Chapter 1142 Something really happened!

4.27亿、5.32亿、4.05亿、3.63亿、2.96亿……

After being released for a week, "Avengers 3: Infinity War" successfully reaped a box office revenue of 24.11 billion yuan in the mainland, directly defeating all the movies of the same period including "Time Travel Together" and "Us and Them"!
This performance continued until the 18th, when another imported Hollywood blockbuster "A Quiet Place" was released, which finally pulled away some of the screenings, and also gave other domestic films a sigh of relief.

Although everyone already knew in advance that this movie would be awesome, no one expected it to be this awesome!

There are so many movies released at the same time, but even if you add up the total box office, they still can't beat "Avengers 3". This is simply a crushing defeat!

The same situation also occurred in Hollywood.

When "Avengers 3" was released for a week and its North American box office revenue exceeded the 4 million US dollar mark, the whole of Hollywood was silent.

That is, on the 18th, the release of "Deadpool 2: I Love My Family" barely suppressed the rapid growth of "Avengers 3" in box office performance.

But what makes the other five of the Big Six in Hollywood very depressed is that the damn "Deadpool 2" is also a Marvel work!

If 2th Century Fox had not been acquired in the past, then "Deadpool 3" and "Avengers " would actually be rivals.

But now, 20th Century Fox and Marvel have been acquired by Walton Pictures, and everyone has become family.

From this perspective, no matter how fiercely the two movies compete with each other, it is their own business, and the money earned will eventually go into one account.

Thinking of this, many CEOs of film and television companies are filled with envy, jealousy and hatred!

What’s even more fucked up is that in another week, “Solo: A Star Wars Story” produced by Lucasfilm will also be released.

And this company also belongs to Walton Pictures...

All of a sudden, more people were crying!
Especially Walt Disney, their movie "Incredibles 2" will be released online in about 20 days.

But facing the current siege of so many blockbusters, can "Incredibles 2" still achieve the high box office as expected?
For a time, Disney's senior executives began to question their own new film projects.

Of course, these will not affect Chen Fei.

He has no time to pay attention to the status of other companies. As long as the movies produced by his own company are big sellers, he has no interest in caring about anything else.

He didn't even pay special attention to the two projects that Walton Pictures had recently started, "Green Book" and "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters", for which he provided the scripts.

The company has been developing for so many years and has already cultivated a large number of talented people.

With those professionals watching over it, and with Hollywood's extremely professional film industry production capabilities, as long as the script is good enough, there will usually be no problems.

Of course, the casting of actors still needs to be controlled a bit, and those who “suck too hard” must not be used.

Especially for someone like Johnny Depp, his brain is fucking sucked. No matter which company chooses him to be the male lead, they are just asking for trouble.

Other than that, there aren't many other restrictions.

After all, there are too few particularly "clean" ones in Hollywood. It's okay if it's almost usable, not too outrageous, not too extreme, and professional enough.

Of course, those involving LGBT must not be used, as the consequences will be too serious!

"Viggo Mortensen? Mahershala Ali?"

Looking at the names of the two male protagonists marked on the "Green Book" project book, Chen Fei muttered to himself, picked up a pen and signed his name directly on the back.

Then, he handed the project book to his assistant and instructed: "Mail it to Natasha as soon as possible, and tell her that it would be best if the project is completed this year, just in time for her to participate in the Oscars next year."

"Okay, Boss."

The assistant responded, turned around, and quickly left the RV.

After the car door closed, Chen Fei picked up his phone from the table and checked with interest the awards ceremony and results of the 81st Cannes International Film Festival held in Cannes, France last night.

Under the guidance of Cate Blanchett, the awards ceremony at this year's Cannes Film Festival were well-deserved and there were not too many complaints.

The only pity is that Jia Zhangke’s "Ash Is Purest White" won nothing.

After reading the award results, Chen Fei browsed some gossip news about this year's Cannes Film Festival.

For him, a "melon-eating party", his interest in reading gossip news is actually much greater than watching the award results.

However, it would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. After looking at it, he was suddenly speechless.

There are many domestic female celebrities who have "embarrassed themselves" internationally, but those who do so are usually unknown third-tier celebrities who are trying to attract traffic and hype up the popularity.

This is the first time in history that a second-tier actress like Ma Su has done such a sensational thing abroad!
Because of the incident of helping Li Xiaolu "do her hair", her reputation in the domestic film and television industry had already been ruined.

But no one expected that after going abroad, she would actually cause a scandal!
On the red carpet of the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, she stood still for 6 minutes and refused to leave no matter how the security guards tried to drive her away.

You know, the total length of the Cannes red carpet is less than 100 meters, and it can be walked in less than a minute at a normal walking speed.

But she just stood there for 6 minutes!

On the other hand, Huo Jianqi and the crew of "Like a Shadow", who walked the red carpet at the same time as her, left the red carpet early, leaving her with her conspicuous bag alone, embarrassing herself!

After the news spread back to China, netizens were going crazy:

"What? Is this woman a moron? She has embarrassed herself in Cannes. Does she have any shame?"

"Oh my god, I'm really impressed. If you don't know, you would think there was glue on the red carpet. You must have been glued to something, right?"

"This is the legendary red carpet crawl, right? I admire you! I really admire you!"

"I'm just wondering, what's the point of trying so hard? Could it be that a foreign crew will be interested in you?"

"You are so brave! I want to see how you can survive in the domestic film and television industry after you return to China. You have embarrassed yourself abroad, fuck!"

"..."

Chen Fei was really disgusted by what Ma Su had done, so he stopped reading gossip news and directly quit the website.

In the following days, when Chen Fei occasionally logged into Weibo, it could be seen that this actress, whose reputation had already been ruined, seemed to be taking the "black and red" route.

While getting scolded for doing various wrong things, he also successfully attracted a lot of traffic.

I just don’t know which company will step forward and successfully take over this wave of traffic?

………………

"Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 is at 7700!"

"Sichuan 8633, please reply if you receive it!"

"The plane's windshield broke and fell off... emergency landing... landed safely!"

“Epic emergency landing! Liu Chuanjian - the Chinese version of Captain Sully!”

"Captain Liu Chuanjian piloted the plane for 19 minutes and 54 seconds in an oxygen-deficient environment at high altitude! He finally brought 85 passengers back to their destination successfully. Only the co-pilot on the right seat had a facial scratch and a sprained waist, and a flight attendant was slightly injured during the descent. It was as if God had helped us!"

Ma Su's "black and red" operation did not last long, and was completely crushed by the "Sichuan Airlines flight diverted to Chengdu" incident.

Once the incident happened, the media quickly followed up, and the overwhelming coverage quickly revealed the entire forced landing process to the public.

#Thrill at 10,000 meters, #Airplane windshield shattered, #Captain's epic emergency landing...

With a steady stream of real-life headlines being released by the media, it makes one’s scalp tingle just by looking at them!
For a time, Weibo and social media were filled with discussions about this matter, and the popularity remained high!
In the crew of Avengers 4, Chen Fei was drinking coffee while reading the news online. Because of the time difference, when he received the news, it was already the second day after the plane successfully landed in Chengdu.

At this time, not only the country, but even the whole world knew about the Sichuan Airlines emergency landing in Chengdu!
Looking around, the crew members of "Avengers 4" are sitting together, resting and communicating enthusiastically:

"Let me tell you, this Sichuan Airlines captain is even better than our Captain Sully!"

The person who spoke was a young prop master from the crew. He looked excited and his eyes were wide open. "This plane was flying at an altitude of 7,000 to 8,000 meters. The windshield was shattered and the co-pilot was half hanging out of the window. How much pressure must it have endured? I can't imagine how the plane managed to get back!"

An elderly white lighting technician nearby shook his head with a hint of caution on his face. "It's hard to say. It's hard to compare. Captain Sully also successfully made an emergency landing on the Hudson River and saved the lives of everyone on the plane. That was also an amazing feat. All I can say is that both captains are awesome and heroes."

"Oh my God! Just reading the descriptions in the media is thrilling enough. Including the crew, there were hundreds of passengers. If I were on that plane, my legs would probably go weak." A young script supervisor patted his chest, his face full of fear.

At this time, an executive producer of the crew came over and joined in after hearing the discussion: "This is indeed a miracle in aviation history, but think about it, it's not just the captain's personal ability, but also the collaboration of the entire crew, the coordination of ground control, and some safety performance guarantees of the aircraft itself. This is a victory of system engineering. China's achievements in the aerospace industry are getting stronger and stronger!"

"Henry's words have given me some inspiration." Another executive producer who assisted Chen Fei in the filming suddenly interrupted and said, "If such a shocking event could be made into a movie, how interesting would it be? Just this plot alone is more exciting than the plots of many Hollywood special effects blockbusters."

"..."

The heated discussions continued, and all of them reached Chen Fei's ears.

In a trance, he suddenly remembered that the last time he completed the challenge task assigned by the system, it seemed that the reward script included "Captain Zhongxiao"!
While no one else was paying attention to him, he immersed his consciousness in the script library and took a special look.

When he saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up!
I remember correctly!
Really!
After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked aside, took out his cell phone and called Su Guohai, giving him a few simple instructions.

"To fight for the film rights to the Sichuan Airlines incident?"

Su Guohai was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted!

"Mr. Chen, do you mean that we can make a movie similar to Hollywood's "Sully"? "

"That's right. This event is the best publicity for China Airlines. The higher-ups will definitely support us. Even if we don't take the initiative to apply, there will be tasks assigned to us later."

Hearing this, Su Guohai immediately understood.

Take the initiative!

To prevent it from being snatched away by other film and television companies!

"Don't worry, I will follow up on this matter personally. I will go to the Civil Aviation Administration tomorrow."

"You can tell them that the script about this incident will be written by me personally."

"it is good!"

In an instant, Su Guohai's confidence soared!

Whenever the topic of "main-theme movies" is mentioned in the domestic film and television circles, Chen Fei's name will always be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

From "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to "Operation Mekong", "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior 2", these are all his masterpieces.

With the support of these films that were successful in both box office and word of mouth, his name has become synonymous with mainstream theme films in China!
Therefore, for Su Guohai, asking the Civil Aviation Administration for the copyright to adapt the story under the banner of Chen Fei was like using the "imperial sword" to get the job done.

Who dares to compete with him for the adaptation rights of this story?

one comes!
"Kill" one!
At the same time, when Chen Fei was patiently explaining to Su Guohai how to explain the direction of the story adaptation to the Civil Aviation Administration, a number of film and television companies including Alibaba Pictures, Bona Film Group, China Film Group, Huaying Film Group, Light Media, Wanda and others almost all thought of the movie "Sully" at the same time.

Although the film did not have high box office in China, it earned nearly $2 million in North America.

Converted into RMB, this is a box office of more than 10 billion!
And the most important thing is that it is a "main melody movie", the hottest subject in the current Chinese-language film market!

For a moment, everyone became restless.

On the Alibaba Pictures side, Fan Luyuan knew that it would be difficult to obtain the adaptation rights for this story relying solely on the level of Alibaba Pictures, so he contacted Yu Dong of Bona immediately.

It just so happens that the two companies are currently working together on the project "My Motherland and Me" and are allies.

After chatting on the phone for a while, the two immediately decided to join forces to take on this project!

"I think we need to bring in a state-owned enterprise. With the endorsement of a state-owned enterprise, it will be easier to communicate with the Civil Aviation Administration."

"A state-owned enterprise?" Fan Luyuan said subconsciously: "China Film Group?"

"No, we can't let La Peikang get involved. He's too petty and selfish. If we cooperate with him, we won't get enough investment."

"Does President Yu have any suitable partners?"

"Huaying! It just so happens that I am very familiar with Mr. Fu of Huaying. I will contact him."

"Okay, Huaying is indeed a good fit. I'll leave it to you, Mr. Yu. I'll arrange for someone to get some information first."

The two parties quickly completed the communication, and as soon as Yu Dong hung up the phone, he called Fu Ruoqing directly overnight.

In less than 10 minutes, the latter agreed to form an alliance with Bona and Alibaba Pictures to work together to obtain the copyright for adapting the story of the Sichuan Airlines incident.

At the same time, on the China Film side, La Peikang also began to take action.

The failure of "Sky Hunter" has always been on his mind. Now another incident about "airplane" is placed in front of him, and it is very popular and discussed online. Isn't this a natural template?

"If China Film can obtain the adaptation rights for this story, it will definitely boost the company's stock price..."

While muttering to himself, he took out his cell phone and started to inquire about the situation.

Just as Yu Dong said, he had no intention of looking for allies at all. When the idea came to his mind, he wanted China Film to be the full agent!
Just like "Shanghai Fortress", if Teng Huatao had not brought CTS into the alliance camp in advance, China Film would definitely have become the sole producer and distributor.

Ningying can go all out for "Asura", and Ta La Pei Kang can also take China Film to go all out.

If this succeeds, I can enjoy all the glory and benefits alone. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

However, at the same time he was taking action, Su Guohai, who had already ended the call with Chen Fei, immediately contacted Wang Changtian, Ren Zhonglun, Liu Xiaobin, Wang Yong and others, and conveyed Chen Fei's thoughts to them.

"Adapting this Sichuan Airlines incident into a mainstream movie? That's fine! I fully agree!"

"Wanda has no objection and fully supports it."

"Is there anything Shangying can help with? Just let me know. I'll fly to the capital early tomorrow morning."

"There's no problem with Xiying. I'll go to Zhongxuan tomorrow to look for my former colleagues. I believe they will give me this face. At worst... I'll just stay and refuse to leave!"

Su Guohai used to not quite understand why Chen Fei abandoned China Film Group and chose Xi'an Film Group, and he even had a lot of opinions in his mind.

But now he found that Laxiyingyi's choice was absolutely right!

This old factory director is so arrogant. In the past, he would go to the General Administration and slam the table to challenge others whenever he disagreed with something. Now that the Film Bureau has been merged into the Central Propaganda Department, he dares to slam the table again!

This is a true ally!
If there is something wrong, Xiying will really go there!

"Then I'll trouble you all. Let's continue our cooperation and try to get the copyright for the story adaptation as soon as possible. Then we can discuss the investment share of each company. How do you think?"

"it is good!"

During the video call, Wang Changtian, Ren Zhonglun, Liu Xiaobin, and Wang Yong nodded in unison, and their fighting spirit was instantly ignited!
They haven't worked together for nearly half a year since the end of "Dying to Survive".

This time, it is time for the domestic film and television industry to take another look at the influence created by the combined efforts of the “Five Giants of the Chinese Film and Television Industry”!
