Chapter 231 Filming of "BJ Meets Seattle" Starts

Now Chen Xi and the others were involved in quite terrifying funds, and the money they owed was also terrifying.

But Chen Xi is now open and there is no turning back. Not only does he want to ensure the normal progress of his big plans, but he also wants to make sure that there is no problem with the follow-up funds of these big plans.

It is really too difficult to guarantee those things, and any thing will consume a lot of money, which has to be a headache.

Now Chen Xi's "BJ Meets Seattle" is actually a film that almost needs to be shot with a loan, and there are some capital injections from other film companies, but Chen Xi and the others are only willing to let other film companies inject 30% of the funds .

Chen Xi asked other film companies to join this film project, but there were some conditions. One of the conditions was that there was a relatively strict requirement on the share, and Chen Xi and the others added some terms... These terms are likely to be Something happens.

For example, at that time, Chen Xi and the others are likely to withhold some of the movie's money to shoot new movies... This is also the usual practice of many film companies.

In fact, some of the film companies invested by Deep Space Film and Television have been betting on the films they should get. This is also a relatively common practice in the industry. Movies that are supposed to make money let them make a lot of money and they can't just pay nothing.

There are many reasons why Chen Xi chose to finally let other companies participate in the investment in "BJ Meets Seattle", and some reasons are particularly important.

Another thing is that Chen Xi basically had a major quarrel with the mainstream film industry before.

He mainly wanted the box office of this film, so he couldn't bear the shortage of film schedules at that time. Question, but if there is capital injection from other companies, in order to recover the cost, in terms of theaters, it will become somewhat simpler and more advantageous...

This is what Chen Xi is thinking now. Chen Xi has made enough arrangements and plans for these things.

...By the end of January, the filming preparations for "BJ Meets Seattle" have basically been completed.

"Chen Xi's new movie? Is it still a romantic comedy?"

When hearing this news, a large number of people were surprised. From the perspective of comedy, Chen Xi's "People on the Journey" proved his ability. In terms of romantic comedy, "33 Days of Broken Love" It has been proved enough, so now everyone is really looking forward to Chen Xi's new movie.

"Chen Xi's "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is a very favorite movie, but in some places it is indeed unavoidable, and there are indeed problems that are more like TV dramas... I hope his "BJ Meets Seattle" can make some achievements, Make it a more classic romantic comedy movie!"

...Soon, Deep Space Films released the news of "BJ Meets Seattle" on its official website.

"Gold Digger" Wen Jiajia (played by Tang Wei) used to be an editor of a gourmet magazine, and she is full of romantic fantasies about love like the movie "Sleepless in Seattle".But in reality, because there is no way to issue a birth certificate in China, she traveled thousands of miles to the confinement center in Seattle alone to wait for the birth.

In the yuezi center, Wen Jiajia's style of showing off her wealth aroused the disgust of the landlord and other pregnant women. Feeling lonely, she could only confide her heart to the driver Frank (played by Wu Xiubo).And the seemingly dull and honest "uncle down and out" Frank is not a mediocre man, he used to be a first-class famous doctor of cardiovascular diseases in China.In getting along, Frank's thoughtfulness and tolerance gradually melted Wen Jiajia's savage willfulness.When Wen Jiajia's rich boyfriend suddenly disappeared, Wen Jiajia, who became poor overnight, was taken care of by Frank. During the days of living with Frank and his daughter, Wen Jiajia found the warmth of home .The two got along day and night, and developed a subtle relationship, but the reality gave her another surprise in this situation...

You can also see something from the introduction.

Overall, the profile is attractive enough, too.

"Tang Wei, Wu Xiubo... This is really a strange combination! But the looks and acting skills of the two are not a problem... and judging from the current makeup photos, Wu Xiubo with a beard really has a certain personality. He is so handsome!" This is the comment of some ordinary movie fans, indeed, there are quite a few people who know Wu Xiubo, and many of them knew him in "Before Dawn", but what they saw before was only the same face Wu Xiubo, who didn't have a clean beard on his face, is now a handsome Wu Xiubo who wears glasses and looks vicissitudes.

Judging from Tang Wei's makeup photos, she is also more beautiful. No matter from any angle, she is completely different from the Tang Wei in "Lust, Caution". The current Wen Jiajia is a relatively obvious modern woman. Trendy women.

This also made many people pay more attention to Tang Wei's stuff.

Of course, Tang Wei himself may be more concerned about "BJ Meets Seattle" than most people. After all, Tang Wei also knows that this movie is an opportunity for her to transform. As a director, Chen Xi's movies are always successful at the box office. This movie can also be successful at the box office, and its reputation is not bad. As long as it can reach the level of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", "BJ Meets Seattle" can become her transformation masterpiece!

... Soon, on January 1th, "BJ Meets Seattle" officially held its opening ceremony in Beijing. In fact, although the movie has the word BJ, there are very few scenes shot in BJ, and most of them need to be shot in the United States. Taken in Vancouver.

But now is also a beginning.

All kinds of reporters on this day are also flocking to it. From the very beginning when they heard that Chen Xi was going to shoot "BJ Meets Seattle", they have been waiting for the day when the movie will actually start shooting. Now that they have waited for so long, they have finally arrived. , so they are all acting on hearing the news now.

The venue was also packed to the brim.

Since Chen Xi filmed "33 Days of Broken Love", his popularity has risen to a higher level. It was accompanied by Chen Xi's subsequent war of words with Zhuang Guofei, especially the tearing face at the director's annual meeting. Let the reporters look forward to what Chen Xi will do next.

They couldn't wait to find some new news about Chen Xi.

Now that the news point has come, it depends on whether they can find and excavate it from Chen Xi.

Soon, under the attention of the reporters, Chen Xi, Wu Xiubo, and Tang Wei walked to the rostrum of the press conference and sat down, facing the long guns and short guns of many reporters from all directions.

Now Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo are both by Chen Xi's side, but the reporters are not paying much attention to these two well-known and topical actors. On the contrary, the focus of their attention is still On Chen Xi alone...

Soon, the first reporter's question was asked: "Director Chen, this is the first film you shot after the directors' annual meeting. This film you shot has the potential to prove yourself in front of old directors such as Zhuang Guofei." Thoughts?"

Chen Xi also had a dispensable attitude towards this kind of question, and he smiled at the moment: "This question... I don't think there is much need to answer it, because in fact, I have many people who are enthusiastic about the previous ones. I don’t pay much attention to the so-called breakup, and I don’t think I really need to prove it because of what they say, I am me, and I have a plan of my own.”

Chen Xi really had no intention of wanting Niaozhuang Guofei. In public, Chen Xi's attitude towards him was just that she didn't need to pay attention to him.

In fact, this was already a slap in the face for Zhuang Guofei.

The second reporter still asked a somewhat similar related question: "Then is "BJ Meets Seattle" a commercial film or a literary film?"

Chen Xidao: "You can define it as a commercial film or as a literary film. In fact, "BJ Meets Seattle" is a film that has both."
