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

Chapter 571: Self-discipline has stabilized my Taoist heart. The enemy's sharp knife has already stabbed me. It's time to fight!
"The box office on the first day was 274 million, and "The Rescuers" once again received bad reviews."

"Science fiction or nonsensical comedy? I can't tell the difference."

"Why? I'm so confused! Why does Jingtian pull her hips again in a short period of time every time she gets angry?"

"Compared to "Pacific Rim", "The Rescuers" is simply stupid!"

"Damn it, it's really bad... it's worse than "Tai Chi 2", can you compensate me for the ticket?"

The reviews from online media and netizens are almost one-sided. Without exception, they are all complaining about Jing Tian's new movie, which is really terrible!

Because of the popularity of "Pacific Rim", her new movie has attracted the attention of many fans.

But unfortunately, all the good fan base was defeated.

The box office the next day plummeted to 75, which was a complete failure!

Although the investment in this movie is not large, judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible to recover even a dime of the cost.

Especially the initial publicity investment was a complete mess!
Because of the movie's box office and fan reviews, Jing Tian was in a bad state when she rushed to the set of "The Martian" to shoot her less than one-minute cameo scene.

Guo Fan frowned and wanted to say a few words, but considering that this was someone pushed over by investor Wanda, he still endured it.

If a movie fails at the box office, even if most of the reasons are attributed to the director and screenwriter, the heroine will definitely be affected.

Faced with this situation, Chen Fei didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only turn his attention to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei stood up on her own initiative and walked toward the scene: "I'll go and enlighten her. You guys film other scenes first."

"Cut!"

Guo Fan shouted stop in time, turned to look at the executive deputy director on the scene, and ordered: "Transition, let's go shoot the next scene first."

Chen Fei stood up, glanced at Jing Tian who was wiping away tears, and shook his head helplessly.

Resource coffee is indeed the best way to become famous, but if you just pile up resources like this, it is actually better not to pile up.

Making a movie is not like working as a screw in a factory. The more you screw, the more you can earn.

As an actor, even if you only make one movie a year, or even only one TV series, as long as the quality is high enough, you can at least guarantee that you will survive for 2 to 3 years.

But if you only make bad movies every time, the more you make, the more consequences you will have.

Lu Zheng is too eager to get things done. If this continues, it will only harm this girl!
But Chen Fei couldn't help it. After all, Jing Tian was not an artist in his company, so he had no right or qualification to dictate to him.

……

"Sister Yifei, what do you think I should do? I have driven away all the fans I finally accumulated. Wanda also said that the film will not be saved and that it will be withdrawn in a few days. "

It was rare to find a friend who could talk to him. Jing Tian couldn't hold back for a while and said a few more words.

Unfortunately, this answer is destined to be unsolvable.

Liu Yifei could only comfort her: "You don't have to be too sad, it's just a movie that failed, and the impact won't be too big.

You still have several movies waiting to be released. As long as the next movie continues to sell well at the box office, your fans will naturally come back."

This sentence indeed makes sense, and Jing Tian can understand it, but the loss in her heart has not diminished at all.

"Many people on Weibo are saying that my acting skills are poor and my movie choices are also poor. If I didn't have financial backers behind me, I would have turned into a pot of porridge."

Liu Yifei understands this deeply. After all, she has had a similar experience.

After thinking about it, she said: "Actually, I suggest that you try to determine your own style first. Try not to be a hammer here or a hoe here. Find a comfort zone first, stabilize your base and fans, and then Try to break through..."

At this moment, Jing Tian listened very carefully and took these words to heart.

“What style is suitable for me?”

Many memories flashed through her mind.

There is the eldest daughter of the general's palace in "Mulan", there is the female mecha master wearing a horse-faced skirt in "Pacific Rim", there is the princess praised by fans in "Warring States"...

"I seem to be very suitable for wearing ancient costumes? Playing the role of the wealthy eldest daughter of a rich and noble family?"

……

Time soon came to the afternoon. After some guidance from Liu Yifei, Jing Tian quickly got out of the predicament of failure again and completed her own guest role.

Although she really wanted to stay with the crew for a few more days, it was a pity that the crew of "Police Story 2013" was still waiting for her.

In the end, she could only reluctantly leave.

After sending Jing Tian away, Chen Fei didn't forget to tease Liu Yifei: "Is that okay? Your enlightenment played a big role in making her recover so quickly."

Liu Yifei smiled: "Actually, she just lacks a friend who can talk to her often."

Chen Fei put away the smile on his face and stared at the commercial car going away. After a long time, he said leisurely: "She is also a poor silly girl."

The two glanced at each other subconsciously, saying nothing.

The scene about Chen Fei in "The Martian" has come to an end.

Because the next December will be an extremely busy period, Guo Fan has been focusing on filming scenes related to the male protagonist during this period.

Although high-intensity shooting will cause physical and mental exhaustion, Chen Fei can still endure it easily with his physical strength.

Until the end, the entire crew looked at Chen Fei as if they were looking at an iron bull!
"Director Chen, your body is really made of iron, right?"

Watching Chen Fei once again complete a high-intensity aerial tumbling scene, and then return to the rest area without blushing or heartbeat, Guo Fan's eyes were full of envy.

"We must be self-disciplined, exercise more, and don't fall into gentleness. Only self-discipline can enable us to climb to a higher peak, stay away from women, and stabilize our Taoist heart..."

Many people around heard these words and were stunned for a while.

Guo Fan scratched his head and secretly made up his mind to never have any evil thoughts in the future and to be self-disciplined...

However, the next second, when he looked at Chen Fei, he found that this guy was actually looking at Yang Yingfa's bikini photos and mumbling something.

"She's really just a girl with zero wave ribs? So she's just forced to go to the film festival?"

"Tai Chi 2" was released for more than 20 days. Not only did the box office fail to reach the 3 million that Wang Zhonglei said, but it was once unable to break through 1 million.

Yang Ying, who originally announced that she would release bikini photos after the box office reached 2 million, had to release the photo album in advance in order to boost the box office.

Unfortunately, this set of photos is really disappointing.

A ditch or a ditch, a butt but a butt...

Chen Fei was very puzzled. How did Huang Xiaoming fall in love with this model? Is it because the other person had a big mouth similar to Zhao Yanzi?

The movie market in November is very bleak. Domestic movies are being suppressed by "The Hunger Games 11", and there is not even the slightest sign of emerging.

Many people have pinned their hopes on December.

Li Bian held a press conference in China with "Life of Pi", and the response was excellent. Professional film critics promoted it as a classic with a box office of over 10 billion!

Not to be outdone, Feng Xiaogang also held a press conference.

However, unlike Li Bian's behavior of looking for film critics, Feng Dapao chose to do it himself.

On Weibo, another article was posted: "This is the most careful and serious movie I have ever made in my lifetime. I think it needs at least 10 billion in box office to be considered qualified."

On the other side, Lu Chuan, who is about to kick off the Lunar New Year holiday, has also come back with a wave of "returns with great honors" from abroad.

At the airport, he held many trophies from overseas Pheasant Film Festivals and was interviewed by the media under the protection of more than a dozen bodyguards.

"Many people compare "The King's Feast" with "The Banquet at Hongmen". In fact, I think there is no need to do so, because I never make bad movies!
I believe that after two and a half years of preparation, shooting, and post-production, this film will surely lead the way in the film industry and achieve a comprehensive victory in the Lunar New Year!

The feast is about to begin, please wait and see! "

The opponents have already shouted slogans, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" will naturally not lag behind.

While Ning Hao was leading a group of creators to promote the film, he officially announced that the world premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" will be held in the capital on November 11.

Although Feiyue Film and Television did not do any "suppressive" publicity, everyone knew very well that the goal of this movie would definitely be No. 1 at the box office during the Lunar New Year! …

Time soon came to the 25th, and the last scene about Chen Fei in "The Martian" began.

He was sitting on the park bench, looking into the distance, his eyes seemed to be filled with memories from many years ago.

"Tap Tap!"

Footsteps sounded, and a group of young reserve astronauts suddenly ran past him.

The camera suddenly switched, and several old friends and colleagues came from a distance. They all lamented that there are successors to the aerospace industry, and China's future will definitely be a sea of ​​stars...

"Cut!"

As Guo Fan called out the pause, Chen Fei's role in "The Martian" was officially announced.

This drama was actually shot very sparsely. In order to meet the schedule and time, many scenes were shot sparsely.

The dramas and scenes in Hongya, the Space Center, and the Space Agency were all shot separately, and they were not shot according to the plot.

Although Chen Fei's role has been completed, the follow-up finishing work will not be officially completed for at least another month.

After this drama, Guo Fan has accumulated enough experience, and the post-production shooting becomes more and more familiar.

"Boom!"

Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying each took a fireworks tube, came over with several staff members, and sprayed it directly over Chen Fei's head.

The colorful ribbons fell, and warm applause and cheers erupted, as well as congratulations.

"Congratulations to Director Chen for successfully completing the project!"

At such a happy moment, Chen Fei naturally would not disappoint, and immediately shouted: "I have asked people to prepare ten roasted whole lambs. Everyone will come to the barbecue banquet tonight. The whole crew will have a day off tomorrow. We will I won’t return until I’m drunk!”

For a time, the cheers on the scene became more and more enthusiastic!
Because the entire movie has not yet been completed, and only Chen Fei's personal role has ended, several investors were not called to participate in the closing banquet.

Otherwise, according to Han Sanping's character of overjoying success, this wedding banquet will definitely be held in a special way!
After the banquet, it was already past midnight. Chen Fei got into the RV and prepared to rush back to the capital overnight.

His time is very tight. In addition to attending the premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City", he also has to help review "The Murderer" and "Into the Dust".

Because there were no special effects shots, the post-production of the latter two movies ended very quickly.

Now, after he has reviewed it, you can apply for the Dragon Label and send it to participate in awards at major film festivals.

Both films are preparing to participate in next year's Berlin Film Festival. Even if they can't win the grand prize, they can still see the world.

As for selling copyrights, they are no longer considered for all movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television.

With the overseas distribution channel of Walton Pictures, and the opening of online and offline revenue channels, there is no need to sell distribution rights at all. Chen Fei can distribute the film to the world by himself.

Even if the theater chain cannot generate revenue, online on-demand, disc and other channels can still continuously recover costs.

Selling out is just a last resort, and sharing is the way to continue to generate profits!
……

Under Han Sanping's arrangement, the world premiere of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" was held in the Great Hall as expected.

In addition to the starring cast, the big bosses of several investors were all present, as well as the top male and female stars in the industry.

What surprised Chen Fei was that Yang Shoucheng had traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital, followed by a number of British and yellow artists including Nicholas Tse and Zhong Xintong.

"Mr. Yang is making such a big show, is he planning to settle in the Mainland? Or is Yinghuang planning to move his family to the Mainland?"

"Haha, Mr. Chen is joking." After greeting, Yang Shoucheng simply explained: "The "King's Feast" will also have its premiere tomorrow. Yinghuang invested most of the funds, so naturally we have to support it."

After hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly fell silent, feeling a little sympathy in his heart.

It is a fact recognized in the industry that directors from Xiangjiang are not good at making historical films.

If it were a mainland director, he would definitely have more control over historical films than a Hong Kong director.

But no matter what, the candidate shouldn't be that idiot Lu Chuan.

From "Nanjing!" Nanjing! "After that, Chen Fei discovered that if that idiot could make a good historical film, his name Chen Fei could be written backwards!

"Then I wish Yinghuang...a success at the box office."

If you say something against your will, you are really talking nonsense.

……

Compared with the premieres of other movies, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" has a much bigger profile.

The reason is simple. The investment in promoting this movie is as high as 1.5 million!
It is no exaggeration to say that this investment is completely top-notch in Chinese movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming.

When doing the promotion, Chen Fei had only one request: "The audience doesn't have to watch it, but they must have heard the name of this movie!"

Today's premiere is also of high standard and high style.

In addition to the live broadcast on online platforms such as Six Princesses, Weibo, and Youku, there were also various stunning singing and dancing performances, as well as the participation and blessings of many international superstars from Hollywood.

Leonardo, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Downey Jr.…

As big-name superstars arrived one after another, the media and guests at the scene were a little confused for a moment.

It was such a grand event, people who didn’t know it thought it was the premiere of a Hollywood blockbuster!
Interviews with main creators, official viewings, interviews with guests...

The process was very smooth and ended smoothly without any obstacles.

There was a lot of discussion about the content of the film, and most of them were speculating on how much box office this stunning film with many spectacles from different perspectives would eventually earn.

Unfortunately, because Chen Fei refused to accept any interviews, everyone's hearts were covered with a veil of curiosity.

After finally meeting these international superstars, the domestic media will naturally not let them go.

As the most popular superstar at the scene, Leonardo was directly surrounded by the media.

"Leon, have you heard about the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" before? Will you be confused during the movie?"

"Not really." Leonardo shook his head and questioned the reporters in a rhetorical tone: "Don't you know? The English version and comics of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are sold in Los Angeles. is very popular and has been in the top three bestsellers for three months in total..."

There were many exclamations at the scene, and many reporters had blank expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not know about this.

Whispering voices kept ringing:
"It turns out that the influence of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has spread abroad..."

"Good guy, let me tell you, why did you shout the slogan of simultaneous global release?"

"No wonder the General Administration chose this film to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It turns out there is such an inside story..."

Chen Fei ignored DiCaprio, who was surrounded by the media, and had a brief chat with Matthew McConaughey about matters related to the promotion and release of "Interstellar" and "Dallas Buyers Club".

"We have completed a round of global publicity and the response has been very good. After the movie is officially released, a new round of global roadshows will be launched..."

Matthew McConaughey was very excited when talking about the topic of "Interstellar".

Because judging from the results of several early small-scale screenings, movie fans and critics are very optimistic about this movie, and there are many voices of praise on major platforms.

But when discussing "Dallas Buyers Club," Matthew McConaughey frowned.

"Now there are many negative rumors about the movie in the major media. Some media and film critics have claimed that the anti-heroic protagonist 'Ron' is not suitable to participate in the Oscar competition, and even the film failed to break through the film industry. Transphobic exposition formula.

Movies that are decent, magnificent, and shining with heroic light should truly be the darlings of the Oscars, rather than promoting non-mainstream movies..."

After listening, Chen Fei suddenly laughed.

No need to guess, other competitors of "Dallas Buyers Club" are taking action again!

And judging from the style of behavior, if nothing unexpected happens, the main driving force behind this is still that idiot Harvey.

"I will fly to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. The enemy's sharp knife has already stabbed me. It's time to step forward and fight!"
