Chapter 251 One completed, one set sail

Michael is dead!

Cheng Yuan is not involved in the music scene. Although he has released two albums for his girlfriend and has received several awards such as Outstanding Lyricist of the Year and Best Producer, Cheng Yuan really does not feel that he is a serious musician.

But in the past few days, he was still blocked by reporters asking, "Michael passed away, what do you want to say?"

"Director Cheng, what do you think of Michael's death?"

Cheng Yu'an could only reply: "I am also a fan of Michael. His death is the biggest loss to the pop music world."

"The undisputed King of Pop."

But in fact, Cheng Yu'an has no time to care about the music industry at all. He has been busy finishing "The Martian" with Qin Ranqiu these days, and he has not slept well at all.

The Weibo post commemorating Michael was posted by his assistant.

Finally on July 10th, the post-production of "The Martian" took 22 months to be completed!

Cheng Yuan and Qin Ranqiu were so excited that their eyes filled with tears!

They endured a lot of hardships on this film. The crew of several hundred people worked hard in Hongya for more than a month on a hot day, and then returned to the capital and stayed in the studio for another two months.

From the project establishment in early 2007 to the completion of the entire production, "The Martian" took a total of more than 30 months!

Cheng Yuan immediately announced the news via Weibo:

""The Martian" is the result of the hard work of more than 300 people on the crew. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since "The Martian" was launched. I'm afraid many people have forgotten that there is such a movie. Now I finally

I am proud to announce that the 22-month post-production of "The Martian" has been completed! I would like to thank the engineers and scientists of the National Space Administration for their continued escort, my dear actors for their selfless dedication, and the Qinghai Province Culture and Tourism Department.

I would like to express my gratitude to our partners in the film department for their enthusiastic assistance, such as China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi, Bona, Guangxian and other partners for their trust. Thank you all!"

The picture provided by Cheng Yu'an is a newly produced promotional poster for "The Martian".

When "The Martian" is finished production, promotion will begin simultaneously.

The finished film will be sent to the General Administration for review the next day - Cheng Yu'an is not worried at all. This film has the participation of the Space Administration, and comrades from the Space Administration will also come to review the film. Their opinions will be the most important at that time.

"I thought about making this film into 3D." Cheng Yu'an was drinking with his teacher.

"But now that the price of 3D equipment has not come down, I made a rough calculation. If "The Martian" is to be made into 3D, it will need at least this amount." Cheng Yu'an spread his palms.

"500 million!"

"Our market hasn't started yet. I really can't recoup the cost of investing 500 million."

"That 300 million cost is too much." Hou Kerming was very worried that "The Martian" would not be able to recover the cost.

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an was a little drunk. "'The Martian' will be released globally in China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States. It shouldn't be difficult to recover the cost. I'm a little worried about the performance of this film in our country."

This means that the global release is guaranteed remotely in advance, and the pressure to repay the capital is much reduced. Otherwise, investors will give Cheng Yuan 300 million to play with?

According to the ratio of cost to box office ratio of 1:3, "The Martian" needs a box office of 900 million to make a profit.

Just rely on the mainland to earn 900 million?

Investors are not stupid!

Cheng Yuan is worried that the audience will not pay for a science fiction-themed film like "The Martian."

At this time, there is a lot of public knowledge.

The Chinese went to Mars? And rescued people from Mars?

This is simply not realistic.

Besides the United States, who else has such strength?

Cheng Yu'an didn't take it to heart at all when some people said this, because he was afraid that someone would organize the rhythm and guide the audience.

Therefore, in the promotion of "The Martian", Yuan Yuan is particularly wary of such remarks.

The conversation is divided into two parts, "The Martian" is launching its early promotion, and on the other side, "Ip Man 2" is about to start filming.

Last year during the Lunar New Year, "Ip Man" beat "Mei Lanfang" and made Yuanyuan export bad. After more than 7 months of polishing the script and crew, the second part was finally announced to be shot under the spotlight.

Cheng Yuan attended the launch conference.

"Ip Man 2" is a brand new story. Ip Man left Foshan and took his wife and children to Hong Kong.

Li Zhao had already received the box lunch in the first part, so in the second part, only Yan Danchen, the mainland star, was retained, and her role as Zhang Yongcheng was really irreplaceable.

However, Huang Xiaoming and Shi Xiaolong participated as supporting characters - Ip Man's apprentices.

Shi Xiaolong's resources have declined drastically since he grew up, so being able to act in "Ip Man 2" is also a good opportunity to show his face.

Cheng Yuan didn't want Xiao Ming to get involved.

He has already played the second male lead in "Painted Skin" like Pang Yong, who has a lot of roles, so taking a small role like Huang Liang is a bit cheap.

But I don’t know what Hua Yi was thinking, forcing him to come in.

Cheng Yuan is not the protagonist of the scene. The selling point of the "Ip Man" series has always been the character.

At the opening ceremony that day, Donnie Yen, as always, "smashed" Wang Sunglasses' delayed version of "Ip Man", and even mocked Wang Sunglasses for following suit: ""Ip Man" is a success, and many people want to borrow our film.

Dian Breeze is filming "Ip Man". We have been involved with him for two years. But in fact, we have now filmed "Ip Man 2" and there is no news from him. If there is pressure, it should be him.

Yeah. As for the role, he can choose whoever he wants to play it. He can choose you (the reporter) to play Mrs. Ye, or find a waiter to play Bruce Lee. This is all their business. Please stop comparing us."

When asked by reporters why he wanted to join "Ip Man", Huang Xiaoming responded this way: "I took on this film just to learn how to fight, because I think it is a good thing for men to know a little kung fu, and men should be stronger.

Because men must use strong arms to protect women.”

As soon as this statement came out, reporters immediately asked: "Do you have a woman who needs to be protected now?"

Huang Xiaoming explained repeatedly: "My parents and family all need my protection!"

So did Ms. Tianbao follow Huang Xiaoming at this time?

"Ip Man 2" pitied Yan Danchen. Zhang Yongcheng was a pregnant woman in the second part. How could Yan Danchen do this?

"Now when I walk on the road, when I see expectant mothers, my eyes will go straight, and I will stare at them blankly, and even forget to walk." She also said that she wears a prosthetic belly at home every day to practice the feeling of being pregnant: "Because there are no pregnant women around me.

As a mother’s friend, fortunately my mother is by my side recently, and she will also tell me what pregnancy should be like.”

As for what I said last year, I would consider joining Bruce Lee.

Director Yip Wei-xin also said: "In the second part, Ip Man begins to recruit disciples in Hong Kong Island. As for whether Bruce Lee will join, I have to ask everyone to go to the theater to verify."

I won’t say anything, just playing and hanging!

But it’s not like I didn’t reveal anything useful. Zhen Zhuzi said: “I have always known that audience friends have certain criticisms of my literary drama, so in the second part I asked the director to add a literary and dramatic part to me. I will

Try your best to act well."

"Brother Hong Jinbao will also perform. He and Ip Man had a very exciting fight before."

Cheng Yuan was asked by a reporter how he saw the box office of "Transformers 2".

In the Mainland, Big Machine exceeded 100 million in 4 days and 200 million in 8 days. By the launch of "Ip Man 2", the total box office had reached 300 million.

Defeating "Titanic" is a sure thing.

Cheng Yu'an said: "Box office records are meant to be broken, and it is normal for "Transformers 2" to break records."

"Is Director Cheng worried about the box office of "The Martian"?"
