What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 184 Boss
Zhang Yu was just a cameo, even if he didn't attend the launch conference of "The Great Sage", no one would say anything.

However, since Zhang Yu first entered the film and television industry, it is necessary to give people more face.

Face is given to each other.

What's more, if you don't give face to director Jiang Chengbin, you have to give face to Wang Mei!
She was the general producer of that movie.

"My part will be filmed first." Zhang Yu said.

Of course, even if he wasn't the first to film his part, Zhang Yu would probably choose to participate if he was invited.

"Movies based on Journey to the West are not easy to make." Ning Yuan said, "This big IP has many film and television companies eyeing it. This is not the first time it has been put on the big screen."

There are many works about "Journey to the West".

But so far, apart from the successful cases of TV series and animation, there are really no movies.

Take one and be scolded for one.

None have a good reputation.

The problem is that it doesn't matter if it has a bad reputation, it's still a loss.

Fortunately, few people have the idea of ​​​​making this IP nowadays.

"But if it is successful, it will be a series." Zhang Yu said, "So, this kind of movie will not really stop. Director Jiang's "The Great Sage" script is actually not bad. If the special effects are not hip, successful The possibility is not low."

"If it is as you said, then the chance of success is not low." Ning Yuan said, "Wansheng Film and Television is not short of money, and it seems that the largest special effects company in China has also been acquired by it. Moreover, this movie is still The first film led by Wansheng Film and Television."

The technology of domestic special effects companies may not be as good as that of Hollywood.

But for the special effects of oriental myth films like "Journey to the West", no matter how powerful the special effects technology in Hollywood is, I am afraid that the things produced may not be satisfactory.

After all, cultural differences are there.

"How much is the investment in The Great Sage?" Ning Yuan asked curiously.

"It is said to be [-] million, but the exact amount is unknown." Zhang Yu said, "And the salaries of the main actors are not included."

Many movies, investment in external publicity, many are exaggerated.

Whether this is the case in this film, Zhang Yu doesn't know.

"This number should be nothing." Ning Yuan sighed and said, "I don't know when I will be able to direct a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million."

Wansheng Film and Television is backed by Wansheng Group.

But now the real estate is gradually sluggish, but the entertainment industry is getting more and more popular.

It is also well known that Wansheng Group has invested heavily in film and television.

"Then you have to work hard." Zhang Yu said, "If you help me earn a few billion, let alone directing a blockbuster movie that exceeds [-] million, blockbuster movies that exceed [-] billion will not be a problem."

When Ning Yuan heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes.

Movies earn billions?

How much is the cumulative box office?
Definitely far more than tens of billions.

Today in China, Zhang Hang, who has the highest cumulative box office, is only a few billion.

Does he lack investment?
There is never a shortage of Zhang Hang, even if the investment exceeds one billion, it may not be impossible to get it.

It is nothing more than a few film and television companies participating in the investment.

Of course, this is just Ning Yuan's guess.

After all, the highest box office of Chinese-language movies today is only two billion.

With an investment of one billion, if the record is not broken, then overseas markets must perform.

And it's not impossible.

Chinese-language movies may not have many high-grossing movies in North America, but they are still very good in other parts of Asia.

"If this film is successful, if you want to attract more than [-] million investment, it will not be easy?" Zhang Yu said lightly.

Don't talk about it, this movie is a success, and Ning Yuan's investment in the next movie is over [-] million, and Zhang Yu probably won't refuse.

"If it's successful just by recovering the cost, then I still have some confidence." Ning Yuan said, "But if it exceeds the box office of "Buried Alive", then I really don't have much confidence."

What counts as success?

Obviously the latter.

Zhang Yu undoubtedly thought so too.

Even if the investment in "Crazy Stone" is not as good as "Buried Alive".

Surpassing "Buried Alive", Ning Yuan's box office appeal will definitely increase.

If screenwriter Zhang Yu is added, it may be a "golden signature".

"Are you confident?"

Ning Yuan immediately asked another question.

Zhang Yu smiled, but did not answer.

He is not confident either.

"Buried Alive" has a box office of nearly [-] million!
"Crazy Stone" wants to break [-] million?

Zhang Yu really didn't know.

The original investment was several million, and the box office was tens of millions.

But it is obviously impossible to apply this ratio of investment to box office.

Even if it is used, it cannot surpass the box office of "Buried Alive".

This time, the investment in "Crazy Stone" is only [-] million.

Actors are not well paid.

Back to the original, Zhang Yu is still very confident.

The original box office obviously has no reference value.

After all, markets are different.

But it's really hard to say if you want to surpass "Buried Alive".

"If this movie does not lose money, we will make another movie and release it during the Spring Festival." Zhang Yu continued.

"Then you prepare the script." Ning Yuan said with a smile.

He filmed two scripts by Zhang Yu, and he still has great trust in Zhang Yu's screenwriting talent.

Zhang Yu nodded.

He has learned that there is no Guy Ritchie in this world, and there is no movie like "Two Bars and Smoking Barrels".

Therefore, "Crazy Stone" can be regarded as the first of its kind.

Zhang Yu is not confident whether he can break the box office of "Buried Alive".

However, I think the box office will not be bad.

Zhang Yu didn't stay in the crew for a few days, and then returned to Zhong Hai.

There are many film and television cities in China, the two largest ones are near Yanjing and the other is near Zhonghai.

And the filming location of "The Great Sage" is close to the film and television city in Zhonghai.

The launch conference of the first blockbuster film led by Wansheng Film and Television still attracted many media reporters.

Zhang Yu came to the scene early, and there was still a while before the press conference.

"Director Jiang!"

Zhang Yu greeted with a smile.

Jiang Chengbin, as a leading director in the industry, Zhang Yu naturally knew.

Even did some research before.

Jiang Chengbin was young, only in his forties.

It can be regarded as the young and strong group of directors.

Among the first-line directors, it is estimated that there are not two under the age of [-].

Top directors like Zhang Hang and Xu Sen are basically in their early sixties.

"Thirteen is here!"

Jiang Chengbin responded with a smile.

Even if Wang Mei came forward, Jiang Chengbin never thought that Zhang Yu would take such a role in several scenes.

After all, "Buried Alive" has shown his acting skills and box office appeal.

He can totally handle a blockbuster.

It's just a pity that the male lead of this movie is decided by default, otherwise he really wouldn't mind looking for Zhang Yu.

He is popular and knows kung fu.

Starring Monkey King is full of gimmicks.

"Brother Jack!"

"Brother Jack!"

Just as Jiang Chengbin was about to say something, he saw Cheng Jie coming, and immediately greeted him.

Zhang Yu naturally followed suit.

He and Cheng Jie knew each other naturally.

It was only after Zhang Yu accepted the role of Erlang Shen that Cheng Jie was the leading actor in this movie.

He obviously didn't expect Cheng Jie to take such a role.

He plays Monkey King?
However, the imagination does not seem to be too surprising.

Cheng Jie is gradually transforming, and after several attempts, the results are not satisfactory, or even very bad.

He plays the role of Monkey King, and there are not many scenes showing his true colors.

This role may have a lot of fight scenes, but most of them need to add special effects.

Movement difficulty is limited.

With Cheng Jie's skill, even if he gets older, it's nothing.

Of course, the most important thing is that this role is a test of acting skills.

If the acting skills are recognized, then fans will gradually turn Cheng Jie's drama to literary drama.

It may not be in place in one step, but it is definitely a good start.

Cheng Jie's film style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is obviously not easy to break it.

This is also one of the reasons why his previous attempts failed.

But if Sun Wukong plays well, it is likely to open up a gap in fans' impression of him.

Sun Wukong is a household name.

It is undoubtedly an excellent way to use such a role to break fans' old impression of actors.

Of course, this is just Zhang Yu's personal guess.

Perhaps Cheng Jie also intends to cooperate with Wansheng Film and Television, which holds the largest theater chain in China.

His Yaowen Film and Television is also one of the investors in this movie.

"Director Jiang!" Cheng Jie greeted with a smile, then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Thirteen is here too! Your album is very good, especially the Cantonese version of "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant". My favorite."

"It's ridiculous." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"You, when did you become so humble." Cheng Jie said with a smile, "Where did your confidence that 'your appearance illuminates the entire entertainment circle' go?"

When Zhang Yu heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.

However, he has always been thick-skinned.

"Brother Jie, the quality of a song has nothing to do with my appearance." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "You should be praising my talent, not my appearance."

"Haven't your fans made you realize the reality?" Cheng Jie laughed when he heard it.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

Those fans are not human.

Jiang Chengbin obviously didn't know about this, but looked at Cheng Jie curiously.

Seeing this, Cheng Jie smiled and explained why.

Jiang Chengbin also smiled when he heard it, but looked at Zhang Yu with surprise in his eyes.

Zhang Yu's popularity seems to be higher than he expected!

The more popular Zhang Yu is, the more fans he has, and the greater the benefit to the movie.

"You are not as handsome as my son!" Cheng Jie said with a smile.

Cheng Ming is also on the list, and the ranking is still high.

"Brother Jie, if you use that beauty list as an example, there are only two people in the entire entertainment industry who are more handsome than Yuan Xiang." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

When Cheng Jie heard it, he was speechless.

"You fans!" Cheng Jie said.

He is also on the list, even higher than his son.

The reason for this is obviously not because of his appearance, but because of his popularity.

That list is just for fun.

Many people in the circle joked about the list.

It is especially common in variety shows.

In this way, it can be seen how influential the list is.

Of course, no one cared about the authority of the list.

Zhang Yu was ranked last, but Yuan Xiang was ranked third, so there is such a fart of authority.

And it is said that this list will continue next year.

In addition to the beauty list, there is also the ugliest artist list, the most popular artist list, and the least popular artist list.

Soon, the other actors also arrived.

Cheng Jie, an international superstar, plays Monkey King.

It is estimated that it is inevitable to be questioned.

However, he was able to take the film internationally.

As for whether his version of Monkey King will get the final approval of "Journey to the West Fans", I'm afraid we have to wait until the film is released.

Although Cheng Jie is an action actor, no one denies his acting skills.

It's just that his fighting scenes overshadowed his acting skills.

But he said Sun Wukong.
This undoubtedly brings great risks to this movie.

If the performance is good, there may be unexpected benefits.

If the acting is not good, it is tantamount to a disaster for this movie.

The movie "The Great Sage" mainly focuses on "Havoc in Heaven", and Monkey King is naturally the proper male number one.

The male number two is the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor is played by Chen Baoming.

This person is a proper acting school, a big shot in the circle.

Member of Film Association and Television Arts Association, national first-class actor.
The titles say it all.

As for why Chen Baoming accepted this role?
It is estimated that Wang Mei will come forward.

Wang Mei used to be Chen Baoming's manager.

Chen Baoming became famous back then, and Wang Mei definitely contributed the most.

Although Wang Mei is no longer his manager, the passion is still there.

I have to admit that Wang Mei gets along very well with her artists.

"Teacher Chen!"

Zhang Yu said hello.

"Thirteen?" Chen Baoming said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's a pity that you seem to be at the bottom of the beauty list?"

Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard it.

again!
Boss, you guys are too busy to panic, are you paying attention to this kind of list?

Cheng Jie is like this, and so is Chen Baoming.

Zhang Yu finally understood why the bullshit face value list will not only continue next year, but also make more lists.

Look, this kind of boss is paying attention, which shows how popular he is.

"It's strange why I know?" Seeing Zhang Yu's expression, Chen Baoming didn't understand, and then smiled, "I didn't pay attention, the little girl in my family is your fan, and she nags in front of me every day, so it's hard to know. "

If so, no wonder.

I just said how such an "artist" would pay attention to such a slapstick list.

Too ruined the image.

"Remember to bring me a few autographed photos later, so I can do business when I go back." Chen Baoming continued.

"Ah, oh, no problem." Zhang Yu nodded.

"I watched your "Buried Alive." Chen Baoming said, "It's very good! However, one play can't prove your acting skills."

"Ok!"

Zhang Yu nodded.

Chen Baoming was reminding him.

This is the correct way to open this kind of boss.

Indeed, a play cannot prove acting skills.

Soon, the press conference will begin.

Erlang Shen played by Zhang Yu may be brilliant, but he is not the main character.

However, he is very popular and well-known, and he participated in the opening conference, and his position was closer to the middle.

Sitting in the middle is naturally the director Jiang Chengbin, with Cheng Jie and Chen Baoming sitting on either side.

The cast of this drama is still very luxurious.

If it wasn't for Cheng Jie not taking the film salary, but directly converting the film salary into investment, otherwise, the investment in this film may be more than [-] million.

More than [-] million to be precise.

The [-] million investment did not include Cheng Jie's salary.

"Thirteen, why did you consider making this movie?"

The press conference came to the reporter's question session.

However, although Zhang Yu is very popular and has a lot of topics, the first thing many reporters focus on is Cheng Jie, an international superstar.

Compared with Zhang Yu, it is obviously a lot worse.

However, the reporter did not ask a few questions, and immediately asked him questions.

He should be the third one on stage to be asked by reporters.
