Chapter 107 A rising tide lifts all boats【23】

Although Gao Fei had never considered movie investment before, now that the matter was settled, he didn't get too entangled.

On the same day, Han Li was asked to register a Goofy Studio and invest in the name of the company.

For this reason, Gao Fei inevitably had to work for a while.

After he finally took a break, "Myth" was finally released in theaters.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei naturally wanted to support Yi Er.

Because he was also very curious about what the final film would look like.

…

"Jack, are you really not Meng Yi?"

"...Yu Shu, we must leave here immediately!"

"You are not Meng Yi!!! I won't leave, I have to wait for Meng Yi to come back!"

"Meng Yi is dead! Hurry, it's too late."

"No, he's not dead yet, I have to wait for him to come back!"

Two hours later, when he saw Princess Yushu in fluttering white clothes on the big screen, floating weakly but firmly towards the collapsing heavenly palace behind her, Gao Fei finally couldn't help but sigh in despair.

As for Han Li and Zhao Liying on the side, they had already burst into tears.

But on the way back, she saw that Gao Fei's face was still very melancholy. The round-faced Zhao Liying held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked in confusion:

"Boss, don't you like this movie? I think it's pretty good-looking?"

Seeing Gao Fei's serious look, the little round face immediately added:

"Well, Boss You played Nangong Yan very handsomely! Especially the fighting scenes, he is so handsome!"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but give the flatterer a blank look.

But what Zhao Liying said was exactly the doubt in her heart.

Therefore, after the little round face finished speaking, Han Li couldn't help but look at Gao Fei curiously.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei did not remain silent any longer.

I saw him frowning slightly as he looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the car window, sighing softly:

"Of course the movie is a good movie, but it may not be so for Brother Cheng Long!

He was too successful before, so everyone's requirements, or expectations, for him have become very high.

Success in the ordinary sense is likely to be just mediocrity in his case."

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li immediately nodded in understanding.

She could even predict that the reputation of "Myth" after its release would not be very good.

Even she thinks "Myth" is an excellent movie.

However, due to human nature, the movie's evaluation in the media will inevitably be mixed.

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but frowned with concern.

When Gao Fei saw this, he understood what she was worried about, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, don't worry. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up."

"With Brother Cheng Long here, it's not my turn to take the blame. No matter what happens, the director will still be there to take the blame!"

Hearing this, Han Li thought about it and nodded in agreement.

But just in case, she decided to prepare in advance to avoid being led away by others.

…

Not to mention how Han Li was planning the next publicity strategy, Gao Fei felt much better after chatting with a few people for a while.

In fact, in his opinion, "The Myth" is a rather pity movie.

Why is it a pity?

Because there are many places where Tang Jili could obviously do better, but because of director Xiang Jiang’s impetuous mentality, the movie was not polished better.

For example, the war scene in the movie between the Meng family army and the rebels because of the elixir of life.

With the assistance of the troops and the participation of a large number of horsemen, the film actually has a good foundation in terms of material.

It's just a pity that Tang Jili's patience was limited, so he did not show a more grand war scene.

On the contrary, there are too many scenes in foreign countries, which makes people feel a bit indifferent.

But even so, the war scene in the movie is already a rare war scene in the domestic film industry.

But the more this happened, the more regretful Gao Fei felt, because the movie could have been better!

Problems like this also exist in the second half of the movie.

For example, the dreamy Heavenly Palace in the movie, although only half of it appears, seems to have already been written by Tai Shigong:

"Pass through three springs and lower the copper into the coffin;

Use mercury to imbue hundreds of rivers, rivers and seas;

It has astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and uses the mermaid ointment as a candle to save the momentum that is immortal and will last for a long time.

It is said that when filming, Gao Fei once heard that the crew spent about 60 million Hong Kong dollars on location selection.

Now think about it, if this money had been invested in the final Tiangong special effects, maybe the final effect of the movie would have been even better.

However, although "The Myth" has many flaws, they are ultimately outweighed by its flaws.

Especially what Brother Cheng Long said in front of Liang Jiahui in the movie made Gao Fei admire him the most.

“As long as it is someone else’s cultural relic, we must return it to them.

No one can take away other people’s cultural relics from other people’s countries and put them in their own country’s museums.

They say they are keeping it for others, but actually they want to keep it for themselves. This is a shameful act."

Gao Fei heard that this line, which criticized overseas museums for so-called "preserving cultural relics for backward areas," was not deleted at all even when it was released in more than 20 countries including Europe and the United States.

Gao Fei believed that with Brother Cheng Long's many years of experience in filmmaking, it was impossible for him not to see the impact of this line on the film's overseas box office.

But even so, he still chose not to delete a word.

Based on this alone, Gao Fei felt that it was worth filming his film!

…

And what happened after the movie "Myth" was released was exactly as Gao Fei expected.

After watching the movie, many viewers said that it was a rare movie.

Although Yu Shu's fate at the end of the movie is disappointing, they still feel that this ending is the real "myth".

But the audience's praise could not suppress the media's cynicism.

It was only the audience popularity accumulated by Brother Cheng Long over the years, as well as the excellent film quality of "The Myth", that ultimately allowed the film's box office to rise steadily despite mixed reviews.

After setting a box office record of 8 million yuan on the first day, it then set a record of 26.5 million yuan in the first weekend, the highest box office record of the year.

By the time Gao Fei joined the cast of "The Big Diamond," the box office of "The Myth" had already exceeded 100 million, becoming the fifth Chinese-language film in mainland China to have a box office of over 100 million.

For this reason, Brother Cheng Long specially held a celebration banquet in Beijing and invited him to attend, saying that he wanted to thank his fans for their support.

After all, "The Myth" currently has a box office of 110 million, and a lot of it was contributed by Goofy's fans.

After hearing that Gao Fei had already joined the set for filming and it was inconvenient to ask for leave, Brother Cheng Long specially gave him a red envelope of 500,000 yuan, saying it was a post-event bonus.

Now that he has money, Gao Fei will naturally not be polite to him.

However, even though Gao Fei did not go to the capital to attend the celebration banquet, he still received a lot of movie bonuses as the box office of "Myth" exceeded 100 million.

After all, there are only five Chinese-language films that have grossed over 100 million in domestic box office: "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves" and "Myth".

Among them, Goofy alone occupies two movies.

Although they are not the protagonists, they can be considered important supporting roles.

And this kind of resume is enough for him to be far ahead among the younger generation of actors.

Therefore, although he is no longer in the capital, there are still many actors in the industry who are so envious of him that they almost gnash their teeth and become separated.

It's just that he doesn't care at all about these high-flying things.

Because taking advantage of this wave of dividends, his market price rose again.

However, in just six months, his current commercial performance quotation has doubled from before.

But even so, Han Li still received one commercial performance invitation after another.

After learning about this situation, Gao Fei suddenly felt as if he had returned to the Chunfeng Tower in Tokyo.

Just one word: cool!
Chapter completed!
