Chapter 389: It's not the first time he's done this
Zhang Pu is not ridiculed as a "nouveau riche", perhaps because of a combination of many reasons.
This has something to do with his style.
For example, no matter where he goes, there are few big battles, and many times Tan Siming follows.
Who is Tan Siming?
Today, he is much more well-known than many third-tier stars.
Zhang Pu's assistant, bodyguard, and driver, it is said that before Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui were together, he also worked as a cook and cleaning for Zhang Pu's family.
This person, who was discharged from the army and worked as a security guard in a small community in his hometown, and received a salary of more than 2,000 yuan, has now undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, Tan Siming had so many jobs, maybe he just wanted to earn more money. But now Tan Siming is still doing those jobs, which is obviously not a matter of money.
Oriental DreamWorks is treated with the best in the circle, and Zhang Pu is not a stingy person, especially when he treats the people around him.
Zhang Pu is like this, compared with those star artists who make big battles from time to time, it goes without saying who is more like an upstart.
The popularity of "Zhang Pu and others skewering on the street" came and went quickly.
In fact, the popularity of many topics can continue, in addition to the continuous "new materials" breaking out, there are also reasons for the promotion of the company behind it.
Zhang Pu has no new film released, and there is no need to hype up the topic.
Perhaps, even if a new film is released, it will not be hyped up about it.
Oriental DreamWorks does not promote the hype, and even deliberately suppresses the heat, there is nothing new to break out of this matter, and the heat fades quickly, so it is not surprising.
The preparations for "Transformers" are proceeding in an orderly manner.
It was fast to November.
"It's a pity!"
Jiang Xingwen said with some regret.
"It's a pity. Zhang Pu nodded.
"Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was released for more than a month, and when it was released, the cumulative box office exceeded 900 million.
One step away from the billion mark.
Regrets?
It's a pity.
More than 900 million and 1 billion, the meaning is completely different.
But a low-cost romance film, winning a box office of 900 million, has stunned countless people.
Isn't that a surprise enough?
If the box office of such a small-budget film breaks one billion, how can other films be embarrassed?
Are there still fewer filmmakers racking their brains to break the billion box office mark?
This film has a higher box office than the original.
This is expected by Zhang Pu, after all, the film market is larger, and the box office appeal of the main creative lineup is stronger.
It's just that he didn't expect it to be so tall.
Although the box office did not break the billion mark, it was much higher than the expectations of Zhang Pu and others.
"Gao Wang's shame this time. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.
Gao Wang entered the film industry at the beginning, and he pounced miserably, if it weren't for this, Xu Jiadong would not have paid attention to Zhang Pu at the beginning, and it is estimated that there would be no Oriental DreamWorks today.
It sounds like there is today's Oriental DreamWorks, and Gao Wang seems to have contributed greatly.
But for Gao Wang, I'm afraid it's more of a shame!
There are many failures for TV bigwigs to enter the film industry, but who is as memorable as Gao Wang, and is often ridiculed.
It is precisely because of his failure that the Oriental DreamWorks is what it is today?
Isn't that a shame what?
"Tasting the sweetness of the movie, he probably won't be able to go back. Zhang Pu said.
After Zhang Pu entered the Oriental DreamWorks, this was the first movie made by Gao Wang.
But the fame and fortune that this movie brought him is not comparable to those previous TV series.
Even if he has filmed many popular TV series.
And that's just a small-budget film.
He used to be a loser, but now he's definitely the most successful TV director in the film industry.
"He's also an old man in the company, so you didn't want to help him?" Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.
It seems that Gao Wang has found Jiang Xingwen.
This is probably the purpose of Jiang Xingwen looking for him today!
Gao Wang, a small-budget movie, won 900 million box office. This is only the domestic box office, of course, the foreign box office is not very good.
Such a successful director, if he wants to open a new film, he has to support the company.
What's more, before this, Gao Wang had already filmed several extremely successful TV series.
But how can we support it?
Gao Wang's desire is obviously more than just investment.
In fact, he also knows very well that there is one thing that cannot be ignored why "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is so successful, that is, the script came out of Zhang Pu's hands.
Gao Wang wanted Zhang Pu's script.
"Isn't there a script in the screenwriting department?" Zhang Pu frowned and said.
Oriental DreamWorks is no longer what it used to be, and if you always count on him to give the script, it is obviously not possible.
Jiang Xingwen just smiled.
When Zhang Pu saw it, he understood.
How to choose the script of the screenwriting department and Zhang Pu's script, this is very easy to judge.
"Where did I get so many scripts!" Zhang Pu said, "Even if there is, it may not be suitable for high hopes! Write one for him, do you think I have that time now?"
"Is there really any stock suitable for high hopes?" Jiang Xingwen asked with some disbelief.
Zhang Pu will write scripts when he has time, and his habit is known to those who are familiar with him.
He writes scripts, sometimes very quickly, and he can produce one in a few days.
Sometimes it is very slow, ten days and a half months, and it may not be possible to write the first draft well, especially the kind of script that requires a lot of information, then it will be even slower.
"Not a single stock is gone, let alone a suitable one. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "You guys figure it out for yourselves." ”
Zhang Pu couldn't see what Jiang Xingwen had in mind.
Perhaps, it's not that Gao Wang wants his script at all, but that Jiang Xingwen is using this excuse to "squeeze" Zhang Pu's script.
Jiang Xingwen is not the first time he has done this.
Seen through?
Jiang Xingwen smiled awkwardly.
Oriental DreamWorks naturally can't completely count on Zhang Pu to give the script.
Jiang Xingwen did this, and the company's contracted directors did the same.
It is naturally best to have a script, and you can't force it without a script.
Before "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", weren't the two TV series filmed by Gao Wang not written by Zhang Pu?
Although those two TV series are not as popular as those written by Zhang Pu, they are also successful.
Although everyone knows that Zhang Pu can't be expected to give the script, his script is too fragrant, so naturally someone will hit this idea from time to time. At this time, Jiang Xingwen will not only push the boat smoothly, but also cooperate very actively.
Good scripts are hard to come by.
"How about giving Gao Wang the Iron Fist of Shame?" Jiang Xingwen said.
"Aren't you afraid that Lin Mu has an opinion?" Zhang Pu said.
When "The Iron Fist of Shame" entered the company by Lin Mu, the script had already come out.
It's just that Lin Mu chose "The Richest Man in Xihong City" among many scripts.
Later, filming films such as "Thai Embarrassment" seems to have forgotten this script.
"What can he say?" Jiang Xingwen said, "Shaolin Football has not been completed in the later stage, not to mention that he still has a script in his hand that has not been filmed!"
The script is naturally the next film shot by Lin Mu.
Title: "Kung Fu"!
However, this film is estimated to go next year.
"Then give it to him!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.
Gao Wang's directorial level is still extremely good, and it is no problem to control this film.
It's just that how much difference it will be from the original version, Zhang Pu doesn't know.
As for the box office, who can tell.
Zhang Pu brought a lot of works from his previous life to this world, some of which were much higher than the original box office, and some were much lower than the original box office.
The original box office of "Iron Fist of Shame" broke two billion, and this world is not easy.
The directors are different, the actors are different......
Whether it's the box office of the original version or word of mouth, it doesn't have much reference value.
"Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" will be released, and the next highlight of Oriental DreamWorks will naturally be "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" will be broadcast.
Subsequently, it is naturally the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" released on New Year's Day and Christmas, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" released during the Spring Festival.
These are all related to Zhang Pu.
The TV series was written by him, the original book of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was written by him, and he also participated in the screenwriting of the script for the second film in this series. The most important thing is the first film in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series directed by him, "Looking for the Dragon", which once topped the domestic box office list.
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is naturally also Zhang Pu's script.
These two movies and a TV series are not only the highlight of Oriental DreamWorks, but also the focus of the film and television industry.
"Haven't you seen it?"
"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was launched, and Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui were lying on the sofa ready to contribute a little ratings to the first work directed by Wang Bo.
"Where do I have time? There are more than 50 episodes of this TV series. Zhang Pu shook his head with a smile and said, "A few days ago, I finally found time to watch "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2". ”
"How about that movie?" asked Xu Jiahui curiously.
Zhang Pu is very busy and doesn't have time to watch this TV series in advance. Even if he could find time to take a look in advance, he probably wouldn't be that interested.
"Pretty good. Zhang Pu said, "As for whether the box office can surpass "Dragon Hunting", it's hard to say." "Looking for the Dragon" can achieve such a box office, there are many factors that are difficult to replicate. ”
Xu Jiahui nodded.
Even if Xu Ming's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is better than Zhang Pu's version, it may not be able to have Zhang Pu's version of the box office.
There are too many factors that determine the box office of a film, and the film itself is only one of them.
Of course, the film itself is the most crucial.
"If the word of mouth does not jump, the box office should not be bad. Xu Jiahui said, "Then this series of movies will continue to be filmed?"
"The screenwriting department is already working on the adaptation. Zhang Pu said, "It's just that it's still not directed by Xu Ming, and it's still uncertain." The company had offered him an invitation, but he said he would wait until the film was released. ”
"The film's reputation or box office is poor, and under the pressure of public opinion, even if your company invites him, he is probably embarrassed to continue directing. Xu Jiahui said.
Between the two talking, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" began.
