Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 306 This is a massacre from Chen Cheng.

No surprises.

The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" exceeded 100 million on the first day of its release.

When such a box office record is announced.

The entire Chinese film industry.

No.

The entire domestic media was shocked.

"1 million box office in one day, damn."

"My eyes are clear."

"No flowers."

Many people were a little skeptical at first.

after all.

In their impression.

There are countless films in China whose box office revenue cannot even reach 100 million yuan in just one month of release.

Many times when we hear that a movie has grossed over 100 million yuan, we have to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

But now.

This world is just so outrageous.

When you can't reach 30 million in 1 days, others can reach million in day.

"Don't doubt it, The Troubles of Charlotte is such a phenomenal drama."

"Hurry up and study it. Who knows, you might be the next one to break the record."

Inside the circle.

Countless media reporters and practitioners have been frantically studying Charlotte's troubles.

for them.

The box office exceeded 100 million on the first day.

Then.

The total box office just broke the previous record of "Lost on Journey 2".

What's even more terrifying is.

The production cost of "Charlotte's Troubles" was only about 2000 million.

Although the total box office has not been released yet.

But it has been predicted.

In the future, the producer’s share of the box office revenue will reach more than 5 million.

"Who has no regrets in life? Who has no shortcomings in life? Rebirth is the best theme to make up for regrets. Although Charlotte's Troubles is just a dream in the end, not a real rebirth. However, for more than 90 minutes before this, we treated it as a work about rebirth. Moreover, everything the hero did after his rebirth touched the hearts of every audience member."

"I think the success of "Charlotte's Troubles" is rebirth + comedy. Obviously, this kind of comedy has surpassed any previous domestic comedy. Even, including Stephen Chow's. Of course, I am not saying that Stephen Chow's comedies are not funny. Stephen Chow's comedies are still classics today. However, each era has its own life atmosphere. "Charlotte's Troubles" is the strongest comedy work of the current era, no doubt about it."

"Let me tell you. I think the biggest success of "Charlotte's Troubles" comes from the counterattack of a loser. Charlotte was originally just a loser, with no money and no career. But like many successful people, Charlotte wanted to marry a beautiful, rich woman and reach the pinnacle of life. Unexpectedly, a dream made Charlotte successfully realize it. This is also the same in reality. Charlotte represents countless ordinary people who watch movies. Their lives may be the same as Charlotte's. They also want to be rich and famous, but it is impossible. "Charlotte's Troubles" provides everyone with such a YY life. With such a plot and such a brain hole...it's hard for him not to be popular."

Charlotte may have 1 reasons for being so popular.

As to whether it became popular for these reasons, it doesn’t matter.

The important thing is.

Charlotte is on fire.

It's so hot.

It couldn’t be more popular.

……

"Director Chen, congratulations, congratulations."

The first person to call Chen Cheng was Wang Jianlin from Wanda.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Boss Wang, we should be happy together."

Wang Jianlin laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, I am happy for you. I am happy for you."

"But I really didn't expect that Charlotte's Troubles could achieve a box office of over 100 million yuan in a single day."

"Mr. Wang, you know this. The domestic film market is rising at an almost crazy speed. Your Wanda Cinemas have opened theaters all over the country. Many people who have never watched a movie before are now walking into the theaters. The first-day box office exceeded 100 million yuan, and this is just the beginning."

"Don't tell me, can we still make 200 million on the first day in the future?"

"Haha, we'll see when the time comes."

Chen Cheng had a chat with Wang Jianlin.

He doesn't care how much Charlotte's Troubles will make at the box office.

Anyway, Wang Jianlin offered 15 billion to buy it out.

Although according to the current situation.

The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" may exceed 15 billion, reaching 16 billion or even 17 billion.

But this is also what Wanda earns.

As for what some people say.

Why did Chen Cheng agree to Wanda’s buyout?

If we continue to split the profits the same way as before, wouldn't it be better and we would make more money?

Actually.

No one can predict the box office.

Chen Cheng didn't dare to guarantee that Charlotte's Troubles would definitely break the record.

What if it doesn’t break?
or.

What if it fails?

Although this is unlikely.

But others have 15 billion to buy out, why not cooperate?
Besides, Chen Cheng knew it better.

Wanda can offer a buyout of 15 billion, and they will provide more resources.

This is also something that Chen Cheng alone cannot achieve.

At the same time, this is also a more stable model.

This will also give other filmmakers more options before their films are released.

As for whether you make a profit or a loss, it is up to you to decide.

……

The second person to call Chen Cheng was Brother Chen Kai.

Brother Chen Kai said with great envy: "Junior brother, your movie is worth ten of ours."

Chen Cheng said, "Brother, please stop teasing me. Times are different now. People's living standards have greatly improved. The current box office of 1 million is equivalent to the 1000 million box office of The Promise."

"Look, you're teasing my senior brother, and you even mentioned Wuji."

"Actually, I think Wuji is pretty good. Recently, many people on the Internet have given good reviews of Wuji."

"I saw it too."

"So, brother, I'm looking forward to your blockbuster."

"What a blockbuster movie, it can't compare to you. Hey... why are you talking about me? I'm here to congratulate you. When can we get together as brothers?"

"Okay, I'll text you when I have time."

"Wait for you, don't stand me up."

"How can it be."

……

The third person to call Chen Cheng was Zhang Yi.

No contact for a while.

When Zhang Yi suddenly saw the media report that "Charlotte's Troubles" had broken the 100 million yuan box office on the first day, he was as shocked as everyone else.

But after being shocked, he also called Chen Cheng.

"Chen Cheng, congratulations, congratulations."

"Director Zhang, you have a very good work and rest schedule. You haven't slept in the middle of the night."

"I wanted to sleep, but I was shocked by the news that your box office exceeded 100 million."

"You and Director Kai are both teasing me."

"Oh, Brother Kai called you too?"

"I just put down the phone."

"That's right...your performance would shock anyone for a while. When will you come to my crew and give me some pointers?"

"Director Zhang, what kind of guidance is that? I can't give you any advice. You asked me to help you, that's better."

"Go away, go away. You are such a great director, who would dare to ask you to help? I'm serious. I'm not very confident about the "The Flowers of War" I recently filmed. Come and take a look."

"Okay, Director Zhang, I'll come to your place in a couple of days."

"Wait for you."

……

After Zhang Yimou.

Han Sanping also called Chen Cheng.

Han Sanping said directly on the phone: "Chen Cheng, I think you should be the general manager of our China Film Group."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Director Han, are you planning this for me or something?"

Han Sanping said, "If you come, I can give you a job. Besides, I will retire in a few years. If you take over my job, you will also make a contribution to the country, don't you think?"

This is of course a joke.

Han Sanping's call, like the previous ones, was to congratulate Chen Cheng.

But neither of them knew.

a few years later.

Such a joke actually came true.

……

Of course, there were also calls from a lot of friends.

There was also a phone call from Wang Song, president of Beijing Film Academy.

no way.

The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" exceeded 100 million on the first day, which was as sensational as a comet hitting the earth.

Almost everyone who had anything to do with Chen Cheng called Chen Cheng as soon as possible.

Some people with whom we have average relationships sent messages to say hello.

Chen Cheng also responded one by one.

A few days later.

Chen Cheng appeared in the crew of "The Flowers of War".

of course.

I'm not here for advice.

Chen Cheng did not say whether he was qualified to give instructions.

Even if I am qualified, it is impossible for me to give instructions.

Whether in terms of qualifications or seniority... Zhang Yi is much higher than Chen Cheng.

Not to mention.

Chen Cheng had previously been promoted by Zhang Yi.

For this reason, Chen Cheng has great respect for Zhang Yi.

He came here this time just to promote Zhang Yimou's film.

After all, my reputation is still good.

Although Chen Cheng did not invest in this film, his presence on the platform still has some influence.

"Chen Cheng, come here, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Weiping, my old partner."

As soon as they arrived at the crew, Zhang Yi introduced Zhang Weiping to Chen Cheng.

Zhang Weiping said excitedly: "Director Chen, nice to meet you. I have always heard Yi mention you before, and today I finally meet you."

Chen Cheng said: "Mr. Zhang is too modest. Everyone knows that there is a top producer behind Director Zhang."

This made Zhang Weiping very excited: "Hahaha, Director Chen, we can still work together if there is a chance."

"of course."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Everyone can say such polite words.

As for whether to cooperate or not, that is another matter.

But Zhang Weiping seems very excited today.

After meeting Chen Cheng, he pulled Chen Cheng aside and talked about how he entered the film industry.

It was fine at first.

Can be heard behind.

However, Chen Cheng could tell that this guy took himself too seriously.

It seems that he thinks that the most important thing in his cooperation with Zhang Yi is him.

It was the investment he got.

He also promoted it.

Finally, Zhang Yi achieved success.

Although it was true at the beginning.

For example, when shooting heroes.

at that time.

Zhang Yimou wanted to make a low-budget film when he filmed Hero.

There aren't many stars in it.

As a result, Zhang Weiping suggested that we should invite Jet Li to come.

As a result, when Jet Li came, the investor invested 2 million yuan.

It is precisely because of this funding.

Later on, a group of big names including Liang Chaowei, Chen Daomin, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi, etc. gathered together.

At the same time, the production funds were increased all the way to 2.6 million yuan.

"There is also Curse of the Golden Flower, and I was the one who brought Jay Chou's wheel."

"Three Shots Surprise, it was me who brought Xiao Shenyang here."

"As you can see, these films all did very well at the box office."

"There are other investors who I found through my connections."

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

More than an hour later.

Zhang Weiping had something to do and left the crew.

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed.

I used to think Zhang Weiping was pretty awesome.

But look at it now.

That's it.

What Jay Chou, what Xiao Shenyang.

These two were really popular at that time.

But their participation directly caused the two films to be criticized again and again by countless people.

"Chen Cheng, Mr. Zhang did help me a lot before."

Zhang Yi looked at Chen Cheng and said with a wry smile.

"Director Zhang, let's talk about your film."

Chen Cheng changed the subject.

Looking at Zhang Yi's expression, Chen Cheng knew.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping are probably not far from breaking up.

In fact, there were reports in the media that there were a lot of unpleasantness between the two.

Zhang Weiping is a high-profile person.

He always emphasizes his influence on these films in the media.

Although Zhang Yimou makes some very good films, he is relatively low-key and rarely accepts interviews.

Zhang Weiping's actions also made Zhang Yi dissatisfied.

Of course, there are also a series of other things involving Zhang Yi and Zhang Weiping.

……

Of course, there is more than just "Charlotte's Troubles" on the market.

One week after Charlotte's Troubles was released.

There are two relatively well-known films that were also released at the same time.

The first one was "The Four", which was invested by Guangxian and directed by Chen Jiashang.

This movie is a martial arts film.

Chen Jiashang has quite a bit of experience in costume dramas.

Just a pity.

Martial arts films have been in decline for a long time.

To succeed.

Innovation is necessary.

For example, Xu Ke's "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is a major innovation.

Although the filming techniques of The Four are better, overall, they are similar to the previous filming methods in Hong Kong.

As for the box office, naturally it wasn’t that good either.

The box office that day was 3000 million.

Neither good nor bad.

The media expected.

The total box office of this film is about 2 million yuan.

This is due to the strong rise of the domestic film market.

otherwise.

Let alone 2 million.

I don’t even know if there are 1 million.

As for whether this film is a loss or not?
Chen Cheng made an estimate.

If it were any other producer, they would probably lose money.

But Guangxian is both the producer and the distributor... Overall, it should not lose money.

The other one is "The Grandmaster".

Ok.

It was "The Grandmaster Ip Man" filmed by Wong Kar-wai several years ago.

Before this film was released, it had a competition with "Ip Man".

to be frank.

The Grandmaster was the first film to feature Ip Man.

But unfortunately, Wong Kar-wai is too slow in making films.

A movie takes three to four years to make, and then "The Grandmaster" is released.

But two "Ip Man" films have already been released, and they are already preparing for Ip Man 3.

not bad.

The reputation of the Grandmaster is very high.

Many movie fans said.

Wong Kar-wai is worthy of being Wong Kar-wai, it takes him ten years to hone his skills.

The Grandmaster is much better than Ip Man.

Ok.

These are just some fans' comments.

The reviews of movie fans do have a certain degree of reference value.

But Chen Cheng looked at the box office.

It only grossed 4000 million on that day, and the final box office is estimated to be around 2.5 million.

What do you think of the box office of 2.5 million?

It's pretty similar.

But there are so many stars in the drama and such a long production time.

Only Wong Kar-wai knows whether it is a profit or a loss.

However, Chen Cheng's prediction is just a prediction.

Sometimes he really can't predict the box office.

In different periods, different environments, different markets...

The box office performance of many films will be completely different.

If there was no Chen Cheng in this "Charlotte's Troubles".

Perhaps the box office of the two films will be as predicted by Chen Cheng and a number of theater chains.

But with "Charlotte's Troubles", it's completely different.

……

What Chen Cheng didn't expect was.

On the first day, the performances of "The Four" and "The Grandmaster" were not very good, but they were also average.

But the next day.

The box office of the two films dropped by 30%.

The next day, the box office of the two films was cut in half.

Day three...

A week later.

The two films barely broke 1 million.

As for the second week.

Don't watch the second week.

The box office didn't increase much in the first week, and it plummeted in the second week.

In fact it is.

at this time.

A number of theater companies revised their box office forecasts for the two films.

The salary of the Four Famous Detectives was increased from around 2 million to 1.1 million.

Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster" was adjusted from 2.5 million to 1.3 million.

Ok.

As the media said.

This was a massacre from Chen Cheng.
