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

Chapter 196: Certified by the Olympic Organizing Committee: "Little Master of Poetry", breaking box office records again!The ambition in my heart!

After attending the viewing ceremony of "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles", Chen Fei took him on a trip to China Film Studio.

"2012" has to arrange some people in advance to come to Sichuan Province and the border areas to set up scenes, which requires cooperation and coordination from China Film.

"No problem, let them contact me when the time comes and I will say hello."

Han Sanping agreed without hesitation.

When Hollywood movies are filmed in China, it also stimulates the local economy to a certain extent and can also promote the country. No one will choose to refuse.

After saying hello, Chen Fei stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this time, Han Sanping suddenly stopped him, "You have a bright mind, give me some ideas, how should I clean up this mess of "The Promise"?"

"Uh..." Chen Fei was stunned for a moment and asked: "Shouldn't we ask Director Kai Ge about this?"

"Oh, don't mention it!"

Han Sanping sighed, feeling really depressed.

Nowadays, the Internet is full of voices complaining about "The Promise". Chen Hong specially came to the company, hoping to control China Film.

But how to "control" this thing?
Mouths are all on other people's faces. No matter how powerful Zhongying is, he can't cover everyone's mouths.

Moreover, this kind of negative voice came from both traditional paper media and Internet media. It is rare for both parties to be so unified. Wuji has created a myth!
It’s also thanks to China Film that the scale of publicity and distribution has been stretched to the extreme, otherwise just based on these voices, the box office could be pushed to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing Han Sanping's lonely expression, Chen Fei didn't know what to say.

To put it bluntly, this thing is obviously a piece of shit, but it still treats the audience as fools. Who can buy your fault?

"How much is the box office?"

"Just exceeded [-] million."

"not bad!"

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Fei's face. Despite so much abuse and ridicule, he still has a hundred million. Brother Chen Kai's reputation is still strong!
Han Sanping sighed, "That's because China Film Group has given the largest film schedule, and the investment in this film is as high as 3.5 million, which is far from repaying the money."

"That's also..."

The box office performance of "The Promise" is obviously insufficient, with the growth rate falling again and again.

On the contrary, "Partners in China" has seen a pretty good growth. More than half a month after its release, the box office has steadily exceeded the 2 million mark, and the response from the audience has been very good.

The media has also carried out a wave of reports, but unfortunately the black material in "The Promise" is too overwhelming and it has not attracted too many viewers yet.

Chen Fei thinks that this is good, and he wants to make a fortune in silence, but he will make this profit first.

"You can't do it either?"

"Mr. Han, I'm not a god, and I didn't make that film. What can I do? Unless director Kai Ge can bring "The Promise" to the Oscar podium and win the best foreign language film, otherwise There is nothing we can do about it."

Chen Fei was a little dumbfounded. The mess caused by Brother Chen Kai had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved.

"Oh, forget it, that's it."

Han Sanping sighed, showing her loneliness.

The money earned from "Chinese Partners" should be used to make up for part of "The Promise," so be it.

...

After leaving the China Film Building, Chen Fei called Columbia Pictures back and rushed to the airport again.

The filming of "Source Code" has reached the last third, and it will be almost over at the end of this month. I can just take some time to go home and see the old man.

I will definitely have to go to Hollywood again on New Year's Eve, and I have to settle my domestic affairs.

The promotion of "The Journey" has also kept up in the past two days. The last movie in the Lunar New Year season focuses on the Spring Festival travel season, and the attention is not low.

Wang Baoqiang's military career has been very fulfilling, and the filming of "Soldier Assault" has also come to an end and is expected to end in March next year.

Chen Fei is going to take some time to go there.

The script of "Insidious" has been reviewed and approved and is currently in the preparation stage.

Chen Fei chose a director from the list given by Tian Zhuangzhuang and asked him to work with Ni Xuelin and others on the screenwriting team to be responsible for the TV series.

There were several reporters outside the crew. When they saw Chen Fei coming back, they stopped him and asked him what he thought of "The Promise".

At first glance, the four words "very shocked" seemed to be a compliment, but as the abuse spread online, netizens suddenly read some different meanings from these four words.

"I'm very busy, I'll chat next time..."

Chen Fei chose to refuse the interview.

Not only him, but also people in the industry have tacitly chosen to remain silent this time. Zhang Yimou even said "no comment" directly, which made the reporters feel toothache.

"Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" has a good reputation, so there is no need for him to get involved in the muddy waters of "The Promise".

The 8-minute repetitive footage has ended, and most of the subsequent scenes are some outdoor scenes, mainly about the chase and struggle between Chen Fei and Sun Honglei.

"Director Chen, please take it easy, I won't resist a beating."

"Haha, don't worry, this scene is about you beating me, not me beating you."

The street fighting scenes in "Slaying the Wolf" made many people tremble with fear. The fighting scenes were so scary that Sun Honglei was afraid of getting beaten.

...

Many comments about "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" have appeared in major media.

Professors from Nortel praised the film one after another: "This is Zhang Yimou's comeback. It's not that there's anything wrong with him making commercial films, but it means that this film has reached the heights that his previous literary films have reached."

Film critics from Japan even said: "This movie presents a world with simple folk customs, no bitterness, no hatred, no anger, no helplessness, only very pure touching..."

The person in charge of the Capital New Film Alliance Cinemas publicly commented: "This movie gave the audience a kind of spiritual shock and emotional caress, making people feel a faint sense of warmth after watching it."

Although it is a purely literary film, within three days of its release, the national box office has reached 2205 million, which can be said to be a good harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

Zhang Yimou’s literary myth continues.

After looking at these comments and the abuse of "The Promise", the forced smile on Chen Kai's face completely disappeared.

"What do these audiences know? It took me three years to put so much connotation into the film. How can they understand it after watching it once or twice?"

Being furious is no longer enough to describe Brother Chen Kai's current situation. His family background and honor make him think that he will definitely succeed.

But now, the appearance of "The Promise" slapped him hard!

As the old saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs and misfortune never comes alone.

That afternoon, the Olympic Organizing Committee held a press conference to announce the teams that had successfully advanced after the first round of competition.

They are: Zhang Yimou and Jack Morton's joint team, the military art troupe team, the national song and dance team, Li Bian's team, and the Evans director team.

As soon as the news broke, Brother Chen Kai's face turned completely dark.

Netizens were even more shocked. This was only the first round, and the famous Palme d'Or director was kicked out?

At the press conference, a reporter asked, "Why didn't Brother Chen Kai advance?"

The spokesperson looked calm and answered matter-of-factly: "Director Chen Kaige's plan is naturally excellent. He was in excellent condition during the competition and even recited the song "Wen Guanjun Retakes South Hebei" to express his passionate emotions .

But after careful consideration, he still regretted not being selected. After all, the position of opening ceremony director is not about selecting a film director. The key is to integrate into the group..."

Brother Chen Kai's family background is indeed quite strong, but which of the judges sitting above him doesn't have a higher profile than him?

The news came to light, and a message quickly appeared on the forum.

"Brother Chen Kai? A master of poetry?"

……

The collapse of the reputation of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the movie made Brother Chen Kai very depressed.

It was released for half a month, and the box office reached 1.3 million, which can be said to be a loss to grandma's house.

Even though there is still half a month of release period, as expected, the final box office hit will be 1.6 million or 1.7 million.

On the other hand, "Partners in China" was released for a full 20 days. During this period, there were obstacles such as "The Promise", "A Thousand Miles Alone", the Hollywood blockbuster "King Kong" and other films, but the box office still steadily exceeded 2.5 million. It even climbed all the way to 2.75 million!
Media reports directly filled all major portal websites.

The mainland box office record set by "Hero" in 02 has finally been broken!

Many people are speculating whether this movie, which tells the story of the Chinese Dream and shocked countless people born in the 70s and 80s, can eventually exceed 3 million?
Ning Hao, who was promoting the release of "Unfortunately", was chased and intercepted by reporters.

"Director Ning, congratulations on officially entering the 2 million box office director club, officially breaking the domestic box office record set by directors Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou."

"Director Ning, what do you think about the fact that the box office is about to exceed [-] million?" "Director Ning, in your opinion, is there any warning about the collapse of the reputation of "The Promise" during the same period?"

"What is the box office forecast for "Unfortunately"? Can it set a new record?"

"As the leading commercial film director in China, do you have any other film plans next?"

One question after another was thrown in front of Ning Hao, making him feel a strong sense of unreality.

Surpass Chen Fei?Surpass Zhang Yimou?The domestic box office exceeded 3 million?
This is completely unimaginable for him!

But this thing actually happened.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Ning Hao quickly returned to his senses.

He thought of Chen Fei's teachings. He pretended not to have heard the questions about "The Promise" and simply replied to other questions.

"Speaking of it, I am actually very lucky. I have been deeply involved in the career of literary and artistic films, but I have repeatedly hit the wall, even to the point of selling my house to pay off debts, but the appearance of Director Chen has become a beam of light in my life!

That film "Buried Alive" won me the first important award in my life. In the subsequent filming, Director Chen even hired me to be the assistant director for each of his works, which greatly relieved the pressure in my life. .

"Partners in China" and "People on the Road" were both works provided to me by Director Chen. It was he who helped me see the light in life, the future and hope step by step..."

This interview quickly appeared on the front pages of major portal websites, but the title was a little confusing.

[Analysis: Director Ning Hao, a new member of the 2 million box office commercial film club, and the man behind him...]

Fade Chen: "???"

At the same time, while "Chinese Partners", "The Promise", and "Ride Alone" were competing, Liu Zhenwei's "The Great Sage" was also released.

[Westward Journey Part [-]]

The seven-character promotional rhetoric attracted the attention of many people.

The media all say that this movie will be a super dark horse in the Lunar New Year season, and it will definitely be another masterpiece with a box office of over [-] million.

Chen Fei took the time to go to the cinema and watch it again.

As one of the first science fiction movies of the 21st century, "The Great Sage" appears in many science fiction scenes, such as time and space travel, laser battles, alien visitors, etc.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Tartar himself, and its release channels are all over Southeast Asia.

however……

The box office on the first day was less than 500 million.

After all, Super Dark Horse failed to meet Bole and completely fell into mediocrity. Its popularity dropped sharply and began to make way for another movie directed by Ning Hao.

"Unfortunately" did not hold a premiere, but chose to be released as scheduled.

This is another classic comedy-drama film. The various funny scenes in it are hilarious, and Wang Baoqiang's performance has won praises from many people.

Despite the blockage from many parties, the box office on the first day still reached 1000 million, and the online reviews were overwhelmingly positive.

As soon as the news was exposed, there was an uproar in the film and television circles!
Obviously, this is another masterpiece with a box office of over [-] million.

Chen Fei's "myth of invincibility" has been verified again. Except for "Buried Alive", no other work has a box office lower than [-] million.

It can be considered a coincidence, after all, the leading actors in this movie are not actually very famous.

But with the blessing of the Spring Festival, Ning Hao's direction, Chen Fei's screenwriting, Liu Yifei's guest appearance, etc., coupled with the skewed film schedules of major theaters, it has really created a myth!

……

As soon as December passes, the calendar on the wall is officially replaced with 12, and the final scene of "Source Code" is about to follow.

In the hotel room, mother and daughter Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli were whispering.

"Mom, everyone on the Internet said that the female teacher you played was so great and made many people cry."

Liu Xiaoli was self-aware and added: "That's because the script is well written. No matter who plays this role, it can make people cry."

Even though she said this, she still felt very happy in her heart.

"Unfortunately" is her first movie role, and she didn't expect that she got a good start!

Just as I was thinking about it, my daughter's voice suddenly came to my ears: "The filming will be completed tomorrow."

"Well, it's really fast."

Liu Xiaoli subconsciously agreed.

"Mom, don't go to the set tomorrow, okay?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we have to shoot a kiss scene tomorrow..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

After a long silence, Liu Xiaoli sighed, with complicated eyes, and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

At this moment, she suddenly realized that her daughter had really grown up, and was no longer the little girl who was obediently waiting for her backstage when she was a child.

...

Time flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day comes when "Source Code" is finished.

Liu Yifei was handling her makeup with the help of a makeup artist, while Chen Fei and Ning Hao, who had returned from promotion, were sitting behind the monitor chatting.

"Have you read the news on the Internet? Teacher Six is ​​severely criticizing them for damaging Sun Wukong's image, and many people are supporting them."

"Indeed."

Chen Fei nodded, quite agreeing with Teacher Six's opinion.

This kind of messy magic modification will only consume the vitality of the classic IP "Westward Journey". "The Great Sage" could originally be a benchmark for Hollywood's Marvel, but now it has been messed up.

"Wait! Marvel!?"

In a daze, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly widened.

If he remembered correctly, Marvel seemed to be a comic company on the verge of bankruptcy at this time, and it was only successfully acquired by Disney in 09.

Thinking of this, he suddenly couldn't hold back his excitement!
Taking out his mobile phone, he immediately dialed Natalie's number on the other side of the ocean.

At this time, night falls in Los Angeles, and people who have been busy all day are being invited to various parties, preparing to enjoy a wonderful night.

The phone was quickly connected, and the sound of music and laughter was slightly noisy.

"Natalie, I have something very important to ask you to do. If we can succeed, it will be easy to surpass the top eight in Hollywood!"

The noise on the other end of the phone quickly disappeared without a trace.

Natalie ran out the door and asked curiously: "Fei? What are you talking about? What is important? Why can you surpass the top eight in Hollywood?"

Chen Fei got straight to the point: "I want you to help me acquire a company. Its name is "Marvel Comics". Natalie, if you can successfully acquire it, Walton Pictures will certainly be able to do so." Make it big in Hollywood!”

Although Marvel is already one of the comic book giants in the United States at this time, it has not really entered the film field yet.

Even "Iron Man" will have to wait until 08 to be released, and the filming has not yet been announced!
If it could be taken down at this time, it would be a big mistake!
Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, Deadpool, Black Widow, Thor, Thanos...

When thinking about these Marvel characters that will become popular in the future, as well as the huge Marvel universe, Chen Fei suddenly couldn't hold back his excitement.

If this acquisition can be completed, it will be a milestone victory for Walton Pictures and him personally!

On the other end of the phone, Natalie reacted belatedly, "Fei, I will get it done as soon as possible."

This was the first time she heard Chen Fei's tone so excited.

And this also made her curious, is that "Marvel Comics" really so awesome?After buying it, it can successfully surpass the top eight in Hollywood?

Until he hung up the phone, Chen Fei was still in an excited state.

Coincidentally, when this kind of "excitement" was incorporated into the filming, it perfectly showed the joy of the male protagonist after he successfully obtained the "opportunity to be reborn."

Looking at the slightly shy Liu Yifei in front of him, Chen Fei took the initiative to kiss her.

The moment their lips came together, he could clearly feel the girl's body in his arms trembling slightly, and the soft and waxy touch spread between his lips.

At this time, as the woman, Liu Yifei felt that her whole body was hot, her heart was beating wildly, her body was weak, and her mind was completely blank!
Vaguely, she suddenly felt as if something was pressing gently between her lips.

She subconsciously opened her tight lips, and then her whole body was completely numb as if she had received an electric shock. She just tried her best to accommodate...
