Chapter 284 Douban Score 96, Greedy Monk, Made Money While Standing! 500 Million!

Chapter 284 Douban score 9.6, the greedy monk made money while standing! 500 million!

The filming locations of "Game of Thrones" are almost all over Europe and America!

"The Iron Throne" was filmed in Belfast, the capital of Ireland.

The northern part of the series is mainly in Northern Ireland and Iceland, while the southern part is in Croatia and Spain.

In the first season, the wedding scene of Daenerys and Khal Drogo before she became the Mother of Dragons was filmed in Malta, also known as the "Blue Window". The scenery is very spectacular and beautiful.

The filming location for Winterfell is Doune Castle in Scotland, and the forest outside the castle is in Tollymore Forest Park in Northern Ireland.

There are many more scenes like this!

Except for King's Landing, which was in a studio, most of the scenes were shot on location and on location.

Although Marvel is responsible for the coordination of these shooting locations, each transition consumes a large portion of funds, which is why the investment per episode is as high as $6 million.

“What a beautiful scenery!”

When she came to the "Blue Window" filming location, Emilia was obviously conquered by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature in front of her, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

This is the place where Dragon Mother and Horse King held their wedding, and it is also where Dragon Mother officially rose to power!

"I can film and travel at the same time, haha, I like this crew."

Jason Momoa held up his camera and took a sharp picture of the scenery in front of him.

High investment means big scenes, and the background of Game of Thrones is clearly comparable to the movie scenes, and even far exceeds the average fantasy film.

Chen Fei's goal is very simple. As long as every shot can be comparable to the image quality of "The Twilight Saga", this is the effect he wants.

Of course, he can only keep these words in his own heart. If Mr. Woody Allen knew about it, he might scold him!

Even if your TV series has an investment of 6 million US dollars per episode, it cannot be compared to a movie with an investment of 30 million US dollars!

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

…

The first round of broadcast of "My Leader, My Team" has officially ended. Mango Channel has given feedback and the ratings have been soaring!

When it first premiered, it was very controversial online, with almost mixed reviews.

But as subsequent episodes were presented one by one, the Douban score climbed all the way from 5.6 to 9.6. At the end of the first round of broadcasts, the forums and Douban discussion groups were full of praise!

"This is a work that was seriously underestimated when it first aired. I have never seen a TV series that portrays human nature and national character more profoundly and accurately than this TV series. It also has multiple interpretations on the basis of restoring history. It is fascinating. Shocking!”

"Defeat, victory; homesickness, defense; shamelessness, kindness; hatred, compassion; collapse, struggle; wrangling, comrade; survival, death; guilt, pride; debt, repayment; sacrifice, revenge; self-deprecation, contempt; disillusionment, evocation ; Despair, faith; fear, fearlessness; decadence, passion! This drama not only lets you know why China was forced to almost subjugate, but also tells you why we didn’t subjugate even though we fought like that.”

"I like this narrative, this madness, and the endless tossing. After reading it, I felt like I cried the entire year of 2007!"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Ke said very seriously:

"At the beginning of the year, I thought "New Shanghai" would continue to dominate this year's ratings. In the middle of the year, I thought "Struggle" would be successful. But at the end of the year, I felt that "My Leader, My Group" was the real success. The overlord!

Regardless of the concept or the core of the story, it is much better than that pseudo-struggle. "

Hey?

Chen Fei suddenly became happy: "Don't let these words reach the ears of those in the Beijing circle, otherwise I'm afraid your position as deputy director will have to be moved."

"Ahem." Wang Ke coughed twice: "Just pretend I never said this."

"Hahaha!"

After the first round of broadcasting, the advertising fee share will gradually be transferred to the company's account. As for the second round, third round, and even the sale of webcast copyrights, the company's professional team will be responsible for these.

A week has passed, and the mainland box office data of "Overheard 2" has been firmly fixed at 115 million yuan, once again breaking the record of the first film!

Perhaps because they saw signs of recovery in Hong Kong films, Shaolin Temple actually opened a new drama, and specially invited action actors from Hong Kong such as Hong Jingbao.

Su Guohai complained on the phone: "I finally discovered that these monks are so obsessed with money that they don't even know what kind of Buddha they worship."

After listening to his explanation, Chen Fei realized that those from Buddhism had actually contacted Feiyue Film and Television, saying that they could provide a portion of the investment share in the new drama.

The condition given there was that they wanted Chen Fei to participate in the filming of the new drama!

Su Guohai was so angry that he refused without even asking for permission.

He was particularly puzzled, where did those people get their confidence?

Chen Fei laughed happily on the phone: "Haha, haven't you heard of this sentence? I can only save Yuan people."

"What kind of bullshit are they..."

Su Guohai believed in Taoism and nature, and had no good impression of that temple.

"Just ignore them. Their goal is to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory. Just treat them as pure businessmen."

The Venice Film Festival finally came to the final closing ceremony, and Chen Fei took the time to pay attention to the live broadcast.

European Sanjin will not make those speechless double egg yolks like in China.

After the results of the Huabiao Awards held at the end of August came out, there was an uproar in the industry!

Two Best Actor Awards, two Best Actress Awards...

This operation is simply disgusting!

In order to promote "The Legend of Yunshui", the guys above ignored the outside influence and gave Chen Kun and Li Bingbin the Best Actor and Best Actress Awards.

Poor Fu Dalong and Ding Jiali, even if they were very dissatisfied, they still had to put on a smile on the podium.

Chen Fei secretly rejoiced that he didn't send "Shoplifters" to the awards ceremony, otherwise it would be very likely that he would get three egg yolks.

That would be a lot of fun!

Now in China, except for the Hundred Flowers Award, Chen Fei can barely accept any other awards.

What the hell are they?

The chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of this Venice International Film Festival is Zhang Yimou. On the closing ceremony stage, Zhang Yimou's fluent English triggered applause from the audience.

There are quite a lot of Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition this year, which can be regarded as the most.

Lao Mouzi probably put a lot of effort in it!

"Lust, Caution", "The Sun Also Rises", "Detective", "Help Me, Eros".

The directors in Taiwan are also very good. The plot of "Three People on the Rooftop" is not something that ordinary directors can think of!

However, Li An's move was also very bad. The Oscar for Best Director could have made him "a god" in China, but because of Lust, Caution, his privileges in the mainland were directly withdrawn.

He is also a strange person. Sometimes he is very patriotic, and sometimes he presents another attitude.

It is really hard to tell whether he is good or evil.

There are many international directors and Hollywood stars who went to the scene.

The camera swept across the audience, and Chen Fei saw several familiar faces at a glance.

Catherine Breillat, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Owen Wilson, James McAvoy...

"It's worthy of being the three European golds. This is even bigger than the Oscars!"

Chen Fei thought secretly. He had won the Golden Bear and the Golden Palm before. Next time, he should charge for the Golden Lion!

The winning situation was exactly the same as the fragments in his memory.

Li An won the Golden Lion Award again with "Lust, Caution"!

When the news came back to China, there was another round of praise, which instantly crushed the popularity of the previous Huabiao Awards and completely suppressed the popularity of Chen Fei's transformation to TV dramas.

Ning Hao called and asked if he wanted to come back to participate in the opening ceremony of "Painted Skin"?

"Lost in Thailand" will also land on the National Day schedule on October 1st, and it is being promoted hotly recently.

If it weren't for Li An winning the Golden Lion Award, all major portals should have been full of news about this movie shot in Thailand recently.

"You guys can handle it yourself. I won't go back. I'm in Iceland right now. It's too much trouble to go back and forth."

"Hey? After all, it's your own script. Why don't you pay attention?"

"I believe you. You are enough. After all, you are the only director in the 300 million box office club. Why do you need me to support you?"

"I like to hear that!"

After chatting for a few words, Chen Fei hung up the phone directly.

"Painted Skin" is about to start filming, and "Life and Death Line" has been handed over to Kang Honglei after passing the review. Only "The Sound of Wind" is left and no one has taken over for the time being.

Chen Fei suddenly thought of Tian Zhuangzhuang.

This person's ban on directing has passed. This year, he also filmed his first biographical film "Wu Qingyuan". His directing skills are absolutely top-notch!

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Fei said before that if there is a suitable script, he can give it to him to try.

"Why not give him "The Sound of Wind" to shoot?"

Chen Fei thought secretly, but did not contact the other party immediately.

This kind of thing can't be explained over the phone. We can talk face to face when we have free time.

A piece of news from abroad suddenly dominated the headlines of portal websites!

"Lust, Caution", which won the Golden Lion Award, was rated NC-17 in North America.

The meaning is very simple, that is, it is forbidden for teenagers under 17 to watch.

This is even more severe than 18+!

Some netizens who returned from the Venice Film Festival began to spread the news online, promoting how wonderful this film is, how sexy the mole is, how refreshing the sideways movement is...

For a while, movie fans were even more itchy.

The Film Bureau urgently came out to refute the rumor, saying that this type of scene will never be shown in domestic theaters, and it will be deleted when the time comes.

It would be better if there was no explanation. Once the explanation was given, netizens became even more itchy.

"Brothers, the days of flying to Hong Kong to watch horror movies are over. Let's go watch Lust, Caution together next."

"Okay! Count me in!"

"Everyone listen to me. I have inside information. Because the scale is too large, the Hong Kong version has also been cut a lot. If you want to watch the whole uncut version, you must go to Taiwan!"

"I'll go buy a plane ticket now!"

"Big brothers, can you help bring back a pirated copy? We can't leave and have no money to buy plane tickets!"

"We are all brothers, bringing a copy is absolutely no problem!"

The news on the Internet was so hot that even Li An had to explain in person: "I won't deliberately show off pornography, but if I don't do well in this regard, I will be sorry for the audience and this subject matter..."

Because he watched the uncut version at midnight before his rebirth, Chen Fei still has a say.

"Lust, Caution" is actually the same as the drama film of the island country, but the core of the story is more fleshed out than that kind of plot.

There is no doubt that this movie will be a big hit in Xiaoli!

While filming "King's Road", the second episode of Game of Thrones Season 1, Chen Fei received a call from Jiang Wen.

"Alas, failed again."

"Where's the copyright? Didn't it sell out?"

"Almost no one wants it."

"..."

Jiang Wen's film is too dangerous. Most people in China are taboo about it, but foreigners can't understand it, which creates a deadlock.

Although it was shortlisted for the main competition, Venice is somewhat different from Cannes and Berlin.

If you want to sell copyrights there, you have to get an award, otherwise you won't be able to get a good price at all.

"Then what are you going to do? Go back?"

"Just wait a little longer."

Jiang Wen sighed and said: "I finally discovered that this art film is really difficult to make. I have to try commercial films after I go back this time."

"Any new plans?"

Chen Fei asked casually.

But he never thought that Jiang Wen actually responded: "I already have an idea. I recently set up a film company with a friend and bought a novel "The Thief of Officials" written by Ma Shitu and set in the Republic of China era. The copyright of this book is being researched.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly became interested!

Lao Jiang is preparing to make money standing up!

"Do you need investment? Do you want me to help you?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you kidding me, brother?"

"Hey? Are you kidding me? Given our attitudes towards the Japanese, shouldn't I help you?"

"Is that an agreement? I will leave you a role during the preparations and a 20% investment share."

"no problem!"

Chen Fei agreed without hesitation.

This film is definitely a classic. He had watched it several times, so being able to participate in it was a dream come true.

…

"Painted Skin" officially launched on September 15th. All major investors were present, and the red carpet ceremony was star-studded.

The media all thought that Chen Fei would rush back, but when they arrived at the scene, they discovered that the host was actually Ning Hao!

Obviously, that man never came back!

"Director Ning, are you confident in this movie? It's a fantasy genre, and it also has special effects. This is a style you've never been exposed to before."

"Try it and take your time. Anyway, Mr. Chen has a lot of trust in me. Didn't you see that he didn't come back today? Leave everything to me."

"囧囧 will be released in half a month. Do you have any predictions about the box office?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Hao's eyes suddenly became complicated.

"I personally feel that it will exceed 200 million, and it should be around 250 million..."

The flashbulbs have started to flash, which means that the director of Feiyue Film and Television dares to say this, and the opening price is 200 million, which is really awesome!

However, what everyone at the scene never expected was that Ning Hao then added: "But Mr. Chen feels that the total box office should exceed "Source Code", and he predicted that the domestic box office will be 500 million."

? ? ?

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy power-on ceremony suddenly became silent.

The three investors, China Film, Shanghai Film, and Wanda, all looked at it with deep doubts in their eyes.

500 million?

Are you kidding me?

Han Sanping looked even more unbelievable: "Did Chen Fei say this himself?"

"right."

Ning Hao nodded slowly and put the hammer down directly.

In the afternoon, Chen Fei's box office forecast for the movie "囧" was published on the portal.

The title is domineering!

["囧囧" will be officially released on the National Day schedule on October 1st. Its screenwriter and producer Chen Fei personally predicts that the box office will eventually exceed 500 million yuan, and the first 500 million box office club director in domestic film history is about to be born... 】

The news spread quickly, netizens were stunned, and the film and television industry was in an uproar!

"500 million? Are you kidding me?"

"Pfft... Just treat it as a joke. It's just nonsense."

"Hahahaha, I don't think it's even 200 million."

"Tsk tsk, he is indeed a great director. 500 million is like five yuan in his mouth."

"Stop it……"

For a time, doubts resounded in the circle, and it also attracted the attention of countless netizens in post bars and forums.

Ning Hao immediately called Chen Fei's mobile phone.

"It's over. I can't hold it any longer. Now many people in the industry say we are bragging. No one is discussing the launch of "Painted Skin" at all. They are all talking about 500 million..."

"Calm down first and listen to me. In fact, this is also a good thing. The greater the attention it arouses, the more curious people will be. There will inevitably be many people who walk into the theater out of curiosity, which will have an impact on the box office increase. beneficial impact.”

Ning Hao's face was full of tangles: "But what if the reputation collapses, the box office fails, and the final revenue is less than 500 million?"

Chen Fei smiled confidently: "The number of 500 million is what I said, not you. Even if it is not reached by then, netizens will only laugh at me, so what does it have to do with you?"

"But…"

"Stop being so stubborn and go shoot your "Painted Skin" right away. Don't worry about it, just let it ferment."

"All right."

Ning Hao had no choice but to hang up the phone, but he was still tangled up in his heart.

For publicity, Chen Fei had already bet on his undefeated record!

If the box office performance of "Lost in Thailand" is not ideal, this will become the first stain he has stained since his debut.

~

At this time, in Spain, Chen Fei, who has already filmed the fourth episode of Game of Thrones, "The Incomplete Body", was enjoying a sunbath quite leisurely.

The work intensity has been a bit high in recent days, and the actors obviously can't stand it, so he took a day off.

Ning Hao was very worried, but Chen Fei was not panicked at all.

"Lost in Thailand" is not an ordinary comedy. It is the first domestic movie to break the box office of 1 billion in 21 days!

Although this achievement was created in 2012.

But a movie with a very mature comedy style will not form a huge difference because of a short five-year time difference!

The gap between the film market in 2007 and 2012 is reflected in the number of theaters and economic scale. Therefore, Chen Fei does not expect it to achieve a box office of 1 billion in 21 days.

He only needs 500 million now!

High frequency publicity + maximum screening volume + National Day schedule + no competitors during the same period...

500 million box office!

Easy to get!
