From a professional villain to an all-around superstar

Chapter 255 Preparing for the filming of "The Wandering Earth"

Seeing that more and more people were taking the lead, people who had always disliked Ye Chen also appeared one after another and started to criticize him.

"I think what Director Feng said is right. In fact, I didn't think Ye Chen's first film was very good. I don't know why there are so many people talking about it."

"You must have bought the navy? Otherwise, there is capital support behind it."

"What are you guys doing, I watched that movie and it was very good, but I really don't like Ye Chen's sci-fi movie this time."

"It's obvious that things started to drift after a little success."

Feng Xiaogang's Weibo comment section was full of comments criticizing Ye Chen.

As soon as Ye Chen's fans entered the comment area, their lungs almost exploded when they saw those smoky comments.

Although I am angry when I look at these comments, it doesn't seem to make sense to reason with these trolls.

Ye Chen naturally saw these comments on the Internet.

In this era of big data, when he logged into the video website, he found that the news that he was about to shoot a new movie was already abuzz on the Internet.

Ye Chen also saw Feng Xiaogang's comment, but instead of leaving a message below, he also posted a Weibo post.

"Thank you to the fans who have always supported me, and thank you for your criticisms and opinions. However, I, Ye Chen, do not need others to tell me what to do."

Ye Chen is no longer the original Ye Chen.

He needn't hold back.

Regarding the doubts on the Internet, Ye Chen directly responded.

"Domineering."

"Too good."

"As expected of me, Brother Ye, what I said is right. You guys are too lenient. Do you think it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks about the movies that Brother Ye makes?"

Ye Chen's domineering response quickly became a hot search on Weibo.

Feng Xiaogang was furious after seeing these comments.

This kid is getting more and more arrogant, and he doesn't take this old senior in his eyes at all.

Taking this opportunity, Feng Xiaogang decided to recruit troops and use this incident to create public opinion and guide more keyboard warriors to black Yechen.

He directly opened several posts and started posting counterattacks against Ye Chen.

"I'm not saying that. Even though a young director like Ye Chen is a bit talented, he is really too arrogant."

"Director Feng gave him some advice as a senior, but he repaid kindness with hatred and didn't pay attention to the seniors in the circle at all."

"Ye Chen talks so wildly. Do you really think you are the leading actor of an online novel? It made me laugh to death."

"Look at all the seniors in the circle, Ye Chen, who you were so enthusiastic about before, has this kind of attitude towards seniors."

As the incident became more intense, directors in many circles were involved.

Some people spoke up for Feng Xiaogang, accusing Ye Chen of going too far.

But there are also people who choose to side with Ye Chen, but most of them are directors who have interacted with Ye Chen and some small directors.

For example, Director Chen stood on Ye Chen's side.

He even directly liked the Weibo post posted by Ye Chen.

Later, he also expressed his views on his Weibo.

"I think what Director Feng said is biased. Although I am a young director, I have been in the industry for some time. I feel that filmmakers must not only be down-to-earth, but also produce better works and let a hundred flowers bloom. Otherwise, nothing will happen. Chinese films always follow a step-by-step process and will stagnate. There are always people walking the road. There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, there will be a road."

"Ye Chen clearly knows that science fiction movies are difficult to make, but he still leads the way without hesitation. Although he may fail, this attitude should be encouraged rather than discouraged, right? So in this wave, I support Ye Chen."

Although there are director teams on both sides, more directors have indeed chosen a neutral attitude.

Although they wanted to support Ye Chen and knew that Ye Chen was very strong, Ye Chen once again chose a science fiction theme, which made them lose confidence in Ye Chen.

And even if they want to support, it’s not a casual thing.

Taking sides arbitrarily, no matter which side you take, will offend the other side.

Both Feng Xiaogang and Ye Chen have strong influence in the entertainment industry.

If they choose Ye Chen at this juncture, it would not be a slap in the face if Ye Chen's movie is really bad once it is made.

Therefore, although there are many people who support Ye Chen, most of them choose to support silently.

For example, the former leader of the sunspots, Chen Kai, has now been transformed by Ye Chen.

Although he also wanted to support Ye Chen this time, he also understood how difficult it was for science fiction films to enter the Dragon Kingdom film market.

So when he saw many people complaining about him and wanted him to share his views on this matter, he chose to remain silent.

As for the circle, other influential directors also had the same attitude and chose to remain silent on this matter.

But one exception is director Zhang Yimou.

Director Zhang Yimou has been busy with the Spring Festival Gala recently.

Today for the Spring Festival Gala, the director team invited Ye Chen.

After a busy day, I turned on my phone during my break, only to find that the Internet was already very noisy.

Zhang Yimou still likes Ye Chen very much as an actor.

So I quickly contacted Ye Chen.

"Xiaoye, are you planning to make a science fiction movie?"

Ye Chen happened to see the text message sent by Zhang Yimou, so he immediately recovered.

"Yes!"

Then Ye Chen's phone rang.

"Director Zhang, I heard that you are busy with the Spring Festival Gala. Give me a call if you still have time."

Ye Chen's tone was very relaxed.

This also made Zhang Mou, who was worried about Ye Chen, let out a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Ye Chen's violent comments on the Internet would affect him.

After spending some time with Ye Chen, he understood Ye Chen's character very well.

Ye Chen is a very independent person, so other people's opinions do not have much impact on Ye Chen.

It is precisely because of love that he is eager, so he is still very worried about Ye Chen getting involved in public opinion incidents.

"By the way, are you ready with your script? Can you show it to me?"

Ye Chen hesitated.

After all, the movie hasn't started filming yet, so if you give the script to someone else, it will be affected to some extent.

He was mainly worried that the script would leak out and be plagiarized.

However, Ye Chen still has great trust in director Zhang Yimou.

No matter in terms of character or strength, it is definitely a reliable task.

"You can just post a script outline, and I'll take a look at the general plot."

In order to dispel Ye Chen's plunder, Zhang Yimou also made his own request.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "I can't trust others, how can I not trust you, Director Zhang? I'll send it to you right now."

Then Ye Chen hung up the phone and sent the script he had written to Zhang Yimou.

More than 20 minutes later, Ye Chen received a call from Zhang Yimou again.

"Xiaoye, I have read the script and I support you. Both the plot and plot structure are much better than previous science fiction movies."

If there are no major problems with the shooting, there should be no problem.

Although Zhang Yimou has never filmed a science fiction movie, he still knows the situation of the domestic film market very well.

At the same time, he also understood that Ye Chen was undoubtedly taking a risk by filming a science fiction movie.

But after reading the script, Zhang Yimou found that in Ye Chen's play, the control of the plot and the shaping of the characters are very good.

Moreover, the plot is also very scientific and logical, and it is not as brainless as previous science fiction movies.

That's why he gave such a pertinent evaluation.

Ye Chen was already confident to win this movie, and after hearing Zhang Yimou's affirmation of this movie, his confidence became even stronger.

"Thank you, Director Zhang. Your words gave me great encouragement. I will definitely work hard to make this movie."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know much about science fiction movies, but I intuitively feel that the script of this movie is very well written."

"I have also seen what those people said on the Internet. I support you. As for other people's opinions, you don't have to care. It doesn't matter even if you fail. After all, you are still young. You will have to start over from scratch."

"Well, I think so too. I think that although science fiction movies are a minefield for Dragon Kingdom movies, someone must take this step instead of resting on their laurels."

The two chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Zhang Yimou later expressed his views on this matter on his Weibo.

"As a filmmaker, I think that movies must be constantly evolving. Ye Chen has the courage to make a new sci-fi work this time, which is very worthy of encouragement. He has done things that our older generation did not dare to do, but I really didn’t expect that as a pathfinder, he would receive not encouragement and support but slander, abuse and even personal attacks.”

"It can be said that it is precisely because of the lack of filmmakers like Ye Chen in our circle who dare to innovate, dare to fight, and dare to break new ground that our Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies have always become the laughing stock of others. What is even more ridiculous is that some of our filmmakers do not like others. , I don’t innovate myself, but also laugh at others, such behavior makes me feel sick.”

"I won't say too much. I just want to express my attitude. I support Ye Chen."

As soon as Zhang Yimou's Weibo post was published, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

Many people praised director Zhang Yimou and expressed their opinions in the comment area.

"I think Director Zhang is right in his arrangement. Our domestic science fiction movies are already very weak. If we don't want to make breakthroughs and just stay stuck in our ways, then our Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies and even our Dragon Kingdom movies as a whole will not be able to make progress."

"That's right, Feng Xiaogang doesn't innovate himself and is still setting the pace here. It's really disgusting."

"See, Director Zhang has come out to support Ye Chen, what else do you guys have to say?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that Ye Chen actually pulled Director Zhang out on the stage. I don't deny Director Zhang's status in the film and television industry, but Ye Chen's science fiction movies may not necessarily make Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies move forward. On the contrary, they will There could be one more laughing stock.”

"Damn it, what kind of logic are you talking about? Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies are already bad, so what if there is one more? How big an impact can it have on Dragon Kingdom? But if it succeeds, maybe it can help Dragon Kingdom. Sci-fi movies open a door."

"Yeah, Ye Chen's movie hasn't been made yet, how do you know it must be a bad movie?"

Everyone expressed their opinions on Director Zhang Mou’s Weibo post.

After Feng Xiaogang saw Zhang Yimou's speech, he also chose silence in accordance with his past dealing style.

After all, his status in the Dragon Kingdom film circle is something that no one can shake.

As for Feng Xiaogang, he would naturally not ask for trouble and challenge Zhang Yimou.

However, Feng Xiaogang never dreamed that Zhang Yimou would stand up and speak for Ye Chen.

After Zhang Yimou said these words, more people were looking forward to Ye Chen's response.

They all went to Ye Chen's Weibo to see Ye Chen's latest updates.

However, to their disappointment, Ye Chen's Weibo was also quiet.

Not only did Weibo not respond, even friends in the circle asked Ye Chen, but Ye Chen did not respond.

Ye Chen chose to deal with it coldly because he knew that quarreling online was useless.

All he has to do is to do his job well, make this movie and slap those black guys in the face.

Since these people couldn't remember being slapped in the face so many times, Ye Chen would continue to hit him until he was convinced.

Ye Chen went to send the script for review first.

The normal review time for scripts.

Most people will wait for the script to pass when they send it for review.

But Ye Chen did not wait, because he believed that his script would definitely pass the review.

Because the entire script promotes positive energy, and the mission creation is also very rich.

The review has no reason to refute such an excellent script.

Moreover, as the department in charge of Dragon Kingdom movies, they also hope that an excellent science fiction movie can appear in Dragon Kingdom.

It is for these reasons that Ye Chen believes that his script will never be too bad.

So after submitting the script for review, Ye Chen immediately recruited and formed a crew.

During this process, Yang Mi and Xiao Di followed their second uncle and stayed with them every step of the way.

The most important thing for science fiction movies is the special effects company, but Ye Chen doesn't have to worry about this.

Because he already has the best special effects production team in the world.

Now that the special effects for "Iron Man" have entered final production, the movie will soon be available.

After completing "Iron Man", it happens to be seamlessly connected with "The Wandering Earth".

The next step is to contact the venue.

Ye Chen came to Hengcheng and discussed the rental of the venue.

After the price was negotiated, Ye Chen immediately formed a shooting team.

These are all people who have worked with Ye Chen before.

When the last movie was finished, these people vowed to make the next movie with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen would come to them if he needed anything.

But when Ye Chen called, he found that many people had lost contact.

The rest came without saying a word after receiving a call from Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen exchanged pleasantries with these people, he realized that these people deliberately did not answer Ye Chen's calls.

Because they are not optimistic about Ye Chen's movie.

This also made Ye Chen very speechless.

A science fiction movie actually scared so many people away.

I have to say that these people are really supercilious, after all, they just want to do things, even if they lose money and wages, Ye Chen will do it.

It can only be said that this group of people is a bunch of white-eyed wolves.
