Chapter 232 Filming "Beijing Meets Seattle"
Now Chen regrets that the funds involved in them are indeed quite terrifying, and the money owed is also very terrifying.
But Chen Xi is now also a bow and has no turning back, he not only has to ensure the normal progress of his big plan, but he also has to try to ensure that there is no problem with the follow-up funds of these big plans.
It's really hard to make sure that stuff is so hard that anything costs a lot of money and has to be a headache.
Now Chen Xi's "Beijing Meets Seattle" is actually a film that is almost filmed with a loan, and there are some other film companies to inject money, but Chen Xi is only willing to let other film companies inject 30 funds.
Chen Xi asked other film companies to join the film project, but there were some conditions, one of which was that there were strict requirements for sharing, and Chen Xi also added some clauses to them...... There's a good chance that something else will happen with these terms.
For example, at that time, Chen Xi and they are likely to withhold some of the money from the movie to make a new movie...... This is also the consistent practice of many film companies.
In fact, now some of the film companies invested by Deep Space Film and Television have also been betting on their share of what they deserve, which is also a relatively common practice in the industry, and Chen Xi also thinks that they have to do it, otherwise this kind of movie that should make money makes them cheap and can't pay nothing.
There are a number of reasons why Chen chose to eventually involve other companies in investing in "Beijing Meets Seattle", and some of them are particularly important.
Although Chen Xi is not afraid of the quality of his movie itself, he is also worried about problems in the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle", because "Beijing Meets Seattle" Chen Xi's requirements for the reputation of the movie are not high, he mainly wants the box office of the movie, so he can't afford the problem of insufficient film scheduling at that time, but if there is capital injection from other companies, in order to recover the cost, in terms of cinemas, it will be somewhat simpler and more advantageous......
This is what Chen Xi thinks now, Chen Xi has made enough arrangements and made enough plans for these things.
…… By the end of January, the filming preparations for "Beijing Meets Seattle" had basically been completed, and the filming preparations for this film were still relatively troublesome, especially if they had to shoot between two countries, which increased the difficulty of film preparation, but Chen regretted that they still completed these things after spending a while.
The preparation of "Beijing Meets Seattle" has been completed, and now it has begun to enter the stage of publicity and even filming.
When this movie was originally released, there was actually a very frustrating name, but later the film crew felt that the name of the film was not very good, so it was changed to "Beijing Meets Seattle", but Chen Xi is now directly called this name.
"Chen Xi's new movie? Still a romantic comedy? ”
When I heard the news, a large number of people felt pleasantly surprised, from the perspective of comedy, Chen Xi's "People in Embarrassment" proved his ability, and in terms of romantic comedy, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is also enough to prove it, so now everyone is really looking forward to Chen Xi's new movie.
As for Chen Xi's mastery of this theme, everyone actually believes in it, not to mention that Chen Xi has proven his ability in movies from many film genres.
And everyone already likes the name of this movie, "Beijing Meets Seattle" already has a bit of literary flavor on the surface, and then it will make everyone think of what happened in the middle, and begin to think about why it is called this name...... Anyway, these things will make people have a lot of ideas.
""Beijing Meets Seattle" is really a very good name, anyway, it makes people feel quite literary, Chen Xi is actually very literary and artistic in his "Border Storm", and now Chen Xi wants to shoot such a literary film, thinking of the previous "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", it really makes people look forward to it!"
"Chen Xi's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is a movie that I like very much, but it really can't be escaped in some places, and there is indeed a problem that it is more like a TV series...... I hope his "Beijing Meets Seattle" can make achievements and become a more classic romantic comedy movie! ”
…… Soon, Deep Space Film and Television released the news of "Beijing Meets Seattle" on its official website.
"Money Worshipper" Wen Jiajia (played by Tang Wei) used to be an editor of a food magazine, and she is full of romantic fantasies about love like the movie "Sleepless in Seattle". In reality, because there was no way to issue a birth permit in China, she traveled thousands of miles to the confinement center in Seattle to give birth.
At the confinement center, Wen Jiajia's style of showing off her wealth aroused the disgust of the landlord and other pregnant women, and she felt lonely and could only confide in the driver FranK (played by Wu Xiubo). And the seemingly honest "down-and-out uncle" FranK is not a mediocre man, he was once a first-class doctor in China for cardiovascular diseases. In getting along, FranK's thoughtfulness and tolerance gradually melted Wen Jiajia's rudeness and willfulness. When Wen Jiajia's rich boyfriend suddenly disappeared, Wen Jiajia, who became poor overnight, was taken care of by FranK, and the time spent living with FranK and his daughter allowed Wen Jiajia to find the warmth of home. The two get along day and night and have a subtle relationship, but the reality gives her a surprise in this situation......
You can also see some things from the introduction.
Overall, the profile is catchy enough.
Tang Wei, Wu Xiubo...... What a strange combination! However, there is no problem with the looks and acting skills of the two...... And judging from the current makeup photos, Wu Xiubo, who has a beard, is really handsome! This is the comment of some ordinary fans, indeed, there are many people who know Wu Xiubo, and many of them have known him in "Before Dawn", but what I saw before was a clean Wu Xiubo with no beard on his face, but now he is a handsome Wu Xiubo who wears glasses and looks like a vicissitudes of life.
And judging from Tang Wei's makeup photos, she is also relatively beautiful, no matter from what point of view, she is the same as "Color. The Tang Wei in "Ring" is completely different, and the current Wen Jiajia is a more obvious modern fashionable woman.
This also made many people more concerned about Tang Wei's things.
Of course, Tang Wei himself may be more concerned about "Beijing Meets Seattle" than most people, after all, Tang Wei himself knows that this movie is an opportunity for her transformation, Chen Xi, the director, his movies are always successful at the box office, as long as this movie can also be successful at the box office, and its own reputation is not bad, as long as it can have the level of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", "Beijing Meets Seattle" can become her transformation masterpiece!
…… Soon, on January 7, "Beijing Meets Seattle" officially held a kick-off ceremony in Beijing, in fact, although the movie has the word Beijing, there are very few scenes that are actually filmed in Beijing, and most of them need to be shot in Vancouver, USA.
But now is also a kind of beginning.
All kinds of reporters on this day are also flocking to it, from the very beginning when they heard that Chen Xi was going to shoot "Beijing Meets Seattle", they have been waiting for the day when the film will really start shooting, and now they have waited for so long, and finally arrived, so they are all moving now.
The scene was also jam-packed.
Since Chen Xi filmed "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", his popularity has reached a higher level, accompanied by Chen Xi's subsequent verbal war with Zhuang Guofei, especially at the director's annual meeting, which made reporters full of expectations for Chen Xi's next thing.
They can't wait to find some new news points in Chen Xi.
Now that the news has come, it depends on whether they can find and dig out from Chen Xi.
Soon, under the attention of reporters, Chen Xi, Wu Xiubo, and Tang Wei walked to the rostrum of the press conference and then sat down, facing many reporters from all directions.
Now Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo are both by Chen Xi's side, but the reporters are not very concerned about these two actors who are actually very well-known and have topical topics, on the contrary, the focus of their attention is still on Chen Xi alone......
Soon, the first reporter's question was asked: "Director Chen, this is the first film you shot after the director's annual meeting, does the movie you shoot have the idea of proving yourself in front of Zhuang Guofei and other old directors?" ”
Chen Xi also has a dispensable attitude towards this kind of problem, and he smiled at the moment: "This question...... I don't think there's much need to answer, because in fact, I don't pay much attention to the so-called rupture and so on that that a lot of people are keen on, and I don't think I really need to prove that they say anything, that I am who I am, that I have a plan of my own. ”
Chen Xi really didn't mean to want Bird Zhuang Guofei, and Chen Xi's attitude towards him in public was just that he didn't have the need to pay attention to him.
In fact, this is already a slap in the face for Zhuang Guofei.
The second reporter still asked a somewhat similar related question: "So is "Beijing Meets Seattle" a commercial film or a literary film?" ”
Chen Xidao: "You can define it as a commercial film or a literary film, in fact, "Beijing Meets Seattle" is a film that has both. ”R1152
