Chapter 994 The Atmosphere of the Lunar New Year Is Getting Stronger and a Large Number of Girl Groups Are Coming!

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 banquet later, but returned to the "Dying to Survive" crew again and started to connect with the subsequent filming work.

His goal was to finish the filming before the Spring Festival, so he had to rush to work and could not slack off.

At the same time, various news releases about "The Great Wall" were already flooding 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, William Dafoe, as well as well-known domestic actors such as Jing Tian, ​​Lu Han, Peng Yuyan, Lin Gengxin, Zheng Kai, and Wang Junkai."

"As the first epic masterpiece directed by Zhang Yimou, "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 ups and downs in the plot, but also shows the profound heritage of Chinese traditional culture through the wonderful performance 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 touch brought by this blockbuster that combines Chinese traditional culture with international elements."

"..."

The hot search for "The Great Wall" lasted for a whole day, and it finally ushered in a new opponent until the next morning.

At 10:00 a.m. on the 8th, the news release about "The Conferred Gods Trilogy" replaced "The Great Wall" and began to flood the screen.

"China Film, Bona, Anle Films, and Jingxi Culture jointly issued a notice: The "Conferred Gods Trilogy", which has an investment of up to 3 billion yuan, will officially start casting in January."

"It is reported that the "Conferred Gods Training Camp" built by the "Conferred Gods Trilogy" crew 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 enter the camp for training, and it will take up to a year for training, and then officially start filming!"

The circle is very lively at this time!

Looking around, those second- and third-tier, even 18th-tier artists, and college students in school are already eager to move.

After all, there are too few movies in the circle that choose amateur actors to participate, and "Conferred Gods" is currently a unique existence.

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 dynamics of the "Fengshen" project. After the afternoon, 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 30, 2017, and will be broadcast simultaneously on five major online platforms including LeTV, Sohu, PPTV, Tencent, and iQiyi."

"The drama version of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is starred by Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng, telling the fairy love story of Bai Qian, the Queen of Qingqiu, and Ye Hua, the Prince of Jiuchongtian, who experienced three love-hate entanglements and finally became a couple."

"The drama has designed and created 70 scenes including seven main scene groups, with a total scene area of ​​more than 90,000 square meters, and 80% of them are newly built from scratch. The appearance of several main scenes in the Peach Blossom Fantasy World has just appeared, with distinct aura and characteristics, which will definitely not disappoint the audience..."

In order for this drama to be successful, Alibaba Pictures has invested a huge amount of publicity and promotion expenses!

In the morning, the popularity of "The Legend of the Gods" was directly suppressed by "Eternal Love", which shows that.

At the same time, after the official Weibo released the notice, Yang Mi, who was filming "Negotiator" and "Legend of the Ancient Swordsman" and successfully auditioned for the leading female role in the movie "Baby", also posted on Weibo, calling on fans to watch "Eternal Love".

For a time, "little bees" responded, liked, commented, and forwarded one after another, which was a huge momentum!

At 5:30 pm, Chen Fei returned to the company from the "Dying to Survive" crew 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. It will premiere on the evening of January 29 on its 'Youth in Progress' channel. 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 team to promote it. It's just that the broadcast time has not been officially announced, so the investment in publicity and promotion is not that big..."

Fade Chen nodded slightly, and then made a decisive decision: "Starting tomorrow, we will officially start the publicity and promotion work, and announce the broadcast time. We are going to compete with Alibaba."

"Okay!"

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" was going to compete with "Eternal Love" for popularity, ratings, online broadcast click rate and popularity, she had already started preparations.

Now, the time to test whether this drama is qualified has finally come!

She is now very much looking forward to which of the two dramas will be more popular?

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

～

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

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

"Director Chen, this is the list for our company's annual meeting this year. Take a look and sign here if you have no problem."

"Oh? It's confirmed?"

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

With the issuance of the "Korean Restriction Order", the South Korean girl groups in previous years were unable to come, but this did not affect the scale of the company's annual meeting.

If the South Korean girl group can’t come, aren’t there still people from Japan, China, Hong Kong Island, and Bay Area...

The most important thing is that members of Chinese girl groups such as those who debuted in South Korea are not included in the "Korean Restriction Order."

No, Chen Fei only glanced at it and saw the information of several Chinese artists.

[Song Qian, actress and singer, was born on February 2, 1987 in QD City, SD Province. She graduated from the Capital Dance Academy and debuted as the leader of f(x) in September 2009. 】

[Cheng Xiao, born on July 15, 1998, is a mainland Chinese female singer, actor, dance instructor, and member of Cosmic Girls. She graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School. She debuted on February 25, 2016 as a member of the Wonder group of Cosmic Girls. She is now Act as a solo player. 】

[Zhou Jieqiong, born on December 16, 1998, graduated from Seoul Performing Arts High School. She is a female pop singer in mainland China and officially debuted in the talent show "PRODUCE 101". 】

【……】

Apart from these Chinese female artists, the largest number of others are girl groups from Japan.

Nogizaka4r, Morning Musume, AKB48...

The list of performers was quite thick, and Chen Fei felt dazzled as he read page after page.

There's nothing I can do about it, those female artists all look different in their own way, it's really hard to look past them.

"Okay, that's it. Just settle it."

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

But, he didn't feel distressed at all anyway.

Everyone has been busy for a whole year, isn’t it just for today?

Especially the big guys in the technology department, the reason why they have not been poached by other companies, in addition to enjoying high salaries here, also has something to do with the excitement of the company's annual meeting.

"Okay, Director Chen." After taking over the signed list, Su Guohai asked tentatively: "Will I still reserve a place for you this year?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Fei suppressed his "sadness" and shook his head gently: "Forget it, those people here are not having fun when I come here, so I won't come. You can just be responsible for putting down all the bonuses."

"good."

Su Guohai nodded heavily and suppressed a smile.

Why don't you have fun? This is such a lame excuse. Isn’t it because your girlfriend is not allowed to come?

It's like him. He just slaps the tens of millions of year-end bonuses in front of his wife and attends annual meetings and the like without any care at all!

Although I have to pay the public food when I go back, at least my eyes are satisfied.

Turning around and leaving the office, Su Guohai walked towards the elevator, took out his mobile phone and sent Ning Hao the name on the guest list, asking if he would like to save a place for him?

After he sent it, it took a long time before Ning Hao replied: "Forget it this year, I still want to go to the Berlin Film Festival to be a judge (crying)!"

"Well, this is also a henpeck."

Su Guohai complained mercilessly.

The 67th Berlin International Film Festival started on February 9th, and the company's annual meeting was held on the 31st of this month. There was more than a month between them!

You don't need to guess to know that this person must have been "controlled" by the family member.

…

After a night, the time came to the 9th.

There are a lot of hot searches this morning, which really makes the industry dizzying, dazzled, and hotly discussed!

"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 first day The overall film placement rate is 19.6%.”

"The first week of screening of "Operation Red Sea" has officially ended. The new box office yesterday was 209 million yuan. The film's current box office in the first week is 2.153 billion yuan, which has officially exceeded the 2 billion box office mark!"

"The martial arts-themed movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master" produced by Bona had a new box office of 4.5 million yesterday, and the box office revenue in the first week was 49.36 million. The film schedule rate continues to decline, and the box office potential has been exhausted."

"Yesterday, the imported film "Hacksaw Ridge" starring Andrew Garfield with war, history, and biography themes was officially released. The film's box office revenue on the first day was 17.58 million, and both Maoyan and Douban scored 9.2 points. It has a huge reputation!"

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

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

The arrival of "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Under 28" will undoubtedly take away part of the film schedule of "Operation Red Sea".

If nothing unexpected happens, the daily new box office of "Operation Red Sea" will fall below the 200 million mark tomorrow.

But it will soon be like this! It cannot hide the fact that this movie successfully cut 2.1 billion box office in just one week!

"Director Chen, congratulations, you have another masterpiece movie with a box office of over 2 billion."

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

Chen Fei reached out and patted his shoulder, encouraging him earnestly: "Don't envy me, believe me, you will definitely have such a day."

"Oh, then I will thank you. I hope that one day I can also make a movie that breaks 2 billion... No, I will be satisfied if it breaks 1 billion."

"Haha, okay, I look forward to that day." Chen Fei smiled and assigned him a new task: "Go and tell the other crew members that I will book a theater at Pan Asia Flagship Cinema tonight and invite everyone to watch "Hacksaw Ridge". Those who are interested can go together."

"Okay!"

Wen Muye didn't ask why he 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 notified the good news.

...

In a blink of an eye, time has come to the afternoon.

Under the watch of the entire film and television industry, the publicity draft of "Princess Agents" was just like yesterday's "Eternal Love", and it made a grand appearance with a "screen-sweeping" attitude!

"The female inspirational legendary costume drama "11 Secret Agents Princess" (also known as "Princess Agents"), exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and starring Zhao Liying and Ren Jialun, adapted from Xiaoxiang Dong'er's novel, will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV's Youth in Progress column on January 29, 2017, and will also be broadcast on Youku, iQiyi, Tencent Video, Mango TV, Sohu Video and other online platforms."

"Princess Agents" is set in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Through the wonderful plot and delicate character portrayal, it shows the inspirational transformation of Chu Qiao from a female slave to a generation of female warriors, as well as her love and hatred with Yuwen Yue."

"Chu Qiao, played by actress Zhao Liying, is tenacious, wise and brave. Her growth process is very shocking. The new actor Ren Jialun plays Yuwen Yue, a character with a complex personality and rich emotions. The emotional entanglement between him and Chu Qiao will become the biggest highlight of the show. "

"Zhao Liying posted a message saying: The biggest difference from the fighting in the fairy tale drama is that the martial arts movements in "Princess Agents" are more neat during the filming..."

"The official Weibo of "Princess Agents" released the first promotional video. In the video, Chu Qiao and the wolf are playing in 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 frequent fighting scenes..."

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

However, at this time, many people in the industry have set their sights on Feiyue Film and Television and Alibaba Pictures.

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

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

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

However, as time went by, this matter gradually faded from everyone's memory.

Now, with "Eternal Love" and "Princess Agents" both scheduled for January, one on the 29th and the other on the 30th, the topic of "bet" has undoubtedly been ignited again.

Many people thought that the two companies had stopped competing, but now it seems that this has just kicked off the competition!

For a time, people came to join in the fun.

"First compete for TV ratings? Then compete for movie box office? Wow! Interesting!"

"I don't know which side will win? Judging from the current status, the popularity and exposure of both shows are not low!"

"I feel it's hard to tell the winner on the TV side. After all, ratings and click-through rates are easy to fake and misreport. The final results should be about the same, and the real winner is definitely the movie box office."

"I think so too. Yang Mi and Zhao Liying are both first-line actresses. Their popularity and status are second only to Fan and Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun. It's hard to tell the winner simply by competing for ratings and appeal."

"Now it depends on which of the two TV shows is of higher quality. If the difference is not big, it's really hard to compare."

Ali Pictures.

Zhang Qi looked at the various press releases about "Princess Agents" on the Internet, and couldn't help showing a "as expected" expression on his face.

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

The secretary heard what he said and subconsciously asked: "Mr. Zhang, do we need to continue to increase the publicity efforts?"

"Wait a minute, it's not too late to increase the publicity efforts in January. After all, this period is the time when all kinds of blockbusters are rampant during the Lunar New Year period, and the investment in TV series can't make any big waves."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I understand."

"By the way, how far has the post-production of the film version of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" progressed?"

"According to the feedback from the post-production side, it will be completed in about half a month."

"Okay!"

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

The reason for choosing the summer vacation is mainly because the schedule of this period is long enough, and there are enough college students, who are the main consumer groups!

"Well, I'll arrange it now."

The secretary responded and turned around to leave.

However, at this time, Zhang Qiong called her again: "There is also the premiere of "The Ferryman". You should ask the publicity and distribution department to pay attention. This movie will compete with "Railroad Tigers" of Shanghai Film Group. Besides, the strength of other opponents is not weak. We must not lose too badly!"

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

But those other movies such as "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", "28-Year-Old Minor", "Railroad Tigers", etc. must be defeated!
