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

Chapter 789 Let’s set a small goal first, that is… break the 2 billion box office!

10:00 a.m. on May 8, domestic time.

The Capital Airport is already bustling on weekdays, but it is even more lively today.

Reporters from dozens of domestic media, carrying cameras and holding microphones, have been waiting in the arrival hall of the airport early.

Their eyes occasionally glanced at the flight information on the display screen, and their faces were full of anticipation.

What makes the passengers curious is that the airport’s security measures are also stricter than usual, and the staff are busy maintaining order to ensure that everything is in order.

In the airport’s broadcast, the information of the upcoming international flights is repeated from time to time, and each broadcast seems to make the atmosphere on the scene more tense and exciting!

As the flight gradually approaches, the reporters begin to adjust their equipment, ready to capture every precious moment.

They knew that today would be a day of big news, because Chen Fei, known as the "No. 1 director in China", would lead all the members of "Avengers 2" back to the capital to build momentum for the upcoming premiere.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, in the expectation of everyone, the flight arrived on time.

"Everyone! Don't squeeze! Everyone must maintain order and not make a mess, otherwise no media will be able to interview you."

"Those in front squat down a little more! Don't block the view!"

"Xiao Li, when the people come out later, you squeeze forward and make sure to get the opportunity to ask questions."

"Ah? Supervisor? Didn't you say not to squeeze?"

"What? Are you new to this industry? Can the words spoken by entertainment reporters be true?"

Accompanied by the noisy noise, the door at the airport exit slowly opened, revealing the figures inside.

The one walking in the front was Chen Fei, who was wearing a black suit, smiling, and walked out calmly.

In order to achieve the best publicity effect as possible, he did not choose to show up in a low profile this time, but appeared in a very high profile under the eyes of everyone at the airport.

There was a commotion at the scene, and reporters rushed forward one after another, and the flash lights continued!

Chen Fei did not continue to move forward, but stayed where he was for a moment.

Soon, as he waited, the main members of "Avengers 2" walked out one after another, waving to the surroundings.

For actors, the airport is actually a catwalk show, so all actors know what to do.

Each handsome man and beautiful woman is heroic, humorous, or sexy and charming, and each one exudes a unique charm.

After seeing this scene, the atmosphere of the passengers who were still watching reached a peak instantly!

Once upon a time, who would have thought that so many Hollywood A-list stars could be seen at the airport?

"Alive! Wow! It's actually a living Iron Man!"

"Oh my god! The American hips are really worthy of their name!"

"Scarlett, I love you!"

"Haha, Loki is so handsome, even more handsome than the real person in the movie."

"Fuck?! I didn't expect that Thor is so strong in real life! A real hunk!"

Cheers and screams came one after another, as if the whole airport was overwhelmed by this craze.

Escorted by security personnel, Chen Fei and the members of the Avengers slowly walked through the crowd and walked towards the vehicles that had been prepared.

A group of "Hollywood superstars" looked particularly tall in the crowd, as if they were really superheroes walking out of the screen and descending into the real world.

During the period, many reporters raised various questions, but everyone did not respond according to the plan arranged in advance.

If the questions are answered now, what else can be discussed at the premiere tomorrow?

Of course, some autographs, simple group photos, and interactive sessions can still be carried out.

The whole airport pick-up process lasted nearly an hour, but for the media reporters and fans present, time seemed to pass quickly!

When the last member of the Avengers got on the car and the motorcade slowly drove away from the airport, the reporters reluctantly put away their equipment and began to sort out the footage they had just shot.

Although it took less than an hour to shoot, the footage stored in the camera today will surely become the headlines in the next few days or even weeks if nothing unexpected happens!

…

That afternoon, a lot of news had already appeared on the headlines of major entertainment websites.

"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "Avengers 2", produced by Marvel and directed by Chen Fei, starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and others, will hold a grand premiere in the capital tomorrow morning!"

"This morning, all the main creative members of "Avengers 2" have gathered and appeared at the Capital Airport."

"Congratulations in advance to Director Chen Fei for breaking the new box office record, the new film is a big hit, and another success!"

"..."

The whole afternoon was very lively online.

A group of Marvel fans rushed into Chen Fei's Weibo like crazy, posting congratulatory and welcoming comments, and looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow's premiere.

Since the organizer of this premiere is Feiyue Film and Television, the company's official Weibo also welcomed many Marvel fans, and even other film and television dramas produced by the company also gained a lot of popularity.

After arranging a group of people to the hotel that had been booked in advance, Chen Fei hurried back home.

Liu Yifei was originally going to pick him up at the airport, but because the plan changed temporarily, she gave up the idea and chose to wait for him at home.

As soon as they met, the two of them couldn't wait to stick together.

"Have you eaten? It's not dark yet, go take a shower first, and come back in the evening...ah!"

Before Liu Yifei finished speaking, Chen Fei directly picked her up horizontally, carried her on his shoulders, and ran straight to the bathroom.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now. Let's go take a shower together."

"But I've already showered. Can't you put me down first and wait for me in the bedroom?"

"No! No! Let's go to the bathtub first...then the sofa...the bedroom. I've already planned the route on the way back. I've also prepared a set of clothes for you. Hehe, it's the kind with fishing nets."

"Bad guy! You're a big bad guy!"

"Yeah, that's right, I admit it, little sheep, just let me eat you tonight!"

...

After a night, the next morning, Liu Yifei got up early with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.

Today she also has to attend the premiere of "Avengers 2", after all, she also played a cameo role in it.

Although this role only has less than 5 minutes of scenes, it is also one of the key characters and can be regarded as a turning point in the whole movie.

"It's all your fault. I have to apply thick foundation and concealer again today."

In front of the makeup mirror, Liu Yifei glared at Chen Fei with a reproachful look, mumbling to herself.

If she hadn't stayed up late last night, she would have only needed to put on light makeup today.

Chen Fei came over and pecked Liu Yifei's slightly swollen mouth, smiling and coaxing: "Don't wear a dress, wear a suit, heavy makeup just goes with the suit, it's Producer Liu who's on stage today!"

After a while, Miss Liu, who was in love, was coaxed to be happy.

The makeup team arrived at the villa at 7 o'clock, and after simply dealing with Chen Fei's styling, they began to work on Liu Yifei.

Bored Director Chen walked out of the dressing room, sat down in front of the sofa, and read the entertainment news.

As soon as he clicked the refresh button, he saw several new movie group news popped up on the headlines interface!

"The large-scale mythological masterpiece "Legend of the Gods", exclusively produced by Bona and with an investment of up to 500 million yuan, officially started shooting this morning."

"Bona Chairman Yu Dong appeared at the launch conference and said in an interview with the media: This film brings together a group of powerful actors including Li Lianjie, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Gu Tianle, Liang Jiahui, Xiang Zuo, and Wen Zhang, and will surely present a truly epic mythological masterpiece for the entire film industry!"

"According to people familiar with the Hong Kong film industry, "Legend of the Gods" was originally a film project under Huaxia Star, but because the company The company was delisted and closed down, so the script was sold to Bona Film Group. "

"It is reported that "Legend of the Gods" can also be called "Legend of Lei Zhenzi". It is actually a project created by Xianghua Qiang to support his son to embark on the road of acting. A group of Hong Kong actors will play supporting roles for him!"

"Legend of the Gods" is a top commercial masterpiece with a box office of 2 billion! Stay tuned!"

...

Looking at the words "Huaxia Star" and "Xianghua Qiang" that suddenly appeared, Chen Fei, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but sigh: "A centipede is dead but not stiff!"

If nothing unexpected happens, this "Legend of the Gods" will be his last masterpiece.

It is a great price to find so many people to support Xiang Zuo.

However, mud is still mud after all, it would be strange if it can be supported on the wall!

That guy has neither good looks nor acting skills. If he can really be promoted, it would be a miracle.

Moreover, with an investment of 500 million yuan, it is likely that more than half of it will be spent on hiring the actors, and then the cost of publicity and promotion will be deducted, and the remaining amount can be used to produce special effects.

Under such conditions, what excellent works can be produced?

Mythology is a well-known project that consumes special effects and funds.

In Chen Fei's view, 500 million is just a drop in the bucket, and at least 700 million yuan is needed to succeed!

Time passed by minute by minute, and at nine o'clock, Liu Yifei came from the dressing room.

"Mr. Wei Meng, I'm done with my makeup, and we can set off."

Hearing this, Chen Fei turned his head subconsciously, and his eyes were immediately attracted by Liu Yifei's makeup today.

Her makeup today is the kind of stunning that can be remembered at a glance. The base makeup is as delicate and flawless as snow porcelain, the eyebrows are sharp and full of power, and the eye makeup is as deep as the sea, and the eyes set off seem to penetrate people's hearts!

And the orange-toned red lips are as hot as a raging fire, revealing a passionate and resolute temperament.

In addition to her makeup, her outfit today is also very special, which can be said to fully interpret the word "aggression".

The black clothing is like her battle robe, and the toughness of the leather jacket is perfectly integrated with her temperament, as if it is a portrayal of her inner unruly and free, and the blessing of the suit and coat makes her more mature and stable in her aggression.

Every accessory on her body is like a weapon she carefully selected, making her invincible on the fashion battlefield!

When she appeared on the red carpet of "Avengers 2" in this image, the aura of aggression was simply impossible to ignore.

Many Marvel fans originally thought that Scarlett was the heroine on the red carpet today, but when Liu Yifei appeared, they found that they were completely wrong!

On the red carpet today, the most shining one was Liu Yifei!

A top masterpiece that can be ranked in the top five in the world came to China for its premiere, which is a very rare resource.

Therefore, the guests present today almost cover the first- and second-tier actors in the domestic entertainment industry.

Yang Mi and Yang Ying also came to the scene today, just to attract some attention and feed back to the box office of "Why Sheng Xiaomo".

But what the two never expected was that they were hit hard today!

Seeing Liu Yifei appear at the premiere with a "queen" attitude, the two suddenly felt ashamed.

On the red carpet, every look and every movement of Liu Yifei seemed to announce to the world: This is me, the unique and powerful me.

Her aggressive image is not only an external performance, but also a perfect embodiment of her inner tenacity, self-confidence and independence.

These are the qualities that Yang Mi, Yang Ying and other female stars lack.

Looking around, only Fan Bingbing can compare with Liu Yifei in terms of temperament in the entire domestic entertainment industry. As for others, they are completely suppressed when standing in front of her!

"If I want to be on par with her, I'm afraid I can only compete with her after Jiaxing goes public..."

At this moment, Yang Mi secretly swore in her heart.

No matter how much it costs and how much effort it takes, Jiaxing must be pushed to the market.

She wants to prove herself that all these years of hard work are not in vain!

Yang Ying, who is standing next to her, has another mentality: "When Xiao Ming and I get married and consolidate my identity and status, everything will come naturally."

As for other actresses, such as Ni Ni and Tang Wei, in addition to envy, they have an indescribable sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

If nothing unexpected happens, they may never catch up with Liu Yifei's current achievements in their lifetime.

…

The premiere went very smoothly. For these Hollywood superstars who came from afar, mainland actors, producers, film company bosses, etc., all showed a very enthusiastic attitude.

Many people shamelessly came up to get familiar with their faces. After all, there are not many opportunities to get close to Hollywood actors.

If you are lucky, you may be able to take advantage of a certain opportunity to successfully set foot in Hollywood.

As a pure popcorn movie, special effects, action, big scenes... these visual feasts are the real selling points of "Avengers 2".

The main flaws of the original work are that the plot is a bit confusing and procrastinated, and the villain's strength is not shown, and the ending is too hasty.

After Chen Fei's modification, these flaws have been made up as much as possible.

Although this also caused the release time to be extended from 141 minutes to 169 minutes, it at least brought a wonderful visual feast to the audience, and also made the characters in the film more full, laying a good foundation for the filming of the third part.

As the film ended, warm applause broke out at the scene!

Chen Fei turned his head and looked back, and saw that the Marvel fans who were invited to watch the film in the back row were all excited, and they were obviously very satisfied with the visual feast just now.

Seeing this, Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the fans are satisfied, then the movie is more than half done!

As for the film critics... these guys are born to sing the opposite tune, and there is no need to pay attention to them.

Accompanied by warm applause, Chen Fei led a group of main creators to the stage again and began to accept media interviews.

No matter when, the box office of a movie is always the focus of attention from the outside world. As expected, the first question asked by the media is to let him estimate the box office performance of the movie.

After taking the microphone from the host and thinking for a while, Chen Fei suddenly had an idea in his mind!

He casually said: "Then... let's set a small goal first."

As soon as this came out, many people in the audience cast curious eyes.

Small goal?

What's going on?

Why did he suddenly become humble?

Before everyone could react, Chen Fei added: "Let's break the 2 billion box office first."

Media/Reporter: "..."

Guests: "..."

Small goal? 2 billion?

"Fuck!" Wang Changtian, who was sitting in the front row, turned pale and almost couldn't help laughing.

Whose small goal is 2 billion!

What's the big goal? 5 billion? What kind of international joke is this?

...

Because of Chen Fei's words, the Internet exploded in the afternoon of the premiere!

"This morning, the Hollywood blockbuster "Avengers 2" successfully held its premiere ceremony at the Pan-Asia Cinema in the capital. The atmosphere was warm, hundreds of media gathered together, and thousands of Marvel fans came to support and celebrate the event!"

"During the red carpet session, Liu Yifei's aura was fully open, crushing the whole audience and attracting attention!"

"During the media interview session, Director Chen Fei said that he would set a small goal when estimating the box office, but then he shouted out a declaration of 2 billion box office, which caused an uproar at the premiere!"

"..."

At this moment, the video of Chen Fei's speech has been circulated on the Internet.

When netizens saw him casually say "set a small goal" and then spit out the number "2 billion", they couldn't hold back on the spot.

"Damn it! You are indeed Director Chen! This tone is even more awesome than when I drank fake wine!"

"Set a small goal? 2 billion first? Damn it, isn't this too pretentious? Are superhero movies really that awesome?"

"No, I have to buy a ticket to see the movie when it comes out. What kind of movie is this? 2 billion for asking?"

"If you don't count "Insect Valley," which was released during the Lunar New Year period, then the number one box office hit so far is "Charlotte" with a box office of 2.4 billion, right? Followed by "Fast and Furious 7" with a box office of 2 billion... …If there is another movie with a box office of 2 billion, it will be so interesting this year! Domestic theaters will explode!”

"I can't wait any longer. Let's go to Maoyan pre-sale and buy a ticket first. I want to see what kind of small goal is this? How dare you call 2 billion?"

"I have already supported 4 of them, and I will take my adopted sons to watch them together."
