Chapter 868 "How Invincible Is so Lonely"

Chapter 868 "Invincibility is so...so! Lonely..."

Time has entered February in a blink of an eye. In the morning, the film and television industry was filled with joy!

The main reason is that the popular imported Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has finally been removed from domestic theaters.

However, the box office results left many insiders speechless.

"The imported Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", controlled by Lucasfilm and co-produced by Walton Films, has been in theaters for one month and has grossed a total of 1.563 billion yuan at the box office, successfully leading the January schedule. "

Not to mention other film companies, Guangguang and Huayi are both silent.

You know, even if it is "Old Man" + "Bad Angel", the total box office of these two movies combined cannot catch up with "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

This is so embarrassing!

After all, it has received the blessing of the Lunar New Year movie, but it can't catch up with a Hollywood blockbuster. Isn't this obviously telling the outside world that domestic blockbusters are not as good as imported Hollywood blockbusters?

Well, not many people discuss this topic, because the Spring Festival is just around the corner!

In 8 days time, several blockbusters will be released.

Under such circumstances, who among us would care to pay attention to the competition between mainland movies and imported Hollywood blockbusters?

"Invincibility is so...so! Lonely..."

Arriving at the set early in the morning, Chen Fei was immediately amused when he listened to the lyrics hummed by Zhou Xun.

I have to say that the lineup of Xingye + Deng Chao is really awesome in the field of comedy!

The former wrote the lyrics and composed the music himself, coupled with the latter's slutty singing style, it immediately aroused huge popularity on the Internet as soon as it came out!

Looking around, there are countless people who know how to make jokes online.

Especially on Youku, various second and third creation videos have already appeared in turn, directly putting this song on the hot search list.

Even Huang Xiaoming, who has always been in competition with Deng Chao, commented: "Don't tell me, this song is quite magical. The more I listen to it, the more I get addicted to it. I think it will be popular for several months."

Chen Fei chuckled and agreed: "Before "Mermaid" is released, this song probably won't be on the hot search list."

"That's true. After all, the promotion of this movie is really strong, much stronger than other movies in the same period during the Spring Festival!"

Listening to the conversation between Chen Fei and Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Director Chen, aren't you also an investor in "The Mermaid"? How much box office do you think this movie can have?"

As soon as these words came out, many people on the set looked over, all filled with deep curiosity.

Chen Fei smiled and did not give everyone an accurate figure, but he revealed some news: "Based on the name Zhou Xingchi alone, I guess it should not be less than 1.5 billion."

Everyone was not too surprised when they heard this.

Zhang Yi even commented: "It's true, looking at the whole mainland, who doesn't owe Xingye a movie ticket? After this movie is released, I will definitely support a movie ticket."

"Haha, okay, if we have time then, let's go together."

The crew of "Operation Red Sea" will stay in Morocco until the 5th of this month, which is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

Afterwards, the crew will have a week-long vacation before returning to Morocco for filming.

There are still 5 days left before the holiday, and he has to be busy during this period, because Chen Fei is preparing to completely end all filming work in the local city at this stage.

It's inevitable to keep spinning, but since the holidays are here, everyone doesn't have any objections. They all want to finish filming as soon as possible and go home to celebrate the New Year.

…

Although the filming work is very busy, Chen Fei did not deliberately delay some mainland work.

He would get documents such as the company's bonus distribution and tax reports as soon as he returned to the hotel every night.

In addition to being his dance teacher during this period, Liu Yifei even worked as a secretary and assistant, which is called a virtuous person.

After watching Ms. Liu use her Weibo account to help forward the promotional draft of "Ip Man 4", Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh:

"If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?"

One sentence directly made Liu Yifei's cheeks turn red: "Who...who said I want to be your wife? Don't talk nonsense!"

"Haha, I don't care. Anyway, you have to do it now, and you have to do it even if you don't. Resistance is useless."

While talking, Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Shoucheng's number.

The call was quickly answered.

"Director Chen? What are your orders?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to ask you if you have any difficulties in the publicity work before the release of "Ip Man 4"? Do you need my help?"

"Haha, no, everything is going very smoothly, just waiting for the official arrival of the 8th."

"Okay." Chen Fei responded and specifically reminded: "You have to remember that our goal is not "Mermaid", nor is it "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights the Bone Demon". We only have one opponent..."

Before he could finish his words, Yang Shoucheng immediately answered: "Is it "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: The Sword of the Dark"?"

"That's right! As long as "Ip Man 4" can beat "The Sword of the Dark" at the box office and have a better reputation than it, it means victory!"

"Okay, Director Chen, I understand."

Yang Shoucheng responded with confidence in his words.

He has been paying attention to the publicity efforts there during this period.

Even with the help of China Film Group, the movie didn't make much splash.

I don't know what the film producers were thinking, but they actually sold nostalgia?

But the key problem is that selling nostalgia doesn't work. The leading actors of this sequel have almost all been replaced, and it has been more than ten years since the last one.

And Zhen Zixuan's reputation has been rotten, and Yang Ziqiong is even older. She is no longer as charming as Yu Xiulian more than ten years ago.

In this case, how much nostalgia can be sold?

In comparison, the nostalgia of the final work of "Ip Man 4" is much higher than that of "Sword of Destiny"!

…

Time quickly came to the 5th.

At noon, as the last wisp of gunpowder slowly dissipated in the camera, the filming work of the movie "Operation Red Sea" in the city finally came to an end.

"Cut!"

With Chen Fei's order, cheers like a tsunami suddenly rang out in the studio.

After 35 days of busy filming, the work finally came to an end. Although everyone only had one week of vacation, it was better than no vacation at all.

You know, most crews did not stop working even during the Chinese New Year in order to catch up with the progress.

In comparison, the treatment of the "Operation Red Sea" crew was already very good.

At the same time, after checking all the pictures just taken, Chen Fei slowly raised his eyes and fell on the unfinished buildings not far away that were used for filming.

Because of the lack of funds, these unfinished buildings have been suspended for many years, and they look dilapidated and lonely from the outside.

The local government has clearly stated that these buildings will be demolished in the later stage, and the nearby residents have been relocated, so the crew can do whatever they want!

At this time, Chen Fei's heart moved, and a bold and exciting idea that had been hidden in his heart for a long time came to mind!

He turned to look at the other leading actors on the set, smiled and made a suggestion: "Everyone, before we leave, let's drive the tank to say goodbye to those unfinished buildings, how about it?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and cheers rose one after another!

This proposal was like a spark, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

After all... who doesn't want to witness the shocking scene of driving a tank to destroy a building?

"I'll do it, I can drive a tank!"

Zhang Yi was eager to try, and immediately jumped on the tank and sat in the driver's seat, holding the joystick with both hands, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Fade Chen stepped forward and stood on the tank turret, holding a loudspeaker, giving orders to everyone, like a conductor, about to lead a shocking symphony.

The tank started slowly, with a deafening roar, and drove towards the unfinished building.

Everyone around held their breath, and their eyes followed the movement of the tank closely.

At the same time, the staff along the way raised their mobile phones, wanting to record this rare and spectacular scene.

The tank stopped in front of the unfinished building. With the help of a local government soldier, Chen Fei and Zhang Yi adjusted the angle and aimed the muzzle at a load-bearing wall of the building.

Then, Chen Fei came out from the upper observation port, took out the telescope, and carefully observed the target, like a cheetah staring at its prey!

"Are you ready?" He shouted loudly, his voice full of expectation.

"Ready!"

Zhang Yi responded loudly, his voice full of excitement and expectation. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the period when he served in the army, ready to meet the upcoming battle at any time.

The next second, Chen Fei gave an order, like a general on the battlefield giving an order to charge.

"Fire!"

"Boom!!!"

A dazzling flame instantly spurted out of the muzzle of the tank, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky.

The shell whistled out, flying towards the unfinished building with the power of destruction.

At this moment, everyone's eyes followed the trajectory of the shell closely, as if time had stopped.

"Bang!!!"

With a loud bang, the load-bearing wall collapsed instantly under the power of the shells, and the scene was full of rubble and dust.

The whole building shook violently with the explosion, as if an earthquake was happening.

Then, under the amazed gaze of the crowd, the unfinished building slowly collapsed, raising a huge cloud of dust, as if a mushroom cloud was rising slowly!

"Fuck! Awesome!"

"Wow, are shells so powerful?"

"Awesome, my God! This is too cool!"

Cheers and screams came one after another, and everyone seemed to witness the birth of a miracle.

Behind the telescope, Chen Fei grinned and shouted loudly: "Fuck! This is cool! This demolition method is much faster than the excavator."

The dust gradually dissipated, and the ruins of the unfinished building were exposed to everyone.

Looking around, the scene was nothing but a pile of rubble and exposed steel bars and cement. The high-rise building had completely disappeared.

Chen Fei turned his attention to several other unfinished buildings. After making a gesture with Zhang Yi, the two of them drove the tank without hesitation and started the "demolition" plan.

Weibo soon had relevant videos and content introductions. Once they appeared, they went straight to the hot search list!

At this moment, both netizens and insiders were stunned by Chen Fei and Zhang Yi's "demolition" operation in Morocco.

"What's going on? My goodness, this movie was shot, and the director and the leading actor drove a tank to bomb the building?"

"Damn! It feels so good to watch! Sure enough, I still have to follow Director Chen, but I can actually drive a tank and blast the building myself!"

"As expected of a war-themed movie, it can be a big scene like this at any time. If this movie is officially released, is it still not allowed to take off?"

"I heard that even warships and military helicopters were used to fight pirates directly at sea."

"So, when will this movie be released? What's the reason for the inexplicable expectations? It feels even more awesome than "Operation Mekong"!"

Along with the heated discussion among netizens, the news about "Operation Red Sea" was suddenly on the top of the hot search, opening up a new track in the current chaos of the Spring Festival.

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw the news.

He really didn't expect that he and Zhang Yi just went out and tanked for a lap, but they could actually trigger such a heated discussion in domestic entertainment.

"It can be considered as a warm-up for movie promotion in advance, haha."

Listening to his words, Liu Yifei said casually: "The Spring Festival is coming soon, aren't you in the way? You've grabbed so many hot searches and attention."

"Ha." Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and said in a very pretentious manner: "Who has any objections? You can come to me to chat."

"Hey, I know you are powerful, but can you pack your luggage now? With so many things, which ones do you want to take back to the capital?"

…

There are less than three days left before New Year's Eve. Logically speaking, most people who should go home would have already arrived and started preparing New Year's goods, but the Capital Airport is still bustling with people!

Not only the number of tourists, but also the number of media, reporters, and paparazzi has increased several times.

When Chen Fei led the actors from the "Operation Red Sea" crew to the exit, he saw that the exit was crowded.

Looking around, a group of young fans were trying to squeeze in, but those inside were unwilling to let go, so that from time to time a series of high-pitched screams would be heard from the scene.

There were so many people at the scene that most reporters and paparazzi were stopped outside and could only hold their cameras high to take pictures.

Huang Xiaoming was a little surprised and said: "Huh? What kind of star is this? Is he so popular?"

"I don't know, I can't see clearly." Zhou Xun agreed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Taking advantage of this good opportunity, let's escape quickly and don't be surrounded by the media and paparazzi."

Everyone was in a hurry to go home and had no interest in dealing with the media and paparazzi at the airport, so everyone walked out in a low-key manner with their heads lowered.

When passing by the crowded crowd, Fade Chen purposely took a look through the gap.

When he saw clearly who the person being surrounded was, he obviously lost interest.

The person inside is none other than Wu Yifan, who has just starred in the movie "Old Paoer" and is at the peak of his popularity and limelight.

"As a traffic star, he doesn't wear any disguises such as sunglasses and masks. Isn't this obviously to increase the workload of the staff at Capital Airport?"

Chen Fei secretly complained, and then withdrew his gaze.

The group of people walked very fast and left the congested area in an instant, heading straight for the exit.

By this time, many people in the distance had actually noticed Chen Fei's "large army". After all, there were too many assistants, bodyguards, etc. around them and they were too eye-catching.

However, before the media and paparazzi could react, a group of people had already left the exit and walked quickly into the minibus that came to pick them up.

Although a group of paparazzi rushed over at the speed of a 100-meter race, they could not get close to the bus because of the obstruction of the bodyguards.

In the end, they could only watch the bus speeding towards the city and disappearing from their sight.

…

"At 9 o'clock in the morning capital time, all the main creative members of the "Operation Red Sea" crew chartered a flight back to China. They walked in a hurry and did not stop at the airport for a moment."

"Because a large number of Wu Yifan's fans came to pick him up, the exit of the Capital Airport was blocked, which seriously affected the travel of passengers. He was criticized and abused by a large number of netizens..."

"In order to protect his idol image, fans of Wu Yifan quarreled with a large number of netizens, resulting in many posts being forcibly blocked by Weibo officials!"

The media and paparazzi have a very keen sense of smell.

Although they did not take any useful photos or videos at the airport, the news that all the creative members of the "Operation Red Sea" crew returned to the capital was exposed immediately.

However, compared to the low profile of Chen Fei and others, Wu Yifan's high profile is a bit too embarrassing.

Many media and netizens are criticizing this upstart in the traffic circle, which has triggered a lot of responses from his fans.

Chen Fei didn't pay attention to this at all. After returning to the villa, the two simply packed their luggage and went to a large supermarket nearby.

After spending an hour buying a lot of new year's goods, the two got in the car and went straight to the courtyard.

"Old man, we're back!" As soon as he entered the door, Chen Fei began to shout carelessly.

The old man who heard the commotion strode out of the living room and was about to scold him when he saw Liu Yifei carrying two gift bags.

"Oh, little Sissy! Why are you carrying so many things? Is it heavy? Just put it on the ground and let this brat take it by himself. Isn't it cold outside? Go into the house with grandpa. It's warm inside... "

The old man came forward, took the things in Liu Yifei's hand, put them on the ground, and then pulled her into the living room.

Seeing himself being "thrown" at the door, Chen Fei wanted to cry but had no tears.

The old man now has a granddaughter-in-law he likes, so his grandson is useless.

Fortunately, he brought Liu Yifei back this year, otherwise, he would not have a good year!
