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

Chapter 670 Hot search! Hot search! Topped the hot search list for many consecutive days!

The Weibo Night dinner didn’t end until 11 o’clock.

When Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were walking back, they could see many updates from celebrities on Weibo, some of them were posting award certificates and trophies, some were posting photos with various celebrities.

Looking around, the ones who appear most frequently are undoubtedly Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.

Although the two did not present or receive any awards tonight, they were the most popular guests and received a lot of attention.

Especially those third-tier and above artists, when they saw Chen Fei, their eyes turned red and they wanted to eat him alive!

In addition to this, a large number of fans have also emerged, and while supporting their own idol artists, they are also working hard to pull down their competitors.

The entire Weibo is a mess, it's a complete mess.

However, after just over an hour, this situation changed.

Because the attention of the entire entertainment industry was attracted by a piece of news coming back from abroad!

"The Berlin International Film Festival Organizing Committee officially announced today the nominations for the 64th Berlin International Film Festival's main competition unit, panorama unit, short film competition and other units."

"The film "Black Coal, Thin Ice", produced by Feiyue Films, produced and supervised by Chen Guofu, directed by Lu Yang, and starring Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei, and Wang Jingchun, has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit and will compete with "Tuina" directed by Lou Ye for the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival."

"Earlier, Dog Thirteen, directed by Chinese director Cao Baoping, won the Crystal Bear Unit International Jury Special Mention Award, which is undoubtedly a good start for Chinese-language films to participate in this year's Berlin International Film Festival. I hope that Chinese-language films can shine in Berlin again..."

In just half an hour, news about Berlin dominated the headlines, temporarily suppressing the popularity of Weibo Night.

At this moment, even though it was already midnight, the film industry was still in an uproar!
Two Chinese-language films have been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival. Doesn’t this mean that the hope of winning an award has been raised once again?
The most excited person would definitely be Chen Guofu!
Even though it was late at night, he still sent more than a dozen Weibo posts, thanking many people solemnly, among whom Chen Fei and Feiyue Films were mentioned repeatedly!
Since being "fired" by Huayi, he has been under a lot of pressure from the industry in the past year.

According to Wang Zhonglei, his level is too poor and he is no longer capable of leading Huayi to higher heights in the film and television industry.

The appearance of these words was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chen Guofu!

There were even rumors about him in the industry, saying that he was too old, his producing and directing skills had seriously declined, and he was no longer fit to be used.

Faced with these voices, Chen Guofu naturally felt very aggrieved.

He knew in his heart that Huayi was looking for a scapegoat for their failure, and he naturally became the best target.

But he refused to give up!

He knew the reason behind this. He understood that Huayi was deliberately making him take the blame, and even wanted to nail him to the pillar of shame and completely destroy his reputation.

In the eyes of outsiders, the failure of many of Huayi’s films last year was all due to Chen Guofu.

And now, with "Fireworks in the Daytime" successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit, he, as the producer, naturally deserves credit for his contribution!

At this moment, the rumors about his poor ability and declining level have been self-defeating.

And if he can lead the film to successfully win an award, then his status in the industry will skyrocket and he will be successfully promoted to a top producer!
"Hahahaha, awesome! So fucking awesome!"

Looking at the three words "Chen Guofu" that kept appearing on the Internet, he inexplicably felt a sense of pride in his heart.

This moment belongs to "Fireworks in the Daytime" and also to Chen Guofu!

It was late at night and many people were still awake, so the Weibo posts of Chen Guofu, Lu Yang, Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei, Wang Xuebing and others were filled with congratulations.

"Mr. Chen, I must express my gratitude to you..."

Chen Guofu called Chen Fei overnight, his words full of excitement and excitement.

"Haha, it's still early. When you bring me the Golden Bear trophy from Berlin, I'll throw a celebration party for you!"

Chen Fei said generously that if "Fireworks in the Daytime" could win an award, Feiyue Films would have three Golden Bears and one Silver Bear.

Looking around, who in the entire domestic entertainment industry has such terrifying strength?

"I will definitely work hard. Tomorrow I will take the crew to Berlin and start promoting it in advance..."

As the saying goes, where some are happy, others are sad.

Different from the celebration at Feiyue Film and Television, at this time in Huayi Company, the expressions of the brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun were extremely interesting.

Even though it was already late at night, the two of them did not feel sleepy at all.

Looking at the words "Chen Guofu" and "Fireworks in the Daytime" that kept appearing on the Internet, the two brothers felt as if they had lost more than they gained.

Obviously, Chen Guofu was from Huayi, but now he has become the director of a rival company and even helped the rival company obtain the qualification to participate in the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Damn it! The more I think about it, the more frustrated and angry I feel!

People, even if they make a mistake "accidentally", usually like to stubbornly deny it and will never admit their mistake.

Wang Zhonglei is such a person.

"Humph! This Chen Guofu! When he was at Huayi, he was always sneaky and perfunctory in his work. Now that he has left Huayi, he has become more serious about his work."

Wang Zhongjun knew what his brother meant, so he immediately said, "When you are interviewed by the media, you can reveal some information appropriately. Don't let Chen Guofu have it too easy!"

"Well, I understand." Wang Zhonglei responded, his face suddenly darkened again: "The stock price will definitely be affected tomorrow."

For a listed company, the loss of talent will definitely cause fluctuations in stock prices.

When Chen Guofu left the company, the stock price fell a lot. Thanks to Gu Changwei's joining later, the stock price was pulled back up.

And now, the "talents" of its own company have made remarkable achievements on the rival side, which undoubtedly reveals Huayi's decision-making failure.

Just like when Ge You signed the contract with Yinghuang, Huayi’s stock price will inevitably experience ups and downs.

"That's fine." Wang Zhongjun smiled. "In a few days, Huayi will hold its 20th anniversary shareholders' meeting. By then, we can announce the subsequent plans, which will surely lead to a reverse growth in the stock price!"

When talking about this, both brothers were a little excited.

Especially Wang Zhonglei's expression, which was full of expectation and confidence, as if he was about to witness history!
However, when daybreak came, along with the announcement of the Berlin International Film Festival nominations, another piece of news came directly to the fore and dominated the headlines of major entertainment news websites!

"Hot news, the Lunar New Year blockbuster "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Han Sanping, Jiang Wen, Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing and other actors, has successfully exceeded 34 billion yuan in total box office on its 20th day of release, and has been fixed at 20.34 billion yuan!"

“Good news: The Chinese-language film market has officially entered the 20 billion yuan box office era!”

"Director Chen Fei has once again broken the domestic film box office record. Not only has he become the first director to join the 10 billion yuan box office club, he has also successfully become a director in the 20 billion yuan box office club!"

"The sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian" starring Chen Fei is about to be released. The second movie to enter the 20 billion box office club is about to hit the theaters!"

"There are only 14 days left before "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is released, and the box office is expected to exceed 22 billion! A new record!"

First there was Weibo Night, then the Berlin International Film Festival, and then the movie box office broke 20 billion...

In just one day, the entire film and television industry felt as if it had been "struck by lightning" and "had its worldview refreshed."

Before we knew it, domestic films have entered the era of 20 billion box office. Isn't this too fast?
Suddenly, everyone realized that, let’s not talk about the 20 billion box office era, just the 10 billion box office era, except for the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons directed by Zhou Xingchi, all other 10 billion box office movies seemed to be related to Chen Fei. They were either directed by him, or simply invested in or produced by him.

Apart from this, other domestic film production companies seem to have not yet produced a movie that has grossed over 10 billion yuan!
In short, the progress of domestic films has always been completely controlled by Feiyue Films!

The day of the 16th passed very quickly.

China Film Group issued three announcements in a row, highly praising the group's fruitful achievements in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", while also recognizing the great contributions made by the two-term chairmen of China Film Group, La Beikang and Han Sanping, and looking forward to the expectations for "The Martian".

Even the Film Bureau sent a rare congratulatory letter to celebrate the successful entry of domestic films into the 20 billion box office era!
You know, for China Film Group and the Film Bureau, these are real achievements, enough to keep the incumbent leaders in their seats for a year or two.

What shocked the industry was that even in the evening news broadcast, there was a 20-second report about "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

This movie is so damn "correct".

Being a mainstream movie, it has achieved such excellent results. Shouldn't it be praised highly?
Even in the future field of cultural exports, this is an achievement and template worthy of special mention.

However, compared to the external influence, the industry pays more attention to the revenue of this movie!

A long time ago, Feiyue Films signed gambling agreements with major theater chains.

The agreement clearly states that in the future, commercial films invested by Feiyue Films will be divided based on a box office of 7 million as the bottom line. For every increase of 1.5 million in the box office, the share ratio will increase by 48%, with the final upper limit being %.

And now, this profit-sharing condition is undoubtedly met.

Assuming we calculate based on the 20 billion box office, after removing a series of external factors such as film special funds, business tax, investment share, etc., the film's net profit has definitely exceeded 9 million, or even 10 billion!

This is just the box office revenue. If you add in a series of revenues such as in-film advertising, foreign copyrights or box office sharing, the final revenue of this movie is likely to exceed 15 billion!
When this number appeared on the desks of several production companies, two listed companies, led by Bona and Huayi, were the first to remain silent.

This amount of income is already equal to the film and television investment income of the two companies combined in one year!
What makes them extremely envious is that Feiyue Films actually has such a movie!
"The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy" was already so impressive, they couldn't even imagine how terrifying the box office revenue would be when "The Martian", which cost 7.2 million yuan to make, was released.

……

People in China were shocked by the fact that "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was nominated for the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival and that "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" had a box office of over 20 billion yuan, but just one day later, news about the Oscars came back.

"Excerpted from Academy Daily:

"Nomadland", written by Chinese director Chen Fei and directed by Michael Mann, was successfully nominated for this year's Academy Awards.

The nominated awards include: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Cinematography, a total of six categories! ”

At this moment, the film industry exploded again!

You should know that before this, "The Hunt" and "Dallas Buyers Club" directed by Chen Fei had both won the Best Picture and Best Director awards.

And now, the work written by him has once again received six nominations including Best Picture and Best Director.

This means that this movie has a good chance of winning another award!
Compared with this news, other news about Chen Kaige's "Search" failing to be nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award seems so insignificant.

For a moment, the Internet was boiling again!

Chen Fei's Weibo was filled with various congratulations:

"Congratulations to Director Chen, the screenwriter's work has once again been nominated for an Oscar regular award!"

"Haha, there is no harm without comparison. This is the third time that Brother Chen Kai has been rejected by the Oscars, right?"

"Congratulations to Director Chen, see you on the Oscar red carpet!"

"Chen Fei's screenwriting skills are indeed strong, and I am very convinced of this. It's just a pity that he was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film. If it was given to the film "Earthquake" directed by me, I believe it would have made some achievements!"

"Congratulations to Chen Fei. I would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that 'One Step Away' will be competing in Cannes. Everyone, please wish me success!"

For three consecutive days, all entertainment news websites, including Weibo, were closely related to Feiyue Films, which made many production companies in the industry envious.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat!

Under the premise of being constantly dominated by hot searches, it is not surprising that Feiyue Film and Television has been targeted by many internet trolls and countless media.

The Spring Festival period is originally a popular period in the film and television industry, but all the hot searches were taken away by Feiyue Films. The producers behind other movies will certainly not give up, and it is inevitable that they will be besieged by Internet trolls.

Chen Fei didn't mind this at all. He took this opportunity to test Feiyue Film and Television's public relations level and efficiency.

However, all this was done under his supervision.

While accepting the test, you must also make sure that you do not encounter attacks that are too fatal.

……

I don’t know if the Film Bureau wanted to give back or what, but the next day, they suddenly announced that “the animated film Big Fish and Begonia has been successfully approved.”

For a while, the industry was in an uproar again!
"Despicable Me 2", which was released on the 1.8th, earned a total box office of million yuan in just one week.

The movie "Boonie Bears: Raiders of the Lost Ark", which premiered on the 17th, earned 3199 million yuan at the box office on the day of its premiere.

All this indicates that the spring of animated films has arrived.

Now, "Big Fish and Begonia", produced by Feiyue Films, has successfully passed the review after its completion last month.

If nothing goes wrong, this movie will definitely be released this year.

By then, other movies released during the same period will probably be in trouble again!
At the same time, as the Spring Festival draws closer, several other highly anticipated Chinese New Year films have also come to an end.

"Personal Tailor" finally completed its box office with 6.8 million, and "New Police Story 2013" also ended successfully with a box office of 5.5 million.

Feng Xiaogang, who was serving as director backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, once again became the object of ridicule both inside and outside the circle.

After "The Great Earthquake" earned 6.9 million yuan at the box office, "Private Customization" not only failed to break the 7 million yuan box office curse, but was even 1000 million yuan lower than the former!
This is really fucking stupid.

What made Feng Xiaogang even more headache and depressed was that at the new "Golden Broom Awards", "Private Tailor" directed by him, "The Secret: Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" and "Tiny Times" series jointly won the Most Disappointing Film Award.

He even managed to take one of the spots for the Most Disappointing Director award.

The most disappointing screenwriter was successfully won by Wang Shuo with "Private Tailor".

There were a total of six awards, and "Personal Tailor" won three of the most important ones, which almost made Feng Xiaogang angry.

Fortunately, information from other film and television circles appeared in the outside world, otherwise he would have been nailed to the pillar of shame!

That afternoon, Zhang Yimou's Coming Home and Jiang Wen's The Last Airbender both announced that they had wrapped up filming and officially entered the post-production stage.

For a time, the film industry was shocked again!

If nothing unexpected happens, the works of these two great directors will definitely be released this year.

In other words, other film companies will have to think carefully when setting the release dates for the films they invest in.

Once it encounters these two movies, it is very likely to end up like an egg hitting a stone, and will eventually end up in pieces.

However, just when everyone in the industry was paying attention to the film works of those big directors, a person who was as famous as Guo Jingming suddenly announced that he would officially enter the director circle as the Chinese New Year was approaching!
For a time, the film and television industry once again sparked a wave of heated discussions!
