Chapter 278 Kill Back to America
Chen Tian is waiting for the news of Donnie Yen coming back. Once Donnie Yen brings it back to a private reconciliation, then Chen Tian has information to turn the current passive situation into a favorable situation.
On July 17, the eleventh day after the official launch of "Rail" on July 7 was also the third day after the crew of "Rail" was suspended from filming.
"How is it?" Yuan Heping immediately asked with concern when he saw Zhen Zidan walking out of Zhou Yi's ward.
He hopes that Donnie Yen can complete the settlement in private, even if it doesn't matter if it costs a little more.
Donnie Yen's face looked ugly, but Yuan Heping knew that such a face showed the better side.
He knew what kind of personality of Donnie Yen was, so it was not easy to make Donnie Yen lower his head and apologize easily.
At this moment, he was probably apologizing because he lowered his head and apologized, so he made Donnie Yen hold his face at this moment.
Yuan Heping waited for Donnie Yen to open his mouth and told him what he wanted to hear.
"He agreed to a private chat to clarify the current situation." Donnie Yen gritted his teeth, his cheeks tense because of anger.
Although I guessed this result, Yuan Heping was relieved to hear the answer.
"Just solve the problem, throw the rest behind your head, and use it as a mirror to remind yourself not to make any more. Now tell Chen Tian to go." Yuan Heping said kindly.
Donnie Yen nodded. Although he lost face, it was still much better than apologizing in public.
"Director Chen, he agreed to settle it privately, but he asked for a mental loss fee of 200,000 yuan, and then there was a nutrition fee of 100,000 yuan." Donnie Yen did not say the final price.
In fact, he agreed to give Zhou Yi 100,000 in private, but he asked Zhou Yi not to tell Chen Tian that he gave the money.
"300,000, this fight is really expensive. Why don't I find someone to hit me?" Chen Tian snorted coldly. He naturally knew that Zhou Yi was offering a price all over the world. If he was in the United States, he would never pay the money, but now he chose the crew to take out the money.
"Just treat the advertising fee for his films in this matter, Zidan, I have some promotional ideas for everyone to have a meeting in an hour, and call your master!"
Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he watched Zhen Zidan leave.
Although 300,000 is a lot, it is only a fraction of the promotional expenses required by the video.
This incident has made "Rail" appear on major media pages, and the media's attention to "Rail" continues.
Now that it has been solved, Chen Tian can also bring out his thoughts.
What Chen Tian wants in "The Raid" is the real fighting feeling of fist to the flesh. What he wants is to make the audience's adrenal glands suddenly secrete.
Blood is undoubtedly one of the methods to stimulate the body's adrenal secretion to accelerate. Chen Tian's blood bag was made based on the Hollywood method in 2015.
The similarity between blood bags and human blood is almost 100%. Even though many blood bags are made nowadays, the gap can still be felt in front of the camera.
The focus is on the realism and bloodyness of "The Raid", which is what Chen Tian came up with when he looked at the Blood Pack.
Similar to the films directed by himself in the past, the audience of "Rail" also has certain restrictions.
And Chen Tian can imagine that although "The Raid" did not swear, the bloody scenes will basically make the film rated R-level after being submitted for review.
R-level videos contain some adult content, including many scenes that are not suitable for children such as **, violence, drug use, and some swear words to change lines.
For people under the age of 17, if they want to enter the theater, they must be accompanied by their parents or guardians before they can enter and watch.
It sounds like there are restrictions on the film that may affect the box office. But in fact, the highest box office of many R-rated films cannot be compared with other films, but they have a fairly fixed audience.
So much so that some later films were deliberately edited into R-level videos after being filmed, in order to attract viewers who like R-level movies to enter the theater.
"Rail" has no swearing lines, no ** and drug scenes, but there are some bloody scenes in the film.
These shots are crucial to Chen Tian at this moment, and Chen Tian needs to use these shots to promote "Raider".
An hour later, the crew of "Raider" reached an unanimous goal.
The final shooting will be restarted tomorrow, and Chen Tian will reshoot some shots, highlighting blood.
For example, the scene of the gun headshot and the hammer headshot at the beginning of the film, Chen Tian planned to reshoot it, focusing on the bloody scenes.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Tian held a press conference at the Hilton Hotel where the crew was staying. Not only were Chinese domestic media and two reporters from the United States who rushed from the other side of the ocean attended.
"Director Chen, the crew's big-name incident is getting more and more serious. Do you have nothing to say?"
"Director Chen, there was news that the staff was beaten and was once in danger of their lives. What would you do with the perpetrator?"
Pixson, a reporter from the Hollywood Reporter who arrived in China, stood up after asking questions in Mandarin one after another: "Justin, American audiences say they want to boycott "The Raid". Do you have anything to respond?"
Walker, a reporter from "Variety Show" who came to China with Pixson, stood up immediately: "Director Justin, do you think "Raider" will become the darkest moment in your directorial career?
In the miracle that every movie you have had a box office of over 100 million in North America, are you feeling stressed this time?"
The reporter's question was positive, which Chen Tian was willing to see.
Sitting on Chen Tian’s left is Zhou Yi, one of the parties involved, and on the right is Donnie Yen.
Chen Tian looked at the reporters in the audience and smiled relaxedly.
"I know you must want to know how bad things are, but I'm really sorry, you were taken advantage of by some media with abnormal ideas." Chen Tian's words calmed down the conference room.
"The media reports are too exaggerated and have no reports based on facts. I think some media friends should improve their professional qualities.
What the people need is the truth rather than the illusion. I am very responsible and say that some reports in the newspaper are completely useless.
Our crew did have some quarrels because of some left-wing opinions, but there was no so-called big shot or taking action."
Chen Tian did not wait for the reporter to ask questions. He looked at the audience, raised his right index finger and showed a confident smile: "You will see an absolute visual impact video. "The Raid" will make all the audiences who love action movies crazy. I believe they will scream willingly.
However, as the director of the film, I kindly remind you to be mentally prepared because you will see the most realistic scenes.
If you choose to give up entering the theater, then I can guarantee that you will regret your decision.”
Chen Tian's words shocked the reporters in the audience, even though many directors have said this.
But Chen Tian never said big talk, and it didn't look like a joke at all. Peterson and Walker wrote it down excitedly, and they were looking forward to the moment when Chen Tian was slapped in the face by their words.
"What we create is the most realistic action movie, and one of the technology in it will innovate the film industry."
After Chen Tian's words finished, the audience was completely quiet.
A technology that revolutionizes the film industry, this sentence detonated the scene like a deep water bomb.
No matter how the reporters in the audience asked questions, Chen Tian refused to talk about any technology.
During the media's crazy follow-up report, while audiences from China and North America were actively discussing on the Internet, "Rail" took two days to complete all the shooting.
Chapter completed!
