Chapter 801 "Welcome and Welcome"!
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Jurassic World" has been released for 9 days, and the box office has reached 769 million yuan. The 1 billion box office is already close at hand!"
"The TV series "Welcome Together 2", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, has officially announced its launch. The original cast is still assembled, so stay tuned."
"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Liu Yifei serves as the producer and female lead, Chen Fei serves as the director and male lead, and Zhou Xun, Zhu Yawen, Liu Xiaoli, Shu Chang, Zhao Liying and others join the cast.
The literary drama film "The Worst Man in the World", which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Best Actress at Cannes respectively, was officially launched in theaters across the country today and began to be released. "
"According to theater chain data, the first-day screenings of "The Worst Man in the World" were as high as 32%, which is no less than commercial movies."
"Many people in the film and television industry posted movie ticket stubs online to express their support for the film's release. Fan Bingbing teamed up with her boyfriend Li Chen to book the theater to support..."
…
Today's filming of "Ready Player One" was slightly delayed. Many people on the set found that Chen Fei was a little distracted and didn't know why.
In the afternoon, amid everyone's astonishment, Chen Fei publicly announced that the crew would take a half-day holiday and would resume filming tomorrow.
Although everyone didn't know why the director was so kind, this rare half-day vacation undoubtedly gave many actors and staff a breather.
My heart has been tense for so long, it's good to relax once in a while.
Because it is right next to the "Ready Player One" crew, the "Ben-Hur" crew naturally received news in a very short period of time as soon as the holiday came here.
Johnny Depp is a weirdo. When he heard that the crew next door had stopped working, he gave up his job on the spot.
"After filming for so long, I need to rest. Are you really treating me like a robot?"
After complaining, Depp went straight to the lounge and played cards with his group of friends.
In the crew, producer Lauder and director Timo Bekmambetov looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces and could only let him go.
Of course, the crew will definitely not stop working here.
Although Depp's scenes were suspended, others were still able to film, so it was treated as a half-day holiday for him.
Because she received the check, Amber Heard has been waiting on the set and has not gone to a fitness trainer to get her hair done in recent days.
Seeing Depp abandoning the crew, she first called Megan Ellison to report, and then followed him into the lounge.
Through this period of understanding, Amber discovered that Megan is an investor who likes to get close to the crew. As long as he reports everything to her, his income will definitely become more and more abundant.
Although Depp is still often late, hungover, on drugs, and unable to remember his lines, he is still an actor with strong box office appeal.
With this condition, Amber Heard leads a very fulfilling life.
After entering the lounge and taking a glance at Depp and his group of friends who were playing cards, Amber rolled her eyes and pushed the door open into the bedroom.
The bedroom is very messy with a lot of things.
Amber's eyes fell on the table, where in addition to the wine bottle, there was a metal box engraved with Captain Spike's face.
The box is open and contains special supplies such as cigarettes, which is Depp's "spiritual" food to refresh himself.
Amber curled her lips, with a sarcastic smile on her face. She took out her phone and took pictures of the metal box, recording all of it.
Although she is Depp's legal wife, she has no love for him at all.
The reason why I was with Depp was just to enjoy a wealthy life that I had never enjoyed before.
If Depp was a normal actor, even if he was a playboy like Leonardo, Amber wouldn't care. At worst, everyone would just have their own thing.
But the problem is, he is a drug addict, and he is hated in the Hollywood circle.
If it weren't for the title of "Captain", he would be no different from a wild dog on the roadside.
Therefore, in order to enjoy a wealthy life in the future, Amber must prepare for herself.
She could see clearly that if Depp continued to be arrogant like this, he would be in big trouble sooner or later.
And when that time comes, she must escape unscathed and take away a large amount of his property!
After taking the photo, Amber adjusted her makeup in the mirror and walked straight out of the lounge.
Depp also noticed his beloved woman at this time, and immediately asked: "My dear, where are you going? Aren't you going to stay and play with me?"
Amber curled her lips secretly and kept walking. She was already out the door before she responded: "I'm going to do my hair."
At this time, one of Depp's friends suddenly said: "Boss, why does my sister-in-law like to do her hair so much these days?"
Depp's brain had been corroded by alcohol and he couldn't figure it out at all. He simply responded casually: "The more beautiful she dresses, the more successful she is, doesn't it make me more successful? Hahahahahaha!"
Soon, a group of people fell into carnival again, and boxes of beer were delivered one after another, and the smell of medicine filled the room.
…
Los Angeles Airport, exit gate.
When he saw the figure wearing a white dress, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly greeted him.
He and Liu Yifei had previously agreed to come over after the movie was released, but Miss Liu couldn't wait any longer, so she changed her ticket to one day in advance.
No, I flew all the way here today.
When she saw her sweetheart, Liu Yifei ignored the opinions of the surrounding tourists and fans and rushed over. The impact forcefully pushed Chen Fei back several steps and almost fell down.
"Chen Fei, I miss you so much!"
"Me too."
He leaned over and kissed her red little mouth. Fade Chen put her down first, then took her little hand and walked out.
"Let's go and cleanse you first."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Miss Liu's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she muttered in a low voice: "Although it's already night, is there any need to be in such a hurry? I just got off the plane."
"What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?" Chen Fei gave her angrily: "I mean, let's go eat first."
"Oh, okay."
"Listening to your tone, it sounds like you are quite disappointed? How about we go pick up Feng Xichen first?"
"Let's eat first. I'm hungry and I don't have the energy."
"Haha, okay, let's recover our strength first. After all, we have a lot of exercise at night."
…
After dinner, the two returned to their mansion in Beverly Hills and exercised from 10 o'clock until 2 o'clock in the morning, when they finally stopped.
Liu Yifei, who was covered in fragrant sweat, leaned quietly in Chen Fei's arms and stuck to him tightly.
The atmosphere in the room was thick, and the two of them didn't feel too sleepy at the moment, so they simply checked out the relevant information about the movie "The Worst Man in the World".
It happens to be daytime domestically, and after a day of hot screenings yesterday, the movie box office and related movie reviews have been freshly released.
"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, directed by Chen Fei and starring Liu Yifei as the female lead, the literary drama "The Worst Person in the World" grossed 77.68 million at the box office on its first day of release, and the reputation is overwhelming..."
"Film critics have received mixed reviews. Those who like it call it a masterpiece, while those who don't like it call it a piece of junk that is thrown in the trash can and no one picks it up."
"Liu Yifei's acting skills have been recognized by most people in the industry. This Cannes Best Actress truly deserves her award!"
Chen Fei knew that the film would receive mixed reviews after it was released in China, and he was mentally prepared.
If you want to win awards at foreign film festivals, your film's subject matter must be quite biased, and it will definitely not be able to meet everyone's expectations.
This has always been a characteristic of literary films.
"It's an interesting and sad story. The relationship between the female protagonist and her father cannot be reconciled, so the male protagonist actually plays a part of the role of a father. He understands what she said so much that I love you, but I don't love you anymore."
"I feel that this is a feminist song of freedom, and the twelve rhythms of her life. I can't say I like it very much, but it is smooth and comfortable to watch, especially the vivid and realistic love between men and women."
"A thirty-year-old young woman lives casually, stopping and going without knowing exactly what she wants. Her life is out of focus and aimless. She gets the freedom she wants, but she also pays a price for her life. Became the worst person.”
"The movie doesn't give an answer to the right or wrong choices in life. How you live your life is your choice. However, if the identities of men and women were reversed, a proper scumbag movie would be hammered to death! The screenwriter is so brave. !”
"This is a film that I can't understand. Isn't she just a scumbag? Forget it, I won't recommend it. Director Chen, let's see you in the next film."
"Why did this film win the Palme d'Or? I can't understand it. I really can't understand it. The more I watch it, the more confused I become."
"Isn't this just promoting women's rights..."
…
Liu Yifei's mentality has been very strong now, and she did not change her mentality because of a few comments on the Internet.
What's more, she had endured so many scoldings in the past, but now there were only a handful of them, and it was nothing to her.
However, as a producer, she is quite sensitive to box office.
"Huh? The box office on the first day was more than 70 million. Is this a trend towards reaching 1 billion?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Fei was a little dumbfounded: "This film means that we are relatively well-known, plus there are so many well-known actors as guest stars, and the popularity of the Palme d'Or and Cannes Film Awards, otherwise it would not be a big hit at all. spray.
It is estimated that it will only be popular for a few days. Once the audience's curiosity subsides, the daily box office will naturally plummet. "
"Okay, so that's it..."
Liu Yifei pouted, her face full of reluctance.
Chen Fei saw that her expression was not right, so he suddenly changed his tone: "Let's do this. During this period, I will give you a commercial film script, and you will be the producer and challenge the high box office. How about it?"
"Okay! Okay!" Miss Liu suddenly beamed.
Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Chen Fei immediately took advantage of it: "Then... it's not too much for me to accept some rewards in advance, right?"
"Do you want any reward? Do it again? But I'm so tired and don't want to move."
Hearing the sound, Chen Fei chuckled: "It's okay, you don't have to move the whole time, just lie down and then lift it up a little..."
…
The next morning, Chen Fei came to the crew refreshed and entered shooting mode again.
Although I was quite tired from the whole process last night, my body has been tense for such a long time. Taking some time to relax will help my mental state recover. It feels very good.
At the same time, as the crew of "Ready Player One" officially entered filming mode, "Ben-Hur" on the other side also started moving.
Megan Ellison arrived at the production area early in the morning.
Arriving at the rest area on the second floor, she drank coffee and watched the status of the crew next door through the window.
Compared with the chaos and lifelessness here in "Ben-Hur", the situation next door is completely different. From the director to the actors to the staff, everyone is full of passion.
Ellison sat in the lounge for two hours from 7 o'clock.
Although she couldn't clearly see the specific filming process of "Ready Player One", she could tell through the staff's constant adjustments to equipment and transitions that a lot of material was collected there.
In turn, look at "Ben-Hur".
Megan Ellison walked out of the green room and glanced across the set.
Producer Lauder, director Timo Bekmambetov, and a number of supporting actors and staff were present and had even started preparations for filming.
But the most important male lead, Depp, was not present!
She came to Lauder and asked, "What's going on with Depp? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Lauder shook his head helplessly: "He held a party in the lounge last night and it didn't end until 3:30 in the morning. I heard that he then moved to the dancer bar."
Upon hearing this, Megan Ellison suddenly couldn't hold back her anger.
She took out her mobile phone and called Amber Heard directly.
Another hour passed, until the time came to about ten o'clock, and a nanny car arrived belatedly.
The car door opened, and Amber almost dragged Depp out of the car.
Depp walked staggeringly, as if he was still drunk. His deep-set eye sockets did not need makeup at all, just like Captain Sparrow's dark circles.
Obviously, he is still in "flight" mode.
Megan's face darkened, and she suddenly felt that a lot of dollars had been blown away by the wind.
Fortunately, director Timo Bekmambetov adjusted the shooting plan and moved all Depp's scenes to the afternoon. Otherwise, he would not have been able to shoot the entire scene within the stipulated time!
"Let him sober up quickly!"
Megan growled low and didn't want to stay on the set of "Ben-Hur" for a moment. She simply got in the car and went straight to the set of "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts".
During this period, when passing by the entrance of the "Ready Player One" crew, she clearly saw Chen Fei demonstrating moves to the actors. Everyone was listening very carefully, including Leonardo and Matthew McConaughey, two Oscar winners. Movie king!
Seeing this, Megan Ellison couldn't help but become worried.
Strictly speaking, he snatched "Ben-Hur" and "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts" from Walton Pictures because she bid higher than Chen Fei at the auction.
From scripts to investment to production teams, these two projects are top-notch in the Hollywood industry and have a high probability of success!
"If the movie loses money in the end, Johnny Depp, I will never let you go!"
At this moment, Megan Ellison, in addition to hating Depp for all kinds of uncooperativeness, also had huge doubts about her father's Oracle company's big data analysis library!
…
Because Liu Yifei is here, Chen Fei doesn't have to worry about some special "big melons" being accidentally left out.
For example, the large-scale costume film "Women of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" produced by China Film, co-directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Shiqing, starring Fan Bingbing, Li Ming, Ning Jing and others, officially announced that it will be released on July 30 , it was Liu Yifei who reminded him.
However, it was accompanied by a proposition: "Who is bigger, me or Fan Bingbing?"
Chen Fei keenly discovered the pit inside, and immediately responded righteously: "How do I know this? I haven't seen Fan Bingbing?"
This answer was barely qualified, so a smile suddenly appeared on Miss Liu's face.
"There's more, there's more."
She held up her phone and showed Chen Fei another piece of news.
"In view of the fact that Wu Yifan, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and other Chinese artists have left one after another, failed to abide by contract provisions, blatantly violated performing arts regulations, etc., SM Company officially announced today that it will open personal studios in the Chinese market for its Chinese artists Zhang Yixing, Song Qian and others …”
"Hey? Have you finally figured it out?"
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
If SM continues to strictly control the return of Chinese artists to develop in China, Zhang Yixing will not surprisingly announce his departure in a while.
The second episode of the first season of "Extreme Challenge" was officially broadcast last night, and once again won the first place in the ratings for the same period.
As one of the resident guests, Zhang Yixing's popularity naturally experienced a surge, and he soon caught up with Wu Yifan and Lu Han, who returned home early.
With domestic development so good, only a fool would continue to return to South Korea.
SM is cutting their wrists to survive. I think this wave of operations should be able to temporarily stabilize those Chinese artists.
After paying attention to these "fresh melons" on the Internet, Chen Fei opened his mailbox and read an email sent to him by Jiang Xuerou.
Following "Born Together 2", the online drama "Undocumented Crime" is the first to confirm the cast.
Now we just have to wait for Chen Fei's approval, and the crew will officially issue contracts to the actors and prepare to start the filming plan.
"Qin Hao, Deng Jiajia, Yao Lu, Dai Xu, Wang Zhener..."
To be honest, Chen Fei was quite surprised when he saw this list of actors.
Qin Hao, the little prince of art films, and the "little aunt" in the Love Apartment, starred in a crime-themed web drama. This is indeed somewhat subversive from the roles they played before!
However, as an actor, you naturally have to have the courage to challenge yourself.
Chen Fei is still very optimistic about the two of them. Maybe when this web drama goes online, it will bring a big surprise to the whole network!
