Chapter 843: Grit Your Teeth and Practice Dancing? ? ? The 3 Billion Box Office Director Club Has a New Member!

October 12, morning.

While many people on the Internet were paying attention to the news that Jiaxing had launched its first round of financing, an announcement from Alibaba Pictures immediately attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

"After a month of online voting, offline auditions, book fan voting, etc., exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures and adapted from a popular IP, the ancient costume, mythology, and love masterpiece "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has completed all casting work.

The specific creative lineup is as follows:

The female lead in the drama version is Yang Mi, the male lead is Liu Kaiwei, and actors Huang Mengying, Zhang Binbin, Zhang Zhiyao, Zhu Xudan also participate in the starring roles...

The film version features the female lead Jing Tian and the male lead Yang Yang. Also starring are actors Luo Jin, Yan Yikuan, Li Chun, Gu Xuan, Peng Zisu...

After careful consideration, we will be the first to start filming the drama version. The specific start time is the 20th of this month. All shooting locations are built indoors by the Hollywood location team, and all special effects shots of the film are also responsible for the Hollywood special effects company. It will definitely not Disappoint fans. "

As soon as this announcement was exposed, it immediately became a hot search topic and became the target of discussion by many people.

Looking around, there are countless envious people!

From the beginning of the "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" project, everyone knew that this was a top-notch cake that was very rare in the industry.

After all, Alibaba’s investment in this project is too huge!

It is no exaggeration to say that with the same production budget, this is enough for other small production companies to produce several TV series and low-cost movies.

But looking at Ali, all of it was used to invest in a movie and TV series. This amount of money is worthy of Ali's title of "extremely rich", and his main focus is an "inhumane"!

Therefore, in the eyes of many people in the industry, these two projects are destined to succeed and there will be absolutely no problems.

And being able to serve as the leading female leads in the drama version and the movie version respectively means that Yang Mi and Jing Tian will definitely take this opportunity to become popular again!

"The female lead in the film version was actually taken down by Jing Tian? Her resources are really good!"

On Jiaxing's side, apart from being happy, Yang Mi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Facing real "connected households", I, a person who believes in "God's way and hard work", are simply ridiculous.

It's so unfair that she has to work 10 times or even a hundred times more than ordinary people for a role that others can get with just a wave of her hand!

After hearing this, Zeng Jia did not take Yang Mi's words seriously and said casually: "Her movie version is destined to be released a few months later than the drama version. By then, you have already got the popularity bonus, so why don't you care about her?" what?"

"That's true."

Yang Mi muttered something in a low voice and quickly adjusted her mentality.

"It starts filming on the 20th of this month, right? There's still a week left, so I'll go and participate in the promotional activities of "I Am a Witness" first."

Zeng Jia nodded and added: "I have also arranged a few business activities for you, remember to make time to go there."

"Okay! It's 310 million. It does take a lot of hard work. We must win this bet!"

"Yes, if we work together to welcome the listing, we will definitely win!"

…

Chen Fei did not pay special attention to the relevant reports of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" because he never paid attention to the production strategy promoted by Ali from beginning to end.

With so much free time, why not do something else?

For example, the thing he is busy with now is very important to him!

"Your body is so hard! Can you be softer? Softer? Haven't you ever taken a bodybuilding class? Is this dance move so difficult to learn?"

Throughout the morning, Chen Fei didn't know how many complaints he had received from Liu Yifei.

For the filming of the song and dance movie "La La Land", as the male protagonist, he had to learn to dance, and there was no way to use a stand-in.

And this also caused him to suffer a lot!

Looking at his red toes, Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh: "This dance is really difficult to learn!"

"Is it difficult? Why don't I think so?"

Liu Yifei did a 360-degree spin with ease, and then complained in a mocking tone: "It must be that you didn't work hard in the fitness class, so your body is so stiff now."

"Auntie, you don't know what I was like when I was in college? When did I take a physical education class?"

Chen Fei still clearly remembers that during his four-year college career, he never stayed in school for more than three months.

Under such circumstances, how could he have time to learn any form?

Liu Yifei crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him calmly: "So, if a young man doesn't work hard, he will be miserable. Anyway, now you have to learn whether you want to learn or not.

If you can't learn it in one month, we'll do it in two months. If you can't, we'll do it in three months or four months. When you learn it, we'll start shooting again. "

"But I have to go to Hollywood in a while. After I finish my work, I may have to film "Operation Red Sea" first. There is no chance at all..."

"I don't want to hear these excuses!" Liu Yifei interrupted him directly and said seriously: "If you don't have time during the day, practice at night. You can take time to practice during filming. Where there is a will, there is a way. I don't believe you can't practice!"

"But I can't practice everywhere, right? The main reason is that I don't have a teacher."

"Don't worry, from now on, I will follow you wherever you go, and I will teach you myself until I am satisfied!"

"Oh my god!"

Chen Fei's face was full of tears, and he almost couldn't hold it back!

When he thought that he might have to learn dance for several months, he suddenly felt like he was going to collapse!

"Ding-ling-ling..."

At this moment, the sudden ring of the phone interrupted his thoughts.

He grabbed the phone and took a look, then pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Mr. Ren? What's up?"

Ren Zhonglun's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Fei? Do you remember what I told you at Huang Xiaoming's wedding? What do you think about it?"

"Uh, I remember... it's me..."

Just when Chen Fei was thinking about how to refuse Ren Zhonglun's invitation to invest, he heard the other party impatiently continue to say: "After the successful listing this time, I plan to continue to go to the General Administration to ask for the right to import foreign films. I must not let China Film dominate alone!

The old guy Han Sanping has retreated. La Peikang is far inferior to 'Zuoshan Diao' in terms of means and ability. I don't believe that it won't work this time..."

Chen Fei was still quite interested in this topic.

When there are other competitors in the industry, the monopoly of China Film will be over, and everyone will naturally have more choices.

From the perspective of the boss of the production company, Chen Fei still supports Ren Zhonglun.

He immediately echoed: "Then I wish General Ren a successful start, haha."

"Let's not talk about other things first. I called you this time because of your investment. I tell you that you have to seize this good opportunity. Otherwise, you will miss it.

Let me tell you that Chen Long, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and others have already got the boat tickets and are waiting to get on board to share the money.

With our relationship, I will definitely not forget you. You have made so much money with Shanghai Film for so many years, and I must repay you, otherwise it will be ungrateful..."

Listening to Ren Zhonglun's words, Chen Fei was helpless.

After listening to the other party silently, he finally chose to shake his head: "Mr. Ren, I know what you mean, and I also know that you are doing this for my own good.

But let's forget about the "boarding" matter. I won't get involved. You can do it yourself."

This reply was really beyond Ren Zhonglun's expectations, and he was confused!

After a long pause, Ren Zhonglun belatedly asked back: "Why... why?"

Chen Fei only used one sentence to completely dispel the idea of ​​inviting him: "Because in addition to Feiyue Film and Television, I am also a major shareholder of Walton Pictures, the largest independent production company in Hollywood, which means that I personally cannot get involved in state-owned enterprises.

Of course, if you are short of money, I can let Longxiang Capital enter. There is no shortage of money there. As long as you can meet the investment conditions, I can get as much as you want."

"..."

The call ended quickly, and Ren Zhonglun hung up the phone with full disappointment.

Money is not something that Shangying lacks, what he lacks is influence and stable resources, and all of this happens to be what Chen Fei can bring him after he joins the company.

But if Chen Fei himself does not get involved, then there is no point in looking for Longxiang Capital.

After all, there is a difference between individuals and investment banks.

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, Ren Zhonglun had to flip through the phone book again and look for the next target.

At this time, Chen Fei, who had just put down his phone, was caught by Liu Yifei.

"Come on, come on, continue practicing dancing, you have been resting for a long time."

"I will rest for a while, just ten minutes, is that okay?"

"No!" Miss Liu put her hands on her waist and glared at him angrily: "If you don't practice, don't get on my bed tonight, and I won't cooperate with you with those weird moves."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately dared not to be lazy anymore.

It is related to the happiness of his lower body, so he can't be careless!

It's just practicing dancing for a few months, and he can get through it with gritted teeth.

Let's do it!

At the same time, while he was "working hard" to learn dance with Liu Yifei, Ren Zhonglun on the other side had found a new goal.

"Mr. Ye, you should know how Shanghai Film's performance is. As long as Wanda joins, they can definitely eat and drink with us..."

If it was in the past, after hearing Ren Zhonglun's invitation, Ye Ning would be overjoyed to tell the boss of the upper level this good news.

But now is different from the past. Now he has long lost the mentality of "sacrificing himself for Wanda".

Some time ago, he went to the boss and proposed the idea of ​​​​wanting some shares, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt panic in his heart.

After more than ten years of hard work, he originally thought that he was at the management and veteran level, but now he is just a worker, at best, his status is just higher than those ordinary workers.

"Mr. Ren, I have something else to do. I will convey what you just said to Mr. Wang verbatim, and ask him to consider it carefully. How about that?"

"Oh! All right, you go ahead."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Zhonglun scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The reason why he approached Wanda was because he heard that Wanda had been "buying up" crazily abroad during this period, from movie studios to theaters, and then to film and television production companies, and could be said to be accepting everyone who came.

These are exactly the resources that Shanghai Film Group lacks, so as long as it can cooperate with Wanda, it is definitely not a dream to rise to prominence!

However, Ye Ning's perfunctory attitude made him a little confused.

"Does Wanda look down on us Shanghai Film Group? It's strange, it shouldn't be like this?"

...

Three days passed in a hurry. While practicing dancing, Chen Fei did not forget to follow the "Ant-Man" crew to run several promotional activities.

This movie will be released in mainland theaters on the 16th.

As for Hollywood, it has been released for a full month, and the North American box office has even reached the $200 million range, which is considered to have initially met Marvel's expectations.

As for the global box office, it is currently $480 million, and it has earned more than $100 million on the premise of recovering costs.

And the peripheral aspects are making a lot of money!

Next, the global total revenue can only be calculated after the domestic release.

According to Kevin Feige's prediction, the box office revenue of this movie should not be less than $250 million, and this money can just be used to invest in the next movie in the Marvel series.

Under this snowball-like development model, Marvel is now in its heyday!

In China, Chen Fei has also gained a lot.

On the morning of the 15th, several media reports were freshly released, which once again attracted the attention of many people in the circle.

"Co-produced by Feiyue Film and Television, China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, Guangguang, Golden Shield and other companies, Chen Fei is the director and starring actor, Zhang Hanyu, Li Bingbing, Chen Baoguo, Xie Miao, Liu Shishi and others participated in the film.

The main theme of the crime, action and drug-trafficking commercial film "Operation Mekong" was released yesterday for 15 days, and the total box office was reported to be 3.006 billion yuan!"

"After the domestic science fiction film "The Martian", two years later, the mainland film and television industry has once again ushered in a masterpiece with a box office of over 3 billion! Congratulations to "Operation Mekong" Operation Mekong!"

"Warm congratulations to Director Chen Fei for joining the 3 billion box office club!"

"Operation Mekong, the light of domestic films! The best of the main theme films..."

"Unfortunately, the daily new box office of Operation Mekong has fallen below the 100 million mark yesterday, closing at only 86.49 million."

"The Film Bureau issued a notice that Operation Mekong has successfully obtained the key extension qualification, and the release time originally scheduled for October 29 will be extended to November 29."

...

The entire film industry has been completely blown up!

After the release of "Naruto Rescue" and the box office of 3.269 billion, everyone knows that it is not far from the time when domestic films officially enter the 3 billion box office.

After all, there are no less than 5 movies with a box office of 2 billion+ now. In this case, it is not impossible to hit 3 billion.

And now, the appearance of Operation Mekong has confirmed this.

Half a month, 3.006 billion box office, and successfully obtained the 30-day key extension qualification...

At this time, everyone has begun to speculate how much box office this movie will eventually get.

Breaking the record is certain, but how far it can go is still unknown.

Many netizens even shouted the slogan of rushing to 4 billion box office, and received a lot of responses and support.

However, Chen Fei himself does not have too much expectations.

Because after the 15th, everyone's choices have gradually become more and more, and many Hollywood imported films and relatively high-quality domestic films will be released one after another.

Under such circumstances, the scheduling and new box office of "Operation Mekong" will inevitably decrease.

To be honest, Chen Fei is now very satisfied.

Being able to achieve a box office of 3 billion yuan in China is happier than making a Hollywood blockbuster abroad!

After all, it is better to pretend to be stupid in front of your own family.

More and more actors, stars, and artists posted congratulations on Weibo, and his mood was getting better and better. Even the "painful process" of practicing dance seemed to disappear at this moment.

However, unlike his excitement, Enlightenment Pictures was almost like a bereaved family!

A movie that received a box office of 3 billion yuan was not shown in the cinemas under Enlightenment Pictures...

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't calculate how much money he lost this National Day.

"Mr. Jiang, do we have any other options now?"

Listening to the questions from his subordinates, Jiang Zhiqiang's mouth twitched, and he stood up from his seat with a slightly hoarse voice and growled:

"I will continue to report to the General Administration. The market share of "Operation Mekong" can now be regarded as a monopoly. The General Administration must give us an explanation..."

After the voice fell, he left the meeting room with a cane, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

...

The next day, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Ant-Man" officially landed in the mainland theaters.

At the same time, Huayi issued several announcements to officially announce their new project.

"The film "I Am Not Madame Bovary", jointly produced by Huayi and Dongyang Mira, directed by Feng Xiaogang and produced by Liu Zhenyun, has officially completed all casting work yesterday."

"The movie "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" will star Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, Dong Chengpeng, Zhang Jiayi, Yu Hewei and others. It tells the story of a rural woman who was deceived and verbally insulted by her ex-husband. In order to seek justice, she began a ten-year journey The story of a woman who filed lawsuits and petitions, encountered many obstacles, and finally felt relieved due to the accidental death of her ex-husband.”

"The specific start time of the film will be after the movie "Old Paoer" is released, so stay tuned..."

At the same time, in addition to Huayi, Feiyue Film and Television also issued several announcements at the same time, and began to compete with the former and became a hot search topic.

"The main theme script "The Founding of the Army" written by Chen Fei has been confirmed to be directed by director Han Sanping, and the casting process will be officially launched in a week."

"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television, adapted from the novel of the same name, and starring Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan, the costume fantasy film "Zhu Xian" has officially started shooting at the Huairou Film and Television Base today!"

"The Legend of Chu Qiao, an inspiring legendary costume drama exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and adapted from the novel "11 Secret Agents", officially completed all casting work yesterday.

The cast list is as follows: Zhao Liying, Ren Jialun, Dou Xiao, Li Qin, Jin Shijie, Wang Yanlin, Niu Junfeng..."

"It is reported that Ren Jialun, the male lead in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", is a newly debuted post-85s actor. After Huang Jingyu, Feiyue Film and Television has once again boldly cast a new actor as the protagonist. We are very much looking forward to his wonderful performance."
