Chapter 935 How Much Money Is Considered a Lot? The Leader’s Dilemma: Wall Street Is Destined to Lose to Hollywood!
After getting up at eight o'clock and posting on Weibo, Chen Fei went directly to the bathroom to wash up.
There was something that needed him to make a decision at the company this morning, so he had to go to the company early.
Liu Yifei also got up at this time, and it was rare that she didn't continue to sleep in.
Because with "La La Land" being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival, she, the leading actress, was also successfully nominated as the best actress.
Such a big happy event directly dispelled her sleepiness.
Looking around, the Internet is already very restless at this time, especially the Weibo of the two, which has been "conquered" by countless fans.
"Congratulations to Yifei! After winning the Best Actress Award at Cannes, she is nominated for the Best Actress Award at Venice Film Festival again!"
"I knew it! This movie will definitely not be made in vain! Oh my God! The Best Actress Award at Venice Film Festival is just around the corner! This is amazing!"
"These two are really amazing. They wrote, directed and acted in their own movies, and they were successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit and nominated for the Best Actor and Best Actress Award at Venice Film Festival. I am really impressed!"
"I still remember when Director Chen Fei decided to make this movie, many people said that the theme of musicals was not very exciting. What about now? Where are those who said it was not possible?"
"Haozi! Come out and speak!"
On the sofa, Liu Yifei smiled very happily, and the smile on her face never faded.
Because in addition to many fans sending congratulations under her Weibo account, many actors, stars and filmmakers in the circle also sent her congratulations.
Especially Zhou Xun, who is currently filming the crew of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", said excitedly that she would also go to Venice with him!
In addition to Zhou Xun, other guest stars Shu Chang, Jing Tian, Zhao Liying, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others also expressed their desire to form a group to follow her to Venice.
Miss Liu, who was in a good mood at the moment, naturally accepted all the requests and generously said that anyone who wanted to go could sign up in advance, and she would charter a plane and take everyone there.
When Chen Fei came out of the bathroom, he saw Liu Yifei making a video call with Shu Chang.
"I'll go to the company first, and I'll take you to a big dinner when I come back in the evening."
"Okay! Okay! Come on, let's kiss first before we go!"
"Trojan horse, haha, I'll let you kiss enough when I come back in the evening..."
On the phone, Shu Chang was already starting to get crazy: "Ah!!! Kill the dog!!! What are you two doing in broad daylight!!!"
"Heh, you single dog." Chen Fei came to the screen and said to her without any hesitation, picked up the coat on the sofa, and walked straight out.
Liu Yifei called from behind: "Remember to come back early in the evening."
"Yeah, don't worry, I won't be back in the evening, I'll probably be back in the afternoon."
Before the voice disappeared, Chen Feiren had already left the door.
However, just as he walked through the gate of the villa, he saw an Audi car coming from a distance and stopped at the door.
Looking at the license plate number, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Isn't this Han Sanping's car?"
After waiting for a few seconds, the car door was pushed open suddenly, and Han Jianu stepped down from the driver's seat and walked straight to the villa.
"Huh? Why are you coming to my house so early in the morning?"
"I came to play with Sister Yifei and congratulate her on her nomination for the Venice Film Festival." While speaking, Han Jianu also shook the packaging bag in her hand, obviously bringing a gift for Liu Yifei.
"Oh." Chen Fei responded casually, and then asked: "Where is Mr. Han? Why are you driving his car?"
"Isn't China Film going to ring the bell for listing today? He flew to Shanghai in the early morning, and I drove him there. The driver had something at home and had asked for several days off."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional!
After being reminded by Han Jianu, Chen Fei suddenly realized that today was the day when China Film started its listing!
It's no wonder that Han Sanping flew to Shanghai. After all, he was one of the original shareholders of China Film and got on the car with La Peikang very early.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will also be part of the crowd when the bell rings.
As soon as China Film went public, Shanghai Film followed suit. With the attributes of state-owned enterprises, it is destined that both companies will become giants in the future!
Chen Fei shook his head, and inexplicably sighed: "How much money does it take to be considered a lot?"
After getting in the car, he told the driver to go to the company while taking out his mobile phone to check the news, quietly waiting for the news of China Film's listing.
Because it is still early, most of the heavy news has not yet appeared, which has successfully led to the entire entertainment industry still discussing the news about the Venice International Film Festival.
As for the fact that "La La Land" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, the actresses showed much more attention than the actors!
"She just won the Cannes Best Actress Award last year, and was successfully nominated for the Venice Best Actress this year. If she wins the Berlin Best Actress Award in a few years, wouldn't she have achieved the Grand Slam of the three European Best Actress Awards?
She is so lucky! Her boyfriend is a big director, a big screenwriter, and a big investor. He can easily help her achieve goals that many people can't achieve in their entire lives..."
In the office, listening to Yang Mi's undisguised envy and jealousy, Zeng Jia had to comfort her: "She is just a little luckier. In fact, she is not as good as you in other aspects."
"But just this point of good luck is enough to make me far behind."
"Don't underestimate yourself. As long as you work hard, you will always gain something. You never know when you will soar to the top and become a top actress."
"Haha, work hard? Am I not working hard enough now? If hard work can bring good resources, then I would have been a top actress in Hollywood!"
Yang Mi curled her lips and quickly accepted the reality.
She and Liu Yifei are no longer in the same world. The most urgent task is to complete the 300 million bet first, push Jiaxing to the level of a listed company, and successfully promote herself to capital.
"By the way." Yang Mi turned off her phone and looked up at Zeng Jia: "What's the matter with you calling me to the company so early? I have a promotional event to attend at 9 o'clock."
"Don't worry about the event, you have to come and sign this document."
"Oh? What document?"
Yang Mi took a few steps forward curiously and came to the desk.
Zeng Jia pushed a document in front of her.
Looking down, I saw the title of the movie "Reverse Time Rescue" written on the first page of the document, and the consent form for participating in the Houston International Film Festival followed.
Instantly, Yang Mi's eyes widened!
"Has Yaolai Pictures confirmed it?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed. The film will be sent to the 50th Houston International Film Festival next year."
"What about my heroine? Is there hope?" Yang Mi asked impatiently. She really lacked awards to lay a foundation for herself.
"Yes! Chen Long said that as long as you can cooperate with the promotion throughout the process, he will cheer for you, including next year's Chen Long Action Film Week, he will reserve a Best Action Actress Award for you in advance."
"Okay!"
Yang Mi was overjoyed, and the depression in her heart because of Liu Yifei's nomination for the Venice Film Queen instantly dissipated.
She actually has a relatively clear understanding of herself, and can clearly know how much weight she has, what things can be fought for, and what things have no hope at all.
Now she positions herself as a capital actress. As long as she can cooperate with the operation of capital, everything can go smoothly.
As for freedom and enjoying life, these are not what she can imagine now.
On the other hand, Yang Ying is a little "ungrateful".
The leader is also preparing to ring the bell in the Magic City, but after receiving a call from his wife, he has to choose to deal with her first.
After all, Yang Ying is pregnant at this time, and some emotions must be appeased by him personally, otherwise something will go wrong!
However, as soon as he answered the phone, he heard a very angry voice from the other side: "Huang Xiaoming, I have been bullied by someone, do you care about it?"
"What's the situation? Who bullied you?"
Huang Xiaoming frowned slightly, and there was no big emotional fluctuation in his heart.
You know, in the crew of "The Lonely Queen", his wife is like a "retired emperor", who dares to go against her?
Even four or five bodyguards followed her, her personal safety can definitely be guaranteed.
"It's that third-tier actor! He's getting more and more outrageous. I asked my assistant to remind him to be quiet before, but he didn't listen and he got even worse.
And he also ridiculed me in front of the reporter for not being able to remember my lines and said that I was domineering in the crew. Isn't this targeting me on purpose..."
"Alas!"
Huang Xiaoming sighed secretly in his heart and felt helpless.
He did go to find out about this matter, but in fact, it was not as exaggerated as Yang Ying said.
The main reason was that the actor who became popular because of "Love Apartment" was required by the director to keep in shape and control his weight after joining the crew of "The Lonely Queen".
As a man, if you want to keep in shape, you must exercise.
So, with a dedicated attitude, the actor began to exercise day and night.
However, it was a special coincidence that Yang Ying happened to live downstairs from him!
Pregnant women will definitely get irritated if there is any noise, and it just so happens that someone upstairs is exercising day and night, which will naturally affect her.
So, Yang Ying began to hold a grudge and targeted him in various ways to vent her anger.
The other party tolerated and retreated again and again, but what she got in return was not her understanding, but more aggressive exclusion and suppression!
Everyone has a temper, and venting is inevitable.
So, some bad things about Yang Ying in the crew spread out, and after being captured by many media and paparazzi, they were reported with exaggeration.
Even the title of "Miss Digital" that attracted a lot of attention some time ago was tied to Yang Ying by the media, and it was spread in a very realistic way.
As soon as she received the news, Yang Ying was very sure that these black materials about her must have been leaked by the third-tier male actor upstairs.
So, she was so angry that she shouted to ban the other party.
But she herself didn't have the ability and confidence, so she could only ask Huang Xiaoming to implement it.
But the leader has been in the circle for so long, how could he not know what it means to make money with harmony?
If the atmosphere is too stiff, it will be bad for everyone.
Although the other party is not very famous, he still has the support of the agency behind him. How can he be banned with just a few words?
"I have already asked Huace. The filming of this drama will be finished in half a month. You can just pretend that he does not exist. He will not have many scenes anyway."
"No! I can't swallow this breath!"
"Then what do you want to do? It is impossible to ban him in all aspects. He is not a little transparent in the entertainment industry. How can I ban him easily? You think too highly of me."
"Then...then..." Yang Ying thought about it and finally chose to settle for the second best: "It is okay to delete his scenes, right?
Also, I want him to never get big productions in the future. He can only play small roles, supporting roles, and act in web dramas."
Huang Xiaoming frowned slightly, subconsciously feeling that it was not appropriate.
The lesson of deleting the scenes was already big enough, and the subsequent requests were purely unreasonable.
However, just as he was about to continue persuading, La Peikang's voice came from not far away: "Xiao Ming, come quickly, we are going to ring the bell."
"Hey! Okay, Mr. La, I'll be there."
After answering, he approached the crowd and said: "Since you have made a decision, then you can arrange it yourself. I am preparing to ring the bell for listing and have no time to get involved in such things.
But I will help you say hello to Huace. It is not a problem to delete some scenes. As for the rest, you can arrange it yourself..."
"Yeah, okay, that's what I want!"
Yang Ying's tone instantly changed from anger to joy. After all, she is Mrs. Huang now. Isn't her word equivalent to Huang Xiaoming's?
I believe that many film and television companies in the industry will give her this face after receiving her call.
After cutting off the call, Huang Xiaoming put the phone in his pocket and walked quickly to the camp of China Film's listing bell ringing.
However, as he followed the crowd to the venue, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
Is marrying Yang Ying a good thing or a bad thing?
He didn't know why, but he always felt that his popularity had been declining in recent years. He had tried to save it, but was always interrupted by various situations.
Especially in the fan group, there were a lot of people who quit in recent years!
After the century wedding, several big fans who had liked him for more than ten years left, which was obviously not a good thing for his development.
He actually didn't know why he liked Yang Ying so much at the beginning. Looking back, his choice didn't seem to be right, because the other party was obviously not a good partner.
But now Yang Ying is pregnant, and the crystallization of their life is about to be born, and he must take on the responsibilities of a father and husband.
"Well, let's do it this way. I hope she can be more rational and mature after giving birth and the progesterone decreases."
...
When Chen Fei arrived at the company, it was already past 9 o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he saw him enter the room, the secretary came over immediately: "Mr. Chen, Director Ning and Baoqiang are waiting for you in the conference room."
"Okay, I got it."
Feng Chen nodded slightly in response, but his eyes were still focused on the phone.
With the appearance of the latest day's theater box office data announcement, it can be clearly found that the domestic film market has undergone "earth-shaking" changes!
First is "Detective Chinatown 2", which has been released for 10 days. At this time, the box office has reached 2.6 billion yuan, and it is about to rush to 3 billion.
As for other movies, they are much inferior in comparison.
After "Skiptrace" broke through the 800 million mark, the daily new box office fell below 10 million, and the trend was very slow. If nothing unexpected happens, the final landing point should be a little more than 900 million.
In addition to these two movies, the most eye-catching performance was "Grave Robbers' Chronicles"!
"The horror, suspense, and fantasy masterpiece "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" co-produced by LeTV, Shangxing, and Quantum Entertainment, directed by Li Rengang, co-written by Nanpai Sanshu, and starring Jing Boran, Lu Han, and Wang Jingchun, has been released for 4 days and the total box office has been reported to be 537 million yuan!
The film has great potential and seems to be another dark horse after "Tang Detective 2" in the summer vacation!"
Looking around, the media gave this film extremely high evaluation and praise, as well as large-scale coverage.
On the other hand, "Summer Is Here" and "My Best Friend's Wedding" released at the same time were more unlucky, because the box office performance of these two films was extremely poor, and the reputation was not very good, so not many people paid attention to them.
Compared with the performance of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "Legend of the Gods" is simply too miserable.
Because it offended the major theater chains, the film's scheduling rate is pitifully small, only 2.8%!
And the latest day's new box office data is-1.5779 million!
If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will be removed from the shelves in the next two days.
Yu Dong has probably given up on this movie completely, because the latest schedule given to "Legend of the Gods" by Poly Bona Cinema Line is also pitifully small.
When walking to the door of the conference room, Chen Fei finally saw a report on the box office performance of "Ben-Hur" in a corner.
"Ben-Hur, an epic blockbuster film of adventure, drama, war and history, produced by Annapurna Pictures and distributed domestically by Alibaba Pictures, starring Johnny Depp, has been released in China for 11 days, and the total box office has been reported to be 17.448 million.
It is reported that the film was forced to be withdrawn by major theaters yesterday due to its poor box office performance;
According to the announcement released by the Hollywood Daily, the North American box office of "Ben-Hur" only closed at 26.41 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 83.361 million US dollars.
Compared with its production cost of up to 250 million US dollars, the film has already suffered a shocking huge loss! The film company may bear huge debts for this..."
Seeing this, Chen Fei was immediately happy.
"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" lost up to 200 million US dollars, and now "Ben-Hur" has also lost at least 200 million US dollars... I don't know if the proud "Oracle Princess" will collapse because of the huge debt?
"Megan Ellison! You are really, is Silicon Valley not fun? Or is Wall Street boring? Do you have to go to Hollywood to find discomfort?
Now it's good, after a few years of tossing, you have a lot of debts, hahahahaha..."
