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

Chapter 563 Chapter 562: Invest in "Siping Youth"? Box office poison and resource star, the cast of "The Martian"!
Perhaps even people in the Tang Dynasty did not expect that a movie with a box office of more than 900 million on the first day would plummet to 200 million the next day!
There were a lot of negative reviews on the Internet, which directly overwhelmed the Tangren official website!
This can also prove that the previous positive reviews, if nothing else, should have been achieved.

"This kind of operation by navy reviewers seems to have been a trend pioneered by the Tang Dynasty from the beginning, right?"

When Chen Fei asked this question, his eyes naturally fell on Liu Yifei.

If he remembered correctly, when "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was being promoted, the Internet was filled with many trolls.

"Well, yes." Liu Yifei nodded and responded casually: "When I refused to sign a contract with Tanghe and Huayi, I suffered a lot of criticism and abuse from the navy."

This wave can be regarded as the real version of Hedong and Hexi in thirty years.

The Tang Dynasty was so prosperous back then, but now it is extremely difficult to train the first lady of the company!

The fight between actresses is much crazier than that between male actors!
Many people thought that "Sad Fairy Tale" would be a box office hit, but they never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse in the end.

It is the normal state of competition in the industry to step on the drowned dog and push down the wall.

Chen Fei soon discovered that when the next day's box office statistics for "Sad Fairy Tale" were released, there were many mocking voices on the Internet.

As the "first sister" of Starlight + Wanda, Jing Tian's background is really deep and scary, and no one dares to touch her.

"call!"

Discussions about Jing Tian have also been very popular on the Internet recently.

If this process is followed, the criticism online will naturally be reduced a lot.

Currently, "New Mom Love Me Again" is firmly occupying the top three on Weibo's hot search list.

At this moment, Yang Mi's "bees" are biting very tightly, and it will be difficult to eliminate the impact in a short time.

As for the subsequent impact, it can only be left to time.

"With such a low box office on the first day, she is destined to be box office poison. Which film crew would dare to use her in the future?"

"Understood." The assistant responded and left quickly.

Chen Fei made a rough estimate and concluded that Guang Guang would suffer miserably this time.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

Two days ago, it was officially announced that he will be filming "Police Story 2013" with Chen Long.

"Huh? What happened? Didn't you claim to have a huge fan base before? How come your box office appeal is so small?"

Cai Yinong looked very ugly when he heard the news from his assistant.

"Special Identity", "New Mom Love Me Again", "Pacific Rim", "Time and Space Rescue".

Filming has been completed and there are 4 movies waiting to be released!
Currently being filmed is "Macau Storm".

After working with Cai Yinong for so long, the assistant is very familiar with this set of procedures.

Even if it was Si Dan Shuang Bing Yi Shu Yi Tang, it was still far behind her!
The nickname "Resource Girl" has long been spread in the industry. Even though other actresses are very envious, they are helpless.

There were even a lot of rumors among the crew of "Fuji Detective". Fortunately, the contract was signed earlier, otherwise it would be another matter whether Liu Shishi could play the second female lead.

If nothing else, Wang Changtian will definitely be more cautious in his subsequent film investments!

At the same time, while many netizens were criticizing "Sad Fairy Tale" and Tang Ren and Liu Shishi, many others were focusing on the other two movies.

If you look around, every movie has the heroine, and there has never been one with the second female lead!
Even in that co-production, even though she was in the third role, she was the first heroine and the female character with the most scenes.

After all, when "Da Wudang" flopped, Tangren put in a lot of effort, and now it has suffered a strong backlash!
……

Similarly, the newly established contractual relationship between Tangren and Guangguang is expected to come to an end.

"Tsk, tsk, I'm destined to be a TV star, forget about movies."

These voices all come from within the circle, and the main theme is a heart-breaking one!
Looking around, most of those who spoke out were second-tier actresses. Their purpose was simple, which was to hold back Liu Shishi and prevent her from climbing to a higher position and occupying more resources.

Taking a deep breath, she silently encouraged herself in her heart: "There is still a chance, there will be a chance. If this "Fuji Detective" can be a big success, Shi Shi's acting skills will definitely be recognized again... "

The actor did not respond, refused to be interviewed by the media, chose to keep a low profile as much as possible, and then found a top actress in the industry to hype...

As an insider, she knew very well that this would be the last collaboration between Tangren and Guangguang.

Many actresses have very perverted thoughts. Since I can't climb up, I'll drag you down and let's all struggle in the mud together!

"White Deer Plain", "New Mother Love Me Again".

Under such a premise, publicity and distribution resources will naturally not be much worse.

The former is known as an "adaptation of a masterpiece", while the latter is a famous "resource star" heroine, and has received almost the same level of attention.

"It's good now. I won't be able to do it anymore if I want to. Whether I can continue to be the heroine in movies is another matter."

Many people in the industry are waiting for the box office results of this movie, and many people are secretly praying that it would be best to repeat the mistakes of "Warring States".

"Mr. Cai, the film distribution department at Guangguang sent us an email. All promotions for "Sad Fairy Tale" have ended and all subsequent programs have been suspended..."

"The first movie I starred in was such a hit on the street. Even though I won the role of Golden Eagle Goddess, my popularity has not changed at all!"

After adjusting her mentality, she raised her head and looked at her assistant: "Continue to find the trolls and suppress the black material about Shi Shi on the Internet. I don't want to see the words 'box office poison', do you understand?"

Fortunately, "Fu Er Detective" was signed in advance, otherwise Liu Shishi would have come back in despair now.

It is estimated that all the profits earned from "Four Famous Catchers" will be lost to "Tongque Terrace" and "Sad Fairy Tales".

It is no exaggeration to say that Jing Tian's resource supply is only second to Liu Yifei.

Of course, this group of people definitely does not include top-tier actresses such as Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun.

……

"Isn't this script pretty good?! It's perfect for winning awards!"

In the courtyard, Zhou Xun and Liu Yifei were gathering together, discussing passionately a script placed on the table.

Chen Fei was lying on the rocking chair, shaking the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and responded: "The 'anti-trafficking theme' is originally used to win prizes. You can bring the Sixth Princess in. They like this theme the most."

Hearing this, the two of them nodded in unison, fully agreeing with this sentence.

Chen Fei first looked at Liu Yifei and asked, "How are you doing? Do you have any idea of ​​continuing to be a producer?"

After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he looked at Zhou Xun again: "You will be the heroine, and by the way, you will guide her and improve her acting skills.

How about I leave this book to you two and I'll help you invest? "

Hearing this, Zhou Xun's eyes lit up!
"Can my studio participate in investment?" She then quickly added: "As long as I participate in investment, I don't need to get paid."

Chen Fei thought for a while, but did not refuse: "I can give you 20% at most."

"No problem!" Zhou Xun agreed without hesitation.

Chen Fei's scripts, even if they are about literary and realistic themes, are well-known in the industry as box office harvesters. Even if it is only 20%, the income will definitely be much higher than her salary alone!

"Am I a producer?" Liu Yifei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She was just playing with tickets before, and she never expected that the box office of "Your Name" would exceed one billion!

This also led to her promotion directly from an actress to a well-known female producer in the industry.

If she agrees to continue preparing for "Dear", then her identity as a producer will be officially established.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Yifei did not refuse, but said with some entanglement: "But I have already promised Guo Fan to play the female lead in "The Martian", so I don't have time."

Chen Fei said casually: "There is no conflict between the two. I can wait until the filming of the scene over there is finished and then come back to prepare. There is no rush."

"Hey! This works!"

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she had already made up her mind.

She feels that being a producer is much more interesting than acting. Not only can she learn a lot of new knowledge, but she can also deepen her understanding of acting. It’s simply awesome!
Zhou Xun on the side was listening to the conversation between the two, his head filled with questions.

good guy?
So careless?

She was about to say something, but then she thought about it and chose to shut up.

Maybe I have become a part of their play, so let's just leave it at that.

"Sissi, you just said you would play the female lead in "The Martian". Which male lead? Are you ready now?"

Liu Yifei said nothing and silently turned her head to look at Chen Fei. The meaning could not be more obvious.

Chen Fei shrugged: "There is no way, this movie has to be distributed globally, and when it comes to international popularity, no one else except me can afford the box office, so I can only get it."

As he spoke, he also looked at the vegetable garden on the side.

There were a lot of potatoes placed there, which he used for practice. The purpose was to be able to skillfully complete the entire potato planting process in subsequent shootings.

……

It’s halfway through September and October is coming, which also means that the co-production film "Pacific Rim" completed by a Chinese and foreign cooperation will finally be released in mainland theaters.

Jing Tian specially took a leave of absence from the crew of "Macau" and cooperated with Wu Jing to promote the movie in the Mainland.

On the morning of the 16th, on the way to attend a variety show, Jing Tian saw the first-day box office results of "New Mom Love Me Again".

196 yuan.

When she saw this data, she was completely confused!

Even if the previous promotion was not very strong, with "Pacific Rim" continuing to draw traffic, it shouldn't be so miserable!
She quickly logged into Douban and focused on the movie reviews below the movie.

Looking around, the word "bad movie" appears one after another. On average, there is only one out of every twenty movie reviews that praises her.

Obviously, this film will be completely lost to grandma’s house!

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the tragic situation after the box office failure of "Warring States", and beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Lu Zheng's call came in: "Tiantian, the theater will completely withdraw "New Mother Love Me Again" this afternoon.

You just need to remember one thing, don't answer any questions you may ask about this movie.

The most important thing now is "Pacific Rim". There must be no mistakes in this film, do you understand? "

"it is good……"

Jing Tian responded softly, with a complicated expression on his face. Obviously, the movie she starred in is not even cannon fodder now.

Even in order not to affect the co-production, the movie has just been released for two days and will be completely withdrawn.

"Sacrifice the troops and save the commander-in-chief", this is the result that several investors came up with in less than five minutes.

Even if the investment involves losing money, Starlight still has to endure it.

However, Lu Zheng is actually quite lucky, thanks to the movie "Pacific Rim", otherwise Jing Tian will definitely make the same mistake as Liu Shishi this time and suffer ridicule and abuse from the entire Internet!

But now, China Film Group has personally said hello, and no one dares to touch this bad luck!

Jing Tian successfully escaped.

But "White Deer Plain" was not so lucky.

The original script is known as a "milestone of Chinese literature", and it is also the work of the Contradictory Literature Award, and the director is the Golden Bear Award-winning director at the Berlin Film Festival...

With so many buffs, many people are looking forward to this movie.

It's a pity that as great as the hope is, there is also great disappointment!

The finished film was cut from 220 minutes to 156 minutes, which is not even the 188 minutes that was screened at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year. It has completely lost the historical weight and charm of the original work.

For a movie with an investment of 1.3 million, the box office on the first day was only 1027 million!
Due to the withdrawal of "New Mother Love Me Again", the box office of "White Deer Plain" fell sharply the next day, rising to 1303 million.

But on the third day, the new box office revenue plummeted to 737 million!
Along with the box office decline, there were also large-scale negative reviews.

"The original novel is very exciting, but the adapted script and director are mediocre. I wonder if the more than four-hour uncut version would be better?"

"In the end, Bai Xiaowen fought back and shot Hei Wa to death, but it was deleted. Such a dramatic scene was deleted. What was originally a good-looking movie was reduced to nothing. I was really convinced!"

"With a prose-style plot and inconsistent editing, do directors now like stream of consciousness? There is a three-minute wheat field at the beginning. Do you want to hypnotize or brainwash it?"

"Pfft..."White Deer Plain" has been made into "The Legend of Tian Xiao'e", right? Is this to praise the director's wife? Others just let it go?"

"The erotic scene is good. He has such a good figure. I'm looking forward to the day I log in to Youku. I can't wait to see the edited content."

"Youku is really good. The quality of the content is getting higher and higher. I suggest the film crew put the uncut version on Youku."

Perhaps because he saw too many bad reviews online, Wang Quan'an came out to explain.

"If the movie playing time is too long, it will not be conducive to the viewing experience. Now these 156 minutes are the most condensed essence, which can best reflect the excitement of the story..."

Xiying even found a number of film critics to express their support, but what they said made people feel quite uncomfortable.

"The connotation of a movie needs to be savored carefully. The superficial story may seem a bit vague at first glance, but if you can truly taste the core, I believe you will fall in love with this movie..."

Chen Fei also saw the defense of the film studio and film critics, but he only had one thought in his heart.

"If it looks good, it looks good. If it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good. What's the core? Even the surface is ugly. Who would be willing to peel off the surface and look at the core?"

Watching a movie is not like going to bed, even if you turn off the lights!
……

"Director Chen, do you think we need to purchase the broadcast rights for this movie?"

When Chen Fei took time to inspect Youku, Gu Yongqiang suddenly asked him about the copyright purchase of "White Deer Plain".

"Buy it. As long as the price is not too outrageous, you can definitely buy it to replenish your film library. At the same time, you can train some bloggers who like editing and let them create secondary works. You won't be compensated."

"Okay, I understand."

Gu Yongqiang nodded, thoughtfully.

Chen Fei was scrolling through the review database of Youku's backend and ordered: "In addition to the original and purchased film and television copyrights, you can also set up an investment department to try to invest some money for some film and television enthusiasts to help them achieve my dreams."

As he spoke, Chen Fei pointed to a homemade movie on the screen: "Movies such as "Siping Youth" may seem a bit shoddy, but their content is the current audience's favorite.

You can sign an exclusive contract with them, bundle the "Siping Youth" series on the Youku platform, invest in them, and let them continue to make the second or even third part.

What we want to do is let a hundred flowers bloom! Self-made online dramas, self-made movies, and self-made variety shows can all be boldly extended.

Tencent Video, iQiyi, Sohu, they all suppressed them! "

Gu Yongqiang was so excited by his words that he immediately responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I have written down everything you just said. I will investigate and try it!"

Later, after Chen Fei chatted with Gu Yongqiang for an afternoon about Youku's current development direction and App development, he left Youku.

On the way, he received another call from Los Angeles.

"Boss, I have received a lawyer's letter from Harvey."

"Haha! Okay!" Chen Fei couldn't help but be happy: "No matter how much money is spent, we must form the best team of lawyers for me and drag this lawsuit on for two or three years. We must make it more popular!"

"Okay."

The lawyer suppressed his laughter. After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the number of the media he was familiar with and prepared to hold a press conference.

The second phase of the "Opening Incident" officially sets sail!

……

After a full month of release, "Your Name" is finally about to be released.

There is only the last week left, and the box office is currently set at 11.03 billion.

In order to exceed 12 billion in the next time, and even surpass "Heart Blossoms", Chen Fei and Liu Yifei launched a week-long promotional activity.

The interview with the Sixth Princess is essential.

After briefly telling interesting things about the filming, the inside story of post-production, and the interactions between the actors, the interview came to an end.

However, the Sixth Princess obviously didn't want to let Chen Fei go so easily, and she even made a mess in the last ten minutes!

"Director Chen, there is a popular saying in the film industry these days: 'Movies longer than three hours are not conducive to film schedules and box office growth, and it is easy for the audience to become distracted.' What do you think of this?"

Chen Fei was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, he replied:

"I would like to make a digression here. The science fiction movie "Interstellar" directed by me will be released in North America on December 12.

Although the specific release time in the mainland has not yet been determined, I can reveal in advance that the screening time of this movie is 169 minutes.

Coupled with some ticket advertisements, the film screening time has exceeded three hours. I hope everyone will remember to bring pillows and quilts so that you can take a nap if you are tired. "

Sixth Princess: "???"

……

Once this interview was broadcast, it immediately triggered a new round of heated discussions among practitioners in the film and television industry and netizens.

Is the 3-hour screening time long or short?
After analysis, many experts concluded that the film's screening time is too long, which greatly affects the viewing experience.

But netizens gave unanimous opinions:

"As long as the movie is of good quality, let alone three hours, we will watch it even if it is five hours!"

The results are obvious.

The finely edited version of "White Deer Plain" is really sexy!
……

Something interesting happened.

Three films, "One Man's Martial Arts", "Wolf Warriors", and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" were sent for review at the same time, and surprisingly they were successfully reviewed at the same time.

When the film bureau announced the censorship of the three films, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the industry.

"This is about to raise the butcher's knife to kill again!"

"I feel sorry for the movie that was released at the same time, and I have three minutes of silence for you."

"Feiyue Film and Television is really awesome. If we choose to go public, I can't even imagine how high the stock price will rise to."

At the same time, when many people were amazed by the release of these three movies, the official website of Feiyue Film and Television announced two more pieces of news.

"The latest animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" started by Feiyue Film and Television Animation Department will be officially launched on October 10."

"The casting for "The Martian" has ended and production will start on October 10th."

Along with the emergence of these two pieces of news, there is also a cast announcement list for "The Martian".

There are many names of stars in this table, but the most noteworthy ones are the leading actors and actresses!

Male protagonist: Chen Fei.

Heroine: Liu Yifei.

When the cast was announced, there was an uproar in the industry, and the hot search list on Weibo was dominated by it!
"What the fuck?! I seem to have seen the first domestic movie with a box office of over 20 billion!"

"A sequel to Gravity?"

"Hey, be good, Director Chen was just playing in space last time, but this time he's going to fly to Mars, right?"

"My favorite couple! Three pairs! Haha! Great!"

"Good guy, who can stand this?"

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the actresses in the industry were so envious that their eyes turned red with envy!

……

"Mimi, no wonder we lost. It turns out that this role has already been confirmed."

There was a trace of self-mockery on Zeng Jia's face, inexplicably feeling that she was simply too naive.

No wonder the company rejected her without hesitation. In front of Liu Yifei, the current Yang Mi was simply not good enough.

"Don't worry about it, we just do our best."

Yang Mi acted quite calmly, as if she was not affected at all, and her eyes were focused on the script of "Tiny Times" in her hand.

But if you observe carefully, you can still see the deep unwillingness in her eyes!
