Chapter 125: Invitation
Thanks to CiaranJ for the tip~~~~
......................................................
stopped reading movie reviews, Zhang Bufan's life has returned to normal, opening a store to cook, studying scripts, and paying attention to the box office by the way.
The two movies he participated in before, "Bullfight" and "Reunion" can be regarded as literary films, and the box office is destined to be too high, especially "Reunion" has not even been released, and there is nothing to look forward to.
"People in Embarrassment" is different, this is a real commercial comedy, just to earn box office, and Zhang Bufan still has a share, of course, he pays special attention to it.
This movie did not disappoint him, the box office performance in the first week was quite strong, it was released at 0:00 pm on Friday, June 4th, and won more than 10 million box office in two days over the weekend, according to this momentum, the box office in the first week may be close to 20 million, and the whole month, it is likely to really exceed 50 million.
A movie with an investment of less than 8 million, if it can record a box office of more than 50 million in the end, it will definitely be a huge success, not to mention that this is only on the mainland side, and it will be released on the Xiangjiang side in the future, not more, it is still possible to have another 10 million.
With such a result, if you only talk about the input-output ratio, "People in Embarrassment" is likely to become this year's champion.
It is foreseeable that several key personnel of the crew will get huge benefits from it, not money, like Xu Zheng, even if he successfully takes that step, it is more stable than he thought, and for example, Ye Weimin, the first independently directed film has achieved such an achievement, and there will inevitably be a large number of movies looking for him to direct in the future, Wang Baobao also proved once again that he is one of the most outstanding comedians in China, and it is the guarantee of the box office, and Zhang Bufan ......
"What did you say? I didn't hear you. Zhang Bufan took the phone away from his ear, plucked out his ear, and took it back to continue listening.
I guess I thought it was incredible, so I paused for a while to ease my emotions and said, "Really, someone sent you an invitation!"
It was Zhang Bufan's current nominal boss - Liang Jing who spoke.
This sister pinched her brows and smiled speechlessly, someone sent an invitation to Zhang Bufan, which is actually nothing strange, after all, this person has three movies in a row, the first one won the Golden Horse, the second one won the Berlin Silver Bear, and the third box office is very promising to squeeze into the top ten or even the top five of this year's domestic film box office list, how many screenwriters in the industry can do such results?
But the problem is that the invitation that people gave Zhang Bufan was not a screenwriter, but an actor!
When she received this invitation, Liang Jing's expression was like this: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
It's no exaggeration, her eyes were bigger than that!
Zhang Bufan played a supporting role, and it was really not too many scenes, and wasn't he scolded miserably on the Internet?
Not only did Liang Jing feel that he didn't understand this question, but Zhang Bufan himself didn't understand it either, so when Liang Jing told him that someone sent him the script, not to ask him to revise it, but to let him participate in one of the roles, Zhang Bufan's expression was the same as Liang Jing at that time, and then rubbed his ears thinking that he had heard it wrong.
It wasn't until Liang Jing repeated it again that he was sure that he really heard it right.
What's even more amazing is that after determining that he was looking for himself to participate in a certain role, Zhang Bufan actually had the idea of "Why don't you do it next?"
Then he asked, "Sister-in-law, what kind of drama is it? TV series or movie, what's the name?"
"Huh?" Over there, Liang Jing thought she was hallucinating again, Zhang Bufan didn't refuse directly, but asked, and then she laughed, "I said let you sign the actor contract by the way, but you still don't listen." ”
While talking, she picked up the script and read the name on the cover: "It's a TV series, what's it called...... "Red Scorpion: Tears and Pear Flowers". ”
"???" A bunch of question marks popped up directly on Zhang Bufan's head, and he subconsciously asked: "What scorpion and what flower?"
"Red Scorpion: Tears and Pear Flowers". Liang Jing replied, she was also a little speechless, just looking at the name...... I can't imagine what kind of TV series it will be!
The question mark on Zhang Bufan's head turned into a black line, and he said without thinking: "Sister-in-law, I think ah, my acting skills are still not at home, you can be sprayed like that when you look at Dawei, so I think it's better not to drag down other people's crews, in case I am scolded, it will be bad, so you should push me." ”
Nonsense, this kind of TV series that feels "wow, it's amazing" just by listening to the title of the drama is better to take it less, and 99% of the time it may only ruin its reputation.
It's not that Zhang Bufan looks down on anyone, but just the title of the show, do you think you can make any good TV series?
"Okay then, sister-in-law will push you. Liang Jing said, and then hurriedly added: "Hey, if there are really good film and television dramas, my sister-in-law thinks you can still think about it, actors, not all of them are from professional classes, don't you see Bo'er, when he and Amber filmed "Get in the Car, Let's Go", he didn't learn acting, this thing, more acting, more research, plus talent, it may not be worse than the professional class." ”
Zhang Bufan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then follow what you said, sister-in-law." ”
"Okay, that's it, I'll go and reply to someone first, hey, by the way, you can find a time to come here and sign your actor contract, just sign it under your studio. Liang Jing said.
"Okay, hey, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you know anyone who teaches painting?" Zhang Bufan hung up the phone, still a little stunned, is someone really looking for me to act? Do you really want to go to the actor's side?
"Draw, I'll ask you about it, okay, goodbye. Over there, Liang Jing hung up the phone, turned her head the next moment, and glanced at the person on the side, yes, there was another person next to her, that is, the amber in her mouth, Guan Amber.
"Hehe, isn't he particularly confused, hasn't figured out why someone is looking for him to film? This kid is like this, sometimes people are very clear, but sometimes he is like a stupid boy, if he is half as smart as he was when he made the script, he would have thought that people were looking for him to act not because of his good acting skills, but because of his fame. Guan Hu and Na Zhile were happy, and Liang Jing, who saw it, couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
Liang Jing walked up to Guan Hu and sat down, and said, "But, isn't it really okay not to tell Zhang Er? He won't float because of this, right? I thought that after acting in a movie, I really became an actor or something." ”
Guan Hu smiled: "Although you can rest assured, that kid is hypocritical and stupid, but he will never float, he, in current words, is a ...... Salted fish. Don't look at him as if he's interested in everything, but in fact he's very satisfied with the status quo, if we don't push him, he won't even roll over, let alone float. ”
"So you're pushing him so hard in the back?" asked Liang Jing.
"That's my brother, I don't push him. Guan Hute replied naturally.
"Hey, are you sure he didn't float?" Liang Jing still seemed a little uneasy, and said: "If he doesn't float, why does he want to learn to paint again?
"Huh?" Now, it was Guan Hu's turn to be confused.
