Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 315 "King Liu" has become box office poison.

Chapter 315 "King Liu" has become box office poison.

Originally, the three girls were so handsome after being groomed by Chen Cheng that they looked a little bit unbearable.

This time.

She even put on makeup and dressed like Professor Du in the script.

this moment.

Chen Cheng's appearance has simply reached the sky-high level.

"Oh my god, is this Chen Cheng?"

"Oh my god, Chen Cheng is so handsome."

"It's so handsome that it blinded my eyes."

"Well, even if this drama is shit, I will definitely follow it just for the looks."

TV shows are not like movies.

If the movie is not well made.

No matter how handsome an actor is, not many people support him.

But TV series are free.

There are countless people who, even though they know that these are stupid dramas, still enjoy watching them.

Some people don't even care about the plot and just look at the looks of the male and female protagonists.

You say they are superficial.

Ok.

So be superficial.

"Um, why didn't I know Chen Cheng was so handsome before?"

"In fact, Chen Cheng has always been handsome, but he was low-key before and didn't show off his looks."

"Yes, Chen Cheng has always been unkempt and has always been behind the scenes, so he doesn't need good looks."

A number of fans and people in the industry also expressed their admiration.

of course.

It's not just the domestic side.

On the cold country side.

Originally, they heard that "My Love from the Star" had chosen a Chinese actor, and they had some resistance.

but.

After the media exposed Chen Cheng’s final makeup photos.

A group of Han country netizens suddenly changed their sides.

"Oppa, I take back what I said before."

"I always thought that our Great Han Country was rich in handsome men, but now I see that I really don't know which actor in our country can compare with him in terms of looks."

"I think appearance is secondary. We are not without those who have amazing looks. But Chen Cheng's makeup photos reflect not only his appearance, but also his temperament and charm."

"Yes, with this kind of temperament, which male actor in our country can compare with him? With this kind of charm, he would be top-notch even in Hollywood."

Everything is so logical.

As soon as Chen Cheng’s makeup photo came out, "My Love from the Star" officially entered the filming stage.

But it’s different from the previous life.

In its previous life, "My Love from the Star" was a weekly drama.

Or it can be called filming and broadcasting a drama at the same time.

This mode will not complete the entire series at once.

Sometimes the script for the entire series is not even finished.

Generally speaking, most of the time they would shoot one or two episodes first and put them on TV to test the waters.

If the response is good.

Then continue shooting the next episode.

But Chen Cheng doesn't have time to wait for a week.

When it comes to "My Love from the Star", Chen Cheng has a vision that surpasses everyone else.

He doesn't even need to look at the market, he can just tell everyone the answer.

He wants this work to be a hit.

Not only fire.

He's going to be hot.

……

In the following time, Chen Cheng, as the leading male role, was busy filming in two places.

Although Chen Cheng mostly worked behind the scenes before.

But for acting.

Chen Cheng is as professional as can be.

we can even say.

Chen Cheng thinks.

In all the years he has been here.

He believes that among all the jobs in the circle, acting is the simplest.

Not to mention, acting in works like idol dramas.

Although "My Love from the Star" created unprecedented ratings in its previous life, Chen Cheng still classified it as an idol drama.

For idol dramas, Chen Cheng only needs to show his charm from time to time.

So the progress of "My Love from the Star" is very fast.

Chen Cheng finished filming the 20-episode script in just 10 days.

But the final outcome.

Chen Cheng modified it a bit.

Chen Cheng felt that although the ending of the big comedy was enjoyable to watch, it was not that impressive.

Anyway, there is no plan to shoot a second part of "My Love from the Star".

Chen Cheng plans to do whatever he wants.

Originally, the male protagonist Do Min Joon was going to return to his original planet.

But in the end he couldn't let go of the heroine, so he came back.

But after coming back.

Because the male protagonist does not belong to this planet, his superpowers will gradually disappear and he will become an ordinary person.

This is only second.

The most important thing is.

Because the male protagonist lives from the Song Dynasty to the modern era.

In just a few days, Do Min Joon showed the five signs of aging and his end was nigh.

The heroine couldn't bear to see the hero sacrifice himself for her, so she used the method taught by Do Min Joon at that time through her brother to establish a connection with the planet.

But the humans on that planet said.

If Do Min Joon is to be resurrected, everyone on earth must forget the existence of such a person.

To save Do Min Joon.

Female No. 1 erased her own memory.

The memories of other people on Earth who had contact with Do Min Joon were also completely erased.

just.

Although the memory is erased.

But every time a shooting star passed by, the heroine Cheon Song Yi couldn't help but feel her heart stirred.

As she looked up at the stars.

There is a star in the celestial sky, and Do Min Joon is also staring at the earth.

This is the new version of the ending.

"Director Chen, this ending is too cruel."

After director Wu Jingyuan finished shooting the last shot, he said to Chen Cheng at the wrap party.

Chen Cheng shrugged and said, "Isn't this the best ending? Otherwise, super powers would appear on Earth and what would become of Earth? The love between Do Min Joon and Cheon Song Yi should just be regarded as a romantic dream."

"Director Chen, you are still the best."

Wu Jingyuan gave a thumbs up.

……

"Chen Cheng, if you are free, I will treat you to a meal."

"My Love from the Star" was completed in just 10 days.

Theoretically speaking.

He will be available to the public soon.

However, Chen Cheng postponed the release date to next year.

The main reason is that there are several good TV series in China this year.

Among them, "Swordsman" starring Yuan Shanshan and "Swords of Legends" starring Yang Mi performed better.

If "My Love from the Star" was released at this time.

With the influence of this drama.

Then there are not many performances of "Swordsman" and "Ancient Swordsman".

Even when people recall.

People just remember.

In 2011, there was only one best TV series.

That's "My Love from the Star".

As for the rest.

Excuse me.

Not to mention.

After resting for a few days, Han Sanping called Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng agreed immediately.

Although Chen Cheng was instructed by Han Sanping in his early years.

But in recent years.

As Chen Cheng's status continued to rise, Chen Cheng and Han Sanping became like brothers.

Whether he was free or not, Han Sanping would always ask Chen Cheng to come out for a drink.

If he has time, Chen Cheng will not refuse.

This time too.

just.

After Chen Cheng met Han Sanping this time, Han Sanping said, "Chen Cheng, there will be someone later."

Chen Cheng was not surprised and said, "Who is it? It can't be the president."

"Hahaha, Old Huang called him several times, but he said he was busy. It's not him. An old acquaintance of yours, Liu Dehua."

Han Sanping reported Liu Dehua's name.

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: "Liu Dehua?"

Seeing that Chen Cheng didn't quite understand, Han Sanping said, "Have you watched any movies recently?" "Well, I was filming recently, so I didn't watch much. What's wrong?"

"Liu Dehua has a movie coming out."

"Oh."

Chen Cheng checked it out.

It really is.

Recently, Liu Dehua released a movie.

The movie is called "A Simple Life".

The plot is about the male protagonist played by Liu Dehua who has an old servant who has worked in his home for more than ten years.

Everyone calls her Tao Jie.

She raised Liu Dehua to adulthood.

But Liu Dehua is 50 years old and still single.

One day, Tao Jie bought groceries and cooked as usual, waiting for Liu Dehua to come home.

I didn't want to wait for her to wake up and find herself in the hospital.

Although Tao Jie was Liu Dehua's maid.

But it's been decades.

Liu Dehua has long regarded Tao Jie as his own relative.

To take care of Tao Jie for the rest of her life.

Liu Dehua began to try to take care of Tao Jie just like Tao Jie.

how to say.

The story was ok.

It's also very sensational.

Everyone who has seen it applauded.

At the same time, Liu Dehua also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor again in his previous life with this film.

But a pity.

Just because everyone thinks a movie is good doesn’t necessarily mean it will do well at the box office.

In Xiangjiang.

The box office of A Simple Life was only over 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is nothing.

Anyway, the Hong Kong market is like that.

The Hong Kong filmmakers have never thought of relying solely on the Hong Kong market to support themselves.

Except Hong Kong.

The most important market is the mainland.

Look at how the box office has increased in mainland China in recent years.

Chen Cheng's film had a box office of 17 billion. Can you believe it?
pity.

Others have 17 billion.

But some people can't even reach 1 million.

Even if he is a superstar.

Even if he has a famous director.

finally.

"A Simple Life", directed by renowned director Ann Hui and superstar Andy Lau, was a complete flop in the mainland market.

Ten days after its release, The Tao Jie has only grossed NT$10 million.

Industry experts predict.

According to this trend, the final box office of Tao Jie may be around 7000 million, or even lower.

"Director Han, you at China Film Group like Liu Dehua so much that you have invested in another film by Liu Dehua."

Chen Cheng smiled and said.

Han Sanping was a little embarrassed: "Liu Dehua is one of the few superstars in Hong Kong. It's normal to vote for him. Moreover, he has a positive outlook and works so hard. Who else should we vote for?"

"It's normal, but the box office is..."

Chen Cheng didn't say anything else.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand what Han Sanping meant: "Director Han, you are not asking me to advertise this movie, are you?"

Han Sanping shook his head and said, "Forget it. You are such a big shot now that ordinary movies wouldn't dare to invite you. Besides, with the current situation of this movie, it's useless to invite you."

"really."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Although Chen Cheng's name is a golden signboard.

But it depends on the situation.

If it was produced by Chen Cheng.

Everyone must give face.

But if Chen Cheng just came out to show support, his fans would understand.

They are not stupid, so how could they not know about the human relationships in the circle?

"What about this time?"

"Can't I talk to you?"

"Okay, but..."

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. A Simple Life was a box office flop, and I don't know what King Lau is thinking. I heard from others that King Lau has been acting nervous and very silent recently. I am worried that this movie may have caused some psychological problems for King Lau."

"clear."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Han Sanping is actually not just talking about the movie A Simple Life.

Before "A Simple Life?"

Several works starring King Liu did not perform well at the box office.

It can be said.

After "Infernal Affairs", King Liu has not had a box office success.

Whether it is "Resurrection of the Dragon", "The Warring States", "The Disciples", or "Future Police".

Of course, other films that performed well at the box office include "The Warlords" and "Shaolin Temple".

But in The Warlords, Liu Dehua is the second male lead.

Although Liu Dehua is the No. 1 male actor in "New Shaolin Temple".

However, many people attributed most of the box office success of this film to Chen Cheng.

Just like Tao Jie after another failure.

However, the media once again labeled Andy Lau a box office poison.

……

The two chatted for half an hour.

The king of pop Andy Lau appears.

Just like what Han Sanping said before.

Liu Dehua doesn't look very good.

His eyes were a little red and swollen.

Chen Cheng asked.

Liu Dehua said that he did not sleep all night last night.

Chen Cheng poured a cup of tea for Liu Dehua: "Hua Zai, don't be too stressed, you have always been my idol."

This is real.

Although some of Liu Dehua's films in recent years have not performed well at the box office.

But Chen Cheng had a very good impression of Liu Dehua.

At least.

There are many celebrity actors in Hong Kong, but Chen Cheng is not interested in them.

But Chen Cheng liked Liu Dehua.

"I don't want to be under a lot of pressure, but you know, with my fame and status, the movies I can make are a mess."

Liu Dehua took a sip of tea and smiled helplessly.

Chen Cheng said: "What does the box office have to do with actors? If the box office is not good, the first thing to blame is the director. If the director is not to blame, it is the producer's fault. Then the producer can be blamed. How can it be related to the actors? To combine the box office and the actors is just being a hooligan."

Chen Cheng comforted Liu Dehua.

Han Sanping also echoed, "Yes, Chen Cheng is right, what does the box office have to do with the actors?"

This is of course half and half.

The box office has nothing to do with the actors.

But if every movie you make fails, who would dare to hire you?

It's only Liu Dehua.

Even though so many of his films have failed, he still has a lot of film offers.

of course.

Liu Dehua knew this matter better than the other two.

Therefore, the words of Chen Cheng and Han Sanping did not have much effect.

Chen Cheng saw it clearly in his mind.

This is actually not just Liu Dehua’s problem.

This has been a problem facing all filmmakers in Hong Kong for some time.

It's not just Liu Dehua's films that failed during this period.

Other directors, other actors... the same goes.

Cheng Xi, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Leung Chiu-wai... they have to pounce when they should.

As for the reason.

I have analyzed too much before.

Take some of the films shot by Liu Dehua as an example, they are too out of touch with reality.

Such as Tao Jie, Disciple, Future Police... and so on.

The plots of these movies are actually pretty good.

But why is the box office so poor?
That is, these films have nothing to do with the general public.

For example, in his previous life, Liu Dehua also played roles in Gold Finger, Mr. Red Carpet, etc.

The plots of these films are also very good.

but.

These films still have nothing to do with ordinary people.

He seems aloof, out of touch with reality, and unable to understand the emotions of the mainland people.

Failure has become a habit.

I thought about it.

Chen Cheng said, "Hua Zai, how about you live in the mainland for a while?"
