Working with Hollywood studios?

Jiang Xingwen naturally did not oppose this matter, and even tried his best to promote it.

Don't blow it up, Hollywood does have too many things worth learning from Chinese filmmakers.

Working with them, there is a natural opportunity to learn.

Of course, you can't lower your bottom line just because you're cooperating.

If this is the case, Zhang Pu and Sean Sommers have already cooperated.

What is the specific plan, Zhang Pu doesn't ask, what he needs to think about is what kind of film to make.

There's a lot more to think about.

Since it is a joint venture, Zhang Pu naturally will not come up with a very good script.

There is no need to cheap Hollywood studios.

Of course, if it's too bad, the other party won't like it.

If you don't look at nature, you can't cooperate.

The script is too good, and I feel like a loss.

The script is too bad and there is no basis for cooperation. Zhang Pu didn't want to smash his signboard like this.

In addition, you also need to bring your own artists in.

However, there is no urgency.

This film will definitely not be on the agenda for a while.

"Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is about to start filming, and Zhang Ke has to follow up on the later stage of his new film.

The most important thing is that the company also needs to contact Universal Pictures first to negotiate a preliminary cooperation plan.

The Golden Dragon Award ceremony came soon, and "Thai Embarrassment" was gradually drawn.

The domestic box office exceeded 1.7 billion, ranking fourth in the total box office.

Such a box office is undoubtedly very impressive.

However, this popularity is obviously not as hot as the Golden Dragon Award ceremony.

No matter what film festival, walking the red carpet is an indispensable link.

Zhang Pu followed the crew of "Looking for the Dragon", and it was Dong Qin who walked the red carpet with him.

"Director Zhang has calculated how many awards you have been shortlisted for this time?" The host asked Zhang Pu with a smile.

"Not really. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

How many awards have you been shortlisted for?

Who's going to count that if you're full!

Being shortlisted is not winning an award.

"One for Best Director, three for Best Screenplay, one for Best Score, and one for Best Movie Song. The host smiled and said, "There are six finalists." ”

"Three best screenwriters?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Even if you count one, you have been shortlisted for four awards!" said the host of the outfield, "What does Director Zhang think about this?"

"I don't think much of it. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

"Director Zhang has been shortlisted for several Golden Dragon Awards every year. Dong Qin said with a smile, "I guess I'm used to it!"

The host was stunned for a moment, and then dumbfounded.

That's true!

It seems that he has been shortlisted for four awards, which is also a normal situation for Zhang Pu, and there is nothing surprising at all.

Dong Qin's four words of "accustomed to" are really incisive!

Zhang Pu debuted not long ago, but there are many such cases.

Zhang Pu and Dong Qin entered the venue, found their seats, and immediately sat down, not chatting in groups like others.

Although the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on the movie channel, the cameras are on the red carpet at this time.

How many celebrities came to the awards ceremony?

Zhang Pu didn't know.

However, the red carpet is estimated to be a long time away. Those guests who entered the venue first had nothing to do, so they naturally got together to chat.

Perhaps, a collaboration was forged out of this kind of small talk.

Not long after, Chen Huatao and Tang Rui walked over.

The two of them walked the red carpet behind Zhang Pu.

And the position of the two of them happened to be around Zhang Pu.

"Huang Ye, that guy is staying with the crew of "Parasite" tonight?" Chen Huatao said with a smile.

Chen Huatao and Huang Ye have a good relationship, and there is a little less politeness between the words, but a little more closeness.

He was nominated for Best Actor for "Parasite", so he was naturally in that crew. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Does he have a chance tonight?" Chen Huatao said, "If he wins the actor, it will be seven billion actors." ”

Seven billion actors and seven billion actors, that is completely different.

The former only reflects his box office appeal, and the latter also reflects his acting skills.

Actors with box office appeal and acting skills are undoubtedly favored by major investors.

"Those who are shortlisted have a chance. Zhang Pu said.

"You don't say it's so official, I'm not a journalist. Chen Huatao pouted and said.

"Four people were nominated for Best Actor, I have only watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Parasite", and I don't know how the other two performed. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "What's more, it is difficult to distinguish between the performance of Li Zhen and Huang Ye." ”

"I don't know when I will be able to win the Golden Dragon Award. Chen Huatao said with some sighs.

He has won the best actor, but he is not the Golden Dragon Award actor.

He has been shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor twice, but he has been hit with soy sauce.

"Defeat Zhou Chaohua, maybe there will be a chance next year. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"You mean that the two of us may be shortlisted for Best Actor at next year's Golden Dragon Awards with "Infernal Affairs"?" Chen Huatao was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Possibly. Zhang Pu nodded.

The finished film of "Infernal Affairs", Zhang Pu has already seen it.

Compared with the original, it is difficult to distinguish which is better and which is inferior.

Chen Huatao and Zhou Chaohua are definitely opponents in the film.

Both of them are not all wonderful.

It's not impossible that both of them will be shortlisted.

Of course, it's hard to say who will win the prize.

"What do you think will happen to the box office of 'Infernal Affairs'?" Chen Huatao continued.

"I shouldn't lose money. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Chen Huatao pouted directly, but Tang Rui, who had never spoken next to him, smiled.

The investment cost of "Infernal Affairs" is not very large.

It is mainly spent on actors' salaries.

Like Chen Huatao and Zhou Chaohua, they are both super first-line stars, even if the friendship price of this film is not a small amount.

In addition, the supporting cast is also extremely strong.

However, the cost of filming and production is not high, and the whole film is not considered as a publicity fee, but it has just broken 100 million.

If the box office of the film reaches 300 million, then it will not lose money.

With the box office appeal of Zhou Chaohua and Chen Huatao, the box office of this film will not be too bad.

What's more, there is also a gimmick of "screenwriter Zhang Pu".

Chen Huatao asked, but he wanted to ask whether the box office of "Infernal Affairs" could break one billion.

Xiangjiang Movie has not had a film that has broken one billion box office!

This is undoubtedly difficult for Xiangjiang filmmakers to accept.

After a few films, Zhang Pu has serious doubts about his ability to estimate the box office.

Therefore, he really doesn't know how much box office "Infernal Affairs" can get.

Anyway, it's definitely a lot higher than the original.

Market factors alone can lead to such a conclusion.

"By the way, I heard that your company has a variety show that has started recording?" asked Chen Huatao.

"What's the matter, Brother Tao is interested in recording an issue?" Zhang Pu smiled and nodded.

""Infernal Affairs" will be released on May Day, record some variety shows, and promote it!" Chen Huatao said, "I heard that the recording place is your hometown?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "No problem, you go alone?"

"Two!" Chen Huatao thought for a while and said, "That guy is also one of the leading actors, and he should also run for publicity." ”

That guy is naturally Zhou Chaohua.

"Will he participate in variety shows?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.

Zhou Chaohua was very cooperative with the movie promotion conference, and even the roadshow or something, but he resisted the recording of variety shows.

He basically doesn't participate in variety shows.

Everyone in this circle knows it.

"He would. Chen Huatao said confidently.

If it were other films, Zhou Chaohua might not be willing. But this film is different.

Although this film is written by Zhang Pu and controlled by Oriental DreamWorks, it is Zhou Chaohua who is the leader.

Whether the Xiangjiang movie can reproduce the dawn depends on this film.

Zhou Chaohua will definitely do his best to promote this film.

"That's good, of course. Zhang Pu nodded and said.

Chen Huatao said that, and Zhang Pu could naturally think of the reason.

"By the way, do you think that guy will win the Best Supporting Actor with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?" Chen Huatao said, "He has won a lot of Best Actor, and it seems that the Best Supporting Actor is the first time." ”

When Zhou Chaohua starred in the movie, he was already popular.

Although he also played supporting roles, his acting skills were not mature at that time.

When his acting skills matured, he didn't have the opportunity to play a supporting role. Therefore, he was shortlisted for the leading actor in all major awards, and it was the first time that he played a supporting role.

"We'll find out later. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

This kind of question that is easy to be slapped in the face, how can Zhang Pu give a clear answer.

Chen Huatao pouted, and then stopped continuing the topic.

The two chatted without a word, and Tang Rui occasionally interjected two sentences.

Subsequently, people from other locations around came one after another, but most of them were listeners and did not interject.

Soon, the award ceremony began.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" got off to a good start, and the first award presented was Best Score.

Zhang Pu also became the first person to accept the Golden Dragon Award on stage.

In this regard, everyone was not much surprised.

After all, Zhang Pu also won an Oscar for Best Score with this film.

"Thank you!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I'm glad to receive this award." In fact, when Director Zhang Ke asked me to score "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I refused. I'm a director, and I don't give food to others when I score my own films. can help other films make soundtracks, that's stealing people's jobs. But the pit you dig yourself, you have to fill it up while kneeling......"

Zhang Pu's acceptance speech was unique and made many people smile.

Especially the filmmakers who made the soundtrack, they couldn't wait to add at this time: You not only robbed us of our jobs, but also robbed our little golden man.

Best soundtrack, Zhang Pu has already won several.

Best Movie Song, Zhang Pu is the same.

The Oscar of this award was not won, but the Golden Dragon Award was won.

Not long after the award ceremony began, Zhang Pu took the stage for the second time.

"I didn't expect to be on stage again so soon, and I don't know if there will be a chance to ...... later"

Is there a chance?

There's definitely a chance!

The best screenwriter of this year's Golden Dragon Awards may be Zhang Pu.
