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

Chapter 251 Consider cost recovery?The pattern is small
Why is "Farewell My Concubine" sold overseas copyrights, instead of being released directly abroad and then getting a share?
This naturally has market considerations.

How can we maximize the benefits?

Wansheng Film and Television is obviously more professional than Zhang Yu's Thirteen Studios.

Zhang Yu didn't ask about this.

The film's greatest mission has been accomplished.

Sign Zhang Hang, and win the prize!
A Palme d'Or trumps everything.

Box office doesn't matter anymore.

Of course, if you can earn a little more money, who would say no?

"Oh, after filming "Farewell My Concubine", what else can I film in the future!"

Zhang Hang said with a sigh.

The corner of Zhang Yu's mouth beside him couldn't help twitching.

"Director Zhang, you have the potential of Versailles!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but say.

What does Zhang Hang mean?
"Farewell My Concubine" has reached such a high level, so no matter what he shoots in the future, I'm afraid it will go downhill.

This is really not a good thing for a director.

If you can't go beyond, then in order to avoid going downhill, there is only one way to go.

do not shoot!

But that's obviously not possible.

It is impossible for Zhang Hang to retire after filming this film!
He is in good health, and he will be fine for another ten years.

"It's so cold at high places!" Zhang Hang said, "The higher you stand, the more constraints you will have. I'm afraid you will have a lot of worries when filming in the future."

"You are completely Versailles." Zhang Yu said with a curled lip.

But he couldn't refute it.

Zhang Hang was already among the top domestic directors, and now he has won the Cannes Palme d'Or, which is almost unmatched in the country.

He was indeed a bit overwhelmed.

"Hey, I have to be cautious when I shoot anything in the future, otherwise I don't know what the media will say." Zhang Hang looked at Zhang Yu and said, "It's hard to find a good script!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu somewhat understood that Zhang Hang didn't come to him to lament that the high place was too cold.

"Your "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is pretty good, why don't you give it to me?" Zhang Hang continued.

"Director Zhang, my movie is about to start." Zhang Yu pouted and said, "Are you going to pick peaches?"

Zhang Hang really wants to pick peaches?
He can't pick it up either!

Who picked Zhang Yu's peaches?

Zhang Hang may be interested in this movie, but he said it in a joke.

This is still very familiar to the two.Otherwise, he wouldn't be joking like this.

Zhang Yu naturally knew it too.

Zhang Hang didn't want his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but to lay the groundwork for the following words.

"Then do you have any good scripts?" Zhang Hang continued.

Zhang Yu's creative talent in scripts is obvious to all.

And it doesn't make sense at all.

Ordinary screenwriters write a good script, which takes time and effort, racks their brains, and even exhausts their spiritual energy, but when it comes to Zhang Yu, it is as easy as drinking water.

And also good at various genres.

Creative inspiration is endless.

"Director Zhang, "Farewell My Concubine" hasn't been released yet?" Zhang Yu said, "Aren't you going to take a good rest? Are you trying to win the title of one of the top ten model workers in the film and television industry?"

"Do you have a script?" Seeing Zhang Yu's reaction, Zhang Hang laughed immediately.

He just tried it out just now, but he didn't expect it to exist.

Good scripts are hard to find, so naturally you cast your nets everywhere, and you can catch them wherever you can.

Zhang Hang probably didn't expect that he actually caught it.

Well, there is a chance to catch it.

"Write it if you want!" Zhang Yu said, "It's just a script, isn't it easy?"

"You are the real Versailles." Zhang Hang shook his head and said, "Then when will you have time to write another one for me? Well, I'm getting older, so I don't know how many more I can make. Is it possible to make one more? Let's have one!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

Feelings, if you miss one film, it will be my sin, Zhang Shisan!

People, can't be so shameless!

The promotion of "Farewell My Concubine" was in full swing, and the momentum even overwhelmed "Wolf Warrior 2".

After all, it was released first.

However, although the momentum is great, the publicity fee is not much.

As a screenwriter, producer, and investor, Zhang Yu naturally had to spare some time to participate in the promotion.

June [-]th, night.

"Farewell My Concubine" premiere, Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue attended.

In addition, many stars under Wansheng Film and Television also came.

Many other stars in the circle also came to join in.

Li Hua and Zhan Zi also came.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is about to start.

They have already returned to China, and they are still very interested in the film written by Zhang Yu and directed by Zhang Hang.

There are many people in the circle who are interested in this movie.

They all want to see why this film won the Cannes Palme d'Or.

This is not the first time Zhang Yu watched it.

Watching it again, some clips are still inexplicably shocking.

It's just that the focus is different.

The overall narrative of this film is very smooth, the rhythm is just right, and it firmly grasps the audience's attention.

But this time, Zhang Yu focused on the characters inside.

Cheng Dieyi will always be the Cheng Dieyi who loves Duan Xiaolou silently, but he can't be the Concubine Yu who is loved by the overlord in reality.

It is already deeply in love to the bottom of my heart, how can I get away from it in reality?
Duan Xiaolou said twice that he was crazy, he was not crazy, he didn't treat tricks as reality, but from the beginning to the end, he regarded this as the result of his dreams, but reality didn't allow it.

Duan Xiaolou's moral high ground does not allow it.

When Cheng Dieyi played the role of Concubine Yu, he reached the level of selflessness of "you can't live if you are not crazy". Coupled with Cheng Dieyi's strange experience when he was a child, Cheng Dieyi really sank into his "drama dream".

In fact, Cheng Dieyi lived a very real life.

In the end, Cheng Dieyi felt disappointed in his lifelong pursuit of art, and committed suicide on stage while rehearsing with Duan Xiaolou.

And what about Duan Xiaolou?
As obsessed with Peking Opera as Cheng Dieyi, Cheng Dieyi's partner when singing Peking Opera.

He looks strong on the surface, but is actually very weak on the inside.He said he wanted to be patriotic and not sing for the Japanese, but after he was arrested, it was his younger brother Cheng Dieyi who sacrificed himself to rescue him.

In the end, in order to live with the crowd, he not only denied his life's career, but also betrayed and exposed his wife and junior brother Cheng Dieyi.

Is this person annoying?

Duan Xiaolou is a person who clearly distinguishes life from dreams.

He was brave and heroic in his youth, but was gradually consumed by society and time in his custom life.As he himself said: 'The acting is crazy.

But living is also crazy, how do we live in this crowd of mortals?
His story is a story of betrayal, first he betrayed his tragic ideal, and later he betrayed his wife and Cheng Dieyi.

Duan Xiaolou may be the only ordinary person in the film.

In other words, he is the only ordinary man in it. He has his desires and weaknesses, as well as his strength and backbone. He is the one who is closest to ourselves and the one who is most like our true self.

The other people in the film all have their own extraordinary side and their own side that is at ease in the world, but Duan Xiaolou can only be a mediocre self.

Being ordinary is not his fault, all of us can only be Duan Xiaolou.

And a man like Xiaolou is probably the real man.

And what about Juxian?

Juxian is a loving and righteous woman. As soon as she appears on the stage, her righteous and straightforward character is very eye-catching.

Qi Qi Ai Ai's image is quite different from the flattery of ordinary brothel girls.

She was able to decisively take out all her belongings, even took off her shoes, and asked the old bustard to redeem herself, but she forced the old bustard to have nothing at all.

Then I found Duan Xiaolou to perform a forced marriage, which was smooth and smooth, not pretentious or artificial, and Duan Xiaolou was settled with just a few words.

After Duan Xiaolou was arrested by the Japanese, he found Die Yi and said that he was willing to go back to the brothel and let Die Yi save people. After that, he married Duan Xiaolou and continued to live.

Because she loves Duan Xiaolou deeply, love is so domineering.He is ruthless in taking advantage of his rivals in love.

After Dieyi was arrested by the national government, she took the sword to go to Yuan Siye to save people, but she also forced Yuan Siye to testify in court with a few words.

This character is very layered.

In the end, because of Duan Xiaolou's sentence "I don't love", her love is gone, and her heart is dead.

Chrysanthemum Immortal is not living in her own drama, she is single-minded in love.

The success of this drama is not unrelated to the success of these three people.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was applause everywhere, and Zhang Yu realized that the film had already finished broadcasting.

He then laughed dumbfoundedly.

Before, he dismissed such films, but now he is more and more fascinated.

Directors seem to like literary and artistic things.

Especially domestic directors.

After the premiere, the word-of-mouth of the film is naturally excellent.

All the major media praised it, but from different angles.

And MovieNet's rating was as high as [-], making it the highest rated movie.

Applause, as for whether it will be popular, it will take time.

On the first day of the film, nearly [-] million box office won the single-day box office champion.

Although it won the single-day box office champion on the second day, the box office dropped a lot.

Online estimates for the film were less than a billion.

However, that has exceeded the expectations of Zhang Yu and others.

From the start, they had no ambitions for the film at the box office.

A literary film can get such a high box office, which has already doubled the record several times.

When "Farewell My Concubine" was released, Zhang Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

His attention was all occupied by his new film.

A few days later, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was launched.

A lot of media reporters came.

One is because the movie has already attracted much attention.

Whether it's Zhang Shisan's follow-up to "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", or an appointment with Feng Yongqing for the Golden Dragon Award.

The popularity of this film is astonishing.

What's more, "Farewell My Concubine" is an unavoidable topic during this period.

And Zhang Yu, as the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine", naturally became a person who cannot be avoided in this film.

He's straight on topic.

"Director Zhang, it is said that the investment of this film is [-]-[-] million, and the highest box office of a martial arts film is only [-] million." The reporter asked Zhang Yu, and said, "Have you considered how to recover the cost?"

"I haven't thought about it." Zhang Yu said, "I'm making a movie, and I don't think about it."

What about coaxing ghosts?
Who makes a movie without considering whether the cost can be recovered?

What's more, the movie you make is itself the biggest investor.

Are you rich?

Well, you Zhang Shisan is indeed rich, and you are self-made, but it's not from the wind, right?

That's not how money is spent!

What's more, you, Zhang Shisan, invested in screenwriting and made a movie, which one didn't make a lot of money.

If you haven't thought about it, how could it be possible that the box office of every participating movie is so high.

Coincidence is not so coincidental.

Open your eyes and talk nonsense!

Do you take us for fools?
"Director Zhang's film is going for the Golden Dragon Award, so why don't you think about the box office?" The reporter asked, "Is it because Director Feng once made irritating words, so you Ning Yuan lost money and yelled?"

"Why do you all think that my film will lose money?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "I said I didn't consider how to recover the cost, that's because I only considered how much I could make. Cost recovery? Not that small."

As soon as Zhang Yu's words came out, all the media reporters present were dumbfounded.

I don't think about whether I can recover the cost, that's because I only think about how much I can earn?

Let's see, do people say?
You are amazing, you are amazing.
But the media reporter opened his mouth, but couldn't find any refutation.

Who made all the films that Zhang Yu participated in earn a lot of money?
People were not talking nonsense just now, but the pattern is too big, you don't understand.

"The director thinks that compared with "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", your "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will make more money?"

A reporter asked.

How much did "Tang Bohu Spot Autumn Fragrance" earn?
This is completely calculable.

The cumulative box office is nearly [-] billion.

This is only the domestic box office, and does not include foreign box office and copyright fees.

Of course, foreign box office is not high, but not without.

[-] billion, the producer can get more than [-] million, so there is no way to escape.

And Zhang Yu, as the largest investor, put aside the cost input, etc., it is estimated that there is still [-] to [-] million.

And this film should also be Zhang Yu's most profitable one.

Want to earn more than this video?

Even if the box office reaches [-] billion, I'm afraid it won't work.

Must exceed many.

Is this possible?

A martial arts movie with a box office of over two billion?
What idiots are talking about!
"If you can earn more, that's a good thing." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "However, this film is more for awards."

"Yes!" Zhang Yu said, "I was motivated. I made this movie to prove that whether it is box office or awards, as long as I, Zhang Shisan, want it, I will definitely get it!"

Everyone: .
This is to say, domineering.

However, if you say that you can get what you want, isn't that too full of words?

"What if you don't get it?"

A reporter poured cold water on it and questioned.

Whether it's box office or awards, who dares to say that you can get it if you want it?
Don't say you Zhang Shisan is just a rookie director, even someone like Zhang Hang doesn't have the confidence.

Why are you?

"If you don't get it, you don't get it!" Zhang Yu said with a faint smile, "At least I worked hard!"

Everyone was shocked again.

Your style of painting is changing a little too fast!

At least I tried?

You have even found the excuses for failure and the words of self-comfort in advance!
"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen." Zhang Yu said, "However, I believe that if you don't forget it, there will be echoes."

The media reporters had already obtained the "hot spot" they wanted from Zhang Yu, and then turned their attention to Li Hua.
