Chapter 796: One Movie, One City! Breaking 2 Billion Again!

After all, Chen Fei still didn't agree to Zhong Lifeng's request. Although the "Zhu Xian" project was indeed quite good, it was actually just a love movie dressed in fantasy.

To be honest, he actually doesn't like this kind of subject matter.

Even Liu Yifei is the same, this kind of subject matter is not very suitable for her now.

However, Chen Fei did not immediately reject it righteously. Anyway, there is still a long time before the movie project is approved, so he can make preparations and select actors at the same time.

If we really can't find a suitable actor later, it won't be too late to discuss it later.

After sending Zhong Lifang away, Chen Fei processed a few more email messages, then picked up the "In the Name of the People" project book and went straight to the General Administration.

He is very concerned about this script and is looking forward to the day when the film will be produced.

Of course, the premise is that the script must be reviewed first.

He had been to Tong Gang's office many times, and this time he was naturally familiar with the route and arrived at his destination without any obstruction.

"Tong Bureau, I'm here to trouble you again."

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Fei handed the project book to Tong Gang with a smile and looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

"I won't be polite to you. There are paper cups on the table. Go and drink some water yourself."

Tong Gang waved his hand casually without raising his head, and his eyes fell on the script of "In the Name of the People".

As Chen Fei expected, at first, Tong Gang looked back at the content of the script with great interest, but as he looked at it, his brows could not help but frown, and his whole expression became a little more solemn.

More than half an hour later, he closed the script and the first thing he said when he looked up was: "This script is not simple!"

Chen Fei chuckled and said, "If it were simple, I wouldn't come to you personally."

Tong Gang murmured to himself: "Anti-corruption and promoting integrity are not problems, but the identity of the "ultimate tiger" behind the scenes is a bit too high!"

Before coming over, Chen Fei made a special effort to get to know him.

Before "In the Name of the People" appeared, the "biggest criterion" for anti-corruption dramas was that the villains could not be written at the provincial level.

But now, this script has a national-level existence, which means that the risks are not ordinary!

After thinking for a moment, Tong Gang asked: "Isn't this TV series exclusively produced by your company?"

"Of course it's impossible." Chen Fei shook his head firmly: "Feiyue Film and Television cannot bear such a heavy burden. If the script can pass the review, it will have to invite several suitable producers."

Tong Gang suddenly laughed: "Yes, your newborn calf's fear of tigers has been eliminated a lot, and your consciousness has also improved a lot."

"You are ridiculous." Chen Fei smiled modestly.

He is not stupid. He has a clear idea of ​​who he can offend to death, who he should keep a distance from, and who he should be friendly with.

"Let's do this." Tong Gang thought for a moment and suggested: "You can leave this script to me first, and I can help you ask Director Zhang to see if he can help communicate with the department.

Of course, don’t rest there either. Don’t you have a good relationship with Jindun? Let’s see if we can bring them in and find a few more units. It should be safer. "

"Okay, I understand!"

Chen Fei felt a sense of joy in his heart. As long as Tong Gang didn't refuse sternly when he came up, it meant that there was a great hope that the script would pass the review.

However, he was not ready to find Jindun immediately.

The success of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has allowed the industry to see what a true theme movie is!

If "Operation Mekong" can continue to be a great success, Feiyue Film and Television's advantages in main theme film and television dramas will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

By then, if we propose to cooperate with "In the Name of the People" again, I think the success rate will be greatly improved!

Tong Gang highly recognized his idea:

"Based on your current achievements, you will definitely enjoy corresponding privileges. There is no doubt about this. And if "Operation Mekong" can be successful, there will definitely be more main theme movies coming to your door in the future. This is a great thing. !”

"Thank you, Director Tong, for the tip."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go ahead. I have a meeting to attend later."

"good."

After responding, Chen Fei walked out of the door and walked towards the elevator with Secretary Tong Gang seeing him off.

However, just as he got on the elevator and was about to close the door, he subconsciously glanced around the corner on the other side and saw Brother Chen Kai and Chen Hong walking towards this direction.

The two of them seemed to have encountered some happy event, with faint smiles on their faces.

The elevator door just closed at this time and fell downwards.

Chen Fei turned to look at Tong Gang's secretary and asked curiously: "Why is Director Chen Kai here too?"

"It seems like he's here for his new movie project."

"Oh, that's it..."

Chen Fei suddenly remembered some old things.

In June of 2010, because Brother Chen Kai was going to film "Shaman Kukai: The Ghost Banquet of the Tang Dynasty", the Xiangyang Tangcheng Film and Television Base project was officially launched.

Now, after five years of construction, it is finally completed.

And this also means that Brother Chen Kai’s new project can officially start!

Poet Chen's "one movie, one city" operation is also well-known in the industry, but I don't know if he will continue to make some messy things this time.

…

In a blink of an eye, the time has arrived on the 27th.

After finishing work in the morning, Chen Fei drove back home, picked up Miss Liu who had already dressed up, and rushed to the cinema together.

Just today, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass" produced by Disney Pictures officially landed in mainland theaters.

Miss Liu liked this magical adventure movie very much, so she wanted Chen Fei to accompany her to watch it.

It happened that one of the leading actors in this movie was Johnny Depp, and Chen Fei was quite curious about him, so he agreed to Liu Yifei's invitation.

The two came to the cinema, bought movie tickets, popcorn, and carbonated drinks like ordinary couples, and then walked into the theater in a low-key manner.

Sitting in the back row, wearing 3D glasses, Liu Yifei soon immersed herself in the movie story.

The story of this movie is actually very simple, which tells the story of the female captain Alice being summoned back to Wonderland, stealing the "Time-Traveling Magic Ball" in order to save her friend "Mad Hatter", and unfolding an adventure story about love and search.

The overall character relationship and story outline are closely connected with the first part. Although it is a new story, it has not deviated from the theme of truth, goodness, and beauty, and a happy ending.

The story begins with Alice bravely breaking through all kinds of adversities in the world in the mirror and intending to help the Mad Hatter find his family. The warm drama is full of energy, and there are also many funny moments.

In the end, the Mad Hatter's family successfully reunited, the Time King was safe and sound, and the Red Queen also opened her heart... It is very consistent with the happy ending of the fairy tale.

Disney is still very smart.

In order to cater to the Chinese market, Alice's ancient costume appeared in the second part, and there were even product placement advertisements for domestic products at the end of the film.

It has to be said that Disney has also taken great pains for the domestic market.

Liu Yifei was very happy to watch it, especially when she encountered touching clips, she would be moved to tears like other fans around her.

Chen Fei, on the other hand, was a little disappointed.

Johnny Depp seems to have never been able to get rid of the identity of "Captain". When playing the role of "Mad Hatter", he completely relied on the template of "Captain" to perform.

Crazy, unconventional, unique...

After watching a movie, Liu Yifei was satisfied, but Chen Fei questioned Depp's acting skills.

Can such a person really play a role like "Ben Hur"?

It's not worth it. What did Megan Ellison think? She actually chose him. Is it because he is famous enough?

I have to say that this big data is really terrible!

...

In a blink of an eye, accompanied by busy work, May has come to the last day.

This morning, a large amount of entertainment news appeared on the Internet, which made people dazzled!

"Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass, an imported Hollywood blockbuster produced exclusively by Disney, was released in domestic theaters for three days and the box office was reported to be 175 million yuan."

"The action and crime film "Drug War 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Golden Harvest and starring Andy Lau, Tim Koo, Michael Miu, etc., was released for 30 days and the total box office was reported to be 1.323 billion! The online reputation score is as high as 9.0!"

"The superhero science fiction blockbuster "Revenge" produced by Marvel and directed by Chen Fei, starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, etc. "Avengers 2", released for 18 days, the total box office closed at 2.063 billion! The daily new box office is still maintained at about 35 million!"

"The second work of 2015 that broke 2 billion box office was officially born, "Avengers 2", stunning debut! Director Chen Fei has achieved another success!"

"Reprinted from Xiangjiang Entertainment News, the action/crime film "Chasing the Dragon" jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Golden Harvest has officially announced the starring lineup this morning. Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Zheng Zeshi, and Tang Zhenye will star in it!"

One after another, hot searches hit the headlines of major entertainment news websites, giving a feeling of blooming flowers and competing for beauty.

However, Chen Fei's eyes were fixed on a series of operations by Chen Jingfei.

After the failure of "Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape", he was silent for more than a month, and he appeared in the vision of the film and television industry again.

But this time, he did not appear as an investor, but as Yang Caiyu's agent, and recommended the latter to many film and television companies.

In another month, Yang Caiyu will officially graduate, and by then, it will be the time for her to officially enter the film and television industry.

Obviously, Chen Jingfei is paving the way for her in advance.

The industry can see clearly that he is preparing to promote another "little Liu Yifei".

Even the press releases released by major media are discussing how long it will take for Yang Caiyu to reach the height of Liu Yifei when she just graduated?

However, both inside and outside the circle are not optimistic.

Want to copy Liu Yifei again? How easy is it?

...

"Let's go, it's time to set off!"

While Chen Fei was paying attention to the online news, the bedroom door opened, and Miss Liu, who was tied up in a high ponytail and showed her youthful beauty, walked out.

The destination of the two today is the Huairou Film and Television Base in the capital.

The filming location of "The Great Wall" has been moved from Qingdao to the capital, and it has been open to visiting the set recently. In addition to the strong invitations from Zhang Yimou, Matt Damon, and Jing Tian, ​​the two decided to go to the appointment today.

The flight to Los Angeles has been applied for tomorrow afternoon.

Therefore, this visit to "The Great Wall" is Chen Fei's last trip in China.

In the car, the two talked about the follow-up arrangements for the movie "The Worst Man in the World".

"You are the producer and heroine of this movie. When the time comes, the promotion will mainly rely on you. I have asked Su Guohai to rent a promotion booth at the Magic City Film Festival. When the time comes, you will lead the team..."

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

Liu Yifei nodded while listening to Chen Fei's words, and kept everything he said firmly in mind.

After arriving at the Huairou Film and Television Base, led by Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo, the two went all the way to the filming site of the movie "The Great Wall".

At this time, the crew was in the process of filming, and many actors were shooting on the scene, and many people were watching on the sidelines.

The arrival of Chen Fei and Liu Yifei caused a big commotion on the scene.

Zhang Yimou waved his hand towards this side, but did not directly call for a stop, but continued filming.

"Director Chen, Yifei, why are you two here?"

Liu Dehua and Zhang Hanyu happened to have no scenes to shoot at this time, so they were the first to greet them.

Others in the crew also turned their heads, but they were very sensible and did not come over, just looking at this side with envy.

"We came to visit the set."

Chen Fei responded while looking at the crew scene that was being filmed.

With the director Zhang Yimou's "Action", several soldiers on the city wall quickly took action.

They wore armor of different styles and colors, held different weapons and shields, and marched in an orderly manner according to the careful instructions of the crew dispatchers.

Arrows, spears, and various weapons drew graceful arcs in the air, and then fell under the city wall, as if an ancient war was being staged.

Of course, there must be no "enemies" under the city wall at this time, only a huge green screen was laid below.

Because this movie tells the story of the Great Wall Guards fighting against the Taotie army, the location where the green screen was laid was rendered with the state of the ferocious "Taotie army" attacking in the later stage.

However, in this tense and orderly battle preparation, Chen Fei was attracted by the sound of war drums on the side.

He turned his head curiously and saw a group of slender and gorgeous female soldiers beating drums to cheer.

Their drumming movements were soft and graceful, and even had a hint of enchantment, as if they were conveying some mysterious orders with the drums.

The scene in front of him surprised Chen Fei very much.

He suddenly doubted whether this horse was really fighting?

Whose way of beating drums on the battlefield would be so fancy? This was completely different from the majestic image of a drummer on the battlefield that he had imagined.

But on second thought, this is a movie after all, and the plot is reasonable, and the key is that the picture is attractive enough.

"Chen Fei, look, Matt Damon is here!"

Liu Yifei excitedly shook Chen Fei's arm and pointed to a place above the Great Wall.

Chen Fei looked over and couldn't help laughing.

Compared with the Great Wall guards wearing colorful armor, the mercenary played by Matt was much more miserable, wearing tattered clothes and untidy beards, just like a beggar.

After standing on the sidelines and watching for more than ten minutes, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei to the front until the filming of this scene was finished.

"Here we are." Zhang Yimou had a kind smile on his face.

"Well, the two of us came to visit." Chen Fei nodded and turned his eyes to the location of the monitor.

Zhang Yimou introduced him cheerfully: "You can come and have a look. This ALEXA-56 camera is really good. The pictures taken are very high-definition. Even human hair can be clearly seen after the pictures are enlarged..."

Chen Fei curiously came over and listened to Zhang Yimou's description of the special features of this camera.

Next, when shooting "Ready Player One", Chen Fei also plans to use this camera, so this is a pre-familiarization.

At this time, Jing Tian, ​​wearing blue armor, and Matt Damon holding a bow and arrow just walked down from the city wall.

"Sissi!"

"Tiantian!"

The two girls hugged each other as soon as they met, and then ran to the side to whisper.

Matt Damon came over to greet Chen Fei first, and then turned around to find the makeup artist to re-make up.

Although the two people's visit to the crew caused quite a stir in the crew, it did not delay the progress of the filming of the movie.

After resting for more than ten minutes, the filming of the movie continued.

However, watching the next filming content, Chen Fei was speechless again.

A group of female soldiers tied ropes around their waists, like dumplings, one after another jumped down from the top of the city wall, holding spears in their hands, making similar stabbing movements.

When seeing this scene, Chen Fei even thought of the words "making a nest".

I don't know what the screenwriter was thinking. There is such a good defense as the Great Wall, but a group of female soldiers jumped under the city wall to launch a suicide attack. Isn't this crazy?

Feng Chen obviously noticed that Zhang Yimou's brows also frowned.

However, the producer from Universal Pictures was very satisfied with this scene and nodded from time to time, as if the scene in front of him was very consistent with his requirements.

Seeing this, Chen Fei secretly felt lucky that he had resisted La Peikang's "sugar-coated bullet" and sternly rejected the invitation to be the director of "The Great Wall".

Otherwise, it would not be Zhang Yimou who had a headache sitting here today, but Chen Fei!
