Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 760 Hearing Words (6000 words, 200 monthly tickets plus updates)

Early the next morning, Chen Hao opened his eyes, reached out and touched Kate Beckinsale beside him.

Thinking of the madness last night, Chen Hao couldn't help but suppress the beauty again.

Kate was woken up by Chen Hao's movements, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Hao's handsome face getting bigger and bigger, her red lips were blocked before she could make a sound, and a morning exercise quietly started.

An hour and a half later, the refreshed Chen Hao and the glamorous Kate Beckinsale joined Liu Ye to attend the launch conference of "Edge of Tomorrow".

"Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for taking the time to attend the press conference of the sci-fi action film "Edge of Tomorrow" co-invested by Huaying, Haotian Films, Pauli Bernard and Guangxian...

Well, the rest of the time will be left to you, if you want to know anything, just ask! " Chen Hao laughed.

"Director Chen, I heard that "Edge of Tomorrow" is a sci-fi film about mechas. Is it a huge mecha similar to "Pacific Rim"?"

"Edge of Tomorrow is indeed a mecha science fiction film, but it is different from the huge mecha in "Pacific Rim", which is tens of meters high, but only a mecha exoskeleton slightly taller than a person." Chen Hao said.

"Director Chen, I heard that the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" is as high as 2 million yuan?"

"To be precise, the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" is 3 million yuan." Chen Hao said.

The actual funds used for filming are 2 million RMB, but if the publicity is included, it will cost at least 5000 million. The cost of 2.5 million is blown to 3 million. Chen Hao is already very modest.

Chen Hao said it lightly, but the reporters couldn't help but sigh, 3 million is a huge investment.

Even "Red Cliff", which claims to be the largest investment in Asia, was split into two parts, so the investment for one "Red Cliff" alone is less than 2 million.

The previous "King of Kung Fu" cost 3 million because of the high remuneration of the two Kung Fu superstars.

There is also Chen Hao's last movie "2012", the investment plus publicity has also reached the 3 million level.

Among the blockbusters released this year, the cost of the all-star cast "October Besieged City" was 1.5 million, "Nanjing" was 8000 million, and the star-studded "Founding of the People's Republic of China" was only 3000 million (all stars starred in zero pay).

And Guoshi's "Three Shots Surprise" claims to be 8000 million, but the audience who watched it can feel that this is too much!

Therefore, Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" must be the highest investment among Chinese films this year.

"Director Chen, this year's National Teacher's new film will be released in the New Year's Eve file, and Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" will also be released soon. Are you still sure to continue to win the annual championship and achieve three consecutive championships?"

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this, "This is Guoshi's comeback work after three years. It is undoubtedly a strong competitor, but I am also very confident in my new film."

"Director Chen, you didn't say whether you are sure to beat Guoshi's new film at the box office!"

"Hehe, what I say doesn't count, what the audience says counts." Chen Hao played Tai Chi.

"What about Lu Chuan's new film "Nanjing Nanjing"?"

Chen Hao laughed and said, "Hehe..."

The reporters in the audience couldn't help laughing when they saw this. This is how much they look down on Lu Chuan, but I like it.

Although the battle between Chen Hao and Lu Chuan for the new generation of directors has long been decided, the media is always keen on hype.

"Director Chen, let's predict the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

Chen Hao paused when he heard the words, "The so-called sesame is blooming steadily, and it must improve every year."

"What Director Chen means is that "Edge of Tomorrow" can break the box office record of "2012" in mainland movie history?"

Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "Not only that, I think "Edge of Tomorrow" should be able to bring the box office record of mainland film history to the 4 million era!"

The reporters made a noise in an instant, they were so confident, conceited, and crazy!
That's 4 million yuan at the box office!
But after thinking about it, with Chen Hao's box office appeal, the rapid increase in the number of screens in the Mainland over the past year, and the increase in ticket prices, the box office of "2012" has already reached 3.71 million!
It seems that it is also very possible!
"Hi Kate, how do you feel about working with Director Chen for the first time?"

"Wow, Chen is so amazing, he's so good, you can't help but scream!" Kate Beckinsale looked at Chen Hao and smiled.

"Liu Ye, how did you become the hero of "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

……

"Chen Hao's new film "Edge of Tomorrow" is still a sci-fi giant!"--Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Chen Hao's new film has a total investment of 3 million RMB, creating the highest investment in domestic films this year, and another super sci-fi blockbuster is coming!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Chen Hao ignores Lu Chuan, boasting that "Edge of Tomorrow" will set a new box office record in mainland film history!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

The launch conference of Chen Hao's new film has attracted intense media attention.

After all, Chen Hao just climbed the mountain of "Titanic" last year, breaking the box office record in mainland film history!
Just crowned the box office king in the mainland, his new film will naturally attract much attention.

Not to mention, the investment in "Edge of Tomorrow" is as high as 3 million yuan, which will attract strong attention whoever is the director.

In addition to the media, the Internet is also full of discussions about Chen Hao and "Edge of Tomorrow".

Qinglian Earth: Finally, we have to wait for Chen Hao's new film again, and it's a science fiction film again, with a familiar formula and a familiar taste!
People on the Lonely Sandbar: "Edge of Tomorrow", the most anticipated movie this year, bar none!

Du Tianzi: Ah, it's finally here. The last time I watched Chen Hao's movie was half a year ago. I'm so looking forward to it!

Gao Lengruo pulls the big devil: It is different from the mecha in "Pacific Rim", I really want to see it sooner!

……

In addition, major companies in the industry also paid great attention to Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow".

Especially Hua Yi and the old picture!
For Zhang Weiping, Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" will be the biggest competitor for whether "Three Guns Surprise" can win the annual championship, and of course "Founding of the People's Republic of China".

After all, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a real all-star lineup, even the extras are all stars. If there is a salary for the film, it is estimated that the film salary will be as high as 4 million yuan!

And as a gift film, there will definitely be a charter at that time, so as long as "Founding of the People's Republic of China" is not too bad, it is a sure thing to get a high box office.

It's just that Han Sanpin and Huang Jianxing's abilities as directors are questionable.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Weiping believes that "Edge of Tomorrow" is his biggest competitor.

As the comeback work of the national teacher after three years, although the investment of "Three Guns Surprise" is not high, it is said to be 8000 million.

But even Zhang Weiping himself was embarrassed to say that all the 8000 million yuan was used for filming, adding that it cost a lot to buy copyright.

However, Zhang Weiping believes in the box office appeal of the national division, especially after the Olympics, the prestige of the national division has reached its peak, so even if the investment in "Three Guns Surprise" is small.

But there is no pressure at all to get a high box office with the appeal of the national teacher.

It's just that it's not sure whether it can kill "Edge of Tomorrow" with an investment of up to 3 million.

……

As for Huayi, apart from not wanting to see its old rival hit the box office again, win the box office champion of the year, and even break the box office record in mainland film history again.

Huayi also felt a bit miscalculated that there were no blockbuster films released this year.

Because they also got inside information that Pengcheng's Growth Enterprise Market will be officially listed at the end of this year, which means that both Huayi and Haotian may be listed this year.

And if Chen Hao's "Edge of Tomorrow" sells well at the box office, it will undoubtedly be a powerful booster for the stock price of Haotian Films.

At that time, Huayi and Haotian Films will be listed at the same time, but the difference in share price is too large, and Huayi's face will be ugly.

It's just that Feng Dapao just finished filming "If You Are the One" last year, and he is not a fast shooter like Chen Hao. His next movie will have to wait until next year at the earliest, obviously it is too late!
As for "You Long Xi Feng", "Rabe's Diary", "Chasing Shadows" and "Love in the City", which Hua Yi invested in and produced this year, it may be difficult to make a big difference at the box office.

……

After reading the report, Lu Chuan was furious and wanted to hit someone, but Chen Hao ignored him again, thinking that "Nanjing Nanjing" was not worth mentioning.

For Lu Chuan, who has devoted countless efforts to create this World War II historical movie, this is simply a stab in the heart.

Not only that, but now Lu Chuan has been chasing Qin Lan. Everything was going well, but suddenly Qin Lan clearly rejected him.

Lu Chuan couldn't think of Qi Jie, but later found out through Xiong Naijin that there seemed to be a shadow of Chen Hao in it.

The hatred of taking his wife almost caused Lu Chuan to be separated.

Now, Lu Chuan really wanted to kill Chen Hao and then quickly, it would be best if he could replace him!
……

There were various reactions from the outside world, but Chen Hao had no intention of responding.

After the opening press conference, Chen Hao rushed to the crew, took everyone to burn incense and worship Buddha, and shared pig's head and fruit.

After a set of procedures was completed, Chen Hao lifted the red cloth on the camera, held the penis speculum and shouted, ""Edge of Tomorrow" is officially launched!"

Then the various departments of the entire crew immediately acted in an orderly manner to do all the preparations before shooting.

The first scene Chen Hao chose to shoot was the scene where Liu Ye was thrown into the barracks as a deserter.

At this time, the airport barracks where the crew was located was built bit by bit according to the opinions of military expert consultants.

A military base with a total area of ​​more than 10 square meters, three runways, dozens of fighter jets, transport planes, armed helicopters, and a large number of armored vehicles and tanks.

But most of them are empty shells, and only a few are real, used to shoot a panoramic scene overlooking the sky.

Experts were invited to plan the layout of this military base, try to be as reasonable as possible, otherwise it will look messy.

In fact, if you want to save money, you can scale down and build a model.

But since it was shot, it should be bigger. This full shot of the bird's-eye view needs to go through the entire base from beginning to end.

It cost a lot of money just to get these planes, tanks and military crowd performances.

This is only after Chen Hao has cooperated with the army many times before he rented these weapons and equipment. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, you have money and have no place to spend it.

"All departments are ready, and the filming will start immediately!" Lu Yang shouted with a loudspeaker, "Confirm again!"

"The lights are ready!"

"Recording is fine!"

"The actors are in place!"

……

After seeing Lu Yang's OK gesture, Chen Hao sat in front of the monitor and shouted, "Let's start!"

"The first shot of scene 8 of "Edge of Tomorrow" is the first time, bang!"

In the camera, Liu Ye was lying on his side on a pile of camouflage backpacks with his eyes closed, his hands were handcuffed, and there were soldiers training all around him, with the sound of horns and footsteps.

Liu Ye opened his eyes, and struggled to stand up in confusion.

"Crack!" Chen Hao shouted, "Liu Ye, don't open your eyes wide all at once, but squint to look left and right first, and then open them again."

It was obvious that Liu Ye hadn't fully entered the state just after the machine was turned on, and his performance was somewhat flawed.

In addition, the cooperation between the crew is also a little rusty.

"Okay, director, I understand!" Liu Ye nodded immediately.

"Also, don't make the No. [-] machine too close, but pull it a little farther away." Chen Hao said.

"Got it, Director!"

"Let's do it again!" Chen Hao shouted.

"Edge of Tomorrow's 8th Scene 2st Shot [-]nd time, bang!"

Liu Ye, who was lying in the camouflage backpack, lowered his head as soon as he opened his eyes to avoid the glare of the sun, then squinted his eyes to observe, and then struggled to stand up.

Then, the camera slowly looked around from his point of view.

The camera turned half a circle, and most of the surrounding scenes were seen at a glance, and finally focused on Liu Ye again.

The first shot was very simple, and it was not a problem for Liu Ye. After a little adjustment, the second shot was over.

In the second shot that follows, a bus carrying soldiers enters the base from the road.

The body is a huge figure, wearing a special exoskeleton mecha, with a heroic face, and a huge chopping knife on his shoulders.

It was the heroine, Zhao Li, known as the full metal warrior.

"Edge of Tomorrow, Scene 10, Shot 2, Shot 1, pop!"

Chen Hao stared at the monitor intently. On the first day, he deliberately chose a simple scene, just to let the filming have a good start, from easy to difficult, so that the crew can get used to it gradually and gradually form a tacit understanding.

Seeing Liu Ye looking around blankly in the camera, the platoon leader played by Ding Haifeng kicked his ass directly.

"Private, stand at attention!"

It wasn't a real kick, but Liu Ye was caught off guard and took two staggering steps forward, turned his head suddenly, and glanced down at Ding Haifeng's epaulets.

"Lieutenant, watch your attitude!"

Halfway through Liu Ye's words, Ding Haifeng stepped forward with staring eyes, forcing Liu Ye to take a few steps back.

"Watch your attitude, recruit! I'm your platoon leader!" Ding Haifeng said with a serious face.

"Crack!" Chen Hao yelled to stop again, and called Ding Haifeng and Liu Ye over.

"The two of you are standing face to face now, Liu Ye, you are a colonel, even if you are a civilian official, you are several ranks higher than Ding Haifeng's second lieutenant.

So when you say 'watch your attitude', the tone should be questioning, and there must be some confusion and panic, because you were sent here for no reason, and you were in handcuffs.

As for Ding Haifeng, you are a soldier who has been on the battlefield, and you already know that Liu Ye is a deserter pretending to be a colonel, so you have to show disgust and contempt for him, just like looking at a piece of garbage.

Although Liu Ye is a bit taller, you have to show that you are intimidated by Ding Haifeng's aura, while Ding Haifeng is just the opposite for you, do you understand? " Chen Hao said.

Ding Haifeng quickly nodded in response, "Director Chen, I understand."

"Understood, director!" Liu Ye also nodded quickly.

"Okay, then go ahead and do it again!" Chen Hao shouted.

Because the male protagonist in the film has the ability to cycle time and space, the same scene has to be shot many times, but each time there are different nuances in the same scene.

However, the airport barracks are all literary dramas, which are relatively simple.

Every time I wake up repeatedly, it is different, so Chen Hao can't be lazy and can only shoot repeatedly.

However, every time Liu Ye's emotions, demeanor, and reactions have to show certain changes, this is a test of his acting skills.

However, Liu Ye is worthy of being one of the best acting talents among the new generation of young students in the Mainland. His acting skills are not inferior to Chen Kun's at all, and he even has a wider range of acting skills than Chen Kun.

The same scene, the same characters, Liu Ye interpreted the slight differences every time, so two scenes have been filmed in one morning.

Looking at the time, it was already past 12 o'clock, so Chen Hao asked Hao Yi to put dinner quickly.

Chen Hao took the lunch box that Xiaoying handed over, ate a lot, quickly ended the battle, and then rushed to the shooting scene of another group.

In group B, the assistant director Lu Yang led the filming. Lu Yang, who has been with Chen Hao for several crews, has shown good director potential. Chen Hao also intends to cultivate and entrust him with some less important scenes.

After all, it is impossible for a large company to survive on only one director, and training new directors is something that the company and the entire industry desperately hope for.

Just like now the media and the industry have been looking forward to the birth of the 6th mainland director with [-] million yuan!

And successful new directors are also a powerful boost to the growth of a company, just like Guangliang in his previous life, relying on a group of new directors such as Deng Chao, Zhao Yanzi, Xu Shanzheng, and so on, he has made a lot of money.

The stock price continued to rise, and finally even killed Huayi, becoming the top entertainment company.

The scene that Lu Yang was filming was when Liu Ye was fined to do push-ups after repeating it many times. Taking advantage of a truck coming by the side of the road, he turned over and rolled to the other side of the truck, and sneaked to Kate Beijin under the cover of the truck. Purcell's training base.

Of course, he didn't sneak away successfully once. He was directly run over by a truck the first time, and then he escaped after being revived several times in a row.

But this scene has nothing to do with Liu Ye. He made up for that scene later, and first filmed the scene of their row doing push-ups.

The platoon leader found out that he was gone, and no one knew where Liu Ye had gone, so the entire platoon was fined [-] push-ups.

The one or two seconds of Ding Haifeng's shots were also added later, only the scene of them doing push-ups.

Except for Hu Ge and the others, the other group performers tried their best to find some physically strong people, many of whom were soldiers of the army.

When Chen Hao came over, they were still doing push-ups, but they seemed to have no strength left.

"Let you have a full breakfast in the morning, you will have no energy now." Chen Hao said with a smile, "Let's all eat, take a good rest at noon, and continue in the afternoon."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Ge almost fell to the ground, and stood up with force.

In fact, it is not impossible to cut a shot of one or two seconds, but Chen Hao still wants a coherent long shot, the effect is better.

The shooting continued in the afternoon, and the shooting in the morning was repeated, and two more scenes passed.

I haven't finished shooting for one day, and I will shoot another one tomorrow.

There was no rest at night, and the indoor night play began.

First, there is an arsenal in the base, which is responsible for manufacturing some simple parts and repairing the exoskeleton armor.

Then Liu Ye was brought to his class, and the same scene was repeated several times.

Help them hide the playing cards in advance, say what they want to say before others speak, point out which pocket the platoon leader's key is in, etc., just want to show that you have the ability to cycle time and space.

Unfortunately, no one believed him.

After half a month of filming, it was finally time for the hero and heroine to play against each other.

"Edge of Tomorrow, Scene 31, 1st Shot 1 time, pop!"

In a dedicated training ground the size of a basketball court, several mechanically controlled metal robots flew around the field, while Kate Beckinsale on the field remained motionless in a push-up position.

For Kate, who just finished filming "Underworld 2", it seems that there is no difficulty.

The camera gave a close-up of Kate Beckinsale, her entire body was parallel to the ground, and her tactical vest exposed two bronze-colored arms, tight and strong.

Although Kate Beckinsale is not that plump figure, her body is tight and her hips show a very attractive curve.

Facing the unexpected guest Liu Ye, Kate Beckinsale stood up and questioned.

After Liu Ye explained his purpose, Kate Beckinsale was surprised, and immediately took him away to find a doctor in the base.

For several nights in a row, I was filming the scene of this training ground.

Kate Beckinsale used his equipment to help Liu Ye train, but Liu Ye was seriously injured by the robot every time, and finally Kate Beckinsale made up a shot and sent him to do it all over again.

The most important thing about the exoskeleton is the adaptability and responsiveness of the exoskeleton.

The training items are only dodging and using firepower on the arms and shoulders.

Because Liu Ye couldn't get a blood transfusion, otherwise the ability to reset time would be lost, so it was necessary to ensure that he was killed when he was injured.

Even if he knows that he can start over, no one wants to be killed by the same person dozens of times in a row. Every time Liu Ye has to show that he doesn't want to die and that I can still save him.

"How am I?" Liu Ye asked nervously.

"Your leg is broken." Kate Beckinsale drew out a pistol and pointed it at Liu Ye's head.

"Don't, don't, I still have the feeling, I feel that I can still save it." Liu Ye said quickly.

However, what greeted him was a "bang" shot.

Liu Ye hung up again.

"Crack! Let's do it again, just now when Liu Ye said don't say anything else, Kate, you paused a bit, although it may be because of the language barrier.

But Kate, you have experienced dozens of wars, large and small, and you should shoot and kill him without hesitation, no matter what he says, you should not have the slightest hesitation. "

Kate Beckinsale smiled, "Okay, director."

"Okay, go ahead, make up for that shot just now, Liu Ye, you can lie on the ground and wait to die." Chen Hao laughed.

Liu Ye pressed his injured leg with one hand, and dragged his body forward with difficulty with the other hand, trying to avoid Kate's death shot.

"Don't, don't, I still have the feeling, I feel that I can rescue it again." Liu Ye said pitifully.

"boom……"
