It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 993 The bet is about to begin. This movie should not be called
Chapter 993 The bet is about to begin... This movie should not be called "The Great Wall"!
On the morning of the 7th, the news that the daily new box office of "Operation Red Sea" finally fell below the 300 million mark was high on the hot search list, which made many people in the industry look sideways and happy.
However, the daily new box office of 266 million and the total box office data of breaking the 1.7 billion mark in 5 days of release still made many people hate it!
"If only "The Great Wall" could have such a high result."
At the premiere of "The Great Wall" in the Great Hall of the People, La Peikang secretly sighed in his heart.
But the next second, his fantasy was shattered by Ren Zhonglun's sarcastic teasing: "Hey? Chairman Lada is so elegant that he actually came to the door to greet guests in person?"
"Hurry up and go in, I don't have time to deal with you today."
La Peikang waved his hand at Ren Zhonglun irritably, indicating that he should not hang around in front of him. There are many foreign guests from Hollywood coming today, and he mainly has to greet these people.
"Hehe, La Peikang, I advise you to be careful these two days, don't get beaten up and you don't know who beat you."
As soon as these words came out, La Peikang's face suddenly darkened.
He naturally knew what Ren Zhonglun meant by saying this, because the General Administration called him this morning and said that they had received many letters reporting him.
But what can he do?
Wasn't it because Hollywood reported him at the WTO that Han Sanping was forced to leave the position of Chairman of China Film Group?
If I continue to follow the style of "Zuoshan Diao", it would be strange if I can keep my position!
"Go away, you should take care of your "Railroad Tigers", you don't have to worry about my business."
The two exchanged a few words and finally parted unhappily.
~
It was 9 o'clock soon, and the outside of the Great Hall was already in a lively and boiling ocean.
Compared with "Operation Red Sea", "The Great Wall" is a real commercial blockbuster, and it does not have any main theme.
Based on this, the commercial atmosphere of the premiere of this movie is much stronger than that of "Operation Red Sea".
Looking around, the entire Great Hall is decorated very gorgeously, with various posters, slogans, props, etc. intertwined, creating a very amazing visual effect!
On the red carpet, the stars wore gorgeous dresses or formal clothes, smiled confidently, walked through the red carpet, interacted with the media and fans, and took photos.
Among them, director Zhang Yimou appeared with his wife and children, showing the warmth and harmony of the family.
And the leading actors such as Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Lu Han, Wang Junkai and others were all present, making the atmosphere on the scene as turbulent as a heat wave.
"Hey, Chen Fei, look, Brother Chen Kai actually brought Chen Hong and that Chen Feiyu together!"
In the back seat of Maybach, Liu Yifei pointed out the window and shouted in surprise.
When the media went to interview the crew of "Legend of the Demon Cat" some time ago, Brother Chen Kai also said that he might not have time to attend the premiere of "The Great Wall" because his movie was about to be finished.
But unexpectedly, he came back from other places today!
This is exactly what Liu Yifei was surprised about, after all, she often heard Chen Fei talk about the conflicts and disputes between these two "big directors".
After losing the title of "National Master" in the 2008 Olympics, Brother Chen Kai has been very dissatisfied with Zhang Yimou, and the two rarely communicate when they meet in public.
And since then, the two sides have been avoiding attending each other's "highlight moments"!
For example, when "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" held its premiere, Zhang Yimou did not go, but went abroad to work on his "The Great Wall".
Unexpectedly, Brother Chen Kai came back on purpose today!
You know, today is Zhang Yimou's highlight moment. The movie with an investment of 150 million US dollars and nearly 1 billion RMB is already the most expensive movie that Lao Mouzi has made in his many years of career.
"It's obvious that he came here for his youngest son."
Chen Fei saw it very clearly. After all, there were many big names and big names at the scene today. It was a good opportunity for communication. How could Chen Feiyu miss it?
In comparison, Chen Hong's appearance was naturally not as effective as Brother Chen Kai's personal appearance to win over people.
"Poor parents in the world!" Liu Yifei murmured with emotion, and suddenly remembered the scene of her mother taking her to ask for a role.
After a few minutes, when Chen Kai's family left the red carpet, Chen Fei led Liu Yifei out of the car.
As soon as the two people appeared, they immediately triggered extremely sensational cheers and howls on both sides of the red carpet, which was even more enthusiastic than the main creative team of "The Great Wall" today!
"Hmph, I want to see how long you can show off, Jiang Lang will eventually run out of talent..."
In a business car following behind the Maybach, Feng Xiaogang was nagging, cursing, and complaining.
This scene caused Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, and Ye Ning, who were sitting in the car, to frown immediately.
They really couldn't understand what Feng Xiaogang was thinking?
He has achieved such a high achievement at such a young age, and has also established a huge business empire. Even if he announces his retirement now, he will live better than you.
In this case, how can you be so arrogant?
The two Wang brothers who couldn't understand it even began to wonder if Feng Xiaogang had messed up his brain when he licked Wang Shuo?
"How about taking him to see a psychiatrist sometime?"
At the same time, in a Cadillac car behind the commercial vehicle, Zhang Zhao's eyes also fell on Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.
After staring blankly for a while, he turned to his secretary and asked: "How is the post-production process of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" going?"
The secretary blurted out: "The drama version has reached a broadcast agreement with Zhejiang Satellite TV and Dragon TV. Recently, Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, Gao Weiguang, Huang Mengying and others have begun to follow up on relevant publicity work."
"When is the specific broadcast time?"
"The 30th of next month is the third day of the Lunar New Year."
"It hasn't been announced yet, right?"
"The planned announcement time is tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and said slowly: "If nothing unexpected happens, after our announcement, Feiyue Film and Television will definitely announce the launch date of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" as soon as possible. You have to keep an eye on the ratings and click-through rate data...you must not lose!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will notify Xuanfa as soon as possible."
The secretary was very clear about the "verbal gambling agreement" between Chen Fei and Zhang Zhao. He knew that Alibaba Pictures must not lose this time, otherwise it would be in big trouble!
But then again, how easy is it to win over Feiyue Film and Television and "The Legend of Chu Qiao"?
After all, in comparison, Zhao Liying's popularity and status have long surpassed Yang Mi's.
They only shoot high-quality products and only produce high-quality products, but Yang Mi, a hard-working mistress, is simply too crazy. She doesn’t pick the good or the bad, and doesn’t care about anything except money. If things go on like this, she will explode!
…
Entering the venue, Liu Yifei immediately let go of Chen Fei's arm, left him "I'm going to find Tiantian", and then abandoned him.
Of course, he won't be alone, after all, there are too many acquaintances here today!
"Fei, I'm here..."
From a distance, Matt Damon started shouting and came straight to Chen Fei, attracting the attention and envy of many people present.
The two of them immediately hugged each other, and then started chatting.
"Fei, the next Oscars is on February 26th. Will you go there to attend? That Leonardo guy also said he wants to play a 'voting game' with you."
Chen Fei counted the time and responded with a smile: "If there is nothing else going on in the country, I should be there. We can wait for the next Oscar to play the 'voting game' again."
"Oh, okay then, let me wish you in advance that "Ready Player One" will be a hit at the box office next year, haha."
"Haha, when the time comes, you have to go out with me for promotions. Don't be lazy."
There were many people around who were paying attention to the conversation between the two. Now that they heard the two talking about the movie "Ready Player One", they were suddenly shocked!
"Ready Player One", which has been in post-production for more than a year, will be released next year?
"Don't worry, how could I be lazy? The one you should be wary of the most is Leon. After he won the Oscar, he completely fell flat and stopped taking roles..."
"That guy is really going to die. If I had known that would be the case, I wouldn't have helped him win the Best Actor Award..."
More than half an hour passed quietly in the sound of socializing and chatting. When the host called on the stage and invited everyone to take their seats, it meant that the premiere of "The Great Wall" had officially begun.
Chen Fei found Liu Yifei who was talking to Jing Tian, and walked to the front row with her.
"Eh? Where is Mr. Lu? Why didn't you see him today?"
"Wanda is holding a year-end meeting over there. Uncle Lu went there and didn't come today."
After a brief explanation, Jing Tian followed Zhang Yimou and the others onto the stage.
However, at this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Just now Tiantian told me that she was going to open a studio."
"Open a studio?" Chen Fei was slightly startled: "Isn't she in a cooperative relationship with Starlight?"
"I don't know for sure. She only told me that she will work alone from now on."
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at their seats.
What’s interesting is that next door to them is Brother Chen Kai’s family.
Lao Chen was still holding it, and after looking at Chen Fei, he just nodded lightly, with a very confident attitude.
Chen Hong, on the other hand, started chatting with Liu Yifei with a smile, trying his best to get closer to each other.
However, his son seemed a bit too dull. He just sat in his seat and looked at the stage blankly, just like a replica of Brother Chen Kai.
Turning around to look at Han Jia Nu and Zhang Mo, they were chatting animatedly and greeting everyone around them warmly. Each one seemed more awesome than the other!
~
A few minutes later, under the guidance of the host, Zhang Yimou and the crew of "The Great Wall" began to speak on the stage:
"First of all, I would like to thank all my colleagues in the industry for coming to support me today; to be honest, I am actually a little nervous today. After all, "The Great Wall" is the first fantasy special effects blockbuster I have shot in decades of filmmaking, and it is also a co-production with Chinese elements. Movie.
The producer, Legendary Pictures, has been preparing for this project for seven years. I am very grateful that they finally chose me to direct it. Really, I feel extremely proud and excited..."
After Lao Mouzi finished speaking, at the invitation of the host, La Peikang, who was hated by many colleagues in the industry today, actually stood on the stage and gave a speech:
"The story of "The Great Wall" abandons the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. Under the guidance of Hollywood narrative rules, it tries to influence the narrative through Chinese elements as much as possible, and uses "trust" as a foothold to seek the recognition of Chinese and Western values. To a certain extent, it tries to connect Chinese collectivist aesthetics with Western individualistic values.
The film carries the significance of Chinese films exploring overseas markets and cultural dissemination. It is a bold attempt for Chinese films to "go global"..."
As Chairman La Da finished speaking, a group of core creators also took over the topic one by one.
Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu and others expressed their feelings during the filming of the movie, and those popular actors who were stuffed in by the capital side also successfully obtained the qualification of "appearance".
Lu Han, Wang Junkai, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin, Chen Xuedong, Liu Enjia...
Chen Fei couldn't imagine how painful it must have been for Zhang Yimou to act with these people during the filming!
After all, what acting skills do they have?
The speech lasted until 10 o'clock, and then the movie started.
When preparing to put on 3D glasses, Chen Fei glanced at Zhang Qi, the chairman of LeTV Pictures, who was sitting in the corner, and felt inexplicably emotional.
When people are in power, they are simply in the limelight.
But now that they have lost power, they have become the object of hatred and disgust, which is also sad enough.
...
At the beginning of the movie, it shows the strong soldiers and horses of the Great Wall Guard.
The colorful and colorful armor is quite eye-catching, which makes people feel shocked when watching "Hero".
However, when the female soldiers wearing blue armor and holding spears stood on the Great Wall, Chen Fei couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn feminism!"
Liu Yifei's earlobe trembled slightly, and she reached out to hold his arm to calm his emotions.
As the plot deepened, the picture became more and more magnificent, and each scene unfolded like a scroll, making the audience feel as if they were in the world of the movie.
And when the mysterious creature "Taotie" officially appeared, the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a climax!
It has to be said that the special effects of "The Great Wall" are really good, and every detail is handled just right. It can be clearly seen that the production cost of 150 million US dollars was not wasted.
Afterwards, when the "Taotie" army filled the entire screen, exclamations began to sound!
The visual effects under the IMAX-3D giant screen are shocking, and the special effects shots directly bring an immersive experience to the guests present.
Everyone was amazed at the visual expression of this movie, as if they were also fighting a life-and-death battle with "Taotie".
However, in Chen Fei's eyes, this movie was just like the memory in his mind, full of flaws!
Just like what he watched in his previous life, if you only look at the content and visual effects of this "The Great Wall", it is definitely qualified.
But those extreme measures taken to fight against "Taotie", such as taking people to "make nests", are really a bit brainless.
Although this is for the needs of the plot, this sacrifice is too cruel, and it will definitely be criticized after the official screening.
Although the whole movie is star-studded, no character can leave a deep impression.
Even Zhang Hanyu, who has excellent acting skills, seems to have no soul because the plot does not give time to shape the character.
As for others, they are more like soy sauce. Although some people appear, it seems that they have never appeared.
What puzzled Chen Fei was that after the first round of siege, the Taotie took away "all" the bodies of the Taotie. Why? The film did not explain, and perhaps even Zhang Yimou did not know why.
Coincidentally, thousands of soldiers on the Great Wall turned a blind eye to the body until they found that the Taotie had resurrected during a patrol in the middle of the night. Then Zhang Hanyu, the commander of the army, received a box lunch, and then Da Tiantian took power...
"Alas!"
With a helpless sigh, Chen Fei silently took off his 3D glasses and began to observe the status of others.
Looking around, everyone was fascinated by the scene, and they would exclaim from time to time, and the "supporting role" effect was instantly maximized.
Zhang Yimou and La Peikang, who were sitting not far away, had smiles on their faces, as if they had already won the victory.
But Chen Fei was already praying for them silently, hoping that they could withstand enough psychological pressure and be able to withstand the abuse from the outside world.
The movie is really good, but why is it called "The Great Wall"?
It's OK to call it "The Great Wall", but why do you have to let a few foreigners climb the Great Wall to save the Chinese?
Even if you call it "Song Dynasty Fortress", it's better than "The Great Wall"!
Once the "Great Wall Feelings" and "National Self-esteem" are mixed with stains, it will be severely backfired!
Unfortunately, these high-ranking producers have lost the ability to empathize with ordinary audiences.
~
Near 12 noon, the movie officially ended.
At the invitation of the host, La Peikang and Zhang Yimou took the stage again and made a harsh statement!
"3 billion is just our starting point, it will never be the end! 4 billion... or even create a new Chinese film box office record, this is our ultimate goal!!!"
Accompanied by the warm applause from the audience, La Peikang's eyes subconsciously looked towards Chen Fei.
After all, at present, the biggest competitor of "The Great Wall" is "Operation Red Sea".
However, when he met Chen Fei's eyes, his heart was shocked!
"Pitiable? What does it mean? Why does he look at me with such pity? Does he not think highly of this movie?"
La Peikang was full of surprise, and the feeling of suspicion instantly filled his heart and could not be dispelled for a long time.
