Chapter 671: The Top Star Who Can’t Be Made Popular, Is the Radical Faction Too Conservative?

Bona has actually been miserable these past two years.

Previously, because of the acceptance of China Star, two bad movies were released in succession, which caused the company's stock price to plummet.

Even in this year's Lunar New Year holiday, Bona, a listed company, did not choose to follow up, but silently watched from the sidelines as Feiyue Film and Television competed with Huayi.

But, Yu Dong is not a simple person.

The fact that he was able to build Bona and successfully list it on the Nasdaq has proven that his mind and means are much higher than ordinary people.

No, when the company's profits plummeted in 2013, he finally came up with his trump card.

This morning, he joined hands with Han Han to hold a media conference directly in the company's large conference hall, officially announcing that both parties would work together to create brilliance in the future!

That afternoon, media reports poured out:

"Bona joins hands with young writer Han Han to launch a big-screen masterpiece!"

"It is reported that this will be Han Han's first career-changing journey from writer to director. He will direct his big-screen debut "The End of Time" written by himself!"

"After Guo Jingming, another young writer came across the field and embarked on a road full of thorns."

"Yu Dong said at the press conference that "We Will See You Again" will be cautious in casting, and only choose the right actors with good acting skills, rather than actors who are famous but have awkward acting skills."

"Han Han said at the press conference that his idol is director Chen Fei. On the road of screenwriting and directing, he will always follow in the footsteps of director Chen Fei. He does not seek to stand side by side, but only seeks to look forward to..."

The emergence of Guo Jingming undoubtedly gave the "writers world" a good start.

There have been rumors in the industry that Han Han will also join the director industry, but unfortunately no one has confirmed it.

Now as the media conference begins, Han Han is naturally announcing to the outside world, "I'm here."

Interestingly, Yu Dong also mocked Guo Jingming, which immediately attracted a lot of attention!

Han Han and Guo Jingming have always competed with each other, but now both parties have crossed over from the novel circle to the director circle, which undoubtedly gives many fans a new direction for the war.

Immediately, fans of the two families took notice of the news and immediately set off a wave of fierce competition on the Internet.

Chen Fei really didn't expect that Han Han could actually bring the heat to him.

Looking at the various curses under his personal Weibo account, he only found it quite funny.

It's obvious that both parties are targeting the 'fan group' market, and if nothing else, the box office of Han Han's debut movie will not be too bad.

In addition, Jia Zhangke also said before that he will participate in a guest appearance, which confirms that the quality of this movie will not be worse than "Tiny Times".

Now fans from both sides can only have a small dispute at best. When the movie is officially released, there will probably be an even more sensational controversy!

"Times have really changed! In the past, I only acted, and if I was good, I would direct. If not, I would switch from photography, art, screenwriting, etc. to becoming a director. Now, there are even people who write novels! It's really eye-opening!"

Listening to Jiang Xueruan's sighing voice next to him, Chen Fei smiled and said, "What does this mean? The President of the United States is still an actor and a director. It's not surprising that a novel writer turns to a director."

"Huh? The president is still an actor?"

"Hmm, what do you think?" Chen Fei said in a joking tone: "It's not easy to be the president. In addition to supporting your family, you also have to save money to hire bodyguards. Otherwise, you are very likely to be assassinated. Financial pressure No smaller than ordinary people..."

Jiang Xuerun was stunned by his words. Is Hollywood so magical?

The two were chatting here. In the middle of the scene, Zheng Xiaolong, who was behind the guide tube, suddenly picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the shooting scene: "Ka! I announce that the TV series "Red Sorghum" has officially been completed!"

The next second, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the scene, and all the staff shouted selflessly, venting their hard work in the past three months.

"Let's go, we can go there."

Chen Fei waved to Chen Fei and walked towards the crew first.

"The shooting is finally finished, you can go home to celebrate the New Year!" Zhou Xun changed his crying look during the shooting and shouted carelessly.

"What year are you celebrating as a single? Do you think you are Zhu Yawen! I have a wife to take me home. Do you have a husband?"

Chen Fei's words directly caused Zhou Xun to roll his eyes and grin. If there weren't so many people at the scene, she would have taken action!

"Sister Xun, don't be angry. Why don't you go to my house to celebrate the New Year? I'll ask Jiani to cook for you."

Zhu Yawen hugged her wife and bared her big teeth, looking very happy.

"Killing dogs, right? Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out of here! What's wrong with me being single? I have my own freedom. I will go to the Maldives tomorrow and I won't come back!"

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Zhou Xun's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

That evening, the crew of "Red Sorghum" announced the news of the filming completion and also held a wrapping dinner.

The next day, relevant news appeared on the front page of entertainment news.

"Director Chen Fei made a surprise appearance on the set of "Red Sorghum" to congratulate the series on completion and shared a wrapping dinner with the entire cast."

"Director Zheng Xiaolong excitedly announced that "Red Sorghum" is expected to premiere on Youku platform in the second half of the year, so stay tuned."

"Shen Jiani showed up at the Red Sorghum crew to welcome Zhu Yawen home. It was revealed that the two would go to Sanya for vacation to make up for the missing honeymoon period."

...

After going there that day, Chen Fei took a plane back to the capital that night.

However, just after landing at the airport, when he turned off the flight mode of his phone, he found a missed call in the caller ID column.

After thinking about it, he called back.

"Hello? Mr. Yang?"

"Mr. Chen was on the plane before, right? Haha, I was wondering why I couldn't get through."

The two chatted for a while, and only got to the point after more than ten minutes.

"Mr. Chen, I called this time to ask, when is the best time to release the fourth part of the Ip Man series?"

"Ip Man 4"?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned, and replied subconsciously: "The third part has just been released. At least one year should be allowed to collect all the peripheral income from the third part. It is not good to be too anxious, which will cause certain damage to the subsequent potential of the movie."

"Oh, so, then all right."

Yang Shoucheng did not say much, and soon hung up the phone.

Looking at the interface of ending the call, Chen Fei suddenly felt confused.

"What's the situation? Aren't you preparing to shoot "The King of Macau 2"? Why did you suddenly call to talk about "Ip Man 4"? "

With doubts in his heart, Chen Fei opened the entertainment news website and checked the recent status of Yinghuang.

Soon he found out that on the 3rd of this month, Yinghuang actually invested in and released a movie called "Fire Heroes"!

The movie starred Nicholas Tse, the top star of Yinghuang, but the box office was really disappointing.

The box office on the first day was 7.53 million, and it has only been more than 60 million since its release, and the daily new box office has fallen below 500,000, and it is always facing the risk of being removed from the screen.

After seeing these news, Chen Fei finally understood why Yang Shoucheng suddenly called to inquire about the relevant situation of "Ip Man 4".

If nothing unexpected happens, half of the money earned from "Ip Man 3" is estimated to be invested in this "Fire Heroes".

For the company's future operation, continuing to invest in more profitable movies is undoubtedly the best choice.

Sometimes, Chen Fei is actually quite puzzled.

He doesn't understand why Ying Huang is so keen on supporting Nicholas Tse. After all, this buddy seems to have never shown that he can withstand the box office from beginning to end.

It's a pity for Mr. Chen. If he hadn't retired, his hope of rising would definitely be much higher than Nicholas Tse!

In addition to having some ability in playing villains, the latter is really not worthy of being the leading actor of a movie.

…

Several movies that are preparing to compete in the Spring Festival are being promoted vigorously. There are no blockbusters to be released recently, which gives other low-cost movies a chance.

That morning, Chen Fei actually saw a movie called "Balala the Fairies: The Magic Trial".

When he saw those gorgeous makeups, he felt an inexplicable shock!

When did it start? Are all the demons already dancing wildly?

This is the case in the film industry, and the TV industry is also not far behind.

That afternoon, Yu Zheng, who is known as the "originator of remakes of bad dramas", personally attended the opening ceremony of the new drama to promote it.

With the support of Starlight, the relevant news quickly occupied the front page headlines.

"The costume TV series "Legend of Ban Shu", jointly produced by CCTV, Dongyang Film and Television, and Starlight Brilliant, and produced by Yu Zheng Studio, has officially started filming in Hengdian Film and Television City."

"First-line actress Jing Tian joins a TV series for the first time and will play the heroine "Ban Shu", showing the charm of a woman."

"The actors who partner with Jing Tian are Zhang Zhehan, Fu Xingbo, and Li Jiahang, all of whom are well-known artists in the industry."

"It is reported that the investment in the play has been close to nine figures. One of the main scenes, the shooting scene of the school, is in Han Street in the Qin Palace scenic area in Hengdian Film and Television City. The cost of setting this scene is more than 1 million yuan. In addition, the play also has a palace scene in the studio of Huaxia Culture Park."

"Jing Tian said in an interview: In order to play this role well, she has made a lot of efforts. Not only does she have to speak classical Chinese, but she also has to use classical Chinese freely and skillfully when teaching, which is extremely difficult!"

Looking at a bunch of news on the Internet, the industry once again felt the power of "resource coffee".

Whenever she appears on screen, she is either the leading actress or an important supporting role in a big production. The supply of resources is simply amazing!

Someone made a simple statistics. Jing Tian has already confirmed three projects this year.

In addition to "Legend of Ban Shu", there is also a domestic film "Macau Wind and Cloud 2" and a Sino-US co-production "Pacific Rim 2".

In addition, there are all kinds of high-end endorsements and brand activities, countless.

Many people found in a trance that it seems that the company Xingguang Canlan was opened specifically for Jing Tian, ​​just so that she can go faster and further in the entertainment industry!

The gun is always aimed at the "head bird". Overnight, the black material about Jing Tian suddenly increased.

Lu Zheng did not ask for help or anything, so Chen Fei naturally would not go over with a smug face.

It just so happens that the company is preparing to hold an annual meeting these two days, and he, the chairman, is very busy!

"Xixi, how about... just stop here tonight? There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, let's take a break first?"

At 4 o'clock in the morning, faced with the slender legs that kept winding up, Chen Fei couldn't stand it anymore.

Starting around ten o'clock in the evening, the two of them have almost never stopped and have been fighting until now!

"No!" Liu Yifei stretched out her hand, pushed back the wet hair that was close to her forehead, and said while biting her teeth: "I want to make sure that you can't do anything bad within three days."

Liu Yifei was not going to get involved in Feiyue Film and Television's annual meeting because she wanted to accompany Liu Xiaoli back to her hometown.

However, since there will definitely be a lot of vixens from South Korea at tomorrow's annual meeting, she plans to squeeze Chen Fei dry in advance to ensure that he will not be seduced by those vixens.

"Nothing bad can be done anymore."

Chen Fei had a wry smile on his face. The intensity of this exercise was so great that he even doubted whether he would be swollen tomorrow...

After Liu Yifei checked it for a while, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's let you go today. When I come back, we will continue..."

Before she could finish her words, she fell into a deep sleep after touching the pillow.

For a person who has to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day, this kind of staying up late and fighting is undoubtedly a huge test. Fortunately, Liu Yifei exercises every day, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.

…

What is different from last year is that in addition to South Korean girl groups such as Girls' Generation, f(x), and T-are, Feiyue Film and Television's annual conference this year also has some domestic singers.

When singers such as Zhou Jielun, Lin Junjie, and Xu Song appeared at the annual meeting one by one, they immediately attracted the attention of countless media.

The annual meeting lasted for four hours. There were factual reports from relevant media both outside and inside the venue, attracting the attention of many netizens.

At this moment, the hot search headline on Weibo has already become "Feiyue Film and Television Annual Conference Site".

Under the hot search terms, many people are participating in discussions and hot discussions:

"Good guy, those long legs that fill the screen are so eye-catching."

"These girl groups from South Korea can dance. Every move seems to jump into my heart. Oh yeah! Please dance on my heart!"

"The brother upstairs went too far. Hehe, lick Zhiyan's feet for me."

"Song Qian is so beautiful! She is my goddess! I am going to order a doll modeled after her..."

"What the hell? There's actually Zhou Jie Lun? Isn't this a big deal? How much money does it cost to invite so many domestic and foreign celebrities?"

The annual meeting officially came to an end at 12 o'clock, but the discussion on the Internet about the Feiyue Film and Television Annual Meeting has not stopped.

When the figure of 20 million was announced, there were bursts of exclamations in the industry and even the entire Internet!

"It's just an annual meeting, but it actually cost more than 20 million. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

"As expected, it is the first company in China to produce a work with a box office of over 2 billion. This level of awesomeness is simply awesome!"

"I'm convinced. I'm convinced. Isn't Director Chen too cruel?"

…

In order to be able to lead the Spring Festival, Chen Fei no longer cares about the life and death of other companies. In the past few days, the name "Feiyue Film and Television" has been dominating the hot search headlines on major entertainment news websites.

The morning after the annual meeting, the crew of "The Martian" announced that it would hold a grand premiere event at the Bird's Nest and invite stars, entertainers, and actors from all over the domestic entertainment industry to watch the movie.

The entire Bird's Nest venue has a total of 91,000 seats, and they are only available until they are full!

When the news was announced, the entire entertainment industry was shocked!

Who has seen this kind of gameplay before?

It was just a movie premiere, but more than 90,000 people were invited to watch it. Is this a restart of the 2008 Olympic Games?

For a time, countless people called to ask for confirmation!

"It's not that everyone is invited. We have prepared a list in advance, which includes our partners and their families over the years, as well as our actors and artists, actors, production companies, and brokerage companies we have worked with, as well as It will be given as a feedback benefit to some viewers and fans who have been supporting Feiyue Film and Television’s works in recent years..."

Throughout the morning, Chen Fei received calls from many companies including the Space Administration, China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda... including the Film Bureau.

Chen Fei had already informed his partners in advance that he wanted to make the premiere of "The Martian" bigger.

At first, the group headed by Han Sanping did not have any objections.

When it comes to movie premieres, the bigger the event, the better.

But what they didn't expect was that Chen Fei would be so serious, he actually wanted to go to the Bird's Nest to hold the premiere, and even invited the entire domestic entertainment industry to watch the movie!

This gesture is not ordinary!

That afternoon, under the summons from above, Chen Fei appeared in Tong Gang's office.

When he pushed open the door and walked in, he was shocked to see a group of film and publicity leaders including La Beikang.

A group of people stared at him with sharp eyes, as if they were going to hold a three-chamber trial. It was so grand!

Facing these people, Chen Fei was not timid at all. After sitting down, without waiting for others to take the initiative to ask, he directly told why he wanted to make the premiere so grand.

""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has currently exceeded 2.1 billion in box office. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not be a problem to exceed 2.2 billion on the day of official release.

Since a commercial movie with a main theme of only 150 million yuan can achieve such high box office results, it stands to reason that the science fiction blockbuster "The Martian" with an investment of 750 million yuan should not be worse than it, right?

And the reason why I want to make the premiere so big is to tell the world that our domestic science fiction films are not bad either!

Therefore, in addition to inviting people from the domestic film and television industry to watch the movie, I will also go to Hollywood to send out invitations to welcome Hollywood superstars and famous directors to participate in the world premiere of "The Martian."

I am no longer satisfied with the domestic box office of RMB 2 billion. My new goal will be the domestic box office of RMB 3 billion! "

Chen Fei's speech lasted for nearly twenty minutes.

When he impassionedly shouted the number "3 billion", the eyes of a group of people, including Tong Gang, flashed, as if they had seen the arrival of the "new era of domestic film history."

"Just go ahead and do it, we will fully support you."

When Tong Gang said these words, Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction.

Sometimes you just have to give these people a boost.

They also clamored that they were radicals all day long. From the perspective of Chen Fei, a conservative, the daily behavior of these radicals was so conservative that he couldn't stand it anymore.

If you don’t give it a try, how can you beat Hollywood?
