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

Chapter 772: Spring Festival! "Charlotte's Troubles" shines! A thief who likes dresses?
The rising momentum of the domestic film market is now unstoppable!

The box office performance on the first day of the Lunar New Year has reached a level that even surprised Hollywood.

Yesterday afternoon, Chen Fei had already obtained the attendance rate of "Charlotte's Troubles" from Pan Asia Cinemas.

94%!

It is no exaggeration to say that such achievements are already considered to be at a very high level in the entire film industry.

After receiving the news, Yan Fei called immediately and thanked Chen Fei again for what he said at the movie premiere.

It is precisely because of those words that this movie has truly entered the vision of the entire film industry and movie fans.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, movie reviews about "Charlotte's Troubles" had already flooded the Internet.

"The first three quarters are hilarious from beginning to end, and the last quarter is silent, thought-provoking, and then you can't help laughing or crying, with laughter and tears mixed together. This movie is really amazing!"

"Dreaming of youth may seem like a boring plot, but the various settings make you laugh, and after laughing you can't help but recall your student days. The music in the movie is especially great. When Yi Jian Mei started playing, the laughter almost overturned the entire theater."

"The mistress who successfully interfered, the teacher who accepted bribes, "My Father, the District Chief", you call me dad, I call you brother... Damn, these lines and plot design are absolutely amazing!"

"I roughly thought about it. That Ai should have been passed from Meng Tejiao to Yuan Hua, then to Qiu Ya, and finally to Xia Luo, right? I'm afraid these people are unlucky in the end."

"Alas, thinking back to the past, I also had a girlfriend like Qiuya. It's a pity that Xia Luo was able to wake up again, but I can't go back. I cried while watching a comedy. It's really fucking..."

"Yuan Hua is so funny. What's the name of this actor? I feel like I like him a little bit. When I think of his face, "A Cut Plum" starts playing automatically, haha."

……

In view of the popularity of the movie, theaters began to continuously adjust the screening schedule on the day of "Charlotte's Troubles" released.

The final result stunned the entire film industry!

"The comedy film "Charlotte's Troubles", co-produced by Happy Twist and Feiyue Films, directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damu, and starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Wang Zhi, Yin Zheng and others, grossed 1.3 million yuan on the first day of its release! The word of mouth is overwhelming!"

"It is reported that since the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, theaters under major cinema chains have begun to increase the screening rate of "Charlotte's Troubles" and will gradually increase the number of screenings to meet the viewing needs of the majority of audiences and fans."

"According to the current trend, the 10 billion+ box office prediction made by Director Chen Fei at the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles" will most likely be realized... The film has received rave reviews and has sparked large-scale discussions and heated debates across the Internet. It is likely to become a phenomenal movie!"

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office revenue of the film market exceeded 4 million, the highest in history!"

"The action movie "Dragon Blade" starring Chen Long grossed 1.2 million yuan on its first day, successfully taking second place in the Spring Festival box office chart."

"The movie "The Man from Macau 2", jointly produced by Feiyue Films and Yinghuang, earned 6455 million yuan on the first day, successfully winning the third place in the Spring Festival box office list."

"On the first day of its release, the movie Wolf Totem grossed 3698 million yuan at the box office. The movie received good reviews, with very few negative reviews..."

"..."

Early in the morning, Chen Fei was checking reports on major entertainment news websites on his laptop while answering calls from all sides.

"Wow, after 'Lost in Thailand', you have discovered another successful case of making a fortune with a small investment."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Changtian couldn't hide his envy.

Guangxian worked so hard to launch so many martial arts and youth film projects, but in the end, it didn't make as much as a low-budget comedy invested by Chen Fei. This is just too fucked up.

Thanks to the drama "Charlotte's Troubles", Happy Twist has become the focus of attention in the industry.

This small company, which started out as a stage play, has suddenly grown into a rare company in the industry with films that have grossed over 10 billion yuan.

As sketch actors, Shen Teng and Ma Li became overnight sensations and became the billion-plus male and female protagonists who are about to "grandly debut", achieving a great leap in class.

I have to say, this is really magical and unbelievable!
"It's just better luck."

Chen Fei smiled modestly. As a reborn party, it would be unacceptable if he couldn't even seize this kind of opportunity.

"Oh, I wish the light could be this lucky someday."

Wang Changtian sighed and talked about the variety show "Running Man".

The four New Year specials have been released online, and like the previous official programs, they have also won the love and attention of countless viewers.

"How about letting those artists from Guangguang show up during the second season? The official release date of Left Ear is April 4, which is just in time for the recording."

"Okay, just go find Gu Yongqiang and say hello to him."

"Haha, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

After disconnecting from Wang Changtian, Chen Fei once again turned his attention to the entertainment news website.

Because of "Running Man", he specifically searched and checked the relevant news about the variety show movie "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" which was condemned by most of the industry.

Unlike the excellent performance of the first part, the second part only grossed 2863 million on the first day after its release, and received a lot of negative reviews.

We are not stupid. It is really hard to describe the behavior of making money by shooting variety shows.

Using it once is already too much. If it happens a second time, what's the difference between this and treating someone like a fool?
As for the most controversial movie of the entire Spring Festival, it is none other than the fantasy movie "Zhong Kui Fu Mo: Snow Demon Spirit", which is said to have an investment cost of 2 million yuan.

The lineup of Chen Kun + Li Bingbin is quite box office appealing, so much so that the box office on the first day directly reached 6403 million.

But, this movie is so bad!
Looking at the numerous negative reviews online, Chen Fei felt a little sad for the investors.

"Not to mention the usual cheap special effects, the plot is terrible, as if it was copied from an online novel, neither cohesive nor vivid."

"The fighting scenes were so awkward. By the end of the movie, Zhong Kui hadn't even conquered a few demons! What kind of rubbish is this?"

"I feel like this love story is just for the sake of making up the numbers. And the scariest thing is, after watching it till the end, I don't even know if it's a thriller, a romance, a science fiction, or a game adaptation? I'm totally confused!"

Apart from this film, which is generally recognized as a bad one, other films released during the Spring Festival are pretty average.

It’s not good, nor is it particularly bad. The final result can only be a quiet ending.

What surprised Chen Fei was that even though it encountered the impact of the Spring Festival period, the single-day box office performance of "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Unbreakable Love Letter" was still very stable.

After one week of release, the total box office revenue has reached 7.6 million, and it is not far from 10 billion.

……

In the evening, after finishing all the social engagements during the Spring Festival, Chen Fei appeared at the Capital Airport in a very low-key manner.

There are less than three days left until the Oscars. As a strong contender for this year's Oscar for Best Director, he naturally cannot miss the ceremony.

However, he had just arrived at the departure hall and hadn't even warmed up the seat when he heard a commotion outside.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Huang Shengyi, wearing sunglasses and accompanied by 6 bodyguards and 3 assistants, walking into the VIP waiting hall.

Behind her, more than twenty reporters rushed in, regardless of the staff's obstruction, and surrounded her to conduct various interviews.

After a while of noise, with the arrival of security, the group of reporters were finally cleared out.

Under the sunglasses, Chen Fei rolled his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable with Huang Shengyi's "high-profile" behavior.

This woman seems to have gone crazy. She has been obsessed with the Oscars recently and has been spreading all kinds of press releases everywhere.

After walking the Oscars red carpet with Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks, Giant Power Pictures revealed an even more explosive news!
According to Yang Zai, Huang Shengyi will also work with Tom Hanks on a Sino-US co-production blockbuster, with both parties playing the male and female protagonists respectively.

If this is true, it will undoubtedly be a big leap for Huang Shengyi's acting career. But the key is that this news came too abruptly, and there was no feedback from Hollywood at all.

But in the face of doubts, Yang Zai solemnly guaranteed that if this was false, then Giant Power Pictures would go bankrupt tomorrow!

As a result of his actions, public opinion became even more heated.

Chen Fei is now very curious, once the matter is exposed, how will they end up?
……

It was already evening when we landed in Hollywood.

After getting into the car that came to pick him up, Fade Chen turned on his phone and briefly checked the next day's box office for "Charlotte's Troubles".

The result of 1.45 million ranked high on the hot search list, attracting countless people's attention!
This wave of emergency adjustments in the screening schedule by the theaters has given "Charlotte's Troubles" hope for a rapid rise, and it has also allowed it to rapidly move towards a box office of over 10 billion, making many film producers in the industry envious.

After returning to the villa, Fade Chen pushed the door open, but before he turned around to close the door, a Cadillac stopped outside.

Looking at Leonardo stepping out of the car, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Leon? Did you install a tracker on me? Why are you here when I just got home?"

"Hehe." Leonardo showed a sly expression on his face, raised his phone and said with a smile: "You were secretly photographed by the paparazzi."

Fade Chen curled his lips and let him in with a helpless look on his face.

Returning to the living room, Leonardo was not polite at all. He took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, took out the cork with ease, and poured the bright amber red wine into the decanter.

Then, he said: "During the time you were away from Hollywood, Megan Ellison has been claiming that the two projects, Ben-Hur and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, were taken from you.

The media and fans have paid great attention to these two films, and the industry is optimistic about them, believing that they are two excellent projects.”

"Haha!" Chen Fei laughed out loud immediately: "But the fact is, I was the one who set the trap for her with these two projects."

"Oh?"

Leonardo is also the owner of a film company and does film investment projects on a daily basis. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "You mean, these two projects are doomed to fail? Why?"

Chen Fei shrugged and asked, "Since the success of The Lord of the Rings, Hollywood has produced many magical epics, but if you think about it, how many of them are truly successful?"

Leonardo suddenly fell into deep thought, and soon his expression became interesting.

"Fuck! I swear, I will never touch fantasy epics again!"

Fade Chen shrugged. "Of course, these two projects may also be successful. After all, before a movie is released, who can guarantee whether it is destined to fail or succeed?"

Leonardo glared at him and muttered, "Who in Hollywood, or even in the world, has a better eye for film projects than you?

You know, everyone except you has failed to some extent, but you seem to have never failed."

Fade Chen immediately retorted: "That's just my luck!"

"Come, have a drink." Leonardo suddenly handed the glass to Chen Fei mysteriously, stared at him and watched him drink it, then took the glass back.

Afterwards, he poured another glass of red wine into the glass, but did not hand it to Chen Fei. Instead, he drank it himself.

"Leon? What are you doing?"

Chen Fei felt a little disgusted. Why was this bastard sharing a wine glass with him?

"I want to borrow some of your luck to help me win the Best Actor award at the Oscars."

"grass!"

Chen Fei suddenly felt even more disgusted, because he suddenly realized that the guy was drinking from the place where his lips had just touched!
……

The next morning, just as Chen Fei contacted the brand to have them deliver suits for the Oscars to the villa, a piece of entertainment gossip suddenly spread throughout the entire mainland entertainment circle, even covering Hollywood!
"What the hell? You can actually play like this!"

Looking at the news online, Chen Fei was stunned!

Huang Shengyi and the Juli Pictures team suddenly announced to the public early in the morning that they had suffered a shocking theft last night.

At one or two o'clock in the morning, the villa where they lived was robbed by criminals.

Faced with this sudden blow, Huang Shengyi and her team felt very aggrieved and lost. They took quick action, reported the case to the police and contacted the media.

In an interview with Sina's Hollywood reporter, Huang Shengyi described the details of the stolen items in detail.

What was most heartbreaking for her and the entire team was that a suitcase containing a haute couture dress was stolen by criminals.

That dress was carefully prepared by Huang Shengyi for attending the Hollywood Independent Film Festival and the Academy Awards ceremony. It represents her taste and style. It is not only priceless, but also carries her honor and expectations in the film industry!
In an interview with reporters, she burst into tears and said: "This theft is a huge blow to our entire team.

This dress not only represents the hard work and efforts of our team, but also symbolizes our love and pursuit of the film industry."

Finally, she hopes to use the power of the media to make more people aware of this incident, and calls for attention and support from all sectors of society, hoping to recover the "stolen" dress as soon as possible.

Despite such difficulties, Huang Shengyi was not defeated.

At the end of the interview, she firmly stated that she would continue to work hard to improve her acting skills and performance level and bring more excellent works to the audience.

At the same time, she also hopes to contribute to the development of Chinese-language films in Hollywood through her influence.

As soon as the "dress theft" incident happened, the focus of public opinion immediately fell on Huang Shengyi and Juli Pictures.

The industry is already in an uproar, and netizens are saying all kinds of things:

"No way? Are you kidding me? How could a dress be stolen when it was placed in the bedroom? And yet nothing happened to the person? Are you kidding me?"

"Pfft... I am dying of laughter. This thief is also a dress lover? He ignored Huang Shengyi sleeping on the bed and chose to steal the dress?"

"Why do I feel like this is a bit like directing and acting myself?"

"Since your dress has been stolen, why don't you just come back here? It's useless to leave it there. Why would you walk on the red carpet? You don't have any masterpieces."

"I feel sorry for Saint Cloth. It's so pitiful. He actually encountered such a thing in a foreign country. What should he do next?"

"Where are the security guards of Juli Pictures? I saw the photos from the airport, and there were several bodyguards there? And they didn't catch the thief?"

"Call the police! Hurry! Isn't there surveillance in the villa area? Contact the FBI, they will be able to recover it quickly."

"I always feel like something is weird, something is not right..."

For the entire morning, the focus of public opinion in the mainland entertainment industry was all on the theft of Huang Shengyi's dress.

The popularity of this event even surpassed that of "Charlotte's Troubles", which soared to over 3 million RMB in box office revenue in just three days!

In the afternoon, Yang Zai, who was in China, finally spoke out.

He even exaggeratedly recorded a video and released it through the official blog of Juli Films:
"We are very grateful to the industry insiders, netizens and fans for their attention to this matter. We strongly condemn this type of theft and have already made an emergency plan to deal with it.

Next, the brand will use local materials to urgently make a new dress for Huang Shengyi to participate in the red carpet ceremony.

At the same time, please don’t be impatient, Tom Hanks’ fans, the armor will definitely appear in the most dazzling manner and announce the news of the new film project on the red carpet, so stay tuned..."

Inside the villa, Chen Fei was so happy watching the serious Yang Zai in the video.

It is no exaggeration to say that this guy's acting skills are good enough to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards, and he will definitely win a Golden Rooster Best Actor trophy!
