Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 280 2011 Spring Season, "Lost on Journey 2".

Chapter 280 2011 Spring Festival, "Lost on Journey 2".

"Inception" did not set a new record at the domestic box office.

It ended with a box office of 9 million.

Many fans felt sad that such a good movie only had a box office of 9 million.

But Chen Cheng knew.

Although Inception is good, it does have a certain threshold for viewing in the domestic market.

Some children and middle-aged and elderly people don’t really get the point of this movie.

The most popular group is undoubtedly the young people.

However, Inception did not set a new domestic box office record.

But in the global box office, it has grossed more than 8 million US dollars.

Converted into RMB, that's 60 billion.

……

After Inception was taken off the shelves, the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.

Deng Chao and Sun Li, who registered their marriage at the beginning of this spring, chose an auspicious day to hold their wedding celebration.

Before this, many celebrities did not dare to announce their romantic partners, marriages, etc.

Entering a new era.

The younger generation of domestic actors have stepped out of the old path of Hong Kong actors.

Announce your relationship if you are in love.

When getting married, relatives and friends are invited openly.

This wave of marriages not only did not cause the two to lose fans, but instead gained a wave of fans.

"Deng Chao and Sun Li have really achieved great success in both their careers and their love lives in the past two years."

"Yes, among the younger generation, Deng Chao's box office of 9.9 million is also far ahead."

"What's even more amazing is that Sun Li has already started to venture into Hollywood. It is said that Sun Li has landed a role in Batman 3."

Many fans sent their blessings.

As the mastermind behind the two couples, Chen Cheng also received wedding invitations personally sent by Deng Chao and Sun Li.

"Director Chen, you must come."

Sun Li said with great anticipation.

Deng Chao also said: "Director Chen, thank you for your care for us. If you need anything from Xiao Dengzi in the future, just say a word."

Chen Cheng congratulated the two and accepted their wedding candies.

After the two left.

Assistant Xiaomei looked at the wedding invitation with some surprise: "Director Chen, why is there another piece of red paper on this wedding invitation?"

Han Jianu, who was also Chen Cheng's assistant, said, "Xiaomei, this is Shuangshu."

Xiaomei asked, "What is a double book?"

"Double books are a sign of respect for the invited guests. Generally, only the most distinguished guests will use the double book etiquette. If it is placed in a small family, only the uncles of the man and woman can seal the double book."

"Oh, I see."

Xiaomei nodded.

Chen Cheng is naturally not the uncle of Sun Li and Deng Chao.

but.

Chen Cheng's care for the two of them was even more than that of an uncle.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, Shuangshu is good, but it also has its shortcomings."

"What's the shortcoming?"

"Look, they sealed you with two books, which means they respect you very much. In this case, you should seal your gift with a thicker one than others."

"Oh, so there is such a rule."

Xiaomei suddenly realized.

……

"The Founding of a Party" directed by Chen Kaige was completed at the end of the year.

Brother Chen Kai invited Chen Cheng to go.

Although Chen Cheng was not responsible for this film, he still went there since he was the producer.

At the finals banquet.

Chen Cheng, Han Sanping, Huang Jianxin, Chen Kaige... and others sat at the first table.

After Chen Cheng toasted everyone, he started chatting with Han Sanping.

The Founding of a Party is a film by our senior brother Chen Kaige.

Chen Cheng naturally would not take the spotlight.

Han Sanping praised Chen Cheng for becoming more low-key.

Then he asked, "What are your plans for the New Year?"

Chen Cheng said: "I haven't thought about this yet."

Han Sanping smiled and said, "You haven't thought this through, and you've made everyone depressed."

"how?"

"You don't know your influence. Some other producers are waiting for news from your side. If you have made up your mind, schedule the film quickly, otherwise everyone will be like in prison, watching whether you will show up or not."

"I go."

Chen Cheng smiled bitterly, then said, "Okay, I'll arrange it in the next few days."

……

The New Year's Eve period can be said to be the best movie schedule of the whole year.

Countless films and producers want this schedule.

If it were normal times, they might not think so much about it.

Even if there are strong opponents, they will at most study the PK strategy.

But Chen Cheng is different.

Chen Cheng is no longer an opponent, but a boss.

This would be the case if Chen Cheng's work appeared during the New Year holiday.

Although the fans enjoyed the movie, for the filmmakers, it was really a heart-wrenching experience.

The plate is just this big.

When Chen Cheng's works appear, the first thing everyone goes to see is Chen Cheng.

If the big boss Chen Cheng takes one point and then divides it among other films, there won’t be much left.

However, Chen Cheng also turned to Huang Jianxin and said, "President, I think you should hold a meeting in the association."

"What meeting?"

"Just don't think too much. If you are confident in your film, then go for it, regardless of whether there are other competitors."

Huang Jianxin smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's because you are here that they don't dare. A movie can cost tens of millions of dollars, or even 1 or million. If they lose money, who can they turn to?"

"Well, take your time then."

Seeing this, Chen Cheng had no choice.

Domestic films are just beginning to emerge.

Which director has such strong confidence?
Not to mention ordinary directors.

Even a top director would have to avoid Chen Cheng if he met him.

……

Chen Cheng went to watch "Love Is Not Blind".

Everything is fully prepared.

Chen Cheng asked the producer Jiao Aimin: "Jiao, what schedule do you decide?"

“It’s best to be during the Spring Festival.”

"Are you worried about other opponents?"

"I'm just afraid that Director Chen's film will come out."

"What about mine? I also invested in "Love Is Not Blind."

"Haha, that's different. You just invested in our film. But we really can't afford your Lost on Journey 2."

"Don't worry about it."

Chen Cheng patted Jiao Aimin on the shoulder.

……

"Love Is Not Blind" has also been filmed a long time ago.

Chen Cheng found his senior brother Teng Huatao.

Like Jiao Aimin, Teng Huatao is not too worried about other things, but he is worried about Chen Cheng's people in Lost on Journey 2.

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes.

These guys.

Is there anyone that scared?
……

In fact.

They're not the only ones worried.

Competitors across the entire industry are worried.

At the wedding banquet of Deng Chao and Sun Li.

As soon as Chen Cheng appeared.

In an instant, she became the focus of the entire wedding banquet.

Countless guests came out, stopped, or watched from time to time.

"Director Chen, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our wedding."

Deng Chao said with some excitement.

Actually, when sending wedding invitations.

Both Deng Chao and Sun Li felt that Chen Cheng might not come to their wedding.

after all.

Although Chen Cheng was very caring towards both of them.

But let's be honest.

The identities and status of the two were far different from Chen Cheng.

The two may be very grateful to Chen Cheng for taking care of them.

But for Chen Cheng, it might just be something he did casually.

Before this, the two had no special relationship with Chen Cheng.

But Chen Cheng still came.

How could the two of them not be excited?

Chen Cheng smiled and replied, "I don't have much to do at the end of the year, so I came to share in the good fortune."

"Thank you so much, Director Chen."

"You're welcome. I'll go by myself."

Seeing that the two were about to escort Chen Cheng to the main hall, Chen Cheng said, "You still have to greet other guests. I can just walk around by myself."

of course.

Having said that, the two still asked the best man and bridesmaid to take Chen Cheng into the main hall.

"Director Chen, your seat is here." Chen Cheng nodded.

He glanced at the best man and maid of honor.

The two were also very smart. The best man said, "Director Chen, my name is Zhu Yuchen, and I'm Deng Chao's classmate."

"Oh, are you also in the circle?"

"Yes, but they were all unknown movies."

The bridesmaid also said, "Director Chen, my name is Zhang Jianing, and I graduated from the Central Academy of Drama."

Chen Cheng nodded: "We may have a chance to work together in the future."

"Thank you Director Chen, thank you Director Chen."

The two said excitedly.

……

"Zhu Yuchen, Director Chen just said, will we work together in the future?"

"Yeah, I thought I heard it wrong."

"I thought so too. I just don't know if Director Chen was just saying that."

"No matter what, I can make myself familiar to Director Chen. Who knows what will happen in the future."

As they talked, they returned to the bride and groom reception area.

See the two of them coming back.

Sun Li said, "Jianing, have you brought Director Chen to the location?"

Zhang Jianing nodded and said, "I brought it to you. Director Chen also said that we may have a chance to work together in the future."

Deng Chao gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! You will be very successful in the future."

Sun Li also said: "Director Chen is a very good person. I didn't have much interaction with Chen Cheng before, but we worked together a few times. Director Chen thought my acting skills were okay, so he took good care of us. Act well in the future. As long as your acting skills are good enough, you will be able to rise with one opportunity."

"Thank you, Sister Li."

"Yuchen, you too."

"Of course, Brother Chao, you are my role model."

"Forget about being a role model. I was chosen by Director Chen because I was a gigolo. If you want to imitate me, do you also want to be a gigolo?"

Deng Chao likes to joke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

Sun Li also felt proud.

This also made many people secretly admire Deng Chao's emotional intelligence.

……

"Director Chen, you're here too."

Take your seats.

At this time.

Wang Zhonglei from Huayi came over.

"Boss Wang, you're here too?"

"Of course I'm here. Deng Chao is the top star in our Huayi."

"Isn't Brother Yi Senior Xiao Ming?"

"Well, they are one status and one position."

Wang Zhonglei quickly explained: "Xiao Ming may be slightly taller, of course."

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't care much, Wang Zhonglei said, "Director Chen, will your film be shown during the Spring Festival this year?"

"Go on."

Chen Cheng said: "I have three films that I might consider releasing."

Except for "33 Days of Broken Love" and "Love is Not Blind".

Chen Cheng also has an animated film, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

Maybe others don't take this movie seriously.

But Chen Cheng attached great importance to it.

Don't think this is an animation for children.

Even though he is a child, he still has high box office.

even.

In the future, the box office of animated films will set a record of more than 50 billion.

The layout at this moment is just right.

"Three... Director Chen, please don't be so aggressive."

"I have invested in many films before, and they have to be put on the shelves eventually."

"Where's Lost on Journey 2?"

Wang Zhonglei asked carefully.

Wang Zhonglei also values other films.

But the film that Wang Zhonglei, and a number of domestic producers, were most hesitant to pursue, was Lost on Journey 2.

Although it's Lost on Journey 2, they also know it.

Chen Cheng did not serve as director or even producer of this film; he was just a producer.

but.

Chen Cheng's product is different from other products.

This production is Chen Cheng's film, and it is truly Chen Cheng's work.

Moreover.

This is still a work in the囧 series.

Predictions from various box office prediction software.

If Lost on Journey 2 is released, the box office will start at at least 9 million.

"Boss Wang, you guys don't have a movie coming up for the Spring Festival, do you?"

Chen Cheng did not answer, but looked at Wang Zhonglei with a smile.

Wang Zhonglei was a little embarrassed: "There is indeed one film, which is a relatively large production, so I am still quite worried."

"Let the bullets fly."

"We invested 1.5 million yuan in this movie, and it will take about 4.5 million yuan to recover the cost."

"4.5 million is not high. Director Feng's previous If You Are the One 2 also grossed over 4 million."

"As for the box office, you said it before. Who knows?"

"Don't worry, the domestic market is growing so fast, and the total market volume is expanding almost every day."

"That being said, if the eight Hong Kong films don't make over 8 million yuan during the National Day holiday this year, we won't be able to handle it."

"This is also..."

Chen Cheng didn't say much.

Focus on the wedding ceremony.

……

"Boss Wang, any news?"

"No."

"Aren't you chatting with Director Chen?"

"Director Chen didn't say anything."

"No way, you didn't reveal anything?"

"It's not like he didn't reveal it... He said he has three films coming out."

"Three?"

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't want to talk, Wang Zhonglei went to another table with some embarrassment.

"Which three?"

"I seem to remember that Director Chen invested in Love Is Not Blind."

"Yes, there is also "Love to the End" by Lao Xu."

"What about the other one?"

"It won't be Lost on Journey 2, will it?"

"Oh my god, don't scare me. If this is... I'll have to withdraw it from the schedule."

“I have to withdraw, too.”

As for other films, they can still hold on if they grit their teeth.

Lost on Journey 2.

Many people in the industry also understand this.

In a word, it is Chen Cheng's direct work.

"Don't scare yourself. Director Chen didn't say Lost on Journey 2 will be released."

"Does he have any other films?"

“It seems there’s one in Hollywood.”

"Life of Pi?"

"Correct."

"If this one comes, I will also withdraw it. However, there is no news about this movie in North America yet, it should be released next year."

"Hmm, it shouldn't be Life of Pi."

Several people in the circle were asking for information at the same time.

Finally, he turned his attention to Wang Zhonglei: "Boss Wang, go ask Director Chen again. If Director Chen wants to go, then we will withdraw. If he doesn't want to go, just give us a word. We are all vomiting blood now."

"I...Okay, I'll go ask again."

Feeling a bit of a headache, Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to go to Chen Cheng's table again.

But Wang Zhonglei knew Chen Cheng's temper.

If Chen Cheng doesn't tell you, there's no point in asking.

During the wedding banquet, Wang Zhonglei opened his mouth several times but still didn't ask the question.

"Boss Wang, just say whatever you want to say. Don't hold it in."

Seeing that Wang Zhonglei's face turned a little blue from holding his breath, Chen Cheng smiled and said.

Wang Zhonglei was helpless and said, "I'm not doing this for myself, but for everyone."

Chen Cheng turned and looked at the other tables.

The film producers at other tables raised their glasses and greeted Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng also nodded to everyone.

After a while, Chen Cheng said, "Boss Wang, go tell everyone that my Lost on Journey 2 will not be shown during the Spring Festival."
