Chapter 717 No Matter How Old a Man Is, His Hobbies Are Always Young, Beautiful and Sexy
Chapter 717 No matter how old a man is, his hobbies are always young, beautiful, and sexy...
In a blink of an eye, the first weekend has passed quietly.
The "gold content" of fan movies is fully reflected in the movie "Tiny Times 3".
From the release on Thursday until the end of the first weekend, the movie has successfully achieved a box office of 312 million.
Although the daily new box office fell very exaggeratedly, the fans didn't care at all.
"Breaking 300 million in four days, doesn't this mean that breaking 1 billion in the next box office is easy?"
"Guo Jingming is great! He is worthy of being my favorite writer!"
"I am looking forward to "Tiny Times 4". The finale will definitely shine brightly."
Looking at these comments on the Internet, Chen Fei just wanted to laugh.
This group of fans is simply possessed. Whose movie box office is analyzed like this? Isn't this just a joke?
Breaking 300 million in 4 days means that it will break 1 billion in the future? How can this be seen from?
In comparison, the industry's call for "Big Fish and Begonia" is obviously much higher than "Tiny Times 3".
Although the former was released one day less than the latter, the two were very close in terms of box office results.
After the first three days of the weekend, "Big Fish and Begonia" successfully cut a box office of 298 million, which is simply incredible!
The companies in the industry that also have animation production businesses are already numb.
In a trance, many animation production companies suddenly found that Feiyue Film and Television's technology is completely comparable to Hollywood.
It is no exaggeration to say that although they tell the story of China, the production process is almost a copy of Hollywood.
In this case, it is really difficult to find fault with the movies they made.
Even in these few days, Chen Fei received calls from major investment banks.
Without exception, all these people asked him if he was interested in setting up a separate animation production department and making it a listed company?
Although the animation department was established not long ago, it has already gained a great reputation in the industry with "Journey to the West: Hero is Back" and now "Big Fish and Begonia"!
The TV drama production department also enjoys the same treatment.
The group of investment banks are almost going crazy. They want Chen Fei to split up the various departments of the company and make them listed companies separately.
The reason why they are interested in the TV drama production department is mainly because the two dramas "Day and Night Chase" and "The Journey of Flower" are so popular.
Some professionals in the industry have conducted some statistics and finally concluded.
"The revenue generated by these two TV dramas is not worse than a movie with a box office of 800 million or even 1 billion."
As soon as this conclusion came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of investment banks.
Even Hairun can go public through a backdoor listing, so why can't Feiyue Film and Television's TV drama production department?
Unfortunately, no matter how they fooled him, Chen Fei just didn't fall for it, which made these people really have no temper.
…
I don’t know if it’s because most of the high-quality copyrights have been developed, but Hollywood movies have rarely shown a decline in the past two years.
In the past few years, there was a praised blockbuster almost every month, but this year this situation is very rare.
Especially when "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Frozen" were scheduled for August 1 and August 15 respectively, there were almost no blockbusters in the same period.
The only one that received much attention, "Maze Walker", even quietly moved the release time to September 19.
Obviously, these blockbusters don’t want to compete with Marvel and Walt Disney Studios.
There is no way, the opponent’s lethality is too great, and they simply don’t have the courage to fight at the same time.
"Fei, when is your movie expected to be completed?"
Leonardo once again "dropped by" to the "Avengers 2" crew, like a fly, and began to buzz in Chen Fei's ears.
"Leon, didn't I tell you? It's expected to be finished by the end of July."
"Okay then."
Leo couldn't hide his disappointment. He was still thinking about promoting "The Revenant" with Chen Fei, but unfortunately he never found an opportunity to participate in the show together.
Chen Fei easily guessed what he was thinking. Although he was a little helpless, he still comforted him: "Don't worry, it's still a long time before the Oscars. We have plenty of time."
He could understand Leo's pursuit of the Oscars, but he really couldn't accept this guy running to the crew every few days.
After some kind advice, he finally sent this annoying guy away.
When he returned to the crew again, he suddenly found that many people were holding their mobile phones and watching something with great interest.
"Why don't you take a break? What are you doing?" Chen Fei walked to Robert Downey Jr. and asked curiously.
"Fei, we are looking at the latest list of nominees for the Venice International Film Festival."
"Oh!"
Chen Fei suddenly realized.
The three major European film festivals are not only the holy lands that domestic filmmakers yearn for, but also the holy lands in the hearts of Hollywood actors.
He took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo.
As expected, news about the Venice International Film Festival has appeared on Weibo.
"The nomination list for the 71st Venice International Film Festival has been officially announced. The film "The Intruder" directed by Chinese director Wang Xiaoshuai has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit."
"Congratulations to the Chinese film "Dear" for being successfully shortlisted for the screening section."
"Congratulations to director Xu Anhua, whose film "The Golden Age" was successfully shortlisted for the screening section."
As one piece of news from Venice appeared on the Internet, the entire domestic entertainment industry once again caused quite a stir.
It's no surprise that Wang Xiaoshuai's film was shortlisted for the main competition. After all, Wang Xiaoshuai has been a frequent visitor to the Venice International Film Festival for a long time.
In comparison, the fact that "Dear" was shortlisted for the screening section really shocked many people's jaws!
As we all know, a screening unit refers to a section of a film festival or related event dedicated to showing films of a specific theme or type.
Different film festivals may have multiple screening units, each with its own unique film selection criteria and thematic positioning.
For example, some common screening units include main competition unit, special screening unit, panoramic unit, special attention unit, midnight screening unit, restored classic unit, etc.
The main competition section is usually the core part of the festival, showcasing the best and most talked about films that compete for the festival's main awards.
The screening section will present some popular films, works with special significance or unusual forms, as well as reflections on the film itself, history and related art forms.
Although the screening unit cannot be compared with the main competition unit in terms of gold content, being selected into the screening unit is also a recognition from the film festival organizers.
The selection of "Dear" undoubtedly proves its quality and representative significance!
As the producer of the film, Liu Yifei undoubtedly played an irreplaceable role in it!
In other words, after the opening ceremony of the film festival, she will lead the entire crew to Venice for a film screening.
"Not bad, Producer Liu, now you have successfully come to Venice?"
After going back in the evening, Chen Fei happily teased Liu Yifei and praised her so much that she raised her head high.
However, this girl is also very tough-talking.
Facing the praise, she deliberately pretended not to care and responded calmly: "It's just a screening unit, nothing to be proud of."
Although she said that, judging from her small movements of glancing at the phone screen, she was not so peaceful inside.
At this time, her Weibo had already become lively.
Not only fans, but also many people in the industry also joined in the fun and praised it without hesitation.
"Yes, yes, Yifei is great. Then the two of us will go to Venice for a trip or something."
"Don't drag me down! I'm also one of the leading actors! I also want to travel at public expense!"
"Huang Bo, please stop coming and join in the fun. My sisters are traveling. Is it appropriate for you to go along with me?"
"Sisters are the best! I love you! Remember to bring me a gift!"
"I wonder what Producer Liu's next work will be? Do I have a chance to audition? By the way, it will also give me a chance to go abroad, haha."
No matter how much I dislike Liu Yifei privately, on the surface, everyone from big flowers to small flowers sent congratulations.
As for the emotions of jealousy and envy, we can only hide them deep in our hearts and savor them slowly.
"Comparing people with each other can really make people angry!"
Looking at the praise Liu Yifei received and her nickname of "Queen of Bad Movies", Yang Mi felt uncomfortable all over her body.
But apart from casting envious glances, she had no other thoughts or actions.
Although Zeng Jia shouted to Jiaxing every day that she must produce a film and television drama of her own, other than shouting slogans, she was never ready to take action.
Yang Mi has given up hope. She just wants the popularity of "Tiny Times" and "The Breakup Master" to pass quickly so that she can make a few literary films and try to win awards or something.
…
This night, Liu Yifei was very proactive.
In the past, Chen Fei requested some actions but she was not very willing to cooperate with them, but tonight, she took the initiative to do almost all of them.
The final consequence was that Chen Fei almost missed the filming plan the next morning!
However, just as he was falling into the gentle land, back home, the 64-year-old Old Monster Xu was also old-hearted.
But when the Hong Kong media exposed the news that Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were divorcing, everyone in the mainland was immediately stunned!
This old man, who is already 64 years old, actually arranged a divorce and chose a female assistant who was 30 years younger than him!
I have to say that men’s preferences have never changed.
It’s just a pity that the other half who has been with him for nearly 40 years, walked with him every step of the way, and supported him many times.
I think back then, if it weren’t for Shi Nansheng, Xu Ke would never have reached the heights he is now.
However, things are unpredictable!
The uproar and impact caused by Xu Ke's incident was extremely wide.
While the media reported on him, they also did not let go of other great directors who also had a lot of tidbits.
People such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, etc. are all key "care" targets.
After all, none of these people were fuel-efficient when they were young. Even though they are very young now, some of them are still not fuel-efficient.
Other directors who are married and have families have all been warned by their fans.
Especially Ning Hao.
Photos of him going to bars with Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others are still circulated on the Internet. At that time, he was almost "killed" by Xing Aina!
"Alas, it's an unprovoked disaster, it's purely an unprovoked disaster!"
Ning Hao called Chen Fei helplessly and told him about his recent experience.
"I was put in solitary confinement at home, and I was restricted from talking to those actresses outside. It's hard! Life is really too hard!"
Chen Fei was almost laughed to death by him. This situation is really unlucky.
"Can you please your sister-in-law more? Buy her some gifts or something, at least get her freedom back first! Otherwise, it's too hard."
"Alas, you don't know how strong a woman's mood swings are during those few days of the month. I feel that if I have any thoughts or actions of resistance, she will eat me alive!"
"Hahaha, I'll mourn for you for a few minutes in advance."
...
Fade Chen always felt that there should be some explanation in the Hong Kong circle.
This big news either doesn't appear, or it appears one after another without interruption!
Look, Xu Ke just announced his divorce from Shi Nansheng, and only one day later, a blockbuster was suddenly announced.
And when they saw the name of the project, the faces of a group of mainland filmmakers were instantly filled with deep shock and disbelief!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny?"
When the familiar four words came out, all filmmakers in the mainland and Hong Kong instantly dreamed back to the grand occasion when a domestic film first got 100 million box office in North America.
I never thought that after 14 years, I could still watch the second part!
A lot of news instantly flooded the major entertainment news websites and successfully occupied the headlines.
"Reprinted from Xiangjiang Daily: The sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was produced by Hollywood film company Lantern Entertainment and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, has been officially approved!"
"It is reported that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" will be directed by the famous action director Yuan Heping, and Yang Ziqiong and Zhen Zixun will appear as the male and female protagonists respectively, and will once again participate in the competition for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."
"According to director Yuan Heping, Lantern Entertainment Company is involved in the screenwriter and producer team of the film, and the post-production will also be benchmarked against Hollywood blockbusters, and it is bound to surpass the previous work! ”
“…”
As news came out one after another, people in the domestic film and television circles quickly turned their attention away from Xu Ke.
This is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
If you want to substitute it into the Internet's thinking, this is definitely a big IP!
Let me ask, why did Zhang Ziyi win the title of "International Zhang"? Wasn't it because of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?
It is also because of this movie that Chinese-language films successfully opened the door to the Oscars, and also created Li An's glory.
For the Chinese-language film and television industry, the symbolic significance of this movie is absolutely extraordinary!
Even though he was in Hollywood, Chen Fei received the news at the first time.
However, unlike other people who focused on the movie itself, his eyes fell on "Colored Lantern Entertainment" at the first time.
If he remembered correctly, the copyright of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" originally belonged to Weinstein Films .
And now a company called "Colored Lantern Entertainment" has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so he had to be cautious!
There are no secrets in Hollywood, and soon he got the news.
It turned out that this Colored Lantern Entertainment was founded by Harvey's younger brother Bob!
Since Harvey was arrested, the Weinstein Company was subsequently forced to go bankrupt and was liquidated.
As Harvey's younger brother, Bob chose to take over everything.
He used the newly founded Colored Lantern Entertainment as the buyer to purchase the bankrupt Weinstein Films.
After repackaging, Colored Lantern Entertainment was officially established.
This company enjoyed all the glory of the previous Weinstein Films, and at the same time abandoned all of Harvey's scandals and became a powerful independent production company.
And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny" is the first project led by this company.
"The beginning is the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth! "
Fade Chen suddenly felt a little emotional. Without Harvey, the backbone, Bob's level simply plummeted.
When he turned his attention back to the mainland, he suddenly found that with the establishment of the project of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny", Zhang Ziyi got another wave of popularity.
As the "International Zhang" who became the top actress in the domestic entertainment industry with the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she took the initiative to post several Weibo posts as soon as the second movie was successfully established:
"I am very grateful for the help of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and sincerely hope that the sequel can continue the glory of the former and achieve a double harvest of box office and awards again!"
"Director Yuan Heping is the action director I admire most. I believe he can definitely shoot more exciting fighting scenes!"
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Yang Ziqiong for successfully getting the leading actress..."
Qiu Ya is getting married, and she is singing and dancing here, which is really a show of no bottom line operation.
On the other side, Zhen Zixuan is also not to be outdone!
"First of all, I want to thank Director Yuan Heping for trusting me. Here I can make a promise to my fans and all the crew members. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations and will definitely perform this movie well! Deliver a performance that will impress everyone." Everyone is satisfied with the answer..."
His words were very high-profile, but they also aroused doubts from many people.
"You, Donnie Yen, do you still have any fans?"
At the same time, many people in the industry have questioned Yuan Heping.
It is not uncommon for martial arts instructors to serve as directors, but Yuan Heping is a special case.
After all, the film "Su Qier" he once filmed won the title of "Schizophrenic Narrative Film", which confused many film critics!
And now, he is going to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of the Dark" again, and he doesn't know what kind of final effect it will have.
