Chapter 813 Journey to the West IP Zhou Xingchi? Forget It, You Guys Play, I Won’t Get Involved

Chapter 813 Journey to the West IP + Zhou Xingchi? Forget it, you can just play, I won't get involved

"The box office of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" reverses the decline and once again reaches the 20 million mark!"

"It is reported that the outdoor reality show "Run! Brothers", controlled by Youku and jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television and Enlight, will officially launch a new round of investment conference at the end of this month."

"Tangren Pictures announced: Following "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3," the third part of the 'Sword and Fairy Series', "Legend of Sword and Fairy 5," will be officially launched this afternoon at Hengdian Film and Television City , project launch conference.”

"It is reported that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 5", also known as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", will star Han Dongjun, Chen Yao, Zheng Yuanchang, Xiao Caiqi, Jin Chen and others. The starring cast is all actors from Tangren Film and Television..."

"According to the official website of the Film Bureau, the public list of film shooting permits for this batch shows that the script "Zhu Xian" of the same name, adapted from Xiao Ding's novel "Zhu Xian" and submitted for review by Feiyue Film and Television, has successfully passed the review."

"The urban inspirational business war drama "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and directed by Yu Ding, starring Zhang Yi, Yin Tao, Tao Zeru, Zhang Jianing, Gao Shuyao and others, officially started shooting in Yiwu today."

…

A new day has arrived, and a large number of press releases about the film and television industry have once again appeared on major domestic entertainment news websites.

I have to say that the IP of "Sword and Fairy" is really awesome!

This TV series, which carries the youth of countless netizens, immediately attracted the attention of a large number of netizens and "Fairy Sword fans" after it was announced.

So much so that the news that Feiyue Film and Television's new movie script "Zhu Xian" has passed the review was even suppressed at the bottom of the hot search list.

Looking around, in less than half an hour, there has been a wave of heated discussions about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on the Internet, full of emotions.

This wave of "memory killing" operations by the Tang Dynasty was extremely successful, and even temporarily suppressed the popularity of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao".

"Although Cai Yinong has some courage, it's a pity that there are not many. If we can gather all the original cast members to return, then "Five" will definitely be a hit!"

In the car, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh as he listened to Liu Yifei's serious analysis of the newly announced "Legend of Sword and Fairy 5".

"You really think too highly of her. With Tang Ren's current strength, how could it be possible to gather the entire lineup of you, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Hu Ge?"

Miss Liu shrugged: "That's why I said she has no courage. If she is willing to pay me several hundred million, I might agree to it?"

Chen Fei reached out and touched her little head: "Haha, she is only willing to spend 50 million on special effects, and she also asked for a discount. How could she give you several hundred million in salary?"

"That's true."

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue cutely and looked out the car window.

"'Harry Potter' is over, but it's still very popular here!"

"Of course, after all, this is the story of "Harry Potter"..."

Jingle bell bell! ! !

The sudden sound of the video invitation prompt interrupted Chen Fei's words. He subconsciously looked down and saw a video conference invitation appearing on the screen of his tablet computer.

"Huh? So fast?"

After muttering, he pressed the connect button.

The next second, a full view of a conference room appeared on the screen, as well as nearly ten familiar faces sitting in the conference room.

"Huh? So many people? It's quite lively!"

Chen Fei was the first to speak out, breaking the silence in the conference room.

"Can you see clearly?" Ye Ning leaned in front of the screen and asked softly.

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded and said hello to a few familiar people.

Zhou Xingchi also smiled and nodded towards him, with a very indifferent expression on his face.

This time, he has already paid out all the money that "accidentally" fell into Huayi's hands last time. Therefore, he doesn't mind a few more investors, as long as his own interests are not affected. .

As Chen Fei "arrived" via video, today's meeting officially kicked off.

Liu Yifei was sitting next to him, curiously looking over his head, his watery eyes blinking and falling on the project speaker.

A ppt is being displayed on the projector at this time. The project speaker is eloquent and chatters about the main structure of the project:

"The new movie is called "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". It is the sequel to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". It will be written and produced by director Zhou Xingchi, and directed by director Xu Ke... The total budget of the film is between 400 million and 500 million. It will be Add more special effects to present a visual feast to the audience...

The main selling point of the movie is the top IP "Stephen Chow + Journey to the West"... In today's fiery movie market environment, this IP undoubtedly has unparalleled box office appeal and is very likely to achieve a box office record of 3 billion for a single film. Inject new vitality into the market! "

Although this goal may seem high, everyone at the meeting knew that this film had such potential.

Not only because of Zhou Xingchi + Journey to the West, but also because of other factors.

"The lead actor Wu Yifan has a large number of young fans. His joining will undoubtedly bring more topics and attention to the film, and the producer has also joined a strong lineup such as theater chains, Internet background companies, and film and television bases to ensure that the project will start from scratch. The process from filming to post-production to release was smooth..."

Because he was participating in the meeting via video, Chen Fei could see the facial expressions and movements of everyone in the conference room.

When the project speaker mentioned the words "3 billion box office for a single film", you can clearly see that Wang Zhonglei became excited and beaming.

The stock market crash will continue. Even if the country comes to provide disaster relief, it will not be able to stop the decline.

As the leading listed company in the film and television industry, Huayi's stock price has plummeted even more miserably!

If there is good news, it may be able to stop the falling stock price, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is undoubtedly an excellent resource.

The same goes for other companies. Zhang Ye is also ready to go.

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is obviously going to be a hit. If coupled with the investment share of "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters", it will undoubtedly have an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

More than 10 other companies, such as Hengdian Pictures, Matt Films, Xiangshan, and Dadi Times, are surprisingly ready to "share the cake."

Half an hour later, as the speaker finished describing the main body of the project, La Pikang stood up.

"China Film, Xinghui and Wanda will take half of this project, and everyone here can allocate the remaining 50% according to their own strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhonglei stood up impatiently: "Huayi will provide all the resources it can for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Monsters," including but not limited to film promotion and supply of resources to its theaters... and we require distribution. The investment share obtained shall not be less than 20%!”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly burst into excitement.

Although everyone knows that Huayi, as one of the giants, will definitely take a lot of shares, but 20% is a bit too much, right?

Chen Fei looked at the scene in front of him happily and murmured to himself: "In order to stimulate the stock price, the big and small kings are also trying their best! I just don't know if they can do it smoothly?"

Before everyone could react, Zhang Hao also stood up and spoke confidently: "Alibaba can provide all resources that do not belong to Huayi, and our requirements are also no less than...20%!"

Is this 40% lost?

The expressions of the heads of the remaining 10 or so film and television companies have changed now.

If this distribution model is followed, there will now be only 10% left, but Chen Fei hasn't spoken yet.

If this person opens his mouth, can he also get 20%?

By then, I'm afraid it will be divided equally between Feiyue Film and Television, Huayi and Alibaba, and others may not even be able to drink some soup.

At this time, La Sheikang spoke again: "Chen Fei? What about you? What do you think?"

In his expectation, it should be 10% each for these three giants, and then the remaining 20% ​​should be divided equally among more than 10 other companies. This is the optimal distribution ratio.

Therefore, as long as Chen Fei opens his mouth, he will propose this distribution strategy.

However, the next second, everyone in the conference room was stunned!

Just because Chen Fei said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Forget it, 10% or 20% doesn't mean anything. Calculated, it's only tens of millions. I can't make much money, so I won't get involved and let other companies share it." Bar.

In the second half of the year, my company is planning to launch a fantasy-themed movie adapted from the novel. I plan to focus my energy on that, and "Journey to the West: Conquering Monsters" will not follow. "

"Okay, I admire Mr. Chen's self-sacrifice for others!"

Wang Zhonglei's tone was full of ridicule. After all, he had never agreed to let Feiyue Film and Television join in, but now he finally got his wish.

"Mr. Chen? You..." Ye Ning was stunned. He almost thought that Chen Fei's video link was stuck?

Zhou Xingchi also cast a surprised look: "Director Chen, I can promise you that the quality of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Monsters" is not inferior to "The Mermaid". This is an excellent investment opportunity!"

La Chikang frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything for a while.

He suddenly thought of the previous "The Great Wall". At that time, Chen Fei was just like now, refusing very simply.

"Is it possible that he is not optimistic about the project of "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons"?"

La Sheikang secretly guessed, but after all, he was not the roundworm in Chen Fei's belly, so he couldn't guess the reason for a while.

At this time, Chen Fei's voice came from the screen again: "Mr. Ye, Director Zhou, Director La, I would like to thank you all for your kindness. We will have another chance in the future, so let's forget it this time."

"Have you thought about it?"

La Sheikang's voice was a bit muffled. For some reason, he suddenly felt unsure and always felt very panicked.

His eyes swept across Xu Ke, Zhou Xingchi, and Wu Yifan sitting in the corner, and he suddenly felt a little more confident.

How could such a good project fail?

Westward Journey IP + Zhou Xingchi, this is recognized as an evergreen tree in the industry, much more stable than the stock market!

"La Dong, I've thought about it." Chen Fei chuckled: "I won't disturb you all while you chat. It's getting late here, so I'll go back and rest first. We can get together at home if we have time. "

After saying that, after nodding to a few people, he hung up the video link.

The tablet screen suddenly dimmed, and there was silence in the huge conference room. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they always felt that something was not right, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

"Since Feiyue Film and Television is not going to get involved, how about Huayi take 25% first?"

Wang Zhonglei's words once again aroused heated discussion among everyone, and the atmosphere quickly became active again.

…

On the way back in the car, Liu Yifei cast a curious look: "Why are you unwilling to participate in this project?"

Chen Fei responded calmly: "Why should I participate in a project that is destined to lose money?"

"Ah?" The confusion on Liu Yifei's face became more intense: "It seems that Zhou Xingchi has never lost money on his projects, right?"

Chen Fei shrugged, stretched out his hand and tapped her on the head: "Who told you that this was Zhou Xingchi's project? Did he participate in it? Or was he the director?"

Liu Yifei scratched her head in hindsight. She always felt that there was something wrong with what she said, but it seemed quite reasonable.

Silly girl is easy to fool, of course, mainly because she didn't want to go into details.

But it’s not easy to fool others.

As expected, Chen Fei received a call from Wang Changtian the next morning.

"I heard that Zhou Xingchi approached you for his new project, but you didn't get involved?"

"Huh? How did Director Wang know? You didn't seem to be in the meeting yesterday, right?"

"There are more than a dozen producers, how can they keep the news secret? I would also like to come, but I am not part of the Internet or the theater chain system, so they are not prepared to let me play at all."

Wang Changtian laughed at himself, and then asked quickly: "Tell me about it? Why don't you get involved in this project? Logically speaking, 'Journey to the West + Zhou Xingchi' is a guaranteed profit."

Chen Fei chuckled, but he didn't hide it from him, and started to spit without hesitation:

"You can tell from the choice of the leading actor. Wu Yifan has such shitty acting skills? How can he actually be the leading actor? If my guess is correct, this is a movie aimed at making money.

What's more, isn't it just a joke that Xu Ke directed a movie about Journey to the West? How could he, who shoots martial arts films, capture Zhou Xingchi's 'nonsensical' look? "

After hearing these words, Wang Changtian suddenly understood!

"No wonder, I asked you how could you choose to refuse to participate in investment? It turns out that's the case!"

"Director Wang, you just need to know what I'm saying, and try not to spread it out, okay?"

"Don't worry, I've always been tight-lipped."

Wang Changtian slapped his chest loudly and promised again and again.

…

The 15th is coming in two days, and many actresses are getting ready to participate in this online voting led by Ali.

Alibaba has done a lot of preparation work, and the Internet is extremely popular. From time to time, one or two topics will become hot searches.

However, just when most people in the industry thought that the hot searches during this period would definitely be dominated by Alibaba Pictures, other "movies" in the industry suddenly started to work hard!

The first is "Tiny Times 4" and "Gardenia Blossoms".

Because these two movies are about youth, they are in competition with each other, and they were released only one day apart, so fans of the two movies have been secretly competing with each other.

The former was released for 5 days, with a box office revenue of 384 million, and the daily new additions have dropped from 100 million to more than 30 million.

The latter was released for 4 days, with a total box office revenue of 296 million, and daily new additions of more than 30 million.

The two sides "bite" very tightly, and there are many negative reviews, which leads to serious mutual oppression.

In addition, Li Yifeng and Chen Xuedong are both young actors, and fans from both sides are also very fierce.

At first, everyone was relatively restrained, but as the movie's new box office continued to decline, both parties felt that they were being influenced by the other.

In an instant, all the controversies were fermented, directly forming a very fierce war of words!

Due to its unique conditions, Weibo has unsurprisingly become a "battlefield" for both parties. All kinds of vulgar words are posted as if for free, which is simply unsightly!

The two families were scolding each other, but on the other side, Brother Chen Kai actually joined the "hot search".

Following Liu Yan many years ago, another rookie reporter asked him a very pointed question:

"What do you think of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", which cost as much as 200 million yuan in investment but has plummeted in both box office and reputation? After all, before the movie was released, you once shouted a slogan of 1 billion+, but now This goal is still far away.”

This time, Poet Chen gained wisdom after eating an insect.

He did not slam the microphone angrily like he did to Liu Yan before, but instead responded positively in a very pretentious tone:

"I am indeed a little surprised by the results of this film, but I can accept everyone's criticism and doubts calmly.

As for the box office, I think those who only regard movies as a money-making tool are actually a great insult to the art of film!

Just exchanging movies for money is the most despicable thing to do, and I would never do that! "

These remarks undoubtedly caused an uproar in the industry.

However, what is surprising is that no major director stood up to refute Brother Chen Kai.

Because everyone went to see the latest box office data released by the theater chain, they saw that the new box office of "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has dropped to 7.45 million, and the reputation score is only 6.2 points.

As for the total box office of the movie, it has not even exceeded 400 million yet.

On the other hand, "Sicario" on the other hand, the box office has already reached 600 million!

Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, but Brother Chen Kai will be very angry when he is anxious, so no one wants to talk to him, just think that he is just farting out of boredom.

In the blink of an eye, two more days have passed.

Time has come to the 15th very smoothly.

At this time, in fact, everyone has no hope for the stock market, and most netizens have set their sights on the national voting for the heroine that Alibaba is about to launch.

However, before the voting officially started, the lawsuit between Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping, which has lasted for several years, suddenly rushed to the top of the Weibo hot search list, attracting countless people's attention.

At this time, everyone realized that New Picture had actually been closed for several years!
