is the theme song or the ending song, you can choose it!"

Boom! ! !

As soon as the voice fell, the applause was thunderous.

In the backstage, the other contestants of the 07 Super Boys were full of envy. They wanted to kick Chen Chusheng and Su Xing away and receive the championship reward themselves.

The competition hasn't even started yet, but they have already been offered a good job opportunity. It's really hard to resist this temptation!

Sitting down again, Long Danny's eyes were extremely complicated.

"Director Chen, you have given us a big surprise!"

"Haha, it can be regarded as riding on the popularity of the Super Boy."

Although that's what they said, the difference between the two is a world of difference.

"Mulan" is destined to go international, but the Super Boy is just a domestic talent show. The two are not at the same level at all.

If they are lucky enough, the singer may even be on the Oscar podium!

This gift was really a bit too much for Danny Long.

The three-hour finals officially began!

0713 Singing on the same stage, judges singing, contestants singing, two people PK...

"Chen Chusheng's breath is really stable."

"Indeed, Su Xing is a little worse in this aspect."

Chen Fei and Danny Long chatted casually until the final voting session began, and both of them began to get excited unconsciously.

There is no shady deal on the night of the finals. The competition is completely based on the popularity and strength of the contestants. Mango TV will not engage in shady operations in such occasions.

"Su Xing: 2573655 votes!"

"Chen Chusheng: 3318550 votes!"

"Dear friends, I declare: The annual champion of the 2007 Happy Boys is Chen Chusheng!"

The fireworks exploded and the applause continued.

Chen Fei also applauded, but he began to think in his heart, how to avoid the dark 23 minutes between Chen Chusheng and Mango TV?

He still likes this singer quite a lot, so he also wants to do something within his ability.

Arrogant capital collides with youthful vigor, and neither of them is willing to give in, which eventually led to a 22.7 billion yuan liquidated damages incident.

Mango TV is also very ruthless, and the sky-high liquidated damages are enough for Chen Fei to shoot more than 20 A-level productions!
