Chapter 310: The Art of Language, One Look and One Silence, Challenge "Emergence of Power", Mission Starts

Chapter 310 The art of language, no one speaks at a glance, challenge the "emergence of power", when the mission sets sail...

There will inevitably be a speech session before the movie is played.

Wang Zhonglei held up the microphone with confidence on his face.

"Professional institutions have made predictions before. The global box office will be at least 100 million US dollars, and the mainland can provide at least 300 million box office. I can make a promise here. If this result can really be achieved, everyone will Watch "The King of Kung Fu 2" next year!

Series?

"Are you so playful when you first came up?"

Many film and television company owners and producers present were a little shocked by Huayi's courage. There are indeed few companies in China that can make such an investment.

"Huayi is pretty strong, right?" Ning Hao sighed with emotion.

Chen Fei folded his hands in front of his chest and stared at the screen for a long time. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly: "We'll talk about it after watching the movie. It's useless no matter how much he says with a pale face. It depends on whether the fans can accept it."

The movie started playing.

The footage of Chinatown attracted a lot of attention...

More than an hour passed with difficulty. At the beginning, many people still had expectations, and there were even discussions from time to time.

But the further we looked back, the more silent the scene became. In the end, it completely fit the phrase "you can hear a needle drop."

Chen Fei covered his mouth and pretended to cough, but in fact he was trying hard to suppress his smile, "Take a good look, and don't make a sound when you look at it."

Liu Yifei breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to herself, "Thankfully I didn't act, otherwise I would have to shoot a kissing scene."

When she saw Zhao Yanzi kissing the foreigner, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. This was too alienating.

The film soon came to an end, and there were more whispers on the scene.

Chen Fei, Ning Hao and Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at each other. None of the three of them spoke, but everything was said in silence.

At the end of the movie, the guests from abroad were obviously more excited than the domestic guests. The combination of Chen Long and Li Lian for action scenes was still very attractive to them.

The main creators were already being interviewed on stage. Just as Chen Fei was about to find an excuse to slip away, he heard Wang Zhongjun's voice.

"We have an all-around director at the premiere. He can handle both literary and commercial films. He never fails. Let's listen to his opinion."

Mud?

Cue me for what?

Chen Fei frowned, his mind wandered, and he quickly started looking for the right words.

I definitely can't say good things. If the reputation of this film completely collapses in the end, I will be trapped in it too!

After pondering for a while, he took the microphone handed by the staff and said seriously: "To be honest, I actually admire Director Minkoff, but I definitely can't make such a film anyway.

Being able to have both Chen Long and Li Lianlian star in a movie can be regarded as fulfilling my childhood kung fu dream. The fighting scenes are really cool and made my heart beat wildly. "

After speaking, Chen Fei directly handed over the microphone.

Everyone around him looked at him with confusion.

Is this a compliment? Or are you being sarcastic?

The gringos didn't care about this. They thought more straightforwardly. After hearing the word "admire", they took it for granted that Chen Fei was praising others.

But the two Wang brothers are both the best among men, and they clearly understood the meaning of Chen Fei's pun.

After the interview, Wang Zhonglei came directly to Chen Fei and asked for advice very seriously and humbly: "Director Chen? What you just said seems to have profound meaning? Can you explain it in detail?"

After all, he is also a partner, and he is currently one of the shareholders of Huayi. He can barely be called a grasshopper and an eagle riding in the same boat.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fei gave him a few words of advice based on his own experience: "Actually, there is nothing to say. If Huayi wants to go public, it mainly needs to cater to the foreign market and reputation. It is understandable to make such a movie. But try not to make big claims next time. After all, domestic movie fans will not accept your words. Huayi is a mainland film company after all, so it still needs to focus on the reputation and praise of mainland movie fans. "

One sentence directly made Wang Zhonglei fall into deep thought.

"You guys stay busy while I leave first. There is another event overseas. We will meet at the launch of "The Wind" later."

After saying hello to Wang Zhonglei, and saying hello to Chen Long, Li Lianjie, and Ning Hao, Chen Fei left the premiere directly.

…

April is already halfway through and May is coming soon.

The second half of the year is going to be a very busy time!

Cannes Film Festival awards, "The Undertaker", "October Siege" premiere, "Kung Fu Panda" promotion, Olympic torch bearers, "Inception"...

Chen Fei's schedule for the second half of the year is already full of filming.

But the problem is, he still has a system task that he has not completed!

[Challenge Mission: The Emergence of the Emergence of the Extreme Eight Events. The challenger needs to go to Victoria Falls and complete a Zodiac rafting in the roaring rapids. The mission level is "SSS"! 】

Since completing the surfing challenge last year, he has not done system tasks for a long time.

You must know that this task still has a set time. Once it expires, you will not be able to receive the double reward.

It happened that there were still a few days of free time in April, so Chen Fei simply thought of finishing the task first, since it wouldn't take long anyway.

And now he has two skills that need to be upgraded urgently, and this task can help him complete the skill upgrade!

The driver had been waiting outside the venue for a long time. After walking out of the back door, Chen Fei got in the car and rushed to the airport.

If there is any primitive extreme sport that can make people feel the charm of unpowered sprinting, "rafting" is definitely one of the best answers.

Especially the Grand Canyon rafting, which is even more exciting!

Chen Fei still remembers clearly that when he watched the movie "The Thief", when the challengers were drifting wildly in the waterfall, he was so excited that he could not control himself!

The scene of fighting against various crises is not only very exciting, but also makes people feel unusually excited!

Speaking of the holy land of rafting sports, we have to mention "Victoria Falls".

Victoria Falls is located in the middle reaches of the Zambezi River in Africa. It is known as the world's three famous waterfalls together with "Iguazu Falls" in South America and "Niagara Falls" in North America.

It is a very typical large waterfall group, with a total of seven waterfalls up to 100 meters in the entire basin.

These waterfalls are arranged on the cliffs from west to east. Whether it is width, drop, or water volume, they are the best in the world.

The widest part of the waterfall is 1,700 meters, and the canyon it pours into is a rare natural moat in the world!

Opposite the cliff where the water falls is another cliff, which is only 75 meters apart. There is an extremely narrow canyon in the middle, where the water forms a huge vortex called "boiling pot"!

The entire Victoria Falls is divided into "East Falls", "Rainbow Falls", "Devil's Falls", "Horseshoe Falls", "Main Falls"...

When the Zambezi River is full of water, 7,500 cubic meters of water per second will flow into the "Victoria King Falls" and flow into the basalt strait.

The terrifying water volume and flow rate directly lead to the splashes that can be seen 40 kilometers away, and the rainbow formed by the mist can be clearly seen 20 kilometers away!

So far, many people have relied on the abundant water resources of Victoria Falls to survive here.

On the east side of the first canyon of the waterfall, there is a canyon running north-south and about 60 meters wide.

When the Zambezi River flows out of the canyon, the water foam will rise at least 300 meters, forming the wonder of the "knife point corner".

In 1969, the locals built a 2-meter-wide small iron bridge here to connect the two sides of the canyon. The iron bridge flies above the rapids and is called the "knife edge bridge".

Many tourists from all over the world will visit here just to see the wonders!

"Boom!!!"

When Chen Fei changed multiple means of transportation and appeared on the "knife edge bridge", he finally understood why this place is called "the holy land of drifters".

When the huge waves came from the front, the huge cliffs under his feet seemed to be shaking wildly. The great power formed by the magic of nature is not only magnificent, but also extremely shocking!

Flory Gallenberger, the Red Bull investor who belongs to Chen Fei alone, arrived at Victoria Falls early with the Red Bull staff.

Looking at the majestic pass in front of him and the thundering water mist, Flory was amazed and worried.

"Fei? I think I need to ask you again, are you sure you want to do the rafting challenge in such a terrifying scene?"

"Yes!"

Fade Chen nodded heavily, his eyes were not afraid at all, but full of madness, "Don't you think the scene in front of you is worth conquering?

If you can complete rafting in such a magnificent waterfall spectacle, this is definitely the greatest challenge in life, even if you have to pay the price of your life for it, it is worth it!"

Flory was speechless for a while.

Since Fei Chen joined Red Bull, his three views have been refreshed again and again.

The challenges that he thought were certain to die in the past have now been completed repeatedly by Fei Chen, so that he has no idea of ​​persuading him now.

It is his task to work hard with Fei Chen to complete the challenge.

"Let's check the equipment for the challenge first, and then I will let the Red Bull Publicity Department issue an announcement to the public, how about it?"

"Ok, let's go."

Finally, after taking a look at the waterfall that was boiling and roaring like thunder, Fei Chen turned and left the Knife Point Bridge.

Rafting does not require much equipment, as long as the speedboat, direction table, life jacket, paddle and other tools are all equipped.

At the same time, just when Chen Fei was busy checking the equipment, Red Bull's operations department officially announced the news that the new "challenge project" was about to start.

[Red Bull Extreme Sports Global Spokesperson's Latest Challenge: Victoria Falls! Life and Death Rafting! Are you ready to experience the moment of blood rushing? ]

When this news appeared on major portals and social media, it instantly set off an uproar!

Globally, all netizens who saw this news widened their eyes and were full of disbelief.

After a year, Chen Fei actually started the Red Bull Extreme Challenge again!

On major domestic portals, blogs, forums and other platforms, there was originally news about the premiere of "The Forbidden Kingdom", but when the latest challenge of Red Bull Extreme Sports was announced, the wind direction suddenly changed!

Sina.com immediately removed the promotional information about "The Forbidden Kingdom" and reposted the latest challenge project released by Red Bull's operations department.

For a time, netizens who saw this news were completely blown up!

"Wow? Is Director Chen going to commit suicide again?"

"Fuck! I almost forgot that Director Chen is also the global brand spokesperson of Red Bull, and that's an endorsement fee of up to 200 million US dollars!"

"Life is endless, and committing suicide is endless!"

"Hahaha, I was looking forward to the release of Director Chen's new movie, but I didn't expect that he would do such a thing in the middle?"

"Brothers, let's not talk too much, just watch it first!"

There was a constant uproar on the domestic Internet, and the same was true abroad.

Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other platforms directly set off a wave of enthusiasm.

In order to compete for traffic, many portals and video websites issued notices at the first time, stating that they would broadcast the entire process.

Under Chen Fei's special arrangement, Hulu naturally obtained the corresponding broadcast rights.

Many people in China called Chen Fei, most of them were persuading him not to be stupid, or telling him to return safely.

After receiving several calls, Chen Fei was annoyed by them and simply turned off his phone.

It is better to avoid those calls and text messages that affect your mood.

On the 18th, when "The Forbidden Kingdom" was officially released in North American theaters, the staff of the domestic sports channel brought equipment to Victoria Falls.

Chen Fei met his old friend "Li Hongwei".

Since he officially started the challenge mission abroad, the two have met almost every time.

"Director Chen, long time no see."

"Haha, it's really been a long time no see. What are you busy with recently?"

"The Olympics will start in a few months. The bureau arranged for me to shoot there. If you hadn't suddenly sent back the news, I might have to be busy until the end of the Olympics."

"Oh? So I created the conditions for you to take a vacation?"

"Haha, that's right, I will treat you to a meal if there is a chance. This kind of vacation opportunity is hard to come by!"

The two were chatting, and on the other side, Flory led a local guide over.

The challenge will officially start tomorrow, and today Chen Fei will take a speedboat to conduct a comprehensive survey of the Zambezi River.

The purpose of doing this is to choose the starting point of the rafting.

After all, this is not an artificial rafting site, and there are no strictly defined starting and ending points. These all require him to make his own decisions.

The choice of the starting point is also crucial to the entire challenge process!

At the beginning of the rafting, a period of gentle acceleration is required to familiarize yourself with the flow rate and direction of the water flow, and you cannot rush directly into the rapids.

This is like the piston-poking process when assembling an engine. You must apply enough lubricating oil to the piston in advance to ensure that there is no jamming in the middle.

If you force it in without applying lubricating oil, neither the driver nor the engine will have enough fun.

After communicating with the guide, a group of people drove the speedboat in the river.

The scenery along the coast is very beautiful. Although it is located in Africa, it is not as poor as imagined. The land is not dry, the grass and trees are very lush, and the local residents live a very happy and sufficient life.

Riding on a speedboat, Chen Fei held a notebook and measuring instruments in his hands, constantly recording some data.

Like other rivers, the Zambia River also originates from the mountains, but due to the terrain, the river flow here is very turbulent, and there are few gentle areas.

After an hour of observation and calculation, Chen Fei finally selected the starting point of this challenge.

The location he chose was on a shallow beach five kilometers away from the waterfall. The slope here was just enough for the speedboat to accelerate, and it also allowed him to quickly adapt to the flow rate and impact of the water.

After the selection of the starting point, the next thing to deal with is the various crises encountered on the way!

Reefs, undercurrents, waterfalls, whirlpools... these are the top priorities!

"Go to bed early tonight and recharge your energy."

Chen Fei muttered while logging into the foreign IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes websites.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" has completed a day of release in North America. I believe that movie fans have now started to score. He wants to see how much the final result deviates from his prediction?

IMDB: 6.5 points/10 points

Rotten Tomatoes: 6/10, 63% freshness!

"Sure enough, this is a film that pleases foreigners."

Chen Fei instantly verified his previous conjecture.

From a simple logic analysis, this is actually a story about an ordinary young man from the bottom of the American mainland who suddenly has various adventures, worships a famous teacher, learns martial arts, obtains a magic weapon, picks up a beautiful Chinese girl, and then saves the world.

This kind of story will certainly be liked by foreigners.

And Huayi's goal is naturally achieved!

By weakening the Eastern culture in the film, the purpose of balancing the differences between Eastern and Western cultures in the film is achieved, and then combined with the popularity and box office appeal of Chen Long and Li Lianjie among Western movie fans, such a film was finally produced.

Wang Zhonglei's goal is to successfully list the company, and this movie will definitely satisfy foreign capital, and at the same time complete his basic framework before listing.

But he ignored... or deliberately ignored the feelings of domestic fans.

"The domestic box office is expected to be 300 million yuan? Just dream."

Chen Fei curled his lips, he was ready to watch netizens angrily criticize this movie.

But then again, Huayi's goal has been achieved. At least it shouldn't be able to lose too much money and can barely break even.

Film critics in the United States are very considerate. Looking around, the website is full of positive reviews!

"The pairing of Chen Long and Li Lien is a highlight. This is obviously a big-budget martial arts drama, comparable to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Heroes. The story is great."

"I love this story. An ordinary young American works hard to save the world. It's so cool!"

"It's a bit like "The Wizard of Oz", but the story is much better than the former. The fighting scenes are very enjoyable to watch. Michael Angarano is so lucky that he actually filmed a kissing scene with a Chinese actress, haha. When he comes back, I Be sure to ask him what it feels like."

"..."

After briefly looking at the reviews of this film by film critics on the Internet, Chen Fei sneered, closed the computer and lay down on the bed.

He couldn't watch it anymore, otherwise he was worried that he would smash the computer!

The comments of these film critics may seem normal, but they contain a lot of implicit discrimination and ridicule, which makes people feel angry!

Tomorrow is when the challenge officially begins. He must have a good rest and be in a full mental state to face this crisis-ridden "Emergence of Power" mission!

As for those voices full of ridicule and discrimination on the Internet...

The days are still long, we can settle this account slowly in the future!

He has kept the names of those film critics who are full of gossips in his mind and will never forget them!
