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

Chapter 529: The immortal was raped by a pig? The sword points to August! The box office war is about to begin!

The premiere of "The Man" was over, and on the way back to the company, Chen Fei saw the news about applying for an extension key for "Titanic" from the Internet.

"You've already spent a billion dollars, and you still want to apply for a chicken?"

He curled his lips and suddenly had a deeper understanding of the greed of 20th Century Fox and Paramount.

This year, the mainland's film and television entertainment industry has suddenly fallen into dire straits!

The film side is facing a strong impact from imported Hollywood films, while on the entertainment side, South Korean idol artists are also wreaking havoc.

EXO, which had just debuted, immediately became popular in the mainland. The popularity on Weibo was so high that those crazy fans contributed no one knows how much money and resources they had.

The mainland film and television market is in urgent need of a top-notch masterpiece to restore its past "glory".

On the Hong Kong side, due to several recent incidents, Hong Kong Entertainment has been suppressed and cannot lift its head.

At this critical juncture, the "King of Sunglasses" carries the expectations of countless Hong Kong entertainment media and filmmakers and makes a strong debut!

No one wants this movie to be a success more urgently than her!
Since her debut, her starting point has been too high.

But now it's good, the juicy cabbage seems to have been eaten by a wild boar!

Chen Fei shook his head, looking slightly helpless.

There are a lot of discussions online, and there are also many people who are interested in it offline.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm telling you! There is definitely something wrong with these two people! Finally! The truth is revealed!"

It is a great honor to star in this classic movie. I believe that with the efforts of all our cast and crew, this movie will surely shine..."

In the villa, Liu Yifei was directly blocked by her mother at the bedroom door: "You... you two are not really together, are you?"

He didn't go out of his way to explain anything. He just promoted the movie "Your Name" on his personal Weibo.

……

That's not right, it can't be called a wild boar. After all, Chen Fei is much stronger than that wild boar in terms of image and ability.

In addition, she also trusted Chen Fei quite a bit, so she completely let her daughter go.

"Fuck! These guys who take things out of context are really boring."

During those years when I was developing in Hollywood, I didn't know how to be modest. I behaved quite unruly in China and offended many female stars from the mainland.

Liu Yifei acted quickly and directly reposted the post on Weibo, and also posted a still photo.

After years of preparation, plus two and a half years of filming, "The Grandmaster" has finally been successfully finalized.

Zhang Ziyi's actions were ridiculed and scorned by many people in the industry, but she didn't take it seriously.

The comment section below exploded!

"..."

After returning to the mainland from Hollywood, this "The Grandmaster" can be regarded as her return.

The scenes of Huang Xiaoming performing on stage to promote the movie were all filmed and circulated, causing quite a stir among fans.

"August 8, Chinese Valentine's Day, we will see you there."

In the photo, she and Chen Fei were lying together on a green grassy hillside. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be deep love flowing in their eyes.

On the red carpet of the premiere, the scene of Chen Fei holding Liu Yifei's hand and leaving was intercepted separately, coupled with Chen Fei's words "We are indeed together in the movie", which directly triggered a discussion in the circle sensation!
This group of unscrupulous media directly removed the four words "in the movie", leaving only "we are indeed together".

Under such circumstances, she urgently needed a high-quality film resource to lay a foundation for herself.

Liu Xiaoli's eyes were very complicated.

"That's right! My angel is still young and will definitely not fall in love. This is just to promote the movie!"

Some people say that he is really willing to go all out, while others say that the older he gets, the more greasy he becomes, which is simply unbearable to look at!
In addition, the "look at the pictures and tell the story" technique has also been used by some unscrupulous media.

One paragraph, coupled with a picture of holding hands, the sensation caused is simply terrifying!
When Chen Fei saw the news on the Internet, he was shocked to find that the entertainment gossip news about his relationship with Liu Yifei had reached the top of Weibo's hot search list.

After her daughter began to frequently go to Hollywood to film, she no longer followed her all day long like before. Instead, she chose to let her go and have her own adventures outside.

As soon as Chen Fei logged into Weibo, he saw Zhang Ziyi's promotional slogan at a glance: "Here, I would like to announce good news to everyone. "The Grandmaster" is scheduled to be released, and we will see you there on January 1th.

The news about the premiere of "Everyman" was posted on all major film and television information network platforms the next day.

"What the hell? We're really talking about it! Damn it, let go of my little dragon girl!"

"No, what's going on with you two? You didn't tell me about such a big thing in advance?"

In a place like the entertainment industry, overprotection is sometimes not a good thing.

Zhang Ziyi was very excited and posted several Weibo posts to express her emotions for the movie.

Hollywood doesn't want her, mainland China can't accommodate her.

If nothing else happens, in the following months, the names of Zhang Ziyi and "The Grandmaster" will inevitably appear frequently on Weibo and other platforms.

"No, can you please stop talking nonsense? This is obviously a still. This is hype. Do you understand what hype is?"

On the other hand, the film crew and other actors showed a little lack of interest. Most of them just posted a Weibo and made a simple announcement.

Therefore, her current situation is very embarrassing.

Now after returning to the mainland, she discovered that after all these years, the mainland market no longer recognized her.

If Liu Xiaoli really wants to choose a son-in-law, Chen Fei is undoubtedly the best choice!

But these two are now on the rise in their careers, and once their love affair is exposed, it is likely to have an impact on their subsequent development.

She is also very confused now.

Logically speaking, such a good son-in-law should be firmly grasped.

But just giving away my own cabbage makes me feel a little uncomfortable...

"Oh, mom, what are you talking about?" Liu Yifei's face turned red and she quickly said, "This is just a strategy to promote the movie."

"is it?"

Liu Xiaoli didn't quite believe it. Her daughter looked so pretty, how could that kid endure it?

"Really! Why did I lie to you?"

Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Liu Xiaoli very seriously, her eyes full of innocence.

What is there to hide when there is nothing in the first place?
"Ah, okay."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly sighed, unable to hide her disappointment.

Liu Yifei stood at the door of the bedroom with a surprised look on her face. Her mother's reaction really made her confused.

After thinking about it, she asked tentatively: "Mom, so...you don't object to me falling in love with him?"

"Silly girl, why should I object?" Liu Xiaoli said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Such a good and high-quality candidate should be firmly grasped. If you miss this one, where will you find the next one? ?”

Liu Yifei was immediately stunned by the remarks.

It made sense, but she never expected that these words would come out of her mother's mouth!

"You are 25 this year, and you are a big girl. I will definitely not object to your falling in love, but you must keep your eyes open. The choice of your partner is related to your future, so you must be cautious..."

This morning, mother and daughter talked a lot.

There were also many people who came specifically to ask Chen Fei for information.

Such as Zhu Yawen.

"What the hell? You two finally got together? Let me just say, I discovered something was wrong with you very early on. Hahaha, it's finally made public. Congratulations..."

"Congratulations!" Chen Fei was speechless: "We are just taking advantage of the popularity to promote the movie, what a nonsense!"

"What?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yawen was slightly stunned and suddenly felt surprised: "No, Brother Fei, what's the matter with you? If you have a good opportunity, you must seize it. Don't let others take away the food delivered to your door. , I’m still waiting to drink your wedding wine!”

beep...

The call was hung up immediately, and Chen Fei threw the phone on the table, completely ignoring the text message from Zhu Yawen.

Grab it, grab it!
...On the day "Piff" was released, a lot of new news came out on the Internet.

Taking advantage of the popularity, Huayi announced the cast of the second part of the Dee Renjie series, "The Dragon King of the City of Gods."

Xu Ke directed, and Chen Guofu served as screenwriter.

The production team is still the same as the original cast of the previous film "Bongtian Empire", but when it comes to the cast, there have been huge changes!
Except for Liu Jialing, the others are completely different from the first film.

"Di Renjie" played by Andy Lau was replaced by Zhao Youting, while other veteran actors were replaced by young actors, played by Feng Shaofeng, Chen Kun, Lin Genxin and others.

Even the female lead was replaced by Yang Ying from Li Bingbin.

Obviously, Huayi filmed this film for the current fan base of young actors.

When filming the first part, Feiyue Film and Television also participated, and Chen Fei even strongly requested Xu Ke to change the costume props.

Market feedback after the movie was released also confirmed that his request at the time was correct.

Now, the filming of the second part is about to start, and Huayi has not even made a call. It is obvious that it is not ready to continue cooperation with Feiyue Film and Television.

Xu Ke specially called Chen Fei, with a slightly regretful tone: "The special effects for the second part will be done in conjunction with a South Korean special effects company. I am a soft-spoken person and can't say anything."

"Haha, it doesn't matter."

Chen Fei didn't care about this. Without Huayi as a partner, his special effects department would definitely not go bankrupt.

Just the business schedule of my own company is already very full, whether with or without Huayi.

"Sigh, I think the box office results of the second film may plummet. The original cast will be completely changed, and fans will inevitably be dissatisfied."

Xu Ke sighed, quite helpless.

Huayi officially announced that it wanted to produce a masterpiece full of sincerity, but they secretly spread the news, accusing the actors of being paid too high, leading to an increase in production costs.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they replaced the original cast members just to praise their own artists.

At a glance, it can be seen that except for Liu Jialing, the rest of the cast are actors under Huayi.

What it means is naturally self-evident.

"With an investment of 1.3 million, Wang Zhonglei's requirement is to recover the cost from the theater chain, which means that the box office must be at least 4 million..."

Xu Ke was already having a headache. Most of these young actors had poor acting skills, and they had to encounter many setbacks during the filming process.

On the 24th, Maoyan’s official website replaced China Film Group Corporation and announced the first-day box office results of “The Man”.

230.7 yuan.

Also announced were box office data for "Titanic 3D".

1432.2 million.

This Hollywood imported film is really powerful. It has been released for half a month, and the daily box office has not dropped below 7 million yuan, and the total box office has soared to more than million yuan.

Looking at this sign, it is obvious that he is aiming for 10 billion!
Other films of the same period became cannon fodder.

On Weibo, Huang Xiaoming, who was still enthusiastically promoting his new movie, suddenly lost his voice.

The box office on the first day was just over 200 million. There was also a super Hollywood blockbuster in the same period, followed by a lot of imported films...

If nothing else, the total box office of this movie is probably only about 3000 million.

Loss is already doomed.

Inside Huayi Company.

Wang Zhongjun looked at the various box office data released by Maoyan with a gloomy expression: "These imported Hollywood blockbusters are so powerful that suppressed domestic films cannot hold their own."

Wang Zhonglei, who was sitting opposite, frowned: "We must stagger the release time of these blockbusters, otherwise it will inevitably be affected."

Wang Zhongjun nodded with approval, pointed to a movie release schedule on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The schedule of "Tai Chi: From Scratch" needs to be changed. "Pacific Rim" is on the National Day schedule, and we can't compete with it. of."

"Ahead of time or later?"

If it is postponed, November will only be left for the film.

But if you move forward, there will be more suitable time.

Wang Zhongjun stared at the form for a long time, and finally pointed to a place: "This is it!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei subconsciously stood up and looked around, only to see his eldest brother pointing at the date August 8th.

他顿时皱起了眉头：“8月1日有《反贪风暴2》，8月23日有《你的名字》，这都是咱们的直接竞争对手。”

"I know."

Wang Zhongjun was full of confidence, held his head high, and said slowly: "It's a Hong Kong movie, a romance movie, what's there to be afraid of?

This time, we chose to confront him head-on. I didn’t believe it. Could he still win? "

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei nodded heavily, and for a moment he couldn't suppress his excitement.

After being suppressed by Chen Fei for a long time, he was finally able to stand up this time.

The two brothers were so confident that even before the movie was released, they were already ready to drink champagne at halftime.

At the same time, as Huayi began to adjust its film schedule, many domestic films have responded.

"Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi has been adjusted from September 9 to August 27.

"Double Exposure" starring Fan Bingbing and Feng Shaofeng has been adjusted from September 9 to August 29.

No one wants to go to the National Day show to compete with "Pacific Rim".

For a time, the unpopular August period actually became a day of competition for major domestic films.

Although several movies are released at different times, since they are both in August, there is no doubt that these are the most direct competition!
The Gu cups have been set up, and the Gu insects have entered the arena, and now it’s time to fight each other!

……

The news that the key application for "Titanic 3D" was rejected spread immediately and was unanimously recognized and approved by the mainland film circle.

This kind of imported Hollywood blockbuster is already very popular. If the key period is extended, other domestic movies will have no way to survive!
At the same time, the second Capital International Film Festival is currently being held in full swing.

There are many people coming from Hollywood, and the biggest director is undoubtedly James Cameron, but it is the major film companies that attract more people's attention.

Warner Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Disney Pictures, Sony Columbia Pictures, Paramount Pictures...

Looking around, it is clear that the six major Hollywood companies are eyeing the Chinese market!

In order to support the scene, the bureau has already used all the facades in the domestic film industry.

China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi, Enlight, Bona, Feiyue Film...

As long as the mainland film companies are ranked high, all are invited to the scene to support.

Su Guohai had been busy with this matter during this period. It was not until after the opening ceremony that he finally found some free time and returned to the company.

"These Hollywood companies all have huge appetites, especially Warner's newly appointed Japanese CEO Kevin Shikihara, who actually proposed the idea of ​​a special edition of the film, which is completely the same as Hong Kong Entertainment..."

Listening to Su Guohai's nagging complaints, Chen Fei suddenly remembered Chen Jia Shang's speech in front of the media two days ago.

“The signing of CEPA has put the lives of Mainland co-productions in Hong Kong’s film industry for nearly ten years, but many people cannot clearly understand the situation and cannot see through the situation in front of them!
Over the years, some people have been aloof, smashing their rice bowls after eating, scolding the cook, and not liking everyone.

But now, the mainland has no shortage of funds, actors, or markets. Do we still need to cooperate with Hong Kong Entertainment?
In my opinion it is completely unnecessary!

This is called supporting and helping you to prevent you from being completely ruined. Unfortunately, many people still don't understand the situation and just spend the whole day jumping up and down. I think it will be over sooner or later! "

If these words were spoken ten years later, perhaps they could be heard by Hollywood.

Hong Kong Entertainment has broken through its defenses. Who knows what kind of situation Hollywood will develop in the future?
"Ignore them. If any idiot is willing to take the bait, let them go. We will not participate in this kind of thing, and there is no need to participate."

Chen Fei waved his hand, not interested in paying attention to this at all.

The bureau called him several times, trying to get him to come forward and support the situation.

In this regard, Chen Fei did not refuse, but he did not stay at the film festival venue all the time like Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kai, licking crazily at those Hollywood directors and producers.

He was going to wait for the closing ceremony to walk on the red carpet, just to show off his face.

Even in Hollywood, he doesn't need to give these people face, let alone in China.

If you want him to come up to you with a look of admiration, these people are not qualified yet!
