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

A professional award-winning director is the one most Hollywood actors would like to make friends with.

If he also has a high level of accomplishment in the field of commercial films, then the influence he creates is directly at the level of 1+1\u003e2!

So during the Oscar voting period, after learning that Chen Fei was going to win the award, many people took the initiative to call him and expressed their strong support.

Among them, Zhang Ziyi is naturally indispensable.

At a banquet organized by Bruce, Chen Fei saw this actress who has recently caused a lot of heat in the mainland.

During every Oscar selection period, Zhang Ziyi will become the envy of domestic actresses.

The reason is very simple, just because she holds an Oscar ballot.

Since the day the Oscar ballot was issued, this person has been updating the Oscar selection progress on Weibo every day, and the popularity is flying!

"Director Chen, long time no see, congratulations on your successful achievement of a 10 billion dollar box office."

Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to find him, greeted him, and asked for a photo.

Chen Fei understood what she meant, but was embarrassed to refuse, so he took a photo with her.

"The Grandmaster seems to be released today, right? Aren't you going to participate in the promotion?"

"I'll take the flight back tomorrow morning." Zhang Ziyi explained briefly, and didn't seem to want to talk more with Chen Fei. Instead, she turned to Liu Yifei.

The two walked to the side and chatted.

After a while, Miss Liu waved goodbye to her and returned to Chen Fei.

Watching Zhang Ziyi walk to the other side, Chen Fei's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and he looked at Liu Yifei curiously: "Why did she find you?"

"She wants me to save a role for her in Dear."

"Did you agree?"

"No." Liu Yifei shook her head gently: "I only promised to give her an audition opportunity, and then find a reason to decline. The role suitable for her in the film has been taken by Sister Xun."

"Oh, so that's it."

Chen Fei immediately lost the idea of ​​continuing to explore.

Zhang Ziyi's resources in recent years have been very poor. She is no longer the international Zhang who can get important roles by sitting at home.

In the past, when she was very hot with foreigners and at the peak of her career, she would not take Zhou Xun and Liu Yifei seriously.

But now it is different. The era of international Zhang has passed.

If "The Grandmaster" can harvest both box office and awards, then she may be able to hold on for a few more years, otherwise she will be completely washed up on the beach by the waves behind.

As expected, when the banquet was over and she returned to Beverly Hills, Chen Fei saw Zhang Ziyi's new Weibo.

It was still the familiar nine-square grid, which included her photos with many Hollywood stars, famous producers, and Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and others.

Although it is easy to be criticized for riding on the popularity, it must be said that the effect is really good.

The number of likes soon exceeded 100,000, and the comment area below was full of applause.

"Sure enough, although my sister Zhang has been developing in the mainland in recent years, she still has a presence in Hollywood!"

"Wow? Leonardo? Matthew McConaughey? Matt Damon? Zhang Ziyi actually knows all these people, so awesome!"

"Sister Zhang should be the only Oscar judge among the big actresses in the mainland. With this identity, she can easily crush Fan Bingbing."

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse..."

"Have any of you watched "The Grandmaster"? It's really well shot. Sister Zhang's acting is really good, especially the atmosphere of a peerless master!"

...

Chen Fei saw that many people were discussing the newly released "The Grandmaster" on the Internet, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He planned to wait until the first day box office came out tomorrow, and then go to Douban to see the comments of professional film critics and fans.

As for now, of course, I'm going to watch "Siping Youth" on Youku.

This movie was uploaded to Youku in November last year, but Chen Fei never had time to watch it, and then he forgot about it because of being busy.

If Gu Yongqiang hadn't sent him an email saying that he had signed a follow-up investment agreement with Zhang Hao, he would have forgotten about it.

As the opening film of the "Erlonghu Haoge" series of films, "Siping Youth" mainly tells the story of a young man from Siping County who calls himself Erlonghu Haoge. He was seeking revenge for his brother, but he met a beautiful girl on the way and got involved in a so-called melee while going to SP City to find her.

Although the lens is a bit shoddy, it has to be said that the style is particularly interesting.

The story brings together a series of comedy elements such as rural gangsters, beauties, romantic encounters, killers, rich second-generations, underworld bosses, etc., and is full of fighting, foul language, vulgar and funny farce plots.

The film is full of rural flavor, straightforward and explicit, vulgar dialogues, and strong northeastern dialect lines.

The rough and stiff image style, coupled with the funny and even absurd idealistic plastic gangster friendship, has the obvious signs of a strong northeastern online comedy!

Although the story of the film is not very meaningful, it is definitely a top-notch comedy if you use it to kill time.

Playing suona on the way to the battle, eating corn in a suit, brothers are like clothes, women are like siblings...

In the 73-minute video, Chen Fei was amused for at least an hour.

Finally, he couldn't help but think of the production process of this movie that Gu Yongqiang told him, and he burst into laughter again.

The production cost of 10,000 yuan, 8,000 of which was spent in KTV, 500 yuan to rent a DVD, and 300 yuan to stay in an Internet cafe for editing...

I have to say, this is definitely a group of talents!

If this kind of movie goes to the theater to sell box office, it is estimated that it will not have much box office appeal, but online platforms such as Youku are very suitable for web dramas such as "Siping Youth" to take root.

The film received 10 million hits in 3 days after it was launched, and now it has soared all the way, with the number of hits directly exceeding 100 million.

The profit gained by Youku has far exceeded the later investment, which can be said to be a sure profit.

Gu Yongqiang is also very capable of grasping the market. Recently, he has begun to look for similar works in order to get ahead of other competitors.

At the same time, Feiyue Film and Television also reached a cooperation with Youku on "The Journey of Flower".

The two parties will work together to shoot this drama, and it will be premiered on the Youku app, completely switching the broadcast of the series from offline to online.

As for Mango TV, the two parties are still in the honeymoon period for the time being, and there is no sign of breaking up?

As for the future, we have to take it one step at a time.

…

The next morning, Chen Fei got up and took out the laptop that was charging.

Opening the entertainment website, as expected, the first day box office of "The Grandmaster" has been announced by China Film.

The result of 30.9189 million is quite impressive, directly reaching Wang Jiawei's personal best result, and the box office of only one day has surpassed the total box office of "2046"!

However, the flattering voices that filled Weibo and came from actors in the circle made Chen Fei feel a little alienated.

"A director who can make an excellent film like The Grandmaster must also be a master."

"After four years of hard work, success will eventually come. With meticulous craftsmanship, a blockbuster will appear before our eyes."

"The Grandmaster shows the beauty of the Republic of China that has long been lost. It sings a elegy for the change of the great era and the lost beauty of the Republic of China. The movie contains both love and friendship, the mutual appreciation of confidants, and the responsibility of shouldering the moral responsibility..."

Compared to the collective praise of industry insiders on Weibo, when the eyes come to Douban, the evaluation is relatively objective.

Chen Fei saw that many viewers felt that this film was a bit too dull.

"Personally, I feel that the characterization in the film seems bleak, giving people the illusion that the stories of the masters have not been told in full."

"Overall, the film does continue Wang Jiawei's stylized image, but Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan seem a bit out of place in the film."

"The role of Gong Er created by Zhang Ziyi seems to be somewhat complete, but the characterization of some other characters is a little weak, such as Yixiantian played by Zhang Zhen and Zhang Yongcheng, the wife of Ye Wen, who feel that they can be ignored in the film."

It is not terrible for a movie to be controversial. As long as the box office results are bright enough and the reputation is not bad, it is a success!

Other actors are okay, but Zhang Ziyi is a little too excited.

In the morning, she sent at least ten Weibo posts to promote the film, shouting very hard and calling on fans to enter the theater to watch the film.

Various interview activities, variety shows, etc., followed one after another, for fear that others would not know that the movie she starred in was a success.

This very rare opportunity to show off herself, demonstrate strength and influence, she really lacks.

In the comment area of ​​the Weibo that promotes the movie, her fans have already started to form a team spontaneously.

Looking around, the four words "bitter and sweet" are particularly conspicuous.

It is rare that Fan Bingbing did not jump out to grab the limelight this time, but was very low-key in filming her "Legend of the White-Haired Witch".

Li Bingbin was a little excited.

"Resident Evil 5" won 42.34 million US dollars in North America, and the global total box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, which can be regarded as a small victory.

The domestic schedule has been confirmed and will be officially released on March 17.

Li Bingbin can't wait to start warming up for her new movie that will break into Hollywood.

In addition, the movies that will be released in theaters in February have also started to promote and warm up.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Perfect Match 2", "Love in Seattle", "Together"...

Nearly ten movies have started to promote and warm up, which has made major entertainment websites boil.

Some people have even opened the market and predicted how much the box office of these movies will be.

Currently, the leading film is "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directed by Stephen Chow, while the worst is "Together" starring Zhen Zixuan.

Many fans said they couldn't bear to watch it.

Zhen Zixuan and Chen Yanxi are in love?

It's so annoying just to think about it!

…

At the same time, in addition to the discussion about the box office and reputation of "The Grandmaster", there are also discussions about the annual meeting programs of major companies on the Internet.

As the company with the highest efficiency and the largest display in 2012, Feiyue Film and Television is naturally the focus of attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

Therefore, the annual meeting jointly held by Feiyue Film and Television, Feiyinghuang Agency, Dianjing Digital, and Dream Chaser Animation Studio is naturally the focus of attention of major media.

And when more than ten girl groups including Girls’ Generation, KARA, SISTAR, Wonder, and Girls all appeared at the Feiyue Film and Television Annual Conference and presented singing and dancing performances, everyone in the industry and outside the industry took notice!

The entire annual meeting was recorded and videotaped. Therefore, when all the live videos and pictures were uploaded to Youku the next day, it immediately aroused praise and pursuit from countless people!

"What the hell? What a handiwork! It's so exaggerated! It's so big!"

"??? Brother upstairs, what are you talking about?"

"Good guy, those long white legs can really enchant me to death!"

"This is called the company's annual meeting. It's so cool. There are more than ten South Korean girl groups!"

"Grandma is so stupid. In addition to the girl group, she also has 10 million in cash to give out red envelopes. How expensive is this?"

Netizens are discussing it, and so are the industry.

Wang Changtian was so surprised that he called Chen Fei and asked him how much the annual meeting cost!

"From the preparation, to recruiting the girl groups, and various bonuses, it's almost 30 million yuan."

"hiss?!"

Lao Wang took a breath of cold air and exclaimed that he couldn't compare.

He only spent around 30 million to invest in a movie, and he was still worried about whether he would lose money.

But Chen Fei was lucky. An annual meeting cost 30 million yuan. This horse riding was simply extraordinary!

After chatting for a while, Wang Changtian suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, why didn't you come back to attend the company's annual meeting? You didn't even attend such a big event?"

"I'm too busy here and don't have time." Chen Fei responded simply, and added: "And there is also an annual meeting prepared here, so we just have fun together here."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Wang Changtian responded without paying much attention.

However, when he hung up the phone and saw the news from Hollywood on Weibo, he was immediately confused.

"It is reported that Volton Pictures teamed up with Lucasfilm, DreamWorks, Marvel, Digital Light and Magic and other subsidiaries to spend up to 100 million US dollars to hold a grand annual meeting..."

If the South Korean girl groups invited by Feiyue Film and Television caused a violent response in China, then the Rolling Stones, Linkin Park, Maroon 1, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, etc. invited by Volton Pictures shocked the world. Big event!

A company's annual meeting actually made such a big noise. This was something that no one would have dared to imagine in the past!

"Hard! So cruel!"

Wang Changtian smacked his lips, not only envious, but also envious.

He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for these top European and American bands to participate in a company's annual meeting at the same time.

"If there is a chance to invite them all to the country and compete on the same stage..."

Just halfway through his fantasy, Wang Changtian came to an emergency stop.

He couldn't imagine how much it would cost to do this?

…

…

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Los Angeles office.

For the past 20 years, PricewaterhouseCoopers has been responsible for counting the Oscar votes of the Film Academy.

The college mailed out ballots to members, and after subordinate members filled out the ballots, they were mailed back not to the college, but to PricewaterhouseCoopers in Los Angeles.

For an accounting firm the size of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Oscar's business actually doesn't make much money, but it can bring huge publicity and chain effects.

Therefore, every year during the awards season, PwC will set up a special Oscar affairs office to be responsible for counting votes.

As the deadline for returning ballots approaches, the statistics for each award gradually become clearer.

In the large conference room, several accountants who were not too old were busy making statistics, and at the same time they were taking advantage of their positions to enjoy themselves.

Michelle Duchaussois was typing on the keyboard, and she did not forget to say: "The recent Oscar public relations has been so lively, these crew members are almost losing their minds."

"Indeed." A person next to him echoed: ""Escape from Tehran" was confirmed to be fiction, and "Django Unchained" was deeply involved in the email scandal. It can't be too miserable!"

At this time, another person said: "There is also "Pi", which has obviously also been targeted. Most of the mailed ballots were for the perspective special effects and art direction awards, and the acting awards are very rare."

John Walkup, who was opening an envelope in the corner, suddenly laughed and said: "It would be better to be more lively, so that our work can be much easier, haha."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other subconsciously and laughed heartily.

But at this moment, at the end of the desk, a man wearing a suit but wearing green lipstick suddenly said: "I like "Dallas Buyers Club"."

For a moment, everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked over there.

Michel Duchaussois stopped what he was doing, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

After a moment, he tentatively asked: "Mitchell, so you also became a member of that group?"

Everyone knew in their hearts that that group was the legendary "LGBT".

Everyone else in the conference room stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look over.

Mitchell Sherru did not deny it, but nodded directly and said: "Yes, from now on, you need to call me Miss Mitchell."

John Walkup said bluntly: "But you just put on lipstick and didn't make any other changes. You are still a man now."

"No! No!" Mitchell Sheru put down the envelope, stood up, and argued very seriously: "How can you define my gender at will? I just look like a man, but I am actually a woman. I just haven't had time to have surgery yet."

When these words came out, the others felt like they were struck by lightning.

Looks like a man, but is actually a woman.

How can you define someone else's gender at will?

You can even explain it like this!

Crazy!

This world has gone completely crazy!
