Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 372 I am the Grandmaster of Demonic Path, Wei Wuxian. (The end of the book)
“Chinese films are really on the rise.”

"Well, I don't like to watch some movies that don't make 10 billion at the box office."

"Yes, yes. Think about it, in the past, when the box office broke 1 million, we had to open champagne to celebrate. The person who made the greatest contribution was Mr. Chen Cheng."

"Yes, it's Mr. Chen Cheng."

With the complete rise of the domestic film market.

Chen Cheng appeared less and less in the media and in front of the public.

But Chen Cheng rarely showed up.

The outside world and the media have a higher opinion of Chen Cheng.

It is not just Chen Cheng who has made great contributions to the domestic film market.

More importantly.

Although Chen Cheng rarely showed up.

But in recent times, every movie labeled "Chen Cheng's work" has caused countless responses in the country.

Needless to say, the box office was horrible.

The word of mouth and the chain reaction it caused were even more terrifying.

Just like Chen Cheng’s last work “I Am Not a God of Medicine”, it directly promoted the reform of the domestic medical sector.

Such reforms can be said to have brought huge benefits to the people of all China.

Many medicines that are simply unaffordable have been included in the medical insurance.

Many expensive medicines have become affordable.

Countless families have received medical treatment.

Countless patients have regained their health as a result.

In the words of some netizens online.

After recovering, some patients wanted to build a shrine for Chen Cheng at home.

of course.

This is a bit of a joke.

But this also shows the great contribution Chen Cheng made in this area.

Hollywood side.

Chen Cheng is also the most dazzling figure in the world.

For example, "Iron Man 3", which was taken over by Chen Cheng, directly grossed 13 billion US dollars worldwide.

This move has soared the value of Marvel's single hero to the level of the Avengers.

To know.

The Avengers was a group of heroes that came together to create a box office of $15 billion.

but.

This is not the first time Chen Cheng has shown his charm in Hollywood.

In DC.

The DC hero "Aquaman" produced by Chen Cheng before.

Chen Cheng was able to make tens of billions of dollars from this unknown hero.

This also left Marvel with almost nothing to consider.

He directly signed a production cooperation agreement with Chen Cheng for "Avengers 2".

Yes.

Need I say more?
The single hero Chen Cheng could raise $13 billion.

If Chen Cheng produced a Marvel Universe like this, God knows how many billions he would have made.

Ok.

In fact, Chen Cheng has already told you the answer later.

Right after Iron Man 3.

"Fast and Furious 7" produced by Chen Cheng.

This is a movie that is considered to be unlikely to be released.

Because when this movie was being filmed, the male lead Paul suddenly died.

Many media outlets and industry professionals predicted that the film was doomed.

Even if the producer later found Chen Cheng.

They just hope that Chen Cheng can let them lose less money.

But no one expected it.

Under the production of Chen Cheng.

This "Fast and Furious 7" not only did not lose money.

On the contrary, he created a global box office of 15 billion US dollars, which is a miracle.

What shocked the industry even more was "Jurassic World" produced by Chen Cheng.

This is the Jurassic series that once caused a sensation around the world.

Because Jurassic Series 4 suffered huge losses, the series was suspended for more than ten years.

Until Chen Cheng appeared.

finally.

"Jurassic World"

However, with a box office of 20 billion US dollars, it became the third movie with a global box office of over 20 billion.

On top of this.

One is Avatar.

Another is Titanic.

Faced with one horrific record after another.

After Chen Cheng took over "Avengers 2".

Chen Cheng has taken on another blockbuster, which is a "Star Wars" series that is comparable to the "Jurassic" series.

……

unconsciously.

Another year has passed.

It is now 2016.

This year, Chen Cheng only released one work in the country, "Eight Hundred".

This work tells the story of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse.

Although it is a very small warehouse.

But in this warehouse, a series of touching stories happened.

In order to save this warehouse and prevent it from being destroyed.

The soldiers used their lives and blood to tell the audience a heroic and tragic story.

Just a pity.

The ending was not very good.

Although they successfully defended the Sihang Warehouse, due to the situation, they had to abandon the warehouse and retreat back to the concession.

"Cried."

"Well, when I saw the soldiers jumping down with bombs strapped to their bodies, I burst into tears."

"Yes, without the blood of our martyrs, there would be no peace we have today."

Chen Cheng's version of The Eight Hundred is somewhat different from the previous version.

The difference lies in the ending.

The ending of the previous life Eight Hundred was not very clear.

All we know is that some soldiers retreated to the concession, and no further explanation was given.

Just retreating back to the concession does not mean that the soldiers will survive.

The group of soldiers behind were also detained in the isolated army camp.

In the end, not many people survived.

but.

If Chen Cheng just filmed this ending, there would be no point.

So Chen Cheng added another scene after the final ending.

This scene.

A dead soldier suddenly had a dream.

In a dream.

He came to modern China.

He ate the hot white rice.

He took the high-speed train at 350 kilometers per hour.

He got on the plane and flew into the blue sky.

He saw the launch of China's Shenzhou spacecraft.

He saw warship after warship sail to various parts of the world.

He saw the people walking peacefully, healthily and happily on the land they once walked on.

Ok.

The box office of this movie exceeded 50 billion.

……

In a blink of an eye.

2017 is here.

This year, Chen Cheng produced more works.

Mainly, there are several anime appearing.

One is called "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an".

One is called "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".

The performance of Chang'an Sanwanli is quite outstanding.

Even though it's an anime.

But once this anime was released, it sparked a Tang poetry craze among countless Chinese people.

The friendship among Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi in the movie also describes the prosperity and decline of the Tang Dynasty.

They used to travel together, search for immortals together, and make elixirs together.

But who knows.

Some years later.

The fates of the three people are completely different.

Du Fu experienced the An-Shi Rebellion and did not have a very good life.

Gao Shi was just as he wrote, "Who in the world does not know you?" As fate would have it, he was granted a title of nobility and appointed as a general.

It’s Li Bai.

He was once Du Fu’s number one idol, the Immortal Poet of the Tang Dynasty.

However, she experienced divorce, mistakenly joined the army during the Anshi Rebellion, was exiled, and then had a general amnesty.

But on the way back, Li Bai passed away.

"Wow, I didn't expect anime to be shot like this."

"It's really informative."

"I brought my whole family to see Three Thousand Miles to Chang'an today and learned a lot. Thank you, Mr. Chen Cheng."

The final box office of "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an" reached 25 billion.

It set the highest box office record for domestic animation.

but.

Just when you thought "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an" was the pinnacle of domestic animation.

Immediately following "30,000 Miles from Chang'an" is another animation "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World".

In terms of intention.

Nezha cannot be compared with the 30,000 miles of Chang'an.

But that's how it is sometimes.

If "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an" had more realistic significance, its box office would have been higher.

Nezha: The Devil Child Reborn… was only released once.

He immediately showed signs of being a super hit.

The box office exceeded 5 million on the first day of release, which shocked everyone so much that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

till the end.

The box office of Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World reached 53 billion.

of course.

The most sensational thing in 2017 was not Nezha.

It’s Chen Cheng’s “Wolf Warrior 2”.

This work was launched at the same time as "The Eight Hundred" and "Dying to Survive".

The first two works have been released early.

But Chen Cheng has been holding on to this Wolf Warrior 2.

At that time, many people still had some unclear situations.

They don’t know why Chen Cheng delayed the release of Wolf Warrior 2 so late.

but.

When Wolf Warrior 2 was released and the line "Whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away he is" was shouted...

that moment.

Everybody knows.

Not to mention it was postponed for two years.

Even if it is postponed for another five years, it will be worth it.

……

but.

In the past few years.

It's not just Chen Cheng's work that has achieved huge box office success.

Some works related to Chen Cheng and invested by Chen Cheng also achieved good box office results.

Such as Zhang Yi's work.

Since the last time Zhang Yi asked Chen Cheng for advice.

Zhang Yi began to move towards realistic themes.

His movie "Article 20" broke the 25 billion box office mark and reached billion.

Although 25 billion is still some distance away from Chen Cheng's work.

But this result also ranks among the top ten in the domestic box office rankings.

Chen Kaige is also not bad.

After Chen Cheng's work Eight Hundred, Brother Chen Kai also filmed anti-Japanese war works.

Such as his "Volunteer Army".

The box office also broke 10 billion.

Or maybe 10 billion is a little too little.

but.

Brother Chen Kai’s “Volunteer Army” series consists of three films.

Chen Cheng read the script outline of "Volunteer Army".

It can be said.

In the trilogy.

Each of these movies is better than the last.

The first part has broken 10 billion, which means that the second and third parts in the future will definitely not be bad.

If it works better.

The third part broke 20 billion.

The third part may even break 30 billion.

Feng Xiaogang, who had been feeling rather depressed, also found some feeling.

In these few years.

His works such as "Mr. Six" and "Youth"... performed quite well.

Both of them broke the 10 billion box office.

There is also Chen Sicheng who previously sought investment from Chen Cheng.

"Detective Chinatown" directed by him.

The first film performed well, grossing 9 million yuan.

The second part was a huge hit, grossing 35 billion.

Han Han behind him also performed well.

After "See You Tomorrow", he continued to produce several works.

They are "Surfing the Waves" and "Speeding Life" respectively.

One of them grossed over 10 billion yuan, and the other grossed over 20 billion yuan.

The rise of these young directors also represents the successors of the domestic film industry.
Although some media reporters felt a little uncomfortable when they said such things.

They feel.

It seems that Chen Cheng is not very old.

But they don’t get hung up on it.

Although Chen Cheng is not very old.

But Chen Cheng’s current status is not comparable to that of a group of young directors.

Don't say it's them.

Even the three major domestic directors, Chen Kai, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang...them.

Now no one dares to compare them with Chen Cheng.

no way.

I can still talk about the past.

There is a huge difference now.

Compare it with the past.

We can only compare the length of time we have worked.

……

2018 is here soon.

this year.

Chen Cheng has no works.

It’s not that there are no works.

The main thing is that Chen Cheng changed the schedule of releasing one work a year to releasing one work every two years.

But this year.

The two works that Chen Cheng had previously invested in were both released one after another.

One is called "Operation Red Sea".

One is called "The Wandering Earth".

Operation Red Sea was directed by Dante Lam.

Chen Cheng had previously worked with Dante Lam on Operation Mekong River.

The performance was explosive.

a few years later.

Dante Lam is ready to go it alone.

Chen Cheng was very supportive.

When asked what kind of film he wanted to make.

He said he wanted to make a military film.

have to.

This is after watching Wolf Warrior.

Although Lin Chaoxian felt a little embarrassed when he said it.

But Chen Cheng still supported it very much.

You can’t be too overbearing when making a movie.

Just because Chen Cheng made a military film, it doesn’t mean others can’t make one.

Even though Chen Cheng knew.

Lin Chaoxian decided to shoot Operation Red Sea after watching Wolf Warrior, directed by Chen Cheng, which became extremely popular.

otherwise.

He doesn't dare to make such a film.

But there is no problem at all.

Chen Cheng has always respected the market's choice.

Not to mention.

Chen Cheng knew.

Lin Chaoxian’s “Operation Red Sea” is different from the “Wolf Warrior” series.

If the Wolf Warrior series is a military film like a superhero.

Then "Operation Red Sea" is much more realistic.

In this film.

He has no so-called superman, nor any so-called hero.

The people here are all flesh and blood.

It hurts when you get hit.

Being shot will kill you.

If you are injured by a bomb, blood and flesh will fly everywhere.

As a result, Lin Chaoxian's "Operation Red Sea" performed very well.

Although not as good as Wolf Warrior.

But it also earned 40 billion at the box office.

"The Wandering Earth" is the work of director Guo Fan.

Ok.

Guo Fan is considered a director under Chen Cheng.

Back then, Guo Fan followed Chen Cheng and went to Hollywood to work as an assistant director.

Some years later.

Guo Fan had a new idea.

He wants to make a Chinese version of a science fiction film.

Although he knew that such an idea was ridiculous.

But he found out.

Chen Cheng actually supported me very much.

then.

It was that simple to succeed.

Although Guo Fan does not have much directing experience.

But as soon as "The Wandering Earth" was released, the box office also reached over 40 billion yuan.

and.

Guo Fan also revealed it to the outside world.

There is not just one The Wandering Earth, but three.

As for the second and third parts.

Let the audience look forward to it.

……

Oh.

correct.

this year.

Chen Cheng made a big production.

This work is called "Changjin Lake".

There are two parts to this work.

However, Chen Cheng did not plan to shoot it himself.

He also served as producer.

As for who the director is.

Chen Cheng found three people.

They are Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, and Lin Chaoxian.

We looked for Brother Chen Kai because he has a good view of the overall situation.

Tsui Hark is very good at telling stories.

Lin Chaoxian is very knowledgeable about large-scale shots.

but.

Filming has always been difficult.

Especially a war film like this one.

Even though Chen Cheng was the producer, he was exhausted on the set because of this film.

Fortunately, I have been filming for so many years.

Chen Cheng also has experience in this area, and everything was filmed in an orderly manner.

finally.

The filming of "Changjin Lake" took half a year to complete.

……

someday.

Chen Cheng went to watch Zhang Xiaofei's crosstalk.

Ok.

So many years have passed.

Xiao Fei also gained a foothold in the field of crosstalk.

Although the reputation is not that good.

But when he collaborated with Jia Ling, there were quite a few classic crosstalk sketches.

"Xiao Fei, you are awesome! Your classmate Chen Chengshi is really amazing. I heard that he has just finished filming a new movie."

"Did you mean Chosin Reservoir?"

"That's right. The production cost is 10 billion. How much box office revenue is needed to recover the cost? My goodness, if I can make a movie with a box office of over 10 billion, I will thank the heavens and the earth."

The one who spoke to the little bandit in a more exaggerated manner was Jia Ling.

But don't want to.

At this time, Chen Cheng suddenly came to the backstage of their performance.

Chen Cheng said, "In that case, Jia Ling, I plan to ask you to make a movie."

"what."

"I."

"Correct."

"what movie?"

"Hello, Li Huanying."

"Hey, you know my mom's name?"

"Ha ha……"

Chen Cheng smiled.

Then he looked at the dazed Xiao Fei and said, "Xiao Fei, I promised you before. One day, I will ask you to be the leading actress in my movie. I wonder if you are interested in this movie."

……

2019 years.

The first film of The Battle at Lake Changjin was released.

No surprises.

He broke the previous box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2" and also refreshed the Chinese box office record.

It is even more than ten billion more than the box office in the previous life.

Correct.

That’s 70 billion.

of course.

This number caused an incredible sensation in the country.

But this kind of thing happened to Chen Cheng too many times.

After being surprised for a moment, everyone calmed down.

Many people feel depressed when they sigh.

It is said that Chen Cheng continues to create new box office records.

But he appears less and less in front of the camera.

This made everyone excited and feel extremely regretful.

"It would be great if Chen Cheng could show up again."

"Yeah, I want to, too."

"Forget it. Chen Cheng is so busy. Besides, with his current status, he doesn't need to show his face at all."

"This too."

Many people sighed.

but.

What everyone didn't expect was.

Chen Cheng, who everyone thought would never show his face again, finally showed up.

No.

Still showed off a lot of face.

some day.

A group of fans noticed that there was suddenly a sensation in the media.

It is said.

There is a TV series coming out.

Many fans found it strange.

It’s just a TV series, how could it be so sensational?
but.

Wait till they see the poster.

I found the name Chen Cheng on the poster.

And this work is called "The Untamed".

The character played by Chen Cheng is none other than the Yiling Patriarch Wei Wuxian.

(End of the book)

===
PS: Brothers, "Rebirth: I Work Extra Time on the Crew" is officially finished today.

Somewhat emotional.

how to say.

This book performed very poorly before it was first released on the shelves.

Later it was renamed.

However, Dabai thinks this work still has many highlights.

At least this book is a little different from some other entertaining works.

So Dabai persisted.

The result is ok.

The results are getting better and better.

It's just a pity.

After the results were good, the book came to an end.

Dabai was actually a little reluctant.

But the story has been told.

If I go on, it will become a little confusing.

It’s better to be straightforward.

It’s time to finish the book.

Then.

Still the old rules.

Dabai takes a rest for a while.

Next book.

See you soon.

Other.

Let me tell you about it.

Although the book is finished.

But brothers, don't remove this book from your shelf.

When the new book is released, Dabai will inform everyone in this book.

If it is removed, everyone might not know that Dabai has published a new book.

Thanks brothers for the support.

Happy New Year to everyone in advance.
