Chapter 192, the premiere of "Mr. **" [Wan Gengqiu Subscription]
Inception set.
In the spacious and luxurious dining room, there is a long large dining table.
A man who looks like a successful man is eating Western food with a knife and fork.
In front of him, two men in suits and leather shoes sat in a triangular shape on the left and right sides, and one of them, a man with a stubble vicissitudes, suddenly spoke, "What is the most powerful parasite?" Is it bacteria? Is it a virus? Or intestinal worms? ”
The other man snorted and opened his mouth to interrupt the disgusting description.
But the bearded man ignored the other party and emphasized: "It's an idea!" ”
The successful man who was eating looked up at him, and he continued: "It's tenacious and contagious! Once an idea is formed in your head, it is almost impossible to erase!
As long as the idea is complete and understood, it will be deeply rooted there, somewhere in the brain. ”
The successful man who was eating Western food finally spoke, and he said calmly: "So people like you come to steal?" ”
Another man replied, "Yes! In dreams, your consciousness will let its guard down! In this way, your ideas will be stolen, which is called a sceptlene! ”
Filming scene.
The staff who haven't read the script and don't know the content of the movie's story finally know why this movie is called "Inception"!
This filming process directly told them the answer!
Hao Huan interrupted at this time: "Lao Zhang, can you be more elegant and slow when you eat!" I feel that my acting skills are too good, and I think I can pass it all at once, so I want to make mistakes a few times and eat a few more times! ”
In "Inception", actor Zhang Hua plays Saito as a villain, just like when he played the black boss in "Infernal Affairs", and the funniest thing is that in these two movies, he has to eat, and Hao Huan reprimands him for the process of eating, which is a bit unbearable.
This is the second time Zhang Hua has cooperated with Hao Huan, so he is also used to Hao Huan's strictness, so he had to say with a sneer: "No, I rarely eat Western food with a knife and fork, so it may be a little awkward, and I will have no problem with it!" ”
"Give him a piece of beef!"
Hao Huan commanded, and then started the second shooting.
After the progress was returned, the star actor who played the male lead said, "Mr. Saito, we can train your subconscious mind to defend itself, even the best dream thief can't do anything!" ”
Zhang Hua cut the steak and asked disdainfully, "Why are you so sure?" ”
The actor replied: "Because I'm the best dream thief!" I know how to spy on your thoughts and find out your secrets! I've got the hang of it, and I can teach you that you won't let your guard down even when you're asleep! ”
Zhang Hua took a sip of the goblet with red wine, and the male lead actor also picked up a glass of red wine, stood up and said, "Listen, if you want me to help!" Then you have to trust me completely and have no reservations about me!
I need to know your mind better than your wife, your counselor, or even anyone!
If it's a dream, and there's a safe that holds your secrets, I have to know what's in it, and for that you have to be completely honest with me. ”
Zhang Hua sneered and smiled disdainfully, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and said as he left outside: "I wish you a good evening, I will consider your proposal!" ”
"Click!"
Hao Huan interrupted and said: "Overall, it's okay, but the mood needs to be improved a little more, especially Lao Zhang, the disdainful smile and expression before and after you got up and left are not obvious, and there is almost a taste!" ”
Zhang Hua walked back and said disdainfully: "Then is my expression obvious now?" ”
Hao Huan sneered: "Yes!" It seems that you have a visceral disdain for me! ”
Zhang Hua was embarrassed: "I didn't!" I'm just going to do it! Not from the heart! ”
"I care so much about you! Anyway, if you can't react to this expression later, it means that you just feel contempt and disdain for me! ”
Hao Huan once again instructed Zhang Hua to arrange food and start shooting for the third time.
As an assistant director and assistant, Wang Lexin's most important task is to learn Hao Huan to make movies in addition to being responsible for other equipment.
Because Hao Huan asked her very seriously and seriously, she wanted her to be inseparable, follow her intently, not let go of any details when Hao Huan was directing, and earnestly learn Hao Huan's directing experience.
Therefore, Wang Lexin is now like a serious primary school student, sitting next to Hao Huan, staring at the place where Hao Huan is staring, remembering that Hao Huan finds fault with the actors every time, and it will be convenient for her to find fault when making movies in the future.
"Inception" is filmed so intensely and excitingly.
Those explosion scenes, those scenes where the world is collapsing, and the shots that need to be shot in the curtain space, are not easy to complete.
In order to pursue perfection, in order to pursue a real and shocking visual impact!
Explosion scenes, that's real explosions! Instead of thinking about the special effects of the explosion in the later stage, just go up.
Therefore, the difficulty of filming the movie is indeed as Hao Huan wants to say, far beyond those movies made before.
Wang Lexin finally knew why Hao Huan said that she had to direct this movie together, otherwise Hao Huan would direct it by himself, and he would be exhausted! And apart from Wang Lexin, he can't find a second director who can understand him and understand his style.
This is why he said that "Inception" needs Wang Lexin to cooperate with him in directing.
Time passed tensely and heccilably with the filming of "Inception".
……
A month later.
The post-production of "Mr. Zombie" has been completed, and after the finished film is produced, it is directly arranged for review.
Midday.
On the set of "Inception", the actors and staff went to receive a boxed lunch and took a one-hour lunch break.
This time it is a real big-budget movie made by Hao Huan and Wang Lexin in addition to "Horror Cruise"! The cast, crew, shooting equipment, props, etc., were all used more than any previous movie!
And they sweat and put in more energy than ever before!
Wang Lexin came over with two boxed lunches and asked, "Boss, which one do you want to eat?" ”
Hao Huan picked one casually and ate it, Wang Lexin gave the braised pork clip to Hao Huan, and said, "I have more meat, so I'll share a little bit with you." ”
Hao Huan snorted: "Count yourself conscious." ”
After Wang Lexin sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork to Hao Huan, he began to eat and asked, "Boss, can you finish filming in another month?" ”
"It shouldn't take more than a month."
Hao Huan ate braised pork and said, "Mr. Zombie seems to have been submitted for trial today, right?" ”
"Well, it's already been submitted for review in the morning."
Saying that, Wang Lexin said regretfully: "It's a pity that I've been too busy lately, and I haven't had a chance to watch the finished film." ”
Hao Huan checked the finished film that had not been subtitled a few days ago, and said: "Don't worry, I took a cursory look at it when I went back to the company a few days ago, and the editing and special effects are fine, and this movie will not hit the street!" ”
Wang Lexin said excitedly: "Really? Can that surpass "Painted Skin"? ”
"It's hard to say."
Hao Huan analyzed: "The box office of "Painted Skin" itself is a lot higher, originally I thought it would be very good to have 3 billion, but in the end it just reached 4 billion.
And the movie "Mr. Zombie" can be said to be the pioneering work of zombie movies, and no one has made this type of movie before, so there will be a lot of uncertainties.
Maybe the box office will explode, surpassing the box office of "Soul Night" and reaching the 5 billion level.
Or maybe the box office is average, only a few hundred million, or just over 1 billion like "Happy Ghost". ”
"Oh......"
Wang Lexin took a big mouthful of rice and said with a puffed face: "That's not a loss, it's very good to have a box office of hundreds of millions, anyway, the production cost is only 70 million yuan." ”
Hao Huan knocked Wang Lexin's head with chopsticks and said, "It's okay to be a little promising!" What does it mean to have a box office of hundreds of millions? The production cost of "Happy Ghost" is more than 10 million, and the box office is 1.1 billion, okay! ”
Wang Lexin suddenly glared at him and said fiercely: "My mother said that you can't hit people with chopsticks!" It will be unlucky! ”
Hao Huan said: "When I was a child, I was often knocked by my father with chopsticks, why didn't I see me unlucky?" ”
Wang Lexin said: "It's just an unlucky moment, not an unlucky lifetime." ”
"Superstition! Eat your meal well! ”
Hao Huan's tone was more disgusted.
After lunch.
As soon as the lunch break passed, the movie continued to shoot, and at this time, Wang Lexin covered her stomach and complained to Hao Huan: "Look! My stomach hurts! It's all your fault for hitting me on the head with chopsticks! ”
"You ate the wrong thing yourself, and you blame me for your bad stomach? Let's make a face! ”
Hao Huan said speechlessly: "If you want to go to the toilet, go quickly, if it hurts too much, go take medicine and rest!" ”
"Then you wait for me."
Wang Lexin covered his stomach and left, Hao Huan smiled, waiting for you? It's like I can't make a movie without you!
"Ready!"
Hao Huan started to shoot, without Wang Lexin's presence, he could still shoot well, but he would be a lot tired.
Half an hour later.
"Pause! Touch up your makeup! ”
Hao Huan commanded, and then looked around, did Wang Lexin's stupid pig fall into the toilet? It's been so long and haven't come back!
He took his mobile phone and was about to call Wang Lexin, but found that the mobile phone was muted, and Wang Lexin sent a message ten minutes ago: "Boss, the toilet is out of paper!" ”
Hao Huan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he replied: "You won't call others when there is no paper!" Why are you sending me a message! ”
Wang Lexin immediately replied with four words: "I don't dare to shout ......"
When Hao Huan was filming a movie, it was all silent, all mobile phones had to be muted, and no one was allowed to make a sound without permission, so Hao Huan knew why Wang Lexin, a stupid pig, didn't dare to shout.
He said speechlessly to a female employee: "You go to the toilet and send a tissue to Wang Lexin, this stupid thing has no paper in the toilet, and it can't get out!" ”
Burst!
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
No wonder I've been filming for more than half an hour, and I haven't seen Wang Lexin, a fart worm, following Hao Huan, it turns out that he is trapped in the toilet!
Subsequently, the female employee came back and said, "Director Hao, Director Wang, she has been in the toilet for too long, her legs are cramping, and she said that she needs to slow down before she can come out." ”
"yes, got it."
Hao Huan had nothing to say, he took out his mobile phone and sent two words to Wang Lexin: "Stupid pig!" ”
This is really not afraid of god-like opponents, but also pig-like teammates!
Wang Lexin deserves to be the existence of the "stupid pig" name he hand-picked!
5 minutes later, Wang Lexin walked back with a limp, and everyone couldn't help laughing, and Wang Lexin found that everyone seemed to know that she had no paper in the toilet, and after her leg cramps, her little face was as if the peach was ripe!
Hao Huan opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't snicker, get ready to start shooting!" ”
Wang Lexin walked over and sat down embarrassedly, and Hao Huan couldn't help but scold: "Stupid pig." ”
……
Two days later.
"Mr. Zombie" passed the review.
Although there are many thrilling and terrifying plots and scenes in this movie, because Hao Huan has directly driven the development of domestic films with the power of one person, it has played a non-negligible role in promoting and influencing domestic films.
Therefore, the current review standards are much more relaxed than in the past, otherwise according to the original standard of deleting "Orphan's Resentment", then "Mr. Zombie" will definitely have to delete a lot of scenes.
Now the movie has been reviewed.
There are only 10 days left before the Qingming Festival.
This movie is too in line with the atmosphere of the Qingming Festival, and there are not many movies released at this time, so the competition is not fierce at all, and the film scheduling rate can be arranged between 40% and 50% at will.
The premise is that the popularity of this movie must be worthy of this scheduling rate!
The next day, noon.
"Mr. Zombie" began to be promoted, and this time the publicity focused on the Internet, Wang Lexin had to follow Hao Huan to shoot "Inception", so naturally he had no time to lead the crew to promote offline or participate in the show for promotion.
However, Wang Lexin is now also a well-known director in China, so he only needs to publicize and expose it on the Internet, and the publicity effect can get unexpected gains.
It's just that this time it's really a bit of a hit on the street!
The pre-sale channel opened at 10 o'clock in the morning, and by 12:30 noon, the pre-sale ticket office reached 1.2 million yuan!
Wang Lexin was eating lunch on the set, but her heart was cold, and she said aggrievedly: "Boss, the pre-sale ticket office seems to be hitting the street......"
"How many?" Hao Huan asked.
"It's only 1.2 million yuan in two and a half hours."
Wang Lexin didn't eat anything fragrant, and suddenly lost her appetite, feeling that she was going to be like Hao Huan when she first filmed "The Age of Fright", and was sprayed as a bad movie director.
Hao Huan ate and said: "It may be that the publicity is not in place, and the reason for the horror classification of the movie, so it is normal for the pre-sale box office to be a little lower, let's watch it in the evening!" What if it suddenly explodes at night!
And the movies haven't premiered yet, so it's not up to the pre-sale box office to decide whether they hit the street or not! Just relax your mind, anyway, I won't do anything to you if you hit the street, the big deal is to punish you for writing a long-lost review book, and then scold you for a few stupid pigs or something! ”
"Oh......" Wang Lexin pouted, according to this situation, I feel that the 9-day pre-sale box office of "Mr. Zombie" will be difficult to reach even 20 million yuan at that time!
After filming today's "Inception", Hao Huan drove the car and drove Wang Lexin back to rest.
At this time, Wang Lexin finally had time to take a look at the pre-sale box office of "Mr. Zombie".
From 10 o'clock in the morning to now, 8 and a half hours have passed, and the pre-sale ticket office is only 2.3 million yuan!
Wang Lexin wanted to cry: "It's been more than 8 hours, and it's only 2.3 million yuan." ”
Hao Huan said: "It's a bit of a street!" The screenwriter, producer, and action director of this movie are all me, so it stands to reason that my popularity should bring a lot of box office!
And you stupid pig is now one of the most popular directors in China, under normal circumstances, the box office should reach about 10 million now. ”
Wang Lexin looked at Weibo and said: "Under the movie promotional video, many netizens said that it didn't feel good to watch the promotional video, and it was scary, I don't want to watch it, everyone must think so, so not many people buy tickets." ”
"Don't worry about the pre-sale box office, when the premiere is over, it will be clear whether it is a dragon or a worm!"
Hao Huan has confidence in himself anyway, and he also has confidence in Wang Lexin, now Wang Lexin, a stupid pig, has no confidence in himself, so he will be affected by this pre-sale ticket office.
After all, she is still a weak woman!
Can't withstand the wind and waves!
Weak pigs!
Hao Huan secretly despised in his heart, he was much calmer now, and he was not worried that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" would hit the streets.
……
The next morning.
The 24-hour pre-sale box office of "Mr. Zombie" is only 4.2 million yuan, and at this rate, the 9-day pre-sale box office can only reach 30 million at most.
"Cheer me up! Or I'll beat you up! ”
Hao Huan warned Wang Lexin, who was a little sullen after watching the pre-sale ticket office, this stupid pig is really a stupid pig who can write any thoughts on his face!
Wang Lexin cheered up and said, "I won't watch it, I'll watch it when the movie premieres!" ”
"That's right! Stupid pig! ”
Hao Huan said, continuing to start the filming of "Inception".
……
After 8 days.
"Mr. Zombie" ushered in the premiere, before the premiere, the pre-sale box office was only 23.73 million yuan, this result, for Hao Huan and Wang Lexin's previous movie, it was really hitting the street!
At this time, before watching the premiere on the Internet, a group of people had already commented and predicted, saying that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" was only 200 million yuan.
Some people even predict that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" may only be 150 million yuan in the end.
All in all, they all agreed that this zombie-themed horror film must have hit the streets, the production cost is 70 million yuan, and if the publicity cost is 100 million, then this movie will have to be nearly 300 million yuan to make money, so Hao Huan is losing money this time!
Even the theater chain is disappointed with "Mr. Zombie" at the moment.
With such a high film scheduling rate, why did you have this pre-sale box office?
I wouldn't have scheduled so many sessions if I knew so! It's good now, so many games are vacant in half of the seats, it's a waste!
However, when the premiere of "Mr. Zombie" ended, when the ratings and reviews of the ticketing platform came out! Those who followed the movie suddenly realized that something was wrong!
