The total box office of "Charlotte Troubles" exceeded 3 billion, reaching 3.05 billion Tang Dynasty coins. Compared with the box office of "The Eight-Story Demon Tower" which was less than 1 billion, it was more than twice as much.
There is no doubt that in the box office competition between these two movies, "Charlotte" won too much and is completely incomparable.
Now that the previously released task has been completed, Chen Feng has gained one point in appearance and one level in acting skills. Such rewards are really better than nothing. On the contrary, the two cheats of Director Mastery and Acting Mastery given by the system during the previous system mission
The skill was withdrawn by the system again.
This made Chen Feng feel that he had lost 2 billion, and the loss was completely out of proportion to the gain. Therefore, even if the task was completed, Chen Feng did not feel very happy, but rather depressed.
This state of affairs reflected at work that the crew's filming today was not going very smoothly. Fortunately, Chen Feng had the foresight to shoot some difficult scenes and scenes.
This suddenly dropped from the top level of directors and actors to the second or third rate. It was really difficult for Chen Feng to adapt.
In addition, after knowing that I was in this situation, my self-confidence was of course somewhat frustrated, and I obviously felt a little difficult in handling some shots and controlling the scenes.
This naturally slowed down the shooting progress. I didn’t even have to work overtime at night to shoot.
Fortunately, no one had any doubts about Chen Feng's directing ability, and they all felt that his bad mood affected the shooting state. Because of this, Li Manyu and Tong Xiaohui even asked his concerned people to ask him not to be affected by the outside world.
The impact made him dumbfounded.
However, with their relief, my mood became somewhat better. Although the shooting on the second day was still not in the same state as before, it was generally carried out according to the planned schedule.
Su Qian also brought him good news. After Chen Feng and Li Manyu both took the unscrupulous media to court, most of them privately approached Su Qian and hoped for reconciliation.
After some bargaining, Susie received some symbolic settlement fees from the other party, and then successively signed out-of-court settlement agreements with them.
It's not that Chen Feng doesn't want to fight to the death with these media. One is that it's meaningless. These media are originally paid to do things. Now that they take the initiative to give in, they can quickly recover some of Chen Feng's previous reputational losses; the other is that Chen Feng's side
We have found the mastermind behind the scenes, and there is really no need to fight with these unscrupulous media and sacrifice the good for the bad.
Therefore, within two days, these unscrupulous media outlets that originally reported Chen Feng and Li Manyu's affair published apology statements prominently on the front pages of their newspapers.
Because of the public statements of Chen Feng and Li Manyu, as well as the complaints sent to the court by the lawyers of both parties, not many media outlets have deliberately smeared Chen Feng and Li Manyu. Now most of the unscrupulous media have publicly informed the two of them.
Apologize, and no media is stupid enough to sing the opposite and smear the two of them at this time.
The remaining small number of media have no intention of reconciling with Chen Feng and Li Manyu. They either don't care. They have already practiced the ability to litigate and mess around with others; or they think they can take the opportunity to create hype.
Increase your popularity, or you may feel that your background is tough.
In short, this small group of media is determined to confront Chen Feng and Bo Bo in court.
Of course, Chen Feng and Li Manyu have nothing to hesitate about. One of them is not short of money, and the other wants to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, so that they will not be remembered by these unscrupulous media in the future. They are also determined to do it.
Let these unscrupulous media pay the price.
After a few days of this, almost two-thirds of the film "Sweetness" has been filmed. The remaining one-third, there are not many scenes in Shencheng.
Chen Feng is quite satisfied with being able to make such progress in half a month. Originally, he planned to shoot the film in two or three months, but now it seems that it may be filmed in a little more than a month.
Finished. This is because Chen Feng planned to go to New York to shoot the last scene, which slightly extended the cycle, otherwise it would save more time.
On this day, around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng announced the end of the show. He had no intention of working overtime in the evening.
He went back to the hotel to eat, took a shower, and was about to study some of the shots taken today. Now he does not have the director proficiency skill, he only has the director level 3 level, and the director proficiency is at least equivalent to the full level 10. Now, all of a sudden
After dropping 7 levels, the gap is quite big.
Fortunately, Chen Feng had written the shooting script in advance and had annotated almost every shot. If Chen Feng could shoot according to the information he had when he was at full level, there would generally be no problem. But in this case
In some details, it is definitely not comparable to before.
Therefore, every time he returns to the hotel, he still has to carefully read the content he shot that day several times, analyze the pros and cons of the shots, and make a summary. This is also the main reason why he has not let the crew start working at night these days.
reason.
Because if he rushes the work further, Chen Feng is afraid that the quality will not be able to keep up.
Just as Chen Feng was studying the contents of today's shooting, his cell phone rang. When he saw that the number was actually called by Chang Lingyu, Chen Feng suddenly remembered the song he had promised to write for her.
In fact, he had already chosen a song for her in his music library early in the morning. However, he couldn't just send the song to her in two or three days. This would make it too easy to write songs by himself.
, the attitude is not correct.
Therefore, Chen Feng had planned to wait two or three days before sending the song to her. It was just because the system tasks completed a few days ago and the system took back his two cheating skills, coupled with the miscellaneous things of the crew, it was completely scattered.
It distracted him. Therefore, he forgot about sending a song to Chang Lingyu.
I just remembered it now when I saw her calling.
"Hello." Chen Feng felt a little unreasonable. After answering the phone, he took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Director Chen." Chang Lingyu said politely.
Chen Feng then took the initiative and said: "Are you here for the song? I just wrote it yesterday and am planning to revise it and send it to you."
"Ah...really? Thank you so much." After Chang Lingyu finished speaking excitedly, she quickly explained, "Director Chen, don't get me wrong. I'm not calling you this time to urge you to sing. The main thing is
I know a piece of news. It seems that Tianhe Media is secretly collaborating with several major entertainment companies in the country to secretly ban you and find a way to prevent the two movies you are filming from being released."
Chang Lingyu did not sell out the news and directly told Chen Feng the news she knew.
This forced Chen Feng to accept her favor. If she hadn't told him, Chen Feng really wouldn't have known about the news. Although he wasn't very worried that these colleagues would unite against him, it was still necessary to know in advance and take precautions.
"Is this news accurate?" Chen Feng asked.
"We are inseparable from each other." Chang Lingyu emphasized, "My agent overheard Liang Qifa talking to Dong Jianyue, the CEO of Tianhe, about this in the company."
Chen Feng muttered: "So, your boss Tianhe is going to target me now."
Chang Lingyu smiled bitterly and said: "Director Chen, don't you know the influence you have in the domestic entertainment industry now? You have publicly selected actors, strongly signed actresses, and invested in two movies in a row. Again.
In addition, your second movie broke the box office record of domestic movies. This is certainly a good thing for our domestic film industry, but for our peers, it is like a scourge coming to steal their food, and even
How can they sit back and watch you and your company continue to grow if you want to destroy their jobs? They will definitely jointly suppress you or even kick you out directly."
Of course Chen Feng knew this problem, but he asked himself that he relies on his ability to make a living, and everyone depends on their own ability. Fans will definitely not buy it if your movie is bad, and the box office will naturally be bad. If your movie is good, even if the director and actor are famous
It's little-known, but the audience will still buy it, and the box office will naturally be high.
If you are jealous of the success of your peers' movies and the high box office, you will secretly collude with other peers to use off-market tactics to jointly suppress or even slander and boycott. This is definitely not a good thing for the entire industry. It is bad money that drives out good money. The entire industry will definitely not be very good.
big development.
"Okay. I understand. Anyway, thank you." Chen Feng thanked you first, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why did you tell me this news? After all, you are Tianhe's first sister. If you do this, you
feel……"
Of course Chang Lingyu knew what she meant. Even though she was doing it for Chen Feng's good, she was betraying her company's secrets and was considered a whistleblower. This character was somewhat unflattering.
Chang Lingyu smiled bitterly and said: "My contract with Tianhe is about to expire. Tianhe wanted to renew my contract at first, and the conditions offered were very good. But Meng Tingting suddenly became famous and impacted my career in the music industry.
After gaining the status, Tianhe took the opportunity to lower the price. When I wanted to fight back and defend my status in the music industry, Tianhe did not provide me with the help I deserved at all, and even made some small moves, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury. It really chilled me.
Therefore, I have planned to wait until the contract expires in six months and I will not renew the contract with Tianhe."
Chen Feng nodded and agreed with her explanation. Otherwise, she would be a bit too mean to betray the interests of the contracted company and harm the public and private interests. Since Tianhe was unkind at first, it would make sense for Chang Lingyu to be unjust.
"I see. If you are interested by then, you can sign with us at Summit Entertainment. We will definitely give you the best contract in the industry. And I will personally serve as your music producer."
Chen Feng just said casually, whether there are dates or not, it will be a matter of three poles. If it had been before Li Manyu signed the contract with his own company, he would not have had the courage. After all, the company's scale was still too small.
But now the company has begun to expand, not to mention that it has already signed a movie queen, so it doesn't matter if we sign another singer.
Chang Lingyu obviously didn't expect that Chen Fengfeng would suddenly invite her to sign a contract. After a brief moment of daze, she suddenly felt a little moved.
Of course, she had never thought about signing with Chen Feng's company before, but now she heard that Chen Feng said that he could give him the best contract in the industry, and also let him be his own music producer. This was equivalent to a song that arranged for her.
.
Think about Meng Tingting, she was already an "old singer" who was about to expire, but after Chen Feng wrote a few songs for her, she has become popular again and is even more popular than before. Who in the industry doesn't know that this is almost completely
It is Chen Feng’s contribution.
But can Chen Feng ensure that the songs he writes will always be good songs? This point has to be questioned. At least, let’s first see what song he wrote for himself this time.
Thinking of this, Chang Lingyu smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for looking up to me. However, it is a bit early to say this now. After all, Tianhe and I still have more than half a year. In addition, I want to follow Tianhe
There are some procedures for the termination of the contract, and I think it will be almost a year before the contract can be terminated smoothly."
Chen Feng is not a fool. The contract expires in half a year and can be terminated smoothly after one year. It is really an exaggeration. He is not anxious about whether Chang Lingyu can join his company. So he doesn't care about this with her and just goes with it.
Then he said: "Okay. Let's talk about this later. If you don't have anything else to do, hang up first. I'll modify your song and then send it to your email. Send me your email address via text message."
That’s fine.”
"Okay. I'll send you your email address right away."
A few minutes later, Chen Feng chose "I Do" by Sister Fei from the original time and space from his music library. Originally, he planned to give "Easily Injured Woman" by Sister Fei. After all, this is also a classic song.
But it's definitely not as high-quality as "I Do" in terms of style.
In view of her need to report this time, Chen Feng temporarily changed the song for her.
Chang Lingyu's voice quality and personal temperament are more in line with the original sister Fei, but her singing method is a bit surprising. But Chen Feng has no intention of correcting Chang Lingyu's singing method. The song "I Do" uses her current singing style.
With her singing style and voice, I believe it will become a classic.
Even Chen Feng thinks that the song "I Do" will completely crush "Conquer". After all, the two have different levels. Maybe "Conquer" is more down-to-earth, but it is not suitable for long-term circulation. It will be released in three or four years at most.
Not many people sing it anymore, and they may even get bored after hearing it again, but even after more than ten years, many people will sing this song on KTV, and everyone will still feel very happy when they hear it.
Nice to hear.
This is the difference in the appeal of the two songs. Ten years later you will feel ashamed when you sing "Conquer", but you will still feel full of appeal when you sing "I Do" ten years later.
After Chen Feng sent over the score of "I Do", he concentrated on studying the content of today's shooting.
But within ten minutes, Chang Lingyu called again.
"Mr. Chen, I like this song so much, very much. You are really a genius. I am very satisfied with this song. I will call you two million right away. Will it be sent to your personal account or to Summit Entertainment?"
Chen Feng didn't expect her to be so cheerful, and he was quite satisfied, so he said: "Private account. However, we still have to formally sign an agreement. However, it's not urgent. You can wait until I return to Beijing to sign it."
