Chapter 224: Interview (II)
Ren Qian is also very sensitive to the news, and every question she asks is very crucial, "It's convenient to disclose, how much income does "People in Jianghu", your ticket-playing work, bring you a lot?" ”
"This ......" Chen Ge thought for a while, and then nodded slightly: "This is no problem, let me do the math, that movie will probably bring me a net income of five million." ”
"So much?" Ren Qian exclaimed.
"Quick, write it down" Liang Meijun's face was happy, and she hurriedly urged her subordinates to write it down. Good guys, this is a bonus. Chen Ge wrote the first script "People in the Rivers and Lakes" by himself, which brought him a huge return, this is the only report, "Chen Bao" won this news, needless to say that the newspaper will definitely sell a lot of copies.
Of course, in fact, Chen Ge said that the income of more than 5 million yuan, including his salary for starring in "People in the Rivers and Lakes".
Liang Meijun immediately became more curious, although he had not seen the movie "People in the Rivers and Lakes", but he was also a media person, he was fully prepared before coming to interview Chen Ge today, the box office situation of many movies directed by Mu Hai in the past few years, he knew it in his heart, every movie did not have a box office of more than 100 million, until "People in the Rivers and Lakes" soared, and the box office of 300 million became one of the best directors in the country.
"Editor-in-chief, it's all recorded," said one of the people who accompanied him.
The beautiful reporter Ren Qian's eyes were like water, and her cherry lips squirmed: "Chen Ge is really good, and he earned more than five million yuan in the first movie with tickets." ”
She seemed to be a little unconvinced, and there was such a smell in her tone.
Chen Ge smiled slightly, "It's just a mistake, if it weren't for the kindness of Director Mu Hai and Director Lu Liang, I wouldn't have come to this day." ”
"Then how did you come up with the idea of making your own movie?"
"How to say it, I said at the beginning that when I was filming "People in the Rivers and Lakes", I thought of making a movie of my own. After the success of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", I began to write the script, and at the same time pulled investment, and when I got an investment, my script of "East Evil and West Poison" was half completed, so I wrote while shooting, and at first I was a little worried that the script was not very good while shooting, but I didn't expect the final effect to be surprisingly good. In fact, when I was filming people in the rivers and lakes, I felt that just writing the script could no longer satisfy me, and I began to want to make my own movies. Although I followed Lu Liang, Mu Hai and other directors before, I watched them make movies. But it was the first time to be a director by himself, and it happened that Director Lu was very optimistic about the story of "East Evil and West Poison" at that time, so he became the assistant director of "East Evil and West Poison". Later, I created a new script called "Infernal Affairs", so I asked for investment, and finally the investor helped me contact director He Man......"
Chen Ge recalled He Man's reluctance at the beginning, and the smile on his face grew, "Director He Man was still a little reluctant at that time, but later he still agreed to help me." ”
"What happened to make Director He Man have such a big change?" Ren Qianzheng heard it, and when she saw him, she couldn't help but ask.
Chen Ge continued: "After about half a month of filming, Director He Man finally knew what kind of story I wanted to film,"
Ren Qian asked a few more questions about investing in films, and even asked how much money he had made in the past year, but unfortunately he was blocked by Chen Ge's ambiguous words, and when he saw that he didn't want to answer, Liang Meijun coughed, suggesting that she turned the question in other directions.
“…… In fact, many people admire you, not only because of your blockbuster again and again in the past year. And your success in the love field was published in many newspapers some time ago, and you had a lot of scandals this year, and you were even photographed at Xiangjiang University for a girl, are you dating? ”
This question is not easy to answer, Chen Ge's head turned quickly for a while, and then he replied slowly: "I'm sorry, I can't disclose personal ** issues"
"Director Chen" Liang Meijun suddenly interjected, looking at him with a faint smile, "In fact, some time ago, the media has found out the true identity of the heroine of the scandal at Xiangjiang University, her name is Hou Xiaonan, her identity is not simple, we have interviewed her, and she has admitted the relationship between you and her."
Chen Ge frowned, she admitted it?
His mouth opened slightly and was about to open his mouth to answer, when he suddenly saw a faint smile on the corner of Liang Meijun's mouth, and his heart was shocked.
"It's so dangerous, I almost fell for it"
Chen Ge scolded in his heart, he didn't believe that Hou Xiaonan would be a person who opened his mouth, so there was only one possibility left, it was the "Chen Bao" who was lying.
replied quietly: "I can't disclose my personal ** problem, I am very good friends with her, I think you may be mistaken......"
Seeing that he still didn't answer this question, Liang Meijun could only give up, glanced at Ren Qian who was sitting on the side, and motioned for her to continue to ask below.
"I heard you were preparing for a movie recently. Can I ask you about this movie? ”
Of course, the name of the film is "The True Color of Heroes", and the genre is still a commercial film, which is a story about brotherhood and revenge. There are a lot of action scenes, and more of them are human anatomy, but the specifics are for everyone to taste for themselves after the movie is released. "Spoilers are the worst thing, Chen Ge will definitely not reveal the storyline in advance, so as to arouse everyone's curiosity and expectations, and to achieve the early publicity effect.
"In terms of investment, I will invest 20 million yuan, plus publicity and post-processing, the investment in the whole film has reached more than 25 million."
Chen Ge avoided spoilers, Ren Qian naturally knew this, she didn't ask, although there was a tape recorder recording the conversation between the two, but she still wrote down some of the highlights of the interview with a pen.
Holding a pen and quickly jotting down on paper.
The interview was about to end, and then, Chen Ge continued to answer some of Ren Qian's questions. It's basically all about his new movie, including the starring role, how much box office he expects to hope, and so on.
This is the end of the interview.

is still the post-production team of "East Evil and West Poison".
Editing with the staff, soundtrack, and making some manual adjustments to the light and color of the picture, Chen Ge lives in a busy life every day, and when the time comes to the 46th day of post-production, all the post-production work is finally over as expected, and the 120-minute release version of "Infernal Affairs" is born, and the production cost is fixed at 22 million.
These 120 minutes of images have poured the efforts and efforts of countless people, compared with the original version, the overall construction of the story has not changed much, the storyline has not changed, but there are many differences in rhythm and details, the time of the film has increased, and there are more real details and changes in mentality, Chen Ge feels that the overall natural fullness has been achieved, and there is no sense of hurry: in terms of soundtrack, Chen Ge still proceeds according to the original version, and strives to make the film no different in style from the previous life.
