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

Chapter 883: Oh my goodness? Another big trap?
The time came to the morning of the 26th.

Early in the morning, several very eye-catching hot search news were already high on the hot search list.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," a Hollywood blockbuster co-produced by Warner and DC, grossed 1.2 million RMB on its first day of release yesterday!"

"Reprinted from The Hollywood Journal, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice grossed $8155.8 million on its first day in North America!"

"The film's reputation is extremely polarized, with its IMDb rating dropping from 9.3 to 7.5. Many passersby said the film's content is too obscure and difficult to understand, and is far less clear than the Marvel series of films."

Looking around, there are many people posting film analysis of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" on the Internet.

If you take the time to carefully read the tens of thousands of words of analysis, you will indeed have a good feeling and experience while watching the movie.

However, how many ordinary viewers would do this?
Except for those very loyal DC fans, how could ordinary audiences possibly read the film analysis that is tens of thousands of words long?

What's more, most of the analyses are not reliable or clear.

Based on this, Chen Fei can already draw a conclusion.

That is: the box office of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will definitely be very bad in the later stage!
Time soon came to the 27th.

As Chen Fei expected, the box office of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in North America dropped by 40% on the second day! The drop was very serious!
8155.8, 5065.7, 3379.1, 1504...

When the time came to March 3th, the "disaster" had already arrived.

The plummeting North American box office caused the reputation of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" to quickly collapse.

After only 4 days, the IMDB score had dropped to 6.1, and the Rotten Tomatoes freshness was only 25%.

Due to the lack of box office momentum, the film's overall audience score dropped from A+ to B, and the estimated North American box office also dropped from US$5 million to around US$3 million.

At this time, its domestic box office has dropped from the initial 1.2 million yuan to the current 2633 million yuan.

According to comprehensive estimates, with box office + offline operations, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" should not incur losses, and may even generate a certain profit. After all, this is a combination of Batman + Superman!
However, the reputation of this Hollywood blockbuster has completely collapsed!

Looking around, many passers-by and viewers are expressing their comments and opinions on many social platforms at home and abroad:

"As Director Chen said, this movie is too unfriendly to people who haven't read the comics. Zack Snyder should be making this movie specifically for DC comics fans, right?"

"When I hear 'Martha' I want to laugh. If I get robbed on the streets of Los Angeles in the future, can I also yell 'Martha'?"

"Warner, DC, do your executives go online? Please take a look at my review. This is not called polarizing the film, this is a flop! A complete flop!"

"Judging from the box office data, the value of what Director Chen said at the premiere is still skyrocketing!"

"DC should really hire Fei as its chief content officer. Look at Marvel, that's a real superhero system."

……

Feiyue Films, within the "La La Land" project team.

After skillfully playing a set of piano pieces, Chen Fei took his laptop and phone and started browsing his social media platforms.

Looking around, all the DC fans surrounding his account have now retreated.

Because facts have proved that his evaluation of the movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is correct. This movie is not for ordinary audiences at all.

On the contrary, many fans turned their love into hatred and went to Warner and DC to directly criticize:
"What on earth are the executives of Warner and DC doing? Don't you know that Batman v Superman carries the heavy responsibility of developing the entire DC universe? So this is what you did?"

"Green Lantern was a mess, Batman v Superman was a mess, and the Justice League plan was a mess. I really can't imagine how you can compete with Marvel?"

"I really didn't expect that the most successful DC movie in recent years is actually just The Dark Knight! Look at Marvel? Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Avengers...they are truly powerful!"

"Okay, I officially announce that I'm no longer a fan of DC and I'm going to join the Marvel camp."

"DC is finished, all thanks to the crazy minds of Warner and DC management!"

Although the fans on the foreign Internet did not curse as harshly as the domestic fans, their words were equally sharp and went straight to the hearts of Warner and DC management.

Chen Fei was very happy watching this.

He knew the situation would be like this, and sure enough, it came true.

Ever since Warner replaced a new group of management, all kinds of outrageous operations have emerged one after another, which are amazing.

And these movies that have suffered losses and poor reputation one after another are the best proof of this!

Of course, if Warner is the old-fashioned film company with the most outrageous operations abroad, then China Film is undoubtedly the one in China.

Looking at the latest announcement released by China Film, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to observe three seconds of silence for La Peikang.

"The action crime film "The Chase", jointly produced by China Film Group, Media Asia and Japanese capital and directed by Wu Yu, has been officially approved today and will start casting."

"The script of "The Chase" is adapted from the novel "Crossing the Angry River" by Japanese writer Toshiyuki Nishimura. It tells the story of international lawyer Du Qiu who was framed for a murder, chose to resist arrest and decided to find out the truth..."

"Forty years ago, Japanese director Jun'ya Sato won the Huabiao Film Award for Outstanding Translated Foreign Language Film with the original version of "The Chase", which was very popular and a great success!"

"This version of 'The Manhunt' directed by Wu Yu will deviate from the original content and significantly rewrite the plot, making it more inclined towards the action, suspense and crime genres that Wu is good at..."

"The movie 'The Chase' is a Sino-Japanese co-production. Japanese actor Masaharu Fukuyama has been confirmed to play the role of the "detective". The domestic actor has not yet been confirmed. We welcome major mainland brokerage companies to recommend actors for the casting."

Looking at the news online, Chen Fei really couldn't understand what La Peikang was thinking.

Not long after the box office disasters of "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing", he actually stepped into the big pit set by Wu Yu again.

What on earth was he thinking?

And it’s a remake of a Japanese movie from 40 years ago?
You can tell with your feet that this thing will never succeed!

Do you really think the current film market is still the same as it was 40 years ago?
Why pay tribute to Japanese actor Ken Takakura? If you miss him so much, why don't you go to see the Emperor?

"It's really hard to persuade that damn ghost with good words!"

Muttering something, Fade Chen immediately turned off the computer and continued practicing the piano piece that needed to be presented in the movie.

……

Unlike Chen Fei's disdain, the outside world is still paying close attention to Wu Yu's new movie.

After all, this movie was a success once 40 years ago, and Wu Yu also adapted it into the action and suspense genre films he is best at. Maybe there is hope to replicate the success of 40 years ago.

"'Wade Through the Angry Sea'?"

Zhang Ziyi looked at the original novel in her hand, muttering to herself, with a series of memories emerging in her mind.

She actually didn't want to continue working with Wu Yu because "The Crossing" really screwed her over so badly.

At the beginning, she specifically marketed herself as the "Kate Winslet" of the East, but in the end she was laughed at by netizens for a long time.

And all this was caused by Wu Yu, he is definitely the instigator!
Now Wu Yu is about to make a new movie. Who knows if he will make another bad movie?

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Zhang Ziyi quickly reached out and took it. After taking a look at the caller ID, her heartbeat suddenly quickened!
"Hello? Sister Hong?"

Although Chen Hong's voice had not yet been heard, Zhang Ziyi inexplicably felt as if she was going to be executed.

If she guessed correctly, Chen Hong must have called to inform her whether she had passed the audition.

The next second, the "death penalty" token was thrown over: "Ziyi, I'm sorry, Brother Kai said that your acting skills are fine, but your figure is too different from Yang Guifei. After all, women in the prosperous Tang Dynasty usually considered plumpness to be beautiful, and I think you should know this..."

Chen Hong explained a lot, but Zhang Ziyi only heard five words.

"Failed the audition!"

A few minutes later, Zhang Ziyi responded very dejectedly: "Okay, I understand Sister Hong, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, if there's another suitable role in the future, I'll contact you as soon as possible." After the call ended, Zhang Ziyi put the phone on the table dejectedly, her face filled with reluctance and helplessness.

The fact that her figure does not meet the standard is a hard condition and she has no way to change it.

She can do something to lose weight in a short period of time, but gaining weight is not easy, and gaining weight does not mean she can pass the audition...

So, now she has no chance to star in "Legend of the Demon Cat".

"Ugh!"

With a long sigh, Zhang Ziyi silently picked up "Crossing the Sea of ​​​​Angry" and began to read it.

At this point in time, the most important thing is to find an opportunity to make a comeback. She can no longer be picky.

……

At the same time, Shengkai Pictures.

Looking at Chen Hong who had returned from outside the audition room, Brother Chen Kai raised his head slightly and asked proactively, "How is it going? Have you contacted everyone?"

"Yeah." Chen Hong responded, then changed the subject: "I can understand that Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbin are not suitable, after all, their figures are indeed not up to standard, but isn't Fan Bingbing also suitable?"

"Alas." Brother Chen Kai sighed and shook his head, "If she was just debuting, she would have been quite suitable. Both her figure and appearance were very suitable for Yang Guifei.

But she can’t do that now. Whose Yang Guifei would have a sense of worldliness? This is not what I want, and it’s not what she can act out.”

Chen Hong opened her mouth, but was speechless.

She was also present when Fan Bingbing auditioned a few days ago. Indeed, that woman was too lustful. She seemed to exude a "fox spirit" feeling from head to toe. There was no trace of "purity" at all.

"So what should we do now? How about letting Yuanyuan take over?"

"Let's wait a little longer." Brother Chen Kai still held out a glimmer of hope: "Tomorrow Wang Huiling will bring a group of Taiwanese actors to audition. Maybe there will be someone suitable among them."

"Wanwan? There doesn't seem to be anything suitable there?"

Many actresses from Taiwan Province flashed through Chen Hong's mind, but she couldn't think of any suitable candidate.

Brother Chen Kai took a sip of water from the thermos cup and said slowly, "It doesn't have to be a famous actress. As long as the image, temperament, and acting skills are suitable, it doesn't matter if she's newly debuted or not very popular."

Hearing this, Chen Hong was speechless.

……

As the time came to the 30th, news about the cinema market once again occupied the pages of major entertainment news.

"The animated film "Zootopia" produced by Walt Disney has been released for 26 days and its domestic box office has officially exceeded 15 billion RMB, ranking No. 3 on the March movie box office list!"

"The action, adventure, fantasy film Gods of Egypt, jointly produced by Summit Entertainment, LeTV Pictures, and Lionsgate, has been completely removed from theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential, with a total box office of 2.34 million yuan."

"The daily new box office of the movie "The Mermaid" has dropped to 52, and the total box office is 33.58 billion. There are still 10 days left before the key extension ends."

"Many domestic films such as "Hot Pot Heroes", "My Grandpa is an Agent", and "My Upper Bunk" will compete for the box office on April 4st!"

“好莱坞进口大片《伦敦陷落》宣布定档4月8日，《奇幻森林》宣布定档4月15日，《美国队长3》官宣定档5月6日。”

As April is about to begin, the film market is extremely lively.

Domestic blockbusters and imported blockbusters complement each other, and it seems like they are competing with each other for supremacy!
At the same time, Chen Fei saw two pieces of news related to Feiyue Film and Television's TV series on a not-so-large page.

"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, the youth-themed web drama "Together With You 2" has been online for 35 days and the total number of views has exceeded 20 billion!"

"The crime-themed web drama "Undocumented Crime", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and co-starred by Qin Hao, Deng Jiajia, Yao Lu, Dai Xu, Wang Zhener and others, will be released on Youku on May 5."

Looking at these complicated and dense film and television news, Chen Fei couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Since the cinema market has been expanded again and again since the beginning of this year, the future of the domestic film and television industry has become increasingly bright. It seems that this industry has suddenly entered an era where one can make a lot of money with just a little effort.

I just don't know, in this process of accelerated development, whether anyone will take advantage of this opportunity to ruthlessly cut off those unlucky guys who have a lot of money in their hands?
Time soon came to evening.

After leaving the company, Fade Chen returned to the villa.

At this time, Liu Yifei had already packed her luggage and was waiting for him to come back so that they could set off for Zhejiang together.

"La La Land" will be filmed in Hengdian. This was decided a long time ago. The relevant filming team is already in place, and only the director and actors are left to arrive.

The business car soon stopped at the door of the villa, and Liu Yifei, who had been waiting for a long time, came out with her assistant, pulling two suitcases.

Chen Fei opened the car door, reached out to pull Liu Yifei up, and then handed her the plane ticket he had bought in advance.

"Did you bring your ID?"

"Well, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who loses things."

Hearing this, Fade Chen laughed. He really couldn't bear to hit her.

For someone who forgets to bring his or her cell phone when going out, it is normal to forget to bring his or her ID card. This is Liu Yifei’s criminal record.

Liu Yifei's cheeks turned red: "What are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"

"No!" Fade Chen quickly denied, "I was just thinking about filming with you again soon, so I was very happy and smiled."

"Is that right?"

Although Miss Liu was a little unsure, she still silently withdrew her hand that had reached out to Chen Fei's waist.

Seeing this, Fade Chen heaved a sigh of relief and secretly praised himself for being so smart.

This reason is absolutely impeccable!
……

As the night gradually darkened, the flight from the capital to Hengdian took off smoothly.

At the same time, just as Chen Fei and Liu Yifei were leaving the capital, many directors, actors, celebrities, etc. who were currently in the capital received invitations to the shareholders' meeting from LeTV.

"Major shareholders" such as Zhang Yimou, Guo Jingming, and Huang Xiaoming even received calls from Zhang Zhao himself!
"Mr. Zhang, what is the reason for holding this shareholders' meeting? Is the company preparing to go public?"

There was a sense of impatience in Zhang Yimou's voice.

Because he was really afraid of being poor.

After leaving Zhang Weiping's control, he finally became a major shareholder of LeTV Pictures. Isn't it all about financial freedom?

Now, as long as LeTV Pictures can be successfully listed, with the original shares in his hands, he can easily achieve a leap and surge in his net worth!
Therefore, he may be the most anxious among all the "star shareholders" to witness LeTV Pictures' listing as soon as possible.

"Haha, Director Zhang, are you already impatient?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Zhao spoke in a brisk tone, but also with a hint of persuasion: "You guessed right, this shareholders' meeting is held for the company's listing.

I can give you a sneak peek in advance. Mr. Jia will also be present at this shareholders' meeting, and there will be some very important news to be announced that will be very beneficial to shareholders!"

"Haha, good, that's great, I love hearing good news!"

At this point, Zhang Yimou could no longer hide his excitement.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, Jia Yueting will definitely announce a new method for the company to go public at this shareholders' meeting.

Once it is successfully listed, according to the shares held by all the star shareholders, LeTV Pictures will inevitably become comparable to Huayi, or even surpass Huayi.

Market values ​​of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions will be realized one by one.

By then, all shareholders who participated in the listing process of LeTV Pictures, without exception, will be promoted to billionaires and possess countless wealth and glory!
That night, many celebrity shareholders were so excited that they couldn’t even sleep. They were all imagining the moment when their wealth would skyrocket!
