Chapter 470: Licking a dog will only be a spare tire
Oriental DreamWorks has a large layout, and now it is just the beginning of the show.
Just trying to learn from Disney's development model is obviously not achieved overnight. The success of films such as "Kung Fu Panda" has added a lot of heritage to Oriental DreamWorks.
"Kung Fu Panda" won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, which still caused great repercussions in China.
Chinese animated films also have times when they raise their eyebrows.
This undoubtedly further stimulated the development of domestic animated films.
Of course, what stimulates the development of a certain type of film is not the award, but the market.
After attending the Oscars, Zhang Pu did not return to China, but continued to take marriage leave.
Although "Detective Chinatown" is a film written by Zhang Pu, this is also one of the key points of the film's promotion.
But Zhang Pu never participated in the promotion of the film.
Zhang Pu did the same with the films written by previous screenwriters.
However, even if Zhang Pu did not participate in the promotion of the film, this film is still the most anticipated film by fans on May Day.
Tong Cheng's previous work "Embarrassing Detective" left an extremely deep impression on fans.
This cooperation with Zhang Pu is naturally exciting.
"Let's go back!" Xu Jiahui said, "I've been out for so long, I'm a little homesick." ”
Whether it's Zhang Pu or Xu Jiahui, they are actually people who can't be idle.
After more than a month of wandering around the world, it is inevitable that I am a little tired.
Zhang Pu and the two returned to China, which was very low-key.
After returning to China, he did not return to work immediately, but returned home for a few days.
"You're back so soon?" Wang Bo said with a smile, "The world is so big, can you see it in such a little time?"
"I'm not interested, so I'm naturally back. Zhang Pu said, "There will be opportunities in the future." ”
"Is that one in your family really ready to quit the entertainment industry?" Wang Bo then asked.
After Xu Jiahui got married, she had plans to quit the entertainment industry, and Wang Bo naturally knew about this.
"It's not about retreating or retreating, it's just that the work won't be so full, and it will be offset. Zhang Pu said.
He talked to Xu Jiahui about this.
He knows very well that Xu Jiahui likes to sing and likes the feeling of singing on stage. Zhang Pu doesn't think that after getting married, she needs to give up the career she likes.
It's not fair to her.
It was also unnecessary for him.
"When are you going back to the company?" Wang Bo then asked.
"Take a two-day break and adjust. Zhang Pu said.
"Preparing a new film?" Wang Bo continued.
"So you kid didn't come to see me!" Zhang Pu pouted when he heard this.
As soon as he returned to Yanjing, this guy came to the door.
Zhang Pu thought that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and this guy was going to find himself for a drink.
It turned out to be for his new film.
"By the way. Don't worry about these details. Wang Bo smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law doesn't star in your new film, what do you think of Fei'er?"
Zhang Pu directly rolled his eyes, without this guy to speak, Zhang Pu had already guessed that he would say so.
"I'll decide after the audition. Zhang Pu said, "You should know the importance of this film. ”
"Interesting!" Wang Bo said with a smile, "I'm in for dinner tonight." ”
Wang Bo asked Chen Feier for a role, Zhang Pu was not surprised, and even expected it.
This guy has always been like that.
There is nothing wrong with helping your girlfriend as much as you can.
If Zhang Pu stands in Wang Bo's point of view, he will do the same.
Chen Fei'er starred in Mel, which inevitably had a little worse taste. However, it is not impossible to play the role of a dream builder.
Whether it will work or not, it is still after the audition.
Zhang Pu and Wang Bo have a good personal relationship, but this film gives him great ambitions, so naturally he will not make a decision easily.
Of course, if it is under the same conditions, Chen Fei'er will naturally be given priority.
When Zhang Pu returned to the company, "Detective Chinatown" had already exceeded one billion.
The film grossed nearly 300 million on the first day of release, won the single-day box office championship, and won for a week.
"It may be a little difficult for "Detective Chinatown" to break 2 billion, but the difference is not too big, and it is definitely a little better than the previous film in Tongcheng. Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu, "Then the second part can also be filmed." ”
For this series of movies, Zhang Pu took three scripts at the beginning.
The first script, set in Thailand, was not expensive to shoot and produce.
It's also a test of the waters.
Now it seems that the director Tong Cheng has been successfully completed.
However, the second part is in the United States and the third part is in Japan.
The cost of the film naturally increases.
As the cost increases, the film naturally becomes more exciting.
Judging from the performance of the first part, the second part is promising.
Jiang Xingwen is still very optimistic about the box office of this film.
Tongcheng has made achievements, and it should also increase investment.
"Then shoot it. Zhang Pu said.
Oriental DreamWorks has abundant funds, and the big productions basically do not lose money, and the funds are returned to place.
Even if the investment in film and television peripherals and other products is increased, the working capital is still extremely large, and there is no pressure to start shooting several blockbusters at the same time.
What's more, the profitability of film and television peripherals and other products is also amazing.
Even if the special effects company is already making a profit now, relying on its own profit is enough for the company's own development, and there is no need for Zhang Pu to throw money into it.
Several blockbusters have made the special effects company the top in the world.
Nowadays, it not only covers most of the domestic business, but also has many international and regional contacts such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
"What about your new film?" Jiang Xingwen asked, "Are you going to start preparing, or are you going to take a break for a while?"
"You want to talk about the selection of actors in the film, right?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Jiang Xingwen is looking for himself today, probably not for the box office of "Detective Chinatown" and the arrangement of the sequel, but for his new film.
"It's a little annoying. Jiang Xingwen nodded and smiled bitterly and said.
The news of Zhang Pu's new film only revealed some information, and there were too many people looking for the door.
There are internal and external companies.
If he decides on the actor or something, he will be idle.
"Then start preparing and then arrange for someone to audition. Zhang Pu said.
There are so many people who directly find him, and there must be more people looking for Jiang Xingwen.
"A lot of studios are interested in your film. Jiang Xingwen continued, "What about your opinion?"
What is interested, it is nothing more than wanting to drink some soup along with it.
"What do you think?" Zhang Pu frowned and said, "Although the investment in this film is large, it is unlikely to lose money." I still have that confidence. However, this film will be shot in 3D-IMAX format, which is inevitably beyond the reach of Oriental DreamWorks alone. ”
Jiang Xingwen nodded, and he naturally understood what Zhang Pu meant.
Huaying will definitely invest, and it is difficult to refuse.
As for other film and television companies, how to operate, this needs to be discussed.
How can you maximize your benefits.
Eating alone is not necessarily maximizing benefits.
Zhang Pu's new film began to prepare, and as soon as the news came out, the whole circle was shaken.
There are more and more people who are recommended to come to auditions.
"Your new film is about to start filming?" Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu with a smile.
When Zhang Pu heard this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough!
Some things are just guessed.
Xu Jiadong, who rarely comes to the company, came at this time, except for this matter, it seems that there is really nothing.
"When you come to the company, can't it be something else?" Zhang Pu said a little speechlessly, "Which actress are you going to recommend this time? Haven't you already changed your past and turned back? You are like this, no wonder Li Yixin has always refused to nod." ”
"I haven't even said it yet!" Xu Jiadong pouted.
I'm just asking you about the new film.
"When did you come to the company and ask me if I recommended actresses for my new film, and then asked me to deal with the aftermath for you?" Zhang Pu said, "I'll say okay first, there are only two actress roles in my new film, and the actresses in the company are fiercely competing, and you want to stuff female stars from other companies in, no way." ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Xu Jiadong's face, and then he said: "This time it's not me who recommends an actor to you, but Li Yixin." ”
"She?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Give Han Xiaotong a role?"
Xu Jiadong nodded.
"She really doesn't think of herself as an outsider!" Zhang Pu pouted.
He has always had a good impression of Li Yixin, but this time he was a little disgusted.
If she is Xu Jiadong's girlfriend, there is nothing to say. Asking for a role for your best friend is nothing, it's all a family, and you don't have to see each other so much.
But while she didn't respond to Xu Jiadong's pursuit, she repeatedly asked Xu Jiadong to ask her best friend for resources.
That's a bit of a stretch.
When Han Xiaotong mentioned this in front of her, she casually asked me. Xu Jiadong seemed to see what Zhang Pu was thinking, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"The feeling is that you want to use this matter to please her!" Zhang Pu said with some disdain, "When did the playboy Xu Jiadong become a licking dog? Besides, are you sure that the two of them mentioned this in front of you on purpose?"
"Licking the dog?" Xu Jiadong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't you know that you are very beaten by this? In addition, I have been crisscrossing the flowers, what woman has never seen, do you think I will be calculated by a woman? Don't underestimate my eyes on women!"
What if a playboy has a good eye for a woman, and they will care about a woman's scheming?
They only have faces and bodies in their eyes......
"If you are stuck in a bottleneck chasing a woman, then you can take a detour and start with the people around her to break the deadlock. Xu Jiadong continued, "If her best friend helps you say good things, then she will get twice the result with half the effort." I'll tell you, you don't understand. ”
"I really don't understand, since I was a child, I never chased girls, girls chased me. Zhang Pu said lightly, "How can an attractive man understand the idea of licking a dog?"
Xu Jiadong: ......
This bastard, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat him, he really couldn't help it.
Licking a dog?
Bullshit licking dog, I, Xu Jiadong, seems to be licking ......
Is this a humiliation for yourself?
How could I, Xu Jiadong, fall to this!
"Gone!"
Xu Jiadong felt that he might still be pricked if he stayed, so it was better to leave early.
"Gone?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, a word of advice for you: licking a dog will only be a spare tire!"
Xu Jiadong just walked out of the office door, and when he heard Zhang Pu's words, he almost fell headlong.
This bastard!
