The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 412 Casting of "The Wandering Earth" and "Dreamworks Department"

Neat and uniform blocks, octagonal residences, surrounded by courtyards in the middle, coupled with horizontal and vertical streets, like a chessboard, creating a unique architectural spectacle.

This is the building in the expansion area of ​​Barcelona, ​​Spain's second largest city, taken by Chen Jingxing with a drone. It was posted on Weibo and attracted discussions among movie fans.

After all, Chen Jingxing doesn't post on Weibo very often, it's usually when the movie is starting or wrapping up, or in cooperation with DreamWorks' official account to post trailers, posters and the like.

The preparation and filming of "Inception" has been exposed to the sun from the beginning to the end. It is also known to many netizens that Chen Jingxing led the crew to Europe.

In addition to Chen Jingxing's movies that have always been the focus of media attention, the actors of "Inception" are also big names, and the itinerary cannot be hidden.

Of course, the star-studded nature of "Inception" itself is also the reason why it has become the focus of fans and netizens. Chen Jingxing suddenly gathered so many stars to make a movie. From the name, it seems to be related to dreams. There is topic discussion.

[Is this Barcelona?The building is so shocking, it’s like copying and pasting]

[The filming location of "Inception" is Barcelona?Then I am more curious about the content]

[Daily reminder, when will "Skyhawk Warrior" make a movie, I want to watch the first machine fight monsters!The [-]-meter-high mecha gets excited just thinking about it]

[I am not satisfied with "Special Mobile Team", isn't Mobile Team worth a movie? 】

[Let’s hurry up and complete the space trilogy, from near-Earth space to Mars, which planet should we go to next time?I hope it is Jupiter or Saturn, I am very interested in gas giant planets]

【Haha, maybe it will go directly to the black hole】

[Director Chen, when will "Matrix II" be released? 】

【Haha, you guys are going to piss off Director Chen. Director Chen posted a filming location for "Inception".

[Who made this guy dig a hole every day? It's "Matrix" and the space trilogy, and it's the live-action movie "Skyhawk Warrior". it doesn't matter movie]

[I'm also going to be angry with Director Chen, when will "Black Mirror II" be broadcast?Isn't it already finished shooting?The birth of a director makes me feel uneasy. Zhou Zhe is such a good director. You don’t need to choose a short film made by Wen Zhi’an who is inexplicable. Let’s see what works can be made]

[Upstairs will probably be disappointed. DreamWorks is already good at screenwriting and scripts. As long as the script is good, how bad can it be?To be selected by Director Chen is actually considered a victory, even if a dog is tied up, it won't make a bad movie]

[When will the second season of "Suspect Tracker" be broadcast?The flowers I have been waiting for are all gone. I have been arrested by the KB organization for more than a year. If I don’t save them, I will starve to death! 】

[Follow the trend, is there really no second season of "Signal"?Just an open ending?My trio, my Officer Lee!If you don't save Deng Chao, you will go farther and farther on the road of comedy. I beg Director Chen to separate him and Yu Baimei! 】

[Follow the formation, when will the second season of "The Walking Dead" be filmed?What happened to the last corpse that looked exactly like the male protagonist's? Are they really twins?Where did the virus come from?If you have the ability to whet people's appetite, if you have the ability to fill it up]

[What a spectacular comment, it can be seen how unpopular Chen Jingxing's evil deeds of digging holes everywhere and leaving them for a year or two after digging are unpopular, and he has committed countless crimes! 】

Chen Jingxing posted on Weibo excitedly, and then returned disappointed.

Originally, I wanted to stimulate the curiosity of movie fans and netizens about "Inception", but I was shocked to find that I was already outraged, and the fans' complaints were shocking. How do I feel that DreamWorks will be able to fill the work with just filming sequels in the future? What?

But this kind of trouble is not easy to complain publicly, for fear of being sacked by other company bosses.

Barcelona will be the first stop of the "Inception" crew's European tour.

The main purpose is to film the scene where the male protagonist played by Luo Chen in "Inception" finds the female lead played by Zhou Dongyu and trains her to become a dream builder.

The scene in the original version is in Paris, and Chen Jingxingjue’s Barcelona is also very suitable, especially the expansion area, densely packed but neatly arranged octagonal residences, and criss-crossing chessboard-like streets, which have both European architectural style and a unique style. surreal urban planning style.

The operation with the dream will also magnify this spectacle.

When Chen Jingxing brought the actors to shoot in Barcelona, ​​Tian Xinye also quietly returned to China with the crew of "The Ninth District". To be precise, the crew disbanded in South Africa on the spot and went back to their homes.

The cast of "The Ninth District" is not star-studded. There are only two Chinese actors. Wan Qian is the most star-studded. Although Zhang Yi has more experience and better acting skills, he is not that kind of star actor.

In addition, it wasn't Chen Jingxing's drama, but a co-production movie, so the media and netizens didn't pay much attention to it.

At this time, the more eye-catching news in Huaguo's entertainment industry is that Guo Fan has chosen actors for "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth" is a film project that can arouse people's interest just by hearing the name.

The wandering earth, how is the earth wandering?

Compared with Tian Xinye's low-key, Guo Fan's side is the first to win, and the popularity of science fiction fans and ordinary netizens even surpassed that of Chen Jingxing's "Inception".

Guo Fan has directed "The Mekong River" and "Edge of Tomorrow". "Operation Red Sea" will not be released until next year's Spring Festival. A Douban scored 8.5 points.

In addition, the two films are also members of the 20 billion club. Whether it is the industry, actors or fans, they all have confidence in Guo Fan. Even if "The Wandering Earth" is said to have an investment of up to 5 million, no one will think that Guo Fan can control it. no.

Who doesn't love this kind of good cake?
For a while, the vigorous casting attracted countless eyes.

Of course, the vigor and vigor are just the vigor and vigor on the Internet. Under the leadership of the media, marketing accounts and fans, they slipped all over the popular stars.

Guo Fan wasn't very dramatic here, and it didn't take him long to basically settle on the role.

The heroine was confirmed to be Zhao Jinmai in advance, and the fans were naturally elated and joyful. The other young actresses and their fans were jealous, but there was nothing they could do about it.

It was even rumored that when filming "The Walking Dead", Director Chen once visited the crew of "The Walking Dead", and then...

Of course, this kind of malicious speculation is more like a slanderous rumor fabricated by other fans of Xiaohua born in the 00s, especially since Zhao Jinmai is still a minor, and the people who eat melons dare not spread this kind of statement too much.

However, in the eyes of DreamWorks and insiders, Chen Jingxing is indeed Zhao Jinmai's bole. After all, in the storm of "The Walking Dead" changing roles, Director Chen personally decided on the male and female protagonists.

She is not much different from a girl like Yan Xiaoyue, and people in the circle can only sigh that this little girl is lucky.

Wu Jing, Bai Yu, and Dong Xiao, a young actor who was selected from the central drama in "Black Mirror II" and played the leading role in the last episode, were selected as the main male roles.

It can be said that the casting of the main roles is all acquaintances of DreamWorks. Bai Yu once played the leading role in "Mirage", Wu Jing even played the leading role in "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by Guo Fan, and "Wolf Wolf" produced by DreamWorks. "The Wandering Earth" is the second collaboration between him and Guo Fan.

Wu Jing is still preparing the script of "Spike III", because of the high reputation and high box office of "Spike II", the next script will naturally have to be polished, and he is also a person who cherishes feathers.

In other words, anyone who stays in DreamWorks for a long time will unconsciously become more fond of feathers.

The lower limit of a person is constantly being broken through, and there is a mentality called breaking the can and breaking the fall.

In fact, most people are set up by the expectations of others and the evaluations around them. No one lives in a vacuum, and no one is born to like to act in bad dramas or bad movies.

And when a person shoots the first bad drama and enjoys a "laughing and scolding, let him laugh and scold, and I will take the bad money", he will not take the audience's bad comments seriously, and just scold and scold. It doesn't seem so scary, I dare to do it next time.

And when you don't break through this barrier, you will still maintain a reserved posture as much as possible.

Of course, all of this is based on big-name actors and directors who have the right to choose. For actors and directors who don't have the right to choose, it's good to have a movie.

This is why Luo Chen would be sullen because of the reputation of "Journey to the West: The Demon", so he kept a low profile for a few months and cheekily begged for a supporting role in "Black Mirror II". I have made a movie with a lower rating than "Journey to the West".

From time to time, Lei Jiayin would jokingly complain to Chen Jingxing that there was no filming, and she couldn't pick a script that caught her eye.

After enjoying the delicacies of mountains and seas, he will become picky about the taste of other meals.

Wu Jing has experienced the industrial shooting process of "Edge of Tomorrow", and he has also integrated into the production team of DreamWorks. "Spike II" was finally formed under the fine polishing of the screenwriter team of DreamWorks. It has experienced overwhelming audience and public opinion. All these made him feel a stronger sense of responsibility for "Spike III".

It is also because "Spike III" is still early before the project is approved, so Wu Jing was able to spare time to shoot "The Wandering Earth". The cooperation between him and Guo Fan in "Tomorrow" is quite pleasant.

The casting of "The Wandering Earth" was quickly settled, making many actors in the industry a little unwilling and helpless. Although DreamWorks' work style and works are different from those of several major traditional studios, after several years, there is a vague A vague "dream circle" also surfaced.

Just like the "Beijing circle", "Jianghe system" and "Tianrun system", it seems that a "Dreamworks system" has also been formed.

Although the essence is very different, circles such as the "Beijing Circle" and "Jianghe Department" are often woven into a network of equity and artist brokerage relationships.

And DreamWorks does not have a brokerage business, so there is no need to customize works for its artists, or use resources to support its artists, which instead makes DreamWorks more powerful when facing artists, and can also be more flexible in selecting actors in the entire market. More capable and willing to discover new faces.

But apart from brokerage contracts and equity relationships, there are things like human affection in the world.

These actors who had worked with DreamWorks and made Chen Jingxing and other directors satisfied during the cooperation process were vaguely labeled as DreamWorks, and the probability of being "turned over" was even higher.

This may be the opportunity for the mysterious and mysterious in the entertainment circle, and it is no wonder that most people in the circle are a bit "feudal superstition".
