Chapter 396: Accident
The "Ghost Blows the Lantern" series has been a succession of two films. Moreover, judging from the box office momentum at this time, this second part may not be worse than the first "Dragon Hunting".
Even if it's really bad, I'm afraid the box office of 2 billion is stable.
How much is the investment in this film?
The profit is so amazing, the director still takes box office dividends.
Xu Ming gained amazing results from this film.
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and Xu Ming is not exempt from vulgarity.
The two films are on fire, and the box office appeal of this series can be imagined.
Perhaps, the third part is taken casually, and it is all taken with money.
This is a chicken that lays golden eggs.
If Xu Ming could hold it in his hands, how could he give up?
Of course, this money is easy to get, but it is not easy to get.
If you just pat and take the money, you may be able to get the money, but your reputation will also be ruined.
Exchanging fame for money obviously outweighs the losses.
However, with the experience of directing, Xu Ming has greater confidence in the next film in this series.
Comparatively speaking, the pressure is not as great as the first part.
The previous part was under so much pressure, and the next one was more relaxed, but he gave up, and Xu Ming was obviously unwilling.
didn't directly agree before, it's completely clear that if this film pounces, even if he takes it in advance, under the pressure of public opinion, he will have to resign as the director of this series.
At that time, wouldn't it be even more shameless.
And this film didn't pounce, then it was his, and it would still be his.
Of course, the third part is not something that can be filmed.
An adaptation of a script takes time.
It's just that after gaining experience, the third part is much easier to adapt.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" swept the national box office, showing an invincible posture, and the overseas release was naturally on the agenda.
The overseas box office of "Dragon Quest" is not very good, and that is only relative. The box office in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia is actually very good.
Whether it is Chen Huatao or Xu Ming, they are still quite influential in these areas.
This film, the overseas box office, is still promising.
"I thought you would pick up Nanhu Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party!"
New Year's Day is approaching, and many satellite TVs are going to hold New Year's Eve parties.
This is not surprising.
After all, profitable.
Zhang Pu was actually invited, and the price he gave was even higher than that of some super first-line stars.
However, Zhang Pu pushed it all.
He wasn't much interested in that.
He wasn't short of that money, either.
"Close!" Xu Jiahui said with a smile.
There are many TV stations that invite her, Zhang Pu thought she would choose Nanhu Satellite TV, but she didn't want to choose Yanjing Satellite TV.
In terms of relationship, Xu Jiahui and Nanhu Satellite TV are better.
As for Yenching Satellite TV...... Don't mention it.
When Xu Jiahui debuted, she fell out with Yanjing Satellite TV.
"If you let Nanhu Satellite TV know this reason, you don't know how depressed you are. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
Xu Jiahui now says that she is the hottest female singer, but I am afraid no one refutes it.
"New Year's Day took over a business event in Yanjing. Xu Jiahui explained.
Zhang Pu heard this and nodded.
If it is the New Year's Eve party of Nanhu Satellite TV, then the party is over, and you have to catch a plane back to Yanjing, which is indeed a bit tiring.
After receiving Yanjing Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, it was completely different.
"When will your Transformers start?" asked Xu Jiahui.
When you are preparing, no matter how busy you are, at least you can still meet people.
But as soon as the film starts, if Xu Jiahui doesn't go to the crew to visit the class, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet for two or three months.
"If nothing else, what it looks like in early March!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.
"Won't you not be going to attend the Golden Dragon Awards and Oscars ceremonies next year?" Xu Jiahui nodded, then thought of something, and said with some surprise.
At this year's Golden Dragon Awards and Oscars, Zhang Pu didn't attend, and it was on the hot search.
"Look!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Maybe, you won't even get a nomination?"
If he was not nominated, Zhang Pu would naturally not put down the crew and go to the awards ceremony.
"Director Jiang's film should be a big hit, right?" Xu Jiahui said.
"I'm talking about Wolf Warrior 2. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
The film "The Shawshank Redemption" is very likely to be shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award and the Oscars. No matter how many awards he is shortlisted, Zhang Pu has won the best screenwriter at most.
As for "Wolf Warrior 2"?
""Wolf Warrior 2" has such a big impact, and it should be no problem to be shortlisted for a few awards at the Golden Dragon Awards, right?"
As for the Oscars, don't think about "Wolf Warrior 2".
If you have a lot of influence, can you be shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award?
It can only be said: relatively speaking, it is more likely. But whether you win the award or not, it is estimated that it will not have much impact.
Perhaps, "Wolf Warrior 2" can get a few nominations, but the probability of winning the award is very low.
It is estimated that he won the consolation prize for best action design.
"Who knows. Zhang Pu shook his head.
"Maybe you won the best director directly with "Wolf Warrior 2"?" Xu Jiahui said with a smile.
Zhang Pu wants to win the best director, she naturally knows it, but she has never been able to do so.
"There is a good chance that the teacher will win this award. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
Best Director with "Wolf Warrior 2"?
Zhang Pu really didn't dare to count on it.
Perhaps, because this film is too influential, give a nomination or something.
Xu Jiahui was about to say something, but Zhang Pu's phone suddenly rang.
As soon as Zhang Pu picked up the phone and listened, his face immediately changed.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Jiahui saw Zhang Pu's expression change, and when she saw that he hung up the phone, she immediately asked.
"My brother had an accident while filming and was injured. ”
Zhang Pu did not put down the phone, but dialed Tan Siming again and asked him to arrange a plane to Xiangjiang.
"Serious?" asked Xu Jiahui.
Zhang Pu nodded, if it wasn't serious, he probably wouldn't have called him.
"Exactly how it will be, we will have to know later. Zhang Pu shook his head again and said.
Action actors, injuries are common.
This is clear to many people.
However, Zhang Chu was a little seriously injured this time, and now he is still in the hospital and has not woken up!
"It's okay!" Xu Jiahui saw Zhang Pu's worry, and immediately comforted.
Zhang Pu nodded, but didn't say anything more.
"Otherwise, I'll go over with you too!" Xu Jiahui said.
"No!" Zhang Pu said, "It's not good to release Yanjing Satellite TV's pigeons at this time." ”
"Hmm!" Xu Jiahui nodded.
If Zhang Pu was injured, she would definitely not hesitate to push the New Year's Eve party.
Zhang Chu?
He's just Zhang Pu's older brother.
Zhang Pu and Tan Siming rushed to Xiangjiang overnight.
Zhang Chu took over an action scene before, the producer is Xiangjiang Film and Television Company, and the team is also Xiangjiang filmmakers.
The filming location involves Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions.
This film, Oriental DreamWorks is also one of the investors.
A modern shootout film.
This kind of film, Xiangjiang filmmakers are undoubtedly the best at it.
Filmmakers in the mainland will inevitably have a little worse taste in this kind of film. After "Wolf Warrior 2", Zhang Chu has undoubtedly become the first choice for this type of film.
Zhang Chu took over the play, and Zhang Pu asked less questions.
However, he has really read the script of this film, which is really good.
This film has a taste for Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian film markets, and Zhang Chu took over this drama, which is also beneficial to him to open up the popularity of these regions.
It's just that no one expected that Zhang Chu had an accident during filming, and it was so serious that he was sent to the hospital.
Action actors are injured while filming, it is commonplace, and Zhang Chu is not once or twice, but most of them are minor injuries, which are handled directly by the crew, and then continue filming.
Of course, the situation that is so heavy that you have to go to the hospital is something that many action actors have experienced.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu will be fine. ”
got on the plane, Tan Siming saw a thick look of worry in Zhang Pu's eyes, and then said, "The rain of bullets can't help Brother Chu, not to mention that it's just an accident in filming." ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Pu nodded.
Isn't that what an accident is?
Zhang Pu once again doubted at this time whether it was right or wrong for him to persuade Zhang Chu to become an actor and take the road of an action actor.
If he has an accident, how can he explain it to his uncle?
Zhang Pu's mind was a little messy.
He can't persuade Zhang Chusheng not to take the road of an action actor now because he was injured, right?
After a lot of hard work, it is not easy to have today's achievements, do you give up and let all your efforts go to waste?
Accidents, where is it not there?
Not to mention action actors, other actors are not the same.
When action movies are filmed, they are actually more focused on safety than other films.
I got off the plane and went straight to the hospital.
At this time, it has been nearly ten hours since Zhang Pu received the call.
When Zhang Pu and the others arrived at the hospital, the sky was bright.
And the news that Zhang Chu was injured while filming and his life and death is unknown has been pushed to the top of the hot search list.
The gossip paparazzi in Xiangjiang is the most overflowing.
Zhang Chu was injured during filming and sent to the hospital, where did the crew still have the heart to block the news and guard against the paparazzi.
What's more, if you want to block the news, it is estimated that you can't block it.
When the news came out, it instantly detonated public opinion.
When Zhang Pu arrived, reporters were already gathered outside the hospital.
As soon as those reporters saw Zhang Pu, they immediately surrounded him.
Zhang Pu had the heart to deal with these media reporters at this time, and under the escort of Tan Siming and relevant personnel in the hospital, he quickly entered the hospital.
"Director Yuan, what's wrong with my brother?"
As soon as Zhang Pu entered the hospital, he saw Yuan Hong coming over and hurriedly asked.
Yuan Hong is not the director of this film, but he is the action director.
He had some dark circles under his eyes at this time, and he knew that he had been in the hospital all night.
"I woke up before, and now I've just fallen asleep. ”
Yuan Hong turned around and followed Zhang Pu to the hospital again.
The person who went to the airport to pick up Zhang Pu and the two was also arranged by Yuan Hong. When Zhang Pu will arrive at the hospital, he naturally knows.
"The injury is not light, but fortunately there will be no sequelae, but it is estimated that it will take two or three months to heal. Yuan Hong said as he walked.
"That's good. Zhang Pu nodded.
This is much better than Zhang Pu expected.
Of course, if you raise it for two or three months, whether it is a company or an individual, I am afraid that the loss is not small.
It's just a loss of money, and for Zhang Pu, it's nothing.
"Are the others alright?" Zhang Pu then asked.
