Chapter 847 'When Happiness Comes Knocking' Released
There are only a few months left before the Chinese New Year, and the filming of this drama itself is relatively late, so the time is a bit rushed.
However, apart from the relatively slow shooting speed at the beginning, once Cage became familiar with it, the shooting speed really increased, which can be considered a normal progress.
In addition, the filming of this movie is not very difficult. It does not require strong movements or post-production special effects. It is basically just showing your acting skills in front of the camera. For the post-production and filming process, it is relatively simple.
shooting behavior.
If we keep shooting at this speed, there will be no problem in finishing it before the Chinese New Year, and the promotional time will be enough if the trailer comes out first.
"Come on, let's go to the next place!"
As the filming progressed, everyone finally understood what the pain of life is, and also understood the living conditions of some people in the American economic depression.
Chen Mubai is a clear representative figure, and it couldn't be more miserable.
Divorced, facing unemployment, penniless, and no place to live, I can only take my children to the church to grab a seat. If I go late, there will be no seat, so I can only sleep on the street. I have to study during the day and have to get the only one among 20 people.
One spot for admission!
Even though life was already so miserable, he still did not give up, but worked hard with confidence to give his children a beautiful shelter.
The father and son even sneaked into the toilet of the subway station to make a living. Life did not defeat him!
Chen Mubai suffered many hardships and went to the interview wearing paint-stained clothes, but his honesty and wit impressed the interviewer.
However, he once again made a bold decision, just like when he spent all his savings to buy that batch of medical equipment, he made a huge gamble again.
If he loses this time, he may be facing a desperate reality.
He will become an intern, and there will be no salary, and the training period will be 6 months!
However, fortunately, all the hardships came to an end, and God did not continue to embarrass this poor man. Perhaps he was also moved by his efforts and persistence, and he finally ushered in a new life.
"It's the last scene. It will be over after the whole scene is shot. Come on everyone!"
Arriving at the location of the last scene, before officially starting filming, Chen Mubai shouted loudly to everyone.
"yes!"
"An inspiring story!"
"I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. During the filming process, I was moved several times~"
"Me too, I'm very honored to be able to see such a movie. I used to have the most difficult time myself, but compared to the protagonist in this movie, I am still much luckier. At least I have a family who always loves me.
.”
"When I was a child, I heard from my grandparents that the financial bubble exploded and during the economic downturn, a large number of people were laid off and many people starved to death. Those who were able to survive in that era deserve our respect."
When Chen Mubai announced that the movie was about to be completed, everyone was in a very good mood and chatted happily.
These days, many people have cried during the filming process, for Chen Mubai, Cage, and their miserable lives.
Chen Mubai held his child in his arms and blocked the door in the subway toilet and covered his son's ears to let him sleep peacefully. Someone was kicking the door outside, so he could only hold his son tightly and cry alone.
The pressure of life was like a heavy burden that was about to collapse on him, but he gritted his teeth and resisted, even after experiencing an incident such as selling blood to make money.
"So...how many planets are there in total?"
Chen Mubai held Cage's hand, and the two walked on a beautiful street surrounded by beautiful big houses.
"Seven?" Cage thought for a moment and replied.
"Seven?" Chen Mubai smiled and said, "No, it's nine."
"Who is the King of the Jungle?"
"Chimpanzees."
"No, it's a lion."
Cage quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, it's a lion."
"Hey, dad, listen to this sound, dong dong dong~"
"Who?"
The two people's backs just drifted away. They finally passed the test and pressure of life. Chen Mubai bought a villa in a wealthy area, and his and Cage's beautiful life was about to begin.
"Click!"
"very perfect!"
"I announce that "The Pursuit of Happyness" is officially finished!"
When Chen Mubai loudly announced that the film was finished, the entire crew cheered.
"Go back early today and take a rest. Let's all come to the finals banquet tonight. We won't come back until we get drunk!"
"yeah!!!"
"Wow!"
"Chen, you are the best!"
Everyone in the crew was cheering.
Most of the crew in the United States are Americans, so they still prefer drinking. Moreover, the filming time of this movie is not long. Compared with several TV series, this is the first time they have shot a movie with Chen Mubai.
The background of this movie happened to be the United States, and they were deeply touched by many of the scenes in it. At least they liked the ending of the movie, which was very heartwarming.
Chen Mubai looked at the excited crowd and did not control them. After the filming of the movie was completed, it was normal to celebrate happily.
Cage's mother brought Cage to Chen Mubai. Cage's mother said to Chen Mubai with respect, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for taking care of us all the time."
"To be honest, this is the best crew I have ever been on. Everyone is very kind to us. Thank you!"
Chen Mubai smiled and said, "No, this is what I should do."
Cage raised his head at this time, looking a little depressed: "Uncle Chen, will we meet again in the future?"
This is not his first time shooting. Just like shooting an advertisement, once the shooting is over, he may not be able to see those people again in the future.
Thinking of everything he had spent with Chen Mubai these days, and the love and care he had for him, he really liked Chen Mubai from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sad when they were about to say goodbye.
Chen Mubai knelt down, rubbed his hair, and said with a smile: "I will, I promise."
"Really?" Cage's eyes seemed to light up when he heard this, and he smiled in surprise.
He believed Chen Mubai's words because Chen Mubai told him many things and he did them all.
"real."
"Then let's hook up and don't lie to others~"
"good."
Chen Mubai stretched out a hand and clenched it into a fist, leaving only a little finger, and gently hooked Cage's small fingers, and the two were hooked together.
"If you have anything, you can call me. You know my phone number."
Cage nodded his head vigorously: "I will, thank you Uncle Chen, and you have to thank Aunt Tao for me~"
When Tao Yaoyao came to visit the class sometimes, she would play with Cage. She couldn't put it down and she liked this cute boy very much. Cage also liked her very much.
After comforting Cage, Chen Mubai said to her mother: "If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me. If you want Cage to enter this industry, you can consider joining our company. If you have a work, you will have priority in the role rights."
"
"Thank you, I will go find Bruce and find out." Cage's mother thanked him repeatedly.
Chen Mubai had told her about this before, but she was considering it. After all, she didn't know if there would be any pitfalls, but from the interactions these days, Chen Mubai didn't seem like that kind of person.
Now they are working alone and have not signed a contract with any company. If they can join Mubai Entertainment, it will be a guarantee. She is already tempted.
She didn't have time to find out before because Cage was filming. Now that the filming is over, she can go to a lawyer and then go to Mubai Entertainment to learn about the contract-related matters.
When it comes to children, you still have to be careful.
After bidding farewell to Cage and his son, Bruce Lee called.
"At the closing banquet tonight, a reporter wants to interview you. Do you want to accept it?"
"catch."
"Okay, I will make arrangements."
Last time, Chen Mubai did not attend the press conference. This time the filming was completed. I just took this opportunity to answer some questions from reporters. At the same time, I could also take advantage of this time to promote "The Pursuit of Happiness" and provide support for the movie.
Increase traffic and popularity.
At the finals banquet, everyone was very happy and fulfilled Chen Mubai's words not to get drunk and not return.
Chen Mubai accepted interviews from the media during the break.
"This movie has been completed. Isn't it a little too fast? From project establishment to shooting, it only took 3 months. Can the quality be guaranteed?"
Chen Mubai answered the reporter's question with a smile: "It doesn't mean that the production time is long, but the quality of the movie must be excellent. The shooting time of "Infernal Affairs" is less than 2 months, which does not affect it from winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, right?
?”
Reporter: "It was said before that this movie is a biography with a heart-warming theme. It should follow the route of a literary film. Do you want to compete for awards?"
Chen Mubai: "No, I mainly wanted to shoot such a story for everyone to see, so as to give some strength to those who are carrying a heavy load."
Reporter: "As a Chinese, why do you think you can film a story with an American background? Aren't you afraid that they won't pay for it?"
Chen Mubai: "My previous works are not bad in terms of data, ratings, influence, and popularity. I think everyone still likes my works."
"Furthermore, as film and television practitioners, what we have to do is to absorb different cultures and film them for the audience. Until the last moment, no one can say whether the audience will like it or not. Art has no borders, only differences.
The collision and integration of cultures can produce more sparks and produce more excellent works!"
...
Chen Mubai did not attend the last press conference. This time at the closing banquet, Chen Mubai accepted an interview with the media. Everyone prepared a lot of questions and couldn't wait to ask him.
Basically, Chen Mubai answered those questions, including predictions for the movie, psychological expectations of box office reputation...
Chen Mubai's words caused many reporters to quickly take notes and start writing news when they were ready to go back, waiting for the traffic the next day to attract the public.
The movie's release date was informed in advance and will be broadcast on February 14th.
This day is both Valentine's Day and the first day of the Chinese New Year. It is a good day.
However, the reporters were still a little surprised. The movie had just been completed and not even a trailer had been released. How confident was Chen Mubai that it would be broadcast on that day?
If we can't make it in time, won't we have to withdraw it? If a lot of publicity resources are invested in the early stage, but the post-production time is too late for the release, then the loss will be too great.
Of course, although they are very confused, given Chen Mubai's confident attitude, the reporters will still send out the release time. Anyway, whether it can be released in time has nothing to do with them. They only want traffic and topic popularity.
There is no trailer, but the release time has been set in advance. They will promote it vigorously. This is a hot news topic and there will be many people discussing it.
This is also the only movie that Chen Mubai has set up and filmed in the United States, and it is also set in the United States!
Sure enough, as the reporters expected, the news about Chen Mubai's answers in the interview instantly became a hot topic the next day.
Everyone has become very interested in the themes and stories of his films, and their enthusiasm for participating in the topic is very high.
Many people agree that art has no national boundaries and excellent works will emerge from the direct collision of different cultures.
At the very least, many of Chen Mubai's own works are indeed excellent. His Chinese ghost films and horror films are not just outstanding, as they integrate different cultural atmospheres from both sides.
This is the first time that Chen Mubai talked about the new movie in front of the media and answered many people's questions.
After this interview, he began to work on the editing of the film, this time in the United States.
As the new year is approaching, Tao Yaoyao went back first. She finished filming "Prison Break" and started her vacation early. She went back to continue training and will shoot "Resident Evil" after the new year.
Chen Mubai will not go back this year because he has to promote the movie. The movie will be released in the United States and China at the same time. However, because the background is in the United States, the movie is also to consolidate Mubai Entertainment's film market in North America, so it will be
This is the main promotion here.
The trailer was completed very quickly. The appearance of the trailer made everyone a little surprised at Chen Mubai's speed, but considering the speed at which he shot, everyone was able to accept it.
At least the appearance of the trailer indicates that what he said in the previous interview with reporters is correct. He will be able to catch up with the movie's release time, and Mubai Entertainment will go all out to promote the movie.
As soon as the trailer came out, it has already aroused great enthusiasm.
"It seems pretty good?"
"Wow, I saw that Chen Mubai looks pretty good in middle age. His son is so cute~"
"The acting is really good. My eyes were red and I tried not to cry, but the joy in my eyes was very obvious!"
"I think this movie is for awards. With the background of the movie and the trailer, I already know what the situation is like. The United States during that period was really crazy, and many people couldn't stand the hardships of life.
Committed suicide..."
"I watched the trailer of this movie with my parents. I told them some information about the movie, and my parents said it should be pretty good. Things were really hard for them at that time."
The post-editing of the movie is very fast, and the story structure and narrative style of the movie itself are not complicated. It can be edited according to the timeline.
Chen Mubai began to promote in various places, and his "son" Cage also attended many promotional occasions with him. The relationship between the two in front of the public was very good, which surprised everyone.
Cage told a lot of interesting things about filming, and also talked about how tolerant Chen Mubai was to him. He said that he once thought Chen Mubai was his father because he could feel his "fatherly love" while filming.
With the intense publicity, the movie's release date arrived at the same time.
On the 2nd and 14th, "The Pursuit of Happiness" will be released!
