Chapter 642 What Masterpiece? It Is Better to Enjoy It Alone than to Share It with Others! "Tiny Times 2" Is Out!
Many people used to say that only premieres with the participation of Hong Kong artists can be called real excitement, because the artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are very open, and the questions asked by the media are also sharp enough...
But today, Chen Fei suddenly wanted to say that all the above remarks are nonsense!
The actors and entertainers here in the Mainland may be relatively reserved, but they are really good at playing with all kinds of tricks. After experiencing it carefully, it is extremely exciting and interesting.
Just like now, Dong Zijian, known as the "Prince of Domestic Entertainment", is recognizing relatives everywhere, calling him uncle, uncle, grandpa...
And Guo Jingming, who was ridiculed by the entire Internet and criticized by many directors, is as good as a quail at the moment, looking for people to say hello everywhere.
Yang Ying, who has been confirmed to star in "Legend of the White Ghost: Escape", always holds her head high when facing other female stars, as if she is superior to them.
Zeng Jia, who used to be just a follower behind Yang Mi, suddenly transformed into a well-known film and television company boss in the industry...
There are endless scenes like this, which are simply jaw-dropping to watch, but they are somehow reasonable.
It wasn't until Chen Fei came on stage with a microphone and announced that the premiere of "Scorching Sun" had officially begun, that the scene suddenly became quiet.
Glancing at all the guests, Chen Fei said softly: "I won't say any more. Welcome everyone to watch the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival: "Heart of the Burning Sun."
This was said in a pretentious manner, but everyone in the room listened attentively, without any intention of looking down or making a joke.
Just the three words "Golden Palm" are enough to make the entire film and television industry stand in awe!
The big screen came down and the movie officially started playing.
In fact, many people at the scene have already watched this movie at the Shanghai International Film Festival, but similarly, there are also many people who have not watched it yet.
In short, this is actually a story that describes "who is more ruthless, the French Open or the human heart?"
…
"What a guy! Everyone's acting skills here are so good. There's not a single one of them who is a soy sauce type character."
"Tsk tsk, it's worthy of being a Palme d'Or production. It really doesn't have any peeing spots throughout the whole process. It's a conscientious drama, isn't it?!"
"Good guy? Director Chen filmed this passionate scene, it was quite intense! But... this is a stand-in, right? There is still a slight difference in the feeling."
"Who said this is a literary film? There is a lot of commercial flavor in it, especially the chase scene in a high-rise building, it was so exciting!"
"This story is really "dazzling". If the law is a rigid standard, then morality is the yardstick of human nature. The two cannot be confused under certain circumstances, but they are integrated into one under certain circumstances. In a legal sense The bad guys may also be good guys in a moral sense. At least in these three "suspects", there are too many shining points of humanity..."
There was constant discussion at the scene, and everyone was watching very carefully and seriously, for fear of missing some exciting part.
After more than two hours, the film screening officially ended.
The moment the curtain came down, the audience burst into intense applause!
With the attention of everyone present, Chen Fei led all members of the starring team to the stage again and began to accept interviews.
The first question is always the box office results.
Without exception, most people at the scene were very concerned about this issue. After all, Feiyue Films' films have always been able to achieve a win-win situation in terms of awards and box office.
Chen Fei said bluntly: "The film has won so many awards and has gained a lot of popularity. I believe there will be many viewers paying attention to this film.
I won’t talk big words, and try my best to surpass all the movies in the same period, hahaha..."
These words immediately made the scene agitated. Many media and reporters' eyes lit up and they already had plans in mind.
"Chen Fei made arrogant words and vowed to crush all the movies of the same period..."
Many people at the scene have movies to be released in September. Now after hearing these words, although the smiles on their faces have not diminished, their minds have become more active.
"Want to be the dominant player in the box office market in September?"
Yu Dong murmured to himself, recalling the 3D masterpiece "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" that he invested in in his mind, and felt that Chen Fei's words were really ridiculous.
There are times when horses stumble, let alone people.
…
The cocktail party that followed was the time for everyone to socialize.
It has been nearly a year since Yang Mi left Feiyinghuang Agency, but this was the first time that Chen Fei met her.
After clinking a glass, he asked casually: "I heard that your studio is going to be upgraded to a company?"
"Well, yes, we are going through the process." Yang Mi responded and said gracefully: "If there is a suitable project in the future, maybe we can also cooperate. I have to ask for your support..."
After drinking a glass of wine, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia turned around and left. One went to Wang Changtian, and the other went to Yu Dong.
If a woman starts a career, she does have some motivation.
"The script of "One Hundred Regiments" has been reviewed. I plan to announce it to the public when I retire and give everyone a big surprise!"
Perhaps because she was about to be relieved of her heavy burden, Han Sanping was a little less sharp and a little more gentle.
"Okay, you just make the decision. I will cooperate with you throughout the process."
Since Han Sanping wanted to show off, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to refuse.
The two were chatting when suddenly, people from Tianyu and Guo Jingming came over and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Director Chen, you are the idol of everyone in our screenwriting industry."
Guo Jingming said flattering words and drank all the wine in the glass.
Chen Fei took a sip and nodded with a smile, not intending to communicate with him too much.
After saying hello, the group of people quickly moved away.
At this time, Han Sanping suddenly said: "People look quite normal, but the things written are too explicit, and some scenes cannot be disclosed to the public on a large scale..."
“It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together?”
"No, the 'public' cannot see and touch the method and process of 'individual happiness'."
"hehe……"
~
Not surprisingly, the day after the premiere of "Scorching Sun", various reports appeared on the Internet.
Maybe someone was provoking it. Most of the media said that Chen Fei had been carried away by the glory and started talking nonsense.
"No matter how high the box office ceiling for literary films is, how high can it be? Dominating September? It's all nonsense!"
"Director Chen Fei is ambitious and tries to defeat all commercial films. Is he just wishful thinking or is he confident? Please wait and see."
"If literary and artistic films want to obtain high profits, there is no other way other than winning awards and selling copyrights..."
A day later, the premiere ceremony of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Moonlight Kingdom" was held in the capital.
Although Chen Fei did not go there in person, Su Guohai made a trip.
After returning, he said bluntly: "This is just a love story that uses extreme special effects. Although it is promoted as a 3D movie, 3D effects are used in the opening part. There is no 3D picture in the whole process. I'm lying." People are not so deceived! They will be struck by lightning!”
Su Guohai was very excited, obviously annoyed by the fake 3D.
"Haha, just wait and see the good show. Movies that dare to deceive movie fans will definitely not end well."
Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh as he said this, with some inexplicable expectations in his heart. He didn't know what the hell those guys had come up with.
Although he already knew it was a bad movie, he decided to wait until it was released to see the finished film.
The production team of Hong Kong Island actually claimed to have produced a "unparalleled masterpiece", but it just sounded unreliable.
…
In addition to "The Heart of the Sun" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Moonlight", the premieres of domestic films continue to get crowded.
The September schedule, destined to be full of smoke, is about to officially kick off!
What surprised Chen Fei was that Jia Zhangke's "Destined" was suddenly allowed to be released again.
When he received a call from Lao Jia, he was still a little confused: "So what is the situation now? Have you found someone? Or has the higher-up asked you to redo the screen?"
"A few more bloody scenes were cut."
Jia Zhangke first explained, and then added: "I have to prepare quickly to get this movie into theaters. The attitude from above is very vague. I don't know when it will change."
When attending the Cannes Film Festival, Chen Fei made a special trip to watch the film "Destined to Live."
I have to say that some of the clips are really bold, full of all kinds of violence and resistance!
Especially the character "Hai Dahai" played by Jiang Wu explains what an honest person's resistance is. That Ta Ma will be desperate, completely lose his mind, and just want to die together!
The reason why the above attitude is ambiguous may be because of worries about the impact. After all, barefoot people will never be afraid of those wearing shoes.
On the 4th, Chen Fei went to the movie viewing party organized by Jia Zhangke, and once again felt what it means to be "when a man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps away!"
At the end of the movie viewing session, Chen Fei noticed that Jia Zhangke's face was not very good-looking.
After asking, I found out that the superiors were planning to schedule the movie to November, which is more than two months later.
"Fuck! Who knows if there will be new variables in the process? There are restrictions on this and restrictions on that. I'm really drunk. Domestic movies are restricted by these..."
Listening to Jia Zhangke's complaints, Chen Fei didn't know how to persuade him.
There is no way, there are too many bloody and violent scenes in the movie "Destiny", and most of them can't even be changed!
For example, the scene where Wang Baoqiang shoots three robbers, and the scene where the head explodes is completely banned in China. The reviewer said that it would not be allowed to be used, and the director and producer had no temper at all.
After the film viewing session, there was a cocktail reception, but Chen Fei did not stay too long. After chatting with a few familiar people for a while, he said goodbye to Jia Zhangke and left.
But before leaving, he found Wang Baoqiang and specifically warned:
"The project of "Detective Chinatown" has already begun. The director will be Wang Shiliang, who has filmed "Wolf Warrior". Please remember not to take on other projects in the near future and familiarize yourself with the script. Filming will start by the end of the month at the latest."
"Okay, Director Chen, I understand."
Wang Baoqiang nodded in response, completely giving up the idea of cooperating with Brother Chen Kai.
Although the conditions offered there were very high, he could still distinguish between temporary benefits and long-term gains.
You know, Brother Chen Kai, the Palme d'Or director, is no longer the only one in China, and his reputation has already dropped.
And apart from "Farewell My Concubine", his achievements in the field of commercial films are actually not particularly high.
Wang Baoqiang looks simple, honest and kind, but he is not stupid. With a project like "Detective Chinatown", why would he join the excitement of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"?
Will the boss's script be worse than Chen Kai's?
It definitely won't be good!
…
On the 5th, the imported films "Elysium" and "The Sun Also Rises" were officially released in all domestic theaters.
At the same time, "Tiny Times 2: The Age of Youth" also ushered in the final closing moment.
As a fan-oriented movie, the overall box office performance of "Tiny Times 2" almost all came from the explosion in the first week.
In the first 7 days of the first week, it slashed a box office of 170 million.
But after the first week, the box office performance began to decline sharply and directly fell.
Until the day when it was completely closed and officially withdrew from the theater, the total box office was only 256 million.
This also means that in the 23 days after the first week, "Tiny Times" only received a total of 86 million box office, which is really shocking!
Relevant reports on the film's performance have appeared online.
"The box office of the second part of Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times" series fell below expectations, with a total box office of only 256 million, which is very different from the first part."
"The disadvantages of fans' love for the movie are undoubtedly exposed, and Guo Jingming's glory has finally come to an end."
"Regrets have not been made up, but instead they have been slapped in the face. The "Tiny Times" series is suspected to be officially over..."
Chen Fei saw that many fans of Guo Jingming were comforting him online, asking him not to be discouraged, to keep working hard and create more glory.
There are even many die-hard fans accusing those ordinary fans, asking them why they don't support the movie box office?
The two sides were spitting back and forth, making the entire comment area full of smoke.
Guo Jingming didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't come forward to mediate, but deliberately let the incident continue to ferment.
Chen Fei just watched the fun, and even asked his assistant to bring melon seeds, while eating melon.
At the same time, the movie Thor: The Dark World also came to an end.
After a full month of release, the domestic box office closed at 450 million yuan, North America at 268 million US dollars, and the global box office is currently 755 million US dollars.
According to Marvel's analysis, when the movie officially ends in the global box office market, it should be able to exceed 800 million US dollars!
So far, Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World have both been successful, and the next is Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Marvel has shifted the focus of publicity and transferred all public relations power to the latter, just waiting for the official release in October.
As for The Great Gatsby starring Leo, it did not attract much box office appeal in China.
The first day of release was 7.63 million, and the first seven days were only 27.68 million. The box office potential is obviously lower than Warner Bros.' expectations.
If we don’t get enough gains in the Oscars at the end of the year, then this investment will probably be a big loss again!
