Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 348: The future Hollywood will tell Chinese stories.

For the script of "Transformers", Chen Cheng first started with a setting and then made an outline.

But writing a movie script is not an easy task.

Although Chen Cheng has some ideas about "Transformers".

But he has to consider many factors while writing the script.

For example, shooting this piece.

After all, a movie script is not a novel.

In addition to telling a good Transformers story, this script also had to bring in the visuals.

Especially the visual sense.

The sense of picture is very important in the film.

Sometimes there are many ordinary stories, but it is because of the visual effects that the film becomes a big hit.

The most important thing about Avatar is actually the picture.

Since Transformers are in the picture, Chen Cheng naturally cannot leave them out.

to this end.

Chen Cheng was still considering it.

When filming in the future, we plan to set many scenes in China.

China's beautiful land is much more amazing than that of other countries.

In the movie "Transformers", Chen Cheng plans to use domestic scenery to shock movie fans around the world.

……

I'm halfway through writing Transformers 4.

Chen Cheng received a call from Wang Jing, saying that his movie "The Man from Macau" was about to be released and he wanted Chen Cheng to attend their premiere.

Chen Cheng nodded.

Although Chen Cheng has always believed that the decline of Hong Kong films is very obvious.

But Hong Kong films are still considered domestic.

In addition, Chen Cheng is also the vice president of the Directors Association, and he has to unite a group of Hong Kong directors.

In addition, Hong Kong films have indeed declined, but Hong Kong has a series of top directors and film producers.

These talents still play a very important role in prospering the domestic film industry.

The next day, Chen Cheng came to the premiere of "The Man from Macau".

This time, the premiere of "The Man from Macau" was held at Wanda Plaza.

At this time, Wanda Plaza has been upgraded to the second generation Wanda Plaza.

This square covers almost all the public's needs for eating, drinking, living, traveling, and playing... As long as you are in the square, you don't have to go out for anything.

The Wanda Cinema in Wanda Plaza is also one of the largest cinemas in the country.

The largest hall can accommodate 400 people at a time.

But even so.

Wanda Cinema was also packed that day.

Seeing Chen Cheng coming, Wang Jing excitedly stepped forward and said, "Chen Cheng, the mainland audience is so enthusiastic."

"It's okay, it's okay, I will be more enthusiastic next time."

"Yes, I now find that the domestic film market is really changing with each passing day. There are new changes almost every month, or even every day."

"It seems that Brother Jing is going to fully embrace the mainland."

"Of course, if we don't embrace the mainland, we should embrace Hong Kong. Even if the box office in Hong Kong is high, it's only about 10 or 20 million. But if it's put in the mainland, it's 30 times, times, times the box office in Hong Kong..."

"high."

Chen Cheng gave Wang Jing a thumbs up.

In the Hong Kong director circle.

Wang Jing is a person who must be mentioned.

Although he did make a lot of bad movies, he also made a lot of great movies.

At the same time, many Hong Kong directors gradually failed to keep up with the market, and some even withdrew.

But Wang Jing is still in the forefront, and he still produces works that surprise you from time to time.

Such as this "The Man from Macau".

Ok.

Chen Cheng thinks that the "Macao Fengyun" series is also a series of bad movies.

But a bad movie doesn’t mean it won’t make money.

Wang Jing has always regarded movies as a business.

for him.

No matter how great a movie is or how good its reputation is, if it doesn't make money, there's a problem.

on the contrary.

No matter how badly a movie is made or how bad its reputation is, as long as it makes money, it is a good movie.

Just thinking about it.

At this time, Wang Jing said, "Chen Cheng, how much do you think our movie "The Man from Macau" can earn at the box office?"

"How would I know."

"Chen Cheng, you are the god of prediction in our circle."

"Hahaha."

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed by Wang Jing's praise

"Cough cough..."

"Then I'll make a prediction."

He is called the God of Prediction.

Without prediction, how can you show your miracles?

"Um, Brother Jing, how much was the investment in The Man from Macau?"

"3."

"..."

Three black lines appeared on Chen Cheng's forehead: "Do you want to play again in the future?"

"Okay, fine, only 2 million."

Chen Cheng continued to stare at Wang Jing.

Finally, Wang Jing raised his hands in surrender: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you. It's claimed to be 2 million, but in fact it's only 1 million."

"1 million, you've made a fortune."

"Really? Really?"

"of course."

Chen Cheng nodded: "I think the box office of "The Man from Macau" is at least 5 million."

Ok.

Although "The Man from Macau" is bad, it really makes money.

This is not the only movie that makes money.

The subsequent "From Vegas to Macau 2" and "From Vegas to Macau 3" both made a lot of money.

Even because these films are very profitable.

The lead actor Zhou Renfa even took the producer to court, claiming that he was not given any dividends.

"5 million. I'm going to make a fortune."

Wang Jing was very excited.

5 million is nothing to Chen Cheng.

But for others, it is also an impressive box office number.

Assuming the investment is only 1 million.

The producers will have to make 6500 million from the box office alone.

Combined with some other copyright income, it would be no problem to make 1 million.

Invest 1 million and then make 1 million, this is a very high-profit business.

"Come on, let's go into the hall."

He brought Chen Cheng, Wang Jing and other producers into the cinema screening room.

The result was surprising.

When Chen Cheng walked out of the cinema.

Looking at the box office of "The Man from Macau" which has reached 5000 million, he said: "Brother Jing, it seems that my prediction just now was too low. I estimate that the box office of "The Man from Macau" will reach 7 million."

This way the box office is obviously 200 million higher than the previous life.

As for the reason.

Or it is due to the rapid growth of the domestic film industry.

With the continuous appearance of a series of blockbusters by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng constantly stimulated everyone's interest in watching movies.

At the same time, under the influence of Chen Cheng, a number of cinemas sprang up across the country.

In just a few years, countless cinemas sprang up across the country.

Both software and hardware have been greatly improved.

Naturally, the movie box office also rose.

Of course there is another reason.

That’s because the name “The Man from Macau” and the actors are well chosen.

When others watch "The Man from Macau", they feel that it is a gambling movie.

Although this film does contain gambling and other content.

Even at the beginning, Wang Jing wanted to name it "Casino Tycoon".

This also immediately defines the audience.

People who like to watch gambling movies will naturally go to the cinema.

Plus there is the gambling god Zhou Renfa.

Many people felt that this was a new God of Gamblers movie as soon as they saw it.

Do you support it?
That must be supported.

……

"Brother Jing, you are still awesome." Chen Cheng still admires Wang Jing very much.

Even though the reputation of "The Man from Macau" is not very good.

But being able to turn a bad movie into such a high box office does require some unique skills.

"Thank you, thank you."

I felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng continued, "Not at all. I took a look and found that there are many highlights in The Man from Macau. Gambling skills, comedy, Zhou Renfa, the beauty Jing Tian, and action scenes... Wow, all kinds of elements are added together."

"Oh my god, Chen Cheng, you have such a sharp eye. You have completely dissected my movie. That's what I thought when I was writing the script. I just wanted to pile a lot of elements together, so that those who like to watch gambling can watch gambling, those who like comedy can watch comedy, those who like to watch beauties can watch beauties, and of course there are Zhang Jin's action scenes..."

"Uh, Brother Jing, are you also the screenwriter of this film?"

"Of course. You don't know that I wrote many of the scripts for the films I starred in."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng was even more convinced.

Recall.

It really is.

Wang Jing is not only a talented director, but also a talented screenwriter.

Many of the films he directed were based on scripts he wrote.

He even wrote many of the films he produced.

Chen Cheng once saw Wang Jing say this in the media.

When he was filming in Hong Kong, he had to shoot three scenes a day.

Shoot one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

After finishing work and going home at 0 o'clock, I still have to write the scripts for three plays for the next day.

Those who don’t know would think this is a joke.

But in fact, this is how Hong Kong movies came about back then.

As you said.

Can a classic be made in this way?

This is too unprofessional.

How do you say this?

That was the heyday of Hong Kong films.

A group of filmmakers seemed to have some luck or something.

No matter what they shoot or write...the works they produce are the pinnacle of this world.

Name: Wang Jing.

Director: 90.

Writing:96.

Photo: 80
Acting: 70
Fine Arts: 70
Charisma: 3
Perception: 5
Look at Wang Jing.

Wang Jing's specific data appeared in the mind system.

When Chen Cheng found out that Wang Jing's writing level was 96, he was shocked.

This level of writing alone is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

No.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Even Chen Cheng can't compare to him.

Chen Cheng looked at his writing attributes.

His writing attribute is only 90 points.

A writing attribute of 90 points is already very high.

Unexpectedly.

There are mountain high mountain.

Here for Wang Jing, the number 96 points appeared.

"With such an amazing writing attribute, why not..."

Touched his chin.

Chen Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Jing, let's talk."

Pulling Wang Jing aside, Chen Cheng asked, "Brother Jing, do you usually write scripts?"

“Too much writing.”

“Have you ever written a science fiction script?”

"Of course I have. The movie Future Police is written by me."

"Future police?"

"It's the one starring Andy Lau, but it was a horrible box office flop."

Wang Jing was a little embarrassed.

"Future Police" was indeed a terrible flop.

In Hong Kong, the box office of "Future Police" was only 400 million.

In the mainland, there are only more than 2000 million.

But who is Wang Jing?

"Future Police" is not the only bad movie he has made.

After a while, Wang Jing looked normal again: "Also, in 86, I wrote a science fiction film, "Yuan Zhenxia and Wei Sili", which had a decent box office, with a box office of over 1000 million at the time. Actually, I am a screenwriter by profession. It's a pity that the funding for science fiction production here is too low. If it were higher, I think I could have made a better work."

"Really?"

"Of course. Who am I... Let's talk about your Transformers. If I were the screenwriter, I would do this, and then that..."

He said a lot in front of Chen Cheng, leaving Chen Cheng dumbfounded.

Finally, looking at Chen Cheng who looked confused, Wang Jing smiled and said, "Of course, some of it is just bragging, so don't take it seriously."

However, Chen Cheng, who had had this idea before, was extremely excited at this time.

As expected, he is someone with a writing level of 96 points.

Originally, Chen Cheng wanted to write the script himself.

but now.

There is a better candidate.

"I take it seriously."

Chen Cheng looked at Wang Jing seriously and said, "Brother Jing, I formally invite you to be the screenwriter of Transformers 4."

……

However, although……

When Chen Cheng asked Wang Jing to be the screenwriter, Wang Jing did think it was a joke for a while.

but.

Only after Chen Cheng formally sent the script writing agreement to Wang Jing did Wang Jing realize that Chen Cheng was serious.

A change from the previous joke.

Wang Jing also had a serious look on his face.

he knows.

This was an opportunity given to him by Chen Cheng.

This is also the biggest opportunity I have ever had since I started my career.

If only he could seize this opportunity.

Then.

With "Transformers", he can enter Hollywood and completely enter the global market.

"Chen Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely give you a perfect script."

Assure Chen Cheng.

After the premiere of "The Man from Macau" that day, Wong Jing announced that he would go into seclusion.

Even though the box office of "The Man from Macau" was good, the producers urged Wong Jing to hold several city roadshows, but Wong Jing refused.

The outside world was also curious as to why Wang Jing suddenly went into seclusion.

until.

When someone breaks out.

After Wang Jing received the commission from Chen Cheng to write the script for "Transformers".

The entire circle was completely shocked.

"Holy crap, Wong Jing is the screenwriter of Transformers."

"What a big deal. I never thought that Chen Cheng would hand over the scriptwriting to Wang Jing."

"I didn't expect this either, although I have always known that Wang Jing is a screenwriter by profession and has written countless scripts. He is a talented screenwriter."

"This is not the most important thing. What is the most important thing, brothers, do you know?"

"I don't know, you say?"

"This is Chen Cheng's real intention to lead our domestic filmmakers to the world."

Ok.

Chen Cheng had led many people in Hollywood before.

There are actors.

There are directors too.

There are also behind-the-scenes producers, such as art director Huo Tingxiao, some action directors, and so on.

But in fact there is a core point that Chen Cheng has not yet achieved.

That's the screenwriter in the film industry.

Although domestic screenwriters do not have a high status in the circle.

But everyone knows.
