Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 269: 10 billion box office, is it possible!!!
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is a low-budget production.

But low budget doesn’t mean the film is bad.

Compared to movies like "Avatar" that are so shocking that they can blow your eyeballs off.

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is a film that does not look that tiring, but rather a very relaxing one.

Although at the beginning of the film, everyone felt that it seemed like a police and gangster film.

Chen Cheng, who plays the No. 1 male role, seems to be playing a gangster.

But isn’t that interesting?

In the police and gangster films of the past, the good ones were good and the bad ones were bad.

Even if some of them play gangster roles, they are all undercover.

A true leading male character would never play a villain.

But it is refreshing to see a leading male character like Chen Cheng playing a gangster.

He is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he also looks quite cute.

When he shot someone, he never shot with just one shot. Even if he hit the target with one shot, he would shoot nine more times.

He is so arrogant.

But the performance made people feel that this bad guy had quite a character.

If Chen Guilin in the play had always been a villain, perhaps such a film would not have been released even if it was worth watching.

The significance of Zhou Chu's elimination of the three evils also emerged at this time.

When he found out that he was ill, Chen Guilin suddenly wanted to do something big.

He wants to kill the two most wanted criminals who are ranked ahead of him.

The story becomes extremely interesting here.

Especially the last boss.

After decades of hard work, this wanted criminal has already cleared his name.

He also used a body double.

The protagonist was almost buried by him.

Until Chen Guilin saw through his brainwashing.

He did not set out to save those brainwashed people like some other protagonists.

In his worldview, he thought, these guys have been brainwashed anyway, so why save them?
although.

He gave the men 10 seconds to think.

As Chen Guilin fired one shot after another in the head, a series of brainwashed elements fell one after another.

"Oh my god, what a plot explosion this is."

“So cool, so exciting.”

"I think Chen Guilin's thoughts are normal. The first thing he thinks of is saving people, or something like that... He is not an ordinary person, he is a Bodhisattva."

"Yes, Chen Guilin was originally a gangster. It's good enough that he did something righteous before his death. What else do you want him to do?"

"Although I don't agree with Chen Guilin's approach, I think it feels so good to shoot people again and again."

"I also feel great and relieved. It feels like all the pressure is released just by being around other people."

"It's for decompression, brother, don't go back and biubiu others after watching the movie."

"Hahaha, how is this possible?"

……

Chen Cheng did not publicize too much about Zhou Chu's elimination of the three evils.

It’s just that there wasn’t much publicity.

However, Wanda, Guangguang... and other cinema companies have spared no effort in advertising this film.

no way.

So many films have been withdrawn or rescheduled.

With so many empty slots, we can’t give them all to Avatar 2.

At this time, if a relatively capable movie came out, they would naturally be given more publicity.

Yes.

Recently.

Chen Cheng could see it too.

Although he has not received much attention since the release of the film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", he has not received much attention for the time being.

But the box office is not bad at all.

The first day.

Zhou Chu eliminated three evils and the box office was 3000 million.

On the second day, the box office was still 3000 million.

On the third day, the box office did not decrease and was still 3000 million.

Although 3000 million is not as much as Avatar.

But Chen Cheng has a feeling that "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" are making a fortune in the global market quietly.

Think about how much Zhou Wai invested to eliminate the three evils?

More than 1000 million, nearly 2000 million investment.

In two days, he recovered his investment.

As for how much money you make later, you will earn it every day.

And I make a lot of money.

……

Over at the Hengdian Advanced Research Class.

Former student Zhao Liying bought a ticket for the movie "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

She originally started out as a group performer in Hengdian.

Later, he was noticed by the famous director Feng Xiaogang, joined his agency, and made some films.

Compared to extras, she is naturally extremely lucky.

but.

Over the years, she has basically played small supporting roles.

until.

Hengdian opened an advanced training class for actors, and she signed up excitedly.

Although the training lasted only half a month.

But after this advanced research class, Zhao Liying found that she was on the road to good luck.

Many resources came to her.

Although he still plays small roles, the roles he plays are becoming more and more important.

she knows.

All this is because of Chen Cheng.

Even though Chen Cheng did nothing to her.

He didn't even say a word of concern.

But Zhao Liying knew.

Reached the level of Chen Cheng.

When he wants to take care of others, sometimes he doesn't even need to say a word, others will do it for him.

She paid attention when Zhou Chu eliminated the three evils and Chen Cheng went to Taiwan to start filming.

After finishing the announcements she had these days, Zhao Liying hurried to the cinema.

"Hahaha, Director Chen is so cute."

“It would be a shame not to be an actor.”

Looking at Chen Cheng on the screen, Zhao Liying smiled from time to time.

Until a movie is finished.

Zhang Zhaoying's mind was filled with Chen Cheng.

"I really admire Director Chen for being able to make such a film."

In her heart, Zhao Liying was thinking about the plot of the film.

She also thought about the time when Chen Cheng taught her.

Zhao Liying really wanted to send a text message to Chen Cheng to tell him what she thought about the film.

Just thought about it for a long time.

Zhao Liying still didn't dare.

"You are already lucky enough to have the resources you have now. Don't think about anything else. You really can't think about anything else..."

I kept reminding myself in my heart.

Zhao Liying took a look at the posters in the cinema.

Chen Cheng, the one with a shaved head and a fierce look.

Before she knew it, Zhao Liying smiled again.

……

In Hollywood, there have been multiple versions of "Inception".

The reason why it is edited into multiple versions is to meet the needs of various regions around the world.

However, this movie is not going to be released so soon yet.

Warner Bros. takes this movie very seriously.

They plan to take the film to various regions and hold a few preview screenings first.

The purpose of the preview is to see the potential of this film.

And provide a basis for subsequent publicity.

Everything was perfect.

In the North American market, Warner Bros. held 30 preview screenings.

Almost every time the movie is screened, all the fans are excited.

In their words.

Inception is the best science fiction movie they have seen in the past ten years. It has very interesting innovations and very interesting settings.

I didn’t expect dreams to be so fun.

A dream within a dream, a dream within a dream within a dream…

Look at these comments, data, and everyone’s reactions to the preview.

Warner Bros. is analyzing the box office forecast of "Inception" in the global market as soon as possible.

"Congratulations, Kevin. Soon, you will create another blockbuster movie."

"You mean Inception?"

"Yes, that's the one."

Warner Bros. CEO Kevin took over Enrique's analysis report.

Enrique is the most famous box office analysis expert in the United States.

The box office predictions he made had an accuracy rate of 95%.

"very good."

Kevin nodded: "Enrique, how much do you think Inception will be in the global box office?"

"At least $7 million, and it could reach $8 million."

"If the Chinese market is stronger, it could even be $9 million."

Enrique said: "If you calculate based on a box office of $7 million, minus the cost of $1.8 million, you can earn $5000 million. If it is $8 million, you can earn $8000 million. If it is $9 million... Although I think it may not be achieved, I will still help you calculate that you can earn $1.17 million."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is my duty."

……

"Chen Cheng, I have good news for you. 20th Century Fox has approached us and wants to invest in our film."

Li An was so excited that he called Chen Cheng.

No wonder he wasn't excited.

To know.

It was extremely difficult for him to attract investment for each of the series of films he had made in Hollywood.

Despite this, he only obtained some Class B investments.

But now.

Li An did not take any action on his own, so 20th Century Fox took the initiative to contact them.

and.

They also had no problem with the $1 million investment proposed by Li An.

But when Chen Cheng received a call from Li An, he said, "Uncle An, wait a little longer."

"Chen Cheng, do you still need to wait?"

"Correct."

"20th Century Fox has given us very good conditions, including editing rights."

"That's not enough, we should also have the right to choose the cast."

“The casting rights are not out of the question.”

"I mean, I want to use Chinese actors."

How could Chen Cheng not know why 20th Century Fox came to him on its own initiative?

The preview of "Inception" just ended not long ago.

Although 20th Century Fox failed to obtain first-hand data.

But with their understanding of the market, they absolutely knew that this film would be a big hit.

That being the case.

It is only natural to get Chen Cheng's film as soon as possible.

"For Chinese male actors, this is very difficult. In many of the films I've made, I didn't have this privilege."

"Uncle An, your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"I know you'll say that, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon only had an investment of 1500 million US dollars. For Hollywood, it's a small production. Moreover, this movie is a martial arts movie, so only Chinese actors can be used. But our investment in this movie is 1 million US dollars. How much can you contribute?"

"I don't have much here, $2000 million."

"In that case, if the remaining 8000 million is paid by 20th Century Fox, we probably won't get the casting rights."

"Wait a minute. At worst, I can bring in some domestic film companies."

of course.

This is not Chen Cheng's best choice.

Given the current situation.

Chen Cheng couldn't vote completely on his own all at once.

He must rely on the strength of Hollywood to bring his films to the world.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the global film agency business.

Currently, there are few companies in China that are doing well.

This is why.

There were many good films in China in the past, but they performed very poorly in the global box office market.

This aspect is not adapted to the global market.

On the other hand, it is also because there is no good international film agency in the country.

The eight biggest names in Hollywood.

In addition to being one of the eight most powerful film production companies in Hollywood.

They are also the most influential global film agency in the world.

Such as Chen Cheng’s previous collaboration with Paramount.

The words just fell.

Just as Chen Cheng and Li An finished their phone call.

Paramount got the news.

Director Mark called Chen Cheng and asked, "Chen, do you have a movie coming out soon?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to ask Li An to direct?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case."

"Are you interested in cooperating with Paramount again? We are very optimistic about your film. Of course, this cooperation is no longer the previous "Buried" and "Source Code". Paramount will provide all the remaining funds."

"OK, I'll go to Hollywood in a few days and we'll talk."

did not expect.

Paramount actually had the same idea.

Chen Cheng kept smiling.

In this case.

Warner will definitely be very interested as well.

……

of course.

Chen Cheng doesn't have time to go to Hollywood now.

He is still keeping an eye on the box office of the film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

Although Zhou Chuchu the Three Evils is still suppressed by Avatar.

But same as before.

This movie is a good way to make a lot of money quietly.

He neither attracts attention nor makes people feel that he is very awesome.

The income is tens of millions every day.

The total box office has also been rising, and now it has reached 4 million.

Compared to Avatar’s current 9 million, it’s naturally nothing.

Because many people are now expecting Avatar to break 10 billion at the box office.

Although there is not much difference between 10 billion and 9 million.

But a billion is a billion.

The achievement of breaking 10 billion will definitely go down in history.

"Chen Cheng, I think your work "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" has great potential."

"Oh, Mr. Wang, how much do you think my movie will earn at the box office?"

"I predict that it may exceed 7 million. If you hype it up, it may be even higher."

"How to hype?"

"Damn it, it's not my movie, why are you asking me?"

"We make money, and you make money too, right?"

"That makes a lot of sense. Just let me distribute all your films from now on. I promise to promote them as much as possible for you."

"I have no problem with that, but it's hard to explain to China Film Academy about the lighting."

"It's as good as saying nothing. Think about it carefully. Anyway, if your film can get more publicity, the total box office may not be as good as Avatar. But... in the end, it may not lose much to him."

Wang Jianlin’s words gave Chen Cheng a lot of thoughts.

He originally just wanted Zhou Chu to eliminate the three evils and make more box office money during this period.

I never thought about competing with Avatar.

But look at the data Wang Jianlin gave him.

Chen Cheng's eyes were filled with a burning gaze.

What if "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" can also break 10 billion at the box office?

Think about it this way.

Chen Cheng just felt like he was given an injection of chicken blood.
