On this trip to Hollywood, Zhang Pu also benefited a lot. After the explosion of "Transformers", his slightly swollen heart also faded.

Although there is the original version as a reference, Zhang Pu's version of "Transformers" has many breakthroughs.

If it weren't for the improvement of his directing ability, even if there was a reference to the original version, not to mention a breakthrough, I am afraid that the quality of the original version would be very good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been preparing to shoot a 3D-IMAX version of the film.

The technology is there, but the director's level is not enough, and it is not good to shoot.

After filming one film after another, Zhang Pu is constantly learning and improving. Now, even if he is given a script, he can shoot it well.

There's no reference to the original, and at most it's just a bit slower.

Of course, there are still a lot of films in my mind, and Zhang Pu is not in a hurry to shoot an original movie.

The original movie is definitely going to be made.

But Zhang Pu felt that he could still precipitate.

He has also become more and more confident in his directing skills. He feels that he is no worse than those top directors in China.

But this trip to Hollywood can be regarded as pouring cold water on him, and he finds that he still has a lot of room to grow.

Compared with the top directors in Hollywood, I am afraid there is still some distance.

Of course, it's mostly on commercial blockbusters.

As for art films, they should not be weaker than others in China.

But Zhang Pu is not interested in art films.

Soon after Zhang Pu returned to China, the domestic box office of "Transformers" exceeded 4 billion, becoming the second film to break 4 billion at the box office.

Five billion is estimated to be a bit hanging.

However, I don't know how much higher the box office is than the original.

Of course, the market volume is different, not to mention that domestic fans still love the house and Wu.

In other words, if "Transformers" was not filmed by him Zhang Pu, not starring Ye Fan, Zhang Chu and others, but a Hollywood film, then the domestic box office of this film is not said to be halved, but it will definitely not be so high.

The box office of the film exceeded 4 billion, and Oriental DreamWorks immediately held a grand celebration banquet.

If it were for other film and television companies, I am afraid that several celebration banquets would have been held a long time ago.

Zhang Pu and other main creators were naturally present.

"Director Zhang, judging from the current box office trend of "Transformers", it is difficult to break the domestic box office record created by "Wolf Warrior 2", do you regret this?"

At the celebration banquet, media reporters were naturally indispensable, and Zhang Pu became the focus of the scene without any suspense.

Zhang Pu is the focus everywhere, not to mention the celebration banquet of his film.

"The box office is not as good as "Wolf Warrior 2", but compared to "Wolf Warrior 2", I have improved. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "What's so sorry about this." ”

Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", Zhang Pu's "Transformers" does let people see his progress.

Of course, seeing this requires a professional eye.

If "Transformers" is released before "Wolf Warrior 2", maybe the box office of the two will be reversed.

When "Transformers" was released, domestic fans had already experienced the baptism of domestic high-quality films such as "The Wandering Earth", "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Jurassic Park".

Otherwise, the box office of this film may be higher.

"Does Director Zhang have a plan for his next film, and what type of film are you going to shoot, and what are your expectations for the box office of your next film?"

A reporter continued to ask.

The director who interviewed Zhang Pu asked the most about the box office. Everyone knows that Zhang Pu doesn't like to be asked about awards. Even if the number of awards he has won is the largest among domestic filmmakers.

Perhaps in the world, he is also the filmmaker who has won the most awards.

But the best director he wanted to win the most was delayed. asked Zhang Pu about the award, that is, the suspicion of inserting a knife in someone's chest.

Today's Zhang Pu is no longer what it used to be. If you annoy him, you must be the one who is unlucky.

"What's next? I'm going to make an animated film that's for all ages. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Now that the production has begun, it is estimated that the Spring Festival stalls will be able to meet everyone!"

When the reporters heard this, their eyes immediately widened.

Zhang Pu's new film turned out to be an animated film, and it has already begun to be produced?

That's a big deal!

The reporter who asked the question just now was also stunned, he asked casually, he didn't expect Zhang Pu to break such a fierce news at all.

"Transformers" became a global hit, and Zhang Pu became an international director. Naturally, his next film is in the spotlight, especially at home.

"As for the box office expectations for the film," Zhang Pu continued, "this person who knows me well knows. I'm never looking forward to it too much, because that's how there are surprises. ”

"Director Zhang, is your animated film aimed at the international film market, or only for the domestic market, or only for the foreign market?" a reporter couldn't wait.

"Transformers" made Zhang Pu enter the international film market successfully, and when everyone thought that he wanted to make persistent efforts to make another blockbuster to stabilize the hard-won good situation, Zhang Pu turned to make animated films.

The treatment of animated films in China is almost the same as that of science fiction movies back then.

"The Wandering Earth" opened the door to Chinese science fiction films, and "Jurassic Park" and "Transformers" completely turned Chinese science fiction films over.

Animate Movie ..... Now it's still filming a pounce.

Even in the impression of many fans, animated movies are "young", that is, they are made for children.

The domestic market is not welcome, so it is not surprising that some people suspect that Zhang Pu is only targeting foreign markets.

"I'm sure fans at home and abroad will enjoy it. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

This is for the global film market!

Also!

Now that Zhang Pu has entered the international market, his new film is naturally aimed at the global film market.

Otherwise, it would be a step backwards.

After looking at the world, how can you turn around and only look at the country.

"Director Zhang, what are you thinking about making an animated film?" a reporter asked.

Could it be that Zhang Pu is inflated?

He felt that he could become popular in whatever he filmed.

No, he's not inflated.

It can't be bloated anymore.

He was heartbroken to see the animated film half-dead. He made the Chinese science fiction movie turn over, can't he let the Chinese animated film turn over?

As a filmmaker, he wants to make all unpopular movies popular.

At the beginning, didn't he make the declining martial arts movies and kung fu movies popular?

For Zhang Pu, there is no movie genre that is unpopular at all.

"I'm very optimistic about the market for animated films, both domestic and foreign. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Hollywood's animated films are actually quite good at the domestic box office.

Of course, it must also be influenced by fans' misconceptions about animated films.

But the impact is limited.

The biggest reason why the box office of Chinese animated films hit the street is not the fans, but the film itself.

"This is the celebration banquet of "Transformers", let's stop the matter of the new film, let's talk about "Transformers", right?" Zhang Pu said when he saw that those reporters seemed to continue to ask.

Naturally, he deliberately revealed the news.

This is also to pave the way for the future promotion of the film. After all, we're halfway through the year.

However, revealing too much is counterproductive.

arouse the curiosity of fans, but do not satisfy their curiosity, then when it comes to the promotion of the film, it will have an unexpected effect.

Zhang Pu has long since stopped asking about the promotion of the film, but he still understands propaganda very well.

Those reporters were very interesting, Zhang Pu said so, and they were embarrassed to continue to ask. What's more, with their understanding of Zhang Pu, even if they asked, it would be useless, and Zhang Pu would definitely not answer.

Zhang Pu broke out some information about the new film, which has made their trip worthwhile.

People, contentment and happiness.

"A lot of people in the company are asking about your next film. ”

After Zhang Pu sent the media reporters, Jiang Xingwen walked over with a smile.

"A lot of people?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I haven't made the next film yet?"

"The first strike is stronger, and the second is the soup. Wang Bo said with a smile, "How about the heroine give your sister-in-law, and the second female number gives your younger brother and sister?"

In Zhang Pu's next film, Zhang Chu will be the male number one, which is not a secret.

As for the heroine, I'm afraid it will also be Guo Yunxi.

The rest of the company asked, but he never thought about playing the leading role.

As for the "younger brother and sister" in Wang Bo's mouth, it is naturally Chen Fei'er.

"Do you know that I will have a female number two in my next film?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "What about my brother and sister, are you married? ”

When Wang Bo heard this, he smiled.

Zhang Pu didn't refuse, so there was a play.

"There are a lot of people who have made up their minds about this film. Jiang Xingwen said, "Deng Kun, Huang Ye, Tang Rui, Ye Fan and others are all asking, they don't expect the protagonist, they just want to get a more brilliant supporting role." Think about it. ”

"There's no rush to this. Zhang Pu nodded and said.

He will consider, but not now.

He hasn't even thought about it himself when he will shoot the next film.

Shooting the 3D-IMAX version of the movie, Zhang Pu's first thought was "Avatar", because the film was visually shocking enough.

But Zhang Pu wants to shoot "Inception" even more!

The original Inception is not a 3D version, but it is just as visually shocking, and if it is shot in a 3D-IMAX version, it will undoubtedly be even more shocking.

Of course, it's just different from the visual shock of "Avatar".

But "Inception" is even more brain-burning!

Zhang Pu is a bit biased towards the latter because it's more challenging.

He will also have a greater sense of accomplishment.

In terms of risk, there may not be much difference, but in terms of the effect of 3D-IMAX, "Avatar" may be better. The suspenseful component of "Inception" may, to some extent, divert some of the visual experience of fans.

Of course, it is also possible to complement each other.

So Zhang Pu is still a little uncertain to pay attention.

The reason why I prefer "Inception" is also because this film can incorporate Chinese kung fu elements. And "Avatar" has limited promotion for actors.

Zhang Pu also wants to use this film to promote Zhang Chu to the world.
