It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

"How much was the box office of Avengers 4 yesterday?"

"Boss, the box office of the Chinese cinema market is 340 million RMB, and the box office of the North American cinema market yesterday was 25.25 million US dollars..."

The secretary's reports kept ringing in the office, which made Jeff Jones stunned.

It's already been seven days since Avengers 4 was released, and it still has such a box office performance? Isn't it too exaggerated?

"What about 'Shazam!'?" Jeff Jones started paying attention to the movies produced by his own company again.

The secretary replied, "As of yesterday, the total North American box office of Shazam! was 73.52 million U.S. dollars, and yesterday's single-day box office was 520,000 U.S. dollars.

The cumulative box office of the Huaxia cinema market is 277 million RMB. Currently, the Huaxia market has withdrawn the film due to exhaustion of its box office potential.”

“…”

Speechless!

A deep silence filled Jeff Jones' heart, making him feel terrible.

Originally, DC wanted to compete with "Captain Marvel" with "Shazam!", but was severely ridiculed by the other party.

Now it collides with "Avengers 4", and it is completely destroyed!

Where can I find justice right now? !

"I need to compile the financial statements. I have to report to Warner headquarters. Next, I will prepare to follow up on the promotion and marketing of "Joker" and withdraw all the investment in the promotion and marketing of "Shazam!"..."

After the order was given, Jeff Jones leaned weakly on his seat, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the pressure that Hamada had experienced when he was in office.

I was exhausted just by facing "Captain Marvel" and "Avengers 4".

But what about Hamada?

He is facing Marvel, which has been on a rapid rise since its rise in 2008. The pressure is coming one after another like a mountain!

…

After a night, it was May 4th.

The 72nd Cannes International Film Festival is about to kick off, and many crews nominated are already preparing to set off.

At this time, the 9th Yanjing International Film Festival officially came to an end.

"Director Chen, I also won the Best Visual Effects Award, hahahahaha!"

Guo Fan called Chen Fei happily to show off the trophy he won.

As a "maverick" science fiction director, winning awards has never been his advantage.

So Guo Fan is quite happy to win the Best Visual Effects Award this time.

Oscar, Berlin Golden Bear, Cannes Golden Palm, Venice Golden Lion, Saturn Award, Golden Globe Award, Golden Goblet Award, Best Foreign Language Film Award, Annette Award for Best Animated Feature Film...

The densely packed, golden trophies placed there look extremely dazzling!

In this life, I have accomplished a lot in striving for various awards.

As for commercial films...the personal director's box office data of 20 billion US dollars is already the best in the world.

"Okay, I'm not going to chat with you any more. I have to catch a plane."

After hanging up the phone and shutting down the computer, Fade Chen stood up and walked out the door.

Before I knew it, a month had passed.

The promotion of "Avengers 4" has officially come to an end.

So the next task, obviously, is to return to the crew of "Where the Wind Is" to complete the final stage of filming.

As for the celebration party for "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", we will naturally have to hold a grand event once the Jiaozi team finishes the work at hand!

With a box office of 5.2 billion, it ranks No.2 in the history of Chinese-language films...

This achievement is undoubtedly worth celebrating!

At the same time, just as Chen Fei set out to the crew of "Where the Wind Goes", on the other side, a certain unlucky guy continued to have bad luck.

"What? We've been beaten back again? Even Alibaba Pictures' intervention is useless?"

Zeng Xixiang almost went crazy when he saw the finished film "Better Days" that was rejected by the censors!

This is the fourth time!

This is the fourth time!

You know, the movie is scheduled to be released on June 27, so there is only one month left.

But up to now, the finished film has not yet been reviewed, the theater schedule has not been determined, and the distribution company's copying work cannot proceed smoothly.

How to do this?

Is it really going to be withdrawn?

"Oh!" Seeing Zeng Xixiang on the verge of collapse, Chen Kexin was also very depressed.

In fact, he was a little confused. What was the purpose of the above review?

There are many films with much greater explicitness than this one, but they were all able to pass the review. In contrast, "Better Days" was rejected again and again. Isn't this intentional troublemaking?

He was also filled with anger at the moment, but had no place to vent.

It's impossible to cause trouble at the General Administration, right? Isn't that courting death?

"Wait a minute, I'll call Ali and ask."

Chen Kexin frowned and walked aside. After thinking for a moment, she chose to call Fan Luyuan.

"Mr. Fan, I have something to tell you, it's about that movie 'Better Days'..."

"What? It was rejected by the review again?"

Fan Luyuan was also a little confused at this moment. What was going on? Could it be that this movie violated the law of heaven?

"Yes, it was rejected again. We have tried our best to revise it according to the reviewer's suggestions. Except for some plots that really cannot be changed, we have changed everything else, but it still won't pass."

Hearing this, Fan Luyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

School violence is indeed a red line that many people in the country try to avoid.

The behavior of "Better Days" that crosses the red line is undoubtedly very dangerous, and it may be regarded as a "typical" example and attacked.

But if this movie can be released, the box office and word of mouth will definitely not be bad.

With Yi Yang Qianxi + Zhou Dongyu, plus the advantage of the subject matter, this movie will definitely have great potential!

As a co-producer, Alibaba Pictures and Tao Piao Piao as the distributor, they will certainly gain a lot of benefits from it...

Thinking of this, he simply said, "How about this, you guys wait for a few days, I'll come and find out the news myself and see what the higher-ups mean first, otherwise it won't be a good idea to keep changing it like this."

"Okay, Mr. Fan, thank you for your help."

Chen Kexin hung up the phone with many thanks, then returned to relay the story to Zeng Xixiang.

The latter frowned and said, "So, publicity and marketing cannot be carried out yet?"

"Let's wait a little longer. Investing too early will probably end up in vain. If the schedule really needs to be changed, then won't everything we do now be in vain?"

"Alas!" Zeng Guoxiang sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, then I will arrange someone to notify the actors first."

So half an hour later, Yi Yang Qianxi's agent Fat Tiger, who was sitting outside the audition, received a notice from the crew of "Better Days".

After reading the notification, he turned off his phone and began to notify the studio to change the subsequent schedule of his artists.

Since I don’t need to participate in the film promotion, the next step is naturally to arrange new work.

Just at this moment, the door of the audition room suddenly opened from the inside.

Fat Tiger subconsciously raised his head and saw his own artist Yi Yang Qianxi and that Mou Girl Liu Haoqi walking out one after another.

"Qianxi? How was it? Did you try it?"

"Yeah." Yi Yang Qianxi smiled at him slightly, then turned to look at Liu Haoqi.

The latter smiled at him with a sweet smile, which actually made him want to fall in love!

But the next second, he forced this thought down.

Popular stars are in love?

That's simply burying your own future!

Just look at Lu Han’s current situation and you will know. Ever since his official announcement with Guan Xiaotong, his traffic has been falling again and again, and various high-quality resources have gradually left him.

This situation undoubtedly served as a negative example for others.

"Then I wish us a pleasant future cooperation." Just as Yi Yang Qianxi was stunned, Liu Haoqi suddenly extended his hand to him.

"Oh, oh! Okay, happy cooperation!"

After realizing it belatedly, Yi Yang Qianxi quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with her.

"Bye~"

"Well, bye."

Turning around, Liu Hao jumped and left the scene happily.

It was not until that pretty figure disappeared around the corner that Yi Yang Qianxi reacted and looked at his agent.

"Hey? What's up? Are you in love, young man?" Fat Tiger teased with a smile.

"You are the one who is in love."

After retorting, Yi Yang Qianxi quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "The audition was successful. The filming will start around the end of the year. You have to help me arrange the schedule."

"Yes, I know."

Fat Tiger responded and recounted the situation on "Better Days".

“Maybe you need to change the schedule?”

"I guess so. I heard that the finished film has not yet been approved."

"That's troublesome..."

"What's the problem? You're just an actor. The film company will handle all the messy issues. You just need to cooperate with their publicity work..."

As Fat Tiger was speaking, he was suddenly startled!

After a while, when the two of them got on the elevator, he said in surprise: "Good boy, your first starring movie is with Mou girl Zhou Dongyu, and your second movie is with Mou girl Liu Haoqi, you can do it!"

"hehe."

Yi Yang Qianxi raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat proud.

Although he is not the most popular member of the TF boys group, his appearance does not have much advantage over the other two.

But when it comes to film and television resources, he can definitely beat those two!

Being handsome is important, but if you want to stand out in this circle and get a high position, connections and resources are the most important.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

On May 5, Chen Fei officially returned to the crew of "Go Where the Wind Is".

However, he did not immediately participate in the filming, but spent a whole day checking the shots taken by Wen Muye.

And the final result is, of course, everyone is happy!

"Not bad, very good, the results are no worse than mine..."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after watching the last scene, Chen Fei nodded with great satisfaction and gave high praise and encouragement to Wen Muye's efforts in the past month.

"Director Chen, you are joking. How can I compare with you? As long as there are no major mistakes, I will be thankful."

In recent days, the term "Hollywood myth" is very popular not only abroad, but also in China!

The fact that it has been described as a "Hollywood legend" by so many media and major weekly magazines, and no one has refuted it, has already proved how strong Chen Fei's directing skills are!

In Wen Muye’s mind, if “Go Where the Wind Is” is regarded as a “fly”, then his ability is the fly swatter.

On the other hand, Chen Fei is definitely at the anti-aircraft gun level!

If it wasn't for the cooperation with Liu Yifei, Wen Muye couldn't imagine which TV series could invite Chen Fei to be the leading actor and director?

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Chen Fei stood up and patted Wen Muye on the shoulder: "All subsequent filming work will be handed over to you, including me.

From now on, I will only be the male lead, and I will be under your command. How about that? Are you confident that you can complete the task?"

Faced with this situation, even if you don't have much confidence, you have to fight hard!

The leader has such trust in me. If I can complete the work successfully, I will definitely receive various welfare benefits in the future.

Thinking of this, Wen Muye immediately nodded and said, "Director Chen, don't worry, I can definitely complete the task successfully!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

After leaving the temporary film inspection room, Fade Chen returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and others sitting in front of the TV, watching the pictures playing on it with great interest.

"What? Is there a new drama released?" he asked curiously.

"Yes!" Tang Yan, who came to participate in the guest appearance, turned around and smiled at him, pointing at the TV screen and said, "Yang Mi and Huo Jianhua's new drama, 'Dream Building Love'."

Hearing these two names, Fade Chen immediately became interested and approached them curiously.

He had seen the promotional draft of this drama on the Internet some time ago.

It seems to be a love inspirational drama set in the 1920s, telling the story of two architects in the Republic of China who stick to their craftsmanship amid numerous difficulties and doubts, achieve achievements in the fields of architectural construction and design, and promote innovation and development in China's construction industry.

Strictly speaking, it can also be classified as a mainstream TV series.

Chen Fei watched it with everyone for more than half an hour, and unexpectedly found that it seemed quite good.

Of course, the three words "pretty good" only include the sense of atmosphere.

As for other aspects such as dubbing, styling, color grading, acting, scene arrangement, etc., they are full of flaws.

Overall, this drama should be very popular with female audiences. After all, the plot is very similar to that of a Mary Sue idol drama.

As for other advantages, they are almost non-existent.

Especially Yang Mi's acting skills, which have deteriorated drastically, and the little spiritual energy she had has now completely dissipated...

Comparing "Negotiator", "Legend of Fuyao" and the current "Dream of Splendor", it is clear that she has been on a downward slope.

However, the development in variety shows is quite good.

"Escape the Room Season 1" is currently being aired on Mango TV and is very popular.

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Chen Fei stood up, took out his phone, took a look at it, walked into the bedroom, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Chen, there is something I need to inform you of." Su Guohai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Well, I attended a meeting this morning and received some instructions."

instruct?

Chen Fei subconsciously thought it was about "animated films" and "the Belt and Road Initiative".

But the next second, Su Guohai's words made him startled!

"The top leaders have clearly stated that they want to strengthen the voice of domestic professional awards such as the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao, Magnolia, and Feitian in the field of film and television culture.

The purpose is to improve their status, expand their influence, and let the light of these awards radiate to the whole society, so as to gather the strength of the Chinese film and television industry and cope with the impact of external film and television culture..."

Hearing this, Fade Chen frowned and pondered secretly in his heart.

If this is the case, then in the next few years, the status of awards such as Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao will definitely increase significantly!

And it's not just the status of the award. I'm afraid the voice of the major associations in the industry will also rise, and their power will continue to expand...

Thinking of this, he had already come to a conclusion in his mind.

"Haha, it seems that the right to speak, the right to allocate resources, and the influence of those awards, association leaders, and participants will gradually increase and expand?"

"Yes." Su Guohai responded, and then continued, "Starting from this morning, the registration channel for the 32nd China Film Golden Rooster Awards has officially opened.

As of now, the number of films that have registered has reached 200. At the same time, according to predictions from professional data statistics agencies in the industry, the number of films registered for the Golden Rooster Awards this year may exceed 300!

Everyone is responding to the call..."

Having said this, Su Guohai suddenly paused and did not continue.

But Chen Fei knew what he wanted to say.

"So you called me to ask me whether Feiyue Films needs to respond to the call, right?"

"Yes."

"Did someone say something in front of you?"

"Yeah." Su Guohai said bluntly: "Many people have advised me, openly or secretly, that Feiyue Films should move closer to the association and work hand in hand with Golden Rooster, instead of going its own way."

“Hahahahahaha.”

Chen Fei suddenly laughed.

Looking back at the previous Golden Rooster Awards ceremonies, there was not a single work related to Feiyue Films participating.

None of last year's "The Accidental Detective," "Nobody," and "Time Raiders," the year before last's "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Dying to Survive," and this year's "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" and "Crazy Alien" appeared on the Golden Rooster Award nomination list.

For the Golden Rooster, this undoubtedly means that there will always be a corner missing and it can never be perfect.

It is undoubtedly very embarrassing for the association members and organizers that a movie that won the Palme d'Or abroad ignored the Golden Rooster Award after returning home.

That is why such a meeting suddenly appeared this year.

Rather than being an instruction from above, it is more like the result of complaints and joint protests from major associations and award organizers.

Thinking of this, Fade Chen couldn't help laughing: "Tsk tsk, these people are really persistent!"

"Mr. Chen, then we..."

"Just like before, just ignore them."

"Ah!" Su Guohai was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked back: "Ignore them? How can we explain to the higher-ups? If this puts a big hat on us..."

"It's very simple, why don't we just create an award ourselves?"

"Ah?" Su Guohai was completely stunned.

Chen Fei laughed: "The document has been issued. The Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival, which is endorsed by the Central Propaganda Department, is being prepared. Jia Zhangke is currently planning the details. Wait, you will know in June."

Su Guohai: “???”

Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival?

What is this?
