Chapter 293: Is it too late for me to regret it now?

At the end of the film, there was a moment of silence in the theater, and then applause rang out.

It's a wonderful adventure film, but it's very different from those Hollywood treasure hunting adventure films.

There are too many Chinese elements in it.

Although the narrative mode largely adopts the model of Hollywood adventure films.

But this is definitely an adventure film that belongs to China.

Zhang Pu's version of "Looking for the Dragon" takes the original version as a reference and makes some adjustments.

The overall story push is no longer so blunt, and the emotional push of the main plot is also better resonant. The clash of ideas between the pros and cons is also stronger.

The villain is undoubtedly better than the original. Plus, the special effects are clearly better than the original.

Although this film is not a 3D version.

Of course, do you say that this film is flawless?

Naturally, it can't be.

But Jedi is a film that doesn't hide its flaws.

After the applause, Zhang Pu and the main creative staff took the stage to accept questions from some media reporters.

Subsequently, Zhang Pu invited everyone to dinner.

"It's expected to break two billion, right?" Xu Ming said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

After watching the film, he felt more stressed.

Moreover, according to Chen Huatao, Zhang Pu didn't even plan to write a script.

Adapting the script is probably also a problem!

Xu Ming has a study of the original work of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and it can be seen that this film has further expanded on the original tomb visit storyline, with full emotions of the characters and a rich and complete storyline.

This film inherits the essence of the original book and makes a reasonable adaptation, using an authentic "touching gold" process to deduce a ups and downs adventure story, stripping away the "tomb robbery" layer, the movie is also flesh and blood.

The success of this drama has a great relationship with the adaptation of the script in addition to the special effects, costumes and props, and the portrayal of their respective roles by the actors.

Even though the pressure is high, Xu Ming is even more excited about this series of films.

"Why do you always ask me this question?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said a little speechlessly, "The two billion box office mark, where is it so easy to break!"

None of the originals reached the box office of two billion.

Of course, the original version was released, although the market was larger than it is today, but when it was released, there were still two blockbusters competing with it, diverting many box offices.

And this time, it is a dominant family, and there is no opponent at all.

Not to mention anything else, the film schedule is very amazing.

The original special effects were pretty good, but judging from the development of the special effects at that time, there was a lot of room for improvement.

And Zhang Pu's special effects in this version of "Looking for the Dragon" are much stronger than the original version, and the development of special effects today is far less than when the original version was made.

The special effects of Zhang Pu's version of "Looking for the Dragon" are amazing.

To what extent the box office of the film can reach, Zhang Pu is really not sure.

Is it expected to break 2 billion?

Not to mention, there is hope!

It's just hope.

"Breaking the 2 billion box office mark, today's Chinese film market has this potential. Xu Ming said, "If you say which film has the best chance, it is undoubtedly your film." This is recognized in the circle. ”

"You think too highly of me. Zhang Pu shook his head.

This is really not modest.

"Why, you are so unconfident?" Xu Ming said with a smile.

He is sure that the box office of this film on the first day can break the single-day box office record in China.

"I'm actually more optimistic about "The Wandering Earth" directed by Wen Hao!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Chinese movie fans have been suffering from Chinese science fiction films for a long time. ”

"If "The Wandering Earth" can make a Hollywood science fiction film, the hope of breaking 2 billion is really not small. Xu Ming nodded and said.

The premise is that "The Wandering Earth" is of sufficient level.

But this is the difficulty of Chinese science fiction films.

"The special effects of "Dragon Quest" are produced by the special effects company under Oriental DreamWorks?" Xu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked.

"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded with a smile and said, "I can pat my chest and say that Xuanying Digital Special Effects Company is definitely the top special effects company in China." ”

Xuanying Digital Special Effects Co., Ltd., which is the name of the special effects company under Oriental DreamWorks.

Like Oriental DreamWorks, after Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong acquired it, they did not change their names at all.

"I don't know, I thought I was looking for a special effects company in Hollywood!" Xu Ming nodded, seemingly agreeing with Zhang Pu's words.

This can be seen from the special effects in "Dragon Quest".

Maybe not as good as the special effects companies in Hollywood, but it's definitely not far off.

"Sooner or later, catch up. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Oriental DreamWorks doesn't know how much money it has invested in, even if the business is booming now, covering more than half of the domestic special effects production, Zhang Pu and others are still throwing money into it.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Huatao walked over with a smile and said.

"Talk about you, a super first-line star, finally have a high-grossing film that can be handled. Xu Ming said with a smile.

When Chen Huatao heard this, he was embarrassed.

Chen Huatao is a super first-line star, but none of the movies he starred in broke one billion at the box office.

In fact, almost all of the actors from Xiangjiang are like this.

Because none of the films that broke the box office of one billion came to Xiangjiang.

Among the actors from Xiangjiang, Zhou Chaohua barely broke this embarrassing situation with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The reason why he is reluctant is because he is not the male number one.

Chen Huatao can be firmly in the top line, and there is no reason why he has been popular for a long time.

Of course, the box office is only one of the factors that measure whether a star is above the first line.

The next day, Zhang Pu did not run the promotion again, but asked Xu Ming to talk about the adaptation of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of movies.

I have to say that Xu Ming has a lot of insights into this series and has obviously done his homework.

The promotion of the film did not stop because of Zhang Pu's absence, and Chen Huatao and other leading actors of the film are still running around to promote.

Christmas and New Year's Day schedule, the only blockbuster, the momentum is so loud that you can imagine.

Moreover, Oriental DreamWorks wants to break the box office record, and has also increased investment in publicity.

Major media outlets, as well as film critics, also touted the film.

The reason why this is so, in addition to the amazing quality of the film itself, may have something to do with the publicity and public relations of Oriental DreamWorks.

Under such momentum, the high schedule of films naturally broke the record.

December 24th, Christmas Eve, Friday.

In the evening, as soon as the peak period of movie-watching arrived, the real-time box office of "Looking for the Dragon" skyrocketed instantly.

Those who paid attention were all surprised.

I'm afraid this film is really about to break the single-day box office record.

Although I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but be surprised.

The next day, Christmas, Zhang Pu did not have the habit of this festival.

However, the interior of the company has been simply decorated, which has a bit of a Christmas atmosphere, at least there is a large Christmas tree in the hall.

"The box office statistics on the first day are out, it should be good, right?" Zhang Pu said with a smile when he saw Jiang Xingwen coming in with a smile on his face.

"How much do you guess?"

Jiang Xingwen said with a smile, but he didn't wait to tell Zhang Pu the good news, but hung his appetite.

"Breaking 200 million?" Zhang Pu said.

"Hmm!" Jiang Xingwen nodded and said excitedly, "Not only did it break 200 million, but it was as high as more than 240 million! ”

"Really?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "This Saturday, do you think you will break yesterday's box office record?"

To be honest, the single-day box office exceeded 200 million, and Zhang Pu was not surprised at all.

The film schedule of this film is amazing, and in the absence of competitors, if it can't even break the box office of 200 million, it will be a bit of a failure.

"It's very likely!" Jiang Xingwen heard this, but his eyes lit up.

Of course, it's only possible.

The single-day box office of most films is basically the highest first-day box office.

The single-day box office of "Looking for the Dragon" exceeded 200 million, and it was as high as more than 240 million, which undoubtedly made many people desperate!

Perhaps, in the past year or two, it will be difficult for a film to break!

A good schedule, only one blockbuster movie will be released like this time, it is estimated that it will not appear!

Blockbusters are released at the same time, which will inevitably divert the box office.

However, what many people didn't expect was that this record was quickly broken.

The second day of the release of "Dragon Quest", Saturday, rest day, and Christmas again.

The number of moviegoers has increased, and for fans, "Dragon Hunting" is definitely the first choice, although it is not the only choice.

If the film schedule is high enough and the attendance rate increases, then the box office of the film will naturally rise.

As soon as the box office of the film came out on the second day, countless people were stunned.

The single-day box office exceeded 260 million, and the two-day box office exceeded 500 million!

This achievement is undoubtedly blinding the eyes of countless people.

The box office of 500 million is probably the goal that countless directors are striving for.

But Zhang Pu broke it in two days.

It seems that the small goal of one billion at the box office will not be reached in a long time.

What about the big goals?

Many people predict that it will be no problem for this film to break 2 billion.

"Do you think it's too late for me to regret it now?" Xu Ming turned his head to look at his assistant and said with a wry smile.

"Are you willing?" said his assistant, smiling.

"It's a lot of pressure!" Xu Ming shook his head and said with some sighs.

I just negotiated with Oriental DreamWorks two days ago to take over the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, but who would have thought that "Looking for the Dragon" broke the box office of 500 million in two days!

This pressure is not ordinary!

And this film is not only amazing at the box office, but also has an excellent reputation, especially recognized by fans of the original book.

Recognized by fans of the original work, this difficulty is not ordinary!

High reputation, high box office!

If you want to surpass, or even reach the level of "Dragon Hunting", I'm afraid the difficulty is not ordinary.

This series is a chicken that lays golden eggs!

If he messes this up, who will dare to ask him to film in the future?

But he couldn't bear it!

He is sure that there are definitely many directors who want to take over the series.

Of course, there aren't many who are qualified to take over.

But he's not the only one.

For example, Wu Zhijun of Orange Entertainment.

If Oriental DreamWorks uses this series to poach people, nine times out of ten it can poach Wu Zhijun.

The reason why he Xu Ming was able to take over was nothing more than that he had some friendship with Zhang Pu and was recommended by Chen Huatao.

He took such a good project, how could he give up?

He said that nothing more than to express his shock at the box office of "Dragon Quest".
