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

Chapter 395 Of course it broke the record

Zhang Yu did not intend to participate in the promotion of the film "National Day".

Even if he also serves as the producer of other screenwriters' films, he has rarely participated in the promotion.

Maybe it's busy, maybe it's because I don't want to steal the limelight from other creators.

After all, he didn't spend much time on set for those films.

Maybe it's lazy.

However, this time Ning Yuan abruptly dragged him to participate in several promotional activities.

Zhang Yu could tell that Ning Yuan was getting nervous.

Ningyuan's domestic box office appeal is still very strong.

It's just that the investment and production costs of the films shot in the past are not large.

This is his first blockbuster.

Or quasi blockbuster.

The investment in "National Day" is only a few hundred million.

Ning Yuan had no idea.

Pulling Zhang Yu to participate in the promotion is just to stimulate the film's box office.

Zhang Yu saw his thoughts, otherwise how could Ning Yuan "pull" him?

"The box office of this film should not be bad, right? Your work hasn't been released for more than half a year." Ning Yuan said with a smile, "The fans have been waiting for a long time, and they are already hungry and thirsty."

"Isn't "Forrest Gump" just painted?" Zhang Yu said.

"Chinese movies." Ning Yuan said, "Your fans, as well as other fans, have subconsciously excluded "Forrest Gump"."

This is true.

Domestic movie fans are obviously looking forward to Chinese-language movies written by Zhang Yu.

Although "Forrest Gump" is a good movie, it obviously did not meet the expectations of domestic movie fans, and was even somewhat disappointed.

"Why do you only care about box office and not word of mouth?" Zhang Yu asked.

"National Day" was completed, and Zhang Yu, as the producer of the film, naturally watched it.

And more than once.

Compared with the original version, it is obviously very different.

It's not just a difference in background.

As for which one is better than the original version, it varies from person to person.

However, in terms of special effects and scenes, it is obviously much better than the original version.

This is definitely a rare sci-fi film.

Domestic fans should be very fond of it.

As for foreign fans, it is unknown.

It won't be bad if you think about it.

"What about the movie?" Ning Yuan asked immediately, "When will the post-production be completed?"

"It should be another month or two!" Zhang Yu said.

"Your filming cycle is getting longer and longer now!" Ning Yuan said, "Well, the production is getting bigger and bigger."

"Then let you go back to make low-budget films now, are you willing?" Zhang Yu asked, "Human, naturally you have to go to a higher place."

"Why don't you want to? As long as the story is good." Ning Yuan said, "I'm used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and it's delicious to eat pickles once in a while."

"Then what if you are asked to go back and make big online movies?" Zhang Yu continued to ask.

"I'm used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and occasionally pickles are delicious, but you can't let me eat shit, can you?" Ning Yuan curled his lips and said.

"If the people in the Internet shooting circle know about this, I will definitely spray you in the face." Zhang Yu said with a curled lip.

Ning Yuan smiled awkwardly, but did not explain anything.

No need.

He didn't think Zhang Yu would spread the word.

So what if it gets out?
What's more, he really doesn't like online movies, which he doesn't shy away from.

Everyone in the circle is like this.

Even those who make online movies are the same.

National Day is coming soon.

The day before, "National Day" had its premiere, which naturally attracted many people to join in.

And the reputation of this film is also very good.

The box office may be as Ning Yuan said, fans are already "hungry, thirsty and hardworking", so it is amazing.

The box office broke [-] million on the first day, almost breaking the single-day box office record set by Zhang Shisan.

Ning Yuan's hanging heart finally let go.

The film is set to become the highest-grossing of his films.

Nobody wants to be taller.

Therefore, Ning Yuan still wanted to drag Zhang Yu to continue the promotion, further stimulating the film's box office.

However, Zhang Yu resolutely rejected it and didn't give him a chance.

After the National Day, the films were screened abroad one after another.

The word-of-mouth box office is extremely good.

It's a successful film.

The film was released for more than a month, and the domestic box office was nearly [-] billion, and North America won more than [-] million US dollars.

Other countries and regions such as Europe and Asia have accumulated a box office of more than [-] million U.S. dollars.

The global box office has accumulated more than one billion US dollars.

This is definitely a high-grossing movie.

The film has been released domestically. Zhang Shisan's new film "Avatar" is scheduled for Christmas and New Year's Day, and now it is gradually promoting.

"how?"

Zhang Yu looked at Ning Yuan, Fang Zhengxian and the others with a smile.

The post-production of "Avatar" was completed, and Ning Yuan and others couldn't wait to watch the finished film first.

"Don't ask me." Ning Yuan waved his hand and said, ""National Day" is a success, before you have time to brag about it, you just poured cold water on me."

Ning Yuan felt a little bit hit.

What is a blockbuster, such as "Avatar" is.

"Visually, I don't think there is any movie that can compare with it. Not even Hollywood." Fang Zhengxian said with a sigh, "The 3D effect has definitely improved a few levels. Immersive, maybe that's it. !"

Zhang Yu smiled, he was still very confident about this movie.

Especially visually.

Definitely an improvement over the original.

The 3D effect is absolutely leading the world.

"Perhaps, this film is really likely to hit the top spot on the global box office list." Fang Zhengxian continued.

"This is a visual blockbuster!" Ning Yuan said with a sigh, "I really want to know, if your film really tops the global box office list, how exciting will those people in Hollywood look?"

The world's top box office list has been dominated by Hollywood for many years.

In fact, among the top [-] films at the global box office, there are very few non-Hollywood films.

Before the rise of Zhang Shisan, among the top [-] box office charts in the world, there were no Chinese movies at all.

After "Wolf Warrior 2" broke into the top [-] in the global list, it immediately got out of hand.

Now there are several films that have broken into the top [-].

"Transformers" and "Inception" broke into the top ten.

It is undoubtedly due to Zhang Shisan that there are Chinese-language movies on the global box office list.

"Where is it so easy to top the list?" Zhang Yu said, "However, people have to have dreams, don't they?"

For this dream, the publicity of "Avatar" is unprecedented.

And this is mainly manifested abroad.

Domestically, there is no need for too much publicity.

Even if Zhang Yu's new film is not promoted, its box office is guaranteed.

Of course, not without publicity.

It's just that the propaganda is not as fierce as abroad.

"Director Zhang, why is the movie named "Avatar"?"

During the publicity activities, some media reporters asked many people who were puzzled.

This name, I have no idea what it means!

Before, the titles of films such as "Inception" and "Transformers" were easy to understand.

And after watching the movie, the title feels even more appropriate.

But this "Avatar"?
I have no idea at all!
"The original name of Avatar in English is 'Avatar', and the word is derived from Sanskrit. It means the incarnation of the gods who came to the world, and the popular meaning can be understood as 'incarnation'." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "This is not the same as the male protagonist manipulated by cloning technology. The activities of the Na'vi coincided with each other, so it was named "Avatar".

"Oh!"

Many people suddenly realized that this is the case!

So tall!

Why "Avatar" was named "Avatar" is not necessary but it is not necessary.

Can it still be called "My Daily Demolition on Pandora"?Or "I Help Alien Aboriginals Resist Violent Demolition"?
In fact, many people think that "Avatar" refers to those aliens on Pandora.

"Director Zhang, the investment and production cost of "Avatar" has broken records, and this record is not only domestic, but global." The reporter then asked, "So, what do you expect from the box office of this movie? "

"Expectation?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Of course it's a record! As for whether it can be done, it depends on whether the fans around the world support it."

really!

Zhang Shisan's film, as rumored, went to the top of the global box office list.

What I want to break is not only the domestic box office record, but also the global box office record.

However, there seems to be no surprise.

In the words of Zhang Shisan, if a person has no dreams, how is it different from a salted fish?
If you dare not even think about it, then how dare you put it into action, and how can it be realized.

If Zhang Shisan dares to think and do, it may not mean that he has no chance to realize it.

His movies have never been disappointing.

The movie that currently tops the box office list is a sci-fi film "Star Wars", with a cumulative box office of more than [-] billion US dollars.

Can Zhang Shisan surpass this movie?
No one is sure.

But in the eyes of many people, there is definitely a chance.

After all, it's been years since "Star Wars" topped the list.

Zhang Shisan's film has a significant advantage, that is, the potential of Huaguo's film market has exploded.

Although "Star Wars" was also screened in Huaguo, the market potential of Huaguo at that time was not very good.

Although the film topped the box office list in China at that time, the cumulative box office did not even reach two billion.

Is two billion box office high?
high!
But for Zhang Shisan, it was obviously not difficult.

In the words of netizens, Zhang Shisan can get this box office with his eyes closed.

Is this an exaggeration?
The benevolent see benevolence.

Zhang Shisan threatened to break the global box office record and top the global box office list.

The voice of domestic support overwhelmed other voices.

Which domestic movie fans would not want a Chinese movie to top the global box office list?

It's different abroad.

Undoubtedly, there are many people who are not optimistic, and there are also those who are ridiculed.

Of course, more still don't care, just wait and watch the show.

Whether they break the record or not, what does it have to do with them?
If the movie is good, then support it.

If the film is poor, then it is not supported.

It's that simple.

What about Hollywood?

Carl and the other big Hollywood directors who had mocked Zhang Shisan before were surprisingly silent this time.

Perhaps, they exploded collectively after waiting for the film to be released.

Now that the film has not been released, there is nothing to say.

What's more, they are also afraid of being slapped in the face.

Maybe it's more about Zhang Shisan's influence in China.

Before, the film and television company that targeted Lion King Films was now being retaliated by Zhang Shisan.

The film that could have been screened in Huaguo ended without a problem.

Even if the films released in China were targeted by Zhang Shisan, it would have a great impact on its box office.

Zhang Shisan dared to kill [-] enemies and hurt [-] himself.

And what about Hollywood?
They are not even willing to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Nowadays, various Hollywood film and television companies seem to be afraid to provoke Zhang Shisan and Lion King Films.

Of course, that's on the bright side.

The secret methods, of course, have never stopped.

They don't want one more person to grab food from them.

After all, they are competitors.

Lion King Pictures reversed the situation with "Forrest Gump", and with Zhang Shisan's script and financial support, it is obvious that it is no longer the dilapidated settlement that was bullied by others.

If you can't suppress it, then cooperate.

Nowadays, many film and television companies have approached and wanted to cooperate with them.

Will Zhang Yu refuse?

Obviously not!

If it is profitable, why not cooperate?

Of course, it is impossible for him to refuse all comers.

"Avatar" was released at the same time around the world, and under such momentum, it became the hottest movie in the world.

The filming is also ranked first.

During the New Year's Day and Christmas schedules, domestic competition is not fierce.

"Avatar" was released in this period, which naturally scared away many films that were originally planned to be released in this period.

It was released at the same time as the film directed by Zhang Shisan, so they might as well be released in the highly competitive Spring Festival.

Not a single decent film was released at the same time, so "Avatar" scored an extremely exaggerated schedule.

Fifty percent!
He directly won half of the film schedule, and after the film is released, if the box office is satisfactory, I am afraid it will increase.

After all, the films released in the same period are all low-cost cannon fodder films.

There is no competition at all.

And what about North America?

With more than [-] theaters, it can be regarded as setting a historical record for the release of Chinese-language movies in North America.

If it was before, it would be extremely good to have five hundred.

This row of films is not far behind the Hollywood blockbusters released at the same time.

As for other countries and regions in Europe and Asia, the films they won are also very good.

"You went to Hollywood this time, I thought you were going to fight with someone again."

Yang Ruoxue looked at Zhang Yu who hurried back from abroad, and said with a smile.

Zhang Yu went to North America to promote the film.

However, it seems to be different from what she imagined.

"They don't jump out to provoke me, why do I have to fight them?" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

In fact, he was also ready to fight.

It's just a pity that no one jumped out, it's just that some people smeared behind their backs.

That influence is obviously not as strong as that of a celebrity like Carl jumping out and shouting.

Zhang Yu was promoting in North America, but suddenly received a call saying that Yang Ruoxue had entered the hospital to give birth.

Now that the due date is not far away, who can guarantee that the baby will not come out early?

Zhang Yu didn't want to miss the child's birth, so he hurried back.

As for the video promotion?

Perhaps because of his return to China, the effect of publicity will be somewhat reduced, but in Zhang Yu's view, the reduction is also limited.

With that kind of promotion, his participation is just icing on the cake.

What's more, the word-of-mouth of a film cannot be determined by the degree of publicity.

And what about movie box office?

In the end, I'm afraid we still have to watch the film itself.

"Actually, you don't need to hurry back." Yang Ruoxue said, "These two little guys don't know when they will come out."

"I don't want to miss the child's birth." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Besides, the movie promotion is already in place."
