Chapter 395: It's already very tactful

In Zhang Pu's last two works, Huang Ye did not participate, and he is still the actor who has starred in Zhang Pu's films the most.

Even Zhang Chu is not as good as him.

A large part of the reason why Huang Ye can become the first 10 billion actor is this.

It's just a pity that Huang Ye starred in Zhang Pu's film, and there was no one.

Even if it is "Looking for the Dragon", although he is the protagonist, he can only be ranked second, or even third, not as good as Hu Bayi played by Chen Huatao and Yang Xueli played by Tang Rui.

Of course, even so, no one questioned the gold content of Huang Ye, the "10 billion actor".

He starred in films such as "Parasite", which still has a great influence.

Today, he is also one of the most box office appealing actors in China.

"We didn't dare to do that back then. Huang Ye heard Zhang Pu say that and said with a smile.

When he got married, it was inevitable that people would gossip about his son's marriage.

Today, times are different.

He got married early, and although he is only in his forties now, his children are about to go to college.

"Listen, how do you feel like you're a lot older!" Chen Huatao said with a smile.

He has not been a father for a long time, but he is older than Huang Ye.

"The one in your family may not have studied yet, and the kid in his family is afraid that he will get married and have children. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The kid from Huang Ye's family, Zhang Pu has seen it.

used to study in his hometown, and after Huang Ye became famous, he took him to Yanjing.

For admission, Huang Ye also asked Zhang Pu for help.

Of course, in the end, it was Xu Jiadong who helped.

"Then should I prepare a piece of money in advance?" Chen Huatao said with a smile.

"You can prepare Director Zhang's share first!" Huang Ye said with a smile.

"Let's prepare together!" Xu Ming said with a smile when he heard this.

After talking and laughing, the apprehension in Xu Ming's heart faded a lot.

However, there are more and more filmmakers waiting to be cheered, and Xu Ming's emotions are tense again, and his heart is beating faster.

This drama is the highlight of Oriental DreamWorks, and almost all the directors and artists of the company, as long as they can spare time, come.

Wen Hao also came.

Zhang Pu may not have seen him for a long time.

"When will Jurassic Park start?" asked Zhang Pu casually.

This film Oriental DreamWorks attaches great importance to.

If the movie is pounced, the loss is not ordinarily large.

"Probably after 'Transformers'. Wen Hao said with a smile.

This film puts much more pressure on him than "The Wandering Earth".

If "The Wandering Earth" pounces, it will also invest in the loss of the movie, but if "Jurassic Park" pounces, it will not only be the money invested in the movie.

What's more, "Jurassic Park" has a lot of investment than "The Wandering Earth".

"You're not going to wait until the park is finished to shoot, are you?" Zhang asked.

"We are willing, and Wanhui Group is not willing to do it!" Wen Hao said, "When the movie is released, the park is estimated to be open for business!"

Oriental DreamWorks and Wanhui Group have teamed up to create a "Jurassic Park"!

Oriental DreamWorks also participated in the investment in this park.

If the movie pounces, then this "Jurassic Park" is estimated to have to pounce too.

It can be described as a link and a link.

This is the reason why Wen Hao feels a lot of pressure.

Where would he have thought that to make a movie, the company directly cooperated with the real estate tycoon to build a park.

That's a big deal!

It's a park, not a film and television city.

In China, it is not for nothing to make a movie and build a film and television city by the way.

But the movie pounced, and the impact on the film and television city was limited.

The film and television city can also attract a lot of crews and even tourists.

But the park is different.

If the movie is pounced and the influence is insufficient, the impact on this park will not be ordinarily big!

Zhang Pu nodded, movies, parks, etc., are linked to each other, promoting and influencing each other.

The best time to open the park is undoubtedly when the movie is released.

If you wait for the park to finish, the movie will start again.

Then wouldn't the repaired park have to be idle for at least half a year?

For a special effects blockbuster like "Jurassic Park", the post-production time is definitely not short.

Xu Ming is a well-known director in Xiangjiang, and when "Ghost Blows the Lantern 2" premiered, many filmmakers from Xiangjiang came to cheer.

The hall with hundreds of seats was quickly filled.

Zhang Pu, as an author and one of the screenwriters, is also a nominal producer, so naturally he is indispensable to say a few words on stage.

The promotion of the film was originally based on him as a gimmick.

Who made him popular now, and he has great box office appeal?

"A lot of people ask me, why don't you continue to direct the 'Ghost Blowing the Lantern' series?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I believe that after the release of this film, the answer will be obvious." Director Xu is obviously more suitable as the director of this series than me, even if I am the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”

"Not to mention that everyone on the earth knows it, but there must be a lot of people who know it. Zhang Pu continued, "When I wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it was purely to raise money to shoot "Crazy Stone". and movies, there is a big difference. If I direct, I will inevitably be influenced and limited by the original work......"

Zhang Pu doesn't talk much, but everyone can hear that he is supporting Xu Ming, and he has full confidence in Xu Ming's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

However, in the end, it is necessary to use movies to speak.

The second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is adapted from the nine-story demon tower and the exquisite ancient city.

The plot is fast-paced and dangerous, and the atmosphere of the whole film can be described as thrilling, which captures the audience's emotions.

Even if everyone knew that Hu Bayi and the others were definitely fine, they still sweated for them.

Adventure, the word "risk" is vividly displayed.

It's more than just a human experience.

Needless to say, with the development of technology and the increase in cost, both the effect and the scene are much better than "Dragon Hunting".

At the end of the film, the suspense is left and the foreshadowing is laid for the next step.

"Dig a pit again. Xu Jiahui couldn't help but jump ship.

Zhang Pu next to him smiled.

Aren't all series of movies like this?

A movie that doesn't dig a hole is still called a series of movies?

"How?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.

"It feels better than "Dragon Hunt"... More exciting. Xu Jiahui looked at Zhang Pu with a smile.

Since Zhang Pu asked, she naturally wouldn't hide it, and she didn't need to leave Zhang Pu any "face".

"So I said that Director Xu is more suitable to be the director of this series. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Xu Jiahui's words are actually very euphemistic, I didn't directly say that it is better than "Looking for the Dragon", which is already good.

It may be difficult to say who is superior and who is inferior in the two films, but Xu Ming's film is indeed more thrilling than "Looking for the Dragon".

Perhaps, it is more in line with the appetite of fans of the original book.

"Then the box office of this film should be stable. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The reputation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" is very open.

Fabulous!

Whether it is film critics, major media, and fans who participated in the premiere of the film, the film has a high evaluation.

Most of them are compared with "Looking for the Dragon", and they all use the evaluation of "each has its own merits".

Of course, there are also a small number of people who say that it is better than "Looking for the Dragon", as Zhang Pu himself said, Xu Ming is more suitable for directing the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.

Of course, there are also people who say that this film is not as good as "Looking for the Dragon".

Movie fans, each with their own preferences.

It's normal for some people to like it, for some people not to like it.

The reputation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" is estimated to be stable, and now it is worth worrying about the box office of the film.

The success of the first part has accumulated a huge fan base for this film.

But it was also because the first part was too successful that it invisibly pressed a mountain on this film.

"The box office of the film came out on the first day, how much do you guess the box office?"

Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu with joy on his face and said.

It is not difficult to see from his smile that the box office of the film on the first day is estimated to have surprised him.

The film's reputation is stable, and as soon as the box office comes out on the first day, it can basically give a rough judgment.

If the reputation is good, there will be no cliff-like decline at the box office in the future.

"More than 300 million. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Jiang Xingwen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhang Pu to guess so accurately.

How did he know?

Did someone tell him in advance?

Probably not!

He got the statistics and immediately came to Zhang Pu's office.

The offices of the two were already connected.

"There is a real-time box office on the Internet, is it difficult to guess the box office of more than 300 million on the first day?" Zhang Pu saw Jiang Xingwen's expression, and immediately explained.

When Jiang Xingwen heard this, he was instantly stunned.

"This movie is a success, Xu Ming should not refuse to continue directing this film. Zhang Pu continued, "The company will find a time to talk to him again." ”

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

If in the past, he still had doubts about whether Xu Ming was the most suitable for directing this series, then this time his doubts have been eliminated.

He believes in Xu Ming's directing ability, but if the box office of this movie does not meet expectations and fans do not recognize it, even if he is very capable, he is the most suitable, and it is undoubtedly still very risky to continue to let him direct.

Previously, after watching the film, he invited Xu Ming to continue directing, but after Xu Ming refused, he never mentioned it again, which is undoubtedly the reason for this.

Now, continuing to shoot the next one can indeed be put on the agenda.

Then Xu Ming, the director, has to get it done first.

The screenwriter of the script, who is also involved as a director, is undoubtedly the best.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" and the box office exceeded 300 million on the first day, which is still quite amazing.

This single-day box office naturally won the single-day box office championship without any suspense, and ranked second, which is also a big production, but the box office on the first day was only more than 200 million.

The third-ranked film has a single-day box office of less than 50 million.

The two films accounted for most of the total, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" directly accounted for half of the domestic single-day box office.

Naturally, there has been an increase in film scheduling.

The popularity of the film is still the same, the film schedule has increased, and the single-day box office will naturally not be bad.

On the second day of release, the box office statistics came out.

The single-day box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" still exceeded 300 million, winning the single-day box office champion for a second time!

With such a box office, Xu Ming's anxious heart instantly became extremely excited, and he naturally agreed to the invitation of Oriental DreamWorks.

Who is going to have trouble with money?

As a director, he undoubtedly made a lot of money this time, and no matter how bad the sequel is, I am afraid it will not lose money.
