Chapter 830 What Is the Real "IP Development"? The Ghost Blows Out the Light Movie Universe Plan Makes a Stunning Appearance!

Chapter 830: What is true “IP development”—The Ghost Blowing Deng Movie Universe Plan makes a stunning debut!

"Three days after its release, the box office of the gift movie "One Hundred Regiments" continues to rise and has now reached 186 million yuan."

"The youth-themed TV series "Classmates Together 2", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, was officially announced today and is expected to be launched on Youku during the school season next year."

"The spy TV series "The Pretender" starring Jin Dong, Wang Kai, Song Tie, Hu Ge and others has continued to increase in online clicks, with a viewership share of 6.14% and a ratings of 2%. It remains stable at No in the same time period .1!”

"Directed by Johnnie To and starring Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Sylvia, Tang Wei and others, the musical drama film "The Gorgeous Office Worker" has already dropped to more than 2 million at the box office in just 3 days after its release, and its potential has been completely exhausted."

"The war history blockbuster "Cairo Declaration" starring Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, and Han Hao, only took in 4.67 million at the box office after three days of release. The theater schedule has dropped significantly."

…

Relevant news on the Internet is constantly updated, which dazzles many people in the industry.

But Chen Fei did not pay attention to these irrelevant press releases, because he was "trained" as soon as he returned to China.

"I won't force you to do anything or what you can't do, but next time before you do such a dangerous thing, can you consider my feelings?

I'm really worried about you. What if something happens to you? What should Grandpa Chen do? Do you want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person? "

As a director-level figure, Chen Fei has always trained others, but no one has ever trained him!

But today, facing Liu Yifei's extremely serious face, he had no reason or excuse to refute.

"I was wrong. I will definitely consider it seriously next time so as not to worry you..."

Chen Fei quickly gave in. If he continued to contradict him at this time, how stupid would he be?

Liu Yifei was very easy to coax, and her serious expression disappeared after a while. She came over and hugged Chen Fei's waist, and whispered to him.

"After I returned, I went to the company and participated in several casting activities for "Zhu Xian". I felt that the role of 'Lu Xueqi' was not suitable for me. It was not challenging and did not require high acting skills. It was just a very good movie. It’s just a movie adaptation of a popular IP novel, nothing new..."

Chen Fei gently stroked her hair and said softly: "Since you feel it is not suitable, then tell Zhong Lifang and let her choose someone else."

"I've already told her." Liu Yifei laughed: "We all think Tang Yan is very suitable. Her costume looks very good, so we let her take the role."

"Yeah, everything is fine."

Chen Fei didn't pay attention to these. When Liu Yifei wasn't paying attention, he "changed" a script from behind like magic: "Here, your gift."

"Yeah!" When she saw it was a script, Ms. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly reached out to take it.

"What's the subject?" As she asked, she opened the script and read it with interest.

Although the script was in English, she didn't seem to be struggling. After all, she grew up in the United States and is fluent in both Chinese and English.

Chen Fei moved closer to her, hugged her slender waist, and secretly smelled the fragrance in her hair.

"The script is about love. It is a story that takes place in Hollywood. It tells the story of jazz pianist Sebastian and aspiring actress Mia who met, got to know each other, and fell in love by chance in Los Angeles. They eventually separated because of pursuing their respective ideals. love story."

Ms. Liu was very attentive during working hours. She read every word carefully, trying to understand the story.

Half an hour has passed, an hour has passed, an hour and a half has passed...

Just when Chen Fei was leaning on the sofa in a daze and about to fall asleep, Liu Yifei's voice suddenly sounded in the empty living room: "A story about love and dreams?"

Chen Fei shook his head and tried to wake himself up: "Yes, dreams and love are the themes of the script. The two are integrated with each other and implemented throughout."

Liu Yifei pondered for a moment and looked over curiously: "This script is...can the background be changed to China?"

Chen Fei knew what she meant, so he smiled and said: "Of course, as long as you want."

"I play the heroine and you play the hero." As he said this, Liu Yifei came over, grabbed Chen Fei's tie on his chest, and bared his teeth viciously: "Don't refuse me! Otherwise I will bite you!"

Chen Fei looked at her dotingly: "As long as it is Princess Sissi's request, I will satisfy it."

"Hehe, kiss~"

This night, Chen Fei completely transformed into a knight, trying his best to satisfy the princess's requirements and wishes.

And Liu Yifei will also transform into a knight in certain stages, but her riding skills have never been very good, and she will fall off if she can't hold on for a while.

…

The next morning, Chen Fei got up early and put away the "La La Land" script that was on the coffee table in the living room.

Last night he promised Liu Yifei that he would complete the "Chinese" work of the script within the next month.

This is no small job and requires a lot of energy to complete.

His goal is not just to Chineseize the script and make the movie.

Either don't do it, or if you want to do it, you must adhere to "high-quality products"!

Therefore, the goal he set for himself was to "win an award".

This kind of love drama with literary and artistic themes is most suitable for the Venice International Film Festival, and maybe he can win a few awards for Miss Liu.

Of course, during this period, he still has two jobs to complete first, that is, the opening ceremony of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple" and the promotion of the movie "Operation Mekong".

Ning Hao called him specifically, hoping that he could go to the scene to support.

Because the opening ceremony of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple" was held in Huairou Film and Television City in the capital, Chen Fei did not refuse, anyway, it would be enough to take out one morning.

As for the promotion of "Operation Mekong", it still needs the cooperation of Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbin, Xie Miao, Liu Shishi and others to be officially implemented.

The first promotion roadshow activity, which has been preliminarily determined, will be officially launched in two days, by then, all the main creators of the crew will be gathered.

…

On the way to Huairou Film and Television City, several hot searches suddenly popped up on Weibo and suddenly attracted Chen Fei's attention.

"Bona Film Group released an announcement: The first 3D/4K/120-frame war drama "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", jointly produced by Bona, Sony, and Jiefu No. 8 Films and directed by Li An, was officially completed in Hollywood yesterday."

"It is reported that the film is scheduled to be released worldwide at the end of next year and will participate in the Oscar competition."

"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" tells the story of 19-year-old American technician Billy Lynn, who became a national hero for his heroic rescue of his comrades in the Iraq War, and then returned to China to participate in a halftime performance of a rugby game with his comrades..."

With the emergence of relevant press releases, "Bona", "Li An", "Oscar-winning film" and other entries quickly occupied the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

But at this time, Chen Fei, who was paying attention to the news, couldn't help but frowned.

Li An's award-winning film?

I didn't seem to hear any movement before, but I didn't expect Bona to quietly give such a big surprise to the domestic film and television industry!

However, this story doesn't seem to have any advantages in Hollywood, right?

It's not so easy to compete for Oscars with a movie of this theme. If you are not careful, you may be criticized by the academic school.

After all, the political correctness of the old Americans does not include the defeated party.

There are also 3D/4K/120 frame formats. There are not even more than ten cinemas in China that support playing this type of movie!

This also means that if this movie wants to make money from the box office, there is no hope in China.

"What is Yu Dong thinking? Is he crazy? He actually invested in this kind of movie? Is he trying to make a profit by competing for the Oscar?"

Chen Fei muttered in a low voice, which was really a bit confusing.

...

Driving all the way to the outside of Huairou Film and Television City, after greeting the guard, Chen Fei easily entered the film and television city and went straight to the crew of "Ghost Blowing Light: Kunlun Temple".

There are quite a few media gathered at Huairou Film and Television City today, and everyone is here to catch the first-hand news.

It is no exaggeration to say that the most successful commercial series of films currently made in China is the "Ghost Blowing Light" series.

After the release of the first "Jingjue Ghost City", the domestic box office directly won 1.54 billion yuan, and it also successfully won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!

After the release of the second "Yunnan Worm Valley", the domestic box office even rushed to 2.669 billion, becoming the current No. 2 movie in the domestic box office ranking.

In addition to the good box office results, the film's reputation is also very high, and both films are not less than 8.5 points.

On this basis, the third film in the "Ghost Blowing Light" series, "Kunlun Temple", has undoubtedly become the focus of many peers and media in the industry.

Almost most people believe that after the third film is shot, it is very likely to rush to 3 billion box office.

And for a film with unlimited potential, the media's attention will naturally be very high!

In order to avoid being surrounded by the fanatical reporters, Chen Fei quietly came to the back door of the studio, and then quietly avoided the paparazzi through the "insider" he had planted in the crew.

"Brother? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? What's wrong with you going through the front door? Will you be eaten by the reporters?"

As the deputy director, Han Jianu simply couldn't understand why Chen Fei had to make it so complicated. What would happen if he boldly came in through the front door?

"Do you think I am you? Of course you are not afraid of being blocked by reporters, because you are not famous, but I am! I didn't even bring a bodyguard today. What if someone stepped on me?"

Han Jianu: "..."

The sentence "You are not famous" immediately broke the girl's heart. She was speechless for a long time, and her eyes were full of resentment.

Watching Chen Fei striding forward, she couldn't help but snort: "Hmph, when I finish writing that script, I will definitely let you know what 'popularity' means! I, Han Jianu, will definitely be famous all over the world!"

...

"Hey? Director Chen? Have you returned to China? Why is there no news online?"

"I really admire you, you are so good at riding a motorcycle!"

"Director Ning and the others are arranging the process of the launch conference, just in front..."

Accompanied by the voices of greetings, Chen Fei walked forward and soon met Ning Hao, Liu Ye, Shu Chang, Chen Minghao and others.

What surprised him was that Xing Aina was also on the set, and it seemed that she had become a member of the set, busy helping Ning Hao coordinate.

"Sister Na, aren't you taking care of the children today? Why are you here?"

When they saw the real "boss" on the set, everyone who was busy looked over and smiled at the same time.

Xing Aina explained with a smile: "The child is taken care of by a nanny. The movie started today. I was worried that Ning Hao would be too busy, so I thought of coming to help."

"Oh, so that's it." Chen Fei responded, and turned his head to look at Ning Hao: "I really envy Director Ning, who actually married a virtuous wife like Sister Na."

Ning Hao smiled a little embarrassedly, but did not refute.

Although Xing Aina usually controls him very strictly, it is undeniable that she is indeed a good wife and mother. After getting married, she has been supporting him all the way and has never complained.

With such a wife, what else can a husband ask for!

"Huh? Where's Xixi? Didn't she come with you?" Shu Chang ran over at this time, looking curiously behind Chen Fei, trying to find the familiar figure.

"She?" Chen Fei laughed: "Don't you see what time it is now? Is it time for her to get up?"

Shu Chang laughed out loud, she knew her best friend's daily routine very well.

Moreover, when the two were not working, their daily routines were actually not much different. The only difference was that Liu Yifei had a bad temper when she got up, but Shu Chang didn't.

...

More than 20 minutes later, the clock hands came to ten o'clock in the morning.

With Ning Hao's order, reporters outside the studio swarmed in and prepared to interview.

However, when a group of people saw Chen Fei, they were stunned!

"Good guy? When did this guy come back? Why is there no news?"

"I don't know! Wasn't he abroad two days ago?"

"Don't guess, he has a private jet. If he didn't want us to know, wouldn't it be easy to hide?"

In addition to being shocked, a group of reporters were more excited.

Originally thought that today we could only interview the main members of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple", but unexpectedly Chen Fei also came to the launch conference, which was also a pleasant surprise.

"I announce that the third part of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, "Kunlun Temple", has officially started!"

The "crackling" sound of firecrackers resounded in the studio, which was a good start.

Chen Fei was already familiar with answering reporters' interviews, so when it was his turn to be interviewed, he said, "Today I will only answer questions related to "Ghost Blows Out the Light". As for the others, please don't ask, we will have another chance in the future..."

This sentence confused the reporters and made many reporters look resentful, after all, they had prepared a lot of off-topic questions.

Seeing Chen Fei's tough attitude, everyone did not dare to deliberately oppose him, so they had to talk about the topic of "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

However, it would have been better if they didn't talk about it. After talking about it, the reporters on the scene were shocked to find that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was not simple!

On the stage, Chen Fei talked freely:

"According to our plan, the entire series of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can actually be expanded into a type similar to the Hollywood movie "Indiana Jones".

After the end of "Kunlun Palace", the main trilogy of the Ghost Blows Out the Light series will officially come to an end, and the next sequel plan will be launched, mainly "Nanhai Guixu" and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain".

The sequel will be more international. If nothing unexpected happens, Hollywood stars should be invited to join. Even tomb raiding and exploration will not be limited to China.

There are also "Angry Eyes of Xiangxi" and "Yellow Skin Tomb", which will be carried out in the styles of tomb raiding in the Republic of China and youth exploration respectively, striving to develop the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" IP universe to the limit..."

In Chen Fei's view, this kind of adventure-themed movie will never be outdated at any time.

Therefore, he is quite confident in the development of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" IP.

At this moment, not only the media reporters listened with shining eyes, but even the actors in the crew couldn't help but widen their eyes.

You know, even for these "insiders", it was the first time they knew that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" actually had such a grand IP expansion plan!

…

That afternoon, as expected, the entire film and television industry was flooded with news about the premiere of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace"!

"This morning, the adventure film "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace" produced by Feiyue Film and Television officially held a launch conference at the Huairou Film and Television Base."

"Director Chen Fei has now returned to China and made a surprise appearance at the launch ceremony of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace."

"According to Director Ning Hao, "Kunlun Palace" will be the last "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series film he is responsible for directing, and it is also the last of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" trilogy."

"Director Chen Fei said in an interview with reporters: In addition to the main trilogy, the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series will also have a sequel trilogy, as well as "Angry Eyes in Xiangxi" and "Yellow Skin Tomb" and other branches."

“Ghost Blows Out the Light” will compete with Hollywood movies such as The Mummy, Indiana Jones, and Tomb Raider, becoming the first IP movie blockbuster in China to usher in a super-large development!”

“According to Director Chen Fei, the Ghost Blows Out the Light universe plan has been fully planned so far and will be launched in the next few years. Please look forward to it!”

As related news continues to flood the screen, “Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple” can be said to be popular before it is filmed, and the domestic film and television industry is completely blown up!

Especially a series of “network media” film producers headed by Alibaba, LeTV, Sohu, Baidu, and Tencent, they are even more envious!

“Fuck! So this is how real novel IP development is done!”
