Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Charlotte is troubled.

This is a movie that is even crazier than the previous "Awkward" and has a higher box office.

this movie.

Shen Teng's dream life started.

However, although the box office of this movie was astonishingly high, his production cost was much lower than that of Thai Jon.

If you want to compare.

So.

The production cost of the movie "Charlotte Worry" was similar to that of the first "Journey to the Road", only a little over 10 million.

so.

When he came to shoot again at this time, Chen Ping was not prepared to spend more money.

Although Chen Ping does have the money.

But that's not necessary.

First of all, none of the current members of Huahua Mahua are big names.

Not only is it not a big name.

Not even one of them is a star.

He is worse than the actors in "Thailand".

So when it comes to actors and actresses, there’s basically not much.

If you add them all up, the maximum is 1 million.

This 1 million is not just for Happy Twist, it also includes other actors.

As for the remaining 9 million.

Although it seems like little, it is actually enough.

The reason is because.

Troubled Charlotte is a very simple show.

He doesn't need a big scene.

No special effects are needed.

It doesn’t require a lot of production funds.

Even directors, photographers, lighting engineers... stage managers... are not needed.

This is because there is Happy Twist.

Therefore, if it is controlled within 10 million, there is no problem.

certainly.

Although the production cost is low, it does not mean that the film is not good-looking.

In terms of comedy level.

Chen Ping thinks.

Charlotte's troubles are much funnier than Taiji's.

otherwise.

How could this movie make Shen Teng an instant hit?

certainly.

This drama brings not only Shen Teng, but also actors Ma Li, Yuan Hua, Allen, Wang Zhi... and Tian Yu, who plays Teacher Wang.

That is, Miss Tang's ex-boyfriend, Wang Qinian in Qing Yunian.

…

"Brother Ping, this is the latest script we wrote."

"So fast."

"Brother Ping, I have written it before, and now I am revising it according to your request."

"nice."

He took the script handed over by Peng Damo and Yuan Fei.

Chen Ping took a look and found that it was basically the same as "Charlotte's Trouble" in his previous life.

If we follow this script, there shouldn't be any problems.

As for who Peng Damo and Yuan Fei are?

They are the directors of Happy Twist.

This is the advantage of Happy Twist.

They have actors, directors, and even a whole crew with everything they need.

In this case, Chen Ping stopped inviting other directors and directly asked them to direct "Charlotte Trouble".

The two of them were extremely excited when they received Chen Ping's mission.

The next day, according to Chen Ping's request, the entire script was completed.

Moreover, the two also said.

They are fully prepared and can shoot the film within 15 days.

Heard for 15 days.

Chen Ping had some surprises.

This is a bit fast.

Feeling a little worried, Chen Ping asked: "Da Mo, Yuan Fei, can you guarantee that the filming will be completed within 15 days?"

"Brother Ping, absolutely you can."

Yuan Fei and Peng Damo said at the same time.

Chen Ping had some doubts.

Peng Damo said again: "Brother Ping, you don't know. This play is adapted from our play, and we have performed this play more than 50 times before. Although there are some differences between the movie and the play , but the general plot is still the same. Therefore, whether it is from the shooting or the actors' performances, we are very confident."

"So that's the case."

At this point, Chen Ping also nodded.

The Troubles of Charlotte was originally adapted from a play performed by Happy Twist.

So these actors are also very familiar with this play.

Now do it again.

Even if it’s a movie, there’s not much of a problem.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping nodded: "Okay, you guys try it first. If you can really finish the filming within 15 days, then maybe you can take over the filming of Thai Awkward."

By now, "囧囧" has been released, it is almost ready to be taken off the shelves.

If there is a new drama produced by Chen Ping at this time, the market temperature is still there, and there will definitely be a good response.

Upon hearing this, the two of them understood that this opportunity was very rare, and once again promised: "Brother Ping, we will finish the filming within 15 days."

"Okay, you go and do your work."

…

Then time.

The Charlotte crew was quickly formed.

90% of the main actors, as well as the director, stage management, and team are from Happy Twist Theater.

As for some other actors.

When they heard that it was Chen Ping's work, other actors came to act in Chen Ping's play at the risk of breaking the contract.

Is there anything else to say?

The box office revenue exceeded 1 billion yuan, which is really shocking.

Shocked.

They never imagined that one day a movie would gross more than 1 billion at the box office.

And really when a movie is broken.

So.

Chen Ping has become a partner that everyone in the domestic film market wants to cooperate with.

certainly.

It's not just him.

I heard that Chen Ping has made another movie.

Major theater companies have also extended olive branches to Chen Ping.

Among them, the one that gave Chen Ping the best conditions was Wanda Cinema Line.

Principal Wang, the son of Wanda Academy, personally found Chen Ping.

And guaranteed.

As long as Chen Ping's new drama is launched, they will immediately increase the scheduling rate for Chen Ping's new film to no less than 50%.

This series of benefits has also stimulated many actors time and time again.

The original plan was to shoot it in 15 days.

result.

The filming was completed in 13 days.

In the remaining two days, all the footage shot will be edited into a film, which will be submitted for review as soon as possible and is waiting for release.

But when Chen Ping was looking forward to the review from the top, Principal Wang called: "Chen Ping, the review from the top may be postponed to two months."

"No way, Principal Wang, didn't you say that you would help me with the review from above?"

"This...I said it. In fact, I did use a lot of resources. However, the review is a matter for the superiors. It is said that there is a leader above who is suppressing your drama."

"Press, why?"

"It is said that the higher-ups feel that since the box office hit 1.3 billion in a short period of time, the market must first be allowed to slow down."

"Let me calm him down."

Chen Ping was so angry that he vomited blood: "Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot. The market potential is huge, far beyond what we imagined. Even if we had a box office of more than one billion before, the subsequent films can keep up. It can also generate a box office of over one billion."

"Are you sure you can still maintain 1 billion?"

"Why else would I be filming so quickly?"

Chen Ping continued: "And I can guarantee that the box office of Charlotte Troubles will not be less than 1 billion, but can even exceed the 1.5 billion box office."

"1.5 billion, my God, you really dare to think that."

"I don't think so, it's really possible."

Relative to Thailand.

Chen Ping thinks that Charlotte completely surpasses Taibo in terms of watchability, funnyness, and popularity.

"wait……"

Principal Wang on the other end of the phone took three deep breaths.

He reached a cooperation with Chen Ping immediately, but he didn't think that Chen Ping would be able to create miracles in his next film.

He had never thought of it this way.

Come when he wants to.

The first film hit a box office of 1 billion yuan, which is already a miracle.

Even if the second part does well, it won’t be able to exceed 1 billion.

But although he doesn't think it can exceed 1 billion.

But with a previous box office of more than 1 billion yuan, his appeal is also extremely terrifying.

Even if the next film does not cost 1 billion yuan, even if it is 700 million, 600 million, or even 500 million... they will still make a lot of money.

To know.

At present, except for "Thai囧", there is no movie in China that has exceeded 500 million.

Principal Wang originally predicted that Feng Xiaogang's If You Are the One could surpass it.

But after being suppressed by Tai囧, If You Are the One finally only received 300 million yuan in box office.

so.

What Principal Wang wants is not too high.

No need to break 1 billion.

It doesn’t need to be hundreds of millions.

Just keep it around 500 million yuan.

but now.

Hearing Chen Ping's affirmative voice, Principal Wang was a little stimulated by Chen Ping.

1.5 billion.

This is a data even more terrifying than Thailand.

Although it seems that 1.5 billion is only 200 million higher than Thailand's 1.3 billion.

But if it was really created by Chen Ping.

This means that Thailand's 1.3 billion box office is not a miracle, but the norm.

Once it becomes the norm.

This is no longer a temporary benefit.

Just a thought.

Principal Wang was extremely excited inside.

"Chen Ping, just wait for two days and I'll let my old man try it."

"wait for your call."

"Okay."

…

"Director Qiu, I am Jian Lin."

"Mr. Wang, hello, hello, what reminds you of calling me?"

"I don't want you to open the back door for me."

"Open the back door, Boss Wang, what's going on? Didn't you hand over your theater business to your son?"

"It's not that my son didn't do well, that's why I called you specifically."

"Boss Wang, you are being humble again. Your theater chain has made a lot of money recently."

"So, that's why. It is said that you are suppressing Chen Ping's new film."

"What does it mean to be suppressed by me? I took a look and found that there is no big problem. The review will be completed in a few months."

"Director Qiu, it's not necessary."

"Old Wang, I know what you mean by calling. But actually I am doing it for his own good. It is not easy for such a hit to appear in China. We should let the market digest it and make another one. It would be okay if it hits the box office again, but the box office If the market cools down, the newly opened market will return to its previous state."

"That makes sense. But Director Qiu, what do you think of Chen Ping?"

"This kid is really awesome."

"Yes, not only is it great, he also said that his film will break 1.5 billion in box office."

"Did he tell you?"

"That's not true. He told my son. That's why my son begged me. I had no choice but to call you."

"1.5 billion, Mr. Wang, do you think it's possible?"

"How should I put it? Logically speaking, I think it's impossible. However, the movie "囧囧" made by this guy before has exceeded 1 billion at the box office. Oh, by the way, it has now reached 1.3 billion... At that time, did we have any idea? Have you passed?"

"The 1 billion box office figure is indeed something we didn't expect. Not only did we not expect it, but the entire market didn't expect it either."

"So... I think since this guy is so sure, it's better to let him try."

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Think about it.

Director Qiu said: "Well, Mr. Wang, do you have Chen Ping's phone number? I want to talk to him alone."

…

"Is it Chen Ping?"

That night, Chen Ping prepared to sleep.

Suddenly, a strange phone call came.

"Who are you?"

Chen Ping felt that the voice was strange and asked.

"I am Qiu Wanrong."

"Qiu Wanrong?"

Chen Ping felt that the name was somewhat evocative.

Then when I thought about it, I suddenly remembered it and blurted out: "It turns out that you bastard was blocking my movie."

Finished.

Chen Ping was excited: "Uh, sorry, sorry, Director Qiu, hello, hello, I just said that your voice sounds so kind."

"You kid, feel free to complain about me these days."

Qiu Wanrong smiled, but did not take the words Chen Ping scolded him at ease.

"No, no, how dare I complain about you."

How could Chen Ping admit it?

"Okay, you can complain all you want. Anyway, you're not the only one complaining about me."

"Well……"

"Let me ask you a few questions."

"Director Qiu, you ask."

"It seems that the production cost of your Charlotte Troubles was only about 10 million."

"To be precise, only 10 million."

"For a 10 million movie, do you think the box office can reach 1.5 billion?"

"The box office has nothing to do with the production cost. The production cost of Thai Jon was only tens of millions, but the box office exceeded 1.3 billion."

"This can only be said to be a special case."

"I think it will be the norm from now on."

"Are you so confident?"

"If I didn't have the confidence, I wouldn't have made Charlotte Trouble so quickly. I just wanted to strike while the iron was hot and fully unleash the potential of the mainland market in one fell swoop."

"The idea is good, but after I watched it, this movie is actually just about a dream."

"It's not a dream."

Chen Ping shook his head: "Although it was a dream, everything that happened in the dream was real. Just like watching a movie, we all know that the movie is staged and not real, but we will still be greatly affected by it after watching the movie. Touched. Moreover, this dream is still based on the theme of rebirth. Rebirth... This is a very entry point, a very interesting topic, and represents the dreams of countless people. Just like Director Qiu, have you ever thought about it? , if you could be reborn again, what would you do when you were a child?"

"I haven't considered it."

"Just imagine, now you are back in middle school, what would you do?"

"If... if I go back to middle school, I might..."

When he was about to continue speaking, Director Qiu said nothing more.

After all, he is the leader of a department, and sometimes he has to pay attention to his own image.

It's just that Director Qiu didn't say it.

But Chen Ping's remark brought him back to the past.

If he is really reborn, or is reborn in middle school, he should stick to his dream and become a scientist.

But.

Sometimes reality and dreams deviate.

By some mistake, he entered another realm.

It's okay in this area though.

But this was not his dream after all.

"Director Qiu, I understand what you mean."

Although Director Qiu did not continue speaking, Chen Ping nodded.

There is nothing smooth sailing in this life.

Not only was it not smooth sailing, but there were also regrets everywhere.

Some regrets are in life.

Some regrets are feelings.

Some regrets are family ties.

Some regrets are friendships.

Some regrets are that they missed their dreams.

If only I could be reborn.

He will make up for all the regrets in his previous life and live the life he wants.

This is rebirth.

Although everyone knows that it is impossible for people to be reborn.

but……

Isn’t it possible to even think about it?

"Something you said moved me."

Director Qiu said with emotion: "Okay, I hope your little story of rebirth will not disappoint others."

"Thank you, Director Qiu."

Chen Ping knows.

With Director Qiu's words, he has already obtained the release pass.

As for why Chen Ping can guarantee a box office of 1.5 billion.

One is Charlotte's Trouble in the previous life, whose box office revenue reached 1.44 billion, close to 1.5 billion.

Needless to say, there is now Chen Ping's bonus.

another.

Yes.

in this world.

No one understands rebirth better than Chen Ping.

He knew too well the charm of rebirth.

We are all too aware of the attraction that rebirth has for everyone.
