Chapter 661 It’s Time to Give the TV Industry a Shocking Shock!
Yang Shoucheng was so happy that he almost turned into a flower recently.
The first part of "Macau Revival" was a hit, and the box office of "Ip Man 3" soared to 1.1 billion. Yinghuang reversed its previous decline and became a myth in the Hong Kong film and television industry again!
No, in order to celebrate his achievements in the second half of the year, he specially came to the capital and held a celebration banquet here.
Although Chen Fei has been very busy recently, he still attended the celebration banquet.
"I'm going to strike while the iron is hot and launch "Macau 2" directly next year. What do you think?"
Listening to Yang Shoucheng's words, Chen Fei did not give any objection: "Just make arrangements for such small matters, just contact Su Guohai directly."
As he was talking, Chen Fei suddenly thought of another thing: "Jing Tian seems to have just accepted a TV series called "Legend of Ban Shu". You need to ask her about her schedule before making preparations."
"I know this. I have already communicated with Mr. Lu."
"That's fine."
Unknowingly, Jing Tian's image as a resource guy seems to be getting more and more popular.
"The Legend of Ban Shu" is currently being filmed, and "Macau Storm 2" is lined up again. When preparations for "Pacific Rim 2" begin, she and Wu Jing will definitely have to film together...
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since her debut, all she has encountered are from top resources!
Unfortunately, she never seems to have improved significantly in terms of acting skills, and she stays in her comfort zone most of the time.
…
As December approaches, Waltons Pictures held a grand premiere event for "Nowhere" and sent out a clear signal to the outside world that it was competing for the Olympics.
Michael Mann called Chen Fei with great excitement and thanked him very sincerely: "Fei, I want to thank you for everything you have done for me..."
"You don't have to be so polite. After all, you have helped me before, right?"
When it participated in the Venice Film Festival before, it was with the help of Michael Mann that "Dallas Buyers Club" successfully won the Golden Lion Award.
Every drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water, not to mention a generous gift like a "golden lion". It is absolutely normal to give him an Oscar statuette.
"Don't take it lightly, the competition this year is equally fierce..."
Before hanging up the phone, Chen Fei specially told Michael Mann a few words, telling him to be cautious.
There are too many uncontrollable factors in Oscar selection. Once you relax in any way, you are likely to miss out on the Oscar.
Many award-winning films will be released in November and December, and the competition is extremely fierce.
"Fei, don't worry, I will personally follow up on every reception and party, including promotional activities. I will not slack off."
"Ok, then I wish you success in winning the statuette!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei originally thought of calling Xiao Lizi, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
According to the time difference, he should be still at a party or cocktail reception to publicize the judges.
Everyone in the world knows that Leonardo DiCaprio loves supermodels, but only people within the industry know that his love for the golden statuette is more pure.
Over the years, there have been countless women under the age of 25 around him, but he has never given up on pursuing that golden Oscar winner.
In order to pursue his dream, in addition to the "The Great Gatsby", he also prepared a "Wolf of Wall Street".
Both movies have the main goal of chasing the "Oscar for Best Actor", and the horns are blowing extremely fiercely. I just don't know whether they can win in the end?
…
"The premiere of "The Big Four 2" is going to be held today, are you still going?"
After getting up early in the morning, Chen Fei began to urge Liu Yifei.
This girl said before going to bed last night that she would go to an event with her tomorrow, but she regretted it after a good sleep and stayed in bed early in the morning.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, you can go alone. I want to go to bed, so don't call me, or I'll bite you!"
Pulling up the quilt and covering her head, Liu Yifei didn't get up without saying anything, and started acting rogue.
She is very angry when getting up, and usually has to sleep until she is no longer angry before getting up.
And it was just a premiere event, it had nothing to do with her, she could go or not.
"Hey, you little slacker."
Chen Fei reached into the quilt and patted her erected part a little harder, and had no choice but to leave the room first.
However, as soon as he got in the car, a call suddenly came in from the company.
"Brother Fei, hey, where are you now?"
"I'm going to attend an event. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
On the other end of the phone, Ni Xuelin, who is in charge of the entire screenwriting department, said cheerfully: "Then come back when you are free. The brothers have compiled another TV series script. How about you come back and taste it?"
"Okay, I'll be there in the afternoon."
The benefits of purchasing a large number of copyrights are reflected here.
With the release of a series of scripts such as "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "White Night", and "Red Sorghum", the screenwriting department has gone completely crazy.
It has evolved so far that whenever a new screenwriter comes on board or a certain team is free, they will inevitably study TV series scripts.
Chen Fei doesn't even know how much inventory there is in the screenwriting department now. He only knows one thing, and that is that these guys will surprise him from time to time!
…
The premiere of "The Big Four 2" was arranged in the light studio hall.
When Chen Fei arrived at the scene, what he saw was the red carpet that had been laid out on the road, as well as a large number of fans on both sides and media and reporters carrying long guns and short guns.
After signing a few names outside and taking a few photos upon invitation, he quickly walked into the studio without staying outside too long.
Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Zheng Zhongji, Jiang Yiyan, Liu Yan, Wu Xiubo... the actors in the infield and the reporters invited to the scene are all already in place.
Seeing Chen Fei come in, many people at the scene turned their eyes over.
Yang Mi, who was in the crowd, also cast her gaze, but her expression seemed a little unnatural.
Having said that, the reason why she was able to star in "Four Famous Catchers" was because of Chen Fei's care, and she was lucky enough to get the role of the female lead "Ruthless".
What makes her feel a little embarrassed is that although she has left the Feiyinghuang Agency, she is still enjoying the cuteness from Chen Fei.
The reason why Chen Fei is here today is purely as a guest.
He is not a founding member, nor is he one of the investors, he is just a spectator.
If there is a connection, the special effects of "The Big Four 2" were made by his company, and he can barely be considered as Party B.
It's just that the good-natured reporters didn't want to let him go.
He was sitting in the audience, but several media cameras suddenly shone on him, and the topic of the interview also moved to his side.
"Director Chen, there is news that Yang Mi was able to star in the "Four Famous Catchers" series because she was contacted by Feiyinghuang Agency. Now she has left the company, but she is still enjoying what she had received before. Benefits and benefits, what’s your attitude towards this?”
This question was a bit too abrupt, so many people at the scene did not react, and the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became much stiffer.
The topic suddenly came to him, which Chen Fei did not expect.
But he didn't care too much. After taking the microphone, he said casually: "Yang Mi just left the company. It doesn't mean that we have become enemies or will never cooperate. Since the crew of "Four Famous Catchers" If I think she is suitable for the female lead, then she should be the one to play the role. This has no direct connection with the Feiyinghuang Agency."
After hearing these words, many actors present looked envious.
After counting so many brokerage companies in the industry, in terms of internal atmosphere, only Feiyinghuang Brokerage Company may be the best.
Not only is there a large supply of resources, but it also doesn’t force its artists to do things they don’t like.
Even if the contract expired and the two parties officially parted ways, it was easy to get together and part ways, and there was never any targeting or slander. This atmosphere is really good.
At this time, after hearing Chen Fei's words, Yang Mi on the stage also showed a smile on her face.
However, in the next second, Chen Fei's words made her smile freeze on her face: "Of course, although that is what I said, if Feiyue Film and Television launches other new projects in the future, we will definitely give priority to our own Actors in the company, not outsiders.”
After speaking, he directly handed the microphone back to the staff.
His attitude has been expressed. It is not directed at Yang Mi, but at all artists who have terminated their contracts with Feiyinghuang Agency.
However, Yang Mi's heart suddenly sank at this moment.
She suddenly thought of the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle".
When she communicated with Xue Xiaolu before, the other party made it clear that the script for the second part had been written, and the investors also chose Feiyue Film and Television and China Film.
As for her Jiaxing Media, unfortunately, there is no opportunity to participate in investment.
In desperation, she had to ask about the selection of actors, but Xue Xiaolu did not make a commitment to her, but said that he would make a decision after discussing with the other two investors.
Now it seems that she may have missed out on this movie.
After leaving the company, she still wants to take advantage of the resources of her old employer. This is just a fantasy of hers.
…
After leaving the premiere of "The Big Four 2", Chen Fei got in the car and went straight to the company.
He is now extremely curious about the new script that Ni Xuelin mentioned. Judging from what the boy said, the quality of this script should be no less than that of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".
In the past few years, the screenwriting department's authority to embezzle funds has been expanded to nine figures, and countless copyrights have been purchased.
Last year and the year before that, Chen Fei would still look through the catalog from time to time, but this year, he has completely given up the idea of looking through it.
Especially after acquiring the entire company, the amount of inventory was so huge that it was impossible to look past it.
After entering the company, Chen Fei first took a look at the large LED screen placed in the lobby, and then rushed to the elevator.
November is coming to an end soon. The box office of "Godzilla" has exceeded 600 million, and it is on the way to 700 million.
If it weren't for the influence of other imported films, I'm afraid this would have achieved its goal long ago.
When he arrived at the screenwriting department and met Ni Xuelin, Chen Fei finally understood why this guy was so excited.
Because the name of the new script is-"Nirvana in Fire"!
Looking at the script in his hand, Chen Fei was stunned for a moment.
This horse riding is no longer an ordinary surprise, but a big surprise!
Ni Xuelin, who was standing by, thought that Chen Fei didn't know much about the script, so he immediately introduced it: "The script is adapted from the long online historical novel of the same name by the writer Hai Yan.
Although it is adapted from an online novel, its background is more inclined to traditional drama. It focuses on the brotherhood between men and places its vision on the country and the world. It shows the ideals of many people with friendship for Qingming, and finally redresses the old injustice, creating a new dynasty of peace and prosperity.
Although the story is fictional history, the values it conveys are traditional and positive..."
Ni Xuelin talked a lot, but Chen Fei only heard five words in his mind.
This is a "costume drama of power struggle"!
As we all know, costume dramas are an unchanging truth in the circle, not to mention this kind of high-quality costume drama.
Once it is launched, it will definitely be another classic, and it can even become one of the synonyms of Feiyue Film and Television!
After spending more than half an hour reading the script, Chen Fei made the decision directly: "You arrange someone to take it for review first, I will contact Jiang Xueruo and let her personally control this drama. It must be filmed well!"
"Okay." Ni Xuelin responded and turned to leave.
But at this moment, Chen Fei stopped him: "Notify the screenwriter team responsible for "Nirvana in Fire" to double their bonus this month."
"Haha, okay, I will thank Brother Fei on behalf of the brothers."
Ni Xuelin couldn't hide his joy.
Although it was a script made by his subordinates, as long as the screenwriter department has achievements, he, as a manager, will naturally get a performance bonus.
After calling Jiang Xueruo, she appeared in the company in less than an hour.
"Ancient costume? Power struggle?"
Looking at the content of the script, Jiang Xueruo also couldn't hide her joy.
When she led Zhou Yi to fight in the circle, she had never fought such a rich battle?
"The Journey of Flower", "Day and Night", "Red Sorghum", and now there is another "Nirvana in Fire". Once this lineup is launched one after another, who in the circle can stop it?
After reading the script, Jiang Xueruo turned his head and looked at Chen Fei, asking: "This is the company's first TV project next year, right?"
"Yes." Chen Fei nodded, and asked again: "What is the progress of the post-production of "The Journey of Flower" and "Day and Night"?"
Jiang Xueruo: "There are not many special effects used in "Day and Night", and it is expected to be completed around the Spring Festival. "The Journey of Flower" will be a little slower, but it will be completed by March next year at the latest."
"Okay."
Chen Fei finally made the decision: "Separate these two dramas, "Day and Night" will be launched before May Day, "The Journey of Flower" can be put during the summer vacation, "Red Sorghum" will be arranged in the second half of the year, and then "Nirvana in Fire" will be taken over in 2015..."
As a series of arrangements were issued, Chen Fei inexplicably felt a sense of anticipation in his heart
He has already stirred up a storm in the film industry, and now it is the turn of the TV industry. It is time to give the TV industry a shocking shock!
