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

After arranging the follow-up work of Longxiang Capital, Chen Fei paid attention to Eric Keger's progress, and then returned to Waltons Pictures with Bruce.

He handed the negatives of "Mulan" to the editing department for rough cutting, and then he went to the animation studio.

The subsequent props and scene construction for "Wall-E" have been completed, and it's just waiting for him to direct and shoot.

Andrew Brocher was very happy to see Chen Fei coming over.

"Fei, can we finish the final stage of filming?"

Chen Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, work hard and try to end it in a short time."

This animated film will be used to compete for the Lunar New Year and next year's Oscar for Best Animated Film, so it must be released in December at the latest.

It is already August, and they still have four months left, so time is still quite tight.

After the animation is completed, he will seamlessly enter the filming of "Game of Thrones".

Marvel is currently doing scene setting and preliminary preparations. Naturally, Chen Fei is not responsible for this part of the work. The mature Hollywood industry has saved him a lot of time.

With the arrival of August, the domestic box office of "Twilight" has officially been confirmed.

The data of 200 million simply blinded a lot of people’s eyes!

Naturally, there are criticisms. After all, the essence of this movie is a bloody romantic idol drama, but this does not affect its box office trend at all.

On Douban, even though many people said the plot was too bad, the rating still remained above eight.

However, the rating on IMDb is a bit miserable, having dropped to 6.5 points.

IMDb is the most used movie rating platform in the world, and its top 250 movie list is the bible for countless movie fans.

Different from Douban, IMDb uses a ten-point system, and the deductions will be more detailed.

The total global box office data has not yet been officially released, but according to the predictions of authoritative sources, it will be at least 450-500 million US dollars!

For a movie with an investment cost of only $30 million, this is undoubtedly a huge victory.

Sony sent a document to his mailbox.

Since its release on June 1, "2012" has finally achieved a box office record of US$235 million in North America and a total box office of US$860 million worldwide.

The rating on IMDb is far higher than Twilight, reaching 7.5.

There is no doubt that this is also a big victory!

From the box office alone, Sony can get a share of US$430 million. If subsequent copyrights are included, this revenue can steadily rise to US$500 million.

And Chen Fei will also receive a huge share of the profits!

When they went to Sony Columbia to attend the celebration banquet, Walker Engel and Roland Emmerich both had bright smiles on their faces, and they all surrounded Chen Fei with praises!

"Fei, your talent in screenwriting is the highest I have ever seen!"

“I very much hope to cooperate with you in the future!”

Chen Fei smiled and nodded in response: "Don't worry, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Although Spider-Man's copyright cannot be recovered for the time being, he will never let go of this superhero character. This is an indelible part of Marvel's development plan for the next ten years.

But Chen Fei was not ready to immediately propose cooperation with Sony Colombia. He wanted the other party to come to him proactively.

The initiative must be in the hands of Marvel!

~

After the celebration banquet, Chen Fei returned to the company and once again devoted himself to the filming of the movie.

However, just a short while after he officially started working, Natasha came over happily, with a bright smile on her face.

"Fei, congratulations, you successfully made the Forbes list!"

Forbes?

Pressing the pause button of the camera, Chen Fei took the magazine over.

"2007 Forbes Global 100 Celebrities List"

Looking around, his name is ranked 9th!

The publication date shown in the magazine is August 1. Obviously, Forbes should have intercepted the report cards for the first half of the year and last year.

Recall that during this time period, Chen Fei successively launched many masterpieces such as "Source Code", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Iron Man", "Shoplifters" and so on!

The two awards including the Saturn Award for Best Director and the Palme d'Or have made his popularity spread all over the world!

Plus several challenging tasks from Red Bull, as well as the identity of a global spokesperson...

With the blessing of these many conditions, he successfully ranked among the top 10 of Forbes' list of the 100 Celebrities in the World!

"not bad."

Chen Fei briefly took a look at the other people who were selected.

Behind him is Steven Spielberg, and in front of him is Tom Cruise.

Looking around, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, the Rolling Stones and other well-known Hollywood talk show actors, movie stars, singers, etc. are all listed!

Normally, this kind of list is played by the Americans themselves, and rarely attracts attention from the domestic side.

But this year, because Chen Fei entered the top ten, he instantly attracted the attention of many people!

Domestic portal websites reprinted the list on the same day.

For a time, domestic netizens were the first to explode!

Someone on the forum said: "This list is ranked based on four dimensions: income, Internet influence, publication influence, and TV influence."

Someone below immediately echoed:

"Good guy, so Director Chen's influence in Hollywood has surpassed Spielberg?"

"It can't be said to be surpassed. After all, this list only counts the results in the second half of last year and the first half of this year. During this period, Director Chen's influence in Hollywood was indeed quite large."

"Good guy, this rise is faster than riding on a sky-rocket!"

“No. 9 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list?”

Su Guohai, who was socializing at a cocktail party, received the news immediately.

He was quite dumbfounded. Not only was his boss very successful at home, he was no less successful abroad than those internationally renowned directors.

Steven Spielberg was lined up behind him. This scene was so awesome!

"Hello, Mr. Su."

A shout attracted Su Guohai's attention.

He turned around and saw a woman in a strapless evening dress raising a glass to him.

Huo Siyan, Huayi Public Relations Manager!

Thinking of this woman's record, Su Guohai felt a sudden resistance in his heart.

I have a family and children, so it’s better to stay away from her!

"Hello."

Su Guohai nodded lightly, clinked glasses with her, chatted for a few words, and then quickly went to China Film Studio.

This scene immediately made Huo Siyan a little confused.

She was planning to chat for a while and then ask if there were any roles suitable for her in "Painted Skin", but she didn't expect Su Guohai to turn around and run away as if he had seen the plague?

With a somewhat depressed snort, she raised her wine glass and walked towards the other director.

Although he was abroad, domestic news continued to reach Chen Fei.

The literary and art circles are holding condolence activities recently. The famous cross talk actor Hou Yaowen passed away. I heard that the funeral procession was quite large.

When he heard this name, Chen Fei unconsciously thought of Guo Degang and his son.

The phrase "Be filial in front of the court" is so sad!

Huang Xiaoming, the "dog licker", finally woke up.

Ning Hao called and said very gossipy: "It's not a secret in the industry that he likes Zhao Yanzi, but people are obviously treating him like a monkey and blatantly talking about the rumors between the two on the talk show. Don’t give Xiao Ming face…”

"So how is he doing now?"

"He has already fallen out of love before he even started dating. It just fits Wang Sheng's state in "Painted Skin". I plan to let him bring this feeling to the filming of the movie."

"Hey? You are a talent too!"

"Hahaha!"

Ning Hao looked like he was gloating about his misfortune. He actually paid attention to Huang Xiaoming's condition immediately. The guy was just very disappointed and it would definitely not affect subsequent filming.

If a big man can't even bear this kind of thing, how can he still be in the entertainment industry?

~

After work started at full capacity, WALL-E's filming progress began to proceed at a rapid pace.

The improvement of director's skills allowed Chen Fei to suddenly understand a lot of things. Problems that were originally very complicated suddenly seemed effortless now.

And this also accelerated his filming progress!

Preparations for "Kung Fu Panda" have also begun. This time Andrew Brocher learned the lesson and caught Chen Fei and gave it a try.

A group of people couldn't wait to drag Chen Fei to work overtime every day!

The Venice International Film Festival will officially open on August 29, and some people in the industry have already begun to rush there.

Even if you can't be shortlisted for the main competition, you can still sell the copyright, and you might catch someone with a lot of money.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Chuan finally came to life again!

"Nanjing! Nanjing! 》 held a movie viewing party in the capital, inviting insiders and fans to attend.

Because the investors are China Film and Huayi, the application letter was sent by these two companies on their behalf.

Chen Fei naturally received one.

"Feiyue Film and Television will not go."

He called Han Sanping directly and explained his thoughts.

"Ning Hao..."

"He won't go either."

"Hey, you are so stubborn."

Han Sanping couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After all, he couldn't kidnap Chen Fei, right? And compared to Chen Fei, Lu Chuan's status in his heart was not much at all.

"I took into consideration that reporters and media would gossip..."

"Let them talk as much as they like. Everyone is very busy. Who has time to watch his crappy movies?"

"Okay, that's up to you."

Han Sanping didn't force herself and hung up the phone.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that as soon as the phone was hung up, Jiang Wen's call came in.

"Director Chen? What have you been doing recently?"

"It's filming."

"Hollywood?"

"right."

"Is it not convenient for me to go visit the class?"

Hey?

As soon as his thoughts changed, Chen Fei suddenly became happy.

Lao Jiang must have also received the invitation letter from China Film Group. He could avoid it, but it was not easy for him to avoid it.

Even if it is an excuse to go to the Venice Film Festival, the date has not yet arrived, so it is not appropriate to run away early...

Chen Fei happens to be abroad, so he might as well join him!

"Okay!" Chen Fei responded immediately: "I happen to be short of manpower here. Director Jiang is here to help. I will give you the price of the assistant director."

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Wenle hung up the phone cheerfully, and while instructing his wife to buy him a plane ticket, he called Han Sanping.

"Alas!" He sighed heavily and said with some sadness: "Director Han, I'm really sorry. There is a very urgent project in Hollywood, so I won't go to the film screening."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping was silent for a while and then cut off the call.

No need to guess, these two guys must have contacted each other in advance!

~

The film viewing party was held fairly smoothly. After all, there were two platforms, China Film and Huayi, and there were very few people who would not give them face.

Chen Fei read the media reports and found that many directors of literary and artistic feature films within the system were present, especially those from the older generation who were still able to move.

Wang Xiaoshuai, Jia Zhangke, Feng Xiaogang...these three are considered the most famous directors at the film festival.

As for Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai, they did not go.

It's very close to the start of the Olympic Games. Lao Mouzi has been busy lately, so how can he have time to participate in such activities?

And Lao Chen was obsessed with his "Mei Lanfang" and didn't go to the scene.

Sohu.com excerpted an excerpt from Lu Chuan's speech and used it as the title of the report.

[This is a movie about fighting for national scars...]

"I'll fight you to paralysis!"

Chen Fei rolled his eyes, full of disdain.

Jiang Wen was also looking at it with his mobile phone, but his expression was a little complicated.

"A lot of media are saying that we don't get along, that we have conflicts with Lu Chuan, that we don't support the domestic film industry, that we don't have any contact with each other, and so on. I guess it was specially arranged by that guy..."

"Ignore him, he's just a piece of trash."

Chen Fei was not affected at all by media reports.

At any time, directors who can make money are more popular than directors who can only win awards!

No matter how deep his network of connections in the industry and how strong his family connections were, Lu Chuan could not influence the film bureau.

The higher-ups have just issued a policy to accelerate the development of the film industry. What advantage does he have as a director of literary and artistic films?

The media just watched the fun, and within a few days this news was replaced by other news!

~

In order to invite Chen Fei to guest star in Super 4, Romulo Otero did not hesitate to come to invite him personally.

"Fei, I'm waiting for you now. 70% of the plot is over, and almost only the part about you is left."

Chen Fei rubbed the tip of his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Give me another week, and the movie will be finished soon. I will definitely be there as soon as possible."

"Ok, then I'll wait for you?"

"Ok, absolutely ok!"

If it had been any other actor, Universal Pictures would have deleted the scene long ago.

But Chen Fei is different. As long as he participates, it can bring in at least 50 million US dollars in box office revenue, which is far beyond his salary.

If they hadn't signed the agreement in advance, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hire this "big boss"!

Now, even if it means waiting a little longer, Universal Pictures is very willing.

As soon as Romulo Otero left, the company suddenly had another "visitor" that Chen Fei didn't expect.

"Huh? Isn't this Princess Cherry?"

Seeing Jing Tian timidly walking in under the guidance of the front desk, Chen Fei suddenly started to joke.

"Hello, Director Chen."

Jing Tian greeted him respectfully and handed a rather exquisite packaging bag in his hand to Chen Fei.

"What's this?"

Chen Fei took it curiously.

"cherry."

"Hahaha, you, the cherry spokesperson, can you eat for free?"

Spending more than 100,000 US dollars to buy a spokesperson, Chen Fei just thought about it and sighed at Lu Zheng's saucy behavior.

Jing Tian nodded seriously: "Yes, they said you can eat for free. You can take as much as you want."

"Hey? Really?"

This girl is very innocent and talks silly.

After showing her around the animation shooting process, Chen Feishun asked, "Where's Mr. Lu? Don't you want to come with you?"

Jing Tian shook his head: "Uncle Lu went to help me contact the crew. He wanted me to participate in the filming of Hollywood movies."

Nortel has issued the admission notice for new students, and Jing Tian is on the list.

Logically speaking, as the school year approaches, she should go to school first.

But now, it seems that she is preparing to copy Liu Yifei's path!

Comparatively speaking, this family's resources are indeed much better than Liu Yifei's, and the starting point for entering the industry is naturally much higher.

"So you have decided? To develop your acting skills directly through acting? Instead of going to class to learn?"

"Um."

Jing Tian had no intention of hiding it and nodded naturally.

"It's a pity." Chen Fei pointed out: "Xiaohong can rely on praise, but if you want to become famous, you still need solid acting skills."

"I know, I will learn and improve while filming."

Good opportunities are so rare that Lu Zheng doesn't dare to wait, and Jing Tian doesn't want to wait either, because they don't have much time to settle and learn.

The flowering period of actresses is not long. Jing Tian has not yet made her debut as a child star, so she can only choose to take shortcuts.

It just so happens that Lu Zheng is still good at spending money...

~

When the little girl came to visit the class, Chen Fei naturally couldn't leave her alone.

After the day's shooting, he called Bruce, Natasha, and Andrew, and they went to dinner with him, and by the way went to see the latest "Transformers".

DreamWorks and Paramount teamed up to create this sci-fi masterpiece that took a year and a half!

Even though there were movies such as "The Twilight Saga", "Ratatouille", and "Die Hard 4" before them, when "Transformers" appeared, the first three movies chose to surrender obediently.

The box office in the first seven days was US$150 million!

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, plus Megan Fox's small waist...

Absolutely amazing!

Bruce was drooling on the side with a hopeful look on his face: "Fei, promise me, you must find a chance to collaborate with Megan Fox."

"What do you want to do?"

"I really like her so much. Can you shoot a sex scene with her? I'm willing to be your videographer. I know your fighting ability. I promise you can last two hours without going to the toilet."

"???"

Chen Fei looked confused? When did this guy get into bad habits like NTR?

Jing Tian blushed as he listened, but his eyes couldn't help but glance to his side.

Two hours?

real or fake?

Even Natasha looked surprised. She was much more straightforward than Jing Tian, ​​so she came over and started to inquire about the news.

Chen Fei rolled his eyes and ignored them.

There is an underage girl beside them, and these two perverts don't know how to restrain themselves. How can they ask a man face to face how long he can last?
