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

There are no blockbusters in Hollywood in early April that are particularly worthy of attention. The main ones are the continuation of March.

Warner Bros. released "Clash of the Titans", which followed the fantasy action route and cost a full US$125 million.

Compared with those B-category productions of the same period, the box office performance was pretty good, but the reviews online were mixed.

Many people feel that there is no need to make a 3D version of this movie because the story itself is not attractive enough and it will only make people more tired.

Adhering to the mentality of not underestimating his opponents, Chen Fei went to watch the movie with Spielberg and Woody Allen, who was doing post-production work on "The Twilight Saga 5".

After 106 minutes ended, the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment.

Spielberg bluntly said, "If you look at "Clash of the Titans" by the standards of a Hollywood epic film, there are simply too many places where it doesn't meet the standards!"

Chen Fei smiled and agreed: "The Chinese title of the film "War of the Gods" should actually be called "The War of Gods and Humans" or "The War of Humans and Monsters"."

The story of the movie is very simple. A group of people fight while walking, and then the weapons are continuously upgraded and monsters appear one by one.

Although there are some exciting plots in the middle, it has nothing to do with the grandeur of the war.

There are many characters in the film, but most of them can only be called "cannon fodder."

Only the male protagonist Perseus has some inner drama, which brings out the themes of "identity" and "growth".

However, he was resolute at first, but soon made peace with his biological father Zeus. As a result, his "identity" became blurred again, and his "growth" became insincere.

The intriguing ancient sea monster and the extremely arrogant Hades were "instantly killed" by Perseus in the climax of the film. The plot is really anticlimactic and laughable.

"The 3D effect of this movie is really poor. The scenes are dark and the three-dimensional effect is extremely poor..."

Mr. Woody Allen's face turned a little pale. He was a little dizzy with 3D, and he almost vomited after watching this movie.

Chen Fei shrugged and gave the answer, "Obviously, this movie was shot using 2D technology. It should be converted by a certain company, and the cost is not high, so the effect is very poor."

The three soon lost interest in the film, not feeling it worthy of their rival.

The post-production period for "The Hunger Games" has ended, and Natasha once again contacted the theater to find a suitable schedule.

There were still a few days before the filming of "The Hunt" started. Chen Fei was not idle. Instead, he went to Marvel to review the second season of "Game of Thrones" and "Spartacus: Blood and... The film effect of "Sand".

The final result did not disappoint him. High investment can not only bring excellent picture effects, but also bring higher profits!

"This is the script for the third season of Game of Thrones and Spartacus: Vengeance. Find a suitable time and shoot them both."

After the review of the finished film was completed, Chen Fei once again took out two scripts and handed them to Isaac Perlmutter.

"Ok, I will contact the actor and director."

Regarding these two scripts, Isaac Perlmutter did not have too many surprises. An excellent TV series naturally needs to be continuously released with sequels.

After leaving Marvel Entertainment, Chen Fei came to Marvel Studios again.

The premiere of "How to Train Your Dragon" is approaching, which also means the release date of "Iron Man 2" is approaching.

Kevin Feige attaches great importance to this movie. After all, the previous movie earned a total box office of 800 million U.S. dollars, and the audience's expectations for the sequel are extremely high!

It is no exaggeration to say that Marvel's ability to turn around depends on the "Iron Man" series, so it must be cautious.

"Fei, the preparations for "Avengers" are almost over. All the actors' contracts have been signed. All that's left is the construction of the studio. When are you going to start shooting?"

"Wait a little longer. After "Iron Man 2", "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​are all successfully released, we will start the filming plan of "Avengers", which will create a 1+1+1\u003e3 Effect."

"Ok, I understand."

Kevin Feige nodded, but he felt a little confused in his heart.

From Chen Fei's tone, he can tell that he attaches great importance to "Avengers"!

But Kevin Feige himself doesn’t actually have much confidence. Is it possible to combine so many superheroes together and create a hodgepodge?

Usually, in the Hollywood movie system, the personal charm of the protagonist is amplified, and other characters appear in a way to "set off the protagonist."

Whether they are the villain or the second male lead, their role is to help the protagonist win the love of the audience.

But "Avengers" is different. It brings together "Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor", "Hulk", "Black Widow", "Hawkeye" and other superheroes. .

The question then becomes, which of these people should take the lead?

Kevin Feige couldn't figure it out, but Chen Fei was very confident, which made him more and more curious. Is there a "mystery" here that he couldn't understand?

…

…

Compared with the mediocre ones in Hollywood, the mainland ones are quite exciting, with a kind of "you sing and I'll appear on stage" kind of situation.

"See You in Heaven", box office 7.3 million, pounce!

"Moon Hennessy", box office 17.541 million, pounce!

"Future Police", box office 41.35 million, go!

After all, the first two are just literary films, and it is actually normal for them to be rejected by the public. As long as the fans' evaluation is high enough, they will definitely not lose much money if they sell the copyright.

But "Future Police" directed by Wang Jing and starring Liu Dehua, Xu Jiao, Fan Shaohuang and others left people speechless.

An investment of 200 million made another bad movie!

The Internet is full of jeers:

"I had good expectations for the movie, but after watching it I was speechless. It's a bad movie, and the so-called high-tech is shoddy. Just remember that Andy's daughter in the movie is a robot."

"After watching it, I don't want to watch any more Andy Lau movies..."

"What the hell! Sun! Can Wang Jing beg to let Liu Dehua go?"

"This horse riding is a domestic science fiction film? Is it just like this? And you still need to invest 200 million? Are you going to play it?"

"These domestic directors, when you are making science fiction, can you ask some director Chen for advice? Can you watch "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"? This is a science fiction blockbuster!"

Chen Fei found that many people commented on his Weibo, asking him to make a serious domestic science fiction film to set an example for other directors.

Even Han Sanping called, and the first thing she said was, "When are you going to shoot your science fiction movie?"

"Future Police" is invested by China Film Group Corporation, and Mr. San is having a big headache now, and the internal pressure is rising!

200 million! Blood loss!

In the past few years, almost all the money he made from investing in Hollywood movies was lost to these bad mainland movies. The bureau was already a little dissatisfied with him, and he had to make up for it quickly.

"I don't have time right now, but I can send the script for review first."

Ni Xuelin had already revised the script, and Chen Fei read it over specifically, and the revision was very good.

"Okay, please hurry up. If not, I can help you deliver it?"

"Hey? Are you in such a hurry?"

"I don't want to either, but about "Future Police", alas, I won't mention it. Talking about it too much will make me cry."

"Haha, okay, then I'll contact the company now and ask them to send the script for review first."

…

The review of the script for "Gravity" was a green light. It was sent in on the first day and passed on the second day!

When the film bureau announced the news about the script, the media were like cats that smelled fishy smell, and they rushed to join in one after another.

In less than half an hour, the news had spread to many websites.

"The latest movie information, a new script from Feiyue Film and Television is coming, the movie title: "Gravity"!"

""Gravity", screenwriter: Chen Fei, produced by: Feiyue Pictures, China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda... a space science fiction thriller and disaster movie, a pure science fiction masterpiece."

"According to first-hand inside information, the investment cost is as high as hundreds of millions..."

The news spread quickly, and many film and television production companies eagerly joined in to get some share.

"We will invest as much as you say, there is no shortage of money..."

Galloping Horse and Mr. Jia from LeTV tried to get in by waving banknotes.

"I'm sorry, the share allocation has ended. There will be another chance next time."

Chen Fei refused simply.

money?

This thing is said as if no one has it. Among these investors, which one is not richer and more prestigious than Galloping Horse and LeTV?

The most important thing is that these companies have theater backgrounds behind them. When the movie is released in the future, they can provide a lot of support in scheduling.

At this stage, even Huayi, Guangying, etc. have no chance to enter.

If you don’t have a theater background, don’t join in on this kind of blockbuster movie with an investment of over 100 million.

Very realistic! But it’s also normal!

Many actors I knew well also called, and those who thought they didn't have a good relationship sent text messages or asked someone to ask.

"Brother Hua, save your schedule, we will be in this movie."

"Ouch! Okay, okay! No problem! Absolutely no problem. When you say when to shoot, I will be there immediately!"

Among the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, Andy Lau is the most famous and the most popular, but for some reason, he just can't handle the box office.

The movies he starred in were hit the market again and again, and the capital market no longer had confidence in him.

But if instead of starring, he appears as a supporting actor, then he will receive a lot of praise and win a lot of applause.

Very suspenseful, but also very helpless.

Therefore, Liu Dehua was very willing to accept Chen Fei's invitation.

He is even prepared to reduce his salary. As long as the movie can be made and it can bring back a wave of blood, anything is easy!

Time is marching forward again. When the time comes to mid-April, a domestic film has caused quite a stir in the mainland, and even briefly affected Hollywood!

Movie title: "Du Lala's Promotion"

Xu Jinglei is a ruthless character, and her rank is much higher than Zhang Jingchu's.

Along the way, the "noble person" behind her was rushing up in waves, almost forcefully promoting her to a high position!

The reason why it will affect Hollywood is that the producers of "Du Lala's Promotion" actually invited top Hollywood actors who have worked on films such as "Sex and the City", "The Devil Wears Prada", and "Ugly Betty" Styling designer Tricia Field was sent to do the overall costume design.

In Xu Jinglei's words, the "Du Lala" she plays in the play will wear more than 50 costumes in the 105-minute movie.

And her target was none other than Anne Hathaway!

Chen Fei didn't know how domestic movie fans would evaluate it. Anyway, he personally thought it was very ridiculous.

This horse riding can already be described as "touching porcelain"!

Today happens to be the moment when "The Hunt" starts shooting, and Anne Hathaway also came to the set. She will play Matt Damon's new girlfriend after his divorce, which can be regarded as a "friendly guest appearance."

When she auditioned for "The Hunger Games" before, she failed to successfully collaborate with Chen Fei because she had to film "Alice in Wonderland".

This time, when "Hunting" officially entered the preparation period, she took the initiative to call and expressed that she wanted to get a chance to cooperate, so Chen Fei arranged such a guest role for her.

"Today's scene does not require you to appear. If you have other work, you can go to work first."

"Ok." Anne Hathaway nodded, but did not leave. "I don't have any other movie schedules in the near future, so I decided to come here to study for a while."

"Okay, that's up to you."

Fade shrugged and quickly drew his attention away from her, focusing instead on Matt Damon.

As the week went by, he had indeed lost a lot of weight.

The stylist paired him with black-rimmed glasses, which gave him a more artistic temperament. Coupled with the stubble sprouting from his chin, the image of a middle-aged male teacher appeared in the camera.

"Fei? How about this look?"

"Excellent." Chen Fei nodded, and then quickly noticed that he didn't seem to bring a script when he came today?

"One week is enough for me to memorize all the lines."

Matt Damon grinned slightly, showing a "good old guy" look.

He is a professional actor, not only with superb acting skills, but also with very professional interpretation of lines.

What's more, memorizing lines is a necessary skill for every actor. Hollywood will not allow actors to say "123" on the set. This is simply a shame for the profession of actors!

Leonardo DiCaprio also came to the set today, bringing his new Victoria's Secret girlfriend with him.

After "Inception" ended, he stopped taking roles for the time being, and no crew approached him. After all, he was too "expensive".

"Fei, I happen to be free lately, how about I be your assistant director?"

"Is it free?" Chen Fei glanced at him, and was really surprised by his sudden proposal.

You put a good young model aside and want to be an assistant director?

Are you sick?

"Ok, it's free..." Xiao Lizi was quite helpless, but then added, "The crew has to take care of the food, right?"

"That's no problem, I'll take care of the lunch box." Chen Fei patted his chest with a rather generous look on his face.

Leonardo: "..."

The young model girlfriend and Anne Hathaway on the side listened to the conversation between the two, covering their mouths and giggling happily.

The crew's equipment, props, scenes, etc. were quickly ready.

"Action!"

With Chen Fei's order, "Hunting" is officially launched!

The news spread quickly, and in the afternoon of the same day, a press release appeared on the domestic film and television consulting network.

"Director Chen Fei's new film has started shooting. The film is called "Hunting". The main actors are: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, etc. Leonardo is here to support!"

"Realistic themes, for prizes..."

"We'll see."

…

If it is those small directors, the movie will naturally not be too popular when it starts shooting.

But Chen Fei is different. Who allowed him to win the Golden Bear and the Palme d'Or one after another? This is one of the few in the entire film history!

Not long after "Hunting" was launched here, the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival all sent him invitations.

Because the goal was very clear, Chen Fei responded directly to Berlin and Cannes without thinking too much, expressing his gratitude and explaining the reason why he couldn't go.

He has won both the Golden Bear and the Golden Palm, and this time he went straight to the Golden Lion!

On the other hand, Venice was very happy. After seeing Chen Fei's email reply, the organizer even sent someone in person.

"Fei, you can shoot with peace of mind and don't be afraid of the impact of time. Even if you accidentally miss the time for submission for review, we will open a temporary review channel for you..."

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Fei silently accepted this "gift".

At this moment, he suddenly felt what it means to be treated like a great director!

The organizer of the Venice Film Festival personally comes to your door and offers to "open the back door" for you. Can you bear this?

Spielberg attaches as much importance to "How to Train Your Dragon" as to "Transformers".

No, the movie was released on the 23rd, and he sent out invitations to the premiere several days in advance, which caused a lot of heated discussion in Hollywood.

"'How to Train Your Dragon'? The film department is involved in the animation department's business? What is Spielberg planning?"

Pixar Animation Division CEO John Lasseter looked at the invitation in his hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

On the other side, Chris Meledandri, CEO of Illumination Entertainment, also received the invitation letter. Looking at the words "How to Train Your Dragon" on it, he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

"Despicable Me" will be officially released in Hollywood in July. As Illumination Entertainment's first animated film after its establishment, he has great expectations!

Now the DreamWorks film department has released "How to Train Your Dragon". Although it has nothing to do with "Despicable Me", he is still very curious.

"They are all originals. I wonder who will have a higher box office? Is it more popular?"

At the same time, in addition to Pixar, Illumination Entertainment, Universal Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Disney and other companies, Spielberg also sent a premiere invitation letter to the DreamWorks Animation department.

As the CEO of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg felt inexplicably nervous after receiving the invitation.

The release dates of "Shrek 4" and "How to Train Your Dragon" overlap, and both movies are also animated movies, which means that there will inevitably be a box office battle between the two parties!

They were once close partners, but now they have become head-on opponents...

Jeffrey Katzenberg has very mixed emotions!

Especially when he recalled the idea that Spielberg had vaguely proposed to him on the phone a few days ago, his mind was even more confused.

"DreamWorks Animation...are they really going to sell themselves to Walt Disney Pictures?"
