Chapter 234: Chen Xiao, Your Taste Has Declined
The filming base that Sun Xutao found was converted from a resistance factory, and this base basically had to connect the crew of five or six movies every year.
What war films, literary films, romance films, genres you can't imagine at all.
Hospitals, schools, factories, and venues are all in the same place.
And now it is what the hospital looks like, so it is necessary to change the hospital into a school, not too much, just renovate and rectify the first two floors.
This will take a few more days, so if you want to shoot, you can only shoot the later scenes first.
The only point is that "Charlotte's Troubles" is a summer drama, and although the weather is a little warmer now, the temperature is still very low, so these are all going to be hard during filming.
But these are all quite normal.
Now, if you start filming, you can wait until the time of the release in the summer, and then the audience will feel more immersed.
Chen Xiao regrets it a little now, when he was making a movie, he thought about shooting it himself, but he completely forgot the time, thinking about wearing a short sleeve to shoot on a cold day, it was really enough to suffer.
But now there is no way to regret it, the actors have been selected, he can't leave the burden and do it.
On March 6, the film's press conference and kick-off banquet was held in the Hengdian VIP Building, and media from all walks of life were invited in addition to the director and leading actors.
Chen Xiao didn't want to come, but after thinking about it, he still came, after all, many media may also come because of him.
If he hadn't attended, the conference would have been much less impressive.
Sure enough, when Chen Xiao arrived, the eyes of the media in the seat were all attracted by him, but none of them came.
Next, there will be a special interview session, and everyone is qualified in formal settings, and generally will not break the rules.
Chen Xiao tidied up his handsome hair, and then shook hands with the district leader next to Sun Xutao.
"There are a lot of reporters here today. After sitting down, Chen Xiao opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
Sun Xutao said: "There are a lot, there are CCTV movie channels and TV stations, as well as broadcasters, newspapers, magazines, websites, and some media reporters in Yong. ”
The press conference officially began, first the host introduced the work, then the district leader took the stage to make an opening speech, and then Chen Xiao and others came to the stage to make some brief speeches.
The main thing is to talk about the general situation of this movie, the roles played by the actors, how the crew is prepared, and so on.
Chen Xiao held a bunch of microphones in his hand: "To put it simply, my movie is a product of YY, which can be said to be unrealistic, but it can be said that almost everyone has such a wish, if one day we can go back to the past, then how should we live?"
There is no regret medicine in the world, but it is in this movie, and it can be reborn more than ten years ago, this is a magical theme, but I hope everyone can look at it with a comedic eye, and it would be better if you could understand something in the movie. ”
After Chen Xiao was the last to speak, the next step was the reporter's question session.
"May I ask Chen Xiao, you invested in the filming of "Death is Coming" after "Crazy Stone", and now you are preparing "Death is Coming 2" and "Resident Evil", these movies are highly anticipated, but at this time you started filming this comedy movie again, does this mean that your taste has declined again?"
Chen Xiao has prepared a lot of movies during this time, and they are all big-budget movies.
In the film and television industry, not only are there contempt circles between various industries, just like those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who make TV series look down on those who engage in variety shows.
In the film circle alone, there are also contempt chains, but many of them are added to themselves by the audience.
For example, the audience who watches literary films looks down on those who watch commercial films.
Chen Xiao is also here, those netizens originally thought that Chen Xiao had recently made these movies exciting enough, and the proper blockbuster production, although no one has been released yet, but the publicity released by the official Weibo from time to time is also full of shock.
A scene that has been done for months with just one shot, but only appeared for less than five seconds, and so on.
Needless to say, it's this kind of movie, and it's worth the ticket price after watching it.
The filming of "Bleach 1" has been completed, and now the filming of "Bleach 2" has begun, and a "Resident Evil" has been added, which is a Chinese-style Hollywood blockbuster production center.
What now?
If you don't shoot a good blockbuster, why do you go to make any comedy?
Netizens especially wailed about this, what 'Chen Xiao, you have fallen', 'Chen Xiao is coming to make money again' and other topics continue to rise.
"Charlotte's Troubles" is also being promoted now, but there is a boycott under the official Weibo, and an expectation under the other two movies, that is, it is completely opposite.
Now this reporter throws this question, that is, it is completely aimed at the hot topic.
Chen Xiao is very calm about this: "Actually, I also want to make blockbusters, but as we all know, I am very poor now, and all my money is used to make movies, and the filming of "Charlotte's Troubles" is also prepared by me with only 20 million left, so please support my movies more, so that I can have money to make new big-budget movies." ”
Are you poor?
Also well known?
The reporter looked at Chen Xiao blankly, and didn't expect Chen Xiao to say such a thing at all.
Who doesn't know that you make the most money, and you are still crying poor, so how much money do you have to give you so that you are not poor, is it difficult to give you all the money in the bank?
I think it should be changed to as we all know, you have the thickest skin.
Another reporter asked: "Chen Xiao, how much do you expect the box office of this movie to be?"
It's the box office again, and basically every interview about the movie can't get around this topic.
Chen Xiao thought for a while: "I think the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" can exceed one billion. ”
"How much?" the reporter thought he had misheard, and hurriedly asked again.
"A billion dollars. ”
This reporter made sure that he really heard it clearly this time, and he was not wrong, it was a billion yuan, don't you know that everything you say will be reported?
Are you ready to be slapped in the face?
"Mr. Chen Xiao, but your investment in this movie is only 20 million?"
Chen Xiao said with a smile: "The investment in movies has never been a problem, the key is the plot and shooting techniques, as long as the movie is made well, small-budget movies can also become box office dark horses." ”
The reporter asked weakly: "Is it like "Crazy Stone"? But now you can't use the ticket to make up for it. ”
Chen Xiao said: "That's all crooked ways, this time I will fight in a dignified manner." ”
The reporters silently wrote down what Chen Xiao said.
Crooked?
You said it yourself, and it has nothing to do with us.
But can this "Charlotte Troubles" really break through one billion?
If you are slapped in the face, it doesn't matter to us, and we didn't dig a hole, it's all you who said it yourself.
