How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 230 [Heroes]

For Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou at this time is grateful.

Because Zhang Weiping has given him quite a lot of support in his career as a director over the years.

Starting from "Speak Well", to the follow-up "No One Less", "My Father and Mother" and "Happy Time" just released.

It can be said that without Zhang Weiping, the publication of these works would have been difficult, even aborted.

At the same time, the publication of these works pushed him to the No.1 position among the directors in the Mainland.

It can even be said that the No.1 position of Zhang Yimou, the fifth-generation director, was promoted by Zhang Weiping.

After all, in terms of status in the director industry, what you look at is the work.

Among other fifth-generation directors, even the "inheritors" born in a family like Chen Wuji, limited by the current film market environment in the Mainland, can only produce a work for several years.

But he can shoot a movie almost every year and land on the theaters.

With such a gap, even if he didn't want to be the No.1 fifth-generation director in the mainland, he couldn't do it.

"Do you want me to make a similar romance movie?" Looking at the newspaper Zhang Weiping handed over, Zhang Yimou thought for a while, then tentatively asked.

Zhang Weiping: "..."

Zhang Weiping was very pleased that Zhang Yimou could say such words after seeing the newspaper he handed over, which showed that his support to Zhang Yimou these years was not in vain.

but……

Zhang Yimou's romance film.

[Red Sorghum], [Raise the Red Lantern], [My Father and Mother]... and other earthy and profound movie images and plots appeared in Zhang Weiping's mind.

Compare the style of [My Sassy Girl].

Zhang Weiping shook his head violently, and even shuddered, it was too much nonsense.

When Zhang Yimou saw Zhang Weiping's reaction, the corners of his eyes twitched a little.

I even lost the dignity of the director, what is your reaction to this disgusting expression?
Fortunately, Zhang Weiping also reacted in time, quickly restrained his expression, and changed the subject: "Yi, didn't you tell me before that you want to try our domestic blockbuster?"

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up when he heard this.

After getting along for many years, Zhang Yimou knew that Zhang Weiping would not be aimless, and asking this question meant that he had certain thoughts in his heart.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yimou asked tentatively.

Zhang Weiping looked at the newspaper in his hand, the news that "My Sassy Girlfriend" had a domestic box office of 1.6 million, which represented the current market in the mainland film market, at least it already had a market of over [-] million box office, enough to support a "blockbuster movie". up.

At the same time, the Asian box office of "My Sassy Girl" was more than 6000 million US dollars, which shows that the Asian film market has a lot to do.

The most important thing is that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" still has an exaggerated box office of 3.2 million US dollars in the world in Zhang Weiping's mind.

The film market in the mainland can be supported, the film market in Asia can develop, and there is also a lesson from the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

He was able to do business in the 90s, and even plunged into the film and television industry.

You can say that Zhang Weiping's success has a lot of luck, but Zhang Weiping is definitely not lacking in courage.

"Let's make a blockbuster movie of our own!"
-
Magic City.

During the period of returning to the mainland to fight against piracy, Zhang Nan spent most of his time in Shanghai.

Because the current film market in the mainland is basically dominated by big cities.

As for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing, there are Huaying and Chinese Americans who have already made a name for themselves to help, so it is not a big problem; Guangzhou and Shenzhen are Zhang Nan's headquarters; The territory of Modu was originally mixed with fish and dragons, and only a Modu film group could not control the scene.

Fortunately, after Zhang Nan arrived, he barely managed to shock the theaters in Shanghai, and later came to help from the Shanghai Academy of Drama, so that the box office performance and piracy of "My Sassy Girlfriend" in Shanghai were all affected. Well maintained.

So... Zhang Nan appeared in the Shanghai Theater Academy and served as the honorary professor of the Shanghai Theater Academy.

"Director Zhang, we have a long history in the School of Drama, from..."

Listening to the introduction from the accompanying staff of the Shanghai Opera, Zhang Nan nodded with a cooperative smile, and the scene was full of hello and me.
-
Tieling.

Zhao Benshan looked at Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping who came to the door just after the cooperation, and was full of surprise in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, but received them warmly.

Seeing Zhao Benshan's enthusiasm, Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou looked at each other.

The two of them had already decided to make a blockbuster movie, so they had to do their best to ensure the box office of the movie after spending so much money.

The way to ensure the box office of a movie is nothing more than three points: the quality of the movie itself, the presence of superstars, and the strong distribution channels.

Zhang Yimou can solve the first point by himself, but not the second and third points.

Then Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping immediately thought of Zhang Nan.

After all, regardless of Zhang Nan's current coffee position.

Just because of Zhang Nan's Asian distribution channel and the world-class distribution channel that has released "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the two cannot ignore Zhang Nan if they want "Hero" to get a good project.

Not to mention the current superstars in Asia, that is, Zhang Nan, Cheng Long, Li Lianlian, Wu Jin and Zhou Jie, all have a very good relationship with Zhang Nan.

But it was too abrupt to come directly to Zhang Nan for help, and the relationship between the two of them and Zhang Nan hadn't reached that point yet.

Then you have to find a middleman.

But who?
After counting and counting, the two found that in their circle, there were only two people who could get online with Zhang Nan: Zhao Benshan and Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen can rule it out directly, because he has been bullying Lu San Kejing recently, and has brought everyone who bullied Lu San home to sue his parents. It was a big joke in the mainland film and television industry for a while, and there was no time at all.

Then only Zhao Benshan, who worked with him last time, was left.

So the two went straight to Tieling this trip, and they brought a lot of sincerity, a supporting role film contract for the [Hero] project.

But when Zhao Benshan understood the intention and sincerity of the two, Zhao Benshan fell silent.

A supporting role film contract for a big project, and his relationship with Zhang Nan.

Of these two things, the latter must be more valuable, but fortunately, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping only asked him to help them connect and build bridges.

"I can only say, call first and ask." Zhao Benshan gave a polite, vague and serious response.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping nodded happily when they heard the words.

That's what they want.
-
Magic City.

Still in the Academy of Drama.

Zhang Nan was receiving the warm hospitality from the principal of the Shanghai Opera, and he was almost overwhelmed.

Really, Zhang Nan really felt that he was going to be overwhelmed.

Because of the enthusiasm of the acting principal...

Let's put it this way, if entertaining him with students is in accordance with the rules, Zhang Nan can empathize with the students who have graduated and are still in their prime.

What about students who have not yet graduated?

Those who have graduated can be dragged back, and those who have not yet graduated are not a problem.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Nan's phone rang, so Zhang Nan quickly made an apologetic expression and gesture, then found a quiet place, and connected the phone.
