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

Chapter 456 Director Wu points his sword at "Titanic"! 7 million new achievements! No. 2 box office in Chinese film history!

Wu Yu has been very unhappy these past two days, because no matter what time, as long as he turns on the news, he can see all kinds of news about Chen Fei.

I saw him being high-spirited at the press conference, seeing him once again win the annual global box office championship, seeing him occupying the top spot on the trending list every moment...

Although he himself has won the annual global box office championship, and he was the only Chinese at that time, and he used this to leave his name on the Avenue of Stars.

But all that has long since become a thing of the past.

There is only one internationally recognized Chinese director now, and that is Chen Fei!
Looking at this name, Wu Yu thought of being crushed at the Venice Awards Ceremony, so much so that every time he thought of it, he would itch with hatred!
"I will never admit defeat."

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

After experiencing the notoriety of "Red Cliff", he has learned from the failure when filming "Wind Talkers", and now he has accumulated a lot of experience.

Next, he will challenge blockbusters again!

"The Taiping" is the name of his new movie, and its story is based on the Taiping crash known as the "Chinese version of the Titanic".

Wherever Leonardo is present, Matt Damon is usually there, but this guy rushed to see the Iron Suit as soon as he arrived, looking like he couldn't put it down.

This is Chen Fei's goal. When he retires, he will buy an island, and then sit back and wait for the money to flow into his card.

In the evening, Chen Fei drove Leonardo and Matt Damon to a bar in the center of New York City.

"Understood, what happened to Zhang Yimou's new movie?"

Perhaps due to the influence of the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm, there have been a lot of people visiting the crew these days, and the only one who can scream for Chen Fei to treat is Leonardo. .

After receiving a large amount of funds from the Emperor, he also learned the strategies used by Zhang Yimou when preparing "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", and actually shouted a slogan for domestic entertainment.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the slogan was even spread to Hollywood.

He will use these 4 million to make an Eastern version of "Titanic"!
By then, he will not be shy at all about "Beautiful Heart", "Inception", and even "Avatar".

Of course, he will definitely not be able to guarantee to Matt Damon that I can get you an Oscar winner.

"OK."

DiCaprio shrugged, "They wanted to ask me to be the leading actor, but they seemed to be intimidated by the price I offered."

When Xiao Lizi said this, Chen Fei really thought it made sense.

……

During the filming, Chen Fei took the time to check Disney's current market value online.

……

Natasha is doing public relations. The biggest competitor this time is "The King's Speech", which is backed by Weinstein International Pictures.

He muttered in a low voice, not even considering that Disney has been established for decades, and the accumulated copyright income is simply terrifying!
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Disney does not open for three years, it can still live very well with various peripherals and copyrights.

Or just build a large playground on the island, throw in all the copyrights you have, and build the world's largest fun island.

If he dared to say these words, Xiao Lizi would go berserk on the spot!
The Oscar winner is no less important to Leonardo DiCaprio than those Victoria's Secret Angels with different styles.

"Why do I want to treat you?" Chen Fei didn't understand.

$756 billion...

Robert Downey Jr. responded and ran over to help.

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy!

Chen Fei doesn't have a good impression of Harvey Weinstein, an old guy with a shoehorned face. He has already told Natasha in advance that no matter how much money he spends, he must put old Harvey down!
Compared with the prosperous Waltons Pictures, Weinstein is obviously far behind. If compared to his public relations ability, Chen Fei is quite confident.

He could guess it without even asking. At this time, there was probably a lot of ridicule in the mainland.

After filming "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》After being severely beaten, Lu Chuan had become the object of ridicule in the circle, but he was too stupid to know it.

"Okay, let's go have a drink together tonight."

"Tsk, there's still a long way to go. No, we have to work hard to catch up."

"Fei, you have to treat me tonight!"

But at this time, Xiao Lizi suddenly said: "By the way, Fei, do you know the movie "The Flowers of War" (Jinling Thirteen Hairpins)?"

Galloping Horse has decided to invest in him, and he will naturally not refuse.

Chen Fei shouted: "Tony, help him try it on so that he can feel the taste of Iron Man."

"The market value of your company has soared to 350 billion U.S. dollars. You guys must be making a lot of money. Shouldn't you treat me to a treat?"

"Fei, when is "The Hunt" going to be released?" Matt Damon is quite concerned about the movie he stars in.

And Chen Fei's first thought after hearing this was, "What a shame! I'm afraid I don't even know how I died!"

The film has been screened on a small scale in New York, Los Angeles and other places, and has been submitted for Oscar selection.

Chen Fei looked at Leonardo curiously, not understanding why he heard the name of this movie from him.

On the other side, Lu Chuan, who was equally ambitious, also started to struggle.

"Let's wait until after the Oscars are over."

"Adhering to the purpose of giving opportunities to newcomers, "The King's Feast" will next use a nationwide audition to determine the actor who will play the role of "Yu Ji"."

"It's you who did it!"

"Oh?!" There is such an inside story?

"What's your price?"

"$2500 million, plus 5% global share."

1.6 million yuan?

Do I need to add a box office account?
Chen Fei seemed to be able to picture Zhang Weiping running away immediately after hearing the price.

He asked further: "How much is Bill's price?"

"The cap price is 2000 million dollars, and there is no box office share."

“Awesome, I directly took away one-fifth of the total investment!”

Chen Fei smacked his lips, feeling inexplicably emotional.

These top actors in Hollywood are really ruthless. As long as they have a few big-selling commercial movies, their net worth and salary will keep rising!
"What's this?" Xiao Lizi glared at him, "Isn't your current director's fee also a sky-high price?"

In the current Hollywood market, Chen Fei's directorial fees are at the same level as those of Spielberg and Cameron.

The basic fee starts at US$2000 million, and the box office share is at least 10%, which is simply horribly "expensive"!
But because of this, they almost only make films written by themselves or produced by their own company, and few outside film companies ask them to direct films.

There is no way, the director's fee is too high, I really can't afford it! …

After sending away Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, Chen Fei entered filming mode again.

During this period, he received news that the global box office of "The Twilight Saga 5" totaled US$12.7 billion, and that the North American box office of "The Hunger Games" exceeded US$4 million.

As for the Twilight series, it has officially come to an end and has completely withdrawn from the global film market.

Chen Fei didn't need to worry about the subsequent division of accounts, he could just sit back and wait to receive the money.

However, there is a very strange phenomenon in "The Hunger Games". Although the North American box office exceeded 4 million U.S. dollars, the total box office in dozens of other countries only amounted to 2.37 million U.S. dollars.

"This movie doesn't seem to be very popular abroad?" Natasha was a little distressed.

"It's normal." Chen Fei took the time to explain to her, "Compared to "Harry Potter" and "Twilight", "The Hunger Games" has a low audience abroad, and the original work is only popular in North America. popular.

Without any widespread publicity, it is not bad to get 2.37 million U.S. dollars. Waiting for word-of-mouth fermentation, the subsequent second and third parts may have good results. "

"Oh, I see."

Natasha nodded in understanding.

In Chen Fei's expectation, this movie should also earn a lot of box office after it is released in China. Unfortunately, in order to make way for several domestic Lunar New Year movies, the release date has been postponed a lot.

"Natasha! Watch your moves!"

While talking on the phone, Chen Fei did not forget to pay attention to the filming status of the actors on the set.

He is not only the director, but also the martial arts instructor of the crew.

Although this kind of science fiction film does not need to show superb action skills like martial arts and kung fu films, Chen Fei still strives for excellence in filming in order to present the visual effects.

Each actor's fighting moves are designed by him, focusing on being handsome, smooth, and superb!
……

The three major European film festivals and the Oscars are always the focus of attention among insiders.

The Oscar nominations will be announced on the 25th this year, but it will be earlier at the Berlin Film Festival.

Unfortunately, several films sent by the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Taiwan were rejected. This year, none of the Chinese-language films were able to go to Berlin to participate in the awards.

In the movie market at the beginning of January, "Let the Bullets Fly" still dominated the film market, followed by "If You Are the One 2" far behind.

"Laughing Out Loud" has been offline, and what is unexpected is that the box office of this movie is 500 million more than "The Orphan of Zhao"!
As soon as Chen Fei received the news, he started to wonder, how much money would Xingmei lose this time?

In addition, the opening ceremony of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" directed by Zhang Yimou was also held in the capital!
Christian Bale, Ni Na, and Tong Dawei officially appeared as actors in the play.

At the same time, Zhang Yimou's Thirteen Hairpins, who had been selected for a whole year, also officially appeared in front of the media, which can be said to have attracted a lot of attention!
As the new "Mou Girl", Ni Ni became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

Zhou Dongyu, the previous Mou Girl, has successfully signed a contract with New Picture and started preparing for the Nortel exam. The future is already bright.

Now, Ni Na, who succeeded her, has received better resources. As expected, another red star will rise in the circle, but she doesn't know how far she can go.

However, according to rumors, the filming of "Thirteen Hairpins" did not seem to go smoothly.

Someone heard Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping arguing backstage, and they don't know if it was true or not?

……

Time flies by.

On January 1, the latest news came from China.

The total box office of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" officially exceeded 7 million yuan. Jiang Wen became the No. 2 Chinese-language commercial film director after Chen Fei!

As China Film Report released the latest data, at the same time, press releases from the media were impatiently released, directly occupying the front pages of major websites.

""Let the Bullets Fly" is another classic in the history of Chinese-language films!"

"7 million yuan! Second in the Chinese film box office list, director Jiang Wen's transformation has been a great success!"

""The Great Earthquake" was brutally suppressed again, and Feng Xiaogang became a stepping stone for others one after another..."

Because the key period has expired, "Let the Bullets Fly" was successfully released, with a box office revenue of 7 million.

On the other hand, "If You Are the One 2", which is still in theaters, is still hovering above 4 million, and the daily new additions have dropped to only 30.

Although Feng Xiaogang was very reluctant, he was helpless.

Especially the press releases on the Internet would occasionally pull out his "Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2" for a spin, which made him extremely annoyed, but he still had no solution.

He dared to criticize Zhang Weiping and Chen Kai, but he couldn't muster any strength when facing Jiang Wen and Chen Fei.

The relationship with the former was not bad, and the latter was so awesome that he did not dare to offend him.

With no choice, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry it on.

Originally, he had hoped that after "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, maybe "If You Are the One 2" could use it to get an erection, but... "The Hunger Games" made a strong entrance!

On January 1, China Film announced the first-day box office of "The Hunger Games."

4547 million!
Domestic audiences have a natural affinity for Hollywood movies directed by Chen Fei, so there were many people present to support the movie. Even though the number of films scheduled was not large, the attendance rate was extremely high.

On the other hand, "If You Are the One 2" is miserable here, with daily new additions falling directly to 15!
The big and small kings found Feng Xiaogang, and after some discussion, they simply withdrew from the theater.

The next day, the media were like cats that smelled the fishy smell. They pounced on it and took a few bites, and then eagerly issued a press release.

""If You Are the One 2" failed to reach its full term and the box office revenue was 4.6 million."

"Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year myth has come to an end again. He was kicked out by Jiang Wen just as he was holding his second place at the box office."

"Director Feng's sequel beats "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Laughing River", but loses to "Let the Bullets Fly". The king of the Lunar New Year movies in 10 belongs to Jiang Wen..."

The news on the Internet is abuzz with all kinds of praise and praise, which is dizzying.

Chen Fei received an invitation to the celebration banquet from Jiang Wen, but it was a pity that he couldn't make it back. Every day of downtime here cost at least three million, and he really couldn't afford to waste it!
However, even though others did not go, they still received red envelopes from the celebration banquet.

The 2000 million borrowed was also returned by Jiang Wen immediately.

~

Time flies and comes to January 1th, the 25rd Academy Awards announced the nomination list.

The assistant immediately gave Chen Fei the complete list.

Looking around…

Waltons Pictures is a winner!
