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

Chapter 356 I was bragging at the time
Zhang Yu is proficient in screenwriting now, so it's no problem to adapt the original version into a Chinese movie.

Not to mention practice makes perfect.

Based on the original story, it was adapted into a film that fits the background of today's era.

This is naturally not a problem for Zhang Yu.

Compared with the original "Die Hard", it must have been upgraded.

However, Zhang Yu did not participate in the film much.

There are not many script discussions with Ding Zhi and Cheng Jie.

He knew very well that if the script was given to Cheng Jie, then the film would have a strong Cheng Jie style.

In fact, Zhang Yu also added a lot when adapting the script.

Zhang Yu did not participate in the preparation of the film.

During the filming, Zhang Yu didn't visit the set either.

He also did not serve as a producer on this film.

This is still rare.

The producer of "Die Hard" is Cheng Jie.

After the film was made, he never watched the finished film.

Zhang Yu didn't know what happened to the film.

However, Thirteen Film and Television is the largest investor in this film.

"Participate in the promotion?" Zhang Yu looked at Fang Zhengxian, curled his lips slightly, and said, "Just tell me, I'm very busy, so I can only do my best!"

Cheng Jie hopes that Zhang Yu will cooperate with the publicity.

Zhang Yu's reaction to this was inevitably a little mocking.

Fang Zhengxian naturally knew why Zhang Yu reacted in this way.

From film preparation to filming, Cheng Jie tried to minimize Zhang Yu's influence on the film.

Or maybe he was afraid that Zhang Yu would interfere too much.

His influence is too great.

Cheng Jie wanted to make sure the film was his, not Zhang Yu's.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want to be overwhelmed by Zhang Yu.

As a screenwriter, Zhang Yu overwhelmed the director, as we all know.

Even Zhang Hang couldn't escape.

And what about Cheng Jie?

His films all have a strong personal style.

It is also a well-known thing to overwhelm the director as an actor.

The two cooperated, and Cheng Jie took the lead. Naturally, he didn't want Zhang Yu's traces to be too strong.

But before, he tried his best to avoid Zhang Yu, but now that the film is released, he is eager to let Zhang Yu participate in the promotion.

what is this?
Zhang Yu naturally felt contemptuous, but why didn't he refuse?

After all, Thirteen Film and Television is the largest investor in this film.

The higher the box office of the film, the more Zhang Yu earns.

Although his traces in this film are very low, when did Zhang Yu care about it?

In many of the films he wrote, he actively lowered his own sense of existence, and emphasized the credit of the director and other main creators.

What Zhang Yu was mocking was that Cheng Jie and the others used to treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

For the films he wrote, he usually participates in the discussion and gives some opinions, and rarely intervenes in the filming and production.

"Director Zhang asks again, do you want to have an actor audition for his new movie "Godzilla"?"

"I'll forget it!"

Before Fang Zhengxian finished speaking, Zhang Yu shook his head and refused.

In terms of actor selection, Zhang Hang's vision is still very strong.

There is no need for Zhang Yu to brush his existence.

What's more, they also have a tacit understanding with each other.

If Thirteen Film and Television has suitable actors, then it will be given priority.

In this regard, Wansheng Film and Television will not compete for its artists.

Fang Zhengxian didn't say anything.

Where is Zhang Yuruo going?
Zhang Hang will definitely pay attention to his opinion.

This is good for your own artists.

However, even if Zhang Yu doesn't go, his own artists still have obvious advantages.

If this is still the case, then there is nothing to say.

If your skills are inferior to yours, you should convince others.

Fang Zhengxian will naturally put more emphasis on movies than his artists.

Thirteen Film and Television made a profit, and the commission for one of its employees was only a small part.

Zhang Yu is busy with his own video.

The cast of Zhang Hang's new film is also gradually determined.

Tian Zhitao won the male number one.

The heroine was won by Wansheng Film and Television Zhang Qian.

Thirteen Film and Television did not respond to this.

Wang Lan is not suitable, and Liu Feifei doesn't seem to be very interested in this role, and there seems to be a conflict in the schedule.

As for how Zhang Qian defeated Xu Yun to take this role, Zhang Yu has no interest in exploring.

He will not interfere in the internal affairs of Wansheng Film and Television.

What's more, his personal relationship with Xu Yun is not very good.

Tian Zhitao won the male number one, and the support of the company is naturally indispensable for this.

He won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor last year, so he should indeed devote some resources.

Of course, the most important thing is that his acting skills are recognized by Zhang Hang.

Thirteen Film and Television has signed contracts with not many artists.

Such resources as Hu Yang are also good, and the role of the second male lead in "Pirate" is not low.

Sooner or later, the two of them will be on their own.

Thirteen Film and Television has the resources to support them.

"Is your play finished?" Zhang Yu smiled and said to Xie Qian.

This is somewhat knowingly asking.

If it wasn't for his murderous role in "Transformers 2", how could he come to the company.

As for why, it is self-evident.

"There are not many scenes, and shooting is the priority. Isn't it normal to finish filming now?" Xie Qian said with a smile, "Isn't this just in time for the celebration banquet of "Changjin Lake"?"

"Changjin Lake" was released for more than a month, and the box office exceeded [-] billion.

This is indeed worth celebrating, and by the way, to stimulate the box office.

Xie Qian, as the number one male, naturally had to participate.

"You haven't finished filming your scene, so Director Xu still won't let you go?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Many of the main characters in "Transformers 2" participated in "Changjin Lake".

The male number one Gao Xun played the male number two in "Changjin Lake".

"Then I don't know." Xie Qian said.

Will Xu Sen let it go?

I'm afraid it's really hard to say.

"The celebration banquet is still two days away. I'm afraid you came to Zhonghai so early for something else?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"I have pushed several plays, don't tell me I'm not ready yet?" Xie Qian looked at Zhang Yu and said.

Where Zhang Yu was pretending to be confused, Xie Qian couldn't tell.

"Choose one!"

Zhang Yu smiled, and took out two scripts from the drawer and handed them to Xie Qian.

"Children make choices, I want them all!"

Xie Qian picked up the two scripts and said with a smile before reading them.

选？
Only fools will choose, smart people want them all.

This is Chen Shan's reminder to everyone.

That's what he did in the first place.

Since Zhang Yu gave him these two scripts, they are obviously suitable for him.

"You should see if you are suitable to come." Zhang Yu shook his head.

Zhang Yu didn't respond to Xie Qianquan's request.

Chen Shan made a bad start.

However, it doesn't matter.

Two films, one "Operation Mekong" and one "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"!
Needless to say, the former has not changed much.

And what about the latter?

In fact, there are not many changes, but the hero and heroine are changed to Chinese.

The background is not changed.

After all, it is a killer, so it is obviously inappropriate to put it in the country.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to change the background to Xiangjiang, but then denied it.

That is obviously considered from the market.

The background remains the same, which is good for the film's North American box office.

Then why did "Die Hard" change the background?
This has nothing to do with Cheng Jie's box office appeal abroad.

Abroad, Xie Qian's box office appeal is obviously far worse than that of Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie didn't need to consider the background of the story, but Xie Qian obviously couldn't.

What's more, Zhang Yu intends to combine "Die Hard" and "Rush Hour".

The second part of "Die Hard" incorporates the content of "Rush Hour" and puts the background abroad.

Xie Qian didn't say anything, but flipped through the two scripts.

Of course, he obviously wouldn't look too closely.

This is not the place to study scripts either.

"Is there a choice?"

Zhang Yu didn't bother him, but got busy with his own business.

After some time, Xie Qian put down the two scripts and apparently made a decision.

what decision?
Zhang Yu can actually guess.

"The road has to be taken step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite." Xie Qian said, "Although there are two scripts, there is actually no choice. One of the scripts is clearly aimed at the international film market, and it is obviously not suitable as a director's debut. .”

"You mean you chose "Operation Mekong"?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"No!"

Xie Qian simply denied it.

This made Zhang Yu stunned.

Did you guess wrong?
wrong!

This kid can't play so big as soon as he transforms, right?
Mr. and Mrs. Smith definitely cost a lot more to make.

What's more, Xie Qian may not be able to control this kind of film.

"I didn't choose "Operation Mekong"!" Xie Qian said with a smile, "I chose "Operation Mekong" first!"

When Zhang Yu heard this, he curled his lips.

The meaning of Xie Qian's words is very clear, that is to shoot "Operation Mekong" first, and then "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

He wants both films.

"Let's finish shooting "Operation Mekong" first," Zhang Yu said.

Xie Qian wants to make both movies?
Zhang Yu has no objection to this, but the premise is that you make the first film well.

If the first film is not shot well, then you can star in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with such a big investment, but you will definitely not be allowed to direct it.

After all, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is aimed at the international film market, and the filming is abroad. The investment and production costs are definitely not comparable to "Operation Mekong".

"Then you keep it for me." Xie Qian said with a smile.

Xie Qian naturally knew that if "Operation Mekong" was not filmed well, it would be impossible to continue directing "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

He has no face to continue directing.

You can't make low-cost films well, but you still want to play big productions?

Which investor is willing?
"It seems that you are confident to shoot well!" Zhang Yu nodded with a smile.

"Just be prepared enough." Xie Qian said, "I don't want to be the first director to smash your script."

If "Operation Mekong" is not shot well, he will fail in transitioning to director, and it may be difficult to find another opportunity.

"I'll go back and study the script first. If there's any problem, I'll come to you again."

Xie Qian said, picked up the script and left.

Take not one, but two.

Zhang Yu shook his head and didn't say anything.

The celebration banquet of "Changjin Lake" is still not small.

Many media reporters were present.

Gao Xun did not come to participate.

Xu Sen did not let him go.

This period of time is the key to filming his scenes.

If he leaves the group, the loss is too great.

What's more, the celebration banquet of "Changjin Lake" is the same with or without him.

The momentum was great, which stimulated the box office.

But also limited.

The film obviously has no chance of reaching the top.

Whether it can surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" is hard to say.

The popularity of "Changjin Lake" has gradually declined, and the promotion of "Die Hard" has gradually increased.

Moreover, it is no longer a secret that the second part of "Changjin Lake" is scheduled for the Spring Festival.

Many people can see that "Die Hard" is obviously deliberately avoiding this film.

Based on Cheng Jie's past habits, he will definitely put it in the Spring Festival file.

Regardless of whether it was frightened by the box office of the first part of "Changjin Lake", or because there are many overlapping investors in the two films, it is impossible to compete.

Anyway, there are rumors on the Internet that the release of "Die Hard" on Christmas and New Year's Day is to make way for the second part of "Changjin Lake".

And this is inevitably asked by media reporters.

""Changjin Lake" and "Die Hard" are both works written by me, and Thirteen Film and Television is also its largest investor." Zhang Yu said, "Naturally, the two films will not be released at the same time."

"However, it is inappropriate to say that "Die Hard" gave way to "Changjin Lake"." Zhang Yu said, "The film "Die Hard" is starred by Brother Jie, who is abroad. It has an excellent box office appeal. The film will be released on Christmas and New Year's Day, and there are also foreign market considerations."

Although "Die Hard" is not released simultaneously around the world, the time interval is not long.

Among them, North America was only two days behind.

This schedule may not be the best in China, but in the western market, it is excellent.

Of course, does it mean "give way"?

Have!
But neither Zhang Yu nor Cheng Jie and the others would obviously not tell the media that.

Just know it.

If that's the case, wouldn't it weaken the momentum of "Die Hard".

Momentum, "Die Hard" gave way to the second "Changjin Lake", not because the box office of the first "Changjin Lake" was so strong that it made him fearful.

The most important thing is that "Changjin Lake" is not suitable for release on Christmas and New Year's Day.

The time between the two videos is too short!
Today, "Changjin Lake" has not yet been painted.

Zhang Yu easily resolved this problem, and by the way, he even praised Cheng Jie.

The media reporters didn't ask any more questions.

Although there are rumors on the Internet, the popularity is really not high.

"How much does Director Zhang think "Die Hard" can win at the box office?"

A media reporter asked about Zhang Yu.

Cheng Jie and the others immediately looked at Zhang Yu, full of curiosity and a little bit of anxiety.

"How would I know. I'm not a god." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

"Director Zhang, didn't you predict the box office of "Changjin Lake" accurately? And everyone couldn't believe it at the time." The media reporter was obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Yu's answer and said, "Nowadays, the box office of "Changjin Lake" Hasn’t the box office also verified it?”

"I was bragging at the time. I just wanted to create a topic and promote the movie. I never thought it would come true." Zhang Yu said lightly.

Bragging?
Create a topic to promote the movie?
Didn't expect it to come true?
You think we are fools!

The publicity of "Changjin Lake" is so high, and the box office appeal is already amazing. Do you still need to create such a topic for publicity?

You didn't seem to be bragging at the time, you were completely swearing.

"Director Zhang, why don't you brag again?"

A reporter spoke.

Don't you mean bragging?
Then keep blowing!

"At that time, many people were not optimistic about the box office of "Changjin Lake". If I brag, I can still create a topic." Zhang Yu said, "Now, you have all said it. No matter how big I brag, it has no effect. Ah. It's a thankless task!"

"Director Zhang, you don't have confidence in the box office of "Die Hard", do you?"

A reporter spoke.
