Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 146 Ah, it’s okay, who got beaten, I’m fine!!!
"Brothers, I heard that Zhen Xudan was beaten?"

"I also heard that it has spread everywhere."

"Of course not. That mainland director is so arrogant that he even beat up Zhen Xiudan."

"Why do you say that? It was Zhen Xiudan who hit others first, and then this director from the mainland took action."

"That's right. Do you remember when Zhen Xudan got angry and beat up other people, who did the others go to for justice?"

"If it were you, I'd beat this guy up to stop him from bullying people."

"That's right, hitting people is wrong, but I'm against Chen Cheng."

If we talk about the beginning.

Many people still sympathize with Zhen Xiudan.

But in the entertainment industry, there are a lot of reversals.

The boomerang finally hit Zhen Xudan.

However, many people began to slowly support Chen Cheng.

Especially the mainland media.

It was learned that Chen Cheng had beaten Zhen Xiudan so badly that he had to be admitted to the hospital.

Some mainland media were extremely excited.

Although they did not dare to agree on the surface that Chen Cheng was right to attack Zhen Dan.

But from time to time they would mention the scene when Zhen Xiudan and Wu Jun were filming in Paradox a few years ago.

This caused a sensation among countless mainland movie fans.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Zhen Xiudan to be beaten."

"It's awesome. It's really awesome. Although I like watching Zhen Xiudan fight, this guy really deserves a beating."

"Yes, Zhen Xiudan is good, but hitting people at every turn is wrong. Now he's fine, he's been punished."

Mainland fans are extremely excited.

Simultaneously.

Even Chen Cheng didn't expect this.

Such a thing,
In the eyes of mainland fans, Chen Cheng is held in high esteem.

Although Chen Cheng was not very popular.

Although Chen Cheng has not yet made a movie independently.

But in the circle, the only person with such a personality is Chen Cheng.

……

"Well, it feels like Zhen Xiudan was beaten for nothing."

"I can see that. It's mainly because he bullied too many people in the past. When his old cases were dug up, no one would sympathize with him."

"Hahaha... I just don't know how they will end this time."

Many people did not expect such a reversal of public opinion.

After all, it is difficult for the outside world to understand this kind of thing clearly.

If it was a regular actor being beaten, this might make sense.

Because some actors act like big shots and bully others.

But Zhen Xiudan, such a big-name actor?

Who dares to bully?

Even the director wouldn't dare to do that.

Then.

At this time, someone will ask, was Zhen Xiudan really beaten?

not to mention.

In fact, there are unwritten rules in the circle.

This is on the set.

Not on the street.

I didn't come here specifically to beat you up.

When filming on the set, if you hit someone, you get hit.

most of the time.

Even if you are beaten, you have to endure it.

Because others can be said to be careless and did not control the strength well.

This is why.

In the past, even though there were reports of many actors being beaten by big-name stars, nothing happened.

Only in a few cases, when public opinion was so heated, was a brief apology made.

only.

In the past, Zhen Xiudan beat others.

Now, Zhen Xiudan was beaten.

In theory, this doesn't make much difference.

and so.

This incident caused a sensation at first.

However, many public opinions did not develop in a favorable direction for Zhen Xiudan, especially when Zhen Xiudan was already covered in shit.

Such public opinion gradually subsided.

……

"Chen Cheng, you were a little impulsive the past few days."

Chen Kexin found Chen Cheng.

He was not saying whether Chen Cheng was right or wrong.

The main thing is that this incident had a lot of impact on the crew.

However, Chen Cheng was relatively calm: "Director Chen, what would you do if you saw something like this?"

"This kind of thing is very common in the circle."

"I don't know if it's common, but when I see it, I have to stop it."

"Okay, now Zhen Xiudan has asked for leave, saying that he needs to recuperate for two months."

"No problem. By the way, Director Chen, tell him if you still want to play Shen Chongyang. If not, I'll find someone else."

"Chen Cheng, I know you're still angry. But we make movies to make money. Where can you find a role like Zhen Xiudan? It's impossible to find a Jet Li to make a movie for you."

"Jet Li can't be found, can I go up there myself?"

Chen Cheng said angrily.

"Uh... well."

Chen Kexin said nothing more.

He knew that Chen Cheng was still angry.

But Chen Cheng's angry words made Chen Kexin's eyes light up.

Yes.

If Zhen Xiudan didn't come back, he would really look for Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng is not only good at martial arts, but also has good looks.

Moreover, Chen Cheng is still a novice in the film industry and does not need such a high salary.

A win-win situation.

……

"Xian Dan, I really don't want to go back. This is the most top-notch crew in recent years, and you have such an important role to play."

"I haven't thought about it yet. I can't get beaten for nothing."

"You, you dare to hit the director."

"He hit me first."

"No matter what, he is the director."

"Who are you helping? I'm in pain all over right now. This guy hit me so hard."

hospital.

Zhen Xiudan was lying on the hospital bed.

of course.

Said he was beaten.

But Zhen Xiudan didn't dare to admit in the hospital that he was really beaten, he just said that he was accidentally injured while filming.

"I didn't expect the legend to be true. This guy is really capable."

A friend also lamented: "I have advised you a long time ago to hold back when filming fighting scenes. We are all actors, and it won't hurt when you hit others."

"If they are in pain, why are they here to film? Just go home."

"Well, Chen Cheng, I can give you this sentence as well."

"you……"

Zhen Xiudan was a little annoyed: "Anyway, I won't go to the crew recently. If Chen Cheng doesn't invite me, I won't go back."

"It's your loss if you don't go back."

"Whatever I lose, they lose the most."

"What if they find other actors?"

"It depends on whether they can find them. In Hong Kong, apart from me, there are only the two above me who can perform fighting scenes. How about we find the two above me?"

"I heard that producer Chen Kexin said that if you really don't come back, he will let Chen Cheng take over."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you say?"

"Don't tell me, let Chen Cheng take my place."

"Ah."

The friend nodded.

This time, Zhen Xiudan was frightened: "How can this be possible?"

"Why not?"

The friend continued, "He's quite skilled and a director, so his acting skills are definitely better than yours. Plus, he's got good looks. Maybe he'll become famous overnight and become both a director and an actor... and find another way to develop his career."

"me……"

Zhen Xudan, who was lying on the hospital bed, jumped up and said, "Let's go back to the crew."

"What? You still need to recover from your injuries."

"Why would I want to raise him? If I really stay here for a few days, who will I turn to if my role is gone?"

The situation was beyond Zhen Xiudan's expectations.

At this moment, Zhen Xiudan no longer thought about Chen Cheng coming to the hospital to apologize to him.

He had to keep his role first. It was only an hour.

Zhen Xiudan rushed back to the crew.

See Zhen Xiudan.

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: "Teacher Dan, didn't you go to the hospital?"

"It's okay, Director Chen. It's just a superficial wound. It's nothing. I'm fine."

"Don't force yourself, just take good care of your injuries."

"It's really okay, just look at me."

talking.

Zhen Xiudan threw several punches in front of Chen Cheng, and the sound of his punches made loud noises.

I don’t know where the media came from.

Seeing the situation here, he quickly walked forward.

"Xian Dan, I heard that Director Chen beat you up not long ago."

"No, no, don't talk about this kind of thing."

"But how did you get hurt?"

"When filming, you're always going to get hurt. Not to mention, my character has so many fighting scenes. Have you ever seen an actor who didn't get hurt during fighting scenes?"

"Really?"

"What else? You media, stop making up all this messy gossip. Teacher Chen Cheng and I are doing fine."

Chen Cheng also smiled: "Yes, I have always had a good relationship with Teacher Wei Dan. We usually exchange ideas when we have nothing to do... Wei Dan, don't you think so?"

Patting Xu Dan's belly, Zhen Xu Dan said, "Yes, yes, yes, now you see, we have a good relationship, you should clarify it to everyone."

"Ok."

The reporter didn't believe it though.

But I couldn't find any other content, so I had to leave.

"Teacher Xu Dan, that's great. Shall we continue filming our martial arts scenes?"

"Yes, keep shooting."

"Can you withstand it?"

"I can handle it."

"Forget it, your martial arts scene will be put off for three days. You can take a rest during these three days."

"what……"

Zhen Xiudan looked at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng smiled slightly: "What happened in the past is in the past, let's shoot the movie well in the future, I have no opinion on you."

"Thank you, Director Chen."

Zhen Xiudan nodded.

The matter was successfully concluded.

……

"Director Chen, our crew may have to temporarily stop working in the next two days."

After filming for 20 consecutive days, Chen Cheng found Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin also knew: "There is no way, Central City has not been built yet. But fortunately, Wanda signed the contract and gave us an additional 2000 million."

"That's good."

Chen Cheng was quite happy with this situation.

There are some regrets: "I should have asked Boss Wang for more money. For example, 3000 million or 4000 million."

"I want, too."

Chen Kexin laughed and said, "But you think it's so easy to get money from investors. Look at us, we had to beg for the money for filming."

"Too."

Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly: "Sister, I don't want to be a director in the future, I want to be a producer."

"Okay, then you can find a rich lady and marry into her family... then you can become the investor."

"Oh my god, Director Chen, how can you say that? Am I that kind of person?"

Chen Cheng was filled with righteous indignation: "Hey, Director Chen, where can I introduce him?"

"Pfft..."

This reversal made Chen Kexin burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, becoming an investor requires luck. Being a gigolo also requires luck. If you don't have such luck, there's no point in being a gigolo."

"It seems that I should work hard."

Finished chatting with Chen Kexin.

The crew announced a two-month vacation.

This kind of thing is very common in the crew.

Many times, filming is not completed in one go.

Some shoot for a while and then take a break.

Some shoot for one month and then rest for two months.

Some shoot for a few days, or even take a break for a year, and then shoot again.

All of these are available.

As for why.

There are too many situations.

It was a good thing that the crew of "The Besieged City" had to stop filming because the Central City was not completed.

Many other crews ran out of money during filming and had to take a holiday to raise money to continue filming.

There are even cases where people run out of money after bidding for a long time, and even after all their houses have been sold, they still have no money.

The entire crew had no choice but to announce their disbandment and stop filming.

……

"Then take a few days off."

The crew took a temporary vacation and Chen Cheng had some free time.

As soon as he got home, Chen Cheng received a call from Han Sanping.

"Chen Cheng, is your crew on holiday?"

"Yeah. Central City is estimated to take another two months to be completed, so we have no choice but to take a holiday."

"That's good too. Last time I heard that you were still short of 2000 million, I was thinking about whether I should invest another 2000 million in you."

"Director Han, you're joking. If we really ask you to come again, it will make us look like losers. But, Director Han, I'll remember this from now on."

"You are so smart, boy."

"You know how much time it took us to raise money some time ago."

"It's like that. Compared to other things, movies are not a particularly good business. The risks are too great. If they don't really have a passion for movies or have good experience, they won't invest in movies at all."

“I think movies will be a good business in the future.”

"When?"

"Well, let me think about it, it should be several years later."

"Don't think about it, we'll talk about this later. Resurrection of the Dragon is about to be released. What do you predict will be the box office?"

"Ah, it's going to be released so soon?"

“Not bad.”

“How much was the investment?”

"The outside world is promoting it as 1.5 million, but it's actually around 1 million."

"That's also a loss."

"Pfft..."

Han Sanping burst into tears: "It seems like you are the art director of this film."

"I know."

"Then you still want him to lose money."

"It's not that I want him to lose money, he will lose money, he really will lose money."

"Really?"

After hearing Chen Cheng's serious words, Han Sanping asked, "How much do you think the box office of See the Dragon Removing His Armor will be?"

"Around 7000 million."

"Can't break 100 million?"

"It's hard."

"understood."

Han Sanping hung up the phone in a bad mood.

Chen Cheng naturally knew why Han Sanping was unhappy.

China Film Group is one of the three major investors in this film, and the amount of investment is not small.

If this is a loss.

China Film Group also suffered losses.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

In the early days of the rise of domestic films, it was not easy to break the 100 million yuan box office.

Whenever a movie box office reaches 100 million yuan, people usually pop champagne to celebrate.

even.

In 2009, Ning Hao's box office revenue exceeded million yuan with "Crazy Racing".

In one leap.

Ning Hao is actually the fourth director in China to have a box office of over 4 million yuan.

In front of Ning Hao are:
Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang.

Are you shocked?

The domestic film market is so huge, why are there only a few directors whose films have grossed over 100 million yuan?

If you know this number, then you will know how difficult it was to break the 100 million yuan box office at that time.

not to mention.

This is still Liu Dehua.

I don’t know if it’s a spell.

Liu Dehua is very dedicated, hardworking, has good acting skills and is very popular.

Although sometimes the film is good if you look at it carefully.

but.

For some reason, the series of films he made did not perform well at the box office.
