Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 353 made my blood boil, as if I had been injected with chicken blood.

However, setting a release date is not necessarily that easy.

mainly.

Chen Cheng didn't want to affect other popular films at this time.

Such as Stephen Chow's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

After talking with several distributors, Chen Cheng decided to adopt the preview strategy he had used before.

Chen Cheng had used it before the preview and the effect was very good.

However, Chen Cheng did not adopt the method of preview screening for all his films later on.

This is not to say that the results after the preview were not ideal.

In fact, it’s mainly because I’m quite tired.

For preview screenings, you must contact some suitable theaters and play them at a specific time and place.

At the same time, we must also pay attention to the impact of audience opinion during the preview period.

In other words.

It's called a preview.

But in fact, there are some that are equivalent to official releases.

It's just on a small scale.

Although it is broadcast on a small scale, the producers are still fully committed.

As a producer, Chen Cheng didn't want to be too involved in the front line.

Plus there are many other businesses.

As a result, Chen Cheng did not preview many films during this period.

But even so.

These films that were not previewed also brought incredible box office results to the market.

"Okay, let's preview it first and see how it goes."

Wang Jianlin, Wang Changtian and others also nodded.

Previews can also help you know the potential of a film in advance.

in particular.

The preview effect will enable these distributors to make more comprehensive distribution and promotion plans.

……

"Wow, hahaha, Chen Cheng's new movie is finally coming."

"Ah, new movie, what new movie? Why is there no news at all?"

"By the time you get the news, all the tickets for the new movie preview have been snapped up."

Chen Cheng's current popularity can almost be said to require no publicity.

He had just confirmed the news of the advance screening, and the tickets for some of the cinema chains that had cooperated with him had already been snapped up by a group of die-hard fans.

no way.

Chen Cheng’s films are now more popular in the country than any of Hollywood’s top blockbusters.

Not to mention.

This "Operation Meigong River" is still labeled "Chen Cheng's work".

"I think this Mekong River operation is going to be a hit."

"Heh, when will Chen Cheng's works not become popular?"

"I mean, this Mekong River movie is going to be a big hit."

"How to say?"

"Look at the title. It's a work by Chen Cheng and produced by Chen Cheng. That's enough."

A die-hard fan pointed at the content in the promotion and said.

Chen Cheng's works have already become a golden signboard.

Not to mention.

Chen Cheng personally participated in this film.

In other words.

Regarding the value of Chen Cheng's works.

It starts with the four words "Chen Cheng's works".

But this time.

If it is Chen Cheng's work, Chen Cheng is also involved in other areas.

For example, screenwriter, producer, director...

Then this film is no longer just a work by Chen Cheng.

This represents Chen Cheng's deep attention to this work.

Just imagine.

Those works that Chen Cheng didn't pay much attention to have become extremely popular.

How will these works that Chen Cheng value become popular?

"Chen Cheng, let's go to the cinema together."

Wang Jianlin invited Chen Cheng to join him.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Forget it, you guys go ahead, I don't know how many times I have watched this movie."

Wang Jianlin continued, "I know you've watched this movie many times, but the preview is not just about the movie, it's more about the audience's reaction and word of mouth, as well as the popularity of the movie. You know this better than I do, so hurry up, we're going to go big this time. Please be kind and let us make a little more money this time."

"It's just... since you've eaten the meat, it would be nice to give us some soup."

Wang Changtian from Guangguang also came to provide supplementary information at this time.

Yes.

Wang Jianlin and Wang Changtian are one of the cinema chains and also one of the distributors.

They are keeping a close eye on Chen Cheng's "Operation Meigong River".

They can also see the potential profit level from this work.

However, he was somewhat unsure about the profit.

Although some publicity and promotion plans were made before the release, they may not be so accurate.

But if they can get the preview data and word-of-mouth information as soon as possible, they will be able to better formulate specific response strategies.

Seeing the two bosses being so enthusiastic, Chen Cheng had no choice but to nod.

……

That night.

Chen Cheng accompanied Wang Jianlin and Wang Changtian to Wanda Sankesong Cinema.

This is one of the preview venues for "Operation Mekong River".

At this time, the cinema was already crowded with friends who came to watch this movie.

However, Wang Jianlin was a little puzzled: "It seems that the box office for the preview is not that high, did these people buy tickets?"

"should not."

Wang Changtian took out his phone and looked at the message sent by his assistant, and said, "These fans are all here to watch the fun."

Lin Jianlin turned his head and gave Chen Cheng a thumbs up.

no way.

The strength is there.

Even though it was a preview without much publicity, it still made fans extremely excited.

Just like them.

Even if they didn't buy tickets, they still came here to watch the fun.

This reflects the popularity of this film.

finally.

This also reflects Chen Cheng's box office appeal.

"Brother, do you have tickets?"

"Yes, I have."

"Well, can you sell it to me?"

"Tsk, you know how hard it is for me to get this ticket. Besides, it's Chen Cheng's movie, no matter how much money you offer, I won't give it to you."

There were some excited fans at the scene who wanted to pay a high price to buy the tickets from other friends.

But a pity.

Almost everyone refused.

Although they knew that Operation Mekong River would be released after a while.

Looking ahead or looking behind, there doesn't seem to be much loss.

But for them, it is not the case.

Being able to watch Chen Cheng's films in advance, they felt that this was a kind of beauty that no one else could enjoy.

If this movie has another hit.

I guess when he walks out of the cinema, he will be able to brag about it for days.

"It's really awesome."

Wang Changtian also gave a thumbs up.

Looking at the fan in front who was bidding, he said, "The price has reached 800 yuan, but he still doesn't want to give up his ticket."

"Cough cough..."

Chen Cheng coughed.

Then he said, "Boss Wang, you guys are encouraging scalpers. Do you want them to be middlemen?"

Wang Changtian smiled and said, "There are no scalpers now. With our Maoyan app, we can beat all the scalpers long ago. It's all because of your fans. If it were me, I might have sold the ticket. 800 yuan, tsk tsk..."

Several people watched and chatted.

About twenty minutes later, the three of them walked into the screening room.

……

Operation Mekong River. Just by looking at the name, you know what this movie is about.

Just as everyone guessed.

Operation Mekong River is a film about the previous Mekong River case.

Of course he is not a documentary.

He recorded the Meigong River incident for everyone through film.

This type of film is very novel.

Everyone just took a look, and after a few shots flashed, they were completely immersed in the scene.

"Damn, I'm reminded of last year's Meigong River incident."

"Me too. So many of our crew members died. What on earth is going on?"

"Don't worry, this movie will soon restore the truth to everyone."

The Meigong River incident had a great impact in previous lives.

Almost.

All Chinese people know about this incident.

At the same time, countless Chinese people were extremely angry about this incident.

But there are also many friends who do not know the truth and do not know how this incident happened.

They suppressed their excitement and continued to watch bit by bit.

As the plot progresses.

People are also increasingly understanding the truth of the incident.

It turns out that the Meigong River incident was a massacre of extermination initiated by the main culprit, Naw Kham.

In order to evade China's sanctions, Naw Kham forged evidence and tried to pin the incident on others.

Even the Elephant officials kept claiming at the beginning that this was a poisoning incident and was not that complicated.

But under strong pressure from domestic officials, Elephant officials finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

They handed over nine military personnel.

Nine military personnel admitted that they had colluded with Naw Kham and that this was the cause of the tragic incident.

After the truth came out.

The domestic officials were also not idle, and immediately convened a four-nation meeting to prepare for a cross-border arrest operation.

But it is not so easy to capture Naw Kham.

He has no fixed base.

No one knew where he lived.

to this end.

Hundreds or even thousands of arrest personnel were dispatched from the country, and a series of strict deployments were carried out around the four countries.

finally.

Naw Kham was captured in Laos and forcibly transferred back to China.

"Fuck, that's great."

"The lives and safety of Chinese people cannot be violated by anyone. Even if it's across borders, we will catch you back."

"I have been following the Mekong River incident for the past year, and today I finally understand the whole story of this incident."

Those friends who hadn't blinked at all finally let out the breath they had been holding for two hours.

Especially when they saw the domestic authorities conducting a cross-border hunt for the murderer and successfully bringing him back to the country... they felt as if every cell in their body was about to explode.

Many people were trembling a little.

Granted.

The Mekong River incident was a very tragic event.

He is not something to celebrate.

but.

After this incident occurred.

The domestic authorities took strong action and proved their attitude to the people with an iron-blooded style, which was worth it.

"I felt my blood boiling watching that. I feel our country is getting better and better."

"Well, although I know there are still some bad things in the country, but... as long as I have the attitude towards the Mekong River incident, I am proud to be Chinese."

"Yes, there is no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for us. Without the stability that the country has fought for, we would never have the time to sit here and watch a movie."

"I want to say that this is the embodiment of national strength, and this is the real theme."

The audience was still talking excitedly even after they walked out of the cinema.

There were even quite a few spectators.

They are still excited now.

Walk out of the cinema.

Looking at the movie ticket in my hand.

They couldn't help but shout towards the sky.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Ah ah ah ah..."

In the beginning there were only a few people.

then.

Countless people followed suit and started screaming.

……

"Amazing, really amazing."

Just like all the other spectators.

When Wang Jianlin and Wang Changtian walked out of the cinema, they couldn't help but recall the scenes in the movie from time to time.

There is grief, indignation, passion, enthusiasm, as well as recognition and pride in the country.

Although at the beginning, they already knew that Operation Mekong River was a mainstream movie.

This is similar to the founding of Daye by me and my parents.

But after watching the Meigong River Persuasion.

He just found out.

Even the founding of Daye, my father and I...all of these cannot be compared with the Meigong River operation.

This is not a different type.

This is the difference in emotions.

If we talk about the founding of Daye, the main theme of my generation and mine seems to be the flowing water of the river, rolling forward.

Then the Meigong River operation was like the roar of the sea, a complete explosion.

"..."

There were so many things to say, but suddenly the two of them didn't know what to say.

After a while, the two said, "Chen Cheng, we have to go back and redo the promotion plan."

……

"Brothers, it seems that the Mekong River operation is very fierce."

"I found out. The previews have been showing in recent days and the word of mouth is really good."

"It's not just good. It's said that everyone who has seen it has been crying for days."

"What does it mean to keep yelling?"

"I don't know either. I think they were a little overwhelmed. But what is certain is that the film definitely has some highlights. And they are not just ordinary highlights."

Although the preview of Operation Mekong River was only conducted on a small scale.

But his reputation still quickly exploded in the media.

"I heard that Wanda and Guangguang, the two distributors, have increased their publicity and distribution funds."

“What does it mean to increase the publicity and promotion funds?”

"This means that the box office may still increase, which may be beyond their previous plan."

“How much will it increase?”

"I don't know. But my friend heard that Wanda and Guangxian added 1 million yuan in publicity and promotion funds this time."

"1 million yuan for publicity and promotion... My God, some other films don't even make 1 million yuan at the box office."

"So what do you think the box office of Operation Mekong River will be?"

People kept talking.

Just a pity.

Operation Mekong River was only screened in preview and not released on a large scale.

Even though many people were extremely excited, they still could not officially watch this movie.

But even if you can't see this movie.

But every day they couldn't help but watch some preview information about "Operation Meigong River".

Some media reported it.

Some viewers who watched the preview started screaming as soon as they left the cinema.

There were also reports that some viewers walked out of the cinema and ran on the streets holding national flags.

Others gathered in groups of three or five, shouting slogans and singing the national anthem.

"Oh my god."

"What kind of movie is this? It's so exciting?"

“Ahhh, when will it be officially released? I’m about to run wildly on the street with these guys.”

"Well, if it doesn't come out, I not only want to run wildly, I want to run naked."

"..."

The eyes of countless viewers were filled with incomparable passion.
