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

Weibo is indeed a very convenient promotional channel. After receiving the poster from Cameron, Chen Fei immediately posted a new Weibo.

"Thank you very much James Cameron for the celebratory poster. Here, I also wish "Avatar" a box office success!"

As soon as the new Weibo was posted, and in conjunction with Sina's reports, it instantly hit the top of the hot search list!

For a time, netizens filled the comment area with heated discussions.

"Dear me?! Director Chen's new movie won the first place in North American film history? Damn it! Are you kidding me!"

"This, this, this... is so awesome!"

"Damn! Fired "Titanic"?"

"F*ck! Awesome! So awesome! This is our Chinese director! An unprecedented achievement!"

"Don't tell me, this poster is so well drawn. The young Leo and Kate have turned into middle-aged Jack and Fatty. It seems to have a sense of inheritance."

There has been heated discussion online, but industry insiders have mixed feelings.

Wu Yu, who was supervising the production of "Sword Rain", seemed to have eaten dog shit and felt bad all over.

He is obviously the ray of hope for Chinese directors in Hollywood. The original "Face/Off" and "Mission: Impossible 2" were so brilliant that they made him famous all over the world!

But now?

The title of "Light of Hope" was taken away, and he could never go back to Hollywood. He couldn't go back!

Looking at the global box office total of "Inception" announced online, Wu Yu's eyes were filled with tears.

1.56 billion U.S. dollars, which has almost surpassed the 1.8 billion U.S. dollars of that big ship. No matter how hard he tries, he may not be able to catch up!

On the other side of the new screen, Zhang Weiping was sitting in the office, touching his right cheek, feeling some pain in his face for no reason.

When "Inception" was released, he also vowed that the film would probably earn up to 600 million yuan in China.

But now it's good, the domestic box office has exceeded 1.2 billion, more than double his previous estimate!

The slap in the face was like "crackling"!

It's a good thing he didn't say this in front of the media, otherwise his name would definitely appear on the hot search list on Weibo today, and it would appear as a negative example!

Many people called Chen Fei to congratulate him, or sent them text messages or emails to congratulate him.

"No. 1 in North American film history!"

This title has completely established Chen Fei's success in the field of global commercial films. A group of people in the mainland can only envy him and cannot even think of chasing him.

When Jang Chang-won, the president of South Korea's SBS TV station, called to congratulate him, he also informed him that "Train to Busan" had been launched.

Although Chen Fei did not go to the opening ceremony, Natasha went there in his stead.

Zhang Changyuan, an old boy, was very good at getting things done. He put Natasha into a good mood and temporarily saved his status as president.

But now his position is not too stable. The day when "Train to Busan" is released will really determine whether he can secure his position as president.

When DiCaprio came to visit the cast of "The Hunger Games", he even brought a big gift to Chen Fei to thank him for choosing him to be the male protagonist.

"Fei, if it weren't for you, my net worth and salary wouldn't have been able to rise again."

"What? Your film salary has increased again?" Chen Fei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

When he was filming "Inception", DiCaprio's salary was already a bit unbearable for him. But now it's good, this guy's salary has jumped up a lot, and he really can't afford it in the future!

"Haha, don't be too surprised. Isn't this a good thing? And your director's salary has also increased a lot. We call this a win-win situation!"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

He doesn't take on external dramas. He gets a share of the profits internally, so it doesn't really mean much whether the price goes up or not.

"I hope this number one spot on the North American film history list can be maintained for a longer period of time. It would be best to dominate it for twelve years like "Titanic"!"

"Huh? You're quite brave to think about it."

Chen Fei shrugged, noncommittal.

He is actually planning to draw a celebratory poster for "Avatar". Although "Inception" cut off part of the former's luck, it does not mean that it can suppress the former.

Cameron's level is among the best in Hollywood. Coupled with the full 3D picture of "Avatar", this is no less than a blockbuster for the semi-3D "Inception"!

Anyway, in Chen Fei's own opinion, perhaps because of the appearance of "Inception", "Avatar" cannot reach its peak global box office of 2.9 billion US dollars, but it should be easy to break 2 billion US dollars.

But he doesn't mind now, after all, he still holds the "Marvel" trump card.

"Avengers 4: Endgame" IMAX-3D is fighting your "Avatar"!

Before Xiao Lizi left, there was a scene of "turning back three times in one step". His hesitant tone made Chen Fei's teeth sore when he saw it. It seemed like a young couple breaking up.

"Hey, you have something to say and fart, if you keep acting like this, I'll ask someone to take you out!"

"Fei, I have always had a high desire for Oscar. Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

Chen Fei was a little helpless. Those in the academy really didn't seem to like DiCaprio very much, and he would always lose every time he was nominated.

In other words, it actually means testing him?

"If there is a suitable script for the Olympics, I will contact you."

As he spoke, Chen Fei looked at him and pointedly said, "Also, I personally think that if you want to challenge yourself, you might as well pay attention to your own image."

Image? ? ?

Leonardo was stunned for a while, seemed to realize something, nodded slightly, and left the set without saying anything else.

Image is indeed a "gap" that is difficult for him to overcome. Being too handsome is not all good. For example, if you want to win an award, you must work twice as hard as others!

…

It's late September, and the box office growth of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is still very stable, reaching 300 million yuan very smoothly.

Many media have made predictions. If this trend continues, it may be possible to break 400 million, chase 500 million, and exceed 600 million!

The movie channel held an exclusive interview program with Han Sanping.

When talking about the box office, San Ye was delighted, "We never pay attention to the box office. The purpose of the gift film is to let the Chinese people see the deeds of that era and experience the hard-won happy life now. As for how much the box office can earn, I'm not interested."

Jing Wei resisted the urge to laugh!

Look at what they said, ‘I’m not interested in the box office.’ You’re so pretentious!

At the end of the exclusive interview, Jing Wei congratulated as usual: "Although the Korean director is not interested in box office, the quality and box office performance of this movie are so good, I believe it will definitely break a new record.

So here, I would like to congratulate Director Han in advance for being promoted to the 600 million box office director club! "

"I have never dared to think of it this way..."

Han Sanping was so happy that she could hardly stop.

After a one-month release period, "Guild Wars" finally closed successfully with a box office of 185 million yuan.

For a movie with an investment of no more than 30 million, this is already considered a great success.

When Media Asia held a celebration reception, they took advantage of this opportunity and announced the preparation plan for the "Anti-Corruption Storm".

"The screenwriter is still Director Chen."

Just these seven words directly aroused the enthusiasm of all Hong Kong celebrities and artists present.

The news spread that night. In addition to Xiangjiang, many people in the mainland also paid attention.

Tangren, Huayi, Chengtian, Shiwen Culture, Guangguang, Wanda...

For Chen Fei, this kind of Hong Kong film is purely for him to earn pocket money. It doesn't matter whether the box office is high or low. As long as he doesn't lose money, he won't invest more energy in paying attention to it.

But for other companies, this kind of movie with a box office that can steadily exceed 100 million is simply an excellent and high-quality resource. If they don't get together quickly, there will be no such store in this village!

As usual, Chen Guofu sent an invitation letter to the premiere of "The Wind" to Chen Fei's mailbox.

Ning Hao also received one and muttered, "Hold the premiere at Nortel? What's the idea? Do you also want to drive college students to watch the movie like "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"?"

"I don't know." Fade Chen shook his head and turned to look at him, "Do you want to go back? I can give you a holiday and go back to accompany your sister-in-law."

"No! I don't want to! The filming is in its final moments, how can I leave! Don't say anything like this again!"

The pain of a middle-aged man is beyond the imagination of a young man like Chen Fei. He went back for the Huabiao Awards last time, and his legs were so weak the next day that he couldn't even get out of bed. It's scary to think about it!

Although he couldn't go back, Chen Fei still got a unique CD.

That night, he called Liu Yifei, Wu Jing, Li Yang, Ning Hao, and Wen Ziren to watch the movie together in the screening room of Volton Pictures.

Compared with the grandeur of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", the story of "The Sound of the Wind" is much more depressing and real, and even makes people feel angry inexplicably when watching it!

And Zhou Xun's final monologue elevated the story to a very high level!

"Just because the nation is at the point of life and death, we can only risk our lives to save the situation; my body is about to perish, but my soul will be with you; the enemy will not understand that the old ghost and the old gun are not individuals, but It’s a spirit! A belief!”

When the film ended, Ning Hao let out a long sigh, "Zhou Xun can definitely win the Best Actress Award!"

Chen Fei nodded in agreement. The revised plot no longer has two heroines. Zhou Xun's personal charm has been greatly improved. There is indeed a chance to win prizes. I just hope that those gentlemen will not be blinded.

Huayi is quite smart. Taking advantage of the popularity of the upcoming release of "The Wind", it officially submitted a listing application to the GEM.

The two Wang brothers have always been very clever in their methods of gaining popularity, which is recognized in the industry.

There were many celebrities and celebrities on the published prospectus, and among a large number of people, Chen Fei's name was extremely conspicuous.

20 million shares!

You know, even Feng Xiaogang, a long-term partner of Huayi, only holds 2.88 million shares, and Zhang Jizhong only holds 2.16 million shares.

As for other artists within Huayi Company, since the limit is 1.8 million shares, they cannot purchase more than this number.

Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun both have 1.8 million shares. Both of them received reminders from Chen Fei. As for Li Bingbin, they have 700,000 shares, Ren Quan 600,000 shares, and Zhao Liying 50,000...

The first time the media saw the prospectus, their eyes focused on Chen Fei's 20 million shares.

"Director Chen Fei is obviously optimistic about Huayi's listing and has an exclusive monopoly of 20 million shares!"

"Walton Pictures is listed. Chen Fei's net worth has exceeded 20 billion yuan. Now that Huayi is about to go public, can Chen Fei make another fortune?"

"20 million shares? I'm afraid it will be wasted..."

As the first domestic private film and television entertainment company to be listed domestically, Huayi’s application has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially Guangguang, Orange Sky, Tang Ren, etc.

If Huayi's application can be approved, it means that they also hope to list the company, which is a great channel to increase revenue!

A few days later, Chen Fei received a call from Wang Zhonglei.

"Hahaha, Director Chen, I have to tell you some good news."

"Has it been reviewed?" Chen Fei knew what he wanted to say.

"That's right, it's passed. We are preparing to go public late next month. If you have time then, let's ring the bell together."

"Okay, then let me first wish Huayi's stock soar and its market value exceed 100 billion!"

"Haha, I'd like to lend you some good words and wish you a great success at the box office."

Wang Zhonglei was very happy. After all, judging from the current situation, it was definitely not a loss to acquire Chen Fei as a shareholder. Instead, it was a very wise decision.

"I just have to give him a lot of money." Wang Zhongjun muttered a few words in a low voice.

"Small investment, big return, no loss, we don't lose, hahaha."

Wang Zhonglei smiled brightly, but he had many thoughts in his heart.

Before the company went public, it was a development model, but after it went public, it may have to make some changes.

Huayi's current main business is the film and television industry, but compared to Feiyue Film and Television, they are a little too dependent on Feng Xiaogang, which is obviously detrimental to future development.

"If you have time, go to Nortel and see if you can find some good talents in the directing and screenwriting departments? We can also try to cultivate some ourselves."

"okay, I get it!"

Wang Zhongjun nodded, looking thoughtful.

~

At the end of September, "The Wind" was officially released.

First-day box office: 15 million.

Just as the two Wang brothers had guessed before, the popularity of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was so great that it had an extremely fatal impact on "The Wind"!

Even though the former has been released for half a month, it still suppresses the latter in terms of film schedule.

If it weren't for the strong support from Pan-Asia Cinemas, the final 10 million would be considered a blessing.

But even so, in the final analysis, losing money will definitely not happen.

The original investment was not much. Although the investment in publicity and development exceeded expectations, it was still within a controllable range. If we sell the copyright later, we will definitely make a profit.

That is to say, Wang Zhongjun has a big appetite and always wants to compete with "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". Otherwise, there is no need to worry at all.

Chen Fei deliberately followed up for a few days. After learning that the weekly box office successfully exceeded 70 million, he stopped paying attention. Then he just waited for the money to be paid.

The filming of "The Hunger Games" has now come to an end. The literary and dramatic parts are all over, and now only the arena part is left.

With the assistance of Wu Jing, the action director, the action scenes of the cousin and other actors were performed very well, and the filming was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Occasionally, if he can spare some free time, Chen Fei will also pay attention to "Three Idiots in Bollywood", "Kung Fu Panda 2", "Super Body", "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", "Power" "Game 2" and the post-production of these film and television dramas, and put forward some feasible suggestions appropriately.

"Anti-Drug" has been confirmed to premiere at the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival on October 25. Yang Shoucheng called him once and specially invited him to attend.

Chen Fei refused directly on the phone. He really didn't have time to pay attention to this kind of low-cost movie, so he just let the Emperor do it himself.

On the contrary, Jiahe's new movie "Chill" was favored by him, and he even posted a video on Weibo to help promote it.

Both Yang Shoucheng and Zhuang Cheng saw this promotional video, and combined with the treatment they received in "Anti-Drug" and "Fierce Fighting", they had to secretly sigh, "The treatment of biological sons and godsons is different!"

…

The National Day holiday ended quickly. The total box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" exceeded 400 million. Han Sanping also successfully entered the mainland director's club with a box office of 400 million.

It's a pity that this movie is still unable to succeed after all, and it is probably impossible to reach 500 million.

But even so, Han Sanping was still very excited!

He was very satisfied with this result. Even Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou were left behind by him. This proved his strength!

"Celebration party...forget it, you definitely don't have time."

"Hey? Why don't you answer this question for yourself?"

"Haha, aren't I afraid that you will be busy? If you can come, I will definitely welcome you!"

Han Sanping speaks very generously, just like he usually invests in movies, and he only loves high-investment blockbusters.

"I got news from the bureau, you sent another script?" He finally revealed the purpose of making this call.

"Well, it's a low-cost martial arts movie, used to train newcomers."

Chen Fei didn't hide anything. The Busan International Film Festival was about to end, and Lu Yang would be returning to China soon. Naturally, the reward promised to him had to be prepared in advance.

"Oh, okay." Han Sanping immediately lost interest when she heard that it was low-cost and still a hands-on practice.

After paying attention to the filming progress of "The Hunger Games", he took the initiative to end the call.

"Hey, how obsessed is this old man with blockbusters?"

Chen Fei shook his head helplessly and didn't pay much attention to it, focusing on the current shooting.

…

As the time came to the 15th, the total box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was fixed at 425 million.

China Film held a grand celebration banquet.

When interviewed by reporters, Han Sanping still said the same thing, "I have to thank the fans for their support. I really didn't have much expectations for the box office. I didn't expect to create such excellent results..."

There were many production company bosses in the audience with forced smiles on their faces, but they were complaining crazily in their hearts.

"Shameless..."

In the blink of an eye, on the 17th, another news from the Busan International Film Festival spread back to China.

Lu Yang won an "Audience Award" for "Cinema for the Blind", and it was not in vain as the industry experts had expected.

"Haha, Director Chen, I'm done!"

The good news reached Chen Fei's ears immediately.

"Huh? What? A masterpiece of evil-proofing sword manual?" Chen Fei made a rare joke with him.

"Hey, don't make fun of me. I also sold the copyright. I didn't lose any money even if it didn't go to theaters. Fortunately, I lived up to my fate!"

To be honest, he was actually under a lot of pressure.

Chen Fei is so famous that none of the movies he has made since his debut has ever lost money. If something goes wrong with "Cinema for the Blind", Lu Yang will be flooded with saliva from his fans!

"Okay, if you have enough fun, come back. If not, stay a few more days, and then choose a suitable time to release it first."

"Then...then my new script..."

"Go back to Mr. Su, we're ready."

"Haha! Thank you, Director Chen!"

South Korea's kimchi Lu Yang had really had enough. As soon as the copyright fees arrived, he immediately booked a flight back to his country.

However, because I had little experience before, I was inevitably blocked by reporters at the exit after returning to China.

"Congratulations to Director Lu for winning the grand prize."

"Haha, lucky, lucky..."

"Are there any new arrangements next?"

"It's better to prepare for the release first and start some publicity work."

"Any new movie plans?"

"Director Chen said he would make arrangements for me, but I haven't received any news yet..."

The reporters responded quickly. In the afternoon after Lu Yang returned to China, there was already news about him on the Internet.

Winning an award at the Busan International Film Festival means that he has stepped into the film industry with two feet. In addition, he has signed a contract with Feiyue Film and Television, and Chen Fei also promised to arrange it for him...

There is no doubt that another new domestic director is about to emerge!

Suddenly, invitation calls for various cocktail parties appeared frequently around Lu Yang, and he actually experienced what it meant to be "hot overnight"!
