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

Chapter 260 The movie is scheduled to cost US$27 billion!Berlin, get another Golden Bear! (asking for monthly ticket)

The failure of "Golden Armor in the City" to compete in the Olympics directly hit the headlines.

The previous "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero" were so brilliant, which also made most people think that Zhang Yimou must be undefeated!
But now, it's a good thing. There is no trace of Golden Armor in the best foreign language film, and it is only given the best costume design.

Doesn't this mean that he was knocked off the altar?

Zhang Weiping is still arrogant: "The copyright sales situation is very good. The cost has been recovered before it is released. Now these are pure profits!"

However, his words seemed extremely weak and pale.

Who is Zhang Yimou?
A top domestic director and one of the three European gold medalists, he also enjoys great fame internationally.

Awards and reputation are the criteria for measuring his success. The box office sometimes seems very pale and is not worthy of Zhang Yimou's fame.

What's more, compared to Chen Fei's recent movies, the box office performance of "Golden Armor" does not seem to be too impressive.

...

Li Lianlian's enthusiasm for starting the "One Fund" suddenly emerged.

The princess and her husband followed suit and set up an angel fund. Many domestic actors, stars and people in the industry donated money, which can be said to have made them famous.

In blogs and post bars, netizens and fans who are watching the excitement point to the artists in the circle one by one, hoping that their idols can have a brilliant performance.

"Doing charity?"

Chen Fei glanced at Liu Yifei and asked curiously: "Did you donate?"

"Yes." The little girl looked at the finished film of "Insidious 2" without blinking, and nodded repeatedly: "My mother has already donated it for me."

Face has to be given after all...

After arranging for Su Guohai to donate 100 million yuan to the "One Fund" and "Angel Fund" respectively, and 500 million yuan to the National Western Education Project, Chen Fei stopped paying attention to charity.

As long as the face is given, charity is only played by the rich. After all, there are only a few people like Principal Gu and Liu Dehua who really do practical things.

After discussing with the theaters, the release date of "Iron Man" was set on April 4, which happened to miss the announcement time of major awards.

"Insidious 2" was placed on February 2. As the company's first good start, it happened to be in the same time period as Disney's "Bridge to Terabithia."

Wen Ziren has no objection. Anyway, the audience for horror movies is very fixed.

But Natasha is very happy. Sharing the box office with Disney has always been her dream.

The reason is simple. The guy she hated ran from Dimension Pictures to Disney and became a producer!

Gotta fuck him!
The release date of "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" was originally planned to be in May, but after checking the schedule, Chen Fei discovered that there are so many blockbusters this month!

"Spider-Man 3", "Shrek 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End"...

After comprehensive consideration, Twilight's release date was set for June 6, which coincided with Disney's "Mouse Chef".

Continue to play him!

This arrangement put a smile on Natasha's face, and she even kissed Chen Fei passionately, which made Liu Yifei's eyes widen.

After all, the little girl still cannot accept this special "etiquette" of the West.

The box office division of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has begun, and several investors are making a lot of money.

Ye Ning from Wanda called: "Director Chen, when will you return to China? I will definitely arrange everything for you so that you can feel at home!"

"Haha, then I have to look forward to it."

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, mainly discussing the development of the theater chain.

3D and IMAX are definitely the future trends. Both of them agree on this, and the future development direction is extremely clear.

"Iron Man" and "Twilight" are both imported films. Although these two films are not participated by several domestic film companies, Ye Ning has repeatedly promised that he will never be disappointed in terms of film arrangement!
After arranging the release dates of several movies in hand, Chen Fei made a special trip to Marvel Company.

Regarding "The Incredible Hulk", he gave full authority to Kevin Feige. The film did not ask for anything else, as long as it could recover the cost.

After meeting Isaac Perlmutter, he directly arranged: "The next plan is to launch peripheral products for various superheroes, starting with Iron Man and Hulk."

"Can it be sold?" Isaac was a little confused.

The sale of movie character peripherals requires the character to have a certain degree of influence. To put it simply, the box office of "Iron Man" must be high.

"Just do as you're told."

Chen Fei didn't have time to explain to him, so he just made a final conclusion.

Then he went to Kevin Feige and left him the scripts for "Thor" and "Captain America": "Let's do the preliminary preparations first, but don't worry, we won't start filming until the second half of the year."

"Uh…"

After staring at the script in his hand for a while, Kevin Feige said with some suspicion: "Will one be released a year?"

"Don't worry about it, I will arrange it later."

Chen Fei didn't say much to him. After "Iron Man" is released, Marvel's ten-year layout plan can be launched.

...

After leaving Marvel, he drove straight to Longxiang Capital.

Eric was still busy in his office. The caffeine in the air was extremely strong, and his spirit was also very high.

Chen Fei paid attention to the code on the screen.

It was clear that the production had reached its final stages, and the tool he wanted to harvest "the world's greed" was about to appear.

When he saw Leon again, he still had a troubled expression.

Chen Fei's US$5 million has been accounted for. More and more CDS contracts are signed, and money is flowing out.

"Leon, how far is the buying process?"

"Boss." He stood up first and said hello, and then he brought over a document: "According to your instructions, we are doing our best to acquire during this period, and have purchased CDS with a guaranteed amount of 2 million principal. , roughly equivalent to a value of US$3 billion.”

$27 billion?
Chen Fei's eyes lit up: "Great, keep working hard and try to spend all this money before August!"

"But…"

"Is there any problem? Just say it."

Lyon was a bit tangled and said: "During this period, we have purchased more than 2 million CDS, but the CDOs on the market are still rising, and the CDS has not changed at all because of our intervention. If we had purchased CDOs at the beginning, there would now be at least 50 % profit."

Obviously, he feels sorry for this principal. After all, according to the current situation, CDS is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled!
Chen Fei shrugged indifferently.

"Lyon, we have a proverb in China, which is that wealth can be gained through danger. I originally wanted to persuade you to follow me and buy some CDS, but it seems you don't have the guts."

After trying hard to understand the meaning of the phrase "wealth is gained through danger", Leon shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He really doesn't have that much courage. The key is that there is no sign of any return on this investment.

This is just crazy!

The gambling in Las Vegas is not as crazy as Chen Fei's investment!

With a leverage of more than ten times, with a principal of US$5 million, at least US$60 billion can be leveraged.

If in the end, as Chen Fei said, there will be more than ten times the income, then at least 600 billion US dollars will be recorded.

is it possible?

It feels very suspenseful just thinking about it!
...

Chen Fei was quite curious before as to why Lao Jia and Lao Mouzi suddenly started fighting each other.

But when Huang Bo called him and said that "The Good Man", which won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival, had a domestic box office of only 200 million, he suddenly realized!

Lao Jia is really good at making literary films, and the three major European films are also weak, but this one is really dismal at the box office.

Among these fifth-generation directors, only Lao Mouzi can do both literature and business, while the others can only wallow in the field of literary films.

"Is your movie "Big Movie: Billions" pretty good?"

This is the first spoof-themed film to be released publicly in mainland China, and it can be considered a great precedent.

"Sigh." Huang Bo sighed and said: "Most of the audience still can't accept it. The reputation has completely collapsed. Let's see if "囧" can continue to attract me."

"Haha, I feel pretty good, but the ending is a little rushed."

"I suddenly wanted to be a director myself."

Huang Bo's sudden words stunned Chen Fei.

"Are you confident?"

"To be honest, there really isn't, but I just want to give it a try."

"Then let me give you a notebook?"

"real!"

"It's still true. I'm short of a good director right now."

"Haha, that's a good feeling. I'm waiting for you to come back!"

...

January goes by quickly.

News came from CJ that the release date of "New World" was set for March and Chen Fei was invited to attend the premiere.

ShowBox followed closely and announced that the filming of "The Crucible" has officially started, and the cast list includes Kong Liu and Lin Yoona.

Another news broke out in Hollywood that Lao Mouzi's "The Golden Jacket" was canceled ahead of time by North American theaters. The box office was so bad that the guaranteed distribution company almost fainted in the toilet from crying.

North American box office news has been officially announced.

600 million dollars!
The companies that bought the copyright also cried and fainted in the toilet.

The co-production "The King of Kung Fu" was announced to have officially started shooting, and it was very popular. Even Zhao Yanzi's makeup photo almost made Chen Fei burst into laughter when he saw it.

Taking a detailed look at the entire domestic entertainment industry, when it comes to looks, few can compete with Liu Yifei.

Feng Xiaogang wanted to wash away his previous shame, and the Sixth Princess also supported a movie with a theme like "Assembly", and specially arranged for the prime time to show the trailer, and the queue was very full.

Chen Kaige also holds the belief of "proving himself" and officially announced that he will shoot the biographical film "Mei Lanfang", which will be officially launched in May.

Li Ming has been confirmed to play the role of the adult "Mei Lanfang".

Each of the four heavenly kings has a unique temperament. When it comes to the image of a gentle and elegant prince, this one is indeed the most suitable.On the other side, Li Bian announced that "Lust, Caution" has officially finished filming and will be preparing for the 64th Venice Film Festival.

Tian Yu and Tang Wei have completely broken up.

During the filming of "Shoplifters", Chen Fei gave him guidance for a long time, and he gradually accepted this fact.

There's nothing he can do if he doesn't accept it. If his girlfriend insists on going, there's no way he can make a big fuss on the set.

That's just his girlfriend, not his wife.

The media's attention was still on Li Yin, but Lu Chuan suddenly announced "Nanjing!"Nanjing! 》The filming has come to an end, and I will catch up as soon as possible to participate in the selection of the Cannes Film Festival.

All the old guys in the literary and art circles are supporting him, believing that he will definitely win the Palme d'Or this time!

Chen Fei really couldn't understand where they got their confidence?

"Hypnotize yourself?"

Pouring his lips, Fade Chen closed his phone and stopped paying attention to the rest of the news.

The airport was already reminding people to board the plane. The day after tomorrow was the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival. As a member of the jury, he must be there to attend.

It is a pity that he did not have time to attend the premiere of "Falling Leaves Returns" due to the selection of the Golden Bear Award.

Zhao Benshan, Guo Degang…

This movie is really good, Uncle Motoyama's acting skills are awesome.

When a comedian makes a movie, his acting skills can really beat 80.00% of professional actors!
...

On February 2, the 8th Berlin International Film Festival officially kicked off.

In this film festival, a total of 26 films from all over the world were shortlisted for the main competition unit, 17 feature films were shortlisted for the panoramic unit, and 16 short films were shortlisted for the short film competition unit.

The two films "Tuya's Marriage" and "Apple" were shortlisted for the main competition section, while "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" was shortlisted for the grand viewing section.

At the opening ceremony, Chen Fei met Wang Quan'an and Li Yu, as well as Yu Nan, Fan Bingbin, Tong Dawei, and Liang Jiahui who followed them.

"Director Chen, thank you, thank you so much!"

As soon as Wang Quan'an came up, he bent down and bowed, which completely confused Chen Fei.

Thank you for what?
He really wanted to explain that it was not he who had the final say that "Tuya's Marriage" entered the main competition.

But seeing that everyone else seemed to "know it all", Chen Fei could only sigh helplessly.

There's no point in explaining it, just let it be a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Director Chen, this is our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"Hello, Director Li."

Li Yu is a very capable director. He directed his first film "This Summer" in 2000 and won the Elvira Natalie Award at the 58th Venice International Film Festival and the Best Asian Award at the 51st Berlin International Film Festival. Special Film Award.

The movie script "Dam Street" written in 2004 won the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Busan Film Festival. In 2005, the script was directed by her and made into a female-themed literary film "Beautiful Beauty", which won the "European Screenplay Award" at the Venice International Film Festival. Art Award", Vienna International Film Festival "Jury Prize" and other awards.

Now that "Apple" has been nominated for the Berlin Film Festival again, this also means that she will reach a higher level in the domestic literary and artistic circles.

""Apple" has rented a seat in Screening Room No. 3. If Director Chen has time, he can go and reward it."

"Okay, I will definitely go." Chen Fei agreed happily.

Liang Jiahui came up and said hello: "Director Chen, the filming of "October Siege" will start soon. This should be regarded as our first cooperation. It is a great honor."

"Haha, I hope there will be more opportunities in the future."

Chen Fei still has a good impression of this guy. He is one of the best actors in Hong Kong, and at least he is much better than Tony Leung Chiu-wei.

...

The premiere is being held here in Berlin, and trouble is starting to happen in the mainland again.

Huang Shengyi and Xinghui won their lawsuit and it was decided on Hong Kong Island.

The contract stated 76.9, but only 6 was actually given. I don’t know how to calculate this number...

"A City of Gold" was completely disappointing. Zhang Wei commented that he was unhappy. He and Chow Yun-fat exchanged insults on the Internet, accusing each other of not cooperating with the promotion.

The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island are still very good. They turned around and reported that the interests among the investors were unevenly distributed and that Zhang Weiping was doing small things behind the scenes.

For a time, the two sides became even more tense, and even threatened to block him!

In the "Apple" screening room, Chen Fei was full of surprise: "Say it again? Who wants to block whom?"

Fan Bingbin's shoulders were half exposed and his smile was like a flower: "Zhang Weiping wants to ban Chow Yun-fat."

"Oh, he is really capable."

Pouring his lips, Fade Chen directly took these words as a joke.

If Zhang Weiping had that kind of ability, he would be the only one in the country, and he would even make a shitty movie, so go run for office.

With the stubbornness of domestic filmmakers, it is absolutely impossible for a film to participate in the award to delete the plot, and "Apple" falls into this category.

The large-scale lens amazed Chen Fei.

"Actually, these are all stand-ins. I found a girl who specifically looked like me."

Fan Bingbin explained in a low voice on the side, and his soft, boneless hands naturally rested on Chen Fei's arm. The meaning could not be more obvious.

This person is very capable. He has opened the first actor's studio in China and gets along very well with all companies. He is the target of crazy pursuit by the media.

Chen Fei withdrew his arm and nodded slightly.

"make persistent efforts."

Fan Bingbin's face froze, and he felt sad.

She has almost made it clear, but this person is indifferent. She has to wonder if this person, like some directors with weird quirks, also likes the same sex?
~

In the blink of an eye, ten days flew by!

On the 18th, the closing ceremony went on as scheduled.

Chen Fei did not go to the Avenue of Stars. He was a judge and one of the award presenters tonight.

Fan Bingbin walked in wearing a tube top white dress. When she saw Chen Fei in the front row, a smile appeared on her face.

Domestic reporters quickly recorded this scene.

The media loves to report on talented men and beautiful women, and netizens are also very keen to watch such scandals between male stars and female stars.

Li Yu, Tong Dawei, and Liang Jiahui walked in, their expressions a little gloomy.

They did not receive a call from the jury to invite the film, which also means that this time it was a waste of time.

On the contrary, Wang Quanan and Yu Nan behind them smiled brightly!
Chen Fei called them personally and told them to be there!

This is the time to win big prizes!

On the day of the closing ceremony, Han Sanping also rushed over and happened to sit behind Chen Fei.

"Is there any good news?"

Feeling the hand on his shoulder, Chen Fei turned around and gave him a look.

In an instant, the third master beamed with joy.

...

The awards ceremony officially began, and the huge auditorium was packed with seats.

Paul Schrader, as the opener, took the stage to speak, and also announced the identity and record of everyone on the jury.

Chen Fei is the most eye-catching one, and his many nicknames make everyone envious.

The award ceremony officially begins.

Teddy Award, Crystal Bear Award, International Film Critics Award...

The awards for non-main competition units were announced one by one. "Tuya's Marriage" and "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" won the Humanitarian Spirit Award one after another.

The most noteworthy and exciting thing is always the final main competition unit.

Silver Bear for Best Actress: Nina Hoss, "Yela"

Silver Bear for Best Actor: Julio Chavez, "Others"

Silver Bear for Best Director: Joseph Starr, "Beaufort"

In the back row, the four characters Fan Bingbin, Tong Dawei, Liang Jiahui, and Li Yu were in despair. After all, there was no hope.

On the contrary, Wang Quan'an's face was filled with surprise!
The Humanitarian Spirit Award was not worth Chen Fei's special call.

"The winner of the Silver Bear of the Jury Prize at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival is: Ariel Roth's "Others""

clap clap clap!
There was thunderous applause, and Paul Schrader personally handed the trophy to the winner.

After adjusting his suit, Chen Fei stood up and walked slowly towards the stage.

Taking the envelope, he smiled at the audience and read slowly: "The winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival is Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage."

boom!
In an instant, the scene was boiling.

Wang Quan'an jumped up from his seat, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Golden Bear!
Really a golden bear!
Fan Bingbin, Li Yu, Han Sanping and others all looked shocked. Apparently they did not expect that the Golden Bear Award would be won by "Tuya's Marriage".

This is a Chinese film after "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou in 1988, "Scented Soul Girl" directed by Xie Hui in 1993, "The Wedding Banquet" directed by Li Bian in 1994 and "No Man's Land" directed by Chen Fei in 2005. Another Golden Bear Award!

After two years, another golden bear was held in the arms of a Chinese director, which is of great significance!

On the stage, Wang Quan'an couldn't hide his joy after receiving the Golden Bear trophy from Chen Fei.

"Thank you very much to all the judges for their recognition, and to the actors for their dedication. Thank you to Xiying..."

Click!Click!Click!

There were flashing lights under the stage, and most of the domestic media's attention was focused on Chen Fei. They unconsciously thought of all the previous rumors...
