Chapter 542 The Slap in the Face Comes Fast! The Great Poet Chen Shows Off His Status? Zhen Zixuan Is Completely Panicked!

Just when Amy Knott and the performing artists of the Holy Valley set a trap for Ben Affleck, a guy with a head full of women, Chen Fei had already finished the first phase of filming of "Dallas Buyers Club" and officially entered the second phase.

In Studio 2, "Ron" played by Matthew had become the leader of the club, selling a large number of drugs every day and reaping huge returns.

The pain can be cured by drugs, and it can also be exchanged for huge returns. This deal made Ron extremely excited.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the threat of death!

"Cut!"

After finishing the current stage of filming easily again, Chen Fei called a stop and began to instruct the crew to transfer.

Taking advantage of the rare gap, he took out his mobile phone and continued the "melon" that he had not finished eating before.

Huayi made a lot of noise and invited many theater leaders to get a suitable gambling agreement.

However, the slap in the face came quickly!

The next morning, the nine major cinema chains jointly issued a notice, explicitly rejecting Huayi's request for a gambling agreement.

"After discussions with our cinema chains, we believe that movies such as "1942" and "The Guillotines" do not meet the conditions for signing the same revenue-sharing gambling agreement as movies such as "Pacific Rim" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Because according to the content of the agreement, the revenue-sharing ratio will only change when the box office of the movie exceeds 700 million.

And the highest box office results of several directors headed by Feng Xiaogang and Liu Weiqiang in the past were only 690 million, and this was produced under the premise of key extension.

Therefore, there is no need for both parties to sign a gambling agreement. We also hope that Director Feng Xiaogang can create higher box office results..."

Once this notice appeared, it can be said that Feng Dapao's face was slapped!

The meaning is too obvious.

To summarize it simply, it can be summarized in five words: "You are not qualified."

If you can't even produce a work with a box office of over 700 million, there is no need to sign a gambling agreement!

Moreover, during the meeting that afternoon, several representatives of major theater chains even watched the finished film of "1942".

How to say it...

If this kind of movie is released during the Lunar New Year, it is simply courting death!

As the person in charge of the theater chain, they can evaluate in advance whether a movie can sell high box office and whether it can get a very high attendance rate.

Compared with the science fiction co-production film "Pacific Rim", "1942" that Huayi is about to release during the Lunar New Year is obviously not the kind of blockbuster that can be favored by the audience and theater chains!

I don't know where Huayi's confidence comes from?

"Damn, according to them, except for the movies produced by Feiyue Film and Television, the movies produced by other directors and production companies in China are not qualified, right?

Admittedly, none of my previous movies have a box office of over 700 million, but does this "1942" not work? Fuck! A bunch of dog eyes looking down on others..."

In Wang Zhongjun's office, Feng Xiaogang yelled and cursed, as if he would log on to Weibo in the next second and blast those theater chains!

"Look down on us?" Wang Zhonglei sneered: "This time, we must let them see that it is completely stupid to look down on Huayi!"

Several people were quite confident before, so they sent out the press release in advance.

But I really didn't expect that they would be slapped in the face in just half a day.

It's obvious that there must be a lot of people watching the fun online and in the circle.

Chen Fei went to Feng Xiaogang's Weibo to take a look, and sure enough, the comment area was flooded again:

"Oh? 'Always' was rejected by the cinema chain?"

"You are really a fool. The delay was only 690 million yuan, which is neither up nor down. It's really embarrassing."

"It only got 690 million yuan by booking the theater and delaying the release. It's not based on real materials. What's so proud about it?"

"You still compare with Chen Fei? The total box office of all your movies is not even one-tenth of Mr. Chen's!"

"Did you get slapped in the face? Does it hurt? If it hurts, I'll rub it for you?"

The more he looked, the brighter the smile on Chen Fei's face became.

The firepower of this group of netizens is really fierce. Not long after the news from the cinema chain came out, they already got the first-hand news.

It seems that arguing with Feng Dapao has become a game that some people never get tired of.

…

"What? The global box office has exceeded 600 million US dollars?"

The news from "The Hunger Games 2" that Chen Fei had not paid attention to for a long time suddenly came, which made Chen Fei slightly startled.

The second part after the drastic change has exerted unparalleled box office potential, and it has received continuous praise online.

Many people are looking forward to the appearance of the third part, wanting to know how Katniss rescued her partner and became the mockingjay of the rebels!

Wen Ziren has confirmed that he will be the director of the third part.

After the filming of "Fast and Furious 6", he will completely step down as the director of the "Fast and Furious series" and focus on the finale of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay".

Universal Pictures has decided to continue the Fast and Furious series. After the end of Fast and Furious 6, Fast and Furious 7, 8, and 9 will appear in turn.

But Wen Ziren no longer wants to continue filming. He thinks that the Fast and Furious series can be declared over after the end of the sixth part.

But Universal Pictures obviously does not want to give up this treasure pot.

After seeing the outline of the subsequent script, Wen Ziren immediately rejected the invitation to continue directing the subsequent series.

Fast and Furious 6 was relatively normal, but the latter part was purely a group of ordinary people in the "superhero" mode.

It was as outrageous as it could be!

He is not short of money now, so it is better to get out of it as soon as possible to avoid being criticized.

And "The Hunger Games" is also preparing to end. In comparison, he still likes which movie more.

Unlike the original world's operation of dividing "Mockingjay" into two parts, this time, Chen Fei still chose to remove the dross and take the essence.

He directly merged the two scripts together to make a brand new script.

Various preparations were condensed again, focusing on the rescue process, killing when necessary, saving when necessary, rich emotional portrayal, conflicts and oppression continued to escalate...

During the closing process, Chen Fei will still follow up as a producer to ensure the completeness of the film's story.

This can also make up for his regrets.

Recalling the various complaints and long-winded foreshadowing and dialogues when he watched this movie before his rebirth, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Lionsgate is like a madman who is desperate for money and will not stop until the last drop of blood of the "Hunger Games" series is squeezed out.

In the end, an excellent masterpiece turned out to be a mess, which made the fans feel uncomfortable.

…

"Fei, "Thor 2: The Dark World" and "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" have officially started shooting. Remember to come and visit the set when you have time."

Kevin Feige's efficiency is really high!

It was just halfway through mid-June, and Marvel Studios started shooting two more movies.

The previous "Iron Man 3" has now reached the final stage of completion, and it is expected to be announced in July.

As the head of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige is undoubtedly a competent CEO.

"Ok, I'll go there when I have time."

Chen Fei responded and hung up the phone.

The Marvel superhero series has been completely revitalized, and it is countless times more powerful than DC. The gap between the two is like a Mariana Trench!

Not only Marvel Studios, but also Marvel Entertainment has continuous good news.

Less than a week after the third season of "Game of Thrones" and the second season of "Spartacus" were launched, the investment costs were all recovered, and the subsequent income was huge!

The second season of "Shameless" was also announced at this time. Although there was not much publicity, with the fans' running around to inform, it has already set off a lot of heat on the Internet.

Overall, Marvel has surpassed DreamWorks, Lucasfilm and other subsidiaries and has become the most profitable subsidiary of Walt Disney Pictures!

If nothing unexpected happens, this situation will continue.

2012 is already halfway through, and this also means that the box office competition is about to enter a real white-hot stage!

In just a few days, Chen Fei received no less than five invitations to the premiere.

"Brave", "Ted", "The Amazing Spider-Man"...

Looking around, many of them are big productions with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, and they are ready to reap the box office worldwide.

Not only abroad, but even domestic producers have mailed him invitations to the premiere.

"The Four", "Search", "The Secret Code of the Great Wudang", "1894: The Sino-Japanese War of 1894"...

There are not many Hollywood imported blockbusters in July, so everyone's attention is focused on domestic films.

Among them, the poet Chen has the highest level!

Perhaps he is still a little dissatisfied with Yang Mi, or perhaps he looks down on the works of other directors. Brother Chen Kai said bluntly when participating in a program:

"In the same period, I think "Search" has no rivals. After all, it is a movie with connotation and depth, which is not comparable to those martial arts action movies."

After this remark was sent out, it immediately triggered discussions in the circle.

For such a blatant ridicule, Wang Changtian will not be a turtle, after all, Guangguang and his brother Chen Kai are not in the same circle.

Moreover, the two had long been enemies because of Liu Yan.

Guangguang's counterattack came quickly:

"Before the release of "The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang", Director Chen also said that these were film themes with connotation and depth.

But as far as I know, these movies seem to have suffered extremely heavy losses, and it is even more distant to recover the cost!

So, I suggest Director Chen not to brag in advance, because you have no appeal in the field of commercial films..."

Guangguang's response was very sharp, and it can be said that it was directly aimed at Chen Kai's lungs!

The two sides were already competing with each other, and now they are arguing because of their remarks. Naturally, they are tit-for-tat, and no one is willing to give in.

In just two days, the atmosphere has become very tense.

Both sides are completely unwilling to give in!

Chen Kai even pulled out "Yang Mi" and used it as a weapon against Guangguang, as if the heroine you chose was kicked away by me, so your movies are all garbage.

"Haha, Director Chen is really interesting. Since you want to argue, let's have a good argument.

I heard that when Yang Mi joined the crew, your wife clearly stated that she could take other movies if there were no more roles. How come she couldn't do it after only two days of filming?

Is there any inside story here? Or is it that for the sake of the popularity of the movie, Director Chen has lost all face and started malicious publicity? "

There is no need to go into too much detail about how powerful the attack power of bees is.

Under the leadership of Wang Changtian, Yang Mi's fans directly attacked Chen Kaige's personal Weibo and the official blog of "Search".

Poet Chen was in the wrong on this matter, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment, and the two sides suddenly froze.

The "battle" has officially entered a white-hot stage. It is obvious that it will not be called a truce until the movie is released and the box office results are announced.

At this time, whichever movie has a low box office means that it has completely failed!

For a time, the publicity efforts of both parties reached a new level, and they were preparing to have a big fight in July!

While checking related news, Chen Fei also saw news about Huang Bo's new film conference.

This guy's career has blossomed since he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with "Bullfighting," which he directed and starred in. He has never stopped filming.

I just finished filming "101 Proposals" with Lin Chiling some time ago, and not long after that, I joined the cast again!

""The Cook, the Actor, the Ruffian"?"

After whispering the name, Chen Fei's eyes subconsciously fell on the cast.

Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Zhang Hanyu.

The three major movie stars are joining the cast, and the gimmick is quite good, but I don’t know how the finished film will turn out.

…

Wang Changtian's call came to Chen Fei without any surprise.

"Mr. Chen, on the 25th of this month, the premiere of "The Big Four" will be held. Please remember to come and attend."

"I……"

Just when Chen Fei was about to refuse, he heard Wang Changtian continue: "I agreed to reach a strategic cooperation with Youku. From now on, all the film and television works, variety shows, talk shows, evening parties, etc. under Guangguang will be authorized to Youku. Cooperate with 10% of the shares..."

Chen Fei couldn't say the words of rejection for a while.

Everyone has said so, and it would be rude if he refused again.

"Okay, I will be there on time."

It’s only three days, and you can still squeeze it out if you squeeze it in. It just happens to be the transition between the second and third stages on the 25th.

The director is gone, so the crew doesn't have to stop. They can bring Mr. Woody Allen over to shoot some less important scenes first...

In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei already had a plan.

~

The shooting of Xiangjiang movies is famously fast, and Wang Jing is one of the representatives.

Only five days have passed since the launch conference of "Big Shanghai", and the crew has already announced that 1/5 of the plot shooting has been completed.

It will only take a month at most for the film to be officially announced!

At this time, Chow Yun-fat, one of the leading actors, suddenly announced that he would join the filming of the new movie "Macau" produced by Yinghuang.

As soon as the announcement appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of Hong Kong media.

And Ying Huang seemed to have made an agreement in advance, and even announced the cast of "Macau Storm".

Chow Yun-fat, Nicholas Tse, Jing Tian, ​​Zhong Xintong...

The news soon spread throughout Xiangjiang and gradually began to spread to the mainland.

Although the script was provided by Chen Fei, he did not interfere with Ying Huang's decision regarding the selection of actors. He only needed to ensure that the buttocks of these actors were not crooked.

…

"It still didn't work. I went to Yinghuang several times, but I couldn't even see Director Yang. I was stopped by his secretary and assistant every time."

The manager said to Zhen Zizhen with a look of helplessness.

"One Man's Martial Arts" and "Macau Storm", these two movies have become the most popular projects in Hong Kong media.

After all, none of Chen Fei's scripts lose money.

It is no exaggeration to say that now almost half of the entire Hong Kong entertainment and film industry is supported by the three companies: Golden Harvest, Yinghuang, and Media Asia.

And these three companies are all partners of Chen Fei.

This also means that it may not be long before the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry becomes Chen Fei's back garden.

Donnie Yen suddenly realized that he was really terrible!

Why couldn't I think about it at first and chose the two brothers from the Xiang family?

Now, unfortunately, the filming of "Ip Man 3" has been canceled after it was scheduled to be filmed!

"You don't answer phone calls, you don't reply to emails, and you don't pay attention to people's messages. Is the "Ip Man" series completely over?"

The more Donnie Yen thought about it, the more unsure he became.

Although there is a role for him in "Big Shanghai", it can only be regarded as a face-off at best.

He originally wanted to win the role of "Inspector", but Hong Jingbao used a trick to snatch it away.

The other party is an old veteran in the Hong Kong circle. Regardless of his status and qualifications, even if he wants to compete, he can't compete at all.

His current state is very embarrassing.

Since the completion of "Special Identity", he has not received any new roles. Even though he has won many audition opportunities, he has been rejected many times.

He also went to the casting meeting for "Macau", but unfortunately Ying Huang didn't accept his resume at all and rejected him directly.

It has evolved to this day, and even his endorsements, brands, etc. are all reducing their fees.

The explanation given by the merchant was: "Due to the recent influence of online public opinion, your personal image has been greatly damaged, so we will re-evaluate your commercial endorsement value..."

What made him even more depressed was that several endorsements that should have belonged to him turned around and went to Zhao Wenzhuo!

This is very embarrassing.

"Ip Man 3" has been delayed in being released, and his franchise and celebrity status are declining, and it is still unknown whether the movie "Special Identity" will be successful...

Donnie Yen pondered for a long time, looked up at his manager, and said solemnly: "No matter what, we must promote the release of "Ip Man 3".

You should use your strength first. I will go see my godfather and my mother now and ask them to help us work together. It will definitely be effective! "

After saying that, he could no longer sit still. As he stood up and walked out, he found Yuan Heping's contact information.
