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

Chapter 587: Stand up and kick? The selection of the four young actresses like an exorcist dance, has "The Crossing" set sail?

After reviewing the finished products of "Iron Man 3", "Thor 2: The Dark World" and "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier", Chen Fei went straight to Flory's Red Bull Studio.

It just so happened that there were no plans to shoot any movies recently, and the deadline for completing the new task was only half a year, so he simply decided to finish the system task first.

Without carrying any food or daily necessities, go to the Antarctic glacier and survive for a week.

The task was not easy, he had to first say hello to Red Bull and arrange all the logistics.

……

At the same time, as time came to February, the two movies "Interstellar" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" have officially come to an end.

The former's current global box office has reached 14.5 billion US dollars, with 5.5 million US dollars in North America alone.

And this is under the premise that it has not yet been released in China.

After many adjustments by China Film, "Interstellar" has now been scheduled to be released in China on March 3, and will compete with many Hollywood movies such as "Resident Evil 1".

As for "The Tomb: The Mystical Ancient City", due to its nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, the box office experienced a decline in the last few days.

Up to now, the total domestic box office has reached 15.4 yuan, while in North America it has stabilized at 2.5 million US dollars.

However, the distribution in other countries is still ongoing and has not yet ended.

If it can win something at the next Oscars, I think there will be a significant increase in the global box office.

At the same time, movies that were released in December, such as "The Great Shanghai Adventure", "The Guillotines", and "Life of Pi", have also been gradually withdrawn from theaters in China.

"The Great Shanghai", which featured two "Xu Wenqiang" competing against each other, only earned 1.4 million yuan at the box office.

As for "The Guillotines" starring Ruan Jingtian and Huang Xiaoming, it didn't even cause any waves and ultimately flopped with a box office of 7185 million.

However, "Life of Pi" performed well. Under the influence of films such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Wolf Warrior" and "The Grandmaster", it still soared to 5.03 million.

Overall, Hollywood movies still dominate Chinese-language movies, and very few can really stand up to the competition.

As for the movies in January, "Wolf Warrior" is still the best at the moment!
After a month of screening, this film about modern warfare and the king of soldiers actually earned a box office of 6.36 million yuan!
Wang Shiliang, who just switched to being a film director under Feiyue Films, has become a director in the 6 million box office club, and Wu Jing has once again become the leading actor in a best-selling movie after "Pacific Rim", directly stepping into the ranks of domestic first-line male stars.

The voices of envy in the circle are endless, and this dream-like scene can only appear in Feiyue Films.

At the celebration party, several main creators of the film were asked about the sequel during interviews.

Wu Jing was not aware of this for the time being, so he said vaguely: "Director Chen has not yet informed me about the sequel. If there is, I will definitely make time for it."

Wang Shiliang knew more about it. After thinking about what Chen Fei had said to him, he simply revealed, "There are indeed plans for a sequel, but we haven't decided when it will be released yet. Because Director Chen is very busy, the script is currently being written..."

After the interview, the news spread immediately and caused heated discussions in the circle.

This was naturally instructed by Chen Fei, in order to warm up for "Wolf Warrior 2".

Although the sequel may not be released for several years, giving fans some fantasies and expectations is also a common way to attract fans.

Like "The Monkey King: Hero is Back 2" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2", these are the best examples.

……

"Without any supplies or food? Survive on the Antarctic glacier for a week?"

Inside the Red Bull studio, Flory felt a headache after listening to Chen Fei's words that sounded like a fairy tale.

This is truly a great dad!

Previously they did a space jump, and now they are heading to Antarctica, and they are also trying some kind of extreme survival!
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Where is Antarctica?
That is the place with the least biological species in the world, and can be considered a deserted place!

Apart from penguins, which have a particularly strong ability to withstand cold and whose main food source is fish in the sea, there are basically no other kinds of creatures in Antarctica.

What's more, the highest temperature in Antarctica is below zero, and the average temperature throughout the year is more than ten degrees below zero!
To survive in such an environment, without the protection of thick cold-proof clothing, even if Chen Fei is really strong, how long can he last relying on his personal physical fitness?
Chen Fei didn't pay any attention to Flory's expression, and said to himself: "Besides myself, I will bring someone else with me."

"Who?"

"Leonardo DiCaprio."

"What the fuck???" Flory cursed directly: "If it were you, you should be able to hold on in the early stages, but can he... stand it?"

"Prepare a set of winter clothes for him. I'll take him there to try it out first, and then I'll give it to him when he really can't stand it anymore."

"Ok."

Flory responded, feeling inexplicably sorry for Leo.

Jack, who was loved by thousands of girls, was kicked up and kicked by Chen Fei when he came to him!
……

After arranging the next work, Chen Fei left the Red Bull studio.

When he went out, there happened to be a movie theater nearby. After thinking for a while, he went in and bought a ticket for the movie "Zero Dark Thirty".

I heard that in order to achieve the best filming effect, the film used real water torture, beatings, and insults.

He was quite curious about how "excellent" Jessica Chastain's acting skills were in the film.

After 157 minutes, Fade Chen left the theater, and couldn't help but sigh to himself: "What's the difference between this and an 18+ movie?"

From this, we can also infer that a film rating system would never appear under the domestic market conditions.

If we really let go completely, it will inevitably open a Pandora's box!

After visiting Marvel Entertainment to check on the post-production progress of the second season of Shameless, the work in New York came to a temporary halt.

Chen Fei did not stay here for long. After a night of friendly play with Gal Gadot, he flew back to Los Angeles.

He had just returned to the company and before he sat down to drink some water, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

Fade Chen shouted, his eyes subconsciously looking outside the door.

The next second, the door was pushed open and Michael Mann's face appeared behind it.

"Fei, I'm here to ask you for investment."

Chen Fei smiled and said, "Have you already understood the script of Nomadland?"

"Yes." Michael Mann nodded. "Once the funds are in place, I will start casting and strive to produce the film before June, just in time for the selection of various Oscar precursor awards."

"Okay."

Fade Chen nodded, picked up the phone, and called the head of the production department directly.

Walt Disney Studios is actually very similar to a car manufacturer, except that the latter makes cars while the former makes movies.

The film shooting process in Hollywood has almost been standardized. Various departments within the company will cooperate with each other, like a sophisticated assembly line, making movies very easily.

As for the director, before he becomes a top-tier superstar, he is actually not much different from a monkey wrench.

After arranging the relevant matters, Chen Fei no longer cared about it. The production department would assist Michael Mann to complete the preparations as quickly as possible.

He then turned his attention to the domestic situation.

As the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival approaches, many domestic crews have set off for Germany, intending to shine at the film festival!
The crews of "Hidden in the Dust" and "The Murderer" are naturally among them.

As the screenwriter and producer of the film, Chen Fei certainly could not be absent.

However, he was not planning to go there so early.

The Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony is on February 2th. There would be nothing to do if I go too early, so I might as well stay in Los Angeles and draw storyboards.

He has already decided which movie he will make next and has already started making the preliminary preparations.

In addition to the news about the Berlin Film Festival, Chen Fei also noticed that the selection of the new Four Little Flowers has begun.

Four years have passed, and except for Huang Shengyi, the other three of the last four young actresses are doing quite well. This year's selection also focuses on the hottest new generation of female stars in the entertainment industry.

In order to be selected, many people have already started working hard.

Up to now, the recognized number one is Shu Chang. The movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" directly pushed her into the ranks of the hottest first-line actresses in the circle.

The second is Jing Tian, ​​a well-known resource-rich girl in the circle. She became very popular last year with "Pacific Rim" and has countless resources. It is not surprising that she got a preliminary spot.

As for the third candidate, Huayi seems to want to push Bai Baihe from its label.

Yang Ying is obviously also very interested in this position and has recently started to hype it up online.

The rest of the people including Liu Shishi, Ni Ni and others were also very excited and seemed to be ready to strive for this spot.

Unlike the previous session in which Liu Yifei participated in the selection, CCTV also joined in, and hundreds of mainstream media outlets jointly selected the event.

This session feels like a riot of demons.

Many companies are spending money and manipulating public opinion in an attempt to promote people to the top, and their main approach is to operate behind closed doors.

Chen Fei looked at it for a while and soon lost interest.

The public opinion these people spread is really too exaggerated. For the sake of popularity, they even do not hesitate to shit in public. The more you watch, the more disgusted you feel.

Especially Yang Ying, who actually dragged out Huang Xiaoming's ex-girlfriend and framed her as a mistress, and turned herself into the righteous party.

There are actually many fans supporting him online, and he seems like a brainless fan.

Unconsciously, Chen Fei inexplicably had a familiar feeling.

"Why are these people competing to be worse?"

He complained secretly and turned all his attention to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

The film will be released in less than a week, and it has been heavily promoted, and it seems to be set to sweep the Spring Festival box office.

Even though Stephen Chow is no longer the leading actor, his fan base and box office appeal are still very strong.

Yesterday, he and Ma Yun held a media seminar in the capital!

However, the content revealed at the symposium made many people secretly give Zhou Xingchi a thumbs up.

Facing the capital, he did not show his usual low emotional intelligence, but instead said a famous quote: "I think Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is a perfect work, and the only regret is that Mr. Ma did not play the role of Sun Wukong."

Ma Yun’s reply was also very interesting: “Zhou Xingchi asked me to play the role of Sun Wukong, but I didn’t agree. In fact, it was because my schedule was too full and the pay was too high. However, I agreed with his idea of ​​inviting me because I positioned myself as the Monkey King, and I dared to fight in any industry…”

This is very interesting.

Perhaps to outsiders, this is just a manifestation of self-confidence and arrogance.

But to people in the industry like Chen Fei, this clearly means Alibaba’s determination to enter the film and television industry!
This person is indeed determined not to give up. After struggling with Youku for a long time and failing to make a breakthrough, he ran to iQiyi.

He even spread the word in the circle that he intended to acquire a number of film and television companies including Orange Sky, Feiyue Films, and Bona, in order to redefine the film and television industry.

According to Su Guohai's report, Alibaba even specially formed a team to participate in investments in the film and television industry in order to gain the right to speak.

Feiyue Film and Television is also one of their targets.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei was not short of money and chose to reject all investments from Alibaba, even though the other party asked him to name his own price.

“Industry Paraquat” is not a false reputation, and he does not want to bring this wolf into his home.

As for other film and television companies, what do they have to do with him?
……

As "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is about to be released, "The Grandmaster", which has been on the air for a month, has finally come to an end.

On February 2, the film company officially announced the film’s total box office results.

The figure of 2.89 million directly broke the box office record of all Wang Changwei's previous films.

It’s a pity that the box office ultimately failed to break 300 million, and even the documents for postponing the release were ruthlessly rejected by the Film Bureau.

Although the box office data is a bit disappointing, Zhang Ziyi doesn't care about that.

Recently, thanks to the popularity of the Oscars and "The Grandmaster", she has been very active on the Internet, frequently appearing in the news pages of major media.

However, this kind of attention-seeking behavior has both advantages and disadvantages.

Being too arrogant will always make people target you.

The online public opinion gradually evolved from previous praise to later ridicule and mockery.

"Isn't it just that he chose a film with a pretty good subject matter? What's there to brag about? Isn't the acting that bad?"

The attacks by the troll army even extended to the movie.

"What's the use of the name 'The Grandmaster'? In my opinion, it would be better to call it 'The Story of Gong Er'."

"Liang Zhaowei, can you tolerate it? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not tolerate it."

"One successful movie doesn't mean much, what about the next one? Do you think there will be another role like Gong Er for you?"

Controversies about Zhang Ziyi flooded the Internet, and a tit-for-tat back-and-for-tat battle began again. It was so lively!
At the same time, the Film Bureau’s year-end summary report was also released.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City", "Your Name" and "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", three movies with box office revenue of over 10 billion, became the top three in this year's Chinese-language movie box office list.

As for Pacific Rim, it is not included in the list because it is essentially a co-production.

For a time, Feiyue Film and Television was once again pushed to the top of the film and television industry, far ahead of others and enjoying the envy and jealousy from other film and television companies.

Looking around, so far, Feiyue Films is the only company that has produced a movie with a box office of over 1 billion.

Others such as Huayi and Bona, although they boast loudly, have no ability at all. They can't even break 7 million box office, let alone break billion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Guohai announced a recruitment plan: "We welcome capable managers, post-production personnel, and producers to make progress together with Feiyue Films."

For a time, several well-known production companies in the circle became nervous, fearing that the backbone of the company would be "seduced" away.

……

On the day when Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was released, Chen Fei saw a lot of news that netizens talked about with great relish.

The film "Getting Better and Better: Village Evening" co-produced by Bayi Film Studio and China Film Group was unexpectedly cut in line and aired on the day of the Spring Festival.

That afternoon, Yang Mi expressed her interest in the new selection of the "Four Little Flowers" when she attended a promotional event with other main creative members of the "Love in Seattle" crew.

At the same time, Tangren announced a new TV drama plan, stating that it would independently invest in the production of "Startling by Each Step", the sister series of "Startling by Each Step", with the same cast as before.

The next day, perhaps in order to raise the company's visibility, Huayi announced another piece of news.

"Jointly produced by China Film Group, Huayi, Pony.com and LeTV, with Wu Yu as the chief director, the epic blockbuster The Crossing, known as the Eastern Titanic, has officially begun preparations.

In terms of actor selection, an invitation-based audition will be held, and Zhang Ziyi is currently the only actor selected.”

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately sparked heated discussions in the circle.

At this time last year, the preparation plan for "The Crossing" was launched. Now, after a full year, construction is finally about to begin.

Zhang Ziyi reacted very quickly and responded immediately: "Thank you very much for Director Wu Yu's trust. I will join the crew within the specified time, strictly comply with the crew's regulations and requirements, and add my support to the voyage of The Crossing..."

These words were very well said and received likes and comments from Wu Yu, as well as friendly support from many producers.

However, Chen Fei felt like laughing when he saw it.

"An Eastern version of Titanic? I want to see how fast and how far your ship can run."
