Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 191: Being first on the three lists is not a myth.

"Chen Cheng, you should be the chief director, and stop being the assistant director."

"what?"

"Why, you still don't dare? Being number one on both lists is a major event that hasn't happened in China for a hundred years."

“It’s not this…”

"No matter what, you will be the chief director from now on."

Looking at Chen Cheng, Han Sanping said excitedly.

but.

In the end, Chen Cheng refused.

The reason for rejection.

It’s not that Chen Cheng doesn’t have the qualifications now.

With Chen Cheng now ranking first on both lists, even if there are still people who are jealous, they dare not say anything.

But this film is just too big.

Chen Cheng can only be considered a newcomer in the industry.

Now that you have good grades, no one will say anything.

Whenever your grades are bad, everyone will target you.

There are all kinds of people in the circle.

A lot of the time you see good people now.

That's because you have good grades.

When you get bad grades.

This world is completely different from the world you knew before.

So after achieving first place in Formosa all those years, Chen Cheng never accepted any interviews again.

He put more energy into the filming of this film.

unconsciously.

It took more than two months, almost three months.

The film has officially wrapped.

After Chen Cheng worked on the post-production for the crew, he returned to Beijing Film Academy.

The reason for being so anxious.

that is because.

Chen Cheng is going back to Beijing Film Academy to attend the graduation ceremony and complete his thesis.

……

"Chen Cheng, you're back too?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you get admitted to graduate school?"

"Uh... the list of guaranteed admissions hasn't been announced yet. Who knows if I'll be eliminated midway."

"Hahaha, if anyone dares to vote you off, your fans will definitely blow up the Beijing Film Academy building."

It's rare that all the classmates are back.

basically.

During these days of graduation from Beijing Film Academy, more than 9% of the classmates have returned.

Mimi, Shanshan, Xiaofei, Zhang Wei, Zhu Xiaohua, Gao Guodong, Jiao Junyan...all came back too.

Even if they don't have schedule, they will try their best to find ways to make time for it.

"Chen Cheng, are you still writing your thesis?"

"The crew was busy before, and when I remembered, I was about to graduate."

classroom.

Chen Cheng answered while writing his paper.

of course.

It's not just him.

Yang Mi, Zhang Wei...they are also working on their papers.

However, Xiao Fei stayed in school for the next few semesters and completed his thesis early.

"Are you writing a thesis on acting or directing?"

Zhang Xiaofei asked curiously.

Chen Cheng replied: "It makes me look like I have betrayed my department. So far, I am still in the Department of Acting, so naturally I am writing an acting paper."

"Haha, you haven't been an actor for a few days, how can you write?"

"Then if I look at the performance from a director's perspective, is this a better angle?"

"This too."

Although Chen Cheng has just started writing, he has shot so many films and joined so many top crews over the years.

He even took first place on both lists.

Both the vision and the perspective are much deeper than before.

It is different from the paper written in the previous life.

In this life, the title of Chen Cheng’s paper is: How should actors perform under the director’s thinking.

It didn't take Chen Cheng much time to complete his graduation thesis.

but.

Before graduation, there is a thesis defense.

As an outstanding graduate of Beijing Film Academy, the school attached great importance to Chen Cheng's defense.

Wang Song, vice president of Beijing Film Academy, personally presided over Chen Cheng's thesis defense.

"Student Chen Cheng, your paper is very well written. However, the professors and I still have a few questions that we don't quite understand. Can you explain them to us?"

Chen Cheng nodded.

"You think film is a technology, not an art. How do you explain this?"

This is the first question.

Chen Cheng replied: "I need to explain here. What I mean is that 99% of movies are technology and only 1% are art. But many times, most of the 1% of art cannot be mastered. If we talk about art, then there is no point in talking about it. The reason why art is art is that it is difficult to copy and imitate. But technology can be copied on a large scale, even like an assembly line."

"Wouldn't such a film be like a product produced on an assembly line, losing its artistic value?"

"I think if our films can really be produced like an assembly line in the future, it will prove that our Chinese films are successful. This is because it realizes the industrialization of our films. Another thing is that even if our films are not produced like an assembly line, more than 99% of the works on the market do not have much artistic value."

Chen Cheng's answer made everyone applaud.

This view is also refreshing.

"The second question is, shouldn't actors learn acting in depth? Will the director's thinking you mentioned cause more doubts for actors?"

"Director's thinking is just an actor's performance method."

Chen Cheng replied: "Actually, any method is fine. I am just providing a different way of thinking. In particular, when you encounter a bottleneck in acting, using the director's mindset to perform may produce unexpected results. Of course, in addition to the director's mindset, I also explained in detail in my paper that to have a director's mindset, actors must also have a certain amount of research in art, photography, writing, etc."

"The third question..."

The 20-minute defense was over quickly.

Chen Cheng received warm applause from teachers and students.

at the graduation ceremony.

Many classmates vied to take photos with Chen Cheng, and Chen Cheng accepted all of them.

Although everyone will still be in the same circle in the future.

But life is amazing.

It's hard to know where you will be in the future.

After graduation, some people may never see each other again in their lives.

……

"Chen Cheng, Those Years will be released in mainland China in three days. Come on, I have arranged a dozen activities for you."

"More than a dozen activities, Director Han, you are going to tire me to death."

"You were the director during those years, and you're not happy about it."

"It's not that I'm not happy about it. The main thing is that it doesn't matter whether we promote it or not. After all, it was very popular in Hong Kong and Formosa."

"Who wouldn't want to be more popular? If I could get first place on all three lists, that would be great."

Han Sanping was extremely looking forward to it.

It never occurred to him.

Chen Cheng's first drama in which he took the lead unexpectedly gave him such a big surprise.

However, Chen Cheng was relatively calm about this.

Already ranked first in two lists.

Whether the three lists are first.

It's really not that important.

But Chen Cheng was very calm, while Han Sanping was extremely excited.

On the one hand, China Film Group was the main investor in those years.

On the other hand, the China Film Corporation represented by Han Sanping is not just interested in making money, but more importantly, it is for the rise of the mainland film market.

There are already signs of this.

The arrival of those years will stimulate the market again.

This is a huge happy event.

……

"Chen Cheng, those years are coming to the theater tonight. Do you have any activities planned?"

After attending a few events a few days ago, Chen Cheng did not participate again.

When the film was released at that time, some of my classmates who stayed in Beijing Film Academy to handle some matters were extremely excited and wanted to go and watch those years.

inside.

Some students are specifically waiting to watch those years before leaving school.

After all, it only takes a few days.

"No."

Chen Cheng shook his head.

"That's great, shall we go together?"

"Okay."

Chen Cheng did not refuse.

Talk about it.

Although he filmed Those Years, he has never seen the complete version of Those Years in the cinema.

China Film Cinemas.

The largest movie city near Beijing Film Academy.

At this time, the cinema was already packed with people.

If Chen Cheng hadn't made an advance call, he would have gotten dozens of movie tickets.

It’s no wonder that as a director in those years, he couldn’t even get a ticket to enter the cinema.

"Oh my god, why are there so many people today?"

"It's necessary. Everyone is here to see those years?"

“Is this movie really that good?”

"I don't know, but those years were the best in Hong Kong and Formosa. How could it be bad to say that it was not good?"

"Well, you'll know after you see it."

Anyway.

The first place in the two charts has already proved the charm of those years.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Although the mainland market was the last region to release the film.

Although many people have leaked spoilers in the media, and even pirated copies have appeared in some places.

But this cannot stop countless fans from looking forward to those years.

Human emotions are the same.

It was able to take first place in both Hong Kong and Taiwan in those years, not to mention that it was originally a mainland drama.

The camera is full of mainland scenes.

Classrooms, teachers, street stalls at school, basketball courts, Internet cafes, watching some educational films together... I don't know how many people have recalled these moments.

till the end.

A crowd of spectators wiped their eyes and left the cinema. "2700 million."

These are the box office figures for the first day of release in those years.

This is RMB.

It is not the Hong Kong dollar, nor is it the Taiwan dollar.

"It broke the highest box office of the day. Chen Cheng is awesome."

"First place in the three lists. I really want to be first in the three lists."

See this number.

Countless people in the industry were stunned.

Even Han Sanping was so excited that he could hardly move.

To know.

The box office revenue was 2700 million, but this was without Chen Cheng promoting it too much.

If Chen Cheng had tried harder.

It is not impossible that the box office data for that day will exceed 3000 million.

……

【The box office in mainland China exceeded 2700 million in those years. 】

【Being number one on the three lists is not a myth.】

【Chen Cheng, he will set a record again. 】

This summer is destined to be occupied by those years.

Even though he was extremely popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past few years.

but now.

When it comes to the mainland, he does the same.

"Hahaha, I knew our mainland movie fans would be awesome."

"2700 million a day, converted into Taiwan dollars, that's more than 1 million in box office revenue that day."

"Don't compare yourself with Baodao. Baodao has only a few people. Our box office is definitely several times higher than theirs."

"Well, for the Shen Jiayi in my heart, if you haven't watched those years, you must watch them, and you must go to the cinema to watch them."

A group of fans continued to leave messages online.

same.

Those friends in the "Chen Cheng Bar" were also so excited that they posted countless messages on the forum.

"Boss Tyrant, Boss Tyrant, isn't our Chen Cheng too awesome?"

"You're right, it's so cool."

"So how about we organize a group event to watch those years?"

"Hey, that's a good idea. Let's do it this way. If anyone wants to go, sign up. I'll count the number of people and book a cinema."

"Super Tyrant and Mighty."

Ok.

Even booking a cinema wouldn’t be enough.

Because the number of people who signed up was so large, it reached more than 1 people.

There was really no other way, so Chao Batian contacted several movie theaters and finally made the deal.

Three days later.

The forum owner Chao Batian, along with a group of forum members, rushed into the cinema in a mighty manner.

"Look, that's Chen Cheng's die-hard fan."

"Yes, I know. It is said to be from Chen Cheng's forum, one of the three largest forums in China, with over 10 million members."

"It's truly spectacular."

"This is more than a big star or a big actor, and there is also a card field."

Although Chen Cheng rarely appears in the media or on camera.

But the myth about Chen Cheng continues.

Chao Batian, who leads a group of brothers, has also attracted special attention from the media.

They also sent reporters to interview Chao Batian.

"Hello, could you please introduce yourself?"

"Hello everyone, my name is Chao Batian, and I'm the moderator of Chen Cheng's forum."

"It is said that you hosted this event?"

"Not really. Someone in the forum suggested it, and I thought it was okay, so I asked everyone to sign up. But there were too many people who signed up, so we have only organized 1 brothers for now."

"1...really...do you have anything to say to Chen Cheng?"

"In fact, I have never met Chen Cheng. I am just a moderator of the Chen Cheng forum. But I am still very grateful to have met Chen Cheng in the forum, and I am even more grateful that Chen Cheng was able to make such a good movie. I don't know what else to say, I just want to say, Chen Cheng, you make a good movie, we will follow you until death."

A very down-to-earth speech.

The audience at the scene also applauded.

8 pm.

Chao Batian and his brothers entered the cinema.

It also did not disappoint Chao Batian.

Every shot of those years is deeply engraved in their hearts.

"It's a pity that Shen Jiayi still married someone else."

"Nothing can be done about it. Sometimes it's just not meant to be."

The last ten minutes.

Everyone knows that the plot is almost over.

Everyone touched their eyes. Although they couldn't accept it, everyone could understand it.

This may be the best interpretation of life.

But the climax also occurred at this time.

The boy and a group of classmates came to attend the girl's wedding.

Although all the classmates have pursued girls, after so many years, perhaps everyone has figured it out.

or.

On the surface, I figured it out.

Everyone happily gave the girl blessings and took photos with the bride and groom.

However, a group of classmates suddenly made a prank and said they wanted to kiss the bride.

Naturally, the groom refused.

Seeing that everyone was still making a fuss, the groom had no choice but to say, if you want to kiss the bride, then kiss me first.

A group of students left in embarrassment.

But no one thought of it.

Just when everyone thought the story ended here...

A sound and shadow suddenly came rushing over from a distance.

"Oh my God……"

"what……"

"what……"

Watching the boy biting the groom desperately.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But soon.

Everyone reacted.

The boy is not a pervert, he doesn't like the groom, and he is not gay.

This is his deepest longing for the girl.

The applause was crazy.

Chao Batian stood up.

A group of brothers in the forum stood up.

All the brothers in the cinema stood up frantically.

They screamed loudly.

"Ah ah ah..."

"Ah ah ah..."

Card……

The media reporter took this photo at the right time, which was enough to shock everyone.

……

【In those years, the whole audience was boiling. 】

【The most shocking scene in the cinema. 】

[Do you know what happened in the last 10 minutes of those years? ]

Although Chen Cheng did not participate much in the propaganda during those years.

But countless media outlets still continue to report on every aspect of those years every day.

In those years, the last 10 minutes of the movie when the male lead kissed the groom caused all the audience to stand up and scream, which was really shocking.

Under the influence of this.

After almost every screening in those later years, everyone stood up crazily for the last 10 minutes.

They followed with screams.

They followed the shout.

perhaps.

This is a trend and they want to ride on it.

More maybe.

This is also the most primitive impulse deep in their hearts.

【2 million, those years when the box office broke 2 million. 】

[It only takes two weeks to generate 2 million box office. ]

【The first place in the three lists, you can see it. 】

What else needs to be said?

Some people may have doubted the first place in the three lists before.

To know.

The mainland is not like Hong Kong and Formosa.

The markets in Hong Kong and Formosa are more mature, but also smaller, so they are number one.

The mainland market may not be number one.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Hong Kong and Taiwan often rank first at the box office, and the box office in mainland China is just like that.

The mainland market is much larger than Hong Kong and Formosa.

His audience is also more complex.

but.

When the box office revenue reached 2 million in two weeks, a series of media no longer dared to doubt it.

"Many people may not know why he was so successful in those years. In fact, I don't understand it either. However, it doesn't matter if I don't understand it. I want to reveal the success story of the talented director Chen Cheng to everyone."

"Everyone has seen those years, but many people may not know that the leading actor in those years was actually the director Chen Cheng. Although, his name was not Chen Cheng. Do you remember what the leading actor did at the end of the movie? Well, he became a stagehand and later became an assistant director. The leading actor didn't do very well, so what about the real Chen Cheng?"

"The real Chen Cheng is the same. Back then, Chen Cheng also worked as a stagehand, and then slowly became an assistant director. But assistant director was not the end of Chen Cheng's career. Later, Chen Cheng became an assistant director, a co-director, and now a director. He started with a small crew and gradually joined the top crews. He started with some small directors and gradually worked with some top directors, such as Chen Kexin, Zhang Yimou... until this, Chen Cheng's first real movie in those years."

"When you know this, you will know that in the play, Those Years is a youth campus drama. Outside the play, it is a life inspirational drama."

Third week.

The box office reached 2.7 million RMB in those years.

He surpassed Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly".

The box office gap between it and the first-place "Curse of the Golden Flower" is only 2000 million.

"First on the three lists, first on the three lists."

"He's really coming."

Everyone is looking forward to this moment.
