Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 270 We owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket.

"Brothers, have you read my book 'Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils'?"

I'm not very good at hyping up Chen Cheng.

but.

Chen Cheng, however, has a Weibo account with 500 million followers.

first timing.

Chen Cheng posted a message on Weibo.

Just for a moment.

Almost instantly.

A group of fans quickly responded: "Director Chen is out again. Not bad, not bad, we watched your film."

"Chen Guilin, we remember your name."

"Chen Cheng, when you have time to shoot a movie, please play more roles. We really like your role as Chen Guilin."

"I admire you for daring to confront him when Avatar was released."

Seeing so many fans reply.

Chen Cheng also said: "Okay, I'll play more roles when I have time in the future. But, you are a little confused now?"

"What's the tangle?"

"I just received a call from Wanda's CEO Wang. He said my film has great potential. He wants me to promote it. Maybe it will do wonders at the box office. Brothers, tell me, how can I promote it?"

"Fuck, why are you asking us this? How about you go to a few more cities to promote it?"

"This kind of propaganda is not very effective and cannot make a sensation across the country."

"What do you want?"

"I have an idea."

"What method?"

"I'll tell you later."

Chen Cheng sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Brothers, do you remember the movie "Love Call Transfer" that I played before?"

"Remember, you were also male No. 1 at that time."

"Yes, I want to ask, where did you see this movie?"

"Uh...I was watching a pirated website."

"Where are the girls we chased after all those years?"

“I also watched it on a pirated website.”

"Where is Lost on Journey?"

"Stop asking..."

A group of netizens felt embarrassed by Chen Cheng's question.

Don't say it yet.

over the years.

Although they like Chen Cheng's films very much.

But basically most people watch Chen Cheng's films on pirated websites.

There are also some that Chen Cheng took the initiative to disclose the copyright and make them available to everyone for free.

It would have been better if you didn’t say it before.

When Chen Cheng said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, Director Chen, we didn't have any money at the time, so let's just say we owe you a movie ticket."

"It's okay, I understand."

"But, Chen Cheng, don't worry. Now that we have money, we will definitely not watch pirated movies anymore."

“Do you have money now?”

"A little bit, but not much."

"Then can you return this movie ticket to me now?"

"what……"

……

In 2010, Weibo was still a very new thing.

Often, some popular topics on Weibo will become hot topics on the entire Internet.

At this time, such a situation was playing out on Chen Cheng’s Weibo.

"Why do I feel like I've been tricked by Chen Cheng?"

“I discovered that, too.”

"Damn it, it turns out that Director Chen showed it to us for free several years ago, and he was waiting for us here."

Some friends who did not participate in the topic were also stunned.

I've seen people digging holes, but I've never seen anyone dig holes so well.

But even so.

When you finish reading the topic discussed by Chen Cheng and a group of netizens, you will feel that this seems reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

in particular.

Those friends who paid attention to the whole process also burst out laughing.

"I finally understand, Chen Cheng, you just want to create a topic."

"I noticed that, too. But why do I find it so interesting?"

"Of course it's interesting. The real protagonist is directly killed. I think it's much more interesting than those who hype it up secretly."

"In that case, brothers, pass it on... We owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket."

……

"I am Chen Guilin, please remember my name."

Or independent journalist Liang Shi.

Liang Shi pays great attention to every one of Chen Cheng's films.

The same is true for this film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

Compared to other films.

seriously.

Liang Shi really likes this play "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

He thinks this film is unique, different from other films, and very innovative.

Especially the role of Chen Guilin.

He is not only lovable, but also extremely real.

He is not that kind of nice guy.

but.

But he is one of the ordinary people in reality.

And Chen Guilin's firing one shot after another and headshots one after another also made people feel very relaxed and refreshed.

The final ending.

Chen Guilin was executed.

But he still said loudly to everyone, please remember my name, my name is Chen Guilin.

See here.

Liang Shi was about to cry.

He thought of himself.

It seems that I am not as good as Chen Guilin.

At least.

When you die, I guess not many people will remember your name.

Finished in two hours.

Liang Shi had a myriad of feelings.

He neither thought Chen Guilin was a good person nor a bad person.

It felt very real to him.

Effortlessly.

Liang Shi wrote a long review of more than 5000 words for this work.

Looking at the box office of Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils, Liang Shi sighed and said, "What a pity."

Such a good film.

If there is no Avatar.

He will definitely attract the attention of the entire network.

But now.

Under the influence of Avatar.

Although "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is indeed very good, people did not pay much attention to him.

Just like the box office.

He was also always suppressed by the Avatar.

just.

Just as Liang Shi was sighing.

He wiped his eyes.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be dazzled.

"Why does it seem like the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is higher than that of Avatar today?"

Wiped his eyes.

Liang Shi opened the webpage again.

He wants to make sure.

Avatar, box office on that day was 2900 million.

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

That's right.

Liang Shi's eyes were not blurry.

Although it only exceeded 100 million.

but.

Zhou Chu’s elimination of the three evils truly surpassed Avatar.

"This this……"

Liang Shi almost couldn't believe it.

of course.

Some other media and people in the industry also couldn't believe it.

But soon.

They found the answer.

"Okay, I get it. Chen Cheng is hyping it up."

"This is a good hype. We owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket. Tsk tsk, friends who don't know the truth will really be stimulated by this sentence and go to the cinema."

"I still have to admire him. He is not only good at making movies, but also good at hype."

Some friends in the circle believe that such hype will not last long.

A day or two might work.

In a few days.

It didn't work for him.

But the truth was beyond the expectations of countless people.

After the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Evils" surpassed Avatar on the same day, he has maintained the lead and has not fallen back.

……

Many people find it incredible.

They feel that anyone with a discerning eye can tell that such a joke is hype.

But they don't know.

Such a meme.

Such hype.

For ordinary audiences, they don't feel disgusted at all.

Because Chen Cheng himself let everyone watch so many movies for free. Another one.

This kind of joke appeared when Chen Cheng was chatting with a group of netizens on Weibo.

Although everyone knows that Chen Cheng may have set a trap for everyone.

but.

There is a saying that goes well.

Sincerity is the sure winner.

Sincerity can also be shameless.

Just tell the truth anyway.

Chen Cheng's shameless sincerity on Weibo makes such a joke so down-to-earth.

……

The preview of "Inception" attracted the attention of a number of Hollywood film production companies.

And at this time.

The eight giants also turned their attention to the book written by Chen Chengxin.

Warner Bros. can't sit still.

They began to contact Chen Cheng.

finally.

With the participation of as many as six film production giants, Chen Cheng got the conditions he wanted.

Final editing rights, as well as casting rights.

"Director Han, are you interested in trying your luck in Hollywood?"

Chen Cheng called Han Sanping.

Han Sanping was stunned and said, "Forget it. I have no idea about Hollywood for now."

"In that case, forget it."

"Hey, come back, kid, what's going on?"

"Nothing. Didn't you say you didn't want to go to Hollywood?"

"Hurry up and speak human language."

"To put it simply, I have reached cooperation with three Hollywood film production companies, Warner Bros., Paramount, and 20th Century Fox, and are preparing to start shooting a new film."

"Fuck, is it true or false?"

"of course it's true."

“How much money will be invested?”

"Two billion."

"Dollar?"

"of course."

Han Sanping shouted excitedly: "Damn, you are awesome, another A-level production."

"Are you interested?"

"Of course I'm interested. How much investment did you get?"

"3%."

“That’s $3000 million.”

"Yes."

"How much do you bet?"

"$2000 million."

"2000 million. Oh my god, how come you are so rich? Oh, by the way, you have been making a fortune quietly recently. I am jealous of you."

"You've taken too much of the 2000 million. Only 1000 million dollars is left."

"Then we at China Film Academy want all of them."

"Director Han, don't worry, Guangguang, Huayi, and Hengdian also need some."

"Oh my god, that one is only 250 million US dollars, isn't that too little?"

"It's a little less, but... let's test the waters first. If it's too big, what if we lose money?"

"Don't be so arrogant. If you don't have confidence, how dare you invest 2000 million US dollars? Okay, we will invest 250 million US dollars first."

……

After China Film Academy.

Chen Cheng also made phone calls to Guangguang and Hengdian.

We are all partners.

Since he wants to bring them, Chen Cheng will not just bring one family.

When Guangxian and Hengdian learned the news from Chen Cheng, they immediately decided to invest 250 million US dollars.

The last one is Huayi.

This doesn't need to be called.

Mr. Wang Zhonglei, who heard the news, called Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, is there any good news?"

"What good news?"

Chen Cheng deliberately teased Wang Zhonglei.

"Director Chen, I received the news."

"What news did you receive?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You really don't treat me as your own."

"Hahaha... Mr. Wang, judging from what you said, you can't be left out. Are you interested in Huayi?"

"Of course, very interested."

"OK, you will invest 250 million US dollars like China Film Group and Guangguang Group."

“We’re investing $300 million.”

"300?"

Chen Cheng said: "The amount is only 250 million US dollars."

"I know. The other 50 US dollars is a red envelope from Huayi to you, Director Chen."

“So generous.”

"It should."

"Thanks for that."

"You're welcome, we're one of us."

Wang Zhonglei said with a smile.

Just hold on to the thighs.

This is not.

Since clinging to Chen Cheng's support, the outside world's view of Huayi has improved a lot.

More importantly.

Although Chen Cheng was not particularly concerned about them.

But sometimes.

There are some resources that others cannot get, and we will take care of them.

With just this bit of care, Huayi will be able to distance itself from other companies.

"Okay, in that case, Mr. Wang, you guys get ready. Next week we'll go to Hollywood to sign an investment contract with Warner Bros., Paramount, and 20th Century Fox."

"no problem."

"By the way, Mr. Wang, please pick a few actors from your company and bring them to Hollywood in the next few days."

"Director Chen...what do you mean? Do you have the right to cast another role?"

"Do not."

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Not just one role, but all roles."

……

"Brothers, have you watched "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"?"

"No, I watched Avatar."

"After watching Avatar, you should watch Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Evils... Don't you know that we all owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket?"

“It’s hype.”

“I know it’s hype, but it’s also true.”

have to say.

[We owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket] Such a hot topic once made "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" unusually strong.

Even in the later stages of their release, they still have over 1000 million in box office revenue every day.

of course.

Overall, the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is still not as good as that of "Avatar".

Up to now.

Avatar broke the 12 billion box office.

But Zhou Chu eliminated the three evils and his box office revenue reached 9 million.

9 million is naturally lower than 12 billion.

but.

With such a box office result, no one will say that "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is weaker than Avatar.

Got here.

we can even say.

Even if the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is ultimately lower than that of Avatar, it can still be said that it is a glorious defeat.

Check out other movies.

After the appearance of Avatar, each of them was defeated without any resistance.

This is not just a domestic film.

All the movies made around the world at the same time are the same.

But Zhou Chu's elimination of the three evils was an exception.

Not only was he not defeated, but his box office was still able to counterattack even under the strong pressure of Avatar.

In terms of domestic box office, he is already No. 1.

"Brothers, I suddenly realized that Zhou Chu's Elimination of the Three Evils is simply the light of our domestic movies."

"You just know now."

"Alas, my attention has been occupied by the news about Avatar, and I didn't pay attention to this movie. I didn't expect that he is so amazing."

"Haha, she's been secretly developing for a long time, and we just noticed her now."

"I only have one wish now."

"What wish?"

“I don’t know if “Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils” can break 10 billion at the box office.”

"That's what I hope too."

Countless people are watching the box office data.

Among this group of people.

Not all of them are fans of Chen Cheng.

Some people have no feelings towards Chen Cheng.

but.

When I saw that everyone was looking forward to the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" breaking 10 billion.

Involuntarily, they also began to look forward to it.

They don't know why this happens either.

may.

It is the unwillingness to admit defeat and the desire not to be looked down upon in one's heart.

"Brothers, let's fight."

"Do you still owe Chen Cheng a movie ticket?"

"I did before, but now, I just want to fight for our domestic films!!!"
