Chapter 688: Finished! A Meal without Any Danger! Sony's Ambition! Can the New Generation Replace the Old?

The last scene of "The Revenant" can be regarded as the climax and highlight of the whole film. It deeply conveys the hardship of the protagonist Hugh Glass's survival in extreme environments, his determination for revenge, and his complex emotions.

At the end of the film, after experiencing countless life and death tests in the wilderness, Hugh Glass finally found an opportunity to take revenge on Fitzgerald, his companion who betrayed and abandoned him.

After the revenge was successful, Glass was exhausted and lay on the snow, surrounded by the silent wilderness and white snow.

At this time, he seemed to see the illusion of his deceased wife, who walked towards him with a smile, then slowly turned and left.

The appearance of this illusion added a touch of warmth and sadness to Glass's journey of revenge.

When shooting this scene, Chen Fei chose to shoot it himself.

Under his focus, the lens used a very close close-up, focusing on Glass's blue eyes with clear tears.

This shooting technique can not only enhance the visual impact of the picture, but also allow the audience to deeply feel the complex emotions in Glass's heart.

In the scene, Leonardo's eyes flashed with despair, surprise, hope, pain and helplessness.

And these changes in emotions also reflect the hardships and inner struggles he experienced in the wilderness.

When he saw the illusion of his deceased wife, the hope and pain in his eyes were intertwined, which was even more moving!

In order to win the award, the perfect shot must not be more profound than this tragedy.

Therefore, the ending of "The Revenant" is irreparable pain and deep helplessness.

Glass has lost all his relatives and friends, and only loneliness and loneliness accompany him for the rest of his life.

"Mic up, get closer."

While holding the camera, Chen Fei did not forget to direct the staff on the scene.

Soon, Leonardo's weak breathing began to echo on the scene.

This sound effect not only enhances the realism of the picture, but also implies that although Glass succeeded in revenge, his body is extremely weak and the fire of life is about to be extinguished.

This last shot is not only the end of Glass's personal fate, but also the sublimation of the theme of the whole film.

It tells us that in the process of surviving in the wilderness, the brilliance and darkness of human nature coexist.

Although Glass has experienced countless pains and hardships, he has never given up the hope of survival and the pursuit of justice.

However, when he finally succeeded in revenge, he found that he had lost all the meaning of supporting him to live.

This sense of emptiness and loneliness will inevitably make people think deeply: "In extreme environments, what are we living for? For revenge? Or to find the meaning and value of life?"

Michael Mann, sitting behind the monitor, only felt a sense of astonishment.

In the shooting of this last scene, Chen Fei once again demonstrated his superb directing level!

Through visual, emotional and sound means, he deeply conveyed the hardships and complex emotions that Glass experienced in the process of surviving in the wilderness. This is not only the end of Glass's personal destiny, but also the sublimation and deepening of the theme of the whole film!

"Click!"

As the sound sounded, everyone looked at Chen Fei behind the camera in an instant.

He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over all the actors and staff on the scene, and a smile appeared on his face:

"I declare that "The Revenant" has officially finished shooting!"

"Pa pa pa!"

Instantly, the scene was filled with thunderous applause and cheers!

The reporters who came from the periphery walked into the set under the guidance of the staff and began to chat with the crew members about the details and feelings during the shooting.

That night, the relevant news had been sent back to China.

"Reprinted from the Los Angeles Daily News: Today, the film "The Revenant" directed by Chen Fei, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, and with guest appearances by Matthew McConaughey and Matt Damon, officially announced its completion."

"According to reliable sources, Director Chen will fight for the Oscars again with this film!"

"The handsome Jack is dead, and all that is left for us is Hugh Glass, who smells like a savage."

...

After sending the negatives to the company, Chen Fei returned to Beverly Hills in time for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, he enjoyed the warm hospitality from Liu Yifei.

"Are you tired? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Looking at Liu Yifei, who was wearing an apron and dressed like a housewife, Chen Fei was inexplicably confused.

What's going on?

Before he could ask what was in his mind, he heard Miss Liu say with a smile: "Auntie is on leave today, so I have to cook."

"Ah?"

In an instant, Chen Fei's face turned pale.

He had enjoyed the fried tomato and eggs made by Miss Liu, and the taste was so salty that it could kill people!

"Ah, what? You don't want to eat the food I cooked?" Liu Yifei pouted and glared at him angrily.

"No, absolutely not." Chen Fei immediately coaxed: "I'm just afraid that you are too tired. Auntie is on leave, we can go out to eat, there is no need to cook it yourself."

The main point of love brain is to coax.

Listening to Chen Fei's words, Liu Yifei instantly smiled: "Actually, it's not that tiring, it's very relaxing."

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the kitchen.

Chen Fei finally understood why Liu Yifei said it was very relaxing.

Because what Miss Liu said about cooking was just heating up the vegetables bought outside and putting them on the plate, that's all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fei was relieved.

This meal was safe.

After the meal, Liu Yifei volunteered to clean up and pushed Chen Fei into the study, asking him to have a good rest.

Thinking that there would be a very "fierce" war in the evening, Chen Fei nodded silently and chose to rest very obediently.

He turned on the computer and browsed the web messages.

While paying attention to the news about "The Revenant", Chen Fei also saw a lot of news about the complete emblem.

Many netizens and fans in the circle are fanning the flames under Jiang Wen's Weibo, suggesting that he delete all the shots about this bad artist.

There are even many people in the circle who are thinking of "adding insult to injury" and putting pressure on Jiang Wen, hoping that he can think twice before acting.

However, according to Chen Fei's understanding of Jiang Wen, this person should not be the kind of person who will easily compromise.

Moreover, the emblem has a lot of scenes in "One Step Away".

If he is deleted, then the movie will probably be ruined, and the 300 million yuan investment will probably go down the drain.

The work of "The Revenant" has come to a temporary end, and the next one to start is "Avengers 2".

However, before that, Chen Fei plans to return to China first.

According to Han Sanping, "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" has been filmed for a while, and the scenes about him will be filmed soon, hoping that he can go back to participate.

Anyway, it won't take long, so Chen Fei simply agreed.

However, before going back, he still has some things to do.

…

At 10 o'clock the next morning, Chen Fei, who was dressed neatly, and Liu Yifei, who was fully made up, went out and headed straight to the Walt Disney Studios outside Los Angeles.

Today, "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" directed by Xue Xiaolu will just shoot the last scene in the studio's church.

Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were just free, so they decided to go over and take a look.

When they arrived at the set, they saw that the filming had already begun.

In the church, Jiao Enjun and Wan Qian each sat in a seat, looking at an elderly couple who were remarrying on the stage.

The two elderly people wore shirts that looked like dresses and stood in front of the priest to receive God's blessings.

Grandpa made a passionate confession at the wedding, expressing his deep love and reluctance for grandma, as well as his fear of leaving grandma first.

Miss Liu is a more emotional person. When she saw grandma holding her trembling hands in front of her chest and saying, "Where the person is, there is the home. When the person is gone, the home is in the heart", her eyes were already filled with tears.

Although this is already an old routine in film and television dramas, it must be said that this scene is indeed a sublimation of the theme of the movie.

It will make the audience begin to think about the meaning of life, the value of love, and the helplessness and relief when facing death.

And these are also the key to high box office.

"Ka!"

As Xue Xiaolu shouted the word "Finish", the atmosphere at the scene, which was a bit dull, suddenly became lively.

The staff cheered non-stop, and Xue Xiaolu, Jiao Enjun, Wan Qian and others walked to Chen Fei's side.

"Director Chen, Yifei, why are you here?"

"I heard that the movie is about to be finished. I was too busy before and didn't have time. Today I just happened to be free, so we came to take a look."

After a few pleasantries, and greeting Jiao Enjun, Wan Qian and others, Chen Fei simply led everyone to a nearby hotel to prepare a few tables for the wrap-up banquet.

"Director Chen, I toast you a glass. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the movie."

Wan Qian walked up to Chen Fei with a glass of wine, unable to hide her excitement.

"You're welcome. As an actor, as long as you have enough acting skills, you will always have the opportunity to stand out."

Fade Chen raised his glass and clinked it with her, and then specifically reminded her: "After you go back this time, remember to pay more attention to "White Night Chase" and cooperate with Pan Yueming in the subsequent publicity work to break a new record."

In "White Night Chase", Wan Qian also played the heroine.

Wan Qian quickly responded: "Okay, I understand, Director Chen."

After the wrap-up banquet, the members of the "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" crew began to return to China in batches.

Only Xue Xiaolu will stay in Los Angeles for a few more days because he needs to sort out the negatives.

Without deliberately concealing it, the news quickly spread back to China.

"The film "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" directed by Xue Xiaolu and jointly invested by Feiyue Film and Television and China Film has officially been announced to be completed and is expected to be launched in the second half of the year..."

For a time, the industry was boiling again.

"Another movie finished???"

"Ghost Blows Out the Light 2", "The Revenant", "Detective Chinatown", "Charlotte's Troubles", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter"... I'm so annoyed! I'm really annoyed!"

"Good news for fans, nightmare for the industry!"

"If all of these are released in the second half of the year, won't it be a waste?"

"No? Is this really the way to go? Is there any justice or law?"

"Who can beat you if you do this?"

...

Chen Fei ignored all the "protests" in the industry.

The next day, he attended a special premiere event.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2"!

This is a movie co-produced by Marvel and Sony Columbia Pictures. However, the former’s presence in the production of the film can be said to be minimal, and the latter is mainly responsible for a series of businesses such as production and distribution.

Marvel was really poor and was about to go bankrupt, so they just took out their superhero characters for takeout.

The role of Spider-Man belongs to Sony Columbia Pictures.

Under the operation of Sony Columbia, this heroic character that should belong to Marvel can be said to have brought them extremely huge profits, and it is not surprising to call it a "cash cow".

Since the success of "The Amazing Spider-Man 1" the year before last, Sony has begun preparing a sequel.

Now the second part has also ushered in a fresh moment, but whether it can continue the glory of the first part has become the focus of many people's curiosity.

Like Chen Fei, many of the guests present today are not interested in socializing, but are looking forward to the moment when the finished film is released.

In the front row, Kevin Feige took advantage of this rare opportunity to meet Chen Fei and reported to him some of Marvel's recent developments.

"The finished film of "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be produced by the end of this month at the latest. After discussing with the theaters, we decided to release it in August.

The casting process for "Ant-Man" is in progress, and the protagonist has been confirmed, Paul Rudd, who previously starred in "Friends", and other roles are also being confirmed one after another..."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the big screen.

The screening of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has begun.

This movie is the fifth film in the "Spider-Man" series. It mainly tells the story of Peter and his girlfriend Gwen after graduating from high school, fighting against Max the Electric Man and Harry the Green Goblin, and after learning the truth about the departure of his parents, The story of still choosing to protect the world as Spider-Man.

The story was progressing one by one, but Chen Fei's brows couldn't help but frown.

When the superheroes in "Avengers" began to team up to defend the earth in a lively way, and when more and more mysterious organizations in the shadow of "SHIELD" were exposed to the sun, "Spider-Man" The ever-lasting image is inextricably linked to the two, but it is separated from the two for reasons other than the movie.

He was swinging alone in the reinforced concrete jungle. While saving New York, he also faced various doubts and worries from ordinary people, and he never ceased to reflect on himself deep in his heart.

To make matters worse, in this film, Spider-Man actually lost his lover, and his life alone will be even more difficult.

While watching, Kevin Feige was still murmuring: "Sony is trying to create an idol image to capture a new generation of teenage audiences. This is why they chose Garfield with long legs..."

Hearing this sentence, Chen Fei silently added in his heart: "This is probably why the movie uses a lot of space to show the daily life and romance of Peter and Gwen."

It is a pity that this will make the pace of the whole movie seem very slow. The audience is not satisfied with the story, but two and a half hours have passed before they know it.

After watching the entire movie, Chen Fei had only one thought in his mind.

Sony seems to want to play a big game!

Even though the gorgeous Electro was more than enough to sustain this sequel, they brought in Green Goblin and Rhino just to expand one movie into a portal to a world.

If nothing else goes wrong, in the upcoming films such as "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 4", they may use the arrogance of forming a team of villains to resist the team-up of rival superheroes to save the world.

This may also be Sony's resistance to Marvel.

They want to rely on "Spider-Man" alone, combined with many villains, to compete with the rise of Marvel like DC.

The subsequent box office results of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" are clearly the basis for verifying whether this behavior can continue.

…

After leaving the premiere, Chen Fei went to New York with Kevin Feige to pay attention to the final results of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the preparations for "Avengers 2".

"I will go back first and fly back after May. By then it will be the start time of "Avengers 2"."

After Jian Jian made a shooting plan with the behind-the-scenes members of the crew, Chen Fei returned to Los Angeles and went to the editing department of Volton Films to arrange the post-production requirements for "The Revenant."

Later, he followed up on the post-production and preparation progress of "Transformers 4", "Now Now 2", "Frozen", "Pacific Rim 2", and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay". .

After all the work was arranged, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei went to the airport together and embarked on the journey back to China.

China Film has already prepared the closing banquets for "The Martian" and "Taking Tiger Mountain". When he lands in the capital, he has to rush to the scene as soon as possible.

In addition to this event, he also had to attend the premieres of many movies such as "Fireworks in the Day" and "My Deskmate".

Chen Long specifically contacted him not long ago and wanted to invite him to attend his 60th birthday. However, because the filming of "The Revenant" was at a critical stage, Chen Fei had to refuse him.

However, he can’t avoid the opening ceremony of the subsequent “Lion Falls from the Sky”. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be drafted by Chen Long to make a wonderful cameo appearance.

He is actually quite emotional. In a blink of an eye, that generation of movie stars has aged.

Looking back, it is still unknown whether the new generation can catch up.

From the example of the emblem, it can be seen that there will be more and more people who collapse in the future!
