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

Chapter 757: Rushing to North America! Seeking the Dragon and Dividing the Gold to Chanshan Mountain...

In the huge premiere venue, at a glance, there are more than 300 people!

When Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked into the venue, they immediately received a series of greetings.

"Director Chen."

"Producer Liu!"

"Why are you here so late?"

Accompanied by greetings, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei arrived at the front row and sat next to each other.

When they saw that Liu Yifei was sitting in the first row and surrounded by big names in the industry, actresses of the same age such as Yang Mi and Ni Ni in the third row had complicated expressions. Even Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbin, Fan Bingbing and others in the second row had a hint of envy in their eyes.

"Yifei, you look so handsome today!"

Zhou Xun patted Liu Yifei's shoulder casually, leaned over and started chatting with her.

Chen Fei did not pay attention to the "golden sentences" that came out of the two people's mouths from time to time, but turned around and his eyes fell on La Beikang.

"Boss La, it's been a bit difficult lately?"

"Oh, don't mention it." La Beikang sighed and looked as if he had been blamed for something, feeling helpless.

"This mess of Han Sanping is driving me crazy. China Film invested 1 million yuan in the project of The Crossing, and it took the lion's share. But now the box office is just over million yuan. How can we make back the investment? We can't even sell the copyright..."

Fade Chen felt a little sorry for him.

But the main target of sympathy is not "The Crossing" but "The Great Wall".

He muttered to himself, "Boss Han lost 4 million, but you'll lose at least million! You two are the same, neither of you can escape!"

Ten minutes later, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the venue.

A group of people turned their heads and saw Ning Hao walking in with Liu Ye and Shu Chang, two "Heng Ha generals", followed by Guli Nazha, Chen Minghao, and several actors from the "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2" crew.

"Chang Chang!"

Liu Yifei smiled and waved to her best friend.

"I'll come down to see you later!" Shu Chang responded with a bright smile, then walked onto the stage with the crew members.

The main creators sat on the stage, only a few steps away from the first row, very close.

At this time, the atmosphere in the venue became much quieter. After all, those who were present today were people of status and position in the circle, so they naturally would not embarrass themselves.

With the host warming up the audience, the premiere ceremony officially kicked off.

I didn't ask many questions about the content of the movie, after all, everyone will be able to see the finished film soon. The main interviews were mostly about the fun of filming and the process of shooting and framing.

Shu Chang even performed a set of martial arts moves for everyone on the stage. The smooth fighting style caused bursts of exclamations from the audience!
Like Liu Yifei, she also has a very solid foundation in martial arts.

……

The movie, which lasted more than two hours, allowed the hundreds of people present to understand the excitement and charm of "fantasy adventure movies".

The essence of the whole movie lies in its unique adventure plot and the mysterious ancient tomb environment.

The protagonists enter the tomb of King Xian and embark on a thrilling adventure facing all kinds of strange mechanisms and dangerous creatures.

What is even more amazing is that the overall adventure plot design is quite unique. It is not just a simple treasure hunt or adventure, but incorporates more historical, cultural and mysterious elements.

The huge investment resulted in stunning visual effects.

The film constructs a mysterious ancient tomb world, which is full of various strange creatures and inexplicable mechanisms.

The living human figurines, water boar bees, Huo's immortal worms... and the strange mechanisms hidden deep in the ancient tomb all made the guests on the scene truly feel the mystery and danger of the ancient tomb.

In addition, the architectural style of King Xian's Tomb, the murals inside the tomb, and the ancient codes and symbols that appear in the film all reflect the profound heritage of ancient Chinese culture.

The addition of these elements not only enriches the content of the film, but also allows the audience to deeply feel the charm of ancient culture while watching the film.

In addition to the wonderful adventure plot and the mysterious ancient tomb environment, the film also created a group of characters with distinct personalities and sincere emotions.

The tomb-raiding team consists of the three protagonists Hu Bayi, Fatty and Shirley Yang. Their tacit cooperation and mutual support have always been one of the main highlights of this movie.

When faced with danger and difficulties, they are always able to encourage each other and face them together. This sincere friendship also allows the audience to feel the warmth and strength of human nature.

……

When a movie is recognized by everyone, applause is the most direct affirmation.

La Peikang even said with some emotion: "This movie will definitely become a classic in film history. The unique adventure plot, the mysterious ancient tomb environment, the vivid characters and the profound cultural theme thinking are all condensed in one movie. It is really amazing!"

Chen Fei smiled and responded, "Just wait and see. There will be at least four more sequels, including movie peripherals, comics, games, and TV series. This is a big project."

La Peikang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "If you need any help, just let me know."

Chen Fei naturally would not refuse: "Haha, okay, I won't be polite."

The movie is over, and then it's the media's turn.

Movies are also commodities, and “price” is naturally a key point that can never be avoided.

"Director Ning, what is your expected box office revenue for this movie?"

On stage, Ning Hao said confidently: "I will set a small goal first, to surpass the first one, then... 16 billion is the starting point."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar and exclamations from the audience.

Jiang Wen, who was sitting not far away, had even more sharp eyes. His goal was actually not much different from Ning Hao's.

……

At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the only global premiere ceremony of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" in the capital was officially declared over.

Various media and filmmakers have, without exception, given this film extremely high coverage and praise.

It is not an exaggeration to describe "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" with words such as "fantasy blockbuster" and "ancient cultural epic".

At the same time, topics related to this movie also rushed to the hot search list in a very short time.

"The world premiere of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" was officially held today. Many big names gathered at the scene, including dozens of top directors and dozens of actors and stars. The scene was star-studded, comparable to the opening ceremony of a film festival."

"Many domestic cinema chains, including Pan Asia and Wanda, have stated that they will increase the number of screenings of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley" so that more audiences can enjoy this top-notch feast of fantasy, adventure and exploration."

"At the premiere, Director Ning Hao made a bold statement that the second film will start with a box office of 16 billion and strive for a box office of 20 billion!"

"It is reported that the third film in the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, "Kunlun Temple", is under intense preparation. Please wait and see."

"Many Hollywood producers have given high praise to Yunnan Worm Valley, believing that it can be classified as a 'Chinese cultural epic' film."

In the outside world, although movie fans do not have a very good impression of the word "epic", the subject matter of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can be worthy of the word.

Unlike "The Crossing", it is completely ruined.

……

After an afternoon and an evening of dissemination and fermentation, the popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" has reached a boiling point.

Countless netizens and movie fans stopped to watch, and their desire to watch the movie grew stronger!

After all, Ning Hao's movies have always been acclaimed, and coupled with the unparalleled success of the previous work "Ghost Blows Out the Light", expectations have been raised to the maximum.

Thinking that the movie will be available in just one day, the number of people buying pre-sale tickets has increased again.

~

"Have you packed everything? Is there anything you need? I'll go out and buy it for you now. Don't forget anything. Wear more clothes when you get there. I've checked the weather. Los Angeles is colder than the capital..."

Inside the villa, Liu Xiaoli was helping Chen Fei pack his luggage for the trip to Los Angeles.

It was a coincidence that Liu Xiaoli was just passing by to see her daughter today, but she ran into Chen Fei and Liu Yifei packing their suitcases together. Seeing the mess of things piled up, she couldn't stand it anymore and started to help herself.

"No, there's nothing missing. Thank you for your help, Auntie."

Chen Fei stood aside awkwardly, looking a little at a loss.

Having depended on the old man since he was a child, he has never experienced this special kind of "motherly love" and "nagging".

Miss Liu was sitting on the bed, holding a silver tabby cat in her arms, smiling heartily, and seemed to be enjoying the scene very much.

After pulling up the suitcases, Liu Xiaoli drove the two out of the bedroom: "Go somewhere else to play, I'll clean up for you. This Xixi, you don't take your dirty clothes to the laundry room, you just pile them here, can they get clean by themselves?"

After being scolded, the two men fled in panic.

A few kittens also followed, meowing, and seemed very curious about the scene before them.

"I'll go look at the project book first." Liu Yifei led her meow army and went straight to the study.

"Okay." Fade Chen responded, sat down on the sofa in the living room, took out his cell phone, and started browsing the news.

The first day box office results of Zhou Xun's film "My Early Menopause Girlfriend" have been released, and the results are pretty good, with a total of 2750 million.

On the other hand, the box office of "The Crossing (Part 423)" was only million. The protagonists had not yet boarded the ship, but the movie had already sunk.

Actors and directors are being scolded now.

Huang Xiaoming still has some sense of responsibility. He stood up and said that he would bear the consequences of the film's failure. He also promised that he would be more careful in selecting scripts in the future and try not to disappoint his fans again.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi also made the same statement.

On the other hand, Wu Yu himself pretended to be dead and completely left the mess to the actors and investors.

Many people in the industry are complaining that this damn Wu Baige is a habitual "escaper"!
That's how he escaped when he was in Hollywood.

MGM, once one of the eight giants in Hollywood, was ruined by him. Even the company's management resigned because of him.

Let’s look at Wu Yu. After the failure of "Windtalkers", he just walked back to his country, with the golden image of a top Hollywood director on his body, and continued to be a big director.

But looking back at MGM, it had already gone bankrupt, and "Windtalkers" seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now the same thing is happening again, the only difference is that the targets of the scam have changed from MGM to China Film, Huayi, Bona, LeTV, and Youzu.

If things go as expected, there will be absolutely no chance for the two parties to cooperate again in the future.

On the other hand, Wu Yu has completely ruined his reputation in the mainland film industry and film market. It will be extremely difficult for him to attract investment from the mainland!

……

On the 15th, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" officially hits mainland theaters.

At the same time, the screening rates of many movies such as "The Crossing (Part 2)", "Fleet of Time", and "Pacific Rim " have once again seen a wave of declines.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a Toyota commercial vehicle appeared outside the airport.

Inside the car, Fade Chen turned his head to look at Liu Yifei who had gotten up early to see him off, and then pointed at his own face.

"Trojan horse!"

A warm touch appeared at the corner of his lips. Miss Liu even put her arms around him and gave him a wet kiss that lasted for a minute.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

"Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Although there was some reluctance in Liu Yifei's eyes, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, I'll send you a message as soon as I land."

Fade Chen waved at her, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked straight to the airport lobby.

Because it is the end of the year, the number of times celebrities and actors run press releases has increased significantly, so much so that there are a large number of media, reporters, and fans coming to the Capital Airport every day.

As soon as he entered the hall, Chen Fei saw a large group of media reporters and many young girls chasing a young man wearing sunglasses and a mask.

In addition, shouts and screams would occasionally erupt throughout the hall:
"Eul-heung! I love you!"

"Zhang Yixing! Welcome back!"

“EXO is the best…”

Well, another popular star coming back from outside.

Chen Fei shook his head and didn't pay too much attention to it. After passing by the group of crazy fans, he walked towards the VIP waiting room.

He originally thought that he had disguised himself well enough, but he never expected that after entering the VIP room, he was still recognized by fans.

After taking several photos and signing several names, I was finally able to get away.

However, only half an hour later, the news about the Capital Airport spread.

"In the morning, Director Chen Fei appeared in the VIP lounge of the airport and headed to Hollywood alone. It is suspected that he will participate in award season activities."

"The movie 'The Revenant', directed by Chen Fei and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is currently competing for an Oscar."

"EXO's Chinese member Zhang Yixing appeared at the airport. It is reported that he will become the first Chinese artist to be granted the right to independently develop in China by South Korea's SM company."

Chen Fei's movements have attracted the attention of almost the entire mainland film industry.

Because everyone knows that he went there just for the Oscar!
So far, he has won three Oscars for Best Director. If he wins another one, it will be four.

And if he can really win the award, he will officially be on par with the late Hollywood director John Ford.

It is worth mentioning that John Ford, who had won four Oscars for Best Director, died in 4.

If Chen Fei wins the award again, he will become the director with the most Oscars for Best Director trophies still alive.

This is a great achievement that will be recorded in film history!
For a time, the topic of Chen Fei rushing to Hollywood completely dominated the headlines of major entertainment news websites and triggered countless discussions.

……

After getting on the plane, Chen Fei slept for a few hours to make up for the sleep he missed last night.

After waking up, he asked the flight attendant for a meal, then connected to the plane's Internet and ate while browsing the news.

At this time, a large number of film reviews about "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Worm Valley of Yunnan" have appeared on the Internet, which has completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience across the Internet.

"Wow, this is a movie produced by Feiyue Films, it's so cool! I strongly recommend everyone to watch the 3D version. While watching the movie, it felt like I was on an adventure with Hu Bayi and his friends. Every unknown scene made my heart beat faster, and I was full of anticipation and tension."

"This is a truly big investment and big production. The lifelike monsters and mysterious caves in the movie made me feel like I was in another world. I could even feel the damp and cold air and the texture of the rocks. This immersive experience is really great!"

“Isn’t anyone paying attention to the soundtrack of the movie? When the music starts, it’s like being in a mysterious jungle. The mysterious and tense atmosphere is instantly entangled. It’s so wonderful!”

"The second part is even better than the first. I'm already looking forward to the third part. I hope Kunlun Temple can be released soon."

“It can be seen that the production team really worked hard, especially the ancient history, feng shui, burial culture, etc., which are so close to reality.”

"To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains. Each winding is a barrier. If there are eight dangers, the barrier will be in the shape of Yin and Yang Bagua... Damn, the lines are so cool!"

……

Whether it’s the screening rate, the film review data, or the word of mouth, it can be seen that the second part of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series is also going to be a hit!
Although many people in the circle already knew the result when they attended the premiere, they still couldn't help but feel envious when seeing the heated discussions all over the Internet.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter who plays the protagonist of this movie, it is destined to be one of the masterpieces of his career.

Looking back at Liu Ye, Shu Chang and Chen Minghao, their net worth and status have been rising like a rocket, and it is impossible to suppress them at all.

At this moment, what Ning Hao said at the launch conference was once again dug up by the media.

16 billion, perhaps it is really just the minimum goal.
