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

Chapter 707: Financing and listing? The hatred of stealing a wife is irreconcilable! How can this box office performance be compared?

After briefly chatting with Zhou Xingchi about the "Mermaid" project, the three of them parted ways.

The script has not been approved yet, and in order to maintain stability, Zhou Xingchi is determined to bring China Film Group into the game, so the subsequent arrangements will have to wait for some time before they can be finalized.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Fei contacted Su Guohai immediately.

"The follow-up plan for the Mermaid project has been agreed upon and is now in your hands. I may not be able to stay in China for too long. I will have to fly to Los Angeles in half a month at most."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll follow up at any time."

Su Guoji agreed without hesitation.

But then he mentioned another thing: "Mr. Chen, Director Zhou's last film, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, was produced by our company. If nothing unexpected happens, he should choose us again this time, right?"

"Well, I talked to him, and Dianjing Digital will indeed be responsible for the special effects and post-production."

Hearing this, Su Guohai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, we should expand our staff. Dianjing Digital is getting busier and busier. The staff transfer is already very heavy. If there are a few more projects, I'm afraid we will have to stop.

Even the existing special effects projects are being reallocated and replanned, and only by adjusting the staff schedule can we barely get the work done. "

Hearing this, Fade Chen was slightly startled.

It is no exaggeration to say that nearly half of the special effects projects of major domestic film and television companies are now produced in whole or in part by Dianjing Digital.

No matter what the relationship between these companies and Chen Fei is, they cannot avoid Dianjing Digital when it comes to special effects business.

Because when you take the work abroad, even if the quality is the same, foreign special effects companies will charge at least 30% more than domestic ones.

If you go to other small domestic companies, even if they charge cheaply, the quality cannot be guaranteed at all.

Huayi has suffered a lot in this regard.

For the previous "Tai Chi" series, they hired a foreign special effects company. Although the effect was good, the price accounted for 35% of the total investment!

After some discussion, the two brothers of the Wang family felt that this deal was really a loss.

Therefore, even though they were very unhappy with Chen Fei, they still handed over their company's special effects project to Dianjing Digital.

This money should be earned by Feiyue Film and Television!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei responded, "Well, next month I will let those who are interning at Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain go back first.

You should find time to recruit another group of people, apply for visas for them as soon as possible, and let these new people receive training to maintain the mobility of personnel. "

"Okay, Mr. Chen, this is a good idea!"

Su Guohai breathed a sigh of relief, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately went to make arrangements.

However, at this moment, Chen Fei had a new idea in his mind.

Previously, many investors had contacted him, asking whether he would separate Dianjing Digital, accept financing, and then go public.

He had never thought about it carefully before, but now he felt that this idea seemed quite good.

"Dianjing Digital went public, introduced a large number of equipment and talents, and expanded the market from the film and television industry to games, animation, and even a wider range..."

Silent all night.

The next morning, news about the cocktail party held by Huayi last night appeared on major entertainment websites.

"It is reported that at the reception last night, Alibaba, Penguin, Baidu and others all showed up to show their support. Huayi General Manager Wang Zhonglei said that connecting with the Internet is the future of the film and television industry."

"In addition to Feiyue Films, all well-known film and television companies in the industry have sent representatives to the event, as well as some foreign companies and filmmakers."

"Actors and directors in the industry including Chen Long, Liu Dehua, Ge You, Li Bingfeng, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Guo Jingming, Han Han, Yu Zheng and others sent their congratulations to Huayi."

"Huayi Chairman Wang Zhonglei said that Huayi's future market value will exceed 350 billion within half a month, and will charge towards 500 billion by the end of the year."

“De-monopolizing movies has been a huge success!”

Many people in the industry were talking about it, some expressed envy, some were jealous, and some even wanted to follow the trend.

On the LeEco side, Jia boasted on Weibo: "After LeEco Pictures goes public in the future, it will be no problem for it to compete with Huayi."

Hairun also said: "Our goal is also to catch up with Huayi..."

Wang Changtian did not get involved in this matter because he had been warned by Chen Fei.

From his perspective, Huayi’s current prosperity seems like a bubble that may burst at any time.

This is only the first cultural and tourism project that has brought Huayi to its current level. If the other three or four projects are put into use, the Huayi building will surely become higher and higher!

But the root problem is that the foundation of this "building" has been damaged and is about to collapse.

Under such circumstances, the taller the building is built, the more miserable Huayi will die!
As for Bona, the only company in the industry listed on NASDAQ, it has been in turmoil recently because of Yu Dong.

There are rumors in the investment community that, if nothing unexpected happens, Bona will have to start the delisting process soon.

Compared with people in the circle, people outside the circle focus on very different things.

Many actors, directors, and film and television company bosses were discussing the "grand occasion" caused by Huayi, but netizens were paying attention to the official announcement of Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Youting's marriage certificate.

Perhaps neither the man nor the woman had expected that just by getting a marriage certificate, the man would become the "public enemy of men."

A hot search topic quickly topped the list.

"Zhao Youting, the hatred of having my wife stolen from me is irreconcilable!"

Media reports said:
"The man and woman met because of the movie "Searching". Brother Chen Kai has once again facilitated a relationship after Nicholas Tse and Zhang Baizhi."

"After the couple publicly obtained their marriage certificate, director Chen Kai sent his blessing and frankly said that they had already developed feelings for each other while on the set."

"Brother Kai, your reputation is well-deserved."

The internet was very lively at the moment, with many people in the circle going to the Weibo accounts of the man and woman, either sending their blessings or openly expressing their dislike for the wedding invitation.

Many netizens were very excited and expressed their dissatisfaction.

"I don't agree with this marriage!"

"Disagree +1"

"Take away my beloved wife! Zhao Youting, come out here and die!"

Maybe many people are really dissatisfied, but in fact most people are just playing tricks and joining in the fun. Can they really snatch the bride?

However, when Chen Fei saw the news online, he inexplicably felt contempt for Brother Chen Kai.

"They are getting married publicly, and you are an old man buying trending searches to join in the fun. You really have too much free time."

You don’t have to guess to know that those topics about Brother Chen Kai are definitely the hot searches he bought himself.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has entered the formal post-production stage and is expected to hit theaters next year. This will be a rare opportunity to catch some of the attention, and the great poet Chen does not want to miss it.

……

Ignoring the protests and dissatisfaction of netizens, Chen Fei went to the "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" which was under construction in the afternoon.

When the project manager saw the boss coming, he immediately received him warmly.

“The expected completion time for the entire project is September, and we will ensure that it can open on time in October to welcome tourists.

At present, some areas have been completed and are receiving tourists in limited time and quantity. We will ensure safety and basic service facilities, and make sure that tourists are happy, joyful and comfortable..."

After inspecting the entire 1.16 square kilometers of the park, before leaving, Chen Fei specifically reminded: "I just noticed that there is a notice at the entrance that tourists are not allowed to bring any outside food into the park. Cancel this rule and change it to allow fast food to be brought into the park."

"Ah?" The project manager was slightly stunned: "Why? Once this regulation is cancelled, it will inevitably cause huge pressure on the maintenance of our park environment."

"If you are under pressure, just hire more cleaning staff. This is China, and the cultural differences are different from North America. This rule is unreasonable here."

Chen Fei's tone was full of unquestionableness. Although the foreign person in charge didn't understand, he still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Boss, I'll ask them to change this decision."

"Well, that's it, I'm leaving now."

As Chen Fei walked out, he recalled a piece of news he had seen on the Internet before his rebirth.

A law student took Disneyland to court because the park did not allow her to bring food into the park, and she eventually won the case.

In view of this case, "Ready Player One Fantasy Theme Park" must take it as a warning.

……

There was only one day left before the filming of Avengers 2 started in Shanghai. On the last day, Chen Fei went to the premiere of The Breakup Master alone.

Wang Changtian invited him warmly, and he was embarrassed to refuse.

This was also his first time watching this comedy film starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi on the big screen.

How to evaluate it.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the film as a mess, as the quality of the film is hard to describe.

Although there are many big names making cameo appearances throughout the movie, it seems like a series of internet jokes strung together from beginning to end, without any substance or eye-catching things.

Perhaps after the movie is released, it can earn a lot of box office revenue with these "jokes", but after a period of time, only a few funnier scenes will be worth remembering.

During the cocktail party, Deng Chao led Sun Li to Chen Fei.

"Director Chen, I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"Oh?" Fade Chen looked at him in surprise: "Thank me for what?"

"As for the permanent guest spots on Running Man, I heard that the final list was decided by you. Thank you very much for your approval."

Fade Chen raised his glass and clinked it with his: "You are competing against the position of captain, it all depends on your performance."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Sun Li added: "If Director Chen needs anything done in the future, just let us know. We still have some capabilities in certain areas."

"Well, if there is one."

Chen Fei smiled and clinked glasses with Sun Li.

As soon as the couple turned to leave, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia came over and toasted them enthusiastically.

"Director Chen, thank you for coming to the premiere of The Breakup Guru. I'd like to toast you."

Looking at Yang Mi, who had serious eye bags, Chen Fei felt inexplicably emotional.

This guy really works hard!

Especially after she started her own company, people in the industry gave her the title of "Workaholic", which shows how hard she worked.

"Sometimes you still have to pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

After all, they had worked together before, and Chen Fei did not treat her coldly just because she was not one of them.

However, when faced with Zeng Jia's intention to introduce him to the new people in Jiaxing, he directly refused.

A group of people who are not even on the 18th tier are not worthy of his attention.

Zeng Jia felt a little embarrassed as she watched Fade Chen leave. After all, there were so many newcomers following him, and she had more or less lost face in front of them just now.

Yang Mi was used to this and didn't think much about it.

Seeing Chen Fei and Wang Changtian chatting happily, while Han Han, who had guest-starred in "The Breakup Guru", smiled respectfully beside them, she could not hide her envy.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Jia Jia, isn't our company preparing for financing? I heard that Director Chen also has an investment company called Longxiang Capital, and its financial strength is very strong. Why don't we go to him for investment? What do you think?"

"Let's talk about it later. Now is not the time for formal financing."

Zeng Jia avoided looking at Yang Mi, not daring to meet her gaze.

Because what she really wanted was the investor's money, not to be controlled by an external investment company. If she asked Chen Fei to participate in the investment, it would be difficult for her to carry out some of her tricks.

Before this, she had even rejected Internet companies like Alibaba and Penguin, not to mention industry giants like Longxiang Capital.

She didn't have the confidence to do anything under Chen Fei's attention.

"Not yet?"

Yang Mi was a little puzzled. She clearly remembered that Zeng Jia had already taken action a few months ago!

Is financing so complicated?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, let Jia Jia handle it."

Yang Mi shook her head and walked towards the representative sent by LeTV Pictures, ready to socialize.

Behind her, several newly signed artists from Jiaxing quickly followed, like blood-sucking leeches, and would never let go once they bit!
……

June 6th arrived as promised.

Chen Fei returned to the crew of "Avengers 2" and started the filming work in China.

At the same time, "The Breakup Guru" and "Transformers 4" also hit domestic theaters, kicking off the summer season competition ahead of schedule.

On the morning of the same day, when these two films were in theaters, "See You Tomorrow" held a media conference in the capital.

Yu Dong showed up at the press conference despite the pressure, personally stood up for Han Han and expressed his support, saying that Bona will strongly support the movie "See You Tomorrow".

However, I don't know if he was under too much pressure, but he suddenly let out a big statement: "In my opinion, in terms of film quality, "See You Tomorrow" completely beats bad movies like "Tiny Times". Guo Jingming can't be compared with Han Han at all."

As soon as these words were spoken, they stirred up a hornet's nest.

Not only did Han Han's fans and Guo Jingming's fans start a new round of verbal battle, even LeTV Pictures, the producer of "Tiny Times 3", stood up and demanded that Yu Dong apologize for his words.

The two sides cursed each other fiercely, and it even escalated to the issue of being a human being.

In this regard, at present, Yu Dong is far inferior to Boss Jia.

The latter scolded the former: "You have low character, you abandoned your wife and children, you will definitely not have a good ending!"

The former scolded the latter: "Except for that mouth, the rest of your body is useless. You are so good at boasting, you will be finished sooner or later."

For a while, the Internet was extremely lively, but soon, with the intervention of the authorities, the heat was quickly suppressed.

When Chen Fei came back in the evening and prepared to eat melons, the two of them had actually stopped fighting.

"It's boring. Is that all you can do? Why don't you continue to curse?"

He just wanted to watch the fun, but the two of them suffered a lot from the verbal battle, and Dong even got scolded by his superiors.

He already has a pile of shit in his trouser pockets recently, and now he is rolling in the mud pit. Isn't he digging his own grave?

Seeing that there was no more melon to eat, Chen Fei had to focus on the two movies released today.

Relevant film reviews have just been released online.

As for "Transformers 4", most netizens focused their comments on the special effects and graphics.

"As a commercial blockbuster, I think Transformers 4 is actually very good in terms of special effects and scenes! And it's very realistic! Many people say that the plot is not good, but I don't think it's necessary to be too demanding. You can't have your cake and eat it too! For a commercial film, it's enough to just be exciting and enjoyable."

"I wonder if you have noticed that there are many Chinese elements in the film. Doesn't this prove the strength of our country?"

"The IMax effect is amazing. I heard that this movie cost $400 million to make. It's worth the ticket price."

……

Compared to "Transformers 4", the score of "The Breakup Master" is slightly lower.

However, many people's evaluations are still above average, that is, in the range of 7 to 8 points.

"The whole movie relies on Deng Chao's silly behavior to create laughs. Although the plot is quite awkward, the laughs are still good. It feels like an early Stephen Chow comedy. (ps: I saw Deng Chao faint after smelling Yang Mi's slippers, and I immediately understood something, haha)."

"I support domestic films. I'll give it a score of 7.5. There are some funny moments, but the main plot is really boring. It's just funny occasionally. Overall, it's just average."

"I didn't expect Deng Chao to be so talented in being funny. I'm looking forward to the variety show "Running Man". I hope he can be more interesting."

Movie ratings and fan reviews are certainly important, but ultimately, the basis for proving a movie’s success is still its box office.

Many people are waiting for the box office performance of these two movies that kick off the 2014 summer vacation.

China Film Group did not disappoint the industry. At six o'clock the next day, it announced the box office results of "The Breakup Guru" and "Transformers 4" on the first day of their release.

The former grossed 3960 million on its first day, and 5969 million if the midnight show is included.

For a comedy, this result is quite good.

However, when seeing the domestic first-day box office performance of "Transformers 4", a number of domestic film producers were silent.

The box office revenue on the first day was 1.74 million yuan. If the midnight show is included, it’s a whopping 2.03 million yuan!

The latter’s first-day box office performance was four times that of the former!
How can you compare this?
