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

Whether it is Mei Entertainment or China Entertainment, all kinds of inside information spread very quickly, and almost no secrets can survive for more than an hour after being exposed.

Therefore, when Volton Pictures held a press conference and announced the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm, the news quickly spread to the world!

For a time, the front pages of all major mainstream media were dominated by it!

"Hot news: Volton Pictures spent US$7.45 billion to acquire two established independent production companies, DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm, and its business territory is expanding again."

"At the press conference, Director Chen Fei announced that he would cooperate with the two companies to successively release "Pacific Rim", "Interstellar", "Kung Fu Panda 3", "How to Train Your Dragon 2", "Wreck-It Ralph", " The production and copyright development of works such as "Frozen"."

"Hollywood's new seven major patterns have been laid, and Volton Pictures has successfully laid the foundation in Hollywood!"

"The total North American box office results for 2010 have been announced. According to statistics, Volton Pictures has once again won the first place and has been No. 1 for three consecutive years!"

"It is reported that "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" have been owned by Waltons Pictures, and many of Lucasfilm's subsidiaries are also owned by Waltons Pictures, including Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker Sound Effects. , LucasArts Co., Ltd.…”

"The era of divided heroes is coming again, and the dominant Pixar animation studio is once again facing rivals. DreamWorks Animation and Walt Disney Pictures will soon make a strong debut with many masterpieces of animated films!"

"..."

For a time, Hollywood was completely shaken. The six major companies discussed the acquisition of Volton Pictures and made various targeted countermeasures.

No one thought that this independent production company, which was unknown at the beginning, would burst out with such terrifying power!

After the acquisition of Marvel, many production companies such as DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, and Lucasfilm were added to the chariot.

For a time, Volton Pictures has become a "big copyright owner" that can easily rival the Big Six!

What’s even more frightening is that they also control streaming media and very mature publicity and distribution channels, which are simply not something that other companies can manipulate at will.

As for the official background…

The three words "Walton" are enough to attract everyone's attention, plus the Morgan consortium behind Chen Fei and the support from the White House...

It is no exaggeration to say that Walton Pictures’ foundation is very stable!

If you want to suppress it, you can only carry out a strong attack on the company's income, that is, the movie box office level.

But can they survive it?

Waltons Pictures has been No. 1 in the North American box office for three consecutive years. Even though Warner Bros. has launched a masterpiece like "Avatar", it still has not succeeded in making it.

This shows that there is absolutely nothing they can do!

Current Disney CEO Dick Cook looked at the reports on the news page and frowned.

After a long time, he looked up at John Lasseter, the head of Pixar Animation Studio in front of him, and said solemnly: "We have to admit that Walton Pictures has officially become a steak that can be slaughtered on the table. The hunter who cuts the steak!”

"What are we going to do?" John Lasseter asked curiously.

"Disney will launch the fourth installment in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series this year, and you guys have to keep up and not fall too far behind."

"Don't worry about this." John Lasseter smiled confidently, "We will restart the Snow White Project and defeat it with classics!"

In addition to Disney, the other five natures will not be willing to lag behind.

"Rio", "Fast and Furious 5", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2", "Cars 2", "The Smurfs", "Puss in Boots", "Mission: Impossible 4" , "Ghost Protocol", "Ravy 3" and many other works are already coming in force!

Some of these films are even the works of DreamWorks Animation, but they have already signed a distribution contract with Paramount, so they have to be distributed by them.

Of course, Waltons Pictures won’t give in!

"War for the Planet of the Apes: Endgame", "Transformers 3", "Avengers" and many other masterpieces are also sharpening their skills and are ready to go.

At the same time, Mr. Woody Allen has also given Chen Fei a reply.

The novel "Get Out of the Way: Let Me Embrace Happiness" will be adapted into a screenplay, and will be directed and filmed by Mr. Woody.

Chen Fei gave this script a very artistic name, called: "Silver Linings Behind the Dark Clouds."

Han Sanping called again...

"Congratulations! Your net worth has increased again!"

The direction of the stock market is changing very quickly. With the growing box office of "The Hunger Games" and the successful acquisition of DreamWorks Animation and Lucasfilm by Volton Pictures, Chen Fei's net worth has soared to 6 billion U.S. dollars. , it’s simply faster than riding a rocket.

"Haha, I also want to congratulate Director Han for overfulfilling the task."

Mainland China's total box office data for 2010 has been released, totaling 13.8 billion yuan.

This result has far exceeded Han Sanping's expectations. Obviously, his year-end bonus will definitely not be lost, and his position as chairman of China Film Group Corporation will naturally become more stable.

But at this time, Han Sanping suddenly sighed, "Oh, actually it's a headache if you exceed the quota too much!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Chen Fei was a little confused.

"The General Administration has set new targets. This year's total box office in the mainland must not be less than 16 billion, and the proportion of imported movies must not exceed 60%."

“What was the proportion last year?”

"70%!"

"Hey! Are mainland movies so badly beaten?"

Chen Fei took a breath of cold air, but quickly realized that this thing didn't seem to have much to do with him, and the bureau didn't give him a task.

And... he seems to be the most ruthless "violent" person. Last year, he took up a lot of Hollywood blockbusters produced by Volton Pictures!

"Iron Man 2", "Superman", "Thor", "Captain America", "The Twilight Saga 4", "The Twilight Saga 5"...

We can't calculate it carefully. If we continue to calculate it, Han Sanping may also be the "violator".

Imported films account for such a high proportion of the box office, which is inseparable from his and Chen Fei's "secret operations". China Film Group also made a lot of money in it.

"This year should be better, right? The known ones include "Gravity", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "The Founding of the Party", "Painted Skin 2", "Warring States", and "Painted Wall" , "Hongmen Banquet"...these movies are big investments!"

Chen Fei was so familiar with his treasures that he pulled out all the Chinese-language movies that he knew would be released this year.

However, Han Sanping followed up and said: "The known imported films this year include "Transformers 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2", "Fast and Furious 5", "The Hunger Games", "War for the Planet of the Apes", "Avengers" and more!

Come on, tell me, how do mainland movies fare in the face of these Hollywood blockbusters with investments of at least US$100 million? "

"..."

Chen Fei was speechless.

No matter how you look at it, these mainland blockbusters seem to be no match for Hollywood blockbusters.

"I can't help it. The mainland film market is like this. How can you become fat in one breath? The gap with Hollywood blockbusters is already huge. It will take time to catch up!"

In fact, if the total box office wants to make another leap, all it takes is to bring Internet companies into the game.

But at this stage, the major Internet companies simply do not care about the tens of billions. It will take more time and higher box office to attract these brave people who hold a lot of money!

But at this moment, Han Sanping suddenly came up with a new idea, "How about we make a serious co-production film?

I read news reports that you produced six scripts at once, and two of them were science fiction blockbusters with large investment. This happens to be a resource that is very scarce in China.

Just do me a favor and lighten my burden, and I will naturally give you my full support and escort you..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's heart moved slightly.

That's not a bad idea!

Cooperating with China Film Group to make co-productions, allowing mainland capital to penetrate more into Hollywood, will not only make your development in the mainland more stable, but also attract more allies and stabilize your backing...

There is endless money to be made, and he is not short of money now. Expanding his influence and stabilizing his position are the top priorities.

What's more, his previous goal was to drive the mainland's film and television industry into a period of rapid and vigorous development, and making co-productions can naturally be regarded as a way of "driving".

After thinking for a moment, Chen Fei said: "Let's do this. After I finish filming "Avengers" here, let's go back and study it carefully. How about it?"

"Okay, no problem, I'll wait for you."

Han Sanping raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face.

After hanging up the phone, he was not idle. After thinking for a while, he opened the address book and found a phone number.

"Hello? Chief Zhao? It's me! Sanping..."

The filming of "Wolf Warrior" was relatively complicated because a lot of military weapons were used during the filming, so it naturally required the help of a certain military region for back-up.

Chen Fei's personal connections haven't reached that level yet, so he handed over the task to Han Sanping, who is also an investor.

With the help of China Film's background, he can help contact places like the space agency, so contacting a certain military region shouldn't be a problem, right?

Chen Fei trusts Han Sanping very much and believes that he will not let down this trust.

…

The holidays are over and filming of "Avengers" continues.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is really popular, it's so popular!

After being released for more than half a month, Jiang Wen officially transformed from an artistic film director to a commercial film director.

300 million...400 million...500 million...600 million...

The movie's box office has soared, and Jiang Wen has naturally become a member of the domestic billion-dollar box office club, and is even expected to become the second-largest commercial director after Chen Fei.

The total box office of "Earthquake" is 690 million. As long as "Let the Bullets Fly" can surpass this result, then Jiang Wen will be No. 2!

According to the analysis of industry professionals, as long as the current box office growth trend is maintained, it is very likely to be possible.

On the other hand, "If You Are the One 2", although the total box office has soared to 400 million, it has shown a great decline.

The daily new box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is still over 10 million, but the number of "If You Are the One 2" has dropped to 6 million. According to the current trend, it is considered very good to reach 500 million.

Feng Xiaogang obviously failed, but compared to Brother Chen Kai, he won in a mess!

"I can see that they are riding horses. This group of people is really realistic. After "The Sun Also Rises" attacked them, everyone hid far away. Now that "Let the Bullets Fly" has become popular, everyone has joined together again. Come up..."

"Haha, isn't that what this circle is like?"

During this time, Jiang Wen would always call Chen Fei despite the time difference. Sometimes he would tell him excitedly how good the box office results were, sometimes he would angrily scold the old guys for being unreasonable, and sometimes he would complain about the bad things in the industry. Worry...

Chen Fei still liked chatting with him. Not only did he like his frequent wise words, but he also liked his straightforward character.

"What? Is there a new script in mind?"

"Well, I do have an idea."

"Oh?" Chen Fei suddenly became interested, "Tell me about it?"

Jiang Wen thought for a while and then said: "I was watching "The Case of Yan Ruisheng" recently. It is a story set in the Republic of China. It tells the story of a man named "Ma Zouri" who used beauty pageants to make money, but was found to be a murderer because of the death of the beauty pageant champion. , after being on the run and being arrested, he became a pawn to be used, and was rescued by the warlord's daughter, and finally was willing to die for love..."

"Okay!"

Chen Fei was immediately happy. It turned out to be "One Step Away", the second part of the "Beiyang Trilogy"!

Jiang Wen is going to become a great godfather!

When he thought of this movie, the conversation between Shu Qi and Jiang Wen suddenly popped into Chen Fei's mind.

Shu Qi: "Have you ever told anyone in your life that I love you?"

Jiang Wen: "I told you, many times, with different people."

Shu Qi: "I haven't heard of it."

Jiang Wen: "Baby, I love you..."

"..."

After all, Shu Qi still couldn't wait for the horse to say "I love you".

The obscurity of this movie has stumped a lot of people!

At the end of the chat, Chen Fei took the initiative and asked: "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Jiang Wen did not shy away from his thoughts, "Special effects, I want to add special effects to this movie!"

"Okay, no problem. If you need investment, special effects, whatever you need, I'll help you!"

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked a question, "Actually, I'm quite confused, why are you willing to help me? Aren't you afraid of losing money? And you helped me fight against those old guys before, aren't you afraid of being affected?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Chen Fei suddenly laughed, laughing very loudly, "Why do you want to ride on a horse? I just ride on a horse to admire you, and I just want to support you. Is this okay?"

"Brother, don't say anything anymore. I'll thank you on horseback. When you come back, I, Lao Jiang, will be your host. We won't come back until we get drunk!"

"Okay, then it's settled!"
