Chapter 350: I, Zhang Pu, never brag
The publicity of "The Wandering Earth" is carried out in an orderly manner, and the publicity is getting stronger and stronger.
The first promotional conference of the film, Zhang Pu also participated.
This film is written by Zhang Pu, and he also has the title of a producer. On the promotional poster, his name is almost the same as the size of the director and the leading actor.
The promotion of the film can't get around him.
This is also the reason why Zhang Pu will have money even if he is just a name.
Even if he is just a name, there will be many fans who will spend money to enter the theater for this.
"Director Zhang, you once said that "The Wandering Earth" is expected to break the box office record of "Looking for the Dragon", where does your confidence come from?" The reporter asked Zhang Pu, and the first one mentioned his "bold words" in "Listening".
After all, this matter is too different from Zhang Pu's previous style.
"My confidence naturally stems from the quality of the film itself. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Moreover, I believe that "The Wandering Earth" can open the door to Chinese science fiction movies." Chinese fans have been waiting for such a film for a long time, and I believe that this film will not disappoint them. After the film is released, they will definitely support it strongly. ”
The corners of Wen Hao's mouth twitched next to him, and he was a little frightened when he heard it.
"Open the door to Chinese science fiction films"!
Is this because I'm afraid that I won't die if I fall, and I have to hold it higher?
Wen Hao's heart was weak, but his complexion remained unchanged, and he still had an expression of believing in Zhang Pu's eyes.
Well, there was a joy in his expression that he had met Bole.
I have to say that every director is a good actor.
Wen Hao's heart was so empty, but he could still show a breezy expression. The has been blown out by Zhang Pu, and Wen Hao naturally won't go to dismantle the stage.
Zhang Pu's box office appeal is very strong, and his humility has a long history and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
He admires "The Wandering Earth" very much, and many fans still believe it.
Of course, science fiction films are a pain in the face of Chinese films, and too many fans look forward to it again and again, and then disappointed again.
has been deceived too many times, even if they believe Zhang Pu, they are also skeptical about this film.
"Grandpa, are they coming to Yanjing for the New Year this year?"
After the press conference, Zhang Chu asked Zhang Pu.
He has gained a lot of popularity with "Wolf Warrior".
Although "The Wandering Earth" played the name of Zhang Pu, the publicity revolved around Zhang Chu and Deng Kun.
However, Deng Kun is still filming in the United States now, and it is estimated that it will be a few days before he returns.
Zhang Chu's schedule is very full now, and the two of them rarely get together, and now that the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, the New Year will naturally be talked about.
"Why did they come to Yanjing for the New Year?" asked Zhang Pu suspiciously.
"Then Jiahui and their parents went to your house for the New Year?" Zhang Chu then asked.
"I don't know. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"If the two families don't get together, how can they negotiate the marriage date?" Zhang Chu said, "The last time I called back, I heard that grandpa and they urged you to get married." ”
"We don't plan to get married again, what kind of marriage date are we negotiating?" Zhang Pu pouted and said, "Grandpa, they urged, we will get married?" Don't tell me, grandpa, they didn't urge you? You, the elder brother, are still in front, what am I panicking about?"
When Zhang Chu heard this, his face suddenly turned bad.
He was indeed urged to marry.
I don't know if it's luck, or if he and Guo Yunxi get together less and leave more, Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi's relationship has not yet been exposed.
The two of them didn't deliberately avoid it at all.
Now that celebrities are in love, there is no need to avoid it.
Of course, they didn't take the initiative to announce it, and in public, the two didn't have much intimacy.
Zhang Chu is a first-line star, but Guo Yunxi is a quasi-first-line.
It stands to reason that with the popularity of the two, their gossip is still very marketable.
I don't know why, the paparazzi are so ineffective.
The two of them have been in love for so long, and they haven't been discovered.
I don't know what those celebrity artists who want to hide it, but are exposed by the paparazzi, will feel after they find out.
"Could it be that the family is getting more and more urging, and feelings are a good thing for you to do!" Zhang Chu said angrily.
Zhang Pu used him as a shield, and the effect was remarkable!
"Then again, you haven't thought about getting married?" Zhang Pu said, "You're over thirty years old." ”
"Our relationship hasn't been exposed yet!" Zhang Chu said, "Yunxi is on the rise now, and it's very unfair for her to get married now." ”
Zhang Pu nodded.
If the relationship is exposed, the popularity will definitely be affected to some extent, let alone get married.
Guo Yunxi is now only one step away from the first line, and his popularity is not stable enough.
The exposure of her relationship with Zhang Chu will not have a great impact, but if the marriage is announced, there may be a short-term explosion, but after the heat dissipates, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to enter the front line.
"Grandpa, they're there, you settle it yourself. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Guo Yunxi is not very old now, and she probably doesn't want to get married!
As for Zhang Chu, maybe it's okay to tie it, or it's okay not to tie it!
Zhang Pu is too lazy to worry about this!
He hasn't dealt with his own, so where is he still idle to care about others.
"You don't care about killing or burying it!" Zhang Chu said helplessly.
"Are you going back for the Chinese New Year this year?" Zhang Pu asked casually.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back until the New Year. Zhang Chu said, "The film promotion activities are tightly arranged. ”
"Didn't you want to go over to Yunxi to have a look?" Zhang Pu asked.
"There's a publicity event over there, so I'm afraid I'm going to stop by and pay a visit. Zhang Chu said.
When he talked about this, there was a little nervousness in his eyes.
Zhang Pu was not so busy during this time, otherwise he would not have come to attend the promotional conference of "The Wandering Earth".
When he is not busy, he always finds time to accompany Xu Jiahui.
And Xu Jiahui will also push away a lot of work.
Feelings also need to be managed by both parties.
"It's not a good film. ”
Coming out of the cinema, Xu Jiahui said with a smile, "Christmas and New Year's Day, without you, fans may feel that something is missing." ”
"Where is that exaggerated. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
However, the films released on Christmas and New Year's Day this year do not seem to be doing well at the box office.
The box office of this schedule is estimated to be forty percent less than the previous two years.
He listened to what Han Shan said about this, and he didn't think it would be fake.
"The Shawshank Redemption" was finished, Jiang Yun came back from the United States, Zhang Pu went to his house for dinner, and Zhang Ke and Han Shan were both there at that time.
Zhang Ke's "Jumanji" has been completed for a long time, and a lot of post-production has been completed.
It is estimated that it will be released on May Day next year.
"Director Jiang, I'm afraid this film won't be able to catch up with next year's Oscars. Jiang Xingwen said, "I'm afraid there will be no domestic filmmakers at the Oscars next year." ”
"Not necessarily. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"This year's best word-of-mouth is Lin Mu's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and Director Jia's art film, these two films are afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Oscars. Jiang Xingwen said, "Could it be that other film and television companies still have word-of-mouth masterpieces that have not been released?"
It's not uncommon for a Cannes-winning film to get a nomination at the Oscars.
The Oscars don't seem to be very kind of films like that.
Cannes is more literary, and the Oscars are more commercial.
"I'm talking about 'The Departed'!" Zhang Pu said, "Although the box office of this film is not very good, the reputation is still extremely good." Perhaps, I can be nominated for the best screenplay adaptation with this film!"
The original version won the award for Best Adapted Screenwriter.
won the award, Zhang Pu had little confidence.
After all, the world is different.
can get a nomination, the odds should still be very high.
"I really forgot about this film. Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said.
"The Departed" is jointly invested and produced by Oriental DreamWorks and Universal Pictures.
The North American box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, the domestic box office was less than 800 million, and the global cumulative box office exceeded 400 million US dollars.
It seems to be quite a bit higher than the original.
This film naturally made money, but the investment was not small, and it didn't make much money.
For Oriental DreamWorks, that's it.
It is estimated that the company does not earn much more than Zhang Pu personally.
You must know that to adapt this film, Zhang Pu took the copyright fee.
"However, even if you are shortlisted for this film, I am afraid you will not go to the Oscar ceremony, right?" Jiang Xingwen continued.
Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
It seems that I really can't go.
Because at the time of the Oscars, Zhang Pu estimated that he was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", and it is very likely that he will shoot at a critical time.
He will definitely not leave the crew and go to the Oscars.
"Oriental DreamWorks has been at the Oscars for several years in a row, and it doesn't matter if you're absent for a year. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I just don't know how the company's films will perform at this year's Golden Dragon Awards." ”
"Except for "I Am Not the God of Medicine", other films may not do much. Jiang Xingwen said.
This year, Oriental DreamWorks invested in the production of films, including "East Becomes West", which was released during the Spring Festival, there are only three.
"Wolf Warrior" estimates that except for the best action design, which has a chance to win the award, the others may not even get a nomination.
As for "East Becomes West", if this film can be shortlisted, it can only be said that the Golden Dragon Award has declined.
"You have to save some face for other film and television companies!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
It's just that I can't keep it.
If there is a chance to sweep, how will you let it go?
The popularity of the films released on New Year's Day and Christmas gradually dissipated, and the films of the Spring Festival file became the focus of fans' attention.
The publicity of "The Wandering Earth" is getting bigger and bigger, especially after "The Shawshank Redemption" was completed, and Deng Kun returned to China to participate in the publicity.
A week before the Spring Festival, "The Wandering Earth" began to be screened.
The first screening was held in a theater owned by Yanboe DreamWorks.
The film's main creators, Oriental DreamWorks executives, were all present, and many filmmakers, film critics, and media reporters were also invited.
The first screening, there were no fans.
It's not much different from the premiere.
"Is this film really as good as you boasted?" Zhang Ke asked Zhang Pu with a smile, "This time your style is very different from the past!"
Wen Hao is not well-known in the circle, and he has not filmed any major productions. It's not just fans who have doubts about this film, but also people in the industry.
"I, Zhang Pu, never brag. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
