Zhang Pu's new film "Looking for the Dragon" is not only a big production, but also has the support of countless fans of the original work, and the market potential is unimaginable.

There are very few films in China that can compete with it, or are willing to compete with it.

What's more, there is now another Hollywood blockbuster released at the same time.

Therefore, except for "The Mummy", which threatens "Dragon Quest", other films are not worth mentioning.

Even if a dark horse appears, it will definitely not threaten "Dragon Hunting".

Therefore, once the release of "The Mummy" is suspended in China, then "Looking for the Dragon" will definitely be the biggest winner.

Not to mention anything else, the film schedule will add a lot.

Even if there is a blockbuster file to make up for this vacancy, it will definitely suffer a lot in terms of publicity.

Therefore, there may not be blockbusters willing to raise the file.

The trailer of "The Mummy" is only two minutes away, but Zhang Pu sees the shadow of his script, and after adding some other news, Zhang Pu feels that it is very likely that Sean Sommers has not gotten rid of the shadow of his script.

Sean Sommers is not a director who is good at screenwriting after all.

Chen Huatao's curiosity was aroused by Zhang Pu.

However, Zhang Pu didn't continue to chat, and he didn't continue to ask.

"If 'Looking for the Dragon' is a good box office, are you really not ready to continue directing this series?" Chen Huatao asked Zhang Pu.

The commercial value of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very high, which Chen Huatao knows very well.

Zhang Pu intends to make it into a series of movies, and Chen Huatao naturally knows that his contract is not for one, but for this series.

"There are a lot of films I want to make, and I can't keep busy. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

His work for the next few years has already been planned.

How many years will you make this series of films?

This is clearly a waste.

It's definitely a loss for the company.

So why is Zhang Pu still holding on?

"I remember mentioning to you last time that Director Xu was very interested in this series. Chen Huatao said.

"You can ask him to talk about it when you have time. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Xu Ming is indeed a very suitable director for this series.

Of course, it's not the only one.

Zhang Pu doesn't shoot this series, and several of the company's contracted directors are not suitable at all, so they can only cooperate with directors outside the company.

A director like Xu Ming, who has his own film studio, is undoubtedly the first choice.

The meal didn't last long, but the topic of conversation mostly revolved around movies.

People in a circle naturally talk about common topics.

On the way home.

"What do you think of your brother and Guo Yunxi together?" asked Xu Jiahui with a smile.

"Two eyes. Zhang Pu said.

"Hmph!" Xu Jiahui pouted and said, "I don't believe you don't understand what I mean." ”

"Does my brother like it?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "If a man doesn't have something for a woman to draw, it's a failure." ”

"Then what do you think I want from you?" Xu Jiahui said with a smile.

He can see it, and Zhang Pu is also an understanding person.

Guo Yunxi and Zhang Chu are together, and they may not really fall in love with Zhang Chu. She and Zhang Chu can undoubtedly get more resources from the company.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Xu Jiahui asked, it was just a small talk between lovers, and it didn't mean anything else.

What's more, it's not the point.

Whether Zhang Chuxi likes it or not is the key.

Even if the two are separated in the future, will Zhang Chu suffer?

Emotional matters, sometimes think so clearly, but not beautiful.

Perhaps, Guo Yunxi may not be with him because of Zhang Chu's identity.

Zhang Chu himself has strong potential, he is also tall and handsome, and he is not useless, he is still very charming.

You can't suspect that the female star who is with him has other plans just because he is Zhang Pu's brother, right?

"You want my body!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Get out!" Xu Jiahui pouted.

"Then what are you trying to do with me?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Do you have anything worth me?" Xu Jiahui asked without answering.

"No?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Then wouldn't I be a great failure as a man?"

When Xu Jiahui heard this, she smiled.

In this world, it is estimated that only Zhang Pu himself would say such things.

Zhang Pu is now a successful model for young people.

How could he be a failed man.

What is she trying to do?

Maybe Xu Jiahui doesn't know it herself.

Sometimes, when two people are together, they may not want to do anything to each other.

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, the press conference of "Looking for the Dragon" was held on time.

The main creators of the film were all present.

Zhang Pu, Chen Huatao, Tang Rui, Huang Ye, Dong Qin, Guo Yunxi, Cai Ya, Zhang Yu......

Needless to say, although Zhang Pu is young, he is definitely one of the most box office appealing directors in China.

And the cast is undoubtedly extremely strong.

Chen Huatao is properly super first-line, Tang Rui is first-line, Huang Yezhun is first-line, Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi are the most popular ones in the second line.

Cai Ya and Zhang Yu are definitely second-tier now.

Such a lineup is extremely attractive to fans.

Naturally, this press conference also attracted countless media reporters.

At the beginning of the press conference, there was a super long trailer, then an introduction, and finally it was the turn of reporters to ask questions.

"Director Zhang, what is your box office estimate for this film, can it break the 2 billion mark?"

A reporter was the first to ask.

Zhang Pu has broken one billion in two consecutive films, and "Looking for the Dragon" has undoubtedly broken the record of Zhang Pu's previous films in terms of investment cost and cast.

Many people say that Zhang Pu's box office for filming this film is to hit the 2 billion mark.

It seems that no one doubts that this film will not break a billion.

Even if it is released at the same time as a Hollywood blockbuster, breaking one billion is ironclad in their eyes.

Breaking 2 billion?

Zhang Pu had to say that this reporter really dared to think about it.

The box office of the original version doesn't seem to break 2 billion, right?

broke 2 billion, Zhang Pu never thought about it at all.

Compared with the original, the special effects must have been greatly improved, and Zhang Pu has spent a lot of money on it, and the budget has exceeded a lot.

In addition, the director and cast are definitely much stronger than the box office appeal of the original.

But the film market is relatively small.

Zhang Pu's inner expectation is that there will be an original box office.

"Breaking the box office of 2 billion, you really dare to think about it!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Then borrow your auspicious words, if you really break the box office of 2 billion, I will give you a big red envelope." ”

"I've never been very accurate about the box office estimates of films. Zhang Pu continued, "So I won't say it, so as not to be slapped in the face again." ”

"What is Director Zhang's expectation for the box office of this film?"

The reporter seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhang Pu's perfunctory answer, and continued to ask.

There's no explosion!

"Of course, the higher the better!" Zhang Pu said, "So, I set a small goal for the box office of "Looking for the Dragon", and first break his billion. ”

A billion box office!

As soon as Zhang Pu's words came out, the audience was silent for an instant, and then they all looked at Zhang Pu strangely.

How dare you say it!

There are only a few directors who break one billion in the circle, but breaking one billion has become a small goal for you.

How can you embarrass other directors in the circle?

You have to know how many directors racked their brains to break the box office of one billion.

"Set a small goal for yourself first, for example: earn him 100 million ...... first"

In many people's minds, they suddenly remembered the that Zhang Pu once bragged.

Nowadays, this remark is ridiculed by netizens from time to time.

But Zhang Pu has already achieved this small goal.

So is the small goal he set for "Dragon Hunting" exaggerated?

It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration at all.

The previous two films broke the box office of one billion.

And whether it is the investment production cost or the cast, it is far inferior to this "Dragon Hunt"!

It seems that there is nothing wrong with setting such a small goal of one billion box office for "Dragon Hunting".

Although there is nothing wrong, this "small target" instantly exploded on the Internet and was talked about by countless people.

When the news breaks out, the publicity effect will naturally come out.

"Director Zhang, what do you think of "The Mummy", which was released at the same time, and did you feel any pressure when it was released at the same time as this Hollywood film?"

At the press conference, it was natural to be asked by reporters about the film "The Mummy".

Everyone can see that this film is the biggest competitor of "Looking for the Dragon", and it is also the only competitor.

"I also wrote a script about Egyptian mummies, and even discussed it with Sean Sommos, the director of the film "The Mummy", but unfortunately I couldn't reach a collaboration. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "So, I'm still looking forward to his "Mummy". As for the pressure, it's still somehow there!"

Write a script about Egyptian mummies, talk to Sean Sommers, and almost work together?

Zhang Pu's words made the reporters present feel that there was something in them!

Didn't Sean Sommers, a great Hollywood director, like Zhang Pu's script?

This is exciting news.

Zhang Pu's script has a very high reputation in China, and Oriental DreamWorks has poached many directors with Zhang Pu's script.

And whether it is a movie or a TV series written by Zhang Pu, the box office or ratings and word of mouth are all excellent.

Zhang Pu also won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, why can't Sean Sommers like Zhang Pu's script?

In addition, "The Mummy" is a Sino-foreign joint venture film, and Orange Entertainment is one of its investors.

Could it be that Orange Entertainment intercepted Zhang Pu's Hu?

It seems very likely!

So why did Sean Sommers choose Orange Entertainment instead of Oriental DreamWorks?

There seem to be a lot of melons to dig up here!

Zhang Pu's words made the reporters present think about it.

However, they did not continue to ask, and some things were asked clearly, but there were restrictions.

Therefore, in their reports, they intentionally or unintentionally make people think about it, and they feel like they have big melons to eat.

This popularity is directly chasing the "small goal" set by Zhang Pu for "Looking for the Dragon".

The press conference of "Looking for the Dragon" was undoubtedly a success.

Just by virtue of the topic of "small goals", the attention of the film has increased greatly.

But in the eyes of some, it was also a failure.

Because of the promotion of the film "Looking for the Dragon", but because of Zhang Pu's revelations, the attention of the film "The Mummy" also soared.

While promoting his own movies, he also helped his competitors promote a wave.

Why would Zhang Pu make such a mistake?
