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

Chapter 532: Dissatisfied? Those who came to Wen or those who came to Wu? The third master’s operation is really piss-poor!

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping began to talk about some of the internal affairs of China Film Group during this period.

"In order to coordinate several domestic films in the second half of the year, and at the same time not to affect our co-production, I made some minor adjustments in the film schedule."

subtle?

Chen Fei smelled something wrong.

What kind of subtle adjustment caused Han Sanping to feel pressured, and even said that she needed awards to protect her position.

"What did you adjust?"

"Hehe!" Han Sanping laughed first, and then said: "You should know the two Hollywood blockbusters "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", right?"

"of course I know."

The former is a film jointly produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Pictures, and the distribution is handled by Sony and Columbia.

There are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, but Han Sanping cannot be allowed to retreat.

"The production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" and "Wolf Warrior" produced by Feiyue Film and Television have officially been completed. The post-production is expected to end at the end of September. The target is: Lunar New Year!"

China Film Group moved very quickly. In the afternoon, it announced the schedule of imported films in the second half of the year, as well as the schedule of two films produced by Feiyue Film and Television.

As soon as this announcement appeared, it immediately frightened the production companies, producers, and directors who claimed to participate in the competition for the Lunar New Year movies.

It was originally planned to be released in July, but they do not allow simultaneous global release. There are too many domestic movies in August, so it is not suitable, so let them fight in September!
This will not affect "Pacific Rim". As for "Your Name", although it will be released relatively recently, based on the popularity of you and Liu Yifei, the impact will not be huge. "

In 08, "The Dark Knight", adapted from DC Comics and directed by Christopher Nolan, became the first DC movie to exceed $10 billion in global box office.

DC Comics was in decline for a time.

Last year, under the leadership of Sharon Miller, DC Comics launched the second DC Universe comic adaptation movie "Green Lantern" after "The Dark Knight".

At the previous Capital International Film Festival, the newly appointed Japanese CEO of Warner Bros., Kevin Shikihara, traveled thousands of miles to come to China in order for this movie to achieve outstanding box office results in China.

"Hahaha!"

DC Comics also sniffed out the business opportunities and started its own territory expansion plan with Warner Brothers.

As for "Batman", this is the work of DC Films, a subsidiary of Warner.

Hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to give Third Master a thumbs up!

The box office revenue is not even as high as the production cost, it can be said to be a complete loss!
At the beginning of filming, Warner was still clamoring to release "Green Lantern 2", but after the movie was released, this plan was completely eliminated.

Unfortunately, the two companies can only jointly produce it.

This operation is really annoying!

Fortunately, the success of "The Dark Knight" has brought a lot of profits to DC.

There is absolutely no way for people to survive!

It’s no wonder that in the subsequent WTO negotiation meeting, Lao and the United States will directly ask him to retire by name.

"Don't worry, just take a look!"

After ending the topic of investment, the two chatted a few more words about imported films ravaging domestic films.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now."

This movie is directed by Martin Campbell, starring Ryan Reynolds, and cost as much as $2.5 million to produce!
Unfortunately, its box office was only US$1.16 million, and its global box office was only US$2.45 million.

At the same time, after the release of "Avengers" last year, Marvel has officially embarked on the journey of creating a superhero universe.

……

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping said directly: "I asked China Film Distribution Company to put "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight Rises" together on September 9st.

It's a pity that Colombia is unwilling to let go. Even if they offer double the price, they will not sell it.

Chen Fei seemed to have thought of the scene where Columbia Pictures and Warner Brothers were scolding each other.

The next day, a new announcement from Feiyue Film and Television appeared on the film and television information website.

"So, you have to help me!"

Chen Fei quickly advised: "You can't just look at the disadvantages, there are also advantages. There are so many movies at your disposal. This sense of accomplishment is so satisfying just thinking about it!"

Facing the Marvel Cinematic Universe created by Marvel Animation, Warner Bros. has also launched a series of DC comic adaptation movies.

"No problem." Chen Fei immediately promised: "In a word, 2%, you arrange for someone to come over tomorrow and sign "The Murderer" first, and wait for the other films. I haven't found a suitable director yet. ”

Who knows what the new one will be like? What if Feiyue Film and Television has to wear small shoes?

Not to be outdone, Warner Bros. once again brought out the "Batman" theme and launched "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises."

Han Sanping burst out laughing, and soon began to sigh again: "It's troublesome for me to sit in this position. I'm not satisfied at home, and I'm not satisfied with it abroad. I'm caught in the middle every day and suffer."

Kevin Feige has tried many times to get the rights to Spider-Man back.

"'Spider-Man vs. Batman'? Damn it! Mr. San is awesome!"

"I don't know how much longer I can hold on, but as long as I can hold on, I won't back down. You big commercial film directors need to fight for it!"

This horse riding can no longer be regarded as the coming of wolves. This is two male lions getting into the sheepfold!

However, Marvel's share in it is pitifully small, it is just a name, and Columbia Pictures is mainly responsible.

"The Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" will be released on December 12st.

"Wolf Warrior" January 1st.

The Lunar New Year stalls were completely booked.

There was no movement from the others yet, but Lu Chuan was confused for the first time!
The movie "The King's Feast" directed by him was released on November 11th, only two days apart from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City".

No matter how confident he is, compared to a ghost blowing a lantern, he still feels a little weak in his heart.

However, just when he was thinking about whether to adjust the schedule, Jiang Wen jumped out and openly mocked on Weibo: "Hey, I just discovered that someone's historical masterpiece is also on the Lunar New Year schedule.

how? Are you preparing to rise up? Or are you thinking about adjusting your schedule?

If it were me, I would definitely not be a coward. Anyone who is a coward is equivalent to admitting that he is a weakling! "

As soon as Jiang Wen's Weibo post was published, Lu Chuan's head was filled with blood.

Without even thinking about it, that "someone" must be referring to him!

"Whoever is timid is a coward? Whoever is timid is a coward! Damn it! It was Ning Hao and Feiyue Film and Television that labor and management did this time. I don't believe it..."

Lu Chuan cursed and complained.

Regarding the inquiry calls from two investors, Singmei and Yinghuang, he swore and assured: "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem with this movie, even if it encounters "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I won't be afraid.

Mine is a historical epic theme, while his is a fantasy theme with different audiences, so it won’t affect us..."

Following Lu Chuan's deception, the matter of adjusting the schedule was completely shelved.

The release date of "The King's Feast" remains unchanged, it is still 11.29, aiming to be released during the Lunar New Year!
On the other hand, "1942" produced by Huayi and directed by Feng Xiaogang has encountered an "unexpected disaster."

Originally, Huayi announced that it would only schedule the film for the Lunar New Year and did not specify when it would be released.

However, as the two movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television were scheduled to be scheduled in advance, and Jiang Wen made such remarks, they were immediately put on fire.

It is impossible to leave the Lunar New Year period. After all, Huayi has a "big family and a big business", and the two Wang brothers are face-saving people, so naturally they would not be willing to be called "cowards".

So, just one day later, Huayi issued an announcement:

"The historical drama war movie "12" is officially scheduled to be released on December 15."

This is already the most suitable schedule that the two Wang brothers could think of.

I didn't rely on "The Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Wonderful Ancient City" before, and I didn't rely on "Wolf Warrior" later...

Feng Xiaogang took advantage of the situation and posted a new Weibo: "I hope to break the box office record of "Earthquake", aiming for 700 million!"

The 6.9 million in "The Great Earthquake" has suddenly become a pain in his heart.

It has been mentioned many times that this feeling is really fucking uncomfortable!

……

As we enter mid-May, good news comes one after another.

《绣春刀2：修罗战场》票房成功破3亿，正在朝着四亿发起冲锋。《扫毒1》和《赤道》拍摄已经完成了2/3，将于六月上旬完成全部戏份的拍摄工作。

The preparation period for "One Man's Martial Arts" has ended and is waiting for the director and actors to be in place.

"Macau Storm" has officially entered the preparatory period.

"The Murderer" has officially entered the preparatory period.

In addition to domestic, there is also a lot of good news coming from abroad.

The third season of "Game of Thrones" and the second season of "Spartacus" have officially ended and will be released on Netflix and Hulu in the summer.

Preparations for the second season of "Shameless" are coming to an end and production will officially start in June.

Preparatory work for "Thor: The Dark World" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has been completed by two-thirds, and is expected to be officially launched in mid-June.

"Godzilla" is halfway through preparation, and Lucasfilm has reached a friendly and win-win cooperation with Toho Co., Ltd., and the film will start shooting at the end of July.

At the same time, preparations for "Dallas Buyers Club" have come to an end.

Chen Fei has finished drawing the storyboards. Next, he plans to fly to Hollywood immediately after attending the premiere of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

The premiere of "The Hunger Games 2" will also be held in late May, and he, the screenwriter, must be there.

In addition, the guest scene in "Fast and Furious 6" has not yet been filmed, and "Dallas Buyers Club" is also preparing to start filming...

"Busy! It's so busy!"

Chen Fei sighed, his eyes full of yearning for freedom.

Unfortunately, in the past year or two, he will not be able to find free opportunities.

"When can I retire?"

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly yearned for future freedom.

……

……

As the time reaches mid-May, the five imported blockbusters in April have gradually come to an end.

Among these movies, the remake of "Titanic 3D" is the most awesome!
One month after its release, the box office revenue was 9.75 million, which is less than 3000 million to exceed billion.

Fortunately, the film bureau did not agree to extend the key period, otherwise, the domestic films released in the future will definitely die more miserably than the last!

Chen Fei took a look and found that from the beginning of the year to now, the only movie with a domestic box office of over 1 billion is the "Avengers" directed by himself.

Next up is Titanic 3D.

As for domestic Chinese-language movies, the highest box office was "Xiu Chun Knife 2" with 3 million.

This shows how powerful imported films are!
Fortunately, there is only a limit of 34 imported films this year. If there were no restrictions at all, domestic films would definitely die tragically!

As for "Everyman" and "Killing", two domestic films that created a lot of popularity in April, the box office is still so weak.

The former's total box office at the moment is 2000 million, while the latter has just reached 900 million, and it can be said that it is far away from making money back.

Huang Xiaoming may have been unlucky in the past two months. Not only did the movies he released perform poorly at the box office, but even the movie he starred in was banned.

""Wuwen Xidong"?"

Looking at the movie title announced by the Film Bureau, Chen Fei had some vague memories in his mind.

This film seems to be a gift from Tsinghua University. In April, a very grand press conference was held on the Tsinghua campus, as if it wanted to set a "benchmark".

But it had just been handed over to the Film Bureau, and it was banned directly without even a chance to make corrections!

You know, the film bureau has now relaxed the scope of censorship.

Under such circumstances, the finished film can still be banned. If nothing else, there may be something wrong with the content of the film.

For a time, the male and female protagonists Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Ziyi, as well as the producer China Film and Television, became the targets of media attention and pursuit.

However, before the media could dig out anything, the news was quickly suppressed.

Han Sanping actually took action herself!

Adhering to the attitude of "eating melons", at a charity event, Chen Fei specifically asked Han Sanping for the inside story.

When he heard the words "Wuwen Xidong", the third master instantly became gloomy.

"It's also my fault. Before filming started, I only read the script and didn't go to the filming site at all, which caused a big mess. There were too many personal things mixed into the movie.

Religion, politics, values…”

The more he listened, the more frightened Chen Fei became!

"Is this horse's butt just crooked to grandma's house?"

Han Sanping smiled bitterly: "Oh, he is a returnee from overseas. He graduated from the directing department of the Graduate School of Film and Television at New York University. The script is indeed good, but there are too many stolen goods in it."

"Yes, I understand."

Fade Chen shrugged, not surprised.

In the past few years of filming abroad, he has met many Chinese or Chinese-American directors who have come to intern on the crew, and 80% of them have been brainwashed.

It's really good if they are used as tool men, but if they are allowed to direct it themselves, even an anti-Japanese drama will definitely go wrong!

After returning to the company, Chen Fei specifically checked the director of this movie and included his name in the list of people he could never cooperate with.

……

After a month and a half of intense publicity, Lu Yang has finally concluded the promotion of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" for the time being.

After resting for two days, he led Zhao Wenzhuo and Wang Baoqiang to set off.

The media met the crew at the airport. After interviews and photos, the news was posted online that afternoon.

"Director Lu Yang's new movie "One Man's Martial Arts" is about to start filming. The cast and production team have been confirmed, and all of them are mainland teams."

"The producer is director Chen Fei, with a strong lineup and a strong team!"

"The martial arts instructors are Chen Fei, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Wang Baoqiang. All three of them are martial arts actors and have extremely profound martial arts skills..."

As soon as these news appeared, they immediately grabbed the headlines of major entertainment pages.

For a time, the mainland film industry responded with applause!

Once upon a time, whenever Hong Kong films were made, mainland actors would almost always be paired with Hong Kong actors. At most, the female lead could be identified as a mainland actor.

But now, "One Man's Martial Arts" has come out, and the director, two leading actors, and production team are all mainland filmmakers.

As for the female lead, Bai Li, although she is a contracted artist of Yinghuang, she is still essentially a mainland actor, and her development in recent years has become more inclined to the mainland.

On the other hand, the supporting roles, supporting roles, etc. in the crew are all Hong Kong entertainment actors selected by Yinghuang.

The situation has completely reversed.

This time, even though it was a Hong Kong-style movie, actors from Hong Kong acted as voices for mainland actors.

Unlike the Mainland film industry, which is elated, the Hong Kong film industry is in a state of excitement.

Chen Fei even heard that several "old people" in the Hong Kong film industry were so angry that they even called Yang Shoucheng and scolded him for betraying Hong Kong Entertainment and being a "two devils".

Yang Shoucheng was not a good-tempered person. Even when he retorted, he sprayed many people so hard that they couldn't breathe on the spot.

You know, Yinghuang is not alone, there are Jiahe and Media Asia behind him to support him.

Although these three companies compete with each other, they are also the most closely involved partners because of Chen Fei.

The most powerful iron triangle in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry are connected together. Who can beat them?
Even Huaxia Xing, who keeps causing trouble behind his back, is completely powerless in the face of such a combination.

On the mainland, Chen Fei, who had completely broken up with some people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, would not just look at it like this.

Just when the Hong Kong community was calling for a boycott of "One Man's Martial Arts" and Yinghuang, he directly made a move and shouted from the air:
"You don't have to worry about that. If anyone is unhappy or dissatisfied, then we will have a challenge and go directly to the arena to start the fight.

If you want to use force, I will accompany you, one against three? One against five? Or ten against one? You have the final say. If I give in, I will avoid you when I see you from now on.

If you want to write a story, then make a movie and put it in the same schedule to see whose movie is better!
If the literary and military do not dare, then shut up and don’t let me look down on you! "
