Chapter 1087 "Ghost Blowing Lantern" explodes

"Chen Hao is really a fast shooter. The production of "Charlotte Annoyance" has just been completed, and the new film will hold a press conference."

"Speaking of which, Chen Hao has been in the industry for almost 14 years. He is considered a senior in the industry, but he is only 34 years old now, and he is in a period of vigorous energy and creative ability. Two movies a year is not an exaggeration."

"In the past two years, there was one movie a year, and everyone was worried that after he became the richest man, he was going to gradually die."

"That's right, it's embarrassing to fight so hard when you're the richest man in the mainland. No wonder he can become the richest man."

"Excuse me, let's watch Chen Hao's new movie "Exquisite Ancient City". Do you know what kind of movie it is?"

"I can't guess it just by looking at the name!"

"I do know an online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". There is a plot in it called Jingjue Ancient City. I don't know if it is the same thing."

"Internet novels? Ghost blowing lights?"

"So this is a horror movie?"

"No, it's a tomb robbery novel!"

"Grave robbers?"

……

On June 2014, 6, Children's Day, Chen Hao held the launch conference of his new movie "The Ancient City", and Haotian Building once again gathered more than 1 media reporters.

When Chen Hao came out with Chen Kun, Tianxian, and Zhao Da, the scene was instantly filled with the sound of flashing lights.

After the four of Chen Hao were seated, they gave the media 2 minutes to take pictures.

"After half a year, we met again. Welcome everyone to attend the launch conference of my new film "The Ancient City." Chen Hao said.

After a few simple and polite words, it was time for the media to ask questions.

"Director Chen, can you introduce your new film "The Ancient City" to us?"

After hearing this, Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "Actually, the original title of the film was "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Ancient City of Essence", but for some reason it was changed to "The Ancient City of Essence."

Everyone nodded in understanding as soon as they heard it, obviously they all knew why.

""Exquisite Ancient City" is adapted from the first storyline of the online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is a tomb robbery movie. Of course, I prefer to call it an adventure movie, similar to the American "Indiana Jones".

But "Exquisite Ancient City" shows our China's splendid civilization and countless treasures, and of course there are thrilling adventures. This is an underground world that we don't know about!

The total investment of "Exquisite Ancient City" is 3 million RMB. This is the actor Chen Kun who plays Hu Bayi, the heroine Shirley Yang who plays Tianxian, and the male lead Wang Kaixuan who plays Zhao Da.

In addition, as a digression, we plan to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a series of movies. The novel has eight relatively independent stories. We expect to invest 40 billion to shoot eight "Ghost Blowing Lantern" movies.

In addition to the movie, Haotian Film and Television will also start shooting the TV series "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at the same time, which will also be divided into eight seasons. "Chen Hao said.

The media reporters present were slightly surprised when they heard the words. They invested 40 billion to make 8 movies, and there are also TV series to follow up simultaneously. It seems that Haotian is preparing to vigorously develop the IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Just like the super IP "Zhu Xian" launched by Haotian omni-channel before.

"Director Chen, will you continue directing the "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" series?"

Chen Hao heard the words, "It's not sure yet, everything depends on chance."

"Director Chen, can you predict the box office of "Exquisite Ancient City"?"

After hearing this, Chen Hao looked at the eager and expectant reporters under the stage, smiled and said, "15 billion!"

boom!
All the reporters in the audience immediately recorded the 15 billion with excited expressions. This is big news!

You know, the current box office record in mainland film history is only 13.6 billion yuan, which is Chen Hao's own "Inception".

Chen Hao now says that the box office of "Exquisite Ancient City" can reach 15 billion, which means that he will once again break the box office record in film history in order to realize his current rhetoric.

The reporters looked at Chen Hao as if they were looking at RMB. If they said a few more words with this mouth, they could get a big bonus!

Chen Hao watched the excited faces of the reporters in the audience, but just smiled.

Now say 15 billion, you are so surprised, wait for 2015 next year, you will not be so shocked.

In fact, Chen Hao has already given a conservative box office estimate.

"Okay, don't neglect my leading actors." Seeing that the reporters wanted to ask him a question, Chen Hao directly blocked their mouths.

The reporters had no choice but to turn their guns and aimed at the three leading actors.

"Chen Kun, how did you come into contact with this character?"

"Director Chen contacted me, and I agreed without even thinking about it. After all, this is Director Chen!" Chen Kun laughed.

The reporters also nodded with a smile. Everyone knows Chen Hao's habit of finding actors, that is, to find the main character directly.

Chen Hao seldom auditioned, and he basically found out who was right. This is already a good story in the industry.

Of course, the main reason is that Chen Hao invested in the movies himself, so he didn't need to look at the face of the management, and he didn't have to worry about being blocked.

"Tianxian, how does it feel to cooperate with Director Chen for the first time?"

"Very excited, very happy!" Tianxian glanced at Chen Hao and said with a smile, "I was so happy that I couldn't believe it. I didn't believe it was a fact until I asked again and got an affirmative answer."

"Well, answer Zhao, how did you get involved in this movie?"

Zhao Da was a little nervous when he heard this, and said with a long breath, "I got this opportunity through an audition, and the person who auditioned with me became the TV version of me.

Being able to participate in Director Chen's play made me excited for a whole week. Of course, I also made sufficient preparations. In one month, I gained a full 40 catties. "

The media couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the words. It is not easy to gain 40 catties in a month.

Chen Hao is also very satisfied with this, he is a good actor who can sacrifice for the role, at least his professional attitude is beyond reproach.

……

The news that Chen Hao's new film "The Ancient City" was launched quickly spread all over the country and the entire Internet under the media's reports.

While everyone was amazed at the speed of Chen Hao's filming, they also had a strong interest in the online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" involved in "Exquisite Ancient City".

Just like Chen Hao's stage play "Charlotte Annoyance" that led to happy twists took place for half a year, the online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" also became popular in an instant.

"Ghost Blowing Lantern", "Exquisite Ancient City", and "Tomb Raider" directly appeared in the top five of Weibo hot searches and thousand-degree search lists!

……

When the outside world was full of excitement due to media reports, Chen Hao had already brought the three leading actors to Huairou Film and Television Base.

Because the black-mongolian border and the frontier filming location still need 2 days to be officially completed, so Chen Hao put the first shooting location in the film and television base of the imperial capital.

"Director Chen!" Seeing Chen Hao get off the car, Wen Muye immediately walked over.

Chen Hao nodded, and then went straight to the incense table. Wen Muye had been with Chen Hao for a long time, and things were handled smoothly. Chen Hao felt relieved, knowing that he could directly burn incense and worship God, and the filming started.

At this time, there were quite a few spectators outside the crew of "Exquisite Ancient City". After knowing that this was the crew of Chen Hao's new film, there were quite a few people who wanted to have a look.

There are also quite a few people who have other ideas and want to sneak into the crew.

Chen Hao didn't pay attention to these, and led a group of masters, burned incense, worshiped gods, and shared fruits and pig's heads.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Chen Hao came to the camera covered with a red cloth, grabbed the red cloth and lifted it with force, and said with a loudspeaker, "I announce that "The Ancient City of Essence" is officially launched!"

After a burst of warm applause, the entire crew began to operate in an orderly manner. They are all old partners who have cooperated for many years, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly.

Chen Hao walked directly to the monitor and sat down, while Wen Muye was talking to Chen Kun and Zhao Da.

The first scene Chen Hao chose to shoot was when Hu Bayi made a mistake and left the army. He got off the train and went to a restaurant for dinner just after returning to the imperial capital. Then he met his good brother Wang Kaixuan who hadn't seen him for many years.

Five minutes later, Wen Muye finished his lecture, and then picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "Everyone keep quiet, the filming will start soon! One last confirmation."

"Grandfather?"

"Ready!"

"photography?"

"no problem!"

"light?"

"OK!"

……

After confirming, Wen Muye gave Chen Hao an OK gesture, and Chen Hao nodded upon seeing this.

"Scene 25, Scene 1, Scene 1 of "Exquisite Ancient City" is the first time, bang!"

"Start!" Chen Hao shouted.

Hu Bayi was kicked out of the army because he made a mistake in the army. After returning to the imperial capital, he lingered in front of his house for a long time, not daring to enter the house.

Because he was afraid that his father would beat him to death with a whip.

It was getting dark, and Hu Bayi went to a restaurant to eat when he was hungry, but he was shocked when he saw the menu. He had been in the army all these years, so Hu Bayi had never eaten outside at all. When he saw the menu, he thought it was too expensive to die.

"A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, six yuan?" Hu Bayi looked at the menu and exclaimed.

"These are normal prices, and they are the same everywhere." The waiter smiled, "But if you come to our store, I recommend you to eat braised prawns, which is our restaurant's specialty."

"I'm not lecherous, what special dishes do you want?" Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "Give me a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, rice for two nights, by the way, and a bottle of beer, everything is ready!"

"Crack!" Chen Hao shouted while looking at the monitor.

Everyone stopped when they heard the words, and Chen Kun also looked at Chen Hao, obviously because he did not perform well.

Chen Hao said, "Kun'er, you have to be more glib when you speak. Although Hu Bayi has served in the army and fought in battles, he is ruthless, but he is also a student of the big courtyard.

Usually when you quarrel with Fatty Wang, you come and go, and you are very poor. You should show Hu Bayi more in your life. "

Speaking of it, all Hu Bayizhong, even the three most recognized actors in the previous life, Chen Kun, Pan Yueming and Jin Dong, seem to be not very good in terms of ruffian and ruthlessness.

Of course, maybe the producer deliberately wanted to get rid of this aspect of Hu Bayi's character, thinking that the protagonist shouldn't be like this, or maybe it was to avoid trouble.

But Chen Hao thinks it shouldn't be like this, a person should be multi-faceted, there may be people who are too singular, but very few.

He has both advantages and disadvantages, and he is a lively and down-to-earth person.

Speaking of this, it must be said that when the author of the novel wrote Hu Bayi, he wrote it according to Zhong Yuemin in "Blood Romance".

And Zhong Yuemin in "Blood Romance" is indeed ruthless and naughty enough. Thinking of Liu Ye's face, it really fits.

Compared with Liu Ye, Chen Kun is obviously too superior in appearance, and it does not fit the original character image very well, but after makeup, it is still much better.

And Chen Hao also believes that Chen Kun has the ability to show Hu Bayi in the original book.

"Okay, director!" Chen Kun raised his hand to signal, "Give me 5 minutes."

"Okay, continue in 5 minutes." Chen Hao said.

Soon, 5 minutes passed and the shooting continued.

"Scene 25, Scene 1, Scene 2 of "Exquisite Ancient City" is the first time, bang!"

This time, the corners of Chen Kun's mouth were a little careless, his eyes were a little wandering, and his tone and demeanor were a little exaggerated, and this kind of exaggeration was habitual, showing the kind of unscrupulousness of the children in the big courtyard.

At this time, another guest came in from the outside, wearing a large toad mirror imitated from the United States. It can be said that he was very fashionable in his attire, so Hu Bayi took a second look.

As a result, that person also saw Hu Bayi, sized him up for a long time, and then came over and sat across from Hu Bayi's table.

Hu Bayi's expression sank when he saw this, and he felt a little angry. After all, he had just been driven back from the army and he was holding his breath. Seeing this guy sitting directly opposite him, he seemed to be making trouble.

However, just as Hu Bayi was about to speak, he felt that the other person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he paused again.

At this moment, the person on the opposite side pushed the big toad mirror on the bridge of his nose and said, "The king of heaven covers the ground tiger."

Hu Bayi's heart moved when he heard the words, and he replied subconsciously: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon."

The other party asked again: "Why are you blushing?"

Hu Bayi naturally gave a thumbs up and replied, "I'm in a hurry if I can't find a wife."

"Then why is it white again?"

"I was scared by marrying a tigress."

Afterwards, the two hugged each other at the same time, and Hu Bayi smiled and said, "Pang, you didn't expect the Central Red Army to come back, did you?"

The fat man was so excited that he was about to cry: "Old Hu, our Red Army has finally joined forces in northern Shaanxi again."

"Okay, it's over!" Chen Hao shouted.
