Chapter 122: The Rebirth of a Filmmaker

Some of Gao Zhisen's attitudes made Meng Chao very satisfied.

After all, who wouldn't like a capable and loyal subordinate?

In Gao Zhisen's view, Meng Chao is a genius in making movies, and "Happy Ghost" is just Meng Chao's entry into the film industry, but his boldness can be seen everywhere.

Meng Chao, who had so much money at that time, dared to use an ordinary man like Huang Baiming to play the leading role, and let Gao Zhisen, a newcomer, serve as the director, and let Guan Zhilin, a girl with no acting skills at all, play the heroine, which shows how strong his grasp of his movie script Cheng Dù is!

is such a grassroots team, but in the end he made a 50 million box office "Happy Ghost", which made Meng Chao famous in the first battle, Gao Zhisen and many friends boasted about this battle, after all, he was also a participant in it.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Zhisen admires Meng Chao very much, after "Happy Ghost", many filmmakers with strong speculative psychology in China have chosen to follow the trend, but the direction of their follow-up is mainly to shoot ghost films, such as "Happy Zombie" by the toilet king He Dacheng was forcibly drawn less than a month after its release, and lost at least 8 million, becoming a laughing stock in the industry!

And the reason is that these people can't see through the success of "Happy Ghost", in addition to the warmth and funny, the content and comedy of the little girls on campus itself are the real secret of the success of this movie!

So after getting the script of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", Gao Zhisen quickly studied it.

In the end, Gao Zhisen found that Meng Chao did write the script very accurately, and in the first part, the happy ghost was reincarnated, and he became the son of Lin Xiaohua played by Li Lizhen and the flower man played by Meng Chao!

Then the protagonist at the beginning of the sequel is naturally placed on this son, that is, the happy ghost who has grown up, but he has already become a human.

Meng Chao changed his pseudonym to Kang Sengui, but in fact, the homophony is different or is it a "happy ghost"?

And the plot is placed in more than 20 years, after Kang Sengui grew up, he entered a girls' school and became a classroom after graduating from Normal University, which is the kind of school where Li Lizhen, who played his mother in the first part.

In fact, in the first part of "Happy Ghost", Lin Xiaohua, played by Li Lizhen, had a relationship with Meng Chao so quickly, and had a relationship with a child.

As for the plot of the second "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", the first thing is that a male protagonist enters a school that only accepts girls, and this theme sounds exciting.

And because it is a girls' school, the happy girl group jointly cultivated by Meng Chao and Huang Baiming naturally came in handy, and five girls played roles in it, such a setting can facilitate Meng Chao to make his little girls popular, which shows his mastery in writing scripts.

Of course, in order to increase the highlights, Meng Chao added the setting of his previous life, so that Kang Sengui came into contact with the remnant soul of his previous life and had superpowers, so that it became the first part with all the due blockbuster elements, and it was this that made Gao Zhisen admire Meng Chao so much!

……

Most of the programs at the premiere of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" basically focused on the happy girl group, which was originally a movie with campus comedy as a selling point, and the biggest attraction is undoubtedly the many girls from the girls' school in it.

In the movie, the heroic Yuan Jieying, the cute and funny Luo Mingzhu, the beautiful mixed-race Bai Anni, the pure and charming Chen Jialing, and the elegant beauty Zhao Yazhi, who decided to join Genesis Film Company when "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" was filmed for a third of the time, she played the female teacher who the male protagonist admired very much.

And it is worth mentioning that the actor who originally played her boyfriend in the movie was Huang Jinshen, who was her second husband!

However, it is worth mentioning that in order for the husband and wife to sign a contract with Genesis Film Company, in order for the two to have better development in the future, Zhao Yazhi actually took the initiative to touch Meng Chao's house in Yanjing Film and Television City in the middle of the night.

In the end, Meng Chao is not a willow Hui, for this kind of good thing sent to the door, he naturally will not shirk, anyway, Zhao Yazhi is originally a worthy actress, as for her husband, although he is a little less malleable, but he was born with a villain face, and it is not a problem to mix a few villain roles in Meng Chao's future movies.

Although the premiere of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" was not as sensational as "The True Color of Heroes" and "The Wrong Car", it was also worth media coverage!

The reason is that this movie is produced by Genesis Film Company, and Meng Chao is the producer and screenwriter of the film, and this movie is also the sequel to Meng Chao's debut film filmed for the first time last year, which occupies a large position in Meng Chao's film career.

And "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is different from "The True Colors of Heroes" after all, "The True Colors of Heroes" is generally more suitable for adults, especially men.

But the movie "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is more targeted, and it faces a large audience, basically down to eight years old, and it doesn't seem to be much of a problem until the age of eighty, so it can be said that it is more broad in terms of audience.

In the end, the box office of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" has exceeded 8 million on the first day, which is much stronger than the first part.

After all, when the first part was released, the government had not yet begun to crack down on the free version, so many netizens had already seen the free version and knew that this was not a work that cheated money, so when the sequel was released, because it was really difficult to find the free version, many people simply went to the cinema to support.

This also proves from one side how hard the free version is a blow to filmmakers, if the first movie hits the street at the box office, who would dare to make a second one?

Just like the "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: The Demon Sect Master" cooperated by Li Lianjie and Wang Jing in the parallel world, at that time, because the piracy industry in Xiangjiang began to rise, and the audience was tired of watching martial arts movies, the result was that the classic work of the director zhì did not do well at the box office, and the sequel was stillborn, and many fans were waiting for Zhang Wuji to find the plot after Zhao Min went to Dadu, but they never saw it!

And Meng Chao's first movie, if it weren't for his open-mindedness and good songs in hand, Shun Lì used the Youth Innovation Competition to make his name known and attract many audiences to enter the cinema to watch "Happy Ghost", then it may be difficult for his first movie to make much profit, and because of the disadvantage, Meng Chao's development will be much slower!

So in an era where it's hard to find a free version on the Internet, filmmakers can be said to have ushered in a new life!
