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

Chapter 454 Specializes in trapping Bangbang and Xiaoli, I have a big secret... The acquisition is officially exposed!
The box office results of "The Hunger Games" did not disappoint Chen Fei.

Especially after he revised the script, removing the dross and retaining the essence, it showed very strong box office growth.

The box office on the first day was US$7726.3 million.

The box office the next day was US$6053.4 million.

The three-day box office was US$4487.7 million.

In the first three days of the weekend, it closed at US$1.82 million!
When this result was placed in front of the six major Hollywood companies, Disney and 12th Century Fox, which were also involved in the competition in December, were immediately confused.

If you are so strong, you will make us look like rubbish!

However, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only lament and lament when facing the reality.

The movie box office is different from the Oscar ceremony. The latter can be obtained through multi-party operations, but the former can only be obtained by the support of movie fans by going to the theater.

There are only a few days left until the end of December, and the six major universities have already made up their minds to compete again in 12.

As for the glory of 2010, let’s leave it to the shameless person Walton Pictures!

The filming of "Avengers" is actually not complicated, especially after a year-long preparation period, the preparations for various props and scenes have already been arranged very well.

Therefore, Chen Fei only needs to take out the pictures in his mind and let the protagonists show them.

The initial filming location has always been in the SHIELD building, and the plot slowly unfolds around the prop "Cosmic Cube".

The special effects team of Industrial Light and Magic will cooperate throughout the process, and Chen Fei even used the equipment that Cameron used when filming "Avatar".

While filming, the finished film effect will appear simultaneously on the big screen next to you.

Although the imaging effect is not particularly good, it has greatly deepened the actors' understanding of the scene and plot, and has also been greatly improved in interpretation.

"Loki, you are a villain. When you use the scepter to brainwash, your facial expression should be sinister and vicious, not vulgar. Adjust your facial expression!"

Chen Fei habitually calls actors by the names of characters in movies.

There was a burst of laughter all around. Tom Hiddleston is just a funny guy in real life, and it always takes a lot of effort to adjust.

However, once he enters the state, he will quickly show the effect Chen Fei wants.

Perhaps because 2010 is coming to an end, everyone wants to go back and have a good year, so the work progress has naturally been accelerated.

On the 28th, Ning Hao called and said that the post-production period of "Painted Skin 2" was officially over and the finished film was released.

"Go and take it to the film bureau yourself."

Chen Fei had no intention of going back and reviewing it. He had already seen the finished film, and he knew the blessings of the special effects, so there was no need to put in more effort at all.

"okay."

Ning Hao responded and followed up personally.

Many media are always paying attention to the news about Feiyue Film and Television, so the next day, the news spread online.

""Painted Skin 2" is freshly released, and director Ning Hao personally escorts it."

"The first domestic 3D fantasy masterpiece, so stay tuned!"

"It is reported that this film has four investors..."

After the news was exposed, Han Sanping's phone call came as expected at noon that day.

The first part of "Painted Skin" laid a good foundation, both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office results, which made several investors very satisfied.

And now the second part is about to be launched grandly, and it will use the most popular 3D mode at the moment. If nothing else happens, making money is inevitable!

"Director Han, I have to trouble you about Long Biao. I heard that many old guys are very dissatisfied with me..."

"Don't worry!" Han Sanping patted her chest and said in a very confident tone: "Whoever dares to get in trouble with you will have trouble with China Film Group."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Fei immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Why are you pulling China Film? Isn't it just to avoid various problems with review and release details?

Han Sanping is indeed a good partner. Anyway, so far, there is nothing that he can't solve after taking action.

The two of them had already discussed the movie's schedule before, so it would be released during the summer vacation.

And now we are talking on the phone about copyright.

"Both South Korea and the island country are very interested in the remake rights, mainly CJ and Toho Co., Ltd., and they have called and asked many times."

"Since they want it, let's sell it, set a good price, and make a lot of money from them!"

"Haha, that's what I think too. Since you agree, then I'll set the price and give them a lot of money!"

"Okay, no need to be polite to those sticks and little days..."

The two of them had the same opinion, and there was no discussion about focusing on an outsider.

Perhaps it was because of the mention of South Korea just now. As soon as he finished the call with Han Sanping, Chen Fei received a call from South Korea.

The call was from Zhang Changyuan. As soon as the call was connected, I heard a howling from the other side, "Exploded! Exploded! Completely exploded!"

Chen Fei was confused, "What exploded? Was Shou'er bombed?"

"???" After calming down for a moment, Zhang Changyuan explained: "No, no, no! It's the box office of "Train to Busan" that exploded!"

"What? The movie has been released?"

"That's right! You didn't know?" Zhang Changyuan felt aggrieved, "I just informed you last month that "Train to Busan" will be officially released on the 22nd of this month."

"Okay, I was busy and forgot." Chen Fei shrugged and asked, "How much is the box office?"

The grievance in Zhang Changyuan's tone disappeared instantly, and he said enthusiastically: "After the release of "Train to Busan", it has continuously set new records in the pre-sale box office, premiere day box office, and single-day box office in the history of South Korean films!
Approximately 535 million people watched the movie in its first week of release, and it became the weekend box office champion. It is expected to become another blockbuster with tens of millions of viewers in the history of South Korean movies..."

"It looks like we can hold a celebration party?"

Chen Fei could hear Zhang Changyuan's excitement on the other end of the phone. The success of this movie meant that his position as president was secure.

"Boss! Do you have time to come to the celebration party?"

"Let's talk about it then."

Chen Fei did not directly agree to him. South Korea was just a box office strategic plan of his. No matter how high the number of moviegoers was, it was not as important as the Chinese market and the North American market.

His main task at the moment is still filming "Avengers".

"Then if you have time, be sure to contact me. This movie is really great. It is the best script I have ever seen in my life. With such an excellent box office, I must hold a grand celebration party..."

After the flattery, Zhang Changyuan carefully ended the call. "call!"

After heaving a sigh of relief and confirming that the call had been hung up, Zhang Changyuan's slightly bent waist straightened up immediately, "Axi, I finally kept this position."

He walked out of the office with his head held high, glanced at the sexy female secretary, and gave her a direct look.

He was a little scared by Chen Fei just now, and now he has to let go.

Three minutes later, he walked out of the lounge in a happy mood, feeling that his future was bright!
Chen Fei, who is far away in Hollywood, does not really ignore the South Korean market.

After finishing the day's shooting, he went online to check various movie reviews about "Train to Busan".

The movie's good reputation and box office performance have brought it widespread discussion.

"Irish Times" film critic Tara Brady commented: "Like George A. Romero's previous film "Night of the Living Dead," "Train to Busan" uses zombie elements to present keen social observation and intellectual consciousness."

Maggie Lee, a film critic for Variety, believes: "Although the film's criticism of the violent department tends to be toned down, the separation between humans and zombies aptly symbolizes the gap between rich and poor in society."

Adam Lowes, a film critic from the British film media "CineVue", praised: "Train to Busan is the best genre film of the year!"

On the other hand, the film has naturally been questioned by some, such as illogical logic, too cumbersome plot, unreasonable setting, etc.

In the eyes of all sophisticated parties, zombies simply do not exist, and the scenes and settings that serve the plot in the film are too idealistic and magical to be established...

In response to this, Chen Fei could only say: You are right!

There is nothing to argue about. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. If you like it, just watch it. If you don’t, just don’t watch it.

Movies such as "Inception," "The Twilight Saga," and "Avatar" are essentially full of fantasy.

If all had to be argued from a logical perspective, then the vast majority of science fiction and fantasy films should not exist in this world!

……

……

On the last day of December, a lot of good news came from China.

The special effects work of "Painting Wall" was officially concluded. Chen Jiashang went to Dot Eye Digital in person. After a day of review, both parties expressed that the cooperation was a complete success.

Wang Changtian called and expressed his gratitude to Dot Eye Digital for saving them a lot of money. If there is any special effects business next time, he will definitely continue to use Dot Eye Digital to do it.

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome." Chen Fei chuckled and joked in a joking tone: "But next time, I won't have the privilege of discounting. There are so many people, so many mouths, and equipment maintenance. All these expenses are Not small."

"Don't worry, I will make you a lot of money next time, haha!"

After the call with Wang Changtian ended, Chen Fei received another call from Media Asia.

""Anti-Corruption Storm" is finished."

"Okay, I'll say hello to China Film Group and choose a more suitable schedule."

Chen Fei definitely couldn't go to the finals banquet, so he could only remind them on the phone that there were several problems that needed to be avoided in the subsequent editing. As for the rest, they could just let them do whatever they wanted.

During this period, Yang Mi called for "transformation" and bought a lot of press releases for marketing.

Chen Fei was a little confused at first, what kind of transformation would she take? It wasn't until the news of the launch of "Far Cry" came out that he suddenly realized it.

It turns out that I want to transform to the "sexy" route!

Bikini, swimsuit, S-shaped body, bold to let yourself go...

Although no photos have leaked out on the Internet, these words alone are enough to make those old male fans ready to move.

Chen Fei suddenly thought of a children's song.

"I have a big secret, a big power..."

……

New Year's Day is finally here.

China’s Spring Festival falls in February, but the United States regards the last day of each year as its own country’s “Spring Festival.”

The "Avengers" crew took three days off.

Chen Fei is not the kind of person who just wants to satisfy everyone's mood of reunion so that he can participate in the next filming in a fuller state.

However, others were free, but he was extremely busy!
"War for the Planet of the Apes: Endgame" directed by Catherine has been completed.

As the last part in the series, Chen Fei still attaches great importance to it.

As soon as he got the finished film back, he convened a meeting with the post-production team. While reviewing the film, he also informed the post-production team of the final film effect he wanted.

In addition, the TV series "Shameless" led by Marvel Entertainment was also completed, so he spent another whole day reviewing the finished film and gave a lot of revisions and post-editing advice. suggestion.

On the third day, January 1, Volton Pictures held a press conference, and he attended the press conference as chief content executive.

At the press conference, facing many media in the audience, Natasha announced two things as CEO.

“On January 2011, 1, Waltons Pictures officially acquired DreamWorks Animation, founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg, for US$3 billion, and enjoys the distribution, production, and distribution of all film copyrights under his company. Sales, distribution and other rights, at this point, DreamWorks Animation will officially be reorganized as a subsidiary of Volton Pictures.

At the same time, on this day, Waltons Pictures acquired Lucasfilm, founded by George Lucas, for US$39.5 billion, and enjoyed the distribution, production, sale, and distribution of all film copyrights under his company. and other rights and interests. At this point, Lucasfilm will also be officially reorganized as a subsidiary of Volton Pictures..."

Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience!
However, before reporters could react, Chen Fei announced the subsequent film and television development plans of the two companies as chief content executive.

"In the next few years, DreamWorks Animation will be mainly responsible for the production and copyright development of works such as "Kung Fu Panda 3", "How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Frozen".

Lucasfilm will be mainly responsible for the production and copyright development of "Pacific Rim" and "Interstellar"..."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and all the reporters widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief!

Spending $74.5 billion to acquire DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm?

No less than six film projects announced?
what? Your Waltons Pictures is about to take off!
After a moment of silence, all the media and reporters in the audience could not sit still, and they all rushed to the stage like crazy.

Microphones were inserted one after another, blocking Chen Fei and Natasha completely, and then a steady stream of questions came to the two of them!

"Can you reveal the acquisition plan?"

"Are all the copyrights owned by both companies included in the acquisition?"

"In what manner was the $74.5 billion provided?"

"What is the total box office revenue of Waltons Pictures this year? Have all the profit sharing been received?"

“Do you have any plans to become the seventh largest in Hollywood?”

"..."
