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

"When people see the posters and trailers, their first reaction is: Nezha is too ugly! But I want to say that it's okay to think he's ugly, because this film is about breaking prejudices!"

"Fuck, this actually made me cry. This is the real new hope for Chinese comics. It's finally not just a bunch of empty Chinese style, but has begun to use myths and fables to create real 'little people'!"

"Wow, this is a film produced by Feiyue Films. The technology is undoubtedly the highest level among current domestic animated films, and the plot is also very mature and excellent! It takes into account both comedy elements and the depth of the theme, and also opens a good start for the subsequent Fengshen Universe. It's really awesome!"

"I unilaterally declare that this is the best animation of the year, no, the best film of the year, with a smooth transition and full of emotional power. This maturity, whether in the form of animation or not, is worthy of learning for all domestic commercial films."

"Awesome! I didn't expect that a Chinese animation could write such a mature story core. The story elements of 'Flooding Chentang Pass' were directly broken down and reconstructed. The character design and plot are completely based on the Yin-Yang philosophy.

Moreover, each of the main characters has a sense of fate and lives towards death. The image of Nezha is really subversive, which is rare in Chinese films. The most important thing is that the rebellious spirit is established! The director obviously wants to hit audiences of all ages. Those funny passages also gave birth to tragedy at critical moments, which made people very tearful. "

"Oh my goodness, the climax was so exciting! It was grand and full of emotion. I think all new Chinese animated films will be compared to it."

189 million, 247 million, 298 million, 365 million, 422 million, 479 million…

Six days passed in a flash.

When the time came to the seventh day of the first lunar month, that is, February 11th, the total box office of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" actually soared to 2 billion!

The emergence of this situation directly confused all practitioners in the film and television industry!

After all, according to everyone's initial predictions, the box office champion of this Spring Festival should be competed for from the two movies "Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life"!

But no one expected that "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" would suddenly come out and create a record of breaking 2 billion box office in 6 days!

"Fuck! Isn't this animated film too amazing? I thought you were bragging about the total box office of 3 billion, but I didn't expect you to say it was too little?!"

As soon as he saw Chen Fei, Ning Hao started to mutter to himself, and every sentence was about "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

You know, the movie "Crazy Alien" directed by him has been released for 6 days and the total box office has just exceeded 1.5 billion.

On the other hand, "Speeding Life" has just broken the 1 billion box office.

But looking at "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", which is obviously just an animated film, it actually created a record of 2 billion in 6 days, defeating all those live-action commercial films. Isn't this too exaggerated?

Fade Chen glanced at Ning Hao and laughed, "This is just the beginning. It's just over 2 billion. There will be more ruthless things to come. Just wait and see."

"Even more cruel?"

Ning Hao blinked his eyes and secretly guessed in his heart: "Could it be possible to reach 4 billion?"

You know, it's already the seventh day of the first lunar month, and many people have started working.

If nothing unexpected happens, the box office of all movies today will be cut in half.

And "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" is naturally no exception.

Under such circumstances, how high can the box office performance of this movie reach?

"Don't worry about Nezha for now. I saw on the news recently that you seem to have been scolded by many people?"

Chen Fei's teasing came late but arrived.

Then he discovered that many people caught Ning Hao and scolded him directly!

Especially those who are well-known.

They directly launched an all-round criticism of the elements of "black America", "alien abuse" and "absurdity" shown in "Crazy Alien", so that the overall score of this movie on the entire network has been declining.

Chen Fei originally thought that Ning Hao might be worried for a while, but after meeting him today, he found that this guy seemed to be in pretty good condition.

"Haha, if you want to curse, just curse. Can I shut them up? Anyway, I have prepared myself mentally before the film was released."

The elements displayed in "Crazy Alien" are not just comedic effects. Many of the criticisms, satires and other details in it made Chen Fei scratch his head.

For those who love America, this movie is undoubtedly a heresy.

Some people are even calling on the General Administration to forcibly remove this movie from the shelves.

From this we can see that Ning Hao offended quite a few people this time.

But now it seems that he doesn't care, instead he seems to be enjoying it.

"The angrier and more furious they are, the happier I am. Hahaha, this is exactly the effect I want..."

Ning Hao's loud laughter echoed in the screening room, attracting many people's attention.

Guo Fan just happened to walk over from in front of the screen at this time. Seeing Ning Hao laughing, he immediately looked at Chen Fei in surprise and whispered, "Director Ning, what's wrong?"

"Don't bother with him, he's a little bit mentally unstable."

As he spoke, Chen Fei moved to the right and let Guo Fan sit between him and Ning Hao.

Ning Hao: “…”

It was just a couple of laughs, how come you're mentally ill?

He was just about to say a few words to defend himself, but at this moment, he heard a "click" sound, and the lights in the projection room suddenly dimmed, while the screen in front of him lit up.

"Director Ning, here are the 3D glasses for you."

"Oh, ok, thank you."

After taking the glasses handed to him by Guo Fan, Ning Hao immediately gave up the idea of ​​speaking and instead looked at the big screen very seriously.

Today is the internal preview of "The Wandering Earth", and Guo Fan invited many people to help him find faults.

Everyone is quite curious about this pure "Chinese-style hard science fiction movie", so they are all watching it very seriously.

The feature film soon appeared on the big screen.

First, there is a long introduction to the background of the story... The sun is about to be destroyed, and humans have launched the "Wandering Earth" plan, preparing to escape the solar system with the Earth.

And when this story background appears, the film's worldview selling point is clearly displayed!

In fact, when Chen Fei saw this, he was quite touched.

The Chinese may be the only people in the world who have a deep attachment to their hometown.

Looking back at the past and present, many feelings and customs such as "fallen leaves return to their roots", "returning to the fields after taking off the army", "leaving home when young and returning when old", and "family reunion during the Spring Festival" all reflect the dependence on the hometown.

This is also the reason why the movie "The Wandering Earth" is set to wander with the Earth instead of leaving the Earth to explore outer space.

But in comparison, Western culture is completely the opposite.

Especially in Hollywood's science fiction movies, similar story plots will never appear, and even their own people have long been accustomed to the concept of "the whole world is my home."

It is also for this reason that although "The Wandering Earth" in the previous life reaped a lot of box office in China, the response abroad was not particularly good.

Foreigners simply cannot understand the core story of this movie.

They can't understand the family love with father and son as the main theme, the humanistic care on a large scale, and the never abandoning or giving up on their homeland and compatriots...

Only the performance of movie special effects can really make their eyes light up.

As for supporting the special effects of this movie, Chen Fei naturally spared no effort!

In his previous life, perhaps because of lack of money, Guo Fan’s presentation in "The Wandering Earth" was mostly static/dynamic background scenes, or long-range and macro effects, with very few details and microscopic displays.

But in this life, Chen Fei, who was reborn and had many advanced special effects technologies in his hands, directly gave the best to Guo Fan!

In addition to the investment in world view and atmosphere rendering, the investment in detailed special effects is also not left behind.

He specially selected many high-end talents from many special effects companies such as Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, Dotcom, Weta Digital, and Digital Domain to serve Guo Fan and this film.

And the final effect is that - under the premise that the big scenes are very shocking, many details of this movie have also been refined to the extreme!

Especially the details on the 12,000 planetary engines, which are lifelike and exquisite! Every detail has been carefully crafted!

And the moment when Jupiter's atmosphere is ignited is even more shocking under the rendering of special effects!

The flames were like a surging wave, instantly engulfing the surrounding darkness. The originally tranquil universe was filled with dazzling light and spread at an unimaginable speed, more dazzling than the sun and more shocking than a supernova explosion!

The shock waves were like angry beasts, sweeping out with overwhelming force, ruthlessly twisting and tearing everything in their path!

Even the asteroid belt is like fragile sand in the face of this force and is easily dispersed and destroyed.

The earth shook violently under this impact, and the tall buildings in the city were shattered in the vibration, and the glass shattered with a sharp sound...

Every detail and every scene are the result of the hard work of countless special effects artists, and also a huge amount of money was burned!

In fact, when the special effects were finally completed, Guo Fan felt a little distressed because the money spent was so much!

But Chen Fei did not have any objection. Instead, he gave him additional funds again and again to help him complete the later stages.

The ultimate effect created was that during the more than two hours of viewing, there was not a single word of discussion in the entire screening room. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen, not daring to be distracted for a moment, for fear of missing out on any wonderful scene!

"Oh my god! It's amazing! It's really amazing! The visuals! The plot! This is a true Chinese science fiction masterpiece!"

The phone screening had just ended, and before anyone could react, Ning Hao's howling had already echoed throughout the screening room.

And the next second, along with his howl, there was also extremely warm applause and exclamations!

"Holy crap! The picture quality is amazing! Every frame can be used as a high-definition wallpaper."

"Oh my god, boom, this is a work that was made with a lot of money. This is a super science fiction blockbuster!"

“Is this…is this really the movie we made?”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Director Guo's growth is visible to the naked eye. Following Gravity and The Martian, The Wandering Earth can definitely be called the culmination of his work!"

“I’m not exaggerating. Looking at the entire Chinese film industry, there is no blockbuster with special effects that can compare to The Wandering Earth. Only our company can produce such a work. Other companies have to stand aside.”

There was a lot of heated discussion in the screening room.

Guo Fan suppressed his excitement and turned to look at Chen Fei, with a desire to be "recognized" on his face.

Fade Chen did not disappoint him and patted his shoulder with great satisfaction: "I am very satisfied with the effect of this movie. You really created the picture I wanted in my mind!"

"Hehe, it's not that bad. It's not that exaggerated."

Guo Fan scratched his head shyly. He could hardly hide his excitement and joy at Chen Fei's straightforward encouragement, recognition and praise.

"I feel like this movie is likely to break the box office record for Chinese-language films!"

Ning Hao suddenly came over at this time and expressed his judgment very confidently.

"ah?"

Guo Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously thought of the "Wolf Warrior 2" that was released in the summer of 2017.

The box office revenue of 5.863 billion is still a huge barrier standing between all Chinese-language films!

You know, apart from "Wolf Warrior 2", there are no other movies that can even break the 5 billion box office, let alone break the box office record of Chinese-language movies.

"I think it's very possible." Chen Fei nodded in agreement, and then said bluntly: "Let's give it a try. The release date of The Wandering Earth will be this summer, July 26th. Let's see if we can break a new box office record for Chinese-language films."

The issuing manager at the side nodded in agreement and hurried off to fill out the application documents.

Guo Fan also came to his senses at this time: "Then...then I'll take the finished film to the Film Bureau for review first?"

Fade Chen nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Watching Guo Fan's back disappearing in the screening room, Chen Fei suddenly thought of the movie "Shanghai Fortress" invested by China Film.

I don’t know how La Peikang plans to arrange this movie?

Judging from the time, the post-production of "Shanghai Fortress" should be almost finished. After all, the filming of this movie took half a year.

However, what Chen Fei didn't know was that while he was attending the internal screening of "The Wandering Earth", the finished film "Shanghai Fortress" was also being played in the China Film Group's film screening room on the other side.

"Shoot at me!"

When Lu Han roared out this line on the big screen, La Peikang was so excited!

"Good! Good! This line is well designed! So exciting! Hahahahaha!"

Seeing that his leader was so satisfied, Teng Huatao immediately flattered him: "It's still your guidance, Mr. La. The film can have the current effect, all relying on your real-time follow-up and guidance."

La Peikang was very pleased, but he didn't take credit for it rashly: "Haha, my strength is limited after all, it's mainly due to the efforts and hard work of all the cast and crew members..."

He doesn't need to claim the credit for this. If the movie is a big hit at the box office, he will definitely be able to claim the biggest share of the credit!

At this time, seeing that the movie was about to end, Teng Huatao hurriedly said, "By the way, Mr. La, I plan to take the finished film to the Film Bureau for review tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the rest."

"Okay, let China Film Group handle the publicity and promotion."

La Peikang agreed without any hesitation.

"So how do you plan to schedule the release of this movie? I can also prepare early."

"Just during the summer vacation."

As the chairman of China Film Corporation, La Peikang knows a lot.

You definitely can't go to this year's National Day holiday because that is the competition ground for "main theme commercial blockbusters" and "Shanghai Fortress" will definitely be affected if you go there.

As for the Lunar New Year holiday, he plans to give "Eight Hundred", which is currently in the filming stage, a try.

In this case, the only time left that is most suitable for the survival of "Shanghai Fortress" is naturally the summer vacation.

"Okay." Teng Huatao responded enthusiastically.

So far, there has not been a pure "hard science fiction" in the Chinese science fiction film market.

The emergence of "Shanghai Fortress" can be regarded as filling this gap.

Teng Huatao still clearly remembers the slogan he shouted at the film project launch conference. This time, he vowed to kick open the door to Chinese science fiction films!

…

After a night, it was February 12th.

After getting up at around nine in the morning, Chen Fei first ran on the treadmill for 40 minutes, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

While eating, he took out his mobile phone and took a look at today's hot searches.

"On its seventh day of release, Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World grossed 221 million yuan in a single day. As of now, the film has been released for a full week, with a total box office of 2.237 billion yuan."

"The comedy/romance film "It Started with a Kiss," directed by Chen Yushan and starring Wang Dalu, Lin Yun, Li Mingshun and others, held its premiere press conference in Beijing this morning. The film will be officially released on Valentine's Day, February 14."

"Yesterday, the article "On the performance creation of Bai Xiaowen in the TV series "White Deer Plain"" compiled by Zhai Tianlin was removed from CNKI."

"At 8:00 this morning, the Beijing Film Academy, where Zhai Tianlin's doctorate was awarded, said the school had issued a statement on "Zhai Tianlin's involvement in academic misconduct," claiming that the academy attached great importance to the matter and would handle it in accordance with relevant regulations after investigating the matter.

At the same time, Peking University Guanghua School of Management officially launched an investigation into Zhai Tianlin's "involvement in academic misconduct" and had face-to-face communication with Zhai Tianlin himself.

The New Year atmosphere has passed, and the heat of the Spring Festival period has temporarily come to an end, and Dr. Zhai has once again made a "grand appearance"!

Looking at the complaints and insults from the college students in the comment section, Fade Chen couldn't help but want to laugh.

I think Dr. Zhai must have had a very unhappy New Year.

After all, his ancestors have all been cursed by angry netizens. How could he be happy?
