The bard joins the entertainment industry

After bidding farewell to Zhou Jielun and others in Singapore, Chen Shuo returned directly to the crew of "Sword Rain".

"Welcome back, Director Chen." Shen Pingchuan and Yang Tianle expressed their warm welcome to Chen Shuo's return.

Chen Shuo put down his things and asked Huang Ying to help him clean them up. He sat on the sofa and asked the two of them: "How is the recent progress? Is there anything going on with the crew?"

Shen Pingchuan said: "The progress is very smooth, there is nothing wrong with it."

Chen Shuo thought about the previous progress. It has been a month and a half since the start of filming, and nearly half of the shooting tasks have been completed so far.

If there are no surprises, it will probably be completed before September.

I just don’t know if I can complete the filming task before Liu Yifei’s birthday.

It’s the best if you can catch up, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. I’m just an assistant action director, and the final ending doesn’t necessarily have to be mine.

"What tasks have been completed so far?" Chen Shuo asked.

I have been busy with promotions these days and have no time to deal with the crew's affairs, so I don't know the progress.

Shen Pingchuan looked through his task record and said: "The 63rd scene has been filmed, and tomorrow's task is to shoot the 96th scene, because Fan Bingbing was injured during the filming the day before yesterday, which delayed the progress for a day."

After listening to the two people's reports, Chen Shuo had a more detailed understanding of the crew's progress. He then reviewed the tasks for tomorrow with the two of them before letting them go back to rest.

He first went to report to Cheng Xiaodong, Zhang Yimou and others.

In the next few days, he stayed in the drama to complete the scheduled filming tasks.

"Initial D" was officially released on June 20, and when Chen Shuo returned to the crew, it was June 24, which happened to be Friday.

The reason why Liu Weiqiang and others and Uni Asia did not premiere the film on Friday is because they did not have much confidence in Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun. Otherwise, the filming would not have been completed last year and the film would have to wait until the summer vacation a year later to be released.

Just to attract a wave of fans of Chen Shuo and the two.

The four days from Monday to Thursday can be regarded as a warm-up. After a wave of publicity, we will see how the market reacts.

With four days of warm-up, "Initial D" has accumulated a wave of reputation.

People who have watched it will feel that Fujiwara Takumi, played by Chen Shuo, defeats the enemy again and again in an almost crushing style, which brings a strong sense of pleasure to people.

Especially when the AE86 with ordinary performance beats FD, DTR, FD and other cars with better performance than it, it is like a master using a useless trumpet to defeat a full-level big one.

It all depends on a strong technical ability.

Of course, no matter how fast the 86 is, it cannot catch up with the Mercedes-Benz, which has become a point of ridicule for everyone.

Zhuang Zhiqiang's adaptation of the script was very successful. He advanced the emotional line between Takumi and Natsuki, and did not let Takumi's character leave the impression of a cuckold or a minotaur.

Moreover, the performances of Chen Shuo and Nagasawa Memi also made the emotional line of the two characters not so unacceptable.

Chen Shuo presented Takumi's ignorance about feelings very well.

And Yamei also showed a mature and stable image, who dares to love and hate.

In order to make a living, she was able to engage in compensated dating, and when she found out that she really fell in love with Takumi, she was able to decisively sever the previous relationship.

Of course, the tragic ending also won the sympathy of many people. She was able to give up her previous good life for love, but when she made up her mind, the relationship between the two broke up, which had a sad and beautiful feeling.

The most important thing is that Nagasawa Memi is beautiful.

There are still a lot of viewers who pursue the justice of appearance, especially the movie's audience, which is mostly young boys.

In this way, the emotional scene between the two did not leave a bad impression on the audience, but was a bonus.

But of course the most attractive thing about racing movies is the racing.

The voluptuous racing girls, the roaring engine sound, and the exciting competition all arouse the adrenaline of the audience.

Especially the drift, it's really cool.

Moreover, under the personal control of Keishi Tsuchiya, the Japanese god of drift, the drift technology presented in the film is very perfect and even more legendary.

Next, during the three days when Chen Shuo was busy with the crew, the box office of "Initial D" ushered in the first wave of explosion.

On June 27, Liu Weiqiang sent him a text message, telling him that the box office in Asia in the first week had exceeded 60 million.

Among them, the mainland box office is 21 million. It is estimated that the total box office in a month will be 70 million, which should not be a problem.

In general, in terms of box office alone, this movie has made a steady profit. As for other aspects, whatever it makes is profit for Asia Pacific.

Ring ring ring~

Chen Shuo picked up his phone and looked at it. It was Liu Weiqiang calling, "Hey, Director Liu!"

"Chen Shuo, did you see it?" Liu Weiqiang's tone revealed unconcealable happiness and relief.

For him, the "Infernal Affairs" series no longer has much value for exploitation, and the success of "Initial D" opened up a new series for him.

According to the current situation, there should be two or three sequels to be filmed.

Of course, the premise is that the next cooperation plan can be negotiated with Japan.

"I saw it." Chen Shuo said sincerely: "Congratulations to Director Liu, he will soon become an international director."

"Hahaha~ I'll take your word for it." Liu Weiqiang laughed and said: "The results in the first week are remarkable, and the company is going to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate our success.

Immediately afterwards, we will go to Japan and Bangkok and other places to launch the second wave of promotion.

Especially in Japan, this is related to the filming of our sequel in the future. "

Chen Shuo has no objection to filming a sequel. If he wants to participate, the entire series will feature him.

Being successful is also a good qualification for him.

"When will Director Liu and Mr. Lin plan to hold a celebration banquet?"

"On this Thursday, after the event, we will go to Japan to promote it."

"Okay, I will definitely participate when the time comes."

There were no twists and turns. The two of them settled the matter in just a few words. Going to Japan for publicity was indeed an important node.

Not only does it mean the situation of the sequel, but the acceptance of the Japanese audience is also a good evaluation for their entire creative team.

After all, "Initial D" originated from Japan, where comics and animations have the largest audience.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuo asked Cheng Xiaodong for leave in advance and rushed to Hong Kong on the 30th to hold a celebration banquet at the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui.

A celebration banquet, almost all the entertainment industry employees in Xiangjiang came.

After all, this is visible to the naked eye. Liu Weiqiang and others have created an industry benchmark comparable to "Infernal Affairs".

It dealt a severe blow to the notion that the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was about to decline and saved the pride of Xiangjiang people.
