Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 246 If such a crappy movie can be popular, ours can be popular too.

The schedule for March is the same as what Chen Cheng said.

He was unusually quiet.

There are no well-known directors, no well-known actors, and no foreign blockbusters.

The cinemas seemed to be crowded in twos and threes.

The same is true for "Du Lala's Promotion".

After Chen Cheng and Han Jianu arrived at the cinema, Chen Cheng took a look, although it was the premiere day.

But the exhibition hall was only one-third full.

no way.

Although Xu Jinglei is quite famous.

But whether this fame can attract box office revenue is another matter.

Just like many TV actors.

If you don't refer to other.

You will find out.

He is very popular, extremely popular.

He is always a topic in the circle.

but.

Once he appears in a movie, he will be instantly reduced to his original form.

Once it comes to real money, a group of fans will tell you whether you are worth it.

"Brother Cheng, the premiere was only one-third full. Isn't that too bad?"

Han Jianv looked at the empty exhibition hall and said.

Since Han Jianu followed Chen Cheng to Taiwan to film a movie last time.

Currently, Han Jianu has become Chen Cheng's assistant.

According to Han Jianu.

When she told her father Han Sanping the news, Han Sanping was very happy and drank a few glasses of wine at home.

"It's not bad."

Chen Cheng had a different view from the others and said, "Isn't there still one-third of the moviegoers?"

"Brother Cheng, you have a really good attitude."

"hehe."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't judge some things by their appearance. We shouldn't always compare ourselves with those top-notch productions that break box office records. If we keep our eyes on them, how can we make movies?"

Han Jianuo was born into a privileged family and has high expectations but low skills.

But everyone has problems.

She is both his assistant and Han Sanping's daughter.

When appropriate, Chen Cheng would also share his understanding of movies with Han Jianu.

Say share.

In fact, I am teaching Han Jianuo.

Han Jianu seemed to understand but not quite.

Chen Cheng did not force it.

Many things can only be understood by experiencing them personally.

The movie will start soon.

Unlike Han Jianuo, she doesn't have too many expectations.

in contrast.

As soon as this film came out, it attracted the interest of many audiences.

“Hey, this movie looks good.”

"I thought it was a bad movie, but it's okay."

“It feels a bit like Chinese Partners.”

“It’s different from Chinese partners, but it has that sense of inspiration.”

Yes.

Why was "Du Lala's Promotion" so popular in the previous life?

It's because he is very down to earth.

The reason for being down to earth.

The problem is that women are at the bottom of the workplace.

In the company, all the dirty, tiring and difficult work was given to her.

But some salary increases, promotions, etc. have nothing to do with her.

This is the same as in many people’s workplaces.

Isn't that how everyone comes here?

For an instant.

That’s how empathy comes.

Once you develop empathy with a movie, your evaluation of the movie will be completely different from before.

"Brother Cheng, I suddenly feel that this movie is pretty good."

Walking out of the cinema, Han Jianu couldn't help but say.

Chen Cheng smiled and asked, "What's good about it? The picture, the camera, or something else?"

"I don't know either, but I feel that the filming is very down-to-earth and inspiring."

"Since you said so, I think this movie should be able to make money."

Chen Cheng was also very satisfied with this film.

Even more satisfying.

He just signed a minimum guarantee agreement with Xu Jinglei, and he was going to make some money.

That night.

The box office of "Du Lala's Promotion" was 800 million.

The box office is not high.

He didn't attract much attention either.

……

"Buried", for which Chen Cheng signed an agency agreement with Paramount, performed similarly to "Go Lala's Promotion".

In the North American market.

At this time, March is not a very quiet market.

In addition, the filming cost of "Buried" was only $40, so he did not have much money for publicity.

Fortunately, the agent is Lapaimon, which has brought some audience to the film.

after all.

As one of the eight Hollywood giants, Paramount is not as powerful as before, but its strength is there.

As it was a film they introduced, some viewers still went to the cinema.

"Hey, why is he the only one in this movie?"

"How strange. It's been more than 20 minutes and he's still the only one there."

Before entering the cinema.

Naturally, the general public has no idea what this film is about.

Although I understood a little bit after entering the cinema.

This burial alive means that a living person was buried underground.

This isn't something particularly creative.

It's creative, but he has been performing alone since the protagonist appeared.

There's no one around.

There was only one coffin.

There is also a mobile phone and a lighter.

The reason why everyone can see the male protagonist is because this lighter is the only light source.

If the flame of the lighter is turned off, it will be almost completely dark.

"Why is he here?"

"Who buried him?"

"What is he going to do?"

"He doesn't even know where he is. Can he escape?"

Ok.

This film successfully attracted everyone.

Everyone feels.

This movie is a bit like a suspense film.

As the protagonist made one phone call after another, everyone kept guessing about his identity.

original.

The protagonist is a Chinese American who went to Iraq to work as a contractor to make money. He was buried underground by the local Iraqis.

And why was it buried?

Then we have to ask why the United States invaded Iraq.

The male protagonist, who originally just wanted to do his job well, was arrested because of the local hatred towards Americans.

and.

And asked him to pay the ransom.

just.

On one hand, they were facing blackmail calls from the kidnappers, and on the other hand, they were facing the Americans trying to shirk responsibility.

The male protagonist falls into desperate situations again and again.

Even at the end.

In order to protect his wife and children, he had no choice but to cut off one of his fingers as instructed by the kidnappers.

And shoot video.

The video was uploaded to the Internet by the kidnappers, causing a global sensation.

The so-called police in the United States on 911/ finally showed up.

They came looking for the leading man.

But at this time.

For some unknown reason, sand kept seeping into the coffin.

The last 5 minutes of the video.

After the male protagonist learned that the search and rescue team was about to find him.

Everyone thought that the male protagonist was saved.

But no one expected it.

The location the searchers were looking for turned out to be another friend of his.

to the end.

The hero understands.

From the beginning to the end, the U.S. federal police had no intention of saving themselves.

But they bring themselves hope of life again and again.

And constantly pushing yourself into the abyss.

finally.

The sand that continued to seep in completely buried the male protagonist alive.

The film ends here.

"God, what kind of movie is this?"

"It was clearly just one person acting, but why did I feel like I was watching a blockbuster movie?"

"I recommend this movie. It is the most exciting and creative movie I have seen in recent years."

……

of course.

Whether it is "Du Lala's Promotion" or Chen Cheng's "Buried Alive".

Although both films performed well.

But neither of these two films will attract as much attention as those big-budget, high-investment, super-blockbuster films.

But even so.

After watching these two films, some people recommended them.

On the domestic side.

The box office of "Go Lala's Job" still remains in the millions every day.

It didn't have a big rise, nor did it have a big fall.

His box office performance is not good, but it doesn't seem to be particularly bad either.

If you don't know him, look at his box office.

You'll find that this is a very ordinary film.

"Everyone, would you like to consider the mainland's March schedule?"

"It's too cold in the mainland in March, what are you still thinking about doing?"

"I don't want to think about it, but there are only so many movies scheduled in the future. There are dozens of movies in Hong Kong alone, and there are also movies in mainland China. I'm afraid that if they are all crowded together, it will be more disadvantageous for us."

Many directors in Hong Kong began discussing this.

After Chen Cheng had exchanges with Hong Kong, Hong Kong began to compete secretly with the mainland.

Although no media reported it.

but.

These directors and actors all want to prove themselves to everyone in the mainland market.

They are the pinnacle of Chinese-language films.

Even if they decline, they are still better than the mainland.

“Hey, this movie seems pretty good.”

"Which one?"

"'Du Lala's Promotion'."

"It's just average. The box office of this movie is only 4000 million so far."

"But it was only released for 10 days. And, I looked at its production cost, it was only 1500 million."

Although "Go Lala's Promotion" has not performed well at the box office since its inception.

but.

As the box office of "Go Lala's Job" increased every day, he finally attracted a lot of attention.

4000 million box office is not high.

But a box office of 10 million in 4000 days is pretty good.

Don't compare yourself to those top movies that make tens of millions in a single day.

Even though it’s 2010.

There are still a lot of movies whose box office revenue has not exceeded 100 million.

Just like the mainland.

There are only six directors whose box office revenues have exceeded 6 million yuan.

Even if it is Hong Kong.

He only has Stephen Chow, Yu Rentai who directed Huo Yuanjia, Wu Yusen, Wong Pak Ming, Chan Ka Sheung, Teddy Chan, Andrew Lau, and Chan Ho-Hsin.

Adding them all together, there are only less than 10 directors whose box office revenue exceeds million yuan.

"Let's go to the cinema."

A group of Hong Kong directors walked into the cinema.

They want to see this movie called "Du Lala's Promotion".

……

"There are no images, no acting skills, and the story is very simple."

"I can't believe that a movie like this could have a box office of 4000 million."

Different people have different opinions when watching a movie.

Some people resonated with the show after watching it.

I was moved when I saw it.

I saw inspiration.

But for some people, what they see is a bad movie, what they see is crude production, and all they see is two words: garbage.

Yes.

They really don't understand.

How could such a rubbish movie earn 4000 million at the box office?

According to this trend.

10 million in 4000 days, considering the one-month release period, it must be at least 8000 million, right?
8000 million is not a lot.

But considering the production cost of only 1500 million, he has already made a lot of money.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should consider the mainland market in March."

"Really want to consider it?"

"Yes."

"Tell me the reason?"

"I think the mainland film market has begun to rise across the board. Even very ordinary films can still earn a lot of box office revenue."

"Are you talking about the movie 'Du Lala's Promotion'?"

"Yes, it has already grossed 5000 million. I was thinking, if such a crappy movie can be so popular, why can't we?"

Staring at "Go Lala's Promotion".

Zhong Shujia, the director of "Dragon Phoenix Shop", said sternly.
