Chapter 423: Sweet
"Is this the warship we're going to shoot in there next?" Li Xian couldn't help but open his mouth wide as he looked at the huge warship in front of him, his face was excited and excited.
The other crew members are similar, they should all be the first time to see the country's naval frigate!
"This is the Type 054A missile frigate, this type of warship is a multi-purpose, fully enclosed missile frigate developed, designed and produced by our country.
It has a high rate of fire and high-power strike firepower, and it can easily deal with some low-altitude penetrating aircraft and cruise missiles." The accompanying officer introduced with a smile.
"Colonel Lee, I'm going to trouble you for the rest of the shooting." Chen Jing said with a smile.
Colonel Li looked at Chen Jing and said with a smile, "The task I received is to cooperate with your film shooting, and if there are requirements, as long as they meet the regulations, I will try my best to help you arrange them!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Jing nodded and smiled.
"Director Chen is polite, let me show you the area where you can shoot first!" Colonel Lee laughed.
"Then it's going to trouble Colonel Lee." Chen Jing said.
Immediately, Chen Jing, Zhang Yi, Li Xian, Li Chen and others, under the leadership of Colonel Li, visited the Type 054A missile frigate.
Of course, the focus is on the areas where the crew can shoot.
In fact, there are not many areas that need to be filmed in "Operation Red Sea", one is the command room, the other is the power room, and then there is the deck.
And even in these areas, there will be some cover-up when the time comes, and the places involving secrets are obviously not allowed to be photographed.
After the crew of "Operation Red Sea" returned to the ground after visiting, they went to the press conference!
This is the first press conference of "Operation Red Sea" in China, and after knowing that the crew of "Operation Red Sea" returned to China, domestic media reporters also went out.
After all, Chen Jing's popularity and influence are there, and "Captain Touching Gold" has become the runner-up at the box office in mainland film history.
At the same time, the 2016 Forbes rich list has just been announced, and Chen Jing is the only post-90s rich person, and ranked 13th, which has made Chen Jing's status and influence to a higher level.
[In view of the general environment,
Now that Chen Jing's third film is filming, it has naturally attracted the attention of countless media, the industry and fans.
With Zhuyu from "Strange Her" and "Captain Touching Gold" in front, everyone is naturally interested in Chen Jing's new film "Operation Red Sea"!
"Boss Chen, what type of film is "Operation Red Sea"?"
Chen Jing said with a smile, "Operation Red Sea is a military war action movie, which is based on the evacuation of our national navy in Africa last year."
"Boss Chen, how did you come up with the idea of filming a military war action movie?"
"I still want to try different types of movies, "Strange Her" is a fantasy comedy, "Captain Touching Gold" is a fantasy action-adventure, and this time "Operation Red Sea" is a war action movie.
In fact, I was also influenced by Brother Jing when I filmed "Operation Red Sea", because I starred in "Wolf Warrior" and "Wolf Warrior 2" directed by Brother Jing, and I became interested in war action movies.
may also be that every man actually has a dream of being a soldier in his heart, so he came up with the idea of making his own war action movie.
And since Brother Jing filmed our country's army special forces, then I want to make a film that shows the theme of the country's naval military operations.
It happened that the evacuation incident last year gave me an idea, and then I met with Brother Jing and the company's screenwriters to have this "Operation Red Sea". Chen Jing said nonsense.
Although Chen Jing is nonsense, Chen Jing feels that "Operation Red Sea" is indeed influenced by "Wolf Warrior 2".
After all, "Wolf Warrior 2" has set a box office record in mainland film history, and it has become the only non-English-language film whose box office has squeezed into the top 100 box office in world film history.
These all demonstrate the great success of "Wolf Warrior 2", so it is natural to be imitated by the later war military action movies.
merely
"Wolf Warrior 2" solves the battle alone, while "Operation Red Sea" emphasizes military integrity.
But in terms of the setting of the storyline, it can be said that it is very similar, they all perform rescue first, and then there is an accident, and then go alone/alone to turn the tide!
As for the support of the national warships, it is even more the same, except that one is Zhang Hanyu and the other is Ding Haifeng!
"Then the investment in this "Red Sea Operation" should be not small, right?"
Chen Jing stretched out a hand, "500 million, the filming cost of "Operation Red Sea" is 500 million, of which the cost of various weapons and ammunition alone, warships, drones, tanks, etc. is as high as 300 million.
In order to present you with a real battlefield scenario, artillery shells are fired in unison, tank versus sniper, sniper duel, drone bombing, including warship defense missiles.
This is also the reason why this movie has such a huge investment, because I think it must be real, so that it is the real war, and it is worthy of the audience's movie ticket.
For this reason, in addition to spending 300 million in military funds, we also took three months to shoot in Africa before coming back.
And the scene back in China was also filmed on the Type 054A missile frigate, and when the time comes, you will be able to see all kinds of weapons in service in the navies of many countries, which will definitely feast your eyes."
Chen Jing is a bit exaggerated, in fact, the shooting cost is 400 million, and saying that 500 million is only a false report of 25%, which is not too high.
Chen Jing is still thin-skinned in the end, and she is embarrassed to shout out a cost budget of 600 million.
"Zhang Yi, this is the second time you have starred in a military-themed video......
"Zhang Hanyu, "Operation Mekong" has just broken the box office of 1 billion, and this time he will participate in "Operation Red Sea" again......
……
"Chen Jing's third film "Operation Red Sea" has been in production for four months!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Chen Jing's new film has an investment of 500 million yuan, which is based on the real incident of the national navy's evacuation of overseas Chinese!" --- Wangyi Entertainment
"Chen Jing's new film is a military war action movie, three movies and three genres!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……
The news of Operation Red Sea's press conference in China quickly spread throughout the media and the Internet.
Not long after the painting of "Touching the Golden Captain", Chen Jing's new film has been filmed for nearly 4 months, which is indeed fast enough.
As for the investment of the film as high as 500 million, it really shocked everyone and the industry, after all, if this is a real investment, it will take a box office of 1.5 billion to return to the cost.
Although the box office of "Touching the Golden Captain" is as high as 2.789 billion yuan, many people still sweat for Chen Jing.
After all, the highest box office of the current domestic military war-themed films is Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" of 525 million.
Even if "Operation Red Sea" has Chen Jing in charge, it is unknown whether it can reach a box office of 1.5 billion.
In the final analysis, the previous domestic war military action films were too "main theme" and had a serious didactic meaning, resulting in a low box office and unpopularity in the market.
Everyone hasn't realized that the main theme films such as "Wolf Warrior", "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Operation Red Sea" are different from previous movies.
After the latter two movies were released, everyone knew the selling point and popularity of the new main theme movie.
There are also more and more diverse main theme films on the market, which also makes it the most popular type of film in the film market.
This is the characteristic of the market, once a type of film sells well, it will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of following the trend.
……
The excitement caused by "Operation Red Sea" did not affect the normal filming of the crew.
I just returned to China, but everyone has already developed the habit of filming in Africa for more than three months, and after the press conference, the crew started filming immediately.
Maybe it's also because the temperature in Africa is too high, so everyone is very serious when shooting, and I hope to hurry up and finish the shooting progress.
Therefore, the crew quickly entered the filming state.
"Wait a minute, three
Aerial cameras were taken from the front, left and back of the assault boat." Chen Jing explained.
"Okay, Director!"
Ten minutes later, the departments and actors were ready, and the filming officially began.
"Operation Red Sea" 5 scenes, 1 shot, 1 shot, smack!"
"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted.
The Jiaolong Commando is on a mission to rescue a hijacked merchant ship, but a pirate leaves and an accomplice comes to pick them up.
The Jiaolong Commando must catch the pirates within the range of escaping from the high seas, otherwise they will not be able to catch the pirates when they enter foreign waters.
As a result, although Luo Xing, the sniper of the Jiaolong Commando, succeeded in sniping, he was hit by the pirates who came to meet him because he was too close.
So he was quickly rescued back to the warship and rescued.
Luo Xing returned by helicopter, and Jiaolong Commando returned by assault boat.
At this time, the assault boat was moving at full speed on the sea, and three drones were shooting the assault boat from three angles.
And everyone on the assault boat was also very anxious after learning that Luo Xing had been shot.
As soon as they came to the warship, everyone jumped directly off the assault boat and rushed into the warship!
Chen Jing looked at the monitor, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's over!" Prepare for the next one."
Although I returned to China, we have been filming together for more than three months, and everyone has already entered the state, and the tacit understanding has already been formed.
Therefore, shooting these shots is basically done over and over again.
"Operation Red Sea" 6 scenes, 1 shot, 1 shot, smack!"
"Let's go!" Chen Jing shouted.
The injury of the old teammate sniper Luo Xing is unknown, which makes the members of the Jiaolong Commando Team very worried, and everyone is full of sadness when they get together.
Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Especially the observer Li Dong, he and Luo Xing have been partners for a long time, and they are the most anxious.
Seeing this, Xu Hong, the vice captain and demoman, patted Li Dong on the shoulder.
At this time, the captain came, and everyone immediately stood up and waited anxiously for the captain to speak.
Yang Rui looked at everyone's expressions, and was about to open his mouth, but he paused again, and then said, "Luo Xing is out of danger, and now the situation is stable!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"However, he has to stay in Gibbs for intensive treatment, so rest assured." Yang Rui pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let's all go back and rest."
"Okay, over it!" Chen Jing shouted.
In the later stage of filming, everyone is in the play, and they are all in the state, and it is indeed much easier to shoot.
……
When the time came to November 27, "Passing by Your World" starring Deng Chao and Tian Ai was officially painted in major theaters across the country.
The reputation of this movie is not bad, and it finally got a box office of 813 million yuan.
The filming cost of the film was 50 million, and Crystal Entertainment invested 40 million, and it also spent 30 million yuan to distribute it.
The divisible box office of "Passing by Your World" is 745 million yuan, and the producer + distributor can get 43% of the divisible box office share, that is, 320 million yuan.
According to the investment ratio of Crystal Entertainment plus the distribution share ratio, it can get a box office of 288 million yuan.
After deducting investment costs and taxes, Crystal Entertainment's net profit on the movie "Passing by Your World" is 174.8 million yuan!
The big hit of the movie "Passing by Your World" has made Tianai even more popular at the moment when "Seven Star Lu Palace" and "Ode to Joy" are on the air, and it can be said that it is in full swing.
At the same time, Happy Twist's second movie "Donkey Gets Water" was also painted on the same day as "Passing by Your World".
The reputation of the absurd comedy "Donkey Gets Water" is very good, after all, it has a foundation in drama, coupled with the excellent acting skills of the actors, and the comic score is as high as 8.5 points.
This score is better than 98% of comedies and 96% of dramas, which is definitely good
It's a classic.
It's a pity that the box office of the movie is inversely proportional to word of mouth.
This happy twist movie with high hopes only won 173 million yuan at the box office in the end!
Although the investment is only 20 million, Crystal Entertainment spent 15 million on publicity, with a total cost of 35 million, and this box office result is also earned.
Crystal Entertainment can share 42.3 million yuan, after deducting taxes and costs, it makes a net profit of 11 million.
But this result is too far from the expectations of Happy Twist.
The film department of Crystal Entertainment didn't expect that the box office of "Donkey Gets Water" would be so much worse than "Charlotte's Troubles", it didn't look like a company's work.
But it's right to think about it, movies are a gamble, no one can win every time, and it's even more impossible to make money every time!
Therefore, Crystal Entertainment didn't care, and even gloated.
After all, the ambition of Happy Twist is visible to everyone.
Now the second work "Donkey Gets Water" is not popular, and it has also set off a discussion within Happy Twist.
Movies will definitely be made, but it is debatable whether they will still occupy a large proportion of the investment share.
This directly led to the fact that Happy Twist's new film "Iron Fist of Shame" was almost discontinued, but Ellen and Mary were in a hurry.
Especially Ellen, my first male protagonist, don't be in the soup!
During the internal discussion of Happy Twist, the crew of "Operation Red Sea" finally ushered in another actress, Tang Tang!
After being invited by Yang Mi, Tang Tang thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to come to "Operation Red Sea" to play the role of a drone pilot.
Although this character only has two lines, as Chen Jing's third work, there is obviously no shortage of popularity and topicality.
Come and make a cameo by yourself, and you can also show your face in the blockbuster and brush up on your presence.
At the same time, you can also come and meet a bad guy!
When Chen Jing saw Tang Tang, he saw the pair of beautiful legs against the sky at first sight.
The wind on the seaside was a little strong, blowing Tang Tang's hair, Tang Tang hurriedly lifted his hair behind his ears with his hand, revealing that sweet and pretty face!
The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouths!
