Chapter 515: Xu Cheng's Ambition

The most important thing is that Xu Cheng himself has never told anyone that he actually starred in such a small-budget comedy movie.

If Chen Feng and An Ruohua hadn't taken the initiative to come and watch, maybe they wouldn't have known that there was still him in this film.

After all, Xu Cheng was originally a well-known TV actor, especially after starring in "Crazy Stone", his fame has also been greatly improved, whether it is in the TV circle or in the film industry, he can be regarded as a star.

And not long after filming "Crazy Stone", he received invitations from several film crews one after another, and later heard that he also founded his own film and television studio, and the development should be quite good, but why do you come to make such a small-budget film now?

No one has even told him, as if he is secretly making extra money.

This made Chen Feng feel very puzzled.

Some time ago, Chen Feng has been busy with "The Wandering Earth", and he hasn't paid much attention to some news and news from the outside world, even if he occasionally glances at it, those unimportant news are automatically filtered out by him.

Although An Ruohua has always paid attention to the dynamics of the film market, the volume of "Laughing Journey" in which Xu Cheng participated was too small, even much worse than "Crazy Stone" back then, so in the end, she didn't notice the existence of this film.

In this way, "Laughter Journey" was quietly released.

And then...... actually got good box office results!

It's amazing.

However, at this time, Chen Feng and An Ruohua didn't have time to think about anything, the film has already begun, so let's concentrate on watching the movie first.

……

The plot of the movie is indeed very interesting, with the advent of the October 1st holiday, a middle-level leader of a technology company is preparing to go to the southern island for a vacation, but at the airport he met a cook who went to report to a hotel on the southern island, and the two sat together by mistake and a series of ridiculous things happened.

For various reasons, the two of them switched from taking a plane, to taking a train, and finally to a bus, and even got on an ox cart...... In short, a holiday trip that was originally very good turned into a farce, and the protagonist and the cook also chose different ways to deal with things because of their different classes, and this direct contrast between characters and characters can easily generate a lot of jokes.

Overall, the whole film is very interesting and profound, taking into account both commerciality and artistry, and the most important thing is that it is very down-to-earth, so it is natural that this film can achieve good box office results.

In the process of watching the movie, An Ruohua laughed from time to time, and it was obvious that she was also moved by this film.

Chen Feng also looked very happy, but in addition to the joy, he was more surprised and emotional.

This film is almost exactly the same as a classic comedy he watched in the dream world, but there are many changes in many details and different themes, but the overall framework is the same!

It's just amazing.

Moreover, Xu Cheng's performance in this film is very good, but it's a pity that his partner is a little worse, although the acting is qualified, but it is not very outstanding.

Even so, the movie is still very good, and the audience laughs from time to time during the movie, and the atmosphere can be said to be very good.

According to this trend, the box office performance of this film may be a little better.

Under the attack of the two blockbusters "The Wandering Earth" and "Eight Poles", it is a miracle that "Laughing Journey" can have such a performance.

This also reflects that in the current film market, the quality of the film is the core of everything.

……

Even Xu Cheng himself didn't expect that the film he participated in would finally achieve a counterattack at the box office.

To be honest, Xu Cheng's luck was not very good during this time, he began to shift his focus to movies after filming "Crazy Stone", but unfortunately although he became popular with "Crazy Stone", he didn't make any splashes in the few films he took over, and even a few films were not released as scheduled for various reasons.

In this case, the operation of his own film and television studio also encountered difficulties, and in the end he even went to act in a TV series and made some money, which was barely able to survive.

However, Xu Cheng's self-esteem is also very strong, and when he was not very happy, he actually insisted on working hard, and he didn't even say out to ask for help from some friends who usually have a good relationship.

For example, Ni Hao, Chen Feng, and some of his other classmates and friends......

In the end, he even chose to shoot some low-budget films to make money.

Just like the current "Laughing Journey".

Of course, although Xu Cheng has taken on some small-budget films, he also has his own selection criteria, generally speaking, only the script and crew that can satisfy him, he will decide to participate, and at the same time, he also requires the crew to give him a certain right to speak, even including changing the script, participating in the director's production, etc., in this case, he not only made some money, but also further accumulated the professional knowledge needed to make movies.

Although Xu Cheng is a bit miserable now, his ambition is not small.

As early as when he was filming "Crazy Stone" with Chen Feng and Ni Hao, he often found opportunities to communicate with various people in the crew, and at that time he actually had the idea of making his own movie.

It's a pity that the actual situation later made his idea unable to be realized.

However, Xu Cheng has never given up his ideas, just like this time he participated in "Laughter Journey", he benefited a lot from it, and this film actually magically opened the road to a box office counterattack.

It's definitely a good thing for him.

With the foundation of "Crazy Stone" and the proof of this "Laughing Journey", it will become much more convenient for Xu Cheng to make his own movies in the future.

In the past, when he didn't have much successful experience, Xu Cheng also tried to find some investors and wanted others to invest in him, but at that time, without exception, he was ignored by others.

You Xu Cheng, a TV actor starlet, somehow want me to invest tens of millions of dollars in making a movie for you? Isn't this a joke?

In this case, it is strange that Xu Cheng can get investment.

Therefore, Xu Cheng understood a truth very early, if you want others to help you, first of all, you must be able to prove that you can make good results.

Without this kind of foundation, relying on favors alone, I am afraid that we will never be able to go far.

This is also the reason why Xu Cheng has never taken the initiative to ask others for help.

Because the more he cherishes some connections, the more he doesn't want to consume these connections in advance when he doesn't have enough strength.
