It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 973 Science fiction turned into comedy? "Dying to Survive" starts filming! Is Han Sanping's family fortune in jeopardy?
In a blink of an eye, there is only one day left in October.

Influenced by word of mouth, screening schedule and film reviews, the box office of "Duds" unexpectedly soared on the second day, from 2000 million to 3000 million, which really surprised many people!
However, limitations still exist.

At least in terms of popularity, this newly released movie cannot be compared with movies like "Kunlun Temple" which is about to be withdrawn.

For the entire morning, the top spot on the hot search list was dominated by the news that "Kunlun Temple" had entered the key extension period.

"The fantasy, action and adventure film "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Kunlun Palace", which is controlled by Feiyue Films, directed by Ning Hao, and starred by Liu Ye, Shu Chang, Chen Minghao, Huang Bo and others, has been released for 30 days and has accumulated a box office of 38.77 billion yuan, and has successfully entered the key extension stage!
The film currently has 523 million in new daily box office revenue left, and the estimated box office revenue is around 39.5 billion, so please stay tuned..."

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Hao suddenly ran back from Hong Kong.

As soon as he entered Chen Fei's office, he sighed and muttered, "Alas! This movie has entered the later stages of release, and it's really hard to increase the box office! It's only 1.3 million away from breaking 40 billion, but today's new box office has collapsed. Don't you think this is a rip-off?"

Chen Fei ignored his complaints and looked at him in confusion. He asked curiously, "Aren't you in Hong Kong? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"I've been busy with a lot of things lately, so I came back. Besides, the filming over there has already gotten on track, so there's no point for me to stay..."

Director Ning began to talk about his itinerary, such as attending Li An's Director and Master Forum, and being a jury member of the Berlin International Film Festival.

"Oh! By the way, my husband is already writing a script based on "The Rural Teacher". I'll show it to you after the first draft is finished, and you can help me with some advice."

When he heard this topic, the corners of Chen Fei's mouth twitched uncontrollably...

"Are you sure you want to adapt a science fiction novel into a comedy?"

"Yeah! It's certain! We have finalized it."

"Well, since you insist on doing this, then let's do it."

Chen Fei didn't know what to say. Ning Hao had already filmed three "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series of movies, and now he insisted on filming a comedy to change his mind. No one could stop him, so they could only let him have fun.

It is definitely impossible for the movie to lose money. With the reputation that Director Ning has accumulated, he has many followers.

But doing so might just consume his box office appeal.

……

On November 11st, the filming of "Dying to Survive" was officially announced.

The crew did not hold a particularly grand opening ceremony. After all, this is a realistic film, not a commercial blockbuster aimed at box office profits.

Suffering is not worth celebrating.

Chen Fei even planned to promote the film as little as possible in the publicity of overly sad scenes to avoid causing adverse social impact.

It is enough that this movie was successfully made, successfully released in theaters, and can improve the miserable lives of some people.

As for the amount of box office revenue, it is the least important point for him.

However, no matter how low-key the crew was, the hot searches did not let them go.

For the entire morning, the news that "Dying to Survive has officially started filming" has been ranked No. 1 on Weibo's hot search list, attracting many netizens to watch.

However, because the crew refused to accept media interviews and visits, not much information about the filming leaked out.

The time soon came to noon.

At 12 o'clock, a hot search suddenly appeared on Weibo, major portals, and entertainment headlines, attracting the attention and exploration of countless people in the entire entertainment and film and television industry, and even the financial industry!

"This morning, Jingxi Culture, Changshengtian Pictures, China Film Group, Bona Film Group, and Anle Pictures and many other film and television companies held a high-profile media press conference in Beijing, officially announcing that they will jointly produce the 'Hairstyle Eastern Mythology Series Movie' - "Investiture of the Gods!"

"It is reported that Investiture of the Gods is adapted from the ancient Chinese mythological novel Investiture of the Gods and the Southern Song Dynasty vernacular novel The Story of King Wu's Conquest of King Zhou. It mainly tells the story of how Ji Fa and others launched a large-scale war against the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty King Yin Shou and the fox demon Daji, which affected the three realms of humans, immortals and demons."

"At the press conference, Wu Ershan, the screenwriter, director and producer of Investiture of the Gods, said: The Investiture of the Gods series of films will be presented in the form of a trilogy, and each one will be a double shock to the visuals and the soul.

In order to ensure the quality and effect of the film, the producers decided to use a one-shot method to complete the filming of the trilogy. "

"Song Ge, chairman of Jingxi Culture, made a speech: The budget of the "Investiture of the Gods" trilogy will be as high as 30 billion yuan, which not only sets a new record for domestic films in terms of investment scale, but also strives to keep pace with the international standards in terms of production level!"

"La Peikang, Chairman of China Film Group Corporation, solemnly announced at the press conference that Investiture of the Gods will recruit tens of thousands of amateur actors from around the world at the beginning of next year to form a Investiture of the Gods training camp. This move aims to inject fresh blood into the film and bring unprecedented sense of participation and expectation to the audience.

Only actors who have been strictly selected and carefully trained can truly interpret every role in "Investiture of the Gods" and let the audience feel the shock and touch from the bottom of their hearts during the viewing process..."

The entire film and television industry, as well as the entertainment and financial circles, have been in an uproar with the announcement of "The Investiture of the Gods Trilogy"!

You know, in July of this year, "The Legend of the Gods" produced by Bona Film Group just set a new box office disaster record.

But only 4 months have passed, and "Fengshen Trilogy" is out again.

And the most important thing is that the investment in this movie has actually increased to 30 billion yuan!
That's 30 billion! Not 3 million!
Even if it is a series of movies, the investment cost of one movie has reached 10 billion!
Since when did the domestic cinema market become able to accommodate large-scale productions of this scale?

With a huge investment of 30 billion, doesn't that mean that these three series of movies need at least 90 billion in box office revenue to make back their investment? Isn't that too exaggerated and too bold?
Netizens are discussing what this movie is about, and many people in the film and television industry are already trying to figure out how to audition.

As for the financial circle, all attention is now focused on the stocks of three listed companies: China Film, Beijing West Culture, and Emperor Entertainment.

As expected, when the breaking news of "Fengshen Trilogy" was announced, the stocks of the three companies immediately began to soar, and the increase of each one was more exaggerated than the other!

In just one afternoon, the combined market value of the three companies increased by at least 20 billion!

Seeing this scene, many "thousand-year-old turtles" and "ten-thousand-year-old Pixiu" were enlightened. They quickly gathered their teams and began to study the possibility of entering the entertainment and film and television circles.

This money is so damn easy to make. If you don’t get in now, when will you?

……

At this time, while the popularity of "Fengshen" was raging in the film and television circles, the filming of "Dying to Survive" was going smoothly.

In a small restaurant in the capital.

Qin Hao, with greasy hair, unshaven beard and fierce face, was holding a cigarette in his hand. The same group of thin men wearing masks issued the final notice:

"This is how we'll sell this medicine from now on. In principle, it's kept low-key. If something goes wrong, no one will be able to take it. Any other questions?"

In the camera lens, the group of people opposite Qin Hao had uncertain eyes, with fear and despair...

At this time, a man with sunken eye sockets suddenly said hesitantly: "Boss, this medicine is still a bit expensive."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to voice their opinions, complaining, groaning, and wailing, all hoping that the price could be lower.

However, at this moment, Qin Hao took out the cigarette from his mouth, glanced around, and impatiently stopped everyone's discussion.

"Did I sell it for 30,000 or 20,000? You think 5,000 is too expensive? Ha, the genuine product costs 37,000! Do I want this much? Still think it's too expensive? Then just don't eat it.

Also, can you please take off your masks when you talk to me? I can't even tell who is who. Do you understand the rules of negotiation?"

This wave of strong counter-questions directly shocked everyone.

After all, the medicine is brought by someone else, and you can only take it if you are obedient. Otherwise, you can't even get medicine worth 5000 yuan, and you can only buy medicine worth 3 yuan!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Tan Zhuo, who played the leading female pole dancer, carefully explained, "Brother Yong, this is a germ-filled environment, it's not convenient for them."

"It's a bacterial environment, right? Okay, then just wear it." Qin Hao suddenly sneered, smoked a cigarette slowly, and stopped talking.

At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet!
This is a silent game!

Both parties had just met each other, there was no affection between them, and everyone was only concerned about their own interests.

The patients wanted to put pressure on them to lower the price, but Qin Hao grasped their pain points and was now forcing everyone to bow their heads, essentially in order to establish his dominant position in the transaction.

In "Dying to Survive", Cheng Yong is not a good guy.

He opened his own shop selling Indian magic oil and even dared to smuggle drugs abroad. He is truly a veteran in the underworld.

Therefore, he was very familiar with this kind of bargaining scene, and it was easy for him to take control of the situation when he knew that he had an absolute advantage.

Qin Hao is very good at playing this kind of role, because when he played Yan Liang in "The Undocumented Crime", he had a ruffian character.

However, Cheng Yong in "Dying to Survive" is not a corrupt businessman who is evil to the core!
After forcing everyone to take off their masks and seeing their pale faces and coughing in the germicidal environment, he finally softened his heart.

There was a hint of embarrassment in his flickering eyes, and he calmly put out the cigarette in his hand.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Okay, put them on, and I'll give your group leader a 20% discount at most."

With this, the filming of this scene tonight has ended.

"Cut!"

Behind the monitor, Fade Chen picked up the loudspeaker and shouted "stop", then watched the replay carefully.

Although the movie "Dying to Survive" has a prototype, significant changes were made during the script writing process.

Especially the male lead "Cheng Yong".

The prototype was actually that Lu Yong himself fell ill, and then went to India to buy generic drugs. When other patients found out, they asked him to help bring the drugs, and later more and more patients came to ask for help.

During this period, Lu Yong was only a purchasing agent and did not make any profit from it.

From a practical point of view, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Yong did, and he could even be described as "chivalrous and courageous"!
But if it is directly adapted into a movie, the plot would be a bit too bland and would not be enough to reflect the "glory" of this character hidden beneath his human nature.

Therefore, Cheng Yong in the movie becomes a normal person, but not the kind of normal person who is "kind" in the ordinary sense. Instead, he is a guy who is full of mercenary mentality, loves money like his life, and will do anything for money...

His original purpose of selling drugs was to make money, and he didn't have any other noble ideas.

Even after making enough money, he simply walked away, leaving the road to another profiteer.

Such a design will undoubtedly make his later "human transformation" even more shocking!
This kind of transformation cannot be achieved overnight. It requires countless struggles and choices, from initial hesitation to firm belief later!
And this is the only way for him to become the "Medicine God"!

This transformation is not only a tenacious struggle for life, but also a profound exploration and reflection on human nature. It shows an indomitable spirit in the face of adversity and the effort to find hope and strength in despair.

However, Cheng Yong’s journey to become the “God of Medicine” in the movie is not without cost.

Chen Fei still remembers clearly that in the original time and space, when "Dying to Survive" was in theaters, the prototype character of the movie, Lu Yong, stood up and sued the crew.

You know, Lu Yong has never sought any personal gain from purchasing medicines on behalf of others.

The current design of the film will undoubtedly cause a certain degree of discredit to his character image.

However, when Chen Fei raised this point, Han Jianu made a solemn assurance, saying that she had reached an agreement with Lu Yong.

After the film is released, the crew will solemnly clarify the entire process of plot adaptation and donate a certain amount of money in the name of the crew to help such patients.

This move not only reflects the crew's respect and care for the prototype characters, but also highlights the humanitarian spirit conveyed by the film.

The story of Cheng Yong in the movie is not just about one person's counterattack and growth, but also a profound reflection on human nature of an era.

Chen Fei believes that the authenticity and transformation of this character will definitely make the movie "Dying to Survive" even more shocking!
More than ten minutes later, the clip that had just been shot was officially reviewed.

"Ok, great, that one just passed."

As his orders were issued, the originally quiet set suddenly became lively, with noisy discussions heard everywhere.

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Han Jianu: "Make some arrangements. You can ask the hotel to send lunch boxes over. After eating, we can shoot another night scene and then go back to the hotel to rest."

"Ok."

Han Jianu, the assistant director, nodded and went to work quickly.

Seeing this, Wang Yong nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "Although Jia Nu is a little impatient, she is quite efficient in doing things and working. She is a talented person with great potential."

Han Sanping smiled when she heard this: "We can say this in private, but make sure she doesn't hear it, otherwise this girl will be so proud of herself again."

"Haha, Lao Wang! I finally know how you got the role of 'Public Security Bureau Chief'. To use the words of today's young people, you are a bootlicker!"

Ren Zhonglun was still feeling aggrieved about his role as the "hotel owner". He felt uncomfortable when he thought about talking about trying out the Indian magic oil.

"Haha." Wang Yong was not angry. "If you have the ability, go ahead and lick her. See if she can change your role."

A few people gathered together and chatted for a while, and when the lunch boxes were delivered, they gathered around a table and ate and chatted.

"This La Pei Kang is really capable of making a fuss. A 30 billion investment? The Investiture of the Gods trilogy? Wow! I wonder how much of a share China Film has in this."

Ren Zhonglun looked at it with some envy. After all, China Film’s stock price had reached its daily limit because of this project!

However, Han Sanping, who has already retired, suddenly seemed to have a bright mind and pointed out the key point directly: "30 billion investment? It should be difficult to recover the cost of such a project, right?"

At this moment, what came to his mind were "Red Cliff" and "The Crossing", and the more he thought about it, the more painful it became!
Chen Fei took a bite of rice and laughed, "If we only rely on the box office, we will definitely not be able to recover the cost, because movies with oriental mythology such as "Investiture of the Gods" are destined to find audiences only in China, but the current domestic film market cannot afford such a large project..."

As soon as he said this, everyone at the table was stunned.

Wang Yong subconsciously asked, "If not relying on the box office? How can we recover the cost?"

"You should ask our Chairman Ren Da about this. He owns a listed company and he is an expert in this area."

Hearing this, several people turned their heads and looked at Ren Zhonglun.

"Ahem, let's eat, let's not talk about this topic, it's meaningless..."

Seeing that Ren Zhonglun was unwilling to talk, Chen Fei had to add: "It's just some underwater operations in the financial field. The stock market can make money much faster than simply selling box office tickets."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong immediately looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

At this moment, Han Sanping's face suddenly changed!
He didn't believe that La Peikang didn't know the inside story, and now that China Film Group was also involved, it undoubtedly proved that Chairman Lada was also involved in some corresponding underwater operations...

"Damn it! This guy has gone crazy for political achievements. Isn't he afraid of something going wrong?"

Han Sanping's assets are now all in the China Film Group's stock market. If all his assets are lost because of La Peikang, the loss will be too great!
