Chapter 726 The Butcher Knife Falls! There Are Too Many Bombshells!
A new day has arrived quietly.
On the 16th, the first thing Chen Fei did when he got up was to pay attention to the box office performance of "Frozen".
As an animated film produced by Walton Pictures with an investment of up to 150 million US dollars, the box office performance of this film is crucial in the entire animated film system!
Fortunately, even though the headlines in the past few days have focused on those bad artists, it has not affected the box office performance of "Frozen" too much.
The data of 37.03 million RMB can be said to be a hang of all movies in the same period!
At the same time, the North American box office performance of this film also appeared in his mailbox.
As an original animated film, the first-day box office performance of 26.84 million US dollars is undoubtedly very qualified.
Of course, as an animated film, its box office performance only accounts for about one-third of the revenue of a film.
The real money is its derivative income.
According to the data in the mailbox, the same princess dress was sold out in North America on the day the movie was released!
Although this income is slightly slower than the box office revenue, its source of income is very stable and can last for a very long time.
After confirming that the revenue of "Frozen" was very stable, Chen Fei set his sights on other popular films.
In particular, "The Legend of Jianghu" produced by Xiying attracted his attention.
According to the statistics of the theater chain, the box office performance of this film was very poor, with only 2.4 million box office on the first day of release.
However, in the movie review area, there was a serious polarization trend of word-of-mouth!
It can be clearly found that most of those who expressed their likes were over 30 years old, and the comments they made tended to be mature and stable, and they thought the film was very realistic.
As for those who did not like it, it can be seen from the registration information that most of them were young people, and they thought the film was too shoddy.
After looking through the comment area, Chen Fei thought for a moment, picked up the phone and called Gu Yongqiang.
"You go contact Xiying. If the price is right, you can buy the movie "Record of Jianghu Sword Fighting" and put it on the platform."
"Record of Jianghu Sword Fighting?"
Gu Yongqiang was slightly stunned. He did not watch this movie, but he saw its first-day box office performance.
The data of 2.4 million can be said to be very miserable, and it is not worth paying too much attention.
However, since Chen Fei specifically reminded him, I think this movie should have its unique features.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will arrange it now."
Gu Yongqiang first agreed to this job, and then took this opportunity to mention another thing.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, "Extreme Challenge" has been prepared almost, and it is time to choose permanent guests next."
Chen Fei suddenly thought of another thing: "Has the first season of "Running Man" been recorded?"
"Soon, it will be finished in early September."
"Then find a suitable time to announce the new variety show project first."
"Okay, I know."
...
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei fell into deep thought.
The selection of permanent guests for "Go Fighting" is undoubtedly another difficult point.
The original guest lineup is quite good, but at the same time, there may be many explosive places.
"Oh, forget it, let's talk about it when the guests are officially selected."
Chen Fei murmured, and opened Weibo to see what the public opinion on the Internet has developed to.
However, as soon as he opened Weibo, he saw a very explosive entertainment news!
"Where Are We Going, Dad 2" on Mango TV had an accident, and a scandal was exposed!
The guest who claimed to be a "good father" and a "good man" actually did something dirty with a female staff member during the recording of the program!
Although the person who exposed the person did not name the name, it is actually no different from naming the name.
"Fuck, just thinking about it, it exploded."
Chen Fei cursed on the spot, with black lines on his forehead.
Although he quickly saw the clarification of the program team, saying that this was a rumor, but thinking about the character of that person, it seems that he is not incapable of doing such a thing.
When he was a teacher, he dared to attack students. Now when he was recording a variety show, it was normal for him to attack female staff members.
However, just when he was refreshing the news with relish, waiting for a bigger melon to come out, he refreshed the webpage and suddenly found that the hot search was gone!
"Tsk tsk, this is the evil capital!"
Chen Fei laughed at himself and didn't feel very strange.
He had long been accustomed to the usual means of capital to withdraw the hot search by spending money.
Of course, this kind of gossip hot search can be withdrawn by spending money, but on the other hand, the news of breaking the law and discipline cannot be suppressed even if you spend money, but no one dares to suppress it!
In half a month, four well-known actors were arrested, and each one had a more powerful background than the other!
These people are undoubtedly challenging the law and public opinion. To put it more bluntly, they don't take the eyes and voices of the outside world into consideration at all!
At this moment, the entertainment industry has been completely silent.
Those articles and posts that were still pleading for the "criminals" before have all been withdrawn, and the water army has retreated.
Looking around, there were only a bunch of young brainless female fans still jumping around, either crying and begging for mercy, or making a big fuss, saying that they would continue to support their idols even if they made mistakes.
However, what they didn't know was that this would only increase the official punishment of bad artists and would not make their idols return.
"Toxifying teenagers", this is a serious crime!
After arriving at the company, Chen Fei began to revise the script again.
He had a hunch in his heart that it wouldn't take long before his script could be submitted for review.
...
In a blink of an eye, another day passed.
On the 17th, an entertainment news briefly occupied the headlines of Weibo and major entertainment websites.
"After 47 days of release, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Transformers 4" successfully broke through 2.3 billion in the mainland box office, breaking the previous box office record of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" directed by Chen Fei..."
Although "Transformers 4" was lucky enough to get the key extension qualification, due to the decline in the number of screenings and the release of many new movies, its daily new box office is also declining.
As of now, the daily new box office has been reduced to less than 2 million, and it may only be one or two days away from the end of the screening.
This film can be said to be the most successful movie produced by DreamWorks in all these years.
The domestic box office has exceeded 2.3 billion yuan, the North American box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the global box office has soared to 1.4 billion US dollars.
This result is beyond everyone's expectations!
At present, DreamWorks is already preparing for "Transformers 5", and it is expected to be launched in 2017.
If it were in the past, the record-breaking box office of "Transformers 4" would definitely be written about, but at this time, it is destined not to receive too much attention.
Because as time goes by, the public opinion about whether to ban bad artists has reached the highest point!
Any Chinese has a deep hatred and shame for that thing!
Even if it is a thief, when he finds that thing during a burglary, he will choose to call the police, which shows how much it is hated!
The Sixth Princess has started to play the documentary about "Humen Destruction of Opium" on a loop these days.
Anyone with a slightly more sensitive nose can see that this time, the authorities will never give in again.
If nothing unexpected happens, the butcher knife will fall soon!
…
"I heard that the crew of "Heavenly Blade" has stopped working now. The eldest brother is in a very bad state. It seems that he saw his son being handcuffed with his own eyes.
And I saw the Hong Kong media report that the eldest brother used a set of drunken boxing on his son? He kicked him five meters away? Is this true or false?"
In the office, Hu Ge looked at Chen Fei with a gossipy face, trying to get some "melon" from him.
"How should I know? I didn't go to the scene to see it, and the Hong Kong media report is notorious for exaggerating. Who knows if it is true or false?"
Chen Fei shrugged and didn't reveal any news.
Of course, the most important thing is that he himself didn't understand the melon. It's impossible for him to call Chen Long to verify it in person, right?
"Well, okay."
Hu Ge sighed, feeling uncomfortable.
This melon is so unpleasant to eat.
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at him curiously: "So, you came to me today to ask me for these news?"
"No, no, no." Hu Ge waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously: "I came to say hello to you. I participated in Tangren's new drama "Tornado Eleven" and will play the leading role in it."
"Then what?"
Hu Ge scratched his head awkwardly: "You know Mr. Cai, he will definitely take advantage of the popularity later..."
"Hehe." Chen Fei was immediately happy and waved his hands casually: "I thought it was something else. As an actor, after playing a popular drama, it is inevitable that the next crew will take advantage of the popularity. This is normal, isn't it?"
"That's right, hehe."
Hu Ge grinned and felt a little relieved.
Although he had verbally agreed to Cai Yinong's invitation, he had not yet signed a contract with Tangren.
If Chen Fei expressed his concern today, he would definitely reject Cai Yinong at the first opportunity and completely draw a line with her.
But fortunately, Chen Fei didn't care much about this, so it was easy to deal with.
...
After sending Hu Ge away, Chen Fei paid special attention to the developments of Tangren.
It must be said that Cai Yinong is still a capable person.
After a period of silence, she regained her momentum and started to work on new projects.
According to the news circulating on the Internet, in addition to the "Tornado Eleven" that Hu Ge is about to star in, Tangren is also preparing to create a big IP live-action drama "Qin's Moon".
As a comic adaptation drama, and also a big IP like "Qin's Moon", it naturally received a lot of attention.
However, Chen Fei saw that many people on the Internet complained about the casting of this drama.
"Oh my god! Who chose this role? It's too inconsistent with the original novel, right?"
"So, they're still pushing Jiang Jinfu and Hu Bingqing. Are they going to choose the new top male and female stars of Tangren?"
"Damn, fans gave so many suggestions, but they didn't listen to any of them. It's strange that this drama can succeed. All the movies produced by Tangren are fucking rubbish!"
...
"Get ready and come to the meeting the day after tomorrow."
When Chen Fei received the call from Tong Gang, he was not too surprised.
Because La Beikang had said before that the boost was already big enough, the next step was to announce the results.
And if nothing unexpected happens, this result will break the last bit of fantasy in many people's hearts.
"Okay, Director Tong."
Chen Fei agreed directly, and at the same time put away the revised script on the table, ready to take it with him when the time comes.
He believed that the bureau would like his script very much.
The phone just hung up, and before Chen Fei put down the phone, Wang Changtian called in.
"Meeting! Another meeting! Hahaha!"
In this incident, none of the works and artists under Guangguang were exposed, which was undoubtedly a very good situation for Wang Changtian.
And if nothing unexpected happens, after this meeting, the General Administration will definitely tilt more resources to Guangguang.
As for Huayi...they are no longer worthy of being the leader!
"Haha." Listening to Wang Changtian's laughter, Chen Fei couldn't help laughing out loud.
But then, he reminded again: "This time, we must keep a low profile. We just put forward suggestions. The real decision is still made by the higher-ups. Let's not take credit for it."
"Of course!" Wang Changtian quickly responded: "This credit cannot be taken. If it is not good, it will bring trouble to the company."
Chen Fei smiled and said: "After this incident is over, I plan to start a new film project. Guangguang will definitely have a share at that time."
Hearing this, Wang Changtian's eyes lit up immediately.
"Good! Good! Good! The new project is good! Guangguang will definitely follow."
After a few words, Wang Changtian suddenly sighed again: "Alas, good projects are hard to get, and good directors are also hard to find."
Chen Fei was quite surprised: "Why did Mr. Wang say this?"
"Alas." Wang Changtian sighed: "Chen Jiazhen left, saying that he was going back to Hong Kong to revive Hong Kong films. "The Four Famous Detectives Finale" is our last cooperation."
Revitalize Hong Kong films?
Chen Fei was stunned, and wanted to laugh, but also felt a little sad.
Is there any possibility for Hong Kong films to recover?
…
On the 19th, it was another sunny day.
This time, Chen Fei did not arrive on time, but arrived at the venue in advance.
It was still the same seat, and the people on both sides were still the same, but the difference was that the mood of everyone at the scene had changed dramatically.
Ye Ning looked over and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But Chen Fei shook his head slowly and gave him a "low-key" look.
When they held the first meeting, they were already high-profile enough. Now there is no need to be in the limelight. Everything can be left to the leaders above.
Chen Fei originally thought that he would not see the two, but he never thought that the two would not be absent after all.
The two tiger fathers both had gray hair today, looking extremely lonely, even when facing the voices of people around them greeting them, they were still forcing a smile.
Looking at this scene, Chen Fei felt a little emotional.
Problems in the original family will really put children under great pressure, especially in the high-pressure entertainment industry. If you take a wrong step, there will be an abyss ahead!
"Mr. Chen, congratulations in advance. You finally achieved your goal."
Wang Zhonglei's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, attracting Chen Fei's attention.
He slowly turned his head and saw that guy was smiling but not smiling, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his eyes!
"Hehe."
Chen Fei gave him a fake smile and ignored him at all.
As far as he knew, Huayi's ass was not clean. After dealing with these bad artists, it would be the turn of these "bad companies" next.
This scene made Wang Zhonglei very angry, but he could do nothing about it.
He was about to say something else, but behind the rostrum, Tong Gang had already led people to the stage.
There was no special opening speech. The first sentence that came out of the microphone was:
"After more than a week of discussion, combined with the various illegal and disorderly incidents of public figures that have caused anger, indignation, and dissatisfaction during this period, the General Administration finally decided to ban all bad artists!"
As these words fell like thunder, the hall that could accommodate hundreds of people suddenly felt like a bomb was thrown into it, and a huge vibration sound broke out!
Fade Chen's eyes have always been on the two tiger fathers.
At this moment, the backs of the two men became more and more hunched, as if they were carrying endless debts.
In particular, one of them is a well-known...anti-drug ambassador!
Accompanied by the endless discussion, someone finally couldn't help but stood up and raised a question in a trembling voice:
"Director Tong, we want to know what kind of behavior will be regarded as a bad artist?"
As soon as this question came out, the entire venue suddenly fell into a state where a pin drop could be heard, and everyone was staring at the rostrum, waiting for the "trial".
On the stage, Tong Gang said indifferently: "The specific classification standards will be announced in the form of documents later, but I can tell you clearly that pornography, gambling, and drugs are not to be touched. I hope you will take this as a warning.
And once you are classified as a bad artist, you will not be allowed to appear in any screen works from now on."
These words fell into the ears of everyone at the scene, which was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue!
The noise resounded again, mixed with many voices of opposition and doubt, which sounded really harsh.
"Quiet!"
Tong Gang slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "Today, I called you all here to inform you that the ban has been confirmed. This is also the will of the people. Don't be lucky.
Next, the General Administration will selectively call relevant people in the industry to participate in the definition of the code of conduct for bad artists. A document will be issued within a week at the latest. I hope you can take it as a warning."
After that, under the gaze of everyone, Tong Gang called out the name of the first person.
"Chen Fei, since you are the first to propose a comprehensive ban, then you will participate in the definition of the code of conduct for bad artists."
Under the stage, Chen Fei, who had been silent all the time, raised his eyebrows slightly, with a slightly surprised expression.
He really didn't expect that Tong Gang would give him such a "surprise".
And Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Wu Kebo and others who were sitting not far away all changed their faces at this moment.
Let this gentleman participate in the "definition of the code of conduct for bad artists", isn't this going to kill them?
