Chapter 679: Extension Key, Start Cursing! Eat Raw Meat, Gnaw Bones, Sleep on Horses, My Name Is Hugh Glass!

Chapter 679 Extension key, start cursing! Eat raw meat, gnaw bones, sleep on a horse's belly, my name is Hugh Glass!

Time quickly came to the end of January.

For ordinary people, today may be an ordinary day that needs to continue to be influenced by the work, but for the entire film and television industry, it is a helpless and depressing day.

Because early in the morning, the Film Bureau suddenly announced a document:

"After multiple reviews and judgments, today officially approved the key application submitted by Feiyue Film and Television, China Film, Wanda, Shanghai Film, and Guangguang for the domestic science fiction commercial film "The Martian".

The new extension key will take effect on March 1st, with a time limit of one month.

The film "The Martian" will be postponed to March 31st..."

For a time, the production companies of several films that will be released in March began to curse, and the words in their mouths were simply dirtier than one!

"Are you really not going to leave us any chance?"

"We finally managed to avoid imported films, but now we are being beaten by domestic films. Then...what's the point of my protest?"

"The Taking of Tiger Mountain has already been postponed, and The Martian is also postponed? I protest! I strongly protest!"

Many people in the industry mentioned the protest, saying that the postponement was too unfair and demanded that it be cancelled.

But in the face of the numerous reports, the Film Bureau ignored them.

In front of a domestic science fiction film that is about to break the 3 billion box office, those small-investment, low-cost art films are not worth watching, and Tong Gang will not even look at them.

If you are not good at it, just practice more. What's the point of protesting?

Let's not talk about other things. If any movie shows signs of breaking the 4 billion box office during the same period, the extension key will definitely be on the other side.

But if there is no such thing, then The Martian will naturally have it all to itself.

...

The last big thing is done, and naturally Chen Fei will have nothing to do in China.

The Hundred Regiments Offensive is about to hold a press conference, but since the press conference is in March, he will definitely not be able to make it.

When the filming starts, he can take time to come back and play a cameo role or something.

So, Chen Fei began to contact a private plane and prepared to fly to Los Angeles.

The preparations for both dramas have been completed, and he just needs to wait for the director to take office and officially announce the start of filming.

Although he really wants to be a hands-off boss, the position of director is obviously not something he can get rid of. He must go there in advance to communicate with the actors about the subsequent filming.

"I have to bring this skirt, and the coat, sweater... I like this doll very much, I have to bring it too..."

Liu Yifei was packing her luggage. The huge suitcase was already full, but she was still taking things out.

So Liu Xiaoli had to bring her a new suitcase.

When it comes to spoiling her daughter, Liu's mother has done a good job.

Chen Fei reminded them: "Remember to take your passport, bank card, credit card, etc. Don't forget them."

"Okay, got it."

There is no mobile payment in the US. Every time you go there, you either have to prepare cash or swipe your card. It's hard to describe.

The time wasted on these little things every day is very much!

After taking a last look at the messy living room, Chen Fei turned around silently and walked into the study, leaving the "battlefield" to the mother and daughter.

He had to prepare the storyboards for "The Revenant", especially some important scenes, which could be more vivid when drawn.

Compared with other directors, Chen Fei is much more receptive to new things.

While others were still drawing manuscripts, he had already picked up a tablet and used drawing software to draw the pictures he wanted in his mind.

These drawn scene pictures are printed out as a manuscript picture. When not in use, they can be saved in the cloud disk without worrying about losing them. It's so convenient.

Chen Fei was busy until noon, and then he stopped writing and walked out of calligraphy.

The messy living room had been tidied up to be spotless, but the final price was that there were three huge suitcases on the side.

Liu Xiaoli was sitting with Liu Yifei at this time, and she kept giving instructions, fearing that her daughter would be thirsty or hungry outside.

Chen Fei smiled and went to the bathroom.

Just as he took out his mobile phone and browsed the entertainment news website, he suddenly found a new information.

"Director Zhang Yimou's new work "Coming Home" has been bought by Sony at a high price, and will be released overseas in many regions including North America in the future."

In the comment area under this news, many people were sighing that these great directors really lived up to their reputation!

"Sure enough, being a director is the same. You have to make yourself popular and famous enough."

"Before Coming Home was released, it was bought by a foreign manufacturer for tens of millions of dollars and directly made a profit. This is the style of a great director!"

"Tsk tsk, I'm really envious. Chen Fei's movies can easily make at least 300 million US dollars in foreign countries, and Zhang Yimou's movies are also never short of buyers and people who cover the bottom. This is the real boss!"

"Whether it is a commercial film or an art film, you have to get a high box office or a big award. This is the right way!"

"Comparatively speaking, Brother Chen Kai is really lame. He loses money on every movie he makes, and the copyright is sold in a mess..."

Chen Kai, who is currently directing and filming "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", never thought that Zhang Yimou would involve himself in the sale of the film copyright.

"Huh? So what if he sells it at a high price? Wait until he wins the Golden Palm and then compete with me."

"Yes, my husband is the best!"

Chen Hong has always been good at praising people, and she always makes the great poet Chen very happy.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Chen Kai recited a poem on the spot in front of the crew: "How is Mount Tai? The green of Qi and Lu is endless. Nature is full of divine beauty, and yin and yang divide the dusk and dawn. The clouds are in my heart, and the returning birds are in my eyes. I will climb to the top and look down on all the mountains!"

Through this poem, he not only expressed his belief that he would reach the top, but also vented his expectations for "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain".

He is very sure that when this movie is released, it will definitely give a huge shock to the entire film and television industry!

…

"In addition to attending the Oscars, you have another important mission when you go to Los Angeles this time."

In the car on the way to the airport, Chen Fei was telling Liu Yifei about the relevant arrangements.

"Wolton Pictures has produced an animated film called "Frozen", in which the heroine is called Princess Elsa, and your task is to dub the adult version of Princess Elsa.

In addition to the English version, there will also be a Chinese dubbing version for the Chinese market, which you will also be responsible for..."

Liu Yifei listened very seriously, and nodded from time to time to show that she understood.

However, just as the two were chatting about the relevant topic, Wang Changtian's phone suddenly came in:

"Brother, let me say hello to you first. We have decided to schedule the release of "The Breakup Master" in the summer season, which is at the end of June."

Chen Fei was slightly startled, and soon guessed the purpose of Wang Changtian's call.

He responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Big Fish and Begonia will be released on July 18. There will be no big impact after a 20-day gap."

"That's good, haha. If you are free, remember to attend the premiere."

"Okay." Chen Fei responded with a smile.

However, the next second after he hung up the phone, Liu Yifei, who was picking up her phone, suddenly reminded him: "Chen Fei, look, Tiny Times 3 has also been announced."

"Oh? Really?"

Chen Fei looked over curiously.

When he saw the time of July 17, he was slightly stunned.

"Hey? This little thing is quite brave. Is it going to compete with us?"

The target audience of Big Fish and Begonia is boys and girls, and the target audience of Tiny Times 3 is also the audience of this age group.

This means that the two sides will inevitably have a competitive relationship.

Chen Fei himself doesn't believe that Guo Jingming didn't do it on purpose!

At this time, with the release date of "Breakup Guru" and "Tiny Times 3", a wave of heated discussions was instantly triggered online.

"Hey? This Guo Jingming is quite brave?"

"I declare that "Tiny Times 3" will win, and no one can beat my Jingming!"

"Damn, why do I feel that this little thing is riding on the popularity?"

Looking at the voices of support, opposition, contempt, or doubt that kept popping up online, Guo Jingming, who was lying on the bed in the hotel and enjoying himself, showed a satisfied expression on his face.

"You can scold me as much as you want. I don't have anything else, but my ability to withstand pressure is absolutely first-class! As long as I can ride on this wave of popularity, I win!"

Since the first part of the "Tiny Times" series was released, Guo Jingming has been subjected to abuse, and he has gotten used to it until now.

What's the use of scolding? The box office performance is the key!

From the moment he announced that "Tiny Times 3" was scheduled for July 17, it has been tied to "Big Fish and Begonia".

In the future, whenever the media promotes "Big Fish and Begonia", they will definitely mention "Tiny Times 3". Wouldn't the popularity increase? In fact, it also saves a lot of publicity costs.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sure-win business!

"Director Guo has a good plan!"

A voice suddenly interrupted Guo Jingming's boast.

He lowered his eyes and saw that Chen Xuedong had stopped his mouth and looked at him with an admiring look and expression.

Guo Jingming smiled, tapped his forehead with his toes, and ordered: "Don't stop, continue."

"Hmm..."

Chen Xuedong didn't hesitate at all and bowed his head and got busy again.

...

Avoiding the surveillance of the media and paparazzi, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei boarded the plane smoothly and officially set off for Los Angeles.

The nearly 12-hour flight passed quietly.

When they landed, it was just dusk.

They got in the car driven by the driver and went straight to the mansion in Beverly Hills.

As the awards ceremony approaches, Hollywood has completely entered the atmosphere of the Oscars, and the excitement and grandeur are no less than the three major European film festivals.

Even on the streets, you can see various promotional posters, without exception, all of which are public relations and marketing strategies for the nominated films.

If we talk about the most high-profile domestic actress, it must be Zhang Ziyi.

"The Grandmaster" was only nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film, but she posted various promotional posters on Weibo every few days, as if she had successfully nominated for the Best Actress.

The only ones who can compete with her in the entire domestic entertainment industry are Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbin, and Zhao Yanzi, who has become a shareholder of Alibaba Pictures.

However, Liu Yifei has been very low-key recently, and Fan Bingbing is not sure what he is busy with, and there has been no movement recently.

Zhao Yanzi follows Ma Yun to various high-end places every day, and has no time to promote herself online.

The only one who is still active online is Li Bingbin.

Recently, the fantasy movie "Zhong Kui Fu Mo" co-produced by Dasheng International Media and Warner Bros. held a very grand opening ceremony in the capital.

This movie has been hyped up, and because Warner Bros. participated in the investment, the producer Dasheng International Media even clamored that this movie will be comparable to Hollywood's top blockbusters!

It is precisely because of this that Li Bingbin, who once participated in "Resident Evil", is so proud, and various press releases have also spread all over the Internet, triggering a lot of heated discussions.

However, the 200 million yuan investment made Chen Fei want to laugh.

Which Hollywood blockbuster can be made with 200 million RMB? This is not a joke!

And looking at the history of domestic films, all the films that use the slogan of benchmarking Hollywood blockbusters for promotion have, without exception, all ended up badly.

Li Bingbin is making such a big fuss now, and it is very likely that she will slap herself in the face in the end and become a joke on the whole network.

However, she does not seem to have this foresight, and is fighting openly and secretly with Zhang Ziyi on Weibo.

The two sides are going back and forth, making it very lively!

…

After adjusting the time difference, the sky has already ushered in the bright moment.

Miss Liu is still sleeping in, and it seems that she has no sign of wanting to open her eyes and wash up.

There is nothing for her to do today, so Chen Fei simply did not call him, but after washing up, he went to Walton Pictures first.

Before going to the company, he specifically asked the driver to go to Hollywood for a tour.

Compared to the streets, the Oscar atmosphere here is obviously even stronger. There are huge movie posters everywhere, and even photo posters of actors and stars.

Among the many posters, movies such as "Nomadland", "The Great Gatsby", "The Wolf of Wall Street", and "Lincoln" are clearly visible.

Chen Fei even got out of the car to pick up a promotional accessory sent by a crew. Although his appearance caused a wave of commotion, it did not cause a blockade because this is Hollywood.

Like in China, there are many paparazzi at the Oscars.

When he drove to the entrance of Walt Disney Studios, Leonardo's phone called first: "Fei! I saw the news online. Are you in Los Angeles?"

"Yes, I just arrived at the company now. Do you want to come over?"

"Yes! Of course! Wait for me! I'll be there in half an hour!"

There was a strong excitement in Leo's voice, and he wanted to fly over on the spot!

Chen Fei gave him the script of "The Revenant" before the New Year, and asked him to adjust his diet and body shape according to the image of the male protagonist. I think he should have adjusted it almost now.

"Boss?!"

"Fei, good morning!"

"Boss! Long time no see!"

Amid the friendly greetings of the employees, Chen Fei went all the way to Natasha's office.

Pushing the door and walking in, he saw the fashionable girl who was busy at work.

European and American women usually have hot bodies. If they are paired with formal clothes, that feeling is instantly concrete!

It's a pity that Natasha only likes women, not men.

"Fei?" Seeing Chen Fei walking into the office, Natasha's face suddenly showed a look of surprise and joy.

The two haven't seen each other for nearly half a year. Now suddenly seeing each other, there is an inexplicable feeling of freshness and novelty.

After a few greetings, the topic was successfully involved in work.

"Now You See Me 2, Transformers 4, Dangal, Big Hero 6, and Wreck-It Ralph, all of which have completed post-production, have already chosen release dates.

Guardians of the Galaxy and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay have both been announced to be completed and are currently in post-production, so the release dates will be later.

Game of Thrones Season 4 is scheduled for June, and Shameless Season 4 is currently in the filming phase..."

It took Natasha more than half an hour to finish talking about all the plans!

"So, there are no new movies at the Walt Disney Studios headquarters?"

"Yes." Natasha nodded and added, "Lucasfilm is preparing for Pacific Rim 2, and Marvel will follow up with Avengers 2 and Ant-Man, but there are no other plans."

Hearing this, Fade Chen muttered to himself, "The script inventory is insufficient..."

At this moment, he was even more looking forward to the challenge that was about to be completed.

As long as this SS-level mission is completed, I believe there will be a new script fresh out of the oven!

As the two were chatting, Chen Fei's assistant suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, reminding: "Boss, Leonardo Dicaprio is here."

"Just bring him in here."

"Okay."

The assistant walked out quickly, and soon, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

"Haha, Fei, long time no see, I missed you so much."

As the voice sounded, Leonardo, with a beard, a square face, and a completely square body, walked in from the door.

For so many years, for the Oscar statuette, Leo has successfully transformed from a handsome young man to a bearded uncle.

Looking at his current appearance and body shape, Chen Fei felt sorry for him for being a runner-up for many years, and couldn't help but compare him with Hugh Glass, who ate raw meat, gnawed bones, slept on horses, and fought bears in his mind.

In the end, he successfully came to a conclusion.

Now Leo can be directly used for abuse... Oh no! He was directly taken to the crew of "The Revenant" for filming!
