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

Chapter 335 Olympic opening ceremony, Phoenix Nirvana! new task? A new chapter? (asking for monthly ticket)

4050 million, 3500 million, 3876 million!

In three consecutive days, "Kung Fu Panda" grossed 1.14 million yuan in the mainland, setting off a crazy movie-watching craze.

Especially among teenagers, this kung fu “panda” has suddenly become their favorite anime character.

Thanks to the publicity of thoughtful people, the movie "Kung Fu Panda" has even become a "masterpiece" of the Olympic Games, which has also provided a huge boost to the reverse growth of the box office.

At the same time, North America also successfully earned an outstanding performance of US$3258 million in the three days of the first weekend with results of 3007 million, 2654 million, and 8919 million!

This figure far exceeded Chen Fei's expectations, and was even $2000 million higher than "Wall-E"!

Natasha called and said excitedly: "Fei, the total global box office of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" has exceeded US$2 million. According to predictions, the North American box office should eventually be settled at around US$3.5 million. , we once again created the miracle of low-cost movies!

The kung fu panda is also very good. According to the predictions of relevant organizations, it is certain that the global box office will exceed 5 million! "

"it is good."

In the Bird's Nest venue, Chen Fei put down the work at hand and specifically warned: "The distribution in South Korea, Russia, Canada and other places can also gradually follow up.

Also, if you have enough energy, you can try to set up branches in other countries, which will also be helpful for publicity and distribution, and can also promote the expansion of distribution channels. "

Branch?

Natasha thought for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart.

This is a good plan!

"Okay, I will take the time to do market research. If the plan is feasible, I can try to start with the surrounding areas."

"Well, that's it for now. You go about your business first. Remember to come to the Olympics opening ceremony on August 8th."

After saying hello, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

It was Huo Qigang who inspired him to set up a branch. The love brain really has two skills in running a company. The film "October Besieged" alone gave the already sluggish Jiahe a new lease of life!

Different from Volton Pictures and Marvel Pictures, Golden Harvest's business is still in the film distribution channel, and its main revenue is also the distribution share of the film.

In order to obtain more distribution channels, Huo Qigang came up with a very "awesome" plan.

He first established branches in various Southeast Asian countries. After establishing a foothold, he began to implement the "Fission Plan", gradually cannibalizing the local film promotion business, and conducting theater construction and acquisitions.

Relying on the steady flow of funds, this fission plan was successfully implemented by him.

He has almost taken over the theaters in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and other places, leaving only a few established film companies still struggling to support them.

Perhaps it won't be long before the film promotion and distribution in Southeast Asian countries will be firmly controlled by Jiahe!

Waltons Pictures can also use this method.

'Fission, cannibalization, and pocketing', once this process is followed, it won't be long before Volton Pictures will also have global distribution channels.

Of course, the prerequisite for all development is a steady flow of funds.

What's interesting is that although Chen Fei is not very talented in running a company, as the "chief content executive", he can give Waltons Pictures and Marvel Pictures a lot in terms of film and television drama output. , Jiahe, Feiyue Film and Television are the most powerful support companies!

Production of film and television dramas, publicity and distribution, return of funds, company expansion/continued production...

The cycle goes back and forth, and a perfect closed loop is formed!

Punch Walt Disney, stomp on 20th Century Fox, kick Time Warner, slap Paramount with a backhand, defeat Columbia, throw Universal Pictures over the shoulder... these are Chen Fei's future goals.

He believes that with his own efforts, these will become real pictures and not just a bragging statement.

Of course, we still have to finish the Olympic Games ignition mission first, as well as... the new mission recently refreshed by the system!

[Challenge mission: (climb to the highest point of the Bird's Nest and successfully land by parachute), difficulty level 7 stars, complete the mission to receive an A-level reward blind box. 】

[The mission is limited to five months. If it is completed within the specified time, there is a certain chance of triggering double blind box rewards! 】

According to Chen Fei's previous assumptions, he was actually planning to wait until after the Olympics, find a more reasonable reason to climb up the Bird's Nest, and finally complete this challenge.

But when the latest ignition scheme was activated, a new idea suddenly burst into his mind.

Since we have to fly to the top of the bird's nest with wires hanging in the early stage, why can't we parachute to the ground?

But when he told Zhang Yimou his idea, Lao Mouzi was speechless, "Why do you have so many fantastic ideas?"

"I just thought you were complimenting me." Chen Fei smiled cheerfully and was very cheeky.

"I just think that using wires to hang it up and then using wires to lower it down is too boring. It doesn't show the magnificence of our great country at all!"

Zhang Yimou, "So?"

"When the torch is lit, isn't there a gap at the scene? Taking advantage of this gap, I can fly down directly from the bird's nest. The moment I land, I can retract my umbrella and disappear at the entrance of the passage. This is much more interesting than the previous plan. .”

After carefully recalling what Chen Fei said in his mind, Zhang Yimou nodded in approval.

Indeed, this landing method is much more enjoyable to watch than the previous way of lowering the wire.

But then again, "Are you so confident? What if you fail accidentally? In public, wouldn't you have to embarrass yourself in front of a national audience?"

"Of course I am fully confident, otherwise I would not have been able to come up with this implementation method."

Chen Fei was quite confident.

The high-altitude skydiving skill is now at the highest level 5. If you can't even do a BASE jump, what the hell?

Seeing his serious look, Zhang Yimou suddenly became interested, "Then let's give it a try?"

"Okay, I'll have someone send a parachute over."

With that said, Chen Fei directly called Red Bull.

After hearing his request, they immediately said there was no problem and promised to deliver the parachute to him as soon as possible.

People from three of Hollywood's top special effects companies, Digital Domain, Industrial Light & Magic, and Weta Digital, arrived in the capital on the 4th.

After entering the bird's nest, the group first signed a confidentiality agreement, and then began to get busy.

Sandra Netback personally led the team. While leading the team in equipment construction and model production, she also imparted a lot of science knowledge to Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou.

"In fact, the update and iteration of holographic projection technology has gone through a long period of time. The major update can be traced back to 01. At that time, holographic film technology was officially launched. The holographic projection medium that can achieve relatively clear effects and low cost also officially appeared in the public vision.

Immediately afterwards, holographic projection ushered in a wave of application, and holographic films began to be widely used in various fields, such as the 3D movies we are familiar with.

Subsequently, holographic projection technology continued to develop and make breakthroughs, and more new technologies and products emerged.

The year before last, the Danish company ViZo developed 360-degree phantom imaging technology, and holographic projection technology also entered a mature stage at this time.

ViZo Company boldly used holographic film to build an inverted pyramid-shaped triangular funnel geometric model. Four projectors projected video images. After a series of optical diffraction in the funnel, they were combined into a holographic image, showing that there are real objects floating in the air. Effect.

Last year, researchers at MIT developed a technology called "air holographic projection", which can project interactive images on the "wall" formed by airflow. In terms of water vapor, the principle is similar to that of mirage.

In the first half of this year, Arizona State University successfully created a renewable 3D holographic display. This is one of the first 3D holographic displays in the world, and we are now using this holographic display on the Bird's Nest. "

Listening to his explanation, Zhang Yimou, Chen Fei and the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee all turned their attention to the "white display screens" piled aside.

A supervisor from the Olympic Organizing Committee looked puzzled, "Is this a 3D holographic display? Why does it look like glass?"

Sandra smiled slightly and did not explain more. She just arranged for a few people in the team to briefly demonstrate the 3D holographic projection technology.

Several people immediately got busy, placing several display screens in order.

At the same time, several special effects artists from Industrial Light and Magic on the other side quickly began modeling on the computer and transferring data.

A few minutes later, a very magical picture suddenly appeared in front of everyone at the scene.

I saw a series of special numbers and symbols appearing out of thin air in the middle of the transparent displays.

And as those numbers continued to be "arranged and combined", a golden carp slowly took shape, as if the Creator was fabricating life out of thin air, which was quite miraculous!

Under the control of the technicians, the carp came alive, swimming back and forth in the air, as if the air was a swimming ocean!

"What the hell? So cool?"

For a moment, there were bursts of exclamations at the scene, and the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee were stunned and shocked!

They suddenly had a clear understanding of Chen Fei's previous plan.

If at the last moment of the lighting ceremony, a soaring and hovering fire phoenix suddenly appeared in the sky, what would it look like?

At this moment, looking at the carp swimming in the air, they seemed to have seen the entire audience being stunned!

Zhang Yimou was very surprised, "Is this holographic projection technology?"

"Yes! This is holographic projection!"

Chen Fei nodded, his eyes sparkling.

What others saw was the flaming phoenix soaring over the Bird's Nest in the future, but what he saw was the terrifying box office performance that continued to soar after the release of "Inception"!

The parachute was quickly sent over, and the rehearsal continued. The "base jump" that had been performed countless times once again received bursts of exclamations from the scene!

Seeing Chen Fei successfully landing at the exit again and again, Zhang Yimou finally approved his plan and agreed to let him perform a low-altitude skydiving at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

As for other leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee, they did not have any objections to this matter.

The big guy above has already spoken. Chen Fei and Zhang Yimou will be responsible for the entire ignition process, and no one else is allowed to interfere!

~

On the 8th, China Film Group announced early in the morning that the total domestic box office of "Kung Fu Panda" officially exceeded 2 million yuan.

As an imported film, this achievement is enough to stand out from the crowd!

At the same time, the capital has officially ushered in its most lively moment.

Almost all reporters from the state media went to the Bird's Nest, while reporters from entertainment newspapers gathered at the airport and began to guard the celebrities who came to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The headlines on the portal are constantly changing and updated every moment. Almost all of them are big-name stars, directors, and producers at home and abroad.

A large number of fans arrived as scheduled, following the reporters and watching celebrities appear from the exit.

In order to prevent congestion, the airport specially opened a professional channel for these public figures, as if they were participating in an awards ceremony.

"What the fuck? Kobe! It's Kobe!"

"Who is the one next to Liu Tianwang? Is she Tianwang's sister-in-law? She looks so gentle, and not as unbearable as the outside world says?"

"Oh! My God! Look! It's Iron Man and the others!"

"Little Plum? Hahaha! I didn't expect to see Leonardo!"

"What the fuck? Even the leading actress of "Twilight" is here. I really like her so much. She is so beautiful."

"..."

The Capital Airport side is very lively, but the Bird's Nest side is not much worse than that side.

"Lao Su? Have you received Natasha and Bruce? Quickly put them into the hotel first, stop them from running around, give them all the tickets, be sure to keep them..."

While Chen Fei was on the phone, he was still communicating with the special effects team to ensure that there was no discrepancy between the Fire Phoenix's route and the time of Nirvana.

He was so busy today that his feet never touched the ground!

In addition to participating in the chorus of "Beijing Welcomes You", he also has to ensure that the itineraries of the guests he invites are correct, and at the same time, he has to check the integrity of wires, parachutes, and 3D holographic projection equipment...

A lot of work is driving him crazy! "Run slower and be careful not to fall."

Chen Long's figure suddenly came from the side and behind.

His reputation was quite high today. Under the official invitation, he specially came to the Olympic Sports Center to hold an album launch conference.

He is also the only Chinese male artist in the world to be officially invited to release an Olympic album, and his influence in the circle is unparalleled.

"Don't worry, you can't fall."

Chen Fei responded from afar, and left the scene in a hurry, as if flying.

He had to go and talk to the teachers who were hanging Wia, and he would have to raise himself higher when the time came, otherwise the system might decide that the challenge had failed.

...

In the afternoon, spectators with invitation letters gathered outside the Bird's Nest, waiting for the moment to enter.

Girls Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Tang Yan stood together, forming a beautiful scenery and attracting the attention of many reporters!

"Sissi, look, those are Zhang Ziyi and her fiancé. Their styles don't seem to match."

"Hey? Why do you have no control over your mouth and can you say anything?"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Shu Chang, but still looked in the direction of her finger.

During her time filming in Hollywood, she heard a lot about this international chapter's deeds, which simply refreshed her outlook and limits!

Jing Tian also came over with the idea of ​​eating melon, "Who is the male singer next to Zhang Ziyi?"

"Wang Feng!"

Liu Yifei's words were concise and to the point. When she was filming "Shoplifters" before, she heard many people on the crew gossiping. Wang Feng seemed to like Zhang Ziyi, but others didn't like him.

It's not a good person to take advantage of someone's engaged fiancée!

Just as she was thinking to herself, she heard Yang Mi and Jing Tian coming together to chat.

"Sister, is your movie "Sword of Sword III" almost finished?"

"Come on, it will be done by the end of this month." Yang Mi replied with a smile, and then asked: "What about you? When is "The Legend of Sun Tzu" expected to be completed?"

Yang Mi is truly envious of this school girl who graduated in 07.

As soon as she debuted, she was supported by financial sponsors, who released records, albums, movies, and TV series. The resources were so rich that she couldn't even imagine it!

She originally thought Liu Yifei was lucky enough, but now it seems that this school girl is even luckier!

"I'm afraid the company Starlight is opened just for her..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Jing Tian replied with a smile: "I don't know either. Teachers Zhang Fengyi, You Yong, and Li Zixiong have very tight schedules, and it is difficult to fix the shooting time..."

Jing Tian said carelessly, completely unaware of the uncontrollable envy in Yang Mi's eyes.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei next to her showed a faint smile. After all, she is no longer in the TV industry. With the help of her reputation as a "flying girl", she has begun to launch a fierce attack on Hollywood!

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Chen Fei's strong support.

She is a grateful person, so she has decided that unless Chen Fei takes the initiative to drive her away, she will never leave on his own initiative!

~

Tonight's Bird's Nest gathered a full 100,000 spectators.

Walking into the venue, the noisy atmosphere instantly ignited the excitement of the Olympic Games.

Seeing Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​and Shu Chang walking towards the core position in the front row, the faces of Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi who were left in the back row were filled with envy.

"It's great to have someone to support you!" Tang Yanyi said pointedly.

The two people next to her didn't answer her words, they were just thinking silently.

Yang Mi secretly made up her mind, "I must work hard, I must succeed, and I must become capital. If there is a next time, I must sit in the front row and take a central position!"

Just the admission session lasted for as long as an hour and a half.

A steady stream of people from the music scene, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Province, Europe, America, and Southeast Asia... poured into the Bird's Nest.

~

After everything was ready, the opening ceremony finally began.

In the front row, Natasha looked around curiously, with a puzzled face, "Why didn't I see Fei? Where did he go?"

Su Guohai took his wife and children to accompany these friends who came all the way from abroad.

He smiled and said: "Director Chen has been selected as one of the Olympic torchbearers, and you will be able to see him on the stage later."

Olympic torch bearer?

Bruce shouted excitedly: "Oh my god! Can you hold a torch to light a fire? That would be so cool!"

The opening design of the Olympic Games, which has been kept secret for several months, has finally been officially unveiled to audiences around the world.

In the "Ceremony" session, 2008 people beat the fou!

In the "Fireworks" segment, 29 footprints appeared together!

In the "Admission" session, Yao Min and Xiao Lin Hao!

Shock, touching, inheritance...all the elements were displayed one by one at the Bird's Nest venue.

When the lighting of the main torch began, the scene suddenly burst into warm cheers!

Xu Haifeng, Li Xiaoshuang, Li Ning, Zhan Xugang, Sun Jinfang...

When the last torch was lit in Chen Fei's hand, an introduction to him suddenly sounded in the venue:

"The person who took over the last torch is IRONMAN Triathlon World Championship champion, famous Chinese athlete, director, actor, and screenwriter Chen Fei. Let us witness the wonderful moment when the main torch is lit!"

A raging fire ignited!

Chen Fei held the torch high, soared into the sky under the gaze of everyone, and walked along the Bird's Nest venue.

Behind him, an ink painting slowly unfolded. Five thousand years of cultural heritage truly began to bloom at this moment, symbolizing that a bright future would officially come!

"boom!"

When the main torch was lit, the scene suddenly burst into warm cheers!

Countless people were filled with tears and screaming wildly, wishing that this moment worth remembering forever would be suspended!

However, just when everyone thought this was the climax of the night, the real excitement had just arrived.

When the raging fire soared into the sky, suddenly, a golden light shot up into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky and covering all the stars!

In everyone's shocked eyes, a phoenix covered in fire soared into the sky from the huge main torch!

In an instant, the sky was completely dyed red by the fire!

The phoenix vibrated its broad wings, and its fiery red feathers shone with golden light, just like the sun falling into the mortal world, slowly starting to hover over the bird's nest.

"Phoenix" has been a symbol of auspiciousness and rebirth since ancient times. According to ancient legends, it will burn itself out and be reborn every five hundred years. The process is like a phoenix bathing in fire.

The moment of "rebirth from the ashes" is the most splendid moment of the phoenix and the moment when its vitality is most vigorous!

"Qiang Qiang!"

The high-pitched and passionate screams resounded through the sky!

That is a declaration, a declaration that shows its endless vitality to the world!

This scene not only represents a praise of life, but also an ode to the spirit of perseverance and never giving up.

The phoenix bathes in the fire and soars into the sky. Every time it flaps its wings, it is full of strength and hope, as if telling the world: "No matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, as long as we have faith and determination, we, China, can usher in great success." The rebirth and glory of life!”

At this moment, the scene was silent.

Countless people looked up at this shocking scene, dumbfounded and speechless. Their hearts seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, causing their heartbeats to accelerate and blood to rush through their blood vessels, as if they were about to burst out of their bodies!

Many people try to express this feeling in words, but at this moment they find that no words can describe this strong shock. They can only feel, experience and be excited silently...

After circling the field for a week, the phoenix returned to the top of the main torch and once again disappeared into the blazing fire.

Finally, someone slowly came back to his senses.

Shu Chang rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief, "Was that a phoenix just now?"

"Okay... I guess so?" Jing Tian next to her was a little unsure. She almost thought she was dazzled!

Liu Yifei on the side was also full of surprise. She never expected that she would be able to see such a wonderful scene at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

At this time, Shu Chang's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Why is the cry of the phoenix 'Qiang Qiang'?"

Somehow, she subconsciously said, "The phoenix is ​​flying and singing in harmony."

However, at this moment, another burst of exclamations suddenly sounded from the scene, "Look, someone is flying!"

In an instant, many people turned their attention to the sky above the Bird's Nest, and saw a group of red umbrellas slowly unfolding and landing in the center of the venue.

Above the parachute, a five-star red flag fluttered in the wind and slowly landed in full view of the public, creating a beautiful effect that complemented the ink painting.

"Oh! It's Fei! He's controlling the parachute! He's the one who summoned the phoenix!"

Bruce screamed with excitement, unable to suppress his inner excitement and shock. At this moment, he even regarded Chen Fei as a god-like figure!

Next to him, Natasha, Amanda Seyfried, Natalie Dormer, and Stewart all had their mouths open, their faces filled with speechless shock!

"Oppa is so awesome!"

Lin Yuner and Li Zhien were also among the crowd at this time, watching Chen Fei land from the bird's nest until he landed smoothly. The two girls hugged each other and screamed excitedly.

This scene perfectly fits their image of a "universal hero"!

And as the ignition session passes, there will be more exciting programs waiting for the 100,000 viewers.

"Words", "Drama", "Silk Road", "Ritual and Music"...the five thousand years of Chinese cultural heritage are presented one by one tonight.

Chen Fei returned with great honor and returned to the auditorium.

Han Sanping looked at him curiously and asked, "Is everything done?"

"Well, it's all done. Fortunately, nothing went wrong."

By this time, all his tasks were over, and the pressure and burden in his heart were finally relieved.

"What's going on with that phoenix?"

Ning Hao looked over excitedly, with surprise and confusion on his face. The scene of the phoenix flying just now was deeply engraved in his mind, and he couldn't get it out of his mind for a long time!

"I found some top foreign special effects companies to create the effect. How do you think it is? Is it very good?"

"This can no longer be described with the simple word 'good'." Han Sanping said with emotion, "If it can be used in film production, I am afraid it will trigger a violent movie-watching craze!"

Chen Fei smiled slightly, "Director Han, you can look forward to it. This kind of picture will be used in "Inception" released next year. Don't be too surprised then."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone around him lit up, and their anticipation was instantly high.

The three-and-a-half-hour opening ceremony performance finally came to a successful conclusion. As fireworks exploded in the sky, China officially opened a new chapter!

(End of this chapter)
