Chapter 752: The Tired Cow? The Confident "Mountain Eagle"

On December 2, in the morning, almost the entire film industry was quietly paying attention to the box office performance data of "Pacific Rim 2".

When seeing the relevant box office data information released by many theaters online, all the production companies in the industry suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Especially the film producers preparing to compete for the Lunar New Year box office, it was like eating a fly, very disgusting and like a fishbone stuck in the throat!

"The Sino-foreign co-production "Pacific Rim 2", jointly produced by Feiyue Films, Lucasfilm, China Film and other companies, starring Wu Jing, Jing Tian and others, won 160 million yuan in the first day of its domestic release, and received rave reviews from the entire network!"

"Pan Asia, Wanda, China Film Association and other cinema chains have increased the number of screenings of "Pacific Rim 2" again today, and its share has reached 48%!"

"According to industry experts, "Pacific Rim 2" will most likely become the box office champion of the Chinese New Year this year, and the total box office will target 2 billion yuan!"

"Reprinted from the Hollywood Daily, "Pacific Rim 2" North American box office exceeded 80 million US dollars on the first day, and the box office performance was a big hit!"

"The pressure has been put on domestic blockbusters such as "The Crossing (Part 1)", "One Step Away", and "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2". Let's wait and see."

The "reality" of the cinema chain is well-known. They don't care whether you are an imported film or a domestic film. As long as you make money, they will give you more screenings.

What's more important is that theaters like imported movies much more than domestic movies, because the producers of imported movies share 25% instead of 43%.

This also means that while the distributors China Film or Huaxia Film Company earn more, theaters can naturally share more profits.

Based on this, theaters will only schedule more films for imported movies, while domestic movies will be more unlucky.

The single-day box office of "Myeongryang" is only 510,000, "Machine Age" still has 720,000, and Tuina has dropped to 120,000.

As for "Huang Feihong: The Hero Has a Dream", it only has 2.36 million.

Looking around, only "The Best Life for a Coquettish Woman" is still relatively strong, with 14.93 million in new daily box office.

Near noon, a fleet of several luxury business cars drove into the Capital Airport.

For a moment, the reporters, paparazzi, and illegitimate fans who were squatting at the airport suddenly became excited and rushed up one by one with cameras.

When the door of the business car opened, the reporters became even more excited.

Looking around, Zhang Yimou led Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and nearly 20 other people to the airport.

"Wow! Look! These are the members of the crew of "The Great Wall"!"

"So, are they preparing to leave for Hollywood for training?"

"Quickly shoot! Jing Tian waved to us. She is so awesome now. "Pacific Rim 2" is a big hit at the box office. Her status, position and strength are steadily improving!"

"After the hit of "The Great Wall", Jing Tian should be able to catch up with Liu Yifei's achievements, right?"

"It's still a long way to catch up with Liu Yifei, but there is no problem in catching up with the four Dan and Shuang Bing."

There was a lot of noise outside the airport, and people were sitting in a mess.

The China Film Group obviously knew that there would be a situation of being watched, so they arranged a lot of security to cooperate with the airport to maintain order.

In order to avoid causing a riot, a group of people walked very fast, fearing that they would affect the normal order of the airport.

However, because Wang Junkai and Lu Han in the encirclement waved to the outside from time to time, there were constant screams at the scene, and some young female fans even cried and shouted to squeeze in.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but frowned.

He understood why the investors would pull these two traffic stars into the project, just for the subsequent box office results of the movie.

But the key question is, these two people don't even have a little acting skills, can the effect of the film really satisfy the audience?

After sleeping until noon, Chen Fei just opened his eyes and saw Liu Yifei blinking her big eyes at him.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

As he said, he yawned and even felt a little sore in his waist.

On the other hand, Liu Yifei's cheeks were red at this time, and she looked energetic, not like she was tired all night.

This made him secretly sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, only the cows are tired to death!

"I'm not sleepy anymore. I've been awake for more than half an hour."

Liu Yifei came over with a smile, poking the muscles that still had teeth marks with her white jade hands, humming a strange tune.

Fai Chen looked sideways, and he could clearly see the seductive curves through the gap in the quilt.

He stretched out his hand mischievously.

But the next second, Liu Yifei suddenly pushed him away, saying angrily: "You can't do bad things in broad daylight."

Fai Chen didn't listen to her at all, and pulled her over and hugged her in his arms.

Miss Liu was still struggling at first, but in the end, she didn't care at all.

~

When the two woke up for a nap, it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Fai Chen put on his clothes and took Liu Yifei, who was still bright and charming without makeup, out to have lunch first.

Then, the two parted ways.

Miss Liu was going to find Shu Chang, while Chen Fei was going to the company to check out the film "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" edited by Han Sanping herself.

In the car, he saw many of the latest news reports:

"This morning, all members of the team of the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall" set off for Hollywood. There were many security personnel at the airport, but it was still difficult to resist the enthusiasm of the fans."

"According to relevant reports from the Film Bureau, the film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has completed all post-production and has been successfully submitted for review. In an interview with the media, Chen Kaige said that the film is expected to be released in the summer to attract more audiences. "

"The youth-themed TV series "Welcome Together", invested and produced by Feiyue Film and Television, was officially announced in Hengdian and is expected to officially debut on the Youku platform next year."

"It is rumored that the TV series production department of Feiyue Film and Television has once again launched a new TV series project. The relevant scripts have been sent to the relevant departments, but the specific situation is still unknown and needs to be further understood."

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Daily, the Chinese-foreign co-production film "Global Storm" has officially started shooting at the Volton Films filming base in Los Angeles. Wu Jing will once again participate in the Chinese-foreign co-production film. Let's wait and see his wonderful performance!"

~

Arriving all the way to the company, Chen Fei saw a smiling Han Sanping and a very excited Han Jianu in the screening room.

Both father and daughter were a little excited at this moment.

After the third master retired from China Film and Television, he joined the studio established by his daughter and was officially promoted to a "part-time worker".

And this "Hundred Regiments War" is the first work of Han Jianu Studio, and it is also the largest project that Han Sanping has directed independently.

Both of them have full confidence in this movie, so they can't hide their excitement at this time.

Seeing Chen Fei arriving, Han Sanping waved to him quickly: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come and see the finished film first."

"Don't worry, just pour some water first!"

Chen Fei wanted to say something more, but Han Sanping forced him into his seat, while Han Jianu beside him handed him a bottle of mineral water.

The next second, the words "One Hundred Regiments War" appeared on the big screen.

Helpless, Chen Fei could only watch the movie first.

The over-an-hour movie, mainly set during the Anti-Japanese War, tells the story of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party in the "Hundred Regiments War", uniting the masses of the people to work together, and launched a fierce and repeated battle for positions with the Japanese army, and finally Get a winning story.

In the film, all the characters fit the image and character of the ancestors and martyrs very well, interpreting the hardships and difficulties of the Anti-Japanese War.

Regardless of whether they are generals or soldiers, veterans or recruits, men or women, the charm and brilliance of the characters in this film all come from a lively sense of reality, making people feel very immersed in it.

Although Han Sanping is older, her level is not low.

Most of those grand war scenes are shot from a wide angle, which fully demonstrates the grandeur of the war scenes and the raging war scenes.

After the 111-minute screening ended, Han Sanping looked at Chen Fei impatiently: "How was it? Does it feel good?"

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction: "In my opinion, the sophistication of this movie is not weaker than "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"."

Hearing this, Han Sanping immediately became happy, and the wrinkles on her face burst into laughter.

"That's good, that's good. It's not in vain that I stayed up all night, checking and debugging frame by frame."

Chen Fei asked further: "Has the schedule been arranged?"

Han Sanping said seriously: "I plan to schedule this movie to be released in September. September 3rd happens to be the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War."

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Releasing it as a gift film?"

"right."

Han Sanping did not deny it, but directly agreed.

"Okay, okay. If you need any help, just contact me."

Han Sanping laughed: "Don't forget to attend the premiere of "The Taiping Wheel (Part 1)" tomorrow."

Mentioning this name, Chen Fei's eyes became a little complicated.

He is really not optimistic about this project. You know, those directors in Xiangjiang can't even make a historical film, let alone an epic blockbuster?

However, Han Sanping seemed to be possessed by a ghost and was unwilling to give up on this project.

I just hope he can withstand the pressure from all directions by then!

The next day, No. 3 arrived successfully.

Early in the morning, the theater chain conveniently reported the next day's box office of "Pacific Rim 2".

The 180 million box office figures made many production companies feel numb, and they just felt that it was difficult to reach the top, and they were on pins and needles.

In particular, several movies such as "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" were under fire, and the screams continued.

The films "Massage" and "Automata" have been forced to be offline, just to provide more film schedules for the upcoming "Tai Ping Wheel (Part 1)".

Early in the morning, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got up early.

The official start time of the premiere of "Tai Ping Huan (Part 1)" is at 10 a.m., so the two of them had to arrive at the venue at 9:30.

Chen Fei himself said that once he put on the custom-made suit, he could turn around and leave.

But Liu Yifei's side is more time-consuming.

Especially the makeup process takes a long time.

It took more than an hour before she finally got dressed.

A black suit jacket, paired with a white shirt, the contrast between black and white is sharp, simple and elegant.

As for makeup, her long black hair and delicate makeup added a sense of elegance and fashion to her whole image, making her look more confident and charming.

Chen Fei had to admit that Miss Liu looked completely different after putting on makeup and without makeup, and even her figure and temperament seemed to have changed dramatically.

"How is it? Is it handsome?"

Liu Yifei stood in front of Chen Fei, looking up proudly.

"It's really good." Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his arm to her.

Miss Liu took a few steps forward and took his arm, and then the two walked out of the villa together.

Behind the door, Liu Xiaoli looked at this scene with relief in her heart.

She had been looking forward to this scene for a long time, and the most important thing was that no matter how she looked at it, Chen Fei met her requirements for a perfect son-in-law.

She was relieved to hand her daughter to him.

The premiere of "The Crossing" was held at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater.

In order to match the production cost of 500 million yuan and the shocking publicity topic of "war love epic", the producers directly raised the specifications of the premiere to the level of an international film festival.

Outside the Grand Theater, it was crowded and lively.

Today's red carpet scale and guest lineup are second only to "Pacific Rim 2" a week ago. This shows how grand this premiere is.

When Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet, media reporters on both sides rushed to take pictures, and the bustling fans screamed excitedly, and the scene was very lively.

"Director Chen, can you tell me what your next movie shooting plan is?"

"Director Chen, why did you refuse to direct the big production project "The Great Wall"?

"What is the latest TV series project that Feiyue Film and Television has submitted for review?"

At this moment, the reporters seemed to have turned into curious babies, and kept throwing questions to Chen Fei.

In response, he just smiled and waved to the fans on both sides, and did not respond at all.

After all, today is the premiere of "The Crossing". Even if he dislikes Wu Yu, he has to give Han Sanping some face.

So, let's enter as a spectator today.

Entering the venue, Chen Fei saw Jiang Wen and his wife and Ning Hao and his wife in the front row.

Although these two are competitors in this year's Lunar New Year period, they have a good relationship in private. They are now whispering together.

Chen Fei came over and asked curiously: "What are you two plotting?"

"Hey? Come on!"

Ning Hao was the first to react. After motioning Chen Fei to sit down, he lowered his voice and muttered: "Have you heard? Brother Chen Kai's "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has a problem."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately became interested: "What's the problem?"

"Didn't the General Administration just issue a ban on bad artists? But he, one of the representatives of the Chinese film industry, doesn't set an example, and he is even planning to keep the shots of some actors in "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Fei's mind suddenly appeared the name of "Prince Fang".

Except for this person, no one else has such great power.

"Then what?" He asked curiously, and the idea of ​​eating melons had reached its peak at this moment.

Jiang Wen on the side also leaned over and listened with interest.

But the next second, Ning Hao spread his hands and said, "I don't know what happened next. I only know that the film he submitted for review also contains some actors' shots, that's all."

"Damn, you're talking about it now without even getting the full information?"

Chen Fei leaned back in his chair helplessly. He was really upset by this kind of gossip.

Jiang Wen was quite calm: "Wait a little longer, it won't be long before there's news."

After chatting for about ten minutes, as the music in the theater sounded, the premiere of "The Crossing" officially kicked off.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that Wu Yu actually prepared a dance program for the guests present. The young girls dancing gracefully were quite pleasing to the eye.

But no matter how grand the show was, the quality of the movie still had to be considered.

Soon, as the interview with the main creative members ended, the film officially began to play.

The names of many well-known actresses from the island country appeared in the opening credits, which made Chen Fei's eyebrows tremble.

He secretly thought that Wu Yu, this old guy, was probably also disrespectful, and he was probably not much different from Wang Jing.

～

The directors who can really rank in the circle actually have "unique skills".

And the reason why Wu Yu was able to become famous in Hollywood earlier was naturally because he had the confidence.

Putting aside the story, just looking at the pictures, art, costumes, color application, camera movement and other details of "The Crossing", all of them are top-notch, and truly restore the wars of that era and the decadence of the superiors.

But as a movie, how can it be possible to put aside the story?

What made Chen Fei sneer was that the overall core of "The Crossing" and "Red Cliff" was exactly the same!

The backgrounds of the two movies are not only the war years, but also "anti-war" as the core and main line of the story!

"Red Cliff" promotes the anti-war spirit against the background of the Three Kingdoms.

And "The Taiping" promotes the "anti-war spirit" in the context of fighting against Japanese pirates and liberating the old era. It's like criticizing everything in this new era!

Offstage, Chen Fei felt more and more uncomfortable the more he watched.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely turn around and leave.

He really wanted to slap Wu Yu on the head, then point at his nose and ask: "What the hell is this?"
