Chapter 531: Definitely a Loss? Teacher Liu Makes a Comeback! The Literary and Art Circles Are in an Uproar!

On May 2nd, the film and television industry was completely blown away!

"Xiu Chun Dao 2: Shura Battlefield" had a box office of 63.28 million on its first day on May 1st!

After being suppressed by Hollywood movies for 4 months, domestic movies have finally ushered in the moment of rise. This result is really exciting!

Even though three domestic films, "Inseparable", "A Letter to My Wife" and "The Moonlight" will be released in theaters on the next 4th, people in the industry simply don't believe that these literary and romantic films can compete with "Xiu Chun". Knife 2》.

The media began to report it extensively, and there were endless positive comments on Douban, Maoyan, Tieba, Weibo and other platforms.

"This is the kind of domestic martial arts movie that China should have. Whether it's the setting, costumes, props, plot or actors, they are all very attentive. It's worth it that I grabbed the pre-sale tickets. It's so worth it!"

"The story background, art setting, and action design all pursue a sense of realism. It can be regarded as an attempt by the martial arts genre to re-engage with the current audience. Preliminarily, the audience is buying it. I hope Director Lu Yang can continue his efforts in the future! "

"The fast editing in the movie makes the fighting scenes particularly emotional. The loyalty and love, humanity and destiny between Zhang Zhen, Shu Chang, Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin are gradually revealed in this movie. It is a great martial arts movie. !”

"In addition to Zhang Zhen, who is still extremely handsome, the newly added Jin Yiwei Lei Jiayin performed very well, but his head looks a bit big..."

"Yifei's sword is so handsome! I haven't seen that chivalry in a female star for a long time, and it must be my fairy sister!"

Along with the overwhelming praise, the box office also showed quite impressive results.

No. 5.2: 57.274 million.

No. 5.3: 52.677 million.

In the three days of the first weekend, the box office performance successfully exceeded 150 million yuan.

By this time, it was actually time to open the champagne at halftime.

Without even thinking about it, the goal of "guaranteing 300 million" will definitely be successfully achieved, and even "breaking 500 million" may be successfully achieved!

"Damn it, that kid made money again..."

Wang Zhonglei cursed, his eyes burning.

Huayi also invested in several low-budget films in the first half of the year. Unfortunately, without exception, all of them were overpowered by Hollywood blockbusters of the same period.

Therefore, when they saw that "Xiuchundao 2: Battlefield of Shura" had already recovered its investment cost in just three days after its release, the two brothers of the Wang family almost went crazy with envy!

Wang Zhongjun chuckled: "They won't be able to laugh for long. There will be "Wolf Wars" and "Men in Black 3" in the future. These are top blockbusters among imported films!"

"But, these movies are all released in the middle to late aughts!"

"Don't forget, they also have a domestic animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" to be released in June. That film will definitely lose money!"

Wang Zhongjun said it quite firmly.

The reason why he has so much confidence is entirely because there are three imported animated movies released on June 1st alone!

Under such circumstances, how attractive can a domestic animated film be?

…

"May will be considered stable."

Looking at the subsequent box office trend of "Xiu Chun Knife 2", Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then set his sights on "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".

If May is just the clarion call before the charge, then June is the occasion of a multi-party melee!

Yang Yu and Li Yang were under much greater pressure than Lu Yang!

Chen Fei specially called the two of them to the office, ready to cheer up the two novices.

"This year is quite special, especially June. It should be regarded as a hodgepodge period of animated movies. If we want to succeed, we must fight our way out..."

"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "The Magical Pirates", "Super Frog Warrior: The Mighty Instructor", "Submarine 2", "The Heroic Biography of Qi Jiguang", "Madagascar 3", "Brave", "Ser" Movie 2: Rey and Miles", "Pigman: The Dangerous Crisis", "Seafood Marines".

Although there are only 30 days in June, there are as many as 10 animated movies!

And these films all have to be fought at the same time.

You don’t need to think about it to know that it is an absolutely tragic batch!

Opposite the desk, Yang Yu and Li Yang had extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

How easy is it to fight a bloody road?

But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

They had no choice but to charge head-on, with no way out.

But at this moment, Yang Yu suddenly said: "By the way, Director Chen, that Six Little Soul Boy jumped out to cause trouble again. He has been targeting us since the movie was finalized, and even called on fans to go to the movie The bureau reported our movie, saying it ruined the original work, three views, and classics..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei couldn't help but frown.

When the filming of this animated movie started, the six little soul boys started to engage in sexual activities.

I respected him as an old-timer before, so the counterattack wasn't too fierce, just a slight warning.

"Hey? He's still unwilling to give in, right?"

Li Yang said helplessly: "Every time we release a promotional video, he will jump out and comment, saying that this is not good and that is not good. Many fans are led astray by him."

After hearing this, Chen Fei already made a decision.

"Okay, let me handle this matter. Your main task at the moment is to cooperate with Xuanfa to build up the popularity of the movie first."

"good."

The two of them responded and quickly turned around and left.

Chen Fei picked up the mobile phone on the table and directly called Wang Ke, who had been promoted to the second in command of Mango Channel.

Over the years, for all TV series produced by Feiyue Film and Television, the first broadcast platform must be a member of Mango Channel.

All of these come from the relationship between Wang Ke and Chen Fei that they established a long time ago.

And now, years of relationship maintenance and preparation have finally come in handy.

After receiving Chen Fei's call and listening to his request, Wang Ke immediately promised: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, it's just a six-year-old soul boy. It's a trivial matter. In two days at most, I will definitely let him see you from now on." People from Feiyue Film and Television all walked around with their heads down!”

"That's not necessary." Chen Fei said casually: "We are all in the same circle, we don't see each other when we look up, and if the relationship is too tense, it is not conducive to unity.

Well, doesn't he like our animated movie? Then you just make arrangements and let him help promote it for a month.

How about it? Is this too much to ask for? "

Wang Ke: "..."

This horse riding is much more serious than taking a detour when meeting!

Wang Ke secretly lamented Chen Fei's ruthlessness in his heart, but he kept agreeing: "Don't worry, it's no problem, but I think one month is a bit too short, so let him promote it until it is released."

"Haha, it's not impossible, just do whatever you want."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei curled his lips slightly with a slightly mocking expression.

"Before I became a capital, it was okay for you to bully me. Now that you have become a capital, you still want to bully me. How about I become a capital and do nothing? Today, let alone Monkey King, not even Tathagata!"

…

When the time came on the 5th, Huayi suddenly announced that "1942" would be released during the Lunar New Year.

However, the specific date has yet to be determined, because it needs to be coordinated with several other movies before their release to prevent a "beating yourself" situation.

At the press conference, Wang Zhonglei made a bold statement: "We are full of confidence in "1942". The box office performance of this movie will definitely break the record of "The Great Earthquake" and create a new box office performance."

When seeing this news, Chen Fei just wanted to say one thing.

"It's just crazy!"

Without even looking at the subject matter, I stupidly put it on the Lunar New Year stalls. Do you really think it is "Feng's Comedy"?

But soon, his attention was drawn by another piece of news.

At the "1942" movie press conference, Feng Xiaogang also took the stage to deliver a speech, and unexpectedly received a wave of approval.

"We have been raped by pirates countless times, and now they are still raping me, but I don't care. Even if they treat me as a chicken, I still have to fight my way through the rape. !

If this was a short essay written by Feng Xiaogang on Weibo, if nothing else happened, I am afraid it would have been ordered to be deleted on the same day.

But this time he learned wisely and said these words directly at the movie conference.

This result was quite unexpected. After all, no one expected that the superiors would choose to give in.

Han Sanping called and said directly: "Scripts like "1942" will not be blocked in the future."

"real?"

Chen Fei still didn't believe it, after all, the word "appropriate" was too broad.

"Why are you lying to me? If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

"Okay, then I'll try it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei directly sent five scripts in total to the film bureau: "Dear", "Fireworks in the Day", "The Chaser", "Heart of the Burning Sun", and "Into the Dust".

The first four scripts were rewarded by the system, while the latter one was written in his spare time based on the memory in his mind.

Before his rebirth, "Into the Dust" was one of the few movies he had seen in the cinema, and it shocked him greatly at the time!

Therefore, relying on his profound memory and without systematic help, he still wrote it out.

It’s perfect to use these five scripts to test the film bureau’s review system!

…

Wang Ke's efficiency is very high.

It was said that it took two days to get the six little soul boys, but it really didn't take more than the third day!

On May 6th, many "Journey to the West fans" suddenly discovered that Liu Xiaolingtong had deleted all critical comments about "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" overnight and became one of its supporters.

He even took the trouble to reprint the official promotional videos one by one and added "praising" comments.

Seeing this scene, fans who were still following him to boycott "The Return of the Great Sage" were suddenly confused.

The battle had just entered a fever pitch, and the leader actually switched sides.

What kind of cool move is this horse riding?

In the comment area under Weibo, many brainless fans were asking with concern whether the Six Little Soul Boys had encountered any threats.

"Teacher Six, we can't lose!"

"Teacher Six, if you are bullied in any way, just tell us, we are here!"

"Teacher Six, we will always support you. You are the best Monkey King in our hearts!"

In the study room, seeing the comments from fans, the Six Little Soul Boys were deeply moved.

Unfortunately, he finally had to reply with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern and support, I'm fine, I'm really fine.

After a deep understanding of this movie, I realized that I was too arbitrary before. This is actually a very good animated movie. Everyone is welcome to watch it..."

After replying to the message, Liu Xiaolingtong lay on his back in his seat, thinking about the threats from major TV series, and couldn't help feeling a little scared!

Fortunately, he was quick to back off, otherwise he would never appear on any TV station in the future.

Feiyue Film and Television's energy and influence are simply terrifying!

He is a small TV actor, and he is not even worth a fart in front of them!

...

Time came to the 8th, and the first week box office of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2: Shura Battlefield" was freshly released.

250 million yuan!

In addition, the box office of several movies released at the same time was also reported.

"Inseparable": 5.26 million.

"Letter to Wife": 150,000.

"Moonlight Haunted": 550,000.

Looking around, it was bleak!

Even if the total box office of those movies released at the same time as "The Blade of the Assassin 2" is added together, it can't even see its taillights.

It can be seen that most of these domestic art and horror movies are not much different from garbage.

At this year's 65th Cannes International Film Festival, not even a mainland movie was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Looking around, only Lou Ye was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit with "Floating City Mystery" on the announced list.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year's Cannes Film Festival has nothing to do with domestic films.

There is not even a Chinese on the jury.

The slogan "Art films are dead" inevitably appeared on the Internet again, and it was recognized by many people.

However, just as the popularity of this slogan continued to soar, the official website of the Film Bureau suddenly issued a notice:

"The five art scripts submitted by Feiyue Film and Television have all passed the review."

As soon as the notice came out, it immediately attracted a large number of onlookers!

"Dear", "Black Coal, Thin Ice", "The Murderer", "The Burning Sun", "Hidden in the Dust".

Five scripts in total, full of them!

In particular, the two words "Chen Fei" in the screenwriter column of these five scripts attracted the keen attention of countless male and female actors in the circle.

The director of the three European gold medals and the top powerhouse in the field of art films actually wrote another art film script!

It goes without saying that this must be prepared to win awards.

Chen Fei's art film scripts are well-known for their high quality in the circle. Not only can they win awards, but they can also achieve good results at the box office.

It is not an exaggeration to say that whoever plays in his movie will become popular!

Even if you can't get the three European gold medals, as long as you can get a nomination, it is also a strong improvement in your own ranking!

For a while, Chen Fei's phone was directly blown up, and even his text message list, mailbox, Weibo private messages, etc. were all filled with various messages.

"Don't worry, Sister Xun, there will definitely be a role suitable for you, and I will definitely notify you when the time comes."

"Haozi? Aren't you going to Cannes? Haha, don't worry, I will definitely not forget you, the little prince of art films."

"Are you Zhang Ziyi's agent? Sorry, these movies will not start shooting for the time being, and it may take a long time. If there is a suitable role, I will send an audition invitation letter..."

After receiving several calls in a row, Chen Fei was really annoyed and simply turned off the phone.

Among these scripts, except for "The Murderer", which is about to start preparation, the others will not be touched for the time being.

He just used these different types of scripts to test the strength of script review, which does not mean that all of them will be filmed in a short time.

The director, production team, team, etc. have not yet appeared, and the storyboards and plans have not been prepared yet, so the shooting is naturally a long way off.

The private phone suddenly rang, and Chen Fei pressed the answer button after holding his breath.

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping's first words were: "You are really smart. You came here as soon as the news was released from above!"

"Hey, I am just doing an experiment. Who knows how wide their review scope is?"

"Have you reached a conclusion now?"

"Well, it's not bad. I am quite satisfied this time."

Han Sanping didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your movie "Hidden in the Dust" is really cruel! It's just that the timing is special now. If it was put in the past, even the script you wrote would not pass the review."

"Haha, that's really a coincidence."

Chen Fei was also quite fortunate. After all, this movie had "experienced many ups and downs" before its rebirth.

If it can be successfully released in theaters this time, it can be regarded as a small wish of his.

At this time, Han Sanping suddenly changed the subject: "How about being a part of China Film? I'll help you run it and make sure you get the green light all the way."

"Hey? Don't you like big movies with huge investments? For example, "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing". Do you like these low-cost art films?"

"Alas, I've been under too much pressure recently. If I win a few more awards, I can stabilize my position."

Han Sanping's sigh immediately aroused Chen Fei's curiosity.

He sorted out the documents on the table, turned on the hands-free mode of his phone, and was ready to "eat melons".
