Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 133 New mission, Olympic opening ceremony.

The plot of "Curse of the Golden Flower" is about...

Ok.

Chen Cheng didn't remember either.

Anyway, Chen Cheng didn’t remember his story in his previous life, and he doesn’t remember it in this life either.

This is the same plot as The Banquet and The Promise.

Chen Cheng forgot about it after reading it.

But it doesn’t matter if you forget.

This is Zhang Yimou.

Even if you forget what you have read, you will definitely remember these words: Zhang Yimou.

Chen Cheng and Xiao Wu chose a small cinema in Hengdian.

Although it is a small cinema.

But by this time there were already huge crowds of people.

"Wow, so many people."

Looking at so many people, Xiao Wu said in surprise.

As a result, when Xiao Wu went to buy a ticket, he failed to get one.

"Brother Cheng, there are only 0 o'clock tickets left, do you want any?"

"It's okay, buy it."

Although there were only tickets for 0 o'clock, Chen Cheng had nothing to do at the moment, so he simply sat in the cinema and waited.

Like Chen Cheng, there are many other movie fans.

"It looks more popular than the night banquet."

Looking at the crowd, Xiao Wu said.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "We can't analyze the box office based on our situation here."

This is Hengdian.

Hengdian is a film and television city.

Countless actors, practitioners... I don't know how many people are here.

Not to mention anything else.

There are tens of thousands of extras in Hengdian alone.

Not to mention, there are residents living in Hengdian.

For people in mainland China, Zhang Yi is the best in the industry, no doubt about it.

Even if we add up all the people in Hong Kong, Zhang Yi is still number one.

Without it.

Just because of the movie "Hero".

Even though it has been 4 years since "Hero", his myth still exists.

From the data point of view.

And indeed it is.

The box office record of 2002 million set by Hero in 2.4 still remains the number one.

Not to mention the overseas box office of nearly 2 million US dollars, which is even more of a myth.

"Dude, I got the tickets."

"I bought it, but it's at 10pm."

"10 o'clock is pretty good, I bought 0 o'clock."

"Haha, I just don't know how Curse of the Golden Flower is. I've seen Feng Xiaogang's crappy movie The Banquet before."

"How can Feng Xiaogang be compared with Zhang Yimou? They are not on the same level."

In the lounge of the cinema, a group of movie fans were talking about the movie from time to time.

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, just watched people coming and going.

at last.

0 pm.

Chen Cheng and Xiao Wu entered the cinema.

This time I watched Curse of the Golden Flower.

Chen Cheng is much more sensitive than in his previous life.

This feeling is not because Curse of the Golden Flower was filmed well.

No matter it is the previous life or this life.

Chen Cheng thought that both versions of Curse of the Golden Flower were not very well filmed.

The most important thing is that the story is not told well.

But it’s different from watching Curse of the Golden Flower in my previous life.

In the previous life, the Golden Armor had nothing to do with Chen Cheng.

But this version.

Chen Cheng was involved in it.

Not only did he participate, but Chen Cheng's masterpieces can be seen in many shots.

Such as the appearance of several main characters.

There is also the golden dragon robe worn by the emperor.

In addition, Chen Cheng also participated in some of the architectural designs and on-site set designs in the shots.

Although all of this is behind the scenes.

Many movie fans don’t even know who made these.

But Chen Cheng still gets very excited when a crowd of fans see those extremely shocking scenes following the camera.

in particular.

The bare-chested and breast-revealing design that Chen Cheng came up with truly astonished the spectators.

"Wow, it's so big."

"This is too big."

"Was the Tang Dynasty so open?"

“It doesn’t seem to be the Tang Dynasty.”

"Although it's not the Tang Dynasty, according to the setting, it is set in a period similar to the Tang Dynasty."

Without blinking.

To know.

This kind of impact has never been experienced by anyone.

As for the reason.

That is.

This kind of scene is not only seen in Gong Li.

The impact of this shot is also reflected in a series of other female characters, especially the palace maids.

When rows of palace maids stand in a row with their breasts bare, countless spring scenes can be seen.

This visual effect is more exciting than any other shot.

Such a grand scene is not just about breasts.

In addition to chest, he also has legs.

The legs are not just one or two, but are lined up in a row like the chest, making people dazzled.

of course.

If the Golden Armor was just chest and legs, it would be too vulgar.

How could Director Zhang's aesthetic taste be limited to just these breasts and legs?

The grand scene of "The Golden Armor" also includes the entire court of civil and military officials, and the battle between two armies of tens of thousands of people.

There are also chrysanthemums covering the entire palace.

As well as various royal palace styles that are delicate yet extremely grand.

then.

By this time.

It doesn’t matter what the story of the whole film is about.

The important thing is.

Everyone enjoyed an ultimate visual feast.

114 minutes later.

The movie ends.

A group of spectators walked out of the cinema.

"How is it? How do you feel about the golden armor?"

"Yes, it is indeed the old man, amazing."

"Compared to the night banquet."

"The Banquet is rubbish. Feng Xiaogang didn't even learn one tenth of the essence of Mr. So-and-so's blockbuster movies."

"I think so."

……

The next day.

Chen Cheng was awakened by a phone call early in the morning.

A call came in.

It was Zhang Yi.

"Morning, Director Zhang."

"Chen Cheng, did you watch Curse of the Golden Flower yesterday?"

"Looked."

Chen Cheng said: "Curse of the Golden Flower is so popular that I could only buy a ticket for 0:2 yesterday and it was already : in the morning when I finished watching it."

"Too hot?"

Zhang Yi was puzzled and asked, "Did you see the box office of Curse of the Golden Flower on the first day?"

"Oh, I haven't watched it yet, it should be good."

“Only 1500 million.”

Zhang Yi had a headache: "It's not even as high as the first night banquet."

"Oh, really?"

Chen Cheng was a little surprised. He looked at the date and said, "Director Zhang, yesterday was only Wednesday. The box office on Wednesday must not be very good."

“I know, but the media is a little bit pessimistic.”

“I don’t really pay attention to what the media says.”

Chen speaks the truth.

The media's comments are either too fake or based on their own ideas.

If it's too fake, it means you have taken the money and have to do the job for the money, so you just brag about it.

When you don't get paid, just write according to your own ideas and write whatever you want.

If the writing is poor, you can also put pressure on the producers and ask them to pay you to write soft articles for you.

But many times, for the media, their ideas do not represent the public's ideas.

"Haha, Chen Cheng, Director Han said you are very knowledgeable about box office. How about you predict our Curse of the Golden Flower and see if we will lose money or not."

"Director Zhang, look at what you said. Although Curse of the Golden Flower wasn't well made, but... uh, no, Curse of the Golden Flower was actually pretty good, and it wasn't a loss at all."

Zhang Yi had three black lines on his forehead: "If you have something to say, just say it. It's okay if you think the Golden Curse is not well filmed."

"Ahem... Director Zhang, it's a misunderstanding. No matter what, Curse of the Golden Flower will definitely not lose money. At the same time, I think Curse of the Golden Flower will set a new record."

"Set another record?"

Zhang Yi asked: "You mean the 2.4 million that broke the hero."

"Yes."

"So confident?" "I have confidence in you, Director Zhang. In fact, I think that Curse of the Golden Flower will significantly exceed 2.4 million."

"Tell me why."

"Times have changed. Another, and most important, is your golden signboard, Director Zhang."

"You are also good at flattering others."

"Just tell the truth."

"Okay, I feel much better after hearing what you said. Thank you, come to BJ when you have time."

"OK."

Chen Cheng nodded.

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi smiled.

Han Sanping asked, "How was it? What did the little guy say to you?"

"He said our Curse of the Golden Flower will not lose money and will break the previous box office record of Hero."

"Haha, little guy, are you so optimistic about the Golden Armor?"

"I guess he was just fooling me to make me happy."

"That's not necessarily true."

Han Sanping shook his head. "You don't know Chen Cheng's vision. When The Banquet was released, he directly said that the highest box office would be 1.2 million to 1.3 million. Now you see, The Banquet's box office is around 1.2 million. And For The Warlords, played by Andy Lau, he said the box office would be below 7000 million, but in the end it was only over 6000 million."

"So accurate."

"So..."

"But this guy also complained that the version of Curse of the Golden Flower I shot wasn't very good."

"Pfft..."

Han Sanping didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Did he really say that?"

"Inadvertently, anyway, he doesn't think the golden armor is good."

I thought about it.

Han Sanping said: "This is not a conflict."

Seeing that Zhang Yimou didn't understand, Han Sanping said, "A few months ago, I gave Chen Cheng two books. One was Assembly and the other was Letter of Submission. Chen Cheng chose Letter of Submission. I thought Chen Cheng was not optimistic about Assembly. Guess what Chen Cheng said?"

"How to say?"

"Chen Cheng also asked us to invest in Assembly, saying that the show would make money. But for The Warlords, Chen Cheng said that the film would lose money and did not recommend us to invest."

"That's weird."

Zhang Yi was also confused: "The one I chose said I would lose money, but the one I didn't choose said I would make money. This guy is out of his mind. If it were me, I would choose the one that makes money."

"I think so too. But whether it is true or not, we can only wait until the two films are released. I think the same is true for Curse of the Golden Flower. This guy has talent and his own ideas. He thinks Curse of the Golden Flower is not well made, that's his opinion. However, his vision is also very accurate. After all, there are many movies that have good box office results even though the media is not optimistic."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it too."

Although I am not quite sure what Chen Cheng is thinking.

However, Chen Cheng said that Zhang Yimou is still looking forward to breaking the previous box office of Hero.

……

But on the other side.

In other words, the media and some other people in the circle are not so looking forward to Curse of the Golden Flower.

“It feels like Zhang Yi is going to pounce this time.”

"The box office on that day was 1500 million, which was lower than Feng Xiaogang's first day. Feng Xiaogang's The Banquet flopped, and Curse of the Golden Flower is likely to be the same."

"I think so too. I watched Curse of the Golden Flower yesterday. The story was so bad that I still don't quite understand what the story is about."

"Let me tell you a story."

"No, I don't like it. Even if I understand the story, I still think it's bad and not interesting."

Many media outlets have complained about it.

It's not just them.

When I saw that the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" was only 1500 million on the first day.

Feng Xiaogang, who was filming "Assembly" at the time, rarely smiled.

He has been in a terrible mood recently.

This is one reason why Assembly was so difficult to shoot.

On the other hand, Curse of the Golden Flower is about to premiere.

So many times.

A number of media outlets will compare Feng Xiaogang's The Banquet with the upcoming Curse of the Golden Flower.

If it was before.

Feng Xiaogang still prefers to see such a comparison.

But the Night Banquet had already failed, and to compare it to this would obviously be like rubbing salt into the wound.

At the same time, many people had predicted it before.

No matter what, Zhang Yimou's Curse of the Golden Flower will have a higher box office than The Banquet.

but now.

The box office of 1500 million on that day, although not the weekend box office, made Feng Xiaogang in a very good mood.

According to this trend.

The box office of Curse of the Golden Flower is probably about the same as that of The Banquet.

uh-huh.

if it is like this.

Does this mean that there is not much gap between me and Zhang Yi, or that we are on the same level?
But Feng Xiaogang had a very good idea.

But he underestimated the power of the golden armor.

After Curse of the Golden Flower grossed 1500 million on Wednesday, its box office has been on a upward trend.

On Thursday, Curse of the Golden Flower grossed 1600 million.

On Friday, Curse of the Golden Flower grossed 1800 million.

On Saturday, Curse of the Golden Flower grossed 1900 million.

Over the weekend, Curse of the Golden Flower grossed 1800 million.

Next Monday, Curse of the Golden Flower will gross 1000 million.

Next Tuesday, Curse of the Golden Flower will gross 1100 million.

It was only a week.

The box office of Curse of the Golden Flower exceeded 1 million.

Such box office data also surprised many people.

"How could this be?"

Feng Xiaogang is in a bad mood again.

He doesn't understand.

The same is true for blockbusters.

It’s the same big scene.

Why is The Banquet going downhill while Curse of the Golden Flower is going uphill?

of course.

Some media outlets also don't understand.

They had been complaining about Curse of the Golden Flower, but the more they complained, the higher the box office of Curse of the Golden Flower became.

With a box office of over 100 million in just one week, he is more than a hero.

Then.

The problem is coming.

Is Curse of the Golden Flower going to surpass Hero and break the domestic box office record once again?
No one can give an answer for the time being.

Although not many people think that Curse of the Golden Flower is well filmed, it has unparalleled magic.

It tempts audiences into the cinema again and again.

Until four weeks later.

The box office of Curse of the Golden Flower has reached 2.5 million, officially breaking the record of Hero.

But this is not over yet.

The Golden Armor has not been taken off the shelves yet.

Although the box office of Curse of the Golden Flower is not as high as before.

But according to the current situation, some media predict that Curse of the Golden Flower may increase the box office by about 5000 million in the later stage.

In other words.

The final box office of Curse of the Golden Flower will reach 2.9 million.

……

"Chen Cheng, you have a really good vision."

Golden Armor celebration banquet.

This time, Chen Cheng had to participate no matter what.

Han Sanping was somewhat impressed by Chen Cheng and gave him a thumbs up: "Director Zhang was so worried that his hair turned white a while ago."

"Don't worry now."

Chen Cheng smiled.

Although the investment amount of Golden Armor is more than 3 million.

Judging from the domestic box office, Curse of the Golden Flower will still lose money.

But the domestic box office is only a part of the box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

As an international director.

Curse of the Golden Flower is ready to enter overseas markets.

Although the overseas box office of "Curse of the Golden Flower" this time is not as good as the previous "Hero".

But overall it's ok.

Plus overseas box office, various audio-visual copyrights... and so on.

The Golden Armor can still recover its cost.

At this time, Zhang Yi also came over and said, "It has to be you. I found that the biggest impact on the box office of our Golden Curse is still the costumes you designed. Especially those costumes of the palace maids with bare breasts and thighs..."

This was investigated by Zhang Yi.

The reason why so many people went to the cinema to watch Curse of the Golden Flower.

In addition to Zhang Yimou's golden signboard, most of the later news was due to various pictures circulated on the Internet.

Among these pictures, those designed by Chen Cheng are the most eye-catching.

"Director Zhang, I feel embarrassed when you say that."

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed: "Just don't say I'm pornographic or violent."

"So pornographic and violent, Chen Cheng, this is art, do you understand art?"

Han Sanping laughed.

Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing: "By the way, Chen Cheng, are you free recently?"

"I have nothing to do."

Seeing this, Zhang Yi said, "In this case, come and help me in a few days."

"Director Zhang, what's going on? Are you planning to shoot another movie?"
