Chapter 336 "National Master"? Failed to Be Deified! It's Hard to Describe! Let's Start with a 3DIMAX Shock!
The next morning, when Chen Fei got up, he saw a lot of missed calls and text messages on his phone.
Patting Amanda Seyfried's sexy buttocks, he pulled his arm out from under the girl and began to answer the more important calls one by one.
Most people were asking him how the "Phoenix" appeared?
Many people thought it was Zhang Yimou's design before, after all, 90% of the program list last night was decided by him, and this also made Lao Mouzi's reputation reach an unprecedented height!
The title of "National Master" has begun to spread in a small range.
But just after the opening ceremony, the Olympic Committee suddenly announced the designers of all the program lists overnight.
Netizens found out that the phoenix flying out of the main torch and the plan of landing with a parachute on its back were all designed by Chen Fei!
A stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Countless people expressed their opinions on blogs, forums, etc.
"Fuck! I thought the lighting of the Barcelona Olympics opening ceremony was cool enough, but Director Chen did something awesome for us!"
"I'm still wondering, is that phoenix real or fake? How did it fly out of the torch?"
"It must be fake. Didn't you see the program? It also says thanks to three special effects companies, Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, and Click Digital. Obviously, the phoenix is a special effect!"
"But...but shouldn't special effects be in the cinema? Why can they be put in reality?"
"Who knows!"
...
After roughly answering some people's calls, Chen Fei turned over and got out of bed and started to wash up.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics has passed, and his mission is over. Next, he has to fly to India to shoot "Slumdog Millionaire".
Of course, the competition of Olympic athletes has just begun, and then it is time for athletes from all over the world to "fight".
In peacetime, the competition of such sports events is no less important than an unprecedented war!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Fei.
The Sports Bureau did ask for his opinion, and some even suggested that he should also participate in the Olympics, but he found an excuse to refuse.
With his physical fitness, it would be easy for him to win a gold medal in running, weightlifting, swimming, etc., but in order to avoid being used as a guinea pig for research, it is better not to take the initiative to approach.
After washing up, Amanda had already asked the hotel staff to bring two breakfasts.
While drinking the old turtle soup that has the effect of nourishing the kidney and consolidating sperm, Chen Fei checked the hot news on major portals.
The first Olympic gold medal was produced in the women's 10-meter air rifle event. The winner was a Czech female player. The photo was posted on Sina.com. She was very handsome! Very beautiful!
Move the mouse, click Ignore...
Comparatively, Chen Fei wanted to see all kinds of hot news about the entertainment industry.
Lao Mouzi was officially deified, and the title of "National Master" was hung high on the headlines, attracting countless people's worship and admiration.
The opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics broke the netizens' inherent impression of him, and also washed away his failure in the Athens Olympics, proving his strength!
The film and television industry was even more applauded.
A professional organization gave an evaluation: "After this battle, Zhang Yimou's mainland film salary can rise to 20 million!"
That night, Lao Mouzi's net worth skyrocketed several times.
Even though he cried bitterly backstage at the Olympics, saying that he had too many details that he could not handle well, this did not affect the outside world's optimism about him at all.
"20 million?"
Seeing this number, Chen Fei was immediately happy.
Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping have cooperated for so many years, and it is estimated that he has not been able to get such a high salary, right?
I'm afraid it may not even be half!
Sure enough, when he scrolled down, he saw Zhang Weiping's reply to the reporter: "Director's fees are related to personal privacy, I have no comment."
"Puff..."
A mouthful of old turtle soup almost sprayed out. You don't need to guess to know that this guy is definitely fooling Lao Mouzi!
Later, someone on the blog compiled the director's fees of major domestic directors.
At first glance, Chen Fei topped the list with a high director's fee of 50 million RMB!
This data is not made up, but is derived from his Hollywood offer, and it does not include box office revenue.
Below him, Li An and Zhang Yimou are at the same level, followed by Ning Hao, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige.
Although Lao Chen was cheated by the "Mantou", his current director's offer is still quite strong because of the bonus of the Golden Palm.
If his "Mei Lanfang" can win another award and then make a successful commercial masterpiece, it is estimated that his net worth will be able to enter the ranks of Zhang Yimou!
"Dinglingling..."
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.
After swallowing the last mouthful of old turtle soup, he pressed the answer button, "Old Su? What's up?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Guohai reported: "Good news, after a month of release, the domestic box office of Red Cliff 1 has stopped at 322 million, 30 million less than Painted Skin.
However, in terms of overseas box office distribution, Wu Yu's popularity is much higher than Ning Hao, especially for Xiao Ri Zi, which has almost earned back its cost, but its reputation in the mainland has completely collapsed."
Hearing this, Chen Fei subconsciously popped up four words in his head.
Failed to become a god!
Wu Yu's original intention was to use this movie to return to Hollywood, but the sentence "Meng Meng, stand up" directly made this movie a big joke.
Let alone returning to Hollywood, whether he can continue to film in the mainland is another matter.
Chen Fei especially wanted to ask Han Sanping how much money China Film lost on this movie?
But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It is immoral to expose other people's wounds, and he doesn't want to be annoying.
Chen Fei quickly changed the subject, "How is the situation of "Life and Death Line"?"
"The ratings are still rising, and the popularity is also very high. Several actors have recently appeared frequently on various variety shows and gained a lot of popularity. Many TV stations have come to discuss the situation of the second and third broadcasts."
"Okay." Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, another piece of news suddenly flashed through his mind, and he specifically instructed: "Please attend the Golden Eagle Festival at the end of this month for me. I have to fly to India and don't have time to come back."
"Okay."
"What's the situation with "Snow Leopard"? Has it passed the review? There is no need to rush this drama, just put it on August 1st next year, you let Wang Shiliang shoot it carefully for me, there will be many movie scripts waiting for him in the future."
Su Guohai was immediately happy. As long as you are studying directing, who can resist such temptation?
"Haha, OK, I'll tell him. The script has been reviewed. We are currently doing some preliminary preparations. Many people have called to ask about it."
"Let's select someone from Feiyinghuang to see if there are any suitable new actors. This drama is very popular, so it's better to keep the money within the family."
"What about Zhang Yi?"
"Him? Forget it. Let's change someone else. I plan to let Zhang Yi be mainly responsible for art films. I remember there is a new actor named Zhang Ruoyun at Feiyinghuang. You can let him go for an audition."
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Huo right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei fell into deep thought.
"Snow Leopard" is actually a bit like the "anti-Japanese drama", but it's not so exaggerated. This kind of drama doesn't match Zhang Yi's style.
As for the emblem...it's hard to say!
"People should be humble and not too arrogant."
After sighing for a few words, Chen Fei called his assistant again, "Book me a ticket to Shenzhen."
"Okay, boss!"
The other end of the phone was very noisy. Chen Fei vaguely heard a lot of cheers. He guessed that his assistant had gone to watch the Olympics.
"Forget it, you watch the game first. If there is good news, remember to notify me. I will let someone else book the ticket."
"Thank you, boss!"
"You're welcome."
Chen Fei smiled, hung up the phone, and called the company's front desk again.
~
Natasha and Bruce didn't stay in the capital for long. They came here in a hurry and rushed back in a hurry.
"Twilight" and "Kung Fu Panda" are in the release period. They are very busy at work and don't have much time to stay to watch the game or travel.
Natalie Dormer is going to Hollywood to continue filming "Captain America", and the two girls in South Korea also have many activities, so they all left the capital overnight.
Only Amanda Seyfried stayed and helped Chen Fei release the inventory that had been accumulated for a whole month!
He was going to Shenzhen now, and this girl must not follow him, otherwise the media would probably explode.
Chen Fei simply called a female employee from the company and accompanied her to visit Beijing.
"When I fly to India, let's go together."
"Okay." Amanda nodded very obediently with a bright smile.

The moment the plane took off, Chen Fei quickly put on the blindfold and immersed his consciousness in the system interface.
The task was completed last night, but for some indescribable reasons, he had not had time to see the system rewards.
Now there is just time, so you can take the time to see if there are any new things.
[Ding·Congratulations to the host for completing the challenge task (climbing to the highest point of the Bird's Nest and successfully landing by parachute). ]
[This task has a total reputation of 110,367 points. ]
[Due to the extremely high completion rate of this task, the double blind box reward is triggered. 】
[A-level reward blind box × 2 has been issued successfully. 】
[Blind box is opening...]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the reward: Lucky Orange, Roller Skating Mastery (Lv3). 】
"Oh? Another lucky orange?"
Looking at the first reward of the system, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before, when he participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, in order to ensure that everything was safe, he ate the lucky orange with a heavy heart.
Although the orange peel was preserved, he always felt uncomfortable without the orange pulp.
Now, a new lucky orange is here again!
As for the other reward, Chen Fei was a little confused, "What the hell is roller skating mastery? I don't have to shoot "The Chinese Zodiac", what's the use of this skill?"
With doubts, he landed safely at the Shenzhen Airport.
~
What Chen Fei didn't expect was that he saw a group of people from Wanda Pictures just after walking out of the gate.
The leader was Ye Ning!
"Boss Ye?" Chen Fei shouted to the bustling crowd over there.
Ye Ning turned around subconsciously and looked at Chen Fei with a hint of confusion.
Because he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, he didn't recognize who the person who called him was for a while, but he looked familiar.
Chen Fei silently took off his sunglasses and mask.
"Wow! Mr. Chen! I didn't recognize you!"
Ye Ning walked over quickly, stretched out her hand from a distance, and smiled very brightly.
Because Wanda has invested in several movies with Chen Fei, Wanda has made a lot of money in recent years, and its annual financial reports are very impressive. He has also been unanimously praised by shareholders.
To him, Chen Fei is like the "God of Wealth".
And the reason why he came to Shenzhen today was because he received a joint invitation from Chen Fei and Huo Qigang to attend the opening ceremony of Pan Asia Cinema.
In fact, it is not just Wanda, almost all the theater owners in the entire mainland have come here.
As the first comprehensive cinema built by Pan Asia Cinema in Shenzhen, Golden Harvest has invested a lot of energy in "Pan Asia Cinema", and the main theme is "high-end! Grand! Upscale!"
And at today's opening ceremony, Chen Fei will let these cinema owners see what a real cinema is!
He is ready to "appeal to emotions and reason" to fool others to follow his footsteps and prepare for the release of "Inception".
"Mr. Ye, long time no see, I don't think I saw you at the Olympics yesterday?"
"Haha, I just came back from the UK at around 10 o'clock last night. I was too busy and didn't go to the scene."
The UK?
Chen Fei asked curiously: "Where does Wanda have business?"
"That's not the case. It's just that my daughter is studying there. I just happened to have free time, so I went to see her learning environment with my wife..."
While explaining, Ye Ning suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and pulled behind him.
The next second, a fat boy with small eyes and a big nose was pulled to his side by him, "This is the young master of our boss's family. He came here with me today to broaden his horizons."
"Hello, Mr. Chen, nice to meet you." Wang Sicong nodded and greeted him obediently.
Although he and Chen Fei are less than five years apart, the man in front of him is on par with his father, so he dare not act rashly.
Moreover, Old Wang is too good at hiding. He told him not long ago that his family has a little money.
It was difficult for him to accept that he was still a "rich second generation" for a while, so that he was a little timid when facing those celebrities, and he didn't dare to reveal his true personality as a rich second generation.
"Hello."
Looking at the boy in front of him who was only a few years younger than him, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing.
Wang Sicong!
This "rich second generation" is a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
As the name suggests, he is fierce when fighting!
Because of the exposure of his identity, more and more people gathered around.
The group did not stay at the gate for too long, but went straight to the "Pan Asia Cinema" after leaving the airport.
Chen Fei did not take Wanda's car because Huo Qigang sent a driver to pick him up.
He received many calls along the way, and without exception, all of them were from the bosses of major cinema chains.
Many people had arrived at the cinema early and were waiting for Chen Fei's arrival, including Yu Dong from Bona, Han Sanping from China Film, Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film and others.
"Is this the IMAX screen? It's so big!"
Yu Dong held a pair of 3D glasses in his hand, staring at the huge IMAX screen in front of him that was more than 20 meters high and nearly 30 meters wide, with shock on his face!
He knew before coming that Chen Fei invited them here to popularize 3D movies.
But Yu Dong always felt that 3D was just a gimmick. After all, there were not many movies that could use 3D projection equipment seriously, and because of the ticket price, most 3D theaters were losing money.
For example, in the theaters under Bona, there was only one 3D projection hall in each theater, and most of the time they played 2D movies.
He didn't think 3D movies could be popular in the mainland, so although he was shocked by the big show of Pan Asia Cinema, he also had some doubts and ridicule.
With such a high investment, when will the return be made?
"It is indeed big enough." Ren Zhonglun also sighed.
Shanghai also has an IMAX giant screen, but it is only stored in the Science and Technology Museum.
The picture effect is really great, but the cost of this thing is too high. If you want to use the box office to recoup the cost, it is simply impossible!
He really doesn't understand why Chen Fei has to spend so much effort to make this thing?
And according to the information he got, Pan Asia Cinema Line is currently laying 3D projection equipment and IMAX screens uninterruptedly, and every theater under its umbrella is preparing.
Many people are very puzzled by this thankless behavior.
What exactly does Jiahe want to do?
"Wait, the kid will be here soon." Han Sanping was very frugal with words, staring at the big screen in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The waiting time was not particularly painful. From time to time, a cinema chain manager would come into the theater, frequently causing people to greet him.
New Film Association, Shanghai United Cinema, China Film Star Cinema, China Film Digital Cinema, China Film South Shinkansen Cinema, Hengdian Film, Wanda Film...
In just half an hour, the heads of more than 20 cinema chains came to the theater one after another.
Huo Qigang held a basket of 3D glasses in his hand, and he gave one to each person who came. He was very busy.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Fei appeared in the theater.
Because of his grandfather and father, he had a good reputation in Hong Kong, but he was a little stretched when he came to the mainland. After all, he was not very famous in the film and television industry.
At this moment, only Chen Fei could hold this kind of scene. If it was someone else hosting, he would probably be so nervous that he couldn't even speak!
Taking the microphone from Huo Qigang, Chen Fei strode to the front of the stage.
He first looked around the audience, smiled slightly, and put the microphone to his lips, "I am very happy that you can come to the opening ceremony of Pan Asia Cinema. I have to thank you for your strong support here.
Let's make a long story short. I know you are all very curious about why I invited you to watch the movie today.
I will not answer this question for the time being. Next, I would like to ask you to put on your 3D glasses and experience a crazy special effects feast!"
In the audience, everyone was curious, but they also put on 3D glasses according to his request.
"Snap!"
A snap of fingers suddenly spread throughout the theater. The next second, behind Chen Fei, the IMAX screen slowly lit up.
"What you will see next is a part of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2". Because the movie has not been released yet, please put away your filming equipment and respect privacy."
Hearing this, Wang Sicong showed a touch of embarrassment on his face and silently put away the camera.
However, in the next second, the strange phenomenon suddenly changed!
With the help of 3D glasses, he suddenly found that several gorillas had walked out of the screen. They were holding spears, riding tall horses, and launched a fearless charge against the enemy in front!
The moment the spear was thrown, it seemed to penetrate the screen and passed by his eyes.
There were bursts of piercing explosions beside his ears, as if they were echoing like sonic booms!
At this moment, everyone at the scene widened their eyes, their faces were full of disbelief, and their faces turned pale.
The spear was so real that it seemed to fly past in front of people's eyes, making people subconsciously want to dodge!
In the front row of the venue, watching the faces of many theater company bosses behind him constantly changing, Chen Fei's face suddenly filled with a bright smile.
Let me show you a shock from the 3DIMAX screen first, and the subsequent negotiations will be much smoother!
There is a typo. I typed 338 instead of 335 in the title. I am confused... Damn, I am so tired
