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

Chapter 718 "Baka!"; What will be the consequences of laying off employees until the sales champion is reached?
While most people's attention is still on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Destiny", the summer vacation has entered its most exciting and tense moment.

The movie "See You Tomorrow", directed by Han Han and starring Feng Shaofeng, Zhong Hanliang and others, was officially launched amid the cheers of fans and the abuse of a group of black fans!

On the 24th, a rare scene occurred in the film industry where fans of two films openly cursed at each other online!

Fan circle culture is fully reflected in Guo Jingming and Han Han.

The fans of both sides have been confronting each other for many years. Now that the two have entered the film industry one after another, it has given fans another platform to compete.

Compared to the chaos in the film industry, the situation in the television industry is not much different.

When Feiyue Film and Television announced the three TV drama projects "The Best of Us", "Go Go Squid!" and "Ode to Joy" one after another, the entire TV industry was in an uproar!

"Day and Night" and "The Journey of Flower" are both very popular at the moment.

The upcoming "Red Sorghum" is already in the queue, and I heard that the post-production of "Nirvana in Fire" is about to come to an end.

Now, look what happens, three TV drama projects have popped up at once, which is obviously aimed at next year’s TV drama market!
All of a sudden, many companies whose main business was TV drama production became busy and began to look for information everywhere, wanting to know what the plots of these three new dramas were.

At the same time, the other talent agencies also became busy and started asking about the specific casting details.

Major media outlets came together with great interest and began to reprint and report:
"Hot News: Feiyue Films has once again officially announced the successful launch of three new dramas, focusing on the three major themes of campus, youth, and workplace."

"At present, Feiyue Films has released audition requirements for multiple roles, and will conduct an invitation-based audition process in the future to determine the cast of roles."

“Whether it’s movies or TV, Feiyue Films has always adhered to the high-quality production policy and strived not to disappoint fans.”

……

Chen Fei did not pay much attention to the news in the mainland. After all, they were just three TV drama projects and there was no need for him to follow up personally.

At present, his attention is focused on the California court's ruling on Keith Raniere.

After collecting evidence from multiple sources, NXIVM leader Keith Raniere was eventually sentenced to 120 years in prison and ordered to pay $175 million in compensation!
When the number "120 years" was first released, many people in the industry understood it instantly.

Isn't this just imprisonment until death?

No one had any objection to this verdict. After all, this guy's evil deeds were known to the whole of America.

Bruce called again and asked excitedly, "Fei, do you need me to arrange for someone to pass on the message to him again?"

Bruce has always loved to beat a man when he is down, and Harvey's fate in prison was caused by him.

"Forget it, let him enjoy his 120-year sentence. If this scares him silly, he might even get a sentence reduction in the future, which wouldn't be good."

"Haha, you're right!"

Bruce laughed along. He had to admit, this feeling of fighting evil and upholding justice was really great!

After a brief chat, Chen Fei mentioned the "Island Development Plan" again.

This time, Bruce seemed to have thought about it and asked about the relevant situation with great interest: "Fei, where is the location of this island you are talking about?"

Chen Fei responded as if he knew all the details: "It is located in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1942 kilometers away from the Antarctic continent. It belongs to the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. It consists of a main island, Grande Terre, and several smaller islands, including Curie Island, Posession Island, and East Island. The area is about 7215 square kilometers..."

"That far?"

Bruce was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the island to be so far away.

Chen Fei laughed: "Only if the distance is far enough can we ensure that we are not affected by the outside world, right?"

That made sense, and Bruce couldn't argue with that.

If you want to avoid the coercion of certain hegemonic countries in the United Nations, there is no other good choice except to run away.

"Then how can I get there? I would really like to take a look and investigate."

"I can charter a cruise ship just for you. You can take a few sexy girls with you and treat it as a vacation."

Chen Fei's suggestion obviously touched Bruce's heart. This guy immediately couldn't sit still and started clamoring on the phone to pack his luggage.

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen called his assistant and implemented all the arrangements.

The price of the island has been almost negotiated, and we can sign the contract with the French side as soon as Bruce returns.

This is a project worth tens of billions of dollars, so we must be cautious.

……

As a fan-oriented movie, the industry believes that the first-day box office performance of "See You Tomorrow" will not be too bad.

And the facts prove this.

When the figure of 7654 million appeared in media reports, people in the industry made their own judgments.

If nothing unexpected happens, this movie should be a success!
In his spare time, Fade Chen also cast a glance over there.

In terms of Douban ratings, "See You Tomorrow" is obviously far superior to "Tiny Times".

To put it bluntly, the movies made by Han Han are like a bowl of uncooked rice. Although it is hard and difficult to swallow, it is still "rice" after all.

But looking back at Guo Jingming’s “Tiny Times” series, it’s pure shit!

This statement has been recognized by a large number of people in the industry. However, Guo Jingming's fans obviously do not agree with it and have once again started a confrontation with netizens and experts.

With the official release of "See You Tomorrow", it also means that the end of July is not far away.

At the same time, the movie "I Am Me" produced by Mango TV and starring Hua Chenyu, Ou Hao and others also hit theaters.

However, this movie has received even more criticism than "Tiny Times 3".

The previous drama “Where Are We Going, Dad?” was criticized by many people for being a money-making operation. Now another drama “I Am Me” has been released. Isn’t this purely a money-making operation?
There are quite a few fans who support him, but there are still more insults and criticisms.

The box office revenue of 200 million on the first day of release was a death sentence for it!

Some people even mocked openly, "This time, no matter how hard the wizard tries, he can't support the box office performance of this movie!"

In a blink of an eye, there are less than 7 days left until the end of July.

Under the attention of the public, "Breakup Guru" starring Deng Chao and Yang Mi finally ended with a box office of 6.5 million yuan.

It is definitely profitable, after all, the investment in this movie is really low.

But at the same time, the slander and those voices that criticize the movie as a bad movie cannot be refuted or covered up.

In order to eliminate the controversy she had encountered, Yang Mi worked harder and even started working hard for awards.

As July is coming to an end, the movies that are scheduled to be released in August are already eager to enter the theaters.

Xiying's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Guangguang's "The Four", the imported films "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Frozen", "Challenge League" and the postponed "Transformers 4"...

Let’s not talk about the results for now, and just talk about the impact. For other domestic films, it is undoubtedly a huge test!

……

On the 27th, "Guardians of the Galaxy" held a grand premiere ceremony in Los Angeles!
Chen Fei led the entire "Avengers 2" crew to the scene to show their support, giving the greatest support to this latest Marvel series of movies.

When all the Avengers gathered and appeared on the red carpet, the fans at the scene went crazy. The screams and shouts seemed to overturn the entire theater!
With the release of many Marvel series movies, this big IP has already accumulated countless fans.

Even though "Guardians of the Galaxy" is just a new series, fans still give it extremely high praise.

This situation also makes other Hollywood companies envious.

Kevin, president of Warner Bros. Pictures, also arrived at the scene today. Looking at the grand occasion, he couldn't help but sigh: "If the DC series of movies have such a huge number of fans, then sooner or later we can catch up with Marvel and enjoy the huge profits brought by copyright development."

The president of DC Films nodded in agreement and said, "I am absolutely certain that Justice League will surpass the current performance of The Avengers!"

Sony's president Kazuo Hirai also came to the scene today.

He felt very complicated as he watched the representative characters of the Marvel series appear one after another.

Holding the copyright for the film and television adaptation of "Spider-Man", he always thought he had made a great bet. However, with the disastrous failure of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", he suddenly discovered that this "great treasure" was also a very hot potato.

The contract stipulates that Sony must release a Spider-Man movie every three years.

But with the failure of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", the previous plan to use the "Evil Six" to expand the "Spider-Man Universe" was directly declared a failure.

Although there are still three years left before the deadline stipulated in the contract, the problem is that it takes a long time to prepare for such a top-notch science fiction blockbuster!
A movie with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars takes at least one year to prepare, and then another year for shooting and post-production, and the last year for promotion and release...

In other words, if Sony still wants to continue developing the Spider-Man copyright, it has to prepare the script from now on.

By the end of the year at the latest, they have to finalize the project and prepare for casting and filming.

But the most critical problem now is that there is no script yet!
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was declared a failure, and all subsequent settings were invalidated.

If you want to continue development, you have to write a new script.

Thinking of this, Kazuo Hirai suddenly felt a headache. This was too damn difficult to deal with.

"Baka!" He growled and looked towards where Fade Chen was. He suddenly remembered what Marvel had discussed with him before.

“Do you want to jointly develop the copyright with them?”

Kazuo Hirai murmured, finding it difficult to make up his mind for a moment.

He really didn't want to give up the opportunity to eat alone, but the meal was not so delicious because it contained too many thorns.

If you fail to chew it up successfully, this thing will get stuck in your throat!

……

Although "Guardians of the Galaxy" did not hold its premiere in China, related promotional activities have not been missed.

Therefore, the news of the North American premiere naturally spread back to the country.

When people saw Chen Fei leading a group of international superstars walking onto the red carpet, it immediately caused quite a stir and heated discussion in the mainland.

"Director Chen is getting more and more awesome! I really admire him. His influence is second to none in the global film and television industry!"

"What the hell? Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow... so many people are walking behind him? This status is too awesome!"

"I don't know when Avengers 2 will be released. I'm already looking forward to it!"

However, just when many people were discussing "Guardians of the Galaxy", a piece of news suddenly came out of nowhere and directly dominated the hot search headlines of major entertainment news websites!
"According to statistics from China Film, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Transformers 4" has officially exceeded 20 billion yuan in box office today, and the daily new movie box office is currently 1514 million."

As soon as this news came out, the mainland film industry fell silent.

After many years, domestic films finally produced two movies with box office revenue of over 20 billion yuan, but now, imported films have suddenly rushed in!
You know, even the total box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is only 22.35 billion.

This is the result after the extension.

But today is only the first day after the postponement of "Transformers 4", and the box office has already broken the 1 billion mark. This is obviously aimed at breaking the record!

Chen Fei himself doesn't care. After all, "Transformers 4" is a cooperative project between Wall Street Pictures and DreamWorks. The higher the box office, the more he will earn.

But for the mainland film market, if the box office record is broken again by imported films, it would be like being slapped in the face by outsiders.

Fortunately, there was a movie called "The Martian" before it, otherwise the record that was hard-won would have been broken again.

By then, everyone will be ashamed.

……

Perhaps because it was the end of the month, Chen Fei could often see various summary data on the Internet.

Such as:

"Director Han Han's debut film, See You Tomorrow, has officially exceeded 4 million yuan in box office data in four days since its release. The film's reputation has risen in all aspects, strongly crushing Tiny Times 3!"

"It is reported that Tiny Times 3, directed by Guo Jingming, has been released for 11 days and has a total box office of 4.56 million yuan. The daily box office has dropped to 1000 million yuan, which is far from its target box office of 10 billion yuan."

"Big Fish and Begonia, the second animated film produced by Feiyue Films, has once again continued the glory of its predecessor, The Monkey King: Hero is Back. The box office has reached 6.35 million yuan so far, and it may become the second largest domestic blockbuster in this summer's summer season after Transformers 4!"

"Old Boy: Way of the Dragon" was released ahead of schedule, with a box office of 2.05 million yuan."

"The documentary film "I Am Who I Am" produced by Mango TV failed to continue the glory of "Where Are We Going, Dad?". After three days of release, the box office only reported 3 million yuan. It has now been forced to be removed from the screen by many theaters."

Most of the films and TV series that can really make it to the hot search headlines are those that have attracted much attention in the industry.

As for those domestic films that were not popular among the public, without exception, all of them ended up being pulled out of theaters.

Some experts even concluded that "in the future, cross-border directors will become a popular trend in the industry, and professional directors may face severe tests and challenges."

This conclusion is based on that drawn by Zhao Yanzi, Guo Jingming, Han Han, Guo Fan and others.

Even Chen Fei can be considered a "cross-border director". After all, he has always been an actor, but he has never specifically learned professional skills and knowledge in directing.

Rarely, not many directors in the industry have come out to refute this conclusion.

Because they have no way to refute it, this is an ironclad fact!

……

As long as you are in the film and television industry, even if you don’t actively access the Internet, there will still be a steady stream of fresh “melons” rolling in automatically.

Chen Fei was busy filming the last scene of "Avengers 2", but during the break, his assistant came over and told him something.

"Mr. Chen, the news has spread in the mainland film and television circles. Director Zhang Yimou has sued Zhang Weiping again, demanding that the latter pay him a share of the box office revenue of "Three Shots Surprise", which is a full 1500 million!"

"Three shots, a surprise?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't remember what year this movie was released.

The assistant was very perceptive and reminded quietly: "This movie was released during the 09 Lunar New Year holiday."

"..."

For a moment, Fade Chen was speechless.

It's been 5 years, and Zhang Yimou's share of the box office revenue hasn't been settled yet. Zhang Weiping is pretty amazing.

Back then, the merger of the two Zhangs would have allowed them to compete with Huayi, and New Picture was one of the top private film production companies in the industry.

But now? Who still recognizes him as Zhang Weiping?
After losing Zhang Yimou, he had already become a rat crossing the street, and everyone was shouting and beating him!
In fact, layoffs are very common in every company, but if they lay off the top salesperson, isn't that just courting death?

"Please pay attention to it and tell me when you get the result."

Fade Chen gave a casual order, then picked up the loud speaker next to him and shouted to the filming site: "Everyone! Get ready! Action!"

In order to leave a profound and shocking ending for the movie, the last scene of "Avengers" as the climax and ending of the whole movie not only carries the emotional peak of the story, but also needs to show the unique charm of each hero and the power of teamwork.

In this regard, Chen Fei made a lot of coordination.

Under his command, the camera slowly moved forward, focusing on every Avenger in the base.

Everyone is ready to go, and their eyes show both determination to face unknown challenges and deep trust in each other.

The first person to come into view is Iron Man Tony Stark, who is wearing the latest generation of Mark armor, his whole body flashing with high-tech light, and is making the final tactical deployment facing Ultron in the holographic image.

His voice was calm and powerful, and every instruction he gave revealed the qualities of a leader.

Then, the camera switched to Captain America Steve Rogers, who was holding a vibranium shield and standing at the front of the team. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate all the darkness and give his teammates endless courage!
Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard outside the base, and Ultron's robot army surged in like a tide, surrounding the base.

Immediately afterwards, the Avengers responded quickly, each demonstrating their amazing abilities.

Thor summoned lightning and swung his hammer in the air. Each blow was accompanied by deafening thunder, smashing large numbers of robots into scrap metal.

Black Widow Natasha uses her agility and wisdom to move between battlefields and accurately eliminate every threat.

The Hulk roared angrily and smashed the enemy to pieces with one punch after another!
In this melee, the most eye-catching thing is the tacit cooperation between the Avengers.

Iron Man and Hawkeye Clint Barton team up to use high-tech equipment and precise archery to accurately strike the enemy's core.

Captain America fights side by side with Falcon Sam Wilson, using tactics and speed to move flexibly on the battlefield and create opportunities for his teammates.

What’s even more touching is that when Hulk lost control and fell into a frenzy, Dr. Banner and Black Widow worked together to bring him back to reality with love and reason, showing the most gentle and tenacious side of human nature.

As the battle gradually entered a white-hot stage, the Avengers finally faced Ultron in the final showdown.

In a thrilling battle, they finally defeated this powerful enemy with their wisdom, courage and spirit of sacrifice!
However, the joy of victory did not last long, because everyone knew the price paid behind this battle - sacrifice and separation.

In the last scene, the Avengers stood silently on the ruins, looking at the dawn slowly rising in the distance!
The camera gradually zooms out, showing their lonely but determined figures, as if conveying a message to the audience: "No matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, as long as we unite as one, nothing is impossible."

This moment not only marks the end of "Avengers 2", but also celebrates and inherits the spirit of superheroes!

Behind the monitor, Fade Chen took a deep breath and shouted the word "Cut" with full energy.

At this point, the super sci-fi blockbuster "Avengers 3", which has been shooting for 2 months, was officially announced to be completed today!
……

The domestic response was very fast.

Chen Fei's wrap-up party has not yet been declared over, but the related news has already been reprinted by major media outlets.

"Reprinted from Hollywood Entertainment News: The top science fiction blockbuster "Avengers 2", directed by Chen Fei and starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, with Liu Yifei's cameo appearance, has officially been announced to be completed!"

"It is reported that the investment amount of this movie is about 2.5 million US dollars, which is about 15 billion RMB, and it can be ranked in the top 5 of the big investment movie series!"

"Director Chen Fei ended the interview by saying that the film is expected to meet global audiences in 2015."

The completion of "Avengers 2" triggered many chain reactions.

For example, at China Film, La Beikang was already thinking about what reasons he could use to convince Chen Fei to agree to direct the Sino-foreign co-production of the super fantasy blockbuster.
