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

Chapter 559: The appearance of little 'Fan Bingbing'? The promotion plan was successfully implemented! Yang Mi’s ambition!

As the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival ends, the award selection officially begins.

After returning to the hotel from the banquet, Chen Fei began to get busy with matters related to the premiere of "Dallas Buyers Club".

Invitations have been sent out, and the next step is to do some public relations, publicity, and marketing work.

...

The film festival has just begun, and it’s a time when media reporters are going crazy.

Not long after the opening ceremony of the film festival ended, various news reports have already spread to the world.

As expected, most of the media in Europe and the United States paid attention to the scene of Sophie Marceau showing off her big thunder, while in China, the attention was mainly concentrated on Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, and Yang Ying.

In addition to "Tai Chi 1: From Scratch", the Chinese-language films shortlisted for the screening include "Tell Them I Ride on the White Crane" directed by Li Ruiqun, "Three Sisters" directed by Wang Bing, and "Tai Chi : From Scratch" directed by Bayan Province director Cai Mingliang. The Diamond Sutra and so on.

Unfortunately, the attention received by the latter few films cannot be compared with the former.

Excellent entertainment journalists naturally understand the market demand and what people like, and of course they will use this to create news.

The assistant nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.

Looking around, all of them, without exception, are all kinds of very exaggerated flattery.

In just one morning, the movie "The Master" was surrounded by all kinds of flattering comments.

"Oh, there is no way. He has money, strength, and status. Who can do anything to him?"

With the support of these remarks, coupled with the success of "Praise", other crews participating in the main competition directly focused their attention on "The Master" and Harvey.

Of course, in comparison, obtaining awards is the most important thing!
Hattie Politopher reacted extremely quickly.

The flattering effect that Chen Fei wanted to achieve was achieved smoothly.

The appearance of these remarks all confirms that at this Venice Film Festival, Harvey and the film "The Master" he invested in have become the target of many people.

8月1号上映的《反贪风暴2》已经正式撤档下映了，总票房比第一部高了4000万，定格在了3.56亿上面。

Two Chinese actresses, Yang Ying and Liu Yifei, appeared in Venice at the same time, so they will naturally become the focus of media attention.

"The Wind Listener" has also been officially withdrawn and released, with a total box office revenue of 2.32 million.

"Harvey has applied the tricks he did in Hollywood to the Venice Film Festival. There are many actresses from various countries coming this year, and there will definitely be some unlucky ones who will be forced by him."

"Liu Yifei is dressed in a white dress. She is elegant and graceful. Her aura is no weaker than that of Hollywood actresses. She shows off her heroine style!"

However, the battle between Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi is still ongoing.

"Through the story between a psychologist and an assistant, the film deeply explores the mysterious core of human emotions and explores the path to individual emotional liberation and self-salvation. "The Master" deserves a Golden Lion trophy!"

By the next day, various reports about "The Master" had already appeared in the program guides, entertainment networks, newspapers, etc. related to the Venice Film Festival.

……

1.7 million on the first day and over 6 million in the first week. Now, 14 days after its release, the box office has reached 8.97 million.

What appears in the eyes of fans and other participating crews is exactly this: "The Master" is expected to win the Golden Lion Award, Best Director Silver Lion Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Actor Award, and Best Film and Television Award at this Venice Film Festival. All awards including Actress Award!

"In my opinion, the script of "The Master" is completely superior, and the best script belongs to him!"

As for "Hedong Roar 2", although it has not completed its entire schedule, due to the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight Rises", the former's daily new box office has dropped below 10.

When Chen Fei was eating in the hotel dining area these days, he could often hear people discussing Harvey.

It is estimated that in four or five days at most, domestic theaters will officially welcome a brand new film with a box office of over 1 billion!
As for the film "Tai Chi 1: From Zero", there is no movement now. It is being suppressed by a large number of imported films. It is a miserable group.

For example, this morning, he heard some very unfavorable remarks about him.

With the Venice Film Festival taking place, the time has officially shifted to September.

"The film does not simply expose a cult scandal. On the contrary, the structure of the film is composed of a fierce struggle that is going on at all times. Paul Thomas Anderson deserves a Silver Lion Award for Best Director!"

"Others are all about exchange of interests. You are willing to do what you want, but it is really rare for someone to use force like Harvey."

"The 69th Venice Film Festival officially opened. Chinese director Chen Fei led two Oscar-winning actors on stage, and the fans at the scene cheered wildly!"

Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately ordered: "Tell Hatty for me that the killing can be over for now. The effect we want has been achieved. Next, let the bullets fly!"

"Yang Ying's dress is bold in design and shows off her figure. She looks like a little 'Fan Bingbing'."

Although Chen Fei is busy with movie premieres and dealing with Harvey, he has not given up his attention to the mainland theater market.

"it is good."

Two years ago, many people witnessed him locking a well-known European actress in a hotel room and forcing her to have sex with him.

The year before last, he guided public opinion and attacked a film that competed with him, causing the other party to lose.

Harvey is quite notorious. When he attended the Venice Film Festival last year, he locked people in a hotel room for a whole day in order to buy a film from an overseas studio at a low price.

"We spread a lot of information about Harvey Weinstein's behavior during the award process, which once caused dissatisfaction among other main competition crews.

In their view, all the comments online praising "The Master" were caused by Harvey. He was trying to influence the jury's selection by extolling the superior and suppressing the inferior. "

"At this Venice International Film Festival, "The Master" is bound to win a big victory, and the other films can only serve as foils."

Now the total box office is only 6000 million, which can be said to be a huge loss!
Looking around, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly "Your Name".

On the fifth day after the opening ceremony, one of Harty's assistants brought him a lot of good news.

Unfortunately, because the box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" was so much worse than that of "Double Exposure", Zhang Ziyi felt inexplicably lacking in confidence.

As for the movie "HOLD Live in Love" starring Yang Mi, it was even worse than "Hedong Lion Roar 2"!
In addition to the 2700 million in the first day, the new box office in the following days did not exceed 500 million, and the decline was extremely drastic.

And because Liu Yifei was not released during the movie's release schedule, she also suffered a lot of criticism.

In addition, Tang people are adding fuel to the flames, so that Yang Mi has not dared to market herself recently, for fear of suffering a negative blow.

At the same time, Chen Fei also received many related reports on the progress of the film's shooting.

"Into the Dust" directed by Shen Ao and starring Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yan Ni has officially been announced.

"The Murderer" directed by Kang Honglei and starring Zhang Yi, Aruna, and Zhang Songwen has also officially announced its completion.

As for movies such as "One Man's Martial Arts", "Wolf Warrior", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" and other films, they have all come to an end and are just waiting for the day they will be released.

In addition, there is also a lot of news coming from Hollywood.

The second season of "Shameless" has officially been completed, "Iron Man 3" has also been successfully completed, "Wreck-It Ralph" has started shooting, and the filming progress of "Godzilla" has been completed one-third...

As for "How to Train Your Dragon 2", which is currently in theaters, the North American box office is about to exceed 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is approaching 6 million U.S. dollars!
Catherine enthusiastically started the pre-release publicity campaign for "Now You See Me" and is preparing to officially launch a sniper attack on the Weinstein Films' movie "Escape from Tehran" on October 11th.

Looking at it, for Chen Fei, almost all of this is good news!

Of course, he will definitely not be left behind when it comes to "eating melons".

Due to the popularity of "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", many Chinese-language films in China suffered heavy losses at the box office.

The complaint mailbox of the film bureau has been so full these days that I can hardly put it in.

In response to these protests, Han Sanping did not hesitate to pull Chen Fei out: "They are both Chinese movies, so why can "Your Name" withstand the impact of Hollywood movies, but you can't?

Scheduling films is certainly the key, but don’t you just look at the films you’ve made?
There are all negative reviews online, and the fan ratings are even lower than the average. For a work like this, how do you want me to improve your film schedule? "

The retort directly caused many producers, directors, and film companies in the industry to lose their defense.

There were more complaints and rebuttals, but the bureau did not respond or give any feedback. They all pretended not to see it.

However, although due to the comprehensive invasion of imported films, more and more films have lost investment, but in contrast, the number of film releases has not decreased but increased!
And in just a few days, many domestic films have been successfully approved.

However, if you look around, almost all of them are youth love-themed films of various types, with the main theme being "selling feelings"!
Among them, the short, big and tight one "The Dog at the Same Table" is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

In May last year, Gao Dagen was arrested for drunk driving and sentenced to six months in prison.

In March this year, the talk show "Xiao Shuo" hosted by him began to air. Just six months later, he actually produced another script and successfully attracted investment from the Rays.

I have to say, this guy is really capable!
In addition to this "My Deskmate", on the other hand, the epic masterpiece "White Deer Plain" that has been hyped for two years is finally about to be released.

Wang Quan'an boasted a lot in front of the media, saying that not only did he want to tell a literary masterpiece in a movie, but he also wanted to tell it wonderfully!

There is still more than a week left until the release, and he has already held a viewing party.

Chen Fei saw the guest lineup reported by the media. Looking around, he saw that they were all top and well-known first-line directors in the country.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Tian Zhuangzhuang...

The specific content of the film has not been revealed, but according to interviews with several major directors after watching the film, it seems that the film is quite good.

Chen Fei couldn't suppress his curiosity and called Tian Zhuangzhuang to find out the specific situation.

Facing his own people, Tian Zhuangzhuang naturally tells everything he knows: "The story is cut from the middle part of the novel, and the explanation is not clear. The theme is vague and the narrative is confusing, especially the entanglement between the Bailu family, Bai Jiaxuan and Tian Xiao The opposition between E and E is not clearly shown, so viewers who have not read the original work cannot understand the profound historical and social significance of the original work "White Deer Plain" through the film..."

After hearing these words, Chen Fei suddenly realized!

Wang Quan'an had been holding it in for two whole years, and now he let out a stinky fart!

It’s no wonder that online reviews of this movie almost all focus on the actors’ acting skills rather than on the story.

It seems that these great directors cherish their feathers very much.

……

After eating melon for the time being, Chen Fei stood up and walked out of the hotel.

Today is the last screening of "Dallas Buyers Club". Many invited guests have said they will come today, so naturally he, the director, has to make an appearance.

Usually, the premiere of a movie is the moment when the most invited guests are invited, but with this movie, the opposite happened.

The reason is simple, because tonight is the time for the film festival jury to officially decide on the awards, and Chen Fei is going to let them deepen their impression of the film.

However, he never expected that when he arrived outside the screening room, he received a call from Huo Wenxi.

"Mr. Chen, there is something I need to report to you. Is your time convenient now?"

Chen Fei lowered his head and glanced at his watch and walked to one side: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. Yang Mi's contract is about to expire, but she has offered a condition for renewal."

"What conditions?"

"She wants to play the female lead in The Martian."

Chen Fei frowned suddenly: "Are you kidding me? Is she out of her mind? With her current box office appeal, can she afford this science fiction masterpiece?"

Because of the failure of two movies in succession, Yang Mi has now encountered a lot of doubts.

And more importantly, her acting skills are really not good.

It can be seen from "Four Famous Catchers" that if Deng Chao hadn't been dragging her along, her performance in the film would have been even worse!

"Director Guo Fan also said the same. He would never consider Yang Mi."

"Then what? Did you reply to her?"

"I have already replied, and Yang Mi also made it clear that she will not renew the contract."

"Oh, if it doesn't continue, just don't continue it. Transfer all her follow-up resources to Zhao Liying and Shu Chang. If there is any left, you can also pay attention to other actresses."

Just as he was talking, two more figures suddenly appeared in Chen Fei's mind: "You can also pay attention to Dilraba and Gulinazha. If there are suitable roles, I can recommend them to try them."

"Ok, I see."

Feiyinghuang Agency is not as overbearing as other companies. Its main focus is on mutual consent.

Since Yang Mi decided not to renew the contract, it was naturally impossible for Chen Fei to force her.

Withdraw the resources invested in her, wait until the contract officially expires, and then everyone can go their separate ways.

"By the way, what has she been doing lately? It seems like she hasn't moved for a while?"

"After I made it clear that I refused, she turned around and took on a new drama."

"What drama?"

"The film "Tiny Times" adapted from the best-selling book "Tiny Times" is a youth-themed work written and directed by Guo Jingming."

Hearing these words, Chen Fei suddenly fell silent.

After going round and round, everything is back to where it started.

He had also read the published novel "Little Times", but unfortunately, he stopped reading after reading only a few pages.

Although this book has many fans, the content it conveys is completely inconsistent with the mainstream values ​​​​and morals of ordinary people, and is even a bit extreme!
The content is indeed true, but it is only true for a few people.

Although the story is set in the current city, all the people and things presented overlook the real era in a "smooth" and "floating" attitude, which is an unquestionable "present moment" separated from the city's history and memory. ”, expressing contemporary expression through the development of new consumption concepts and lifestyles.

Materiality, money, luxury, temptation, greed...

Although such a story adapted into a movie will attract the love and pursuit of a large number of fans of the original work, it may also have a very bad impact on the actors.

Controversy is inevitable!

It's a pity that Yang Mi can't see clearly...or maybe what she wants is "controversy"!
But she didn't think about it. If the reputation of an actor's movie completely collapsed, would the actor's future be smooth?

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen shook his head and put everything about Yang Mi behind him.

It's just an actress terminating her contract, it won't have any impact on him at all.

Some people's ambitions will inevitably skyrocket as their popularity grows, and such people are destined to be unable to be retained.

……

In the capital, an empty office floor.

At this time, Yang Mi was working with Zeng Jia to select a location for her personal studio.

"Mimi, I personally think this place is very nice. It has good lighting and a reasonable rent. It is also in the center of several film and television production companies, which is very convenient for us to communicate with other partners."

"Well, I think it's nice here too."

Yang Mi nodded in response and asked, "How is the studio registration going?"

"It's coming soon. It will take at most three days for the certificate to come out. When our contract with Feiyinghuang's agency expires, we can directly use the studio to conduct business with the outside world, including signing artists."

"Jiaxing Media?"

"Yes, you and I are both shareholders and bosses. Let's go hand in hand and work hard to create brilliance!"

"Okay, remember to tell me when the certificate comes out. Since "The Martian" can't match the popularity, we will open up a new route!"

The ambition in Yang Mi's heart can no longer be suppressed at this time, burning like a torrential flame!

The current studio can only be regarded as a transition, and the film and television company is her ultimate goal.

Therefore, she didn't even think of linking the studio to other film and television companies.

In her opinion, Zhou Xun's choice to affiliate her personal studio under Feiyue Film and Television was a very stupid move.

If you want to make your own decisions, you can only choose to be completely independent!

From now on, she, Yang Mi, will be promoted to the boss and producer of a film and television company, completely completing the leap from actor to capital!
