Actor: My Entertainment Era

Don't talk emotionally with capital.

Nolan's two "Batman" movies for Warner wiped out DC's decline and made Warner a lot of money.

Nolan also gained the friendship of Warner, but when Nolan showed the idea of ​​"Inception" to Warner, Warner did not agree to make this film.

Because Warner has a serious path dependence: the sales of "The Devil", "The Hobbit", "Harry Potter" and "Batman", Warner is not very willing to make original large-scale productions.

You can make enough money just by making adaptations and selling CDs, so why take the risk and make something original?

That’s why Emma is looking for investors all over the world.

Now that "Inception" is selling well all over the world, Warner also said that "from the beginning of the creation, Warner invested heavily to support Nolan in realizing his dream, and was the first to obtain the production and distribution rights of the film with other companies."

He looks like a bole.

But in fact, Warner executives have been having a hard time recently. It is true that "Inception" was a global hit, but a Chinese actually made away with the money!
He actually foolishly agreed to Zhang Yuanjun’s $2400 million to buy out the box office in six countries: China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

At present, the box office in these six countries has exceeded 1.5 million US dollars, and Zhang Yuanjun's profit has been at least 4000 million US dollars!
Warner's gut was filled with regret.

Fortunately, Warner's most profitable disc revenue is not distributed to anyone. How much money can it make from box office sales?They also have to split accounts with distributors and theaters, and Warner makes a pure profit from selling discs.

On the other side, Han Sanping and Fu Ruoqing settled their old feud. They both made a tacit agreement not to mention the previous disagreements over the purchase of "Inception", and they couldn't be happier.

Current results prove that China Film and Zhang Yuanjun jointly established Maoyan Pictures and bought out "Inception" in their name, which is China Film's most successful investment this year!
Although the majority of the profits were in the hands of Zhang Yuanjun, China Film also received huge profits that exceeded expectations.

Fu Ruoqing also treated Zhang Yuanjun to a meal alone to show his gratitude and attention.

Warner regrets that it made less money, China Film is very lucky to have successfully invested, but some people are very unhappy.

The most beautiful picture of Zhang Weiping.

"Tangshan Earthquake" and "Inception" have both been postponed, "Suicide Squad" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" are catching up, followed by the National Day release, "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen", "Sword Rain" and "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" Watching with eager eyes.

"Hawthorn Love" is a literary film sandwiched in the middle.

Zhang Weiping really wants to curse now. He made a wise choice by placing "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" in mid-September. Putting a literary film in the summer schedule is asking for death, even if the director is Zhang Yimou.

He knows, he knows everything.

But he didn't expect the competition to be so fierce in September. Who said September was the off-season? He was the first to say no.

But you still have to brag.

"It takes an investment of 7000 million and a box office of 2 million to make it back."

"I'm like, if I don't do it, if I do, I'll do it bigger and be different from others."

"Literary and artistic films are not necessarily small-scale productions, and literary and artistic films are not necessarily made with three melons and two dates."

When faced with a reporter's comment about the artistic film's arranging losses, he bit the bullet and said, "I dare to invest 7000 million, and I still care about this."

At the end of the interview, when talking about "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the reporter asked him which big Hollywood name he would choose for the leading role.

Zhang Weiping said: "Both Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have read the script and are very interested in the role. They have already been interested in cooperating with Chinese national treasure director Zhang Yimou."

The reporter asked if domestic A-list celebrities would be used: "For example, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei."

He smiled mysteriously: "The first thing we consider is the compatibility of the actors and crew with Yimou. We will not deliberately pursue big names and appeal. No matter how big the name is, it can't be bigger than the director Yimou."

"Of course, I have always paid close attention to the two actors you mentioned. They are indeed very popular." He left a tail in the end.

When the reporter got the word, it turned into "Zhang Weiping is optimistic about Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, and plans to invite them to star in "Thirteen Hairpins"."

After this summer vacation, no one will watch domestic movies without Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, right?However, the reporter could not find the two people for verification. The two people almost disappeared from public view after returning to the capital after finishing the promotion of "Inception".

Occasionally, the two of them can be photographed in theaters, restaurants, gyms and other places, but they have never been able to get an interview opportunity.

I called their agents and got the same answer: "We currently have no work related to "Thirteen Hairpins"."

The reporter asked a lot: "What are Yuanjun and Yifei busy with recently?"

"It's not convenient for us to reveal our work schedule, sorry."

But in fact, since the two of them ended the promotion of "Inception", they gave up all their work and concentrated on being idle.

Zhang Yuanjun is waiting for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to start shooting next month, and Liu Yifei is also waiting for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to start shooting next month. Zhang Yuanjun still doesn't know that Liu Yifei will play Ling Yanqiu.

In fact, it's not right to say that they are just idlers. After two days of idleness, the two of them have had enough rest and still have to go back to work. Zhang Yuanjun still has a movie script to work on, and Liu Yifei also has to focus on the post-production of "Space Traveler".

After completing the outline of the script, Damien Chazelle and David Sadler both returned to the United States, and the three of them communicated through emails to fill in the script.

David is 73 years old. If something happens to him in China, it will be a problem.

The three screenwriters reached a high degree of agreement on the title of the film, which was called "Her".

The heroine, the name of the voice assistant, is named after Liu Yifei, called Sissy.

After Liu Yifei got the outline, she was so happy that she kissed her boyfriend hard on the spot.

But Zhang Yuanjun raised another concern: "I'm afraid that like in "Love Traveler", I'll act too seriously. In "Love Traveler", you used your character's name. Now, let's use your real name. In acting, when I call you Sissi, am I calling you the real person, or am I calling you your character?"

"Aren't you an actor? You don't have any control at all?"

"How about I change the character's name."

"How dare you!" Liu Yifei's eyes almost stood up, "That's what it's called, no changes are allowed."

She knew he was teasing her, but she was willing to cooperate with him.

"When will your script be finished?"

"If I can finish it this year, I will be like Amitabha."

"Hey, what if Zhang Weiping really asks you to act in "Thirteen Hairpins"?" Liu Yifei burst out in weird interest.

"I don't have time. I have to shoot "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" for three months, so how can I have time to shoot "Thirteen Hairpins"?"

"That's Zhang Yimou."

"Have you ever heard of Mou Girl? Have you ever heard of Mou Men?" Zhang Yuanjun asked her, "You know the heroine of "Raise the Red Lantern" is Gong Li. Do you know who the male lead is? The male lead of "Ju Dou" is who?"

Liu Yifei really couldn't tell for a moment: "That's right."

Zhang Yuanjun asked her: "What if Zhang Yimou really asked you to play "Thirteen Hairpins"?"

"Go, why don't you go." Liu Yifei said nothing.

Zhang Yimou has a fatal attraction for domestic actresses.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Then come on, try to act in Director Zhang's play." After that, he walked away and went to work.

"Hey, what do you mean by laughing? Can't I perform Director Zhang's play? Please speak clearly..." Liu Yifei muttered and followed Zhang Yuanjun into the study. (End of chapter)
