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

Chapter 994 The atmosphere of the Lunar New Year is getting stronger and a large wave of girl groups are coming soon!

As the morning of the 7th passed quickly, the premiere of "The Great Wall" officially came to an end.

Chen Fei still did not attend the subsequent banquet, but returned to the "Dying to Survive" crew and began to connect with the subsequent filming work.

His goal is to finish the film before the Spring Festival, so he has to work fast and cannot slack off at all.

At the same time, various news releases about "The Great Wall" have begun to flood the screen like crazy!

"This morning, the highly anticipated new film "The Great Wall" by Zhang Yimou held its premiere in Beijing. The film brings together international superstars such as Matt Damon, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Pedro Pascal, and Willem Dafoe, as well as well-known domestic actors such as Jing Tian, ​​Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, and Wang Junkai."

"As Zhang Yimou's first epic masterpiece, The Great Wall tells the heroic story of resisting the monster Taotie on the Great Wall. The film not only has stunning special effects and a thrilling plot, but also showcases the profound heritage of Chinese traditional culture through the wonderful performances of the five armies of the Shadowless Forbidden Army."

"This premiere is not only a feast of movies, but also a cultural exchange... Audiences from all over the world gathered together to feel the shock and emotion brought by this blockbuster that combines traditional Chinese culture with international elements."

"The Great Wall" continued to be a hot search throughout the entire day, and it was not until the next morning that it finally encountered a new opponent.

At 8:10 a.m. on the th, the news release about "Fengshen Trilogy" replaced "The Great Wall" and began to flood the screen.

"China Film Group, Bona Film Group, Edko Films, and Jingxi Culture Group jointly announced that the 30 billion RMB investment in The Investiture of the Gods Trilogy will officially start casting in January."

"It is reported that the 'Fengshen Training Camp' built by the crew of the 'Fengshen Trilogy' is almost completed and will be officially put into operation soon."

"In addition to inviting well-known actors in the industry, the 'training camp' will also select some amateur actors to train in the camp. The training will take up to a year before the official filming begins!"

It’s quite lively in the circle right now!

Looking around, those second-tier, third-tier, and even 18th-tier artists, as well as college students, seem to be ready to make a move.

After all, there are very few movies in the industry that choose amateur actors to participate, and "Fengshen" is currently a unique one.

It's a big project, you can learn a lot, and if you are selected you can become famous. This opportunity is really rare.

So, the whole morning passed by in the updates of the "Fengshen" project, and in the afternoon, news from Alibaba Pictures popped up again.

"The ancient costume fantasy drama "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", exclusively produced by Alibaba Pictures and adapted from the ancient novel written by Tang Qi Gongzi, will be premiered on Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV on January 2017, 1, and will be broadcast simultaneously on the five major online platforms of LeTV, Sohu, PPTV, Tencent, and iQiyi."

"The TV series Eternal Love, starring Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng, tells the story of the love story between Bai Qian, the Queen of Qingqiu, and Ye Hua, the Prince of Jiuchongtian, who experienced three love-hate entanglements and finally became a couple."

"A total of 70 scenes, including seven main scene groups, were designed and built for the drama, with a total scene construction area of ​​more than 9 square meters, 80% of which were newly built from scratch. The main scenes of Peach Blossom Fantasy World have just appeared, with distinct auras and characteristics, and will definitely not disappoint the audience..."

In order to make this drama a success, Alibaba Pictures invested a huge amount of money in publicity and promotion!
This morning, the popularity of "Fengshen Trilogy" was directly suppressed by "Eternal Love", which is a clear example.

At the same time, following the announcement on the official Weibo account, Yang Mi, who is currently filming "Negotiator" and "Legend of the Ancient Sword", and also successfully auditioned and got the leading female role in the movie "Baby", also posted on Weibo, calling on fans to watch "Eternal Love" together.

All of a sudden, "little bees" responded and liked, commented, and forwarded the post, which was a huge movement!

At 5: pm, Chen Fei returned to the company from the crew of "Dying to Survive" and met with Jiang Xueruo, who was in charge of the "Princess Agents" project, in the office.

"We have reached an exclusive broadcast agreement with Mango TV and will premiere on its 'Youth in Progress' channel on the evening of January 1. It will also be broadcast on Youku, iQiyi, Tencent Video, Mango TV, Sohu Video and other online platforms.

Currently, Zhao Liying is already leading the promotion team, but because the broadcast time has not been officially announced, the investment in publicity and promotion is not that big..."

Chen Fei nodded slightly, and then made a prompt decision: "Starting tomorrow, we will officially start the promotion and release work, and announce the broadcast time. We are going to start competing with Alibaba."

"it is good!"

Jiang Xue rubbed her head and nodded heavily. Not only was she not nervous or worried at all, but she looked very excited!
In fact, a long time ago, when she learned that "Princess Agents" would compete with "Eternal Love" for popularity, ratings, online broadcast click rate and popularity, she had already started preparations.

Now, the time has finally come to test whether this drama is up to standard!
She is now very much looking forward to which of these two dramas will be more popular?

Will Alibaba Pictures win, or will Feiyue Pictures be more skilled?

At 6 o'clock sharp, Jiang Xueruo left the office.

However, just as Chen Fei was about to leave work, Su Guohai appeared at the door and stopped him.

"Mr. Chen, this is the list of our company's annual meeting this year. Please take a look. If there is no problem, please sign here."

"Oh? Has it been confirmed?"

After taking the list from Su Guohai, Fade Chen lowered his eyes and read it carefully.

With the issuance of the "Korean Restriction Order", the South Korean girl groups from previous years can no longer come, but this has not affected the scale of the company's annual meeting.

If the South Korean girl group can't come, there are still Japanese, Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwan girl groups...

The most important thing is that members of Chinese girl groups who debuted in South Korea are not included in the "Korean restriction order".

Just by taking a quick glance, Chen Fei saw the information of several Chinese artists.

[Song Qian, actress and singer, was born on February 1987, 2 in QD City, SD Province. She graduated from the Capital Dance Academy and debuted as the leader of the f(x) group in September 2.]

【Cheng Xiao, born on July 1998, 7, is a Chinese female singer, actress, dance instructor, and member of Cosmic Girls. She graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School. She debuted as a member of the Wonder group of Cosmic Girls on February 15, 2016, and is currently active as a solo artist.】

[Zhou Jieqiong, born on December 1998, 12, graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School, a pop singer from mainland China, and made her official debut by participating in the talent show "PRODUCE 16". ]

【…】

In addition to these Chinese female artists, the largest number of remaining groups are girl groups from Japan.

Nogizaka46, Flower, Morning Musume, AKB48...

The list of performing guests was quite long. Chen Fei felt dizzy as he read through it page by page.

There's nothing I can do. Each of those female artists has their own unique looks and it's really hard to keep up.

"Okay, that's all, just decide on it."

Chen Fei generously signed his name in the column on the lower right corner, which also meant that tens of millions of dollars in announcement fees were spent.

But anyway, he doesn't feel sorry at all.

Everyone has been busy all year, isn't it just for today?

Especially those big names in the technical department, the reason why they have not been poached by other companies is not only because they can enjoy high salaries here, but also because of the excitement of the company's annual meeting.

"Okay, Mr. Chen." After receiving the signed list, Su Guohai asked tentatively, "Do we still need to reserve a spot for you this year?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Fade Chen suppressed his sadness and shook his head gently: "Forget it, if I come here, those people won't have a good time, so I won't come. You just need to put all the bonuses down."

"it is good."

Su Guohai nodded heavily, trying hard to hold back his laughter.

What do you mean you didn't have fun? That's a lame excuse. Isn't it because your girlfriend didn't allow you to come?
People like him can just slap the tens of millions of year-end bonus in front of their wives and attend annual meetings at will, without any care!
Although he had to pay his dues after returning, at least he had had enough of the sight. Turning out of the office, Su Guohai walked towards the elevator while taking out his cell phone and sending the name on the list of performing guests to Ning Hao, asking if he should reserve a spot for him.
After he sent the message, Ning Hao replied after a long time: "Forget it this year, I still have to be a judge at the Berlin Film Festival (crying)!"

"Well, this is also a henpecked husband."

Su Guohai complained mercilessly.

The 67th Berlin International Film Festival started on February 2th, and the company's annual meeting was held on the 9st of this month, so there is a gap of more than a month in between!

There is no need to guess, this person must be "controlled" by his spouse at home.

……

After a night, it was the 9th.

There were quite a few hot searches this morning, which really made the industry overwhelmed, dazzled, and full of heated discussions!
"The love and fantasy film "28 Years Old Minor", exclusively produced by LeTV Pictures and directed by Zhang Mo, starring Ni Ni, Huo Jianhua, Ma Su, Wang Dalu and others, was officially released this morning. The film's comprehensive screening rate on the first day was 19.6%."

"Operation Red Sea's first week of screenings has officially ended, with an additional 2.09 million yuan in box office revenue yesterday. The film's current first week box office revenue is 21.53 billion yuan, having officially broken the 20 billion yuan box office mark!"

"The martial arts film "The Swordsman" produced by Bona Film Group earned 450 million yuan yesterday, and its first-week box office closed at 4936 million yuan. The screening rate continues to decline, and its box office potential has been exhausted."

"Yesterday, the imported war, history and biography film "Hacksaw Ridge" starring Andrew Garfield was officially released. The film grossed 1758 million yuan on the first day, and the Maoyan and Douban scores were both 9.2 points, with great word-of-mouth!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"The 67th Berlin International Film Festival officially announced the nomination list this morning. Congratulations to Chinese director Liu Jian for being nominated for the main competition unit with his animated film "Great"!"

According to theater regulations, every time a new movie is released, it will have a certain impact on the screening schedule of previously released movies.

The arrival of "Hacksaw Ridge" and "28" will undoubtedly take away some of the screening time of "Operation Red Sea".

If nothing unexpected happens, the daily box office of "Operation Red Sea" will fall below the 2 million mark tomorrow.

But it will soon be like this! It cannot hide the fact that this movie has successfully earned 21 billion in box office in just one week!

"Director Chen, congratulations! You have another masterpiece that has grossed over 20 billion yuan."

In the crew of “Dying to Survive”, Wen Muye sincerely congratulated, unable to hide his envy and admiration.

Fade Chen reached out and patted his shoulder, encouraging him earnestly, "Don't envy me. Believe me, you will definitely have that day too."

"Oh, then I'll just have to thank you. I hope that one day I can make a movie that grosses over 20 billion... No, I'll be satisfied if it grosses over 10 billion."

"Haha, okay, I'm looking forward to that day." Chen Fei smiled and assigned him a new task: "Go and tell the rest of the crew that I'm booking a theater at Pan Asia Flagship Cinemas tonight and invite everyone to watch Hacksaw Ridge. Anyone interested can come along."

"okay!"

Wen Muye didn't ask why they wanted to book a theater to watch the imported film "Hacksaw Ridge". He just knew that Chen Fei wanted to treat everyone, so he just announced the good news.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

With the entire film and television industry watching, the promotional draft of "Princess Agents" made its grand debut in a "screen-sweeping" manner, just like yesterday's "Eternal Love"!
"Exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, starring Zhao Liying and Ren Jialun, the female inspirational legendary costume drama "11 Secret Agents" (also known as "Princess Agents") adapted from Xiaoxiang Dong'er's novel will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV's Youth in Progress column on January 2017, 1, and will also be broadcast on Youku, iQiyi, Tencent Video, Mango TV, Sohu Video and other online platforms."

"The Legend of Chu Qiao is set in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Through the wonderful plot and delicate character portrayal, it shows Chu Qiao's inspirational transformation from a slave girl to a generation of female warriors, as well as the love-hate relationship between her and Yuwen Yue."

"Chu Qiao, played by actress Zhao Liying, is tenacious, intelligent and brave, and her growth process is very shocking; while Yu Wen Yue, played by newcomer Ren Jialun, is a complex and emotional character, and the emotional entanglement between him and Chu Qiao will be the biggest highlight of the show."

"Zhao Liying posted a message saying: The biggest difference between fighting scenes in fairy tales and those in fantasy dramas is that the fighting scenes in Princess Agents required more precise movements..."

"The official Weibo account of "Princess Agents" released the first promotional video. In the video, Chu Qiao and a wolf are fighting on the sand. In order to present a realistic visual effect to the audience, Zhao Liying insisted on not using a stunt double to fight in person. Scars and bruises are all over her body due to the frequent fighting scenes..."

Looking around, netizens and Zhao Liying's fans are watching the promotional videos and press releases of "Princess Agents" and are spontaneously helping to promote it.

However, at this time, many people in the industry have turned their attention to Feiyue Pictures and Alibaba Pictures.

Last year, Chen Fei revealed that he had reached a "bet" with Zhang Zhao, president of Alibaba Pictures.

The two parties agreed to use the TV series and film versions of "Eternal Love" to compete with "Princess Agents" and "Zhu Xian" in terms of ratings and box office.

Once this news broke out, it caused a huge sensation at the time!

However, as time passed, this incident gradually faded from everyone's memory.

Now, with "Eternal Love" and "Princess Agents" both scheduled to premiere in January, one on the 1th and the other on the 29th, the topic of "bet" has undoubtedly been ignited again.

Many people previously thought that the two companies had probably stopped competing, but now it seems that the competition has just begun!
For a moment, people came in droves to join in the fun.

"First compete for TV ratings? Then compete for movie box office? Wow! That's interesting!"

"I don't know which side will win. Looking at the current situation, the popularity and exposure of both parties are not low!"

"I feel like it's hard to tell who wins in the TV drama category. After all, ratings and click-through rates are easy to fake and misreport, so the final results should be pretty much the same. What really determines the winner is definitely the movie box office."

"I think so too. Yang Mi and Zhao Liying are both first-tier actresses. Their popularity and status are second only to Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun. It is difficult to tell who is the winner simply by ratings and appeal."

"Now it depends on which of the two TV series is of higher quality. If the difference is not big, it will be difficult to compare them."

Alibaba Pictures.

Zhang Qi looked at the various press releases about "Princess Agents" on the Internet and couldn't help but reveal an expression of "as expected" on his face.

"The opponent is very strong and is coming with great force!"

When the secretary heard what he said, he subconsciously asked, "Director Zhang, do we need to continue to increase our publicity efforts?"

"Let's wait and see. It won't be too late to increase the publicity in January. After all, this is the time when all kinds of blockbuster movies are rampant during the Lunar New Year period, and the investment in TV dramas can't make much of a splash."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand."

"By the way, how far has the post-production of the film version of Eternal Love progressed?"

"According to the feedback from the later stage, it will be finished in about half a month."

"it is good!"

Zhang Qi was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Please notify the post-production department for me. Once all the work is completed, immediately send the finished film for review, and then schedule this film for the summer vacation."

The reason for choosing the summer vacation period is mainly because the schedule in this period is long enough and there are enough college students, who are the main consumers!
"Well, I'll make arrangements right away."

The secretary responded and turned to leave.

But at this time, Zhang Qi stopped her again and said, "There is also the premiere of The Ferryman. You should ask the publicity and promotion department to pay more attention. This movie will compete with Shanghai Film Group's Railroad Tigers. Besides, the other competitors are also strong. We must not lose too badly!"

Alibaba Pictures has already estimated that "The Ferryman" will definitely not be able to compare with the two movies "Operation Red Sea" and "The Great Wall".

But those other movies like "The Swordsman", "28-Year-Old Minor", "Railroad Tigers", etc. must be defeated!
