Cheng Long has been very annoying recently, and when Cheng Dù can joke with any Cheng family class, he sees a big black face, because the "Shinjuku Incident" they invested in is a mess, not to mention the fact that Cheng Long has been bombarded by media people recently.

The movie "Shinjuku Incident" is a movie in an awkward position, this movie is obviously influenced too much by "Once Upon a Time in America", and I want to make a film that conforms to the tide of history and allows people to see a lot of real cases piled up on a character, so that people can see what happened to the Chinese people living abroad and how they were forced to that step by step. It's a pity that the filmmakers and even Cheng Long himself have too many concerns, whether they can pass the filter, whether they can make money at the box office, whether they will be excluded by overseas Chinese or domestic people, and so on.

As soon as there were too many concerns, the movie was not made well, and in the end it became a disadvantage, and the Chinese people grabbed the point of 'insulting the Chinese people' when the Chinese economic system was advancing rapidly, and poured cold water on Cheng Long to 'smear socialism' to death.

In the end, the movie became a movie that wanted to see a real and cruel story, and the audience jumped to the foot and scolded the male pig's feet, "Since they have all embarked on the road of exposing the inferiority of the people, they have to have a high wind and bright festival at the end, isn't this a-son and a memorial arch'; At the same time, the audience who wants to see the story is also dissatisfied, 'Is Cheng Long going to perform thrilling action scenes, or is he going to be a virgin?' ’。

A good story is ruined like this, and life is ruined.

If you want to shoot this story well, you can either simply abandon the authenticity. Just shoot a man's torment abroad, don't touch the high-voltage line, and arrange it into a pure literary film; Either. It's out of the way, anyway, you say 'there were no thieves here before the Chinese arrived in the island country' is also offended, it's better to roll through the minefield, fight the movie to be blown up into a banned film and make a classic, do whatever you love, and say everything you want to say. It's a pity that "Shinjuku Incident" didn't get these two points right at all.

Cheng Long also has Cheng Long's concerns. He didn't dare to offend the mainland people too much, and he didn't want to erase the authenticity of this story. The entire film "Shinjuku Incident" grossed $1.8 million in Hong Kong, $300,000 in Treasure Island, $1.3 million in Singapore, $1.1 million in Malaysia, $400,000 in Thailand, $600,000 in New Zealand, and $390,000 ($1 million in the end) for three days in the island. A total of $6.5 million. The box office was expected by the media, and Cheng Long's film lost as much as 180 million Hong Kong dollars.

Cheng Long may be able to bear the loss of 180 million Hong Kong dollars alone, he even lost 80 million US dollars when the exchange rate is high, and this 180 million Hong Kong dollars will not cause any psychological burden. But the crux of the matter is image. Cheng Longdu is about to be scolded as a traitor by the mainland media. You must know that not every Chinese who goes to the island country will steal things and mix with the underworld, when watching this movie, they also admit that some compatriots are inferior abroad, but you can't say 'Before the Chinese go to the island country, there were no thieves here' Isn't this a whole boatload of people killed with a rod? Co-authored Chinese people go to island countries specifically to steal things? Even the skill of stealing things is too poor, and people have exposed it collectively, right?

Then who do you scold if the media doesn't scold? We are all creditors of the people of the United States now, who can stand it if you suddenly make a handful of on your face? Even if the is chocolate-flavored, it doesn't work.

In the hotel, Cheng Long waited for a full week, and he didn't go anywhere during this week. Pushed all the activities, he was waiting for someone.

"Xiao Shao. I, Cheng Long, do you have time? Yes, I'm back in the capital, and I've just come back from the United States. ”

Cheng Long didn't say that, he couldn't pull down his face, he was a big brother-level artist, no matter where he went, other stars regarded him as a legend and an idol, and there were voices everywhere of 'Big brother, let me make a scene for you', you expect him to call and say, 'Xiao Shao, I'm a little difficult, can you help me improve my image?' He couldn't open his mouth when he said that.

Cheng Long is interested in the opportunity for Shao Yingying and the last battle between the Chinese people, because in the second battle, the box office of "Super Body" in North America reached 44 million US dollars in a single week, and the "Source Code" of more than 60 million US dollars is definitely not a problem, if in the final battle between Shao Yingying and the Hollywood media, Cheng Long entered the group with funds and used his influence in Hollywood to help the younger generations fight against the Hollywood media, whether he won or lost, his image was reversed, so, He had to call on the last day of Shao Yingying's return to China to publicize.

Shao Yingying was quite puzzled when he received the call, he didn't have any friendship with Cheng Long, at most he met at the charity dinner and chatted a few words that no one could say in their hearts, why did he receive Cheng Long's invitation at this time?

What he thinks is that Cheng Long may have a big face, and he wants to pull himself to play a role or a villain in a new play, anyway, it's all a matter of face, even if it is a role or a villain, there are not many shots, who doesn't know that the appearance of the villain in Cheng Long's play is a flash, and it will occupy the end time in the whole play?

For this reason, Shao Yingying also thought about Cheng Long's next few plays, and the Cheng Long movies released in 2010 include "Kung Fu Dream" and "Agent Next Door......

Before making a special trip to the hotel, Shao Yingying got the domestic box office results of the second week of "Super Body", and the mainland's 94 million results are not a landslide compared to the results of the first week, and basically remain in a flat position; After playing a miraculous 47.26 million in the first week, Baodao scored 36.54 million in the second week, of course, this is NT$; In terms of Xiangjiang, after experiencing the first week box office of 10.5 million in the first week, it won an astonishing 7.8 million in the second week, and now it is a miracle that the Xiangjiang Film Market can win a box office of 30 million.

As for the results of Super Sports in Europe, island countries, South Korea and other places, there is no feedback yet, but Shao Yingying's expectations for this movie have reached a new height, after all, the mainland market has scored 200 million in two weeks. In such a mood, Shao Yingying went to see Cheng Long.

The moment he saw Cheng Long, Shao Yingying sat down face-to-face with Cheng Long in the presidential suite of the hotel, Cheng Long was a little embarrassed to open his mouth and said with an opening statement: "The box office of "Super Body" is really good, Xiao Shao, if you want to achieve the results of "Super Body", I'm afraid you will have to increase investment, right?" "Cheng Long This is polite, after all, an artist who has only recently entered Hollywood needs too many contacts to make a movie with 0 production cost, not to mention MGM's current situation, as long as you Shao Yingying opens his mouth and says that there are difficulties in funding, then Cheng Long can enter with funds full of compatriot feelings, and it can be regarded as helping the younger generations, and everyone will get face back.

"It's hard." After Shao Yingying said these words, he didn't pretend to be fake, and said to Cheng Long like a homely person: "When I first arrived in Hollywood, I didn't know so much, and I really took the funds to fight, because of the problem of the exchange rate, I had a headache every day, and at that time, the exchange rate was still 1:7, and I was in danger of bankruptcy if a movie was smashed." Let's just say "Super Body", if it is not to control the input within the range that I can control, it will be troublesome, and it is likely that MGM and our company will be directly dragged down. ”

"Fortunately, the market response is quite good." Shao Yingying continued: "Under the reflection of the current film market, the "Source Code" series has rushed from Hollywood's B-grade system to A-grade system, and I was also discussing the third part of the investment with MGM's Harry Sloan, and now it seems that this matter can really be done at zero cost, after all, the box office of "Super Body" is there, and people have confidence, not to mention that we plan to invite some Hollywood big names in the next one...... Brother Cheng Long, are you okay? Why didn't I say a word, your face is getting more and more bitter? Is it unwell? ”

Cheng Long is so troubled, he has a good plan, he enters the group with funds, and it is a big deal to reduce the salary, even if it is regarded as acting in this movie for you Shao Yingying in the end, he can always be grateful, right? It's good now, isn't this a cocoon?

Shao Yingying didn't know that he had blocked Cheng Long's mouth after chatting for two sentences, what he thought was that Cheng Long had a charity dinner recently and had to deal with the media, he was afraid that he would be tired, was there any physical problem, but now that he looks at it, it seems that this is really not the case.

"Big brother?" Shao Yingying asked again.

Cheng Long reacted and said: "Oh, that's good, that's good, it's okay, if there's any trouble, just say it, it's all Chinese, if we don't get together in Hollywood, then no one can really afford us." ”

"Ugh." Shao Yingying agreed, Cheng Long suddenly became dumb, staring at the newspaper next to him and closing his mouth and not speaking.

What do you mean?

Got to this point and start playing silent silence? Isn't it time to be silent for a while?

Shao Yingying didn't know which one Cheng Long was singing, Cheng Long really couldn't open his mouth, just like that, Shao Yingying simply asked: "Brother Cheng Long, do you want me to give you a play or something?" ”

"Okay, I'll put on a show for you!"

"Ahh

Cheng Long heard Shao Yingying's exclamation and realized that he had said the wrong thing, people asked if he wanted to give you Cheng Long a play, but Cheng Long was full of how to enter the crew of Shao Yingying's new film to save the image of being sprayed by the media, otherwise why would the charity dinner be held during this time period? How do you know that when you hear something similar, you can directly say your thoughts, and when you think about it, you find that the response is not what you think at all.

However, after saying this, both of them were embarrassed.

Shao Yingying thought that Cheng Long didn't know how to open his mouth to let himself go to the show, but he didn't expect Cheng Long to come and play for himself. Following Cheng Long's gaze and glancing to the side, Shao Yingying saw a newspaper, almost all of what was written in the newspaper was a report on the "Shinjuku Incident", how could Shao Yingying, who was busy with publicity, have time to pay attention to the tide of public opinion, after reading the headlines of these newspapers, he completely understood.

"Big brother, are you doing this?" (To be continued......)
