Chapter 697 The Founder of Youth-Themed Movies? Two Major Projects Announced, Completely Overturning the Domestic Entertainment Industry!

The next morning, before going abroad, Chen Fei paid special attention to several projects that will be launched later.

The two TV series "Day and Night" and "The Journey of Flower" will be premiered on Youku in the next one or two months. "Red Sorghum" is still in post-production, and "Nirvana in Fire" has not yet been completed.

The three animated films "Big Hero 6", "Big Fish and Begonia", and "Frozen" will span the three months of June, July, and August.

In September, "Now You See Me 2" will continue to take over.

In October, it is "Detective Chinatown", in November it is "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay", and in December the Lunar New Year will be replaced by "Ghost Blowing Light 2"...

Looking at the entire second half of the Chinese film and television industry, there will be a movie related to Chen Fei released almost every month.

It is definitely impossible to form a monopoly, but it is inevitable that the box office results will be among the top 3!

The film "Black Coal, Thin Ice" released at the end of April is still in theaters, and the box office has successfully exceeded 300 million yuan, only 100 million away from "My Deskmate".

At the same time, due to the excellent performance of "My Deskmate", the industry has once again seen the charm of low-cost youth-themed movies.

The production industry has further strengthened the idea that youth-themed films are popular genres, and believes that they are the current hot projects.

As long as the filmed movies can be successfully released, you can make a lot of money!

Many film and television companies have not finished their youth-themed movies on hand, but they have hurriedly found screenwriters and started to set up projects for the same type of films.

And those film companies that failed to catch up with the trend before also hurriedly formed a shooting team and began to move towards this track.

Up to now, domestic youth-themed movies seem to have become Hollywood industrial movies, entering a production line mode.

The producers don't care about quality at all, as long as they can be shot and released as quickly as possible.

And many newly established production companies, even if they have no experience in film production, are very confident!

The reason is mainly due to Chen Fei's speech a long time ago:

"Adolescence, dating, fighting, reconciliation, family conflicts, secret love, going abroad, abortion, misunderstanding, rebellion, confusion..."

The script outline is already there, just put the plot in it.

Even Chen Fei himself did not expect that what was originally just a sarcastic remark has now become a "general outline" often used in the filming of youth-themed movies.

The industry has now regarded him as the "founder of youth-themed movies", and the movie "Your Name" has been taken out by many film companies for reference.

Not to mention those small companies, even many large companies do this!

The result of this is that youth-themed movies have become popular. In just one month, at least more than 30 film projects have been successfully approved, which is shocking!

...

Compared with film and television projects, the early preparation and planning of variety shows are much easier.

Especially for projects like "Running Man" that bought the copyright of other variety shows, the preparatory work was extremely smooth with reference and assistance from the original production team.

In the afternoon, Gu Yongqiang called.

"Mr. Chen, we have joined hands with Guangguang Media and have now assembled a complete production team consisting of professionals including directors, screenwriters, cameramen, editors, post-production, and publicity.

Including detailed program planning, program flow, game rules, task settings, guest invitation plans, and the selection of the first shooting location are also ready.

There is also a detailed budget plan based on the program plan, including guest fees, venue rental, equipment purchase, post-production and other expenses have been calculated and perfected..."

It was originally just a simple report, but in the end, it turned into a telephone conference.

Until the end, Chen Fei simply turned on the computer and pulled Wang Changtian in to talk about the progress of the entire project together.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and Chen Fei made the final decision: "Since the entire project has been confirmed, let's officially announce it."

Gu Yongqiang responded: "Okay, I'll arrange it now."

"Haha!" Wang Changtian laughed: "Running Man is a popular outdoor reality show in South Korea. If it suddenly announces that it has moved to the mainland, if nothing unexpected happens, those brokerage companies, artists, etc. will probably have to fight for it, right?"

Gu Yongqiang's laughter also rang out: "This is inevitable. As long as we can make this variety show a success, the subsequent income will be endless, and it is not impossible to make it a phenomenal variety show."

Feiyue Film and Television + Guangguang + Youku, with the endorsement of these three companies, the quality of Running Man will definitely not be bad!

Chen Fei reminded in a deep voice: "The selection of guests must be cautious. They must be able to let go and have the awareness of reality show games. Those artists with bad records must not be accepted.

In addition to being able to promote people and make money, the most important significance of a popular variety show with long-lasting vitality is that it will be an unparalleled star-making platform."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian and Gu Yongqiang were both stunned!

At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but think of variety shows such as "Super Boy" and "Super Girl" in their minds.

Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying, Chen Chusheng, Hua Chenyu, Zhang Hanyun... Aren't these the most vivid examples?

"I will take the flight to Hollywood tonight. The subsequent selection of guests will be left to you two. After the final decision, remember to send it to me for review."

Chen Fei's tone was full of refusal, and the other two did not refuse.

After all, this project was arranged by Chen Fei a long time ago, and his authority is sufficient and big enough.

After Wang Changtian left the line, Gu Yongqiang suddenly thought of another thing and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Chen, according to your instructions, we bought the copyright of "Running Man" and "Infinite Challenge" at the same time. When will this variety show start preparation?"

"What did MBC say? Will their people come to help with the preparation?"

"Yes, just like "Running Man", they also gave away a season of on-site assistance."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei simply said directly: "One sheep is also driven, and a group of sheep are also released. After the "Running Man" project is announced, we will start preparing for "Infinite Challenge" directly."

"What's the name? Is it still called Infinite Challenge?"

"Change it, just call it "Extreme Challenge". This name sounds more pleasant."

"Okay, then I will arrange it now."

After the voice fell, Gu Yongqiang also left the line.

Chen Fei stood up, picked up the backpack on the sofa, said something to the secretary, and led the assistant to the airport.

According to the original plan, he was supposed to meet up with Liu Yifei first, and then go to the airport together.

Unfortunately, because of the conference call, he had to postpone his departure time.

When he rushed to the airport, it was already late, and there was only half an hour left before the scheduled departure time of the plane.

"Director Chen?"

Several paparazzi squatting at the airport found him and immediately rushed towards him.

"Director Chen, is it convenient for you to accept an interview? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to catch a plane." Chen Fei simply explained: "I'm going to Hollywood, and the follow-up work will be carried out there."

These reporters and paparazzi usually have first-hand information, especially the itineraries and plans of directors and stars in the film and television industry, which they have already engraved in their minds.

At this time, a reporter asked: "Are you going to shoot "Avengers 2"? "

"Huh?" Chen Fei looked at him in surprise: "Are you well-informed?"

"Hehe." The man smiled: "Marvel has issued a notice that "Avengers 2" will start shooting soon, and there is only your name in the director column."

"Okay, I have to check in, everyone, don't follow me, it won't affect other passengers."

Chen Fei's pace was very fast, and a group of reporters didn't ask too much information at all, and watched him disappear at the VIP entrance.

Before the plane took off, the relevant news had already appeared on major entertainment news websites.

"After attending the premiere of the movie "Coming Home", Director Chen Fei has now rushed to Hollywood to prepare for a new project."

"The Hollywood super sci-fi blockbuster "Avengers 2" is about to start filming, and Chen Fei will continue to serve as the director."

"It is reported that Liu Yifei has also appeared at the airport before, and it is suspected that she will go to Hollywood to launch related publicity announcements for "Frozen."

All kinds of news spread quickly and spread to the entire film and television industry in a short period of time.

And many production companies were relieved for no reason after hearing the news that Chen Fei had left China.

There is no way, this guy will always make some big news from time to time every day in China, which makes people nervous.

Originally, everyone thought that May must be the world of domestic films, but the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" produced by Sony and Marvel was released, and the box office on the first day directly won 80.64 million, which directly confused a number of domestic films!

I have to say that imported sci-fi blockbusters are really fierce!

Chen Fei seems to be able to easily make a super science fiction movie like this.

Under such circumstances, his existence is really scary for other film and television production companies.

Those domestic films released at the same time have no chance to survive!

However, just when many people thought that their survival pressure would be reduced after Chen Fei left, only one night later, Feiyue Film and Television came up with a new operation.

"The latest notice from the Film Bureau is that the action, crime, and thriller film script "Sicario" submitted by Feiyue Films has been successfully reviewed and will be officially launched for preparation from today."

"It is reported that the film is set on the border between China and the Golden Triangle, telling the story of an elite team of law enforcement officers and mysterious agents who take down a drug trafficking organization."

"It has been confirmed that the film will be directed by Director Lu Yang, and the producer and supervisor will be Zhong Lifang, the former general manager of Xiaoma Pentium and the current manager of Feiyue Films' production department."

"The relevant casting and casting plans have not been made public yet."

"Since the filming location will be selected in the Golden Triangle area, the preparatory work may be very cumbersome, and the start time is suspected to be determined three months later."

Looking at the sudden announcement, a number of production companies in the industry were confused.

You can just leave. Why are you still working on a new movie project and making yarn?

Not to mention anything else, just the name "Sicario" and the two characteristics of "the location is the Golden Triangle" are enough to prove that the investment in this movie will not be too small.

For a time, there was constant discussion in the industry:

"Who makes a movie and goes to that damn place in the Golden Triangle to shoot scenes? Are they dying?"

"Good guy, it's common to see movies and TV dramas about fighting drug dealers, but this kind of shooting in the drug dealers' base camp is really rare!"

"Feiyue Film and Television is playing more and more aggressively. It is the leader in the industry and it deserves its title!"

Compared with the shock and envy of major film and television companies, many agencies, artists, celebrities, actors, etc. in the industry became excited instantly.

This kind of big project is definitely rare. Once you can participate in it, it will definitely be of great help to improve your status.

Even if you can't get the main role, you can still fight for roles like second male, third male, second female, and third female.

As we all know, Feiyue Film and Television is not as independent as Huayi.

For a film and television company that focuses on "quality first", when selecting roles, they usually only choose the right ones, regardless of whether the pay is high or low.

Therefore, as long as you strive for it bravely and if you are lucky enough to match the role, you will always gain something.

However, just when many actors, artists, and agencies were preparing to use their connections to inquire about the news, suddenly, the emergence of a piece of news once again caused huge waves in the industry!

"Breaking news! The large-scale outdoor reality show variety show "Running Brothers" produced by Feiyue Films, Enlight Investments, Youku and the South Korean team has officially announced the project!"

"According to the announcement from the program team, "Running Brothers" will screen and invite permanent guests and flying guests from the entire film and television and entertainment circles. People from all walks of life are welcome to sign up to participate."

"The variety show is initially planned to have seven permanent guests, with a lineup of one female and six male. At the same time, during the recording of each episode, there will also be a number of flying guests participating in the recording."

"According to public information, the copyright of "Running Man" comes from South Korea, and the prototype is South Korea's popular variety show "Running Man"."

"The program will set up some unique game sessions and challenging tasks, such as tearing off name tags, acupressure boards, etc. As an outdoor competitive reality show, it aims to demonstrate the team spirit, physical fitness and wisdom of the guests through various games and challenges. Excellent quality."

"It is reported that at the beginning of the project, Director Chen Fei vigorously promoted the introduction of copyright. This may become the flagship work of Youku's variety show section..."

When various media and reporters announced the relevant project details of "Running Brothers" one by one, it immediately aroused the attention and heated discussion of the entire entertainment industry.

Compared with the project called "Sicario", the allure of the variety show "Running Brothers" is even more attractive than the former.

Previously, the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad", which was also introduced from South Korea, has proven to the outside world the influence of a super hit variety show!

As long as the guests participating in it, if they were first-line celebrities before, now their net worth has doubled, and their status has skyrocketed!

As for those artists who are below the second tier, or even outside the third tier or the 18th tier, as long as they can participate in it, they can easily become popular.

Especially during the Spring Festival, when Mango made it into a movie and released it, it directly earned more than 600 million at the box office, making the producer a lot of money!

And now, "Running Man", which is even more popular than "Where Are We Going, Dad", has been introduced to China again. What this means is self-evident.

For a time, a large number of brokerage companies and artist studios in the industry were unable to sit still.

As long as you play the reality show game, you can not only earn back your salary, but also gain a large number of fans and increase your celebrity status...

This is simply a huge benefit without any harm!

However, according to the announced news, there are only seven permanent guests, which means that this variety show is completely a carrot and a trap!

Actors contracted by small agencies and artist studios have no motivation to act except for greed.

Such a large-scale variety show is jointly produced by three companies: Youku, Feiyue Film and Television, and Guangguang. How can it be possible to recruit young artists like them?

If nothing else goes wrong, the final selected guests will inevitably be from the second tier to the top, or even entirely composed of first-tier actors.

Among them, relationship and background are the criteria for measurement.

"Jiajia, do you think I hope to participate in this show and become the resident female guest?"

Yang Mi was very envious of the only female member in the permanent guest lineup.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that if the configuration of one woman and six men is implemented, then this female member will definitely be the only "princess" in the team.

With the increase in exposure, this "princess" will surely be able to fly high, break out of the circle, and become one of the top flowers in the country!

Yang Mi lacks such an identity now. As long as she can participate in this variety show and cooperate with many hit movies and TV series, it is not impossible to become a presence like Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi.

However, after hearing Yang Mi's words, Zeng Jia didn't know what to say for a while.

She wanted Yang Mi to sober up, but she was a little worried that she would not be able to "fool" her after she sobered up.

In the end, she had to reply: "I will help you contact the production team. You are now one of the four famous young actresses in China. There is definitely a great hope that you can participate in the recording of this variety show."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

At the same time, Yang Ying on the other side also impatiently found Huang Xiaoming.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Director Chen? Can you help me ask? This variety show is so suitable for me. I have enough confidence that I can become the mainland version of Song Ji Hyo."

Hearing his girlfriend's request, Huang Xiaoming didn't know how to answer for a while.

He really wanted to touch Yang Ying's head to see if she had a fever. How could she say such nonsense?
