Why did Zhang Pu choose to use this "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle" to cooperate with Universal Pictures?

Obviously, it's not just about using the influence of the film to make a profit on the game.

There will be no cultural differences between the East and the West in this film, which will make it unacceptable to fans of one side.

This is a film aimed at the global market.

Of course, you can also praise the company's artists.

Zhang Pu's script is naturally a little different from the original.

Especially on the characters, there are a lot of adjustments.

For example, the female fighter character Robbie Wonder House in it was replaced by the Chinese character Rosa.

When the four leading actors, Zhang Pu just replaced this with a Chinese actor. Of course, in the whole play, there must not be only one Chinese character.

The seaplane McDonald, who only appeared later in the film, was also replaced by a Chinese character Donald.

One female protagonist, one male supporting role.

Step by step!

If there are too many, Universal Film and Television will definitely have opinions.

In addition, in the film, Zhang Pu also added some Chinese elements to it.

Kung Fu is naturally essential.

"I didn't say I wasn't optimistic!" Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said.

Judging from the script, this film is still very valuable for filming.

Jiang Xingwen saw that Zhang Pu was thinking about it comprehensively.

"You should have given the role of Rosa to Tang Rui, right? What about Donner?" Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu and asked.

Rosa's role is also suitable for Tang Rui.

Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi are a few points apart.

They haven't even arrived at the front line in China, and they are still a lot away from going international.

However, there is more than one person in the company who is suitable for the role of Donna.

Deng Kun is suitable, and Zhang Chu is also suitable.

Zhang Chu is now far inferior to Deng Kun in popularity and popularity. But after the commercialization of "Ip Man" and "Storm and Clouds", I am afraid that there is still not much problem on the front line.

In addition, there is a variety show to accumulate popularity.

"Give it to Deng Kun!" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "After "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", I will make two movies starring my brother. ”

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

He actually prefers to give this role to Deng Kun.

As for whether Zhang Ke and Universal Film and Television can afford this script, Jiang Xingwen and others obviously have no worries.

"By the way, are you going to the Oscars?" Jiang Xingwen said.

"Look!" Zhang Pu thought for a while and said, ""The Storm and the Storm will start in a few days, and if I don't have time at that time, I won't go." ”

Jiang Xingwen wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything.

Zhang Pu is estimated to be the first Chinese filmmaker who has little interest in attending the Oscars.

A few days later, "Storm and Storm" was launched.

This film has received a lot of media attention, Zhang Pu just wants to be low-key, it is estimated that it is difficult, rather than this, it is better to hold a start-up press conference directly.

Director Zhang Chu, starring Deng Kun, Zhang Chu, Dong Qin, Guo Yunxi, and even Japanese actor Chiba Kenichi, and Korean actor Song Xian were all present.

"Director Zhang, is "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" a historical war and hegemony film?"

During the reporter's question session, a reporter couldn't wait to ask.

History, wars, struggles for hegemony?

It seems that just looking at the title of the film, it seems to be really a bit similar.

"No!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Fengyun refers to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and Xiongba is also a personal name. Tianxia refers to the martial arts gang Tianxia Association in the film. ”

"Martial arts gangs, is this a martial arts film?" asked another reporter.

The name of this film turned out to be the name of three people and one gang name.

Martial arts films?

Is Zhang Pu going to adjust martial arts films?

"There are some differences from martial arts films in the traditional sense. Zhang Pu said, "The martial arts in the film are more fantasy. If the previous martial arts films were low-martial arts, this film can be regarded as high-martial arts. So this film will add a lot of special effects. ”

In fact, Zhang Pu has mentioned this before.

However, at that time, the topic was not very hot, and many people did not pay attention to it.

What I paid attention to at the time is probably forgotten now.

"Director Zhang, what purpose are you shooting such a film?" the reporter asked, "Martial arts are biased towards propaganda and add special effects, do you want to find another way out for martial arts films?"

Gao Wu?

Isn't it a martial arts movie?

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", martial arts films have come back to glory, but the box office is still unsatisfactory, and almost all of the slightly larger ones have lost money.

Those small-budget martial arts films have been popular on the Internet for a while.

The martial arts film market is still sluggish.

Zhang Pu made such a film, and the risk was not small.

Judging from the cast, the investment and production cost of this film is not low.

"It's just an experiment. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "If this film is successful, it may not be able to stimulate the martial arts film market." However, it may open the door to fantasy films. ”

The original version of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is because of the comic foundation, so the style is called the comic style by many people.

However, this world does not have one.

So with the original version as a reference, there may still be a comic style, but I'm afraid it's more fantasy.

Of course, in Zhang Pu's view, it is at most a low fantasy.

Maybe this film is popular, not only will people pay attention to fantasy films, but Xianxia movies may also be paid attention to by many people.

The fairy tale movies in this world are still blank!

Was there a past life?

Naturally, there are, and there are quite a few.

For example, "Zhu Xian".

Well, don't mention this film!

In Zhang Pu's opinion, this film is not as good as "The Legend of Shushan" twenty years ago!

It's just a pity that the "Legend of Shushan" has been regarded as a classic by many people twenty years later, but when it was released twenty years ago, it made everyone doubt their lives and directly made the director stunned.

Twenty years later, the special effects are amazing, why did they lose money twenty years ago?

This is indeed food for thought.

Not all good movies have a good box office.

Obviously, the timing of the release of "The Legend of Shushan" was wrong.

At that time, the market was already small, and Xianxia films did not have any market foundation.

The market is a factor that cannot be ignored in films.

Just like now, if Zhang Puruo filmed "The Legend of Shushan", with his current box office appeal, I am afraid that there is a risk of pounce.

Even if the Internet is popular at this time, Xianxia films have a certain market foundation.

Zhang Pu's new film started filming, which still attracted a lot of attention.

After all, he is now the domestic box office record setter.

And he will shoot a fantasy martial arts film, which has also caused great heated discussions on the Internet.

Today, this kind of film is still a blank.

Even, the TV series is a blank.

There may be a lot of mythological TV series, but there are really no fantasy ones, not even Xianxia TV series.

However, Oriental DreamWorks is clearly already starting to lay out.

The script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhang Pu has already given it to Jiang Xingwen, and Su Yuan's next TV series will shoot this.

As for the last part of the "Condor Trilogy", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhang Pu actually wrote it.

It's just a company's opinion, let's slow it down.

Because after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular, martial arts dramas are now a bit flooded.

After "The Condor Heroes", there are still several martial arts dramas to be broadcast.

This is likely to lead to aesthetic fatigue among the audience for martial arts dramas.

Movies depend on the market, and the same is true for TV series. Just like after "Bright Sword" and "Snow Leopard", anti-Japanese films have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, resulting in today's anti-Japanese films hitting the streets one after another.

Even the extremely high-quality anti-Japanese films have hit the streets, which is obviously the audience's aesthetic fatigue with this film.

After "Langya Bang" became popular, that kind of costume conspiracy drama became popular, and there were countless works that followed the trend.

I don't know if Gao Wang saw this, or for other reasons, he is now preparing a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama.

Yes, the first script released by the editorial department of Oriental DreamWorks was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama.

This span made Zhang Pu a little surprised.

However, after reading the script, Zhang Pu felt that Gao Wang's vision was good.

He also felt that the drama was very likely.

"My dad said that more and more people are going to the village now. ”

When resting, Zhang Chu paused next to Zhang Pu with a boxed lunch and said.

When "Longing for Life" was broadcast, Zhang Pu's hometown village was on fire, and the number of people who went there increased, which was also expected.

"You didn't delay the recording of the show, did you?" Zhang Pu said.

"Not really. Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear anything from what I said?"

"What?"

Zhang Pu looked over suspiciously.

"Okay!" Zhang Chu was helpless, and then said, "How long have you not called back? If you call back, will the second uncle not tell you this?"

"I know you're busy, but you can't even find time to make a phone call?" Zhang Chu's voice was a little stern, and he said, "Grandparents, they're getting older. ”

"I'll take my time. Zhang Pu was a little embarrassed.

If Zhang Chu hadn't said it, he really hadn't thought of this stubble.

He just wanted to go home for the New Year and accompany them. But I didn't think about calling and talking to my family, even if it was just to listen to them!

Many times what happened at home, he heard Zhang Chu mention it.

I didn't care about it before, but now that Zhang Chu said it, he reacted.

He has done much worse than Zhang Chu in this regard.

Just when the two were chatting about family matters, Deng Kun, who was not far away, asked Dong Qin suspiciously.

"Has Director Zhang always been like this?"

"So what?" Dong Qin asked suspiciously.

Deng Kun pointed to the dishes on the table.

"Hmm!" Dong Qin nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry." Director Zhang can't open a small stove, but he doesn't care if others can open a small stove. However, Director Zhang's crew has always had good food. ”

Deng Kun smiled, but suddenly felt that the sumptuous dishes in front of him were not so delicious.

It is undoubtedly very common for celebrities, especially big names, to open a small stove in the crew.

Some of them are for arrangement, and some are purely because the crew's box lunch is too unpalatable to swallow.

Acting is also very physically demanding, if you don't have enough to eat, and the physical exertion is large, how can you shoot this scene?

They have the conditions to open a small stove, so why can't they eat a boxed lunch with themselves?

Of course, some of them are prepared by their own assistants, and some of them require the crew to prepare.

Deng Kun was a little glad that he didn't trouble the crew. If Zhang Pu is left a bad impression because of this, it will outweigh the losses.
