Chapter 670 Hot Search! Hot Search! Dominating the Hot Search List for Many Consecutive Days!
The dinner on Weibo night did not end until 11 o'clock.
When Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked back, they could see many celebrities posting on Weibo, either handing out award-winning certificates and trophies, or posting photos with various celebrities.
Looking around, the ones that appear most frequently are undoubtedly Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.
Although the two did not present or receive awards tonight, they were the most popular guests and attracted a lot of attention.
Especially those artists from the third tier and beyond, when they saw Chen Fei, their eyes turned red and they wanted to eat him alive!
In addition, a large number of fans have also emerged. On the premise of supporting their own idol artists, they are also working hard to overthrow their competitors.
The whole Weibo is a mess, it’s a complete mess.
However, after just over an hour, this situation changed.
Because the entire entertainment industry's attention was attracted by a piece of news that came back from abroad!
"The Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee officially announced today the nomination list for the main competition unit, panorama unit, short film competition and other units of the 64th Berlin International Film Festival."
"The film "Fireworks in the Day" produced by Feiyue Film and Television, produced and supervised by Chen Guofu, directed by Director Lu Yang, starring Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei, and Wang Jingchun has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit and will compete with "Massage" directed by Lou Ye Golden Bear Award at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.”
"Earlier, "Dog 13" directed by Chinese director Cao Baoping won the International Jury Special Mention Award in the Crystal Bear section. This undoubtedly made a good start for Chinese-language films to participate in this Berlin International Film Festival. , I hope Chinese-language films can shine in Berlin again..."
In just half an hour, news about Berlin dominated the headlines, temporarily suppressing the popularity of the Weibo night.
At this moment, even though it was already midnight, the film industry was still in a state of excitement!
Two Chinese-language films have been successfully shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival. Doesn’t this mean that the hope of winning awards has been raised again?
When it comes to the most exciting person, it must be Chen Guofu!
Even though it was late at night, he still posted more than a dozen Weibo posts and solemnly thanked many people, among which Chen Fei and Feiyue Film and Television were mentioned many times!
Since being "fired" from Huayi, he has endured a lot of pressure from the industry in the past year.
According to Wang Zhonglei, his level is too low and he no longer has the ability to lead Huayi to greater heights in the film and television industry.
The appearance of these words was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chen Guofu!
There are even rumors about him in the industry, saying that he is too old, his production and director skills have seriously declined, and he is no longer able to be reused.
Facing these voices, Chen Guofu naturally felt very aggrieved.
He knew in his heart that Huayi was looking for a scapegoat for their failure, and he naturally became the best target.
But he refused to admit defeat!
He knew the reason behind this. He understood that Hua Yi was deliberately making him take the blame, and even wanted to nail him to a pillar of shame and completely destroy his reputation.
In the eyes of the outside world, the failure of many Huayi films last year was all due to him, Chen Guofu.
And now, as "Fireworks in the Day" has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition, he, the producer, naturally plays an important role!
At this moment, the rumors about his poor ability and declining level have been disproven.
And if he can successfully lead the film to win awards, then his status in the industry will skyrocket and he will successfully be promoted to a top producer!
"Hahahaha, it's so cool! It's so fun to ride on a horse!"
Seeing the words "Chen Guofu" appearing constantly on the Internet, he felt inexplicably proud.
This moment belongs to "Fireworks in the Day" and to him, Chen Guofu!
There were still many people awake in the middle of the night, so the Weibo posts of Chen Guofu, Lu Yang, Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei, Wang Xuebing and others were full of congratulatory messages.
"Mr. Chen, I must express my gratitude to you..."
Chen Guofu called Chen Fei overnight, his words full of excitement.
"Haha, it's still early. When you bring me the Golden Bear trophy from Berlin, I will hold a celebration banquet for you!"
Chen Fei said very boldly, if "Fireworks in the Day" can win the award, then Feiyue Film and Television will have three golden bears and one silver bear.
Looking around, who in the entire domestic entertainment industry can have such terrifying strength?
"I will definitely work hard. I will take the crew to Berlin tomorrow and start promotion in advance..."

As the saying goes, some people are happy and others are worried.
Different from the celebrations at Feiyue Film and Television, the expressions on the faces of brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun in Huayi Company were wonderful.
Even though it was already midnight, the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all.
Looking at the words "Chen Guofu" and "Fireworks in the Day" that are constantly emerging on the Internet, the brothers have an inexplicable feeling that if they steal the chicken, they will lose the rice.
Chen Guofu was obviously from Huayi, but now he became the director of a rival company, and he also helped the rival company obtain the qualification to participate in the main competition section of the Berlin International Film Festival.
The more I think about this horse, the more frustrated and angry I become!
People, even if they "accidentally" make a mistake, are usually very tough-talking and will not admit their mistakes at all.
Wang Zhonglei is such a person.
"Hmph! This Chen Guofu! He was always sneaky and perfunctory when he was at Huayi. Now that he has left Huayi, he has become more serious about his work."
How could Wang Zhongjun not understand what his brother meant? He immediately replied: "You can reveal some information appropriately when you are interviewed by the media. Don't let Chen Guofu have an easy time!"
"Well, I understand." Wang Zhonglei responded, and his face suddenly became gloomy again: "The stock price will definitely be affected tomorrow."
For a listed company, the loss of talent will definitely lead to fluctuations in the stock price.
When Chen Guofu left, the stock price fell a lot. Thanks to Gu Changwei's joining later, the stock price was pulled back.
And now, the "talents" of his own company have made remarkable achievements on the opponent's side, which undoubtedly reveals the failure of Huayi's decision-making.
Just like when Ge You signed the contract with Yinghuang, Huayi's stock price will inevitably be affected.
"No problem." Wang Zhongjun smiled: "In a few days, Huayi will hold its 20th anniversary shareholders' meeting. We can then announce the follow-up plans, which will definitely lead to a reverse growth in the stock price!"
The two brothers were a little excited when they mentioned this.
Especially Wang Zhonglei's expression, which was full of expectation and confidence, as if he was going to witness history!
However, when the day came, along with the announcement of the Berlin International Film Festival nomination list, another piece of news came directly and dominated the headlines of major entertainment news websites!
"Hot news, the main theme commercial blockbuster "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Han Sanping, Jiang Wen, Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and other actors, has successfully exceeded 2 billion yuan in total box office on the 34th day of its release, and has been fixed at 2.034 billion yuan!"
"Good news: the Chinese-language film market has officially entered the 2 billion yuan box office era!"
"Director Chen Fei has once again broken the domestic film box office record. After becoming the first director of the 1 billion yuan box office club, he has once again successfully promoted to the director of the 2 billion box office club!"
"The sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian" starring Chen Fei is about to be released, and the second movie that will enter the 2 billion box office club is about to hit strongly!"
"There are 14 days left before "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is released, and the box office is expected to exceed 2.2 billion! Set a new record!"
First, it was Weibo Night, followed by the Berlin International Film Festival, and then the movie box office broke 2 billion...
In just one day, the entire film and television industry felt like being "thunderbolt" and "refreshing three views".
Unconsciously, domestic films have entered the era of 2 billion box office. Isn't this too fast?
In a trance, everyone suddenly realized that, let alone the 2 billion box office era, just the 1 billion box office era, except for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directed by Zhou Xingchi, other 1 billion box office movies seem to be related to Chen Fei.
Either the movie directed by him, or simply the movie he participated in the investment or production.
In addition, other domestic film production companies seem to have not produced even a movie with a box office of 1 billion!
In short, the progress of domestic films has always been controlled by Feiyue Film and Television!
The day of the 16th passed very quickly.
China Film issued three announcements in a row, highly praising the group's fruitful achievements in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", and at the same time recognized the great contributions made by the two chairman of China Film, La Beikang and Han Sanping, and also looked forward to the expectations for "The Martian".
Even the Film Bureau sent a rare congratulatory letter to celebrate the successful entry of domestic films into the 2 billion box office era!
You know, for China Film and the Film Bureau, these are all real achievements, enough to keep the incumbent leaders in office for a year or two.
What shocked the industry was that even in the evening news broadcast, there was a 20-second report on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".
This movie is really too "correct".
Under the premise of the main theme movie, it has achieved such excellent results. Isn't it a big compliment?
Even in the future field of cultural exports, this is also a achievement and template worth writing about.
However, compared with the external influence, the industry pays more attention to the income of this movie!
A long time ago, Feiyue Film and Television signed a bet agreement with major theaters.
The agreement clearly stated that commercial films invested by Feiyue Film and Television in the future will be divided based on the bottom line of 700 million box office. For every 100 million box office increase, the division ratio will increase by 1.5%, and the final upper limit will be 48%.
Now, this profit-sharing condition is undoubtedly met.
Let's calculate based on the 2 billion box office, after removing a series of external factors such as film special funds, business tax, investment share, etc., the net profit of the film has definitely exceeded 900 million, or even 1 billion!
This is just the box office revenue. If you add a series of revenues such as patch ads, foreign copyrights or box office sharing, the final revenue of this film is likely to exceed 1.5 billion!
When this number appeared on the desks of many production companies, the two listed companies headed by Bona and Huayi were the first to remain silent.
This revenue is already equivalent to the film and television investment income of the two companies combined in the next year!
What makes them very envious is that Feiyue Film and Television actually has such a movie!
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was so powerful that they could not imagine how terrible the box office revenue would be after the release of "The Martian" with an investment of 720 million yuan.
…
China was shocked by the fact that "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was nominated for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival and the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" exceeded 2 billion yuan, but only one day later, the news of the Oscars came back.
"Excerpt from the Oscar Academy Daily:
"Nomadland", written by Chinese director Chen Fei and directed by Michael Mann, was successfully nominated for this year's Academy Awards.
The nominations include: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Photography!"
At this moment, the film industry exploded again!
You know, before this, "The Hunt" and "Dallas Buyers Club" directed by Chen Fei had both won the Best Picture and Best Director awards.
And now, the work written by him has once again been nominated for six awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
This means that this movie is likely to win the grand prize again!
In front of this news, other news about Chen Kaige's "Search" failing to get nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award seemed so insignificant.
For a time, the Internet was boiling again!
Chen Fei's Weibo was filled with various congratulations:
"Congratulations to Director Chen, the screenwriter's work was nominated for the regular Oscar award again!"
"Haha, there is no harm without comparison. This is the third time that Chen Kaige has been rejected by the Oscars, right?"
"Congratulations to Director Chen, see you on the Oscar red carpet!"
"Chen Fei's screenwriting skills are indeed strong, I am very convinced of this, but it's a pity that he didn't get the nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film. If it was given to the film "Earthquake" directed by me, I believe it would have made some achievements!"
"Congratulations to Chen Fei, and I would also like to inform you that "One Step Away" will compete in Cannes. Everyone, please wish me success!"
For three consecutive days, all entertainment news websites, including Weibo, were inseparable from Feiyue Film and Television, which made many production companies in the industry envious.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat!
Under the premise of being constantly dominated by hot searches, it is not surprising that Feiyue Film and Television has been targeted by many water armies and countless media.
The Spring Festival is originally a popular period in the film and television industry, but all the hot searches have been taken away by Feiyue Film and Television. The producers behind other movies will certainly not give up, and it is inevitable that they will be besieged by the water army on the entire network.
Chen Fei doesn't mind this very much. With this opportunity, he can just use it to test the public relations level and public relations efficiency of Feiyue Film and Television.
However, all this is done under his supervision.
While accepting the test, we must also ensure that we will not encounter too fatal attacks.
...
I don’t know if the Film Bureau wants to give back or what, the next day, it suddenly announced to the public: "The animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" has been successfully reviewed."
For a time, the industry was boiling again!
"Despicable Me 2", which was released on the 10th, won a total of 180 million yuan in box office results in just one week.
The premiere of "Boonie Bears: Indiana Jones" on the 17th earned 31.99 million yuan at the box office on the day of its premiere.
All this indicates that the spring of animated films has arrived.
And now, "Big Fish and Begonia", produced by Feiyue Films, has successfully passed the review after its completion last month.
If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will definitely be released this year.
By then, other movies of the same period may be in trouble again!
At the same time, as the Spring Festival is approaching, several other highly anticipated Chinese New Year films have also come to an end.
"Personal Customization" finally ended with 680 million yuan, and that "New Police Story 2013" also ended successfully with a box office of 550 million yuan.
Feng Xiaogang, who is directing the Spring Festival Gala backstage, has once again become the object of ridicule in and out of the circle.
After "The Great Earthquake" won 690 million yuan at the box office, "Personal Customization" not only failed to break the 700 million box office curse, but was even 10 million lower than the former!
This is really fucking bad.
What makes Feng Xiaogang even more headache and depressed is that at the new "Golden Broom Award", "Private Tailor" directed by him, "The Secret: Fuchun Mountain Residence" and "Tiny Times" series won the Most Disappointing Film Award together.
He even successfully occupied one of the most disappointing director awards.
And the most disappointing screenwriter was successfully won by Wang Shuo with "Private Tailor".
There are a total of six awards, and "Private Tailor" won the three most important ones, which almost made Feng Xiaogang angry.
Fortunately, there was information from other film and television circles in the outside world, otherwise he would have been nailed to the pillar of shame!
That afternoon, Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" and Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" both announced that they had ushered in the final moment and officially entered the post-production stage.
For a time, the film industry was once again shocked!
If nothing unexpected happens, the works of these two great directors will surely be released this year.
In other words, other film companies will have to think carefully when setting the release dates for the films they invest in.
Once it meets these two movies, it is very likely to end up like an egg hitting a stone, and will end up in pieces.
However, just when everyone in the industry was paying attention to the films of those big directors, the one who was as famous as Guo Jingming suddenly announced that he would officially enter the director circle when the Chinese New Year was approaching!
For a time, the film and television industry once again set off a wave of hot discussions!
