Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 371 Tribute to Mr. Chen Cheng.

Hu Ge was extremely surprised to see Chen Cheng.

At the same time he was very excited.

However, Hu Ge didn't know that Chen Cheng came to see him specifically.

He thought Chen Cheng was passing by their crew and came to take a look.

This is normal.

Because Chen Cheng is now not only a super producer, but also the vice president of China Film Corporation.

He is also the vice president of the Directors Guild.

In addition to his own business, Chen Cheng often provides a series of assistance to directors, producers, and producers.

night.

Chen Cheng had dinner with Hu Ge alone.

Chen Cheng asked Hu Ge how he was doing recently.

Hu Ge smiled and said, "It's not bad actually. Although it may not be as good as it was back then, compared to many people, I am already extremely lucky."

Chen Cheng nodded at Hu Ge's words.

He thought Hu Ge would be depressed.

after all.

He was at the peak when he debuted.

But after the peak, it has been going downhill.

If he hadn’t created such a phenomenal work back then.

I'm afraid he will be reduced to a second-rate actor in the circle.

Many actors will also become depressed because of this.

But it seems that Hu Ge didn't.

instead.

His mentality is still very good.

Although he knew that he was much worse now than before.

"Haha, not bad, you have a good attitude."

Chen Cheng said.

Hu Ge smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, please stop teasing me. My mentality is nothing compared to yours."

Hu Ge really admires Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng is very familiar with Hu Ge.

Chen Cheng met Hu Ge when he was doing ordinary work behind the scenes.

Although we have met less frequently in recent years.

But Chen Cheng felt that Hu Ge in front of him had not changed much.

In Hu Ge's eyes.

Chen Cheng's image of a young immortal hero would flash from time to time.

"I have a play, are you interested?"

After thinking about it, Chen Cheng said.

Hu Ge was stunned: "What drama?"

"This drama is called Nirvana in Fire. It will be launched in a while. I think you are more suitable for the male lead."

"Male No. 1?"

Hu Ge was stunned: "Brother Cheng, you should find someone else."

"what?"

Now it was Chen Cheng's turn to be confused: "Why, you don't even want the male No. 1?"

Hu Ge shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, but... I think I'm not suitable for taking the leading male role right now."

"What do you think? In the previous Disguiser, you were the male lead, and you acted well."

"What's good about this drama? All the fans complained that I was the worst actor in this drama."

"Hahaha, are you saying that your acting is bad and not as good as Minglou and Mingcheng?"

"Brother Cheng, don't be like this. It's fine if others complain about me, but you complain about me to my face."

Hu Ge rolled his eyes and said, "But that's true. If my acting is bad, people will definitely say it. I can't stop them."

"People only complain about you if they like you. If they don't like you, they won't bother to pay attention to you."

"Oh my god, I'm supposed to be happy when someone scolds me?"

"That's not."

Chen Cheng touched Hu Ge's cup and said, "Come on, have a drink."

Hu Ge was amused by Chen Cheng's words: "Brother Cheng, you are really good at comforting people."

talking.

Hu Ge drank it all in one gulp.

But after drinking, Hu Ge said, "Brother Cheng, forget it. I know my level. In fact, I didn't hone my skills well enough when I was in college. Plus, I became famous too quickly, so I got a little cocky. Then that incident happened, and 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now I'm old, and even though I want to improve, I can't."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Chen Cheng said, "Do you believe me?"

"Of course, Brother Cheng, if I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"

"Since you believe it, then you can take this male No. 1."

"what……"

Seeing that Chen Cheng still wanted him to play the No. 1 male role, Hu Ge thought for a long time.

Then he said again: "Brother Cheng, let me be honest with you. I dream of taking your No. 1 male role. But, given my current situation, I really can't take it. I'm also worried that because of me, your golden signboard will be affected. In fact, I can see it very clearly now. Take The Disguiser for example. Although I am the No. 1 male role, I actually knew when I took this role that my role is not that important, nor is it the most critical. The truly wonderful role is Ming Lou. However, I am not capable of playing Ming Lou... In the end, I can only play a role like Ming Tai, who is a playboy with some flirtatious manners."

Speaking of it.

Hu Ge seemed a little depressed.

Although he knows himself very well.

He is also very content.

No matter how contented he is, Hu Ge also has times when he feels lonely when compared with other people.

However, Chen Cheng was very optimistic about Hu Ge and said, "Since you think so, I think the No. 1 male role belongs to you."

"Brother Cheng, why do you still let me play the No. 1 male role?"

"Otherwise, I came here specifically to find you this time."

"what."

"Ah for what?"

"Well... well, Brother Cheng, you know that my acting skills are not that good."

"Movies and TV series are not all about acting. If they were, then what would we do with celebrities? Wouldn't we just let those with great acting skills act?"

"Can……"

"Nothing to worry about. The script will be sent to you in a few days. Read the script and then make a decision."

A few days later.

Hu Ge received the script of Nirvana in Fire in his mailbox.

Although Hu Ge rejected Chen Cheng at that time.

However, Hu Ge read the script as soon as possible.

until.

When he finished watching "Nirvana in Fire", he was so excited that he almost screamed.

Subsequently.

He also searched for the novel "Nirvana in Fire" on the Internet.

Finally finished reading the script and the novel.

Hu Ge called Chen Cheng and asked, "Brother Cheng, is the No. 1 male role in Nirvana in Fire still reserved for me?"

Received a call from Hu Ge.

Chen Cheng was not surprised at all.

Because he knows.

If Hu Ge reads this script, he will definitely accept it.

As for the reason.

It’s not because Chen Cheng went to find Hu Ge.

The most critical.

Or it is because the male protagonist Mei Changsu in "Nirvana in Fire" has a life experience very similar to Hu Ge's.

They have all undergone tremendous changes.

As the male protagonist, Lin Shu had to change his appearance and use the pseudonym Mei Changsu.

And Hu Ge.

Although it’s still the same Hu Ge.

But he knew it.

When he recovered from his injury, the entertainment industry was no longer the one he was familiar with.

"Hahaha, I knew you would take my show."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the No. 1 male role is still there. However, I have to give you a challenge. There will be an audition for the No. 1 male role in a few days, and I won't participate. If you can impress the director and producer, then the No. 1 male role in Nirvana in Fire will be yours."

"Brother Cheng, I'll come for the audition in a few days."

"OK, I'll wait for you."

……

Hu Ge naturally became the No. 1 male star in Nirvana in Fire.

It is also unreasonable to say that there was no recommendation from Chen Cheng at all.

But during the audition that day, Hu Ge also won unanimous approval from the producer and director with his performance.

It’s not that Hu Ge’s acting skills improved suddenly in just a few days.

Absolutely.

Hu Ge is somewhat into the role.

Yes.

After reading the script of Nirvana in Fire, Hu Ge felt that the male lead, Mei Changsu, in the drama seemed to be referring to himself.

He was completely immersed in the role in the play.

Until the audition.

Hu Ge's performance impressed the producer and director, and they immediately decided on Hu Ge.

As for what happened later, Chen Cheng didn't pay much attention to it.

He has a lot of things to deal with.

Let’s not talk about "Nirvana in Fire".

A series of film and television dramas related to Chen Cheng will also be released in the following period of time.

Such as the several films that Chen Cheng previously invested in by China Film.

"The Last of Us" by Milk Tea Liu Luoying.

The movie version of Yi Xiaoxing's "Never Expected".

Han Han's first directorial debut is also his first film "See You Tomorrow".

Of course, there is also Huang Bo's "A Good Show". The worst performance is Yi Xiaoxing's "Never Expected".

Although "Never Expected" is a relatively well-known online drama IP.

However, there are still some differences between web dramas and big movies.

"Never Expected" directed by Yi Xiaoxing performed mediocrely, only earning around 1 million yuan at the box office.

But it's already pretty good.

Because the total investment of this drama is only 2000 million.

The box office revenue is shared.

The producers made a net profit of more than 1000 million.

From a business perspective.

The film was still a success.

Although this is Han Han's first time directing a movie.

But the actors chosen for this "See You Tomorrow" are very good.

Male actors include Feng Shaofeng, Chen Bailin, and Wallace Chung.

Actresses, Wang Luodan, Yuan Quan, Chen Qiaoen
They are all in their prime.

The most important thing is.

Although this film doesn't seem to be that well directed.

Even many people in the industry could tell at a glance that this was a novice director.

But a novice director may not necessarily become popular.

Such as Han Han.

Although this is Han Han's first time directing, his film, like his novels, has a strong Han style.

This makes many fans of Korean works and movie fans think that this movie is okay.

Although later on I can't quite remember what the movie was about.

But this is not important.

The important thing is.

They just felt that it was enjoyable when they watched the movie.

The movie did very well at the box office, grossing over 6 million yuan.

The box office revenue exceeded 6 million for his first directorial debut, which can be considered a success.

even.

Such an achievement.

He can't achieve the same level as many well-known directors.

……

What surprised everyone the most was "The Last of Us".

When this movie was released.

Many people in the industry commented that this film might have been made by Liu Luoying to make money.

This phenomenon is very common in the circle.

There have been several movies that have followed this pattern before.

Songs like "Gardenia Blossoms", "Childhood", "You, My Deskmate"... all use a song that was popular all over the country at the time to attract the attention of fans.

Then focus on feelings.

If you do it well, you might actually make money.

But a pity.

Although domestic films are rising rapidly.

But if this way of making money succeeds once, it will be difficult for him to replicate it a second time.

not to mention.

Liu Luoying, however, is a complete layman.

He is different from Yi Xiaoxing and Han Han.

How can Yi Xiaoxing be called a director?

After all, Han Han is a writer and can write scripts.

What can Liu Luoying do? She is just a singer.

Directed by such a singer, many people thought that "The Last of Us" would definitely fail at the box office.

Not only flutter.

I will also rush to my grandma's house.

But sometimes reality is just so strange.

Not only did "The Last of Us" not flop, it actually made money.

Not only made money.

On the contrary, The Last of Us exploded at the box office.

The final box office revenue reached a staggering 14 billion.

It can be said that it shocked many people's eyes.

Of course, this result was also criticized by many people, who said that the film might have been cheated in ticket sales.

However, after Chen Cheng took a look at it, he felt that it was very normal for this film to be successful.

This movie seems to be a love story.

But in fact, it tells the story of a loser's counterattack.

The male lead in the drama is actually us in real life.

When we are at our best years, we meet women we cannot afford to love.

How to do?
and so.

When singing this song "Later".

The movie script and the songs are perfectly integrated.

……

If we say that "The Last of Us" is extremely surprising.

Then.

It is only natural that Huang Bo’s "A Good Show" became a hit.

As a funny star after Xu Zheng, Wang Baobao, Shen Teng...

Huang Bo is also the traffic leader in funny comedies.

A good show although it is not an orthodox comedy.

But it was directed by Huang Bo, played by Huang Bo...he also made the audience laugh.

And the most important thing is.

A Good Show doesn't just make you laugh.

While you are laughing, you also deeply understand that this movie actually has a very high depth.

Just as the plot plays out.

A group of people were stranded on a deserted island, with no rescue and no signal... Everyone thought they might be the only ones left in the world.

So how should this group of people stranded on a deserted island develop, and how should humanity continue?

There is a struggle for power here.

An interpretation of human nature.

It’s about the inheritance of culture and bloodline.

This could make for a super blockbuster.

I really need to think about it carefully.

inside.

Love is the least important element.

In the end, the box office of this film reached 16 billion.

After reading it, Chen Cheng felt it was a pity.

He felt that the script should start at at least 20 billion.

If Huang Bo had directed the film, he could have paid more attention to the key points instead of putting love first.

But after all, everyone has a first time.

Huang Bo's first directorial debut was pretty good.

……

There were also some that Chen Cheng was quite satisfied with.

That is Happy Twist’s “The Richest Man in Xihong City”.

How should we describe the relationship between Chen Cheng and Kaixin Makai? It is neither a superior-subordinate relationship nor an acquirer-acquired relationship.

Chen Cheng only owns a small portion of the shares of Happy Twist.

He is not the largest shareholder.

The largest shareholder.

Still the Happy Twist team.

Chen Cheng had previously considered acquiring Happy Twist completely.

After thinking about it, I gave up.

It’s not that he doesn’t think highly of Happy Twist.

It was precisely because he was optimistic that Chen Cheng did not want to be completely controlled by himself.

If domestic films are to flourish, they should allow a hundred flowers to bloom.

So for the second collaboration with Kai Xin Ma Kai, "The Richest Man in Xihong City", although Chen Cheng was the main investor, he also let Kai Xin Ma Kai invest.

Simultaneously.

Chen Cheng did not label this film as "Chen Cheng's work".

In fact.

Chen Cheng had also heard before that someone had contacted the Happy Twist team and asked them to completely separate themselves from Chen Cheng.

But Happy Twist directly refused.

Not only refused.

Kaixin Makai is also cooperating more closely with Chen Cheng.

But they know.

The reason why Chen Cheng did not label this work as "Chen Cheng's work" is not because he did not value them.

Instead, Chen Cheng hopes that Kaixin Makai can create its own brand.

It is also because of gratitude to Chen Cheng.

However, the Happy Twist team wrote a sentence at the beginning of the film "The Richest Man in Xihong City": A tribute to Mr. Chen Cheng.
