Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 257 It’s him, it’s him, it must be him!!!

Chapter 257 It’s him, it’s him, it must be him!!!
"I also want to know."

"I want to know more."

"I want to know more than you do."

Actually.

Everyone is familiar with this Chen.

If nothing else happens.

The Chen that everyone is familiar with is Chen Cheng.

His "Buried Alive" scared everyone.

I saw this signature again at this time.

Although everyone thought of Chen Cheng first, they subconsciously felt that this seemed impossible.

Is Chen really Chen Cheng?
There are too many people with the surname Chen in the world.

Will there be another director named Chen?

No wonder people think this way.

Chen Cheng's "Buried Alive" really scared everyone.

The box office was also very good.

But after all, the global box office of 7000 million US dollars can never be compared with that of "Inception".

The producer is Warner.

The investment is 1.8 million US dollars.

Although no one knows how much the box office will be after "Inception" is released.

But that's Hollywood practice.

As long as "Inception" doesn't flop too badly at the box office, it will definitely make $1 million.

Act a little more normal.

That’s a base of $3 million.

The director is Nolan again. Given his talent, the box office should be over $5 million.

5 million US dollars, that is 35 billion RMB.

Such a super blockbuster, if the Chen in it is really Chen Cheng, it will really make a sensation in the entire Chinese film industry.

"Brothers, could it be Chen Cheng?"

"I don't know, but I hope so. And if it was Chen Cheng, it would explain why Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun appeared in Hollywood and why they were invited to audition for Inception."

"I hope so, but I think it's too incredible. You know, Chen is a screenwriter."

"Screenwriter, is it great?"

"Of course it's not that great in China. But in Hollywood, screenwriters are one of the three giants in the film industry. Directors and producers are on the same level as screenwriters."

"My darling."

If no one says anything, everyone will lean towards Chen Cheng.

When it comes to the horror of Hollywood "screenwriters", many people feel uneasy.

"Is Chen Cheng so powerful?"

“It’s pretty impressive, but it doesn’t seem to be this good.”

"Is there anyone who can confirm this?"

"What little one is passing by..."

“After reading the reply above, I suddenly know who this Chen is.”

"Who?"

"Brother Xi."

"Oh my god, how could it be him?"

"Didn't he say he would quit the Hong Kong entertainment industry forever? Now, he's finally making a comeback in Hollywood."

"puff……"

……

The success of "The Laughing Man" has rekindled the hope of many Hong Kong filmmakers.

It only took a week for "Big Laugh" to break the 100 million yuan box office.

It is impossible to say that I am not envious.

Think about how many directors have never made over 100 million yuan at the box office in their entire lives.

did not expect.

Cheng Xiaodong's casually made rubbish martial arts comedy actually broke the 100 million mark so easily.

Yes.

they think.

Cheng Xiaodong's films are just rubbish martial arts films.

There is no acting skills involved here.

There aren't any particularly exciting fights.

Just add a little bit of humor.

Pulled a traffic star.

So it was a big win at the box office.

This is similar to Zhang Yi's previous three shots.

It’s just that Zhang Yimou’s fame is greater, which helped bring the box office of Three Guns to nearly 3 million.

Cheng Xiaodong is much less famous than Zhang Yimou, and the box office is estimated to be around 2 million.

But around 2 million is already incredibly terrifying.

A group of Hong Kong filmmakers think that with such box office results.

This marks the complete rise of mainland films.

The most active one was Zhen Zaidan.

After the box office of "Ip Man" exceeded 100 million yuan, Zhen Zaidan took on three or four films in two years, and his star career can be said to be bright.

As soon as director Li Rengang announced the launch of the promotional ceremony for "The King's Guards", Zhen Zaidan became very active and followed Li Rengang to more than a dozen cities.

"Zai Dan, thank you for your hard work."

"Director Li, it's not hard, not hard at all."

"Zai Dan, Lianjie is a little tired. I'm counting on you to make Hong Kong action movies."

"Thank you, Director Li."

"By the way, Zaidan, I heard that you have a good relationship with Director Chen Cheng?"

"Uh... this... is okay."

"That's great. You know Chen Cheng's influence in the mainland film industry. Some time ago, he showed his support for Xiaodong's film "The Laughing Man". As you can see, the box office of "The Laughing Man" has now exceeded 1 million. It is said that the investment in this film was only 3000 million. If we can invite Director Chen to support us, our film "The King's Guards" will definitely be a big hit."

"Let me try."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Zhen Zaidan called Chen Cheng.

After a few minutes.

Chen Cheng replied with two words: "Busy."

This made Zhen Zaidan want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

It's such a shame.

Fortunately.

Li Rengang didn't worry too much.

It would be best if we could invite Chen Cheng.

If you can’t invite him, then forget it.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

We can’t always think about foreign aid.

Say.

Li Rengang is now extremely confident.

He can perform so passionately in a movie like "The Laughing Man".

The "Jin Yi Wei" they produced so carefully can't be worse than this one.

result.

A few days later, "The Imperial Guards" was officially launched.

pity.

Although the outside media is very concerned about this film.

But the box office of "The King's Guards" on that day was only 1500 million.

It's worse than "The Laughing Man".

the next day.

"The King's Men" performed even worse, with a box office of only 1000 million.

On the third day, 800...

Three days later.

Industry insiders predict that the total box office of "The King's Men" will be only around 1 million yuan at most.

Although it seems.

1 million is also a good number.

The box office of "Ip Man" at that time had just broken 1 million.

But the 1 million yuan at the time of "Ip Man" is completely different from the 1 million yuan now.

The total investment for Ip Man 1 was only around 3000 million.

At that time, Zhen Zaidan only received a salary of 300 million.

Now "The King's Guards" has an investment of 1.2 million.

Zhen Zaidan's pay has increased to 3000 million.

Yes.

Not every film production company can reject Zhen Zaidan's offer like Chen Cheng did.

……

Some people who didn't believe in superstition, Zhen Zaidan, released his "Ip Man 2: The Legend of Chen Zhen" a week later.

This film performed worse than "The King's Guards".

The box office grossed 1300 million on the first day of its release.

Some media predicted.

The box office of this film may not even reach 1 million.

same.

The investment for "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen" was as high as 1 million.

However, Brother Cheng Xi’s "Little Big Soldier" performed well.

Relying on the reputation of the eldest brother.

Little Big Soldier earned 3000 million at the box office on the first day.

But after the second day, it started to drop a lot, to only 2000 million.

Fortunately, Big Brother's reputation covers several age groups, and the box office did not plummet, so it is relatively stable.

Professionals predict that the final box office of "Little Big Soldier" will reach more than 1.6 million.

A few films.

Chen Cheng took some time to go and see it these days.

The fighting moves of Jin Yi Wei are okay.

But a pity.

Director Li Rengang always likes to use one skin to express another thing.

Just like the Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, it tells the story of a young hero under the guise of the Three Kingdoms.

Jinyiwei is wearing the official uniform of Jinyiwei and tells a story of martial arts and love.

The audience was confused after watching the show and didn't know whether the Jinyiwei were good or bad.

I don’t even know what official position the Jinyiwei was in the Ming Dynasty.

even.

Chen Cheng was thinking, Li Rengang must know what the Jinyiwei does.

According to the plot of this film, apart from the clothes he wears, the male protagonist does not show any characteristics of a Jinyiwei.

As for Chen Zhen in Jing Wu Feng Yun.

This is about the sequel to the TV series Fist of Fury.

original.

In the TV series Fist of Fury, Chen Zhen did not die, but secretly survived.

If this story happened 20 years ago, it might be okay.

Can be put until 2010.

Such a story is too old-fashioned and has no novelty at all.

Another movie by Brother Cheng Xi, overall it's pretty good.

This is a historical film depicting the Warring States Period.

how to say.

Chen Cheng felt that this film was neither good nor bad.

The plot is pretty standard.

There aren't many highlights, nor are there many lows.

Several films were released later.

The performances were average.

Chen Cheng stopped watching it and prepared to pick a day to start filming.

……

The opening ceremony of "Galaxy Tutorial" was held in Hengdian.

The estimated production cost of this drama is about 7000 million.

This is the most expensive film to produce among all Chen Cheng's films.

It's not the actors' fees that have gone up.

Among them, the most famous character is Deng Chao.

But Deng Chao’s pay was not high at that time.

Although Sun Li has had several good works before and has played the leading female role several times.

But Sun Li is still a little bit short of the top-tier stars, and her pay is not high.

The pay of two relatively well-known actors is so low, so the pay of other actors is even lower.

The real money was spent on the scene production of this film.

Such as the special effects production on a spaceship.

The Asian Games has thousands of extras.

The most expensive project was the construction of the dam in the play.

This is also the most climax of the plot.

According to the plot, it was 98 and a severe flood occurred in the Yangtze River Basin.

In the story, Ma Fei, a 12-year-old boy, successfully escaped from the flood under the guidance of his father.

The construction of this dam alone cost nearly 1000 million yuan, and it has not been completed yet.

Chen Cheng estimated.

By the time the drama reaches the flood scene, the dam should be completed.

of course.

The production cost was as high as 7000 million yuan, and Chen Cheng also asked China Film, Huayi, Wanda and Hengdian to invest 4000 million yuan.

Chen Cheng invested 3000 million.

Let them vote because Chen Cheng only had 7000 million left and it was impossible for him to have no money left.

another.

Getting these film production companies involved will be beneficial to the box office of this film.

The domestic film market is not a one-man show.

The more a person votes alone.

In addition to being eye-catching, media publicity and cooperation in all aspects could not be so smooth.

Just like Wanda.

Wanda owns a number of cinemas in China.

You can't always expect Wang Jianlin to take care of you and schedule more screenings for you.

Wanda Cinema Line is a business.

Wang Jianlin increased the screening rate for Chen Cheng. If Chen Cheng didn't let others invest in a movie he made, Wang Jianlin would not be a fool.

……

"Look, Director Chen Cheng is there."

"Hello, Director Chen."

"Director Chen..."

The opening ceremony of Galaxy Tutorial Class received a lot of attention from the media.

There aren't many interviews with the actors.

The person everyone is most interested in is naturally Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, why is it called the Galaxy Tutorial Class?"

"Because of our film, Ma Fei's father, Ma Haowen, instilled in Ma Fei a series of reading and open-minded ideas when he was very young. Moreover, Ma Haowen did not let his son study hard, but took him to explore the motherland and took Ma Fei to the air show. Ma Fei had a dream since he was a child, he wanted to be an astronaut... This film is actually a film about fatherly love."

“Fatherly love, isn’t it a bit heavy?”

“I think after watching it, people will resonate with it more.”

"The investment is said to be as high as 7000 million. This is the film with the highest investment since you directed it independently. Do you feel any pressure?"

"It's OK. To say there's no pressure at all would be a lie. To say there's a lot of pressure, it's not that much."

"We invited Deng Chao and Sun Li to join us this time. What roles do they play in the play?"

"Deng Chao plays the male lead Ma Haowen, and Sun Li is the female supporting role."

"Ah, Sun Li is the female supporting role?"

"Although they were supporting actresses, they ended up together in the end of the play."

"Last question, is it you, Chen, the screenwriter of Inception?"

"Guess."

Chen Cheng smiled at the reporters but did not give an answer.

……

The filming of "Galaxy Tutorial" went smoothly.

This film is actually very simple.

The male protagonist Ma Haowen is a bridge engineer.

Due to an accident, the bridge designed by Ma Haowen collapsed.

Ma Haowen was imprisoned.

After being released from prison, Ma Haowen personally educated Ma Fei in order to make up for the lack of fatherly love.

The two young actors who played the young Ma Fei and the teenage Ma Fei were also very capable and gave good performances to Chen Cheng.

What Chen Cheng was most interested in was filming the flood scene.

In this plot.

Floods came pouring in, streets, roads, schools, houses...all were submerged.

The young boy Ma Fei, only 12 years old, was trapped by the flood.

At this moment, the dam upstream broke again, and our soldiers evacuated everyone for the sake of the lives and health of the people.

Seeing Ma Fei trapped in the flood.

Ma Haowen, who was extremely anxious, held the loudspeaker and shouted loudly at the flood in the dark night ahead, once again giving instructions to his son as usual.

Although Ma Haowen did not see his son.

Although he knows.

Maybe the son might be dead.

But even though there was only a glimmer of hope, Ma Haowen still did not give up.

Ma Haowen was calm and composed, and he taught Ma Fei to learn to think independently and have the courage to face difficulties.

Under the guidance of Ma Haowen.

The young boy Ma Fei was no longer afraid. He made a simple raft using a piece of wood that was washed away by the flood and a bed sheet.

Relying on this raft.

Just when everyone was ready to give up and evacuate.

A ray of light appeared in the extremely dark flood ahead.

Chen Cheng made some modifications to this paragraph.

In the original plot, this light was the light of a flashlight.

Chen Cheng felt that although it was not impossible to find a flashlight in a flood, the probability was very small.

So Chen Cheng changed the flashlight that Ma Fei found into a mirror inside the house.

Ma Fei remembered that when he was a child, his father used a mirror to reflect light.

It is also relying on this mirror.

In the darkness of the night, a soldier of the People's Liberation Army took a flashlight and shone it forward.

A strong light was reflected.

Ma Fei was rescued.

This plot is not only exciting, but also fits the theme of fatherly love.

Besides these.

Chen Cheng also deleted the plot where Ma Fei, after he grew up, hoped that his father would give up overturning the verdict.

Because Ma Fei felt that his father's case would affect his career as an astronaut.

Chen Cheng thought this plot was brainless.

Although Ma Fei finally realized his mistake, his father chose to forgive him.

But this created a huge conflict with the previous plot.

Does this deny the success of the father’s education?
If father's education is unsuccessful, then what is this film about?
in contrast.

After deleting this plot, Chen Cheng added a scene where Ma Fei encountered difficulties in space after he became an adult.

When he once again remembered the education his father gave him in his childhood, Ma Fei bravely walked out of the space capsule and repaired the spacecraft.

However, when returning to Earth, problems arose with the spacecraft and Ma Fei could have been killed in the cabin at any time.

Everyone in the country is watching.

No.

When such news came out, the whole world was paying attention.

Countless people around the world are staring at that spaceship.

Because of the speed of up to 8000 meters per second, the spacecraft has intense friction with the air in the sky.

In an instant, the entire spacecraft caught fire and turned into a huge fireball.

Space experts on the ground predicted where the spacecraft would land.

Dozens of warships headed for the East China Sea.

There was a bang.

The fireball hit the surface of the East China Sea.

Ma Fei met his father again on the deck of the warship.
