China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 560: The lowest cost is the biggest actor

The Great Light Cinema of the Magic City is full of stars.

Chen Jingxing and Luo Chen greeted each other in the same corner.

"This is my first time playing a comedy role." Luo Chen was a little excited and hesitant.

Chen Jingxing waved to the artist who greeted him on the side, turned to comfort him: "It's not a comedy character, it's a little bit light comedy."

To some extent, it is more appropriate to shoot the entire story of "Diet on Mars" in the form of a TV series, but Chen Jingxing is rich but not the kind of artist who generates electricity for love.

We should still pursue cost recovery or even profitability as much as possible.

The first point is to invite celebrities, and you need to invite celebrities at low cost.

The protagonists of "Die on Mars" are both male and female protagonists and a robot, so both male and female protagonists must be at least first-line stars. Even the dubbing of intelligent robots is best to invite big stars.

Of course DreamWorks is definitely attractive to celebrities, so you don’t have to worry about not being invited. Moreover, "Diet on Mars" is still a big project and the first space science fiction drama in China.

The heroine is Zhao Liying. As a national 85 actress, she has always been the guarantee of TV series ratings. In addition, Xiao Zhao has also worked with DreamWorks to play the heroine of "Mirage", and is still the highest-grossing movie she has starred in.

"1951"? The post-production cannot be fast, it will be at least the fourth quarter."

Fang Yucheng was somewhat relieved when he heard this. It was rumored that DreamWorks was going to schedule a tribute film to the summer season. The most concerned one was naturally the first military-themed film directed by Chen Jingxing.

Although in the eyes of many laymen, doing so has some philosophies and even tarnished the art hall, they do not know that the art hall is undesirable.

In recent years, DreamWorks has won domestic awards such as the Golden Rooster Awards and Hundred Flower Awards every year. From grand prizes to technical awards, they are a big winner.

Even the three major European countries often show commercial films from Hollywood and other regions. It is not said that who borrows the light from whom. This is mutually beneficial.

Therefore, the story of "Death on Mars" is to create a similar feeling to "the joy of cancer patients traveling around the world in the end."

Of course, the places that should be nervous, stimulating and sensational must be done in place.

"The King of the Sky" is a tribute film of Jianghe Culture and will be released in the summer. The main creators of the crew at the opening of the Magic City Film Festival came to promote it.

To some extent, it was robbed of the Orlando Fantasy Film Festival business, but it was fine if the two film festivals were half a year apart.

The most important thing is to set the tone of the whole drama - light comedy.

Even Hollywood movie stars have begun to frequently appear in TV series in recent years, and Chinese actors are even less reserved.

"Director Fang, it's been a long time since you've seen each other. Your face has become darker again."

The gimmick is quite strong and has attracted the attention of many media and netizens. After all, it is said that this is the only opportunity for the whole country to see horror films from East Asia, South Asia and other countries in theaters, because the film festival does not require a dragon mark.

Invite fantasy science fiction novels, comics, animations, and films from all over the world, especially East Asia, South Asia and other regions, to participate in the exhibition, so that everyone can trade with each other, purchase copyrights, adapt or remake films and television.

After "Inception", Luo Chen only took over "The King of the Sky" and starred in one of the units of the platter movie "Me and My Youth".

After all, when it comes to turning movie awards into their own annual meeting, DreamWorks can only be regarded as a rising star.

At this time, the person who can intervene in conversation with Chen Jingxing and Luo Chen is naturally not an ordinary person, but Fang Yucheng, the director of "The King of the Sky".

Of course, it makes one hundred individual companies that have been in a position to cover the sky with golden roosters or flowers in the past unavoidable. It is inevitable that they are sarcastic.

The male protagonist chose Luo Chen, who is the most commercially valuable Chinese actor he has made famous.

Of course, this is not Chen Jingxing’s fake public service for personal gain, or it is not all.

Chen Jingxing has also practiced it himself. Not only did he put the premiere of heavyweight movies at the opening of the film festival for two consecutive sessions, but he also used his own influence to promote the launch of the exhibition and trading unit of the fantasy and science fiction work at the Magic City Film Festival.

"Hi, I was so hot when I was filming. I have been slow for a month and haven't had a color number yet."

In fact, Chen Jingxing knew very well that some film companies were just furious when they were jealous.

For example, the opening film of the Magic City Film Festival last year was "The Wandering Earth", and the opening film of this year was "The Eagle Warrior", and the media attention is getting higher and higher.

Now the two companies are no longer at the same level in terms of market value and revenue. Even in terms of investment and foundation in mid- and downstream industries such as theaters, DreamWorks is no longer weaker than Jianghe.

This is also consistent with the tone of the original novel.

But to keep the pay as low as possible, Chen Jingxing had to take action personally. Not only did he have to be a name for the producer, but he also had to personally send an invitation.

The more you discuss nihilistic existentialism, the more you should present it in a comedic way, which can be seen from works such as "Rick and Morty" and "The Universe of the Voice".

Of course, this has also attracted some criticism. For two consecutive years, it has made its own movies the opening film, and has expanded many commercial screening units. Some so-called industry insiders even publicly accused Chen Jingxing of "fake public and private", "smudge the artistic nature of the film festival", and "The Magic City Film Festival has become a Dreamworks Film Festival."

The Magic City and the Film Bureau invited Chen Jingxing to be the chairman of the jury, and it was held for two consecutive sessions to gain higher attention from the film festival.

Otherwise, how could the art films that rely solely on the main competition unit that many people watched could attract media from all over the world to report?

The routine with the highest commercial value is that the form of comedy carries the core of tragedy.

In addition, there is "Wolf Tooth III" filmed by Wu Jing, which is also a big IP. It is even more important in the industry than "1951". After all, "1951" is a topical composition.

Chen Jingxing sighed: "There is no hope for the National Day holiday. I am going to mention "Li Yannian" to August...

In addition to the male and female protagonists, even the dubbing candidates for intelligent robots have been finalized, and it is also free.

Everyone has known about the two parts of "1951". Although "1951" has just been completed, the first part may have been filmed and started post-production, so it is impossible to prevent them from scheduled for the summer season.

The role has been basically finalized now.

The influence of commercial brands of the three major European film festivals is far beyond that of the main competition unit movies. These commercial movies are supported by stars from five continents and a film trading market full of copper smell.

The Magic City Film Festival has always been an important opportunity for domestic film promotion, and this has been even more true since Chen Jingxing took over the chairman of the jury for two years.

Although there are only three characters, this lineup and the gimmick created can also allow DreamWorks to sell as high as possible in negotiations with domestic streaming media.

Although he has a status and no shortage of movie resources, he will not take on TV series under normal circumstances, DreamWorks is naturally qualified to make him exception, let alone an unprecedented space science fiction drama in China.

In addition to casting, more efforts are to improve the viewing friendliness as much as possible in the plot.

However, most ordinary people disagree with these criticisms. After all, the films and awards in the main competition unit of the film festival have nothing to do with DreamWorks.

He agreed without thinking about the olive branch given by Chen Jingxing, and the salary was only a symbolic price.

Even so-called public selection awards such as the Baihua Awards can take care of other companies at most at the Actor Awards.

As the director of Jianghe's direct line, Fang Yucheng didn't have much concern when facing Chen Jingxing. After a few greetings from Luo Chen, he tentatively asked about the scheduled time of the DreamWorks tribute film.

Back to the opening session of the film festival, although Chen Jingxing had a holiday with Jianghe Culture and even had a dispute over box office stealing, the times have changed. Although DreamWorks and Jianghe have no cooperation, they have long since been eliminated by time.

"The King of the Sky" is scheduled to be held at the end of July, and it is a month away from "The Eagle Warrior". It is definitely not a competitor to "The Eagle Warrior", but the competitor is an August movie.

The tribute film for DreamWorks to be released in August is not "1951" or "Wolf Tooth III". It is naturally the best news.

After all, "Li Yannian" is basically a character documentary, and is an adapted film based on the combat experience of Li Yannian, the combat hero who won the Medal of the Republic and was awarded the battle.

It can be regarded as a topic essay in a topic essay, and the investment is not high, with only a little over 150 million yuan, which is inconspicuous in a group of star-studded military tribute films.
