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

Chapter 959: Important guests are coming to Beijing! The son of the poet Chen Renda is about to make his debut?

After a night, it was October 10nd.

The much-anticipated box office figures for the first day of National Day were officially released this morning!
Early in the morning, media reports rushed out, attracting the attention of the outside world...

"The single-day box office of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple" exceeded 3 million during the National Day holiday, closing at 3.55 million, setting a new single-day box office record for Chinese-language films!"

"The reputation of "Jade Dynasty" has suffered a Waterloo. The single-day box office during the National Day Golden Week has accumulated 7395.9 million yuan, and the attendance rate has dropped by 70%."

"After three days of release, 'Passing By Your World' has grossed 2.6 million RMB, and the film has a good reputation."

"At 2 o'clock last night, Detective Chinatown held a celebration banquet in Beijing, and many film and television celebrities showed up to show their support..."

"Huayi Brothers Pictures has released a new announcement that it will hold a celebration banquet for the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" tonight, congratulating Director Feng Xiaogang and Ms. Fan Bingbing for successfully winning the A-level film festival award!"

"The fantasy film Monster Hunt 2, co-produced by Edko Films and China Film Group, starring Liang Jiahui, started filming yesterday."

"..."

All kinds of hot film and television news on the Internet are buzzing, but when it comes to the box office of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Palace of Kunlun", all of them are suppressed and can't raise their heads.

3.55 billion!
For many movies, this number cannot be achieved even after a month of release, let alone a single day.

All of a sudden, all major media outlets praised "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" to the skies, and all kinds of gorgeous words began to flood the internet as if they were free.

What was most unexpected was that the People's Daily actually published a commentary at exactly ten o'clock!
"The #Kunlun Palace# here is no longer just a one-man show by the 'iron triangle', but has also added many veteran actors and talented young actors, making the characters in the play more three-dimensional.

As a suspense adventure work, mysterious scenes and ferocious monsters are indispensable, and the production team of "Kunlun Temple" can be said to have brought the audience a top aesthetic feast... This reflects the industrialization level and aesthetic literacy of its production team, which makes the work even more powerful!

A large number of realistic special effects shots make the story closer to the original novel, increase the audience's sense of presence, and better lead the audience to follow the "Iron Triangle" to participate in this mysterious adventure.

I hope that in the future, all major domestic suspense, adventure, and special effects films can use this as a mirror to produce even better blockbusters!"

And with the appearance of this comment, it is like pouring a pot of boiling hot oil on the raging fire!

The real-time box office data of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" suddenly began to surge. After only one morning, the new box office revenue for the day had already reached 2 million!
In terms of ratings on major platforms such as Douban and Maoyan, the film's rating remains above nine points, and the number of comments from professional film critics has seen a surge!
As for the number of comments from fans, it increases by thousands every time the page is refreshed!

At this time, the managers of major cinemas were celebrating as if it was New Year, and their back teeth were almost showing when they smiled.

After waiting for more than a year, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Temple of Kunlun" did not disappoint their expectations. As soon as it was released, all major cinemas were packed with people. The major theaters made a lot of money, and even the customer flow of shopping malls was increased.

Faced with the long-lost scene of people queuing to buy tickets, managers of major theater chains increased the screening schedule of "Kunlun Temple" again without any hesitation.

After all, apart from Enlight Cinemas, who can resist money?
By this time, the entire film market has completely become a time node dominated by "Kunlun Temple", and almost all the focus is on this movie.

As for the remaining attention, only "Passing by Your World" can take it over.

"Jade Dynasty" was scrapped on the day of its release, and in the eyes of many people, "Aces Go Fighting" was more like a movie made by Wang Jing to make money, and the quality was completely substandard.

Some media outlets went the other way and specifically asked Guo Jingming and Wang Jing about their feelings about the box office failure of the National Day movie.

The former was still very stubborn, and in the face of the interview, he pretended to be calm and said: "'Jade Dynasty' is not actually for the purpose of making money, our main purpose is to promote CG production and fill the gap in Chinese-language films.

In addition, the preparations for "Legend of the Condor Heroes 2" are currently on the agenda, so please stay tuned..."

He can be tough in words, but Wang Jing can't be tough in words.

Seeing that the box office was getting worse and worse and he was afraid that he would not be able to recoup his costs, he suddenly became anxious and began to beg the theater chain to give "Aces Go Fighting" a chance and increase the screening schedule.

“Some people say my work is ‘kitsch’, but in my opinion, ‘kitsch’ means the masses, and movies should capture the popular aesthetic of the masses.

In order to shoot this movie "Aces Go Fighting", the crew spent 174 days and traveled 15000 kilometers to visit four international metropolises including BJ, Hong Kong, Macau and Milan to shoot the most gorgeous scenes in each place.

In February of this year, the crew filmed at many landmark buildings such as Milan Cathedral, Milan Arc de Triomphe, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and also shot the highlight of the film at Milan's San Siro Stadium, setting a precedent for Chinese films.

Such films should not be abandoned by the market. I hereby implore all major cinema chains to give "Ace of Kings" a chance so that it can be seen by more fans..."

However, when Wang Jing's remarks were reported by the media, the cinema chain had not yet made any response, but movie fans jumped out first.

"You're still asking for a screening? I want to kill you! The plot of the whole movie is really too stiff, the characters' emotions are inexplicable, the rhythm can't keep up with the plot development, and it's stretched for 2 hours, two whole hours!"

"Refund my ticket! Refund my ticket immediately! This is a fucking comedy movie. The jokes are so silly, there's no innovation at all, it's so embarrassing to watch."

"I think this movie should win a Golden Broom Award for Worst Film. I have to complain about the ending, which seems to be trying to imitate the ending of American superhero movies. It's very disappointing, especially that Ouyang Na Na. I really can't complain about it. How can such a person be an actor?"

"It's obvious that Liu Dehua has aged, and Huang Xiaoming's character is quite silly. The two of them work well together, and the fighting scenes are quite funny, but the story is just too bad."

"I call on all major cinema chains to reduce the screening schedule for this film and give it to "Kunlun Temple". I really can't get any tickets!"

……

Liu Yifei said last night that she wanted to go see "Aces Go Fighting", but after getting up on the morning of the 2nd, she read the reviews about the movie online and immediately lost interest.

"You go and do your work. I'm going to take another nap. I'd better not go to see this movie. I'll collapse if I spend two hours watching a bad movie!"

"Hahaha, okay, then you continue to sleep, I'll go to the company."

Fade Chen reached his hand into the quilt and deliberately patted her perky part, then turned around and walked out contentedly.

In fact, he knew long before the National Day holiday that this year would be the period when "Kunlun Temple" would dominate the market.

It is inevitable that "Ace vs Ace" will lose money.

The failure of "Jade Dynasty" will push LeTV Pictures, which is already standing on the cliff, to the halfway point.

As for "The Great Wall", I'm afraid it will trigger a huge "mudslide tragedy"!
After arriving at the company and having lunch, Chen Fei began to get busy with today's work.

The TV drama department submitted the casting lists for "You Are My Glory" and "Ashes of Love" for him to review.

The former chose Yang Yang + Dilraba Dilmurat, and the latter chose Yang Zi + Chen Xiao, both of whom are handsome men + beautiful women.

Chen Fei didn't think much about it. He chose to respect the market and respect Jiang Xueru's decision.

After signing his name on two project documents, he immediately arranged for his secretary to return the project documents to the TV drama department.

Then comes the next job...

Time passed quickly in the busyness, and in a blink of an eye, it was already past 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

"That's it for today."

After sorting out the documents on his desk, Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and replied to the message from Liu Yifei while checking the trending searches on Weibo.

The news that "Wolf Warrior 2" has started filming in the country has been reported.

At the same time, press releases about Huayi's celebratory reception began to be widely publicized.

Just like the celebration reception for "Detective Chinatown 2", a red carpet ceremony was also prepared for "I Am Not Fan Jinlian".

In the media footage, Feng Xiaogang, who had just won the Best Director Award at a Category A Film Festival, wore sunglasses and walked confidently onto the red carpet hand in hand with his wife Xu Fan.

During the signing session, a reporter asked about his next plans and arrangements.

In response to this question, he responded in a high-profile manner: "Youth! It has to be Youth! This movie will be another interpretation of my art and commerce, so please stay tuned..." Along with Feng Xiaogang, Fan Bingbing, who wore a flaming red lipstick and boldly showed off her sexy body tonight, also became a hot topic.

In the video released by the media, she, as the new film queen, shone on the red carpet with her arm around her boyfriend Li Chen.

"I'm Not Fan Jinlian has come to an end for now. Next, I will continue to invest in the filming of Win the World and the training plan for Sky Hunter. Please remember to pay attention to me, all my fans!"

……

Taking his eyes off the phone screen, Fade Chen walked out of the office and came to the parking lot.

The driver was already waiting for him here. After he got in the car, the Maybach drove towards the villa area.

In the car, Chen Fei recalled the call Spielberg made to him last night, and finally chose to call Jia Zhangke.

"Director Chen? What's going on?"

"Are you in the academy?" Fade Chen asked.

"Yes, I just came back yesterday."

"That's perfect. You can arrange for the college to prepare. I will take someone to visit the college in a few days and invite him to give an open class to all students. You should try to get all students to the auditorium to listen."

Lead someone?
Jia Zhangke was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"

"Steven Spielberg." Chen Fei replied.

Last night, the old man called him and said that he was coming to China to promote the movie "The BFG", which will be released on October 10.

The domestic distributor Huaying organized a campus tour for him, allowing him to visit Tsinghua University and share his experiences and film directing experience with students there.

Spielberg certainly wouldn't refuse, but at the same time, he wanted to go somewhere with a stronger film art atmosphere and take a look.

He couldn't disrupt Huaying's arrangements, and he wasn't familiar with the person in charge of Huaying, so he didn't bother them. Instead, he called Chen Fei, hoping that he could help with the introduction.

Chen Fei naturally would not refuse this.

If it were in the past, he would definitely recommend Spielberg to visit Beijing Film Academy, but now, the best choice is naturally the Shanxi Film Academy.

On the other end of the phone, when Jia Zhangke heard the name "Spielberg", he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

Spielberg is coming to give lectures at the Shanxi Film Academy? !

He couldn't imagine what a sensation this news would cause in the college once it was announced!
"What time exactly? I have to arrange it in advance."

"After National Day, probably around the 9th or 10th."

"Okay, okay! I'll make arrangements here, don't worry."

Jia Zhangke quickly agreed, his face almost bursting with smiles.

In the past two years, Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy have been competing for students. Jia Zhangke was originally thinking about how to promote his own film academy.

Now, the opportunity has come, hasn’t it?
……

On October 10, the box office figures for the second day of National Day were released again with the arrival of a new day.

And when the figure of 3.88 million was reported by the media, it once again blinded the eyes of many film and television companies and filmmakers in the industry!
"The Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace" has set a new record for single-day box office. After three days of release, the cumulative box office revenue has reached 10.75 billion RMB, officially breaking the billion mark!"

"The film has successfully broken the previous record of The Mermaid and Detective Chinatown 2 to reach a billion box office achievement the fastest, second only to Operation Mekong directed by Chen Fei."

"Another movie with a potential of 30 billion box office has been born. Let us look forward to whether "Kunlun Palace" can create a new box office record!"

"..."

A series of media reports directly shocked the industry.

No one expected that this year, after "The Mermaid" and "Detective Chinatown 2", another film with a box office potential of 30 billion would appear in such a short time!

To what extent has this fucking movie market expanded?
"Ning Hao, look! The movie 'Kunlun Palace' that you directed has only been released for three days, and the box office has already exceeded 1 billion!"

In the bedroom, Xing Aina woke up Ning Hao, who was sleeping in, with an excited look on her face and told him the good news.

The box office exceeded 1 billion in three days, which for people outside the circle may just be a signal that the quality of this movie is very good.

But for people in the industry, this means that the film’s potential and explosive power have just been stimulated, and the future is bright and dazzling!
"Look at you, what's there to be excited about? Isn't it just that the box office has exceeded 1 billion? This is the movie I directed, isn't it normal for it to be a big hit at the box office?"

Ning Hao said this in a cocky tone, yawned, turned around and went back to sleep.

Before the release of "Kunlun Temple", Chen Fei had already given him a heads-up, saying that the box office of this movie is likely to set a new record.

Therefore, he had already been mentally prepared.

And what is happening now undoubtedly confirms this.

Although he is indeed very excited now, he has to pretend to be cool in front of his wife, right?
But in the next second, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you touching? It's so early in the morning, don't move!"

"Come on, such a good thing has happened, shouldn't we celebrate? I'll give you another big fat boy, otherwise who will you spend the money you earn on?"

"No! No! I'm not going to have it anymore! My kidneys are almost being sucked dry!!!"

With the box office success of "Kunlun Temple", a "kidney tragedy" was happening in the bedroom.

……

In the morning, many people in the industry were still shocked by the box office performance of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Palace of Kunlun".

But when it was afternoon, everyone's attention was suddenly attracted to the youngest son of Brother Chen Kai!
Before this, many people in the industry knew that Director Chen had decided to let his youngest son develop in the film and television industry.

After all, Chen Hong has brought him to industry gatherings many times.

But what no one expected was that Chen Feiyu’s first official appearance actually involved a wave of extremely “sexy” moves!

"Chen Feiyu, the son of domestic Golden Palm director Chen Kaige, posted a group of rural life photos on Weibo today... His upright figure perfectly inherited the genes of his mother Chen Hong. He is handsome and heroic, and has the temperament of an idol!"

"According to insiders, director Chen Kaige and his wife Chen Hong intend to let their youngest son Chen Feiyu enter the film and television industry, starting as an actor, and gradually experience the hardships and difficulties of the film and television industry."

"Chen Hong said in an interview with the media this morning: Feiyu will indeed officially enter the film and television industry this month, and its first film will be officially announced soon..."

"Chen Feiyu - a new and bright purple star, is about to rise!"

"Many media outlets praised Chen Feiyu for his outstanding looks, which are very similar to the top star Wu Yifan. Coupled with his good family background and origin, his future achievements will surely surpass Wu Yifan, until he successfully ascends to the throne of the new top star of the domestic entertainment industry!"

……

For the entire afternoon, press releases about Chen Feiyu were everywhere, dominating the hot headlines of many portals and social media.

However, practitioners in the entire film and television industry are almost laughing like crazy!
Born into a family of two generations of film directors and the son of Chen Dashi, one of the only two Palme d'Or directors in China, it would have been fine for him to debut as an actor, but he actually tried to take advantage of the "traffic" and "popularity" of traffic stars. Isn't this too fucking outrageous?
