Chapter 780: Betting? Many Big-Budget "Movies" Are About to Be Released!

Here, the news of Chen Fei's new movie starting shooting is still hanging high on the Weibo hot search list, and it has not fallen for a long time.

On the other hand, in the film market, a number of films released in February have gradually declined.

Looking at it, "Charlotte's Troubles" is still the strongest, and the current box office has reached 1.8 billion. If the subsequent key extension is added, the box office of 2 billion is just around the corner!

As the main actors of the film, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Yin Zheng and others became popular overnight, and the popularity is terrifying!

Second only to "Charlotte's Troubles" is "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" directed by Xue Xiaolu, and the current box office has reached 1.26 billion.

As she replaced Yang Mi as the heroine of the second part, coupled with the explosion of the movie, Wan Qian's status has also risen, and she has officially joined the ranks of first-line actresses.

The heroine of a movie with a box office of more than 1 billion is very rare in the entire film industry!

It is no exaggeration to say that you can count them with just two hands.

The third on the Spring Festival box office list is "The Man from Macau 2" co-produced by Emperor Entertainment Group and Feiyue Films. The total box office has reached 900 million yuan, and the two investors have made a lot of money.

"Dragon Blade" and "Wolf Totem" ranked fourth and fifth with 850 million and 716 million respectively.

As for other movies, there is no need to pay attention to them, as they are worse than the last!

Especially "Where Are We Going, Dad 2", which was praised by netizens as the best of the bad movies and the rotten fish and shrimp in the "money-making world"!

At the same time, with the end of the Spring Festival, major film companies in the industry have once again set off a new round of competition.

In a blink of an eye, several more movies have announced their release dates:

"The movie version of "Diaosi Nanren" - "Jianbing Man", which is controlled by Sohu and co-produced by Wanda and Xinli, has been officially released on July 17! It will compete in the summer vacation schedule."

"Starring Guo Fucheng, Gong Li, Feng Shaofeng, Xiao Shenyang and others, the large-scale magical blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon", with a production cost of up to 540 million, officially announced its completion today and will be aimed at the Spring Festival schedule."

"Produced by Huayi and directed by senior director Guan Hu, it brings together Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yi The movie "Old Cannon" starring powerful actors such as Fan, Li Yifeng, Zhang Hanyu, and Xu Qing held a high-profile wrap-up ceremony in Beijing and publicly announced that it would compete in the Lunar New Year period. "

"The youth suspense movie "I Am a Witness" directed by An Sang-hoon, written by Gu Xiaobai, and starring Yang Mi, Lu Han, Wang Jingchun, Zhu Yawen, etc. will be released in the mainland on October 30. It is reported that this film is adapted from the Korean movie "Blind Witness"..."

With the release date and wrap-up of these movies, the Chinese-language film market has once again ushered in new vitality, and at the same time, a new round of competition has begun.

"Why choose November? Isn't the National Day period in October okay?"

At Jiaxing Media, Yang Mi was quite puzzled when she saw the release date of "I Am a Witness" announced.

In her opinion, the seven-day holiday in October is too suitable for a movie to pursue high box office. As for November, it is purely an unpopular period and has no advantages at all.

The most important thing is that the movie "Sicario" starring Liu Shishi is scheduled for the summer vacation!

That is a popular schedule. If that woman can chase it, why can't I chase it?

In a trance, she even felt that things have changed.

Many years ago, actresses such as Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Shu Chang, and Wan Qian had to line up behind her.

But now, they have caught up one by one, and someone has surpassed her!

Is choice really more important than hard work?

In a trance, Zeng Jia's voice sounded in her ears: "National Day? Don't dream. I heard that the main theme movie "Operation Mekong" directed and starred by Director Chen has been scheduled for the National Day. How can we compare with it?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi was speechless.

No wonder she hasn't seen any news about the release of any big-budget movies on the National Day recently. It turns out that they are all avoiding "Operation Mekong"!

…

The next day, Chen Fei got up early and woke Liu Yifei up.

If he had dared to wake Miss Liu up on weekdays, he would have been bombarded with criticism!

But now was the filming period, so she wouldn't have complained if he woke her up in the morning or woke her up in the middle of the night.

In terms of professionalism, Liu Yifei was one of the best actresses Chen Fei had worked with.

"Hold me up."

She put her arms around Chen Fei's neck, and Liu Yifei acted coquettishly with sleepy eyes, her body fragrant and soft.

Chen Fei put his hands around her waist, held her horizontally, and walked to the bathroom together.

"Let's go take a shower, so we can wake up quickly."

"You can take a shower, but you can't do bad things!"

"What kind of person am I?"

As expected, the crew started filming a little later today.

Chen Fei used the excuse of "traffic jam" without blushing or beating his heart. Everyone did not suspect him and quickly got back to work.

Only Liu Yifei, who was putting on makeup not far away, rolled her eyes and muttered quietly: "Puppy! Chen Fei is a puppy! He is not obedient at all! He always does bad things!"

...

In a blink of an eye, the morning shooting was over.

At lunch time, Ning Hao happily approached Chen Fei and handed him the tablet in his hand.

"What is it?" Chen Fei asked subconsciously.

Ning Hao said mysteriously, "You will know after you take a look."

Hearing this, Chen Fei set his sights on the tablet and immediately laughed.

This year's 6th Golden Broom Awards are freshly released. Looking around, those directors, actors, and movies that were controversial last year are on the list!

Yang Mi successfully won the Most Disappointing Actress Award with the two movies "Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age" and "The Breakup Master".

Zhen Zixuan successfully won the Most Disappointing Actor Award with the two movies "Ice: The Gate of Rebirth" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven".

Guo Jingming won the Most Disappointing Screenwriter Award and the Most Disappointing Director Award for "Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age", and won the Golden Broom Award for the second time.

Deng Chao won the Most Disappointing Film Award with "The Breakup Master", winning the "Grand Prize" for the first time!

At this time, many fans in the comment area were scolding the Golden Broom Award for being biased and that the award was too bad.

But in Chen Fei's opinion, although the Golden Broom Award is a folk award, the award results are still quite fair, at least much fairer than the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Horse Awards!

"I can't even imagine if I were on this award list, would I be so ashamed that I would quit the circle?"

Ning Hao said with emotion, his words were full of resistance to the Golden Broom Award.

Chen Fei laughed: "Then you are still not thick-skinned enough. Look at Guo Jingming, who is already taking advantage of the popularity to promote the final episode of his "Tiny Times."

With the announcement of the Golden Broom Award, Guo Jingming immediately held a press conference and officially announced it to the public.

"The fourth film in the Tiny Times series, The End of the Soul, directed by me, has been officially scheduled for release on July 9 and will compete in the summer vacation season.

Since we have agreed not to separate, we will be best friends even if we die!

At the same time, the documentary The Best of Us in the Tiny Times series will also be launched on multiple platforms on July 20. This documentary contains precious behind-the-scenes footage that has never been exposed before, as well as creative clips from scratch. I hope everyone can go and support it..."

Once this person is shameless, the speed of making money will naturally usher in a wave of blessings.

With the popularity of the Golden Broom Award, the popularity of Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul soared all the way and rushed straight to the Weibo hot search list.

And the leading actors Yang Mi, Amber Kuo, Amber Kuo, Xie Yilin, Chen Xuedong and others have also received a lot of attention!

"Mi Mi, this time, you will have to face off against Liu Shi Shi again."

"Come on, who's afraid of who!"

Yang Mi was very confident. After all, Liu Shi Shi had always been defeated by her before.

Although she was lucky to get the help of Feiyue Film and Television this time, she was paired with a third-tier male actor. In addition, the story of the movie was still a war theme. Looking at it, it did not have the conditions to become popular.

On the other hand, "Tiny Times 4" was a movie that was sought after by a large number of fans. How could Liu Shi Shi compare?

Zeng Jia also had the same idea. She did not take Liu Shi Shi seriously at all. After all, they had won too many times before.

The two did not talk deeply about the topic of summer vacation, but mentioned another thing.

"By the way, Mi Mi, I have good news here. Do you want to hear it?"

Zeng Jia suddenly lowered her voice, revealing an unconcealable joy in her tone.

Hearing this, Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Zeng Jia's unusually bright eyes, and couldn't help but become curious.

"What good news?"

"Hey, our company has a new investor!" Zeng Jia smiled proudly, "It's a big player in the industry. They saw our development potential and plan to invest a large sum of money."

This news was like a heavy bomb, instantly causing a storm in Yang Mi's heart.

She knew very well that this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Jiaxing Media, which was in a critical period of development.

"What is the specific number? Can the company be directly promoted to the listing?"

Hearing Yang Mi's question, Zeng Jia's smile froze.

"Mi Mi, what are you kidding? How can it be directly promoted to the listing? Capital is blood-drinking. How can they inject so much money at one time? It has to come one round after another."

"Oh, so that's it..."

Yang Mi was somewhat disappointed. She thought that with the current development of Jiaxing, she could reach the sky in one step.

But at this moment, Zeng Jia suddenly added: "In fact, it's not that there is no way to speed it up."

"Oh? What?"

"You must have heard that there is a very popular operation method in the film and television industry now, and its name is - betting!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi's heart suddenly shook, and her eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.

...

Since the project of "The Great Wall" was officially announced, from auditioning to training, the time has spanned a full 6 months!

Finally, in mid-March, the film officially ushered in the start time.

After getting up in the morning, Chen Fei hurried out the door, ready to rush to the launch ceremony of "The Great Wall".

Liu Yifei slept in this morning because the crew of "The Worst Man in the World" had a morning off. They would not resume filming until Chen Fei and Ning Hao returned from the launch conference.

As one of the most anticipated movies in the industry, the launch conference of "The Great Wall" has attracted great attention from the industry.

When Chen Fei rushed to the scene and met up with Ning Hao, he saw many familiar faces around.

Jiang Wen, Han Sanping, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Xu Ke...

Ning Hao looked around and suddenly asked curiously, "Huh? Isn't Brother Chen Kai also in the capital during this period? Why didn't he come to the launch conference of "The Great Wall"? "

"I can't lose face." Chen Fei hit the nail on the head and pointed out the pain point of the great poet Chen.

When "The Great Wall" was selecting a director, Brother Chen Kai was also a competitor, but in the end China Film chose Zhang Yimou instead of him.

This made Brother Chen Kai, who thought he was very capable and had a high status, very unhappy. He had said in public many times that the latter was just a mud leg.

He had already lost once in the 2008 Olympics, and now he lost again. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face in public!

In this case, it would be strange for Brother Chen Kai to come!

"Chen Fei, Ning Hao, come here! What are you two doing there?"

Jiang Wen's roar attracted the attention of many people at the scene. When many actors saw the two, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Only the group of "standing out from the crowd" old men were very arrogant. After a cold snort, they all walked away.

Chen Fei didn't regard them as human beings at all. He didn't even look at them. He chatted with Jiang Wen on his own.

"Director Jiang, I heard that you are preparing for the third part of the Beiyang Trilogy recently? Is it true?"

"I am indeed preparing." Jiang Wen nodded, without any intention of hiding it: "When you have time, you can go and read Zhang Beihai's original novel "Hidden Heroes". I plan to develop it around this novel..."

Chen Fei suddenly regretted asking him.

It would have been better if he didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned the new script, Jiang Wen immediately pulled him to chat non-stop.

Even if someone came to say hello during the period, he didn't leave, just stared at the person.

After scaring the person away, he pulled Chen Fei to start chatting again, and repeatedly asked him to read the original novel and give him some suggestions when the time comes.

Until the official launch of the "Great Wall" press conference, he finally calmed down.

"Damn it, if I had known it would be like this, I would have said hello to him..."

Chen Fei looked helpless and almost fainted by Jiang Wen's "tightening curse".

…

With the official start of the launch conference of "The Great Wall", director Zhang Yimou and his team of actors immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Looking around, Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and other stars slowly walked out from the backstage entrance, and every step was accompanied by warm applause and countless flashing shots.

In the front row, Chen Fei, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Feng Xiaogang and others were very close to the main creative team, and they could even communicate easily.

Without exception, every actor cast a greeting look when they saw them.

Jing Tian even smiled and waved to Chen Fei, attracting the attention of many people.

In an interview with the media, Zhang Yimou was full of expectations and confidence in the upcoming "The Great Wall", and even said that he would make this work a real international blockbuster!

The actors were all in high spirits, especially Jing Tian, ​​who stood out in the crowd.

Facing all the professionals, she earnestly expressed her understanding and love for the role, and her dedication and enthusiasm seemed to have made people see her wonderful performance in the film.

However, the highlights of this press conference were far more than that.

La Peikang, Zhang Zhao and the vice president of Universal also came to the scene to support, and their passionate speeches and bold words pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Offstage, the applause and exclamations of the media and guests came one after another, as if cheering for the future of this film.

However, looking at this grand occasion, Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh.

A movie launch conference was so grand, how would it end after the film was released?

And La Peikang.

He was smiling brightly on the stage, talking about the grand occasion after the success of "The Great Wall", and seemed to have forgotten the tragedy of "The Crossing".

Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and looked at Han Sanping.

As expected, Sanye's face was full of envy, as if he was wondering, why didn't he find such a good film project when he took the position of Chairman of China Film?

"Alas!"

Chen Fei sighed secretly and silently wished them good luck in his heart.

...

As soon as the press conference ended, relevant news was reported online.

"The Sino-US co-production "The Great Wall", jointly produced by Universal Pictures, China Film and LeTV, directed by Zhang Yimou, and starring Matt Damon, Jing Tian, ​​Pedro Pascal, William Dafoe, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and others, successfully held a press conference in the capital this morning."

"It is reported that after the press conference, all the crew members of "The Great Wall" will rush to Lingshan Bay Film and Television Cultural Industry Zone to officially start the shooting task."

"At the launch conference, many top directors in the industry showed up to show their support, but Brother Chen Kai was unfortunately absent."

"Temporary interruption notice: jointly produced by China Film, Huayi, LeTV, Bona, Movie Channel, Huace and other companies.

Directed by Wu Yu, starring Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Song Hye Kyo, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and others, the oriental love, disaster, 'epic' movie "The Crossing" has officially announced that it will be released on July 30 and will compete in the summer vacation..."
