Chapter 348: Zhang Pu has high hopes for you
Because it's still in theaters, I like it the most.
This reason is so powerful that it is difficult to refute and somewhat speechless.
And this ad placement is even more unexpected.
"What about "Wolf Warrior"?" Dong Lan said with a smile, "If you were to rank your films, how would you rank them?"
That's a difficult question to answer. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "If you have to choose one, maybe it's "Crazy Stone", right?"
Among the many films, "Wolf Warrior" is undoubtedly the most modified.
The film has a reference to the original, but it has departed from the original.
And the success of this film, Zhang Pu's sense of accomplishment is naturally the greatest.
However, this is obviously not something to say.
"Because that film is your first film, it has a special meaning for you?" Dong Lan said.
"Crazy Stone" is the lowest box office among Zhang Pu's many films.
Whether it was Dong Lan or the audience, they were still a little surprised by Zhang Pu's answer.
"Because this film is the hardest to make. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
Why is it difficult?
Zhang Pu didn't say it, but everyone knew.
This film couldn't attract investment at the beginning, and Zhang Pu pooled his own money to set up a crew to shoot, but he still encountered great difficulties on the way.
Even if the filming was completed, it almost failed to be released.
And the later stage of this film is almost covered by Zhang Pu alone.
"I have almost done everything from the preparation, shooting, post-production, and release of this film. Zhang Pu continued, "And the later films, even if they are big productions, do not consume as much energy as this film." ”
Since the beginning of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", Zhang Pu has already entered the Oriental DreamWorks, with the participation of the company, whether it is preparation, shooting, post-production, or release, etc., Zhang Pu has obviously spent a lot less energy.
"Then among your works, which film is the most relaxed?" Dong Lan asked with a smile.
The previous issue obviously couldn't be talked about deeply, although the show was recorded and broadcast, but as soon as Zhang Puruo was really emotional, it was not good to talk about the grievances between him and Huang Ze.
It can be cut off in the later stage, but it is inevitable that there will be some traces, which will make the audience unhappy.
"Let's go to the west!" Zhang Pu said, "When this film was filmed, the company coordinated all aspects in place, and many actors were also very good. The only difficulty is estimated to be that during the filming, the actors couldn't help laughing from time to time. ”
"Then have you ever thought that the box office of this film will break two billion?" Dong Lan continued.
Among Zhang Pu's many films, if there is any film with the most unexpected box office, it is definitely "East Becomes West"!
Who would have thought that such a spoof comedy would break two billion.
Even an all-star lineup is unimaginable.
There were a lot of follow-up works later, but the box office was not very good.
"I haven't thought about it!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "For this film, I am the most confident in the company." I estimated that the box office at that time was about one billion, and it was still under the situation of the all-star lineup. ”
"The company is not optimistic about this film, and if it uses an all-star cast, the risk is even greater. Zhang Pu continued, "Later, I proposed that if the company's actors wanted, they could convert their salaries into investment and get dividends, so as to reduce the cost of the film and reduce the risk of the film." ”
"They should all choose to get dividends, right?" said Dong Lan with a smile.
"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "After this film, they starred in the company's film and television, and they didn't get paid for dividends." ”
"Is this a taste of sweetness?" Dong Lan said with a smile.
The box office of "East Becomes West" is so amazing, and the actor must get a lot more dividends than the salary.
Moreover, there are few films and television in Oriental DreamWorks that are not profitable.
Especially for big productions, almost all of them are big profits.
What are the ones who are losing money?
is nothing more than those rookie directors supported by Oriental DreamWorks, most of whom are big online movies.
Of course, even if it is a big network, it is more profitable and less losing.
"When they proposed not to get paid and get dividends, "East Becomes West" was still filming. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
The film has not yet been released, so naturally it has not tasted the sweetness yet.
"It seems that the movies and television produced by Oriental DreamWorks haven't lost any money, right?" Dong Landao.
This is probably the reason why Oriental DreamWorks signed artists are willing to get dividends without paying!
There are risks, but compared to other film and television companies, it is obviously much smaller.
"To be precise, theatrical movies and TV series have not lost money. Zhang Pu said, "Online movies, as well as online dramas, some companies still lose money. ”
"Then why do you want to shoot it?" Dong Lan asked.
In the impression of many people, Oriental DreamWorks takes the high-end route.
Whether it is a contracted artist, or a film and television work invested in production.
Oriental DreamWorks invests in the production of online movies and online dramas, and it is estimated that many people don't pay attention to it at all.
"In the film and television industry, who can guarantee that there will be no compensation?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "What's more, the company's investment in filming online movies and online dramas is not just to make money, but more to train and train new talents." ”
"In this industry, there are too few opportunities for newcomers, and it is too difficult to get ahead. Zhang Pu then said with some sighs, "Back then, if anyone was willing to invest in "Crazy Stone", it is estimated that there is no Oriental DreamWorks today. ”
"Crazy Stone" can't attract investment, there is Huang Ze's pot in it, but I'm afraid it's more because Zhang Pu is a newcomer, and the investors don't trust him.
It is difficult for a rookie director to attract millions of investments, which is not what Zhang Pu has experienced alone.
At the beginning, if someone really invested in "Crazy Stone", Zhang Pu would probably sign with that company.
Creation makes people.
This may be fate.
But Zhang Pu can make money and invest on his own, what about the others?
"Not everybody can make their own money to invest in their own movies like you do. Dong Lan said with a smile.
The two chatted without a word.
The content of the conversation naturally revolves around the movie.
"Almost all of your films today are aimed at the domestic film market, and many fans are curious, when will you make a film aimed at the international film market?" Dong Lan asked.
It's not that Zhang Pu can't make films aimed at the international market.
This can be seen from films such as "Truman's World".
He just doesn't shoot.
Why?
Zhang Pu used to say that his own level was not enough, but in the eyes of everyone, it was nothing more than modest words.
The level is not enough, and every film has a high reputation and high box office?
"What about the country that hasn't reached the top yet?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
What does it mean?
Reached the top at home, and then think about going international?
"Isn't "Looking for the Dragon" already at the top of the domestic box office list?" Dong Lan said with a smile.
"Soon it won't. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
"Oh?" Dong Lan said in surprise, "Then which movie do you think will surpass "Dragon Hunting" at the box office?
"Wolf Warrior is not good. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "It's "The Wandering Earth"!"
"If I'm not mistaken, that film was also written by you, right?" Dong Lan was stunned for a moment and said.
Zhang Pu has changed his style from the past and released bold words in the show!
"I didn't direct it!" Zhang Pu said.
You weren't directed, so you just said that?
Zhang Pu said that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" will surpass "Looking for the Dragon"?
After the show is broadcast, this matter will definitely cause heated discussions.
Regardless of the final box office of "The Wandering Earth", after the broadcast of this show, it will definitely make many fans remember this film.
"But the box office of "The Wandering Earth" surpassed "Looking for the Dragon", and then you made another film to surpass it, is there no film in the future that surpasses your film?" Dong Lan said.
"You have a point. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "After "Wolf Warrior 2", I will make a sci-fi blockbuster and officially enter the international market." ”
Dong Lan was stunned for a moment, at this time she understood that Zhang Pu had forcibly implanted the advertisement of "The Wandering Earth" just now!
However, it doesn't hurt either.
It is estimated that this paragraph will not be cut out when the show is cut later in the program.
The show soon came to an end, and Dong Lan mentioned the last time Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui came to participate in the show, and then asked with a smile: "Have you ever considered when to get married?"
When Zhang Pu heard this, he was stunned.
This problem is obviously not in the script.
Aren't we talking about movies?
The hostess is also a woman!
Are women so gossipy?
Zhang Pu saw the gossip fire flashing in Dong Lan's eyes.
"I don't count if I say this alone!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I said before that marriage is a matter of two families. When the result is discussed, I will definitely let you know. ”
Zhang Pu's family and Xu Jiahui's family haven't met yet?
What's more, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui are still young now.
If you get married now, it is estimated that you will be married early in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Pu is only twenty-nine years old, and Xu Jiahui is two years younger than Zhang Pu.
The ratings of the "Listening" program are not very good, but they are not bad either.
However, Zhang Pu, who has not been on the show for a long time, recorded an episode of "Listening", which instantly attracted countless audiences.
The program was broadcast, and the ratings directly hit a new high.
This shows the high popularity of Zhang Pu.
Compared with those so-called popular little fresh meat, I'm afraid it's really a lot worse.
And this show has also caused a lot of topics.
"Director Zhang, you're roasting me on the fire!" Wen Hao shook his head and said.
Zhang Pu is very optimistic about "The Wandering Earth", and he also knows this.
He has a little more confidence in this.
can surpass "Looking for the Dragon" and win the first place at the domestic box office, but Wen Hao has no confidence.
Zhang Pu said this, if the film hits the street, he may suffer more.
It's a lot of pressure!
"I said it, what are you nervous about?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The Wandering Earth" was unsatisfactory at the box office, it was me who was slapped in the face, not you?"
Is this a slap in the face?
Wen Hao couldn't laugh or cry.
He is sure that if "The Wandering Earth" hits the street at the box office, it will definitely not be Zhang Pu who will be scolded, but him.
"Zhang Pu has such high hopes for you, and you actually handed over such an answer sheet?
"A film that can surpass "Looking for the Dragon" was actually filmed like this by you? Are you eating?"
"You have lived up to Zhang Pu's expectations of you......"
Countless insulting voices flashed in Wen Hao's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Isn't that putting me on the fire to roast?
