Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 189: Hong Kong’s box office has never been higher in over 100 years.

The reputation it gained in Hong Kong during those years is still spreading.

If you say that when everyone first watched it, they just felt that those years touched everyone's tear points and made everyone recall the past.

Then.

In the next.

A group of fans who have watched the movie over the years finally took action.

"Aya, do you remember who I am?"

"Xiao Jun, is that you?"

"How do you know it was me?"

"Guess."

"These years, it's been fine."

"I am OK, you?"

"Me, it's almost the same. But decades have passed, and sometimes when I think about those days, I find it quite funny."

"Yeah, I often think of those school days. You sat behind me, didn't you?"

"Yes, I pull your ponytail from time to time."

"Hehe, no ponytail now."

"It's okay. I just remember it. By the way..."

"what happened?"

"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you that I like you."

"Actually, I know."

"you know?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"How can I tell you if you don't tell me?"

"Is it too late now?"

"I'm already a mother of two children. But I'm very happy to finally hear you say this after decades. Although I know it's impossible, I'm still very happy."

"I am also very happy. I finally said this and I feel relieved."

……

Reality is not a fairy tale.

It doesn't mean that he will succeed if he confesses his love decades later.

Decades later, nothing has changed.

Such confessions are mostly unsuccessful.

but.

Even if it doesn't succeed.

They could no longer hold back those words that were buried in the hearts of countless people.

They began to frantically look for the objects of their former affection.

Some have been found.

Some don’t know where to go.

But even I don’t know.

A group of netizens tried a series of methods and got the contact information of the girl from the classmates of their classmates.

They said loudly to the girls what they wanted to say when they were in high school.

of course.

There are also some regrettable ones.

Decades pass.

They wanted to find the girl from the past, but they couldn't find her.

then.

On Xiangjiang's Internet platform, you will see:
"Ah Xin, I like you, where are you?"

"Zheng Ziwen, I like you, can you see it?"

"Honghong, if I had told you that I liked you, would we have been together?"

"Wang Xue, I'm Xie Minghui, do you remember me? My phone number..."

"Zhang Ping, I've always remembered you. Do you remember me? If we are destined to meet, I think we will meet again."

"..."

do not know when.

This message board has become a place for thousands of Hong Kong netizens to express their love.

even.

No one expected it.

It doesn't look real in this way, it's just a virtual online platform where people place their wishes.

Among the vast sea of ​​people.

There are actually a few couples who got in touch with each other.

Although I don’t know how many years have passed since then.

But the friendship between the two of them back then has not faded.

Not only did it not disperse.

instead.

As time went by, the two people missed each other more and more.

Someone posted a photo of them together.

Some people even posted their marriage certificates.

someone.

They may not want to do this.

Then.

They put their endless longing into the film "Those Years".

1000 million.

"Those Years" topped the charts in Hong Kong.

Simultaneously.

The box office of 1000 million also created the highest box office record for mainland China in Hong Kong.

And that’s only 3 days.

In other words.

Those years…still had so much potential.

……

"Director Chen, you made over 1000 million in Hong Kong in those years."

"Director Chen, you are truly amazing. The box office revenue exceeded 1000 million in those years, and it topped the box office in Hong Kong and mainland China."

"Director Chen..."

at this time.

Even friends who did not pay much attention to the Hong Kong box office before will now focus their attention on the Hong Kong market.

Xiangjiang market is small.

A box office of 1000 million is nothing.

But he determines the direction of the entertainment industry to a large extent.

And it started on this day.

Almost every day before filming, the first words of the actors and actresses are: "Director Chen, yesterday's box office broke the record again."

"Uh, how much is it now?"

"You didn't see it?"

"No."

"You are very patient."

"I just couldn't hold my temper, so I didn't watch it."

Chen Cheng is not a saint.

How could he not care?

This film can be said to be my first independent directorial work.

Who doesn't want him to have a good box office?

Who doesn't want him to have a certain influence?

But Chen Cheng still endured it.

He was afraid that the daily attention would affect his filming.

"Then let me tell you."

"Don't tell me. Wait until it's off the shelves, then tell me."

seriously.

Chen Cheng is now both looking forward to it and a little afraid to watch it.

Some of them are like the college entrance examination back then.

I am looking forward to seeing my college entrance examination results.

But when the time really came, I felt extremely nervous.

He was afraid of not doing well in the exam.

And I'm afraid of performing poorly.

In short.

There is a range of emotions.

"Okay, Director Chen, let us help you keep an eye on it quietly."

Everyone is in the circle.

I also understand how Chen Cheng feels.

Not to mention him as a director.

Even if it's an actor.

When a movie starring myself comes out, I am still extremely excited.

only.

They can't control their emotions, and they just want to refresh themselves after a while.

"2000 million."

"No, 2300 million."

"No, 2400 million."

A result like 2400 million also seems small.

but.

If it was in previous years.

Maybe this will be the box office champion in Hong Kong.

Even if it was put in 08, it would still be ranked in the top 3.

As for the ones before “Those Years”.

The second place is Painted Skin, with a box office of 2500 million in Hong Kong.

It's worth mentioning.

The producer of Painted Skin is also Chen Cheng.

The first place is Stephen Chow’s CJ7.

The drama has not yet been released in mainland China, but it was released in Hong Kong in advance and the box office reached 5100 million.

But soon.

Two weeks later.

The box office in those years has exceeded 5200 million.

……

"Chen Cheng, starting tomorrow, I'll give you a week off."

Crew.

Han Sanping suddenly said to Chen Cheng.

"Ah, a holiday?"

"Correct."

"What kind of holiday?"

"Don't you want a holiday?"

"I do want to, but... the filming is not finished yet."

"I know, but you can rest for a few days first."

"why?"

"Haha, don't you know what the box office was in those years?"

"How many?"

"I really don't know."

Chen Cheng nodded: "Actually I really want to watch it, but every time I want to watch it, I close the webpage."

"Okay, then I'll tell you. The box office has now reached 5200 million, breaking the record set by Stephen Chow's "CJ" this year and becoming the champion."

Han Sanping’s words stunned Chen Cheng.

Although I had been looking forward to it for a long time.

But when the real data came out, Chen Cheng still trembled all over.

Such data is absolutely unprecedented for the mainland.

As for whether there will be anyone coming later.

Chen Cheng didn't know.

But from the perspective of future generations of Chen Cheng, this record will not be broken by anyone in the mainland at least until 2024.

"Also, let me tell you that those years...there was still a week of screening time."

Look at Chen Cheng.

Han Sanping was even more excited than Chen Cheng at this moment.

On the one hand, it is exciting.

During those years, they also invested in China Film Group.

But this is not what excites Han Sanping the most.

Although China Film Corporation has invested, the box office in Hong Kong is just that.

They don't get much money.

Even though he could get a large sum of money, Han Sanping was not excited about the money.

Han Sanping was excited that such a box office record could be said to be a symbol of an era.

This also further proves that mainland films have risen.

This rise is not only the rise of the mainland film market, but also proves the rise of the quality of mainland films.

Han Sanping has already thought it through.

At the performance review meeting at the end of this year, he had to praise "Those Years" a lot.

Praising "Those Years" is not really praising.

This is Han Sanping's pride.

Praising "Those Years" is equivalent to praising himself.

"So, now that you know the box office of Those Years, are you still interested in making a movie?"

Han Sanping patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Come on, there is still a week left. I want to see the ultimate potential of those years."

……

"Brother Cheng, would you like to go to Hong Kong next week?"

Zhang Wei said to Chen Cheng excitedly.

These days, he was extremely excited.

for him.

"Those Years" grossed over 5000 million in Hong Kong, and the first beneficiary was the leading actor played by him.

Although the fans are not from the mainland.

But it's okay.

Mainland China and Hong Kong are all one family.

In today's world where the Internet is so developed.

The commotion in Hong Kong had already spread back to the mainland.

"no need."

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Now Those Years is very popular in Hong Kong. It won't make much difference if I go there again. It's better for you to go."

Chen Cheng smiled.

Does anyone know the director?

For fans, the male lead is their favorite.

No.

The leading actor may not be the favorite of the fans.

My favorite is Wu Qingqing who plays Shen Jiayi.

However, Wu Qingqing and Chen Cheng were stubborn and she refused to leave Beijing Film Academy.

Even if many people say that you are famous in Hong Kong.

But Wu Qingqing just didn't care.

Chen Cheng did send a message to Wu Qingqing.

learned.

Wu Qingqing is typing.

What is the code?

have to.

It was the BL experience that Chen Cheng had taught her before.

It is said.

Wu Qingqing currently wrote a BL novel on an online platform and became a minor celebrity.

Her editor told her.

Nowadays girls have to compete more than boys, so ask her to update 1 words every day.

Chen Cheng was also shocked after hearing this.

I secretly sighed that the editor was really good at brainwashing.

But it’s okay.

If you don’t go, don’t go.

"Those Years" became a huge hit in Hong Kong.

As to how far it can go.

Can it truly set a box office record in Hong Kong?

It all depends on fate.

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, the last week of the release cycle of Those Years has arrived.

Compared to the previous three weeks.

In the fourth week, the box office of "Those Years" has gradually declined.

But on the first day of the fourth week, "Those Years" still received a box office of 200 million.

The total box office in Hong Kong in those years has now reached 5400 million.

"On the first day of the last week, there was still a box office of 200 million."

"There are only 6 days left. Doesn't that mean that those years will break the Hong Kong movie box office record that Stephen Chow has held since 04?"

"I don't know, maybe not."

It's not just Chen Cheng at this moment.

Countless people are keeping an eye on the Hong Kong box office.

inside.

There are local ones in Hong Kong.

There are also those from the mainland.

Including those in Formosa.

Even other parts of Southeast Asia.

Although Hong Kong is small, the influence of Hong Kong films at that time reached the whole of Asia and even had a certain influence in the world.

Even though it is in decline now, it still represents a certain direction.

"5600."

Day 2 of Week 4.

"5800."

Day 3 of the fourth week.

"6000."

Day 4 of Week 4.

"How much Kung Fu does Xing Ye know?"

"6120."

"I……"

Everyone gasped.

they know.

Break the record, if not today, then tomorrow.

“I think we should do something.”

Some discerning agents in Hong Kong said.

The first to react was naturally Emperor Entertainment Group, which was on good terms with Chen Cheng.

They sent out Xie Tingfeng.

Xie Tingfeng has nothing to do with "Those Years".

but.

However, Xie Tingfeng had contact with the director of "Those Years".

In an interview with the media, Xie Tingfeng said: "I have actually known Director Chen for a long time. Director Chen was the co-director of the film "October Besieged City". During the two months of filming, Director Chen taught me many acting techniques and even taught me kung fu."

Next is Cai Zhuoyan from the Twins: "I met Director Chen once. Director Chen came to visit the set of the movie Blue Lantern. I even shook hands with him."

There is also Ren Dahua: "Like Tingfeng, I met Director Chen through October Besieged City. I thought that if I wanted to break the record, it might be this October Besieged City. But I didn't expect that Those Years... would come out of nowhere."

The person who spoke in the most detail on the media side was Liu Dehua: "Hello everyone, I'm Huazai. I just finished watching Those Years and it brought tears to my eyes. I remember releasing a song called Seventeen Years Old back then. Although they are different, I wanted to act in movies and sing at that time, while Those Years is about youth and campus life. But no matter what, this is a beautiful memory for us."

"I met Director Chen during the Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon. Haha, the box office of this movie was not high. At that time, I was not very familiar with Director Chen. After The Warlords, I really admired Director Chen. On the set, Director Chen not only handled a lot of daily shooting, but what impressed me most was that I was filming with Lianjie at that time. As everyone knows, Lianjie has a strong aura. I played the role of Zhao Erhu, the second brother, and his aura was not as strong as that of the eldest brother Pang Qingyun. But Director Chen talked to me about the play for the whole night. As you can see in the later scenes, the scene where Zhao Erhu, played by me, was chained was performed after I understood it."

It’s not just Emperor Entertainment either.

There are also a series of other Hong Kong agencies and actors.

Such as Zhen Zaidan.

When talking to the media, he said: "What Director Chen? I am very familiar with Brother Cheng."

"Hey, it's not a rumor, have you ever had a fight with Director Chen?"

"Study, do you know what study is? I'm shooting a martial arts scene, so it's normal to study with the director."

"is it?"

"Isn't it? I'll tell you a secret. I'm the lead actor in another movie produced by Cheng Ge, Ip Man. You can choose not to believe me, but you must believe Cheng Ge."

This method of riding on the popularity of others can also help promote themselves, and many actors are very good at it.

……

"Junior brother, you are in a good situation now. President Han has given you a holiday."

Crew.

Brother Chen Kai brought Zhang Guoli and several other heavyweight actors to Chen Cheng’s office.

Chen Cheng sat in front of the computer and refreshed the box office data.

Then pour water for the two bosses.

"Teacher Guoli, Senior Brother...you guys have no chance today."

"No chance."

Brother Chen Kai smiled and said, "I just came to see you."

"What's so good about me? Look, I don't want to do anything now. I just sit in front of the computer."

"Hahahaha... I'll brush it too."

Brother Chen Kai was very excited.

He took the mouse and said, "Look, it's 6050 million."

"There's still another half a million."

The two were also extremely excited.

they know.

The moment to witness history is coming.

"I'll refresh it too."

Zhang Guoli also refreshed the page: "6058 million. Why is the increase so small?"

Zhang Guoli slapped his thigh.

It seems like he was the one who filmed this drama.

of course.

Chen Cheng also understood their feelings.

Those years had nothing to do with them though.

But this time.

In those years, this drama has already represented the image of mainland films.

Once the records were broken in those years, it was a huge signpost.

As long as you are a Chinese, you will be extremely excited.

Not to mention, they are practitioners in the circle.

“That’s pretty good.”

Brother Chen Kai said, "Chen Cheng, you quit, I'll do the brushing."

Brother Chen Kai pushed Chen Cheng aside and brushed it again.

This time it is 6065 million.

Just when I was about to continue brushing.

Chen Cheng's phone suddenly rang.

A call came in.

It turned out to be Zhang Yi.

"Director Zhang."

Chen Cheng greeted Zhang Yi.

"Chen Cheng, how much were the box office revenues in those years?"

"Brother Kai just checked it and it's 6065 million."

"Oh, it's almost there. We only need a few hundred thousand to break the record. Ask Brother Kai to push it again."

Chen Cheng was stunned: "Director Zhang, can't you check it on the computer?"

"I want to check, but I don't have the conditions. Let me tell you, this phone number is also from the Olympic Committee. My personal phone number has been collected."

"So strict."

"Of course not. I should have asked you to accompany me."

"No, no, no, Director Zhang, this is like going to jail. I can't stay here."

"Hahaha, yes, it's like being in prison. Put on speakerphone..."

Chen Cheng clicked on the hands-free mode.

Zhang Yi said: "Brother Kai, has it been refreshed?"

"Swipe it, swipe it."

"How much?"

"6080."

Brother Chen Kai reported the figures: "Hey old man, you are so concerned about the box office when you are organizing the opening ceremony of the Olympics? It's not you who filmed it, so why are you refreshing it?"

Zhang Yi was not annoyed: "Brother Kai, it seems like you took the photo."

"That's different. Chen Cheng is my junior fellow apprentice."

"Am I not from Beijing Film Academy?"

"Uh……"

Brother Chen Kai was a little conflicted.

I almost forgot that Zhang Yi is also from Beijing Film Academy.

……

Also paying attention to the box office are a series of Hong Kong fans.

These friends who liked those years are just like Chen Cheng.

Almost whenever they have free time, they set new box office records.

But after all, there are still hundreds of thousands of points to break the record, so we have to wait a while.

But this time.

There are already fans who can’t wait.

But he yelled loudly: "Damn it, I can't wait any longer, boss, I want to book the whole place."

"what?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I want to book the entire theater. I'll book all the shows at your theater today."

……

"Refresh quickly, I only have a few minutes of talk time."

Zhang Yi continued to complain on the phone.

Chen Kai laughed: "A few minutes, then hang up. I guess it will take another hour to break the record."

"No, brush it for me again."

"Ok."

There was nothing he could do about Zhang Yi, so Brother Chen Kai refreshed the page again.

Dramatically.

There were still hundreds of thousands of points left to break the record.

But now.

Brother Chen Kai refreshed this.

The box office figures in those years suddenly soared to 6130 million.

Good news is coming out all over the place.

Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" generated a box office of 2004 million in 6127.

In those years, the box office was 6130 million.

This also means.

Those Years… broke the box office record held by Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu” in 04 and became the No. 1 box office hit in Hong Kong.
or.

Let’s put it another way.

During those years, the box office record that had been broken for more than 100 years since the birth of Hong Kong films was broken.
