Chapter 309 "Gravity"

I have to say that today is really a magical day. After all, according to the usual situation, Chen Xi is still quite tight-lipped, and often doesn't really say something about things like celebration banquets.

But today he actually said it after the reporters asked a little at this time, and it was still a big plan.

Space two part!
He said that one of them should not belong to sci-fi, but since it has something to do with space, even if it is not sci-fi, it will definitely have a spectacle that many people want to see.

From this perspective, everyone is really looking forward to Chen Xi's next movie.

The reporters were all gearing up, and each of them wanted to speak out directly about their own problems.

Finally, a reporter got the opportunity to ask questions and stood up directly, fearing that he would be one step behind.

"Director Chen, what kind of movie is your two-part space movie? When will the first movie start shooting, and will there be a certain connection between the two? Will these two movies inherit the feeling of "Source Code"? "

This series of questions made Chen Xi a little helpless, he was always introverted by this group of reporters.

"These two movies are both space movies, because there will be a large part of the content of space in the content of the movie. The first one is relatively realistic, while the second one is about the future. There is no connection between the front and back. I have already written the script of the first part, and most of the preparations have been completed, and now the filming will officially start at the beginning of next month.

Another summer file!

It seemed that Chen Xi also had a plan in mind.

Of course he has this foundation and this capital.

"What's the name of the movie? What kind of subject is it?"

At this time, Chen Xi smiled mysteriously, shook her head slightly and said, "These are kept secret for the time being, and I think everyone will see them when the launch conference is held next month."

"Fuck!"

Many reporters had the urge to vomit old blood, and they vomited it on Chen Xi's face without reservation, this bitch was in pain too!

There is even a trick.

And it is at this time.

The reporter's feeling at this moment was "Fuck, I took off my pants and you just show me this? Fuck!" But after that, Chen Xi was speechless and no longer revealed.

After a celebration banquet, the reporters were all reluctant to part with Chen Xi's new movie in their heads. After all, even if they didn't talk about their own work, from another point of view, many of the reporters present also liked the movie. They have a strong interest in movies, and they especially want to see all the news about Chen Xi's new movie.

And it's not just these reporters who think this way, because soon, many movie fans outside also got news about this matter. Suddenly, even Chen Xi's diehard loyalists all expressed their gratitude to Chen Xi. Conveying a huge amount of resentment:

"Director Chen, don't tempt us! We are really looking forward to your new movie! Can't you just tell us?"

"Director Chen is actually starting to make such a big deal now, it's really insane! Is it really okay for him to do this?"

"Director Chen, Director Chen, Director Chen! I beg you to tell us all the news about the new movie as soon as possible. It is best to tell us what kind of movie the new movie is and what it is about."

Of course, there are also some who have temporarily ignored this issue, and are simply surprised and excited by Chen Xi's previous things.

"Chen Xi is going to shoot a space sci-fi film again! The two-part space film is definitely the first of its kind in China! Moreover, if someone else shoots this type of film, I think it will definitely be shot badly, but Since it was filmed by Chen Xi, I don't know what else to say besides expecting."

"Chen Xi's space movie, a science fiction movie! Thinking about it, I feel excited. The No.1 domestic science fiction movie is definitely worth looking forward to! I just don't know that it will be less than a year from now to next year's summer vacation, and he can really do it." Are there so many things?" Some people couldn't help raising their own doubts.

In fact, this kind of questioning is absolutely fatal to the directors of the first class, but Chen Xi already has many things in his head, and with the ready-made layout, it is easy to do it. Simple and confident, no other director can compare with him.

After the celebration banquet just ended, Chen Xi finally got the affirmative news that Andy Lau also joined her new movie. In this way, the main actors of the new movie have been confirmed.

One Zhang Ziyi, one Andy Lau!

These are the two main actors in Chen Xixin's film.

Of course, in the final analysis, there are only a few actors for Chen Xi's new film, so the roles of the two are determined, and the casting is probably completed.

Chen Xi's new movie is "Gravity".

This is a Hollywood movie. Strictly speaking, it is not a real blockbuster movie, but the commercial effects, artistic achievements and recognition obtained in the end are completely unimaginable for this movie before.

This movie simply has a dark horse feel to it.

In a very competitive world market, the appearance of "Gravity" can almost be said to be eye-popping.

This movie quietly appeared in front of everyone with an identity that many people didn't pay much attention to at the beginning. In the end, it won a super box office of nearly 8 million US dollars worldwide. In fact, this box office has far exceeded everyone's imagination.

In terms of entertainment, the movie basically has nothing to choose. The wonderful visual effects, immersive 3D effects, and the wonderful and compact plot that flexibly uses the "time bomb" principle all make this movie almost as entertaining as a movie. To the extreme, although a group of pretentious young people on Douban in later generations said that they were trembling and breathing hard, that was mostly exaggerated, but it is true that this movie is quite entertaining.

And this movie doesn't stop there.

Chen Xi's "Gravity" is also very literary and artistic. The longing for the earth in the middle of the film, the ultimate concern for human life and evolution, is full of philosophy and religion.

And philosophy and religion... As the saying goes, the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is religion. This kind of thing that rises to metaphysics has already given "Gravity" enough artistry, and there are many things in the movie Existence, there are many metaphors in it, which will make people feel what is contained in this movie.

Many of Chen Xi's previous films, even "Source Code", which was quite well-reviewed, and the first "Frontier Wind and Cloud", which he really broke into everyone's hearts, all had good scores and good reviews, but in fact, this Two films, in terms of real artistry and thoughtfulness, there is no particularly large contribution.

Of course, no one requires that movies must have this kind of thoughtfulness. Maybe some people have such requirements before, but now, movies carry more entertainment.

So these two movies are quite qualified in terms of entertainment.

As for "Front and Cloud", there may be a little thinking about law and people in the middle, which will make everyone think more about this movie.

But "Source Code" really makes everyone like it, and what really makes this movie unique and quite magical is because of the sci-fi ideas of this movie. In other places, the artistry of the movie is not particularly strong.

Of course there is no place to talk about the commercial nature of "Source Code", but the artistic nature of the movie is not particularly amazing...

But "Gravity" is different!

These are the reasons why Chen Xi chose this movie.

The film's investment will probably exceed [-] million, or even more.

Many productions of "Gravity" have been gradually completed, including the studio has been set up.

Previously, Chen Xi was waiting for Andy Lau's final reply.

In fact, Chen Xi originally wanted to hand over the leading role of "Gravity" to Tony Leung, but after careful consideration, he felt that Andy Lau seemed more suitable.

Andy Lau made people feel more like the male protagonist in "Gravity", and Liang Chaowei didn't have enough time at that time, and he and Zhang Ziyi had already acted together in "The Grandmaster", Chen Xi also wants to find something now chemical reaction.

Andy Lau actually has good acting skills. His performance in "Dark War" at that time can be said to have reached its peak, but this person is so handsome that it is easy for people to ignore his acting skills. In fact, his acting skills are indeed quite good .

Later, Andy Lau's acting skills exploded in "Sister Tao".

For an actor like Andy Lau, he can really play some roles better, especially certain roles, such as in "Sister Tao", he can play well.

But if Andy Lau plays some unsuitable roles, the feeling he performs will make people feel that this guy just wants to use these things to explain one thing: I really work hard in acting, I really I worked hard to play every role well.

This kind of feeling is so far-fetched... Anyway, his performance in "Lonely" still has certain problems. Although he really worked hard, there is still a natural gap between him and the profession of farmers.

But if you look at the character background of the leading actor in "Gravity", Andy Lau is still very competent, and there is no problem.

Andy Lau was a little hesitant about this role before. In fact, many movies may not be able to tell from the script. After all, some directors can make a bad script into a good movie, but some directors can make a good script into a bad movie.

So Andy Lau felt that the script of "Gravity" seemed a bit simple, and it was a movie with a sci-fi feel. In addition, he failed with "Future Police" before, so he was a little natural for science fiction. immunity.

So, Andy Lau really hesitated for a while, until these few days he really figured it out.

In fact, sometimes making a film really feels like writing a thesis.

A big proposition may not be shot well, and sometimes it is better to shoot movies with relatively small subjects and not trying to stuff everything into it.

Moreover, Chen Xi can make such a good movie even if it is "Frontier", and he can also make a pretty good "Source Code", so he should be confident enough to shoot "Gravity" now. It shouldn't be a problem to make this movie well.

Based on such thoughts, Andy Lau has quite sufficient expectations for Chen Xixin's film.

As for Zhang Ziyi...

Chen Xi also had a lot of considerations.

Zhang Ziyi, no matter how many people scold her or dislike her, her acting skills are there, and there are many hard conditions.

Her acting skills are among the four major actresses, perhaps second only to Zhou Xun, and even in some specific roles, her acting skills surpass Zhou Xun.

Moreover, Zhang Ziyi's overseas popularity is also good...

In fact, among the Chinese stars, before Chen Xi appeared, the most well-known people overseas were probably Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, and Gong Li. Zhang Ziyi's popularity was actually pretty good.

After "Memoirs of a Geisha", her overseas popularity has risen to a higher level...

And Zhang Ziyi has something that other Chinese stars can't compare to.

That's what she looks like...

This person's appearance has the static beauty that Orientals appreciate, and the dynamic beauty that Westerners appreciate. The combination of the two is her.

This kind of unique thing is difficult for others to have.

Zhang Ziyi was more enthusiastic about Chen Xi's movie, and she agreed quickly.

At the beginning of November, finally, the news of "Gravity" was officially released in China. This space disaster film can be regarded as China's first.

And Chen Xi has already told everyone about the two main actors of "Gravity", Zhang Ziyi and Andy Lau, which make people feel that Chen Xi's configuration is quite attractive.

Whether it is Andy Lau or Zhang Ziyi, the popularity in China is quite good, especially Andy Lau, who is now a superstar in many people's hearts. Many people also watch Andy Lau's film and television works and listen to his songs for so many decades. .

Chen Xi used these two actors to make people look forward to this film.

However, there are still a few people who express a kind of regret about this matter: because many people now think that Chen Xi should also act.

It's really weird now.

After Chen Xi was in "Source Code", many people not only recognized Chen Xi's acting skills, but also had strong expectations for his performance in the movie.

Many people want to see Chen Xi in more movies...

In fact, there are still some people who were looking forward to seeing Chen Xixin's performance in the movie, but it's a pity that it was a mess. Of course, as long as the movie directed by Chen Xi is in their hearts, they are still looking forward to it.

Soon, "Gravity" will officially hold a launch conference.
