The commercial value of "Transformers" is obviously not just the box office of the movie.

Jiang Xingwen, who has read the script, is naturally very clear about this.

Oriental DreamWorks is now laying out film and television peripherals, how can Jiang Xingwen not see the value of this movie's peripheral products?

What's more, he didn't have much research on children's toys, but he was a father at an early age, so he naturally knew how attractive a shape-shifting one could be for children, especially boys.

The later stage of "Wolf Warrior 2" has come to an end, and the preparation of "Transformers" is naturally on the agenda.

And the first to get the news is naturally the people associated with it.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Ye Fan looked at his agent and said in disbelief.

He is very popular now, and his popularity is indeed very high, even better than those first-line popular stars.

But Ye Fan knew very well that he couldn't compare with Deng Kun and the others.

He may not be able to afford a movie now.

That's why his film contract is basically a TV series, not a movie.

He never thought that he would star in a movie, let alone a blockbuster, and it was also Zhang Pu's blockbuster.

Zhang Pu's blockbuster male lead, who in the circle doesn't want to fight?

Ye Fan didn't think that he had won Deng Kun and others.

"Director Zhang's new film, your male number one has basically been decided. Moreover, I heard that Zhang Chu will also play a supporting role in the film!" Ye Fan's agent said.

The agent's income is tied to the artist. The better the artist's development, the more the agent will naturally earn.

Ye Fan was able to get the male number one in Zhang Pu's new film, and he was naturally very happy.

Zhang Pu's new film is the beginning of his entry into the international market.

This is no secret within the company.

"You're making a bigger joke. Ye Fan said with a smile.

Who is Zhang Chu?

How could he match himself?

Even if the supporting role he plays is outstanding, it is impossible.

"What Mr. Jiang said, can I still joke about this?" said the agent, "Your male number one is Zhang Daoding." ”

Ye Fan looked at his agent, and it didn't seem to be a joke.

"Really?"

Could it be that you have come and gone?

The news quickly spread through the company.

After Ye Fan got the script, he still felt a little unreal.

The male and female protagonists of the original version of "Transformers" are high school students, but Zhang Pu has modified this.

After all, under the national conditions, high school students fall in love, and in the eyes of many people, it is early love.

It is obviously more acceptable for college students to fall in love than for high school students to fall in love.

In fact, the real protagonists of this series of films are those Autobots.

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron......

The impression left by these Autobots on fans is definitely more impressive than that of the heroes and heroines.

can play the male number one for Ye Fan, which also has unimaginable benefits.

The male number one is Ye Fan, and the female number one is a newcomer.

Zhang Chu will play a supporting role, playing the role of the captain of the special forces. In addition, Tan Siming will also play one of the members of the special forces.

Actors who have played special forces in "Wolf Warrior" will also participate in this film.

The blockbuster film "Transformers" undoubtedly needs strong support from the military, and even the support is much greater than that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

If it weren't for that, Zhang Pu wouldn't dare to shoot this film.

And if you want to get the support of the military, you naturally can't avoid the Military Art Center and Huaying.

This film is also invested and produced by three companies.

As for the proportion of investment, it has not yet been discussed.

But no matter how you talk about it, Oriental DreamWorks will definitely occupy more than half.

In late June, the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" was completed, and the publicity efforts were gradually increased. And "The Shawshank Redemption" is still being released, and the popularity is not as good as before, but the word-of-mouth continues to ferment.

The box office of the film was much better than expected. Without a doubt, it was an extremely successful film.

"Wolf Warrior 2" began to be promoted, and the topic naturally gradually increased.

Especially after the release of the first trailer.

The trailer is less than two minutes long.

The content is only superficial, but many of the exciting pictures in it are exciting.

The trailer is dominated by Leng Feng played by Zhang Chu.

However, other important supporting roles also have pictures, such as Ye Fan, whose picture is holding a gun against Zhang Chu.

Of course, the most impressive thing in the trailer is the moment when more than a dozen tanks appear.

Now it's just a preliminary publicity, and there is no need for director Zhang Pu to run for publicity.

Zhang Pu has now put more energy into the preparation of "Transformers".

After the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" was completed, he participated in the preparation of the new film.

The preparation of this film is obviously a bit more troublesome than the others.

Like those Autobots.

Even if Zhang Pu drew the renderings of those Autobots according to the original.

But it can still be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If nothing else, making those props is a bit time-consuming and laborious.

"The cost of advertising placement ......" Jiang Xingwen asked Zhang Pu and wanted to hear his reserve price.

"The one with the highest price wins. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "As for whether to sell a series or sell one, we will talk about it when the time comes." Let's do some renderings first, and if you want people to pay for it, you have to get some materials. ”

"Well, if you can design the corresponding toy, it will be better. Zhang Pu then added.

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

"That's right!" Zhang Pu said, "The matter of adapting the cartoon ......"

"I've given some of the outlines you wrote to the screenwriting department. Jiang Xingwen said, "However, the screenwriting department is a little busy now, and I'm afraid it will take a while." ”

Zhang Pu has still seen the cartoon of "Transformers".

Even if you don't read it all, you can write an outline, and you can still do it.

"Is the sequel to 'Transformers' really ready for Jiang Bin to direct?" Jiang Xingwen asked.

Jiang Yun asked his son to serve as an assistant director for Zhang Pu, what is his purpose, Zhang Pu and Jiang Xingwen are actually very clear.

This made Jiang Xingwen feel that the risk was too great, and he did not have the slightest confidence.

The first part of "Transformers" has invested more than one billion, and the sequel may be even more amazing.

This investment is also a blockbuster in Hollywood, if it is only based on the domestic box office, it will not be able to recover if it is not 3 billion, and it will not even be able to recover the capital.

And now on the box office list of Chinese films, only one film, "The Wandering Earth", has broken 3 billion.

Although Jiang Bin came back from Hollywood, he has no experience in shooting blockbusters after all.

He doesn't have as much box office appeal as Zhang Pu!

"It's too early to talk about this!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "If the first film fails at the box office, the second film will naturally be gone." ”

"When I'm shooting, I give him the opportunity to direct and see what he's capable of. Zhang Pu continued, "What's more, even if the first part explodes at the box office, the filming of the second part can also be pushed forward, and he will open another film to practice first." ”

directly give "Transformers 2" to Jiang Bin, not to mention Jiang Xingwen, Zhang Pu is also not at ease.

How capable Jiang Bin is, they don't understand at all.

If you don't understand, where does your confidence come from?

Jiang Xingwen nodded.

What Jiang Bin's ability is, Zhang Pu doesn't know.

However, Zhang Pu had a good impression of him, humble and gentle, and polite.

This is not just true for Zhang Pu, but also for everyone in the company.

Of course, Zhang Pu believes that his ability should not be bad.

A person with a heart should have two brushes.

After graduating, he did not return to China, but chose to mix in Hollywood.

The level of difficulty is clear at a glance.

Although he didn't make a name for himself in Hollywood, he did make two films.

This is enough to show that he is extraordinary.

And he chose to stay in Hollywood, I'm afraid he still wants to study more.

Zhang Pu also specially looked for those two films.

Not bad indeed.

"Transformers" has begun preparations, and Jiang Bin, as the assistant director, naturally participates in the whole process.

"How does it feel to go to the company these days?" Jiang Yun asked Jiang Bin.

"It's good!" Jiang Bin said with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect the distance between China and Hollywood to be so close." ”

There are places in Oriental DreamWorks that give him a sense of immediacy in Hollywood studios.

"Although Zhang Pu is younger than you, you have to learn a lot from him. "Don't think that you've been in Hollywood for a few years and you're looking at everything, thinking how good you are. ”

"Mom, you've said this many times. Jiang Bin said with a wry smile.

He really didn't care about it before, but after more contact with Zhang Pu, he knew that there was no vanity under the fame.

Zhang Pu is more powerful than he imagined.

Especially in the past few days, following the preparation of "Transformers" has shocked them several times. The arrogance of his return from Hollywood has been completely worn out in the past few days.

"It's not that I'm afraid that you don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and make your little junior brother unhappy. Cai Ya said, "If your father didn't have the script given by Zhang Pu, would he have such a beautiful scene?"

Jiang Yun opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute it.

Jiang Bin smiled.

He also strongly agrees with this.

No matter how good a director is, if he doesn't have a good script, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

If Jiang Yun didn't have the script provided by Zhang Pu, he would have been able to win the Cannes Palme d'Or and win the Oscar for Best Director?

I'm afraid it's really impossible.

No one doubts Zhang Pu's directing ability, but the most powerful thing is his screenwriting ability.

Zhang Pu's screenwriting ability is highly affirmed by Hollywood.

"Dad, will the company really let me take over Transformers?" Jiang Bin said.

The more he learned about the film, the more he wanted to take over.

Even if Zhang Puyuzhu was in front of him and put great pressure on him, he still wanted to take over.

"It depends on how you do when you're shooting. Jiang Yun thought for a while and said, "If the performance is too unbearable, such a big production, do you think the company can let you take over?"

Oriental DreamWorks is now a listed company, and it is inevitable that it is a little more cautious than before.

What's more, even if it is not listed, regardless of the story, such a large investment will be just as cautious.

Even if Jiang Bin is related, but the ability is not there, there is still no play.

"When the film is filmed, Zhang Pu will definitely give you the opportunity to take charge of the camera. Jiang Yun continued, "If you perform well, it is estimated that before directing the sequel to "Transformers", I will give you a film to practice." ”

I have to say that Jiang Yun knows Zhang Pu and Jiang Xingwen very well.
