Chapter 557

Further elevated his status and influence within the circle.

But Deng Chao was in too much misery.

His film "Huaxia Table Tennis" made investors lose even their underwear.

It was simply like a nightmare.

After all, others routinely achieve five billion, or two to three billion in box office.

When it came to him, it was only over one hundred million.

Although this is related to the theme and script content.

But this also proves from the side.

Deng Chao's ability to carry the box office is indeed not as good as these brothers.

This made him feel deeply hurt.

Some time ago.

Relying on Su Chen's film "Burning in the Sun", he won the Best Actor award, enjoying boundless glory.

But "Huaxia Table Tennis" once again knocked him straight into the abyss.

"Seeing you all chat so lively, I dare not speak."

"My movie's box office is too low."

Su Chen comforted him: "This has nothing to do with Brother Chao; it's just that everyone has grown tired of this kind of main melody film."

"Even if one must shoot a main melody film, one must also create variety."

"If it is still the old routine, there will simply be no audience to buy in."

"Look at my 'Zhangjinhu', which is also considered a main melody film..."

"But this kind of grand scale, special effects maxed-out war epic, the audience has never seen before."

"That is why it achieved such high box office."

There are many factors that determine whether a movie's box office is high or low.

The director's star power, the actors' box office appeal, the work's theme.

And the quality itself...

Too many, too many.

The theme of "Huaxia Table Tennis" is indeed rotten enough.

But Deng Chao's own box office appeal is also very average.

Not on the same dimension as the other brothers.

Deng Chao began to play the victim.

"Su Chen, look, my movie made investors lose so miserably."

"For the next work, I must go all out to prove myself; I still have to rely on you!"

"If it is not your script, not a movie you personally crafted, it is really hard to achieve a huge explosion."

"Look at what you have on hand; is there any script suitable for me?"

"Let me see it first... no, no need to see. Just notify me to sign and start filming."

Deng Chao trusted Su Chen blindly.

There was absolutely no need to look at the script.

Whatever Su Chen told him to act, he acted.

Hu Ge weakly interjected a sentence.

"Su Chen, look..."

"I also want to make a name for myself in the film circle; do you have any other scripts suitable for me to act in?"

"Or let me act in a play with Brother Chao is also fine."

"After all, you are human too; it is impossible to create scripts infinitely."

"Just put the two of us into one movie."

Su Chen smiled wickedly: "I actually have a movie script named 'Lan Yu'."

"I don't know if you like to shoot it? It is the Lan Yu of the blue universe."

Deng Chao frowned.

"Judging by the name, it seems like an art film?"

"I only want to take on a high-box-office commercial blockbuster; I don't need an art film for now."

Previously, with "Burning in the Sun", Deng Chao won the Best Actor award,

proving his acting skills.

Now he just wants to shoot a movie with an explosive box office.

To wash away the shame brought by "Huaxia Table Tennis".

An art film is obviously not quite suitable.

Hu Ge, however, was very interested.

Because he wants to enter the film circle, he can only shoot art films.

Don't look at how Hu Ge went crazy in the TV drama circle.

He has shot many super blockbusters.

But TV dramas and movies are two completely different fields.

Put Hu Ge into the film circle.

Then he is purely a novice.

Commercial blockbusters, he simply cannot shoot.

Because no one would buy in.

Most of the top commercial film resources in the country.

Are concentrated in the hands of this small group: Wu Jing, Shen Teng, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang.

0.6 Everyone else has no chance.

So, Hu Ge is currently quite interested in art films.

"What is it about?"

Hu Ge rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Su Chen explained: "It's about the love between two men. Got it?"

Hearing this explanation.

Deng Chao and Hu Ge both spat out a mouthful of rice at the same time.

They almost choked to death.

"You're not joking, are you?"

"You want me and Old Hu to shoot this kind of movie?"

"Let's not even talk about winning awards; I estimate it couldn't even be released domestically."

The scale of movies is much larger than that of TV dramas.

Abroad, many ultra-explicit movies can be released normally in theaters.

However, in the country, they would definitely be banned.

"Lan Yu," such a sensitive subject.

Even if it were shot, it could only be released abroad.

In his past life, Hu Dajun and Liu Daye.

After finishing shooting this movie.

Were once rumored to have been in a relationship.

They were so scared they didn't dare meet each other.

Deng Chao and Hu Ge both have wives and children.

How could they shoot this kind of movie?

But they didn't want to directly refuse Su Chen's face.

So their expressions were very conflicted.

Su Chen laughed heartily: "You actually believed me?"

"I do have this script on hand, and it does tell this story."
