What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

After Yang Shu has experienced so many things, deep down in his heart he doesn't care much about the box office of "Peach" and whether he can win the box office championship of Chinese romance movies again.

For him, the mission of this work is to win awards, and it has been completed so far, which is enough, and then he should quickly turn around and find new fun.

But sometimes I have to act hard and enterprising, so as to conform to everyone's stereotype of a vigorous and promising talent. I can't be old after debuting for a year.

Venice does not allow cars to enter the city. After Luo Xue arrived at Marco Polo International Airport, he had to change transportation twice to reach the Continental Hotel where Yang Shu was.

Usually, it was fine, but during the film festival, the number of tourists increased sharply, and the waterway was blocked. As a result, the road was delayed for more than three hours, and it was only after [-] o'clock in the evening.

After running around for more than 20 hours, she was undoubtedly exhausted. Luo Xue had to take a good rest. Yang Shu didn't bother to talk about work, and invited her to have breakfast with the crew early the next morning.

At this time, it was past [-]:[-] p.m. on the fourth day in China, and the first-day box office results of "Peach" were basically released.

Luo Xue looks too much like Chen Shu. Brother Chao is not only an alumnus of Chen Shu, but also used to be a colleague of the National Theater. Niang Niang and Chen Shu have collaborated in "New Shanghai Beach". When they met in the cafeteria of the Continental Hotel, they couldn't help being amazed. .

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu knew Luo Xue because of dealing with the Fu family in the last life, but they never knew that she was the boss behind Tiange Media, and they didn't know much about Yang Shu's business cooperation with her.

I also recognize her in this life, because I picked up her "The Crowd" on the beach during the Xiamen [-]th Trade Fair last year, and I was deeply impressed.

"Today's tickets are almost sold out. "Peach" should be around 800 million in the end. The result is quite good."

Now that theater ticket sales data can be counted in real time, everyone has known this result a long time ago, but it is still very exciting to be officially announced by the publisher.

"It's a miracle for a literary film like our "Peach" to reach more than 7000 million on the first day, and it's no problem to reach [-] million!"

"It's indeed a miracle. "Lust, Caution" grossed a total of [-] million in mainland China. To be honest, I'm really surprised by this result."

Brother Chao naturally mentioned "Lust, Caution". After all, it was the last Chinese film to win the Venice Golden Lion. The time interval is not too long, so it is the most comparable.

"This is thanks to all of you here," Yang Shu expressed his gratitude calmly and sincerely: "You are the most charismatic film and television artists in China, and even the stars are worth going to the cinema."

The buffet breakfast is very rich, and Yang Shu only took a cup of coffee, an egg and a piece of tiramisu.

Speaking of box office appeal, everyone became humble: "The taste of the audience is unpredictable. "Peach" is first-class in all aspects. It is hard to say which cloud is raining, but it is definitely not counting the stars."

There are quite a few star-studded movies in the market, but those that play a decisive role in the box office are the three big hits, truly excellent works with both word of mouth and box office. Success is a combination of various factors, and it is difficult to emphasize a certain point.

What's more, none of the stars who participated in "Peach" is a movie star, and there are no real movie works, and the appeal is mainly in the TV series.

However, "Lust, Caution" stars Tony Leung, Wang Lihong, Chen Chong, etc. In comparison, its appeal is carefully calculated, and it is more attentive than Yang Shu's all-in-one recruitment of stars.

A few years ago, on the tenth anniversary of Zhang Ailing's death, there was a wave of retro literature and art. Not only were her works republished, but even her traitor boyfriend Hu Lancheng became popular.

Director Li has also always had the desire to shoot three grades, so he took advantage of this trend and set up a project on Lust, Caution.

This is a nostalgic literary and artistic work, and the melancholy male god Tony Leung Chiu-wai to join him caters to the preferences of young literary and artistic youths. Wang Lihong, who is so popular, not only cares about the three places, but also attracts some young audiences.

As for Chen Chong, he can mobilize the old audience from 90 to [-] years, and surround him from the age group.

On the other hand, Yang Shu's casting is more random. He can use whoever he likes or knows. Whether it is suitable or not depends on his own interpretation.

For example, Brother Chao played the honest and honest barber. Although he performed well in the end, it may not be in line with the audience's expectations. When he appeared, he seemed to be teasing.

A true artist is so self-willed. "Peach" won an award, and the box office on the first day was very good. The publisher, the beautiful boss, went to Venice to preside over the global distribution business. Everything looked so beautiful.

Everyone naturally became concerned about Yang Shu's next creative arrangement, and turned the topic to "Warrior".

Everyone talked about this on the day of the award ceremony. At that time, many people believed that Yang Shu had inside information that the market would support movies of this theme, so they all expressed their willingness to join.

Now the situation has changed again. He has become a gold medal director who won an international award. Everyone is concerned about when the project will be approved and the filming will start. The cooperation must be finalized as soon as possible.

Luo Xue was also a little surprised that Yang Shu had changed his track so much: "You really want to make a war film? You are good at portraying human nature. You are a delicate director and you can shoot a lot of themes."

Yang Shu had been questioned by her in her last life, but at that time "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven" was a hit at the box office, and the direction of questioning was different.

"War films can also be shot very delicately, and there are many high-quality ones."

"But the theme of "Warrior" is the main theme, not an anti-war war film. We have not occupied high ground in this regard, and there is no international market."

Luo Xue thinks from the publisher's point of view: "You have won the Venice Golden Lion, and you should consider the international market more in the future, just like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Although some of their films have mediocre domestic box office and reputation, but the international market very popular."

This is true. Winning an international award has opened up the international market to a certain extent. This is not only an honor, but it can also be exchanged for real money. If you can’t show it off, it will be wasted.

So Yang Shu also followed suit: "I don't do multiple-choice questions in this regard, and I will take into account both the domestic and international markets. The preparation and shooting cycle of "Warrior" is relatively long, and it will be completed in the next year, so I will also shoot for the international market in the future." other works."

Luo Xue has always been thankful that Tiange Media is fortunate enough to bind such a promising director, and he is very happy to hear him say this: "Do you have any plans to shoot?"

Everyone was interested in this and looked at the poplar.

However, Yang Shu didn't say much: "I have a few ideas that are not yet mature, and I'm still considering them."

In fact, he knows what to do next, and has been planning and adjusting the future development path.

Next, in addition to preparing for the filming of the famous "Warrior" to set another box office record in the mainland, we also have to fulfill the promise to Tianxian.

But now I can't say that I want to make a movie for Tianxian here, it would be too abrupt.

In fact, after cooperating with Sister Tao in "Peach", Yang Shu has a clearer understanding of reality.

A person's ability has a ceiling, not to mention that acting is very talented. I have to admit that Sister Tao has already touched her own ceiling in acting for more than ten years, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

Of course, "Peach" has her credit for winning the award, but she just played her best acting skills normally, which is remarkable but not amazing.

On the contrary, Liu Man's performance was even more impressive, and was unanimously recognized by the judges.

The situation of Tianxian is actually similar to Sister Tao's. The two debuted at about the same time, and even the same drama was very popular.

However, after becoming famous at a young age, although he still worked hard in his career, he did not make a big leap.

To put it bluntly, none of them are good at acting, they are actually stars.

It is almost foreseeable that even if an award-winning film is written for Tianxian, most of it will repeat the drama of "Peach".

Then why bother, Yang Shu thinks that he is a real person, if he has been busy for a long time and fails to achieve his goal, it will be very boring, and he will never do such a thing.

In fact, the experience of the first celestial being was the best choice after her continuous exploration. After experiencing setbacks in many attempts, she finally gained international fame by starring in "Mulan", and then continued to film costume dramas to enjoy acting work.

Then just shoot "Mulan" directly, and it's useless to do less.

However, a "Mulan" filmed in mainland China may be difficult to compare with Disney's productions. After all, many Mulan works have been filmed in recent years, and they basically have no international influence.

But who will score the points? Yangshu now has the blessing of the Golden Lion Award. If the investment is large enough and the lineup is attractive enough, it is not known whether it will steal the limelight from Disney.

It might be more appropriate to say that Disney has taken the lead.

In the past two years, Disney has continuously released rumors that it will start filming the live-action version of "Mulan", which cannot be completed without the cooperation of Chinese stars.

Yang Shu felt that he had the ability to seize this opportunity, so he had to act first, and then we had to see how Disney would react. Maybe the cooperation was unknown, after all, the other party had a strong distribution channel.

On the way back to the room after breakfast, Jiang Shiyu quietly asked Yang Shu: "Actually, you have already thought about what to shoot next, and you didn't say anything just now, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I'm familiar with your confident eyes, it's not like you're thinking about it at all."

Yang Shu put his arms around her shoulders: "It's really not in vain to hurt you. In fact, I have already thought about what song you will sing next, so I won't tell you yet."
