After saying goodbye to Zhou Jielun and others in Xin Jiapo, Chen Shuo returned directly to the crew of "Sword Rain".

"Welcome back, Director Chen." Shen Pingchuan and Yang Tianle expressed a warm welcome to Chen Shuo's return.

Chen Shuo put down his things and asked Huang Ying to help him clean up, sat on the sofa and asked the two, "How is the recent progress?" Is there anything going on with the crew? ”

Shen Pingchuan said: "The progress is very smooth, and there is nothing bad about it. ”

Chen Shuo thought about the previous progress, it has been a month and a half since the start of the film, and nearly half of the shooting tasks have been completed so far.

If there are no accidents, it will be completed by September.

I just don't know if I can complete the shooting task before Liu Yifei's birthday.

It doesn't matter if you can catch up with the best, you can't catch up, you're just an action assistant director, and the final ending doesn't have to be you.

"What tasks have you completed so far?" Chen Shuo asked.

In the past few days, I have been busy with publicity, and I have no time to deal with the crew's affairs, and I don't know much about the progress.

Shen Pingchuan flipped through his mission record and said: "I have finished filming the 63rd scene, and tomorrow's task is to shoot the 96th scene, because Fan Bingbing was injured during filming the day before yesterday and delayed the progress of the day." ”

Chen Shuo listened to the reports of the two and had a more detailed understanding of the progress of the crew, and then talked to the two of them again for tomorrow's task and let the two go back to rest.

He first went to report to Cheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yimou and others.

For the next few days, he stayed in the play to complete the set shooting tasks.

On June 20th, "Initial D" was officially released, and when Chen Shuo returned to the crew, it was June 24th, which happened to be Friday.

The reason why Liu Weiqiang and others and Uniasia did not premiere on Friday was because they did not have much confidence in Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun, otherwise they would not have finished filming last year, and they would have to wait until the summer vacation a year later to be released.

is to rub a wave of fans of Chen Shuo and the two.

The four days from Monday to Thursday can be regarded as a warm-up, and after a wave of publicity, we will see how the market reacts.

With the four-day warm-up, "Initial D" has accumulated a wave of word-of-mouth.

Those who have seen it have almost crushed the victory over and over the enemy again and again played by Chen Shuo, which brings people a strong sense of pleasure.

Especially with the ordinary performance of the AE86, it defeats FD, DTR, FD and other cars with better performance than it, which is like a master using a scrap wood trumpet to defeat the feeling of a full-level large one.

It's all about one skill.

Of course, no matter how fast the 86 is, it can't catch up with Mercedes-Benz, and it has become a point of ridicule for everyone.

Zhuang Zhiqiang's adaptation of the script is still very successful, advancing the relationship between Tuohai and Xia Shu, and not letting the character of Tuohai leave the impression of a cuckold man, a minotaur or something like that.

Moreover, the performances of Chen Shuo and Nagasawa Meimi also make the emotional line of the two characters not so unacceptable.

Chen Shuo presented Tuohai's ignorance of feelings very well.

And Mei Mei also shows a mature and stable image that dares to love and hate.

In order to live, she was able to go to help, and when she found out that she really liked Takumi, she was able to decisively break off the previous relationship.

Of course, the final tragic ending also won the sympathy of many people, and she was able to give up her previous privileged life for love, but when she made up her mind, she ushered in the breakdown of the relationship between the two, which has a kind of bleak beauty.

The main thing is that Mei Nagasawa is beautiful.

There are still a lot of viewers who pursue the justice of appearance, especially the audience of this movie is mostly boys who are not very old.

In this way, the emotional drama between the two did not leave a bad impression on the audience, but was a plus.

However, the most attractive thing about racing movies is, of course, racing.

The bewitching racing girls, the roaring engines, and the exciting races all arouse the adrenaline of the audience.

Especially the drift, that's really handsome.

And under the personal operation of Keiso Tsuchiya, the god of drifting in the East, the drifting technology presented in the film is very perfect and more legendary.

Next, in the three days that Chen Shuo was busy with the crew, the box office of "Initial D" ushered in the first wave of outbreaks.

On June 27, Liu Weiqiang sent him a text message, telling him that the box office in Asia had exceeded 60 million in the first week.

Among them, the mainland box office is 21 million, and it is estimated that the total box office of 70 million a month should not be a problem.

In general, in terms of box office alone, this movie is already a sure profit, and as for other aspects, it is a profit for Uniasia.

Bell bell bell ~

Chen Shuo picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, it was Liu Weiqiang calling, "Hey, Director Liu!" ”

"Chen Shuo, did you see it?" Liu Weiqiang's tone revealed unconcealed happiness and relaxation.

For him, the "Infernal Affairs" series no longer has much squeezing value, and the success of "Initial D" has opened up a new series for him.

According to the current situation, there should be two or three more sequels to be filmed next.

Of course, the premise is to be able to negotiate the next cooperation plan with Dongying.

"See." Chen Shuo said sincerely: "Congratulations to Director Liu, becoming an international director is just around the corner." ”

"Hahaha~ Then I will accept your auspicious words." Liu Weiqiang laughed and said: "The first week has achieved remarkable results, and the company is going to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate our victory."

Next, we will go to Dongying and Bangguo to carry out the second wave of propaganda.

Especially in Dongying, this is related to the filming of our sequel in the future. ”

Chen Shuo has no opinion on filming a sequel, and if he wants to participate, the entire series will feature him as the protagonist.

It's also a good qualification for him to be successful.

"When are Director Liu and Mr. Lin going to hold a celebration banquet?"

"This Thursday, after the event, let's go to Dongying to publicize."

"Okay, I'll definitely participate then."

There were no twists and turns, the two of them negotiated in a few words, and going to Dongying to promote it was indeed a relatively important node.

Not only does it mean the situation of the sequel, but the acceptance of Dongying audiences is also a good evaluation for their entire creative team.

After all, "Initial D" originated from Dongying, where the comics and animation audience is also the largest.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuo asked Cheng Xiaodong for leave in advance, and waited until the 30th to rush to Xiangjiang to hold a celebration banquet at the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui.

A celebration banquet, almost the entire entertainment industry practitioners in Xiangjiang came.

After all, this is visible to the naked eye, and Liu Weiqiang and others have created an industry benchmark comparable to "Infernal Affairs".

gave a hard blow to the remarks about the imminent decline of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry and saved the pride of the Xiangjiang people.
