Chapter 720 Beach Water Gun Flowered Pants!

In a blink of an eye, it was already August 1st.

Perhaps because his company also made animated films, Chen Fei was quite concerned about domestic animated films.

After many inquiries, he found a news report about "Dragon Nest: Dawn Cavalry" in a very inconspicuous column.

At the beginning of creation, this animated film had slogans such as "online game adaptation", "large-scale animated film", "", and even invited Hu Ge, Jing Tian, ​​Xu Jiao and others to dub it.

However, when it charged towards the second half of the summer vacation with the belief of winning, it was tragically "broken head and bloody".

On the morning of the 1st, when the first-day box office data of 7.16 million came out, the industry knew that this animated film was going to fail.

Although the film reviews and word of mouth were very good, the screening schedule given by the theater was too low, which was not enough to make it recover its costs.

The main reason was that there were too many blockbusters at the same time, and the theater lacked confidence in it.

Even if the screening rate will be increased later, it will not be much.

Because on August 1, "Guardians of the Galaxy" from Hollywood and produced by Marvel was launched.

So far, the number of movies that have been released and have received much attention has reached an astonishing 6!

The good screening rate has been taken away by blockbusters and movies produced by big companies, and movies such as "Dragon Nest" can't get high-quality screenings at all.

The emergence of this situation has undoubtedly hit the confidence of many companies that want to make animated films.

With such a large investment and such a poor rate of return, what's the point?

And even if there is a tall enough tree to take shade, whether it can make a high-quality animated film is still another matter.

For a time, the gold content of Feiyue Film and Television's animation film department skyrocketed!

The first movie broke 1 billion, and the second one has also rushed to 750 million yuan, which is obviously also heading for 1 billion...

This rate of return is really fierce, and it is definitely No. 1 in China!

"If we can go public, won't we make a fortune?"

Many investment banks have started to think about it again, but when they think that the boss of this company is Chen Fei, they are relieved.

This kind of boss is a super blood cow company, even if it is not listed, it can live very comfortably, because he doesn't care about these things at all.

...

"The three newly launched TV series have already started casting, and the industry has a high reputation. Director Jiang Xuerou is in charge of this aspect. In terms of TV series business, her professionalism is unquestionable.

Director Zhong Lifang also led Xie Miao, Liu Shishi and the rest of the crew of "Sicario" to the Golden Triangle, and they are about to start filming.

According to your instructions, we have reached a cooperation with Longxiang Security, and they will provide protection throughout the process..."

Listening to Su Guohai's report, Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction.

The company's businesses are all proceeding in an orderly manner, and he, the chairman, doesn't need to worry about it at all. This feeling is not to mention how good it is.

Chen Fei casually took the sun hat and put it on his face, and asked again: "How is the "Mermaid" project going?"

"It is still progressing steadily. The audition for the female lead has been eliminated from 120,000 to 60,000. It is expected to take another two months to end."

"Okay, I know."

Hanging up the phone, taking off the sun hat, Chen Fei's eyes fell on the sunny private villa beach.

The dazzling sunlight made him a little uncomfortable. He took the sunglasses from the side and put them on. He felt much more comfortable.

The next second, a loud noise suddenly came from below.

"Quick, adjust the lens, make sure to get the focus right, and make sure the photos and videos taken are clear..."

In the angle, several cameramen from Xiao Li's company were adjusting the lens and aiming them all at the main entrance of the villa.

After receiving feedback from the other side, Chen Fei picked up the intercom from the table and shouted directly: "Leon, Toby, you can come out."

Following his order, the door of the villa was soon pushed open from the inside.

The first person to run out was Leo's best friend Tobey Maguire.

He carried a water gun on his shoulder, and the sun shone on his body. Although he was not very strong, his extremely conspicuous abdominal muscles seemed to be reflecting the light.

Behind him, Leo's appearance formed a very sharp contrast with him.

The latter was wearing a pair of colorful big shorts, with a big belly, beard flying in the wind, and his greasy body was exposed. Where was the handsome Jack?

Chen Fei didn't need to direct the next process, because Leonardo understood it too well.

He ran wantonly on the beach, trying to chase Tobey Maguire.

After shooting the other party with a water gun, seeing Tobey Maguire turned around to prepare for revenge, he quickly turned around and ran to the other side of the beach.

Because Tobey Maguire was chasing him closely, he had to hold the water gun in one hand and hold his flowered shorts with the other hand, holding his head high, showing his big belly, laughing, and running away...

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the water gun game.

What looks and what figure, he had completely forgotten.

In the corner, several cameras were shooting at Leonardo, especially those scenes where he lost his image, which were specially captured.

Chen Fei had already arrived behind the monitor. After confirming that the material was enough, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Okay, call it a day, the post-production team is ready to work!"

After they gathered the cameras and other equipment, Leonardo happened to run back from a distance.

Looking at the photos that had lost all their image, he couldn't help grinning: "Fei, are you sure this is really okay?"

Chen Fei glanced at him and replied: "Believe me, you have shown a super high level of acting skills in "The Revenant", which is enough to win an Oscar.

And what we are doing now is to tell the Oscar judges that it is nothing to destroy your image during the filming of a movie, even in reality you can do it! "

Although this statement does have some truth, Leonardo just feels weird for some reason.

The person in charge of post-production asked aloud: "What kind of photo should we choose?"

Chen Fei said bluntly: "I don't want the handsome ones. I'll just pick out the fattest and ugliest photos."

The corners of Leonardo's mouth twitched. He was about to say something, but when he thought that this was all for the Oscar for Best Actor, he finally endured it.

His psychological quality is still very strong.

After a while, he had convinced himself.

What's the point of posting a few ugly photos? As long as they have money, fame and status, young models with blond hair, long legs and under the age of 25 will still take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms.

Half an hour later, the interception of ugly photos officially ended.

The post-production staff clicked on the photo to play automatically, and then photos of Leonardo holding a water gun appeared on the screen in turn.

Chen Fei's eyes were very sharp, and he would point to one of them from time to time: "This, this, and that, these are all fine."

Tobey Maguire, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but snickered as he saw the expression of complete despair on his best friend's face.

Because these photos selected by Chen Fei all vividly show Leonardo's fatness and greasiness.

Especially the photo of him holding a water gun in one hand, holding up flowery pants with the other, running wildly with his head held high and his belly puffed out, is even more vivid!

At this time, Chen Fei had already started a new plan: "You will then sell these selected photos to major Hollywood newspapers and ask them to report it."

As he said that, Chen Fei turned to look at Leonardo, who had a sad face: "Do you have any photos of your youth? Give them all to the newspaper and let them publish a comparative report.

Only through comparison can we draw conclusions. Only in this way can we reflect the efforts you put in for performance and break the prejudice and inherent impression of those old white men against you. "

"OK."

Leonardo has begun to show off.

Even if you decide to take ugly photos, what does it matter if you post a few handsome photos?

Soon, his female assistant found a photo of the young Li Zi.

When Chen Fei put the handsome photos of the past and the ugly photos of the present together, the contrast instantly became extremely strong, which was very shocking. What has Leonardo experienced in these years?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures of these photos.

"What are you doing?" Leonardo looked at him confused.

Chen Fei suppressed his laughter and explained very seriously: "The number of fans on my Twitter, Facebook and blog has exceeded nine digits. I can help you with some publicity."

"Oh, then...then thank you!"

Leonardo said reluctantly.

…

After arranging all subsequent arrangements, Chen Fei quickly left Leonardo's villa.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would laugh out loud, which would be too embarrassing.

After getting in the car, he immediately logged into his social account and posted a comparison of Leonardo's previous handsome photos and current ugly photos, with the following text:

"Let me introduce to you, this is the most handsome guy in Hollywood 10 years ago, and the most handsome guy in Hollywood now."

Not only did he post the photos on blogs, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms, he even logged into his Weibo account and also posted a copy of the photos.

After a while, the comment area exploded!

Because of the time difference, stars and fans in Hollywood were the first to react.

Kate Winslet responded in shock: "Oh God! My Jack, have you really died in the Titanic disaster?"

Following her reply, other female stars who had worked with DiCaprio came over to join in the fun.

Claire Denis: "The male idol has turned into a greasy uncle? I really can't accept this fact!"

Cameron Diaz: “If it hadn’t been for my friend’s identification, I wouldn’t have believed that this man with a water gun could have been the most handsome guy in Hollywood!”

Carey Murray: "What has Leonardo experienced in these years? Has life destroyed him to this extent?"

After the incident was almost settled, Chen Fei contacted a heavyweight guest and appeared in the comment area.

Gisele Bundchen: "Although I hate Leonardo's playfulness, I have to say that in order to get rid of his inherent image and hone his acting skills, he paid a lot of sacrifices. This is what I admire most about him."

As soon as this comment came out, the wind direction below suddenly changed.

The heroines of the two movies "The Great Gatsby" and "The Revenant" both said that Leonardo made great efforts in the crew for his acting skills.

Chen Fei took screenshots of all these and sent them to Leo, and reminded him: "Next, follow this model to promote. Believe me, this is definitely more effective than attending a hundred public relations banquets or sleeping with 100 old women."

"Okay, Fei, I will definitely listen to your arrangements."

Leonardo vowed to make a promise, and at the same time found an excuse to contact his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, who was recently divorcing her husband.

…

The next day, many Hollywood entertainment media published Leonardo's latest "beautiful photos", which spread his popularity again on a large scale.

"Vanity Fair", which is favored by Hollywood's top stars, directly used Leonardo's water gun photo as the cover of the new issue.

In addition, the magazine's article homepage also published a carefully drafted soft article:

"In order to achieve a breakthrough in acting, Leonardo paid a huge price for it. He not only broke through the inherent image in the film, but also deliberately pursued changes in life, just to become a widely recognized powerful actor..."

This carefully designed article is very well written, and the two photos in sharp contrast seem to have proved the fact that Leonardo has become a good actor.

The first impression of many people after seeing it is that Leonardo is no longer the handsome Jack in the past, he has become a real actor!

With the spread of multiple parties, this photo and related articles became popular in the United States in a very short time, and even spread to the world!

For a time, countless people rushed to comment and help spread it.

For Leonardo, Chen Fei also took great pains.

There were even many fans of Xiao Li Zi under his Weibo, who scolded him, saying that it was because of him that Xiao Li Zi became what he is now.

For these remarks, Chen Fei didn't pay any attention at all.

After several accounts were banned, these people quickly calmed down and no longer dared to abuse.

No matter how many water armies come, it is useless, because they can change the code. Do you accept it?

...

It must be said that if Leo really takes action, his energy is also very large!

When Chen Fei was checking the first-day box office results of "Guardians of the Galaxy", he actually saw a photo of Leonardo holding a water gun on the cover of "Time" magazine.

Its editor-in-chief even wrote a sentence personally:

"Leonardo has ushered in his new life. He has made too much effort for art. I hope he can get the rewards he deserves."

Looking at these reports and public relations effects, Chen Fei is very clear in his mind.

In the next period of time, the whole of Hollywood will be immersed in the discussion that Leonardo destroys his image just to fight for his acting skills.

If nothing unexpected happens, the subsequent public relations and publicity will become very easy.

"The Revenant" took advantage of the situation and held several preview activities, attracting a large number of fans and critics, and won a lot of praise.

…

As a Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy has achieved quite good results even if it is only the first one.

In North America, it achieved a box office of 47.84 million US dollars on the first day of its release, and the IMDb score was as high as 8.6.

In China, it achieved a box office of 48.83 million RMB on the first day of its release, and successfully received many good reviews and praises.

However, it was precisely because of the release of this imported film that Tiny Times 3 finally came to an end.

After 13 days of release, the daily new box office has dropped to 2.02 million, and it is not far from being forced to be taken off the screen.

On the other hand, See You Tomorrow withstood the pressure with a single-day new box office of 2004.

For a while, Han Han's fans seemed to have won a big battle, and Guo Jingming's fans couldn't raise their heads for a long time.

It was still a long time before the Oscars, so after arranging the post-production special effects work of Avengers 2, Chen Fei began to plan to return to China.

Before leaving, he went to every branch and every crew to check the latest work and follow-up plans.

Then, he returned to the company and handed the script of "Global Storm" to Natasha.

"This is my latest sci-fi thriller script. You can register it first. After it is finalized, you can contact Roland Emmerich to see if he is interested in trying it."

"Global Storm?"

Natasha looked at her face, took the script, and read it with great interest.

This is a story about a satellite system that controls the global climate out of control, which caused a huge disaster, which is very consistent with the characteristics of Hollywood.

Science fiction background, grand story, many special effects scenes... very consistent with the hobbies of Hollywood audiences.

After roughly flipping through the script, Natasha looked up and asked curiously: "Fei, aren't you going to direct it yourself?"

"Forget it." Chen Fei shook his head slightly: "I have other things to do, let others shoot this script."

While speaking, Chen Fei thought of the phone call he received in the morning.

During the call, Director Tong, who had been promoted to the second-in-command of the General Administration, hoped that Chen Fei could return to China on August 10 to attend a joint meeting held by various departments.

The main point of the meeting is to formulate a targeted policy and strategy for the various chaotic phenomena in the current entertainment industry.

After all, these people represent China's external image and have a large number of fans.

If no restrictions are made, more and more people will follow suit in the future.

In this way, wouldn't the country's investment in drug prohibition over the years become a joke?

Chen Fei agreed to this invitation without hesitation.

For himself, for the company, and for this society, he felt that he should stand up and do something, instead of choosing silence like most people, or even acquiescing!
