Chapter 540 "Double Thunder Battle" and word-of-mouth recharge

Studio Hall 2 of Fantasy World.

Chen Jingxing is recording a series of interactive interview special programs jointly planned by Movie Channel and Fantasy World.

To be precise, it is a promotional program specially planned for "Interstellar", which will be broadcast simultaneously on the movie channel and Fantasy World.

The main purpose is to ask the creators of "Interstellar" to talk about interesting things during the filming of the movie, exchange some inside stories and information about the film's production, and then intersperse some movie tidbits and the like. In short, it is just chatting and talking nonsense.

There are about three phases in total. The main guests in the first phase are Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin, and the second phase will have other leading actors such as Chen Kun.

The main reason is that the schedule of the main creators of "Interstellar" is really difficult to coordinate.

Chen Jingxing's schedule is basically filled up with "1951". The idea of ​​him and National Film Group is to try their best to catch up with this year's National Day schedule. In addition, the filming is difficult and the production cycle is not relaxed.

The leading actors have already started promotional activities. Chen Kun, Yuan Pan and Nini have started to appear on various programs and even started offline promotions.

Lei Jiayin also has another movie "Fenghuo Yunshan" which will also be released during the Spring Festival.

"How is "Feng Huo Yun Shan"?"

Lei Jiayin finally confirmed his guess.

Chen Jingxing looked at the big head seriously: "It's a good thing that you think so."

It was "The Signal", "The Center of the Earth" and most importantly "The Martian" that pushed him all the way to the position of a first-line actor. All the roles he took after "The Martian" were actually based on his accumulation in Chen Jingxing's movies.

In exchange for his fame and audience popularity, these movies will also consume his reputation and audience popularity.

Of course, some are for money, some are for repaying a favor, and there are some projects that you can't refuse, and you can't be harsh on them.

Moreover, this is Chen Jingxing's second TV interview after "The Martian." In the past, even in movie promotions, he mainly did text, phone interviews, or roadshow media meetings.

Moreover, the preparations for "Fenghuo Yunshan" were also very intense. Although Lei Jiayin took on the project in the second half of 2018, there was actually no script at that time.

It's just that Wu Jing has the project "Spike III" and the support of DreamWorks, which gives him an excuse to block the show. Lei Jiayin doesn't have this condition. There are some projects that he can't refuse, but fortunately he has always avoided them.

On a variety show.

Even a filmmaker like Mr. Xing, who has accumulated the feelings of generations, will use up the accumulated movie ticket IOUs for decades in two or three movies. Who else has a thicker blood than Mr. Xing?

Some viewers even lined up at the back door of the studio, and there were many staff standing at the door.

Chen Jingxing hesitated for a moment, a little puzzled: "The project hasn't been approved yet, and you guessed it?"

Of course, this does not mean that the actor is innocent or unjust. After all, the work is popular and praised, and the actors benefit the most, and the salary is not free.

The two most popular blockbusters during the National Day holiday last year were "My 1949", a tribute movie by Chen Kaige as chief director, and the war film "Under the Taihang Mountains." This is also the main reason why "The Matrix III" gave up the National Day holiday.

This year's Spring Festival tribute films to the Korean War, "War in the Mountains" and Chen Jingxing's "Interstellar," can also be counted as double thunder battles.

Chen Jingxing really doesn't believe that other people have his "ability". Usually projects that are extremely stressful from preparation to release usually have problems.

"Who is the heroine? Yan Xiaoyue?"

Find out more about the great international directors.

In the production process of film and television dramas, actors actually have little control over the final quality of the work. Just because they are characters on the stage, most of the blame is placed on the actors.

It can be said that Lei Jiayin is definitely the most popular first-line actor in the Chinese entertainment industry at the moment. Even Luo Chen cannot compare with him. The main reason is that Lei Jiayin is very malleable.

Last year it was mainly a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Starting from this year, films to commemorate the Korean War will be released one after another. "Beacon Fire Cloud Mountain" was only completed in September last year, and the post-production time is indeed quite tight.

He is not like Brother Xiaoming who makes a good work to reward himself with a bad film, and neither "1949" nor "Beacon Cloud Mountain" is a bad film, but the principle is similar. After making such a

It’s time for many movies, word-of-mouth and audience popularity to be recharged.

"Waiting for me here?" Chen Jingxing thought for a moment: "The characters in the first part of "Once Upon a Time on Earth" have basically been decided, but there is a role for you in "Special Mobile Team", which can be regarded as the male lead.

Yes, but you also know that this is a movie with a leading female protagonist."

Chen Jingxing and everyone at DreamWorks did not dare to neglect the promotion of the movie, especially when there were such huge gifts among competitors.

Chen Jingxing: "Go, go, go, you can stand and talk without pain in your back. In a double thunder battle, you are the biggest winner, so of course you don't have to worry."

Coincidentally, both movies feature Lei Jiayin. He is the protagonist in one unit of "My 1949" and he is also the protagonist in "Under the Taihang Mountains".

Chen Jingxing nodded, understanding.

"Look at what you said, I'm not someone who can't figure things out. I'm going to take a break after filming "The Great War". Aren't there not so many good projects? Director, is your "Once Upon a Time on Earth" suitable for me?

What's the role? How many films will be filmed in total? I heard a while ago that Hao Lei is going to participate in this project?"

Lei Jiayin naturally wouldn't tell the truth when asked by others, so he wouldn't blame himself. When Chen Jingxing asked, he tactfully revealed some of the content.

On the contrary, Wu Jing, who directly entered the list of first-line actors because of "Spike II", did not take any other roles except for a guest appearance in "My 1949" because he was preparing to direct "Spike III".

play.

It's just that for an actor like Lei Jiayin who has been working hard for so many years and is also the leading actor, he basically knows the final quality of the movie.

No matter how thick my blood is, I can't resist the endless variety shows and the roles that come to me.

Know yourself and know the enemy and you will never be in danger. Although Chen Jingxing is confident in the quality of "Interstellar", he is still concerned about his competitors, although the actors may not know what the final film will look like.

Obviously, this kind of low-key can burst into power when the situation arises, commonly known as hunger marketing.

Lei Jiayin: "Hey, who can't guess this? There are not many Daoma Dan in China at present. Besides, you and Xiaoyue are both old... well, that's it."

Chen Jingxing’s production speed is purely an exception, and it is truly a reference. For example, Tian Xinye’s "Sky Eagle Warrior" was approved in May 2018, and it took half a year to create and prepare the script. There are still animated storylines for reference.

, it took another half a year to complete the filming, and the post-production has not yet been completed.

From script creation to preparation to filming, post-production and submission for review and release, it took more than a year to complete, which is indeed too stressful for an industrial blockbuster.

"Why don't you kill me? What about the Double Thunder Battle? Although it sounds beautiful, in fact, it often consumes reputation and popularity."

The sentence "The shooting and preparation time is a bit tight" actually expresses a lot of problems.

However, even if there are only two people, Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin, they are enough to support this program. The audience in the studio are basically Chen Jingxing's fans. Lei Jiayin's national reputation is not even second among the current first-line actors.

Say first.

"Is "Special Forces" going to be adapted into a movie? Ha, I know which character it is... This character will work too."

One is the protagonist, the other is a supporting role, and "Yunshan" is still a Korean war film. Due to the choice, Lei Jiayin can only focus on the promotion of "Yunhuo Yunshan", and the schedule is even tighter than

Chen Jingxing, he was able to participate in this program mainly because he had just finished recording a special promotional program for "Fenghuo Yunshan" on CCTV next door, so he stopped by.

It's just a pity that China's Spring Festival stalls are probably the most crowded and competitive in the world. Even with the unprecedented addition of Chen Jingxing this year, it didn't have much of a clearing effect, and the intensity of competition was not much lower than last year.

"Director, you are too careful. "Interstellar" is the best of the space trilogy in my opinion. Do you still need to worry about your competitors?"

Neither Lei Jiayin nor Chen Jingxing wore headphones, but he also deliberately lowered his voice: "The shooting and preparation time is still a bit tight."

Even though there are many differences between the film and television industries in China and the United States, there are some similarities, that is, for filmmakers at the A-list level, it is important to cherish their feathers, maintain a sense of mystery and keep the audience hungry.

Of course, Lei Jiayin has also watched the "Special Mobile Team" animation. The character assigned to him by Chen Jingxing is probably the loyal subordinate of the female protagonist who is a cyborg. He can be regarded as the heroine's golden partner, and he has also developed feelings for the heroine.

Wu Jing's "Spike III" started writing the script at the end of 2017, and the script was not completed until the end of 2018. Preparations did not start until August last year, and the filming has not yet been completed.

Of course, the first-line actors who have reached the stage of Wu Jing and Lei Jiayin do not know the importance of being cautious when accepting roles, avoiding casual consumption of popularity, and maintaining a sense of mystery.

Although I don’t know the plot of the movie version, I can say that he is the male lead in the animation. After all, the animation is composed of cases, and no matter how outstanding the villain is, he doesn’t actually have many scenes, so I didn’t think much about it.

I happily accepted it.

He clearly knows where his current status comes from. If his first Bole is Ning Hao, then the second and most important Bole is Chen Jingxing.

The recording of the program is about to start, but Chen Jingxing and Lei Jiayin are not very nervous. Chen Jingxing has experienced many battles. He has experienced premieres and road shows in China and the United States. Lei Jiayin is also similar, and has experienced the Spring Festival Gala.

I've been on the interview many times, but this kind of interview is trivial.

If actors are divided into thick and thin blood bars, then in his opinion, DreamWorks' works are full of blood, and accepting other variety shows or film and television dramas with average or even bad reputations is bloodletting, using one's own accumulation in exchange for money.

Therefore, it is also nicknamed the Battle of Double Thunder.

This is also the reason why Chen Jingxing took time out of his busy schedule to participate in this interview show. With Chen Jingxing’s appeal and the title of the final chapter of the space trilogy, if "Interstellar" is replaced like "The Matrix III"

If you go to other schedules, you will definitely be able to travel.

"Lei Datou, I'm warning you, don't slander me. I am innocent..."

"What did I say? Ahem, the recording is about to begin..." Lei Jiayin took the lead and put on the headset at the director's signal.

"Three, two, one!"

"Good evening, audience friends, and the special interview program "Interstellar" produced by the Movie Channel Integrated Media Center and Fantasy World..."
Chapter completed!
