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

On November 2, Huayi announced through the media the first-day box office results of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven".

16.1227 million.

If you compare it with "Love at the Hawthorn Tree", this result is already pretty good, but if you compare it with "The Great Earthquake" and "Heart Blossoms", it's simply a complete mess!

Some media focused on what Chen Fei said at the premiere.

"Over 300 million, chasing 400 million..."

According to the first-day box office data released by Huayi, the final result should not be much different from what Chen Fei said.

For a time, the word "to the point" suddenly spread in the film circle.

It probably means that Chen Fei has extremely strong analytical skills and can accurately predict the box office performance of a movie after its release every time.

After hearing this, Jiang Wenle happily called and asked him to help analyze the final box office performance of "Let the Bullets Fly."

Chen Fei did not give him an accurate data, but said that there might be a big surprise then, so he should be mentally prepared.

For a moment, Jiang Wen felt a little confused...

Wang Changtian also joined in the fun, and specially invited Chen Fei to see some of the negatives of "Painting Walls" that had been shot at the Light, hoping that he could give some guidance.

After reading it, Chen Fei was silent for a while, but in the end he didn't hit him.

"Mr. Wang, it is actually difficult to judge this before the film is completed and all the post-production special effects are completed, but judging from the effect of this part of the film alone, you will definitely not lose money..."

"That's good, as long as you don't lose money, haha, it's rare for you to come here, brother. Let's go, I'll treat you to a treat. I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight!"

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the four words "will not lose money" were enough to make Wang Changtian so excited that he couldn't sleep.

I have lost a lot of money in several movies I invested in before. It is not easy to have a project that does not lose money. This is already a good start.

But in fact, there are many words that Chen Fei did not say out loud, such as:

"It was originally just a story about visiting a brothel, and the investment was very small, and the special effects chosen were not high-end. How could we expect it to make a lot of money?"

Although "Painted Wall" has enjoyed a lot of popularity from "Painted Skin", the difference between the two is simply a matter of clouds and mud. Putting aside the other things, the former's thin story line destined it not to win. Too much box office.

Perhaps in order to please Chen Fei, Wang Changtian also specially called a group of people from the "Painting Wall" crew into the box, and took turns toasting to him.

Chen Fei subconsciously raised his head and saw Zheng Shuang in the crowd at a glance.

If you put aside the flaws in character and just look at appearance, she and Jing Tian should be considered to be on the same level.

Both of them belong to the "little fairies" level in the eyes of fans.

However, character cannot be ignored. Girls will eventually turn into that crazy person who lies constantly and has an unstable mental state!

Chen Fei still clearly remembers that when he was in Hengdian, he saw Zheng Shuang playing with Zhang Han. The method was so brilliant that it was filmable!

"Senior, let me toast you."

Zheng Shuang held the wine glass, pretending to be an innocent little white flower, and timidly came up to say hello, hoping to get Chen Fei's attention.

Her requirements were not high, she just wanted Chen Fei to remember her name.

The reason why she didn't introduce herself was because she wanted Chen Fei to take the initiative to ask her, so that the two of them could chat for a few words, which would naturally deepen her image in his mind.

However, what made her despair was that she didn't get any response, only a nod.

Before she could say anything more, Liu Yan next to her pushed her aside, completely putting an end to her daydreaming.

…

Huayi was obviously not satisfied with the current box office results of "Detective Dee", so it once again stepped up its promotional efforts.

The effect was still there. After the third day of screening, the total box office successfully exceeded 70 million!

There was a roar of cheers online, creating a sense of victory.

It's a pity that on the fourth day, I was beaten back to my original shape...

While filming "Gravity", Chen Fei took the initiative to pay attention to online reviews, especially those articles by film critics.

A doctor from Zhejiang University published an article saying: "There are many religious factors in the scene arrangement of the movie, such as the Buddhist "Tongtian Pagoda", the Confucian "Mingtang", the Taoist "Wuji Temple" and the church, which outlines the coexistence of multiple religions at that time. .

This novel special effects display is great, the picture is majestic and beautiful, and it deserves praise!

It is a pity that the depiction of these buildings is only superficial and does not show their deeper meaning. For example, the display of Mingtang does not reflect its meaning of worshiping ancestors, and the twelve zodiac statues in Wuji Temple are even more Arrangements that do not conform to historical facts can easily mislead the audience to a certain extent..."

Professor Yin of Tsinghua University said: "This film can be seen as a collection of Xu Ke's own style. The eerie scenes and strange characters all reflect his unique expressive power.

Of course, I would also like to commend "Dianjing Digital" here for its strong visual impact in scenes such as the fight with the sacred deer and the collapse of the giant Buddha. It is indeed the number one special effects company in the mainland, and it truly deserves its reputation!

The only pity is that the film tends to be utilitarian, mixing martial arts, suspense, history and other genres, forming a mixed movie aesthetic, but also resulting in a lack of overall sense..."

Seeing this, Chen Fei knew that this wave was absolutely stable, and the reputation of "Diagram Digital" was completely established!

The feedback from Su Guohai also confirmed his guess. The movie was only released for three days, and the number of orders for the special effects department surged!

"Mr. Chen, someone wants to do special effects and asked us if we can do it on credit."

"Who?" Chen Fei was a little confused. Could it be another acquaintance?

Su Guohai gave a brief introduction, "The other party seems to be called Juli Pictures. The movie they made is called "The Legend of White Snake". They also invited Li Lianjie to guest star and claimed to have invested 200 million..."

Juli Pictures?

Hearing this name, Chen Fei immediately became happy.

Isn't this just a shameless person, and he only signed a contract with Huang Shengyi, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it!

"You have to invest up to 200 million yuan to do special effects on credit? What do you think? Do you think we are running a welfare home?"

Chen Fei refused without thinking. Doing special effects on credit? I really treat myself as a dish.

You are so proud, why don’t you fly an aircraft carrier?

…

On November 5th, "The Twilight Saga 5" held a grand premiere in North America!

As for the specific size, you can refer to each Oscar ceremony.

Although Chen Fei did not invite his friends in his own name, everyone still came to the scene in a tacit understanding, adding a lot of popularity to the premiere.

"Eh? Leon? What's wrong with you? Did you get dumped by your girlfriend?"

Leonardo, who is usually enthusiastic and likes to chat up female celebrities the most, is surprisingly a little wilted today, as if his body has been hollowed out.

"Oh, don't mention it." Xiao Lizi sighed, obviously not wanting to answer this question.

However, how could Matt Damon on the sidelines give up this opportunity to make fun of his friend?

He suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Fei, do you know, Kate and her husband are divorced."

Um? !

Chen Fei's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

When filming "Inception", Kate Winslet's husband visited her class several times. The couple acted quite sweet. Why did they suddenly divorce?

He suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Leonardo, and said with some surprise: "Leon, you...you won't be someone else's third party, right? Don't you only like people under 26 years old? ?How can you interfere in other people's marriages?"

"Oh! No! I didn't!"

When it comes to reputation, Xiao Lizi will finally be unable to sit still.

Matt Damon was holding back his laughter and helped explain, "Actually, the reason is still the movie "Revolutionary Road", when Leon and Kate had a very exciting sex scene in it... Well, you know...

Then Kate's ex-husband happened to be the director of the show. He didn't say anything during the filming, but soon after the filming, the two had conflicts and ended the marriage completely. "

Chen Fei: "???"

Mudd, maybe this guy suddenly awakened to some cuckold fetish while filming a movie? And then you resumed it after the shooting?

Leonardo sighed, his face full of depression, "I drank too much that night. When I went out and was interviewed by the media, I admitted in a daze that it was because of me that their marriage came to an end..."

Chen Fei: "..."

Therefore, public figures should try not to drink too much, because you never know what will happen after drinking!

Just like Xiao Lizi, in the eyes of the media, he has become a "third party" who interferes in other people's marriages.

Of course, Hollywood's attention to this kind of news will not last long, so there is no need to engage in crisis public relations.

What's more, Li Zi's image does not require such crisis public relations. Changing different women is already a major characteristic of him, because his personality is... amorous!

At the same time, at the same time that Volton Pictures held the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga 5", the domestic midnight screenings had already begun.

In October, the creative team had already gone to China once to promote the film. At that time, Chen Fei also participated in several events. Now they are just waiting for the final box office results.

Naturally, there is no need to think too much about the number of films scheduled. Dozens of domestic theater chains have followed Chen Fei in becoming popular in the past few years, so of course they have to show it now.

According to the news Chen Fei received, all 3D shows and IMAX theaters in China have now been replaced by "Twilight 5". All those pseudo-3D movies have been removed from the shelves, and the theaters are taking practical actions to punish him. Expressed full sincerity.

At this time, the screening at the North American premiere has also begun.

The movie still adheres to the characteristics of grand scenes and beautiful scenes. Everyone's acting skills are all online, showing a very high degree of sincerity.

The villain made a strong appearance from the beginning, giving people a strong sense of suffocation and making the fans at the scene tremble.

But in the end, with the rapid growth of the protagonist group, the big villain finally died under the night sky!

As the last part of the Twilight series, Chen Fei set a tone at the beginning of the script design, making sure to make fans feel that this is a qualified finale.

Woody Allen did not disappoint him, and the happy ending met everyone's expectations.

At the end of the screening, there was thunderous applause, accompanied by bursts of sobbing.

Four years have been enough for the girl who was deeply in love with "Edward" and "Bella" in high school to grow up.

And with the release of "Twilight 5", youth has come to a successful end, and "feelings" have exploded with extremely powerful power at this moment!

Because the mainland was released half a day earlier than Hollywood, Chen Fei was the first to get the first-day box office results of "Twilight 5" in the mainland.

"3D theater + IMAX giant screen theater + ordinary 2D, the total box office on the first day was 190 million yuan."

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping looked at the box office data in her hand with a complicated expression.

He originally thought that "Inception" and "The Road to Love" were already great, but he didn't expect that there was a big bomb waiting behind them!

"Okay." Chen Fei responded and was about to hang up.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Han Sanping quickly stopped him and asked in a very expectant tone: "With such a high first-day box office, do you think it is possible to beat the 1.5 billion of "Inception"?" ?”

In 2010, the total box office in mainland China was only 1.5 billion short of breaking 10 billion. Han Sanping has issued a military order to the bureau to break 10 billion this year!

Although there will be a Lunar New Year slot later, and it is absolutely no problem to break through tens of billions, the earlier this thing breaks, the better it can show his political achievements during his reign, so he set his goal on "Twilight 5".

It's a pity that Chen Fei gave him a negative answer without hesitation, "For this kind of fan-oriented movie, the early data is usually very high, but in the later period, it will definitely experience a wave of decline.

There may be hope for breaking 1 billion, but there is probably no hope for breaking 1.5 billion. "

Han Sanping was not unhappy at all, "Hey, it's okay to break 1 billion! Can't we just make up for the remaining 500 million with "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" and "New Shaolin Temple"?"

"Okay, as long as you're happy, it's still early here, you're busy, I'll take a nap."

Chen Fei shrugged and hung up the phone.

Putting down her phone, Han Sanping happily called her secretary and asked him to report the data.

And when the first-day box office figure of 190 million appeared on major film and television information websites, a group of people in the industry were stunned on the spot!

"What the hell? 190 million on the first day? Are you kidding me?"

Wang Zhonglei held the new box office data of "Detective Dee" in his hand, and saw the words 9 million written on it, which was only a "small fraction" of "Twilight 5".

Even the total box office data for these five days is only a "big fraction" of others.

What a joke!

Wang Zhongjun behind the desk couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You have nothing to do? Are you going to compare the box office with "Twilight 5"? Our analogy is not this kind of 3D Hollywood blockbuster, okay?"

For a moment, Wang Zhonglei was speechless.

He is not even qualified to compare. It’s really uncomfortable to think about it!

The data in North America was a little later than that in China. It was not until the afternoon of the 6th that Chen Fei received a call from Natasha.

"Fei, I think we should prepare a celebration banquet."

"Oh?" Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, suddenly looking forward to it, "Did the box office results on the first day be very high?"

Because November is not considered a hot schedule period in Hollywood, and there are no other blockbusters competing with "Twilight 5" during the same period, the scale of openings in North America is the same as in China, and they are almost full!

The amount of 4,500 pavilions is almost the highest ever in North America!

You know, even "Inception" and "Avatar" do not have such a high scale of opening!

"It's not very high, it's very high!" Natasha shouted exaggeratedly, and then said word for word: "The first day's box office: US$150 million!"

"Fuck!"

No matter how calm Chen Fei was, he was still shocked by this number.

"Inception" cost 120 million U.S. dollars, which has broken many records in film history, and now "Twilight 5" has made another 150 million U.S. dollars. This horse is about to take off!

"Wait for me, I'm going to the company now."

Pushing away Gal Gadot, who was hugging him and acting coquettishly, Chen Fei quickly put on his clothes and rushed out the door.

woman?

You will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!

…

Arriving at Volton Pictures, as expected, Chen Fei enjoyed another wave of fireworks.

Mr. Woody Allen was also in the company today, holding a cigar in his mouth, and he seemed to be letting himself go.

Everyone gathered in the conference room, and called the people from the data analysis department over, and made a very detailed calculation based on the market conditions.

"It's easy to break through 1 billion US dollars, but it's impossible to break through the US$1.852 billion of "Inception."

Of course, although the result did not meet expectations, breaking 1 billion dollars is already a great ending, and no one will be dissatisfied.

Chen Fei made the final decision, "What we need to face next is the impact of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Tangled". I hope we can stay far ahead and lay a perfect foundation for the Twilight series." Do you have confidence in the ending?"

The next second, a roar broke out in the conference room.

"Promise to complete the mission!"

After returning to the office from the conference room, Chen Fei got a new data report from his secretary, which marked the box office results of "Captain America".

North America: $276 million.

Global: $579 million.

This result is slightly worse than "Thor", but if compared with other movies of the same period, it is simply awesome!

Chen Fei nodded with great satisfaction and murmured to himself: "Then the next ones are "Avengers" and "The Hunger Games"."

Preparations for the former have come to an end and can meet his needs for filming to begin in December.

The latter's release date is set for December 24, which is Christmas Day.

Competing head-on with "The Hunger Games" are "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" produced by 20th Century Fox and "Tron: Legacy" produced by Disney.

The former will be released on December 9th, while the latter will be released on December 17th.

Both movies were released earlier than "The Hunger Games", so they are likely to divert a large number of viewers, but Chen Fei is not too worried.

The structure of Hollywood blockbusters is very simple, which is special effects + quality.

In these two aspects, Chen Fei is worthy of Disney and 20th Century Fox!

Put on the bayonet!

Click and punch and that's it!
