In early November, Tailang Entertainment hosted a celebration party for "Infernal Affairs".
This celebration was even grander than that of "Crazy Stone" because part of the initial investment in the movie was divided, and several companies could share in the high box office dividends of "Infernal Affairs", which made many people very happy.
I was very happy and excited, and actively pushed to make the celebration party as exciting as possible.
Moreover, because "Infernal Affairs" set a new box office record for Chinese-language movies, many people in the industry also attended this event. Most of them wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with Chen Feng and Tailang Entertainment. After all, maybe
There will be opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the future.
By now, everyone can see clearly that if they can get on the line with Chen Feng, they may get unexpected surprises.
Especially Wu Hengjiang of Beidou Entertainment. He was deeply impressed by Chen Feng after watching "Infernal Affairs". At this time, he had great expectations about whether he could have a deeper cooperation with Chen Feng.
Although the final box office of the film "Deep Space Trek" can be regarded as meeting initial expectations, it actually did not make much money, and even the return on investment ratio was very low.
Coupled with the polarizing reputation of the "Deep Space Trek" movie itself, the title of the so-called first Chinese science fiction blockbuster was not recognized by most people in the end.
Is "Deep Space Trek" good to watch? It's actually quite good.
But is "Deep Space Trek" a true Chinese science fiction blockbuster?
Many people don't agree with this.
After all, this movie is more like a suspense thriller in a closed space. Although it has a little bit of science fiction, it is really not the hard-core science fiction blockbuster that people imagine.
And just after the first period of October, several foreign science fiction movies have been introduced into the current movie market. These movies have begun to be released one after another. The reputation seems to be good, and the quality of the movies is indeed better than "Deep Space Trek"
a lot of.
This has caused more viewers and movie fans to begin to realize the gap between Chinese-language films and foreign blockbusters, and some people have even begun to criticize Beidou Entertainment and "Deep Space Trek", believing that they have failed to carry the banner of Chinese-language science fiction blockbusters.
This made Wu Hengjiang a little uncomfortable, because when Beidou Entertainment invested in the production of "Deep Space Trek", on the one hand, the company needed to transform, but on the other hand, it also enjoyed the support of many upper-level policies, and had a certain mission nature.
.
Therefore, although the box office is barely adequate, the reputation has not been established, which makes many people dissatisfied.
Wu Hengjiang naturally has to bear the consequences of this.
Therefore, Beidou Entertainment now urgently needs to prove itself again and prove Chinese science fiction movies. It is with this mentality that Wu Hengjiang is very eager to talk to Chen Feng.
I just don’t know if Chen Feng, who has created two miracles in a row, has any unique insights in science fiction movies.
…
In addition to Wu Hengjiang, there are many people who have the same idea as him. Everyone knows that the film market is developing rapidly, and those who can create high-box office movies are the most popular ones!
Although in the eyes of many outsiders, movies are written by screenwriters, shot by directors, and performed by actors. These people may be the ones who receive more attention, but many people in the industry take a deeper look, because among these
Behind him stands an even more important leader and investor, and that is Chen Feng.
Every year, many movies are produced in the film market. Some movies are released and the box office is a hit, but there are also more movies that are released, but there is no splash at all. In fact, most of the movies have no chance to be released, and they are not even released after filming.
No chance to be exposed, not even able to finish the photo...
Directors, screenwriters, actors, crew members... among countless filmmakers, sometimes the leaders and investors behind the scenes are the key to ultimately determining the fate of a film.
Obviously, Chen Feng played this role very well during the filming of "Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs".
Moreover, some well-informed people have also learned from various channels that Chen Feng sometimes personally participates in the filming process of the film. Sometimes he can even ask some very critical and important questions, and even
Participate in the creation and revision of the script together with the screenwriter.
From this point of view, Chen Feng is almost an all-round talent!
He has vision, courage, leadership ability, money, and is an expert. It is strange that such a person does not make money when making movies.
…
If Chen Feng knew that he now had such an image in the eyes of others, he would probably laugh silly himself.
In fact, Chen Feng's personal ability is far less powerful than the exaggerated claims. Chen Feng himself knows that his biggest reliance on the success of two consecutive movies is actually the memory in his dream world.
"Crazy Stone" and "Infernal Affairs" themselves are classics among classics. It is difficult to fail if they are placed in this similar world. Moreover, because the film style is unique, this freshness can drive the box office even more. Therefore, these two films are currently
It takes two movies to explode one after another.
To be able to achieve such an achievement, Chen Feng first wants to thank himself for his life in a dream.
Of course, there are not only these two films in the dream world, but also many other masterpieces, including many foreign classics in that world.
If there is a chance, Chen Feng would not mind reproducing these things. After all, classic works should not be covered with dust.
However, Chen Feng also knows that everything needs to be done step by step, and he must not mess around before the time is ripe.
As for when the time will be mature, it depends on what changes will occur in the film market in this world.
…
When the day of the celebration banquet actually arrived, Chen Feng behaved very low-key.
Throughout the banquet, Xu Tailang had been taking the lead, while Chen Feng only occasionally greeted everyone and made a few brief remarks. There was not much that stood out.
However, after the banquet officially started, many people began to want to say a few words to Chen Feng.
Many people came to the scene, including many industry leaders and some celebrities, including some actors and staff from the crew of "Infernal Affairs". Everyone was very happy and excited, but Chen Feng only stayed for a while and quietly left.
Disappeared silently.
"Where did Chen Feng go?"
"I don't know, I'm looking for him too."
"Did he leave? He wouldn't be so disrespectful to all of us..."
No one answered. Even if Chen Feng didn't give him face now, there was nothing they could do.
So, where did Chen Feng go? It was a bit unreasonable to leave like this not long after the banquet started.
A friend who was familiar with Xu Tailang pulled Xu Tailang over to ask, but he could not get the result.
"Chen Feng, maybe he went to discuss things with someone. He should be back soon..."
