This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 357 "Cheng Cheng" 1
The documentary begins.

The comments were very lively, refreshing at a rate of dozens per second:

【coming! 】

[Awesome, the documentary lasted one hour and fifty minutes! ]

[Almost catching up with a movie]

【I love the length!!!】

[Please prepare peanuts, sunflower seeds and drinks, and change to a comfortable posture to enjoy it slowly. ]

[My good brothers are here to see my wife again? 】

【My wife, my wife, my wife! 】

【My wife, I'll watch it first! 】

【You are all dreaming! 】

The documentary began playing, and the first thing that appeared was the dragon logo of Tianxia Film. Then, the names of a series of people including the production company, producer, chief planner, chief producer, supervisor, leading actor, director, director of photography, and editing director flashed by quickly.

At the end of the beginning, Cheng Cheng's name appeared.

Special thanks to: Cheng Cheng.

Then the screen went black.

There was a roar.

It's the cry of the zombies in the movie "Resident Evil".

The screen gradually lights up.

"In the early 90st century, Umbrella Corporation was the largest corporate entity in Serbia. % of households used its products, and its political and business influence was pervasive. On the surface, it was the world's leading supplier of computer technology and medical care. Even its employees were unaware that its huge profits actually came from military technology, genetic experiments, and biological weapons."

This is the opening introduction of "Resident Evil" that the audience is very familiar with!
With the background introduction sound, the staff members in the hive died one after another in extremely horrible ways.

Then, a pair of eyes with black pupils suddenly opened.

The camera slowly rotates and pulls away, and Jiang Nan wakes up while lying in the bathtub.

She changed into a red dress, followed the task force members deep into the hive, talked with the Red Queen, killed zombies, killed zombie dogs, killed traitors, obtained the T virus, killed the lickers, rushed out of the hive, and was captured.

Here, the documentary uses a montage technique, arranging and combining shots of "Resident Evil" shot in different locations, from different distances and angles, and using different methods, to quickly go through the plot.

The last shot is the ending of "Resident Evil".

Jiang Nan, wearing a white coat and holding a shotgun, stood under the doomsday scene and loaded the gun.

The theme song of "Resident Evil" sounded at the same time.

“Legends never die
They become a part of you
Every time you bleed for reaching greatness

Relentless you survive (gun and blood-stained red clothes)
"

[I still feel shocked when I see this scene now! ! ! ]

[The theme song is so fitting! ]

[Damn, I want to go watch the movie again! ]

【So cool! 】

【My Goddess】

The documentary technique is good, and it only takes the first three minutes to arouse the audience's emotions.

Then, the screen went black again.

Several lines of text gradually appeared on the screen:

[On October 2023, 10, Director Cheng Cheng led a team to Serbia to shoot "Resident Evil"]
[At this time, there are still 4 days until the start of filming and 46 days until the release]
[In the month before the filming of this movie, our team obtained permission to record the entire filming process.]
"Boom~"

A noisy white noise suddenly sounded, along with voices, the sound of luggage being dragged on the floor, and all kinds of other sounds, including the sound of an airplane taking off.

The screen slowly lights up.

Cheng Cheng appeared in the camera, and as soon as he appeared, he pointed at the camera:

“Is it turned on now?”

Qin Ping's voice appears in the documentary as a voice-over: "Yes, Director Cheng, this time we will film the entire process of your film "Resident Evil" from scratch, so we will start recording now."

In the picture, Cheng Cheng nodded: "Yeah."

Afterwards, Qin Ping introduced himself: "Hello, Director Cheng, let me introduce myself to you. I am a documentary director. My name is Qin Ping. I am very happy to meet you."

Cheng Cheng also extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Cheng Cheng, nice to meet you too."

Qin Ping then introduced his team members.

Cheng Cheng asked: "So you will follow me all the time, not leaving my side?"

Qin Ping: "Because our documentary not only records the production process of your film, but also shows your true private life. Therefore, most of the time, our photographers will be with you."

The documentary "Cheng Cheng" did not undergo excessive editing.

What Qin Ping wants is for the audience to feel involved.

He hopes that the camera lens can serve as the eyes of the audience, allowing them to witness the entire process of the film from preparation to completion to release.

At the same time, in this process, the audience can have a process of getting to know Cheng Cheng from unfamiliar to familiar.

Therefore, Qin Ping’s principle is not to edit if possible.

Moreover, the entire documentary is linear in time, allowing the audience to be in an undisturbed narrative rhythm.

At this moment, Cheng Cheng disappeared from the screen.

Here, one can clearly feel the cameraman's panic.

The next second, the camera turned.

Cheng Cheng reappeared in the picture, and he was seen holding a stranger's shoulders intimately. The stranger was like a quail, very nervous, and dared not move when Cheng Cheng held him, and was at a loss. Obviously, the stranger was the photographer of this documentary.

The comments were almost laughing to death:

【Once Beautiful】

[Finally I know what the cameraman looks like]

[Frog is not under control at all]

[You can never predict what Frog will do next second]

[Ahhhh, I also want to be hugged by Frog Brother! ]

【Envy the photographer】

【Nantong Against the Sky】

Cheng Cheng leaned in and looked at the camera screen. In the documentary, his entire face was in the picture. He said, "Then you shouldn't allow me to interfere with your filming arrangements, right?"
[Low EQ: I want to interfere with the filming; High EQ: You shouldn’t allow me to interfere with your filming arrangements, right? ]

The Art of Language

Outside the screen, Qin Ping's voice was trembling:
"Director Cheng, I know you are a great director with far greater accomplishments than I do, but in documentary filming, we hope to pursue authenticity and will avoid any behavior that may interfere with the natural flow of filming, including your direct intervention. However, if you have any valuable suggestions, we can communicate."

The audience felt sorry for him at this point:
["Do you have any valuable suggestions? We can communicate with you."]

【I am a top professional】

[What a humble director]

[I feel a little pitiful, what's going on? 】

[In front of Brother Frog, don't you try to be humble? 】

[Suddenly I felt the pressure from Brother Frog]

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng suddenly laughed in the screen and patted him on the shoulder: "Hahahaha, I understand, how could I not understand? I was just joking, you guys take your pictures, I won't interfere."

But the next second, his smile faded, he turned around suddenly and said seriously:

"Oh, by the way, don't cut this part in."

The barrage suddenly laughed:
["I Will Never Interfere" and "Don't Cut This Part In"]

[You call this non-intervention? ]

Got on the plane.

Cheng Cheng said to the camera:
"Director Qin, come and sit in first class. It's spacious and comfortable, and it arrives quickly."

The audience erupted again:

[Pfft~ We're splitting up, right?] [Beets!!!]

[? The same plane can have two speeds? ? ]

[? Aren’t the cabins connected? ]

[It actually makes sense. It's not an exaggeration. First class does arrive earlier than economy class because first class is usually at the front of the plane.]

[Indeed, economy class takes more than ten hours, but first class only takes a nap and you arrive right away, isn’t that much faster? ? ]

[You said this thing wrote the Three-Body Problem? ]

Qin Ping sat next to Cheng Cheng. At this time, he finally appeared in the picture and asked Cheng Cheng:

"Director Cheng, before we leave for Serbia, can we ask a few simple questions?"

Cheng Cheng not only agreed, but also said with great interest: "Of course, just ask."

Qin Ping: "Director Cheng, how long will your filming period in Saigo last?"

Cheng Cheng: "The filming environment in Serbia is somewhat different from that in China. I would conservatively estimate that it will take at least half a month."

Qin Ping: "Are we cooperating with Hollywood production companies this time?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head: "No, but I invited Li Pei to be the co-producer of this film."

Qin Ping continued to ask: "I wonder if Director Cheng and Director Li Pei actually know each other. How did you get in touch? Is it because you are both famous directors and you have a mutual sympathy for each other?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head: "No, it's not that complicated. We just spend the money and he does the work. I asked him to be a co-producer because I liked his connections in Hollywood. He will help me get the film released in Europe and America."

[It makes me laugh so hard, so frank! ]

[Can this be presented in a documentary? ]

The audience wants to laugh when they think about how Li Pei boasted about his unique vision on various occasions after "Resident Evil" achieved high box office, and how he looked at Cheng Cheng differently and praised him before the filming.

Now, a documentary has revealed all of Li Pei’s past.

[Cheng Cheng: I like to tell the truth]

[Hahahahahahahaha, Frog Brother is never serious]

[Director Qin lives in Bengbu. This is the funniest thing]

【My Frog Brother! 】

[Calm Madness]

[I envy Brother Frog’s mental state]

Qin Ping sat next to Cheng Cheng and asked, "Then Director Li Pei is only responsible for the release of the film?"

Cheng Cheng said: "Of course there is more. There is also the matter of winning awards. If possible, he will help me apply for several European and American awards."

Qin Ping: "Many people say that you filmed "Resident Evil" to represent Tianxia, ​​or even the entire East Asia, in the overseas expedition. Do you agree with this statement?"

Cheng Cheng said seriously: "I am quite in favor of it."

[“I am quite accepting”]

Qin Ping: Hello, Director Cheng.

Cheng Cheng: I am indeed fine.

[Frog Brother’s main goal is to never waste time]

[One dares to ask, the other dares to answer]

Qin Ping was obviously stunned. He asked again: "What are Director Cheng's expectations for "Resident Evil"? Do you think it will be successful in Europe and the United States?"

Cheng Cheng: "I am confident that I can succeed, but even if I can't, I will definitely succeed if I shoot a few more films."

Seeing this, the audience was particularly moved.

For Cheng Cheng and Qin Ping, who had just boarded a plane to Serbia in the documentary, they were facing an uncertain road ahead, an unknown challenge, and an attempt with unpredictable success or failure.

However, for those audiences who have witnessed "Resident Evil" become an instant hit since its release, how it overcame all obstacles and won the global box office championship in the same period, and then became popular all over the world and reaped the global box office.

They know what a great success Resident Evil was!
[The gears of destiny start turning from this moment! ]

[With this mentality, no wonder Frog Brother can succeed! ]

[How many directors are willing to spend nearly 1 billion RMB to gamble on the future? If they lose, their reputation will be ruined]

At this time, the plane began to taxi and accelerate, and the flight attendant came over to remind the photographer to quickly return to his seat.

Qin Ping quickly asked again: "Director Cheng, when will your movie be released?"

Cheng Cheng: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be on December 12th."

The flight attendant came to urge again.

Qin Ping asked anxiously, "Director Cheng, as far as I know, the film "Chinese" directed by Lu Zhuofeng will also be released around December 12th. Are you going there for him?"

Cheng Cheng denied: "No, it's just that the schedule in the second half of this year is the best during the holiday season at the end of the year."

【"no"】

[Isn't it? Why do I remember someone said on Weibo that he wanted to slap Dream Pictures and Universal Starlight Pictures in the face? ]

【Cheng Cheng: Don’t tear down people in difficult times】

Qin Ping: "Director Cheng, what do you think of the movie "Chinese Pictures"? I heard that Tianying Group also selected you as a candidate director for the Sino-Serbian co-production, but you refused. Are you not optimistic about this project?"

Cheng Cheng: "Your documentary should be released next year, right?"

Qin Ping nodded: "Yes."

"Okay." Cheng Cheng said, "I'm going to make a prediction here. You just asked if Resident Evil will be successful in Europe and America. I said I'm confident it will be successful, but I don't rule out the possibility of failure. But the movie Chinese Maps will definitely not be successful."

The audience was shocked.

The barrage also exploded directly.

[Wow! What a great prophet! ]

[This vision is absolutely amazing! ]

【Professional】

[After all, Frog is a top commercial film director, and he has read the script]

[The most outrageous thing about the Chinese picture is that the whole film is outrageous]

[In European and American movies, the protagonist goes abroad to fight monsters and pick up other people's girls. If you make a movie about a foreign soldier coming to save you and pick up your girl, it's strange that this kind of movie can do well at the box office]

[I think it’s a bad movie even though I haven’t seen it, so I = Cheng Cheng]

[Frog can see it, and other actors probably know it too, but no one dares to say it]

[“Chinese Pictures” is really a disastrous failure in the history of Tianxia movies]

[Is Lv Zhuofeng watching? If so, please leave a comment]

Lu Zhuofeng was indeed watching.

But he is not going to post a barrage.

At this moment, his eyes were blank and his face was full of frustration:
Did Cheng Cheng make a judgment at this time?

It seems that he really deserved to lose.
He lost in vision.

I also lost because of my courage.

After the plane took off, Qin Ping began to interview other people.

Jiang Nan: "I have to reduce my body fat from 28% to at least 20% within a month, because Chengzi wants to see muscle lines in the movie. Chengzi and I are good friends, and I have seen all his works. But the more this happens, the more I have to cherish the opportunity to work with him. I even have the desire to perform and want to conquer him."

Here, the documentary shows some footage of Jiang Nan losing weight.

She sweated profusely doing HIT, weightlifting, crunches, and running.

“Appearance is only the most basic, but appearance is very important. The visual effect presented in the movie can make the audience believe what you have put into the movie, and believe that you can perform such actions and have such power in the movie.”

"And this is not just physical, but also deep in the soul."

This delicious body

[Ginger is so beautiful~]

[My sister's abdominal muscles really make me drool~]
