"Now, I announce."

"China's first film "Inception" with an investment of more than 2 billion yuan is started in Langfang Ningde Film and Television Base!!" The secretary of Langfang held the microphone and announced passionately.

Before the words fell, at the start-up scene, fireworks and salutes were fired around, and more than 100 media from all over the world rushed to the stage, with long guns and short cannons, and slammed them on the stage.

Xu Ning, China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi and other investors, with more than a dozen actors, stood on the stage and held a ribbon-cutting and start-up ceremony for the film and television base.

The whole ceremony lasted two hours, and Xu Ning and others answered the questions of the reporters one by one.

At the end of the boot,

His dream system was also officially opened, using dreams to train actors...... This helped him a lot when he filmed Inception.

Lunch is after lunch.

He couldn't wait to pull a few people in and practice.

Afternoon.

He took Xiao Lizi, Gadot, Chen Kun and others to shoot the first shot of the movie in Studio 1.

The crew entered an intense filming session.

Xu Ning makes a movie, once he enters the state, he will be very fast, and he doesn't like to be interrupted halfway, so he just goes in one go.

……

This film, which has an investment of up to 20 small goals, is quite explosive, both at home and abroad.

Of course, this includes the 1.3 billion yuan for building the base, and the simple film investment is only about 7 billion.

However, what about movie promotion......

It's going to be bigger.

I can say 2 billion, but I will never say 1.99 billion.

In this way, it will be more shocking to the outside world.

As soon as the news of the start-up was issued, the whole world exploded, and the Internet was surprised that what movie could invest 2 billion, more than "Avatar" released at the end of the year.

The same is true in China, Xu Ning's fans are crazy to show off how awesome their idols are, and the news of "Inception" is everywhere.

But later, netizens began to pick up that it turned out to be the construction of film and television bases + the cost of film production, a total of 20 billion......

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The publicity effect has been played, and people who pay attention to entertainment news all over the world know about Xu Ning's filming of "Inception".

"Shit, I have to watch this movie, what can I make with that much money? Xiao Lizi made a Chinese director's first film, don't overturn. ”

"Gal Gadot, my goddess, that figure, it's too top, I dreamed about it last night, but it's a pity that I couldn't communicate in depth."

"Rascals! I'm all licking at the screen. ”

"None of the movies made by Director Xu have a Douban score lower than 8.0, and "Inception" is definitely worth watching."

"I heard that this is the first large-scale 3D movie in China, and I am very much looking forward to the 3D effect."

"Me too, I want to be immersed."

"As far as I know, 3D does not improve the viewing effect, but reduces the viewing experience, because many movies are turned to 3D very roughly."

"You can always trust Director Xu, he will definitely make a high-quality 3D movie, and he will not smash his own signboard."

"My brother Ning's name is the biggest guarantee, he is worth tens of billions and doesn't care about the box office at all, making movies is a hobby, and he will definitely keep improving."

"Did you see the actors? Except for the two vases of Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, they are all proper and powerful, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. ”

"I'm looking forward to the movie right now."

"According to what Director Xu said before, it is estimated that it will not be released until the middle of next year, after all, this movie is full of special effects and the production cycle is very long."

"Yes, it may take five months to shoot, but the special effects will take more than half a year, ah...... Some waited, but "Avatar" was released at the end of the year, and I heard that it was very awesome. ”

“……”

The heated discussion among netizens lasted for a few days.

And Xu Ning didn't pay attention to these.

Xiao Lizi is very interested in participating in such the first big-budget movie, and he has also seen the movies made by Xu Ning, the quality is great, and he is not worried about making a bad movie.

As for Gal Gadot, he is even more willing.

Director Xu is so handsome, so rich, and very talented, and the salary he gives is very satisfactory to her, Gadot has no reason to refuse this movie.

After a few days of filming, several foreign actors such as Xiao Lizi and Gadot also adapted to Xu Ning's filming rhythm.

Moreover, Xu Ning's fluent English allows them to communicate without any burden, and the tacit understanding between the actor and the director is getting better and better.

Filming during the day and falling asleep at night.

Xu Ning made full use of the time, and a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the scenes in the studio were basically completed.

Next, we had to shoot locations all over the world.

The first stop, of course, is China.

The crew will go to Beijing, Magic City, Chongqing, Jiuzhaigou, Phoenix Ancient City, Tianmen Mountain and other places to shoot some pictures with Chinese characteristics.

These scenes are mainly embodied in the fourth layer of dreams, that is, when the protagonists fall into the lost realm.

Later, I will go to the United Kingdom, Morocco, the United States, Canada, France and other places, at least one and a half months.

With the run-in of a month of shooting, Gal Gadot is full of interest in this young and handsome Chinese rich director.

Xu Ning's appearance is not only very popular in China, but also, in the world, belongs to the group of handsome guys who can fight.

Gal Gadot, the girl, was attracted at the first sight of him, but when she saw two little beauties beside Xu Ning, she still kept her distance.

During the shooting.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, two Chinese beauties, go around the director every day, and even the assistant director Tang Wei is also interested in Xu Ning.

Gadot saw it in his eyes and worried in his heart.

The 24-year-old Gal Gadot is very young, her appearance is still good, she is 178 cm tall, her figure is convex and backward, her eyes are very sexy, and she is very lethal to men.

Back then, Xu Ning watched her play "Fast and Furious" and "Wonder Woman" and noticed this woman.

Every time she comes to the set to shoot, she will attract the attention of a large number of men, and even Da Mimi and Liu Yifei can feel a pressure, for fear that he will rob Xu Ning.

"Haha, this Gadot is really good." On the set of the magic capital, Fang Long looked at Gadot and couldn't help but admire.

"I'm going to have a drink with her tonight." Xu Ning said with a smile while reading the script, Fang Long was heartbroken when he heard it.

"Ah, why is it so irritating to me."

"Haha, no, I'm just telling the truth."

"Alas, to be handsome is to be good."

“……”

"Gadot, be gentle and soft." Xu Ning held the horn and shouted to her in the camera, "Do what you said last night." ”

Gadot smiled and made an OK gesture.

Half an hour later, Xu Ning announced that he would call it a day.

On the street, at this time, fans were already crowded, all shouting two names, one was Xu Ning and the other was Xiao Lizi.

Obviously, Xu Ning's voice is higher.

That night, Sina published an article: "Director Xu and the crew of "Inception" appeared on the streets of the magic capital, and the 'Xu Ning' on the scene was the highest, and Xiao Lizi was second. ”

Xiao Lizi in 2009 is no longer the little fresh meat in "Titanic" in 1998, but an uncle.

Strictly speaking, his appearance is much worse than Xu Ning's.

But his fame is on the outside, and he still has quite a few fans.

In his previous life, Xu Ning only remembered the scene of Xiao Lizi running on the beach with a water gun...... I'm not too interested in his appearance.

……

Sunset over the West Mountains.

On the way back to the hotel, Xu Ning took a look at the recent news in the film industry in the circle, and the media were reprinting an article by Sina.

"Let the Bullets Fly" 410 million broke the domestic box office record of "Titanic" for 11 years and became the highest-grossing movie."

"Transformers 2", which had a strong performance in the early stage, also won 402 million at the box office, temporarily ranking second in the Chinese film box office.

The comments of netizens are more direct:

"I declare, Director Xu is a god."

"This movie is worth watching again."

"Let the Bullets Fly" is not a popcorn movie, there are many details in it that are worth savoring and interpreting, not to mention, I'll go and watch it three times."

"I brushed it for the second time, just to watch Liu Jialing's part."

“……”

Two high-quality movies are about to be released, and "Ice Age 3" and "Harry Potter and the Half-blood" have a difficult succession.

However, the box office performance of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood King" is average, and it can only exceed 100 million in half a month after its release, indicating that the attraction to Chinese is not very strong.

And "Ice Age 3" was released for 18 days, with a box office of just over 90 million, and after 30 days of normal screening, it is estimated that the box office can be 120 million.

August is coming.

"McDull Ringing" and "Eavesdropping" have been released, and the box office reached 10 million and 20 million respectively in two days after their release.

After that, two Chinese comedies "Chasing Shadows" and "Ouchi Secret Detective Greyhound" will also land on the screen one after another.

This August,

The domestic film market is still very lively.

Of course, the most lively is the end of the year.

At that time, there will be a large wave of good movies released, such as "Avatar", "District 9", "Guinea Pig Agent", "Thorn Tomb", "October Siege" and so on.

……

Arrived at the hotel.

A group of dozens of people built a large private room, divided into two tables, and tasted the local food of the magic capital, Gadot and Liu Yifei sat on the left and right, and Aunt Liu had a role today, and she was also at the scene.

Yang Mi finished as early as last week.

Already went to the next crew.

"Gadot, if you like Chinese food, you can eat more." Xu Ning sandwiched a little food for Gadot, and Gaduo happily stuffed it into his mouth.

This can kill Sissi.

"Brother Ning, I want to eat it too."

“……”

This happens almost every day.

Under Sissi's strict defense, he only had the opportunity to communicate with Gadot in depth in his dreams.

However, things seem to have taken a turn for the better tonight.

When Aunt Liu arrives on the set, she will definitely live with Sissi, so Sissi will not run to his house to watch TV at night.

Sure enough.

After returning to the hotel, Aunt Liu pulled Qianqian into the room, and the two chattered inside and didn't know what to say.

Xu Ning made a call to Gadot.

The two hit it off, got in the car and went for a ride.

The car was parked in a roadside parking space, and the two looked at the busy street, suddenly looked at each other and smiled, and Gadot took the initiative to close his eyes.

What does this mean?

Xu Ning hugged him a little rudely, and the two kissed passionately in the car, and their hands were touching everywhere restlessly, especially Gadot, whose hands were more flexible.

"Ning, it's been more than a month, and I'm very happy to finally be able to kiss you." Gadot put his arms around his neck and smiled.

"Haha, it seems that you have been planning against me for a long time?"

"Sort of...... After I came to China, I dreamed of you for several nights, and you gave me that in your dreams. ”

Xu Ning pretended to be puzzled: "Which one?" ”

Gadot smiled evilly: "Why don't you demonstrate?" ”

Xu Ning: "In the car?" ”

Gadot: "This car is not small, it should be fine." ”

Xu Ning: "Then come on, don't be polite to me." ”

After speaking.

Gadot leaned over......

——

When the two returned to the hotel, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and Gadot did not go directly to his room, but stayed at Xu Ning for two hours.

Because it was the dead of night, no one noticed.

Following.

The two of them got on the plane to London as if they were nothing.

In the first-class cabin, two flight attendants squatted on Xu Ning's lap to ask him for autographs and chat by the way, and the two had been squatting for ten minutes.

It wasn't until the other passengers shouted that the two passed.

Not long after leaving, Gadot reached over and handed him a small note with a sentence written in English: "I had a great time last night, thank you." ”

This man is strangely polite.

……

In the next two months, Xu Ning was either filming or supervising the construction of the scene, and almost a day was idle.

During the period, in order to relax and unwind, I relaxed with Gadot from time to time, and the small days were pleasant.

Time flashed and it was the beginning of September.

After more than two months of filming, the plot of "Inception" has been filmed 90%, and he had to return to Beijing to participate in the publicity of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

The film has been scheduled for September 16, and through the influence of China Film, the film will be released simultaneously in more than 30 theaters across the country, and the film schedule is all higher than 30%.

This kind of treatment is quite horrible.

In the previous life, the box office of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was 420 million, becoming the box office champion of the year and even in history, and this time, it is expected to exceed this number.

Han Sanping's prediction is more than 500 million.

And, when he was interviewed by CCTV6, he said directly: "Director Xu's "Let the Bullets Fly" is in front, with a box office of 410 million, and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is over 500 million. ”

Old Han really dared to say it.

At present, there is no movie in China with a box office of more than 500 million, and now he actually comes with his mouth open, if there is no 500 million, he and Xu Ning will lose face together.

When Xu Ning was interviewed by the media, he was relatively low-key, and he did not make any bold promises to win hundreds of millions of box office.

This publicity campaign lasted for about 10 days.

Xu Ning took Fang Long, Liu Dehua, Zhang Guoli, Liu Yifei, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and other big names to run all over the country to meet and interact with fans.

The heat is enough.

Moreover, CCTV and various David TV are also taking turns to broadcast this 60th anniversary movie, and almost no one in China knows about this movie.

On September 13th and 14th, the box office exploded, and the major theaters raised the film scheduling rate again on the basis of the original film schedule.

Wanda and other theaters have reached 45%.

And, until the end of the National Day, the film scheduling rate will not drop much, because there are almost no other excellent movies in this National Day file.

Early in the morning of September 16, Xu Ning bought a few tickets and went to the cinema to watch them with Xu Xiuyan, Aunt Liu, Qian Qian, Su Chang, Han Sanping and others. (End of chapter)
