Chapter 1198: Raising the White Flag with High Means

Line up, goose-step, run, and even blend into the line.

Chen Hao had his first run-in with a squad soldier in his film. The run-in was over in less than thirty minutes. He knew everything a squad leader needed to do, and he just followed the script during the run-in. some pictures.

After the flood disaster begins, the troops are the absolute main force in flood fighting and rescue operations. After receiving orders, they will immediately assemble and rush to the front line of flood fighting and rescue operations.

In the script, Chen Hao's appearance is directly on the embankment, and the plot unfolds as a corner. The entire flood fighting and rescue process must be shown from top to bottom and from multiple angles, including local victims rescuing themselves, disaster relief teams formed by relevant departments, firefighters...

The part of the army is planned to be unfolded from the perspective of Chen Hao's class. His role in the play is really just a small supporting role in more than a dozen scenes. In reality, his training is from the moment he receives the order, the whole team sets off, gets on the bus, prepares for battle, and arrives at the designated location. A series of process demonstrations. As the squad leader, he gives orders, not only to do well himself, but also throughout the entire process. All standards refer to real grassroots squad leaders.

Many people on the crew were dumbfounded. No one on the crew of the main theme movie had ever worked with the big star Chen Hao. The previous assistant shooting team of "Awesome, My Country" was also his team. These self-proclaimed "most Members of the professional team feel that relatively military management is more suitable for the crew, rather than a team that constantly compromises for big stars and pursues commercial results.

Both parties are in the same circle, but have two completely different ideas. One side feels that the other party is old-fashioned and does not want to change and still thinks in a very rigid framework; the other side feels that the other party is putting the cart before the horse and transforming the crew's functions into a pure service-oriented one. Rather than continuing to maintain an adequate leadership position.

When Zheng Xiaolong saw this scene, without saying a word, he went directly to Chen Hao to discuss adding scenes. He also saw that the content of more than a dozen scenes made this singer, who was like a super singer, casually appear in a certain scene. It's like singing a song in a performance. There are no requirements on the environment or sound. Everyone can sing a cappella and have the effect of making the audience cheer and applaud.

In the additional scene, starting from receiving the order to organize the team, pack up the bags, get in the car and start heading to the disaster site, the whole process will be presented in the form of editing. The entire scene will focus on Chen Hao's class and his company.

He might shoot a dozen scenes for two or three days, and then add another scene for two or three days. I used to think that the big star's previous public image might have been faked. After seeing how powerful he was, Zheng Xiaolong realized a problem. He came early enough, and the filming on the other side of the dam didn't start, so he just It's impossible to enter the field and stay there all the time. So what's the purpose of him coming so early?

This is the real attitude, and this is the personal attitude he conveys to the entire crew.

After staying for three days, Chen Hao left the crew and waited for the call from the crew in the middle of filming. At that time, he would have a very difficult few days of filming when he joined the crew.

After he came out, he joined the production of "Lost". Now he is no longer the director, and he really doesn't have time to deal with many trivial directing tasks. The screenwriter still relies on him as the main body. He is the chief producer. To put it bluntly, there is no need to change the soup. One type of dressing change is identity change. When the shooting is going well, he can be an actor waiting for the shooting. When the shooting is not going well, he can participate in the shooting of the entire crew and go to the city to make adjustments at any time. Several young directors trained by the company are now almost experienced. Taking a big drama like "Lost" to become famous can be understood as their good luck, and it can also be understood that the burden placed on them by the company is heavy enough.

One advantage of filming in the Lost City was that he could enjoy some privileges. One day he decided to shoot a morning movie, but he took everyone with him to a movie theater in the Lost City's commercial district, and booked two screenings, one normal screening. The staff and crew members of the hall went to see the actors in a VIP hall with a special passage. He did not feel that he had to be special, but the movie he watched this time had to be a little special. It was best not to be photographed head-on by the media. , to avoid unnecessary complications.

Megan Fox participated in the $400 million global production "Bad Boys", and when she was candidate for the sequence in "Forrest Gump", Chen Hao did not make up her mind on who to choose. Instead, she made the choice first. It was quite a sensational news at that time, and there were also some rumors, which were not very good for Chen Hao. Although Haomen fans later let Megan Fox also try what it means that big traffic stars cannot be offended, but at that time, it was true that He dodged Chen Hao, causing him to lose face.

"Forrest Gump" was filmed and released as usual without any impact. However, there was no news for a long time after the filming of "Jedi Men" was completed. For the entire last year, Megan Fox simply did not come out and did not dare to come out. , once she was surrounded by the media, they all asked her about her evaluation of "Forrest Gump". The implication is, do you have any regrets? After filming "Forrest Gump", you are a big hit.

"Bad Boys" has been delayed for more than half a year before it was released today. It was originally a summer release, but then everyone felt that it must be on the Christmas release, otherwise the awards season has begun and "Forrest Gump" won the award. Easy to do.

It has never been on the list, but after the Oscars ended, this film was on the list. You know, not only "Forrest Gump", but "The Embalmer" is also being re-released in an orderly manner. For films that have won awards, even if you have With a very good box office, there will be a lot of people watching you. After you win the award, there will be a small number of screens for you to show again, just to take advantage of the east wind to get some more box office.

Everyone doesn’t quite understand Universal’s positioning of this film. You have to have confidence. It was supposed to be released last summer. It was obviously avoiding the rhythm of Forrest Gump. Why is it suddenly released again? You have to wait another half month. After a month, the residual heat of Oscar has dissipated. Anyway, why don’t you give up? What do you mean at this time?

There is no answer, and no one has leaked the news. Anyway, it has just been released. The domestic authorities have given this film global synchronization. The reasons are very complicated. Firstly, this is not a good schedule. Secondly, it is profitable to let this film come in. With Chen Hao Even if it is negative, there are still followers. Universal considered it this way, so it paid a lot of money to come in. The domestic side has no objections. The opinions of Haomen fans are very unified. Let’s see how you die? We're not going to buy a ticket.

The unity of Haomen fans is something that Universal must take into consideration. What they want is this group of curious viewers, and what they want is the attention of the media. As long as it is reported globally, even if the box office in China ends up being completely dead, there are also other regions, especially It is supported in North America.

"What do you mean? Be careful and don't hide any dirty tricks behind your back. This is unreasonable no matter how you look at it now." Uncle Ge sat next to Chen Hao. Because of Chen Hao, Uncle Ge had been I am also paying attention to some external things. Like everyone else, I feel that "Jedi Men" was released at this time, and deliberately went to China to pay a huge price for a simultaneous global premiere that would definitely be humiliating. What is the purpose?

"Shall we watch the movie first?" Chen Hao was also confused. The American side had asked Mr. Hu to help find out what was going on.

When the movie started to show, everyone was dumbfounded. Chen Hao simply signaled for the lights in the VIP hall to turn on. He looked left and right and looked at the actors around him who were filming "Lost". Everyone had the same look in their eyes. Full of shock and disbelief, what on earth are you playing?

Raise the white flag?

It is absolutely impossible for the film to be made with 400 million yuan, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be a series of movies before. The quality of the entire film is at the level of tens of millions of investments in Hollywood at best. The special effects are barely eye-catching, and the plot is nothing new as always. This is a very ordinary and ordinary special effects commercial film. It is not even a blockbuster. It does not need to be compared to "Forrest Gump", nor can it be compared to the commercial film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" made by Chen Hao.

A low-key release.

Deliberately during the time period when the Oscar fever has not subsided.

The price of entering China is a very low box office share.

There has been no big promotion.

Any dirty tricks must be reflected in the premise that your film is of sufficient quality to work. At this moment, the only thing that can be understood is that Universal raised the white flag in advance, considering the future of this film and even Megan Fox as an actor, and deliberately went to China. To synchronize with the world, this is showing weakness to Chen Hao. Why is this? Isn’t the issue of face important?

Why?

Where is the answer?

Doing this is equivalent to Universal putting its own face and Megan Fox's face in front of him, telling him in the most respectful manner, come on, hit me, I was wrong, as long as you vent your anger, it will be fine?

The show of goodwill was true. Chen Hao and the others left the cinema without finishing the movie. There was really nothing to watch. Those who have never seen Hollywood commercial blockbusters will occasionally see one like this on a bus. Although they had no choice but to watch the movie, they, as professional actors, really had no intention of watching it to the end.

After leaving the cinema, Chen Hao received a call from Mr. Hu: "Haozi, Universal has a big production recently, and the leading actor position is reserved for you. The salary will be 20 million plus 5% of the box office share. The script will be sent to you at any time." You, in the actor contract, all the positions regarding your permissions on the crew are blank, you can fill them in as you like. "Bad Boys" deliberately did this to express its goodwill to you, and Megan Fox will not be able to appear in the short term. "

Chen Hao frowned. He didn't agree to this first, but he felt that there was more to it than that. Even if it wasn't a dirty trick, it wasn't just a show of goodwill. His public image was definitely not that of a petty person. If Universal has this intention and shows enough sincerity, he will agree, then this...

"Qiu Yu, immediately arrange for people from the company to contact Lele and ask their companies in Magic City and Yangcheng to help go to major theaters to check the ticket purchase status of "Jedi Men". In addition, keep an eye on it immediately. news."

He thought of a possibility, and it was quickly confirmed. Damn it, master, he is not only good at capital operation, but also his method of bringing the dead back to life is really good.
