Chapter 596 Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Wang Shu shot a movie in three days. Is this true?"

Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong and couldn't help but ask.

Filming a movie in three days, when he first heard about it, he thought it was nonsense.

Wang Shu asked Sun Li, Chen Hao, Chen Kun, Deng Chao and others to make a movie. How could it be completed in three days?

This is a movie, not an ad!

Even for advertising, it takes a week.

Wang Shu's movie was shot in three days?

Pull some eggs!

"Really." Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige and replied calmly.

After she heard the news, she sent Wang Shu a text message to ask, and got the exact news from Wang Shu about the film's finalization and the film's finalization banquet.

There was no need for Wang Shu to lie to her, and since he said so himself, he could only really start shooting and finish the filming in three days.

"Really?" Chen Kaige was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to believe it, and then said, "How come I heard that there seems to be a problem with Wang Shu's capital chain?"

"How could it be a problem with the capital chain?" Chen Hong curled her lips and answered, "Wang Shu's new film is only a small-budget film. I heard that including the actors' remuneration, venue props, etc., the total investment is only a few million. ”

"He has been in the industry for several years, and most of his commercial films are selling well. Do you think he can't even afford a few million now?"

This makes sense. After Chen Kaige thought about it for a moment, he realized that it was indeed the case and fell silent.

Chen Hong said disdainfully: "The rumors that there is a problem with Wang Shu's capital chain are just a matter of thought."

"How could Wang Shu not be able to pay for the small investment of several million in "The Night the Comet Came"?"

"If he can't even come up with this little money, wouldn't all these years have been in vain?"

"He now not only maintains the title of No. 1 Chinese-language film in the mainland box office, but also an Oscar-winning director."

"Is this a fool's errand?"

"I wonder what those people think? They even believe such rumors that cannot withstand scrutiny."

When Chen Kaige heard Chen Hong's sarcastic words, he unconsciously took his seat and fell silent.

Because

That's one of the things he believed.

After Chen Kaige fell silent, he became confused again. He said, "How can you be so sure that Wang Shu finished filming the movie in three days?"

Chen Hong glanced at the words and said, "Wang Shu asked Sun Li, Chen Kun and others to act in this drama. With so many people on the crew, wouldn't anyone know the real situation?"

"You only need to ask people who happen to know the real situation, and you will get the exact information?"

The person she said happened to know the real situation was Wang Shu.

However, it sounded to Chen Kaige that Chen Hong had obtained the exact information by asking people related to Sun Li, Chen Kun and others.

Chen Hong has always been a producer and has been in contact with many people, and he does have such connections and information channels.

However, even though he knew this, Chen Kaige still didn't want to believe that Wang Shu finished filming a movie in three days.

This is too awesome.

The mainland cannot tolerate the existence of such an awesome director!

It’s even more intolerable that this director is still Wang Shu!

"But, isn't it incredible to film a movie in three days?" Chen Kaige asked, wanting to ask Chen Hong for her approval.

As long as Chen Hong could agree with what he said, he would feel better.

The dignified Cannes Palme d'Or director and the arrogant elder brother are once again set off by a wild boy.

Chen Kaige was very uncomfortable.

"What's so incredible?" Chen Hong did not agree with what he said, but said rationally, "I heard that there are directors in Hollywood who can shoot a movie in a few days or a week."

"Wang Shu has been in Hollywood for a long time, and his movies tend to be Hollywood-style."

"It's not unexplainable to shoot a movie in three days."

"There is almost no such thing in our country."

"But in Hollywood, even if it is rare, it should be there."

"Wang Shu, happens to be an Oscar director."

In fact, Chen Hong doesn't know if a director in Hollywood has finished filming a movie in three days.

To her, though, that didn't matter.

She said all this just to make it sound more reasonable for Wang Shu to shoot a movie in three days.

It’s just that Chen Kaige doesn’t like to listen to it.

What he wanted to hear was that Chen Hong agreed with what he said. As a result, Chen Hong not only did not agree, but also gave Wang Shu the factual basis for filming a movie in three days.

I was already feeling uncomfortable, and now I was even more confused.

My heart was blocked and I couldn't refute.

Because what Chen Hong said was reasonable and well-founded, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Chen Kaige didn't want to hear Chen Hong continue talking, so he simply said: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if he shoots a movie in three or five days, it's none of our business."

"Our first priority now is the drama "The Orphan of Zhao"."

"The Orphan of Zhao" is Chen Kaige's first film with Shanghai Film Industry Corporation after parting ways with China Film Group Corporation. It is currently in the preparatory stage and will start filming early next year.

After hearing this, Chen Hong wanted to say that you were the one who asked Wang Shu about filming a movie in three days, and you were the one who was in a mood and didn't want to talk anymore.

Originally she didn't want to pour cold water on her, but now she couldn't help it anymore and said: "I don't like the drama "The Orphan of Zhao"."

"Huh?" Chen Kaige looked at her with an unhappy expression.

Chen Hong was not afraid and analyzed with reason: "If Wang Shu had not appeared in the circle, his Hollywood-style science fiction films would not have appeared."

""The Orphan of Zhao" is still very promising."

"But now, it's hard to say."

In the original timeline, Wang Shu did not appear.

Whether it is Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, or directors from Hong Kong, they all stay in their comfort zone to make movies.

Even though the media and the Internet ridiculed him for making movies one after another without changing the ingredients, he didn't care at all.

Today you are filming "The Night Banquet", tomorrow I will be filming "A City Full of Golden Armor", and the day after tomorrow he will be filming "The Orphan of Zhao".

Anyway, everyone is on the same track, nothing more than competing against each other.

As for whether the audience likes to watch it?

Sorry, with a big market of more than one billion people and a luxurious lineup, it can win the box office no matter what.

Today, it's different.

The appearance of Wang Shu broke all this.

Chen Kaige actually had this worry in his heart, but he didn't have any other scripts.

In other words, "The Orphan of Zhao" is an ancient historical film. China has rich experience and many people can make it.

He realizes that he is one of them. When making a movie of this type, although there is no guarantee that the result will be excellent, one can be confident that the film will not overturn.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang filmed "The Night Banquet" and Zhang Yimou filmed "The City of Golden Armor". There is no reason why he couldn't film "The Orphan of Zhao".

Everyone is making movies, and everyone is using this type of movie to make money. Naturally, Director Chen is not willing to lag behind.

It’s not just a matter of box office and money, but also a matter of competing with each other.

However, it is now the end of 2009, and by the time "The Orphan of Zhao" is completed and released in theaters, it will be 2010 or 2011, which is already different from 2005 and 2006.

Because at that time, Wang Shu was just emerging, unlike now, where he has already made several science fiction films and hit theaters.

Times have changed.

Wang Shu has single-handedly made science fiction films, zombie films appear in China, and monster films will soon be released.

At this time, making historical films will give people a sense of going back to the era when they were competing with each other a few years ago.

Chen Kaige would never admit that he was not good enough. He said: "I know what you mean. Isn't it just that Wang Shu has made science fiction movies, zombie movies, and monster movies, plus various Hollywood blockbusters are released in turn, which makes the audience's appetite biased. Movies like this.”

"What I want to say is that there are more than a billion people in our country. Some people like to watch these movies, and some people like to watch historical movies."

"Moreover, when science fiction movies, zombie movies, monster movies, and various Hollywood blockbusters are released in turn, the audience will inevitably become aesthetically fatigued."

"The emergence of a historical blockbuster at this time will actually be an adjustment. It may have unexpected effects and achieve quite successful results."

Chen Hong was a little confused when he heard this.

She felt that what Chen Kaige said was not unreasonable, and "The Orphan of Zhao" might actually have unexpected effects!

Director Chen Da is truly a genius!

You can even think of this!

He couldn't help but said: "According to what you said, the prospect of "The Orphan of Zhao" seems to be very good?"

"Otherwise?" Chen Kaige asked noncommittally, "If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have prepared this script."

Chen Hong blinked. As Chen Kaige's pillow, she knew that the other person was just talking about what he said, and his actual level was just like that.

If it were not clear, there would be no situation where the whole family would go abroad together. Only Chen Kaige went to Berlin, but she stayed in France with her children to play.

It’s a lie to take children to play in France, but it’s not true that I don’t want to go to Berlin to be hot-faced and cold-assed.

Then she saw through it but didn't tell it. Since what Chen Kaige said was true, and she also felt that it made sense, she pretended to take it seriously.

"In this case, the first priority is indeed the drama "The Orphan of Zhao"." Chen Hong finally followed Chen Kaige's words.

When Chen Kaige heard this, he felt much relieved.

Just as he was about to pretend to talk again, Chen Hong said again: "Then you study the script at home, and I will hurry up to prepare other things."

"The Orphan of Zhao", Chen Hong is one of the producers.

In other words, Chen Kaige is a hands-off shopkeeper who only makes movies.

Chen Hong is responsible for handling various matters besides filming.

Equivalent to Chen Kaige's butler.

When Chen Kaige heard what Chen Hong said, he had no choice but to withdraw his desire to talk and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Hong turned and left the study, returned to the room to put on makeup for a while, changed into a set of clothes, put on high heels and went out.

As soon as I went out and sat in the car, I took out my mobile phone and sent a text message to Wang Shu: "Shu, is the closing ceremony over?"

"It's over." Wang Shu was in the company at the moment. He saw the message sent by Chen Hong and pressed the reply button.

At the moment, the world is still dominated by push-button phones, and smartphones have to wait.

"Where is it?" Chen Hong saw that he received a reply just after sending the text message, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"In the company." Wang Shu replied.

"Ah? Are you working so hard? Are you busy back at the company just after the movie is finished?" Chen Hong asked in surprise.

"There's nothing I can do. There are too many things." Wang Shu.

"Hey, I just finished filming a movie, so I need to take a break." Chen Hong.

There is a hint in this statement, which is usually invisible.

Wang Shu didn't notice it either. He just thought that the other party was saying this, and then replied: "Anyway, I'm alone, so I just stay at home. Why don't I come to the company to handle things."

This makes sense. Chen Hong knew that it was indeed the case, but it was not what she wanted to see. She immediately replied: "It's so pitiful. After filming a movie, I should relax and have a rest, but there is no one to accompany me."

When Wang Shu saw this text message, he replied with a text message: "It's pitiful, so if anyone is with you, I can only place my hope on Sister Hong."

"Why do you say you can only rely on me?" Chen Hong's mouth curved, asking knowingly.

"Because only Sister Hong cares about me!" Wang Shu replied.

"Humph." Chen Hong.

"So, Sister Hong, seeing how pitiful I am, will you stay with me?" Wang Shu.

"Humph." Chen Hong.

"Sad, uncomfortable, want to cry." Wang Shu.

"Okay, okay, if the work at hand is not urgent, come to me." Chen Hong.

It was impossible for her to go to Wang Shu's company, so she was told to go to her.

"No hurry, no rush." ​​Wang Shu replied.

"Humph." Chen Hong.

"I also have an apartment in the city. If I'm busy late, I usually go there to rest. It's better than your empty apartment. How about we meet in my apartment?" Wang Shu suggested.

"Yes." Wang Shu can provide a place, and Chen Hong is free to do so.

Arriving at Wang Shu's apartment, Chen Hong took off the mask on his face and took a look at it: "It seems that you do live here sometimes, and it is fully furnished and equipped with everything."

Wang Shu walked over and hugged her, and responded: "The villa is in the suburbs. If you work too late, it will take you an hour or two to drive back. Usually if you are tired and don't want to drive back, just sleep here for one night."
< br>

Chen Hong did not resist or struggle. She let Wang Shu hold her and responded with a smile: "It is indeed like this. It will make work more convenient."

After saying that, he added, "The new film was really shot in three days?"

Wang Shu's hands were dishonest as he said: "The filming is over. If the filming is not over, I will be on the set right now."

Even though he got the exact information in front of Wang Shu, Chen Hong was still quite surprised and said: "Did you know? Many people don't believe that you finished filming the movie in three days."

"I can guess it." Wang Shu looked at Chen Hong and frowned because of his strength, and then answered with a smile.

Chen Hong hummed and said: "It takes a week at least for other people to shoot an advertisement."

"It's good for you, you shot a movie in three days."

After saying that, he asked worriedly, "How is the quality? Will there be any problems?"

It takes three days to shoot a movie, which is a fact before us.

However, when completing a film in such a short time, it may be difficult to guarantee the quality of the film.

"What's the problem?" Wang Shu explained with a smile, "The main perspective of this movie revolves around a house, and the core lies in the parallel universe theory of quantum mechanics."

"In short, this is a film that can be shot in a few days, and the quality will not be bad."

"There are similar movies in Hollywood, so you don't have to worry."
