Chapter 355: Film and Television Peripheral Products
"The Wandering Earth" broke 2 billion at the box office celebration banquet.
Zhang Pu intends to restrain his limelight, but he is still inevitably interviewed by media reporters.
After all, he wrote and supervised the film, and he initially threatened that the film would set a new box office record.
"Director Zhang, have you ever thought that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" would become the first film to break the box office of 3 billion?"
"I've thought about it!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Not to mention breaking three billion, he has thought about breaking four billion.
"Does that mean that you estimated that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" would break 3 billion at the beginning, but you just said that he could break the box office record of "Looking for the Dragon", does that mean that you are still humble?"
Another reporter said with a smile.
It's not like a question, it's a joke.
"You take the ridicule on the Internet seriously!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "A film that everyone is optimistic about, but I firmly believe that it can set a new box office record? This is also called humility? This is very arrogant, right!"
When you think about it, it seems to be true.
Although "The Wandering Earth" has a huge investment, most people are really not optimistic about this film due to fans' distrust of science fiction films.
Even if Zhang Pu respects him, there are not many people who believe it.
At most, I think the box office of this film will not be bad. As for breaking records, how is that possible.
But who would have thought that the box office of the film would really rank first in the domestic box office list, create a new box office record, and even become the first film to break the box office of 3 billion.
Perhaps, except for Zhang Pu, including "The Wandering Earth" director Wen Hao, I am afraid that he has never thought so.
And what about the facts?
Zhang Pu's words of "surpassing the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" seem to be really humble now.
It's like when he set himself a small goal.
That small goal is out of reach for others, but it is really easy for Zhang Pu.
This time too.
His words seemed really "arrogant", but as soon as the facts came out, he instantly became "humble".
He has already said that the box office of this film is low.
"Director Zhang, when do you think you will be able to set a new box office record and regain the top spot at the box office?"
A reporter asked with a smile.
"The Wandering Earth" is about to bring down "Looking for the Dragon" and become the highest-grossing film in China.
and will directly break the 3 billion box office mark.
If this box office record wants to be surpassed, I am afraid it is not ordinarily difficult.
But if there is anyone in China who is most likely to surpass, it must be Zhang Pu.
After all, "The Wandering Earth" is also his work.
Although it's just a screenwriter's work.
"You really think of me!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I don't know when I will be able to set a new box office record, maybe the next film, maybe the next film, maybe not the next one." ”
When the reporters heard this, they laughed.
It's good to listen to half a sentence.
Well, Zhang Pu said that his next film will be able to overturn "The Wandering Earth" and regain the top spot at the box office.
Zhang Pu got rid of the reporter, but Xu Jiahui said with a smile: "It is estimated that there will be media reports tomorrow that Zhang Pu threatens to create a new box office record in the next film and take back the box office champion that belongs to him." ”
"Who believes it?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
What kind of urine sex those media reporters have, how could Zhang Pu not know.
Will the situation Xu Jiahui said happen?
Definitely!
But the public doesn't necessarily believe it.
After all, Zhang Pu's humility is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Yes!" Xu Jiahui was stunned for a moment and said, "Your humility has been around for a long time! Even saying that "The Wandering Earth" will break the box office record this time has now become a humble statement. ”
Zhang Pu laughed.
This character was not intentionally created by him, it was purely ridiculed by netizens and pressed on his head.
Zhang Pu will not set up a character for himself.
If someone sets it, then someone sets it up with the risk of collapse.
After all, it is impossible for a person to act in a lifetime of drama. Even if this is the case, who can guarantee that they will always be consistent?
Even if the character is in line with your character, there is still a danger of overturning.
At the celebration banquet, the focus of the media is still on the main creative lineup.
Especially Deng Kun, Zhang Chu, and Guo Yunxi.
As for Chu Xiao and Zhao Xiaorong, after all, they are newcomers, and they are inferior to the three of them after all.
Not to mention anything else, on the propaganda posters, theirs is not as prominent as Deng Kun and the others.
And the three of them were naturally asked why they starred in this film?
It's a question they've been asked many times.
Especially Deng Kun.
When Zhang Chu and Guo Yunxi starred in this film, they were far from being as famous as they are today, but Deng Kun was different.
When he starred in this film, he was already a first-line of popularity.
And with "Langya Bang", it is on fire.
At this time, why did he put down his body and play a supporting role?
As for why?
It is purely a corporate arrangement.
Not long after he joined the Oriental Dream Factory, the company arranged it, and he couldn't refuse.
But who would have thought that the harvest brought to him by this film was far beyond his imagination.
"Guo Yunxi, you are about to become the second actor in China with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion, and the first actress with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion, how do you feel about this?"
A reporter asked Guo Yunxi.
"What?"
Guo Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Zhang Chu next to him. She didn't even calculate what the cumulative box office of the movies she participated in such as Jiangnan.
She never thought that she would become the second actor to break 10 billion at the box office.
Isn't Zhang Chu surpassing Shen Ran and becoming the second 10 billion actor?
This is not a small topic on the Internet.
Guo Yunxi thinks the same, and is even happy for Zhang Chu.
Why did he suddenly become the second?
Could it be that his cumulative box office is more than Zhang Chu?
"I really haven't calculated, why did I accidentally break 10 billion?" Guo Yunxi came back to his senses and said with a smile, "You can't be wrong, right?"
Breaking 10 billion by accident?
What he said made everyone present pout.
Is it tens of billions?
Deng Kun looked at Guo Yunxi, and then at Zhang Chu.
Both of them seem to be able to advance to tens of billions of actors with "The Wandering Earth".
Deng Kun calculated his current cumulative box office, and it seems to be fast.
Even if they can't be promoted to 10 billion actors with "The Wandering Earth", the subsequent "Jumanji" and "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely become the fourth actor after them to exceed 10 billion at the box office.
Who would have thought?
Shen Ran, who almost broke 10 billion at the cumulative box office, everyone thought that he would become the second, but now he has become the fifth.
Perhaps, it may be the sixth.
Tang Rui is estimated to be not far from tens of billions of actors!
Guo Yunxi is about to become the second actor in China to exceed 10 billion at the box office.
If it is divided into men and women, she is the first 10 billion actress.
The benefits of this name are unimaginable.
Guo Yunxi is a quasi-first-line actress, and "The Wandering Earth" only appeared in a supporting role, so this film failed to make her advance to the list of first-line stars.
But who would have thought that as soon as the title of "the first 10 billion actress" came out, Guo Yunxi would immediately be promoted to the first line.
This has left many people stunned.
However, there is nothing to say.
The first 10 billion actress was promoted to the first line, isn't it well deserved?
Guo Yunxi's box office appeal is not to be said for the time being, but her vision for picking dramas is beyond doubt.
Otherwise, not long after her debut, why did she become the first 10 billion actress?
Of course, how does the public know that the films starring Guo Yunxi were not selected by her, but arranged by the company.
She just became a tens of billions of actresses with the company's movies.
In this way, it is not Guo Yunxi who is the cow, but Oriental DreamWorks and Zhang Pu.
Those films were all written by Zhang Pu.
Guo Yunxi and Zhang Chu have been promoted to tens of billions of actors with "The Wandering Earth", which is full of topicality, which in turn promotes the box office of the film.
And Zhang Pu didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.
"I've written it, you can take a look at it first, and then we'll discuss it. ”
Zhang Pu smiled and handed the manuscript of "Journey to the West" to Jiang Xingwen and said.
When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he was interested.
Zhang Pu doesn't have much, just a "Ghost Blows the Lamp", and he seems to have just wanted to make up an investment for "Crazy Stone".
Nowadays, the company is not short of funds, Zhang Pu does not write scripts, but writes directly?
This inevitably made him curious.
"Okay, I'll take a look first. Jiang Xingwen nodded and said, "Do you want to adapt it into film and television, and then release it?"
"Make a TV series first, then make it into an animated film, and when the influence rises, let's talk about the adaptation of the movie, and the other peripheral products ......," Zhang Pu said, "Forget it." You read it first, and we'll talk about it after you've finished reading. This is a big IP, and the IP value of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is estimated to be only a fraction of it. ”
"Are you kidding?"
When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he said with some shock.
How high the IP value of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is, just look at "Looking for the Dragon". If Zhang Pu sells copyrights, I'm afraid they will be at least tens of millions.
Then the IP value of this one is a little scary!
"I, Zhang Pu, never brag!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
"Then I'll take a look first!" Jiang Xingwen couldn't wait to pick up the manuscript and read it.
In order to make it convenient for Jiang Xingwen, Zhang Pu printed out the manuscript.
People who are not accustomed to watching the Internet are very repulsive to the electronic version.
Zhang Pu looked at Jiang Xingwen with a smile, and then exited his office.
The IP value of "Journey to the West" is not only a film and television adaptation, even if it is "Kung Fu Panda" and other products in the future, Oriental DreamWorks should also make use of the peripheral products of these films.
After Jiang Xingwen watched "Journey to the West", these would naturally have to be discussed.
Within a few days, Jiang Xingwen found Zhang Pu.
"Sometimes I really want to pry open Neng's head and see what is inside?" Jiang Xingwen said, "I didn't expect you to write such a film." ”
How "Journey to the West" is, Jiang Xingwen is difficult to evaluate, and his literary appreciation ability is not high.
However, as a person engaged in the film and television industry, he can clearly see how valuable the IP of this film is.
Perhaps, as Zhang Pu said, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is only a fraction of it.
