There is no doubt that the box office of "East Becomes West" far exceeded Zhang Pu's expectations.

Well, I don't know how many times this is unexpected by Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu's box office estimate for his film seems to be impossible, and each time it is very different.

But his predictions for other films are not much different every time.

The box office of the original "East Becomes West" does not seem to be very good. Well, at least compared to "Storm and Cloud", it's not good.

Of course, the right time, place and people are different, and this matter cannot be used as a reference.

Zhang Pu's box office estimate for this film is about 100,000. This is still an estimate based on his box office appeal and the blessing of the all-star lineup.

In addition, the suitability of the Spring Festival schedule also plays a high role.

But who would have thought that the box office of the film broke 200 million on the first day, and the box office on the second day was as high as 250 million.

This single-day box office has shocked countless people.

Because although Zhang Ke's "Special Mission" has decreased from the first day, it has also broken 200 million.

The other two broke the box office with more than 100 million.

The cumulative box office in a single day has undoubtedly broken a new record.

Market!

Such a box office is inevitably related to the vigorous development of the domestic film market.

But even so, the film "Driven Out" by "East Becomes West" is not so ferocious, right?

Zhang Ke's "Special Mission" has achieved a very good box office in North America!

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jiahui saw that when Zhang Pu learned about the box office of "East Becomes West" on the second day, her expression was different, and she immediately asked.

""East Becomes West" is so popular that it feels unreal!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

"Who told you to give your film a seriously low box office estimate every time?" Xu Jiahui pouted.

Can I be blamed for this?

Wasn't I influenced by the box office of the original?

"Why do you think this film is so popular?" Zhang Pu said.

He himself was a little incomprehensible.

Why is this happening every time?

The market is so big that it is naturally not comparable to the original film when it was released.

But it can be multiplied several times or even more than ten times each time.

Who knows!

"The Richest Man in Tomatoes" is much lower than the original box office!

I can't figure it out!

"Why is it so popular?" Xu Jiahui said, "It's not simple, I like it." ”

"Why do you like it?" Zhang Pu then asked.

"It can make people laugh without any scruples, why don't you like it?" Xu Jiahui said.

Zhang Pu didn't ask anymore, he knew very well that he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.

Perhaps, fans at this time are far more stressed than when the original version was released, and they need to decompress.

Perhaps, with the development of the times, this style can be accepted by more people.

Whatever the reason, Zhang Pu didn't plan to delve into it.

He has no intention of continuing to make films in this style.

Zhang Pu doesn't delve into it, but other film and television companies want to analyze it.

Zhang Pu doesn't shoot, but other film and television companies are already preparing to follow suit and shoot similar films.

The box office of "East Becomes West" is too amazing and too eye-catching.

People in the circle know very well that the investment in this film is probably less than 20 million!

Yes, less than 20 million!

And Ni Qian and Liu Shiyan both have a salary of nearly 10 million.

None of the artists under Oriental DreamWorks get paid, and all of them get dividends.

There is no doubt that they are getting much more than they are paid this time.

Of course, even so, this film is also the lion's share of Oriental DreamWorks.

"East Becomes West" was a box office hit, which undoubtedly increased the enthusiasm of many actors for publicity.

Since the second day of its release, this film has won the single-day box office championship, and it has not come down.

The cumulative box office in three days was nearly 700 million, more than 800 million in four days, 1 billion in five days, and 1.2 billion in six days.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, many office workers began to go to work, and the first peak of watching movies during the Spring Festival ended.

And Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui also returned to Yanjing.

The promotion of "East City and West West" stopped because of this.

Judging from the current situation, this film is undoubtedly expected to break 2 billion.

And Zhang Pu is also expected to become the first director with a box office of more than 10 billion with this film.

So how did Oriental DreamWorks reduce the publicity of the film?

The title of "10 billion director" is not only for Zhang Pu personally, but also for Oriental DreamWorks, which definitely has unimaginable benefits.

If you can rush, why not push harder?

When Zhang Pu returns to Yanjing, he will also participate in some publicity activities.

"I didn't expect the film "East Becomes West" to explode to such an extent. Jiang Xingwen said with some sighs.

He had confidence in the film, but it wasn't that high.

Even before, it was thought that the all-star lineup was too high, which led to a high cost, which made it risky.

Who would have thought that this film would be such a box office hit.

If he had known this, perhaps he would not have agreed to Zhang Pu's suggestion of actor dividends.

This film is undoubtedly a start.

However, he has nothing to say, Tang Rui and others proposed not to get paid and get dividends, and "East Becomes West" has not been released at all!

They actors are more confident in this film than themselves, the general manager.

What else could he say?

Of course, there are not many actors who are willing to do this without getting paid and dividends.

If the film loses, it's not just as simple as doing it for nothing.

There is nothing wrong with taking too much risk and how much profit you get.

What's more, there are no other investors in "East Becomes West".

At most, it is just giving the share of other investors to the company's artists.

Let them feel more like they belong to the company, so why not?

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that almost all of Oriental DreamWorks' films were making a lot of money, it is estimated that Tang Rui would not have a salary and no dividends.

"I didn't expect that either. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

He really didn't expect it.

In his opinion, this film will break one billion box office, but who would have thought that it would go to two billion.

Perhaps, it can also become the second film to break 2 billion after "Looking for the Dragon".

I don't understand!

""East Becomes West" is popular, and it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of works that follow the trend. Jiang Xingwen said, "Whether it's the style or the all-star lineup." ”

"There's no way around it. Zhang Pu shook his head.

The national situation is like this, what can I do?

Many of Zhang Pu's films have been followed.

"Looking for the Dragon" became popular, and tomb robbery and adventure films immediately flooded.

Of course, most of them are shoddy at a small cost.

Follow Zhang Pu's big investment films, they also have to get so much investment!

If you can't pull it, you can only get a low-profile copycat version.

But "East Becomes West" does not have such a problem.

Aside from the all-star cast, the production cost of this film is very limited.

This type of film is the easiest to follow.

Still, there are some risks associated with imitation.

Follow the trend, maybe you just saw the spoof in it, but you didn't realize what nonsense is.

Imitating it is not descript, I am afraid it will only backfire.

"Do you want to come again for the Spring Festival next year?" Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

Jiang Xingwen actually knows that the box office miracle of this kind of film is difficult to replicate.

However, the benefits are too tempting.

What's more, for others, it may be difficult. But for Zhang Pu, it is not necessarily at all.

"You've said that following the trend will be rampant. The audience will inevitably be aesthetically fatigued. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Making another film like this is very risky." ”

Jiang Xingwen smiled, and he said that.

With his understanding of Zhang Pu, he probably doesn't want to make such a film.

Of course, Zhang Pu estimated that he didn't have time.

Lin Mu was very interested in this style of comedy, and even intended to give it a try. Jiang Xingwen said.

"If he's interested, he can talk to me. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "By the way, how is the post-production of "I Am Not the God of Medicine"?"

"It's almost there!" Jiang Xingwen said.

"What about The Wandering Earth?" Zhang Pu then asked.

The post-production of Jiang Yun's "Truman's World" has been completed a long time ago, and Zhang Pu still knows about it.

Oriental DreamWorks now has three films that have not been released.

And that's just the works of the company's directors, and if you count the investments, it's even more.

"If you rush to the summer file, it is estimated that it is a little hanging. Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day files, it is estimated that there is no problem. Jiang Xingwen said.

Wen Hao has very strict requirements for the special effects of "The Wandering Earth", the post-production cycle far exceeds expectations, and the production cost naturally far exceeds the budget.

The investment in this film has been increased several times.

However, Jiang Xingwen has seen some of the scenes in it, but he is still very confident in this film.

So there is no opinion on overtime and overbudgeting.

"Then put it in the Spring Festival stalls!" Zhang Pu said after thinking about it.

The original "The Wandering Earth" seems to be a box office miracle created by the Spring Festival.

Jiang Xingwen nodded, he obviously also felt that it was most appropriate to put "The Wandering Earth" in the Spring Festival file.

"Director Jiang's "Truman's World" is placed in the summer file? Wen Hao's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is placed in the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day?" Jiang Xingwen continued, "Can your new film be in time for Christmas and New Year's Day?"

"I have to talk to Mr. Han about my new film first! This film needs the support of the army. Zhang Pu said, "As for when the other films will be released, you guys will see what to do?"

When the film was released, Zhang Pu rarely gave his own opinions except for his own films.

Zhang Pu's new film: "Wolf Warrior"!

Moreover, he is ready to shoot two films in a row.

Of course, it's a continuous shot rather than a joint shot.

Zhang Pu's version of "Wolf Warrior" is a little different from the original, he is not short of funds, and on top of the scene, he is naturally upgraded.

In addition, the script has also been modified somewhat.

Whether it is Zhang Chu or Tan Siming, they all gave some opinions on the revision.

In Zhang Pu's view, the revised script has a bigger scene and a more burning plot.

"He'll probably persuade you too. Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said.

Military action movies?

Is there such a film in China?

Yes!

And there are a lot of such films, which are mostly crowned with the hat of "main theme", and the box office is almost a bit miserable.

Of course, the "main theme" of Zhang Pu's film is still the same, but there are many more commercial elements.

Jiang Xingwen is obviously not optimistic about this kind of film.

He persuaded Zhang Pu, but he didn't.

Zhang Pu is sometimes very receptive to opinions, but when he gets tough, he can't listen to any opinions.

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
