Chapter 419 Good Movies Have No Geographical Boundaries

Why are so many celebrities and entertainers in China willing to star in this movie with zero pay?

Even Li Hua, an actor who has developed in Hollywood, finds time to return to China.

Because of patriotism?
perhaps.

Certainly not all of them, though.

This is obviously related to the film mechanism and the national conditions of Huaguo.

Then again, everyone has participated in such a tribute film. If you don't participate, it will inevitably be questioned.

Who wants to mess with this kind of trouble?

In China, if you are branded as "unpatriotic", then you are screwed.

The cameo appearance in this movie has already formed a trend in the industry. In other words, it is the general trend.

At the beginning, some celebrities made guest appearances, it was for Han Dong's face.

Or to give Han Dong some face.

But in the future, more people may be coerced by the "general trend".

Nowadays, even those actors who have not participated in the performance, when asked by reporters, they all express their desire to participate in the performance, but they really can't find a schedule.

And deeply regret it.

Some said that it was too difficult to make a cameo in this movie.

They wanted to go, but there was no place for them.

The position of the dragon set is gone.

What is this, this is the general trend.

This movie is full of familiar faces, how is the quality?

The plot naturally has no ups and downs, suspense after another, and it is not too compact.

Many plots, in Zhang Yu's view, are purely superfluous, and seem to be suspected of being a star.

The narrative method is flat and straightforward, telling some major events in the process of founding the country, as well as some small events.

The film touches on situations of all walks of life.

If Zhang Yu were to rate this movie, it would be no more than [-] points.

[-] points out of [-].

Of course, this is based on the rating of the movie itself, without considering factors such as feelings.

However, after the film's premiere, the film scored more than [-] points on the movie website.

And with the release of this film, the score of the film has increased.

"Something I don't understand." Fang Zhengxian said, "There shouldn't be any problems with the ratings of the Movie Network!"

"Do you think this movie is not worth such a high score?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"Don't you think it's worth it?" Fang Zheng said.

"You and I only rate the movie itself." Zhang Yu said, "Film critics have other considerations, but movie fans have other considerations."

Film critics obviously don't count stars like movie fans, but consider the movie itself.

But some movies can't be too serious.

This is a tribute film.

Giving is the key.

If you don't care about movies, but only talk about "gifts", the movie's rating may not be more than [-]%.

It is not difficult to understand that film critics gave a high score of [-] plus.

As for fans?

Why don't you give a high score to a movie that can count stars?

Movies like this are rare.

Traffic movies have been repeatedly banned, and may not be a big hit, but they have been active in the movie circle.

Existence is reasonable.

Domestic movie fans can still tolerate those bad movies, let alone this movie?

This movie may be unsatisfactory in some places, but it is not a bad movie.

Those traffic movies, in front of this movie, that's nothing.

This is the real traffic movie, and it is an unattainable traffic movie.

And it's still a traffic movie with good quality.

What's more, if a gift film has a low rating, then no one will be optimistic about it.

"It's not surprising that this movie has an inflated rating," Zhang Yu continued.

"Then what do you think the movie's box office will be?" Fang Zhengxian said.

"It's hard to break [-] billion!" Zhang Yu said, "It's estimated that [-] billion is difficult."

Not U.S. dollars, but Chinese coins.

It is estimated that it will be difficult for this film to be released abroad.

Even if it is released, I am afraid there will be no box office.

"The box office broke [-] million on the first day, and the lineup seems to be increasing." Fang Zhengxian said.

"If there were no competitors, I'm afraid the box office of this movie would be even lower." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Movies with a lot of stars, in the past, might be okay. Now, I'm afraid most movie fans won't buy it."

Now domestic movie fans are not so easy to fool.

And the facts were as Zhang Yu speculated.

The box office of "Jianguo" exceeded [-] million on the first day, less than [-] million on the second day, and dropped again on the third day.

Although it broke one billion during the National Day holiday, judging from the reaction of the film, it may be really difficult to break [-] billion.

Even so, though, the film is clearly a big hit.

Although there are many celebrities and entertainers, most of them are guest stars.

Of course, those main actors gave a symbolic point.

The production cost is obviously not high.

Zhang Yu didn't know the exact amount, but he thought it would be no more than [-] million at most.

[-] million at the box office can pay back.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Yu.

After attending the premiere, he stayed at home for a few days before going abroad again.

The filming of "Iron Man" went smoothly, and the post-production of "Titanic" was also good. It will be released in time for Christmas and New Year's Day, and there is no problem at all.

And the film has gradually begun to promote.

The cost of publicity and distribution of the film is naturally not low. After all, it is not a promotion in one country or one place, but a global promotion.

Naturally, the publicity fee cannot be lowered.

Even so, no one thinks the film will lose money.

Zhang Shisan's new film has been finalized, which naturally attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

Some topics in this film were immediately "revisited" by the media.

Those big Hollywood directors who were challenged by Zhang Shisan at the beginning were also dug out by the media.

Zhang Shisan's "love movie" will be released soon, how about yours?

You don't just talk, do you?

There is a faint trend in the media to force those big directors to fight Zhang Shisan.

But the opponent obviously won't fight.

Just kidding, it will be released at the same time as Zhang Shisan's film, looking for abuse?

Why bother with money?

Some people pretended to be deaf and dumb, and some directly asked when the film would be released, but he couldn't decide to respond.

However, he just didn't expect Zhang Shisan to respond to this.

"When will you be released, I don't mind the delay."

When your film will be released, you can't decide.

totally understand.

That's okay, I can decide my film.

Tell me a time, we will see you soon.

Will you say it?
Obviously not.

That guy Zhang Shisan is a "lunatic", and he can definitely do this kind of thing.

When he said that, he was definitely not bluffing.

What's more, if you say it in front of so many media, it's hard to get off a tiger, and it's okay when the time comes.

Those directors are willing, but the investors behind them are not!
Zhang Shisan's low-budget romance film "The Love of Ghosts" swept the box office all over the world. How could the box office be bad for this romance film that he kept for himself and added disaster elements?
It's not that he's afraid of Zhang Shisan, but it's unnecessary.

Feeling bad about money is the stupidest thing to do.

face?

Face is worth a few bucks.

What's more, it's the film director who loses face, so what does it have to do with their investment in the producer?
Zhang Shisan competed with those Hollywood directors who mocked him again.

Perhaps those directors dug up by the media were the work of Zhang Shisan.

What a publicity stunt!

The people who eat melons are naturally happy to hear it.

This is Zhang Shisan's narrow-mindedness, and he must retaliate?

Obviously not!

Some people think that the reason why Zhang Shisan is so "sorrowful" has nothing to do with how big his heart is and how strong his desire for revenge is.

It is entirely because of this that it can spark a topic.

Why not take advantage of this hype and publicity?

Together with this topic, it played a big role in the promotion of "Titanic".

This definitely saved Zhang Shisan a lot of publicity fees.

Do those big Hollywood directors know?

Naturally know.

His teeth itch with hatred, but there is nothing he can do about it.

This is stepping on their hype.

But this is also a topic they themselves sent to each other.

Do it yourself!
"He is not afraid that after the film is released, the reputation will be unsatisfactory and it will be backlashed."

With such hype, the film's reputation is not good, so the situation is reversed, and it is inevitable to be ridiculed by those big directors.

Movie fans naturally have images of his senses.

"Maybe he has a lot of confidence in his film!"

If Zhang Yu had no confidence, he would not have challenged them directly at the Oscars before the filming started.

If you say he has no confidence, who will believe it!
"It's normal to be confident at such a young age to achieve such results."

What this means is that Zhang Shisan's self-confidence comes from his past achievements, not the film itself.

The underlying meaning was that Zhang Shisan was blinded by his past achievements and swelled up.

"Confidence does not mean strength."

This is very straightforward.

"Does he really understand love? I know it. He was in a relationship, and it was his wife who pursued him actively. He is just submissive in love. He has not experienced the pain of love. What can a person like him do? Good romance?"

This statement is obviously far-fetched.

To use a Chinese proverb, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen people walking?
If you have to experience everything yourself to make a good film, then how many good films can directors like them make?
Sure enough, some people couldn't see it.

"You still need to experience this matter yourself? How about "Human and Ghost Love"? Don't say that he is just a layman who is a screenwriter and not a director."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to fall into silence for an instant.

Everyone is a sensible person, so why deceive yourself here!
"It's hard to say what Zhang Shisan's movie is like now."

There is no self-deception in these words, but there is some element of self-comfort.

In fact, they knew very well that Zhang Shisan's film might not be bad.

It was, after all, his first film to top the global box office.

It is also Zhang Shisan's first English film in Hollywood.

How could it be bad?

It's just that there is still such a fluke in my heart.

They knew very well that if Zhang Shisan really made a classic romance film, those of them who had ridiculed him for not being able to make a romance film would probably become a laughing stock.

Perhaps, it will also leave a name in film history.

Not a good name, though.

Think about it, if someone mentions Zhang Shisan's "Titanic" in the future, maybe they will all be mentioned!
Countless fans will thank them.

Thanks to their ridicule, Zhang Shisan wanted to prove that he made a good romance film, so he had such a "Titanic".

Left a name in film history, but appeared as a clown.

How does this make them accept it?

They are all great directors, so they may not be famous in film history.

Of course, the premise is that "Titanic" becomes a classic.

Good movies are rare, but classic movies are hard to find.

At the end of November, the post-production of "Titanic" was completed, and the publicity was gradually increased.

Zhang Yu also immediately released a trailer.

As soon as the trailer came out, a romantic atmosphere burst out instantly.

That didn't last long, though.

Two people who love each other are facing an unprecedented disaster.

And what will be their fate?
Naturally, no answer will be given in the trailer.

This will undoubtedly satisfy the appetite of movie fans.

"True love can stand the test of life and death. That's why there is an element of disaster in this film."

"True love in the face of disaster."

"Of course, adding disaster elements is also to make the movie watchable."

Zhang Yu will naturally participate in the promotion of the film.

And the film's two leading actors are either newcomers or actors outside the third tier, so naturally they don't attract too much media attention.

If the leading actor hadn't been changed in the middle of the film, they probably wouldn't even know who Orlando was.

What's more, even if the male and female leading actors are all big-name actors, it may be difficult to steal the limelight of the encounter.

His movies, no matter how strong the cast is, how amazing the wrist is, he will always be the focus of the media.

"Director Zhang, what is your expectation for the box office of "Titanic"? Do you hope that the box office of this film can surpass that of "Avatar"?"

a reporter asked.

And in his question, it was obviously a minefield.

Who doesn't want their video to break records?

But the key is that "Titanic" is an English film, while "Avatar" is a Chinese film.

If it exceeds, it means that the film at the top of the global box office list is no longer a Chinese-language film.

As an iconic character in Chinese-language movies, how would Zhang Yu choose?
This question is obviously just the beginning, and the follow-up question is the key.

"If it can surpass the box office of "Avatar" and set a new box office record, that would be the best." Zhang Yu said, "As for the box office expectations for the film, of course, the higher the better."

"If the box office of "Titanic" exceeds that of "Avatar", it means that the top box office in the world is no longer a Chinese-language film." The reporter then asked, "Will Chinese movie fans keep the top position of Chinese-language movies and boycott this movie?" What about the movie?"

"Hua Guo movie fans are not as bad as you said." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "As long as it is a good movie, Hua Guo movie fans will support it, and it has nothing to do with whether it is a Chinese language movie or not."

"A good movie has no geographical boundaries." Zhang Yu continued, "I believe the same is true for European and American fans. This is why the Chinese-language movie "Avatar" topped the global box office."

Naturally, Zhang Yu would not be fooled.

This media is full of malice, it is trying to stir up conflicts between Zhang Yu's fans at home and abroad.

Zhang Shisan did not make a Chinese film, but arranged an English film.

Do Huaguo movie fans have any opinions on this?

I'm afraid there is.

This media intends to amplify the dissatisfaction of domestic movie fans.

In addition, Chinese film fans are probably really reluctant to see an English film that knocks the Chinese-language film "Avatar" from the top of the global box office list.

Even the English one is Zhang Shisan's work.

So, will Huaguo movie fans boycott "Titanic" because of this?

Zhang Yu didn't know.
