Chapter 335 Olympic Opening Ceremony, Phoenix Nirvana! New Mission? New Chapter? (Ask for Monthly Votes)

40.5 million, 35 million, 38.76 million!

In three consecutive days, "Kung Fu Panda" raked in 114 million yuan in the mainland, setting off a crazy wave of movie watching.

Especially among the group of teenagers, this "panda" who knows kung fu has become their favorite cartoon character.

With the promotion of caring people, the movie "Kung Fu Panda" has even become the "masterpiece" of the Olympics, which has also provided great support for the reverse growth of the box office.

At the same time, North America also achieved an excellent result of 89.19 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend with 32.58 million, 30.07 million, and 26.54 million!

This data far exceeded Chen Fei's expectations, and even 20 million US dollars higher than "Robot Wall-E"!

Natasha called and said excitedly: "Fei, the global box office of The Twilight Saga: New Moon has exceeded 700 million US dollars. According to the forecast, the North American box office should eventually settle at around 350 million US dollars. We have once again created the miracle of low-cost movies!

The panda who knows kung fu is also very good. According to the forecast of relevant institutions, the global box office will exceed 500 million!"

"Okay."

In the Bird's Nest, Chen Fei put down the work at hand and specifically reminded: "The distribution in South Korea, Russia, Canada and other places can also be gradually followed up.

Also, if you have enough energy, you can try to set up branches in other countries next, which is also conducive to publicity and promotion, and can also promote the expansion of distribution channels."

Branch?

Natasha thought for a while, and her heart was moved.

This is a good plan!

"Okay, I will take the time to do market research. If the plan is feasible, I can try to start from the surrounding areas first."

"Well, that's it for now. You go ahead and remember to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympics on August 8."

After saying hello, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

Huo Qigang inspired him to set up a branch company. That love-minded man is really good at running a company. With just one movie, "The Siege of October", he revitalized the already aging Golden Harvest!

Unlike Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios, Golden Harvest's business is more about film distribution channels, and its main revenue is also the distribution share of films.

In order to obtain more distribution channels, Huo Qigang thought of a very "awesome" plan.

He first established branches in Southeast Asian countries, and after gaining a foothold, he began to implement the "fission plan", gradually eroding the local film promotion business, and building and acquiring theaters.

Relying on a steady flow of funds, this fission plan was implemented by him.

Cinemas in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan Province and other places are almost completely bought by him, leaving only a few old film companies struggling to support.

Perhaps it won't be long before the film promotion in Southeast Asian countries will be firmly controlled by Golden Harvest!

Walt Disney Studios can also use this method.

‘Fission, cannibalization, and pocketing’, after going through this set of processes, it won’t take long for Walt Disney Pictures to have global distribution channels.

Of course, the premise of all development is a steady flow of funds.

And the interesting thing is that although Chen Fei does not have much talent in running a company, as the “Chief Content Officer”, he can give the most powerful support to Walt Disney Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Golden Harvest, and Feiyue Pictures in terms of film and television production!

Film and television production, publicity, capital recovery, company expansion/continued production...

Cycle after cycle, a perfect closed loop is formed!

Punching Walt Disney, stepping on 20th Century Fox, kicking Time Warner, backhanding Paramount, knocking Columbia, and throwing Universal Pictures over the shoulder... These are Chen Fei’s future goals.

He believes that with his efforts, these will become real pictures, not just bragging.

Of course, for now, we still have to get the Olympic Games ignition task done, and... the new task that the system has recently refreshed!

[Challenge mission: (climb to the highest point of the Bird's Nest and successfully land by parachute), the difficulty coefficient is 7 stars, and you can get an A-level reward blind box after completing the mission. ]

[The mission is limited to five months. If it is completed within the specified time, there is a certain probability to trigger a double blind box reward! ]

According to Chen Fei's previous idea, he was actually planning to wait until the end of the Olympics, find a more reasonable reason to climb up the Bird's Nest, and finally complete this challenge.

But when the latest ignition plan was activated, a new idea suddenly burst out in his mind.

Since you have to fly to the top of the Bird's Nest with a wire in the early stage, why can't you land by parachute?

But when he told Zhang Yimou about his idea, Lao Mouzi was speechless, "Why do you have so many strange ideas?"

"I'll take it as you are praising me." Chen Fei smiled happily, with a thick skin.

"I just think that using wires to hoist up and then lower them is too unoriginal and doesn't show the style of our great country at all!"

Zhang Yimou, "So?"

"When the torch is lit, there is a gap at the scene. Taking advantage of this gap, I can fly directly from the Bird's Nest, and the moment I land, I can fold my parachute and disappear at the entrance of the passage. This is much more interesting than the previous plan."

After thinking carefully about what Chen Fei said, Zhang Yimou nodded in approval.

Indeed, this landing method is much more attractive than the previous method of descending by hanging wires.

But then again, "Are you so confident? What if you fail accidentally? Wouldn't you be embarrassed in front of the national audience?"

"Of course I am fully confident, otherwise I would not have proposed this landing method."

Chen Fei was quite confident.

The high-altitude skydiving skill is now the highest level 5. If you can't even do a fixed-point skydiving, what's the point?

Seeing that he looked very serious, Zhang Yimou immediately became interested, "Then try it?"

"Okay, I'll have someone send a parachute over right away."

With that, Chen Fei called Red Bull directly.

After hearing his request, the other side immediately said that there was no problem and promised to send the parachute to him in the shortest time.

People from the three top Hollywood special effects companies, Digital Domain, Industrial Light & Magic, and Weta Digital, arrived in the capital on the 4th.

After entering the Bird's Nest, the group first signed a confidentiality agreement, and then began to get busy.

Sandra Nettbeck personally led the team to build equipment and make models, and also popularized a lot of knowledge to Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou.

"In fact, the update and iteration of holographic projection technology has gone through a long period of time. The big update can be traced back to 2001, when the holographic film technology was officially launched, and the holographic projection medium that can achieve relatively clear effects and low cost also officially appeared in the public's field of vision.

Then, holographic projection ushered in a wave of application, and holographic film began to be widely used in various fields, such as the 3D movies we are familiar with.

Then, holographic projection technology continued to develop and break through, and more new technologies and new products emerged.

The year before last, the Danish company ViZo developed 360-degree phantom imaging technology, and holographic projection technology also entered a mature stage at this time.

ViZo boldly used holographic film to build an inverted pyramid-shaped triangular funnel geometric model, which was projected by four projectors. The video image is projected, and after a series of optical diffractions in the funnel, it merges into a holographic image, presenting the effect of a real object floating in the air.

Last year, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a technology called "air holographic projection", which can project interactive images on the "wall" formed by airflow, projecting images on water vapor, similar to the principle of mirage.

In the first half of this year, the University of Arizona successfully created an updateable 3D holographic display, which is one of the first 3D holographic displays in the world, and we are now using this holographic display on the Bird's Nest. "

Listening to his explanation, Zhang Yimou, Chen Fei and the staff of the Olympic Committee all turned their eyes to the "white display" piled up on the side.

A supervisor of the Olympic Committee was full of confusion, "Is this a 3D holographic display? Why does it look like glass?"

Sandra smiled slightly, and did not explain more, but arranged for several people in the team to simply demonstrate the 3D holographic projection technology.

Several people immediately got busy and placed several display screens in order.

At the same time, several special effects artists from Industrial Light & Magic quickly began to build models on the computer and transfer data.

A few minutes later, a very magical picture suddenly appeared in front of everyone on the scene.

In the middle of the transparent display screens, a string of special numbers and symbols first appeared out of thin air.

As the numbers continued to "arrange and combine", a golden carp slowly took shape, as if the Creator was creating life out of thin air, quite magical!

Under the control of the technicians, the carp was so vivid that it swam back and forth in the air, as if it was swimming in the ocean!

"Fuck? So cool?"

For a while, there were bursts of exclamations at the scene, and the leaders of the Olympic Committee were stunned and shocked!

They suddenly had a clear understanding of Chen Fei's previous plan.

What would it be like if a flying and circling fire phoenix suddenly appeared in the sky at the last moment of the ignition ceremony?

At this moment, looking at the carp swimming in the air, they seemed to have seen the scene of the audience being stunned!

Zhang Yimou was very surprised, "Is this holographic projection technology?"

"Yes! This is holographic projection!"

Chen Fei nodded, his eyes flashing.

Others saw the future fire phoenix soaring over the Bird's Nest, but he saw the terrifying box office results that continued to soar after the release of "Inception"!

The parachute was soon delivered, and the rehearsal continued. The "fixed-point parachuting" that had been carried out countless times once again ushered in bursts of exclamations from the scene!

Seeing Chen Fei successfully landing at the exit again and again, Zhang Yimou finally approved his plan and agreed to let him perform low-altitude parachuting at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

As for the other leaders of the Olympic Committee, they did not have any objections to this matter.

The big man above has already spoken, and the next ignition link will be in charge of Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou, and no one else is allowed to interfere!

On the 8th, China Film Group announced early in the morning that the total domestic box office of "Kung Fu Panda" officially exceeded 200 million yuan.

As an imported film, this achievement is enough to stand out from the crowd!

At the same time, the capital has officially ushered in its most lively moment.

Almost all reporters from the state media went to the Bird's Nest, while reporters from entertainment newspapers gathered at the airport and began to guard the celebrities who came to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The headlines on the portal are constantly changing and updated every moment. Almost all of them are big-name stars, directors, and producers at home and abroad.

A large number of fans arrived as scheduled, following the reporters and watching celebrities appear from the exit.

In order to prevent congestion, the airport specially opened a professional channel for these public figures, as if they were participating in an awards ceremony.

"What the hell? Kobe! It's Kobe!"

"Who is the one next to King Liu Tianwang? Is she Tianwang's sister-in-law? She looks so gentle, and not as unbearable as the outside world says?"

"Oh! My God! Look! It's Iron Man and the others!"

"Little Plum? Hahaha! I didn't expect to see Leonardo!"

"What the fuck? Even the leading actress of "Twilight" is here. I really like her so much. She is so beautiful."

"..."

The Capital Airport side is very lively, but the Bird's Nest side is not much worse than that side.

"Lao Su? Have you received Natasha and Bruce? Quickly put them into the hotel first, stop them from running around, give them all the tickets, be sure to keep them..."

While Chen Fei was on the phone, he was still communicating with the special effects team to ensure that there was no discrepancy between the Fire Phoenix's route and the time of Nirvana.

He was so busy today that his feet never touched the ground!

In addition to participating in the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You", he also has to ensure that the itineraries of the guests he invites are correct, and at the same time, he has to check the integrity of wires, parachutes, and 3D holographic projection equipment...

A lot of work is driving him crazy!

"Run slower and be careful not to fall."

Chen Long's figure suddenly came from the side and behind.

His reputation was quite high today. Under the official invitation, he specially came to the Olympic Sports Center to hold an album launch conference.

He is also the only Chinese male artist in the world to be officially invited to release an Olympic album, and his influence in the circle is unparalleled.

"Don't worry, you can't fall."

Chen Fei responded from a distance, and left the scene in a hurry, as if flying.

He had to go and talk to the teachers who were hanging Wia, and he would have to raise himself higher when the time came, otherwise the system might decide that the challenge had failed.

…

In the afternoon, spectators with invitation letters gathered outside the Bird's Nest, waiting for the moment to enter.

Girls Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan stood together, forming a beautiful scenery and attracting the attention of many reporters!

"Sissi, look, those are Zhang Ziyi and her fiancé. Their styles don't seem to match."

"Hey? Why do you have no control over your mouth and can you say anything?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang, but still looked in the direction of her finger.

During her time filming in Hollywood, she heard a lot about this international chapter's deeds, which simply refreshed her outlook and limits!

Jing Tian also came over with the idea of ​​eating melon, "Who is the male singer next to Zhang Ziyi?"

"Wang Feng!"

Liu Yifei's words were concise and to the point. When she was filming "Shoplifters" before, she heard many people on the crew gossiping. Wang Feng seemed to like Zhang Ziyi, but others didn't like him.

It's not a good person to take advantage of someone's engaged fiancée!

Just as she was thinking to herself, she heard Yang Mi and Jing Tian coming together to chat.

"Senior sister, is your movie "Sword of Sword III" almost finished?"

"Come on, it will be done by the end of this month." Yang Mi replied with a smile, and then asked: "What about you? When is "The Legend of Sun Tzu" expected to be completed?"

Yang Mi is truly envious of this school girl who graduated in 2007.

As soon as she debuted, she was supported by financial sponsors, who released records, albums, movies, and TV series. The resources were so rich that she couldn't even imagine it!

She originally thought Liu Yifei was lucky enough, but now it seems that this school girl is even luckier!

"I'm afraid the company Starlight is opened just for her..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Jing Tian replied with a smile: "I don't know either. Teachers Zhang Fengyi, You Yong, and Li Zixiong have very tight schedules, and it is difficult to fix the shooting time..."

Jing Tian said carelessly, completely unaware of the uncontrollable envy in Yang Mi's eyes.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei next to her showed a faint smile. After all, she is no longer in the TV industry. With the help of her reputation as a "flying girl", she has begun to launch a fierce attack on Hollywood!

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Chen Fei's strong support.

She is a grateful person, so she has decided that unless Chen Fei takes the initiative to drive her away, she will never leave on his own initiative!

~

Tonight's Bird's Nest gathered a full 100,000 spectators.

Walking into the venue, the noisy atmosphere instantly ignited the excitement of the Olympic Games.

Watching Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​and Shu Chang walk to the core position in the front row, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi, who were left in the back row, were full of envy.

"It's great to have someone to support you!" Tang Yan said meaningfully.

The two people next to her didn't respond to her words, but just thought silently.

Yang Mi secretly made up her mind, "I must work hard, I must succeed, I must become capital, and if there is a next time, I must sit in the core position in the front row!"

The entrance link alone lasted for an hour and a half.

The music world, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Province, Europe and the United States, Southeast Asia... a steady stream of people poured into the Bird's Nest.

~

After everything was ready, the opening ceremony performance finally began.

In the front row, Natasha looked around curiously, with a puzzled look on her face, "Why didn't I see Fei? Where did he go?"

Su Guohai brought his wife and children to accompany these friends who came from abroad.

He smiled and said, "Director Chen has been selected as one of the Olympic torchbearers. You will see him on the stage later."

Olympic torchbearer?

Bruce shouted excitedly, "Oh my god! Can I light the torch with the torch? That's so cool!"

The opening design of the Olympic Games, which had been kept secret for months, finally officially met with audiences around the world.

In the "Ceremony" segment, 2008 people beat drums!

In the "Fireworks" segment, 29 footprints appeared at the same time!

In the "Entrance" segment, Yao Min and Xiao Lin Hao!

Shock, touching, inheritance...all kinds of elements were displayed one by one at the Bird's Nest venue.

Until the lighting of the main torch began, the scene suddenly broke out into warm cheers!

Xu Haifeng, Li Xiaoshuang, Li Ning, Zhan Xugang, Sun Jinfang...

When the last torch was lit in Chen Fei's hand, a voice introducing him suddenly sounded in the venue:

"The last torch is taken by Chen Fei, the champion of the Ironman World Championships, a famous Chinese athlete, director, actor, and screenwriter. Let us witness the wonderful moment when the main torch is lit!"

The blazing fire is burning!

Chen Fei held the torch high, soared into the air under the attention of the crowd, and walked along the Bird's Nest venue.

Behind him, a painting of ink and wash slowly unfolded, and the cultural heritage of 5,000 years really began to bloom at this moment, symbolizing that a beautiful future will also officially come!

"Boom!"

When the main torch was lit, warm cheers suddenly rang out at the scene!

Countless people were filled with tears and screamed wildly, wishing that this moment worth remembering forever would be paused!

However, just when everyone thought that this was the climax of the night, the real excitement had just arrived.

When the blazing fire rose into the sky, suddenly, a golden light shot up into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky and covering all the stars!

In the shocked eyes of everyone, a phoenix bathed in fire actually rose from the huge main torch!

In an instant, the sky was completely dyed red by the fire!

The phoenix vibrated its broad wings, and its fiery red feathers shone with golden brilliance, like the sun falling into the mortal world, and slowly began to circle over the bird's nest.

"Phoenix" has been a symbol of auspiciousness and rebirth since ancient times. In ancient legends, it will burn itself and be reborn every five hundred years, and the process is the phoenix bathing in fire.

And this moment of "rebirth from the fire" is the most splendid moment of the phoenix, and it is also the moment when its vitality is the most vigorous!

"Clang clang!"

The high-pitched and passionate cry resounded through the sky!

It was a declaration, a declaration to show its endless vitality to the world!

This scene not only represents a praise for life, but also an ode to the spirit of perseverance and never giving up.

The phoenix was bathed in fire and soared into the sky. Every flap of its wings was full of strength and hope, as if telling the world: "Even if we face great difficulties and challenges, as long as we have faith and determination, our great China can usher in the rebirth and glory of life!"

At this moment, the scene was silent.

Countless people looked up at this shocking scene, stunned and speechless, as if their hearts were pulled by an invisible force, causing their heartbeats to accelerate and blood to rush through their veins, as if they were about to burst out of their bodies!

Many people tried to express this feeling in words, but at this moment they found that no language could describe this strong shock, and they could only feel, experience, and be excited silently...

After circling the field, the phoenix returned to the top of the main torch and disappeared into the raging fire again.

Finally, someone slowly came back to his senses.

Shu Chang rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief, "Was that a phoenix just now?"

"Well... it seems so?" Jing Tian next to him was also a little unsure, she almost thought she was dazzled!

Liu Yifei was also surprised. She never thought that she could see such a wonderful scene at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

At this time, Shu Chang's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Why does the phoenix call 'clang clang'?"

Somehow, she subconsciously said: "Phoenixes fly together, and they sing in harmony."

However, at this moment, there was another exclamation at the scene, "Look, someone is flying!"

In an instant, many people cast their eyes over the Bird's Nest, and saw a red umbrella slowly unfolding and landing towards the center of the venue.

Above the parachute, a five-star red flag fluttered in the wind and slowly descended in full view of the crowd, forming a beautiful effect that complemented the ink painting.

"Oh! It's Fei! He's the one controlling the parachute! He summoned the phoenix!"

Bruce screamed with extreme excitement, unable to suppress his excitement and shock. At this moment, he even regarded Chen Fei as a god-like figure!

Beside him, Natasha, Amanda Seyfried, Natalie Dormer, and Stuart all opened their mouths wide, their faces full of speechless shock!

"Oppa is so awesome!"

Lin Yuer and Li Zhien were also mixed in the crowd at this time, watching Chen Fei descend from the Bird's Nest until he landed smoothly. The two girls hugged each other and screamed excitedly.

This scene is simply in line with the image of "the world's hero" in their hearts!

As the ignition link passed, there were more exciting programs waiting for the 100,000 audiences on the scene.

"Characters", "Opera", "Silk Road", "Ritual Music"... The cultural heritage of China for five thousand years was presented one by one tonight.

Chen Fei returned to the audience with honor.

Han Sanping looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you done?"

"Yes, everything is done. Fortunately, there are no mistakes."

At this time, all his tasks were completed, and the pressure and burden in his heart finally fell.

"What's the situation with the phoenix?"

Ning Hao excitedly leaned over, his face full of surprise and confusion. The scene of the phoenix soaring just now was deeply imprinted in his mind and lingered for a long time!

"I found several top foreign special effects companies to produce the effect. How is it? Is it very good?"

"This can no longer be described with the simple word 'good'." Han Sanping sighed, "If it can be used in movie production, it will probably trigger a fierce viewing craze!"

Chen Fei smiled slightly, "Mr. Han can look forward to it. Inception will be released next year. This kind of picture will be used. Don't be too surprised when it happens."

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of the people around him lit up, and the expectation was instantly full.

The three and a half hours of the opening ceremony performance finally came to a successful conclusion. With the explosion of fireworks all over the sky, China officially opened a new chapter!
