Chapter 541 All the directors under his banner let the Sacred Valley artists come out again!
Chapter 541 All the directors under his banner have gone wild... The Sacred Valley artist is back on the scene again!
"The adaptation is very good. Just use this version. Contact Mr. Su and ask him to arrange for someone to take it to the Film Bureau for review."
Chen Fei is basically very satisfied with this script of "The Martian" that has been translated into Chinese.
It can be seen from the various data marked in the script that Guo Fan has obviously put a lot of effort into it.
After being in seclusion for nearly two months, it is no exaggeration to say that now he can even recite the entire script backwards and forwards!
On the other end of the phone, after hearing Chen Fei's words, Guo Fan couldn't hide his excitement: "Director Chen, thank you very much for your affirmation. I will contact Mr. Su and submit the script for review."
"You wait first."
Chen Fei stopped him and specifically warned: "After the script is reviewed, you don't need to notify me and can directly start the preparatory work.
I will say hello to the space agency and China Film Group, and there will be a professional team to assist you in the preparations before filming begins.
If you encounter some situations or problems that require review by relevant departments, you can contact Director Han directly and he will help you solve them. "
For these directors signed by the company, in addition to paying attention to the first film, Chen Fei will start a free-range care plan when the filming of the second film begins.
Just like Lu Yang, Yang Yu, Li Yang and others.
Chen Fei followed up almost the entire process of the preparation and filming of "Xiu Chun Dao 1" and "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".
But when the second step, or even the third movie, started to be prepared and filmed, he barely participated in it and handed over all the rights in his hands to them.
The reason is also very simple.
He needs these people to face the difficulties alone and carve out a path of their own style.
He didn't want the assembly-line operations of Hollywood's third-tier directors.
If you want to be promoted to a top director, you must have your own style and shooting techniques, and you must even have some shooting inspiration from time to time.
And these can only be presented one by one without control.
He is not afraid that these people will let themselves go, because each crew will be equipped with a supervisor to ensure that Chen Fei can grasp the dynamics first-hand.
On the other end of the phone, Guo Fan was silent for a while before replying in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand."
At this moment, although the pressure in his heart doubled, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation at the same time!
Chen Fei started to let him go. This was a kind of trust in him, and it was also a test for him.
If he can pass the test, I believe there will be more resources and better scripts waiting for him in the future!
…
The news that the script of "The Martian" was submitted for review was immediately reported by the media.
Unfortunately, because there was another incident that happened that day, it didn't attract many people's attention.
Those Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who had quit Weibo because of the "Zhao Zhen Controversy" have returned to Weibo one after another through the charity activities of "World Environment Day", as if they had made an appointment.
They all use the slogan of "promoting public welfare", but anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the final analysis, these people are still reluctant to part with those fans and the benefits that fans bring.
Although many people on the Internet are laughing at their behavior, most people choose to turn a blind eye.
On the day Shu Qi returned, Feng Xiaogang excitedly posted a Weibo message to welcome her back again.
Actors and celebrities belonging to the Huayi faction also followed suit and expressed their welcome.
Netizens' emotions immediately found an outlet, and Feng Dapao's Weibo was overwhelmed again!
This time, because there was no restraint from "1942", Feng Xiaogang completely let himself go and began to respond crazily.
Even in the middle of the night, Chen Fei could often see scenes of Feng Xiaogang and netizens quarreling with each other. It was a constant source of fun!
…
On the day "The Martian" successfully passed review, the front pages of major film and television information websites were once again dominated by various news reported by Feiyue Film and Television.
"It is reported that "The Martian" will be directed independently by director Guo Fan. The investors include Feiyue Pictures, China Film, Shanghai Film, Wanda, and the Space Administration. The budget is 720 million yuan, and the cast has not been announced yet."
""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" has been released for nearly half a month, and the box office has successfully exceeded 700 million, with the goal of 1 billion!"
"The two Hong Kong films "Anti-Drug" and "Equator" co-produced by Feiyue Pictures and Golden Harvest Films have been successfully completed and will soon enter the post-editing and production stage."
"Hot news: "The Murderer" directed by Kang Honglei and starring Zhang Songwen, Zhang Yi, Aruna, Zhu Zhu, Tan Zhuo and others has officially started filming in Hengdian."
"New director Shen Ao, newly signed by Feiyue Film and Television, has announced the casting news for "Into the Dust". The male lead 'Ma Youtie' will be played by Tian Zhuangzhuang, and the female lead 'Cao Guiying' is confirmed to be Yan Ni. Jiang Wenli unfortunately lost... …”
"The 'New Art Film Recovery Plan' founded by Chen Fei, Jia Zhangke and Pan-Asia Cinemas is about to launch the second round of art film viewing activities. It is reported that the box office revenue of the first round of viewing is as high as 300 million!"
"It is rumored that Director Chen Fei will invest in a film school in Shanxi Province..."
"According to the cinema chain's announcement: "Pacific Rim" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City" have officially signed a betting agreement with the cinema chain. Taking the box office of 700 million as the benchmark, the box office division account will increase by 100 million for every 100 million box office. The account sharing ratio will be increased by 1.5%, with the upper limit being 48%.”
"..."
As inside information was released one after another, many production companies in the mainland seemed to have been struck by thunder, and they were all blown away!
Huayi, in the chairman's office.
Wang Zhonglei couldn't hide his envy as he watched the news that was constantly being refreshed on the Internet.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...fuck, next year's movie schedule will have to be taken away by Feiyue Film and Television."
Wang Zhongjun interrupted: "Okay, don't say these words that enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Have you contacted the theaters I asked you to contact?"
"Well, everything has been arranged."
"Okay." Wang Zhongjun nodded and warned: "Ignore the news on the Internet. Our current task is to communicate with the theaters and strive to get a gambling agreement."
Huayi is quite confident about the movie "1942".
They internally believe that the box office of this movie will definitely surpass "Earthquake".
Based on this, if we can sign a gambling agreement with theaters, once the box office exceeds 700 million, the subsequent profits will be very considerable.
The two brothers were very excited at this time, and they were clearly ready to deal with the theater.
Naturally, Huayi has no intention of hiding this kind of news that can enhance the company's self-confidence.
The next day, under the attention of many media, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun came to the company in person and welcomed a group of theater representatives into the company.
For a time, the draft was scattered everywhere.
"It is reported that Huayi will sign a gambling agreement with theaters based on films such as "1942" and "Blood Drops", and the revenue sharing ratio is also determined to be 700 million."
"The two sides are discussing the 'bet' game, and it won't take too long before a conclusion will emerge."
"If this negotiation is successful, Huayi will become the second film and television production company to sign a gambling agreement with a theater chain after Feiyue Film and Television."
There is constant news online, and many production companies in the industry are waiting.
If Huayi can succeed, no need to think too much, other film production companies will definitely not sit still and wait.
At this time, Chen Fei, who was far away in Hollywood, naturally received the news.
However, he has a pessimistic view of Huayi's "wishful thinking" behavior.
You know, when a movie signs a betting agreement, the theaters will actually provide a lot of help. The most intuitive thing is the increase in the number of films scheduled.
Because it's a win-win situation.
The higher the box office of a movie, although the bill sharing ratio will also increase, the theaters will definitely make more profits!
Based on this, only if a movie really has box office appeal will it have the basic conditions to sign a gambling agreement, and theaters will give more support.
And does a movie like "1942" really have box office appeal?
Can it compare with commercial blockbusters such as "Pacific Rim" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City"?
In Chen Fei's view, this is absolutely impossible.
During the Lunar New Year period, everyone is looking for family fun. Who would like to watch this kind of biographical movie that is similar to a disaster movie?
Chen Fei even felt that the box office of this "1942" might not be as high as Lu Taro's "The King's Feast".
After shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze and devoted all his attention to the filming of "Dallas Buyers Club".
Taking advantage of the current calm situation, I would like to shoot as much as possible to prevent further twists and turns, which will directly cause the crew to stop filming.
…
In Burbank, an acting school called "Superstar Studio" once again welcomed a group of students.
As one of the school's largest shareholders and principals, Ben Affleck has a busy time every time he recruits new students.
After spending a full three hours filing all the newly admitted students' information, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a satisfied smile on his face.
The arrival of new students means that a large amount of money will be added to the account.
At the same time, he can also take the opportunity to select a new group of girls and help them date Harvey Weinstein.
It was one of the ways he maintained a good friendship with Harvey Weinstein.
"Next, it's time to meet my little darlings."
Daben stretched out, picked up a teaching material from the table beside him, and walked straight towards the teaching area.
Naturally, the new students would not be as well-behaved as the old students. Therefore, as soon as he walked to the door of the classroom, he heard a burst of noisy discussion inside.
He stopped and listened subconsciously, and then heard many people inside talking about several dramas.
"Haha, I have finished watching the latest third season of Game of Thrones. The finale of every season is a very shocking scene. I am very much looking forward to the confrontation with the White Walkers in the next season!"
"What impressed me most was the bloody wedding in Episode 9. It was really shocking. A mother saw her eldest son being killed with her own eyes, and she thought her other two sons were also dead, and her two daughters were killed. Being held hostage with her life and death unknown, she must have been extremely desperate before her death! "
"Indeed, I was really excited about Red Wedding. I have never seen such a non-conventional drama."
“The writers of this series are so great!”
"Have you not watched the newly released second season of "Spartacus"? It is also very shocking. The screenwriter is also the famous Hollywood director Fei Chen!"
"Of course I have. I like and admire FeiChen very much. If he can be my acting teacher, I will definitely give everything..."
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and everyone knew very well what the four words "dedication of everything" meant.
Many girls actually have this idea, but unfortunately, they don't even have the opportunity to actively contribute.
Outside the classroom door, when he saw Chen Fei's name, Daben's face suddenly darkened.
He really doesn't want to hear this person's name now, because this person wants to compete with his "Escape from Tehran" and destroy his future!
"boom!"
The classroom door was pushed open heavily by Da Ben.
He strode in, glanced around the situation in the classroom, and said solemnly: "Everyone go back to your seats, we are getting ready to start class.
In the first lesson, I will teach you how to release your nature and become a qualified Hollywood actor.
Today's class will last a whole day, starting tomorrow. I hope you can respond immediately after hearing my instructions..."
Daben talked non-stop on the stage and made gestures from time to time, showing a very professional performance.
But what he didn't notice was that in the corner on the right side of the classroom, a girl with a pockmarked face was constantly adjusting her handbag on the table to ensure that the camera installed in the mezzanine of the handbag could clearly record him. Teaching screen.
…
Time soon came to night. After finishing the day's shooting work, Chen Fei came to Volton Pictures again.
When he opened the door and walked into Natasha's office, his attention was immediately attracted by a girl with a pockmarked face.
He knew who this man was.
This is an entertainment reporter from a newspaper company acquired by Waltons Pictures. Her name is Amy Knott.
Although this girl is unattractive in appearance, she is very bold and careful, and can be regarded as an effective member of Natasha's staff.
And today she suddenly appeared here, obviously getting some inside information.
"Fei, you're here."
Natasha first raised her head and said hello, and then went straight to the point: "Amy has successfully sneaked into Da Ben's acting training studio and found out some information."
Chen Fei immediately turned to look at the pockmarked girl and asked, "Is there something wrong with this training studio?"
"have!"
Amy Nott nodded without hesitation, and then added: "After class today, I chatted with some veteran students who arrived earlier than us.
They said that in previous training courses, they were often harassed by Ben Affleck, and he even asked them to strip naked and perform in the name of liberating their nature and exploring the art!
After halfway through the course, Ben Affleck will even ask the students to co-act with him in large-scale scenes, and use his characters to seduce and coerce them into going to the hotel..."
Hearing this, Chen Fei was not very surprised.
According to his recent understanding of the so-called "acting studio", the so-called "red sofa" did not actually start from the moment of the audition. Those girls who had no connections and backgrounds actually learned acting when they first learned about it. I have already begun to face the choice of red sofa.
And what surprised him was that, according to Jack Nicholson, when he first debuted, DiCaprio was even stripped naked and kicked out of the acting studio!
It is said that he was targeted after he refused a request from a 50-year-old aunt to perform a large-scale role.
It's a pity that no video was released at that time...
Back to business.
After hearing Amy Nott's report, Chen Fei immediately said: "How much evidence do you have now? Can you convince those victims to come forward and testify against Ben Affleck?"
"Not yet." Amy shook her head slightly: "I just got there and haven't gotten to know the others yet."
Chen Fei understood the mentality of these Hollywood-related practitioners very well, and immediately said: "I can give you more time and financial support, as well as generous remuneration."
Hearing this, Amy Nott's eyes lit up: "Boss, I will give you a perfect answer within a week at most."
"Okay, just go ahead and do it. I'm waiting for your good news."
After leaving the office, Amy Nott made a call directly without any hesitation: "Cecile, I need your help."
There was first a strange chanting sound coming from the other end of the phone, and a moment later, there was another sound, like someone was putting on clothes.
Amy Nott did not hang up the phone, but waited for a moment.
"Amy! You Bichi, you interrupted my audition!"
As a famous "San Fernando Valley" producer, Cecil Lafayette was just having an in-depth communication with the male actors who came to audition for her new movie.
But he never expected that at the moment he was about to take off, he would be interrupted by a call from Amy Nott.
Amy Nott ignored the abuse on the phone and said directly: "I need you to arrange for me a Sacred Valley girl with excellent acting skills to help me put on a good show."
Hearing this, Cecil Lafayette seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously: "Who are you secretly photographing this time? As a reporter, why do you always have to create news yourself? Instead of looking for news..."
Amy Nolte didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she directly released her big move: "The salary is 2,000 US dollars."
"No problem! I'll have someone contact you tomorrow!"
"Be strict with your mouth." Amy Nott warned seriously.
In fact, she originally planned to do it herself.
Being able to make money and sleep with a second-tier actor like Big Ben is so lucky for a young reporter like her!
It's a pity that Ben doesn't seem to be interested in her. That guy is too superficial. He only likes people with pretty faces and doesn't like people with big butts.
Helpless, adhering to the attitude of not fabricating news, she had no choice but to hire Sacred Valley actresses to direct and act.
"Don't worry, I will definitely send our female artist with the strictest mouth, tightest mouth, and most flexible tongue to help you complete it..."
"Dudududu!"
The call was hung up directly by Amy Nott.
These people in the Sacred Valley are so "bohemian". From actors to producers, they are all bohemians!
