Chapter 874 Return to 90 Billion? Hit 100 Billion! ?
“It is reported that Feiyue Film and Television Animation Department is promoting two new animated film projects, mainly focusing on the two major themes of ‘Fengshen’ and ‘White Snake’, and has achieved remarkable results...”
“Ali’s big entertainment plan has taken another big step forward! According to Ali’s latest announcement, it has signed relevant contracts with South Korean idol trainee groups such as Girls’ Generation, EXO, and TVXQ.
The former will reach a cooperation agreement with the latter’s company to open up the mainland market for the latter, increase the latter’s business volume, and extract a certain share of profits from it...”
“The second season of Go Fighting has officially started the recording plan, and the first episode is expected to be officially launched in April this year. It is still the original team that has returned!”
“Reprinted from the Hollywood Daily, it is reported that the comedy, action, science fiction, and adventure film “Deadpool” jointly produced by 20th Century Fox and Marvel has been released in North America for a week, and the box office has exceeded 200 million US dollars, and the popularity has exploded!”
…
A new day has arrived, and there are many hot news on the Internet.
Feiyue Films is about to launch the latest animated film, Alibaba has signed cooperation contracts with major idol trainee companies in South Korea, and the second season of Extreme Challenge has started recording...
Looking around, all these news have attracted countless netizens to watch and discuss.
However, at this time, Chen Fei did not pay attention to these news, but was on the phone with Wang Changtian.
It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and he has received calls from the company and Youku.
And Wang Changtian's call came right after Su Guohai and Gu Yongqiang.
"You also received the news, right?"
"Yes, I received it. I didn't expect that at this juncture, Mr. Ye actually resigned!"
Chen Fei's expression was a little complicated, because he had just received news from Huo Qigang a few days ago, saying that there were personnel changes within Wanda Pictures.
But he really didn't expect that the executive who resigned was Ye Ning, who had been in charge of Wanda Pictures!
You know, Wanda is really in its heyday now, the company's benefits have been increasing, and the scope of business has been expanding...
In theory, this time is a good time to follow the boss to expand the territory and conquer all directions!
But Ye Ning's operation really made Chen Fei confused.
He hasn't enjoyed the credit of victory yet, but he actually escaped at the last minute. What's the situation?
Wang Changtian asked with some distress: "What should we do next? Wanda's people have come to Guangguang early in the morning. They expressed their hope to continue to establish a close alliance relationship, but who knows what the attitude of the new person in office is?"
Chen Fei also had a headache. After all, the change of partners will inevitably mean constant twists and turns.
But in comparison, he was still quite calm.
"At this point, we can only fight against the enemy and cover the water."
"Oh, it's really troublesome. I'm surprised. What is Ye Ning thinking? He didn't answer the phone call. Is he going to say goodbye to the film and television industry completely?"
Say goodbye to the film and television industry?
Hearing these six words, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Chen Fei's mind!
In a trance, he recalled a lot of news, as well as various news, struggles, and verbal battles...
"Impossible!" At this moment, his tone was very firm: "Director Wang, wait for a while. If I guess correctly, this person should make new moves in a very short time."
"Oh? What do you mean? Have you guessed something?" Wang Changtian's tone was very puzzled.
"I don't know if I guessed it right. Wait a little longer. It shouldn't take long for there to be a clue..."
...
Perhaps seeing the "prosperity" of the film market, more and more news about the start of filming began to emerge one by one.
In the next few days, Chen Fei could see the news of a film project being announced or started almost every other day.
"The ancient costume fantasy film "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia", which is controlled by LeTV Pictures, supervised by Director Xu Ke, produced by Shi Nansheng, directed by Yuan Heping, and starred by Dong Chengpeng, Ni Ni, Zhou Dongyu, Wu Bai, Liu Yan, etc., officially held its opening ceremony in Hengdian."
"Director Wu Yu revealed that his latest film project has found an investor, which will be jointly funded by China and Japan, and the rest of the information is kept confidential for the time being..."
"Guangguang announced the starring lineup of the new film project "Passing by Your World". Deng Chao is on the list and will appear as the male lead. The rest of the roles have not yet been announced."
"Golden Harvest Films announced that the latest film project has been confirmed. It will still be written by Director Chen Fei, and the subject matter will mainly focus on crime and action..."
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
At eight o'clock in the morning, accompanied by Wanda's "Notice to the Industry", the entire entertainment industry was completely blown up!
"Wanda's letter to the film and television industry:
Due to personal reasons, Wanda Group Director, Vice President Ye Ning, who is in charge of the three major businesses of the group, film, cinema, and distribution, formally submitted his resignation to the group headquarters a few days ago, and it has officially taken effect today!
From now on, Mr. Ye Ning will complete the separation from Wanda and will no longer hold any position within the company. I hope all companies and partners in the industry will be aware of this..."
The content of the notice is very detailed!
How detailed is it?
That is: even the news that Wanda and Ye Ning have a non-compete agreement has been revealed.
And what this means, from the perspective of the capital in the entire entertainment industry, it is simply clear.
Big Laowang is obviously sending a warning to the outside world. If anyone dares to take Wanda's idea, then feel free to give it a try!
But at the same time, many capital circles and large companies also smelled something else.
Wanda is at its peak now, and Ye Ning suddenly ran away. It is impossible to say goodbye to the film and television industry completely, right?
Let me ask, how could a middle-aged man who has been deeply involved in this industry for more than ten years and is still in his prime choose to change his career when the industry is booming?
From this, it can be analyzed that Ye Ning is either preparing to start a business, or he is tempted by other companies!
If you start your own business, that's fine. After all, such examples are not uncommon in the industry.
But if it was poached by another company, then things would be different.
Once the behavior of lifting the tiger's beard is implemented, the tiger will never give up and will definitely roar in the forest!
Perhaps because of the many previous collaborations with Ye Ning, after Wanda's announcement, many people chose to call Chen Fei to inquire about information from him.
Ren Zhonglun, in particular, asked Chen Fei enthusiastically if he could help persuade Ye Ning to join Shanghai Film Academy.
"The company is currently seeking to go public. What it lacks the most is high-end talents. Experienced talents like Ye Ning are the most suitable. Moreover, Shanghai Film Academy is a state-owned enterprise, so there is no need to worry about Wanda coming to trouble..."
Chen Fei was speechless when he heard this: "Mr. Ren, if you have any ideas, you'd better contact him yourself. I'm not interested in being a lobbyist and causing unnecessary trouble for myself."
After that, without waiting for Ren Zhonglun to explain, he hung up the phone with the excuse that he had to film a movie.
"Mr. Ren, with such a good thing, it's your turn to be a state-owned enterprise? What are you thinking in your head?"
While muttering, Chen Fei pressed the power button on his mobile phone and started to follow up on today's shooting plan.
The main filming today was the scene where the Dragon Team led by Zhang Yi rescued "Xia Nan" played by Zhou Xun, but they were ambushed on the way.
"It's another hearty scene!"
Chen Fei murmured to himself, and after making sure that the props and actors were in place, he shouted out the English word without hesitation:
"Action!"
The scorching sun was high, and the dust was flying over the barren desert due to the rolling wheels.
After successfully rescuing reporter Xia Nan, the Jiaolong team was quickly evacuating along a rugged mountain road.
In the car, the team members maintained a fighting posture and scanned the surrounding environment vigilantly, fearing that they would miss any slightest movement.
Suddenly, a rapid whistling sound broke through the tranquility of the desert, and mortar shells were seen coming from all directions one after another with fiery tail flames.
As a tank at the end of the convoy was blown up, the entire team immediately fell into chaos.
All team members chose to jump out of the car, instinctively looking for cover, and at the same time raised their guns to shoot at the enemy.
However, the enemy has obviously been ambushing in the dark, and the firepower is extremely fierce, making it difficult to resist!
For a moment, Team Jiaolong was in a passive position of being beaten.
Fortunately, captain Yang Rui remained calm in the face of danger, quickly observed the surrounding environment, and then gave decisive instructions:
"Shitou, defend the rear, Tong Li, attack from the flanks..."
Under his leadership, the players began to counterattack in an orderly manner.
They used terrain and bunkers to skillfully dodge enemy bullets while firing back at the enemy with precise shots.
For a time, the battlefield was filled with smoke and fire!
Every gunshot was accompanied by the splash of sparks and the sound of bullet shells falling, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.
In the footage, the faces of the team members are full of determination and bravery. They face the enemy's fire without fear and defend the dignity and honor of the country with their lives and blood!
As time went by, the battle seemed to become more intense.
The enemy didn't seem to intend to let go of the Jiaolong squad easily. They constantly adjusted the angle and firepower of their attacks, trying to kill them all in one fell swoop.
However, the Jiaolong team relied on their excellent combat qualities and tacit cooperation to save the day from danger time and time again.
Zhang Yi's roars could be heard from time to time in the studio: "Lu Chen, locate the enemy's position for me...Xu Hong, go and bring everyone out...Zhuang Yu, see what other equipment can be used... "
As time passed by, the enemy's mortars continued to bomb, trying to suppress the Jiaolong team's counterattack.
However, under the wise command of captain Yang Rui and the joint efforts of all the team members, the members of the Dragon Team braved the heavy artillery fire and used the help of drones and rocket launchers to break out of the dead end and began to form a favorable counterattack.
Behind the monitor, Chen Fei's eyes were fixed on the screen without blinking, paying attention to the situation on the set.
"Yang Rui" played by Zhang Yi is interfering with the enemy's mortar camp, "Gu Shun" played by Huang Jingyu is confronting enemy snipers, and "Xu Hong" played by Huang Xiaoming is dismantling bombs...
The shooting of the three main scenes all required him to make adjustments by himself, and he also needed to make reasonable arrangements to ensure that there were no problems... This fully demonstrated his top-notch director level.
On the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly!
In just a few minutes, after successfully occupying a high position, "Gu Shun" played by Huang Jingyu successfully wiped out the enemy's mortar camp and smashed one of the enemy's sniper's ears.
The army was defeated like a mountain. Seeing that something was wrong, the enemy immediately chose to evacuate the scene and fled into the distance.
What followed was on-site rescue.
"Xia Nan", played by Zhou Xun, appears from the hiding spot to help with the rescue.
Under the car, "Xu Hong" played by Huang Xiaoming was still struggling to defuse another bomb, hoping to rescue the injured at the scene.
But at this moment, Yang Rui, who stepped onto the bus to observe the situation, discovered that there was a bomb at the rear of the bus, and it was about to explode!
He panicked instantly.
"Go! Run! The bomb in the car is going to explode!"
Injured, he staggered out of the car and assisted everyone who was conducting rescue operations near the bus to rush to the hidden spot at the bottom of the slope.
Just as the group of people who were still able to move rushed down the slope, the bomb at the rear of the car exploded!
"Boom!!!"
With a loud noise, in an instant, the entire filming location was directly enveloped in dazzling firelight. The bus, which had been bombed once, was torn to pieces like a sponge, and various parts were scattered all over the sky. fly……
Behind the monitor, Chen Fei quickly raised the loudspeaker and shouted to the scene: "The shooting is over! The prop team immediately went to check on the actors. Be careful not to damage the explosion scene..."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten people who had been prepared rushed forward and began to check the situation to ensure that nothing happened to the actors.
Among all commercial films, explosion scenes are actually the most difficult to shoot.
It's okay if the props are blown up, and you'll have to spend money to buy new ones. But if there's something wrong with the actors, it's going to be big trouble.
To put it bluntly, even if there is insurance, the crew will not suffer huge losses, but who would want a living person to be harmed?
At the same time, while the crew of "Operation Red Sea" was busy filming, the Huayi Group Building welcomed a "distinguished guest".
"Mr. Ye, haha, welcome to join our big family of Huayi. This afternoon I will take you to familiarize yourself with the basic framework of our Huayi. After the group has made adjustments, you can officially take up the post."
Looking at Wang Zhonglei with a smile on his face, Ye Ning couldn't help but smile.
He joked: "It just so happens that I haven't taken enough annual leave yet. It seems I can take a few more days off."
"Hahaha." Wang Zhonglei smiled as he took out a membership card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Ning: "If Mr. Ye is tired or exhausted, you can go to my club and play for free. "
"Hey? Is there such a benefit?"
Ye Ning was not polite and took the membership card directly.
It doesn’t matter whether you go or not, but your future boss’s good intentions must be accepted, otherwise how can they trust you?
"Of course, our company has a lot of benefits. You will know when Mr. Ye starts working..."
The two people were chatting here. Behind the desk on the other side, Wang Zhongjun handed an equity transfer contract to Ye Ning and asked, "By the way, Mr. Ye, those middle-level backbones you mentioned..."
Ye Ning took over the equity transfer contract and after signing his name, he said, "It's only been a few days. After I officially start work, they will come over one after another."
"Haha, okay, okay! I will definitely give a big banquet when the time comes to welcome you!"
Wang Zhongjun couldn't hide his joy at this meeting.
Not only did they recruit Ye Ning, they also brought in a large number of experienced backbones...
With the support of this group of people, why should Huayi not be happy?
It is extremely possible for the market value to return to 90 billion, or even exceed 100 billion!
…
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
There were no surprises in Chen Fei's previous predictions. The two love-themed movies that were trying to grab the bottom during the Spring Festival "died" very quickly.
"The romantic and suspense-themed movie "Running for Love", produced by Huayi, directed by Zhang Yibai and Guan Rui, and starring Zhang Ziyi, Peng Yuyan, and Zhou Dongyu, has been completely removed from theaters due to exhaustion of its box office potential. It was released for 10 days. The total box office revenue was 47.409 million.”
"The movie "Murder in Time", co-produced by Wanda, Emperor, and Gutian Media, starring Yang Ying, Ruan Jingtian, and Zhang Chao, has been completely withdrawn from theaters due to exhaustion of box office potential, with a total box office revenue of 13.45 million ”
After the relevant news reports came out, there was not even much discussion on the Internet, which shows how unpopular these two movies are.
There are still a few days until March officially arrives, but judging from the film schedule announced by China Film Group, there should be no high-quality domestic or imported movies in the next few days.
On the other hand, there will be an imported movie "Zootopia" from Disney on March 4th, which will put pressure on many domestic movies in the same period.
But it was just an animated movie after all, and its impact was relatively small.
Moreover, March is an unpopular month, and there are very few large-scale domestic films scheduled for this time period.
If nothing else, this should be another month of rampant Hollywood imported blockbusters.
…
After the filming of Another New Day ended, the awards news for the 66th Berlin International Film Festival appeared on Weibo.
Chen Fei took a look, and then he was a little surprised to find that Chinese photographer Li Pingbin actually won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution (Photography) for "Yangtze River Pictures"!
Although this is only a photography award, it is the only award that Chinese people have won at the Berlin International Film Festival this year, which can be regarded as winning glory for the country.
Jiang Wen was even more excited to send a Weibo to congratulate his good partner on winning the award.
You know, when he was shooting the movie "The Sun Also Rises", he invited Li Pingbin to be the photographer.
Now that the other party has won the award, it is undoubtedly a very encouraging act.
In the Weibo, Jiang Wen even revealed an inside story.
His new movie, the third movie in the "Beiyang Trilogy", is about to enter the project establishment and casting stage. At that time, he will continue to invite Li Pingbin to be the photographer of his new movie!
