Chapter 490: Another year of college entrance examination.
The sensational effect "Avatar" brought after its release in North America naturally aroused the curiosity of European audiences. What kind of film is it that caused such a big stir in the United States?
The North American film market has always been the benchmark for European films. Because of similar cultural awareness, every film that sells well in North America generally has high box office results in Europe.
Therefore, since "Avatar" won the first week box office championship in North America, many distributors from European countries went to the United States to seek cooperation with Han Fei.
The entry of "Avatar" into the European film market is a natural process, not to mention that with the foreshadowing of "Hero", the name Han Fei is not unfamiliar to the ears of European movie audiences.
Therefore, it is natural for "Avatar" to be popular in the European market, and what is more interesting is that European countries seem to have a deeper understanding of freedom than the United States. Many people of different races in Europe have made comments after watching the movie.
A series of parades.
And with the "experience" of the American Indian Parade, they also naturally carried out cosplay. Sometimes, when Han Fei watched the news reports in Europe, he often saw a group of people painting themselves blue. The scene was simply eye-catching.
.
But no matter what, the effect is still very good, and the box office of "Avatar" has soared in Europe.
Han Fei did not go to Europe. Instead, after finishing "Avatar" in North America, he returned to China and stayed in the United States for four months. The Chinese New Year has already passed.
The media didn't know where they got the news. Han Fei was blocked as soon as he got off the plane.
"Han Fei, may I ask, how do you feel about [Avatar] achieving such a high box office in North America?"
Han Fei spread his hands: "What do you think? This is not the first time."
Okay, this person pretends to be very hardcore, but I have to admit that they do have the capital to pretend. Three completely different styles of movies, "The Wandering Earth", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "Heroes", are all making money in the North American film market.
A lot of money arrived.
Even if Hollywood refuses to recognize Han Fei's status, it cannot erase the fact that this time "Avatar" has been raging in the North American film market for more than a month. Several Hollywood blockbusters tried to stop it, but in the end it became
Background board.
After showing off, Han Fei ignored the reporters and got into the car under the escort of airport security.
Passing by a flower shop, Han Fei suddenly felt something in his heart. He asked the driver to stop the car, then put on a mask and walked into the flower shop. Since the epidemic, wearing a mask when traveling has become the norm, and no one looked at Han Fei with suspicion.
.
"Boss, bring me a bouquet of baby's breath and lavender."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The landlady was very quick with her hands and feet, and she wrapped it up quickly. After paying the money, Han Fei got into the car with the flowers and went all the way back to the villa.
Li Yanan was still at work at this point, and Han Fei didn't tell her that she would be back today. Life still needs some surprises, right?
Li Yanan was actually a straight girl. She didn't like roses, but she only loved gypsophila and lavender. When passing by the flower shop, Han Fei suddenly remembered that he had never sent her flowers before, so he bought a bouquet.
When Li Yanan came home from get off work, she was hugged from behind as soon as she walked in. She subconsciously twisted her back.
"ah!"
...
"No, please be gentler." Han Fei grinned.
While rubbing safflower oil on him, Li Yanan said angrily: "Who made you so childish? You deserve it."
Well, maybe it was because Li Yanan looked more and more ladylike nowadays, so much so that Han Fei almost forgot about the fighting power of this person who pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.
"Haha, you're still angry, you cheapskate." After applying the safflower oil, Han Fei stared at Li Yanan dully. Li Yanan was amused for a while. Sure enough, even if the man is thirty years old, he is still a child.
Alas, he couldn't pretend anymore. Han Fei rubbed his wrist and took out the bouquet of baby's breath he bought in advance from the room. Li Yanan took it with a smile, feeling slightly moved in his heart.
While Li Yanan was stunned, Han Fei took the opportunity to pick her up and closed the door amidst Li Yanan's screams.
The next day, Li Yanan went to work feeling refreshed, while Han Fei was still lying in bed with sleepy eyes, and didn't get up until noon.
On the table are still the sandwiches and milk prepared by Li Yanan. Hey, when will this girl learn Chinese food?
In the past two years, Han Fei also felt very tired and simply planned to rest at home for a while. Even Jiang Qinghou and the others had no intention of intervening in their new movie.
As a result, it began to spread on the Internet that Han Fei would quit film and television production and turn to corporate management. To put it bluntly, he would change from a film and television practitioner to a capitalist.
"In fact, Han Fei has already been a part of the capital. From the moment he acquired and established the theater chain, his goal was destined to build a huge film and television empire. And don't forget, although [Feiniao Film and Television] is still
It has not been listed on the market, but its market value has reached 100 billion. The actual controller of a company with a market value of 100 billion has far more important things to do than making movies."
I have to say that this report still has a certain degree of credibility. Although the profits from each of Han Fei's movies over the years are quite good, considering the production cycle and cost, it is nothing.
Compared with other departments of "Feiniao Film and Television", the film group actually contributes less than one-fifth of the profit every year. It makes sense for Han Fei to focus on management.
In addition, in Jiang Qinghou's new film, Han Fei not only did not appear in the film, he even did not participate at all. You must know that this situation has never happened before.
Although Jiang Qinghou's crew is already the most professional crew in China, without Han Fei's participation, netizens still feel empty.
Undoubtedly, in the minds of netizens, Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou's crew are the real souls, because as a director, Jiang Qinghou must make compromises in many places, just like the billion-dollar investment in "Avatar" this time, in addition to
Han Fei decided, who dares to spend such money?
To netizens, Han Fei is like a flag, an uncompromising pursuit of film art. Now that flag has fallen, to use a more popular term, it means: My youth is gone.
The outside world made a fuss, but Han Fei never came forward to clarify. It was not until Jiang Qinghou's new film "Operation Red River Valley" started filming that reporters discovered his presence again.
As a result, no one paid attention to the launch press conference. All the reporters rushed up and surrounded Han Fei.
Han Fei also knew that his answer would not satisfy the reporters. They would not interview the crew, so he had no choice but to answer one by one.
"Han Fei, there are reports that you will completely quit film and television shooting and focus on company management. Is this true?"
Han Fei shook his head and said, "Where did you hear this? It's nonsense."
"Then why have you not heard from me for so long, and why have you not participated in the production of this new film?" the reporter asked.
Han Fei shrugged: "I have been filming Avatar for two years, and I have never rested. I have been too tired recently, so I took a break. Is there any problem?"
It seems reasonable, but there are still reporters who are unwilling to give up.
"That means you will still be on the front line of film and television production in the future?"
Han Fei said word by word: "Of course, I said ten years ago that film and television dramas are made out of love, including all departments of Feiniao Film and Television, they exist to produce better and more outstanding film and television works. If
One day, when I leave this industry, there is only one possibility, that is, I no longer love it!"
"And it's definitely not because of money or other reasons!"
The news quickly spread throughout the Internet, and netizens couldn't help but have mixed feelings for a while. Indeed, as Han Fei said, the reason why he insists on making movies and TV dramas is because of his love. As for making money, he can do the same as many of his peers.
, making various sequels, selling feelings, and making bad money, isn’t it right?
But he didn't. The follow-up plot of Tomb Raiders Notes has never been filmed. He has been wandering the earth for several years, and there is no follow-up news. In fact, Han Fei's assets have been growing steadily. He did not become rich overnight.
It was revealed very early that Han Fei's assets exceed 10 billion, but he is still making movies conscientiously.
It’s easy to say that only if you don’t forget your original intention, but how many of them really do it? Although Han Fei still loves it, what if one day he no longer loves it? Netizens suddenly couldn’t imagine it.
Chinese films have made great progress in recent years. I dare not say that it is all due to Han Fei, but his existence has indeed given many film and television companies a sense of crisis and made them realize that the era of making money by lying down has passed.
However, if one day Han Fei stops making movies, will other film and television companies also relax?
Not only were netizens worried, but even the leaders were concerned and even asked Han Fei to meet.
"Look at what you said, I can't guarantee this. I can't keep making movies until I'm old, right? Besides, I can still retire when I get old."
The leader stomped his feet anxiously: "Don't give me that playful smile. You know better than me what the current situation is. The impact of this epidemic on Hollywood is far greater than ours. Now is the time for us to work hard to catch up. You can
Give me the right words."
Han Fei said sternly when he heard this: "Actually, the model of [Feiniao Film and Television] is already very mature. Whether I participate or not will not affect the quality of the film. As for the investment in special effects and industrial systems, I can guarantee that we will cooperate with the Hollywood giants."
Even."
"Actually, what China Film needs is not me, but more companies with mature models like [Feiniao Film and Television], right?"
The leader was silent, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Without you, would there still be Feiniao Film and Television?"
Han Fei was stunned and then smiled. Yes, from the moment he founded Feiniao Film and Television, this company has been engraved with his imprint, and he and it are inseparable.
Before leaving, Han Fei solemnly said: "Actually, if you are free then, you might as well come and watch Jiang Qinghou's new film, and you will understand."
"Okay, I will definitely be there." The leader nodded.
For a long time after that, Han Fei stayed at home, reading and playing guitar. He lived a very leisurely life. The earth would not be able to function without anyone. The news in the entertainment industry was updated at a speed that was dizzying. Gradually,
No one is talking about whether Han Fei will quit the front line of film and television.
Han Fei also took this opportunity to go home and spend some time with his family. Grandma's body was still strong, but her spirit was not very good. Sometimes she would look quietly at unknown places in a daze.
Han Fei suddenly understood why people call their lovers "wife" when they are old, because when you are in your dying years, only one person will accompany you to the end of your life.
Han Beibei is preparing for the college entrance examination, and Dong Jie has begun a chaotic life again. Not only does she have to take care of her grandma, but she also has to keep an eye on the little girl. The only thing that makes her feel relieved is that the little girl's grades are much better than those before Han Fei's college entrance examination.
.
Since his grandma moved back home, Han Xiao has stopped working overtime and applied for a more leisurely position. In his words, he can enjoy his retirement life in advance.
"Brother, what gift are you going to give me when I get into college?" Han Beibei looked at Han Fei expectantly.
Han Fei said angrily: "Go away, as long as you don't want to piss off your parents with your grades and hand in blank papers, you will still be rich after taking two exams. How can you still have the nerve to ask for gifts?"
Han Beibei was not happy when she heard this: "Huh, I knew it. With good grades, you have higher requirements. The second level is also very difficult. How many people in the country can't pass the second level?"
In order not to dampen the girl's enthusiasm, Han Fei decided to give her a little sweetener: "Let's do this. If you pass the exam, I will buy you a car."
"Okay, then I want a BMW k1600gt."
"No, don't even think about two wheels. Han Beibei, if you let me catch you playing with a motorcycle, be careful I'll cut off all your pocket money!" Han Fei became vigilant upon hearing this.
Han Beibei ran out of the room angrily: "Huh, old feudal."
Of course, saying so, cutting off pocket money was still very intimidating, and Han Beibei started bargaining with Han Fei the next day.
"Then, I want the latest Porsche 911 targa 4."
"What a beautiful idea. How can you be so open-minded about a book? At most, it's less than 300,000 yuan. I'll consider it if you get admitted to Qingbei." Han Fei refused without thinking.
"Ah~~~Damn it, Qingbei will be Qingbei."
Facts have proved that the reward effect of money is particularly significant. From then on, Han Beibei had a headache and thorns in his buttocks, reviewing as if risking his life.
Time flew by, and it was June in the blink of an eye. On this day, the whole family came to send Han Beibei into the examination room, which made the girl look disgusted.
"Oh, I told you not to come. Those who knew were sending me to the examination room, but those who didn't know thought they were sending me to the execution ground."
"This kid, why are you talking? Hurry up!" Dong Jie slapped her angrily.
"Okay~~~Bah~~~, okay? You guys should send grandma back quickly."
Han Beibei said she was disgusted, but in fact she was still worried about grandma. Everyone smiled bitterly. If they could persuade them, they wouldn't let grandma come. What this old kid said was absolutely right.
"Then I'm leaving, brother, don't forget my 911 targa 4."
Han Beibei waved her hand and walked into the examination room.
