Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 201 Chen Cheng gets a new title: Brother Diaodiao
[The Olympic opening ceremony shocked the world. ]

【Super landscape LED scroll, a combination of technology and culture. 】

【Zhang Yi is deified!!!】

The 08 Olympic Games is destined to go down in history.

Although the opening ceremony ended yesterday, everyone’s excitement has not stopped.

The next day, a group of netizens were extremely active in refreshing the news and interacting from time to time with those friends who were still excited.

"After watching the Olympic opening ceremony last night, I felt for the first time that our country is really awesome."

"Me too, I'm shocked. I dare say it surpasses all the previous ones."

"Of course. Just look at the cheers from our international friends at the scene and you will know how successful this Olympics will be."

"I have to thank Lao Mouzi. I scolded him for a long time before, saying that he made so many bad movies after Hero. Now it seems that Lao Mouzi is still good."

"Well, Lao Mouzi is awesome."

of course.

In addition to the coverage of the Olympics and admiration for Zhang Yi.

The news of the next day soon brought another person to the public’s attention.

"You think they don't want to gather a crowd? You think they don't want to get so many people involved? That's because they are poor and have no money. If they had money, they would have made the scene even bigger."

"Why don't you go ask the East Emperor Team? They only sent one person, why did you send more than a hundred people? Do you have the nerve to do this? Is it really okay for you to bully the East Emperor Team like this? I advise you to quickly shrink the team and send one player to have a good fight with the East Emperor Team athletes."

"You said that table tennis always wins, but that can't be helped. After all, even if we replace the aunties from our Chinese team, we still win..."

This is an interview video of Chen Cheng.

Once this video was released, it instantly became a hit on the entire Internet.

“Brothers, let me show you a video, this guy is talented.

"What video?"

"You'll know when you see it."

This look.

A group of netizens went Spartan.

"Powerful, I like it, I like it, I like this buddy so much."

"Yes, I like this kind of personality."

"Finally, there's a brother who doesn't give face to foreign media. Thumbs up."

"Who the hell is this guy?"

"You do not know?"

"I don't know. Is he famous?"

"Nonsense, of course he's famous. If he wasn't famous, why would we interview him?"

"Then who is he?"

"He is the director of Those Years, and he almost made the top three list."

After all, Chen Cheng is a director, not a star or an actor.

Although Chen Cheng was indeed somewhat famous before.

To the general public, Chen Cheng's fame is not obvious.

but now.

Through the Olympics.

This interview with Chen Cheng allowed Chen Cheng to truly appear in front of the public.

"Wow, I've heard of this person before, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"As the saying goes, heroes emerge from youth. China needs young people with such character."

"It feels so good to be so confrontational. I like this kind of confrontational guy."

"Brother Duidui, this nickname is great. I will be a fan of Brother Duidui from now on."

Accidentally.

In addition to the popularity of the Olympics that day, Chen Cheng's fame quickly spread beyond the circle.

Some of Chen Cheng's friends in the circle also sent text messages to Chen Cheng, congratulating him on his popularity again.

"Brother Cheng, you are famous."

"Director Chen, congratulations, congratulations."

"Director Chen, you have a new nickname, Brother Diaodiao. Awesome."

"Director Chen, none of the Olympic athletes are as popular as you today. You are stealing the spotlight."

"Hello, Brother Duidui. Goodbye, Brother Duidui."

Looking at a series of text messages, Chen Cheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Who is that?

I just argued with them a little, how come I became the guy who argues with them?

These netizens are really good at giving nicknames.

Chen Cheng was also happy.

He didn't mind the nickname.

He knows that netizens have no ill will towards him.

On the contrary, they even prefer this style of their own.

Just be a guy who is good at talking to others. People will get used to it when I start talking to others.

even.

Chen Cheng even posted a message on his own forum with great interest: "Brothers, from today on, please call me Brother Duidui."

As soon as this post came out, a group of fans quickly followed suit.

"Hahaha, Chen Cheng, you've become famous again. You don't know that our forum was almost blown up today."

"I can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand it anymore. Those guys are running to our forum like crazy to ask who Chen Cheng is and what he used to do."

“I had no choice but to tell them that Chen Cheng is a big shot in the civil engineering department.”

"In the end, they actually checked and came over to ask... Is Chen Cheng over 100 years old? How come he looks so young? Has he cultivated immortality?"

This is of course a joke.

However, when Chen Cheng appeared, a group of netizens did not let him go and asked again: "Chen Cheng, how many gold medals do you think we can win in this Olympics?"

"How would I know?"

"Take a guess. Aren't you a famous prediction expert in the circle? Many people say that you are very accurate in predicting the box office."

"What about this?"

Chen Cheng touched his chin and replied with a smile: "Then guess. I can't guess how many gold medals, but I think that our Chinese team will definitely win the most gold medals in the world this time."

"mighty."

"So what do you think of our football?"

"We are still good friends even if we don't talk about football."

"So what sports do you like?"

"football."

"Pfft..."

Ok.

Chen Cheng does like football.

But what can I do if I like it?
I like football, but the men's football team is not very good.

Chen Cheng was thinking about it.

When will a film about the men's football team winning the World Cup be made so I can comfort myself?

But think about it and forget it.

If this kind of thing were filmed, people would be scolded to death.

It would be better to film women's football.

Correct.

It's better to watch women's football than men's football.

present.

Chen Cheng went back to his hometown and brought the two guys to BJ to watch the game.

It was the first time for both elders to come to BJ.

I only watched one game and then said I wanted to visit various attractions in BJ.

Chen Cheng took his parents to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and the Ming Tombs...

I also visited Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Basically I have watched everything that BJ can watch.

to be frank.

Chen Cheng feels that BJ's attractions are just average.

In terms of natural scenery, it is far inferior to many famous mountains and rivers.

But BJ is BJ after all.

If you don't come and take a look, you will always feel regretful.

There is a chance this time.

Chen Cheng brought his parents to see all of BJ and took many photos.

When going back.

It is obvious that both parents walk more energetically.

He also told Chen Cheng: "Son, make more contributions to the country in the future."

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

But he understood.

In the past, I made my own films and worked as an actor... in the eyes of my parents, this was actually a bit of a waste of time.

What they should be most proud of is making contributions to the country.

of course.

Chen Cheng did not refute.

He makes films, and movies...which is also a contribution to the country.

Such a contribution.

It is much bigger than what Chen Cheng did at the opening ceremony.

But that’s what the elderly think.

Chen Cheng also secretly encouraged himself.

I need to make good films in the future.

If you can take a photo that even makes your parents proud of you… that’s pretty good.

……

"Director Feng, I want to discuss something with you."

Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei came to Feng Xiaogang's office.

Feng Xiaogang glanced at Wang Zhonglei and felt a little unhappy: "Boss Wang, only half of the funds for If You Are the One 2 have arrived. Can you transfer the remaining half as soon as possible?"

"Director Feng, don't worry. You are the pillar of our Huayi. If anyone loses our funding, yours will not be lost. But you also know that the company is so big, and it needs money from all places. Moreover, your If You Are the One is shot in succession, and the investment is relatively large. The two films together require a lot of funds. If it were another company, it would not be possible to invest in the second film so quickly before the first one was released. Besides, we have already given half of the funds, so are we not going to give more later?"

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I hope it will be quick. You know, the market is changing very fast and the competition is very intense."

"understand."

Wang Zhonglei nodded, and then said, "Today I also want to talk to you about the market. Director Feng, what I mean is, can we change the schedule of If You Are the One?"

"Change it?"

"Correct."

"Which time slot will you switch to?"

"The National Day holiday."

“Why is the National Day period better than the Spring Festival period?”

“Although the National Day slot is not as good as the Spring Festival slot, it’s not bad either.”

"No... Mr. Wang, why do you want to change?"

Feng Xiaogang was unhappy: "Isn't it settled?"

"Director Feng, maybe you don't know this. I just received news that China Film Group will release four blockbusters during the Spring Festival. With your movie, that's five. You know, the domestic market is so small, and if everyone gets a share, there won't be much left."

"No change."

Feng Xiaogang shook his head: "Mr. Wang, do you have no confidence in our If You Are the One?"

"how come."

Wang Zhonglei waved his hand: "If we didn't have confidence, we wouldn't have invested in both of your films at once. But things like the release date will still affect the box office to some extent. We checked and found that the competition pressure during the National Day holiday is less, which is also beneficial for our film."

"Boss Wang, I still don't agree."

Feng Xiaogang still shook his head.

"Director Feng, please don't be so stubborn."

"Who doesn't have to be stubborn when making movies? If they weren't, they would have failed long ago."

"Ok."

There was nothing Wang Zhonglei could do about Feng Xiaogang, so he had to take out some information and said, "Well, let me tell you what movies are on the Spring Festival schedule."

"I do not want to hear."

"Where's Chen Cheng's film?"

"Chen Cheng?"

Feng Xiaogang hesitated.

Wang Zhonglei glanced at Feng Xiaogang and said, "The first one is Ip Man, starring Zhen Zaidan."

"That's nothing. The highest box office of a movie starring Donnie Yen is only tens of millions." "Painted Skin was also starred by Donnie Yen."

"This is different. Painted Skin is because of Chen Cheng."

"Chen Cheng is the producer of this film."

"All right……"

Feng Xiaogang vomited blood.

Wang Zhonglei continued, "Part 2, The Siege of the City in October."

"Didn't this movie take a long time to shoot? Are they planning to release it during the Spring Festival?"

"It is said to be."

"Are they sick?"

"do not know."

Wang Zhonglei said: "Chen Cheng is the co-director of this film. According to people in the circle, it seems that he is not only the co-director, but he actually shot this film. Chen Desen just helped there."

"The third part, Red Cliff."

Speaking of the third part, Feng Xiaogang became a little restless.

No matter who is the director and the lead actor of this film.

Red Cliff can be said to be the film with the largest investment in recent years.

An investment of 6 million.

Even though he would still lose money.

But his box office can't be bad.

Even if he is bad.

There is no way the producers could make him worse.

Just like The Promise and The Banquet filmed by Brother Chen Kai.

"What about the fourth one?"

Feng Xiaogang asked.

"The fourth one is Lost on Journey, which Chen Cheng filmed not long ago."

"Is this movie also going to be shown during the Spring Festival?"

"I don't know either. I guess Chen Cheng just wants to be in a group. After all, all four films are related to him. If any of his films become popular, he will be considered successful."

"This guy."

At this moment.

Feng Xiaogang is a little hesitant.

Wang Zhonglei knew that Feng Xiaogang was being stubborn, so he said, "Director Feng, the National Day period is also very good. There's really no need to compete with that guy for the Spring Festival period."

"alright."

finally.

Feng Xiaogang agreed to Wang Zhonglei's arrangement.

……

Next time.

Chen Cheng did not always pay attention to the Olympics.

The Olympic Games lasted too long, so Chen Cheng only paid attention to a few events he liked.

The rest of the time, Chen Cheng was thinking about his next film after Lost on Journey.

However, Chen Cheng has always been a calm person.

He is not in a hurry for his next film.

He is more concerned with investigating the market.

There are other ways to examine the market besides actual survey data.

Chen Cheng mostly watches movies.

Watching movies doesn't just mean watching movies, Chen Cheng also watches a lot of TV series.

For example, "Chinese Paladin 3" produced by Chen Cheng is currently in theaters.

This is also Hu Ge’s first play after the car accident.

Everything is fine.

Although "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is not as popular as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", it is also a very popular fantasy film.

At the same time, this drama also restored a lot of Hu Ge's confidence.

of course.

The popularity of this drama has truly given rise to a series of popular young actresses in China.

Yang Mi became famous through this drama "Chinese Paladin 3".

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan also came to prominence because of this drama.

There is also the even more popular Huo Jianhua.

He is obviously a supporting actor and almost stole the limelight from Hu Ge.

There is nothing we can do about it.

to be frank.

Hu Ge's acting skills had not yet matured when he was young.

Even in the later stages, Hu Ge's acting skills were average.

Many times, if a person’s character is not likable, then his role may not be able to compete with others.

That’s what Xian 3 is like.

After the appearance of the Shushan disciple played by Huo Jianhua, Jingtian played by Hu Ge did not have such a strong aura and was always suppressed.

Except for The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.

Chen Cheng is also interested in the other two dramas.

One is called The Way of Heaven.

One is called Lurking.

Tian Dao is played by Wang Zhiwen.

The protagonist he plays in the drama is like a master of philosophy, and his lines are so classic that they cannot be more classic.

However, such dramas have a high threshold for viewing.

At the same time, this drama was banned three months after it was aired.

It was not until ten years later, in 2018, after a series of revisions and deletions, that it reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Another "Hidden" is a national masterpiece.

This drama can be regarded as the first spy war drama.

Although Chen Cheng had watched this drama in his previous life, he still enjoyed watching it again.

"Chen Cheng, do you have time tomorrow?"

"President, what's tomorrow?"

"There's a meeting tomorrow, and I want you to come along."

"What will happen?"

"About the main theme of the movie."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng had nothing to do during the summer vacation.

Chen Cheng hasn’t decided on his next play yet.

After receiving a call from President Huang Jianxin, Chen Cheng went to the meeting.

The meeting was long though.

But at the end of the meeting that day, Chen Cheng was still quite happy.

"It seems that the higher-ups are paying more and more attention to the main theme."

Huang Jianxin said with emotion.

Chen Cheng also nodded: "We saw it when Assembly was released, not to mention that we are holding the Olympic Games this time."

The impact of the Olympics is huge.

It’s much more than just sporting events.

He had a huge impact on the thinking of the Chinese people.

Especially seeing such a grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has brought about a great change in the thinking of the Chinese people.

of course.

This meeting was more than just a meeting.

More importantly.

At this meeting, the higher-ups also gave us a huge benefit.

As long as a movie is approved as a mainstream film, the higher authorities will provide 3 points of tax support.

This is a huge plus.

Don’t underestimate 3 o’clock.

Based on the original share of about 33%, plus an additional 3 points of support.

Then the producer can get 36% of the box office revenue.

This has greatly reduced the profit pressure on many producers.

to this end.

Chen Cheng made a special phone call to Chen Kexin: "Director Kexin, I have good news."

"What good news?"

"Today, the higher-ups held a meeting and will provide some support to domestic mainstream films. Specifically, the most important one is 3 points of tax support. In addition, if the performance is good, the scheduling will also be taken care of."

"That's really great."

Just hearing the news, Chen Kexin was extremely excited.

Isn’t their The Siege of October a mainstream movie?
If it meets the conditions mentioned by Chen Cheng.

Then his pressure will be much relieved.

"Then how about our "October Siege"?"

"I'll report our list later."

"OK, Chen Cheng, I'll wait for your good news."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone.

Chen Cheng also attached great importance to the October Siege.

Although he is the co-director of this drama.

But let's be honest.

He is actually the chief director.

However, the investment in this drama was huge, and a Central City was built.

Such an investment puts enormous pressure on both the producers and Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng was very excited about this policy from above.

first timing.

Chen Cheng prepared the information about "The Siege of the City in October" and sent it to his superiors.

It was only the third day.

The superiors responded to Chen Cheng and approved the review of "The Siege of the City in October".

They also suggested that they hope the film could be released during the National Day holiday.

Chen Cheng had some communication with Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin said it was no problem.

Although it was originally scheduled for the Spring Festival, they have not promoted it yet.

The National Day period is also a very good period.

Also.

The National Day period is also consistent with their main theme, which can also further stimulate the enthusiasm of the audience.

However, in the end, Chen Kexin also discussed with Chen Cheng and hoped that Chen Cheng would be listed as the producer.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "But new director, I will be the producer in the future."

"Haha, who told you to have such a great influence?"

"Okay, it depends on whether you guys give me face or not."

Chen Cheng agreed.

If it were an ordinary film, Chen Cheng wouldn't want to be named as the producer.

But "The Siege of the City in October" is different.

One is that I shot this film myself.

But due to various relationships, it was impossible for Chen Cheng to be credited as the director.

Even if the name of co-director is attached, it is not good.

The co-director is actually also the assistant director, which is not a good reputation.

The only one who can really compete with the director is the producer.

Simultaneously.

This is also generally acceptable to the public.

Produced by Chen Cheng, it is now considered a pretty good trademark in the circle.

"The Siege of the City in October", and then put his own name as the producer.

to be frank.

Chen Cheng was also looking forward to it.
