Chapter 208 Love Apartment, the ratings exploded. (Subscribe)
On the audition side, it only took a week to select all the roles.

Chen Cheng picked an auspicious day, and the TV version of "The Myth" prepared for the opening ceremony.

That morning.

Chen Cheng and Wu Jingyuan had breakfast and then went to the dressing room.

The main actors in the dressing room got up at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Because the makeup of all the actors needs to be confirmed today, Chen Cheng, as the producer, also attaches great importance to it.

"Director Chen."

See Chen Cheng come in.

All the actors stood up one after another.

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Everyone should sit down, otherwise the makeup artist will have to spend several more hours."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng looked at Hu Ge and said, "Hu Ge, you are handsome again."

Hu Ge was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Cheng, my face is disfigured, how can I be handsome? Look, I have dozens of cuts at the corners of my eyes."

"Oh, is there? Why can't I see it?"

"Brother Cheng, please look more carefully. Look, look, these are all scars."

"As a man, this is nothing. I think you become more handsome after having the scar."

"Brother Cheng, please fool me."

"How could that be? Didn't Mr. Gu Long write a novel, The Twins of Heroes, in which Xiaoyuer has a scar on his face. But this scar is not only not ugly, but the more you look at it, the better it looks. If you survive a disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future. Come on."

Chen Cheng patted Hu Ge on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

Hu Ge was also moved.

he knows.

The fact that he was able to get back on his feet after such an incident showed that Chen Cheng took very good care of him.

Such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.

It was Chen Cheng who personally appointed him to be the leading actor.

This time, the "Myth" was also personally selected by Chen Cheng.

Then Chen Cheng came to Zhang Shi again.

"Director Chen."

Looking at Chen Cheng, Zhang Shi, like Hu Ge, was also extremely excited.

He had no previous relationship with Chen Cheng.

During the audition, he gritted his teeth and hoped that Chen Cheng would give him a chance.

did not expect.

Under this impulse, he actually got the role of the second male lead, which is Zhao Gao he plays now.

"Teacher Zhang Shi, I told you that you can do it."

Chen Cheng shook hands with Zhang Shi: "However, this role is very important, I look forward to your performance."

"Director Chen, don't worry. If I don't perform well, you can kick me out of the crew and I won't say anything."

Subsequently.

Chen Cheng also chatted with senior sister Chen Zihan, Ren Quan, Jinsha, Li Yixiang...

"Yes, the makeup is OK this time. Who is responsible for it?"

Xiao Wu stepped forward and said, "Director Chen, it's me."

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: "Of course, Xiao Wu, you can handle it on your own now."

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Director Chen, you have been leading me all the time. If I don't make some progress, I will be embarrassed to hang out with you."

This made everyone laugh.

Chen Cheng was relatively calm and told everyone not to feel any pressure.

Whether it is the actors in front of the scenes or the producers behind the scenes.

As long as you work hard, you will reap rewards.

Chen Cheng also said that he likes hard-working actors.

And more opportunities will be left for these actors.

Chen Cheng's words caused an uproar in the dressing room.

Especially, some third- and fourth-tier actors like Li Yixiang.

They are a bit old and not very good-looking, and they know that it is difficult for them to advance in this industry.

However, Chen Cheng's words made them have greater expectations for the future.

Maybe.

Is their future more than just this?

of course.

If someone else said this, we would just take it as a compliment.

But Chen Cheng is different.

Chen Cheng is not only a genius, but also has set countless records in the circle.

Give Chen Cheng a few more years.

The entire circle will change.

"Everyone, please take a rest in the dressing room. You can have breakfast in the dressing room this morning. We will have a media interview later, so we won't go out for the time being."

After taking a look in the dressing room, Chen Cheng and Wu Jingyuan left.

……

at this time.

A group of reporters arrived at the crew early.

I saw a group of reporters coming.

Chen Cheng first asked the staff to give everyone a red envelope.

The work was not done yet, but the package was already in hand.

The reporters were so happy that they said to Chen Cheng, "Director Chen, we used to get red envelopes after we finished the work. Now we get red envelopes before we even do the work. Aren't you afraid that we will just take a few photos and leave?"

Chen Cheng said: "You guys, that's all you can do. Let me tell you, if you report well, there will be a big red envelope later."

"Wow, is this true?"

"Of course it's true. There are going to be some important guests coming in a little while, so everyone cheer up."

There is an inseparable relationship between movies and media.

The better the movie is, the more media coverage it gets.

It's like a person working in the industry.

Just because you think you are awesome doesn’t mean you are truly awesome.

Only when others say you are awesome will more people know that you are awesome.

Chen Cheng himself is a relatively low-key person.

but.

When he promotes his films, he never wants to keep a low profile.

"Director Chen, which important guests will be here today?"

"Guess."

"We can't guess."

"Guess as much as you can. Use your imagination."

As a producer.

Chen Cheng does not need to be responsible for the filming.

So at the opening ceremony that day, before all the guests arrived, Chen Cheng was bragging to a group of media reporters.

A number of media reporters were also very interested in Chen Cheng.

When interviewing Chen Cheng, I often fail to do so.

This was a good opportunity to get a special interview with Chen Cheng while promoting "The Myth".

"Director Chen, why don't you work as a director anymore and become a producer?"

"It's not that I won't be a director. I will still be a director, but it's also good to be a producer occasionally."

"Why is it a TV series and not a movie? We all want to watch your movie?"

"I am optimistic about both TV series and movies. The reason why I made a TV series first is mainly because TV series are the easiest for the domestic public to accept. Many ordinary people rarely go to the cinema. I was thinking, in this case, why not make some TV series for everyone to enjoy."

"Director Chen, you are so kind."

"It has nothing to do with love."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I don't just make TV series for everyone to watch for free. I thought, I'll make more free TV series for everyone to watch. As everyone watches them, they will definitely come to watch my movies in the future. Right? You can't do it for free every day, it would be embarrassing if you do it for free too much. You see... if everyone wants to watch a movie later, they will definitely watch my movies first, right?"

Chen Cheng's words made all the reporters at the scene laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.

They didn't expect that Chen Cheng would have such a plan.

but.

Don't say it yet.

This idea sounds funny, but it would be terrifying if Chen Cheng actually did it.

Just as Chen Cheng said.

You watch the TV series starring Chen Cheng every day.

Whenever you want to watch a movie in the future, you have to think of Chen Cheng.

Although this seems a bit unrealistic, it is unknown when others will be able to watch the movie.

But once this kind of thing persists.

As long as there is enough time.

Once it breaks out, his influence will be extremely terrifying.

……

We are chatting over here.

9: am.

The first important guest officially appeared.

The first one to come.

It was the general manager of Hengdian Film and Television, Xu Wenlong.

"The Hengdian boss is here."

"I heard that Mr. Xu is very low-key and rarely shows up. I didn't expect him to come this time."

"Nonsense, Chen Cheng and Hengdian are strategic partners. Chen Cheng alone has directly raised Hengdian's soft power to the first-class level in the industry."

"Uh-huh."

The media kept making noises.

Chen Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with Xu Wenlong cordially.

soon.

After the first guest, Xu Wenlong, came in, the second heavyweight guest also arrived.

"Wang Zhonglei".

Hit from far away.

A group of media reporters saw Wang Zhonglei from Huayi.

"Boss Wang, I didn't expect you to come too."

Wang Zhonglei laughed loudly: "Of course I have to come. We are one of the producers of this drama. Besides, Director Chen and I hit it off right away, and I admire him very much. Of course I have to come to support Director Chen's film."

Wang Zhonglei acted like he was very familiar with Chen Cheng and hugged him.

Although Chen Cheng and Wang Zhonglei had an average relationship.

But he is the God of Wealth.

Chen Cheng also acted very familiar with Wang Zhonglei and said, "Boss Wang, I thought you weren't coming."

"How could that be? Even if I'm abroad, I have to buy a plane ticket back immediately."

"Mr. Wang, this is not my film, this is our film."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. It's our film."

After Wang Zhonglei.

Another big shot in the industry has arrived.

Wang Changtian.

Light CEO.

"Hey, the boss of Guangguang is here too."

"Hengdian, Huayi, Guangguang...the three big guys."

"Why are you so surprised? Aren't they all producers? Isn't it normal for them to come?"

Some young actors who didn't know the truth asked.

Some other actors who have been in the industry for a long time glared at him and said, "Young man, I can tell you haven't taken on many roles."

"Well, it's only been a while."

"That's right." The old actor said earnestly: "Although these big guys are producers, do you think they will participate in every movie? If it's some other movies, they will probably just send an assistant to participate."

"Oh, that."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

then.

With a loud laugh, another important guest arrived.

"It's Director Tang."

"It turned out to be Director Tang."

The reporters were so excited that they took out their cameras again.

This Director Tang is none other than one of Hong Kong’s top directors, Tang Ji Li.

He has witnessed the glory and honor of Hong Kong films.
"Director Tang, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Chen Cheng shakes hands with Tang Jili.

Chen Cheng and Tang Jili had never worked together, but they had met several times.

Although only a few sides.

But Chen Cheng had a very good impression of Tang Jili.

As for the reason.

That is, the experiences of Tang Jili and Chen Cheng were very similar.

Tang Ji Li also started from the bottom, working his way up as a script supervisor, assistant director, screenwriter, assistant director...

even.

He also worked as a martial artist and, for a period of time, was a stand-in for a series of star actors.

now.

He is already one of Hong Kong's top directors.

The films he directed, "Rumble in the Bronx" and "Police Stories series", were a global sensation.

The film version of "The Myth" was also directed by Tang Ji Li.

This is a big shot.

"Director Chen, we didn't have much communication during our previous meetings. This time, we need to have a good chat."

Tang Ji Li was also very excited and shook hands cordially with Chen Cheng.

He knows it too.

Chen Cheng's experience was the same as his back then.

Both of them started from the bottom.

Both of them deeply understand how difficult it is to work in this industry.

This experience quickly brought the two closer together.

"Director Tang, let's chat all night tonight."

"Great, that's what I meant."

"In that case, Director Tang, I would like to invite you to be the art director of our Myth. What do you think?"

"Great, there's a salary."

"Yes, yes, yes. The necessary ones are available."

The art director is of course just a figurehead.

Since Tang Ji Li came, Chen Cheng couldn't let him come in vain.

This is all mutual support.

You come to support me and I will support you too.

This kind of thing is also something that everyone in the circle likes to see.

……

but.

The heavyweight guests are more than just that.

After Li in the Tang Dynasty.

There was a commotion outside, and three big guys appeared at the same time.

"Fuck, Han Sanping from China Film Academy is here."

"Not only Han Sanping, but also Cheng Xi."

"Who's the other one?"

"Yang Changsheng from Huanyu Films, you don't even know this, Cheng Xi calls him Big Brother."

"Sister."

People simply couldn't believe it.

To know.

Each of the first three guests is a heavyweight guest.

I won’t talk about Han Sanping.

He is the head of China Film Group.

He can be said to be the most powerful person in mainland film.

What about Cheng Xi?
He is not only the Kung Fu Emperor, but also a global superstar and the pinnacle of Chinese actors.

As for Yang Changsheng, the owner of Hong Kong Universal Films.

And do you think he is just the boss of Universal Films?
And not just that.

For Yang Changsheng, Universal Films is just a small category among his many businesses.

"The king explodes at the start."

"Of course not. Now you know Director Chen's ability."

"I didn't know before, but now... I feel like I'll never be able to reach Director Chen's level in my lifetime."

"What do you mean by your whole life, plus me?"

"Add me."

The appearance of the three big guys brought the opening ceremony of "The Myth" to a climax.

A group of media reporters were also extremely excited. They took their cameras and microphones and interviewed the three bigwigs as soon as possible.

"Director Han, what do you think of the TV series "Myth"?"

"The myth TV series is adapted from the myth movie, and the myth movie is starred by Mr. Cheng Yi. I don't need to say how influential he is. So, we at China Film are very much looking forward to this TV series."

“What do you think of Chen Cheng’s first time as a producer?”

"Although Director Chen is young, his achievements are obvious to all. I believe that this myth will not disappoint everyone."

Next is Yang Changsheng.

Yang Changsheng laughed and replied, "Maybe you don't know that the distribution of Those Years in Hong Kong was done by Universal Films. But I didn't expect that Those Years would become the No. 1 box office hit in Hong Kong in the past 100 years."

This said.

There was another burst of excitement at the scene.

Everyone couldn't help but return to the moment when "Those Years" caused a sensation last year.

Yes.

Even though those movies have been taken off the screen.

But the glory of "Those Years" still exists.

and.

Such a legend.

Many people know.

It is estimated that the record of "Those Years" will be broken, but no one knows when it will happen.

"I still want to thank Mr. Yang for his support, otherwise, Those Years would not have achieved such success."

Chen Cheng also talked to Yang Changsheng.

Yang Changsheng shook his head: "No, no, no, we got the advantage. So, when I heard that Director Chen was going to shoot The Myth, I was the first to express my support. Moreover, I called Cheng Yi immediately."

Cheng Yi also took over the conversation: "Yes, when Brother Changsheng called me, I thought he was joking. After all, every year, people ask about Shinhwa, but in the end it never happens. However, when I heard that the producer was Chen Cheng, I knew that this thing was a success."

talking.

Cheng Xi also shook hands cordially with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng said: "I will definitely not humiliate your reputation, Jackie Chan."

Cheng Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. Although the TV series is adapted from the movie, I don't think it's necessary for the TV series to take the movie version too seriously. Chen Cheng, I believe in your ability, and I also believe that the TV series will be a good movie."

Subsequently.

Several main characters came out of the dressing room.

When I saw Hugo.

Cheng Xi personally took out a set of armor and said, "This is the armor that General Meng Yi once wore in the myth. Today, I give it to you. I hope that you can re-interpret a new myth."

"it is good."

Everyone at the scene was infected by this scene and cheered.

Some people even couldn't help but sing the theme song of Shinhwa.

[Unlock me, the most mysterious waiting.]

The stars are falling and the wind is blowing.

Finally holding you in my arms again.

Two hearts tremble...】

The movie version of the myth tells the story of the extraordinary love between General Meng Yi and Yu Shu that spans thousands of years.

Although the box office of this drama in mainland China and around the world were not satisfactory.

but.

The movie "The Myth" still has a huge influence.

Almost at that time, even friends who did not go to the cinema watched this movie through various means.

This is also why even if Cheng Xi’s films don’t have high box office, Cheng Xi is Cheng Xi, and no one can replace him.

……

[The TV series "Myth" starts filming today. ]

【Cheng Xi, Han Sanping, Yang Changsheng, three big guys gathered. 】

【Chen Cheng's first film production, Myth.】

Not to mention that so many media reporters were invited to the opening ceremony of Shinhwa.

Even if there is no invitation.

The lineup at the opening ceremony that day was enough to get the industry excited.

More importantly.

This is just a TV show, not a movie.

It is rare in the industry for a TV series to have such a scale.

"So strong."

"Yes. Chen Cheng is really rising to the top. I am jealous."

"It's useless to be jealous. You only saw the moment when he took a step to the sky. When he was a stage worker, a script supervisor, an assistant director, and a stunt double, did you know?"

"I don't know. I just want to be a fan of Chen Cheng now."

"Hahaha, if you can't beat them, just join them, that's great. So, when will Shinhwa be broadcasted, and which TV station will broadcast it?"

"I don't know, but I guess they'll tell you when it's aired."

have to say.

Such a big move.

Even though The Myth has not officially started filming yet, and even though everyone doesn’t know how it’s going to go.

But the myth has already caused a sensation in the industry.

A number of TV stations contacted Chen Cheng early on, vying to purchase the first broadcast rights of "The Myth".

However, Chen Cheng did not agree for the time being.

Chen Cheng wanted to wait a little longer.

Another week.

The TV series "Love Apartment" which he filmed earlier will be broadcast on Dragon TV.
