Chapter 605 A "Bo Le" Has Been Found! Hu Ge Terminates the Contract, Tangren's Attitude!

On the 15th, "Drug War" was officially released.

At the same time, the box office results of "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel" released on March 29 and "The Loyal Generals of the Yang Family" released on April 4 were summarized by the media.

The former had a box office of 110 million in the first week, and was called "Three Movie Kings in One Play", which is a rare work with good script, conception, creativity and performance.

However, there are still very professional film critics in the circle who commented:

"The characters in the movie are not clear. Although it involves many people including patriots represented by the chef, the actor, the scoundrel and the chef's silly wife, the Japanese army and its biological experts, and the customer squad who came to make trouble, the story telling, background explanation and character relationships are really confusing. In addition, the film has to show the story structure of "play within play", which makes the narrative of the film even more confusing..."

Bad reviews are an indispensable part of a movie, but it does not affect its box office performance.

In the face of some professionals' harsh comments, director Guan Hu said: "Movies are made for the audience. People who like it will praise it, and those who don't like it will criticize it. This is normal.

What's more, this is not a well-balanced play. It has a relatively unique temperament and a strong taste. It will definitely attract some people to like it and some people to dislike it. This is all acceptable to us..."

Compared with "The Chef, the Actor, the Scoundrel", "The Loyal and Brave Generals of the Yang Family" is a bit miserable.

When Chen Fei looked through the media reports of the latter's premiere afterwards, he found that this movie was still made by a Hong Kong director, a Hong Kong screenwriter, and most of the Hong Kong actors.

After seeing this structure, he already had a rough idea in his mind. This is probably another "historical blockbuster" shot by the Hong Kong entertainment industry team!

At the premiere at that time, Wang Zhonglei boldly and heroically shouted the slogan of breaking the 500 million box office in the mainland!

However, the box office results after the movie was released slapped him in the face.

The box office on the first day was 10.38 million, the box office on the second day was 4.84 million, and the weekly comprehensive box office was only 23 million.

This shows how "explosive" this movie is!

The finished film of "The Burning Sun" has been sent for post-production and special effects. Chen Fei has some free time. After seeing off Huo Qigang, he checked the fan reviews of several recently released movies.

Looking around, "The Loyal and Brave Generals of the Yang Family" received the most negative reviews!

"Oh my god, the plot logic is shit, except for the protagonist, the rest of the actors are all rubbish!"

"Did the planning team spend money to hire stars and stuntmen, and the extras are all cheap?"

"I just want to know, who the hell is this movie made for? What else is there besides a bunch of pretty boys?"

"The creators seem to have made a choice between loyalty and filial piety for the audience, but this theme was immediately disintegrated by their own creations - Yang Ye, who represents loyalty and righteousness, was haunted by nightmares on the way to escape, and had no heroic spirit at all! 1 point! Bad review!"

"Oh my god, go to participate in the Golden Broom Best Film selection, it's so damn suitable!"

Chen Fei is also good at joining in the fun.

Although he didn't go to the cinema to watch the finished film in person, he could still switch to a small account and follow netizens to shout a few bad reviews.

He likes to do things like making trouble for Huayi the most.

He is not the kind of open-minded person, and he himself is also very vengeful.

When he was lying in the Mayo Clinic before, the two brothers of the Wang family cooperated with Ali to do small things in private.

Just like what Master Xing said, if you do bad things, you will definitely get retribution.

It’s not that there is no retribution now, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

…

The next morning, the first day box office results of “Drug War” were released.

25.63 million RMB.

Chen Fei went to Douban to check out the reviews of this film.

"The movie interprets the different choices faced by three men from multiple perspectives such as brotherhood, family, responsibility, and accusation. The film is magnificent, the plot is compact and not dragged out, and the war scenes are shot like a big production! It's worth watching!"

"The Hong Kong films I have seen recently cannot be compared with "Drug War". Both the production and the cast are top-notch. There are shocking explosion scenes and touching and tear-jerking friendships. The acting skills of the three actors burst out. After watching a movie, there is no time for you to go to the toilet or idle! Very good! Personally, I like Zhang Jiahui more! He is really handsome in the play!"

"It can be called a rare masterpiece in co-production films, especially in crime themes. It is a conscientious work. The script written by Director Chen is simply amazing! I really admire it!"

The many good reviews naturally brought an increase in box office. The box office directly rose to 36.68 million the next day.

As expected, the scheduling of "Loyal and Brave Generals of the Yang Family" began to decrease rapidly, and all of them were allocated to "Drug War".

The theater chain has done a great job in "flexible scheduling".

…

As time quickly approaches the end of the month, the promotion of "So Young" and "One Man's Martial Arts" has entered a white-hot trend.

Zhao Yanzi, who was a director for the first time, directly mobilized the connections he had accumulated over the years and found many bigwigs to endorse him, just like a rising star in the domestic director circle.

Even the heroine Yang Zishan was awarded the title of "Wei Girl", which showed that she was a rising star born after 1985.

Of course, "One Man's Martial Arts" is not much weaker than the former.

When it comes to publicity, Feiyue Film and Television is currently also a leader in the industry. All publicity resources have been invested in the film, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the movie poster, the publicity effect is full!

The angry-eyed Zhao Wenzhuo and the crazy-looking Wang Baoqiang just stood there and immediately attracted the attention of many fans and moviegoers.

Which one is strong or weak depends on the box office results after its official release.

…

After resting for two days and relieving his somewhat tired mental state, Chen Fei directly devoted himself to the later stage of "The Burning Sun".

"The Murderer" is still in theaters, and Kang Honglei is leading a group of people to promote it. He has no free time at all in the near future.

In the end, Chen Fei simply gave the script of "Fireworks in the Day" to Wang Shiliang and asked him to film it.

There are so many contracted directors in the company, except for the two animation directors Li Yang and Yang Yu, all of them are making live-action films.

Let me ask, which director can’t pursue awards?

Ning Hao and Shen Ao had already gone to the film festival. Tang Honglei and Lu Yang were busy, so only Wang Shiliang was left.

He has been with Feiyue Film and Television since its inception, and has been promoted from a TV series director to a film director. He has all the experience and abilities he deserves, and it's time to give him some rewards.

Of course, making a good literary film is much more difficult than making a commercial film!

When Shen Ao was filming "Into the Dust" before, it was completely directed by Tian Zangzang, and the final film inevitably revealed a "Tian's movie" style.

Of course, none of this matters when it comes to the Berlin Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize.

And this time, Wang Shiliang is about to direct a literary film, so naturally he has to be given a suitable producer.

If it were in the past, Ning Hao would definitely be the most suitable candidate.

But now he is preparing the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and can't spare any free time.

Chen Fei himself is also very busy and has no time.

So, he contacted a top producer in the industry, Chen Guofu!

Since 2006, Chen Guofu has officially served as the film director of Huayi Brothers. Over the years, he has participated in the development and production of films such as "A World Without Thieves", "Assembly", "If You Are the One", "Tangshan Earthquake", "If You Are the One 2", "Starry Night" and many other movies.

At the same time, he also participated in the development, screenwriting, and production of the film "Detective Dee" series and "Tai Chi" series.

However, in January this year, Chen Guofu suddenly resigned from Huayi Brothers!

His departure caused Huayi's market value to evaporate by 800 million yuan in one day, and also triggered many speculations in the industry.

Wang Zhonglei announced that Chen Guofu chose to leave because his contract expired.

But with the sudden promotion of Gu Changwei to Huayi’s director of production not long ago, new reports suddenly appeared in the media:

"Chen Guofu, the former director of Huayi, is suspected to have been squeezed out by Gu Changwei. The latter said that the former's ability was too poor. The failure of the "Tai Chi" series caused the company to suffer huge losses..."

Other companies in the industry were just watching the excitement, but only Chen Fei saw the opportunity.

This is Chen Guofu!

Although Lao Chen is 55 years old, the main thing in this industry is his accumulated experience.

With so many years of experience as a producer, how could he completely deny his efforts just because of the failure of a few movies?

When filming "The Wind" before, Chen Fei had communicated and cooperated with him for several months, and naturally had a clear understanding of his strength.

Now that Chen Guofu is back as a free agent, doesn't the opportunity come?

As early as two months ago, Chen Fei had already communicated with him. However, it seemed that Chen Guofu still had some entanglement with Hua Yi and could not get away for the time being.

Until now, the time has come to late April, and he has finally dealt with some tedious matters.

In the private restaurant, Chen Fei did not go to the appointment with Chen Guofu alone, he also brought two generals, Su Guohai and Jiang Xuerou!

"Director Chen, I really hope to reach a cooperation with you. Feiyue Film and Television is currently lacking a good enough director, and your ability is obvious to all in the industry. I sincerely invite you to join our big family. The conditions are up to you..."

Chen Fei is very confident. As the boss of the leading production company in the industry, he believes that no one can offer more generous rewards than him!

A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist.

It just so happens that Chen Guofu is that Bole. With him in charge, Feiyue Film and Television will definitely have more talents!

Chen Guofu was naturally very unhappy when he was squeezed out of the company without any reason.

In addition, the two brothers of the Wang family refused to pay part of his salary, which made him feel even more dissatisfied.

In recent months, he has sold off all Huayi's stocks and made up his mind that he will never have any contact with the two Wang brothers from now on.

But now, facing the offer from Feiyue Film and Television Company, which was even more impressive than Huayi, and the generous remuneration, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Are you going to kick me out?

I jumped on the horse and joined a company that is even more awesome than yours!

Just thinking about it makes Chen Guofu feel great!

Without thinking too much, he raised his wine glass directly towards Chen Fei: "I'll ask Mr. Chen to take care of him in the future."

"Haha." Chen Fei picked up the wine glass and touched him lightly: "You are so flattering to me. Let's make progress together and work hard to add strength to the brilliance of Chinese-language films."

The next day, Chen Guofu officially joined Feiyue Film and Television and took over the position of producer and director of "Fireworks in the Day".

Chen Fei did not hold a grand welcome reception for Chen Guofu like Huayi did.

He just invited Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Changtian, Ye Ning, Gu Yongqiang, Huo Qigang, Ning Hao and others that night to set up several tables of wine in the large private room of the private restaurant.

For Chen Guofu, this level of welcome is much greater than widely advertising and entertaining the entire entertainment industry.

Especially when the child director of the general administration arrived, he was immediately shocked!

No wonder Chen Fei was angry at the Golden Rooster before, but nothing happened. This is his confidence!

The media did not discover the news of Chen Guofu joining Feiyue Film and Television at first. It was not until preparations for "Fireworks in the Day" began and Chen Guofu attended the press conference as producer and director that everyone was shocked to discover that the entertainment industry had unknowingly Things have changed!

That night, relevant reports spread overwhelmingly:

"Breaking news, director Chen Guofu, who resigned from Huayi, officially announced that he will join Feiyue Film and Television to seek new development together."

"The '800 million' lost by Huayi was picked up by Feiyue Film and Television."

"Is Chen Guofu's departure good or bad for Huayi? Can Gu Changwei be able to take on the position of director producer?"

Not surprisingly, the news quickly reached the ears of Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun.

"Chen Guofu joined Feiyue Film and Television?"

Wang Zhongjun frowned. He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably unhappy, as if something very important had been taken away.

On the other hand, Wang Zhonglei behaved very calmly: "Just add more, he is already old, his energy can't keep up, and he has been useless for a long time. Isn't he still the same after he went there?"

The failure of "Tai Chi" 1 and 2 made Wang Zhonglei very dissatisfied with Chen Guofu as the director.

Such a good script and actors were actually filmed like that. Isn't this a failure of his producer's responsibility?

Now that Gu Changwei is a well-known top director in the industry, who needs Chen Guofu? He can just leave it wherever he can.

"Well, what you said does make sense."

Wang Zhongjun didn't think about it any more. After all, the deal was done and it was useless to say anything now.

…

I don’t know if it was influenced by Chen Guofu joining Feiyue Film and Television. In the following period, many actors called Chen Fei, hoping to affiliate their studio with Feiyinghuang Agency.

As for these requests, he neither agreed nor refused, but pushed them all to Huo Wenxi.

Feiyinghuang Company does accept the affiliation of artist studios, but so far, only Liu Ye, Zhou Xun, and Lin Gengxin have successfully obtained the qualifications.

The latter still looked at Wanda's face, otherwise it would never have been successful.

What surprised Chen Fei was that Hu Ge, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, also called!

"Brother Fei, my contract with Tang Ren has expired. Now that I have opened my own studio, I have to ask you to take care of me from now on."

"Ouch? When did it happen? I didn't see any news reports!"

Chen Fei was really surprised.

You know, in the original timeline, Hu Ge was beaten to death by Cai Yinong, and he never left the Tang people from beginning to end.

But this time, because of Chen Fei's rebirth, he avoided the car accident. Coupled with Cai Yinong's various tricks, it directly caused him to choose to leave Tangren after the expiration of his contract!

"It will be announced soon."

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded in response. After thinking about it, he was ready to sell him a favor: "Let's go and contact Jiang Xuerou. "A Thousand Bones" and "White Night" are both casting recently. You You can also give it a try, there may be a role that suits you.”

"Okay, haha, call Yifei if you have time, and let's go out for a meal together."

"Okay, let's make an appointment then."

Hu Ge waited for Chen Fei to hang up the phone first, and then put the phone on the desk.

Looking out the glass window, he quickly fell into deep thought.

Because it is a start-up studio, the office environment is a bit rough, and there are even many employees and office equipment that are not equipped.

However, despite this, his heart was filled with deep joy.

Leaving Tang Ren means that he has completely returned to his freedom and no longer has to support other young actors.

Although without the help of the company, his early development will definitely be difficult, but he has no regrets at all.

Even if you earn less, at least everything you earn goes into your own pocket, and you don’t have to look at other people’s faces anymore.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and called his newly recruited assistant: "Buy a ticket to the capital, as soon as possible."

As a beneficiary of the Fairy Sword series, Hu Ge knows very well how powerful fairy tale dramas such as "Flower Thousand Bones" are in attracting people!

He now urgently needs to expand his connections and resources and escape from Tang Ren's control, and this drama is undoubtedly a good choice.

The news of Hu Ge's contract termination was not kept secret for too long.

Although Cai Yinong was reluctant to issue an announcement, this kind of thing absolutely cannot be suppressed.

Hu Ge was the first to announce: "Due to the expiration of the contract, after careful consideration, I have decided not to renew the contract with Tangren Films. I am very grateful for Tangren's care and help over the past few years. Next, I will establish my own studio..."

Compared to Hu Ge's remarks, Cai Yinong was much more straightforward.

"Tangren has officially terminated the agency contract with actor Hu Ge. Please do not disturb Tangren Films regarding his subsequent schedule."

Simply a sentence, without any encouragement, praise, or even recollection or emotion, as if it was a routine report.

"This woman is really petty."

Looking at Tangren's response, Chen Fei curled his lips, and his impression of Cai Yinong plummeted.
