Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 335 [Chen Cheng’s Works] The value of these four words.

After the Wolf Warrior crew finished.

When the CEO of Guangxian learned that Chen Cheng had returned, he called Chen Cheng and said that he would take Chen Cheng to the animation company that he had previously invested in.

Chen Cheng nodded.

So he went with Wang Changtian.

See Chen Cheng coming.

The two producers of "Big Fish and Begonia", "Liang Xuan" and "Zhang Chun", were stunned.

They didn't expect it.

Wang Changtian actually invited Chen Cheng.

At the same time, they secretly sighed that they were lucky that they made the right decision.

If you choose some other investors.

Even though the investment might be larger, it would probably be impossible to invite Chen Cheng over.

"Director Chen Cheng, our production is not good, and we hope you can give us more guidance."

The two were extremely excited.

Then, he explained the story of this anime to Chen Cheng.

"Director Chen, our story originally came from a dream of mine. Later, after many creations, it was no longer the same as my dream. The setting in our story is that all living humans are a huge fish in the sea; when they are born, they start from this side of the sea. Their lives are like crossing the sea, sometimes meeting, sometimes separating. When they die, they reach the shore and go to their own worlds.

Four and a half billion years ago, there was only a vast ocean and a group of ancient giant fish on this planet. In a space parallel to the human world, there lived a well-behaved and orderly group of people who worked for God, managed the laws governing the operation of all things in the world, and also managed the souls of humans. Their sky was connected to the ocean of the human world. They were neither gods nor humans, they were "others"..."

Chen Cheng nodded as he listened.

He liked this story too.

The story is very imaginative and legendary.

The picture is also beautiful.

They are both top students from the Department of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University and have great style.

Seeing that Chen Cheng was very appreciative, Wang Changtian said, "Director Chen, what do you think of this animation?"

"Very good, I think."

"With Director Chen's words, I feel relieved."

Wang Changtian: This is the truth.

He could see that Chen Cheng was not just being perfunctory.

Then he said, "Director Chen, how about you invest some money too?"

Chen Cheng took a look and said, "You can invest, but forget it. You should make more money. Otherwise, when the time comes to share the profits, you guys will say you are working for others."

This made Wang Changtian laugh out loud.

Chen Cheng said this as a joke.

But such jokes further prove the prospects of this animation.

"Director Chen, please don't just say nice things. I invited you to come this time and hope you can give me more advice."

Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun also looked at Chen Cheng with anticipation.

Chen Cheng looked at the finished painting and said, "The painting style is very good. I don't have any suggestions on the technique. As for suggestions, I hope you can add more unique buildings. For example, the Hakka earthen buildings."

"Is it a circular building?"

"Correct."

Chen Cheng said: "There are round and square shapes. Of course, the round shape is more beautiful. At the same time, it is also more fantastic."

The buildings in the original Big Fish and Begonia are mostly Hui-style buildings.

Although Hui style architecture is also quite stylish, it is not that mysterious.

However, the Hakka people's earthen buildings are less known to the outside world.

This round earthen building is not only beautiful and elegant in appearance, but also has a mysterious atmosphere.

When it comes to animation, it’s even more stunningly beautiful.

In the previous life, when "Big Fish and Begonia" was released, the Hakka Tulou shocked the world in an instant.

"Great, I think this is a very good idea."

It was just a thought in Liang Xuan's mind.

He hasn't even drawn it on paper, but he has already imagined the scene in his mind.

"Thank you, Director Chen Cheng."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You're welcome."

……

noon.

Wang Changtian invited Chen Cheng to dinner.

"Director Chen, as soon as I heard you were back, I invited you here. Don't be angry with me. We are also under a lot of pressure. We have always wanted to create some hits and influential works."

"understand."

Chen Cheng nodded: "Boss Wang, what is our relationship? It's nothing to ask for such a small favor."

Although Guangguang is relatively well-known in the domestic film industry.

But what they are famous for is the distribution business.

Although their production business is also very strong, there are no works with great influence.

This is also normal.

Take a look at some of the stars they signed.

The one who is in charge is actually Bao Bei'er...

That's the fighting power.

Huayi, which has a bad reputation, can shine several blocks away.

In the previous few years.

Sometimes Chen Cheng would bring Guangguang and his friends to play, and would also let them invest.

But now that Chen Cheng's status is there, Wang Changtian and others no longer feel comfortable taking advantage of Chen Cheng.

But without Chen Cheng, there would be no hit products from Guangxian.

Until Chen Cheng's "The Return of the Great Sage" appeared.

Wang Changtian keenly felt that animation would be a huge market in the future.

If they push forward with all their strength.

They will have huge benefits in this market in the future.

This is also the reason why Wang Changxian shamelessly asked Chen Cheng for help.

"By the way, how much light did you cast?"

Chen Cheng asked.

"3000."

Wang Changtian said: "If it's not enough, I'm prepared to add more."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you are very generous."

Wang Changtian was a little embarrassed: "No, no, I just saw your Monkey King: Return. A cartoon has made over 10 billion yuan at the box office. So even if we invest 1 million yuan in it, we will still make a lot of money."

"That's it."

Chen Cheng pretended that the film was going to flop.

This made Wang Changtian a little worried: "Well, Director Chen, how much do you think Big Fish and Begonia can get at the box office?"

"Hahaha, just kidding you."

Chen Cheng said: "One billion is unlikely, but five or six hundred million should be possible."

"Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Touching his chest, Wang Changtian said, "Do you think I'm only thinking about your 10 billion box office? For a monster like you, everyone will just look at your data. Who would want to compete with you? If anyone compares with you, they will vomit blood. Let alone million or million, even if it's or million, I'll be satisfied."

This is the truth.

Anime movies have just begun.

If we can open up this market, the future potential will be huge.

There is no need to expect a movie to have a big box office.

Say.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has pointed out the direction for Wang Changtian and others.

Just follow this path.

Even if the box office revenue cannot reach 10 billion for the time being, it may be achieved in the future.

"Not bad."

Chen Cheng toasted Wang Changtian with a glass of wine.

Wang Changtian is a man with good vision.

Take the previous life for example.

He invested in Maoyan Movies.

It is precisely because of this cat's eye that Guangguang has a pivotal position in the domestic film industry.

Also.

They later also invested in a series of animated films.

Like Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World, Jiang Ziya... and so on.

Can you believe it.

The box office of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" is over 50 billion?

It is because you planted trees before that you can get rich rewards later.

……

The domestic film market continued to grow substantially in 2012.

Seeing that the market is so good.

In just a few months, more than 40 films were released in the domestic market.

Although many movies still haven’t made over 100 million at the box office.

But the number of movies that gross over 100 million yuan is gradually increasing.

At the same time, there are some with 2 million, 3 million, and even 4 million.

However, there are also some films that flopped at the box office.

For example, "The Detective".

This film was invested by Guangguang.

This movie was just taken off the shelves yesterday, with a box office of 2.8 million.

For others, such a number may not be considered a failure, and there may even be profit to be made.

But for Light, there is nothing to gain.

If they hadn't released it, we might have lost money.

As for the reason.

That is because there is a superstar in this movie, Jet Li.

Correct.

Jet Li starred in this movie "The Mummy".

This made Chen Cheng understand more clearly why Guangxian wanted to invest in animation.

So much money has been spent, even Jet Li has been invited, but they still can’t produce a hit.

What can he do?
Very helpless. The former superstar also had to face such a situation.

Chen Cheng was also very emotional.

But he thought it was normal.

This is how the world is.

If the world is always controlled by those superstars, then does anyone else have a chance?

If the domestic market is dominated by a few Hong Kong bigwigs every day, how can domestic films rise?

but.

Facing such a good market.

Chen Cheng also has two films he invested in that will be released soon.

One is "Beijing Meets Seattle".

The other is "So Young That Will Soon Pass Away".

Beijing Meets Seattle is the work of Chen Cheng’s senior sister “Xue Xiaolu”.

She graduated from the Department of Literature of Beijing Film Academy.

Different from some other literary people.

Since I am in the Department of Literature at Beijing Film Academy, I am naturally dealing with movies.

This time she is the director and also the screenwriter.

In her early years, she wrote a masterpiece called "Don't Talk to Strangers".

Correct.

It’s the one where Mr. Feng Yuanzheng plays the role of An Jiahe.

It is also the movie that left a trauma in the childhood of many people.

However, although "Xue Xiaolu" has a relatively strong record as a screenwriter, she is still a newcomer in directing.

But behind this newcomer is Chen Cheng.

That's completely different.

Very good performance.

"Beijing Meets Seattle" is a low-budget production.

Although its first day box office was not very good.

But it wins because of its exciting plot and good reputation.

This also keeps the popularity of the film high. Even on weekends, the film still has a good attendance rate.

Industry insiders predict that the box office of this film will be around 7 million.

Next is another film, "So Young That Will Soon Pass Away".

It is also a low-budget production.

It's also a love drama.

It's also not very famous.

Of course, it is also produced by Chen Cheng.

But the plot of this drama is more pleasing than the previous one.

He is a bit like a youth campus drama.

About youth campus.

Chen Cheng had demonstrated the popularity of this subject through "Those Years" many years ago.

Even if many years have passed.

This kind of youth campus is still effective.

Ok.

Anyway, Chen Cheng has almost forgotten what the play is about.

Chen Cheng also knew it.

Those who have watched this drama will forget it in the future.

But no matter whether you forget or not.

The box office of this film exceeded 10 billion after it was finalized.

……

"Haha, Chen Cheng's level is getting lower and lower. Look, the two films he made, one made 7 million, and the other made 10 billion."

"Compared to the previous 17 billion, it's a far cry."

"Yes, yes, Chen Cheng has run out of ideas."

"Okay, I admit, I'm jealous."

Ok.

What I said above is all sarcasm.

Although many people complained about it online, they also copied and posted these words.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Whether it is "Beijing Meets Seattle" or "So Young", Chen Cheng probably did not participate much.

He just put up the name of a producer.

In other words, he just invested.

If it is a work that Chen Cheng really values.

It’s just the four words [Chen Cheng’s work].

But even so.

Even without the words "Chen Cheng's Works", Chen Cheng's vision is still top-notch.

Just like these two.

One is 7 million and the other is 10 billion.

Such box office revenue is naturally incomparable to Chen Cheng's.

But with such box office results, all the top directors in the country have been trampled underfoot.

"I want to see Chen Cheng's next film."

"You're talking about 'My Fathers and Me'."

"Correct."

"But it seems that Chen Cheng is only the producer of this film. He did not participate in the directing or production."

“But this one has four words.”

"What four words?"

“Works by Chen Cheng.”

"Okay, let me ask you, when will "My Fathers and I" be released?"

By this time.

Chen Cheng is already the top brand in domestic films.

To put it bluntly.

Even Zhang Yimou + Chen Kai + Feng Xiaogang + a series of big directors cannot compare to this brand.

More importantly.

Chen Cheng is more than just a brand.

The Chen Cheng brand has been divided into a series of sub-brands.

If a celebrity is just a name, then the brand of Chen Cheng is the lowest level brand.

If Chen Cheng is not only a producer but also a producer, the value will be even higher.

But no matter how high these are.

None of them is as good as hanging the four words "Chen Cheng's Works".

It can be said.

Any film with the words "Chen Cheng's work" in its name is a nuclear weapon in the domestic film market.

Once released, the scene...tsk tsk.

……

"Chen Cheng, when will your film "My Fathers and I" be released?"

"Not ready yet."

"I'm going to, I haven't decided yet, I don't know how many days it has been since the filming was finished."

"Please hurry up and release this movie. I am really looking forward to it."

do not know when.

"My Fathers and Me", which had not been much news since the filming ended, has become popular again.

Even though he hasn't appeared yet.

On the Internet, countless people have already begun urging this film to be released as soon as possible.

Not just online.

In reality, Chen Cheng also received a series of calls.

For example, the phone call just now.

That was the call from President Huang Jianxin.

Chen Cheng said a few polite words and hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Han Sanping called Chen Cheng again later.

The call was the same as the one from Huang Jianxin, urging Chen Cheng to release the film as soon as possible.

Chen Cheng also politely hung up the phone.

He knows the impact of his film.

If his film is released, a lot of films will probably be withdrawn.

So Chen Cheng made plans later and prepared to put it in a less popular schedule.

Although this will affect some box office.

But it’s also good for the market as a whole.

May Day is coming in a few days.

This is a hot season.

Chen Cheng just thought so, but he couldn't resist so many people urging him.

of course.

It’s okay for others to urge you.

Chen Cheng didn't care about them either.

But Chen Cheng didn't expect it either.

After they urged, their parents who were thousands of miles away actually called and asked about "My Fathers and Me".

no way.

My parents didn’t know where they got the news.

But as a son, Chen Cheng had to do everything he could to make his parents happy.

"Dad, Mom... since you want to watch it, then... this movie will be released in a week."

Chen Cheng replied to his parents.
