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

Chapter 334 Zhang Thirteen: I Never Consider Payback

"Night at the Museum 2" has a very good box office at home and abroad.

As for whether it can surpass the box office of the first film, it is still hard to say.

Still, the film is clearly a success.

With this film, Liu Bo also gained a lot of fame and popularity.

His box-office appeal has apparently grown along with it.

Two consecutive big-selling films, and they both showed amazing acting skills in the films.

Liu Bo immediately became very popular.

And he also proved that appearance is not everything.

"How long are you going to stay this time?"

Yang Ruoxue looked at Zhang Yu and asked.

Zhang Yu stayed at home for a few days, but had to be busy again.

This time I'm not busy with the post-production of "Inception".

If he was busy with post-production, he could go home every day, and Yang Ruoxue would not ask such a question.

"It is estimated that I will stay on the crew for a few days." Zhang Yu said, "Director Lin's ability is unquestionable, but this film has a different meaning, so I will stay on the crew for a few more days, knowing what to expect."

"Ok!"

Yang Ruoxue nodded, but didn't say anything.

"Changjin Lake" started, Zhang Yu, as one of the screenwriters and investors, participated in the press conference is also a reasonable thing.

He also serves as the producer, so it's not surprising that he stayed in the crew for a while.

For other films, maybe he really doesn't mind going home to accompany his wife and children after attending the press conference.

But this film means a lot.

After Zhang Yu was not allowed to move here, he messed up.

What's more, even if it is known that the box office of the original version is astonishing, the risk of the film is not ordinary.

The preparation time for "Changjin Lake" is not short, if it is not waiting for the actors to adjust the schedule, it is estimated that it has already started.

Both Zhao Chen and Hong Minghao participated, but they were still filming Zhang Shisan's "Inception".

However, it is now more fully booted.

Zhang Yu and Lin Zhengxian have cooperated again after the "Wolf Warrior" series, and the investment seems to be amazing.

This film naturally attracted countless media reporters.

Even if this film is a war film.

No one likes this kind of movie, but Zhang Shisan wrote the screenplay, but it makes people look forward to it.

Will he still perform miracles like before?

For films such as martial arts films and kung fu films that have been gradually eliminated by the market, the works written by him can achieve amazing box office.

And sci-fi films, which are considered taboo in Chinese-language films, have also been shot by him and swept the global film market?

War Movies.
Well, this kind of film is really not favored by everyone.

Although sci-fi films are regarded as taboo by Chinese filmmakers, no one wants to touch them.

But such films are still very popular in the international film market.

But war movies are not very popular in the international film market!

Besides, your content in this video is still
The launch conference of "Changjin Lake" was held in the film and television city.

The crew built the scene here, and many scenes were filmed here.

At the launch conference, the creators were all present.

Director Lin Zhengxian, screenwriter and producer Zhang Shisan, starring: Xie Qian, Gao Xun, Zhao Chen.
"Director Zhang, you and Director Lin are working together again. Why not "Wolf Warrior 3" but this "Changjin Lake"? Changjin Lake, the battle of Changjin Lake is undoubtedly unfamiliar to many people." of."

In the media reporter's questioning session, a reporter couldn't wait to ask about the doubts in his heart.

Relatively speaking, shooting "Wolf Warrior 3" is obviously less risky.

After all, with the first two films as the foundation, the market foundation is very solid.

The box office is definitely more secure.

Why not make money when you have money, but take such a risk?
Filming "Changjin Lake"?
I'm afraid the risk is not so great.

"If "Wolf Warrior 3" can't surpass or be comparable to "Wolf Warrior 2", I would rather not make it." Zhang Yu said, "As for why such a movie is made, I just think that this war, this battle, should be remembered by more people."

"You also said that many people have never heard of Changjin Lake, let alone the most difficult and cruel battle in the war." Zhang Yu continued, "Then there is no point in making this movie? I think after this movie is released, more people will know about this war and this battle. Shouldn’t we remember the peace our ancestors gave us with their lives?”

Is that true?
Media reporters have some doubts, but most probably choose to believe.

After all, Zhang Yu had a better choice.

He wrote such a script and invested in it, I am afraid it has exceeded the consideration of the movie itself.

"Director Zhang, it's rumored that the investment in this film is huge. I don't know if it's true or not? Can you disclose the specific investment amount?"

Why ask Zhang Yu instead of director Lin Zhengxian?
That's because Zhang Yu is not only a screenwriter and producer, but also an investor.

He probably knows better than the director how much to invest in the film.

""Changjin Lake" is divided into two parts, and the total budget is no less than [-] billion." Zhang Yu said, "In addition, Director Lin was given a floating amount of [-]-[-] million."

The budget is [-] billion, but no one can tell whether it will exceed the budget.

However, the filming has not yet started, and the direct promise can exceed the budget by [-] to [-] million.

Then the budget of this film is [-] billion.

This.
On average, a movie costs eight or nine billion?

This investment may not be as big as "Transformers" and "Inception", but it is definitely amazing.

With such an investment, few domestic film and television companies would dare to invest.

And it may be difficult for this film to achieve good box office results abroad.

The risk is unimaginable.

"Director Zhang, with such a large investment, how can we guarantee the return? Is this film aimed at the global film market?"

The reporter asked quickly.

With such a high investment, the risk may be even more astonishing.

"This film is aimed at the domestic market." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "As for the foreign market, let it be!"

Random?

This is obviously not optimistic!

Thinking about it, there seems to be no surprise.

If you beat someone up and make it into a movie, you still expect them to support you?

Give me a break.

"As for paying back?" Zhang Yu continued, "I haven't really considered this. However, as long as the film is good enough, I don't think it will lose money anyway."

Have you ever considered whether you can get your money back?

This is a bit like Versailles!

However, Zhang Yu seems qualified to say this.

Which one of the movies he wrote didn't make a lot of money?
But don't even good movies lose money?

Obviously not.

There are bad movies that make money, and good movies that lose money.

And there are many.

But Zhang Shisan "has never lost a single game"!

His control of the market is recognized as the number one in the country.

It seems that Zhang Shisan is still very confident in the box office of this film.

But where does his self-confidence come from?
"Director Zhang, is the investment so large because of the strong cast?"

A reporter asked about it.

Xie Qian, Zhao Chen and others are either top-tier or top-tier in China, and they all have considerable box office appeal, and their salaries have always remained high.

"Salary?" Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Most of them received a symbolic amount, or even no salary at all. The actors' salary accounted for a very low proportion in this film."

Xie Qian didn't take the salary, and directly invested in the stock with the salary to participate in the dividend.

The same is true for Zhao Chen and others.

Although other actors are not like this, they are mostly friendly.

Therefore, the proportion of actors' remuneration is really low.

low enough to be ignored.

After all, the film invested more than one billion yuan.

"Most of the investment in this film is for film production." Zhang Yu said, "I believe Director Lin will give you a grand battle scene."

The scene is big, but also cruel.

Zhang Yu's words also shifted the media's attention to Lin Zhengxian.

However, relatively speaking, media reporters are not very interested in director Lin Zhengxian.

It's not even as great as being interested in Xie Qian, Zhao Chen and others.

After all, Xie Qian, Zhao Chen and others are very popular.

After the press conference, the filming started immediately.

After the relevant news about this film was reported by the media, it still caused a lot of repercussions.

Whether this war film with the largest investment in history will lose money has sparked a huge discussion on the Internet.

And in the end, the party that thought it lost money was born.

Sixty percent thought they would lose money.

Only [-]% think it will make money.

The reason why they will make money is that Zhang Shisan's movies will not lose money.

A very far-fetched reason, but it has left many people in deep trouble.

There are too many fans who blindly believe in the films written by Zhang Shisan.

The remaining [-]% ​​is no loss, no profit, and barely pays back.

Not optimistic, but because of Zhang Shisan's name, I feel that it should be no problem to get back the original.

People in the circle are obviously not optimistic.

He was only asked by media reporters, but he didn't say anything to death.

Zhang Shisan created too many miracles.

The film investment is too big, even if it does not exceed the budget, if the investment is [-] billion, then at least [-] billion box office will be made so as not to lose money.

Then each film reaches at least [-] billion.

Nowadays, there are really not many movies with a box office of more than [-] billion.

Moreover, the two films were filmed at the same time.

It may reduce the cost of shooting, but it will definitely increase the risk.

If the box office of the first film is not satisfactory, then the box office of the second film is likely to avalanche.

Even if the first part does not reach [-] billion, I am afraid it will be extremely risky.

Because there is a high possibility that the second part is lower than the first part.

Can a war movie really hit the box office?

Movie fans are not optimistic, and neither are insiders.

But why are there so many investors in this film?

In addition to Thirteen Film and Television, Wansheng Film and Television, Military Art Center, etc., several film and television companies participated in the investment.

It also includes Cheng Jie's Yaowen Film and Television.

Don't they know that this film is very risky?

Taking chances?

Obviously not!

Rather than saying that they are investing in this movie, it is better to say that they are investing in Zhang Shisan.

Those film and television companies took the opportunity to catch Zhang Shisan's line.

We voted for this film, so do you have the nerve to refuse us to participate in investment in other films?

In addition, I am afraid that the above will give great support to this film.

Perhaps investing in this film will bring convenience in other aspects.

"How about a cameo?"

Lin Zhengxian looked at Zhang Yu with a smile.

His smile is like a wolf grandma looking at a little lamb.

"Which character?" Zhang Yu asked.

He didn't refuse.

How could he fail to see what Lin Zhengxian was up to.

If he plays, it will definitely increase fans' expectations for this film.

After "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Zhang Yu has never played any role, not even a cameo.

At most, he is just a passerby in the background of his movies.

If you don't look carefully, you can't help but recognize him at all.

But if he plays a guest role this time, it will undoubtedly be a surprise for his fans.

After all, since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Yu has gradually shifted from the front stage to the backstage.

This made many fans feel sorry.

"***!" Lin Zhengxian said.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yu nodded and did not refuse.

The original version of that character was a cameo by Ou Hao.

Zhang Yu didn't mind playing such a role.

There are not many roles in this role, and it won't waste much of his time.

However, the role of this role is obviously not filmed for the time being.

After staying in the crew for a few days, Zhang Yu was ready to go back.

"Going back now?" Xie Qian said in surprise, "I thought you would stay for a few more days."

"I miss my daughter." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

When Xie Qian heard it, he didn't know what to say.

Is this guy bragging to me that he has a daughter?

Looking at the paternal love on his face, he obviously couldn't understand.

Who told him he wasn't married yet.

"In addition, I have to follow up on the post-production of "Inception." Zhang Yu said, "After a while, I will come to the crew."

Why don't you just go back and follow up the post-production of "Inception"?
Why his daughter?
You said you miss your wife, I can still understand.

"Why, are you going to come to the crew to accompany us for the festival?" Xie Qian said.

The film will be launched at the end of December, and the Spring Festival will be at the beginning of February, so it is obviously difficult to finish filming.

During the filming period, the Spring Festival will definitely not be a holiday.

The loss is too great.

"People are ugly, but they look beautiful." Zhang Yu said with a curled lip.

He definitely won't go to the crew to celebrate the New Year.

Just kidding, isn't it good to stay at home with your wife and children?
If Zhang Yu had directed this film himself, he might have been on vacation for three days.

What is more important than spending Spring Festival with your family?

"You're hurting morale!" Xie Qian laughed, "As a boss, you should share joys and sorrows!"

Ugly?

Xie Qian's appearance is actually pretty good.

Maybe it can't be compared with those little fresh meats known for their appearance, but it has absolutely nothing to do with "ugliness".

"You don't have a wife or child, so you should feel at ease filming on the set." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Still sharing the joys and sorrows? Are you drinking too much eggs? You see that boss shares the joys and sorrows with the employees? Besides, I'm not your boss yet."

"But I have a girlfriend!" Xie Qian said, "I don't have a wife and children to accompany me when I go home, so I can accompany my parents!"

"Then you can ask Director Lin for leave." Zhang Yu said.

"Oh, let's forget it!" Xie Qian said, "If I ask for leave and go back, my parents will definitely cut me off."

When Zhang Yu heard it, he looked at it suspiciously.

"After the start time was set, I told them about it." Xie Qian said, "My parents are very supportive of me accepting this movie. What are you talking about, is there not enough time for me to spend Chinese New Year with them?"

"Uncle and aunt are not right?" Zhang Yu said.

When Xie Qian heard this, he was immediately speechless.

The words left him speechless.

He really doesn't have much time to spend New Years with his family.

In the actor industry, time is difficult to control, even if you are very popular.
