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

Chapter 267 Who Still Treats Him as a New Director?
The box office miracle of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is over, but the miracle of this film is far from over.

The biggest purpose of this film is awards.

The Golden Dragon Award must have its name, but what about the Oscars?
Zhang Yu looked forward to it, but didn't care too much.

Whether the film can win an award depends on next year.

And this year he has more important things to do, and that is the new movie.

He won't stop because of such a movie.

No matter how great the glory is, it only belongs to the past, and he has to focus on the future.

Of course, this is the reason why the media reporters asked him why he was preparing for the new film non-stop.

Focus on the future.
Zhang Yu himself thought it was fake when he was taller.

So, why did he move out one film after another?
In addition to making money, it is estimated that some people do not want to waste it.

wasted in the mind.

I, Zhang Shisan, am a dedicated porter.

Of course, compared to "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Zhang Yu feel a greater sense of accomplishment.

After all, the film is very different from the original.

Especially clothing props and so on.

As for "Transformers", let alone.

The background has been changed to domestic.

A few days after the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" celebration banquet, "Transformers" started.

Zhang Yu didn't want to hold any press conference, so he started the machine in a low-key manner.

However, for good luck, the ceremony is essential.

It's just that the attention of this film is so high, and there are too many media reporters who have heard the news, it is difficult not to hold a launch conference.

The male lead, Gao Xun, is a popular little fresh meat.

The heroine Wang Lan is a newcomer who has not yet debuted.

However, the cast of the film is not weak at all.

In addition to Xie Qian and Zhao Chen, the two hottest action stars today, there is also Xu Yun, a first-line woman.

In addition, there are veteran actors like Chen Baoming.

In addition, Liu Bo will also guest star.

However, Liu Bo has not joined the crew yet, and is busy with the promotion of "Night at the Museum".

Such a lineup of supporting roles will undoubtedly give people a sense of stardom.

Isn't Zhang Yu afraid of backfire when he praises newcomers so much?
"Director Zhang, your new film has such a strong cast, why are the male and female protagonists newcomers?"

These words almost didn't mean that he used such a strong lineup to praise the newcomers.

"The male and female protagonists are both eighteen or nineteen-year-old students. Isn't it normal for the actor to be a newcomer?" Zhang Yu said, "However, the male protagonist Gao Xun is not a newcomer. I grew up watching his movies."

Everyone: .
When Gao Xun heard this, he was even more embarrassed.

However, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Zhang Yu's words.

Gao Xun debuted at the age of four.

Ten years ago, Zhang Yu was only in his teens.

There's nothing wrong with him saying that.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see actors aged [-] or [-] in the industry.

When Zhang Yu first chose an actor, he didn't think about it.

It's just that the actors weren't right.

Actor selection, in addition to the role itself, there are many need to consider.

"Director Zhang, your investment in this film is no less than [-] million yuan, but the actors' remuneration only accounts for a small part of it. So where will the big money be spent?"

Among these actors, Xie Qian's salary is undoubtedly the highest.

However, since he is not the starring role this time, the salary must have been reduced.

Besides, the relationship between him and Zhang Yu, even if the remuneration is not a symbolic point, I am afraid it is a friendship price.

In addition, the salary of Xu Yun, Chen Baoming and others is not very high, and they are not the leading roles.

Then the actor's salary will never exceed [-] million.

"This movie involves a lot of special effects, so the investment is bigger." Zhang Yu said.

The most expensive part of "Transformers" is naturally the special effects.

And this movie is still shot in 3D, and the shooting cost is not low.

[-] million is just the minimum budget.

And with Zhang Yu's temperament of striving for perfection, I'm afraid the possibility of overspending is very high.

At the press conference, Zhang Yu was naturally not the only target of the media.

For example, Xie Qian and others were all asked why they took up this drama and acted as a supporting role for a newcomer.

"The movie with the largest investment in Chinese-language movies, as an actor, I naturally want to participate, even if it's just a supporting role!"

"It's not that I don't accept non-lead roles."

"Director Zhang's invitation, how could I refuse?"

There are many answers and they are not the same, but only they themselves know the truth.

The press conference will end soon.

Filming started immediately.

"Transformers" has many locations.

Such as military bases, Zhongnanhai, etc.

However, the filming was the first to shoot the indoor scenes.

Among them, the scenes of Chen Baoming, Xu Yun and others were excellently shot.

"Are you surprised?"

Wang Mei came to visit the class in time, and asked about Chen Baoming with a smile during the break.

The two are old friends.

It was Wang Mei who invited Chen Baoming to Zhang Yu.

"What's the surprise?" Chen Baoming asked suspiciously.

"Thirteen's director level!" Wang Mei said.

When Chen Baoming took over the play, he looked at the script and then the team.

If there is no human relationship with the script of a commercial blockbuster like "Transformers", he may not be able to accept it.

As for the team?

Zhang Yu is young after all.

"Can a film like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" be poorly directed?" Chen Baoming said with a smile, "I'm not at all surprised by this. Why, who else regards him as a new director?"

The film did not shoot a few scenes, but Chen Baoming had a clear perception of Zhang Yu's director level.

Speaking of surprise, Chen Baoming actually still has it.

After all, "Transformers" is not the same as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The genres of the two films are different, and the scale of the scenes is also different.

Zhang Shisan's ability to control the big scene may also be amazing.

Although the big scene has not been filmed yet.

However, Chen Baoming has read the complete script, so he naturally knows that there are many big scenes in the film.

Of course, many scenes were not filmed on site, but in the studio.

Zhang Yu is young, but his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already proved himself.

In today's film and television industry, who would dare to treat him as a new director?

His reputation is probably not worse than that of Zhang Hang and others.

The most important thing is that the box office of his films has always been guaranteed.

"Are you interested in starring in Ning Yuan's new film?" Wang Mei asked.

This is one of the main purposes of her visit to the crew this time.

Inviting in person is considered sincere.

"Ning Yuan?" Chen Baoming froze for a moment, then said, "Thirteen's script? What role?"

"Yeah!" Wang Mei nodded and said, "The villain! There aren't many scenes."

"The villain? There aren't many people looking for me to play the villain." Chen Baoming said, "If you say that, I'm really interested."

"Okay, I'll ask Ning Yuan to post the script later." Wang Mei said.

"Comedy?" Chen Baoming said.

Although not all of Ning Yuan's works are comedies, the most representative and famous ones are comedies.

After he signed with Zhang Shisan, except for the first "Buried Alive", almost all of them were comedies.

"Comedy, action, sports competition." Wang Mei said.

"Sports competition?" Chen Baoming was a little surprised.

Such films are rare in China.

Moreover, none of the films performed well at the box office.

Wansheng Film and Television invested in this kind of film?

But when I thought about it, I was dumbfounded.

The screenwriter is Zhang Shisan and the director is Ning Yuan.

These two cooperated, which time the box office did not explode?

It is not surprising that Wansheng Film and Television participated in the investment.

"Football!" Wang Mei said, "Play football with kung fu."

Chen Baoming:
For some reason, Chen Baoming regretted it.

Although he left room for what he said before, it is still too late to regret it now.

Can.
Why do you feel a little unreliable?

"Isn't it very creative?" Wang Mei said with a smile.

Creative shit!
Once it’s done, that’s creativity.

If the filming is not good, it is a proper bad film element!
Play football with kung fu?

Why don't you work hard enough to dance?

"Thirteen will act as the producer of this film." Wang Mei seemed to see what Chen Baoming was thinking, and continued.

When Chen Baoming heard this, his expression changed a little.

Wang Mei disagreed, but smiled.

It seems that Zhang Shisan's name is more useful than Ning Yuan's name now!

"Should I be named?" Chen Baoming said.

Many of the films produced by Zhang Yu have not even been to the crew a few times.

This is no secret in the circle.

Most of the time you get paid.

"Although he seldom goes to the production team, he gave good advice during the preparation of the film." Wang Mei said, "Otherwise, how could other investors let him take the producer's money."

"Let's read the script first!" Chen Baoming said, "Besides, my play hasn't finished yet!"

He doesn't have many roles in "Transformers", but it will definitely be difficult to wrap up for a while.

Wang Mei smiled and nodded.

Chen Baoming's role in "Transformers" has not yet ended, and "Night at the Museum" is the first to be released in North America.

The film schedule of this film is even higher than that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Although Liu Bo is the lead actor, most of the other actors are Western actors.

Dream Pictures, as one of the investors, is still very powerful in publicity.

Although the actor has no box office appeal.

He is still very optimistic about the market of this film.

In mid-July, North America is not without blockbuster releases.

Globally speaking, summer vacation is a relatively good time.

A week before, a blockbuster movie had been released, but word of mouth didn't seem to be very satisfactory.

After a week, it seems that there is some weakness in the follow-up.

This is undoubtedly a surprise for "Night at the Museum".

The film was released and earned more than [-] million US dollars at the box office on the first day, ranking third on the single-day box office list.

This start is undoubtedly very good.

After all, it is a movie starring a Chinese actor who is not popular in North America.

The cast really doesn't have much box office appeal.

And the reputation of the film seems to be very good.

On the second day of its release, the single-day box office directly exceeded [-] million, and it instantly won the single-day box office champion.

When the news was sent back to China, it naturally caused an uproar.

Have Chinese-language films once again topped the North American single-day box office?

Correct!
From a domestic point of view, this film is a Chinese film.

The leading actor is a Hua Guo actor, the director is a Hua Guo director, and the filming team is also Hua Guo.

Even the investment producer is Huaren Capital.

Isn't this a Huaguo movie?

On the third day, the box office still saw a slight increase.

The film became popular in North America.

It was released in North America for four days, and the cumulative box office exceeded [-] million.

The news spread back to the country, making countless colleagues silent for an instant.

A film with a box office of more than [-] million US dollars in North America was born.

This is probably another film that exploded at the global box office.

When did Chinese movies become so awesome?

But Jiguang Film and Television and Feng Yongqing's mood is not so beautiful.

They feel a rush of pressure, which makes it difficult for them to breathe.

The foreign box office is still the same, what about domestic?

It must not explode.

So wouldn't the films they released on the same day be a big hit?

"Palace Banquet" is coming to an end!
After the Cannes defeat, will it also fail at the box office?

This is definitely something they don't want to see.

Unfortunately, it's too late to withdraw now.

One week after the film was released in North America, it won the box office champion of the next week.

This is also the second Chinese film to win the top box office in North America after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After the film was released in North America, it was also released in other countries and regions.

On the evening of July [-], "Night at the Museum" premiered in China.

Zhang Yu also participated.

He even called it quits early.

Xie Qian, Zhao Chen and others also went together.

The film premiered in Zhonghai, and they rushed back from the film and television city without taking a plane.

Otherwise, Zhang Yu probably would not have participated in the premiere of the film.

"I thought you weren't coming?" Xu Sen saw Zhang Yu and said with a smile.

Xu Sen is naturally happy that the film topped the weekly rankings in North America.

The higher the box office, the more dividends he gets as a director.

No one thinks too much money.

Of course, Xu Sen was happy, not because of this.

At his age, although he doesn't dislike a lot of money, his desire for money is obviously not that great.

He is so happy, I am afraid it is more of a sense of accomplishment.

This time he is also out of the country.

This is something that many Chinese filmmakers dream of.

"I'm not coming, I'm afraid that Director Xu will hold my actors back!" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

This is of course a joke.

"Liu Bo is leaving, can I hold it back?" Xu Sen said with a smile, "However, this film has sold well at the global box office. Have you ever thought about making a sequel? For example, put the background in China."

Put the background in the country?
This is actually very simple, for example, let the protagonist go to a museum in Huaguo with some items in the museum, and then...
"A sequel?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "But I don't have time to write a screenplay. If Director Xu has an idea, why not give it a try?"

Xu Sen nodded.

The copyright of the film is in Zhang Yu's hands, and what he wants is Zhang Yu's words.

These words were actually asked by Wansheng Film and Television and Mengzhi Films.

This is obviously a series aimed at the world film market, how could they be willing to put it on the shelf?

"Then I'll try it first." Xu Sen said with a smile, "You don't have time to write the script, so discuss it and check it out, right?"

Zhang Yu nodded.

Zhang Yu actually had a guess as to why Xu Sen was like this.

When Wang Mei came to visit the crew before, she not only invited Chen Baoming for Ning Yuan, but also asked him about the sequel of this film.

Is there a sequel to the original?

Have!
And not just one.

However, if the first part became popular, it was inevitable to add more Chinese elements to the second part.

Zhang Yu is proficient in screenwriting, if he takes the time to write, it may not be impossible to write.

It's just that he doesn't have that much time.

As for the two sequels to the original.

Zhang Yu was not very interested.

If Xu Sen wants to try it, then try it!

Wansheng Film and Dream Films clearly saw the film's ability to attract money.

Zhang Yu naturally doesn't mind making money with this series.
