When Zhou Renfa rushed to the audition hotel.

The auditions for the day have ended.

Seeing Chen Cheng walking out of the hotel, Zhou Renfa walked up to him and said, "Sorry, Director Chen, I have something to do these two days. I am late. I will come again tomorrow."

"Brother Fa, what do you mean come tomorrow? Today is just right."

Although the audition for the day was over.

But since Zhou Renfa was here, Chen Cheng would not deny him face: "Brother Fa, let's go to the office and sit down."

Back to the hotel again.

Chen Cheng said politely: "Brother Fa, I was going to invite you in person. As you know, the crew is too busy."

"Understood, understood."

These are just mutual courtesy.

Whether it is okay or not depends on what the matter is.

If something important happens, I will come.

Unimportant things.

Even if it's nothing, it might not show up.

This is the case in the circle, and everyone knows it.

"Brother Fa, you haven't been to Hollywood in recent years?"

"not going."

"You can still go if you have the chance."

"I'm sad. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Haha, if I ask you to go in the future, will you go or not?"

"Director Chen, are you serious?"

"Well, it's hard to say. If there is a chance, we'll talk about it then."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Renfa's heart was already in turmoil at this moment.

He somewhat regretted why he came so late.

If only I had come earlier.

I'm afraid Chen Cheng has a different attitude towards himself.

But it's okay.

Finally it's here.

It's a little late, but there's still a chance.

Perform well in the future and try to make this opportunity come true.

Some small talk.

Half an hour later, Zhou Renfa's audition ended.

of course.

It's called an audition.

There was no such thing as an audition.

Chen Cheng created the role of Zhou Renfa because this role fits his setting.

As for auditions and stuff.

Just come here to meet each other.

But if you want to meet face to face, you have to fight.

……

"Chen Cheng is really awesome. He summoned almost all the top actors in Hong Kong."

"I saw it. The Four Heavenly Kings, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Renfa, Zeng Zhiwei...all went there."

"Well, I heard that Zhou Renfa was not going, but he went as well."

"It seems that Chen Cheng is even more terrifying than we imagined, even in Hong Kong."

News about the Cold War is hot news in Hong Kong almost every day.

but.

While Chill was in between auditions.

Some people in Hong Kong circles seem to have discovered something.

"Everyone, over at Han Zhan's place, should we also go and try out the camera?"

"You were invited?"

"It would be nice if I was invited."

"Going to audition without an invitation is so cheap."

"No... Don't you think Cold War is the biggest production in Hong Kong in the past 10 years?"

"Although it is, but...so what?"

"Didn't you read what Long Wu said a few days ago?"

"What did Long Wu say?"

"He said Chen Cheng is the best director in Hong Kong, and that Hong Kong films will depend on Chen Cheng in the future."

"It's an exaggeration."

"It's an exaggeration, but... who is Long Wu? So, you know Chen Cheng's power, right?"

"Damn, I think I just thought of something. This movie, can it be the Hong Kong version of The Founding of the Republic of China?"

"It's really possible."

"Then what do we do?"

"What do you say?"

"Hurry up and sign up. I'll go sign up first and see if they want it."

"Wait, I'm going too."

……

Everything went well.

Most of the actors on the list drawn up by Chen Cheng came for auditions at the corresponding time.

Even if some of them didn't come at that time, they would rush over later.

This also sped up the entire casting process a lot.

But there is also a headache.

Originally, Chen Cheng was planning to finish the audition in these few days.

I don’t know what rumors some actors heard, but they called Chen Cheng from time to time.

"Brother Cheng, I'm Xiao Zhen."

"Xiao Zhen?"

"Zidan."

"Oh, Xiao Zhen, what's the matter?"

"Brother Cheng, is there a role suitable for me in your new film?"

"Ah, not yet."

"Brother Cheng, I can perform for free."

"Not really."

"It's okay to play a minor role."

"No way, it's a waste of talent."

"Really, Brother Cheng... I don't have any ideas, I just want to put on a show in front of you, Brother Cheng."

"Well... okay, I'll see if there are any other roles you can audition for later."

Originally, Chen Cheng thought that this was just Zhen Zaidan's problem.

did not expect.

After Zhen Zaidan, a number of Hong Kong actors called one after another.

Such as Xie Tingfeng, Cai Zhuoyan, Zhang Xueyou... and so on, with whom I have worked before.

There are also some who have never worked together, but they used a lot of connections to say that they wanted to star in Chen Cheng's films.

As for the roles.

It doesn't matter.

Just as Xiao Zhen said.

Even if it's just a minor role with one or two lines, it will be fine.

even.

Some don’t even need lines, as long as there is a shot.

Chen Cheng was also stunned.

What's up with these guys?
Do you think of my drama as the Hong Kong version of The Founding of the Republic?

Why are all the Hong Kong actors here?
have to.

Later I understood.

It really is.

A group of actors from Hong Kong actually regarded Chen Cheng's "Cold War" as the Hong Kong version of The Founding of the Republic of Daye.

immediately.

As long as they are slightly famous actors in Hong Kong, they will either sign up themselves or ask for help from various connections...

I'll definitely take part in this film no matter what.

Chen Cheng was also stunned.

He was just making a Hong Kong movie, there was no way it could be so exaggerated.

However, with so many actors coming, Chen Cheng did not reject all of them.

of course.

Chen Cheng did not reject all of them, but he did not agree to all of them either.

Cold War is not the Hong Kong version of The Founding of the Republic.

Although his prophetic significance is indeed powerful.

Cold War 3 had already happened in the reality of the previous life.

But if we adopt the method of piling up stars and actors... this is not Chen Cheng's concept of making films.

Considering.

Chen Cheng still mainly used the list drawn up previously, plus some other well-known actors.

After half a month, the Cold War audition officially came to an end.

……

"Director Chen, I thought you weren't coming back."

"Oh, you're back now."

After the audition for Hong Kong Cold War was over, Chen Cheng returned to the mainland.

Today is the last day of the release period of Lost on Journey 2.

Simultaneously.

Today is also the celebration party for Lost on Journey 2.

The competition between Lost on Journey 2 and Transformers 3 was decided half a month ago.

Transformers 3 also ended its theatrical release the day before, with total box office revenue exceeding 10 billion.

The box office of Lost on Journey 2 is currently 12.9 billion.

"Director Chen, congratulations on breaking a new domestic box office record."

"Thank you."

"Should we give out red envelopes to everyone today?"

"Send it to everyone, including, of course, your journalist friends."

"Then we want a big red envelope."

"A big red envelope is fine, but that depends on how you guys help me blow it up." "Hahaha..."

The celebration party hasn't started yet.

But at this time, all the reporters and many crew members of Lost on Journey 2 were ready.

Everyone stared at the real-time box office.

Some people refresh the data from time to time.

"12.9 billion, and another 1000 million will bring it to 13 billion. Isn't that terrifying?"

"It's more than terrifying. I didn't even dare to think about it before."

"Me too."

The last day of Lost on Journey 2.

A group of people in the circle, including some fans and friends.

They are also keeping an eye on the box office of Lost on Journey 2.

This issue has already become a hot topic on various major Internet sites.

"Our domestic films are finally rising."

"Yeah, we may not lose in a competition with Hollywood blockbusters."

"Hahaha, cool... From now on, I will go to see any of Chen Cheng's movies, even if they are shit."

"Forget it. If it turns out to be shit, you definitely won't watch it. But Chen Cheng may really be on par with Zhang Yimou."

"I think he is even better than Zhang Yi. After all, Zhang Yi's achievements in Hollywood and in China are not as good as Chen Cheng's. Moreover, Zhang Yi has been on a downward slope in recent years."

"In fact, Zhang Yi is not on the decline. His behavior is normal. It's just that Chen Cheng is too evil."

That day at 0pm.

Lost on Journey 2 is officially removed from the shelves.

Simultaneously.

His box office broke 13 billion.

……

"Director Chen, our Lost on Journey has surpassed 13 billion."

Wu Jingyuan and Zhang Lu shouted loudly.

Apart from Chen Cheng, the people who care most about the box office of Lost on Journey 2 are Wu Jingyuan and Zhang Lu.

In fact.

Wu Jingyuan and Zhang Lu are the directors of Lost on Journey 2.

Although everyone knows it.

Lost on Journey is the work of Chen Cheng.

However, directors Wu Jingyuan and Zhang Lu also received huge attention at this time.

At least.

Wu Jingyuan and Zhang Lu can be labeled as the directors with the highest domestic box office record.

As for Chen Cheng.

To his current position.

It doesn’t matter whether it is marked or not.

He is not a director.

He didn't do much filming of this movie.

Anyway.

As long as the words "Chen Cheng's work" are written on the film, it will be enough.

"Here, cheers."

"Everyone has worked hard. The success of Lost on Journey 2... everyone has a role to play."

"Today we won't go home until we are drunk."

Holding the cup high.

Although Chen Cheng had anticipated this.

But when Lost on Journey 2 really broke the 13 billion box office, Chen Cheng was also extremely excited.

……

"Mr. Chen, Lost on Journey 2 should have made a lot of money this time."

"The split hasn't come out yet, so I don't know."

"Hahaha, we'll help you calculate."

At the celebration banquet.

Although it was already 1 a.m., everyone was still extremely excited and did not leave.

Several reporters took out their cell phones and helped Chen Cheng calculate the profits of the film.

"Lost on Journey 2 cost about 2000 million yuan to produce, and another 2000 million yuan to promote it. Let's be generous and give him 5000 million yuan. With a box office of 13 billion yuan, the profit that went to the producers was 4.29 million yuan. Let's be even more generous and give him 4 million yuan. After deducting the 5000 million yuan cost, the net profit was 3.5 million yuan."

"Uh, pretty much."

"This does not include other profits, such as various copyrights and on-demand services."

"There aren't many on-demand services, and the domestic version is still free, just like before."

"That's great. By the way, Director Chen, when will the filming of Lost on Journey 3 start?"

"I haven't decided yet. Maybe no one is in Lost on Journey 3."

"Ah, no?"

"Correct."

"Why not? The script isn't written yet?"

"That's just one aspect."

Chen Cheng shook his head.

It’s not a problem at all that the script was not well written.

There is no script so I can write it slowly.

With such a big IP, it is possible to shoot not only a trilogy, but also a quaternary or even a quinquelic series.

But Chen Cheng said: "I think the Lost on Journey series should be left as it is. Although there can be a third or even a fourth film... But there are many different comedies in this world. The Lost on Journey series does not need to occupy everyone's attention all the time."

There are 4 films in the Lost on Journey series.

Chen Cheng's favorites are the first two.

As for the last two parts.

Lost in Hong Kong and Lost in Beijing are actually not that good.

Especially Lost in Hong Kong, it was so awful, with all kinds of adult jokes...

Taken together.

Chen Cheng believes that there are only two films in the Lost Journey series.

Although I can still make films and make money after two movies, it doesn’t matter anymore.

If it was before.

Maybe Chen Cheng will take more pictures.

but now.

Chen Cheng felt that there was not much need for it.

I have also shot a series of films myself.

There is no need to occupy the market all the time.

It's good to give everyone, newcomers and other producers some space.

……

The celebration party for Lost on Journey 2 has ended.

Chen Cheng also went to Hong Kong again.

Although Hong Kong is not the mainland.

However, when Chen Cheng returned to the "Cold War" crew, all the producers in the crew had excited eyes.

"Look, Director Chen is back."

"Yeah, I know, what do you want to say?"

"Mr. 13 billion, Director Chen just set a box office record yesterday."

The box office of 13 billion is a heavyweight figure no matter where it is placed.

What's more, this is a single market.

If it were in Hollywood, the box office of 13 billion RMB, close to 2 million US dollars, would be able to rank among the top ten in the North American box office.

More importantly.

For Hong Kong films, 13 billion is simply an astronomical figure.

of course.

Before, this number would have been out of reach for them.

They can only sigh.

But it's different now.

The person who created the 13 billion box office is in their crew.

Just as everyone said.

If only "Cold War" could achieve such box office success...tsk tsk.

Ok.

This may be a bit YY.

Even if it can't create the same box office as Lost on Journey 2, it would be extremely terrifying if it could reach half of his.

"Director Liang, Director Lu, why are you looking at me?"

"No, Director Chen, you really don't plan to shoot the embarrassing series anymore?"

"Correct."

"Oh my god, if you don't want to take the photo, you can just let us take it."

"Pfft..."

Chen Cheng almost spit out water: "Two great directors, why don't you think about anything else? Just shoot our Cold War well. Our Cold War may not be inferior to Lost on Journey 2."

of course.

In terms of box office, Cold War is definitely not as good as the Lost in China series.

no way.

The two films are of different genres.

One is a more popular comedy.

The other is a more traditional police and gangster film.

Even if Cold War was of better quality, had more big names, and was better produced, his box office couldn't compare.

This has nothing to do with the film.

"Okay, how are the preparations going behind the scenes?"

"Director Chen, everything is ready and we can start filming anytime."

"Okay, let's check the almanac and pick a good day, and then we'll start filming."

talking.
