Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 279 This is a god-level blockbuster.

The popularity of Inception was even higher than Chen Cheng expected.

In Chen Cheng’s memory of his previous life, Inception had good box office in China.

But it seems to be only around 5 million.

As to why there are so few.

It’s not that Inception is not as good as Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate or Aftershock.

In fact, Inception is indeed very well filmed, but it is somewhat difficult to watch.

For the general public.

They may not like this kind of brain-burning movie very much.

This is just like Chen Cheng's previous films "Buried" and "Source Code".

Although the movie is a good one.

But in China, which has just emerged, many Chinese people have not yet entered the cinema market.

They can't beat those easy-to-understand films.

But now look at the popularity of Inception.

Chen Cheng could obviously judge that it would surpass the previous life.

Not only more.

And it exceeds by a large margin.

……

"Inception is now open, brothers, let's go."

"Of course. I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time. I never thought that Chen Cheng would make it to Hollywood."

"Yeah, and it looks like this movie might be a hit."

"The box office hasn't come out yet, how do you know?"

"Foreign media have predicted this, and this is Warner Bros.'s biggest film this year, and the previews have performed very well. Some fans who watched the previews said that this film is absolutely beyond our imagination."

……

"Hey, why does Chen Cheng have a film shot by a foreigner?"

"You may not know, but Chen Cheng rushed into Hollywood. This is the work he wrote."

"Does it look good?"

"Do you think Chen Cheng has any bad movies?"

"No."

"That's it, hurry in."

……

"Hello, please buy me two movie tickets."

"Which one do you want to buy?"

"Please recommend one."

“Just watch Inception.”

"Inception, why does it seem like a foreign movie?"

"It's not a foreign film, it's made by us Chinese."

"But they are all foreigners. Oh, there seems to be a Li Bingbing."

"Not only Li Bingbing, the screenwriter of this film is Chen Cheng, and director Chen Cheng is also one of the producers of this film."

“What is a producer?”

"The producer is the investor. To put it simply, even though this movie is starred by foreigners, it was also made by us Chinese."

"It's Chen Cheng?"

"Correct."

“Is Chen Cheng famous?”

"You do not know?"

“We rarely go to the movies.”

"Then watch this one, it's definitely good."

……

These are the old fans, new fans, and new audiences who just want to watch a movie in the cinema.

Old fans and new fans know Chen Cheng’s name, and they will buy movie tickets as soon as possible.

For those who had never heard of Chen Cheng's name, some people spontaneously recommended him to them at this time.

One reason for the recommendation is that everyone likes to watch Chen Cheng’s movies.

on the other hand.

The movie Inception really brings honor to the Chinese people.

Yes.

The more you know about domestic films, the more you know the influence that Inception represents.

Hollywood has always been the center of movies all over the world.

In the past, a series of blockbusters all came from Hollywood.

Many times when there are Hollywood blockbusters, a large number of domestic films are withdrawn or rescheduled.

Countless directors also dream of entering Hollywood.

But a pity.

This is just a dream.

Not many people succeed.

The only ones who are slightly recognized by the Chinese people are Li An, Wu Yusen, and Zhang Yi.

But even these three people.

Many people in the circle also said that they had not reached the level of Chen Cheng.

The three of them are just directors, not producers.

Of course, there are also those who invest their money into Hollywood and become one of the producers.

Such as Huayi.

They collaborated with Warner to make "The Forbidden Kingdom" that year.

But on the one hand, the investment in this film did not reach 1 million US dollars.

the other side.

It's actually quite frustrating to spend money without having any control over it.

Until Chen Cheng appeared.

Chen Cheng is not only one of the producers, but also the screenwriter of this drama.

He also holds great power in the crew.

Even when it comes to casting, Chen Cheng can decide on the actors.

This series of progress represents the rise of domestic filmmakers.

……

Chen Cheng is the same as usual.

I like going to the cinema like other movie fans.

"Producer, Chen."

Looking at the subtitles, there is a pinyin of Chen in the producer list.

A crowd of fans couldn't help but cheer in their hearts.

Then onto the feature film.

Inception is a film about dream stealing.

The film begins with the male lead, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and a group of experienced companions trying to kidnap a tycoon to get his business secrets.

result.

After kidnapping the tycoon, the tycoon discovered from a detail that the scene was different from what he was familiar with.

thereby.

He concluded that he was not really being kidnapped but was dreaming.

result.

The dream was shattered and the tycoon woke up.

The protagonist Cobb's mission failed, and he had to leave with his companions.

But after waking up, the tycoon realized that he was tricked by Cobb and others into entering their dreams.

Such a novel setting came out.

The eyes of all the spectators at the scene were wide open.

"Oh my god, this setting is too exciting."

"I can actually enter other people's dreams."

"In dreams, you can also get information from others."

"Interesting, interesting."

Although the scene was not like a comedy, laughter broke out from time to time.

But the audience couldn't help but marvel at such a wild imagination.

While watching the film, Chen Cheng was also observing the public's reaction to the film.

Chen Cheng likes this feeling very much.

This is why he came to the cinema.

No matter how many movies he makes.

Chen Cheng always believed.

Only by capturing the hearts of the audience can we make the next good movie.

If you just bury your head in thought and don't worry about anything else, just create your own work.

Although not impossible.

Although it is possible to create some good works.

But what about behind?

If you want every movie to be a hit.

In addition to having excellent vision and skills, you also need to know how to capture the audience's interest.

……

Dream stealing is just the beginning.

The male protagonist and his companions failed in their mission and were immediately issued a global hunting order by the tycoon.

The tycoon used the protagonist's two children as a threat to force him to serve him.

He hopes the leading actor can help him defeat his rival Fisher.

As for how to defeat.

That is to enter Fisher's dream and implant the idea of ​​letting Fisher dissolve the company.

The tycoon agreed.

If this is achieved, Cobb will be able to see his children.

Obviously.

This is an extremely difficult task.

Cobb knew.

To accomplish this task, he must find a series of desired assistants.

He began traveling around the world.

And she met an excellent dream maker, who is the leading female role in this drama.

After a series of efforts by Cobb and his partners, Cobb successfully implanted the idea of ​​disbanding the company into Fisher's deepest dreams.

finally.

After waking up, Fisher, under the influence of this idea, disbanded the company.

"This is a god-level blockbuster. This is a god-level blockbuster."

"Once the brain is occupied by an idea, it is almost impossible to erase it. This is implanted thought."

"Dream making, dream within a dream, genius idea."

"Not only dreams within dreams, but also third-level dreams, fourth-level dreams..."

"There is actually dream defense."

"Hahaha, yes, I was stunned by the train that appeared out of nowhere."

"I wonder if the hero has woken up, or is he still dreaming?"...

Inception was premiered simultaneously around the world.

While causing a sensation in China, Inception also sparked a global discussion about dreams.

even.

Chen Cheng's side.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei also called to ask if the male protagonist was still in the dream.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "If I tell you, it won't be fun anymore."

Chen Cheng would naturally not do such a spoiler-like thing.

but.

Countless movie fans around the world began to study Inception.

"I think the male protagonist should return to reality, because the spinning top seems to be falling over."

"I don't think so, because the spinning top hasn't fallen over yet. Is the hero still in a dream?"

"I think so too. When the world in a dream is no different from reality, you can't tell whether you are dreaming or not. Sometimes, even our dreams seem unusually real."

"What shocked me the most was the appearance of the character played by Li Bingbing, who played the hero's wife. Because she and the hero kept dreaming, she would enter the dream from time to time. Because she stayed in the dream for too long, so long that she even felt that the real world was fake, and then she committed suicide in order to wake up in the dream. This also caused the hero's wife to come and disrupt every time he was about to make a big move. This was his inner demon."

"I have to go watch it again. There are still many mysteries that I haven't solved. For example, I am very curious about the Lost Domain. And the time ratio of each dream, I didn't remember it at the time."

At this moment.

Inception perfectly embodies the style and elegance that a Hollywood blockbuster should have.

North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea... In almost every relatively mature film market, this film is dominating the charts at this moment.

The same is true in China.

Three days.

The box office of Inception has exceeded 100 million yuan.

In one week, the box office reached 2.5 million.

……

Chen Cheng didn't pay much attention to Inception at this time.

As the end of the year approaches, he still has two TV series to watch.

One is The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

One is Gu Jian Qi Tan.

The script of "Swordsman" was written by my senior sister Bao Jinjin.

My senior sister called me a few days ago and said that the script had been written.

Chen Cheng took a look and felt it was very good.

It's not just the character of Dongfang Bubai that is a great innovation.

Bao Jinjin also focused on the character of Lin Pingzhi, portraying him as a rather tragic figure.

Chen Cheng feels that this portrayal is better than many other versions.

And Dongfang Bubai has the aura of a protagonist.

Although this adaptation is quite drastic, Jin Yong will probably be criticized again.

But Chen Cheng didn't care too much.

He gave the script to Wu Jingyuan.

"Old Wu, you take the lead in filming this Smiling Proud Wanderer."

"OK."

"By the way, do you want to invest in this drama?"

“I want to invest, but I don’t have much money.”

"Invest as much as you can. This drama should be able to make a lot of money."

"Then I'll vote. Thank you."

Chen Cheng waved his hand: "We are just following each other."

talking.

Chen Cheng called Yuan Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, there is a movie I want to tell you if you are interested."

"Director Chen, you finally remembered me."

"Look at what you said. When did I forget you? Recently I am preparing a new version of Swordsman. Do you want to play the leading female role?"

"Ren Yingying? Oh my god, Chen Cheng, you want me to play Ren Yingying?"

"Uh, no, I want you to play the role of Dongfang Bubai."

"Ah... Dongfang Bubai, Chen Cheng, are you kidding me?"

"Why am I teasing you? My version of Dongfang Bubai is the female No. 1. As for Ren Yingying, I decided she would be the female No. 2."

"No, why is Dongfang Bubai the female lead? We can't let Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong fall in love."

"How is it impossible? Look at Jet Li's version of Dongfang Bubai. Brigitte Lin's Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong, played by Jet Li, started a relationship."

"I think I understand a little bit. The changes are huge."

“It’s a bit big.”

“But I think it’s quite interesting.”

"As long as you find it interesting, I'll send you the script. Please take a good look at it during this time."

"it is good."

hang up the phone.

When Chen Cheng thought of his past life, he did not feel happy.

The previous life version of Dongfang Bubai played by Huo Jianhua was played by Chen Qiaoen.

Ren Yingying was played by Yuan Shanshan.

As a result, the role of Dongfang Bubai played by Chen Qiaoen became extremely popular.

Ren Yingying, played by Yuan Shanshan, became the supporting actress and received no response at all.

But this life.

Chen Cheng, however, wanted to do the opposite.

He wanted Yuan Shanshan to play Dongfang Bubai.

As for whether it is suitable?

When it comes to acting, there is no such thing as suitable or unsuitable.

Many people have preconceived ideas and may feel that it is not suitable.

If the first version was played by Yuan Shanshan as Dongfang Bubai, no one would have any objection.

Chen Cheng felt that Yuan Shanshan had good looks and had filmed many dramas in various crews over the years. Her acting skills could not be said to be very good, but she had polished herself up to a decent level.

There is nothing wrong with her playing the role of Dongfang Bubai.

……

The Tang people.

Chen Cheng also went to see it during this period.

Tangren has launched a project for Swords of Legends and is currently casting.

Chen Cheng is the producer of this drama.

However, Chen Cheng did not vote in full.

One reason is that Chen Cheng didn’t have much money left after buying a series of copyrights.

Another one is.

There are too many TV dramas in China, and Chen Cheng can’t invest in all of them.

Furthermore, if Chen Cheng were to take full charge himself, he would be too busy to even vomit blood.

In addition, the model followed by Chenying Film Production Company is more like the China Film Group route, that is, the investment route.

Chen Cheng mainly maintains cooperation with major companies.

This means that you can control it yourself, and at the same time have various companies come to help you make films. It is a win-win situation.

The No. 1 female role, Chen Cheng, has already been confirmed, that is, Yang Mi.

Male No. 1 is Yang Yang.

Seeing Chen Cheng, Yang Mi walked up to him excitedly: "Director Chen, congratulations, congratulations."

"Mi Mi, your mouth is so sweet."

"It must be sweet. I was preparing for the New Year, but I didn't expect that a female lead would suddenly appear and ask me to play the role."

On the other side, male No. 1 Yang Yang also greeted Chen Cheng shyly.

for him.

Just as Yang Mi said, God gave him the No. 1 male star.

However, Chen Cheng patted Yang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Act well. I believe in you."

Although Yang Yang is not as famous as he was in his previous life.

But Yang Yang is no longer an unknown person at this moment.

In 07, Yang Yang played Jia Baoyu in Li Shaohong's "Dream of Red Mansions".

Although this version of Dream of the Red Chamber was criticized by a lot of people.

But it has to be said.

This version of Red Mansions has quite a great influence.

The second male lead in Gu Jian Qi Tan is Qiao Zhenyu.

This role was not recommended by Chen Cheng.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Zhenyu was still noticed by the Tang people.

But yes.

Qiao Zhenyu won a new title this year, one of the Four Beauties of the World.

It's normal to like him.

Such a character who is more charming than the male protagonist will have no problem becoming the boss behind the scenes.

……

"How is it, President Chen, how is the role selection?"

Tsai Ing-wen invited Chen Cheng to her office and said.

Chen Cheng looked at the list and replied, "Sure, you even invited my senior sister Chen Zihan."

"You're the producer, so I have to flatter you."

"Mr. Cai, these are good... I have no problem with this. I'll leave this film to you."

"Okay, just be a hands-off shopkeeper."

That night.

Tsai Ing-wen invited Chen Cheng to dinner.

At the dinner table, Cai Yinong joked and said half seriously: "Chen Cheng, I heard that your girlfriends are fighting."

"What?"

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I didn't even know I had a girlfriend."

"There's none?"

"No."

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"Pfft..."

Chen Cheng almost spit out his food: "Miss Cai, why do you say that?"

"Isn't it? If you are a normal person, you already have a girlfriend. If other people are like you, they would have seven or eight girlfriends."

"Miss Cai, it seems like you've also been single. Aren't you abnormal?"

"As for me...I am not looked down upon by ordinary people."

"That's it. If you keep looking down on me, you can become a nun in the future."

"I'm talking about an ordinary person, a certain person, I still like him."

"Who is so and so?"

Chen Cheng asked subconsciously.

Cai Yinong did not answer. Her right hand trembled and the chopsticks in her hand fell down.

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll do it."

Chen Cheng bent down and was about to pick up the chopsticks at Cai Yinong's feet. Unexpectedly, a sliver of black silk appeared in front of Chen Cheng's eyes.
