Chapter 366 “The Expendables 3”, the charm of No. 1 Chen Chengnan.

“The Richest Man in Xihong City”, “Us and Them”, “See You Tomorrow”, “Detective Cases on Tangren Street”, “Never Expected”…

In these works, Chen Cheng just stood on the stage for a while.

He naturally didn’t need to give any instructions.

Compared to these.

Chen Cheng prefers to let them play freely.

As for whether such free play will fail?
It doesn’t really matter.

Maybe it is possible to flop.

But considering the increasingly large domestic market.

As long as the industry continues to innovate, even if some of them fail, some great films may be born accidentally.

Like “Tang Ren Street Detective”.

Who knows.

He could have made a comedy film like “Detective Conan Doyen 1” into a series or even a universe.

even.

This is just the beginning.

In the future, there may be one or even several films that are better than “Tang Ren Street Detective”.

……

We can handle this on the domestic side.

Chen Cheng went to Hollywood.

The previously produced “Transformers 4” has been completed.

At the wrap-up ceremony.

Chen Cheng rewarded all the actors and behind-the-scenes production staff.

“Come on, I’ll toast to everyone.”

Compared with Chen Cheng’s previous entry into Hollywood, it was different.

Before Chen Cheng entered Hollywood, he could only recommend one or two actors.

Such as Li Bingbing at that time.

But even so.

At that time, Li Bingbing also received a small role.

But as Chen Cheng’s status in Hollywood increased.

There are more and more Chinese actors in “Transformers 4”.

Such as director Li An.

There is also the director’s assistant Guo Fan.

This was before Chen Cheng asked Guo Fan to come to Hollywood.

Needless to say, the male lead is naturally Liu Dehua.

Female No. 2 is Li Bingbing, with whom Chen Cheng has worked a lot before.

not only.

The screenwriter of “Transformers 4” is also the Chinese tycoon Wang Jing.

At this time everyone gathered together.

The photographer happened to be making continuous clicks at this time…

This screen appears.

The photographer also sighed at this time.

Looking at this picture.

Those who know will say that this is the wrap party for “Transformers 4”.

If you don’t know, you might think that the filming of some domestic blockbuster has been completed.

But no matter what.

The filming of Transformers 4 went smoothly.

Producer Chen Cheng was very satisfied.

The reason he was satisfied was that Li An directed the Transformers movie very well.

On the other hand, the No. 1 male star, Andy Lau, performed as well as some of Hollywood’s top stars in Transformers 4.

even.

Looking at the performance of the No. 1 male actor Liu Dehua in the play, Chen Cheng also thinks.

His charm is more attractive than that of many Hollywood stars.

only.

Liu Dehua just doesn’t know for the time being.

for this.

The producers Paramount and Warner are also very satisfied.

Especially when they saw the edited sample, the producers Paramount and Warner were even more satisfied.

Although this movie has not been released yet.

But judging from the footage, plot, and performances that have been shot so far… they think “Transformers 4” is pretty good.

Moreover, Liu Dehua is the No. 1 male lead, which makes them feel refreshed.

after all.

Like them, they are used to seeing male No. 1s from Europe and America.

It feels great to occasionally see the male No. 1 with a Chinese face.

of course.

This is also due to Chen Cheng’s influence in Hollywood.

Chen Cheng is more than just a top producer in Hollywood.

He is also a top actor.

Let’s not talk about his previous role in “Life of Pi”.

Among the Suicide Squad, Chen Cheng made countless people crazy.

It is also because of the appearance of Chen Cheng.

This has made Hollywood somewhat accustomed to seeing yellow-skinned actors.

This is not.

On the other hand, Chen Cheng is the No. 1 male star in “The Expendables 3”.

As the release date approaches.

The media is extremely concerned about “The Expendables 3” and the leading male role, Chen Cheng.

“Everyone, The Expendables 3 is about to be released. Are you interested in watching this movie?”

“Old buddy, what else do you want to say? The Expendables 3 is highly regarded by countless people in the industry.”

“I am also optimistic. It is said that the plot of The Expendables 3 is completely different from the original one, and Chen Cheng, a former reserve member of the Expendables, has become the No. 1 male lead.”

“I have to say that Stallone did a good job on this point. If Stallone had always regarded himself as the No. 1 male lead, I’m afraid the IP of The Expendables 3 would have been ruined in his hands.”

Speaking of “The Expendables”.

He is truly legendary.

He was created by Hollywood’s top boss Sylvester Stallone.

But Stallone is old after all.

Although it had gained a certain influence before.

available before then.

Many industry insiders predict that if nothing unexpected happens, “The Expendables” may not be able to continue.

He’s like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour.

But this world is full of miracles.

The Expendables not only enjoyed a second spring.

Rush Hour is also a magical performance.

And behind all this.

All because of one person.

That is Chen Cheng.

……

“Chen, how much do you think Transformers 4 will eventually make at the box office?”

Paramount President David made a cup of coffee for Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng took a sip and said, “David, you are too anxious. Transformers 4 has just finished filming and you want me to predict the box office. How would I know?”

David said, “Haha, don’t be modest. Friends in China say that you are the god of box office prediction.”

“It’s all nonsense.”

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, make a prediction.”

“It’s really impossible to predict now. If we want to predict, we have to wait until The Expendables 3 is released.”

“Oh, okay, I almost forgot about your The Expendables 3. This movie is quite exciting.”

“Thank you. David, if you’re free during the premiere, can we go to the cinema together?”

“Ok, I’m looking forward to this movie too.”

David smiled back.

……

“The Expendables 3” can be said to be the biggest blockbuster in recent times.

But everyone is looking forward to “The Expendables 3”.

It’s not that he is a huge IP.

This is because.

In “The Expendables 2”, Chen Cheng made a brief appearance as a supporting character.

Although Chen Cheng was only a reserve member of “The Expendables” at that time.

He is just a minor supporting role.

Even the crew of “The Expendables” didn’t know whether the character of Chen Cheng would appear again in the future.

But when Chen Cheng showed his high IQ acting skills.

The entire Hollywood was instantly captured by Chen Cheng.

At that time, a group of fans continued to appeal on media and social platforms.

We must give Chen Cheng more roles in the next “The Expendables”.

As everyone wishes.

This time, “The Expendables 3” not only added a series of roles for Chen Cheng.

even.

This time, the additions to “The Expendables 3” were beyond everyone’s expectations.

This character was originally just a supporting role.

But in “The Expendables 3”, he became the No. 1 male role.

“I wonder how Chen Cheng will perform in The Expendables 3?”

“I don’t know. I heard the script has been completely rewritten. Industry insiders revealed that it’s very exciting.”

“Tsk tsk, I can’t wait to go to the cinema right now.”

“Me too.”

Hollywood is also star-chasing.

The more unique you are, the more people will pursue you.

Although Chen Cheng did not play many roles.

But each character is so unique.

Such as the character in Life of Pi.

Loki from The Avengers.

In The Expendables 2, Chen, who is extremely intelligent.

but.

For industry insiders.

They know more about Chen Cheng.

But they know.

In “The Expendables 3”, Chen Cheng is not the only male lead.

The reason why the IP of “The Expendables” is what it is today is all because of Chen Cheng.

It can be said.

Chen Cheng is the male lead in “The Expendables 3”. But in fact…

Chen Cheng is already the producer of “The Expendables 3”.

It is also because of Chen Cheng’s production ability.

He can give full play to his potential.

and.

Chen Cheng has perfectly demonstrated his production abilities in Hollywood.

Inception, Life of Pi, Joker, Rush Hour…including the current “The Expendables”.

……

“How much do you think The Expendables will earn on the first day?”

“I don’t know, but it’s probably going to be a good number.”

“Is it just nice?”

The day before the premiere of The Expendables 3.

A group of industry insiders are keeping their eyes on the data of “The Expendables 3”.

Yes.

It’s data.

This data does not mean how much box office “The Expendables 3” has.

Because it hasn’t been released yet.

So he didn’t generate any box office revenue.

The reason why I say data.

This is talking about the booking box office data of “The Expendables 3”.

Although North America has not yet fully counted all the pre-order data for “The Expendables 3”.

But judging from the current booking data.

The booking data of “The Expendables 3” has reached 5000 million US dollars.

“I feel like The Expendables 3 will probably break the North American single-day box office record when it premieres tomorrow.”

“9800 million dollars? More than Harry Potter?”

“Correct.”

“is it possible?”

“It’s possible.”

The data will not be falsified.

There is such booking data.

He is enough to support many predictions.

“No, it’s impossible.”

“I don’t think it’s possible either.”

“If Chen Cheng really breaks the record, then…”

Some in Hollywood choose not to believe it.

Although they know.

This data analysis is very possible.

But they just don’t want to believe it.

……

Time flies.

The second day has arrived.

Stallone, the nominal director and producer of “The Expendables 3”, led a group of Expendables members to attend the premiere ceremony.

Chen Cheng put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Wearing an extremely neat suit.

This suit is what the characters in “The Expendables 3” wear.

When Chen Cheng appeared dressed like this.

It made a lot of fans crazy again.

Especially some female fans.

They rushed onto the stage several times, wanting to have a close contact with Chen Cheng.

Although Chen Cheng did not object.

But for safety reasons.

A group of security personnel still managed to block a series of excited fans.

Ok.

Since it is impossible to have close contact with Chen Cheng.

The fans could only enter the cinema with their movie tickets.

Different from the previous plot.

If the plot of “The Expendables” has always been about accepting missions, and then completing the missions through the heroic efforts of the “Expendables” members.

Then the plot of “The Expendables 3” turned into a mission assigned by the villain to carry out a massive hunt.

Yes.

Originally, “The Expendables” accepted missions again and again.

Although they completed the task time and time again.

But while they were completing their mission, they also caused heavy losses to a series of villains.

finally.

The villains banded together and devised a plan to destroy The Suicide Squad.

As soon as this plan came out.

For an instant.

There were several veteran members in the Suicide Squad who were killed directly.

Until one teammate after another was killed.

The Expendables boss Sylvester Stallone invited Chen Cheng out.

With the blessing of Chen Cheng’s high IQ.

The members of the Suicide Squad stopped the villains’ pursuit time and time again.

But the story doesn’t end there.

After a group of villains failed in their attacks, they received a piece of news.

The key figure here is Chen Cheng.

As long as Chen Cheng is eliminated.

Then, the Suicide Squad will never make any waves again.

At the same time, they also found out.

Although Chen Cheng has a high IQ.

But he was a rather thin young man and a nerd.

He has no offensive power.

even.

A street thug could knock him down.

of course.

In order to protect Chen Cheng, members of the Death Squad also took a series of measures.

pity.

This series of protective measures were ultimately broken by the killer king among the villains.

until.

When the king of killers finally met Chen Cheng.

At this time, there were only the king of killers and Chen Cheng in the camera.

and.

The king of killers was only ten steps away from Chen Cheng.

Even more dangerous is.

The king of killers also pointed a gun at Chen Cheng.

“My grass…”

“Is Chen going to be finished?”

“How can this be possible…”

this moment.

All the moviegoers felt conflicted and stood up.

They really didn’t want to see Chen Cheng die.

Although they know.

Even if Chen Cheng sacrificed himself at this moment, he had saved the death squad.

But the audience knows better.

Without Chen Cheng’s suicide squad, he would have lost his soul.

but……

No one thought of it.

At the critical moment.

The king of killers thought that if he pulled the trigger, Chen Cheng would see God.

In no mood.

Chen Cheng dodged the bullet by dodging his body.

Then he rushed forward suddenly.

An afterimage appeared.

I only heard a hissing sound…

Blood splattered and hit the ceiling.

The king of assassins fell down in shame.

“what……”

“what……”

“God……”

The whole cinema screamed.

They thought.

Chen Cheng fell down.

Unexpectedly.

The one standing at the end was Chen Cheng.

“My eyes are clear.”

“No.”

“It seems that Chen Cheng just killed the killer.”

“Yes.”

“How did he do it? Isn’t he very weak? Doesn’t he know martial arts?”

“He just looks like it. Besides… Chen Cheng never said he doesn’t know Kung Fu.”

“Ok.”

This plot twist isn’t a big deal though.

but.

Put it in “The Expendables 3”.

The posture of Chen Cheng as he made the last slash of the dagger… was simply unforgettable for countless spectators.

At the same time.

People in the industry took another look at the box office revenue for the day.

$ 1.2 billion.

Ok.

There has been a sensation in the media.

The highest box office in North America that day changed from Harry Potter to The Expendables 3.
