Chapter 864 Can You Still Ride on My Head Forever? Hey, Huang Xiaoming Is the Dividing Line!

The next day, when Chen Fei was leading the crew's logistics staff to get familiar with the local filming scenes in Morocco, several hot searches popped up in the mainland.

"It is reported that among the five movies released during New Year's Day, with the exception of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the other four movies all failed and were removed from theaters."

""Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been in theaters for 10 days, with a total box office revenue of 824 million yuan, which is very close to 1 billion yuan."

"Produced by DreamWorks Pictures, the Hollywood imported animated film "Kung Fu Panda 4" has been officially announced to be released during the Spring Festival."

"Exclusively produced by Huayi and directed by Guan Fu, the drama and action movie "Old Paoer" starring Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Hanyu, Xu Qing, Li Yifeng, Wu Yifan and others has been in theaters for half a month, with a total box office revenue of 730 million.

At present, the film's daily new box office has dropped to 3.15 million, and its potential is about to be exhausted, and it is far away from its "1 billion" box office goal. "

"Due to the impact of the gambling agreement, Galloping Horse has officially entered bankruptcy and liquidation, and the 635 million yuan may be difficult to make up."

Along with several hot searches, there were also crazy discussions and discussions from the film and television industry.

By this time, those small production companies had no confidence in the Spring Festival schedule.

There was "Mermaid" before, and "Journey to the West: Monkey King vs. Bone Demon" later, and now there is another Hollywood imported animated sequel movie "Kung Fu Panda 4"!

No need to guess, the film schedule for the Spring Festival will be completely divided among these three movies.

As for other films, perhaps taking this opportunity to withdraw them quickly will have a chance of survival. Otherwise, other than being surrounded and suppressed, there will be no other possibility.

…

At this time, the filming scene of the drama version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at the news on the Internet about the failure of the Pony Galloping bet, resulting in being surrounded and suppressed by all parties, and bankruptcy and liquidation, and felt a sense of worry.

"Jiajia, so if our bet with Shangshi Pictures fails, will the consequences be the same as Galloping Pony?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Zeng Jia quickly interrupted her and said righteously: "Mimi, there is no way we will fail. After all, we are not ponies. They are like this because they are messing around. But our Profit channels have always been stable.”

"That's true."

Yang Mi agreed, suddenly remembering the comments about herself online.

The phrase "Desperate Sanniang" really fits her current state!

You know, in addition to this "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", the company has currently piled up no less than 4 dramas on her, including movies and TV series.

As for other variety show announcements, there are countless others.

Under such a situation, Jiaxing's profitability cannot always be stable.

Whenever there is a day of instability, it is because she is sick, or there is an emergency at home that needs to be dealt with, which will delay the profit situation.

To say she wasn't tired would be a lie, but for the sake of the company, she had to do this, and she had to do it.

After all, it was a bet of more than 100 million, and it was her first time to start a business on her own. She really wanted to succeed!

…

Another morning, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" officially started filming in Morocco.

From here on, the scenes about Zhou Xun will gradually increase. After all, her role exists throughout the entire movie.

"Queen of the Three Golden Movie Awards, you have to work hard! Don't waste my storage disk."

"Hmph! Just watch it!" Zhou Xun snorted coldly. Faced with Chen Fei's "provocation", she readily agreed.

After all, she is also Mainland China’s first three-gold Grand Slam Best Actress, and she has been nominated for Best Actress at Cannes before. If she can’t even win the title of heroine in a commercial film, how can she be a fool?

It's all joking, but the filming still needs to be done seriously.

Although I haven't worked with Zhou Xun for several years, for such an "aura" actor, no matter which director takes over, he can usually cooperate very smoothly.

The whole morning of shooting passed by without realizing it. All the materials collected were without any problems, and there were very few instances where I was called "stuck" many times.

The last shot in the current scene ended, and Chen Fei silently gave Zhou Xun a thumbs up.

"As expected of the mainland's first three-gold actress, she is so strong, I admire her!"

"Haha, are you kidding me when you think you are looking for a sister? My acting skills have never deteriorated, except for improving."

Hearing these unmodest words, Chen Fei had no other actions or words to express his current feelings except continuing to give a thumbs up.

I have to say that this woman’s face has become thicker and thicker after marriage!

At noon, a phone call suddenly came from Hollywood.

"Fei, I have some great news for you."

"Oh? What?"

Listening to Natasha's words, Chen Fei's curiosity was suddenly piqued.

"The epic movie "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts" produced by Annapurna Pictures has been completely removed from shelves in North America."

"Hey? This movie has only been released for half a month, right?"

"Yeah, 21 days to be precise."

“How much is the North American box office?”

"The total box office in North America is 39.175 million U.S. dollars, and the total global box office is 124 million U.S. dollars. The lMDb score has dropped to 5.9 points, ranking 7th on the list of bad Hollywood movies."

"Hahaha." Chen Fei couldn't help laughing immediately.

After all, before the movie was released, Megan Ellison announced a huge investment of US$300 million and an expected box office of US$1 billion.

But now it's good, the total global box office is only 124 million US dollars, what the heck is this?

"I heard that Annapurna Pictures is selling the rights to this film in an attempt to save its losses."

Chen Fei rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea: "You can also call for a bid based on the price at which Warner auctioned the script at that time, and see if they can accept it."

"Giggle."

On the other end of the phone, Natasha laughed so hard, "Fei, you are so bad, I love you so much."

"What the hell?!"

In an instant, Chen Fei's expression changed suddenly, and he felt a dark wind behind him, as if he was being targeted by something poisonous.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun sitting together in the distance, chatting.

I don’t know what topic the two women were discussing, but they seemed very happy anyway.

Perhaps noticing Chen Fei's gaze, Miss Liu turned her head and showed a sweet smile to him.

The pair of white little tiger teeth were exposed in the air. They seemed very sweet and sweet, but they seemed to be hiding a fatal crisis!

"Okay, go and get busy. I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you any more."

Chen Fei made a random excuse and cut off the call with Natasha.

He really didn't dare to talk anymore, who knew if the other person would say anything "bold".

If Liu Yifei heard this, he would suffer a lot tonight!

However, he had just hung up the phone and before he could put the phone in his pocket, a Weibo pop-up message suddenly popped up at the top of the screen:

He subconsciously clicked in, and saw a piece of news about the release of the movie appearing in the hot search, and the popularity soared!

"Hot news on Weibo: After three years since Zhao Yanzi's directorial debut set off a new wave of domestic youth movies, she has officially returned as a film director!"

"This time, the new work brought by Zhao Yanzi is called "No Other Love". It is still a highly anticipated love and drama production."

"It is reported that the film brings together many well-known actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and foreign countries, including Dai Lin, Yuan Quan, Ning Jing, Yu Feihong, Qi Xi, Sun Yue, Han Hong, etc. Their wonderful performances will undoubtedly inject more charm into this film. Vitality and spectacle.”

Although the movie chose to be low-key at the beginning, it still could not stop the enthusiasm and curiosity of movie fans.

And as various details related to the movie continue to be exposed, until today, the entire film and television industry has been completely shocked by it!

Countless people in the industry have retweeted Weibo to express their congratulations to Zhao Yanzi. Many people even acted as "dog lickers" and expressed their willingness to help the crew film for free.

The reason why half of the entertainment industry is "congratulating" is not only because of her lofty status in the film and television industry, but also because as the major shareholder of Alibaba Pictures, she spans the two major industries of film and television and finance. As a capital tycoon in the field, every move she makes affects the nerves of the entire industry.

Chen Fei was watching relevant news reports when he heard that Huang Xiaoming had dialed Zhao Yanzi's phone and sent his congratulations personally.

It has to be said that no one can fault the leader in terms of human relations.

Chen Fei didn't have any other ideas about this. Everyone had their own social circle and he had no right to interfere.

However, when he saw the name "Dai Liren", he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"Fuck! You didn't even eat in the morning, so why did you suddenly feel sick? It seems like you won't be able to eat lunch..."

While muttering, Chen Fei casually put Zhao Yanzi on the blacklist, and just turned a blind eye.

…

The next day.

Annapurna Pictures, in the president's office.

Megan Ellison looked at the list of quotations sent by various companies on her desk, her face turned blue and white, as if she had encountered some great shame and insult!

"Good! Good! That's great! You people... are so damned!"

With an angry roar, she grabbed the quotation list on the table and threw it out.

Seeing this, the secretary waiting in the office quickly advised: "Boss, calm down, don't let your anger break your body, it's not worth it..."

However, her kindness was rewarded by Megan Ellison's roar: "Get out! Get these dirty things out of here! Burn them! Burn them all!"

After hearing this, the secretary didn't say anything anymore, but squatted on the ground silently and started to pack up the quotation lists.

Looking at it, the highest bidder is Netflix, which is willing to spend US$10 million to purchase the rights to "King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts".

Next came Warner Bros., whose asking price was $8 million.

Then there are giant companies in the industry such as Universal Pictures, Disney, Paramount, Sony Columbia, etc., and their asking prices range from 6 to 8 million US dollars.

As for the last and most "dazzling" quotation, it came from Walton Pictures.

Their offer is 4.15 million!

When she saw this number, the female secretary couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Because if she remembered correctly, when Annapurna Pictures bought the script of "King Arthur" from Warner, it seemed to be 4.15 million.

"No wonder the president is so angry. This kind of offer is simply humiliating. With an investment of US$300 million, the copyright can only be sold for a maximum of US$10 million. Isn't this too much of a loss?!"

Of course, she only dared to mutter these words in her heart, and she would never dare to say them out loud.

Quickly putting away the quotation sheets scattered on the floor, the secretary quickly left the office.

Half an hour later, a slightly relieved Megan Ellison called the post-production team of "Ben-Hur."

"Boss." On the other end of the phone, Lauder vowed: "Give me another month, and the post-production of this film will definitely be completed smoothly."

After hearing a rare piece of good news, Megan Ellison felt a little better again.

"June! June at the latest! This movie must be released in North American theaters!"

Annapurna Pictures' current financial situation is very tight. She urgently needs the money and cannot wait any longer.

"Okay, Boss, don't worry, this movie will definitely appear in North America and even theaters in June."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Megan Ellison encouraged Lauder and then hung up the phone.

Recalling the quotation list just now, she snorted with a cold expression: "Just wait, the humiliation I encountered today will be repaid a hundred times in the future!"

…

In this world, there are always some things that are very coincidental.

For example, the incident that Huang Xiaoming is currently encountering makes him a little entangled and his mood is very complicated.

Just yesterday, the new movie directed by Zhao Yanzi, the goddess he had admired and pursued for a long time, was launched. Not only did he personally call to send congratulations, he also forwarded several Weibo posts for her.

But today, the movie "A Little Smile Is Allure" starring his current wife Yang Ying has also started filming.

His wife called him personally and asked him to help promote it on Weibo.

Naturally, he could not refuse this request.

But if he puts his former love object and his current one next to each other, he feels a little disconnected.

After all, both of them have a certain status and weight in his heart. Putting them together will inevitably lead to comparison.

After thinking for a while, he simply picked up his phone and "clicked" to take a photo of himself, and then shared it on Weibo.

In this way, when you post a photo of your "current wife", you won't be so estranged.

However, it was better not to post this photo. Once it was posted, it was immediately ridiculed by Zhou Xun.

"Hey? This Huang Xiaoming, why do you think of yourself as a dividing line? There is a woman above and another woman below. What is this going on?"

Liu Yifei giggled when she heard this, her eyebrows were curved, she was very cute.

Chen Fei was also convinced by Zhou Xun. Her mouth was really "poisonous", and when she said it, it was like piercing people's hearts!

…

As the Spring Festival is getting closer, not only the major film and television production companies have become busy, but even the major theater chains have become busy.

Changing promotional posters, opening box office pre-sales in advance, and negotiating the scheduling rate of related movies, it can be said that it is very busy.

However, there is only one theater chain in the circle that is facing a very embarrassing situation.

"Is it confirmed? "Ip Man 4" will not be released in Anle Cinema?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, the person in charge of the theater chain went to Emperor and Feiyue Film and Television, but was 'invited' out. It has been confirmed that this movie will not appear in any of Anle's theater chains."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhihao's face turned extremely ugly, but this did not put him in a dilemma.

He pretended to be very relaxed and kept his tone as calm and gentle as possible: "It doesn't matter, it's just a movie. The Spring Festival movie not only has "Ip Man 4", we also have "Mermaid" and "The Sleeper". "Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of the Blue Dark"."

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed a lot.

"That's right. Could it be that by taking a leap into film and television, he can release blockbuster movies every month?"

"That is, if we are a production company without him, can we still survive?"

"They are not the only ones who dominate the Chinese film market!"

A group of people were chatting away, but at this moment, a slightly harsh voice suddenly broke in:

"But the most critical issue now is that the movies produced by our company cannot be released in Pan-Asian theaters. This is the real problem!"

Suddenly, there was dead silence in the conference room.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Jiang Zhihao, hoping that he could think of a good way out.

However, what can he do?

"We will discuss the matter of theaters later." Jiang Zhihao suddenly knocked on the table and forcibly changed the topic: "Regarding "Monster Hunt 2", my idea is to replace the starring cast with actors from our Hong Kong.

Yesterday I had a chat with Tony Leung on the phone. He was very interested in this movie. How about we let him give it a try? "

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of echoes in the conference room:

"That's right, we can no longer give those mainland actors a chance. The sequel to a hit movie must use our local actors."

"Tony Leung is really good. He is very popular in the mainland. If we find him a Hong Kong actress to partner with, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office!"

"Why not let Carina Lau perform? The couple will perform on the same stage, and the popularity will come?"

"I agree! Tony Leung and Carina Lau are really a perfect match."

"It will be no problem to get 2 billion box office at that time. Even if we leave the Pan Asia Cinema Line, we still have other cinema lines to operate. This will not hinder our future development..."

Everyone talked about it, as if "Monster Hunt 2" would be a big hit once it was released.

Jiang Zhiqi gradually smiled.

That's it! The company will definitely not collapse. He doesn't believe that Feiyue Film and Television can really suppress Enlightenment Films for the rest of his life!
