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

Chapter 262 Am I Bullying People?

A Chinese-language film has won a weekly box office championship in North America unprecedentedly, and it is also a film that exudes a strong oriental charm.

How can a classic martial arts film do it?

Even if there are no blockbuster movies released in North America this schedule.

If it was a modern action movie, people might not be so surprised, but for a classic martial arts movie, many film and television companies really have some doubts about the North American market.

What kind of movies do fans over there like?

Why are we so hard to please?
But why did Zhang Shisan get their approval for a martial arts film?

why!
Which domestic film and television company has not studied the North American film market, and who makes the North American film market the largest in the world?
In order to cater to the North American market, they have also shot countless films to please North American fans, and even imitated and flattered them cheekily, but almost all of them ushered in disastrous box office failures.

Martial arts films, a type of film that is becoming less and less popular in China, were actually filmed by Zhang Shisan, a new director who had only made one film, and used it to make a splash in North America.

Many filmmakers feel a dull pain in their head, not caused by envy, jealousy and hatred, but because they can't figure it out.

Why is that?
If you want to know, you have to watch the video first!
Unfortunately, this film does not seem to be planned to be released in China.

It hasn't even been revealed when it will be released.

"When will it be released in China? This depends on the market reaction to determine. It needs to be discussed with the company first."

"Why was it released in North America first? Of course it's because of the market!"

"Doesn't the box office in North America prove the correctness of this decision?"

"Waiting for Director Feng's film? You said it, why should I wait for his film, why should I screen it with him?"

"How can another film decide when a film is released?"

"What do you think of Farewell My Concubine losing the Oscar?"

"I was at the scene at the time, of course I saw it with my eyes!"

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth internationally, and domestic fans' expectations for this film have also reached a commanding height.

And within two days of the film's release, the Oscars ceremony was held.

As the screenwriter and producer of "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Yu naturally also participated.

He wasn't there to rub the Oscars red carpet.

He is invited to attend.

Zhang Yu didn't have much interest in the red carpet.

The purpose of his visit was more to promote "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It's just a pity that "Farewell My Concubine" failed to win this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

This is obviously not good news for domestic movie fans.

However, this matter did not cause much topic in the country.

Because of this day, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the single-day box office champion in North America.

Today, the news that "Farewell My Concubine" lost the Oscar has long been silenced by the news that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" swept the North American box office.

The box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" actually exceeded Zhang Yu's expectations.

Breaking through [-] million in four days, not only broke the box office record of a Chinese film in North America, but also broke the highest box office record of a martial arts film.

This is only released in North America, and it has not yet been released in China.

And it's only been out for a few days.

When Zhang Yu brought Zhao Chen and Ye Qingzhi back to China, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had already won the North American weekly box office championship, and the box office also went straight to the [-] million mark.

The film was also screened in Europe and other countries and regions, and the box office received a good reputation, performing miracles one after another.

"how did you do that?"

The news of Zhang Yu's return to China spread throughout the country in an instant.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Wang Mei came.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the similarity of the two companies.

"Who would have thought that a martial arts movie would sweep the box office in North America." Wang Mei said excitedly to herself, "It's incredible."

"Sister Hua, there aren't any decent movies released in Hollywood this time around, which is why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came to the fore." Zhang Yu said, "To put it bluntly, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings."

"Are you still humble?" Wang Mei said, "The box office in North America is almost breaking through [-] million US dollars! And even if the final box office doesn't reach [-] million, I'm afraid it will be about the same."

"The situation in Europe and the United States and other countries and regions is also very good after its release." Wang Mei continued, "This film's global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars, surpassing the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", and has become the Chinese film with the highest cumulative box office in the world. That’s definitely a sure thing.”

Zhang Yu smiled and did not refute this.

This also exceeded his expectations.

However, thinking about it, there seems to be nothing incomprehensible.

The box office of the original version exceeded [-] million. With reference to inflation, commodity prices, etc., if converted to today's box office, I am afraid it really has a billion.

Of course, that doesn't have much reference value.

But judging from the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" today, it can be seen that the foreign box office has a box office of [-] million US dollars.

If there is a domestic box office of more than one billion Chinese dollars, then the cumulative box office can really exceed one billion US dollars.

If this is the case, I am afraid that this film will not break into the top [-] in the global box office list, the top [-] is inevitable, and it may even break into the top [-].

Who dared to imagine this before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

"Who would have imagined that a martial arts film could achieve such box office results in North America." Wang Mei said with a sigh.

However, after she looked at Zhang Yu, she was stunned.

For some reason, she felt that Zhang Yu had imagined it from the beginning.

"My film is for awards."

Seeing Wang Mei looking at him, Zhang Yu said with a smile.

How could he fail to understand Wang Mei's eyes.

When Wang Mei heard this, her pupils shrank.

Yup!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was going for awards from the very beginning, and even made an appointment with Feng Yongqing for the Golden Dragon Award.

What's going on with this box office?
Wang Mei thought about it carefully, and Zhang Yu seemed to be very confident in the box office of this film from the very beginning.

Especially foreign box office.

Think carefully!

This kid is a bit of a monster.

She doesn't think that the Golden Dragon Award is a smoke bomb.

This kid was extremely confident about the film's awards and box office from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, Wang Mei felt a huge wave in her heart.

Think carefully and fear, think carefully and fear.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be released on May [-]st in China?" Wang Mei continued to ask, "Still waiting for Feng Yongqing's movie?"

"May [-]st!" Zhang Yu said, "The domestic box office of this film is probably not too impressive. Taking advantage of the big box office abroad, it will stimulate the domestic box office. The long time between the schedules, fans' curiosity about this film will also fade .”

"If you say this now, no one will believe it." Wang Mei looked at Zhang Yu and said, "There are people on the Internet who say that your film's domestic box office will surpass "Wolf Warrior 2"!"

The foreign box office is so amazing, don't domestic movie fans support it?

If it is like other films, it incorporates Western elements to please foreign fans.

This is understandable.

After all, it is reasonable to please foreign fans, but domestic fans will not buy it.

But Zhang Yu's film is a martial arts film!

How do martial arts films incorporate Western elements?

Judging from the reports of foreign media, this film shows the culture of Huaguo.

Why foreign fans like it, they can't figure it out.

But domestic movie fans wouldn't dislike it, would they?

"Exceeding the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2"? What a dream! This movie is different from previous martial arts movies. For domestic movie fans, it has a little less sense of substitution." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "The box office broke one billion. I just wanted to celebrate."

Wang Mei was thoughtful.

However, with such a strong momentum abroad, even if the domestic box office is poor, how bad can it be?
One billion box office should still be no problem.

What's more, this film has already made a lot of money.

"Feng Yongqing's film will probably be taken to Cannes." Wang Mei continued.

"Then bless him." Zhang Yu said indifferently.

So what if you won the Cannes Award?

What's more, Cannes is so easy to get.

After Wang Mei left, Zhang Yu wandered around the animation department, and then went to follow up on the preparations for "Ip Man".

This film was written and invested by him, and he acted as the producer.

The director is a kung fu film director from Xiangjiang, and the action director is Hong Tianping.

This film can also be regarded as a series of films tailor-made for Zhao Chen by Thirteen Film and Television.

Of course, the premise is that the first film can be successful.

Two days after Zhang Yu returned to China, the Golden Phoenix Awards Ceremony was held.

Zhang Yu attended.

And he also won this year's Golden Phoenix Award for Best Original TV Drama Script with "Langya Bang".

And "Langya Bang" also became the biggest winner of this year's Golden Phoenix Awards.

Hou Liang won the best director with this drama, and the hero Hu Ming reproduced the miracle of Li Binzhi in "Bright Sword", not only won Shidi, but also won the most popular actor and the most popular actor.

Unfortunately, this actor is not a signed artist of Thirteen Film and Television, nor is it a signed artist of Wansheng Film and Television.

Casting starts from the character itself.

If they couldn't find a suitable artist, they naturally chose from other agencies.

However, this does not make a wedding dress for others.

Resource exchange is indispensable.

"Langya Bang" was the drama with the highest ratings and the best reputation last year. It won many awards, so there is no controversy.

Deserved.

"Director Zhang, once again won the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Screenplay, how do you feel about it? Have you ever thought about when you will make a TV series and win a Golden Phoenix Award for Best Director?"

"I still prefer movies." Zhang Yu said, shaking his head.

He's really not interested in making TV shows.

If he really went to film a TV series, I don't know what the media will say.

Perhaps, Jiang Lang's pot of exhaustion is afraid that he will not be able to escape.

"'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is a huge hit abroad, and it has sparked a wave of martial arts in China." The reporter then asked, "Is this why you strongly advocated that the film be released abroad first?"

"The film was released abroad first, and then it became popular. Don't reverse the order." Zhang Yu said, "Of course, I am really optimistic about the box office of the film abroad."

"Why? For a martial arts film, the domestic film market is still unfavorable. Why are you optimistic about the foreign market?"

This may be everyone's doubts.

Zhang Yu invested [-] to [-] million yuan to shoot a martial arts film, and almost everyone was waiting to see the joke.

It turned out to be a joke.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still showing miracles abroad.

The North American box office may continue to be the weekly box office champion.

For this reason, I do not know how many big Vs in China have deleted related Weibo.

"I made this film for the overseas box office!" Zhang Yu said, "Otherwise, why would I invite two international stars, Li Hua and Zhan Zi, to star in?"

"Director Zhang, isn't your film going for the Golden Dragon Award? You're even making an appointment with director Feng Yongqing for the Golden Dragon Award!"

a reporter asked.

Zhang Yuna's answer was simply nonsense.

You go to the foreign box office, and the foreign box office sells well?

Do whatever you want?

Ok!

You did it, you are awesome.

You are successful now, so whatever you say is right.

"Does this matter?" Zhang Yu said, "Who said that if the overseas box office is good, you can't compete for the Golden Dragon Award?"

"Director Zhang means that for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", you planned to enter the international market while competing for the Golden Dragon Award from the very beginning? Can you tell us about the source of your confidence?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.

If so, this is a bit scary!
"It's just an attempt. I didn't expect to succeed by accident." Zhang Yu said with a smile. What you have gained, then the bull can continue to blow, and it will blow big!"

Reporters:
Bragging after success?Is that still bragging?
You are showing off, not bragging.

It succeeded by accident, so how do other filmmakers deal with themselves?
"Director Zhang, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released overseas one after another. When will it be released in China? Some people say that you have to wait for the movie directed by Feng Yongqing. Is it true or not?"

"Why am I waiting for his movie?" Zhang Yu said, "I made an appointment with him for the Golden Dragon Awards, not the schedule. How about you tell him and see you at the next movie market?"

嚯.
This is a challenge to Feng Yongqing!

Comparing the awards this time is not enough, I am ready to fight for the box office of the next movie!
The award was initiated by Feng Yongqing.

It seems reasonable for Zhang Yu to provoke the box office war.

As for the box office, Feng Yongqing seemed to have never won in front of Zhang Yu.

"As for when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released in China?" Zhang Yu continued, "If there are no accidents, I will meet you all at May [-]st."

"Director Zhang, are you challenging Director Feng Yongqing?" A reporter hurriedly asked, "Do you want to compete with him in the next movie?"

As for when the film will be released, where is Zhang Yu provoking Feng Yongqing again?

"Am I a bully?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "After all, my next movie is a big investment."

bully?
Is this appropriate?

Zhang Yu is just a rookie director.

Feng Yongqing has been famous for many years.

If other people say so, it may give people a feeling of brazenness.

However, no one thought it was inappropriate for Zhang Yu to say this.

In addition to what Zhang Yu said later, it will be even more problematic.

The investment in Zhang Yu's new film is no less than [-] million.

Can Feng Yongqing get such a big investment?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.

The investment cost is disproportionate, and then competing with others for the box office seems to be a bit of a bully.
