"A Chinese Ghost Story" was a box office hit, and the crisis caused by Zhang Pu's announcement of the relationship was completely dissipated.

Oriental DreamWorks has also ushered in a new round of development.

"I've got some news!"

Zhang Pu and Jiang Xingwen were discussing the matter of "Looking for the Dragon", but Xu Jiadong knocked on the door and came in.

"What's the news?"

Zhang Pu asked curiously.

"Orange Entertainment seems to be in line with Hollywood director Sean Somosta and is ready to invest in his new film. Xu Jiadong said.

"Who?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, then asked.

Jiang Xingwen was also stunned, and then glanced at Zhang Pu.

"Sean Sommers!" Xu Jiadong looked at the two of them and said, "What's wrong?"

"Why is he unwilling to cooperate with us, but cooperates with Orange Entertainment? This doesn't make sense!" Jiang Xingwen frowned, and then said.

The strength of Oriental DreamWorks may be far inferior to Orange Entertainment, but it is only cooperation, not dominance.

"Do you know how they work together?" asked Zhang Pu.

Sean's choice to cooperate with Orange and Yellow Entertainment is likely to be related to the way of cooperation.

In terms of interests, Orange Entertainment should have made great concessions.

Otherwise, how could Sean risk being in trouble with Snake Oriental DreamWorks partnering with Orange Entertainment?

"The specifics are not very clear, but it is estimated that Orange Entertainment only wants to have the income of Huaxia. Xu Jiadong said.

Zhang Pu and Jiang Xingwen glanced at each other, and they both felt that Sean seemed to have the meaning of pit orange entertainment.

"Do you know what the film is?" Zhang Pu then asked.

If it weren't for the film about Egyptian mummies, it would be better to say. But if it is, and Orange Entertainment is taking the box office revenue in China, then ......

"I don't know. Xu Jiadong said, "However, it is estimated that Orange Entertainment will release the news soon." "Detective" fell short of expectations, and they needed the news to stimulate the stock market. ”

"Do you think it's possible for Sean to pit Orange and Yellow Entertainment?" Zhang Pu looked at Jiang Xingwen and said.

"Pit?" Xu Jiadong asked with some confusion.

As soon as Jiang Xingwen said something, Xu Jiadong was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to take the opportunity to pit Orange Entertainment?"

If this is the case, then Sean Sommus's new film, even if it is a joint venture film, may not be able to be released in China.

If Orange Entertainment only takes the income of Huaxia, it will naturally lose all its money.

In this way, it is very likely to have a big impact on its stock market.

"It's just a little cheap, Sean Sommos!" Xu Jiadong continued, "This gringo is not a good thing. ”

There is a high possibility that Orange Entertainment will be pitted.

Sean Sommes cooperated with Orange Entertainment, and I am afraid that he did not have any good intentions.

"It's not easy to take advantage of my Zhang Pu's cheapness. Zhang Pu chuckled and said.

If he dares to shoot, Zhang Pu will dare to sue.

He didn't mind releasing his script.

And as soon as his recordings were released, Sean Sommers was probably discredited.

At least, Zaihuaxia certainly does.

"I'll inquire. Xu Jiadong said.

Sean Sommers wants to make a fuss on Orange Entertainment, and they don't mind adding fuel to the fire.

Although, in a sense, Zhang Pu also has losses.

But if it can pit orange entertainment, Zhang Pu is obviously willing.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Pu left Jiang Xingwen's company and was about to go back to his office, but he didn't want to meet Zhang Ke as soon as he went out.

"Why does Director Zhang have time to come to our company?" asked Zhang Pu with a smile.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was completed, and Zhang Ke was busy with post-production.

And the post-production of this film is not in Oriental DreamWorks, but Zhang Ke's film studio.

"Looking for you!" Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Looking for me?"

Zhang Pu was a little puzzled, and then invited Zhang Ke into the office.

"The soundtrack of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I want to find you. ”

After entering the office, Zhang Ke went straight to the point and explained his intentions.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he was stunned.

He felt like he had made a bad start before.

""A Chinese Ghost Story is released, you should have the time to make the soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" now. Zhang Ke didn't wait for Zhang Pu to answer, and then said, "You didn't waste much time making the soundtrack for "Farewell My Concubine". ”

"Director Zhang, my new film is now ready for it. Zhang Pu sighed and said.

"The preparation of the new film is not in a hurry. Zhang Ke said, ""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the script you wrote, and you have studied this film very deeply. I've tried other people, but it's a bit far from what I want. That's when I found you. If this film wants to win at the Oscars, then every aspect of the film should be refined. ”

"Besides, the time is a bit rushed!" Zhang Ke continued.

"Okay!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "I'll say okay first, if you're not satisfied with what I've done, then find someone else." If you can't participate in the Oscars this year, then you will participate next year. ”

He didn't even think about refusing.

The original soundtrack is estimated to be useful.

The style of the film, even if it is action design, may be a little different from the original, but I don't think it's very big.

Because before the filming of the film, Zhang Pu discussed a lot with the action director.

After receiving the soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Pu became even busier.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" still dominates the single-day box office champion, and on New Year's Day, the box office picked up and almost broke 100 million.

Shortly after New Year's Day, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exceeded one billion.

Oriental DreamWorks also held a celebration banquet for this purpose.

In addition to the main creator of the film, many people in the circle also participated.

Naturally, there were a lot of media reporters.

And the focus of the celebration banquet is naturally none other than Zhang Pu.

"Director Zhang, as the second director in China to have two films with a box office of more than one billion, do you have anything to say about this?"

There are not many films that break the billion-dollar box office in China.

Previously, only Zhang Ke had two films with a box office of more than one billion.

Zhang Pu is known as the top director in China for this, who has any objections?

"The domestic film market continues to expand, and I believe that there will be more films that will break one billion. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Perhaps, it won't be long before there will be films that break 2 billion, or even 3 billion or 4 billion." ”

"Although I have two films that have broken one billion, the gold content is far less than that of director Zhang Ke. Zhang Pu continued.

This is really not modest.

Now that the box office has broken one billion, it is much easier than it was at the beginning.

Perhaps, it won't be long before breaking one billion is no longer the goal pursued by many directors.

This is the result of market developments.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" broke one billion, and the box office is estimated to be much higher than that of "The Nameless".

However, although it became Zhang Pu's highest-grossing film, it couldn't pull Zhang Ke's film at the top of the box office.

At the celebration banquet, it is natural to talk about Zhang Pu's new film.

"The new film is indeed a collaboration with Brother Tao, and it is already in preparation. ”

"The investment is definitely not small, and it is expected to be larger than "A Chinese Ghost Story". Now Oriental DreamWorks has sufficient funds, and I am not the little director who couldn't get investment at the beginning. ”

"What type?

The investment in "Looking for the Dragon" is naturally much larger than that of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The actor's salary is one thing, but the most important thing is the cost of special effects.

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Pu revealed some news of the new film, but it did not attract much attention.

After all, this film has just begun to prepare, and I don't know how long it will take to leave the machine, plus post-production, whether it can be released at this time next year is a question.

Of course, at the celebration banquet, it is naturally impossible for media reporters to just revolve around Zhang Pu alone.

Xiao Xue is on fire.

Yuan Hong is also on fire.

Even, Zhang Chu received a box lunch not long after his appearance, and the Xiahou swordsman got a lot of attention.

A film is popular, and even if the actors don't follow the fire, they can get more attention.

The attention of fans, the attention of people in the circle.

Zhang Chu and Zheng Hang received many film appointments after the film became popular.

Of course, Zhang Chu's invitations are mostly supporting roles.

As for whether he would pick it up, Zhang Pu didn't ask.

""The Richest Man in Xihong City" should be in time for the Spring Festival, right?" Zhang Pu got rid of the reporter, walked in front of Lin Mu, and asked with a smile.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, in early February, is now only nearly a month away.

Zhang Pu didn't know how the post-production of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was, so he asked.

"No problem. Lin Mu said with a smile, "It is estimated that it will only be a matter of the past few days." ”

This film has no special effects, and the post-production is much simpler, so it naturally doesn't take much time.

Zhang Pu nodded.

This film should also be about to start publicity.

As soon as the celebration banquet of "A Chinese Ghost Story" opened, it naturally brought a lot of topics to the film.

However, the box office of the film exceeded one billion, and the potential was also extremely consumed.

may be higher than the 1.2 billion in "The Nameless", and it is estimated that it will not be much higher.

Of course, the investment in this film is much higher than that of "Nobody", but the rate of return is not necessarily lower.

Zhang Pu is still very optimistic about the overseas market of this film.

Europe and the United States do not need to think about it, mainly Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

After the celebration banquet of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Pu paid less attention and devoted his energy to the preparation of "Looking for the Dragon" and the soundtrack of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Good news!"

Within two days, Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

"Are you going to hug your grandson?" Zhang Pu joked with a smile.

Last month, his son got married, and Zhang Pu and others participated.

"How do you know?" Jiang Xingwen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No! I mean "A Chinese Ghost Story" is popular in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. ”

"That's really good news. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Although some of these countries and regions sell copyrights, some take a share of the box office, and the proportion of the share is obviously not far less than that of China.

But the film is popular, it's not just about having money.

To some extent, it also opened up the film market in that area.

"Xiao Xue has become popular in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia with this film, but it's a pity!" Jiang Xingwen then shook his head and said.

What a pity?

Zhang Pu naturally guessed a few points.

It's a pity that Xiao Xue is not a signed artist of Oriental DreamWorks.

Xiao Xue is now in her twenties, and she has already gone abroad, and her potential is too great.

Jiang Xingwen suddenly thought of Zhang Ke's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" again, and felt a pity at the same time, he had some liver pain.

Why didn't the company have a suitable actress at that time?

If Xiao Xue and Zhang Pu have anything, then it's okay to say, but it's a pity that it's nothing, she is not the future boss lady, but she has gone international with the company's movies, and it feels a little bad to think about it.
