Chapter 323: Ten Billion Director?
While promoting the movie, it is actually promoting the actors.
Yuan Hong released people, not only because his film also had investment from Oriental DreamWorks, but also because Zhang Chu went to promote Oriental DreamWorks' films.
The investor's face has to be given.
In addition, he and Zhang Chu have cooperated several times, and their personal relationship is good.
Zhang Chu is Zhang Pu's brother again, and that play is still Zhang Pu's work.
Zhang Pu's face has to be given anyway.
Of course, there is another big reason, that is, Zhang Chuyue is popular, and the film he shoots will also be profitable.
What's more, Zhang Chu only asked for leave for more important publicity activities.
In fact, the main force of the promotion of the whole film "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is Deng Kun, Dong Qin, and Guo Yunxi and others.
Zhang Pudu only participated in some publicity conferences.
Deng Kun and others not only participated in publicity conferences, roadshows, but also recorded some variety shows.
Oriental DreamWorks has a lot of promotional resources.
With several popular variety shows, Oriental DreamWorks has a deep relationship with many TV stations.
From the perspective of publicity effect, "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is definitely much better than "Xingtian", and the publicity and distribution costs may be even less.
This has a lot to do with the publicity team and the publicity resources.
"I heard that director Zhang Ke's joint venture film performed very well at the box office in North America. Jiang Xingwen continued.
"It's good news and bad news. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Why good news?
Zhang Ke's film has achieved a brilliant performance in North America, so it must be of great benefit to "Jumanji".
This film will be released during the Spring Festival, that is, "East Becomes West" poses a great threat.
"That film shouldn't have much conflict with "East Becomes West". Jiang Xingwen said.
The types of films are different, and the audience for them is naturally different.
"Released at the same time, where is there no conflict. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "It will definitely be diverted from the box office." ”
"When are you going to release the trailer of "East Becomes West"?" Jiang Xingwen asked.
That's really his main purpose here.
The publicity plan of "East Becomes West" needs to communicate with Zhang Pu.
"Let's wait for the popularity of "Storm and Clouds to Dominate the World" to fade a bit!" Zhang Pu said.
Now that it has been released for a few days, the popularity is high, and it is inevitable that the promotion of "East Becomes West" at this time will inevitably lose some attention.
What's more, there is still a month before the Spring Festival!
The winners and losers of "Storm and Storm Dominate the World" and "Xingtian" have been divided.
"Xingtian" broke one billion at the box office during the New Year's Day holiday, but "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has already exceeded 1.2 billion at this time.
Most of the box office potential of the two films in China has been consumed, and it is hopeless for "Storm and Storm to Dominate the World" to break 2 billion.
The winners and losers have been decided at home, but abroad has only just begun.
"Xingtian" was released in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia in the first two days, but the box office seemed to be a little different from what they expected.
And after the release of "Storm and Storm Dominating the World", they were instantly given 10,000 critical hits.
The cumulative box office of the three days is not as good as the first-day box office of "Storm and Clouds".
"Xingtian" hit the streets in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and I don't know how much psychological shadow it caused to Feng Jiashan and them?" Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu with a smile.
He seemed to be gloating a little.
"Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" became a big hit abroad, and the news was transmitted back to China, which also stimulated the domestic box office.
This is naturally good news for Oriental DreamWorks.
In contrast, this good news is even more worthy of celebration.
"Actually, the box office of "Xingtian" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is still good. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "It's just that they blew up the cow before." ”
It's not good, it can only be said to be good.
"You said that the box office of "Storm and Cloud Dominating the World" in Japan and South Korea is excellent, does it have anything to do with the use of Japanese and Korean actors?" Jiang Xingwen said.
The film market in Japan and South Korea is not small, especially in Japan, which is now the third largest film market.
Jiang Xingwen is afraid that he has tasted the sweetness this time.
The box office of "Storm and Clouds" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia may become Zhang Pu's most grossing film abroad.
In addition, the benefits such as copyright may not be much worse than the domestic benefits.
"The relationship is definitely there. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "But you say how big it is, it doesn't matter." ”
"The Japanese and Korean markets are still very large. Jiang Xingwen said.
Zhang Pu nodded and invited some Japanese and Korean stars, which will undoubtedly better enter the Japanese and Korean markets.
Oriental DreamWorks now needs to look abroad.
The domestic market is no longer satisfied.
Compared to the North American market, it is obviously easier for the Japanese, South Korean and Southeast Asian markets.
The box office of "Xingtian" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia was beaten by "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and the news was transmitted back to China, which still caused a lot of repercussions.
Feng Jiashan was naturally ridiculed.
On the one hand, they boasted about the bull themselves before, and now they are slapping their faces.
On the other hand, it was "hacked" by Oriental DreamWorks, and "Xingtian" was detained as a pot to please foreign fans.
Now it is not pleased, in the words of some netizens, it is a slap on the horse's legs.
Of course, Orange Entertainment is not without words.
North America is the center of gravity of the global film market.
"Xingtian" adds Western elements, which naturally can't please fans in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and Zhang Pu's "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" uses Japanese and Korean actors, which is suspected of flattering.
What is the foreign box office of "Xingtian" depends on the North American box office.
As for the North American box office......
Well, even the release schedule hasn't been decided yet!
The release of Chinese-language films in North America is obviously not as easy as the release of films in places such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Perhaps, Zhang Pu's "Storm and Cloud Dominates the World" has been released in North America, and "Xingtian" has not yet been released.
Oriental DreamWorks and Universal Pictures have a lot of cooperation.
In addition to "Jumanji", there is also an American version of "Infernal Affairs".
The partnership for "The Departed" has also been negotiated.
Therefore, the release of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" in North America is naturally much easier than "Xingtian". What's more, the box office realization of this film is already better than that of "Xingtian".
The popularity of these two films has faded in China, and fans have begun to pay attention to the films released during the Spring Festival.
There are three blockbusters in the Spring Festival, one of which is Zhang Ke's action blockbuster "Special Mission".
As for Zhang Pu's "East Becomes West", it is not a blockbuster.
Compared with its three blockbusters, the film schedule of this film is also lower.
However, with Zhang Pu writing and directing, Deng Kun and many other stars starring, and the market heritage accumulated by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", even if the film schedule is low, it is limited.
Seventeen percent of the films!
Of the other three, "Special Mission", which has the highest film schedule, is only 20%.
This film has a brilliant performance in the North American market, and it is understandable to get the highest schedule.
Of course, this is just the initial schedule.
As soon as the box office came out on the first day, the film schedule must have been adjusted.
Therefore, the publicity of each film is undoubtedly amazing.
The publicity of "East Becomes West" is undoubtedly the smallest among several films. However, as soon as Oriental DreamWorks made a force, there was a feeling of being behind.
The promotion cycle of this film is not long, but it has a lot of momentum. In terms of lineup, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to keep a low profile.
Zhang Pu's current box office appeal in China is unmatched, and I am afraid that few people can match it.
What's more, the film "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is still being screened in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the domestic box office has exceeded 1.5 billion.
The films released at the same time, I'm afraid Zhang Ke can wrestle with him.
But in terms of the cast, "East Becomes West" has thrown off countless streets of "Special Mission".
The all-star lineup is not too lazy to be famous.
The other two blockbusters, on top of the cast, are also difficult to compare.
"I shouldn't be late, right?"
The first publicity conference of "East Becomes West" has not yet started, but Huang Ye hurried over.
"You're more than a month late. ”
Zhang Pu smiled and nodded, while Deng Kun smiled and joked.
"I was a month earlier, didn't I rob you of your job?" Huang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
In the promotion of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", he did not participate in it because of filming.
Maybe even if there is a schedule, I'm afraid I won't participate too much.
He only made a cameo appearance in that film.
Although the role of the mud bodhisattva is counted among many roles, in a sense, he has no obligation to promote this film.
The crowd chatted for a while, and the press conference soon began.
This time, at the press conference, the trailer of the film was played before the question session of media reporters.
The trailer is not long.
The content is dominated by action and characters, with no dialogue, let alone the plot of the film.
But even so, this trailer can arouse fans' desire to watch the movie.
Especially the "Condor Shooting Fans" are even more itchy.
"Director Zhang, do you have the confidence to become the first director in China to exceed 10 billion at the cumulative box office with "East Becomes West"?"
When it came to the reporter's question session, it is estimated that no one expected that the reporter's first question would be this.
Tens of billions of directors?
As soon as these words came out, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"You wait for me to calculate what your current cumulative box office is. ”
Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then began to "pinch his fingers" and count.
"Crazy Stone" is more than 400 million, "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" ...... when "Storm and Cloud Dominate the World" was drawn, it is estimated that 1.7 billion or 1.8 billion will look, so now the cumulative box office is about 8 billion.
It is obviously impossible for the box office of "East Becomes West" not to break two billion.
"I'm really not sure about this!" Zhang Pu immediately shook his head and said, "However, with Huang Ye's film "East City and West", the cumulative box office of the films he participated in should exceed 10 billion. ”
There may not be tens of billions of directors, but there must be tens of billions of actors.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
It was quick to react.
Among Zhang Pu's many films, Huang Ye did not appear in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but he starred in "Parasite" and "Thai Embarrassment".
The combined box office of these two films is more than 2 billion.
Now, counting "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", Huang Ye's cumulative box office has reached more than 9 billion.
With such a lineup of "East Becomes West", is there no box office of hundreds of millions?
