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

Chapter 958 Feng Xiaogang started his "business" and achieved great success during the National Day holiday! Hollywood called...

“Is this movie really that bad?”

Located in a luxury house in the capital, Guo Jingming looked at the comments about "Jade Dynasty" by many fans and critics on the Internet, and his mind was about to become a mess.

He really thinks his movie is very good!
But now, looking at the reviews on the Internet, he began to question himself for the first time.

Especially after seeing the good reviews for "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun", it was even more difficult for him to accept it.

They were both released on the same day, so why did "Jade Dynasty" suffer so much criticism, while the rival company's movies received so much praise?

"What's wrong with the story? What's wrong with the special effects? They're all good!"

Guo Jingming was not willing to accept his own mistakes, but the emotions lingering in his heart could not be expressed, which was not a big deal.

So, after much thought, he finally focused on the promotion of the film.

"It must be because LeEco didn't do a good job in publicity, especially in terms of promotion. They didn't meet my expectations at all... That's right, that's it!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis made sense!
But at the same time, he couldn't help but have another strong doubt in his mind: "What is the current situation of LeTV? Why is the stock price still falling? Are the rumors true?"

……

Night fell quickly.

Within the Second Ring Road of the capital, Wang Zhonglei’s private club officially opened for business.

In the huge box, apart from two waiters wearing porcelain blue cheongsams slit to the hips who were making tea, there were only Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang.

"Come on, Director Feng, please go first. This is the best Biluochun."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

After taking the teacup from the waiter and touching his hand, Feng Xiaogang drank the tea in the cup, then smacked his lips like a cow chewing a peony and commented: "Good tea! Good tea!"

Wang Zhonglei smiled and did not laugh at his rough and uncouth tea-drinking behavior.

After drinking the tea in his cup, he winked at the two waitresses, signaling them to leave first.

After the door of the box was closed, he continued, "By the way, Director Feng, there is something I need to tell you in advance. The company has already promised the male lead of Youth to Huang Xuan from Chang Jihong's company."

"Huang Xuan?"

Feng Xiaogang frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, "Isn't he currently filming with the crew of Legend of the Demon Cat? Did Brother Chen Kai agree to his joining the cast?"

“No need to overlap.” Wang Zhonglei explained: “I’ve already inquired about it. By the time Youth officially starts filming, Legend of the Demon Cat will have already finished filming.”

"Oh, that's fine, as long as it doesn't delay my filming."

Feng Xiaogang is quite open-minded in this regard. He is a pure commercial film director. Overlapping films is not a problem for him. As long as the actors do not step on his sore spots, he generally will not restrict their freedom of life.

Of course, someone like Deng Chao wouldn't work.

The crew is promoting the movie, but you, a leading actor, are having a scandal with an actress outside and stealing the spotlight at the movie promotion conference. Aren't you deliberately causing trouble?
Putting down the teacup casually, Feng Xiaogang asked, "Have you negotiated the terms?"

"No problem, don't worry!" Wang Zhonglei promised confidently, "It's still two contracts. Try to avoid taxes. Your copy will be transferred to your card through an overseas account after the machine is turned on."

"Haha, okay, come, drink tea, continue drinking tea."

Feng Xiaogang picked up the teapot excitedly and poured a cup of tea for Wang Zhonglei himself.

He planned to treat "Youth" as a "business", which not only wanted to make money at the box office, but also to reap profits and to make some profit...

After this round, his pockets will definitely not be empty.

At this moment, just as the two were talking happily, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Mr. Wang, Director Feng, a guest has arrived."

"Haha, the second business has arrived. Come on, Director Feng, let's go to the door to pick up Mr. Chen in person. He is even more generous than Chang Jihong."

Wang Zhonglei shouted and walked out of the box with Feng Xiaogang.

Under the gaze of the two, on the other side of the corridor, Chen Jingfei was seen holding Yang Caiyu's hand and walking towards them with big strides.

"Haha, I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Wang and Director Feng to pick me up at the door. What a sin, what a sin!"

"It should, it should..."

"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you in person. Haha!"

A few people exchanged a few words at the door, and then walked straight into the box.

Yang Caiyu knew what her task was today, so after entering the box, she took the initiative to act as a waiter and served the three people.

Everyone first talked about various events in the current entertainment industry, as well as future development goals and directions, and then brought the topic to "Youth".

"Youth" is a drama film that interweaves art and war, and mainly tells the past stories of young people in the military art troupe during the self-defense counterattack war.

It was an era full of challenges and hope. The protagonists were in their prime, and with their passion and dreams, they wrote the youth chapter of that era..."

Feng Xiaogang sat upright on the sofa, enjoying the tea poured by Yang Caiyu while talking to Chen Jingfei in detail about the overview and highlights of "Youth".

“This movie is not just a war film, it explores the themes of youth, dreams and growth in depth. It is a masterpiece that can touch people’s hearts!”

After listening carefully, Chen Jingfei showed an admiring look on his face: "The script sounds very good. It has both literary and realistic elements and commercial elements. With Feng directing, it will definitely be a big hit in both box office and word of mouth!"

"I would like to thank Mr. Chen in advance for his recognition."

Feng Xiaogang smiled at first, then suddenly changed the subject and his eyes fell on Yang Caiyu.

"For the leading actress, my requirement is a woman who is good at dancing, pretty, and elegant, who can perfectly interpret the elegance of the young people in the art troupe in that era."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across Yang Caiyu from top to bottom very brazenly.

Finally, he shook his head slowly and said, “Although the girl you brought has a good figure, it’s a pity that her temperament and image do not match the setting of a heroine.

Therefore, I can only give her a supporting role, but Mr. Chen can rest assured that it will definitely not be a marginalized supporting role, but a core role, or you can say the second female lead. "

Upon hearing this, Yang Caiyu's eyes lit up first.

Second female lead?
This is already very good. You know, this is Feng Xiaogang's work, and he just helped Fan Bingbing win the Best Actress award not long ago!
Chen Jingfei finally reacted belatedly.

He did not take the teacup on the table, but picked up the red wine glass, and toasted towards Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei: "Thank you Director Feng and President Wang, I will officially entrust Caiyu to you, and please give her more instructions."

"Haha, no problem, no problem..."

Feng Xiaogang also raised his glass happily.

Another business deal has been successfully concluded, this is great!
After drinking a glass of wine, he glanced at Yang Caiyu next to him and immediately became playful: "I heard that Miss Yang studied dance before? There are quite a few dance scenes in Youth."

These words were so blunt that anyone who heard them would know what he was thinking.

Yang Caiyu smiled slightly after hearing this: "It just so happens that I just learned a new dance some time ago, and I would like to take this opportunity to invite the three of you to appreciate it."

"Haha, okay, okay, then I'll open my eyes, hahahahahaha!"

Bursts of lewd laughter echoed in the box.

After a while, the two waiters who had just poured tea were also called in. When they came out, the slit that had already reached the buttocks had been torn to the waist.

……

Overnight, the time has officially entered the October National Day Golden Week. Early in the morning, Weibo announced the first-day box office results of several movies that premiered in theaters yesterday.

"The fantasy, action, and adventure CG masterpiece "Jade Dynasty", which was produced by LeTV Pictures and directed by Guo Jingming, and starred by Fan Bingbing, Chen Xuedong, Chen Weiting, Amber Kuo, Yang Mi and others, grossed 5109 million on the first day."

"The comedy, action and adventure film "Ace vs Ace", jointly produced by Star Dynasty, Gravity Films and Magic City Aimee Films, directed by Wang Jing, and starring Liu Dehua, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Zulan, Ouyang Nana and others, grossed 2136 million on the first day."

"On the second day of its release, the box office of 'Passing By Your World' was reported to be 7364 million."

"The fantasy, action and adventure film "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace", directed by Ning Hao and starring Liu Ye, Shu Chang, Chen Minghao, Huang Bo and others, grossed 2.79 million yuan on its first day of release, breaking the first-day box office record of "The Mermaid"!"

"The Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace" grossed 2.79 million yuan in a single day. If the box office performance during the midnight slot is included, the cumulative box office of the film has exceeded 3 million yuan, making it the daily box office champion!"

……

With the media's successive reports, the news that the total box office of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Palace of Kunlun" has exceeded 3 million on the first day of its release is well known in the industry!

Under its strong pull, the mainland film market successfully broke through 3 million, directly creating a new high for the mainland film market during the National Day holiday!

Among them, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" took up 52.4% of the screenings and its box office directly accounted for 67.6% of the day's total box office, which successfully opened the box office feast of the National Day and ended the embarrassing situation in which Chinese-language films were strongly crushed by Hollywood imported blockbusters during the September period.

For a time, the thriving film market once again returned to the industry's attention.

You know, this data successfully broke the single-day box office record of 2016 million set by "The Mermaid" during the 2.7 Spring Festival!

The most important thing is that the result of 2.79 million was achieved even though the film was released on September 9, the day before the National Day Golden Week officially started.

"The Mermaid" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is the lucky time for the Spring Festival, and it has the best timing and location!
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the box office potential of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" is probably far more than this, and it may even achieve an even higher result on National Day!

Because according to media reports, movie tickets for "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" in all major theaters are almost sold out!

The box office pre-sales for prime time have even been delayed to after October 10rd!

As soon as the cinema chains saw this situation, they started to increase the screening schedule of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Kunlun Palace" without any hesitation.

It's a pity for "Jade Dynasty" and "Ace vs Ace". Because their reputation is not particularly high, these two movies have been forced to shorten their screenings by theaters.

But the one who suffered even more was the crew of "Monster Hunt 2"!
The film was officially announced to have started shooting at 9: in the morning, but until the afternoon, there was not a single piece of publicity about its launch on the Internet.

Other portals were fine. Under Jiang Zhiqiang's "money" offensive, they reluctantly began to give it exposure.

But only on Weibo, there is absolutely no traffic or exposure for "Monster Hunt 2"!
"Damn it! Damn it! This is really too much!"

Inside the crew, Jiang Zhiqiang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but his heart was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Of course he knew why this happened. He didn't need to guess. It must have been Chen Fei who deliberately tripped him up.

But he was totally helpless.

Because he is a shareholder of Weibo, as long as he instructs his subordinates to change the code, no news release about "Monster Hunt 2" will be on the hot search list, no matter how much money he spends!
But what can he do? There is no other solution except to stay together.

Begging for mercy was impossible, admitting defeat was impossible, and he couldn't expose the issue publicly.

Because he knows that netizens will not stand on his side. After all, he has a criminal record for stealing box office revenue for "Monster Hunt 1".

So now he can only wait!

Only after Chen Fei turned his attention elsewhere would he have the opportunity to publicly promote the film on Weibo.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. Weibo is almost becoming the back garden of Feiyue Film and Television. I must find a new promotional channel. Otherwise, when the movie is released, I will definitely be controlled by others..."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at the online promotion channels submitted to him by the publicity department.

Weibo is undoubtedly the most popular website on the list! It is followed by major portals, social networking platforms, etc.

Suddenly, the names of two apps appeared in Jiang Zhiqiang's field of vision!

“Toutiao? Tik Tok? A platform exclusively for young people? Sharing life and happiness…”

Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

He couldn't wait to take out his phone and called the head of the publicity department: "You should do an in-depth study of the two apps, Toutiao and Douyin. Enlightenment Pictures currently needs to explore new publicity channels. Perhaps we can focus on investing resources in new short video software."

"Okay, Director Jiang."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiqiang's mouth curled up slightly, and his mood was rarely better.

"I just don't believe it. Weibo is your backyard. Can other platforms also be your backyard?"

However, his good mood soon disappeared again.

Because the cinema manager under Enlightenment Pictures called him.

"Director Jiang, our cinema ticket sales have been falling drastically since yesterday. As of today, not only has the number of moviegoers decreased, but even the number of customers in the mall has dropped sharply. Some merchants have even asked to move out..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiqiang’s eyes went dark and he almost fell down on the spot!
He knew very well in his heart that this must be due to the impact that "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" was not released in theaters under Enlight.

If "Jade Dynasty" and "Ace of Comedy" are good enough, then perhaps they can save the customer flow.

But now the reputation of these two movies is very bad. So how can "Passing by Your World" alone attract traffic during the National Day Golden Week?
……

In a blink of an eye, night has fallen.

Inside the Wangfu Peninsula five-star hotel, the stars are shining and the candles are bright tonight...all because a celebration party for "Detective Chinatown 2" will be held here tonight.

Liu Yifei is very beautiful tonight! When she landed on the red carpet, she seemed like a fairy walking out of a classical painting. The details of her makeup and clothing all revealed her elegance and gentle temperament.

Under the media's flash lights, her skin showed a natural luster and delicateness, as fresh and translucent as dewdrops in the morning light, and the slender eyeliner outlined her eyes as bright as stars.

The uniquely designed and well-cut evening dress, as well as the diamond ring worth 3.8 million on her ring finger, undoubtedly perfectly demonstrated her dignity and luxury.

Walking into the venue and looking at the lively scene of people toasting each other, the two of them naturally blended in.

"Director Chen, congratulations! You've made a lot of money again."

"Mr. Chen! Can you please share some of your experience with us? How did you achieve a box office of 36 billion?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, 'Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun' should also be a masterpiece with a box office of 30 billion yuan. I would like to congratulate Mr. Chen in advance."

"Sister Yifei! You look so beautiful tonight!"

"Wow! A pigeon egg diamond ring? 3.8 million? You just brought it out like that?"

"Luxury cars, beautiful women, diamond rings, wow, I'm so envious that I'm about to cry!"

Those who came to the celebration banquet tonight were all Chen Fei's acquaintances or partners of Feiyue Films, while no one from other companies such as Orange Sky, Huayi, Bona, LeTV, and Alibaba Pictures came.

No matter who it is, it would be unpleasant to watch the opponent make money, so even if they received the invitation letter, they all chose to turn a blind eye.

This just happened to be in line with Fade Chen's idea. He could finally celebrate properly tonight without having to look at those annoying faces.

However, just as he was accompanying the "Detective Chinatown 2" crew members to smash the ice containing 36.42 billion tags, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Taking out his cell phone and glancing at the name "Steven Spielberg" on the caller ID, Fade Chen subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"Eh? Isn't this old man working on the movie 'The BFG' that he was invited to shoot for Disney? Why did he call me all of a sudden?"
