China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Magic City, in a greenhouse at the DreamWorks virtual production base.

The largest photography studio in Asia is enough to accommodate half the hull of a huge cruise ship.

But at this time, half of the cruise ship was covered with green cloth from top to bottom.

Below is a large tank filled with more than 113 tons of water.

The stuntman jumped up and fell into the water below, making waves.

"cut!"

Chen Jingxing put down the guide tube and nodded with satisfaction.

This scene is at the end of the movie. The male protagonist was reminded by the quantum ghost that the Inquisitor was being cut by flying blades, so he jumped out of the cabin and escaped.

Because it involves special effects shots where the entire cruise ship is cut, there is no way to use a 3D projection system or a virtual surround screen, and green screen technology must be used.

After all, the actor who plays the male lead, Zhu Yilong, is neither an action actor nor a diving actor. Of course, it is impossible for the actor to complete such a diving scene of more than ten meters.

For example, the senior leader of the competent department did not call him, but called Qin Zhonghe.

Neither he nor DreamWorks ended up directly involved from the beginning to the end, which is half the success.

Although in theory there are good reasons.

Of course, if the leader of the film bureau really comes to Chen Jingxing, Chen Jingxing will really have to pretend to be confused and say, "DreamWorks has nothing to do with this matter" and "If you have the ability, let Jingying produce evidence that DreamWorks hired the trolls to smear it." The leader

Of course, if we can't get out of Taiwan, DreamWorks will suffer heavy losses.

But after all, "Li Yannian" is an important participant in this round of public opinion storm. Many marketing accounts, including some bloggers' UP videos and film reviews, most often compare "Li Yannian" when criticizing "King Kong River".

Therefore, it is necessary to label people, so that people can escape the trap of boiling frogs in warm water and realize the essence of the matter.

So to combat such works, we must grasp the key points and focus on sensitive, abstract, and major ideological places.

Actors such as Yan Xiaoyue, Lei Jiayin, Luo Chen, Wu Yue, and Lu Hongzhe, who have always been considered to be from DreamWorks, also sent messages to him. However, these actors were very measured and just asked where Chen Jingxing could point them if DreamWorks needed them.

Just hit it wherever you go.

But the subtlety of the matter lies here. He and DreamWorks did not miss a single flaw, picked themselves up cleanly, and did not end up at all. He was able to maintain a vague state with the competent authorities and would not force both parties into a dead corner.

However, his agent is quite opposed to it, not against him speaking out, but against him siding with DreamWorks to speak out on this matter at this moment, which would offend the Beijing circle.

Chen Jingxing's lips curved into a smile: "Your old words are so offensive. I am innocent to begin with, how can I pretend to be innocent?"

Who wrote the script? Who gave the green light to the movie? Did the authorities not realize it?

Therefore, although DreamWorks is also the darling of the competent authorities and is an advanced unit praised by publicity outlets, it also needs to minimize conflicts with the competent authorities.

Naturally, several of the leading actors felt the same way. In addition, Guan Hu's wife, Liang Jing, the producer of "Eight Hundred" and "King Kong River" suddenly left the company and confronted netizens head-on - but he turned on the review selection.

Tough.

"The boss didn't call you, but... he called me and just finished talking to Director Zhang."

Put yourself in the position of the victim, accuse the audience of being ignorant people, even say that netizens are oppressing the space for literary and artistic creation, and accuse us Chinese audiences of only being able to watch model dramas in the future.

But once the criticism of this movie comes online and involves serious issues that may even affect one's official position, it will be another matter.

Second, this kind of over-the-top attack can give people a preconceived first impression of the movie, so that even if they go to see the movie, they will always focus on this paragraph during the movie watching because of this preconception.

Is the plot or that plot crooked?

"Li Yannian" has become a third party in the National Day schedule, and its presence is not weaker than "King Kong River" and "My Youth and Me", which are currently competing in theaters.

The domestic film market is not as demanding as Hollywood on window periods.

The aesthetic level of the audience is indeed improving. Some of our literary and art workers may be a little proud and complacent and have not kept up with the progress of the people's aesthetic appreciation of literary and artistic works. It is normal for some criticism to arise.

Being in the focus of public opinion, and even every move will have a corresponding public opinion effect, will of course be accompanied by a sense of power.

Bureau Zhang is the executive deputy of the Film Bureau, and is also a member of the leadership team of the propaganda department, the real talker in cultural propaganda.

His agent has discussed these matters with him frequently in the past two years, as well as the related pros and cons, and it has indeed affected his condition.

It is indeed necessary to strengthen the review of some gift projects.

After all, "Li Yannian" was launched on the online platform on National Day, and Six Princesses also had its TV premiere during prime time.

Moreover, "Li Yannian" is by far the highest-rated and best-reputed tribute film to the Korean War. It is quite reasonable for it to be released on the movie channel and online streaming media during the National Day.

It's a call from Qin Zhonghe.

This directly offends the leader.

"Mr. Qin, what instructions do you have?"

For this purpose, the crew invited a professional diver to be Zhu Yilong's stunt double. This stuntman also appeared in "Spike III".

Zhu Yilong's naivety was that he thought this was a gang fight between DreamWorks and Jingying Film with a bunch of celebrities taking sides. The idea was a bit too ridiculous.

If you want to hit "King Kong River" to the point where both Kyoto's "Battle of Jincheng" parts are shut down and make way for the Spring Festival release, then you have to get on top of it and launch it.

But it is also dangerous to criticize someone, because this movie was given the green light by the official media and the competent authorities.

But at this time, he finally came to his senses, and Chen Jingxing directly named his agent, which made him a little scared.

The phone suddenly rang.

"I still wonder why the boss hasn't come to me directly yet."

You have also seen that, let alone saying that this matter has nothing to do with me at all, we at DreamWorks cannot control the mouths and keyboards of their Jingying people."

This time is different from some previous situations, and completely different from the trend set off by Wang Jiawei's "A Great Success" and "I Like It".

It was this entanglement that made his state a little unstable.

Chen Jingxing looked at the monitor screen again, stood up and called to call it a day.

Of course, I don't agree with him speaking out for "King Kong River" and filming a DreamWorks movie, although some people in the Beijing film industry have expressed their opinions openly or tactfully.

If you just criticize the plot, that's fine. The film bureau has no obligation to prevent bad movies.

As a major gift project that has been approved by the competent authorities, reviewed the script, and even given the green light all the way, it is not comparable to ordinary movies.

Several leading actors walked over slowly. As usual, after finishing work every day, the leading actors and the heads of various departments of the crew would meet to explain the main content to be filmed tomorrow.

After all, Zhu Yilong and his agent are a little worried. He is filming Chen Jingxing's movie. If he doesn't make some statements and take sides, Chen Jingxing may have objections to him. You must know that "Once Upon a Time on Earth" is not just this movie.

It would be very detrimental to his future career development if such a great director created a barrier to him.

If you can't control your body posture well, your whole body will be the same as slamming on the water and on the concrete floor.

After Zhu Yilong was stunned, he couldn't help but be horrified. In the past two days, he had indeed had the idea of ​​speaking out. Of course, his position was naturally on the side of the so-called DreamWorks.

"Tsk, why are you pretending to be confused? If I call you, you will ask me questions and you don't know anything. If you pretend to be innocent, the leader will not be able to get off the stage. The leader doesn't want to lose face?"

This is really different from "The Eight Hundred". "The Eight Hundred" is not strictly a gift film, so it was stuck by the army for a while.

It seems the effect has been achieved.

Only by going up and down the line and elevating the issues to sensitive and major issues that cannot be dealt with even if weighed at a high level can an effective attack be achieved.

The movie praises the protagonist's unorganized and undisciplined banditry. Is it an insult to the heroes and martyrs?

Director Zhang also quite agrees with my opinion, but he just said that some of our literary and artistic workers have taken detours in their artistic creation. It is not bad to learn this lesson, but there is no need to kill them all. After all, many excellent literary and artistic works have been produced in the past.

Chen Jingxing turned his chair and looked out the window, his tone changed from chatting to solemn: "Zhang Ju?"

Then Hao Lei, who was walking up, glanced at Zhu Yilong, who was a little stunned, sighed, and patted his shoulder. She was a well-informed senior actor. She debuted in the 1990s, so she didn't know much about this matter.

More clearly.

Otherwise, when people who have not accepted this point of view watch "King Kong River", they will inevitably be affected by its visual spectacle, and they will not expect that the character of the protagonist, the narrative of the story, and the purpose of the human bridge are sinister rather than touching.

She can clearly understand the viciousness and pattern of DreamWorks' move. This is not something that actors can participate in. Stars have been around for a long time, especially traffic stars who have been praised by many stars for a long time. The staff and fans who live around them

Amidst the praise and hot searches every day, over time it will create an illusion.

"Liang Jing posted another article on Weibo... directly naming our DreamWorks..."

The storm of public opinion suddenly began to escalate. Previously, it was still at the level of fermentation and debate among netizens. Now that the rightful owner suddenly comes to an end, it is naturally different.

Not being able to see clearly where you are, or overestimating where you are.

This is normal, because in the political systems of many countries, power is derived from this.

Of course, Chen Jingxing does not need actors and stars to express their opinions. This matter does not require any expressions of opinion or participation from actors and stars.

This has nothing to do with respect or lack of dedication. For ordinary people, falling into the water at such a height is actually not much different from jumping off a building.

They may not pay much attention to the quarrels of netizens, but this involves a storm of public opinion among those in power and resource providers.

Chen Jingxing looked helpless: "What are you causing trouble? Do you think there is a martial arts competition? "King Kong River" is a major gift project. It has nothing to do with DreamWorks and it has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it all day long and keep it all away.

"

Moreover, the movie channel also got involved and premiered "Li Yannian" on the night of October 2. However, on October 2, the film list was suddenly adjusted and "Li Yannian" continued to be broadcast during prime time in the evening.

It’s best not to offend DreamWorks, and even less offend Jingying Film.

The key for "Li Yannian" has been extended for one month, so it has not been released from theaters. It is indeed not normal for a movie to be released on streaming media before it has been released, but it is not unprecedented.

Are human bridges and other settings an insult to our people's army?

The creations of literary and artistic workers must be supervised by the people. There is nothing wrong with the people being stricter. Doesn’t this also reflect the success of our patriotic education? This is a good thing. It fully demonstrates the people’s support for us and their support for us.

Preservation of the glorious history of the People's Army.

In her opinion, Chen Jingxing's warning was definitely a well-intentioned reminder.

Even though there is no direct evidence to prove it, in the minds of many people, this incident seems to have become a competition between Jingying Film and DreamWorks.

When I arrived at the office, Zheng Hong, the head of the marketing and publicity department, was already waiting.

Therefore, there is quite a feeling in the industry that a storm is about to come.

Then he stared at Zhu Yilong and warned: "Especially you, if you are in the same state tomorrow, I won't have the same attitude today. Just because I don't lose my temper doesn't mean I don't have one. Your agent had better change as soon as possible.

Having an agent around you who is full of speculative ideas will not be good for your future."

This is not something that an actor can achieve in a short period of time through hard work and stunt training.

Actors like Zhu Yilong are not alone in testing or struggling with whether to stand up and speak out.

In the past year, due to the delay in the release of "Once Upon a Time on Earth: Overture" and the constraints of the "Once Upon a Time on Earth" movie project, he has basically been unable to take on other films for fear of scheduling conflicts. For more than a year, no works have been released.

, the manager did complain a lot, and even secretly complained to the big fans of the official fan club on Weibo.

There are a lot of sexy tricks on movie channels, but this kind of cool trick of showing the same movie at the same time for two consecutive days is relatively new, which makes many people say that they have learned a lot, and they are even more excited to join the great cause of eating movies.

Public opinion has trampled on "King Kong River" and even attacked "King Kong River" after it was released. The biggest difficulty is not Beijing Movies, but the enemy.

Obviously, Director Chen knew in his heart that although the beating this time was not heavy, it was not light either. He really needed to find a new management team as soon as possible.

First, this kind of attack is more conducive to dissemination, and it is easier to incite emotions, allowing even people who have not watched the movie to join the chain of information dissemination.

Praise like "the special effects are very good" and "the narrative structure is very innovative" seem to have a bit of yin and yang in the current storm of public opinion.

Just like "The Young Lion" in the previous life.

After all, no matter how industrial the film industry is, it is not a real assembly line. The content actually produced every day may not be strictly in line with the scheduled production schedule. There will always be accidents, either because the schedule is behind the schedule, or because some plots and scenes have been temporarily modified.

"This guy is a bit fierce. Is he really ready to fight?"

You kid, take it easy, remember what I say, don’t speak out, don’t add fuel to the fire, don’t make small moves, then we will definitely win at 80%. Let’s not talk about "King Kong River", "Assault on the White Tigers" will probably be postponed and

We should handle it in a low-key manner, at least avoid the limelight and give a buffer space for public opinion to dissipate..."

The atmosphere on the set was a bit strange all day today. After all, everyone knows about the public opinion storm "King Kong River" is facing.

After Chen Jingxing explained the matter, he beat the actors and told them not to be affected by public opinion, then turned and walked towards the office building of the DreamWorks Magic City branch in the film and television base.

Some people in the Beijing film industry and Beijing circles also began to step aside one after another, supporting Liang Jing indirectly or directly with comments that were either direct, tactful, sarcastic, or criticizing Sang and Huai, and opposed the criticism of "King Kong River" on the Internet.

Let alone mediocre actors, even first-line stars cannot guarantee that they will never take on projects from Beijing Film Academy again in this life.

There was no pressure when many celebrities followed suit and expressed their opinions.

Therefore, basically all celebrities and filmmakers in the industry have maintained an eerie silence.

"The phone rang just now, and I felt a little nervous. I thought it was the director of the film bureau."

"Shh..."

Members of all departments cheered, gathered various equipment, and walked out of the greenhouse in groups.

Because taking a stand itself is a dangerous trend.

Qin Zhonghe laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "I guess you will call it a day. You are the most proactive director I have ever seen to get off work. How can there be any instructions? Who dares to give instructions to you, Director Chen?"

"

It also added a lot of fuel to the public opinion storm of "King Kong River".

Zhu Yilong said a little cautiously: "Director, how about we also say a few words on Weibo?"

"knock off!"

To put it another way, in the fan circle, it is standard pulling and trampling behavior.

Even professional divers will not participate in high platform events from the beginning of training. The height will increase step by step.

But there are indeed many voices directly pointing the initiator of this public opinion storm at DreamWorks.

After that, he started to communicate with the heads of various departments of the crew and the starring actors about the shooting tasks in the next few days and the preparations that need to be made. Chen Jingxing did not like actors who memorized lines from the script during the shooting that day, so he would make adjustments when it came to the filming scenes.

Notify the actors in advance and make preparations in advance.

Qin Zhonghe laughed and scolded: "Okay, don't you kid take advantage of it and act like a good boy. I also told Bureau Zhang these words and also expressed my position. This young comrade Chen Jingxing still has the overall situation in mind, but he wants to cause such a situation

The boycott is not something DreamWorks can handle.

Otherwise, if it is an attack on the plot, it will be difficult to arouse the anger of netizens and mobilize their emotions, and viewers who have not watched it will not actively join the word-of-mouth communication chain.

"I think Director Ge also made it, but it was more mild and not as aggressive as Liang Jing."

Chen Jingxing kept complaining: "...I also want to cool down, but Mr. Qin, you have also seen that Beijing Filmmakers add their own fuel, and now I see that many teachers in Beijing have expressed their support for "King Kong River"

, support Liang Jing.

In particular, Jingying is not a soft persimmon. Although the public opinion fermented quickly and violently, there were still many counterattacks, and a fierce keyboard war started on the Internet. Of course, Jingying was definitely at a disadvantage.

This time is different. This is a vague collision between two giants in the industry. Beijing Film Studio naturally has a deep foundation and a huge circle, but DreamWorks is also one of the top film companies in the country, whether in terms of box office, profit or market value.

It is the undisputed number one. Although its revenue has not exceeded that of National Film Group, its profits are unmatched by anyone.

Although DreamWorks has always remained silent, Chen Jingxing and Tian Xinye, the only two actors, answered reporters' questions at the premiere with praise - although this "praise" has a different meaning in the minds of netizens.

Otherwise, just talking about the plot, both "Lion" and "King Kong River" are not without their merits. The special effects and pictures are first-rate. This is what makes this type of work sinister and disgusting.

Everyone in the entertainment industry is at the forefront of the entertainment industry, and there are very few people in the industry who are deaf to what is happening outside the window.

Chen Jingxing hung up the phone and sighed when facing Zheng Hong who looked at him curiously: "What does it mean to have an elder in a family, it's like having a treasure."

"That's still Chen Dongyingming."

Zheng Hong's flattery made Chen Jingxing very happy.

Chen Jingxing's salary for Qin Zhonghe as an independent director and general consultant of the project review committee, as well as for injecting capital into Qin Zhonghe's daughter's company, were quite cost-effective.

Theoretically speaking, Qin Zhonghe actually has a good relationship with Beijing circles. His willingness to help Chen Jingxing do this is definitely a return on his emotional and material investment in the past few years.
