The question-and-answer session only lasted for more than ten minutes. The reporters below all asked questions to him alone. Chen Feng came back with 7 questions and ended the session.
After that, it was time to cut the large cake. A large cake was made into a "100" three-dimensional shape, and Chen Feng himself cut it with a big cake knife. The ceremony was completed. The scene was filled with thunderous applause and great joy.
Everyone here had a share of this big cake, and everyone was happy.
In addition, Summit Entertainment has sent invitation letters to many companies in the entertainment industry, including Huihuang Entertainment, Dingsheng Entertainment, Tianhe Media and other large entertainment and cultural companies in the industry.
Originally this was just a courtesy, but as a result, these companies all sent representatives to participate. In addition to senior figures from their respective companies, they basically brought their own company's representative contracted artists or newcomers who wanted to give strong support and support.
.
According to rough statistics, there are no less than 60 people from these circles, and on average there are at least three people from each company.
With so many people coming to congratulate and cheer, Summit Entertainment certainly had to be polite and could only temporarily coordinate with the hotel to add a few more tables in the previously reserved hall.
Fortunately, we have a plan in this regard, so we won't be in a hurry.
There are a total of 22 tables in the three-story hall reserved by Summit, which is basically full. The scene is very lively, and many of them are big stars.
The invited reporters who also accepted the banquet basically didn't bother to sit down and eat. Instead, they held their cameras and took photos desperately.
Fortunately, they all accepted red envelopes from Summit Entertainment. After the banquet started, they did not run around or directly interview the celebrities. They just took photos at their own banquet with cameras. This is still allowed by everyone.
within the range.
Of course, Chen Feng sat at the main table. Except for Su Qian, the others at the table were representatives from the top ten companies in the industry, including the CEO of Tianhe Media who had laughed it off with Chen Feng before.
Dong Jianyue, this is also a big shot in the industry who is at the same level as Chen Feng. The other companies only send one vice president at most. Therefore, the seat of the same seat is directly determined according to everyone's position in their respective companies.
As a landlord, of course Chen Feng had to come out to socialize. He first toasted and spoke to these colleagues who came to support him. This was considered as giving these people enough face.
In fact, except for Dong Jianyue, who is at the same level as him, the rest of the vice presidents at the same table are now a step behind Chen Feng, the CEO of Summit Entertainment.
Fortunately, these people are all good people and can liven up the atmosphere very much. The situation is not awkward at all, and they all start chatting happily quickly.
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much for what happened last time. Come on, let me toast you a glass too." Dong Jianyue was very polite to Chen Feng, saying something in return, and drank up the glass of white wine in one gulp, which looked very impressive.
It's arrogance.
Chen Feng didn't have the capacity to drink like him. The only thing in his glass was red wine. Seeing this, he didn't drink it all in one gulp. He just smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Dong, I don't have the capacity to drink. I can only be mean. You
Don't mind."
Dong Jianyue quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't mind, I don't mind. Just do whatever you want."
If someone else didn't give him face like this, he would definitely be angry. But Chen Feng is naturally an exception.
"Thank you, thank you." Chen Feng said politely, then raised his glass to signal him, and took a sip to show that he understood what he meant.
Then several other entertainment company representatives at the same table also toasted to Chen Feng to express their congratulations. Chen Feng also clinked glasses with them one by one, and then took a sip meaningfully. On the contrary, those who toasted basically drank it all.
Seems very sincere.
After a while, the representatives of these companies couldn't help but bring up the topic of "The Condor", which was about to start filming. Although this TV series did not do any special promotion in advance, there is no doubt that because of its super luxurious lineup, it has already been released.
The photo became popular first.
There are expectations but also great controversies. The biggest controversy is that Jiang Xiaobai, a barely third-rate actor, actually became the lead, while Hu Fei, a double actor, only played a supporting role.
In addition, Li Yixue, one of the four little actresses, became the heroine, while Liu Qinfei, the same little actress, could only condescend to a supporting role. Because of this, it also triggered a quarrel between fans of both sides. Fortunately, after Li Yixue and Liu Qinfei found out, they quickly
Speak out to stop it, so that the fan war between the two sides will not escalate.
"Mr. Chen, can you tell us the general content of this drama?" A person asked with curiosity on his face.
Although Chen Feng had given out many scripts before, those who had received the scripts had basically not leaked them. Therefore, even these people, even the senior executives of their respective companies, did not know the specific content of "The Condor" in detail.
Seeing that everyone here was looking at him, Chen Feng summed it up in one sentence: "The main story is that the male protagonist Guo Jing broke into the world with the hatred of his family and country. With the help of the heroine's confidante Huang Rong, he passed countless experiences and finally grew up.
The martial arts story of the national hero "The Greatest Chivalrous Man."
"I heard that there are a lot of innovations in this martial arts film. Can you tell us about the specific innovations?" Another person asked immediately.
This isn't really a secret, and after all, it's nothing to just talk about at a banquet.
Chen Feng then briefly explained the aspects that distinguish "The Condor" from traditional martial arts in the past.
Everyone here is a smart person. Even if they have not read the script of "The Condor", after Chen Feng's introduction, they all have a general understanding of some of the characteristics of this martial arts drama.
As for the few people who have read the script, they feel more confident about "The Condor".
Among them was Dong Jianyue. Chen Feng gave him two supporting roles in the cast of "The Condor", and then at his request, the full version of the "The Condor" script was sent to him.
After Dong Jianyue read it, he admired Chen Feng's screenwriting ability. He had a vision, otherwise he would not have been the CEO of Tianhe Media for several years. After he read the script, he knew that "The Condor" would definitely be filmed.
Can explode.
Therefore, he tried his best to build a good relationship with Chen Feng and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation.
"Mr. Chen's ability is obvious to all. Although it is his first time to come into contact with martial arts dramas, I believe that after this martial arts drama is produced, it will definitely become a phenomenon-level national hit drama. It is a pity that our days
I have no chance to participate in this project together this time. If you have any good projects in the future, Mr. Chen, don’t forget about our Tianhe. If you want money, we will give you money. If you want people, we will give them. We are absolutely guaranteed to satisfy you.
.”
Dong Jianyue's obviously flattering words made everyone at the table feel strange. Tianhe Media, led by Dong Jianyue, had publicly broken with Chen Feng and Summit Entertainment before. But now, look at it, Dong Jianyue is such a
Boss, not only did he personally come to attend Chen Feng’s 10 billion box office celebration banquet, but he also licked her directly during the banquet.
This action only made several colleagues at the same table admire his deep-skinnedness.
"That's easy to say. Thank you, Mr. Dong, for looking up to me. If there are good cooperation projects in the future, I am actually very willing to cooperate with Tianhe and several other colleagues here."
When Chen Feng said these words, the representatives of various companies present at the table couldn't help but look surprised. Most of Chen Feng's previous films had only been co-operated with Tiandi Pictures, and the two recent films were solely owned by his own company.
His behavior is typical of being a solitary eater. This is what made everyone jealous and hateful in the first place. It is not uncommon for entertainment companies like them to have at least several, or even dozens of investors when making a movie. This is of course
Mainly because they are afraid of losing money if the movie does not do well at the box office, but it is also an unspoken rule in the industry: if you have money, everyone makes it together, and it is mutually beneficial.
But now Chen Feng has finally relented. Although it may be just polite words, this undoubtedly gives very good news to the representatives of the companies present. Now everyone is considered acquainted. As long as we deepen the relationship with each other in the future, maybe there will be
An opportunity to make money together by jointly making a movie together.
"We at Tiandi Pictures have cooperated with Mr. Chen several times before, and the results have been very good. In the future, we at Tiandi Pictures will continue to cooperate with Mr. Chen and Dingfeng on all-round entertainment development."
The person who said this was Zhang Ling, who recently took office as the deputy general manager of Tiandi Pictures. He used to be just a manager responsible for signing contracts and arranging films. This time he came to congratulate Chen Feng on behalf of Tiandi Pictures, and at the same time he was also responsible for further
The purpose of deepening the relationship with Chen Feng.
It can be said that Tiandi Pictures made a lot of money from Chen Feng's three previous films. However, Chen Feng rejected their investment in the last two films, but still allowed them to continue to be co-producers. But this is obviously not enough, at least not
I made more money before.
This naturally makes Tiandi Pictures a little dissatisfied, and at the same time they are also a little worried about Chen Feng's cooperation with other entertainment companies and theaters. Therefore, it is even more necessary to deepen the relationship with Chen Feng.
When Zhang Ling heard what Chen Feng said just now, he was naturally a little worried about cooperating with Tianhe and other companies, so he hurriedly said this, with the intention of declaring sovereignty. Everyone could hear this.
.
"I had a great time cooperating with Tiandi Pictures in the past, and of course I want to continue cooperating with you in the future."
Zhang Ling still has to give him face, after all, Chen Feng signed a contract with him for his first movie.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but be very happy after hearing Chen Feng's words. Then he took the initiative to change the topic and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen's sudden move to the small screen this time really surprised many people. However, in my opinion,
Come on, this will definitely be the beginning of another legend. Mr. Chen, if you can achieve such brilliant results on the big screen, you will naturally be even more comfortable on the small screen. I am looking forward to this martial arts drama of yours."
Dong Jianyue smiled and said: "I have just said that the martial arts drama "The Condor" is destined to become a popular drama among the people. I am also looking forward to it. However, I am very curious, Mr. Chen, how did you convince Hu
Fei, the best actor, and actress Liu Qinfei play supporting roles?"
Several other people looked at Chen Feng very curiously after hearing this, waiting for his answer. In fact, this matter has been discussed on the Internet for a long time. The fact is similar to what most netizens speculated, that is, Chen Feng gave
They promised benefits.
However, it is definitely not easy to talk about this kind of thing here. So, Chen Feng laughed and said: "The main reason is that they all think this martial arts drama is very good, and these two supporting characters are the second characters in the drama. In fact, the role of
It's also very heavy, and it's very impressive when it's finished. They gave me some face after my persuasion, so they agreed."
Everyone looked surprised, but of course they knew in their hearts that this was not the main reason. As for what the main reason was, everyone knew it. Chen Feng must have promised them benefits. Benefits that could make both the actor and actress excited.
It will definitely be a future movie by Chen Feng.
And these people accepted the invitation this time to congratulate Chen Feng on his movie's total box office exceeding 10 billion, and to add luster to his face. In fact, it was also for Chen Feng's future movies and TV series. The first thing they did was to establish a good relationship with him first, and then form a joint venture in the future.
It is possible to make money through auctions; in addition, I also want to find a good resource for the artists in my company.
For example, in "Crazy Stone", not all the actors were from Summit Entertainment. Several of them, such as the security captain and Brother Dao, were not actors from Summit Entertainment. Then, after they made this movie, they all became popular.
.This is why I got the spotlight from Chen Feng’s movies.
For another example, there are several actors in the movie "Sweet Honey" who are not from Summit Entertainment, especially Zhang Zhiwei, who plays an important role and is recognized for his acting skills. He is from Feihua Entertainment and has always been a semi-popular actor.
He has been in many movies and TV series, but there is no role that can be deeply remembered. The main reason is that he looks too ordinary.
As a result, everyone remembered him because of his role as Leopard Brother in "Sweet Honey". As a result, he became famous again. He was almost forty years old, and he really got a taste of being a star.
Their real-life experiences have naturally attracted the envy of many entertainment companies and their artists.
They also want to get opportunities similar to Brother Dao and Brother Bao, which is the main purpose of their coming here this time.
In the middle of the banquet, many celebrities and representatives of other low-ranking companies in the industry came over to toast Chen Feng. This was a normal social procedure.
There were too many people, so of course it was impossible for Chen Feng to toast and drink with them one by one. At most, he just wanted to take a small sip. But even so, no one could say anything to him.
Now his status as a celebrity in the industry has been completely stabilized. The title of director with a box office of tens of billions is his most dazzling lifelong honor and the most important comment on his status in the industry.
Therefore, it is very natural for representatives of these same companies and celebrities to come over to toast him and fawn over him.
Of course, Chen Feng had nothing to lose. Instead, he greatly expanded his contacts with Summit Entertainment through such an opportunity. This is also the opportunity that Su Qian and Jia Yong have always wanted.
Summit Entertainment is still too small compared to other companies in the industry. If it wants to expand, it must have some connections within the industry.
