Chapter 20: Death Is Coming!
After returning to Beijing, Gao Yuanyuan went home, while Chen Yongren went to the studio, and was discovered by a reporter who was squatting downstairs, and then ran over for an interview. You must know that it has been more than two months since "Looking for the Dragon" went offline, and although Chen Yongren has disappeared, the rivers and lakes are full of his legends!
And this reporter is also squatting here every day, after all, it's almost the New Year, no matter how much you Chen Yongren wastes, you won't even ask the studio, right? Although Chen Yongren was wearing a hat and glasses, the reporter still recognized it at once, Chen Yongren also sighed in his heart, fortunately, although there are many reporters, it has not yet reached the point where it is a person, this is not that he and Gao Yuanyuan stayed in Sanya for a month and were not photographed by any media reporters, but it is mainly related to the fact that the two of them are also in the villa, and as long as they go out, they are very well disguised, so they have not been discovered.
However, the reporter was not too reckless in this regard, and Chen Yongren allowed him to interview alone. I guess I'm also a little excited, and I speak a little bit of speech.
Chen Yongren said to him: "Don't rush, take your time, take it easy and ask, you can ask two questions." After all, Chen Yongren was not so idle as to chat with reporters below, so he was given the opportunity to ask two questions.
Chen Yongren's easy-going attitude also calmed down the excited reporter, turned on the recorder, and asked: "Hello Director Chen, my name is Wang Kai, a reporter from Xingguang Daily." Since "Looking for the Dragon" went offline, you haven't appeared in public, and some time ago you made a big note on Weibo, the Grim Reaper is coming, is this the name of the new movie? And then recently Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is also about to be released in the Spring Festival, as the champion of last year's Spring Festival, do you have any views on "Hero"? Do you think it can break the box office of "Infernal Affairs"? And do you feel a pity that you didn't participate this year?
Chen Yongren replied with a smile: "You are a little greedy, you asked several questions at once" The reporter laughed dryly, "First of all, I am a director, and making movies is my job, so I am also creating new films during this time." And the Grim Reaper is coming, it is indeed the title of my next movie, and now I am back to start preparing for the filming of the movie, and then I didn't pay much attention to the news during this time, so I only knew that Director Zhang's new film "Hero" was about to be released, and I also wish "Hero" here I think the emergence of more and more excellent Chinese films does not depend on one person, but also requires countless directors to continue to shoot and explore, so that Chinese films will rise, and then my movie will be released, and I didn't say where to know the schedule, everything still depends on the progress of film production, so I don't feel anything about the release of no movie in this year's Spring Festival, and finally I wish "Hero" a box office hit!"
"Director Chen, can I ask you another question? What type of movie is "The Grim Reaper" and what is the production budget?" Wang Kai couldn't wait to ask.
"I've just answered a few questions, and now I still have to go up in advance, about the movie, I'll answer them one by one when I get to the launch conference, so let's say goodbye, I'll go up first" Chen Yongren went to the studio after speaking, thinking that it seems that he has to recruit a bodyguard!
Wang Kai watched Chen Yongren leave, he was still a little lost in his heart, he felt that he had a lot of questions that he hadn't asked, but he was satisfied, this was an opportunity for an exclusive interview that countless media had dreamed of, and it was like pie in the sky, it fell on himself, I have to say that I was very excited today, and then rushed back to catch up with the manuscript.
After Chen Yongren came to the studio, he asked Huang Huishan to notify the managers of various departments to hold a meeting.
After five minutes, in the conference room of Longteng Film Studio, all the managers of various departments had arrived, Chen Yongren walked into the conference room, and everyone applauded, after all, the results of "Looking for the Dragon" some time ago can be described as very good.
Chen Yongren looked at everyone: "First of all, next year, the studio's business will be expanded, and a new variety show production department will be established, mainly for the production of variety shows, and TV dramas will also be grasped, Wang Yu is responsible for these two things." Then my new film, "The Grim Reaper", is about to start preparing for filming. I plan to start the film on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and you will prepare for the formation of the crew and some props in the past two days, and Huishan will communicate with you about specific matters. Then, although our studio has not been established for a long time, the rewards and punishments are clear, and I see everyone's contributions. It just so happens that the Spring Festival is approaching, and everyone will be given a red envelope, everyone will have a share, ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 per person, and they will be distributed according to their contributions..."Chen Yongren just finished speaking, and the applause at the bottom was thunderous, because the studio was established not long ago, so they also understood that they did not issue a year-end bonus, but now such a high red envelope has been sent and everyone has a share, and the maximum can be 8,000, which is not low, so every employee who learned the news was elated.
Subsequently, Chen Yongren arranged some more things, and the meeting ended.
The next day, "Starlight Daily" began to use the entire newspaper page to report the first-hand information of yesterday's exclusive interview with Chen Yongren.
"The script of Chen Yongren's new film has been released, and the title of the film is coming!"
"Chen Yongren hopes that Zhang Yimou's "Hero" can surpass last year's Spring Festival champion "Infernal Affairs"
………
"Starlight Daily" carried out full-page coverage with a degree of madness, although only a few questions were interviewed, but after they processed it, there were dozens of questions of various kinds, and the sales of "Starlight Daily" also hit a new high.
With the report of "Starlight Daily", the entertainment industry shook again, and those with Chen Yongren's phone called one after another to ask about the movie, and those who did not have Chen Yongren's phone called Longteng Studio, it can be said that as soon as the news of Chen Yongren's new film came out, other things such as derailment, breakup, etc. were covered by Chen Yongren's limelight.
After the success of the two films, Chen Yongren has now become synonymous with the box office, the outside can't cooperate, and the inside is thinking about how to increase the proportion, such as the light boss saw the news, he immediately called Chen Yongren to ask about the movie, and then talked about increasing the proportion of investment, but all of them were pushed to Wang Yu by Chen Yongren.
At this time, the Internet is also very lively, all kinds of speculations, who will be the protagonist of "The Grim Reaper", and everyone thinks that it will be their own idol. Some people speculate that Chen Yongren's first movie starring are all actors, and the second movie starring is a little famous, so "Death is Coming" is an amateur...
It can be said that Chen Yongren is equal to a hot search, but any news about him is a hot search in seconds, attracting the attention of countless people.
……
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" also quickly entered the preparatory stage, and casting also began.
