Chapter 973: Science Fiction Turned Into Comedy? "Dying to Survive" Starts Filming! Is Han Sanping's Family Fortune in Jeopardy?

In the blink of an eye, there is only the last day left in October.

Affected by word-of-mouth, film schedule, and film reviews, the box office of "Donkey Gets Water" unexpectedly surged on the second day, rising from 20 million to 30 million, which really surprised many people!

However, limitations still exist.

At least in terms of popularity, this newly released movie is completely incomparable to movies like "Kunlun Temple" that are about to be released.

Throughout the morning, the number one spot on the hot search list was dominated by the news that the key for "Kunlun Temple" has been extended.

"The fantasy, action and adventure movie "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Kunlun Temple", controlled by Feiyue Films and directed by Ning Hao, starring Liu Ye, Shu Chang, Chen Minghao, Huang Bo and others, has been in theaters for 30 days, with a total box office revenue of 38.77 billion, successfully entered the key extension stage!

The film currently has 5.23 million new daily box office left, and the box office is expected to be around 3.95 billion, so stay tuned..."

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Hao suddenly ran back from Xiangjiang.

As soon as he entered Chen Fei's office, he sighed and muttered: "Alas! This movie has entered the late stage, and it is really difficult to increase the box office! It is only 130 million short of breaking 4 billion, but today's new box office has collapsed , don’t you think this is cheating?”

Chen Fei ignored his complaints, but looked at him doubtfully and asked curiously: "Aren't you in Xiangjiang? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"I've been busy with a lot of things lately, so I came back, and the filming there is already on track, so there's no point in me staying..."

Director Ning Da started talking nonchalantly about his schedule, such as attending Li Bian's Director Master Forum, being a judge at the Berlin International Film Festival, etc.

"Oh! By the way, my family is already working on a script based on "Country Teacher". After I finish the first draft, I will bring it to you to read, and you can help give me advice."

As soon as he heard this topic, the corners of Chen Fei's mouth twitched uncontrollably...

"Are you sure you want to adapt a science fiction novel into a comedy?"

"Ang! Sure! We have finalized it."

"Okay, since you insist on doing this, then do whatever you want."

Chen Fei didn't know what to say. Ning Hao had already filmed three movies in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. Now he had to make a comedy to change his mind. No one could stop him and could only let him have fun. .

It is definitely impossible for a movie to lose money. With the reputation Director Ning has accumulated, he has many followers.

Just doing this may deplete his box office appeal.

…

On November 1st, the production of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was officially announced.

The crew did not hold a particularly grand opening ceremony. After all, this is a reality-themed movie, not a commercial blockbuster aimed at making box office profits.

Suffering is not worthy of praise.

Chen Fei is even planning to publicize as few overly sad scenes as possible during the film's promotions to avoid causing negative social impact.

It is enough that this movie can be successfully filmed, can be successfully released in theaters, and can improve the miserable lives of some people.

As for whether the box office is large or small, for him, it is the least worthy of attention.

However, no matter how low-key the crew is, the hot searches have not let them go.

Throughout the morning, the news that ""I'm Not the God of Medicine" is officially launched" has been ranked No. 1 on Weibo's hot search list, attracting many netizens to watch.

However, because the crew refused to accept media interviews and visits, not much news about the filming has leaked out.

The time soon came to noon.

At that moment at 12 o'clock, very suddenly, a hot spot! Big bang! Hot searches suddenly appeared on Weibo, major portals, and entertainment headlines, triggering the attention and exploration of countless people in the entire entertainment, film and television industry, and even the financial industry!

"This morning, many film and television companies such as Beijing West Culture, Changshengtian Pictures, China Film, Bona, and Anle Pictures held a high-profile media press conference in Beijing, officially announcing that they will jointly produce the 'Hairstyle Oriental Myth Series of Movies'—— "Feng Shen"!

"It is reported that "Feng Shen" is adapted from the ancient Chinese novel about gods and demons "The Romance of the Gods" and the Southern Song Dynasty script "Wu Wang Conquers Zhou Ping Hua". It mainly tells the story of Ji Fa and others who resisted the tyranny under the tyrannical rule of Shang King Yin Shou and the fox demon Daji. The story of a large-scale war that spread to the three realms of humans, immortals and monsters.”

"At the press conference, Wu Ershan, the screenwriter, director, and producer of "Feng Shen" said: "The "Feng Shen" series of movies will be presented in the form of a trilogy, and each film will be a visual and spiritual experience. Shocking.

In order to ensure the quality and effect of the film, the producers decided to complete the filming of the trilogy in one-off sets. "

"Song Ge, Chairman of Beijing West Culture, gave a speech: The budget of the "Feng Shen" trilogy will be as high as 3 billion yuan. This not only sets a new record for domestic films in terms of investment scale, but also strives to be in line with international standards in terms of production level! "

"La Chikang, chairman of China Film Group Corporation, solemnly announced at a press conference that "Fengshen" will recruit tens of thousands of amateur actors from around the world early next year to form a "Fengshen" training camp. The audience brings an unprecedented sense of participation and anticipation.

Only actors who have been strictly selected and carefully trained can truly interpret each character in "Fengshen", allowing the audience to feel the shock and touch from the bottom of their hearts during the movie viewing process..."

The entire film and television industry, as well as the entertainment industry and financial industry, seemed to have completely exploded with the announcement of "The Trilogy of the Gods"!

You know, in July this year, "Legend of the Gods" produced by Bona Pictures just set a new box office record.

But only 4 months have passed, and "The Trilogy of the Gods" has been released again.

And the most important thing is that the investment in this movie actually increased to 3 billion yuan!

That horse riding is 3 billion! It’s not 300 million!

Even if it is a series of movies, the investment cost of a movie has reached 1 billion!

Since when has the domestic cinema market been able to accommodate large-scale productions of this scale?

With a huge investment of 3 billion, doesn’t it mean that these three series of movies need at least 9 billion in box office to make back their money? This horse riding is too exaggerated and courageous, right?

Netizens are discussing what kind of operation this movie is, and many people in the film and television industry are already asking how to participate in the audition.

As for the financial circle, all eyes are now focused on the stocks of three listed companies: China Film, Jingxi Culture, and Anle.

Not surprisingly, when the blockbuster news of the "Feng Shen Trilogy" was announced, the stocks of the three companies immediately began to rise wildly, and the increase of each company was exaggerated than the last!

In just one afternoon, the combined market value of the three companies increased by at least 2 billion!

Seeing this scene, many "thousand-year-old turtles" and "ten-thousand-year-old braves" were brightened. They quickly gathered a team and began to study the possibility of entering the entertainment industry, film and television industry.

This money is simply too easy to make. If you don’t get in now, when will you wait?

…

At this time, just as the popularity of "Fengshen" is raging in the film and television circles, the filming of the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is going on smoothly.

In the capital, in a small hotel.

Qin Hao, who has greasy hair, unshaven beard and a fierce expression, is holding a cigarette in his hand. The same group of thin men, all wearing masks, are giving the final announcement:

"This medicine will be sold like this from now on. In principle, it will be low-key. If something goes wrong, no one will have to take it. Is there any problem?"

In the camera lens, the eyes of the group of people opposite Qin Hao were uncertain, with fear and despair...

At this time, a man with sunken eye sockets suddenly said in a loud voice: "Old... boss, this medicine... is still a bit expensive."

As soon as these words came out, everyone expressed their support, complained, complained, and lamented, all hoping that the price could be lower.

However, at this time, Qin Hao took the cigarette out of his mouth, glanced at it, and impatiently stopped everyone's discussion.

"Is my riding horse sold for 30,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan? Do you think five thousand yuan is too expensive? Hehe, the genuine version is worth thirty-seven thousand yuan! Do I want this much? Is it still too expensive? Then just don't eat it.

Also, could you please take off your mask when you are talking to me? I can’t even tell who is who? Do you understand the rules of negotiation? "

This wave of strong rhetorical questions directly shocked everyone.

After all, medicine is brought by others, and you can only take medicine if you obey. On the contrary, you don't even have medicine worth 5,000 yuan, and you can only buy medicine with a sky-high price of 37,000 yuan!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Tan Zhuo, who played the lead female pole dancer, carefully explained: "Brother Yong, this is a germy environment and it is inconvenient for them."

"It's a germy environment, right? OK, then just wear them."

Qin Hao suddenly sneered, slowly smoked a cigarette, and stopped talking.

At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet!

This is a silent game!

Both parties are new acquaintances, and there is no friendship at all. Everyone only cares about interests.

The patients wanted to put pressure on them to lower the price, but Qin Hao seized on their pain points and now forced everyone to bow their heads, essentially to establish his dominant position in the transaction.

In "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Cheng Yong is not a good person.

He opened his own Indian magic oil shop, and he also dared to smuggle drugs abroad. He was an out-and-out veteran.

Therefore, he is very familiar with this kind of bargaining scene. After knowing that he has an absolute advantage, he can easily control the situation.

Qin Hao is very good at playing this kind of role, because when he played Yan Liang in "Undocumented Crime", he had a ruffian character.

It's just that Cheng Yong in "The God of Medicine" is not a bad profiteer to the core!

After forcing everyone to take off their masks, seeing their pale faces, and unable to bear the sight of coughing in a germy environment, he finally relented.

There was a bit of embarrassment in those twinkling eyes, and he calmly put out the cigarette in his hand.

"Okay, put them all on, and I'll give you group leaders a maximum of 20% off."

At this point, the filming of tonight’s scene is over.

"Cut!"

Behind the monitor, Chen Fei picked up the speaker and shouted stop, then watched the playback carefully.

Although the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has a prototype, a lot of changes were made during the script creation.

Especially the role of the male protagonist "Cheng Yong".

The prototype is actually a generic medicine that Lu Yong went to India to buy when he fell ill. When other patients found out about it, they asked him to help bring medicine, and more and more people started to do so.

During this period, Lu Yong was just a purchasing agent and did not make any profit from it.

From a practical point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Yong did, and he can even be called "heroic and courageous"!

But if it were directly adapted into a movie, the plot would be a bit too bland and not enough to reflect the "brilliance" of this character hidden beneath human nature.

Therefore, Cheng Yong in the movie becomes a normal person, but he is not a "kind" normal person in the ordinary sense, but a guy full of philistine mentality, loves money as much as his life, and will do anything for money...

His original purpose of selling drugs was to make money, and he had no other noble ideas.

Even after making enough money, he left directly and gave up the road to another profiteer.

And such a design will undoubtedly make his later "human nature transformation" even more shocking!

This kind of transformation definitely cannot happen overnight. It must go through countless struggles and choices, from initial hesitation to later firm belief!

And this is the only way for him to become the "God of Medicine"!

This transformation is not only a tenacious struggle for life, but also a profound exploration and reflection on human nature, showing an indomitable spirit in difficult situations and an effort to find the power of hope in despair.

It's just that Cheng Yong's "road to the god of medicine" in the movie is not without cost.

Chen Fei still clearly remembers that in the original time and space, when "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was being released, Lu Yong, the movie's prototype character, stood up and challenged the crew in court.

You know, Lu Yongke has never sought any personal gain from purchasing medicines on behalf of others.

The design of the current film will undoubtedly cause a certain degree of discredit to his character.

However, when Chen Fei raised this point, Han Jianu assured her that she had reached an agreement with Lu Yong.

After the film is released, the crew will solemnly clarify the entire process of adapting the plot and donate a certain amount in the name of the crew to support such patients.

This move not only reflects the crew's respect and care for the prototype characters, but also demonstrates the humanitarian spirit conveyed by the film.

The story of Cheng Yong in the movie is not only a person's counterattack and growth, but also a profound reflection on human nature in an era.

Chen Fei believes that the authenticity and transformation of this character will definitely make the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" even more shocking!

More than ten minutes later, the clip just taken was officially reviewed.

"Okay, great, I passed the one just now."

As his instructions were issued, the originally quiet studio suddenly became lively, and the heated discussions could be heard endlessly.

Chen Fei turned to look at Han Jia Nu: "Let's make arrangements. We can ask the hotel to send us lunch boxes. After eating, we will shoot a night scene and then go back to the hotel to rest."

"OK."

As the assistant director, Han Jia'v nodded in agreement and went to work quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Yong on the side nodded happily: "Although the beautiful girl is a bit impatient, she is still very neat in handling things and is a malleable talent."

Han Sanping smiled when he heard this: "We can say this in private, but we must let her hear it, otherwise this girl's tail will be raised to the sky again."

"Haha, Lao Wang! I finally know how you got the role of 'Public Security Chief'. In the words of today's young people, you are a licking dog!"

Ren Zhonglun was still feeling aggrieved by his role as a "hotel owner". The thought of having to say a line about trying Indian magic oil made him feel very distant.

"Haha." Wang Yong was not angry, "If you can, you can lick it and see if she can change the role for you."

Several people gathered around and chatted for a while. After the lunch boxes were delivered, they gathered around a table and chatted while eating.

"This La Pik Kang is quite exciting, a big investment of 3 billion? The Fengshen Trilogy? Good guy! I don't know how much share China Film Group has in it this time."

Ren Zhonglun looked a little envious. After all, China Film's stock price reached its daily limit because of this project!

However, Han Sanping, who has retired, suddenly seemed to have a bright idea, and directly pointed out the key points: "3 billion investment? It should be difficult to recover the cost of this kind of project, right?"

At this moment, what he was thinking about was "Red Cliff" and "Taiping Wheel", and the more he thought about it, the more painful it became!

Chen Fei took a mouthful of rice and chuckled: "If we only rely on box office, we will definitely not be able to recover the cost, because movies with Eastern mythology themes like "Fengshen" are destined to only find an audience in China, but currently domestic The film market cannot afford such a big project..."

As soon as he said these words, everyone at the table was stunned.

Wang Yong subconsciously asked: "If you don't rely on box office? How can you recover the cost?"

"You have to ask our Chairman Ren Da about this. He owns a listed company and is the expert in this area."

Hearing this, several people turned to look at Ren Zhonglun.

"Ahem, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, don't talk about this topic, it's meaningless..."

Seeing that Ren Zhonglun was unwilling to say anything, Chen Fei had no choice but to add: "It's just some underwater operations in finance. The stock market can make money much faster than simply selling box office."

Hearing this, Wang Yong suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

At this time, Han Sanping's face suddenly changed!

He didn't believe that La Peikang didn't know the inside story, and now that China Film was also involved, it undoubtedly proved that Chairman Lada was also involved in some corresponding underwater operations...

"Damn it! This guy has gone crazy for his political achievements. Isn't he afraid of any problems?"

Han Sanping's family assets are now in the stock market of China Film. If because of La Peikang, his family assets are all gone, the loss will be too great!
