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

Chapter 1026 The global film market is in turmoil caused by "Avengers 3"! DC's troubles... finally divorced!

"At the launch conference of "Avengers 3", Director Chen Fei said that he would create a new movie box office miracle, with the goal of a global box office of 3 billion US dollars!"

"Faced with the recent marketing provocation of "Justice League", Director Chen Fei said that DC should not get involved, and wait until the box office and word of mouth can achieve good results before comparing them..."

"That afternoon, "Avengers 3: Infinity War" officially started trial shooting, and released several promotional posters and actor makeup photos."

"..."

Looking around, all the major hot search headlines in Hollywood have been dominated by "Avengers 3", and the heat and discussion have reached the extreme, even the Oscars have been affected.

A movie with 24 superheroes officially kicked off the shooting, which is undoubtedly a shocking news to many filmmakers and film and television companies!

Because if nothing unexpected happens, when this movie is released, other movies released at the same time will probably be trampled underfoot, and there will be no room for resistance.

The discussion in the Hollywood circle suddenly broke out:

"We must avoid "Avengers 3". This movie is destined to siphon all the theaters' screenings. Once we collide with it, we will definitely die miserably!"

"According to the time calculation, this movie should be released next year. It seems that we have to readjust the schedule."

"If possible, I hope to keep "Rampage" away from "Avengers 3", the farther the better!"

"Go find the head of the distribution department. I hope to let "A Quiet Place" be released in advance, preferably not to collide with "Avengers 3". I don't want to get hurt..."

"Damn it, why does Hollywood have to have a company called "Marvel"? What exactly does this yellow-skinned guy want to mess with Hollywood?"

"..."

For a whole day, the whole of Hollywood was boiling for the start of "Avengers 3".

Meanwhile, on the DC side, a group of people were busy responding to media interviews and the "counterattack" from Marvel.

"How is the preparation for "Justice League" going? Is everything going well in post-production?"

Kevin Tsujihara came to DC very rarely, gathered a large group of people, and once again analyzed the movie "Justice League" in depth.

In their opinion, what Chen Fei said at the movie launch conference was completely equivalent to Marvel and Walton Pictures joining forces to deliver a provocative "war letter" to DC.

Even if they don't want to fight this battle, they have to fight it now.

This kind of issue of face and dignity has been included in the list of concerns by Time Warner Group and the board of directors, so there must be no problems with "Justice League"!

"Boss, don't worry, everything is going well..."

DC Films Chairman Hamada hurriedly assured, vowing that the movie can definitely be released smoothly within the scheduled schedule.

However, although he was saying nice words, he was in another state of irritability and emotion in his heart.

It has been three months since the filming of "Justice League" was officially completed at the end of October last year, but there has always been a very troublesome problem in the post-production!

After three months of post-production, Zack Snyder, the director, actually submitted a five-hour edited film!

Even at Hamada's strong request, the other party conducted a new round of fine cutting, but the length was only compressed to 280 minutes.

Hamada didn't understand his behavior and had quarreled with him several times because of it!

But for Zack Snyder, he must use enough time to tell a story clearly.

Just like last year's "Batman v Superman", he took a full 151 minutes to "barely" tell the whole story, which also led to the poor reputation of the audience of this movie.

So this time, he learned from his mistakes and directly extended the length of "Justice League" to nearly 300 minutes, hoping to tell the whole story clearly at one time!

But this behavior is undoubtedly a "heretical" operation in the Hollywood film system.

The entire DC Films executives, including Hamada, believe that a movie only needs 120 minutes at most.

But Zack Snyder is unwilling to make further concessions.

So, the two sides naturally have a huge disagreement!

Fortunately, there are still more than 9 months before the movie is released, and Hamada believes that he has enough time to continue to improve the post-production.

Based on this, he will say to Kevin Tsujihara, "Everything is going well."

After all, if the problem is directly stated now, it will undoubtedly reveal his incompetence and leadership defects, which he cannot accept!

"When is the next internal preview going to be held? Remember to notify me, I want to see what the movie looks like."

Kevin Tsujihara is not the kind of irresponsible boss. In order to keep his position stable, he must spare his energy to pay attention to "Justice League".

"A week later."

Hamada said, and he was already ruthless in his heart.

He dared not let Kevin Tsujihara watch a 280-minute movie. If his boss's bladder exploded, it would be a big trouble.

So, in the next week, he had to let Zack Snyder continue to shorten the length of the film!

In any case, the length of the film must be kept at around 120 minutes.

Mistakes such as last year's "Batman v Superman" must not be made again. After all, if the screening time of a movie is too long, it will cause strong dissatisfaction among fans!

Just like their old rival "Avengers", the screening time of the first and second parts was basically kept at the limit of 140 minutes.

This time limit is quite good, at least it sounds more reliable than 300 minutes and 280 minutes, and the audience can easily accept it.

The meeting lasted for half an hour.

After sending Kevin Tsujihara away, Hamada first breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly became fierce!

"Let's go! To the editing room! I'm going to find Zack Snyder. The length of Justice League must be shortened. 280 minutes is just a joke to God!"

...

After the test shoot in the afternoon, Chen Fei did not go to the hotel, but returned to Beverly Hills.

In order to coordinate management, the actors all stayed in the hotel together.

But as a director, he naturally did not have a hard requirement in this regard.

Although he could also stay in a hotel nearby, in order to avoid actresses knocking on the door in the middle of the night, under the guise of discussing the plot to achieve some ulterior purposes, he chose to live at home.

Although he had to get up half an hour earlier every day for this, it was not a difficult task for him.

In comparison, resisting the seduction of those bold and hot female stars is the real difficult thing!

The first thing he did when he got home was to take a shower, then lie on the bed, and leisurely browse the news.

It was already morning in China, and a lot of the latest entertainment news appeared on Weibo.

After ignoring the reports about "Avengers 3", he began to look through other entertainment reports.

"The 67th Berlin International Film Festival officially kicked off yesterday, and the famous mainland director Ning Hao made a grand appearance as a judge of the main competition unit!"

"Many first- and second-tier domestic filmmakers rushed to Berlin. Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbin, and Zhang Ziyi competed on the red carpet, showing the style of Chinese female stars..."

"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "xXx: Return of Xander Cage" and the Chinese-language film "The Cookery God" starring Nicholas Tse were officially released today, accounting for 30.3% and 18.7% of the screenings respectively."

"Yesterday's box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was only 23.159 million, and the box office potential is declining..."

"Feiyue Film and Television and Hanna Film and Television jointly issued a notice this morning, officially announcing the cast list of the movie "A Good Show":

Huang Bo will direct and act, and will work with Wang Baoqiang, Chen Cao, Zhang Yixing, Yu Hewei, Wang Xun and others to perform "A Good Show"; it is reported that the film is expected to officially start shooting in a week."

Looking at Ning Hao's makeup at the Berlin International Film Festival, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.

This guy is absolutely amazing!

The big gold chain, black sunglasses, and the black suit, white shirt, and shiny hair, he is just like a gangster boss!

People who know him naturally know that he went to the film festival to be a judge, but those who don't know probably thought he went to "blitz Berlin".

"Hey, Ning Heipi, no wonder your wife is worried about you and keeps you under strict surveillance. You don't look like a good person, hahaha!"

After taking a photo of the red carpet and sending it to Ning Hao, Chen Fei sent a voice message to mock him.

It was still early in Berlin, so Ning Hao naturally couldn't go to bed early.

After a while, a video call came in.

"I'm obviously dressed normally, right? I'm like this on weekdays! How come you guys think I'm not a good person? You're not being reasonable!"

"Hahahahaha!"

This work was compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Chen Fei laughed even happier.

It was not until Ning Hao hung up the video with a dark face that he continued to complain in a voice message: "Why don't you look at the other judges? Who is like you, wearing sunglasses on the red carpet? Are you imitating Wang Jiawei? Or Xie Xian?"

"..."

After teasing him for a while, Chen Fei threw his phone away and fell asleep directly on the pillow, leaving Ning Hao alone in front of the bathroom mirror to look at his outfit, falling into deep thought and confusion.

"Do I really look like a gangster?"

The next day, the news that "Avengers 3" officially started shooting today after yesterday's trial shooting spread throughout Hollywood again, which made DC and Warner even more nervous.

Hamada had another quarrel with Zack Snyder yesterday, and finally persuaded the other party to continue to shorten the length of the film.

But it is precisely because of the constant quarrels between the two sides that the contradictions have accumulated more and more!

Perhaps it only takes a fuse for the cooperation between the two sides to completely break, collapse, and overturn!

Fortunately, the post-production of "Wonder Woman" has been announced to be completed, and it is scheduled to be released simultaneously around the world on June 2, which is considered to be good news.

"Fei, the post-production phase of "Ready Player One" is almost over. When do you want this movie to be released?"

At the filming site of "Avengers 3", while Chen Fei was taking a break, Natasha actually brought him good news.

"Is the post-season of "Ready Player One" almost over?"

Chen Fei's eyes lit up and his mood suddenly boiled.

A lot of his hard work went into this movie, and its importance is no less important than the "Avengers 3" he is currently filming!

Especially in terms of box office expectations, he has very bold ambitions!

Natasha added: "We are currently doing the final touches and it will be all done in a week at the latest."

"Let's discuss the schedule after we finish watching the film. I have to think about it carefully..."

Chen Fei couldn't decide at what time period he should release this movie.

After all, his expectation is to find a time period when the market is very hot, and it is best to be released simultaneously around the world.

There are summer vacation stalls, National Day stalls, and Lunar New Year stalls in China.

On the North American side, there is the North American summer vacation, which lasts from May to September, as well as Christmas, spring, autumn and many other popular periods.

It is best to choose a time period that covers both domestic and foreign popular schedules, so that you can smoothly capture the market popularity on both sides!

~

The day's shooting work ended smoothly.

After bidding farewell to the crew, Chen Fei got in the car and returned to Beverly Hills. Then it was normal to take a shower and talk on the phone with Liu Yifei.

By the time he lay on the bed, it was already a new day in China!

Weibo also welcomed new entertainment news reports:

"On the first day of its release, the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Xxx: Return" took in a box office of 143 million yuan, while "The God of Cookery" only took in a box office of 33.4814 million yuan."

"Affected by the decline in film schedules, the box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" dropped to 35.54 million yesterday, while the box office of "Journey to the West" dropped to 12.09 million."

"China Film Group has issued the latest announcement: Starting from this month, the number of Hollywood blockbusters introduced by China Film Group will no longer be based on the minimum standard of 34 films in the Sino-US film agreement, but will be increased to more than 40 films. I hope the industry will know... "

The box office data of several movies did not arouse Chen Fei's attention. On the contrary, the last announcement from China Film made him stunned.

"Good guy? As soon as this announcement comes out, La Pik Kang will be scolded to death by his peers in the industry, right?"

Just as he said, at the opening ceremony of the "Fengshen Training Camp" in China, many colleagues looked at La Sheikang with a bit of anger and complaint in their eyes.

Chinese-language movies are already miserable enough, but now China Film Group has actually increased the number of imported Hollywood blockbusters it introduces. Isn’t this pushing people to the end?

Although everyone didn't dare to question him directly why he did this, they almost scolded him behind his back!

La Sheikang is naturally not the kind of person who is very slow to perceive emotions.

He also knew that as soon as this announcement from China Film Group came out, his colleagues would definitely nail him to the pillar of shame! There may even be people who are ready to stab him and curse him!

But what can he do?

The WTO has been putting pressure on him, and Hollywood's reporting letters are hitting his head one after another...

If he doesn't increase the number of imported films he introduces, I'm afraid he won't be able to occupy this position even this year.

Only then did he finally understand how much pressure Han Sanping had been under!

But in the face of this overwhelming pressure, the mountain eagle can bear it, but Ta La Pikang cannot...

Now he can only imagine that domestic movies can have a few more movies with a box office of over 3 billion yuan like last year, so as to withstand the impact of imported Hollywood blockbusters.

"After "Monster Hunt 2", "Shanghai Fortress", and "The Gods Trilogy" are all successful, my pressure and the pressure of Chinese-language movies will probably be less, right?"

Faced with many dissatisfied looks around him, La Pikang expressed deep expectations in his heart!

…

"This morning, the crew of the much-anticipated "Fengshen Trilogy" officially launched the "Fengshen Training Camp" program, which aims to provide professional training to young actors selected from global auditions to ensure that they are qualified for the roles in the film. Role."

“It is reported that the courses in the training camp cover many aspects such as performance, action and culture, including action courses such as martial arts, equestrian, bow and arrow, and body shaping, as well as cultural courses such as pre-Qin cultural history and film appreciation;

Director Wu Ershan expressed the hope that through such training, the actors can better interpret the spiritual outlook of the soldiers in the cold weapon era three thousand years ago in "The Trilogy of the Gods". "

"According to media interviews, the actors entering the training camp this time are all outstanding ones who have been carefully selected. They will receive rigorous training in the training camp and have the opportunity to play important roles in "The Trilogy of the Gods" Role!"

"Song Ge, the investor of "Fengshen Trilogy", emphasized again at the opening ceremony: 3 billion funds will be transferred into the crew's account in batches to ensure that everything from auditions to filming and post-production can proceed smoothly!

At the same time, he also made bold claims that the film will be a new milestone in the history of Chinese-language films and will be remembered by future generations! "

"La Peikang, chairman of China Film Group, the co-producer of "The Three Kingdoms of Gods", said: The opening of this training camp not only provides a strong guarantee of talent for the filming of the film, but also injects new vitality into the development of the Chinese film industry..."

"..."

Chen Fei really didn't expect that the news of the opening ceremony of the "Three Kingdoms of Gods" could be spread from China to Hollywood!

Listening to the discussions of the people in the "Avengers 3" crew, he couldn't help but wonder: "How much "dirty things" are they going to clean up? It actually caused such a big commotion? Don't the higher-ups care about it?"

Just as he was wondering, suddenly, a piece of entertainment information that had just been refreshed on the mobile phone screen suddenly attracted his attention.

"Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, after 1 year! They officially reached an agreement in the Los Angeles court this morning and successfully divorced!"
