Chapter 480: It's Not Interesting
It's another Spring Festival, and Zhang Pu hasn't calculated how many years he has been in this world.
A few years ago, Zhang Pu participated in the premiere of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".
This time, Xu Jiahui still did not accompany him.
This has left some media outlets a little confused.
Oriental DreamWorks movies, Zhang Pu participated in the premiere in the past, and Xu Jiahui was bound to accompany him.
But it seems that I haven't seen Xu Jiahui several times?
Could it be that something is wrong with the relationship between the two?
Or ......
It seems that Xu Jiahui has not appeared in front of the public for a long time, if she is not gradually withdrawing from the entertainment industry, then there is some special reason.
Xu Jiahui can't be pregnant, right?
"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is an animated movie, Zhang Pu has already seen it.
This film follows the original plot, the painting style is also very similar, and the special effects obviously surpass the original.
After all, in terms of production costs, Oriental DreamWorks is not short of money and can strive for perfection.
What's more, this film itself belongs to the big IP of "Journey to the West", if it is too bad, it will obviously affect the commercial value of this big IP.
There are still some differences in the characters in the film.
For example, the monkey face inside is not so long, and there is also an extra tail. And in terms of action design, its tail is also integrated into it.
This film, whether it is special effects or others, Zhang Pu feels that it has surpassed the original.
As for the box office, Zhang Pu is not worried.
The investment in this film is not high.
Well, it's just not high compared to other blockbusters of Oriental DreamWorks.
With an investment of more than 100 million, a box office of 3.5 billion can pay off.
Even if the box office can't be reached on the first day, won't it be okay in two or three days?
This film is a screenwriter and producer by Zhang Pu, and he also participated in the production gimmick.
Although the director is not Zhang Pu, the director is not unknown.
What's more, this film has also rubbed off on the popularity of the big IP of "Journey to the West".
The success of "Havoc in Heaven" has made the box office appeal of this IP increase a lot.
The investment in this film is not high, but the film schedule is not low. It's not the highest, but it's not the same.
"Did the box office break 300 million on the first day?" Xu Jiahui asked Zhang Pu with a smile.
She actually wanted to watch this film, after "Kung Fu Panda", many fans fell in love with animated movies, and Xu Jiahui was just one of them.
It's a pity that after she became pregnant, it was not suitable to go to the theater.
Now she can't even touch her mobile phone and computer without touching it.
Fear of radiation, it's not good for children.
This kind of thing, for parents, would rather be believed.
"Almost. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "The film of Extreme Pictures broke 300 million and won the single-day box office championship. ”
"It's a rarity. Xu Jiahui said with a smile.
It's rare that Oriental DreamWorks' films didn't win the single-day box office champion in the same schedule.
"The reputation of that film is not as good as "The Return of the Great Sage". Zhang Pu said with a smile, "What's more, the company's investment in this film is not high." ”
The meaning is very clear, "The Return of the Great Sage" has the possibility of counterattack.
Even if the investment in the film is not high.
Even if there is no counterattack, such an investment and winning such a box office is undoubtedly a big profit.
Even if it doesn't become the highest-grossing film in this schedule, it is definitely the biggest winner.
And the fact is as Zhang Pu guessed, "The Return of the Great Sage" has an excellent reputation, although it has little to do with "Journey to the West", but it is also recognized by fans. On the second day of release, the box office increased unabated, directly breaking 300 million, squeezing the previous film and winning the single-day box office championship.
However, the single-day box office then fell to the 300 million mark.
But even so, the film was extremely successful.
This film won 2 billion box office, and it is estimated that it will be no problem.
This is much higher than the box office of the original.
Of course, after all, the market size is different, and the publicity efforts are different.
The film itself has also been upgraded.
The cumulative box office of this Spring Festival stall may be a little different from last year.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually faded, and the working atmosphere gradually became stronger, especially after the Lantern Festival.
Zhang Pu's family has returned to his hometown, and Zhang Pu has also begun to follow up on the post-production of "Inception".
Of course, the post-production of this film does not require him to keep an eye on it.
He could have found time to do something else.
""Iron Man" has been produced, and Warwick Pictures is asking about the release. Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu.
The film came a little later than expected.
Perhaps as the first film after Oriental DreamWorks acquired Warwick Pictures, it strives for excellence.
"What do you think?" Zhang Pu asked.
"Summer file, released worldwide. Jiang Xingwen said, "I talked to Mr. Han about this, no problem." ”
"Then it's going to be released in the summer. Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Which film is going to be released on May Day?"
"Jurassic Park 2!" Jiang Xingwen said.
"Oh!"
Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile. He didn't expect this film to be released.
There are actually quite a few films in the hands of Oriental DreamWorks.
"Detective Chinatown 2" has been in post-production, and Lin Mu, Gao Wang and others have new works. Xu Ming went out to wave for a while, and now he is back to continue filming the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and it is estimated that it will be started soon.
The film he filmed, although it didn't hit the streets, was really not good at the box office.
At this time, Xu Ming understood: money, it's really fragrant!
is busy with work, and the income is less than a fraction of the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
"I heard that director Zhang Ke's film has been completed. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.
That film was started behind Zhang Pu, and now it is finished, and its shooting cycle is obviously longer.
"There's no need!" Zhang Pu shook his head.
What's not necessary?
There's no need to snipe at this film.
"I thought you were going to snipe this film with Inception. Jiang Xingwen was stunned for a moment, and then said.
He was also ready to persuade him, but now it seems that he doesn't need to.
If Zhang Pu's previous temper was used, "Kung Fu Panda" was sniped by those film and television companies, and it would be strange that Zhang Pu didn't focus on this film.
Now Zhang Pu doesn't seem to be so eager to repay.
"It's boring. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
Zhang Pu's eyes have been set on the world, and he has long since regarded those domestic film and television companies as opponents.
What's more, if you push those film and television companies too much, it may not be a good thing for Oriental DreamWorks.
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites!
Those companies have a deep heritage, and it goes without saying that the network is connected.
It's really forcing them to be anxious, the movie can't fight, can't they go to the side door?
Oriental DreamWorks is now developing internationally, and domestic stability is the mainstay.
If you really fight with those film and television companies, not to mention the loss of both, it will definitely affect the pace of Oriental DreamWorks going international.
Zhang Pu is not young now, if it weren't for the fact that his temper has been curtailed a lot and he has more things to consider, he would have let Huang Ze be active in the entertainment industry?
Isn't it interesting?
Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu and did not continue the topic.
Maybe for Zhang Pukai, it is really not interesting to bully the weak.
He likes to challenge the strong.
The country is already invincible, so his eyes naturally look to Hollywood, where there is his opponent.
It is the people and companies there who are qualified to be his opponents.
After the Lantern Festival, within a few days, the shortlist of the new Golden Dragon Award was announced.
Although Zhang Pu has no works, he is also nominated.
He was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award for the film "Kung Fu".
And the movie "Kung Fu" has also become the film with the most nominations and awards from Oriental DreamWorks.
The film won 11 awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Chartered Wife), Best Supporting Actor (Chartered Father), Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack, Best Visual Effects, Best Cut, Best Newcomer (Dumb Girl), and Best Action Design.
This film is also the film with the most awards at this year's Golden Dragon Awards.
"Detective Chinatown", which was released on May 1st, did not get a nomination. Havoc in Heaven won three fringe awards: Best Visual Effects, Best Soundtrack, and Best Action Design.
And Wang Bo's "Chen Fei'er in Wonderland" is a bit surprising, not only shortlisted for Best Film, but also shortlisted for Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects and other awards.
Among them, the best picture and the best director are undoubtedly very heavy.
"I feel like I'm going to run with me this time. Wang Bo said to Zhang Pu.
"Yo, why are you so modest this time!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I thought you were going to have a good time with me." ”
Does Wang Bo have a chance to win the prize?
It's hard to say, anyway, Zhang Pu is not optimistic.
In his opinion, Wang Bo's chances of winning the award are definitely not as good as Lin Mu's chances of winning the award.
"If I don't say that, I'm afraid someone else will say that I don't know it. Wang Bo pouted and said.
"How is the preparation of Super Body?" Zhang Pu then asked.
The preparation of this film took relatively little time. At least it's much simpler than the previous film of King Bo.
As for the topic of the Golden Dragon Award, Zhang Pu is really not interested.
After all, he didn't have a film released last year, and there was a feeling of an outsider.
"It is estimated that it will be able to start up in early April. Wang Bo said.
"I heard that you went home with Chen Fei'er for the New Year?" Zhang Pu nodded, and then said with a smile, "Well, your parents seem to have gone with you." When are you going to get her parents?"
When the parents meet, and it is still during the Spring Festival, then nine times out of ten it is to talk about marriage.
"A person as good as me, her parents are rare, and I can't do it. Wang Bo said with an arrogant face, "There is no need to bother to do it, they didn't object to the two of us being together from the beginning." ”
Zhang Pu pouted and smiled.
Is it excellent?
Wang Bo really deserves these two words.
This guy's net worth is not low.
Of course, it can't be compared with Zhang Pu, but he is also a guy who owns countless properties in Yanjing.
"Is the wedding date set?" Zhang Pu then asked.
"I guess it's July, August, or August, September. Wang Bo shook his head and said, "It's still too early, and when it will be, we have to wait for the completion of "Super Body". ”
"If it's July, don't be in a hurry. Zhang Pu said.
When Wang Bo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then reacted.
Xu Jiahui's due date seems to be in July.
