Chapter 122: Zhang Pu swelled

The post-production difficulty of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is not great, and the special effects shots are also very simple. The film was completed before the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was no pressure in the post-production.

The reputation of this film will definitely not be bad, but Zhang Pu is really hard to say how the box office is.

Zhang Pu has seen the original movie, but he doesn't know much about its box office.

The time, place and people are different, and the box office is naturally difficult to estimate.

If nothing else, the market is different.

The original Japanese version of "The Tale of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", Zhang Pu did not watch it, and it is said that the box office is amazing in RB.

Zhang Pu watched the adapted version of "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", and also made a lot of adaptations, so that the story, characters and others are more in line with the Chinese background.

It's not so much a "move" as an adaptation.

Which is better or worse, the benevolent will see the benevolent.

This film is also an attempt by Zhang Pu.

Moving, it can't be the same layer.

However, Zhang Pu is very confident that this film will not lose money, and there may be surprises.

Anyway, this film is regarded by many fans as one of the top ten tear-jerking films in the world.

Touching movies, there has always been no shortage of fans.

What to shoot in the second movie, Zhang Pu has a lot of choices, why did he choose such a movie?

Maybe there are factors that blew it out at the beginning, but more consideration, I am still afraid of being stereotyped.

"Crazy Stone" is regarded as a comedy classic, and Zhang Pu is reluctant to be recognized as a comedy director by fans.

Once it is stereotyped in the hearts of fans, then you will make other types of films, which will be a little less attractive, and even a little more critical.

This is like a kung fu star suddenly filming a literary drama, will fans admit it?

I can make you laugh, I can make you cry, and I can make you scared......

A good director can manipulate the emotions of fans.

In August, the post-production of "Hachiko the Loyal Dog" was completed.

"How?"

Zhang Pu asked Han Shan and the others with a smile.

Perhaps because of Jiang Yun's existence, Zhang Pu was inevitably a little apprehensive.

It's like waiting for the teacher to correct the exam paper.

Han Shan rarely directs films now, but he is a director himself, and his vision is still extremely good.

Zhang Pu naturally attaches great importance to his opinions.

"Very good!"

Han Shan said with a smile.

This is not a compliment.

He won't compliment either, and there's no need to compliment.

In this film, he almost couldn't hold back his tears when he saw the end.

If he hadn't read the script beforehand, and he was always reading it with a critical eye when he read it, I'm afraid he couldn't help it.

This is a tear-jerking movie, and it's also a moisturizing and silent kind.

The front plot is warm, but it seems bland.

Or that the whole film gives people a bland feeling, but it is this blandness that gives people a natural and real emotion.

The first 60 minutes or so are undoubtedly foreshadowing, slowly entering, natural and real.

Among them, whether it is the change of the professor's wife's feelings for rhubarb, or the transformation of various people around the station from surprise to admiration for rhubarb, in fact, it is to pave the way for the whole film to make feelings step by step in a simple plot, and achieve a film artistic effect with thick accumulation and emotional impact.

"It's nice to have a unique cinematic focus. The details are also very good. Jiang Yun said.

There are many black and white scenes in the movie, because in the eyes of dogs, there are only two colors in the world. This is not much different from the original.

Zhang Pu also attaches great importance to the accuracy and authenticity of the film's perspective, showing the real world in the eyes of dogs.

For example, on the way from Rhubarb's home to the station, the movie observes the surrounding shops, pedestrians and streets through the eyes of a dog, so as to express Rhubarb's living environment and the change in people's perception of Rhubarb.

"What about Mr. Han, what did I propose last time?" Zhang Pu then asked.

Compared with when "Crazy Stone" was released, Zhang Pu now has more advantages.

Zhang Pu's "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is still a low-budget movie that needs word-of-mouth fermentation, but it will not need to slowly accumulate popularity like "Crazy Stone".

Because Zhang Pu is no longer unknown, his second movie will be looked forward to by many fans.

"No problem. Han Shan said.

The investment in this film is not large, and the quality of the film is there, and it may not be as profitable as "Crazy Stone", but the possibility of losing money is still extremely low.

Screen in advance, accumulate word-of-mouth, and lay the foundation for the outbreak of the National Day Mid-Autumn Festival.

There may be a real surprise at the box office.

"Don't count on me for propaganda. Jiang Yun suddenly spoke.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he smiled.

At the beginning, he didn't expect Jiang Yun to follow him to run publicity.

"You can attend the press conference once in a while. Jiang Yun continued.

publicity, there will definitely be a press conference.

But Xuan is sure that it's not just about holding a press conference. For example, running roadshows, participating in variety shows, etc.

Zhang Pu nodded.

Jiang Yun is naturally best to attend the press conference, after all, he is the male number one. If you are absent, the scene will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

"Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is set for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and the publicity has gradually begun.

"Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day files?" Huang Ze looked at Yu Yu with some surprise and said, "Is he inflated? Also, the first movie is like that, it is indeed easy to make people inflated." He really thinks that every small-budget movie he has can do miracles!"

The box office of "Crazy Stone" is so amazing, it is undoubtedly a miracle.

Not all low-budget movies can be like that. There is only one "Crazy Stone", and no one thinks that Zhang Pu's new film can continue this miracle.

Small-budget movies are placed in popular schedules such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and there is a great possibility of becoming cannon fodder.

"He became famous at a young age, and it is not impossible to regard chance as inevitable. Yu Yu nodded and said.

Obviously, he also thinks that Zhang Pu is full of self-confidence, thinking that he will be invincible if he makes a "Crazy Stone".

The success of Crazy Stone cannot be replicated.

Not even Zhang Pu himself.

This is almost a common opinion among filmmakers in the circle.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day files are good, and it also makes me work less. Huang Ze said.

His movie, with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan and a strong cast, is barely a blockbuster.

Fully qualified to enter the popular schedule of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.

"Your film is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and there are a lot of voices in the circle that ridicule you!" Xu Jiadong said with a smile, "The investment in this film is indeed smaller." ”

If Zhang Pu's film is a big investment, even if it is a medium-investment film, it is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, it is estimated that not many people will say that he is inflated.

But "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is a small investment after all, and it is also an unpopular theme.

In the eyes of many people, this kind of film chooses this kind of popular schedule, either because it has no autonomy and becomes cannon fodder, or it is full of confidence, thinking that a small-budget film can do those big productions.

Zhang Pu is clearly not the former.

"Why are you just talking in the circle?" Zhang Pu smiled and said, "People outside the circle can also say it." ”

Xu Jiadong was stunned for a moment, but then he reflected.
