Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 352 "Meigong River Operation" is coming.

The number of followers on Chen Cheng’s personal Weibo account has now exceeded 5000 million.

It can be said.

Chen Cheng is one of the most popular bloggers in China.

Almost every time Chen Cheng posts something on Weibo, it triggers countless discussions in the country.

It even becomes the hottest topic in the country from time to time.

At this time, Chen Cheng posted a sentence: We owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket... It spread to every corner at the speed of fire.

"It seems that Chen Cheng is also a fan of Stephen Chow. Thumbs up."

"Well, I also owe Master Xing a movie ticket, so I must support him."

"I'm ashamed. I didn't want to go to the cinema before, but now I think I must go."

"Of course I did. When I was little, I watched Stephen Chow's movies every day. But I never paid for a movie ticket. I always watched pirated copies. I'm not rich now, but at least a movie ticket can support me."

"Master Xing, come on, no matter what happens, we will always support you."

Master Stephen Chow is a god-like figure in Chinese-language films.

With Chen Cheng's words "We owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket", countless fans also changed their minds.

"That's right, Master Xing is old, but Master Xing has never abandoned us."

"Those who say you won't watch if Stephen Chow doesn't appear on screen, you watched his movies in vain."

"Everyone gets old. Is it really okay to backstab someone like this?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I already bought the ticket."

Under the impact of such topics.

The number of people who have made reservations to watch "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has seen a surge.

Stephen Chow also called Chen Cheng to express his gratitude.

Chen Cheng said, "Master Xing, I am really your fan. If I hadn't watched your movies when I was young, I think we would have had less fun when we were young."

Yes.

Stephen Chow’s movies represent an era.

Stephen Chow’s movies are also the youthful memories of countless people.

Even though Chen Cheng knew.

Stephen Chow's films tend to decline in later years.

But so what?
No one can guarantee that they will always be at their peak.

……

Thursday.

Master Xing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is officially released.

A group of movie fans arrived at the cinema early.

The first group of fans couldn't wait and entered the theater.

"Brothers, the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons has officially begun."

Many friends took photos of the movie tickets in their hands with their mobile phones and posted a message excitedly.

"How's the plot?"

"I don't know. I'm watching it right now. I'll tell you when I'm done."

Turn your phone to silent mode.

Everyone stared at the screen.

The story begins with the exorcist Chen Xuanzang going to the village to exorcise demons.

Just a pity.

This exorcist's skills were not very good and he was considered a liar by the villagers.

Fortunately, at this time, I met another female exorcist, who is the leading female in this film, Miss Duan.

With the help of Miss Duan, the two subdued the fish monster.

Soon after.

The two met again in Gaojiazhuang.

This time he is facing another monster, Zhu Ganglie, who can also be regarded as Zhu Bajie.

It is different from other versions of Zhu Bajie.

In various film and television versions, Zhu Bajie has a pig head and a pig brain and is also very ugly.

But in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Zhu Ganglie is not only ugly, he is also extremely ferocious.

When he first appeared, he really scared some of the young ladies.

Just a pity.

This time the two men failed to subdue the pig demon.

Chen Xuanzang asked his master for help, and his master told him.

To subdue the pig demon, only the monkey named Sun Wukong under the Five Finger Mountain can help.

until.

When Sun Wukong finally appeared.

The entire cinema was in an uproar.

"Oh my god, this version of Journey to the West is so subversive."

"It's fine if Chen Xuanzang doesn't have any magical powers, because he doesn't have any magical powers to begin with, but Zhu Bajie actually looks like this."

"The most incredible thing is Sun Wukong, who is so short and ugly, with a green face and fangs, very scary."

"On the contrary, I feel that this is the most faithful version of Journey to the West to the original novel. In the original novel, whether it is Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong, or Sha Seng, they are all ugly and ferocious. In other words, they are monsters, and monsters look different from humans. It's just that many versions of Journey to the West have portrayed these characters in a more humane way."

"Hahaha, you are indeed worthy of being Master Xing. You gave me a surprise right away. I like this version of Journey to the West."

Seeing the extremely ferocious Sun Wukong appear, many people felt their eyes brighten.

The fighting in this is pretty good too.

Especially the final fight between Mr. Kongxu and Sun Wukong, it was so exciting to watch.

But a pity.

The demon king Sun Wukong is still too powerful.

Whether it is Tiancanjiao, Shi Xingyu, or even Mr. Kongxu, they are no match for Sun Wukong.

till the end.

After Sun Wukong pulled out Chen Xuanzang's hair one by one and killed Miss Duan.

Chen Xuanzang finally had an epiphany.

The "Three Hundred Tang Poems" that he had always kept hidden now became the "Mahavairocana Sutra".

finally.

Chen Xuanzang subdued the demon king Sun Wukong.

At the end of the finale, everyone remembered the words: ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day.

There was a bang.

When the first audience left the cinema.

they know.

This version of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" starring Stephen Chow is absolutely a hit.

……

Chen Cheng went back to Beijing Film Academy.

It is said that a senior from Beijing Film Academy is preparing to make a web drama.

This was also proposed by Chen Cheng before.

It was only after reading the script that Chen Cheng realized that the name of this web drama was actually "Yuzui".

"Brother Zhang Rui, that's great. You're really good at choosing scripts."

After flipping through the book, Chen Cheng was still very optimistic about it.

One reason for being optimistic is that the book is well written.

On the other hand, this is also the positioning of this book.

Yu Zui is actually a police and gangster film, or even an undercover film.

But his film is different from the Hong Kong police and gangster undercover films we are used to seeing.

This is a completely mainland version of a police and gangster undercover film.

When this type of person comes, he will make everyone feel fresh.

And he’s also very down-to-earth, which makes the audience feel represented.

Innately.

With a film like this, he will be loved by the audience.

However, the director was a little confused.

The script has been decided, but we don’t know who will be the No. 1 male lead.

Chen Cheng recommended an actor, Zhang Yishan, to director Zhang Rui.

That's right.

He is Liu Xing from "Home with Kids".

He is a student of the 10th batch of Beijing Film Academy and is currently a junior. He is about the same age as Yu Zui in the book.

Reasons for recommending Zhang Yishan.

On the one hand, Zhang Yishan originally played Yu Zui in his previous life.

On the other hand, Zhang Yishan is indeed very suitable for this role. He looks quirky and funny.

Such a character is also more likely to become an undercover agent.

Just like Yu Zui and another policeman competing for the undercover role in the play.

The other policeman looked very righteous.

Even if such a person sneaks in as an undercover agent, he will be eliminated in minutes.

Only those characters who don't look so serious and are a little vulgar are more suitable for this task.

Listen to Chen Cheng's mission.

Zhang Rui called Zhang Yishan over.

An audition.

Hey.

Zhang Rui directly decided on Zhang Yishan that day.

"Thank you for your care, brother."

After confirming the role, Zhang Yishan seemed very excited.

Although he was a child star.

However, after he finished his role in "Home with Kids", he did not get many roles.

Many people still regard him as a child star.

Even if there are dramas later, he plays supporting roles and has no role as the protagonist. Some people have considered Zhang Yishan to play the leading male role.

But after asking Zhang Yishan to audition, many directors felt that Zhang Yishan had a baby face and gave up on the role.

This made Zhang Yishan lose confidence.

did not expect.

This time, I actually got the chance to play the No. 1 male role.

Although he knows.

This is a web drama.

However, Zhang Rui patted Zhang Yishan on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, you were actually recommended by Director Chen Cheng."

"Brother Chen Cheng?"

"Ah."

"Senior Brother Chen Cheng is my idol."

"Hahaha, he's not just your idol, he's probably the idol of countless Beijing Film Academy students. Work hard and don't let Director Chen down."

"must."

Zhang Yishan nodded heavily.

He still remembered that Chen Cheng said at the Beijing Film Academy not long ago that online dramas might be a breakthrough in the future.

Zhang Yishan also made up his mind.

I must play this web drama well.

……

At the same time as Master Xing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released.

"The Mojin: The Lost Legend", of which Chen Cheng is also one of the producers, has officially been withdrawn from theaters.

The final box office exceeded 16 billion.

It’s just that Chen Cheng didn’t pay much attention to this film.

Although he was one of the producers, he only invested some money as a friendly gesture.

This is also because of the producer "Pang Hong".

In addition, director Wuershan had worked with Chen Cheng before and was also Chen Cheng's senior at the Beijing Film Academy, so Chen Cheng made a symbolic investment.

But whether it is a symbol or friendship.

The box office exceeded 16 billion, which made the producer a lot of money.

Pang Hong personally called Chen Cheng and asked him to come to the celebration banquet.

Chen Cheng had been relatively free recently, so he agreed.

The next night.

Chen Cheng went to the hotel where the celebration banquet of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin" was held.

Although Ghost Blows Out the Light has been taken off the screen.

But there were still dozens of media outlets present at the scene that day.

Not all of them were invited by Pang Hong.

After all, the movie has been taken off the screen and there is no need for large-scale publicity like before.

But I heard that Chen Cheng will come.

Some media came uninvited.

"Director Chen, you really have a keen eye. You invested in another movie with such a high box office."

A media reporter was the first to interview Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "It's really Producer Pang who has a good eye. I just followed suit and invested a little."

This is not to say that Chen Cheng is not interested in Ghost Blows Out the Light.

The main reason is that Chen Cheng has invested in too many films.

Even for a hit movie like Mojin: The Lost Tomb, Chen Cheng might not invest so much sometimes.

"Look, Director Chen is humble again."

Producer Pang Hong walked out quickly.

He still remembers.

Before the filming of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb", he also looked for Chen Cheng.

to be frank.

Pang Hong didn't have much confidence at that time.

The main reason is that someone had previously filmed a "Ghost Blows Out the Light" movie, but the box office was not very ideal.

Not only is it not ideal, but the reputation is also bad.

Because of this reputation, the IP of Ghost Blows Out the Light has been affected to some extent.

But Chen Cheng supported him firmly.

"Come on, Director Chen, let's go inside and have a drink."

Pang Hong was in a very good mood today and pulled Chen Cheng into the main hall of the celebration banquet.

"Everyone, look who's here?"

This said.

Everyone at the scene turned their eyes to Chen Cheng.

In fact, Pang Hong doesn’t need to tell me.

When Chen Cheng entered the main hall.

When everyone was chatting excitedly just now, everyone automatically turned their eyes to Chen Cheng.

"Hello, Director Chen."

The first person to come forward and greet Chen Cheng was actor Chen Kun.

Chen Cheng smiled slightly: "Brother, long time no see."

Yes.

Chen Kun also graduated from Beijing Film Academy.

Chen Kun was extremely excited when Chen Cheng called him "Senior Brother".

Huang Bo on the side also stepped forward.

Chen Cheng joked with Huang Bo, "Huang Bo, you've been very popular recently. It seems you've taken on another movie."

"I have to thank Director Chen for taking care of me."

Huang Bo is very good at speaking.

Not long ago, he took on Ning Hao's "Lost in Thailand".

Huang Bo heard that he was recommended by Chen Cheng.

This made Huang Bo extremely grateful to Chen Cheng.

Say.

He was able to make a name for himself thanks to Chen Cheng’s Lost in Thailand.

Huang Bo still remembers Chen Cheng's kindness to this day.

Actor Shu Qi also came over and toasted Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng said, "Hello, Miss Duan."

This made everyone in the audience laugh.

That's right.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is currently in theaters.

She plays Miss Duan in the play.

It can be said.

Shu Qi is now arguably the most popular actress.

Shu Qi suppressed his excitement and said, "Master Xing has been talking about you, Director Chen. I really hope to work with you one day."

"There's a chance."

Chen Cheng nodded.

……

After chatting with a few actors, Pang Hong took Chen Cheng to another private room.

Several big guys were sitting in the private room.

Also an old acquaintance.

Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, Wang Changtian from Guangxian, and Wang Jianlin from Wanda.

The three big guys are also the producers of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Lost Tomb".

Plus Chen Cheng, and Pang Hong.

All five producers are here.

"Chen Cheng, you are the focus of everyone's attention."

"I'm jealous. I want to appear on screen more often."

"Me too."

Several bigwigs joked and invited Chen Cheng to take a seat.

Although they know.

Chen Cheng actually didn't appear on camera much.

This is entirely due to his strength, which is why everyone pays so much attention to him.

Chen Cheng said: "Don't tease me, big guys. Look, you made a fortune this time."

Wang Jianlin said, "No matter how much money we make, we can never surpass you. My Fathers and I made 21 billion at the box office. I'm jealous. Well, Chen Cheng, let's make a deal. How about we guarantee a minimum box office of 20 billion for your next movie?"

"Next movie, which one?"

"You won't forget it, will you? The Mekong River."

"Tsk tsk, Lao Wang, you really have a good idea."

Chen Cheng said: "I think it would be better for Wanda not to get involved in the distribution business of Meigong River."

This said.

Wang Jianlin was anxious: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke."

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

Who doesn't know.

Mekong River is definitely a hit.

Later, it just depends on how it explodes.

But that’s what Wang Jianlin said.

But then, people mentioned the Meigong River from time to time.
