Chapter 665: It’s Annoying! Huayi Is so Disappointed! This Rebirth Is Not in Vain!

71.49 million, 71.11 million, 98.86 million...

The first three days of the weekend flew by.

When "Private Order" was released and the box office successfully exceeded 240 million within three days of its release, the industry media finally turned their attention to this movie that should have become this year's Lunar New Year box office champion.

"After many years, director Feng Xiaogang returned to the Lunar New Year festival with a comedy. The film was a successful box office hit. There is still a part of the 'Feng's Comedy' in the Lunar New Year festival."

"The box office growth trend is good, and "Private Customization" may have a box office prospect of 1 billion!"

"When talking about the box office results, Director Feng Xiaogang said that this will be one of his masterpieces and that more outstanding works will be born in the future!"

Like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", "Private Customization" has a very good reputation and evaluation in the circle. Especially the group of people from the Huayi faction are eager to praise this movie as unique in the world.

It's just that, as time goes on, the reviews of this movie among the audience and fans have been mixed.

Some fans of Feng Xiaogang think that comedy movies are just for fun. As long as they are not too vulgar and do not forcefully be funny, then they are considered qualified.

In addition, many of the lines in this movie are refreshing, so it has naturally won the support of a group of fans.

Many people even started to write jokes on the Internet using lines from this movie:

"You have donated one billion, why are you not willing to donate a car?

——Because I really have a car! "

"Work hard and I will find you a sister-in-law next year."

"Don't make the mistake of saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish... I don't have to accept it, but they have to give it away."

With the emergence of these jokes, the character played by Fan Wei also began to become popular on the Internet.

In addition to his really good acting skills, the classic lines spoken by him, coupled with Li Xiaolu's seduction, and the collision of status... directly formed a very strong contrast!

Among the fans who watched the movie, it is no exaggeration to say that at least one-third of them came for the role of Fan Wei.

It's just that, unlike those audiences who gave positive reviews, there are still some fans and critics who are catching "Private Customization" and criticizing it!

"I finally figured it out. Is this borrowing the shell of "Party A and Party B"? So far, I personally think that it is the worst movie I have ever spent money to watch in a theater. It's just a piece of everything to celebrate the New Year. Just to make money?"

"Haha, although "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is terrible, at least it has beautiful scenery and slightly beautiful images from all over the world. And "Private Customization" regardless of plot, content, structure, dialogue, interior scenes, exterior scenes, and shooting costs Wait, it’s useless!”

"I really don't understand what self-confidence Hua Yi and Feng Xiaogang have, or how much chicken blood they drank? How dare they boast that the box office will be 1 billion? Are they really treating the fans who support you as idiots?"

"Feng Xiaogang, who has always prided himself on being arrogant, either has no skills or has his IQ hijacked by investors. He tried to make a big profit during the Lunar New Year holiday, but in the end he came up with a shoddy product."

"To be honest, there are really no laughs. Every paragraph has logical loopholes and a sense of abrupt ending. It is very fake. At the end, there is a wave of preaching out of nowhere. What is this horse riding thing? Refund the ticket! Refund my ticket. !”

Compared with the compliments, there are obviously more curses.

Especially as the release time extends, audiences increasingly feel that this movie has too many flaws.

Those plots and lines seem to have been moved from major cross talk shows and sketch stages. In essence, this movie is just a show of words and cleverness.

When the curses increased, Feng Xiaogang, who was worried about the impact on the box office, finally couldn't sit still.

He has a very explosive temper, and when he gets angry, he simply bombards and fires everywhere.

Before this, he had already engaged in several large-scale "scold wars", and even got the title of "Hu Shu Bao".

And this time, he also did not get used to the audiences and film critics who wrote negative reviews online.

On the morning of the fourth day after the movie was released, he deliberately took half a day of free time, sat in front of the computer and started chatting with netizens.

"If the movie doesn't look good, don't go see it! I didn't kowtow to invite you to go! It's really fun to ride a horse."

"You said there's no point in laughing if there's no point in laughing? Why don't you look into your brain? Is there something wrong with your brain that won't make you laugh?"

"They also said that I can't make movies well. If I really couldn't, would there be so many box office? If you want to be good, then you can do it!"

…

In just one morning, Feng Xiaogang posted hundreds of angry posts on Weibo, arguing with netizens and film critics who wrote negative reviews. It was a lively scene!

Many netizens who like to watch the excitement began to follow his footsteps, either playing a good role or playing a bad role, anyway, they were all kinds of ridicule.

The final result was that on the fifth day of the film's release, the box office plummeted by 40 million, from 72.86 million to 30.39 million!

Netizens will not tolerate Feng Xiaogang and get scolded for telling the truth. If they continue to support "Private Customization", what is the difference between riding a horse and a dog?

At the same time, with the plummeting reputation, Huayi not only failed to make any money, but actually lost money!

In fact, the reputation of the film had already begun to decline when the premiere of "Personal Tailor" was held before its release, and when Feng Xiaogang and netizens quarreled, it directly triggered the "blood collapse effect".

Huayi's stock price fell by more than 20% from the 17th to the 23rd, and its market value evaporated by more than 8 billion!

In this case, even if the box office of "Personal Tailor" can still usher in a wave of rebound, it can't cover up the plunge in stock prices.

On the other hand, the stock prices of several listed companies headed by Guangguang in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" have all ushered in a "soaring" trend.

People can be angry to death, and the same is true for movies.

Both were released during the Lunar New Year holiday, and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" not only successfully broke through 1 billion in box office, but also had a good reputation.

On the other hand, the reputation of "Personal Tailor" plummeted, and the box office also dropped sharply by 40 million.

With such a comparison, the strong sense of gap suddenly appeared!

On his way to attend the premiere of New Police Story 2013, Chen Fei met Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei, the "good partners" again.

Unlike the smiling faces at the premiere of Private Tailor, the two were in a very low mood at this time.

Looking around, Chen Fei even saw the full sorrow and the unresolvable boredom from the two.

Under pressure from the outside world, Feng Xiaogang has deleted all those offensive remarks, but his behavior did not bring the box office back to life.

After 30.39 million, the box office plummeted by 10 million, falling to 20.87 million.

Huayi's stock price is still falling, and there is no end in sight!

Chen Fei did not pay too much attention to the two. After looking around, he led Liu Yifei to Wanda Pictures.

All the main creators gathered around Ye Ning at this time, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but everyone had a smile on their faces.

However, after walking a few steps, a person suddenly appeared in front of Chen Fei.

"Mr. Zhong? What's up?"

Looking at Zhong Lifang who was blocking his way, Chen Fei had already guessed something, but he was not very interested in it.

Zhong Lifang had some hope on her face: "Mr. Chen, can I spare some time to chat?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Yifei said in a low voice: "I'll go find Tiantian first, you guys chat."

"Well, I'll go over later."

Chen Fei responded, and then followed Zhong Lifang to the side.

Not surprisingly, what came out of her mouth was still the topic of "listing".

Xiao Ma is probably desperate and wants to go public with Feiyue Films, merge the two companies together, and guarantee Chen Fei's right to speak...

"Mr. Zhong." Chen Fei interrupted Zhong Lifang's endless chatter: "I'm sorry, Feiyue Films is not short of money, and we have no intention of going public. I think it's fine now."

Although she had expected Chen Fei to refuse, Zhong Lifang still couldn't hide her disappointment.

Before that, she had actually talked with the heads of Huayi, Bona, Orange Sky, and Guangguang, but unfortunately, the final result was not ideal.

LeTV did have the intention to cooperate, but Jia Yueting's lion-like mouth scared her directly.

As for Alibaba and Tencent, they are even more man-eating tigers. Xiao Ma is not good enough in front of them.

After directly refusing, Chen Fei turned and left.

China is not like foreign countries. He doesn't want to be controlled by others, so not going public is the best choice.

What's more, Feiyue Film and Television has money and people, so there is no need to go through the process of listing.

Huayi wants to make money from the stock market and develop their real estate economy, but Feiyue Film and Television has no projects in this area, so there is no need to bother.

Seeing Chen Fei coming over, Wang Changtian greeted him with a smile and asked in a low voice: "She is in a hurry, where did she go to get the doctor?"

"Hehe." Chen Fei smiled: "She obviously found the wrong doctor, I can't treat this kind of disease."

If Xiaoma fails to go public, it will have to bear more than 1 billion debts.

At this time, no one will be willing to lend a hand, and not to add insult to injury is already very good.

After greeting Chen Long, Jing Tian, ​​Ye Ning and the official group, Chen Fei came to the front row at Lu Zheng's invitation.

"After watching the movie, you have to express your opinions and let us take advantage of your popularity."

"Is it convenient?"

Fade Chen asked back, his eyes fell on several people in uniform.

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned and turned to look at Ye Ning.

"Forget it." Ye Ning lowered his voice and reminded: "There are many restrictions in the movie. I even omitted the media interview session, and I won't do the guest interview."

"Okay."

Everyone fell silent and started watching the movie.

Compared with the previous versions of "Police Story", this version seems to be much more conventional. Chen Long's action scenes are no longer as glorious as before, and it is a bit more sad to watch.

However, from Fei Chen's point of view, this movie is much better than "Private Tailor".

It may not be as good as the former in terms of box office performance, but the story is very full, not as empty and chaotic as the former.

After the movie screening, Fei Chen found Liu Ye and asked about the relevant matters of the filming of "Ghost Blowing Light 2".

"The crew has been suspended for the past few days. Director Ning Hao is a judge of this Berlin International Film Festival and has already gone to select the nominated films in advance."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Chen Fei almost forgot about it. No wonder he didn't see Ning Hao at the premiere today.

While the two were chatting, Chen Long suddenly came over: "Chen Fei, everyone in the industry says that you have a unique vision, and your ability to predict box office is even better. Why don't you help analyze how much box office this film can get?"

As soon as these words came out, many people around him pricked up their ears, and even those in uniform turned their attention here.

Chen Fei didn't refuse at all. After scanning Liu Ye, Chen Long, and Jing Tian, ​​he replied: "Breaking 500 million is definitely not a problem. If the publicity in the later stage keeps up, it is possible to have a higher prospect."

With two first-tier male actors and one first-tier actress, and the quality of the movie is not bad, it will definitely be no problem to make money.

After listening to his words, many smiling faces suddenly appeared on the scene.

The next day, "New Police Story 2013" was officially released.

At the same time, although the daily new box office of "Private Customization" increased slightly, it was only 24.05 million.

At this time, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", which has been in theaters for 11 days, still has a daily new box office of over 62.35 million, and the total box office has climbed to 1.2 billion.

Not surprisingly, there was another exclamation in the industry.

When Chen Fei said "1.3 billion bottom line" before, everyone thought it was a box office of 1.3 billion a month, but they never thought that this goal would be achieved in just over 10 days.

Unlike the excitement at Feiyue Film and Television, the atmosphere at Huayi was very bad.

In the office, Wang Zhonglei was angrily recounting the reply given to him by the film bureau: "I had already submitted the application materials for the secret key when the movie was released.

At first, they were still rejecting it on the grounds that the materials did not meet the requirements. Yesterday, they responded directly saying that "Private Customization" did not meet the conditions for extending the secret key. Isn't this treating us like monkeys? "

Listening to these words, Wang Zhongjun's face gradually became very ugly.

"Didn't you ask? Which condition is not met?"

The failure of "Earthquake" to break 700 million at the box office has always been a big pain in the hearts of the two brothers. Now that "Private Customization" finally has a chance, they will naturally not give up this opportunity.

As long as they can successfully extend the secret key, coupled with their "secret operations", breaking 700 million will definitely be possible.

But now the first step is stuck, and the subsequent steps cannot proceed at all!

"I asked." Wang Zhonglei's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver: "I invited a person in charge to the club, and after serving delicious food and drinks all night, he advised us not to waste our efforts.

The bureau now attaches great importance to the two movies "Taking Tiger Mountain" and "The Martian" and is planning to proactively grant extension keys to these two movies. "

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhongjun's expression was complicated.

What they can't accomplish even if they rush to work, others can enjoy the success just by sitting like this.

How can I reason with this horse?

"call……"

After waiting for a while, Wang Zhongjun finally suppressed the depression in his heart: "Since the application cannot be approved, then try your best. Tell Feng Xiaogang to focus all his energy on the Spring Festival Gala and the movie in the near future. He is no longer responsible.

Also, asking him to read less online comments and quarrel with those netizens and film critics is totally outweighing the gains! "

…

Feiyue Film and Television, in the chairman's office.

Chen Fei was drinking tea while reading the emails sent back from Hollywood.

The voting for the nomination list of the 86th Academy Awards has begun. As long as everyone from the Volton Films faction is qualified to vote, they will naturally choose "Nowhere".

Now we are waiting for the final nomination results to be announced. If nothing else, Michael Mann will definitely occupy a place.

In addition, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", which has attracted industry attention, has also officially entered Hollywood's December schedule.

However, under the premise that there were no other competitors in the same period, this movie still did not achieve high box office results.

The box office on the first day was only 31.19 million U.S. dollars, and the first three-day weekend was only 73.64 million U.S. dollars, which is a huge gap from breaking 100 million.

On the fourth day, the daily new box office dropped to 6.2 million US dollars, which blinded a lot of people!

According to Natasha, the total investment in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" jointly produced by New Line, MGM, and Warner Bros. has soared to US$200 million.

If the film's subsequent box office success in other countries does not improve much, this series of films may officially come to an end.

"Buzz buzz..."

The cell phone that suddenly started vibrating on the table caught Chen Fei's attention.

After picking it up and taking a look, he pressed the connect button: "James, if my calculation is correct, it should be just 2 a.m. in Los Angeles, right? Did you stay up late again?"

"Haha." Wen Ziren's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Fei, there is a very important scene tonight. I just finished filming it."

"Hmm? Then what? Did you call me just to tell me the good news?"

"No, there is one more thing." Wen Ziren changed the subject and said, "Didn't you specifically tell me to invite Paul Walker to guest star? Now that his scenes have been filmed, do you have any other instructions?"

Hearing the name Paul Walker, Chen Fei was slightly stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is he okay now?"

Wen Ziren replied, "Of course, he is great. He just invited me to go racing with him."

"Haha, okay, since the guest star is over, let him go."

After chatting for a few more sentences, the two ended the call.

Putting down the phone, Chen Fei leaned back subconsciously.

The moment he leaned on the chair, he felt a full sense of accomplishment in his heart!

This wave of rebirth was not in vain. Because of his influence, Hu Ge and Paul Walker did not suffer the impact of the car accident. Thinking about it, I am still very happy.

Perhaps the future life trajectory of the two will be greatly changed because of his influence, but it is much better than getting injured or even seeing God!
