Chapter 900 Unilateral Termination of Cooperation! Feiyue Film and Television Does Not Owe China Film Group Anything!
"The box office of "A Hundred Birds to the Phoenix" has reached a new high. Yesterday's new box office revenue totaled 14.69 million. It is reported that many theaters, including China Film and Television, are currently raising their average film schedule data as appropriate."
"Due to exhaustion of box office potential, "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" has been canceled by theaters, with a total box office revenue of 34.69 million."
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "The Jungle Book" was officially released yesterday, with a total box office revenue of 976 million yuan."
"Captain America 3," a science fiction and adventure film directed by the Russo brothers and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and others, was released in China for one week, with a total box office of 6.67 100 million yuan, has successfully surpassed "Chasing the Dragon"..."
"The imported Hollywood blockbuster "48 Hours" officially launches its domestic release plan today and will compete with the love movie "Goodbye" starring Chen Bolin and Jiang Wenli!"
…
The 13th was quite lively, with all kinds of entertainment news flooding Weibo, which was quite dizzying.
Chen Fei saw that many people were complaining about Jiang Wenli, saying that she had also imitated Aunt Liu Xiaoqing and started to act like an old cow eating young grass in movies and TV series.
The former likes to be paired with young and handsome actors, and the latter doesn't seem to be willing to give in too much.
I just don’t know which of these two is more skilled in private?
In fact, in Chen Fei's opinion, the two should be able to draw.
After all, Liu Xiaoqing was able to charm Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wenli was able to go to Europe for her "honeymoon" with Huang Xuan while remaining married to Gu Changwei.
It has to be said that the lives of these two aunty actresses are simply colorful!
One night passed, and when the time came to the 14th, an announcement from Feiyue Film and Television caused quite a stir in the industry.
"It is controlled by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, jointly produced by Golden Shield, Hai Zheng and other units, produced by Feiyue Film and Television, with Chen Fei as the producer, Kang Honglei as the director, Zhou Meisen as the screenwriter, Bao Jianfeng, Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, Zhang Fengyi, Xu Ya The anti-corruption drama "In the Name of the People" starring Jun, Ke Lan and others was officially announced in Shandong Province today! "
Since the script "In the Name of the People" was initially rejected by several companies, there are not a few people in the industry who know the content of this script.
Because of this, everyone was very surprised that Feiyue Pictures dared to take the initiative to undertake the production task of this TV series and actually filmed it!
"I have to say that Chen Fei is really brave. After seeing the name "In the Name of the People", ordinary film and television company bosses will probably start to back down."
On the sofa in the living room of Han Sanping's house, La Pikang was amazed, with a little admiration in his tone.
The "mountain eagle" sitting opposite him responded calmly: "As long as you walk upright and sit upright, what's the point of fear? Who can control him or dare to attack him?"
Hearing this, La Pikang was slightly startled, feeling a little weird for no reason.
He always felt that there was something in Han Sanping's words, but for a moment he wasn't sure.
At this time, Han Jianu, who was sitting aside and responsible for making tea, seemed more excited.
She also understood the content of the script "In the Name of the People", so she naturally knew what was told in it. It was an "earth-shattering" story!
In comparison, although the script she is currently writing is quite "bold", there is still a certain gap between it and "In the Name of the People".
So good, Feiyue Pictures even dared to film a subject like "In the Name of the People", so there is no reason why they should not dare to film the script she wrote.
Thinking of this, she felt more and more confident.
"The script is almost finished. I will refine it a few more times and show it to my senior brother after he finishes filming "La La Land"... Well, that's the decision!"
Han Jia'v was making plans in her mind when she heard La Sheikang suddenly bring the topic to her.
"Jia Nu, I heard from your dad that you are writing a new script recently? What is the theme of it? Do you want me to help you take a look? China Film can also support you."
"No, no need." Han Jianu waved her hands repeatedly: "The script hasn't been written yet, let's wait until then."
"Ha." Han Sanping on the side took a sip of tea and casually complained about her daughter: "She is mysterious every day. Those who don't know would think you have written some shocking story."
Han Jianu snorted: "You will know when I write it out, and then you have to hold your chin!"
"Why are you holding your chin?" Han Sanping didn't react for a while.
"Be careful, I'll scare your jaw off!"
Han Sanping: "..."
"Hahahaha!" La Pikang laughed and said, "Remember to show it to me when the time comes. This kind of masterpiece deserves a good reward."
The three of them chatted for a while, and after a while, Han Jianu was about to get up and leave.
She knew that La Sheikang had something very important to say when he came to see her father this time. As a junior, she could just come out and say hello and leave. There was no need to wait and listen to other people talk about things.
"Uncle, I have to go back and write the script. Why don't you two talk!"
After saying hello, Han Jianu was ready to get up and leave.
However, at this moment, La Sheikang's cell phone suddenly rang rapidly!
…
Huayi.
On the chair in the office, Feng Xiaogang crossed his legs, looking leisurely and contented.
He has sent the finished film of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" to the San Sebastian International Film Festival, and has already found the relevant judges in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, one or two awards are inevitable.
He could not hide his excitement and excitement when he thought that the scene of his receiving the award would become popular on the Internet again.
At this moment, the voices of Wang Zhonglei and Ye Ning talking suddenly rang in his ears.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think of the script of "Youth"? "
"The story is great. I have read the first draft before. At that time, I felt astonished. This version of the refined manuscript is even more wonderful..."
Feng Xiaogang followed up with a sentence: "Haha, Mr. Ye praised me so much, I will be proud."
"Hey! Director Feng's talent is recognized as strong in the industry. I am just stating a fact in a realistic way."
The three chatted very enthusiastically, and during the conversation, they had already determined the subsequent preparations and arrangements.
Feng Xiaogang said: "I plan to submit the script for review in a few days, and then start to follow up the casting plan and arrangements. The casting work must be completed by August at the latest, and the actors will be arranged to join the group for training, script reading, and dance rehearsal.
Then after "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is released, I will immediately follow up the filming of this movie."
Wang Zhonglei responded without hesitation: "Okay, sure, Huayi will fully support it."
Ye Ning followed with a smile: "When "Youth" comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the industry!"
"Haha, then I'll borrow Mr. Ye's good words."
However, just as the three were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Come in!"
As Ye Ning's voice sounded, the door opened and the secretary walked in quickly.
"You are so flustered, what happened?"
"President Wang, President Ye, Director Feng." The secretary greeted them first, and then explained: "Look online, Feiyue Film and Television has launched a new film project!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the three of them took out their mobile phones and opened Weibo almost at the same time.
...
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy can sometimes become a friend.
For example, in the Bona conference room now, Yu Dong and Jiang Zhiqiang are sitting opposite each other, talking happily, and there is an atmosphere of meeting bosom friends.
Of course, it is impossible for them to be the only two in the huge conference room. There are also Song Ge, the boss of Jingxi Culture and Tourism Company, and Wu Ershan from Hohhot, Inner Mongolia.
Today's meeting was actually organized by Song Ge.
As the boss of Jingxi Culture and Tourism Company, he has dabbled in many aspects of the film and television industry and is also a considerable investor.
And today, the reason why he organized this meeting was mainly for a film project, which originated from Tencent's "Fengshen Trilogy".
In 2014, he had already got the project in his hands and started the long preparation stage of forming a team.
Through the introduction of a middleman with great "weight", he met Wu Ershan.
The latter happened to like the story of Fengshen very much and had always wanted to present it as a mythological epic movie.
As soon as the two met, they were like a piece of firewood meeting a raging fire, and a chemical reaction occurred instantly.
After two years of preparation, Wu Ershan led the screenwriter team to briefly refine the huge material of the original work and pioneered the "trilogy" narrative structure of a single independent film and three parts forming a complete story.
This structure not only fills the gap in the Chinese mythological epic genre, but also officially opens up a mythological world where people, immortals and demons coexist with contemporary film language, technology and interpretation.
Song Ge was very satisfied with the script, and then Wu Ershan hit it off and prepared to find a suitable investor to officially implement the project.
In order to maximize the benefits of relevant policies, Song Ge plans to make this film a co-production between the mainland and Hong Kong.
It just so happened that he was very familiar with Jiang Zhiqi and the two sides had cooperated many times, so Anle Pictures naturally became one of his targets.
As for the mainland, he took a fancy to Bona. The reason for choosing Bona was mainly because Yu Dong had previously invested in a movie called "Legend of the Gods".
Therefore, in Song Ge's view, Yu Dong should be a "knowledgeable" person. After all, it is still difficult for ordinary people to accept the "Legend of the Gods" system, and people with experience will naturally accept it more.
This meeting has been going on for more than half an hour, and Wu Ershan has now finished telling the story of the movie and the overall structure.
Song Ge cleared his throat and said loudly: "In order to highlight the big scenes, big lineups, and big backgrounds, my plan for the "Legend of the Gods Trilogy" is to invest 1 billion in each one! A total cost of 3 billion! We want to make a real big investment movie! The benchmark is Hollywood! Not the mainland!"
As soon as this came out, Yu Dong and Jiang Zhiqi were a little confused.
A movie costs 1 billion? Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?
"Mr. Song?" Yu Dong asked doubtfully, "With such a high cost, can we make back the money? If we lose money..."
"Mr. Yu, don't say discouraging words." Song Ge explained confidently, "There are already three domestic movies with a box office of 3 billion yuan, and the box office data of the film market is increasing by 30% every year.
The first movie in the "Fengshen" series will be released in five or six years at the earliest. By then, the domestic box office may have entered the 5 billion era.
And our minimum goal is only 3 billion. Is it difficult?"
Jiang Zhiru thought about it and expressed his approval: "If it is five or six years later, then 3 billion will not be difficult."
You know, he has now set the expected box office of "Monster Hunt 2" to 3.5 billion, while "Feng Shen" is only 3 billion. It is not difficult at all.
With a cost of 1 billion invested, coupled with such a good film structure and story, the possibility of success is not ordinary!
Seeing that Yu Dong still seemed hesitant, Song Ge used his sharp tongue and persuaded him again.
"Isn't Bona going to return to the A-share market? A film with an investment cost of up to 1 billion should be helpful to the stock market, right? And I heard that Alibaba Pictures seems to have reached a strategic cooperation with Bona. But over there, I’m very rich, and I don’t mind having a few more investors...”
After some persuasion, Yu Dong was inevitably moved.
He swallowed and gritted his teeth: "In that case, then I will gamble with Director Song and Director Wu!"
As soon as the words fell, laughter suddenly erupted in the conference room.
"Director Yu, Director Jiang, then I wish us a happy cooperation... Director Wu will be in charge of this project. I selected him carefully and will definitely not let you down..."
A few people chatted and soon agreed to go out and celebrate tonight.
However, just as the conference room door opened, the secretary who had been waiting outside the door quickly handed the tablet computer to Yu Dong.
"Dr. Yu, please read the news quickly. There is new news from Feiyue Film and Television!"
…
In the eyes of many people in the film and television industry, today is actually lively enough.
A lot of movies such as "The Phoenix", "Captain America 3", "48 Hours", "Goodbye", "Chasing the Dragon", etc. are being screened lively and competing for popularity. Search list.
Then it was followed by the completion of "In the Name of the People", which triggered a wave of heated discussions.
But what everyone never expected was that the real depth bomb was still waiting behind!
At 10 o'clock in the morning, a public announcement document from the Film Bureau, as well as joint announcements from multiple film and television companies, directly topped the list of hot searches on Weibo, and successfully landed on the headlines of major entertainment sections!
"Reprinted from the official website of the Film Bureau: Controlled by Feiyue Film and Television, and jointly produced by Xiying, Wanda, Shanghai Film, Enlight, and China Space Administration, with an investment cost of up to 600 million yuan, the film script "The Wandering Earth" is adapted from Liu Cixin's novel of the same name. It is currently available The filing was successful and the project was approved.”
"Feiyue Film and Television announced that "The Wandering Earth" will be produced by Chen Fei, and director Guo Fan will once again take the lead to lead the Chinese science fiction film to continue to set sail!"
"Previously, "Gravity" and "The Martian" directed by Director Guo Fan successfully refreshed the Chinese film box office rankings with box office results of 1.657 billion and 3.269 billion respectively. Now, after several years, Director Guo Fan once again He will return with science fiction movies, so stay tuned for his wonderful performance!”
"Jin Provincial Cultural Tourism announced that in order to cooperate with the filming of "The Wandering Earth", a supporting film and television shooting base will be built for it, with an expected investment of no less than 1 billion yuan!"
"The casting work related to "The Wandering Earth" will be officially launched from now on. All major actors and agencies are welcome to submit their resumes and participate in auditions..."
As one press release after another appeared on the Internet, the entire entertainment industry was stunned by this "big cake"!
Investment of 600 million, Feiyue Film and Television is the main control, Chen Fei is the producer, Guo Fan is the director, Chinese science fiction movie, supporting film and television shooting base...
With the exposure of these key pieces of information, the industry seems to have seen that another 3 billion box office movie is about to be born!
"Gravity" and "The Martian" have proven how strong the production lineup of "Guo Fan + Chen Fei" is, and now, the appearance of "The Wandering Earth" is undoubtedly sending a signal to the outside world:
Chinese-language movies are about to hit the 4 billion box office!
For a time, countless actors, agents, and agencies in the industry all had their eyes lit up, eager to pounce on this delicious piece of cake!
The other film and television companies, without exception, started to drool with greed.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you can participate in this kind of project, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. You may even make a lot of money, and even gain fame and fortune along with it!
However, this kind of opportunity is not available to ordinary companies at all, because Feiyue Film and Television's allies have always been very fixed.
But at the same time, many people also discovered the clues.
Although there is only one word difference between Xiying and China Film, they represent two companies!
The atmosphere in the living room of Han Sanping's house has completely dropped to freezing point.
Han Jianu sat on the chair, her head hanging slightly, not daring to move for fear of causing some big disaster.
But if you look carefully, you will find that her ears are very high at this moment, for fear that she will miss the details of the call between La Sheikang and Chen Fei, so that she will not be able to finish this fresh melon.
~
After the initial shock, confusion, confusion, and anger, La Pikang had temporarily calmed down. He was ready to have a calm communication with Chen Fei in order to break some misunderstandings between the two parties.
"The Wandering Earth" is just a project that has just been launched, so it's not like China Film has no chance to continue to participate.
As soon as the call was connected, La Pikang suppressed the unknown fire in his heart and asked very patiently:
"Chen Fei, I just paid attention to Feiyue Film and Television's new project "The Wandering Earth", especially about the investors. I am very confused. Why haven't I heard any news about the preparation of this Chinese science fiction film? Is China Film just that? So completely excluded?"
The crew of "La La Land" has stopped filming. The director entered the lounge and everyone could only wait.
At this time, except for Chen Fei, all the makeup artists and staff in the lounge had already left.
Therefore, he does not need to avoid people when speaking.
"Director La is joking, where does the word "ostracize" come from? "The Wandering Earth" is our company's own project. It seems that it is our own right to choose who to be an investor, right?"
As soon as these words came out, La Pikang was speechless.
This is indeed the truth. What Chen Fei said is correct, but the result should not be like this!
Since "Wolf Warrior 2" did not invite China Film to participate in investment, La Sheikang had already had a hunch that something was wrong with the relationship between the two parties.
And now that "The Wandering Earth" has come out, along with the emergence of Xiying, China Film has withdrawn, and the situation has become more obvious.
Feiyue Film and Television has surprisingly unilaterally terminated its cooperation with China Film!
La Sheikang was a little flustered, but his tone was still strong: "Chen Fei, the existence of China Film is necessary, because without the help of China Film, some problems encountered in the preparation and shooting process of large-scale science fiction movies will be very difficult to deal with. ...I think we need to sit down and talk. There may be some misunderstandings between you and me..."
"No need." Chen Fei's tone was very calm, but with a strong sense of alienation: "China Film is not the only state-owned enterprise in the country, Xiying and Shanghai Film are enough to solve most problems. If not, there is Aerospace. The bureau can help.”
"But……"
La Sheikang wanted to continue saying something, but was directly interrupted by Chen Fei.
"La Dong, if I heard correctly, you seemed to be saying that there are some misunderstandings between you and me, right?"
"That's right!" La Qikang quickly explained as if he was submissive: "Some things are not what you think. I actually have my own reasons. Maybe you felt that what I did was excessive at the time, but there are reasons for that. I will also try my best to make it up to you later..."
"hehe."
Chen Fei suddenly laughed out loud, with a bit of ridicule in his tone: "La Dong, you may not know me as a person, because my family was poor when I was a child, so the old man has always taught me not to conflict with others, and to make big problems as small as possible. , it’s a trivial matter...
But later I discovered that when I backed down and gave in, the people who bullied me would not stop. Instead, they would think that I was particularly easy to bully. Anyway, I wouldn’t fight back, not even if I bullied them a few more times. What consequences.
But what those who bully me don't know is that I actually hold grudges very much, and I believe in the principle that a gentleman should take revenge no later than ten years.
Lu Chuan failed to make comebacks several times, China Star was delisted and went into bankruptcy liquidation, Bona returned from Nasdaq in despair, Orange Sky Entertainment fell from a first-tier entertainment company to a third-tier entertainment company..."
Following the words that came out of Chen Fei's mouth, the living room fell into dead silence!
Han Jia Nu kept swallowing her saliva and suddenly regretted appearing here.
She didn't know why, but she was inexplicably afraid that she would be "killed and silenced" because she had heard too many secrets that she shouldn't have heard today!
At this time, La Pikang's face was ashen and his ears were red!
After all, he couldn't hold it back and asked aloud: "Dr. Chen, do you mean that China Film has become the person who bullies you?"
Chen Fei did not answer his words, but suddenly changed the subject:
“In order to prevent being bullied, when I was practicing martial arts when I was a child, I would try to make as many friends as possible. We would support each other, make progress together, and play with equality and respect. If he was bullied, I would help him, and if I was bullied, I would help him. Even if I get bullied, he will help me... We are equal, we do not owe each other, we respect each other, and we will not interfere with each other's way of playing..."
After hearing these words, La Pikang suddenly felt embarrassed.
He opened his mouth, trying to argue a few words, but when he recalled what he had done, he didn't know where to start.
Han Sanping, who was sitting opposite, listened silently to the conversation between the two and had no intention of interrupting, but when she looked at La Sheikang, there was a bit of regret in her eyes.
He had no choice but to step down from the position of chairman of China Film Group Corporation, but now, it is clear that the person who succeeded him does not have the same strategizing skills as him.
At the end of the call, Chen Fei calmly said to Complain Kang:
"Director La, you can think about it carefully. Feiyue Film and Television actually doesn't owe China Film anything. Director Han should also understand this."
After saying that, he directly pressed the hang up button, ended the call on his own initiative, walked out of the lounge, and started filming "La La Land" again.
