Why did Zhang Pu find Su Sheng to be the male lead in his next film?

It's nothing more than picking up leaks.

Zhang Pu has great confidence in "Farewell My Concubine", and Su Sheng has a great possibility of becoming popular with the role of Cheng Dieyi. Perhaps, you can get a few actors back.

At that time, his net worth must have skyrocketed, and his salary naturally rose.

Signing him at this time, not to mention saving money, can also use his popularity to bring great attention to the film.

That's a good thing.

Of course, if Su Sheng is not suitable for the male lead in his next film, Zhang Pu will not invite him.

In his previous life, the actor who played Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine" was not also the male number one in the original version of Zhang Pu's new film?

It's just a matter of precedence.

As for why Su Sheng agreed to Zhang Pu's invitation so simply, it was completely for Zhang Pu's name.

After all, he is not popular now, and Zhang Pu's invitation is a rare opportunity for him.

Who wants to miss this opportunity?

Even if Zhang Pu's new film "The Nameless" fluttered during the Spring Festival and his reputation was affected, he did not refuse Zhang Pu's invitation at this time.

He's just a second-tier actor who is half popular but not popular.

During the preparation of "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Pu and Jiang Yun discussed a lot. Zhang Pu's analysis and understanding of this film have also been discussed with Jiang Yun.

Therefore, Zhang Pu did not stay in the crew for long.

After all, I have to participate in the finale banquet of "The Nameless" in the evening.

Why is a low-budget film holding such a high-profile finale banquet?

It's nothing more than to build momentum for this film.

It's December now, and it's only a month before the Spring Festival, and the promotion of the film also needs to be gradually launched.

"Do you really want to be released during the Spring Festival?" Xu Jiadong asked Zhang Pu and said, "I inquired, there are three blockbusters and one quasi-blockbuster released during the Spring Festival. The competition is fiercer than ever. ”

"I've said everything, you won't let me slap my face, will you?" Zhang Pu said.

Of course, Zhang Pu said the same.

If it's really not suitable for the Spring Festival stalls, it doesn't matter if you adjust the files.

"What I mean is that under the attack of three blockbusters and one quasi-blockbuster, "The Nameless" can't get much of a film schedule. Xu Jiadong said.

"How much can you take?" Zhang Pu then asked.

The film schedule is low, Zhang Pu is not surprised.

Although he became famous with two small-budget films, compared with the blockbusters directed by those big directors, his appeal is indeed much smaller.

However, if it's too low, you will definitely have to adjust the schedule, and it doesn't matter if you slap your face, he's thick-skinned anyway.

"Fifteen percent at most!" Xu Jiadong said, "It's hard to compare the film schedule with those three blockbusters, and I can only guarantee that it is not worse than that quasi-blockbuster." ”

"That's enough!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Which films are of what genre?"

As Zhang Pu expected, it was already good for "Nobody" to get 10% of the film schedule.

The original version of "Nobody" rushed out without any publicity, relying on word-of-mouth, and under the attack of two Hollywoods, it won nearly 800 million box office.

Zhang Pu believes that he stands on the shoulders of giants and will not be worse.

What's more, compared with the original version, Zhang Pu's version of "The Nameless" has already set off a topic from the startup, and it can be said that there is a world of difference in publicity.

The Spring Festival file, like the National Day file, although there is no explicit rule, there is a potential rule, that is, there will be no Hollywood blockbusters.

This can also be regarded as a kind of protection for domestic films.

Hollywood moviesHollywood movies have swept the world, and Chinese films are difficult to match, so it can only be so.

Without Hollywood blockbusters, the competitiveness of "Nobody" will definitely be improved compared to the original.

"The historical blockbuster "Qin Huang" produced by Orange and Yellow Entertainment, the action blockbuster "Black Panther" by Zhongrun Pictures, and an action comedy film "The Thief Doesn't Go Empty" in Xiangjiang, these three films are all big star productions, and the investment of "Qin Huang" is said to be nearly 300 million. In addition, the quasi-blockbuster is "Family Fun" by Light and Shadow Entertainment, which is not difficult to see from the title that it is a comedy. ”

Zhang Pu nodded, the quasi-blockbuster of Light and Shadow Entertainment looked like it was going to the Spring Festival stalls.

The four major domestic film and television companies, Guangyun Film and Television did not participate in this year's Spring Festival file fight.

However, there is also one more Xiangjiang blockbuster.

The decline of Xiangjiang movies, the box office appeal of Xiangjiang directors and Xiangjiang actors in the mainland is not as good as before, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Zhang Pu will not despise that film.

During the Spring Festival, it is naturally impossible for only five new films to be released, and almost all of the rest are cannon fodder, and Xu Jiadong naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

"Isn't it stressful?" asked Xu Jiadong.

"There's definitely pressure, but it's not as big as you think. Zhang Pu said, ""The Nameless" has a box office of over 100 million, and it will be able to return to its original cost. I don't believe that my film won 15% of the film schedule during the Spring Festival, and the box office can't exceed 100 million. ”

"Why don't you also screen "Nobody" and win by word of mouth?" Xu Jiadong suggested.

Whether it is "Crazy Stone" or "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", they all win by word of mouth.

"It depends on whether the post-production is done smoothly. Zhang Pu said.

"Loyal Dog Rhubarb" tasted the sweetness of screening, and if possible, Zhang Pu is naturally happy to do so.

He is still extremely confident in the reputation of his film.

The finale banquet of "The Nameless" was still very lively, and all the main creators of the movie were present.

Naturally, there were a lot of media reporters.

Some controversies about this film were naturally asked by reporters again.

"As I said, I'm not going to ignore the quality of the film in order to catch up. I'm not going to be foolish enough to throw away the reputation I've built up so hard. Zhang Pu said, "The reason why the filming cycle is only one month is because of the actors' efforts, the filming is very smooth, and some difficult scenes can be passed over and over again." I'm sure you'll see them in action when the film is released. ”

"The competition for the Spring Festival stalls is very fierce, which is a well-known thing. Zhang Pu said, "I believe that "Nobody" will not be buried. A good movie has nothing to do with the size of the investment. This is best demonstrated by my first two films. And a good movie, no matter what schedule it is, will shine with its own light. ”

......

Zhang Pu finished dealing with reporters, but naturally he had to deal with the people who came to cheer.

In addition to some actors, there are also many high-level executives of film and television companies.

It is not difficult to guess what the purpose of those people is.

Although they are not optimistic about Zhang Pu's movie, they also don't understand why Zhang Pu wants to put this movie in the Spring Festival.

However, Zhang Pu's ability is worth working with.

"The Nameless" has a total investment of 30 million, Oriental DreamWorks has 20 million, Huaying has 7 million, and the remaining 3 million is Guangyun Film and Television investment.

Three joint issuances.

As a top domestic film and television company, Guangyun Film and Television has no doubt about its distribution ability. This is also the reason why "The Nameless" can get 15% of the film schedule.

Let Guangyun Film and Television become a shareholder, naturally there are considerations in this regard.
