Chapter 644: Becoming Famous
The latter, a popular star, has a very strong box office appeal, and his appearance is also enough to be the third in this movie. He is more sturdy than Takeshi Kaneshiro's handsome face. At the beginning, his strongest advantage is his potential as an action star. People have been clamoring for him to play an action movie and show his skills in the movie.
They keep talking about it, but there is still no movie. Chen Kexin first saw Chen Hao because of the Chinese Kung Fu he showed in the European Star. This gimmick is far more famous than ordinary artists. After Bruce Lee, many action stars have been hailed as the successors of Chinese Kung Fu action movies, but they have never reproduced Bruce Lee's glory. At present, Chen Hao is the most popular one. It really tests his skills for him to play this role.
At that time, Chen Hao was considered after Takeshi Kaneshiro, and some bad news about him came out, such as the fact that he missed a subject in the college entrance examination, which made many advertisers feel uneasy. Chen Kexin almost excluded him directly at that time.
Chen Kexin hurried back to China. After getting off the plane, it was already a weekend night in Shanghai with lights on. He really didn't delay for a second. From the approval of the investment and shooting of a film to the formation of the script and then to the official start of shooting, it is not an indefinite extension. There is only one director like Wong Kar-wai in China.
Chen Kexin was under great pressure for directing a commercial action blockbuster for the first time. Whether it was a transitional work or a work to prove himself, the performance of the three male actors was crucial. They were the soul of the whole play, and the bones and blood could be recreated. If this soul was not done well, this film would still have no room to survive even with a good script and grand scenes.
While slowly reading the script, Chen Kexin's positioning of the role of Lao San became more and more important. He is the male supporting role, the third male. The whole story has nothing to do with him. It is supported by Lao Da and Lao Er. However, as the middle ground between Lao Da and Lao Er, his existence is the integration of the missing things in the two characters' personalities. With him, the audience can see through the film more clearly, and it can also make everyone not easily position the two characters of Lao Da and Lao Er as good or bad.
Chen Kexin booked a ticket at a movie theater near the hotel where he lived. The hotel can be booked later, but the movie tickets must be prepared in advance. The first row is close to the edge of the aisle at the door, which is a very bad viewing position. Chen Kexin and his assistant, who wear hats, glasses and ordinary clothes, are like the public. There is nothing worth paying attention to. Chen Kexin himself is nothing, and he doesn't think he is a star. It is the assistant who hopes that he can cooperate in such small matters to avoid troubles that may arise.
Being able to see the movie and finalize the right actors is Chen Kexin's top priority. He has no energy to worry about trivial matters. He arrived at the theater at the right time. There was no traffic jam and he wanted to go to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes. When he entered the theater, the lights in the theater had gone out and the movie entered the final countdown.
For two hours, Chen Kexin sat firmly in his chair, staring at the big screen in front of him. This is a movie that can really attract him and make him, a foreigner, understand what Lao Paoer is and like it.
Among the likes, he is completely satisfied with Chen Hao's performance, beyond imagination. Hearing an old friend send a message saying that the role played by Chen Hao deserves a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, Chen Kexin has room for imagination in his heart. When he really saw Men Saner in the movie, the ceiling of this imagination space is rising rapidly, rising to a height that you can't touch.
Chen Kexin is honest. He is also a frequent guest at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards. He admits that Chen Hao's performance in this film can also be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards. If he is asked to vote, he will vote for Chen Hao's role as Men Saner, comparing it with the Best Supporting Actor winners in recent years.
If you have to pick out a few flaws that are not flaws, this role has age restrictions and some of them will feel a little out of place. This feeling is not that Chen Hao's performance makes you feel out of place, but that you will think of Chen Hao and unconsciously put Chen Hao on Men Saner. In this way, when you watch his role as Men Saner again, you will have a subconscious feeling that there is still a little flaw from perfection.
If Chen Hao is 35 years old this year, then this role, Chen Kexin dares to say, will sweep all domestic film awards for Best Supporting Actor, without any suspense.
After leaving the cinema and returning to the hotel, Chen Kexin, who had taken a shower, had already picked up his phone and found Takeshi Kaneshiro's private phone number. He hesitated for a few times, gritted his teeth, and turned off the phone screen. He didn't make the final call to confirm whether he would act. What if he agreed? It would not be peace of mind, but a huge trouble for himself.
He is the one, no hesitation.
There is no need to watch "Charlotte's Troubles", a boring third child is enough.
It is the duty to play the protagonist well. Only when the supporting role with a small role is performed well, it is really awesome and truly shows the skills.
Chen Kexin thought about it again and told the assistant beside him that there is no need to go through the so-called procedures. I will go to Yanjing to meet him in person. If we can reach an agreement and it is suitable, don't worry about this issue. What if this kid and his agency ask for a high price? I agree, and give you a chance, but don't go too far. I just hope that your agency or you have enough vision, right? Don't miss a very good opportunity for a small profit.

"Old Paoer" was a hit, and its reputation soared on the day of its premiere. In addition to the initial three fans who bought tickets like crazy to support it, by the afternoon of the day, the good reputation had spread, and some people began to book this show after get off work on the weekend. For the movie, I chose "Old Paoer".
The box office hasn't even hit the day yet, but looking at the movie theaters that are almost full, the box office won't be low.
Word-of-mouth is very rare. Some professional film critics have given it good reviews. Their harshness is recognized in the industry. If they can spread a good reputation, the viewing pleasure of this film will be upgraded several times, and it will also make the movie more enjoyable. More young people walked into the theater. Among the young people who came in, the vast majority were fans of Sanxiaoxianrou. A very few of them actually watched the movie. And among these very few, , there are everyone’s positive comments on the entire film.
"Old Pao'er" is popular, Liu Ye is popular, Chen Hao, Wu Yifan and Li Yifeng are also popular to varying degrees, especially Men San'er played by Chen Hao, who has won the love of too many people, such a rough man Kuang's man is actually played by an actor in his twenties, and the effect is so good, it's incredible. If you weren't 100% sure that it was Haozi, you would really wonder if it was played by someone else. Men San'er's status as a veteran warrior was vividly displayed. After the premiere, someone asked Guan Hu if he wanted to film a companion piece. We will invest in you. After Lao Pao'er, can there be a veteran warrior? For a movie where you are the protagonist, you don't need anyone else. The role of Men San'er can be transferred as it is. Let Chen Hao play the role. We will invest for you and guarantee that we will make a movie that will not lose any money and make a lot of money.' series of movies'.
In the media, this film is all over the place. As the opening film of the summer season, if "Old Paoer" does not perform well, everyone will be frustrated in morale. If the performance is good, everyone will be happy, and it will also allow Feng Xiaogang to act in movies. This previously unsolvable question has a satisfactory answer.
The box office on the first day was 23 million. It was released in the early morning of Saturday. The total box office in the first two days of the weekend was 50 million. The film has soared into the sky. It has the support of good reputation. It is unstoppable and it is about an era. The filmization of symbolic characters has also attracted the attention of many peers and insiders. Is it possible to form a series of movies on this subject? If there is, then the value of this commercial brand will directly reach a very scary figure.
Guan Hu received more than a dozen calls a day, and everyone was making insinuations. Guan Hu, do you have any idea to continue filming? Do you have any idea to film Chen Hao's Men San'er? Just tell me how much it will cost. We are Both you and Chen Hao are confident that with you two here, there will be no problems at the box office.
Guan Hu didn't know how to answer, so he could only suppress the matter temporarily. While the popularity of the film was still high, he really planned to talk about whether to make a sequel or a genre film, and also while Chen Hao's salary had not increased. To a terrifying height, I contacted Happy Times in advance to make an appointment with Chen Hao, and frankly looked forward to the next collaboration.
Huanju Times did not respond immediately. How dare they respond? There is really no time to respond. All the receptionists who receive customers in the company are busy making phone calls, faxes, emails, etc., too There are so many people who hope to invite Chen Hao through the company. This year, he is really going up a big step. He is red and purple. There are too many people who have sent invitations to him. There is no insider, even if you are in charge. For a great director like Hu, if your stuff wants to be delivered through ordinary channels, it will have to go through a round of rough screening before it can enter the 'counter-selection' time.
……………………
At this time, Chen Hao changed his identity and followed the running men's team to an island in Southeast Asia, starting the third running of the season.
Arriving the night before the start of the race, everyone gathered together in the hotel. Needless to say, Chen Hao himself felt that it was too popular now. Everyone asked him the same questions. Facing everyone's questions, he just paid Zhu Yixiao: "There is a saying, I don't know whether you have heard of it or not. You are gifted. This is the gap that you mortals will never be able to catch up with in your lifetime."
