"DreamWorks has continued to make big moves after dominating the big and small screens in May.

Will it be another "Edge of Tomorrow"? Why did DreamWorks start to be so interested in the theme of aliens? Interested? A sentence in Chen Jingxing’s interview leaked the secret, let the editor take you to find out..."

Since May, DreamWorks has never disappeared from the entertainment sector. First, "Edge of Tomorrow" brought the audience Huaguo's first strange sci-fi movie to fight aliens, and then "The Walking Dead" made people shout and thrill. Created an amazing world view of the zombie apocalypse.

At the same time, Chen Jingxing's new film "Inception" and its casting also caused waves among various fan groups.

Luo Chen, who had worked with Chen Jingxing twice, became the leading actor in his movie again. This also greatly excited Luo Chen's fan base. "How did the pot fall to the bottom.

Then the casting of actors one after another surprised the people who eat melons.

This year, it is recognized that the film with the most luxurious cast is the summer film "The Founding of an Army". As the last part of the great cause trilogy, although it can't compare with the first two in terms of layout, it also gathers many well-known young actors. .

"Inception" seems to have a lineup comparable to it, which surprised many netizens, including fans of Chen Jingxing.

After all, there is no shortage of stars in Chen Jingxing's movies, but they rarely accumulate stars. Generally, the leading actors are well-known, and the supporting roles use cheap actors.

The movie "Matrix" is even more confusing.

In fact, when "Inception" was established in DreamWorks, Xu Wenshen suggested to see if a large number of stars could be used to star in it, because "Inception" is a group portrait movie in his opinion. Although there is a leading actor, there are other supporting roles And the portions are huge.

If such a group portrait movie can invite well-known stars to star in it, coupled with its own brain-burning plot, it will produce a very good chemical reaction, and it will also be conducive to commercial operations at that time.

With the new best director at the Oscars and a star-studded cast, this will be the most important film since the establishment of DreamWorks.

In fact, Xu Wenshen had such an idea during "The Martian", and in his opinion, "Inception" is more suitable than "Mars".

Especially after DreamWorks went public, Xu Wenshen had even more considerations. "Matrix" was because he had to sign a three-movie "Overlord" contract. He was afraid that big stars would not sign, so he chose small actors. In the future, he will try his best to Do less, since Chen Jingxing won the status of the Oscar statuette, he is not afraid that the stars will not come, and he has the capital to keep the price down, so why increase the difficulty of marketing?
Chen Jingxing also adopted Xu Wenshen's suggestion, and finally made a list of cast members.

Of course Luo Chen is the male lead, and it has already been decided first, while Zhang Ruoyun was selected as the male lead's right-hand man, and Qin Lan was selected as the male lead's wife who committed suicide.

Qin Lan has a kind of temperament that is both gentle and bright, which is the characteristic that Chen Jingxingjue is more suitable for the role.

Pan Yueming plays the overseas tycoon who threatens to hire the leading actor to dream of his competitors.

Pan Yueming played the role of the tycoon in "Suspect Tracker", the designer of the machine, and the feeling of the big guy behind the scenes is quite good.

Because the male protagonist's wife left a demon in his subconscious mind, he was unable to take on the task of dream builder, so Zhou Dongyu was chosen to play the math genius who was sought out by the male protagonist and also the female number one.

The object of the protagonist's dream, the second-generation successor of the founder of a modern enterprise group that has many industries in Europe and integrates diversified operations such as trade, real estate, electronic technology, and the tertiary industry—in "Inception" The prototype of this large group designed in the script is a certain tycoon surnamed Li in Hong Kong Island.

The heir to trillions of assets, the top rich second generation, the first thing that popped up in Chen Jingxing's mind was Chen Kun.

As one of the four major high school students in Huaguo, although he is 40 years old, Chen Kun is in good condition. He was in good condition in last year's "Hot Pot Heroes".

What made Chen Jingxing value the most was Chen Kun's temperament.

In the beauty, there is a melancholy, sensitive, and fragile aristocratic atmosphere.

This is the same as the well-educated boy in the script, who has a heart-to-heart with his father, grows up under the shadow of a strict and even harsh father, longs for his father’s approval, feels complicated about his father’s sudden death, and feels fear and anxiety about taking on the business empire. The top rich second generation who are unable to do what they want and are worried about disappointing their father's expectations are quite suitable.

When Chen Jingxing sent out the trick appointment, Pan Yueming, Zhang Ruoyun, Qin Lan and other actors responded positively immediately.

Pan Yueming has just collaborated with DreamWorks on "Suspect Tracker" and signed a contract for three seasons. It can be said that DreamWorks is the biggest push behind Pan Yueming's popularity again. Its marriage became more popular before it became silent.

To be able to return to the big screen, and it is still a heavyweight commercial blockbuster, of course he will not refuse.

Zhang Ruoyun is also similar to Pan Yueming. Although he became a popular niche due to the popularity of the phenomenal TV series "Signal", but the first is limited to his appearance, not many fans, and the traffic is not as good as returning to the country. He can only say that he is a national The speed is good, and the passers-by are more favorable.

But this also caused him to be under the attack of first-line male stars such as Luo Chen, Hu Ge, and Deng Chao, and he was basically unable to get high-quality movie scripts, so he stayed in the TV drama circle, even if he was a well-known producer in the industry. Dad can't help much in the competition for the first-line actor.

Whether it was due to the kindness of the original support or the breakthrough in future career, Zhang Ruoyun also readily accepted Chen Jingxing's invitation, not to mention Qin Lan, she was the youngest of the few actors Chen Jingxing invited. Naturally, there was no reason to refuse the movie female number two's play appointment.

Only Zhou Dongyu and Chen Kun hesitated for a long time.

It's not that the little yellow duck doesn't want to pick it up, but there is some conflict in the schedule.

Since Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Film Award last year, he has become the darling of the film crew, and the invitations to film and television dramas and variety shows have been relented.

She has already accepted the drama appointments of the youth love movie "Later Us" and the emotional urban drama "The King Behind the Scenes", and they are back to back, and there is no rest time from the fourth quarter of 17 to the beginning of 18.

The estimated shooting time of "Inception" is probably also in the fourth quarter of 17.

However, Zhou Dongyu may have courage, or maybe there is an expert in the team, and he did not hesitate to bear the high liquidated damages to turn down "Later" and "The King of Behind the Scenes" to take over the drama contract of "Inception".

There is a saying in Huaguo's entertainment industry: Male stars rely on box office, while female stars rely on awards.

It means that female stars are not as good as male stars in box office resistance.

After Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Horse Actress, she is one of the most beautiful little flowers among actresses—the current post-90s Xiaohua can compete with her and even overwhelm her with Yan Xiaoyue, the heroine of "Matrix"—the biggest shortcoming is the box office. .

The actual box office performance is what she desires most at this stage. Only the top-tier superstars have awards and box office. Even the box office is more important than awards.

The heroine of Chen Jingxing's movie - Zhou Dongyu's role is indeed more than the hero's wife in terms of roles - is undoubtedly the best choice to achieve box office performance.

On the contrary, Chen Kun was the one who hesitated the most. After all, he is one of the top four high school students. Letting him play a supporting role that is not even considered as the second male lead will be harmful to his personal status and future acting roles. of.

But the situation is stronger than people, and Chen Kun has indeed been unlucky for the past two years.

The first-line male stars in Huaguo are already highly competitive, and coupled with the butterfly of DreamWorks, the degree of introversion is beyond imagination.

There is competition between the four middle school students, as well as the competition of first-line actors such as Luo Chen, Hu Ge, Lei Jiayin, and the squeeze of top-notch actors such as Wu Tingxuan and Lu Han.

The male protagonists of important film and television drama scripts are all sorted out by these people. Even for an actor of Chen Kun's level, it is not easy to get a role he likes.

The hard-fought martial arts movie "Poetry Eyes Tired of the World" was put on hold because the film studio was suspected of financial fraud and embezzled tens of millions of funds.

It may be that Chen Jingxing's title of Oscar's best director is really useful. After Chen Jingxing personally called to persuade him, Chen Kun still agreed to act.

In this way, Luo Chen's starring role, Chen Kun's joining, and the news that Zhou Dongyu paid liquidated damages and turned down two films to participate in Chen Jingxing's new film surprised the melon eaters and the media so much.

The star-studded masterpiece also makes fans and movie fans more curious about the plot of "Inception".
