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

Chapter 402 I Can't Only Have Movies in My Life
Both "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" were extremely famous disaster films in previous lives, or doom films.

The box office reputation is not bad.

Of course, it's just good.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Yu wrote the script but did not shoot it for a long time.

"I'll take it back and have a look first." Ning Yuan stood up with a smile, and then said, "Then decide which one to shoot first."

Zhang Yu smiled and did not stop him.

For Zhang Yu, there is no difference between which one to shoot first and which one to shoot only.

If Ning Yuan is willing, then shoot.

Zhang Yu wrote the script and didn't shoot it, not because he didn't have confidence in the film's box office, but because he had a better choice.

What's more, Ning Yuan is right, it would be good to fill in the vacancy of Chinese-language movies in this genre.

The Golden Dragon Awards ceremony is coming soon.

"Avatar" is the most dazzling film of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, and it is also the biggest hit.

As for whether it will become the biggest winner, it is really hard to say.

Being shortlisted and winning an award are two completely different things.

After all, there is another film that was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, and its reputation is still very good.

That film was also well-received.

Of course, the number of awards nominated for that film is far less than that of "Avatar".

The awards ceremony was full of stars.

This is a grand event for Chinese-language films.

Naturally, Zhang Yu would not be absent, and Yang Ruoxue was also invited to participate.

The two walked onto the red carpet together, envious of others.

The topic of envying Zhang Shisan and Yang Ruoxue has never disappeared on the Internet.

"I heard you have no plans for a new film yet?" Zhang Hang asked about Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue entered the venue, Zhang Hang greeted him.

He was chatting with Chen Shan and others at this time.

There was still a while to go on the red carpet, and groups of three and four gathered in the venue to chat.

Zhang Yu's new film, in the past, basically started preparations after the film was released.

This time, it was obviously much slower.

"Take a break." Zhang Yu said, "I can't just have movies in my life!"

"It's good to spend more time with my wife and children." Chen Shan nodded.

Why this time is so, Chen Shan and others actually still have some guesses.

"Are you really planning to shift your focus to Hollywood?" Zhang Hang asked suddenly.

"It's not a transfer." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "However, the movie world I built did start from there."

Why start with Hollywood?
Be it Zhang Hang or Chen Shan, they didn't ask.

No need to ask.

They obviously knew that starting from there, Zhang Yu must have thought carefully.

In addition to the maturity of the Hollywood film mechanism, this may have a lot to do with the market.

Castles were mostly breached from the inside.

"Will your next film be?" Chen Shan asked curiously.

"Isn't that right!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "For those films, I should appear more as a screenwriter and producer. Director... Where can I shoot them."

Will Zhang Yu direct that series of films?
Probably still will.

However, Western superheroes like "Iron Man" probably won't.

Those domestic superheroes still have some ideas.

Those are all his originals.

It's just that the script still has a framework, and it hasn't been perfected yet.

However, it is estimated that most of the first movie with many superheroes will be directed by him.

"You have to participate in the promotion of "Godzilla" several times." Zhang Hang said suddenly.

"Godzilla" is scheduled for May, and now it has gradually begun to promote it.

""pirate"."

"It depends on the situation!" Zhang Yu said quickly.

Chen Shan's "Pirate" is scheduled for summer vacation.

Participate once in a while, that's okay, how many more?
just forget it!
Zhang Yu really wasn't interested in running a publicity campaign.

For him to participate, at best, it was just icing on the cake.

It works, but not much.

If he does not participate, these two films cannot avoid him.

His box-office appeal will still count.

After chatting for a while, the awards ceremony was about to begin, and everyone took their seats.

"A lot of your films should be released this year, right?" Yang Ruoxue asked Zhang Yu in a low voice.

Zhang Yu nodded.

In addition to "Ice Age", which was released during the Spring Festival, "Godzilla" was released on May [-]st, and "Pirate" was released in the summer.

In addition, Xie Qian's "Operation Mekong" was released on the National Day file.

As for whether there will be a movie released on Christmas and New Year's Day, it's really hard to say now.

Even if it didn't, that's four films.

"Ice Age" has not yet been drawn, but the box office is still very good.

This is true whether domestic or foreign.

It's just that the popularity of "Avatar" topping the global box office chart has been covered up.

Moreover, this is only domestic.

In Hollywood, "The Shawshank Redemption" is hard to say, but "Harry Potter" has already been scheduled for summer vacation, and the filming and production of "Ghost Story" is relatively simple, and it will definitely be released this year.

"I don't know if it's another 'Zhang Thirteen Years'?" Yang Ruoxue said with a smile.

Awards will begin soon.

This year's Golden Dragon Awards did not upset either.

"Avatar" became the biggest winner.

The Best Actor and Actress Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award failed to win, but almost all other shortlisted awards were in their arms.

Among them are Best Picture and Best Director.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of winning the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director again? Is it a little less exciting than last time?"

After the awards ceremony, Zhang Yu naturally became the focus of many media.

"Of course I am very happy to win the award again, and I am also very excited." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "This award is not only an affirmation for me as a director, but also an affirmation for my work "Avatar."

Are you excited?

Excited.

And it's not as exciting as winning an award last time.

Naturally, this is the first time I am the most excited.

However, Zhang Yu would not tell the truth in a foolish way.

"Director Zhang, you failed to win the Best Screenplay Award this time, how do you feel about it? Are you not disappointed at all?"

Zhang Yu was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, and it seems that such a situation rarely occurs.

This also made the award-winning screenwriter famous.

After all, he won the award by defeating Zhang Shisan, the world's number one screenwriter.

It can be seen that his trophy is full of gold.

"I'm shortlisted, so I have to win an award? It's not such a good thing." Zhang Yu said, "Besides, I also said that if I win this award, it will be a tragedy for Chinese-language films. I didn't win the award." , very good. Of course, there are still some losses."

It's normal to be disappointed if you don't win an award.

But if one prize is won too much, it seems to be dispensable.

However, who is shortlisted and does not want to win an award?
Not at all lost, which is obviously impossible.

Of course, you won't be too disappointed.

Is it controversial that Zhang Shisan did not win the Best Screenplay Award?

There is really no controversy.

"Avatar" is a commercial movie.

As for the award-winning film, it also rushed into the main competition unit of Cannes.

The reputation of the movie is also very good.

Can't Zhang Shisan be shortlisted, he has to win the award, right?
The award selection is not based on people, but on their works.

"Any plans for Director Zhang's new film?"

a reporter asked.

The attention of Zhang Shisan's new film is still quite high.

In other words, among global directors, his new film is the one that attracts the most attention.

"I'm going to rest for a while, and if there is any news about the new movie, I will let you know in advance."

Zhang Yu said.

Take a break?
How long this period of time is no one knows.

However, Zhang Shisan's works have not disappeared.

After the Golden Dragon Award, "Avatar" was drawn globally.

The domestic box office exceeded [-] billion, and the global cumulative box office exceeded [-] billion US dollars.

The film set a new box office record.

However, "Ice Age" has not yet been drawn, and Zhang Yu and Zhang Hang collaborated again on "Godzilla" to set a file for May Day, and then began to promote it.

The film was released and received good reviews at the box office.

And the global box office broke into the top [-] in the global box office list.

However, compared to "Jurassic Park", it is undoubtedly a lot worse.

But this film is definitely a success.

The popularity of "Godzilla" is not over yet, and Chen Shan's "Pirates" has already started to promote.

Seems like a seamless connection.

For these two movies, Zhang Yu didn't take much part in the promotion.

But the promotion of the film must not avoid him.

His screenwriter is undoubtedly the focus of publicity.

Although Zhang Yu is resting and has no plans to start filming new films, his exposure rate is no less than that of those celebrities who have been active in front of the screen.

"Pirate" was released, and the domestic word of mouth and box office are good.

It's just that it's worse abroad.

However, only in relative terms.

Compared with other blockbuster films written by Zhang Yu, this "Pirate" is less popular abroad.

Of course, it is certain that the film will make money.

And earn more than other domestic films.

There will definitely be a sequel to the film.

However, not long after the film was released, Zhang Yu was very surprised by Kevin's phone call.

"Is there a director in Hollywood who wants to remake "Pirate"?" Fang Zhengxian looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.

"The original name of "Pirates" was actually "Pirates of the Caribbean"!" Zhang Yu said, "The inspiration for this movie came from 'Pirates of the Caribbean', and the original script was not set in the ancient China, but in the modern West."

"You want them to adapt it?" Fang Zhengxian looked at Zhang Yu and asked.

"Why should they adapt it?" Zhang Yu said, "I have a ready-made script in my hand, and I also have my own film and television company in Hollywood."

"Are you earning money twice for the same story?" Fang Zhengxian said with a smile.

""Pirate" has a sequel, you know that." Zhang Yu asked, "I mean Hollywood remake, when is the most suitable time."

"Pirate" may not meet expectations, but the box office reputation is good.

And the potential is not small.

Naturally, there would be no problem shooting a sequel.

The question is simply when to shoot.

"Why don't we have to wait until the second movie is released?" Fang Zhengxian thought for a while and said, "Or when it's released."

When it was released, it was naturally a wave of publicity.

Zhang Yu nodded.

"If we let the remake at this time, after all, Director Chen's domestic public opinion is quite critical of him."

What will happen to Chen Shan?
I'm afraid it's easy to misunderstand!
If "Pirate" meets expectations and Hollywood remakes it, it's because the movie is awesome.

But now the remake, I am afraid that Zhang Shisan is dissatisfied with the performance of "Pirate".

Even if Chen Shan didn't misunderstand, what about the others?

Rumors and gossip will inevitably arise from this.

In the entertainment industry, these are the things that cannot be underestimated.

That kind of voice is probably not a good thing for Chen Shan or Thirteen Film and Television.

Among other things, the sequel to "Pirate" must have a great impact.

The global box office of "Pirates" did not meet expectations, and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", which was released immediately after it, somewhat exceeded expectations.

The film was first released in countries and regions such as North America and Europe.

After its release, it became an instant hit.

The impact is astonishing, especially among young children.

This movie can be described as killing both young and old.

This is a high-energy adventure movie, the film is extraordinarily original, refreshing the audience.

This is a smart imaginative and funny film.

Huaguo and other Asian countries and regions will also be screened one after another.

The film was released in China in late August, just in time for the end of the summer vacation.

As a Hollywood film written by Zhang Shisan, this film is naturally supported by domestic fans.

Of course, apart from Zhang Shisan's box office appeal, the film itself is the key.

Why does "Pirate" give people a feeling that it has not met expectations?

It is nothing more than that compared with "Godzilla" and other films written by Zhang Shisan, the box office and influence are much worse.

Not to mention the comparison with movies like "Transformers" and "Jurassic Park".

In addition, compared with the momentum of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", which was released immediately afterwards, it is too weak.

"The expectations for each film are different."

"The fact that the movie "Pirate" did not meet expectations is naturally impossible to talk about."

"The fact that this film will have a sequel says it all."

"I'm very pleased with the film's global box office."

"Pirate" is not as good as other films, Chen Shan naturally endured a lot of pressure.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to jump out and "explain".

If he doesn't show up again, Chen Shan will become the first director to shoot his script.

Hit the street?

"Pirates" broke the billion-dollar mark at the global box office.

Is this a rush?

"The box office of "Pirate" is considered to be a hit, and Director Chen was almost scolded." Xie Qian looked at Zhang Yu with a bitter face, and said, "After "Operation Mekong" is released, will I be scolded to death? !"

How did "Operation Mekong" fare at the box office?

Xie Qian didn't know, but it might be really difficult to reach the height of "Pirate".

"How much did you invest in the film, and how much did you invest in "Pirate"? The two films are not at the same level." Zhang Yu said, "Don't worry, even if I get scolded, it's none of my business."

Xie Qian:.
"If "Operation Mekong" hits the box office, do you still think I will be scolded?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

You, Zhang Shisan, will not be scolded, but I, Xie Qian, will be scolded!
"Why do I feel that you want to see me being scolded?" Xie Qian was speechless when he heard it, and said, "Did you forget that Thirteen Film and Television is the biggest investor in this movie. If the box office is smashed, the loss will be the biggest It's you."

"How could it be!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I just said that fans' box office expectations for your movie are not as high as "Pirate"."

This is true.

Who is Chen Shan?

That is one of the top directors in the country.

The commercial blockbuster he collaborated with Zhang Shisan is naturally highly anticipated by movie fans.

And what about Xie Qian?

He's just a rookie director.

And his movie wasn't a blockbuster either.
