I have to say that today is really a magical day, after all, according to the usual situation, Chen Xi's mouth is still relatively tight, and he often doesn't really send out some things on things like celebration banquets.

But today he actually said it at such a time after a little questioning by reporters, and it was a blockbuster plan.

Space Two-Part!

He said that one of them should not be a science fiction film, but since it has something to do with space, even if it is not science fiction, there will definitely be a spectacle that many people want to see.

From this point of view, everyone is really looking forward to Chen Xi's next movie.

The reporters were gearing up, and each one wanted to speak directly about his problem.

Finally, a reporter got the opportunity to ask a question and stood up directly, for fear that he would be one step late.

"Director Chen, what kind of movie is your space two-part series? When will the first part start filming, and will there be a connection between the two? Will these two films inherit the feel of Source Code? ”

This series of questions makes Chen Xi a little helpless, he will always be introverted by this group of reporters.

"These two movies are both space movies, because there will be a large part of the content of space in the content of the movie, the first part is relatively realistic theme, and the second part is a future theme, and there is no connection between the two. I have already written the script for the first part, most of the preparations have been completed, and now the filming will officially start at the beginning of next month, and the movie is tentatively scheduled for next year's summer season, probably at the end of July. ”

It's another summer file!

It seems that Chen Xi is also confident.

Of course, he has this foundation, he has this capital.

"What's the name of the movie? What kind of subject is it? ”

Chen Xi smiled mysteriously at this time, shook his head slightly, and said: "These are kept secret for the time being, and I think everyone will see it when we wait until next month's launch conference." ”

"it!"

Many reporters have the urge to spit out a mouthful of old blood, and they spit on Chen Xi's face without reservation, and this slut also hurts!

There is actually a sell-off.

And at times like these.

The feeling of the reporters at this time is: "What the hell, my pants are off, you will show me this?" it! But the next Chen Xi was speechless and no longer revealed.

After a celebration feast. The reporters are all reluctant to give up, and they have always had Chen Xi's new movie in their heads, after all, even if they don't talk about their own work, from another point of view, many reporters present also have a strong interest in the movie, and they especially want to see all the news of Chen Xi's new movie.

And this kind of thinking is not only these reporters, because soon, many fans outside also got the news about this matter, and suddenly, even the diehards of Chen Xi all along conveyed a huge amount of resentment to Chen Xi:

"Director Chen. Don't whet our appetites! We're really looking forward to your new movie! Tell us just that it's okay? ”

"Director Chen is actually starting to sell such a big pass now, it's really crazy! Is it really good for him to do this? ”

"Director Chen, Director Chen, Director Chen! Kneel down and beg to tell us all the news of the new movie as soon as possible, and it is better to tell what the new movie is and what it is. ”

Of course, there are some who ignore this issue for the time being, and are purely surprised and excited by what Chen Xi has done before.

"Chen Xi is going to shoot space movies and sci-fi films again! Space two-part series, this is definitely a precedent for domestic films! Moreover, if it was someone else shooting this genre, I would definitely be photographed badly anyway. But since it was taken by Chen Xi, I don't know what else to say except for two words of expectation. ”

"Chen Xi's space film, science fiction film! It's exciting to think about. The movie of the first person in domestic science fiction movies is definitely worth looking forward to! I just don't know if it will be less than a year between now and next year's summer file, will he really be able to do so many things? Some people can't help but raise their own questions.

In fact, this kind of questioning is actually absolutely fatal to the directors of the first class, but Chen Xi has a lot of things in his head. With a ready-made arrangement, it was easy to do, and he made a film simple and confident. There is no other director who can compare to him.

After just ending this celebration banquet, Chen Xi finally got a positive news that Liu Dehua also joined his new movie, so that the main actors of the new movie have been determined.

One Zhang Ziyi, one Liu Dehua!

These are the two main actors of Chen Xixin's movie.

Of course, in fact, in the final analysis, there are only a few actors in Chen Xi's new movie, and the roles of these two people are determined, and the casting will probably be completed.

Chen Xi's new movie is "Gravity".

This is a Hollywood movie, in fact, it is not strictly speaking a real blockbuster, but in the end, the commercial effect and artistic achievement and recognition are all unimaginable in this movie before.

This movie simply has a dark horse feel to it.

In a rather competitive world market, the appearance of Gravity can almost be said to be a big surprise.

This movie began to quietly appear in front of everyone's eyes with an identity that many people didn't pay much attention to at first, and in the end, it got a super box office of nearly 800 million US dollars worldwide, in fact, this box office has far exceeded everyone's imagination.

The movie basically has no choice in terms of entertainment, the wonderful visual effects, the immersive 3D effect, and the wonderful and compact plot that flexibly uses the principle of "time bomb" have made the entertainment of this movie almost reach the extreme, although a group of young people who pretended to be forced on Douban in later generations so-called trembling and breathing poorly, most of them came from exaggeration, but it is true that the entertainment of this movie is quite strong.

And there's more to this movie than that.

Chen Xi's "Gravity" also has a strong literary nature, the longing for the earth in the middle of the movie, a kind of ultimate concern for human life and evolution, full of philosophy and religion.

And philosophy and religion ...... As the saying goes, the end point of science is philosophy, and the end point of philosophy is religion, and this kind of rise to metaphysics has made "Gravity" artistic enough. Moreover, there are many things in the movie, and there are many metaphors in it, which will make people feel what is hidden in this movie.

Chen Xi has shot many movies before, even "Source Code" with a very good evaluation, and his first "Border Storm" that really broke into everyone's hearts, the scores are not bad, and the reviews are good, but in fact, these two movies. It does not contribute particularly much in terms of true artistry and contemplation.

Of course, no one asks movies to have this kind of contemplation, maybe some people used to have such requirements, but now, movies carry more entertainment.

So these two movies are also quite qualified in terms of entertainment.

As for "Border Storm", there may be a little thinking about Law and people in the middle, which will make everyone think more about this movie.

But what really makes "Source Code" love everyone, and what really makes this movie different and quite magical, is because of the sci-fi idea of this movie. In other places, the artistry of the film is not particularly strong.

Naturally, there is no place to say about the commerciality of "Source Code", but the literary and artistic nature of the movie is not particularly amazing......

But Gravity is different!

These are the reasons why Chen Xi chose this movie.

The investment in the film will probably exceed 200 million, or even more.

Much of Gravity's production has been progressively improved. Including the sound studio has been set up.

Before, Chen Xi was waiting for Liu Dehua's final reply.

In fact, Chen Xi originally wanted to hand over the male lead actor of "Gravity" to Liang Chaowei, but after careful thinking, he felt that Liu Dehua seemed to be more suitable.

Liu Dehua feels more like the role of the actor in "Gravity", and Liang Chaowei didn't have enough schedule at that time. And he and Zhang Ziyi have already played together in "The Grandmaster", and Chen Xi now wants to find some chemistry.

Liu Dehua's acting skills are actually quite good, and his performance in "Dark War" at that time can be said to have reached its peak. However, this person is too handsome, and it is easy for people to ignore his acting skills, but in fact, his acting skills are indeed quite good.

Later, Liu Dehua's acting skills also broke out in "Sister Peach".

For an actor like Liu Dehua, he can really play some roles well, especially specific roles, such as in "Sister Peach", he can play well.

But if Liu Dehua plays some roles that are not very suitable, the feeling he feels when he performs will make people feel that this guy just wants to use these things all the time to illustrate one thing: I am really working hard in acting, and I am really trying to play every kind of role well.

There is a bit of far-fetched feeling in this feeling...... Anyway, there are still certain problems with his performance in "Lost Orphans", although he works really hard, there is still a natural gap between him and the profession of farmer.

But if it is the background of the role of the actor in "Gravity", Liu Dehua is still very competent, but there is no problem.

Liu Dehua was a little hesitant about this role before, in fact, many movies may not be able to be seen from the script, after all, some directors can make bad scripts into good movies, and some directors will make good scripts into bad movies.

So Liu Dehua feels that the script of "Gravity" seems a bit simple, and this is still a movie with a bit of sci-fi feeling, plus he failed to make a "Future Police" before, and he has a natural sense of immunity to science fiction.

Therefore, Liu Dehua really hesitated for a while, until he really figured it out in the past few days.

Actually, sometimes, making a movie really feels like writing a thesis.

A big proposition may not be shot well, sometimes it is better to shoot movies that are relatively small and have nothing to stuff into it.

And Chen Xi can make even a movie like "Border Storm" so well, and he can also make a pretty good "Source Code", so he should be sure enough to shoot "Gravity" now, and it should not be a problem to make this movie well.

Based on some of these ideas, Liu Dehua's sense of expectation for Chen Xixin's movie is also quite sufficient.

As for Zhang Ziyi......

Chen Xi also has a lot of considerations.

Zhang Ziyi, no matter how many people scold her or don't like her, her acting skills are all there, and many hard conditions are also there.

Her acting skills may only be second only to Zhou Xun among the four major Hua Dan, and even in some specific roles, her acting skills are better than Zhou Xun.

Moreover, Zhang Ziyi's overseas popularity is also good......

In fact, among the Chinese stars, before Chen Xi appeared, the most well-known people overseas were probably Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi's popularity was actually quite good.

After Memoirs of a Geisha, her overseas popularity rose to the next level......

And Zhang Ziyi has something that other Chinese stars can't compare.

That's what she looks like......

This person's appearance has the static beauty that Orientals appreciate more, and the dynamic beauty that Westerners appreciate, and the combination of the two is her.

This kind of unique thing is difficult for others to have.

Zhang Ziyi was more enthusiastic about Chen Xi's film at that time, and she agreed quickly.

At the beginning of November, finally, the news of "Gravity" was officially released in China, and this space disaster film is the first in China.

And Chen Xi has already told everyone about the two main actors of "Gravity", one Zhang Ziyi and the other Liu Dehua, all of which make people feel that Chen Xi's configuration is quite attractive.

Whether it is Liu Dehua or Zhang Ziyi, the popularity in China is quite good, especially Liu Dehua, who is now also a superstar in the hearts of many people, and many people also watch Liu Dehua's film and television works and listen to his songs for so many decades.

Chen Xi used these two actors, which made people have more expectations for this film.

It's just that there are still a few people who show a kind of regret about this matter: because now many people feel that Chen Xi should also act.

It's really weird now.

After Chen Xi was in "Source Code", many people not only recognized Chen Xi's acting skills, but also had strong expectations for his performance in the movie.

Many people want to see Chen Xi act in more movies......

In fact, there are still some people who are looking forward to seeing Chen Xixin's performances in the movie, but it's a bit of a pity that it's lost now, of course, as long as Chen Xi's movie is directed, they are still quite looking forward to it.

Soon, "Gravity" will officially hold a launch conference. (To be continued......)
