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

Chapter 565 Rushing to 20 billion? Become a Mars farmer from today! What's the 'zero-wave pork rib girl'?
The first shot of the National Day schedule is officially launched by "Pacific Rim"!
Because several investors are top producers in the industry, many celebrities and media in the industry are cheering for this movie.

"The science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim" is officially released today, National Day."

"Fear fans, let's support this movie together. Girls can also drive mechas and fight monsters!"

"According to data from Wanda Cinema, it is difficult to get a ticket for the imax 3D giant screen theater. The ordinary 3D theater is full, and there are also long queues for 2D theaters."

"The theater chain stated that it will increase the number of films scheduled based on box office results and will definitely not disappoint movie fans..."

Jing Tian was quite excited. In just one morning, he directly posted more than ten Weibo messages to help promote the movie.

"Pacific Rim" is her first Hollywood movie starring in it, and it can be considered very representative.

This movie has attracted much attention since the project was established. After all, the investment lineup is so strong!
And the first day of release was the moment to witness the results.

Chen Fei noticed the treatment the film received.

The theater chain gave this top-notch science fiction blockbuster the National Day release, with a film scheduling rate of 33.6%, which can be said to be the best among all.

As for the specific box office on the first day, it depends on the data on the second day.

Considering that the pre-sale box office has exceeded 1 million, I guess the final result will not be too bad.

……

At the same time, on the day "Pacific Rim" was released, Chen Fei attended the launch conference of "Big Fish and Begonia".

There were not many guests and media present. After all, this was just an animated movie, and there were no real actors involved.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that Jiang Wenli would actually bring her niece over.

"This girl is very interested in dubbing. When I heard that Feiyue Film and Television's new animated movie was launching today, I wanted to come over and see if there were any suitable dubbing roles, so I could recommend myself.

I didn’t want to dampen her dream, so I brought her here. If there is a suitable role, please help Director Chen recommend it. Director Gu and I would like to thank you in advance..."

These words sound very nice, but the key is that the attitude is very low.

Nowadays, the film and television industry is deeply involved. More and more people are entering the industry, taking away many roles and opportunities.

If an actress wants to get ahead, in addition to having good acting skills, she also needs high-grossing movies.

And dubbing animated movies is also a good channel.

After being in this circle for so long, Chen Fei certainly knew that exchanges of favors and exchanges of interests were unavoidable.

Therefore, after taking a closer look at Ma Sichun, he raised his hand to greet Yang Yu.

"You can leave her business card. If there is a character suitable for her to dub in the future, you can ask her to come over and give it a try."

"it is good."

Yang Yu responded and turned to look at Ma Sichun.

"Thank you Director Chen, thank you Director Yang, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity."

The girl was quite clear-headed now. She quickly took out the business card she had prepared and handed it to Yang Yu.

"You're welcome."

After responding, Yang Yu put away his business card, turned around and left in a very straight manly manner.

Chen Fei had no intention of continuing the conversation with the two of them. After making an excuse, he left the premiere press conference early.

"The Martian" was about to start filming, and he had to go there a few days in advance to familiarize himself with the environment.

……

The next day, news about the production of "Big Fish and Begonia" appeared in entertainment reports.

However, because only Feiyue Film and Television is currently running on the animated film track, other people in the industry are not paying much attention to it.

In comparison, other producers are more concerned about the "Pacific Rim".

After all, the treatment this movie enjoys is too high!
The seven days of National Day are completely unique to it. No matter it is a domestic movie or an imported movie, there is no one scheduled to be released within this time node.

The only one that could compete was "Rescue 2", which was forcibly pushed to October 10th.

As for imported films such as "Cold Light of Day", "The Spy" and "Escape from the Shark's Mouth", they have also been moved to the middle of the year to ensure that they will not affect the film.

Wang Zhonglei is very lucky now that the release date of "Tai Chi 2" has been moved to November 11st, otherwise he may have suffered a disaster!

"The following promotions should try to avoid the shortcomings of "Tai Chi 1". The promotion center should not use 'sequel' as the slogan. It can be called a brand new movie..."

Wang Zhonglei refreshed the web page while holding a meeting with the employees of Huayi's publicity department.

Soon, as he clicked the refresh logo again, a string of numbers suddenly jumped out of the China Film official website.

Just a glance, and his eyes turned red instantly!

1.85 billion!
The box office was a blast!

It was a complete explosion!

"He took advantage of me again..." For a moment, Wang Zhonglei felt itchy with hatred.

"Tiantian, it's almost time. In one month, you will become the third billionaire heroine after Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei..."

Listening to Lu Zheng's voice on the other end of the phone, Jing Tian's face was filled with a bright smile.

She is currently paying attention to the fan reviews on Douban.

Different from the previous "New Mom Love Me Again", this time "Pacific Rim" almost all received positive reviews, and it is rare to see negative reviews.

"The special effects and 3D effects are very good. There is also a combination of human touch and mechanical combat. The story is simple and has no suspense. It has the feel of a typical Hollywood blockbuster, with heroism, supporting roles, women, and jokes. It is worth watching."

"What the hell? Wu Jing has completely changed his path of being a tough guy? Where is the old Ah Fei? Where is my "Xiao Li Flying Knife"?"

"I watched the IMAX 3D version. It was so beautiful! I can't express it in words! The effect was so shocking!"

"The Chinese-style mechas are so cool! Chi You, Xing Tian, ​​Nezha... they just become more and more handsome as I watch them. I'm really looking forward to the second part."

"Jing Tian's performance in this movie is quite good and worthy of encouragement. I highly recommend everyone to watch the IMAX 3D version. It's really shocking!"

"Finally, there is a sci-fi blockbuster about saving the world with a Chinese face. There is no sense of disobedience. It is great! Highly recommended!"

"Unknowingly, our Chinese-language films have reached this point today. It's really touching..."

Today’s Weibo profoundly proves that sentence: When you succeed, you will have friends along the way!

When "Warring States" collapsed in terms of reputation and box office, there were countless ridicules in the industry, as if Jing Tian was nailed to the pillar of shame.

But today, with the box office success of "Pacific Rim", a large number of celebrities suddenly appeared showing off their movie tickets and photos with Jing Tian, ​​and their words were full of praise.

Compared with before, the irony is not too strong!
……

"It's stable! It's absolutely stable if it exceeds 10 billion!"

When he received a call from Han Sanping, Chen Fei had already arrived at the set of "The Martian" and was coordinating the next shooting plan with the prop team.

Listening to the excited shouts on the other end of the phone, he acted quite calmly:
"It's just breaking 10 billion. It's a pity that there is no event similar to the launch of Tiangong-20. Otherwise, we can try to hit billion."

Han Sanping: "???"

If this had been done three years ago, let alone a Chinese-language film with a box office of over 10 billion, even if it had exceeded 5 million, it would have been a feat worth writing about!
But now there are already four purely domestic films with a box office of over 10 billion, and if nothing else happens, there will be a fifth one this year!
In a daze, Han Sanping suddenly discovered that domestic movies were already catching up with Hollywood movies without even realizing it.

"Is there really a day when it will surpass Hollywood blockbusters?"

He was secretly looking forward to it, but felt a little disappointed for no reason.

I don’t know if I can see this day during the time I take office?
……

1.85 million, 1.6 million, 1.27 million, 1.07 million...

With no other blockbusters competing at the same time and with excellent quality, the box office performance of "Pacific Rim" was very impressive.

After four days of release, the total box office revenue was 5.79 million!
As long as you are not blind, you can almost tell that this movie is destined to break 10 billion at the box office.

Many people in the industry are currently analyzing: How many billion will the final box office of this film be? Is there any hope of surpassing Gravity?
Unfortunately, a clear answer is not yet available.

However, judging from the real-time box office data released during the same period in North America, it is estimated to be a bit difficult.

The combination of Wu Jing and Jing Tian does not have any box office appeal in North America.

However, because sci-fi blockbusters have a natural audience, it still earned US$3727 million in the first three days of the weekend. Chen Fei himself is not particularly satisfied with the box office performance of "Pacific Rim" in North America, but several other investors have different opinions from him.

"3727 million U.S. dollars, which is a box office of more than million yuan, which is almost catching up with the investment cost. As a co-production, this result is already pretty good!"

"Well, since you think it's good, then just think of it as good."

Chen Fei didn't argue with Han Sanping. He didn't film "Pacific Rim" anyway.

He personally has high expectations for "The Martian". When it is released globally, the first weekend in North America must exceed US$6000 million to qualify.

Suddenly the executive director's voice came from a distance: "Director Chen, are you ready?"

“I’ll be right soon!”

Chen Fei first responded, and then walked straight to the planting warehouse where the soil was piled, preparing to become a Martian farmer.

Starting today, "The Martian" will officially enter shooting mode.

The film is expected to take two months to shoot, but the post-production time is as high as six months, which is also a flaw in science fiction films.

"Clearance!"

Guo Fan shouted with a loudspeaker, then walked to Chen Fei and reminded: "We need to use the most primitive farming methods."

Chen Fei nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ready."

As for growing vegetables, he is quite good at it since he was born in a rural area.

When he was in elementary school, every day after school, he would follow the old man to the vegetable garden or plant corn in the field, which was so ripe that he couldn't be more mature.

At this time, the prop master suddenly came over with a package filled with sealed bags.

A wicked smile appeared on Guo Fan's face: "For the sake of shooting effect, it is all filled with real feces. Of course, it is not human, but is made of compressed chicken feces."

Chen Fei took the bag and nodded again: "No problem, everything is for the later effects, I can bear it!"

Soon, all departments of the crew were put in place, and Guo Fan returned behind the director's monitor.

As the scene notes were recorded, filming officially began.

At this moment, Chen Fei completely transformed into a farmer, leveling the soil and digging ridges with simple tools.

During this period, he also pointed at the selfie device and muttered to himself from time to time, with filthy words constantly coming out of his mouth.

If a one-man show is to be exciting enough, all kinds of self-deprecation are indispensable.

Because the filming had just started, it was not going very smoothly. The entire crew, from the actors to the director and all the staff, were actually still in a state of search.

But even so, everyone was very serious and worked hard to fit in with each other.

You know, this is a production with an investment of up to 7.2 million. Once it messes up, no one can escape the responsibility. "High shooting standards" is a guideline that everyone must abide by.

At the end of the morning's shooting, the crew only shot six shots.

During this period, Chen Fei and Guo Fan had many discussions and coordinated various shooting matters.

It was break time at noon, and after seeing off the representatives of major investors, Chen Fei returned to the RV, eating lunch while updating entertainment news.

News that "The Martian" has officially started filming has appeared online, sparking quite a heated discussion.

In addition, there was another piece of news that attracted his attention.

Following the completion of "Big Shanghai", Bona held another media conference and announced in a high-profile manner that it will develop the martial arts blockbuster "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven".

Everyone in the mainland film industry knows that Bona has a very deep relationship with the Hong Kong community, and Yu Dong also relies heavily on the Hong Kong team.

According to public information, the latest martial arts blockbuster "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" also uses a Hong Kong Island filming team.

The director chose Zhang Zhiliang, and the producers were Yu Dong, Huang Jianxin, and Chen Kexin. Wu Yu served as artistic consultant and producer.

Chen Fei keenly noticed that the name "Huaxia Star" appeared again in the investor column.

Starting from "Big Shanghai" and then to "The Legend of the White-haired Witch", Huaxia Star, a company that had not appeared in the mainland for a long time, started to appear frequently. Its purpose could not be more obvious.

And the casting is also very interesting.

The female lead chose Mainland A-list actress Fan Bingbing, while the male lead chose Donnie Yen!

Once this combination appeared, it clearly meant that the old routines of Hong Kong movies for many years have once again reappeared in the world.

Not surprisingly, mainland public opinion directly surrounded Bona, calling Yu Dong a weakling and still licking those people in Hong Kong...

"Zhen Zixuan? Chen Kexin? Wu Yu? Huaxiaxing? Xiang family..."

Chen Fei murmured, his eyes seemed to be glowing!
He really didn't expect that this group of people would actually unite together.

Although Bona is the largest investor, at this time it seems to have become a platform and weapon for the Hong Kong film and television industry to counterattack the mainland film and television industry!

"Hey? Is this the fat man's complete betrayal?"

Chen Fei was inexplicably excited. He immediately made a phone call and told me: "Keep an eye on this "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch". Remember to notify me as soon as the movie is finalized."

The response came quickly: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei sipped tea leisurely.

With such a good opportunity right in front of you, of course you have to seize it!
……

In the afternoon, the filming of "The Martian" continued.

As Guo Fan shouted "Action", in the camera, Chen Fei covered his nose, opened a bag of feces and put it into the soil.

This thing may have been wrapped for a while, and the weather is a bit hot in October, so the smell after fermentation is particularly strong!

Even though Chen Fei blocked his nose, the pungent smell still penetrated into his forehead.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the fermented chicken manure he had handled with his own hands when he was a child.

The taste is so sour and refreshing!
He was extremely agile with his hands and feet. According to Guo Fan's request, he handled bags after bags of feces in front of the camera in preparation for planting potatoes.

There were five shots of using manure to grow potatoes, and it took two hours of back and forth before it was officially approved.

The final result was that when it was time for dinner, Chen Fei didn't even take a bite of the food.

Maybe it was because his hands were stained with so much chicken manure that when he smelled the food, he had an inexplicable smell of chicken manure.

It wasn't until the next day that he finally got rid of his feces and moved to another studio with the same layout, showing off his planted potato fields to the selfie camera.

In order to shoot this scene, Guo Fan had people specially plant potatoes in the studio a long time ago, and now they have basically grown.

Although the crew initially filmed one-man shows that were difficult to perform, after a short adjustment, everyone quickly got into working mode.

After the previous shooting of "Gravity", Guo Fan has a lot of shooting experience. Coupled with Chen Fei, an experienced "old director", shooting will naturally not be too difficult.

Even if there is an emergency on the set, the two of them can solve the problem as quickly as possible.

In addition to filming, Chen Fei did not forget to keep up with current events. After work every day, he would go for a walk in the "melon field".

At the end of the National Day week, "Pacific Rim" ushered in a new box office performance.

7.22 billion!
Han Sanping has already started planning the follow-up celebration banquet. He plans to hold it at the Great Hall of the People. This proposal has also been unanimously approved by several employers.

In addition, several movies that will be released at the end of the month and November have also launched pre-release promotional activities.

Perhaps to clean up the decline of "Tai Chi 1", Huayi invested a lot of promotional resources in "Tai Chi 2".

As the heroine, Yang Ying even took part in the battle herself. She posted a slogan on Weibo that as long as the box office of "Tai Chi 2" exceeded 4 million, she would publicly post bikini photos, which attracted the attention of many old porn fans!

However, most people's attention was not on her.

After all, judging from the live photos released at the Venice Film Festival, Yang Ying's bikini photos are really nothing worthy of attention.

In the words of Hong Kong media, what is so good about a "zero-wave pork ribs girl"?

In the opinion of netizens, compared to Yang Ying's bikini photos, the news about Huang Shengyi wearing a tight hip-hugging short skirt and bowing down to Zhao Benshan is more worthy of attention!
