Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 190 This time, I will compete for the first place in the Treasure Island.

Chapter 190 This time, we will strive to be the number one in the island in a hundred years.

"Old Huang, are my eyes blurry? Can you help me take a look?"

"What's the matter?"

"Look, here is 6200 million or 2600 million."

"Old Han, just be happy."

Huang Jianxin rolled his eyes at Han Sanping.

Although he said that, Huang Jianxin was also extremely excited.

"I thought it was just a record of breaking a mainland box office record in Hong Kong, but I didn't expect it to break a century-old box office record in Hong Kong."

"Yes, today is a day off. It's a necessary day off."

"Didn't you give Chen Cheng a holiday? Why are you still giving him a holiday?"

"No, I want to give everyone in the crew a day off to celebrate."

“Hahaha, it’s necessary.”

Breaking a record like this is earth-shattering.

Not to mention Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.

Upon receiving the news, the superiors were extremely excited.

A leader was also sent to the crew.

not only.

CCTV Channel 1 is here too.

Moreover, the interview lasted for more than two hours.

After CCTV left, they also said that at least 2 minutes of interview video should be edited into the news broadcast today.

This is much more awesome than the "Assembly" at that time.

Although the collection number is the main theme, it only performs well in the mainland market.

But this is Chen Cheng.

Directly took over the Hong Kong market.

The Chinese people have a special bond with Hong Kong.

Hong Kong films have always been ahead of those from the mainland.

Don’t underestimate the decline of Hong Kong films.

That's just the decline of the Hong Kong film market.

Those producers, filmmakers, actors in Hong Kong...are all still active on the front line.

Many of the domestic films are still made by Hong Kong filmmakers.

but.

Today's "Those Years" has broken Hong Kong's century-old box office record.

If you really want to say it.

Its influence can be compared to Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

even.

Even Zhang Yimou envied the fact that the film broke Hong Kong's century-old box office record.

After all, Zhang Yi has never done this either.

of course.

After "Those Years" set a box office record in Hong Kong, a series of distributors from Taiwan also went to the mainland as soon as possible.

They are determined to obtain the distribution rights of "Those Years" in Taiwan at all costs.

……

"Director Chen, Those Years will be released in Taiwan soon. What do you think the box office will be?"

"Box office is a mysterious thing. How would I know?"

"Director Chen, some people say that if Those Years breaks Taiwan's box office record again, the impact will be horrific."

Chen Cheng just smiled and said, "If the record is so easy to break, then it would be a very easy movie to make."

Currently, the highest-grossing movie in Taiwan is "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Yan, which was released last year.

The second place is also Li Yan’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was released in 2000.

The box office of both films is over 2 million.

Lust, Caution is slightly higher, at nearly 2 million.

Maybe many people think so.

This 2 million is also terrifying.

Compared with the box office of mainland movies, the highest is only more than 2 million.

This is Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower", which only had a box office of 2.9 million.

It is only 1000 million more than that in Taiwan.

The treasure island is so big.

How big is the mainland?

If compared in this way, it seems that the box office in mainland China is far inferior to that in Taiwan.

but.

This has to do with the exchange rate.

In 08, one Taiwan dollar could only be exchanged for about 0.22 yuan.

In other words, 1 RMB is about 4 Taiwan dollars.

at this time.

If you convert the 2.8 million yuan box office in Taiwan into RMB, it would be only about 7000 million yuan.

The box office is slightly better than those in Hong Kong.

After all, there are more people.

Hearing Chen Cheng say this, several actors nearby said, "That's right. When people see you making a movie, they all think that movies are very simple. In fact, because of your movie, there have been hundreds of film and television companies in China in the past few years."

"Oh my god, making a movie is like gambling."

"Hahahaha, take a gamble, a bicycle turns into a motorcycle, you are a role model."

"good very good."

Chen Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Compared with those years in the Hong Kong market, Chen Cheng was not particularly concerned about those years in Taiwan.

Although there are expectations.

But this anticipation is definitely not as great as the first time.

It's like getting 100 on an exam the first time.

It doesn’t really matter whether you get 100 points the second time.

Anyway, I have already scored 100 points.

This has already proved Chen Cheng's strength.

Although there was a good chance to break the record again in Taiwan in those years, it didn’t matter whether I broke it or not.

Being broken is the icing on the cake.

If it's not broken.

It doesn’t have much impact on me.

He now has to focus more on the filming of this movie.

Last week, Han Sanping gave Chen Cheng a week's vacation.

There are still many tasks that have not been completed.

Also.

Chen Cheng also played a cameo role in this film.

As for what role the guest star played.

The person with the same name as Chen Cheng is the civil engineering boss Chen Cheng.

and.

Chen Cheng also added some comedic elements to his role.

After all, I am a director.

There's nothing wrong with adding some eye-catching shots to your own character.

the other side.

While Chen Cheng was filming, "Those Years" was soon released in Taiwan.

The reason why it is so fast.

The main reason is that "Those Years" broke Hong Kong's century-old box office record.

Strike while the iron is hot.

The distributors in Taiwan really want to see what the box office was like in Taiwan over the years?
No advertising is needed.

Just put it out there and break Hong Kong’s century-old box office record… that’s the best advertisement.

Just a movie fan.

Seeing such an advertisement, it is hard not to be moved.

As for whether you will think this movie is really that good after being moved.

Let’s talk about it another time.

at least.

In terms of attracting audiences at the beginning, "Those Years" has done enough in the Taiwan market at this time.

This also makes the first show of "Those Years", which is this Saturday.

In those years, the box office revenue reached a terrifying 5000 million.

Such data also set a record for the highest single-day box office for a Taiwan movie.

……

"5000 million, 5000 million box office."

"5000 million in one day, has this world gone crazy?"

"There are only a few people in Formosa, but they broke 5000 million on the same day... Did they really have to break the record in Formosa after breaking the record in Hong Kong?"

See such box office data.

The media were so excited.

They had never seen such an awesome movie.

"Don't doubt it. It broke 5000 million on the same day. That's just the first day. The release period is four weeks and 30 days. It will definitely break the record."

"Yes, there is no doubt that the record has been broken. Now we have to see how much box office revenue Those Years can generate in Taiwan."

The data from the first day is enough to prove the potential of "Those Years".

Even though the reputation of "Those Years" is not very good.

With the box office of over 5000 million on the same day, he was enough to stimulate countless fans. Under such a trend.

The box office of "Those Years" in the first week will be terrifying.

Needless to say.

After "Those Years" was released in Taiwan, not only did its reputation not decline, but it was even higher than that in Hong Kong.

"It was so touching that tears kept falling down while watching it."

"I like Shen Jiayi. Maybe I already have a Shen Jiayi in my heart."

"I really want to see them together, but unfortunately, reality is not a fairy tale, and the girl still married someone else."

"I like that the male protagonist kisses the groom desperately in the end. Maybe he has fantasized about kissing the girl countless times in his mind."

"The girl laughed so hard that tears came out. I don't know if she regretted it."

"There is no regret or no regret, this is our youth."

“Yes, this is our youth.”

The next day was Sunday.

The box office of "Those Years" once again exceeded 5000 million.

……

"Director Chen, did you check the box office of Those Years in Taiwan yesterday?"

"Looked."

"Oh, another 5000 million. Adding up for two days, it's 1 million. People in the industry predict that it's certain to break the Formosa record."

"It hasn't broken yet."

Chen Cheng shrugged: "Let's talk about it after it breaks."

"Director Chen, you are really patient."

Everyone said to Chen Cheng with admiration.

Someone also suggested to Chen Cheng: "Director Chen, you didn't go to Hong Kong for activities. You should go to Formosa. If you go, I believe the box office will definitely go up a level."

"Haha, do you want Director Han to give me another day off?"

Chen Cheng said with a smile.

I had a 7-day holiday not long ago.

Because the Hong Kong record was broken, the entire crew was given a day off.

Another holiday.

Don't make this movie.

"Yes, our film is more important."

Everyone nodded.

However, Chen Cheng did not go to Hong Kong or Taiwan.

People in Hong Kong and Taiwan took the initiative to run to the mainland.

The first person to come to the mainland was Chen Kexin.

Chen Cheng and Chen Kexin are quite familiar with each other and have worked together on two films.

One is The Warlords, and the other is The Siege of the City.

However, Chen Kexin is here, but Chen Cheng is the director.

You can't just visit the set casually.

Chen Kexin is also patient and always waits until Chen Cheng has dealt with everything before contacting him.

It was already 10pm.

Looking at Chen Kexin who had been waiting for him in the reception room, Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed: "Director Kexin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really too busy."

Chen Kexin smiled and said, "I understand. For such a big movie, I would do the same. How are you feeling recently, my great director Chen?"

"Haha, but Director Xin, you came all the way from Hong Kong to praise me, right?"

"You should praise me, but you should also ask for advice."

"But I'm a new director, so I don't deserve your advice. You're my senior, so I should be the one asking for your advice."

"No, Chen Cheng, I came here to ask you for advice. You know, we still have a movie, The Besieged City, that hasn't been released yet. The previous movie, The Warlords, had a good reputation, but it still lost money."

Chen Cheng knew what Chen Kexin meant.

No matter how big the director is.

He would also feel a lot of pressure if a film lost money.

Needless to say.

The investment in The Promise is so huge.

Also.

The Siege of the City in October also had a huge investment, even more than The Warlords.

The Warlords was a loss.

For a gold medal director like Chen Kexin, it might just be a little stressful.

If two films with such large investments both lose money, it will definitely be a huge blow to the company.

If it's the third part.

Ok.

Chen Kexin will not leave the opportunity until the third part.

"But as a new director, there's really no need to ask for advice. Let's communicate with each other. You helped me a lot in the crew before. If there's anything I can answer your questions, just ask."

Talk about it.

Chen Cheng was able to become the co-director of The Siege of October, and Chen Kexin played a significant role in it.

Later, Chen Kexin let go and let Chen Cheng take the lead in this film.

"Then I won't be polite."

Chen Kexin was delighted to receive Chen Cheng's reply. He said, "Chen Cheng, you know, after we finished filming "The Besieged City", we have not released it in mainland China. We are also looking for a suitable schedule. When do you think it would be best for us to release it in mainland China?"

"Spring Festival."

"Spring Festival?"

Chen Kexin was stunned: "Spring Festival?"

"Correct."

Chen Kexin said: "As far as I know, Feng Xiaogang's If You Are the One is available during the Spring Festival. If we also choose the Spring Festival schedule."

The last time, The Warlords and Assembly PK.

The pledge of allegiance is lost.

But Chen Cheng saw it clearly.

Actually, both films are very good.

It is not true that Assembly is stronger than The Letter of Atonement.

Even after the two films were released, many people still felt sorry for "The Warlords".

Obviously.

Chen Kexin, who lost to Feng Xiaogang, is still frightened.

He is one of the top three directors in China.

Even if many people don't like him, you have to pay attention to him.

"But the new director, Feng Xiaogang, isn't that scary."

"I don't think he's scary, but there's no need for everyone to compete for the Spring Festival slot."

"That's what I said."

Chen Cheng was delighted.

Chen Kexin was obviously still a little worried about Feng Xiaogang, but she still had to save face.

However, Chen Cheng did not point it out, and continued, "Although the Spring Festival period is the most competitive period, it is also the best period. But new director, let's review our previous works "The Warlords" and "Assembly". In fact, at the beginning, "The Warlords" and "Assembly" were in a close competition. But later, "Assembly" was broadcast on CCTV-1, and it became a rising star. If CCTV-1 had not been included at that time, it is uncertain who would win or lose."

"We may still lose. After all, the rally is the main theme."

"Yes, that's the key."

Chen Cheng said: "It is because Assembly is the main theme that it is slightly better than The Warlords. However, Assembly is the main theme, so isn't our film The Siege of the City the main theme?"

“Is our “October Besieged City” also the main theme?”

The term main melody is not unfamiliar.

Available in 08.

People still don’t have much understanding of the main theme.

Many people think.

The main theme is to praise the first type of works.

For example, like this film, the film about Wang Jinxi, the film about Jiao Yulu... and so on.

These are of course the main themes.

But the real main theme has a very broad scope.

Although "The Besieged City in October" seems to have nothing to do with the traditional main theme, it is actually a film about saving the country and strengthening the nation.

This kind of saving the country and strengthening the nation is the main theme wherever it is placed.

Explain it to Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin jumped up excitedly as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

"Chen Cheng, are you saying that our October Siege is also the main theme?"

"Correct."

"You mean, the mainland might also support our October Siege?"

"Haven't we always supported it? Hong Kong and the mainland are the same, so how can there be a saying that Hong Kong and the mainland are separate?"

"I understand. I really do."

Chen Kexin hugged Chen Cheng: "Chen Cheng, I knew that I made the right choice by coming to you this time."

That night.

Chen Kexin returned to Hong Kong excitedly.

Chen Cheng continued filming.
