Chapter 278: Back to America

Chen Tian is waiting for the news of Donnie Yen's return, once Donnie Yen brings back the news of a private reconciliation, then Chen Tian has the information to turn the current passive situation into a favorable situation.

July 17, the eleventh day since the official start of "Raid" on July 7, is also the third day that the crew of "Raid" suspended filming.

"How is it?" Yuan Heping saw Donnie Yen coming out of Zhou Yi's ward, and immediately asked with concern.

He hopes that Donnie Yen can complete the reconciliation in private, even if it doesn't matter if it costs a little more.

Donnie Yen's face was ugly, but Yuan Heping knew that such a face showed the good side.

He knew what Donnie Yen's personality was, and it was not easy for Donnie Yen to bow his head and apologize.

Pulling his face at this moment is likely to be the completion of the apology, because he lowered his head to apologize and let Donnie Yen pull his face at the moment.

Yuan Heping waited for Donnie Yen to open his mouth and tell him what he wanted to hear.

He agreed to a private chat to clarify the current situation. Donnie Yen gritted his teeth, his cheeks tense with anger.

Although he guessed this result, Yuan Heping was still relieved to hear this answer.

"As long as it is solved, throw the rest to the back of your mind, and use it as a mirror in the future to remind yourself not to commit it again, and now hurry up and tell Chen Tian. Yuan Heping said kindly.

Donnie Yen nodded, although he lost face, it was much better than apologizing in front of the public.

"Director Chen, he agreed to go private, but he asked for 200,000 yuan for mental damage, and then 100,000 for nutrition. Donnie Yen did not say the final price.

In fact, he privately agreed to give Zhou Yi 100,000 yuan, but he asked Zhou Yi not to sue Chen Tian for giving the money.

"300,000, this dozen is really expensive. Why don't I find someone to beat me?" Chen Tian snorted coldly. He naturally knew that Zhou Yi was overpriced. If it was in the United States, he would never have paid for it, but now he chose the crew to come up with this money.

"Just when he did the advertising and publicity money for the film, Zidan, I have some publicity ideas, and everyone will have a meeting in an hour, you call your master!"

Chen Tian watched Donnie Yen leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 300,000 is a lot, it is only a fraction of the amount compared to the publicity cost required for the film.

And this incident has made "The Raid" appear on the pages of major media outlets, and the media attention to "The Raid" continues.

Now that it has been solved, Chen Tian can also take out the thoughts in his heart.

"Raid" Chen Tian wants a sense of realism and fighting to the flesh. What you want is to make the audience's adrenal glands rush and surge.

And gore is undoubtedly one of the ways to stimulate the body's adrenal secretion to speed up, and Chen Tian's blood bag is based on the 2015 Hollywood method.

The similarity between blood packs and human blood is almost 100%, even if many blood packets are very realistic now, but you can still feel the gap in front of the camera.

The focus is on the realism and bloody vigor of "The Raid", which is what Chen Tian came up with when he looked at the blood bag.

Similar to the films he directed in the past, the audience of "The Raid" also has certain limitations.

And Chen Tian can imagine that although "The Raid" does not have foul language, the bloody scenes are basically certain that the film will be rated R after it is submitted for review.

R-rated films contain some adult content, with a lot of sex, violence, drug use, and other inappropriate scenes for children, as well as some swear words and lines.

For those under the age of 17, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to enter the theater.

It sounds like the film has a limit that could affect the box office. But in fact, many R-rated films can't compare with other films at the highest box office, but they have a fairly fixed audience.

So much so that some films in later generations were deliberately edited into R-rated films after they were shot. In order to attract audiences who like R-rated movies into theaters.

"The Raid" doesn't have swear lines, and there are no sex and drug scenes, but there are some gore scenes in the film.

These shots are crucial for Chen Tian at this moment, and Chen Tian needs to use them to promote "The Raid".

An hour later, the Raid crew reached a unanimous goal.

The final shoots will be restarted tomorrow, while Chen Tian will reshoot some shots, with a focus on blood.

For example, in the gun headshot and hammer headshot scene at the beginning of the film, Chen Tian planned to reshoot it, focusing on the bloody scenes.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Tian held a press conference at the Hilton Hotel where the crew stayed, which was attended not only by the Chinese domestic media but also by two reporters from the United States on the other side of the ocean.

"Director Chen, the crew's big-name incident is getting worse, don't you have anything to say?"

"Director Chen, there is news that the staff who were beaten were once in danger of life, how will you deal with the perpetrators?"

And the "Hollywood Reporter" reporter Pixon, who rushed to Huaxia, stood up after this flurry of Mandarin questions: "Justin, the American audience said that they want to boycott "The Raid", do you have anything to respond?"

Walker, a reporter from "Variety" who came to China with Pixen, stood up next: "Director Justin, do you think "The Raid" will be the darkest moment of your directorial career?

Under the miracle that each of your films has grossed over 100 million in North America, do you feel the pressure on this film?"

The reporter's questions were positive, which Chen Tian would like to see.

Sitting on Chen Tian's left is Zhou Yi, one of the parties, and on the right is Donnie Yen.

Chen Tian looked at the reporters in the audience and showed a relaxed smile.

"I know you must be wondering how bad things are, but I'm really sorry you've been taken advantage of by some media with perverse ideas. Chen Tian's words suddenly calmed down the conference room.

"The media reports are too exaggerated, and there is no factual report at all, and I think some media friends should improve their professionalism.

What the people need is the truth, not the illusion, and I am very responsible to say that some of the reports in the newspapers are completely absent.

Our crew did have some quarrels because of some left-leaning opinions, but there was no so-called big name at all, and we didn't do anything. ”

Chen Tian did not wait for the reporter to ask questions, looked at the crowd in the audience, raised his right index finger, and showed a confident smile: "You will see an absolute visual impact film, "Raid" will make all the viewers who love action movies crazy, I believe they will be willing to scream."

However, as the director of the film, I would like to remind you to be mentally prepared, because you will see the most realistic scenes.

If you choose to forgo the theater, then I guarantee you'll regret your decision. ”

Chen Tian's words shocked the reporters in the audience, although many directors have said such things.

But Chen Tian never said anything big, and it didn't look like a joke at all, Peterson and Walker excitedly wrote it down, they were looking forward to the moment when Chen Tian was slapped in the face by his words.

"We're making the most realistic action movies possible, and there's a technology that's going to revolutionize the world of cinema. ”

Chen Tian's words, the voice fell, and the audience was completely silent.

A technology that revolutionized the world of cinema, this phrase detonated the scene like a depth charge.

No matter how the reporters in the audience asked, Chen Tian resolutely did not say any technology.

When the media frantically followed up and the audiences in China and North America were actively discussing on the Internet, "The Raid" completed all the filming in two days.

Chen Tian will also start his journey back to the United States, while the post-production of "The Raid" is in full swing, and Chen Tian will participate in the sixth annual Teen Choice Awards on August 8. (To be continued......)
