"The fourth episode of "The Walking Dead" was updated yesterday, and it continued to be high-energy. Netizens failed to urge the update. Penguin Video confirmed that it will still be updated according to the original broadcast plan."

""The Walking Dead" ranks among ten hot searches in a row. Do you really understand the values ​​conveyed by this doomsday zombie drama..."

Over $78 million..."

"Edge of Tomorrow has been revealed to be adapted into a game. It is rumored that Penguin intends to purchase the game adaptation rights. Penguin has previously confirmed that it has been in contact with DreamWorks about the game adaptation rights of "The Matrix", but DreamWorks has not made up its mind. It is suspected that both parties

The amount of the copyright transaction has not been reached, and many players have expressed that they cannot accept it..."

"After dominating both the big and small screens in May, DreamWorks is still making big moves. Not only has the long-rumored Sino-American co-production been announced, but there has also been new progress in the casting of Chen Jingxing's new film "Inception," Chen Kun posted on Weibo

Extraordinary power..."

""District 9"! The title of the co-production between DreamWorks and Universal Pictures has been confirmed. Tian Xinye will direct again and film an alien story. Will it be another "Edge of Tomorrow"? Why did DreamWorks become so interested in the alien theme?

Interested? A sentence in Chen Jingxing’s interview revealed the secret, so let the editor take you to find out..."

Since May, DreamWorks has never disappeared from the entertainment sector. First, "Edge of Tomorrow" brought the audience China's first strange science fiction movie about fighting aliens, and then "The Walking Dead" made people excited.

It creates an amazing world view of the zombie apocalypse.

At the same time, Chen Jingxing's new film "Inception" and its casting have also caused waves among various fan groups.

Since Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Award last year, he has become the darling of the film crew, and has been receiving offers from film, television dramas and variety shows.

Whether it was because of the initial support or the breakthrough in her future career, Zhang Ruoyun also readily accepted Chen Jingxing's invitation. Not to mention Qin Lan, she was the youngest among the actors invited by Chen Jingxing. At such a level

Naturally, there is no reason to refuse an offer from the second female lead in a movie.

When Chen Jingxing sent out the invitation to play, actors such as Pan Yueming, Zhang Ruoyun, and Qin Lan all responded positively immediately.

It's not that the little yellow duck doesn't want to take it, but there is some scheduling conflict.

Qin Lan has a temperament that is both gentle and bright, which is more suitable for Chen Jingxing's character.

There is a saying in China's entertainment industry: Male stars rely on box office, while female stars rely on awards.

Of course, Luo Chen is the male protagonist and has been chosen first. The actor’s right-hand man is Zhang Ruoyun, and the actor’s wife who committed suicide is Qin Lan.

The estimated filming time for "Inception" is probably the fourth quarter of 2017.

This year's movie with the most luxurious cast is recognized as "The Founding of the Army", which is scheduled for summer. As the last part of the "The Founding of the Army" trilogy, although it cannot be compared with the previous two films in terms of lineup, it also gathers many well-known young actors.

.

In fact, when the project of "Inception" was approved within DreamWorks, Xu Wenshen proposed to see if a large number of stars could be used to star, because in his opinion, "Inception" is a group movie. Although there is a male protagonist, the scenes of other supporting actors are not

And the portions are huge.

The movie "The Matrix" is even more confusing for everyone.

Of course he would not refuse the opportunity to return to the big screen and make it a heavyweight commercial blockbuster.

However, Zhou Dongyu may have had the courage himself, or maybe there was someone skilled in his team, so he refused to accept the role of "Later" and "The King Behind the Scenes" and accepted the role of "Inception" at the expense of high liquidated damages.

The heroine of Chen Jingxing's movie - Zhou Dongyu's role indeed exceeds that of the male protagonist's wife in terms of role - and is undoubtedly the best choice to achieve box office performance.

Because the male protagonist's wife left inner demons in his subconscious and was unable to take on the task of dream builder, the mathematical genius who was searched for by the male protagonist and also the female lead was chosen to be played by Zhou Dongyu.

On the contrary, Chen Kun is the one who hesitates the most. After all, he is one of the top four middle school students. Let him play a supporting role that is not even the second male lead. From a celebrity perspective, it will damage his personal status and future roles.

of.

Box office performance is what she desires most at this stage. Only when she has awards and box office can she become a super star. Box office is even more important than awards.

As one of the top four high school students in China, although he is already forty years old, Chen Kun has taken good care of himself and was in good condition in last year's "Hot Pot Heroes".

"Inception" seems to have a comparable lineup, which surprised many netizens, including Chen Jingxing's fans.

If such a group film can invite well-known stars to star, coupled with its own brain-burning plot, it will produce a great chemical reaction, and it will also be beneficial to the commercial operation at that time.

Only Zhou Dongyu and Chen Kun hesitated and considered longer.

With a newly nominated Oscar-winning director and a star-studded cast, this will be the most important film of DreamWorks since its establishment.

It means that female stars are not as good as male stars in their ability to withstand box office.

Zhang Ruoyun also has a similar name to Pan Yue. Although he became a popular niche due to the popularity of the phenomenal TV series "Signal", but first of all, due to his appearance, he does not have many fans, and his traffic is not as good as returning to the country. He can only be said to be a national

It's pretty good, and it's more popular among passers-by.

After Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Best Actress, she became one of the most popular actresses. At present, the only post-90s actress who can compete with or even surpass her is Yan Xiaoyue, the heroine of "The Matrix". Her biggest shortcoming is the box office.

.

The object of the protagonist's dream is the second-generation successor of the founder of a modern enterprise group with many industries in Europe that integrates trade, real estate, electronic technology, tertiary industry and other diversified operations - in "Inception"

The prototype of the large group designed in the script is a certain tycoon from Hong Kong Island named Li.

Luo Chen, who has worked with Chen Jingxing twice, has become the leading actor in his movie again, which also greatly cheers up Luo Chen's fan base. The cloud of box office failure during the Spring Festival has completely dissipated, and no fans are bothered by "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" anymore.

》How to divide the bottom of the pot?

What Chen Jingxing valued most was Chen Kun's temperament.

The overseas tycoon who threatens to hire the male protagonist to plant dreams on his competitors is played by Pan Yueminglai.

But the situation is stronger than the people, and Chen Kun has indeed had a bad time in the past two years.

After all, Chen Jingxing's movies have no shortage of stars, but they rarely accumulate stars. Usually the leading actors are well-known, and the supporting roles are made of cheap actors.

The heir to trillions of assets and the second generation of the top rich, the first thing that appeared in Chen Jingxing's mind was Chen Kun.

In fact, Xu Wenshen had this idea when filming "The Martian", and in his opinion, "Inception" is more suitable than "Mars".

There is competition among the top four high school students, as well as competition among first-line actors such as Luo Chen, Hu Ge, and Lei Jiayin, and there is also competition from top actors like Wu Tingxuan and Lu Han.

Especially after DreamWorks went public, Xu Wenshen had more considerations. The reason for "The Matrix" was because he had to sign a "overlord" contract that bundled three movies. He was afraid that the big stars would not sign, so he chose young actors. I will try my best to do this in the future.

Less work, Chen Jingxing has won the Oscar statuette status, he is not worried about the star not coming, and he has the capital to lower the price, so why increase the difficulty of marketing?

Chen Jingxing also adopted Xu Wenshen's suggestion and finally made a cast list.

This is similar to the well-educated man in the script who has a quarrel with his father. He grew up in the shadow of a strict or even demanding father. He longs for his father's approval. He feels complicated about his father's sudden death and feels panic and fear about shouldering a business empire.

The top rich second generation who is unable to do what he wants and is worried about living up to his father's expectations is quite suitable.

The competition among China's top male stars is already fierce, and with the addition of the butterfly DreamWorks, the degree of involution is beyond imagination.

But this also meant that under the attack of first-line actors and top actors like Luo Chen, Hu Ge, and Deng Chao, he basically could not get high-quality movie scripts and stayed in the TV drama industry, even though he was a well-known producer in the industry.

Dad can't help much in the competition for the position of A-list actor.

All the leading actors in important film and television drama scripts have been sorted out by these people. Even for an actor of Chen Kun's level, it is not easy for him to get a satisfactory role.

Pan Yueming has just cooperated with DreamWorks on "Person of Interest" and signed a three-season contract. It can be said that DreamWorks is the biggest promoter of Pan Yueming's resurgence. It is not even just the rejuvenation of his acting career. Pan Yueming is currently more than

His marriage became more popular before becoming silent.

In his handsomeness, there is a melancholy, sensitive and fragile aura of a noble man.

She has already accepted roles in the youth romance movie "The Last of Us" and the emotional urban drama "The King Behind the Scenes", and they are back-to-back, with no time to rest from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the beginning of 2018.

And then the news about the casting of actors one after another surprised the melon-eaters.

Pan Yueming played the tycoon, the designer of the machine, and the boss behind the scenes in "Person of Interest" quite well.

The martial arts movie "The End of the World" that was finally made was put on hold because the film crew was suspected of financial fraud and misappropriation of tens of millions of funds. I don't know when it will be broadcast, so I can only start to squeeze it into a TV series.

Perhaps Chen Jingxing's reputation as the Oscar-winning Best Director is indeed useful. After Chen Jingxing personally called to persuade him, Chen Kun still agreed to star.

As a result, the news of Luo Chen's starring role, Chen Kun's joining, and the news that Zhou Dongyu paid liquidated damages to turn down two movies to participate in Chen Jingxing's new film surprised the public and the media so much.

The star-studded generosity has also made fans and movie fans more curious about the plot of "Inception".
