Chapter 857: Leaning Against a Big Tree but Unable to Enjoy the Shade? Will "Legend of the Gods" Become the "Gods Universe"?

In a blink of an eye, there are less than 3 days left until the end of 2015.

On the morning of a new day, Chen Fei got up early and went straight to the company.

He had to pay attention to the preparations for "Operation Red Sea" first.

The estimated start time of this movie has been postponed for more than a week, and it can't be delayed any longer.

The Navy is very anxious. They have called him no less than five times in the past few days, asking him if he has any difficulties?

This is also a kind of alternative "urging". Chen Fei is not stupid, how could he not hear it?

However, he had just left the villa for less than five minutes when the phone suddenly rang.

As soon as he pressed the connect button, Wang Changtian's hearty laughter came from the phone: "Haha, brother, I have to thank you again, this tone is so refreshing!

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is scheduled for New Year's Day, which directly suppresses the rising momentum of "Old Cannon", good! That's great!"

Chen Fei smiled and pretended not to understand: "What is Mr. Wang talking about? Why don't I understand?"

After hearing this, Wang Changtian suddenly understood.

Everyone knows it in their hearts, it is better not to spread such words, otherwise it is very likely to be reprimanded by the domestic film industry.

You know, the relevant departments responsible for scheduling have been scolded a lot at this time.

Many people in the industry are clamoring to complain, strongly opposing this shameless act of inserting Hollywood imported blockbusters in the Lunar New Year period.

Many film companies originally wanted to recover their costs by relying on the Lunar New Year period, but now suddenly a movie "Legend of the Force" came out, and this cost is still far away!

Wang Changtian changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. How did Mr. La agree to temporarily insert this Hollywood imported blockbuster into the Lunar New Year period? Didn't he expect that someone would object?"

"Haha." Chen Fei smiled, and his expression became inexplicably complicated: "Our Mr. La has different standards for Hollywood imported blockbusters, Hong Kong films and mainland films."

Hearing this, Wang Changtian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Fei said in a deep voice: "Hollywood producers> Hong Kong film companies> mainland film and television companies."

"Shouldn't it be? He is the helmsman of mainland films. Logically speaking, domestic films are his foundation?"

"Haha." Chen Fei smiled, and suddenly changed the subject: "Forget it, Mr. Wang, let's not talk about this topic. On the 1st of next month, "Operation Red Sea" will hold a start-up ceremony in the auditorium. Remember to come then."

"Okay, I will definitely come."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Changtian subconsciously frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

It seems that since Feiyue Film and Television and Anle Pictures reached a deadlock, Chen Fei's attitude towards China Film has changed subtly, which can be seen from the distribution of shares of "Operation Red Sea" before.

After thinking for a long time, after sorting out the cause and effect, his expression became much more complicated.

"I can't enjoy the shade under the big tree? When it rained heavily, not only did I fail to shelter from the rain, but I avoided it. This behavior is really a bit chilling!

Alas, it was better when President Han was in power. Who under him would not accept the temper and methods of the Third Master?"

When he came to the company, Chen Fei found Su Guohai as soon as possible and began to integrate relevant resources with him, and formulate subsequent shooting plans and arrangements.

At the same time, he also asked his assistant to help contact all the actors and inform them of the upcoming opening ceremony of the movie.

It is absolutely not allowed to overlap when filming his dramas. I believe that all the actors can understand this.

At the same time, just as Chen Fei was busy arranging work, the Internet became lively again, and several hot searches rushed to the list, which was dazzling.

"Actor Li Bingbin had a high fever for half a month during the filming of the Sino-US co-production "Mystery Nest". He had no choice but to return to China for treatment."

"Ali announced that he will cooperate with Yu Dong and go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the future."

"The large-scale 3D mythological masterpiece "Legend of the Gods", exclusively produced by Bona Film Group and invested up to 500 million yuan, was officially announced to be completed this morning!"

"At the film "Legend of the Gods" completion press conference, all the main creative members appeared, including Li Lianjie, Fan Bingbing, Wen Zhang, Huang Xiaoming, Louis Koo, Yang Ying, Xiang Zao, Liang Jiahui, Andy On, etc. A group of powerful big names, it can be called the top lineup of Chinese-language movies! "

"In an interview with the media, Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Film Group, said: "Legend of the Gods" will present a truly epic 3D mythological masterpiece to the industry and the audience, and there will be a sequel in the future."

"Director Xu An said that the "Legend of the Gods" series of movies has every hope of expanding into the "Legend of the Gods Universe", and its potential is no less than the "Ghost Blowing Light Universe." "

It was busy until noon, and when Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, he was shocked to find that a large number of film and television industry practitioners were helping to promote "Legend of the Gods".

Looking around, the mainland film circle is even more excited than the Hong Kong circle, as if joining a big-budget movie will inevitably become a hit.

It has to be said that the momentum of this movie is indeed huge, and the cast is also one of the strongest.

Looking around, the actors who joined in the mainland can be said to be a full first-line lineup.

As for the Hong Kong circle, Li Lianjie + Liang Jiahui + Andy On, this is also a solid first-line lineup.

It was the name "Xiang Zao" that made Chen Fei feel a little uncomfortable.

His existence just proved the saying: A centipede will not die even if it is dead!

Although Huaxiaxing has gone bankrupt, and even the company's assets and copyrights have been sold out, the Xiang family still has some spare power in the Hong Kong circle.

Looking at Xiang Zao again, it is obvious that he is the new "chess piece" launched by his father.

I just don't know if this prince of the Xiang family really has acting talent, or is he a hopeless person?

At this moment, Su Guohai's voice suddenly rang in Chen Fei's ears: "I saw media reports that this "Legend of the Gods" is likely to collide with "Detective Chinatown 2" that we are going to launch in the summer vacation next year!"

"If it collides, it collides."

Chen Fei didn't mind at all, and even laughed and teased: "Don't look at their seemingly luxurious cast and fierce publicity, but these are useless.

If a movie wants to get a high box office, it still depends on the post-production level and the quality of the film."

At this point, his His expression suddenly became a little playful: "Think carefully, Hong Kong Island director + Hong Kong Island producer + traditional mythology blockbuster, is there any successful case of this type of movie?"

Su Guohai was slightly stunned, and after thinking carefully, his expression was a little surprised: "Will it not be filmed into that kind of messy scene of grabbing territory again?"

"Haha, we can wait and see."

In the afternoon, Chen Fei continued to be busy with the relevant work plan arrangements before the start of "Operation Red Sea", and at the same time instructed the publicity department to inform the news of the start of this movie.

As expected, as soon as the notice was published, it immediately rushed to the Weibo hot search list!

"Feiyue Film and Television has recently released a notice: The main theme commercial movie "Operation Red Sea" directed by Chen Fei will hold a premiere event on the 1st of next month. The relevant invitation letter has been sent out, so stay tuned!"

As soon as this news came out, the hot search for "Legend of the Gods" was immediately suppressed.

Yu Dong was very unhappy, but he could do nothing about it.

After all, Chen Fei + mainstream commercial movies are at least equivalent to 2 billion + box office, which is undoubtedly the best promotional entry point in the eyes of the media.

On the other hand, although "Legend of the Gods" is boasted loudly, the actual situation has not yet been determined.

Looking at the assistant who was previously sent to the "Legend of the Gods" crew as a producer standing in the office, Yu Dong suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, how is Xiang's acting? Is it okay?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said very tactfully: "In my opinion, his performance is very special. You can tell at a glance that he is trying hard to perform and wants to play this role well.

And he is very funny. Even if his expression, movements, and acting skills are serious, there is a faint sense of contrast and humor. He is a very special actor."

Yu Dong was stunned and confused.

What kind of adjectives are these?

How come he knows every word, but when combined, there is a faint sense of weirdness?

On the 30th, Chen Fei came to the company again, and then chatted with the main creative members of "Operation Red Sea" who came to report, and also checked their training during this period.

Comparatively speaking, Huang Jingyu's training results are the best among the few.

In the movie, he will play a sniper with a decisive and calm personality and superb marksmanship.

During the training process during this period, he can be said to be fluent in various operating methods of sniper rifles, just like a veteran with several years of experience.

In comparison, Huang Xiaoming's training is not particularly in place, after all, he is too busy and has no time to participate in the training plan.

But this is not a big problem, anyway, he does not have many shots, and he can continue to train after joining the group.

Chen Fei believes that with his own ability, it is not a problem to train these people well.

After the busy work, another day is over.

After seeing off Zhou Xun, the last one to come, and telling her to keep exercising to ensure that her physical strength could keep up with the subsequent filming, Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After two days of high-intensity work, all the work before the start of filming was finally completed.

Next, we will wait for the opening ceremony on the 1st before we can start filming smoothly.

The sky outside has darkened. After simply tidying up the slightly messy desk, Chen Fei walked out of the office and prepared to go home.

While sitting in the elevator, he casually opened Weibo and saw a new hot search on the headlines.

"Reprinted from the Hollywood Daily: The fantasy, adventure, and action blockbuster "Kong: Skull Island", jointly produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, with an investment of up to $185 million, has officially wrapped up in Los Angeles."

"The actress Jing Tian, ​​who plays the second female lead in the film, has now left the crew and rushed to the airport to return to China."

"It is reported that the film version of "Eternal Love" produced exclusively by Alibaba Pictures is about to start filming, and the first female lead has been confirmed to be played by mainland actress Jing Tian. This time Jing Tian returned to China to shoot this movie."

"The Great Wall, "Kong: Skull Island", and "Eternal Love", Jing Tian currently has three big-budget movies to her credit, the most among current domestic actresses!"

"The TV series "Ban Shu Chuang Qi" and "The Legend of Dayu'er" starring Jing Tian are currently in theaters and have successfully attracted the support of countless drama fans."

Looking at the news reported on Weibo, Chen Fei felt inexplicably complicated.

Especially when he saw the movie title "The Great Wall", he felt helpless.

I have to say that this girl's resources are really good, and Lu Zheng has attracted a lot of contacts and film and television projects for her over the years.

However, their vision is very questionable.

Especially that "The Great Wall", if it could be renamed, it might become a good special effects blockbuster.

But it was called "The Great Wall", which will undoubtedly become a black spot in Jing Tian's resume!

A year has passed in the hot searches that have appeared in turn.

On the morning of the 1st, many hot searches went straight to the list, making the entire film industry and netizens dizzy!

"The comedy and action movie "Detective Chinatown 2", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and directed by Wang Shiliang, starring Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang, Wang Xun and others, has been officially announced today."

"The third installment of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, "Kunlun Temple," directed by Ning Hao and starring Liu Ye, Shu Chang, and Chen Minghao, was officially announced yesterday evening at the Beijing Film Studio Film and Television Base."

"The comedy movie "One Thought in Paradise", controlled by Happy Twist and directed by Zhang Cheng, starring Shen Teng and Ma Li, grossed 31.28 million at the box office on the first day of release. The reputation is quite polarizing! It may not be able to achieve the glory of "Charlotte Trouble" ”

~

At this time, outside the auditorium, Chen Fei was receiving the guests who came to attend the launch conference of "Operation Red Sea" today.

Just when he had just sent the leaders from the General Administration into the auditorium, Su Guohai suddenly came over and reminded in a low voice: "Director Chen, I'm afraid the new movie invested by Happy Mahua will lose money."

"Huh?" Chen Fei was slightly startled, unable to react.

"That's the movie "One Thought in Heaven."

Chen Fei suddenly thought about it: "Oh, I know! The one with Shen Teng and Ma Li?"

Since the release of "Charlotte", Happy Mahua, who has made money, has tasted the sweetness of investing in movies, and then began to look for new investment projects.

And this "One Thought in Heaven" is the second film project invested by Happy Twist after succeeding "Charlotte Trouble".

In order for this movie to continue to be as successful as "Charlotte", Shen Teng and Ma Li once again paired up, starring in the male protagonist "Silent" and the female protagonist "Ma Xiaoli" respectively.

The publicity before the release of the movie was quite intense. After all, "Charlotte" preceded it, movie fans were looking forward to this "One Thought in Heaven".

But after it was released yesterday, problems arose.

Taking advantage of the gap between the press conference and the film launch, Chen Fei took a look at the relevant film reviews on the Internet.

Looking at it, the problems with this movie are quite serious!

"I have high expectations for Shen Teng as always, but strictly speaking, this shouldn't be called a movie, right? The whole movie seems very dull and boring, and it looks more like an extended stage show."

"The film is slightly different from ordinary comedies. Shen Teng's performance in the film inexplicably reminds me of Jim Carrey. He has perfect acting skills, but is stuck in the comedy field. He wants people to feel something, but he I was dragged away by the plot again.”

"I went for this movie with Shen Teng and Ma Li in mind, but unfortunately, the plot is completely incomparable with "Charlotte". Although there are a lot of laughs, I don't know why, but it's just boring to watch."

After briefly reading a few movie reviews, Chen Fei gave this movie a death sentence.

Obviously, the fans were all looking for Shen Teng and Ma Li, but because the plot was too boring and dull, the two did not perform to their due level.

Coupled with the fact that there is "Charlotte" as a comparison, this movie seems to be very bad!

Su Guohai spoke again at this time: "I heard that in order to invest in this movie, Happy Mahua invested all the profits from "Charlotte Trouble"."

"Tsk." Chen Fei's expression was a bit complicated: "It seems like everything is going to be in vain."

While the two were chatting, they saw another group of people approaching from the other side of the red carpet.

Su Guohai looked up and shouted in surprise: "It's someone from the Maritime Art Department, good guy, the one taking the lead is actually~"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Fei had already greeted him.

Half an hour later, as all the invited guests, investors, leaders, etc. arrived, the "Operation Red Sea" launch conference officially began.

Chen Fei led a group of creatives to the rostrum. According to the process planned in advance, he cooperated with the host and began to explain the film shooting process and related plans, arrangements and other work.

Afterwards, the relevant leaders came up to the rostrum and began to tell some inside stories and background stories about the movie. Their words were filled with pride and a hint of warning.

The flash lights under the stage are connected together! That's called dazzling.

This kind of movie adapted from real events is very shocking and has a strong sense of immersion.

Now, after Chen Fei's personal intervention, the relevant incident has been adapted into a movie!

At this moment, many film and television company bosses at the press conference had complicated looks in their eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will probably be another exciting "box office harvest" after it is released.

For a while, many people secretly muttered in their hearts: "We must avoid its edge when the time comes, otherwise we will definitely be unlucky!"
