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

Ever since "Earthquake" was released and the official 'booking out' event began, the two Wang brothers have been holding their breath in their hearts.

Until the day came on August 12th, I felt relieved!

After holding the box office record for domestic movies for four years, "Mulan" directed by Chen Fei was finally overtaken by "Earthquake".

For a time, the press releases from the media were overwhelming.

""Earthquake" lasted for 30 days and grossed 640 million at the box office, successfully beating "Mulan"'s 637 million and becoming the new domestic movie box office champion!"

"The club of 600 million commercial film directors has added another person!"

"Feng Xiaogang, the new king defends his title..."

Various touting press releases have occupied the front pages of film and television information websites. The movie channel even announced that it will conduct an exclusive interview with Feng Xiaogang tonight to congratulate him on successfully breaking the domestic film box office record.

Many people in the circle are envious, but at the same time there are many sarcastic voices.

Counting all the tragic disaster films in the past, which one can achieve this kind of success?

Everyone is not a fool, and they naturally know how the 640 million box office came from. If it were not for the official support in the form of "booking out", this film would only be worth about 300 million at most.

However, despite all the awesome boasts on the Internet, no media dared to touch Chen Fei.

The mainland box office of "Inception" was 1.568 billion yuan, and the global total box office was 1.853 billion US dollars!

This achievement is like a mountain, towering over the heads of mainland directors and film and television companies, so much so that they can't even see where the top of the mountain is!

And because "Inception" is a Hollywood blockbuster, Chen Fei's talent has been directly stretched to the sky. Now Feng Xiaogang is only qualified to see his toes.

Even that afternoon, the heat originally focused on Huayi and Feng Xiaogang was forcibly taken away by Chen Fei and Feiyue Films.

The reason is that the film bureau has announced a new script that has just been reviewed.

The media caught wind of it, like wild cats that smelled the fishy smell, and rushed to get in touch.

"The domestic animated film script "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" successfully passed review. Screenwriter: Chen Fei, producer: Feiyue Film, China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda..."

"The director has identified newcomers Li Yang and Yang Yu. It is reported that these two people were the producers of "Hit! Hit a Big Watermelon!" and "The Adventures of Li Xianli"."

"According to the information disclosed by the producer, the investment in this film is as high as 30 million yuan, which will be a new milestone for domestic animated films!"

Under the joint operation of the four producers, the news about "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" spread directly throughout the entire Internet, catching Feng Xiaogang and Huayi by surprise.

Although the script has just been reviewed and the filming date is still far away, netizens are already excited.

Some people have been calling Chen Fei on the Internet before, asking him to return to China to save China Comics. If that doesn't work, he can just bring back "Kung Fu Panda".

And now, amidst the expectations of netizens, he actually took action!

"Holy shit, domestic animated movies are about to rise?"

"'Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage'? This name sounds very appropriate for the occasion. Is the Great Sage coming to save our domestic animation market?"

"As expected of Director Chen, he will really fulfill the fans' requests!"

"..."

There was a lot of discussion on Weibo and Tieba, and some people even shouted to review "Journey to the West" starring Teacher Liu.

At this time, inside Huayi.

"Fuck, they must have done it on purpose!"

Wang Zhonglei looked at the online discussions about "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and the rise of domestic animated films, his face was gloomy and he felt very unhappy.

"Earthquake" was supposed to be released today, but they still resisted the pressure and extended the key for 10 days, in order to hit the box office of 700 million.

Under the premise that the number of films scheduled continues to decrease, the prerequisite and reliance for hitting 700 million is the popularity of the Internet.

Originally, we were preparing posters to celebrate the 700 million success, but with the sudden appearance of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", the publicity effect was naturally greatly reduced.

"If you continue to buy the script, isn't it just that the script has been reviewed? It's just half a day of excitement."

Wang Zhongjun behaved quite calmly, and he felt that this would not affect the subsequent box office growth of "Earthquake".

The fact was indeed what they thought. By the next day, the online discussion about "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" had dropped a lot.

However, before they could be happy for too long, new hot news emerged.

"Enlight announced that it has officially started the preparatory work for the movie "Painted Wall", with an estimated investment of 30 million. The post-production of special effects will be carried out in cooperation with DotDing Digital."

"The cast of the movie "Painted Wall" has been announced, including Deng Chao, Sun Li, Yan Ni, Zheng Shuang, Liu Yan, Xie Nan, Bao Bei'er..."

"Enlight Media has officially entered the film field, so stay tuned..."

Wang Changtian also bought a lot of press releases. In addition, Guangguang itself was born in a media company, so he was at the ancestral level in terms of making hot searches and generating popularity.

As a result, the popularity of "Big Earthquake" was suppressed for another day.

On the third day, the premiere of "The Adventures of Li Xianli" was held, and Chen Fei personally announced at the premiere that Guo Fan would be the chief director of "Gravity"!

For a time, the media's attention focused here again.

"Newcomer director Guo Fan is about to direct "Gravity," marking the first sci-fi-themed masterpiece in a Chinese-language film to officially enter the preparation period."

"The soft science fiction work "The Adventures of Li Xianli" adapted from the animated short film is officially released. Zhu Yawen and Jing Tian team up for the first time. How brilliant will the collision be?"

""Heart Blossoms" will officially launch a promotional roadshow. Is it true that the billion-dollar box office is true?"

The popularity of "Big Earthquake" has been suppressed again...

On the 15th, "The Adventures of Li Xianli" was officially released.

At the same time, Sina Weibo published the global box office results of "Super Body".

"According to the latest data released by Volton Pictures, two and a half months after the release of "Super Body", the total global box office has reached 550 million U.S. dollars, and the revenue ratio is extremely eye-catching!"

An investment of US$40 million resulted in a total global box office of US$550 million. This ratio made many mainland film and television companies salivate.

550 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 3.6 billion when converted into RMB, which is six times more than "The Great Earthquake"!

For a time, the number of topics about Liu Yifei on the Internet surged again.

"The Great Earthquake" was suppressed again...

On the 16th, the first-day box office of "The Adventures of Li Xianli" was announced.

6.5 million!

For a movie with an investment of less than 5 million, this result is already considered very good.

The reviews on Douban are quite good. Many movie fans feel that this fusion of animation, real-life, and 3D makes this energetic time-travel drama like a piece of jam that has been poured with layers upon layers of jam. The movie becomes colorful and intriguing...

On the same day, Feiyue Pictures announced the investment amount of "Gravity".

660 million yuan.

As soon as the news was announced, the whole circle went crazy!

"What the hell? Why 660 million more? Isn't this just a 100 million dollar knife?"

"Crazy! Totally crazy! Spend more than 600 million to make a domestic science fiction movie? How much box office will it take to make back the money?"

"Holy shit, this is such a big deal! As expected of Chen Fei, worthy of Feiyue Film and Television. If this movie is completed, I can be declared a god!"

"'Gravity' seems to be about a story in space, right? So are you going to start using domestic special effects?"

"No? Are you serious? Are you kidding? With an investment of more than 600 million, you just let a new director get started? Is that possible?"

Netizens are full of various voices. Some people are worried about whether the film will be able to recoup its costs after it is made. Some people also question whether this news is true or false? What's more, some people are questioning whether Guo Fan can make this movie well?

However, just as doubts continue to ferment, on the 17th, Feiyue Film and Television announced the lineup of "Gravity".

Director: Guo Fan

Screenwriter: Chen Fei

Producer: Chen Fei

Producer: Chen Fei

Starring: Chen Fei, Liu Dehua

Supporting role: TBD...

As soon as the news was announced, the doubts on the Internet disappeared without a trace.

With Chen Fei as the lead actor and producer, even if he is just tying a dog in the director's position, this movie can definitely be shot at a high level and at a high level!

A group of new directors in the industry had their eyes turned red with envy.

Take a look at Feiyue Film and Television, which trains new directors with works that have invested tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Then when you look back and look at yourself, you can't even get an investment of one million!

Comparing people to each other is so infuriating!

"How about I also try to submit a resume? Maybe I will be accepted?"

Shen Ao, who was filming a short film in Kuhaha, was quite moved.

But he soon gave up the idea. He was a new director and didn't have any masterpieces. I was afraid he would be kicked out by the human resources department if he went there.

"I still have to find a middleman to say hello..."

He suddenly thought of Yang Mi, a classmate of Nortel's 2005 acting department. She might be a good introducer.

In fact, during the script revision process a long time ago, Chen Fei was not prepared to be the leading actor in the movie "Gravity". He just wanted to be a cool hands-off shopkeeper.

However, considering the huge investment in the film, the mainland alone will definitely not be able to recover the cost, and it will have to be sent to other countries and regions for release.

When it comes to international popularity, only he, Chen Long, and Li Lianlian are the most famous among Chinese actors.

The other two were too old to be suitable, so he had to do it himself.

"Send out the casting requirements for the rest of the supporting roles. Guo Fan, you go and audition in person. I won't care about it. Once you have selected the people, just send me the list and I will take care of the last step."

"good……"

Swallowing silently, Guo Fan felt that he was under great pressure!

As soon as he came on, he was asked to take charge of the audition. This was a big job!

Although the remaining roles are only some supporting roles, the investment in this movie is as high as more than 600 million yuan. Even if it is just a supporting role, it will definitely be a target for others to grab!

He seemed to have already seen the scene where he was surrounded by a group of top celebrities in the industry.

~

On the 18th, Feiyue Film and Television announced the audition list.

In essence, this movie is a one-man show, with Chen Fei and Liu Dehua as the main actors, and other characters only have a few scenes and a few lines at most.

But even so, Guo Fan was inundated with people who called and submitted resumes!

Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Jingchu, Li Bingbin, Fan Bingbing...

"Made, how do you get rid of these people's wool? Can you collect them all? Just arrange one or two guest scenes and lines..."

Guo Fan was so excited that his whole body was shaking!

Time soon came to the 22nd. The key period extension of "Earthquake" officially ended, and the total box office was officially fixed at 690 million yuan.

"Only ten million away! Only ten million away!"

Wang Zhonglei was almost mad. The box office increased by 50 million in ten days. If he had known that this would be the case, it would be better not to postpone it.

That guy Zhang Weiping almost mocked Huayi and put her on the pillar of shame during this period.

"It's a tragedy in itself, but it's so shameless to make money off of tragedy and sell movies in the mourning hall!"

"You're still renting out the movie? You're in the film industry. Is it fair to other movies if you do this? It really doesn't cost any money!"

"You still want me to apologize? What? You've become a bitch and still want to build a memorial arch? How shameless!"

Venomous tongue and opening map cannons are the cool moves that Zhang Weiping is very good at, and this continuous ridicule has also made the popularity of the new picture and "Hawthorn Tree Love" continue to increase, which has a great publicity effect.

For this kind of publicity that can be completed without spending money, Zhang Weiping is very enthusiastic!

Of course, the consequence of this approach is that Huayi and New Picture have completely broken up.

The two sides are now in a very tense situation, and Wang Zhonglei even has the idea of ​​​​slapping Zhang Weiping personally!

But Chen Fei, as the instigator, had a wave of "hidden merit and fame" at this time, and hid himself behind the scenes, quietly watching the two families bite each other.

With the release of "Earthquake", the number of films such as "My Beautiful Boss", "Xiu Chun Dao", "The Adventures of Li Xianli" and so on suddenly experienced another surge!

The performance of the first two movies is very impressive and they are approaching 100 million box office.

Although the latter's growth rate is slower, it is already approaching 50 million. Not only has it recovered its cost, but it has also made a lot of money.

The theme of "imagination" began to emerge in August 2010.

Although the audition work was handed over to Guo Fan, Chen Fei did not really become a hands-off shopkeeper. He had to be responsible for some preparation work.

After all, "Gravity" is a science fiction film, not a fantasy film. Many things need to be explained scientifically, which requires the help of many professional teams and personnel.

For this reason, Chen Fei specially found Han Sanping and asked him to contact the relevant departments, hoping to get support from scientific researchers.

The main story of this movie is that when the male protagonist went out to repair the Hubble Telescope, he encountered satellite debris and debris flying at high speed in space, which triggered a series of horrific crises!

Interestingly, after the protagonist experienced the Hubble telescope was shattered, the International Space Station was destroyed, companions died one after another, oxygen was lost, and power was lost, etc., he finally managed to return to the ground with the help of China's "Tiangong-1" space station. !

Although it is still 2010, and there is still more than a year before the successful launch of China's "Tiangong-1" space laboratory, the story concept of this movie is very good. On the one hand, it shows the country's booming aerospace power, On the other hand, it also expressed its expectations for the successful launch of the "Tiangong-1" space laboratory!

Therefore, in Chen Fei's view, the relevant departments will definitely give him the green light and provide him with strong support.

With this wave of "fate", my brother has "changed"!
