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

"Mr. Han, Mr. Ren, Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye, Director Huo, Mr. Xu, haha, warmly welcome you all to my small company."

In the conference room, Chen Fei warmly received several giants and representatives in the domestic film and television industry so far.

It is no exaggeration to say that these few people can completely determine the rise and fall of the domestic film and television industry!

And the reason why he brought them together was because he wanted to play a big one.

If successful, this will be another miraculous event!

Guangguang's Wang Changtian laughed: "Mr. Chen, although your company is small, there are big people living in it!"

Just after the first half of 2005, the investment income ranking list of the mainland film and television industry has been released.

According to statistics, Chen Fei's Feiyue Film and Television Company directly crushed Huayi with its "No Man's Land", confirming the title of "the most profitable company" in the film and television industry.

Not to mention 2004, a movie called "The Stone" and a movie called "Car Racing" directly established Chen Fei's status as a top domestic director, and also allowed him to successfully secure the first place in the film and television investment return rate list.

What is this concept?

This means that the 21-year-old college student in front of me can already be on an equal footing with the CEOs of film and television agency companies who have been in business for many years.

Now, he has broken into Hollywood and become a partner of Universal Pictures.

The filming of "Unfortunate Journey" has just been completed, and this guy has released a new movie. How can they not be jealous?

In the previous productions, Chen Fei has always brought China Film, Shanghai Film and the eight major established film studios in the mainland to play. This makes Enlight, Bona, and Wanda very envious, but there is nothing they can do about it.

As soon as this "Chinese Partner" took off, the three companies eagerly joined in.

Originally, they thought that Chen Fei would not take them to play this time, but they never expected that they actually received an invitation letter!

This is clearly a good sign.

What they didn't expect was that when they came to Chen Fei's company today, they discovered that more than half of the top film and television companies in the domestic film and television industry were here!

What on earth does he want to do?

…

Several people sat down at the conference table, and an employee thoughtfully handed them hot tea.

"This is a new script I wrote."

Chen Fei smiled and distributed the script of "Partners in China" to several people present.

While everyone was reading the script, he explained: "This is a story based on the three founders of "New Oriental".

The content has been affirmed by Mr. Xu, Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang of New Oriental. Today, Mr. Xu is here as the representative. "

New Oriental was founded in 2001. Although it has not yet gone public, its status in the domestic education industry is already very high.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's New Oriental is completely the "Yellow Pu Military Academy" in the education and training world, and it has an irreplaceable position among college students.

Therefore, if you create a script based on these three characters, you don’t have to worry about not having a sense of immersion.

…

After spending half an hour reading the script, Yu Dong from Bona took the lead and said: "Director Chen, I won't say anything else. Just tell me how we can cooperate this time."

Chen Fei's ability has been verified by the market.

Three movies have grossed over 100 million in box office, won the Golden Bear Award, and been certified by Hollywood...

It is no exaggeration at all to say that as long as Chen Fei shouts the words "I need investment" now, even if they have not seen the script, there will be a bunch of people rushing to give money!

Is Kefeiyue Film and Television short of money?

Not lacking.

What's more, with two companies, China Film and Shanghai Film, there is no need to worry about not getting investment.

So he called so many companies over today, he must have other purposes!

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Chen Fei smiled slightly, "It's very simple. I want this movie to have a box office and a double success in awards. I want to try for the Golden Statue, the Golden Horse, the Hundred Flowers, the Golden Rooster, and the Chinese Watch." try!"

"hiss!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Han Sanping took a breath.

Be obedient and boom!

This game of chess is too big!

Ren Zhonglun's first thought was to question, "Is this...is this possible?"

Chen Fei, "Everything depends on human effort. When the ending does not appear, everything is possible."

He was also unambiguous and said bluntly: "The reason why I invite you all here is that I want you all to contribute together. I will produce the content and you will provide the resources. We will enjoy the benefits together and enjoy the fame together. After all, win-win cooperation has always been mine." motto.

I will handle the script, filming, and production. I will take 30%, and each of you will get 10%. Let’s try to cooperate once.

If the process goes smoothly and the results meet expectations, this will also lay a solid foundation for our long-term cooperation in the future.

Of course, if anyone doesn't want to, I won't force you, just get up and leave now. "

After saying that, Chen Fei slowly took his seat and waited quietly for everyone to make a decision.

As expected, no one chose to leave.

We are not fools, you can tell whether the quality of the script is good or bad.

Even if you can't win all the awards like Chen Fei said in the end, you will definitely not be able to escape the high box office!

This is destined to be a business that will not lose money, and it can also successfully connect with Chen Fei and lay the foundation for future cooperation. Only a fool would choose to leave.

Huo Wenxi stood up first and said: "I believe Director Chen, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance. The Emperor will definitely not slack off at the Academy Awards."

There are a total of three conditions to be eligible to participate in the Academy Award selection.

One: The director is from Hong Kong.

Two: Among the investors are Hong Kong film and television companies.

Three: There are more than six Hong Kong actors in the film.

As long as you meet two of the above conditions, you can participate in the selection of the Academy Awards.

This is also the reason why Chen Fei asked Emperor to join.

As Huo Wenxi took the lead in expressing his stance, several other people suddenly became unable to sit still and stood up one after another to express their willingness to cooperate.

A business that is sure to make money without losing money, and it can also make friends with Chen Fei, a cutting-edge business district director...

Only a fool would refuse!

…

The reporters were still waiting outside the company door until 12 noon, when they saw a group of big guys coming out.

Someone wanted to go up for an interview, but was stopped outside by the bodyguards.

News about the cooperation with "China Partners" was not immediately revealed. After all, it was just a verbal agreement.

Chen Fei has already made an agreement with the CEOs of several companies to hold a press conference when the contract is officially signed to spread the news of the cooperation.

Although this is not a big production, the meaning of the film is different, and it is completely possible to cooperate in the name of jointly creating the "Chinese Dream".

As expected, in the afternoon, the front pages of the three major portal websites were blasted!

[Breaking news: Chen Fei, chairman of Feiyue Film and Television and famous emerging director, met with major film and television agency giants at the company this morning. 】

After the news report came out, countless rumors were flying all over the place.

Some people say that Chen Fei is going to make a big production, others say that these companies will launch strategic cooperation, and some even say that Chen Fei participated in a Class A special effects blockbuster in Hollywood, but due to lack of funds, A number of companies were invited to cooperate.

As these news broke, the popularity of "Initial D" was suddenly suppressed, and the popularity of the movie Huayi collaborated with Feng Xiaogang also dropped sharply.

Seven film and television agencies, plus one New Oriental...

This is about to take off!

The entrance of the company was crowded with reporters, and a steady stream of phone calls came in. Many people were asking whether Chen Fei had plans for a new film, and whether he had any reserved role slots?

Chen Fei turned off his phone directly.

bother!

He doesn't really like to go through the process of interviewing actors, because after the script comes out, the suitable main role has almost been decided.

As for the supporting actors, just let Ning Hao find them by himself. He doesn't have time to take care of them.

Of course, Chen Fei still had to make the final decision when choosing the actors. He didn't want the film he worked so hard to make to be taken off the shelves due to someone's influence.

What he didn't expect was that that afternoon, Wanda's vice president Ye Ning brought him a little girl.

"Director Chen, let me introduce to you. This is a contracted artist from a friend's company of mine. Her name is Jing Tian."

"Hello, Director Chen."

The little girl was a little shy. After timidly saying hello, she stood quietly next to Ye Ning and secretly looked at Chen Fei.

She already knew who she was going to see before she came.

Chen Fei, the second domestic director of commercial films with a box office of 100 million yuan, winner of the Golden Bear Award, and a partner of Universal Pictures Hollywood...

His resume is really rich!

The most terrifying thing is that he is only 21 years old this year, only 4 years older than me.

Jing Tian?

The flower of wealth in the world?

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and carefully looked at the little girl in front of him.

Very beautiful, not the kind of delicate, fresh and refined beauty similar to Liu Yifei, but the quiet and gentle beauty similar to the ancient "ladies".

"Well, you're good."

Chen Fei smiled and nodded, then set his sights on Ye Ning and said bluntly: "Mr. Ye, the main actors have been decided, and there is no suitable role for her."

He subconsciously thought that Ye Ning wanted to promote this movie heroine.

Putting aside her acting skills, her age is not suitable at all. There is no suitable role for her in this movie, not even a supporting role.

"Director Chen misunderstood." Ye Ning quickly explained: "Jing Tian is just a newcomer, and the company has decided to let her debut as a singer."

singer?

Chen Fei was a little confused, "Then what? I can't write songs either."

"We want to find a director to shoot her music video."

"Find me?"

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not." Ye Ning smiled bitterly: "Director Chen is really good at joking. You are a Golden Bear Award-winning director for directing Hollywood blockbusters. How dare we invite you?"

Fade Chen's lips raised slightly, "If you can afford the price, it's not impossible."

"Oh?" Jing Tian suddenly interjected: "How much is Director Chen's directing fee?"

"6000000."

The moment this number appeared, Ye Ning and Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems... not a lot, right?

But then, Chen Fei added two words with a smile, "US dollars."

"..."

The two fell silent for a moment.

6 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, is 48 million? !

Spend half a million to hire a director to shoot a MV? Not to mention that Jing Tian was just a newcomer, not even Zhou Jielun would dare to do this.

After a moment of silence, Ye Ning explained his purpose: "I would like to ask Director Ning Hao to help me."

"Okay." Chen Fei shrugged with some disappointment, "I'll send you his phone number, and you can contact him personally. He can decide this aspect of the business himself."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen."

After thanking her, Ye Ning added: "If there is any role suitable for Jing Tian in Director Chen's new movie in the future, please let me know and I will call her to audition."

"good."

Nodding, Chen Fei sent the two of them away from the company.

…

After the verbal agreement on cooperation was agreed upon, time seemed to press the accelerator button.

The 25th arrived in a blink of an eye.

"Blue and Red" has completely given up its struggle, with only a few hundred thousand box office left every day.

"Initial D" is still very popular. In six days, the box office has exceeded 30 million!

Some people predict that if this increase is followed, the final box office is likely to exceed the 100 million yuan mark!

When he saw this report, Chen Fei curled his lips.

The consumption intensity of the student group is indeed quite high, but no matter how high it is, there is a limit. It is inevitable to exceed 50 million, but it is absolutely impossible to exceed 100 million.

Of course, these have nothing to do with him. The most important thing at the moment is to get the signing conference of "Partners in China" done.

Counting his Feiyue Film and Television Company, there are eight investors in this film!

On the day of the signing conference, when Chen Fei announced this situation, the reporters at the scene were immediately confused.

According to the most popular speculation on the Internet, these companies should have obtained investment shares in Hollywood blockbusters.

But I never expected that the reason for these companies to cooperate was just for a feature film with an investment of only 40 million?

A reporter from Sina asked curiously: "Director Chen, is there anything special about this movie? Why does it need so many investors?"

Chen Fei responded with a smile: "I want to help them create the "Chinese Dream" together."

Many people said they didn't understand, but Chen Fei did not continue to explain too much, but left a huge suspense!

As for the heads of several other companies when faced with reporters' questions, Ji Feng was even more aggressive than the others. Anyway, he did not disclose the specific content.

This was also specifically requested by Chen Fei.

He is not going to promote this movie in the conventional mode, but is going to keep it tight and let the audience watch it with strong expectations on the day it is released.

To create the Chinese dream together, we should strengthen ourselves!

…

The signing ceremony press conference lasted less than half an hour and ended.

The reporters walked in confused and walked out confused, looking at each other with confusion on their faces.

What kind of press conference is this?

What on earth did he post?

That afternoon, when the details of the press conference were reported on major portal websites and entertainment newspapers, netizens who were full of expectations were also stunned.

"China Partners" and eight investors jointly create the Chinese dream.

All the news was reported around these three elements, but not a word was mentioned about the specific content of the film.

What did Tama announce?

For the first time, reporters from major portal websites and entertainment newspapers encountered abuse and complaints from netizens.

I ask you to attend the press conference to get first-hand information.

Fortunately now, I didn’t get even a single sentence about the specific content of the film, and only got a summary of the script.

Who wants to hear a summary of the script?

We want to know more news!

However... just as reporters swarmed outside Feiyue Film and Television Company the next day, they got a piece of news.

Chen Fei flew to Hollywood overnight.

A group of reporters were furious!

"You horse rider, are you treating us like monkeys? Are you playing around in circles?"

"Mad! I'm so angry! I'm going to hack him!"

"What kind of black magic?"

"Didn't you notice that Huayi is not among the investors this time? Just follow this."

"Yes! Wang Jinghua ran away and was suspected of joining Feiyue Film and Television Company. Chen Fei and the Wang brothers completely turned against each other..."

"Okay! That's it! Find a few more angles and analyze it in depth. It will definitely arouse some excitement."

…

Just when a group of reporters were planning to "revenge" Chen Fei, he had already arrived at the Los Angeles Airport.

It was still Bruce who picked him up personally.

"Fei? Should we go to the hotel first? Or go directly to Lionsgate headquarters?"

"To Lions Gate."

As he spoke, Chen Fei took out the small jar he carried with him from his bag.

When I unscrewed the lid, I saw three slices of sun-dried orange peel inside.

He put it all into the water glass and waited for the color of the boiled water to turn slightly yellow. Only then did he drink the water in one gulp with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another small jar from the bag.

After pouring the soaked orange peels out of the water glass and putting them all into another small jar, he sighed secretly.

The method of soaking in water is over. When you have time, grind the soaked orange peel into powder and pour it into the flour to make dumplings.

system:"……"

"Fei? You seem to like oranges very much? I specially bought some for you as a gift."

In front of a traffic light intersection, Bruce took a plastic bag from the back seat and handed it to Chen Fei.

There are more than ten large yellow oranges inside.

"Thank you, Bruce, I don't actually like oranges."

"???"

dislike?

Bruce scratched his head in confusion, his face full of confusion.

He ate the pulp of oranges, soaked orange peels in water, and specially collected the peels after soaking in water...

And now you tell me that you don't actually like oranges?

"Chinese people are really weird. They obviously like it very much, but they still say they don't like it..."

Chen Fei looked at the American who kept mumbling with some confusion, "What did you just say?"

"Oh, it's okay." Bruce quickly changed the subject: "Fei, why do you think Lionsgate is so keen on that movie "Dead Silence"?"

This sudden return to Hollywood was because of the script "Dead Silence".

Chen Fei originally did not plan to sell "Dead Silence" immediately. He planned to wait for "Fast 3" and "Get Out" to be released before selling it.

By that time, I would have gained quite a reputation in Hollywood, and I would be able to talk about cooperation with other companies.

Even if the selling price doesn't meet his expectations, at worst he can just shoot it himself. Anyway, he has his own film and television company in Hollywood.

I just didn’t expect that Lionsgate seemed determined to get this script.

From the initial buyout, to the 20% profit share, to the current 20% box office share...

Lionsgate continues to give away profits.

Chen Fei was a little moved.

Since they want it so much, why not just sell them the script and put your eggs in more baskets, which will also help your development in Hollywood.

No matter where you are, if you can gather a huge community of interests behind you, it will be beneficial to future development.

And in addition to the cooperation with Lions Gate, other work must also continue.

Although he does not have the final editing rights of Super 3, he still needs his assistance during the editing process, especially some of the racing scenes, and he needs to point out the particularly exciting clips.

Moreover, the pre-planning work for "Escape" has been completed, and he is also needed to direct and shoot.

On the other side, Natalie is also preparing for the pre-shooting of "The Man from Earth" and is waiting for him to make a casting decision.

in conclusion:

busy!

Very busy!

And more importantly, new tasks are refreshed.
