Chapter 333 How to Start the Fire? South Korean Grandson! Little Fan Bingbin? (Asking for Monthly Votes)
Chapter 333 How to light a fire? South Korean stick = grandson! Xiao Fan Bingbin? (Ask for monthly ticket)
The arrival of August adds a bit of excitement to the capital.
The Olympics are approaching, and even if the policy of odd and even number restrictions is implemented, there is still a lot of traffic on the road.
On the way to the Bird's Nest, Chen Fei received a call from Kang Honglei, "Director Chen, "Life and Death" has been successful again. The ratings have exploded and the audience response has been very good!"
“What’s the score on Douban?”
"The current score is 8.8, and the number of participants is as high as 10,000!"
Since Douban was launched, the website has become a measuring tool for Chen Fei to judge whether a TV show or movie is good or not.
A large number of people can give the most authentic feedback. After all, ratings cannot lie.
For example, the score of 2.8 for "The Promise" and the score of 3.7 for "Red Cliff Part 1" are definitely not false and represent the most authentic feedback on the movie.
So far, there has not been an operation team that brushes up ratings, so Douban can continue to be used.
"Keep up the good work, the salary of each member of the production team will be doubled next month, and you will announce it in person."
"Haha, Director Chen, let me thank you in advance on behalf of my brothers."
After a brief chat, Chen Fei asked about the filming situation of another movie, "How was the filming of "The Wind"? Didn't anything happen?"
He was really worried about the two brothers from the Wang family and the two sisters from the Li family. These two people were the kind of people who loved teasing, stumbling behind people's backs, and playing tricks.
"Not yet. Director Chen attaches great importance to this film. No one is allowed to interfere. The two presidents rarely come to the set."
"That's good, just keep an eye on it and call me as soon as possible if anything happens."
Chen Fei finally felt relieved. As long as the two Wang brothers didn't cause trouble inside, this spy film would definitely trigger a wave of movie-watching craze in the mainland.
It is not difficult for "The Wind" to have a double harvest of box office awards.
As we approached the Bird's Nest, the traffic became increasingly crowded. It took us ten minutes to walk just a few hundred meters without seeing the end.
The phone rang again, it was a cross-border call.
"The North American box office of "The Twilight Saga 2" officially exceeded US$300 million!"
On the other end of the phone, Natasha was extremely excited. Even though it was already late at night on the American side, she showed no signs of resting.
The figure of $300 million is very critical, because there are less than thirty films that can break through this level, and all of them are films that have left a strong mark on global film history.
Interestingly, "Iron Man" and "War for the Planet of the Apes" are also in this category.
"Okay, the next step is to look at the global box office results."
The second part of Twilight was released in mid-June, so it has been a month and a half. The North American box office should not have increased much.
But North America is not the only global vote bank. The results in other places are also very critical.
However, North America has achieved Chen Fei's goal of breaking 300 million, and this number has also surpassed the results of the original version. This is already a huge victory.
Natasha continued: "Woody Allen has already started preparing the filming plan for the third part. How about we move the release time of the third part to the summer vacation next year?"
"Ok, as long as you like it."
Chen Fei doesn't have much idea about the schedule of "The Twilight Saga 3". This kind of series can actually be released at any time. As long as the response of the first two parts is good enough, the third part will be released no matter when it is released. Fans go and support.
On the other hand, those films competing for awards cannot be so casual. If you have requirements for awards, you must strive for the Lunar New Year slot.
"Slumdog Millionaire" is a film competing for awards, so Chen Fei's goal is to complete filming in September at the latest, and then seamlessly transition to "Inception".

The Bird's Nest has a "sacred" status in the hearts of every Chinese!
Known as "the art of architecture" and "the miracle of engineering", it stands in the center of the Olympic Park. It interprets the concept of "nest" with a unique form, implying warmth and home, and is the perfect embodiment of the harmonious symbiosis of architecture and nature. .
After reliving his life, this was the first time that Chen Fei saw the Bird's Nest with his own eyes!
Zhang Yimou, who came to meet him at the door, introduced him: "The design of the Bird's Nest is inspired by the hollow jade in ancient China. Its appearance is like a bird's nest that breeds life, giving athletes and spectators a warm feeling of home.
The entire building has a unique structure, with staggered steel frames, just like a bird's nest made of branches, giving people a strong visual impact. It is the masterpiece of countless architects! "
Entering the venue, Chen Fei slowly raised his head and looked around.
Under the sunlight, the lines of the bird's nest intersect with light and shadow, making it look extremely majestic and spectacular!
As an iconic building, it not only witnessed the historical moment of the Chinese Olympic Games, but also became a business card for China to show its cultural confidence to the world!
After touring the layout of the Bird's Nest venue, the two came to the conference room and met several leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the torch designer.
"How do I need to rehearse this ignition?"
What impressed Chen Fei the most was the scene of Li Ning lighting the fire, walking in the air with a wire attached, and finally flying to the top of the bird's nest to light the flame.
Zhang Yimou handed over a document bag, "Here are several plans. You can take a brief look at them, but they must be kept confidential."
Chen Fei nodded and opened the file bag, only to see several alternative ignition plans recorded inside.
1. Drilling wood to make fire and satellite laser ignition: The igniting athlete drills "wood" at the ignition site. After the wood is drilled to make fire successfully, it merges with the Olympic flame and symbolically "lights" the laser emitting device, and then the laser emitting device shoots towards the Olympic flame. A laser beam is emitted into space and the signal is transmitted to the "Dongfang Dragon" satellite operating in space. The laser is then reflected from the satellite and fixed on the main torch platform to complete the ignition.
2. "Fuwa" Kongming Lantern Ignition: During the opening ceremony, a huge floating Kongming Lantern was used to replace the main torch stand. The lamp was fixed with an anchor chain and fuel was supplied from there. More than two hundred small sky lanterns were made, which were commissioned by each Olympic committee. Representatives used Chinese brushes dipped in ink to write blessing words on the sky lanterns, and sent representatives to light the main lantern. Representatives of each Olympic committee lit small lanterns at the same time, and then hundreds of lanterns were released into the night sky.
3. "Torch Dance in the Sky": Decorate the sky above the "Bird's Nest" stadium into the image of space, and then design a circular orbit, with Yang Liwei driving a model of the "Shenzhou 8" spacecraft, rotating around the orbit 8 times, and then Fly towards the ignition platform, and when approaching the ignition platform, the aircraft shoots out flames and the blazing torch ignites.
"These plans are pretty good!" Chen Fei praised in surprise.
The ideas put forward by these designers are all great, and each plan has its own inherent meaning. Both the pictures and the effects are very shocking.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou shook his head with regret, "These are all plans that were abandoned for various reasons."
"Huh? Abandoned?"
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment and silently put all the A4 papers into the document bag.
Now that it has been deprecated, there is no point in continuing to read it.
"This is the latest ignition plan." A leader of the Olympic Organizing Committee handed over a new document bag.
Chen Fei reached out to take it, opened it and took a look, and a somewhat familiar feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
Isn't this the plan that Li Ning had for her long-distance run in the Bird's Nest stadium before her rebirth?
After reading the content carefully, Chen Fei turned to look at Lao Mouzi, "So, let's rehearse this next?"
"Yes." Zhang Yimou nodded, and then added: "You are a stuntman, and no one is more familiar with Diao Wei Ya than you, so I feel more comfortable having you as the torchbearer. "
"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!" Chen Fei promised seriously.
~
After coming out of the conference room, Zhang Yimou led Chen Fei to the ignition platform and introduced him to the route of the air walk, as well as some small details of stepping and ignition.
"There are still six days until the Olympics start. Our time is very tight, so there is not much time left for you to rehearse. You have to understand."
"I got it."
Chen Fei nodded seriously. This ignition step may be difficult for others, but it shouldn't be too easy for him.
Diao Wei Ya is a common occurrence for him, so he just treats this job as filming.
"Then get ready. Let's have the first rehearsal first. This time it's mainly to familiarize you with the route..."
As Lao Mouzi spoke, he called the staff over and ordered them to put on Chen Fei's Wei Ya equipment.
But at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly discovered that as the rehearsal was about to begin, there were suddenly a lot of security personnel in the venue!
Looking at the security personnel blocking the entrance to the venue on three floors, he couldn't help but be curious, "Are the guards so tight? There are so many security guards?"
Perhaps hearing his mutterings, a Wia staff member said angrily: "Director Chen, you may not know that a rehearsal we had some time ago was secretly photographed by a reporter from South Korea's SBS TV station. .
Those people were so disgusting that they even released a two-minute and 9-second video, which included the opening ceremony performance, entrance ceremony, main torch lighting and other relevant details, and also introduced and commented on the video.
Just because of this video, many of the programs we had been rehearsing for several years were canceled! "
At this time, Zhang Yimou walked over from the other side of the venue.
After hearing the staff member's indignation, he sighed helplessly, "Actually, the original idea for the lighting ceremony of the Olympic Games opening ceremony was that a phoenix would fly from a distance with the holy flame in its mouth and light the main torch. After all, There is nothing more suitable for the Bird's Nest Stadium than the idea of "Phoenix Returning to the Nest", but it is a pity that it was exposed by those people."
SBS TV station?
"Did they apologize?"
"No!" Another Wia staff member said angrily: "Not only did they not apologize, but they kept sending people over in an attempt to sneak into the Bird's Nest and film more inside scenes of the opening ceremony."
Chen Fei's eyes were slightly cold, these guys are really mean!
"Okay, let me handle this matter. Don't you want to apologize? I want to see how many heads they have."
"ah?"
Zhang Yimou and the two staff members were stunned when they heard what he said, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"Do you still know anyone in South Korea?"
"have."
Chen Fei didn't say much. CJ and ShowBox certainly couldn't help. They were on the same level as SBS TV station, and they had the kind of relationship where no one could do anything to the other.
And the reason why those gangsters are able to do bad things everywhere in Asia relies on the "beautiful father" behind them.
The relationship is very interesting at this point. The "beautiful father" in Bangzi's mouth, most of them have to call Chen Fei "father" when they meet him!
That is to say, the Koreans have to call him "Grandpa".
So should the grandson listen to what the grandfather says?
Chen Fei believes that they will make the most correct choice. Anyway, they are the same as Xiao Rizi, and they like to hold press conferences to apologize to the public whenever there is something wrong.
…
The rehearsal lasted until 5:30 in the afternoon. Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou left the Bird's Nest together and rushed to the CPPCC auditorium.
The movie "Kung Fu Panda" caused a great sensation and response abroad. Many foreign media even publicly stated that although this is a Hollywood movie, the Chinese elements used in it show the uniqueness of Chinese culture to the fullest!
Many people even regard it as a promotional film for the 2008 Olympic Games in China!
As the saying goes, flowers bloom outside the wall and the fragrance is fragrant inside the wall. The sensation of foreign media also caused an uproar in the mainland film and television industry.
Many promotional clips have been posted on major platforms in the mainland early, which has aroused the curiosity and attention of many people. Now, as the momentum of Hollywood continues to grow, mainland movie fans have also flocked to the cinema to watch this Hollywood animated film with Chinese characteristics.
The Film Bureau has paid great attention to this animated film, and a certain leader has personally set the tone, believing that this is an excellent animated film that can be promoted.
So, with the coordination of many parties, there was a movie meeting tonight.
The people of the Chen family and the Hong family flew directly from Hong Kong to the capital to participate in tonight's event.
They played an indelible and important role in the filming of the movie. Since a meeting is to be held, it is naturally indispensable.
~
Many people have gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the CPPCC auditorium early, and the media and fans gathered here, waiting for the arrival of various stars.
In front of the signature wall, Lan Yingying and Cai Wenjing held trays in their hands with signature pens for signing.
Because the event has not yet started, the two girls chatted quietly while waiting for the guests to arrive.
"Are you from the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, Class of 2008?"
After finding out the identity of the girl next to her, Cai Wenjing covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yes," Lan Yingying nodded gently and smiled, "We are from the same class, but you are from the Beijing Film Academy, Class of 2008, and I am from the Central Academy of Drama, Class of 2008. After the event is over, we can leave a contact number so that it will be convenient for us to visit each other in the future."
"Haha, OK! OK!"
Cai Wenjing nodded hurriedly, and she still understood the principle of more friends and more paths.
What's more, this job tonight is not easy to come by. Since the other party can stand here like herself, it is obvious that she has a good background.
"I heard that many stars and directors will come tonight. If I can get to know them and maybe be remembered by them, it would be great!"
The most important thing in the entertainment industry is connections, which is why the two of them came to be etiquette ladies.
If they are lucky enough to be noticed by a certain director, "rising to prominence" in the future will no longer be a dream!
"I hope so..."
Lan Yingying also looked expectant. She wanted to meet Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou the most. It would be great if she could be a "Fei Girl" or "Mou Girl"!
~
The meeting officially started at seven o'clock. Various stars, artists, directors, producers, and film and television agency bosses stepped onto the red carpet.
Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying were immediately busy. They needed to keep smiling throughout the whole process and deliver the autograph pen to each "big shot".
Feng Xiaogang, Chen Guofu, Ning Hao, Wang Quanan, Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Wang Zhiwen, Ge You, Shu Qi...
One after another, the top directors and artists in the circle walked onto the red carpet, which caused screams and made Cai Wenjing and Lan Yingying feel overwhelmed.
When Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, Wang Luoxun and other actresses who had a good relationship with Chen Fei walked onto the red carpet, they listened to the enthusiastic cheers on both sides of the red carpet, and their eyes showed undisguised envy.
When will they be able to enjoy such a highlight moment?
Just thinking about it, they heard even more piercing cheers and screams echoing in the scene!
"Who's coming?"
The two subconsciously raised their heads and saw Chen Fei, Zhang Yimou, Chen Long, Hong Jingbao and all the martial arts instructors of the Chen and Hong classes stepping onto the red carpet at the starting point of the red carpet.
"Director Chen is so handsome!"
The cheers on both sides of the red carpet were deafening, and Chen Long was quite jealous.
"When I was young, whenever I walked on the red carpet, I was always the focus of the crowd. Alas, now I'm old, and my charm has declined a lot."
Hong Jingbao next to him curled his lips and sneered: "Don't toss it, you're already a bunch of bones, be careful that you can't get up from the bed one day."
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Fei couldn't hold it anymore, he suddenly thought of Yao Yantong and Zhang Lanxin, the two actresses "selected" by Chen Long.
A group of people came to the autograph wall in a mighty manner.
"Director Chen, please sign."
A pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Chen Fei's ears. He turned his head subconsciously and was stunned when he saw the face of the etiquette lady.
"Fan Bing..."
No? Not Fan Bingbin!
After staring at the girl carefully for a few seconds, Chen Fei finally realized that the face in front of him was indeed quite similar to Fan Bingbin, but the figure was far different.
"Thank you."
Taking the signature pen, Chen Fei signed his name and then walked into the venue with others.
After the finale, the red carpet ceremony was declared over.
Lan Yingying looked at Cai Wenjing with envy, "Director Chen stared at you for a long time just now. I think he must remember you. Besides, you are both from Beijing Film Academy. Who knows, you may have the opportunity to be selected by him to act in a movie in the future."
"No way, he may have recognized the wrong person."
Cai Wenjing smiled modestly, but she had some thoughts in her heart.
She clearly heard Chen Fei calling out Fan Bingbin's name just now, and she did look a bit like the famous actress Fan Bingbin, so it was normal to recognize the wrong person.
But just this name made her heart move.
"Why don't I learn from Fan Bingbin in the future and follow the same sexy route? Maybe I will gain a lot."
Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited!
