Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 215 Your movie “Lost on Journey” might be a big hit!!!

of course.

It wasn't just Wang Zhonglei who called Chen Cheng.

New Year's Eve.

Although all the directors are well-known directors, their mentality is also good.

But faced with such a large production, no director can treat it with a normal attitude.

Many times, they are just like ordinary directors or even ordinary people.

I will get tangled when I need to.

I still can't let go when I should.

After Wang Zhonglei.

The person in charge of Xiaoma Pentium, one of the producers, also called Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, I wish you a happy new year."

"Mr. Li, Happy New Year."

"Director Chen, you've returned to your hometown, right?"

"I've been back home for a while."

"Thank you for your hard work. After the Chinese New Year, our Three Kingdoms will be launched. Director Chen, how are your preparations going?"

"Fortunately, the chief director is being determined."

"Director Chen, which director do you think is suitable?"

"It has not been fully determined yet, but it is still under consideration."

"What do you think of Gao Xixi?"

"good."

"Director Chen, we are all family, there is no need to say two things, just reveal a little."

"I think it's OK, but we have to wait until after the Chinese New Year to be sure."

"Director Chen..."

finally.

The person in charge of the production of Xiaoma Pentium hung up the phone.

Regarding Mr. Li.

Chen Cheng doesn't care.

Although he is the producer, he will not interfere too much in the producer's affairs.

He is not the producer and does not represent the interests of the producer.

Chen Cheng is the producer.

In principle, yes.

Chen Cheng is the head of the New Three Kingdoms.

Even if you are a producer, your words may not necessarily be effective.

As for the producer withdrawing investment or something.

This capital is not so easy to withdraw.

As a strong producer, Chen Cheng asked the producer to invest 7% of the capital before filming began.

Otherwise, Chen Cheng would not be the producer.

As to why this is required.

I just don’t want to be restricted by the producer.

If the producer always uses money to threaten the producer, then what kind of producer is Chen Cheng?

Since Chen Cheng is chosen to be the producer, then we should listen to him.

If you don't listen.

Then don’t let Chen Cheng be the producer.

but.

It wasn’t just the producers who called Chen Cheng.

such as.

Han Sanping called Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, Happy New Year."

"Director Han, Happy New Year."

"Has the chief director of the new Three Kingdoms been confirmed?"

"Not yet."

“When can we know for sure?”

"Let's celebrate the New Year."

"Why, what are you still thinking about?"

"Actually, I've thought about it a lot, but I want to take another look."

"It's better to confirm it as soon as possible, so that no one will have a bad New Year."

Han Sanping and Chen Cheng have a special relationship.

Chen Cheng thought about what Han Sanping said and said, "That's true."

New Year's Eve.

If this is uncertain, those directors probably won’t be able to sleep.

I thought about it.

Chen Cheng asked, "Director Han, who are you calling?"

"Zhang is here."

"What a coincidence, let's go."

"I'll go, are you sure?"

"determine."

"You kid, that's great. I'll call Zhang Lai later, he'll be so happy."

"Well, tell him first."

The reason why I chose Zhang Lai.

The level itself is enough.

on the other hand.

Zhang Lai's ideas are somewhat similar to Chen Cheng's.

Chen Cheng didn't want to shoot the new Three Kingdoms in the same way as the old version.

He also didn't want to shoot the New Three Kingdoms based on his previous life.

How to shoot.

Chen Cheng believes that this will be a combination of the old version and the previous new version of the Three Kingdoms.

He will absorb the advantages of his boss's Three Kingdoms, and also absorb the advantages of the new version of the country in the previous life.

As for other directors.

Although other directors also have their own set of ideas.

But these ideas are either too radical or they do not take the market into consideration too much.

The new Three Kingdoms directed by Chen Cheng is for the general public.

Therefore, the lines must not be too literary.

But the New Three Kingdoms is the Three Kingdoms after all.

He is no ordinary TV star.

He is one of the four great classics in people's minds.

It also plays an important role among countless ordinary people.

Therefore, the entire plot and dialogue cannot be too plain, they must also have a certain elegance.

For example, this kind of elegance.

Chen Cheng plans to spend more time on some classic scenes in the New Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Three Heroes of Peach Garden...

He wouldn’t learn the New Romance of the Three Kingdoms and just end it with a few shots.

There are also stories like the Seven Capture of Meng Huo, which are not mentioned much in the new version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

This is also something Chen Cheng does not want to see.

In addition, there are some characters not mentioned in the New Three Kingdoms, such as Jia Xu, Taishi Ci... they are all very classic characters.

There is not much mention of this in the script of the new version of Three Kingdoms, so it is not appropriate.

Combining elegance and vulgarity, this is Chen Cheng's view on the New Three Kingdoms.

Elegance is to give the New Three Kingdoms a certain height.

Vulgarity makes the New Three Kingdoms more down-to-earth and more appealing to the audience.

Taken together.

Zhang Lai is more in line with Chen Cheng's ideas.

finally.

Chen Cheng also decided to send Zhang Lai.

"Xiao Mei, please reply to the messages from the other directors."

Now that Zhang Lai has been confirmed, several other directors also have to reply.

However, after replying to the letter, Chen Cheng let Xiaomei go.

He can reply.

But to avoid embarrassment for everyone.

……

Chinese New Year 29.

The truckload of New Year’s goods sent by Wang Zhonglei has arrived.

My mother was extremely surprised and asked Chen Cheng which friend he was from and why he sent so many New Year's goods.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, he is an old friend and they have a close relationship.

As for whether it is iron or not.

Only Chen Cheng and Wang Zhonglei knew about this.

As for whether you will become soft-hearted after eating Wang Zhonglei's food.

Chen Cheng did not have too much psychological burden.

He is still the same as before.

The collaboration should be collaborative.

This should be refused.

Chinese New Year 30.

Chen Cheng accompanied his father back to his hometown ancestral temple to worship his ancestors.

Although moved to a new house.

But according to the rules of Chen Cheng’s hometown, no matter where he goes, his hometown is still his hometown and cannot be abandoned.

So during the Chinese New Year, Chen Cheng still had to return to his hometown’s ancestral temple to pay homage.

and.

In Chen Cheng’s hometown, there is a custom of grabbing the New Year’s gift on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The New Year's Eve competition is about seeing who can be the first to light firecrackers at 0 o'clock on the first day of the New Year.

Whoever grabs the first one usually indicates good career, wealth and health in the new year.

Chen Cheng didn’t know whether it was really that magical.

However, Chen Cheng still goes to grab it every year.

But a pity.

Many times you can’t get it.

This year, Chen Cheng summarized his experience. He felt that the reason he failed to grab the lottery before was due to insufficient preparation.

So Chen Cheng prepared incense, bamboo, firecrackers... and various sacrificial items as early as 23:30 in the evening.

And I waited until midnight at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

I don't know if it was intentional or what.

Arrive at 0 o'clock.

Chen Cheng finally got the first place.

This made Chen Cheng feel happy and it was a very good omen.

……

New Year's Day.

Early in the morning.

Chen Cheng told his parents that he would go to the movies after lunch.

My mother was the first one not to go, saying, "What's so good about the movie? I won't watch it."

Chen Cheng was a little choked up and said, "Mom, there is a movie I shot."

My mother became interested and asked, "Is this the movie you made? What role do you play?"

"Uh, no role."

"You said you took the film even though you didn't have a role."

"Mom, I'm the director."

"Which role does the director play?"

"The director is acting... me..."

I was almost led astray by my mother: "Mom, the tickets are already bought. It would be a waste of money if I don't watch it."

The old man said, "You are uneducated. Your son is a famous director. Do you understand?"

"So what do great directors do?"

"that is……"

After all this nonsense, dad still couldn't make any sense.

My mother smiled and said, "You're still talking about me. You know nothing."

Of course that's what it said.

At noon, Dad and Mom followed Chen Cheng to the cinema.

Yes.

New Year's Day.

Chen Cheng's previous three films were officially released.

One is "Ip Man" produced by Chen Cheng.

Another film is "Red Cliff", also produced by Chen Cheng.

Another one is "Lost on Journey" directed by Chen Cheng.

Originally, Chen Cheng in Lost on Journey needed to be promoted.

Later, Chen Cheng looked around and decided that it was New Year's Day, so he decided not to make things difficult for the actors and let everyone go home to celebrate the New Year.

It’s just that Chen Cheng’s side didn’t publicize it.

The three films related to Chen Cheng are all very popular.

"Happy New Year, guys. Have you thought about going to the movies today?"

"You have to go. It's New Year's Day. You have to go to the movies. What else can you do?"

"Yes, we have rules on New Year's Day. We can't visit relatives. Watching a movie is the best way to relax."

New Year's Day.

It can be said to be the best time of the year.

This period has brought together a series of films.

In addition to the three films produced by Chen Cheng, there are also several other films.

But unfortunately.

Several other films were somewhat ignored because of the word "Chen Cheng" in their titles.

The audience was only focused on the three films related to Chen Cheng.

That is, Ip Man, Red Cliff, and Lost on Journey.

"Ip Man, Red Cliff, Lost on Journey, brothers, which one do you want to watch?"

"I think Red Cliff has a big production, big scenes, and a top cast, including Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu, Lin Zhiling, Hu Chen, and Zhang Fengyi."

"I think Ip Man is also good, Zhen Zaidan, Simon Yam, Fan Shaohuang, and the king's wife Xiong Dailin."

"Damn, no one said Lost on Journey?"

"Of course no one said that."

"why?"

"This was directed by Chen Cheng. Do you want to see it?"

Ok.

It’s not that Chen Cheng doesn’t want to advertise.

Sometimes Chen Cheng doesn’t need to advertise, but this year’s Spring Festival period was full of Chen Cheng’s advertisements.

In order to attract audiences, Red Cliff was produced by Chen Cheng.

In order to attract audiences, Ip Man's fight scenes were also supervised by Chen Cheng.

Where is Lost on Journey? The one being beaten is… I am Chen Cheng.

As the person who directed Lost on Journey himself, it is hard for him not to attract people at this time.

……

"so many people."

At this moment, the only movie theater in my hometown is already full.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng bought the ticket in advance.

I don’t know what my mother likes.

Chen Cheng bought Lost on Journey, Red Cliff, Ip Man... and some other movies.

"Mom, which one do you want to watch?"

Although Chen Cheng wanted to take his mother to watch Lost on Journey.

But Chen Cheng’s first thought was to let his mother choose first.

Even if you filmed Lost on Journey yourself, there's no need to force your mom to watch it if she doesn't like it.

But my mother kept thinking about Chen Cheng's film and said, "Son, didn't you say there was a film you shot? Which one?"

"Uh……"

Chen Cheng pointed and said, "This, this, this... Strictly speaking, I shot all of these."

"Son, are you so awesome?"

"You just know now."

"Pfft..."

The mother was happy: "Then let's watch this one."

Pointing at Lost on Journey, my mother said.

Chen Cheng was stunned and asked, "Mom, why did you choose this one?"

"It feels like this film was shot at a train station. Look at these pedestrians carrying bags. As soon as I saw it, I thought of the time when your father and I went to work in the south. You don't know that your father and I waited for a whole night at the train station before we got a green train that was working overtime."

This said.

Dad also sighed: "Yes, the trains to our small county town were very slow at that time. Not only were they slow, but there were no seats. Not only were there no seats, but the carriages were crowded with people. Your mother and I stood there for more than ten hours, and we were sweating all over. Later, when I went home for the New Year and went to work in the south, it was also crowded with people. I stood for more than ten hours before I got home."

My mother took over the conversation and said, "Your father said at the time that he would not come back. He said that it would cost one or two thousand yuan to come back, which was not worth it. Your father didn't make much money."

As the two were talking, Chen Cheng also sighed.

Think back to the hours.

Chen Cheng remembered that although his parents went to work in other places, no matter how difficult the conditions were outside, they would still rush home every Chinese New Year.

As for the reason.

It's just to see yourself.

Chen Cheng remembered one time.

At that time, my parents couldn't buy train tickets, so they had to ride a motorcycle over hundreds of kilometers before they could get home.

The weather was very cold during the New Year in Chen Cheng's hometown.

Not only cold.

It also rained that year.

To go home.

The parents put on all the clothes they could wear.

As for the feet, they were tied with nylon bags to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.

When his parents returned home, Chen Cheng clearly remembered that their hands and feet were almost paralyzed.

It was not until I soaked in warm water for a long time that I recovered.

"Well, Mom and Dad, this movie is about going home for the New Year."

Chen Cheng wiped his eyes.

Going home for the New Year is not a big deal, but it is a microcosm of an era.

Think about it this way.

Chen Cheng became more and more excited about Lost on Journey.

He suddenly realized that, by chance, he seemed to have come across a good opportunity.

……

"Happy New Year, Chen Cheng."

There are still more than ten minutes until the 2 o'clock show "Lost on Journey".

Chen Cheng received a call.

When I looked at the phone, it was Lao Wang... No, it was Wang Jianlin.

"Mr. Wang, Happy New Year."

Chen Cheng was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Wang Jianlin would call me on the first day of the new year.

"Hehe, where is Chen Cheng?"

"At my hometown."

"Look at you. You have three movies coming out, but you don't even promote them. What are you doing back home?"

"Don't we have Mr. Wang? Wanda Cinemas needs to schedule more movies for us."

"Hey, Director Chen, you're here to ask for money from me."

"Mr. Wang, we are making money together. The better our films sell, the more money Wanda will make."

"You are quite good at this, kid."

Wang Jianlin said: "Do you want to tell you some data?"

"What data?"

"You filmed it?"

"I have three movies coming out, Mr. Wang, which one are you talking about?"

"I just praised you and you're already showing off. In that case, I won't say anything more. Goodbye."

"Don't worry... Mr. Wang, I was wrong."

"Now you know you were wrong, it's too late."

Wang Jianlin laughed, but still said, "Forget it, I'll just give you a little tip. Your movie Lost on Journey might be a big hit."
