Chapter 674: It’s Hard to Describe the Spring Festival Gala, and It Ended Successfully and Became a Member of the 2 Billion Box Office Club!

Chapter 674 The Spring Festival Gala is hard to describe, and it has come to an end... Successfully promoted to a member of the 2 billion box office club!

In the blink of an eye, time has come to January 30th.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Fei did not go to the company again, but decorated the courtyard with the old man.

The two went to the mall and bought a lot of couplets, blessing stickers, red paper, fruits, melon seeds, peanuts and other things for the New Year.

After stuffing a lot of purchased things into the back seat of the business car, Chen Fei said: "Come on, old man, I'll take you to eat hot pot."

"Hot pot?" The old man was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly think of taking me to eat hot pot? Don't you dislike spicy food since you were a child?"

"Let's eat clear soup."

As they talked, the two returned to the mall and went straight to the newly opened hot pot restaurant upstairs.

Going up the stairs, Chen Fei looked up and saw the very conspicuous four words "Hot No. 1".

At this time, there was a long queue at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

The old man didn't want to queue up: "So many people? Forget it, let's go back and cook."

"It's okay, I have a VIP pass, let's go directly to the private room."

While speaking, Chen Fei took out a VIP card that Huang Xiaoming gave him from his pocket.

After showing the card to the waiter, the two of them successfully entered the hot pot restaurant and went straight to the private room on the side.

This chain hot pot restaurant was jointly invested by Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbin, and Ren Quan. It has been very popular in the circle recently, and many celebrities are punching in to support it.

Chen Fei naturally also received an experience card from Huang Xiaoming. He happened to be on the way today, so he decided to come and try it.

The meal was over in just over half an hour. Unfortunately, Chen Fei didn't feel any special features in terms of ingredients and taste.

The taste was ordinary, the food was ordinary, and the soup base was also ordinary...

If the most unusual thing in the whole hot pot restaurant is probably the autographed photo of Huang Xiaoming, Li Bingbin, and Ren Quan.

The moment he walked out of the hot pot restaurant, Chen Fei had already given it a pass.

Whether it is a catering brand or a capital operation, delicious food is the bottom line.

If the taste is like this in the future, this hot pot restaurant may not be open for long and will be finished!

…

All the way back to the courtyard, the grandfather and grandson were surprised that there were many people in the courtyard that was empty before they left.

Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin…

“Why did you guys come here without saying a word?”

Chen Fei held a bag in one hand and looked at these people curiously.

Hu Ge ran over, took the things in the old man’s hand, and explained: “Hey, we are here to wish you a happy new year.”

With the help of several people, the things were quickly put into the warehouse.

Chen Fei did not treat them as outsiders, and greeted several people to paste window decorations and couplets together.

Half an hour later, Shu Chang, holding a couplet in his hand, scratched his head in confusion, "Huh? Something is wrong? How did we become tools?"

"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and do it, we still have to clean up the yard later."

Chen Fei directed several people without any hesitation, making them run back and forth.

"Hey, thanks to you guys coming, otherwise I would be the only one working."

"Brother Fei, I can't carry it!" Zhu Yawen tried hard to lift the table, but she couldn't do it after several attempts.

"How come you lost your strength just because you got married? Can't you go to bed early at night? You have dark circles under your eyes."

Liu Yifei: "???"

...

Chen Fei was not the kind of Zhou Ba Pi. Seeing that several tools were sweating profusely, he specially gave them two oranges and a handful of melon seeds, and told them to eat on the way.

"I won't keep you for dinner. Go back and have the New Year's Eve dinner. I'll treat you again if I have the chance."

"Tiantian, Shishi, Liying...bye!"

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang stood at the gate of the courtyard, waving their hands happily at the people in the distance.

They will have the New Year's Eve dinner together at Chen Fei's place tonight.

Liu Xiaoli has already returned to her hometown, while Liu Yifei has applied to stay in the capital and will go back to see her grandmother after the New Year's Eve.

As a mother, how could Liu Xiaoli not know what her daughter meant by her request.

After sighing that "a girl should not be kept at home", she bought a plane ticket and left the capital, giving up the opportunity to be a "light bulb".

As for Shu Chang...she is a girl without a father or a mother, and it doesn't matter where she spends the New Year.

It's more comfortable at Chen Fei's place. If she goes to her relatives' house, she doesn't know how she will be tossed.

A long time ago, she was asked to perform a show during the New Year's Eve dinner every year.

The relatives were eating delicious meals, while she was jumping around alone. This feeling was too uncomfortable.

After seeing off a few friends, Liu Yifei immediately jumped into the kitchen, shouting: "I'll go help grandpa."

"Can you cook?"

Chen Fei was very surprised. He had never seen this "untouched" girl move the stove.

Liu Yifei snorted and retorted in a low voice: "Don't underestimate me. If I can't cook, can I wash vegetables?"

Shu Chang covered his hands and giggled, and followed him into the kitchen.

Compared with Liu Yifei, she has good cooking skills!

……

Chen Fei didn't join in the fun. The kitchen was so small that it was too uncomfortable for four people to squeeze together.

He picked up his laptop and leisurely browsed the news.

It had been a few days since the premiere of "The Martian", and the online popularity had subsided a lot.

Other movies were also trying to catch up, using various promotional methods to perfection, which attracted a lot of attention.

Perhaps because there were too many negative topics about Zhen Zixuan on the Internet, the crew of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" urgently changed their promotional strategy and focused on Chow Yun-fat.

The Hong Kong media was so exaggerated that they even held a vote for netizens to choose who was the most box office-appealing person in this Spring Festival.

Chen Fei was naturally the first, and the second was Chow Yun-fat. Many fans felt that he would definitely bring extremely high box office revenue to this movie.

In addition, after a period of chaos and lows, there was finally new news from Xiaoma Pentium.

On the morning of the 30th, Xiaoma published a "Letter to the Film and Television Industry" on its official website and Weibo.

Something very surprising happened!

Jianyin Culture, as the capital party, did not kill Xiaoma and temporarily gave up the obligation for Xiaoma Pentium to fulfill its obligation to repurchase shares at a premium after the failure of the bet.

Even other investors have temporarily given up their actions against Xiaoma Pentium, seemingly ready to give them a chance.

As for the new chairman of Xiaoma, she is Li Ming's widow, and she will also serve as the general manager left by Zhong Lifang.

The announcement clearly stated: Xiaoma Pentium will continue to move forward and operate normally in the future, and all film and television businesses will not be affected and will operate as usual...

From the content of the announcement, Xiaoma seems to be the same Xiaoma as before, and it is still a top film and television company ranked in the forefront of the circle.

However, in the eyes of the industry, with the departure of Big Dog and Zhong Lifang, Xiaoma has long lost its former glory.

It seems that the company is still operating, but most of the businesses and projects have been sold or even snatched away by others.

In these cases, how can it be "operated normally"?

And the most important thing is that Xiaoma is a family business. Although it seems that the widow of Li Ming is in power now, whether she can hold this position is another matter.

As for the future of Xiaoma, many companies in the industry that have been eyeing it for a long time have actually sentenced it to death!

…

New Year's Eve is like a vivid picture scroll, slowly unfolding in everyone's heart.

Above the sky, the stars are inlaid on the deep blue sky like tiny diamonds, flashing gentle light.

And the world is another lively scene.

The big red lanterns are hung high in front of every household, like a passionate fire, igniting the passion of the festival.

The soft light in the window reflects the smiling faces, which is the warmth and happiness of family reunion.

The steaming hot food has been served on the table, and the TV screen is reflecting the upcoming Spring Festival Gala program, all of which confirms the beginning of the new year.

What surprised Chen Fei was that La Beikang called suddenly.

"Let me briefly inform you that the screening rate of "The Martian" will be the first among all the released movies tomorrow, with an average of about 45%. Each theater may make some adjustments, but the difference will not be too big..."

Although Chen Fei had already known this news in advance, he was still very grateful for La Beikang's personal call to him.

"I understand, Mr. La, I also wish you a happy new year and a happy family."

"Haha, you too." La Beikang smiled and reminded: "You may have a harder time this year. You still have to keep an eye on the promotion of the movie. If you need anything, please contact me. China Film will do its best to provide you with all the help it can."

"Okay, thank you again."

After hanging up the phone and being silent for a moment, Chen Fei called Han Sanping again to inform him of the good news.

"If you need any help, just ask."

The Third Master said generously, and Jiang Wen's voice could be heard faintly from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that the two families were celebrating the New Year together.

Chen Fei did not bother them much and ended the call quickly.

...

In Chen Fei's memory, the most lively Spring Festival Gala was probably the years when Zhao Benshan was there.

Thinking back carefully, works such as "Selling Crutch", "Water Delivery Man", "Talking About Things", "Planning", "Torchbearer", and "Not Short of Money" are all extremely classic works.

But what about this year?

Mr. Zhao Benshan has completely bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala, leaving behind an annual meeting belonging to Huayi.

Looking around, almost 80% of the programs have artists under Huayi.

Even if there are no artists, they are relatively close to Huayi and they can get on the stage through connections and backdoors!

"What are these performances about? They even hold the microphone upside down when singing, right? It's so unprofessional, and it's far from the song "A Fire in Winter" that was popular in the streets and alleys back then..."

The old man was drinking his wine while making precise complaints.

Fade Chen echoed: "These performances are really not that good."

From his point of view, the people from Huayi didn't prepare carefully at all. They couldn't even lip-sync when singing, and their dancing positions were even more messed up.

On the contrary, the songs that are vying for attention, such as "Where Has Time Gone", "Very Cool" by Da Zhangwei, and "Decoration of Lights" sung by Abao and Wang Erni, are quite good.

The appearance of Cao Yunjin and Liu Yuntian surprised Chen Fei!

I remember that it was originally planned that Lao Guo should be on stage, but this guy's mouth is really uncontrollable. It was really fun to spray randomly, but the final result was that his program was completely killed.

"Haha, I used to drive a Mercedes-Benz. This skit "Help or Not" is really well performed. It feels like Zhao Benshan and Song Xinxin."

Watching the performance of Shen Teng and Ma Li on TV, the two girls Liu Yifei and Shu Chang laughed for a long time.

Chen Fei was also laughing.

Others may not know, but he heard from the producer sent to the "Charlotte's Troubles" crew that Shen Teng and Ma Li were favored by Zhao Benshan, and even personally arranged a program for them.

Although the filming progress slowed down a lot because the two of them were going to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, it must be said that this show is really good!

The old man is not very accepting of the preferences of young people, so when he saw the two girls giggling, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Why haven't I seen Zhao Benshan and others for a long time? And Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Zhao Lirong, where are these people?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chen Fei's face faded a little.

He also likes these people, and the audience also likes these people, but unfortunately the Spring Festival Gala doesn't like these people, so they can only gradually leave the audience's field of vision.

In a blink of an eye, it's time to sing "Unforgettable Tonight" again.

At this time, Chen Fei suddenly noticed the upper right corner, where he could see a little girl spinning around non-stop, and it seemed that she had never stopped since the opening!

"This skill is quite powerful!"

...

After 12 o'clock, several movies that will be listed in the Spring Festival file officially started fighting!

The old man went to bed early. After a simple tidying up, he went to his room and left the space for the young people.

Shu Chang suggested: "The Spring Festival movie is new. Let's go to the movies? How about it?"

"Okay." Chen Fei and Liu Yifei did not object.

Soon, the three of them came to a theater not far away and bought three tickets for "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".

Adhering to the idea of ​​knowing yourself and the enemy, and winning every battle, Chen Fei began to watch this "rival" movie.

However, he couldn't stand it just halfway through. If it wasn't for the two girls, he would definitely leave early.

This movie is so bad!

After forcing himself to finish watching it, the three people's originally very happy mood was somewhat polluted.

"It's more than two o'clock in the morning. Let's go back and rest. There are things to do tomorrow."

"Okay."

In the face of Chen Fei's proposal, the two girls agreed directly.

"I want to sleep with Xixi." Shu Chang said tactlessly, and went into the guest room with Liu Yifei without saying anything.

Chen Fei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Yifei's eyes.

As expected, less than an hour later, Chen Fei, who was still drowsy, suddenly felt the door of the room being gently pushed open, and a fragrant and soft body appeared in his arms.

"Where is Shu Chang?"

"Hehe, I tricked her into falling asleep, and then came to find you."

"Won't she find out?"

"Who cares." Liu Yifei said casually, and her slender and slippery thighs soon wrapped around him: "On New Year's Eve, we can't sleep, we have to stay up all night."

"Oh? What? Fight until dawn?"

"Dawn is dawn, hum, I'm not afraid of you!"

...

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Shu Chang was awakened by the crackling sound of firecrackers outside.

She opened her eyes dazedly, stretched her body, and suddenly found that the person next to her was gone!

"Huh? Is there someone?"

She was confused when she saw the door suddenly opened and Liu Yifei walked in with a flushed face.

"Xixi, where have you been?" Shu Chang noticed that the hair in front of Liu Yifei's forehead was wet and tightly attached to her smooth forehead.

"Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a run."

Liu Yifei dodged her eyes and walked quickly into the bathroom.

She had to clean up the smell on her body first, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

At this time, Chen Fei on the other side had already walked out of the bathroom.

Although he didn't sleep all night, he was still quite energetic.

It was already bright outside, and he didn't plan to continue to make up for his sleep. Instead, he took the laptop and checked the relevant news on the Internet today.

The Spring Festival Gala held last night was naturally an unavoidable topic.

However, the reports about the Spring Festival Gala were not so good.

"Feng Xiaogang manipulated the program by inserting actors from Huayi Academy into the program list. His shameless behavior is hard to describe!"

"Huayi Academy actors and artists frequently made mistakes on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Didn't they receive careful training in the early stage? It's really embarrassing!"

"Xiao Caiqi, a new artist under Tangren, made her debut at the Spring Festival Gala with a great success. It was broadcast for 4 hours and became popular all over the Internet!"

...

At first, looking around, the Internet was full of news about the Spring Festival Gala.

Although Feng Xiaogang and the actors and artists of Huayi have been criticized a lot, their popularity has been successfully promoted, which can be said to be a great harvest!

However, when the time passed 6 o'clock, the front page headlines of major entertainment media websites were instantly dominated by a piece of news!

"After 47 days of release, the Lunar New Year blockbuster "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was successfully released, and the total box office closed at 2.225 billion yuan!"

"The box office record of domestic films has been refreshed again, and the 2 billion box office era has officially arrived!"

"Congratulations: Director Chen Fei successfully promoted to the 2 billion director and actor club, becoming the only member and taking the lead!"

...
