Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 260 What factory manager? He is obviously my husband.

"I didn't expect that I would become a factory owner."

Looking at the comments of people online about his new title, Chen Cheng was not angry.

Not only was I not angry.

Chen Cheng also added the title "Factory Manager" on his personal Weibo.

This move made many netizens sigh and admire Chen Cheng's magnanimity.

But this has created another meme.

Seeing a group of netizens calling Chen Cheng "factory master", a group of female netizens said: "What factory master? This is obviously my husband."

"Yes, it's a factory, I tried it last night, it's very strong and powerful."

"Shame on you! You tried it with me."

"Honey, let us prove to you that you are not really that person."

"Hubby, I'll give you proof too."

For an instant.

Chen Cheng’s personal Weibo: The speed reached 200 mph.

Chen Cheng was also stunned.

Sigh secretly.

Boys and girls should protect themselves well when they go out.

……

The box office figures for Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate on that day were released.

5000 million.

Chen Cheng was very satisfied.

but.

He also doesn't have time to keep an eye on the box office.

He plans to visit the sets of "Love is Not Blind" and "Love Is Not Blind" to see their progress.

no way.

Although the two films started shooting earlier, their shooting efficiency was far inferior to Chen Cheng's.

inside.

One is the issue of funding.

Another issue is the actors’ schedules.

But there is almost no problem with Chen Cheng.

Generally, he can start filming within a few days after finishing casting.

Actor schedule.

nonexistent.

As long as they can join Chen Cheng's crew, all the actors would rather turn down other roles.

"Junyan, how is it going? How is the filming these days?"

"It's OK, but yesterday's scene had 18 NGs and I almost cried."

"It's normal, 18 times is nothing. The thing that makes me cry the most is 30 NGs."

"What should I do?"

"What can I do? I'll just keep filming until it's OK."

“Will the actor’s mentality explode?”

“Yes, but we still have to shoot even after the explosion. Every actor has to go through this process.”

"Oh my god, you've made me afraid of you. I used to think that if I had the chance I would join your crew, but now I think I'd better stay in the small crew."

"Hahaha, well then, if there's a suitable role in the future, I won't bother to call you."

"Don't worry, Director Chen, Boss Chen, Classmate Chen... you can still call them that."

Jiao Junyan is Chen Cheng's classmate.

The two met again after graduation, when the crew started filming.

When we meet at this moment, we have endless things to talk about.

"By the way, Junyan, how are the other students?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"You know, tell me everything."

"Well, it's been a year since graduation, and I heard that several of my classmates have changed their careers. For example, Xiao Fei, she started to perform skits."

"That's normal. Xiao Fei didn't really change her profession, she's still in our circle. Have you seen the skit she performed?"

"No."

"Watch it when you have time, it's hilarious."

"Fortunately, most of them stayed. However, some moved behind the scenes. The ones who did better were Mimi, Shanshan, Zhang Wei, Zhu Xiaohua... They were all brought up by you."

"You can't say that. Mimi became famous very early. When I was working on the crew, she was already a little star. The others also have decent acting skills and can seize opportunities."

The afternoon scenes were filmed.

Chen Cheng invited Jiao Junyan, Zhang Jiayi, Hai Qing, Guo Jinfei, director Teng Huatao, and screenwriter Bao Jinjin to have dinner together.

Female No. 1 Bai Baihe wanted to move closer intentionally or unintentionally.

Fortunately, I was pulled elsewhere by the emblem.

Some other actors said enviously: "Look, this is the great director of Beijing Film Academy. It makes me want to repeat my studies and take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy again."

Many actors from the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the Central Academy of Drama felt warm in their hearts.

no way.

Shanghai Theatre Academy and Central Academy of Drama are inherently weaker than Beijing Film Academy in terms of directing.

The two academies produce more actors and fewer directors.

But that doesn’t mean there are no great directors at Shanghai Theatre Academy and Central Academy of Drama.

But even if there is.

These big directors don’t know them either.

They also don't have the opportunity to come into contact with these big directors.

Chen Cheng in front of me.

He is one of the top directors in the country, but he still takes such good care of his alumni.

This friendship among classmates is truly more effective than any other resources.

……

"Brother Chen Cheng, there is a film that wants to find me recently. Do you think I should take it?"

Chen Cheng made appointments with his seniors from Beijing Film Academy.

Since we are all from the same school, there is no need to be polite. At the dinner table, everyone calls each other brothers.

Zhang Jiayi had been undecided about something, and when he saw Chen Cheng coming and sat down in the restaurant, he was the first person to ask.

"Brother Jiayi, which movie?"

"A doctor-themed movie called "Mind Surgery."

"catch."

Chen Cheng replied directly.

This made Zhang Jiayi a little strange: "Brother Chen Cheng, have you heard of this movie?"

"No."

"If there is no such thing, why would you still recommend me to take it?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Of course I will take it. Why, Brother Jiayi, do you seem to have some concerns?"

"I don't have any major concerns, but I feel like there doesn't seem to be much of a market for medical films."

"Do you feel that there weren't many medical films in the past?"

"Correct."

"Why don't you change your mind?"

Chen Cheng said: "It is precisely because it is not available and is very rare. If you accept it, you will be the first person to try it."

"I'm just afraid that crabs are poisonous."

"Don't worry, doctor. Medical treatment is closely related to us and our physical health. Although I don't know what the plot of the film "Mind Game" is like, I think there will definitely be a market for this type of film. Moreover, it will attract a lot of attention. In particular, if there are some typical medical cases in the film, it often becomes a hot topic."

"Then I'll listen to my junior brother."

……

The next day.

Chen Cheng went to the crew of "Love Will Last Forever".

Chen Cheng looked at some of the shots that had been taken previously and offered some suggestions.

Li Yapeng just has no chance.

Chen Cheng invited Li Yapeng to have tea together.

Li Yapeng came over and said, "Director Chen, I heard not long ago that you also directed a film, and it was finished so quickly."

"I'm a legendary quick shooter, so of course I have to be faster."

“It’s fast, but the quality of each one is so good.”

"Quality depends on what it is. Good acting doesn't mean quality, nor does good pictures mean quality. What I pursue may be different from what other directors pursue."

"Listening to Director Chen's talk is worth ten years of study."

Li Yapeng thought about it and felt that what Chen Cheng said made a lot of sense.

But Li Yapeng didn't know what the specific reason was.

But he is not very interested in these now.

Look at Li Yapeng.

Chen Cheng seemed to remember.

It was after this play that Li Yapeng stopped acting.

Later he switched to business, real estate.

I didn't make much money, but I got a lot of criticism.

Talk about it.

Chen Cheng is still quite optimistic about Li Yapeng.

This is promising.

It’s nothing else but the acting career.

If this guy had continued to work in the acting field, he would have achieved great success.

And this guy seems to be very suitable for women.

Zhou Xun, Wang Fei...are all famous female stars.

Zhou Xun even said that Li Yapeng satisfied all his fantasies about men. This is of course exaggerated.

But it shows how popular this guy is in the eyes of women.

"I heard you're planning to get into real estate?"

"Yeah, after this movie is finished, I may not act in any more movies."

“You like real estate so much?”

"I think the national economy is taking off, real estate is the mainstay, and the country will vigorously develop real estate."

"It's a good idea, but you're just an actor. Acting and doing business are two different things."

“I am still quite interested in business.”

Chen Cheng did not persuade him any further.

Everyone has a path to take.

It is difficult for Chen Cheng to interfere completely.

Not to mention Li Yapeng.

Even for classmates who had a very good relationship with Chen Cheng, it was not certain that a few words from Chen Cheng could change their lives.

……

The two crews finished the visit.

Chen Cheng returned to Taipei.

The Directors Guild held a mid-year meeting.

The meeting not only summarized the achievements of the entire association in the past six months and the future development direction.

There is another item on the agenda, which is to add a new executive member.

The new executive member on the list is naturally Chen Cheng.

Regarding Chen Cheng.

None of the directors attending the meeting had any objections.

Some directors also suggested that all members should vote directly to add a vice president.

This made Chen Cheng flattered, and he said to the directors, "You want to hang me on a tree and roast me."

Everyone burst into laughter.

As the domestic box office record holder, Chen Cheng is not only young but also humble, and is very popular among directors.

Even if you don't like Chen Cheng.

I also admire Chen Cheng's strength.

Such as Feng Xiaogang.

After the meeting, Feng Xiaogang congratulated Chen Cheng and left.

On the other hand, Brother Chen Kai and Zhang Yi came over with a smile and said, "Chen Cheng, look, you've offended Director Feng again."

Chen Cheng spread his hands: "If he thinks so, there is nothing I can do."

"Congratulations! Longmen Flying Dagger may break the record again."

"Thank you. However, I am only the producer of Dragon Gate Flying Daggers. Strictly speaking, this film is not mine."

Brother Chen Kai said: "Although it is not yours, you see, all netizens regard it as yours. It's like The Swordsman directed by King Hu, but you see, now a lot of people say that this is The Swordsman directed by Tsui Hark."

"Okay, I hope Old Monster Xu won't scold me in the future."

"Hahaha……"

The directors laughed again.

After the meeting.

Huang Jianxin took Chen Cheng to visit China Film Corporation.

Han Sanping took the two to the office.

Chen Cheng was stunned and said, "Director Han, there won't be another big production, will there?"

"You are still smart."

Han Sanping said, "You did a great job filming The Founding of the Republic of Daye. Jianxin and I are planning to film another one, The Founding of the Party. We'd like you to be the director. Please spare some time."

"Director Han, I may not have time."

"Didn't you just finish filming?"

"The main reason is that I have to go back to school after the summer vacation. Also, I have a movie in Hollywood."

"You mean Source Code? It's already been taken off the screen. You made a fortune again, kid. I'm jealous."

"Not this one, the other one."

"Which one?"

"Inception."

"Oh my god, it's really you."

Chen Cheng nodded.

This kind of thing can't be kept secret for long.

Sooner or later everyone will know.

On Han Sanping's side, Chen Cheng also told the truth.

"However, Director Han, President, please don't spread this for now."

"Why, such an awesome thing?"

"I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of falling down."

"How is that possible? Even if this movie performs poorly at the box office, with an investment of $1.8 million, it will at least generate $ million to $ million in box office worldwide. With better luck, it could even generate $ million or $ million."

"Anyway, let's not spread it out now."

"Okay, you have such a mess of thoughts, I can't understand you."

The two nodded.

But Han Sanping was conflicted: "Chen Cheng, this won't work. If you don't direct, do you want me and Lao Huang to shoot it ourselves? We can't do it."

of course.

It’s not that I can’t take pictures.

The main reason is that the two haven't made a movie for a long time.

For a blockbuster like this, we must find someone with a lot of experience.

Chen Cheng is naturally the first choice.

"another?"

"Replace who?"

"or……"

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng said, "How about changing to Director Kai?"

"Brother Kai."

The two looked at each other and said, "It's not that Brother Kai is not good enough. We have thought about him. However, his performance in the few films he has made since The Promise has been average."

Chen Cheng explained: "This is the case in the industry. It's not possible for every movie to be a hit or set a record."

"Isn't this the one in front of us?"

"Uh……"

Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing. "Two big guys, don't look at me like that. I really don't have time. Also, it's really tiring to shoot this kind of film. I won't do it again, even if you kill me."

"Ok."

Seeing Chen Cheng so determined, the two men said nothing more.

of course.

One more thing is.

Not only does it take a lot of time to make a film like this, but the director doesn't get paid much either.

The previous film, Founding of Daye, was purely for charity.

of course.

It's not just Chen Cheng who is doing this, all the actors are doing charity work.

Given Chen Cheng’s current status as a director, ordinary crews may not be able to afford him.

If Chen Cheng reported a higher price, it would be embarrassing since they are so familiar with each other.

The price I quoted was too low, and I feel like I’ve lost money.

The last two words, don’t take it.

……

"Brother, I am Chen Cheng."

After leaving China Film Group, Chen Cheng called Brother Chen Kai and said, "Director Han and the president just talked to me about the new film."

"The great cause of founding the Party?"

"It seems you have news?"

"With the box office success of Founding of the Republic, it's only natural that they will continue to shoot. It's said that it will be a trilogy."

"should be."

Chen Cheng nodded: "Brother, how about you try to get it?"

"Ah, wasn't I looking for you?"

"I...I just can't spare the time lately."

"What do Director Han and the president mean?"

"They haven't decided yet, but from what they say, they have considered you. I think, Brother, you have a chance."

"It's hard to say."

Brother Chen Kai is still somewhat moved by this movie.

but.

After thinking for a while, he added, "It should be not just me who has been considered, Yi Mou and Feng Xiaogang will also be considered."

"Director Zhang may not accept it."

Chen Cheng said: "He is not thinking about this right now. He is going to use The Hawthorn Tree to win awards. As for later, The Hawthorn Tree did not make much money at the box office. Zhang Weiping behind him is very anxious. I guess he will make another commercial film after The Hawthorn Tree."

"Where's Feng Xiaogang?"

"Director Feng's recently released If You Are the One 2 has done well at the box office. In addition, the box office of the previous films is also OK, so Director Han and the president will indeed give more consideration. However, Brother, if Director Han and the president come to you, tell them that I can be the producer of this film."

"Junior brother, you made me..."

Brother Chen Kai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chen Cheng said, "Brother, I know what you mean. Don't think too much. Take advantage of the opportunity."

"Junior brother, don't worry."
