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

Chapter 172 "No Man's Land" is released, and the anchor point between literary dramas and high box office is broken!

Arriving at a maid restaurant, the four of them sat down and started ordering.

The two girls looked around curiously, discussing which waiter's clothes looked better. Hu Ge sat solemnly, but his eyes were a little squinting.

"Watch it if you want. Why are you pretending to be a gentleman?" Chen Fei bumped his arm with a smirk on his face.

"Ahem. Actually, I don't want to see it, I'm just curious." Hu Ge's face turned red, still a little shy.

The food was served quickly, and the hot and sexy maids stood on both sides, serving them very attentively, serving tea and water with meticulous care.

Chen Fei was amazed, no wonder there are always people shouting that they want to find a Japanese girlfriend.

Who doesn't want to be served by others?
Compared to the shy Hu Ge, he was much more generous, chatting with the young lady next to him while eating.

He didn't talk about any very personal issues. After all, there were two girls sitting in front of him. He just casually asked if there were any popular movies in Japan recently.

It is no exaggeration to say that the director of Little Days is extremely accurate in this aspect of literary films!
At the Cannes Film Festival, they won the Palme d'Or award again and again. They can almost be said to be the best in Asia!
Especially family ethics dramas, they seem to have a very unique understanding of this aspect.

Above the well, below the well, beside the field, on the mountain, up and down, in the forest...

Chen Fei has no idea what the origin of these surnames is. Perhaps this is also a reflection of family ethics. He only hopes that they can remain uncoded.

It's a pity to say that.

Because he was staying in a hotel, he didn't meet the neighbor's wife who got up to take out the trash in the morning, nor did he meet the twin sisters who loved studying, nor did he meet the female staff dressed as an office worker who came to borrow the bathroom.

Overall, this trip to Japan was not very fun.

If you have time next time, you must buy a villa by yourself and become a landlord who loves his tenants.

"Hey? By the way, Chen Fei, hasn't the "No Man's Land" you filmed been released in China? How was the box office?"

The sudden sound in his ears drew Chen Fei's attention away from the maid.

His eyes were fixed on Liu Yifei, and he was a little surprised, ""No Man's Land" is released?"

"You do not know?"

"I didn't pay attention!"

Chen Fei quickly took out his cell phone and opened the calendar. As expected, today happened to be May [-]st, which was also the time when "No Man's Land" was released.

He quickly called Han Sanping.

This movie was promoted by China Film Group Corporation, so why didn’t there be any trust even after it was released?

...

There are no strong competitors in the film market in May. There is only one imported film, "Star Wars: Episode III", which is still ranked No. 19.

Therefore, as the Golden Bear Award-winning film at the Berlin Film Festival, "No Man's Land" still attracts a lot of attention.

Previously, many movie fans on major portals and forums have made predictions and discussed how much the final box office of this movie will be.

Unfortunately, even the boldest prediction is only 3500 million.

Awards and box office cannot go hand in hand. This is already the inherent impression that movie fans have on literary and artistic feature films.

Previously, "Peacock", which won the Silver Bear Award, had a final box office of 1050 million, which further confirmed this fact.

However, with the recent news that Chen Fei went to Hollywood to co-direct Super 3 with Universal Pictures, served as the producer of "Get Out", and co-produced "Ip Man" with Ying Huang, he has been The popularity in the country has always been high.

Especially yesterday, the portal broke the news that Li Lianjie, Chen Long, and Zhou Xingchi rushed to Japan to guest star in Super 3 to support Chen Fei.

For a time, there was an uproar in the domestic film and television circles!

Many "critics" have spoken in newspapers and periodicals, saying that Chen Fei is already a success in Hollywood!
Chen Fei also read these news on the portal, but most of them were swept by and he didn't pay much attention.

Is Hollywood set for the future?
It’s too early to say this. Without one or two Golden Globes, Saturn Awards, and Oscars, he is not considered a serious Hollywood director at all.

And if you want to be successful in Hollywood, in addition to awards, movie box office is also the key.

According to the current Hollywood film market, a box office of [-] million US dollars can be regarded as a ticket to the threshold of "big director". If you want to truly "the trend is established", you must at least direct three movies with a box office of [-] million US dollars.

As for the Golden Bear Award, it can only be regarded as his ticket to Hollywood.

Box office is the foundation for a director to truly establish himself!

The call was quickly connected, but Han Sanping's voice was a little unclear, "Did you say "No Man's Land"? I didn't pay attention to it. I left it to the Publicity and Development Department. The box office will be known tomorrow morning, sorry. urgent.

It's just a literary drama, and it probably won't get too high a box office, so just keep busy. "

The sound over there was a bit noisy, there was probably another party going on.

After a brief chat, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

Listening to the news, it seems that "The Promise" has been completed and a wrapping party is being held.

I just hope that Brother Chen Kai's laughter can continue until the "Steamed Bun Murder Case" appears.

After eating and walking around the neighborhood again, the two girls couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Yifei whispered, "They wear so little and are so exposed, aren't they shy?"

Liu Shishi echoed in a low voice from the side: "This is how people work. I heard from my friends that standing at the door and inviting guests is not that bad, but there are even more so-called things inside."

"Naked?"

"more or less……"

Liu Yifei covered her mouth in surprise and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her.

Hu Ge was still there looking around, with an expression of surprise on his face from time to time, and even dragging Chen Fei to look with him.

She felt a little uncomfortable for no reason and quickened her pace, "Let's go back. It's getting late. I'm a little sleepy and want to rest."

"I'll call a car."

Hu Ge withdrew his gaze and returned to his serious look again.

It was already getting late when we returned to the hotel. Mother Liu had been waiting in the lobby. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing several people return safely.

"Try not to run too far at night from now on. This is not the country after all. If anything happens, we will be in trouble."

"I know, Mom." Liu Yifei responded with a smile.

"Where did you go to play?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around the city. It's quite busy here at night."

After parting with a few people, Chen Fei returned to the room.

The filming of Super 3 is not over yet, but there is not much follow-up content. It will be completed in more than half a month at most.

After sleeping all day during the day and unable to sleep at night, he simply turned on the computer and started writing a shooting plan for tomorrow.

...

At six o'clock the next morning, Chen Fei was awakened from his sleep by a rapid ringing of the phone.

I grabbed my phone and took a look, and sure enough, it was Han Sanping calling.

"Chen Fei? Tell me honestly, is this movie in the style of a literary drama or a commercial film?"

"Ah?" Chen Fei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be a little confused, "Why did Mr. Han say this?"

As he spoke, he pulled up the pillow and put it behind him, preparing to wake up first.

Han Sanping did not talk to him and said directly: "The box office of "No Man's Land" is out. Can you guess what the box office of this movie is?"

"1000?"

"wrong."

"More or less?"

"not enough!"

good guy?
1000 million less?
In an instant, the sleepiness in Chen Fei's mind disappeared without a trace, replaced by an increasingly surprised emotion.

"Don't be too pretentious. How much is it specifically?"

Han Sanping took a deep breath and said slowly: "Because there are no blockbuster movies during this May Day period, I will directly shoot the maximum amount of this movie.

I thought I could earn a little bit, but guess what?The first-day box office nationwide reached 2150 million!
If nothing else happens, this is another masterpiece with a box office of over [-] million. You kid has truly achieved a double harvest of box office and awards! "

No wonder Han Sanping was so excited.

You know, almost no publicity funds were invested in the movie "No Man's Land", and the exposure was entirely supported by Chen Fei alone.

Winning the Golden Bear Award has indeed attracted a lot of attention to this film, but everyone knows that this kind of literary and artistic drama film usually has a "preaching" meaning, so few people are willing to watch this type of film. Film.

But "No Man's Land" breaks this situation!
Han Sanping only found out after she sobered up that the movie's attendance rate was very high, and many fans went to watch it with critical thoughts.

They all want to know what kind of movie can actually make this 21-year-old young director win the Golden Bear in one fell swoop?
And after reading it, everyone was shocked!

This movie... seems to be very different from the traditional literary and artistic drama film!

Chen Fei went to the forum to read the comments from fans.

Without exception, many people were full of praise after watching it.

"It's a very shocking movie. This is the first time I've seen this type of movie. Mad, there's not a single good person in it!"

"No wonder the movie is called "No Man's Land". It turns out that at the end, none of the actors were alive!"

"Through this movie, I finally understood that if people are pushed to a certain level, they can really do anything."

"I suddenly thought of a previous interview by Lu Chuan. He said that he was the best in shaping the background of No Man's Land, but now it seems that he is completely rubbish!"

"Brothers upstairs, don't make trouble. How can "Kekexili" compare with "No Man's Land"? The former only has two consolation prizes, while the latter won a golden bear."

"Pfft... Brothers, I need to tell you some news. Lu Chuan also applied for the Berlin Film Festival, but was rejected during the preliminary stage."

"I still remember that guy held several press conferences just to blackmail Director Chen. Now it's better to slap him in the face!"

"..."

The dividends of the Internet era have begun to show. The reputation of "No Man's Land" has fermented very quickly, and it soon spread throughout the film and television industry.A drama film that has suddenly emerged in the ranks of literary and artistic films by showing the "darkness and distortion of human nature"!
"No Man's Land" breaks the anchor between literary dramas and high box office!

All of a sudden, major entertainment newspapers were busy, and Chen Fei's name was everywhere on every news page.

At the same time, even the copyright sales of this movie were revealed.

It sold for US$2000 million in North America and a total of US$1000 million in other regions.

You know, the investment in this movie was only 450 million, but it actually sold for 3000 million US dollars!
53 times the rate of return!
This is just copyright!

Judging from the current box office results, there is no problem with the domestic box office exceeding [-] million.

Even if the cost is less, this movie can at least bring Chen Fei a full [-] times profit rate, and it also breaks the anchor point between "literary drama films and high box office"...

For a time, the main pages of major entertainment news were full of words such as "genius", "creating miracles", and "unprecedented".

Some reporters even flew directly to Japan and blocked the door of the Super 3 crew, wanting to interview Chen Fei.

Romulo was a little confused at first. Why were all these Chinese reporters rushing over?

But when he heard that the reason for their coming was that the Golden Bear film "No Man's Land" was a hit in China, he immediately became happy.

"Fei and I have negotiated the copyright cooperation for this film. Currently, Universal Pictures is adapting the script and preparing to remake it in the style of a Hollywood western.

This is a very good movie, it fits the style of a western very well, and Fei's writing ability is one of the few in Hollywood..."

After this wave of praise spread back to China, it made headlines again.

[Breaking news: The North American rights to "No Man's Land" were purchased by Universal Pictures! 】

[Great news, the North American adaptation of "No Man's Land" is in progress. 】

[Universal Pictures producer Romulo said that Director Chen’s screenwriting skills are among the top ten in Hollywood! 】

Even though Chen Feiren was not in the country, various news pushed him to the "sacred altar".

After the May Day seven-day holiday, China Film released the latest data.

The total box office of "No Man's Land" in seven days is 2000 million!

In an instant, the entire film and television industry was in shock again!
In addition to "Buried Alive", this is Chen Fei's third movie with a box office of over [-] million.

And so far, he has won numerous awards!
Moreover, the two films "On the Road" and "Ip Man", which he participated in writing and investing in, are currently in intensive filming...

News soon spread that Chen Fei will officially compete in the Lunar New Year season this time and compete head-on with Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and others.

The reporters who were not too concerned about the excitement went to Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai respectively and asked them whether they would feel nervous when faced with the strong pursuit of their juniors.

Lao Mouzi ignored it and went straight into the editing room, refusing to be interviewed at all.

However, he called Chen Fei privately to congratulate him.

Brother Chen Kai is much more interesting.

Facing reporters' questions, he said with a smile: "It is a good thing for young people to be courageous. I am very much looking forward to seeing director Xiao Chen's new movie.

As for the tension?This does not exist at all. "The Promise" is a masterpiece with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is a blockbuster that is different from all previous movie styles. Please stay tuned. This movie will definitely give you a different shock. ! "

When Chen Fei saw this interview, he almost went crazy with joy.

A blockbuster indeed.

The Steamed Bun Murder Case, a corpse-level blockbuster!
The kind that is beyond shocking!

...

As time goes by, the filming of Super 3 is finally coming to an end.

May is coming to an end, and Star Wars Episode III has officially been released in major domestic theaters, and the schedule of "No Man's Land" has naturally been affected.

On the day it was released, the box office was finally set at 6000 million.

The domestic media are excited again!
A movie with an investment of 450 million not only sold the copyright for 3000 million US dollars, but also received a box office of 6000 million.

This can no longer be described as "making crazy money".

This horse is like moving a money printing machine, printing money 24 hours a day!
However, within a few days, news came out in the industry that Chen Fei, who was far away in Tokyo, had "again" submitted a movie script to the General Administration, and it has now passed the review.

For a time, major domestic film and television companies finally couldn't sit still.

...

Wang Zhonglei was complaining in the office with a face full of resentment, "Young man, this guy is more productive than a sow. Is there anyone who does this? He publishes one movie after another?"

It is no exaggeration to say that the profits created by Chen Fei alone in a single year are almost as much as those of Huayi.

The two brothers are almost crazy with greed now!

Huayi has been in business for so many years and has the largest number of artists in the country. The company is also one of the best in the country.

But what's more, the profit of such a large film and television agency can't even keep up with Chen Fei alone?

Where is this horse-riding guy going to reason?
Wang Zhongjun is a little irritable. The recent incident with Wang Jinghua has given him a headache, and he has no time to pay attention to other things.

"If you have time to complain here, you might as well find a way to contact him."

Wang Zhonglei was very depressed, "This guy turned off his phone and couldn't contact him at all..."

...

To be honest, Chen Fei himself didn't expect that the day after "Partners in China" passed the review of the General Administration, the domestic film and television companies were like cats that smelled fishy smell, and they came together after smelling it. .

In addition to those film and television agencies, all actors who had his contact information also called him and promoted themselves like crazy.

In desperation, he simply turned off the phone.

The filming of "Unfortunate Journey" hasn't been finished yet, and he hasn't even talked to Ning Hao about the script yet, so this group of people is getting anxious.

"It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry!"

He curled his lips and fixed his gaze on Sina.com.

As the second half of the year begins, the silent film and television industry finally begins to glow with vitality.

The first is the good news coming back from abroad.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Green Red" was shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or and Best Actor respectively.

Just like Gu Changwei's "Peacock", this film was also well received by the jury.

It's a pity that in the end, only the jury award was taken back, and the best actor was also taken away by someone else.

However, many people in China still expressed their congratulations. After all, the Palme d'Or is not that easy to win, and having a jury award is pretty awesome.

A photo was also posted on the headlines. Gao Yuanyuan, the heroine of "Green and Red", has a smile as bright as a flower.

The latest photos of the dress have caused a lot of discussion.

A group of wolf friends can't wait to pounce on it and lick the screen!
In addition, major movies scheduled to be released in the second half of the year have also begun preliminary promotions.

"A Thousand Miles Alone", "The Promise", "The Great Sage", "Slaying the Wolf", "Myth", "Seven Swords"... these are all very popular movies.

Of course, the most popular one these days is undoubtedly Jay Chou's "Initial D".

Many people are speculating on how much box office this transformational film by Jay Chou will earn?

Is it an instant success?
Or fall into the abyss?

In addition to the film industry, "a hundred flowers bloom" has also begun in TV dramas.

"Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wu Que" is currently on the air, with a very strong cast, and the audience is still enjoying watching it. After all, Jiang Yuyan has not officially started the massacre of her family yet.

At the same time, TV series such as "Seven Fairies of Joy", "Bright Sword", and "Lotus Lantern" also began to promote.

Among them, "Baolian Lantern" produced by Yangma is the most popular, followed closely by "Bright Sword".

Chen Fei personally participated in and starred in this military-themed TV series. Everyone is curious, what kind of magic does this TV series have that can attract his participation?

...

The time soon came to June [-]th.

Super 3 was finished, and Romulo and his team returned to Hollywood non-stop, preparing to start post-production editing work immediately.

Chen Fei did not follow them.

The crew of "Get Out" is setting up the scene. Even if he goes back to Hollywood now, he can only stay in the hotel. He might as well go back to China.

The filming of "A Man on the Road" has ended, and the post-production has been handed over to China Film Group Corporation. It's time to continue to add some intensity to Ning Hao.

The 6th was the day when Liu Yifei signed a contract with Sony, and many media and reporters came to the scene.

Tianxian enters the music scene, this is big news!

However, what the reporters from China did not expect was that they actually saw Chen Fei and Hu Ge during the signing ceremony.

As for Liu Shishi...she was selectively ignored.

The reporters stopped Chen Fei and Hu Ge.

Someone asked why they were here?
Hu Ge silently stepped aside and gave Chen Fei the opportunity to speak.

"Liu Yifei also played a guest role in Super 3. Super 3 just finished filming, so we came with her."

Not surprisingly, this interview once again appeared on the front pages of major domestic entertainment newspapers.

Zhang's beard was wilted, and he took advantage of the popularity with the completed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

By the time Chen Fei returned to Nortel on the night of the [-]th, news had already broken out on the Internet that he and Liu Yifei had actually already made a private decision during the filming of "Dragon Movie".

"Fuck?"

Chen Fei was immediately stunned!

How could he not remember this?
