It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

The meeting lasted until half past three in the afternoon.

Although Chen Fei sat silently throughout the second half, his "arrogant" words lingered in everyone's hearts all the time!

"When are you going to start filming your movie?" Han Sanping came over, her purpose was self-evident.

"It will be after the Spring Festival. The formal preparations have not started yet. I have other things to be busy with."

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Han Sanping smacked her lips but said nothing more.

He wanted to exchange 30 million for 1 billion. This scene felt magical no matter how he thought about it. Anyway, he felt that it would be difficult to succeed!

At this time, Tong Ju came down from the stage and said, "I heard that your special effects company does pretty good work? If you have any needs, you can ask them and we will try our best to help you solve them."

These words were a little too protective, and many people around him were a little jealous when they heard them.

"Haha, I'd like to thank you for your concern. It's not bad. I don't have any needs at the moment. I will mention it if there is any need."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to achieve great results again. The future of Chinese-language films still lies with you young people."

After patting Chen Fei on the shoulder and encouraging him a few words, Tong Ju took the lead in leaving the field with a group of big guys.

The purpose of today's meeting has been achieved, and everything that needs to be conveyed has been conveyed. What to do next depends on the people below.

After watching the "gentlemen" leave, Chen Fei turned to look at Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Kang Honglei who were waiting for him not far away.

He waved his hand, indicating to the three of them to wait for him outside, and then he quietly walked towards the small door on the other side.

After walking through the corridor, he stopped and looked up at Zhang Yimou, who was waiting here in advance.

"Director Zhang?"

"The failure of "Three Guns" made me have great doubts about my career as a director. Actually, it doesn't mean anything else. I just want you to give me your opinions. After all, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear..."

Zhang Yimou smiled self-deprecatingly, with a stiff expression on his face.

In the past few days, there have been too many controversies about him on the Internet, which even made him wonder whether he was no longer suitable to be a director.

He needs someone to wake him up now, and Chen Fei's appearance... is just right!

"Actually, there's nothing to say." Chen Fei was unambiguous, shrugged, and turned his head directly to his face, "I don't think this movie was made by you. Your presence in it is too low. Didn't express the voice you wanted to make.

If it was taken by someone else, that's fine, but it shouldn't be your work..."

"..."

Zhang Yimou opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

As Chen Fei said, he compromised so much during the filming process that the film no longer felt like his work.

Think about the simplicity and depth of "Red Sorghum", then think about the majesty of "Hero", and look back at "Three Guns"...

What kind of rubbish is this riding horse?

"I understand, thank you for your opinion."

Zhang Yimou nodded, as if he wanted to say something more, but felt it was not appropriate, so he forced himself to smile, turned around and walked out.

At this moment, recalling the many years of cooperation with Zhang Weiping, he was filled with tangles in his heart!

…

Back in the car, Ning Hao and the others didn't ask him where he was going, because most of their attention was on the terrifying "1 billion"!

"Director Chen? Don't scare me. Can our "Beautiful Heart" really break 1 billion in box office?"

Huang Bo looked confused. He had resigned as assistant director, and he would need to advance and retreat together with Chen Fei.

If the media praises him, they will definitely take him along with them, but if it is all ridicule, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

"What? You don't have confidence?"

"No, not at all." Huang Bo shook his head honestly.

Chen Fei smiled slightly, "If you don't work hard, how do you know you won't succeed? And don't look at the investment in this movie, but the cast is not weak at all."

Cast?

Huang Bo was stunned for a moment, and three names subconsciously popped into his mind.

Chen Fei, Zhou Xun, and himself!

Not to mention anything else, just these three names are worth at least 350 million box office.

He and Zhou Xun are worth 100 million each, and Chen Fei is worth at least 150 million.

But even so, there are only 350 million, and 1 billion is completely out of reach. Isn't this bragging a bit too big?

Huang Bo seemed to want to say something more, but Chen Fei ignored him and turned to look at Kang Honglei.

"Lao Kang, when will "The Great Cause of Party Building" be completed?"

"It's almost there. There are just some finishing touches left. It will definitely be finished before the Spring Festival."

After all, this is Kang Honglei's first time directing a movie, so it's normal for the progress to be slower, but Chen Fei has never specifically urged him.

"Okay, you will also follow the whole process of post-production and announcement. Just follow the specifications of the gift film. I have already said hello to China Film."

"OK!"

Kang Honglei nodded, his eyes eager.

If it can be labeled as a "gift film", the box office will be guaranteed, and maybe he can also leave his own name as a director with a billion-dollar box office!

…

The company either led or participated in investing in many film and television dramas last year. After returning to the company, Chen Fei briefly recalled them and made a preliminary plan in his mind.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is about to be completed, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is in post-production, "Embroidered Spring Knife", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" are being filmed, "Painted Skin 2" is about to start shooting, "Heart" "Flowers on the Road" is in preparation...

Overall, film production and filming have never stopped and have basically stabilized within a normal output range.

As for TV series, the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Gong Lock Heart Jade" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin" are still going on in an orderly manner, and there are no problems.

Wang Shiliang and Li Yang are idle, and they don't have much work at hand yet.

"The response to "Snow Leopard" was pretty good last year. If not a whole anti-war drama were released, and then there would be domestic animation..."

Boom, boom, boom!

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Chen Fei's thoughts.

"Enter!"

He raised his head and looked out the door with curiosity.

The old saying makes sense, "If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there." The person walking in from the door was Li Yang, who Chen Fei had just thought about in his heart.

The cartoon "The Adventures of Li Xianli" has a very high click-through rate on Tudou.com, and Chen Fei will pay special attention to it occasionally when he has time.

Compared with Yang Yu's "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon", Li Yang's level is obviously higher, especially the processing of animation details is very good.

At present, the reason why there is a gap between the two involves many aspects and cannot be generalized.

From an objective point of view, the level of these two people is very good. If they are trained well, they will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of domestic animation!

"Mr. Chen, I brought you an alumnus who is also from Nortel."

Li Yang greeted Chen Fei eagerly as soon as he entered the door, and introduced the tall, thin young man following him to Chen Fei.

Alumni?

Looking at that very familiar face, Chen Fei was stunned for a moment.

"His name is Guo Fan. He was admitted to Nortel last year and is a graduate student majoring in management..."

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Guo Fan quickly took two steps forward and reached out his hand.

Although Chen Fei himself was actually a few years younger than him, he didn't dare to look down on him at all and showed great respect.

The director in front of me is the director who made the masterpiece "Inception" and is also globally recognized as the "Father of New 3D". How can a little Karami like him compare?

"Ah hello……"

After staring at Guo Fan for a long time, Chen Fei reacted belatedly.

He really didn't expect that the later "Father of Domestic Science Fiction Films" would look like this now, with his green face looking like an ordinary male!

After arriving at the reception area and chatting briefly, Chen Fei finally understood why Guo Fan and Li Yang appeared in his office.

"You mean that you watched "The Adventures of Li Xianli" and thought it was suitable for adapting into a live-action movie, so you wrote a script?"

"Deal! I have the script with me today. You can take a look."

Guo Fan quickly opened his backpack and took out the adapted script.

Chen Fei reached out to take it, opened it to himself, and read it word by word.

Seeing this situation, the two people next to them glanced at each other subconsciously, with their legs together and their bodies straightened...

They were already getting nervous.

Adapting an animated short film into a live-action film has never happened before in China.

The palms of the two people even started to sweat now, and they couldn't help but start thinking wildly, what if Fade didn't agree...

In just fifteen minutes, it felt like a lifetime ago!

"not bad."

Um! ?

Hearing Chen Fei's comments, the two of them suddenly widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

not bad!

He said it was not bad!

Guo Fan swallowed unconsciously and asked tentatively: "Do you think it is possible for this script of mine to be made into a movie?"

Chen Fei looked at him with a smile, "You want to take pictures?"

"think!"

"Do you want to shoot alone?"

"I definitely can't do it by myself. I don't have the ability now, but I can shoot with Li Yang. The two of us cobblers can definitely beat half of Zhuge Liang."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Fei immediately laughed. This guy's emotional intelligence is indeed high enough. No wonder he can "successfully beg for help" many times.

"Continue to perfect this script, and then give it to Mr. Su and ask him to send it to the Film Bureau for review. All the pre-, mid- and post-stage investments are covered by Feiyue Film and Television, but you must sign a director's contract..."

"This is no problem, thank you Mr. Chen for your approval!"

Guo Fan looked overjoyed and could not suppress the smile on his face.

No one in the industry knows that as long as you join Feiyue Film and Television, you are on the train to "become famous".

Especially for students majoring in directing, countless people submit their resumes to Feiyue Film and Television every day just to get a job opportunity.

However, although there are many radishes, the pits are fixed.

Most of the resumes that were submitted ended up in the dark, with no news or even any feedback!

And he, Guo Fan, just came to Feiyue Film and Television with the script, and got the opportunity to sign a contract, and also got an investment for his debut film!

"This is my strength. I was born for the career of directing!"

Standing at the door of Feiyue Film and Television Building, Guo Fan looked up to the sky and smiled, quite full of ambition and ambition of "hiding a dragon into the abyss and soaring into the sky".

…

The film bureau did not deliberately conceal the news, so Chen Fei's remarks were naturally exposed by the media.

"Special effects technology, high-quality stories, and combating piracy and infringement are the keys to high box office."

"Small-budget movies may not have no market. Only capable and high-level pursuit is effective."

"I can make a movie with 30 million yuan and win at least 1 billion movie box office..."

Once these remarks were announced, the response online was overwhelming!

Especially on Weibo, fans have found Chen Fei's account one after another and left crazy messages under his latest Weibo post.

"Director Chen is awesome. What he said is so domineering!"

"Hahaha, fighting a low-budget comedy again? Oh, I'll go, I get excited just thinking about it. I have to watch "Crazy Stone" again."

"One billion? I believe this! "Inception" is more than 1.5 billion. Director Chen's strength is beyond doubt."

"When will it start shooting? When will it be finished? When will it be released? I can't wait anymore?"

…

…

It is approaching the end of January, and the popularity of the Lunar New Year movie is still continuing. "Avatar" has been gaining momentum all the way, trampling all the Chinese-language movies under its feet and frantically rubbing against it.

In terms of box office, it has exceeded 800 million yuan at this time, and the 1 billion mark is very close!

As for Chen Long's "Zodiac", it officially completed its key period last night, and the mainland box office revenue was fixed at 550 million.

This result is beyond everyone’s expectation!

No one expected that Chen Long would officially enter the ranks of directors in the 500 million box office club through this movie!

In fact, at the beginning, according to the analysis of professionals, "Zodiac" was considered a success if it had a box office revenue of 400 million.

But what I never expected was that Chen Long's international influence prompted the box office to complete another huge leap at the last minute!

The development of events can be said to be very bizarre...

As "Zodiac" became a hit around the world, the head of the French Pinault family was so shocked after watching the film that they decided to return the "rat heads" and "rabbit heads" to China free of charge.

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a huge shock in the country!

Making a movie actually brought back two national treasures that were living abroad. This influence even far exceeds the ordinary diplomatic means!

Domestic movie fans were greatly encouraged and decided to continue to support "Zodiac", which unexpectedly pushed the box office to 550 million yuan!

What's even more explosive is that the film's performance in overseas markets has also been extremely impressive, surpassing "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Mulan" one after another, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film in the world!

The achievement of US$260 million once again confirmed Chen Long's strength and brought him back into the sights of major Hollywood film companies.

"Succeeded, hahaha, I finally succeeded! I'm back in Hollywood!"

On the phone, Chen Long smiled quite boldly, and he had the feeling that "a hero is not old yet, but he is still going strong as he grows older".

"Haha, congratulations. Remember to bring out all the good wine during the celebration banquet."

"That's a must! I'm going to have a cruise party! Will you come?"

"Forget the cruise party, I have other things to do and don't have time to go..."

While chatting with Chen Long on the phone, Chen Fei locked his eyes on the TV.

At this time, the recently popular costume drama "Myth" was playing inside.

Episode 8 was playing now, and after watching the scene of Lu Su's death, Chen Fei cut the channel without hesitation.

There is no need to watch the following ones. The 42 episodes of "Gao Yao's Biography" are certainly very good, but the other plots are really disgusting. That is, Hu Ge's health bar is relatively thick. If it were played by another actor, he would definitely be able to do it. Being sprayed into depression!

…

Time flies and comes to the end of January. Chen Fei returns to Los Angeles on a private plane and attends the premiere of "Kung Fu Panda 2".

At the same time, the first Chinese Film "Golden Broom" Award Ceremony was successfully held in BJSOHO Shangdu.

The awards ceremony opened with "Dance of the Golden Broom" performed by young dancer Xia Yu and others. Pan Jie, a famous actor from a film family, served as the host. More than 300 spectators gathered at the scene!

Singers He Yi and Huang Wenwen sang for the awards. Actors Yi Chunde and Huang Lu, famous scholar Cui Weiping, directors Li Yu, Sheng Zhiming, famous critic Xie Xizhang, and producer Fang Ji spoke at the award ceremony.

Director Wang Xiaoshuai personally called the award ceremony to express his support for the award...

The award results were not much different from previous nominations.

The most disappointing films: "Three Shots", "The Tomb" and "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》

The most disappointing directors: Zhang Yimou "Three Guns", Lu Chuan "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》

The Most Disappointing Actor: Xiao Shen Yang in "Three Guns"

The most disappointing heroine: Lin Chiling in "Chilling"

Although no winner came to receive the award during the entire awarding process, afterward, the organizing committee stated that it would mail the trophy (broom model) and award certificate to all the winners.

Even though he was in Los Angeles, Chen Fei could still feel the lively atmosphere in the mainland!

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Yimou was like a diligent old farmer. Although he was ridiculed, he did not make any positive response. He only announced that "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has been officially completed and will be released. to subsequent production.

This response felt quite like "making a big difference", and actually won Lao Mouzi a lot of praise.

Many fans highly praised his return to literary films and said that this was a wise move!

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, was a little too excited and started going crazy on the Internet, angrily criticizing the organizers of the Golden Broom Awards for their shameless behavior.

This confrontation started a long-lasting scolding war again!

As the second animated film in the "Kung Fu Panda" series, and it is also a 3D version, its popularity in North America will naturally not be too low.

On the day the movie was released, various media, newspapers, and film critics rushed to issue press releases.

"Entertainment Weekly", a subsidiary of Time Warner, gave the film a high rating of B+ and reviewed the film with keywords that tend to be positive, such as 'wonderful', 'exciting', 'humorous', 'enjoyable', and 'moving'. Express, think this is a very successful sequel animated movie!

The Arizona Republic gave the film four stars and published a high-quality film review article:

"As another animated film from Volton Pictures, "Kung Fu Panda 2" contributes wonderful group performances and a good balance between action and comedy. In addition, the film makes people hold their breath. In addition to the plot, there are also a lot of imaginative and fun farces in it, and overall it’s great!”

Some media even commented: "This film is really powerful, full of smart and exciting action scenes.

Abao's story is very touching, better than expected!

All in all, this is an entertaining movie suitable for family viewing. If your little ones want to watch it, take them there, I guarantee they will enjoy it! "

…

Amid many positive reviews, the three-day box office of "Kung Fu Panda 2" in its first weekend has been released.

$79.35 million!

This figure is even 15 million US dollars more than the first one. There is no doubt that its success will be inevitable!

However... on the other side, the CEOs of Disney, Pixar Animation Studios, Illumination Entertainment Animation Studios and other companies that focus on animated films took a breath.

2010 has just begun, and Waltons Pictures has made a good start with "Kung Fu Panda 2", which puts their pressure on them instantly!

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the animated film launched by your own company failed?
