China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 205 Is Guo Fan Chen Jingxing’s savior?

The news of DreamWorks' new movie project quickly set off a wave of discussion on the Internet. In fact, "Source Code" has not been released yet - it has been delayed for a month, but it is currently starring in the blockbuster "Legion of Super Heroes" with Wu Jing

Due to the pressure of starring in "Slaying the Wolf 2", the film schedule has been basically ignored, but the box office has reached 2 billion, so there is no regrets.

With the title of the box office champion in the history of the new Chinese film, Chen Jingxing and his subsidiary brand - DreamWorks are becoming famous and their influence has been completed. It is through this opportunity that DreamWorks announced a new movie

, and also includes the movie title "Edge of Tomorrow" and the label of science fiction theme.

The reaction of netizens and fans of Chen Jingxing was first surprise and then shock. The main reason was that everyone thought this was Chen Jingxing's new film. Unexpectedly, Chen Jingxing was not the director, but only one of the producers and screenwriters. After checking, the director's name was Guo Fan, who had just been filming.

"Operation Mekong" which has not been released yet, or the director of "My Deskmate"... "My Deskmate"?

This is even more disappointing for everyone. Although "My Deskmate" has a very good box office among similar movies, its reputation is not good, especially in the eyes of most people who have not seen this movie. It just takes advantage of the popularity and sentiment of the song of the same name.

It’s a money-making movie, so I naturally have no expectations for a director who makes such a movie.

Chen Jingxing also posted news about the "Edge of Tomorrow" project on his Weibo, which attracted complaints from movie fans.

[The starring roles are Wu Jing and Li Bingbing? To be honest, I don’t have much expectations. It’s not that their acting skills are not good, but they just don’t feel that they fit in with science fiction movies? There is no sense of CP between these two people]

[Damn! A budget of 400 million? Isn’t that too exaggerated? Not only has the box office depreciated so fast, but the cost of filming the movie has also rocketed. Didn’t “Source Code” only cost 100 million? It’s so big

Why doesn’t Director Chen make the project himself? Not everyone can handle science fiction movies, especially science fiction blockbusters, right?]

[Not necessarily, the script is the foundation of a drama. Chen Jingxing is the screenwriter. I think the film will not be bad either]

["Source Code" won't be Chen Jingxing's last medium-budget film, right? I like movies like "Source Code" and "Fatal Identity" the most. Why do I have to invest so much to make a blockbuster? A Train,

Shocking stories can be filmed in a guest house. Ever since "Gravity", I felt that DreamWorks was going a bit astray]

[I disagree with the statement above. "Gravity" is very exciting, especially the gimmick of a space disaster movie. China has never made a similar movie before, right? Maybe I am ignorant, I have also seen it in Hollywood.

Similar movies, disaster movies that take place in space are so interesting, and it is said that our country’s space station also appears]

[Is Guo Fan the savior of Director Chen? I saw that DreamWorks-invested "Operation Mekong" was also directed by him, and now he is filming a science fiction blockbuster. According to the encyclopedia, Guo Fan's last film was "My Deskmate"

...The span is too big, isn’t it? After filming youth pain movies on the front foot, and military blockbusters and science fiction blockbusters on the back foot? It’s really hard for people to take a liking to it]

[Holy shit, it’s true. Ning Hao, Lu Yang and Xiao Yang were among those who went to Hollywood to study. Xiao Yang also starred in Chen Sicheng’s new movie, and Lu Yang’s "Xiu Chun Knife 2" also invited Lei Jiayin and

Wan Qian must have been recommended by Director Chen, and Ning Hao has also become the producer of "Xiu Chun Dao 2", which is a great network]

[Hey, what are you thinking about? This is all talent. Didn’t Chen Jingxing also shoot "Comet" and "Fatal Identity" before going to study? Can directors like them have a few months to exchange and study?

What can you learn in such a short time? Can this be useful? Our domestic films have already risen in an all-round way, I am afraid that this is just an opportunity to increase our connections]

[Upstairs is a bit too biased, don’t blame Director Chen. Chen Gou is a brick, and so is Ning Hao? Lu Yang is not a brick, right? "Xiu Chun Knife" is very good, and other people’s movies

Most of them were taken before going to Hollywood to study. I don’t expect people to improve their skills after completing their studies.]

[I found Hua Dian upstairs. DreamWorks also invested in Chen Gou’s movie. What’s the Chinatown comedy called? Logically speaking, they should have no intersection and they are not in the same circle. I searched out out of curiosity and found out the truth.

, It turns out that Director Chen, Chen Sicheng, Guo Fan and other directors went to Hollywood to study and exchange together last year, so Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan can be regarded as Director Chen’s classmates. Alas, no one can escape the shackles of human relationships]

[Then this class is like a piece of gold and five bricks... Chen Gou’s Northern Ireland is a piece of shit, making money in the name of a TV series!]

Therefore, this year’s movie related to DreamWorks for the summer season is "Detective Chinatown" written and directed by Chen Sicheng.

[Who is going to post a picture of the entertainment industry network?]

Because "Detective Chinatown" met Chen Jingxing, the financial backer, it saved Chen Sicheng from having to go around soliciting investment. It started filming at the beginning of 2015 and took two months to complete, because the post-production work was not difficult or complicated. 4

The film was released in January and received the Dragon Award in May.

Just as some movie fans on the Internet are discussing the new movie project of DreamWorks, DreamWorks is also getting ready to start the summer war.

"Gravity" is still in production, and "Operation Mekong" is also scheduled to be released for the 2016 Spring Festival after Qin Zhonghe carefully considered Chen Jingxing's opinions.

[Liu Tianwang has to return favors every day. Normally, Director Chen is not an insider, nor is he a graduate of a major. It is definitely not easy to survive today, but is it a bit exaggerated to do favors for a 400 million blockbuster movie?

】

Because DreamWorks accounts for half of the investment, Chen Jingxing is the producer, and the distribution of the film is also handled by DreamWorks and United Cinemas. In fact, it is mainly DreamWorks.

This is actually the first time that DreamWorks has operated a theatrical movie as the main distributor. Previously, the distribution work of several Chen Jingxing movies, including "Source Code", was handled by the four shareholders of DreamWorks.

, or like "The Signal", which was distributed by National Film Group, and although DreamWorks was also involved, it was mainly as a learner, but it had established a certain distribution network overseas, especially in North America, where it acquired Firefly

Such a fulcrum.

After training with so many movies, DreamWorks is actually capable of operating domestic distribution work, but it can't do many things too ugly.

Just like the North American market, film distribution in any film market is a deep water.
