Chapter 631 Sister-in-Law Opens the Door? The Mistress Wants to Take Over? Go Public to Make Money? Is It a Taboo to Change the Leader at the Last Minute?
Halfway through July, when several summer movies were in theaters, the Film Bureau suddenly released a report on box office data for the first half of the year.
Because "Wolf Warrior", "The Grandmaster", "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", "Love in Seattle" and "One Man's Martial Arts" have all achieved great sales.
Therefore, from the data point of view, domestic films are miraculously tied with imported films!
But precisely because of this, the pressure on domestic films released in the second half of the year has doubled.
And more importantly, there are a lot of imported movies in the second half of the year, and all of them are aggressive and want to make a fortune from the domestic cinema market!
Among them, there are at least five movies produced by Volton Pictures alone. All of these are "enemies" to the domestic theater market.
"Iron Man 3" has been in China for a month, with a box office of 880 million, which can be said to dominate the entire June schedule.
Even in the global theater market, the total box office has now officially exceeded one billion US dollars, which is a huge batch.
Later there will be movies such as "Thor", "Captain America", "Godzilla", etc. These are all blockbusters!
"The Martian" can compete with it, but this film has been scheduled for the Spring Festival and will not be able to contribute to the box office of domestic films in the second half of 2013.
"Heart of the Burning Sun" is scheduled to be released in September, but this is just a literary film. It is absolutely impossible for it to achieve the effectiveness of a commercial film.
Therefore, the bureau suddenly set its sights on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
Tong Ju even called Chen Fei himself and asked Chen Fei if this movie could be released before the year?
He didn't dare to boast, he could only promise to do his best.
As for whether we can catch up, it depends on God's will.
…
The actors in the crew work very hard, and Fan Bingbing is an example of them.
This person always exudes a special charm that makes everyone unable to help but fall in love with him.
Especially when filming the clip of stripping and seducing Yang Zirong, Chen Fei even wanted to give her the title of "sexy vixen".
There was nothing I could do about it, the performance was so charming that many staff on the scene were dumbfounded.
However, soon everyone was amused by the sentence "Jiuye pees".
In addition to being ferocious, the Eight King Kongs are also very talented in "comedy".
In the afternoon, when filming the scene where Fan Bingbing was tied to the bedside by Han Sanping and whipped with a whip, Chen Fei deliberately cleared the scene to prevent more people from seeing something they shouldn't.
However, Fan Bingbing was quite free and easy, joking to himself: "It's normal for filming. You can watch it if you want. What's the point?"
Regarding this, Chen Fei could only give this person a thumbs up in his heart.
Being able to grow from a maid to a hot A-list actress in the industry, and also becoming a member of the "Four Dans Double Ice", Fan Bingbing's double quotient is definitely the best!
When the staff tied her up with hemp rope, she secretly winked at Chen Fei while others were not paying attention. She was really bold enough.
After a whole day of filming, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel.
In the car, Chen Fei saw another very interesting thing.
Just as the previous scandal between Jiang Wenli and Huang Xuan was gradually dying down, Zhang Jingchu suddenly posted more than ten short essays on Weibo.
Looking around, it's all about chicken soup of love.
"If you like it, go for it and don't have too many worries", "After living for most of your life, shouldn't you be brave for love?", "My life is not defined by anyone..."
After Chen Fei flipped through a few items, he couldn't help laughing.
This person's operation is also quite novel. She is obviously preparing to become the director's wife, but she even put her original wife on the fire and roasted her here.
Jiang Wenli has been in this circle for so long, so he will naturally not be affected by this little turmoil.
She is just a mistress. As long as she does not move away, Zhang Jingchu will always be a mistress!
In addition, Tangren, who has been criticized for the departure of his first brother and first sister, also made a big move today.
Cai Yinong publicly announced that she will sign an artist economic contract with Nortel freshman Chen Yao and has prepared a youth campus inspirational TV series for her.
From the grand signing ceremony, it can be seen that this person is obviously Liu Shishi's successor. Tangren is trying to train her to be the "first sister" of the company.
It's just a pity for Jiang Shuying and others. They have signed contracts with Tang Dynasty for so many years, and they are still playing supporting roles. They occasionally participate in one or two movies, and they only get marginal roles.
In this regard, Cai Yinong has no "fairness" at all.
All she pursues is maximizing profits!
…
The movie is being filmed here, but various premiere invitations and event invitations are being sent in a steady stream.
Such as the galloping horse IPO reception.
When seeing this invitation letter, Chen Fei couldn't help but curled his lips.
"Finally, are you going to go public to make money?"
In the original timeline, Pony's listing was inseparable from the special effects company it acquired in Hollywood.
But now, this company has been captured by Chen Fei in advance, without giving Xiao Ma any chance.
So what should they do next?
Chen Fei was looking forward to it.
…
When Andy Lau returned to the set, it was already half a month after "Blind Detective" was released.
The daily new box office of the film officially fell below 10 million, and the subsequent publicity had no effect, so he rushed to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
The reputation of the movie is actually quite good, but unfortunately, because of the great influence of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", no matter how hard Liu Dehua promotes it, it is still difficult for the box office to rise significantly.
For this reason, he even came out again to apologize to fans and netizens:
"The bad reviews and failure of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" are mostly due to me, and have nothing to do with other people and the movie. Please don't deliberately target "Blind Detective" and the crew members. I sincerely apologize to everyone here and hope to get your forgiveness..."
Sincerity is always the best card.
Liu Dehua's behavior has won a lot of praise. Although it didn't help the box office growth of "Blind Detective", it also saved the movie from a lot of criticism and targeting.
From Chen Fei's point of view, Liu Dehua is much better than those directors and actors who blame each other when there is a problem. No wonder he can be popular for decades.
Now all he needs is a good enough movie and a stunning enough role to easily reverse his decline.
In "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", Liu Dehua chose to play "Luan Ping", the villain who quarreled with Yang Zirong.
Since his debut, he has played a handful of villain roles, but without exception, each one is very exciting.
In the confrontation with Yang Zirong played by Jiang Wen, both sides played their wisdom, courage and acting skills very well.
Although this scene is to set off Yang Zirong's wisdom and courage in the face of crisis, Liu Dehua's appearance adds a strong sense of tension to the atmosphere on the scene, making this scene even more exciting!
He didn't have many scenes, and it took only half a day to shoot them all.
In the evening, the crew held a farewell banquet for him.
Perhaps because he had drunk some wine, Liu Dehua could not help but confide a few words: "In the next year, I may not continue to film, and will focus more on charity.
After a year or two, when the popularity of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" has completely disappeared, I will consider returning to film..."
Because of himself, "Blind Detective" suffered a huge box office failure, and Liu Dehua felt very guilty.
Although there are still many crews sending him scripts, he does not want to implicate these movies.
It's good to relax after a period of settling down, so as not to bear this huge public opinion pressure every day.
Fade Chen didn't say anything, but just raised his glass to him and drank it all.
...
The next day, as Liu Dehua left, a piece of news suddenly topped the film and television entertainment website.
"The remake of "Ip Man 3" has officially finished filming! Zhao Wenzhuo's version of "Ip Man" will meet fans in October, so please stay tuned."
As the news was exposed, Yinghuang and Feiyue Film and Television's official websites followed closely and both issued notices to verify the authenticity of the matter.
For a time, there was another round of heated discussions in the circle!
It is obvious that from now on, Zhen Zixuan and the name "Ip Man" are no longer linked.
This person is really miserable, because of his various operations, he directly lost a top resource!
I regret it for sure, but everything can't go back.
The media is just watching the fun and not minding the big things. Various conspiracy theories and related reports are emerging in an endless stream, causing constant heated discussions inside and outside the circle.
"Changing the commander at the last minute is a big taboo. It is true that Zhao Wenzhuo's "One Man's Martial Arts" won the box office, but can his role as Ip Man win the audience's love?"
"It is reported that "Special Identity" starring Zhen Zixuan will also be released in mainland theaters in October, and the "Zhao Zhen dispute" has not yet completely ended."
"According to internal information, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" has completed 2/3 of the post-production, and the investors Huaxiaxing and Bona intend to schedule the film in September..."
All kinds of news on the Internet are making a lot of noise, but the parties involved have not responded.
In the mouth of the media, this has become a tacit agreement.
In October, the "Zhao Zhen dispute" is suspected to kick off again and have the final final battle!
Lu Zheng was confused by these news and hurriedly called Chen Fei to ask about the authenticity of the relevant news.
You know, that "Special Identity" was invested by Xingguang Canlan, and it was also starred by Jing Tian.
If this is targeted by "Ip Man 3", then it will be a disaster.
However, Chen Fei's words gave him a reassurance: "Don't worry, we expect the release date to be September 29th, and the movie you invested in has been scheduled for October 18th. There are nearly 20 days between them. How could there be any impact?"
"That's good, that's good..."
Lu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
After chatting for a few sentences, the two of them inevitably mentioned the news about "The Man from Macau".
"This movie is really good. It has exceeded 200 million in one week of release, and it is expected to reach at least 600 million. The commercial value and status of Tiantian have been greatly improved..."
Hearing his words, Chen Fei reminded him appropriately: "Mr. Lu, I think you have also seen the discussion about Jing Tian on the Internet. 'Resource-based' is not a good word.
If you want to continue to maintain Jing Tian's value and status, you must open your eyes when accepting roles in the future, and it is better to have nothing than to have something bad."
"Okay, don't worry, I know the stakes."
Lu Zheng responded very simply, but it was hard to say whether he listened or not.
…
July is quickly coming to the end of the year, and the box office of films such as "Return to Earth", "Pen 2", and "Shocking" have successfully exceeded the 100 million mark.
Of course, the most noteworthy imported film is "Fast and Furious 6"!
You know, Chen Fei was personally involved in this movie. If nothing else happens, it will definitely crush the movies of the same period.
"Equator" is carrying this heavy pressure and promoting intensively.
Also launched at the same time are "Youth School" starring Dong Zijian and Qin Hailu, and "Tiny Times 2: Aoki Era" directed by Guo Jingming.
This kind of movie has not even been released yet, and then immediately launched the promotion plan for the second one. Even if you look at the global theater market, it is very rare.
Many people on the Internet are ridiculing that the movie Guo Xiaosi made is just an expanded MV and cannot be called a movie at all!
As usual, Guo Xiaosi still jumped out and claimed in front of the media that he had suffered various attacks from the industry.
"Just because I am too successful, I have suffered the envy of many people. They are eager to drag me down and let me experience failure with them..."
Some entertainment media captioned this interview with Guo Jingming: "A small body carries a big entertainment industry"!
Chen Fei looked very happy. This person was obviously learning the marketing methods of "To Youth" and "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and brought together multiple elements such as "black and red", "rice circle", and "feelings". Together, they created a hodgepodge.
However, this method did attract a lot of attention when used in the first film, but can it still produce such outstanding results in the second film?
Chen Fei said he would wait and see.

The filming progress of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has reached the scene where the mountain eagle holds a hundred chicken banquet in the Tiger Hall.
At the same time, based on Yang Zirong's intelligence, the bandit suppression team will take advantage of the night to join forces and launch a charge against Weihu Mountain.
Fan Bingbing, who was wearing a dark printed cotton cheongsam, was tied up with a rope again by the staff. He was lying on the big bed with his back facing up.
The charming makeup, coupled with the curvy figure, simply shows the charm of the young woman to the fullest.
However, the way the rope was tied made Fade Chen feel inexplicably familiar.
After staring at Fan Bingbing carefully, Chen Fei turned to look at the prop master and asked curiously: "Brother, have you gone to Neon Country for further training? This binding method is a bit exaggerated!"
He said this in a joking way, but he never thought that the buddy would nod in response:
"Director Chen, I did learn this technique from Neon. Isn't it good? If it looks ugly, I can change the binding method again."
"It's not ugly at all." Chen Fei covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Let's change it again. Just use the normal binding method. The current binding method is so imaginative... it's so weird."
"oh!"
The brother responded, ran over with a red face, and began to adjust Fan Bingbing's binding position.
Either way, it could be said that Mr. Fan is the most handsome post-80s flower girl, and the hint of amorous feelings he revealed inadvertently made the staff on site feel itchy.
Even the cameraman had several dumbfounded moments.
Chen Fei secretly muttered in his heart: "Compared to Yu Nan, this is the attitude of Mrs. Yazhai!"
Let me ask, if this were in reality, who would not shout out when seeing Fan Bingbing: Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid, I am my brother?
However, facing a figure like the Mountain Eagle, it is very rare for people who dare to actually take action.
In the plot, Si Jingang's death was not due to the discovery of the map that Yang Zirong used to frame him, but because of the discovery of his sister-in-law's underwear in his arms!
In the eyes of the mountain eagle, this behavior is an unforgivable death penalty!
…
The crew of "Equator" sent premiere invitations to many actors and film and television companies in the industry, and the names on the signatures were the names of Feiyue Films and Golden Harvest Pictures.
Unfortunately, Chen Fei was unable to attend the premiere because he had to film.
However, under the auspices of Huo Qigang and Su Guohai, the premiere was very successful, and many film critics in the industry gave the film very high praise.
And then it’s time to wait for the release.
Cheung Suet-you, Cheung Jiahui, Yu Wenle, Chen Zheng, Wang Xuejin... Such a lineup is destined that this film will not be a Hong Kong film in the ordinary sense.
At the same time, "Thor: The Dark World" held its premiere ceremony in North America.
This movie will be released simultaneously in North America and the Mainland on August 2. It will undoubtedly be a huge blow to domestic movies of the same period.
However, just when many people in the film and television industry focused on several movies that were about to hit theaters, Huayi, which had been keeping a low profile for some time, suddenly jumped out and made a big splash!
After Galloping Horse held an IPO reception, Wang Zhongjun suddenly announced that he would make an acquisition of Galloping Horse.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of all film and television companies in the industry!
In an interview with the media, Wang Zhongjun said domineeringly: "We attach great importance to Galloping Pony's creative capabilities in the field of TV series and hope to achieve a win-win situation in this regard.
Similarly, if Ms. Zhong Lifang is willing to join Huayi, we will offer you a satisfactory treatment and appoint you as the director of Huayi Film and Television to share our success..."
For a time, the circle exploded.
You know, Huayi made a series of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of the year, causing the company's stock price to soar.
Now Wang Zhongjun suddenly reached out to the galloping horse. This is obviously to seek the rhythm of "reaching a higher level"!
In an instant, the eyes of many people in the circle fell on Xiaoma Galloping and Zhong Lifeng, looking forward to her response.
Accept mergers and acquisitions? Or listed independently?
This choice will undoubtedly determine the future direction of Pony!
