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

Chapter 391 Zhang Shisan's script is more attractive than a Hollywood invitation

"Operation Mekong" is not a small investment, can it be considered a blockbuster?

I'm afraid it really doesn't count.

After films such as "Transformers", "Inception", and "Jurassic Park" became Chinese-language films, films like "Operation Mekong" with an investment of [-] to [-] million yuan can only be regarded as medium-investment films.

Now in Huaguo, if the investment does not break one billion, you are ashamed to say that yours is a blockbuster.

Breaking [-] million, I'm afraid it can only be regarded as a quasi-blockbuster.

Such as "Die Hard", "National Day", "Night at the Museum" and other films.

"Director Zhang is the screenwriter and producer of this film. If you have a disagreement with the director during filming, whose opinion will prevail?"

A reporter asked.

This question is a bit sharp, and no matter whose opinion Zhang Yu relies on in his answer, there are still pitfalls.

Based on his opinion, what is the significance of Xie Qian as a director?
Is he a director?

I'm afraid Zhang Shisan, the producer, is more like a director.

Then this film can't be directed by Xie Qian.

Maybe there is no bad image about the film, but what about Xie Qian?
But if Xie Qian's opinion is the main point, then how can Zhang Shisan, the producer, guarantee the quality of the film?
Fans obviously recognize Zhang Shisan more.

After all, it is Xie Qian's first time as a director, and his ability has not been recognized by everyone, so it is inevitable that people will question it.

This is not a good thing for the film.

"It's normal to have opinions, whose opinion is the main one in the end, it depends on who persuades who." Zhang Yu said, "If no one can convince anyone, then shoot it to see the effect."

"Xie Qian and I are old friends. We have known each other for many years and understand each other." Zhang Yu continued, "Before the filming of this film, we have discussed it many times and basically reached a consensus. If there are differences during filming , It is estimated that these are some innocuous little problems."

Innocuous small problems, of course, do not have much impact on the quality of the film.

Although Zhang Yu said this, if there were any disagreements, I'm afraid it would still be based on him.

Even Xie Qian would subconsciously respect Zhang Yu's opinion.

Xie Qian is not a deadhead.

He still didn't think he had the right to argue with Zhang Shisan.

He's just a rookie director.

Zhang Shisan gave him face, he can't take it for granted.

In front of Zhang Shisan, he was more of a learning attitude.

Of course, if there are different opinions, he will definitely bring them up for discussion.

In this way, it is more conducive to progress.

Most of the media's questions revolved around Zhang Yu and Xie Qian.

But those questions faintly revealed distrust of Xie Qian's transformation into a director.

An actor transformed into a director, and the works produced, not to mention that there are many bad films, but there are few good ones.

There are only a handful of successful cases of transformation.

Whether it's the media or the public, it's normal to react like this.

If Zhang Shisan hadn't written the screenplay for this film, and he also served as the producer, I'm afraid the doubts would have been even greater.

"I'm sure you'll prove yourself with this film."

After the press conference, Zhang Yu patted Xie Qian on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I believe it too." Xie Qian said with a smile.

He naturally understood why Zhang Yu said this to him.

At the press conference, how could he fail to see the voice of questioning inside and outside the words.

Zhang Shisan was afraid that he would be hit, and he would have emotional problems.

However, he was not hit.

As expected.

Which transformed actor has never been questioned.

Back then, Zhang Shisan encountered even more doubts.

Whether it is a transformed actor who starred in "Buried Alive", or a transformed director who directed "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Zhang Yu has received much more doubts than Xie Qian.

Even if "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is successful, his subsequent films have been greatly questioned when they started shooting.

"When your transition was questioned, what did you think in your heart?" Xie Qian asked curiously, "Have you been doubted by that invisible pressure?"

"A capable person will not be under pressure if he is fully prepared." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Was it installed by him?
"Then when you were questioned, didn't you have any idea?" Xie Qian pouted.

"Yes!" Zhang Yu said.

This time is right!
Will he be like himself, hold a breath in his heart, and want to prove it to all those who doubt it.

You are wrong.

"I was thinking, after the movie is released, when they are slapped in the face, they must have wonderful expressions."

Zhang Yu continued.

Xie Qian stared blankly, and a group of alpacas flashed in front of him.

Is this being pretended by him again?
So much confidence!
He didn't even think about how to do better and get everyone's approval.

But are you confident that you can slap each other in the face, and wait to see their wonderful expressions?

As expected of Zhang Shisan!
Can't compare, can't compare!
This mentality is incomparable.

Talented people have the capital of self-confidence, themselves. Forget it!
Try to get their approval first before talking about slapping your face.

"Be more confident!" Zhang Yu comforted with a smile, "Failure is the mother of success. Your film was a mess, and at most you will be criticized and continue to be an actor. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being an actor."

Xie Qian:.
He didn't want to screw up the film.

Zhang Shisan's script was shot badly, so his directing career is definitely over at the beginning.

He became the first, and perhaps the only one who failed to make Zhang Shisan's script.

Perhaps, he will be crucified on the pillar of shame, and even affect his popularity and image as an actor.

Hemp egg!

Thinking about it this way, why is it even more stressful!

Only to succeed, not to fail!
"Are you encouraging me, or urging me?" Xie Qian couldn't help asking.

"I'm motivating you." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Xie Qian was a little speechless, but after the launch conference, he naturally started filming according to the plan.

He has rich experience in filming, and he also likes to stand behind the director to feel the feeling of being a director during filming intervals.

He is easy to learn!

And have been preparing.

However, when it came time to play by himself, it was inevitable that he would appear unfamiliar again.

Fortunately, with Zhang Yu by his side, Xie Qian quickly adapted to it.

On the day before Christmas Eve, the crew closed work early.

Both Zhang Yu and Xie Qian had to rush back to attend the premiere of "Transformers 2".

The film was released worldwide, and the momentum is still very good.

Especially in China, the film arrangement directly reaches [-]%.

If the box office is satisfactory after the film is released, I am afraid it will increase.

The schedule for Christmas and New Year's Day can only be regarded as a good schedule in China.

What's more, which domestic film has the confidence to face a fierce film like "Transformers 2"?

Even if the director is no longer Zhang Shisan.

Therefore, the film was released at the same time and there were no decent films to compete with it.

One of a kind!

The premiere of the film naturally attracted many media and film critics, as well as people in the circle.

Yang Ruoxue also came.

For films written by Zhang Yu, she usually finds time to attend the premiere.

Even if she really can't spare time, she will go to the theater to watch it afterwards.

This is a support.

This is not the first time Zhang Yu has watched this film, and he has watched it only once before.

"Transformers 2" is also known as "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen"!
The story of the film continues the plot of the previous one, adding more King Kong, and extending the scene to many countries including France, Egypt, and the United States.

The story tells that the protagonist is hunted down by Decepticons because he holds clues about the origin of Transformers and their visit to Earth in ancient times.

In order to obtain this information, the Decepticons tried to capture the protagonist alive.

The Autobots, the Chinese army and other multinational forces unite to resist the attack of the Decepticons.

Of course, it is obviously impossible for the plot to remain unchanged from the original version.

Compared with the previous work, the visual impact of the film is stronger and the scenes are more grand.

Robots are also more realistic.

The whole film is full of earth-shattering explosions, powerful attacks, heart-piercing screams, special effects at any cost and dizzying action scenes. "Transformers 2" brings into full play all the necessary elements of popcorn entertainment blockbusters. vividly.

This is definitely a rare commercial blockbuster.

At the same time, director Xu Sen's humanized handling of Transformers also received a good "laughing fruit".

This movie increases the weight of the funny plot, and the audience burst into laughter from time to time.

This is definitely a movie worth the price of admission.

On the movie website, the ratings are not much better than the first one.

The same goes for word of mouth.

Clearly, the film worked.

And Xu Sen has also been recognized by many "Transformers fans".

This is domestic.

And what about abroad?

The word-of-mouth from the media and film critics is a little worse, but it is not bad from fans.

This is reflected in the box office.

domestic.

The box office of the film exceeded [-] million on the first day. Although it did not break the single-day box office record, it also won the single-day box office that countless people can't match.

Naturally, there is no suspense about the single-day box office champion.

And what about abroad?

North America won a single-day box office of nearly [-] million U.S. dollars, ranking first in the North American single-day box office list with a slight advantage.

The word of mouth in countries and regions such as Europe and Asia is mixed, but the box office performance is extremely good.

The box office has swept the world.

It's hard to say whether the film's box office will surpass the first one, but it certainly won't be bad.

This film will also become the highest-grossing film among the films directed by Xu Sen.

Directors generally get box office dividends.

A great director like Xu Sen naturally gets a bonus.

The only difference is nothing more than the remuneration plus dividends, or just the dividends.

No matter what kind of agreement he signed, Xu Sen made a lot of money with this movie.

Or fame and fortune.

"Are you still accepting the third part?"

Jiang Nan looked at Xu Sen and asked with a smile.

Pick it up?

Isn't that nonsense?

"Take it!" Xu Sen said, "There are not many opportunities like this in China! To make such a movie, I don't know how many movies I have made before."

high pressure.

But the income is also great!

Not only the gain of fame and fortune, but also the satisfaction of a sense of accomplishment.

"What about the play in hand?" Jiang Nan said.

"The script of "Transformers 3" may be out, but it should take some time before filming!" Xu Sen said, "The scene in hand... Alas, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away!"

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

After filming such a blockbuster as "Transformers 2", it is really less exciting to make those low-budget films.

It has nothing to do with making a lot of money.

"The success of "Transformers 2" has made you famous and rich, and your mentality has changed." Jiang Nan said, "I suggest you take a break first to calm down your emotions. How old is your mind? "

Xu Sen smiled wryly and nodded.

Rest?
I'm afraid it will take a while to get on board.

The film sold well at the box office at home and abroad, but the promotional efforts have not diminished.

As a film director, he naturally needs to follow along to promote.

Xu Sen has been famous for many years, but he is also famous in the Chinese film circle.

In foreign countries, he may be famous, but that's all.

And this time is clearly different.

The second part of "Transformers" is a global hit, and the word-of-mouth box office is not inferior to the first one. In addition, the director of the first film, Zhang Shisan, is famous in the global film circle. Xu Sen may not be compared with Zhang Shisan because of this, but this This time it became famous all over the world.

"Night at the Museum" just made him shine on the international stage. I didn't expect this movie
Thinking about it, it doesn't seem so strange.

"Night at the Museum" did well at the global box office, but the film is not a big production.

After the film was released, the box office has been rising all the way, and its influence has become greater and greater.

Before Xu Sen had time to rest, countless invitations came, many of them came from Hollywood.

He obviously got noticed by Hollywood with this movie.

"What do you think?" Jiang Nan asked Xu Sen and said, "Thirteen Film and Television said that if you don't shoot "Transformers 3", you can also shoot other things."

"Zhang Shisan's script!"

After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he added another sentence.

The invitation from Hollywood is obviously more attractive than the invitation from domestic film and television companies.

This is undoubtedly a filmmaker's plot.

Hollywood is the global film center, which is implanted in the subconscious of countless filmmakers.

Especially directors of Xu Sen's generation.

But if he cooperates with Zhang Shisan again, the attraction may be even more attractive than Hollywood's invitation.

"Find a time to talk to Zhang Shisan!" Xu Sen said after thinking about it.

When he said this, it was obvious that he was more inclined to cooperate with Zhang Shisan.

How about working with Hollywood?

That depends on how to say it.

However, relatively speaking, Zhang Shisan has greater autonomy in cooperation.

There are too many constraints in Hollywood.

For a director, this is obviously disliked.

But Zhang Shisan was different.

Even if he serves as the producer of the film, he gives the director a lot of room to play.

"Transformers 2" is still the case, let alone other films.

Xu Sen and Zhang Shisan also collaborated on "Night at the Museum", so they naturally have a deep understanding.

"I'm afraid he is still on the crew of "Operation Mekong"?" Jiang Nan said.

Xie Qian's transformation into a director was supported by Zhang Shisan, which caused quite a stir in the circle.

"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Sen shook his head and said, "He has produced so many films, and the longest stay in the crew is probably "Transformers 2"! But even so, how long did he stay?"

Jiang Nan was dumbfounded when he heard it.

As for why Zhang Shisan stayed in the crew of "Transformers 2" for so long, they naturally knew it well.

Naturally, they will not be dissatisfied with this.

If Zhang Shisan hadn't been on the set for so long, whether "Transformers 2" would have been so successful, that's another question.
