The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 377 "The Walking Dead" is online

When Chen Jingxing said to give Luo Chen a male lead, he was referring to "Inception".

Although the script of "Inception" is still being perfected, the preparations for the film have actually begun. The production scale of this film is very large, and it needs to be filmed in multiple countries. Some landscapes and buildings that need to be built also need to be prepared in advance.

Casting is also a rather troublesome issue. Luo Chen was also a male lead candidate he had considered, but Chen Jingxing has been hesitant until he came to visit the crew of "Black Mirror II" and saw Luo Chen's appearance. Finally made up my mind.

Luo Chen's transformation in the past few years has been relatively successful, and he is 33 years old, but after all, he is an idol and has been well maintained, so he will naturally give people the feeling of a young niche. and.

Although Luo Chen has been striving for transformation since "Fatal Identity", he doesn't have the courage of Heigu, and he hasn't really directly destroyed the advantage of his idol face, so he usually attends commercial activities, or the videos he shoots are closely related to fine art. The retouched picture is still shown in the image of a young niche.

This time, Luochen played the role of the founder of an artificial intelligence technology company. His age was set to be 35 years old, and after putting on makeup and a beard, his appearance was quite mature.

This dispelled Chen Jingxing's last worry.

It has to be said that Chen Jingxing is indeed nostalgic subconsciously.

""Inception"?"

Luo Chen nodded calmly in front of the manager who was both surprised and happy: "Although the script for Director Chen's next movie has not yet been finalized, it is already in preparation, and I am the first role that Director Chen has settled on." , I will go to DreamWorks to audition in a few days."

"Huh? Still have an audition?"

Luo Chen rolled his eyes at the manager: "Sister Yang, what are you thinking? DreamWorks stipulates that every character must go through this process. I'm not a relative of Director Chen's family, so can I make an exception?"

But even though there is still an audition, Luo Chen is quite confident in himself: "But it's not a big problem. Director Chen said that this is a modern action movie. I just finished filming "Kyushu Sky City" a few years ago, and there are still some action scenes. With experience, fortunately, I haven’t taken any other scenes in the past few months, and I have been exercising all the time. Although my muscles can’t return to when I was filming "Kyushu", the foundation is still there."

Manager Yang Xiaohui still looked a little unbelievable, sat down on the chair, and said after a while: "This is a windfall from the sky, and the will will be bright, the public relations company I contacted..."

Luo Chen showed a cheerful smile, and snorted: "Continue to talk, but don't pay back the money. If they refuse to give in, then forget it. After the DreamWorks official announcement, the discussions these days are just a gust of wind."

At the beginning of the year, the box office failure of "Journey to the West" hit him quite hard.

You must know that this movie not only has a star platform, it is called the sequel of "Journey to the West" and Luo Chen himself is also the brightest star in this movie. He and netizens think that he is the No. [-] seed player in the Spring Festival file, even higher than "Tang Detective II" and "Kung Fu Yoga".

As a result, it was crushed by "Tang Detective II" and the surprise attack of the sudden emergence of the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage", and the final box office did not exceed one billion, ranking among "Tang Detective II", "The Great Sage" and "Kung Fu Yoga". behind.

It was just overwhelmed by "Tang Detective II", and "Kung Fu Yoga" was also overwhelmed, but it also got a box office of 12 billion.

"Journey to the West" has not even beaten "Kung Fu Yoga", which has the lowest reputation. It is really a shocking thing.

Of course, after a lot of media analysis afterwards, they all believed that it was mainly due to the losses of "The Great Sage". For Fu Yao, the blow was too great.

These afterthoughts are false, but the damage is real.

"Journey to the West" claims to have a cost of 4 million yuan, but in fact it is at least 3 million yuan if the water is squeezed out. Luo Chen's salary alone exceeds 5000 million yuan, which is almost the same as Wang Baoqiang's film salary in "Tang Detective II". , Coupled with the announcement of the Spring Festival file, the cost of 3 million is definitely there.

In the end, it only got a box office of 9.4 million. Even if it can theoretically pay back its capital, and there are benefits such as online copyrights, such a rate of return is definitely a disastrous failure.

More than 3 million yuan of capital investment, and then only get back the cost, why not directly deposit it in the bank?
The biggest victim of the fiasco at the box office of "Fu Yao" was Master Xing, followed by Luo Chen.

You took all the 5000 million salary, and you can’t get rid of the failure at the box office. You can’t use the words "the other party has a Gundam". Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to be crushed by an animated film of the same theme?
In addition, as Luo Chen got older, many crazy fans also climbed the wall one by one, and the younger fan returned to the country, and the taunts from the entertainment circle and the fans of the opponent did not have strong fans to defend him up.

After experiencing the fiasco of "Fu Yao", Luo Chen wanted to regroup and rejected all the scripts. Instead, he contacted DreamWorks and got a role in "Black Mirror II".

Because after experiencing "Fatal Identity", Luo Chen used his unforgettable experience to come to a conclusion that works with high word-of-mouth are the panacea to help actors get out of the low tide, because word-of-mouth can be exchanged for favorability.

At this time, any protagonists, supporting roles, etc. can be put behind the mind.

But the people who eat melons and fans may not understand it. The works of DreamWorks are indeed recognized as good cakes, but it also depends on the "good family". Luo Chen, a super star, will act in a certain episode of a mini-series In the eyes of many people, this is not because Luo Chen wants to perform well, but because he is a bit out of date?
The film and television company was surprised by the fiasco of "Fu Yao"?Luochen can't get a big-budget movie script?

In this trough, the negative news of "playing big names" also emerged as the times require.

But this is not groundless, Luo Chen did not get along with the director of "Kyushu Sky City", and did have some quarrel conflicts.

Although it is still not certain whether it is "Sky City of Kyushu" that is about to be broadcast, so the director and Luo Chen's old grievances are used to hype it up, or it is Luo Chen's fans or Heizi's slander.

But all in all, it was Luo Chen's "low-key" that really made things worse, and his "silence" after the Spring Festival holiday in the eyes of many people did become the feeling that "Luo Chen is going downhill".

Originally holding the idea of ​​waiting for the filming of "Black Mirror II" to find out if there is a good script, Luo Chen was completely unprepared to welcome the surprise gift package suddenly thrown by Chen Jingxing.

He hasn't appeared in Chen Jingxing's movies since "Signal", but it doesn't mean that he doesn't envy Chen Jingxing's movies.

"Source Code", "Gravity" and "Matrix", each has a higher box office than the other, and each has greater influence than the other. After each movie is released, he will feel YY in his heart after watching it. What a great performance, if I acted myself, I would definitely perform even better.

What Luo Chen envied most was "Matrix". A rookie can act such a good script, it's still a trilogy!
He can't even watch any news about Lu Hongzhe, every time he sees news about Lu Hongzhe, endorsements, fashion magazines, and going to the Oscars, he can't help but look red.

Reluctantly, like other actors Chen Jingxing had worked with, he knew Chen Jingxing's character very well. No one dared to ask him for a role directly, but was afraid of being disgusted by Chen Jingxing.

Moreover, Chen Jingxing was quick to decide on the role. DreamWorks had always kept his projects highly confidential. When the project was announced, the roles would usually be decided accordingly.

Therefore, I can only interact with each other on WeChat, phone, and Weibo from time to time, or visit DreamWorks, go to the studio to check on work, etc., to get a sense of presence.

Today, the dream suddenly came true, and the years of waiting had the result. All his anxiety and accumulated jealousy towards Hu Ge, Lei Jiayin, and Lv Hongzhe turned into fireworks and exploded at once, and his mind was transparent and refreshing for a while.

Luo Chen, who was in a good mood, couldn't help being a little nervous: "How is it? Sister Yang, did you listen to me? Don't listen to what Director Chen said every day about choosing actors according to their roles, but in fact he is very nostalgic.

Otherwise, how did Yan Xiaoyue rise again?How did Sister Wu Yue go from a supporting role in "Source Code" to the heroine of "Gravity"?

What about Lei Datou... forget about him.

As long as there is a suitable role, he must first consider the old people who have worked with him. "

"Yes, you have foresight, you are powerful, you are amazing, you know Director Chen best." Manager Yang Xiaohui also coaxed Luo Chen with a smile on her face.

When Luo Chen took the supporting role in an episode of "Black Mirror II", Yang Xiaohui also objected, but when Luo Chen told her, he had already agreed to DreamWorks, and he couldn't go back on his word, otherwise, DreamWorks would be offended. Well, Yang Xiaohui, as Luo Chen's manager, is not an uninformed third-tier artist like Ye Shunan and Li Hanjun.

"Look how happy you are. It's the same as seeing the light of day with the concubine of the cold palace and Mu Enze again."

Luo Chen was at a loss for words in the face of the manager's banter, but he quickly adjusted his weird thoughts back: "Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and the same is true for actors, and good directors are like emperors...that's Bole.

Hmph, besides, according to the order of precedence, I am the queen of the palace, Lei Jiayin and Hu Ge are all behind me, and Yan Xiaoyue is the one who made Lenggong see the light of day..."

……

He Yinglin was in the dormitory, scrolling through the webpage boredly, waiting for the start of Dreamworks' new drama "The Walking Dead" that made her extremely curious, when suddenly she yelled, which attracted the attention of her roommates.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? "The Walking Dead" is online earlier?"

"Haha, my family, Luo Chen, is back in the middle palace!"

He Yinglin is not only a fan of DreamWorks, but also a long-time fan of Luo Chen. She has liked Luo Chen who was still in Korea since junior high school. After so many years, her love for old idols has grown deeper and deeper. Luo Chen has changed from a girl's sexual fantasy to an old friend who grew up with her.

He Yinglin proudly glanced at the roommate who came over - a fan of Lu Han who kept saying that Luo Chen's box office was Waterloo and would be abandoned by the capital.

"Oscar best director Chen Jingxing's new film leaked key information. It is said to be a sci-fi movie related to dreams. The specific name is still unknown, but the suspected casting list has been released.

Luo Chen, who has worked with director Chen Jingxing in two films, will once again cooperate with director Chen to play the leading role. In addition, Chen Kun is also said to be starring in Chen Jingxing's new film. The list also includes Zhou Dongyu, Qin Lan, Pan Yueming, Zhang Ruoyun and many other well-known actors.

However, this news has not been confirmed by Director Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks officially..."
