Chapter 324: Feng Jiashan: I didn't make much of a fuss
The box office competition for the Spring Festival stalls is fierce, but the number of moviegoers is the largest one.
Other better schedules can accommodate two films with a box office of more than one billion at the same time, which may be the limit, but the Spring Festival schedule may be able to accommodate three, or even four.
Don't look at "East Becomes West" ranked fourth, but the box office estimate given by this film is also over one billion.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the explosion of the market today.
Now the Chinese film market is in a big explosion stage, and the total box office is higher than year by year.
If "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "Xingtian" were released at the same time last year, I am afraid that the box office of the two films would be less than 20%.
In this case, is "East Becomes West" expected to break 2 billion?
It's hard to say.
Zhang Pu has an all-star lineup in this film, and his film reputation has always been amazing.
His own box office appeal is also extremely high.
But after all, this film is "rushed", which inevitably makes people lack confidence in it.
Only after the film is released, if the performance is amazing, it is not impossible.
Then Zhang Pu may not have the opportunity to be promoted to become the first 10 billion director with this film.
Tens of billions of screenwriters and tens of billions of directors must be different.
Zhang Pu doesn't think that he can be promoted to a 10 billion director with this film, but Huang Ye will definitely be able to become a 10 billion actor with this film.
If he becomes the first 10 billion actor, it can be said that he has a halo, and for him, the benefits are unimaginable.
The results of the press conference were undoubtedly striking.
The trailer also landed on major video websites immediately, and the clicks were amazing.
Some netizens ridiculed that this film can count stars.
Of course, the hottest topic is not this.
Can Zhang Pu be promoted to 10 billion directors?
Huang Ye is about to be promoted to 10 billion actors.
This topic skyrocketed instantly, and it directly appeared on the topic list.
Then the film "East Becomes West" has undoubtedly attracted much attention.
A film is about to produce a 10 billion actor, and it is expected to produce a 10 billion director.
This undoubtedly gives this film a special meaning.
"When will Director Jia's film be released?" Zhang Pu asked Huang Ye with a smile.
Huang Ye's best chance to win the actor award is undoubtedly this film.
Tens of billions of actors and tens of billions of actors, the weight is naturally different.
"I should go to Cannes first!" Huang Ye said.
Zhang Pu nodded, not surprised by this.
Domestic literary films will basically go through major foreign film festivals first.
It's not just about winning awards, it's about selling copyrights.
It is undoubtedly difficult for literary films to recoup their costs with the domestic box office.
Why did Jia Bo fall in love with Huang Ye?
In addition to the investment of Oriental DreamWorks, the most important thing is that he has acting skills and high box office appeal.
Of course, I guess the role is quite suitable for him.
The Spring Festival is gradually approaching, and the topics in the entertainment industry basically revolve around the Spring Festival Gala and the Spring Festival stalls.
The Spring Festival Gala is not just the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The topic of the Spring Festival Gala of the local station is also extremely high.
Zhang Pu received a lot of invitations, and some TV stations were even willing to give him a minute to promote "East Becomes West".
However, Zhang Pu still refused.
The reason why he refused was not because of how much resistance he had to perform on stage, but because the Spring Festival Gala of the local TV station was either the twenty-ninth or the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On the twenty-ninth of this year, he had to go to Xu Jiahui's house.
In the evening, I had to fly back to my hometown.
Relatively speaking, during the Spring Festival, Zhang Pu prefers to spend time with his family.
What's more, the publicity of "East Becomes West" is in place, and it is not necessary to go to the TV station to promote it, and it may not cause some viewers to be disgusted!
"Is Brother Chu going home for the New Year this year, or going to Yunxi's house for the New Year?" Xu Jiahui asked Zhang Pu casually.
"He?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "It depends on when Director Yuan's drama will be completed." ”
Yuan Hong's drama was launched in early December to promote the movie, and Zhang Chu also took a few leaves, which also delayed some time.
Whether it can be completed before the Spring Festival is a question.
"Isn't Director Yuan's filming always fast?" Xu Jiahui said, "The last time you went to visit the class, you didn't see the filming progress?"
"I'm not going to visit the class, I'm going to make a cameo. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Although Director Yuan's drama Oriental DreamWorks also invested, it was not the leader. What's more, both of them have to participate in the promotion of "East Becomes West", how many star artists in the circle can celebrate the New Year in a down-to-earth manner?"
It's not the company's play, so Zhang Pu naturally didn't ask too much.
He just went to make a cameo and didn't stay long.
What's more, when the film is finished, Zhang Chu will also participate in the promotion of "East Becomes West".
"East Becomes West" was released, Zhang Pu could run back to his hometown for the New Year, but Zhang Chu had to run a roadshow.
Before the publicity, he basically didn't participate in the publicity because of filming.
"Accompany me to watch "East Becomes West" during the Spring Festival!" Xu Jiahui said, "Xiao Xue accompanied me to watch "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World". ”
"Okay!" Zhang Pu nodded.
Zhang Pu's works, even if they are screenwriters, Xu Jiahui has never missed them.
At the end of the year, Xu Jiahui was very busy!
Zhang Pu is naturally very busy when he wants to promote "East Becomes West".
Lovers in the circle, gather less and leave more, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui are much better.
But compared to ordinary lovers, the time together is also limited.
However, Xu Jiahui's dedication is not heavy.
Many times, when Zhang Pu is free, she will directly push off her job.
The relationship between the two has not been diluted because of less gathering and more separation, but it has become better.
How far a couple of lovers can go and whether they keep going is not the key to whether they like it or not, but whether it is suitable or not.
The publicity of "East Becomes West" is not as mainly centered around him as Zhang Pu's previous films.
Who made the cast of this film strong enough?
Of course, Zhang Pu basically participated in the pre-promotional activities of this film.
"Director Zhang, among the films released at the same time, which film do you think poses the greatest threat to "East Becomes West"? Is it "Special Mission" directed by Zhang Ke?"
During the publicity period, "East Becomes West" was naturally inevitably compared with other films by media reporters.
"Why do you embarrass the other two directors by saying that?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, ""East Becomes West" is a comedy, and it also incorporates some action, which is different from the genre of other films, and the fan base is also different. Naturally, there is no threat or no threat. ”
When the reporter heard this, he pouted.
Is there no competition if the fan groups are different?
Apparently impossible.
Zhang Pu is using this to perfunctory them!
However, the reporters didn't say anything.
This question is asked to other directors, and the answer is not much different.
It's all old fritters, who will answer directly.
If you say that this film is a threat to you, then it is estimated that the media will say that you look down on other films.
If you offend the creator of the film, you may also get their fans.
Why bother?
Three blockbusters, one with an all-star cast.
Four films compete, and it is naturally not so easy for media reporters to pull them into the ring to compare whether they are good or bad, and to win or lose.
However, if you want to say who is the most threatening of the three films, it must be Zhang Ke's "Special Mission".
In terms of box office appeal, Zhang Keneng is also compared with Zhang Pu, and as far as the film is concerned, "Special Mission" has been tested by the North American market.
Although it has not been detained as a "money-making work", there are also many doubts.
This is also the reason why "Special Mission" has the most films.
The Spring Festival is approaching.
"Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "Xingtian" are about to be painted.
The former has won 1.8 billion at the box office, while "Xingtian" is only 1.2 billion.
Far from it.
There is no doubt that Feng Jiashan was planted in Zhang Pu's hands again.
Of course, it didn't make much of a big mistake, at most it was not so good-looking on the face.
The film "Xingtian", relying only on the domestic box office, not only recouped its cost, but also made a little profit. Coupled with the share of foreign box office and copyright income, this film still brings a lot of profits to Orange Entertainment.
However, compared with "Storm and Clouds", it is a bit insufficient.
The box office of "Storm and Storm" in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia is much higher than that in China.
If it weren't for the different proportions, it might be higher than the domestic revenue.
This does not include countries and regions such as Europe and the United States.
In these countries and regions, some of them sell copyrights directly, while others receive box office dividends.
There is no harm without contrast.
In addition, there is another reason, which is nothing more than that Orange Entertainment has blown up the bull during the promotion, and it is suspected of slapping the face.
At the end of the year, Oriental DreamWorks naturally held its annual meeting as always.
The films released this year are far inferior to last year, counting "Thai Embarrassment" released during the Spring Festival, there are only three movies.
"Thai Embarrassment", "Ip Man", "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World"!
Although only three films have been released, Oriental DreamWorks' revenue this year is no worse than last year.
The main thing is that the income from variety shows is amazing.
In addition, the income of artists is also extremely good.
Earnings from TV dramas have also increased.
Therefore, the red envelopes sent this year are no less than last year.
The company's employees are also smiling.
"Excuse me, or is it finished?" Zhang Pu asked Zhang Chu with a smile.
Zhang Chu's harvest this year is undoubtedly great.
A "Ip Man", a "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and a variety show.
Now it's just one foot away from the line.
After the release of "East Becomes West", nine times out of ten it will be promoted to the first line, and it is still a very popular kind.
Film appointments, announcements, endorsements......
Zhang Chu has gained more than just popularity and popularity this year.
In the entertainment industry, fame, fame and fortune, fame and fortune are naturally beneficial.
"It's done. Zhang Chu said, "When are you going back?"
In two months, the film was completed.
With the speed of Yuanhong's team, there is nothing surprising to come.
"Ming'er is going to Jiahui's house, the plane at night. Zhang Pu said, "What about you?"
"I'll go back early tomorrow morning. Zhang Chu said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a publicity activity in Rongcheng. ”
"Where's Yunxi?" asked Zhang Pu.
"Come back with me. Zhang Chu said, "She will also participate in the promotional activities in Rongcheng." What about you?"
"I? Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
Jiang Xingwen mentioned it to him, but his answer was the same.
Zhang Pu is not only a director, but also a boss, Jiang Xingwen naturally will not force it.
