Chapter 687: Eating a Peach Causes Bleeding and Pain, Cutting with a Knife, Biting a Big Melon!
On the 26th, several pieces of domestic information traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and successfully arrived in Los Angeles.
"The movie "Dear", produced by Liu Yifei, written by Chen Fei, and starring Huang Bo and Zhou Xun, held a grand premiere event in the capital."
"At the premiere, Liu Yifei was dressed in a white suit and showed up with full aura! She overwhelmed many female guests in the audience."
"The crew of "Dear" once again reiterated that all the mainland box office proceeds of the film will be donated to the cause of anti-trafficking, hoping that there will be no more trafficking incidents in the world."
Looking at the various news exposed on the Internet and the photos of Liu Yifei and other actors, Chen Fei smiled and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
It was as if a certain development game had achieved a staged victory.
But, besides that, he also saw another piece of news that was reported in turn by the media:
"The film and television company "Jiaxing Media" co-founded by Mainland's new top four actress Yang Mi and her agent Zeng Jia was officially unveiled today!"
"Zeng Jia, general manager of Jiaxing Media, said that he will continue to cooperate with Yang Mi in the future to make the company bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
"It is reported that Jiaxing Media will officially involve many areas including but not limited to artist management, film and television investment and production, variety show production, etc."
"EXO member Lu Han was surprised to appear at the opening dinner. According to his agent, Yang Mi will collaborate with Lu Han to star in a suspenseful detective movie."
"The invited party Tangren did not attend the opening ceremony..."
…
"After all, we are still on the old path. Turn the studio into a company? Make it bigger and stronger, raise funds and go public? Tsk tsk..."
Chen Fei shrugged, a little helpless, but somehow felt that Yang Mi's behavior was not strange.
He gave her a chance, but unfortunately, she was too ambitious and was not satisfied with the status quo. She had to go out and try something new.
From the moment Yang Mi terminated the contract, the two parties had nothing to do with each other, and I could only wish her good luck in the future.
Putting down his cell phone, Chen Fei started working with the props team on making the prop horse.
In order to create a realistic wilderness survival environment, the film production team put a lot of effort into scene design and prop preparation.
In addition to the bear, the horse's belly is also a key prop.
Of course, the production team will not use real horse corpses, but highly realistic prop horses.
Not only does the prop horse look identical to a real horse, but the interior space has also been carefully designed to ensure that Leonardo can comfortably lie in it and complete the filming.
On the other side of the crew, Leonardo was also preparing for this scene.
Not only did he need to overcome psychological fear and discomfort (after all, he had to get into a seemingly narrow and unknown space), but he also had to maintain concentration and stable performance for a long time in extremely cold weather.
During the filming process, he needed to be completely naked and rely only on the thermal insulation inside the prop horse to maintain his body temperature.
Chen Fei's requirements were particularly strict. He had to use delicate expressions and body language to vividly show Hugh Glass's helplessness, despair and desire to survive in a desperate situation.
If these were the traffic actors who were eating a peach and bleeding in pain, I'm afraid they would have given up on the job halfway through the filming.
However, Xiao Lizi was able to spare no effort and meticulously continued the filming progress according to Chen Fei's requirements.
Sometimes, Chen Fei even suspected that in order to win the Oscar, this guy could film a movie like "Brokeback Mountain"!
…
"The box office on the first day was 43.35 million yuan. I saw many people predicting that the box office of this movie should exceed 500 million yuan!"
Early in the morning on the 29th, Liu Yifei rarely slept in, but paid attention to the box office of the movie "Dear".
"Huh? So tall?"
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, took some free time, logged into the Douban website, and roughly checked the reputation and reviews of this movie.
To his surprise, on platforms such as Douban and Maoyan, fans gave it a high score of over 9 points.
"The whole movie reflects many current social phenomena and is full of irony. Parents' divorce has a certain impact on children. A moment of negligence leads to children being abducted. The feeling of regret becomes a point of tears."
"The state stipulates that missing persons cannot be filed within 24 hours. In fact, these 24 hours are crucial. I hope the rules can be changed!"
"The movie talks about many people whose children have been abducted forming a small team to help each other, but Lao Han and other members illustrate a question. When a child is abducted, how many can really be recovered?"
"It's so touching. You have to watch this movie carefully. Watch it very carefully. There are tears everywhere. When the child's mother said to Pengpeng, would it be good for her to take her sister back? Pengpeng held her mother's hand and she cried. It looks like a small close-up, but it depicts the mother’s expectant mood.”
"Huang Bo obviously knew that the person was a liar, but he went anyway. He just didn't want to let go of the one-in-10,000 possibility. What if it was really Pengpeng? In fact, he is not stupid. In his words, at least there is someone else. Willing to lie to me."
"If you savor it carefully, there are really too many tears in this movie. I am really grateful to several actors for their performances, allowing more people to focus on anti-trafficking. I am also grateful to the crew for their support for those of us who are looking for Pro-family help!”
High reputation + high quality + full box office donation...
Under the influence of various factors, the box office of "Dear" did not decrease but increased. On the second day, the single-day box office directly exceeded 50 million!
Although there were many movies released during the same period, they were not enough to compete with "Dear".
At the end of four days, the box office successfully exceeded 100 million, far exceeding other films in the same period.
What imported films "Genius Spectacle Dog" and "Allied Treasure Team", or domestic films "I Love You Most on the Road" and "Happiness Transit Stack", etc., none of them can compare.
And when the time turned to April, the first movie in the history of Chinese-language films with a box office of 3 billion finally ushered in a successful conclusion!
Major media outlets once again rushed to report the film, and the related news successfully topped the front page of major film and entertainment news:
"The domestic science fiction masterpiece "The Martian" directed by Guo Fan and starring Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and others has been released for 60 days, with a total box office of 3.269 billion yuan and successfully closed."
"A new box office record for domestic films has been born!"
"According to calculations, the film producer's profit from the domestic box office of this film has far exceeded 1 billion yuan, a figure that is even comparable to the annual income of several listed companies!"
"So far, "The Martian" has earned 530 million US dollars in North America and a total global box office of 1.755 billion US dollars! It has broken the box office records of many Hollywood blockbusters..."
As the news was reported in turn, envy, jealousy, greed...all came out at once.
However, most people only secretly envied it and did not dare to show it openly, or be sarcastic online.
The reason is simple, they really can't afford to offend these investors.
Even if it was just Feiyue Films, they couldn't afford to offend them!
In contrast, "Dear" received a large wave of traffic, and the box office performance once again ushered in a wave of growth, and directly launched a charge towards 200 million yuan!
...
Cai Yinong really didn't expect that Tangren would be the first company to be stabbed.
"Step by Step" failed the review, "The Legend of the Desert" was rejected for wanton changes in history, many investors withdrew their capital, and the production team was poached...
Since participating in the last "siege", in less than half a month, Tangren has been tossed to pieces and defeated.
The most aggrieved thing is that she knew who was messing with her, but she didn't dare to mention it at all, and could only grit her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.
She didn't even dare to resist, because once she resisted, the final result would most likely be that Tangren would completely fall apart and cease to exist!
Now all she can do is pray, hoping that the other party can let her go after venting his anger.
In order to save Tangren, she even begged Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, hoping that they would say something good to that person for the sake of their friendship.
Like her, other companies, including Bona, Huayi, and Chengtian, were also held hostage.
Unlisted companies will poach your people, destroy your projects, and make your movies.
Listed companies will destroy your stock price, spread bad words, and deliberately target you...
After a few blows, this group of people began to cry and admit defeat.
Among them, Bona was the worst!
Bona, which was listed on NASDAQ, should have been prosperous, but now it is not only half dead, but because it was targeted by Chen Fei, its stock price continued to fall, making Yu Dong almost cry.
If he hadn't asked the big brother Han Sanping for help, he would have fallen hard and painfully!
…
April in North America is not a particularly competitive period, so Natasha scheduled the release of "Wreck-It Ralph" in April.
Looking around, the only film that can compete with it in the same period is "Rio 2" produced by 20th Century Fox.
"The results are not bad, 21.96 million US dollars on the first day, and the expected landing point should be more than 200 million US dollars..."
For this kind of animated film that is purely used to fill the copyright library, Chen Fei is not very interested.
In fact, for him, this kind of movie is purely based on offline income to recover the cost, and it may be linked with other movies in the future.
And the most important thing is to contribute to the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" that is about to open.
"Big Hero 6" will be released in May, right?"
"Yes." Natasha answered on the other end of the phone, and then added: "The dubbing of Frozen is about to be completed, and it is expected to be launched around July.
DreamWorks Animation has already started preparing for Kung Fu Panda 4 and How to Train Your Dragon 3..."
Listening to Natasha's report, Chen Fei suddenly remembered the animation script "Inside Out" that he had opened from the script gift package not long ago.
After thinking about it, he simply said: "I will send a new script to your email in the evening, you can give it to DreamWorks Animation for me."
New script?
When Natasha heard these three words, her eyes lit up immediately.
For her, as long as the word "script" came from Chen Fei's mouth, it was no less than the sound of fairy music.
...
As Zhang Yimou's first work to join LeTV, the news about "Coming Home" is undoubtedly the focus of many people's attention.
When the box office announced that the film would be scheduled for May 16, it was no surprise that it once again triggered a wave of comments in the mainland.
There are a lot of "rumors" suddenly appearing in the industry, and many people are saying that Zhang Yimou's schedule is too "cowardly".
It has not caught on to the popularity of the May Day period, and it has not caught on to the popularity of the summer vacation period. Is this because it is afraid that other commercial films will affect its box office performance?
In this regard, Director Zhang’s explanation is: “Currently, all domestic directors are actually kidnapped by the box office and the market. They are blindly pursuing box office without paying attention to the core. After all, this is just an illusion and cannot be maintained for a long time... …”
During the visit, Zhang Yimou specifically named "Taking Tiger Mountain" and "The Martian", including the previous "Gravity", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", etc., and he commented on them all.
Chen Fei was in North America right now. The reporters couldn't find him, so they had to block Guo Fan and Ning Hao.
Guo Fan had never made a literary film before, so he had no idea how to answer, so he could only vaguely say a few words and then stopped showing his face.
But Ning Hao, an old man in the world, saw things very clearly.
At the closing party of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", when the media asked him what he thought of Zhang Yimou's comments, he smiled and said in a joking tone:
"Director Zhang has been working in the field of literary and artistic films before, and has not yet come into contact with commercial films with a box office of 1 billion, so he may have some misunderstandings about commercial films.
Maybe after he makes a commercial film with a box office of over 1 billion, he should be able to understand how difficult it is for us. "
This wave of answers is impeccable!
If you think we can't do it, then you can first make a movie with a box office of over 1 billion.
Very simple, very straightforward, very direct!
As soon as Ning Hao responded, Lao Mouzi never mentioned this topic again.
Although the words are a bit rough, the reasoning is not.
Faced with the raging new commercial films, Zhang Yimou is indeed a bit behind the times.
Perhaps only after he actually makes a high-grossing commercial film will he understand how innocent his words are.
…
I have to say that Lao Mouzi is quite lucky.
Because of his words, he was almost fooled into the ditch by the media, which triggered a controversy between artistic films and commercial films.
Just when LeTV was trying to "cool down" the situation, Fengxing suddenly made a big news!
Previously, on the last day of March, Zhuo Wei, the paparazzi leader, announced that he would release a big piece of news in April, which would directly target the male artist surnamed Wen and the female artist surnamed Yao.
Just when netizens were talking about this shocking news, the person involved immediately responded: "I am suing you for defamation..."
After some responses, the man also vowed that he would use legal means to defend his rights and warned Zhuo Wei to be careful and not do anything stupid!
As the godson of a top kung fu star in the industry, and a top-tier niche student who has become as popular as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others in recent years, the artist surnamed Wen has long had a reputation for being arrogant and domineering in the industry.
Because of this, he didn't take the paparazzi seriously at all.
Faced with Feng Xing's communication, not only did he have no idea of "public relations", but he kicked out all those who came to him.
The final result is that a large number of photos and videos have appeared on the Internet. If you look around, they are all intimate scenes of Wen and Yao.
Holding hands, hugging, kissing, opening a room... everything was photographed.
For ordinary people, there may not be that many audiences in life, but for stars and artists in the entertainment industry, there are too many audiences!
When these things were exposed, the threats made by the male artist named Wen to Zhuo Wei seemed so ridiculous.
If an ordinary person had an affair, the most serious consequences would probably be divorce or division of property.
But for a star, especially a star who usually wears the persona of "good man", "good husband" and "good dad", this is undoubtedly very scary!
Once the character collapses, fans will instantly turn from love to hate, and those in the industry who are very good at adding insult to injury will also come in droves...
As the saying goes, when a whale falls, everything comes alive!
If a male artist with a literary surname falls, he can support many second-tier male artists with a literary surname.
Based on this, countless brokerage companies and artists have taken action.
Even the man's first wife, the actor surnamed Ma, who is still pregnant, also provided a lot of help.
Chen Fei saw the apology text and video posted by the man on Weibo on the Internet, and cried bitterly and begged for forgiveness.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. No one in the comment area pitied him, and there was a lot of abuse.
Driven by the people behind the scenes, as of April 10, all the acting contracts and endorsements of the actor surnamed Wen had collapsed, and the mistress was even worse. A "banning order" had been issued against her in the industry.
"If nothing else, this should be a revenge carried out by the woman together with the paparazzi after discovering the man's cheating."
Su Guohai was very well-informed in this area, and he quickly understood this "melon".
"Tsk, tsk, once this woman gets ruthless, a man can't stand it at all. Who would have thought that the person next to her would already have a different dream in the same bed?"
To be honest, Chen Fei suddenly admired Sun Li.
He couldn't understand why that person could choose to forgive Deng Chao again and again?
…
After eating melon is over, we can’t forget about the business.
After a month and a half of filming, "The Revenant" has finally come to an end.
Chen Fei picked up the loud speaker and shouted to the entire crew: "Come on, everyone, get ready, the last shot!"
As soon as the voice fell, the actors, cameras, props, lights, etc. were all in place. The entire crew was like a precision-operated instrument, and under Chen Fei's control, they produced one group of precision parts after another!
