Chapter 678 Permanent Honorary Principal! New Tasks Are Freshly Released! Another Year of Filling up the Entire Year's Schedule!
After two days of transition, the popularity of Berlin has been reduced a lot.
Chen Guofu has already led the team of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" to fly back from abroad. He is now communicating with the Film Bureau to slightly adjust some of the more explicit clips and pictures.
The negative information about him on the Internet has disappeared without a trace. Even if you search for it specifically, you can't find any topics at all.
This situation directly confused the two brothers of the Wang family!
Chen Guofu's fame is growing, and Huayi's stock price is falling, but they spent a lot of money to fabricate the negative information but can't publish it.
It's just hell!
"What did you say? Weibo blocked your article for reasons such as being indecent and fabricated?"
Listening to the voice of the head of the water army on the phone, Wang Zhonglei felt a headache.
This is fucking, how can this happen?
Looking around, even pictures that are indecent can be posted on Weibo, and there are countless people who are skirting the line, but why can't even an article be published?
"Is the government protecting Chen Guofu? Just because of a Golden Bear Award?"
Just when he was depressed, a very capable female secretary suddenly pushed the door open and walked in outside the office, holding a tablet in her hand, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wang, there is another big news!"
"Huh? What big news?"
Wang Zhonglei took the tablet curiously, glanced at it, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to make a sound for a long time.
On the headline interface of the entertainment website, a very shocking news was published!
"According to the announcement of the Shanxi Provincial Education Department: the Shanxi Film Academy, which was previously under construction, has officially completed its construction. The academy will set up six majors, including film and television photography and production, radio and television editing and directing, recording art, drama and film literature, film studies, and drama and film directing.
The school has now officially announced that the first president of the Shanxi Film Academy will be the well-known mainland director Jia Zhangke, and the permanent honorary president will be the internationally renowned director Chen Fei!
His honors and resume include but are not limited to:
Two Cannes International Film Festival Golden Palm Awards, two Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Awards, one Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award, three Oscars for Best Director, five Golden Globe Best Director Awards, seven Saturn Best Director Awards, domestic film box office 2 billion director, global film total box office record No. 1..."
"Jia Zhangke became the first president of the Shanxi Film Academy? Chen Fei became the permanent honorary president of the Shanxi Film Academy?"
When these two pieces of information were revealed, they immediately swept the entire film and television industry like a hurricane passing through!
Before this, no one even knew that a film academy was being built in Shanxi Province. They only knew that Chen Fei and Jia Zhangke had reached a cooperation and were working on the "New Art Film Revival" plan.
For example, "Into the Dust", which won the Grand Jury Award last year, and "Black Coal, Thin Ice" this year are all products of this plan.
In addition, many low-cost art films have achieved profitability with the help of this plan, and many frustrated unknown directors have begun to emerge with this plan...
But no one expected that the two of them would secretly become principals!
Although many actors and directors in the circle would go to school to take classes and share experiences during their breaks or free time.
But there are not many classes of this kind of course in a year, it is purely a one-day fishing and half-year drying of the net.
But these two people actually became principals without saying a word!
This is a bit cruel!
If people in the circle were only shocked by the fact that Chen Fei and Jia Zhangke became principals, then colleges such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy suddenly felt like the sky was falling!
Why did you announce it at this time? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble?
It is the registration period for the art exams, and several film schools in the industry are trying to scramble for students. They are almost going crazy.
And the Jin Film Academy suddenly came up with this move, which is undoubtedly a sharp stab in the back of several film schools!
It is obvious that they are here to scramble for students!
And they are using the fame of Chen Fei and Jia Zhangke to scramble for students!
These two are well-known directors who are well-known at home and abroad. They have won awards at the three major European film festivals, and their resources and appeal are even more terrifying.
With the endorsement of the two of them, the Jin Film Academy may quickly rise to become a mountain among the mainland film schools!
The Beijing Film Academy called Chen Fei anxiously and asked about the relevant situation.
"Hey, no wonder you didn't agree to participate in this year's college admissions review. It turns out that you want to establish your own school?"
Faced with Zhao Zhenyang's teasing on the phone, Chen Fei smiled and replied: "How can it be so exaggerated? I am just an honorary principal.
What's more, the Jin Province Film Academy is mainly used to train behind-the-scenes talents. When it comes to training actors, Beijing Film Academy is professional. We don't have the saying of snatching people."
Although Zhao Zhenyang is now the dean of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, he is not too inclined to the side of the Beijing Film Academy. Instead, he stands in a middle position and sighs:
"Alas, Beijing Film Academy may have no sense of crisis in recent years because of its good development. Although it is constantly recruiting students, most of the people recruited are "illiterate" and can come in without knowing anything.
Think about the past, there were really many talents, but if you look at the past few years, from directors to actors, who can successfully gain a foothold in the circle?
I won’t say anything unnecessary. Since you want to establish a film school, you should do it well. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me and cultivate more backbones for the film and television industry. This is better than anything else! "
Chen Fei put away the smile on his face and responded very seriously: "Okay, Teacher Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely follow your instructions."
…
As Zhao Zhenyang said, Chen Fei's purpose is to cultivate more backbones for the film and television industry.
He had started planning for this a long time ago.
After it was announced that he and Jia Zhangke were the principals, in the following days, the Shanxi Film Academy issued several notices:
"Directors Ning Hao, Kang Honglei, Wang Shiliang, Shen Ao, Lu Yang, Li Yang, Guo Fan, Yang Yu, Chen Guofu, etc. will all arrive at the college to teach later.
At the same time, the Academy will also invite at irregular times including but not limited to Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Michael Bay, James Wan, Woody Allen, Rajkumar Hirani, Roland Emmerich, Aaron Taylor, Kathryn Bigequin, Jon Favreau, Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Michael Mann and many more Hollywood directors come to the academy to give lectures and share their directing experiences.
Seeing the names of a series of great directors announced on the official website, the entire film and television industry was shocked!
This dish of noodles is so awesome!
Just as Chen Fei and Jia Zhangke initially expected, the art candidates who were already eager to take the exam instantly paid more attention to the Jin Provincial Film Academy than the three major domestic art academies.
Nortel, China Theater, and Shanghai Theater are indeed great, but can you invite so many great directors to come to school for classes?
The most important thing is that, according to a statement on the college’s official website, all current students will have the opportunity to go to Hollywood crews for experiential learning during school or internship.
This temptation is simply too scary!
This alone is enough to crush the three major film schools.
There are many people in the industry asking for information, and some of them even made direct calls to the company.
Many people were excited to see it, especially some second-generation stars, who were even more interested in inspecting the Jin Provincial Film Academy.
If it is as reported on the official website, then you should be able to learn real things after going here!
Chen Fei was so annoyed that he had a headache, so he simply posted on Weibo:
“All announcements on the official website are true.”
In just eight words, everyone's concerns and doubts were immediately dispelled.
Although Chen Fei is relatively young, where does his identity and status lie? He can't deceive people, right?
Weibo instantly became lively, with many insiders leaving messages or comments:
"Hello, Principal Chen, please support me in the future."
"Is the school still short of teachers? I have more free time, so I can take a class or something."
"Can you accept a 40-year-old student? Director Chen, I am very thirsty for knowledge."
"Can you leave me a teaching position? I haven't taught students yet, let me try too."
"Has the academy been built? You must visit it when you have time."
…
Because the establishment of a film school actually triggered discussions in the entire entertainment industry. If this were said before, no one would believe it.
Even though almost a week has passed, the discussion is still going on. Some people are recommending themselves to be teachers, some want to study for a second time, and some want to enroll their nephews in school. It is like a chaotic dance!
Fortunately, Chen Fei is just an honorary principal, otherwise he would be annoyed to death!
"Director Chen, the filming of "Detective Chinatown" has been completed over there. The main creators want to hold a wrapping party in Thailand. You see..."
Listening to the assistant's report, Chen Fei waved his hand indifferently: "Let them go, whatever they want is fine. Drink less and be sure to pay attention to safety."
"Okay, I'll get back to you right away."
Only one day later, relevant news about "Detective Chinatown" appeared online.
"The comedy detective film "Detective Chinatown" directed by Wang Shiliang and starring Wang Baoqiang, Huang Xiaoming, Xiao Yang, Pan Yueming and others has officially finished production in Thailand."
"Huang Xiaoming will challenge a subversive role for the first time, so stay tuned."
"Feiyue Films once again exclusively produces comedy movies. Can it continue its glory? Gain huge box office profits?"
Perhaps for the sake of good luck, "Detective Chinatown" has just announced that it will enter post-production. On the other hand, Bona held a grand launch conference for Han Han and "See You Again". .
At this point, after Guo Jingming, the second best-selling author began to cross industries and become a director.
However, what surprised the industry was that Han Han, who is usually a snarky person, was extremely easy-going and low-key at the launch conference, and he was able to respond gently to the more targeted questions.
This operation greatly increased many people's sense of him. At least from the appearance point of view, he was much more pleasing to the eye than Guo Jingming.
…
Although it is late, the day has come for "The Martian" to successfully break the box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain" and officially top the box office record in domestic film history.
Early in the morning, major media outlets released relevant reports and news like crazy:
"Good news: The second domestic movie with a box office of over 2 billion is born, and its name is - "The Martian"!"
"Congratulations to Director Guo Fan for successfully being promoted to the 2 billion box office club and ranking No. 1 in the domestic commercial film box office record!"
"Guo Fan, the synonym of domestic science fiction! From Gravity to The Martian, young director Guo Fan has won many victories and shocked the entire film and television industry!"
"Let's charge towards 3 billion box office!"
"Looking forward to the new era and embarking on a new journey, at 8 o'clock in the evening, lock in the movie channel for an exclusive interview with Guo Fan, telling about his path to science fiction movies..."
Although The Martian has begun to go downhill with the passing of the New Year, the box office of more than 2 billion is really too fierce!
And compared with the daily new box office of less than 5 million for Havoc in Heaven, the 33.65 million of The Martian is still an "astronomical figure".
As for Ex-Files and A Chinese Odyssey, they have long been forced to be removed from the theaters.
It is because of The Hobbit 2, otherwise the daily new box office of The Martian could still rise a lot!
Labeikang called excitedly: "Chen Fei, the procedures and processes for the one-month extension of the secret key have been completed, and we will announce it to the public at the end of the month.
In your opinion, based on the current performance of this movie, is there any hope of breaking 3 billion?"
"If it is extended for one month... yes!"
Chen Fei responded decisively.
In order to increase the box office of a movie, in addition to the quality being good enough, it is inseparable from various publicity methods.
And now, the quality of "The Martian" is naturally beyond doubt, so the rest is publicity.
Because the relevant roadshow activities have no effect now, Chen Fei is ready to play a big one!
He will first attend this year's Oscars ceremony, and then go directly to Malaysia to complete the latest challenge task issued by the system.
[Challenge task: (Go to the world's tallest Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, fix one end of each tower with a flat belt at the highest point, and complete a high-altitude walk), the difficulty coefficient is 9 stars, and you can get an SS-level reward blind box after completing the task. 】
【Note 1: During the entire high-altitude walking process, no auxiliary props may be used, and the challenge can only be completed by physical coordination. 】
【Note 2: No protective measures may be used during the entire challenge, and there is only one chance to complete it. I hope the host will treat it with caution. 】
This challenge is what Chen Fei relies on.
While attracting a lot of attention, it can also promote the movie, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
However, it is not so easy to complete this task.
The Petronas Twin Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers, are the tallest twin towers in the world and the fifth tallest building in the world.
The tower is located in the center of Kuala Lumpur, with a height of 452 meters and a total of 88 floors above ground.
Although the tower is connected by a 58-meter-long sky bridge between the 41st and 42nd floors, this thing is of no use to Chen Fei.
Because he has to go to the very end and connect the two buildings with a flat belt, and then walk over without any assistance!
As before, he had informed Red Bull of the challenge he wanted to complete, and they were responsible for communicating with the person in charge of the Petroleum Twin Towers.
After all, he had to go to the roof of someone else's building and put on bandages, all of which required authorization.
And the most important thing was that this challenge was not so easy. If Chen Fei fell down, it would inevitably have a huge impact on the Petroleum Twin Towers.
After all, he was a public figure, not an ordinary challenger, so all these had to be communicated in advance.
However, he still trusted Red Bull very much, and believed that Flory would definitely be able to communicate well with the Petroleum Twin Towers.
If it really didn't work, he would use the US dollar strategy!
After ending the call with La Peikang, Chen Fei specially logged into Weibo and checked the opinions of many netizens and industry insiders on the excellent results of "The Martian".
Looking around, there were still more people who congratulated and admired, but there were also many people who said something sarcastic because of their sour feelings.
Chen Fei didn't pay any attention to these voices at all.
Because when the strong look at the weak, they always look down on them!
Along with the news that "The Martian" broke the box office record, there were also reports about the release dates of "Day and Night", "Big Fish and Begonia", and "Black Coal, Thin Ice".
"The suspenseful mystery drama exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television and starring Pan Yueming and Wan Qian will be officially scheduled on May 31 and will premiere on Youku Video. Please stay tuned!"
"Following the great success of "Journey to the West: Hero is Back", the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television and China Film will be scheduled on July 18 and officially participate in the summer season competition."
"The Golden Bear Award-winning "Black Coal, Thin Ice" will be scheduled on April 25 and officially participate in the May Day season competition."
For a time, the cursing voices in the circle emerged again.
Starting from the Lunar New Year's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", to the Spring Festival "The Martian", and "Dear" scheduled for March 28, "Black Coal, Thin Ice" scheduled for April 25, "Big Fish and Begonia" competing for the summer season, and a TV series "Day and Night" in between...
The entire first half of the year's movie schedule was taken up by Feiyue Films again!
This does not include a series of movies that are likely to be released in domestic theaters in the second half of the year, such as "Detective Chinatown", "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter", "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2", and "Charlotte's Troubles".
If we add up all these, there will be 10 movies exclusively or jointly produced by Feiyue Films this year!
"Crazy! Completely crazy! If Feiyue Films chooses to go public, wouldn't the market value exceed 100 billion in minutes?"
