Chapter 275: Could it be that my character is about to explode again

The film directed by Jiang Yun won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for the second consecutive year.

This is definitely eye-popping news and unbelievable news.

The news was transmitted back to the country and the pan was fried in an instant. Everyone knows that winning the Palme d'Or is more difficult than winning the Oscar for Best Picture.

"Produced by the East Factory, it must be a high-quality product!"

This resounded on the Internet again, and it was also recognized by more people.

Oriental DreamWorks is once again in the limelight.

Not long ago, the film produced by investment just won five statuettes at the Oscars, and now it has won the Palme d'Or in Cannes for a second time.

It's terrifying!

And these two films also have a common feature, that is, Zhang Pu is the screenwriter.

It is rumored that Zhang Pu focuses on the box office and light on awards.

This rumor may be true, but it doesn't mean that he can't make an award-winning movie.

It's just that he doesn't like it.

"Farewell My Concubine", which he wrote before, will not be mentioned for the time being, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite", which have not yet been released, may not perform badly in the awards.

As for the box office, I'm afraid it won't be bad. Just think of "Farewell My Concubine".

"Parasite" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, and the voice on the Internet that Jiang Yun was not as good as Zhang Ke dissipated instantly.

It is an indisputable fact that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" defeated films such as "Farewell My Concubine" and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

It is inevitable to be chewed by some people.

After all, "Farewell My Concubine" did lose to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". No matter what the reason, if he becomes the king or loses, Jiang Yun is said to be inferior to Zhang Ke.

He could only grit his teeth and remain silent.

Of course, there is no reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not yet been released.

If it is released and everyone has seen it, it is estimated that the sound will be smaller and the controversy will be bigger.

And now, Jiang Yun has once again proved his strength.

Winning the Cannes Palme d'Or for a second consecutive year, who dares to say that he is worse than whom?

I don't know why, Zhang Pu has an indescribable sense of coolness when he sees the topics of "Chinese films winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes".

It's cooler than when "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, and it's much cooler.

Zhang Pu thought about it carefully, this coolness did not come from "winning for a second time", but turning a Korean movie into a Chinese-language movie and winning an international award!

Don't you want the Dragon Boat Festival?

I'm not too much to turn another world, your movie into a movie of this world, right?

Maybe that indescribable feeling of refreshment is actually a sense of achievement.

If a Hollywood movie is adapted into a Chinese-language movie, will it win the Oscar?

The thought flashed through my mind.

I'm afraid there is still a big difference between the Oscars and Cannes.

What's more, there are cultural differences between the East and the West, and some things are put in the East, I'm afraid it is unreasonable and unreasonable.

Of course, not all Hollywood films can't be set in the East.

However, if you take classic Hollywood movies and make money from Westerners, it should also be very fulfilling, right?

Cai Ya and Huang Ye came back from Cannes and immediately joined the crew.

However, with them, there was Jiang Yun.

This made Zhang Pu a little surprised.

"Shouldn't the teacher be cheering from the whole country now?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Why do you have time to visit my crew?"

"Not welcome?" Jiang Yun pouted.

"Welcome, how can you not be welcome?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Listen, you have a script that you are going to invite Director Xiangjiang to film?" Jiang Yun said suddenly.

"The teacher doesn't want to direct "Infernal Affairs", right?" Zhang Pu said with some surprise.

"I've read the script, and it's undoubtedly a good decision to find a director from Xiangjiang to direct it. Jiang Yun said, "Do you have any scripts that are suitable for me?"

"Isn't the teacher going to take a break?" hasn't been released yet?" Zhang Pu said with some surprise.

That's too positive, isn't it?

Hey?

Isn't that bad? Is it that when you become a salted fish, you are happy?

Zhang Pu seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his thoughts.

He is not only Jiang Yun's student, but also his boss!

When is the boss afraid that the employee is motivated to work?

"He's afraid that some people will be the first to get there!" Cai Ya said with a smile.

It is self-evident who certain people are.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he was a little speechless.

Is this teacher still angry about giving Zhang Ke the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

"Teacher, even if you shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", won't "Parasite" be missed?" Zhang Pu said.

This seems to make a lot of sense.

"Why did you miss it? Can't you shoot both?" Jiang Yun said, "Why don't you choose one or the other, you can't have them all? If it's all for me, I won't run your crew now!"

"Old Jiang, you can't be too greedy. Cai Ya said.

"Children make choices, adults want all. Jiang Yun said, "I'm old, can't I make more good films?"

"Okay!" Zhang Pu said quickly.

This took out everything he said on the variety show.

"Is there a script?" Jiang Yun smiled when he heard it.

Isn't that what he's here for?

Many people in the company know that Zhang Pu wrote scripts when he was fine, and he probably knows how much inventory he has now.

"Yes!" Zhang Pu said, "I'll ask Lao Tan to send you an email address later." If you are not satisfied, then you can only wait until I finish filming this drama. ”

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded.

Zhang Pu's script may be good, but he may not like it all.

Jiang Yun didn't stay in the crew for long, and went back soon.

The popularity of winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes has also dissipated over time.

On Friday, April 28, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released simultaneously around the world.

The domestic single-day box office of "Jingwu Heroes" is only about one million, and the next painting is imminent.

However, the box office of this film has doubled compared to expectations, and now the box office has exceeded 600 million.

This box office undoubtedly made many people blush.

This is a film with a small investment, and it is also an independent investment by Oriental DreamWorks. If you add foreign box office sharing and copyright, this film will bring at least 300 million revenue to Oriental DreamWorks.

It is estimated that the bank robbery is not as fast as theirs!

Isn't that eye-popping?

Therefore, the second kung fu film "Ip Man" directed by Yuan Hong, written by Zhang Pu, and starring Zhang Chu, has just come out, and countless investors have already talked about cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks.

Small investment, big returns, who is not impressed?

"It's inconvenient for you to reveal the script for Director Jiang?" Chen Huatao asked Zhang Pu with a smile while he was resting.

Jiang Yunran the crew to ask Zhang Pu for the script, and Chen Huatao naturally knew about it.

And I heard it later, Jiang Yun was very satisfied with the script.

"What, you're interested?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Who in the circle isn't interested?" Mr. Chen said.

He has a good relationship with Zhang Pu, and relatively speaking, there is no small opportunity.

Of course, compared with the artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, the chances are smaller.

But what if Zhang Pu and their company don't have a suitable actor?

A director who has won the Palme d'Or at Cannes for a second time, who is not interested in his new film, regardless of the size of his wrist in the circle?

"The story of the teacher's new film is actually very simple. Truman is the protagonist of a popular soap opera, everything around him is fake, his relatives and friends are all actors, but he himself knows nothing about it......"

Zhang Pu's script for Jiang Yun is "Truman's World"!

He didn't even change the title of this film.

Huaxia is not without the surname Chu.

Of course, the names of the other characters have naturally been modified, and the content has also been slightly modified.

In Zhang Pu's mind, there are many classic Hollywood films, but there are not many that are suitable for transforming into Chinese-language movies.

At least not a lot of it was on his mind.

The classic Hollywood movies are not all in his head.

The movies that come to mind the most are actually popcorn movies.

"Do you think I have a chance?" asked Chen Huatao with a smile.

"I can ask the teacher for you. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Priority is given to corporate artists, as is the case with any film and television company.

Chen Huatao naturally knew it.

When he asked, he actually wanted to know if Oriental DreamWorks had a suitable actor.

Zhang Pu is a screenwriter after all, and he naturally knows if the company has suitable actors.

"Thank you then. Chen Huatao said with a smile.

He sighed in his heart, and it was not difficult to hear from Zhang Pu's words that Oriental DreamWorks had suitable actors.

"When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is released, will [5200] break the box office record?" Chen Huatao then asked.

Fans of this film have high expectations.

"The total box office is estimated to be, but the domestic box office... It's difficult!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.

This film is aimed at the Western market, and domestic fans may not like it.

Of course, the box office of the film should be extremely good.

As for how far it will go, Zhang Pu is really hard to predict.

The original box office has no reference value.

The publicity and distribution are different, the box office appeal is different, and even the size of the film market is different.

However, I don't think it will be worse than "Jingwu Heroes"!

Maybe it's not impossible to break a billion.

It's just that the Chinese movies that are now at the top of the domestic box office list are as high as 1.7 billion.

Zhang Pu doesn't think "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a chance to break this record.

"You mean the film will be very strong at the foreign box office?" Mr. Chen said.

"The film itself is aimed at the Western market. If the foreign box office does not work, it is a failure. Zhang Pu said, "In the past, most Chinese movies were hot inside and cold outside, but this film may be the opposite, I'm afraid it's cold inside and hot outside." ”

"Really?"

Chen Huatao shook his head, somewhat surprised.

Zhang Pu doesn't need to lie to him, then it means that Zhang Pu wrote a martial arts film that echoes the taste of Westerners.

That's not easy.

Judging from the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Oscars, Zhang Pu is obviously successful.

The box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the first day of China came out quickly, which was somewhat unexpected, and it seems reasonable to think about it.

The first-day box office of nearly 200 million directly broke the single-day box office record.

Do you want to explode your character again?

When Zhang Pu learned that the box office broke the record on the first day, this thought flashed through his mind.

However, then he smiled dumbly.

The first-day box office only.

Zhang Keben is the director with the most box office appeal in China.

And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also has Zhang Pu's screenwriter bonus, and has the blessing of the box office appeal of actors such as Li Zhen, Chen Han, Zhou Chaohua, and Xiao Xue.

In addition, the film also has the halo of five Oscar statuettes.

The director, screenwriter, and cast are all very appealing at the box office, and there is the topic of Oscars, and the box office on the first day broke the single-day box office record, which seems to be nothing surprising.

Whether it really explodes in character, I'm afraid it depends on the staying power of this film.
