Zhang Weiping, a pivotal figure in the domestic film industry.

Although he is not as influential in the industry as Huang Zhongjun and Yu Dong, relying on Zhang Yimou alone is enough for him to stand at the top of the industry.

In his early years, Zhang Weiping was a pharmacist, but later he was favored by Siemens, so he resolutely quit his iron job and became the manager of a commercial department of Siemens.

After working for a year, he resigned, went to make airline food, and took over the lunch boxes of the entire Capital Airport and Yangcheng Airport.

Later, when I was interviewed, I also spoke bluntly in the face of the media, saying that the first thing to do real estate is to get the land without cash, there is a plan, and after completing an approval procedure, the land can be approved.

After getting the land use certificate, you can hire a designer, and the designer's money is also settled after the autumn, and as soon as the drawings are drawn, and then a model room is built, you can sell the building and collect money.

This process has continued in the real estate industry, and if he still does this business, he will probably be a real estate tycoon again.

Radical, extreme, and shrewd, Zhang Weiping is more of an out-and-out businessman than Donghe Huang Zhongjun.

But the film industry is a very professional industry, and it is obvious that Zhang Weiping is a layman, perhaps this is also the reason why the new picture has been guarding Zhang Yimou and has not become bigger.

In 06, when Jia Zhangke and Zhang Weiping sprayed each other, they said that he was simply ignorant.

However, Zhang Weiping's propaganda strategy still has a set, and it is also the most common propaganda method in China.

Before the movie was released, some media, peers, and film critics were invited to come over, and basically this group of people did not cry and be excited after watching it, and they were deeply moved after watching it, and cried for an hour.

When promoting "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", he once said, "Come to me without crying after watching it".

and when "Golden Armor" swept the Chinese New Year stalls, he said extremely arrogantly, "What is unstoppable, go to the door of the cinema and take a look!"

Like, what is an international movie star!

Arrogance comes from the experience of entrepreneurship, the barbaric capital growth process, and the one who supports his arrogance is Zhang Yimou, his good brother.

is not a good brother, the three children born to Zhang Yimou without a certificate are all birth permits given by him, and he doesn't even know about the assistant who has followed Zhang Yimou for more than ten years.

Although the birth permit is fake.

In the film industry, Zhang Yimou is his biggest reliance.

In previous years, no matter who he faced, he had absolute confidence.

In 06, he directly made nearly 800 film copies, squeezed out the "Wounded City" starring Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, and scolded Yu Dong and Wang Changtian by name.

But now, times have changed!

Zhang Weiping sighed, in the past three years, the film industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, which caught him off guard.

Without Zhang Yimou, the new picture has not been released for three years, and Zhang Weiping is a little out of touch with the film industry.

In previous years, even if it was a schedule like the Chinese New Year, there were only two blockbusters at most in the same period.

But this year, "October Siege", "Fengyun", "Thorn Tomb", and Li Qian's "Perfect World" that suddenly appeared, plus their own "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", within 15 days, five blockbusters will be released!

This is also the reason why he said when he was angry and scolded Yu Dong before, when will "October Siege" be released, and "Three Guns" will be released on the same day, but he regretted it.

It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just five blockbusters, and the pressure is too great.

This time, he didn't scold the opponent's investors like last time.

scolded Yu Dong last time, and Wang Changtian, who had just entered the film industry.

If you scold yourself this time, you will have to scold too many people.

Zhang Weiping decided that it would be better to keep a low profile first.

Moreover, I am not in the mood this time, the pressure is too great, and it will not work to try to fill the market by copying a large number of copies.

"Three Guns" is expected to release 650 film copies, and "October Siege" is on the same page as him, no more, no less, 650.

There are 500 "Thorn Tombs" and close to 500 "Fengyun".

The number of film copies of "Perfect World" also reached 600.

In fifteen days, a total of 2,900 film copies were released in five films!

There were several other films in those fifteen days, which together are estimated to have reached an unprecedented 3,000 copies of film.

What kind of concept is this, 800 copies of "Golden Armor" dominate the market, and 700 copies of "Red Cliff" can account for more than 80% of the film arrangement.

Not to mention 3,000, 1,000 copies of film is enough to fill all the film screens.

It can't be helped, it depends on who dies first.

It's insane!

This also gave Zhang Weiping a sense of urgency, and he couldn't care about scaring people, and concentrated on shouting for "Three Guns".

However, if someone finds fault, Zhang Weiping doesn't mind teaching the other party a lesson.

That Wang Yuelun is a person from Xiangnantai, and Xiangnan Optoelectronics invested in "October Siege", which may mean that they want to engage themselves, Zhang Weiping was secretly wary.

There are a lot of things, and Zhang Weiping is also very annoyed.

But it's annoying, and you still have to work.

Accepted an exclusive interview with Sanlian Life Weekly, and the reporter asked about the goal of the New Year, Zhang Weiping was not modest at all.

"The box office champion of the Chinese New Year, there is no doubt about it!"

"Does Mr. Zhang have an expected number in his heart?"

"400 million!" Zhang Weiping didn't think about it, and seemed mature.

"I must have a point, and I'm not alone. After the rough cut of "Three Guns" was completed, I asked all the theater bosses to watch the film, and after watching the film, none of the bosses thought that "Three Guns" was a small film and a vulgar film. Let's see the results, it will be soon. I think that with my judgment of the domestic commercial film market for so many years, there should be no problem with a minimum guarantee of 400 million. ”

"Can you please ask Mr. Zhang to predict the box office of several movies in December?"

Zhang Weiping didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and came, "I didn't see any highlights from the trailer of "Perfect World", the story of an uncle and a child, how could the audience be interested, even if Li Qian deceived the audience into the cinema, he could only deceive for a while, not for long, and the box office would not reach 200 million. ”

The corners of Xinlang's reporter's mouth twitched, although he knew that Zhang Weiping would not have any good words in his mouth, but he didn't expect him to dare to say it.

But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Weiping is not such a person.

In the past, he had conflicts with Gong Li, and when Gong Li starred in "The City Full of Golden Armor", he clearly told Zhang Yimou that he didn't want to see Zhang Weiping on any occasion, and it was written into the contract.

As a result, the premiere really didn't come, and when Zhang Weiping criticized Fa Ge, he also spoke for Fa Ge, which made him very unhappy.

So later, the box office stopped at 290 million, and Zhang Weiping said that the national box office of "Miami Vice" starring Gong Li was only more than 20 million, and he originally wanted to use Zhang Manyu.

If the queen is played by Zhang Manyu, with her charm and popularity, the effect will definitely be different, plus Jay Chou, this kind of appeal will definitely be able to surpass the box office of "Titanic".

There's nothing wrong with Brother Fa.

The difference between 290 million and 360 million is 70 million, and replacing Gong Li with Zhang Manyu can add 70 million, and there is no one who can say this.

resisted the urge to answer, and listened to Zhang Weiping talk about other movies.

""October Become" has so many stars, what's the use, is it a hodgepodge, and I also found a singing person to play the heroine, can I act, I see more than 100 million in this film. ”

"The whole tomb robbery film of "Thorn Tomb", who looks at this thing, forty or fifty million is about the same, do you want to see your ancestor's tomb dug up?"

"If you want to watch this movie, it's better to go back and watch the TV series, I heard many peers say that they are about to fall asleep when they watch the screening, which doesn't require much for me, it's a box office of 40 or 50 million if it tops the sky. ”

The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, "Fengyun 2", "Thorn Tomb" is fifty or sixty million, "October Siege" and "Perfect World" are more than 100 million, so the box office of these four blockbusters adds up to exactly the 400 million "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" in Zhang Weiping's mouth.

The reporter of Sanlian Weekly didn't know how to complain, and Zhang Weiping's nonsense made him unable to find an entry point for a while.

It's all slots, and there's no way to put your mouth down.

In the end, I still choose Li Qian, who has the highest topicality.

"Mr. Zhang, Li Qian's directorial debut broke 100 million at the box office, and the second movie "Moon" sold 250 million, you said that "Perfect World" will not reach 200 million, are you kidding?"

Zhang Weiping smiled, "The movie is not a math problem, the first part is 100 million, the second part is 250 million, and the third part is 300 million, so won't the tenth movie break one billion." ”

Logical genius!

"Last month, the sci-fi romance movie "Living Together in Time and Space" supervised by director Li Qian was released for 21 days, and it still got 160 million box office under the attack of many blockbusters..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Weiping.

"That has nothing to do with Li Qian, he just has a name, and no matter how high the box office is, it is not his. ”

Before the reporter could speak, he continued, "I'm most annoyed by some media hype, and what kind of rookie director Bole, it is a movie made by others, and in some people's mouths, it has become Li Qian's thing."

The box office is high and famous, it is Li Qian's credit, so what about the loss, do you want to scold the new director?"

The reporter reminded, "But all the movies produced by director Li Qian have been box office hits, and the audience's reputation is also very good." ”

"I'm not done yet!"

"You know the "Stubborn Radish" in the summer file, in fact, Li Qian is the biggest investor and producer of this film, but he feels that the movie was not made well, and he is afraid of ruining his reputation, so he denies this movie.

Therefore, any rookie director's Bole is boastful, and he has set up a character for himself, when "Mulan" was promoted before, didn't Zhao Wei just get a strong woman character for himself, it is all the same reason, deceiving. ”

Zhao Wei and Zhang Weiping have had grievances for many years, and when it comes to Li Qian, they don't forget to pull her in.

The more he talked, the more energetic he became, the reporter couldn't interject, and he didn't want to interject.

Other celebrities are interviewed, and they have to go to great lengths to talk about it, which saves a lot of tongue.

"I think you media should care about those rookie directors, their achievements have all been stolen by Li Qian, and "Stubborn Radish", which has an average box office and a bad reputation, was abandoned by Li Qian, what do they think in their hearts.

The media should have a sense of social responsibility, help these weak newcomer directors happen, don't be afraid of Li Qian's power, dare to speak out, and fight for what they deserve!"

......

"Come on, I've become a power, an exploiting class!"

Looking at the entire content of Zhang Weiping's interview, Li Qian also had to sigh that the first spray word in the national uniform is worthy of its name!
