Chapter 648 These Scripts Are All Garbage! Gambling Agreement? The Queen Is Divorced!!!

The domestic film market in September is quite lively.

"The Heart of the Sun" has soared at the box office, while "The White-Haired Witch" was canceled by theaters two weeks after its release due to poor daily box office growth.

And "Witness", known as "Sun Honglei with one man and four women", only had a box office of 42.44 million in its first week, and it is estimated that it can barely make back its money.

At the same time, "Very Lucky" starring Zhang Ziyi and the movie "A City" adapted from Han Han's novel also entered the domestic cinema market.

The box office of the former only reported 10.5 million on the first day. This shows that the combination of Zhang Ziyi + Wang Lihong is slightly unsatisfactory.

Chen Fei paid special attention to the fans' comments about "Very Lucky".

Looking around, most people are saying: "The plot is too cliche, the props are crude, the actors' acting skills are insufficient, and Zhang Ziyi is suspected of being pretentious. Overall, it just looks like a boring popcorn movie..."

No matter what the reason is, the breakup of celebrities will inevitably have an impact on both parties involved.

But now, Zhang Ziyi has suffered the bitter pill.

She broke up with Xiao Sa in front of her, and then seamlessly switched to leather pants. These two things had a great impact on her.

In the eyes of many people, her behavior was actually taking advantage of Xiao Sa. Later, when she was no longer needed, she cruelly kicked Xiao Sa away and fell into the arms of another man.

Isn't this an act of betrayal?

If it is in Hollywood, this kind of situation can be said to be seen everywhere, and everyone is no longer surprised by it, but will regard it as a joke.

But this is the mainland, and many people are actually a bit conservative.

Zhang Ziyi's behavior undoubtedly hurt many people and brought her a lot of negative information and abuse.

The reason why "Very Lucky" did so poorly at the box office was not only because the plot was too cliche, but also had something to do with Zhang Ziyi herself.

The audience popularity she accumulated through "The Grandmaster" is fading rapidly. If things go on for a long time, her box office appeal will even be greatly affected!

As for the movie "A City", Chen Fei had already lost interest when he saw the name Prince Fang.

However, since this is the work of Han Han, a young writer who is as famous as Guo Jingming, he still took the time to log on to Douban and check the relevant film reviews.

The box office of this movie was really miserable. The box office on the first day was only 1.21 million, and the related movie reviews were even more appalling!

"Isn't this just the plot of emasculating Internet jokes? Isn't this too vulgar?"

"It's completely copied. Not only is the flavor of the novel gone, but the film's strengths are also not reflected. The director should practice more."

"The original novel is still very good, but this adaptation is really difficult to criticize. It is simply not averagely bad!"

"..."

After reading the relevant movie reviews, Chen Fei completely gave up the idea of ​​going to the cinema to watch the movie.

The Douban score is less than 4.5. This kind of movie will end in a bad ending sooner or later, and it is not worth his time to go there.

"Dong dong dong!"

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Chen Fei's thinking.

The secretary opened the door and walked in, reminding: "Mr. Chen, Zhou Xun is here."

"Let her come directly to my office."

"good."

The secretary quickly retreated, and when he opened the door again, Zhou Xun's figure appeared behind him.

Looking at the pile of scripts and project books wrapped in her arms, Chen Fei's teeth suddenly became sour.

If he had known this was the case, he would not have allowed Zhou Xun to help her with the project. These sisters were planning to use him as a boss!

As she walked forward, she shouted: "Come on, pick it up for me."

Chen Fei felt helpless, but he had to get up and help move the information from her arms to the table.

"Please help me take a look. What kind of 'gold' is there? If there are suitable scripts and projects, let's develop them together!"

Zhou Xun used his hands for a while, looking quite heroic!

She is quite confident, because in her opinion, no matter how bad the scripts are, there should still be a few good projects, right?

She doesn't aspire to get any top-notch scripts. A mid-range script is enough. She can familiarize herself with the production process first, and then make it bigger and stronger...

However, soon, her excited heart sank completely to the bottom.

Because under her gaze, Chen Fei looked at these scripts and project documents almost at a speed of ten seconds.

And all the scripts he had read, without exception, were thrown aside by him without any hesitation.

Until the end, when he saw the last script being ruthlessly thrown aside by him, Zhou Xun almost cried!

"Just...none of them can catch your eye?"

Chen Fei didn't hesitate at all, and said mercilessly: "No, each one is worse than the other, and they are all the kind of projects where you lose money."

Either way, these investors are very courageous. At least 8 out of 10 literary and artistic film projects requested an investment of more than 100 million.

As for the remaining two, they either asked Zhou Xun to participate in the show, or they asked for a share of the box office accounts.

Even lions don't dare to open their mouths so wide. How dare they?

"well!"

Zhou Xun sighed, his expression unusually disappointed.

She really didn't expect that investment in film and television projects would be so difficult. There were more than 50 projects, but not one of them could catch Chen Fei's eyes. This was so tragic!

"Listen to my advice. If you have that time, you might as well take on more dramas and hone your acting skills. If you really want to invest, you can invest in Liu Yifei's projects in the future. It just so happens that she doesn't have enough experience alone, so it's good to have one more person to help her."

Instantly, Zhou Xun's sadness completely disappeared.

She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Like "Dear"?

"Yes."

"Haha, then it's settled. I'll contact Yifei right now and give her some gifts to curry favor with her. I can't let her abandon me..."

After saying that, Zhou Xun went straight out of the office without any hesitation.

"Hey! Where are your scripts and project books? Take them with you!"

"No." Zhou Xun waved his hand without looking back: "Please help me crush those scripts and project books. They are just a pile of garbage. There is no place to put them when I take them back."

In less than an hour, the scripts that Zhou Xun regarded as treasures turned into garbage. This situation is also very rare.

After arranging his secretary to clear all the scripts, Chen Fei clicked the refresh button on the entertainment website.

The next second, several news suddenly popped up, directly attracting all his attention.

"Chen Jingfei, the former general manager of Hongxingwu, has been frequently in Beijing Film Academy recently and signed a new artist for his new company. Yang Caiyu, a 12th-grade acting student of Beijing Film Academy, was lucky to be shortlisted..."

"Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei spent 250 million yuan to purchase 70% of the shares of Zhang Guoli's company."

"Actor Zhang Guoli announced that he will officially sign with Huayi, and the company will also be merged into Huayi. The two sides will go hand in hand and pursue a better future together."

"..."

With the announcement of the news, the relevant inside information spread in the circle that afternoon.

"I heard that Feng Xiaogang was the matchmaker. Huayi wanted to make a move in the field of TV drama production. The previous acquisition of Xiaoma Pentium failed, so they set their sights on Zhang Guoli..."

Huayi used this trick quite well!

After all, Zhang Guoli's company is indeed very strong in the field of TV drama production, and has produced many well-received works over the years.

Now the two sides have reached a cooperation, and from the surface, this is simply a mutually beneficial cooperation plan.

However, a day later, Chen Fei suddenly got a message from Zhou Shouzi.

"It is rumored that Zhang Guoli signed a gambling agreement with Huayi. After receiving 250 million in cash, he must repurchase Huayi shares worth 150 million, and he cannot sell them within three years.

In addition, within the five years of the gambling period, Zhang Guoli's company's after-tax profit must reach 30 million, and it must increase year by year.

If the profit in any year of these five years is less than 30 million, then he will have to pay out of his own pocket to make up the difference..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's first thought was that Zhang Guoli was obviously trapped by the two brothers of the Wang family.

Annual profit of no less than 30 million is not a small amount!

And the most important thing is that in this gambling agreement, even if Zhang Guoli can win, Huayi will not lose, but can get more benefits.

But if Zhang Guoli loses, Huayi will not lose anything, because the losses will be made up by Zhang Guoli himself.

"What a good plan!"

Not only did they raise the company's stock price, but they also got the TV drama production team of Zhang Guoli's company, and they also made this kind of gambling agreement that will never lose money...

Think about it carefully, these two brothers are simply Pixiu, and the trick of "making money out of nothing" is simply too cool.

...

"Mr. Chen, several producers have sent invitations to the premiere. Do you want to take a look? Or give it directly to Mr. Su?"

The secretary came in with a box of letters, which was full of invitations sent to Chen Fei, but there were not many that really caught his eye.

"What are they? Pick out the key points and talk about them."

"The launch conference of Zhang Yimou's new movie "Coming Home", the premiere of Huayi's "Detective Dee: Rise of the Mystery Dragon", "White Fox", "Escape Plan", "Special Identity"..."

"Leave it to President Su."

Fade Chen waved his hand, and didn't hear any activities that interested him.

Although the strong return of Zhang Yimou made a lot of noise, it was just a launch conference after all, not a premiere, and it was not worth Chen Fei's personal visit.

However, the media was quite "favorable" to him, and the latest related reports emerged in an endless stream.

What made LeTV depressed was that the name of the movie "Coming Home" rarely appeared in the media reports, and most of the time, it was reported about the "love and hatred" between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.

Zhang Weiping was also a very tolerant person. Zhang Yimou repeatedly publicly called on him to pay the film salary and share the box office, but he completely ignored it and refused to show up, just dragging it on.

According to media reports, the court has accepted Zhang Yimou's lawsuit.

But whether Zhang Yimou can get the money back from Zhang Weiping is another matter!

…

As the end of the month approaches, after the filming team is successfully formed, Wang Shiliang held an "invitation-based" audition for "Detective Chinatown".

The main characters of the film have actually been determined.

The three roles of Tang Ren, Qin Feng, and Huang Landeng will be played by Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, and Huang Xiaoming respectively.

As for the role of Axiang, Tong Liya was chosen as recommended by Wang Baoqiang.

Other roles such as "Sinuo", "Tony", and "Mr. Yan" were all chosen by artists from Feiyinghuang Agency.

Pan Yueming took the initiative to play a villain because of his personal temperament and his desire to challenge the upper limit of his acting skills.

Until now, the only characters that have not yet been determined are "Kuntai" and "Brother Bei" with their own characteristics.

Since the audition location was at Feiyue Film and Television, when Chen Fei came to the company early in the morning, what he saw was a group of actors gathered in the lobby on the first floor who had come to audition.

Looking around, there were even many faces he was familiar with.

Actors from the comedy industry such as Shen Teng, Yue Yunpeng, Xiao Shen Yang, etc. were standing in the middle of the crowd.

Wang Shiliang defined the two characters "Kuntai" and "Brother Bei" as "greasy and funny" and "violent but full of comedy" respectively.

If you want to meet these conditions, it is very difficult to go to the three major colleges and universities, so you can only start from comedians.

In fact, neither Chen Fei nor the contracted directors of Feiyue Film and Television have any discrimination against comedians, the bottom group in the industry.

After all, in some cases, the acting skills of comedians are not necessarily worse than those of actors with professional backgrounds.

"Director Chen, long time no see!"

As soon as he saw Chen Fei entering the door, Shen Teng reacted first and hurriedly came towards him.

Behind him, Yue Yunpeng, Xiao Shen Yang and others quickly followed.

"Hello."

Chen Fei casually greeted everyone and asked about the audition.

"The notified audition time is ten o'clock in the morning. We came here early just to see if there is anything we need to cooperate with..."

Shen Teng is much more eloquent than the average person, and his emotional intelligence is high enough, so you will be drawn in unconsciously when chatting with him.

However, he will not participate in the audition for "Detective Chinatown", so the flattery of a group of people will not have much effect today.

Just when he met Shen Teng, Chen Fei suddenly remembered another thing, and immediately asked: "How is the progress of "Charlotte Trouble"? It's been several months, why is there still no news?"

He already knew in advance that the role of "Charlotte" would be played by Shen Teng, so as the protagonist, he should have some inside information.

"After all, Happy Mahua is new to the film industry. Unlike yours, which has a big family and a big business, there are still many places we are not familiar with and we need to explore slowly. I estimate that the preparations should be almost complete by the end of October at the latest."

"Okay." Chen Fei responded, and then specifically warned: "Go back and tell you, Manager Yan, to come to me at any time if you have any problems that cannot be solved.

We are partners and we should advance and retreat together. In addition to funds, we will also provide some help within our capabilities. "

"Okay, thank you! Thank you, Director Chen!"

Shen Teng quickly bowed to thank him, and then slowly put away the smile on his face until he watched Chen Fei get on the elevator.

Xiao Shen Yang, Yue Yunpeng and others on the side were very moved when they heard this, but they couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Happy Twist's drama can be adapted into a film and television series, and it won't be too difficult.

But Deyun Club's cross talk and Liu Laogen's big stage duo did not have the basis for adaptation, so even if they wanted to curry favor with Chen Fei, they could not find a suitable topic.

…

Although Chen Fei had no intention of going there to watch the audition process of "Detective Chinatown", after all, the audition was held in the company, and he, the boss, still had to show up.

But, he wasn't planning to go there so early.

He planned to wait until the audition came to an end and then take a walk around the venue to give Wang Shiliang a platform or something.

Before that, he was going to eat the fresh melon that had just blossomed and produced fruit this morning.

From dawn to now, in just four or five hours, the entire entertainment industry and even the entire Internet are concerned about and discussing the divorce of the princess and Li Yapeng.

There are netizens who are not too concerned about the excitement. Based on the relationship between the two people in that scene, they extended the picture of "old love + good friends + scandal".

You don’t know if you don’t see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!

From the 1990s to the present, most of the first-line actors and stars in the entertainment industry in different time periods are on this picture, and even spread across the Taiwan Strait and three places!

The entanglements and connections between these two people are truly extensive!

Chen Fei concentrated on sorting it out for a long time, and then he sorted out the general context from the picture.

Time has passed, and Wang, Xie, Zhou, and Li are now all single again. Everything seems to be back to where it started, and it can still be reshuffled and reorganized.

Looking around, the Internet is now full of all kinds of grievances and entanglements between these four people, and even scandals from the past few years have been resurfaced.

Zhou Xun's studio was surrounded by the media and paparazzi, and not even a fly could fly out!

Speaking of which, she was quite unlucky. The others had either gone into hiding or fled directly to Xiangjiang. She was the only one in the capital, so naturally it was "hard to escape".

And this also proves from the side that the entertainment industry is really chaotic!

There are only four people, but there are many threads involved in each other. If the entire entertainment industry is included, it will probably form an extremely complicated spider web!

Chen Fei was eating melon when Zhou Xun's phone call suddenly came in.

"Fuck! What's going on with this horse riding thing? I'm riding a horse and I'm not married or divorced. It's none of my business..."

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Zhou Xun, who used to make fun of others, turned out to be the target of ridicule today. This is really interesting.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Yes!" Zhou Xun said quickly: "Hurry up and urge the crew of "Red Sorghum" to have Director Zheng Xiaolong announce the start of filming quickly, so that I can hide in the crew for a few days to relax. I'm really going to be bored to death. ”

"OK."

Chen Fei responded and hung up the phone amid Zhou Xun's cursing voice.
