Chapter 41 Interview
"Producer Zhang, what do you think about the box office of "Sniping the Phone Booth" breaking through 200 million on its first day in Beijing?"

I don't know what the reporters thought, but after "Sniping the Phone Booth" came out at the box office on the first day, they even went to ask Zhang Beard how he felt.

Big Beard Zhang is staring at the later stage of "Tian Long Ba Bu", waving his hand to indicate that he does not respond to reporters' questions.

"Producer Zhang, you said before that Director Cheng's basic skills are not solid, and no one will watch the movies he made, but now "Sniper Phone Booth" is gaining momentum, does it mean that you..."

Before the reporter finished speaking, Zhang Dazi couldn't take it anymore.

Turning around and staring at the reporter, he said harshly, "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I'm blind and don't know talent?"

"I... I didn't say that." The reporter felt a little embarrassed when he was glared at by the white-haired lion king.

Zhang Jizhong didn't bother too much, and left after glaring at him.

He was indeed amazed by Cheng Yu'an's achievements, but he didn't regret his decision at all.

He is the boss of the "Dragon Babu" crew, there is no doubt about it.

A young assistant director who has just entered the industry dares to change his play. If word of this gets out, what will happen to him in the future.

However, since "Sniper Phone Booth" won the Belgian award, reporters kept coming to him and asking him what he thought of the movie and Cheng Yu'an, who was kicked out of the film by him.

Last night, he secretly went to the cinema by himself to buy some screening tickets.

Although he has been doing TV series, he also has a lot of research on movies.

"Sniper Phone Booth" is a movie that is different from all current domestic films.

In the past few years, many domestic suspense films have come out, but none of them can make the rhythm as good as "Sniper Phone Booth".

And the most commendable thing is that Cheng Yu'an didn't darken the color to create a tense atmosphere.

The whole story takes place in the bustling city streets, with bright and bright colors. This contrast makes the audience have a strong sense of substitution - when I walk on the street, will there be a sniper rifle pointed at me?

"It's not like a domestic film." This is Zhang Jizhong's biggest feeling after watching the movie. "It's a very mature story structure and rhythm, not like a newcomer's work."

He tried to find clues in the credits.

The producer is Hu Keming.

Could it be he did it?
Unlikely, Hou Keming hasn't directed a play for almost 10 years, and it doesn't look like his style.

The main creative staff of "Sniping the Phone Booth" is very simple. Zhang Jizhong thought for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone who could make such a style of film on behalf of him.

Then there is only one answer left, this film was really made by Cheng Yu'an.

……

Except for Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yu'an who had read the script of "Butterfly Effect", no one else in the company knew about this movie.

The two kept suppressing the news, waiting for a suitable time before releasing it.

But Cheng Yu'an was already secretly thinking about actors.

The characters in this movie are also simple.

There are no more than ten people with names and surnames.

Adult actors are easy to find, the key is the three children.There are no useful child stars these days.

Putting the matter of the young actor aside, Cheng Yu'an said to Cheng Lingfeng: "How is Deng Chao's current schedule? This male lead is quite suitable for him."

Cheng Lingfeng shook her head: "Deng Chao is not free now, and has taken on a lot of plays."

Cheng Yu'an remembered that Deng Chao was called "the emperor's professional household" at the beginning of his debut. During that time, he went crazy and took on the role.

"Why did he take on so many plays?"

"You don't know?"

"Know what?" Before Deng Chao tried to match him up, nothing happened.

"Deng Chao's family had an accident, his sister was not in good health, and now she was going around raising money for medical treatment, that's why she went crazy to accept the show." Cheng Lingfeng said.

"I just saw him some time ago, and it's quite normal."

"How can I tell you this kind of thing? I also heard it occasionally. He found me and hoped that I would give him the salary of "Young Kangxi" in advance."

"You gave it?"

"It's actually against the rules to do so, but I still gave it to him, and lent him another 10 in private."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yuan thought of "Young Kangxi" again: "How is "Young Kangxi"?"

Cheng Lingfeng said: "I wanted to start "Young Kangxi" after filming "Young Emperor", but director Liu Heng disagreed, saying that the script would definitely not look good, and the actors also responded that it would be very sad to shoot like this."

Cheng Yu'an nodded. The "Young Kangxi" in the previous life was launched in a hurry, which resulted in insufficient polishing of the script and made a lot of jokes.

Among them is a fatal historical error. In the last episode, Queen Hesheli gave birth to Yinzhen and died of dystocia, but the historical fact is Yinzhen.

"Young Kangxi is not in a hurry. Give director Liu Heng time to polish the script, and we can start filming at the end of the year."

"Liu Heng said before that if "Young Kangxi" is launched in a hurry, he will not direct. I can only appease him and give him half a year to work on the script." Cheng Lingfeng said.

These days, directors are still very professional, especially Liu Heng, an old screenwriter turned director, takes good care of his feathers.

"Okay, just follow the plan." "Young Kangxi" will basically follow the original cast of "Young Emperor", so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Cheng Yu'an asked again: "How was your talk on Wandao?"

Cheng Lingfeng said: "Daewoo really intends to sell the film and television adaptation rights of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Many companies in the mainland are interested in this piece of meat. The biggest competitor is Tang Ren from Shanghai. They have been operating in Wandao for many years and have a certain background. This project is trickier."

"Work hard," Cheng Yu'an said, "You don't know if you don't play games. This game is adapted, as long as it is not a team with cerebral palsy, it will be well shot. Moreover, Xianxia idol drama is still a relatively new type in the mainland, and it is also worthy of us. Put a lot of effort into it. This kind of drama is very flattering."

Cheng Lingfeng will be stationed in Wandao to talk about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from tomorrow, and the company will be handed over to Cheng Yu'an temporarily.

On the other hand, the box office of "Sniper Phone Booth" was released in the first weekend: the Beijing area reported 470 million yuan, and the country received a total of 912 million yuan. Among them, Shanghai contributed the most, contributing a full 300 million box office.

It is expected to hit the box office of 4000 million.

What is this concept?
Let's put it this way, Feng Xiaogang, who is known as the king of Lunar New Year movies, had a box office of 4300 million for his last movie "Big Wrist".This is also Feng Xiaogang's highest-grossing film so far.

And Cheng Yu'an's first movie is expected to hit the box office.

You said "Hero"?
The 2.5 million box office secured by all the efforts of the whole country, Cheng Yu'an asked himself that there is still no such great energy to break this record.

So, a large group of reporters rushed to the remote media.Cheng Lingfeng was not in the company, so Cheng Yu'an received the reporter in person.

"Director Cheng, what do you think of the first weekend box office of "Sniper Phone Booth"?"

"It was a pleasant surprise, and I am very grateful to the audience for their support."

"Director Cheng, what are your expectations for the follow-up box office of "Sniper Phone Booth"?"

"You asked me that, of course I hope the higher the better."

"Director Cheng, have you confirmed when "Lianlian Notebook" will be released?"

"It is basically confirmed that it will be released on the National Day file, and I hope that journalists and friends will promote it more."

"Director Cheng, it is rumored that you have a disagreement with Zhang Jizhong's producer, is it true?"

"No." Of course Cheng Yu'an denied it, "It was my own choice to leave the crew of "Tian Long Ba Bu", because the idea of ​​"Sniping the Phone Booth" had already taken shape at that time, and I was about to start preparing."

There is no need for Cheng Yu'an to offend Zhang Jizhong: "Mr. Zhang Jizhong is a senior I respect very much. I watch every one of his martial arts dramas. Don't provoke our relationship."

"Director Cheng, there are rumors that you won't have a new film this year. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Friends who are familiar with me should know that I went on a trip last month and had enough rest, and a new film is already being planned." Cheng Yu'an felt that it was time to reveal his new film plan.

"Can you tell me about the new film plan?"

"It's a sci-fi movie."

"what!?"

Everyone was shocked.The expansion of domestic films in the field of science fiction has been struggling. Many people, wrongly, almost everyone is not optimistic about domestic science fiction.

"Why did you choose science fiction movies?"

"I don't have any reason, I just want to try it. Oh, by the way, please advertise for us when you report, saying that my sci-fi movie is recruiting actors, and those who are interested can contact us. Well, today's interview will be At this point, after talking so much, you have something to write. Thank you everyone."

　I'm so stuck, I won't watch the next game, and I'll just watch the result tomorrow.Give me a call! !
