China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 412 Casting for "The Wandering Earth" and the "DreamWorks Series"

Neat and uniform blocks, with octagonal houses surrounded by courtyards in the middle, and horizontal and vertical streets, like a chessboard, create a unique architectural wonder.

This is the building in the extension area of ​​Barcelona, ​​Spain's second largest city, taken by Chen Jingxing with a drone. He posted it on Weibo and attracted discussion among movie fans.

After all, Chen Jingxing doesn't often post on Weibo. He usually posts movies when they are starting or finishing, or when he cooperates with DreamWorks' official account to post trailers, posters, etc.

The preparation and filming of "Inception" were exposed to the sun from beginning to end. It is also known to many netizens that Chen Jingxing led the crew to Europe.

In addition to Chen Jingxing's movies, which have always been the focus of media attention, the actors in "Inception" are also big names, and their schedules cannot be hidden.

Of course, the star-studded nature of "Inception" is also the reason why it has become the focus of fans and netizens. Chen Jingxing suddenly gathered so many stars to make a movie. From the name, it seems to be related to dreams, both in terms of subject matter and star power.

There is topic discussion.

[Is this Barcelona? The architecture is so shocking, it looks like copying and pasting]

["Inception" was filmed in Barcelona? Then I am even more curious about the content]

[Daily reminder, when will the movie "Aquila Warrior" be made? I want to see the No. 1 Mecha fighting monsters! Thinking about a hundred-meter-tall mecha makes me excited]

The main male roles were chosen by Wu Jing, Bai Yu and Dong Xiao, a young actor who was selected from the Central Television Department to play the male lead in the final episode of "Black Mirror II".

Just like the "Beijing Circle", "Jianghe System" and "Tianrun System", it seems that a "Dream Factory System" has also been formed.

"The Wandering Earth" is a film project that arouses people's interest just by hearing its name.

In fact, most people are set up by the expectations of others and the comments around them. No one lives in a vacuum. No one is born to act in bad dramas or movies. No one is born to like to make bad dramas and movies.

Coupled with dream operations, this spectacle will also be amplified.

Wu Jing is still preparing the script for "Spike III". Because of the high reputation and high box office of "Spike II", the script for the next film will naturally need to be polished. He is also a person who cherishes feathers.

[Director Chen, when will "The Matrix II" be released? 】

Guo Fan has directed "Mekong" and "Edge of Tomorrow", and "Operation Red Sea" will not be released until the Spring Festival next year. "Mekong" and "Tomorrow" are both industrial blockbusters, and the quality is quite good, with a Douban score of 8.5.

A Douban score of 8.6.

Also because "Spike III" is still too early to be approved, Wu Jing was able to find time to film "The Wandering Earth". The collaboration between him and Guo Fan in "Tomorrow" was quite pleasant.

In other words, anyone who stays in DreamWorks for a long time will unconsciously cherish feathers more.

People's lower limits are constantly being exceeded. There is a mentality called breaking the jar and breaking it.

And after a person has filmed his first bad drama and enjoyed the experience of "let him laugh and scold me, and I will take care of the bad money", he will not take the audience's negative comments seriously, and he will just scold him.

It doesn’t seem that scary. I’ll try again next time.

And when you don't break through this barrier, you will still maintain a reserved posture as much as possible.

Of course, the buzz is just a buzz on the Internet, led by the media, marketing accounts and fans, it has spread all over the popular big and small stars.

Guo Fan didn't make a splash here, and it didn't take him long to basically nail down the role.

She is not much different from a Chen girl like Yan Xiaoyue. People in the industry can only sigh that this little girl is lucky.

The cast of "District 9" does not have enough stars. There are only two Chinese actors. Wan Qian is the one with the most stars. Although Zhang Yi has more seniority and better acting skills, he is not that kind of star actor.

[Haha, maybe we can go directly to the black hole]

[Let’s hurry up and complete the space trilogy, from near-Earth space to Mars, which planet should we go to next? I hope it is Jupiter or Saturn, I am very interested in gas giant planets]

Chen Jingxing posted on Weibo excitedly, but then returned disappointed.

Lei Jiayin also jokingly complained to Chen Jingxing from time to time that there was no filming, and he couldn't pick out a script that caught his eye.

The heroine was confirmed to be Zhao Jinmai in advance, and the fans were naturally elated and overjoyed. Other young actresses and their fans were jealous, but they had no choice but to do it.

Who doesn’t appreciate this kind of delicious cake?

For a time, the vigorous casting attracted countless attention.

[Following the trend, is there really no second season of "Signal"? Is it just an open ending? My trio, my Officer Li! If we don't save Deng Chao, we will go further and further down the road of comedy.

Please, Director Chen, please separate him and Yu Baimei!】

Barcelona will be the first stop on the "Inception" crew's European tour.

Mainly to shoot the scene in "Inception" where the male protagonist played by Luo Chen finds the female lead played by Zhou Dongyu and trains her to become a dream builder.

[Haha, you guys are going to make Director Chen so angry. Director Chen posted the filming location of "Inception", but you don't care at all. This year's movie fans are so terrible]

After enjoying delicacies from mountains and seas, you will become picky about your taste in other meals.

At this time, the more eye-catching news in the Chinese entertainment industry is that Guo Fan has chosen an actor for "The Wandering Earth".

While Chen Jingxing was filming in Barcelona with the actors, Tian Xinye and the crew of "District 9" also quietly returned to China. To be precise, the crew was disbanded on the spot in South Africa and everyone went back to their respective homes.

[Following the formation, when will the second season of "The Walking Dead" be filmed? What happened to the corpse that looked exactly like the male protagonist at the end? Is it really a twin? Where did the virus come from? If you have the ability to whet your appetite,

Fill it in according to your ability]

Of course, this malicious speculation is more like the slanderous rumors fabricated by other fans of the post-2000s. Especially since Zhao Jinmai is still a minor, the public would not dare to spread this statement too much.

In addition, both movies are members of the 2 billion club. No matter in the industry, actors or movie fans, audiences have confidence in Guo Fan. Even if "The Wandering Earth" is said to have an investment of up to 500 million, no one will think that Guo Fan can control it.

No.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to complain openly about this kind of trouble, for fear of being ganged up by other company bosses.

[I am not convinced by "Special Forces". Is "Special Forces" not worthy of a movie? 】

Although they are very different in nature, circles such as "Beijing Circle" and "Jianghe Group" are often woven into networks based on equity and artist management relationships.

Of course, all this is based on big-name actors and directors who have the right to choose. Actors and small directors who don't have the right to choose will naturally be good if they have movies to shoot.

[Who makes this guy dig holes every day? It's "The Matrix", it's a space trilogy, it's also a "Aquila Warrior" live-action movie, to whet other people's appetite, and then goes to make a movie that is inexplicably related to these

It doesn’t matter the movie]

However, in the eyes of DreamWorks insiders and insiders, Chen Jingxing is indeed Zhao Jinmai's talent. After all, during the casting controversy in "The Walking Dead", the male and female protagonists were decided by Director Chen himself.

I originally wanted to quell the curiosity of fans and netizens about "Inception", but I was surprised to find that I was already outraged. The complaints from fans were shocking. Why do you feel that DreamWorks will be able to fill up its work just by making sequels in the future?

Where is it?

[When will the second season of "Person of Interest" be released? All the flowers I have been waiting for have faded. I have been captured by the KB organization for more than a year. If we don't save him, we will starve to death! 】

The casting of "The Wandering Earth" was quickly settled, leaving many actors in the industry unwilling and helpless. Although DreamWorks' style and works are different from several major traditional studios, after these few years, it has become vaguely

A vague "dream circle" also emerged from the water.

The wandering earth, how can the earth wander?

[I am also angry with Director Chen, when will "Black Mirror II" be released? Hasn't it been filmed long ago? The birth of the director makes me feel uneasy. You don't need a director like Zhou Zhe to choose a short film. It's inexplicable.

Wen Zhian, I want to see what works I can produce]

It can be said that the casting of the main characters are all acquaintances of DreamWorks. Bai Yu once played the male lead in "Mirage", Wu Jing was the male lead in "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by Guo Fan, and was also the male lead in "Wolf" produced by DreamWorks.

"The Wandering Earth" is the second collaboration between him and Guo Fan.

It was even rumored that he had a nose and eyes. It was said that when filming "The Walking Dead", Director Chen once visited the crew of "The Walking Dead", and then...

[What a spectacular comment. It shows how unpopular Chen Jingxing’s evil deeds of digging holes everywhere and then leaving them for a year or two are unpopular and he has committed countless crimes!]

Compared with Tian Xinye's low profile, Guo Fan has taken the lead here, and even surpassed Chen Jingxing's "Inception" among science fiction fans and ordinary netizens.

This is why Luo Chen would be sulky because of the reputation of "Journey to the West: Demons". He kept a low profile for several months and shamelessly asked for a supporting role in "Black Mirror II". In fact, he didn't do it before starring in "Fatal Identity".

I have made movies with lower ratings than "Journey to the West".

In addition, it was not a drama with Chen Jingxing, but a co-production, so the media and netizens did not pay much attention to it.

[The people above are probably disappointed. DreamWorks is good at screenwriters and scripts. As long as the script is good, how bad can it be? Being selected by Director Chen is actually a victory. Even a tethered dog cannot make a bad movie.

】

Wu Jing has experienced the industrialized shooting process of "Edge of Tomorrow" and has integrated himself into the DreamWorks production team. "Spike II" was finally formed under the careful polish of the DreamWorks screenwriting team, and has experienced overwhelming audiences and public opinion.

praise, all of which gave him a stronger sense of responsibility for "Spike III".

The scene in the original version is in Paris, and Chen Jingxingjue's Barcelona is also very suitable, especially the extension area, with its densely packed but neatly arranged octagonal houses and criss-crossing chessboard-like streets, which has both European architectural style and a unique feel.

of surreal city planning style.

DreamWorks does not have a brokerage business, so it does not need to customize works for its artists or use resources to promote its artists. This makes DreamWorks more powerful when facing artists and more flexible in selecting actors from the entire market.

More capable and willing to discover new faces.

But in addition to brokerage contracts and equity relationships, there is such a thing as favor in the world.

These actors who have cooperated with DreamWorks and satisfied directors such as Chen Jingxing during the cooperation process are vaguely labeled by DreamWorks, and have a greater chance of being "flopped".

This may be the most mysterious opportunity in the entertainment industry. It is no wonder that most people in the industry are a bit "feudal and superstitious".
