Ten days after the movie "The Disciple" was released, the box office has already passed the one billion mark. Online reviews of Wen Zheng and the movie have soared.
Film critics seemed to have found a blue ocean.
"Wen Zheng, a genius director who emerged from nowhere like a monster!"
"'The Disciple' is definitely one of the best films in the Dragon Kingdom in the past thirty years!"
"Watching the movie 'The Disciple' from a professional perspective, you will know how amazing Wen Zheng is."
…
Articles like this are flooding the Internet, as if Wen Zheng is once again being put on a pedestal with his movies.
On the other hand, Wen Zheng, after the initial publicity of the movie, he seemed to have disappeared. Although netizens kept calling him on the Internet, he never showed up again.
In his opinion, this is nothing more than the emperor's golden hoe, so he doesn't have much sense of accomplishment.
Dragon Kingdom's entertainment industry has been suffering for a long time. Whether it is music or film and television dramas, it can be said that it is surprisingly bad. It has been bad for too long. It is expected that whenever something normal appears, it will be immediately shocked.
As far as the entertainment field is concerned, Wen is standing on the shoulders of Blue Star, overlooking the Dragon Kingdom and even this other world. The starting point is different, and the state of mind is naturally much broader.
His goal is not just to be satisfied with this.
When the success of "The Disciple" is inevitable, then "Infernal Affairs" should also be put on the agenda.
Since he has pioneered the drama of undercover cops and gangsters, he naturally has to strike while the iron is hot to create the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy series. As long as he makes good use of the wave of popularity brought by "The Disciple", Boss Lin and his
In the joint venture industry, you will no longer have to worry about money.
Military scientific research is much more expensive than his website.
Here, Wen Zheng stayed behind closed doors and became a phenomenon-level movie. "The Disciple" also made several actors popular. Wen Zheng was not available for some programs, so they had to retreat and hire actors from the film.
For a time, Liu Hua and others, who had been idle for several years or even more than ten years without any films to film, seemed to have ushered in the second spring of their careers.
I recall that when I was in my prime, I was banned by Xuezang because of my outstanding performance. Who would have thought that after so many years, I would be praised by a new director. Even Feng Qin was surprised, let alone Liu Hua and the other three.
In a certain program.
The host asked: "Can you tell me why you joined Wen Zheng's crew? You must know that this is his first time as a director. Did you think this movie would be a hit from the beginning?"
Feng Qin saw that none of the three seniors had any intention of speaking first, so she took the lead in answering: "I have long been accustomed to trusting Mr. Wen. He should know that movies can be popular, but I don't have to think about these things, I just do as he asks.
"
Everyone knew that Feng Qin and Wen were in the same company, so her words did not cause much trouble.
Yanzu then laughed and said: "On the one hand, I do it for the sake of the custom maker, but on the other hand, I haven't received a job for a long time. As for whether the movie will be a hit, I was not optimistic at first. After all, he is only in his early twenties.
As a new director, I was even prepared to be tortured by him on the set."
"What about actually?"
The host asked.
Yanzu smiled bitterly: "Didn't I post it in the post? He is indeed good at torturing people, but I am in pain and happy."
The host looked curious.
Liu Hua hurriedly answered: "The main reason is that Wen Zheng pays too much attention to details. Not to mention that the filming of the 'Kitchen' scene was investigated, but the filming of the second half of the film, you will never expect that it was shot in real locations abroad! And in
During filming, every time we went to the bathroom there was someone with a dick following us. It was just crazy.”
The host exclaimed: "Isn't it possible?! Go to such a chaotic place to shoot on location?!"
Yan Zu laughed and said: "The post that was misunderstood by netizens was posted when I just came back from that place. The whole process was too thrilling."
Gu Le sighed: "At first we didn't believe that Wen Zheng was a qualified director, let alone whether the movie would be a hit, but after a few days of getting along, we were all convinced, and sometimes he would even tell me
He taught us how to shoot this scene, and after trying his method, the effect was indeed much better. Otherwise, do you think I would be willing to let him dress me up with big yellow teeth?"
When Liu Hua and others heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
In the month after the movie became a hit, Liu Hua and others participated in no less than six popular columns.
As he participated in more and more programs, the behind-the-scenes of film shootings were exposed more and more. The audience continued to marvel at Wen Zheng's various abilities, while insiders were envious of the terrifying exposure rate of Liu Hua and others.
In a high-end apartment.
Liu Jingyue held her cell phone and casually chatted, and all kinds of news about "The Disciples" came into view.
"Wen is a cruel person who dares to go to that kind of place and shoot scenes under gunpoint."
"Thanks to Wen Zheng, my family Yanzu is finally popular!"
"If it weren't for Wen Zheng, I wouldn't have known there were such good actors in Long Guo. Even Feng Qin's acting skills are amazing!"
"Is there a possibility that Wen Zheng trained him well? Andy has already said that the guilty retort scene was the result of reshooting under Wen Zheng's guidance. It is definitely a textbook-level scene."
"Even the little characters in it are outstanding. For example, Brother Kun, his wife, and his sister-in-law are definitely the number one female characters."
"I heard that he is from Extraordinary Entertainment. I also heard that the heroine was originally Liu Jingyue, but she refused."
"Hahaha, he is more popular than her now. I wonder what Liu Jingyue, the ninth person, feels about her. What is there to be arrogant about?"
"I must regret it to death."
"I now understand that good movies do not necessarily require large investments. I look forward to Wen Zheng's next film."
"Wen Zheng doesn't save any face for his colleagues. Who will dare to make movies with this theme in the future? I think it will be difficult for him to surpass this movie."
"There is a familiar feeling. This scene is very similar to a repeat of Wen Zheng's sweeping music scene."
"If God had not given birth to me, Uncle Wen, the music scene in the Dragon Country would be like a long night, and the film world would never see the light of day for an eternity!"
…
When Liu Jingyue saw this, she couldn't help but let out a heavy breath.
Netizens' every word of praise for Wen Zheng was like a slap in the face.
If she had had a better attitude and not dwelled on that issue, she would be the most popular now, or even more popular!
You must know that she is inherently better than Feng Qin.
Once regret arises, it spreads out of control like wild weeds.
Liu Jingyue covered her cheeks in pain, gritted her teeth and muttered to herself: "Wen Zheng, you are so cruel. If you hadn't lied to me, how could I have lost this opportunity! I should be the one who got angry! Who the hell is Feng Qin?
!”
After complaining for a while, she gradually calmed down. After thinking for a while, she personally called her boss Liang Long.
"Mr. Liang, I heard that Wen Zheng is already preparing for his next drama. Can you help me contact him? I am no worse than Feng Qin. I will definitely have no problem playing the heroine!"
"The heroine?"
Liang Long laughed and said sincerely: "You didn't give me any face before. If I hadn't forced myself to sneak people into the set, now I can't get along with Wen Zheng. Don't even think about it, heroine.
, it would be great if Wen Zheng could give you a supporting role."
Liu Jingyue was silent for a moment, then replied heartily: "Okay!"
She has endured this humiliation for the time being. As long as her career can reach a higher level, it will be worth it!
However, she hadn't fully realized that if Diplodocus had not spoken, Wen Zheng would have let her join the crew.
the other side.
Wen Qiang is really busy preparing for a new movie, but he has never thought about whether to combine the three "Infernal Affairs" parts into one, or to shoot them in three parts according to the original story sequence.
After he became a homeowner once, it was not difficult to find that funds and actors were a big problem. It was okay for Liu Hua and others, but to hire other actors, the salary was not a small amount. He was worried that after the box office donation this time, there would be no money at all.
Not enough for him to complete the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy in one go.
this day.
Wen Zheng went to see Old Man Yao as usual. On the way back, he learned that Lin Qi had gone to the National University in the imperial capital and was going to report at the end of the month.
When Lin Qi went to school to report, he naturally wanted to give him a gift. Although it was very close, if he didn't go, Lin Qi would have to be alone.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to postpone the next movie.
Inside the office of Yueyin Records.
Feng Qin found Wen Zheng and took out the homework that Wen Zheng had given him. Although the filming took a lot of time, she had not forgotten it.
Wen Zheng took her recomposed music for "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". After reading it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh: "Overall, it's not bad. It's just that you ignored the charm that ancient poetry should have and changed it to the popular one."
That's right, but the melody you wrote is a bit restless."
Feng Qin scratched his head awkwardly.
Wen Zheng turned to ask: "The songs I gave to those people before, what is their situation now?"
"It's good. They're all in the top ten of the pop charts. But it's just a statistical ranking of the past few weeks. Your songs still dominate the overall chart."
Feng Qin quickly replied.
Wen Zheng nodded and said hesitantly: "Have you ever thought about becoming an actor?"
To be honest, he was used to seeing extremely talented singers like Ye Xiaoxue and Lin Qi, but Feng Qin's creative ability was a bit underwhelming for him.
Of course, Wang Sisi is an exception.
Feng Qin thought for a while and said: "If I have the chance, I would like to give it a try, but I don't want to give up singing."
Wen Zheng hesitated for a moment, then casually wrote out Teresa Teng's version of "When Will the Bright Moon Come", handed it to her and said, "Let's take it and have a look first. If you have nothing else, do more research and comparison."
Feng Qin nodded confusedly, but hesitated to say: "Um...Brother Liu and the others said they wanted to see if you were free. Let's have a meal together to thank you."
"next time."
Wen Zheng didn't like participating in this kind of game, so he gave a perfunctory sentence, but as soon as he said it, he suddenly added, "At the beginning of next month. You can inform them to come here then, because the final box office of the movie will be released, let them
Come with me to the donation ceremony."
Feng Qin was overjoyed and agreed.
She naturally knew that this was Wen Zheng showing his face to them again, and it was at an official event, which was a rare opportunity, because the donation could be said to be Wen Zheng's personal behavior, and even if he didn't bring anyone with him, there would be no fault.
After Feng Qin left, Wen Zheng had nothing to do and opened the system again.
"Qiu Mi! You have a skill treasure chest that has not been opened. Would you like to open it immediately?"
The system prompt sounded, and Wen Zheng recalled it carefully. This time he realized that the skill treasure box was one of the rewards for winning the singing competition. Previously, he only gave the pills to Lin Qingge, but this reward has been shelved until now.
