Chapter 587: Stand up and Kick? The Selection of the Four Young Actresses Is Like a Dance of Exorcism. Has "The Crossing" Set Sail?

After reviewing the completed films of "Iron Man 3", as well as some of the completed films of "Thor: The Dark World" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", Chen Fei went straight to Fleury's Red Bull Studio. go.

It happened that there were no movie shooting plans recently, and the deadline for completing the new task was only half a year, so he simply decided to complete the system task first.

Without bringing any food or daily necessities, go to the Antarctic glacier and survive for a week.

The task was not easy. He had to say hello to Red Bull first and arrange all the logistics.

…

At the same time, as time comes to February, the two movies "Interstellar" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" have reached their official release dates.

The current global box office of the former has reached 1.45 billion US dollars, and North America alone has earned 550 million US dollars.

And this is under the premise that it has not yet been released in China.

After various adjustments by China Film, "Interstellar" has been scheduled to be released on March 1 in China, and will compete with many Hollywood movies such as "Resident Evil 5".

As for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City", due to its nomination for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the box office experienced another wave of decline in the last few days.

Until now, the total domestic box office has reached 1.54 billion yuan, and in North America it has stabilized at 250 million US dollars.

However, distribution in other countries continues and is not yet over.

If it can win the next Oscar, it will probably have a big improvement in the global box office.

At the same time, movies that were released in December, such as "Big Shanghai", "Blood Drops", and "Life of Pi", have also been gradually withdrawn in China.

"Big Shanghai", which pitted two "Xu Wenqiang" against each other, only received 140 million at the box office.

As for "Blood Drop" starring Ruan Jingtian and Huang Xiaoming, it didn't even make any waves, and finally settled down with a box office of 71.85 million.

On the other hand, "Pi" is not bad. Under the influence of films such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Wolf Warrior", and "The Grandmaster", it still soared to 503 million.

Generally speaking, Hollywood movies are still in a state of killing Chinese-language movies, and there are very few that can really hold up.

As for the movies in January, "Wolf Warrior" is by far the most popular!

After a month of screening, this film about modern warfare and the King of Soldiers actually earned a box office of 636 million yuan!

Wang Shiliang, who had just changed his career as a film director under Feiyue Films, suddenly became a director in the 600 million box office club, and Wu Jing once again became the leading actor in a best-selling movie after "Pacific Rim", directly entering the domestic market. The ranks of A-list male stars.

There are endless voices of envy in the industry. This dream-like scene can only appear in Feiyue Film and Television.

While participating in the celebration banquet, several of the film's main creators were asked about the sequel during interviews.

Wu Jing didn't know about it yet, so he said vaguely: "Currently, Director Chen has not informed me about the sequel work. If there is, I will definitely be free of schedule."

Wang Shiliang knew better. After recalling what Chen Fei said to him, he simply revealed: "There is indeed a sequel plan, but it has not yet been decided when it will be released, because Director Chen is quite busy and the script Currently under creation..."

After the interview ended, the news spread immediately, causing a heated discussion in the circle.

This was naturally instructed by Chen Fei, in order to warm up "Wolf Warrior 2".

Although the sequel may be released several years later, giving fans some fantasy and expectations is also a conventional method to win over fans.

Just like "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage 2" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", these are the best examples.

…

"Without any daily necessities and food? Survive for a week on the Antarctic glacier?"

In the Red Bull studio, listening to Chen Fei's remarks, which were like a fantasy, Flory felt a headache.

This is really a living dad!

I went skydiving in space before, and now I have to run to Antarctica again, and do some extreme survival!

Just thinking about it made him feel a headache.

Where is Antarctica?

It is a place with the fewest living creatures in the entire world and can be classified as an uninhabited place!

Except for penguins, which are particularly cold-tolerant and whose main food source is fish in the sea, there are basically no other types of creatures in Antarctica.

What's more, the highest temperature in Antarctica is below zero, and the average temperature all year round is more than ten degrees below zero!

If you want to survive in this kind of environment, without the protection of thick cold-proof clothing, relying on your personal physical fitness, even if Chen Fei is really strong, how long can he carry it?

Chen Fei didn't pay attention to Flory's expression at all, and said to himself: "Besides myself, I will bring someone else there."

"who?"

"Leonardo DiCaprio."

"What the fuck???" Flory swore directly: "If it were you, you should be able to hold on in the early stage, but he... can he bear it?"

"You prepare a set of cold-proof clothing for him. I'll take him to try it out first, and then put it on him when he really can't bear it anymore."

"All right."

Flory responded, inexplicably feeling sorry for Little Plum.

The Jack, who was loved by thousands of girls, was kicked up by Chen Fei!

…

After arranging the next work, Chen Fei left the Red Bull studio.

When he went out, there happened to be a movie theater nearby. He thought about it and went in and bought a ticket for the movie "Zero Dark Thirty".

I heard that the film used real water torture, beatings, insults and other means for the filming effect.

He was still quite curious about how "excellent" Jessica Chastain's acting skills were in the film?

After 157 minutes, Chen Fei left the theater and couldn't help but sighed inwardly: "What's the difference between this and an 18-rated movie?"

From this, it can be inferred that the film rating system will never appear in the domestic market.

If it is completely released, it will inevitably open a Pandora's box!

After checking the progress of the second season of "Shameless" at Marvel Entertainment, the work in New York came to a temporary end.

Chen Fei did not stay here for long. After a night of friendly competition with Gal Gadot, he flew back to Los Angeles.

Just after returning to the company, before he sat down to drink a sip of water, the office door was suddenly knocked.

"Come in!"

Chen Fei shouted, his eyes subconsciously looking outside the door.

The next second, the door was pushed open, and Michael Mann's face appeared behind the door.

"Fei, I came to you to get investment."

Chen Fei smiled: "Have you thoroughly understood the script of "Nomadland"?"

"Yes." Michael Mann nodded: "Once the funds are in place, I will start casting and strive to make the film before June, just in time for the selection of various Oscars' outpost awards."

"Ok."

Chen Fei nodded, picked up the phone, and called the head of the production department directly.

Walton Pictures is actually very similar to a car manufacturer, except that the latter makes cars and the former makes movies.

The filming process in Hollywood has almost been standardized. There will be various departments in the company to cooperate, just like a set of precise assembly lines, and it is easy to make a movie.

As for the director, before he became a first-line superstar, he was actually not much different from a monkey wrench.

After arranging the relevant matters, Chen Fei didn't care about it anymore. The production department would assist Michael Mann to complete the preparations as quickly as possible.

Then, he set his sights on China.

As the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival approaches, many domestic crews have set off for Germany, intending to shine at the film festival!

The crews of "Hidden in the Dust" and "The Murderer" are naturally among them.

As the screenwriter and producer of the film, Chen Fei certainly couldn't be absent.

However, he didn't plan to go so early.

The Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony will be on February 17th. If you go too early, there will be nothing to do. It's better to stay in Los Angeles to draw storyboards.

He has already thought about which movie he will shoot next, and he has already started the preliminary preparations.

In addition to the news about the Berlin Film Festival, Chen Fei also noticed that the selection of the new four young actresses has begun.

After four years, except for Huang Shengyi, the other three of the last four young actresses are doing quite well.

And this year's selection also focuses on the hottest new generation of female stars in the current entertainment industry.

In order to be selected, many people have begun to work hard.

So far, the recognized first person is Shu Chang. A movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" directly pushed her into the ranks of the hottest first-line female stars in the circle.

The second is Jing Tian, ​​a well-known resource in the circle. Last year, she became a big hit with "Pacific Rim". She has countless resources, so it is not surprising that she got a preliminary spot.

As for the third candidate, Huayi seems to want to push Bai Baihe under its banner.

And Yang Ying is obviously also very interested in this spot, and recently started to hype it up online.

The rest of Liu Shishi, Ni Ni and others were also very excited, and seemed to be ready to win this quota.

Unlike the previous session when Liu Yifei was selected, CCTV joined in, and hundreds of mainstream media jointly selected.

This session felt like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Many companies are spending money and brushing public opinion, trying to force people to rise, and the main focus is on secret operations.

Chen Fei probably watched for a while, and soon lost interest.

These people's public opinion brushing is really too exaggerated. For the sake of popularity, they even do not hesitate to shit in public. The more you watch, the more you feel uncomfortable.

Especially Yang Ying, who actually pulled out Huang Xiaoming's ex-girlfriend, made the other party a mistress, and became the righteous party.

There are actually many fans supporting her online, which feels like a brainless fan.

Unconsciously, Chen Fei inexplicably had a familiar feeling.

"Why are these people comparing the bad?"

He secretly complained and turned all his attention to the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"

The film will be released in less than a week, and all kinds of publicity are being done, and it seems that it is going to sweep the Spring Festival period.

Even though Stephen Chow is no longer the lead actor, his fans and box office appeal are still very strong.

Yesterday, he and Ma Yun held a media symposium in the capital!

However, the content revealed at the symposium made many people secretly give Zhou Xingchi a thumbs up.

In the face of capital, he did not show his previous low emotional intelligence, but said a famous saying: "I think "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is a perfect work, and the only regret is that Mr. Ma did not play the Monkey King."

Ma Yun's reply was also very interesting: "Zhou Xingchi asked me to play the Monkey King, but I didn't agree. In fact, it was because my schedule was too full and the salary was too high. However, I agreed with his idea of ​​inviting me, because I positioned myself as the Monkey King and dared to fight in any industry..."

This is very interesting.

Maybe in the eyes of the outside world, this is just a manifestation of self-confidence and arrogance.

But for people in the industry like Chen Fei, this clearly means Alibaba's determination to enter the film and television industry!

This person is indeed unyielding. After struggling for a long time at Youku and failing to get a piece of meat, he ran to iQiyi.

He even spread the word in the circle that he intended to acquire a number of film and television companies including Orange Sky, Feiyue Film and Television, and Bona, and wanted to redefine the film and television industry.

According to Su Guohai's report, Alibaba even specially formed a team to participate in investment in the film and television industry in order to gain the right to speak.

Feiyue Film and Television is also one of their targets.

Unfortunately, Chen Fei is not short of money, and he chose to reject all investments from Alibaba, even if the other party shouted the slogan that he could make any price.

"Industry Paraquat" is not a false reputation, and he does not want to bring this wolf into the house.

As for other film and television companies, what does it have to do with him?

…

As "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is about to be released, "The Grandmaster", which has been on the screen for a month, has finally ushered in the time for the film to be released.

On February 9, the film company officially announced the total box office results of the film.

The data of 289 million directly broke the box office record of all Wang Changwei's previous films.

It is a pity that the box office finally failed to break through 300 million, and even the documents for postponement of the release were ruthlessly sent back by the Film Bureau.

Although the box office data is a bit regrettable, Zhang Ziyi doesn't care about that.

Recently, with the popularity of Oscar and "The Grandmaster", she has been very active online and frequently appeared in the news pages of major media.

However, this kind of show-off behavior has both advantages and disadvantages.

Being too arrogant will always be targeted.

The public opinion on the Internet gradually evolved from the previous praise to the later ridicule and ridicule.

"Isn't it just a movie with a good theme? What's there to brag about? Isn't the acting so bad?"

The attack of the water army even continued to the movie.

"What's "The Grandmaster"? In my opinion, it's better to call it "The Legend of Gong Er."

"Tony Leung, can you tolerate it? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not tolerate it."

"A successful movie is nothing, what about the next one? Do you think there will be a role like Gong Er for you?"

The controversy about Zhang Ziyi on the Internet swarmed in, and a tit-for-tat exchange of words kicked off again, which was so lively!

At the same time, the year-end summary report of the Film Bureau was also announced.

The three movies that broke the 1 billion box office, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", "Your Name", and "Journey to the West: Hero is Back", became the top three in the Chinese-language movie box office list this year.

As for "Pacific Rim", it is not included in the list because it is essentially a co-production.

For a time, Feiyue Film and Television was once again pushed to the top of the film and television industry, riding far ahead of others, enjoying the envy and jealousy from other film and television companies.

Looking around, so far, only Feiyue Film and Television has made a movie that broke the 1 billion box office.

Others such as Huayi and Bona, although they boast loudly, have no ability at all. They can't even break the 700 million box office, let alone break the 1 billion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Guohai announced a recruitment plan: "We welcome capable management, post-production, and producers to make progress together with Feiyue Film and Television."

For a time, several well-known production companies in the circle suddenly became nervous, fearing that the backbone of the company would be "seduced" away.

…

On the day when Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons was released, Chen Fei saw a lot of news that netizens talked about with great relish.

The film Better and Better Village Evening, co-produced by Bayi Film Studio and China Film Group, unexpectedly joined the team temporarily and landed on the Spring Festival.

That afternoon, Yang Mi expressed her interest in the new "Four Little Flowers" selection when she participated in a promotional event with other main creative members of the Seattle Love Crew.

At the same time, Tangren announced a new TV series plan, saying that it would independently invest in the production of the sister film of Startling by Each Step, Startling by Each Step, with the original cast.

The next day, perhaps to raise the company's reputation, Huayi announced another piece of news.

"Jointly produced by China Film Group, Huayi, Xiaoma Pentium, and LeTV, with Wu Yu as the chief director, the epic blockbuster "The Crossing", known as the "Titanic" of the East, has officially begun preparations.

In terms of actor selection, an invitation-based audition will be held, and Zhang Ziyi is currently the only actor selected."

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately triggered a heated discussion in the circle.

At this time last year, "The Crossing" started its preparation plan. Now, after a full year, it is finally going to start construction.

Zhang Ziyi reacted very quickly, and immediately responded: "Thank you very much for Director Wu Yu's trust. I will join the crew within the specified time, strictly cooperate with the crew's regulations and requirements, and jointly add a piece to the voyage of "The Taiping Wheel" My support..."

These words were very beautifully said, and received likes and comments from Wu Yu, as well as friendly support from many producers.

However, Chen Fei felt like laughing.

"An Oriental version of "Titanic"? I want to see how fast and how far this ship can run?"
