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

Chapter 787 How could “God” collect taxes from people?

I am afraid that even the entire film industry did not expect that the film market in April would be so "exciting"!

With the end of Chen Fei's "film review" incident, on the other hand, the foreign imported blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" has once again received new news.

Although the film took only 12 days in total, it has cut 1.5 billion box office, which is really shocking!

There are still 18 days of screening period. If nothing unexpected happens, breaking 2 billion should be a matter of course.

At this point, the entire mainland film industry has been prepared and will welcome the second work that broke the 2 billion box office in 2015.

It's a pity that this is actually an imported film.

Fortunately, there is "Charlotte's Troubles" under pressure, otherwise, domestic films will lose face!

Affected by the extension key, "Charlotte's Troubles" officially ushered in the end of the show after 60 days of release.

As for the total box office, it has soared to 2.445 billion! It is only a little less than 200 million yuan than "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Yunnan Worm Valley", which is really surprising to all the mainland film industry practitioners!

A low-cost comedy with an investment of only 30 million yuan actually got 2.445 billion yuan at the box office. This can no longer be described as a big profit, it is simply taking off!

The mainland film industry is almost crazy with envy!

It is precisely because of this that many film and television companies, including netizens, have great expectations for Happy Twist's second film project "One Thought in Heaven".

If this movie can sell well again, then Shen Teng and Ma Li's value and status can be officially stabilized in the film industry.

At the same time, influenced by word of mouth, the box office of "Wrestling! Dad" has also soared, and there is a trend of breaking through the 1 billion box office!

On the other hand, Fan Bingbing's "Everything Grows" and Su Youpeng's "Left Ear" were also released after avoiding the peak time period of "Fast and Furious 7".

The former had a box office of 21.46 million on the first day, and Fan Bingbing's box office appeal is still as strong as ever.

However, in comparison, the latter is still higher, after all, the market for youth films has always been good.

The first-day box office of 55.14 million once again made Wang Changtian very happy, but the movie's reputation is still a little worse.

Netizens even gave this movie a jingle: "Youth should fall in love, don't forget to have an abortion."

Lao Wang obviously doesn't care about these. After all, for him, the box office is the key, and the reputation is acceptable as long as it is not too bad.

...

After settling the relevant matters in China, Chen Fei prepared to leave for Hollywood.

"Avengers 2" will hold a global promotional event, and then he will lead a group of main creative members to travel around the world.

"Do you want to go with me?"

In the villa, Chen Fei asked Liu Yifei while packing his luggage.

"No." Miss Liu shook her head: "I have to prepare the dress, jewelry, and makeup for the Cannes Film Festival. The products of several companies I endorse will be unveiled at the film festival, so I have to prepare in advance."

"Okay." Chen Fei nodded: "Then wait until I finish there, I will come back to pick you up, and we will set off to Cannes together."

"Yeah, okay."

After simply packing up their personal belongings, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei prepared to go out, go back to the courtyard, and see the old man.

Next, they have to travel around the world again, and they may meet again during the Chinese New Year.

However, what the two did not expect was that the car was still halfway, and a piece of gossip about the domestic "hosting circle" on the Internet suddenly attracted the attention of countless netizens!

"Tsk tsk? After all, you are still a host of the main station. You can hold back your dissatisfaction. How can you openly scold the person who gave you a job? And it was recorded by someone? Isn't this looking for death?"

Chen Fei curled his lips. He really couldn't understand the mentality of such people.

A movie called "Not Short of Money" and "Star Avenue" undoubtedly pushed him to a height that did not belong to him.

After eating, he turned over the table and cursed his mother. Isn't this courting death?

...

Sometimes, Chen Fei really wondered, who is the grandson of the old man between him and Liu Yifei?

Just as he opened the door, the old man happily handed a basket of red dates that he didn't know where to get to Liu Yifei, and even pulled her to ask with a smile.

But what about him? It was as if he was picked up and hung directly at the door.

"No, he seems to be picked up by the old man, and he doesn't even know who his parents are..."

Muttering a few words, Chen Fei could only put the things in the living room with a lot of complaints, and then turned and went out.

Less than a minute later, in the courtyard, the two of them had already started to boil tea around the stove.

The red dates were roasted, and the fragrance was refreshing!

Unfortunately, this was not the treatment he could enjoy after all. The shiny dates were prepared for Miss Liu.

After leaving the courtyard, the videos and news about the "teacher" on the Internet had been suppressed by the relevant departments.

The upper level has always been very fast in handling this matter.

Dismissal, removal of all his works, and investigation... These three axes directly ruined his future.

Perhaps in order to suppress this incident, in the afternoon, a hot news suddenly hit the hot search, firmly occupying the headlines:

"After Wu Yifan and Lu Han, the third member of the South Korean trainee group EXO has unilaterally announced his withdrawal from the group!"

"Chinese idol artist Huang Zitao returned to China in a low-key manner, and filed a lawsuit with the Seoul Court on the grounds of personal injury and unfair treatment, requesting that the exclusive management contract with SM Entertainment be invalid, and insisting on unconditional termination of the contract."

"Many domestic film and television companies and entertainment giants have extended an olive branch to him and promised to provide him with generous treatment, no less than any top star..."

In the atmosphere of heated discussion across the Internet, Huang Zitao's name quickly spread throughout the streets and became the focus of people's attention.

The next day, the name "Huang Zitao" dominated the entertainment headlines, social media, Weibo and other places of major domestic portals.

Domestic EXO fan groups even spontaneously held more enthusiastic activities than when they welcomed Wu Yifan and Lu Han, attracting the attention of countless people.

What is speechless is that Wu Jing was also affected a lot. A group of EXO fans blocked his Weibo account again, which made him very helpless.

At the same time, the "video" and "news" of the main station host yesterday morning were quickly forgotten by people, and the popularity dissipated, as if it had never happened.

This wave of emergency public relations is nothing short of professional!

On the morning of the 25th, Chen Fei appeared at the airport in a low-key manner, preparing to leave for Los Angeles.

However, because it was daytime, no matter how he dressed up, he could not escape the glare of the reporters and was still blocked in the hall.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I can only accept three interviews. Please bear with me."

After explaining his situation, he directly reached out and randomly called out three reporters, giving them the opportunity to ask questions.

"Director Chen, do you have any special plans for this trip?"

"I'm going to fly to Los Angeles to participate in the global promotional tour of "Avengers 2". The movie will be released in theaters around the world on May 12."

"Are you confident that you will win the Palme d'Or again during your subsequent trip to the Cannes Film Festival?"

"I'm not sure about this. After all, I have to see who my opponent is first, and romance and literary films usually don't have much of an advantage in winning awards, so don't have too high expectations. I won. Fortunately, I lost my life.”

"Director Chen, is there any inside story about the previous movie's failure to pass the review?"

"Insider story?" Chen Fei chuckled: "Maybe some people are too dim-sighted to see clearly. Fortunately, they corrected it in time, otherwise they would be in big trouble."

If you say there are three questions, they are three questions.

After answering, Chen Fei turned around and walked towards the ticket checking area without any hesitation.

A group of reporters behind him hurriedly caught up, but they were stopped outside the ticket check-in area by security guards. They could only watch as Chen Fei, the "hot search generator", disappeared from sight.

When we landed in Los Angeles again, it was already 11 hours later.

It's already 9 pm in China, but it's morning here in Los Angeles, and the time difference is huge.

On the way to Walton Pictures in the car, Chen Fei saw several news items that topped the Weibo hot search list:

"This morning, Director Chen Fei appeared at the airport, preparing to go to Hollywood to participate in the global promotion ceremony of "Avengers 2"."

"Facing the awards at the Cannes International Film Festival, director Chen Fei said that he did not have high expectations due to the limited subject matter of the film."

"Regarding the censorship issue of the movie "The Worst Man in the World", it is suspected that some people are dim-sighted, which led to the disclosure."

"The famous young director Guo Jingming announced that after the "Tiny Times" series of movies ends, he will adapt the best-selling novel "Grand Trail" written by himself. He will still write and direct it. The project will be officially approved in the near future, and it will also be directed to Open casting call for domestic film industry.”

"The outdoor reality show variety shows "Running Brothers" and "Extreme Challenge", controlled by Youku, with Feiyue Film and Television, and Enlight participating in the investment and production, have been announced to be finalized.

It is reported that the former will be officially launched in early May, and the latter will be officially logged into Youku and played online in early June. "

"Jiang Wen, a leading director in the industry, announced that he has confirmed that the novel "Xia Yin" will be used as the original work of his new film, which is the third part of the "Beiyang Trilogy", so stay tuned!"

"Hey! Finally, "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right" is coming!"

As soon as he saw the words "Xia Yin", a lot of fragments popped up in Chen Fei's mind unconsciously.

Especially when it comes to putting a pig stamp on someone's butt, only Jiang Wen can think of it. Most people don't have the imagination like him.

They walked all the way to the company. As soon as they entered the office, Natasha brought Chen Fei some good news.

"There is news from Marvel that the post-production period of "Ant-Man" is almost over. If nothing happens, it will be officially screened in theaters in the second half of the year.

"How to Train Your Dragon 3" and "Inside Out" have also received good news, that is, the progress of "Kung Fu Panda 4" will be slightly slower, and the production of this animated film is relatively difficult..."

After listening to Natasha's report, Chen Fei nodded slightly, very satisfied with the progress.

As expected of the Hollywood industrial system, any mature film project, as long as there is a steady supply of dollars, will be as fast as a rocket.

After talking about these projects that were about to be officially launched, Chen Fei turned to the new projects that were about to be launched.

"Is the "Ready Player One" project going smoothly?"

"Well, it went very smoothly!" Natasha couldn't hide her excitement: "I have already talked with the heads of companies such as Marvel, DreamWorks, Lucasfilm, Netflix, Hulu, and Tsuburaya Co., Ltd. The film and television copyright authorization letters have been signed.”

She was very optimistic about this project, and before Chen Fei could say anything, she couldn't wait to continue: "Once this film is released, it will definitely boost the revenue of 'Ready Player One Dreamland'.

I plan to take this opportunity to build fantasy parks closely related to local characteristics in Washington, Seoul, Tokyo, London, Paris and other places, and successfully overtake Disneyland! "

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "This proposal is very good and can be vigorously promoted."

With so much copyright in hand, if it is not developed and utilized in time, it will be a waste of resources!

What's the difference between having money and not making money, and being stupid?

But at this moment, Natasha suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, the tax rate on human peripherals is much higher than other types, which has also caused the development of peripherals for Marvel movies to lose a lot of revenue."

Chen Fei knew something about this. As far as he knew, the tax rate for human toys was 12%, while for other types it was only 6.8%.

Natasha frowned and said: "Marvel and I have been trying to figure out how to get around the high tax rate on this matter. After all, there are a lot of human toys in Marvel movies and related peripherals, which has always been a headache for us. place."

Chen Fei suddenly remembered a piece of news he had seen in his previous life: "I have an idea, but I'm not familiar with the laws in this area and I'm not sure if it's feasible."

Natasha blinked her big eyes and said curiously: "Fei, you always bring me surprises. Is there any surprise this time?"

Chen Fei smiled, briefly sorted out his thoughts and said: "Let me give you a simple example, let's take 'Thunder God'. He is not a human being. In the Marvel system, he is a god. How can he be classified as a god?" What about the scope of human toys?

By analogy, those superheroes who have been exposed to cosmic rays, bitten by bugs, hit by cars, and have nuclear reactors on their chests should also be out of the scope of humanity, right?

And the X-Men, as well as Venom in our follow-up plan, etc., should not be considered pure humans, right? "

On the sofa, Natasha's eyes were as bright as stars, shining brightly!

As Chen Fei told her story, she gradually discovered that this method seemed to be very feasible!

"Fei, you opened my mind. If this method is feasible, our income can be increased by at least 5 percentage points!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already taken out her mobile phone and dialed the number of the legal department: "There will be a meeting in half an hour. All lawyers responsible for copyright must be present."

After she hung up the phone, Chen Fei reminded him again: "If there is hope, maybe we can contact Disney and work together to fight this lawsuit."

Although Marvel no longer belongs to Disney in the current timeline, the latter is still a major copyright holder in Hollywood.

Moreover, Disney’s legal department is still very powerful!

It is no exaggeration to say that if a person accidentally ends up on a desert island and draws Mickey Mouse on the ground, it is really possible that Disney's legal department will be attracted.

This shows how strong Disney’s legal team is!

"Okay, I understand."

Natasha nodded seriously, turned and left the office to verify the feasibility of Chen Fei's words.

After spending a whole day in the company and dealing with some piled-up documents, Chen Fei returned to Beverly Hills, ready to catch up on the jet lag.

Starting tomorrow, he will have to follow the Marvel team on a global promotional tour for "Avengers 2".

In a blink of an eye, domestic time has arrived on the 30th.

Three movies, "Anti-Drug 2", "The Intruder", and "Why Deeply Xiao Mo" were released in mainland theaters at the same time, officially starting the competition for the May Day schedule!

At the same time, there are many pieces of movie information that have made hot search headlines:

"The comedy movie "One Thought in Paradise" co-produced by Happy Twist and Tianhe Feast International Culture Media and starring Shen Teng, Ma Li, Du Xiaoyu and others has officially announced its launch!"

"The first episode of the second season of the outdoor reality show variety show "Running Brothers" will officially start tomorrow night, so stay tuned!"

""Operation Mekong" has been officially announced to be released on September 30, and will officially join the competition for the National Day release."

"Feiyue Film and Television has officially announced that the third installment in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, "Kunlun Temple," will be officially launched. Ning Hao will once again take on the role of director, and all the original cast members will return."

"The Emperor has officially announced that "Ip Man 4" has officially started the project preparation plan and is expected to start production in July. This film is the final chapter of the Ip Man series of movies."

"Jiahe has officially announced that it will launch the movie "Chasing the Dragon" project, telling the story of the 'drug lord Ah Hao' and the 'Chinese Detective Lei Luo' who joined forces in black and white to dominate the world of Hong Kong Island."

Looking at the news dominating the hot searches, all practitioners in the film and television industry looked shocked and exclaimed!

Obviously, no one expected that so much movie information would break out on the last day of April!

"One Thought in Heaven", "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Temple", "Ip Man 4", "Chasing the Dragon"...

Looking at it, these movies are all projects with infinite potential!

On Huayi's side, Gu Changwei looked at the news on the Internet and couldn't help but sigh: "The film industry is becoming more and more prosperous."

"Well, it is indeed a change every year, much better than it was in 2000." Wang Zhonglei casually echoed.

He didn't really care about these, because Huayi's stock price had exceeded 60 yuan, and the total market value soared to 80 billion.

Perhaps it won't be long before the first "film and television company" in China with a market value of over 100 billion will make its debut.

By then, Huayi's "de-single-film" policy can be officially declared a success!
