The ratings of "Happy Weekend Pie" in Taiwan have always been overwhelming, and once it was broadcast this time, it aroused many people's expectations for "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Zhang Baorong's fame in Taiwan has long been in the ascendant, so to put it bluntly, the promotion of this show will not increase his popularity, and the benefits are naturally the programs "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Happy Weekend Pie".

As for Chen Jialuo, everyone is even less interested in him. That is, a young and talented filmmaker. If you say how much impression you can leave on the audience, it must not be comparable to star artists.

The one who really gained a lot was undoubtedly Wang Xiaoxian. When Taiwanese people saw that they actually had such a beautiful beauty, coupled with the promotional poster and some clips of "A Chinese Ghost Story", her popularity soared in Taiwan and became popular overnight.

"It turns out that he is really a big director from Xiangjiang......" Wu Yulian looked at the TV stupidly, and then quickly rummaged through the cabinets to find the business card left by Chen Jialuo.

……

With the official release of "A Chinese Ghost Story" after a wave of publicity offensive, most of the talk in Taiwan is now about the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Even movie tickets for many time periods are hard to find.

If it is said that in Xiangjiang, "Plan A Sequel", "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are fighting for the dragon. Then in Taiwan, the current box office is completely under the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

As Taiwan's largest film company, Cathay Pacific's distribution influence is huge. They are building momentum to publicize, and the popularity of "A Chinese Ghost Story" will only rise, and it will not lead to a halfway rush to the air.

However, Chen Jialuo, who returned to Xiangjiang, obviously didn't care much about the box office trend of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Taiwan, this movie was already a thing of the past in his eyes, and now he was busy running for his "Prison Storm".

After returning to Xiangjiang, Xu You didn't ask Chen Jialuo what he was doing in Taiwan, and Chen Jialuo didn't have any need to explain. In short, the contract is here, and the new film is about to start, anything that may affect the filming of the film is put aside first.

This time in "Prison Storm", Chen Jialuo wrote and directed himself, and Xu You's nominal producer also made it clear that he would not interfere with his filming. The only thing to pay attention to is the shooting cycle.

"Big guy, are you sure you are serious and didn't talk nonsense?" At the filming scene of the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", Zhou Jin looked at Chen Jialuo in disbelief.

Because part of the scenes about him in the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" are in the United States, Wu Zhisen and Xu have two people to shoot in a group. Now that it is in the late stage, Zhou Jin also rushed back from the United States with Wu Zhisen.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jialuo personally visited the class and invited him to star in "Prison Storm" on the first day of Zhou Jin's return to Xiangjiang for filming, which really caught him off guard.

An excellent commercial film needs to be starred by a big name with box office appeal. This is the norm in the film industry, and it is also the current status quo.

Later generations of To Qifeng said that directors in this period are actually not directors. Film companies and investors don't care about the script, they care about the stars they star. The director is like an assembler, putting together one box office superstar and then making a movie to sell for money, it's as simple as that.

However, many directors with ideas and creative energy don't want to do this, how can they get rid of it? It's not enough to just start your own company, if you want to play the movie you want, you need to have money. Whether it's your own or your investment, there must always be a return.

Johnny To's dry method is to carry out two lines, both making commercial films and making the movies he wants to make, so that he will not have to worry about running out of things to shoot.

Now Chen Jialuo is also accumulating original capital and personal prestige. At this time, with Lei Zhen Cinema Line at his back, with Xu Youtou on his back, he wants to make as many blockbuster movies as possible.

One of the guarantees of a blockbuster movie is that it is a star with huge box office appeal. In recent years, those who really have this box office appeal, in addition to Fang Long and their brothers, belong to Zhou Jin, who emerged with "The True Color of Heroes".

Moreover, Zhou Jin's acting skills are improving rapidly, and it is also very consistent with the script of "Prison Storm", so it is very suitable for him to play.

This year, Zhou Jin has countless film appointments, and he is constantly rushing to shoot every day, Chen Jialuo specially caught him to come to the set of the sequel to "The True Color of Heroes" and invited him personally.

"My Chief Helmsman Chen, you are here to ...... you now"

Seeing that Zhou Jin was a little hesitant, Chen Jialuo quipped: "Ah Jin, it's popular now, so you don't want to take my movie?"

"How so!"

"That's the fear that making my movie will become box office poison again?"

Facing Chen Jialuo's ridicule, Zhou Jin smiled bitterly: "Your "A Chinese Ghost Story" is so popular, the box office is so high, there are more people who want to take your movie, I don't worry about this problem." ”

"Haha, don't worry. I know that you have completed and will shoot more than a dozen movies this year, but the shooting cycle of my film will not be very long, and the script can be said to be tailor-made for you. ”

Chen Jialuo was prepared, took out the script of "Prison Storm" and handed it over: "This is a prison gangster film, if it is successful, we will create a big situation of the prison theme of the Xiangjiang movie." And I also created a very good character for Liang Guohui, if he played it better, I might cut him into the protagonist. ”

Zhou Jin didn't care about Chen Jialuo's ridicule. In fact, there are many things needless to say, no matter how good Liang Guohui is, he will not become the leading actor of a 10 million production. It's not that his acting skills are not good, but the current movie needs Zhou Jin to absorb the box office as the protagonist.

Chen Jialuo continued: "The filming of the whole movie is not hard, and there is no need to run around like "A Chinese Ghost Story". Most of the scenes were filmed in the studio, so you were so relaxed!"

Zhou Jin recommended Liang Guohui at the beginning, but he just had the mentality of trying, hoping to help Ah Hui have a bright future. Just like when he instructed Liu Tianwang, he still hopes that his children can make achievements.

Now that Chen Jialuo has really come up with the script, and he is inviting himself to star with Liang Guohui, Zhou Jin is really hard to refuse.

This year, he has almost to shoot the works of several major film companies, and there are three films under Yidu alone. Chen Jialuo is a friend he once worked with, and Zhou Jin is not worried about making a bad movie.

At this time, it is the time to make money, and good movies and bad movies are actually more dependent on the director's ability, and the script is secondary. Chen Jialuo's "Mong Kok Night" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both well-made and will definitely not become bad movies.

Therefore, in the face of Chen Jialuo's invitation, Zhou Jin finally took the script and said: "Okay, I took this movie." ”
