Chapter 855: Eat, Sleep, Scold the Audience, Scold the Movie, Scold the Director, Scold the Producer, Scold the Government

Chapter 855 Eating, sleeping, scolding the audience, scolding the movie, scolding the director, scolding the producer, scolding the official...

On the morning of a new day, Chen Fei had a rare sleep.

After getting up, he did not rush to the company, but helped Liu Yifei start packing her luggage for returning to China.

As of yesterday evening, with his assistance, "Ready Player One" had completed 2/5 of the post-production work.

As for the remaining 3/5, it has to be left to other people in the post-production department.

Today is December 27th, and there are only less than 5 days left before the arrival of 2016.

Over in China, the training camp for the main creative members of the "Operation Red Sea" crew has come to an end, and it's time to start shooting, and naturally he, the director, cannot be absent.

Therefore, after he took care of all the work at hand in Hollywood, he booked a flight ticket for tonight and prepared to return to China with Liu Yifei.

"You don't need to bring so many things, right?"

Watching Liu Yifei stuffing one souvenir after another into the box, Chen Fei couldn't help but be a little confused.

What is this girl doing? Are you here to do some shopping?

But the next second, Liu Yifei said something to him without raising her head: "What do you know? There are health care products here for your grandfather, as well as gifts from my mother, Shu Chang, Han Jianu, Zhao Liying and others. Of course There will be more.

I can’t go abroad without bringing anything with me, right? Why don't you go back empty-handed and be laughed at by others? "

"Well……"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Then do I need to buy anything?"

"You?" Liu Yifei raised her eyes and glanced at him, and quickly gave a reply: "You might as well forget it, the company's performance is quite good this year, and you can give more bonuses to your subordinates after you return.

Then, just invite your favorite South Korean female singers, actresses, girl groups, etc., and invite everyone to watch a performance. "

Chen Fei keenly discovered the "sending proposition" inside.

"Let's talk about it first! I don't like those girl groups. They were voted by the employees of the company. Moreover, after the company has been established for so many years, I only attended one annual meeting. The rest of the time I spent with you. spent together."

This answer was obviously approved by Liu Yifei, because a smile appeared on her fair and pretty face.

However, before she could continue speaking, a pleasant phone ring suddenly rang.

Chen Fei took out his mobile phone from his pocket as if he was granted amnesty.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he first said the name "Wang Changtian" to Liu Yifei, and then immediately left the bedroom and went straight to the study.

"Huh, if you're smart, I'll let you go this time."

Liu Yifei snorted and continued to pack the things she wanted to bring back to China.

At the same time, Chen Fei, who came to the study room, pressed the connect button on the screen of his mobile phone.

"Director Wang, what's the matter..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Changtian's angry complaints came from the other side: "It's too much to bully others, it's simply too much to bully others!"

Fei Chen was surprised.

What is going on? To actually make Wang Changtian, who has always been mature and steady, so angry?

"Director Wang, don't be impatient. Speak slowly. Do you need my help with anything?"

"The situation is like this..."

Along with Wang Changtian's narration, Chen Fei gradually understood the whole story.

The reason is mainly due to the box office competition between "Bad Angel" and "Lao Pao Er".

You know, both movies were released on the 24th, so a natural competitive relationship was formed.

But now three days have passed, and the competition has become increasingly fierce!

Thanks to the theme of the movie, the box office of "Bad Angel" has remained above 100 million yuan in the first three days, and now the total box office has reached 420 million yuan.

On the other hand, "Old Paoer", even though most of the entertainment industry cheered for it, plus the blessings of Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng, the box office has not increased.

Three days have passed, and "Old Paoer" has only won 223 million at the box office. This result is obviously inconsistent with its early publicity investment.

Perhaps because of the stimulation, Feng Xiaogang immediately lost his temper and began to write a short composition on Weibo.

"I really can't understand why the domestic film market has fallen to this point? No one pays attention to truly good films, but trashy films like "Bad Angel" without any connotation can attract a large number of viewers!

Is it true that rubbish audiences create rubbish movies and rubbish directors? Is this why truly high-quality movies are in decline?

Here, I call on everyone to boycott cheesy comedy movies without any connotation such as "Bad Angel", to support real high-quality movies, and let the world see that we in China also have good movies, and not all of them are like "Bad Boys" A bad movie like "Angel"..."

As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet!

Before this, everyone knew that Feng Xiaogang had no control over his mouth. In addition to eating and sleeping, he often scolded the audience, colleagues, and officials.

But everyone never expected that this guy not only scolded the audience who supported "Bad Angel" today, he even scolded the movie itself, including the director, producer, etc.!

Not only that, he actually called on the entire audience to boycott "Villain Angel". This is too overbearing and disgusting!

As soon as his cool move came out, it immediately triggered a chain reaction on the Internet.

Those fans who supported "Lao Pao Er", Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng seemed to have heard the clarion call for charge. They rushed in and started to complain about "Villain Angel" from various angles:

"Just like what Director Feng Xiaogang said, Deng Chao is not suitable to be a director. Look at that movie "The Breakup Master", it was absolutely nonsense, and this "Bad Angel" is the same, it is vulgar and has no bottom line. , can’t bear to look at it!”

"First I went to see my Fanfan's performance. It was a natural performance and showed the true acting skills of an actor. Then I went to see Deng Chao. His performance was a complete mess."

"Although my Fengfeng didn't have many scenes, he still surpassed all the actors in "Bad Angels". Who dares to deny this?"

"By the way, the General Administration should really check to see if "Bad Angel" secretly boosted the box office? Otherwise, how could it have achieved such results?"

"The Sixth Master played by Feng Xiaogang is completely in line with that era. He is so awesome. He is worthy of being the Golden Horse Best Actor. I was so shocked. I turned around and looked at Li Yifeng and Wu Yifan. This is the performance of the real new generation of actors, and it can even be listed in the list. It has become a textbook, but what about Deng Chao? His acting skills have become worse and worse in recent years, and he has regressed too much."

"Hahaha, Deng Chao actually wants to compete with Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hu? Is he a piece of shit?"

"..."

While Chen Fei was on the phone with Wang Changtian, he turned on the computer in the study, logged on to Weibo, and started eating.

"Lao Pao'er" is coming fiercely, but "Villain Angel" is not easy to mess with. Fans of the latter are also angrily criticizing the former:

"You 'Shu Bao', if you don't stay close to Shu Qi, what will you do if you come out and bark like a dog?"

"Which movie does labor and management like to watch? This is the right and freedom of labor and management. It is not your turn to dictate what kind of movie you want to watch? You are scolding your parents for providing food and clothing. What is the difference between this and unworthy descendants?"

"If you lose at the box office, you lose. What's there to argue with? You're the only one who's still a 'senior', bah! I'll drown you in the spit of labor and management."

"To be honest, after so many years, this is the first time I've seen someone scolding a cook after eating. If we hadn't contributed to your box office, what would you do?"

"Ha, you still call "Bad Angels" a bad movie? I think you are like that, haven't you done enough to make bad money? Are you embarrassed to criticize others? You are so shameless!"

"..."

Fans from both sides came and went, it was a lively scene, and it really opened Chen Fei's eyes!

At this time, Wang Changtian's voice rang on the phone again: "Brother, I called today just to ask you for one thing. You must help me!"

"Well, tell me."

Lao Wang has already mentioned this, so Chen Fei is naturally embarrassed to refuse him, but it depends on what he asks for. If it violates the "rules" too much, then he still has to restrain himself a little.

The next second, I heard Wang Changtian continue to say: "That bullshit Feng Xiaogang and Huayi are riding on my head. If I don't fight back, how will the outside world see me? How will the Rays' shareholders and employees see me?

Of course, I won’t make things difficult for you. I just want to borrow your company’s public relations and marketing resources to cooperate with my follow-up actions. It’s that simple. "

"That's it?" Chen Fei immediately smiled: "Okay, no problem, I will call Su Guohai later and ask him to fully cooperate with you."

"Thank you!" Wang Changtian thanked him sincerely, and at the same time patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will never involve Feiyue Film and Television. Brother, I have been running a media company for so many years, and this is still the case. It’s guaranteed.”

"Well, how about this first? I'll call Su Guohai to inform him..."

"good."

After cutting off the call, Wang Changtian put down his cell phone, looked at Deng Chao, Sun Li and other high-profile executives sitting in the conference room in front of him, and immediately banged the table.

"When we go to ride horses, people are going to attack us. If we give in this time, how can we still hang out in this circle in the future? Just do it and be done with it!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of old guys who had followed Wang Changtian all over the world immediately cheered:

"That's right! Let's do it! Whoever thinks he's a coward and rides on a horse is his grandson!"

"It's a trick, right? They're still young."

"The worst case scenario is that the fish will die and the net will be destroyed. Everyone will finish playing and see who suffers heavy losses."

Accompanied by the applause of everyone, Wang Changtian turned his attention to Deng Chao and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of this matter?"

In the conference room at this time, Deng Chao no longer had that "funny" and "showing off" attitude and temperament.

His face was livid, and he was obviously suppressing his anger.

He admitted that his directorial skills are indeed not as good as Feng Xiaogang's, but now he is being pointed at and scolded by others. If he continues to remain silent, wouldn't he be sorry for the fans who support him?

Although he was once a member of the Huayi faction, the contract has been terminated for many years, and there has long been no affection between the two parties.

Now, it has evolved into a relationship between competitors!

"Then do it! Director Wang! Tell me, how do you need my cooperation?"

Hearing this, Wang Changtian suddenly showed a smile on his face.

…

The night was getting darker, but the lights in the conference room never went out, and Wang Changtian began to deploy the next plans and arrangements.

He doesn't believe this evil anymore!

Isn't it just Huayi and Feng Xiaogang? Even if we lose this time, we have to tear a piece of meat off them!

At this time, Chen Fei, who was in Los Angeles, thought about it after talking to Su Guohai on the phone, and called Natasha again.

It's not easy to come across such an opportunity to trip someone up, so why not make good use of it?

No matter who hits Huayi, he has to go up and help the scene, and make a wave first!

…

In Los Angeles, the time quickly came to 11 o'clock in the morning.

After packing up her luggage, Liu Yifei took Chen Fei out the door, ready to enjoy her last meal in Hollywood.

At the same time, at Annapurna Pictures, Megan Ely looked at the description of her in the latest issue of "People" magazine, and felt a surge of blood boiling.

"As the princess of Oracle and a new Hollywood star, Megan Ely showed her ambition and passion as soon as she entered the scene, trying to shine and create brilliance in the film industry.

However, as soon as she made her move, she encountered a project like "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" that suffered huge losses. This seemed to prove that she was not suitable for the film industry and did not have enough wisdom and talent as the outside world said..."

"Fuck!"

The magazine in her hand was thrown directly into the trash can by Megan Ely. She was panting angrily, and her chest, which was not big at all, kept rising and falling, and was about to explode.

Now that the first three days of the weekend have passed, the North American box office of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" is only 13.093 million.

Compared with the production cost of 300 million, the box office results in front of her are completely a tragedy that cannot be more tragic!

And the most terrible thing is that the reputation of the movie has completely collapsed, and it can't be saved even if you spend money.

You know, this is an original non-sequel movie, which means it has no fan base in the overseas market.

And now the box office and reputation in North America are so bad, if nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely affect the overseas market.

This is undoubtedly a major blow to "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword"!

The assistant is constantly reporting to her the news from the outside world, but Megan Ely just leans on the chair blankly, emptying her mind, trying to put all the troubles behind her.

She was full of confidence when she first entered Hollywood, thinking that it was not difficult to invest in a successful movie, and it was even easier to make a movie alone.

Even after the premiere of "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword", she still maintained this strong confidence.

However, reality gave her a heavy blow!

The bleak box office in North America made Megan Ely unbelievable, and she even wondered if she had hallucinations.

This is her first movie that she truly invested in independently, but it suffered such a disastrous defeat. You can imagine how big a blow it was to her.

The frustration in her heart came in waves, making it difficult for her to accept the reality.

"Ding-ling-ling!!!"

The sudden ring of the phone interrupted the assistant's report.

Megan Eri came back to her senses, glanced at the caller ID, and waved her hand to let the assistant go out first.

Then, she pressed the connect button.

The next second, the concerned voice of Larry Eri, president of Oracle and also her father, came from the receiver: "Megan, such a small failure will not defeat you, right?"

Hearing her father's words, Megan Eri felt a warm current in her heart. She took a deep breath and tried to stay strong: "No, I can bear it."

"Haha, good, this is the descendant of my Eri family. Failure is impossible. At worst, I can start over, but I must never give up. Just like when I founded Oracle Group, although there were many difficulties, I still insisted on going down?"

The words of her father on the phone reminded Megan Eri of her belief and persistence when she started her business!

Failure is not terrible. What is important is how to learn from failure and then stand up again!

"The post-production method I came up with before is absolutely fine. The key is that those producers and the film viewing group have too many ideas, which led to the failure of the film.

But it is not a big problem. I haven't failed yet. I still have a "Ben-Hur", which has won an Oscar. After the successful remake, it will definitely gain a lot of support and praise..."

Megan Ely muttered to herself, and her confidence gradually returned.

After ending the call with her father, she stood up again, with a firm light in her eyes.

Just like her father said, as long as you don't give up, you will succeed one day.

She firmly believes that this failure is just a small stumbling block on her life path, and she will bravely cross it and move on!

Then, she picked up the phone again and called Lauder, the producer of "Ben-Hur".

"How is the post-production progress of Ben-Hur?"

"Boss, 3/5 of it has been completed."

"Good!" Megan Ely nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Where is Depp? Is he cooperating with the post-production work throughout the whole process?"

When this question came out, Lauder was stunned and couldn't answer it for a long time.

On the other end of the phone, Megan Ely's face sank, and she was immediately angry!

Her question was in vain, after all, Depp was very uncooperative during the filming of the movie, and how could he cooperate in the post-production stage?

"Please tell him for me that if he continues to be so presumptuous and does not cooperate with the post-production, then he will not get the other 1/3 of the salary."

For an addict, as long as he can control the money bag he uses to buy flour, Megan Ery believes that he can force him to submit.

"Okay."

Laud responded and began to think about how to "euphemistically" convey Megan Ery's words to Depp.

At the same time, after hanging up the phone, Megan Ery called Depp's current wife Amber Heard.

"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" has failed, and she will never allow "Ben Hur" to fail!

Therefore, she now needs more handles to threaten Depp, and must make the addict listen to her and cooperate with post-production and pre-release publicity.
