The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 113

Just after Children's Day, DreamWorks officially announced the starring role of "Source Code".

The male lead is Hu Ge, and the female lead is Wan Qian.

Compared with Chen Jingxing's imperial appointment of Hu Ge, Wan Qian was really killed out of thousands of troops, and there are still many actresses competing for this role.

Xu Wenshen decided on the female lead, while Chen Jingxing took time to fly back to the capital, and finally made a final decision after watching the audition.

Hu Ge, as a first-line actor in China, has many fans and a high degree of nationality. This news naturally triggered a group of entertainment media reports.

It can be regarded as providing another wave of enthusiasm for "Source Code" and even "Signal".

Of course, this is the marketing node selected by DreamWorks. Film and television dramas must maintain exposure from project establishment preparation to post-shooting, let alone such large-scale projects as "Signal" and "Source Code".

The best marketing result is to keep it in the public eye until it is released, which is one of the reasons why film and television dramas need popular stars.

For example, the fight between two top fans, Luo Chen and Wu Tingxuan, kept "Signal" popular, and of course "Illusion City" also benefited.

……

"Cut! That's right!" Chen Jingxing yelled holding the guide tube, and clapped his hands a few more times.

Following his movements, the crew members also applauded sparsely, forming a loud echo in the empty studio.

This is a scene where the hero played by Luo Chen fights a serial killer. The actor Wang Pei'an who plays the serial killer wears a blue glove on his right hand for special effects later.

Luo Chen took a breath, and showed a relieved smile. It is true that this scene has been filmed too many times.

Luo Chen has also made a lot of movies over the years. Not to mention how good his acting skills are, at least he has mastered certain methods. "Signal" is not a movie that explores acting skills, and there are actually very few NGs in the genre.

Martial arts is really difficult. It was so difficult that this scene was filmed for almost an afternoon, and even the back was bruised and bruised. After all, even if there is a double, the actors still have to do it all over again, and then the editing will be merged together.

Chen Jingxing finally understands the difficulty of filming scenes, this is just swinging Wang Baquan, it doesn't involve the more complicated moves of action movies and martial arts movies, and there is no need to use wires and tuning forks.

When he thinks of the fighting scenes in "Source Code", he has even more headaches. After all, for more commercial considerations, he wants to make the fights in the carriages in "Source Code" more design-oriented, and he definitely needs some tricks. And it also needs to show a little punch to the flesh.

After all, a good fighting design can also bring a better viewing experience to the audience.

However, Hu Ge has filmed a lot of martial arts scenes, and Luo Chen should be crushed in terms of experience in fighting scenes. In addition, he also invited a first-class martial arts team in China, so the filming may not be as difficult as today's scene.

Lei Jiayin, who had dyed gray and white hair and put on old age makeup, came up with a smirk and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder hard.

"Young man, you will basically bid farewell to costume dramas from now on. Such a move can hurt yourself, and the director dare not give you a wire. Didn't you dance before?"

Lei Jiayin's fighting scene was filmed the day before, which is strange to say, although he has never filmed any action scenes and martial arts movies, but he is good at tricks, and the movements are relatively in place, and he can pass three.

Luo Chen moved the corner of his mouth and made a hissing sound. His shoulders and back were covered with bruises. When he fell to the ground, he didn't grasp the strength properly. He rolled his eyes at Lei Jiayin's teasing.

In fact, he himself wondered, although he was not considered a dancer when he was still in the Korean group, he still had the basic skills of a trainee. Could it be that he has not returned to the stage for too long and his body has degenerated?

Feeling guilty for a while, he swallowed the words he wanted to refute, picked up the script again, and read the last scene of the film.

The dialogue in the last scene is simple, so for most people, the three-month filming period is officially over, and they can leave the studio in Hengdian early tomorrow morning and go back to their respective homes.

"Okay, prepare to transfer the venue, rest for half an hour, and we will shoot the last scene."

As soon as the words fell, most of the crew cheered.

Chen Jingxing said to Lei Jiayin and Luo Chen with a little jealousy: "You are finally liberated, and I will immediately join another crew to film."

Luo Chen looked at Chen Jingxing sadly: "If you give me the male lead of "Source Code", I can share weal and woe with you."

Chen Jingxing laughed dryly: "I just made a joke. You haven't shown up in public for three months. Fans must miss you. Hurry up to accept endorsements, shoot commercials, and rest. Don't worry, there will be someone suitable for you next time." character, I will notify you first."

Luo Chen naturally knew how to measure, he was just complaining casually, after all, which actor would not be greedy for "Source Code", but he is also a contented person, it is rare to be able to act in two plays of Chen Jingxing consecutively, And he does have a backlog of endorsements, advertisements, and some business activities waiting to be dealt with.

As the saying goes, clothing never travels at night. After "Fatal Identity" became popular in China, Chinese New Year would come soon. Not too long after the new year, he devoted himself to the filming of "Signal", although Chen Jingxing did not explicitly say that actors are not allowed to play Commercial performances, but obviously no one will spare time to participate in commercial activities during filming.

So in fact, Luo Chen has not finished dealing with the dividends brought to him by "Fatal Identity", let alone the new generation of Hallyu idols such as Wu Tingxuan and Lu Han returning to China one after another, the advertisers will not wait for him forever.

"Director, what about me?"

Chen Jingxing looked at Lei Jiayin's approaching face, and said angrily, "Don't worry, there will be suitable roles for you in the future, but if "Signal" hits the street, there will definitely be no next time."

"Then how can it be? Director, I heard that this film is scheduled for National Day?"

Chen Jingxing nodded and said, "Almost."

"How can the National Day file collect [-] to [-] million box office?"

Luo Chen looked disdainful: "Let your imagination go, Lei Ge, "Fatal Identity" has exceeded one billion."

The final box office of "Fatal Identity" excluding Huaguo and the Asia-Pacific region was close to 12 million US dollars, and the global total box office exceeded [-] billion yuan.

"I'm talking about the domestic box office. How much is a movie with a box office of over one billion in our country? This must lower expectations a little, and then there will be surprises."

Chen Jingxing still felt a lot of pressure in his heart when he heard the two of them arguing about the box office.

After all, it is the National Day file, and the box office performance of [-] to [-] million may not meet the requirements of the national film Qin Zhonghe to "support the box office market".

Although the National Day file will certainly not be the only movie "Signal" released, other studios besides National Film and United Cinemas will definitely airdrop the main show in the National Day file.

But if he doesn't win the box office champion by then, he might not be able to make a difference with Qin Zhonghe.

When it comes to national film, there is another worrying thing that Chen Jingxing needs to deal with - "Operation Mekong".
