Chapter 159 Celebrities

The group got off the plane in Xining and were received by the local cultural and tourism department.

In the evening, Cheng Yu'an politely declined the leader's invitation: "I have to travel tomorrow, so just have a simple meal and no drinking."

After dinner, Cheng Yuan also took the engineer to discuss the design plan of the Mars rover, engineering vehicle, and Mars base.

"When I was writing the script before, I had a draft of my own and drew some pictures for everyone to take a look at. I don't know anything about aerospace, so if you find anything wrong, feel free to mention it."

Cheng Yu'an pulled out the drawings he drew.

Needless to say, the result was that in the eyes of a professional engineer, the drawing drawn by Cheng Yuan, an amateur, had nothing right.

"Everyone, this is a movie. It's really based on real aviation technology. Let's not do it. I'll just draw a picture and you can see if it's feasible to make a Mars rover like this."

"It does look a bit like that, but your construction truck looks like a Kamaz to me." A truck from the Soviet Union.

"I designed it based on the appearance of Kamaz, but the body of the vehicle is more flexible to facilitate operations on the surface of Mars."

To say that these engineers really have two skills, Cheng Yu'an brought out all the design drawings of "The Martian" in the original time and space, and they were picked on a lot by them.

Either the design is inconsistent with common sense, or the design is not suitable for Mars operations.

And it has been significantly modified in terms of industrial aesthetics.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yuan and his party drove to their destination, Hongya, Dachaidan, Haixi Prefecture.

In the car, the local guide was very puzzled about the purpose of Cheng Yu'an and his group: "Why are you filming in this inhospitable place? There are not even ghosts all year round."

"You intellectuals are really full."

The outer part of Hongya’s uninhabited area is brown, and the color becomes redder as you go inside.

"It's beautiful!" Qin Ranqiu, as a photographer, likes the scenery here very much.

"It's very cold!" The guide wrapped up his clothes, "It's not very nice now. Come back in the second half of the year, especially in the three months of July, August, and September. It's so red here that it looks like it's stained with blood. It's scary."

.”

"This place can be included as a candidate. Let's take a look in the second half of the year. If it really looks like blood stains as this fellow said, it will save us a lot of trouble."

The group stayed in the Hongya area for five days. After carefully observing the geology and landforms, they moved to Long Province and Xin Province for inspection.

Finally, they returned to the capital in the middle of the month. After being away for more than half a month and nearly a month, Cheng Yu'an and Qin Ranqiu were blown two degrees rough by the northwest wind.

So much so that when the two returned to the company, Cheng Lingfeng didn't recognize them for the first time.

"You were beaten? How did you end up in such a terrible state?" Cheng Lingfeng suppressed a smile.

"Don't laugh, you are more masculine even if you are rough." Qin Ranqiu could only make excuses for herself in this way.

…………

Yu Dong's major drama this year, "The Disciple", won the first two days, with a good result of 600,000 on the first day.

The appeal of Andy Lau + Wu Azu is evident.

However, only "50 First Dates" with an investment of 4 million was released on Valentine's Day.

But it’s so damn good that it happens on the same day as “Night at the Museum.”

"Night at the Museum" took in 8 million at the box office on Valentine's Day, directly surpassing the first-day box office of "50 First Dates" which was only 100,000.

In fact, the entire month's schedule is very good, and the excitement is comparable to the Lunar New Year schedule.

A lot of films are coming out this month.

1.0 "007: Casino Royale" is the first to open its monthly release.

Then the domestic romantic comedy "Love Call Transfer" was released on .8.

No. 1 "The Disciple", No. 14 "Night at the Museum", No. 18 "Gemini Thieves" by the Tins sisters, No. 7 "The Devil Wears Prada".

If "50 First Dates" wants to survive in such a siege, it's not enough to just have two pure newcomers, Luo Jin and Tangtang.

The remote publicity department used a trick - stir up scandals!

Hype the scandal between the male and female protagonist Luo Jin and Tangtang.

It is said that they fell in love because of the play, and the fake play was real.

They were inseparable on the set, and they kissed passionately and seriously during their kissing scenes. After filming, they often ate and played together.

It can't be said that it's a fake. The consent of the two people was obtained before the hype. People in the industry knew it was fake at a glance, but for the sake of box office, this kind of operation is considered relatively normal.

"50 First Dates" took advantage of the scandal between the two to slightly increase the box office. However, under the attack of several blockbusters, the film schedule was constantly cut. After three weeks of release, it took in 14 million at the box office and was ruthlessly removed from theaters.

Because the Korean blockbuster "Han River Monster" is here.

The most watched movie in Korea so far, 1 million.

With the support of Song Kang-ho and Bae Doo-na, two national top movie queens, and director Bong Joon-ho, there is no reason for this film to lose in Korea.

After "The Han River Monster" took in nearly 10 million in box office in its first week, a director sent a letter of inquiry to the General Administration.

Asked why foreign monster movies can be imported into China, but our domestic directors cannot make monsters.

This matter was circulated within the circle and did not spread outside.

How this matter was handled later, and whether the General Administration responded to the inquiry, Cheng Yuan had no idea.

He is in trouble now. Although he has been in trouble since the launch of "The Martian", this time the trouble is not from the entertainment industry, but from "Forbes".

Cheng Yuan did not authorize Forbes to make statistics at all, but Forbes still ranked him 4th in the overall ranking of 007 Chinese Celebrities.

Second only to Dayao, Liu Xiang and Zhang Yimou, followed by Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Mr. Zhou.

In terms of income, he is tied for tenth with Mr. Zhou with 1 million.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't laugh or cry as he took the report: "No, who said I had one million? Why didn't I know?"

"Don't you?" Qin Ranqiu didn't even look at him.

"I don't know." Cheng Yu'an really didn't know.

"Look at this, our company was on the list and won a business organization award. Will Lingfeng go to receive the award?"

Cheng Yu'an rolled his eyes and said, "Lingfeng is too lazy to pay attention to lists like Forbes."

"That's Forbes." Qin Ranqiu attaches great importance to this ranking and tries to find his name in it.

"He ranked us without authorization and did a property survey. I didn't sue him and it was fine. Why did I go to the platform to collect the award for him?"

Neither Cheng Yu'an nor Cheng Lingfeng were so enthusiastic about the wealth list, which may have something to do with the Cheng family's tutoring.

The Cheng family has always followed the path of making money in silence, and it is too late to hide from this kind of exposure.

That is to say, the aunt and nephew were caught by Forbes because they worked in a high-exposure industry such as movies.

Just after "Forbes" released its celebrity list, some media published a list of "Top Ten Outstanding Representatives of China's Post-80s Generation".

Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei are the only two people in the entertainment industry to be selected.

There is only one sentence in Cheng Yuan's profile: Born in 1988, graduated from the Film Academy in 2000, and won the Venice Best Director Award at the age of 2004.
