Maybe two lifetimes of experience.

Only Chen Jiahui did not get lost in the various praises and accolades coming from the outside world, and quietly performed his own drama, even when writing songs.

The word vanity can easily kill people.

A person who is filled with vanity can be very scary when it swells up.

fortunately.

Chen Jiahui's determination is very strong.

He is also very clear-headed about his self-awareness. He came from Earth. Apart from his own skills in acting, nothing like the script and lyrics are his.

But when it comes to "Infernal Affairs", the shortcomings of his own abilities are revealed.

On Earth, after the success of "Infernal Affairs", both the investors, the director and even the screenwriter all regretted killing the character Chen Yongren.

Because there is a special system in the film industry...the sequel is always better than the prequel, because there is a successful movie as the basis, which means that the character is liked by the audience. When the sequel is made, many viewers will be willing to buy tickets and go to the cinema to see him.

.

For example, this "Infernal Affairs".

Why is the second part, the prequel, so good but only has a box office of 25 million!?

Because the character that the audience likes is dead.

Therefore, some audiences are too lazy to go to the cinema to watch it. Even if it has high ratings and Ni Yongxiao played by Wu Zhenyu is very successful, this part of the audience who likes Chen Yongren still does not go to see it.

Afterwards, it was Wu Zhenyu's superb acting skills and the high ratings of "Infernal Affairs 2" that reduced the audience's dependence on Chen Yongren's character. Only then did the miracle of the third film have a box office 10 million higher than that of the second film.

Even if the third part is not comparable to the second part.

It's that simple.

I just know that Chen Jiahui also knows that if the character of Chen Yongren is left open-ended, the next movie will use him as the male lead, and the box office will even exceed the current one, but to put it ugly... he just floated here from the earth.

It's all just superficial and has no real substance. It's impossible to write a sequel with Chen Yongren as the male lead.

Seeing that Chen Jiahui was reluctant to speak, Director Du asked, "What's wrong? Don't tell me that you don't like the character Chen Yongren and you have to kill him!?"

"No"

Chen Jiahui shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just that I only thought about the prequel, not the sequel."

"Jiahui, with your talent, you can always come up with something if you think about it more. I believe in you, Uncle Du. Once this movie is successful, you will make a sequel. Even if it is a piece of shit, it will still be a box office hit."

Director Du advised.

"I believe this, but I really can't write."

Chen Jiahui spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, if you keep the character of Chen Yongren, I will sell you the rights to the sequel, and you can find someone to write it yourself. Anyway, I can't write it. If I want to write it, I can only write a prequel, not just one."

, I can even write two parts. This is what I had already thought of when I wrote the current "Infernal Affairs". As for the sequel, I'm sorry that I can't do anything about it."

This is what happens to pirates.

It's okay to steal it, but to let him write and conceive the plot with real guns and ammunition is just a joke.

previous life.

Chen Jiahui does not have this ability.

This life.

Chen Jiahui used his brain to recall Chen Jiahui's previous knowledge reserves, and came to the conclusion: "I want to fall in love." It would be no problem to write a restricted version, but to write a sequel to "Infernal Affairs", I'm afraid it would be colored by the writing.

no way.

This is all in my mind.

"My son-in-law..."

Just as Zhou Yu was about to speak, Director Du interrupted him directly and said, "Old Zhou, you know better whether the sequel makes money or the prequel makes money. Once the character Chen Yongren dies, the existence of Proving Infernal Affairs will lose its meaning, which will be very detrimental to the box office."

"I know, but what should I do if my son-in-law can only write prequels and not sequels!?"

Zhou Yu still felt very sorry for his son-in-law.

Especially when he learned that there was a prequel, he was already very happy.

"Jiahui, I believe you can write it. It doesn't matter if you write it slowly, and it doesn't matter if the quality is a little worse. But if you want to make a lot of money, you have to rely on sequels."

Director Du opened his mouth and said.

Chen Jiahui was also helpless.

This is what film workers do. They always talk about art in front of the audience, but in fact they all seem to be obsessed with money. Art... Art is shit. Everyone comes out to make money. When you have money, you can buy some famous paintings and antiques to decorate it.

, that is, an elegant person.

But this is also the most realistic side of most directors.

On the contrary, there are very few directors like Director Ji who want to spread a positive message to the audience through their films.

actually.

It is useless for directors to spread positive energy. The fairness of social systems is often more effective than a 90-minute movie. On the contrary, watching a very positive movie but hearing or seeing unequal things will have a psychological impact on people.

It's extremely serious, and if you don't do it well, you may develop depression.

Du Wanqing has been sitting next to Zhou Yu.

She looked at Chen Jiahui, who was wearing mature makeup, chatting with her father while eating a box lunch. Occasionally, when Chen Jiahui turned over inadvertently, she would smile, which made Chen Jiahui confused.

Watch and watch.

Du Wanqing felt that it would be good if Chen Jiahui, who was in his forties, looked like this.

Mature face.

Even the nasolabial folds at the corners of her eyes seem to be hiding stories.

Chen Jiahui withdrew his gaze from Du Wanqing and fell on Director Du, saying, "No matter how slow I am, I can't write it. Again, if you want to make a sequel, I will sell you the copyright, and then you can find another screenwriter."

Write, not to mention that this movie has not been finished yet. Even if you want to make a sequel, you have to wait until this movie is released and see how much the box office is before making a decision."

Not the same amount of money invested as on Earth.

The investment for this all-star cast of "Infernal Affairs" is quite high, even compared to "Gu Bu Dagang".

As a police film.

Especially when there are not many big scenes and the props and costumes are easy to get, more than 400 million was still invested, mainly in the artist's remuneration.

certainly.

The original version of On Earth was released in 2003 and filmed in 2002.

Different from current prices.

Therefore, the investment is naturally much higher, and there are few artists who cut their own remuneration. However, the investment of more than 400 million is calculated by converting Chen Jiahui's remuneration and script fees into investments.

To put it in layman's terms, the apparent investment is 400 million heads, but in reality it is only over 300 million.

And this is also a common method in the film industry.

If you invest 30 million, use "less than 100 million" to describe it. If you invest 100 million, use "the largest investment in history" as a promotional point. Anyway, you can exaggerate it. There is no most exaggeration, only more exaggeration. It all depends on whose

If you are thick-skinned, no one will be shameless.

"In this case, you think first"

Director Du thought for a moment and said, "But I changed the scene of Chen Yongren's last shot to the head first, and ended it by filming the undercover agent taking out his gun."

"..."

Chen Jiahui rubbed his face.

This is the rhythm of making a sequel to death!

Made.

Why do you look down on the prequels!?

Is Ni Yongxiao so unlovable!?
Chapter completed!
