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

Chapter 403 Upstream and downstream are fully blooming! The future of Chinese comics is blooming at this moment! You are a guest, take a bath and massage...

"See Through" (See Through), a 16-minute long film, is an anti-war cartoon.

The story tells the story of two overlords who started a world war to compete for land. Two pilots from both sides were entangled with each other in the air. By chance, the two of them landed on a small island in the sea. The two were originally hostile. Later they became friends of life and death...

16 minutes passed by in a flash, and Chen Fei was quite unsatisfied.

Although the production is a bit rough, the scene creativity is quite excellent, the theme is meaningful without losing the core, and it expresses the disgust of war in a very humorous way.

What's even more interesting to him is that at the end of the film, he actually saw his own name!

In addition to him, there are also famous people such as Li Jian, Kurosawa Ming, Li Lianlian, Ma Yun and other famous people. Those who don't know may even think that these people are participating in the film.

Chen Fei couldn't help laughing, pointing to his name and saying: "Why don't I remember that I participated in the creation of this short film?"

Yang Yu couldn't help but blush when the showman was in front of the real owner.

He chuckled, scratched his head again, and explained with some embarrassment: "This is nothing, it's just a bit of a joke or a prank, but it's not entirely true.

In fact, the more accurate reason is that I feel that anyone who creates works should have something to say, and I just take this opportunity to express the people I admire. This is also a way to express my world view and values. …”

These words were a little messy, but Chen Fei could understand them.

"So, you approve of me, right?"

"Director Chen was joking, that's for sure! As long as you are an animator in China, we all regard you as an idol. "Wall-E" and "Kung Fu Panda", these works have had a great impact on us. Influence!"

When he said this, many people around him nodded frequently.

Not to mention those who work in animation, even among the ranks of screenwriters, actors, directors, producers, and investors, who doesn’t regard him as an idol?

"Haha, it seems I still have some influence."

Chen Fei laughed at himself, then suddenly changed his tone, looked at Yang Yu quite seriously, and said: "I see you are not old, have you signed a company? Are you interested in working with me?

I am currently preparing to explore the field of domestic animation and open an animation company to try it out. There is a shortage of outstanding talents like you! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Zhonglun, who had been silent next to him, felt his eyebrows trembling!

really!

He guessed it right!

Chen Fei is just preparing for a wave of full bloom!

Movies, TV series, Dianjing Digital... Now coupled with animation, doesn't this mean that one person has to monopolize the entire upstream industry?

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but start fantasizing again.

In this case, can Shangying also get involved?

Ren Zhonglun was just thinking when he heard Yang Yu shout excitedly, "Really...really? Mr. Chen is interested in developing into the field of domestic animation?"

Chen Fei nodded, "I signed a director a year ago, his name is Li Yang, and he has been training abroad with the crew of "Kung Fu Panda 2" for more than half a year.

He also made a short film called "The Adventures of Li Xianli", which will be released in China next month. If you are interested, you can talk more about it. "

"Okay! We must communicate! We must communicate more!"

Yang Yu is not like Wu Hanqing. He is not a conservative person.

Although he is a monk halfway, because he is a medical student, he pays great attention to details, and he is calm enough to withdraw himself from the excitement of the outside world and return to the essence of the problem.

Just like the current self-recommendation, he is well aware of his shortcomings in funding and the difficulty of domestic animation production.

But it would be completely different if he could get help from Chen Fei. He could definitely get technical support and even financial support from Hollywood, and take another big step towards his dream!

Why not do it?

After exchanging contact information with Yang Yu, Chen Fei said goodbye to him temporarily.

This is a very talented director, coupled with Li Yang who has returned from studying abroad, and financial and technical support, Chen Fei believes that the time for domestic animated films to develop has come!

He planned to wait until the visit was over and immediately asked Su Guohai to make a model of the animation department and slowly add equipment and technical personnel.

As for Yang Yu and Li Yang, these two can definitely develop into capable generals. These are proper technical talents and must be fully supported!

At this time, Chen Fei finally remembered Yang Yu's true identity.

He was born in the Sichuan and Chongqing area. He was previously educated at West China University, and his main profession is actually a doctor.

However, since he came into contact with MAYA (3D animation and visual effects software) in 2002, he began to learn animation creation and started the creation of "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon".

At the end of 2009, he co-founded the "Dumpling Keli" animation studio with producer Liu Wenxiang. This studio is the predecessor of Coco Bean Animation, which produced the movie "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

Chen Fei didn't take it seriously that Yang Yu had founded an animation studio.

Isn't it just a studio? He is famously wealthy in the entertainment industry now. Wouldn't it be enough to just merge and acquire it when the time comes?

Money is not important, the key is technology and talent!

He is not afraid that the other party will disagree. After all, studying medicine cannot save domestic animation. Only money and technical ability can save it, and Chen Fei happens to have these.

The goal has been achieved ahead of schedule, so Chen Fei naturally has no interest in continuing to visit the Shangmei Factory.

There is actually nothing interesting here. There are only a few familiar IPs over and over again, and there has been no innovation for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that there are many old people who have mastered the technology and are still working hard to stick to it, it probably won't be long before it will be available in the form of a museum.

After rejecting several leaders' invitations to treat themselves, Chen Fei and Ren Zhonglun left the Shangmei Factory by car.

"Oh, all the hard work was in vain." Someone sighed, with regret on his face.

Someone saw it clearly and said frankly, "I'm not stupid. I have so many good stories in my hands. How could I be stupid enough to invest in old IPs like us?"

"I hope he can lead domestic animation to a new route!"

The minds of the technical staff are relatively pure, and a large number of people are still optimistic about Chen Fei. After all, there are not many animation directors in the mainland who can produce animated films and make them popular.

When "Kung Fu Panda" was released in 2008, it really shocked a lot of people's jaws!

When I first learned that Chen Fei was actually the director, not only were many people on the Internet clamoring for him to save Guoman, but even some mainland animation producers were secretly praying.

But now, Chen Fei finally showed such a sign.

Maybe this is a new beginning!

…

The press release that Chen Fei came to visit the Shangmei Factory in Shanghai appeared online that evening.

"The moment Director Chen Fei stepped into Shanghai Art Factory, the future of Chinese comics blossomed at this moment..."

"The road to domestic animation needs to be opened by Chen Feilai himself!"

"Breaking news, Feiyue Film and Television will officially enter the animation field..."

The news on the Internet has caused quite a stir in the Chinese animation circle, but overall it has only caused some splashes, and is not particularly shocking.

Han Sanping didn't even bother to call to ask for details, which shows how unfavorable these mainland film companies are towards animation!

Ren Zhonglun asked a few more questions, but because the plan was still in its infancy, he couldn't get any useful information.

"Come on, you are a guest, take a bath and massage."

"Haha, Mr. Ren's proposal has won my heart. It's respectable, admirable, gratifying, and congratulatory!"

In the front row, Ren Zhonglun's driver made a sudden U-turn at the red wine lamp intersection and headed straight to the outskirts of the city.

…

After flying from Shanghai to the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", Chen Fei turned on his computer and deliberately cleared some work accumulated in his mailbox.

Over in South Korea, ShowBox sent an invitation to the premiere of "One Man".

This movie was also released during the Lunar New Year period. The starring role is South Korean actor Won Bin. It won a lot of attention during the early promotion.

ShowBox is very sure that this movie will be a hit, so they invested a lot in publicity and distribution.

However, Chen Fei probably doesn't have time to go. There is too much work in the mainland, and it will be difficult for him to leave!

In addition to emails from South Korea, he also received emails from Mr. Woody Allen.

The fourth and fifth parts of "The Twilight Saga" have officially started shooting. Shooting in 3D format is a big challenge for him. He is ready to devote himself wholeheartedly to the shooting of this movie and give his own movie A happy ending to my career.

Chen Fei replied to him by email, expressing his support and urging him to take a rest.

"If you need any money or technology, just go to Natasha..."

Because of the popularity of the first three films, the actors gradually began to feel happy. The reason for increasing investment was to appease people's hearts.

Chen Fei still wants to make a lot of money from the fourth and fifth movies. At least he has to stabilize people first. As for the follow-up... As long as the movie can be made, the rest doesn't matter.

The release of "Inception" was still going on, and Natasha would send him the global box office data every day without hesitation, and occasionally she would also send him the stock price of Waltons Pictures.

Chen Fei briefly looked through it, and suddenly found that his worth seemed to be approaching 30 billion yuan.

"What the hell? Sure enough, if film and television companies want to make big money and their stock prices soar, they still have to make money from global audiences!"

Chen Fei's ideas coincided with those of several Hollywood film company bosses.

Although Warner's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is far less brilliant than "Inception", it has been in theaters for nearly four months, and the North American box office has still exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has also successfully exceeded 900 million U.S. dollars!

This achievement has satisfied Warner Bros., which has held several celebratory receptions and also announced the start of filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)".

At the same time, Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks also made a name for themselves.

"Ice Age 3" and "Transformers 2" both exceeded 800 million knives. Although they are still far from 900 million knives, they are extremely bright compared to the previous games!

The only one that was hit hard may be Pixar Animation Studio's "Up". After being chased by several blockbusters, it finally stopped at $600 million and failed to reach $700 million.

The time is very close to the Lunar New Year period, and the film schedule information from Hollywood has been announced.

"The Hurt Locker" released by Volton Pictures is scheduled to be released on December 31, "Kung Fu Panda 2" is scheduled to be released on January 26, and as for the Indian branch's "3 Idiots" is scheduled to be released in It will premiere in India and the UK on December 18th.

However, the public's attention is almost all focused on "Avatar". As James Cameron's new 3D work, this work with an investment of up to 500 million US dollars affects the hearts of many people!

Companies such as Fox and Paramount have invested a lot of effort in it, and now they are just waiting for the release to pay off. Various promotional activities are happening all over the world!

What is even more exaggerated is that it is said that in order to prevent "Avatar" from being leaked before its release, the film's transportation was divided into two parts, code-named "Redbird."

Rolls 1-5 were shipped to other countries first, and after rolls 1-5 of film arrived at their destination, the remaining rolls 6-10 were shipped. It was a lot of painstaking work!

After eating a lot of fresh food and sending a feedback email to Natasha, Chen Fei stopped paying too much attention to things in Hollywood.

What will be launched next is the commercial film route. "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" and "Iron Man 2" are also about to meet the audience.

But there’s no rush in this, let’s wait for “Avatar” first.

Chen Fei especially wants to see if "Avatar" can still achieve the excellent results of the original time and space under the impact of "Inception"?

There are constant disputes over the Lunar New Year festival in Hollywood, and the same is true in the Mainland!

Zhang Yimou's new film "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" is almost finished. He is currently actively casting for his third new film "Jinling Thirteen Panties". He is a perfect model worker.

Fade Chen couldn't understand him anymore. He was already so old. What's the point of working so hard? In the end, he didn't know whose pocket the money went into...

Perhaps because of the soaring market value of Huayi after its listing, in addition to Pony Galloping, Wanda, and Enlight, more and more people from the mainland have begun to join the game.

In mid-November, Shanda Network and Mango Radio and Television jointly invested 600 million to jointly establish Shengshi Films!

This company has great intentions. At the press conference, it announced that it would jointly invest in the filming of the new TV series "My Fair Princess" and the movie "The Stars" with Mango TV and Modu Chuangyi Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

As a popular novel under Shanda Literature, "Star Change" has been adapted into an online game. The announcement of the filming plan will make it an entertainment product integrating novels, games, and movies.

After the news was announced, the Internet literary circle was the first to set off a wave of turmoil!

Seeing that "I Eat Tomatoes" is making a lot of money, other authors such as "The Third Young Master of the Tang Family", "Dream into the Divine Machine", "Dance", "Mao Ni", etc. can't sit still and all focus on copyright. Develop it and hope to make a lot of money from it!

But these have nothing to do with Chen Fei. He has already made plans in advance. Now let the bullets... continue to fly!

"The key period is up, do you still want to renew?"

In late November, Han Sanping called Chen Fei and asked if "Inception" would continue to be played?

"How much more new box office is there?"

"Around 2-3 million, the sharp drop is very severe. It is estimated that it will fall to more than 1 million in less than a week."

"Forget it, there's no need to continue. Let's leave the opportunity to those movies in the Lunar New Year period."

"Okay, then I will arrange for someone to send out the announcement. You can take a look and see if you want to follow up and do the final publicity..."

"Okay!" Chen Fei nodded and called Natasha to ask the publicity department to cooperate.

After ending the call with Han Sanping, early the next morning, China Film officially announced the successful release of "Inception".

"The mainland box office is 1.568 billion, a new chapter for commercial films, the excellent record of "Inception"..."

Looking at this data, the CEOs of several companies have red eyes, and their saliva is almost dripping on the table behind their backs.

1.568 billion!

Hollywood movies are so profitable!

You know, the total box office of Chinese-language movies last year was only 4.5 billion. This is the result of dozens of movies added together.

But now?

Chen Fei alone has made 1.568 billion yuan in mainland box office, which is simply outrageous!

As for the global box office, that’s even more terrifying!

$1.735 billion!

This figure is not far from the US$1.8 billion of "Titanic". It can even be said to be very close. As long as a certain country makes a little effort, it will successfully pass it.

Many people are actually ready and waiting to witness the miracle!

But before that, they had to attend the celebration banquet held by China Film Group for "Inception".

The venue for the celebration banquet was the CPPCC Auditorium.

Celebrities from all walks of life came together, and the media, reporters, and paparazzi stood in front of the wall of security guards, rushing one after another, for fear that they would not be able to take a wonderful picture.

There were even people on Weibo who were very proud of themselves for getting the invitation letter. A bunch of people liked it and their envy was palpable.

Chen Fei was blocked as soon as he entered the venue. He finally got rid of a bunch of reporters, and was stopped by the bosses of several film and television companies to socialize.

When he finally found a chance to sit down, Ye Ning calmly sat down next to him with a glass of red wine.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, you will soon be promoted to the most profitable boss in the world."

"Mr. Ye is not bad. He is the CEO of Wanda Pictures and has great success."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

After chatting for a while, Ye Ning looked around to make sure no one was approaching, and then she mentioned the purpose of chatting with Chen Fei.

"Wanda's downstream industries have been basically stabilized. We officially entered the upstream industry last month with the goal of fully developing film investment, production, and distribution businesses!"

Chen Fei just listened to him quietly, waiting for him to express his true purpose.

"We have money and theater resources. I know that these are nothing to Mr. Chen now, because you only need to wave your hand and there are many people willing to invest.

But I think if our two companies can join forces, we may be able to create extraordinary results. Production and cinema are our two strengths, and our cooperation can completely crush other companies..."

Ye Ning talked a lot and even drew a beautiful blueprint for Chen Fei.

"We only provide money and resources, and arrange the films at a profit. The right to speak is completely controlled by Director Chen, and you will never interfere in any arrangements..."

This sentence shows Wanda's highest sincerity, and also gives Chen Fei enough respect!

"Mr. Ye, are you interested in playing domestic hard science fiction with me? Let's try to see if the water is deep or shallow?"

Hearing this, Ye Ning was slightly stunned.

After a moment, he asked tentatively: "Is it that "Gravity"?"

"That's right." Chen Fei nodded and said bluntly: "If everything is suitable, I can be the protagonist and use my personal influence to try to push domestic science fiction films to the outside world."

"Of course I'm interested!!!"

Ye Ning was immediately overjoyed, this was great news!

Berlin's best actor's new film, top investment, domestic science fiction test masterpiece...

Not to mention China Film Group, Wanda is also hungry for this type of movie!
