Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 287 There is another good movie, "Train to Busan".

of course.

Taking it all is just something I say when I'm excited.

Even if they were really asked to take them all, they wouldn't dare.

There is nothing so easy in this world.

It’s not like Hollywood doesn’t have animated films that can be invested in.

Hollywood also lacks a lot of people to invest in some animation productions that are not very sure.

If I tell you to invest at this time, will you invest?
That definitely won't happen.

but now.

Things are different with Chen Cheng.

inside.

The key is not the Hollywood animation, but the Hollywood animation produced by Chen Cheng.

If there was no Chen Cheng.

Not to mention a $1 million project, they would consider it carefully even if it is 1 million or 1000 million RMB.

finally.

Fantawild made the decision to invest $5000 million.

That leaves $5000 million.

Chen Cheng originally wanted to vote himself.

He probably still has more than 7 million yuan in his hands, so there will be some left for investing in this film.

However, after Fantawild invested, some other investors also learned the information and called Chen Cheng one after another.

inside.

There is mysterious technology.

Xuan Ji Technology was founded in 2005, and its well-known representative work is the Qin Shi Ming Yue series.

There is also Penguin Animation.

Like Alibaba, Penguin has begun to diversify its operations in recent years.

He has invested in various fields successively.

Animation, film and television are also their investment focuses.

There is also the well-established Shanghai Art Film Studio.

His representative works include Calabash Brothers, Black Cat Sheriff, Havoc in Heaven, etc.

Some of these investors have already made a great name for themselves.

Some are representatives of new capital.

There are also some, like Xuan Ji Technology, which have achieved certain results in the country.

But overall.

Domestic animation is still a niche.

They also want to change this situation.

But unfortunately progress has been slow.

Chen Cheng's production of "Big Hero 6" has allowed a number of domestic animation production companies to see opportunities.

They all came to cooperate at once.

Chen Cheng also believed that the more they came in, the better.

Although the animation market seems niche at present, it is not really niche.

Take the Hollywood box office for example.

The box office of many animated series movies often ranks among the top.

This is only reflected in the box office.

In the surrounding areas, theme companies... and other aspects.

Anime peripherals are also more commercialized than other movie peripherals.

If Chen Cheng were to do it alone.

Although it’s not impossible.

But Chen Cheng could hardly bear an investment of one or two hundred million US dollars like this.

The arrival of a number of domestic animation production companies will not only stimulate the development of the domestic film and animation industry, but also provide an opportunity to enter the global market.

After some discussion.

finally.

Disney invested $5000 million in this area.

Chen Cheng invested 3000 million US dollars.

Fantawild invested $5000 million.

The remaining $2000 million was given to Penguin, Shanghai Art Film Studio, and Xuan Ji Technology respectively.

Chen Cheng came as a producer.

Why is Chen Cheng the producer, not Disney who has the highest investment?

Disney is just the best on the surface.

But in fact.

The remaining $1 million was raised by Chen Cheng.

to this end.

As the producer, Chen Cheng also gets 10 points of the box office revenue and 3 points of the profits from peripheral products.

Don’t think that the revenue share of the 3-point peripheral products may seem a bit small.

But in fact, the 3% share of peripheral products accounts for the bulk of the revenue.

The box office only hits once.

But peripheral products last forever.

If this work continues to be popular for decades or even 100 years, Chen Cheng will get a share of the profits.

The next few days.

Chen Cheng also made some adaptations to the background of "Big Hero 6".

He placed the background of Big Hero 6 in the future Chinese world.

In this future world, various high technologies have blossomed everywhere.

Various types of robots continue to appear.

The young genius Xiaohong is full of infinite yearning and research on robot technology.

but.

Unlike others, he mainly studies combat robots.

Xiaohong is more interested in researching a guard-type medical robot.

As for the reason.

That is, my brother died in a series of fighting robots.

When my brother died.

Xiaohong really hopes to be able to treat his brother and restore his health.

pity.

My brother is dead and there is no way he will come back to the world.

After Xiaohong's unremitting efforts.

He improved on a robot his brother had previously made.

at last.

Xiaohong created the guard-type medical robot, Baymax.

……

"Li Bingbing went to Hollywood to audition for the science fiction film The Martian..."

Chen Cheng didn't stay in Hollywood for long.

But as soon as Chen Cheng went to Hollywood, a series of domestic-related benefits came in.

When Chen Cheng went to Hollywood before, he recommended a number of actors including Li Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Sun Li, etc.

at this time.

It seems to have become the norm for a group of domestic actors to go to Hollywood.

As long as Chen Cheng is in Hollywood, the benefits for domestic actors will always be there.

This made many actors in the circle envious and emotional.

It would be great if I could be chosen by Chen Cheng.

As long as they are chosen by Chen Cheng, they don’t care whether they are paid or not. They are willing to do it even if they don’t have to pay or even have to pay for it.

Mainland actress Yu Nan also closed the news with some envy.

Although she was very envious.

But she knew.

There's no use in being envious.

She is just a second-tier actress in the mainland.

In Chen Cheng's eyes, he could even be considered a second-rate actor.

There was no way she could appear in Chen Cheng's sight.

but.

She was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Datong, why doesn't Chen Cheng set up his own agency and train actors? With his strength and resources, he can probably train a group of well-known actors in a matter of minutes."

Agent Datong also nodded: "This is something that no one understands. However, some people in the industry speculate that Chen Cheng may not like to run an agency. He wants to go with a model like China Film. In this way, he does not have an agency. Then, he can cooperate with all domestic agencies. At the same time, with this model, he can also use all the actors available in the country."

"It seems that Chen Cheng still has a vision."

"Otherwise, people wouldn't even look down on a business like an agency."

"Ha ha……"

Yu Nan also smiled.

There are also high, medium and low-end levels in the circle.

In the past, Yu Nan thought that those gold medal brokerage companies were at the top of the circle.

She just discovered it now.

The so-called agency is nothing in the eyes of some people.

of course.

That's just talk.

Given Yu Nan's current level, they read these news just for fun.

She is so far away from Chen Cheng.

But just as Yu Nan was preparing for her own thing, her agent Datong received a call.

After a few minutes.

Manager Datong suppressed his excitement and said, "Yu Nan, I want to tell you good news."

"What good news?"

"Chen Cheng wants to invite you to an audition."

"What?"

"I know you don't believe it. I don't believe it either. But don't get excited. I will help you verify the situation now."

Ten minutes later.

Facing the verified information, Datong looked at Yu Nan and said, "Yu Nan, get ready. Tomorrow, we will go to Hollywood. The movie you will audition for is called The Expendables."

Although when he said this, agent Datong was still trembling.

……

There are still a lot of opportunities in Hollywood.

During this period, Chen Cheng not only came into contact with a series of Hollywood productions, directors, and super actors.

In Hollywood, Chen Cheng can also receive film talents from all over the world.

Like Yan Xianghao.

Yeon Sang-ho is a Han nationality.

He is also an animation film director.

Chen Cheng first came into contact with Yan Xianghao at Paramount, where Mark introduced Chen Cheng to an animation director from Han Country.

Chen Cheng didn't care much about it at the time.

In no mood.

Half a month later.

Yan Xianghao sent a letter of investment intention to Chen Cheng's email.

When Chen Cheng opened it, he saw a movie he was very familiar with: "Train to Busan".

Chen Cheng didn't expect this.

This film was actually directed by Yeon Sang-ho.

Touched his chin.

Chen Cheng made an appointment to meet with Yan Xianghao.

Although Chen Cheng was not interested in Han Country.

But there are quite a few films made in Han country, which are still good.

Be it a TV series or a movie.

A long time ago.

In terms of domestic TV dramas, Han Guo TV dramas have been exported to the domestic market for a long time.

Even in later generations, such phenomena are not uncommon.

One such situation is in the field of film and television dramas in Han country, where the system is more advantageous.

Such as the screenwriter system in Han country.

It can be said.

The place in the world that attaches the most importance to the position of screenwriter is not Hollywood or Europe, but Han Country.

This is related to the production process of many TV dramas in Han Country.

Often when producing TV dramas in Han Country, a few episodes are filmed first and then broadcast on TV.

If the response is good, then continue.

If the response is bad, then it’s over.

This model also makes the entire production process extremely dependent on editing.

Also.

Another is the more relaxed censorship system for Han country’s film and television dramas.

Yes.

in the country, many films may not pass the review.

But in the cold country, that doesn’t matter at all.

Just like this "Train to Busan", a zombie movie like this basically cannot pass the censorship in the country.

But in Han Country, he had no problem at all.

Not only that, no problem.

Even if they just shoot various films that satirize the Han country, they still have a huge market in the Han country.

"Director Han, how much investment do you need?"

Chen Cheng looked at Yan Xianghao.

Yan Xianghao was not particularly confident.

Although he has worked on two anime works before.

But the performance of these two works is very average.

This is only second.

The most important thing is.

He was originally an animation director, but now he wants to make a live-action movie.

From animation to real people, there seems to be no difference.

But in the circle, this is also considered cross-border.

"$500 million."

"Five million dollars is not too little."

"what……"

Yan Xianghao was stunned for a moment, then said, "600 million."

“I’ll give you $800 million.”

Making a name for yourself in Hollywood has its perks, too.

In addition to the smooth progress in the production process.

This is not.

Many talented people will think of Chen Cheng from time to time when they want to invest.

of course.

Chen Cheng invested in "Train to Busan" not only because it is a good movie.

More importantly.

Chen Cheng knew that the film and television drama system in Han Country was very relaxed.

Many times, films that cannot be filmed or shown in the country can be shown in the cold country.

Such and such words.

This also gave Chen Cheng more opportunities.

Since we can’t shoot or broadcast it in China in the future, it would be a good choice to put it in a cold country.

……

Hollywood has taken care of it.

Chen Cheng returned to China.

There are two things to do when I return to China.

One thing is that "Lost in Thailand 2" is preparing to select a release date.

another thing.

That is, Chen Kaige’s "The Founding of a Party in Ye" is about to be released.

Chen Cheng was only a figurehead as the producer.

But for such an important drama, Chen Cheng still came back and prepared to attend the premiere ceremony of "The Founding of a Party in Yecheng".

See Chen Cheng come back.

Brother Chen Kai said, "Junior brother, I feel relieved now that you are back."

Brother Chen Kai and Chen Cheng hug each other.

Brother Chen Kai is under a lot of pressure now.

Not long ago, several white hairs grew on my forehead.

Don't blame him.

Although directing "The Founding of a Dang" is considered an extremely important event in Chen Kai's life.

But because of the importance of this film, the pressure is also very great.

The founding of Daye City had already set an example.

This time the party was founded in Daye.

Before the film was released, a lot of media were already talking about it.

"I feel that the box office of The Founding of a Party in Daye will be at least 3 million this time."

"3 million is too little. The cost of Jianguo Daye is 4 million."

"Although Brother Chen Kai is one of the three major directors in the mainland, I think it is impossible to compete with Chen Cheng. Let alone Brother Chen Kai, with Chen Cheng's current momentum, it would be useless even if Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang came."

"I know what you mean, but after all, The Founding of the Nation was broadcast a few years ago. The domestic film market has grown so fast, and it was impossible for a movie to break 4 million before, but now it is very easy to break million. After all, The Founding of the Nation must have a box office of at least million."

These media people say from time to time.

This gave Brother Chen Kai a huge headache.

4 billion box office.

This is really not a small number.

So far.

The only directors in China whose films have broken the 4 million box office mark are Chen Cheng, Tsui Hark, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen.

Even Zhang Yi didn’t achieve that.

"Brother, you just don't have confidence. I am very optimistic about our founding of the party."

Chen Cheng said.

No matter how the party was built and Wei Ye was established.

Such a big movie, with so many star actors joining in.

For the audience, there is always a favorite.

Not to mention.

It's still a mainstream film.

Chen Cheng has always believed that.

The largest market type of domestic films is the main theme.

As long as it's not too bad, you'll have good box office.

Three days later.

The Founding of a Party in Yeh is officially released.

The box office on the first day was 4000 million.

After this box office came out, it basically predicted that the total box office during the release period of "The Founding of a Party" would exceed 4 million.

It may even reach 5 million.

"Junior brother, let's drink one."

"Brother, you are so happy."

"What do you think... 4000 million, 4000 million in box office in one day... I thought I saw it wrong."

"Brother, calm down. It's only 4000 million. What will you do if the box office revenue exceeds 4 million in one day?"

"The box office broke 4 million in one day, don't scare me."

"Hahahaha...where is it."

Chen Cheng didn't explain much and happily went to the place where Brother Chen Kai had agreed to meet.

he knows.

Brother Chen Kai today can be said to have walked out of the shadow of his previous life.

A celebration.

It was already 2: in the morning when Chen Cheng returned home.
