Chapter 707: Financing and Listing? The Hatred of Having Your Wife Stolen Is Irreconcilable! How Can You Compare to This Box Office Performance?

After a brief chat with Zhou Xingchi about the "Mermaid" project, the three of them separated.

The script has not yet been reviewed, and Zhou Xingchi is determined to bring China Film Group into the game in order to maintain stability, so the follow-up arrangements will have to wait for a while before they can be agreed upon.

Back at the hotel, Chen Fei contacted Su Guohai as soon as possible.

"The follow-up plan for the "Mermaid" project is left to you. I may not be able to stay in China for too long. I will have to fly to Los Angeles in half a month at most."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will follow up at any time."

Su Guoji agreed without hesitation.

But then, he mentioned another thing: "Mr. Chen, Director Zhou's last film, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, was produced by our company. If nothing unexpected happens, he should choose us again this time, right?"

"Well, I talked to him, and Dianjing Digital will indeed be responsible for special effects and post-production."

Hearing this, Su Guohai smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, we should expand our staff. Dianjing Digital is getting busier and busier. The staff transfer is already very heavy. If there are more projects, I'm afraid it will have to stop.

Even the existing special effects projects are being reallocated and planned. Only by trying to adjust the staff schedule can we barely get them to work."

Hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly startled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that nearly half of the special effects projects of major domestic film and television companies are now produced by Dianjing Digital, either in whole or in part.

No matter what the relationship between these companies and Chen Fei is, they cannot avoid Dianjing Digital in terms of special effects business.

Because if you take it abroad, even if the quality is the same, the fees charged by foreign special effects companies are at least 30% higher than those in China.

And if you go to other small domestic companies, even if they charge cheaper, the quality cannot be guaranteed at all.

Huayi has suffered a lot in this regard.

They found a foreign special effects company for the previous "Tai Chi" series. Although the effect is good, the price accounts for 35% of the total investment!

Later, the two brothers of the Wang family thought that this deal was too unprofitable.

So, even though they were very unhappy with Chen Fei, they still handed over their company's special effects project to Dianjing Digital.

This money should be earned by Feiyue Film and Television!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei responded: "Let's do this. Next month, I will let those who are interning in Industrial Light and Magic and Digital Field go back first.

You can find time to recruit another group of people and apply for visas for them as soon as possible. Let these new people take the place of training to maintain the mobility of personnel."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, this is a good idea!"

Su Guohai breathed a sigh of relief, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately went to make arrangements.

However, at this time, Chen Fei had a new idea in his mind.

Previously, many investors had contacted him and asked him whether he would separate Dianjing Digital, accept financing, and then go public.

He had never thought about it carefully before, but now he felt that this idea seemed quite good.

"Dianjing Digital will go public, introduce a large number of equipment and talents, and expand the market from the film and television industry to games, animation, and even a wider range..."

No words were spoken overnight.

The next morning, news about the cocktail party held by Huayi last night appeared on major entertainment websites.

"It is reported that at the reception last night, Alibaba, Penguin, Baidu and others all showed up to support. Huayi General Manager Wang Zhonglei said that connecting with the Internet is the future of the film and television industry."

"In addition to Feiyue Film and Television, well-known film and television companies in the industry have sent representatives to the scene, and there are also some foreign companies and filmmakers."

"Chen Long, Liu Dehua, Ge You, Li Bingfeng, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Guo Jingming, Han Han, Yu Zheng and other actors and directors in the industry sent congratulations to Huayi."

"Huayi Chairman Wang Zhonglei said that Huayi's future market value will exceed 35 billion within half a month, and will launch a charge towards 50 billion by the end of the year."

"De-monopolization of movies has achieved great success!"

Many people in the industry talked about it, some expressed envy, some expressed jealousy, and even followed suit.

On LeEco's side, Boss Jia boasted on Weibo: "After LeEco Pictures goes public in the future, it will be no problem to benchmark Huayi."

Hairun also said: "Our goal is also to catch up with Huayi..."

Wang Changtian did not get involved in this matter because he had been alerted by Chen Fei.

From his perspective, Huayi's current prosperity seems like a bubble, which may burst at any time.

This is just the first cultural and tourism project that has raised Huayi to its current level. If the other three or four projects are put into use, Huayi's building will inevitably get higher and higher!

But the root problem is that the foundation under this "building" has been damaged and is almost collapsed.

In this case, the higher the building is built, the more miserable Huayi will die!

As for Bona, the only company in the industry listed on NASDAQ, it has been in the wind and rain recently because of Yu Dong.

There are rumors in the investment community that if nothing unexpected happens, Bona will have to start the delisting process soon.

Compared with the insiders, the focus of people outside the circle is very different.

Many actors, directors, and film and television company bosses were discussing the "grand occasion" caused by Huayi, but netizens were paying attention to the official announcement of Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting's marriage certificate.

Perhaps neither the man nor the woman thought that just by getting a marriage certificate, the man would become the "male public enemy".

A hot search topic quickly rushed to the top of the list.

"Zhao Youting, the hatred of stealing his wife is irreconcilable!"

The media reported:

"The man and woman met because of the movie "Search". Brother Chen Kai once again facilitated a relationship after Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi."

"After the man and woman publicly got the marriage certificate, director Brother Chen Kai sent his blessings and said frankly that the two had already had feelings for each other when they were on the crew."

"Brother Kai, the matchmaker, is worthy of his reputation."

The Internet was very lively at this time. Many people in the circle went to the Weibo of the man and woman, either sending blessings or publicly hating the wedding invitation.

And many netizens were very excited and expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I don't agree with this marriage!"

"Disagree +1"

"Take away my beloved wife! Zhao Youting, come out and die!"

Perhaps many people are really dissatisfied, but in fact most people are just playing tricks and joining in the fun. Can they really snatch the marriage?

When Chen Fei saw the news online, he inexplicably looked down on Brother Chen Kai.

"The man and woman are getting a marriage certificate publicly, why are you, an old man, buying hot searches to join in the fun? You are so idle."

No need to guess, you know that those topics about Brother Chen Kai are definitely the hot searches he bought himself.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has entered the formal post-production stage and is expected to be released in theaters next year. It's not easy to get a hot spot at this time, and the great poet Chen doesn't want to miss it.

...

Ignoring the protests and dissatisfaction of netizens, Chen Fei went to the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" under construction in the afternoon.

When the project manager saw the boss coming, he hurriedly received him attentively.

"The expected completion time of the entire project is September. We will ensure that it can open on time in October to receive tourists.

At present, some areas have been completed and are receiving tourists in limited time and quantity. We will ensure safety and basic service facilities, and we will ensure that tourists are happy, happy and comfortable..."

After inspecting the entire park covering an area of ​​1.16 square kilometers, before leaving, Chen Fei specifically reminded: "I just noticed that there is a notice at the door that tourists are not allowed to bring any foreign food into the park. Cancel this rule for me and change it to fast food type food can be brought into the park."

"Ah?" The project leader was slightly stunned: "Why? Once this rule is cancelled, it will inevitably cause great pressure on our park environment maintenance."

"If there is pressure, hire more cleaning staff. This is China. The cultural differences are different from North America. This rule is unreasonable here."

Chen Fei's tone was full of unquestionable. Although the foreign person in charge did not understand, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Boss, I'll ask them to change this decision."

"Well, that's it, I'm leaving first."

While walking out, Chen Fei recalled a piece of news he had seen online before his rebirth.

A law student took Disneyland to court because she didn't allow her to bring food into the park, and she won the case in the end.

In view of this case, "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" must take it as a warning.

…

There is only one day left before the start of filming of "Avengers 2" in Shanghai.

On the last day, Chen Fei went to the premiere of "Breakup Master" alone.

Wang Changtian invited him enthusiastically, and he was embarrassed to refuse.

And this was also the first time he watched this comedy movie starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi on the big screen.

How to evaluate it.

It's not an exaggeration to say "a mess", because the quality of the film is really hard to describe.

Although there are many big names in the whole movie, it seems to be connected by a series of online jokes from beginning to end, without any connotation or eye-catching things.

Maybe it can get a lot of box office after the release with these "jokes", but after a period of time, only a few funny scenes will be worth remembering.

During the cocktail party, Deng Chao led Sun Li to Chen Fei.

"Director Chen, I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"Oh?" Chen Fei looked at him in surprise: "Thank me for what?"

"The permanent guest quota of "Running Man". I heard that the final list was decided by you. Thank you very much for your approval."

Chen Fei raised his glass and clinked it with him: "You are aiming for the position of captain. It depends on your performance at that time."

"Don't worry, I will never let you down."

Sun Li added: "If Director Chen has anything to do in the future, just tell us. We still have some ability in some aspects."

"Well, if there is."

Chen Fei smiled and clinked glasses with Sun Li.

As soon as the couple turned to leave, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia came over again and toasted enthusiastically.

"Director Chen, thank you for coming to the premiere of "Breakup Master". I toast you a glass."

Looking at Yang Mi, whose eye bags were seriously drooping, Chen Fei was inexplicably moved.

This person is really hardworking!

Especially after she started her own company, people in the industry gave her the title of "Workaholic", which shows how hard she worked.

"Sometimes you still have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

After all, they had worked together before, and Chen Fei didn't give her a cold shoulder just because she wasn't one of them.

However, when faced with Zeng Jia's intention to introduce him to those newcomers from Jiaxing, he directly refused.

A group of people who weren't even 18th-tier stars weren't worth his attention.

Watching Chen Fei's back as he left, Zeng Jia felt a little embarrassed, after all, there were so many newcomers following him, and she had more or less lost face in front of them just now.

Yang Mi was used to seeing this, so she didn't think much about it.

Watching Chen Fei and Wang Changtian talking happily, while Han Han, who had played a guest role in "Breakup Master", smiled respectfully on the side, she couldn't hide her envy.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Jia Jia, isn't our company preparing for financing? I heard that Director Chen also has an investment company called Longxiang Capital, and its financial strength is very strong. Why don't we go to him for investment? What do you think?"

"Let's talk about it later. It's not time for formal financing yet."

Zeng Jia's eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Yang Mi.

Because what she really wanted was the investor's money, not to be controlled by an external investment company. If she asked Chen Fei to participate in the investment, some of her tricks would not be easy to perform.

Before, even Internet companies such as Alibaba and Penguin were rejected by her, not to mention Longxiang Capital, a super giant in the industry.

She didn't have the confidence to make tricks under Chen Fei's attention.

"Not yet?"

Yang Mi was a little puzzled. She clearly remembered that Zeng Jia had already taken action a few months ago!

Is financing so complicated?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it. Let Jia Jia handle it."

Yang Mi shook her head and walked towards the representative sent by LeTV Pictures, ready to entertain.

Behind her, several newly signed artists from Jiaxing hurriedly followed, like leeches sucking blood, and they would never let go once they bit!

…

June 27th arrived as scheduled.

Chen Fei returned to the crew of "Avengers 2" and started the filming work in China.

At the same time, "The Breakup Master" and "Transformers 4" also landed in domestic theaters, starting the competition for the summer season in advance.

On the morning of the same day, when these two movies were hot, "See You Tomorrow" held a media conference in the capital.

Yu Dong appeared at the press conference under pressure, personally stood up for Han Han and expressed his support, saying that Bona would strongly support the movie "See You Tomorrow".

However, I don't know if he was too stressed, and suddenly let out a big word: "In my opinion, in terms of film quality, "See You Tomorrow" completely beats the bad movies like "Tiny Times", and Guo Jingming can't compare with Han Han at all."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately stirred up a hornet's nest.

Not only did Han Han's fans and Guo Jingming's fans start a new round of verbal wars, but even LeTV Pictures, the producer of "Tiny Times 3", stood up and asked Yu Dong to apologize for his words.

The two sides cursed fiercely, and finally even escalated to the issue of being a human being.

In this regard, at present, Yu Dong is much worse than Boss Jia.

The latter cursed the former: "You have low character, abandoned your wife and children, and will definitely not have a good end!"

The former cursed the latter: "Except for that mouth, everything else is useless. You are so good at bragging, and you will be finished sooner or later."

For a while, the Internet was very lively, but soon, with the official intervention, the heat was quickly suppressed.

When Chen Fei came back in the evening to eat melons, the two had already stopped.

"It's boring, is this all you can do? Why don't you continue to curse?"

He was just watching the fun, but the two were affected a lot by the verbal war, and Yu Dong was even scolded by his superiors.

He had a pile of shit in his trouser pocket recently, and now he is rolling in the yellow mud pit. Isn't this digging his own grave?

Seeing that there is no melon to eat, Chen Fei had to focus on the two movies released today.

Online, relevant film reviews have been freshly released.

For "Transformers 4", most netizens are evaluating it around special effects and pictures.

"As a commercial blockbuster, I think "Transformers 4" is actually very good in terms of special effects and scenes! And it is very real! Many people say that the plot is not good, I don't think it is necessary to be too demanding, you can't have both fish and bear's paw! For commercial films, just be lively and enjoyable."

"I don't know if you have noticed? There are many Chinese elements in the film. Doesn't this prove the strength of our country?"

"The IMax effect is great. I heard that this movie cost 400 million US dollars to make. It is worth the ticket price."

...

Compared with "Transformers 4", the score of "The Breakup Master" is slightly lower.

However, many people's evaluations are still above average, that is, in the range of 7 to 8 points.

"The whole movie relies on Deng Chao's silly behavior to create laughs. Although the plot is quite awkward, the laughs are still good. It feels like an early Stephen Chow comedy. (ps: I saw Deng Chao faint after smelling Yang Mi's slippers, and I immediately understood something, haha)."

"Support domestic movies. I'll give it a score of 7.5. There are some laughs, but the main plot of the whole movie is really boring. It's just a laugh occasionally. Overall, it's average."

"I didn't expect Deng Chao to be so talented in being funny. I'm looking forward to the variety show "Running Man". I hope he can be more interesting."

The ratings and reviews of movies are important, but in the final analysis, the basis for proving whether a movie is successful is actually the box office.

Many people are waiting for the box office results of these two movies that opened the 2014 summer vacation.

China Film did not disappoint the industry. At six o'clock the next day, it announced the box office results of "The Breakup Master" and "Transformers 4" on the first day of release.

The former made 39.6 million on the first day of release, and 59.69 million if the midnight show is included.

For a comedy, this result is already quite good.

However, when seeing the domestic first-day box office results of "Transformers 4", a group of domestic film producers were silent.

174 million on the first day of release, if the midnight show is included, it is 203 million yuan!

The first-day box office results of the latter are four times that of the former!

How can this be compared?
